    Book 40 Matthew



    001:001 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David,
                    the son of Abraham.

    001:002 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
                    Judas and his brethren;

    001:003 And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
                    Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;

    001:004 And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and
                    Naasson begat Salmon;

    001:005 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth;
                    and Obed begat Jesse;

    001:006 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
                    Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

    001:007 And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
                    begat Asa;

    001:008 And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
                    begat Ozias;

    001:009 And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
                    begat Ezekias;

    001:010 And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon
                    begat Josias;

    001:011 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
                    they were carried away to Babylon:

    001:012 And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
                    Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

    001:013 And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
                    Eliakim begat Azor;

    001:014 And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
                    Eliud;

    001:015 And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
                    Matthan begat Jacob;

    001:016 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born
                    Jesus, who is called Christ.

    001:017 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen
                    generations; and from David until the carrying away into
                    Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away
                    into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

    001:018 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.

    001:019 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to
                    make her a publick example, was minded to put her away
                    privily.

    001:020 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the
                    LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of
                    David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that
                    which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

    001:021 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
                    JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

    001:022 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
                    spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

    001:023 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a
                    son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being
                    interpreted is, God with us.

    001:024 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
                    Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

    001:025 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:
                    and he called his name JESUS.

    002:001 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of
                    Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to
                    Jerusalem,

    002:002 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.

    002:003 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled,
                    and all Jerusalem with him.

    002:004 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of
                    the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should
                    be born.

    002:005 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is
                    written by the prophet,

    002:006 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 my people Israel.

    002:007 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired
                    of them diligently what time the star appeared.

    002:008 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.

    002:009 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
                    star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it
                    came and stood over where the young child was.

    002:010 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
                    joy.

    002:011 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 treasures, they presented unto
                    him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.

    002:012 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return
                    to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

    002:013 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
                    appeareth 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.

    002:014 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
                    night, and departed into Egypt:

    002:015 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.

    002:016 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.

    002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
                    prophet, saying,

    002:018 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.

    002:019 But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
                    appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

    002:020 Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go
                    into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the
                    young child's life.

    002:021 And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
                    came into the land of Israel.

    002:022 But when he heard that Archelaus 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:

    002:023 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.

    003:001 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
                    wilderness of Judaea,

    003:002 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

    003:003 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
                    saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye
                    the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

    003:004 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.

    003:005 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
                    region round about Jordan,

    003:006 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.

    003:007 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
                    his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who
                    hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

    003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

    003:009 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.

    003:010 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.

    003:011 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:

    003:012 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.

    003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
                    baptized of him.

    003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
                    thee, and comest thou to me?

    003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
                    thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
                    suffered him.

    003:016 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:

    003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
                    whom I am well pleased.

    004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be
                    tempted of the devil.

    004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
                    afterward an hungred.

    004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
                    of God, command that these stones be made bread.

    004:004 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.

    004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
                    him on a pinnacle of the temple,

    004:006 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.

    004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
                    the Lord thy God.

    004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
                    mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and
                    the glory of them;

    004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
                    wilt fall down and worship me.

    004:010 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.

    004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
                    ministered unto him.

    004:012 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
                    departed into Galilee;

    004:013 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is
                    upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

    004:014 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
                    prophet, saying,

    004:015 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
                    the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

    004:016 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them
                    which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung
                    up.

    004:017 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for
                    the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

    004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
                    Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into
                    the sea: for they were fishers.

    004:019 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers
                    of men.

    004:020 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

    004:021 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the
                    son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee
                    their father, mending their nets; and he called them.

    004:022 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and
                    followed him.

    004:023 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
                    synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
                    healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among
                    the people.

    004:024 And his fame went throughout 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 lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and
                    he healed them.

    004:025 And there followed him great multitudes of people from
                    Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from
                    Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

    005:001 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and
                    when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

    005:002 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

    005:003 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of
                    heaven.

    005:004 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

    005:005 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

    005:006 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
                    righteousness: for they shall be filled.

    005:007 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

    005:008 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

    005:009 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
                    children of God.

    005:010 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake:
                    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    005:011 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,
                    and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my
                    sake.

    005:012 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
                    heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
                    you.

    005:013 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.

    005:014 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill
                    cannot be hid.

    005:015 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.

    005:016 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
                    good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

    005:017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
                    I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

    005:018 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.

    005:019 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.

    005:020 For I 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.

    005:021 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt
                    not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
                    judgment:

    005:022 But I say unto you, That whosoever 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.

    005:023 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
                    rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

    005:024 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first
                    be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy
                    gift.

    005:025 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way
                    with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the
                    judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be
                    cast into prison.

    005:026 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
                    thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

    005:027 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt
                    not commit adultery:

    005:028 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust
                    after her hath committed adultery with her already in his
                    heart.

    005:029 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck 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.

    005:030 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 into hell.

    005:031 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him
                    give her a writing of divorcement:

    005:032 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
                    saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit
                    adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced
                    committeth adultery.

    005:033 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:

    005:034 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for
                    it is God's throne:

    005:035 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
                    Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

    005:036 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not
                    make one hair white or black.

    005:037 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
                    whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

    005:038 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a
                    tooth for a tooth:

    005:039 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
                    shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other
                    also.

    005:040 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy
                    coat, let him have thy cloak also.

    005:041 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
                    twain.

    005:042 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
                    of thee turn not thou away.

    005:043 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
                    neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

    005:044 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse
                    you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
                    despitefully use you, and persecute you;

    005:045 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.

    005:046 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
                    not even the publicans the same?

    005:047 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than
                    others? do not even the publicans so?

    005:048 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
                    heaven is perfect.

    006:001 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
                    them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in
                    heaven.

    006:002 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet
                    before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
                    streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
                    you, They have their reward.

    006:003 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy
                    right hand doeth:

    006:004 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
                    in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

    006:005 And when thou prayest, thou shalt 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.

    006:006 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.

    006:007 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do:
                    for they think that they shall be heard for their much
                    speaking.

    006:008 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
                    what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

    006:009 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
                    heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

    006:010 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
                    heaven.

    006:011 Give us this day our daily bread.

    006:012 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

    006:013 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For
                    thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
                    Amen.

    006:014 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
                    will also forgive you:

    006:015 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your
                    Father forgive your trespasses.

    006:016 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
                    countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may
                    appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
                    their reward.

    006:017 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy
                    face;

    006:018 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
                    which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
                    shall reward thee openly.

    006:019 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and
                    rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

    006:020 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither
                    moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
                    through nor steal:

    006:021 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    006:022 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
                    single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

    006:023 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
                    darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness,
                    how great is that darkness!

    006:024 No man 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.

    006:025 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
                    ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
                    what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
                    body than raiment?

    006:026 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they
                    reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
                    them. Are ye not much better than they?

    006:027 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
                    stature?

    006:028 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
                    the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

    006:029 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
                    not arrayed like one of these.

    006:030 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to
                    day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much
                    more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

    006:031 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
                    shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

    006:032 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
                    heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

    006:033 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
                    and all these things shall be added unto you.

    006:034 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
                    take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
                    is the evil thereof.

    007:001 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

    007:002 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with
                    what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

    007:003 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
                    but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    007:004 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?

    007:005 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.

    007:006 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.

    007:007 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
                    knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

    007:008 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
                    findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

    007:009 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
                    he give him a stone?

    007:010 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

    007:011 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?

    007:012 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to
                    you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the
                    prophets.

    007:013 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:

    007:014 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
                    leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    007:015 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
                    clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

    007:016 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
                    thorns, or figs of thistles?

    007:017 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
                    corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

    007:018 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a
                    corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

    007:019 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
                    and cast into the fire.

    007:020 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

    007:021 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
                    the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
                    which is in heaven.

    007:022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
                    prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils?
                    and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    007:023 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
                    from me, ye that work iniquity.

    007:024 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:

    007:025 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.

    007:026 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:

    007:027 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.

    007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the
                    people were astonished at his doctrine:

    007:029 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the
                    scribes.

    008:001 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
                    followed him.

    008:002 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
                    Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

    008:003 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will;
                    be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

    008:004 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.

    008:005 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him
                    a centurion, beseeching him,

    008:006 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
                    grievously tormented.

    008:007 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

    008:008 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
                    thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only,
                    and my servant shall be healed.

    008:009 For I am a man under authority, 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, and he doeth it.

    008:010 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that
                    followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great
                    faith, no, not in Israel.

    008:011 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
                    west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob,
                    in the kingdom of heaven.

    008:012 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer
                    darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    008:013 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou
                    hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was
                    healed in the selfsame hour.

    008:014 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's
                    mother laid, and sick of a fever.

    008:015 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
                    arose, and ministered unto them.

    008:016 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:

    008:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
                    prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
                    sicknesses.

    008:018 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
                    commandment to depart unto the other side.

    008:019 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will
                    follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

    008:020 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.

    008:021 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me
                    first to go and bury my father.

    008:022 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
                    their dead.

    008:023 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
                    him.

    008:024 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch
                    that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

    008:025 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord,
                    save us: we perish.

    008:026 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
                    faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and
                    there was a great calm.

    008:027 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
                    that even the winds and the sea obey him!

    008:028 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.

    008:029 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?

    008:030 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine
                    feeding.

    008:031 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
                    suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

    008:032 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.

    008:033 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.

    008:034 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when
                    they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of
                    their coasts.

    009:001 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his
                    own city.

    009:002 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.

    009:003 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
                    This man blasphemeth.

    009:004 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil
                    in your hearts?

    009:005 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or
                    to say, Arise, and walk?

    009:006 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.

    009:007 And he arose, and departed to his house.

    009:008 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified
                    God, which had given such power unto men.

    009:009 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
                    Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto
                    him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

    009:010 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 disciples.

    009:011 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples,
                    Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

    009:012 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be
                    whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

    009:013 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and
                    not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but
                    sinners to repentance.

    009:014 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and
                    the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

    009:015 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.

    009:016 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.

    009:017 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.

    009:018 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came 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.

    009:019 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.

    009:020 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
                    blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of
                    his garment:

    009:021 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I
                    shall be whole.

    009:022 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
                    Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.
                    And the woman was made whole from that hour.

    009:023 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
                    minstrels and the people making a noise,

    009:024 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but
                    sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

    009:025 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her
                    by the hand, and the maid arose.

    009:026 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.

    009:027 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
                    crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.

    009:028 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.

    009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be
                    it unto you.

    009:030 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them,
                    saying, See that no man know it.

    009:031 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in
                    all that country.

    009:032 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
                    possessed with a devil.

    009:033 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
                    multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

    009:034 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
                    prince of the devils.

    009:035 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.

    009:036 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion
                    on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
                    sheep having no shepherd.

    009:037 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is
                    plenteous, but the labourers are few;

    009:038 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send
                    forth labourers into his harvest.

    010:001 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave
                    them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to
                    heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

    010:002 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
                    Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the
                    son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

    010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
                    James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was
                    Thaddaeus;

    010:004 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
                    him.

    010:005 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:

    010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

    010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
                    hand.

    010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
                    devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

    010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

    010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
                    nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

    010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
                    in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

    010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

    010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
                    if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

    010:014 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.

    010:015 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.

    010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
                    ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

    010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
                    councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

    010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
                    sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

    010:019 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.

    010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
                    which speaketh in you.

    010:021 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.

    010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
                    that endureth to the end shall be saved.

    010:023 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
                    another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone
                    over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

    010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
                    his lord.

    010:025 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and
                    the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the
                    house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his
                    household?

    010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
                    shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

    010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
                    ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

    010:028 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
                    kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy
                    both soul and body in hell.

    010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
                    shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

    010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

    010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
                    sparrows.

    010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
                    confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

    010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
                    before my Father which is in heaven.

    010:034 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
                    send peace, but a sword.

    010:035 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and
                    the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law
                    against her mother in law.

    010:036 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

    010:037 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of
                    me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not
                    worthy of me.

    010:038 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
                    not worthy of me.

    010:039 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
                    life for my sake shall find it.

    010:040 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
                    receiveth him that sent me.

    010:041 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
                    receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous
                    man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
                    man's reward.

    010:042 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
                    ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple,
                    verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

    011:001 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.

    011:002 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he
                    sent two of his disciples,

    011:003 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look
                    for another?

    011:004 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again
                    those things which ye do hear and see:

    011:005 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 them.

    011:006 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

    011:007 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes
                    concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?
                    A reed shaken with the wind?

    011:008 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
                    raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings'
                    houses.

    011:009 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
                    you, and more than a prophet.

    011:010 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
                    messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
                    thee.

    011:011 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.

    011:012 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
                    heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

    011:013 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

    011:014 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to
                    come.

    011:015 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    011:016 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto
                    children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their
                    fellows,

    011:017 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we
                    have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.

    011:018 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He
                    hath a devil.

    011:019 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.

    011:020 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty
                    works were done, because they repented not:

    011:021 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! 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 sackcloth and
                    ashes.

    011:022 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
                    Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

    011:023 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
                    brought 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.

    011:024 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the
                    land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

    011:025 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
                    Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
                    from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

    011:026 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

    011:027 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
                    knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the
                    Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal
                    him.

    011:028 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I
                    will give you rest.

    011:029 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.

    011:030 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

    012:001 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.

    012:002 But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy
                    disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath
                    day.

    012:003 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when
                    he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

    012:004 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?

    012:005 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days
                    the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are
                    blameless?

    012:006 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the
                    temple.

    012:007 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and
                    not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

    012:008 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

    012:009 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:

    012:010 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.

    012:011 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?

    012:012 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is
                    lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

    012:013 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
                    stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the
                    other.

    012:014 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him,
                    how they might destroy him.

    012:015 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and
                    great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;

    012:016 And charged them that they should not make him known:

    012:017 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
                    prophet, saying,

    012:018 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.

    012:019 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his
                    voice in the streets.

    012:020 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he
                    not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

    012:021 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

    012:022 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.

    012:023 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son
                    of David?

    012:024 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth
                    not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
                    devils.

    012:025 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:

    012:026 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself;
                    how shall then his kingdom stand?

    012:027 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
                    children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

    012:028 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the
                    kingdom of God is come unto you.

    012:029 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.

    012:030 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth
                    not with me scattereth abroad.

    012:031 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.

    012:032 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall
                    be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy
                    Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,
                    neither in the world to come.

    012:033 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.

    012:034 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
                    things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
                    speaketh.

    012:035 A good 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.

    012:036 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
                    they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

    012:037 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
                    thou shalt be condemned.

    012:038 Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
                    saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.

    012:039 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
                    generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be
                    given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

    012:040 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.

    012:041 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.

    012:042 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.

    012:043 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
                    through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

    012:044 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came
                    out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and
                    garnished.

    012:045 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 first. Even
                    so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

    012:046 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his
                    brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

    012:047 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
                    stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

    012:048 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
                    mother? and who are my brethren?

    012:049 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
                    said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

    012:050 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
                    heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

    013:001 The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea
                    side.

    013:002 And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that
                    he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on
                    the shore.

    013:003 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
                    Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

    013:004 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the
                    fowls came and devoured them up:

    013:005 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
                    and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of
                    earth:

    013:006 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they
                    had no root, they withered away.

    013:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
                    choked them:

    013:008 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some
                    an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

    013:009 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    013:010 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou
                    unto them in parables?

    013:011 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.

    013:012 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.

    013:013 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see
                    not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

    013:014 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:

    013:015 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are
                    dull of hearing, 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.

    013:016 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
                    they hear.

    013:017 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.

    013:018 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

    013:019 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.

    013:020 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is
                    he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

    013:021 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for
                    when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word,
                    by and by he is offended.

    013:022 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 unfruitful.

    013:023 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.

    013:024 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of
                    heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his
                    field:

    013:025 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the
                    wheat, and went his way.

    013:026 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
                    then appeared the tares also.

    013:027 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
                    Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence
                    then hath it tares?

    013:028 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said
                    unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

    013:029 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root
                    up also the wheat with them.

    013:030 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of
                    harvest 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.

    013:031 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:

    013:032 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.

    013:033 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.

    013:034 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables;
                    and without a parable spake he not unto them:

    013:035 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 secret from the foundation of the world.

    013:036 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house:
                    and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the
                    parable of the tares of the field.

    013:037 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed
                    is the Son of man;

    013:038 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the
                    kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;

    013:039 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end
                    of the world; and the reapers are the angels.

    013:040 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
                    shall it be in the end of this world.

    013:041 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;

    013:042 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
                    wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    013:043 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
                    of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    013:044 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a
                    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.

    013:045 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,
                    seeking goodly pearls:

    013:046 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold
                    all that he had, and bought it.

    013:047 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast
                    into the sea, and gathered of every kind:

    013:048 Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and
                    gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

    013:049 So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come
                    forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

    013:050 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be
                    wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    013:051 Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things?
                    They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

    013:052 Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is
                    instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that
                    is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure
                    things new and old.

    013:053 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
                    parables, he departed thence.

    013:054 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in
                    their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said,
                    Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

    013:055 Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
                    Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
                    Judas?

    013:056 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath
                    this man all these things?

    013:057 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A
                    prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in
                    his own house.

    013:058 And he did not many mighty works there because of their
                    unbelief.

    014:001 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

    014:002 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
                    risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth
                    themselves in him.

    014:003 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in
                    prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

    014:004 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

    014:005 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
                    multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

    014:006 But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias
                    danced before them, and pleased Herod.

    014:007 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she
                    would ask.

    014:008 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me
                    here John Baptist's head in a charger.

    014:009 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and
                    them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given
                    her.

    014:010 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

    014:011 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
                    damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

    014:012 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it,
                    and went and told Jesus.

    014:013 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.

    014:014 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved
                    with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

    014:015 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying,
                    This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the
                    multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy
                    themselves victuals.

    014:016 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them
                    to eat.

    014:017 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two
                    fishes.

    014:018 He said, Bring them hither to me.

    014:019 And he commanded the multitude 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 disciples to the multitude.

    014:020 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
                    fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

    014:021 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside
                    women and children.

    014:022 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a
                    ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent
                    the multitudes away.

    014:023 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.

    014:024 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
                    waves: for the wind was contrary.

    014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,
                    walking on the sea.

    014:026 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
                    troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

    014:027 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
                    cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

    014:028 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me
                    come unto thee on the water.

    014:029 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
                    ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

    014:030 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
                    beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

    014:031 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught
                    him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore
                    didst thou doubt?

    014:032 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

    014:033 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
                    saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

    014:034 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
                    Gennesaret.

    014:035 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;

    014:036 And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
                    garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

    015:001 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
                    Jerusalem, saying,

    015:002 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
                    for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

    015:003 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress
                    the commandment of God by your tradition?

    015:004 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and,
                    He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

    015:005 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother,
                    It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;

    015:006 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
                    Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by
                    your tradition.

    015:007 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

    015:008 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
                    honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

    015:009 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the
                    commandments of men.

    015:010 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
                    understand:

    015:011 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that
                    which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

    015:012 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that
                    the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?

    015:013 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
                    Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

    015:014 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the
                    blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

    015:015 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this
                    parable.

    015:016 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?

    015:017 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the
                    mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

    015:018 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
                    from the heart; and they defile the man.

    015:019 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
                    adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

    015:020 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with
                    unwashen hands defileth not a man.

    015:021 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre
                    and Sidon.

    015:022 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts,
                    and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son
                    of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

    015:023 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
                    besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

    015:024 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
                    sheep of the house of Israel.

    015:025 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

    015:026 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
                    children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

    015:027 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
                    which fall from their masters' table.

    015:028 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy
                    faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was
                    made whole from that very hour.

    015:029 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of
                    Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

    015:030 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' feet; and he healed them:

    015:031 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.

    015:032 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have
                    compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now
                    three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them
                    away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

    015:033 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much
                    bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

    015:034 And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they
                    said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

    015:035 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

    015:036 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks,
                    and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples
                    to the multitude.

    015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
                    broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

    015:038 And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and
                    children.

    015:039 And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into
                    the coasts of Magdala.

    016:001 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting
                    desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.

    016:002 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It
                    will be fair weather: for the sky is red.

    016:003 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the
                    sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the
                    face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the
                    times?

    016:004 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and
                    there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the
                    prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

    016:005 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had
                    forgotten to take bread.

    016:006 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven
                    of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

    016:007 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
                    have taken no bread.

    016:008 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little
                    faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought
                    no bread?

    016:009 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of
                    the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

    016:010 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many
                    baskets ye took up?

    016:011 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you
                    concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
                    Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

    016:012 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the
                    leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of
                    the Sadducees.

    016:013 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked
                    his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
                    am?

    016:014 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some,
                    Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

    016:015 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

    016:016 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
                    Son of the living God.

    016:017 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon
                    Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
                    but my Father which is in heaven.

    016:018 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.

    016:019 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 whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
                    loosed in heaven.

    016:020 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
                    that he was Jesus the Christ.

    016:021 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.

    016:022 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it
                    far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

    016:023 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.

    016:024 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.

    016:025 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
                    will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

    016:026 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
                    and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange
                    for his soul?

    016:027 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.

    016:028 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.

    017:001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
                    brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,

    017:002 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
                    the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

    017:003 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking
                    with him.

    017:004 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for
                    us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three
                    tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for
                    Elias.

    017:005 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.

    017:006 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and
                    were sore afraid.

    017:007 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not
                    afraid.

    017:008 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save
                    Jesus only.

    017:009 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.

    017:010 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes
                    that Elias must first come?

    017:011 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first
                    come, and restore all things.

    017:012 But I say unto you, That Elias 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.

    017:013 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John
                    the Baptist.

    017:014 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a
                    certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

    017:015 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.

    017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure
                    him.

    017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
                    generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
                    suffer you? bring him hither to me.

    017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and
                    the child was cured from that very hour.

    017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could
                    not we cast him out?

    017:020 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.

    017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

    017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son
                    of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

    017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised
                    again. And they were exceeding sorry.

    017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
                    tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
                    pay tribute?

    017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
                    prevented 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?

    017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then
                    are the children free.

    017:027 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 them for me and thee.

    018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is
                    the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

    018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the
                    midst of them,

    018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
                    become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom
                    of heaven.

    018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
                    the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

    018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
                    receiveth me.

    018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe
                    in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
                    about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
                    sea.

    018:007 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be
                    that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
                    cometh!

    018:008 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.

    018:009 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.

    018:010 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.

    018:011 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

    018:012 How think ye? if a man have 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?

    018:013 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.

    018:014 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
                    that one of these little ones should perish.

    018:015 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.

    018:016 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 established.

    018:017 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.

    018:018 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall
                    be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth
                    shall be loosed in heaven.

    018:019 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth
                    as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done
                    for them of my Father which is in heaven.

    018:020 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there
                    am I in the midst of them.

    018:021 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
                    brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

    018:022 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times:
                    but, Until seventy times seven.

    018:023 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
                    king, which would take account of his servants.

    018:024 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
                    which owed him ten thousand talents.

    018:025 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to
                    be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and
                    payment to be made.

    018:026 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying,
                    Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

    018:027 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and
                    loosed him, and forgave him the debt.

    018:028 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 him by the throat, saying, Pay me that
                    thou owest.

    018:029 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him,
                    saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

    018:030 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he
                    should pay the debt.

    018:031 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very
                    sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.

    018:032 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O
                    thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because
                    thou desiredst me:

    018:033 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
                    fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?

    018:034 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors,
                    till he should pay all that was due unto him.

    018:035 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye
                    from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their
                    trespasses.

    019:001 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these
                    sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of
                    Judaea beyond Jordan;

    019:002 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

    019:003 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?

    019:004 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he
                    which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

    019:005 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?

    019:006 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
                    therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

    019:007 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a
                    writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

    019:008 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
                    hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the
                    beginning it was not so.

    019:009 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except
                    it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
                    adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit
                    adultery.

    019:010 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with
                    his wife, it is not good to marry.

    019:011 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying,
                    save they to whom it is given.

    019:012 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.

    019:013 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
                    should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples
                    rebuked them.

    019:014 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not,
                    to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

    019:015 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

    019:016 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
                    good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

    019:017 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none
                    good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life,
                    keep the commandments.

    019:018 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,

    019:019 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy
                    neighbour as thyself.

    019:020 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
                    from my youth up: what lack I yet?

    019:021 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.

    019:022 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
                    sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

    019:023 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
                    That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

    019:024 And again I say unto you, 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.

    019:025 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed,
                    saying, Who then can be saved?

    019:026 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is
                    impossible; but with God all things are possible.

    019:027 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
                    forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

    019:028 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.

    019:029 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
                    sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
                    for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall
                    inherit everlasting life.

    019:030 But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be
                    first.

    020:001 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.

    020:002 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day,
                    he sent them into his vineyard.

    020:003 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing
                    idle in the marketplace,

    020:004 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
                    whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.

    020:005 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
                    likewise.

    020:006 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?

    020:007 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.

    020:008 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.

    020:009 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour,
                    they received every man a penny.

    020:010 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have
                    received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.

    020:011 And when they had received it, they murmured against the
                    goodman of the house,

    020:012 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.

    020:013 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
                    wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

    020:014 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this
                    last, even as unto thee.

    020:015 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is
                    thine eye evil, because I am good?

    020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be
                    called, but few chosen.

    020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
                    apart in the way, and said unto them,

    020:018 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
                    betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they
                    shall condemn him to death,

    020:019 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge,
                    and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

    020:020 Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her
                    sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.

    020:021 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.

    020:022 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 him, We are able.

    020:023 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 my
                    Father.

    020:024 And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation
                    against the two brethren.

    020:025 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the
                    princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they
                    that are great exercise authority upon them.

    020:026 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great
                    among you, let him be your minister;

    020:027 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
                    servant:

    020:028 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
                    minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

    020:029 And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed
                    him.

    020:030 And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they
                    heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on
                    us, O Lord, thou son of David.

    020:031 And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their
                    peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O
                    Lord, thou son of David.

    020:032 And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye
                    that I shall do unto you?

    020:033 They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

    020:034 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and
                    immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

    021:001 And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
                    Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two
                    disciples,

    021:002 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
                    straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her:
                    loose them, and bring them unto me.

    021:003 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath
                    need of them; and straightway he will send them.

    021:004 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
                    by the prophet, saying,

    021:005 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
                    thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an
                    ass.

    021:006 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

    021:007 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
                    clothes, and they set him thereon.

    021:008 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way;
                    others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in
                    the way.

    021:009 And the multitudes that went before, 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.

    021:010 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved,
                    saying, Who is this?

    021:011 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth
                    of Galilee.

    021:012 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,

    021:013 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called
                    the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

    021:014 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he
                    healed them.

    021:015 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,

    021:016 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?

    021:017 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and
                    he lodged there.

    021:018 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.

    021:019 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.

    021:020 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How
                    soon is the fig tree withered away!

    021:021 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.

    021:022 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,
                    ye shall receive.

    021:023 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?

    021:024 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.

    021:025 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men?
                    And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
                    From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe
                    him?

    021:026 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold
                    John as a prophet.

    021:027 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.

    021:028 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to
                    the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.

    021:029 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented,
                    and went.

    021:030 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered
                    and said, I go, sir: and went not.

    021:031 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.

    021:032 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.

    021:033 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which
                    planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a
                    winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to
                    husbandmen, and went into a far country:

    021:034 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants
                    to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

    021:035 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed
                    another, and stoned another.

    021:036 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they
                    did unto them likewise.

    021:037 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will
                    reverence my son.

    021:038 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 inheritance.

    021:039 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and
                    slew him.

    021:040 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he
                    do unto those husbandmen?

    021:041 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men,
                    and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which
                    shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

    021:042 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 corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is
                    marvellous in our eyes?

    021:043 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken
                    from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits
                    thereof.

    021:044 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on
                    whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

    021:045 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
                    parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

    021:046 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
                    multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

    022:001 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and
                    said,

    022:002 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made
                    a marriage for his son,

    022:003 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to
                    the wedding: and they would not come.

    022:004 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which
                    are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my
                    fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the
                    marriage.

    022:005 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his
                    farm, another to his merchandise:

    022:006 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them
                    spitefully, and slew them.

    022:007 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent
                    forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up
                    their city.

    022:008 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they
                    which were bidden were not worthy.

    022:009 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
                    find, bid to the marriage.

    022:010 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 furnished with guests.

    022:011 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a
                    man which had not on a wedding garment:

    022:012 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
                    having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

    022:013 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot,
                    and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there
                    shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    022:014 For many are called, but few are chosen.

    022:015 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
                    entangle him in his talk.

    022:016 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians,
                    saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
                    way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou
                    regardest not the person of men.

    022:017 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give
                    tribute unto Caesar, or not?

    022:018 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye
                    me, ye hypocrites?

    022:019 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

    022:020 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
                    superscription?

    022:021 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render
                    therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto
                    God the things that are God's.

    022:022 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him,
                    and went their way.

    022:023 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there
                    is no resurrection, and asked him,

    022:024 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children,
                    his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
                    brother.

    022:025 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:

    022:026 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.

    022:027 And last of all the woman died also.

    022:028 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the
                    seven? for they all had her.

    022:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
                    scriptures, nor the power of God.

    022:030 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in
                    marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

    022:031 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read
                    that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,

    022:032 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.

    022:033 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his
                    doctrine.

    022:034 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees
                    to silence, they were gathered together.

    022:035 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question,
                    tempting him, and saying,

    022:036 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

    022:037 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.

    022:038 This is the first and great commandment.

    022:039 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
                    as thyself.

    022:040 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

    022:041 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,

    022:042 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say
                    unto him, The son of David.

    022:043 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
                    Lord, saying,

    022:044 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I
                    make thine enemies thy footstool?

    022:045 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

    022:046 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any
                    man from that day forth ask him any more questions.

    023:001 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

    023:002 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

    023:003 All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe
                    and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do
                    not.

    023:004 For 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.

    023:005 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make
                    broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their
                    garments,

    023:006 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in
                    the synagogues,

    023:007 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi,
                    Rabbi.

    023:008 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even
                    Christ; and all ye are brethren.

    023:009 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
                    Father, which is in heaven.

    023:010 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even
                    Christ.

    023:011 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

    023:012 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
                    shall humble himself shall be exalted.

    023:013 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.

    023:014 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.

    023:015 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
                    compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is
                    made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than
                    yourselves.

    023:016 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall
                    swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear
                    by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

    023:017 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the
                    temple that sanctifieth the gold?

    023:018 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but
                    whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.

    023:019 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the
                    altar that sanctifieth the gift?

    023:020 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and
                    by all things thereon.

    023:021 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by
                    him that dwelleth therein.

    023:022 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of
                    God, and by him that sitteth thereon.

    023:023 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay
                    tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the
                    weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:
                    these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
                    undone.

    023:024 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

    023:025 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make
                    clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within
                    they are full of extortion and excess.

    023:026 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the
                    cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

    023:027 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
                    like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
                    outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
                    uncleanness.

    023:028 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
                    within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

    023:029 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye
                    build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
                    the righteous,

    023:030 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would
                    not have been partakers with them in the blood of the
                    prophets.

    023:031 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
                    children of them which killed the prophets.

    023:032 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

    023:033 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
                    damnation of hell?

    023:034 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and
                    scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some
                    of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
                    them from city to city:

    023:035 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the
                    earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of
                    Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple
                    and the altar.

    023:036 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
                    generation.

    023:037 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
                    stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
                    gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
                    chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

    023:038 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

    023:039 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye
                    shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

    024:001 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
                    disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the
                    temple.

    024:002 And Jesus 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.

    024:003 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?

    024:004 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
                    deceive you.

    024:005 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
                    deceive many.

    024:006 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be
                    not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the
                    end is not yet.

    024:007 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
                    kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
                    earthquakes, in divers places.

    024:008 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    024:009 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.

    024:010 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
                    and shall hate one another.

    024:011 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

    024:012 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax
                    cold.

    024:013 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
                    saved.

    024:014 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
                    world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end
                    come.

    024:015 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
                    spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
                    (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

    024:016 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

    024:017 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
                    thing out of his house:

    024:018 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his
                    clothes.

    024:019 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
                    suck in those days!

    024:020 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on
                    the sabbath day:

    024:021 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
                    beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

    024:022 And except those days should be shortened, there should no
                    flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be
                    shortened.

    024:023 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or
                    there; believe it not.

    024:024 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and
                    shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were
                    possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

    024:025 Behold, I have told you before.

    024:026 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.

    024:027 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.

    024:028 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
                    gathered together.

    024:029 Immediately after the tribulation 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:

    024:030 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.

    024:031 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.

    024:032 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet
                    tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

    024:033 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that
                    it is near, even at the doors.

    024:034 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till
                    all these things be fulfilled.

    024:035 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass
                    away.

    024:036 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
                    heaven, but my Father only.

    024:037 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the
                    Son of man be.

    024:038 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating
                    and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
                    that Noe entered into the ark,

    024:039 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
                    shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

    024:040 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
                    the other left.

    024:041 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be
                    taken, and the other left.

    024:042 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
                    come.

    024:043 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.

    024:044 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think
                    not the Son of man cometh.

    024:045 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath
                    made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due
                    season?

    024:046 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
                    find so doing.

    024:047 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all
                    his goods.

    024:048 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord
                    delayeth his coming;

    024:049 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and
                    drink with the drunken;

    024:050 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,

    024:051 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with
                    the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    025:001 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
                    which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

    025:002 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

    025:003 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with
                    them:

    025:004 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

    025:005 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

    025:006 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom
                    cometh; go ye out to meet him.

    025:007 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

    025:008 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for
                    our lamps are gone out.

    025:009 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.

    025:010 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.

    025:011 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
                    open to us.

    025:012 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you
                    not.

    025:013 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
                    wherein the Son of man cometh.

    025:014 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.

    025:015 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
                    another one; to every man according to his several ability;
                    and straightway took his journey.

    025:016 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
                    with the same, and made them other five talents.

    025:017 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other
                    two.

    025:018 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and
                    hid his lord's money.

    025:019 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
                    reckoneth with them.

    025:020 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.

    025:021 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.

    025:022 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,
                    thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained
                    two other talents beside them.

    025:023 His lord said unto him, 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.

    025:024 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:

    025:025 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth:
                    lo, there thou hast that is thine.

    025:026 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:

    025:027 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
                    exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine
                    own with usury.

    025:028 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which
                    hath ten talents.

    025:029 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.

    025:030 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
                    there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

    025:031 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:

    025:032 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
                    separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his
                    sheep from the goats:

    025:033 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on
                    the left.

    025:034 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:

    025:035 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:

    025:036 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was
                    in prison, and ye came unto me.

    025:037 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
                    thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee
                    drink?

    025:038 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and
                    clothed thee?

    025:039 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

    025:040 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.

    025:041 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:

    025:042 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty,
                    and ye gave me no drink:

    025:043 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.

    025:044 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?

    025:045 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
                    Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did
                    it not to me.

    025:046 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the
                    righteous into life eternal.

    026:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
                    sayings, he said unto his disciples,

    026:002 Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and
                    the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

    026:003 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,

    026:004 And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill
                    him.

    026:005 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
                    among the people.

    026:006 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
                    leper,

    026:007 There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
                    precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at
                    meat.

    026:008 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying,
                    To what purpose is this waste?

    026:009 For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to
                    the poor.

    026:010 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye
                    the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.

    026:011 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
                    always.

    026:012 For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did
                    it for my burial.

    026:013 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever 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.

    026:014 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the
                    chief priests,

    026:015 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver
                    him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces
                    of silver.

    026:016 And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

    026:017 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?

    026:018 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him,
                    The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover
                    at thy house with my disciples.

    026:019 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they
                    made ready the passover.

    026:020 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

    026:021 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one
                    of you shall betray me.

    026:022 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them
                    to say unto him, Lord, is it I?

    026:023 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in
                    the dish, the same shall betray me.

    026:024 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.

    026:025 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is
                    it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

    026:026 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.

    026:027 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,
                    saying, Drink ye all of it;

    026:028 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for
                    many for the remission of sins.

    026:029 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.

    026:030 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
                    of Olives.

    026:031 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.

    026:032 But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

    026:033 Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be
                    offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

    026:034 Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night,
                    before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

    026:035 Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I
                    not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.

    026:036 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane,
                    and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray
                    yonder.

    026:037 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and
                    began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

    026:038 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even
                    unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

    026:039 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
                    prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup
                    pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

    026:040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and
                    saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

    026:041 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit
                    indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

    026:042 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my
                    Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink
                    it, thy will be done.

    026:043 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were
                    heavy.

    026:044 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third
                    time, saying the same words.

    026:045 Then cometh he to his disciples, 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.

    026:046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
                    me.

    026:047 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.

    026:048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
                    I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

    026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
                    kissed him.

    026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
                    came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.

    026:051 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.

    026:052 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.

    026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
                    shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

    026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
                    must be?

    026:055 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.

    026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
                    might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and
                    fled.

    026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
                    the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
                    assembled.

    026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
                    and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.

    026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
                    false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

    026:060 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
                    found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

    026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of
                    God, and to build it in three days.

    026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
                    nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

    026:063 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.

    026:064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou 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.

    026:065 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken
                    blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
                    ye have heard his blasphemy.

    026:066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

    026:067 Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others
                    smote him with the palms of their hands,

    026:068 Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote
                    thee?

    026:069 Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto
                    him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

    026:070 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou
                    sayest.

    026:071 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.

    026:072 And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

    026:073 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.

    026:074 Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the
                    man. And immediately the cock crew.

    026:075 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.

    027:001 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
                    the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

    027:002 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
                    him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

    027:003 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
                    condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty
                    pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

    027:004 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
                    blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

    027:005 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
                    departed, and went and hanged himself.

    027:006 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.

    027:007 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
                    field, to bury strangers in.

    027:008 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this
                    day.

    027:009 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, whom they of the children of
                    Israel did value;

    027:010 And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed
                    me.

    027:011 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.

    027:012 And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he
                    answered nothing.

    027:013 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things
                    they witness against thee?

    027:014 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
                    governor marvelled greatly.

    027:015 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
                    people a prisoner, whom they would.

    027:016 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.

    027:017 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?

    027:018 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.

    027:019 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.

    027:020 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that
                    they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

    027:021 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain
                    will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.

    027:022 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which
                    is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.

    027:023 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they
                    cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.

    027:024 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather
                    a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before
                    the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just
                    person: see ye to it.

    027:025 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
                    and on our children.

    027:026 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged
                    Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.

    027:027 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
                    hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.

    027:028 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.

    027:029 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!

    027:030 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on
                    the head.

    027:031 And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
                    from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to
                    crucify him.

    027:032 And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
                    name: him they compelled to bear his cross.

    027:033 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is
                    to say, a place of a skull,

    027:034 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he
                    had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

    027:035 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots:
                    that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,
                    They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did
                    they cast lots.

    027:036 And sitting down they watched him there;

    027:037 And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
                    THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    027:038 Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
                    right hand, and another on the left.

    027:039 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

    027:040 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it
                    in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come
                    down from the cross.

    027:041 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes
                    and elders, said,

    027:042 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of
                    Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will
                    believe him.

    027:043 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have
                    him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

    027:044 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same
                    in his teeth.

    027:045 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land
                    unto the ninth hour.

    027:046 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
                    saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my
                    God, why hast thou forsaken me?

    027:047 Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said,
                    This man calleth for Elias.

    027:048 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.

    027:049 The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to
                    save him.

    027:050 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up
                    the ghost.

    027:051 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;

    027:052 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
                    which slept arose,

    027:053 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went
                    into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

    027:054 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.

    027:055 And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed
                    Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:

    027:056 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James
                    and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

    027:057 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
                    named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

    027:058 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
                    commanded the body to be delivered.

    027:059 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean
                    linen cloth,

    027:060 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 departed.

    027:061 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over
                    against the sepulchre.

    027:062 Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation,
                    the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,

    027:063 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was
                    yet alive, After three days I will rise again.

    027:064 Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the
                    third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him
                    away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so
                    the last error shall be worse than the first.

    027:065 Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it
                    as sure as ye can.

    027:066 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone,
                    and setting a watch.

    028:001 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
                    first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary
                    to see the sepulchre.

    028:002 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.

    028:003 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as
                    snow:

    028:004 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead
                    men.

    028:005 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye:
                    for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

    028:006 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
                    place where the Lord lay.

    028:007 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 him: lo, I have told you.

    028:008 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
                    great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

    028:009 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
                    them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the
                    feet, and worshipped him.

    028:010 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren
                    that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

    028:011 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.

    028:012 And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken
                    counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,

    028:013 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him
                    away while we slept.

    028:014 And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him,
                    and secure you.

    028:015 So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this
                    saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

    028:016 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
                    mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

    028:017 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

    028:018 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given
                    unto me in heaven and in earth.

    028:019 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
                    name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

    028:020 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
                    commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end
                    of the world. Amen.

    Book 41 Mark



    001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

    001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger
                    before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

    001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
                    of the Lord, make his paths straight.

    001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
                    repentance for the remission of sins.

    001:005 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they
                    of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of
                    Jordan, confessing their sins.

    001:006 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a
                    skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

    001:007 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after
                    me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down
                    and unloose.

    001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize
                    you with the Holy Ghost.

    001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
                    Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

    001:010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens
                    opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

    001:011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my
                    beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

    001:012 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

    001:013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of
                    Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered
                    unto him.

    001:014 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into
                    Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

    001:015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is
                    at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

    001:016 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.

    001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make
                    you to become fishers of men.

    001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

    001:019 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.

    001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left their father
                    Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after
                    him.

    001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath
                    day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

    001:022 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them
                    as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

    001:023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
                    and he cried out,

    001:024 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
                    of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou
                    art, the Holy One of God.

    001:025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
                    him.

    001:026 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a
                    loud voice, he came out of him.

    001:027 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among
                    themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is
                    this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean
                    spirits, and they do obey him.

    001:028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the
                    region round about Galilee.

    001:029 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they
                    entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and
                    John.

    001:030 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they
                    tell him of her.

    001:031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and
                    immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

    001:032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all
                    that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

    001:033 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

    001:034 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast
                    out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because
                    they knew him.

    001:035 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he
                    went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there
                    prayed.

    001:036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

    001:037 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek
                    for thee.

    001:038 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I
                    may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

    001:039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee,
                    and cast out devils.

    001:040 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling
                    down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst
                    make me clean.

    001:041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and
                    touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

    001:042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed
                    from him, and he was cleansed.

    001:043 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

    001:044 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go
                    thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy
                    cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony
                    unto them.

    001:045 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze
                    abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly
                    enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and
                    they came to him from every quarter.

    002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it
                    was noised that he was in the house.

    002:002 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that
                    there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about
                    the door: and he preached the word unto them.

    002:003 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which
                    was borne of four.

    002:004 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they
                    uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it
                    up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

    002:005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the
                    palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

    002:006 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and
                    reasoning in their hearts,

    002:007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins
                    but God only?

    002:008 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they
                    so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
                    ye these things in your hearts?

    002:009 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins
                    be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
                    walk?

    002:010 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
                    to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

    002:011 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way
                    into thine house.

    002:012 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth
                    before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and
                    glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

    002:013 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude
                    resorted unto him, and he taught them.

    002:014 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting
                    at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he
                    arose and followed him.

    002:015 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.

    002:016 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
                    and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he
                    eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

    002:017 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole
                    have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came
                    not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

    002:018 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast:
                    and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John
                    and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

    002:019 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
                    fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have
                    the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

    002:020 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
                    away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

    002:021 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment:
                    else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old,
                    and the rent is made worse.

    002:022 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new
                    wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the
                    bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new
                    bottles.

    002:023 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on
                    the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to
                    pluck the ears of corn.

    002:024 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the
                    sabbath day that which is not lawful?

    002:025 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when
                    he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with
                    him?

    002:026 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the
                    high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to
                    eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with
                    him?

    002:027 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not
                    man for the sabbath:

    002:028 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

    003:001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man
                    there which had a withered hand.

    003:002 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath
                    day; that they might accuse him.

    003:003 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand
                    forth.

    003:004 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
                    days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held
                    their peace.

    003:005 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being
                    grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the
                    man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and
                    his hand was restored whole as the other.

    003:006 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel
                    with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

    003:007 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and
                    a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

    003:008 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan;
                    and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they
                    had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

    003:009 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait
                    on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

    003:010 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him
                    for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

    003:011 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him,
                    and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

    003:012 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him
                    known.

    003:013 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he
                    would: and they came unto him.

    003:014 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that
                    he might send them forth to preach,

    003:015 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

    003:016 And Simon he surnamed Peter;

    003:017 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James;
                    and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

    003:018 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and
                    Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and
                    Simon the Canaanite,

    003:019 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went
                    into an house.

    003:020 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could
                    not so much as eat bread.

    003:021 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on
                    him: for they said, He is beside himself.

    003:022 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
                    Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out
                    devils.

    003:023 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables,
                    How can Satan cast out Satan?

    003:024 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
                    cannot stand.

    003:025 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot
                    stand.

    003:026 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he
                    cannot stand, but hath an end.

    003:027 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
                    goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he
                    will spoil his house.

    003:028 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the
                    sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
                    blaspheme:

    003:029 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
                    forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

    003:030 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

    003:031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing
                    without, sent unto him, calling him.

    003:032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
                    Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

    003:033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
                    brethren?

    003:034 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and
                    said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

    003:035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my
                    brother, and my sister, and mother.

    004:001 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 multitude was by the
                    sea on the land.

    004:002 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them
                    in his doctrine,

    004:003 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

    004:004 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.

    004:005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth;
                    and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of
                    earth:

    004:006 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had
                    no root, it withered away.

    004:007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked
                    it, and it yielded no fruit.

    004:008 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang
                    up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some
                    sixty, and some an hundred.

    004:009 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him
                    hear.

    004:010 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
                    twelve asked of him the parable.

    004:011 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
                    mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without,
                    all these things are done in parables:

    004:012 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 should be forgiven them.

    004:013 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
                    will ye know all parables?

    004:014 The sower soweth the word.

    004:015 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.

    004:016 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;
                    who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it
                    with gladness;

    004:017 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:
                    afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the
                    word's sake, immediately they are offended.

    004:018 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear
                    the word,

    004:019 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.

    004:020 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.

    004:021 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?

    004:022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
                    neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come
                    abroad.

    004:023 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    004:024 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
                    measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you
                    that hear shall more be given.

    004:025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,
                    from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

    004:026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
                    seed into the ground;

    004:027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should
                    spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

    004:028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the
                    blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

    004:029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
                    the sickle, because the harvest is come.

    004:030 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or
                    with what comparison shall we compare it?

    004:031 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:

    004:032 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.

    004:033 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as
                    they were able to hear it.

    004:034 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they
                    were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

    004:035 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
                    Let us pass over unto the other side.

    004:036 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.

    004:037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into
                    the ship, so that it was now full.

    004:038 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
                    and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not
                    that we perish?

    004:039 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.

    004:040 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that
                    ye have no faith?

    004:041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What
                    manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey
                    him?

    005:001 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the
                    country of the Gadarenes.

    005:002 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met
                    him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

    005:003 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind
                    him, no, not with chains:

    005:004 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains,
                    and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the
                    fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

    005:005 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the
                    tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

    005:006 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

    005:007 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.

    005:008 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean
                    spirit.

    005:009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying,
                    My name is Legion: for we are many.

    005:010 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out
                    of the country.

    005:011 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of
                    swine feeding.

    005:012 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
                    swine, that we may enter into them.

    005:013 And forthwith Jesus 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.

    005:014 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.

    005:015 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.

    005:016 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was
                    possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

    005:017 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

    005:018 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed
                    with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

    005:019 Howbeit Jesus 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.

    005:020 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great
                    things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

    005:021 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.

    005:022 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue,
                    Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

    005:023 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.

    005:024 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and
                    thronged him.

    005:025 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

    005:026 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent
                    all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew
                    worse,

    005:027 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
                    touched his garment.

    005:028 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
                    whole.

    005:029 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and
                    she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

    005:030 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone
                    out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who
                    touched my clothes?

    005:031 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
                    thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

    005:032 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

    005:033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in
                    her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the
                    truth.

    005:034 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
                    whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

    005:035 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
                    synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead:
                    why troublest thou the Master any further?

    005:036 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto
                    the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

    005:037 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James,
                    and John the brother of James.

    005:038 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and
                    seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

    005:039 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this
                    ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

    005:040 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.

    005:041 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
                    cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,
                    arise.

    005:042 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of
                    the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
                    astonishment.

    005:043 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and
                    commanded that something should be given her to eat.

    006:001 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country;
                    and his disciples follow him.

    006:002 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
                    synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From
                    whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this
                    which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are
                    wrought by his hands?

    006:003 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.

    006:004 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.

    006:005 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his
                    hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

    006:006 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round
                    about the villages, teaching.

    006:007 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them
                    forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean
                    spirits;

    006:008 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their
                    journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in
                    their purse:

    006:009 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

    006:010 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an
                    house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

    006:011 And whosoever 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 tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment,
                    than for that city.

    006:012 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

    006:013 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that
                    were sick, and healed them.

    006:014 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:)
                    and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead,
                    and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

    006:015 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a
                    prophet, or as one of the prophets.

    006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I
                    beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

    006:017 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.

    006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to
                    have thy brother's wife.

    006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have
                    killed him; but she could not:

    006:020 For Herod feared John, knowing 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.

    006:021 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
                    made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates
                    of Galilee;

    006:022 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and
                    danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king
                    said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I
                    will give it thee.

    006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
                    give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

    006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I
                    ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

    006:025 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.

    006:026 And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and
                    for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

    006:027 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded
                    his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
                    prison,

    006:028 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel:
                    and the damsel gave it to her mother.

    006:029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his
                    corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

    006:030 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and
                    told him all things, both what they had done, and what they
                    had taught.

    006:031 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.

    006:032 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

    006:033 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran
                    afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came
                    together unto him.

    006:034 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved
                    with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
                    having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

    006:035 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:

    006:036 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about,
                    and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have
                    nothing to eat.

    006:037 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they
                    say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of
                    bread, and give them to eat?

    006:038 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And
                    when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

    006:039 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon
                    the green grass.

    006:040 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

    006:041 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 disciples to set before them; and the two
                    fishes divided he among them all.

    006:042 And they did all eat, and were filled.

    006:043 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of
                    the fishes.

    006:044 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand
                    men.

    006:045 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.

    006:046 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
                    pray.

    006:047 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
                    and he alone on the land.

    006:048 And he saw them toiling 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.

    006:049 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it
                    had been a spirit, and cried out:

    006:050 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he
                    talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is
                    I; be not afraid.

    006:051 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased:
                    and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and
                    wondered.

    006:052 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their
                    heart was hardened.

    006:053 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of
                    Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

    006:054 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew
                    him,

    006:055 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to
                    carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he
                    was.

    006:056 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
                    country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him
                    that they might touch if it were but the border of his
                    garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

    007:001 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the
                    scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

    007:002 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with
                    defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
                    fault.

    007:003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their
                    hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

    007:004 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.

    007:005 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
                    disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
                    bread with unwashen hands?

    007:006 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.

    007:007 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the
                    commandments of men.

    007:008 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition
                    of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such
                    like things ye do.

    007:009 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of
                    God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

    007:010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso
                    curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

    007:011 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is
                    Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be
                    profited by me; he shall be free.

    007:012 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his
                    mother;

    007:013 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
                    which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

    007:014 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto
                    them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

    007:015 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him
                    can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those
                    are they that defile the man.

    007:016 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    007:017 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his
                    disciples asked him concerning the parable.

    007:018 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;

    007:019 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly,
                    and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

    007:020 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth
                    the man.

    007:021 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
                    thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

    007:022 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
                    evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

    007:023 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

    007:024 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.

    007:025 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean
                    spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

    007:026 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she
                    besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her
                    daughter.

    007:027 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for
                    it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it
                    unto the dogs.

    007:028 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs
                    under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

    007:029 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is
                    gone out of thy daughter.

    007:030 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone
                    out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

    007:031 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he
                    came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts
                    of Decapolis.

    007:032 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an
                    impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand
                    upon him.

    007:033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers
                    into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

    007:034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
                    Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

    007:035 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his
                    tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

    007:036 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;

    007:037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all
                    things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
                    speak.

    008:001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having
                    nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith
                    unto them,

    008:002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been
                    with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

    008:003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will
                    faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

    008:004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy
                    these men with bread here in the wilderness?

    008:005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,
                    Seven.

    008:006 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.

    008:007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded
                    to set them also before them.

    008:008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
                    broken meat that was left seven baskets.

    008:009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent
                    them away.

    008:010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and
                    came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

    008:011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him,
                    seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

    008:012 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.

    008:013 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to
                    the other side.

    008:014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had
                    they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

    008:015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven
                    of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

    008:016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we
                    have no bread.

    008:017 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye,
                    because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither
                    understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

    008:018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do
                    ye not remember?

    008:019 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many
                    baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him,
                    Twelve.

    008:020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full
                    of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

    008:021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

    008:022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto
                    him, and besought him to touch him.

    008:023 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him 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.

    008:024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

    008:025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him
                    look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

    008:026 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
                    town, nor tell it to any in the town.

    008:027 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of
                    Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples,
                    saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

    008:028 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
                    others, One of the prophets.

    008:029 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
                    answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

    008:030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

    008:031 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
                    many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief
                    priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise
                    again.

    008:032 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began
                    to rebuke him.

    008:033 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
                    rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou
                    savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that
                    be of men.

    008:034 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
                    also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
                    deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

    008:035 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
                    shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same
                    shall save it.

    008:036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
                    world, and lose his own soul?

    008:037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

    008:038 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 angels.

    009:001 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 come with power.

    009:002 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and
                    John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by
                    themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

    009:003 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as
                    no fuller on earth can white them.

    009:004 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were
                    talking with Jesus.

    009:005 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for
                    us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for
                    thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

    009:006 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

    009:007 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came
                    out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

    009:008 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no
                    man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

    009:009 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.

    009:010 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one
                    with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

    009:011 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias
                    must first come?

    009:012 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.

    009:013 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.

    009:014 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude
                    about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

    009:015 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were
                    greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

    009:016 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

    009:017 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have
                    brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

    009:018 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth,
                    and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to
                    thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could
                    not.

    009:019 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
                    shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him
                    unto me.

    009:020 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
                    straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground,
                    and wallowed foaming.

    009:021 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came
                    unto him? And he said, Of a child.

    009:022 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.

    009:023 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are
                    possible to him that believeth.

    009:024 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said
                    with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

    009:025 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 more into
                    him.

    009:026 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.

    009:027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he
                    arose.

    009:028 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
                    privately, Why could not we cast him out?

    009:029 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,
                    but by prayer and fasting.

    009:030 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he
                    would not that any man should know it.

    009:031 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.

    009:032 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask
                    him.

    009:033 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked
                    them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the
                    way?

    009:034 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed
                    among themselves, who should be the greatest.

    009:035 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
                    If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all,
                    and servant of all.

    009:036 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and
                    when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

    009:037 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.

    009:038 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out
                    devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad
                    him, because he followeth not us.

    009:039 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which
                    shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of
                    me.

    009:040 For he that is not against us is on our part.

    009:041 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my
                    name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he
                    shall not lose his reward.

    009:042 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.

    009:043 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:

    009:044 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

    009:045 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:

    009:046 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

    009:047 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 be cast into hell fire:

    009:048 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

    009:049 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
                    shall be salted with salt.

    009:050 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
                    wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have
                    peace one with another.

    010:001 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
                    by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him
                    again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

    010:002 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for
                    a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

    010:003 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
                    you?

    010:004 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement,
                    and to put her away.

    010:005 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of
                    your heart he wrote you this precept.

    010:006 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
                    female.

    010:007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
                    cleave to his wife;

    010:008 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more
                    twain, but one flesh.

    010:009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
                    asunder.

    010:010 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same
                    matter.

    010:011 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and
                    marry another, committeth adultery against her.

    010:012 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
                    another, she committeth adultery.

    010:013 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch
                    them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

    010:014 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto
                    them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid
                    them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

    010:015 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
                    of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

    010:016 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and
                    blessed them.

    010:017 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?

    010:018 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is
                    none good but one, that is, God.

    010:019 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
                    kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not,
                    Honour thy father and mother.

    010:020 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
                    observed from my youth.

    010:021 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
                    thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and
                    give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and
                    come, take up the cross, and follow me.

    010:022 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he
                    had great possessions.

    010:023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples,
                    How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom
                    of God!

    010:024 And the disciples were astonished 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!

    010:025 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.

    010:026 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among
                    themselves, Who then can be saved?

    010:027 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible,
                    but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

    010:028 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and
                    have followed thee.

    010:029 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is
                    no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or
                    father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
                    sake, and the gospel's,

    010:030 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,
                    and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and
                    lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal
                    life.

    010:031 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

    010:032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
                    before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they
                    were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell
                    them what things should happen unto him,

    010:033 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
                    shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the
                    scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall
                    deliver him to the Gentiles:

    010:034 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit
                    upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise
                    again.

    010:035 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,
                    saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us
                    whatsoever we shall desire.

    010:036 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

    010:037 They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy
                    right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

    010:038 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye
                    drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the
                    baptism that I am baptized with?

    010:039 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye
                    shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the
                    baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

    010:040 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to
                    give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.

    010:041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased
                    with James and John.

    010:042 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know
                    that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
                    exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise
                    authority upon them.

    010:043 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great
                    among you, shall be your minister:

    010:044 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of
                    all.

    010:045 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
                    minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

    010:046 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with
                    his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus,
                    the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

    010:047 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.

    010:048 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.

    010:049 And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And
                    they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort,
                    rise; he calleth thee.

    010:050 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

    010:051 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I
                    should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I
                    might receive my sight.

    010:052 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee
                    whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed
                    Jesus in the way.

    011:001 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
                    Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his
                    disciples,

    011:002 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against
                    you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a
                    colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

    011:003 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the
                    Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him
                    hither.

    011:004 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door
                    without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

    011:005 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do
                    ye, loosing the colt?

    011:006 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they
                    let them go.

    011:007 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on
                    him; and he sat upon him.

    011:008 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
                    branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

    011:009 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried,
                    saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
                    Lord:

    011:010 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the
                    name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

    011:011 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and
                    when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the
                    eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

    011:012 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was
                    hungry:

    011:013 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
                    haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it,
                    he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

    011:014 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
                    hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

    011:015 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple,
                    and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple,
                    and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats
                    of them that sold doves;

    011:016 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel
                    through the temple.

    011:017 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house
                    shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye
                    have made it a den of thieves.

    011:018 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how
                    they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the
                    people was astonished at his doctrine.

    011:019 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

    011:020 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree
                    dried up from the roots.

    011:021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master,
                    behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

    011:022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

    011:023 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
                    mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
                    shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those
                    things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have
                    whatsoever he saith.

    011:024 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when
                    ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

    011:025 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against
                    any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you
                    your trespasses.

    011:026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in
                    heaven forgive your trespasses.

    011:027 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the
                    temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes,
                    and the elders,

    011:028 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?
                    and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

    011:029 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you
                    one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what
                    authority I do these things.

    011:030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

    011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
                    From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

    011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all
                    men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

    011:033 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And
                    Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what
                    authority I do these things.

    012:001 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.

    012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he
                    might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
                    vineyard.

    012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

    012:004 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they
                    cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away
                    shamefully handled.

    012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many
                    others; beating some, and killing some.

    012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him
                    also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

    012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;
                    come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

    012:008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the
                    vineyard.

    012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come
                    and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto
                    others.

    012:010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the
                    builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

    012:011 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    012:012 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for
                    they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and
                    they left him, and went their way.

    012:013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
                    Herodians, to catch him in his words.

    012:014 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know
                    that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest
                    not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth:
                    Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

    012:015 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their
                    hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,
                    that I may see it.

    012:016 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this
                    image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

    012:017 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the
                    things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are
                    God's. And they marvelled at him.

    012:018 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
                    resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

    012:019 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave
                    his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother
                    should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

    012:020 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and
                    dying left no seed.

    012:021 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed:
                    and the third likewise.

    012:022 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman
                    died also.

    012:023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose
                    wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

    012:024 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,
                    because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

    012:025 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.

    012:026 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in
                    the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying,
                    I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of
                    Jacob?

    012:027 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
                    therefore do greatly err.

    012:028 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
                    together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked
                    him, Which is the first commandment of all?

    012:029 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is,
                    Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

    012:030 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
                    with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy
                    strength: this is the first commandment.

    012:031 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy
                    neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
                    than these.

    012:032 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
                    truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

    012:033 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
                    understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the
                    strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than
                    all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

    012:034 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto
                    him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man
                    after that durst ask him any question.

    012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
                    How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

    012:036 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my
                    Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy
                    footstool.

    012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he
                    then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

    012:038 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes,
                    which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the
                    marketplaces,

    012:039 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms
                    at feasts:

    012:040 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
                    prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

    012:041 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the
                    people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich
                    cast in much.

    012:042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two
                    mites, which make a farthing.

    012:043 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,
                    Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in,
                    than all they which have cast into the treasury:

    012:044 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her
                    want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

    013:001 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith
                    unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings
                    are here!

    013:002 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great
                    buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another,
                    that shall not be thrown down.

    013:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the
                    temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him
                    privately,

    013:004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the
                    sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

    013:005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man
                    deceive you:

    013:006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
                    deceive many.

    013:007 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not
                    troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not
                    be yet.

    013:008 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
                    kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and
                    there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings
                    of sorrows.

    013:009 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
                    councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye
                    shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a
                    testimony against them.

    013:010 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

    013:011 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no
                    thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
                    premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour,
                    that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy
                    Ghost.

    013:012 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the
                    father the son; and children shall rise up against their
                    parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

    013:013 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
                    that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

    013:014 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
                    by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him
                    that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee
                    to the mountains:

    013:015 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the
                    house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his
                    house:

    013:016 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to
                    take up his garment.

    013:017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give
                    suck in those days!

    013:018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

    013:019 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from
                    the beginning of the creation which God created unto this
                    time, neither shall be.

    013:020 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh
                    should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath
                    chosen, he hath shortened the days.

    013:021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or,
                    lo, he is there; believe him not:

    013:022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall
                    shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even
                    the elect.

    013:023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

    013:024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
                    darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

    013:025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
                    heaven shall be shaken.

    013:026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
                    with great power and glory.

    013:027 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together
                    his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the
                    earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

    013:028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet
                    tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

    013:029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to
                    pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

    013:030 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
                    till all these things be done.

    013:031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
                    away.

    013:032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the
                    angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

    013:033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time
                    is.

    013:034 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left
                    his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every
                    man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

    013:035 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the
                    house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
                    or in the morning:

    013:036 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

    013:037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

    014:001 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of
                    unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought
                    how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

    014:002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar
                    of the people.

    014:003 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he
                    sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of
                    ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box,
                    and poured it on his head.

    014:004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
                    and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

    014:005 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence,
                    and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against
                    her.

    014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath
                    wrought a good work on me.

    014:007 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will
                    ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

    014:008 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint
                    my body to the burying.

    014:009 Verily I say unto you, 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.

    014:010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief
                    priests, to betray him unto them.

    014:011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give
                    him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

    014:012 And the first day of unleavened 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?

    014:013 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.

    014:014 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the
                    house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I
                    shall eat the passover with my disciples?

    014:015 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and
                    prepared: there make ready for us.

    014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and
                    found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
                    passover.

    014:017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

    014:018 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto
                    you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

    014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by
                    one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

    014:020 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve,
                    that dippeth with me in the dish.

    014:021 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe
                    to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it
                    for that man if he had never been born.

    014:022 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.

    014:023 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it
                    to them: and they all drank of it.

    014:024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament,
                    which is shed for many.

    014:025 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.

    014:026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
                    of Olives.

    014:027 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.

    014:028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

    014:029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet
                    will not I.

    014:030 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.

    014:031 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.

    014:032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he
                    saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

    014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to
                    be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

    014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
                    death: tarry ye here, and watch.

    014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and
                    prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from
                    him.

    014:036 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.

    014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto
                    Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

    014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit
                    truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

    014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

    014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their
                    eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

    014:041 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.

    014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

    014:043 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
                    twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
                    from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

    014:044 And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying,
                    Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead
                    him away safely.

    014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and
                    saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

    014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

    014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
                    servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

    014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as
                    against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

    014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
                    not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

    014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.

    014:051 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen
                    cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold
                    on him:

    014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

    014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
                    assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
                    scribes.

    014:054 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the
                    high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself
                    at the fire.

    014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
                    against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

    014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness
                    agreed not together.

    014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
                    saying,

    014:058 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with
                    hands, and within three days I will build another made without
                    hands.

    014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.

    014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
                    saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
                    against thee?

    014:061 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high
                    priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the
                    Son of the Blessed?

    014:062 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
                    on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
                    heaven.

    014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we
                    any further witnesses?

    014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
                    condemned him to be guilty of death.

    014:065 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
                    buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants
                    did strike him with the palms of their hands.

    014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of
                    the maids of the high priest:

    014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,
                    and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

    014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what
                    thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock
                    crew.

    014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood
                    by, This is one of them.

    014:070 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 Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

    014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this
                    man of whom ye speak.

    014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
                    the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice,
                    thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he
                    wept.

    015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
                    consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
                    council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered
                    him to Pilate.

    015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
                    answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

    015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
                    answered nothing.

    015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
                    behold how many things they witness against thee.

    015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

    015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner,
                    whomsoever they desired.

    015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them
                    that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder
                    in the insurrection.

    015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he
                    had ever done unto them.

    015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
                    you the King of the Jews?

    015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

    015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
                    release Barabbas unto them.

    015:012 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
                    then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the
                    Jews?

    015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

    015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
                    they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

    015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released
                    Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
                    him, to be crucified.

    015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
                    Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

    015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
                    thorns, and put it about his head,

    015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

    015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
                    him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

    015:020 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.

    015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
                    out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear
                    his cross.

    015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
                    interpreted, The place of a skull.

    015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
                    received it not.

    015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,
                    casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

    015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

    015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE
                    KING OF THE JEWS.

    015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
                    hand, and the other on his left.

    015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
                    numbered with the transgressors.

    015:029 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,

    015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

    015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
                    with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

    015:032 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.

    015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
                    whole land until the ninth hour.

    015:034 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?

    015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said,
                    Behold, he calleth Elias.

    015:036 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on
                    a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
                    whether Elias will come to take him down.

    015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

    015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
                    the bottom.

    015:039 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that
                    he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this
                    man was the Son of God.

    015:040 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
                    Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses,
                    and Salome;

    015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
                    ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with
                    him unto Jerusalem.

    015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was the
                    preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

    015:043 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also
                    waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto
                    Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

    015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto
                    him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while
                    dead.

    015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to
                    Joseph.

    015:046 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.

    015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where
                    he was laid.

    016:001 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.

    016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they
                    came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

    016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
                    stone from the door of the sepulchre?

    016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:
                    for it was very great.

    016:005 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting
                    on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they
                    were affrighted.

    016:006 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
                    Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
                    behold the place where they laid him.

    016:007 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
                    before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said
                    unto you.

    016:008 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.

    016:009 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.

    016:010 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they
                    mourned and wept.

    016:011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been
                    seen of her, believed not.

    016:012 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
                    they walked, and went into the country.

    016:013 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed
                    they them.

    016:014 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.

    016:015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
                    the gospel to every creature.

    016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
                    believeth not shall be damned.

    016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
                    shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

    016:018 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 recover.

    016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received
                    up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

    016:020 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
                    working with them, and confirming the word with signs
                    following. Amen.

    Book 42 Luke



    001:001 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
                    declaration of those things which are most surely believed
                    among us,

    001:002 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
                    were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

    001:003 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of
                    all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order,
                    most excellent Theophilus,

    001:004 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
                    thou hast been instructed.

    001:005 THERE was in the days of 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.

    001:006 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
                    commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

    001:007 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and
                    they both were now well stricken in years.

    001:008 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's
                    office before God in the order of his course,

    001:009 According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to
                    burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.

    001:010 And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at
                    the time of incense.

    001:011 And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
                    the right side of the altar of incense.

    001:012 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell
                    upon him.

    001:013 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.

    001:014 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
                    at his birth.

    001:015 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.

    001:016 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
                    their God.

    001:017 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
                    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.

    001:018 And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
                    for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.

    001:019 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
                    stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee,
                    and to shew thee these glad tidings.

    001:020 And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
                    the day that these things shall be performed, because thou
                    believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their
                    season.

    001:021 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he
                    tarried so long in the temple.

    001:022 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.

    001:023 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
                    ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.

    001:024 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
                    herself five months, saying,

    001:025 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
                    on me, to take away my reproach among men.

    001:026 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
                    unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

    001:027 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
                    house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

    001:028 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art
                    highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
                    women.

    001:029 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast
                    in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.

    001:030 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
                    found favour with God.

    001:031 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
                    a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

    001:032 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:

    001:033 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
                    his kingdom there shall be no end.

    001:034 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
                    know not a man?

    001:035 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.

    001:036 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
                    son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who
                    was called barren.

    001:037 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

    001:038 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
                    according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.

    001:039 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
                    with haste, into a city of Juda;

    001:040 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted
                    Elisabeth.

    001:041 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:

    001:042 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art
                    thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

    001:043 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
                    come to me?

    001:044 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
                    mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

    001:045 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a
                    performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

    001:046 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

    001:047 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

    001:048 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
                    behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    001:049 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy
                    is his name.

    001:050 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to
                    generation.

    001:051 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the
                    proud in the imagination of their hearts.

    001:052 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them
                    of low degree.

    001:053 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he
                    hath sent empty away.

    001:054 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his
                    mercy;

    001:055 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
                    ever.

    001:056 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to
                    her own house.

    001:057 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
                    and she brought forth a son.

    001:058 And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
                    shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

    001:059 And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
                    circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the
                    name of his father.

    001:060 And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be
                    called John.

    001:061 And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is
                    called by this name.

    001:062 And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
                    called.

    001:063 And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
                    is John. And they marvelled all.

    001:064 And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed,
                    and he spake, and praised God.

    001:065 And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
                    these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill
                    country of Judaea.

    001:066 And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts,
                    saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of
                    the Lord was with him.

    001:067 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
                    prophesied, saying,

    001:068 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
                    redeemed his people,

    001:069 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of
                    his servant David;

    001:070 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
                    since the world began:

    001:071 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of
                    all that hate us;

    001:072 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember
                    his holy covenant;

    001:073 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,

    001:074 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
                    the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,

    001:075 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
                    life.

    001:076 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;

    001:077 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
                    remission of their sins,

    001:078 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
                    from on high hath visited us,

    001:079 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
                    of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

    001:080 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
                    deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

    002:001 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
                    decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
                    taxed.

    002:002 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of
                    Syria.)

    002:003 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

    002:004 And Joseph also went up from 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:)

    002:005 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
                    child.

    002:006 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
                    accomplished that she should be delivered.

    002:007 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
                    swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was
                    no room for them in the inn.

    002:008 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
                    field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

    002:009 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.

    002:010 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
                    you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

    002:011 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
                    which is Christ the Lord.

    002:012 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
                    wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

    002:013 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
                    heavenly host praising God, and saying,

    002:014 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
                    toward men.

    002:015 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them
                    into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go
                    even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass,
                    which the Lord hath made known unto us.

    002:016 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
                    babe lying in a manger.

    002:017 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying
                    which was told them concerning this child.

    002:018 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were
                    told them by the shepherds.

    002:019 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
                    heart.

    002:020 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
                    all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told
                    unto them.

    002:021 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of
                    the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of
                    the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

    002:022 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;

    002:023 (As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that
                    openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

    002:024 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
                    the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young
                    pigeons.

    002:025 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.

    002:026 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
                    not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

    002:027 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,

    002:028 Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,

    002:029 Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
                    to thy word:

    002:030 For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

    002:031 Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

    002:032 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
                    Israel.

    002:033 And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were
                    spoken of him.

    002:034 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;

    002:035 (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that
                    the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

    002:036 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 husband seven years from her virginity;

    002:037 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
                    departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and
                    prayers night and day.

    002:038 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the
                    Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
                    in Jerusalem.

    002:039 And when they had performed all things according to the law of
                    the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city
                    Nazareth.

    002:040 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
                    wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

    002:041 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
                    the passover.

    002:042 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
                    after the custom of the feast.

    002:043 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the
                    child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his
                    mother knew not of it.

    002:044 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a
                    day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and
                    acquaintance.

    002:045 And when they found him not, they turned back again to
                    Jerusalem, seeking him.

    002:046 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in
                    the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing
                    them, and asking them questions.

    002:047 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
                    and answers.

    002:048 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.

    002:049 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
                    not that I must be about my Father's business?

    002:050 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

    002:051 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was
                    subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in
                    her heart.

    002:052 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
                    God and man.

    003:001 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
                    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 Lysanias the
                    tetrarch of Abilene,

    003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God
                    came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

    003:003 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
                    baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

    003:004 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
                    prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
                    Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

    003:005 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;

    003:006 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

    003:007 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized
                    of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee
                    from the wrath to come?

    003:008 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
                    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.

    003:009 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every
                    tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
                    down, and cast into the fire.

    003:010 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?

    003:011 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.

    003:012 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
                    Master, what shall we do?

    003:013 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
                    appointed you.

    003:014 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
                    shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man,
                    neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

    003:015 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in
                    their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

    003:016 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with
                    water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose
                    shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with
                    the Holy Ghost and with fire:

    003:017 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
                    floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the
                    chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.

    003:018 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
                    people.

    003:019 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
                    brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had
                    done,

    003:020 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.

    003:021 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
                    Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

    003:022 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.

    003:023 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being
                    (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of
                    Heli,

    003:024 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which
                    was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was
                    the son of Joseph,

                    was the son of Juda,

                    was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel,
                    which was the son of Neri,

    003:028 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which
                    was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was
                    the son of Er,

    003:029 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which
                    was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was
                    the son of Levi,

    003:030 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which
                    was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was
                    the son of Eliakim,

    003:031 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which
                    was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which
                    was the son of David,

    003:032 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which
                    was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was
                    the son of Naasson,

    003:033 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram,
                    which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which
                    was the son of Juda,

    003:034 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which
                    was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was
                    the son of Nachor,

    003:035 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which
                    was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was
                    the son of Sala,

    003:036 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad,
                    which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was
                    the son of Lamech,

    003:037 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch,
                    which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel,
                    which was the son of Cainan,

    003:038 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which
                    was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

    004:001 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
                    and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

    004:002 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he
                    did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
                    hungered.

    004:003 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
                    command this stone that it be made bread.

    004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
                    not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

    004:005 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
                    unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

    004:006 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee,
                    and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
                    whomsoever I will I give it.

    004:007 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

    004:008 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
                    Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
                    and him only shalt thou serve.

    004:009 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of
                    the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast
                    thyself down from hence:

    004:010 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
                    to keep thee:

    004:011 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
                    thou dash thy foot against a stone.

    004:012 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
                    tempt the Lord thy God.

    004:013 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
                    from him for a season.

    004:014 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee:
                    and there went out a fame of him through all the region round
                    about.

    004:015 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

    004:016 And he came to Nazareth, 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.

    004:017 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,

    004:018 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
                    brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
                    recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that
                    are bruised,

    004:019 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

    004:020 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 him.

    004:021 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
                    fulfilled in your ears.

    004:022 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?

    004:023 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.

    004:024 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
                    his own country.

    004:025 But I tell you of a truth, many 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;

    004:026 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a
                    city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.

    004:027 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
                    prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the
                    Syrian.

    004:028 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
                    were filled with wrath,

    004:029 And rose up, and thrust him 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.

    004:030 But he passing through the midst of them went his way,

    004:031 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
                    on the sabbath days.

    004:032 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
                    with power.

    004:033 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an
                    unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,

    004:034 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
                    of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou
                    art; the Holy One of God.

    004:035 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
                    him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came
                    out of him, and hurt him not.

    004:036 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying,
                    What a word is this! for with authority and power he
                    commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.

    004:037 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country
                    round about.

    004:038 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.

    004:039 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
                    and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.

    004:040 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with
                    divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands
                    on every one of them, and healed them.

    004:041 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou
                    art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them
                    not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

    004:042 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place:
                    and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him,
                    that he should not depart from them.

    004:043 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to
                    other cities also: for therefore am I sent.

    004:044 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

    005:001 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to
                    hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,

    005:002 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were
                    gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

    005:003 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and
                    prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
                    And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

    005:004 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
                    into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

    005:005 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all
                    the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I
                    will let down the net.

    005:006 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude
                    of fishes: and their net brake.

    005:007 And they beckoned unto their 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.

    005:008 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying,
                    Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.

    005:009 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
                    draught of the fishes which they had taken:

    005:010 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which
                    were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not;
                    from henceforth thou shalt catch men.

    005:011 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
                    all, and followed him.

    005:012 And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a
                    man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and
                    besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me
                    clean.

    005:013 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be
                    thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.

    005:014 And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to
                    the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses
                    commanded, for a testimony unto them.

    005:015 But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and
                    great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by
                    him of their infirmities.

    005:016 And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.

    005:017 And it came to pass on a certain 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.

    005:018 And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a
                    palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him
                    before him.

    005:019 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 him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst
                    before Jesus.

    005:020 And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
                    are forgiven thee.

    005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
                    is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but
                    God alone?

    005:022 But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
                    unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?

    005:023 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
                    say, Rise up and walk?

    005:024 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.

    005:025 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
                    whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

    005:026 And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
                    filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

    005:027 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican,
                    named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto
                    him, Follow me.

    005:028 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

    005:029 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.

    005:030 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
                    disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and
                    sinners?

    005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need
                    not a physician; but they that are sick.

    005:032 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

    005:033 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?

    005:034 And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
                    bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

    005:035 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
                    away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

    005:036 And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece
                    of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new
                    maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new
                    agreeth not with the old.

    005:037 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new
                    wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles
                    shall perish.

    005:038 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
                    preserved.

    005:039 No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new:
                    for he saith, The old is better.

    006:001 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first,
                    that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples
                    plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their
                    hands.

    006:002 And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
                    which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

    006:003 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;

    006:004 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the
                    shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it
                    is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

    006:005 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the
                    sabbath.

    006:006 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.

    006:007 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would
                    heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation
                    against him.

    006:008 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.

    006:009 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?

    006:010 And looking round about 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.

    006:011 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
                    another what they might do to Jesus.

    006:012 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a
                    mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

    006:013 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of
                    them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

    006:014 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
                    James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

    006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
                    called Zelotes,

    006:016 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also
                    was the traitor.

    006:017 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 Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre
                    and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their
                    diseases;

    006:018 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
                    healed.

    006:019 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went
                    virtue out of him, and healed them all.

    006:020 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
                    be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

    006:021 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
                    Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

    006:022 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
                    separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and
                    cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

    006:023 Rejoice 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.

    006:024 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
                    consolation.

    006:025 Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
                    that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

    006:026 Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
                    their fathers to the false prophets.

    006:027 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
                    them which hate you,

    006:028 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
                    despitefully use you.

    006:029 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the
                    other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take
                    thy coat also.

    006:030 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
                    away thy goods ask them not again.

    006:031 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
                    likewise.

    006:032 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
                    sinners also love those that love them.

    006:033 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
                    have ye? for sinners also do even the same.

    006:034 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.

    006:035 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.

    006:036 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

    006:037 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
                    shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

    006:038 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.

    006:039 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
                    blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?

    006:040 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is
                    perfect shall be as his master.

    006:041 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
                    but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

    006:042 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me 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 beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou
                    see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.

    006:043 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
                    a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

    006:044 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.

    006:045 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 heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for
                    of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

    006:046 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
                    say?

    006:047 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
                    them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

    006:048 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and
                    laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the
                    stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake
                    it: for it was founded upon a rock.

    006:049 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.

    007:001 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the
                    people, he entered into Capernaum.

    007:002 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
                    sick, and ready to die.

    007:003 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.

    007:004 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
                    saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:

    007:005 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

    007:006 Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from
                    the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him,
                    Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou
                    shouldest enter under my roof:

    007:007 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
                    but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.

    007:008 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
                    soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to
                    another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and
                    he doeth it.

    007:009 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned
                    him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say
                    unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

    007:010 And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
                    servant whole that had been sick.

    007:011 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 much
                    people.

    007:012 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there
                    was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
                    she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.

    007:013 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
                    unto her, Weep not.

    007:014 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
                    still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

    007:015 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
                    delivered him to his mother.

    007:016 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.

    007:017 And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
                    throughout all the region round about.

    007:018 And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.

    007:019 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to
                    Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for
                    another?

    007:020 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?

    007:021 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.

    007:022 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.

    007:023 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

    007:024 And when the messengers 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?

    007:025 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
                    raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and
                    live delicately, are in kings' courts.

    007:026 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
                    you, and much more than a prophet.

    007:027 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger
                    before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

    007:028 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.

    007:029 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
                    justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.

    007:030 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
                    against themselves, being not baptized of him.

    007:031 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
                    this generation? and to what are they like?

    007:032 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.

    007:033 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
                    wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.

    007:034 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold
                    a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
                    sinners!

    007:035 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

    007:036 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
                    him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to
                    meat.

    007:037 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,

    007:038 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.

    007:039 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 toucheth
                    him: for she is a sinner.

    007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
                    say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

    007:041 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
                    owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

    007:042 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
                    both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

    007:043 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave
                    most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

    007:044 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou
                    this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no
                    water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and
                    wiped them with the hairs of her head.

    007:045 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came
                    in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

    007:046 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath
                    anointed my feet with ointment.

    007:047 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
                    forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven,
                    the same loveth little.

    007:048 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

    007:049 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
                    themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?

    007:050 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
                    peace.

    008:001 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
                    city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of
                    the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

    008:002 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and
                    infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven
                    devils,

    008:003 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and
                    many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

    008:004 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to
                    him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

    008:005 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell
                    by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the
                    air devoured it.

    008:006 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
                    withered away, because it lacked moisture.

    008:007 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
                    and choked it.

    008:008 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit
                    an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried,
                    He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    008:009 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
                    be?

    008:010 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 understand.

    008:011 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

    008:012 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the
                    devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they
                    should believe and be saved.

    008:013 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.

    008:014 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 perfection.

    008:015 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.

    008:016 No man, when he hath lighted 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.

    008:017 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
                    neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come
                    abroad.

    008:018 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him
                    shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be
                    taken even that which he seemeth to have.

    008:019 Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not
                    come at him for the press.

    008:020 And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy
                    brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

    008:021 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
                    are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

    008:022 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.

    008:023 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm
                    of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were
                    in jeopardy.

    008:024 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,
                    we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging
                    of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

    008:025 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being
                    afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is
                    this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they
                    obey him.

    008:026 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is
                    over against Galilee.

    008:027 And when he went forth to 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.

    008:028 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 God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

    008:029 (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.)

    008:030 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
                    Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

    008:031 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
                    into the deep.

    008:032 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
                    mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to
                    enter into them. And he suffered them.

    008:033 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.

    008:034 When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went
                    and told it in the city and in the country.

    008:035 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.

    008:036 They also which saw it told them by what means he that was
                    possessed of the devils was healed.

    008:037 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.

    008:038 Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him
                    that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

    008:039 Return 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 him.

    008:040 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
                    gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

    008:041 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:

    008:042 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and
                    she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

    008:043 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
                    spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed
                    of any,

    008:044 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and
                    immediately her issue of blood stanched.

    008:045 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?

    008:046 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
                    virtue is gone out of me.

    008:047 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 people for what cause she had touched him, and
                    how she was healed immediately.

    008:048 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
                    hath made thee whole; go in peace.

    008:049 While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
                    synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead;
                    trouble not the Master.

    008:050 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not:
                    believe only, and she shall be made whole.

    008:051 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
                    save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother
                    of the maiden.

    008:052 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
                    not dead, but sleepeth.

    008:053 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

    008:054 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
                    saying, Maid, arise.

    008:055 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
                    commanded to give her meat.

    008:056 And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they
                    should tell no man what was done.

    009:001 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
                    power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

    009:002 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
                    sick.

    009:003 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither
                    staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have
                    two coats apiece.

    009:004 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
                    depart.

    009:005 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 them.

    009:006 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
                    gospel, and healing every where.

    009:007 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;

    009:008 And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one
                    of the old prophets was risen again.

    009:009 And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
                    I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

    009:010 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 city called Bethsaida.

    009:011 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he
                    received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and
                    healed them that had need of healing.

    009:012 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and
                    said unto him, Send the multitude 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.

    009:013 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.

    009:014 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
                    disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

    009:015 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

    009:016 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.

    009:017 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
                    of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

    009:018 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
                    were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people
                    that I am?

    009:019 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias;
                    and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

    009:020 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
                    said, The Christ of God.

    009:021 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no
                    man that thing;

    009:022 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
                    rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be
                    slain, and be raised the third day.

    009:023 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let
                    him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

    009:024 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
                    will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

    009:025 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
                    lose himself, or be cast away?

    009:026 For whosoever 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.

    009:027 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.

    009:028 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.

    009:029 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
                    and his raiment was white and glistering.

    009:030 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
                    and Elias:

    009:031 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
                    should accomplish at Jerusalem.

    009:032 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
                    and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men
                    that stood with him.

    009:033 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 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and
                    one for Elias: not knowing what he said.

    009:034 While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
                    them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.

    009:035 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my
                    beloved Son: hear him.

    009:036 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.

    009:037 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come
                    down from the hill, much people met him.

    009:038 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
                    beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

    009:039 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.

    009:040 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
                    not.

    009:041 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
                    how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son
                    hither.

    009:042 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
                    him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the
                    child, and delivered him again to his father.

    009:043 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,

    009:044 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
                    shall be delivered into the hands of men.

    009:045 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.

    009:046 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should
                    be greatest.

    009:047 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a
                    child, and set him by him,

    009:048 And said unto them, Whosoever 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.

    009:049 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.

    009:050 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not
                    against us is for us.

    009:051 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,

    009:052 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
                    entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for
                    him.

    009:053 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
                    he would go to Jerusalem.

    009:054 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 Elias did?

    009:055 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
                    manner of spirit ye are of.

    009:056 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
                    save them. And they went to another village.

    009:057 And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain
                    man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou
                    goest.

    009:058 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.

    009:059 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
                    me first to go and bury my father.

    009:060 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
                    and preach the kingdom of God.

    009:061 And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
                    first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.

    009:062 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
                    plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

    010:001 After 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.

    010:002 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but
                    the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the
                    harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

    010:003 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

    010:004 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
                    by the way.

    010:005 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to
                    this house.

    010:006 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
                    it: if not, it shall turn to you again.

    010:007 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things
                    as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not
                    from house to house.

    010:008 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
                    such things as are set before you:

    010:009 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
                    kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

    010:010 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,
                    go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,

    010:011 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do
                    wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that
                    the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

    010:012 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that
                    day for Sodom, than for that city.

    010:013 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! 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 repented, sitting in
                    sackcloth and ashes.

    010:014 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
                    judgment, than for you.

    010:015 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be
                    thrust down to hell.

    010:016 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
                    despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent
                    me.

    010:017 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even
                    the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

    010:018 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
                    heaven.

    010:019 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.

    010:020 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
                    subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are
                    written in heaven.

    010:021 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee,
                    O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these
                    things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto
                    babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

    010:022 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.

    010:023 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately,
                    Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

    010:024 For I tell you, that many prophets 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.

    010:025 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
                    saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

    010:026 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest
                    thou?

    010:027 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.

    010:028 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and
                    thou shalt live.

    010:029 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who
                    is my neighbour?

    010:030 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from
                    Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped
                    him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him
                    half dead.

    010:031 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and
                    when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

    010:032 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and
                    looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

    010:033 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:
                    and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

    010:034 And went to him, 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.

    010:035 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 come again, I will
                    repay thee.

    010:036 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
                    him that fell among the thieves?

    010:037 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto
                    him, Go, and do thou likewise.

    010:038 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.

    010:039 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
                    feet, and heard his word.

    010:040 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.

    010:041 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art
                    careful and troubled about many things:

    010:042 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part,
                    which shall not be taken away from her.

    011:001 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 disciples.

    011:002 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.

    011:003 Give us day by day our daily bread.

    011:004 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is
                    indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver
                    us from evil.

    011:005 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;

    011:006 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
                    nothing to set before him?

    011:007 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.

    011:008 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because
                    he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise
                    and give him as many as he needeth.

    011:009 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.

    011:010 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
                    findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

    011:011 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?

    011:012 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

    011:013 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?

    011:014 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.

    011:015 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub
                    the chief of the devils.

    011:016 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

    011:017 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.

    011:018 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
                    kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through
                    Beelzebub.

    011:019 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons
                    cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.

    011:020 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
                    kingdom of God is come upon you.

    011:021 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in
                    peace:

    011:022 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome
                    him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and
                    divideth his spoils.

    011:023 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth
                    not with me scattereth.

    011:024 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.

    011:025 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

    011:026 Then goeth he, and taketh to him 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.

    011:027 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 which thou hast
                    sucked.

    011:028 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word
                    of God, and keep it.

    011:029 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.

    011:030 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
                    Son of man be to this generation.

    011:031 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.

    011:032 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this
                    generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the
                    preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.

    011:033 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret
                    place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they
                    which come in may see the light.

    011:034 The light of the body is the 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.

    011:035 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
                    darkness.

    011:036 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part
                    dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright
                    shining of a candle doth give thee light.

    011:037 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with
                    him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.

    011:038 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not
                    first washed before dinner.

    011:039 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 ravening and wickedness.

    011:040 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that
                    which is within also?

    011:041 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,
                    all things are clean unto you.

    011:042 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all
                    manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God:
                    these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
                    undone.

    011:043 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in
                    the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

    011:044 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.

    011:045 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
                    thus saying thou reproachest us also.

    011:046 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 burdens with one of your fingers.

    011:047 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and
                    your fathers killed them.

    011:048 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers:
                    for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

    011:049 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them
                    prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and
                    persecute:

    011:050 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the
                    foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

    011:051 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which
                    perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto
                    you, It shall be required of this generation.

    011:052 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of
                    knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were
                    entering in ye hindered.

    011:053 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the
                    Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to
                    speak of many things:

    011:054 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his
                    mouth, that they might accuse him.

    012:001 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.

    012:002 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
                    neither hid, that shall not be known.

    012:003 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.

    012:004 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.

    012:005 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.

    012:006 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of
                    them is forgotten before God?

    012:007 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear
                    not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.

    012:008 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men,
                    him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of
                    God:

    012:009 But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the
                    angels of God.

    012:010 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.

    012:011 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto
                    magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing
                    ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:

    012:012 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye
                    ought to say.

    012:013 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my
                    brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.

    012:014 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider
                    over you?

    012:015 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
                    for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things
                    which he possesseth.

    012:016 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a
                    certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

    012:017 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
                    because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

    012:018 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and
                    build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my
                    goods.

    012:019 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.

    012:020 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be
                    required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou
                    hast provided?

    012:021 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich
                    toward God.

    012:022 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take
                    no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the
                    body, what ye shall put on.

    012:023 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

    012:024 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?

    012:025 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature
                    one cubit?

    012:026 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why
                    take ye thought for the rest?

    012:027 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin
                    not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was
                    not arrayed like one of these.

    012:028 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field,
                    and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he
                    clothe you, O ye of little faith?

    012:029 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
                    neither be ye of doubtful mind.

    012:030 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:
                    and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

    012:031 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things
                    shall be added unto you.

    012:032 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure
                    to give you the kingdom.

    012:033 Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags
                    which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not,
                    where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

    012:034 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

    012:035 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;

    012:036 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.

    012:037 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall
                    find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird
                    himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come
                    forth and serve them.

    012:038 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third
                    watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

    012:039 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.

    012:040 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an
                    hour when ye think not.

    012:041 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable
                    unto us, or even to all?

    012:042 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 portion of meat in due season?

    012:043 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
                    find so doing.

    012:044 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over
                    all that he hath.

    012:045 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
                    coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens,
                    and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

    012:046 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.

    012:047 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not
                    himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten
                    with many stripes.

    012:048 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 whom men have
                    committed much, of him they will ask the more.

    012:049 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be
                    already kindled?

    012:050 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
                    straitened till it be accomplished!

    012:051 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you,
                    Nay; but rather division:

    012:052 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,
                    three against two, and two against three.

    012:053 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.

    012:054 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.

    012:055 And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be
                    heat; and it cometh to pass.

    012:056 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?

    012:057 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?

    012:058 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 the
                    judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee
                    into prison.

    012:059 I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid
                    the very last mite.

    013:001 There were present at that season some that told him of the
                    Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their
                    sacrifices.

    013:002 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these
                    Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they
                    suffered such things?

    013:003 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
                    perish.

    013:004 Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and
                    slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that
                    dwelt in Jerusalem?

    013:005 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
                    perish.

    013:006 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree
                    planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon,
                    and found none.

    013:007 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?

    013:008 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year
                    also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

    013:009 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou
                    shalt cut it down.

    013:010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.

    013:011 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity
                    eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise
                    lift up herself.

    013:012 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto
                    her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.

    013:013 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made
                    straight, and glorified God.

    013:014 And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,
                    because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said
                    unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to
                    work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the
                    sabbath day.

    013:015 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not
                    each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from
                    the stall, and lead him away to watering?

    013:016 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?

    013:017 And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were
                    ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious
                    things that were done by him.

    013:018 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and
                    whereunto shall I resemble it?

    013:019 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.

    013:020 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?

    013:021 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
                    measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

    013:022 And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and
                    journeying toward Jerusalem.

    013:023 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And
                    he said unto them,

    013:024 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto
                    you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

    013:025 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut
                    to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at
                    the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall
                    answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

    013:026 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy
                    presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

    013:027 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
                    depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

    013:028 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall
                    see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in
                    the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

    013:029 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from
                    the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the
                    kingdom of God.

    013:030 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there
                    are first which shall be last.

    013:031 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto
                    him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

    013:032 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I
                    cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the
                    third day I shall be perfected.

    013:033 Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day
                    following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of
                    Jerusalem.

    013:034 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and
                    stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have
                    gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood
                    under her wings, and ye would not!

    013:035 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say
                    unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye
                    shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

    014:001 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.

    014:002 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
                    dropsy.

    014:003 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
                    saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

    014:004 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him,
                    and let him go;

    014:005 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or
                    an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out
                    on the sabbath day?

    014:006 And they could not answer him again to these things.

    014:007 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he
                    marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them.

    014:008 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in
                    the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be
                    bidden of him;

    014:009 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this
                    man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

    014:010 But when thou art bidden, go 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 worship in the
                    presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

    014:011 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
                    humbleth himself shall be exalted.

    014:012 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest 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.

    014:013 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
                    lame, the blind:

    014:014 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:
                    for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

    014:015 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these
                    things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread
                    in the kingdom of God.

    014:016 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and
                    bade many:

    014:017 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were
                    bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

    014:018 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.

    014:019 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to
                    prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

    014:020 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
                    cannot come.

    014:021 So that 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.

    014:022 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded,
                    and yet there is room.

    014:023 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways
                    and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be
                    filled.

    014:024 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden
                    shall taste of my supper.

    014:025 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and
                    said unto them,

    014:026 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.

    014:027 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
                    cannot be my disciple.

    014:028 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down
                    first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to
                    finish it?

    014:029 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able
                    to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

    014:030 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

    014:031 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?

    014:032 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an
                    ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

    014:033 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all
                    that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

    014:034 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
                    shall it be seasoned?

    014:035 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but
                    men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

    015:001 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to
                    hear him.

    015:002 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man
                    receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.

    015:003 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,

    015:004 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of
                    them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness,
                    and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

    015:005 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders,
                    rejoicing.

    015:006 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and
                    neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have
                    found my sheep which was lost.

    015:007 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one
                    sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just
                    persons, which need no repentance.

    015:008 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?

    015:009 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her
                    neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found
                    the piece which I had lost.

    015:010 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
                    angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

    015:011 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

    015:012 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me
                    the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto
                    them his living.

    015:013 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together,
                    and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his
                    substance with riotous living.

    015:014 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that
                    land; and he began to be in want.

    015:015 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
                    and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

    015:016 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that
                    the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

    015:017 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
                    with hunger!

    015:018 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
                    Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

    015:019 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of
                    thy hired servants.

    015:020 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.

    015:021 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against
                    heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called
                    thy son.

    015:022 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best
                    robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes
                    on his feet:

    015:023 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat,
                    and be merry:

    015:024 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and
                    is found. And they began to be merry.

    015:025 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew
                    nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

    015:026 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things
                    meant.

    015:027 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.

    015:028 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his
                    father out, and intreated him.

    015:029 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I
                    serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy
                    commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might
                    make merry with my friends:

    015:030 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy
                    living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

    015:031 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that
                    I have is thine.

    015:032 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.

    016:001 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich
                    man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him
                    that he had wasted his goods.

    016:002 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.

    016:003 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.

    016:004 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the
                    stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

    016:005 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and
                    said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

    016:006 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him,
                    Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

    016:007 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.

    016:008 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.

    016:009 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon
                    of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you
                    into everlasting habitations.

    016:010 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
                    much.

    016:011 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous
                    mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

    016:012 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
                    man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

    016:013 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.

    016:014 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these
                    things: and they derided him.

    016:015 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.

    016:016 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the
                    kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

    016:017 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle
                    of the law to fail.

    016:018 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,
                    committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put
                    away from her husband committeth adultery.

    016:019 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and
                    fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

    016:020 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
                    at his gate, full of sores,

    016:021 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
                    rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

    016:022 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;

    016:023 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
                    Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

    016:024 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
                    send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water,
                    and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

    016:025 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
                    receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things:
                    but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

    016:026 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.

    016:027 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
                    wouldest send him to my father's house:

    016:028 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
                    they also come into this place of torment.

    016:029 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let
                    them hear them.

    016:030 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them
                    from the dead, they will repent.

    016:031 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
                    neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

    017:001 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that
                    offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

    017:002 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.

    017:003 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee,
                    rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

    017:004 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and
                    seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;
                    thou shalt forgive him.

    017:005 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

    017:006 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.

    017:007 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?

    017:008 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?

    017:009 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were
                    commanded him? I trow not.

    017:010 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which
                    are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have
                    done that which was our duty to do.

    017:011 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed
                    through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

    017:012 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten
                    men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

    017:013 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have
                    mercy on us.

    017:014 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves
                    unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went,
                    they were cleansed.

    017:015 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
                    and with a loud voice glorified God,

    017:016 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and
                    he was a Samaritan.

    017:017 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but
                    where are the nine?

    017:018 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save
                    this stranger.

    017:019 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made
                    thee whole.

    017:020 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of
                    God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God
                    cometh not with observation:

    017:021 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,
                    the kingdom of God is within you.

    017:022 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.

    017:023 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not
                    after them, nor follow them.

    017:024 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 man be in his day.

    017:025 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this
                    generation.

    017:026 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the
                    days of the Son of man.

    017:027 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.

    017:028 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they
                    drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

    017:029 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
                    brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

    017:030 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
                    revealed.

    017:031 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 back.

    017:032 Remember Lot's wife.

    017:033 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and
                    whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

    017:034 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed;
                    the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.

    017:035 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,
                    and the other left.

    017:036 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the
                    other left.

    017:037 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said
                    unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be
                    gathered together.

    018:001 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought
                    always to pray, and not to faint;

    018:002 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,
                    neither regarded man:

    018:003 And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him,
                    saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

    018:004 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within
                    himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;

    018:005 Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest
                    by her continual coming she weary me.

    018:006 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.

    018:007 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
                    night unto him, though he bear long with them?

    018:008 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
                    when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

    018:009 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
                    themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

    018:010 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
                    and the other a publican.

    018:011 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
                    thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust,
                    adulterers, or even as this publican.

    018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

    018:013 And the publican, 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.

    018:014 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.

    018:015 And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch
                    them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

    018:016 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little
                    children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
                    the kingdom of God.

    018:017 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom
                    of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

    018:018 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall
                    I do to inherit eternal life?

    018:019 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is
                    good, save one, that is, God.

    018:020 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
                    kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy
                    father and thy mother.

    018:021 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

    018:022 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
                    heaven: and come, follow me.

    018:023 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very
                    rich.

    018:024 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How
                    hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of
                    God!

    018:025 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.

    018:026 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?

    018:027 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are
                    possible with God.

    018:028 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.

    018:029 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man
                    that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or
                    children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

    018:030 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and
                    in the world to come life everlasting.

    018:031 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold,
                    we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the
                    prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

    018:032 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be
                    mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:

    018:033 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the
                    third day he shall rise again.

    018:034 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was
                    hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

    018:035 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
                    certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

    018:036 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

    018:037 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

    018:038 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on
                    me.

    018:039 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.

    018:040 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and
                    when he was come near, he asked him,

    018:041 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said,
                    Lord, that I may receive my sight.

    018:042 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath
                    saved thee.

    018:043 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him,
                    glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave
                    praise unto God.

    019:001 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

    019:002 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the
                    chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

    019:003 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the
                    press, because he was little of stature.

    019:004 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see
                    him: for he was to pass that way.

    019:005 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,
                    and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for
                    to day I must abide at thy house.

    019:006 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

    019:007 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was
                    gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

    019:008 And Zacchaeus 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.

    019:009 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
                    house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

    019:010 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
                    lost.

    019:011 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable,
                    because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought
                    that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

    019:012 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
                    to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

    019:013 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds,
                    and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

    019:014 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,
                    saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

    019:015 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having
                    received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be
                    called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might
                    know how much every man had gained by trading.

    019:016 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
                    pounds.

    019:017 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou
                    hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over
                    ten cities.

    019:018 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five
                    pounds.

    019:019 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

    019:020 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound,
                    which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

    019:021 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou
                    takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou
                    didst not sow.

    019:022 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:

    019:023 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at
                    my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

    019:024 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound,
                    and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

    019:025 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

    019:026 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be
                    given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be
                    taken away from him.

    019:027 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign
                    over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

    019:028 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to
                    Jerusalem.

    019:029 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,

    019:030 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.

    019:031 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say
                    unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

    019:032 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he
                    had said unto them.

    019:033 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said
                    unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

    019:034 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

    019:035 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments
                    upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

    019:036 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

    019:037 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;

    019:038 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the
                    Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

    019:039 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto
                    him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

    019:040 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
                    should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

    019:041 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over
                    it,

    019:042 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.

    019:043 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,

    019:044 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 visitation.

    019:045 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that
                    sold therein, and them that bought;

    019:046 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
                    prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

    019:047 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and
                    the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

    019:048 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were
                    very attentive to hear him.

    020:001 And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught
                    the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief
                    priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,

    020:002 And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
                    thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?

    020:003 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one
                    thing; and answer me:

    020:004 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?

    020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
                    From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

    020:006 But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for
                    they be persuaded that John was a prophet.

    020:007 And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.

    020:008 And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
                    I do these things.

    020:009 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.

    020:010 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.

    020:011 And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and
                    entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

    020:012 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast
                    him out.

    020:013 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will
                    send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when
                    they see him.

    020:014 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 ours.

    020:015 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What
                    therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

    020:016 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the
                    vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God
                    forbid.

    020:017 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?

    020:018 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
                    whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

    020:019 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.

    020:020 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.

    020:021 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:

    020:022 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?

    020:023 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
                    tempt ye me?

    020:024 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They
                    answered and said, Caesar's.

    020:025 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things
                    which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.

    020:026 And they could not take hold of his words before the people:
                    and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

    020:027 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that
                    there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

    020:028 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.

    020:029 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a
                    wife, and died without children.

    020:030 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

    020:031 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and
                    they left no children, and died.

    020:032 Last of all the woman died also.

    020:033 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for
                    seven had her to wife.

    020:034 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
                    marry, and are given in marriage:

    020:035 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world,
                    and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are
                    given in marriage:

    020:036 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.

    020:037 Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush,
                    when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of
                    Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

    020:038 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all
                    live unto him.

    020:039 Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast
                    well said.

    020:040 And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.

    020:041 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's
                    son?

    020:042 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said
                    unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

    020:043 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

    020:044 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?

    020:045 Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
                    disciples,

    020:046 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;

    020:047 Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers:
                    the same shall receive greater damnation.

    021:001 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts
                    into the treasury.

    021:002 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two
                    mites.

    021:003 And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow
                    hath cast in more than they all:

    021:004 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.

    021:005 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with
                    goodly stones and gifts, he said,

    021:006 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.

    021:007 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?

    021:008 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.

    021:009 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.

    021:010 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
                    kingdom against kingdom:

    021:011 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
                    and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall
                    there be from heaven.

    021:012 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
                    persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
                    prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's
                    sake.

    021:013 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

    021:014 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before
                    what ye shall answer:

    021:015 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
                    adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

    021:016 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
                    kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be
                    put to death.

    021:017 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

    021:018 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

    021:019 In your patience possess ye your souls.

    021:020 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
                    know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

    021:021 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
                    let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not
                    them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

    021:022 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
                    written may be fulfilled.

    021:023 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
                    suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the
                    land, and wrath upon this people.

    021:024 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led
                    away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden
                    down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be
                    fulfilled.

    021:025 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
                    the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with
                    perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

    021:026 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
                    those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
                    heaven shall be shaken.

    021:027 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
                    power and great glory.

    021:028 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and
                    lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

    021:029 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all
                    the trees;

    021:030 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves
                    that summer is now nigh at hand.

    021:031 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye
                    that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

    021:032 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
                    till all be fulfilled.

    021:033 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
                    away.

    021:034 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
                    overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of
                    this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

    021:035 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
                    face of the whole earth.

    021:036 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
                    worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and
                    to stand before the Son of man.

    021:037 And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at
                    night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the
                    mount of Olives.

    021:038 And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
                    temple, for to hear him.

    022:001 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called
                    the Passover.

    022:002 And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill
                    him; for they feared the people.

    022:003 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the
                    number of the twelve.

    022:004 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and
                    captains, how he might betray him unto them.

    022:005 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

    022:006 And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto
                    them in the absence of the multitude.

    022:007 Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must
                    be killed.

    022:008 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
                    passover, that we may eat.

    022:009 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?

    022:010 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
                    city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
                    follow him into the house where he entereth in.

    022:011 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
                    saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat
                    the passover with my disciples?

    022:012 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make
                    ready.

    022:013 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
                    made ready the passover.

    022:014 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
                    apostles with him.

    022:015 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this
                    passover with you before I suffer:

    022:016 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it
                    be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

    022:017 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and
                    divide it among yourselves:

    022:018 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
                    until the kingdom of God shall come.

    022:019 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave
                    unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you:
                    this do in remembrance of me.

    022:020 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
                    new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

    022:021 But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on
                    the table.

    022:022 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe
                    unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

    022:023 And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it
                    was that should do this thing.

    022:024 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
                    be accounted the greatest.

    022:025 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise
                    lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them
                    are called benefactors.

    022:026 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let
                    him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth
                    serve.

    022:027 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
                    serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as
                    he that serveth.

    022:028 Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

    022:029 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed
                    unto me;

    022:030 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit
                    on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    022:031 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to
                    have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

    022:032 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
                    thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

    022:033 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both
                    into prison, and to death.

    022:034 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this
                    day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

    022:035 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and
                    scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

    022:036 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him
                    take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword,
                    let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    022:037 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be
                    accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the
                    transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

    022:038 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said
                    unto them, It is enough.

    022:039 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of
                    Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

    022:040 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye
                    enter not into temptation.

    022:041 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and
                    kneeled down, and prayed,

    022:042 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:
                    nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

    022:043 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
                    strengthening him.

    022:044 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat
                    was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the
                    ground.

    022:045 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
                    disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

    022:046 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter
                    into temptation.

    022:047 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was
                    called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew
                    near unto Jesus to kiss him.

    022:048 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
                    with a kiss?

    022:049 When they which were about him saw what would follow, they
                    said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?

    022:050 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut
                    off his right ear.

    022:051 And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
                    touched his ear, and healed him.

    022:052 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the
                    temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come
                    out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?

    022:053 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no
                    hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of
                    darkness.

    022:054 Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high
                    priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.

    022:055 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and
                    were set down together, Peter sat down among them.

    022:056 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and
                    earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with
                    him.

    022:057 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.

    022:058 And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art
                    also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.

    022:059 And about the space of one hour after another confidently
                    affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him:
                    for he is a Galilaean.

    022:060 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
                    immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.

    022:061 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
                    remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him,
                    Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.

    022:062 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

    022:063 And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.

    022:064 And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the
                    face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote
                    thee?

    022:065 And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

    022:066 And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the
                    chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into
                    their council, saying,

    022:067 Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell
                    you, ye will not believe:

    022:068 And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.

    022:069 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the
                    power of God.

    022:070 Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said
                    unto them, Ye say that I am.

    022:071 And they said, What need we any further witness? for we
                    ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

    023:001 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
                    Pilate.

    023:002 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow
                    perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to
                    Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

    023:003 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
                    And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

    023:004 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I
                    find no fault in this man.

    023:005 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the
                    people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee
                    to this place.

    023:006 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a
                    Galilaean.

    023:007 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
                    jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at
                    Jerusalem at that time.

    023:008 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was
                    desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard
                    many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle
                    done by him.

    023:009 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him
                    nothing.

    023:010 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused
                    him.

    023:011 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked
                    him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to
                    Pilate.

    023:012 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:
                    for before they were at enmity between themselves.

    023:013 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and
                    the rulers and the people,

    023:014 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
                    perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him
                    before you, have found no fault in this man touching those
                    things whereof ye accuse him:

    023:015 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
                    worthy of death is done unto him.

    023:016 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

    023:017 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

    023:018 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man,
                    and release unto us Barabbas:

    023:019 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder,
                    was cast into prison.)

    023:020 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to
                    them.

    023:021 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

    023:022 And he said unto them the 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.

    023:023 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he
                    might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief
                    priests prevailed.

    023:024 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.

    023:025 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was
                    cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered
                    Jesus to their will.

    023:026 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
                    Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the
                    cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

    023:027 And there followed him a great company of people, and of
                    women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

    023:028 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
                    not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

    023:029 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say,
                    Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the
                    paps which never gave suck.

    023:030 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and
                    to the hills, Cover us.

    023:031 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be
                    done in the dry?

    023:032 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be
                    put to death.

    023:033 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary,
                    there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the
                    right hand, and the other on the left.

    023:034 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
                    they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

    023:035 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
                    derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if
                    he be Christ, the chosen of God.

    023:036 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
                    him vinegar,

    023:037 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

    023:038 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
                    Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    023:039 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
                    saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

    023:040 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
                    fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

    023:041 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
                    deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

    023:042 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
                    into thy kingdom.

    023:043 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
                    thou be with me in paradise.

    023:044 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over
                    all the earth until the ninth hour.

    023:045 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent
                    in the midst.

    023:046 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.

    023:047 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
                    saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

    023:048 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding
                    the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

    023:049 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from
                    Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

    023:050 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and
                    he was a good man, and a just:

    023:051 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;)
                    he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself
                    waited for the kingdom of God.

    023:052 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

    023:053 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a
                    sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
                    laid.

    023:054 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

    023:055 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed
                    after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

    023:056 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
                    rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

    024:001 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
                    they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they
                    had prepared, and certain others with them.

    024:002 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

    024:003 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

    024:004 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
                    behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

    024:005 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?

    024:006 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you
                    when he was yet in Galilee,

    024:007 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
                    sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

    024:008 And they remembered his words,

    024:009 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
                    unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

    024:010 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
                    James, and other women that were with them, which told these
                    things unto the apostles.

    024:011 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
                    believed them not.

    024:012 Then arose Peter, and ran unto 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.

    024:013 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
                    called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
                    furlongs.

    024:014 And they talked together of all these things which had
                    happened.

    024:015 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
                    reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

    024:016 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

    024:017 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these
                    that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

    024:018 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?

    024:019 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:

    024:020 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
                    condemned to death, and have crucified him.

    024:021 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
                    Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since
                    these things were done.

    024:022 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished,
                    which were early at the sepulchre;

    024:023 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.

    024:024 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
                    and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw
                    not.

    024:025 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
                    all that the prophets have spoken:

    024:026 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
                    into his glory?

    024:027 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto
                    them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

    024:028 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he
                    made as though he would have gone further.

    024:029 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
                    toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
                    tarry with them.

    024:030 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
                    bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

    024:031 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished
                    out of their sight.

    024:032 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?

    024:033 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and
                    found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with
                    them,

    024:034 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

    024:035 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was
                    known of them in breaking of bread.

    024:036 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
                    them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    024:037 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they
                    had seen a spirit.

    024:038 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
                    thoughts arise in your hearts?

    024:039 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
                    and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
                    have.

    024:040 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
                    feet.

    024:041 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
                    unto them, Have ye here any meat?

    024:042 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
                    honeycomb.

    024:043 And he took it, and did eat before them.

    024:044 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
                    you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
                    fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
                    prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

    024:045 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand
                    the scriptures,

    024:046 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
                    Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

    024:047 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
                    in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

    024:048 And ye are witnesses of these things.

    024:049 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
                    tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
                    power from on high.

    024:050 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
                    hands, and blessed them.

    024:051 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
                    them, and carried up into heaven.

    024:052 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
                    joy:

    024:053 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
                    Amen.

    Book 43 John



    001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
                    the Word was God.

    001:002 The same was in the beginning with God.

    001:003 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
                    made that was made.

    001:004 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

    001:005 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
                    comprehended it not.

    001:006 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

    001:007 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light,
                    that all men through him might believe.

    001:008 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
                    Light.

    001:009 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
                    into the world.

    001:010 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
                    world knew him not.

    001:011 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

    001:012 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
                    the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

    001:013 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
                    nor of the will of man, but of God.

    001:014 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
                    beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
                    Father,) full of grace and truth.

    001:015 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of
                    whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me:
                    for he was before me.

    001:016 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

    001:017 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by
                    Jesus Christ.

    001:018 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which
                    is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

    001:019 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
                    Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

    001:020 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the
                    Christ.

    001:021 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I
                    am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

    001:022 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an
                    answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

    001:023 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make
                    straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

    001:024 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

    001:025 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
                    then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that
                    prophet?

    001:026 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
                    standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

    001:027 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose
                    shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

    001:028 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John
                    was baptizing.

    001:029 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
                    Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the
                    world.

    001:030 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
                    preferred before me: for he was before me.

    001:031 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
                    Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

    001:032 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
                    heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

    001:033 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
                    the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit
                    descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which
                    baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

    001:034 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

    001:035 Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;

    001:036 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb
                    of God!

    001:037 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
                    Jesus.

    001:038 Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
                    them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to
                    say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?

    001:039 He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
                    dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth
                    hour.

    001:040 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was
                    Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

    001:041 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We
                    have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the
                    Christ.

    001:042 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.

    001:043 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
                    findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

    001:044 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

    001:045 Philip 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.

    001:046 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out
                    of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

    001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an
                    Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

    001:048 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.

    001:049 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
                    of God; thou art the King of Israel.

    001:050 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.

    001:051 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                    Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God
                    ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

    002:001 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and
                    the mother of Jesus was there:

    002:002 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

    002:003 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
                    They have no wine.

    002:004 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
                    hour is not yet come.

    002:005 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
                    you, do it.

    002:006 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the
                    manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three
                    firkins apiece.

    002:007 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
                    filled them up to the brim.

    002:008 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
                    governor of the feast. And they bare it.

    002:009 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 called the
                    bridegroom,

    002:010 And saith unto him, Every 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 until now.

    002:011 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
                    manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

    002:012 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and
                    his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not
                    many days.

    002:013 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
                    Jerusalem.

    002:014 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
                    doves, and the changers of money sitting:

    002:015 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them
                    all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured
                    out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

    002:016 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
                    make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

    002:017 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
                    thine house hath eaten me up.

    002:018 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest
                    thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

    002:019 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
                    three days I will raise it up.

    002:020 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
                    building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

    002:021 But he spake of the temple of his body.

    002:022 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
                    remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed
                    the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

    002:023 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
                    day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
                    which he did.

    002:024 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew
                    all men,

    002:025 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew
                    what was in man.

    003:001 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
                    the Jews:

    003:002 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we
                    know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do
                    these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

    003:003 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
                    thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
                    God.

    003:004 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?

    003:005 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
                    be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the
                    kingdom of God.

    003:006 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
                    born of the Spirit is spirit.

    003:007 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

    003:008 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 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.

    003:009 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

    003:010 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel,
                    and knowest not these things?

    003:011 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and
                    testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

    003:012 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
                    shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

    003:013 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
                    from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

    003:014 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
                    must the Son of man be lifted up:

    003:015 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
                    eternal life.

    003:016 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.

    003:017 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
                    but that the world through him might be saved.

    003:018 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.

    003:019 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
                    world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
                    deeds were evil.

    003:020 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
                    to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

    003:021 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds
                    may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

    003:022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land
                    of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.

    003:023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
                    there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.

    003:024 For John was not yet cast into prison.

    003:025 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples
                    and the Jews about purifying.

    003:026 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
                    with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold,
                    the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.

    003:027 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it
                    be given him from heaven.

    003:028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the
                    Christ, but that I am sent before him.

    003:029 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of
                    the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
                    greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy
                    therefore is fulfilled.

    003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.

    003:031 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
                    earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh
                    from heaven is above all.

    003:032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
                    man receiveth his testimony.

    003:033 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that
                    God is true.

    003:034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
                    giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

    003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his
                    hand.

    003:036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
                    that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
                    of God abideth on him.

    004:001 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that
                    Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

    004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

    004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

    004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria.

    004:005 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.

    004:006 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.

    004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
                    unto her, Give me to drink.

    004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

    004:009 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, 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.

    004:010 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.

    004:011 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?

    004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the
                    well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
                    cattle?

    004:013 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this
                    water shall thirst again:

    004:014 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
                    shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall
                    be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

    004:015 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I
                    thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

    004:016 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

    004:017 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said
                    unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

    004:018 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is
                    not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

    004:019 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
                    prophet.

    004:020 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
                    Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

    004:021 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when
                    ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
                    worship the Father.

    004:022 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
                    salvation is of the Jews.

    004:023 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.

    004:024 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
                    spirit and in truth.

    004:025 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is
                    called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

    004:026 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

    004:027 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked
                    with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why
                    talkest thou with her?

    004:028 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the
                    city, and saith to the men,

    004:029 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is
                    not this the Christ?

    004:030 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

    004:031 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,
                    eat.

    004:032 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

    004:033 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man
                    brought him ought to eat?

    004:034 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
                    sent me, and to finish his work.

    004:035 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.

    004:036 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto
                    life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
                    rejoice together.

    004:037 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
                    reapeth.

    004:038 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other
                    men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

    004:039 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.

    004:040 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him
                    that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

    004:041 And many more believed because of his own word;

    004:042 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.

    004:043 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

    004:044 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in
                    his own country.

    004:045 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
                    him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at
                    the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

    004:046 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.

    004:047 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee,
                    he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down,
                    and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

    004:048 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
                    will not believe.

    004:049 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

    004:050 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.

    004:051 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
                    him, saying, Thy son liveth.

    004:052 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.

    004:053 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.

    004:054 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was
                    come out of Judaea into Galilee.

    005:001 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
                    Jerusalem.

    005:002 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is
                    called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

    005:003 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
                    halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

    005:004 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 whatsoever disease
                    he had.

    005:005 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
                    eight years.

    005:006 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?

    005:007 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.

    005:008 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

    005:009 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
                    and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

    005:010 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
                    sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

    005:011 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
                    me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

    005:012 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
                    Take up thy bed, and walk?

    005:013 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
                    conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

    005:014 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
                    Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing
                    come unto thee.

    005:015 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
                    had made him whole.

    005:016 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
                    him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

    005:017 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
                    work.

    005:018 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.

    005:019 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
                    unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth
                    the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also
                    doeth the Son likewise.

    005:020 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that
                    himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these,
                    that ye may marvel.

    005:021 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them;
                    even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

    005:022 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment
                    unto the Son:

    005:023 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.

    005:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
                    believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
                    shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death
                    unto life.

    005:025 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
                    is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and
                    they that hear shall live.

    005:026 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
                    the Son to have life in himself;

    005:027 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because
                    he is the Son of man.

    005:028 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all
                    that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

    005:029 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.

    005:030 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
                    judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the
                    will of the Father which hath sent me.

    005:031 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

    005:032 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
                    the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

    005:033 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

    005:034 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say,
                    that ye might be saved.

    005:035 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for
                    a season to rejoice in his light.

    005:036 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.

    005:037 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness
                    of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen
                    his shape.

    005:038 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath
                    sent, him ye believe not.

    005:039 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
                    life: and they are they which testify of me.

    005:040 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

    005:041 I receive not honour from men.

    005:042 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

    005:043 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
                    another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

    005:044 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
                    seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

    005:045 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
                    one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

    005:046 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he
                    wrote of me.

    005:047 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
                    words?

    006:001 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which
                    is the sea of Tiberias.

    006:002 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his
                    miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

    006:003 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his
                    disciples.

    006:004 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

    006:005 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?

    006:006 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he
                    would do.

    006:007 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
                    sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

    006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
                    unto him,

    006:009 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two
                    small fishes: but what are they among so many?

    006:010 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much
                    grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
                    thousand.

    006:011 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.

    006:012 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
                    the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

    006:013 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.

    006:014 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.

    006:015 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take
                    him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
                    mountain himself alone.

    006:016 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the
                    sea,

    006:017 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
                    Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to
                    them.

    006:018 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

    006:019 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.

    006:020 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

    006:021 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
                    immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

    006:022 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 whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus
                    went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his
                    disciples were gone away alone;

    006:023 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the
                    place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given
                    thanks:)

    006:024 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
                    neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to
                    Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

    006:025 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
                    said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

    006:026 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
                    Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye
                    did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

    006:027 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.

    006:028 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work
                    the works of God?

    006:029 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
                    that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

    006:030 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then,
                    that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

    006:031 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
                    gave them bread from heaven to eat.

    006:032 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.

    006:033 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
                    giveth life unto the world.

    006:034 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

    006:035 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
                    cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me
                    shall never thirst.

    006:036 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
                    not.

    006:037 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
                    cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

    006:038 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
                    will of him that sent me.

    006:039 And this is the Father's will 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.

    006:040 And this is the will of him that sent me, 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.

    006:041 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
                    which came down from heaven.

    006:042 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
                    father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I
                    came down from heaven?

    006:043 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
                    yourselves.

    006:044 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
                    draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

    006:045 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.

    006:046 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
                    God, he hath seen the Father.

    006:047 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
                    everlasting life.

    006:048 I am that bread of life.

    006:049 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

    006:050 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
                    may eat thereof, and not die.

    006:051 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 life of the
                    world.

    006:052 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
                    this man give us his flesh to eat?

    006:053 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.

    006:054 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
                    life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

    006:055 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.

    006:056 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
                    me, and I in him.

    006:057 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father:
                    so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

    006:058 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
                    fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this
                    bread shall live for ever.

    006:059 These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
                    Capernaum.

    006:060 Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this,
                    said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

    006:061 When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,
                    he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

    006:062 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was
                    before?

    006:063 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
                    the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
                    life.

    006:064 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 him.

    006:065 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
                    unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

    006:066 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no
                    more with him.

    006:067 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?

    006:068 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
                    hast the words of eternal life.

    006:069 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
                    of the living God.

    006:070 Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of
                    you is a devil?

    006:071 He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was
                    that should betray him, being one of the twelve.

    007:001 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
                    walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

    007:002 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.

    007:003 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go
                    into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that
                    thou doest.

    007:004 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.

    007:005 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

    007:006 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your
                    time is alway ready.

    007:007 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify
                    of it, that the works thereof are evil.

    007:008 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for
                    my time is not yet full come.

    007:009 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in
                    Galilee.

    007:010 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto
                    the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

    007:011 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

    007:012 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him:
                    for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he
                    deceiveth the people.

    007:013 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

    007:014 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the
                    temple, and taught.

    007:015 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters,
                    having never learned?

    007:016 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
                    his that sent me.

    007:017 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
                    whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

    007:018 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.

    007:019 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth
                    the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

    007:020 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth
                    about to kill thee?

    007:021 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and
                    ye all marvel.

    007:022 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.

    007:023 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law
                    of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I
                    have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

    007:024 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
                    judgment.

    007:025 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they
                    seek to kill?

    007:026 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do
                    the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

    007:027 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh,
                    no man knoweth whence he is.

    007:028 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.

    007:029 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

    007:030 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,
                    because his hour was not yet come.

    007:031 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?

    007:032 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
                    concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent
                    officers to take him.

    007:033 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,
                    and then I go unto him that sent me.

    007:034 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am,
                    thither ye cannot come.

    007:035 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that
                    we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the
                    Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

    007:036 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?

    007:037 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
                    cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
                    drink.

    007:038 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of
                    his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

    007:039 (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.)

    007:040 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,
                    said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.

    007:041 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ
                    come out of Galilee?

    007:042 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of
                    David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

    007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him.

    007:044 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands
                    on him.

    007:045 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
                    they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

    007:046 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

    007:047 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

    007:048 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

    007:049 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

    007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
                    being one of them,)

    007:051 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what
                    he doeth?

    007:052 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
                    Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

    007:053 And every man went unto his own house.

    008:001 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

    008:002 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
                    all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
                    them.

    008:003 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
                    in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

    008:004 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
                    in the very act.

    008:005 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
                    but what sayest thou?

    008:006 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse
                    him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the
                    ground, as though he heard them not.

    008:007 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.

    008:008 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

    008:009 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.

    008:010 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,
                    he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath
                    no man condemned thee?

    008:011 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
                    condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

    008:012 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.

    008:013 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
                    thyself; thy record is not true.

    008:014 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
                    myself, 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.

    008:015 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

    008:016 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone,
                    but I and the Father that sent me.

    008:017 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men
                    is true.

    008:018 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent
                    me beareth witness of me.

    008:019 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
                    Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye
                    should have known my Father also.

    008:020 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
                    temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet
                    come.

    008:021 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.

    008:022 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
                    Whither I go, ye cannot come.

    008:023 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above:
                    ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

    008:024 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.

    008:025 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto
                    them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

    008:026 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.

    008:027 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

    008:028 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 Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

    008:029 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
                    alone; for I do always those things that please him.

    008:030 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

    008:031 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
                    continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

    008:032 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
                    free.

    008:033 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
                    bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

    008:034 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
                    committeth sin is the servant of sin.

    008:035 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
                    abideth ever.

    008:036 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
                    indeed.

    008:037 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
                    because my word hath no place in you.

    008:038 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
                    which ye have seen with your father.

    008:039 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.

    008:040 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.

    008:041 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
                    not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

    008:042 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
                    me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
                    myself, but he sent me.

    008:043 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
                    hear my word.

    008:044 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.

    008:045 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

    008:046 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
                    do ye not believe me?

    008:047 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
                    not, because ye are not of God.

    008:048 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
                    that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

    008:049 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
                    and ye do dishonour me.

    008:050 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
                    judgeth.

    008:051 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
                    shall never see death.

    008:052 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 my saying, he shall never taste of death.

    008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
                    the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

    008:054 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:

    008:055 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.

    008:056 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and
                    was glad.

    008:057 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
                    and hast thou seen Abraham?

    008:058 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
                    Abraham was, I am.

    008:059 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.

    009:001 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his
                    birth.

    009:002 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this
                    man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

    009:003 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
                    but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

    009:004 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day:
                    the night cometh, when no man can work.

    009:005 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

    009:006 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,

    009:007 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.

    009:008 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him
                    that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

    009:009 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he
                    said, I am he.

    009:010 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

    009:011 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,
                    and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of
                    Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

    009:012 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

    009:013 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

    009:014 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
                    opened his eyes.

    009:015 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.

    009:016 Therefore said some 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.

    009:017 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
                    that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

    009:018 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been
                    blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents
                    of him that had received his sight.

    009:019 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
                    born blind? how then doth he now see?

    009:020 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our
                    son, and that he was born blind:

    009:021 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.

    009:022 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 synagogue.

    009:023 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

    009:024 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto
                    him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

    009:025 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.

    009:026 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
                    he thine eyes?

    009:027 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?

    009:028 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
                    are Moses' disciples.

    009:029 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know
                    not from whence he is.

    009:030 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a
                    marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet
                    he hath opened mine eyes.

    009:031 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
                    worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

    009:032 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
                    eyes of one that was born blind.

    009:033 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.

    009:034 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
                    sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

    009:035 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
                    him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

    009:036 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
                    him?

    009:037 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
                    that talketh with thee.

    009:038 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.

    009:039 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
                    they which see not might see; and that they which see might be
                    made blind.

    009:040 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
                    words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?

    009:041 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
                    but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

    010:001 Verily, 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.

    010:002 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
                    sheep.

    010:003 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
                    he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

    010:004 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
                    and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

    010:005 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
                    for they know not the voice of strangers.

    010:006 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not
                    what things they were which he spake unto them.

    010:007 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
                    you, I am the door of the sheep.

    010:008 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
                    sheep did not hear them.

    010:009 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
                    and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

    010:010 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.

    010:011 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
                    the sheep.

    010:012 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 them, and scattereth
                    the sheep.

    010:013 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not
                    for the sheep.

    010:014 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
                    mine.

    010:015 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay
                    down my life for the sheep.

    010:016 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.

    010:017 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
                    that I might take it again.

    010:018 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
                    commandment have I received of my Father.

    010:019 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
                    sayings.

    010:020 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
                    ye him?

    010:021 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil.
                    Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

    010:022 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
                    was winter.

    010:023 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

    010:024 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.

    010:025 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
                    works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

    010:026 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
                    unto you.

    010:027 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

    010:028 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
                    perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

    010:029 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man
                    is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

    010:030 I and my Father are one.

    010:031 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

    010:032 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my
                    Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

    010:033 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
                    not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man,
                    makest thyself God.

    010:034 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye
                    are gods?

    010:035 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
                    the scripture cannot be broken;

    010:036 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?

    010:037 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

    010:038 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that
                    ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in
                    him.

    010:039 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of
                    their hand,

    010:040 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at
                    first baptized; and there he abode.

    010:041 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but
                    all things that John spake of this man were true.

    010:042 And many believed on him there.

    011:001 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the
                    town of Mary and her sister Martha.

    011:002 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
                    wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

    011:003 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
                    whom thou lovest is sick.

    011:004 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.

    011:005 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

    011:006 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
                    days still in the same place where he was.

    011:007 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into
                    Judaea again.

    011:008 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to
                    stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

    011:009 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
                    man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the
                    light of this world.

    011:010 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is
                    no light in him.

    011:011 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.

    011:012 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.

    011:013 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had
                    spoken of taking of rest in sleep.

    011:014 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

    011:015 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
                    intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

    011:016 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
                    fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

    011:017 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave
                    four days already.

    011:018 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
                    off:

    011:019 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
                    concerning their brother.

    011:020 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
                    and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.

    011:021 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
                    brother had not died.

    011:022 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
                    God will give it thee.

    011:023 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

    011:024 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
                    resurrection at the last day.

    011:025 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
                    that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

    011:026 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
                    Believest thou this?

    011:027 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
                    Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

    011:028 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.

    011:029 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto
                    him.

    011:030 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that
                    place where Martha met him.

    011:031 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, She goeth unto the grave to weep
                    there.

    011:032 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.

    011:033 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
                    weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was
                    troubled.

    011:034 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
                    come and see.

    011:035 Jesus wept.

    011:036 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

    011:037 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the
                    eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not
                    have died?

    011:038 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave.
                    It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

    011:039 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
                    that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh:
                    for he hath been dead four days.

    011:040 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
                    wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?

    011:041 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.

    011:042 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.

    011:043 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
                    Lazarus, come forth.

    011:044 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
                    graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
                    Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

    011:045 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the
                    things which Jesus did, believed on him.

    011:046 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told
                    them what things Jesus had done.

    011:047 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
                    and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.

    011:048 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the
                    Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.

    011:049 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that
                    same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,

    011:050 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
                    die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.

    011:051 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that
                    year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

    011:052 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
                    together in one the children of God that were scattered
                    abroad.

    011:053 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put
                    him to death.

    011:054 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 disciples.

    011:055 And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
                    the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify
                    themselves.

    011:056 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?

    011:057 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
                    commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should
                    shew it, that they might take him.

    012:001 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
                    Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the
                    dead.

    012:002 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
                    was one of them that sat at the table with him.

    012:003 Then took Mary a pound of ointment 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 ointment.

    012:004 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son,
                    which should betray him,

    012:005 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
                    given to the poor?

    012:006 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.

    012:007 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
                    hath she kept this.

    012:008 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
                    always.

    012:009 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and
                    they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see
                    Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

    012:010 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
                    also to death;

    012:011 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and
                    believed on Jesus.

    012:012 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when
                    they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

    012:013 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.

    012:014 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
                    is written,

    012:015 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
                    on an ass's colt.

    012:016 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.

    012:017 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus
                    out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.

    012:018 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard
                    that he had done this miracle.

    012:019 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how
                    ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

    012:020 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
                    worship at the feast:

    012:021 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
                    Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

    012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
                    tell Jesus.

    012:023 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
                    Son of man should be glorified.

    012:024 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
                    into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
                    bringeth forth much fruit.

    012:025 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
                    life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

    012:026 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there
                    shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
                    Father honour.

    012:027 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me
                    from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

    012:028 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven,
                    saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

    012:029 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that
                    it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.

    012:030 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
                    but for your sakes.

    012:031 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
                    this world be cast out.

    012:032 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
                    unto me.

    012:033 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

    012:034 The people answered him, 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?

    012:035 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.

    012:036 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.

    012:037 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
                    believed not on him:

    012:038 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,
                    which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to
                    whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

    012:039 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
                    again,

    012:040 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.

    012:041 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of
                    him.

    012:042 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him;
                    but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest
                    they should be put out of the synagogue:

    012:043 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

    012:044 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
                    on me, but on him that sent me.

    012:045 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.

    012:046 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
                    me should not abide in darkness.

    012:047 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
                    not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

    012:048 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
                    that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall
                    judge him in the last day.

    012:049 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
                    he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should
                    speak.

    012:050 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
                    whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
                    so I speak.

    013:001 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
                    hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the
                    Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved
                    them unto the end.

    013:002 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
                    heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;

    013:003 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
                    hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

    013:004 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
                    towel, and girded himself.

    013:005 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash
                    the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith
                    he was girded.

    013:006 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
                    dost thou wash my feet?

    013:007 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
                    now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

    013:008 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
                    answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

    013:009 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
                    my hands and my head.

    013:010 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash
                    his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
                    all.

    013:011 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are
                    not all clean.

    013:012 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
                    and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have
                    done to you?

    013:013 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

    013:014 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
                    also ought to wash one another's feet.

    013:015 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
                    done to you.

    013:016 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.

    013:017 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

    013:018 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 lifted up his heel against me.

    013:019 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass,
                    ye may believe that I am he.

    013:020 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I
                    send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that
                    sent me.

    013:021 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.

    013:022 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
                    spake.

    013:023 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
                    whom Jesus loved.

    013:024 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who
                    it should be of whom he spake.

    013:025 He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is
                    it?

    013:026 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I
                    have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to
                    Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

    013:027 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto
                    him, That thou doest, do quickly.

    013:028 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
                    unto him.

    013:029 For some of them 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.

    013:030 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it
                    was night.

    013:031 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of
                    man glorified, and God is glorified in him.

    013:032 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in
                    himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

    013:033 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall
                    seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot
                    come; so now I say to you.

    013:034 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
                    as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

    013:035 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye
                    have love one to another.

    013:036 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
                    answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but
                    thou shalt follow me afterwards.

    013:037 Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
                    will lay down my life for thy sake.

    013:038 Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
                    Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till
                    thou hast denied me thrice.

    014:001 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
                    also in me.

    014:002 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I
                    would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

    014:003 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
                    and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
                    also.

    014:004 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

    014:005 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
                    and how can we know the way?

    014:006 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
                    no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

    014:007 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
                    from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

    014:008 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it
                    sufficeth us.

    014:009 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
                    yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath
                    seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

    014:010 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
                    me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but
                    the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

    014:011 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
                    else believe me for the very works' sake.

    014:012 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
                    works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
                    shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

    014:013 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
                    the Father may be glorified in the Son.

    014:014 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

    014:015 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

    014:016 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
                    Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

    014:017 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
                    because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know
                    him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

    014:018 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

    014:019 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see
                    me: because I live, ye shall live also.

    014:020 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in
                    me, and I in you.

    014:021 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
                    loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
                    and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

    014:022 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou
                    wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

    014:023 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
                    keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come
                    unto him, and make our abode with him.

    014:024 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
                    which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

    014:025 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with
                    you.

    014:026 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.

    014:027 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.

    014:028 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 Father is greater than I.

    014:029 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
                    is come to pass, ye might believe.

    014:030 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
                    this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

    014:031 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the
                    Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go
                    hence.

    015:001 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

    015:002 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.

    015:003 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
                    you.

    015:004 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
                    itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye
                    abide in me.

    015:005 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.

    015:006 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
                    withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire,
                    and they are burned.

    015:007 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
                    what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

    015:008 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
                    shall ye be my disciples.

    015:009 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye
                    in my love.

    015:010 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as
                    I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

    015:011 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain
                    in you, and that your joy might be full.

    015:012 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
                    loved you.

    015:013 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
                    life for his friends.

    015:014 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

    015:015 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.

    015:016 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.

    015:017 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

    015:018 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it
                    hated you.

    015:019 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
                    because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of
                    the world, therefore the world hateth you.

    015:020 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not
                    greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
                    also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will
                    keep yours also.

    015:021 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
                    because they know not him that sent me.

    015:022 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
                    but now they have no cloak for their sin.

    015:023 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

    015:024 If I had not done among 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.

    015:025 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that
                    is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

    015:026 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:

    015:027 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me
                    from the beginning.

    016:001 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
                    offended.

    016:002 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
                    cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth
                    God service.

    016:003 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not
                    known the Father, nor me.

    016:004 But these things have I told 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.

    016:005 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
                    asketh me, Whither goest thou?

    016:006 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
                    filled your heart.

    016:007 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 him unto you.

    016:008 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
                    righteousness, and of judgment:

    016:009 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

    016:010 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
                    more;

    016:011 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

    016:012 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
                    them now.

    016:013 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
                    you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
                    whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will
                    shew you things to come.

    016:014 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
                    shew it unto you.

    016:015 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
                    that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    016:016 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.

    016:017 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this
                    that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see
                    me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and,
                    Because I go to the Father?

    016:018 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
                    while? we cannot tell what he saith.

    016:019 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?

    016:020 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.

    016:021 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.

    016:022 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.

    016:023 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say
                    unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he
                    will give it you.

    016:024 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
                    receive, that your joy may be full.

    016:025 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.

    016:026 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you,
                    that I will pray the Father for you:

    016:027 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me,
                    and have believed that I came out from God.

    016:028 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
                    again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

    016:029 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly,
                    and speakest no proverb.

    016:030 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 from God.

    016:031 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?

    016:032 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.

    016:033 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.

    017:001 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:

    017:002 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
                    give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

    017:003 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
                    true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

    017:004 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
                    which thou gavest me to do.

    017:005 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
                    the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

    017:006 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me
                    out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
                    and they have kept thy word.

    017:007 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given
                    me are of thee.

    017:008 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.

    017:009 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which
                    thou hast given me; for they are thine.

    017:010 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified
                    in them.

    017:011 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world,
                    and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name
                    those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we
                    are.

    017:012 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
                    those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is
                    lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be
                    fulfilled.

    017:013 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world,
                    that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

    017:014 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
                    because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the
                    world.

    017:015 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but
                    that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

    017:016 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

    017:017 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

    017:018 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
                    them into the world.

    017:019 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be
                    sanctified through the truth.

    017:020 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
                    believe on me through their word;

    017:021 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.

    017:022 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
                    they may be one, even as we are one:

    017:023 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.

    017:024 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, 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.

    017:025 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
                    known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

    017:026 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it:
                    that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and
                    I in them.

    018:001 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
                    disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the
                    which he entered, and his disciples.

    018:002 And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
                    ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

    018:003 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from
                    the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns
                    and torches and weapons.

    018:004 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him,
                    went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

    018:005 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I
                    am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

    018:006 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went
                    backward, and fell to the ground.

    018:007 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus
                    of Nazareth.

    018:008 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye
                    seek me, let these go their way:

    018:009 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them
                    which thou gavest me have I lost none.

    018:010 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.

    018:011 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:
                    the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

    018:012 Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took
                    Jesus, and bound him,

    018:013 And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to
                    Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.

    018:014 Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it
                    was expedient that one man should die for the people.

    018:015 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.

    018:016 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.

    018:017 Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not
                    thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.

    018:018 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.

    018:019 The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
                    doctrine.

    018:020 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught
                    in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always
                    resort; and in secret have I said nothing.

    018:021 Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
                    unto them: behold, they know what I said.

    018:022 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood
                    by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest
                    thou the high priest so?

    018:023 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the
                    evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?

    018:024 Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

    018:025 And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore
                    unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied
                    it, and said, I am not.

    018:026 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?

    018:027 Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.

    018:028 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment:
                    and it was early; and they themselves went not into the
                    judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they
                    might eat the passover.

    018:029 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation
                    bring ye against this man?

    018:030 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor,
                    we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

    018:031 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
                    according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is
                    not lawful for us to put any man to death:

    018:032 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
                    signifying what death he should die.

    018:033 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called
                    Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

    018:034 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did
                    others tell it thee of me?

    018:035 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
                    priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

    018:036 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom
                    were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I
                    should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not
                    from hence.

    018:037 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
                    answered, 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.

    018:038 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said
                    this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I
                    find in him no fault at all.

    018:039 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?

    018:040 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas.
                    Now Barabbas was a robber.

    019:001 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.

    019:002 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his
                    head, and they put on him a purple robe,

    019:003 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
                    their hands.

    019:004 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
                    Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find
                    no fault in him.

    019:005 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
                    purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!

    019:006 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they
                    cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto
                    them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in
                    him.

    019:007 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
                    to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

    019:008 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
                    afraid;

    019:009 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
                    Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

    019:010 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?

    019:011 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.

    019:012 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
                    Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not
                    Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh
                    against Caesar.

    019:013 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
                    forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is
                    called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.

    019:014 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
                    sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

    019:015 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.
                    Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
                    priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

    019:016 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And
                    they took Jesus, and led him away.

    019:017 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the
                    place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:

    019:018 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either
                    side one, and Jesus in the midst.

    019:019 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the
                    writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.

    019:020 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.

    019:021 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.

    019:022 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

    019:023 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
                    garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and
                    also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the
                    top throughout.

    019:024 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 raiment among them,
                    and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore
                    the soldiers did.

    019:025 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
                    mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary
                    Magdalene.

    019:026 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing
                    by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
                    son!

    019:027 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
                    that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

    019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
                    accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I
                    thirst.

    019:029 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.

    019:030 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
                    finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

    019:031 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.

    019:032 Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and
                    of the other which was crucified with him.

    019:033 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already,
                    they brake not his legs:

    019:034 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
                    forthwith came there out blood and water.

    019:035 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he
                    knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

    019:036 For these things were done, that the scripture should be
                    fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

    019:037 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom
                    they pierced.

    019:038 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of
                    Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that
                    he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him
                    leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

    019:039 And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to
                    Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes,
                    about an hundred pound weight.

    019:040 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.

    019:041 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
                    and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet
                    laid.

    019:042 There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
                    preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

    020:001 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it
                    was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
                    away from the sepulchre.

    020:002 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
                    disciple, 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.

    020:003 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
                    to the sepulchre.

    020:004 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun
                    Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

    020:005 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes
                    lying; yet went he not in.

    020:006 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
                    sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

    020:007 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
                    linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

    020:008 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
                    sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

    020:009 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
                    again from the dead.

    020:010 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

    020:011 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she
                    wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

    020:012 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.

    020:013 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.

    020:014 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw
                    Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

    020:015 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
                    thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
                    Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
                    laid him, and I will take him away.

    020:016 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto
                    him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

    020:017 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended
                    to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I
                    ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and
                    your God.

    020:018 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
                    the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

    020:019 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
                    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 them, Peace be unto you.

    020:020 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.

    020:021 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
                    hath sent me, even so send I you.

    020:022 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto
                    them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

    020:023 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
                    whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

    020:024 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
                    them when Jesus came.

    020:025 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the
                    LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands
                    the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of
                    the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not
                    believe.

    020:026 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
                    Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
                    stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

    020:027 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.

    020:028 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

    020:029 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou
                    hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet
                    have believed.

    020:030 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
                    disciples, which are not written in this book:

    020:031 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the
                    Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life
                    through his name.

    021:001 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples
                    at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

    021:002 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
                    and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and
                    two other of his disciples.

    021:003 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto
                    him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a
                    ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

    021:004 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
                    but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

    021:005 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They
                    answered him, No.

    021:006 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
                    ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they
                    were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

    021:007 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.

    021:008 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
                    not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
                    dragging the net with fishes.

    021:009 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
                    coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

    021:010 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
                    caught.

    021:011 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.

    021:012 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
                    disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
                    Lord.

    021:013 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish
                    likewise.

    021:014 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
                    disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

    021:015 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son
                    of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him,
                    Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
                    Feed my lambs.

    021:016 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
                    lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
                    that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

    021:017 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 him, Lord, thou knowest
                    all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
                    him, Feed my sheep.

    021:018 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
                    girdest thyself, and walkedst 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 wouldest
                    not.

    021:019 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God.
                    And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.

    021:020 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved
                    following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and
                    said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

    021:021 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man
                    do?

    021:022 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
                    what is that to thee? follow thou me.

    021:023 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that
                    disciple 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?

    021:024 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and
                    wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

    021:025 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.

    Book 44 Acts



    001:001 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
                    Jesus began both to do and teach,

    001:002 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through
                    the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom
                    he had chosen:

    001:003 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many
                    infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
                    of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

    001:004 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that
                    they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
                    promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

    001:005 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
                    with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

    001:006 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
                    saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
                    to Israel?

    001:007 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.

    001:008 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.

    001:009 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
                    taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

    001:010 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
                    behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

    001:011 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
                    into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
                    heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go
                    into heaven.

    001:012 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called
                    Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.

    001:013 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
                    where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
                    Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of
                    Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

    001:014 These all continued with one accord in prayer and
                    supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus,
                    and with his brethren.

    001:015 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the
                    disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about
                    an hundred and twenty,)

    001:016 Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been
                    fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake
                    before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took
                    Jesus.

    001:017 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
                    ministry.

    001:018 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
                    and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all
                    his bowels gushed out.

    001:019 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.

    001:020 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
                    desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let
                    another take.

    001:021 Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
                    time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

    001:022 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.

    001:023 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
                    surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

    001:024 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
                    hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

    001:025 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
                    which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own
                    place.

    001:026 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
                    Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

    002:001 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
                    with one accord in one place.

    002:002 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
                    mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were
                    sitting.

    002:003 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
                    and it sat upon each of them.

    002:004 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
                    speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

    002:005 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
                    every nation under heaven.

    002:006 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
                    and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak
                    in his own language.

    002:007 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
                    Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

    002:008 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
                    born?

    002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
                    Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and
                    Asia,

    002:010 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya
                    about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

    002:011 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
                    wonderful works of God.

    002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to
                    another, What meaneth this?

    002:013 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

    002:014 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice,
                    and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at
                    Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

    002:015 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the
                    third hour of the day.

    002:016 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

    002:017 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
                    pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your
                    daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see
                    visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

    002:018 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in
                    those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

    002:019 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the
                    earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

    002:020 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
                    blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

    002:021 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the
                    name of the Lord shall be saved.

    002:022 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:

    002:023 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
                    foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have
                    crucified and slain:

    002:024 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
                    because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

    002:025 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always
                    before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not
                    be moved:

    002:026 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
                    moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

    002:027 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
                    suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

    002:028 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make
                    me full of joy with thy countenance.

    002:029 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the
                    patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his
                    sepulchre is with us unto this day.

    002:030 Therefore being a prophet, and 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 on his throne;

    002:031 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
                    that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see
                    corruption.

    002:032 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

    002:033 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.

    002:034 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith
                    himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right
                    hand,

    002:035 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

    002:036 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
                    hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
                    and Christ.

    002:037 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,
                    and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
                    brethren, what shall we do?

    002:038 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.

    002:039 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.

    002:040 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,
                    Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

    002:041 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
                    same day there were added unto them about three thousand
                    souls.

    002:042 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
                    fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

    002:043 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were
                    done by the apostles.

    002:044 And all that believed were together, and had all things
                    common;

    002:045 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all
                    men, as every man had need.

    002:046 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
                    breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with
                    gladness and singleness of heart,

    002:047 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the
                    Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

    003:001 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the
                    hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

    003:002 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried,
                    whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called
                    Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

    003:003 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an
                    alms.

    003:004 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look
                    on us.

    003:005 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
                    them.

    003:006 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.

    003:007 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and
                    immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

    003:008 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them
                    into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

    003:009 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

    003:010 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the
                    Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder
                    and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

    003:011 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all
                    the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called
                    Solomon's, greatly wondering.

    003:012 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
                    man to walk?

    003:013 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our
                    fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up,
                    and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
                    determined to let him go.

    003:014 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
                    murderer to be granted unto you;

    003:015 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the
                    dead; whereof we are witnesses.

    003:016 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.

    003:017 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as
                    did also your rulers.

    003:018 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of
                    all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so
                    fulfilled.

    003:019 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
                    blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
                    presence of the Lord.

    003:020 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto
                    you:

    003:021 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of
                    all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy
                    prophets since the world began.

    003:022 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the
                    Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto
                    me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say
                    unto you.

    003:023 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not
                    hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

    003:024 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
                    after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these
                    days.

    003:025 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.

    003:026 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him
                    to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his
                    iniquities.

    004:001 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the
                    captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,

    004:002 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached
                    through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

    004:003 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the
                    next day: for it was now eventide.

    004:004 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the
                    number of the men was about five thousand.

    004:005 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and
                    elders, and scribes,

    004:006 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.

    004:007 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what
                    power, or by what name, have ye done this?

    004:008 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye
                    rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,

    004:009 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
                    impotent man, by what means he is made whole;

    004:010 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,
                    that by the name 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.

    004:011 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
                    which is become the head of the corner.

    004:012 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
                    other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
                    saved.

    004:013 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
                    perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they
                    marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been
                    with Jesus.

    004:014 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them,
                    they could say nothing against it.

    004:015 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the
                    council, they conferred among themselves,

    004:016 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.

    004:017 But that it spread no further among the people, let us
                    straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man
                    in this name.

    004:018 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all
                    nor teach in the name of Jesus.

    004:019 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.

    004:020 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and
                    heard.

    004:021 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.

    004:022 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of
                    healing was shewed.

    004:023 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported
                    all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.

    004:024 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God
                    with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made
                    heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:

    004:025 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
                    heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

    004:026 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
                    together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

    004:027 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast
                    anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles,
                    and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

    004:028 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
                    before to be done.

    004:029 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
                    servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

    004:030 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and
                    wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

    004:031 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.

    004:032 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and
                    of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things
                    which he possessed was his own; but they had all things
                    common.

    004:033 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
                    resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
                    all.

    004:034 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,

    004:035 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was
                    made unto every man according as he had need.

    004:036 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which
                    is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and
                    of the country of Cyprus,

    004:037 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at
                    the apostles' feet.

    005:001 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold
                    a possession,

    005:002 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.

    005:003 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to
                    lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of
                    the land?

    005:004 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.

    005:005 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the
                    ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these
                    things.

    005:006 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out,
                    and buried him.

    005:007 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his
                    wife, not knowing what was done, came in.

    005:008 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land
                    for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.

    005:009 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed
                    together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of
                    them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall
                    carry thee out.

    005:010 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the
                    ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and,
                    carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.

    005:011 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as
                    heard these things.

    005:012 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.

    005:013 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the
                    people magnified them.

    005:014 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both
                    of men and women.)

    005:015 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets,
                    and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the
                    shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

    005:016 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.

    005:017 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,

    005:018 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the
                    common prison.

    005:019 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors,
                    and brought them forth, and said,

    005:020 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words
                    of this life.

    005:021 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.

    005:022 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison,
                    they returned and told,

    005:023 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.

    005:024 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.

    005:025 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye
                    put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the
                    people.

    005:026 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
                    without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should
                    have been stoned.

    005:027 And when they had brought them, they set them before the
                    council: and the high priest asked them,

    005:028 Saying, Did not we 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.

    005:029 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought
                    to obey God rather than men.

    005:030 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
                    hanged on a tree.

    005:031 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.

    005:032 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
                    Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

    005:033 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took
                    counsel to slay them.

    005:034 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
                    Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the
                    people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little
                    space;

    005:035 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves
                    what ye intend to do as touching these men.

    005:036 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be
                    somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined
                    themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him,
                    were scattered, and brought to nought.

    005:037 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.

    005:038 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
                    alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will
                    come to nought:

    005:039 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
                    found even to fight against God.

    005:040 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles,
                    and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in
                    the name of Jesus, and let them go.

    005:041 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
                    that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

    005:042 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
                    to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

    006:001 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.

    006:002 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto
                    them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word
                    of God, and serve tables.

    006:003 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest
                    report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint
                    over this business.

    006:004 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the
                    ministry of the word.

    006:005 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 Timon, and Parmenas,
                    and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

    006:006 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed,
                    they laid their hands on them.

    006:007 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples
                    multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the
                    priests were obedient to the faith.

    006:008 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
                    miracles among the people.

    006:009 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the
                    synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians,
                    and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

    006:010 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by
                    which he spake.

    006:011 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak
                    blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.

    006:012 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the
                    scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to
                    the council,

    006:013 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not
                    to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the
                    law:

    006:014 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall
                    destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses
                    delivered us.

    006:015 And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him,
                    saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

    007:001 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

    007:002 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of
                    glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in
                    Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

    007:003 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy
                    kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

    007:004 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
                    Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed
                    him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.

    007:005 And he gave him none inheritance 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.

    007:006 And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a
                    strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage,
                    and entreat them evil four hundred years.

    007:007 And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge,
                    said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me
                    in this place.

    007:008 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham
                    begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac
                    begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.

    007:009 And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:
                    but God was with him,

    007:010 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.

    007:011 Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and
                    Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no
                    sustenance.

    007:012 But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
                    our fathers first.

    007:013 And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren;
                    and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

    007:014 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all
                    his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

    007:015 So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,

    007:016 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.

    007:017 But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had
                    sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

    007:018 Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.

    007:019 The same 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.

    007:020 In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
                    nourished up in his father's house three months:

    007:021 And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
                    nourished him for her own son.

    007:022 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and
                    was mighty in words and in deeds.

    007:023 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart
                    to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

    007:024 And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and
                    avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:

    007:025 For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that
                    God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.

    007:026 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?

    007:027 But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying,
                    Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

    007:028 Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?

    007:029 Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land
                    of Madian, where he begat two sons.

    007:030 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in
                    the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame
                    of fire in a bush.

    007:031 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew
                    near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,

    007:032 Saying, I am 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.

    007:033 Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet:
                    for the place where thou standest is holy ground.

    007:034 I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is
                    in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to
                    deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

    007:035 This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler
                    and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a
                    deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in
                    the bush.

    007:036 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and
                    signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the
                    wilderness forty years.

    007:037 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A
                    prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your
                    brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

    007:038 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the
                    angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our
                    fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

    007:039 To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them,
                    and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,

    007:040 Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for
                    this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot
                    not what is become of him.

    007:041 And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto
                    the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.

    007:042 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of
                    heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye
                    house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and
                    sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

    007:043 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your
                    god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will
                    carry you away beyond Babylon.

    007:044 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,
                    as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make
                    it according to the fashion that he had seen.

    007:045 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus
                    into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before
                    the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

    007:046 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle
                    for the God of Jacob.

    007:047 But Solomon built him an house.

    007:048 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
                    as saith the prophet,

    007:049 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?

    007:050 Hath not my hand made all these things?

    007:051 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do
                    always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

    007:052 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 betrayers and
                    murderers:

    007:053 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and
                    have not kept it.

    007:054 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and
                    they gnashed on him with their teeth.

    007:055 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly
                    into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on
                    the right hand of God,

    007:056 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
                    standing on the right hand of God.

    007:057 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears,
                    and ran upon him with one accord,

    007:058 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.

    007:059 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord
                    Jesus, receive my spirit.

    007:060 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.

    008:001 And Saul was consenting unto 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 Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

    008:002 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great
                    lamentation over him.

    008:003 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every
                    house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.

    008:004 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where
                    preaching the word.

    008:005 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
                    Christ unto them.

    008:006 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things
                    which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he
                    did.

    008:007 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many
                    that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies,
                    and that were lame, were healed.

    008:008 And there was great joy in that city.

    008:009 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:

    008:010 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest,
                    saying, This man is the great power of God.

    008:011 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had
                    bewitched them with sorceries.

    008:012 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.

    008:013 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he
                    continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles
                    and signs which were done.

    008:014 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
                    Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them
                    Peter and John:

    008:015 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they
                    might receive the Holy Ghost:

    008:016 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
                    baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

    008:017 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy
                    Ghost.

    008:018 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles'
                    hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

    008:019 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
                    hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

    008:020 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because
                    thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with
                    money.

    008:021 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart
                    is not right in the sight of God.

    008:022 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if
                    perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

    008:023 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in
                    the bond of iniquity.

    008:024 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me,
                    that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

    008:025 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the
                    Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many
                    villages of the Samaritans.

    008:026 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise,
                    and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from
                    Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

    008:027 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,

    008:028 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the
                    prophet.

    008:029 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
                    this chariot.

    008:030 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet
                    Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

    008:031 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And
                    he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

    008:032 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:

    008:033 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
                    declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

    008:034 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom
                    speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

    008:035 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,
                    and preached unto him Jesus.

    008:036 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?

    008:037 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
                    mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ
                    is the Son of God.

    008:038 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went
                    down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he
                    baptized him.

    008:039 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the
                    Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and
                    he went on his way rejoicing.

    008:040 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he
                    preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

    009:001 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against
                    the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

    009:002 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.

    009:003 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
                    shined round about him a light from heaven:

    009:004 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
                    Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

    009:005 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus
                    whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the
                    pricks.

    009:006 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou
                    have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into
                    the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

    009:007 And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing
                    a voice, but seeing no man.

    009:008 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened,
                    he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him
                    into Damascus.

    009:009 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor
                    drink.

    009:010 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.

    009:011 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,

    009:012 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and
                    putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

    009:013 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
                    how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

    009:014 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all
                    that call on thy name.

    009:015 But the Lord said unto him, 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:

    009:016 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my
                    name's sake.

    009:017 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 me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled
                    with the Holy Ghost.

    009:018 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
                    scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was
                    baptized.

    009:019 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was
                    Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

    009:020 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he
                    is the Son of God.

    009:021 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he
                    that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem,
                    and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them
                    bound unto the chief priests?

    009:022 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the
                    Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very
                    Christ.

    009:023 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel
                    to kill him:

    009:024 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the
                    gates day and night to kill him.

    009:025 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the
                    wall in a basket.

    009:026 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.

    009:027 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 boldly at
                    Damascus in the name of Jesus.

    009:028 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

    009:029 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
                    disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay
                    him.

    009:030 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
                    Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

    009:031 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee
                    and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the
                    Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

    009:032 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters,
                    he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

    009:033 And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept
                    his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

    009:034 And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
                    whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

    009:035 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to
                    the Lord.

    009:036 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which
                    by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of
                    good works and almsdeeds which she did.

    009:037 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.

    009:038 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.

    009:039 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they
                    brought him 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.

    009:040 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.

    009:041 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had
                    called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

    009:042 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in
                    the Lord.

    009:043 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with
                    one Simon a tanner.

    010:001 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
                    centurion of the band called the Italian band,

    010:002 A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house,
                    which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.

    010:003 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day
                    an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him,
                    Cornelius.

    010:004 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is
                    it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are
                    come up for a memorial before God.

    010:005 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose
                    surname is Peter:

    010:006 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
                    side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

    010:007 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
                    called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of
                    them that waited on him continually;

    010:008 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent
                    them to Joppa.

    010:009 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh
                    unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about
                    the sixth hour:

    010:010 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while
                    they made ready, he fell into a trance,

    010:011 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon
                    him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners,
                    and let down to the earth:

    010:012 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and
                    wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

    010:013 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

    010:014 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing
                    that is common or unclean.

    010:015 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God
                    hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

    010:016 This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again
                    into heaven.

    010:017 Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he
                    had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from
                    Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before
                    the gate,

    010:018 And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter,
                    were lodged there.

    010:019 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
                    Behold, three men seek thee.

    010:020 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting
                    nothing: for I have sent them.

    010:021 Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from
                    Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the
                    cause wherefore ye are come?

    010:022 And they said, Cornelius 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.

    010:023 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow
                    Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa
                    accompanied him.

    010:024 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius
                    waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and
                    near friends.

    010:025 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down
                    at his feet, and worshipped him.

    010:026 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a
                    man.

    010:027 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that
                    were come together.

    010:028 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 common or unclean.

    010:029 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?

    010:030 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this
                    hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold,
                    a man stood before me in bright clothing,

    010:031 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are
                    had in remembrance in the sight of God.

    010:032 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname
                    is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by
                    the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.

    010:033 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done
                    that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present
                    before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.

    010:034 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
                    that God is no respecter of persons:

    010:035 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
                    righteousness, is accepted with him.

    010:036 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
                    peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

    010:037 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all
                    Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John
                    preached;

    010:038 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
                    with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that
                    were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

    010:039 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the
                    land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged
                    on a tree:

    010:040 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

    010:041 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before God,
                    even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from
                    the dead.

    010:042 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
                    that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of
                    quick and dead.

    010:043 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
                    whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

    010:044 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
                    them which heard the word.

    010:045 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,
                    as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also
                    was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

    010:046 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
                    answered Peter,

    010:047 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
                    which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

    010:048 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
                    Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

    011:001 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that
                    the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

    011:002 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
                    circumcision contended with him,

    011:003 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
                    with them.

    011:004 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and
                    expounded it by order unto them, saying,

    011:005 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:

    011:006 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 of the air.

    011:007 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and
                    eat.

    011:008 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
                    at any time entered into my mouth.

    011:009 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
                    cleansed, that call not thou common.

    011:010 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again
                    into heaven.

    011:011 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come
                    unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

    011:012 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
                    Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered
                    into the man's house:

    011:013 And he shewed 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;

    011:014 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house
                    shall be saved.

    011:015 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us
                    at the beginning.

    011:016 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John
                    indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the
                    Holy Ghost.

    011:017 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto
                    us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I
                    could withstand God?

    011:018 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and
                    glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles
                    granted repentance unto life.

    011:019 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that
                    arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus,
                    and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews
                    only.

    011:020 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when
                    they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching
                    the LORD Jesus.

    011:021 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
                    believed, and turned unto the Lord.

    011:022 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
                    which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he
                    should go as far as Antioch.

    011:023 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
                    and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would
                    cleave unto the Lord.

    011:024 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of
                    faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

    011:025 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

    011:026 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it
                    came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with
                    the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were
                    called Christians first in Antioch.

    011:027 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

    011:028 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.

    011:029 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
                    determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in
                    Judaea:

    011:030 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of
                    Barnabas and Saul.

    012:001 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands
                    to vex certain of the church.

    012:002 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

    012:003 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
                    to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)

    012:004 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and
                    delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him;
                    intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

    012:005 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made
                    without ceasing of the church unto God for him.

    012:006 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night
                    Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two
                    chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.

    012:007 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 him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell
                    off from his hands.

    012:008 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 me.

    012:009 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was
                    true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

    012:010 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came
                    unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to
                    them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on
                    through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

    012:011 And when Peter was come 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.

    012:012 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of
                    Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many
                    were gathered together praying.

    012:013 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to
                    hearken, named Rhoda.

    012:014 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.

    012:015 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly
                    affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

    012:016 But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the
                    door, and saw him, they were astonished.

    012:017 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 unto James, and to
                    the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.

    012:018 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the
                    soldiers, what was become of Peter.

    012:019 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he
                    examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to
                    death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there
                    abode.

    012:020 And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre 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.

    012:021 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon
                    his throne, and made an oration unto them.

    012:022 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god,
                    and not of a man.

    012:023 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he
                    gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up
                    the ghost.

    012:024 But the word of God grew and multiplied.

    012:025 And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
                    fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose
                    surname was Mark.

    013:001 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain
                    prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called
                    Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been
                    brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

    013:002 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.

    013:003 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on
                    them, they sent them away.

    013:004 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto
                    Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

    013:005 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.

    013:006 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they
                    found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name
                    was Barjesus:

    013:007 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a
                    prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to
                    hear the word of God.

    013:008 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
                    withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the
                    faith.

    013:009 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy
                    Ghost, set his eyes on him.

    013:010 And said, O 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?

    013:011 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.

    013:012 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being
                    astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

    013:013 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to
                    Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to
                    Jerusalem.

    013:014 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in
                    Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and
                    sat down.

    013:015 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.

    013:016 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of
                    Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

    013:017 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 arm brought he them out of it.

    013:018 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in
                    the wilderness.

    013:019 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
                    Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

    013:020 And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of
                    four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

    013:021 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.

    013:022 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to
                    be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said,
                    I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own
                    heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

    013:023 Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised
                    unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

    013:024 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of
                    repentance to all the people of Israel.

    013:025 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that
                    I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me,
                    whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

    013:026 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and
                    whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this
                    salvation sent.

    013:027 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, 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.

    013:028 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired
                    they Pilate that he should be slain.

    013:029 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
                    took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

    013:030 But God raised him from the dead:

    013:031 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from
                    Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

    013:032 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise
                    which was made unto the fathers,

    013:033 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he
                    hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the
                    second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

    013:034 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no
                    more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will
                    give you the sure mercies of David.

    013:035 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not
                    suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

    013:036 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:

    013:037 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

    013:038 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through
                    this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

    013:039 And by him all that believe are justified from all things,
                    from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

    013:040 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of
                    in the prophets;

    013:041 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a
                    work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe,
                    though a man declare it unto you.

    013:042 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles
                    besought that these words might be preached to them the next
                    sabbath.

    013:043 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.

    013:044 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together
                    to hear the word of God.

    013:045 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
                    envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by
                    Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

    013:046 Then Paul and Barnabas 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.

    013:047 For so hath the Lord commanded 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.

    013:048 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.

    013:049 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the
                    region.

    013:050 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.

    013:051 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and
                    came unto Iconium.

    013:052 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy
                    Ghost.

    014:001 And it came to pass in Iconium, 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.

    014:002 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made
                    their minds evil affected against the brethren.

    014:003 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord,
                    which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted
                    signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

    014:004 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with
                    the Jews, and part with the apostles.

    014:005 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,

    014:006 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities
                    of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

    014:007 And there they preached the gospel.

    014:008 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
                    being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:

    014:009 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
                    perceiving that he had faith to be healed,

    014:010 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he
                    leaped and walked.

    014:011 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up
                    their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are
                    come down to us in the likeness of men.

    014:012 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
                    because he was the chief speaker.

    014:013 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city,
                    brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done
                    sacrifice with the people.

    014:014 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they
                    rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

    014:015 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 from these vanities unto the living God, which made
                    heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are
                    therein:

    014:016 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
                    ways.

    014:017 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he
                    did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons,
                    filling our hearts with food and gladness.

    014:018 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that
                    they had not done sacrifice unto them.

    014:019 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium,
                    who persuaded the people, and having stoned Paul, drew him out
                    of the city, supposing he had been dead.

    014:020 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up,
                    and came into the city: and the next day he departed with
                    Barnabas to Derbe.

    014:021 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
                    taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium,
                    and Antioch,

    014:022 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to
                    continue in the faith, and that we must through much
                    tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

    014:023 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
                    had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on
                    whom they believed.

    014:024 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
                    Pamphylia.

    014:025 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down
                    into Attalia:

    014:026 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
                    recommended to the grace of God for the work which they
                    fulfilled.

    014:027 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together,
                    they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had
                    opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.

    014:028 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

    015:001 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the
                    brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner
                    of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

    015:002 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
                    disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas,
                    and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the
                    apostles and elders about this question.

    015:003 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.

    015:004 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.

    015:005 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
                    believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and
                    to command them to keep the law of Moses.

    015:006 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of
                    this matter.

    015:007 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, that the Gentiles by my
                    mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

    015:008 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
                    them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

    015:009 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their
                    hearts by faith.

    015:010 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?

    015:011 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ
                    we shall be saved, even as they.

    015:012 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to
                    Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had
                    wrought among the Gentiles by them.

    015:013 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying,
                    Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

    015:014 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
                    Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

    015:015 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,

    015:016 After this I will return, 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:

    015:017 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the
                    Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who
                    doeth all these things.

    015:018 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the
                    world.

    015:019 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from
                    among the Gentiles are turned to God:

    015:020 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions
                    of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and
                    from blood.

    015:021 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him,
                    being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

    015:022 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church,
                    to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul
                    and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief
                    men among the brethren:

    015:023 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.

    015:024 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from
                    us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls,
                    saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we
                    gave no such commandment:

    015:025 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to
                    send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

    015:026 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord
                    Jesus Christ.

    015:027 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
                    you the same things by mouth.

    015:028 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon
                    you no greater burden than these necessary things;

    015:029 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood,
                    and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if
                    ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

    015:030 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when
                    they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the
                    epistle:

    015:031 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

    015:032 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted
                    the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.

    015:033 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in
                    peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

    015:034 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

    015:035 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and
                    preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

    015:036 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again
                    and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached
                    the word of the LORD, and see how they do.

    015:037 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname
                    was Mark.

    015:038 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed
                    from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

    015:039 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they
                    departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took
                    Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

    015:040 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the
                    brethren unto the grace of God.

    015:041 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the
                    churches.

    016:001 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain
                    disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain
                    woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a
                    Greek:

    016:002 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra
                    and Iconium.

    016:003 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and
                    circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those
                    quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

    016:004 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the
                    decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and
                    elders which were at Jerusalem.

    016:005 And so were the churches established in the faith, and
                    increased in number daily.

    016:006 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,

    016:007 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into
                    Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

    016:008 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

    016:009 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.

    016:010 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.

    016:011 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course
                    to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

    016:012 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.

    016:013 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side,
                    where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake
                    unto the women which resorted thither.

    016:014 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.

    016:015 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us,
                    saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come
                    into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.

    016:016 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel
                    possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought
                    her masters much gain by soothsaying:

    016:017 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men
                    are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the
                    way of salvation.

    016:018 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned
                    and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus
                    Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

    016:019 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,

    016:020 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being
                    Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

    016:021 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive,
                    neither to observe, being Romans.

    016:022 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the
                    magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat
                    them.

    016:023 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them
                    into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:

    016:024 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner
                    prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.

    016:025 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto
                    God: and the prisoners heard them.

    016:026 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
                    foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the
                    doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

    016:027 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.

    016:028 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm:
                    for we are all here.

    016:029 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling,
                    and fell down before Paul and Silas,

    016:030 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
                    saved?

    016:031 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou
                    shalt be saved, and thy house.

    016:032 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that
                    were in his house.

    016:033 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their
                    stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

    016:034 And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat
                    before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
                    house.

    016:035 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants,
                    saying, Let those men go.

    016:036 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The
                    magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and
                    go in peace.

    016:037 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly
                    uncondemned, 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.

    016:038 And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and
                    they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.

    016:039 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and
                    desired them to depart out of the city.

    016:040 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.

    017:001 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia,
                    they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

    017:002 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three
                    sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

    017:003 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.

    017:004 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas;
                    and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief
                    women not a few.

    017:005 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.

    017:006 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 come hither also;

    017:007 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the
                    decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one
                    Jesus.

    017:008 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when
                    they heard these things.

    017:009 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other,
                    they let them go.

    017:010 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night
                    unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the
                    Jews.

    017:011 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.

    017:012 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women
                    which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

    017:013 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word
                    of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also,
                    and stirred up the people.

    017:014 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it
                    were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

    017:015 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and
                    receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come
                    to him with all speed, they departed.

    017:016 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
                    stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

    017:017 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.

    017:018 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the
                    Stoicks, 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
                    resurrection.

    017:019 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May
                    we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

    017:020 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would
                    know therefore what these things mean.

    017:021 (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.)

    017:022 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.

    017:023 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an
                    altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom
                    therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

    017:024 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;

    017:025 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed
                    any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all
                    things;

    017:026 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on
                    all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times
                    before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

    017:027 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after
                    him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

    017:028 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.

    017:029 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to
                    think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone,
                    graven by art and man's device.

    017:030 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
                    commandeth all men every where to repent:

    017:031 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.

    017:032 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some
                    mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
                    matter.

    017:033 So Paul departed from among them.

    017:034 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the
                    which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris,
                    and others with them.

    018:001 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to
                    Corinth;

    018:002 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately
                    come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that
                    Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came
                    unto them.

    018:003 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
                    wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.

    018:004 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded
                    the Jews and the Greeks.

    018:005 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul
                    was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that
                    Jesus was Christ.

    018:006 And when they opposed themselves, 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.

    018:007 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.

    018:008 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.

    018:009 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not
                    afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:

    018:010 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee:
                    for I have much people in this city.

    018:011 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the
                    word of God among them.

    018:012 And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
                    insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to
                    the judgment seat,

    018:013 Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to
                    the law.

    018:014 And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said
                    unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked
                    lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:

    018:015 But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law,
                    look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

    018:016 And he drave them from the judgment seat.

    018:017 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the
                    synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio
                    cared for none of those things.

    018:018 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 him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in
                    Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

    018:019 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself
                    entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.

    018:020 When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he
                    consented not;

    018:021 But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this
                    feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto
                    you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.

    018:022 And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted
                    the church, he went down to Antioch.

    018:023 And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went
                    over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order,
                    strengthening all the disciples.

    018:024 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
                    eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.

    018:025 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, knowing only the baptism of John.

    018:026 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when
                    Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and
                    expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

    018:027 And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren
                    wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he
                    was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:

    018:028 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly,
                    shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.

    019:001 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
                    having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and
                    finding certain disciples,

    019:002 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
                    believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard
                    whether there be any Holy Ghost.

    019:003 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And
                    they said, Unto John's baptism.

    019:004 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
                    repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe
                    on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.

    019:005 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the
                    Lord Jesus.

    019:006 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost
                    came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

    019:007 And all the men were about twelve.

    019:008 And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space
                    of three months, disputing and persuading the things
                    concerning the kingdom of God.

    019:009 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.

    019:010 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.

    019:011 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:

    019:012 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.

    019:013 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them
                    to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD
                    Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.

    019:014 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of
                    the priests, which did so.

    019:015 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul
                    I know; but who are ye?

    019:016 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
                    overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled
                    out of that house naked and wounded.

    019:017 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at
                    Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord
                    Jesus was magnified.

    019:018 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their
                    deeds.

    019:019 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books
                    together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the
                    price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.

    019:020 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

    019:021 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.

    019:022 So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto
                    him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for
                    a season.

    019:023 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.

    019:024 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made
                    silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the
                    craftsmen;

    019:025 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation,
                    and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.

    019:026 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:

    019:027 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 destroyed,
                    whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

    019:028 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath,
                    and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

    019:029 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.

    019:030 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the
                    disciples suffered him not.

    019:031 And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent
                    unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself
                    into the theatre.

    019:032 Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the
                    assembly was confused: and the more part knew not wherefore
                    they were come together.

    019:033 And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting
                    him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would
                    have made his defence unto the people.

    019:034 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.

    019:035 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?

    019:036 Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye
                    ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.

    019:037 For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither
                    robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.

    019:038 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him,
                    have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are
                    deputies: let them implead one another.

    019:039 But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall
                    be determined in a lawful assembly.

    019:040 For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's
                    uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of
                    this concourse.

    019:041 And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

    020:001 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the
                    disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into
                    Macedonia.

    020:002 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
                    exhortation, he came into Greece,

    020:003 And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for
                    him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return
                    through Macedonia.

    020:004 And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of
                    the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of
                    Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

    020:005 These going before tarried for us at Troas.

    020:006 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
                    bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we
                    abode seven days.

    020:007 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came
                    together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to
                    depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

    020:008 And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they
                    were gathered together.

    020:009 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.

    020:010 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said,
                    Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

    020:011 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and
                    eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he
                    departed.

    020:012 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
                    comforted.

    020:013 And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there
                    intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding
                    himself to go afoot.

    020:014 And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to
                    Mitylene.

    020:015 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 came to Miletus.

    020:016 For Paul had determined 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 Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

    020:017 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of
                    the church.

    020:018 And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know,
                    from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I
                    have been with you at all seasons,

    020:019 Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many
                    tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait
                    of the Jews:

    020:020 And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but
                    have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house
                    to house,

    020:021 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
                    repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

    020:022 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
                    knowing the things that shall befall me there:

    020:023 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that
                    bonds and afflictions abide me.

    020:024 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear
                    unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and
                    the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to
                    testify the gospel of the grace of God.

    020:025 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone
                    preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.

    020:026 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from
                    the blood of all men.

    020:027 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
                    God.

    020:028 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, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    020:029 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves
                    enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

    020:030 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
                    things, to draw away disciples after them.

    020:031 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three
                    years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.

    020:032 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of
                    his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an
                    inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

    020:033 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.

    020:034 Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto
                    my necessities, and to them that were with me.

    020:035 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought
                    to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord
                    Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to
                    receive.

    020:036 And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with
                    them all.

    020:037 And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed
                    him,

    020:038 Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they
                    should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the
                    ship.

    021:001 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and
                    had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and
                    the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

    021:002 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard,
                    and set forth.

    021:003 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.

    021:004 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said
                    to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to
                    Jerusalem.

    021:005 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.

    021:006 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship;
                    and they returned home again.

    021:007 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to
                    Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one
                    day.

    021:008 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and
                    came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip
                    the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with
                    him.

    021:009 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did
                    prophesy.

    021:010 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea
                    a certain prophet, named Agabus.

    021:011 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 Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this
                    girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

    021:012 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that
                    place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

    021:013 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
                    Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

    021:014 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The
                    will of the Lord be done.

    021:015 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to
                    Jerusalem.

    021:016 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea,
                    and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple,
                    with whom we should lodge.

    021:017 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
                    gladly.

    021:018 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all
                    the elders were present.

    021:019 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what
                    things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

    021:020 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto
                    him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are
                    which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

    021:021 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.

    021:022 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together:
                    for they will hear that thou art come.

    021:023 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which
                    have a vow on them;

    021:024 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges
                    with them, 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.

    021:025 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and
                    concluded 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.

    021:026 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself
                    with them entered into the temple, to signify the
                    accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an
                    offering should be offered for every one of them.

    021:027 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,

    021:028 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.

    021:029 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an
                    Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the
                    temple.)

    021:030 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.

    021:031 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the
                    chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an
                    uproar.

    021:032 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.

    021:033 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded
                    him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and
                    what he had done.

    021:034 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude:
                    and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he
                    commanded him to be carried into the castle.

    021:035 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne
                    of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

    021:036 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away
                    with him.

    021:037 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?

    021:038 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an
                    uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men
                    that were murderers?

    021:039 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.

    021:040 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,

    022:001 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make
                    now unto you.

    022:002 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to
                    them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

    022:003 I 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 Gamaliel,
                    and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the
                    fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

    022:004 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and
                    delivering into prisons both men and women.

    022:005 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.

    022:006 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
                    nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from
                    heaven a great light round about me.

    022:007 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
                    Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

    022:008 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am
                    Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

    022:009 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were
                    afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

    022:010 And I said, What shall 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.

    022:011 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being
                    led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into
                    Damascus.

    022:012 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a
                    good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

    022:013 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul,
                    receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

    022:014 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.

    022:015 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast
                    seen and heard.

    022:016 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash
                    away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

    022:017 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;

    022:018 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
                    out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony
                    concerning me.

    022:019 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in
                    every synagogue them that believed on thee:

    022:020 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 him.

    022:021 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence
                    unto the Gentiles.

    022:022 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.

    022:023 And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw
                    dust into the air,

    022:024 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle,
                    and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he
                    might know wherefore they cried so against him.

    022:025 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 uncondemned?

    022:026 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief
                    captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a
                    Roman.

    022:027 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art
                    thou a Roman? He said, Yea.

    022:028 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I
                    this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.

    022:029 Then straightway they departed from him which should have
                    examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he
                    knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

    022:030 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty
                    wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his
                    bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council
                    to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

    023:001 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and
                    brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until
                    this day.

    023:002 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him
                    to smite him on the mouth.

    023:003 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited
                    wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and
                    commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

    023:004 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

    023:005 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.

    023:006 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: of the hope
                    and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

    023:007 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
                    Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

    023:008 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
                    angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

    023:009 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the
                    Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in
                    this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let
                    us not fight against God.

    023:010 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,
                    fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them,
                    commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force
                    from among them, and to bring him into the castle.

    023:011 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 Rome.

    023:012 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and
                    bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither
                    eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

    023:013 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

    023:014 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.

    023:015 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.

    023:016 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he
                    went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

    023:017 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said,
                    Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a
                    certain thing to tell him.

    023:018 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.

    023:019 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him
                    aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell
                    me?

    023:020 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.

    023:021 But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him
                    of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with
                    an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have
                    killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from
                    thee.

    023:022 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.

    023:023 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two
                    hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore
                    and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the
                    night;

    023:024 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring
                    him safe unto Felix the governor.

    023:025 And he wrote a letter after this manner:

    023:026 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth
                    greeting.

    023:027 This 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 Roman.

    023:028 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused
                    him, I brought him forth into their council:

    023:029 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but
                    to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of
                    bonds.

    023:030 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait 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.

    023:031 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and
                    brought him by night to Antipatris.

    023:032 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and
                    returned to the castle:

    023:033 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to
                    the governor, presented Paul also before him.

    023:034 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what
                    province he was. And when he understood that he was of
                    Cilicia;

    023:035 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come.
                    And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

    024:001 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the
                    elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who
                    informed the governor against Paul.

    024:002 And when he was called forth, Tertullus 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 providence,

    024:003 We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with
                    all thankfulness.

    024:004 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I
                    pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few
                    words.

    024:005 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of
                    sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a
                    ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

    024:006 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took,
                    and would have judged according to our law.

    024:007 But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great
                    violence took him away out of our hands,

    024:008 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of
                    whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things,
                    whereof we accuse him.

    024:009 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

    024:010 Then Paul, after that the governor 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 cheerfully
                    answer for myself:

    024:011 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but
                    twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

    024:012 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:

    024:013 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

    024:014 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:

    024:015 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.

    024:016 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience
                    void to offence toward God, and toward men.

    024:017 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and
                    offerings.

    024:018 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the
                    temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

    024:019 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they
                    had ought against me.

    024:020 Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil
                    doing in me, while I stood before the council,

    024:021 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among
                    them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in
                    question by you this day.

    024:022 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect
                    knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias
                    the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost
                    of your matter.

    024:023 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have
                    liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to
                    minister or come unto him.

    024:024 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.

    024:025 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment
                    to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this
                    time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

    024:026 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 communed with him.

    024:027 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and
                    Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

    025:001 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days
                    he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

    025:002 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
                    against Paul, and besought him,

    025:003 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
                    Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

    025:004 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
                    that he himself would depart shortly thither.

    025:005 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down
                    with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in
                    him.

    025:006 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went
                    down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment
                    seat commanded Paul to be brought.

    025:007 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem
                    stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints
                    against Paul, which they could not prove.

    025:008 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
                    Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have
                    I offended any thing at all.

    025:009 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?

    025:010 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I
                    ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou
                    very well knowest.

    025:011 For if 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.

    025:012 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered,
                    Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.

    025:013 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto
                    Caesarea to salute Festus.

    025:014 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:

    025:015 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the
                    elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment
                    against him.

    025:016 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans 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.

    025:017 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.

    025:018 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
                    accusation of such things as I supposed:

    025:019 But had certain questions against him of their own
                    superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul
                    affirmed to be alive.

    025:020 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.

    025:021 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
                    Caesar.

    025:022 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man
                    myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

    025:023 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with
                    great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with
                    the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus'
                    commandment Paul was brought forth.

    025:024 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here
                    present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude
                    of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also
                    here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

    025:025 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of
                    death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have
                    determined to send him.

    025:026 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord.
                    Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially
                    before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I
                    might have somewhat to write.

    025:027 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not
                    withal to signify the crimes laid against him.

    026:001 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
                    thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for
                    himself:

    026:002 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
                    myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I
                    am accused of the Jews:

    026:003 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and
                    questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee
                    to hear me patiently.

    026:004 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among
                    mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

    026:005 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that
                    after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a
                    Pharisee.

    026:006 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made
                    of God, unto our fathers:

    026:007 Unto which promise 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.

    026:008 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
                    should raise the dead?

    026:009 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
                    contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

    026:010 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints
                    did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the
                    chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my
                    voice against them.

    026:011 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them
                    to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I
                    persecuted them even unto strange cities.

    026:012 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission
                    from the chief priests,

    026:013 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above
                    the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them
                    which journeyed with me.

    026:014 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.

    026:015 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom
                    thou persecutest.

    026:016 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;

    026:017 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto
                    whom now I send thee,

    026:018 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.

    026:019 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the
                    heavenly vision:

    026:020 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
                    throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles,
                    that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for
                    repentance.

    026:021 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went
                    about to kill me.

    026:022 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:

    026:023 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first
                    that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the
                    people, and to the Gentiles.

    026:024 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud
                    voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make
                    thee mad.

    026:025 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth
                    the words of truth and soberness.

    026:026 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 him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

    026:027 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
                    believest.

    026:028 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a
                    Christian.

    026:029 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.

    026:030 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the
                    governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

    026:031 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves,
                    saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

    026:032 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at
                    liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.

    027:001 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.

    027:002 And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning
                    to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian
                    of Thessalonica, being with us.

    027:003 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
                    entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to
                    refresh himself.

    027:004 And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,
                    because the winds were contrary.

    027:005 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia,
                    we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.

    027:006 And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing
                    into Italy; and he put us therein.

    027:007 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;

    027:008 And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The
                    fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.

    027:009 Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now
                    dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul
                    admonished them,

    027:010 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.

    027:011 Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner
                    of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.

    027:012 And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the
                    more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they
                    might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an
                    haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north
                    west.

    027:013 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
                    obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by
                    Crete.

    027:014 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
                    called Euroclydon.

    027:015 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the
                    wind, we let her drive.

    027:016 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we
                    had much work to come by the boat:

    027:017 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding
                    the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the
                    quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

    027:018 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day
                    they lightened the ship;

    027:019 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling
                    of the ship.

    027:020 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.

    027:021 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.

    027:022 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be
                    no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.

    027:023 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am,
                    and whom I serve,

    027:024 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar:
                    and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

    027:025 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it
                    shall be even as it was told me.

    027:026 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

    027:027 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 some country;

    027:028 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had
                    gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it
                    fifteen fathoms.

    027:029 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
                    four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

    027:030 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,

    027:031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
                    abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

    027:032 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
                    fall off.

    027:033 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to
                    take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have
                    tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.

    027:034 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your
                    health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any
                    of you.

    027:035 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.

    027:036 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some
                    meat.

    027:037 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and
                    sixteen souls.

    027:038 And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and
                    cast out the wheat into the sea.

    027:039 And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they
                    discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they
                    were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.

    027:040 And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed
                    themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and
                    hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.

    027:041 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 of the waves.

    027:042 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any
                    of them should swim out, and escape.

    027:043 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their
                    purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast
                    themselves first into the sea, and get to land:

    027:044 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.

    028:001 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was
                    called Melita.

    028:002 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for
                    they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the
                    present rain, and because of the cold.

    028:003 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.

    028:004 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his
                    hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a
                    murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance
                    suffereth not to live.

    028:005 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.

    028:006 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.

    028:007 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
                    island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us
                    three days courteously.

    028:008 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
                    fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and
                    prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

    028:009 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
                    island, came, and were healed:

    028:010 Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed,
                    they laded us with such things as were necessary.

    028:011 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria,
                    which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and
                    Pollux.

    028:012 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.

    028:013 And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and
                    after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to
                    Puteoli:

    028:014 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them
                    seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

    028:015 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.

    028:016 And when we came to Rome, 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.

    028:017 And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called 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 Jerusalem into the hands of the
                    Romans.

    028:018 Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because
                    there was no cause of death in me.

    028:019 But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to
                    appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation
                    of.

    028:020 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
                    am bound with this chain.

    028:021 And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of
                    Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came
                    shewed or spake any harm of thee.

    028:022 But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as
                    concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken
                    against.

    028:023 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him
                    into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the
                    kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of
                    the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till
                    evening.

    028:024 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some
                    believed not.

    028:025 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,

    028:026 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear,
                    and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
                    perceive:

    028:027 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.

    028:028 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
                    sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.

    028:029 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had
                    great reasoning among themselves.

    028:030 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
                    received all that came in unto him,

    028:031 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
                    concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man
                    forbidding him.

    Book 45 Romans



    001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
                    separated unto the gospel of God,

    001:002 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
                    scriptures,)

    001:003 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of
                    the seed of David according to the flesh;

    001:004 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the
                    spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

    001:005 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
                    to the faith among all nations, for his name:

    001:006 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

    001:007 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:
                    Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
                    Christ.

    001:008 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
                    your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

    001:009 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the
                    gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you
                    always in my prayers;

    001:010 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a
                    prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

    001:011 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some
                    spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

    001:012 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the
                    mutual faith both of you and me.

    001:013 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I
                    purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I
                    might have some fruit among you also, even as among other
                    Gentiles.

    001:014 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to
                    the wise, and to the unwise.

    001:015 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to
                    you that are at Rome also.

    001:016 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.

    001:017 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to
                    faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

    001:018 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
                    ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
                    unrighteousness;

    001:019 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
                    for God hath shewed it unto them.

    001:020 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:

    001:021 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.

    001:022 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

    001:023 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
                    made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted
                    beasts, and creeping things.

    001:024 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
                    lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies
                    between themselves:

    001:025 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.

    001:026 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:

    001:027 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 meet.

    001:028 And even as they did not like to retain God in their
                    knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
                    things which are not convenient;

    001:029 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
                    wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
                    debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

    001:030 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
                    inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

    001:031 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
                    affection, implacable, unmerciful:

    001:032 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
                    things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
                    pleasure in them that do them.

    002:001 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that
                    judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest
                    thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

    002:002 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth
                    against them which commit such things.

    002:003 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such
                    things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the
                    judgment of God?

    002:004 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance
                    and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God
                    leadeth thee to repentance?

    002:005 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto
                    thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
                    righteous judgment of God;

    002:006 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

    002:007 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for
                    glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

    002:008 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth,
                    but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

    002:009 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth
                    evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

    002:010 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good,
                    to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

    002:011 For there is no respect of persons with God.

    002:012 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish
                    without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be
                    judged by the law;

    002:013 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the
                    doers of the law shall be justified.

    002:014 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature
                    the things contained in the law, these, having not the law,
                    are a law unto themselves:

    002:015 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their
                    conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean
                    while accusing or else excusing one another;)

    002:016 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus
                    Christ according to my gospel.

    002:017 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and
                    makest thy boast of God,

    002:018 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more
                    excellent, being instructed out of the law;

    002:019 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind,
                    a light of them which are in darkness,

    002:020 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast
                    the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

    002:021 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not
                    thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou
                    steal?

    002:022 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou
                    commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit
                    sacrilege?

    002:023 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the
                    law dishonourest thou God?

    002:024 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through
                    you, as it is written.

    002:025 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but
                    if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made
                    uncircumcision.

    002:026 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the
                    law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

    002:027 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?

    002:028 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that
                    circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

    002:029 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is
                    that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose
                    praise is not of men, but of God.

    003:001 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of
                    circumcision?

    003:002 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed
                    the oracles of God.

    003:003 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make
                    the faith of God without effect?

    003:004 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it
                    is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings,
                    and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

    003:005 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God,
                    what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I
                    speak as a man)

    003:006 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

    003:007 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto
                    his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

    003:008 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some
                    affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose
                    damnation is just.

    003:009 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we
                    have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all
                    under sin;

    003:010 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

    003:011 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh
                    after God.

    003:012 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
                    unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

    003:013 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they
                    have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

    003:014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

    003:015 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

    003:016 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

    003:017 And the way of peace have they not known:

    003:018 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

    003:019 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.

    003:020 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
                    justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of
                    sin.

    003:021 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
                    manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

    003:022 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:

    003:023 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    003:024 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption
                    that is in Christ Jesus:

    003:025 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;

    003:026 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he
                    might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in
                    Jesus.

    003:027 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works?
                    Nay: but by the law of faith.

    003:028 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without
                    the deeds of the law.

    003:029 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the
                    Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

    003:030 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by
                    faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

    003:031 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea,
                    we establish the law.

    004:001 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining
                    to the flesh, hath found?

    004:002 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to
                    glory; but not before God.

    004:003 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was
                    counted unto him for righteousness.

    004:004 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace,
                    but of debt.

    004:005 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
                    justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
                    righteousness.

    004:006 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto
                    whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

    004:007 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
                    whose sins are covered.

    004:008 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

    004:009 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or
                    upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was
                    reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

    004:010 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
                    uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

    004:011 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the
                    righteousness 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:

    004:012 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the
                    circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that
                    faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet
                    uncircumcised.

    004:013 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.

    004:014 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void,
                    and the promise made of none effect:

    004:015 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is
                    no transgression.

    004:016 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,

    004:017 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,)
                    before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the
                    dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they
                    were.

    004:018 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
                    father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So
                    shall thy seed be.

    004:019 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body
                    now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet
                    the deadness of Sarah's womb:

    004:020 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
                    was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

    004:021 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was
                    able also to perform.

    004:022 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

    004:023 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed
                    to him;

    004:024 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on
                    him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

    004:025 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for
                    our justification.

    005:001 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
                    through our Lord Jesus Christ:

    005:002 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein
                    we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

    005:003 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing
                    that tribulation worketh patience;

    005:004 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

    005:005 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.

    005:006 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died
                    for the ungodly.

    005:007 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
                    peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

    005:008 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
                    yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    005:009 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
                    saved from wrath through him.

    005:010 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the
                    death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be
                    saved by his life.

    005:011 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

    005:012 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death
                    by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
                    sinned:

    005:013 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
                    imputed when there is no law.

    005:014 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them
                    that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's
                    transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

    005:015 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
                    through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace
                    of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus
                    Christ, hath abounded unto many.

    005:016 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the
                    judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of
                    many offences unto justification.

    005:017 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.)

    005:018 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men
                    to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free
                    gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

    005:019 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by
                    the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

    005:020 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But
                    where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

    005:021 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign
                    through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our
                    Lord.

    006:001 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
                    may abound?

    006:002 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
                    longer therein?

    006:003 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
                    Christ were baptized into his death?

    006:004 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.

    006:005 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
                    death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

    006:006 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the
                    body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not
                    serve sin.

    006:007 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

    006:008 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also
                    live with him:

    006:009 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
                    death hath no more dominion over him.

    006:010 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
                    liveth, he liveth unto God.

    006:011 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin,
                    but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    006:012 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
                    should obey it in the lusts thereof.

    006:013 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of
                    unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as
                    those that are alive from the dead, and your members as
                    instruments of righteousness unto God.

    006:014 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under
                    the law, but under grace.

    006:015 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but
                    under grace? God forbid.

    006:016 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?

    006:017 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.

    006:018 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
                    righteousness.

    006:019 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of
                    your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to
                    uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield
                    your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

    006:020 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
                    righteousness.

    006:021 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
                    ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

    006:022 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God,
                    ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting
                    life.

    006:023 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
                    life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    007:001 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?

    007:002 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.

    007:003 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.

    007:004 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.

    007:005 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were
                    by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto
                    death.

    007:006 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 oldness of the letter.

    007:007 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.

    007:008 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all
                    manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

    007:009 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment
                    came, sin revived, and I died.

    007:010 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be
                    unto death.

    007:011 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and
                    by it slew me.

    007:012 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just,
                    and good.

    007:013 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid.
                    But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that
                    which is good; that sin by the commandment might become
                    exceeding sinful.

    007:014 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold
                    under sin.

    007:015 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I
                    not; but what I hate, that do I.

    007:016 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law
                    that it is good.

    007:017 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in
                    me.

    007:018 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 not.

    007:019 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would
                    not, that I do.

    007:020 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but
                    sin that dwelleth in me.

    007:021 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present
                    with me.

    007:022 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

    007:023 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law
                    of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
                    which is in my members.

    007:024 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body
                    of this death?

    007:025 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the
                    mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law
                    of sin.

    008:001 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
                    Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
                    Spirit.

    008:002 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
                    free from the law of sin and death.

    008:003 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:

    008:004 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
                    who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

    008:005 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the
                    flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the
                    Spirit.

    008:006 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually
                    minded is life and peace.

    008:007 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
                    subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

    008:008 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

    008:009 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.

    008:010 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but
                    the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

    008:011 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 mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in
                    you.

    008:012 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live
                    after the flesh.

    008:013 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.

    008:014 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons
                    of God.

    008:015 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
                    but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry,
                    Abba, Father.

    008:016 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are
                    the children of God:

    008:017 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.

    008:018 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not
                    worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed
                    in us.

    008:019 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
                    manifestation of the sons of God.

    008:020 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,
                    but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

    008:021 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the
                    bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
                    children of God.

    008:022 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in
                    pain together until now.

    008:023 And not only they, but ourselves 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.

    008:024 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?

    008:025 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience
                    wait for it.

    008:026 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 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.

    008:027 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of
                    the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints
                    according to the will of God.

    008:028 And we know that all things work together for good to them
                    that love God, to them who are the called according to his
                    purpose.

    008:029 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be
                    conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the
                    firstborn among many brethren.

    008:030 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and
                    whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified,
                    them he also glorified.

    008:031 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who
                    can be against us?

    008:032 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?

    008:033 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is
                    God that justifieth.

    008:034 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.

    008:035 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall
                    tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or
                    nakedness, or peril, or sword?

    008:036 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
                    we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

    008:037 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
                    him that loved us.

    008:038 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
                    nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things
                    to come,

    008:039 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
                    to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus
                    our Lord.

    009:001 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
                    bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

    009:002 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

    009:003 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my
                    brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

    009:004 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the
                    glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the
                    service of God, and the promises;

    009:005 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh
                    Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

    009:006 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they
                    are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

    009:007 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all
                    children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

    009:008 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are
                    not the children of God: but the children of the promise are
                    counted for the seed.

    009:009 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and
                    Sarah shall have a son.

    009:010 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one,
                    even by our father Isaac;

    009:011 (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 him that calleth;)

    009:012 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

    009:013 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

    009:014 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God
                    forbid.

    009:015 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.

    009:016 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that
                    runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

    009:017 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 declared throughout all the
                    earth.

    009:018 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom
                    he will he hardeneth.

    009:019 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For
                    who hath resisted his will?

    009:020 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall
                    the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made
                    me thus?

    009:021 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
                    make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

    009:022 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power
                    known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath
                    fitted to destruction:

    009:023 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
                    vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

    009:024 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also
                    of the Gentiles?

    009:025 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which
                    were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

    009:026 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said
                    unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called
                    the children of the living God.

    009:027 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the
                    children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall
                    be saved:

    009:028 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in
                    righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon
                    the earth.

    009:029 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left
                    us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
                    Gomorrha.

    009:030 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not
                    after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the
                    righteousness which is of faith.

    009:031 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness,
                    hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

    009:032 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were
                    by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that
                    stumblingstone;

    009:033 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and
                    rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be
                    ashamed.

    010:001 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
                    that they might be saved.

    010:002 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not
                    according to knowledge.

    010:003 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.

    010:004 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every
                    one that believeth.

    010:005 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,
                    That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

    010:006 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:)

    010:007 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up
                    Christ again from the dead.)

    010:008 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth,
                    and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

    010:009 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.

    010:010 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with
                    the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

    010:011 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not
                    be ashamed.

    010:012 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.

    010:013 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
                    saved.

    010:014 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
                    believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have
                    not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

    010:015 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!

    010:016 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith,
                    Lord, who hath believed our report?

    010:017 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of
                    God.

    010:018 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.

    010:019 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will
                    provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a
                    foolish nation I will anger you.

    010:020 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that
                    sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not
                    after me.

    010:021 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my
                    hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

    011:001 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I
                    also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
                    Benjamin.

    011:002 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,

    011:003 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
                    altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

    011:004 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to
                    myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the
                    image of Baal.

    011:005 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
                    according to the election of grace.

    011:006 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace
                    is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more
                    grace: otherwise work is no more work.

    011:007 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for;
                    but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

    011:008 (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.

    011:009 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,
                    and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

    011:010 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow
                    down their back alway.

    011:011 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God
                    forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto
                    the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

    011:012 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
                    diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more
                    their fulness?

    011:013 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of
                    the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

    011:014 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my
                    flesh, and might save some of them.

    011:015 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?

    011:016 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if
                    the root be holy, so are the branches.

    011:017 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;

    011:018 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou
                    bearest not the root, but the root thee.

    011:019 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might
                    be graffed in.

    011:020 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou
                    standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

    011:021 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he
                    also spare not thee.

    011:022 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them
                    which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou
                    continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut
                    off.

    011:023 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be
                    graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

    011:024 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 natural
                    branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

    011:025 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this
                    mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
                    blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of
                    the Gentiles be come in.

    011:026 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There
                    shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
                    ungodliness from Jacob:

    011:027 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away
                    their sins.

    011:028 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but
                    as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's
                    sakes.

    011:029 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

    011:030 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now
                    obtained mercy through their unbelief:

    011:031 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your
                    mercy they also may obtain mercy.

    011:032 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might
                    have mercy upon all.

    011:033 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of
                    God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past
                    finding out!

    011:034 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his
                    counsellor?

    011:035 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed
                    unto him again?

    011:036 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to
                    whom be glory for ever. Amen.

    012:001 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
                    ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable
                    unto God, which is your reasonable service.

    012:002 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
                    the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
                    good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    012:003 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 man the measure of faith.

    012:004 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have
                    not the same office:

    012:005 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one
                    members one of another.

    012:006 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is
                    given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to
                    the proportion of faith;

    012:007 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that
                    teacheth, on teaching;

    012:008 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him
                    do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that
                    sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

    012:009 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil;
                    cleave to that which is good.

    012:010 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in
                    honour preferring one another;

    012:011 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

    012:012 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant
                    in prayer;

    012:013 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

    012:014 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

    012:015 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
                    weep.

    012:016 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things,
                    but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
                    conceits.

    012:017 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in
                    the sight of all men.

    012:018 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
                    with all men.

    012:019 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place
                    unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
                    repay, saith the Lord.

    012:020 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.

    012:021 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

    013:001 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is
                    no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

    013:002 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
                    ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to
                    themselves damnation.

    013:003 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.
                    Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is
                    good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

    013:004 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do
                    that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in
                    vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute
                    wrath upon him that doeth evil.

    013:005 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but
                    also for conscience sake.

    013:006 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
                    ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

    013:007 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is
                    due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom
                    honour.

    013:008 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that
                    loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

    013:009 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill,
                    Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou
                    shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is
                    briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love
                    thy neighbour as thyself.

    013:010 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the
                    fulfilling of the law.

    013:011 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake
                    out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we
                    believed.

    013:012 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore
                    cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour
                    of light.

    013:013 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and
                    drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife
                    and envying.

    013:014 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
                    for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

    014:001 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful
                    disputations.

    014:002 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is
                    weak, eateth herbs.

    014:003 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let
                    not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath
                    received him.

    014:004 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own
                    master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for
                    God is able to make him stand.

    014:005 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
                    every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own
                    mind.

    014:006 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he
                    that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it.
                    He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks;
                    and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth
                    God thanks.

    014:007 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

    014:008 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we
                    die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die,
                    we are the Lord's.

    014:009 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that
                    he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

    014:010 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at
                    nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment
                    seat of Christ.

    014:011 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall
                    bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

    014:012 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

    014:013 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge
                    this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion
                    to fall in his brother's way.

    014:014 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is
                    nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing
                    to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

    014:015 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou
                    not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ
                    died.

    014:016 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:

    014:017 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but
                    righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

    014:018 For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to
                    God, and approved of men.

    014:019 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace,
                    and things wherewith one may edify another.

    014:020 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are
                    pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

    014:021 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.

    014:022 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he
                    that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

    014:023 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth
                    not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

    015:001 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the
                    weak, and not to please ourselves.

    015:002 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to
                    edification.

    015:003 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
                    The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

    015:004 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for
                    our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the
                    scriptures might have hope.

    015:005 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be
                    likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

    015:006 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the
                    Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    015:007 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us
                    to the glory of God.

    015:008 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision
                    for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the
                    fathers:

    015:009 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 unto thy name.

    015:010 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

    015:011 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all
                    ye people.

    015:012 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and
                    he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall
                    the Gentiles trust.

    015:013 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
                    believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
                    the Holy Ghost.

    015:014 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye
                    also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able
                    also to admonish one another.

    015:015 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,

    015:016 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
                    ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
                    Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy
                    Ghost.

    015:017 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in
                    those things which pertain to God.

    015:018 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,

    015:019 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit
                    of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto
                    Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

    015:020 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ
                    was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

    015:021 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall
                    see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

    015:022 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to
                    you.

    015:023 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a
                    great desire these many years to come unto you;

    015:024 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 thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with
                    your company.

    015:025 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.

    015:026 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
                    certain contribution for the poor saints which are at
                    Jerusalem.

    015:027 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.

    015:028 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them
                    this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

    015:029 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the
                    fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

    015:030 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake,
                    and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with
                    me in your prayers to God for me;

    015:031 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in
                    Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be
                    accepted of the saints;

    015:032 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may
                    with you be refreshed.

    015:033 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

    016:001 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the
                    church which is at Cenchrea:

    016:002 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that
                    ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for
                    she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

    016:003 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

    016:004 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not
                    only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.

    016:005 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my
                    well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto
                    Christ.

    016:006 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.

    016:007 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
                    fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also
                    were in Christ before me.

    016:008 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.

    016:009 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

    016:010 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of
                    Aristobulus' household.

    016:011 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the
                    household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.

    016:012 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute
                    the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.

    016:013 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.

    016:014 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the
                    brethren which are with them.

    016:015 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and
                    Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.

    016:016 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ
                    salute you.

    016:017 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions
                    and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned;
                    and avoid them.

    016:018 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but
                    their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive
                    the hearts of the simple.

    016:019 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad
                    therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto
                    that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

    016:020 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet
                    shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

    016:021 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater,
                    my kinsmen, salute you.

    016:022 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

    016:023 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.
                    Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus
                    a brother.

    016:024 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

    016:025 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
                    gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
                    revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the
                    world began,

    016:026 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the
                    prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God,
                    made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

    016:027 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
                    Amen.

    Book 46 1 Corinthians



    001:001 Paul called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will
                    of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

    001:002 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are
                    sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that
                    in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,
                    both their's and our's:

    001:003 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from
                    the Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:004 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God
                    which is given you by Jesus Christ;

    001:005 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance,
                    and in all knowledge;

    001:006 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

    001:007 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of
                    our Lord Jesus Christ:

    001:008 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be
                    blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:009 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of
                    his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

    001:010 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no
                    divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together
                    in the same mind and in the same judgment.

    001:011 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.

    001:012 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and
                    I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

    001:013 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye
                    baptized in the name of Paul?

    001:014 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and
                    Gaius;

    001:015 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

    001:016 And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I
                    know not whether I baptized any other.

    001:017 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel:
                    not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be
                    made of none effect.

    001:018 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
                    foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of
                    God.

    001:019 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and
                    will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

    001:020 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer
                    of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this
                    world?

    001:021 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew
                    not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to
                    save them that believe.

    001:022 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

    001:023 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
                    stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

    001:024 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ
                    the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

    001:025 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the
                    weakness of God is stronger than men.

    001:026 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men
                    after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

    001:027 But God hath chosen the foolish 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;

    001:028 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:

    001:029 That no flesh should glory in his presence.

    001:030 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us
                    wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

    001:031 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him
                    glory in the Lord.

    002:001 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency
                    of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of
                    God.

    002:002 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus
                    Christ, and him crucified.

    002:003 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much
                    trembling.

    002:004 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of
                    man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

    002:005 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in
                    the power of God.

    002:006 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not
                    the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world,
                    that come to nought:

    002:007 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden
                    wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

    002:008 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they
                    known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

    002:009 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.

    002:010 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the
                    Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

    002:011 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.

    002:012 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.

    002:013 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's
                    wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
                    spiritual things with spiritual.

    002:014 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.

    002:015 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is
                    judged of no man.

    002:016 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct
                    him? But we have the mind of Christ.

    003:001 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual,
                    but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

    003:002 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye
                    were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

    003:003 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying,
                    and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

    003:004 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of
                    Apollos; are ye not carnal?

    003:005 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye
                    believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

    003:006 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

    003:007 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that
                    watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

    003:008 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every
                    man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

    003:009 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's
                    husbandry, ye are God's building.

    003:010 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a
                    wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
                    buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
                    thereupon.

    003:011 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which
                    is Jesus Christ.

    003:012 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver,
                    precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

    003:013 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall
                    declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
                    shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

    003:014 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he
                    shall receive a reward.

    003:015 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but
                    he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

    003:016 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit
                    of God dwelleth in you?

    003:017 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;
                    for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

    003:018 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be
                    wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
                    wise.

    003:019 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it
                    is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

    003:020 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that
                    they are vain.

    003:021 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

    003:022 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or
                    death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

    003:023 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

    004:001 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and
                    stewards of the mysteries of God.

    004:002 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found
                    faithful.

    004:003 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged
                    of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

    004:004 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified:
                    but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

    004:005 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.

    004:006 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 that which is written, that no
                    one of you be puffed up for one against another.

    004:007 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?

    004:008 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings
                    without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also
                    might reign with you.

    004:009 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.

    004:010 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.

    004:011 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and
                    are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain
                    dwellingplace;

    004:012 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we
                    bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

    004:013 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the
                    world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

    004:014 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons
                    I warn you.

    004:015 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet
                    have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten
                    you through the gospel.

    004:016 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

    004:017 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.

    004:018 Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

    004:019 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.

    004:020 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

    004:021 What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love,
                    and in the spirit of meekness?

    005:001 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you,
                    and such fornication as is not so much as named among the
                    Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.

    005:002 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he
                    that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

    005:003 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,

    005:004 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered
                    together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
                    Christ,

    005:005 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the
                    flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord
                    Jesus.

    005:006 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven
                    leaveneth the whole lump?

    005:007 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:

    005:008 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.

    005:009 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
                    fornicators:

    005:010 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with
                    the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then
                    must ye needs go out of the world.

    005:011 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 railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner;
                    with such an one no not to eat.

    005:012 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do
                    not ye judge them that are within?

    005:013 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from
                    among yourselves that wicked person.

    006:001 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law
                    before the unjust, and not before the saints?

    006:002 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 matters?

    006:003 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things
                    that pertain to this life?

    006:004 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life,
                    set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.

    006:005 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?

    006:006 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the
                    unbelievers.

    006:007 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?

    006:008 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.

    006:009 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom
                    of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters,
                    nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with
                    mankind,

    006:010 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor
                    extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

    006:011 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are
                    sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord
                    Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

    006:012 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.

    006:013 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall
                    destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication,
                    but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

    006:014 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up
                    us by his own power.

    006:015 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall
                    I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members
                    of an harlot? God forbid.

    006:016 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one
                    body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

    006:017 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

    006:018 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the
                    body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his
                    own body.

    006:019 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy
                    Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not
                    your own?

    006:020 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your
                    body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

    007:001 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good
                    for a man not to touch a woman.

    007:002 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own
                    wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

    007:003 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and
                    likewise also the wife unto the husband.

    007:004 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and
                    likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but
                    the wife.

    007:005 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a
                    time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and
                    come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your
                    incontinency.

    007:006 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

    007:007 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.

    007:008 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for
                    them if they abide even as I.

    007:009 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better
                    to marry than to burn.

    007:010 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let
                    not the wife depart from her husband:

    007:011 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be
                    reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away
                    his wife.

    007:012 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 him,
                    let him not put her away.

    007:013 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if
                    he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

    007:014 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the
                    unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your
                    children unclean; but now are they holy.

    007:015 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.

    007:016 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy
                    husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save
                    thy wife?

    007:017 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.

    007:018 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become
                    uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be
                    circumcised.

    007:019 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but
                    the keeping of the commandments of God.

    007:020 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

    007:021 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou
                    mayest be made free, use it rather.

    007:022 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.

    007:023 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

    007:024 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide
                    with God.

    007:025 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.

    007:026 I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
                    distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.

    007:027 Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou
                    loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

    007:028 But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin
                    marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have
                    trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.

    007:029 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth,
                    that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

    007:030 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 possessed not;

    007:031 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the
                    fashion of this world passeth away.

    007:032 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:

    007:033 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the
                    world, how he may please his wife.

    007:034 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The
                    unmarried woman 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 husband.

    007:035 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 may
                    attend upon the Lord without distraction.

    007:036 But if any man 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 will, he sinneth not: let them
                    marry.

    007:037 Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no
                    necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so
                    decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.

    007:038 So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that
                    giveth her not in marriage doeth better.

    007:039 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.

    007:040 But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I
                    think also that I have the Spirit of God.

    008:001 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all
                    have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

    008:002 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth
                    nothing yet as he ought to know.

    008:003 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.

    008:004 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 God but
                    one.

    008:005 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or
                    in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

    008:006 But to us 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.

    008:007 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some
                    with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing
                    offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is
                    defiled.

    008:008 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are
                    we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

    008:009 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become
                    a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

    008:010 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in
                    the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is
                    weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to
                    idols;

    008:011 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for
                    whom Christ died?

    008:012 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak
                    conscience, ye sin against Christ.

    008:013 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no
                    flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to
                    offend.

    009:001 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus
                    Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

    009:002 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.

    009:003 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,

    009:004 Have we not power to eat and to drink?

    009:005 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?

    009:006 Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

    009:007 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?

    009:008 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same
                    also?

    009:009 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?

    009:010 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.

    009:011 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing
                    if we shall reap your carnal things?

    009:012 If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we
                    rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer
                    all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.

    009:013 Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live
                    of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar
                    are partakers with the altar?

    009:014 Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the
                    gospel should live of the gospel.

    009:015 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.

    009:016 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of:
                    for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I
                    preach not the gospel!

    009:017 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.

    009:018 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.

    009:019 For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself
                    servant unto all, that I might gain the more.

    009:020 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 them that are under the law;

    009:021 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.

    009:022 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am
                    made all things to all men, that I might by all means save
                    some.

    009:023 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker
                    thereof with you.

    009:024 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one
                    receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

    009:025 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in
                    all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but
                    we an incorruptible.

    009:026 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one
                    that beateth the air:

    009:027 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 castaway.

    010:001 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant,
                    how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed
                    through the sea;

    010:002 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

    010:003 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

    010:004 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of
                    that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was
                    Christ.

    010:005 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were
                    overthrown in the wilderness.

    010:006 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should
                    not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

    010:007 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is
                    written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to
                    play.

    010:008 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed,
                    and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

    010:009 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and
                    were destroyed of serpents.

    010:010 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were
                    destroyed of the destroyer.

    010:011 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and
                    they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the
                    world are come.

    010:012 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
                    fall.

    010:013 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common 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 escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

    010:014 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.

    010:015 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.

    010:016 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?

    010:017 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all
                    partakers of that one bread.

    010:018 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the
                    sacrifices partakers of the altar?

    010:019 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is
                    offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?

    010:020 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they
                    sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye
                    should have fellowship with devils.

    010:021 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye
                    cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of
                    devils.

    010:022 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

    010:023 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not
                    expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify
                    not.

    010:024 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.

    010:025 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no
                    question for conscience sake:

    010:026 For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

    010:027 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be
                    disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no
                    question for conscience sake.

    010:028 But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto
                    idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience
                    sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

    010:029 Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is
                    my liberty judged of another man's conscience?

    010:030 For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for
                    that for which I give thanks?

    010:031 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do
                    all to the glory of God.

    010:032 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles,
                    nor to the church of God:

    010:033 Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own
                    profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

    011:001 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

    011:002 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things,
                    and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

    011:003 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is
                    Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of
                    Christ is God.

    011:004 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
                    dishonoureth his head.

    011:005 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head
                    uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as
                    if she were shaven.

    011:006 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.

    011:007 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.

    011:008 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.

    011:009 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for
                    the man.

    011:010 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head
                    because of the angels.

    011:011 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the
                    woman without the man, in the Lord.

    011:012 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the
                    woman; but all things of God.

    011:013 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God
                    uncovered?

    011:014 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have
                    long hair, it is a shame unto him?

    011:015 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her
                    hair is given her for a covering.

    011:016 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom,
                    neither the churches of God.

    011:017 Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye
                    come together not for the better, but for the worse.

    011:018 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear
                    that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

    011:019 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are
                    approved may be made manifest among you.

    011:020 When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to
                    eat the Lord's supper.

    011:021 For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper:
                    and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

    011:022 What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye
                    the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I
                    say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

    011:023 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:

    011:024 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
                    remembrance of me.

    011:025 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 remembrance of me.

    011:026 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do
                    shew the Lord's death till he come.

    011:027 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup
                    of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood
                    of the Lord.

    011:028 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that
                    bread, and drink of that cup.

    011:029 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and
                    drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

    011:030 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many
                    sleep.

    011:031 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

    011:032 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we
                    should not be condemned with the world.

    011:033 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry
                    one for another.

    011:034 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.

    012:001 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you
                    ignorant.

    012:002 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb
                    idols, even as ye were led.

    012:003 Wherefore I give you to understand, 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.

    012:004 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.

    012:005 And there are differences of administrations, but the same
                    Lord.

    012:006 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same
                    God which worketh all in all.

    012:007 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to
                    profit withal.

    012:008 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to
                    another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

    012:009 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
                    healing by the same Spirit;

    012:010 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:

    012:011 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit,
                    dividing to every man severally as he will.

    012:012 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the
                    members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is
                    Christ.

    012:013 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.

    012:014 For the body is not one member, but many.

    012:015 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of
                    the body; is it therefore not of the body?

    012:016 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not
                    of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

    012:017 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the
                    whole were hearing, where were the smelling?

    012:018 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the
                    body, as it hath pleased him.

    012:019 And if they were all one member, where were the body?

    012:020 But now are they many members, yet but one body.

    012:021 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.

    012:022 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be
                    more feeble, are necessary:

    012:023 And those members of the body, which we think to be less
                    honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our
                    uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

    012:024 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the
                    body together, having given more abundant honour to that part
                    which lacked.

    012:025 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the
                    members should have the same care one for another.

    012:026 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it;
                    or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

    012:027 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

    012:028 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.

    012:029 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all
                    workers of miracles?

    012:030 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do
                    all interpret?

    012:031 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a
                    more excellent way.

    013:001 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have
                    not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling
                    cymbal.

    013:002 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
                    mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so
                    that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am
                    nothing.

    013:003 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.

    013:004 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
                    charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    013:005 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
                    easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

    013:006 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

    013:007 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things,
                    endureth all things.

    013:008 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they
                    shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
                    whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    013:009 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

    013:010 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in
                    part shall be done away.

    013:011 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.

    013:012 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.

    013:013 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the
                    greatest of these is charity.

    014:001 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather
                    that ye may prophesy.

    014:002 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto
                    men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in
                    the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

    014:003 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and
                    exhortation, and comfort.

    014:004 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he
                    that prophesieth edifieth the church.

    014:005 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye
                    prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that
                    speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church
                    may receive edifying.

    014:006 Now, brethren, if I come unto you 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?

    014:007 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?

    014:008 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare
                    himself to the battle?

    014:009 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.

    014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world,
                    and none of them is without signification.

    014:011 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be
                    unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall
                    be a barbarian unto me.

    014:012 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts,
                    seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

    014:013 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that
                    he may interpret.

    014:014 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my
                    understanding is unfruitful.

    014:015 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.

    014:016 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?

    014:017 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not
                    edified.

    014:018 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

    014:019 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my
                    understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also,
                    than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

    014:020 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice
                    be ye children, but in understanding be men.

    014:021 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.

    014:022 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe,
                    but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for
                    them that believe not, but for them which believe.

    014:023 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,
                    and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are
                    unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

    014:024 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:

    014:025 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so
                    falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that
                    God is in you of a truth.

    014:026 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.

    014:027 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at
                    the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.

    014:028 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the
                    church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

    014:029 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

    014:030 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the
                    first hold his peace.

    014:031 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and
                    all may be comforted.

    014:032 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

    014:033 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in
                    all churches of the saints.

    014:034 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not
                    permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be
                    under obedience as also saith the law.

    014:035 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands
                    at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

    014:036 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you
                    only?

    014:037 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let
                    him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the
                    commandments of the Lord.

    014:038 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

    014:039 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to
                    speak with tongues.

    014:040 Let all things be done decently and in order.

    015:001 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
                    preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
                    stand;

    015:002 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
                    preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

    015:003 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also
                    received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
                    scriptures;

    015:004 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
                    according to the scriptures:

    015:005 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:

    015:006 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.

    015:007 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

    015:008 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of
                    due time.

    015:009 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be
                    called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

    015:010 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 more
                    abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God
                    which was with me.

    015:011 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye
                    believed.

    015:012 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say
                    some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

    015:013 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ
                    not risen:

    015:014 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and
                    your faith is also vain.

    015:015 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.

    015:016 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:

    015:017 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in
                    your sins.

    015:018 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

    015:019 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men
                    most miserable.

    015:020 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the
                    firstfruits of them that slept.

    015:021 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection
                    of the dead.

    015:022 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made
                    alive.

    015:023 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits;
                    afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

    015:024 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.

    015:025 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his
                    feet.

    015:026 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

    015:027 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.

    015:028 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.

    015:029 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?

    015:030 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?

    015:031 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our
                    Lord, I die daily.

    015:032 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.

    015:033 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

    015:034 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the
                    knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

    015:035 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with
                    what body do they come?

    015:036 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it
                    die:

    015:037 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:

    015:038 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every
                    seed his own body.

    015:039 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of
                    flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and
                    another of birds.

    015:040 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
                    the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the
                    terrestrial is another.

    015:041 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.

    015:042 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
                    corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

    015:043 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in
                    weakness; it is raised in power:

    015:044 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
                    There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

    015:045 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living
                    soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

    015:046 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which
                    is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

    015:047 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the
                    Lord from heaven.

    015:048 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as
                    is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

    015:049 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also
                    bear the image of the heavenly.

    015:050 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
                    the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
                    incorruption.

    015:051 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
                    shall all be changed,

    015:052 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.

    015:053 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal
                    must put on immortality.

    015:054 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, 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.

    015:055 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

    015:056 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

    015:057 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our
                    Lord Jesus Christ.

    015:058 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable,
                    always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
                    that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

    016:001 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given
                    order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.

    016:002 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him
                    in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no
                    gatherings when I come.

    016:003 And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters,
                    them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.

    016:004 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

    016:005 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia:
                    for I do pass through Macedonia.

    016:006 And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you,
                    that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.

    016:007 For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a
                    while with you, if the Lord permit.

    016:008 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

    016:009 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there
                    are many adversaries.

    016:010 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.

    016:011 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.

    016:012 As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come
                    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.

    016:013 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be
                    strong.

    016:014 Let all your things be done with charity.

    016:015 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that
                    it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted
                    themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

    016:016 That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that
                    helpeth with us, and laboureth.

    016:017 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and
                    Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have
                    supplied.

    016:018 For they have refreshed my spirit and your's: therefore
                    acknowledge ye them that are such.

    016:019 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute
                    you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

    016:020 All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy
                    kiss.

    016:021 The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.

    016:022 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema
                    Maranatha.

    016:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

    016:024 My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

    Book 47 2 Corinthians



    001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
                    Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at
                    Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:

    001:002 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the
                    Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:003 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
                    Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

    001:004 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able
                    to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort
                    wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

    001:005 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
                    consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

    001:006 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and
                    salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same
                    sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,
                    it is for your consolation and salvation.

    001:007 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are
                    partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the
                    consolation.

    001:008 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:

    001:009 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should
                    not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

    001:010 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in
                    whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;

    001:011 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.

    001:012 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience,
                    that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
                    wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation
                    in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

    001:013 For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or
                    acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

    001:014 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.

    001:015 And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before,
                    that ye might have a second benefit;

    001:016 And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of
                    Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward
                    Judaea.

    001:017 When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the
                    things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh,
                    that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?

    001:018 But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.

    001:019 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you
                    by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and
                    nay, but in him was yea.

    001:020 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen,
                    unto the glory of God by us.

    001:021 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath
                    anointed us, is God;

    001:022 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit
                    in our hearts.

    001:023 Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare
                    you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

    001:024 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers
                    of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

    002:001 But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again
                    to you in heaviness.

    002:002 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad,
                    but the same which is made sorry by me?

    002:003 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should
                    have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having
                    confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

    002:004 For out of much affliction 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 abundantly unto you.

    002:005 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in
                    part: that I may not overcharge you all.

    002:006 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was
                    inflicted of many.

    002:007 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and
                    comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up
                    with overmuch sorrow.

    002:008 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward
                    him.

    002:009 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof
                    of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

    002:010 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave
                    any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it
                    in the person of Christ;

    002:011 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not
                    ignorant of his devices.

    002:012 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel,
                    and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

    002:013 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my
                    brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into
                    Macedonia.

    002:014 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.

    002:015 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are
                    saved, and in them that perish:

    002:016 To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the
                    other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for
                    these things?

    002:017 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.

    003:001 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some
                    others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of
                    commendation from you?

    003:002 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of
                    all men:

    003:003 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
                    fleshy tables of the heart.

    003:004 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

    003:005 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as
                    of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

    003:006 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.

    003:007 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
                    countenance; which glory was to be done away:

    003:008 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather
                    glorious?

    003:009 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more
                    doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

    003:010 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this
                    respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.

    003:011 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that
                    which remaineth is glorious.

    003:012 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of
                    speech:

    003:013 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the
                    children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of
                    that which is abolished:

    003:014 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the
                    same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
                    which vail is done away in Christ.

    003:015 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon
                    their heart.

    003:016 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be
                    taken away.

    003:017 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord
                    is, there is liberty.

    003:018 But we all, with open face beholding 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.

    004:001 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received
                    mercy, we faint not;

    004:002 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not
                    walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God
                    deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending
                    ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

    004:003 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

    004:004 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them
                    which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of
                    Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

    004:005 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and
                    ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

    004:006 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.

    004:007 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
                    excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

    004:008 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are
                    perplexed, but not in despair;

    004:009 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

    004:010 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.

    004:011 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus'
                    sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in
                    our mortal flesh.

    004:012 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

    004:013 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is
                    written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also
                    believe, and therefore speak;

    004:014 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up
                    us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

    004:015 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace
                    might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of
                    God.

    004:016 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man
                    perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

    004:017 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh
                    for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

    004:018 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.

    005:001 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
                    dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
                    hands, eternal in the heavens.

    005:002 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon
                    with our house which is from heaven:

    005:003 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

    005:004 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.

    005:005 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who
                    also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

    005:006 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are
                    at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

    005:007 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

    005:008 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from
                    the body, and to be present with the Lord.

    005:009 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may
                    be accepted of him.

    005:010 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.

    005:011 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.

    005:012 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you
                    occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to
                    answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.

    005:013 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether
                    we be sober, it is for your cause.

    005:014 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge,
                    that if one died for all, then were all dead:

    005:015 And that he died for all, that they which live should not
                    henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
                    them, and rose again.

    005:016 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea,
                    though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now
                    henceforth know we him no more.

    005:017 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
                    things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

    005:018 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
                    by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
                    reconciliation;

    005:019 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.

    005:020 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
                    beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
                    reconciled to God.

    005:021 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that
                    we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    006:001 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that
                    ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

    006:002 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in
                    the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the
                    accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

    006:003 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not
                    blamed:

    006:004 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God,
                    in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
                    distresses,

    006:005 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in
                    watchings, in fastings;

    006:006 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by
                    the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

    006:007 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of
                    righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

    006:008 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as
                    deceivers, and yet true;

    006:009 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we
                    live; as chastened, and not killed;

    006:010 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many
                    rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

    006:011 O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is
                    enlarged.

    006:012 Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own
                    bowels.

    006:013 Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my
                    children,) be ye also enlarged.

    006:014 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what
                    fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
                    communion hath light with darkness?

    006:015 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he
                    that believeth with an infidel?

    006:016 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye
                    are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will
                    dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and
                    they shall be my people.

    006:017 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith
                    the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
                    you.

    006:018 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and
                    daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

    007:001 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us
                    cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
                    perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

    007:002 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man,
                    we have defrauded no man.

    007:003 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that
                    ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

    007:004 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my
                    glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding
                    joyful in all our tribulation.

    007:005 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.

    007:006 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down,
                    comforted us by the coming of Titus;

    007:007 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith
                    he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire,
                    your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced
                    the more.

    007:008 For though I made you sorry 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.

    007:009 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.

    007:010 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be
                    repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

    007:011 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.

    007:012 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 in the sight of God might
                    appear unto you.

    007:013 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
                    exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because
                    his spirit was refreshed by you all.

    007:014 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
                    our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

    007:015 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst
                    he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and
                    trembling ye received him.

    007:016 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all
                    things.

    008:001 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God
                    bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

    008:002 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their
                    joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their
                    liberality.

    008:003 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power
                    they were willing of themselves;

    008:004 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift,
                    and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the
                    saints.

    008:005 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.

    008:006 Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he
                    would also finish in you the same grace also.

    008:007 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.

    008:008 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness
                    of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

    008:009 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.

    008:010 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.

    008:011 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.

    008:012 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.

    008:013 For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:

    008:014 But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may
                    be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a
                    supply for your want: that there may be equality:

    008:015 As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over;
                    and he that had gathered little had no lack.

    008:016 But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the
                    heart of Titus for you.

    008:017 For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more
                    forward, of his own accord he went unto you.

    008:018 And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the
                    gospel throughout all the churches;

    008:019 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 ready
                    mind:

    008:020 Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance
                    which is administered by us:

    008:021 Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the
                    Lord, but also in the sight of men.

    008:022 And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have
                    oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more
                    diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.

    008:023 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and
                    fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of,
                    they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of
                    Christ.

    008:024 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof
                    of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

    009:001 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is
                    superfluous for me to write to you:

    009:002 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.

    009:003 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:

    009:004 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you
                    unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this
                    same confident boasting.

    009:005 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.

    009:006 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also
                    sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
                    bountifully.

    009:007 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him
                    give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a
                    cheerful giver.

    009:008 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:

    009:009 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to
                    the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

    009:010 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread
                    for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the
                    fruits of your righteousness;)

    009:011 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which
                    causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

    009:012 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the
                    want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings
                    unto God;

    009:013 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;

    009:014 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the
                    exceeding grace of God in you.

    009:015 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

    010:001 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness
                    of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent
                    am bold toward you:

    010:002 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
                    flesh.

    010:003 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the
                    flesh:

    010:004 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
                    through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

    010:005 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;

    010:006 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
                    your obedience is fulfilled.

    010:007 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.

    010:008 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority,
                    which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your
                    destruction, I should not be ashamed:

    010:009 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.

    010:010 For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his
                    bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.

    010:011 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.

    010:012 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
                    ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
                    measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves
                    among themselves, are not wise.

    010:013 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but
                    according to the measure of the rule which God hath
                    distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

    010:014 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
                    preaching the gospel of Christ:

    010:015 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 be enlarged by you according to our rule
                    abundantly,

    010:016 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.

    010:017 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

    010:018 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the
                    Lord commendeth.

    011:001 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and
                    indeed bear with me.

    011:002 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have
                    espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a
                    chaste virgin to Christ.

    011:003 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve
                    through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from
                    the simplicity that is in Christ.

    011:004 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.

    011:005 For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest
                    apostles.

    011:006 But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we
                    have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

    011:007 Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be
                    exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God
                    freely?

    011:008 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you
                    service.

    011:009 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable
                    to no man: for that which was lacking 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.

    011:010 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this
                    boasting in the regions of Achaia.

    011:011 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.

    011:012 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.

    011:013 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
                    themselves into the apostles of Christ.

    011:014 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel
                    of light.

    011:015 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.

    011:016 I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as
                    a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

    011:017 That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it
                    were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.

    011:018 Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.

    011:019 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

    011:020 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man
                    devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a
                    man smite you on the face.

    011:021 I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.
                    Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am
                    bold also.

    011:022 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are
                    they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

    011:023 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more;
                    in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons
                    more frequent, in deaths oft.

    011:024 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

    011:025 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I
                    suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

    011:026 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of
                    robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the
                    heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness,
                    in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

    011:027 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger
                    and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

    011:028 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon
                    me daily, the care of all the churches.

    011:029 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn
                    not?

    011:030 If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which
                    concern mine infirmities.

    011:031 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed
                    for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

    011:032 In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city
                    of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

    011:033 And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall,
                    and escaped his hands.

    012:001 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to
                    visions and revelations of the Lord.

    012:002 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in
                    the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot
                    tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.

    012:003 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the
                    body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)

    012:004 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable
                    words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

    012:005 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory,
                    but in mine infirmities.

    012:006 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for
                    I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should
                    think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he
                    heareth of me.

    012:007 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the
                    abundance 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.

    012:008 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might
                    depart from me.

    012:009 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.

    012:010 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in
                    necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake:
                    for when I am weak, then am I strong.

    012:011 I am become a fool in glorying; 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 be nothing.

    012:012 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all
                    patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.

    012:013 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches,
                    except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive
                    me this wrong.

    012:014 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.

    012:015 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the
                    more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

    012:016 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being
                    crafty, I caught you with guile.

    012:017 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?

    012:018 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make
                    a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not
                    in the same steps?

    012:019 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak
                    before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved,
                    for your edifying.

    012:020 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:

    012:021 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 fornication and
                    lasciviousness which they have committed.

    013:001 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two
                    or three witnesses shall every word be established.

    013:002 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:

    013:003 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to
                    you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

    013:004 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.

    013:005 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?

    013:006 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

    013:007 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 reprobates.

    013:008 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

    013:009 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this
                    also we wish, even your perfection.

    013:010 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.

    013:011 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort,
                    be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace
                    shall be with you.

    013:012 Greet one another with an holy kiss.

    013:013 All the saints salute you.

    013:014 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and
                    the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

    Book 48 Galatians



    001:001 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus
                    Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

    001:002 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of
                    Galatia:

    001:003 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our
                    Lord Jesus Christ,

    001:004 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from
                    this present evil world, according to the will of God and our
                    Father:

    001:005 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    001:006 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
                    into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

    001:007 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and
                    would pervert the gospel of Christ.

    001:008 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 accursed.

    001:009 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any
                    other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be
                    accursed.

    001:010 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.

    001:011 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
                    preached of me is not after man.

    001:012 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but
                    by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

    001:013 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews'
                    religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of
                    God, and wasted it:

    001:014 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in
                    mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the
                    traditions of my fathers.

    001:015 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's
                    womb, and called me by his grace,

    001:016 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the
                    heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

    001:017 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles
                    before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
                    Damascus.

    001:018 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter,
                    and abode with him fifteen days.

    001:019 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's
                    brother.

    001:020 Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I
                    lie not.

    001:021 Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;

    001:022 And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were
                    in Christ:

    001:023 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times
                    past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

    001:024 And they glorified God in me.

    002:001 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with
                    Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.

    002:002 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that
                    gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to
                    them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run,
                    or had run, in vain.

    002:003 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was
                    compelled to be circumcised:

    002:004 And that because of false brethren 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:

    002:005 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that
                    the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

    002:006 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were,
                    it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for
                    they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to
                    me:

    002:007 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the
                    uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the
                    circumcision was unto Peter;

    002:008 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship
                    of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
                    Gentiles:)

    002:009 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars,
                    perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me
                    and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go
                    unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.

    002:010 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same
                    which I also was forward to do.

    002:011 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the
                    face, because he was to be blamed.

    002:012 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the
                    Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated
                    himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

    002:013 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that
                    Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

    002:014 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the
                    truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If
                    thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and
                    not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live
                    as do the Jews?

    002:015 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

    002:016 Knowing that a man 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 might be justified by the faith of
                    Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of
                    the law shall no flesh be justified.

    002:017 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.

    002:018 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make
                    myself a transgressor.

    002:019 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live
                    unto God.

    002:020 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but
                    Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
                    flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
                    gave himself for me.

    002:021 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come
                    by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

    003:001 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?

    003:002 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the
                    works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

    003:003 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made
                    perfect by the flesh?

    003:004 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

    003:005 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh
                    miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by
                    the hearing of faith?

    003:006 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
                    righteousness.

    003:007 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are
                    the children of Abraham.

    003:008 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.

    003:009 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful
                    Abraham.

    003:010 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the
                    curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth
                    not in all things which are written in the book of the law to
                    do them.

    003:011 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God,
                    it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

    003:012 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them
                    shall live in them.

    003:013 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:

    003:014 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
                    through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the
                    Spirit through faith.

    003:015 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a
                    man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth,
                    or addeth thereto.

    003:016 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith
                    not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed,
                    which is Christ.

    003:017 And this I say, that the covenant, 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.

    003:018 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of
                    promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

    003:019 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of
                    transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise
                    was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a
                    mediator.

    003:020 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

    003:021 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 righteousness should have been by the law.

    003:022 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the
                    promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that
                    believe.

    003:023 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up
                    unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

    003:024 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto
                    Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

    003:025 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
                    schoolmaster.

    003:026 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

    003:027 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put
                    on Christ.

    003:028 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.

    003:029 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs
                    according to the promise.

    004:001 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth
                    nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

    004:002 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of
                    the father.

    004:003 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the
                    elements of the world:

    004:004 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his
                    Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

    004:005 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive
                    the adoption of sons.

    004:006 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his
                    Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

    004:007 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son,
                    then an heir of God through Christ.

    004:008 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them
                    which by nature are no gods.

    004:009 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?

    004:010 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

    004:011 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in
                    vain.

    004:012 Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye
                    have not injured me at all.

    004:013 Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the
                    gospel unto you at the first.

    004:014 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor
                    rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ
                    Jesus.

    004:015 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 them to me.

    004:016 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the
                    truth?

    004:017 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would
                    exclude you, that ye might affect them.

    004:018 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good
                    thing, and not only when I am present with you.

    004:019 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until
                    Christ be formed in you,

    004:020 I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice;
                    for I stand in doubt of you.

    004:021 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear
                    the law?

    004:022 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a
                    bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

    004:023 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but
                    he of the freewoman was by promise.

    004:024 Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants;
                    the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage,
                    which is Agar.

    004:025 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to
                    Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

    004:026 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of
                    us all.

    004:027 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not;
                    break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the
                    desolate hath many more children than she which hath an
                    husband.

    004:028 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

    004:029 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him
                    that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

    004:030 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman
                    and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir
                    with the son of the freewoman.

    004:031 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but
                    of the free.

    005:001 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made
                    us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

    005:002 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ
                    shall profit you nothing.

    005:003 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he
                    is a debtor to do the whole law.

    005:004 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are
                    justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

    005:005 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness
                    by faith.

    005:006 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing,
                    nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

    005:007 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey
                    the truth?

    005:008 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

    005:009 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

    005:010 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be
                    none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear
                    his judgment, whosoever he be.

    005:011 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet
                    suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

    005:012 I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

    005:013 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not
                    liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one
                    another.

    005:014 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou
                    shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    005:015 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be
                    not consumed one of another.

    005:016 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil
                    the lust of the flesh.

    005:017 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.

    005:018 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

    005:019 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
                    Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

    005:020 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
                    strife, seditions, heresies,

    005:021 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, 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.

    005:022 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
                    longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

    005:023 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

    005:024 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the
                    affections and lusts.

    005:025 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

    005:026 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another,
                    envying one another.

    006:001 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
                    spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness;
                    considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

    006:002 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of
                    Christ.

    006:003 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
                    nothing, he deceiveth himself.

    006:004 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have
                    rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

    006:005 For every man shall bear his own burden.

    006:006 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that
                    teacheth in all good things.

    006:007 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
                    soweth, that shall he also reap.

    006:008 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
                    corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the
                    Spirit reap life everlasting.

    006:009 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we
                    shall reap, if we faint not.

    006:010 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
                    especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

    006:011 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine
                    own hand.

    006:012 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.

    006:013 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law;
                    but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in
                    your flesh.

    006:014 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.

    006:015 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing,
                    nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

    006:016 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them,
                    and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

    006:017 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body
                    the marks of the Lord Jesus.

    006:018 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your
                    spirit. Amen.

    Book 49 Ephesians



    001:001 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:

    001:002 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the
                    Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
                    hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
                    places in Christ:

    001:004 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:

    001:005 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
                    Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

    001:006 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made
                    us accepted in the beloved.

    001:007 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness
                    of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    001:008 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

    001:009 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according
                    to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

    001:010 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might
                    gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in
                    heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

    001:011 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:

    001:012 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
                    trusted in Christ.

    001:013 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 promise,

    001:014 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption
                    of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

    001:015 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
                    Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

    001:016 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my
                    prayers;

    001:017 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
                    may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
                    knowledge of him:

    001:018 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may
                    know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of
                    the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

    001:019 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
                    who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

    001:020 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead,
                    and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

    001:021 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:

    001:022 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the
                    head over all things to the church,

    001:023 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

    002:001 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and
                    sins;

    002:002 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 worketh in the children of disobedience:

    002:003 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.

    002:004 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
                    loved us,

    002:005 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together
                    with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

    002:006 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in
                    heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

    002:007 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of
                    his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

    002:008 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
                    yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    002:009 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    002:010 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good
                    works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in
                    them.

    002:011 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the
                    flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called
                    the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

    002:012 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from
                    the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
                    of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

    002:013 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made
                    nigh by the blood of Christ.

    002:014 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
                    down the middle wall of partition between us;

    002:015 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of
                    commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself
                    of twain one new man, so making peace;

    002:016 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
                    cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

    002:017 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to
                    them that were nigh.

    002:018 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the
                    Father.

    002:019 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
                    fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

    002:020 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
                    prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

    002:021 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
                    holy temple in the Lord:

    002:022 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God
                    through the Spirit.

    003:001 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you
                    Gentiles,

    003:002 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which
                    is given me to you-ward:

    003:003 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as
                    I wrote afore in few words,

    003:004 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the
                    mystery of Christ)

    003:005 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men,
                    as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by
                    the Spirit;

    003:006 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body,
                    and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

    003:007 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.

    003:008 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;

    003:009 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
                    which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
                    who created all things by Jesus Christ:

    003:010 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
                    heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold
                    wisdom of God,

    003:011 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ
                    Jesus our Lord:

    003:012 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the
                    faith of him.

    003:013 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for
                    you, which is your glory.

    003:014 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
                    Jesus Christ,

    003:015 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

    003:016 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory,
                    to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

    003:017 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being
                    rooted and grounded in love,

    003:018 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
                    and length, and depth, and height;

    003:019 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that
                    ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

    003:020 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all
                    that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in
                    us,

    003:021 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
                    ages, world without end. Amen.

    004:001 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye
                    walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

    004:002 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
                    forbearing one another in love;

    004:003 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of
                    peace.

    004:004 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in
                    one hope of your calling;

    004:005 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

    004:006 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all,
                    and in you all.

    004:007 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the
                    measure of the gift of Christ.

    004:008 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
                    captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

    004:009 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended
                    first into the lower parts of the earth?

    004:010 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above
                    all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

    004:011 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
                    evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

    004:012 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
                    ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

    004:013 Till we all come in the unity 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:

    004:014 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
                    carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
                    men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to
                    deceive;

    004:015 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all
                    things, which is the head, even Christ:

    004:016 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted
                    by that which every joint supplieth, according to the
                    effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh
                    increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

    004:017 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
                    henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of
                    their mind,

    004:018 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the
                    life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of
                    the blindness of their heart:

    004:019 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto
                    lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

    004:020 But ye have not so learned Christ;

    004:021 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him,
                    as the truth is in Jesus:

    004:022 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old
                    man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

    004:023 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

    004:024 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in
                    righteousness and true holiness.

    004:025 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his
                    neighbour: for we are members one of another.

    004:026 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your
                    wrath:

    004:027 Neither give place to the devil.

    004:028 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour,
                    working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may
                    have to give to him that needeth.

    004:029 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but
                    that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may
                    minister grace unto the hearers.

    004:030 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
                    unto the day of redemption.

    004:031 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and
                    evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

    004:032 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
                    another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

    005:001 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

    005:002 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given
                    himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a
                    sweetsmelling savour.

    005:003 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it
                    not be once named among you, as becometh saints;

    005:004 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which
                    are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.

    005:005 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor
                    covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the
                    kingdom of Christ and of God.

    005:006 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these
                    things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
                    disobedience.

    005:007 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

    005:008 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the
                    Lord: walk as children of light:

    005:009 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and
                    righteousness and truth;)

    005:010 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

    005:011 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
                    but rather reprove them.

    005:012 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done
                    of them in secret.

    005:013 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
                    light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

    005:014 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from
                    the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

    005:015 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as
                    wise,

    005:016 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

    005:017 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of
                    the Lord is.

    005:018 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled
                    with the Spirit;

    005:019 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
                    songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

    005:020 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in
                    the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

    005:021 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

    005:022 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the
                    Lord.

    005:023 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the
                    head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

    005:024 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the
                    wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

    005:025 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
                    church, and gave himself for it;

    005:026 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
                    water by the word,

    005:027 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
                    having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should
                    be holy and without blemish.

    005:028 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that
                    loveth his wife loveth himself.

    005:029 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and
                    cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

    005:030 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
                    bones.

    005:031 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
                    shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one
                    flesh.

    005:032 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the
                    church.

    005:033 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his
                    wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her
                    husband.

    006:001 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

    006:002 Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment
                    with promise;

    006:003 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on
                    the earth.

    006:004 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring
                    them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

    006:005 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according
                    to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your
                    heart, as unto Christ;

    006:006 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of
                    Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

    006:007 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

    006:008 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same
                    shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

    006:009 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing
                    threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven;
                    neither is there respect of persons with him.

    006:010 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power
                    of his might.

    006:011 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand
                    against the wiles of the devil.

    006:012 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
                    principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
                    darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
                    places.

    006:013 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may
                    be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
                    stand.

    006:014 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and
                    having on the breastplate of righteousness;

    006:015 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
                    peace;

    006:016 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
                    able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

    006:017 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
                    which is the word of God:

    006:018 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
                    and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication
                    for all saints;

    006:019 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may
                    open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

    006:020 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may
                    speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

    006:021 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus,
                    a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall
                    make known to you all things:

    006:022 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might
                    know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

    006:023 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the
                    Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    006:024 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in
                    sincerity. Amen.

    Book 50 Philippians



    001:001 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the
                    saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops
                    and deacons:

    001:002 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from
                    the Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:003 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

    001:004 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with
                    joy,

    001:005 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until
                    now;

    001:006 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:

    001:007 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I
                    have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the
                    defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers
                    of my grace.

    001:008 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the
                    bowels of Jesus Christ.

    001:009 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more
                    in knowledge and in all judgment;

    001:010 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be
                    sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.

    001:011 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by
                    Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

    001:012 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things
                    which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the
                    furtherance of the gospel;

    001:013 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and
                    in all other places;

    001:014 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my
                    bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

    001:015 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some
                    also of good will:

    001:016 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing
                    to add affliction to my bonds:

    001:017 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence
                    of the gospel.

    001:018 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or
                    in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea,
                    and will rejoice.

    001:019 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your
                    prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

    001:020 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in
                    nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as
                    always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
                    whether it be by life, or by death.

    001:021 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

    001:022 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour:
                    yet what I shall choose I wot not.

    001:023 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart,
                    and to be with Christ; which is far better:

    001:024 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

    001:025 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and
                    continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

    001:026 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for
                    me by my coming to you again.

    001:027 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;

    001:028 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.

    001:029 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to
                    believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

    001:030 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to
                    be in me.

    002:001 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any
                    comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
                    bowels and mercies,

    002:002 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,
                    being of one accord, of one mind.

    002:003 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
                    lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
                    themselves.

    002:004 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on
                    the things of others.

    002:005 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

    002:006 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
                    equal with God:

    002:007 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form
                    of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

    002:008 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
                    became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

    002:009 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
                    name which is above every name:

    002:010 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in
                    heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

    002:011 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
                    Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

    002:012 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my
                    presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your
                    own salvation with fear and trembling.

    002:013 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of
                    his good pleasure.

    002:014 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

    002:015 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;

    002:016 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.

    002:017 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of
                    your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

    002:018 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

    002:019 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.

    002:020 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your
                    state.

    002:021 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus
                    Christ's.

    002:022 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father,
                    he hath served with me in the gospel.

    002:023 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see
                    how it will go with me.

    002:024 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

    002:025 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my
                    brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your
                    messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

    002:026 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness,
                    because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

    002:027 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on
                    him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have
                    sorrow upon sorrow.

    002:028 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him
                    again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

    002:029 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold
                    such in reputation:

    002:030 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not
                    regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

    003:001 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same
                    things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is
                    safe.

    003:002 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the
                    concision.

    003:003 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit,
                    and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the
                    flesh.

    003:004 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other
                    man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh,
                    I more:

    003:005 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the
                    tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the
                    law, a Pharisee;

    003:006 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the
                    righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

    003:007 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for
                    Christ.

    003:008 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 may win Christ,

    003:009 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:

    003:010 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and
                    the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto
                    his death;

    003:011 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the
                    dead.

    003:012 Not as though I had already attained, either were already
                    perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for
                    which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

    003:013 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,

    003:014 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of
                    God in Christ Jesus.

    003:015 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and
                    if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even
                    this unto you.

    003:016 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by
                    the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

    003:017 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which
                    walk so as ye have us for an ensample.

    003:018 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
                    you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of
                    Christ:

    003:019 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose
                    glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

    003:020 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look
                    for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

    003:021 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 himself.

    004:001 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy
                    and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.

    004:002 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the
                    same mind in the Lord.

    004:003 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women
                    which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and
                    with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of
                    life.

    004:004 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.

    004:005 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at
                    hand.

    004:006 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
                    supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known
                    unto God.

    004:007 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall
                    keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

    004:008 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
                    things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
                    things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
                    things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if
                    there be any praise, think on these things.

    004:009 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.

    004:010 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.

    004:011 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in
                    whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

    004:012 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every
                    where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to
                    be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

    004:013 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

    004:014 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate
                    with my affliction.

    004:015 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.

    004:016 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my
                    necessity.

    004:017 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may
                    abound to your account.

    004:018 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of
                    Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of
                    a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

    004:019 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches
                    in glory by Christ Jesus.

    004:020 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    004:021 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are
                    with me greet you.

    004:022 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's
                    household.

    004:023 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

    Book 51 Colossians



    001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
                    Timotheus our brother,

    001:002 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at
                    Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and
                    the Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:003 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
                    praying always for you,

    001:004 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love
                    which ye have to all the saints,

    001:005 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye
                    heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

    001:006 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and
                    bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye
                    heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

    001:007 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is
                    for you a faithful minister of Christ;

    001:008 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

    001:009 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not
                    cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled
                    with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual
                    understanding;

    001:010 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being
                    fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge
                    of God;

    001:011 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power,
                    unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

    001:012 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be
                    partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

    001:013 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
                    translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

    001:014 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the
                    forgiveness of sins:

    001:015 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
                    creature:

    001:016 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and
                    that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
                    thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
                    things were created by him, and for him:

    001:017 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

    001:018 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
                    beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he
                    might have the preeminence.

    001:019 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness
                    dwell;

    001:020 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him
                    to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether
                    they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

    001:021 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind
                    by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

    001:022 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy
                    and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

    001:023 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not
                    moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard,
                    and which was preached to every creature which is under
                    heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

    001:024 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that
                    which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for
                    his body's sake, which is the church:

    001:025 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of
                    God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

    001:026 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
                    generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

    001:027 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory
                    of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you,
                    the hope of glory:

    001:028 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in
                    all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ
                    Jesus:

    001:029 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working,
                    which worketh in me mightily.

    002:001 For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you,
                    and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my
                    face in the flesh;

    002:002 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
                    love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
                    understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God,
                    and of the Father, and of Christ;

    002:003 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

    002:004 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing
                    words.

    002:005 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the
                    spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness
                    of your faith in Christ.

    002:006 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk
                    ye in him:

    002:007 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye
                    have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

    002:008 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain
                    deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the
                    world, and not after Christ.

    002:009 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

    002:010 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
                    principality and power:

    002:011 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made
                    without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the
                    flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

    002:012 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him
                    through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him
                    from the dead.

    002:013 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of
                    your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having
                    forgiven you all trespasses;

    002:014 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against
                    us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
                    nailing it to his cross;

    002:015 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew
                    of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

    002:016 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
                    respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath
                    days:

    002:017 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of
                    Christ.

    002:018 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility
                    and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which
                    he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

    002:019 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints
                    and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together,
                    increaseth with the increase of God.

    002:020 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the
                    world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to
                    ordinances,

    002:021 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

    002:022 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
                    commandments and doctrines of men?

    002:023 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and
                    humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the
                    satisfying of the flesh.

    003:001 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are
                    above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

    003:002 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
                    earth.

    003:003 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

    003:004 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
                    appear with him in glory.

    003:005 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
                    fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil
                    concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

    003:006 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children
                    of disobedience:

    003:007 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

    003:008 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,
                    blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

    003:009 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old
                    man with his deeds;

    003:010 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge
                    after the image of him that created him:

    003:011 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
                    uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ
                    is all, and in all.

    003:012 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
                    bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
                    longsuffering;

    003:013 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man
                    have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so
                    also do ye.

    003:014 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond
                    of perfectness.

    003:015 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which
                    also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

    003:016 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
                    teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and
                    spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the
                    Lord.

    003:017 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of
                    the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

    003:018 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit
                    in the Lord.

    003:019 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

    003:020 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well
                    pleasing unto the Lord.

    003:021 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be
                    discouraged.

    003:022 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the
                    flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness
                    of heart, fearing God;

    003:023 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not
                    unto men;

    003:024 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the
                    inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

    003:025 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he
                    hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

    004:001 Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal;
                    knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

    004:002 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

    004:003 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door
                    of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am
                    also in bonds:

    004:004 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

    004:005 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the
                    time.

    004:006 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that
                    ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

    004:007 All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved
                    brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the
                    Lord:

    004:008 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might
                    know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

    004:009 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of
                    you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done
                    here.

    004:010 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus,
                    sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received
                    commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)

    004:011 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the
                    circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom
                    of God, which have been a comfort unto me.

    004:012 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth
                    you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye
                    may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.

    004:013 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and
                    them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.

    004:014 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.

    004:015 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and
                    the church which is in his house.

    004:016 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read
                    also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise
                    read the epistle from Laodicea.

    004:017 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou
                    hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

    004:018 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds.
                    Grace be with you. Amen.

    Book 52 1 Thessalonians



    001:001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
                    Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus
                    Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and
                    the Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:002 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of
                    you in our prayers;

    001:003 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of
                    love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the
                    sight of God and our Father;

    001:004 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

    001:005 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.

    001:006 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having
                    received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy
                    Ghost.

    001:007 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and
                    Achaia.

    001:008 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in
                    Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to
                    God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any
                    thing.

    001:009 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;

    001:010 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the
                    dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

    002:001 For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that
                    it was not in vain:

    002:002 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.

    002:003 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor
                    in guile:

    002:004 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.

    002:005 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know,
                    nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:

    002:006 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others,
                    when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

    002:007 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her
                    children:

    002:008 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to
                    have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also
                    our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

    002:009 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.

    002:010 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and
                    unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

    002:011 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one
                    of you, as a father doth his children,

    002:012 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his
                    kingdom and glory.

    002:013 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 effectually worketh also in you that
                    believe.

    002:014 For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God
                    which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered
                    like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the
                    Jews:

    002:015 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and
                    have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary
                    to all men:

    002:016 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.

    002:017 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.

    002:018 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and
                    again; but Satan hindered us.

    002:019 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?

    002:020 For ye are our glory and joy.

    003:001 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good
                    to be left at Athens alone;

    003:002 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our
                    fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and
                    to comfort you concerning your faith:

    003:003 That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for
                    yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

    003:004 For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we
                    should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye
                    know.

    003:005 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know
                    your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you,
                    and our labour be in vain.

    003:006 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:

    003:007 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our
                    affliction and distress by your faith:

    003:008 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

    003:009 For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all
                    the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

    003:010 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face,
                    and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

    003:011 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
                    direct our way unto you.

    003:012 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one
                    toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

    003:013 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.

    004:001 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by
                    the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to
                    walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

    004:002 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

    004:003 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye
                    should abstain from fornication:

    004:004 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in
                    sanctification and honour;

    004:005 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which
                    know not God:

    004:006 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.

    004:007 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto
                    holiness.

    004:008 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who
                    hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

    004:009 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto
                    you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

    004:010 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all
                    Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more
                    and more;

    004:011 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business,
                    and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

    004:012 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and
                    that ye may have lack of nothing.

    004:013 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.

    004:014 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them
                    also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

    004:015 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we
                    which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
                    not prevent them which are asleep.

    004:016 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
                    with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:
                    and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

    004:017 Then we which are alive and remain 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.

    004:018 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

    005:001 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need
                    that I write unto you.

    005:002 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so
                    cometh as a thief in the night.

    005:003 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.

    005:004 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should
                    overtake you as a thief.

    005:005 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:
                    we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

    005:006 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and
                    be sober.

    005:007 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be
                    drunken are drunken in the night.

    005:008 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.

    005:009 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain
                    salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

    005:010 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should
                    live together with him.

    005:011 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another,
                    even as also ye do.

    005:012 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among
                    you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

    005:013 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.
                    And be at peace among yourselves.

    005:014 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly,
                    comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward
                    all men.

    005:015 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever
                    follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all
                    men.

    005:016 Rejoice evermore.

    005:017 Pray without ceasing.

    005:018 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in
                    Christ Jesus concerning you.

    005:019 Quench not the Spirit.

    005:020 Despise not prophesyings.

    005:021 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

    005:022 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

    005:023 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 coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    005:024 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

    005:025 Brethren, pray for us.

    005:026 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

    005:027 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all
                    the holy brethren.

    005:028 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

    Book 53 2 Thessalonians



    001:001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
                    Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

    001:002 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
                    Jesus Christ.

    001:003 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;

    001:004 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for
                    your patience and faith in all your persecutions and
                    tribulations that ye endure:

    001:005 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God,
                    that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which
                    ye also suffer:

    001:006 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense
                    tribulation to them that trouble you;

    001:007 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
                    shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

    001:008 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
                    and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

    001:009 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the
                    presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

    001:010 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be
                    admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among
                    you was believed) in that day.

    001:011 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:

    001:012 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.

    002:001 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

    002:002 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by
                    spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day
                    of Christ is at hand.

    002:003 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
                    come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of
                    sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

    002:004 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
                    God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
                    temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

    002:005 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you
                    these things?

    002:006 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in
                    his time.

    002:007 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now
                    letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

    002:008 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
                    consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with
                    the brightness of his coming:

    002:009 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all
                    power and signs and lying wonders,

    002:010 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
                    perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that
                    they might be saved.

    002:011 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
                    they should believe a lie:

    002:012 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
                    had pleasure in unrighteousness.

    002:013 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren
                    beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning
                    chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit
                    and belief of the truth:

    002:014 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the
                    glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    002:015 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which
                    ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

    002:016 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,

    002:017 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and
                    work.

    003:001 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may
                    have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

    003:002 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men:
                    for all men have not faith.

    003:003 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you
                    from evil.

    003:004 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both
                    do and will do the things which we command you.

    003:005 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into
                    the patient waiting for Christ.

    003:006 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that
                    walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he
                    received of us.

    003:007 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved
                    not ourselves disorderly among you;

    003:008 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought
                    with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be
                    chargeable to any of you:

    003:009 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an
                    ensample unto you to follow us.

    003:010 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if
                    any would not work, neither should he eat.

    003:011 For we hear that there are some which walk among you
                    disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

    003:012 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own
                    bread.

    003:013 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

    003:014 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that
                    man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

    003:015 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

    003:016 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all
                    means. The Lord be with you all.

    003:017 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token
                    in every epistle: so I write.

    003:018 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

    Book 54 1 Timothy



    001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our
                    Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;

    001:002 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and
                    peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

    001:003 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into
                    Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no
                    other doctrine,

    001:004 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
                    minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
                    faith: so do.

    001:005 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart,
                    and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

    001:006 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
                    jangling;

    001:007 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what
                    they say, nor whereof they affirm.

    001:008 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

    001:009 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man,
                    but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
                    sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and
                    murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

    001:010 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
                    mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and
                    if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound
                    doctrine;

    001:011 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was
                    committed to my trust.

    001:012 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for
                    that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

    001:013 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious:
                    but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

    001:014 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith
                    and love which is in Christ Jesus.

    001:015 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that
                    Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am
                    chief.

    001:016 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first
                    Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern
                    to them which should hereafter believe on him to life
                    everlasting.

    001:017 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise
                    God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    001:018 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the
                    prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them
                    mightest war a good warfare;

    001:019 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put
                    away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

    001:020 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto
                    Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

    002:001 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,
                    prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all
                    men;

    002:002 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead
                    a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

    002:003 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
                    Saviour;

    002:004 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
                    knowledge of the truth.

    002:005 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men,
                    the man Christ Jesus;

    002:006 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
                    time.

    002:007 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak
                    the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles
                    in faith and verity.

    002:008 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy
                    hands, without wrath and doubting.

    002:009 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
                    apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided
                    hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

    002:010 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good
                    works.

    002:011 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

    002:012 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
                    the man, but to be in silence.

    002:013 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

    002:014 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in
                    the transgression.

    002:015 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they
                    continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

    003:001 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop,
                    he desireth a good work.

    003:002 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
                    vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt
                    to teach;

    003:003 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but
                    patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

    003:004 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
                    subjection with all gravity;

    003:005 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he
                    take care of the church of God?)

    003:006 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the
                    condemnation of the devil.

    003:007 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without;
                    lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

    003:008 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not
                    given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

    003:009 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

    003:010 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the
                    office of a deacon, being found blameless.

    003:011 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober,
                    faithful in all things.

    003:012 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their
                    children and their own houses well.

    003:013 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.

    003:014 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee
                    shortly:

    003:015 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.

    003:016 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God
                    was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
                    angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world,
                    received up into glory.

    004:001 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
                    some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
                    spirits, and doctrines of devils;

    004:002 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared
                    with a hot iron;

    004:003 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats,
                    which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of
                    them which believe and know the truth.

    004:004 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused,
                    if it be received with thanksgiving:

    004:005 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

    004:006 If thou put the brethren in remembrance 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.

    004:007 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself
                    rather unto godliness.

    004:008 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is
                    profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that
                    now is, and of that which is to come.

    004:009 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

    004:010 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we
                    trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
                    specially of those that believe.

    004:011 These things command and teach.

    004:012 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the
                    believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
                    faith, in purity.

    004:013 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to
                    doctrine.

    004:014 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by
                    prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

    004:015 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that
                    thy profiting may appear to all.

    004:016 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in
                    them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them
                    that hear thee.

    005:001 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the
                    younger men as brethren;

    005:002 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all
                    purity.

    005:003 Honour widows that are widows indeed.

    005:004 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn
                    first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for
                    that is good and acceptable before God.

    005:005 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God,
                    and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

    005:006 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

    005:007 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

    005:008 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of
                    his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an
                    infidel.

    005:009 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore
                    years old, having been the wife of one man.

    005:010 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up
                    children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the
                    saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have
                    diligently followed every good work.

    005:011 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax
                    wanton against Christ, they will marry;

    005:012 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first
                    faith.

    005:013 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house
                    to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies,
                    speaking things which they ought not.

    005:014 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children,
                    guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
                    reproachfully.

    005:015 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

    005:016 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them
                    relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may
                    relieve them that are widows indeed.

    005:017 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double
                    honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

    005:018 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that
                    treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his
                    reward.

    005:019 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or
                    three witnesses.

    005:020 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

    005:021 I 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.

    005:022 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other
                    men's sins: keep thyself pure.

    005:023 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's
                    sake and thine often infirmities.

    005:024 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment;
                    and some men they follow after.

    005:025 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand;
                    and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

    006:001 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own
                    masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his
                    doctrine be not blasphemed.

    006:002 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.

    006:003 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 according to godliness;

    006:004 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and
                    strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil
                    surmisings,

    006:005 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of
                    the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such
                    withdraw thyself.

    006:006 But godliness with contentment is great gain.

    006:007 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we
                    can carry nothing out.

    006:008 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

    006:009 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 perdition.

    006:010 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while
                    some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and
                    pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

    006:011 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
                    righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

    006:012 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
                    whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good
                    profession before many witnesses.

    006:013 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all
                    things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate
                    witnessed a good confession;

    006:014 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable,
                    until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

    006:015 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only
                    Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

    006:016 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man
                    can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom
                    be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

    006:017 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
                    highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living
                    God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

    006:018 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
                    distribute, willing to communicate;

    006:019 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against
                    the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

    006:020 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding
                    profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely
                    so called:

    006:021 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace
                    be with thee. Amen.

    Book 55 2 Timothy



    001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according
                    to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

    001:002 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace,
                    from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

    001:003 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure
                    conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in
                    my prayers night and day;

    001:004 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that
                    I may be filled with joy;

    001:005 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in
                    thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy
                    mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

    001:006 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift
                    of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

    001:007 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,
                    and of love, and of a sound mind.

    001:008 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
                    nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the
                    afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

    001:009 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not
                    according to our works, but according to his own purpose and
                    grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world
                    began,

    001:010 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus
                    Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and
                    immortality to light through the gospel:

    001:011 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a
                    teacher of the Gentiles.

    001:012 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I
                    am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am
                    persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed
                    unto him against that day.

    001:013 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of
                    me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

    001:014 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy
                    Ghost which dwelleth in us.

    001:015 This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned
                    away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

    001:016 The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft
                    refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:

    001:017 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently,
                    and found me.

    001:018 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in
                    that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at
                    Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

    002:001 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
                    Christ Jesus.

    002:002 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many
                    witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be
                    able to teach others also.

    002:003 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
                    Christ.

    002:004 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
                    this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a
                    soldier.

    002:005 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned,
                    except he strive lawfully.

    002:006 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the
                    fruits.

    002:007 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in
                    all things.

    002:008 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised
                    from the dead according to my gospel:

    002:009 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds;
                    but the word of God is not bound.

    002:010 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.

    002:011 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall
                    also live with him:

    002:012 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he
                    also will deny us:

    002:013 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny
                    himself.

    002:014 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before
                    the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to
                    the subverting of the hearers.

    002:015 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that
                    needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

    002:016 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase
                    unto more ungodliness.

    002:017 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus
                    and Philetus;

    002:018 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
                    resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

    002:019 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this
                    seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one
                    that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

    002:020 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 dishonour.

    002:021 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a
                    vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use,
                    and prepared unto every good work.

    002:022 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith,
                    charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure
                    heart.

    002:023 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they
                    do gender strifes.

    002:024 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle
                    unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

    002:025 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God
                    peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of
                    the truth;

    002:026 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the
                    devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

    003:001 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
                    come.

    003:002 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
                    boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
                    unthankful, unholy,

    003:003 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
                    incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

    003:004 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than
                    lovers of God;

    003:005 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
                    from such turn away.

    003:006 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead
                    captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers
                    lusts,

    003:007 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the
                    truth.

    003:008 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also
                    resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning
                    the faith.

    003:009 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be
                    manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

    003:010 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
                    purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

    003:011 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at
                    Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of
                    them all the Lord delivered me.

    003:012 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer
                    persecution.

    003:013 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
                    deceiving, and being deceived.

    003:014 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and
                    hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

    003:015 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures,
                    which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith
                    which is in Christ Jesus.

    003:016 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
                    profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
                    instruction in righteousness:

    003:017 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto
                    all good works.

    004:001 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
                    who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and
                    his kingdom;

    004:002 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove,
                    rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

    004:003 For the time will come when they will not endure sound
                    doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
                    themselves teachers, having itching ears;

    004:004 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall
                    be turned unto fables.

    004:005 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work
                    of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

    004:006 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure
                    is at hand.

    004:007 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have
                    kept the faith:

    004:008 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,
                    which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that
                    day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his
                    appearing.

    004:009 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

    004:010 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world,
                    and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus
                    unto Dalmatia.

    004:011 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for
                    he is profitable to me for the ministry.

    004:012 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

    004:013 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest,
                    bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.

    004:014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward
                    him according to his works:

    004:015 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our
                    words.

    004:016 At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook
                    me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.

    004:017 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me;
                    that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all
                    the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth
                    of the lion.

    004:018 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will
                    preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for
                    ever and ever. Amen.

    004:019 Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.

    004:020 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum
                    sick.

    004:021 Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee,
                    and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.

    004:022 The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
                    Amen.

    Book 56 Titus



    001:001 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
                    according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging
                    of the truth which is after godliness;

    001:002 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
                    before the world began;

    001:003 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching,
                    which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God
                    our Saviour;

    001:004 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy,
                    and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our
                    Saviour.

    001:005 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:

    001:006 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
                    children not accused of riot or unruly.

    001:007 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;

    001:008 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just,
                    holy, temperate;

    001:009 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.

    001:010 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
                    specially they of the circumcision:

    001:011 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
                    teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

    001:012 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The
                    Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

    001:013 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they
                    may be sound in the faith;

    001:014 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
                    that turn from the truth.

    001:015 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.

    001:016 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him,
                    being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
                    reprobate.

    002:001 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:

    002:002 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith,
                    in charity, in patience.

    002:003 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
                    holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers
                    of good things;

    002:004 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
                    husbands, to love their children,

    002:005 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to
                    their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

    002:006 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.

    002:007 In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in
                    doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

    002:008 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the
                    contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of
                    you.

    002:009 Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to
                    please them well in all things; not answering again;

    002:010 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may
                    adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

    002:011 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
                    all men,

    002:012 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
                    should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present
                    world;

    002:013 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
                    the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

    002:014 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
                    iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
                    of good works.

    002:015 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority.
                    Let no man despise thee.

    003:001 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers,
                    to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

    003:002 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle,
                    shewing all meekness unto all men.

    003:003 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
                    deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice
                    and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

    003:004 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward
                    man appeared,

    003:005 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
                    according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
                    regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

    003:006 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
                    Saviour;

    003:007 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
                    according to the hope of eternal life.

    003:008 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou
                    affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might
                    be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and
                    profitable unto men.

    003:009 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
                    and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and
                    vain.

    003:010 A man that is an heretick after the first and second
                    admonition reject;

    003:011 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
                    condemned of himself.

    003:012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent
                    to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to
                    winter.

    003:013 Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey
                    diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.

    003:014 And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary
                    uses, that they be not unfruitful.

    003:015 All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in
                    the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

    Book 57 Philemon



    001:001 Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother,
                    unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,

    001:002 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier,
                    and to the church in thy house:

    001:003 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
                    Jesus Christ.

    001:004 I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,

    001:005 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord
                    Jesus, and toward all saints;

    001:006 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by
                    the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in
                    Christ Jesus.

    001:007 For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the
                    bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.

    001:008 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin
                    thee that which is convenient,

    001:009 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one
                    as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

    001:010 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my
                    bonds:

    001:011 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now
                    profitable to thee and to me:

    001:012 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is,
                    mine own bowels:

    001:013 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might
                    have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:

    001:014 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit
                    should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.

    001:015 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou
                    shouldest receive him for ever;

    001:016 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved,
                    specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the
                    flesh, and in the Lord?

    001:017 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.

    001:018 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine
                    account;

    001:019 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it:
                    albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine
                    own self besides.

    001:020 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my
                    bowels in the Lord.

    001:021 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing
                    that thou wilt also do more than I say.

    001:022 But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through
                    your prayers I shall be given unto you.

    001:023 There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;

    001:024 Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

    001:025 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

    Book 58 Hebrews



    001:001 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
                    past unto the fathers by the prophets,

    001:002 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he
                    hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
                    worlds;

    001:003 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image
                    of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his
                    power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the
                    right hand of the Majesty on high:

    001:004 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
                    inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

    001:005 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my
                    Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to
                    him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

    001:006 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
                    world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

    001:007 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and
                    his ministers a flame of fire.

    001:008 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and
                    ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy
                    kingdom.

    001:009 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore
                    God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
                    above thy fellows.

    001:010 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of
                    the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

    001:011 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax
                    old as doth a garment;

    001:012 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.

    001:013 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my
                    right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

    001:014 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister
                    for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

    002:001 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things
                    which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

    002:002 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
                    transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of
                    reward;

    002:003 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which
                    at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed
                    unto us by them that heard him;

    002:004 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders,
                    and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
                    according to his own will?

    002:005 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to
                    come, whereof we speak.

    002:006 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man,
                    that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou
                    visitest him?

    002:007 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst
                    him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of
                    thy hands:

    002:008 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in
                    that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that
                    is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put
                    under him.

    002:009 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 man.

    002:010 For it became him, for whom 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.

    002:011 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,

    002:012 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst
                    of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

    002:013 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and
                    the children which God hath given me.

    002:014 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 power of
                    death, that is, the devil;

    002:015 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
                    lifetime subject to bondage.

    002:016 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he
                    took on him the seed of Abraham.

    002:017 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto
                    his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high
                    priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for
                    the sins of the people.

    002:018 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able
                    to succour them that are tempted.

    003:001 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
                    consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ
                    Jesus;

    003:002 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was
                    faithful in all his house.

    003:003 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
                    inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour
                    than the house.

    003:004 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all
                    things is God.

    003:005 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant,
                    for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

    003:006 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if
                    we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm
                    unto the end.

    003:007 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his
                    voice,

    003:008 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
                    temptation in the wilderness:

    003:009 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works
                    forty years.

    003:010 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They
                    do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

    003:011 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

    003:012 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart
                    of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

    003:013 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest
                    any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

    003:014 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning
                    of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

    003:015 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not
                    your hearts, as in the provocation.

    003:016 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all
                    that came out of Egypt by Moses.

    003:017 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them
                    that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

    003:018 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest,
                    but to them that believed not?

    003:019 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

    004:001 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of
                    entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short
                    of it.

    004:002 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 them that heard it.

    004:003 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As
                    I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest:
                    although the works were finished from the foundation of the
                    world.

    004:004 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this
                    wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

    004:005 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

    004:006 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
                    and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because
                    of unbelief:

    004:007 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day,
                    after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear
                    his voice, harden not your hearts.

    004:008 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward
                    have spoken of another day.

    004:009 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

    004:010 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from
                    his own works, as God did from his.

    004:011 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man
                    fall after the same example of unbelief.

    004:012 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 of the joints and marrow, and is a
                    discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    004:013 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.

    004:014 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.

    004:015 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.

    004:016 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
                    may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

    005:001 For 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:

    005:002 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are
                    out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with
                    infirmity.

    005:003 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for
                    himself, to offer for sins.

    005:004 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is
                    called of God, as was Aaron.

    005:005 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high
                    priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day
                    have I begotten thee.

    005:006 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever
                    after the order of Melchisedec.

    005:007 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers
                    and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that
                    was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he
                    feared;

    005:008 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
                    which he suffered;

    005:009 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
                    salvation unto all them that obey him;

    005:010 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

    005:011 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered,
                    seeing ye are dull of hearing.

    005:012 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.

    005:013 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
                    righteousness: for he is a babe.

    005:014 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
                    those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to
                    discern both good and evil.

    006:001 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
                    let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation
                    of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

    006:002 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
                    resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

    006:003 And this will we do, if God permit.

    006:004 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,

    006:005 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
                    world to come,

    006:006 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance;
                    seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
                    put him to an open shame.

    006:007 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:

    006:008 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is
                    nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

    006:009 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and
                    things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

    006:010 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.

    006:011 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence
                    to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

    006:012 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through
                    faith and patience inherit the promises.

    006:013 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear
                    by no greater, he sware by himself,

    006:014 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I
                    will multiply thee.

    006:015 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
                    promise.

    006:016 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
                    confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

    006:017 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of
                    promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an
                    oath:

    006:018 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for
                    God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled
                    for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

    006:019 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
                    stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

    006:020 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an
                    high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

    007:001 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high
                    God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the
                    kings, and blessed him;

    007:002 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;

    007:003 Without father, without mother, without descent, having
                    neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto
                    the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

    007:004 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the
                    patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

    007:005 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the
                    office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of
                    the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren,
                    though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

    007:006 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes
                    of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

    007:007 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the
                    better.

    007:008 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth
                    them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

    007:009 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed
                    tithes in Abraham.

    007:010 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec
                    met him.

    007:011 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?

    007:012 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a
                    change also of the law.

    007:013 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another
                    tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

    007:014 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which
                    tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

    007:015 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude
                    of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

    007:016 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but
                    after the power of an endless life.

    007:017 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
                    of Melchisedec.

    007:018 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going
                    before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

    007:019 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a
                    better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

    007:020 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

    007:021 (For those priests were made 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:)

    007:022 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

    007:023 And they truly were many priests, because they were not
                    suffered to continue by reason of death:

    007:024 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable
                    priesthood.

    007:025 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that
                    come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
                    intercession for them.

    007:026 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,
                    undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
                    heavens;

    007:027 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up
                    sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's:
                    for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

    007:028 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but
                    the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son,
                    who is consecrated for evermore.

    008:001 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We
                    have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the
                    throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

    008:002 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which
                    the Lord pitched, and not man.

    008:003 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
                    sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have
                    somewhat also to offer.

    008:004 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing
                    that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

    008:005 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.

    008:006 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how
                    much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
                    established upon better promises.

    008:007 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no
                    place have been sought for the second.

    008:008 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:

    008:009 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
                    in the day when I took them 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.

    008:010 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:

    008:011 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every
                    man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me,
                    from the least to the greatest.

    008:012 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their
                    sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

    008:013 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.
                    Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish
                    away.

    009:001 Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine
                    service, and a worldly sanctuary.

    009:002 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the
                    candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called
                    the sanctuary.

    009:003 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the
                    Holiest of all;

    009:004 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;

    009:005 And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of
                    which we cannot now speak particularly.

    009:006 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went
                    always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of
                    God.

    009:007 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:

    009:008 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:

    009:009 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were
                    offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him
                    that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

    009:010 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and
                    carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
                    reformation.

    009:011 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come,
                    by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands,
                    that is to say, not of this building;

    009:012 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.

    009:013 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:

    009:014 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
                    eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your
                    conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

    009:015 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament,
                    that by means of death, for the redemption of the
                    transgressions that were under the first testament, they which
                    are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

    009:016 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
                    death of the testator.

    009:017 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it
                    is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

    009:018 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without
                    blood.

    009:019 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people
                    according 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 all the people,

    009:020 Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath
                    enjoined unto you.

    009:021 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all
                    the vessels of the ministry.

    009:022 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and
                    without shedding of blood is no remission.

    009:023 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.

    009:024 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:

    009:025 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest
                    entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

    009:026 For then must he often have suffered 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.

    009:027 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
                    the judgment:

    009:028 So Christ 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.

    010:001 For 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 continually make the comers
                    thereunto perfect.

    010:002 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because
                    that the worshippers once purged should have had no more
                    conscience of sins.

    010:003 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
                    sins every year.

    010:004 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
                    should take away sins.

    010:005 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice
                    and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared
                    me:

    010:006 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no
                    pleasure.

    010:007 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is
                    written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

    010:008 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings
                    and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
                    therein; which are offered by the law;

    010:009 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away
                    the first, that he may establish the second.

    010:010 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of
                    the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

    010:011 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
                    oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away
                    sins:

    010:012 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for
                    ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

    010:013 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his
                    footstool.

    010:014 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are
                    sanctified.

    010:015 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that
                    he had said before,

    010:016 This is the covenant that I will 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;

    010:017 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

    010:018 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for
                    sin.

    010:019 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest
                    by the blood of Jesus,

    010:020 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
                    through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

    010:021 And having an high priest over the house of God;

    010:022 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.

    010:023 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
                    (for he is faithful that promised;)

    010:024 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to
                    good works:

    010:025 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.

    010:026 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the
                    knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for
                    sins,

    010:027 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
                    indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

    010:028 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or
                    three witnesses:

    010:029 Of how much sorer punishment, 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?

    010:030 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.

    010:031 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living
                    God.

    010:032 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye
                    were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

    010:033 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches
                    and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of
                    them that were so used.

    010:034 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the
                    spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in
                    heaven a better and an enduring substance.

    010:035 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
                    recompence of reward.

    010:036 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the
                    will of God, ye might receive the promise.

    010:037 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and
                    will not tarry.

    010:038 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my
                    soul shall have no pleasure in him.

    010:039 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of
                    them that believe to the saving of the soul.

    011:001 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
                    of things not seen.

    011:002 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

    011:003 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the
                    word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
                    things which do appear.

    011:004 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.

    011:005 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;
                    and was not found, because God had translated him: for before
                    his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

    011:006 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 diligently seek him.

    011:007 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.

    011:008 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place
                    which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and
                    he went out, not knowing whither he went.

    011:009 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange
                    country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the
                    heirs with him of the same promise:

    011:010 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder
                    and maker is God.

    011:011 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive
                    seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,
                    because she judged him faithful who had promised.

    011:012 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead,
                    so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand
                    which is by the sea shore innumerable.

    011:013 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.

    011:014 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a
                    country.

    011:015 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from
                    whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have
                    returned.

    011:016 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly:
                    wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he
                    hath prepared for them a city.

    011:017 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he
                    that had received the promises offered up his only begotten
                    son,

    011:018 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

    011:019 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the
                    dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

    011:020 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to
                    come.

    011:021 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of
                    Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

    011:022 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing
                    of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his
                    bones.

    011:023 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his
                    parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were
                    not afraid of the king's commandment.

    011:024 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be
                    called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

    011:025 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God,
                    than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

    011:026 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
                    treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of
                    the reward.

    011:027 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:
                    for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

    011:028 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of
                    blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

    011:029 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which
                    the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

    011:030 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were
                    compassed about seven days.

    011:031 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed
                    not, when she had received the spies with peace.

    011:032 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell
                    of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of
                    David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

    011:033 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
                    obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.

    011:034 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.

    011:035 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others
                    were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might
                    obtain a better resurrection:

    011:036 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea,
                    moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

    011:037 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;

    011:038 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts,
                    and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

    011:039 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith,
                    received not the promise:

    011:040 God having provided some better thing for us, that they
                    without us should not be made perfect.

    012:001 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a
                    cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin
                    which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience
                    the race that is set before us,

    012:002 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who
                    for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
                    despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the
                    throne of God.

    012:003 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
                    against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

    012:004 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

    012:005 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you
                    as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of
                    the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

    012:006 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every
                    son whom he receiveth.

    012:007 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
                    for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

    012:008 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers,
                    then are ye bastards, and not sons.

    012:009 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected
                    us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in
                    subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

    012:010 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own
                    pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of
                    his holiness.

    012:011 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
                    grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable
                    fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

    012:012 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble
                    knees;

    012:013 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame
                    be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

    012:014 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man
                    shall see the Lord:

    012:015 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest
                    any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby
                    many be defiled;

    012:016 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who
                    for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

    012:017 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited
                    the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
                    repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

    012:018 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and
                    that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
                    tempest,

    012:019 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which
                    voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be
                    spoken to them any more:

    012:020 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so
                    much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or
                    thrust through with a dart:

    012:021 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly
                    fear and quake:)

    012:022 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the
                    living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable
                    company of angels,

    012:023 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are
                    written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the
                    spirits of just men made perfect,

    012:024 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
                    blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things that that of
                    Abel.

    012:025 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped
                    not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not
                    we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

    012:026 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised,
                    saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also
                    heaven.

    012:027 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those
                    things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those
                    things which cannot be shaken may remain.

    012:028 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us
                    have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence
                    and godly fear:

    012:029 For our God is a consuming fire.

    013:001 Let brotherly love continue.

    013:002 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have
                    entertained angels unawares.

    013:003 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them
                    which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

    013:004 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
                    whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

    013:005 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content
                    with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never
                    leave thee, nor forsake thee.

    013:006 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will
                    not fear what man shall do unto me.

    013:007 Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
                    unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the
                    end of their conversation.

    013:008 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

    013:009 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it
                    is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not
                    with meats, which have not profited them that have been
                    occupied therein.

    013:010 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
                    serve the tabernacle.

    013:011 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into
                    the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without
                    the camp.

    013:012 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with
                    his own blood, suffered without the gate.

    013:013 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing
                    his reproach.

    013:014 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

    013:015 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God
                    continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to
                    his name.

    013:016 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such
                    sacrifices God is well pleased.

    013:017 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
                    for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account,
                    that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is
                    unprofitable for you.

    013:018 Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all
                    things willing to live honestly.

    013:019 But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be
                    restored to you the sooner.

    013:020 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,

    013:021 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in
                    you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus
                    Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

    013:022 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation:
                    for I have written a letter unto you in few words.

    013:023 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom,
                    if he come shortly, I will see you.

    013:024 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
                    saints. They of Italy salute you.

    013:025 Grace be with you all. Amen.

    Book 59 James



    001:001 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
                    twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

    001:002 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
                    temptations;

    001:003 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

    001:004 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
                    and entire, wanting nothing.

    001:005 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
                    all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given
                    him.

    001:006 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
                    wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and
                    tossed.

    001:007 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of
                    the Lord.

    001:008 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

    001:009 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

    001:010 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of
                    the grass he shall pass away.

    001:011 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it
                    withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the
                    grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich
                    man fade away in his ways.

    001:012 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is
                    tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath
                    promised to them that love him.

    001:013 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for
                    God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

    001:014 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
                    lust, and enticed.

    001:015 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin,
                    when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

    001:016 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

    001:017 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
                    cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
                    variableness, neither shadow of turning.

    001:018 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
                    should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

    001:019 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
                    hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

    001:020 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

    001:021 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
                    naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
                    which is able to save your souls.

    001:022 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
                    your own selves.

    001:023 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:

    001:024 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
                    forgetteth what manner of man he was.

    001:025 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
                    continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a
                    doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

    001:026 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.

    001:027 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
                    To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to
                    keep himself unspotted from the world.

    002:001 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
                    Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

    002:002 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring,
                    in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile
                    raiment;

    002:003 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:

    002:004 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges
                    of evil thoughts?

    002:005 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of
                    this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he
                    hath promised to them that love him?

    002:006 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you,
                    and draw you before the judgment seats?

    002:007 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are
                    called?

    002:008 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou
                    shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

    002:009 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are
                    convinced of the law as transgressors.

    002:010 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
                    point, he is guilty of all.

    002:011 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not
                    kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou
                    art become a transgressor of the law.

    002:012 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the
                    law of liberty.

    002:013 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no
                    mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

    002:014 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath
                    faith, and have not works? can faith save him?

    002:015 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

    002:016 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?

    002:017 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

    002:018 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me
                    thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by
                    my works.

    002:019 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
                    devils also believe, and tremble.

    002:020 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
                    dead?

    002:021 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had
                    offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

    002:022 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was
                    faith made perfect?

    002:023 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed
                    God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was
                    called the Friend of God.

    002:024 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by
                    faith only.

    002:025 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
                    when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out
                    another way?

    002:026 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
                    works is dead also.

    003:001 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
                    receive the greater condemnation.

    003:002 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.

    003:003 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey
                    us; and we turn about their whole body.

    003:004 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are
                    driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very
                    small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

    003:005 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
                    things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

    003:006 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 of
                    hell.

    003:007 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:

    003:008 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of
                    deadly poison.

    003:009 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse
                    we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

    003:010 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My
                    brethren, these things ought not so to be.

    003:011 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and
                    bitter?

    003:012 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
                    vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and
                    fresh.

    003:013 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him
                    shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of
                    wisdom.

    003:014 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory
                    not, and lie not against the truth.

    003:015 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly,
                    sensual, devilish.

    003:016 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every
                    evil work.

    003:017 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
                    peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and
                    good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

    003:018 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that
                    make peace.

    004:001 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not
                    hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

    004:002 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
                    obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

    004:003 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may
                    consume it upon your lusts.

    004:004 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
                    friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever
                    therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

    004:005 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
                    dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

    004:006 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
                    the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

    004:007 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
                    will flee from you.

    004:008 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your
                    hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

    004:009 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned
                    to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

    004:010 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
                    you up.

    004:011 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil
                    of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the
                    law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art
                    not a doer of the law, but a judge.

    004:012 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who
                    art thou that judgest another?

    004:013 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:

    004:014 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
                    your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little
                    time, and then vanisheth away.

    004:015 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and
                    do this, or that.

    004:016 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is
                    evil.

    004:017 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to
                    him it is sin.

    005:001 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that
                    shall come upon you.

    005:002 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

    005:003 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall
                    be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were
                    fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

    005:004 Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your
                    fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the
                    cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of
                    the Lord of sabaoth.

    005:005 Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye
                    have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

    005:006 Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist
                    you.

    005:007 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.
                    Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the
                    earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the
                    early and latter rain.

    005:008 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of
                    the Lord draweth nigh.

    005:009 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
                    condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

    005:010 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name
                    of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of
                    patience.

    005:011 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the
                    patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the
                    Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

    005:012 But above all things, my brethren, 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.

    005:013 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let
                    him sing psalms.

    005:014 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
                    church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in
                    the name of the Lord:

    005:015 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.

    005:016 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.

    005:017 Elias 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.

    005:018 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
                    brought forth her fruit.

    005:019 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert
                    him;

    005:020 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 multitude of sins.

    Book 60 1 Peter



    001:001 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered
                    throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

    001:002 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
                    through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and
                    sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and
                    peace, be multiplied.

    001:003 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
                    according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a
                    lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

    001:004 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
                    fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

    001:005 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation
                    ready to be revealed in the last time.

    001:006 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
                    be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

    001:007 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of
                    gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be
                    found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of
                    Jesus Christ:

    001:008 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him
                    not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full
                    of glory:

    001:009 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your
                    souls.

    001:010 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched
                    diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto
                    you:

    001:011 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ
                    which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand
                    the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

    001:012 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto
                    us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto
                    you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the
                    Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels
                    desire to look into.

    001:013 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope
                    to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
                    revelation of Jesus Christ;

    001:014 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to
                    the former lusts in your ignorance:

    001:015 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all
                    manner of conversation;

    001:016 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

    001:017 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons
                    judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your
                    sojourning here in fear:

    001:018 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
                    corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
                    conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

    001:019 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
                    blemish and without spot:

    001:020 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
                    world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

    001:021 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the
                    dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in
                    God.

    001:022 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
                    through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see
                    that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

    001:023 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
                    incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth
                    for ever.

    001:024 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the
                    flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
                    falleth away:

    001:025 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the
                    word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    002:001 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
                    hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings,

    002:002 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye
                    may grow thereby:

    002:003 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

    002:004 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of
                    men, but chosen of God, and precious,

    002:005 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an
                    holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable
                    to God by Jesus Christ.

    002:006 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay
                    in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that
                    believeth on him shall not be confounded.

    002:007 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them
                    which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed,
                    the same is made the head of the corner,

    002:008 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them
                    which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also
                    they were appointed.

    002:009 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
                    nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
                    praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
                    marvellous light;

    002:010 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people
                    of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained
                    mercy.

    002:011 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
                    abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

    002:012 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that,
                    whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your
                    good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of
                    visitation.

    002:013 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
                    sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

    002:014 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the
                    punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do
                    well.

    002:015 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to
                    silence the ignorance of foolish men:

    002:016 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of
                    maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

    002:017 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the
                    king.

    002:018 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only
                    to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

    002:019 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God
                    endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

    002:020 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults,
                    ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and
                    suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with
                    God.

    002:021 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered
                    for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his
                    steps:

    002:022 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

    002:023 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
                    he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth
                    righteously:

    002:024 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 whose stripes ye were healed.

    002:025 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto
                    the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

    003:001 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection 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;

    003:002 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

    003:003 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting
                    the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

    003:004 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is
                    not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
                    which is in the sight of God of great price.

    003:005 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who
                    trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
                    their own husbands:

    003:006 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters
                    ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any
                    amazement.

    003:007 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them 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.

    003:008 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of
                    another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

    003:009 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
                    contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called,
                    that ye should inherit a blessing.

    003:010 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
                    his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

    003:011 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and
                    ensue it.

    003:012 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.

    003:013 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that
                    which is good?

    003:014 But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye:
                    and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

    003:015 But sanctify the Lord God 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 meekness and fear:

    003:016 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of
                    you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse
                    your good conversation in Christ.

    003:017 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for
                    well doing, than for evil doing.

    003:018 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, but quickened by the Spirit:

    003:019 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

    003:020 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering
                    of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
                    preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by
                    water.

    003:021 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
                    (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the
                    answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection
                    of Jesus Christ:

    003:022 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
                    angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

    004:001 Forasmuch 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;

    004:002 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.

    004:003 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 abominable
                    idolatries:

    004:004 Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the
                    same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:

    004:005 Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick
                    and the dead.

    004:006 For for this cause was the gospel 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.

    004:007 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,
                    and watch unto prayer.

    004:008 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
                    for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

    004:009 Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

    004:010 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same
                    one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

    004:011 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any
                    man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God
                    giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus
                    Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever.
                    Amen.

    004:012 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which
                    is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

    004:013 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.

    004:014 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.

    004:015 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as
                    an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

    004:016 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed;
                    but let him glorify God on this behalf.

    004:017 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of
                    God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of
                    them that obey not the gospel of God?

    004:018 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
                    ungodly and the sinner appear?

    004:019 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God
                    commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as
                    unto a faithful Creator.

    005:001 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:

    005:002 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight
                    thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy
                    lucre, but of a ready mind;

    005:003 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being
                    ensamples to the flock.

    005:004 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a
                    crown of glory that fadeth not away.

    005:005 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,
                    all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with
                    humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the
                    humble.

    005:006 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that
                    he may exalt you in due time:

    005:007 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

    005:008 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
                    roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

    005:009 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same
                    afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the
                    world.

    005:010 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal
                    glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while,
                    make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

    005:011 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    005:012 By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have
                    written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the
                    true grace of God wherein ye stand.

    005:013 The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you,
                    saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.

    005:014 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you
                    all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

    Book 61 2 Peter



    001:001 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
                    that have obtained like precious faith with us through the
                    righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

    001:002 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge
                    of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

    001:003 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
                    that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of
                    him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

    001:004 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
                    promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine
                    nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world
                    through lust.

    001:005 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
                    virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

    001:006 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and
                    to patience godliness;

    001:007 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
                    charity.

    001:008 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that
                    ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of
                    our Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:009 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar
                    off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

    001:010 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your
                    calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall
                    never fall:

    001:011 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
                    into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
                    Christ.

    001:012 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
                    remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be
                    established in the present truth.

    001:013 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to
                    stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

    001:014 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even
                    as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

    001:015 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease
                    to have these things always in remembrance.

    001:016 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we
                    made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
                    Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

    001:017 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.

    001:018 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were
                    with him in the holy mount.

    001:019 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, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your
                    hearts:

    001:020 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of
                    any private interpretation.

    001:021 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but
                    holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

    002:001 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
                    there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall
                    bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
                    them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

    002:002 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom
                    the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

    002:003 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
                    merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
                    lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

    002:004 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them
                    down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to
                    be reserved unto judgment;

    002:005 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
                    person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood
                    upon the world of the ungodly;

    002:006 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
                    condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto
                    those that after should live ungodly;

    002:007 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of
                    the wicked:

    002:008 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
                    hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their
                    unlawful deeds;)

    002:009 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations,
                    and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
                    punished:

    002:010 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
                    uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they,
                    selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

    002:011 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring
                    not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

    002:012 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
                    destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not;
                    and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

    002:013 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 deceivings while
                    they feast with you;

    002:014 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
                    beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with
                    covetous practices; cursed children:

    002:015 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
                    following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the
                    wages of unrighteousness;

    002:016 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
                    man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

    002:017 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
                    tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

    002:018 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they
                    allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much
                    wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live
                    in error.

    002:019 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the
                    servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the
                    same is he brought in bondage.

    002:020 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world
                    through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
                    they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end
                    is worse with them than the beginning.

    002:021 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
                    righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from
                    the holy commandment delivered unto them.

    002:022 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,
                    The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was
                    washed to her wallowing in the mire.

    003:001 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both
                    which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

    003:002 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before
                    by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the
                    apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

    003:003 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
                    scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

    003:004 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the
                    fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the
                    beginning of the creation.

    003:005 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:

    003:006 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
                    perished:

    003:007 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word
                    are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of
                    judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

    003:008 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day
                    is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as
                    one day.

    003:009 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
                    count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing
                    that any should perish, but that all should come to
                    repentance.

    003:010 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in
                    the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and
                    the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and
                    the works that are therein shall be burned up.

    003:011 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what
                    manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
                    godliness,

    003:012 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
                    wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
                    elements shall melt with fervent heat?

    003:013 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
                    heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

    003:014 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
                    diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot,
                    and blameless.

    003:015 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;
                    even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom
                    given unto him hath written unto you;

    003:016 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things;
                    in which are some things hard to be understood, which they
                    that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the
                    other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

    003:017 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
                    beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the
                    wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

    003:018 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
                    Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.
                    Amen.

    Book 62 1 John



    001:001 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which
                    we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our
                    hands have handled, of the Word of life;

    001:002 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear
                    witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with
                    the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

    001:003 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye
                    also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is
                    with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

    001:004 And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

    001:005 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
                    declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness
                    at all.

    001:006 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
                    darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

    001:007 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
                    fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his
                    Son cleanseth us from all sin.

    001:008 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
                    truth is not in us.

    001:009 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
                    our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    001:010 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his
                    word is not in us.

    002:001 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin
                    not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
                    Jesus Christ the righteous:

    002:002 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's
                    only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

    002:003 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
                    commandments.

    002:004 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
                    is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

    002:005 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
                    perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

    002:006 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
                    even as he walked.

    002:007 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old
                    commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old
                    commandment is the word which ye have heard from the
                    beginning.

    002:008 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true
                    in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true
                    light now shineth.

    002:009 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is
                    in darkness even until now.

    002:010 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is
                    none occasion of stumbling in him.

    002:011 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in
                    darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
                    darkness hath blinded his eyes.

    002:012 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
                    forgiven you for his name's sake.

    002:013 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is
                    from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye
                    have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little
                    children, because ye have known the Father.

    002:014 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
                    that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young
                    men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in
                    you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

    002:015 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
                    If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
                    him.

    002:016 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the
                    lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father,
                    but is of the world.

    002:017 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
                    doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

    002:018 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard
                    that antichrist shall come, even now are there many
                    antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

    002:019 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they
                    had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us:
                    but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they
                    were not all of us.

    002:020 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
                    things.

    002:021 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but
                    because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

    002:022 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He
                    is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

    002:023 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he
                    that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

    002:024 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the
                    beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning
                    shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in
                    the Father.

    002:025 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal
                    life.

    002:026 These things have I written unto you concerning them that
                    seduce you.

    002:027 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
                    you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same
                    anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
                    lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

    002:028 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall
                    appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him
                    at his coming.

    002:029 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that
                    doeth righteousness is born of him.

    003:001 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
                    that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
                    knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

    003:002 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
                    appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall
                    appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

    003:003 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
                    even as he is pure.

    003:004 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin
                    is the transgression of the law.

    003:005 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and
                    in him is no sin.

    003:006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
                    not seen him, neither known him.

    003:007 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
                    righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

    003:008 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.

    003:009 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
                    remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of
                    God.

    003:010 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of
                    the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God,
                    neither he that loveth not his brother.

    003:011 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that
                    we should love one another.

    003:012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
                    And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil,
                    and his brother's righteous.

    003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

    003:014 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we
                    love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in
                    death.

    003:015 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that
                    no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

    003:016 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his
                    life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the
                    brethren.

    003:017 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?

    003:018 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
                    tongue; but in deed and in truth.

    003:019 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure
                    our hearts before him.

    003:020 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
                    and knoweth all things.

    003:021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence
                    toward God.

    003:022 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his
                    commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his
                    sight.

    003:023 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the
                    name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave
                    us commandment.

    003:024 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he
                    in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the
                    Spirit which he hath given us.

    004:001 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
                    they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into
                    the world.

    004:002 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth
                    that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

    004:003 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come
                    in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of
                    antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and
                    even now already is it in the world.

    004:004 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
                    because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
                    world.

    004:005 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and
                    the world heareth them.

    004:006 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not
                    of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and
                    the spirit of error.

    004:007 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and
                    every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

    004:008 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

    004:009 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 him.

    004:010 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
                    and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

    004:011 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
                    another.

    004:012 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God
                    dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

    004:013 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he
                    hath given us of his Spirit.

    004:014 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son
                    to be the Saviour of the world.

    004:015 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God
                    dwelleth in him, and he in God.

    004:016 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
                    God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and
                    God in him.

    004:017 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in
                    the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this
                    world.

    004:018 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
                    because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect
                    in love.

    004:019 We love him, because he first loved us.

    004:020 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?

    004:021 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God
                    love his brother also.

    005:001 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
                    and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that
                    is begotten of him.

    005:002 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love
                    God, and keep his commandments.

    005:003 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
                    and his commandments are not grievous.

    005:004 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this
                    is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

    005:005 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
                    that Jesus is the Son of God?

    005:006 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.

    005:007 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
                    the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

    005:008 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
                    and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

    005:009 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
                    greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath
                    testified of his Son.

    005:010 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
                    himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
                    because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

    005:011 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
                    life, and this life is in his Son.

    005:012 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son
                    of God hath not life.

    005:013 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name
                    of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life,
                    and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

    005:014 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
                    ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

    005:015 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
                    that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

    005:016 If any man see his brother sin 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.

    005:017 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

    005:018 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that
                    is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
                    toucheth him not.

    005:019 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in
                    wickedness.

    005:020 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
                    understanding, that we may know him 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.

    005:021 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

    Book 63 2 John



    001:001 The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in
                    the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known
                    the truth;

    001:002 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with
                    us for ever.

    001:003 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and
                    from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth
                    and love.

    001:004 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in
                    truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

    001:005 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new
                    commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the
                    beginning, that we love one another.

    001:006 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is
                    the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye
                    should walk in it.

    001:007 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not
                    that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and
                    an antichrist.

    001:008 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
                    have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.

    001:009 Whosoever transgresseth, 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.

    001:010 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
                    receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

    001:011 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
                    deeds.

    001:012 Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with
                    paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to
                    face, that our joy may be full.

    001:013 The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

    Book 64 3 John



    001:001 The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
                    truth.

    001:002 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
                    be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

    001:003 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified
                    of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the
                    truth.

    001:004 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in
                    truth.

    001:005 Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
                    brethren, and to strangers;

    001:006 Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church:
                    whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly
                    sort, thou shalt do well:

    001:007 Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking
                    nothing of the Gentiles.

    001:008 We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
                    fellowhelpers to the truth.

    001:009 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have
                    the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

    001:010 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he
                    doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not
                    content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the
                    brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out
                    of the church.

    001:011 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.

    001:012 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth
                    itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our
                    record is true.

    001:013 I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen
                    write unto thee:

    001:014 But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face
                    to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the
                    friends by name.

    Book 65 Jude



    001:001 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to
                    them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in
                    Jesus Christ, and called:

    001:002 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

    001:003 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
                    common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and
                    exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith
                    which was once delivered unto the saints.

    001:004 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before
                    of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the
                    grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only
                    Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

    001:005 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew
                    this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the
                    land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

    001:006 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left
                    their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
                    under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

    001:007 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
                    manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after
                    strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the
                    vengeance of eternal fire.

    001:008 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise
                    dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

    001:009 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
                    disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him
                    a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

    001:010 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.

    001:011 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 gainsaying of Core.

    001:012 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
                    with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are
                    without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit
                    withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

    001:013 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
                    wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness
                    for ever.

    001:014 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
                    saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his
                    saints,

    001:015 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
                    ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have
                    ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which
                    ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

    001:016 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own
                    lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having
                    men's persons in admiration because of advantage.

    001:017 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
                    of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

    001:018 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last
                    time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

    001:019 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the
                    Spirit.

    001:020 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
                    faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

    001:021 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of
                    our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

    001:022 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

    001:023 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire;
                    hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.

    001:024 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
                    present you faultless before the presence of his glory with
                    exceeding joy,

    001:025 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty,
                    dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

    Book 66 Revelation



    001:001 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to
                    shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;
                    and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant
                    John:

    001:002 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of
                    Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

    001:003 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of
                    this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
                    therein: for the time is at hand.

    001:004 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto
                    you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is
                    to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his
                    throne;

    001:005 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the
                    first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
                    earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in
                    his own blood,

    001:006 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to
                    him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    001:007 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,
                    and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth
                    shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

    001:008 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the
                    Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
                    Almighty.

    001:009 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
                    tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
                    was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God,
                    and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

    001:010 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a
                    great voice, as of a trumpet,

    001:011 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,
                    What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven
                    churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and
                    unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto
                    Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

    001:012 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being
                    turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

    001:013 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the
                    Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
                    about the paps with a golden girdle.

    001:014 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;
                    and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

    001:015 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
                    furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

    001:016 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth
                    went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the
                    sun shineth in his strength.

    001:017 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid
                    his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the
                    first and the last:

    001:018 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
                    evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

    001:019 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which
                    are, and the things which shall be hereafter;

    001:020 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right
                    hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are
                    the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks
                    which thou sawest are the seven churches.

    002:001 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things
                    saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who
                    walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

    002:002 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how
                    thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried
                    them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found
                    them liars:

    002:003 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast
                    laboured, and hast not fainted.

    002:004 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast
                    left thy first love.

    002:005 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent,
                    and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly,
                    and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou
                    repent.

    002:006 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
                    Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

    002:007 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
                    tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

    002:008 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things
                    saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

    002:009 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art
                    rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are
                    Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

    002:010 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the
                    devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be
                    tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou
                    faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

    002:011 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the
                    second death.

    002:012 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things
                    saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

    002:013 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's
                    seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my
                    faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful
                    martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

    002:014 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 stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat
                    things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

    002:015 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
                    Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

    002:016 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
                    against them with the sword of my mouth.

    002:017 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
                    hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the
                    stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that
                    receiveth it.

    002:018 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These
                    things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a
                    flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

    002:019 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy
                    patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the
                    first.

    002:020 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou
                    sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
                    prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit
                    fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

    002:021 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she
                    repented not.

    002:022 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit
                    adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent
                    of their deeds.

    002:023 And I will 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.

    002:024 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as
                    have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of
                    Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

    002:025 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

    002:026 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to
                    him will I give power over the nations:

    002:027 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.

    002:028 And I will give him the morning star.

    002:029 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches.

    003:001 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things
                    saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven
                    stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou
                    livest, and art dead.

    003:002 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are
                    ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before
                    God.

    003:003 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold
                    fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
                    come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I
                    will come upon thee.

    003:004 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled
                    their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they
                    are worthy.

    003:005 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
                    raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
                    life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before
                    his angels.

    003:006 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches.

    003:007 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; and
                    shutteth, and no man openeth;

    003:008 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.

    003:009 Behold, I will make them of the 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 I
                    have loved thee.

    003:010 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.

    003:011 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that
                    no man take thy crown.

    003:012 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my
                    God, and he shall go no more out: 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.

    003:013 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches.

    003:014 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
                    These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,
                    the beginning of the creation of God;

    003:015 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would
                    thou wert cold or hot.

    003:016 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
                    will spue thee out of my mouth.

    003:017 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:

    003:018 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.

    003:019 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore,
                    and repent.

    003:020 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.

    003:021 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my
                    throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my
                    Father in his throne.

    003:022 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto
                    the churches.

    004:001 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven:
                    and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet
                    talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew
                    thee things which must be hereafter.

    004:002 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was
                    set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

    004:003 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine
                    stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in
                    sight like unto an emerald.

    004:004 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.

    004:005 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.

    004:006 And before the throne there was 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.

    004:007 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like
                    a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
                    fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

    004:008 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and
                    they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
                    night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was,
                    and is, and is to come.

    004:009 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him
                    that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

    004:010 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on
                    the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and
                    cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

    004:011 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and
                    power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure
                    they are and were created.

    005:001 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a
                    book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
                    seals.

    005:002 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
                    worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

    005:003 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
                    was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

    005:004 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and
                    to read the book, neither to look thereon.

    005:005 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the
                    Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed
                    to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

    005:006 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 Lamb as
                    it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which
                    are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

    005:007 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him
                    that sat upon the throne.

    005:008 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.

    005:009 And they sung a new song, saying, 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;

    005:010 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall
                    reign on the earth.

    005:011 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many 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;

    005:012 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.

    005:013 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and
                    under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are
                    in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and
                    power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the
                    Lamb for ever and ever.

    005:014 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders
                    fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

    006:001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard,
                    as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
                    saying, Come and see.

    006:002 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him
                    had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
                    conquering, and to conquer.

    006:003 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second
                    beast say, Come and see.

    006:004 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.

    006:005 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.

    006:006 And I heard 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.

    006:007 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
                    the fourth beast say, Come and see.

    006:008 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat
                    on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was
                    given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill
                    with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the
                    beasts of the earth.

    006:009 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:

    006:010 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
                    holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on
                    them that dwell on the earth?

    006:011 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
                    said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
                    until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that
                    should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

    006:012 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 as blood;

    006:013 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
                    tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
                    wind.

    006:014 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
                    together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
                    their places.

    006:015 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;

    006:016 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 Lamb:

    006:017 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able
                    to stand?

    007:001 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four
                    corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,
                    that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea,
                    nor on any tree.

    007:002 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the
                    seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the
                    four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
                    sea,

    007:003 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees,
                    till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
                    foreheads.

    007:004 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there
                    were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the
                    tribes of the children of Israel.

    007:005 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
                    of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad
                    were sealed twelve thousand.

    007:006 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe
                    of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
                    Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.

    007:007 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
                    tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
                    Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.

    007:008 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the
                    tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
                    Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

    007:009 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man
                    could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and
                    tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed
                    with white robes, and palms in their hands;

    007:010 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God
                    which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

    007:011 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the
                    elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on
                    their faces, and worshipped God,

    007:012 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
                    thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our
                    God for ever and ever. Amen.

    007:013 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these
                    which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

    007:014 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me,
                    These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have
                    washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the
                    Lamb.

    007:015 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day
                    and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne
                    shall dwell among them.

    007:016 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither
                    shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

    007:017 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed
                    them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and
                    God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

    008:001 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in
                    heaven about the space of half an hour.

    008:002 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them
                    were given seven trumpets.

    008:003 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 upon the golden
                    altar which was before the throne.

    008:004 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of
                    the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

    008:005 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 lightnings, and an earthquake.

    008:006 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared
                    themselves to sound.

    008:007 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire
                    mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the
                    third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was
                    burnt up.

    008:008 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain
                    burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of
                    the sea became blood;

    008:009 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and
                    had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
                    destroyed.

    008:010 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from
                    heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third
                    part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;

    008:011 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third
                    part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the
                    waters, because they were made bitter.

    008:012 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 them was darkened,
                    and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night
                    likewise.

    008:013 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of
                    heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the
                    inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the
                    trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

    009:001 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.

    009:002 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out
                    of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and
                    the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

    009:003 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and
                    unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have
                    power.

    009:004 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.

    009:005 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but
                    that they should be tormented five months: and their torment
                    was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

    009:006 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it;
                    and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

    009:007 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared
                    unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like
                    gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

    009:008 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were
                    as the teeth of lions.

    009:009 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron;
                    and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of
                    many horses running to battle.

    009:010 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings
                    in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

    009:011 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the
                    bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon,
                    but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

    009:012 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more
                    hereafter.

    009:013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four
                    horns of the golden altar which is before God,

    009:014 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the
                    four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

    009:015 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an
                    hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the
                    third part of men.

    009:016 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred
                    thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

    009:017 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on
                    them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and
                    brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of
                    lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and
                    brimstone.

    009:018 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire,
                    and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of
                    their mouths.

    009:019 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for
                    their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with
                    them they do hurt.

    009:020 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues
                    yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should
                    not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass,
                    and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor
                    walk:

    009:021 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
                    sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

    010:001 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed
                    with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face
                    was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

    010:002 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
                    right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

    010:003 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when
                    he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

    010:004 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was
                    about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto
                    me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and
                    write them not.

    010:005 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the
                    earth lifted up his hand to heaven,

    010:006 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
                    heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and
                    the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which
                    are therein, that there should be time no longer:

    010:007 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
                    shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished,
                    as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

    010:008 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again,
                    and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the
                    hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
                    earth.

    010:009 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the
                    little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and
                    it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth
                    sweet as honey.

    010:010 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it
                    up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I
                    had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

    010:011 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many
                    peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

    011:001 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel
                    stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the
                    altar, and them that worship therein.

    011:002 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
                    measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the
                    holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

    011:003 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall
                    prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed
                    in sackcloth.

    011:004 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks
                    standing before the God of the earth.

    011:005 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their
                    mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt
                    them, he must in this manner be killed.

    011:006 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days
                    of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to
                    blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as
                    they will.

    011:007 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast
                    that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
                    against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

    011:008 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great
                    city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also
                    our Lord was crucified.

    011:009 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations
                    shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall
                    not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

    011:010 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them,
                    and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
                    these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

    011:011 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God
                    entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great
                    fear fell upon them which saw them.

    011:012 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,
                    Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and
                    their enemies beheld them.

    011:013 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth
                    part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men
                    seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave
                    glory to the God of heaven.

    011:014 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh
                    quickly.

    011:015 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in
                    heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the
                    kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign
                    for ever and ever.

    011:016 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their
                    seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

    011:017 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art,
                    and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
                    great power, and hast reigned.

    011:018 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the
                    time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou
                    shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to
                    the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and
                    shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

    011:019 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen
                    in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were
                    lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake,
                    and great hail.

    012:001 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
                    with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a
                    crown of twelve stars:

    012:002 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and
                    pained to be delivered.

    012:003 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a
                    great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven
                    crowns upon his heads.

    012:004 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and
                    did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
                    woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child
                    as soon as it was born.

    012:005 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
                    with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and
                    to his throne.

    012:006 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place
                    prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand
                    two hundred and threescore days.

    012:007 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought
                    against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

    012:008 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
                    heaven.

    012:009 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called
                    the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was
                    cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with
                    him.

    012:010 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
                    salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the
                    power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast
                    down, which accused them before our God day and night.

    012:011 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the
                    word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto
                    the death.

    012:012 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe
                    to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil
                    is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth
                    that he hath but a short time.

    012:013 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he
                    persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

    012:014 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that
                    she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she
                    is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the
                    face of the serpent.

    012:015 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after
                    the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the
                    flood.

    012:016 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her
                    mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of
                    his mouth.

    012:017 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
                    with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of
                    God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

    013:001 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up
                    out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
                    horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

    013:002 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his
                    feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of
                    a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and
                    great authority.

    013:003 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and
                    his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after
                    the beast.

    013:004 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the
                    beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto
                    the beast? who is able to make war with him?

    013:005 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and
                    blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
                    and two months.

    013:006 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme
                    his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

    013:007 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to
                    overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
                    tongues, and nations.

    013:008 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose
                    names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
                    from the foundation of the world.

    013:009 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

    013:010 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he
                    that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
                    Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

    013:011 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he
                    had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

    013:012 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
                    and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
                    the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

    013:013 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down
                    from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

    013:014 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
                    those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
                    beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
                    should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
                    sword, and did live.

    013:015 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
                    that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that
                    as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be
                    killed.

    013:016 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
                    and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
                    foreheads:

    013:017 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark,
                    or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

    013:018 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
                    number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his
                    number is Six hundred threescore and six.

    014:001 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and
                    with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his
                    Father's name written in their foreheads.

    014:002 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters,
                    and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of
                    harpers harping with their harps:

    014:003 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and
                    before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn
                    that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which
                    were redeemed from the earth.

    014:004 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are
                    virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he
                    goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the
                    firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

    014:005 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without
                    fault before the throne of God.

    014:006 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
                    everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the
                    earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and
                    people,

    014:007 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for
                    the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made
                    heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

    014:008 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen,
                    is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink
                    of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

    014:009 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,
                    If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his
                    mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

    014:010 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is
                    poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation;
                    and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the
                    presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

    014:011 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:
                    and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
                    his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

    014:012 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep
                    the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

    014:013 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed
                    are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith
                    the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their
                    works do follow them.

    014:014 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one
                    sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden
                    crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

    014:015 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud
                    voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and
                    reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest
                    of the earth is ripe.

    014:016 And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the
                    earth; and the earth was reaped.

    014:017 And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven,
                    he also having a sharp sickle.

    014:018 And another angel came out from the altar, which had power
                    over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp
                    sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the
                    clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully
                    ripe.

    014:019 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
                    gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great
                    winepress of the wrath of God.

    014:020 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came
                    out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the
                    space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

    015:001 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven
                    angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up
                    the wrath of God.

    015:002 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and
                    them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his
                    image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name,
                    stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

    015:003 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the
                    song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works,
                    Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of
                    saints.

    015:004 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for
                    thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship
                    before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

    015:005 And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the
                    tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

    015:006 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven
                    plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their
                    breasts girded with golden girdles.

    015:007 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven
                    golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and
                    ever.

    015:008 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God,
                    and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the
                    temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were
                    fulfilled.

    016:001 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the
                    seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the
                    wrath of God upon the earth.

    016:002 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;
                    and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which
                    had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his
                    image.

    016:003 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it
                    became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died
                    in the sea.

    016:004 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
                    fountains of waters; and they became blood.

    016:005 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O
                    Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast
                    judged thus.

    016:006 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou
                    hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

    016:007 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God
                    Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

    016:008 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
                    power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

    016:009 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name
                    of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented
                    not to give him glory.

    016:010 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,

    016:011 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and
                    their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

    016:012 And the sixth angel poured 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.

    016:013 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the
                    mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and
                    out of the mouth of the false prophet.

    016:014 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go
                    forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
                    gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

    016:015 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and
                    keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
                    shame.

    016:016 And he gathered them together into a place called in the
                    Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

    016:017 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and
                    there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
                    throne, saying, It is done.

    016:018 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there
                    was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon
                    the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

    016:019 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the
                    cities of the 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.

    016:020 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

    016:021 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every
                    stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
                    because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
                    exceeding great.

    017:001 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven
                    vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will
                    shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth
                    upon many waters:

    017:002 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 fornication.

    017:003 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I
                    saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names
                    of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

    017:004 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and
                    decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a
                    golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
                    her fornication:

    017:005 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
                    GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

    017:006 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.

    017:007 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I
                    will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
                    carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

    017:008 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend
                    out of the bottomless pit, and go 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.

    017:009 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are
                    seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

    017:010 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.

    017:011 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and
                    is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

    017:012 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
                    received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one
                    hour with the beast.

    017:013 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength
                    unto the beast.

    017:014 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
                    overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and
                    they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

    017:015 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the
                    whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and
                    tongues.

    017:016 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these
                    shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked,
                    and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

    017:017 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.

    017:018 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which
                    reigneth over the kings of the earth.

    018:001 And after these things I saw another angel come down from
                    heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with
                    his glory.

    018:002 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
                    great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of
                    devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
                    unclean and hateful bird.

    018:003 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
                    fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed
                    fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed
                    rich through the abundance of her delicacies.

    018:004 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of
                    her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that
                    ye receive not of her plagues.

    018:005 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered
                    her iniquities.

    018:006 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her
                    double according to her works: in the cup which she hath
                    filled fill to her double.

    018:007 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so
                    much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart,
                    I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

    018:008 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
                    mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with
                    fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

    018:009 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and
                    lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for
                    her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

    018:010 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas,
                    alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one
                    hour is thy judgment come.

    018:011 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;
                    for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

    018:012 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and
                    of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet,
                    and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all
                    manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron,
                    and marble,

    018:013 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and
                    wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
                    sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

    018:014 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from
                    thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed
                    from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.

    018:015 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her,
                    shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and
                    wailing,

    018:016 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in
                    fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
                    precious stones, and pearls!

    018:017 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every
                    shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as
                    many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

    018:018 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What
                    city is like unto this great city!

    018:019 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and
                    wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made
                    rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her
                    costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

    018:020 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and
                    prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

    018:021 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and
                    cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that
                    great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more
                    at all.

    018:022 And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and
                    trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
                    craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more
                    in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more
                    at all in thee;

    018:023 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;
                    and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be
                    heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great
                    men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations
                    deceived.

    018:024 And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and
                    of all that were slain upon the earth.

    019:001 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in
                    heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour,
                    and power, unto the Lord our God:

    019:002 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged
                    the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her
                    fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her
                    hand.

    019:003 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever
                    and ever.

    019:004 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down
                    and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen;
                    Alleluia.

    019:005 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God,
                    all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and
                    great.

    019:006 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as
                    the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty
                    thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent
                    reigneth.

    019:007 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the
                    marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself
                    ready.

    019:008 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine
                    linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
                    righteousness of saints.

    019:009 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called
                    unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
                    These are the true sayings of God.

    019:010 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me,
                    See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy
                    brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for
                    the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

    019:011 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that
                    sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in
                    righteousness he doth judge and make war.

    019:012 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.

    019:013 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his
                    name is called The Word of God.

    019:014 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white
                    horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

    019:015 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 treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
                    wrath of Almighty God.

    019:016 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
                    KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

    019:017 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a
                    loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of
                    heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of
                    the great God;

    019:018 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 small and great.

    019:019 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their
                    armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on
                    the horse, and against his army.

    019:020 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that
                    wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that
                    had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped
                    his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire
                    burning with brimstone.

    019:021 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon
                    the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the
                    fowls were filled with their flesh.

    020:001 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of
                    the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

    020:002 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
                    Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

    020:003 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set
                    a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more,
                    till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he
                    must be loosed a little season.

    020:004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was
                    given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
                    beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God,
                    and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image,
                    neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in
                    their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand
                    years.

    020:005 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand
                    years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

    020:006 Blessed and holy is he that hath 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 thousand years.

    020:007 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed
                    out of his prison,

    020:008 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 the sea.

    020:009 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed
                    the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire
                    came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

    020:010 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of
                    fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are,
                    and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    020:011 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from
                    whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was
                    found no place for them.

    020:012 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; 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 to their works.

    020:013 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and
                    hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
                    judged every man according to their works.

    020:014 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is
                    the second death.

    020:015 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
                    cast into the lake of fire.

    021:001 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
                    and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
                    sea.

    021:002 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
                    God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
                    husband.

    021:003 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
                    tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
                    and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
                    them, and be their God.

    021:004 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
                    shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
                    shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
                    away.

    021:005 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all
                    things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are
                    true and faithful.

    021:006 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the
                    beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of
                    the fountain of the water of life freely.

    021:007 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his
                    God, and he shall be my son.

    021:008 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
                    murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and
                    all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
                    with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

    021:009 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the
                    seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with
                    me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the
                    Lamb's wife.

    021:010 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
                    mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
                    descending out of heaven from God,

    021:011 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone
                    most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

    021:012 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at
                    the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are
                    the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

    021:013 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the
                    south three gates; and on the west three gates.

    021:014 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them
                    the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

    021:015 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
                    city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

    021:016 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as
                    the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
                    thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height
                    of it are equal.

    021:017 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and
                    four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of
                    the angel.

    021:018 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city
                    was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

    021:019 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished
                    with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was
                    jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the
                    fourth, an emerald;

    021:020 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
                    chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth,
                    a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an
                    amethyst.

    021:021 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate
                    was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as
                    it were transparent glass.

    021:022 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the
                    Lamb are the temple of it.

    021:023 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
                    shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
                    is the light thereof.

    021:024 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the
                    light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory
                    and honour into it.

    021:025 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
                    shall be no night there.

    021:026 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into
                    it.

    021:027 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that
                    defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a
                    lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    022:001 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as
                    crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

    022:002 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the
                    river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of
                    fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of
                    the tree were for the healing of the nations.

    022:003 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of
                    the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

    022:004 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
                    foreheads.

    022:005 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle,
                    neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:
                    and they shall reign for ever and ever.

    022:006 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and
                    the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto
                    his servants the things which must shortly be done.

    022:007 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
                    of the prophecy of this book.

    022:008 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had
                    heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the
                    angel which shewed me these things.

    022:009 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy
                    fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them
                    which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

    022:010 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of
                    this book: for the time is at hand.

    022:011 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is
                    filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let
                    him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
                    still.

    022:012 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give
                    every man according as his work shall be.

    022:013 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and
                    the last.

    022:014 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have
                    right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
                    into the city.

    022:015 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and
                    murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a
                    lie.

    022:016 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things
                    in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and
                    the bright and morning star.

    022:017 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that
                    heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And
                    whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

    022:018 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the
                    prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things,
                    God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this
                    book:

    022:019 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of
                    this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
                    life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are
                    written in this book.

    022:020 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.
                    Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    022:021 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
