,,this is not a work of compromises1 or 
of conjectural interpretations of the   
sacred ,scriptures1 neither is it a     
paraphrase1 but a strict literal        
rendering4 ,it neither adds nor takes   

away2 but aims to express the original  
with the utmost clearness1 and force1   
and with the utmost precision4 ,it      
adopts1 however1 except in the prayers1 
a thoroughly modern style1 and makes    
freely whatever changes are necessary   
for this purpose4  ,besides being a     
contribution to ,biblical science1 it is
 designed to be a still more important  
contribution to practical religion1 for 
which the ,bible in its original        
languages and in all its translations is
 chiefly valuable4 ,the translation     
depends mainly on its superior          
adaptation to this end1 under the       
blessing of ,god1 for its success and   
usefulness4 ,if it shall be found on    
trial to be a superior instrument of    
piety and virtue1 it will doubtless meet
 with favor and do good4 ,the ascendency
 of practical religion is not so general
 or complete1 that any additional help  
for its promotion can be deemed         
unnecessary4  ,new translations of the  
,scriptures are generally introduced    

with apologies and received with caution
 and distrust4 ,in many cases men have  
resisted them as dangerous innovations1 
and attempted to exterminate them with  
fire and sword4 ,this was the case with 
the translations of ,wickliffe and of   
,tindal4 ,but truth and the kind        
providence of ,god were too mighty for  
their enemies1 and these translations   
lived to see their persecutors in the   
dust1 and to laugh them to scorn4       
,wickliffe's translation was published  
in #achj1 in a dark age4 ,many good men 
anticipated from it the greatest        
calamities1 and resisted it with the    
most intemperate zeal1 and every species
 of denunciation was used against it4   
,it was made from the ,vulgate1 and not 
from the ,greek and ,hebrew1 and was    
imperfect2 but it was a great           
improvement on what existed before1 and 
it proved a great blessing4  ,tindal was
 contemporary with ,luther1 and         
undertook to give a new translation of  
the ,bible to ,england1 as ,luther did  

to ,germany4 ,he completed his ,new     
,testament against the greatest         
opposition1 and published it in #aebf1  
and was engaged on the ,old ,testament1 
when he was arrested1 imprisoned a year1
 and then brought to the stake and      
strangled and burnt1 at the age of      
fifty-nine1 ,a4,d4 #aecf4 ,he was the   
morning star of the ,reformation in     
,england1 and became by his translation 
of the ,new ,testament and a part of the
 ,old1 and by the interest he excited in
 the subject of improved translations in
 ,england1 one of the great benefactors 
of his race4 ,he was a man of great     
gentleness1 kindness1 simplicity of     
character1 and benevolence1 and his life
 is without a stain4  ,coverdale        
translated the whole ,bible1 and        
published it in #aece while ,tindal was 
in prison waiting for his crown of      
martyrdom4  ,several other translations 
followed1 and that of ,king ,james last 
of all1 in #afaa4  ,king ,james's       
translation was made by forty-seven     

translators1 divided into six companies1
 and laboring on their work three years4
 ,the ,douay ,bible was first translated
 and published complete in #afji1 almost
 simultaneously with the ,bible of ,king
 ,james4 ,it has the disadvantage of    
having been made from the ,latin        
,vulgate1 and not directly from the     
original ,greek and ,hebrew1 but is a   
valuable version1 and like the ,bible of
 ,king ,james1 is one of the great      
monuments of the times which produced   
it1 as well as of the church which has  
adhered to it4 ,it is good but not      
perfect2 and it is hoped that its       
friends will not be unwilling to accept 
an improvement4  ,from the publication  
of ,wickliffe's ,bible in #achj1 to that
 of ,tindal's ,new ,testament in #aebf1 
was one hundred and forty-six years4    
,from the publication of ,tindal's ,new 
,testament in #aebf1 to that of ,king   
,james's ,bible in #afaa1 was           
eighty-five years4 ,there was           
considerable progress made in knowledge1

 and the ,english language was          
considerably changed1 in the interval of
 one hundred and forty-six years between
 the publication of ,wickliffe's ,bible 
and ,tindal's ,new ,testament4 ,there   
was also considerable progress in       
knowledge1 and some changes were made in
 the ,english language1 in the interval 
of eighty-five years between the        
publication of ,tindal's ,new ,testament
 and ,king ,james's ,bible4  ,the period
 that has elapsed between the           
publication of ,king ,james's ,bible in 
#afaa and the present time 7#aheh7 is   
two hundred and forty-seven years1      
sixteen years more than the entire      
period from the publication of          
,wickliffe's ,bible in #achj to that of 
,king ,james's in #afaa4 ,besides1 this 
has been a period of unparalleled       
activity in the investigation of        
,biblical subjects1 and the prosecution 
of ,biblical studies4 ,two hundred and  
forty-seven years1 reckoning1           
thirty-three years to a generation1 are 

seven generations and a half2 and these 
seven generations and a half have been  
engaged in ,biblical studies with       
unprecedented diligence and success1    
making great improvements in the text1  
detecting numerous interpolations and   
errors1 making great improvements in the
 rendering1 and detecting numerous      
errors in it2 but the almost exclusive  
,bible of common life1 of the family1   
the school1 the church1 and of private  
and devotional reading and study1 with  
,english ,protestants1 is still the     
,bible of ,king ,james1 with its errors 
uncorrected1 its interpolations         
unremoved1 and its defects unsupplied4  
,several new translations have been made
 since ,king ,james's time1 but none of 
them have as yet been received with any 
considerable favor4 ,king ,james's      
,bible1 though extravagantly eulogized1 
was an excellent version for the times  
that produced it2 yet it made much less 
improvement on the ,bishop's ,bible1 the
 ,geneva ,bible1 and ,tindal's1         

,coverdale's1 and others which it       
superseded1 than ,tindal's and          
,coverdale's did on ,wickliffe's4       
,tindal1 in the face of constant        
persecution1 and cut off from many of   
the advantages and facilities which in  
more auspicious times he might have     
enjoyed1 did more for the ,english      
,bible than all ,king ,james's          
translators4 ,so did ,luther for the    
,bible in ,germany4  ,it is an          
unfortunate result of ,king ,james's    
translation of the ,bible by an imposing
 council of learned men1 that it has    
tended to discourage individual effort  
in respect to a labor of this kind1 and 
to create a prejudice against it as     
necessarily incompetent and             
untrustworthy4 ,societies and councils  
have their spheres in which they are    
useful2 yet they often transcend them   
and intrude on those of individuals4    
,but there are great works which        
individuals can perform better than     
multitudes or councils4  ,councils did  

not make the ,bible at first4 ,it was   
made by individuals1 each man acting for
 himself1 and giving utterance to the   
mighty thoughts that ,god had given him4
 ,a council did not make ,paradise      
,lost1 and could not2 nor has a council 
ever produced any immortal work of      
genius or learning1 unless it is the    
,english ,bible of ,king ,james4 ,with  
this exception1 these are all the works 
of individuals4 ,as individuals1        
therefore1 have generally been the      
prosecutors of literary enterprises1 in 
the department of ,bible translation no 
less than in other departments1 and as  
individuals have been eminently         
successful and useful in this department
 of labor heretofore1 both in ,england  
and other countries1 let it be hoped    
that they may be again4  ,there is a    
vast accumulation of knowledge to be    
made available by some one1 or in some  
way1 for the production of an improved  
,english ,bible1 that shall bear the    
same relation to the advanced knowledge 

of these times1 which ,tindal's1        
,coverdale's1 and that of ,king ,james  
did to theirs4 ,more study has been     
expended on the sacred text and its     
interpretation1 and more progress made  
in ,biblical knowledge in the last seven
 generations1 than in all time before4  
,this knowledge is treasured up in      
critical editions of the original       
,scriptures1 critical commentaries on   
them in ,latin and other languages1 in  
,greek and ,hebrew ,lexicons1 and in    
other works in the various departments  
of ,biblical learning1 embracing        
commentaries on the ,english            
,scriptures1 several of which are       
extensive and valuable4 ,no man can     
gainsay them1 no man can disparage them4
 ,they are monuments of the most        
precious and valuable learning of their 
times4 ,scholars with ample means and   
ample time for critical research1 and   
those whose tastes and professions and  
convictions of duty incline them in that
 direction1 may in a long series of     

years become masters of much of this    
learning1 and receive the benefit of it4
 ,a few are masters of it1 but how few6 
,but how are the people to obtain it8   
,when are they to find the time to      
obtain it8 ,where are they to find the  
means8 ,the clergy are the instructors  
of the people on sacred subjects4       
,biblical learning is a part of their   
profession4  ,they study it by day and  
by night1 from youth to old age2 but how
 are the great mass of clergymen even1  
amidst their parish cares and           
homiletical labors1 and with their      
limited means and restricted libraries1 
to obtain much of this knowledge8 ,some 
of it they may obtain1 but much of it   
they will not1 and cannot4  ,the only   
way in which the vast stores of         
,biblical learning accumulated during   
the last two hundred and forty-seven    
years1 by the labors of seven and a half
 generations toiling in succession1 each
 generation beginning where that which  
preceded it left off1 and each adding   

something to the stock which it         
received1 can become available for the  
general benefit of the people1 is by an 
improved text and translation of the    
,bible1 into which1 as far as possible1 
they shall all be brought1 and to the   
perfection of which they shall          
contribute4 ,this is the task which has 
been undertaken in the present work1 and
 with what degree of success1 the public
 will judge4 ,the text which has been   
followed in this translation1 is that of
 ,tischendorf1 published at ,leipsic in 
#ahej4 ,it is not only a great          
improvement on the received text1 but on
 the critical texts that are in general 
use in this country4 ,tischendorf       
follows ,griesbach1 ,lachman and others1
 and availing himself of their labors1  
together with his own accurate          
collations of manuscripts extending to  
nearly all the most ancient manuscripts 
in the world1 and following in the steps
 of ,lachman by editing solely from     
ancient authority1 has brought the text 

of the ,new ,testament to a degree of   
perfection not anticipated or even hoped
 for in past ages4 ,it is a high        
recommendation of this translation1 and 
will command for it an additional       
respect from all competent judges1 that 
it follows this highly improved text4   
,readers will be able by this to see    
what is the ,bible and what is not4 ,it 
is not claimed for the text of          
,tischendorf that it is perfect2 no text
 can be2 but it is claimed for it1 that 
it retains no known interpolation in the
 sacred books1 and omits nothing known  
to belong to them4 ,future laborers will
 doubtless make some improvements on the
 text of ,tischendorf1 as he has done on
 that of ,lachman2 but they cannot be   
expected to change it essentially4  ,i  
have deviated from ,tischendorf in      
omitting ,jesus as the proper name of   
,barabbas in two instances in ,matt4    
xxv4 #d1 and occasionally in            
punctuation1 and have retained two      
important interpolations in the text1   

duly noted as such1 ,mark1 xvii4 and    
,john1 x4 #h4  ,the recent work of      
,trench on the ,english ,bible came to  
hand after considerable progress had    
been made in stereotyping this volume4  
,the translator was highly gratified to 
find that nearly all the improvements   
and corrections suggested by that       
eminent scholar were already made in    
this work1 together with many others4   
,the arrangement of the books and       
divisions of the chapters and verses in 
this ,translation are believed to be    
great improvements on those in common   
use4 ,as such they are commended to the 
attention of translators and editors in 
different languages1 and it is hoped    
will be found satisfactory4  ,the       
chronology of the ,new ,testament is    
involved in great obscurity4 ,the       
,christian ,era was first proposed by   
,dionysius ,exiguus1 about ,a4,d4 #eej1 
and was gradually adopted in the seventh
 and eighth centuries4 ,by a mistake of 
,dionysius it was made to commence from 

four to six years too late4 ,the birth  
of ,christ was from #d to #f ,b4,c42 his
 baptism1 in the fifteenth year of      
,tiberius1 ,a4,d4 #bd2 his death1       
probably1 ,a4,d4 #bh2 and the events    
recorded in the first part of ,acts     
prior to the death of ,herod1 ,a4,d4    
#dd1 occurred considerably earlier than 
the dates usually assigned to them4     
,matthew and ,luke probably wrote their 
gospels ,a4,d4 #fb or #fc2 ,mark and    
,john1 theirs ,a4,d4 #fe-fh4 ,acts was  
written ,a4,d4 #fc4 ,all the books of   
the ,new ,testament were probably       
written before the destruction of       
,jerusalem1 in the interval of seventeen
 years from ,a4,d4 #ec to #gj4  ,the    
author of ,revelation bears the same    
name as one of the ,evangelists4 ,but   
this does not prove that he was the same
 person1 neither is the church tradition
 on the subject entitled to undoubted   
confidence4 ,the author of ,revelation  
does not claim to be an apostle2 and by 
not making that claim in a book so      

extraordinary1 virtually teaches that he
 is not such4 ,his style also presents  
points of diversity from that of the    
,evangelist1 that seem to be            
incompatible with the supposition that  
the same author wrote both works4  ,with
 these few explanations ,i commend this 
volume to the acceptance and blessing of
 our kind ,father in heaven1 and send it
 forth1 accompanied with many prayers1  
to call men from sin to holiness1 and   
from death and sorrow to the only true  
life and joy4  ,,boston1 ,mass41

shall call his name ,emmanuel2 which is

did as the angel of the ,lord had

born in ,bethlehem in ,judea1 in the    
days of ,herod the king1 behold ,magi   
came from the ,east to ,jerusalem1      
saying1 #b3b,where is the king of the   

,jews born8 ,for we have seen his star  
in the ,east1 and have come to worship  
him4 #b3c;,and ,herod the king hearing  
this was troubled1 and all ,jerusalem   
with him2 #b3d;and assembling all the   
chief priests and scribes of the people1
 he inquired of them where the ,christ  
is born4 #b3e;,and they said to him1 ,in

being divinely instructed in a dream not
 to return to ,herod1 they departed to  
their country another way4  #c          
#b3ac;,and when they had departed1      
behold1 an angel of the ,lord appeared  
to ,joseph in a dream1 saying1 ,arise1  
and take the young child and his mother1
 and flee into ,egypt1 and remain there 
till ,i tell you2 for ,herod will seek  
the young child to destroy it4          
#b3ad;,and he arose and took the young  
child and his mother by night1 and fled 
into ,egypt1 #b3ae;and was there till   
the death of ,herod2 that the word might
 be fulfilled1 which the ,lord spoke by 
the prophet1 saying2 ,out of ,egypt have
 ,i called my son4  #d #b3af,then ,herod

 seeing that he was despised by the     
,magi1 was exceedingly angry1 and sent  
and destroyed all the children in       
,bethlehem1 and in all its borders1 from
 two years old and under1 according to  
the precise time which he had learned of
 the ,magi4 #b3ag,thus was fulfilled the
 word spoken by ,jeremiah the prophet1  
saying2 #b3ah;,a voice was heard in     
,ramah1 lamentation and great mourning2 
,rachel weeping for her children1 and   
would not be comforted because they were
 not4  #e #b3ai;,and when ,herod had    
died1 behold1 an angel of the ,lord     
appeared to ,joseph in a dream1 in      
,egypt1 saying1 #b3bj;,arise1 and take  
the young child and his mother1 and go  
into the land of ,israel2 for they are  
dead that sought the young child's life4
  #b3ba;,and he arose and took the young
 child and his mother1 and went into the
 land of ,israel4 #b3bb;,but hearing    
that ,archelaus reigned over ,judea in  
the place of ,herod his father1 he was  
afraid to go there2 but being divinely  

instructed in a dream1 he departed into 
the parts of ,galilee1 #b3bc and went   
and lived in a city called ,nazareth1   
that the word spoken by the prophets    
might be fulfilled1 ,he shall be called 
a ,nazoraean4    ,,chapter ,,iii4       
,,christ',s ,,baptism ,,and             
,,temptation4  #a #c3a;,,and in those   
days came ,john the ,baptist preaching  
in the wilderness of ,judea1 saying1    
#c3b;,change your minds1 for the kingdom
 of ,heaven is at hand4 #c3c;,for this  
is he that was spoken of by ,isaiah the 
prophet1 saying2 ,a voice of one crying 
in the wilderness1 ,prepare the way of  
the ,lord1 make his paths straight4     
#c3d;,and this ,john had his clothes of 
camel's hair1 and a leather girdle about
 his loins1 and his food was locusts and
 wild honey4  #c3e,then went out to him 
,jerusalem1 and all ,judea1 and all the 
region about the ,jordan1 #c3f and were 
baptized by him in the river ,jordan1   
confessing their sins4  #b #c3g;,and    
seeing many of the ,pharisees and       

,sadducees come for the baptism1 he said
 to them2 ,offspring of vipers1 who has 
warned you to flee from the wrath to    
come8 #c3h;,bear fruit1 therefore1      
worthy of a change of mind2 #c3i;and    
think not to say within yourselves1 ,we 
have ,abraham for a father2 for ,i tell 
you that ,god is able of these stones to
 raise up children to ,abraham2         
#c3aj;and already the axe lies at the   
root of the trees2 every tree1          
therefore1 which bears not good fruit is
 cut down and cast into the fire4       
#c3aa;,i indeed baptize you with water  
to a change of mind2 but he that comes  
after me is mightier than ,i1 whose     
shoes ,i am not fit to bear2 he shall   
baptize you with the ,holy ,spirit1 and 
fire2 #c3abwhose winnowing shovel is in 
his hand1 and he will thoroughly clean  
his threshing floor1 and gather his     
wheat into the storehouse2 but the chaff
 he will burn with an inextinguishable  
fire4  #c #c3ac,then came ,jesus from   
,galilee to the ,jordan to ,john1 to be 

baptized by him4 #c3ad;,but1 he refused 
him1 saying1 ,i have need to be baptized
 by you1 and do you come to me8         
#c3ae;,but ,jesus answered and said to  
him1 ,suffer me now2 for thus1 it       
becomes us to complete all              
righteousness4 ,then he suffered him2   
#c3af and ,jesus being baptized went up 
immediately from the water1 and behold1 
the heavens were opened1 and he saw the 
,spirit of ,god descend like a dove and 
come upon him4 #c3ag;,and behold1 a     
voice from the heavens1 saying1 ,this is
 my beloved ,son1 with whom ,i am well  
pleased4  #d #d3a,then ,jesus was led up
 by the ,spirit into the wilderness1 to 
be tempted by the devil4 #d3b;,and      
having fasted forty days and forty      
nights1 he was afterwards hungry4       
#d3c;,and the tempter came and said to  
him1 ,if you are the ,son of ,god1      
command these stones to become bread4   
#d3d;,and he answered and said2 ,it is  
written1 man shall not live by bread    
alone1 but by every word which proceeds 

from the mouth of ,god4 #d3e,then the   
devil took him into the holy city1 and  
placed him on the pinnacle of the       
temple1 #d3f;and said to him1 ,if you   
are the ,son of ,god1 cast yourself     
down2 for it is written1 ,he shall give 
his angels charge concerning you1 and   
they shall take you up on their hands1  
lest at any time you dash your foot     
against a stone4 #d3g;,jesus said to    
him1 ,again it is written1 ,you shall   
not try the ,lord your ,god4            
#d3h;,again the devil took him away on a
 very high mountain1 and showed him all 
the kingdoms of the world1 and their    
glory1 #d3i;and said to him1 ,all these 
things will ,i give you1 if you will    
fall down and worship me4 #d3aj,then    
,jesus said to him1 ,get behind me      
,satan2 for it is written1 ,you shall   
worship the ,lord your ,god1 and him    
only shall you serve4 #d3aa,then the    
devil left him2 and behold angels came  
and waited on him4    ,,chapter ,,iv4

,,ministry4  #a #d3ab;,,and when he     
heard that ,john was delivered up1 he   
departed to ,galilee2 #d3ac;and leaving 
,nazareth he came and lived at          
,capernaum on the lake1 in the bounds of
 ,zebulon and ,naphtali1 #d3adthat the  
word might be fulfilled1 spoken by

 the lake1 beyond the ,jordan1 ,galilee 
of the nations1 #d3afthe people who sat 
in darkness have seen a great light1 and
 upon those who sat in the region and   
shade of death has light arisen4        
#d3ag;,from that time ,jesus began to   
preach1 and to say1 ,change your minds2 
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand4   
#b #d3ah;,and walking by the lake of    
,galilee he saw two brothers1 ,simon1   
called ,peter1 and ,andrew his brother1 
casting a net into the lake1 for they   
were fishermen4 #d3ai;,and he said to   
them1 ,come after me1 and ,i will make  
you fishermen of men4 #d3bj;,and they   
left their nets1 immediately1 and       

followed him4 #d3ba;,and going forward  
thence1 he saw two other brothers1      
,james the son of ,zebedee and ,john his
 brother1 in the ship with ,zebedee     
their father1 mending their nets2 and he
 called them4 #d3bb;,and they           
immediately left the ship and their     
father1 and followed him4  #c #d3bc;,and
 he went about in all ,galilee1 teaching
 in their synagogues1 preaching the good
 news of the kingdom1 and healing every 
disease and every infirmity among the   
people4 #d3bd;,and his fame went out    
into all ,syria2 and they brought him   
all that were ill1 afflicted with       
various diseases and torments1 and      
demoniacs1 and lunatics1 and paralytics1
 and he cured them2 #d3be and great     
multitudes followed him from ,galilee1

,judea1 and beyond the ,jordan4

the multitudes1 he went on the mountain

him4 #e3b;,and he opened his mouth and  
taught them1 saying2 #e3c;,blessed are

great is your reward in heaven2 for so  
persecuted they the prophets who were   
before you4  #b #e3ac,you are the salt  
of the earth2 but if the salt has lost  

its strength1 with what shall it be     
seasoned8 ,it is good for nothing more1

light a candle1 and put it under a

before men that they may see your good

#e3bf;,i tell you truly1 you shall not  
go out thence till you have paid the    
last quadrans #d mills4  #d #e3bg,you   
have heard that it was said1 ,you shall 
not commit adultery2 #e3bh but ,i tell  
you1 that every one who looks on a woman
 to desire her inordinately1 has already
 committed adultery with her in his     
heart4 #e3bi;,but if your right eye     
offends you1 pluck it out and cast it   
from you2 for it is better for you that 
one of your members should perish1 and  
not that your whole body should be cast 
into hell4 #e3cj;,and if your right hand
 offends you1 cut it off and cast it    
from you2 for it is better for you that 
one of your members should perish1 and  
not that your whole body should go into 
hell4 #e3ca;,and it was said1 ,whoever  
would put away his wife1 let him give   
her a bill of divorcement4 #e3cb ,but ,i
 tell you1 that whoever puts away his   
wife1 except for adultery1 causes her to
 commit adultery2 and whoever marries   

her that is put away1 commits adultery4 
#e3cc;,again1 you have heard that it was
 said by the ancients1 ,you shall not   
swear falsely1 but shall perform to the 
,lord your oaths4 #e3cd;,but ,i tell    
you1 ,swear not at all2 neither by      
heaven1 for it is ,god's throne2

footstool1 nor by ,jerusalem1 for it is 
the city of the great ,king2 #e3cfnor

one hair white or black4  #e3cg;,but let
 your speech be1 yes1 yes1 and no1 no2  
for any thing more than this is evil4   
#e #e3ch,you have heard that it was     
said1 ,an eye for an eye1 and a tooth   
for a tooth4 #e3ci;,but ,i tell you not 
to resist the evil man2 but whoever     
shall strike you on the right cheek1    
turn to him the other also2 #e3dj;and if
 a man wishes to have a law suit with   
you1 and take away your coat1 let him   
have your cloak also2 #e3da;and whoever 
shall compel you to go one mile1 go two

asks1 and from him that would borrow of 
you turn not away4 #e3dc,you have heard 
that it was said1 ,you shall love your  
neighbor1 and hate your enemy4

enemies1 and pray for those that        
persecute you2 #e3dethat you may be     
children of your ,father in heaven2 for 
he causes his sun to rise on the evil

unjust4 #e3df;,for if you love those    
that love you1 what reward have you8 ,do
 not the publicans the same8 #e3dg;,and 
if you salute your brothers only1 what  
do you do more than others8 ,do not the 
gentiles also do the same8  #e3dh;,be   
therefore perfect1 as your heavenly     
,father is perfect4  #f #f3a;,but take  
heed not to perform your righteousness  
before men1 to be seen by them2         
otherwise indeed1 you have no reward    
from your ,father in heaven4 #f3b ,when1
 therefore1 you give in charity1 sound  
not a trumpet before you1 as the        
hypocrites do1 in the synagogues and in 

the streets1 that they may be glorified 
by men4 ,i tell you truly1 they have    
their reward4 #f3c;,but when you give in
 charity let not your left hand know    
what your right hand does1 #f3dthat your
 charity may be in secret2 and your     
,father who sees in secret shall reward 
you4  #g #f3e;,and when you pray1 be not
 like the hypocrites2 for they love to  
pray standing in the synagogues1 and at 
the corners of the streets1 that they   
may be seen by men4 ,i tell you truly1  
they have their reward4 #f3f;,but when  
you pray enter into your private room1  
and having shut your door pray to your  
,father who is in secret2 and your      
,father who sees in secret shall reward 
you4  #f3g;,and when you pray use not   
vain repetitions1 as the gentiles do2   
for they think they shall be heard for  
their much speaking4  #f3h;,be not1     
therefore1 like them2 for your ,father  
knows what you need before you ask him4 
#f3i,pray1 therefore1 thus2 ,our ,father
 in heaven1 hallowed be thy name2       

#f3ajthy kingdom come2 thy will be done1
 as in heaven1 so on earth2 #f3aa;give  
us to-day our essential bread1 #f3ab;and
 forgive us our debts as we forgive our 
debtors2 #f3ac;and bring us not into    
trial1 but deliver us from evil4        
#f3ad;,for if you forgive men their     
offenses1 your heavenly ,father will    
forgive you2 #f3ae;but if you forgive   
not men1 neither will your ,father      
forgive your offenses4  #h #f3af;,and   
when you fast1 be not like the          
hypocrites1 of a sad countenance2 for   
they disfigure their faces that they may
 appear to men to fast4 ,i tell you     
truly1 they have their reward4          
#f3ag;,but when you fast1 anoint your   
head1 and wash your face1 #f3ahthat you 
may not appear to men to fast1 but to   
your ,father in secret2 and your ,father
 who sees in secret shall reward you4   
#i #f3ai,lay not up for yourselves      
treasures on the earth1 where a moth and

will hate the first1 and love the other1

 shall put on1 is not the soul more than
 food1 and the body more than clothing8

sow not1 neither do they reap1 nor      
gather into store-houses2 but your

not much better than they8  #f3bg,which 
of you by being anxious can add one     
cubit to his stature8 #f3bh;,and why are
 you anxious concerning clothing8       
,consider the lilies of the field1 how  
they grow2 they perform no hard labor1

shall we be clothed8 #f3cb;,for after   
all these things the gentiles seek2 and

stone8  #g3ajor if he asks a fish1 will

and offer the gift which ,moses         
commanded for a testimony to them4  #b  

#h3e;,and when he entered into          
,capernaum a centurion came to him1     
beseeching him1 #h3f;and saying2 ,lord1 
my servant lies sick in my house with   
paralysis1 exceedingly distressed4      
#h3g;,he said to him1 ,i will come and  
cure him4 #h3h ,and the centurion       
answered and said1 ,lord1 ,i am not fit 
that you should come under my roof2 but 
only say the word and my servant will be
 cured4  #h3i;,for ,i also am a man     
under authority1 having soldiers under  
me2 and ,i say to this man1 ,go1 and he 
goes2 and to another1 ,come1 and he     
comes2 and to my servant1 ,do this1 and 
he does it4  #h3aj;,jesus hearing       
wondered and said to those that followed
 him1 ,i tell you truly1 ,i have not    
found so great a faith with any one in  
,israel2 #h3aa;and ,i tell you that many
 shall come from the ,east and from the 
,west1 and shall recline with ,abraham1 
and ,isaac1 and ,jacob in the kingdom of
 heaven1 #h3ab;but the children of the  
kingdom shall be cast into the darkness 

outside2 there shall be weeping and     
gnashing of teeth4 #h3ac;,and ,jesus    
said to the centurion1 ,go2 as you have 
believed be it to you2 and the servant  
was cured at that hour4  #c #h3ad;,and  
,jesus coming into the house of ,peter1 
saw his wife's mother lying and sick    
with a fever4 #h3ae;,and he touched her 
hand1 and the fever left her2 and she   
arose and waited on them4  #h3af;,and   
when it was evening they brought him    
many demoniacs1 and he cast out the     
spirits with a word1 and cured all that 
were sick1 #h3agthat the word might be  
fulfilled spoken by ,isaiah the prophet1
 saying2 ,he took our infirmities and   
bore our diseases4  #d #h3ah;,and ,jesus
 seeing great multitudes around him     
commanded them to go away to the other  
side4 #h3ai;,and a certain scribe came  
and said to him1 ,teacher1 ,i will      
follow you wherever you go4  #h3bj;,and 
,jesus said to him1 ,the foxes have     
holes1 and the birds of heaven have     
places of shelter1 but the ,son of man  

has not where to lay his head4          
#h3ba;,another of the disciples said to 
him1 ,lord1 permit me first to go away  
and bury my father4  #h3bb;,but ,jesus  
said to him1 ,follow me1 and let the    
dead bury their dead4 #h3bc;,and he     
entered into a ship1 and his disciples  
followed him4 #h3bd;,and behold there   
was a great tempest on the lake1 so that
 the ship was covered with the waves2   
but he was asleep4 #h3be ,and they came 
and awoke him1 saying1 ,lord1 save us2  
we perish4 #h3bf;,and he said to them1  
,why are you afraid1 men of little      
faith8 ,then he arose1 and rebuked the  
winds and the lake1 and there was a     
great calm4 #h3bg;,and the men wondered1
 saying1 ,what kind of a man is this1   
that the winds and the lake obey him8   
#e #h3bh;,and when he had come to the   
other side1 into the country of the     
,gadarenes1 two demoniacs met him1      
coming out of the tombs1 exceedingly    
fierce1 so that no man could pass that  
way4 #h3bi;,and behold they cried1      

saying1 ,what have you to do with us1   
,son of ,god8 ,have you come hither     
before the time to torment us8          
#h3cj;,and there was far off from them a
 herd of many swine feeding4 #h3ca;,and1
 the demons besought him1 saying1 ,if   
you cast us out1 send us into the herd  
of swine4 #h3cb;,and he said to them1   
,go4 ,and going out1 they went away into
 the herd of swine1 and1 behold1 the    
whole herd rushed down a precipice into 
the lake1 and died in the waters2       
#h3cc;and those who fed them fled1 and  
going away into the city reported all   
things1 and the events relating to the  
demoniacs4 #h3cd;,and behold all the    
city came out to meet ,jesus2 and when  
they saw him they besought him to depart
 from their bounds4  #f #i3a;,and       
entering a ship1 he crossed over1 and   
came to his own city2 #i3b and behold   
they brought him a paralytic1 lying on a
 bed4 ,and ,jesus seeing their faith    
said to the paralytic1 ,son1 be of good 
courage2 your sins are forgiven4        

#i3c;,and behold some of the scribes    
said within themselves1 ,this man       
blasphemes4 #i3d;,and ,jesus observing  
their thoughts1 said1 ,why do you think 
evil in your hearts8 #i3e;,for in what  
respect is it easier to say1 ,your sins 
are forgiven1 than to say1 ,arise and   
walk8 #i3f;,but that you may know that  
the ,son of man has power on the earth  
to forgive sins1 then he said to the    
paralytic1 ,arise1 take up your bed1 and
 go to your house4 #i3g;,and he arose   
and departed to his house4  #i3h;,and   
when the multitudes saw it they were    
afraid1 and glorified ,god who had given
 such power to men4  #g #i3i;,and ,jesus
 departing thence saw a man sitting at  
the custom-house1 called ,matthew2 and  
he said to him1 ,follow me4 ,and he     
arose and followed him4 #i3aj ,and he   
was reclining in the house1 and behold1 
many publicans and sinners came and     
reclined with ,jesus and his disciples4 
#i3aa;,and when the ,pharisees saw them 
they said to his disciples1 ,why does   

your teacher eat with publicans and     
sinners8 #i3ab;,and hearing it he said1 
,the well need not a physician1 but the 
sick4 #i3ac;,go and learn what this     
means3 ,i wish for mercy and not a      
sacrifice2 for ,i came not to call the  
righteous1 but sinners4  #h #i3ad,then  
came to him the disciples of ,john1     
saying1 ,why do we and the ,pharisees   
fast much1 but your disciples fast not8 
#i3ae;,and ,jesus said to them1 ,can the
 children of the bridechamber mourn as  
long as the bridegroom is with them8    
,but the days will come when the        
bridegroom will be taken from them1 and 
then they shalt fast4 #i3af;,but no one 
puts a piece of unfilled cloth on an old
 garment2 for it takes away its fullness
 from the garment1 and the rent is made 
worse4 #i3ag,neither do they put new    
wine into old bottles2 otherwise the    
bottles break1 and the wine is poured   
out and the bottles destroyed2 but they 
put new wine into new bottles1 and both 
are preserved4  #i #i3ah,while he was   

saying these words to them1 behold a    
ruler came and worshipped him1 saying1  
,my daughter is now dead1 but come and  
put your hand on her and she shall live4
 #i3ai;,and ,jesus arose and followed   
him1 and his disciples4 #i3bj;,and      
behold a woman having a hemorrhage of   
twelve years approached him from behind1
 and touched the fringe of his garment2 
#i3ba;for she said within herself1 ,if  
,i can only touch his garment ,i shall  
be cured4  #i3bb;,and ,jesus turning    
around and seeing her1 said1 ,daughter1 
be of good courage1 your faith has cured
 you4 ,and the woman was cured from that
 hour4  #aj #i3bc;,and ,jesus coming    
into the house of the ruler1 and seeing 
the musicians and the multitude making a
 tumultuous noise1 #i3bdsaid1 ,go away2 
for the girl is not dead1 but asleep4   
,and they derided him4 #i3be;,but when  
the multitude were removed he went in   
and took her hand1 and the girl arose4  
#i3bf;,and the report went out into all 
that land4  #aa #i3bg;,and as ,jesus was

 departing thence two blind men followed
 him1 crying and saying1 ,have mercy on 
us1 ,son of ,david6 #i3bh;,and when he  
had gone into the house the blind men   
came to him1 and ,jesus said to them1   
,do you believe that ,i am able to do   
this8  ,they said to him1 ,yes1 ,lord4  
#i3bi,then he touched their eyes1       
saying1 ,according to your faith be it  
to you2 #i3cj;and their eyes were       
opened4 ,and ,jesus charged them        
strictly1 saying1 ,see that no one knows
 it4 #i3ca;,but they went out and made  
him known in all that land4  #ab        
#i3cb;,and when they had gone away1     
behold1 the people brought to him a man1
 a dumb demoniac4 #i3cc;,and the demon  
being cast out1 the dumb spoke2 and the 
multitudes wondered1 saying1 ,it was    
never so seen in ,israel4 #i3cd;,but the
 ,pharisees said1 ,he casts out demons  
by the ruler of the demons4  #ac        
#i3ce;,and ,jesus went about all the    
cities and villages1 teaching in their  
synagogues1 and preaching the good news 

of the kingdom1 and curing every        
disease1 and every infirmity4 #i3cf;,and
 seeing the multitudes he had compassion
 on them because they were faint and    
scattered1 like sheep without a         
shepherd4 #i3cg,then he said to his     
disciples1 ,the harvest indeed is great1
 but the laborers few4 #i3ch,pray1      
therefore1 the ,lord of the harvest to  
thrust laborers into his harvest4       
,,chapter ,,vii4  ,,the ,,appointment   
,,of ,,the ,,twelve ,,apostles4  #a     
#aj3a;,,and calling his twelve          
disciples1 he gave them power over      
impure spirits to cast them out1 and to 
cure every disease and every infirmity4 
#aj3b ,and the names of the twelve      
apostles are these2 ,first1 ,simon1 who

#aj3d,simon1 the ,zealot1 and ,judas    

,iscariot1 who also betrayed him4       
#aj3e,these twelve ,jesus sent out and  
charged them1 saying2 ,go not into a way
 of gentiles1 and enter not into a city 
of ,samaritans1 #aj3f;but go rather to  
the lost sheep of the house of ,israel2 
#aj3g;and as you go1 preach1 saying1

you forth as sheep in the midst of

 the nations4 #aj3ai;,but when they have
 delivered you up be not anxious how you

 it shall be given you in that hour what
 to say2 #aj3bj;for it is not you that

when ,jesus had finished his charge to

#aa3csaid to him1 ,are you he that was  
coming1 or look we for another8

went you out to the wilderness to see8  
,a reed shaken with the wind8 #aa3h;,but
 what went you out to see8 ,a man       
wearing fine clothes8 ,behold1 they that

is he of whom it is written2 ,behold1 ,i
 send my messenger before your face1 to

tell you truly1 there has not arisen

it1 this is ,elijah1 who was to come4

rebuke those cities in which most of his

 mighty works had been done1 because    
they changed not their minds4 #aa3ba,woe
 to you1 ,chorazin6 ,woe to you1

which have been done in you had been

it1 said to him1 ,behold1 your disciples
 do what it is not lawful to do on the

,have you not read what ,david did1 when
 he was hungry1 and those who were with 
him8 #ab3d;how he entered into the house

 of ,god and eat the show bread1 which  
it was not lawful for him to eat1 nor   
for those with him1 but only for the    
priests8 #ab3e,or have you not read in  
the law1 that the priests profane the   
sabbath in the temple1 and are          
blameless8  #ab3f;,but ,i tell you that 
here is an object greater than the      
temple4 #ab3g;,but if you had known     
what1 ,i wish for mercy and not a       
sacrifice1 means1 you would not have    
condemned the innocent2 #ab3h;for the   
,son of man is ,lord of the ,sabbath4

into their synagogue1 #ab3aj;and behold 
a man having a withered hand was there4

lawful to cure on the sabbath8 that they
 might accuse him4 #ab3aa;,and he said  
to them1 ,what man is there of you      
having one sheep1 who if this falls into
 a pit on the sabbath1 will not take    
hold of it and lift it out8 #ab3ab;,how 
much then is a man better than a sheep6 
,so that it is lawful to do good on the 

sabbath4 #ab3ac ,then he said to the    
man1 ,stretch out your hand2 and he     
stretched it out1 and it was restored as
 sound as the other2 #ab3ad;and the

was spoken by ,isaiah the prophet1

me is against me1 and he that gathers   
not with me scatters4 #ab3ca,therefore1 
,i tell you1 every sin and blasphemy    
shall be forgiven men1 but the blasphemy
 of the ,spirit shall not be forgiven   
men4 #ab3cb ,and if one speaks a word   
against the ,son of man it shall be     
forgiven him2 but if one speaks against 
the ,holy ,spirit it shall not be       
forgiven him either in this life or in  
that to come4 #ab3cc;,either make the   
tree good and its fruit good1 or make   
the tree bad1 and its fruit bad2 for a  
tree is known by its fruit4             
#ab3cd,offspring of vipers1 how can you1
 being evil1 speak good things8 ,for out
 of the abundance of the heart the mouth
 speaks4 #ab3ce,the good man1 out of his
 good treasury1 casts forth good things2
 and the evil man1 out of his evil      
treasury1 casts forth evil things4      
#ab3cf;,but ,i tell you1 that for every 
idle word which men speak they shall    

render an account in a day of judgment2 
#ab3cg for by your words you shall be   
justified1 and by your words you shall  
be condemned4  #c #ab3ch,then answered  
some of the scribes and ,pharisees1     
saying1 ,teacher1 we wish to see a sign 
from you4 #ab3ci;,but he answered and   
said to them1 ,an evil and adulterous   
generation seeks for a sign1 and no sign
 shall be given it but the sign of the  
prophet ,jonah4 #ab3dj;,for as ,jonah   
was three days and three nights in the  
belly of the fish1 so shall the ,son of 
man be three days and three nights in   
the heart of the earth4 #ab3da,the men  
of ,nineveh shall rise up in the        
judgment with this generation and       
condemn it2 for they changed their minds
 at the preaching of ,jonah2 and behold 
a greater than ,jonah is here4          
#ab3db,the queen of the south shall rise
 up in the judgment with this generation
 and condemn it2 for she came from the  
ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of 
,solomon2 and behold a greater than     

,solomon is here4 #ab3dc;,but when the  
impure spirit has gone out of a man1 it 
goes through dry places seeking a rest1 
and finds none4 #ab3dd,then it says1 ,i 
will return to my house from which ,i   
went out2 and coming1 it finds it empty1
 swept1 and adorned4 #ab3de,then it goes
 and takes with itself seven other      
spirits worse than itself1 and they     
enter in and dwell there2 and the last  
state of that man is worse than the     
first4 ,so shall it be also with this   
evil generation4  #d #ab3df;,and while  
he was speaking to the multitudes1      
behold his mother and his brothers stood
 without1 desiring to speak to him4     
#ab3dg;,and some one said to him1       
,behold your mother and your brothers   
stand without1 desiring to speak to you4
 #ab3dh;,and he answered and said to him
 that told him1 ,who is my mother8 and  
who are my brothers8 #ab3di;and         
stretching out his hand to his          
disciples1 he said1 ,behold my mother1  
and my brothers6 #ab3ej;,for whoever    

does the will of my ,father in heaven1  
he is my brother1 and sister1 and       
mother4    ,,chapter ,,xi4  ,,christ',s 
,,parables ,,on ,,the ,,lake ,,of       
,,galilee4  #a #ac3a;,,and on that day  
,jesus went out of the house and sat by 
the lake4 #ac3b ,and great multitudes   
came together to him2 and he went into  
the ship and sat down2 and all the      
multitude stood on the shore4 #ac3c;,and
 he spoke to them many things in        
parables1 saying2 ,behold1 a sower went 
out to sow2 #ac3d;and as he sowed1 some 
fell by the way1 and the birds came and 
devoured it4  #ac3e;,and some fell on   
rocky places1 where it had not much     
earth1 and it came up immediately1      
because it had no depth of earth2       
#ac3f;and when the sun arose it was     
scorched1 and because it had no root it 
was dried up4 #ac3g;,and some fell among
 thorns1 and the thorns came up and     
choked it4 #ac3h;,but some fell on good 
ground1 and bore fruit2 some a hundred1 
some sixty1 and some thirty-fold4       

#ac3i;,he that has ears let him hear4   
#b #ac3aj;,and his disciples came and   
said to him1 ,why do you speak to them  
in parables8 #ac3aa;,and he answered and
 said to them1 ,because it is given to  
you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
 of heaven1 but to them it is not given2
 #ac3ab;for whoever has1 to him shall be
 also given1 and he shall abound2 but   
whoever has not1 from him shall be taken
 away even what he has4 #ac3ac;,for this
 reason ,i speak to them in parables2   
because seeing they do not see1 and     
hearing they do not hear1 nor           
understand4 #ac3ad;,and in them is      
fulfilled the prophecy of ,isaiah1 which
 says2 ,hearing you shall hear and not  
understand1 and seeing you shall see and
 not perceive2 #ac3ae;for the hearts of 
this people have become hard1 and they  
hear imperfectly with their ears1 and   
their eyes have they closed1 lest they  
should see with their eyes1 and hear    
with their ears1 and understand with    
their hearts1 and turn1 and ,i should   

heal them4 #ac3af;,but blessed are your 
eyes1 for they see2 and your ears1 for  
they hear4 #ac3ag;,for ,i tell you      
truly1 that many prophets and righteous 
men have desired to see what you see and
 have not seen it1 and to hear what you 
hear and have not heard it4  #c         
#ac3ah;,hear1 therefore1 the parable of 
the sower4 #ac3ai,when any one hears the
 word of the kingdom and does not       
understand it1 the evil one comes and   
takes away the seed sown in his heart4  
,this is he that received seed by the   
way4 #ac3bj;,he that received seed on   
the rocky places is he that hears the   
word and immediately receives it with   
joy #ac3ba;but has no root in himself1  
but is only a temporary disciple2 and   
when affliction or persecution arises on
 account of the word1 he is immediately 
offended4 #ac3bb;,and he that received  
seed among thorns is he that hears the  
word1 and the cares of this life and the
 deceitfulness of riches choke the word1
 and it becomes unfruitful4 #ac3bc;,but 

he that received the seed in the good   
ground is he that hears the word1 and   
understands it1 who also bears fruit1   
and produces some one hundred1 and some 
sixty1 and some thirty-fold4  #d        
#ac3bd;,and he delivered them another   
parable1 saying2 ,the kingdom of heaven 
is like a man sowing good seed in his   
field2 #ac3be;and while the men slept1  
his enemy came and sowed poisonous      
darnel in the midst of the wheat1 and   
went away4  #ac3bf;,but when the stalk  
grew up and bore fruit1 then the        
poisonous darnel appeared4 #ac3bg;,and  
the servants of the householder came and
 said to him1 ,sir1 did you not sow good
 seed in your field8 ,whence then has it
 poisonous darnel8 #ac3bh;,and he said  
to them1 ,an enemy has done this4 ,and  
they said to him1 ,do you wish us to go 
and take them out8 #ac3bi;,and he said1 
,no2 lest in taking out the poisonous   
darnel1 you pull up the wheat with it2  
#ac3cjlet both grow together till the   
harvest1 and at the time of the harvest1

 ,i will say to the reapers1 ,collect   
first the poisonous darnel1 and bind it 
in bundles to be burnt2 but collect the 
wheat in my storehouse4  #e #ac3ca;,he  
delivered them another parable1 saying1 
,the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard
 seed which a man took and sowed in his 
field1 #ac3cbwhich is the least of all  
seeds1 but when it is grown is the      
greatest of plants1 and becomes a tree1 
so that the birds of heaven come and    
lodge on its branches4 #ac3cc;,he spoke 
another parable to them2 ,the kingdom of
 heaven is like leaven which a woman    
took and hid in three sata #cc quarts of
 flour1 till the whole was leavened4    
#ac3cd;,all these things spoke ,jesus to
 the multitudes in parables2 and without
 a parable spoke he not to them2        
#ac3cethat it might be fulfilled which  
was spoken by the prophet1 saying1 ,i   
will open my mouth in parables2 ,i will 
declare things which have been concealed
 from the foundation of the world4  #f  
#ac3cf,then leaving the multitudes2 he  

went into the house1 and his disciples  
came to him1 saying1 ,explain to us the 
parable of the poisonous darnel of the  
field4 #ac3cg;,and he answered and said 
to them1 ,he that sows the good seed is 
the ,son of man2 #ac3chthe field is the 
world2 the good seed are the children of
 the kingdom2 the poisonous darnel are  
the children of the wicked one2 #ac3ci  
the enemy that sowed them is the devil2 
the harvest is the consummation of the  
world2 and the reapers are angels4      
#ac3dj;,as1 therefore1 poisonous darnel 
is collected and burned with fire1 so   
shall it be at the consummation of the  
world4  #ac3da,the ,son of man will send
 his angels1 and they shall collect out 
of his kingdom all offenses1 and all    
that commit wickedness1 #ac3db;and cast 
them into a furnace of fire2 and there  
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth4 
#ac3dc ,then the righteous shall shine  
out like the sun1 in the kingdom of     
their ,father4 ,he that has ears1 let   
him hear4  #g #ac3dd,the kingdom of     

heaven is like a treasure hid in a      
field1 which a man found1 and concealed1
 and went away with joy1 and sold all   
that he had and bought that field4      
#ac3de;,again2 the kingdom of heaven is 
like a merchant seeking beautiful       
pearls1 #ac3dfwho1 finding one very     
costly1 went and sold all that he had   
and bought it4 #ac3dg;,again2 the       
kingdom of heaven is like a net cast    
into the sea1 and collecting fish of    
every kind1 #ac3dhwhich1 when it was    
full1 men drew to the shore1 and sifting
 down put up the good in vessels and    
cast the bad away4  #ac3di,so shall it  
be at the consummation of the world4    
,the angels shall come forth and        
separate the evil from the midst of the 
good1 #ac3ej;and cast them into the     
furnace of fire2 there shall be weeping 
and gnashing of teeth4 #ac3ea;,have you 
understood all these thing8 ,they said  
to him1 ,yes1 ,lord4  #ac3eb;,and he    
said to them1 ,every scribe therefore   
that is instructed in the kingdom of    

heaven1 is like a householder who casts 
out of his treasury things new and old4 
#h #ac3ec;,and when ,jesus had finished 
these parables he departed thence1      
#ac3ed and coming to his native country 
he taught them in their synagogues1 so  
that they were astonished and said1     
,whence has this man this wisdom and    
these mighty works8 #ac3ee;,is not this 
the carpenter's son8 ,is not his mother 
called ,mary8 ,and are not his brothers 
,james1 and ,joseph1 and ,simon1 and    
,judas8  #ac3ef;,and are not his sisters
 all with us8 ,whence then has this man 
all these things8 #ac3eg;,and they were 
offended with him4 ,but ,jesus said to  
them1 ,a prophet is not without honor1  
except in his native country1 and in his
 own house2 #ac3eh and he did not many  
mighty works there1 because of their    
unbelief4    ,,chapter ,,xii4  ,,the

,,lake4  #a #ad3a;,,at that time ,herod 

the ,tetrarch heard of the fame of      
,jesus1 #ad3b;and said to his servants1 
,this is ,john the ,baptist2 he is      
raised from the dead2 and on that       
account the mighty works are performed  
by him4 #ad3c;,for ,herod having seized 
,john1 had bound him1 and put him in    
prison1 on account of ,herodias1 his    
brother ,philip's wife4 #ad3d;,for ,john
 had said to him1 ,it is not lawful for 
you to have her4 #ad3e;,and he wished to
 kill him2 but feared the people1       
because they regarded him as a prophet4 
#ad3f;,and ,herod's birthday being kept1
 the daughter of ,herodias danced before
 them and pleased ,herod1 #ad3gon       
account of which he promised with an    
oath to give her whatever she should    
ask2 #ad3h;and she1 having been put     
forward by her mother1 said1 ,give me   
here on a plate the head of ,john the   
,baptist4  #b #ad3i;,and the king was   
sorry2 but on account of the oath1 and  
those reclining with him1 he commanded  
it to be given4 #ad3aj;,and he sent and 

beheaded ,john in the prison2 #ad3aa;and
 his head was brought on a plate and    
given to the girl1 and she carried it to
 her mother4 #ad3ab;,and his disciples  
went and took up the body and buried it1
 and came and told ,jesus4  #c          
#ad3ac;,and when ,jesus heard of it he  
departed thence in a ship to a solitary 
place by himself4 ,and the multitudes   
hearing of it followed him on foot from 
the cities4  #d #ad3ad;,and going out he
 saw a great multitude1 and had         
compassion on them1 and cured their     
sick4 #ad3ae;,and when it was evening   
his disciples came to him1 saying1 ,the 
place is solitary1 and the hour is      
already past2 dismiss the multitudes    
that they may go to the villages and buy
 themselves food4 #ad3af;,but ,jesus    
said to them1 ,they need not go away2   
give them food to eat4  #ad3ag;,and they
 said to him1 ,we have here only five   
loaves and two fishes4 #ad3ah;,and he   
said1 ,bring them here to me4           
#ad3ai;,and commanding the multitudes to

 sit down on the grass1 he took the five
 loaves and the two fishes1 and1 looking
 up to heaven1 blessed them1 and having 
broken them gave the bread to the       
disciples1 and the disciples to the     
multitudes4 #ad3bj;,and they all eat and
 were filled2 and they took up the      
fragments which remained over1 twelve   
travelling-baskets full2 #ad3ba;and     
those that eat were about five thousand 
men1 besides women and children4  #e    
#ad3bb;,and he immediately constrained  
the disciples to go into a ship and go  
before him to the other side1 till he   
should dismiss the multitudes4          
#ad3bc;,and having dismissed the        
multitudes1 he went on a mountain by    
himself to pray4 ,and when it was       
evening he was there alone4 #ad3bd;,but 
the ship was now in the midst of the    
lake tossed by the waves1 for the wind  
was contrary4 #ad3be;,and in the fourth 
watch of the night he came to them      
walking on the lake4 #ad3bf;,and when   
the disciples saw him walking on the    

lake1 they were troubled and said1 ,it  
is an apparition2 and they cried out for
 fear4 #ad3bg;,but ,jesus immediately   
spoke to them1 saying1 ,be of good      
courage2 it is ,i2 be not afraid4       
#ad3bh;,and ,peter answered and said to 
him1 ,lord1 if it is you1 command me to 
come to you on the waters4 #ad3bi;,and  
he said1 ,come4 ,and ,peter going down  
from the ship walked on the waters to go
 to ,jesus4 #ad3cj;,but seeing the wind 
strong he was afraid2 and beginning to  
sink1 cried1 saying1 ,lord save me6     
#ad3ca;and ,jesus immediately stretching
 out his hand1 took hold of him and     
said1 ,man of little faith1 why did you 
doubt8  #ad3cb;,and when they entered   
into the ship1 the wind ceased2         
#ad3cc;and those in the ship came and   
worshipped him2 saying1 ,truly you are  
the ,son of ,god4  #f #ad3cd;,and having
 crossed over1 they came to ,gennesaret4
  #ad3ce;,and when the men of that place
 knew him1 they sent to all the country 
around1 and brought to him all that were

 sick1 #ad3cf;and requested of him that 
they might only touch the fringe of his 
garment2 and as many as touched it were 
entirely cured4    ,,chapter ,,xiii4

,,traditions1 ,,etc4  #a #ae3a,,then    
came the scribes and ,pharisees from    
,jerusalem1 saying1 #ae3b,why do your   
disciples transgress the tradition of   
the elders1 for they wash not their     
hands when they eat bread8  #ae3c;,and  
he answered and said to them1 ,why do   
you transgress the command of ,god by   
your tradition8 #ae3d;,for ,god said1   
,honor your father and mother2 and he   
that reviles father or mother1 let him  
surely die4 #ae3e;,but you say1 ,whoever
 says to his father or mother what you  
might be profited with by me is a gift1

their heart is far from me4  #ae3i;,but 
in vain do they worship me1 teaching    
teachings and commandments of men4  #b

 he said1 ,hear and understand4 #ae3aa  
,not that which enters into the mouth1  
defiles the man2 but that which proceeds
 out of the mouth that defiles the man4 
#ae3ab,then the disciples came to him1  
and said to him1 ,do you know that the  
,pharisees were offended when they heard
 this word8 #ae3ac;,and he answered and 
said1 ,every plant which my heavenly    
,father has not planted1 shall be rooted
 up4 #ae3ad,let them go2 they are blind 
guides of the blind4 ,but if the blind  
lead the blind1 they will both fall into
 the pit4 #ae3ae;,and ,peter answered   
and said to him1 ,explain the parable to
 us4 #ae3af;,and he said1 ,are you so   
entirely without understanding8         
#ae3ag;,do you not understand that      
whatever goes into the mouth passes into
 the stomach1 and is cast out on the    
earth8 #ae3ah;,but the things which     

proceed from the mouth come from the    
heart1 and these defile the man4        
#ae3ai;,for from the heart proceed evil 
thoughts1 murders1 adulteries1          
fornications1 thefts1 false testimonies1
 blasphemies3 #ae3bjthese are the things
 which defile the man2 but to eat with  
unwashed hands does not defile the man4 
#c #ae3ba;,and ,jesus going out thence  
departed to the regions of ,tyre and    
,sidon4 #ae3bb;,and behold1 a woman of  
,canaan from those regions came out and 
cried1 saying1 ,have mercy on me1 ,lord1
 ,son of ,david2 my daughter is badly   
affected with a demon4 #ae3bc;,but he   
answered her not a word4 ,and his       
disciples came and asked him1 saying1   
,dismiss her1 for she cries after us4   
#ae3bd;,but he answered and said1 ,i am 
not sent1 except to the lost sheep of   
the house of ,israel4 #ae3be;,and she   
came and worshipped him1 saying1 ,lord1 
help me6 #ae3bf;,but he answered and    
said1 ,it is not right to take the      
children's bread and cast to the dogs4  

#ae3bg;,but she said1 ,yes1 ,lord2 for  
even the dogs eat of the crumbs which   
fall from the table of their masters4   
#ae3bh,then ,jesus answered and said to 
her1 ,o woman1 great is your faith6 ,be 
it to you as you wish2 and her daughter 
was cured from that hour4  #d           
#ae3bi;,and returning thence ,jesus came
 to the lake of ,galilee1 and going up  
on the mountain sat down there4         
#ae3cj;,and great multitudes came to    
him1 having with them the lame1 the     
blind1 the dumb1 the crippled1 and many 
others2 and they cast them at ,jesus'   
feet1 and he cured them2 #ae3caso that  
the multitude wondered1 seeing the dumb 
talk1 the crippled sound1 the lame walk1
 and the blind see2 and they glorified  
the ,god of ,israel4  #e #ae3cb;,and    
,jesus calling his disciples1 said1 ,i

days that they have continued with me1

you8 ,and they said1 ,seven1 and a few

to the other side they forgot to take   
bread4 #af3f;,and ,jesus said to them1  
,observe and beware of the leaven of the
 ,pharisees and ,sadducees4 #af3g;,but  
they reasoned within themselves1 saying1
 ,it is because we have not taken bread4

,why do you reason within yourselves1   
men of little faith1 because you have   
not taken bread8 #af3i;,do you not yet  
understand nor remember the five loaves 
of the five thousand1 and how many

#af3ajnor the seven loaves of the four  
thousand1 and how many store-baskets you
 took up8 #af3aa,why do you not

bread1 to beware of the leaven of the   
,pharisees and ,sadducees8 #af3ab,then  
they understood that he did not tell    
them to beware of the leaven of bread1

coming into the parts of ,cesarea

,jonas1 for flesh and blood has not     
revealed this to you1 but my ,father in 
heaven4 #af3ah ,and ,i tell you that you

 are ,peter a rock1 and upon this rock  
will ,i build my assembly1 and the gates
 of hades shall not prevail against it4 
#af3ai;,and ,i will give you the keys of
 the kingdom of heaven2 and whatever you
 bind on the earth shall be bound in    
heaven2 and whatever you unbind on the  
earth shall be unbound in heaven4       
#af3bj,then he charged his disciples to 
tell no man that he was the ,christ4  #d
 #af3ba;,from that time ,jesus began to 
show his disciples that he must go to   
,jerusalem1 and suffer many things from 
the elders1 and chief priests1 and      
scribes1 and be killed1 and raised on   
the third day4 #af3bb;,and ,peter taking
 hold of him said1 rebuking him1 ,far be
 it from you1 ,lord6 ,this shall not be 
to you4  #af3bc;,but he turned and said 
to ,peter1 ,get behind me1 ,satan6 ,you 
are an offense to me6 ,for you regard   
not the things of ,god1 but those of    
men4  #e #af3bd,then ,jesus said to his 
disciples1 ,if any one will come after  
me1 let him deny himself1 and take up   

his cross1 and follow me4 #af3be;,for   
whoever wishes to save his life shall   
lose it1 and whoever loses his life for 
my sake1 shall find it4 #af3bf;,for what
 is a man profited1 if he shall gain the
 whole world and lose his life8 ,or what
 will a man give as an exchange for his 
life8  #af3bg;,for the ,son of man is   
about to come in the glory of his       
,father1 with his angels1 and then shall
 he render to every one according to his
 doing4 #af3bh;,i tell you truly1 that  
some of those standing here shall not   
taste death till they see the ,son of   
man coming in his kingdom4    ,,chapter

,,transfigured4--,,curing ,a ,,demoniac1
 ,,and ,,paying ,,the ,,sacred          
,,tribute4  #a #ag3a;,,and after six    
days ,jesus took ,peter1 and ,james1 and
 ,john1 his brother1 and led them up on 
a high mountain by themselves4          
#ag3b;,and he was transfigured before   
them1 and his face shone like the sun1  
and his garments were white as the      

light4 #ag3c;,and behold there appeared 
to them ,moses and ,elijah conversing   
with him4 #ag3d;,and ,peter answered and
 said to ,jesus1 ,lord1 it is good for  
us to be here2 if you please1 we will   
make here three tabernacles1 one for    
you1 and one for ,moses1 and one for    
,elijah4  #ag3e,while he was yet        
speaking1 behold a bright cloud         
overshadowed them2 and behold a voice   
from the cloud1 saying1 ,this is my     
beloved ,son1 with whom ,i am well      
pleased2 hear him4 #ag3f;,and when they 
heard this the disciples fell on their  
faces1 and were greatly afraid4         
#ag3g;,and ,jesus came and touched them1
 and said1 ,arise1 and be not afraid4   
#ag3h;,and lifting up their eyes they   
saw no man1 except ,jesus alone4  #b    
#ag3i;,and when they went down from the 
mountain ,jesus charged them1 saying1   
,tell no man the vision till the ,son of
 man is raised from the dead4           
#ag3aj;,and the disciples asked him1    
saying1 ,why then do the scribes say    

that ,elijah must first come8           
#ag3aa;,and he answered and said1       
,elijah indeed comes1 and shall restore 
all things4 #ag3ab;,but ,i tell you     
,elijah has come already1 and they knew 
him not1 but did to him what they       
pleased4  ,in like manner1 also1 the    
,son of man is about to suffer from     
them4 #ag3ac,then the disciples         
understood that he spoke to them of     
,john the ,baptist4  #c #ag3ad;,and when
 they came to the multitude1 a man came 
to him1 kneeling to him and saying1     
#ag3ae,lord1 have mercy on my son1 for  
he is a lunatic1 and suffers greatly4   
,for he often falls into the fire1 and  
often into the water4 #ag3af;,and ,i    
brought him to your disciples and they  
could not cure him4 #ag3ag ,jesus       
answered and said1 ,o unbelieving and   
perverse generation6 ,how long shall ,i 
be with you8 ,how long shall ,i suffer  
you8 ,bring him here to me4 #ag3ah;,and 
,jesus rebuked him1 and the demon went  
out of him1 and the child was cured from

 that hour4 #ag3ai,then the disciples   
came to ,jesus privately1 and said1 ,why
 could we not cast it out8 #ag3bj;,and  
,jesus said to them1 ,on account of your
 unbelief4 ,for ,i tell you truly1 if   
you have a faith like a mustard seed1   
you shall say to this mountain1 ,be     
removed thence to that place1 and it    
shall be removed2 and nothing shall be  
impossible to you4 #ag3ba;,but this kind
 goes not out1 except by prayer and     
fasting4  #d #ag3bb;,and as they were   
returning in ,galilee1 ,jesus said to   
them1 ,the ,son of man is about to be   
delivered into the hands of men1        
#ag3bc;and they will kill him1 and on   
the third day he shall be raised2 and   
they were grieved exceedingly4  #e      
#ag3bd;,and when they came to           
,capernaum1 those who received the      
didrachma #bh cents1 came to ,peter1 and
 said1 ,does not your teacher pay the   
didrachma8 #ag3be;,he said1 ,yes4 ,and  
when he came into the house1 ,jesus     
anticipated him1 saying1 ,what do you   

think1 ,simon8 ,from whom do the kings  
of the earth receive taxes1 or a        
tribute8 ,from their children1 or from  
strangers8 #ag3bf;,he said to him1 ,from
 strangers4 ,jesus said to him2 ,then   
are the children free2 #ag3bg;but that  
we may not offend them1 go to the lake1 
and cast in a hook1 and take the first  
fish that comes up1 and opening its     
mouth you will find a stater #ef cents4

#ah3a;,,at that time the disciples came 
to ,jesus1 saying1 ,who is the greatest 
in the kingdom of heaven8 #ah3b;,and    
calling a little child1 he set it in the
 midst of them1 #ah3c;and said1 ,i tell 
you truly1 that if you do not turn and  
become like little children1 you can by 
no means enter into the kingdom of      
heaven4  #ah3d,whoever humbles himself  
like this little child1 shall be        

greatest in the kingdom of heaven2      
#ah3e;and whoever receives one such     
little child in my name1 receives me2   
#ah3f;but whoever offends one of these  
little ones that believe in me1 it would
 be better for him that a millstone     
should be hung to his neck1 and that he 
should be plunged into the depths of the
 sea4  #b #ah3g,woe to the world because
 of offenses6 ,for offenses must        
necessarily come1 but woe to that man by
 whom the offense comes6 #ah3h;,if your 
hand or foot offends you1 cut it off and
 cast it from you4 ,it is better for you
 to enter into life lame1 or crippled1  
than having two hands or two feet to be 
cast into the eternal fire4 #ah3i;,and  
if your eye offends you1 pluck it out   
and cast it from you4 ,it is better for 
you to enter into life having one eye1  
than having two eyes to be cast into the
 hell of fire4  #c #ah3aj,see that you  
despise not one of these little ones2   
for ,i tell you that their angels always
 behold the face of my ,father in       

heaven4 #ah3ab,what think you8 ,if a man
 has a hundred sheep1 and one of them is
 lost1 does he not leave the ninety-nine
 on the mountain1 and go and seek for   
the lost one8 #ah3ac;,and if he finds   
it1 ,i tell you truly that he rejoices  
over it more than over the ninety-nine  
which were not lost4 #ah3ad,so it is not
 the will of your ,father in heaven that
 one of these little ones should perish4
  #d #ah3ae;,but if your brother sins   
against you1 go and reprove him between 
you and him alone4 ,if he hears you1 you
 have gained your brother4 #ah3af;,but  
if he does not hear you1 take with you  
one or two more1 that by the mouth of   
two or three witnesses every word may be
 established2 #ah3ag;and if he will not 
hear them1 tell the assembly2 and if he 
will not hear the assembly1 let him be  
to you as a gentile and a publican4     
#ah3ah;,i tell you truly1 that whatever 
you bind on the earth shall be bound in 
heaven1 and whatever you unbind on the  
earth shall be unbound in heaven4       

#ah3ai;,again1 ,i tell you1 that if two 
of you shall agree on the earth         
concerning any thing for which they     
shall ask1 they shall have it from my   
,father in heaven2 #ah3bj;for where two 
or three are assembled together in my   
name1 there am ,i in the midst of them4 
#e #ah3ba,then came ,peter and said to  
him1 ,lord1 how many times shall my     
brother sin against me and ,i forgive   
him8 ,till seven times8 #ah3bb;,jesus   
said to him1 ,i say not to you till     
seven times1 but till seventy times     
seven4 #ah3bc,on this account1 the      
kingdom of heaven is like a king who    
wished to settle with his servants4     
#ah3bd;,and beginning to settle1 a      
debtor of ten thousand talents          
#aj1jjj1jjj was brought to him4         
#ah3be;,and he having nothing to pay1   
the lord commanded him to be sold1 and  
his wife and children1 and all that he  
had1 and payment to be made4            
#ah3bf,then the servant fell down and   
worshipped him1 saying1 ,have patience  

with me1 and ,i will pay all4           
#ah3bg;,and the lord of that servant    
having compassion on him released him1  
and forgave him the debt4  #f           
#ah3bh;,but that servant went out and   
found one of his fellow-servants who    
owed him one hundred denarii #ad1 and   
seizing him1 he choked him1 saying1 ,pay
 what you owe me4  #ah3bi,then his      
fellow-servant fell down and besought   
him1 saying1 ,have patience with me and 
,i will pay you4 #ah3cj;,but he would   
not2 but went and cast him into prison  
till he should pay the debt4 #ah3ca,then
 his fellow-servants seeing what was    
done1 were greatly displeased1 and went 
and related to their lord all things    
that were done4 #ah3cb,then his lord    
called him1 and said to him1 ,evil      
servant2 ,i forgave you all that debt   
because you besought me to do it4       
#ah3cc,ought you not also to pity your  
fellow-servant1 as ,i pitied you8       
#ah3cd;,and his lord was displeased1 and
 delivered him to the tormentors till he

 should pay all the debt4 #ah3ce,so also
 will my heavenly ,father do to you1 if 
you forgive not each one his brother    
from your hearts4    ,,chapter ,,xvii4

,jesus had finished these words he      
departed from ,galilee1 and came into   
the bounds of ,judea beyond the ,jordan2
 #ai3b;and great multitudes followed    
him1 and he cured them there4           
#ai3c;,and the ,pharisees came to him to
 try him1 and said1 ,is it lawful for a 
man to put away his wife for every      
cause8  #ai3d;,and he answered and said1
 ,have you not read that the ,creator at
 the beginning made them male and       
female8 #ai3e;and he said1 ,on this     
account shall a man leave his father and
 mother1 and be joined to his wife1 and 
the two shall be one flesh4 #ai3f,so    
that they are no longer two but one     
flesh4 ,what therefore ,god has yoked   
together1 let not man separate4  #b     
#ai3g,they said to him1 ,why then did   

,moses command us to give a bill of     
divorcement1 and put her away8 #ai3h;,he
 said to them1 ,moses1 on account of    
your hardness of heart1 allowed you to  
put away your wives2 but from the       
beginning it was not so4 #ai3i;,and ,i  
tell you1 that whoever puts away his    
wife1 except for adultery1 and marries  
another1 commits adultery2 and whoever  
marries her that is put away1 commits   
adultery4  #c #ai3aj,the disciples said 
to him1 ,if the case of a man is thus   
with his wife1 it is not expedient to   
marry4 #ai3aa;,and he said to them1 ,all
 do not receive this word1 but those to 
whom it is given4 #ai3ab;,for there are 
eunuchs from birth1 who were born so    
from their mother2 and there are eunuchs
 who are made eunuchs by men2 and there 
are eunuchs who have made themselves    
eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of  
heaven4 ,he that is able to receive this
 doctrine let him receive it4  #d       
#ai3ac,then little children were brought
 to him that he should put his hands on 

them and pray2 and the disciples rebuked
 them4  #ai3ad;,but ,jesus said1 ,suffer
 the little children to come to me1 and 
forbid them not1 for of such is the     
kingdom of heaven4  #ai3ae;,and he put  
his hands on them and departed thence4  
#e #ai3af;,and behold one came and said 
to him1 ,teacher1 what good work shall  
,i do that ,i may have eternal life8    
#ai3ag;,and he said to him1 ,why do you 
ask me of the good8 one is the good4    
,but if you wish to enter into life1    
keep the commandments4 #ai3ah;,he said  
to him1 ,what8 ,and ,jesus said1 this2  
,you shall not kill2 ,you shall not     
commit adultery2 ,you shall not steal2  
,you shall not testify falsely2         
#ai3ai;,honor your father and mother2   
and you shall love your neighbor as     
yourself4 #ai3bj,the young man said to  
him1 ,all these have ,i kept2 what do ,i
 lack yet8 #ai3ba;,jesus said to him1   
,if you will be perfect1 go and sell    
your property1 and give to the poor1 and
 you shall have a treasure in heaven2   

and come and follow me4 #ai3bb;,and when
 the young man heard this he went away  
sad1 for he had great possessions4  #f  
#ai3bc;,and ,jesus said to his          
disciples1 ,i tell you truly1 that a    
rich man will enter into the kingdom of 
heaven with difficulty4  #ai3bd;,and    
again ,i tell you1 it is easier for a   
camel to go through the eye of a needle1
 than for a rich man to enter into the  
kingdom of ,god4 #ai3be;,and the        
disciples hearing this1 were greatly    
astonished1 and said1 ,who then can be  
saved8 #ai3bf;,but ,jesus looking on    
them1 said1 ,with men this is           
impossible2 but with ,god all things are
 possible4  #g #ai3bg,then ,peter       
answered and said1 ,behold we have left 
all and followed you2 what shall we have
 therefore8 #ai3bh;,and ,jesus said to  
them1 ,i tell you truly1 that you who   
have followed me1 in the regeneration   
when the ,son of man shall sit on the   
throne of his glory1 shall yourselves   
also sit on twelve thrones1 judging the 

twelve tribes of ,israel2 #ai3bi;and    
whoever has left brothers or sisters1 or
 a father or mother1 or children1 or    
lands or houses1 for my name's sake1    
shall receive many times as much1 and   
inherit eternal life4 #ai3cj;,but many  
first shall be last2 and last1 first4   
#h #bj3a;,for the kingdom of heaven is  
like a householder who went out early in
 the morning to hire laborers in his    
vineyard4  #bj3b;,and agreeing with the 
laborers for a denarius #ad cents a day1
 he sent them into his vineyard4 #bj3c  
,and going out about the third hour1 he 
saw others standing idle in the market2 
#bj3d;and he said to them1 go also into 
the vineyard1 and whatever is right ,i  
will give you4 ,and they went4          
#bj3e;,again going out about the sixth  
and ninth hours1 he did likewise4       
#bj3f;,and going out about the eleventh 
hour he found others standing1 and said 
to them1 ,why stand you all the day     
idle8  #bj3g,they said to him1 ,because 
no man has hired us4 ,he said to them1  

,go also into the vineyard4 #bj3h;,and  
when it was evening the lord of the     
vineyard said to his steward1 ,call the 
laborers1 and pay them the wages        
stipulated1 beginning from the last even
 to the first4 #bj3i;,and those who came
 about the eleventh hour1 received a    
denarius #ad cents each4 #bj3aj;,and    
those who came first supposed that they 
should receive more4 ,and they also     
received a denarius #ad cents each2     
#bj3aa;and when they had received it1   
they complained of the householder1     
#bj3absaying1 ,these last have worked   
but one hour1 and you have made them    
equal with us1 who have borne the burden
 and heat of the day4 #bj3ac;,but he    
answered and said to one of them1       
,neighbor1 ,i do you no wrong4 ,did you 
not agree with me for a denarius #ad    
cents8 #bj3ad,take what belongs to you1 
and go1 for ,i will give to the last    
even as to you4 #bj3ae;,is it not right 
for me to do what ,i will with my own8  
,is your eye evil because ,i am good8   

#bj3af,so the last shall be first1 and  
the first last4  #i #bj3ag;,and ,jesus  
going up to ,jerusalem1 took his twelve 
disciples aside privately1 and said to  
them on the way1 #bj3ah;,behold we go up
 to ,jerusalem1 and the ,son of man will
 be delivered to the chief priests and  
scribes1 and they will condemn him to   
death1 #bj3ai;and deliver him to the    
gentiles1 to mock1 and scourge1 and     
crucify him2 and on the third day he    
shall be raised4  #aj #bj3bj,then came  
to him the mother of ,zebedee's children
 with her sons1 worshipping1 and asking 
a certain thing of him4  #bj3ba;,and he 
said to her1 ,what do you wish8 ,she    
said to him1 ,say that these my two sons
 shall sit1 one on your right hand1 and 
the other on your left1 in your kingdom4
 #bj3bb;,but ,jesus answered and said1  
,you know not what you ask4 ,can you    
drink of the cup of which ,i am about to
 drink8 ,they said to him1 ,we can4     
#bj3bc;,he said to them2 you shall drink
 indeed of my cup2 but to sit on my     

right hand1 and on my left1 is not mine 
to give1 but to those for whom it is    
prepared by my ,father4 #bj3bd;,and the 
ten hearing this were displeased with   
the two brothers4 #bj3be;,but ,jesus    
called them to him1 and said1 ,you know 
that the rulers of the gentiles exercise
 lordship over them1 and the great      
exercise authority over them2 but it    
shall not be so among you4 #bj3bf;,but  
whoever wishes to be great among you1   
let him be your minister2 #bj3bg;and    
whoever wishes to be first among you1   
let him be your servant1 #bj3bh;as the

to serve1 and to give his life a ransom 
for many4    ,,chapter ,,xviii4

multitude charged them to be still2 but 
they cried the more1 saying1 ,have mercy
 on us ,lord1 ,son of ,david6

them and said1 ,what do you wish me to  
do for you8 #bj3cc,they said to him1    
,lord1 that our eyes may be opened4

them1 touched their eyes2 and           
immediately they recovered their sight  
and followed him4  #b #ba3a;,and when   
they approached ,jerusalem1 and came to 
,bethphage1 at the ,mount of ,olives1   
then ,jesus sent two disciples1         
#ba3b;and said to them1 ,go into the    
village opposite to you1 and you will   
immediately find an ass tied1 and a colt
 with her2 untie them1 and lead them to 
me3 #ba3c;and if any one asks you why1  
say that the ,lord has need of them1 and
 he will immediately send them4 #ba3d   
,but all this was done that the words   
spoken by the prophet might be          

fulfilled1 who says2 #ba3e,tell the     
daughter of ,zion1 ,behold1 your king   
comes to you1 meek1 seated on an ass1   
and a colt the foal of an ass4  #c      
#ba3f;,and the disciples went and did as
 ,jesus commanded them1 #ba3g;and       
brought the ass and the colt1 and put   
garments on them1 and he sat on them4   
#ba3h;,and a vast multitude spread their
 garments in the way1 and others cut    
branches from the trees and scattered   
them in the way2 #ba3i;and the          
multitudes that went before1 and those  
that followed1 cried saying1 ,hosanna to
 the ,son of ,david6 ,blessed is he that
 comes in the name of the ,lord6        
,hosanna in the highest heavens6  #d    
#ba3aj;,and when he entered ,jerusalem  
the whole city was moved1 saying1 ,who  
is this8 #ba3aa;,and the multitude said1
 ,this is ,jesus1 the prophet who is    
from ,nazareth of ,galilee4 #ba3ab;,and 
,jesus entered into the temple of ,god1

 the temple1 and overturned the tables  

of the brokers1 and the seats of those  
that sold doves1 #ba3ac;and said to     
them1 ,it is written1 my house shall be

it a den of robbers4  #e #ba3ad;,and the
 blind and crippled came to him in the

when the chief priests and scribes saw  
the wonderful works which he performed1

there4  #f #ba3ah;,and returning into   
the city in the morning he was hungry2

,let there be no fruit on you forever4  

,and the fig tree immediately withered1 
#ba3bj;and the disciples seeing it1     
wondered and said1 ,how soon is this fig
 tree withered6  #ba3ba;,jesus answered 
and said to them1 ,i tell you truly1    
that if you have faith and doubt not1   
you shall not only do this of the fig   
tree1 but if you should say to this     
mountain1 ,be taken up and be cast into 
the sea1 it would be done2 #ba3bb;and   
all things whatever which you ask in    
prayer believing1 you shall receive4    
,,chapter ,,xix4  ,,christ ,,questioned 
,,by ,,the ,,chief ,,priests ,,and      
,,elders4 ,,the ,,parable ,,of ,,the    
,,vineyard4  #a #ba3bc;,,and ,jesus     
having gone into the temple1 the chief  
priests and elders of the people came to
 him as he was teaching1 and said1 ,by  
what authority do you do these things8  
and who gave you this authority8        
#ba3bd;,jesus answered and said to them1
 ,i also will ask you one question1     
which1 if you tell me1 ,i will tell you 
by what authority ,i do these things4   

#ba3be,whence was the baptism of ,john8 
from heaven or from men8 ,and they      
reasoned within themselves1 saying1 ,if 
we say from heaven1 he will say to us1  
,why did you not believe him8           
#ba3bf;,but if we say from men1 we fear 
the multitude1 for all regard ,john as a
 prophet4 #ba3bg ,and they answered     
,jesus1 and said1 ,we do not know4 ,and 
he said to them1 ,neither do ,i tell you
 by what authority ,i do these things4  
#b #ba3bh;,but what do you think8 ,a man
 had two sons2 and he went to the first1
 and said1 ,son1 go and work to-day in  
the vineyard4  #ba3bi;,but he answered  
and said1 ,i will not2 but afterwards he
 repented1 and went4 #ba3cj;,and he came
 to the other1 and said the same4 ,and  
he answered and said1 ,i will go sir1   
but went not4  #ba3ca,which of the two  
did the will of the father8 ,they said  
to him1 ,the first4 ,jesus said to them1
 ,i tell you truly1 that the publicans  
and harlots go into the kingdom of ,god 
before you4  #ba3cb;,for ,john came to  

you in a way of righteousness1 and you  
believed him not2 but the publicans and 
harlots believed him2 and when you saw  
this1 you did not afterwards repent1    
that you might believe him4  #c         
#ba3cc;,hear another parable3 ,there was
 a man1 a householder1 who planted a    
vineyard1 and made a hedge around it1   
and dug a wine vat in it1 and built a   
tower1 and let it out to husbandmen1 and
 went abroad4 #ba3cd;,and when the time 
of the fruits approached he sent his    
servants to the husbandmen to receive   
his fruits4 #ba3ce;,and the husbandmen  
took his servants1 and beat one1 and    
killed another1 and stoned another4     
#ba3cf;,again he sent other servants    
more than the first2 and they treated   
them in the same manner4 #ba3cg;,and    
afterwards he sent them his son1 saying1
 ,they will reverence my son4           
#ba3ch;,but when the husbandmen saw the 
son1 they said among themselves1 ,this  
is the heir2 come1 let us kill him and  
take his inheritance4 #ba3ci;,and they  

took him1 and cast him out of the       
vineyard1 and killed him4 #ba3dj,when1  
therefore1 the lord of the vineyard     
comes1 what will he do to those         
husbandmen8 #ba3da,they said to him1 ,he
 will inflict on those men a miserable  
death1 and let out his vineyard to other
 husbandmen1 who will render him the    
fruits in their seasons4  #d            
#ba3db;,jesus said to them1 ,have you   
never read in the ,scriptures1 ,the     
stone which the builders rejected1 the  
same has become the head of a corner8   
this is from the ,lord1 and is wonderful
 in our eyes8 #ba3dc;,i tell you1       
therefore1 that the kingdom of ,god     
shall be taken from you1 and given to a 
nation yielding its fruits4  #e         
#ba3de;,and the chief priests and       
,pharisees hearing his parables1 knew   
that he spoke of them2 #ba3df;and they  
sought to take him1 but feared the      
people1 because they regarded him as a  
prophet4    ,,chapter ,,xx4  ,,the      
,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,wedding1 ,,and   

,,questions ,,of ,,the ,,pharisees ,,and
 ,,sadducees4  #a #bb3a;,,and ,jesus    
answered and spoke to them again in     
parables saying1 #bb3b ,the kingdom of  
heaven is like a man1 a king1 who made a
 wedding for his son4 #bb3c;,and he sent
 his servants to call the invited to the
 wedding1 and they would not come4      
#bb3d;,again he sent other servants1    
saying1 ,tell the invited1 ,behold1 ,i  
have prepared my supper1 my oxen and    
fatted creatures are killed1 and all    
things are ready2 come to the wedding4  
#bb3e;,but they neglected it1 and went  
away1 one to his farm1 and another to   
his merchandise2 #bb3f;and the rest took
 his servants and treated them          
injuriously1 and killed them4 #bb3g;,and
 the king was angry1 and sent his armies
 and destroyed those murderers1 and     
burnt up their city4  #b #bb3h,then he  
said to his servants1 ,the wedding      
indeed is ready1 but the invited were   
not worthy4 #bb3i;,go1 therefore1 to the
 crossings of the ways1 and invite all  

you find to the wedding4 #bb3aj;,and    
those servants went out into the        
highways1 and collected all whom they   
found1 both bad and good1 and the       
wedding was furnished with guests4  #c  
#bb3aa;,and the king coming in to see   
the guests observed there a man who had 
not on a wedding garment1 #bb3ab;and    
said to him1 ,friend1 how came you in   
here not having a wedding garment8 ,and 
he was speechless4 #bb3ac,then the king 
said to the servants1 ,bind his feet and
 hands1 and cast him into the darkness  
outside4 ,there shall be weeping and    
gnashing of teeth4 #bb3ad;,for many are 
called1 but few chosen4  #d #bb3ae,then 
the ,pharisees went and took counsel to 
ensnare him in his words4 #bb3af;,and   
they sent to him their disciples1 with  
the ,herodians1 saying1 ,teacher1 we    
know that you are true1 and teach the   
way of ,god in truth1 and care not for  
any man2 for you regard not the face of 
men4 #bb3ag,tell us1 therefore1 what you
 think2 is it right to pay tribute to   

,caesar or not8 #bb3ah;,jesus knowing   
their wickedness1 said1 ,why do you     
hypocrites try me8  #bb3ai,show me the  
tribute money4 ,and they brought him a  
denarius #ad cents4 #bb3bj;,and he said 
to them1 ,whose is this image and this  
inscription8 #bb3ba,they said to him1   
,caesar's4 ,then he said to them1 ,give 
therefore ,caesar's dues to ,caesar1 and
 ,god's to ,god4 #bb3bb;,and hearing1   
they wondered1 and went away and left   
him4  #e #bb3bc,on that day the         
,sadducees came to him1 who say there is
 no resurrection1 and asked him1        
#bb3bdsaying1 ,teacher1 ,moses said1 ,if
 any one dies having no children1 his   
brother shall marry his wife1 and raise 
up children for his brother4 #bb3be,now 
there were with us seven brothers2 and  
the first married1 and died2 and having 
no children he left his wife to his     
brother2 #bb3bf;in like manner also the 
second1 and third1 till the seventh2    
#bb3bg last of all the woman died also4 
#bb3bh;,in the resurrection1 therefore1 

whose wife will she be of the seven8 for
 they all had her4 #bb3bi;,and ,jesus   
answered and said to them1 ,you err1 not
 knowing the ,scriptures1 nor the power 
of ,god4 #bb3cj;,for in the resurrection
 they neither marry nor are married1 but
 are as angels in heaven4 #bb3ca;,but   
concerning the resurrection of the dead1
 have you not read what was spoken to   
you by ,god1 saying1 #bb3cb;,i am the   
,god of ,abraham1 and the ,god of       
,isaac1 and the ,god of ,jacob8 ,god is 
not a ,god of the dead1 but of the      
living4  #bb3cc;,and the multitudes who 
heard were astonished at his teaching4  
#f #bb3cd;,and the ,pharisees hearing   
that he had silenced the ,sadducees1    
were assembled together1 #bb3ce;and one 
of them1 a lawyer1 asked him1 to try    
him1 #bb3cf,teacher1 what is the great  
commandment in the law8 #bb3cg;,and he  
said to him1 ,you shall love the ,lord  
your ,god with all your heart1 and all  
your soul1 and all your mind4           
#bb3ch,this is the great and first      

commandment4  #bb3ci;,and the second is 
like it1 ,you shall love your neighbor  
as yourself4 #bb3dj,on these two        
commandments hang all the law and the   
prophets4  #g #bb3da;,and the ,pharisees
 being assembled together1 ,jesus asked 
them1 #bb3db saying1 ,what do you think 
of the ,christ8 whose son is he8 ,they  
said to him1 ,david's4 #bb3dc;,he said  
to them1 ,how then does ,david in spirit
 call him ,lord1 saying1 #bb3dd,the     
,lord said to my ,lord1 ,sit on my right
 hand till ,i make your enemies your    
footstool8 #bb3de;,if then ,david calls 
him ,lord1 how is he his son8           
#bb3df;,and no one was able to answer   
him a word1 neither dared any one after 
that day to question him farther4       
,,chapter ,,xxi4  ,,christ ,,denouncing 
,,the ,,scribes ,,and ,,pharisees4  #a  
#bc3a,,then ,jesus spoke to the         
multitudes and his disciples1           
#bc3bsaying1 ,the scribes and ,pharisees
 sit in ,moses' seat4  #bc3c;,all things
 therefore which they tell you1 do and  

keep4 ,but do not their works4 ,for they
 say and do not1 #bc3d;but bind heavy   
burdens and put them on the shoulders of
 men1 but will not move them with their 
finger4 #bc3e;,and they do all their    
works to be seen by men4 ,for they make 
broad their prayer fillets1 and enlarge 
the fringes1 #bc3f and love the first   
tables at feasts1 and the first seats in
 the synagogues1 #bc3g;and salutations  
in the markets1 and to be called by men1
 ,rabbi4 #bc3h ,but do not you be called
 ,rabbi2 ,for one is your teacher1 and  
you are all brothers4 #bc3i;,and call no

be humbled1 and he that humbles himself

 you scribes and ,pharisees1 hypocrites6

before men2 for you enter not into it1  

neither do you suffer those entering to 
go in4  #bc3ae,woe to you scribes and   
,pharisees1 hypocrites6 ,for you compass
 the sea and the dry land to make one   
proselyte2 and when he is gained you    
make him twice as much a child of hell  
as yourselves4 #bc3af,woe to you blind  
guides1 who say1 ,whoever swears by the

 him privately1 saying1 ,tell us when   
these things shall be2 and what shall be

 the sign of your coming1 and of the    
consummation of the world8 #bd3d;,and   
,jesus answered and said to them1 ,see  
that no man deceives you2 #bd3e;for many
 shall come in my name1 saying1 ,i am   
the ,christ1 and shall deceive many4    
#bd3f;,and you shall hear of wars and   
rumors of wars2 see that you be not     
terrified1 for all things must be       
accomplished2 but the end is not yet4   
#bd3g;,for nation shall rise against    
nation1 and kingdom against kingdom2 and
 there shall be famines1 and            
pestilences1 and earthquakes1 in        
different places2 #bd3h;but all these   
things are the beginning of sorrows4  #b
 #bd3i,then they shall deliver you to   
affliction1 and kill you1 and you shall 
be hated by all nations on my account2  
#bd3aj;and then many shall be offended1 
and shall betray one another1 and hate  
one another2 #bd3aa;and many false      
prophets shall be raised up and deceive 
many1 #bd3ab;and because wickedness     
shall abound the love of the many shall 

become cold3 #bd3ac;but he that endures 
to the end shall be saved4 #bd3ad;,and  
this good news of the kingdom shall be  
preached in all the world1 for a        
testimony to all nations2 and then shall
 the end come4  #c #bd3ae,when1         
therefore1 you see the abomination of   
desolation1 spoken of by ,daniel the    
prophet1 standing in a holy place--let  
him that reads understand1-- #bd3afthen 
let those in ,judea flee to the         
mountains4 #bd3ag,let not him that is on
 his house come down to take the things 
from his house2 #bd3ah;and let not him  
that is in the field return back to take
 his clothes2 #bd3ai;and woe to those   
with child and giving nurse in those    
days6  #bd3bj;,but pray that your flight
 may not be in the winter1 nor on the   
,sabbath2 #bd3ba;for at that time there 
shall be great affliction1 such as has  
not been from the beginning of the world
 even till now1 nor ever shall be4      
#bd3bb;,and unless those days were      
shortened no flesh would be saved3 but  

on account of the elect those days shall
 be shortened4  #d #bd3bc,then if one   
says to you1 ,behold1 here is the       
,christ1 or there6 believe it not4      
#bd3bd;,for false ,christs and false    
prophets shall be raised up1 and shall  
show great signs and wonders1 so as to  
deceive1 if possible1 even the elect4   
#bd3be;,behold1 ,i have told you before4
 #bd3bf;,if1 therefore1 they say to you1
 ,behold he is in the wilderness1 go not
 forth2 ,behold he is in private rooms1 
believe it not4 #bd3bg;,for as the      
lightning comes forth from the ,east1   
and shines even to the ,west1 so shall  
the coming of the ,son of man be4 #bd3bh
 ,wherever the dead body is1 there will 
the eagles be gathered together4  #e    
#bd3bi;,and immediately after the       
affliction of those days the sun shall  
be darkened1 and the moon shall not give
 her light1 and the stars shall fall    
from heaven1 and the powers of the      
heavens shall be shaken4 #bd3cj;,and    
then shall appear the sign of the ,son  

of man in heaven2 and then shall all the
 tribes of the earth mourn2 and they    
shall see the ,son of man coming on the 
clouds of heaven1 with power and great  
glory4 #bd3ca;,and he shall send his    
angels with a loud sound of a trumpet1  
and they shall gather his elect from the
 four winds1 from the one end of heaven 
to the other4  #f #bd3cb;,but learn the 
parable of the fig tree4 ,when its      
branch is now green1 and puts forth     
leaves1 you know that the summer is     
nigh4 #bd3cc,so also when you see all   
these things1 know that the ,son of man 
is nigh1 at the doors4 #bd3cd;,i tell   
you truly1 that this generation shall   
not pass away till all these things     
shall be accomplished4 #bd3ce;,heaven   
and earth shall pass away1 but my words 
shall not pass away4  #g #bd3cf;,but of 
that day and hour no man knows1 nor the 
angels of heaven2 but my ,father only4  
#bd3cg;,and as the days of ,noah1 so    
shall the coming of the ,son of man be4 
#bd3ch;,for as in the days before the   

flood they were eating and drinking1    
marrying and giving in marriage1 till   
the day that ,noah entered the ark1     
#bd3ci;and knew not till the flood came 
and took them all away1 so shall the    
coming of the ,son of man be4           
#bd3dj,then two shall be in the field2  
one is taken and the other left4        
#bd3da,two women shall be grinding at   
the mill2 one is taken and the other    
left4  #h #bd3db,watch1 therefore1 for  
you know not on what day your ,lord     
comes1 #bd3dc;,but know this1 that if   
the householder had known in what watch 
the thief comes1 he would have watched1 
and not have suffered his house to be   
broken into4 #bd3dd,therefore be you    
also ready1 for in such an hour as you  
think not the ,son of man comes4        
#bd3de,who then is the faithful and wise
 servant whom the ,lord has placed over 
his family to give them food in due     
season8  #bd3df;,blessed is that servant
 whom his ,lord1 when he comes1 shall   
find so doing4 #bd3dg;,i tell you truly1

 that he will place him over all his    
estates4  #i #bd3dh;,but if that evil   
servant says in his heart1 ,my ,lord    
delays his coming1 #bd3di;and begins to 
beat his fellow-servants1 and eats and  
drinks with drunkards1 #bd3ejthe ,lord  
of that servant will come on a day when 
he looks not for him1 and at an hour    
that he knows not of1 #bd3ea;and will   
punish him with the utmost severity1 and
 appoint his portion with hypocrites4   
,there shall be weeping and gnashing of 
the teeth4  #aj #be3a,then the kingdom  
of heaven shall be likened to ten       
virgins who took their own lamps and    
went out to meet the bridegroom2        
#be3b;and five of them were foolish1 and
 five wise4  #be3c,the foolish took     
their lamps and took no oil with them2  
#be3d;but the wise took oil in the      
vessels with their lamps4  #be3e ,and   
while the bridegroom delayed1 all       
slumbered and slept2 #be3f;but at       
midnight there was a cry1 ,behold the   
bridegroom2 go out to meet him4         

#be3g,then all those virgins arose and  
trimmed their own lamps4 #be3h;,and the 
foolish said to the wise1 ,give us of   
your oil1 for our lamps have gone out4  
#be3i;,but the wise answered1 saying1   
,no2 lest there be not enough for us and
 you2 go rather to those that sell1 and 
buy for yourselves4 #be3aj;,and while   
they went to buy the bridegroom came2   
and the ready went in with him to the   
wedding1 and the door was shut4

 came1 and said1 ,lord1 ,lord1 open to  
us4 #be3ab;,but he answered and said1 ,i
 tell you truly ,i know you not4        
#be3ac,watch1 therefore1 for you know   
not the day nor the hour4  #aa          
#be3ad;,for1 as a man going abroad      
called his servants1 and delivered to   
them his estates2 #be3aeto one he gave  
five talents #e1jjj1 to another two     
#b1jjj1 and to another one #a1jjj2 to   
each according to his ability1 and      
immediately went abroad4  #be3af;,and he
 that received the five talents went and

 traded with them1 and made other five2 
#be3ag;in like manner1 also1 he that    
received the two gained two others2     
#be3ah;but he that received the one went

came and said1 ,lord1 ,i knew you that  
you are a hard man1 reaping where you   
have not sowed1 and gathering where you 
have not scattered1 #be3be;and being    
afraid ,i went away and hid your talent 
in the earth2 behold1 you have what is  
yours4 #be3bf;,and his ,lord answered   
and said to him1 ,evil and slothful     
servant1 you knew that ,i reap where ,i 
have not sowed1 and gather whence ,i    
have not scattered8  #be3bg;,and you    
ought then to have given my money to the
 brokers1 and at my coming1 ,i should   
have received my own with interest4     
#be3bh,take his talent1 therefore1 from 
him1 and give it to him that has ten    
talents2 #be3bi;for to every one that   
has shall be given1 and he shall have an
 abundance2 but from him that has not1  
even what he has shall be taken away2

another1 as a shepherd separates the    
sheep from the goats2 #be3cc;and he     
shall place the sheep on his right hand1

him1 saying1 ,lord1 when did we see you

 done it to me4  #ae #be3da,then shall  
he say to those on his left hand1       
,depart from me accursed1 into the      
eternal fire prepared for the devil and 
his angels4 #be3db;,for ,i was hungry

you8 #be3de,then he shall answer them

#bf3a,,when ,jesus had finished all     
these words he said to his disciples1   
#bf3b,you know that after two days is   
the passover1 and the ,son of man is    
delivered up to be crucified4 #bf3c,then
 the chief priests and the elders of the
 people were assembled in the court of  
the chief priest1 who was called        
,caiaphas1 #bf3d;and they took counsel  
to seize ,jesus by stratagem1 and kill  
him4  #bf3e;,but they said1 ,not at the 
feast1 lest there be a tumult among the 
people4  #b #bf3f;,and ,jesus being at  
,bethany1 in the house of ,simon the    
leper1 #bf3g;a woman came to him having 
a vase of very costly ointment1 and     
poured it on his head1 as he reclined4  
#bf3h;,and his disciples seeing it were 
displeased1 and said1 ,why is this      
waste8 #bf3i,this could have been sold  
for much and given to the poor4         

#bf3aj;,but ,jesus knowing it1 said to  
them1 ,why do you trouble the woman8 for
 she has done a good work for me2       
#bf3aa;for the poor you always have with
 you1 but me you have not always4       
#bf3ab;,for in putting this ointment on 
my body1 she has done it to prepare me  
for burial4 #bf3ac;,i tell you truly1   
that wherever this good news is preached
 in all the word1 what this woman has   
done shall be told for a memorial of    
her4  #c #bf3ad,then went one of the    
twelve called ,judas ,iscariot to the   
chief priests1 #bf3ae;and said1 ,what   
will you give me to deliver him to you8 
,and they gave him thirty shekels of    
silver #af4hj4 #bf3af;,and from that    
time he sought a good opportunity to    
deliver him up4 #bf3ag;,and on the first
 day of unleavened bread the disciples  
came to ,jesus1 saying1 ,where do you   
wish us to prepare for you to eat the   
passover8 #bf3ah;,and he said1 ,go into 
the city to such a one1 and say to him1 
,the ,teacher says1 ,my time is at hand2

 ,i will keep the passover with you1    
together with my disciples4 #bf3ai;,and 
the disciples did as ,jesus commanded   
them1 and prepared the passover2        
#bf3bj;and when it was evening he       
reclined with the twelve4 #bf3ba;,and as
 they were eating1 he said1 ,i tell you 
truly1 that one of you will betray me4  
#bf3bb;,and being grieved exceedingly1  
they each one began to say to him1      
,lord1 is it ,i8 #bf3bc;,but he answered
 and said1 ,he that dips his hand with  
me in the dish1 he shall betray me4     
#bf3bd,the ,son of man goes indeed1 as  
it is written of him1 but woe to that   
man by whom the ,son of man is betrayed6
 it would be good for him if that man   
had not been born4 #bf3be;,and ,judas1  
who betrayed him1 answered and said1 ,is
 it ,i1 ,rabbi8 ,he said to him1 ,as you
 say4  #d #bf3bf;,and as they were      
eating ,jesus took the bread1 and having
 blessed1 broke and gave to the         
disciples1 and said1 ,take1 eat2 this is
 my body4 #bf3bg ,and taking the cup1   

and giving thanks1 he gave it to them1  
saying1 ,drink you all of it2 #bf3bhthis
 is my blood of the new covenant1 which 
is poured out for many for the          
forgiveness of sins4 #bf3bi;,and ,i tell
 you that ,i will not drink henceforth  
of this product of the vine1 till that  
day when ,i drink it with you new in the
 kingdom of my ,father4 #bf3cj;,and     
having sung a hymn they went out to the 
,mount of ,olives4  #e #bf3ca,then      
,jesus said to them1 ,you will all be   
offended with me this night2 for it is  
written1 ,i will smite the shepherd1 and
 the sheep of the flock shall be        
scattered2 #bf3cb;but after ,i have     
risen ,i will go before you into

offended with you1 ,i will not4

truly1 that this night1 before the cock 
crows1 you will deny me thrice4         
#bf3ce,peter said to him1 ,if it should 
be necessary for me to die with you1 ,i 

will by no means deny you4 ,and all the 
disciples said the same4    ,,chapter   
,,xxiv4  ,,christ ,,in ,,gethsemane1    
,,and ,,before ,,the ,,sanhedrim4  #a   
#bf3cf,,then ,jesus went with them to a 
place called ,gethsemane1 and said to   
the disciples1 ,sit here1 till ,i go and
 pray there4  #bf3cg;,and taking ,peter 
and the two sons of ,zebedee1 he began  
to be sorrowful and dejected4           
#bf3ch,then he said to them1 ,my soul is
 sorrowful even to death2 remain here   
and watch with me4  #bf3ci;,and going   
forward a little1 he fell on his face1  
and prayed and said1 ,my ,father1 if it 
is possible let this cup pass from me2  
but not as ,i will1 but as thou wilt4   
#bf3dj;,and he came to the disciples and
 found them sleeping1 and said to       
,peter1 ,are you so unable to watch with
 me one hour8 #bf3da,watch and pray that
 you enter not into trial2 the spirit   
indeed is willing1 but the flesh is     
weak4  #b #bf3db;,going away again a    
second time1 he prayed1 saying1 ,my     

,father1 if this cup cannot pass from me
 unless ,i drink it1 thy will be done4  
#bf3dc;,and he came and found them      
sleeping again1 for their eyes were     
heavy4 #bf3dd;,and leaving them1 again  
he went away and prayed1 saying the same
 words4 #bf3de,then he came to the      
disciples and said to them1 ,do you     
sleep still and take your rest8 ,behold 
the hour is at hand1 and the ,son of man
 is delivered into the hands of sinners4
 #bf3df;,arise1 let us go2 behold1 he   
that betrays me is at hand4  #c         
#bf3dg;,and while he was yet speaking1  
behold1 ,judas1 one of the twelve1 came1
 and with him a great multitude1 with   
swords and clubs1 from the chief priests
 and elders of the people4  #bf3dh;,and 
he that betrayed him gave them a sign1  
saying1 ,the one that ,i shall kiss is  
he2 take him4 #bf3di;,and immediately   
coming forward to ,jesus1 he said1      
,hail1 ,rabbi1 and kissed him4          
#bf3ej;,but ,jesus said to him1         
,comrade1 for what have you come8  ,then

 they came forward1 and laid hands on   
,jesus1 and took him4  #bf3ea;,and      
behold1 one of those with ,jesus1       
stretching out his hand1 drew his sword1
 and striking the servant of the chief  
priest cut off his ear4 #bf3eb,then     
,jesus said to him1 ,put up your sword  
in its place2 for all who take the sword
 shall perish by the sword4 #bf3ec;,do  
you think that ,i could not ask my      
,father1 and he would furnish me more   
than twelve legions of angels8          
#bf3ed;,how then would the ,scriptures  
be accomplished1 that it must be so8  #d
 #bf3ee;,at that time ,jesus said to the
 multitudes1 ,have you come out as      
against a robber1 with swords and clubs 
to take me8 ,i sat daily teaching in the
 temple1 and you did not take me2       
#bf3ef;but all this was done that the   
writings of the prophets might be       
fulfilled4 ,then the disciples all      
forsook him and fled4  #bf3eg;,and      
having taken ,jesus1 they led him away  
to ,caiaphas1 the chief priest1 where   

the scribes and elders were assembled4  
#bf3eh;,but ,peter followed him at a    
distance1 even to the court of the chief
 priest1 and going in sat with the      
officers to see the end4  #e #bf3ei;,and
 the chief priests and all the sanhedrim
 sought false testimony against ,jesus  
to kill him1 #bf3fj;and did not find it1
 though many false witnesses came       
forward4 ,but afterwards1 two coming    
forward #bf3fasaid1 ,this man said1 ,i  
can destroy the temple of ,god and build
 it in three days4 #bf3fb ,and the chief
 priest rising up said to him1 ,do you  
answer nothing8 ,what do these testify  
against you8 #bf3fc;,but ,jesus was     
silent4 ,and the chief priest answering1
 said to him1 ,i adjure you1 by the     
living ,god1 to tell me if you are the  
,christ1 the ,son of ,god4              
#bf3fd;,jesus said to him1 ,as you say2 
but ,i tell you that hereafter you shall
 see the ,son of man sitting on the     
right hand of the power1 and coming on  
the clouds of heaven4  #f #bf3fe,then   

the chief priest rent his clothes1      
saying1 ,he has blasphemed2 what further
 need have we of witnesses8 ,behold1 now
 you have heard the blasphemy4          
#bf3ff,what do you think8 ,and they     
answered and said1 ,he is worthy of     
death4 #bf3fg,then they spit in his     
face1 and struck him with their fists1  
and some struck him with the palms of   
their hands1 #bf3fhsaying1 ,prophesy to 
us1 ,christ1 who is it that struck you8 
#g #bf3fi;,but ,peter sat without in the
 court2 and a female servant came to    
him1 saying1 ,you also were with ,jesus 
the ,galilean4  #bf3gj;,but he denied it
 before all1 saying1 ,i know not what   
you say4 #bf3ga;,and going out into the 
porch1 another female servant saw him1  
and said to those there1 ,this man was  
also with ,jesus the ,nazoraean4        
#bf3gb;,and again he denied with an     
oath1 saying1 ,i know not the man4      
#bf3gc;,but after a little while those  
standing by came forward1 and said to   
,peter1 ,certainly you are also one of  

them1 for your speech makes you         
manifest4 #bf3gd,then he began to curse 
and swear1 saying1 ,i know not the man4 
,and immediately a cock crew2 #bf3ge;and
 ,peter remembered the word of ,jesus1  
who said1 ,before a cock crows you will 
deny me thrice2 and he went out and wept
 bitterly4    ,,chapter ,,xxv4  ,,christ
 ,,before ,,pontius ,,pilate4  #a       
#bg3a;,,and when it was morning all the 
chief priests and the elders of the     
people took counsel against ,jesus to   
kill him4  #bg3b;,and having bound him1 
they led him away1 and delivered him to 
,pontius ,pilate1 the procurator4       
#bg3c,then ,judas1 who betrayed him1    
seeing that he was condemned1 repenting1
 returned the thirty shekels of silver  
#af4hj to the chief priests and elders1 
#bg3d saying1 ,i have sinned1 betraying 
innocent blood4 ,but they said1 ,what is
 that to us8 see you to it4 #bg3e;,and  
throwing down the silver in the temple  
he departed2 and having gone away       
strangled himself4  #b #bg3f;,and the   

chief priests taking the silver said1   
,it is not lawful to put it into the    
treasury1 because it is the price of    
blood4 #bg3g;,and taking counsel1 they  
bought with it the potter's field for a 
burying place for strangers4 #bg3h;,for 
this reason1 the field is called a field
 of blood to this day4 #bg3i,then was   
fulfilled the word spoken by ,jeremiah  
the prophet1 saying2 ,and they took the 
thirty shekels of silver1 the price of  
him that was prized1 whom men from the  
sons of ,israel set a price upon1       
#bg3aj;and gave them for the potter's   
field1 as the ,lord commanded me4  #c   
#bg3aa;,and ,jesus stood before the     
procurator2 and the procurator asked    
him1 saying1 ,are you the king of the   
,jews8 ,and ,jesus said to him1 ,as you 
say4 #bg3ab ,and when he was accused by 
the chief priests and elders he answered
 nothing4 #bg3ac,then ,pilate said to   
him1 ,do you not hear how many things   
they testify against you8 #bg3ad;,and he
 answered him not a word2 so that the   

procurator wondered greatly4  #d        
#bg3ae;,and at the feast the procurator 
was accustomed to release to the        
multitude one prisoner1 whom they chose2
 #bg3af;and he then had a noted prisoner
 called ,barabbas4  #bg3ag,when1        
therefore1 they were assembled together1
 ,pilate said to them1 ,which do you    
wish me to release to you8 ,barabbas8 or
 ,jesus1 called ,christ8 #bg3ah;,for he 
knew that they had delivered him up from
 envy4 #bg3ai;,and as he sat on the     
tribunal his wife sent to him1 saying1  
,have nothing to do with that just man1 
for ,i have suffered much to-day on his 
account1 from a dream4  #e #bg3bj;,but  
the chief priests and elders persuaded  
the people to ask for ,barabbas1 and to 
destroy ,jesus4 #bg3ba;,and the         
procurator answered and said to them1   
,which of the two do you wish me to     
release to you8 ,and they said1         
,barabbas4 #bg3bb,pilate said to them1  
,what then shall ,i do to ,jesus1 called
 ,christ8 ,they all said1 ,let him be   

crucified4 #bg3bc;,but he said1 ,no2 for
 what evil has he done8 ,and they cried 
more vehemently1 saying1 ,let him be    
crucified4  #f #bg3bd;,and ,pilate      
seeing that he accomplished nothing1 but
 that rather a tumult was made1 took    
water and washed his hands before the   
multitude1 saying1 ,i am innocent of the
 blood of this man2 see you to it4      
#bg3be;,and all the people answered and 
said1 ,his blood be upon us and upon our
 children4 #bg3bf,then he released      
,barabbas to them1 and having scourged  
,jesus delivered him up to be crucified4
    ,,chapter ,,xxvi4  ,,christ',s      
,,death ,,and ,,burial4  #a #bg3bg,,then
 the soldiers of the procurator taking  
,jesus to the ,praetorium assembled     
about him the whole cohort1 #bg3bh;and  
stripped him1 and put on him a crimson  
cloak1 #bg3bi;and making a crown of     
thorns they put it on his head1 and a   
reed in his right hand2 and they knelt  
before him1 and mocked him1 saying1     
,hail1 ,king of the ,jews6 #bg3cj;,and  

they spit on him1 and took the reed and 
beat him on his head4 #bg3ca;,and when  
they had mocked him1 they took the cloak
 off from him1 and put on him his own   
clothes1 and led him away to crucify    
him4  #b #bg3cb;,and going out1 they    
found a ,cyrenian by the name of ,simon1
 whom they compelled to bear his cross4 
#bg3cc;,and coming to a place called    
,golgotha1 which is called ,a place of a
 cranium1 #bg3cdthey gave him vinegar to
 drink mixed with gall2 and when he had 
tasted of it he would not drink4  #c    
#bg3ce;,and having crucified him1 they  
parted his garments1 casting lots1      
#bg3cf;and sat down and watched him     
there4  #bg3cg;,and they put over his   
head his accusation1 written2 ,,this    
,,is ,,jesus ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the    
,,jews4 #bg3ch,then two robbers were    
crucified with him1 one on the right    
hand1 and the other on the left4  #d    
#bg3ci;,and those who went by blasphemed
 him1 wagging their heads1 #bg3dj;and   
saying1 ,you that destroy the temple and

 build it in three days1 save yourself4 
,if you are the ,son of ,god1 come down 
from the cross4 #bg3da;,and the chief   
priests in like manner also mocked him1 
with the scribes and elders1 and said1  
#bg3db;,he saved others1 himself he     
cannot save4 ,if he is the king of      
,israel let him come down now from the  
cross1 and we will believe on him2      
#bg3dc;he trusted in ,god2 let him      
deliver him if he wishes for him2 for he
 said1 ,i am a ,son of ,god4 #bg3dd,the 
robbers also that were crucified with   
him did the same1 and reproached him4   
#bg3de;,and from the sixth hour there   
was darkness on all the land till the   
ninth hour2 #bg3df;and at about the     
ninth hour ,jesus cried with a loud     
voice1 saying1 ,eli1 ,eli1 lama         
sabachthani8 that is1 ,my ,god1 my ,god1
 why hast thou forsaken me8 #bg3dg;,and 
some of those standing there hearing    
him1 said1 ,he calls for ,elijah4       
#bg3dh;,and one of them ran immediately 
to him1 and took a sponge1 and filled it

 with vinegar1 and putting it on a reed 
gave it to him to drink4 #bg3di;,but the
 rest said1 ,let him alone2 let us see  
if ,elijah will come and save him4      
#bg3ej;,and ,jesus crying again with a  
loud voice1 gave up the spirit4  #e     
#bg3ea;,and behold1 the vail of the     
temple was rent in two1 from top to     
bottom1 and the earth was shaken1 and   
the rocks rent1 #bg3eb;and the tombs    
were opened1 and many bodies of saints  
that slept arose1 #bg3ec;and going out  
of the tombs1 after his resurrection    
entered into the holy city1 and appeared
 to many4  #f #bg3ed;,and the centurion 
and those with him watching ,jesus1     
seeing the earthquake1 and the other    
events which occurred1 were greatly     
afraid1 and said1 ,certainly1 this was a
 ,son of ,god4  #bg3ee;,and there were  
many women there1 beholding from afar1  
who had followed ,jesus from ,galilee1  
to wait upon him2 #bg3ef;among whom were
 ,mary the ,magdalene1 and ,mary the    
mother of ,james and ,joses1 and the    

mother of the sons of ,zebedee4  #g     
#bg3eg;,and when it was evening a rich  
man came from ,arimathea1 by the name of
 ,joseph1 who himself also was a        
disciple of ,jesus2 #bg3ehthis man went 
to ,pilate and asked for the body of    
,jesus4  ,then ,pilate commanded it to  
be given him2 #bg3ei;and ,joseph took   
the body1 and wrapped it in clean linen1
 #bg3fj and placed it in a new tomb of  
his which he had excavated in a rock1   
and having rolled a great stone to the  
door of the tomb he went away2          
#bg3fa;and ,mary the ,magdalene and the 
other ,mary were there1 sitting opposite
 to the tomb4    ,,chapter ,,xxvii4

is after the preparation1 the chief

together to ,pilate1 #bg3fc;and said1   
,sir1 we remember that this deceiver    
said when he was yet alive1 ,after three
 days ,i will rise4 #bg3fd;,command1    
therefore1 the tomb to be made safe till

 the third day1 lest his disciples      
should come and steal him1 and say to   
the people1 ,he is raised from the dead1
 and the last error be worse than the   
first4  #bg3fe,pilate said to them1 ,you
 have a guard2 go and make it as safe as
 you can4 #bg3ff;,and they went and made
 the tomb safe with a guard1 having     
sealed the stone4  #b #bh3a;,and after  
the sabbath1 when it began to dawn on   
the first day of the week1 came ,mary   
the ,magdalene1 and the other ,mary1 to 
see the tomb4 #bh3b;,and behold1 there  
was a great earthquake1 for an angel of 
the ,lord descending from heaven came   
and rolled away the stone and sat upon  
it4 #bh3c;,and his appearance was like  
lightning1 and his clothing as white as 
snow2 #bh3d;and from fear of him the    
keepers shook and became like dead men4 
#bh3e;,and the angel answered and said  
to the women1 ,fear not1 for ,i know    
that you seek ,jesus the crucified4     
#bh3f;,he is not here1 for he is raised1
 as he said4 ,come and see the place    

where the ,lord lay1 #bh3g;and go       
immediately and tell his disciples that 
he is raised from the dead2 and behold1 
he will go before you into ,galilee2    
there shall you see him4 ,behold1 ,i    
have told you4 #bh3h;,and going out     
immediately from the tomb with fear and 
great joy1 they ran to tell his         
disciples4  #c #bh3i;,and behold1 ,jesus
 also met them1 saying1 ,hail6 ,and they
 approached him1 and took hold of his   
feet1 and worshipped him4 #bh3aj,then   
,jesus said to them1 ,fear not2 go and  
tell my brothers to go to ,galilee1 and 
there they shall see me4 #bh3aa;,and as 
they went1 behold1 some of the guard    
came into the city and told the chief   
priests all the things which had        
happened4 #bh3ab;,and being assembled   
with the elders1 and taking counsel1    
they gave large sums of money to the    
soldiers1 #bh3acsaying1 ,say that his   
disciples came by night and stole him   
while we slept2 #bh3ad;and if this is   
heard of by the procurator we will      

satisfy him and secure you4 #bh3ae;,and 
they took the silver and did as they    
were told2 and this report is circulated
 among the ,jews to this day4  #d       
#bh3af;,and the eleven disciples went to
 ,galilee on the mountain where ,jesus  
had appointed them2 #bh3ag;and they saw 
and worshipped him2 but some doubted4   
#bh3ah;,and ,jesus coming near spoke to 
them1 saying1 ,all power is given me in 
heaven and on the earth2 #bh3ai;go and  
disciple all nations1 baptizing them in 
the name of the ,father1 and of the     
,son1 and of the ,holy ,spirit2

straight4  #b #a3d;,john baptized in the
 wilderness1 preaching the baptism of a 
change of mind for the forgiveness of   
sins4 #a3e;,and all the country of      
,judea and all the people of ,jerusalem 
went out to him and were baptized by him
 in the river ,jordan1 confessing their 
sins4  #c #a3f;,and ,john was clothed   
with camel's hairs and a leather girdle 
about his loins1 and he eat locusts and 
wild honey1 #a3g;and preached1 saying1  
,after me comes one mightier than ,i1   
the strings of whose shoes ,i am not fit
 to stoop down and untie2 #a3h;,i have  
baptized you with water1 but he shall   
baptize you with the ,holy ,spirit4  #d 
#a3i;,in those days came ,jesus from    
,nazareth of ,galilee1 and was baptized 
in the ,jordan by ,john2 #a3aj;and going

 up immediately out of the water1 he saw
 the heavens opened1 and the ,spirit    
descend like a dove upon him2 #a3aa;and 
there was a voice from heaven1 ,you are 
my beloved ,son1 with whom ,i am well   
pleased4  #a3ab;,and the ,spirit        
immediately drove him into the          
wilderness1 #a3ac;and he was in the     
wilderness forty days1 tempted by       
,satan1 and was with the beasts2 and the
 angels waited on him4  #e #a3ad;,and   
after ,john was delivered up ,jesus came
 into ,galilee preaching the good news  
of ,god1 #a3aesaying1 ,the time is      
completed1 and the kingdom of ,god is at
 hand2 change your minds and believe in 
the good news4 #a3af;,and passing along 
by the lake of ,galilee1 he saw ,simon1 
and ,andrew1 ,simon's brother1 casting a
 net into the lake1 for they were       
fishermen4 #a3ag;,and ,jesus said to    
them1 ,come after me1 and ,i will make  
you fishermen of men4  #a3ah;,and       
immediately leaving their nets they     
followed him4  #a3ai;,and proceeding a  

little further on he saw ,james the son 
of ,zebedee1 and ,john his brother2 and 
they were in the ship mending the nets2 
#a3bj;and he immediately called them4   
,and leaving their father ,zebedee in   
the ship with the hired men1 they went  
away after him4  #f #a3ba;,and they     
entered into ,capernaum1 and immediately
 on the sabbath he taught in the        
synagogues4 #a3bb;,and they were        
astonished at his teaching1 for he      
taught them as having authority1 and not
 as the scribes4  #g #a3bc;,and         
immediately there was in their synagogue
 a man with an impure spirit1 and he    
cried out1 #a3bdsaying1 ,what have you  
to do with us1 ,jesus ,nazarene8 have   
you come to destroy us8 ,we know you who
 you are1 the holy ,son of ,god6        
#a3be;,and ,jesus rebuked him saying1   
,be still1 and come out of him4         
#a3bf;,and the impure spirit affecting  
him with convulsions1 and crying with a 
loud voice1 came out of him4 #a3bg;,and 
all were astonished1 so that they       

inquired among themselves1 saying1 ,what
 is this8 a new teaching with authority1
 and does he command the impure spirits 
and they obey him8 #a3bh;,and his fame  
went out immediately into all the       
country about ,galilee4  #h #a3bi;,and  
going immediately out of the synagogue1 
they came into the house of ,simon and  
,andrew with ,james and ,john2 #a3cj;and
 ,simon's mother-in-law was lying with a
 fever2 and immediately they told him of
 her4 #a3ca;,and coming1 he took her by 
the hand1 and raised her up1 and the    
fever immediately left her1 and she     
waited on them4  #i #a3cb;,and at       
evening when the sun went down they     
brought to him all that were sick1 and  
the demoniacs2 #a3cc;and the whole city 
was assembled at the door4 #a3cd;,and he
 healed many that were sick with various
 diseases1 and cast out many demons1 and
 suffered not the demons to say that    
they knew him4  #aj #a3ce;,and in the   
morning while it was quite dark he arose
 and went out1 and departed to a        

solitary place1 and there prayed4       
#a3cf;,and ,simon and those with him    
followed him1 #a3cg;and said to him1    
,all men seek you4 #a3ch;,and he said to
 them1 ,let us go elsewhere to the      
adjoining villages to preach there2     
because for this purpose have ,i come4  
#a3ci;,and he preached in their         
synagogues in all ,galilee1 and cast out
 demons4  #aa #a3dj;,and a leper came to
 him beseeching him1 saying to him1 ,if 
you will1 you can cleanse me4 #a3da;,and
 having compassion on him1 he stretched 
out his hand and touched him1 and said  
to him1 ,i will2 be cleansed4 #a3db;,and
 the leprosy immediately left him1 and  
he was cleansed4 #a3dc;,and giving him a
 strict charge1 he immediately sent him 
away1 #a3dd;and said to him1 ,see that  
you say nothing to any one1 but go and  
show yourself to the priest1 and offer  
for your cleansing what ,moses          
commanded1 for a testimony to them4     
#a3de;,and going out he spread and      
published abroad the report1 to such an 

extent that he ,jesus could no longer go
 openly into a city1 but was without in 
solitary places2 and they came to him   
from every quarter4    ,,chapter ,,ii4  
,,christ ,,forgiving ,,sins1 ,,eating   
,,with ,,publicans ,,and ,,sinners1     
,,and ,,his ,,doctrine ,,of ,,fasting1  
,,of ,,the ,,sabbath1 ,,etc4  #a        
#b3a;,,and entering again into          
,capernaum after some days1 it was      
reported that he was in the house4      
#b3b;,and many came together            
immediately1 so that there was no room1 
not even in the places about the door2  
and he spoke to them the word4 #b3c;,and
 they came to him bringing a paralytic1 
borne by four2 #b3d;and not being able  
to approach him on account of the       
multitude1 they uncovered the roof where
 he was1 and having made an opening let 
down the bed on which the paralytic was 
laid4 #b3e;,and ,jesus seeing their     
faith1 said to the paralytic1 ,son1 your
 sins are forgiven4  #b #b3f;,and some  
of the scribes were sitting there1 and  

reasoned in their minds1 #b3g,why does  
this man speak so8 he blasphemes4  ,who 
can forgive sins but ,god alone8        
#b3h;,and ,jesus immediately knowing in 
his spirit that they so reasoned within 
themselves1 said to them1 ,why do you   
reason in your minds8 #b3i;in what      
respect is it easier to say to the      
paralytic1 ,your sins are forgiven you1 
than to say1 ,arise1 take up your bed   
and walk8  #b3aj;,but that you may know 
that the ,son of man has power to       
forgive sins on the earth1 he said to   
the paralytic1 #b3aa;,i tell you1 arise1
 take your bed and go to your house4    
#b3ab;,and he was raised up and         
immediately taking his bed he went away 
before all2 so that all were astonished1
 and glorified ,god1 saying1 ,we never  
saw the like4  #c #b3ac;,and he went out
 again by the lake1 and all the         
multitude came to him1 and he taught    
them4 #b3ad;,and passing by he saw      
,levi1 the son of ,alpheus1 sitting at  
the custom house1 and said to him1      

,follow me2 and he arose and followed   
him4 #b3ae;,and he was reclining in his 
house1 and many publicans and sinners   
also reclined with ,jesus and his       
disciples1 for many also followed him4  
#b3af;,and the scribes and ,pharisees   
seeing him eating with sinners and      
publicans1 said to his disciples1 ,why  
does he eat and drink with sinners and  
publicans8 #b3ag;,and ,jesus hearing it1
 said to them1 ,the well need not a     
physician1 but the ill2 ,i came not to  
call the righteous1 but sinners4  #d    
#b3ah;,and the disciples of ,john and of
 the ,pharisees fasted4  ,and they came 
and said to him1 ,why do the disciples  
of ,john and the disciples of the       
,pharisees fast1 and your disciples fast
 not8 #b3ai;,and ,jesus said to them1   
,can the sons of the bridechamber fast  
as long as the bridegroom is with them8 
,as long as they have the bridegroom    
with them1 they cannot fast1 #b3bj;but  
days will come when the bridegroom shall
 be taken from them1 and then they shall

 fast at that time4 #b3ba,no one sews a 
piece of undressed cloth on an old      
garment2 if he does the new piece takes 
away its fullness from the old1 and the 
rent is made worse4 #b3bb;,and no one   
puts new wine into old bottles2 if he   
does the wine breaks the bottles1 and   
the wine and the bottles are destroyed4 
#e #b3bc;,and he was passing on the     
sabbath through the grain fields1 and   
his disciples began to make their way1  
picking heads of grain4 #b3bd;,and the  
,pharisees said to him1 ,see what they  
do on the sabbath1 which it is not      
lawful to do4 #b3be;,and he said to     
them1 ,have you never read what ,david  
did1 when he had need1 and was hungry8  
both he and those with him8 #b3bf;,how  
he entered into the house of ,god under 
,abiathar the chief priest1 and eat the 
show bread1 which it was not lawful to  
eat1 except for the priests1 and gave   
also to them that were with him8        
#b3bg;,and he said to them1 ,the sabbath
 was made for man1 and not man for the  

sabbath2 #b3bhso that the ,son of man is
 ,lord even of the sabbath4  #f         
#c3a;,and he entered again into the     
synagogue1 and there was a man there    
having a withered hand4 #c3b;,and they  
watched him to see if he would cure him 
on the sabbath1 that they might accuse  
him4 #c3c;,and he said to the man having
 the withered hand1 ,arise in the midst4
 #c3d;,and he said to them1 ,is it      
lawful to do good on the sabbath1 or to 
do evil8 to save life1 or to kill8 ,and 
they were silent4 #c3e;,and looking     
around on them in anger1 being grieved  
at the hardness of their hearts1 he said
 to the man1 ,stretch out your hand4    
,and he stretched it out1 and his hand  
was restored4 #c3f;,and the ,pharisees  
went out immediately with the           
,herodians1 and took counsel against him
 to kill him4  #g #c3g;,and ,jesus went 
away with his disciples to the lake2 and
 a great multitude followed him from    
,galilee1 #c3h;and from ,jerusalem1 and 
from ,judea1 and from ,idumea1 and      

beyond the ,jordan4 ,and those about    
,tyre and ,sidon1 a great multitude1    
hearing what he did1 came to him4       
#c3i;,and he told his disciples to have 
a boat constantly attend him on account 
of the multitude1 that they might not   
throng him4 #c3aj;,for he cured many1 so
 that all who had diseases fell down    
before him1 that they might touch him2  
#c3aa;and the impure spirits when they  
saw him fell down before him1 and cried1
 saying1 ,you are the ,son of ,god4     
#c3ab ,and he strictly charged them not 
to make him known4    ,,chapter ,,iii4  
,,christ ,,calling ,,the ,,twelve       
,,apostles1 ,,the ,,character ,,of ,,his
 ,,miracles1 ,,etc41 ,,and ,,his ,,love

 he went up on the mountain1 and called 
whom he would2 and they went to him4    
#c3ad;,and he appointed twelve1 that    
they should be with him1 and that he    
might send them out to preach1 #c3ae;and
 have power to cast out demons4         
#c3af;,and he gave to ,simon the name of

 ,peter4 ,he appointed him1 #c3ag;and   
,james the son of ,zebedee1 and ,john   
the brother of ,james--and he gave them 
the names of ,boanerges1 which is1 ,sons
 of thunder-- #c3ah;and ,andrew1 and    
,philip1 and ,bartholomew1 and ,matthew1
 and ,thomas1 and ,james the son of     
,alpheus1 and ,thaddeus1 and ,simon the 
,zealot1 #c3ai;and ,judas ,iscariot1 who
 also betrayed him4 ,and they came into 
a house1 #c3bj;and again a multitude    
came together1 so that they could not   
eat bread4 #c3ba;,and those with him    
hearing of it1 went out to take him2 for
 they said1 ,he is beside himself4  #b  
#c3bb;,and the scribes coming down from 
,jerusalem said1 ,he has ,beelzebul1 and
 casts out demons by the ruler of       
demons4 #c3bc;,and calling them1 he said
 to them in parables1 ,how can ,satan   
cast out ,satan8 #c3bd;,and if a kingdom
 is divided against itself1 that kingdom
 cannot stand2 #c3be;and if a house is  
divided against itself1 that house      
cannot stand2 #c3bf;and if ,satan has   

risen up against himself1 and is        
divided1 he cannot stand1 but has an    
end4  #c3bg;,but no one can enter into  
the house of a strong man1 and plunder  
his goods1 unless he first binds the    
strong man1 and then he will plunder his
 house4 #c3bh;,i tell you truly1 ,that  
all sins and blasphemies with which they
 blaspheme shall be forgiven the        
children of men2 #c3bi;but whoever      
blasphemes against the ,holy ,spirit    
shall never have forgiveness1 but is the
 subject of an eternal mistake2         
#c3cj;because they said1 ,he has an     
impure spirit4  #c #c3ca,then came his  
brothers and his mother1 and standing   
without1 sent to him to call him4       
#c3cb;,and a multitude sat around him4  
,and they said to him1 ,behold your     
mother1 and your brothers1 and your     
sisters seek you without4 #c3cc ,and he 
answered them and said1 ,who is my      
mother1 or my brothers8  #c3cd;,and     
looking round on those sitting about    
him1 he said1 ,behold my mother1 and my

taught by the lake2 and a very great    
multitude came together to him1 so that 
entering into a ship he sat on the lake1
 and all the multitude were by the lake 
on the land4  #d3b;,and he taught them  
many things in parables1 and said to    
them1 in his teaching1 #d3c;,hear6      
behold a sower went out to sow2 #d3d;and
 in sowing1 some fell on the way1 and   
the birds came and devoured it4         
#d3e;,and some fell on a rocky place1   
where it had not much earth1 and it came
 up immediately1 because it had no depth
 of earth2 #d3f;and when the sun rose1  
it was scorched1 and because it had no  
root it was dried up4 #d3g;,and some    
fell among thorns2 and the thorns came  
up and choked it1 and it yielded no     
fruit4 #d3h;,and some fell on good      

ground1 and produced fruit1 growing up  
and increasing1 and bore one thirty1 one
 sixty1 and one a hundred4 #d3i;,and he 
said1 ,he that has ears1 let him hear4  
#b #d3aj;,and when he was alone1 those  
about him1 with the twelve1 asked him   
the parable4 #d3aa;,and he said to them1
 ,to you is given the mystery of the    
kingdom of ,god1 but to those without   
all things are in parables2 #d3abthat   
seeing they may see1 and not perceive1  
and hearing they may hear1 and not      
understand1 lest at any time they should
 turn1 and be forgiven4 #d3ac;,and he   
said to them1 ,do you not know this     
parable8 ,how then will you know all    
parables8  #c #d3ad,the sower sows the  
word4 #d3ae;,and these are those where  
the word is sown by the way2 and when   
they hear1 ,satan comes immediately and 
takes away the word which was sown upon 
them4  #d3af;,and these in like manner  
are those sown on the rocky places2 when
 they hear the word1 they immediately   
receive it with joy1 #d3ag;and have no  

root in themselves1 but are temporary   
disciples4 ,then1 when affliction or    
persecution occurs on account of the    
word1 they are immediately offended4    
#d3ah;,and those sown among thorns are  
different4 ,they are those who hear the 
word1 #d3ai;and the cares of life1 and  
the deceitfulness of riches1 and the    
desires of other things coming in1 choke
 the word1 and it becomes unfruitful4   
#d3bj;,and these are those sown in good 
ground1 who hear the word1 and receive  
it1 and bear fruit1 one thirty1 and one 
sixty1 and one a hundred4  #d #d3ba;,and
 he said to them1 ,does a light come to 
be put under a modius #a4iaf gallon     
measure1 or under a bed8 and not to be  
put in a candlestick8 #d3bb;,for there  
is nothing hid that shall not be made   
manifest1 nor any thing concealed that  
shall not come to light4 #d3bc;,if any  
one has ears to hear1 let him hear4

 more shall be given you4  #d3be;,for   
whoever has1 to him shall be given2 and 
whoever has not1 from him even what he  
has shall be taken away4  #e #d3bf;,and 
he said1 ,so is the kingdom of ,god as a
 man casts the seeds into the earth1    
#d3bg;and sleeps and wakes1 night and   
day1 and the seed germinates1 and grows 
he knows not how4 #d3bh,the earth       
produces spontaneously1 first the stalk1
 then the head1 then the full wheat in  
the head4 #d3bi;,and when the wheat     
delivers itself1 he immediately sends   
out the sickle1 because the harvest has 
come4 #d3cj;,and he said1 ,to what shall
 ,i liken the kingdom of ,god8 or with  
what parable shall ,i present it8       
#d3ca;,it is like a mustard seed1 which 
when sown in the earth is the least of  
all seeds on the earth2 #d3cb;but when  
sown1 it comes up1 and becomes the      
greatest of all plants1 and produces    
great branches1 so that the birds of    
heaven can dwell under its shade4       
#d3cc;,and with many such parables spoke

 he the word to them as they could hear2
 #d3cd;but without a parable spoke he   
not to them2 and1 privately1 he         
explained all things to his disciples4  
#f #d3ce;,and on that day1 when it was  
evening1 he said to them1 ,let us cross 
over to the other side4 #d3cf;,and      
dismissing the multitude1 they took him 
as he was in the ship2 and other ships  
also were with him4 #d3cg;,and there was
 a great tempest of wind1 and the waves 
beat over the ship1 so that the ship was
 already filled4 #d3ch;,and he was in   
the stern1 on the pillow1 asleep4 ,and  
they awoke him and said to him1         
,teacher1 do you not care that we       
perish8 #d3ci;,and he arose1 and rebuked
 the wind1 and said to the lake1 ,hush6 
,be still6 ,and the wind ceased1 and    
there was a great calm4 #d3dj;,and he   
said to them1 ,why are you so fearful8  
,how have you no faith8 #d3da;,and they 
were greatly afraid1 and said one to    
another1 ,what man is this1 that even

#e3cwho lived in the tombs1 and none    
could bind him with a chain2 #e3d;for he
 was often bound with fetters and       
chains1 and his chains were broken by   
him1 and his fetters crushed1 and no one
 could subdue him4 #e3e;,and he was     
always night and day in the tombs1 and  
in the mountains1 crying1 and cutting   
himself with stones4 #e3f;,and seeing   
,jesus at a distance1 he ran and        
worshipped him1 #e3g;and crying with a  
loud voice1 said1 ,what have you to do  
with me1 ,jesus1 son of the most high   
,god8 ,i adjure you1 by ,god1 not to    
torment me4 #e3h ,for he said to him1   
,impure spirit1 come out of the man4    
#e3i;,and he asked him1 ,what is your   

name8 ,and he said to him1 ,my name is  
,legion1 for we are many4  #b #e3aj;,and
 they besought him much that he would   
not send them out of the country4       
#e3aa;,and there was there on the       
mountain a great herd of swine feeding4 
#e3ab;,and they besought him1 saying1   
,send us to the swine1 that we may go   
into them4 #e3ac;,and ,jesus immediately
 permitted them4 ,and the impure spirits
 going out entered into the swine1 and  
the herd rushed down a precipice into   
the lake1 about two thousand1 and were  
drowned in the lake4  #c #e3ad;,and     
those who fed them fled and told it in  
the city and in the country2 and they   
came out to see what was done4          
#e3ae;,and they came to ,jesus1 and saw 
the demoniac who had the legion1 sitting
 down1 clothed1 and in his right mind1  
and they were afraid4 #e3af;,and those  
who saw related to them how it had been 
with the demoniac1 and concerning the   
swine4 #e3ag;,and they besought him to  
depart from their bounds4 #e3ah;,and    

entering into the ship1 the man that had
 been a demoniac besought him that he   
might go with him2 #e3ai;and he         
permitted him not1 but said to him1 ,go 
to your home1 to your friends1 and      
relate to them what the ,lord has done  
for you1 and what mercy he has shown    
you4 #e3bj;,and he went away and        
proclaimed in the ,decapolis what great 
things ,jesus had done for him2 and all 
wondered4  #d #e3ba;,and ,jesus having  
crossed again in the ship to the other  
side1 a great multitude came together to
 him2 and he was by the lake4 #e3bb;,and
 one of the synagogue rulers came1      
,jairus by name1 and seeing him1 fell at
 his feet1 #e3bc and besought him much1 
saying1 ,my little daughter is at the   
point of death2 come and lay hands on   
her1 that she may be restored1 and she  
shall live4  #e3bd;,and he went away    
with him2 and a great multitude followed
 him1 and thronged him4 #e3be;,and a    
certain woman having a hemorrhage of    
twelve years1 #e3bf;and having taken    

many things by many physicians1 and     
expended all her property1 and not being
 benefited1 but rather growing worse1   
#e3bg;hearing of ,jesus1 came in the    
crowd behind him and touched his        
clothes4 #e3bh;,for she said1 ,if ,i can
 touch his clothes ,i shall be cured4   
#e #e3bi;,and immediately the fountain  
of her blood was dried up1 and she knew 
in herself that she was cured of the    
plague4  #e3cj;,and ,jesus immediately  
knowing in himself that a power had gone
 out from him1 turning round in the     
crowd said1 ,who touched my clothes8    
#e3ca;,and his disciples said to him1   
,you see the multitude throng you1 and  
do you say1 ,who touched me8 #e3cb;,and 
he looked round to see her that had done
 this4 #e3cc;,and the woman being       
afraid1 and trembling1 knowing what was 
done to her1 came and fell down before  
him1 and told him all the truth4        
#e3cd;,and he said to her1 ,daughter1   
your faith has cured you2 go in peace1  
and be well of your plague4  #f         

#e3ce;,and while he was yet speaking    
persons came from the house of the      
synagogue ruler1 saying1 ,your daughter 
is dead2 why trouble the teacher8 #e3cf 
,and ,jesus hearing the word spoken1    
said to the synagogue ruler1 ,fear not1 
only believe4 #e3cg;,and he permitted no
 man to accompany him except ,peter1 and
 ,james1 and ,john the brother of       
,james4 #e3ch;,and they came to the     
house of the synagogue ruler1 and saw   
the tumult1 and the people weeping and  
lamenting much4 #e3ci;,and he went in   
and said to them1 ,why do you make a    
tumult and weep8 the little child is not
 dead1 but sleeps4 #e3dj;,and they      
derided him4 ,and putting them all out1 
he took the father and mother of the    
little child1 and those with him1 and   
went in where the little child was2     
#e3da;and taking the hand of the little 
child1 he said to her1 ,talitha cum1    
which is interpreted1 ,girl1 ,i tell you
 arise2 #e3db;and immediately the girl  
arose and walked about1 for she was     

twelve years old4 ,and they were        
astonished with great astonishment4     
#e3dc;,and he charged them strictly that
 no one should know it1 and directed    
that food should be given her4          
,,chapter ,,vi4  ,,christ ,,at

#f3a;,,and he departed thence1 and came 
into his own country4 ,and his disciples
 followed him4 #f3b;,and when it was the
 sabbath1 he taught in the synagogue2   
and many heard him and were astonished1 
and said1 ,whence has this man these    
things8 and what is the wisdom given to 
him8 ,and what are these mighty works   
done by his hands8 #f3c;,is not this the
 carpenter8 the son of ,mary8 and a     
brother of ,james1 and ,joset1 and      
,judas1 and ,simon8 ,and are not his    
sisters here with us8 ,and they were    

offended with him4  #f3d;,and ,jesus    
said to them1 ,a prophet is not without 
honor1 except in his own country1 and   
with his relations1 and in his own      
house4 #f3e;,and he could not do any    
mighty work there1 except that he laid  
hands on a few sick persons1 and cured  
them4 #f3f;,and he wondered at their    
unbelief4 ,and he went about the        
villages in order1 teaching4  #b        
#f3g;,and he called the twelve1 and sent
 them out two and two1 and gave them    
power over impure spirits2 #f3h;and     
charged them to take nothing for the    
way1 except a staff only2 not bread1 nor
 a provision sack1 nor copper in the    
girdle1 #f3i;but to wear sandals1 and   
not to put on two coats4 #f3aj;,and he  
said to them1 ,where you enter into a   
house1 there remain till you go out     
thence4 #f3aa ,and whatever place will  
not receive you1 nor hear you1 when you 
go out thence shake off the dust which  
is under your feet for a testimony to   
them4 #f3ab;,and going out1 they        

preached that men should change their   
minds1 #f3ac;and cast out many demons1  
and anointed many sick persons with oil1
 and cured them4  #c #f3ad;,and ,herod  
the king1 heard of ,jesus1 for his name 
was widely known1 and said1 ,john the   
,baptist has risen from the dead2 and on
 this account the mighty works are      
performed by him4  #f3ae;,but others    
said1 he is ,elijah2 and others said1   
,he is a prophet1 like one of the       
prophets4 #f3af;,but ,herod hearing of  
him1 said1 ,this is ,john whom ,i       
beheaded2 he has been raised up4        
#f3ag;,for ,herod had sent and taken    
,john1 and1 put him bound in prison on  
account of ,herodias1 his brother       
,philip's wife1 because he had married  
her4 #f3ah;,for ,john said to ,herod1   
,it is not lawful for you to have your  
brother's wife4 #f3ai;,and ,herodias was
 displeased with him1 and wished to kill
 him1 but was not able4 #f3bj;,for      
,herod feared ,john1 knowing that he was
 a righteous and holy man1 and he       

preserved him1 and hearing him1 did many
 things1 and heard him gladly4 #f3ba    
,and on a convenient day1 when ,herod   
made a supper in honor of his birthday1 
for his great men1 and the chiliarchs1  
and the first men of ,galilee1 #f3bbthe 
daughter of this ,herodias came in and  
danced1 and pleased ,herod1 and those   
that reclined with him4 ,and the king   
said to the girl1 ,ask me what you will 
and ,i will give it to you2 #f3bc;and he
 swore to her1 ,whatever you shall ask  
of me ,i will give you1 to half of my   
kingdom4 #f3bd;,and she went out and    
said to her mother1 ,what shall ,i ask8 
,and she said1 ,the head of ,john the   
,baptist4 #f3be;,and coming in          
immediately with haste to the king1 she 
asked1 saying1 ,i wish you to give me   
immediately on a plate the head of ,john
 the ,baptist4  #d #f3bf;,and the king  
was extremely sorry1 but on account of  
the oaths1 and those reclining with him1
 he was not willing to refuse her4      
#f3bg;,and the king immediately sending 

an executioner1 commanded him to bring  
his head4 ,and he went out and beheaded 
him in the prison1 #f3bh;and brought his
 head on a plate1 and gave it to the    
girl1 and the girl gave it to her       
mother4 #f3bi;,and his disciples hearing
 of it1 came and took up his body1 and  
laid it in a tomb4  #e #f3cj;,and the   
apostles came together to ,jesus and    
reported to him all things1 both what   
they had done and what instructions they
 had given4 #f3ca;,and he said to them1 
,come to a solitary place by yourselves1
 and rest a little2 for many were coming
 and going1 and there was no convenient 
time to eat4 #f3cb;,and they went away  
to a solitary place in the ship by      
themselves4  #f3cc;,and many saw them   
going1 and knew them2 and they ran      
together there from all the cities on   
foot1 and went before them4  #f3cd;,and 
going out he saw a great multitude1 and 
had compassion on them1 for they were as
 sheep not having a shepherd2 and he    
taught them much4  #f #f3ce;,and when   

much time had already passed1 his       
disciples came to him and said1 ,this is
 a solitary place1 and much time has    
already passed2 #f3cf;dismiss them1 that
 they may go to the farms and villages  
around1 and buy them something to eat4  
#f3cg;,and he answered and said to them1
 ,give them something to eat4 ,and they 
said to him1 ,shall we go and buy two   
hundred denarii #bh worth of bread1 and 
give them to eat8 #f3ch;,and he said to 
them1 ,how many loaves have you8 go and 
see4 ,and knowing1 they said1 ,five1 and
 two fishes4 #f3ci;,and he commanded    
them to cause all to recline in         
companies on the green grass4 #f3dj;,and
 they sat down in squares1 by hundreds  
and by fifties4 #f3da;,and taking the   
five loaves and two fishes1 and looking 
up to heaven1 he blessed1 and broke the 
loaves1 and gave them to his disciples  
to set before them4 ,and he divided the 
two fishes to all4 #f3db;,and they all  
eat1 and were filled2 #f3dc;and they    
took up of fragments twelve             

traveling-baskets full1 and of the      
fishes4 #f3dd ,and they that eat the    
bread were five thousand men4  #g       
#f3de;,and he immediately constrained   
his disciples to go into the ship1 and  
to go before him to the other side1 to  
,bethsaida1 while he dismissed the      
multitude2 #f3df;and having dismissed   
them1 he went away to the mountain to   
pray4 #f3dg;,and when it was evening1   
the ship was in the midst of the lake1  
and he alone on the land4 #f3dh;,and    
seeing them troubled to proceed1 for the
 wind was against them1 about the fourth
 watch of the night he came to them     
walking on the lake1 and wished to pass 
by them4 #f3di;,and seeing him walking  
on the lake1 they thought it was an     
apparition1 and cried out1 #f3ej;for    
they all saw and were troubled4 ,and    
immediately he spoke with them1 and said
 to them1 ,be of good courage2 it is ,i2
 be not afraid4 #f3ea;,and he went up to
 them into the ship1 and the wind       
ceased1 and they were astonished in     

themselves above measure1 and wondered2 
#f3eb;for they understood not concerning
 the bread1 for their heart was         
hardened4  #h #f3ec;,and crossing over  
they came to the land of ,gennesaret1   
and came to anchor4 #f3ed;,and going out
 of the ship1 they immediately knew him1
 #f3ee;and ran about through that whole 
country1 and brought those that were    
sick on beds where they heard that he   
was4 #f3ef;,and wherever he went1 in    
villages1 or cities1 or country places1 
they placed the sick in the markets1 and
 besought him that they might touch the 
fringe of his garment1 and as many as   
touched him were cured4    ,,chapter

 and some of the scribes having come    
from ,jerusalem came together to him1   
#g3b;and seeing some of his disciples   
eat bread with defiled1 that is1        
unwashed hands1 they found fault4       

#g3c;,for the ,pharisees and all the    
,jews eat not unless they wash their    
hands with the fist1 holding the        
tradition of the elders4 #g3d;,and from 
a market1 unless they baptize they eat  
not2 and there are many other customs   
which they have received to hold2       
baptisms1 of cups and sextuses #a #a-b  
pint measures1 and brass vessels1 and   
beds4 #g3e;,and the ,pharisees and      
scribes asked1 ,why do not your         
disciples conform to the tradition of   
the elders2 but eat bread with defiled  
hands8  #b #g3f;,and he said to them1   
,well did ,isaiah prophecy of you1      
hypocrites1 as it is written2 ,this     
people honors me with the lips1 but     
their heart is far from me2 #g3g;but in 
vain do they worship me1 teaching for   
teachings the commandments of men2      
#g3h;for leaving the commandment of     
,god1 you hold the tradition of men4  #c
 #g3i;,and he said to them1 ,well do you
 reject the commandment of ,god1 to keep
 your tradition2 #g3aj;for ,moses said1 

,honor your father and your mother1 and1
 ,he that reviles father or mother1 let 
him surely die4 #g3aa;,but you say1 ,if 
a man says to his father or mother1 ,it 
is a corban1 which is a gift1 by        
whatever you might be profited by me1 he
 shall be free2 #g3ab;and suffer him no 
longer to do any thing for his father or
 his mother2 #g3acmaking the word of    
,god of no effect by your tradition     
which you have delivered2 and many such 
things you do4 #g3ad;,and again calling 
all the people1 he said to them1 ,hear  
me1 all of you1 and understand4         
#g3ae,nothing which being out of a man  
entering into him1 can defile him2 but  
those things which proceed from the man1
 these are the things which defile the  
man4  #d #g3ag;,and when he had gone    
from the multitude into the house1 his  
disciples asked him concerning the      
parable4 #g3ah;,and he said to them1    
,are you also so without understanding8 
,do you not understand that nothing     
which enters into a man from without can

 defile him1 #g3ai;because it enters not
 into his heart1 but into the stomach1  
and goes out to the earth1 purifying all
 aliments8  #g3bj ,but he said1 that    
which comes out of the man1 this defiles
 him2 #g3ba;for from within1 from the   
hearts of men1 proceed evil thoughts1   
fornications1 #g3bb thefts1 murders1    
adulteries1 covetousness1 malice1       
deceit1 lewdness1 an evil eye1          
blasphemy1 pride1 foolishness4          
#g3bc;,all these evil things proceed    
from within1 and defile the man4  #e    
#g3bd;,and he rose up1 and departed     
thence to the regions of ,tyre4 ,and    
entering into a house he wished no one  
to know it2 and he could not be hid4    
#g3be;,but immediately1 a woman whose   
little daughter had an impure spirit1   
hearing of him1 came and fell down at   
his feet2 #g3bf;and she was a ,greek1 a 
,syrophenician by race2 and she asked   
him to cast the demon out of her        
daughter4  #g3bg;,and he said to her1   
,suffer the children first to be filled2

 it is not right to take the children's 
bread1 and cast it to the little dogs4  
#g3bh;,and she answered and said to him1
 ,yes1 ,lord2 for even the little dogs  
under the table eat of the children's   
crumbs4 #g3bi;,and he said to her1 ,for 
this speech1 go2 the demon has gone out 
of your daughter4 #g3cj;,and departing  
to her house1 she found the little child
 laid on the bed1 and the demon gone    
out4  #f #g3ca;,and again going out of  
the bounds of ,tyre1 he came through    
,sidon1 to the lake of ,galilee1 in the 
midst of the bounds of ,decapolis4

that stammered1 and besought him to put 
his hand on him4 #g3cc;,and taking him  
from the multitude by himself1 he put   
his fingers in his ears1 and spit1 and  
touched his tongue1 #g3cd;and looking up
 to heaven he groaned1 and said to him1 
,ephphatha1 which is1 ,be opened4       
#g3ce;,and immediately his ears were    
opened1 and the cord of his tongue was  
loosed1 and he spoke correctly4         

#g3cf;,and he charged them to tell no   
one2 but as much as he charged them1 so 
much the more they proclaimed his works4
 #g3cg;,and they were astonished above  
measure1 and said1 ,he has done all

 sit down on the ground2 and taking the 
seven loaves1 and giving thanks1 he     
broke and gave them to his disciples to 
set before them1 and they set them      
before the people4 #h3g;,and they had a 
few small fishes2 and having blessed    
them1 he commanded to present them also4

 they took up of the fragments that     
remained over1 seven store-baskets2

entering immediately into the ship1 with
 his disciples1 he came into the parts  
of ,dalmanutha4 #h3aa;,and the          
,pharisees went out and questioned him1 
seeking of him a sign from heaven1 to   
try him4 #h3ab;,and groaning in his     
spirit1 he said1 ,why does this         
generation seek a sign8 ,i tell you     

truly1 there shall no sign be given to  
this generation4 #h3ac;,and leaving     
them1 he entered again into the ship1   
and went away to the other side4  #c    
#h3ad;,and they forgot to take bread1   
and had but one loaf with them in the   
ship4 #h3ae;,and he charged them1       
saying1 ,observe and beware of the      
leaven of the ,pharisees1 and of the    
leaven of ,herod4 #h3af;,and they       
reasoned with themselves1 because they  
had no bread4 #h3ag;,and ,jesus knowing 
it1 said to them1 ,why do you reason    
because you have no bread8 ,do you not

him to touch him4 #h3bc;,and taking the

out of the village1 and spitting on his

asked him1 ,do you see any thing8

to his house1 saying1 ,go not into the

away1 and his disciples1 to the villages

things of ,god1 but the things of men4  
#f #h3cd;,and calling the multitude1    
with his disciples1 he said to them1    
,whoever wishes to follow after me1 let 
him deny himself1 and take up his cross 
and follow me4 #h3ce;,for whoever wishes
 to save his life1 shall lose it2 and   
whoever shall lose his life for my sake1
 and that of the good news1 shall save  
it4 #h3cf;,for what will it profit a man
 to gain the whole world and lose his   
life8  #h3cg;for what is the exchange   

for his life8 #h3ch;,for whoever is     
ashamed of me and of my words1 in this  
adulterous and sinful generation1 of him
 will the ,son of man also be ashamed1  
when he comes in the glory of his       
,father1 with the holy angels4 #i3a;,and
 he said to them1 ,i tell you truly1    
that there are some of those standing   
here1 who shall not taste death till    
they see the kingdom of ,god having come
 with power4    ,,chapter ,,ix4         
,,christ ,,transfigured1 ,,curing ,a    
,,demoniac1 ,,again ,,predicting ,,his  
,,death1 ,,the ,,principles ,,of ,,his  
,,kingdom4  #a #i3b;,,and after six days
 ,jesus took ,peter1 and ,james1 and    
,john1 and brought them up on a high    
mountain by themselves alone1 and was   
transfigured before them2 #i3c;and his  
garments became shining1 extremely      
white1 so that no fuller on the earth   
could whiten them4 #i3d;,and ,elijah    
appeared to them2 with ,moses1 and they 
conversed with ,jesus4 #i3e;,and ,peter 
answered and said to ,jesus1 ,rabbi1 it 

is good for us to be here2 and we will  
make three tabernacles1 one for you1 and
 one for ,moses1 and one for ,elijah2   
#i3f;for he knew not what he answered1  
for they were afraid4 #i3g;,and a cloud 
overshadowed them1 and a voice came from
 the cloud1 ,this is my beloved ,son2   
hear him4 #i3h;,and looking round       
immediately they no longer saw any one  
but ,jesus alone with them4  #b         
#i3i;,and coming down from the mountain 
he charged them to tell no man what they
 had seen1 till the ,son of man should  
have risen from the dead4 #i3aj;,and    
they kept the word1 inquiring with      
themselves what the rising from the dead
 meant4 #i3aa;,and they asked him1      
saying1 ,why do the scribes say that    
,elijah must first come8 #i3ab;,and he  
said to them1 ,elijah comes first1 and  
restores all things2 as also it is      
written of the ,son of man1 ,that he    
shall suffer many things1 and be set at 
naught2 #i3ac;but ,i tell you1 that     
,elijah has come1 and they have done to 

him what they wished1 as it was written 
of him4  #c #i3ad;,and coming to the    
disciples1 he saw a great multitude     
about them1 and the scribes disputing   
with them4 #i3ae;,and immediately all   
the multitude seeing him1 were highly   
pleased1 and ran forward and saluted    
him4 #i3af;,and he asked1 ,what were you
 disputing about with them8 #i3ag;,and  
one of the multitude answered him1      
,teacher1 ,i have brought my son to you1
 having a dumb spirit2 #i3ah;and        
wherever it takes him it convulses him1 
and he foams and grates his teeth1 and  
becomes emaciated4 ,and ,i spoke to your
 disciples to cast it out1 and they     
could not4  #i3ai;,and he answered and  
said to them1 ,o faithless and perverse 
generation6 ,how long shall ,i be with  
you8 ,how long shall ,i suffer you8     
,bring him to me4 #i3bj;,and they       
brought him to him4 ,and seeing him1 the
 spirit immediately affected him with   
convulsions1 and he fell on the ground1 
and rolled about1 foaming4 #i3ba;,and he

 asked his father1 ,how long a time is  
it since this came upon him8 ,and he    
said1 ,from a little child2 #i3bb;and it
 often casts him into fire1 and into    
waters1 to destroy him2 but if you are  
able1 help us1 and have mercy on us4    
#i3bc;,and ,jesus said to him1 ,if you  
are able8 all things are possible to him
 that believes4  #i3bd;,and the father  
of the little child immediately crying  
out1 said1 ,i believe2 help my unbelief4
  #d #i3be;,and ,jesus seeing that a    
multitude ran together1 rebuked the     
impure spirit1 saying to him1 ,deaf and 
dumb spirit1 ,i command you1 come out of
 him1 and enter into him no more4       
#i3bf;,and crying out and affecting him 
with many convulsions1 he went out4     
,and he was like a dead person1 so that 
many said1 ,he is dead4  #i3bg;,but     
,jesus took him by the hand and raised  
him up1 and he stood up4 #i3bh;,and when
 he went into the house1 his disciples  
asked him privately1 ,why could we not  
cast it out8 #i3bi;,and he said to them1

 ,this kind can go out by nothing but   
prayer4  #e #i3cj;,and departing thence1
 he passed through ,galilee1 and desired
 that no one should know him1 #i3ca;for 
he taught his disciples1 and said to    
them1 ,the ,son of man is delivered into
 the hands of men1 and they shall kill  
him4 ,and when he is killed1 on the     
third day he shall rise again4          
#i3cb;,and they understood not the word1
 and were afraid to ask him4  #f        
#i3cc;,and he came to ,capernaum2 and   
when he was in the house1 he asked them1
 ,what did you dispute about on the way8
 #i3cd;,and they were silent2 for they  
had disputed with each other on the way 
as to who was the greatest4 #i3ce;,and  
he sat down and called the twelve1 and  
said to them1 ,if any one wishes to be  
first1 he shall be last of all1 and a   
servant of all4 #i3cf;,and taking a     
little child1 he put it in the midst of 
them1 and taking it in his arms1 said to
 them1 #i3cg ,whoever receives one such 
little child in my name1 receives me1   

and whoever receives me1 receives not   
me1 but him that sent me4 #i3ch;,and    
,john spoke to him1 saying1 ,teacher1 we
 saw some one casting out demons in your
 name1 who follows not us1 and we       
forbade him4 #i3ci;,and ,jesus said1    
,forbid him not2 for no one will perform
 a mighty work in my name1 and be able  
lightly to speak evil of me4 #i3dj;,for 
whoever is not against us is for us2    
#i3da;and whoever gives you a cup of    
water because you are ,christ's1 truly  
he shall not lose his reward4  #g       
#i3db;,and whoever shall offend one of  
the little ones having faith1 it would  
be better for him if a millstone was put
 about his neck and he was cast into the
 sea4 #i3dc;,and if your hand offends   
you1 cut it off2 it is better for you to
 enter into life crippled1 than having  
two hands to go away into hell1 into the
 inextinguishable fire4 #i3de;,and if   
your foot offends you1 cut it off3 it is
 better for you to enter into life lame1
 than having two feet to be cast into   

hell4 #i3dg;,and if your eye offends    
you1 pluck it out2 it is better for you 
to enter into the kingdom of ,god with  
one eye1 than having two eyes to be cast
 into hell1 #i3dhwhere the worm dies not
 and the fire is not extinguished4      
#i3di ,for every man shall be salted    
with fire1 and every sacrifice shall be 
salted with salt4 #i3ej,salt is good2   
but if the salt has become insipid1 with
 what will you season it8 ,have salt in 
yourselves1 and be at peace one with    
another4    ,,chapter ,x4  ,,christ',s  
,,doctrine ,,of ,,marriage1 ,,children  
,,and ,,the ,,way ,,of ,,salvation1     
,,his ,,death ,,predicted1 ,,and ,,sight
 ,,restored ,,to ,,bartimeus4  #a       
#aj3a;,,and he arose and went thence    
into the bounds of ,judea1 and beyond   
the ,jordan2 and again multitudes came  
together to him1 and again he taught    
them as he was accustomed4 #aj3b;,and   
the ,pharisees came and asked him1 to   
try him1 ,is it lawful for a man to put 
away his wife8 #aj3c;,and he answered   

and said to them1 ,what did ,moses      
command you8 #aj3d;,and they said1      
,moses permitted us to write a bill of  
divorcement and put her away4 #aj3e;,and
 ,jesus said to them1 ,because of your  
hardness of heart1 he wrote you this    
ordinance2 #aj3f;but from the beginning 
of creation1 he made them male and      
female4 #aj3g;,for this cause shall a   
man leave his father and mother1 and the
 two shall be one flesh2 #aj3h so that  
they are no longer two1 but one flesh4  
#aj3i,what ,god therefore has yoked     
together1 let not man separate4  #b     
#aj3aj;,and his disciples asked him     
again1 in the house1 concerning this4   
#aj3aa;,and he said to them1 ,whoever   
puts away his wife and marries another1 
commits adultery with her2 #aj3ab;and if
 a woman puts away her husband and      
marries another1 she commits adultery4  
#c #aj3ac;,and they brought him little  
children that he should touch them2 and 
the disciples rebuked those who brought 
them4  #aj3ad;,but ,jesus seeing it1 was

 displeased1 and said to them1 ,suffer  
the little children to come to me1 and  
forbid them not2 for of such is the     
kingdom of ,god4 #aj3ae;,i tell you     
truly1 that whoever does not receive the
 kingdom of ,god as a little child1     
shall not enter into it4 #aj3af;,and he 
took them in his arms1 and laid his     
hands on them1 and blessed them4  #d    
#aj3ag;,and as he was going on the way1 
one ran before and kneeled down to him1 
and asked him1 ,good teacher1 what shall
 ,i do to inherit eternal life8         
#aj3ah;,and ,jesus said to him1 ,why do 
you call me good8 none is good but one1 
,god4 #aj3ai,you know the commandments2 
,you shall not commit adultery1 ,you    
shall not kill1 ,you shall not steal1   
,you shall not testify falsely1 ,you    
shall not defraud1 ,honor your father   
and mother4 #aj3bj;,and he answered and 
said to him1 ,teacher1 all these have ,i
 kept from my youth4  #aj3ba;,and ,jesus
 looking at him1 loved him1 and said to 
him1 ,one thing you lack2 go and sell   

what you have1 and give to the poor1 and
 you shall have a treasure in heaven2   
and come and take up your cross and     
follow me4 #aj3bb;,and he was grieved at
 this saying1 and went away sad1 for he 
had great possessions4  #e #aj3bc;,and  
,jesus looking around said to his       
disciples1 ,with what difficulty shall  
those having riches enter into the      
kingdom of ,god6 #aj3bd;,and the        
disciples were astonished at his words4 
,but ,jesus answered again and said to  
them1 ,children1 with what difficulty   
shall those who trust in riches enter   
into the kingdom of ,god6 #aj3be;,it is 
easier for a camel to pass through the  
eye of the needle1 than for a rich man  
to enter into the kingdom of ,god4      
#aj3bf;,and they were greatly           
astonished1 and said to themselves1 ,who
 then can be saved8 #aj3bg;,jesus       
looking on them1 said1 ,with men it is  
impossible1 but not with ,god2 for with 
,god all things are possible4  #f       
#aj3bh,peter said to him1 ,behold we    

have left all things and followed you4  
#aj3bi;,jesus said1 ,i tell you truly1  
there is no one who has left a house1 or
 brothers1 or sisters1 or a mother1 or  
father1 or children1 or lands1 for my   
sake1 and for the sake of the good news1
 #aj3cjwho shall not receive a hundred  
fold now at this present time1 houses1  
and brethren1 and sisters1 and mothers1 
and children1 and lands1 with           
persecutions1 and in the life to come   
eternal life4 #aj3ca;,but many first    
shall be last1 and the last first4  #g  
#aj3cb;,and they were on the way going  
up to ,jerusalem1 and ,jesus went before
 them2 and they were amazed1 and afraid1
 as they followed him4 ,and again taking
 the twelve aside1 he told them the     
things that were about to befall him2   
#aj3cc ,behold1 we go up to ,jerusalem1 
and the ,son of man will be delivered up
 to the chief priests and scribes1 and  
they will condemn him to death1 and     
deliver him to the gentiles1 #aj3cd;and 
they will mock him1 and spit on him1 and

 scourge him1 and kill him1 and after   
three days he shall rise again4  #h     
#aj3ce;,and ,james and ,john1 sons of   
,zebedee1 came to him1 saying1 ,teacher1
 we wish you to do for us what we will  
ask of you4 #aj3cf;,and he said to them1
 ,what do you wish me to do for you8    
#aj3cg;,and they said to him1 ,grant us 
that we may sit one on your right hand1 
and the other on your left1 in your     
glory4  #aj3ch ,and ,jesus said to them1
 ,you know not what you ask4 ,can you   
drink of the cup of which ,i drink8 or  
be baptized with the baptism with which 
,i am baptized8 #aj3ci ,and they said to
 him1 ,we can4 ,and ,jesus said to them1
 ,you shall drink of the cup of which ,i
 drink1 and be baptized with the baptism
 with which ,i am baptized2 #aj3dj;but  
to sit on my right hand1 or left1 is not
 mine to give but to those for whom it  
is prepared4  #i #aj3da;,and the ten1   
hearing this1 were displeased with      
,james and ,john4 #aj3db;,and ,jesus    
called them and said to them1 ,you know 

that those who desire to rule the       
gentiles exercise lordship over them1   
and their great men exercise authority  
over them2 #aj3dc;but it shall not be so
 with you4 ,but whoever wishes to be    
great among you1 let him be your        
minister2 #aj3dd;and whoever wishes to  
be first of you1 let him be a servant of
 all4  #aj3de;,for the ,son of man also 
came not to be served1 but to serve and 
to give his life a ransom for many4  #aj
 #aj3df;,and they came to ,jericho4 ,and
 as he went from ,jericho1 and his      
disciples and a great multitude1 the son
 of ,timeus1 ,bartimeus1 a blind beggar1
 sat by the way4 #aj3dg;,and hearing    
that ,jesus was the ,nazarene1 he cried1
 saying1 ,jesus1 ,son of ,david1 have   
mercy on me4 #aj3dh;,and many charged   
him to be still4  ,but he cried much    
more1 ,son of ,david1 have mercy on me4 
#aj3di;,and ,jesus stopping1 said1 ,call
 him4 ,and they called the blind man1   
saying to him1 ,be of good courage2     
arise1 he calls you4 #aj3ej;,and he cast

 aside his garment1 and leaping up went 
to ,jesus4 #aj3ea;,and ,jesus answered  
him and said1 ,what do you wish me to do
 for you8 ,and the blind man said to    
him1 ,rabboni1 that ,i may receive my   
sight4 #aj3eb;,and ,jesus said to him1  
,go2 your faith has cured you4 ,and he  
immediately received sight1 and followed
 him in the way4    ,,chapter ,,xi4     
,,christ ,,entering ,,jerusalem ,,in    
,,triumph1 ,,cursing ,,the ,,barren

,,pharisees4  #a #aa3a;,,and when they  
came near to ,jerusalem1 at ,bethphage  
and ,bethany1 at the ,mount of ,olives1 
he sent two of his disciples1 #aa3b;and 
said to them1 ,go into the village      
opposite to you1 and as you enter it you
 will immediately find a colt tied1 on  
which no man ever sat2 untie him and    
bring him4 #aa3c;,and if any one says to
 you1 ,why do you do this8 say1 ,the    
,lord has need of him1 and he will      

immediately send him4 #aa3d;,and they   
went and found a colt tied at the door  
without1 at the crossing of the streets1
 and they untied him4 #aa3e;,and some of
 those standing there said to them1 ,why
 do you untie the colt8 #aa3f;,and they 
said as ,jesus directed1 and they let   
them go4  #b #aa3g;,and they brought the
 colt to ,jesus1 and put on it their    
clothes1 and he sat on it4 #aa3h;,and   
many spread their clothes in the way2   
and others cutting branches from the    
trees spread them in the way2 #aa3i;and 
those who went before1 and those who    
followed1 cried1 ,hosanna6 ,blessed is  
he that comes in the name of the ,lord6 
#aa3aj;,blessed is the kingdom of our   
father ,david1 which is coming6 ,hosanna
 in the highest heavens6 #aa3aa;,and    
,jesus went into ,jerusalem1 and into   
the temple1 and looking round on all    
things when it was now evening he went  
out to ,bethany with the twelve4  #c    
#aa3ab;,and on the next day as they     
returned from ,bethany he was hungry2   

#aa3ac;and seeing a fig tree at a       
distance having leaves1 he went to see  
if he could find any thing on it4 ,and  
having come to it1 he found nothing     
except leaves1 for it was not time for  
figs4 #aa3ad;,and he spoke and said to  
it1 ,let no one eat fruit of you        
forever6 ,and his disciples heard him4  
#d #aa3ae;,and they came to ,jerusalem1 
and going into the temple he cast out   
those that sold and bought in the       
temple1 and overthrew the tables of the 
brokers1 and the seats of those that    
sold doves1 #aa3af;and permitted no one 
to carry a vessel through the temple4   
#aa3ag;,and he taught them1 saying1 ,it 
is written1 my house shall be called a  
house of prayer for all nations2 but you
 have made it a den of robbers4         
#aa3ah;,and the scribes and chief       
priests came and sought how they might  
destroy him1 for they feared him1       
because all the people were astonished  
at his teaching4 #aa3ai;,and when it was
 evening he went out of the city4  #e   

#aa3bj;,and passing along in the        
morning1 they saw the fig tree dried up 
from the roots4 #aa3ba;,and ,peter      
remembering1 said to him1 ,rabbi1 behold
 the fig tree which you cursed is dried 
up4  #aa3bb;,and ,jesus answered and    
said to them1 ,have faith in ,god2      
#aa3bc;,i tell you truly1 that whoever  
shall say to this mountain1 be raised up
 and be cast into the sea1 and shall not
 doubt in his heart1 but shall believe  
that what he says will be done1 whatever
 he says shall be done for him4         
#aa3bd,therefore ,i tell you1 all things
 whatever which you ask in prayer1      
believe that you shall receive them1 and
 you shall have them4 #aa3be ,and when  
you stand praying1 forgive if you have  
any thing against any1 that your ,father
 in heaven may also forgive your        
offenses4  #f #aa3bg;,and they came     
again to ,jerusalem2 and as he was      
walking in the temple1 the chief        
priests1 and scribes1 and elders came to
 him1 #aa3bh;and said to him1 ,by what  

authority do you do these things8 or who
 gave you this authority to do them8    
#aa3bi;,and ,jesus said to them1 ,i will
 ask you one question2 answer me1 and ,i
 will tell you by what authority ,i do  
these things4 #aa3cj,the baptism of     
,john2 was it from heaven1 or of men8   
answer me4  #aa3ca;,and they reasoned   
with themselves1 saying1 ,if we say from
 heaven1 he will say1 ,why did you not  
believe him8 #aa3cb;,but if we say from 
men1 they feared the people1 for all    
considered ,john as a prophet indeed4   
#aa3cc;,and they answered and said to   
,jesus1 ,we do not know4 ,and ,jesus    
said to them1 ,neither do ,i tell you by
 what authority ,i do these things4  #g 
#ab3a;,and he said to them1 in parables1
 ,a man planted a vineyard and made a   
hedge about it1 and dug a wine-vat1 and 
built a tower1 and let it out to        
husbandmen1 and went abroad4 #ab3b;,and 
he sent a servant to the husbandmen at  
the time to receive from the husbandmen 
of the fruits of the vineyard2 #ab3c and

 they took him1 and beat him1 and sent  
him away empty4 #ab3d;,and again he sent
 another servant to them1 and they      
wounded him on the head1 and treated him
 shamefully4 #ab3e;,and he sent another1
 and they killed him2 and many others1  
and they beat some1 and killed some4    
#ab3f;,having yet one beloved son1 he   
sent him last to them1 saying1 ,they    
will reverence my son4  #h #ab3g;,but   
those husbandmen said among themselves1 
,this is the heir2 come1 let us kill    
him1 and the inheritance will be ours4  
#ab3h;,and seizing him1 they killed him1
 and cast him out of the vineyard4      
#ab3i,what will the lord of the vineyard
 do8 ,he will come and destroy those    
husbandmen1 and let the vineyard to     
others4 #ab3aj;,have you not read this  
,scripture1 ,the stone which the        
builders rejected1 has become the head  
of a corner2 #ab3aathis is from the     
,lord1 and it is wonderful in our eyes8 
#ab3ab;,and they sought to take him1 and
 feared the multitude1 for they knew    

that he spoke this parable against them4
 ,and they left him1 and went away4  #i 
#ab3ac;,and they sent to him some of the
 ,pharisees and ,herodians to ensnare   
him in his words4 #ab3ad;,and they came 
and said to him1 ,teacher1 we know that 
you are true1 and care for no one1 for  
you respect not the face of men1 but    
teach the way of ,god in truth4 ,is it  
lawful to pay tribute to ,caesar or not8
 #ab3ae,shall we pay8 or shall we not   
pay8 ,but he knowing their hypocrisy1   
said to them1 ,why do you try me8 ,bring
 me a denarius #ad cents1 that ,i may   
see it4 #ab3af;,and they brought him    
one4 ,and he said to them1 ,whose is    
this figure1 and the inscription8 ,and  
they said to him1 ,caesar's4 #ab3ag;,and
 ,jesus said1 ,render ,caesar's dues to 
,caesar1 and ,god's to ,god4 ,and they  
wondered at him4  #aj #ab3ah;,and the   
,sadducees came to him1 who say there is
 no resurrection1 and asked him1 saying1
 #ab3ai,teacher1 ,moses wrote to us1    
that if one's brother dies and leaves a 

wife1 and leaves no child1 his brother  
shall take his wife and raise up        
children for his brother4 #ab3bj,there  
were seven brothers2 and the first took 
a wife and died1 and left no child2     
#ab3ba;and the second took her1 and died
 leaving no child2 and the third in like
 manner4 #ab3bb;,and the seven left no  
child4 ,last of all1 the woman died     
also4 #ab3bc;,in the resurrection1 when 
they rise1 whose wife shall she be8 for 
the seven had her as a wife4            
#ab3bd;,jesus said to them1 ,do you not 
err on this account1 not knowing the    
,scriptures1 nor the power of ,god8     
#ab3be;,for when they rise from the     
dead1 they neither marry nor are        
married1 but are like angels in heaven4 
#ab3bf;,but concerning the dead1 that   
they rise1 have you not read in the book
 of ,moses1 how ,god spoke to him at the
 bush1 saying1 ,i am the ,god of

the ,god of ,jacob8 #ab3bg;,he is not a 
,god of the dead1 but of the living2 you

 greatly err4  #aa #ab3bh;,and one of   
the scribes coming forward hearing them 
disputing1 knowing that he answered them
 well1 asked him1 ,what commandment is  
first of all8 #ab3bi ,jesus answered1   
,first is1 ,hear ,israel1 the ,lord our 
,god is one ,lord2 #ab3cj;and you shall 
love the ,lord your ,god with all your  
heart1 and with all your soul1 and with 
all your strength4 #ab3ca,second is     
this1 ,you shall love your neighbor as  
yourself4 ,there is no other commandment
 greater than these4 #ab3cb;,and the    
scribe said to him1 ,well1 teacher1 you 
have said truly2 there is one ,god1 and 
no other but him2 #ab3cc;and to love him
 with all the heart1 and all the        
understanding1 and all the strength1 and
 to love one's neighbor as himself1 is  
more than all burnt offerings and       
sacrifices4 #ab3cd;,and ,jesus seeing   
him1 that he answered understandingly1  
said to him1 ,you are not far from the  
kingdom of ,god2 and no one dared to    
question him more4  #ab #ab3ce;,and     

,jesus answered and said1 teaching in   
the temple1 ,how do the scribes say that
 the ,christ is the ,son of ,david8     
#ab3cf;,david himself said1 by the ,holy
 ,spirit1 ,the ,lord said to my ,lord1  
,sit on my right hand1 till ,i make your
 enemies your footstool4 #ab3cg;,david  
himself calls him ,lord1 and whence is  
he his son8 ,and the great multitude    
heard him gladly4  #ac #ab3ch;,and he   
said to them in his teaching1 ,beware of
 the scribes who desire to walk in long 
robes1 and desire salutations in the    
markets1 #ab3ci;and the first seats in  
the synagogues1 and the first places at 
feasts2 #ab3djwho devour widows' houses1
 and for a pretence make long prayers4  
,they shall receive a greater judgment4 
#ad #ab3da;,and sitting opposite to the 
treasury1 he observed how the multitude 
cast copper into the treasury4 ,and many
 rich men cast in much2 #ab3db;and one  
poor widow came and cast in two lepta1  
which is a quadrans #d mills4 #ab3dc    
,and calling his disciples1 he said to  

them1 ,i tell you truly1 that this poor 
widow has cast in more than all who have
 cast into the treasury4  #ab3dd;,for   
all others have cast in of their        
abundance2 but she of her want has cast 
in all that she had her entire living4  
,,chapter ,,xii4  ,,christ ,,predicting 
,,the ,,destruction ,,of ,,jerusalem1

,,commonwealth4  #a #ac3a;,,and as he   
went out of the temple1 one of his      
disciples said to him1 ,teacher1 see    
what stones1 and what buildings6        
#ac3b;,and ,jesus said to him1 ,do you  
see these great buildings8  ,there shall
 not be left a stone upon a stone1 which
 shall not be thrown down4 #ac3c;,and as
 he sat on the mount of ,olives1        
opposite to the temple1 ,peter1 and     
,james1 and ,john1 and ,andrew1 asked   
him privately1 #ac3d,tell us when shall 
these things be8 ,and what shall be the 
sign when all these things are about to 
be accomplished8 #ac3e;,and ,jesus said 
to them1 ,see that no man deceives you2 

#ac3f;for many shall come in my name1   
saying1 ,i am the ,christ1 and shall    
deceive many4 #ac3g;,and when you hear  
of wars and rumors of wars1 be not      
afraid1 for these things must be2 but   
the end is not yet4 #ac3h;,for nation   
shall rise against nation1 and kingdom  
against kingdom1 and there shall be     
earthquakes in different places1 and    
there shall be famines4  ,these are the 
beginnings of sorrows4  #b #ac3i;,but   
take heed to yourselves2 they shall     
deliver you up to ,sanhedrims1 and you  
shall be beaten in synagogues1 and shall
 be brought before governors and kings  
for my sake1 for a testimony to them4   
#ac3aj;,and the good news must first be 
preached to all nations4 #ac3aa;,and    
when they deliver you to afflictions1 be
 not anxious beforehand what you shall  
say2 but whatever is given you in that  
hour1 this speak2 for it is not you that
 speak1 but the ,holy ,spirit4          
#ac3ab;,and brother shall deliver       
brother to death1 and father1 son2 and  

children shall rise up against their    
parents and kill them2 #ac3ac;and you   
shall be hated by all on my account2 but
 he that endures to the end shall be    
saved4  #c #ac3ad;,and when you see the 
abomination of desolation standing where
 it ought not1 let him that reads       
understand1 then let those in ,judea    
flee to the mountains2 #ac3ae;and let   
not him that is on the house go down    
into the house1 nor enter to take any   
thing out of his house2 #ac3af;and let  
not him that is in the field turn back  
to take his garment4 #ac3ag;,and woe to 
those with child1 and those giving nurse
 in those days6 #ac3ah;,but pray that it
 may not be in the winter1 #ac3ai;for   
those days shall be an affliction1 such 
as has not been from the beginning of   
the creation that ,god created till now1

the ,lord had shortened those days no   
flesh would be saved2 but for the       
elects' sake1 whom he has chosen1 he has
 shortened the days4  #d #ac3ba;,and    

then if any one says to you1 ,behold the

 it not4 #ac3bb;,for false prophets     
shall arise1 and perform miracles and   
wonders1 to deceive1 if possible1 the   
elect4 #ac3bc;,but beware2 ,i have      
foretold you all things4  #e #ac3bd;,but
 in those days1 after that affliction1  
the sun shall be darkened1 and the moon 
shall not give her light1 #ac3be;and the
 stars shall fall from heaven1 and the

power and glory4 #ac3bg ,and then shall 
he send his angels and gather together

by deception1 and kill him4 #ad3b;,but  
they said1 ,not at the feast1 lest there
 be a tumult of the people4 #ad3c;,and  
when he was at ,bethany1 and was

ointment of genuine nard1 extremely     
costly1 and breaking the vase she poured
 it out on his head4  #b #ad3d;,and some
 were displeased1 and said to           
themselves1 ,why was this waste of the  
ointment8 #ad3e;,for this ointment could
 have been sold for more than three     
hundred denarii #db and given to the    
poor2 and they blamed her4 #ad3f ,but   
,jesus said1 ,let her alone2 why do you 
trouble her8 ,she has performed a good  
work on me4 #ad3g,the poor you have     
always with you1 and you can do them    
good when you will2 but me you have not 
always4 #ad3h,she has done what she     
could4 ,she anticipated anointing my

truly1 that wherever this good news     

shall be preached in all the world1 this
 also which she has done shall be told  
for a memorial of her4  #c #ad3aj;,and  
,judas ,iscariot1 one of the twelve1    
went to the chief priests to betray him 
to them4 #ad3aa;,and when they heard him
 they were glad1 and promised to give   
him money4 ,and he sought how he might  
betray him at a convenient time4  #d    
#ad3ab;,and on the first day of         
unleavened bread1 when they killed the  
passover1 his disciples said to him1    
,where do you wish us to go and prepare 
to eat the passover8 #ad3ac;,and he sent
 two of his disciples1 and said to them1
 ,go into the city1 and a man shall meet
 you bearing an earthen pitcher of      
water4 ,follow him1 #ad3ad;and where he 
enters in1 say to the master of the     
house1 ,the teacher says1 where is the  
public room in which ,i may eat the     
passover with my disciples8 #ad3ae;,and 
he will show you a large upper room1    
furnished1 ready2 and there prepare for 
us4  #ad3af;,and his disciples went out1

 and came into the city1 and found as he
 had said to them1 and prepared the     
passover4  #e #ad3ag;,and when it was   
evening he came1 with the twelve1       
#ad3ah;,and as they reclined1 and were  
eating1 ,jesus said1 ,i tell you truly1 
that one of you who eats with me will   
betray me4  #ad3ai;,and they were sorry1
 and said to him1 one by one1 ,is it ,i8
  ,and another1 ,is it ,i8 #ad3bj;,and  
he said to them1 ,it is one of the      
twelve who dips with me in the dish4    
#ad3ba,the ,son of man goes indeed as it
 is written of him1 but woe to that man 
by whom the ,son of man is betrayed6 ,it
 would be good for him if that man had  
not been born4  #f #ad3bb;,and as they  
eat he took the bread1 and having       
blessed1 broke and1 gave to them1 and   
said1 ,take1 this is my body4           
#ad3bc;,and he took the cup1 and having 
given thanks gave them1 and they all    
drank of it4 #ad3bd;,and he said to     
them1 ,this is my blood of the covenant1
 which is poured out for many4 #ad3be;,i

 tell you truly1 that ,i will drink of  
the product of the vine no more till    
that day when ,i drink it new in the

sung a hymn they went out to the ,mount

to him1 ,even if all should be offended1
 yet ,i will not4 #ad3cj;,and ,jesus    
said to him1 ,i tell you truly1 that    
to-day1 on this night1 before the cock  
crows twice1 you will deny me thrice4   
#ad3ca;,and he said1 more strongly1 ,if 
it should be necessary for me to die    
with you ,i will by no means deny you2  
and they all said the same4  #b         
#ad3cb;,and they came to a place which  
was called ,gethsemane2 and he said to  

his disciples1 ,sit here1 till ,i pray4 
#ad3cc;,and he took ,peter1 and ,james1 
and ,john with him1 and began to be     
amazed and dejected4 #ad3cd;,and he said
 to them1 ,my soul is extremely         
sorrowful1 even to death2 remain here   
and watch4  #ad3ce ,and going forward a 
little he fell on the ground1 and prayed
 that1 if it was possible1 the hour     
might pass away from him4 #ad3cf;,and he
 said1 ,abba1 father1 all things are    
possible to thee4 ,take away this cup   
from me2 but not what ,i will but what  
thou wilt4 #ad3cg;,and he came and found
 them sleeping1 and said to ,peter1     
,simon1 do you sleep8 ,could you not    
watch one hour8  #ad3ch,watch and pray  
that you enter not into trial2 the      
spirit indeed is willing1 but flesh is  
weak4 #ad3ci;,and again going away he   
prayed1 saying the same words4          
#ad3dj;,and again coming he found them  
sleeping2 for their eyes were heavy2 and
 they knew not what to answer him4      
#ad3da;,and he came a third time1 and   

said to them1 ,sleep henceforth1 and be 
refreshed4 ,it is enough2 the hour has  
come4 ,behold1 the ,son of man is       
betrayed into the hands of sinners6     
#ad3db;arise1 let us go2 behold1 he that
 betrays me is at hand6  #c #ad3dc;,and 
immediately1 while he was yet speaking1 
,judas the ,iscariot1 one of the twelve1
 came1 and with him a great multitude1  
with swords and clubs1 from the chief   
priests1 and scribes1 and elders4       
#ad3dd;,and the traitor had given them  
this signal1 saying1 ,whom ,i shall     
kiss1 he is the one2 take him1 and lead 
him away safely4 #ad3de;,and coming1 he 
immediately approached him1 and said1   
,rabbi6 ,rabbi6 and kissed him4         
#ad3df;,and they laid hands on him and  
took him4  #d #ad3dg;,and one of those  
who stood by drew a sword and struck the
 servant of the chief priest1 and cut   
off his car4 #ad3dh;,and ,jesus answered
 and said to them1 ,have you come out as
 against a robber1 with swords and clubs
 to apprehend me8 #ad3di;,i was daily   

with you in the temple teaching1 and you
 did not take me4 ,but it was done that 
the ,scriptures might be fulfilled4     
#ad3ej;,and all forsook him and fled4   
#ad3ea;,and one young man followed him  
with a linen cloth wrapped about his    
naked body4 ,and the young men caught   
him2 #ad3eb;and leaving the linen cloth 
he escaped from them naked4    ,,chapter

priests1 and elders1 and scribes came   
together to him4  #ad3ed;,and ,peter    
followed him at a distance1 till he came
 into the court of the chief priest2 and
 he sat with the officers and warmed    
himself before the light4 #ad3ee;,and   
the chief priests and all the ,sanhedrim
 sought testimony against ,jesus to kill
 him1 and did not find it4 #ad3ef;,for  
many testified falsely against him1 but 
their testimony did not agree2          
#ad3eg;and some arose and testified     

falsely against him1 saying1 #ad3eh,we  
heard him say1 ,i will destroy this     
temple made with hands1 and in three    
days will build another made without    
hands4 #ad3ei;,and neither in this did  
their testimony agree4 #ad3fj;,and the  
chief priest standing up in the midst   
asked ,jesus1 saying1 ,do you not answer
 any thing to what these testify against
 you8 #ad3fa;,and he was silent1 and    
answered nothing4  #b ,again the chief  
priest asked him1 and said to him1 ,are 
you the ,christ1 the ,son of the        
,blessed8 #ad3fb;,and ,jesus said1 ,i   
am2 and you shall see the ,son of man   
sitting on the right hand of the power1 
and coming with the clouds of heaven4   
#ad3fc;,and the high priest rent his    
clothes1 and said1 ,what further need   
have we of witnesses8 #ad3fd,you have   
heard the blasphemy2 what do you think8 
,and they all condemned him to be       
deserving of death4  #ad3fe;,and some   
spit on him2 and they blindfolded him1  
and beat him with the fist1 and said to 

him1 ,prophesy4 ,and the officers beat  
him with open hands4  #c #ad3ff;,and    
,peter being in the court below1 one of 
the female servants of the chief priest 
came1 #ad3fg;and seeing ,peter warming  
himself1 looked at him1 and said1 ,you  
also were with ,jesus the ,nazarene4    
#ad3fh;,but he denied it1 saying1 ,i do 
not know him2 neither do ,i know what   
you say4 ,and he went out into the      
porch1 and a cock crew4 #ad3fi;,and the 
female servant seeing him said to those 
standing by1 ,this is one of them4      
#ad3gj;,but he again denied it4 ,and    
after a short time those standing by    
again said to ,peter1 ,you are certainly
 one of them1 for you are also a        
,galilean4 #ad3ga;,and he cursed and    
swore1 ,i know not this man of whom you 
speak4 #ad3gb;,and a cock crew a second 
time4 ,and ,peter was reminded of the   
word1 how ,jesus said to him1 ,before a 
cock crows twice1 you will deny me      
thrice4 ,and he wept bitterly4  #d      
#ae3a;,and immediately in the morning1  

the chief priests taking counsel with   
the elders1 and scribes1 and all the    
,sanhedrim1 bound ,jesus1 and brought   
and delivered him to ,pilate4 #ae3b;,and
 ,pilate asked him1 ,are you the king of
 the ,jews8 ,and ,jesus answered and    
said to him1 ,as you say4 #ae3c;,and the
 chief priests accused him of many      
things4 #ae3d;,and ,pilate again asked  
him saying1 ,do you answer nothing8 see 
how many things they charge against you4
 #ae3e;,and ,jesus answered him not any 
more2 so that ,pilate wondered4  #e     
#ae3f;,and at the feast he released to  
them a prisoner1 whomsoever they chose4 
#ae3g;,and there was a man called       
,barabbas1 bound with the insurgents1   
who had committed murder in a sedition4 
#ae3h;,and the multitude went up and    
requested as he had always done to them4
 #ae3i;,and ,pilate answered them1      
saying1 ,do you wish me to release to   
you the king of the ,jews8 #ae3aj;,for  
he knew that the chief priests had      
delivered him up from envy4  #ae3aa;,but

 the chief priests moved the people that
 he should rather release ,barabbas to  
them4  #f #ae3ab;,and ,pilate again     
answered and said to them1 ,what1 then1 
do you wish me to do to him whom you    
call the king of the ,jews8  #ae3ac;,and
 they cried again1 ,crucify him6

for what evil has he done8 ,but they    
cried more violently1 ,crucify him6     
#ae3ae;,and ,pilate wishing to satisfy  
the multitude released to them          
,barabbas2 and having scourged ,jesus   
delivered him up to be crucified4       
,,chapter ,,xvi4  ,,christ ,,crucified1 
,,his ,,death1 ,,burial ,,and           
,,resurrection4  #a #ae3af;,,and the    
soldiers led him away into the court    
which is the ,praetorium1 and called    
together all the cohort4 #ae3ag;,and    
they put on him a purple garment1 and   
plaiting a thorny crown put it on him4  
#ae3ah;,and they saluted him1 ,hail1    
king of the ,jews6  #ae3ai;,and they    
struck his head with a reed1 and beat   

him1 and kneeling down worshipped him4  
#ae3bj;,and when they had mocked him    
they took off the purple garment1 and   
put on him his own clothes1 and they led
 him away to crucify him1 #ae3ba;and    
compelled one ,simon1 a ,cyrenian1 who  
was passing along1 coming from the      
country1 the father of ,alexander and   
,rufus1 to bear his cross4  #b

,golgotha1 which is interpreted ,a place
 of a cranium1 #ae3bc;and gave him wine 
mingled with myrrh2 but he did not take 
it4 #ae3bd;,and they crucified him1 and 
divided his clothes1 casting lots for   
them which should take any thing4       
#ae3be;,and it was the third hour when  
they crucified him1 #ae3bf;and the      
inscription of his accusation was       
written1 ,,the ,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4
  #c #ae3bg;,and they crucified with him
 two robbers1 one on his right hand and 
the other on his left4 #ae3bi;,and those
 who passed by reviled him1 wagging     
their heads1 and saying1 ,aha1 you that 

destroy the temple and build it in three
 days6 #ae3cjsave yourself1 and come    
down from the cross4 #ae3ca;,in like    
manner also the chief priests mocking   
him1 with the scribes1 said one to      
another1 ,he saved others2 himself he   
cannot save2 #ae3cblet the ,christ1 the 
,king of ,israel1 come down now from the
 cross1 that we may see and believe4    
,and those crucified with him reproached
 him4  #d #ae3cc;,and when it was the   
sixth hour1 there was darkness over all 
the earth till the ninth hour4          
#ae3cd;,and at the ninth hour ,jesus    
cried with a loud voice1 saying1 ,eloi6 
,eloi6 lama sabachthani8 which is       
interpreted1 my ,god6 my ,god6 why hast 
thou forsaken me8 #ae3ce;,and some of   
those standing by1 hearing him1 said1   
,see1 he calls ,elijah4 #ae3cf;,and one 
ran1 and filled a sponge with vinegar1  
and putting it on a reed gave it to him 
to drink1 saying1 ,let him alone2 let us
 see if ,elijah will come to take him   
down4  #e #ae3cg;,and ,jesus crying with

 a loud voice1 expired4 #ae3ch;,and the 
vail of the temple was rent in two1 from
 top to bottom2 #ae3ci;and the centurion
 who stood near1 opposite to him1 seeing
 that he so expired1 said1 ,truly1 this 
man was a ,son of ,god4  #f #ae3dj;,and 
the women also saw from afar1 among whom
 were ,mary the ,magdalene and ,mary the
 mother of ,james the less1 and of      
,joset1 and ,salome1 #ae3dawho also     
followed him when he was in ,galilee1   
and waited on him1 and many others who  
had come up with him to ,jerusalem4  #g 
#ae3db;,and when it was now evening1    
because it was the preparation1 which is
 before the sabbath1 #ae3dc;,joseph     
came1 who was from ,arimathea1 an       
honorable counsellor1 who also himself  
expected the kingdom of ,god1 and went  
in boldly to ,pilate and asked for the  
body of ,jesus4 #ae3dd;,and ,pilate     
wondered that he was already dead2 and  
calling the centurion asked him if he   
had been dead for some time4 #ae3de;,and
 knowing his death1 from the centurion1 

he gave the body to ,joseph4 #ae3df;,and
 having bought linen1 he took him down  
and wrapped him in the linen1 and placed
 him in a tomb which was cut from a     
rock1 and rolled a stone against the    
door of the tomb4 #ae3dg;,and ,mary the 
,magdalene and ,mary the mother of      
,joset saw where he was laid4  #h       
#af3a;,and when the sabbath was passed1 
,mary the ,magdalene and ,mary the      
mother of ,james1 and ,salome1 bought   
spices1 that they might come and anoint 
him4 #af3b ,and very early in the       
morning1 on the first day of the week1  
they came to the tomb at the rising of  
the sun4 #af3c;,and they said to        
themselves1 ,who will roll away the     
stone for us from the door of the       
tomb8-- #af3d;and looking up they saw   
that the stone was rolled away--for it  
was very great4  #i #af3e;,and coming to
 the tomb they saw a young man sitting  
on the right side1 clothed with a white 
robe2 and they were astonished4         
#af3f;,and he said to them1 ,be not     

astonished2 you seek ,jesus the         
,nazarene1 who was crucified4 ,he is    
raised2 he is not here4 ,see the place  
where they laid him4 #af3g;,but go1 tell
 his disciples and ,peter that he goes  
before you to ,galilee2 there you shall 
see him as he said to you4 #af3h;,and   
they went out and fled from the tomb2   
and trembling and amazement seized them2
 and they said nothing to any one1 for  
they were afraid4    ,,chapter ,,xvii4  
,,an ,,addition ,,by ,,an ,,unknown     
,,writer4  #a #af3i;,,and having arisen 
early on the first day of the week1 he  
appeared first to ,mary the ,magdalene  
from whom he had cast out seven demons4 
#af3aj,she went and told those who had  
been with him1 who were weeping and     
lamenting2 #af3aa and when they heard   
that he was alive1 and had been seen by 
her1 they did not believe it4  #b       
#af3ab;,afterwards he appeared in       
another form to two of them as they     
walked1 going into the country4         
#af3ac;,and they went and announced it  

to the rest2 they did not believe it4   
#c #af3ad;,and afterwards he appeared to
 the eleven1 as they reclined1 and      
reproached their unbelief and hardness  
of heart1 because they believed not     
those who had seen him since he rose    
from the dead4 #af3ae;,and he said to   
them1 ,go into all the world1 preach the
 good news to all the creation2         
#af3af;he that believes and is baptized 
shall be saved1 but he that disbelieves 
shall be condemned4 #af3ag;,and these   
signs shall follow those that believe2  
in my name they shall cast out demons1  
they shall speak with new tongues1      
#af3ahthey shall take up serpents1 and  
if they drink any deadly poison it shall
 not hurt them2 and they shall lay hands
 on the sick1 and they shall be well4   
#d #af3ai,then the ,lord1 after speaking
 with them1 was taken up to heaven1 and 
sat on the right hand of ,god4          
#af3bj;,and they went abroad and        
preached everywhere1 the ,lord working  
with them1 and confirming the word by   

the accompanying miracles4     ,,the    
,,gospel ,,of ,,luke4   ,,chapter ,i4   
,,introduction1 ,,and ,,the ,,two       
,,annunciations4  #a #a3a,,since many   
have undertaken to arrange a complete   
digest of the things fully believed     
among us1 #a3b;as they delivered them to
 us who1 from the beginning1 were eye   
witnesses and ministers of the word1    
#a3c;it seemed good to me also1 having  
traced all things accurately from the   
first1 to write in order to you1 most   
excellent ,theophilus1 #a3dthat you may 
know the certainty of the words         
concerning which you have been taught4  
#b #a3e;,in the days of ,herod the king 
of ,judea1 there was a certain priest by
 the name of ,zachariah1 of the class of
 ,abijah2 and his wife was of the       
daughters of ,aaron1 and her name was   
,elizabeth4 #a3f;,and they were both    
righteous before ,god1 walking in all   
the commandments and ordinances of the  
,lord blameless4  #a3g ,and they had no 
son1 because ,elizabeth was barren1 and 

both were advanced in years4  #c        
#a3h;,and when he was performing the    
priest's office in the order of his     
class before ,god1 it fell to his lot1  
#a3i;according to the custom of the     
priesthood1 to go into the temple of the
 ,lord to burn incense2 #a3aj;and all   
the multitude of the people were praying
 without1 at the hour of incense4       
#a3aa;,and an angel of the ,lord        
appeared to him1 standing on the right  
side of the altar of incense2 #a3ab;and 
,zachariah was troubled when he saw him1
 and fear fell upon him4  #d #a3ac;,and 
the angel said to him1 ,fear not1       
,zachariah1 for your prayer is heard1   
and your wife ,elizabeth shall bear you 
a son2 and you shall call his name      
,john4 #a3ad;,and he shall be to you a  
joy and rejoicing2 and many shall       
rejoice at his birth2 #a3ae;for he shall
 be great in the sight of the ,lord1 and
 shall not drink wine and strong drink1 
but shall be filled with the ,holy      
,spirit even from his birth2 #a3af;and  

many of the children of ,israel shall he
 turn to the ,lord their ,god4          
#a3ag;,and he shall go before him in the
 spirit and power of ,elijah1 to turn   
the hearts of fathers to children1 and  
the disobedient to the wisdom of the    
righteous1 to make ready a people       
prepared for the ,lord4 #a3ah ,and      
,zachariah said to the angel1 ,by what  
shall ,i know this8 for ,i am an old    
man1 and my wife advanced in years4     
#a3ai;,and the angel answered and said  
to him1 ,i am ,gabriel1 who stand before
 ,god2 and ,i was sent to speak to you1 
and to tell you this good news4         
#a3bj;,and behold you shall be silent1  
and not able to speak1 till the day     
these things are accomplished2 because  
you have not believed my words1 which   
shall be fulfilled in their time4  #e   
#a3ba;,and the people waited for        
,zachariah1 and wondered that he staid  
so long in the temple4 #a3bb;,and when  
he came out he could not speak to them2 
and they perceived that he had seen a   

vision in the temple4 ,and he made signs
 to them1 and continued dumb4           
#a3bc;,and when the days of his service 
were completed he departed to his house4
 #a3bd;,and after these days ,elizabeth 
his wife became pregnant1 and hid       
herself five months1 saying1 #a3be,thus 
has the ,lord dealt with me1 in the days
 in which he looked upon me to take away
 my reproach among men4  #f #a3bf;,and  
in the sixth month the angel ,gabriel   
was sent by ,god to a city of ,galilee1 
by the name of ,nazareth1 #a3bgto a     
virgin espoused to a man whose name was 
,joseph1 of the house of ,david2 and the
 name of the virgin was ,mary4          
#a3bh;,and coming in to her1 he said1   
,hail1 favored one6 ,the ,lord is with  
you6 #a3bi;,and she was troubled at his 
word1 and doubted what this salutation  
meant4  #a3cj;,and the angel said to    
her1 ,fear not1 ,mary1 for you have     
found favor with ,god4 #a3ca;,and behold
 you shall be with child1 and bear a    
son1 and shall call his name ,jesus4    

#a3cb;,he shall be great1 and shall be  
called the ,son of the ,most ,high4 ,and
 the ,lord ,god shall give him the      
throne of ,david his father1 #a3cc;and  
he shall reign over the house of ,jacob 
forever1 and of his kingdom there shall 
be no end4  #g #a3cd;,and ,mary said to 
the angel1 ,how shall this be1 since ,i 
know not a man8 #a3ce;,and the angel    
answered and said to her1 ,the ,holy    
,spirit shall come upon you1 and the    
power of the ,most ,high shall          
overshadow you2 and on that account the 
holy child shall be called the ,son of  
,god4 #a3cf;,and behold ,elizabeth1 your
 relative1 even she is pregnant with a  
son in her old age1 and this is the     
sixth month to her called barren2       
#a3cg;for nothing is impossible with    
,god4 #a3ch ,and ,mary said1 ,behold1 ,i
 am the servant of the ,lord6 ,let it be
 to me according to your word4 ,and the 
angel departed from her4    ,,chapter   
,,ii4  ,,marys ,,visit ,,to ,,elizabeth1
 ,,and ,,the ,,birth ,,of ,,john4  #a   

#a3ci;,,and ,mary arose in those days   
and went in haste to the mountainous    
country1 to the city of ,juda4          
#a3dj;,and she went unto the house of   
,zachariah and saluted ,elizabeth4      
#a3da;,and when ,elizabeth heard the    
salutation of ,mary1 the babe leaped in 
her womb4 ,and ,elizabeth was filled    
with the ,holy ,spirit1 #a3db;and cried 
with a loud voice1 and said1 ,blessed   
are you among women6  and blessed is the
 fruit of your womb6 #a3dc;,and whence  
is this to me1 that the mother of my    
,lord has come to me8 #a3dd;,for1       
behold1 when the voice of your          
salutation came to my ears1 the babe    
leaped in my womb with exultation4 #a3de
 ,and blessed is she that believed2 for 
there shall be an accomplishment of the 
words spoken to her by the ,lord4  #b   
#a3df;,and ,mary said1 ,my soul         
magnifies the ,lord1 #a3dg;and my spirit
 exults in ,god my ,saviour2 #a3dh;for  
he has looked on the low condition of   
his servant2 for1 behold1 from this time

 all generations shall call me blessed1 
#a3di because the mighty ,one has done  
great things for me1 and holy is his    
name2 #a3ej;and his mercy is to         
generations and generations of them that
 fear him4  #a3ea;,he has made strong   
his arm2 he has scattered the proud with
 the thought of their hearts2 #a3eb;he  
has brought down the mighty from        
thrones1 and exalted the humble2        
#a3ec;he has filled the hungry with     
goods1 and sent the rich away empty4    
#a3ed;,he has helped ,israel his        
servant1 and remembered his mercy1 #a3ee
 as he said to our fathers1 to ,abraham 
and his posterity forever4  #a3ef;,and  
,mary remained with her about three     
months1 and returned to her house4  #c  
#a3eg;,and when ,elizabeth's time to    
bear had fully come1 she bore a son2    
#a3eh;and her neighbors and relatives   
heard that the ,lord had magnified his  
mercy to her1 and congratulated her4    
#a3ei;,and they came on the eighth day  
to circumcise the little child1 and     

called it by the name of its father1    
,zachariah4  #a3fj;,and his mother      
answered and said1 ,no2 but he shall be 
called ,john4 #a3fa ,and they said to   
her1 ,there is no one of your relations 
who is called by this name2 #a3fb;and   
they made signs to his father1 what he  
wished it to be called4 #a3fc;,and      
asking for a writing-tablet1 he wrote1  
saying1 ,his name is ,john4 ,and all    
wondered4 #a3fd;,and his mouth was      
immediately opened1 and his tongue      
loosed1 and he spoke and blessed ,god4  
#a3fe;,and fear came on all living      
around them4 ,all these things were     
talked of in all the mountainous country
 of ,judea4 #a3ff;,and all who heard    
laid them to heart1 saying1 ,what then  
is this child to be8 ,for the hand of   
the ,lord was also with him4  #d        
#a3fg;,and ,zachariah his father was    
filled with the ,holy ,spirit1 and      
prophesied1 saying1 #a3fh;,blessed is   
the ,lord1 the ,god of ,israel1 because 
he has visited and redeemed his people1 

#a3fi;and raised up a horn of salvation 
for us in the house of ,david his       
servant2 #a3gj;as he said by the mouth  
of his holy prophets from of old2       
#a3ga;,a salvation from our enemies1 and
 from the hand of all that hate us1     
#a3gbto perform his mercy with our      
fathers1 and to remember his holy       
covenant1 #a3gcthe oath which he swore  
to ,abraham our father1 #a3gdto grant us
 without fear1 being delivered from the 
hand of our enemies1 to serve him       
#a3ge;in holiness and righteousness     
before him all our days4 #a3gf;,and you1

 of the ,most ,high2 for you shall go   
before the face of the ,lord to prepare 
his ways1 #a3ggto give a knowledge of   
salvation to his people1 with a         
forgiveness of sins1 #a3ghon account of

visited us1 #a3gito illuminate those    
sitting in darkness and the shade of    
death1 to direct our feet in the way of 

peace4 #a3hj;,and the child grew1 and   
became strong in spirit1 and was in the 
wilderness till the day of his          
manifestation to ,israel4    ,,chapter  
,,iii4  ,,the ,,birth ,,of ,,christ1    
,,his ,,infancy ,,and ,,childhood4  #a  
#b3a;,in those days there went out an   
ordinance from ,caesar ,augustus that a 
census should be taken of all the world4
  #b3b,this first census was taken when 
,cyrenius was proconsul of ,syria4      
#b3c;,and all went to be enrolled1 each 
one to his own city4 #b3d;,and ,joseph  
went up from ,galilee1 from the city of 
,nazareth1 to ,judea1 to the city of    
,david1 which is called ,bethlehem1     
because he was of the house and family  
of ,david1 #b3eto be enrolled with ,mary
 his espoused wife1 who was with child4 
#b3f;,and while they were there the days
 for her delivery were completed2       
#b3g;and she bore her first-born son1   
and wrapped him in bandages1 and laid   
him in a manger1 because there was no   
room for them in the khan4  #b #b3h;,and

 there were shepherds in that country   
staying in the fields and watching their
 flock by night4 #b3i;,and behold1 an   
angel of the ,lord came upon them1 and  
the glory of the ,lord shone around     
them1 and they were greatly afraid4     
#b3aj;,and the angel said to them1 ,fear
 not2 for1 behold1 ,i bring you good    
news of a great joy1 which shall be for 
all people4 #b3aa;,for to you was born  
to-day in the city of ,david1 a ,saviour
 who is the anointed ,lord4 #b3ab;,and  
this shall be a sign to you4 ,you shall 
find the babe wrapped in bandages1 lying
 in a manger4 #b3ac;,and suddenly there 
was with the angel a multitude of the   
heavenly host1 praising ,god1 and       
saying1 #b3ad;,glory to ,god in the     
highest heavens1 on earth peace1 and    
among men good will6  #c #b3ae;,and when
 the angels had departed from them to   
heaven1 the shepherds said one to       
another1 ,let us go now to ,bethlehem1  
and see this thing which has occurred1  
which the ,lord has made known to us4   

#b3af;,and they came in haste1 and found
 ,mary and ,joseph1 and the babe lying  
in the manger4 #b3ag;,and when they saw 
it they related the word spoken to them 
concerning this child2 #b3ah and all who
 heard wondered at the things told them 
by the shepherds4  #b3ai;,but ,mary kept
 all these words1 revolving them in her 
mind4  #b3bj;,and the shepherds         
returned1 glorifying and praising ,god  
for all that they had heard and seen1 as
 it was told them4  #d #b3ba;,and when  
eight days were completed1 the time to  
circumcise him1 his name was called     
,jesus1 the name given him by the angel 
before he was conceived in the womb4    
#b3bb;,and when the days of their       
purification were completed according to
 the law of ,moses1 they carried him up 
to ,jerusalem to present him to the     
,lord1 #b3bc;as it is written in the law
 of the ,lord that every male which is a
 first born shall be called holy to the 
,lord1 #b3bd;and to offer a sacrifice   
according to what is said in the law of 

the ,lord1 ,a pair of turtle doves1 or  
two young pigeons4  #e #b3be;,and       
behold1 there was a man at ,jerusalem   
whose name was ,simeon2 and this man was
 just and pious1 waiting for the        
consolation of ,israel1 and the ,holy   
,spirit was on him4 #b3bf;,and he was   
informed by the ,holy ,spirit that he   
should not see death till he had seen   
the ,lord's anointed4 #b3bg;,and he came
 by the spirit into the temple1 and when
 the parents brought in the child       
,jesus1 to do according to the custom of
 the law concerning him1 #b3bh;he also  
took it in his arms1 and blessed ,god1  
and said1 #b3bi,now1 ,master1 dismiss   
thy servant according to thy word1 in   
peace2 #b3cj;for my eyes have seen thy  
salvation1 #b3cawhich thou hast prepared
 before all people2 #b3cb;a light for   
enlightening ,gentiles1 and a glory of  
thy people ,israel4  #b3cc;,and his     
father and mother wondered at the words 
spoken of him4  #f #b3cd;,and ,simeon   
blessed them1 and said to ,mary his     

mother1 ,behold1 this child is set for  
the fall and rise of many in ,israel1   
and for a sign spoken against1 #b3ce;and
 a sword shall pierce your own soul     
also1 that the thoughts of many hearts  
may be revealed4  #g #b3cf;,and there   
was ,anna1 a prophetess1 a daughter of  
,phanuel1 of the tribe of ,asher2 she   
was far advanced in years1 having lived 
with a husband seven years from her     
virginity2 #b3cg;and she had been a     
widow eighty-four years1 and departed   
not from the temple1 serving ,god night 
and day with fastings and prayers4      
#b3ch;,and she coming by at that time1  
praised ,god1 and spoke of him the child
 to all who expected a redemption in    
,jerusalem4  #b3ci;,and when they had   
finished all things according to the law
 of the ,lord1 they returned to         
,galilee1 to their city ,nazareth4      
#b3dj;,and the little child grew1 and   
became strong1 being filled with wisdom2
 and the grace of ,god was upon it4  #h 
#b3da;,and his parents went up yearly to

 ,jerusalem to the feast of the         
passover4 #b3db;,and when he was twelve 
years old they went up to ,jerusalem1   
according to the custom of the feast4   
#b3dc;,and having completed the days1 on
 their return1 the child ,jesus remained
 behind at ,jerusalem4 ,and his parents 
knew it not4  #b3dd;,but supposing that 
he was in the company went a day's      
journey and sought him among their      
relations and acquaintances4  #b3de;,and
 not finding him they returned to       
,jerusalem to seek him4  #b3df;,and     
after three days they found him sitting 
in the temple in the midst of the       
teachers1 both hearing and questioning  
them4  #b3dg;,and all who heard him were
 astonished at his understanding and his
 answers4  #i #b3dh;,and when they saw  
him they were astonished2 and his mother
 said to him1 ,son1 why have you dealt  
thus with us8 ,behold1 your father and  
,i have sought you with sorrow4         
#b3di;,and he said to them1 ,why did you
 seek me8 did you not know that ,i must 

be in the courts of my father8          
#b3ej;,and they understood not the word 
which he spoke to them4 #b3ea;,and he   
went down with them1 and came to        
,nazareth1 and was subject to them4 ,and
 his mother kept all these things in her
 heart4 #b3eb;,and ,jesus advanced in   
wisdom and stature1 and in favor with   
,god and men4    ,,chapter ,,iv4  ,,the

all the region about the ,jordan1       
preaching the baptism of a change of    
mind for the forgiveness of sins2

shall be made low2 and the crooked shall
 be made straight1 and the rough ways   
smooth2 #c3f;and all flesh shall see the
 salvation of ,god4  #b #c3g,then ,john 
said to the multitudes who went out to  
be baptized by him1 ,offspring of       
vipers1 who has warned you to flee from 
the wrath to come8 #c3h ,bear fruits1   
therefore1 worthy of a change of mind4  
,and say not within yourselves1 ,we have
 ,abraham for a father2 for ,i tell you 
that ,god is able from these stones to  
raise up children to ,abraham4 #c3i;,and
 already also the axe lies at the root  
of the trees2 every tree therefore which
 bears not good fruit1 is cut down and  
cast into the fire4 #c3aj;,and the      
multitudes asked him1 saying1 ,what then
 shall we do8 #c3aa;,and he answered and

 said to them1 ,let him that has two    
coats give to him that has none2 and let
 him that has food do the same4         
#c3ab;,and publicans1 also1 came to be  
baptized1 and said to him1 ,teacher1    
what shall we do8 #c3ac;,and he said to 
them1 ,do nothing more than is appointed
 for you4 #c3ad;,and the soldiers asked 
him1 saying1 ,and what shall we do8 ,and
 he said to them1 ,oppress1 and falsely 
accuse1 no one2 and be contented with   
your wages4  #c #c3ae;,and the people   
being in expectation1 and all doubting  
in their minds concerning ,john1 whether
 he was the ,christ1 #c3af;,john        
answered all1 saying1 ,i indeed baptize 
you with water1 but a mightier than ,i  
is coming1 the strings of whose shoes ,i
 am not fit to untie2 he shall baptize  
you with the ,holy ,spirit and fire4

being reproved by him on account of

 he said to them1 ,you will undoubtedly 
tell me this proverb2 ,physician1 cure  
yourself2 things which we heard were

tell you truly1 that no prophet is      
acceptable in his own country4 #d3be;,i 
also tell you of a truth1 that there    
were many widows in ,israel in the days

three years and six months1 so that     
there was a great famine over all the

,syrian4 #d3bh;,and all in the synagogue
 when they heard these things were      
filled with wrath2 #d3bi;and they arose

him even to the brow of the mountain on 
which the city was built1 to precipitate
 him down4  #d3cj;,but he passed through
 the midst of them and went away4

the sabbath2 #d3cb;and they were        
astonished at his teaching1 for his word
 was with power4 #d3cc;,and there was a 
man in the synagogue having a spirit of 
an impure demon2 and he cried with a    
loud voice1 #d3cd;,alas6 what have you  
to do with us1 ,jesus ,nazarene8 ,have  
you come to destroy us8 ,i know you who 
you are1 the ,holy ,son of ,god6

,hush6  and come out of him4 ,and the   
demon casting him into the midst came   
out of him1 doing him no injury4        
#d3cf;,and they were all amazed1 and    
talked with each other1 saying1 ,what   
word is this1 that with authority and   

power he commands the impure spirits1   
and they come out8 #d3cg;,and a report  
of him went abroad into every place in  
the country about4  #b #d3ch;,and going 
up from the synagogue he entered into   
the house of ,simon4 ,and ,simon's      
mother-in-law was sick with a violent   
fever2 and they asked him in her behalf4
 #d3ci;,and standing over her he rebuked
 the fever1 and it left her4 ,and she   
immediately arose and waited on them4   
#c #d3dj;,and when the sun went down1   
all who had friends sick with various   
diseases brought them to him2 and       
putting his hands on each one of them he
 cured them2 #d3da;and demons also went 
out of many1 crying and saying1 ,you are
 the ,son of ,god6 ,and he rebuked them1
 and charged them not to say that they  
knew him to be the ,christ4  #d         
#d3db;,and when it was day1 coming out  
he went to a solitary place2 and the    
multitudes sought him1 and came to him1 
and urged him not to depart from them4  
#d3dc;,but he said to them1 ,i must     

preach the good news of the kingdom of  
,god in the other cities also1 because  
for this am ,i sent2 #d3dd;and he       
preached in the synagogues of ,galilee4 
#e #e3a;,and as the multitude pressed   
upon him to hear the word of ,god1 and  
he was standing by the lake of          
,gennesaret1 #e3b;he saw two boats      
standing by the lake2 and the fishermen 
having gone out of them were washing    
their nets4 #e3c ,and entering into one 
of the ships1 which was ,simon's1 he    
asked him to put out a little from the  
land1 and sat down and taught the       
multitudes from the ship4 #e3d;,and when
 he ceased speaking1 he said to ,simon1 
,put out into the deep water1 and let   
down your nets for a draught4  #e3e;,and
 ,simon answered and said to him1       
,master1 we have labored all night and  
taken nothing2 but at your word ,i will 
let down the net4 #e3f;,and doing this  
he enclosed a great number of fishes2   
and their net broke4 #e3g;,and he made  
signs to his companions in the other    

ship to come and help him2 and they     
came1 and filled both ships1 so that    
they began to sink4 #e3h;,and ,simon    
,peter seeing it fell on his knees to   
,jesus1 saying1 ,depart from me1 ,lord1 
for ,i am a sinful man4 #e3i;,for he was
 amazed1 and all that were with him1 at 
the draught of fishes which they had    
taken4  #e3aj,so also were ,james and   
,john1 sons of ,zebedee1 who were       
partners with ,simon4 ,and ,jesus said  
to ,simon1 ,fear not2 from this time you
 shall take men4 #e3aa;,and bringing the
 ships to the land they left all and    
followed him4  #f #e3ab;,and he was in  
one of the cities1 and behold1 a man    
full of leprosy2 and seeing ,jesus he   
fell on his face1 and asked him1 saying1
 ,lord1 if you will1 you can cleanse me4
 #e3ac;,and stretching out his hand he  
touched him1 saying1 ,i will2 be        
cleansed4 ,and immediately the leprosy  
left him4 #e3ad;,and he charged him to  
tell no one1 but go and show yourself to
 the priest1 and present an offering for

 your purification1 as ,moses commanded1
 for a testimony to them4 #e3ae;,and the
 report concerning him went abroad      
extensively2 and great multitudes came  
together to hear him1 and to be cured of
 their diseases4 #e3af ,and he withdrew 
into solitary places and prayed4        
,,chapter ,,vii4  ,,christ ,,forgiving  
,,sins1 ,,calling ,,levi1 ,,eating

#e3ag;,,and on one of those days he was 
teaching1 and the ,pharisees and        
teachers of the law were present1 having
 come from every village of ,galilee1   
and of ,judea1 and from ,jerusalem2 and 
the power of the ,lord was present to   
cure them4 #e3ah;,and behold1 men       
bringing on a bed a man who was         
paralytic2 and they sought to bring him 
in to place him before him4 #e3ai;,and  
not finding how they could bring him in1
 on account of the multitude1 they went 
up on the house1 and let him down       

through the tiles1 with his little bed1 
into the midst before ,jesus4 #e3bj;,and
 seeing their faith1 he said1 ,man1 your
 sins are forgiven you4  #b #e3ba;,and  
the scribes and ,pharisees began to     
reason1 saying1 ,who is this that speaks
 blasphemies8 who can forgive sins1 but 
,god alone8 #e3bb;,and ,jesus knowing   
their thoughts answered and said to     
them1 ,why do you reason in your minds8 
#e3bc;in what is it easier to say1 ,your
 sins are forgiven you1 than to say1    
,arise and walk8 #e3bd;,but that you may
 know that the ,son of man has power on 
the earth to forgive sins1 he said to   
the paralytic1 ,i tell you1 arise1 and  
take up your little bed1 and go to your 
house4 #e3be;,and he arose immediately  
before them1 and taking up that on which
 he had lain departed to his house1     
glorifying ,god4  #e3bf;,and all were   
astonished1 and glorified ,god1 and were
 filled with fear1 saying1 ,we have seen
 strange things to-day4  #c #e3bg;,and  
after these things he went out and saw a

 publican by the name of ,levi1 sitting 
at the custom house1 and said to him1   
,follow me4 #e3bh;,and leaving all he   
arose and followed him4  #e3bi;,and     
,levi made a great feast for him at his 
house2 and there was a great multitude  
of publicans and of others who reclined 
with them4 #e3cj;,and the ,pharisees and
 their scribes complained to his        
disciples1 saying1 ,why do you eat and  
drink with publicans8 #e3ca;,and ,jesus 
answered and said to them1 ,the well    
need not a physician1 but the ill4      
#e3cb;,i have not come to call the      
righteous1 but sinners to a change of   
mind4  #d #e3cc;,and they said to him1  
,the disciples of ,john fast much and   
make prayers2 and likewise those of the 
,pharisees2 but yours eat and drink4    
#e3cd;,and he said to them1 ,can you    
make the children of the bridechamber   
fast while the bridegroom is with them8 
#e3ce;,but days will come when the      
bridegroom shall be taken from them2    
then shall they fast in those days4  #e 

#e3cf;,and he spoke also a parable to   
them2 ,that no one puts a piece of a new
 garment on an old garment2 if he does1 
the new both tears the old1 and that    
from the new disagrees with the old4    
#e3cg;,and no one puts new wine into old
 bottles2 if he does1 the new wine will 
break the bottles1 and itself be poured 
out1 and the bottles be destroyed4      
#e3ch;,but new wine must be put into new
 bottles4 #e3ci;,and no one drinking old
 wine desires new2 for he says the old  
is good4  #f #f3a;,and on the           
second-first sabbath he went through the
 grain fields1 and his disciples picked 
the heads and eat1 rubbing them in their
 hands4 #f3b;,and some of the ,pharisees
 said1 ,why do you do what is not lawful
 on the sabbath8 #f3c;,and ,jesus       
answered and said to them1 ,have you not
 read what ,david did when he was       
hungry1 he and those with him8 #f3d;,he 
entered into the house of ,god1 and took
 the show bread1 and eat1 and gave to   
those with him1 which it was not lawful 

for any to eat1 except the priests      
alone4 #f3e;,and he said to them1 ,the  
,son of man is ,lord even of the        
sabbath4  #g #f3f;,and on another       
sabbath he went into the synagogue and  
taught4 ,and there was a man there whose
 right hand was withered4  #f3g;,and the
 scribes and ,pharisees watched him to  
see if he would perform a cure on the   
sabbath1 that they might find something 
of which to accuse him4 #f3h;,but he    
knew their thoughts1 and said to the man
 having the withered hand1 ,arise1 and  
stand in the midst4 ,and he arose and   
stood4 #f3i;,and ,jesus said to them1 ,i
 will ask you whether it is lawful on   
the sabbath to do good or to do evil8 to
 save a life or to destroy8 #f3aj;,and  
looking round upon them all he said to  
him1 ,stretch out your hand4 ,and he did
 so2 and his hand was restored4         
#f3aa;,and they were filled with        
madness1 and conferred with each other  
as to what they should do to ,jesus4

 the mountain to pray1 and spent the    
whole night in prayer to ,god4

them1 whom he named apostles1 #f3ad

people from all ,judea and ,jerusalem1

 their diseases2 #f3ah;and those        
troubled with impure spirits were cured4
 #f3ai;,and all the multitude sought to 
touch him1 for a power went out from him
 and cured all4  #b #f3bj;,and he lifted

 up his eyes upon his disciples and     
said1 ,blessed are you poor1 for yours

takes that which is yours1 ask it not

to you1 do you also in like manner to

love you1 what thanks have you8 for

enemies1 and do good1 and lend1 hoping  
for nothing in return2 and your reward  
shall be great1 and you shall be

bosom4 ,for with what measure you       
measure it shall be measured back to    
you4  #d #f3ci;,and he spoke also a     
parable to them2 ,can the blind lead the
 blind8 ,will not both fall into the    
pit8 #f3dj;,a disciple is not above his 
teacher1 but every perfect one will be  
as his teacher4 #f3da;,and why do you

out first the beam from your eye1 and   
then you will see clearly to cast out   
the speck from your brother's eye4      
#f3dc;,for there is no good tree which  
bears bad fruit1 nor1 again1 a bad tree

treasury of his heart brings forth good1

 forth evil2 for out of the abundance of

show you whom he is like4 #f3dh;,he is  
like a man building a house1 who dug and
 went deep1 and laid the foundation on  
the rock2 and when there was a flood1   
the stream beat against that house and  
could not shake it1 because it was built
 on a rock4 #f3di;,but he that hears and
 does not1 is like a man building a     
house on the earth1 without a           
foundation1 against which the stream    
beat1 and it fell immediately2 and the  
ruin of that house was great4

 servant1 ,do this1 and he does it4     
#g3i;,and ,jesus hearing these things   
wondered at him1 and turning around said
 to the multitude following him1 ,i tell
 you ,i have not found in ,israel so    
great a faith2 #g3aj;and those sent     
returning to the house found the sick   
servant well4  #b #g3aa;,and on the next
 day he went to a city called ,nain1 and
 a considerable number of his disciples 
and a great multitude went with him4    
#g3ab;,and as he approached the gate of 
the city1 behold1 a dead man was carried
 out1 an only son of his mother1 and she
 was a widow4 ,and a great multitude    
from the city was with her4 #g3ac;,and  
seeing her1 the ,lord had compassion on 
her1 and said to her1 ,weep not4        
#g3ad;,and approaching he touched the   
bier1 and those who bore it stopped4    
,and he said1 ,young man1 ,i tell you1  
arise6 #g3ae;,and the dead sat up1 and  

began to speak2 and he gave him to his  
mother4 #g3af;,and fear seized all2 and 
they glorified ,god1 saying1 ,a great   
prophet is raised up among us2 and1 ,god
 has visited his people4 #g3ag;,and this
 report of him went out into all ,judea1
 and into all the region around4  #c    
#g3ah;,and his disciples told ,john of  
all these things4  #g3ai;,and calling   
two of his disciples1 ,john sent to the 
,lord1 saying1 ,are you he that was to  
come1 or look we for another8           
#g3bj;,and coming to him the men said1  
,john the ,baptist has sent us to you to
 say1 ,are you he that was to come1 or  
look we for another8 #g3ba;,and in that 
hour he cured many of diseases1 and     
plagues1 and of evil spirits1 and gave  
sight to many blind4  #g3bb;,and ,jesus 
answered and said to them1 ,go and tell 
,john what you have seen and heard2 that
 the blind see1 the lame walk1 the      
lepers are cleansed1 the deaf hear1 the 
dead are raised up1 and the poor have   
the good news preached to them2         

#g3bc;and blessed is he who shall not be
 offended with me4  #d #g3bd;,and when  
the messengers of ,john had gone away1  
he said to the multitudes concerning    
,john1 ,what went you out into the      
wilderness to see8 ,a reed shaken with a
 wind8 #g3be;,but what went you out to  
see8 ,a man dressed in fine clothes8    
,behold1 those who wear fine clothes1   
and live in luxury1 are in royal        
palaces4  #g3bf;,but what went you out  
to see8 ,a prophet8 ,yes1 ,i tell you1  
and more than a prophet4 #g3bg,this is  
he of whom it is written2 ,behold1 ,i   
send my messenger before your face1 who 
shall prepare your way before you4      
#g3bh;,i tell you1 that among those born
 of women there is no greater prophet   
than ,john2 but the least in the kingdom
 of ,god is greater than he4 #g3bi;,and 
all the people who heard this1 and the  
publicans1 justified ,god1 having       
received the baptism of ,john4          
#g3cj;,but the ,pharisees and lawyers   
rejected the counsel of ,god as to      

themselves1 not having been baptized by 
him4  #e #g3ca;,and he said1 ,to what   
then shall ,i compare the men of this   
generation8 and what are they like8     
#g3cb,they are like little children     
sitting in the market1 and they call to 
each other1 saying1 ,we have played on  
pipes to you1 and you have not danced2  
we have mourned to you1 and you have not
 lamented4 #g3cc ,for ,john the ,baptist
 came neither eating bread nor drinking 
wine1 and you say1 ,he has a demon4     
#g3cd,the ,son of man has come eating   
and drinking1 and you say1 ,behold a    
glutton and a wine drinker6 a friend of 
publicans and sinners6 #g3ce ,and

children4    ,,chapter ,x4  ,,christ

#g3cf;,,and one of the ,pharisees asked 
him to eat with him2 and going into the 
,pharisee's house he reclined4          
#g3cg;,and behold1 a certain woman in   

the city1 a sinner1 knowing that he was 
reclining in the house of the ,pharisee1
 brought a vase of ointment1 #g3ch;and  
standing behind1 by his feet1 weeping1  
washed his feet with tears1 and wiped   
them with the hairs of her head2 and she
 kissed his feet1 and anointed them with
 the ointment4  #g3ci;,and the ,pharisee
 who invited him1 seeing it1 spoke      
within himself1 saying1 ,if this was a  
prophet he would have known who and what
 kind of a woman this is who touches    
him2 for she is a sinner4  #b #g3dj;,and

debtors2 one owed him five hundred

gave the debt to both4 ,tell me1        
therefore1 which of them will love him  
most8 #g3dc,simon answered and said1 ,i 
suppose the one to whom he gave most4   
,and he said to him1 ,you have judged   

rightly4 #g3dd;,and turning to the      
woman1 he said to ,simon1 ,do you see   
this woman8 ,i came into your house2 you
 gave me no water for my feet2 but she  
has wet my feet with tears1 and wiped   
them with her hairs4 #g3de,you gave me

little is forgiven1 loves little4

are forgiven4 #g3di;,and those who      
reclined with him said within           
themselves1 ,who is this that forgives  
sins also8 #g3ej;,and he said to the    
woman1 ,your faith has saved you2 go in 
peace4  #c #h3a;,and he travelled in    
order through the cities and villages1  
proclaiming and preaching the good news 
of the kingdom of ,god2 and the twelve  
were with him1 #h3b;and certain women   

who had been cured of evil spirits and  
infirmities1 ,mary called ,magdalene1

many others1 who served them with their 
property4  #d #h3d;,and a great         
multitude having come together1 and     
persons having come to him from every   
city1 he said in a parable1 #h3e;,a     
sower went out to sow his seed2 and in  
his sowing1 some fell by the way1 and   
was trodden down1 and the birds of      
heaven devoured it2 #h3f;and some fell  
on the rock1 and springing up it was    
dried up1 because it had no moisture2   
#h3g;and some fell in the midst of      
thorns1 and the thorns springing up     
choked it2 #h3h;and some fell on good   
ground1 and growing up bore fruit a     
hundred fold4  ,having said these       
things1 he cried1 ,he that has ears to  
hear1 let him hear4  #e #h3i;,and his   
disciples asked him1 ,what does this    
parable mean8 #h3aj;,and he said1 ,it is

 given to you to know the mysteries of  
the kingdom of ,god1 but to others in   
parables2 that seeing they may not see1 
and hearing they may not understand4    
#h3aa;,but the parable signifies this2  
the seed is the word of ,god2 #h3abthose
 by the way are those who hear1 then    
comes the devil and takes away the word 
from their hearts1 that they may not    
believe and be saved2 #h3acthose on the 
rock are those who1 when they hear1     
receive the word with joy1 and they have
 no root2 they believe for a time1 and  
in a time of trial fall away2 #h3ad and 
that which fell among thorns signifies  
those who hear1 and going away are      
choked by cares and riches and the      
pleasures of this life1 and bring no    
fruit to perfection4 #h3ae;,but that on 
the good ground signifies those who1    
with a noble and good heart1 hearing the
 word retain it1 and bear fruit         
persistently4  #f #h3af;,but no one     
lights a candle and covers it with a    
vessel1 or puts it under a bed2 but he  

puts it in a candlestick1 that those    
coming in may see the light4 #h3ag;,for 
there is nothing hid which shall not be 
manifest1 nor concealed which shall not 
be known and come to light4 #h3ah,see   
therefore how you hear2 for whoever has1
 to him shall be given1 and whoever has 
not1 from him shall be taken away even

his mother and brothers came to him1 and
 were not able to approach him on

was told him by some1 saying1 ,your     
mother and your brothers stand without1 
wishing to see you4 #h3ba;,and he

those days both he and his disciples    
went into the ship2 and he said to them1
 ,let us cross over to the other side of

 the lake4 ,and they set sail2 #h3bc;and
 as they were sailing he fell asleep4   
,and a tempest of wind came down on the 
lake1 and they were flooded with water1 
and in peril4 #h3bd ,and they came and  
awoke him1 saying1 ,master6 ,master6 we 
are perishing6 ,and he arose1 and       
rebuked the wind and the waves1 and they
 ceased1 and there was a calm4

your faith8 ,and they were afraid1 and  
wondered1 saying one to another1 ,what  
man then is this1 that he commands the  
winds and the water and they obey him8  
#b #h3bf;,and they sailed to the country
 of the ,gerasenes1 which is opposite to
 ,galilee4 #h3bg;,and as he went out on 
the land1 there met him a certain man   
from the city who had had demons for a  
long time2 and he wore no clothes1 and  
remained not in a house1 but in the     
tombs4 #h3bh;,and seeing ,jesus1 he     
cried out1 and worshipped him1 and said 
with a loud voice1 ,what have you to do 
with me1 ,jesus1 son of the ,most ,high 

,god8 ,i beg of you not to torment me2  
#h3bi;for he had commanded the impure   
spirit to go out of the man2 for it had 
often seized him2 and he had been bound 
with chains1 and confined with fetters2 
and breaking his bonds he had been      
driven by the demon into solitary       
places4 #h3cj;,and ,jesus asked him1    
saying1 ,what is your name8 ,and he     
said1 ,legion2 because many demons had  
entered into him4 #h3ca;,and he besought
 him not to command them to go into the 
abyss4 #h3cb;,and there was a herd of   
many swine feeding on the mountain1 and 
they besought him to permit them to     
enter into them2 and be permitted them4 
#h3cc;,and the demons going out of the  
man entered into the swine2 and the herd
 rushed down the precipice into the lake
 and were drowned4  #c #h3cd;,and those 
who fed them1 seeing what was done1 fled
 and reported it in the city and in the 
country places4 #h3ce;,and they went out
 to see what had happened1 and came to  
,jesus1 and found the man from whom the 

demons had gone out sitting1 clothed and
 of a sound mind1 at the feet of ,jesus2
 and they were afraid4  #h3cf;,and those
 who had seen related to them how the   
demoniac had been cured4 #h3cg;,and all 
the multitude of the region about the   
,gerasenes requested him to depart from 
them1 because they were seized with     
great fear4 ,and entering into the ship1
 he returned4  #h3ch;,and the man from  
whom the demons had gone out desired to 
be with him2 but he sent him away1      
saying1 #h3ci,return to your house1 and 
declare how great things ,god has done  
for you4 ,and he went away proclaiming  
in all the city what great things ,jesus
 had done for him4  #d #h3dj;,and when  
,jesus returned the multitude received  
him2 for they were all waiting for him4 
#h3da;,and behold1 a man by the name of 
,jairus came2 and he was the ruler of a 
synagogue4 ,and falling at the feet of  
,jesus1 he besought him to come to his  
house1 #h3db;for he had an only daughter
 twelve years old1 and she was dying4   

,and when he was going1 the multitudes  
thronged him4 #h3dc;,and a woman having 
a hemorrhage of twelve years1 who had   
spent all her living on physicians1 and 
could not be cured by any one1          
#h3dd;coming up behind1 touched the     
fringe of his garment1 and immediately  
her flow of blood was stopped4 #h3de

all denying1 ,peter and those with him  
said1 ,master1 the multitudes press upon
 and throng you1 and do you say1 ,who   
touched me8 #h3df;,and ,jesus said1     
,some one touched me2 for ,i perceived a
 power going from me4 #h3dg;,and the    
woman seeing that she was not concealed1
 came trembling1 and falling down       
related to him in the presence of all

touched him1 and how she was immediately
 cured4 #h3dh;,and he said to her1      
,daughter1 your faith has cured you2 go 
in peace4  #e #h3di,while he was yet    
speaking some one came from the         
synagogue ruler's house and said to him1

 ,your daughter has died2 trouble not   
the teacher4 #h3ej ,but ,jesus hearing  
it answered him1 ,fear not2 only        
believe1 and she shall be cured4        
#h3ea;,and when he entered into the     
house1 he permitted no one to go in with
 him1 except ,peter1 and ,john1 and     
,james1 and the father and mother of the
 child4 #h3eb;,and all wept and lamented
 her4 ,but he said1 ,weep not2 she is   
not dead1 but sleeps4 #h3ec;,and they   
laughed at him1 knowing that she was    
dead4 #h3ed;,and taking her hand1 he    
called1 saying1 ,child1 arise6          
#h3ee;,and her spirit returned1 and she 
arose immediately4 ,and he commanded    
food to be given her4  #h3ef;,and her   
parents were astonished2 and he

all demons1 and to cure diseases1

 way neither a staff nor a provision    
sack1 nor bread1 nor silver1 and have   
not two coats apiece4 #i3d;,and into    
whatever house you enter1 there remain  
and thence depart4 #i3e;,and whoever    
does not receive you1 when you go out of
 that city shake off the dust from your 
feet for a testimony to them4 #i3f;,and 
they went out and passed through the    
villages1 everywhere proclaiming the    
good news and performing cures4  #b     
#i3g;,and ,herod the tetrarch heard all 
things which were done1 and was         
perplexed1 because it was said by some  
that ,john was raised from the dead1    
#i3h and by some that ,elijah had       
appeared1 and by others that one of the 
old prophets had arisen4 #i3i;,and      
,herod said1 ,john ,i beheaded2 but who 

is this1 of whom ,i hear such things8   
,and he sought to see him4  #c          
#i3aj;,and the apostles returned and    
reported to him all things which they   
had done4 ,and taking them aside1 he    
departed privately to the city called   
,bethsaida4 #i3aa;,and the multitudes   
knowing it followed him4 ,and having    
received them1 he spoke to them of the  
kingdom of ,god1 and cured those having 
need of cure4 #i3ab ,and the day began  
to decline2 and the twelve came and said
 to him1 ,dismiss the multitude1 that   
they may go to the villages and farms   
around1 and lodge1 and find provisions2 
for we are here in a solitary place4    
#i3ac;,and he said to them1 ,give them  
something to eat4 ,and they said1 ,we   
have not more than five loaves and two  
fishes1 unless we go and buy provisions 
for all this multitude2 #i3ad;for they  
were about five thousand men4 ,and he   
said to his disciples1 ,make them       
recline in companies of fifty each2     
#i3ae;and they did so1 and caused them  

all to recline4 #i3af;,and taking the   
five loaves and two fishes1 and looking 
up to heaven1 he blessed them1 and      
broke1 and gave to the disciples to set 
before the multitude4 #i3ag;,and they   
eat and were all filled2 and there was  
taken up what remained over to them1    
twelve traveling-baskets of fragments4  
#d #i3ah;,and when he was praying alone1
 the disciples came to him1 and he asked
 them1 saying1 ,who do the multitudes   
say that ,i am8  #i3ai;,and they        
answered and said1 ,john the ,baptist2  
and some ,elijah1 and others that one of
 the old prophets has arisen4           
#i3bj;,and he said to them1 ,who do you 
say that ,i am8 ,and ,peter answered and
 said1 ,the ,christ of ,god4 #i3ba;,and 
he charged and commanded them to tell   
this to no one2 #i3bbsaying1 ,the ,son  
of man must suffer many things1 and be  
rejected by the elders1 and chief       
priests1 and scribes1 and be killed1 and
 be raised on the third day4  #e        
#i3bc;,and he said to all1 ,if any one  

wishes to come after me1 let him deny   
himself1 and take up his cross1 and     
follow me4  #i3bd;,for whoever wishes to
 save his life1 shall lose it2 and      
whoever shall lose his life for my sake1
 shall save it4 #i3be;,for what is a man
 profited if he gains the whole world

pray4 #i3bi;,and while he was praying1  
the appearance of his face was changed1 
and his clothes became white and        

shining2 #i3cj;and behold1 two men      
conversed with him1 who were ,moses and 
,elijah1 #i3ca who appearing in glory   
spoke of his departure which he was     
about to accomplish at ,jerusalem4      
#i3cb;,and ,peter and those with him    
were oppressed with sleep2 and when they
 awoke they saw his glory1 and the two  
men standing with him4 #i3cc ,and when  
they were departing from him1 ,peter    
said to ,jesus1 ,master1 it is good for 
us to be here2 and let us make three    
tabernacles2 one for you1 and one for   
,moses1 and one for ,elijah2 not knowing
 what he said4  #i3cd;,and when he had  
said this1 a cloud came and overshadowed
 them2 and they were afraid when they   
entered into the cloud4  #i3ce;,and     
there was a voice from the cloud1       
saying1 ,this is my chosen ,son2 hear   
him4 #i3cf;,and when the voice had      
passed1 ,jesus was found alone4 ,and    
they were silent and told no man in     
those days any thing of what they had   
seen4  #b #i3cg;,and on the next day1   

when they came down from the mountain1 a
 great multitude met him4 #i3ch;,and    
behold1 a man from the multitude cried1 
saying1 ,teacher1 ,i desire you to look 
upon my son1 for he is my only child2   
#i3ci;and behold a spirit takes him1 and
 suddenly cries out and convulses him1  
with foam and crushing him departs from 
him with difficulty2 #i3dj;and ,i       
desired your disciples to cast it out1  
and they could not4  #i3da;,and ,jesus  
answered and said1 ,o faithless and     
perverse generation6 ,how long shall ,i 
be with you1 and suffer you6 ,bring your
 son hither4 #i3db;,and while he was    
coming1 the demon tore him with spasms  
and convulsed him4 ,and ,jesus rebuked  
the impure spirit1 and cured the child1 
and gave him back to his father4        
#i3dc;,and they were all astonished at  
the majesty of ,god4  #c ,and while all 
wondered at all things which he did1 he 
said to his disciples1 #i3dd;,commit    
these words to your ears2 for the ,son  
of man is about to be delivered into the

 hands of men4 #i3de;,but they          
understood not this saying2 and it was  
concealed from them1 that they might not
 perceive it2 and they feared to ask him
 concerning this saying4  #d #i3df;,and 
there arose a debate among them1 which  
of them should be the greatest4

in their minds1 took a little child and 
set it by him1 #i3dh;and said to them1  
,whoever receives this little child in  
my name1 receives me2 and whoever       
receives me1 receives him that sent me4

shall be the greatest4 #i3di;,and ,john 
answered and said1 ,master1 we saw one  
casting out demons in your name1 and we 
forbade him1 because he follows not with
 us4  #i3ej;,and ,jesus said to him1

wish us to call fire to come down from  
heaven and consume them8 #i3ee;,and he  
turned around and rebuked them2 and they
 went to another village4  #b #i3eg;,and
 as they were traveling on the way1 one 
said to him1 ,i will follow you wherever
 you go4 #i3eh;,and ,jesus said to him1 
,the foxes have holes1 and the birds of 
heaven places of shelter2 but the ,son  
of man has not where to lay his head4   
#i3ei;,and he said to another1 ,follow  
me4 ,and he said1 ,lord1 permit me first
 to go and bury my father4 #i3fj;,but he
 said to him1 ,let the dead bury their  
dead1 but do you go and proclaim abroad 
the kingdom of ,god4  #i3fa;,and another

 also said1 ,lord1 ,i will follow you1  
but permit me first to bid farewell to  
those in my house4 #i3fb;,but ,jesus    
said1 ,no man putting his hand on the   
plow1 and looking back1 is fit for the  
kingdom of ,god4  #c #aj3a;,and after   
these things the ,lord designated       
seventy others also1 and sent them out1 
two by two1 before his face1 into every 
city and place where he was about to    
come4 #aj3b;,and he said to them1 ,the  
harvest indeed is great1 but the        
laborers few2 pray1 therefore1 the ,lord
 of the harvest to thrust out laborers  
into his harvest4 #aj3c;,go2 behold ,i  
send you as lambs in the midst of       
wolves4 #aj3d;,carry neither a purse1   
nor provision sack1 nor sandals2 and    
salute no one by the way4 #aj3e;,and    
into whatever house you enter1 first    
say1 ,peace to this house6 #aj3f;,and if
 a son of peace is there1 your peace    
shall rest upon him2 but if not1 it     
shall return to you4 #aj3g;,and in the  
same house remain1 eating and drinking  

the things with them2 for the laborer is
 worthy of his reward4 ,go not about    
from house to house4 #aj3h;,and into    
whatever city you enter1 and they       
receive you1 eat what is set before you2
 #aj3i;and cure the sick in it1 and say 
to them1 ,the kingdom of ,god has come  
nigh to you4 #aj3aj ,and into whatever  
city you enter1 and they receive you    
not1 going out into its streets1 say1   
#aj3aa;,even the dust of your city which
 adheres to our feet we wipe off for    
you2 but know this1 that the kingdom of 
,god is at hand4 #aj3ab;,i tell you1 it 
shall be more tolerable for ,sodom in   
that day than for that city4 #aj3ac,woe 
to you1 ,chorazin6 ,woe to you1         
,bethsaida6 ,for if the mighty works had
 been done in ,tyre and ,sidon which    
have been done in you1 they would long  
ago have changed their minds1 sitting in
 sackcloth and ashes4 #aj3ad;,but it    
shall be more tolerable for ,tyre and   
,sidon in the judgment1 than for you4   
#aj3ae;,and you1 ,capernaum1 even to    

heaven will you be exalted8 even to     
hades shall you be cast down4           
#aj3af;,he that hears you1 hears me2 and
 he that rejects you1 rejects me2 and he
 that rejects me1 rejects him that sent 
me4  #d #aj3ag;,and the seventy returned
 with joy1 saying1 ,lord1 even the      
demons are subject to us by your name4  
#aj3ah;,and he said to them1 ,i saw     
,satan fall like lightning from heaven4 
#aj3ai;,behold1 ,i give you power to    
tread on serpents and scorpions1 and on 
all the power of the enemy2 and nothing 
shall by any means injure you2          
#aj3bj;but in this rejoice not1 that the
 spirits are subject to you1 but rejoice
 that your names are written in heaven4 
#e #aj3ba;,in the same hour he rejoiced 
in spirit1 and said1 ,i thank thee      
,father1 ,lord of heaven and earth1 that
 thou hast hid these things from the    
wise and intelligent1 and revealed them 
to babes4 ,yes1 ,father1 for so it has  
seemed good in thy sight4  #aj3bb;,and  
turning to his disciples1 he said1 ,all 

things are delivered to me by my        
,father2 and no one knows who the ,son  
is1 but the ,father2 and who the ,father
 is but the ,son1 and he to whomsoever  
the ,son will reveal him4 #aj3bc;,and   
turning around to his disciples he said 
privately1 ,blessed are the eyes which  
see what you see6 #aj3bd;,for ,i tell   
you that many prophets and kings have   
desired to see the things which you see1
 and have not seen them1 and to hear the
 things which you hear1 and have not    
heard them4    ,,chapter ,,xv4  ,,the

,teacher1 what shall ,i do to inherit

him1 ,what is written in the law8 how do
 you read8 #aj3bg;,and he answered and  
said1 ,you shall love the ,lord your

your soul1 and with all your strength1  
and with all your mind1 and your

said to him1 ,you have answered well2 do
 this1 and you shall live4  #b          
#aj3bi;,but he1 wishing to justify      
himself1 said to ,jesus1 ,and who is my

 said1 ,a certain man went down from    
,jerusalem to ,jericho1 and fell among  
robbers1 who both stripped him and      
inflicted blows upon him1 and went away 
leaving him half dead4 #aj3ca;,and1     
providentially1 a certain priest went   
down that way1 and seeing him passed by 
on the other side4 #aj3cb;,and in like  
manner a ,levite also1 being at the     
place1 came and saw him1 and passed by  
on the other side4  #aj3cc;,but a       
certain ,samaritan1 on a journey1 came  
where he was1 and seeing him had        
compassion on him2 #aj3cd;and he came   
and bound up his wounds1 pouring on oil 
and wine2 and putting him on his own    
beast1 brought him to a khan1 and took  
care of him4  #aj3ce;,and on the next   
day1 putting out two denarii #bh cents1 

he gave them to the khan-keeper1 and    
said1 ,take care of him1 and whatever   
you expend more1 when ,i return ,i will 
pay you4  #aj3cf,which of these three   
think you was a neighbor to him who fell
 among the robbers8 #aj3cg;,and he said1
 ,he that had mercy on him4 ,then said  
,jesus to him1 ,do you go and do        
likewise4  #c #aj3ch;,and as they were  
pursuing their journey he entered into a
 certain village4 ,and a woman by the   
name of ,martha received him into her   
house4 #aj3ci ,and she had a sister     
called ,mary1 and she sat at the feet of
 the ,lord and heard his word4          
#aj3dj;,but ,martha was distracted with 
much serving1 and came and said1 ,lord1 
do you not care that my sister has left 
me to serve alone8 ,tell her1 therefore1
 to help me4 #aj3da;,and the ,lord      
answered and said to her1 ,martha1      
,martha1 you are anxious and disturbed  
about many things1 #aj3db;but of one    
thing there is need2 and ,mary has      
chosen the good part1 which shall not be

 taken away from her4  #d #aa3a;,and as 
he was in a certain place praying1 when 
he ceased one of his disciples said to  
him1 ,lord1 teach us to pray1 as ,john  
also taught his disciples4 #aa3b;,and he
 said to them1 ,when you pray1 say1     
,father1 hallowed be thy name2 thy      
kingdom come2 #aa3c;give us daily our   
essential bread2 #aa3d;and forgive us   
our sins1 for we ourselves also forgive 
every one who is indebted to us2 and    
bring us not into trial4  #e #aa3e;,and 
he said to them1 ,which of you shall    
have a friend1 and go to him at         
midnight1 and say1 ,friend1 lend me     
three loaves1 #aa3f;for a friend of mine
 has come to me from a journey1 and ,i  
have nothing to set before him2         
#aa3g;and he will answer from within1   
and say1 ,trouble me not1 for the door  
is already shut1 and my little children 
are with me in bed1 ,i cannot arise and 
give you2 #aa3h;,i tell you if he will  
not arise and give him on account of

 as many as he needs4 #aa3i;,and ,i tell
 you1 ,ask1 and it shall be given you2

a fish give him a serpent8 #aa3abor if  
he asks also for an egg1 will give him a

out a demon1 and it was dumb4 ,and when 
the demon had gone out1 the dumb spoke2 
and the multitudes wondered4

 out demons by ,beelzebul1 the ruler of

asked of him a sign from heaven4

spirit has gone out of a man1 it passes 
through places destitute of water1      
seeking a rest2 and not finding one1    
says1 ,i will return to my house from   
which ,i came out4 #aa3be;,and coming1  
it finds it swept and adorned4          
#aa3bf,then it goes and takes seven     
other spirits more evil than itself2 and
 they come and dwell there2 and the last
 condition of that man is worse than the
 first4  #c #aa3bg;,and when he was     
saying these things1 a certain woman    
from the multitude lifted up her voice1

 nursed6  #aa3bh;,and he said1 ,yes     
indeed1 blessed are those that hear the 
word of ,god and keep it4  #d

he said1 ,this generation is an evil    
generation4 ,it seeks for a sign1 and no

 this time8 #ab3eg;,and why even of     
yourselves do you not judge what is     
right8 #ab3eh;,for when you go with your

 adversary to a ruler1 on the way labor 
to be released from him1 lest he take

were present at that time1 telling him  
of the ,galileans whose blood ,pilate   
mingled with their sacrifices4

 ,do you think those ,galileans were    
sinners above all the ,galileans1       
because they suffered such things8      
#ac3c;,i tell you1 ,no2 but unless you

parable2 ,a certain man had a fig tree  
planted in his vineyard1 and he came    
seeking fruit on it and found none4     
#ac3g;,and he said to his vine dresser1 
,behold1 ,i have come three years       
seeking fruit on this fig tree and find 
none2 cut it down2 why should it make   
the ground unproductive8 #ac3h ,and he  
answered and said to him1 ,lord1 let it 
alone this year also1 till ,i dig about 
it1 and put on manure2 #ac3i;and if it  
bears fruit1 well2 but if not1 at a     
future time you shall cut it down4  #c  
#ac3aj;,and he was teaching in one of   
the synagogues on the sabbath1 #ac3aa   
and behold1 there was a woman who had   
been subject to a spirit of infirmity   
eighteen years1 and was bent down1 and  
was not able to lift herself up at all4

 her and said1 ,woman1 you are released 

from your infirmity2 #ac3ac;and he put  
his hands on her1 and immediately she   
was made straight1 and glorified ,god4

answered1 being angry because ,jesus had
 performed a cure on the sabbath1 and   
said to the multitude1 ,there are six   
days in which you ought to work2 in     
them1 therefore1 come and be cured1 and 
not on the sabbath4 #ac3ae,then the     
,lord answered him and said1            
,hypocrites1 does not each of you on the

the same day some of the ,pharisees came
 to him1 saying1 ,go out and depart

 into the house of one of the rulers of

#ad3b;,and behold1 there was a man      
before him having the dropsy4 #ad3c;,and
 ,jesus answered and said to the lawyers
 and ,pharisees1 ,is it lawful to cure  
on the sabbath1 or not8 #ad3d;,and they 
were silent4 ,and he took and cured him1

answered and said to them1 ,if a son or

pit1 will he not immediately take him   
out on the sabbath day8 #ad3f;,and they 
could not answer to these things4  #b   
#ad3g;,and he spoke a parable to the    
invited1 when he observed how they      
selected the first places at the table2 
saying to them1 #ad3h,when you are      
invited by any one to a wedding1 do not 
sit down in the first place1 lest at    
some time a more honorable man than you 
should have been invited by him1 #ad3i  
and he that invited you and him come and
 say to you1 ,give this man a place2 and
 then with shame you take the last      
place4 #ad3aj;,but when you are invited1
 go and sit down in the last place1 that
 when he who invited you comes1 he may  
say to you1 ,friend1 go up higher2 then 
you shall have honor in the presence of

every one that exalts himself shall be  
humbled1 and he that humbles himself    
shall be exalted4  #c #ad3ab;,and he    

said also to him that had invited him1  
,when you make a breakfast1 or a supper1
 call not your friends1 nor your        
brothers1 nor your relatives1 nor your  
rich neighbors1 lest they also at some  
time invite you in return1 and a        
compensation be made to you4 #ad3ac;,but
 when you make a feast1 invite the poor1

compensated at the resurrection of the  
just4  #d #ad3ae;,and one of those      
reclining with him1 hearing these       
things1 said to him1 ,blessed is he that
 eats bread in the kingdom of ,god4     
#ad3af;,and he said to him1 ,a certain  
man made a great supper1 and invited    
many4 #ad3ag;,and he sent his servant at
 the time of the supper to say to the   
invited1 ,come1 for all things are now  
ready4 #ad3ah;,and they all with one    
consent excused themselves4 ,the first  
said to him1 ,i have bought a field and 
,i must go to see it2 ,i pray you have  

me excused4 #ad3ai;,and another said1 ,i
 have bought five yokes of oxen and ,i  
go to try them2 ,i pray you have me     
excused4 #ad3bj;,and another said1 ,i   
have married a wife1 and on this account
 ,i cannot come4 #ad3ba;,and the servant
 came and reported to his lord these    
things4 ,then the master of the house2  
being angry1 said to his servant1 ,go   
out quickly into the streets and lanes  
of the city1 and bring in hither the    
poor1 and maimed1 and blind1 and lame4  
#ad3bb;,and the servant said1 ,lord1 it 
is done as you commanded1 and yet there 
is room4  #ad3bc;,and the ,lord said to 
the servant1 ,go out into the ways and  
along the hedges1 and compel them to    
come in1 that my house may be filled2   
#ad3bd;for ,i tell you that none of     
those men that were invited shall taste 
of my supper4  #e #ad3be;,and great     
multitudes were travelling with him2 and
 turning around he said to them1        
#ad3bf;,if any one comes to me1 and     
hates not his father1 and mother1 and

house1 he calls together his friends and
 neighbors1 saying1 ,congratulate me2   
for ,i have found my sheep that was     
lost4 #ae3g,so1 ,i tell you1 there shall
 be joy in heaven over one sinner that

 it1 she calls her female friends and

,congratulate me1 for ,i have found the 
drachma which ,i lost4 #ae3aj,so1 ,i    
tell you1 there is joy before the angels
 of ,god over one sinner that changes   
his mind4  #c #ae3aa;,and he said1 ,a   
certain man had two sons4 #ae3ab;,and   
the youngest of them said to the father1
 ,father1 give me the portion of the    
estate that falls to me2 and he divided 
to them his living4 #ae3ac;,and not many
 days after1 the youngest son1          
collecting all his property1 went abroad
 to a distant country2 and there wasted 
his property1 living intemperately4     
#ae3ad;,and when he had spent all1 there

 was a severe famine in that country2   
and he began to be in want4 #ae3ae;,and 
he went and attached himself to one of  
the citizens of that country2 and he    
sent him into his field to feed swine4  
#ae3af;,and he desired to fill his      
stomach with the carob pods which the   
swine eat2 and no man gave him4  #d     
#ae3ag;,and coming to himself1 he said1 
,how many hired servants of my father   
abound in bread1 but ,i perish here with
 hunger6  #ae3ah;,i will arise and go to
 my father1 and say to him1 ,father1 ,i 
have sinned to ,heaven1 and before you2

and came to his father4 ,but while he   
was yet far off1 his father saw him1 and
 had compassion on him1 and ran and fell
 on his neck1 and kissed him4           
#ae3ba;,and the son said to him1        
,father1 ,i have sinned to ,heaven1 and 
before you2 ,i am no longer worthy to be

 said to his servants1 ,bring out the

 on his hand1 and sandals on his feet2

kill it2 let us eat1 and rejoice2       
#ae3bd;for this my son was dead1 and is 
alive again2 he was lost1 and is found4 
,and they began to rejoice4  #e         
#ae3be;,but his older son was in the    
field2 and when he came and approached  
the house he heard music and the        
dancers4 #ae3bf;,and calling one of the 
servants he inquired what these things  
meant4  #ae3bg;,and he said to him1     
,your brother has come2 and your father 
has killed the fatted calf1 because he  
has received him back in health4        
#ae3bh;,and he was angry1 and would not 
go in2 but his father came out and      
entreated him4 #ae3bi;,and he answered  
and said to his father1 ,behold1 ,i have
 served you so many years1 and have     
never disobeyed your command2 and you   
have never given me a kid1 that ,i might
 rejoice with my friends2 #ae3cj;but    

when this your son came who has consumed
 his living with harlots1 you killed for
 him the fatted calf4 #ae3ca;,but he    
said to him1 ,son1 you are always with

 said to the disciples1 ,there was a    
certain rich man that had a steward2 and
 he was accused to him of wasting his

said to him1 ,what is this which ,i hear
 of you8 ,render an account of your

within himself1 ,what shall ,i do1

away from me8 ,i am not strong enough to

hundred cors #a1dde bushels of wheat4

praised the unjust steward1 because he  
did wisely2 for the children of this

#ag3ag;,and ,jesus answered and said to 
him1 ,were there not ten cleansed8 but  
where are the nine8 #ag3ah,there are not

 found returning to give glory to ,god  
any but this stranger4 #ag3ai;,and he   
said to him1 ,arise and go2 your faith  
has cured you4  #d #ag3bj;,and being    
asked by the ,pharisees when the kingdom
 of ,god comes1 he answered them and    
said1 ,the kingdom of ,god comes not    
with observation2 #ag3ba neither shall  
they say1 ,behold here6  or1 there6 for 
behold1 the kingdom of ,god is within   
you4  #ag3bb;,and he said to the        
disciples1 ,the days will come when you 
shall desire to see one of the days of  
the ,son of man1 and shall not see it4  
#ag3bc;,and they shall say to you1      
,behold there6  behold here6 go not     
away1 nor follow them4 #ag3bd;,for as   
the lightning flashing from one part    
under heaven shines to another part     
under heaven1 so shall the ,son of man  
be in his day4 #ag3be;,but first he must
 suffer many things1 and be rejected by 
this generation4 #ag3bf;,and as it was  
in the days of ,noah1 so shall it be    
also in the days of the ,son of man4    

#ag3bg,they eat1 they drank1 they       
married1 they were married1 till the day
 that ,noah entered into the ark1 and   
the flood came and destroyed all4       
#ag3bh;,in like manner also as it was in
 the days of ,lot2 they eat1 drank1     
bought1 sold1 planted1 built2 #ag3bi;but
 on the day that ,lot went out of ,sodom
 it rained fire and sulphur from heaven1
 and destroyed all2 #ag3cjso shall it be
 in the day when the ,son of man is     
revealed4  #e #ag3ca;,in that day let   
not him that shall be on the house1 and 
his furniture in the house1 come down to
 take it away2 and in like manner let   
not him in the field turn back for      
things which are behind2 #ag3cbremember

answered and said to him1 ,where1 ,lord8
 ,and he said to them1 ,where the body  
is1 there will the eagles be gathered   
together4    ,,chapter ,,xxiii4  ,,the  
,,parable ,,of ,,the ,,unjust ,,judge1  
,,infants1 ,,and ,,the ,,way ,,of       
,,salvation4  #a #ah3a;,,and he spoke   
also a parable to them1 that men ought  
to pray at all times1 and not to faint2 
#ah3bsaying1 ,there was a certain judge 
in a certain city1 who feared not ,god  
and regarded not man4 #ah3c;,and there  
was a widow in that city1 and she came  
to him1 saying1 ,give me judgment       
against my adversary4 #ah3d;,and he     
would not for a time2 but afterwards he 
said within himself1 ,though ,i fear not
 ,god and regard not man1 #ah3eyet      
because this widow makes me trouble ,i  
will give her judgment1 that she may not
 vex me by her continual coming4        
#ah3f;,and the ,lord said1 ,hear what   
the unjust judge says4 #ah3g;,and will  
not ,god execute the judgment of his    
elect1 who cry day and night to him1    

even though he waits long on them8      
#ah3h;,i tell you1 he will execute their
 judgment speedily4 ,but when the ,son  
of man comes will he find faith on the  
earth8  #b #ah3i;,and he also spoke this
 parable to some who trusted in         
themselves that they were righteous1 and
 despised others3 #ah3aj,two men went up
 to the temple to pray2 one a ,pharisee1
 and the other a publican4 #ah3aa,the   
,pharisee1 standing by himself1 offered 
this prayer2 ,god1 ,i thank thee that ,i
 am not as other men1 rapacious1 unjust1
 adulterers1 or even as this publican2  
#ah3ab;,i fast twice a week2 ,i tithe   
all ,i acquire4 #ah3ac;,and the         
publican1 standing afar off1 would not  
lift up his eyes to heaven1 but smote on
 his breast1 saying1 ,god1 be propitious
 to me a sinner4 #ah3ad;,i tell you this
 man went down to his house justified   
rather than that2 for every one that    
exalts himself shall be humbled1 and he 
that humbles himself shall be exalted4  
#c #ah3ae;,and they brought him also    

infants1 that he should touch them2 and 
the disciples seeing it reproved them4  
#ah3af;,but ,jesus calling them1 said1  
,suffer the little children to come to  
me1 and forbid them not2 for of such is 
the kingdom of ,god4 #ah3ag;,i tell you 
truly1 that whoever receives not the    
kingdom of ,god as a little child1 shall
 by no means enter into it4  #d         
#ah3ah;,and a certain ruler asked him1  
saying1 ,good teacher1 what shall ,i do 
to inherit eternal life8 #ah3ai;,and    
,jesus said to him1 ,why do you call me 
good8 ,there is none good but one1 ,god4
  #ah3bj,you know the commandments2 ,you
 shall not commit adultery1 ,you shall  
not kill1 ,you shall not steal1 ,you    
shall not testify falsely1 ,honor your  
father and your mother4 #ah3ba;,and he  
said1 ,all these have ,i kept from my   
youth4 #ah3bb;,and ,jesus hearing it1   
said to him1 ,one thing you yet want2   
sell all that you have1 and distribute  
to the poor1 and you shall have a       
treasure in heaven1 and come1 follow me4

 #ah3bc;,and when he heard these things 
he was sad2 for he was very rich4       
#ah3bd;,and ,jesus seeing him1 said1    
,with what difficulty do those who have 
riches enter into the kingdom of ,god6  
#ah3be;,it is easier for a camel to     
enter through the eye of a needle1 than 
for a rich man to enter into the kingdom
 of ,god4 #ah3bf;,and those hearing him1
 said1 ,and who can be saved8           
#ah3bg;,and he said1 ,things impossible 
with man are possible with ,god4  #e    
#ah3bh;,and ,peter said1 ,behold1 we    
have left our property and followed you4
 #ah3bi;,and he said to them1 ,i tell   
you truly1 that there is no one who has 
left a house1 or wife1 or brothers1 or  
parents1 or children1 on account of the 
kingdom of ,god1 #ah3cjwho shall not

,behold1 we go up to ,jerusalem2 and all
 things written by the prophets         
concerning the ,son of man will be

they did not perceive what was said4  #b
 #ah3ce;,and when they came nigh to

 meant4 #ah3cg;,and they told him1      
,jesus the ,nazoraean is passing by4

him to be still2 but he cried much more1

 ,son of ,david1 have mercy on me4      
#ah3dj;,and ,jesus stopping1 commanded  
him to be brought to him4 ,and when he  
came near he asked him1 #ah3dasaying1   
,what do you wish me to do for you8 ,and
 he said1 ,lord1 that ,i may receive my 
sight4 #ah3db;,and ,jesus said to him1  
,receive your sight2 your faith has     
cured you4 #ah3dc;,and he immediately   
received his sight1 and followed him1   
glorifying ,god2 and all the people     
seeing it gave praise to ,god4  #c

passed through it4 #ai3b;,and behold1   
there was a man called ,zaccheus1 and he
 was chief publican1 and was rich4 #ai3c
 ,and he sought to see ,jesus1 who he   
was2 and could not on account of the    
multitude1 because he was of small      
stature4 #ai3d;,and running before1 he  
went up on a sycamore that he might see 
him2 for he was to pass by it4          
#ai3e;,and when he came to the place1   
,jesus looking up saw him1 and said to  
him1 ,zaccheus1 make haste and come     

down1 for to-day ,i must stop at your   
house2 #ai3f;and he made haste and came 
down1 and received him rejoicing4

complained1 saying1 ,he has gone in to  
stop with a sinner4  #d #ai3h;,and      
,zaccheus stood up and said to the      
,lord1 ,behold1 half of my property1    
,lord1 ,i give to the poor2 and if ,i   
have defrauded any one of any thing1 ,i 
restore fourfold4 #ai3i;,and ,jesus said
 to him1 ,to-day has salvation come to  
this house1 because he also is a son of 
,abraham2 #ai3aj;for the ,son of man has
 come to seek and save the lost4  #e    
#ai3aa;,and when they were hearing these
 things1 he added and spoke a parable1  
because he was nigh ,jerusalem2 and they
 thought that the kingdom of ,god was   
immediately to appear4 #ai3ab;,he said1 
therefore1 ,a certain nobleman went into
 a distant country to receive a kingdom 
for himself1 and to return4 #ai3ac;,and 
calling his ten servants1 he gave them  
ten minas #afc4cj1 and said to them1    

,use them in business till ,i come4

sent an embassy after him1 saying1 ,we  
wish not this man to reign over us4

 the kingdom1 and ordered those servants
 to be called to him to whom he had     
given the money1 that he might know what
 each one had done4  #f #ai3af;,and the 
first came1 saying1 ,lord1 your mina

 five cities4 #ai3bj;,and the other     
came1 saying1 ,lord1 behold your mina1  
which ,i had laid up in a napkin2       
#ai3ba;for ,i feared you1 because you   
are an austere man2 you take up what you
 laid not down1 and reap what you did   
not sow4 #ai3bb;,he said to him1 ,out of
 your mouth will ,i judge you1 evil

 man1 taking up what ,i laid not down1

 on the broker's table1 and when ,i came
 ,i should have had the same1 with

standing by1 ,take from him the mina1

 called the ,mount of ,olives1 he sent  
two of the disciples1 #ai3cjsaying1 ,go 

into the village opposite to you1 and   
having entered into it you will find a  
colt tied1 on which no man ever sat2    
untie and bring him2 #ai3ca;and if any  
one asks you1 ,why do you untie him8

 him4 #ai3cb;,and those sent1 going1    
found as he said to them4  #ai3cc;,and  
untying the colt1 his owners said to    
them1 ,why do you untie the colt8       
#ai3cd;,and they said1 ,the ,lord has   
need of him4  #ai3ce;,and they brought  
him to ,jesus2 and spreading their      
clothes on the colt they put ,jesus on  
him4 #ai3cf;,and as he proceeded they   
spread their clothes in the way4        
#ai3cg;,and when he was now approaching1
 at the descent of the ,mount of        
,olives1 all the multitude of the

mighty works which they saw1

comes in the name of the ,lord2 peace be
 in heaven1 and glory in the highest

him1 ,teacher1 rebuke your disciples4

them1 ,i tell you that if these should  
be silent the stones would cry out4  #b

the city he wept over it1 #ai3db saying1
 ,o1 that you had known1 even you1 and

you on every side1 #ai3dd;and destroy   
you and your children with you1 and not 
leave stone upon stone in you2 because  
you knew not the time of your

sought to destroy him4 #ai3dh;,and they 
found nothing that they could do2 for

 he was teaching the people in the

the chief priests and scribes1 with the

to him saying1 ,tell us by what         
authority you do these things8 and who  
gave you this authority8 #bj3c;,and he  
answered and said to them1 ,i also will 
ask you a question2 and tell me1        
#bj3d,was the baptism of ,john from     
heaven1 or from men8 #bj3e;,and they    
reasoned with themselves1 saying1 ,if we
 say1 ,from heaven1 he will say1 ,why   
did you not believe him8 #bj3f;,but if  
we say1 ,from men1 all the people will  
stone us2 for they are persuaded that   

,john is a prophet4 #bj3g;,and they     
answered1 ,they did not know whence4    
#bj3h;,and ,jesus said to them1 ,neither
 do ,i tell you by what authority ,i do 
these things4  #b #bj3i;,and he spoke to
 the people this parable2 ,a man planted
 a vineyard1 and let it out to          
husbandmen1 and went abroad for a long  
time4 #bj3aj;,and at the time he sent to
 the husbandmen a servant1 that they    
should give him of the fruit of the     
vineyard2 and the husbandmen beat him1  
and sent him away empty4 #bj3aa ,and    
again he sent another servant2 and they 
beat him1 and treated him shamefully1   
and sent him away empty4 #bj3ab;,and    
again he sent a third2 and they wounded 
him1 and cast him out4 #bj3ac;,and the  
lord of the vineyard said1 ,what shall  
,i do8 ,i will send my beloved son2     
doubtless1 when they see him they will  
respect him4  #bj3ad;,but seeing him1   
the husbandmen reasoned with themselves1
 saying1 ,this is the heir2 let us kill 
him1 that the inheritance may be ours4  

#bj3ae;,and they cast him out of the    
vineyard1 and killed him4 ,what1        
therefore1 will the lord of the vineyard
 do to them8 #bj3af;,he will come and   
destroy those husbandmen1 and let the   
vineyard to others4 ,and hearing this1  
they said1 ,by no means4 #bj3ag;,and he 
looked at them and said1 ,what1 then1 is
 this which is written8 ,the stone which
 the builders rejected has become the   
head of a corner2 #bj3ah;every one that 
falls on that stone shall be bruised2   
but on whomsoever it shall fall it shall
 crush him to atoms4 #bj3ai;,and the    
scribes and chief priests sought to lay 
hands on him at that time2 and they     
feared the people2 for they knew that he
 spoke this parable to them4  #c        
#bj3bj;,and they sent spies to watch    
him1 who pretended to be righteous men1 
that they might take advantage of his   
speech1 to deliver him to the power and 
authority of the procurator4            
#bj3ba;,and they asked him saying1      
,teacher1 we know that you speak and    

teach correctly1 and respect no person1 
but teach the way of ,god in truth4     
#bj3bb;,is it lawful for us to pay      
tribute to ,caesar1 or not8 #bj3bc;,and 
perceiving their craftiness1 he said to 
them1 #bj3bd,show me a denarius #ad     
cents4 ,whose figure and inscription has
 it8 ,and they answered and said1       
,caesar's4  #bj3be;,and he said to them1
 ,render therefore ,caesar's dues to    
,caesar1 and ,god's to ,god4 #bj3bf;,and
 they were not able to take advantage of
 his word before the people2 and they   
wondered at his answer1 and were silent4
  #d #bj3bg;,and some of the ,sadducees 
came forward1 who deny that there is a  
resurrection1 and asked him1            
#bj3bhsaying1 ,teacher1 ,moses wrote to 
us1 that if one's brother dies1 having a
 wife1 and dies childless1 his brother  
shall take his wife and raise up        
children for his brother4 #bj3bi,there  
were1 therefore1 seven brothers2 and the
 first took a wife1 and died childless2 
#bj3cj;and the second and third took    

her2 #bj3ca;and in like manner also the 
seven2 and they left no children1 and   
died4  #bj3cb;,and last1 the woman died 
also4 #bj3cc;,in the resurrection1      
therefore1 which of them has her for a  
wife8 for the seven had her for a wife4 
#bj3cd;,and ,jesus said to them1 ,the   
children of this life marry and are     
married2 #bj3ce;but those who are judged
 worthy to attain that life1 and the    
resurrection of the dead1 neither marry 
nor are married2 #bj3cfneither can they 
die any more2 for they are equal to the 
angels1 and are sons of ,god1 being sons
 of the resurrection4 #bj3cg;,but that  
the dead are raised1 even ,moses showed 
at the bush1 when he called the ,lord1  
,the ,god of ,abraham1 and ,god of      
,isaac1 and ,god of ,jacob4  #bj3ch;,but
 ,god is not a ,god of the dead1 but of 
the living2 for all live to him4        
#bj3ci;,and some of the scribes answered
 and said1 ,teacher1 you have spoken    
well4 #bj3dj;,and they dared not        
question him any more4  #e #bj3da;,and  

he said to them1 ,how do they say that  
the ,christ is the son of ,david8       
#bj3db;,and ,david himself says in the  
book of ,psalms1 ,the ,lord said to my  
,lord1 ,sit on my right hand1 #bj3dctill
 ,i make your enemies your footstool4   
#bj3dd;,david1 therefore1 calls him     
,lord2 and how is he his son8  #f

people he said to them1 #bj3df;,beware  
of the scribes1 who delight to walk in  
long robes1 and love salutations in the 
markets1 and the first seats in the     
synagogues1 and the first places at     
feasts2 #bj3dgwho devour widows' houses1
 and for a pretence make long prayers2

#g #ba3a;,and looking up he saw the rich
 casting their gifts into the treasury4 
#ba3b;,and he saw also a certain poor   
widow cast in there two lepta #d mills4 
#ba3c;,and he said1 ,i tell you truly1  
that this poor widow has cast in more   
than all2 #ba3d;for all these have cast 
among the gifts from their abundance2

#ba3f;,as to these things which you see1
 the days will come in which stone shall
 not be left upon stone that shall not

him1 saying1 ,teacher1 when then shall  
these things be8 and what sign shall    
there be1 when these things are about to

pestilences2 and there shall also be

things they shall lay their hands on    
you1 and persecute you1 committing you  
to synagogues and prisons1 to be brought
 before kings and governors on my       
account2 #ba3ac;and it shall result to  
you for a testimony4 #ba3ad,settle it in
 your minds1 therefore1 not to          
premeditate what defense you shall make1

 wisdom which all your enemies shall not
 be able to resist or dispute4

 ,jerusalem surrounded with encampments1

 then know that its desolation is at    
hand4 #ba3ba,then let those in ,judea   
flee to the mountains2 and those in the 
midst of it depart out of it2 and let   
those in country places not enter into  
it4 #ba3bb;,for these are days of       
judgment1 that all things which are     
written may be fully accomplished4      
#ba3bc;,but woe to those with child1 and
 having children at the breast in those 
days2 for there shall be great distress 
on the earth1 and wrath against this    
people4 #ba3bd;,and they shall fall by  
the edge of the sword1 and be carried   
away captive to all nations1 and        
,jerusalem shall be trodden down by     
gentiles1 till the times of gentiles are
 fully accomplished4  #d #ba3be;,and    
there shall be signs in the sun1 and    
moon1 and stars2 and on the earth       
distress of nations1 with perplexity at 
the roaring of the sea and waves1       
#ba3bfmen dying with fear and an        
expectation of evils to come on the     
world2 for the hosts of the heavens     

shall be shaken4 #ba3bg;,and then shall 
they see the ,son of man coming in a    
cloud with power and great glory4       
#ba3bh,when these things begin to occur1
 arise and lift up your heads1 for your 
redemption is near4  #e #ba3bi;,and he  
spoke to them a parable2 ,see the fig   
tree and all the trees2 #ba3cjwhen they 
now put forth1 observing you know of    
yourselves that summer already is nigh2 
#ba3caso1 also1 when you see all these  
things occur1 know that the kingdom of  
,god is nigh4  #ba3cb;,i tell you truly1
 that this generation shall by no means 
pass away till all these things are     
accomplished4 #ba3cc ,heaven and earth  
shall pass away1 but my words shall not 
pass away4  #ba3cd,take heed to         
yourselves1 that your hearts be not     
oppressed with revelling and            
drunkenness1 and worldly cares1 and that
 day come upon you suddenly2 #ba3ce;for 
it shall come like a snare on all who   
live on the face of the whole earth4    
#ba3cf;,but watch continually1 praying  

that you may be accounted worthy to     
escape all these things which are about 
to occur1 and to stand before the ,son  
of man4  #f #ba3cg;,and he taught during
 the days in the temple1 and went out   
and spent the nights on the mountain    
called the ,mount of ,olives4           
#ba3ch;,and all the people came early to
 him in the temple to hear him4         
,,chapter ,,xxviii4  ,,judas ,,agrees   
,,to ,,betray ,,his ,,master1 ,,the     
,,last ,,supper1 ,,ambition             
,,discouraged1 ,,the ,,disciples        
,,warned4  #a #bb3a;,,and the feast of  
unleavened bread approached1 called the 
passover4 #bb3b;,and the chief priests  
and scribes sought how they might       
destroy him1 for they feared the people4
 #bb3c;,and ,satan entered into ,judas1 
called ,iscariot1 who was of the number 
of the twelve2 #bb3d;and he went and    
conferred with the chief priests and    
commanders as to how he might deliver   
him to them4 #bb3e;,and they were glad1 
and agreed to give him money4 #bb3f;,and

 he promised1 and sought a convenient   
opportunity to betray him to them in the
 absence of the people4  #b #bb3g;,and  
the day of unleavened bread came1 in    
which it was necessary to kill the      
paschal lamb4 #bb3h;,and he sent ,peter 
and ,john1 saying1 ,go1 prepare for us  
the passover1 that we may eat4          
#bb3i;,and they said to him1 ,where do  
you wish us to prepare8  #bb3aj;,and he 
said to them1 ,behold1 as you enter into
 the city1 a man will meet you1 bearing 
an earthen vessel of water2 follow him  
into the house where he enters1         
#bb3aa;and say to the master of the     
house1 ,the teacher says to you1 where  
is the public room in which ,i may eat  
the passover with my disciples8         
#bb3ab;,and he will show you a large    
upper room furnished2 there prepare4    
#bb3ac;,and they went and found as he   
had said to them and prepared the       
passover4  #c #bb3ad;,and when the hour 
had come1 he sat down1 and the apostles 
with him2 #bb3ae;and he said to them1 ,i

 have greatly desired to eat this       
passover with you before ,i suffer2     
#bb3af;for ,i tell you that ,i will eat 
it no more till it is fulfilled in the  
kingdom of ,god4 #bb3ag;,and taking a   
cup1 he gave thanks1 and said1 ,take    
this and divide it among you2 #bb3ah;for
 ,i tell you that ,i will not drink of  
the product of the vine1 till the       
kingdom of ,god has come4 #bb3ai ,and   
taking bread1 and giving thanks1 he     
broke and gave them1 saying1 ,this is my
 body given for you2 this do in         
remembrance of me4 #bb3bj;,and the cup  
in like manner1 after supper1 saying1   
,this cup is the new covenant sealed    
with my blood1 which is poured out for  
you4 #bb3ba;,but behold1 the hand of the
 traitor is with me on the table2       
#bb3bb;for the ,son of man goes as it   
has been determined1 but woe to that man
 by whom he is betrayed4 #bb3bc;,and    
they inquired among themselves which of 
them it was who was about to do this4   
#d #bb3bd;,and there was a contention   

among them as to which of them should be
 the greatest4 #bb3be;,and he said to   
them1 ,the kings of the nations exercise
 lordship over them2 and those having   
power are called their benefactors4     
#bb3bf ,but you shall not be so4 ,but   
let the greater among you be as the     
younger1 and the chief as he that       
serves4 #bb3bg;,for which is greater1 he
 that reclines1 or he that serves8 ,is  
not he that reclines8 ,but ,i am with   
you as he that serves4 #bb3bh;,and you  
have continued with me in my trials1    
#bb3bi;and ,i appoint you1 as my ,father
 has appointed me1 a kingdom1 #bb3cjthat
 you may eat and drink at my table1 in  
my kingdom1 and sit on thrones1 judging 
the twelve tribes of ,israel4  #e       
#bb3ca,simon1 ,simon1 behold1 ,satan has
 desired you1 to sift like wheat2       
#bb3cb;but ,i have prayed for you1 that 
your faith may not entirely fail2 and   
when you recover yourself1 confirm your 
brothers4 #bb3cc;,and he said to him1   
,lord1 ,i am ready to go with you to    

prison and to death4 #bb3cd;,and he     
said1 ,i tell you1 ,peter1 a cock shall 
not crow today1 before you shall deny   
thrice that you know me4  #f #bb3ce;,and
 he said to them1 ,when ,i sent you out 
without a purse1 and provision sack1 and
 sandals1 did you want any thing8  ,and 
they said1 ,nothing4 #bb3cf,then he said
 to them1 ,but now let him that has a   
purse take it1 and a provision sack     
likewise2 and he that has not a sword1  
let him sell his cloak and buy one4     
#bb3cg;,for ,i tell you1 that this which
 is written must be fully accomplished  
in me1 ,and he was numbered with        
transgressors2 for also the things      
concerning me have an end4 #bb3ch;,and  
they said1 ,lord1 behold1 here are two  
swords4 ,and he said to them1 ,it is    
sufficient4    ,,chapter ,,xxix4        
,,christ ,,in ,,gethsemane ,,and        
,,before ,,the ,,sanhedrim4  #a         
#bb3ci;,,and going out1 he went1        
according to his custom to the ,mount of
 ,olives2 and the disciples followed    

him4 #bb3dj;,and arriving at the place1 
he said to them1 ,pray that you may not 
enter into trial4 #bb3da;,and he        
withdrew from them about a stone's      
throw1 and kneeling down1 prayed1       
#bb3dbsaying1 ,father1 if thou wilt1    
take this cup away from me2 but not my  
will1 but thine be done4 #bb3dc;,and an 
angel appeared to him from heaven1      
strengthening him4 #bb3dd;,and being in 
agony1 he prayed more earnestly2 and his
 sweat was like large drops of blood    
falling down to the ground4 #bb3de;,and 
rising from prayer1 and coming to the   
disciples1 he found them sleeping from  
grief1 #bb3df;and he said to them1 ,why 
do you sleep8 ,arise1 and pray that you 
may not enter into trial4  #b           
#bb3dg;,and while he was yet speaking1  
behold a multitude1 and he that was     
called ,judas1 one of the twelve1 came  
before them1 and he approached ,jesus to
 kiss him4 #bb3dh;,but ,jesus said to   
him1 ,judas1 do you betray the ,son of  
man with a kiss8 #bb3di;,and those about

 him seeing what was about to occur1    
said1 ,lord1 shall we strike with the   
sword8 #bb3ej;,and one of them struck   
the servant of the chief priest1 and    
took off his right ear4  #bb3ea;,but    
,jesus answered and said1 ,suffer even  
this2 and touching his ear he healed    
him4 #bb3eb;,and ,jesus said to the     
chief priests1 and commanders of the    
temple1 and elders who came against him1
 ,have you come with swords and clubs1  
as against a robber8 #bb3ec ,when ,i was
 daily with you in the temple you       
stretched not out your hands upon me but
 this is your hour1 and the power of    
darkness4  #c #bb3ed;,and apprehending  
him1 they led him away1 and conducted   
him to the house of the chief priest2   
and ,peter followed at a distance4      
#bb3ee;,and they having kindled a fire  
in the midst of the court1 and sat down1
 ,peter sat in the midst of them4       
#bb3ef;,and a certain female servant    
seeing him sitting by the light1 and    
looking steadily at him1 said1 ,this man

 also was with him4 #bb3eg ,but he      
denied him1 saying1 ,i do not know him1 
woman4  #bb3eh;,and after a little1     
another seeing him1 said1 ,you also are 
one of them4 ,but ,peter said1 ,man1 ,i 
am not4 #bb3ei;,and about an hour       
intervening1 another strongly affirmed1 
saying1 ,certainly1 this man was also   
with him2 for he is also a ,galilean4   
#bb3fj;,but ,peter said1 ,man1 ,i know  
not what you say4 ,and immediately1     
while he was yet speaking1 a cock crew4 
#bb3fa;,and the ,lord turned and looked 
at ,peter2 and ,peter was reminded of   
the ,lord's word1 that he said to him1  
,before a cock crows to-day you shall   
deny me thrice2 #bb3fb;and going out1   
,peter wept bitterly4  #d #bb3fc;,and   
the men having him in custody mocked    
him1 beating him2 #bb3fd;and            
blindfolding him they asked him1 saying1
 ,prophecy who it is that struck you8   
#bb3fe;,and they reviled him with many  
other words4  #e #bb3ff;,and when it was
 day1 the eldership of the people1 and  

the chief priests1 and scribes were     
assembled1 and they brought him into    
their sanhedrim1 saying1 #bb3fg;,if you 
are the ,christ1 tell us8 ,and he said  
to them1 ,if ,i tell you you will not   
believe2 #bb3fh;and if ,i ask you will  
not answer4 #bb3fi;,but from this time  
the ,son of man will sit on the right   
hand of the power of ,god4 #bb3gj;,and  
they all said1 ,are you the ,son of ,god
 then8 ,and he said to them1 ,i am as   
you say4 #bb3ga;,and they said1 ,what   
further need have we of testimony8 for  
we ourselves have heard from his mouth4 
,,chapter ,,xxx4  ,,christ ,,before     
,,pilate ,,and ,,herod1 ,,his           
,,condemnation4  #a #bc3a;,,and all the 
multitude arose and led him to ,pilate4 
#bc3b;,and they accused him1 saying1 ,we
 have found this man perverting our     
nation1 and forbidding to pay tribute to
 ,caesar1 saying that he is an anointed 
king4 #bc3c ,and ,pilate asked him1     
saying1 ,are you the king of the ,jews8 
,and he answered and said to him1 ,as   

you say4 #bc3d;,and ,pilate said to the 
chief priests1 and the multitudes1 ,i   
find no fault with this man4 #bc3e;,and 
they were more violent1 saying1 ,he     
excites the people1 teaching in all     
,judea1 beginning from ,galilee even to 
this place4 #bc3f;,and ,pilate hearing  
of ,galilee asked if the man was a      
,galilean4  #bc3g;,and learning that he 
was of the province of ,herod1 he sent  
him to ,herod1 who was himself also at  
,jerusalem in those days4  #b #bc3h;,and
 when ,herod saw ,jesus he was much     
pleased2 for he had wished for a long   
time to see him1 because he had beard   
about him1 and he hoped to see some     
miracle performed by him4 #bc3i;,and he 
questioned him with many words2 but he  
answered him nothing4  #bc3aj;,and the  
chief priests and scribes stood up1     
violently accusing him4 #bc3aa;,and     
,herod1 with his soldiers1 treated him  
with contempt1 and mocked him1 and put  
on him a splendid garment1 and sent him 
back to ,pilate4 #bc3ab;,and ,pilate and

 ,herod became friends to each other on 
that day2 for they had before been      
enemies to each other4  #c #bc3ac;,and  
,pilate having called the chief priests1
 and rulers1 and the people1 #bc3adsaid 
to them1 ,you have brought me this man  
as one that perverts the people2 and    
behold1 having had an examination before
 you1 ,i have found in this man no cause
 for the charges which you bring against
 him1 #bc3ae;but neither has ,herod1 for
 ,i sent you to him1 and behold1 nothing
 worthy of death has been done by him2  
#bc3af;having chastised him therefore1  
,i will release him4 #bc3ah;,and the    
whole multitude cried out1 saying1 ,take
 away this man1 and release to us       
,barabbas2 #bc3aiwho had been cast into 
prison for a certain sedition made in   
the city1 and a murder4  #d             
#bc3bj,pilate therefore addressed them  
again1 wishing to release ,jesus2       
#bc3ba;but they replied1 saying1        
,crucify him1 crucify him4 #bc3bb;,and  
he said to them a third time1 ,why1 for 

what evil has this man done8 ,i have    
found no cause of death in him2 having  
chastised him therefore1 ,i will release
 him4  #bc3bc;,and they beset him with  
loud cries1 demanding that he should be 
crucified2 and their cries1 and those of
 the chief priests1 prevailed2 #bc3bd   
and ,pilate answered1 that their demand 
should be granted4 #bc3be;,and he       
released him that was cast into prison  
for sedition and murder1 whom they      
desired1 and delivered up ,jesus to     
their will4    ,,chapter ,,xxxi4        
,,christ',s ,,crucifixion1 ,,death1     
,,and ,,burial4  #a #bc3bf;,,and when   
they led him away1 they took ,simon1 a  
certain ,cyrenian1 coming from the      
country1 and put on him the cross to    
bear after ,jesus4 #bc3bg ,and there    
followed him a great multitude of the   
people1 and of women2 and they bewailed 
and lamented him4 #bc3bh;,and turning to
 them1 ,jesus said1 ,daughters of       
,jerusalem1 weep not for me1 but weep   
for yourselves1 and for your children4  

#bc3bi;,for behold1 days come in which  
they shall say1 ,blessed are the barren1
 and those who have not borne children1 
and the breasts which have not nursed   
them6 #bc3cj,then shall they say to the 
mountains1 ,fall on us2 and to the      
hills1 ,cover us2 #bc3ca;for if they do 
these things with the green tree1 what  
shall be done with the dry8 #bc3cb;,and 
two other criminals were led out to be  
put to death with him4  #b #bc3cc;,and  
when they arrived at the place called   
,cranium1 there they crucified him1 and 
the criminals2 one on his right hand1   
and the other on his left4 #bc3cd;,and  
,jesus said1 ,father1 forgive them1 for 
they know not what they do4 ,and        
distributing his garments they cast lots
 for them4 #bc3ce;,and the people stood 
beholding4 ,and the rulers also scoffed1
 saying1 ,he saved others2 if this is   
the ,christ1 the elect of ,god1 let him 
save himself4  #bc3cf;,and the soldiers 
also mocked him1 and came and presented 
him vinegar1 #bc3cg;and said1 ,if you   

are the king of the ,jews1 save         
yourself4 #bc3ch;,and there was an      
inscription over him2 ,,this ,,is ,,the 
,,king ,,of ,,the ,,jews4  #c           
#bc3ci;,and one of the criminals        
crucified1 reviled him1 saying1 ,are you
 not the ,christ8 save yourself and us4 
#bc3dj;,but the other answered and      
rebuked him1 and said1 ,do you not fear 
,god1 since you are under the same      
sentence8 #bc3da;and we indeed justly1  
for we receive the desert of our doings2
 but this man has done nothing amiss4   
#bc3db;,and he said1 ,jesus1 remember me
 when you come in your kingdom4         
#bc3dc;,and he said to him1 ,i tell you 
truly1 to-day you shall be with me in   
paradise4  #d #bc3dd;,and it was now    
about the sixth hour noon2 and there was
 a darkness over all the land till the  
ninth hour #c ,p4,m44  #bc3de;,and the  
sun was obscured2 and the vail in the   
midst of the temple was rent in two4    
#bc3df;,and ,jesus crying with a loud   
voice1 said1 ,father1 into thy hands ,i 

commit my spirit2 and having said this1 
he expired4 #bc3dg;,and the centurion   
seeing what was done1 glorified ,god1   
saying1 ,truly this was a righteous man4
 #bc3dh;,and all the multitudes who had 
come together to this spectacle1        
beholding what was done1 returned       
beating their breasts4 #bc3di;,and all  
his friends stood at a distance1 and the
 women who had followed him from        
,galilee1 seeing these things4  #e      
#bc3ej;,and behold1 a man by the name of
 ,joseph1 a counsellor1 a good and      
righteous man1 #bc3eathis man had not   
consented to their design and doing1 he 
was from ,arimathea1 a city of the      
,jews1 and he expected the kingdom of   
,god4 #bc3eb,this man coming to ,pilate 
asked for the body of ,jesus2 #bc3ec;and
 taking it down1 he wrapped it in linen1
 and laid it in a tomb cut out of a     
rock1 in which no man had yet been laid4
 #bc3ed;,and the day was the            
preparation2 the sabbath was dawning4   
,,chapter ,,xxxii4  ,,christ ,,after    

,,his ,,resurrection4  #a #bc3ee;,,and  
women following him who had come up with
 him from ,galilee saw the tomb1 and how
 his body was laid4 #bc3ef;,and they    
returned and prepared spices and        
ointments1 and rested on the sabbath1   
according to the commandment4  #b       
#bd3a;,and on the first day of the week1
 early in the morning1 they came to the 
tomb bringing the spices which they had 
prepared4 #bd3b;,and they found the     
stone rolled away from the tomb2        
#bd3c;and entering1 found not the body4 
#bd3d ,and while they were in doubt     
about this1 behold1 two men stood by    
them in shining clothing4 #bd3e;,and the
 women being afraid1 and bowing their   
faces to the earth1 they said to them1  
,why do you seek the living with the    
dead8 #bd3f ,he is not here1 but is     
raised4  ,remember how he told you while
 he was yet in ,galilee1 #bd3gsaying1   
,the ,son of man must be delivered into 
the hands of wicked men to be crucified1
 and on the third day rise again4       

#bd3h;,and they remembered his words2   
#bd3i;and returning from the tomb       
related all these things to the eleven1 
and to all the rest4  #bd3aj;,and they  
were the ,magdalene ,mary1 and ,joanna1 
and ,mary the mother of ,james1 and the 
others with them1 who told these things 
to the apostles4 #bd3aa;,and their words
 appeared to them like idle talk2 and   
they believed them not4  #c #bd3ac;,and 
behold1 two of them went the same day to
 a village about sixty stadiums #g miles
 from ,jerusalem1 called ,emmaus2       
#bd3ad;and they conversed together of   
all these things which had happened4    
#bd3ae;,and as they conversed and       
reasoned together1 ,jesus also himself  
approaching walked with them2 #bd3af but
 their eyes were restrained that they   
did not know him4 #bd3ag;,and he said to
 them1 ,what reports are these which you
 relate one to the other as you walk and
 are sad8 #bd3ah;,and one of them       
answered1 whose name was ,cleopas1 and  
said to him1 ,do you live alone at      

,jerusalem and not know the things which
 have occurred in it in these days8     
#bd3ai;,and he said to them1 ,what      
things8 ,and they said to him1 ,the     
things relating to ,jesus the           
,nazoraean1 who was a prophet1 mighty in
 work and word before ,god and all the  
people2 #bd3bj;and how our chief priests
 and rulers delivered him up to the     
sentence of death1 and crucified him1   
#bd3ba;,but we hoped that he was the one
 who was to redeem ,israel4 ,but indeed1
 also1 in addition to all these things1 
today is the third day since these      
things occurred2 #bd3bb;but some of our 
women also astonished us1 who being     
early at the tomb #bd3bc;and not finding
 his body1 came1 saying that they had   
seen a vision of angels1 who said that  
he was alive4 #bd3bd;,and some of those 
with us went to the tomb1 and found even
 as the women had said2 and him they saw
 not4  #d #bd3be;,and he said to them1  
,o foolish men1 and of a mind slow to   
believe all that the prophets have      

spoken4 #bd3bf,ought not the ,christ to 
suffer these things1 and to enter into  
his glory8  #bd3bg;,and from ,moses1 and
 from all the prophets1 he interpreted  
to them in all the ,scriptures the      
things concerning himself4  #bd3bh;,and 
they approached the village to which    
they were going2 and he pretended to be 
going farther4 #bd3bi;,and they urged   
him1 saying1 ,remain with us1 for it is 
near evening1 and the day is already    
past4 ,and he went in to remain with    
them2 #bd3cj;and when he reclined with  
them1 taking bread1 he blessed1 and     
breaking1 gave them4 #bd3ca;,and their  
eyes were opened1 and they knew him2 and
 he vanished from their sight4          
#bd3cb;,and they said one to the other1 
,did not our hearts burn within us when 
he spoke to us on the way8 when he      
opened to us the ,scriptures8           
#bd3cc;,and rising up the same hour they
 returned to ,jerusalem1 and found the  
eleven1 and those with them1 assembled  
together1 #bd3cdsaying1 ,the ,lord has  

risen indeed and has appeared to ,simon4
 #bd3ce;,and they related the things on 
the way1 and how he was known to them by
 the breaking of bread4  #e #bd3cf;,and 
as they were saying these things he     
stood in the midst of them2 #bd3cg;and  
they being terrified and afraid1 thought
 they saw a spirit4 #bd3ch ,and he said 
to them1 ,why are you troubled8 and why 
do doubts arise in your minds8          
#bd3ci,see my hands and my feet1 that ,i
 am he2 feel of me1 and see2 for a      
spirit has not flesh and bones as you   
see me have4 #bd3da;,and while they yet 
disbelieved from joy1 and wondered1 he  
said to them1 ,have you any food here8  
#bd3db;,and they gave him part of a     
broiled fish1 and of a honeycomb2 #bd3dc
 and taking it1 he eat before them4  #f 
#bd3dd;,and he said to them1 ,these are 
my words which ,i spoke to you while ,i 
was yet with you1 that all things       
written in the law of ,moses1 and       
,prophets1 and ,psalms1 concerning me1  
must be fully accomplished4 #bd3de,then 

he opened their understanding to        
understand the ,scriptures1 #bd3df;and  
said to them1 ,thus it is written1 that 
the ,christ should suffer1 and rise from
 the dead on the third day1 #bd3dg;and  
that a change of mind and forgiveness of
 sins should be preached in his name to 
all nations1 beginning from ,jerusalem4 
#bd3dh,you are witnesses of these       
things4  #bd3di;,behold1 ,i send the    
promise of my ,father upon you2 but     
remain in the city till you are endued  
with power from on high4  #g #bd3ej;,and
 he led them out as far as ,bethany1 and
 lifting up his hands1 blessed them2    
#bd3ea;and while he was blessing them he
 departed from them4 #bd3eb;,and they   
returned to ,jerusalem with great joy1  
#bd3ec;and were continually in the      
temple1 praising and blessing ,god4     
,,the ,,gospel ,,of ,,john4   ,,chapter 
,i4  ,,the ,,word4  #a #a3a;,,in the    
beginning was the ,word1 and the ,word  
was with ,god1 and the ,word was ,god4  
#a3b,this ,word was in the beginning    

with ,god4 #a3c;,all things existed     
through him1 and without him not one    
thing existed1 which existed4 #a3d ,in  
him was life1 and the life was the light
 of men2 #a3e;and the light shone in    
darkness1 and the darkness comprehended 
it not4  #b #a3f,there was a man1 sent  
by ,god1 whose name was ,john4          
#a3g,this man came for a testimony1 to  
testify of the light1 that all might    
believe through him4 #a3h;,he was not   
the light1 but to testify of the light4 
#a3i,the light was the true light which 
lights every man that comes into the    
world4 #a3aj;,he was in the world1 and  
the world existed through him1 and the  
world knew him not4 #a3aa ,he came to   
his own1 and his own received him not4  
#a3ab;,but as many as received him1 to  
them gave he power to become sons of    
,god1 to them that believe on his name1 
#a3acwho are born not of superior blood1
 nor of a will of the flesh1 nor of a   
will of man1 but of ,god4  #c #a3ad;,and
 the ,word became flesh and tabernacled 

with us and we beheld his glory1 a glory
 as of an only child with a father1 full
 of grace and truth4 #a3ae;,john        
testified of him1 and cried1 saying1    
,this is the one of whom ,i said1 ,he   
that comes after me existed before me1  
for he was before me4 #a3af;,for we all 
have received of his fullness1 and grace
 for grace2 #a3ag;for the law was given 
by ,moses1 the grace and truth were by  
,jesus ,christ4  #a3ah,no one has ever  
seen ,god2 the only ,son1 who is in the 
bosom of the ,father1 he declared him4

,,to ,,be ,,the ,,messiah1 ,,and        
,,commencing ,,his ,,ministry4  #a      
#a3ai;,,and this is the testimony of    
,john1 when the ,jews from ,jerusalem   
sent priests and ,levites to ask him1   
,who are you8  #a3bj;,and he confessed  
and denied not1 and confessed1 ,i am not
 the ,christ4 #a3ba;,and they asked him1
 ,what then8 are you ,elijah8  ,and he  
said1 ,i am not4 ,are you the prophet8  
,and he answered1 ,no4  #a3bb,then they 

said to him1 ,who are you8 that we may  
give an answer to them that sent us2    
what say you of yourself8 #a3bc;,he     
said1 ,i am the voice of one crying in  
the wilderness1 ,make straight the way  
of the ,lord1 as ,isaiah the prophet    
said4  #b #a3bd;,and those sent were of 
the ,pharisees4 #a3be;,and they asked   
him1 and said to him1 ,why then do you  
baptize1 if you are not the ,christ1 nor
 ,elijah1 nor the prophet8 #a3bf;,john  
answered them saying1 ,i baptize with   
water2 but among you stands one whom you
 know not4 #a3bg;,he is the one coming  
after me1 the strings of whose sandal ,i
 am not worthy to untie4 #a3bh,these    
things occurred in ,bethany beyond the  
,jordan1 where ,john was baptizing4  #c 
#a3bi,on the next day he saw ,jesus     
coming to him1 and said1 ,behold the    
,lamb of ,god1 who takes away the sin of
 the world4  #a3cj,this is he of whom ,i
 said1 ,after me comes a man who was    
before me1 for he was before me4        
#a3ca;,and ,i knew him not2 but that he 

might be made manifest to ,israel1 for  
this reason have ,i come baptizing with 
water4 #a3cb;,and ,john testified       
saying1 ,i saw the ,spirit descend like 
a dove from heaven1 and it remained on  
him4 #a3cc;,and ,i knew him not1 but he 
that sent me to baptize with water1 he  
said to me1 ,on whom you see the ,spirit
 descend and remain on him1 this is he  
that baptizes with the ,holy ,spirit4   
#a3cd;,and ,i have seen and testified   
that this is the ,son of ,god4  #d      
#a3ce,on the next day ,john was again   
standing1 and two of his disciples1     
#a3cf;and looking at ,jesus as he       
walked1 he said1 ,behold the ,lamb of   
,god4 #a3cg;,and his two disciples heard
 him say this1 and followed ,jesus4     
#a3ch;,and ,jesus turning around1 and   
seeing them following1 said to them1    
,what do you seek8 ,and they said to    
him1 ,rabbi1 which interpreted signifies
 ,teacher1 where do you stay8 #a3ci;,he 
said to them1 ,come and see4 ,then they 
went and saw where he staid1 and staid  

with him that day2 it was about the     
tenth hour4 #a3dj;,andrew1 the brother  
of ,simon ,peter1 was one of the two who
 heard from ,john1 and followed him2    
#a3da;he first found his brother ,simon1
 and said to him1 ,we have found the    
,messiah2 which is interpreted1 ,christ 
,anointed4 #a3db;,he brought him to     
,jesus4 ,jesus looking at him said1 ,you
 are ,simon1 the son of ,jonas2 you     
shall be called ,cephas2 which is       
interpreted1 ,peter ,rock4  #e #a3dc,on 
the next day he wished to go to         
,galilee1 and he found ,philip4 ,and    
,jesus said to him1 ,follow me4         
#a3dd,now ,philip was from ,bethsaida1  
of the city of ,andrew and ,peter4      
#a3de,philip found ,nathanael1 and said 
to him1 ,we have found him of whom      
,moses in the law1 and the prophets1    
wrote1 ,jesus1 the son of ,joseph1 from 
,nazareth4 #a3df;,and ,nathanael said to
 him1 ,can any good thing come out of   
,nazareth8 ,philip said to him1 ,come   
and see4  #a3dg;,jesus saw ,nathanael   

coming to him1 and said of him1 ,see an 
,israelite indeed1 in whom is no guile4 
#a3dh,nathanael said to him1 ,whence do 
you know me8 ,jesus answered and said to
 him1 ,before ,philip called you1 when  
you were under the fig tree ,i saw you4 
#a3di,nathanael answered him1 ,rabbi1   
you are the ,son of ,god2 you are the   
,king of ,israel4 #a3ej;,jesus answered 
and said to him1 ,because ,i said to you
 ,i saw you under the fig tree1 do you  
believe8 ,you shall see greater things  
than these4 #a3ea;,and he said to him1  
,i tell you most truly1 you shall see   
heaven opened and the angels of ,god    
ascending and descending upon the ,son  
of man4    ,,chapter ,,iii4  ,,christ   
,,changing ,,water ,,into ,,wine1

#b3a;,,and on the third day there was a 
wedding at ,cana in ,galilee1 and the   
mother of ,jesus was there2 #b3b;and    
,jesus also was invited1 and his        
disciples1 to the wedding4 #b3c;,and the

 wine falling short the mother of ,jesus
 said to him1 ,they have no wine4       
#b3d;,jesus said to her1 ,what have you 
to do with me1 woman8 ,my hour has not  
yet come4 #b3e;,his mother said to the  
servants1 ,do whatever he tells you4    
#b3f;,and there were six stone water    
jars there1 placed for the purification 
of the ,jews1 containing two or three   
metretes #af4ge or #be4abe gallons each4
 #b3g;,jesus said to them1 ,fill the    
water jars with water2 and they filled  
them to the top4 #b3h;,and he said to   
them1 ,now draw out and bear to the     
master of the feast2 and they bore it4  
#b3i;,and when the master of the feast  
tasted of the water made wine1 and knew 
not whence it was1--but the servants    
knew who had drawn the water1--the      
master of the feast called the          
bridegroom #b3aj;and said to him1 ,every
 man first presents the good wine1 and  
when they have drunk freely1 the poorer2
 but you have kept the good wine till   
now4  #b3aa,this first miracle did      

,jesus perform at ,cana in ,galilee1 and
 manifested his glory2 and his disciples
 believed on him4  #b3ab;,after this he 
went down to ,capernaum1 he and his     
mother1 and his brothers1 and his       
disciples1 and remained there a few     
days4  #b #b3ac;,and the passover of the
 ,jews was nigh2 and ,jesus went up to  
,jerusalem4 #b3ad;,and he found in the  
temple those that sold cattle1 and      
sheep1 and doves1 and the brokers       
sitting2 #b3ae;and making a whip of     
cords he drove them all out of the      
temple1 also the sheep and cattle1 and  
poured out the money of the brokers1 and
 overturned the tables1 #b3af;and said  
to those that sold doves1 ,take these   
things hence2 make not my ,father's     
house a house of merchandise4 #b3ag;,and
 his disciples remembered that it was   
written1 ,the zeal of thy house consumes
 me4  #c #b3ah,then the ,jews answered  
and said to him1 ,what sign do you show 
us1 that you do these things8           
#b3ai;,jesus answered and said to them1 

,destroy this temple1 and in three days 
,i will raise it4  #b3bj,then the ,jews 
said to him1 ,forty-six years was this  
temple being built1 and will you raise  
it in three days8 #b3ba;,but he spoke of
 the temple of his body4 #b3bb,when1    
therefore1 he was raised from the dead1 
his disciples remembered that he said   
this1 and they believed the ,scripture  
and the word which ,jesus spoke4        
,,chapter ,,iv4  ,,christ',s ,,discourse
 ,,with ,,nicodemus4  #a #b3bc;,,and    
when he was at ,jerusalem at the feast  
of the passover many believed on him1   
seeing his miracles which he performed2 
#b3bd;but ,jesus did not trust himself  
to them1 because he knew all men1       
#b3be;for he had no need that any should
 testify of man1 for he knew what was in
 man4  #b #c3a;,and there was a man of  
the ,pharisees whose name was           
,nicodemus1 a ruler of the ,jews4       
#c3b,this man came to him by night and  
said to him1 ,rabbi1 we know that you   
are a teacher come from ,god1 for no one

 can perform these miracles which you   
perform unless ,god is with him4        
#c3c;,jesus answered and said to him1 ,i
 tell you most truly1 unless one has    
been born again he cannot see the       
kingdom of ,god4 #c3d,nicodemus said to 
him1 ,how can a man be born when he is  
old8 can he become an unborn infant of  
his mother a second time1 and be born8  
#c3e;,jesus answered1 ,i tell you most  
truly1 unless a man is born of water and
 of the ,spirit1 he cannot enter into   
the kingdom of ,god4 #c3f,that which is 
born of the flesh is flesh2 and that    
which is born of the ,spirit is a       
spirit4  #c3g,wonder not that ,i said to
 you1 ,you must be born again4 #c3h,the 
,spirit breathes where it wills1 and you
 hear its voice1 but you know not whence
 it comes1 nor whither it goes2 so is   
every one that has been born of the     
,spirit4  #c #c3i,nicodemus answered and
 said to him1 ,how can these things be8 
#c3aj ,jesus answered and said to him1  
,are you a teacher of ,israel and know  

not these things8 #c3aa;,i tell you most
 truly1 that we speak what we know1 and 
what we have seen we testify2 and you   
receive not our testimony4 #c3ab;,if ,i 
have told you earthly things and you    
believe not1 how will you believe if ,i 
should tell you heavenly things8        
#c3ac;,and no one has ascended into     
heaven but he that came down from       
heaven1 the ,son of man who is in       
heaven4 #c3ad;,and as ,moses lifted up  
the serpent in the wilderness1 so must  
the ,son of man be lifted up2 #c3aethat 
every one believing in him may have     
eternal life4 #c3af;,for ,god so loved  
the world that he gave his only ,son1   
that every one believing in him may not 
perish but have eternal life4 #c3ag;,for
 ,god sent not his ,son into the world  
to judge the world1 but that the world  
through him might be saved4 #c3ah;,he   
that believes in him is not judged2 but 
he that believes not has been judged    
already2 because he has not believed in 
the name of the only ,son of ,god4      

#c3ai;,and this is the judgment2 that   
the light has come into the world1 and  
men loved darkness rather than the      
light1 because their deeds are evil4    
#c3bj;,for every one that does evil     
hates the light1 and comes not to the   
light1 lest his deeds should be         
reproved2 #c3ba;but he that does good   
comes to the light1 that his deeds may  
be made manifest1 for they are wrought

these things ,jesus and his disciples   
came into the country of ,judea2 and    
there he staid with them1 and baptized4 
#c3bc;,and ,john also was baptizing at  
,a,enon1 near ,salim1 because there were
 many waters there2 and they came and   
were baptized1 #c3bd;for ,john was not  
yet cast into prison4 #c3be ,then there 
was a controversy of the disciples of   
,john with a ,jew concerning

,john and said to him1 ,rabbi1 he that  

was with you beyond the ,jordan1 to whom
 you testified1 behold1 this man        
baptizes and all men come to him4

can receive nothing unless it is given  
him from heaven4 #c3bh,you yourselves   
bear me witness1 that ,i said1 ,i am not
 the ,christ1 but am sent before him4   
#c3bi;,he that has the bride is the     
bridegroom2 but the friend of the       
bridegroom1 who stands and hears him1   
rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's

attained4 #c3cj;,he must increase1 but  
,i must decrease4 #c3ca;,he that comes  
from above is above all2 he that is of  
the earth is of the earth1 and speaks of

is above all2 #c3cb and what he has seen
 and heard this he testifies2 and no one
 receives his testimony4 #c3cc;,he that 
receives his testimony has sealed that  
,god is true4 #c3cd;,for he whom ,god

that the ,pharisees heard that ,jesus   
made and baptized more disciples than   
,john1 #d3bthough ,jesus himself indeed 
baptized not1 but his disciples1 #d3c;he
 left ,judea and departed again to      
,galilee4 #d3d;,and it was necessary    
that he should pass through ,samaria4   
#d3e ,he came1 therefore1 to a city of  
,samaria called ,sychar1 near the lot   
which ,jacob gave his son ,joseph4      
#d3f;,and ,jacob's well was there4      
,jesus1 therefore1 being fatigued with  
travelling sat thus by the well2 it was 
about the sixth hour noon4 #d3g;,a woman
 of ,samaria came to draw water4 ,jesus 
said to her1 ,give me a drink2 #d3h;for 
his disciples had gone away into the    
city to buy provisions4  #d3i,then the  

,samaritan woman said to him1 ,how do   
you1 being a ,jew1 ask a drink of me1   
who am a ,samaritan8 for the ,jews do no
 business with the ,samaritans4         
#d3aj;,jesus answered and said to her1  
,if you knew the gift of ,god1 and who  
it is that says to you1 ,give me a      
drink1 you would have asked him1 and he 
would have given you living water4      
#d3aa,the woman said to him1 ,sir1 you  
have nothing to draw with1 and the well 
is deep2 whence then have you the living
 water8 #d3ab;,are you greater than our 
father ,jacob1 who gave us the well1 and
 who drank of it himself1 and his sons1 
and his cattle8 #d3ac;,jesus answered   
and said to her1 ,every one that drinks 
of this water will thirst again2        
#d3ad;but whoever drinks of the water   
which ,i will give him shall never      
thirst2 but the water which ,i will give
 him shall be in him a fountain of water
 springing up to eternal life4 #d3ae,the
 woman said to him1 ,sir1 give me this  
water1 that ,i thirst not1 nor come here

 to draw4 #d3af;,he said to her1 ,go and
 call your husband1 and come here4      
#d3ag,the woman answered and said1 ,i   
have no husband4  ,jesus said to her1   
,you have said well1 ,i have no husband2

,i perceive that you are a prophet4

mountain1 and you say that ,jerusalem is

woman1 the hour comes1 when neither in  
this mountain1 nor in ,jerusalem1 you   
shall worship the ,father4 #d3bb,you    
worship what you know not2 we worship   
what we know2 for salvation is of the   
,jews4 #d3bc;,but the hour comes1 and   
now is1 when the true worshippers shall 
worship the ,father in spirit and truth2
 for the ,father seeks such to worship  
him4  #d3bd;,god is a ,spirit1 and those
 that worship him must worship in spirit

 and truth4 #d3be,the woman said to him1
 ,i know that the ,messiah is coming1   
called ,christ2 when he comes he will   
tell us all things4 #d3bf;,jesus said to
 her1 ,i that speak to you am the       
,messiah4  #d #d3bg;,and upon this his  
disciples came1 and wondered that he    
talked with the woman2 but no one said  
to him1 ,what do you seek8  or why do   
you talk with her8 #d3bh,then the woman 
left her bucket1 and went to the city1  
and said to the men1 #d3bi;,come and see
 a man who has told me all things which 
,i have done2 is this the ,christ8      
#d3cj,they came out from the city and   
came to him4  #e #d3ca;,in the meantime 
the disciples asked him saying1 ,rabbi1 
eat4 #d3cb;,but he said to them1 ,i have
 food to eat which you know not of4

another1 ,has any one brought him food  
to eat8 #d3cd;,jesus said to them1 ,my  
food is to do the will of him that sent 
me1 and to finish his work4 #d3ce;,do   
you not say1 ,there are yet four months1

 and the harvest comes8  behold1 ,i say 
to you1 lift up your eyes and see the   
fields2 for they are white for a        
harvest4 #d3cf;,already he that reaps   
receives wages and gathers fruit for    
life eternal1 that he that sows and he  
that reaps may rejoice together4 #d3cg

that sows is one1 and he that reaps is  
another4 #d3ch;,i have sent you to reap 
that on which you have not labored2     
others have labored and you have entered
 into their labor4  #f #d3ci;,and many  
of the ,samaritans in that city believed
 on him1 on account of the word of the  
woman1 testifying1 ,he told me all      
things which ,i have done4 #d3dj,when1  
therefore1 the ,samaritans came to him1 
they desired him to remain with them2   
and he remained there two days4

 of his word1 #d3db;and said to the     
woman1 ,we no longer believe on account 
of your report1 for we have heard him   
ourselves1 and know that this is truly

 ,a ,,nobleman',s ,,son4  #a #d3dc;,,and
 after two days he departed thence to   
,galilee4  #d3dd;,for ,jesus himself    
testified that a prophet is without     
honor in his native country4 #d3de      
,when1 therefore1 he came into ,galilee1
 the ,galileans received him1 having    
seen all that he did at ,jerusalem at   
the feast2 for they also came to the    
feast4  #d3df,then he came again to     
,cana in ,galilee1 where he had made the
 water wine4  #b ,and there was a       
certain nobleman whose son was sick at  
,capernaum4 #d3dg ,hearing that ,jesus  
had come from ,judea into ,galilee1 he  
went to him1 and desired him to come    
down and cure his son1 for he was about 
to die4 #d3dh,then ,jesus said to him1  
,unless you see miracles and prodigies  
you will not believe4  #d3di ,the       
nobleman said to him1 ,lord1 come down  
before my child dies4 #d3ej;,jesus said 
to him1 ,go2 your son lives4 ,the man   

believed the word which ,jesus said to  
him1 and went4 #d3ea;,and as he was now 
going down his servants met him1 and    
told1 saying1 ,your child lives4        
#d3eb,then he inquired of them the hour 
in which he became better4 ,then they   
said to him1 ,the fever left him        
yesterday1 at the seventh hour4         
#d3ec,then the father knew that it was  
in that hour in which ,jesus said to    
him1 ,your son lives2 and he believed1

miracle did ,jesus1 having come from

,,jerusalem4  #a #e3a;,,after these     
things there was a feast of the ,jews1

#e3b;,and there is at ,jerusalem1 by the
 sheep-gate1 a pool1 called in ,hebrew1 
,bethesda1 having five porches4 #e3c;,in
 these lay a multitude of sick1 blind1  
lame1 withered4 #e3e;,and there was a   
certain man there who had been sick     

thirty-eight years4 #e3f;,jesus seeing  
him lying1 and knowing that he had now  
been sick a long time1 said to him1 ,do 
you wish to become well8 #e3g,the sick  
man answered him1 ,sir1 ,i have no man1 
when the water is disturbed1 to put me  
into the pool2 but while ,i am coming   
another goes down before me4 #e3h;,jesus
 said to him1 ,arise1 take up your bed  
and walk4 #e3i;,and the man immediately 
became well1 and took up his bed and    
walked4 ,that day was the sabbath4  #b  
#e3aj,the ,jews1 therefore1 said to him 
that was cured1 ,it is the sabbath2 it  
is not lawful for you to carry the bed4 
#e3aa;,he answered them1 ,he that made  
me well1 he said to me1 ,take up your   
bed and walk4 #e3ab,they asked him1 ,who
 is the man that said to you1 ,take up  
your bed and walk8 #e3ac;,and the sick  
man knew not who it was2 for ,jesus had 
gone away1 a multitude being in that    
place4 #e3ad;,afterwards ,jesus found   
him in the temple1 and said to him1     
,behold1 you have become well2 sin no   

more1 lest a worse thing happen to you4 
#e3ae,the man went away and told the    
,jews that it was ,jesus who had made   
him well2 #e3af;and on this account the 
,jews persecuted ,jesus1 because he had 
done these things on the sabbath4       
#e3ag;,but ,jesus answered them1 ,my    
,father works even till now1 and ,i     
work4 #e3ah,then1 for this reason1 the  
,jews sought the more to kill him1      
because he not only broke the sabbath   
but also said1 that ,god was his        
,father1 making himself equal with ,god4
 #e3ai,then ,jesus answered and said to 
them1 ,i tell you most truly1 the ,son  
can do nothing of himself1 but what he  
sees the ,father do2 for whatever he    
does1 these things also does the ,son in
 like manner4 #e3bj;,for the ,father    
loves the ,son1 and shows him all things
 which he does2 and greater works than  
these will he show him1 that you may    
wonder4 #e3ba;,for as the ,father raises
 the dead1 and makes them alive1 so also
 the ,son makes alive whom he will4     

#e3bb;,for the ,father judges no man1

not the ,son honors not the ,father that
 sent him4  #c #e3bd;,i tell you most   
truly1 he that hears my word and

life1 and comes not into judgment1 but  
has passed from death to life4 #e3be;,i 
tell you most truly1 that the hour      
comes1 and now is1 when the dead shall  
hear the voice of the ,son of ,god1 and 
those that hear shall live4  #e3bf;,for 
as the ,father has life in himself1 so  
has he also given to the ,son to have   
life in himself2 #e3bg;and has given him
 authority and judgment to execute1     
because he is the ,son of man4          
#e3bh,wonder not at this2 for the hour  
comes in which all that are in the tombs
 shall hear his voice #e3bi;and shall   
come forth2 those that have done good to
 a resurrection of life1 and those that 
have done evil to a resurrection of

 the ,tiberias4 #f3b;,and a great       
multitude followed him1 because they saw
 the miracles which he performed on the 
sick4 #f3c;,and ,jesus went up on the   
mountain and sat there with his         
disciples4  #f3d;,and the passover was  
nigh1 the feast of the ,jews4 #f3e,then 
,jesus lining up his eyes1 and seeing   
many people come to him1 said to        
,philip1 ,whence shall we buy bread that
 these may eat8  #b #f3f;,but this he   
said to try him2 for he knew what he was
 about to do4 #f3g ,philip answered him1
 ,two hundred denarii #bh worth of bread
 is not sufficient for them1 that each  
may take a little4  #f3h,one of his     
disciples1 ,andrew1 ,simon ,peter's     
brother1 said to him1 #f3i,there is a   
boy here who has five barley loaves and 
two fishes2 but what are these for so   
many8 #f3aj;,jesus said1 ,make the men  
sit down4 ,and there was much grass in  
the place4 ,the men1 therefore1 sat down
 in number about five thousand4         
#f3aa,then ,jesus took the bread1 and   

having given thanks1 distributed it to  
those reclining2 likewise also of the   
fishes1 as much as they wished4         
#f3ab;,and when they were filled he said
 to his disciples1 ,collect the         
fragments that remain over1 that nothing
 may be lost4  #f3ac,then they          
collected1 and filled twelve            
traveling-baskets with the fragments of 
the five barley loaves which remained   
over to those who had eaten4  #c        
#f3ad,then the men1 seeing what a       
miracle ,jesus had performed1 said1     
,this is truly the prophet who was to   
come into the world4  #f3ae;,and ,jesus 
knowing that they were about to come and
 take him by force to make him a king1  
went up to the mountain himself alone4  
#d #f3af;,and when it was evening1 his  
disciples went down to the lake1 #f3ag  
and entering into the ship were crossing
 the lake to ,capernaum4 ,and it was now
 dark1 and ,jesus had not come to them1 
#f3ah;and the lake was made rough by a  
great wind blowing4  #f3ai,then having  

gone about twenty-five or thirty        
stadiums #c or #c #a-b miles1 they saw  
,jesus walking on the lake and coming   
near the ship1 and they were afraid4    
#f3bj;,but he said to them1 ,it is ,i2  
be not afraid4 #f3ba ,then they         
willingly took him into the ship1 and

there except one1 and that ,jesus       
entered not into the ship with his      
disciples but his disciples had gone    
away alone1-- #f3bc but other boats came
 from ,tiberias near the place where    
they had eaten bread after the ,lord    
gave thanks1-- #f3bdwhen1 therefore1 the
 multitude saw that ,jesus was not      
there1 neither his disciples1 they went 
into the ships and came to ,capernaum1  

seeking ,jesus4 #f3be;,and finding him  
on the other side of the lake they said 
to him1 ,rabbi1 when came you hither8   
#f3bf;,jesus answered them and said1 ,i 
tell you most truly1 you seek me not    
because you saw miracles1 but because   
you eat of the bread and were filled4   
#f3bg,work not for the food which       
perishes1 but for the food which endures
 to eternal life1 which the ,son of man 
will give you2 for him has ,god the     
,father sealed4  #b #f3bh,then they said
 to him1 ,what shall we do to perform

 and said to them1 ,this is the work of

sent4 #f3cj,then they said to him1 ,what
 miracle do you perform1 that we may see
 and believe you8 what work do you      
perform8 #f3ca,our fathers eat the manna
 in the wilderness1 as it is written1   
,he gave them bread from heaven to eat4 
#f3cb,then ,jesus said to them1 ,i tell 
you most truly1 ,moses gave you not     
bread from heaven1 but my ,father gives 

you the true bread from heaven2         
#f3cc;for the bread of ,god is he that  
comes down from heaven and gives life to
 the world4  #c #f3cd,then they said to 
him1 ,sir1 always give us this bread4   
#f3ce;,jesus said to them1 ,i am the    
bread of life2 he that comes to me shall
 never hunger1 and he that believes in  
me shall never thirst4 #f3cf;,but ,i    
said to you1 that you have seen me and  
believe not4 #f3cg;,every thing which   
the ,father gives to me shall come to   
me1 and him that comes to me ,i will by 
no means cast out2 #f3ch;for ,i came    
down from heaven not to do my will1 but 
the will of him that sent me4 #f3ci;,and
 this is the will of him that sent me2  
that ,i should lose nothing of all that 
he has given me1 but should raise it up 
at the last day4 #f3dj;,for this is the 
will of my ,father1 that every one who  
sees the ,son and believes in him should
 have eternal life2 and ,i will raise   
him up at the last day4  #d #f3da,then  
the ,jews complained of him because he  

said1 ,i am the bread which came down   
from heaven4 #f3db;,and they said1 ,is  
not this ,jesus1 the son of ,joseph1    
whose father and mother we know8  how1  
then1 does he say1 ,i came down from    
heaven8 #f3dc,then ,jesus answered and  
said to them1 ,complain not among       
yourselves4  #f3dd,no one can come to me
 unless the ,father who sent me shall   
draw him2 and ,i will raise him up at   
the last day4 #f3de;,it is written in   
the prophets1 ,and all shall be taught  
of ,god4 ,every one who has heard and   
learned of the ,father comes to me4     
#f3df,not that any one has seen the     
,father except he that is from ,god2 he 
has seen the ,father4  #e #f3dg;,i tell 
you most truly1 ,he that believes has   
eternal life4 #f3dh;,i am the bread of  
life4 #f3di,your fathers eat manna in   
the wilderness1 and died2 #f3ejthis is  
the bread which comes down from heaven1 
that one may eat of it and not die4     
#f3ea;,i am the living bread which came 
down from heaven2 if any one eats of    

this bread1 he shall live forever2 and  
the bread which ,i will give for the    
life of the world is my flesh4  #f      
#f3eb,then the ,jews contended one with 
another1 saying1 ,how can this man give 
us his flesh to eat8 #f3ec,then ,jesus  
said to them1 ,i tell you most truly1   
unless you eat the flesh of the ,son of 
man and drink his blood1 you have no    
life in you4 #f3ed;,he that eats my     
flesh and drinks my blood has eternal   
life1 and ,i will raise him up at the

true food1 and my blood is the true     
drink4 #f3ef;,he that eats my flesh and 
drinks my blood continues in me1 and ,i 
in him4 #f3eg;,as the living ,father    
sent me and ,i live by the ,father1 so  
he that eats me shall live by me4       
#f3eh,this is the bread which came down 
from heaven2 not as your fathers eat and
 died1 he that eats this bread shall    
live forever4 #f3ei,these things he said
 in a synagogue1 teaching in ,capernaum4
  #g #f3fj,then many of his disciples   

hearing him said1 ,this is a hard       
saying2 who can hear him8 #f3fa;,and    
,jesus knowing in himself that his      
disciples complained of this1 said to   
them1 ,does this offend you8 #f3fb,what1
 then if you should see the ,son of man 
ascend where he was formerly8 #f3fc,the 
,spirit is that which makes alive2 the  
flesh profits nothing2 the words which  
,i have spoken to you are spirit and    
life4 #f3fd;,but there are some of you  
who believe not4 ,for ,jesus knew from  
the beginning who they were that        
believed not1 and who he was that would 
betray him4  #f3fe;,and on that account 
he said1 ,i told you that no one can    
come to me unless it has been given him 
by my ,father4  #h #f3ff;,from this time
 many of his disciples went away from   
following him1 and walked no more with  
him4 #f3fg,then ,jesus said to the      
twelve ,will you also go away8          
#f3fh,simon ,peter answered him1 ,lord1 
to whom shall we go8 you have words of  
eternal life1 #f3fi;and we have believed

 and know that you are the ,holy ,son of
 ,god4 #f3gj;,he answered them1 ,have ,i
 not chosen you twelve8 and of you one  
is a devil4 #f3ga;,but he spoke of      
,judas the son of ,simon ,iscariot1 for 
he was about to betray him1 being one of
 the twelve4 #g3a;,and after these      
things ,jesus walked in ,galilee1 for he
 would not walk in ,judea because the   
,jews sought to kill him4    ,,chapter  
,x4  ,,christ ,,at ,,the ,,feast ,,of   
,,tabernacles4  #a #g3b;,,and the feast 
of the ,jews was nigh1 the feast of     
tabernacles4 #g3c,then his brothers said
 to him1 ,go down from here1 and go into
 ,judea1 that your disciples also may   
see your works which you do2 #g3d;for no
 one does any thing in secret1 and seeks
 himself to be in public4 ,if you do    
these things1 show yourself to the      
world4 #g3e;,for his brothers did not   
believe on him4 #g3f,then ,jesus said to
 them1 ,my time has not yet come1 but   
your time is always ready4 #g3g,the     
world cannot hate you1 but me it hates1 

because ,i testify of it that its works 
are evil4  #g3h;,do you go up to the    
feast2 ,i go not up to this feast1      
because my time has not yet fully come4 
#g3i;,having said these things he       
continued in ,galilee4  #b #g3aj;,but   
when his brothers had gone up1 then he  
also went up to the feast1 not openly1  
but as it were in secret4 #g3aa,then the
 ,jews sought him at the feast1 and     
said1 ,where is he8  #g3ab;,and there   
was much complaining concerning him     
among the multitude2 some said1 ,he is a
 good man2 others said1 ,no2 but he     
deceives the people4 #g3ac,nevertheless1
 no one spoke openly for him from fear  
of the ,jews4  #c #g3ad;,and in the     
midst of the feast ,jesus went up into  
the temple and taught4 #g3ae,then the   
,jews wondered1 saying1 ,how does this  
man know letters1 not having learned8   
#g3af,then ,jesus answered them and     
said1 ,my teaching is not mine but his  
that sent me4 #g3ag;,if any one will do 
his will1 he shall know of the teaching 

whether it is from ,god or whether ,i   
speak from myself4  #g3ah;,he that      
speaks from himself seeks his own glory2
 but he that seeks the glory of him that
 sent him1 this man is true1 and no     
unrighteousness is in him4 #g3ai;,did   
not ,moses give you the law8 and no one 
of you performs the law4 ,why do you    
seek to kill me8 #g3bj,the multitude    
answered1 ,you have a demon2 who seeks  
to kill you8 #g3ba;,jesus answered and  
said to them1 ,i performed one work and 
you all wonder4 #g3bb,moses gave you    
circumcision1 not that it is of ,moses  
but of the fathers1 and you circumcise a
 man on the sabbath4 #g3bc;,if a man    
receives circumcision on the sabbath1   
that the law of ,moses may not be       
broken1 are you angry with me because ,i
 made a man entirely sound on the       
sabbath8 #g3bd;,judge not according to  
the appearance1 but judge a righteous   
judgment4  #d #g3be,then some of the    
inhabitants of ,jerusalem said1 ,is not 
this he whom they seek to kill8         

#g3bf;,and behold1 he speaks boldly1 and
 they say nothing to him4 ,have the     
rulers at length learned that this is   
the ,christ8 #g3bg;,but we know this man
 whence he is2 but when the ,christ     
comes1 no one knows whence he is4       
#g3bh,then ,jesus cried1 teaching in the
 temple and saying1 ,you both know me   
and know whence ,i am2 and ,i have not  
come of myself2 but he that sent me is  
true1 whom you know not2 #g3bi;,i know  
him1 because ,i am from him1 and he sent
 me4 #g3cj,then they sought to take him 
by force2 but no man laid a hand on him1
 for his hour had not yet come4  #e     
#g3ca;,and many of the multitude        
believed on him1 and said1 ,when the    
,christ comes will he perform more      
miracles than this man has performed8   
#g3cb,the ,pharisees heard the multitude
 saying these things concerning him1 and
 the chief priests and ,pharisees sent  
to take him by force4 #g3cc,then ,jesus 
said1 ,yet a little while am ,i with    
you1 and ,i go to him that sent me4     

#g3cd,you shall seek and shall not find1
 and where ,i am you cannot come4       
#g3ce,then the ,jews said one to        
another1 ,where is this man about to go1
 that we shall not find him8 ,will he go
 to the dispersion of the ,greeks1 and  
teach the ,greeks8 #g3cf,what does the  
word which he said mean2 ,you shall seek
 and shall not find me1 and where ,i am 
you cannot come8  #f #g3cg;,and on the  
last day1 the great day of the feast1   
,jesus stood and cried1 saying1 ,if any 
one thirsts1 let him come to me and     
drink4 #g3ch;,he that believes in me1 as
 the ,scripture has said1 out of him    
shall flow rivers of living water4      
#g3ci;,but he said this of the ,spirit  
which those believing in him were about 
to receive2 for the ,spirit was not yet 
given1 because ,jesus was not yet       
glorified4 #g3dj,then some of the       
multitude hearing these words1 said1    
,this is truly the prophet2 #g3daothers 
said1 ,this is the ,christ2 others said1
 ,no2 for does the ,christ come from    

,galilee8 #g3db;,has not the ,scripture 
said that the ,christ comes from the    
offspring of ,david1 and from           
,bethlehem1 the village where ,david    
was8 #g3dc,then there was a division    
among the multitude on his account2     
#g3dd;and some of them wished to take   
him by force1 but no one laid hands on  
him4  #g #g3de,then came the officers to
 the chief priests and ,pharisees1 and  
they said to them1 ,why have you not    
brought him8  #g3df,the officers        
answered1 ,a man never spoke thus4      
#g3dg,the ,pharisees answered them1 ,are
 you also deceived8 #g3dh;,has any one  
of the rulers believed on him1 or of the
 ,pharisees8 #g3di ,but this multitude  
which know not the law are accursed4    
#g3ej,nicodemus1 he that came to him1   
being one of them1 said to them1        
#g3ea;,does our law judge a man unless  
it first hears from him and knows what  
he does8 #g3eb,they answered and said to
 him1 ,are you also from ,galilee8      
search and see2 for no prophet is raised

 up from ,galilee4  #h #g3ec;,an early  
interpolation1 but probably true4 ,and  
every man went to his own house2        
#h3a;and ,jesus went to the ,mount of   
,olives4 #h3b;,and in the morning he    
went again to the temple1 and all the   
people came to him1 and he sat and      
taught them4 #h3c;,and the scribes and  
,pharisees brought him a woman taken in 
adultery1 and placing her in the midst  
#h3dsaid to him1 ,teacher1 this woman   
was taken in adultery1 in the very act4 
#h3e;,in the law1 ,moses commanded us   
that such should be stoned2 what        
therefore do you say8 #h3f,they said    
this to try him1 that they might have   
something of which to accuse him4 ,but  
,jesus1 stooping down1 wrote with his   
finger on the ground4 #h3g;,and when    
they continued asking him1 rising up1 he
 said to them1 ,let him that has not    
sinned among you first cast the stone at
 her4 #h3h;,and again stooping down he  
wrote on the ground4 #h3i;,but they     
hearing1 and being convicted by their   

consciences1 went out1 one by one1      
beginning with the oldest1 even to the  
last2 and ,jesus was left alone1 and the
 woman standing in the midst4 #h3aj;,and
 ,jesus rising up and seeing no one but 
the woman1 said to her1 ,woman1 where   
are those your accusers8 ,has no man    
condemned you8  #h3aa;,and she said1 ,no
 man1 ,lord4 ,and ,jesus said to her1   
,neither do ,i condemn you2 go1 and sin 
no more4    ,,chapter ,,xi4  ,,christ   
,,declaring ,,himself ,,the ,,son ,,of  
,,god4  #a #h3ab,,then ,jesus spoke to  
them again1 saying1 ,i am the light of  
the world2 he that follows me shall not 
walk in darkness but shall have the     
light of life4 #h3ac,then the ,pharisees
 said to him1 ,you testify of yourself2 
your testimony is not true4             
#h3ad;,jesus answered and said to them1 
,even if ,i testify of myself1 my       
testimony is true1 for ,i know whence ,i
 came and whither ,i go2 but you know   
not whence ,i come or whither ,i go4    
#h3ae,you judge according to the flesh2 

,i judge no one2 #h3af;and even if ,i   
judge1 my judgment is true1 because ,i  
am not alone1 but ,i and the ,father who
 sent me4 #h3ag;,and it is written also 
in your law1 that the testimony of two  
men is true2 #h3ah;,i am one1 testifying
 of myself1 and the ,father who sent me 
testifies of me4  #h3ai,then they said  
to him1 ,where is your ,father8 ,jesus  
answered1 ,you have neither known me nor
 my ,father2 if you had known me you    
would also have known my ,father4       
#h3bj,these words he said in the        
treasury1 teaching in the temple2 and no
 one took him by force1 for his hour had
 not yet come4  #b #h3ba,then ,jesus    
said to them again1 ,i go away1 and you 
shall seek me and die in your sin2 where
 ,i go1 you cannot come4  #h3bb,then the
 ,jews said1 ,will he kill himself1 that
 he says1 ,where ,i go you cannot come8 
#h3bc;,and he said to them1 ,you are    
from below2 ,i am from above2 you are   
from this world2 ,i am not from this    
world4 #h3bd,therefore ,i said to you1  

,you shall die in your sins2 for if you 
believe not that ,i am the ,christ1 you 
shall die in your sins4 #h3be ,then they
 said to him1 ,who are you8 ,and ,jesus 
said to them1 ,what at the beginning1   
and what ,i tell you now4 #h3bf;,i have 
many things to say and judge of you2 but
 he that sent me is true2 and what ,i   
have heard from him1 these things ,i    
speak in the world4 #h3bg,they          
understood not that he spoke to them of 
the ,father4 #h3bh,then ,jesus said to  
them1 ,when you shall lift up the ,son  
of man1 then shall you know that ,i am  
the ,christ2 and ,i do nothing of       
myself2 but ,i speak these things as the
 ,father has taught me2 #h3bi;and he    
having sent me is with me1 he has not   
left me alone1 for ,i always do the     
things which please him4  #c #h3cj,when 
he said these things many believed on   
him4  #h3ca,then ,jesus said to the     
,jews who believed on him1 ,if you      
continue in my word1 you are my         
disciples indeed2 #h3cb;and you shall   

know the truth1 and the truth shall make
 you free4  #h3cc,they answered him1 ,we
 are children of ,abraham1 and were     
never in servitude to any one2 how say  
you1 ,you shall become free8            
#h3cd;,jesus answered them1 ,i tell you 
most truly1 that every one who commits  
sin is a servant of the sin4 #h3ce;,but 
the servant continues not in the house  
for ever2 the ,son continues for ever4  
#h3cf;,if1 therefore1 the ,son shall    
make you free1 you shall be free indeed4
 #h3cg;,i know that you are children of 
,abraham2 but you seek to kill me       
because my word has no place in you4    
#h3ch,what ,i have seen with my ,father 
,i speak1 and you also do what you have 
heard from your father4 #h3ci,they      
answered and said to him1 ,our father is
 ,abraham4 ,jesus said to them1 ,if you 
were children of ,abraham1 you would    
have done the works of ,abraham2        
#h3dj;but now you seek to kill me1 a man
 who has told you the truth1 which ,i   
have heard from ,god2 ,abraham did not  

do this4 #h3da,you do the works of your 
father4 ,they said to him1 ,we were not 
born by fornication1 we have one father1
 ,god4 #h3db;,jesus said to them1 ,if   
,god was your father you would have     
loved me2 for ,i came forth and come    
from ,god2 for ,i came not of myself1   
but he sent me4 #h3dc,why do you not    
understand my speech8 because you cannot
 hear my word4 #h3dd,you are of your    
father the devil1 and the desires of    
your father you will to do4  ,he was a  
murderer from the beginning and stood   
not by the truth2 for truth is not in   
him4 ,when he speaks a lie1 he speaks   
from his own2 for he is a liar1 and the 
father of him that lies4  #h3de;,but    
because ,i tell you the truth you       
believe me not4  #h3df,who of you       
convicts me of a sin8 ,if ,i say the    
truth1 why do you not believe me8       
#h3dg;,he that is of ,god hears the     
words of ,god2 you1 therefore1 hear not1
 because you are not of ,god4  #d       
#h3dh,the ,jews answered and said to    

him1 ,say we not well that you are a    
,samaritan1 and have a demon8           
#h3di;,jesus answered1 ,i have not a    
demon2 but ,i honor my ,father1 and you 
dishonor me4  #h3ej;,but ,i seek not my 
glory2 there is one that seeks and      
judges4 #h3ea;,i tell you most truly1 if
 any one shall keep my word he shall    
never see death4 #h3eb,the ,jews said to
 him1 ,now we know that you have a      
demon4 ,abraham died1 and the prophets2 
and you say1 ,if any one shall keep my  
word he shall never taste death4        
#h3ec;,are you greater than our father  
,abraham1 who died8  and the prophets   
died2 whom do you make yourself8 #h3ed  
,jesus answered1 ,if ,i glorify myself1 
my glory is nothing2 it is my ,father   
who glorifies me1 of whom you say1 ,he  
is our ,god2 #h3ee;and you have not     
known him1 but ,i have known him2 and if
 ,i should say ,i do not know him1 ,i   
should be a liar like you2 but ,i know  
him and keep his word4 #h3ef;,abraham   
your father rejoiced to see my day1 and 

he saw1 and was glad4 #h3eg,then the    
,jews said to him1 ,you have not yet    
fifty years1 and have you seen ,abraham8
  #h3eh;,jesus said to them1 ,i tell you
 most truly1 that before ,abraham       
existed1 ,i am4 #h3ei,then they took up 
stones to cast at him2 but ,jesus hid   
himself1 and went out of the temple4    
,,chapter ,,xii4  ,,christ ,,curing ,a

that was blind from birth2 #i3b;and his 
disciples asked him1 saying1 ,rabbi1 who
 sinned1 this man or his parents1 that  
he was born blind8 #i3c;,jesus answered1
 ,neither did this man sin1 nor his     
parents1 but that the works of ,god     
might appear in him4 #i3d;,i must       
perform the works of him that sent me1  
while it is day2 night comes when no man
 can work4  #i3e,while ,i am in the     
world ,i am the light of the world4     
#i3f,saying these things he spit on the 
ground1 and made a paste of the spittle1

 and put the paste on his eyes1 #i3g;and
 said to him1 ,go1 and wash in the pool 
of the ,siloam2 which is interpreted1

neighbors and those who had seen him    
before1 because he was a beggar1 said1  
,is not this he that sat and begged8    
#i3i,some said1 ,this is he2 others     
said1 ,no1 but he is like him2 he said1 
,i am he4 #i3aj,then they said to him1  
,how then were your eyes opened8        
#i3aa;,he answered1 ,a man called ,jesus
 made paste and anointed my eyes1 and   
said to me1 ,go to the ,siloam and wash2
 then ,i went and washed1 and obtained  
sight4 #i3ab,they said to him1 ,where is
 he8 ,he said1 ,i know not4  #c         
#i3ac,they brought to the ,pharisees him
 that was formerly blind2 #i3ad;and it  
was on the sabbath when ,jesus made the 
paste and opened his eyes4 #i3ae,then   
the ,pharisees also asked him again how 
he obtained sight4 ,and he said to them1
 ,he put a paste on my eyes1 and ,i     

washed1 and see4 #i3af,then some of the 
,pharisees said1 ,this man is not of    
,god1 for he does not keep the sabbath4 
,others said1 ,how can a sinful man     
perform such miracles8  ,and there was a
 division among them4 #i3ag,they said to
 the blind man again1 ,what do you say  
of him1 because he opened your eyes8    
,and he said1 ,he is a prophet4  #d     
#i3ah,then the ,jews did not believe of 
him that he had been blind and received 
his sight1 till they called the parents 
of him that had received his sight4     
#i3ai;,and they asked them1 saying1 ,is 
this your son1 of whom you say that he  
was born blind8 ,how then does he now   
see8 #i3bj;,his parents answered and    
said1 ,we know that this is our son1 and
 that he was born blind2 #i3ba;but how  
he now sees we know not1 or who has     
opened his eyes we know not2 ask him1 he
 is of age1 he will speak for himself4  
#i3bb;,his parents said these things    
because they feared the ,jews2 for      
already the ,jews had agreed that if any

 one confessed him to be ,christ1 he    
should be put out of the synagogue2     
#i3bc therefore his parents said1 ,he is
 of age1 ask him4  #e #i3bd,then they   
called the man who had been blind1 a    
second time1 and said to him1 ,give     
glory to ,god2 we know that this man is 
a sinner4 #i3be,then he answered1       
,whether he is a sinner ,i know not2 one
 thing ,i know1 that having been blind1 
,i now see4  #i3bf,then they said to    
him1 ,what did he do to you8 how did he 
open your eyes8 #i3bg;,he answered them1
 ,i have told you already1 and you did  
not hear2 why do you wish to hear again8
 ,do you also wish to be his disciples8 
#i3bh,they reproached him1 and said1    
,you are his disciple1 but we are       
disciples of ,moses4 #i3bi,we know that 
,god spoke to ,moses1 but we know not

been heard that any one opened the eyes

 do nothing4 #i3cd,they answered and    
said to him1 ,you were born entirely in

believe in the ,son of ,god8 #i3cf;,and

 them1 ,if you were blind you would not 
have had sin2 but now you say1 ,we see1 
your sin remains4 #aj3a;,i tell you most
 truly1 he that enters not by the door  
into the sheepfold1 but climbs in at    
some other place1 he is a thief and

door is the shepherd of the sheep4      
#aj3c,to him the gate-keeper opens1 and 
the sheep hear his voice1 and he calls  
his sheep by name1 and leads them out4  
#aj3d,when he puts out all his sheep he 
goes before them1 and the sheep follow  
him2 for they know his voice4 #aj3e;,but
 a stranger they will not follow1 but   
will flee from him1 for they know not   
the voice of strangers4  #aj3f,this     
parable spoke ,jesus to them1 but they  
knew not what the words which he spoke  
to them meant4  #h #aj3g,then said      
,jesus to them again1 ,i tell you most  
truly1 ,i am the door of the sheep4     
#aj3h;,all who came before me are       
thieves and robbers2 but the sheep have 
not heard them4 #aj3i;,i am the door2 by

 me if any one enters in he shall be    
saved1 and go in and out1 and find      
pasturage4 #aj3aj,the thief comes not1  
except to steal1 and kill1 and destroy2 
,i came that they may have life1 and    
have it abundantly4  #i #aj3aa;,i am the
 good shepherd4 ,the good shepherd gives
 his life for the sheep4 #aj3ab;,but the
 hired servant1 and one who is not a    
shepherd1 who does not own the sheep1   
sees the wolf coming1 and leaves the    
sheep and flees1 and the wolf seizes and
 scatters them2 #aj3ac;for he is a hired
 servant and cares not for the sheep4   
#aj3ad;,i am the good shepherd1 and ,i  
know mine and mine know me1 #aj3ae;as   
the ,father knows me and ,i know the    
,father2 and ,i give my life for the    
sheep4  #aj #aj3af;,and other sheep ,i  
have which are not of this fold2 and    
them ,i must lead1 and they shall hear  
my voice1 and there shall be one flock1

lay it down of myself4 ,i have a right  
to lay it down1 and ,i have a right to  
take it again2 this commandment have ,i 
received from my ,father4 #aj3ai,there  
was a division again among the ,jews on 
account of these words2 #aj3bj;and many 
of them said1 ,he has a demon1 and is   
mad2 why do you hear him8 #aj3ba,others 
said1 ,these are not the words of a     
demoniac2 can a demon open the eyes of  
the blind8    ,,chapter ,,xiii4

,jews came around him and said to him1  
,how long do you hold our minds in      
doubt8 ,if you are the ,christ1 tell us 
plainly4 #aj3be;,jesus answered them1 ,i
 have told you and you believe not2 the 
works which ,i perform in my ,father's  
name1 these testify of me2 #aj3bf;but   

you believe not1 because you are not of 
my sheep4 ,as ,i said to you1 #aj3bg,my 
sheep hear my voice and ,i know them1   
and they follow me1 #aj3bh;and ,i give  
them eternal life1 and they shall never 
perish nor shall any one pluck them out

them to me is greater than all1 and no  
one can pluck them out of my ,father's  
hand4  #aj3cj;,i and the ,father are    
one4  #b #aj3ca,then the ,jews took up  
stones again to stone him4              
#aj3cb;,jesus answered them1 ,many good 
works have ,i shown you from the        
,father2 for which of these works do you
 stone me8 #aj3cc,the ,jews answered    
him1 ,we do not stone you for a good    
work1 but for blasphemy1 and because    
you1 being a man1 make yourself ,god4   
#aj3cd;,jesus answered them1 ,is it not 
written in your law1 ,i said you are    
gods8 #aj3ce;,if he called them gods to 
whom the word of ,god came1 and the     
,scripture cannot be broken1 #aj3cf;do  
you tell him whom the ,father has       

sanctified and sent into the world1 ,you
 blaspheme1 because ,i said1 ,i am the

#aj3ch;but if ,i do1 though you believe 
not me1 believe the works1 that you may 
know and understand that the ,father is 
in me and ,i in the ,father4            
#aj3ci,then they sought again to take   
him by force2 and he escaped out of     
their hand4  #c #aj3dj;,and he went away
 again beyond the ,jordan to the place  
where ,john first baptized1 and         
continued there4 #aj3da;,and many came  
to him and said1 ,john performed no     
miracle1 but all things which ,john said
 of this man were true4 #aj3db;,and many
 believed on him there4    ,,chapter

ointment and wiped his feet with her    

hairs1 whose brother ,lazarus was sick4

saying1 ,lord1 behold1 he whom you love

said1 ,this sickness is not to death1   
but for the glory of ,god1 that the ,son

 sister1 and ,lazarus4  #aa3f,when1     
therefore1 he heard that he was sick1 he
 continued in the place where he was two

him1 ,rabbi1 the ,jews lately sought to 
stone you1 and do you go there again8

twelve hours of the day8 and if one     
walks in the day he does not stumble1   
because he sees the light of this world2

stumbles1 because the light is not in

said to him1 ,lord1 if he has fallen    
asleep he will recover4 #aa3ac;,but

thought that he spoke of the rest of

arose quickly and came to him2

 consoling her1 seeing ,mary that she   

arose and went out quickly1 followed    
her1 saying1 ,she goes to the tomb to   
weep there4 #aa3cb,then ,mary1 when she

 down at his feet1 saying to him1 ,lord1

being agitated within himself came to   
the tomb2 it was a cave1 and a stone lay
 upon it4 #aa3ci;,jesus said1 ,take away
 the stone4 ,martha1 the sister of the  
dead1 said to him1 ,lord1 by this time  
he smells2 for he has been dead four    
days4 #aa3dj;,jesus said to her1 ,did ,i

 not tell you that if you will believe  
you shall see the glory of ,god8 #aa3da 
,then they took away the stone4 ,and    
,jesus lifted his eyes above1 and said1 
,father1 ,i thank thee that thou hast   
heard me2 #aa3db;and ,i knew that thou  
hearest me always2 but for the sake of  
the multitude who stand by ,i said it1  
that they may believe that thou hast    
sent me4 #aa3dc;,and having said these  
things1 he cried with a loud voice1     
,lazarus1 come forth4 #aa3dd;,and the   
dead came forth1 bound as to his feet   
and hands with bandages1 and his face   
was bound with a napkin4 ,jesus said to 
them1 ,unbind him1 and let him go4  #f  
#aa3de,then many of the ,jews who came  
with ,mary1 and saw what ,jesus did1    
believed on him2 #aa3df;but some of them
 went away to the ,pharisees and told   
them what ,jesus had done4  #g          
#aa3dg,then the chief priests and       
,pharisees convened the ,sanhedrim1 and 
said1 ,what do we accomplish8 for this  
man performs many miracles4 #aa3dh;,if  

we leave him thus all will believe on   
him2 and the ,romans will come and take 
away our place and nation4  #aa3di;,and 
one of them1 ,caiaphas1 being chief     
priest that year1 said to them1 ,you    
know nothing at all1 #aa3ejneither      
consider that it is expedient for us    
that one man should die for the people1 
and not that all the nation should      
perish4 #aa3ea,this he said not of      
himself1 but being chief priest that    
year he prophesied that ,jesus was about
 to die for the nation2 #aa3eb;and not  
for the nation only1 but to bring       
together into one body all the children 
of ,god scattered abroad4 #aa3ec;,from  
that day1 therefore1 they took counsel  
to kill him4  #h #aa3ed,then ,jesus     
walked no more openly among the ,jews1  
but went thence to a region near the    
wilderness1 to a city called ,ephraim1  
and there he staid with his disciples4  
#aa3ee;,and the passover of the ,jews   
was nigh1 and many went up from the     
country to ,jerusalem1 before the       

passover1 to purify themselves4         
#aa3ef,then they sought ,jesus1 and     
standing in the temple said one to      
another1 ,what do you think8 that he    
will not come to the feast8 #aa3eg;,and 
the chief priests and ,pharisees had    
given commandment1 that if any one knew 
where he was he should make it known1   
that they might take him by force4      
,,chapter ,,xv4  ,,christ ,,at          
,,bethany1 ,,his ,,triumphant ,,entrance
 ,,into ,,jerusalem1 ,,etc4  #a         
#ab3a,,then ,jesus1 six days before the 
passover1 came to ,bethany1 where       
,lazarus was whom ,jesus had raised from
 the dead4  #ab3b,then they made him a  
supper there1 and ,martha served2 but   
,lazarus was one of those that reclined 
with him4 #ab3c,then ,mary taking a     
pound of genuine nard1 very costly1     
anointed the feet of ,jesus1 and wiped  
his feet with her hairs4 ,and the house 
was filled with the odor of the         
ointment4 #ab3d;,but the ,iscariot1 one 
of his disciples1 who was about to      

betray him1 said1 #ab3e,why was not this
 ointment sold for three hundred denarii
 #db1 and given to the poor8 #ab3f;,but 
he said this1 not that he cared for the 
poor1 but because he was a thief1 and   
had the treasure-chest1 and carried off 
the things put in it4 #ab3g,then ,jesus 
said1 ,let her alone1 that she may keep 
this for the day of preparation for my  
burial2 #ab3hthe poor you always have   
with you1 but me you have not always4   
#b #ab3i;,a great multitude of the      
,jews1 therefore1 knew that he was      
there1 and came1 not on account of      
,jesus only1 but also to see ,lazarus   
whom he had raised from the dead4       
#ab3aj;,and the chief priests took      
counsel to kill ,lazarus also1          
#ab3aa;because many of the ,jews        
withdrew on his account and believed in 
,jesus4  #c #ab3ab,on the next day a    
great multitude having come to the      
feast1 having heard that ,jesus was     
coming to ,jerusalem1 #ab3actook        
branches of palm trees1 and went out to 

meet him1 and cried1 ,hosanna1 blessed  
is he that comes in the name of the     
,lord1 the ,king of ,israel6 #ab3ad;,and
 ,jesus finding a young ass sat on it1  
as it is written2 #ab3ae;,fear not1     
,daughter of ,zion2 behold1 your ,king  
comes sitting on the colt of an ass4    
#ab3af;,his disciples did not understand
 these things at first2 but when ,jesus 
was glorified then they remembered that 
these things were written of him1 and   
that they had done these things to him4 
#ab3ag,the multitude1 therefore1 which  
was with him1 testified that he called  
,lazarus from the tomb1 and raised him  
from the dead4 #ab3ah,on this account   
also the multitude met him1 because they
 heard that he had performed this       
miracle4 #ab3ai,the ,pharisees1         
therefore1 said among themselves1 ,you  
see that you have gained nothing2       
behold1 the world has gone after him4   
#ab3bj;,and there were some ,greeks of  
those who went up to ,jerusalem to      
worship at the feast2 #ab3bathese1      

therefore1 came to ,philip1 who was from
 ,bethsaida of ,galilee1 and asked him1 
saying1 ,sir1 we wish to see ,jesus4    
#ab3bb,philip went and told ,andrew1 and
 again ,andrew and ,philip went and told
 ,jesus4  #ab3bc;,and ,jesus answered   
them1 saying1 ,the hour has come that   
the ,son of man should be glorified4    
#ab3bd;,i tell you most truly1 that     
unless the kernel of wheat falls into   
the earth and dies1 it continues alone2 
but if it dies1 it bears much fruit4    
#ab3be;,he that loves his life shall    
lose it1 and he that hates his life in  
this world shall preserve it to eternal 
life4 #ab3bf;,if any man serves me let  
him follow me2 and where ,i am there    
also shall my servant be4 ,if anyone    
serves me1 him will the ,father honor4  
#ab3bg,now is my soul troubled2 and what
 shall ,i say8 ,father1 save me from    
this hour4 ,but for this cause came ,i  
to this hour2 #ab3bh;,father1 glorify   
thy name4 ,then came a voice from       
heaven1 ,i have both glorified and will 

glorify it again4 #ab3bi,then the       
multitude standing and hearing1 said1   
,it was thunder2 others said1 ,an angel 
spoke to him4 #ab3cj ,jesus answered and
 said1 ,this voice was not on my        
account1 but for you4 #ab3ca ,there is  
now a judgment of this world2 the ruler 
of this world shall now be cast out2    
#ab3cb;and if ,i am raised on high from 
the earth ,i will draw all men to me4   
#ab3cc;,but this he said1 signifying by 
what death he was about to die4  #e     
#ab3cd,then the multitude answered him1 
,we have heard from the law that the    
,christ continues forever2 and how say  
you1 ,the ,son of man must be raised on 
high8 ,who is this ,son of man8         
#ab3ce,then ,jesus said to them1 ,yet a 
little while is the light with you2 walk
 while you have the light1 that darkness
 may not overtake you2 for he that walks
 in darkness knows not where he goes4   
#ab3cf ,while you have the light1       
believe in the light1 that you may be   
children of light4 ,jesus said these    

things1 and went away and concealed     
himself from them4  #f #ab3cg;,but      
though he had performed so many miracles
 before them they did not believe in    
him2 #ab3chthat the word of ,isaiah the 
prophet1 which he spoke1 might be       
fulfilled2 ,lord1 who has believed our  
report8 and to whom has the arm of the  
,lord been revealed8 #ab3ci;,for this   
reason they could not believe1 because1 
,isaiah said again1 #ab3dj;,he has      
blinded their eyes1 and hardened their  
hearts1 that they should not see with   
their eyes and understand with their    
hearts1 and be converted1 and ,i should 
cure them4 #ab3da;,isaiah said these    
things because he saw his glory1 and    
spoke of him4 #ab3db,nevertheless1 many 
of the rulers believed on him1 but on   
account of the ,pharisees did not       
confess him1 lest they should be put out
 of the synagogues2 #ab3dc;for they     
loved the glory of men more than the    
glory of ,god4  #g #ab3dd;,and ,jesus   
cried and said1 ,he that believes on me1

 believes not on me but on him that sent
 me2 #ab3de;and he that beholds me      
beholds him that sent me4 #ab3df;,i have
 come a light into the world1 that no   
one who believes in me should continue  
in darkness4 #ab3dg;,and if any one     
hears my words and keeps them not1 ,i do
 not judge him2 for ,i came not to judge
 the world but to save the world4       
#ab3dh;,he that rejects me and receives 
not my words1 has one that judges him2  
the word which ,i have spoken1 that     
shall judge him at the last day4 #ab3di 
,for ,i have not spoken of myself2 but  
the ,father who sent me gave me         
commandment what to say and what to     
speak2 #ab3ej;and ,i know that his      
commandment is eternal life4 ,what      
things ,i speak1 therefore1 ,i so speak 
as the ,father has told me4    ,,chapter
 ,,xvi4  ,,christ ,,at ,,the ,,last     
,,supper1 ,,and ,,his ,,sermon ,,to     
,,the ,,eleven4  #a #ac3a;,,and before  
the feast of the passover1 ,jesus       
knowing that his hour had come to depart

 from this world to the ,father1 having 
loved his own in the world he loved them
 to the end4 #ac3b;,and supper being    
over1 the devil having already put it in
 the heart that ,judas ,iscariot1 the   
son of ,simon1 should betray him1       
#ac3c;he knowing that the ,father had   
given all things into his hands1 and    
that he came from ,god and was going to 
,god1 #ac3d;arose from supper1 and laid 
aside his clothes1 and taking a towel   
girded himself3 #ac3e,then he put water 
into the wash-basin1 and began to wash  
the disciples' feet1 and to wipe them   
with the towel with which he was girded4
  #b #ac3f,then he came to ,simon       
,peter2 he said to him1 ,lord1 do you   
wash my feet8 #ac3g;,jesus answered and 
said to him1 ,what ,i do you know not   
now1 but you shall know hereafter4      
#ac3h,peter said to him1 ,you shall     
never by any means wash my feet4 ,he    
answered him1 ,unless ,i wash you you   
have no part with me4 #ac3i,simon ,peter
 said to him1 ,lord1 not my feet only1  

but my hands and my head4  #ac3aj ,jesus
 said to him1 ,he that is washed needs  
only that his feet should be washed1 but
 is wholly pure2 and you are pure1 but  
not all4 #ac3aa;,for he knew him that   
was to betray him2 therefore1 he said1  
,you are not all pure4  #c #ac3ab,when1 
therefore1 he had washed their feet1 and
 taken his clothes and sat down again1  
he said to them1 ,do you know what ,i   
have done to you8 #ac3ac ,you call me   
,teacher and ,lord2 and you say well1   
for ,i am4 #ac3ad;,if ,i then1 the ,lord

another's feet4  #ac3ae;,for ,i have

should do as ,i have done4 #ac3af;,i    
tell you most truly1 the servant is not

blessed are you if you do them4         
#ac3ah;,i speak not of you all2 ,i know

,scripture may be fulfilled1 ,he that   
eats bread with me has lifted up his

 this time1 before it occurs1 that when 
it occurs you may believe that ,i am the

 ,he that receives one that ,i send     
receives me2 and he that receives me    
receives him that sent me4  #d          
#ac3ba;,having said these things ,jesus 
was troubled in spirit1 and testified   
and said1 ,i tell you most truly1 that  
one of you shall betray me4 #ac3bb,the  
disciples looked one on another1        
doubting of whom he spoke4 #ac3bc,one of
 his disciples1 whom ,jesus loved1 was  
reclining on the bosom of ,jesus4       
#ac3bd,then ,simon ,peter made signs to 
this man1 and said to him1 ,ask who it  
is of whom he speaks4 #ac3be;,he1       
falling down on the breast of ,jesus1   
said to him1 ,lord1 who is it8          
#ac3bf,then ,jesus answered1 ,it is he  
to whom ,i will dip and give the        
mouthful4 ,then dipping the mouthful1 he

 took and gave it to ,judas1 the son of 
,simon ,iscariot4 #ac3bg;,and after the 
mouthful1 then ,satan entered into him4 
,then ,jesus said to him1 ,what you do1 
do quickly4 #ac3bh,no one of those      
reclining knew for what purpose he said 
this to him1 #ac3bi;for some thought1   
since ,judas had the treasure-chest1    
that ,jesus said to him1 ,buy what we   
need for the feast2 or1 that he should  
give something to the poor4 #ac3cj;,he1 
therefore1 having taken the mouthful1   
immediately went out2 and it was night4

said1 ,now the ,son of man has been     
glorified1 and ,god has been glorified

glorified in him1 ,god will also glorify
 him in himself1 and will immediately   
glorify him4 #ac3cc,my little children1 
,i am with you yet a little while4 ,you

#ac3cf,simon ,peter said to him1 ,lord1 
where do you go8 ,jesus answered ,where 
,i go you cannot follow me now1 but you 
shall follow afterwards4 #ac3cg,peter   
said to him1 ,lord1 why can ,i not      
follow you now8 ,i will lay down my life

you from the ,father1 the ,spirit of    
truth which proceeds from the ,father1  
he shall testify of me2 #ae3bg;and you  
shall also testify1 because you have    
been with me from the beginning4  #c    
#af3a,these things ,i have said to you1 
that you may not be offended4 #af3b     
,they shall put you out of the          

synagogues2 but the hour is coming when 
every one that kills you will think he  
renders ,god a service4 #af3c;,and these
 things they will do1 because they have 
not known the ,father nor me4 #af3d;,but
 these things ,i have told you1 that    
when the time comes you may remember    
that ,i told you of them4 ,but ,i told  
you not these things at the beginning1  
because ,i was with you4 #af3e;,but now 
,i go to him that sent me1 and no one of
 you asks me1 ,where do you go8         
#af3f;,but because ,i have said these   
things to you1 sorrow has filled your   
hearts4 #af3g;,but ,i tell you the      
truth2 it is expedient for you that ,i  
should go away2 for if ,i do not go     
away1 the ,comforter will not come to   
you2 but if ,i go ,i will send him to   
you4  #af3h;,and when he has come1 he   
will convince the world of sin1 and of  
righteousness1 and of judgment3 #af3iof 
sin1 because they believe not on me2    
#af3aj;and of righteousness1 because ,i 
go to my ,father1 and you behold me no  

more2 #af3aa;and of judgment1 because   
the ruler of this world has been judged4
  #d #af3ab;,i have many things yet to  
say to you1 but you cannot bear them    
now2 #af3ac;but when he1 the ,spirit of 
truth has come1 he will lead you in all 
the truth2 for he will not speak of     
himself1 but he will speak whatever he  
shall hear1 and tell you things to come4
 #af3ad;,he shall glorify me1 because he
 shall receive from me and tell you4    
#af3ae;,all things that the ,father has1
 are mine2 on this account ,i said1 ,he 
shall receive of me and tell you4  #e   
#af3af;,a little while and you shall not
 see me2 and again a little while and   
you shall see me4 #af3ag,then some of   
his disciples said one to another1 ,what
 is this that he says to us1 ,a little  
while and you shall not see me1 and     
again a little while and you shall see  
me8 and1 ,because ,i go to the ,father8 
#af3ah,they said therefore1 ,what is    
this that he says1 ,the little while8   
,we do not know what he says4  #f       

#af3ai;,jesus knew that they wished to  
ask him1 and said to them1 ,do you      
inquire among yourselves concerning this
 that ,i said1 ,a little while and you  
shall not see me1 and again a little    
while and you shall see me8 #af3bj;,i   
tell you most truly1 that you shall weep
 and lament1 but the world shall        
rejoice2 and you shall be sorrowful1 but
 your sorrow shall become joy4          
#af3ba;,for when a woman is in labor she
 has pain1 because her time has come2   
but when she has borne the child she no 
longer remembers the distress1 because  
of joy that a man is born into the      
world4  #af3bb;,and you therefore now   
indeed have sorrow2 but ,i will see you 
again1 and your hearts shall rejoice1   
and your joy no one shall take from you4
 #af3bc;,and in that day you shall ask  
me nothing2 ,i tell you most truly1     
whatever you shall ask the ,father1 he  
will give you in my name4 #af3bd ,till  
now you have asked nothing in my name2  
ask and you shall receive1 that your joy

 may be complete4  #g #af3be,these      
things have ,i spoken to you in         
parables4 ,the time is coming when ,i   
will no more speak to you in parables1  
but ,i will tell you plainly of the     
,father4 #af3bf;,in that day you shall  
ask in my name1 and ,i tell you not that
 ,i will ask the ,father for you2       
#af3bg;for the ,father himself is a     
friend to you1 because you have been    
friends to me1 and believed that ,i came
 forth from ,god4 #af3bh;,i came forth  
from the ,father and have come into the 
world2 again ,i leave the world and go  
to the ,father4  #h #af3bi,then his     
disciples said to him1 ,behold1 now you 
speak plainly1 and say no parable2      
#af3cjnow we know that you know all     
things1 and have no need that any one   
should ask you2 on this account we      
believe that you have come forth from   
,god4  #af3ca;,jesus answered them1 ,do 
you now believe8 #af3cb;,behold1 the    
time is coming1 and has come1 that you  
shall be scattered every one to his own1

 and leave me alone2 and ,i am not      
alone1 for the ,father is with me4      
#af3cc,these things have ,i told you1

betrayed him knew the place1 for ,jesus

the officers of the chief priests and

the guard and the chiliarch and the

 to them1 ,take him yourselves1 and     

judge him according to your law4 ,the

king4 ,for this was ,i born1 and for    
this ,i came into the world1 that ,i    
should testify to the truth2 every one  

who is of the truth hears my voice4

 again to the ,jews1 and said to them1  
,i find no fault in him4 #ah3ci;,but you
 have a custom that ,i should release   
one to you at the passover2 are you     
willing1 therefore1 that ,i should      
release to you the king of the ,jews8

,not this man1 but ,barabbas4 ,but      
,barabbas was a robber4  #c #ai3a,then

 crown of thorns put it on his head2 and
 they put a purple garment about him1

,behold1 ,i bring him out to you1 that  
you may know that ,i find no fault in

garment4 ,and he said to them1 ,behold  

the man6 #ai3f,when therefore the chief

cried1 saying1 ,crucify him6 crucify    
him6 ,pilate said to them1 ,take him    
yourselves and crucify him1 for ,i find 
no fault in him4 #ai3g,the ,jews

 law he ought to die because he made    
himself the ,son of ,god4  #d #ai3h,when
 therefore ,pilate heard this charge he 
was more afraid1 #ai3i;and entered into

gave him no answer4  #ai3aj,pilate said 
to him1 ,do you not speak to me8 ,do you
 not know that ,i have power to release 
you1 and ,i have power to crucify you8

had no power against me if it had not   
been given you from above2 therefore he 
that delivered me to you has a greater  
sin4  #e #ai3ab;,from that time ,pilate

cried1 saying1 ,if you release this man

against ,caesar4 #ai3ac,then ,pilate

preparation of the passover1 it was     
about the sixth hour noon2 and he said

him1 away with him6 crucify him6 ,pilate
 said to them1 ,shall ,i crucify your   
king8 ,the chief priests answered1 ,we  
have no king but ,caesar4 #ai3af,then

 crucified4    ,,chapter ,,xxi4

took ,jesus1 and putting the cross on   
him he went out to what is called the   
place of a cranium1 which in ,hebrew is 
called ,golgotha1 #ai3ah where they     
crucified him1 and two others with him1 
one on one side and the other on the    
other1 and ,jesus between4 #ai3ai;,and  

,pilate wrote an inscription and put on 
the cross4 ,and it was written1 ,,jesus 
,,the ,,nazoraean1 ,,the ,,king ,,of    
,,the ,,jews4 #ai3bj,many of the ,jews  
therefore read this inscription1 because
 the place where ,jesus was crucified   
was nigh the city2 and it was written in
 ,hebrew1 ,latin1 and ,greek4           
#ai3ba,then the chief priests of the    
,jews said to ,pilate1 ,write not1 ,the 
,king of the ,jews1 but that he said1 ,i
 am ,king of the ,jews4 #ai3bb,pilate   
answered1 what ,i have written ,i have  
written4  #b #ai3bc,then the soldiers1  
when they crucified ,jesus1 took his    
clothes and made four parts1 a part to  
each soldier1 and his coat4 ,but his    
coat was without seam1 woven from the   
top through the whole4 #ai3bd,they said1
 therefore1 one to another1 ,let us not 
divide this1 but cast lots for it whose 
it shall be2 that the ,scripture might  
be fulfilled1 which says1 ,they parted  
my garments among them1 and for my      
clothing they cast lots4 ,the soldiers  

therefore did indeed these things4  #c  
#ai3be;,and there stood by the cross of 
,jesus1 his mother1 and the sister of   
his mother1 ,mary the wife of ,cleopas1 
and ,mary the ,magdalene4 #ai3bf,then   
,jesus seeing his mother1 and the       
disciple standing by whom he loved1 said
 to his mother1 ,woman1 behold your son4
 #ai3bg,then he said to the disciple1   
,behold your mother4 ,and from that hour
 the disciple took her to his own house4
  #d #ai3bh;,after this1 ,jesus knowing 
that all things were already finished1  
that the ,scripture might be fully      
accomplished1 said1 ,i thirst4          
#ai3bi,then a vessel was set full of    
vinegar2 and filling a sponge with      
vinegar1 and putting it on a hyssop     
stalk1 they presented it to his mouth4  
#ai3cj,when therefore ,jesus took the   
vinegar1 he said1 ,it is finished2 and  
inclining his head gave up the spirit4  
#e #ai3ca,then the ,jews1 that the      
bodies might not continue on the cross  
on the sabbath1 for it was the          

preparation1 for that was a great       
sabbath1 asked ,pilate that their legs  
might be broken and they be taken down4 
#ai3cb,then the soldiers came and broke 
the legs of the first and of the other  
crucified with him1 #ai3cc;and coming to
 ,jesus1 when they saw him already dead1
 they broke not his legs2 #ai3cd;but one
 of the soldiers pierced his side with a
 spear1 and immediately there came out  
blood and water4 #ai3ce;,he who saw has 
testified1 and his testimony is true1   
for he knows that he says what is true1 
that you also may believe4 #ai3cf;,for  
these things were done that the         
,scripture might be fulfilled1 ,not a   
bone of him shall be broken2 #ai3cg;and 
again another ,scripture says1 ,they    
shall look on him whom they have        
pierced4  #f #ai3ch;,after these things 
,joseph from ,arimathea1 being a        
disciple of ,jesus1 but secretly for    
fear of the ,jews1 asked ,pilate that he
 might take down the body of ,jesus2 and
 ,pilate permitted him4 ,then he came   

and took his body4 #ai3ci;,and          
,nicodemus1 who at first came to ,jesus 
by night1 also came bringing a mixture  
of myrrh and aloes1 about a hundred     
pounds4  #ai3dj,then they took the body 
of ,jesus1 and bound it with bandages1  
with the spices1 as the custom of the   
,jews is to prepare for burial4         
#ai3da;,and there was in the place where
 he was crucified a garden1 and in the  
garden a new tomb1 in which no one was  
yet laid4 #ai3db;,in that therefore they
 laid ,jesus1 on account of the         
preparation of the ,jews1 because the   
tomb was near4    ,,chapter ,,xxii4     
,,christ ,,after ,,the ,,resurrection4  
#a #bj3a;,,and on the first day of the  
week1 ,mary the ,magdalene came in the  
morning1 while it was yet dark1 to the  
tomb and saw the stone taken away from  
the tomb4 #bj3b,then she ran and came to
 ,simon ,peter1 and to the other        
disciple whom ,jesus loved1 and said to 
them1 ,they have taken away the ,lord   
from the tomb1 and we know not where    

they have laid him4 #bj3c,then went     
,peter and the other disciple1 and came 
to the tomb4 #bj3d;,and the two ran     
together2 and the other disciple outran 
,peter and came first to the tomb1      
#bj3e;and stooping down saw the bandages
 lying1 but he went not in4 #bj3f,then  
,simon ,peter came following him1 and   
went into the tomb1 and beheld the      
bandages lying1 #bj3g;and the napkin    
which was on his head not lying with the
 bandages but folded up in a place by   
itself4 #bj3h,then the other disciple   
who came first to the tomb also entered 
in1 and saw and believed2 #bj3i;for they
 did not yet know the ,scripture1 that  
he must rise from the dead4  #bj3aj,then
 the disciples went away by themselves4 
#b #bj3aa;,but ,mary stood at the tomb  
outside1 weeping4 ,then as she wept she 
stooped down to the tomb1 #bj3ab;and saw
 two angels in white sitting one at the 
head and the other at the feet1 where   
the body of ,jesus had lain4 #bj3ac;,and
 they said to her1 ,woman1 why do you   

weep8 ,she said to them1 ,because they  
have taken my ,lord and ,i know not     
where they have laid him4 #bj3ad;,having
 said these words she turned around and 
beheld ,jesus standing1 and knew not    
that it was ,jesus4 #bj3ae;,jesus said  
to her1 ,woman1 why do you weep8 whom do
 you seek8 ,she1 supposing that he was  
the gardener1 said to him1 ,sir1 if you 
have borne him away1 tell me where you  
have laid him1 and ,i will take him4    
#bj3af;,jesus said to her1 ,mary4 ,she1 
turning around1 said to him in ,hebrew1 
,rabboni1 which is interpreted1         
,teacher4 #bj3ag;,jesus said to her1 ,do
 not touch me2 for ,i have not yet      
ascended to the ,father2 but go to my   
brothers and tell them1 ,i ascend to my 
,father and your ,father1 and my ,god   
and your ,god4 #bj3ah,mary the          
,magdalene came and told the disciples  
that she had seen the ,lord1 and that he
 said these things to her4  #c          
#bj3ai,then when it was evening1 on that
 first day of the week1 and the doors   

were shut where the disciples were for  
fear of the ,jews1 ,jesus came and stood
 in the midst1 and said to them1 ,peace 
be to you4 #bj3bj;,and having said this 
he showed them both his hands and his   
side2 then the disciples rejoiced when  
they saw the ,lord4 #bj3ba,then he said 
to them again1 ,peace be to you2 as the 
,father has sent me1 ,i also send you4  
#bj3bb;,and having said this he breathed
 on them1 and said to them1 ,receive the
 ,holy ,spirit4  #bj3bc,those whose sins
 you forgive1 are forgiven2 and whose   
you retain1 are retained4  #d           
#bj3bd;,but ,thomas1 one of the twelve1 
called the ,twin1 was not with them when
 ,jesus came4 #bj3be,then the other     
disciples said to him1 ,we have seen the
 ,lord2 but he said to them1 ,unless ,i 
see in his hands the impression of the  
nails1 and put my finger in the         
impression of the nails1 and put my hand
 in his side1 ,i will not believe4      
#bj3bf;,and after eight days his        
disciples were again within1 and ,thomas

 with them4 ,jesus came1 the doors being
 shut1 and stood in the midst1 and said1
 ,peace be to you4 #bj3bg,then he said  
to ,thomas1 ,reach here your finger and 
behold my hands1 and reach your hand and
 put it in my side1 and be not faithless
 but believing4 #bj3bh,thomas answered  
and said to him1 ,my ,lord and my ,god4 
#bj3bi;,jesus said to him1 ,because you 
have seen me you have believed2 blessed 
are those who have not seen and         
believed4  #e #bj3cj;,jesus performed   
also many other miracles in the presence
 of his disciples which are not recorded
 in this book2 #bj3ca;but these are     
recorded that you may believe that      
,jesus is the ,christ1 the ,son of ,god1
 and that believing you may have life in
 his name4  #f #ba3a;,after these things
 he showed himself again to the         
disciples at the lake of ,tiberias2 and 
he showed himself thus4  #ba3b,simon    
,peter1 and ,thomas called the ,twin1   
and ,nathaniel who was from ,cana in    
,galilee1 and the sons of ,zebedee1 and 

two others of his disciples were        
together4 #ba3c,simon ,peter said to    
them1 ,i am going a fishing4 ,they said 
to him1 ,we will also go with you4      
,they went out and entered into the     
ship2 and on that night caught nothing1 
#ba3d;but when it was now morning ,jesus
 stood on the shore2 but the disciples  
knew not that it was ,jesus4 #ba3e,then 
,jesus said to them1 ,children1 have you
 any thing to eat8 ,they answered him1  
,no4 #ba3f;,and he said to them1 ,cast  
the net on the right side of the ship   
and you shall find4 ,then they cast it1 
and they were not able to draw it from  
the number of fishes4  #ba3g,then that  
disciple whom ,jesus loved said to      
,peter1 ,it is the ,lord4 ,then ,simon  
,peter1 hearing that it was the ,lord1  
girded on his coat1 for he was naked1   
and cast himself into the lake4         
#ba3h;,but the other disciples came with
 the boat1 drawing the net of fishes1   
for they were not far from the land1 but
 about two hundred cubits distant4      

#ba3i,then when they came to land they  
saw coals placed1 and a fish laid upon  
them1 and bread4 #ba3aj ,jesus said to  
them1 ,bring of the fish that you have  
now caught4  #ba3aa,simon ,peter went   
and drew the net to the land1 full of   
great fishes a hundred and fifty-three2 
and though there were so many the net   
was not broken4 #ba3ab;,jesus said to   
them1 ,come and breakfast4 ,no one of   
the disciples dared to ask him1 ,who are
 you8  for they knew that he was the    
,lord4 #ba3ac;,jesus came and took the  
bread and gave them1 and the fish       
likewise4 #ba3ad,this was now the third 
time that ,jesus appeared to his        
disciples after he had arisen from the  
dead4  #g #ba3ae,when therefore they had
 breakfasted1 ,jesus said to ,simon     
,peter1 ,simon1 son of ,john1 do you    
love me more than these8 ,he said to    
him1 ,yes1 ,lord1 you know that ,i am a 
friend to you4 ,he said to him1 ,feed my
 lambs4 #ba3af;,again he said to him a  
second time2 ,simon1 son of ,john1 do   

you love me8 ,he said to him1 ,yes1     
,lord1 you know that ,i am a friend to  
you4 ,he said to him1 ,feed my sheep4   
#ba3ag ,he said to him a third time2    
,simon1 son of ,john1 are you a friend  
to me8 ,peter was grieved that he said  
to him the third time1 ,are you a friend
 to me8 and he said to him1 ,lord you   
know all things2 you know that ,i am a  
friend to you4 ,jesus said to him1 ,feed
 my sheep4 #ba3ah;,i tell you most      
truly1 that when you were young you     
girded yourself and walked where you    
would2 but when you become old1 you     
shall stretch out your hands and another
 shall bind you and carry you where you 
would not2 #ba3ai;but he said this      
signifying by what death he should      
glorify ,god2 and having said this1 he  
said to him1 ,follow me4  #h #ba3bj;,and
 ,peter turning around saw the disciple 
whom ,jesus loved following1 who also   
reclined at the supper on his breast and
 said1 ,lord1 who is it that is to      
betray you8 #ba3ba,peter seeing him said

 to ,jesus1 ,lord1 and what shall this  
man do8  #ba3bb;,jesus said to him1 ,if 
,i wish him to continue till ,i come1   
what is that to you8 follow me4         
#ba3bc,the report then went out among   
the brothers that this disciple would   
not die2 but ,jesus said not to him1 ,he
 shall not die2 but1 ,if ,i wish him to 
continue till ,i come1 what is that to  
you8  #i #ba3bd,this is the disciple who
 testifies of these things and has      
written them2 and we know that his      
testimony is true4  #ba3be;,and there   
are many other things which ,jesus did1 
which1 if they should be written        
particularly1 ,i do not suppose the     
world itself could contain the books    
written4     ,,acts ,,of ,,the          
,,apostles4   ,,chapter ,i4  ,,christ',s
 ,,ascension1 ,,and ,,the ,,election    
,,of ,,an ,,apostle ,,in ,,the ,,place  
,,of ,,judas4  #a #a3a;,i ,,wrote my    
first account1 ,o ,theophilus1 of all   
things which ,jesus did and taught1     
#a3btill the day that having given      

charge to the apostles whom he chose by 
the ,holy ,spirit he was taken up2      
#a3cto whom also he presented himself   
living after his suffering1 by many     
proofs1 being seen by them during forty 
days1 and speaking things relating to   
the kingdom of ,god4 #a3d;,and          
assembling them1 he charged them not to 
depart from ,jerusalem1 but to wait for 
the promise of the ,father1 which says  
he you have heard from me2 #a3ethat     
,john baptized indeed with water1 but   
you shall be baptized with the ,holy    
,spirit after a few days4  #b #a3f,they 
therefore having come together asked    
him1 saying1 ,lord1 will you at this    
time restore the kingdom of ,israel8    
#a3g;,and he said to them1 ,it is not   
your province to know the times or      
seasons which the ,father has appointed 
by his own authority2 #a3h;but you shall
 receive power when the ,holy ,spirit   
has come upon you1 and shall be my      
witnesses both in ,jerusalem1 and all   
,judea1 and ,samaria1 and to the end of 

the earth4 #a3i;,and having said these  
words1 as they were looking on he was   
taken up1 and a cloud received him from 
their sight4 #a3aj;,and as they looked  
steadily to heaven while he went1       
behold1 two men stood by them in white  
clothing2 #a3aa;and they said1 ,men of  
,galilee1 why do you stand looking at   
heaven8 ,this ,jesus taken up from you  
to heaven shall so come in the manner in
 which you have seen him go to heaven4  
#c #a3ab,then they returned to          
,jerusalem from the mountain called the 
,mount of ,olives1 which is near        
,jerusalem1 a sabbath day's journey     
distant4 #a3ac;,and when they came1 they
 went up into the upper room where staid
 ,peter and ,john1 and ,james and       
,andrew1 ,philip and ,thomas1           
,bartholomew and ,matthew1 ,james the   
son of ,alpheus and ,simon the ,zealot1 
and ,judas the brother of ,james4       
#a3ad;,all these continued with one     
accord in prayer1 with the women1 and   
with ,mary the mother of ,jesus1 and his

 brothers4  #d #a3ae;,and in those days 
,peter standing up in the midst of the  
brothers1 said--the multitude together  
was about a hundred and twenty--        
#a3af,men and brothers1 it was necessary
 that the ,scripture should be fulfilled
 which the ,holy ,spirit spoke before by
 the mouth of ,david1 concerning ,judas 
who became a guide to them that         
apprehended ,jesus2 #a3ag;,for he was   
numbered with us1 and obtained the      
inheritance of this service4 #a3ah,this 
man therefore purchased a field with the
 price of the wickedness1 and falling   
headlong burst in the middle and all his
 bowels were poured out2 #a3ai;and this 
became known to all who lived at        
,jerusalem1 so that that field was      
called in their language ,aceldamach1   
which is ,field of blood4 #a3bj;,for it 
is written in the book of ,psalms1 ,let 
his dwelling be desolate and let no one 
dwell in it1 and his superintendency let
 another take4 #a3ba;,it is necessary   
therefore that one of the men who have  

gone with us all the time in which the  
,lord ,jesus went in and out among us1  
#a3bb;beginning from the baptism of     
,john till the day on which he was taken
 up from us1 should be made with us a   
witness of his resurrection4  #e        
#a3bc;,and they proposed two2 ,joseph   
called ,barsabbas1 who was also called  
,justus1 and ,matthias4 #a3bd;,and      
praying1 they said1 ,do thou1 ,lord1 the
 searcher of all hearts1 show which of  
these two thou hast chosen #a3beto take 
the place of this service and           
apostleship from which ,judas fell by   
transgression to go to his place4       
#a3bf;,and they cast their lots1 and the
 lot fell to ,matthias1 and he was      
numbered with the eleven apostles4      
,,chapter ,,ii4  ,,the ,,day ,,of       
,,pentecost ,,and ,,its ,,blessings4  #a
 #b3a;,,and when the day of ,pentecost  
had come1 they were all with one mind   
together4 #b3b;,and suddenly there came 
from heaven a sound as of a violent wind
 borne along1 and it filled all the     

house where they were sitting2 #b3c;and 
there appeared to them divided tongues  
as of fire1 and one sat on each one of  
them2 #b3d;and they were all filled with
 the ,holy ,spirit1 and began to speak  
with tongues as the ,spirit gave them   
utterance4  #b #b3e;,and there were     
,jews living at ,jerusalem1 pious men1  
of every nation under heaven2 #b3f;and  
when this sound was heard1 the multitude
 came together and were astonished1 for 
they each one heard them speaking in his
 own language4 #b3g;,and they were      
astonished and wondered1 saying1 ,are   
not all these that speak ,galileans8    
#b3h;,and how do we hear each one in our
 own language in which we were born1    
#b3i,parthians and ,medes and ,elamites1
 and those who live in ,mesopotamia1    
,judea1 and ,cappadocia1 ,pontus and    
,asia1 #b3aj,phrygia and ,pamphylia1    
,egypt and the parts of ,lybia about    
,cyrene1 and the ,roman strangers1 both 
,jews and proselytes1 #b3aa;,cretes and 
,arabs1 do we hear them speak in our    

tongues of the great works of ,god4     
#b3ab;,and they were all astonished and 
perplexed1 saying one to another1 ,what 
does this mean8 #b3ac;,but others       
mocking said1 ,they are full of sweet   
wine4  #c #b3ad;,but ,peter standing up 
with the eleven lifted up his voice and 
said to them1 ,men of ,judea1 and all   
who live at ,jerusalem1 be this known to
 you1 and attend to my words4 #b3ae;,for
 these are not drunk as you suppose1 for
 it is the third hour of the day #i     
,a4,m41 #b3af;but this is what was said 
by the prophet2 #b3ag;,in the last days1
 says ,god1 ,i will pour out of my      
,spirit on all flesh1 and your sons and 
your daughters shall prophesy1 and your 
young men shall see visions1 and your   
old men shall dream dreams2 #b3ah;and   
upon my male servants and upon my female
 servants in those days will ,i pour out
 of my ,spirit1 and they shall prophesy4
  #b3ai;,and ,i will show prodigies in  
heaven above and signs on the earth     
below1 blood and fire and a cloud of    

smoke4 #b3bj,the sun shall be turned    
into darkness and the moon into blood1  
before the great and illustrious day of 
the ,lord comes4 #b3ba;,and whoever     
shall call on the name of the ,lord     
shall be saved4  #d #b3bb,men of        
,israel1 hear these words2 ,jesus the   
,nazoraean1 a man approved by ,god to   
you by mighty works and prodigies and   
miracles1 which ,god performed by him in
 the midst of you1 as you yourselves    
know1 #b3bcthis man1 delivered up by the
 determinate counsel and foreknowledge  
of ,god1 you have affixed to the cross1 
and killed by the hand of the wicked1   
#b3bd;him has ,god raised up1 having    
loosed the pains of death1 as it was not
 possible that he should be held by it4 
#b3be;,for ,david says of him1 ,i saw   
the ,lord always before me1 he is on my 
right hand that ,i should not be moved2 
#b3bftherefore my heart rejoiced and my 
tongue was glad1 and my flesh1 moreover1
 shall also live in hope2 #b3bg;for thou
 wilt not leave my soul in hades1 nor   

suffer thy ,holy ,one to see            
destruction4 #b3bh,thou hast made me    
know the ways of life1 thou wilt fill me
 with joy with thy presence4  #e        
#b3bi,men and brothers1 let me speak to 
you freely of the patriarch ,david1 that
 he both died and was buried1 and his   
tomb is with us to this day4 #b3cj      
,being therefore a prophet1 and knowing 
that ,god swore with an oath to him to  
set a descendant of his on his throne1  
#b3ca;foreseeing he spoke of the        
resurrection of ,christ1 that he was not
 left in hades neither did his flesh see
 destruction4 #b3cb,this ,jesus has ,god
 raised up1 whose witnesses we all are4 
#b3cc;,being therefore exalted on the   
right hand of ,god1 and receiving the   
promise of the ,holy ,spirit from the   
,father1 he has poured this out which   
you both see and hear4  #b3cd;,for      
,david ascended not to heaven1 but he   
says1 ,the ,lord said to my lord1 ,sit  
on my right hand #b3cetill ,i make your 
enemies your footstool4 #b3cf,let all   

the house of ,israel therefore know     
certainly1 that ,god has made this      
,jesus whom you crucified both ,lord and
 ,christ4  #f #b3cg;,and hearing this   
they were distressed in mind1 and said  
to ,peter and the rest of the apostles1 
,men and brothers1 what shall we do8    
#b3ch;,and ,peter said to them1 ,change 
your minds1 and be baptized every one of
 you in the name of ,jesus ,christ for  
the forgiveness of sins1 and you shall  
receive the gift of the ,holy ,spirit4  
#b3ci;,for the promise is to you and    
your children1 and to all that are afar 
off1 as many as the ,lord our ,god shall
 call4  #b3dj;,and with many other words
 he testified and exhorted1 saying1     
,save yourselves from this perverse     
generation4  #g #b3da,then those that   
received his word were baptized1 and    
there were added on that day about three
 thousand souls2 #b3db;and they attended
 constantly to the teaching and         
companionship of the apostles1 the      
breaking of bread and the prayers4      

#b3dc;,and fear was on every soul1 and  
many prodigies and miracles were        
performed by the apostles4 #b3dd;,and   
all who believed were together and had  
all things common2 #b3de;and they sold  
their possessions and estates1 and      
distributed them to all as any one had  
need2 #b3df;and continuing day by day   
with one accord in the temple1 and      
breaking bread from house to house1 they
 partook of food with gladness and      
simplicity of mind1 #b3dgpraising ,god1 
and having favor with all the people4   
,and the ,lord added the saved1 day by  
day1 to the assembly church4            
,,chapter ,,iii4  ,,the ,,imprisonment  
,,of ,,peter ,,and ,,john4  #a          
#c3a;,,and ,peter and ,john went up     
together to the temple at the hour of   
prayer1 which is the ninth hour4        
#c3b;,and a certain man lame from his   
birth was carried and placed daily at   
the gate of the temple which is called  
,beautiful1 to ask charity of those     
going into the temple2 #c3cwho seeing   

,peter and ,john about to enter into the
 temple1 asked to receive a charity4    
#c3d;,but ,peter looking steadily at him
 with ,john1 said1 ,look on us4         
#c3e;,and he gave his attention to them1
 expecting to receive something from    
them4 #c3f;,but ,peter said1 ,silver and
 gold have ,i none2 but what ,i have1   
this ,i give you2 in the name of ,jesus 
,christ the ,nazoraean1 walk4 #c3g;,and 
taking him by the right hand he raised  
him up2 and immediately his feet and    
ankles were strengthened1 #c3h;and      
leaping up he stood and walked and      
entered with them into the temple1      
walking and leaping1 praising ,god4     
#c3i;,and all the people saw him walking
 and praising ,god2 #c3aj and they knew 
him1 that he was the one who sat for    
charity at the beautiful gate of the    
temple1 and they were filled with wonder
 and astonishment at what had happened  
to him4  #b #c3aa;,and as he held ,peter
 and ,john1 all the people ran to them  
in the porch which is called ,solomon's1

 greatly wondering4  #c3ab;,and ,peter  
seeing it answered the people1 ,men of  
,israel1 why do you wonder at this8 or  
why do you look intently at us as if by 
our power or piety we had made him walk8
 #c3ac,the ,god of ,abraham1 and ,isaac1
 and ,jacob1 the ,god of our fathers1   
glorified his servant ,jesus1 whom you  
delivered up and denied before ,pilate  
when he decided to release him2         
#c3ad;but you denied the ,holy and      
,righteous ,one1 and asked a murderer to
 be given you1 #c3ae;but killed the     
,prince of life1 whom ,god has raised   
from the dead1 whose witnesses we are4  
#c3af;,and by the faith of his name1 his
 name has made strong this man whom you 
behold and know1 and the faith which is 
by him has given him this entire        
soundness before you all4 #c3ag;,and    
now1 brothers1 ,i know that you did it  
without knowledge1 as did also your     
rulers2 #c3ah;but what ,god had before  
declared by the mouth of all the        
prophets that his ,anointed should      

suffer1 he has so accomplished4         
#c3ai;,change your minds1 therefore1 and
 turn yourselves1 that your sins may be 
blotted out1 that times of refreshing   
may come from the presence of the ,lord1
 #c3bj;and he send to you ,jesus ,christ
 before appointed1 #c3bawhom heaven must
 receive till the times of the          
restoration of all things of which ,god 
has spoken by the mouth of his holy     
prophets since the world began4         
#c3bb,moses indeed said1 ,a prophet     
shall the ,lord your ,god raise up to   
you1 of your brothers1 like me2 him     
shall you hear in all things which he   
shall speak to you2 #c3bc;and every soul
 which will not hear that prophet shall 
be destroyed from the people4 #c3bd;,and
 all the prophets1 from ,samuel and     
those following him in order1 who have  
spoken1 have also announced these days4 
#c3be,you are the children of the       
prophets1 and of the promise which ,god 
promised to our fathers1 saying to      
,abraham1 ,and in your offspring shall  

all the families of the earth be        
blessed4 #c3bf;,god having raised up his
 servant has sent him to you first1 to  
bless you by turning each one of you    
from your evil ways4  #c #d3a;,and while
 they were speaking to the people1 the  
priests1 and the commander of the       
temple1 and the ,sadducees came upon    
them1 #d3b;being displeased because they
 taught the people and declared by      
,jesus the resurrection of the dead2    
#d3c;and they laid hands on them and put
 them in prison till the next day2 for  
it was now evening4 #d3d;,but many of   
those that heard the word believed1 and 
the number of the men became about five 
thousand4  #d #d3e;,and on the next day 
the rulers1 and elders1 and scribes     
#d3f;assembled at ,jerusalem1 and ,annas
 the chief priest1 and ,caiaphas1 and   
,john1 and ,alexander1 and all that were
 of the family of the chief priesthood1 
#d3g;and placing them in the midst1     
asked1 ,by what power1 or by what name1 
have you done this8  #d3h ,then ,peter1 

full of the ,holy ,spirit1 said to them1
 ,rulers of the people and elders of    
,israel1 #d3i;if we are to-day examined 
concerning the good work done to the    
sick man1 by what means he has been     
cured1 #d3aj;be it known to you all1 and
 to all the people of ,israel1 that in  
the name of ,jesus ,christ the          
,nazoraean1 whom you crucified1 whom    
,god raised from the dead1 by him has   
this man stood before you sound4        
#d3aa,this is the stone rejected by you 
builders1 which has become the head of a
 corner4 #d3ab;,and there is salvation  
in no other2 for there is no other name 
given under heaven among men1 by which  
we can be saved4  #e #d3ac;,and seeing  
the boldness of ,peter and ,john1 and   
supposing that they were illiterate and 
common men1 they wondered1 and perceived
 that they had been with ,jesus2        
#d3ad;and seeing the man standing with  
them cured1 they could not dispute it4  
#d3ae;,and commanding them to withdraw  
from the ,sanhedrim1 they conferred one 

with another1 #d3afsaying1 ,what shall  
we do to these men8  for that a notable 
miracle has been performed by them is   
manifest to all that live at ,jerusalem1
 and we cannot deny it2 #d3ag;but that  
it spread no further among the people1  
let us threaten them severely1 and      
charge them to speak no more to any man 
in this name4 #d3ah;,and calling them1  
they charged them not to speak or teach 
at all in the name of ,jesus4 #d3ai;,but
 ,peter and ,john answered and said to  
them1 ,whether it is right in the sight 
of ,god to obey you rather than ,god1   
judge2 #d3bj;for we cannot but tell what
 we have seen and heard4 #d3ba;,and     
threatening them still further1 they    
dismissed them1 not being able to punish
 them1 on account of the people1 because
 all glorified ,god for what was done2  
#d3bb;for the man was more than forty   
years old on whom this miracle of the   
cure was performed4  #f #d3bc;,and being
 dismissed they came to their friends1  
and related to them what the chief      

priests and elders said to them4        
#d3bd;,and when they heard it they      
lifted up their voice with one consent  
to ,god1 and said1 ,master1 thou who    
hast made heaven1 and the earth1 the    
sea1 and all things in them1 #d3bewho by
 the mouth of thy servant ,david hast   
said1 ,why did the nations rage and the 
peoples devise vain things8 #d3bfthe    
kings of the earth stood up1 and the    
rulers were assembled together against  
the ,lord1 and against his anointed4    
#d3bg;,for of a truth1 in this city1    
both ,herod and ,pontius ,pilate1 with  
the gentiles and people of ,israel1 were
 assembled together against thy holy    
servant ,jesus whom thou hast anointed1 
#d3bhto do what thy hand and counsel    
before appointed to be done4 #d3bi;,and 
now1 ,lord1 look down upon their        
threatenings1 and grant to thy servants 
with all boldness to speak thy word1    
#d3cj;by stretching out thy hand1 that  
cures and miracles and prodigies may be 
performed by the name of thy holy       

servant ,jesus4 #d3ca;,and when they had
 prayed the place was shaken in which   
they were assembled1 and they were all  
filled with the ,holy ,spirit1 and spoke
 the word of ,god with boldness4        
,,chapter ,,iv4  ,,the ,,liberality ,,of
 ,,the ,,first ,,christians1 ,,ananias  
,,and ,,sapphira1 ,,further             
,,persecution4  #a #d3cb;,,and the      
multitude that believed had one heart   
and one soul1 and none said that        
anything of his possessions was his2 but
 they had all things common4 #d3cc;,and 
the apostles delivered the testimony of 
the resurrection of the ,lord ,jesus    
with great power1 and great favor was   
towards them all4 #d3cd;,for no one     
among them was needy2 for those who     
possessed lands or houses sold and      
brought the prices of the things sold1  
#d3ce;and laid them at the apostles'    
feet2 and distribution was made to each 
as any one had need4 #d3cf;,and ,joseph1
 called ,barnabas by the apostles1 which
 is interpreted1 ,a son of consolation1 

a ,levite1 a ,cyprian by birth1         
#d3cg;having land1 sold it1 and brought 
the money and laid it at the feet of the
 apostles4  #b #e3a;,and one ,ananias by
 name1 with ,sapphira his wife1 sold a  
possession1 #e3b;and he kept back a part
 of the price1 his wife also being privy
 to it1 and bringing a certain part laid
 it at the apostles' feet4 #e3c;,but    
,peter said1 ,ananias1 why has ,satan   
filled your heart that you should lie to
 the ,holy ,spirit1 and that you should 
keep back a part of the price of the    
land8  #e3d;,continuing unsold was it   
not yours1 and when it was sold was it  
not at your disposal8 ,why did you      
propose this thing in your heart8 ,you  
have not lied to men but to ,god4       
#e3e;,and ,ananias hearing these words  
fell down and expired2 and great fear   
was upon all who heard4 #e3f;,and the   
young men arose and laid him out1 and   
having carried him out buried him4  #c  
#e3g;,and after an interval of about    
three hours1 his wife1 not knowing what 

had happened1 came in4 #e3h;,and ,peter 
answered her1 ,tell me whether you sold 
the field for so much8 ,and she said1   
,yes2 for so much4 #e3i;,and ,peter said
 to her1 ,why have you agreed together  
to try the ,spirit of the ,lord8        
,behold1 the feet of those that buried  
your husband are at the door1 and they  
shall carry you out4 #e3aj;,and she fell
 down immediately at his feet1 and      
expired2 and the young men coming in    
found her dead1 and carried her out1 and
 buried her by her husband4 #e3aa;,and  
great fear was on all the assembly      
church1 and on all that heard of these  
things4  #d #e3ab;,and many miracles and
 prodigies were performed among the     
people by the hands of the apostles2 and
 they were all of one accord in         
,solomon's porch2 #e3ac;and no one of   
the rest dared to join them1 but the    
people magnified them2 #e3ad;and        
believers were added the more to the    
,lord1 multitudes both of men and women2
 #e3aeso that they brought the sick into

 the streets and placed them on little  
beds and couches1 that as ,peter passed 
along even his shadow might overshadow  
some of them4 #e3af;,and the multitude  
came together from the cities about     
,jerusalem1 bringing the sick and those 
troubled by impure spirits1 all of whom 
were cured4  #e #e3ag;,and the chief    
priest arose1 and all those with him1   
being the sect of the ,sadducees1 and   
were filled with wrath1 #e3ah;and laid  
hands on the apostles1 and put them in  
the public prison4  #e3ai;,but an angel 
of the ,lord opening the prison doors by
 night led them out and said1 #e3bj;,go1
 stand and speak in the temple to the   
people all the words of this life4      
#e3ba;,and hearing this they entered    
into the temple early in the morning and
 taught4 ,and the chief priest coming1  
and those with him1 called the          
,sanhedrim together1 and all the        
eldership of the children of ,israel1   
and sent to the prison to have them     
brought4  #f #e3bb;,but the officers    

going did not find them in the prison2  
and returning they reported1            
#e3bcsaying1 ,the prison found we shut  
with all safety1 and the guards standing
 before the doors1 but opening we found 
no one within4 #e3bd;,and when they     
heard these words1 both the priest and  
the commander of the temple and the     
chief priests doubted concerning them1  
what this could mean4  #e3be;,but some  
one came and told them1 ,behold1 the men
 whom you put in prison are standing in 
the temple1 and teaching the people4  #g
 #e3bf,then the commander going away    
with the officers brought them without  
violence1 for they feared the people1   
lest they should be stoned2 #e3bg;and   
having brought them they placed them    
before the ,sanhedrim4 ,and the chief   
priest asked them1 #e3bhsaying1 ,we     
charged you strictly not to teach in    
this name1 and behold1 you have filled  
,jerusalem with your teaching1 and wish 
to bring this man's blood on us4        
#e3bi;,and ,peter answering1 and the    

apostles1 said1 ,it is necessary to obey
 ,god rather than man4 #e3cj,the ,god of
 our fathers raised up ,jesus1 whom you 
took and hung on a cross2 #e3ca;him has 
,god exalted1 a ,prince and ,saviour at 
his right hand1 to give a change of mind
 to ,israel and the forgiveness of sins4
 #e3cb;,and we are his witnesses of     
these things1 and also the ,holy ,spirit
 which ,god has given to those that obey
 him4  #h #e3cc;,and when they heard    
this they were highly offended1 and took
 counsel to kill them4 #e3cd;,but a     
certain ,pharisee in the ,sanhedrim1 by 
the name of ,gamaliel1 a teacher of the 
law1 in honor with all the people1      
standing up requested them to put the   
men out a little while2 #e3ce;and he    
said to them1 ,men of ,israel1 take heed
 to yourselves what you are about to do 
to these men4  #e3cf;,for before these  
days ,theudas arose1 saying that he was 
somebody1 to whom a number of men1 about
 four hundred1 adhered1 who was         
destroyed1 and all who obeyed him passed

 away and came to nothing4  #i          
#e3cg;,after him arose ,judas the       
,galilean1 in the days of the census1   
and drew away people after him2 and he  
was destroyed1 and all who obeyed him   
were dispersed4 #e3ch;,and now ,i tell  
you1 abstain from these men1 and let    
them alone2 because if this design1 or  
this work1 is from men1 it will be      
destroyed2 #e3ci;but if it is from ,god1
 you cannot destroy them2 lest you be   
found at some time to be fighting       
against ,god4 #e3dj;,and they were      
persuaded by him1 and calling the       
apostles and scourging them1 they       
charged them not to speak in the name of
 ,jesus1 and dismissed them4 #e3da,they 
went therefore from the presence of the 
,sanhedrim1 rejoicing that they were    
accounted worthy to suffer shame for the
 name of ,christ2 #e3db;and every day in
 the temple1 and from house to house1   
they ceased not teaching and preaching  
the good news of ,christ ,jesus4        
,,chapter ,v4  ,,the ,,appointment ,,of 

,,seven ,,deacons1 ,,the ,,sermon ,,and 
,,martyrdom ,,of ,,stephen1 ,,and ,a    
,,general ,,persecution4  #a #f3a;,,and 
in those days the disciples being       
multiplied1 there was a complaint of the
 ,hellenists against the ,hebrews1 that 
their widows were neglected in the daily
 service4 #f3b;,and the twelve calling  
the multitude of the disciples1 said1   
,it is not desirable that we should     
leave the word of ,god to serve tables4 
#f3c,look out therefore1 brothers1 from 
among you seven men of good repute1 full
 of the ,holy ,spirit1 and of wisdom1   
whom we may set over this business2     
#f3d;but we will attend continually to  
prayer1 and the ministry of the word4   
#b #f3e;,and the proposition pleased all
 the multitude1 and they elected        
,stephen1 a man full of faith and of the
 ,holy ,spirit1 and ,philip and         
,prochorus1 and ,nicanor and ,timon1 and
 ,parmenas1 and ,nicolaus a proselyte of
 ,antioch1 #f3f;and set them before the 
,apostles2 and they having prayed       

imposed hands on them4 #f3g;,and the    
word of ,god increased1 and the number  
of the disciples was greatly multiplied 
at ,jerusalem1 and a great multitude of 
the priests obeyed the faith4  #c       
#f3h;,and ,stephen1 full of grace and   
power1 performed prodigies and great    
miracles among the people4 #f3i;,but    
some members of the synagogue called    
that of the ,libertines and ,cyrenians  
and ,alexandrians and of those from     
,cilicia and ,asia1 arose and disputed  
with ,stephen1 #f3aj;and were not able  
to resist the wisdom and spirit with    
which he spoke4 #f3aa,then they bribed  
men who said1 ,we heard him speak       
blasphemous words against ,moses and    
,god4 #f3ab;,and they stirred up both   
the people1 and the elders1 and the     
scribes1 and coming suddenly they seized
 him and led him to the ,sanhedrim1     
#f3ac;and brought forward false         
witnesses who said1 ,this man speaks    
incessantly against this holy place1 and
 the law2 #f3ad;for we have heard him   

say1 that ,jesus this ,nazoraean will   
destroy this place and change the       
customs which ,moses gave us4 #f3ae;,and
 all who sat in the ,sanhedrin looking  
steadily at him saw his face like the   
face of an angel4  #d #g3a;,and the     
chief priest said1 ,are these things    
then so8  #g3b;,and he said1 ,men1      
brothers1 and fathers1 hear4 ,the ,god  
of glory appeared to our father ,abraham
 when he was in ,mesopotamia1 before he 
lived in ,haran1 #g3c;and said to him1  
,go out from your country and your      
kindred1 and come to a land which ,i    
will show you4 #g3d,then going out from 
the land of the ,chaldeans1 he lived in 
,haran4 ,and thence1 after the death of 
his father1 he removed into this land in
 which you now live4 #g3e;,and ,god gave
 him no inheritance in it1 not the      
breadth of a foot1 and promised to give 
it to him for a possession1 and to his  
posterity after him1 when as yet he had 
no son4 #g3f;,and ,god said thus2 that  
his posterity should be a stranger in a 

foreign land1 and they shall enslave it 
and treat it injuriously four hundred   
years2 #g3g;and the nation which they   
shall serve will ,i judge1 said ,god1   
and after that they shall come forth and
 serve me in this place4  #e #g3h;,and  
he gave him the ordinance of            
circumcision2 and so he begat ,isaac and
 circumcised him on the eighth day1 and 
,isaac1 ,jacob1 and ,jacob the twelve   
patriarchs4 #g3i;,and the patriarchs    
envying ,joseph sold him into ,egypt2   
and ,god was with him #g3aj;and         
delivered him from all his afflictions1 
and gave him favor and wisdom in the    
sight of ,pharaoh king of ,egypt1 and he
 made him governor over ,egypt and all  
his house4  #f #g3aa;,and there came a  
famine on all the land of ,egypt and    
,canaan1 and great affliction1 and our  
fathers found no provisions4 #g3ab;,but 
,jacob hearing that there was grain in  
,egypt1 sent our fathers the first time2
 #g3ac;and the second time ,joseph was  
made known to his brothers1 and         

,joseph's family was made known to      
,pharaoh4 #g3ad;,and ,joseph sent and   
called for his father ,jacob1 and all   
the family of seventy-five souls4       
#g3ae;,and ,jacob went down to ,egypt1  
and died1 he and our fathers2 #g3af;and 
they carried him back to ,shechem and   
buried him in the tomb which ,abraham   
bought for money of the sons of ,hamor  
the father of ,shechem4  #g #g3ag;,but  
when the time of the promise which ,god 
made with an oath to ,abraham was at    
hand1 the people increased and became   
numerous in ,egypt1 #g3ahtill another   
king arose who knew not ,joseph4        
#g3ai,this king dealt deceitfully with  
our race1 and treated injuriously our   
fathers1 causing their infants to be    
exposed that they might not be preserved
 alive4  #h #g3bj;,at that time ,moses  
was born1 and was beautiful in the sight
 of ,god1 and was nourished three months
 in his father's house2 #g3ba;but being 
exposed1 the daughter of ,pharaoh took  
him up and nourished him as her own son4

 #g3bb;,and ,moses was educated in all  
the wisdom of the ,egyptians1 and was   
mighty in his words and works4          
#g3bc;,and when he was forty years old1 
it came into his mind to visit his      
brothers1 the children of ,israel4      
#g3bd;,and seeing one injured he        
defended him1 and executed judgment for 
the oppressed1 smiting the ,egyptian4   
#g3be;,and he thought his brothers would
 understand that ,god would give them   
salvation by his hand2 but they         
understood not4  #i #g3bf,on the        
following day also he showed himself to 
them as they contended1 and urged them  
to peace1 saying1 ,men1 you are         
brothers2 why do you injure one another8
 #g3bg;,but he that injured his neighbor
 repelled him1 saying1 ,who made you a  
ruler and a judge over us8 #g3bh,will   
you kill me as you did the ,egyptian1   
yesterday8 #g3bi;,and ,moses fled at    
that saying1 and lived a stranger in the
 land of ,midian1 where he begat two    
sons4  #aj #g3cj;,and forty years being 

completed there appeared to him in the  
wilderness of ,mount ,sinai1 an angel in
 a flame of fire1 in a bush4 #g3ca;,and 
,moses seeing it1 wondered at the sight2
 and coming near to look at it1 there   
was a voice of the ,lord1 #g3cb;,i am   
the ,god of your fathers1 the ,god of   
,abraham1 and ,isaac1 and ,jacob4 ,and  
,moses being afraid dared not look at   
it4 #g3cc;,and the ,lord said to him1   
,put off your shoes from your feet2 for 
the place on which you stand is holy    
ground4 #g3cd;,i have seen the          
affliction of my people in ,egypt1 and  
have heard their groaning1 and have come
 down to deliver them2 and now come1 ,i 
will send you to ,egypt4  #aa #g3ce,this
 is the ,moses whom they denied1 saying1
 ,who made you a ruler and a judge8 ,him
 did ,god send to be a ruler and a      
redeemer by the hand of the angel that  
appeared to him in the bush4 #g3cf,this 
man brought them out1 having performed  
prodigies and miracles in ,egypt1 and at
 the ,red ,sea1 and in the wilderness   

forty years4 #g3cg,this is the ,moses   
who said to the children of ,israel1 ,a 
prophet shall ,god raise up for you1 of 
your brothers1 like me4 #g3ch ,this is  
he that was with the assembly in the    
wilderness1 with the angel who spoke to 
him on ,mount ,sinai1 and with our      
fathers1 who received the living oracles
 to give us1 #g3ciwhom our fathers would
 not obey1 but thrust him away and      
turned back in their hearts to ,egypt1  
#g3djsaying to ,aaron1 ,make us gods to 
go before us2 for this ,moses who led us
 up out of ,egypt1 we know not what has 
happened to him4  #ab #g3da;,and they   
made a calf in those days1 and offered a
 sacrifice to the idol1 and rejoiced in 
the works of their hands4  #g3db;,and   
,god turned and gave them up to serve   
the host of heaven1 as it is written in 
the book of the prophets2 ,did you offer
 victims and sacrifices to me forty     
years in the wilderness1 house of       
,israel1 #g3dc;and take up the          
tabernacle of ,moloch1 and the star of  

the god ,rephan1 figures which you made 
to worship8 ,i will even remove you     
beyond ,babylon4  #ac #g3dd,our fathers 
in the wilderness received the          
tabernacle of the testimony1 as he that 
spoke to ,moses charged him to make it  
according to the pattern which he had   
seen2 #g3dewhich also our fathers       
receiving it in succession brought with 
,joshua into the possession of the      
nations1 whom ,god expelled before the  
face of our fathers till the days of    
,david2 #g3dfwho found favor with ,god  
and desired to find a dwelling for the  
,god of ,jacob4  #g3dg;,and ,solomon    
built him a house4 #g3dh;,but the ,most 
,high dwells not in temples made with   
hands1 as the prophet says2             
#g3di;,heaven is my throne1 and the     
earth my footstool2 what house will you 
build me1 says the ,lord1 or what is the
 place of my rest8 #g3ej;has not my hand
 made all these things8 #g3ea,stiff     
necked1 and uncircumcised in heart and  
ears1 you always fight against the ,holy

 ,spirit2 as your fathers did1 you also 
do4  #g3eb,which of the prophets did not
 your fathers persecute8 ,and they      
killed those who foretold the coming of 
the ,righteous ,one1 of whom you now    
have become betrayers and murderers1    
#g3ecwho have received the law by orders
 of angels and have not kept it4  #ad   
#g3ed;,and when they heard these things 
they were enraged in their minds and    
gnashed their teeth upon him4 #g3ee;,but
 he being full of the ,holy ,spirit1    
looking steadily to heaven saw the glory
 of ,god and ,jesus standing on the     
right hand of ,god1 #g3ef;and said1     
,behold1 ,i see the heavens opened and  
the ,son of man standing on the right   
hand of ,god4 #g3eg;,and crying with a  
loud voice they stopped their ears and  
rushed upon him with one accord1        
#g3eh;and casting him out of the city1  
stoned him4 ,and the witnesses laid down
 their clothes at the feet of a young   
man called ,saul1 #g3ei;and they stoned 
,stephen1 calling and saying1 ,lord     

,jesus1 receive my spirit4 #g3fj;,and   
kneeling down he cried with a loud      
voice1 ,lord1 lay not this sin to their 
charge4 ,and having said this he fell   
asleep4 #h3a;,and ,saul consented to his
 death4  #ae ,and at that time there was
 a great persecution of the church at   
,jerusalem2 and they were all scattered 
abroad through the regions of ,judea and
 ,samaria1 except the apostles4         
#h3b;,and pious men buried ,stephen and 
made a great lamentation for him4       
#h3c;,but ,saul persecuted the church1  
and going from house to house1 seizing  
men and women1 committed them to prison4
    ,,chapter ,,vi4  ,,the ,,early      
,,ministry ,,of ,,philip ,,the ,,deacon1

,,samaritans1 ,,the ,,ethiopian         
,,eunuch4  #a #h3d;,being scattered     
abroad1 therefore1 they went everywhere 
preaching the good news of the word2    
#h3e;and ,philip going down to a city of
 ,samaria preached ,christ to them4     
#h3f;,and the multitudes attended with  

one accord to the things said by        
,philip1 when they heard him and saw the
 miracles which he performed4  #h3g;,for
 impure spirits came out of many who had
 them1 crying with a loud voice2 and    
many paralytics and lame persons were   
cured2 #h3h;and there was great joy in  
that city4  #b #h3i;,and there was a man
 by the name of ,simon who formerly     
practised magic in that city1 and       
astonished the nation of ,samaria1      
saying that he was some great person1   
#h3ajto whom all from the least to the  
greatest attended1 saying1 ,this is the 
power of ,god which is called great4    
#h3aa;,and they attended to him because 
for a long time he had astonished them  
with his magic arts4 #h3ab;,but because 
they believed ,philip preaching the good
 news of the kingdom of ,god and the    
name of ,jesus ,christ1 they were       
baptized both men and women4 #h3ac;,and 
,simon also himself believed1 and being 
baptized attended constantly on ,philip2
 and beholding the mighty works and     

miracles that were performed1 he was    
astonished4  #c #h3ad;,and the apostles 
at ,jerusalem hearing that ,samaria had 
received the word of ,god1 sent to them 
,peter and ,john1 #h3aewho came down and
 prayed for them that they might receive
 the ,holy ,spirit2 #h3af;for it had not
 yet fallen on any of them1 only they   
were baptized in the name of the ,lord  
,jesus4 #h3ag ,then they laid hands on  
them and they received the ,holy        
,spirit4 #h3ah;,and ,simon seeing that  
the ,holy ,spirit was given by the      
imposition of the hands of the apostles1
 offered them money1 #h3aisaying1 ,give 
me this power1 that on whomsoever ,i lay
 my hand he may receive the ,holy       
,spirit4 #h3bj;,but ,peter said to him1 
,your money go to perdition with you2   
because you have thought to purchase the
 gift of ,god with money4 #h3ba,you have
 no part nor inheritance in this work2  
for your heart is not right before ,god4
 #h3bb,turn your mind therefore from    
this your wickedness1 and pray the ,lord

 if perhaps the thought of your mind may
 be forgiven you2 #h3bc;for ,i see you  
are in the gall of bitterness and bond  
of wickedness4  #h3bd;,and ,simon       
answered and said1 ,pray to the ,lord   
for me1 that none of the things which   
you have said may come upon me4  #d     
#h3be,they then having fully testified  
and spoken the word of the ,lord1       
returned to ,jerusalem1 and preached the
 good news to many villages of the      
,samaritans4 #h3bf;,and an angel of the 
,lord spoke to ,philip1 saying1 ,arise  
and go to the south1 by the way that    
leads from ,jerusalem to ,gaza2 this is 
a wilderness4  #h3bg;,and he arose and  
went4 ,and behold a man1 an ,ethiopian  
eunuch1 an officer of ,candace queen of 
the ,ethiopians1 who was over all her   
treasures1 who had come to ,jerusalem to
 worship1 #h3bh;and he was returning and
 sitting in his chariot reading the     
prophet ,isaiah4  #e #h3bi;,and the     
,spirit said to ,philip1 ,go forward and
 join yourself to his chariot4          

#h3cj;,and ,philip running forward heard
 him reading the prophet ,isaiah1 and he
 said1 ,do you really understand what   
you read8 #h3ca;,and he said ,no2 for   
how can ,i unless some one teaches me8  
,and he invited ,philip to come up and  
sit with him4 #h3cb;,and the passage of 
,scripture which he was reading1 was    
this2 ,as a sheep is led to slaughter1  
and as a lamb before one that shears him
 is dumb1 so he opened not his mouth4   
#h3cc;,in his humiliation his judgment  
was taken away2 and who will tell of his
 generation8 for his life was taken from
 the earth4  #f #h3cd;,and the eunuch   
answered and said to ,philip1 ,of whom  
,i pray you does the prophet say this8  
of himself or of some other one8        
#h3ce;,and ,philip opening his mouth1   
and beginning from this ,scripture1     
preached to him the good news of ,jesus4
 #h3cf;,and as they went on the way they
 came to a certain water1 and the eunuch
 said1 ,behold water2 what hinders me   
from being baptized8  #h3ch;,and he     

commanded the chariot to stop1 and they 
both went down to the water1 both       
,philip and the eunuch1 and he baptized 
him4 #h3ci;,and when they went up from  
the water the ,spirit of the ,lord      
caught away ,philip1 and the eunuch saw 
him no more2 for he went his way        
rejoicing4 #h3dj;,but ,philip was found 
at ,azotus1 and passing through he      
preached the good news to all the cities
 till he came to ,caesarea4    ,,chapter
 ,,vii4  ,,the ,,conversion ,,of ,,saul1
 ,,peter ,,curing ,,aeneas1 ,,and       
,,raising ,,dorcas ,,from ,,the ,,dead4 
#a #i3a;,,but ,saul1 yet breathing out  
threatening and slaughter against the   
disciples of the ,lord1 went to the     
chief priest #i3b;and asked of him      
letters to ,damascus to the synagogues1 
that if he found any of that way1 he    
might bring them bound1 men and women1  
to ,jerusalem4 #i3c;,and he was going   
and had come nigh to ,damascus1 and     
suddenly a light shone around him from  
heaven1 #i3d;and falling on the earth he

 heard a voice saying to him1 ,saul1    
,saul1 ,why do you persecute me8        
#i3e;,and he said1 ,who are you1 ,lord8 
,and he said1 ,i am ,jesus whom you     
persecute4 #i3f;,but arise and enter    
into the city1 and it shall be told you 
what you must do4 #i3g;,and the men     
travelling with him stood amazed1       
hearing indeed the voice1 but beholding 
no one4 #i3h;,and ,saul arose from the  
earth1 and his eyes being opened he saw 
nothing2 and leading him by the hand    
they conducted him to ,damascus4        
#i3i;,and he was three days without     
sight1 and neither eat nor drank4  #b   
#i3aj;,and there was a certain disciple 
at ,damascus by the name of ,ananias1   
and the ,lord said to him in a vision1  
,ananias4 ,and he said1 ,behold1 ,i am  
here1 ,lord4 #i3aa;,and the ,lord said  
to him1 ,arise and go to the street     
called ,straight1 and inquire at the    
house of ,judas for a man by the name of
 ,saul of ,tarsus2 for behold1 he prays1
 #i3ab;and has seen a man by the name of

 ,ananias coming and putting a hand on  
him1 that he might receive his sight4   
#i3ac;,and ,ananias answered1 ,lord1 ,i 
have heard by many of this man1 how much
 evil he has done to your saints at     
,jerusalem2 #i3ad;and here he has power 
from the chief priests to bind all that 
call on your name4 #i3ae;,but the ,lord 
said to him1 ,go1 for he is a chosen    
vessel to me1 to bear my name both      
before nations and kings1 and the       
children of ,israel2 #i3af;for ,i will  
show him how great things he must suffer
 for my name4  #c #i3ag;,and ,ananias   
went and entered into the house1 and    
laying hands on him said1 ,brother      
,saul1 the ,lord has sent me1 ,jesus who
 appeared to you on the way which you   
came1 that you may receive sight and be 
filled with the ,holy ,spirit4          
#i3ah;,and immediately there fell from  
his eyes as it were scales1 and he      
received his sight1 and rising up was   
baptized1 #i3ai;and having received food
 was strengthened4  #d ,and he was with 

the disciples at ,damascus some days2   
#i3bj;and immediately in the synagogues 
he preached ,jesus1 that this is the    
,son of ,god4 #i3ba;,and all that heard 
him were astonished and said1 ,is not   
this he that destroyed those who called 
on this name at ,jerusalem1 and has come
 here for this purpose1 that he might   
lead them bound to the chief priests8   
#i3bb;,but ,saul increased in power and 
confounded the ,jews living at          
,damascus1 proving that this is the     
,christ4  #e #i3bc;,and when some days  
had passed1 the ,jews took counsel to   
kill him2 #i3bd;and their design was    
made known to ,saul4 ,and they watched  
the gates day and night to kill him2    
#i3be;but the disciples took him by     
night and sent him away by the wall1    
letting him down in a store-basket4  #f 
#i3bf;,and going to ,jerusalem he       
endeavored to join the disciples2 and   
they all feared him1 not believing that 
he was a disciple4 #i3bg;,but ,barnabas 
took him and brought him to the         

apostles1 and related to them how he had
 seen the ,lord in the way1 and that he 
had spoken to him1 and how he had spoken
 boldly in ,damascus in the name of     
,jesus4 #i3bh;,and he was with them1    
entering in and going out at ,jerusalem1
 #i3bi;and speaking boldly in the name  
of the ,lord2 and he spoke and disputed 
with the ,hellenists2 and they undertook
 to kill him2 #i3cj;but the brothers    
knowing it led him away to ,caesarea and
 sent him to ,tarsus4  #g #i3ca,then had
 the church peace in all ,judea and     
,galilee and ,samaria1 and being built  
up1 and walking in the fear of the      
,lord1 and in the comfort of the ,holy  
,spirit1 they were multiplied4          
#i3cb;,and ,peter passing through all   
places1 went down also to the saints    
living at ,lydda4 #i3cc;,and he found   
there a certain man by the name of      
,a,eneas1 who had lain on a bed for     
eight years1 and was a paralytic4       
#i3cd;,and ,peter said to him1 ,a,eneas1
 ,jesus ,christ cures you2 arise and    

make your bed for yourself4 ,and he     
immediately arose2 #i3ce;and all those  
who lived at ,lydda and ,sharon saw him1
 and turned to the ,lord4  #h #i3cf;,and
 there was at ,joppa a certain female   
disciple called ,tabitha1 which being   
interpreted is called1 ,dorcas2 she was 
full of good works and charities which  
she bestowed4 #i3cg;,and in those days  
she was sick and died2 and having washed
 they put her in an upper room4         
#i3ch;,but ,lydda being nigh to ,joppa1 
the disciples hearing that ,peter was   
there sent two men to him requesting1   
,do not delay to come to us4 #i3ci;,and 
,peter arose and came with them2 and    
when he had come they led him into the  
upper room1 and all the widows stood by 
weeping and showing the coats and       
garments which ,dorcas made while she   
was with them4 #i3dj ,and ,peter putting
 them all out knelt down and prayed1 and
 turning to the body he said1 ,tabitha1 
arise6 ,and she opened her eyes1 and    
seeing ,peter sat up4 #i3da ,and giving 

her his hand he raised her up1 and      
calling the saints and widows presented 
her living4  #i3db;,and this was known  
in all ,joppa1 and many believed on the 
,lord4 #i3dc;,and ,peter continued many 
days at ,joppa with one ,simon a tanner4
    ,,chapter ,,viii4  ,,the            
,,conversion ,,of ,,cornelius1 ,,and    
,,other ,,gentiles4  #a #aj3a;,,and a   
certain man at ,caesarea1 named         
,cornelius1 a centurion of the cohort   
which was called the ,italian1 #aj3b;a  
pious man1 and one fearing ,god with all
 his house1 and bestowing many charities
 on the people1 and praying to ,god     
always1 #aj3csaw clearly in a vision1   
about the ninth hour of the day1 an     
angel of ,god coming to him1 and saying 
to him1 ,cornelius4  #aj3d;,and looking 
steadily at him and being afraid1 he    
said1 ,what is wanted1 ,lord8 ,and he   
said to him1 ,your prayers and charities
 have come up as a memorial before ,god4
 #aj3e ,and now send men to ,joppa and  
call for a certain ,simon who is called 

,peter2 #aj3f;he lodges with one ,simon 
a tanner1 whose house is by the sea4    
#aj3g;,and when the angel who spoke to  
him had departed1 he called two of the  
house servants1 and a pious soldier of  
those that attended constantly on him1  
#aj3h and having related all things to  
them sent them to ,joppa4  #b #aj3i;,and
 on the next day1 as they were pursuing 
their journey and had come nigh to the  
city1 ,peter went upon the house to     
pray1 about the sixth hour4 #aj3aj;,and 
he was hungry and wished to eat2 and    
while they were preparing a trance came 
upon him1 #aj3aa;and he beheld heaven   
opened1 and a certain vessel like a     
great sheet descending1 let down by four
 corners to the earth1 #aj3ab;in which  
were all the quadrupeds and reptiles of 
the earth1 and birds of heaven4         
#aj3ac;,and a voice came to him1 ,arise1
 ,peter1 kill and eat4 #aj3ad;,but      
,peter said1 ,by no means1 ,lord1 for ,i
 have never eaten any thing common and  
impure4 #aj3ae;,and a voice came to him 

again1 a second time1 ,what ,god has    
purified1 regard not common4 #aj3af;,and
 this was done thrice1 and immediately  
the vessel was taken up to heaven4  #c  
#aj3ag;,and while ,peter doubted with   
himself what the vision which he had    
seen meant1 behold1 even then the men   
sent by ,cornelius1 having inquired for 
the house of ,simon1 stood at the gate1 
#aj3ah;and calling aloud asked if ,simon
 who was called ,peter lodged there4    
#aj3ai;,and while ,peter was considering
 of the vision1 the ,spirit said to him1
 ,behold1 men seek you2 #aj3bj;arise and
 go down and go with them without       
hesitation1 for ,i have sent them4      
#aj3ba;,and ,peter went down to the men 
and said1 ,behold1 ,i am the man whom   
you seek2 what is the cause for which   
you have come8 #aj3bb;,and they said1   
,cornelius a centurion1 a righteous man1
 and one that fears ,god1 and esteemed  
by all the nation of the ,jews1 was     
divinely instructed by a holy angel to  
send for you to his house and hear words

 from you4 #aj3bc,then he called them in
 and entertained them4  #d ,and the next
 day he arose and went with them1 and   
some of the brothers from ,joppa went   
with him4 #aj3bd;,and on the day        
following they came to ,caesarea2 and   
,cornelius was expecting them1 and had  
called together his relations and       
particular friends4 #aj3be;,and when    
,peter came in ,cornelius met him1 and  
falling down at his feet worshipped him4
 #aj3bf;,but ,peter raised him up       
saying1 ,arise1 ,i also am a man4       
#aj3bg;,and conversing with him he went 
in1 and found many come together2       
#aj3bh;and he said to them1 ,you know   
that it is not lawful for a ,jew to     
associate with a man of another nation1 
or come into his house2 and ,god has    
taught me not to call any man common or 
impure2 #aj3biwherefore1 being sent for 
,i also came without objecting4 ,i ask  
therefore for what reason you have sent 
for me8 #aj3cj;,and ,cornelius said1    
,from the fourth hour of the day ,i     

fasted till this hour1 and at the ninth 
hour ,i was praying in my house1 and    
behold1 a man stood before me in        
splendid clothing1 #aj3ca;and said1     
,cornelius1 your prayer is heard and    
your charities are remembered before    
,god4  #aj3cb,send therefore to ,joppa  
and call ,simon who is called ,peter2 he
 lodges at the house of ,simon a tanner1
 by the sea1 who when he has come will  
speak to you4 #aj3cc ,immediately       
therefore ,i sent to you1 and you have  
done well to come4 ,now therefore we are
 all present before ,god to hear all    
things which ,god has commanded you4  #e
 #aj3cd;,and ,peter opening his mouth   
said1 ,of a truth ,i perceive that ,god 
is not a respecter of persons1          
#aj3ce;but in every nation he that fears
 him and does righteousness is          
acceptable to him4 #aj3cf,the word which
 he sent to the children of ,israel1    
preaching the good news of peace by     
,jesus ,christ1--he is ,lord of all1--  
#aj3cgyou know2 the word which was      

preached through all ,judea1 beginning  
in ,galilee after the baptism which     
,john preached1 #aj3ch;,jesus from      
,nazareth1 how ,god anointed him with   
the ,holy ,spirit and power1 who went   
about doing good and curing all that    
were subjugated by the devil1 for ,god  
was with him2 #aj3ci;and we are         
witnesses of all things which he did1   
both in the land of ,judea1 and at      
,jerusalem1 whom also they killed1      
hanging him on a cross4 #aj3dj,this man 
did ,god raise up on the third day1 and 
permitted him to be made manifest1      
#aj3danot to all the people1 but to     
witnesses chosen before by ,god1 to us1 
who eat and drank with him after he rose
 from the dead2 #aj3db;and he commanded 
us to preach to the people and testify  
fully that he is appointed by ,god the  
judge of living and dead4 #aj3dc,to him 
all the prophets bear witness1 that     
every one who believes in him has       
forgiveness of sins through his name4   
#f #aj3dd,while ,peter was yet speaking 

these words the ,holy ,spirit fell on   
all who heard the word4 #aj3de;,and     
those of the circumcision who came with 
,peter were astonished1 that on the     
gentiles also the gift of the ,holy     
,spirit was poured out2 #aj3df;for they 
heard them speaking with tongues and    
magnifying ,god4 ,then ,peter answered1 
#aj3dg;,can any forbid water that these 
should be baptized1 who have received   
the ,holy ,spirit as we also have8      
#aj3dh;,and he commanded that they      
should be baptized in the name of the   
,lord4 ,then they desired him to remain 
some days4    ,,chapter ,,ix4  ,,peter  
,,called ,,to ,,account ,,for           
,,associating ,,with ,,gentiles1 ,,and

the apostles and brothers who were in   
,judea heard that the gentiles received 
the word of ,god4 #aa3b;,and when ,peter
 went up to ,jerusalem1 those of the    
circumcision contended with him1        
#aa3csaying1 ,you went in to men that   

were uncircumcised1 and eat with them4  
#aa3d;,and ,peter began and related to  
them in order1 saying1 #aa3e;,i was in  
the city of ,joppa praying1 and ,i saw a
 vision in a trance1 a vessel like a    
great sheet descending1 let down by the 
four corners from heaven1 and it came to
 me2 #aa3f;and looking into it          
attentively ,i perceived and saw the    
quadrupeds of the earth and wild beasts 
and reptiles and birds of heaven4       
#aa3g;,and ,i heard a voice saying to   
me1 ,arise1 ,peter1 kill and eat4       
#aa3h;,and ,i said1 ,by no means1 ,lord1
 for nothing common or impure has ever  
entered into my mouth4 #aa3i;,and a     
voice answered from heaven a second     
time1 ,what ,god has purified do not you
 regard common4 #aa3aj;,and this was    
done thrice1 and again all were taken up
 to heaven4  #b #aa3aa;,and behold1     
immediately three men came to the house 
in which ,i was1 being sent for me from 
,caesarea4 #aa3ab;,and the ,spirit told 
me to go with them4 ,and these six      

brothers also went with me1 and we      
entered into the house of the man4      
#aa3ac;,and he told us how he had seen  
the angel in his house standing and     
saying to him1 ,send to ,joppa and call 
,simon who is called ,peter1 #aa3adwho  
will speak words to you by which you    
shall be saved and all your house4      
#aa3ae ,and when ,i began to speak the  
,holy ,spirit fell on them as also on us
 in the beginning4 #aa3af;,and ,i       
remembered the word of the ,lord how he 
said1 ,john indeed baptized with water1 
but you shall be baptized with the ,holy
 ,spirit4 #aa3ag;,if therefore ,god gave
 the gift equally to them and to us1 who
 believed on the ,lord ,jesus ,christ1  
who was ,i that ,i should be able to    
forbid ,god8 #aa3ah ,and hearing these  
things they were silent1 and glorified  
,god1 saying1 ,then to the gentiles also
 has ,god indeed given the change of    
mind to life4  #c #aa3ai;,and those     
scattered abroad by the affliction which
 commenced with ,stephen1 went even to  

,phenicia1 and ,cyprus1 and ,antioch1   
speaking the word to no one but ,jews   
only4 #aa3bj;,but some of them1         
,cyprians and ,cyrenians1 who came to   
,antioch1 spoke to the ,greeks preaching
 the good news of the ,lord ,jesus4     
#aa3ba ,and the hand of the ,lord was   
with them1 and a great number believed  
and turned to the ,lord4 #aa3bb;,and a  
report concerning them was brought to   
the ears of the church at ,jerusalem1   
and they sent ,barnabas to go as far as 
,antioch2 #aa3bcwho having come and seen
 the grace of ,god rejoiced1 and        
exhorted all to adhere to the ,lord with
 the purpose of the heart2 #aa3bd;for he
 was a good man and full of the ,holy   
,spirit and of faith4 ,and a great      
multitude were added to the ,lord4  #d  
#aa3be;,and he went to ,tarsus to seek  
for ,saul1 #aa3bf;and found and brought 
him to ,antioch4 ,and he was with them1 
and they met a whole year with the      
church and taught a great multitude2 and
 the disciples first took the name of   

,christians at ,antioch4  #e #aa3bg;,and
 in those days prophets came down from  
,jerusalem to ,antioch2 #aa3bh;and one  
of them1 by the name of ,agabus1        
standing up signified by the spirit that
 a great famine was about to come on all
 the world2 which also came under       
,claudius ,caesar4  #aa3bi;,and each of 
the disciples1 according to his ability1
 determined to send help to the brethren
 living in ,judea2 #aa3cjwhich they also
 did1 sending to the elders by the hand 
of ,barnabas and ,saul4    ,,chapter ,x4

,,his ,,death4--,a4,d4 #dd4  #a         
#ab3a;,,and at that time ,herod the king
 put forth his hands to injure some of  
the church4 #ab3b;,and he killed ,james 
the brother of ,john with the sword4    
#ab3c;,and seeing that it pleased the   
,jews1 he proceeded to apprehend ,peter 
also1--and it was during the days of    
unleavened bread1-- #ab3d;and having    
seized he put him in prison1 committing 
him to four companies of four soldiers  

each to guard him1 wishing after the    
passover to bring him before the people4
 #ab3e,peter therefore was kept by the  
guard2 but prayer was made incessantly  
by the church to ,god for him4          
#ab3f;,and when ,herod was about to     
bring him forward1 on that night ,peter 
was sleeping between two soldiers1 bound
 with two chains1 and guards kept watch 
before the door4 #ab3g;,and behold1 an  
angel of the ,lord came1 and a light    
shone in the building2 and striking     
,peter on the side he awoke him saying1 
,arise quickly4  ,and his chains fell   
off from his hands4 #ab3h;,and the angel
 said to him1 ,gird yourself1 and tie on
 your sandals4 ,and he did so4  ,and he 
said to him1 ,put your cloak about you1 
and follow me4  #ab3i;,and going out he 
followed him1 and knew not that it was  
real which was done by the angel1 but   
thought he saw a vision4  #ab3aj;,and   
passing through the first guard1 and the
 second1 they came to the iron gate     
leading into the city1 which opened to  

them of itself1 and going out they went 
forward one street1 and immediately the 
angel left him4 #ab3aa;,and ,peter      
coming to himself said1 ,now ,i know    
that the ,lord has really sent his angel
 and delivered me from the hand of      
,herod and all the expectation of the   
,jews4  #b #ab3ab;,and considering      
within himself he came to the house of  
,mary the mother of ,john called ,mark1 
where a great number were assembled     
together and praying4 #ab3ac;,and       
knocking at the door of the gate1 a     
female servant1 called ,rhoda1 came to  
listen1 #ab3ad;and knowing the voice of 
,peter she did not open the gate from   
joy1 but ran in and told that ,peter    
stood before the gate4  #ab3ae;,but they
 said to her1 ,you are mad4 ,but she    
asserted strongly that it was so4 ,and  
they said1 ,it is his angel4            
#ab3af;,but ,peter continued knocking2  
and having opened they saw him1 and were
 astonished4 #ab3ag;,and making signs to
 them with his hand to be silent1 he    

related how the ,lord had conducted him 
out of the prison1 and said1 ,tell these
 things to ,james and the brothers4 ,and
 going out he departed to another place4
  #c #ab3ah;,and when it was day there  
was no small stir among the soldiers as 
to what had become of ,peter4           
#ab3ai;,and ,herod seeking and not      
finding him1 examined the guards1 and   
commanded them to be put to death1 and  
going down from ,judea to ,caesarea     
remained there4  #d #ab3bj;,and he was  
displeased with the ,tyrians and        
,sidonians2 but they came with one      
accord to him1 and having persuaded     
,blastus who was over the king's        
bedchamber1 desired peace1 because their
 country was nourished by the king's4   
#ab3ba;,and on an appointed day ,herod  
having put on his royal apparel1 and    
sitting on the tribunal1 made a speech  
to them2 #ab3bb;and the people shouted1 
,it is the voice of a god1 and not of a 
man4  #ab3bc;,and an angel of the ,lord 
instantly smote him because he gave not 

glory to ,god1 and being eaten with     
worms he expired4 #ab3bd;,and the word  
of ,god grew and was increased4         
,,chapter ,,xi4  ,,the ,,first ,,mission
 ,,of ,,paul ,,and ,,barnabas ,,to      
,,cyprus ,,and ,,asia ,,minor4--,a4,d4  
#df-di4  #a #ab3be;,,and ,barnabas and  
,saul returned from ,jerusalem1 having  
performed the service1 taking with them 
also ,john who was called ,mark4        
#ac3a;,and there were prophets and      
teachers in the church at ,antioch2     
,barnabas and ,simeon called ,niger the 
black1 and ,lucius the ,cyrenian1 and   
,manaen the foster brother of ,herod the
 ,tetrarch1 and ,saul4 #ac3b;,and while 
they served the ,lord and fasted1 the   
,holy ,spirit said1 ,separate me        
,barnabas and ,saul for the work to     
which ,i have called them4 #ac3c,then   
having fasted and prayed and imposed    
hands on them1 they sent them forth4    
#ac3d,they1 therefore1 being sent forth 
by the ,holy ,spirit went down to       
,seleucia1 and thence sailed to ,cyprus2

 #ac3e;and coming to ,salamis1 they     
preached the word of ,god in the        
synagogues of the ,jews2 and they also  
had ,john for a servant4  #b #ac3f;,and 
having gone through the whole island to 
,paphos1 they found a certain magian1 a 
false prophet1 a ,jew1 whose name was   
,barjesus1 #ac3gwho was with the        
proconsul ,sergius ,paulus1 an          
intelligent man4 ,this man having called
 for ,barnabas and ,saul desired to hear
 the word of ,god2 #ac3h;but ,elymas the
 magian1 for so his name is interpreted1
 opposed them1 seeking to turn away the 
proconsul from the faith4 #ac3i;,but    
,saul1 called also ,paul1 filled with   
the ,holy ,spirit1 looking steadily at  
him #ac3ajsaid1 ,o full of all deceit   
and all craft1 son of a devil1 enemy of 
all righteousness1 will you not cease to
 pervert the right ways of the ,lord8   
#ac3aa;,and now1 behold1 the hand of the
 ,lord is upon you1 and you shall be    
blind1 not seeing the sun for a season4 
,and immediately there fell upon him a  

mist and darkness1 and going about he   
sought guides4 #ac3ab,then the proconsul
 seeing what was done believed1 and was 
astonished at the teaching of the ,lord4
  #c #ac3ac;,and those with ,paul1      
sailing from ,paphos1 went to ,perga in 
,pamphylia2 but ,john left them and     
returned to ,jerusalem4  #ac3ad;,and    
passing on from ,perga1 they went to    
,antioch in ,pisidia1 and going into the
 synagogue on the ,sabbath they sat     
down4 #ac3ae;,and after the reading of  
the law and the prophets1 the synagogue 
rulers sent to them1 saying1 ,men and   
brothers1 if you have any word of       
exhortation for the people1 speak4  #d  
#ac3af;,and ,paul stood up1 and         
motioning with his hand1 said1 ,men of  
,israel1 and you that fear ,god1 hear4  
#ac3ag,the ,god of this people chose our
 fathers1 and raised up the people in   
the exile in the land of ,egypt1 and    
brought them out of it with a high arm4 
#ac3ah;,and when he had borne with their
 conduct forty years in the wilderness1 

#ac3ai;and had destroyed seven nations  
in the land of ,canaan1 he distributed  
their land to them by lot4  #ac3bj;,and 
after this he gave judges four hundred  
and fifty years till ,samuel the        
prophet4 #ac3ba;,and then they asked for
 a king1 and ,god gave them ,saul the   
son ,kish1 a man of the tribe of        
,benjamin1 forty years2 #ac3bb;and      
removing him1 he raised up for them     
,david for a king1 of whom also he said 
and testified1 ,i have found ,david1 the
 son of ,jesse1 a man after my heart1   
who will do all my will4  #e #ac3bc,of  
the posterity of this man1 according to 
his promise1 has ,god raised up to      
,israel a ,saviour1 ,jesus2 #ac3bd;,john
 having preached before his coming the  
baptism of a change of mind to all the  
people of ,israel4 #ac3be;,and when     
,john completed his course1 he said1    
,who do you suppose ,i am8 ,i am not the
 ,christ2 but behold1 there comes after 
me one the sandal of whose feet ,i am   
not worthy to untie4  #f #ac3bf,men and 

brothers1 children of the race of       
,abraham1 and you that fear ,god1 the   
word of this salvation is sent to you4  
#ac3bg;,for those living at ,jerusalem1 
and their rulers1 not knowing him and   
the words of the prophets which are read
 every sabbath1 fulfilled them by       
condemning him2 #ac3bh;and although they
 found no cause of death in him1 they   
requested of ,pilate that he might be   
destroyed2 #ac3bi;and when they had     
performed all things written of him1    
they took him down from the cross and   
placed him in a tomb4 #ac3cj;,but ,god  
raised him from the dead1 #ac3ca;and he 
appeared many days to those who went up 
with him from ,galilee to ,jerusalem1   
who are now his witnesses to the people4
 #ac3cb;,and we declare to you the good 
news of the promise made to the fathers1
 #ac3ccthat ,god has fulfilled this to  
us their children in raising up ,jesus1 
as it is written also in the first      
psalm1 ,you are my son1 to-day have ,i  
begotten you4  #ac3cd;,and that he      

raised him from the dead never more to  
return to destruction1 he said thus2 ,i 
will give you the sure promises of      
,david4 #ac3ce ,wherefore also in       
another place he says1 ,thou wilt not   
suffer thy holy one to see destruction4 
#ac3cf;,for ,david1 having in his       
generation served the will of ,god1 fell
 asleep1 and was gathered to his fathers
 and saw destruction2 #ac3cg but he whom
 ,god raised up saw not destruction4    
#ac3ch;,be it known to you therefore1   
men and brothers1 that through this man 
is preached to you the forgiveness of   
sins1 #ac3ci;and every one who believes 
is justified by him from all things from
 which you could not be justified by the
 law of ,moses4 #ac3dj ,see then that   
what is said by the prophets does not   
come upon you2 #ac3da ,behold1          
despisers1 and wonder and perish1 for ,i
 perform a work in your days1 a work    
which you shall by no means believe even
 if one declares it to you4  #g         
#ac3db;,and when they had gone out1 the 

people requested that these words might 
be spoken to them on the next sabbath4  
#ac3dc;,and the congregation being      
dismissed1 many of the ,jews and pious  
proselytes followed ,paul and ,barnabas1
 who gave them additional instructions1 
and persuaded them to continue in the   
grace of ,god4 #ac3dd;,and on the       
following sabbath almost all the city   
came together to hear the word of the   
,lord4 #ac3de;,and the ,jews seeing the 
multitudes were filled with envy1 and   
contradicted the things said by ,paul1  
disputing and blaspheming4  #ac3df;,and 
both ,paul and ,barnabas speaking boldly
 said1 ,it was necessary that the word  
of ,god should first be spoken to you2  
but since you cast it away1 and judge   
yourselves unworthy of eternal life1    
behold1 we turn to the gentiles4        
#ac3dg;,for thus has the ,lord commanded
 us2 ,i have set you for a light of     
nations1 that you should be a salvation 
even to the end of the earth4 #ac3dh    
,and the gentiles hearing this rejoiced 

and glorified the word of the ,lord1 and
 as many as were appointed to eternal   
life believed2 #ac3di;and the word of   
the ,lord was spread through all the    
country4 #ac3ej;,but the ,jews excited  
the pious and honorable women1 and the  
first men of the city1 and raised a     
persecution against ,paul and ,barnabas1
 and cast them out from their limits4   
#ac3ea;,and shaking off the dust of     
their feet against them1 they went to   
,iconium2 #ac3eb and the disciples were 
filled with joy and the ,holy ,spirit4  
#h #ad3a;,and at ,iconium they went     
together into the synagogue of the      
,jews1 and so spoke that a great        
multitude of the ,jews and ,greeks      
believed4 #ad3b;,but the unbelieving    
,jews excited the minds of the gentiles 
against the brothers1 and made them     
ill-disposed4  #ad3c,then they spent a  
long time in speaking boldly for the    
,lord1 who testified to the word of his 
grace by granting miracles and prodigies
 to be performed by their hands4        

#ad3d;,and the multitude of the city    
were divided2 some were with the ,jews1 
and some with the apostles4 #ad3e;,and  
when a design was formed by the gentiles
 and ,jews with their rulers to treat   
them injuriously1 and stone them1       
#ad3fknowing it1 they fled to the cities
 of ,lycaonia1 ,lystra and ,derbe1 and  
the surrounding country1 #ad3g;and      
preached the good news there4  #i       
#ad3h;,and there sat a certain man at   
,lystra1 infirm in his feet1 lame from  
his birth1 who had never walked4        
#ad3i,this man heard ,paul speaking1    
who1 looking steadily at him and seeing 
that he had faith to be cured1          
#ad3ajsaid with a loud voice1 ,stand up 
erect on your feet4 ,and he leaped1 and 
walked4 #ad3aa;,and the multitude seeing
 what ,paul did1 lifted up their voice  
in the language of ,lycaonia1 saying1   
,the gods have come down to us in the   
likeness of men2 #ad3ab;and they called 
,barnabas1 ,jupiter1 and ,paul1         
,mercury1 because he was a master of    

eloquence4  #ad3ac;,and the priest of   
the ,jupiter which was before the city  
brought bulls and garlands to the gates1
 and wished to offer sacrifices with the
 multitudes4 #ad3ad;,but the apostles   
,barnabas and ,paul hearing of it1      
rending their clothes ran among the     
multitude1 crying #ad3ae;and saying1    
,men1 why do you do these things8 ,we   
are also men subject to like sufferings 
with you1 preaching that you should turn
 from these vain services to the living 
,god1 who made heaven and earth1 and the
 sea1 and all things in them1 #ad3afwho 
in past generations permitted all       
nations to walk in their own ways2      
#ad3ag;although indeed he left not      
himself without a witness1 doing good1  
giving rains from heaven and fruitful   
seasons1 filling our hearts with food   
and gladness4 #ad3ah;,and saying these  
things they with difficulty restrained  
the multitudes from sacrificing to them4
  #aj #ad3ai;,but ,jews came from       
,antioch and ,iconium1 and having       

persuaded the multitudes1 and having    
stoned ,paul1 they dragged him out of   
the city1 supposing that he was dead4   
#ad3bj;,but while the disciples stood   
around him1 he arose and entered into   
the city4 ,and on the next day he went  
away with ,barnabas to ,derbe4          
#ad3ba;,and having preached the good    
news to that city1 and made many        
disciples1 they returned to ,lystra1 and
 ,iconium1 and ,antioch1                
#ad3bb;confirming the souls of the      
disciples1 and exhorting them to        
continue in the faith1 and that through 
many afflictions we must enter into the 
kingdom of ,god4 #ad3bc;,and having     
appointed them elders in every church1  
and having prayed with fasting1 they    
commended them to the ,lord in whom they
 had believed4  #aa #ad3bd;,and passing 
through ,pisidia they came to           
,pamphylia1 #ad3be;and having spoken the
 word in ,perga they went down to       
,attalia1 #ad3bf;and thence sailed to   
,antioch1 whence they had been commended

 to the favor of ,god for the work which
 they performed4 #ad3bg;,and having     
arrived1 and assembled the church1 they 
reported what ,god had done with them1  
and that he had opened the door of faith
 to the gentiles4 #ad3bh;,and they      
remained there not a little time with   
the disciples4    ,,chapter ,,xii4      
,,the ,,council ,,at ,,jerusalem ,,on   
,,circumcision4--,a4,d4 #ej4  #a        
#ae3a;,,and certain persons having come 
down from ,judea taught the brothers1   
,if you are not circumcised according to
 the custom of ,moses you cannot be     
saved4 #ae3b,there being therefore no   
little dissension and disputation of    
,paul and ,barnabas with them1 they     
determined that ,paul and ,barnabas and 
some others of them should go up to the 
apostles and elders at ,jerusalem1      
concerning this question4 #ae3c,they1   
therefore1 being sent forward by the    
church1 went to ,phenicia and ,samaria1 
relating the conversion of the gentiles1
 and caused great joy to all the        

brothers4 #ae3d;,and when they came to  
,jerusalem they were received by the    
church1 and the apostles1 and the       
elders1 and related what things ,god had
 done with them4 #ae3e;,but some of     
those of the sect of the ,pharisees who 
had believed1 rose and said1 that it is 
necessary to circumcise them1 and to    
command them to keep the law of ,moses4 
#b #ae3f;,and the apostles and elders   
were assembled together to see about    
this matter4 #ae3g;,and after there had 
been much debate1 ,peter rose and said  
to them1 ,men and brothers1 you know    
that in former days ,god chose among you
 that the gentiles should hear by my    
mouth the word of the gospel and        
believe4 #ae3h ,and the heart-searching 
,god testified to them1 giving to them  
the ,holy ,spirit even as to us1        
#ae3i;and made no difference between us 
and them1 purifying their hearts by the 
faith4 #ae3aj,now1 therefore1 why do you
 try ,god1 to put on the necks of the   
disciples a yoke which neither our      

fathers nor we could bear8 #ae3aa;,but  
we believe that we shall be saved       
through the grace of the ,lord ,jesus in
 the same manner as they4  #c           
#ae3ab;,and all the multitude was       
silent1 and heard ,barnabas and ,paul   
relate what miracles and prodigies ,god 
performed among the gentiles through    
them4 #ae3ac;,and after they were       
silent1 ,james answered1 saying1 ,men   
and brothers1 hear me4 #ae3ad,simeon has
 related how ,god first visited the     
gentiles to take a people for his name4 
#ae3ae;,and with this agree the words of
 the prophets1 as it is written1        
#ae3af;,after this will ,i return and   
build up the tabernacle of ,david which 
had fallen down1 and rebuild its ruins1 
and set it up1 #ae3agthat the rest of   
men may seek the ,lord1 even all the    
nations on whom my name has been called1
 says the ,lord who does these things1  
#ae3ahknown from eternity4              
#ae3ai,wherefore ,i judge that we ought 
not to trouble those who turned to ,god 

from the gentiles1 #ae3bj;but to send to
 them to abstain from things sacrificed 
to idols1 and fornication1 and things   
strangled1 and blood4 #ae3ba;,for ,moses
 from ancient times has those who preach
 him in every city1 being read in the   
synagogues every sabbath4  #d           
#ae3bb,then it seemed good to the       
apostles and elders1 with all the       
assembly the church1 to send delegates  
from themselves to ,antioch with ,paul  
and ,barnabas1 ,judas called ,barsabbas1
 and ,silas1 leading men among the      
brothers1 #ae3bcwriting by their hand1  
,the apostles and elders and brothers1  
to the brothers in ,antioch and ,syria  
and ,cilicia1 who are of the gentiles1  
greeting4  #ae3bd,since we heard that   
some going out from us have troubled you
 with words subverting your souls1 to   
whom we gave no charge1 #ae3be;it seemed
 good to us1 being of one opinion1 to   
send delegates to you with our beloved  
,barnabas and ,paul1 #ae3bfmen who have 
hazarded their lives for the name of our

 ,lord ,jesus ,christ4 #ae3bg,we have   
sent1 therefore1 ,judas and ,silas1 and 
they will tell you the same things by   
word4 #ae3bh;,for it seemed good to the 
,holy ,spirit1 and to us1 to put no     
greater burden upon you except these    
necessary things2 #ae3bi that you should
 abstain from things sacrificed to      
idols1 and blood1 and things strangled1 
and fornication1 from which if you keep 
yourselves you will do well4 ,farewell4 
#e #ae3cj,they1 therefore1 being        
dismissed went to ,antioch1 and         
assembling the multitude delivered the  
epistle4 #ae3ca;,and reading it they    
rejoiced at the exhortation4 #ae3cb;,and
 ,judas and ,silas being themselves also
 prophets1 exhorted the brothers with   
much argument1 and confirmed them4      
#ae3cc;,and having staid some time1 they
 were dismissed in peace by the brothers
 to those that sent them4 #ae3ce;,but   
,paul and ,barnabas remained at         
,antioch1 teaching and preaching with   
many others the word of the ,lord4      

,,chapter ,,xiii4  ,,paul',s ,,second   
,,mission ,,to ,,asia ,,minor4--,a4,d4  
#ea-eb4  #a #ae3cf;,,and after some days
 ,paul said to ,barnabas1 ,let us return
 and visit the brothers in every city in
 which we preached the word of the      
,lord1 and see how they do4 #ae3cg;,and 
,barnabas wished to take with them ,john
 called ,mark2 #ae3ch but ,paul thought 
not best to take with them one who      
deserted them at ,pamphylia and did not 
go with them to the work4 #ae3ci;,and   
there was a sharp contention1 so that   
they separated from each other2 and     
,barnabas taking ,mark sailed to        
,cyprus4  #b #ae3dj;,but ,paul choosing 
,silas went out1 commended to the favor 
of the ,lord by the brothers4           
#ae3da;,and he passed through ,syria and
 ,cilicia confirming the churches4      
#af3a;,and he went to ,derbe and        
,lystra4 ,and behold1 there was a       
certain disciple there by the name of   
,timothy1 a son of a ,jewish woman1 a   
believer1 but of a ,greek father1       

#af3bwho was commended by the brothers  
in ,lystra and ,iconium4 #af3c;,him     
,paul wished to have go with him2 and he
 took and circumcised him on account of 
the ,jews who were in those places2 for 
all knew that his father was a ,greek4  
#c #af3d;,and when he went through the  
cities he gave them the ordinances to   
observe which had been determined by the
 apostles and elders at ,jerusalem4  #d 
#af3e,then the churches were            
strengthened in the faith1 and increased
 in number daily4 #af3f;,and passing    
through ,phrygia and the country of     
,galatia1 being forbidden by the ,holy  
,spirit to speak the word in ,asia1     
#af3g;coming by ,mysia they endeavored  
to go into ,bithynia2 and the ,spirit of
 ,jesus did not permit them2 #af3h;and  
passing by ,mysia they went down to     
,troas4 #af3i;,and a vision appeared by 
night to ,paul2 a certain man of        
,macedonia standing1 asking him1 and    
saying1 ,come over into ,macedonia and  
help us4 #af3aj;,and when he saw the    

vision we immediately sought to go into 
,macedonia1 concluding that the ,lord   
had called us to preach the good news to
 them4    ,,chapter ,,xiv4  ,,paul ,,and
 ,,his ,,company ,,at ,,philippi ,,on   
,,their ,,first ,,mission ,,to

 in a direct course to ,samothracia1 and
 on the next day to ,neapolis1          
#af3ab;and thence to ,philippi1 which is
 the chief city of that part of         
,macedonia1 and a colony4 ,and we spent 
some days in that city4 #af3ac;,and on  
the sabbath we went out of the gate1 by 
the river1 where the proseuche place of 
prayer usually was1 and sitting down we 
spoke to the women who came together4   
#af3ad;,and a certain woman by the name 
of ,lydia1 a dealer in purple1 of the   
city of ,thyatira1 who worshipped ,god1 
heard1 whose heart the ,lord opened to  
attend to the words spoken by ,paul4  #b
 #af3ae;,and when she was baptized1 and 
her house1 she requested saying1 ,if you

 have judged me faithful to the ,lord1  
come into my house and stay2 and she    
constrained us4  #c #af3af;,and when we 
went to the proseuche1 a certain female 
servant having a spirit1 a diviner1 met 
us1 who brought her masters much gain by
 divining4 #af3ag,she following ,paul   
and us1 cried1 saying1 ,these men are   
servants of the ,most ,high ,god1 who   
declare to us the way of salvation2     
#af3ah;and this she did for many days4  
,and ,paul being grieved turned around  
and said to the spirit1 ,i command you1 
in the name of ,jesus ,christ1 to come  
out of her4 ,and it came out of her in  
that hour4 #af3ai;,and her masters      
seeing that the hope of their gain was  
gone1 seizing ,paul and ,silas dragged  
them to the market1 to the rulers1      
#af3bj and bringing them before the     
prefects said1 ,these men1 being ,jews1 
greatly trouble the city1 #af3ba;and    
preach customs which it is not lawful   
for us1 being ,romans1 to receive or    
observe4 #af3bb;,and the multitude came 

together against them1 and the prefects 
tearing off their clothes gave orders to
 beat them with rods1 #af3bc;and having 
inflicted many blows on them cast them  
into prison1 charging the jailer to keep
 them safely2 #af3bdwho1 having received
 such a charge1 cast them into the inner
 prison1 and made their feet fast in the
 stocks4  #d #af3be;,but at midnight    
,paul and ,silas prayed and sung praises
 to ,god1 and the prisoners heard them4 
#af3bf;,and suddenly there was a great  
earthquake1 so that the foundations of  
the prison were shaken2 and all the     
doors were immediately opened1 and the  
bands of all were removed4 #af3bg;,and  
the jailer awaking from sleep and seeing
 the doors of the prison opened1 drew   
his sword and was about to kill himself1
 supposing that the prisoners had       
escaped4 #af3bh;,but ,paul cried with a 
loud voice1 saying1 ,do yourself no     
harm1 for we are all here4 #af3bi;,and  
asking for a light he sprang in1 and    
fell down trembling before ,paul and    

,silas1 #af3cj;and bringing them out    
said1 ,sirs1 what must ,i do to be      
saved8 #af3ca ,and they said1 ,believe  
on the ,lord ,jesus1 and you shall be   
saved1 and your house4 #af3cb;,and they 
spoke the word of the ,lord to him and  
all those in his house4  #e #af3cc;,and 
taking them that hour of the night1 he  
washed them from their stripes1 and was 
baptized1 he and all his1 immediately1  
#af3cd;and conducting them up into his  
house he set a table1 and rejoiced with 
all his house1 having believed in ,god4 
#af3ce;,and when it was day the prefects
 sent the lictors1 saying1 ,let those   
men go4 #af3cf;,and the jailer told     
these words to ,paul2 ,the prefects have
 sent to let you go2 now1 therefore1 go1
 and depart in peace4  #f #af3cg;,but   
,paul said to him1 ,they have beaten us 
publicly uncondemned1 being ,romans1 and
 cast us into prison2 and now do they   
privately cast us out8 ,no1 indeed3 but 
let them come themselves and conduct us 
out4 #af3ch;,and the lictors told these 

words to the prefects1 and they were    
afraid when they heard that they were   
,romans2 #af3ci;and they came and       
besought them1 and conducting them out  
desired them to leave the city4         
#af3dj;,and going out of the prison they
 entered into the house of ,lydia1 and  
having seen the brothers they exhorted  
them1 and departed4    ,,chapter ,,xv4  
,,paul ,,and ,,his ,,company ,,at       
,,thessalonica1 ,,berea1 ,,and          
,,athens4--,a4,d4  #ec4  #a #ag3a;,,and 
travelling through ,amphipolis and      
,apollonia they came to ,thessalonica1  
where there was a synagogue of the      
,jews4  #ag3b;,and according to his     
custom ,paul went in to them1 and       
reasoned with them three sabbaths from  
the ,scriptures1 #ag3c;explaining and   
asserting that the ,christ ought to     
suffer and to rise from the dead2 and   
that this ,jesus whom ,i preach to you  
is the ,christ4 #ag3d;,and some of them 
believed and adhered to ,paul and       
,silas2 of the pious ,greeks a great    

multitude1 and of the chief women not a 
few4 #ag3e;,but the unbelieving ,jews   
taking certain base men of those about  
the markets1 and exciting a mob1        
disturbed the city2 and coming to the   
house of ,jason sought to bring them out
 to the people2 #ag3f;but not finding   
them1 they dragged ,jason and some      
brothers to the rulers of the city1     
crying1 ,these men who have turned the  
world upside down have come here also1  
#ag3g;and ,jason has received them2 and 
they all do things contrary to the      
ordinances of ,caesar1 saying that there
 is another king1 ,jesus4 #ag3h;,and    
they excited the multitude and the      
rulers of the city hearing these things1
 #ag3i;and taking security of ,jason and
 the rest they let them go4  #b         
#ag3aj;,and the brothers immediately1 by
 night1 sent away ,paul and ,silas to   
,berea2 and when they came they went    
into the synagogue of the ,jews2        
#ag3aa;but these were more noble than   
those in ,thessalonica1 for they        

received the word with all readiness1   
examining the ,scriptures daily to see  
if these things were so4 #ag3ab,many of 
them therefore believed1 both of        
honorable ,grecian women1 and of men not
 a few4 #ag3ac;,and when the ,jews in   
,thessalonica knew that the word of ,god
 was preached by ,paul at ,berea1 they  
came there exciting the multitudes4  #c 
#ag3ad,then the brothers immediately    
sent ,paul away1 as if to go by sea2 but
 ,silas and ,timothy remained there4    
#ag3ae;,and those conducting ,paul      
brought him to ,athens1 and receiving a 
charge to ,silas and ,timothy to come to
 him as soon as possible1 they departed4
  #d #ag3af;,and while ,paul waited for 
them at ,athens1 his spirit was moved   
within him as he saw the city wholly    
devoted to idolatry4  #ag3ag,then he    
reasoned in the synagogue with the ,jews
 and those that were pious1 and in the  
market every day with those he met4     
#ag3ah;,and some of the ,epicurean and  
,stoic philosophers disputed with him1  

and some said1 ,what does this trifler  
mean to say8 ,and others1 ,he seems to  
be a preacher of strange demons2 because
 he preached to them ,jesus and the     
resurrection4 #ag3ai;,and laying hold of
 him they brought him to the ,areopagus1
 saying1 ,may we know what this new     
teaching is which is taught by you8     
#ag3bj;for you bring certain strange    
things to our ears2 we wish therefore to
 know what these things mean4           
#ag3ba;,and all the ,athenians and the  
strangers living there spend their      
leisure in nothing else but telling or  
hearing something new4  #e #ag3bb;,and  
,paul standing in the midst of the      
,areopagus said1 ,men of ,athens1 ,i    
perceive that in all things you are     
extremely devoted to the worship of     
demons4 #ag3bc;,for as ,i passed        
through1 and observed your objects of   
worship1 ,i found also an altar on which
 was inscribed1 ,,to ,,an ,,unknown     
,,god4 ,what therefore you worship as   
unknown1 this ,i declare to you4        

#ag3bd,the ,god who made the world and  
all things in it1 this ,god being ,lord 
of heaven and earth dwells not in       
temples made with hands1 #ag3beneither  
is he served by the hands of men as     
needing any thing1 since he gives to all
 life1 and breath1 and all things2      
#ag3bf;and he made of one blood every   
nation of men to live on all the face of
 the earth1 determining their appointed 
times and the bounds of their           
habitation1 #ag3bgthat they should seek 
,god1 if perhaps they might feel after  
and find him1 and indeed he is not far  
from every one of us4 #ag3bh;,for in him
 we live1 and move1 and are2 as some    
also of your own poets have said1 ,for  
we are his offspring4 #ag3bi;,being     
therefore an offspring of ,god1 we ought
 not to think the ,deity to be like gold
 or silver or stone1 a work of art and  
human device4  #f #ag3cj,overlooking    
therefore the times of ignorance1 ,god  
now commands all men everywhere to      
change their minds1 #ag3ca;because he   

has appointed a day in which he is about
 to judge the world in righteousness1 by
 the man whom he has appointed1 giving  
assurance to all by raising him from the
 dead4 #ag3cb;,but when they heard of a 
resurrection of the dead1 some scoffed2 
but others said1 ,we will hear you again
 of this4 #ag3cc,so ,paul went out from 
the midst of them2 #ag3cd;but certain   
men adhering to him believed1 among whom
 were ,dionysius the ,areopagite1 and a 
woman named ,damaris1 and others with   
them4    ,,chapter ,,xvi4  ,,paul ,,and 
,,his ,,company ,,at ,,corinth1 ,,his   
,,visit ,,to ,,syria ,,and ,,asia       
,,minor4--,a4,d4 #ec-ee4  #a #ah3a;,,and
 after this ,paul left ,athens and came 
to ,corinth4  #ah3b;,and finding a      
certain ,jew by the name of ,aquila1 a  
native of ,pontus1 who had recently come
 from ,italy1 and his wife ,priscilla1  
because ,claudius had ordered all the   
,jews to leave ,rome1 he went to them1  
#ah3c;and because he was of the same    
trade continued and labored with them2  

for they were tent makers4  #ah3d;,and  
he reasoned in the synagogue every      
sabbath1 and persuaded both ,jews and   
,greeks4  #b #ah3e;,and when ,silas and 
,timothy came from ,macedonia1 ,paul    
gave himself wholly to preaching the    
word1 testifying to the ,jews ,christ   
,jesus4 #ah3f;,but when they disputed   
and blasphemed1 shaking his garments he 
said to them1 ,your blood be upon your  
heads2 ,i1 pure1 from this time will go 
to the gentiles4  #c #ah3g;,and         
departing thence he came into the house 
of a man called ,justus1 who worshipped 
,god1 and whose house adjoined the      
synagogue4 #ah3h;,and ,crispus the      
synagogue ruler believed in the ,lord1  
with all his house2 and many of the     
,corinthians who heard believed and were
 baptized4 #ah3i;,and the ,lord said to 
,paul1 in a vision by night1 ,fear not1 
but speak and be not silent1 #ah3aj;for 
,i am with you2 and no one shall attack 
you to hurt you1 for ,i have many people
 in this city4 #ah3aa;,and he remained  

there a year and six months1 teaching   
among them the word of ,god4  #d        
#ah3ab;,and when ,gallio was proconsul  
of ,achaia1 the ,jews rose with one     
consent against ,paul and brought him to
 the tribunal1 #ah3acsaying1 ,this man  
persuades men to worship ,god contrary  
to the law4 #ah3ad;,and when ,paul was  
about to open his mouth ,gallio said to 
the ,jews1 ,if there was any injustice  
or evil imposition1 ,o ,jews1 ,i would  
bear with you in a reasonable manner2   
#ah3ae but if it is a question of       
doctrine1 and of names1 and of your law1
 look to it yourselves2 for ,i will not 
be a judge of these things4  #ah3af;,and
 he drove them from the tribunal4       
#ah3ag;,and they all took ,sosthenes the
 synagogue-ruler and beat him before the
 tribunal2 and ,gallio cared for none of
 these things4  #e #ah3ah;,and ,paul    
having remained yet many days took leave
 of the brothers1 and sailed to ,syria2 
and ,priscilla was with him1 and        
,aquila1 having shaved his head at      

,cenchrea2 for he had a vow4            
#ah3ai;,and they came to ,ephesus1 and  
he left them there1 and entering himself
 into the synagogue reasoned with the   
,jews4  #ah3bj;,and they asking him to  
stay a longer time with them he did not 
consent1 #ah3ba;but taking leave of them
 and saying1 ,i will return to you      
again1 if ,god will1 he sailed from1    
,ephesus1 #ah3bb;and coming down to     
,caesarea1 and going up and saluting the
 church1 he went down to ,antioch2      
#ah3bc;and having spent some time there 
he went away1 passing in order through  
the country of ,galatia and ,phrygia1   
confirming all the disciples4           
,,chapter ,,xvii4  ,,paul ,,at          
,,ephesus4--,a4,d4 #ee-eh4  #a          
#ah3bd;,,and a certain ,jew by the name 
of ,apollos1 an ,alexandrian by birth1  
an eloquent man1 came to ,ephesus1 being
 powerful in the ,scriptures4           
#ah3be,this man was instructed in the   
way of the ,lord1 and being fervent in  
spirit spoke and taught correctly the   

doctrines concerning ,jesus1 knowing    
only the baptism of ,john2 #ah3bf;and   
this man began to speak boldly in the   
synagogue1 and ,priscilla and ,aquila   
hearing him took him and taught him more
 accurately the way4 #ah3bg ,and he     
wishing to go into ,achaia1 the brothers
 sent him1 and wrote to the disciples to
 receive him4 ,and when he came he      
helped those much who had believed      
through the grace2 #ah3bh;for he argued 
powerfully against the ,jews1 publicly  
showing by the ,scriptures that ,jesus  
is the ,christ4  #b #ai3a;,and when     
,apollos was at ,corinth1 ,paul1 passing
 through the higher portions of the     
country1 came to ,ephesus1 and found    
certain disciples2 #ai3b and he said to 
them1 ,have you received the ,holy      
,spirit since you believed8 ,and they   
said to him1 ,we have not heard that    
there is a ,holy ,spirit4 #ai3c;,and he 
said to them1 ,with what then were you  
baptized8 ,and they said1 ,with ,john's 
baptism4 #ai3d,paul said1 ,john indeed  

baptized administered the baptism of a  
change of mind1 telling the people to   
believe on him that was to come after   
him1 that is1 on ,jesus4 #ai3e;,and     
hearing this they were baptized in the  
name of the ,lord ,jesus3 #ai3f;and     
,paul putting his hands on them1 the    
,holy ,spirit came on them1 and they    
spoke with tongues and prophesied4      
#ai3g;,and all the men were about       
twelve4  #c #ai3h;,and going into the   
synagogue he spoke boldly1 for three    
months1 reasoning and persuading in     
favor of the kingdom of ,god4           
#ai3i;,but when some were hardened and  
believed not1 speaking evil of the way  
before the multitude1 he left them and  
separated the disciples from them1 and  
reasoned day by day in the school of one
 ,tyrannus4 #ai3aj;,and this was done   
for two years1 so that all who lived in 
,asia heard the word of the ,lord1 both 
,jews and ,greeks4  #d #ai3aa;,and ,god 
performed unusual miracles by the hands 
of ,paul1 #ai3abso that napkins and     

aprons were brought from him to the     
sick1 and their diseases left them1 and 
the evil spirits went out of them4      
#ai3ac;,and some of the travelling      
,jewish exorcists undertook to call over
 those that had evil spirits the name of
 the ,lord ,jesus1 saying1 ,i adjure you
 by the ,jesus whom ,paul preaches4     
#ai3ad;,and there were some seven sons  
of ,sceva1 a ,jew1 a chief priest1 who  
did this4 #ai3ae;,but the evil spirit   
answered and said1 ,jesus ,i know1 and  
,paul ,i know1 but who are you8         
#ai3af;,and the man in whom the evil    
spirit was leaped upon them1 and        
overcome them1 and prevailed against    
them1 so that they escaped from his     
house1 naked and wounded4 #ai3ag;,and   
this was known both to all the ,jews and
 ,greeks who lived at ,ephesus1 and fear
 fell on them all1 and the name of the  
,lord ,jesus was magnified2 #ai3ah;and  
many of those who believed came and     
confessed1 and showed their practices4  
#ai3ai;,and many of those who practised 

secret arts brought their books1 and    
burnt them before all2 and they computed
 the price of them1 and found it to be  
fifty thousand didrachmas of silver     
#h1ccc4 #ai3bj,so the word of the ,lord 
increased powerfully and prevailed4  #f 
#ai3ba;,and when these things were      
accomplished1 ,paul was disposed by the 
,spirit1 passing through ,macedonia and 
,achaia1 to go to ,jerusalem1 saying1   
,after ,i have been there ,i must see   
,rome4  #ai3bb;,and sending two that    
served him into ,macedonia1 ,timothy and
 ,erastus1 he continued a time in ,asia4
  #g #ai3bc;,and there was at that time 
no small tumult about the way of the    
,lord4 #ai3bd;,for a certain ,demetrius 
by name1 a silversmith1 who made silver 
temples of ,diana1 and afforded his     
artisans no small gain1                 
#ai3be;assembling them together and     
laborers of like employments1 said1     
,men1 you know that our prosperity is   
derived from this employment1 #ai3bf;and
 you see and hear1 that not only at     

,ephesus1 but in almost all ,asia1 this 
,paul has led away a great multitude by 
persuasion1 saying that things which are
 made by hands are not gods4 #ai3bg;,and
 not only this work of ours is in danger
 of coming into contempt1 but even the  
temple of the great goddess ,diana of   
being set at nought1 and her majesty    
also which all ,asia and the world      
worships1 of being destroyed4  #h       
#ai3bh;,and hearing this they were full 
of wrath1 and cried1 saying1 ,great is  
,diana of the ,ephesians6 #ai3bi;,and   
the whole city was full of confusion2   
and they rushed with one accord to the  
theatre1 taking ,gaius and ,aristarchus1
 ,macedonians1 fellow travellers of     
,paul4 #ai3cj;,and ,paul wishing to go  
in to the people1 the disciples did not 
permit him2 #ai3ca;and some of the      
rulers of ,asia also1 who were friendly 
to him1 sending to him1 besought him not
 to expose himself in the theatre4      
#ai3cb,some therefore cried one thing1  
and some another2 for the assembly was  

confused1 and the greater part knew not 
for what reason they had come together4 
#ai3cc;,and they advanced ,alexander    
from the multitude1 the ,jews putting   
him forward2 and ,alexander motioning   
with his hand1 wished to defend himself 
before the people4  #ai3cd;,but knowing 
that he was a ,jew1 there was one voice 
from all1 for about two hours1 crying1  
,great is ,diana of the ,ephesians4  #i 
#ai3ce;,and the clerk having stilled the
 multitude1 said1 ,men of ,ephesus1 what
 man is there who does not know that the
 city of the ,ephesians is a worshipper 
of the great ,diana1 and of the ,jove   
descended image8 #ai3cf,these things    
therefore being indisputable1 it is best
 to be quiet1 and do nothing rashly4    
#ai3cg;,for you have brought these men  
here1 who are neither temple-robbers nor
 blasphemers of your goddess4           
#ai3ch;,if1 therefore1 ,demetrius and   
the artisans with him have a charge     
against any1 court days are held1 and   
there are pro-consuls2 let them accuse  

one another4 #ai3ci;,and if you desire  
any thing of other matters1 let it be   
determined in a lawful assembly4        
#ai3dj;,for we are in danger of being   
called to account for the tumult of     
to-day1 there being no cause by which we
 can excuse this concourse4 #ai3da;,and 
having said these words he dismissed the
 assembly4    ,,chapter ,,xviii4        
,,paul',s ,,visit ,,to ,,greece ,,and   
,,macedonia ,,and ,,his ,,return ,,to   
,,miletus4--,a4,d4 #eh1 #ei4  #a        
#bj3a;,,after the tumult was allayed1   
,paul calling the disciples and         
embracing them departed to go into      
,macedonia4 #bj3b;,and going through    
those parts1 and exhorting them with    
many words1 he went into ,greece2       
#bj3c;and when he had staid there three 
months1 and a conspiracy was formed     
against him by the ,jews as he was about
 to sail to ,syria1 he determined to    
return through ,macedonia4  #bj3d ,and  
there followed him to ,asia1 ,sopater   
the son of ,pyrrhus of ,berea1 and of   

those of ,thessalonica1 ,aristarchus and
 ,secundus1 and ,gaius of ,derbe1 and   
,timothy1 and those of ,asia1 ,tychicus 
and ,trophimus2 #bj3ethese going before 
waited for us at ,troas4  #bj3f;,and we 
sailed from ,philippi1 after the days of
 unleavened bread1 and came to those at 
,troas in five days1 where we staid     
seven days4  #b #bj3g;,and on the first 
day of the week1 we being assembled to  
break bread1 ,paul preached to them1    
being about to depart on the next day1  
and continued his discourse till        
midnight2 #bj3h;and there were many     
lamps in the upper room where we were   
assembled4  #bj3i;,and a young man by   
the name of ,eutychus sitting in a      
window1 falling into a deep sleep while 
,paul preached long1 and being overcome 
by sleep1 fell from the third story     
down1 and was taken up dead4 #bj3aj;,but
 ,paul going down fell on him1 and      
embracing him1 said1 ,be not troubled1  
for his life is in him4  #bj3aa;,and    
going up and breaking bread1 and tasting

 it1 and conversing a long time till the
 break of day1 he departed4  #bj3ab;,and
 they brought away the child alive1 and 
were not a little comforted4  #c        
#bj3ac;,and we going before by ship     
sailed to ,assos1 being about to take in
 ,paul at that place2 for so had he     
appointed1 being about to go on foot    
himself4 #bj3ad;,and when he met us at  
,assos1 we took him in and came to      
,mitylene1 #bj3ae;and sailing thence1 on
 the next day we came opposite to       
,chios1 and in another day we touched at
 ,samos1 and stopping at ,trogylium1 on 
the day following we came to ,miletus4  
#bj3af;,for ,paul had determined to sail
 by ,ephesus1 that it might not be      
necessary for him to spend a long time  
in ,asia2 for he hastened1 if it was    
possible for him1 to be at ,jerusalem at
 the day of ,pentecost4  #d #bj3ag;,and 
from ,miletus sending to ,ephesus he    
called for the elders of the church4    
#bj3ah;,and when they had come to him1  
he said to them1 ,you know from the     

first day that ,i came into ,asia1 how  
,i was with you at all times1 #bj3ai    
serving the ,lord with all humility1 and
 tears and trials that befell me by the 
conspiracies of the ,jews1 #bj3bj;how ,i
 kept not back from declaring to you and
 teaching you publicly and from house to
 house any thing that was profitable1   
#bj3batestifying both to ,jews and      
,greeks the change of mind to ,god1 and 
the faith in our ,lord ,jesus4          
#bj3bb;,and behold now1 ,i go           
constrained by the ,spirit to           
,jerusalem1 not knowing the things which
 shall befall me there1 #bj3bc;except   
that the ,holy ,spirit testifies to me  
in every city1 saying1 ,that bonds and  
afflictions await me4 #bj3bd;,but life  
precious to myself1 ,i make of no       
account that ,i may finish my course and
 the service which ,i received of the   
,lord ,jesus1 to testify the gospel of  
the grace of ,god4  #e #bj3be;,and now1 
behold1 ,i know that you all among whom 
,i have gone preaching the kingdom shall

 see my face no more4  #bj3bf,wherefore 
,i call you to witness this day1 that ,i
 am pure from the blood of all men2     
#bj3bg;for ,i have not kept back from   
declaring to you all the counsel of     
,god4 #bj3bh,take heed to yourselves1   
therefore1 and to all the flock in which
 the ,holy ,spirit has made you bishops1
 to feed the church of the ,lord which  
he has purchased with his blood4        
#bj3bi;,for ,i know that after my       
departure grievous wolves will come     
among you1 not sparing the flock1       
#bj3cj;and of yourselves men will arise 
speaking perverse things1 to draw away  
disciples after them4 #bj3ca,wherefore  
watch1 remembering that for three years1
 night and day1 ,i ceased not to        
admonish every one of you with tears4   
#bj3cb;,and now ,i commend you to ,god1 
and the word of his grace1 who is able  
to build you up and to give you an      
inheritance with all the sanctified4    
#bj3cc;,i have coveted no man's silver  
or gold or clothing2 #bj3cdyou          

yourselves know that these hands have   
served my necessities and those with me4
 #bj3ce;,i have showed you all things1  
that so laboring you ought to help the  
weak1 and to remember the words of the  
,lord ,jesus1 that he said1 ,it is more 
blessed to give than to receive4  #f    
#bj3cf;,and having said these words he  
kneeled down1 and prayed with them all4 
#bj3cg;,and they all wept much1 and fell
 on ,paul's neck and kissed him1 #bj3ch 
grieving most of all for the word which 
he said1 that they should see his face  
no more4 ,and they accompanied him to   
the ship4    ,,chapter ,,xix4  ,,paul   
,,and ,,his ,,company ,,pursuing ,,their
 ,,journey ,,to ,,caesarea ,,and        
,,jerusalem1 ,,etc4--,a4,d4 #ei4  #a    
#ba3a;,,and when we had torn ourselves  
from them we set sail1 and going in a   
straight course came to ,cos1 and on the
 next day to ,rhodes1 and thence to     
,patara4 #ba3b;,and finding a ship      
crossing to ,phenicia1 going on board we
 set sail4 #ba3c;,and observing ,cyprus1

 and leaving it on the left1 we sailed  
to ,syria1 and landed at ,tyre2 for     
there the ship was to discharge her     
cargo4  #ba3d ,and finding the disciples
 we continued there seven days2 and they
 told ,paul1 by the ,spirit1 not to go  
on to ,jerusalem4  #ba3e;,and when we   
had completed the days we went out and  
proceeded on our journey1 they all      
attending us with their wives and       
children till without the city1 and     
kneeling down on the shore we prayed1   
#ba3f;and having saluted each other we  
went to the ship1 and they returned to  
their homes4  #b #ba3g;,having completed
 our voyage from ,tyre we went to       
,ptolemais1 and having saluted the      
brothers continued with them one day4   
#ba3h;,and departing on the next day we 
came to ,caesarea1 and going to the     
house of ,philip the evangelist1 who was
 one of the seven1 we staid with him4   
#ba3i,this man had four virgin daughters
 who prophesied4 #ba3aj;,and having     
continued there many days1 there came   

down a certain prophet from ,judea by   
the name of ,agabus1 #ba3aa;and coming  
to us1 and taking ,paul's girdle1 and   
binding his hands and feet1 he said1    
,these things1 says the ,holy ,spirit2  
,thus will the ,jews at ,jerusalem bind 
the man that owns this girdle1 and      
deliver him into the hands of the       
gentiles4 #ba3ab;,and when we heard     
these things1 we and the people of the  
place besought him not to go up to      
,jerusalem4 #ba3ac;,but ,paul answered1 
,what do you do1 to weep and break my   
heart8 ,for ,i am ready not only to be  
bound1 but also to die at ,jerusalem1   
for the name of the ,lord ,jesus4       
#ba3ad;,and he not being persuaded1 we  
were silent1 saying1 ,the will of the   
,lord be done4  #c #ba3ae;,and after    
these days1 having made preparation1 we 
went up to ,jerusalem2 #ba3af;and some  
of the disciples from ,caesarea went up 
with us1 conducting us to ,mnason a     
,cyprian1 an early disciple with whom we
 lodged4  #d #ba3ag;,and when we arrived

 at ,jerusalem the brothers received us 
gladly4 #ba3ah;,and on the following day
 ,paul went with us to ,james1 and all  
the elders were present4 #ba3ai;,and    
having saluted them1 he related         
particularly what ,god had done among   
the gentiles by his ministry2 #ba3bj;and
 having heard1 they glorified ,god1 and 
said to him1 ,you see1 brother1 how many
 ten thousands there are of those who   
have believed1 among the ,jews1 and all 
are zealots of the law2 #ba3ba;and they 
have been informed of you1 that you     
teach all the ,jews among the gentiles  
to apostatize from ,moses1 telling them 
not to circumcise their children1 nor to
 walk according to the customs4         
#ba3bb,what then is to be done8 ,they   
will hear everywhere that you have come4
 #ba3bc;,do this1 therefore1 which we   
tell you4 ,we have four men having a vow
 upon them2 #ba3bdtake them and be      
purified with them1 and pay their       
expenses1 that they may shave their     
heads1 and all will know that the       

information which they have of you is   
not correct1 but that you walk also     
yourself keeping the law4 #ba3be;,but   
concerning the gentiles who have        
believed1 we have sent1 judging that    
they should avoid things offered to     
idols1 and blood1 and things strangled1 
and fornication4 #ba3bf,then ,paul      
taking the men1 on the following day    
being purified with them went into the  
temple1 announcing the completion of the
 days of purification till an offering  
should be offered for each one of them4

nearly completed1 the ,jews from ,asia  
seeing him in the temple excited all the
 multitude1 and laid hands on him1      
#ba3bh;crying1 ,men of ,israel1 help2   
this is the man who teaches all men     
everywhere against the people1 and the  
law1 and this place1 and besides he has 

brought ,greeks into the temple1 and    
defiled this holy place4 #ba3bi;,for    
they had before seen ,trophimus the     
,ephesian in the city with him1 and     
supposed that ,paul had brought him into
 the temple4 #ba3cj;,and all the city   
was moved1 and there was a concourse of 
the people1 and taking hold of ,paul    
they dragged him without the temple1 and
 immediately the gates were shut4  #b   
#ba3ca;,and while they were seeking to  
kill him1 a report went up to the       
chiliarch of the cohort that all        
,jerusalem was in commotion2 #ba3cbwho  
immediately taking soldiers and         
centurions ran down upon them2 and      
seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers1  
they ceased beating ,paul4 #ba3cc,then  
the chiliarch approaching took him1 and 
commanded him to be bound with two      
chains1 and inquired who he was and what
 he had done4 #ba3cd;,but some cried one
 thing1 and some another1 in the        
multitude1 and not being able to learn  
the truth1 on account of the tumult1 he 

commanded him to be carried into the    
fortress4 #ba3ce ,and when he was on the
 steps1 it happened that he was borne by
 the soldiers1 on account of the        
violence of the multitude2 #ba3cf;for   
the multitude of the people followed1   
crying1 ,take him away4  #c #ba3cg;,and 
being about to be carried into the      
fortress1 ,paul said to the chiliarch1  
,may ,i have permission to speak to you8
 ,and he said1 ,do you understand       
,greek8 #ba3ch;,are you not the         
,egyptian who before these days excited 
a sedition1 and led out into the        
wilderness the four thousand men who    
were murderers8 #ba3ci;,and ,paul said1 
,i am a ,jew1 of ,tarsus of ,cilicia1 a 
citizen of a not undistinguished city1  
,i beg of you1 permit me to speak to the
 people4 #ba3dj;,and he giving him      
permission1 ,paul stood up on the steps1
 and motioned with his hand to the      
people2 and when there was great        
silence1 he spoke in the ,hebrew        
language1 and said1 #bb3a,men1 brothers 

and fathers1 hear my present defense    
before you4 #bb3b;,and hearing that he  
spoke to them in the ,hebrew language1  
they kept the greater silence4  #e      
#bb3c;,and he said1 ,i am a ,jew1 born  
in ,tarsus of ,cilicia1 but brought up  
in this city1 instructed at the feet of 
,gamaliel in the accurate interpretation
 of the law of our fathers1 and am a    
zealous worshipper of ,god as you all   
are to-day2 #bb3d;and ,i persecuted this
 way to death1 binding and committing to
 prison both men and women1 #bb3e;as the
 chief priest also bears me witness1 and
 all the eldership1 from whom also      
receiving letters to the brothers ,i    
went to ,damascus1 to bring those who   
were there bound to ,jerusalem to be    
punished4  #f #bb3f;,and when ,i was on 
the way and had come nigh to ,damascus1 
about noon suddenly a great light from  
heaven shone around me1 #bb3g;and ,i    
fell on the earth1 and heard a voice    
saying to me1 ,saul1 ,saul1 why do you  
persecute me8 #bb3h;,and ,i answered1   

,who are you1 ,lord8 ,and he said to me1
 ,i am ,jesus the ,nazoraean1 whom you  
persecute4 #bb3i;,and those that were   
with me saw the light1 but they heard   
not the voice of him that spoke to me4  
#bb3aj;,and ,i said1 ,what shall ,i do1 
,lord8 ,and the ,lord said to me1       
,arise1 and go to ,damascus1 and there  
it shall be told you of all things which
 are appointed for you to do4  #g       
#bb3aa;,and when ,i could not see from  
the brightness of that light1 being led 
by the hand by those with me1 ,i came to
 ,damascus4 #bb3ab;,and a certain       
,ananias1 a man living according to the 
law1 approved by all the ,jews living   
there1 #bb3ac;coming and standing by1   
said to me1 ,brother ,saul1 ,receive    
your sight4 ,and in that hour ,i looked 
upon him4 #bb3ad;,and he said1 ,the ,god
 of our fathers chose you to know his   
will1 and to see the ,righteous ,one1   
and hear the voice of his mouth1        
#bb3ae;for you shall be a witness for   
him to all men of what you have seen and

 heard4 #bb3af;,and now1 why do you     
delay8 ,arising1 baptize and wash away  
your sins1 calling on his name4  #h     
#bb3ag;,and when ,i returned to         
,jerusalem and was praying in the       
temple1 ,i was in a trance1 #bb3ah;and  
saw him ,christ1 saying to me1 ,hasten  
and depart immediately from ,jerusalem1 
for they will not receive your testimony
 of me4 #bb3ai;,and ,i said1 ,lord1 they
 know that ,i imprisoned and beat in the
 synagogues those who believed on you2  
#bb3bj;and when the blood of your martyr
 ,stephen was poured out1 ,i also stood 
by and consented1 and kept the clothes  
of those that killed him4 #bb3ba;,and he
 said to me1 ,go1 for ,i will send you  
to nations far away4  #i #bb3bb;,and    
they heard him to this word1 and lifted 
up their voice saying1 ,take away such a
 man from the earth2 it is not fit that 
he should live4 #bb3bc ,and as they     
cried and rent their clothes and cast   
dust in the air1 #bb3bdthe chiliarch    
commanded him to be brought into the    

fortress1 ordering that he should be    
examined with scourges1 that he might   
know for what reason they cried so      
against him4 #bb3be;,but when they      
extended him with cords1 he said to the 
centurion standing by1 ,is it lawful for
 you to scourge a man1 a ,roman1 and    
uncondemned8 #bb3bf;,and the centurion  
hearing this1 went and told the         
chiliarch1 saying1 ,what are you about  
to do8 for this man is a ,roman4 #bb3bg 
,and the chiliarch came to him and said1
 ,tell me1 are you a ,roman8 ,and he    
said1 ,yes4 #bb3bh;,and the chiliarch   
answered1 ,i acquired this citizenship  
for a great price4 ,but ,paul said1 ,i  
am indeed1 and was also born one4       
#bb3bi,then those about to examine him  
immediately withdrew from him2 and the  
chiliarch was afraid1 knowing that he   
was a ,roman1 and because he had bound  
him4    ,,chapter ,,xxi4  ,,paul        
,,before ,,the ,,sanhedrim1 ,,and ,,sent
 ,,to ,,caesarea ,,for ,,safe           
,,keeping4--,a4,d4 #ei4  #a #bb3cj;,,and

 on the next day1 wishing to know the   
truth in respect to what he was accused 
of by the ,jews1 the chiliarch released 
him1 and commanded the chief priests and
 all the ,sanhedrim to come together2   
and bringing ,paul down he set him      
before them4 #bc3a;,and ,paul looking   
steadily at the ,sanhedrim1 said1 ,men  
and brothers1 ,i have lived before ,god 
in all good conscience to this day4     
#bc3b;,and the chief priest ,ananias    
commanded those standing by to strike   
him on the mouth4 #bc3c,then ,paul said 
to him1 ,god is about to strike you1    
whitewashed wall2 and do you sit to     
judge me according to the law1 and      
command me to be struck contrary to the 
law8 #bc3d;,and those standing by said1 
,do you revile ,god's chief priest8     
#bc3e;,and ,paul said1 ,i knew not      
brothers that he was a chief priest2 for
 it is written1 ,you shall not speak    
evil of the ruler of your people4  #b   
#bc3f;,and ,paul knowing that one part  
were ,sadducees and the other           

,pharisees1 cried in the ,sanhedrim1    
,men and brothers1 ,i am a ,pharisee and
 the son of ,pharisees2 for the hope and
 resurrection of the dead am ,i under   
trial4 #bc3g ,and having said this1     
there was a dissension between the      
,pharisees and ,sadducees1 and the      
multitude were divided4 #bc3h;,for the  
,sadducees say that there is no         
resurrection1 neither angel1 nor spirit1
 but the ,pharisees confess both4       
#bc3i;,and there was a great cry1 and   
the scribes of the party of the         
,pharisees rising up contended1 saying1 
,we find no evil in this man2 but what  
if a spirit or an angel has spoken to   
him8 #bc3aj;,and there being a great    
dissension1 the chiliarch1 fearing that 
,paul would be torn in pieces by them1  
commanded the troops to come down and   
take him by force from the midst of     
them1 and conduct him to the fortress4  
#c #bc3aa;,and on the following night   
the ,lord stood by him and said1 ,be of 
good courage1 for as you have testified 

of me at ,jerusalem1 so you must also   
testify at ,rome4 #bc3ab;,and when it   
was day1 the ,jews formed a conspiracy  
and bound themselves by an oath1 saying 
that they would not eat nor drink till  
they had killed ,paul4 #bc3ac;,and there
 were more than forty who took this     
oath1 #bc3ad who came to the chief      
priests and elders and said1 ,we have   
bound ourselves under a curse to taste  
nothing till we kill ,paul4 #bc3ae,now1 
therefore1 speak to the chiliarch1 with 
the ,sanhedrim1 to bring him down to you
 tomorrow1 as if you were about to      
investigate his case more accurately1   
and we1 before he comes nigh1 are ready 
to kill him4  #d #bc3af;,but a son of   
,paul's sister hearing of this lying in 
wait1 went and entering into the        
fortress told ,paul4 #bc3ag;,and ,paul  
calling one of the centurions1 said1    
,lead this young man to the chiliarch1  
for he has something to tell him4       
#bc3ah;,he therefore took him and led   
him to the chiliarch1 and said1 ,paul   

the prisoner called me and asked me to  
lead this young man to you1 who has     
something to tell you4 #bc3ai;,and the  
chiliarch taking him by the hand and    
leading him aside1 inquired1 ,what is it
 that you have to tell me8 #bc3bj;,and  
he said1 ,the ,jews have entered into a 
compact to ask you to bring down ,paul  
to the ,sanhedrim to-morrow1 as if about
 to learn more accurately of something  
concerning him4 #bc3ba;,but do not      
therefore be persuaded by them2 for more
 than forty men of them lie in wait1 who
 have taken an oath not to eat nor drink
 till they have killed him1 and now they
 are ready1 awaiting an answer from you4
  #bc3bb,then the chiliarch dismissed   
the young man1 charging him1 ,tell no   
one that you have informed me of these  
things4  #e #bc3bc;,and calling two of  
the centurions he said1 ,prepare two    
hundred soldiers to go to ,caesarea1 and
 seventy horsemen and two hundred light 
armed troops1 after the third hour of   
the night4  #bc3bd;,and provide animals 

to put ,paul on1 and take him safely to 
,felix the procurator4 #bc3be;,and he   
wrote a letter having this form2        
#bc3bf;,claudius ,lysias to the most    
excellent procurator ,felix1 greeting4  
#bc3bg;,i went with the soldiery and    
rescued this man1 when he was seized by 
the ,jews1 and about to be killed by    
them1 having learned that he is a       
,roman2 #bc3bh;and wishing to know the  
cause for which they accuse him1 ,i took
 him down to their ,sanhedrim1          
#bc3bi;and found him criminated in      
respect to questions of their law1 but  
charged with nothing worthy of death or 
bonds4 #bc3cj;,being informed that a    
conspiracy was about to be formed       
against the man1 ,i immediately sent to 
you1 commanding also his accusers to    
speak before you4  #f #bc3ca,the        
soldiers therefore took ,paul as they   
were commanded and brought him by night 
to ,antipatris1 #bc3cb;and the next day 
leaving the horsemen to go with him1    
they returned to the fortress4          

#bc3cc;,and when they came to ,caesarea1
 and had delivered the letter to the    
procurator1 they also presented ,paul to
 him4 #bc3cd;,and having read1 he asked 
of what province he was2 and learning   
that he was of ,cilicia1 #bc3ce;,i will 
hear you1 he said1 when your accusers   
have come2 and he commanded him to be   
kept in the ,praetorium of ,herod4      
,,chapter ,,xxii4  ,,paul',s ,,trial    
,,before ,,felix ,,the

#bd3a;,,and after five days the chief   
priest ,ananias1 with the elders1 and a 
certain orator1 ,tertullus1 went down   
and gave information to the procurator  
against ,paul4 #bd3b;,and he being      
called1 ,tertullus began to accuse him1 
saying1 ,having obtained great peace by 
you1 and things being happily arranged  
for this nation by your oversight in all
 things and in all places #bd3cwe accept
 it most excellent ,felix1 with all     
thankfulness4  #bd3d;,but that ,i may   
not further weary you1 ,i beg you to    

hear us briefly1 with your clemency4    
#bd3e;,for finding this man a pestilence
 and a mover of sedition among all the  
,jews throughout the world1 and a chief 
of the sect of the ,nazoraeans1 #bd3fwho
 also endeavored to profane the temple1 
whom we also took1 #bd3h;from whom you  
will be able to learn by examination of 
all these things of which we accuse him4
 #bd3i;,and the ,jews also assented1    
saying1 ,these things are so4  #b       
#bd3aj;,and the procurator making a sign
 to him to speak1 ,paul answered1       
,knowing that you have been for many    
years a judge of this nation1 ,i shall  
defend myself cheerfully1 #bd3aayou     
being able to know that it is not more  
than twelve days since ,i went up to    
worship at ,jerusalem4 #bd3ab;,and they 
did not find me in the temple disputing 
with any one1 or making a disturbance of
 the multitude1 neither in the          
synagogues nor in the city2             
#bd3acneither can they prove the things 
of which they now accuse me4  #c        

#bd3ad;,but this ,i confess to you1 that
 in the way which they call a heresy1 so
 worship ,i the ,god of my fathers2     
believing all things written in the law 
and the prophets1 #bd3ae;having a hope  
in ,god which they also hold1 that there
 will be a resurrection both of the     
righteous and wicked4 #bd3af;,and in    
this also ,i endeavor always to have a  
conscience without offense towards ,god 
and man4  #d #bd3ag;,but after many     
years ,i came to bring charities and    
offerings to my nation1 #bd3ah;in which 
certain ,jews from ,asia found me       
purified in the temple1 not with a      
multitude1 nor with a tumult1 #bd3aiwho 
ought to be present and accuse me before
 you1 if they have any thing against me4
 #bd3bj,or let them say whether they    
found any unrighteousness in me when ,i 
stood before the ,sanhedrim1            
#bd3ba;except in this one statement     
which ,i made1 as ,i stood among them1  
that ,i am under trial by you to-day    
concerning the resurrection of the dead4

  #e #bd3bb;,but ,felix put them off1   
saying1 ,having learned more accurately 
of this way1 when ,lysias the chiliarch 
comes down ,i will decide concerning    
your matters1 #bd3bc;and he commanded   
the centurion that ,paul should be kept1
 and be freed from bonds1 and that he   
should forbid none of his friends to    
serve him4  #f #bd3bd;,and after some   
days ,felix coming with ,drusilla his   
wife1 who was a ,jewess1 sent for ,paul1
 and heard him concerning the faith in  
,christ4 #bd3be;,and as he discoursed of
 righteousness1 and temperance1 and the 
judgment about to come1 ,felix being    
terrified answered1 ,go for the present2
 but when ,i have time ,i will call you4
 #bd3bf;,at the same time also he hoped 
that money would be given him by ,paul2 
and on this account sent for him the    
oftener1 and conversed with him4        
#bd3bg;,but after two years had passed1 
,felix was succeeded by ,porcius

went up from ,caesarea to ,jerusalem4   
#be3b;,and the chief priests and the    
first men of the ,jews informed him     
against ,paul1 and besought him1        
#be3c;asking favor against him1 that he 
would send for him to ,jerusalem1 having
 provided an ambuscade to kill him on   
the way4 #be3d,then ,festus answered    
that ,paul should be kept at ,caesarea1 
and that he would go down there shortly2
 #be3e;and then1 he said1 the principal 
men among you may go down with me2 if   
there is any thing against this man they
 may prosecute him4 #be3f;,and staying  
with them not more than eight or ten    
days1 he went down to ,caesarea1 and on 
the next day1 sitting on the tribunal1  
commanded ,paul to be brought4  #b      
#be3g;,and when he had come1 the ,jews  

who had come down from ,jerusalem stood 
around him1 bringing many and weighty   
accusations which they could not prove1 
#be3hwhile ,paul maintained in his      
defense1 ,neither against the law of the
 ,jews1 nor against the temple1 nor     
against ,caesar1 have ,i done any wrong4
  #c #be3i;,but ,festus wishing to      
gratify the ,jews1 answered ,paul and   
said1 ,are you willing to go up to      
,jerusalem1 and there be tried by me for
 these things8 #be3aj;,and ,paul said1  
,i stand at the tribunal of ,caesar1    
where ,i ought to be tried4 ,i have not 
injured the ,jews1 as you also know very
 well4 #be3aa;,if indeed ,i have done   
wrong or committed any thing worthy of  
death1 ,i refuse not to die2 but if     
those things of which they accuse me are
 nothing1 no man may give me up to them2
 ,i appeal to ,caesar4 #be3ab,then      
,festus having conferred with the       
council answered1 ,you have appealed to 
,caesar2 to ,caesar you shall go4  #d   
#be3ac;,but after some days king        

,agrippa and ,bernice came down to      
,caesarea to salute ,festus4 #be3ad;,and
 when they had staid there many days1   
,festus proposed the case of ,paul to   
the king1 saying1 ,there is a certain   
man left a prisoner by ,felix1          
#be3ae;concerning whom when ,i was at   
,jerusalem the chief priests and elders 
of the ,jews gave me information1 asking
 judgment against him2 #be3afto whom ,i 
answered1 ,it is not the custom of the  
,romans to give up any man before the   
accused has the accusers face to face1  
and is allowed an opportunity to defend 
himself against the accusation4  #e     
#be3ag,when therefore1 they came here1  
making no delay1 the next day ,i sat on 
the tribunal1 and ordered the man to be 
brought2 #be3ah;concerning whom his     
accusers standing up brought no charge  
of such things as ,i supposed1          
#be3ai;but had certain questions with   
him concerning their religion1 and      
concerning one ,jesus that was dead1 who
 ,paul said was alive4 #be3bj;,being in 

doubt on the question concerning these  
things1 ,i asked if he was willing to go
 to ,jerusalem and be tried by me there 
on these charges4 #be3ba;,but ,paul     
appealing1 to be kept for the hearing of
 ,augustus1 ,i commanded him to be kept 
till ,i could send him to ,caesar4      
#be3bb;,and ,agrippa said to ,festus1 ,i
 should like to hear the man also       
myself4 ,and he said1 ,to-morrow you    
shall hear him4  #f #be3bc,on the next  
day1 therefore1 ,agrippa and ,bernice   
coming with great pomp1 and entering    
into the place of hearing with          
chiliarchs and men of distinction in the
 city1 at the command of ,festus ,paul  
was brought4 #be3bd;,and ,festus said1  
,king ,agrippa1 and all the men present 
with us1 you see this man1 of whom all  
the multitude of the ,jews besought me1 
both at ,jerusalem and here1 crying out 
that he ought no longer to live4        
#be3be;,but finding that he had done    
nothing deserving death1 and he having  
appealed to ,augustus1 ,i have          

determined to send him4 #be3bf;,but ,i  
have nothing certain to write to the    
sovereign concerning him1 wherefore ,i  
have brought him before you1 and        
especially before you1 ,king ,agrippa1  
that on examination ,i may have         
something to write2 #be3bg for it seems 
to me unreasonable to send a prisoner1  
and not to signify the charges against  
him4  #g #bf3a;,and ,agrippa said to    
,paul1 ,you are permitted to speak for  
yourself4 ,then ,paul stretched out his 
hand and made his defense4 #bf3b;,i     
think myself happy1 ,king ,agrippa1 in  
being allowed to make my defense before 
you to-day in respect to all things of  
which ,i am accused by the ,jews1       
#bf3c;especially as you are acquainted  
with all the customs and questions of   
the ,jews2 wherefore1 ,i beg you to hear
 me patiently4 #bf3d,my mode of life    
from my childhood1 the early part of it 
being with my nation at ,jerusalem1 know
 all the ,jews1 #bf3ewho knew me from   
the first1 if they would testify1 that  

according to the strictest sect of our  
religion ,i lived a ,pharisee4          
#bf3f;,and now ,i stand on trial for the
 hope of the promise made by ,god to our
 fathers1 #bf3gwhich our twelve tribes1 
serving ,god continually1 day and night1
 hope to attain2 of this hope1 ,king    
,agrippa1 ,i am accused by the ,jews4   
#bf3h,why is it judged by you incredible
 that ,god raises the dead8 #bf3i;,i    
indeed thought with myself that ,i ought
 to do many things contrary to the name 
of ,jesus the ,nazoraean1 #bf3ajwhich ,i
 also did at ,jerusalem1 and many of the
 saints ,i shut up in prison1 having    
received authority from the chief       
priests1 and when they were killed ,i   
gave my vote against them4  #bf3aa;,and 
punishing them often in all the         
synagogues1 ,i compelled them to        
blaspheme1 and being exceedingly mad    
against them1 ,i pursued them even to   
cities abroad4  #h #bf3ab;,in which     
persecutions also1 going to ,damascus   
with authority1 and a commission from   

the chief priests1 #bf3ac;at midday ,i  
saw in the way ,o king1 a light from    
heaven shining around me and those going
 with me1 exceeding the brightness of   
the sun2 #bf3ad;and when we had all     
fallen on the earth1 ,i heard a voice   
speaking to me and saying in the ,hebrew
 language1 ,saul1 ,saul1 why do you     
persecute me8 it is hard for you to kick
 against the goads4 #bf3ae;,and ,i said1
 ,who are you1 ,lord8 ,and the ,lord    
said1 ,i am ,jesus whom you persecute4  
#bf3af;,but rise and stand on your feet2
 for ,i have appeared to you for this   
purpose1 to make you a minister and     
witness both of what you have seen and  
of visions  in which ,i will appear to  
you1 #bf3ag;delivering you from the     
people1 and the gentiles1 to whom ,i    
send you #bf3ahto open their eyes1 to   
turn them from darkness to light1 and   
from the power of ,satan to ,god1 that  
they may receive forgiveness of sins and
 an inheritance among the sanctified by 
faith in me4  #bf3ai,whence1 ,king      

,agrippa1 ,i was not disobedient to the 
heavenly vision1 #bf3bj;but preached    
first to those at ,damascus and         
,jerusalem1 and in all the country of   
,judea1 and to the gentiles1 that they  
should change their minds and turn to   
,god1 performing works worthy of a      
change of mind4  #i #bf3ba,on this      
account the ,jews seized me in the      
temple and endeavored to kill me4       
#bf3bb;,having obtained therefore help  
from ,god1 ,i have continued to this    
day1 testifying to small and great1     
saying nothing but what the prophets and
 ,moses said should take place2         
#bf3bcthat the ,christ should suffer1   
and that he first from the resurrection 
of the dead should proclaim light both  
to the people and the nations4  #aj     
#bf3bd;,and when ,paul had said these   
words1 ,festus said with a loud voice1  
,you are mad1 ,paul2 much learning has  
driven you to madness4 #bf3be;,but he   
said1 ,i am not mad1 most excellent     
,festus1 but utter words of truth and   

sobriety4 #bf3bf;,for the king knows of 
these things1 before whom ,i speak      
freely2 for ,i am persuaded that none of
 these things have escaped his notice2  
for this was not done in a corner4      
#bf3bg,king ,agrippa1 believe you the   
prophets8 ,i know that you believe4     
#bf3bh;,and ,agrippa said to ,paul1 ,you
 almost persuade me to be a ,christian4 
#bf3bi;,and ,paul said1 ,i would to ,god
 that not only you but also all who hear
 me this day were both almost and       
altogether such as ,i am1 except these  
bonds4 #bf3cj;,and the king arose1 and  
the procurator1 and ,bernice1 and those 
who sat with them1 #bf3ca;and departing 
they conversed with each other1 saying1 
,this man has done nothing deserving    
death or bonds4 #bf3cb;,and ,agrippa    
said to ,festus1 ,if he had not appealed
 to ,caesar1 this man might be released4

#a #bg3a;,,and when it was determined   
that we should sail to ,italy1 they     

delivered ,paul and certain other       
prisoners to a centurion by the name of 
,julius1 of the cohort of ,augustus4    
#bg3b;,and going on board of a ship of  
,adramyttium1 which was about to sail to
 places in ,asia1 we set sail1          
,aristarchus a ,macedonian of           
,thessalonica being with us2 #bg3c;and  
on the next day we came to ,sidon1 and  
,julius treating ,paul with humanity    
allowed him to go to his friends1 and   
receive attention4  #b #bg3d,proceeding 
thence we sailed under ,cyprus1 because 
the winds were contrary1 #bg3e;and      
sailing through the sea by ,cilicia and 
,pamphylia we came to ,myra in ,lycia2  
#bg3f;and the centurion finding there an
 ,alexandrian ship sailing to ,italy1   
put us into it4 #bg3g;,and sailing      
slowly in those days1 and scarcely being
 by ,cnidus1 the wind not permitting us 
to proceed in a direct course we sailed 
under ,crete1 by ,salmone1 #bg3h;and    
sailing by it with difficulty1 we came  
to a place called ,fair ,havens1 near   

which is the city ,lasea4  #c #bg3i;,but
 some time being spent and navigation   
not being safe1 because the fast had    
already passed by1 ,paul advised1       
#bg3ajsaying to them1 ,men1 ,i see that 
the voyage will be with injury and much 
loss1 not only of the cargo and ship1   
but also of our lives4 #bg3aa;,but the  
centurion believed the master and owner 
rather than the words spoken by ,paul4  
#bg3ab;,and the harbor being            
inconvenient to winter in1 the greater  
part advised to depart thence1 and1 if  
they were able1 to come to ,phenice to  
winter1 a harbor of ,crete1 which opens 
to the ,south and ,southwest4  #d       
#bg3ac;,and the ,south wind blowing     
gently1 supposing that they had attained
 their purpose1 setting sail they       
proceeded along the coast of ,crete4    
#bg3ad;,but not long after a tempestuous
 wind1 called ,euroclydon1 rushed       
against it1 #bg3ae and the ship being   
caught and not being able to bear up    
against the wind1 we gave up1 and were  

borne along4 #bg3af;,and running a      
little under the island called ,clauda1 
we with difficulty became masters of the
 boat1 #bg3ag;and taking it out they    
used helps1 under-girding the ship2 and 
fearing lest they should fall on the    
shoal1 letting down the mast they were  
driven in that condition4 #bg3ah;,and we
 being exceedingly pressed with the     
storm1 on the next day they cast the    
cargo overboard1 #bg3ai;and on the third
 day with our own hands we cast         
overboard the furniture of the ship4    
#bg3bj;,and neither sun nor stars       
appearing for many days1 and no slight  
storm being upon us1 at last all hope   
that we should be saved was taken away4 
#e #bg3ba,then there having been long   
abstinence from food1 ,paul stood up in 
the midst of them and said1 ,you ought1 
men1 taking my advice1 not to have      
sailed from ,crete1 and to have saved   
this injury and loss4 #bg3bb;,and now ,i
 advise you to be of good courage2 for  
there shall be no loss of a life of you1

 but only of the ship4 #bg3bc;,for an   
angel of the ,god whose ,i am1 and whom 
,i serve1 came to me this night         
#bg3bd;and said1 ,fear not1 ,paul2 you  
must stand before ,caesar1 and behold1  
,god has given you all that sail with   
you4 #bg3be,wherefore1 men1 be of good  
courage2 for ,i believe ,god1 that it   
will be as he has told me2 #bg3bf but we
 must be cast on a certain island4  #f  
#bg3bg;,and on the fourteenth night1    
when we were borne along in the         
,adriatic1 at about midnight the sailors
 suspected that some land was           
approaching them4 #bg3bh;,and sounding  
they found twenty fathoms1 and going a  
little distance and sounding again they 
found fifteen fathoms2 #bg3bi;and       
fearing lest we should fall on rough    
places1 casting out four anchors from   
the stern1 they prayed for day4         
#bg3cj;,and the sailors seeking to      
escape from the ship1 and letting down  
the boat into the sea1 with the pretence
 that they were about to put out anchors

 from the fore part of the ship1        
#bg3ca,paul said to the centurion and   
soldiers1 ,unless these continue in the 
ship you cannot be saved4 #bg3cb,then   
the soldiers cut the ropes of the boat  
and let it fall off4  #g #bg3cc;,and    
when day was about to appear1 ,paul     
exhorted all to take food1 saying1 ,it  
is the fourteenth day to-day that you   
have watched and continued without food1
 taking nothing4  #bg3cd,wherefore ,i   
exhort you to partake of food2 for this 
is necessary to your safety1 for there  
shall not a hair perish from the head of
 any one of you4 #bg3ce;,and having said
 these things1 and taken bread1 he      
thanked ,god before all1 and having     
broken began to eat4 #bg3cf;,and all    
being in good spirits they also partook 
of food2 #bg3cg;and all the souls in the
 ship were two hundred and seventy-six4 
#bg3ch;,and being satisfied with food   
they lightened the ship1 casting the    
wheat into the sea4  #h #bg3ci;,and when
 it was day they did not know the land1 

but they perceived a bay having a shore1
 on which they wished if possible to    
thrust the ship4 #bg3dj ,and taking up  
the anchors1 they committed the ship to 
the sea1 loosening at the same time the 
fastenings of the rudder and raising the
 top sail to the wind1 they bore down   
towards the shore4 #bg3da;,and falling  
on a place with a sea on both sides1    
they run the ship aground4 ,and the bow 
being firmly fixed1 remained immoveable2
 and the stern was broken by violence4  
#i #bg3db;,and the design of the        
soldiers was to kill the prisoners1 that
 none might escape by swimming2         
#bg3dc;but the centurion wishing to save
 ,paul1 prohibited them from this       
design1 and commanded those able to swim
 to cast themselves into the water      
first1 and go to the land2 #bg3dd;and   
the rest1 some on boards1 and some on   
parts of the ship2 and in this way all  
were brought safely to land4  #aj       
#bh3a;,and when they were saved1 they   
learned that the island was called      

,melita4 #bh3b;,and the barbarians      
showed us no ordinary humanity2 for     
kindling a fire they received us all1 on
 account of the rain which was falling1 
and the cold4 #bh3c;,and ,paul having   
collected a bundle of sticks and put    
them on the fire1 a viper coming out    
from the heat fastened on his hand4     
#bh3d;,and when the barbarians saw the  
creature hanging from his hand1 they    
said one to another1 ,this man is       
undoubtedly a murderer1 whom though     
saved from the sea justice has not      
permitted to live4 #bh3e,then shaking   
off the creature into the fire he       
suffered no harm2 #bh3f;but they        
expected that he would swell up1 or     
suddenly fall down dead4 ,and waiting a 
long time1 and seeing nothing           
extraordinary happen to him1 they       
thought differently1 and said1 ,he is a 
god4  #aa #bh3g,near that place were the
 lands of the first man in the island1  
whose name was ,poplius1 who received   
and entertained us kindly three days4   

#bh3h;,and the father of ,poplius lay   
sick with a fever and dysentery1 and    
,paul came to him1 and prayed1 and put  
his hands on him1 and cured him4        
#bh3i;,and this being done1 the rest    
also who had sicknesses in the island   
came and were cured1 #bh3aj;and they    
bestowed on us many rewards1 and when we
 left supplied us with things that we   
needed4  #ab #bh3aa;,and after three    
months we sailed away in an ,alexandrian
 vessel1 that had wintered in the       
island1 with the sign of ,castor and    
,pollux4 #bh3ab;,and coming to ,syracuse
 we remained there three days2          
#bh3ac;and proceeding thence we came to 
,rhegium1 and after one day1 a south    
wind blowing1 we came the second day to 
,puteoli1 #bh3adwhere finding brothers  
we were invited to remain with them     
seven days2 and thus we came to ,rome4  
#bh3ae;,and thence1 the brothers hearing
 of us came out to meet us even to the  
,forum of ,appius1 and the ,three       
,taverns fifty-one miles2 and when ,paul

 saw them1 thanking ,god he took        
courage4    ,,chapter ,,xxv4  ,,paul    
,,at ,,rome4--,a4,d4 #fb1 #fd4  #a      
#bh3af;,,and when we came to ,rome the  
centurion committed the prisoners to the
 prefect of the camp1 and ,paul was     
allowed to remain by himself1 with a    
soldier to guard him4 #bh3ag;,and after 
three days he called the chief men of   
the ,jews together2 and when they had   
convened1 said to them1 ,men and        
brothers1 having done nothing contrary  
to the people or to the customs of the  
fathers1 ,i was delivered up from       
,jerusalem a prisoner into the hands of 
the ,romans1 #bh3ahwho on trial wished  
to release me1 because they found no    
cause of death in me2 #bh3ai;but the    
,jews opposing it ,i was compelled to   
appeal to ,caesar2 not that ,i have any 
thing of which to accuse my nation4     
#bh3bj;,for this reason1 therefore1 ,i  
have called you to see and converse with
 you1 because ,i am loaded with this    
chain on account of the hope of ,israel4

  #b #bh3ba;,and they said to him1 ,we  
have neither received letters concerning
 you from ,judea1 nor has any one of the
 brothers come and reported or told any 
evil of you4 #bh3bb;,but we would like  
to hear from you what you think1 for it 
is known to us concerning this sect1    
that it is everywhere spoken against4   
#c #bh3bc;,and appointing him a day they
 came in great numbers to his lodging1  
to whom he set forth and testified the  
kingdom of ,god1 persuading them        
concerning ,jesus both from the law of  
,moses and the prophets1 from morning   
till evening4 #bh3bd;,and some believed 
the things which were spoken1 and others
 believed not2 #bh3be;and disagreeing   
among themselves they were dismissed by 
,paul1 saying one word2 ,well did the   
,holy ,spirit speak by ,isaiah the      
prophet to our fathers1 #bh3bfsaying1   
,go to this people and say1 ,hearing you
 shall hear and not understand1 and     
seeing you shall see and not perceive2  
#bh3bg;for the heart of this people has 

become hard1 and they hear imperfectly  
with their ears1 and they have shut     
their eyes1 lest at any time they should
 see with their eyes1 and hear with     
their ears1 and understand with their   
hearts1 and turn1 and ,i should cure    
them4 #bh3bh;,be it known to you1       
therefore1 that the salvation of ,god is
 sent to the gentiles1 and they will    
hear it4  #d #bh3cj;,but ,paul continued
 two entire years in his hired house1   
and received all who came to him1

you became followers of us and of the   
,lord1 having received the word in much 
affliction with the joy of the ,holy

you the word of the ,lord was proclaimed
 not only in ,macedonia and ,achaia1 but
 your faith with respect to ,god went   
into every place1 so that we had no need
 to say any thing2 #a3i;for they declare

 of us what introduction we had to you1

to serve the living and true ,god1      
#a3aj;and to wait for his ,son from     
heaven1 whom he raised from the dead1   
,jesus1 who delivers us from the wrath  
to come4  #d #b3a;,for you know1        
brothers1 our introduction to you that  
it was not in vain1 #b3b;but having     
suffered before1 and been injuriously   
treated1 as you know1 at ,philippi1 we  
were bold in our ,god to speak to you   
the gospel of ,god with much contention4
  #b3c;,for our exhortation was not of  
error1 nor of impurity1 nor with deceit1
 #b3d;but as we were judged worthy by   
,god to be intrusted with the gospel so 
we speak1 not as pleasing men1 but ,god 
who tries our hearts4 #b3e;,for we used 
at no time a word of flattery1 as you   
know1 nor a pretext for covetousness1   
,god is witness1 #b3fneither did we seek
 glory of men1 either of you or of      
others1 when we might have been         
burdensome as apostles of ,christ2      

#b3g;but we were gentle among you1 as a 
nurse would cherish her own children2   
#b3hso being greatly desirous of you1 we
 were well pleased to impart to you not 
only the gospel of ,god1 but our own    
souls1 because you were dear to us4     
#b3i;,for you remember1 brothers1 our   
labor and weariness2 that working night 
and day not to be burdensome to any one 
of you1 we preached to you the gospel of
 ,god4 #b3aj,you are witnesses1 and     
,god1 how piously1 and righteously1 and 
blamelessly we were with you that       
believe1 #b3aa;as you know how we       
exhorted and comforted you1 as a father 
each one of his own children1 #b3ab;and 
charged you to walk worthily of ,god who
 calls you into his kingdom and glory4  
#e #b3ac;,for this cause also we thank  
,god without ceasing1 that receiving the
 word of ,god heard from us1 you        
received not a word of men1 but1 as it  
is in truth1 a word of ,god1 who also   
works in you that believe4 #b3ad;,for   
you1 brothers1 became followers of the  

churches of ,god in ,christ ,jesus which
 were in ,judea1 for you also suffered  
the same things from your countrymen1   
which they did from the ,jews #b3aewho  
also killed the ,lord ,jesus and the    
prophets1 and persecuted us1 and who    
please not ,god and are hostile to all  
men1 #b3af forbidding us to speak to the
 gentiles that they may be saved1 that  
they may fill up their sins always2 and 
the wrath has come on them to the       
utmost4  #f #b3ag;,but we1 brothers1    
being deprived of you for a short time  
in presence1 not in heart1 used greater 
diligence to see your face1 with much   
desire4 #b3ah ,for which reason we      
wished to come to you2 ,i ,paul indeed  
once and again1 and ,satan hindered us4 
#b3ai;,for what is our hope1 or joy1 or 
crown of rejoicing8 ,is it not even you 
before our ,lord ,jesus at his coming8  
#b3bj;,for you are our glory and joy4   
#g #c3a,when therefore we could no      
longer refrain1 we thought it best to be
 left alone at ,athens1 #c3b;and sent   

,timothy1 our brother and ,god's        
co-laborer in the gospel of ,christ1 to 
confirm you and to exhort you in behalf 
of your faith1 #c3cthat no one should be
 moved by these afflictions4 ,for you   
know that we are appointed for this2    
#c3d;for indeed when we came to you1 we 
told you before that we were about to   
suffer affliction1 as it also happened1 
and you know4 #c3e;,for this reason1    
being no longer able to forbear1 ,i sent
 to know your faith1 lest in some way   
the tempter should have tempted you1 and
 our labor be in vain4  #h #c3f;,but now
 ,timothy having come to us from you and
 told us the good news of your faith and
 love1 and that you have a good         
remembrance of us always1 desiring to   
see us1 as we also you1 #c3gtherefore we
 were comforted1 brothers1 on your      
account in all our affliction and       
distress by your faith1 #c3h;for now we 
live1 if you stand firm in the ,lord4   
#c3i;,for what thanksgiving can we      
render to ,god for you for all the joy  

with which we rejoice on your account   
before our ,god1 #c3aj;desiring         
exceedingly1 night and day1 to see your 
face1 and to perfect what is lacking of 
your faith8  #i #c3aa;,and may ,god     
himself1 even our ,father1 and our ,lord
 ,jesus direct our way to you2 #c3ab;and
 the ,lord cause you to be full and     
abound with love one to another and to  
all men1 as we also to you1 #c3acto     
confirm your hearts without blame in    
holiness before ,god1 even our ,father1

beseech and exhort you by the ,lord     
,jesus1 as you have received from us how
 you ought to walk and please ,god1 that
 you abound still more4 #d3b;,for you   
know what commandments we gave you by   
the ,lord ,jesus4 #d3c;,for this is the 
will of ,god1 your purity1 that you     

should abstain from fornication1        
#d3dthat each one should know how to    
have his wife in purity and honor1      
#d3enot with inordinate desires like the
 gentiles who know not ,god1 #d3fthat he
 should not go beyond and defraud his   
brother in the matter1 because the ,lord
 is a punisher of all these1 as we also 
told you before and fully testified4    
#d3g;,for ,god has not called us to     
impurity1 but to purity4 #d3h;,he       
therefore that despises1 despises not   
man1 but ,god1 who also gives us his    
,holy ,spirit4  #b #d3i;,but concerning 
brotherly love1 you have no need that ,i
 should write to you2 for you are taught
 by ,god to love one another2 #d3aj;for 
you also do the same to all the brothers
 in all ,macedonia4 ,but we exhort you1 
brothers1 to abound still more1         
#d3aa;and strive to be quiet and pursue 
your own business1 and work with your   
hands1 as we charged you1 #d3abthat you 
may walk becomingly towards those       
without and have need of nothing4  #c   

#d3ac;,and we wish you not to be        
ignorant1 brothers1 concerning those    
that have fallen asleep1 that you may   
not grieve as others who have no hope4  
#d3ad ,for if we believe that ,jesus    
died and rose again1 so also will ,god  
bring with him those that have fallen   
asleep on account of ,jesus4 #d3ae;,for 
we tell you this by the word of the     
,lord1 that we who live and remain till 
the coming of the ,lord1 shall not      
anticipate those that have fallen       
asleep1 #d3af;for the ,lord himself will
 descend from heaven with a shout1 with 
the voice of an archangel1 and with the 
trumpet of ,god1 and the dead in ,christ
 shall rise first1 #d3ag then we the    
living who remain shall be caught up    
together with them in clouds1 to meet   
the ,lord in the air2 and so we shall be
 always with the ,lord4 #d3ah ,comfort  
one another1 therefore1 with these      
words4  #d #e3a;,but concerning the     
times and season1 brothers1 you have no 
need that ,i should write to you2       

#e3b;for you yourselves know perfectly  
that the day of the ,lord comes like a  
thief in the night4 #e3c,when they say1 
,peace and safety1 then sudden          
destruction comes1 like pain upon a     
woman with child1 and they shall not    
escape4 #e3d;,but you1 brothers1 are not
 in darkness1 that the day should come  
upon you like a thief2 #e3e;for you are 
all children of light1 and children of  
day2 we are not of night nor of         
darkness4  #e #e3f,therefore let us not 
sleep as others1 but let us watch and be
 sober4 #e3g;,for they that sleep sleep 
in the night1 and they that are drunk   
drink in the night2 #e3h;but let us who 
are of day be sober1 putting on a       
cuirass of faith and love1 and for a    
helmet the hope of salvation1 #e3i;for  
,god has not appointed us to wrath1 but 
to obtain salvation by our ,lord ,jesus 
,christ1 #e3aj who died for us1 that1   
whether we wake or sleep1 we may live   
together with him4 #e3aa,wherefore      
exhort one another1 and edify one       

another1 as you also do4  #f #e3ab;,and 
we beseech you1 brothers1 to know those 
who labor among you1 and preside over   
you in the ,lord and admonish you1      
#e3ac;and to esteem them very highly in

 you in the churches of ,god1 of your

glory of his power1 #a3ajwhen he shall  
come to be glorified in his saints and  
to be admired by all that believe in

account you worthy of the calling1 and  

accomplish all the good pleasure of his

together to him1 #b3bthat you be not    
soon shaken in mind1 nor terrified1     
neither by a spirit1 nor by a discourse1
 nor by an epistle as from us1 as though
 the day of the ,lord was at hand4      
#b3c,let no one deceive you in any way1 
for he shall not come unless the        
apostacy comes first1 and the man of sin
 is revealed1 the son of destruction1   
#b3dwho opposes and exalts himself above
 every thing that is called a god or an 
object of worship1 so that he sits in   
the temple of ,god1 showing himself that
 he is ,god4 #b3e;,do you not remember  
that when ,i was with you ,i told you of
 these things8 #b3f;,and now you know   

what hinders him from being revealed in 
his time4 #b3g;,for the mystery of      
wickedness already works1 ,god only     
restrains it just now1 till it shall be 
out of the way2 #b3h;and then shall the 
wicked one be revealed1 whom the ,lord  
will consume with the breath of his     
mouth and destroy with the brightness of
 his coming1 #b3iwhose coming is        
according to the power of ,satan1 with  
all power and miracles and false        
prodigies #b3aj;and with every          
unrighteous deceit among those who are  
destroyed1 because they received not the
 love of the truth that they might be   
saved4 #b3aa;,and therefore1 ,god sends 
them a power of delusion that they      
should believe a lie1 #b3abthat they all
 may be condemned who believe not the   
truth but have pleasure in wickedness4  
#d #b3ac;,but we ought to thank ,god    
always for you1 brothers beloved by the 
,lord1 because ,god from the beginning  
chose you to salvation by purification  
of spirit1 and belief of the truth1     

#b3adto which he called you by our      
gospel1 to obtain the glory of our ,lord
 ,jesus ,christ4 #b3ae,therefore1

traditions which you have been taught1  
whether by word or by our epistle2

himself1 and our ,god and ,father1 who

be glorified1 as also with you1 #c3b;and
 that we may be delivered from          
unreasonable and wicked men2 for all    
have not faith4 #c3c;,but the ,lord is  
faithful1 who will confirm you1 and     
guard you from evil4 #c3d;,and we trust 
in the ,lord with respect to you1 that  
you both do and will do what we direct4

hearts in the love of ,god1 and in the  
patience of ,christ4  #f #c3f;,and we   

charge you1 brothers1 in the name of our
 ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 to withdraw from 
every brother who walks disorderly and  
not according to the tradition which you
 received from us4  #c3g;,for you know  
yourselves how you ought to follow us1  
for we walked not disorderly among you1 
#c3hneither did we eat bread of any one 
for nought1 but worked with labor and   
fatigue1 night and day1 not to be       
burdensome to any of you2 #c3inot that  
we have not a right to a support1 but   
that we may make ourselves an example   
for you to follow us4 #c3aj;,for when we
 were with you1 we gave you this charge1
 that if any one will not work1 neither 
let him eat4 #c3aa;,for we hear that    
some go about among you in a disorderly 
manner1 not working1 but being above    
work2 #c3abwe charge and exhort such1 by
 our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 to work      
quietly1 and eat their own bread4

well doing4 #c3ad;,but if any one obeys 
not our word by this epistle1 mark that 

one1 and have no association with him1

wonder that you have so quickly turned  
away from him that called you in the    
grace of ,christ to another gospel1     
#a3gwhich is not another2 but there are 
some who disturb you and wish to subvert
 the gospel of ,christ4 #a3h;,but if we 
or an angel from heaven preach you      
another gospel contrary to what we have 
preached you let him be accursed4       
#a3i;,as we said before ,i now also say 
again1 ,if any one preaches you a gospel
 contrary to what you have received let 
him be accursed4 #a3aj;,for do ,i now   
obey man1 or ,god8 or do ,i seek to     
please men8 ,for if ,i yet pleased men1 
,i could not have been a servant of     
,christ4  #c #a3aa;,for ,i certify you1 
brothers1 of the gospel preached by me1 
that it is not according to man2        
#a3ab;for ,i neither received it from   
man nor was ,i taught it1 but by a      
revelation of ,jesus ,christ4 #a3ac;,for
 you heard of my conduct formerly in    

,judaism1 that ,i greatly persecuted the
 church of ,god and destroyed it2       
#a3ad;and was a proficient in ,judaism  
beyond many of my age among my people1  
being more exceedingly zealous for the  
traditions of my fathers4 #a3ae ,but    
when ,god who gave me being and called  
me by his grace1 #a3afwas pleased to    
reveal his ,son in me1 that ,i might    
preach him among the gentiles1          
immediately ,i conferred not with flesh 
and blood1 #a3agneither did ,i go to    
,jerusalem to those who were apostles   
before me1 but ,i went to ,arabia and   
returned again to ,damascus4  #d        
#a3ah,then after three years ,i went up 
to ,jerusalem to visit ,cephas1 and     
staid with him fifteen days2 #a3ai;and  
,i saw no other of the apostles except  
,james1 the ,lord's brother4 #a3bj;,and 
what ,i write to you1 behold1 before    
,god1 ,i lie not4  #e #a3ba,then ,i went
 into the regions of ,syria and         
,cilicia4  #a3bb;,but ,i was unknown by 
face to the churches of ,christ in      

,judea1 #a3bconly they heard that he who
 persecuted us formerly1 now preached   
the faith which he formerly destroyed2  
#a3bd;and they glorified ,god in me4  #f
 #b3a,then after fourteen years ,i went 
up again to ,jerusalem with ,barnabas1  
taking also ,titus2 #b3b;and ,i went up 
by a revelation1 and proposed to them   
the gospel which ,i preach to the       
gentiles1 but privately to persons of   
distinction1 lest ,i should run or had  
run in vain4 #b3c;,but ,titus who was   
with me1 and was a ,greek1 was not      
compelled to be circumcised2 #b3d;but on
 account of false brothers brought in   
secretly to act as spies against our    
liberty which we have in ,christ ,jesus1
 to bring us into servitude1 #b3ewe did 
not yield to them by subjection1 for an 
hour1 that the truth of the gospel might
 continue with you4  #b3f;,but from     
those of distinction1 whatever they were
 it makes no difference to me1--,god is 
partial to no man1--for those of        
distinction added nothing to me1        

#b3g;but on the contrary seeing that ,i 
was intrusted with the gospel of the    
uncircumcision1 as ,peter was of the    
circumcision1-- #b3h;for he that        
operated in ,peter for the apostleship  
of the circumcision1 operated also in me
 for the gentiles1-- #b3i;and knowing   
the grace given me1 ,james and ,cephas  
and ,john1 who were manifest pillars1   
gave to me and ,barnabas the right hand 
of fellowship that we should go to the  
gentiles and they to the circumcision2  
#b3ajonly they wished that we should    
remember the poor1 which ,i was also    
forward to do4  #g #b3aa;,but when      
,peter came to ,antioch ,i opposed him  
to his face1 because he was to blame4   
#b3ab;,for before some came from ,james 
he eat with the gentiles2 but when they 
came1 he withdrew and separated himself2
 fearing those of the circumcision2     
#b3ac;and the other ,jews also          
dissembled with him1 so that ,barnabas  
was carried away with their             
dissimulation4 #b3ad;,but when ,i saw   

that they walked not correctly1         
according to the truth of the gospel1 ,i
 said to ,peter before all1 ,if you     
being a ,jew live after the manner of   
the gentiles1 and not after the manner  
of the ,jews1 why do you compel the     
gentiles to practise ,judaism8          
#b3ae;,for we ,jews by race and not     
sinners of the gentiles1 #b3af knowing  
that a man is not justified by works of 
the law but by the faith of ,jesus      
,christ1 we also have believed in ,jesus
 ,christ1 that we may be justified by   
faith and not by works of the law1      
because by works of the law shall no    
flesh be justified4 #b3ag;,but if       
seeking to be justified by ,christ we   
are found to be ourselves also sinners1 
is ,christ then a minister of sin8 ,by  
no means4  #b3ah ,for if ,i build up    
again what ,i have destroyed1 ,i make   
myself a transgressor4 #b3ai;,for by a  
law ,i have died to the law1 that ,i may
 live to ,god4 #b3bj;,i am crucified    
with ,christ2 and ,i no longer live     

myself1 but ,christ lives in me2 and the
 present life which ,i live in the      
flesh1 ,i live by the faith of the ,son 
of ,god1 who loved me and gave himself  
for me4 #b3ba;,i do not reject the grace
 of ,god2 for if rightousness is through
 the law1 then ,christ died for nothing4

in vain8 if indeed also it is in vain4  
#c3e;,he then that imparts to you the   
,spirit1 and exercises miraculous powers
 among you1 does he do it by works of   
the law1 or by the doctrine of faith8   
#c3f ,as ,abraham believed ,god and it  
was accounted to him a righteousness4   

#b #c3g,know1 therefore1 that those of  
faith1 these are children of ,abraham4  
#c3h;,and the ,scripture foreseeing that
 ,god would justify the nations by      
faith1 promised before to ,abraham1 ,in 
you shall all the nations be blessed4   
#c3i,those of faith1 therefore1 are     
blessed with believing ,abraham4        
#c3aj;,for as many as are of works of   
the law are under a curse2 for it is    
written1 ,cursed is every one that      
continues not in all things written in  
the book of the law to do them4         
#c3aa;,and it is evident that no one is 
justified by the law before ,god1       
because the just shall live by faith1   
#c3ab;but the law is not of faith1 but  
he that does these things shall live by 
them4 #c3ac;,christ redeemed us from the
 curse of the law1 having become a curse
 for us1 for it is written1 ,cursed is  
every one that hangs on a tree1         
#c3adthat the blessing of ,abraham may  
come on the nations1 in ,christ ,jesus1 
that we may receive the promise of the  

,spirit through the faith4  #c          
#c3ae;,brothers1 ,i speak according to  
man4 ,but no one abolishes a man's      
covenant when it is established1 or     
makes additions to it4 #c3af,the        
promises were spoken to ,abraham and his
 offspring4  ,he said not1 ,and to      
offsprings1 as of many1 but as of one1  
,and to your offspring1 which is        
,christ4 #c3ag;,and this ,i say2 that   
the law which was four hundred and      
thirty years after1 cannot abrogate the 
covenant previously established by ,god1
 to make the promise of no effect4      
#c3ah;,for if the inheritance is by the 
law1 it is no longer by the promise4    
,but ,god gave it to ,abraham by the    
promise4 #c3ai,what then8 ,the law was  
added on account of transgressions1 till
 the offspring should come to which the 
promise was made1 being appointed by    
angels by the hand of a mediator4       
#c3bj;,but there is no mediator of one2 
but ,god is one4  #d #c3ba;,is the law  
then against the promises of ,god8 ,by  

no means4  ,for if a law had been given1
 able to give life1 righteousness would 
really have been by the law2 #c3bb;but  
the ,scripture has shut up all under    
sin1 that the promise of the faith of   
,jesus ,christ may be given to them that
 believe4 #c3bc;,but before the faith   
came1 we were kept shut up under the law
 for the faith to be revealed4 #c3bd,so 
that the law was our schoolmaster to    
lead to ,christ1 that we might be       
justified by faith2 #c3be;but the faith 
having come1 we are no longer under a   
schoolmaster4  #c3bf;,for you are all   
children of ,god by the faith in ,jesus 
,christ2 #c3bg;for as many of you as are
 baptized in ,christ1 have put on       
,christ4 #c3bh,there is neither ,jew nor
 ,greek1 there is neither servant nor   
freeman1 there is neither male nor      
female2 for you are all one in ,christ  
,jesus4 #c3bi ,and if you are of        
,christ1 then are you ,abraham's        
children and heirs according to the     
promise4  #e #d3a;,but ,i say1 that as  

long as the heir is a child1 he differs 
not from a servant1 though he is lord of
 all1 #d3b;but is under tutors and      
stewards till the time appointed by the 
father4  #d3c,so also we1 when we were  
children1 were in servitude under the   
rudiments of the world2 #d3d;but when   
the fullness of time came1 ,god sent    
forth his ,son1 born of a woman1 born   
under the law1 #d3e that he might redeem
 those under the law1 that we might     
receive the adoption of sons4 #d3f;,and 
because you are sons1 ,god has sent     
forth the ,spirit of his ,son into your 
hearts1 crying1 ,abba1 ,father4 #d3g,so 
that you are no longer a servant1 but a 
son2 and if a son1 also an heir of ,god4
  #f #d3h;,but formerly1 not knowing    
,god you served beings which are not    
really ,gods2 #d3i;but now knowing ,god1
 or rather being known by ,god1 how do  
you turn again to the weak and imperfect
 rudiments1 which you wish again to     
serve8 #d3aj ,do you observe days1 and  
months1 and times1 and years8 #d3aa;,i  

am afraid of you1 lest ,i have expended 
labor on you in vain4  #g #d3ab;,i      
beseech you1 brothers1 be as ,i am1 for 
,i am as you ought to be4 ,you did not  
injure me2 #d3ac;but you knew ,i        
preached the gospel to you on my former 
visit in weakness of the flesh1         
#d3ad;and my trial in my flesh you      
despised not nor rejected1 but received 
me as an angel of ,god1 as ,christ      
,jesus4  #d3ae ,what then was your      
blessedness8 ,for ,i bear you witness   
that1 if possible1 you would have dug   
out your eyes and have given them to me4
 #d3af;,have ,i therefore become your   
enemy1 by telling you the truth8        
#d3ag,they are zealous for you1 but not 
well1 but they wish to exclude you that 
you may be zealous for them4 #d3ah;,it  
is good to be zealous for a good object 
always1 and not only when ,i am present 
with you4 #d3ai,my little children1 with
 whom ,i am again in pain till ,christ  
is formed in you1 #d3bj;,i wish to be   
present with you now and change my voice

 with you1 for ,i am in doubt of you4   
#h #d3ba,tell me1 you that wish to be   
under the law1 do you not hear the law8 
#d3bb;,for it is written1 that ,abraham 
had two sons1 one by a servant woman1   
and the other by a free woman4          
#d3bc;,but he by the servant woman was  
born of the flesh1 and he by the free   
woman1 by the promise4 #d3bd,these      
things are allegorical1 for those women 
are two covenants1 one from ,mount      
,sinai1 bearing children for servitude1 
which is ,hagar2 #d3be;for ,hagar is    
,mount ,sinai in ,arabia2 and the       
present ,jerusalem answers to her1 for  
she is in servitude with her children4  
#d3bf;,but the ,jerusalem above is free1
 which is the mother of us2 #d3bg;for it
 is written1 ,rejoice1 barren woman1    
that did not bear1 break forth and cry1 
woman that had no pain1 for the children
 of the desolate are more numerous than 
those of her who had a husband4         
#d3bh;,but we1 brothers1 like ,isaac1   
are children of the promise4 #d3bi;,but 

as then he that was born of the flesh   
persecuted him that was born of the     
,spirit1 so also now4 #d3cj;,but what   
says the ,scripture8 ,cast out the      
servant-woman and her son2 for the son  
of the servant woman shall not be an    
heir1 with the son of the free4         
#d3ca,wherefore1 brothers1 we are not   
children of the servant woman1 but of   
the free4    ,,chapter ,,iii4  ,,moral  
,,duties4  #a #e3a,,stand firm in the   
liberty with which ,christ has made you 
free1 and be not again subject to a yoke
 of servitude4  #e3b;,behold1 ,i ,paul  
tell you1 that if you are circumcised   
,christ will not profit you4 #e3c;,for  
,i testify again to every man that is   
circumcised1 that he is bound to perform
 the whole law4 #e3d ,you have departed 
from ,christ1 whoever of you are        
justified by the law1 you have fallen   
from the grace4 #e3e;,for we wait in    
spirit for the hope of righteousness1 by
 faith4 #e3f;,for in ,christ ,jesus     
neither circumcision avails any thing   

nor uncircumcision1 but faith which     
works by love4  #b #e3g,you ran well2   
who hindered you from obeying the truth8
 #e3h,this persuasion is not of him that
 calls you4 #e3i;,a little leaven       
leavens the whole mass4 #e3aj;,i have   
confidence in you1 in the ,lord1 that   
you will not be of another mind2 but he 
that troubles you shall bear his sin1   
whoever he is4 #e3aa ,and ,i1 brothers1 
if ,i preach circumcision1 why am ,i yet
 persecuted8 ,then has the offense of   
the cross ceased4 #e3ab;,i would that   
they were cut off that disturb you4     
#e3ac;,for you are called to liberty1   
brothers1 only make not your liberty an 
occasion for the flesh1 but by love     
serve one another4 #e3ad;,for all the   
law is fully contained in one precept2  
you shall love your neighbor as         
yourself4 #e3ae;,but if you bite and    
devour one another1 see that you be not 
consumed one by another4  #c #e3af;,and 
,i say1 walk in the ,spirit and perform 
not the desire of the flesh4 #e3ag;,for 

the flesh desires against the ,spirit1  
and the ,spirit against the flesh2 and  
these are opposed one to another1 so    
that you do not what you wish4          
#e3ah;,but if you are led by the        
,spirit1 you are not under the law4     
#e3ai;,for the works of the flesh are   
manifest1 which are1 fornication1       
impurity1 lewdness1 #e3bj;idolatry1     
magic1 enmities1 strife1 envy1 anger1   
contentions1 dissensions1 heresies1     
#e3bamurders1 drunkenness1 revellings   
and the like1 of which ,i tell you      
before1 as ,i have also previously told 
you1 that those who do such things shall
 not inherit the kingdom of ,god4       
#e3bb;,but the fruit of the ,spirit is  
love1 joy1 peace1 long suffering1       
kindness1 goodness1 faith1              
#e3bcmeekness1 temperance2 against such 
there is no law4  #e3bd;,and the        
subjects of ,christ ,jesus have         
crucified the flesh with its affections 
and desires4 #e3be;,if we live in the   
,spirit1 let us also walk in the        

,spirit4 #e3bf,let us not be desirous of
 vain glory1 provoking one another1     
envying one another4  #d #f3a;,brothers1
 if a man is overtaken with any fault1  
do you that are spiritual restore such a
 one with a spirit of meekness1         
considering yourself2 lest you also be  
tried4 #f3b;,bear one another's burdens1
 and so perform the law of ,christ4     
#f3c;,for if any one thinks he is       
something1 when he is nothing1 he       
deceives himself4 #f3d;,but let each one
 prove his work1 and then shall he have 
joy in himself alone and not in another1
 #f3e;for every one shall bear his own  
burden4  #e #f3f,let him that is taught 
the word communicate with him that      
teaches of all good things4 #f3g;,be not
 deceived1 ,god is not mocked4 ,for what
 a man sows1 that shall he also reap2   
#f3h;for he that sows for his flesh1    
shall of the flesh reap destruction2 but
 he that sows for the ,spirit1 shall of 
the ,spirit reap life eternal4 #f3i,let 
us not be weary of well doing2 for in   

due season we shall reap if we faint    
not4 #f3aj;,as we have opportunity1     
therefore1 let us do good to all1 but   
especially to the members of the family 
of the faith4  #f #f3aa,you see with how
 long a letter ,i have written to you4  
#f3ab,those who wish to make a fair     
appearance in the flesh compel you to be
 circumcised1 only that they may not be 
persecuted for the cross of ,christ4    
#f3ac;,for the circumcised themselves do
 not keep the law1 but they wish you to 
be circumcised that they may glory in   
your flesh4 #f3ad;,but far be it from me
 to glory1 except in the cross of our   
,lord ,jesus ,christ1 by whom the world 
is crucified to me and ,i to the world4 
#f3ae;,for in ,christ ,jesus neither is 
circumcision any thing1 nor             
uncircumcision1 but a new creation4     
#f3af;,and whoever walk by this rule1   
peace and mercy be on them1 and on the  
,israel of ,god4  #g #f3ag;,finally1 let
 no man trouble me2 for ,i bear in my

same thing1 and that there be no        
divisions among you1 but that you be    
perfected in the same mind and the same 
will4 #a3aa;,for ,i have been informed  
of you1 my brothers1 by the family of   
,chloe1 that there are contentions among
 you4 #a3ab;,i mean this2 that each one 
of you says ,i indeed am of ,paul1 and  
,i of ,apollos1 and ,i of ,cephas1 and  
,i of ,christ4  #a3ac;,is ,christ       
divided8 ,was ,paul crucified for you8  
or were you baptized in the name of

none of you1 except ,crispus and ,gaius2
 #a3aethat no one may say that ,i       
baptized in my name4 #a3af;,and ,i also 

baptized the family of ,stephanus2      
besides ,i do not know that ,i baptized 
any other4  #a3ag;,for ,christ sent me  
not to baptize but to preach the good   
news1 not with a wisdom of speech lest  
the cross of ,christ should be without  
effect4 #a3ah;,for the word of the cross
 is to the lost foolishness1 but to the 
saved the power of ,god4 #a3ai;,for it  
is written1 ,i will destroy the wisdom  
of the wise1 and will bring to nothing  
the understanding of the intelligent4   
#a3bj,where is the wise8 where the      
scribe8 where the disputer of this life8
 ,has not ,god made foolish the wisdom  
of the world8 #a3ba;,for since1 in the  
wisdom of ,god1 the world by wisdom knew
 not ,god1 ,god was pleased by the      
foolishness of preaching to save those  
that believe2 #a3bb;and since the ,jews 
seek signs1 and the ,greeks seek wisdom1
 #a3bcwe preach ,christ crucified1 to   
the ,jews indeed an offense1 and to the 
gentiles foolishness1 #a3bd;but to the  
called1 both ,jews and ,greeks1 ,christ 

the power of ,god and wisdom of ,god2   
#a3be;for the foolishness of ,god is    
wiser than men1 and the weakness of ,god
 is stronger than men4 #a3bf;,for you   
see your calling1 brothers1 that not    
many wise according to the flesh1 not   
many mighty1 not many noble are called2 
#a3bg;but ,god has chosen the foolish   
things of the world to confound the     
wise1 and the weak things of the world  
has ,god chosen to put to shame the     
mighty1 #a3bh;and the ignoble things of 
the world and things that are despised  
has ,god chosen1 and things that are    
not1 to destroy things that are1        
#a3bithat no flesh may glory in the     
sight of ,god4 #a3cj;,but you are of him

glories1 let him glory in the ,lord4  #d
 #b3a;,and when ,i came to you1         
brothers1 ,i came not with excellency of
 speech1 or wisdom1 declaring to you the

 mystery of ,god4 #b3b;,for ,i          
determined to know nothing among you    
except ,jesus ,christ and him crucified4
 #b3c;,and ,i was with you in weakness1 
and with fear and with much trembling1  
#b3d;and my speech and my preaching were
 not with persuasive words of wisdom1   
but with a demonstration of the spirit  
and power1 #b3ethat your faith might not
 be in the wisdom of men but in the     
power of ,god4  #e #b3f;,but we speak   
wisdom among the perfect1 but not the   
wisdom of this life1 nor of the rulers  
of this life1 who are destroyed2        
#b3g;but we speak a wisdom of ,god hid  
in mystery1 which ,god appointed from   
eternity for our glory1 #b3h which none 
of the rulers of this life knew1 for if 
they had known they would not have      
crucified the ,lord of glory2 #b3i;but  
as it is written1 ,an eye has not seen1 
an ear has not heard1 neither have      
entered into the heart of man the things
 which ,god has prepared for those that 
love him2 #b3aj;but ,god has revealed   

them to us by his ,spirit4  ,for the    
,spirit searches all things1 even the   
depths of ,god4  #b3aa;,for who knows   
the things of man1 except the spirit of 
man which is in him8 ,so also no one    
knows the things of ,god except the     
,spirit of ,god4 #b3ab;,and we have     
received not the spirit of the world1   
but the ,spirit which is of ,god1 that  
we may know the things given us by ,god1
 #b3acwhich we also speak1 not in words 
taught by human wisdom1 but in those    
taught by the ,spirit1 comparing        
spiritual things with spiritual4        
#b3ad;,but the natural man receives not 
the things of the ,spirit of ,god1 for  
they are foolishness to him1 and he     
cannot know them1 for they are          
spiritually discerned4 #b3ae;,but the   
spiritual man discerns all things1 and  
is himself perceived by no one4 #b3af   
,for who has known the mind of the      
,lord1 who shall instruct him8 ,but we  
have the mind of ,christ4  #f #c3a;,and 
,i1 brothers1 was not able to speak to  

you as spiritual1 but as carnal1 as     
babes in ,christ4 #c3b;,i have fed you  
milk1 not solid food2 for you were not  
yet able2 but you are not able even now2
 #c3c;for you are yet carnal4 ,for when 
there is envy and strife among you are  
you not carnal and walk as men8         
#c3d;,for when one says1 ,i am of ,paul1
 and another1 ,i1 of ,apollos1 are you  
not men8 #c3e,who then is ,apollos8 and 
who is ,paul8 but ministers by whom you 
believed1 and to each as the ,lord gave4
  #c3f;,i planted1 ,apollos watered1 but
 ,god caused the seed to grow2 #c3gso   
neither is he that plants any thing1 nor
 he that waters1 but ,god that causes it
 to grow4 #c3h;,he that plants and he   
that waters are one2 and each shall     
receive his reward according to his     
labor4 #c3i ,for we are ,god's          
co-laborers2 you are ,god's field1      
,god's building4  #g #c3aj;,according to
 the grace of ,god given me as a wise   
architect ,i have laid a foundation1 and
 another builds on it4 ,but let each one

 see how he builds on it4 #c3aa;,for no 
one can lay another foundation besides  
that laid1 which is ,christ ,jesus4     
#c3ab;,and if any man builds on this    
foundation1 gold1 silver1 precious      
stones1 wood1 grass1 reeds1 #c3ac;each  
one's work shall be manifest2 for the   
day shall show it1 because it shall be  
revealed by fire1 and the same fire     
shall try every man's work what it is4  
#c3ad;,if any one's work continues which
 he has built1 he shall receive a       
reward2 #c3ae;if any one's work is      
consumed1 he shall suffer loss1 and he  
shall be saved1 but so as by fire4  #h  
#c3af,know you not that you are a temple
 of ,god and the ,spirit of ,god dwells 
in you8 #c3ag;,if any one destroys the  
temple of ,god1 him shall ,god destroy2 
for the temple of ,god which you are is 
holy4 #c3ah,let no one deceive himself2 
if any one seems to be wise among you in
 this life1 let him be a fool1 that he  
may be wise4 #c3ai;,for the wisdom of   
this world is foolishness with ,god4    

,for it is written2 ,he takes the wise  
in their craftiness4  #c3bj;,and again2 
,the ,lord knows the thoughts of the    
wise that they are vain4 #c3ba,let no   
one therefore glory in men2 for all     
things are yours1 #c3bbwhether ,paul1 or
 ,apollos1 or ,cephas1 or the world1 or 
life1 or death1 or things present1 or   
things to come1 all are yours1 #c3bc;and
 you ,christ's1 and ,christ ,god's4  #i 
#d3a,let a man so regard us as servants 
of ,christ and stewards of the mysteries
 of ,god4 #d3b;,but1 moreover1 it is    
required of stewards that one should be 
found faithful4 #d3c;,but it is of      
little account to me that ,i should be  
judged by you or by man's day judgment2 
but ,i judge not myself2 #d3d;for ,i am 
not conscious to myself of wrong1 but ,i
 am not on this account justified2 but  
he that judges me is the ,lord4         
#d3e;,judge nothing therefore before the
 time1 till the ,lord comes1 who will   
both bring to light the hidden deeds of 
darkness1 and make known the purposes of

 the hearts2 and then shall each one    
have praise from ,god4  #aj #d3f;,i have
 applied these things figuratively1     
brothers1 to myself and ,apollos on your
 account1 that you may learn by us not  
to go beyond what is written1 that you  
may not be puffed up for one against    
another4 #d3g;,for who made you to      
differ8 ,and what have you that you did 
not receive8 ,and if you received1 why  
do you boast as one that receives not8  
#d3h,you are already full1 you are      
already enriched2 you have reigned

 be so4 #g3bg;,are you bound to a wife1 
seek not a release2 are you released    
from a wife1 seek not a wife4 #g3bh;,but
 if you marry1 you do not sin and if the
 virgin marries she does not sin4 ,but  
such will have affliction in the flesh2 

but ,i spare you4  #g3bi;,but this ,i   
say1 brothers1 the time is short1 so    
that in future those who have wives     
should be as those not having them1

weeping1 and those who rejoice as those

fashion of this world passes away4 #g3cb

,the unmarried man cares for the things 
of the ,lord1 how he shall please the   
,lord2 #g3cc;but he that is married     
cares for the things of the world1 how  
he shall please the wife4 #g3cd;,and the
 wife and the virgin are different2 the 
unmarried woman cares for the things of 
the ,lord1 that she may be holy in body

cares for the things of the world1 how  
she shall please the husband4

profit2 not to impose a snare on you1

behaves improperly to his virgin1 if she
 is past her prime1 and it must be so1  
let him do what he wishes2 he does not  
sin2 let them marry4 #g3cg;,but he that 
stands firm in mind1 not having a

his virgin1 does well4 #g3ch;,he that   
gives in marriage therefore does well1

better4  #g #g3ci;,a woman is bound as

,lord4 #g3dj ,but she is happier if she 
continues thus1 in my opinion1 and ,i

to idols we all have knowledge4

 to know2 #h3c;but if any one loves     

,god1 this man is known by him4         
#h3d;,concerning eating things offered  
to idols1 we know that an idol is       
nothing in the world1 and that there is 
no other ,god but one4 #h3e;,for even if
 there are those called ,gods1 whether  
in heaven or on earth1 as there are many
 gods and many lords1 #h3fyet to us     
there is one ,god the ,father1 of whom  
are all things1 and we in him1 and one  
,lord ,jesus ,christ1 through whom are  
all things and we through him4 #h3g;,but
 all have not this knowledge2 and some  
with the conscience unenlightened even  
till now eat an idol's sacrifice as an  
idol's sacrifice1 and their conscience  
being weak is defiled4 #h3h;,but food   
does not commend us to ,god2 for neither
 if we eat not are we worse1 nor if we  
eat are we better4 #h3i;,but beware lest
 your liberty should become an offense  
to the weak4 #h3aj;,for if any one sees 
you who have knowledge reclining in an  
idol's temple1 will not the conscience  
of him that is weak be emboldened to eat

 things offered to idols8  #h3aa;,and   
will not the weak brother for whom      
,christ died perish by your knowledge8  
#h3ab;,but when you thus sin against the

#aa3aa;,but neither is woman without    
man1 nor man without woman in the ,lord2
 #aa3ab;for as the woman is of the man1 
so also the man is through the woman1   
but all things are from ,god4           
#aa3ac;,judge of yourselves2 is it      
becoming that a woman should pray to    

,god unveiled8 #aa3ad ,does not nature  
herself teach you that if a man wears   
long hair it is a disgrace to him8      
#aa3ae;but if a woman wears long hair it
 is her glory2 for the hair is given her
 for a covering4 #aa3af;,but if any one 
is disposed to be contentious1 we have  
no such custom neither have the churches
 of ,god4  #c #aa3ag;,but ,i tell you   
this1 not to praise you1 that you come  
together not for the better but for the 
worse4 #aa3ah;,for first1 when you come 
together in an assembly1 ,i hear that   
there are divisions among you1 and some 
part of it ,i believe4 #aa3ai;,for it is
 necessary that there should be heresies
 among you1 that the approved may be    
manifest among you4 #aa3bj,when you come
 together therefore1 it is not to eat   
the ,lord's supper1 #aa3ba;for each one 
in eating takes his supper before the   
rest1 and one is hungry and another     
drunk4 #aa3bb ,have you not food to eat 
and drink at your houses8 or do you     
despise the church of ,god1 and shame   

those who have not houses8 ,what shall  
,i say to you8 ,shall ,i commend you8   
,in this ,i commend you not4  #d        
#aa3bc;,for ,i received of the ,lord1   
what ,i also delivered to you2 that on  
the night in which he was betrayed1 the 
,lord ,jesus took bread #aa3bd;and      
giving thanks broke1 and said1 ,this is 
my body1 which is for you2 this do in   
remembrance of me4 #aa3be;,in like      
manner also the cup1 after supper1      
saying1 ,this cup is the new covenant   
sealed with my blood2 this do1 as often 
as you drink1 in remembrance of me4     
#aa3bf;,for as often as you eat this    
bread and drink this cup1 you declare   
the ,lord's death till he comes4        
#aa3bg,so that whoever eats this bread  
or drinks this cup of the ,lord         
unworthily1 is guilty of the body and   
blood of the ,lord4 #aa3bh;,but let a   
man prove himself1 and so let him eat of
 the bread and drink of the cup2        
#aa3bi;for he eats and drinks judgment  
to himself1 who eats and drinks not     

discerning the body4  #e #aa3cj;,for    
this reason many are weak and sick among
 you and some sleep4 #aa3ca;,for if we  
judged ourselves we should not be       
judged2 #aa3cb;but being judged1 we are 
chastened by the ,lord1 that we may not 
be condemned with the world4            
#aa3cc,therefore1 my brothers1 when you 
come together to eat1 wait one for      
another4  #aa3cd;,if any one is hungry  
let him eat at home1 that you come not  
together for judgment4 ,the other things
 ,i will arrange when ,i come4          
,,chapter ,,vi4  ,,spiritual ,,gifts4   
#a #ab3a;,,and ,i wish you not to be    
ignorant1 brothers1 of the spiritual    
gifts4 #ab3b,you know that when you were
 gentiles1 you followed dumb idols as   
you were led4 #ab3c;,i assure you1      
therefore1 that no one speaking by the  
,spirit of ,god calls ,jesus an accursed
 thing1 and no one can call ,jesus      
,lord1 except by the ,holy ,spirit4  #b 
#ab3d;,and there are diversities of     
gifts but the same ,spirit2 #ab3e;and   

there are diversities of services and   
the same ,lord2 #ab3f;and there are     
diversities of operations and the same  
,god1 who performs all things in all4   
#ab3g;,but a manifestation of the       
,spirit is given to each one for a      
useful purpose4 #ab3h;,for to one is    
given by the ,spirit a word of wisdom1  
and to another a word of knowledge by   
the same ,spirit1 #ab3i;and to another  
faith by the same ,spirit1 and to       
another gifts of performing cures by the
 same ,spirit1 #ab3aj;and to another the
 performance of mighty works1 and to    
another prophecy1 and to another        
discrimination of spirits1 and to       
another different tongues1 and to       
another an interpretation of tongues2   
#ab3aa;but all these works performs one 
and the same ,spirit1 distributing to   
each in particular as it wills4  #c     
#ab3ab;,for as the body is one and has  
many members1 and all the members of the
 body being many are one body1 so also  
is ,christ2 #ab3ac;for we have all been 

baptized with one ,spirit in one body1  
whether ,jews or ,greeks1 whether       
servants or freemen1 and have all been  
made to drink one ,spirit4 #ab3ad;,for  
the body also is not one member but     
many4 #ab3ae;,if the foot says1 ,because
 ,i am not a hand1 ,i am not of the     
body1 is it therefore not of the body8  
#ab3af;and if the ear says1 ,because ,i 
am not an eye1 ,i am not of the body1 is
 it therefore not of the body8          
#ab3ag;,if the whole body was an eye1   
where would be the hearing8 ,if the     
whole was a hearing1 where would be the 
smelling8 #ab3ah;,but now ,god has      
placed the members each one of them in  
the body1 as he pleased4  #ab3ai;,but if
 all were one member1 where would be the
 body8  #ab3bj;,but now there are many  
members1 but one body4 #ab3ba,the eye   
cannot say to the hand1 ,i have no need 
of you1 or again1 the head to the feet1 
,i have no need of you2 #ab3bb;but much 
more those members of the body which    
seem to be weak are necessary1          

#ab3bc;and those which we esteem to be  
less honorable members of the body1 on  
these we bestow more abundant honor1 and
 our uncomely members have more abundant
 comeliness1 #ab3bd;for our comely ones 
have no need4 ,but ,god has commingled  
the body1 giving more abundant honor to 
that part which was lacking1 #ab3bethat 
there should be no schism in the body1  
but that the members should have the    
same care one for another4 #ab3bf;,and  
if one member suffers1 all the members  
suffer with it2 and if one member is    
glorified1 all the members rejoice with 
it4  #d #ab3bg;,and you are a body of   
,christ1 and members in particular4     
#ab3bh;,and ,god has set some in the    
church1 first apostles1 secondly

not boastful1 is not puffed up1

 it shall pass away4 #ac3i;,and we know 
in part and we prophesy in part2

love1 these three2 but the greatest of  
these is love4  #h #ad3a;,cherish love1 
and be earnestly desirous of spiritual  
gifts1 but rather that you may prophesy4
 #ad3b;,for he that speaks with a tongue
 speaks not to men but to ,god2 for no  
one understands him1 but in spirit he   
speaks mysteries2 #ad3c;but he that     
prophesies speaks to men to edification 
and exhortation and consolation4        

#ad3d;,he that speaks with a tongue     
edifies himself2 but he that prophesies 
edifies an assembly4 #ad3e;,i wish you  
all to speak with tongues1 but rather   
that you should prophesy2 and he that   
prophesies is greater than he that      
speaks with tongues1 unless he          
interprets1 that the assembly may       
receive edification4  #i #ad3f;,but now1
 brothers1 if ,i come to you speaking   
with tongues1 what shall ,i profit you1 
unless ,i speak to you by a revelation1 
or by a knowledge1 or by a prophecy1 or 
by a doctrine8 #ad3g,so of irrational   
objects making a sound1 whether a flute 
or harp2 if it makes no distinction of  
sounds1 how shall it be known what is   
played on the flute or harp8 #ad3h;,for 
also if the trumpet gives an uncertain  
sound1 who will prepare himself for the 
battle8 #ad3i,so also you by a tongue if
 you utter a word not easily understood1
 how shall it be known what is spoken8  
for you will speak to the air4          
#ad3aj,there are perhaps as many kinds  

of voices in the world1 and no one is   
without significance2 #ad3aa;if         
therefore ,i do not know the meaning of 
the voice1 ,i shall be to him that      
speaks a barbarian1 and he that speaks  
will be a barbarian to me4 #ad3ab,so    
also you1 since you are earnestly       
desirous of spirits spiritual gifts1    
seek to abound for the edification of   
the church4 #ad3ac,let him therefore    
that speaks with a tongue pray that he  
may interpret1 #ad3ad;,for if ,i pray   
with a tongue1 my spirit prays1 but my  
understanding is unfruitful4 #ad3ae,what
 then is to be done8 ,i will pray with  
the spirit1 ,i will pray also with the  
understanding2 ,i will sing with the    
spirit1 ,i will sing also with the      
understanding2 #ad3af since if you bless
 with the spirit1 how shall he that     
occupies the place of the unlearned say1
 ,amen1 to your thanksgiving1 since he  
knows not what you say8 #ad3ag;,for you 
indeed give thanks well2 but the other  
is not edified4 #ad3ah;,i thank ,god ,i 

speak with a tongue more than you all2  
#ad3ai;but in an assembly ,i had rather 
speak five words with my understanding1 
that ,i may also teach others1 than ten 
thousand words in a tongue4  #aj        
#ad3bj;,brothers1 be not children in    
understanding1 but in malice be         
children1 and in understanding be       
perfect men4  #ad3ba;,for it is written 
in the law1 ,with other tongues1 and    
with other lips will ,i speak to this   
people1 and so they shall not understand
 me1 says the ,lord4 #ad3bb,tongues     
therefore are a sign1 not for believers 
but for unbelievers1 but prophecy is not
 for unbelievers but for believers4     
#ad3bc;,if1 therefore1 the whole church 
comes together1 and all speak with      
tongues1 and there come in the unlearned
 and unbelieving1 will they not say that
 you are mad8 #ad3bd;,but if all        
prophesy1 and there comes in an         
unbeliever or an unlearned man1 he is   
convinced by all1 he is examined by all1
 #ad3be;and the secrets of his heart are

 made manifest1 and so falling down on  
his face he worships ,god1 declaring    
that ,god is really among you4  #aa     
#ad3bf,what then is to be done brothers8
 ,when you come together1 each one of   
you has a psalm1 has a doctrine1 has a  
revelation1 has an interpretation2 let  
all things be done for edification4     
#ad3bg;,if any one speaks with a tongue1
 let it be by two or at most by three1  
and by turns1 and let one interpret2    
#ad3bh and if there is no interpreter1  
let him be silent in the assembly1 and  
let him speak to himself and to ,god4   
#ad3bi,let two or three prophets speak1 
and let the rest judge2 #ad3cj;but if   
any thing is revealed to another sitting
 by1 let the first be silent4           
#ad3ca;,for you can all prophesy one by 
one1 that all may learn1 and all be     
comforted4 #ad3cb;,and the spirits of   
prophets are subject to the prophets2   
#ad3cc;for ,god is not the friend of    
disorder but of peace4  #ab #ad3cd;,as  
in all the churches of the saints1 let  

your women keep silence in the          
assemblies2 for it is not permitted to  
them to speak1 but to be in subjection1 
as the law also says4  #ad3ce;,but if   
they wish to learn any thing1 let them  
ask their husbands at home2 for it is a 
shame for a woman to speak in an        
assembly4 #ad3cf;,did the word of ,god  
go out from you1 or did it come to you  
alone8  #ac #ad3cg;,if any one thinks he
 is a prophet1 or a spiritual man1 let  
him acknowledge the things which ,i     
write to you1 that they are the ,lord's2
 #ad3ch but if any one is ignorant1 let 
him be ignorant4 #ad3ci,therefore1      
brothers1 desire earnestly to prophesy1 
and forbid not to speak with tongues2

than five hundred brothers at once1 of  
whom the most continue even to the      
present time1 but some have fallen      
asleep4 #ae3g,then he appeared to       
,james1 then to all the apostles1

 there is not a resurrection of the     
dead1 ,christ has not been raised2

 are found also false witnesses of ,god1

that he raised up ,christ1 whom he      
raised not up if indeed the dead are not
 raised4  #ae3af;,for if the dead are   
not raised1 ,christ was not raised2

your faith is vain1 you are yet in your

fruit of those that have slept4

clear that he is excepted who puts all

 its own body4  #ae3ci ,all flesh is not

this destructible must put on           
indestructibleness1 and this mortal must
 put on immortality4  #ae3ed;,and when  
this destructible has put on            
indestructibleness1 and this mortal has

partakers of the sufferings1 so you are 
also of the comfort4  #c #a3h;,for we   
wish you not to be ignorant1 brothers1  
of our affliction which befell us in    
,asia1 that we were exceedingly         
oppressed beyond our power1 so that we  
despaired even of life2 #a3i;but we had 
the sentence of death in ourselves1 that
 we might not trust in ourselves1 but in
 ,god who raises the dead1 #a3ajwho     
delivered us from so great a death and  
will deliver1 in whom we hope that he   
will also still deliver1 #a3aayou also  
striving together for us in prayer1 that
 thanks may be rendered for us by many  
persons for the gift bestowed on us by  

many4  #d #a3ab;,for this is our        
rejoicing2 the testimony of our         
conscience that in purity and godly     
sincerity1 not with a carnal wisdom1 but
 with a divine grace1 we have conducted 
ourselves in the world1 and most        
abundantly towards you4 #a3ac;,for we do
 not write to you of other things1 but  
of what you read and acknowledge2 and ,i
 hope you will also acknowledge to the  
end1 #a3ad;as you have also acknowledged
 us in part1 that we are your rejoicing 
as you also are ours in the day of the  
,lord ,jesus4  #e #a3ae;,and in this    
confidence ,i wished to come to you     
before1 that you might have a second    
benefit1 #a3af;and to pass by you into  
,macedonia1 and to come again from      
,macedonia to you1 and by you to be sent
 forward to ,judea4 #a3ag ,wishing this 
therefore1 did ,i use lightness8 or what
 ,i wish do ,i wish according to the    
flesh1 that with me there may be the    
yes1 yes1 and the no1 no8  #a3ah;,but as
 ,god is faithful1 our word to you was  

not yes and no4  #a3ai;,for ,jesus      
,christ1 the ,son of ,god1 who was      
preached among you by us1 by me and     
,silvanus and ,timothy1 was not yes and 
no1 but was yes in him2 #a3bj;for all   
the promises of ,god1 the yes in him1   
and the ,amen in him1 are for glory to  
,god by us4 #a3ba;,and he that          
establishes us with you in ,christ1 and 
has anointed us1 is ,god1 #a3bb who has 
also sealed us and given us the pledge  
of the ,spirit in our hearts4  #f       
#a3bc;,but ,i call ,god to witness on my
 soul1 that to spare you ,i have not yet
 come to ,corinth4 #a3bd,not that we are
 lords of your faith1 but co-laborers of
 your joy2 for you stand firm by the    
faith4 #b3a;,but ,i determined this with
 myself1 not to come again to you in    
sorrow2 #b3b;for if ,i grieve you1 who  
is he that gladdens me1 but he that is  
grieved by me8 #b3c;,and ,i wrote the   
same to you that coming ,i might not    
have sorrow for those in whom ,i ought  
to have joy1 having trusted in you all  

that my joy is the joy of you all4      
#b3d;,for ,i wrote to you in much       
affliction and distress of mind with    
many tears1 not that you should be      
grieved1 but that you might know the    
love which ,i have abundantly for you4  
#g #b3e;,but if any one has caused      
grief1 he has not grieved me1 but in    
part1 that ,i may not be hard upon you1 
has grieved you all1 #b3f,sufficient for
 such a one is this rebuke by many2     
#b3gso that on the other hand you ought 
to forgive and comfort him1 that he may 
not be overwhelmed with excessive       
sorrow4 #b3h;,i exhort you1 therefore1  
to confirm your love to him2 #b3i;for ,i
 wrote for this purpose1 that ,i might  
know the proof of you1 whether you are  
obedient in all things4 #b3aj;,but whom 
you favor ,i also will favor2 for what  
favor ,i have shown1 if ,i have shown   
any favor1 has been for your sakes1 in  
the presence of ,christ1 #b3aathat we   
may not be circumvented by ,satan2 for  
we are not ignorant of his devices4  #h 

#b3ab;,but when ,i came to ,troas for   
the gospel of ,christ1 and a door was   
opened to me by the ,lord1 #b3ac;,i had 
no rest in my spirit from not finding   
,titus my brother2 but leaving them ,i  
went to ,macedonia4 #b3ad;,but thanks be
 to ,god1 who always triumphs over us in
 ,christ and reveals the odor of his    
knowledge by us in every place2         
#b3ae;for we are a sweet odor of ,christ
 to ,god1 in the saved and in the lost1 
#b3af;in one an odor of death to death1 
and in the other an odor of life to     
life4 ,and who is sufficient for these  
things8 #b3ag;,for we are not as many1  
who adulterate the word of ,god1 for    
gain2 but as of sincerity1 but as of    
,god1 we speak before ,god in ,christ4  
#i #c3a;,do we begin again to commend   
ourselves8 or need we1 as some1         
commendatory epistles to you or from    
you8 #c3b,you are our epistle1 written  
by our hearts1 known and read by all    
men1 #c3c;for you are manifestly an     
epistle of ,christ delivered by us1     

written not with ink but with the       
,spirit of the living ,god1 not on      
tablets of stone but on tablets of      
hearts of flesh4 #c3d;,and we have such 
confidence through ,jesus ,christ in    
,god2 #c3enot that we are sufficient of 
ourselves to reason out any thing as of 
ourselves1 but our sufficiency is of    
,god1 #c3fwho also has made us able     
ministers of the new covenant1 not of   
the writing but of the spirit2 for the  
writing kills1 but the spirit makes     
alive4  #aj #c3g;,but if the ministry of
 death engraved in a writing on stones  
was glorious1 so that the children of   
,israel could not look steadily at the  
face of ,moses on account of the        
brightness of his face1 which passed    
away1 #c3h;how shall not the ministry of
 the spirit be glorious8 #c3i;,for if   
the ministry of condemnation was a      
glory1 much more will the ministry of   
righteousness abound in glory4          
#c3aj;,for that which was made glorious 
was not glorious in this respect1 on    

account of the surpassing glory4        
#c3aa;,for if that which has passed away
 was with glory1 much more will that    
which continues be in glory4  #aa       
#c3ab;,having therefore this hope we use
 great boldness1 #c3ac;and not as ,moses
 put a vail on his face1 that the       
children of ,israel might not see to the
 end of that which has passed away2     
#c3ad;but their minds were blinded4 ,for
 to this day in reading the old covenant
 the same vail remains1 not taken away  
because it is taken away in ,christ2    
#c3ae;but to this day when ,moses is    
read a vail lies upon their minds2      
#c3af;but when they turn to the ,lord   
the vail is taken away4 #c3ag;,and the  
,lord is the ,spirit2 and where the     
,spirit of the ,lord is there is        
liberty4 #c3ah;,and we all with unvailed
 face beholding as in a glass the glory 
of the ,lord1 are transformed into the  
same likeness1 from glory to glory1 as  
by the ,spirit of the ,lord4  #ab       
#d3a,therefore1 having this ministry1 as

 we have obtained mercy we faint not1   
#d3b;but have renounced the hidden      
things of shame1 not walking in         
craftiness nor handling the word of ,god
 deceitfully1 but commending ourselves  
by the manifestation of the truth to    
every conscience of men before ,god4    
#d3c;,but if our gospel is vailed it is 
vailed among the lost1 #d3d;in whom the 
god of this life has blinded the minds  
of the unbelieving1 that the light of   
the gospel of the glory of ,christ1 who 
is the likeness of ,god1 may not shine4 
#d3e;,for we preach not ourselves but   
,christ ,jesus the ,lord1 and ourselves 
your servants for ,jesus' sake4         
#d3f;,for ,god who commanded the light  
to shine out of darkness1 has shone in  
our hearts to give us the light of the  
knowledge of the glory of ,god in the   
face of ,jesus ,christ4  #ac #d3g;,but  
we have this treasure in earthen        
vessels1 that the excellency of the     
power may be of ,god and not of us1     
#d3h;being afflicted in every thing but 

not distressed1 being perplexed but not 
in despair1 #d3i;being persecuted but   
not deserted1 being cast down but not   
destroyed1 #d3aj;always carrying about  
the death of ,jesus in the body1 that   
the life of ,jesus may also be          
manifested in our bodies4 #d3aa;,for we 
who live are always delivered to death  
for ,jesus' sake1 that the life also of 
,jesus may be made manifest in our      
mortal flesh4 #d3ab,so that death works 
in us1 but life in you4 #d3ac;,and      
having the same spirit of faith1        
according as it is written1 ,i believed1
 therefore ,i spoke1 we also believe and
 therefore speak1 #d3adknowing that he  
who raised up the ,lord ,jesus will also
 raise us up with ,jesus1 and present us
 with you4 #d3ae;,for all things are for
 your sakes1 that the abundant grace may
 abound through the thanksgiving of many
 to the glory of ,god4  #ad             
#d3af,wherefore we faint not1 but if our
 outward man is destroyed our inward man
 is renewed day by day4 #d3ag;,for the  

light affliction which is for a moment1 
works out for us more abundantly an     
eternal weight of glory1 #d3ah while we 
look not on the things which are seen   
but on the things which are not seen2   
for the things which are seen are for a 
time1 but those which are unseen are    
eternal4  #ae #e3a;,for we know that if 
our earthly house of this tabernacle was
 destroyed1 we have an edifice from     
,god1 a house not made with hands1      
eternal in the heavens4 #e3b;,for in    
this we also groan1 earnestly desiring  
to put on our dwelling which is from    
heaven1 #e3c;if indeed also having put  
it on we may not be found naked4        
#e3d;,for being in this tabernacle we   
groan1 being burdened1 because we do not
 wish to put it off1 but to put on the  
other1 that the mortal may be swallowed 
up by life4 #e3e;,and he that has made  
us for this is ,god1 who has given us   
the pledge of the ,spirit4 #e3f;,being  
always confident therefore1 and knowing 
that while we are present in the body we

 are absent from the ,lord1-- #e3gwe    
walk by faith1 not by sight2-- #e3h;but 
we are confident1 and are pleased rather
 to be absent from the body and to be   
present with the ,lord4 #e3i ,wherefore 
also we strive1 whether present or      
absent1 to be well pleasing to him4     
#e3aj;,for we must all appear before the
 tribunal of ,christ1 that each one may 
receive through the body for what he has
 done1 whether it is good or evil4  #af 
#e3aa,knowing therefore the fear of the 
,lord we persuade men1 but are made     
manifest to ,god2 and ,i hope also to be
 made manifest in your consciences4     
#e3ab ,for we do not again commend      
ourselves to you1 but give you occasion 
to glory on our account1 that you may   
have something for those that glory in  
appearance and not in heart4 #e3ac;,for 
if we are beside ourselves it is for    
,god2 and if we are sober it is for you4
 #e3ad;,for the love of ,christ         
constrains us1 judging this1 that if one
 died for all then were all dead2       

#e3ae;and he died for all1 that those   
who live should no more live for        
themselves but for him that died for    
them and rose again4 #e3af,so that from 
henceforth we know no man after the     
flesh2 and if we have known ,christ     
after the flesh1 we now know him no     
more4 #e3ag,so that if any one is in    
,christ he is a new creation2 old things
 have passed away1 behold1 all things   
have become new4 #e3ah;,and all things  
are of ,god1 who has reconciled us to   
himself by ,jesus ,christ1 and given us 
the ministry of the reconciliation1     
#e3aito wit1 that ,god was in ,christ   
reconciling the world to himself1 not   
imputing to them their offenses1 and has
 given to us the word of reconciliation4
  #e3bj,we are embassadors therefore for
 ,christ1 as though ,god besought you by
 us2 we pray you1 for ,christ1 be       
reconciled to ,god4 #e3ba;,for he made  
him who knew no sin to be sin for us1   
that we might become ,god's             
righteousness in him4  #ag #f3a;,and    

being also co-laborers we exhort you not
 to receive the grace of ,god in vain1--
 #f3b;for he says1 ,in an acceptable    
time ,i heard you1 and in a day of      
salvation ,i helped you2 behold1 now is 
an acceptable time1 behold1 now is a day
 of salvation1-- #f3c;giving no offense 
in any thing1 that the ministry may not 
be blamed1 #f3d;but in every thing      
commending ourselves as ministers of    
,god1 in great patience1 in afflictions1
 in necessities1 in distresses1 #f3e;in 
stripes1 in imprisonments1 in           
dissensions1 in labors1 in watchings1 in
 fastings1 #f3f;in purity1 in knowledge1
 in long-suffering1 in kindness1 in the 
,holy ,spirit1 in love unfeigned1       
#f3g;in the word of truth1 in the power 
of ,god2 with the arms of righteousness 
on the right hand and on the left1      
#f3hwith honor and dishonor1 with evil  
report and good report2 as deceivers and
 true1 #f3i;as unknown and well-known1  
as dying and behold we live1 as         
chastened and not killed1 #f3aj;as      

grieving but always rejoicing1 as poor  
but making many rich1 as having nothing 
and possessing all things4  #ah         
#f3aa,our mouth is opened to you1       
,corinthians1 our heart is enlarged2    
#f3ab you are not straitened in us1 but 
you are straitened in your own souls2   
#f3ac and now as a return of benefits1  
,i speak as to children1 do you also be 
enlarged4  #ai #f3ad;,be not unequally  
yoked with unbelievers2 for what        
participation has righteousness with    
wickedness8 or what communion has light 
with darkness8 #f3ae and what agreement 
has ,christ with ,beliar1 or what part  
has a believer with an unbeliever8      
#f3af;and what agreement has a temple of
 ,god with idols8 ,for you are a temple 
of the living ,god2 as ,god said1 ,i    
will dwell in them1 and ,i will walk in 
them1 and ,i will be to them a ,god and 
they shall be to me a people4 #f3ag;,go 
out therefore from among them1 and be   
separate1 says the ,lord1 and touch not 
the impure2 and ,i will receive you1    

#f3ah;and will be to you a father1 and  
you shall be to me sons and daughters1  
says the ,lord ,almighty4 #g3a ,having  
therefore these promises1 beloved1 let  
us purify ourselves from every          
defilement of the flesh and spirit1     
perfecting holiness in the fear of ,god4
  #bj #g3b,receive us2 we have injured  
no one1 we have destroyed no one1 we    
have defrauded no one4 #g3c;,i say this 
not to condemn you1 for ,i have said    
before that you are in our hearts both  
to die and live together4 #g3d;,i have  
great boldness towards you1 and great   
glorying on your account2 ,i am full of 
comfort1 ,i have a super-abounding joy  
in all our afflictions4 #g3e;,for when  
we came into ,macedonia our flesh had no
 rest1 but we were distressed on every  
hand2 without were conflicts1 within    
fears2 #g3f;but ,god who comforts the   
humble comforted us by the coming of    
,titus2 #g3g;and not only by his coming 
but also by the comfort with which he   
was comforted on your account1 telling  

us of your great desire1 your deep      
sorrow1 your zeal for me1 so that ,i    
rather rejoiced4 #g3h;,for if ,i even   
grieved you by the epistle1 ,i do not   
repent1 though ,i did repent2 for       
because ,i see that the epistle grieved 
you but for a time1 #g3inow ,i rejoice1 
not that you were grieved1 but that you 
grieved to a change of mind2 for you    
were grieved in a godly manner1 to      
suffer injury from us in nothing4       
#g3aj;,for godly sorrow produces a      
change of mind to salvation not to be   
repented of2 but the sorrow of the world
 produces death4  #g3aa;,for behold1    
this same thing1 that you grieved in a  
godly manner1 how great diligence it    
produced in you1 what a defense1 what   
indignation1 what fear1 what desire1    
what zeal1 what a punishment6 ,in every 
thing you proved yourselves to be clear 
in this matter4  #ba #g3ab;,if therefore
 ,i wrote to you1 it was not on account 
of him that did the wrong1 nor on       
account of him that suffered wrong1 but 

that our diligence in your behalf might 
be manifest before ,god4 #g3ac,on this  
account we were comforted4 ,and in      
addition to our comfort1 we rejoiced    
more abundantly for the joy of ,titus1  
because his spirit was refreshed by you 
all2 #g3ad;for if ,i had boasted of you 
to him ,i was not ashamed1 but as we    
said all things to you in truth1 so also
 the boasting of you to ,titus was      
truth4 #g3ae;,and his affection is more 
abundant for you1 remembering the       
obedience of you all1 how with fear and 
trembling you received him4 #g3af;,i    
rejoice that ,i have confidence in you  
in every thing4    ,,chapter ,,ii4  ,a  
,,contribution ,,solicited ,,for ,,the  
,,saints ,,at ,,jerusalem4  #a          
#h3a;,,and ,i make known to you1        
brothers1 the grace of ,god given to the
 churches of ,macedonia1 #h3bthat in    
much trying affliction the abundance of 
their joy and their deep poverty        
abounded to the riches of their         
liberality4 #h3c;,for according to their

 ability1 ,i testify1 and beyond their  
ability1 of their own accord1 #h3dwith  
much entreaty they desired of us the    
favor of a participation in the service 
to the saints2 #h3e;and not as we hoped1
 but they first gave themselves to the  
,lord and to us by the will of ,god1    
#h3fso that we requested ,titus1 as he  
before began1 that he would complete    
also this charity with you4 #h3g;,but as
 you abound in every thing1 in faith1   
and speech1 and knowledge1 and in all   
diligence1 and in your love for us1 we  
desire that you may abound in this grace
 also4  #b #h3h;,i do not speak by      
command1 but on account of the diligence
 of others1 and to prove the genuineness
 of your love2 #h3i;for you know the    
grace of our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 that 
for your sakes he became poor1 though   
rich1 that you by his poverty might be  
rich4 #h3aj;,and in this case ,i give an
 opinion2 for this is expedient for you1
 who began before to act in this matter 
and to act willingly a year ago4        

#h3aa;,and now1 therefore1 perform the  
doing also1 that as there was a         
readiness to will1 so also there may be 
a performance from what you have4       
#h3ab;,for if there is a willing mind1 a
 man is acceptable according to what he 
has1 and not according to what he has   
not4 #h3ac,not that others may be       
relieved and you burdened1 #h3ad;but    
that there may be an equality2 that at  
the present time your abundance may     
supply their deficiency1 and that their 
abundance may supply your deficiency1   
that there may be an equality1 #h3ae;as 
it is written2 ,he that gathered much   
had nothing over1 and he that gathered  
little had no deficiency4  #c #h3af;,but
 thanks be to ,god1 who put this care   
for you into the heart of ,titus1       
#h3ag;for he received the exhortation1  
and being extremely diligent went to you
 of his own accord4 #h3ah;,and we sent  
with him the brother1 whose praise in   
the gospel is in all the churches1      
#h3ai;and not only so1 but he has also  

been chosen by the churches as our      
travelling companion in this charity    
ministered by us for the glory of the   
same ,lord and our promptitude1 #h3bj   
guarding against this1 that no one may  
blame us in this abundance administered 
by us2 #h3ba;for we provide things      
honorable not only before the ,lord1 but
 also before men4 #h3bb;,and we have    
sent with them our brother1 whom we have
 often proved in many services to be    
diligent1 and who is now much more      
diligent from the great confidence in   
you4 #h3bc;,if any one inquires         
respecting ,titus1 he is my companion   
and co-laborer for you2 if our brothers1
 they are apostles of churches and the  
glory of ,christ4 #h3bd,show them       
therefore the proof of your love1 and of
 our boasting of you before the         
churches4  #d #i3a;,for concerning the  
service for the saints it is superfluous
 for me to write to you2 #i3b;for ,i    
know your readiness1 of which ,i boasted
 in your behalf to the ,macedonians that

 ,achaia was ready a year ago1 and your 
zeal has excited many4  #i3c;,but ,i    
sent the brothers1 that our boasting of 
you may not be in vain in this respect1 
as ,i said you were prepared1 #i3dlest  
if the ,macedonians should come with me 
and find you unprepared1 we1 not to say 
you1 should be ashamed of this          
confidence4 #i3e;,i thought it          
necessary1 therefore1 to exhort the     
brothers to go to you before1 and to    
make ready your free gift before        
announced1 that it may be ready as a    
free gift and not as an exaction4  #e   
#i3f;,and consider this1 ,he that sows  
sparingly shall reap also sparingly1 and
 he that sows liberally shall reap also 
liberally4 #i3g,let each one contribute 
as he chooses in his heart1 not with    
regret or from necessity2 for ,god loves
 a cheerful giver4 #i3h;,and ,god is    
able to make every favor abound to you1 
that having always every sufficiency in 
every thing you may abound in every good
 work2 #i3i;as it is written1 ,he       

scattered abroad1 he gave to the poor1  
his righteousness continues forever4    
#i3aj;,and may he that supplies seed to 
the sower and bread for eating multiply 
your grain1 and increase the products of
 your righteousness2 #i3aathat you may  
be enriched in every thing for all      
liberality1 which produces through us   
thanksgiving to ,god4 #i3ab;,for the    
performance of this service not only    
supplies the need of the saints1 but    
also abounds with the thanksgivings of  
many to ,god2 #i3acthey glorifying ,god 
on account of the proof of this ministry
 for your professed subjection to the   
gospel of ,christ and the liberality of 
the contribution to them and to all1    
#i3ad;and by their prayer for you1      
greatly longing for you on account of   
the abounding grace of ,god upon you4   
#i3ae,thanks be to ,god for his         
unspeakable gift4    ,,chapter ,,iii4   
,,paul',s ,,reply ,,to ,,his            
,,detractors4  #a #aj3a;,i ,,paul also  
exhort you by the meekness and          

gentleness of ,christ1 who in appearance
 am humble among you1 but being absent  
am bold towards you2 #aj3b;and ,i desire
 that ,i may not be bold when present1  
with that confidence which ,i design to 
use against some who speak of us as if  
we walked according to the flesh4       
#aj3c;,for though we walk in the flesh  
we do not war according to the flesh1   
#aj3d;for the arms of our warfare are   
not of flesh1 but mighty with ,god to   
the pulling down of strongholds1        
#aj3e;destroying false reasonings and   
every height which is exalted against   
the knowledge of ,god1 and subjecting   
every thought to the obedience of       
,christ1 #aj3f;and being ready to punish
 every disobedience1 when your obedience
 is completed4  #b #aj3g,you see things 
according to appearances4 ,if any one   
trusts in himself that he is ,christ's1 
let him consider again with himself that
 as he is ,christ's so also are we4     
#aj3h;,for if ,i should even boast some 
of our authority which the ,lord gave   

for your edification1 and not for your  
destruction1 ,i should not be ashamed4  
#aj3i;,but ,i forbear1 that ,i may not  
seem as though ,i would terrify you by  
epistles4 #aj3aj;,for the epistles1 say 
they1 are weighty and powerful1 but the 
bodily presence is weak and speech      
contemptible4 #aj3aa,let such a one     
think1 that such as we are in word by   
epistles when absent1 such also will we 
be in work when present4 #aj3ab;,for we 
dare not judge or compare ourselves with
 some who commend themselves2 but they1 
measuring themselves with themselves1   
and comparing themselves with           
themselves1 are not wise4 #aj3ac;,but we
 will not boast of things not measured1 
but according to the measure of the rule
 which ,god has given us1 to come even  
to you4 #aj3ad;,for we do not stretch   
ourselves out too far1 as if we had not 
come to you1 for we came even to you    
with the gospel of ,christ2 #aj3aenot   
boasting of things unmeasured in the    
labors of others1 but having a hope1    

your faith being increased1 that we     
shall be magnified among you according  
to our rule abundantly1 #aj3afto preach 
the gospel in the parts beyond you1 not 
to boast of things prepared by another's
 rule4  #aj3ag;,but let him that glories
 glory in the ,lord2 #aj3ah;for not he  
that commends himself is approved1 but  
he whom the ,lord commends4  #c #aa3a;,i
 wish you would bear a little with my   
folly2 and indeed do bear with me4      
#aa3b;,for ,i am zealous for you with a 
godly zeal1 for ,i joined you1 a chaste 
virgin1 to one husband1 to present to   
,christ2 #aa3c;but ,i fear lest as the  
serpent deceived ,eve with his          
craftiness1 so also your minds may be   
corrupted from the simplicity which is  
in ,christ4 #aa3d;,for if he that comes 
preaches another ,jesus whom we did not 
preach1 or you receive another spirit   
which you did not receive1 or another   
gospel which you did not receive1 you   
might well bear it2 #aa3e;for ,i judge  
that ,i am not behind the chief of the  

apostles4 #aa3f;,and even if ,i am rude 
in speech1 ,i certainly am not in       
knowledge1 but we have been made fully  
manifest to you in all things4 #aa3g    
,have ,i done wrong to humble myself    
that you might be exalted1 that ,i      
preached the gospel of ,god to you      
gratuitously8 #aa3h;,i robbed other     
churches taking wages to serve you2     
#aa3i;and when ,i was with you and was  
in want1 ,i was burdensome to no one2   
for the brothers who came from          
,macedonia supplied beforehand my need2 
and in every thing ,i kept myself       
without being burdensome to you1 and    
will keep myself so4  #d #aa3aj;,as the 
truth of ,christ is in me1 this boasting
 in respect to myself shall not be      
silenced in the regions of ,achaia4     
#aa3aa,why8 ,because ,i love you not8   
,god knows4 #aa3ab;,but what ,i do ,i   
also will do1 that ,i may take away an  
occasion from those who wish an         
occasion1 that wherein they boast they  
may be found even as we are4 #aa3ac;,for

 such false apostles1 deceitful         
laborers1 transform themselves into     
apostles of ,christ4  #aa3ad;,and no    
wonder2 for ,satan himself transforms   
himself into an angel of light4         
#aa3ae;,it is no great thing1 therefore1
 if his ministers transform themselves  
as ministers of righteousness1 whose end
 will be according to their works4  #e  
#aa3af;,again1 ,i say let no one think  
me to be foolish2 but if otherwise1 even
 as a foolish man bear with me that ,i  
may boast a little4 #aa3ag,what ,i say1 
,i do not say according to the ,lord1   
but as it were in foolishness1 in this  
confidence of boasting4  #aa3ah,since   
many boast of the flesh1 ,i also will   
boast4  #aa3ai,you endure fools         
patiently being wise2 #aa3bj;for you    
endure it if any one reduces you to     
servitude1 if any one devours you1 if   
any one takes from you1 if any one      
exalts himself against you1 if any one

 #b3bb,you that command not to commit   
adultery1 do you commit adultery8 ,you  
that abhor idols1 do you commit         
sacrilege8 #b3bc,you who boast of the   
law1 by the transgression of the law do 
you dishonor ,god8 #b3bd;,for the name  

of ,god is blasphemed on your account   
among the nations as it is written4  #h 
#b3be;,for circumcision indeed is       
profitable if you perform the law1 but  
if you are a transgressor of the law1   
your circumcision becomes               
uncircumcision4 #b3bf;,if therefore the 
uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of  
the law1 shall not its uncircumcision be
 accounted for circumcision8 #b3bg;,and 
the uncircumcision by nature which keeps
 the law shall judge you who with the   
written law and circumcision are a      
transgressor of the law4 #b3bh;,for not 
that which is external is the ,jew1 nor 
is that which is external in the flesh  
circumcision4 #b3bi;,but that which is  
in secret is the ,jew1 and circumcision 
of the heart is in the spirit not in the
 writing1 the commendation of which is  
not of men but of ,god4  #i #c3a,what   
then is the preeminence of the ,jew8 or 
what the profit of circumcision8        
#c3b,much in every way4 ,for first1     
indeed1 that they were entrusted with   

the oracles of ,god4  #c3c;,for what if 
some did not believe8 ,will their       
unbelief destroy the faith of ,god8     
#c3d;,by no means2 but let ,god be true1
 and every man a liar2 as it is written1
 ,that thou mayest be justified in thy  
sayings and overcome when thou art      
judged4  #aj #c3e;,but if our           
unrighteousness commends the            
righteousness of ,god1 what shall we    
say8 ,is ,god unrighteous who inflicts  
wrath8 ,i speak as a man2-- #c3f by no  
means2--since if he was how shall ,god  
judge the world8 #c3g;,for if the truth 
of ,god abounded by my falsehood to his 
glory1 why am ,i also yet judged as a   
sinner8  #c3h;,and as we are falsely    
accused and as some declare that we say1
 do we say ,let us do evil that good may
 come8 ,whose judgment is just4  #aa    
#c3i,what defense then have we8 ,none at
 all2 for we before asserted that both  
,jews and ,greeks are all under sin1    
#c3aj;as it is written1 ,there is none  
righteous not one1 #c3aathere is none   

that understands1 there is none that    
seeks ,god2 #c3ab;all have turned aside1
 they have together become unprofitable2
 there is no one that does good1 there  
is not even one2 #c3actheir throat is an
 opened tomb1 with their tongues they   
practise deceit1 the poison of asps is  
under their lips4 #c3ad,their mouth is  
full of cursing and bitterness4 #c3ae   
,their feet are swift to shed blood1    
#c3af;destruction and misery are in     
their ways1 #c3ag;and the way of peace  
they have not known4 #c3ah,there is no  
fear of ,god before their eyes4         
#c3ai;,but we know that whatever the law
 says1 it says to those having the law1 
that every mouth may be stopped and all 
the world become guilty before ,god4    
#c3bj,wherefore by the works of the law 
there shall no flesh be justified is his
 sight1 for by the law there is an      
acknowledgment of sin4    ,,chapter     
,,iii4  ,,god',s ,,righteousness ,,by   
,,faith ,,saves ,,both ,,jews ,,and     
,,gentiles4  #a #c3ba;,,but now ,god's  

righteousness has been made manifest    
without the law1 being testified to by  
the law and the prophets1 #c3bb;but     
,god's righteousness is through the     
faith of ,jesus ,christ1 in all and upon
 all that believe4 ,for there is no     
difference2 #c3bc;for all have sinned   
and come short of the glory of ,god1    
#c3bd;being justified freely by his     
grace through the redemption in ,christ 
,jesus1 #c3bewhom ,god set forth to be a
 propitiator through faith in his blood1
 to show his righteousness because of   
the passing by of the errors committed  
previously in the forbearance of ,god1  
#c3bfto show his righteousness at the   
present time1 that he may be righteous  
and justify him that is of faith4  #b   
#c3bg,where then is the boasting of the 
,jew8 ,it is excluded4  ,by what law8   
,of works8 ,no2 but by the law of faith4
 #c3bh,we conclude then that a man is   
justified by faith without the works of 
the law4 #c3bi;,is ,god a ,god of the   
,jews alone8 and not also of the        

gentiles8 ,yes1 also of the gentiles1   
#c3cj since there is one ,god who will  
justify the circumcision by faith and   
the uncircumcision through the same     
faith4 #c3ca;,do we then abrogate the   
law by the faith8 ,by no means2 but we  
establish the law4  #c #d3a,what shall  
we say then that ,abraham our father    
found according to the flesh8 #d3b;,for 
if ,abraham was justified by works he   
has occasion for boasting1 but not      
before ,god4  #d3c;,for what says the   
,scripture8 ,and ,abraham believed ,god 
and it was accounted to him for         
righteousness4 #d3d;,but to one that    
works the reward is not accounted by    
grace but by debt4 #d3e;,but to one that
 works not1 but believes on him that    
justifies the wicked1 his faith is      
accounted for righteousness4 #d3f;,as   
,david describes the blessedness of the 
man to whom the ,lord accounts          
righteousness without works1            
#d3g;,blessed are they whose            
transgressions are forgiven and whose   

sins are covered2 #d3h;blessed is the   
man to whom the ,lord does not account  
sin4  #d #d3i;,is this blessedness then 
on the circumcision8 or also on the     
uncircumcision8 ,also on the            
uncircumcision4 ,for we say that faith  
was accounted to ,abraham for           
righteousness4 #d3aj;,how then was it   
accounted8 when he was in circumcision1 
or in uncircumcision8 ,not in           
circumcision1 but in uncircumcision4    
#d3aa;,and he received the symbol of    
circumcision1 a seal of the             
righteousness of the faith which was in 
uncircumcision1 so that he became the   
father of all that believe in           
uncircumcision1 that righteousness may  
also be accounted to them1 #d3ab;and a  
father of circumcision not to those of  
the circumcision only1 but to those also
 who walk in the steps of the faith of  
our father ,abraham which was in        
uncircumcision4  #e #d3ac;,for the      
promise to ,abraham and his posterity   
that he should inherit the world was not

 through the law but through the        
righteousness of faith4 #d3ad;,for if   
the subjects of the law are heirs1 the  
faith is done away and the promise      
abrogated4  #d3ae;,for the law produces 
wrath2 for where there is no law there  
is no transgression4 #d3af,therefore it 
is by faith that it may be by grace1    
that the promise may be sure to all the 
posterity1 not to that of the law only  
but to that of the faith of ,abraham1   
who is a father of us all1 #d3ag;as it  
is written1 ,i have made you a father of
 many nations before ,god in whom he    
believed1 who makes the dead alive and  
calls things which do not exist as      
existing4-- #d3ahwho against hope       
believed in hope that he should become a
 father of many nations according to the
 saying shall your posterity be4 #d3ai  
,and being not weak in faith1 he did not
 regard himself as dead1 being now about
 a hundred years old1 nor ,sarah's      
incapacity for child-bearing1 #d3bj;and 
he did not doubt the promise of ,god by 

unbelief1 but was strong in faith1      
giving glory to ,god1 #d3ba;being fully 
persuaded that what he had promised he  
was able to perform4 #d3bb,wherefore    
also it was accounted to him for        
righteousness4 #d3bc ,but it was not    
written for his sake alone1 that it was 
accounted to him1 #d3bd but also for our
 sakes1 to whom it is about to be       
accounted if we believe on him that     
raised ,jesus our ,lord from the dead1  
#d3bewho was delivered up for our sins  
and raised for our justification4  #f   
#e3a;,having been justified therefore by
 faith1 we have peace with ,god through 
our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 #e3bthrough   
whom also we have been introduced into  
this grace in which we stand1 and       
rejoice in the hope of the glory of     
,god4 #e3c;,and not only this1 but we   
rejoice also in afflictions1 knowing    
that affliction works out patience1     
#e3d;and patience1 experience1 and      
experience1 hope2 #e3e and the hope     
makes not ashamed1 because the love of  

,god has been poured out in our hearts  
through the ,holy ,spirit given us4     
#e3f;,for when we were yet weak1 in due 
time ,christ died for the wicked2       
#e3g;for scarcely for a righteous man   
will one die1 but for a good man some   
one perhaps would even dare to die2     
#e3h;but ,god commends his love to us1  
that while we were yet sinners ,christ  
died for us2 #e3imuch more then being   
now justified by his blood1 we shall be 
saved through him from wrath4           
#e3aj;,for if when enemies we were      
reconciled to ,god through the death of 
his ,son1 much more having become       
reconciled we shall be saved in his     
life4 #e3aa;,and not only so1 but we    
also rejoice in ,god through our ,lord  
,jesus ,christ1 through whom we received
 the present reconciliation4  #g        
#e3ab,therefore1 as through one man sin 
entered into the world and death through
 sin1 and so came upon all men because  
all sinned1-- #e3ac;for till the law    
there was sin in the world1 but sin is  

not accounted where there is no law     
#e3ad;but death reigned from ,adam till 
,moses even over those that sinned not  
after the similitude ,adam's            
transgression1 who is a type of him that
 was to come2 #e3ae;but not as the fall 
so also is the gift2 for if by the fall 
of one the many died1 much more the     
grace of ,god and the gift by grace     
which is of the one man ,jesus ,christ1 
abounded to the many2 #e3af;and not as  
through one that sinned is the gift2 for
 the judgment was by one to             
condemnation1 but the gift was from many
 sins to a righteous ordinance2         
#e3ag;for if by one fall death reigned  
through the one1 much more those who    
receive the abundance of the grace and  
of the gift of righteousness shall reign
 in life through the one1 ,jesus        
,christ2-- #e3ahtherefore1 as through   
the fall of one judgment came on all men
 to condemnation1 so also through the   
righteous ordinance of one the gift     
comes on all men to justification of    

life2 #e3ai;for as through the          
disobedience of the one man the many    
were constituted sinners1 so also       
through the obedience of the one shall  
the many be constituted righteous4      
#e3bj;,for the law supervened that the  
fall might abound2 but where the sin    
abounded the grace was superabundant1   
#e3bathat as sin reigned in death1 so   
the grace shall reign through           
righteousness in life eternal through   
,jesus ,christ our ,lord4    ,,chapter  
,,iv4  ,,sin ,,is ,,on ,,no ,,account   
,,to ,,be ,,allowed4  #a #f3a,,what     
shall we say then8 ,shall we continue in
 sin1 that the grace may abound8        
#f3b;,by no means4 ,how shall we who    
died to sin any longer live in it8      
#f3c;,do you not know that as many of us
 as were baptized in ,christ were       
baptized in his death8 #f3d,we have been
 buried therefore with him through      
baptism in death1 that as ,christ was   
raised from the dead through the glory  
of the ,father1 so we also should walk  

in newness of life4 #f3e;,for if we have
 been planted together in the likeness  
of his death1 we shall much more be of  
his resurrection2 #f3fknowing this that 
our old man was crucified with him1 that
 the body of sin might be destroyed1    
that we should no longer serve sin2 #f3g
 for he that died was justified from    
sin4 #f3h;,and if we died with ,christ1 
we believe that we shall also live with 
him2 #f3iknowing that ,christ being     
raised from the dead dies no more2 death
 has no longer a lordship over him4     
#f3aj;,for the death which he died1 he  
died to sin once2 but the life which he 
lives1 he lives to ,god4 #f3aa,so also  
account yourselves dead indeed to sin1  
but living to ,god in ,christ ,jesus4   
#b #f3ab,let not sin therefore reign in 
your mortal bodies1 to obey its desires1
 #f3acneither present your members as   
instruments of wickedness to sin1 but   
present yourselves to ,god as living    
from the dead1 and your members as      
instruments of righteousness to ,god4   

#f3ad;,for sin shall not have a         
,lordship over you2 for you are not     
under the law but under the grace4  #c  
#f3ae,what then8 ,shall we sin because  
we are not under the law but under the  
grace8 ,by no means4 #f3af,know you not 
that to whom you present yourselves     
servants for obedience1 his servants you
 are whom you obey1 whether of sin in   
death or of obedience in righteousness8 
#f3ag;,but thanks be to ,god that you   
were servants of sin1 but obeyed from   
the heart the form of teaching in which 
you were instructed1 #f3ah;and having   
become free from sin you served         
righteousness4 #f3ai;,i speak after the 
manner of men on account of the weakness
 of your flesh4 ,for as you presented   
your members servants to impurity and to
 wickedness in wickedness1 so now       
present your members servants to        
righteousness in sanctification4        
#f3bj;,for when you were servants of    
sin1 you were free from righteousness4  
#f3ba,what fruit had you therefore then 

in things of which you are now ashamed8 
for the end of them is death4 #f3bb;,but
 now having been made free from sin and 
made servants to ,god1 you have your    
fruit in sanctification1 and the end    
eternal life4 #f3bc;,for the wages of   
sin is death2 but the gift of ,god is   
eternal life by ,christ ,jesus our      
,lord4    ,,chapter ,v4  ,,those ,,in

brothers1 for ,i speak to them who      
understand law1 that the law has        
authority over a man as long as he      
lives8 #g3b;,for a woman under a husband
 is bound by law to a living husband2   
but if the husband has died she is      
released from the law of the husband4   
#g3c,therefore while the husband lives1 
she shall be called an adulteress if she
 is married to another man2 but if the  
husband has died1 she is free from the  
law1 so that she is not an adulteress if

 married to another man4 #g3d,so1 my    
brothers1 you have also died to the law 
through the body of ,christ1 that you   
should be married to another1 to him    
that was raised from the dead1 that we  
should bear fruit to ,god4 #g3e;,for    
when we were in the flesh1 the sinful   
affections operated through the law in  
our members to bear fruit to death2     
#g3f;but now we are released from the   
law by which we were held having died1  
that we should serve ,god in newness of 
spirit1 not in the old age of a writing4
  #b #g3g,what shall we say then8 ,is   
the law sin8 ,by no means4 ,on the      
contrary ,i knew not sin except through 
the law2 for ,i had not known inordinate
 desire1 unless the law had said1 ,you  
shall not desire inordinately4 #g3h;,but
 ,sin having taken occasion through the 
commandment wrought in me every         
inordinate desire2 for without the law  
sin was dead4  #c #g3i;,and ,i was alive
 without the law once1 but when the     
commandment came1 sin revived1 and ,i   

died1 #g3aj;and the commandment which   
was for life was found to be for death4 
#g3aa;,for sin having taken occasion    
through the commandment deceived me1 and
 through it killed me4 #g3ab,the law    
therefore is holy1 and the commandment  
holy and righteous and good4 #g3ac;,did 
then that which is good become death to 
me8 ,by no means1 but sin2 that sin     
might be made manifest1 producing death 
to me through that which is good1 that  
sin might become exceedingly sinful     
through the commandment4 #g3ad;,for we  
know that the law is spiritual2 but ,i  
am carnal1 sold under sin4 #g3ae;,for   
what ,i do this ,i approve not2 for ,i  
do not what ,i wish1 but what ,i hate1  
this ,i do4 #g3af;,but if what ,i wish  
not this ,i do1 ,i consent to the law   
that it is good2 #g3ag;and now ,i no    
longer do it1 but the sin that dwells in
 me4 #g3ah;,for ,i know that in me1 that
 is in my flesh1 there dwells no good4

the law1 that when ,i wish to do good   
evil is present with me2 #g3bb;for ,i   
consent to the law of ,god as to my     
inward man1 my soul1 #g3bc;but ,i see

,i am2 who will deliver me from the body

because it was weak through the flesh1

condemned the sin in the flesh1 #h3dthat
 the righteous ordinance of the law may 
be performed by us who walk not         
according to the flesh1 but according to
 the spirit4 #h3e;,for they who are     
according to the flesh mind the things  
of the flesh1 but they who are according
 to the spirit the things of the spirit2
 #h3f for the minding of the flesh is   
death1 but the minding of the ,spirit is
 life and peace4 #h3g;,because the      
minding of the flesh is enmity against  
,god2 for it is not subject to the law  
of ,god2 for it can not be4 #h3h;,and   
they that are in the flesh cannot please
 ,god4 #h3i;,but you are not in the     
flesh but in the spirit1 if indeed the  
,spirit of ,god dwells in you4 ,and if  
any man has not the spirit of ,christ he

 is not his4 #h3aj;,but if ,christ is in
 you1 the body is dead on account of    
sin1 but the spirit is life on account  
of righteousness4 #h3aa;,and if the

spirit you kill the deeds of the body1  
you shall live4 #h3ad;,for as many as   
are led by the ,spirit of ,god they are 
sons of ,god4 #h3ae;,for you received   
not the spirit of servitude again to    
fear1 but you received the spirit of    
adoption1 by which we cry2 ,abba1       
,father4 #h3af,the ,spirit itself is a  
co-witness with our spirits that we are 
children of ,god4 #h3ag;,and if         
children1 we are also heirs1 heirs      
indeed of ,god and co-heirs with        

,christ1 if we suffer with him that we  
may also be glorified with him4  #c     
#h3ah;,for ,i think that the sufferings 
of the present time are of no account in
 comparison with the glory to be        
revealed in us4  #h3ai;,for the earnest 
expectation of the creation waits for   
the revelation of the sons of ,god4     
#h3bj ,for the creation was subjected to
 a perishable condition1 not willingly1 
but by him that subjected it1 in hope   
#h3bathat the same creation will be     
delivered from the servitude of         
destruction and brought into the        
glorious liberty of the sons of ,god4   
#h3bb;,for we know that all the creation
 groans and is in pain till now2        
#h3bc;and not only it1 but we ourselves 
also who have the first fruit of the    
,spirit1 even ourselves groan within    
ourselves1 waiting for the adoption1 the
 redemption of our bodies4 #h3bd;,for we
 are saved by hope2 but a hope that is  
seen is not a hope2 for why does one    
hope for what he sees8 #h3be;but if we  

hope for what we see not1 we wait for it
 with patience4  #d #h3bf;,and in like  
manner also the ,spirit helps our       
weakness4  ,for we know not what to pray
 for as we ought1 but the ,spirit makes 
intercession for us with groanings      
unutterable2 #h3bg;and he that searches 
the hearts knows what is the mind of the
 ,spirit1 because it makes intercession 
with ,god for the saints4 #h3bh;,and we 
know that all things work together for  
good to those who love ,god1 to those   
who are called according to his purpose4
  #h3bi;,for whom he foreknew1 he also  
predestinated to be conformed to the

first-born among many brothers2

also called2 and whom he called them he

shall we say then to these things8 ,if  
,god is for us1 who is against us8

gave him up for us all1 how shall he not

 also with him freely give us all       
things8 #h3cc,who will bring a charge   
against ,god's elect8 ,it is ,god that  
justifies2 #h3cdwho is he that condemns8

election obtained2 and the rest were    
hardened1-- #aa3h;as it is written1 ,god
 gave them a spirit of stupor1 eyes that

 they should not see1 and ears that they
 should not hear--to this day4          
#aa3i;,and ,david says1 ,let their table
 become a trap and a snare and an       
offense and a stumbling block to them2  
#aa3ajlet their eyes be darkened that   
they may not see1 and bow down their    
back always4  #b #aa3aa;,i say then1    
have they stumbled that they should     
fall8 ,by no means2 but by their fall   
the nations have salvation to excite    
them to emulation4 #aa3ab ,but if their 
fall is the riches of the world1 and    
their diminution the riches of nations1 
how much more will their fullness be4   
#aa3ac;,for ,i speak to you1 gentiles4  
,inasmuch as ,i am an apostle of the    
gentiles1 ,i glorify my ministry1       
#aa3ad;if perhaps ,i may excite my flesh
 race to emulation and save some of     
them4 #aa3ae;,for if their falling away 
is the reconciling of the world1 what   
will their recovery be but life from the
 dead8 #aa3af;,and if the first fruit is
 holy1 the mass is also2 and if the root

 is holy1 the branches also are4  #c    
#aa3ag;,but if some of the branches were

not against the branches2 but if you    
boast1 you bear not the root1 but the   
root you4 #aa3ai,you will say then1 ,the
 branches were broken off that ,i might 
be grafted in4 #aa3bj,well2 they were   
broken off by unbelief1 and you stand by
 faith4 ,be not high-minded1 but fear2  
#aa3ba;for if ,god spared not the

spare you4 #aa3bb,see then the goodness

 fell1 severity1 but towards you1 the   
goodness of ,god1 if you continue in    
goodness1 for otherwise you also will be
 cut off4 #aa3bc;,and they1 if they     
continue not in unbelief1 will be       
grafted in2 for ,god is able to graft   
them in again4 #aa3bd ,for if you have  
been cut from an olive wild by nature1

good olive1 how much more shall they    
according to nature be grafted into     
their own olive4  #d #aa3be;,for ,i wish
 you not to be ignorant1 brothers1 of   
this mystery2 that you may not be wise

to you in part1 to refresh your minds on
 account of the grace given me by ,god  
#ae3afthat ,i should be a servant of

administering as a priest the gospel of

,holy ,spirit4 #ae3ag;,i have therefore 
cause of boasting in ,christ ,jesus in  
respect to things relating to ,god2     
#ae3ah;for ,i dare not to speak of what 
,christ has not performed by me for the 
obedience of the nations1 by word and   
work1 #ae3ai;by the power of miracles   
and prodigies1 by the power of the      
,spirit1 so that from ,jerusalem and    
around as far as ,illyricum ,i have     
fully preached the gospel of ,christ4   
#ae3bj;,and ,i have been anxious so to  
preach where ,christ was not named1 that
 ,i might not build on another's        
foundation2 #ae3ba;but as it is written1
 ,they shall see to whom nothing was    
told concerning him1 and they who have  
not heard shall understand4  #g

contribution for the poor of the saints 
at ,jerusalem4  #ae3bg,they have been   
pleased indeed1 and their debtors they  
are2 for if the nations have            
participated in their spiritual things1 
they ought also to serve them in things 
pertaining to the flesh4  #ae3bh;,having
 therefore performed this1 and sealed to
 them this service1 ,i will go by you to

 come to you ,i shall come in the

may be delivered from those that obey   
not in ,judea1 and that my service which
 is for ,jerusalem may be acceptable to

 blessing in the heavenly worlds in     
,christ1 #a3d;as he chose us in him     
before the foundation of the world1 that
 we should be holy and blameless before 
him1 #a3e;having predestinated us in    
love to an adoption through ,jesus      
,christ to himself1 according to the    
good pleasure of his will1 #a3fto the   
praise of his glorious grace1 which he  
bestowed upon us in the beloved1 #a3g;in
 whom we have the redemption through his
 blood1 the forgiveness of sins1        

according to the riches of his grace1   
#a3hwhich he bestowed on us abundantly  
with all wisdom and knowledge #a3imaking
 known to us the mystery of his will1   
according to his good pleasure which he 
purposed in himself #a3aj;in respect to 
the dispensation of the fullness of     
times1 to bring all things into one in  
,christ1 the things which are in heaven 
and the things which are on earth1 in   
him #a3aa;in whom also we have been     
called1 having been predestinated       
according to the purpose of him who     
works out all things according to the   
counsel of his will1 #a3abthat we should
 be for a praise of his glory1 who first
 trusted in ,christ2 #a3ac;in whom also 
you1 when you heard the word of truth1  
the gospel of your salvation1 in whom   
also you having believed were sealed    
with the ,holy ,spirit of promise1      
#a3adwhich is a pledge of our           
inheritance for the redemption of the   
purchased possession1 to the praise of  
his glory4  #c #a3ae,therefore1 ,i also1

 having heard of your faith in the ,lord
 ,jesus and love to all the saints1     
#a3af;do not cease to give thanks for   
you1 making mention of you in my        
prayers1 #a3agthat the ,god of our ,lord
 ,jesus ,christ1 the ,father of glory1  
may give you a spirit of wisdom and     
revelation in the knowledge of him2     
#a3ahthe eyes of your minds being       
enlightened1 that you may know what is  
the hope of his call1 and what the      
riches of the glory of his inheritance  
in the saints1 #a3ai;and what the       
exceeding greatness of his power towards
 us who believe1 according to the       
operation of his mighty power1          
#a3bjwhich he performed in ,christ1 when
 he raised him from the dead and seated 
him at his right hand in the heavenly   
worlds1 #a3ba;above every principality  
and authority and power and lordship1   
and every name that is named1 not only  
in this life but also in that to come1  
#a3bb;and put all things in subjection  
under his feet1 and made him head over  

all things to the church1 #a3bcwhich is 
his body1 the fullness of him that fills
 all things in all4  #d #b3a;,and you   
being dead in trespasses and sins1--    
#b3b;in which you formerly walked       
according to the life of this world1    
according to the ruler of the power of  
the air1 the spirit which now operates  
in the children of disobedience1 #b3c   
among whom also we all formerly lived in
 the desires of our flesh1 performing   
the wishes of the flesh and the mind1   
and were by nature children of wrath    
even as others2 #b3d;but ,god who is    
rich in mercy1 on account of his great  
love with which he loved us1-- #b3e;even
 when we were dead in sins he made us   
alive with ,christ1--by grace are you   
saved1 #b3f;and raised us up and seated 
us together with ,christ ,jesus in the  
heavenly worlds1 #b3gthat he might show 
in the ages to come the transcendent    
riches of his grace in goodness to us by
 ,jesus ,christ4 #b3h;,for by grace are 
you saved through the faith2 and that   

not of you2 it is the gift of ,god2     
#b3inot of works1 that no one may boast2
 #b3aj;for we are his creation1 created 
in ,christ ,jesus for good works1 in    
which ,god before appointed that we     
should walk4  #e #b3aa,wherefore1       
remember that you were formerly gentiles
 by birth1 called uncircumcision by that
 called circumcision made in the flesh  
by the hand1 #b3ab that at that time you
 were without ,christ1 alienated from   
the polity of ,israel1 and strangers to 
the covenants of promise1 having no hope
 and without ,god in the world2         
#b3ac;but now1 in ,christ ,jesus you who
 were formerly far off have been made   
nigh by the blood of ,christ4 #b3ad;,for
 he is our peace1 who made both one and 
broke down the middle wall of partition1
 #b3aethe enmity1 and abolished by his  
flesh the law of commandments consisting
 of ordinances1 that of the two he might
 create in himself one new man1 making  
peace1 #b3af;and reconcile both in one  
body to ,god through the cross1 having  

destroyed the enmity by it4 #b3ag;,and  
he came and preached the good news of   
peace to you who were far off1 and peace
 to those nigh1 #b3ah;for through him we
 both have access by one spirit to the  
,father4 #b3ai,therefore you are no     
longer strangers and foreigners1 but you
 are fellow-citizens of the saints and  
of the family of ,god1 #b3bj;being built
 on the foundation of the apostles and  
prophets1 ,jesus ,christ himself being  
the chief corner-stone1 #b3ba;by which  
all the building being fitted together  
grows into a holy temple in the ,lord1  
#b3bb;in which you also are built up    
together for a spiritual habitation of  
,god4  #f #c3a;,for this cause ,i ,paul1
 a prisoner of ,jesus ,christ for you   
gentiles1 #c3b;if indeed you heard of   
the dispensation of the grace of ,god   
given to me for you1 #c3cthat by        
revelation the mystery was made known to
 me1--as ,i wrote before in a few words1
 #c3d;by reading which you can          
understand my knowledge of the mystery  

of ,christ1-- #c3ewhich in other        
generations was not made known to the   
children of men as it has now been      
revealed to his holy apostles and       
prophets by the ,spirit1 #c3fthat the   
gentiles are co-heirs and of the same   
body and joint partakers of the promise 
in ,christ ,jesus through the gospel1   
#c3gof which ,i was made a minister by  
the gracious gift of ,god1 given to me  
by the operation of his power4 #c3h,to  
me1 who am the least of all saints1 was 
this grace given1 to preach to the      
nations the unsearchable riches of      
,christ1 #c3i;and to enlighten all men  
as to the dispensation of the mystery   
concealed from eternity in ,god who     
created all things1 #c3ajthat now to the
 principalities and powers in the       
heavenly worlds should be made known1   
through the church1 the manifold wisdom 
of ,god1 #c3aa;according to the eternal 
purpose which he made in ,christ ,jesus 
our ,lord1 #c3ab;in whom we have        
boldness and access with confidence     

through faith in him4  #g               
#c3ac,wherefore ,i desire you not to    
faint on account of my afflictions for  
you1 which are your glory4 #c3ad;,for   
this reason ,i bow my knees to the      
,father1 #c3aeof whom all the family in 
heaven and on earth is named1 #c3afthat 
he would grant to you according to the  
riches of his glory1 to be strengthened 
with power through his ,spirit in the   
inward man1 #c3agthat ,christ may dwell 
in your hearts through the faith1 you   
being founded and established in love1  
#c3ahthat you may be able to apprehend  
with all the saints what is the breadth 
and length1 and depth and height1       
#c3ai;and to know the love of ,christ   
which exceeds knowledge1 that you may be
 filled with all the fullness of ,god4  
#c3bj,to him that is able to do far     
beyond all that we ask or think1 by the 
power which operates in us1 #c3bato him

#d3a;,i ,,therefore1 the prisoner of the
 ,lord1 exhort you to walk worthily of  
the call with which you were called1    
#d3bwith all humility and meekness1 with
 long suffering1 forbearing one another 
in love1 #d3cusing diligence to keep the
 unity of the spirit in the bond of

through all and in all4 #d3g;,and to    
each one of us is given grace according 
to the measure of the gift of ,christ4

ascended on high1 he took captivity     
captive1 and gave gifts to men4         
#d3i;,but this1 that he ascended1 what  
is it but that he first descended into  
the lower parts of the earth8 #d3aj;,he 
that descended is the same also that    
ascended above all heavens1 that he     
might fill all places4  #d3aa;,and he   

gave some apostles1 and some prophets1  
and some evangelists1 and some pastors  
and teachers1 #d3ab;for the perfecting  
of the saints1 for the work of the      
ministry1 for the edification of the    
body of ,christ1 #d3actill we all come  
to the unity of the faith and of the    
knowledge of the ,son of ,god1 to a     
perfect man1 to the measure of the      
stature of the fullness of ,christ1     
#d3ad that we may be no longer children1
 driven about like waves and carried    
about with every wind of doctrine1 by   
the art of men1 and the craftiness of   
deceitful wiles1 #d3ae;but speaking the 
truth with love we may grow to him in   
all things1 who is the head1 ,christ2   
#d3af;by whom all the body being joined 
together and compacted by the supply of 
every joint1 according to the           
proportionate operation of every part1  
makes increase of the body to the       
edification of itself in love4  #c      
#d3ag,this ,i say then and testify in   
the ,lord1 that you no longer walk as   

the other gentiles walk1 in the vanity  
of their minds1 #d3ahwith their         
understandings darkened1 alienated from 
the life of ,god on account of the      
ignorance which is in them1 on account  
of the hardness of their hearts1 #d3ai  
who being without feeling have given    
themselves up to lewdness1 to commit    
every impurity with greediness4         
#d3bj;,but you have not so learned      
,christ1 #d3ba;if you have indeed heard 
him1 and been instructed by him as the  
truth is in ,jesus1 #d3bbthat you should
 lay aside your former mode of life the 
old man destroyed by deceitful desires1 
#d3bc;and be renewed in the spirit of   
your minds1 #d3bd and put on the new    
man1 created after ,god in righteousness
 and true holiness4  #d #d3be,wherefore1
 laying aside lying let every one speak 
the truth to his neighbor1 for we are   
members one of another4  #d3bf;,be angry
 and sin not2 let not the sun go down on
 your wrath1 #d3bgneither give place to 
the devil4 #d3bh,let him that has stolen

 steal no more1 but rather let him      
labor1 doing that which is good with his
 hands1 that he may have to give to him 
that needs4 #d3bi,let no evil word      
proceed out of your mouth1 but that     
which is good for useful edification1   
that it may afford benefit to those that
 hear4 #d3cj;,and grieve not the ,holy  
,spirit of ,god1 by which you were      
sealed to the day of redemption4        
#d3ca,let all bitterness1 and wrath1 and
 anger1 and clamor1 and blasphemy1 be   
banished from among you1 with all       
malice4 #d3cb;,but be kind one to       
another1 merciful1 giving one to        
another1 as ,god also in ,christ gave to
 you4 #e3a;,be therefore followers of   
,god1 as dear children1 #e3b;and walk in
 love1 as ,christ also loved us and gave
 himself for us1 an offering and        
sacrifice to ,god of good odor4  #e     
#e3c,let not fornication and any        
impurity or covetousness be named among 
you1 as becomes saints1 #e3dnor         
indecorum and foolish talking1 or       

jesting1 things not becoming1 but rather
 giving of thanks4 #e3e;,for you know   
this1 that no fornicator1 or impure1 or 
covetous person1 who is an idolater1 has
 an inheritance in the kingdom of       
,christ and of ,god4 #e3f,let no man    
deceive you with vain words2 for on     
account of these comes the wrath of ,god
 on the children of disobedience4       
#e3g;,be not therefore partakers with   
them4 #e3h;,for you were formerly       
darkness1 but now you are light in the  
,lord4 ,walk as children of light1--    
#e3i;for the fruit of the light is in   
all goodness and righteousness and      
truth1-- #e3ajproving what is well      
pleasing to the ,lord1 #e3aa;and be not 
partakers of the unfruitful works of    
darkness1 but rather reprove them4 #e3ab
 ,for the things which are done by them 
in secret it is base even to mention2   
#e3ac;but all things proved to be wrong 
are made manifest by the light2 for     
every thing which makes manifest is     
light4 #e3ad,wherefore he says1 ,awake  

you that sleep1 and arise from the dead1
 and ,christ shall give you light4  #f  
#e3ae,see then that you walk discreetly1
 not as unwise but as wise1 #e3af       
redeeming the time1 because the days are
 evil4  #e3ag;,be not foolish therefore1
 but understand what the will of the    
,lord is4 #e3ah;,and be not drunk with  
wine1 in which is excess1 but be filled 
with the spirit1 #e3aispeaking to       
yourselves in psalms and hymns and      
spiritual songs1 singing and making     
music in your hearts to the ,lord1      
#e3bj;giving thanks always for all      
things in the name of our ,lord ,jesus  
,christ to the ,god and ,father1        
#e3ba;being subject one to another in   
the fear of ,christ4 #e3bb,let wives be 
subject to their husbands as to the     
,lord1 #e3bc;for the husband is the head
 of the wife1 as also ,christ is the    
head of the church2 he is the savior of 
the body4  #e3bd;,but as the church is  
subject to ,christ1 so also let wives be
 subject to husbands in every thing4    

#e3be ,husbands1 love your wives as     
,christ also loved the church and gave  
himself for it1 #e3bfthat he might      
sanctify it1 purifying it with the      
washing of water with the word1         
#e3bgthat he might present the church to
 himself glorious1 not having a spot or 
wrinkle or any thing of the kind1 but   
that it should be holy and blameless4   
#e3bh;,husbands ought to love their     
wives as their own bodies4 ,he that     
loves his wife loves himself2 #e3bi;for 
no one ever hated his own flesh1 but    
nourishes and cherishes it1 as ,christ  
also the church2 #e3cj;for we are       
members of his body4 #e3ca;,for this    
cause a man shall leave his father and  
mother and be joined to his wife1 and   
they two shall be one flesh4 #e3cb,this 
is a great mystery2 but ,i speak of     
,christ and the church4 #e3cc;,but do   
you also1 individually1 each one so love
 his wife as himself1 and the wife see  
that she reverences the husband4  #g

 ,lord2 for this is right4 #f3b;,honor  
your father and your mother1 which is

children1 but bring them up in the      
instruction and admonition of the ,lord4

masters according to the flesh1 with    
fear and trembling1 in the sincerity of 
your hearts as to ,christ1 #f3fnot with 
eye service as pleasing men1 but as     
servants of ,christ doing the will of   
,god from the heart1 #f3gperforming     
service kindly as to the ,lord and not  
to men1 #f3h knowing that whatever good 
each one does1 for this he shall receive
 from the ,lord1 whether a servant or a 
freeman4 #f3i;,and1 masters1 do the same
 things to them1 forbearing threatening1
 knowing also that their master and     
yours is in heaven1 and there is no     
respect of persons with him4  #i        
#f3aj;,finally1 be strong in the ,lord  

and in the power of his might4 #f3aa    
,put on the whole armor of ,god that you
 may be able to stand against the wiles 
of the devil2 #f3ab;for our conflict is 
not against flesh and blood1 but against
 principalities1 against powers1 against
 the potentates of the darkness of this 
world1 against the spiritual hosts of   
evil in the heavenly worlds4 #f3ac ,take
 therefore the whole armor of ,god1 that
 you may be able to resist in the evil

 in all other places1 #a3ad;and many of 
the brothers having been made confident 
by my bonds in the ,lord have more      
abundant courage to speak the word      
without fear4 #a3ae;,for some indeed    
preach ,christ because of envy and      
strife1 and some also because of good   
will2 #a3agthose from love1 knowing that
 ,i am set for the defense of the       
gospel1 #a3af;but those from contention 
preach ,christ not sincerely1 thinking  
to raise up affliction for my bonds4    
#a3ah,what then8 nevertheless1 in every 
way1 whether in pretence or in truth1   

,christ is preached1 and in this ,i     
rejoice4 ,but ,i also will rejoice2     
#a3ai;for ,i know that this will result 
in salvation to me1 through your prayer1
 and the supply of the ,spirit of ,jesus

ashamed in nothing1 but with all        
boldness as always also now ,christ     
shall be magnified in my body1 whether  
by life or by death4 #a3ba;,because for 
me to live is ,christ and to die is     
gain4 #a3bb;,but if to live in the flesh
 is allowed me1 ,i have this fruit of my
 work1 and which ,i shall choose ,i know
 not4  #a3bc;,but ,i am in a strait     
between the two1 having a desire to     
depart and be with ,christ2 for this is 
far better2 #a3bd;but to continue in the
 flesh is more necessary for you4       
#a3be;,and fully believing this1 ,i know
 that ,i shall continue1 and continue   
with you all1 for your advancement and  
joy of the faith1 #a3bfthat your        
rejoicing may abound in ,christ ,jesus  

by me through my coming again to you4   
#d #a3bg,only conduct yourselves as     
citizens worthily of the gospel of

you1 or be absent1 ,i may hear of your

for the faith of the gospel1            
#a3bhterrified in nothing by the        
adversaries1 which is to them a token of
 destruction1 but to you of salvation1

 nothing in strife or vain glory1 but in

 humility let each esteem others better

 desired you all and was anxious1

diligently1 that seeing him again you   
may rejoice and ,i be less sorrowful4

pleasure to the neglect of ,christ1 they
 wish to marry1 #e3ab;being condemned

him a righteousness1 and he was called

,jesus ,christ4 #a3b;,grace and peace be
 multiplied to you by a knowledge of    
,god and of ,jesus our ,lord4  #b       
#a3c;,as his divine power has given us  
all things which pertain to life and    
piety1 through the knowledge of him that
 has called us to his own glory and     
virtue1 #a3dthrough which have been     
given us very great and precious        
promises1 that by these you might be    
partakers of the divine nature1 having  
escaped from the corruption which is in 
the world by inordinate desire1 #a3e;and
 for the same purpose also1 giving all  
diligence add to your faith virtue1 and

#a3h;,for if these are in you and       

abound1 they will make you not inactive 
nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our  
,lord ,jesus ,christ2 #a3i;for a man    
that is without these is blind1 not     
seeing to a distance1 and has forgotten 
the purification from his former errors4
 #a3aj,wherefore1 brothers1 use the     
greater diligence to make your calling  
and election sure2 for doing these      
things you shall never fall4 #a3aa;,for 
thus shall you have an abundant entrance
 given you into the eternal kingdom of  
our ,lord and ,saviour ,jesus ,christ4  
#c #a3ab,wherefore ,i will not neglect  
always to remind you of these things1   
although you have known them1 and have  
been established in the present truth4  
#a3ac;,i think it right as long as ,i am
 in this tabernacle1 to excite you by   
remembrance1 #a3adknowing that the      
putting off of my tabernacle is at hand1
 as our ,lord ,jesus ,christ showed me4 
#a3ae;,but ,i will also be diligent and 
especially that you may be able to make 
mention of these things after my        

departure4 #a3af;,for we did not follow 
skilfully constructed myths in making   
known to you the power and appearing of 
our ,lord ,jesus ,christ1 but were eye  
witnesses of his majesty4 #a3ag;,for he 
received from ,god the ,father honor and
 glory1 when this voice was brought to  
him from the magnificent glory1 ,this is
 my beloved ,son1 in whom ,i am well    
pleased4 #a3ah;,and this voice we heard 
brought from heaven when we were with   
him on the holy mount4 #a3ai;,and we    
have the more sure prophetic word1 to   
which you will do well to attend1 as to 
a light shining in a dark place1 till   
the day dawns and the day-star arises in
 your hearts1 #a3bjknowing this first1  
that no prophecy of ,scripture is of its
 own solution4 #a3ba;,for prophecy was  
never brought by the will of man1 but   
moved by the ,holy ,spirit men spoke    
from ,god4  #d #b3a;,but there were also
 false prophets among the people1 as    
there shall also be false teachers among
 you1 who shall bring in by stealth     

destructive heresies1 even denying the  
master that bought them1 bringing on    
themselves swift destruction2 #b3b;and  
many shall follow their lewdness1 on    
account of whom the way of truth shall  
be reviled1 #b3c;and with covetousness  
they will make a gain of you with       
feigned words1 whose judgment a long    
time lingers not1 and their destruction 
slumbers not4 #b3d;,for if ,god spared  
not the angels that sinned1 but plunging
 them into ,tartarus delivered them up  
in chains to be kept in darkness till   
the judgment1 #b3e;and spared not the   
old world1 but preserved ,noah a        
preacher of righteousness1 with seven   
others1 bringing the flood on the world 
of the ungodly1 #b3f;and condemned      
,sodom and ,gomorrah to be overthrown1  
reducing them to ashes1 making them an  
example to those who should afterwards  
be wicked1 #b3g;and delivered righteous 
,lot1 vexed by the lewd conduct of the  
wicked2-- #b3h;for that righteous man   
living among them vexed his righteous   

soul from day to day by seeing and      
hearing their wicked deeds2-- #b3ithe   
,lord knows how to deliver the pious    
from trial1 and to keep the wicked to   
the day of judgment to be punished1     
#b3aj;but especially those who walk     
after the flesh1 in corrupt desires1 and
 despise government4 ,presumptuous1     
self-complacent1 they fear not to revile
 glories1 #b3aawhere the angels who are 
greater in strength and power do not    
bring against them a reproachful        
judgment2 #b3ab;but these1 like         
irrational animals1 brutes made to be   
taken and destroyed1 reviling things    
which they do not understand1 will also 
be destroyed in their depravity1 #b3ac  
receiving the wages of wickedness1      
accounting luxury in the day-time a     
pleasure1 spots and blemishes1 revelling
 in their deceptions while feasting with
 you1 #b3ad;having eyes full of an      
adulteress1 and unable to cease from    
sin1 enticing unstable souls1 having a  
heart exercised in covetousness1 cursed

forbade the madness of the prophet4  #e 
#b3ag,these are fountains without water1

themselves are servants of corruption2

world by a knowledge of the ,lord and

entangled and overcome by them1 the last
 state of those persons is worse than   
the first4  #b3ba;,for it is better for 
them not to have known the way of

turn from the holy commandment delivered

 the apostles of the ,lord and ,saviour1
 #c3c knowing this first1 that in the   
last days scoffers shall come with      
scoffing walking after their inordinate 
desires1 #c3d;and saying1 ,where is the 
promise of his coming8 for since the    
fathers fell asleep1 all things continue
 as they were from the beginning of the 
world4  #c3e;,for of this they are      
willingly ignorant1 that the heavens    
were of old1 and the earth was made of  
water and by water by the word of ,god1 

#c3f;by which the world that then was1  
being overflowed with water1 was        
destroyed4 #c3g;,but the present heavens
 and the earth have been preserved by   
his word1 being kept for fire1 at the   
day of the judgment and destruction of  
wicked men4  #b #c3h;,but let not this  
one thing escape you1 beloved1 that one 
day with the ,lord is as a thousand     
years1 and a thousand years as one day4 
#c3i,the ,lord is not slow in respect to
 his promise1 as some men account       
slowness1 but is long-suffering toward  
us1 not willing that any should perish1 
but that all should come to a change of 
mind4  #c #c3aj;,but the day of the     
,lord will come as a thief1 in which the
 heavens shall pass away with a crash1  
and the elements be melted with heat1   
and the earth and the works in it be    
consumed4  #c3aa;,all these things      
therefore being dissolved1 what persons 
ought we to be in holy conduct and      
piety1 #c3ab expecting and hastening the
 coming of the day of ,god1 in which the

 heavens being burnt up will be         
dissolved and the elements be melted    
with heat4 #c3ac;,but we1 according to  
his promise1 look for a new heaven and a
 new earth1 in which dwells             
righteousness4  #d #c3ad,wherefore1     
beloved1 looking for these things1 be   
diligent that you may be found in him   
without a spot and blemish1 in peace1   
#c3ae;and consider the long-suffering of
 the ,lord our salvation2 as also our   
beloved brother ,paul according to the  
wisdom given to him wrote to you1

some things hard to be understood1 which
 the unlearned and unstable wrest as

their destruction4 #c3ag;,do you        
therefore1 beloved1 knowing these things

 not1 #a3f and the angels who kept not  

their own province1 but left their

if our minds condemn us1 ,god is greater
 than our minds and knows all things4   
#ad #c3ba;,beloved1 if our minds do not 
condemn us1 we have boldness before     
,god1 #c3bb;and what we ask we receive  

from him1 because we keep his           
commandments and do the things which are
 pleasing in his sight4 #c3bc;,and this 
is his commandment2 that we should      
believe in the name of his ,son ,jesus  
,christ1 and love one another as he gave
 commandment4 #c3bd;,and he that keeps  
his commandments continues in him and he
 in him2 and by this we know that he    
continues in us1 by the ,spirit which he
 gave us4    ,,chapter ,,ii4  ,,false

the world4 #d3b;,by this you know the   
,spirit of ,god2 every spirit which     
confesses that ,jesus ,christ has come  
in the flesh is of ,god1 #d3c;and every 
spirit which does not confess ,jesus is 
not of ,god4 ,and this is the spirit of

that he is coming1 and he is now in the

them1 because greater is he that is in  
you than he that is in the world4       
#d3e,they are of the world2 therefore   
they speak of the world and the world   
hears them4 #d3f,we are of ,god2 he that
 knows ,god hears us1 he that is not of 
,god does not hear us4 ,by this we know 
the spirit of truth and the spirit of   
error4  #c #d3g;,beloved1 let us love   
one another1 for love is of ,god1 and   
every one that loves has been born of   
,god and knows ,god4 #d3h;,he that loves
 not has not known ,god2 for ,god is    
love4 #d3i,the love of ,god was         
manifested to us in this2 that ,god has 
sent his only ,son into the world that  
we may live through him4 #d3aj;,in this 
is love2 not that we loved ,god1 but    
that he loved us1 and sent his ,son a   
propitiation for our sins4  #d          
#d3aa;,beloved1 if ,god so loved us1 we 
ought also to love one another4 #d3ab   
,no one has ever seen ,god4 ,if we love 

one another1 ,god continues in us and   
his love is perfected in us4 #d3ac;,by  
this we know that we continue in him and
 he in us1 that he has given us of his  
,spirit4 #d3ad;,and we have seen and    
testify that the ,father has sent the   
,son1 the ,saviour of the world4        
#d3ae,whoever confesses that ,jesus is  
the ,son of ,god1 ,god continues in him 
and he in ,god4 #d3af;,and we have known
 and believed the love which ,god has   
for us4 ,god is love2 and he that       
continues in love continues in ,god and 
,god in him4  #e #d3ag;,by this is love 
perfected with us1 that we may have     
boldness in the day of judgment1 that as
 he is we also are in this world4       
#d3ah,there is no fear in love2 but     
perfect love casts out fear2 for fear   
has pain2 and he that is afraid is not  
made perfect in love4 #d3ai,we love1    
because he first loved us4  #d3bj ,if   
any one says1 ,i love ,god1 and hates   
his brother1 he is a liar2 for he that  
loves not his brother whom he has seen1 

how can he love ,god whom he has not    
seen8 #d3ba;,and we have this           
commandment from him1 that he who loves 
,god should also love his brother4  #f  
#e3a;,every one who believes that ,jesus
 is the ,christ has been born of ,god1  
and every one who loves the ,father     
loves also the ,son who is born to him4 
#e3b ,by this we know that we love the  
children of ,god1 when we love ,god and 
keep his commandments4  #e3c;,for this  
is the love of ,god1 that we keep his   
commandments2 and his commandments are  
not grievous2 #e3d;for every child that 
has been born of ,god overcomes the     
world2 and this is the victory which    
overcomes the world1 our faith4 #e3e,who
 is he that overcomes the world1 but he 
that believes that ,jesus is the ,son of
 ,god8  #g #e3f,this is he that came by 
water and blood1 ,jesus1 the ,christ2   
not by water only1 but by water and by  
blood2 and the ,spirit is that which    
testifies1 for the ,spirit is the truth4
  #e3g;,for there are three that        

testify2 the ,spirit1 and the water1 and
 the blood2 and the three are one4      
#e3i;,if we receive the testimony of    
men1 the testimony of ,god is greater2  
for this is the testimony of ,god that  
he has testified concerning his ,son4   
#e3aj;,he that believes on the ,son of  
,god has the testimony in himself2 he   
that believes not ,god has made him a   
liar1 because he has not believed in the
 testimony which ,god has testified     
concerning his ,son4 #e3aa;,and this is 
the testimony1 that ,god gave us eternal
 life1 and this life is in his ,son4    
#e3ab;,he that has the ,son has the     
life2 he that has not the ,son has not  
the life4  #h #e3ac,these things have ,i
 written to you1 that you who believe in
 the name of the ,son of ,god may know  
that you have eternal life4 #e3ad;,and  
this is the confidence which we have in 
respect to him1 that if we ask any thing
 according to his will he hears us4     
#e3ae;,and if we know that he hears us  
whatever we ask1 we know that we have   

the petitions which we have asked of    
him4  #e3af;,if any one sees his brother
 commit a sin1 not to death1 he shall   
ask1 and he will give him life1 for     
those who sin not to death4 ,there is a 
sin to death2 ,i say not that you should
 pray for it4 #e3ag;,all wickedness is  
sin1 and there is sin not to death4  #i 
#e3ah,we know that every one who has    
been born of ,god does not sin1 but he  
that has been born of ,god keeps        
himself1 and the evil one does not touch
 him4 #e3ai,we know that we are of ,god1
 and the whole world lies in wickedness4
 #e3bj;,and we know that the ,son of    
,god has come1 and has given us         
understanding that we may know the true

,,the ,,son ,,of ,,god ,,superior ,,to

#a3a;,,god1 who at many times and in    
many ways spoke anciently to the fathers
 by the prophets1 #a3b;in these last    
days spoke to us by his ,son1 whom he   
appointed heir of all things1 through   
whom also he made the worlds1 #a3cwho   
being the brightness of his glory and   
the express image of his substance1 and 
sustaining all things by the word of his

 power1 having made a purification of   
sins1 sat down on the right hand of the 
majesty on high1 #a3d;being made as much
 greater than the angels as he has      
inherited a more excellent name than    
they4 #a3e;,for to which of the angels  
said he at any time1 ,you are my ,son1  
to-day have ,i begotten you8 ,and again1
 ,i will be to him a ,father and he     
shall be to me a ,son8 #a3f;,and again1 
when he brings the first-born into the  
world he says1 ,and let all the angels  
of ,god worship him4 #a3g;,and of the   
angels he says1 ,who makes his angels   
winds1 and his ministers a flame of     
fire2 #a3h;but of the ,son1 ,thy throne1
 ,god1 is forever and ever2 the sceptre 
of thy kingdom is a sceptre of          
rectitude4 #a3i,thou hast loved         
righteousness and hated wickedness2     
therefore ,god1 thy ,god1 anointed thee 
with the oil of gladness above thy      
companions4 #a3aj;,and thou1 ,lord1 in  
the beginning didst build from its      
foundations the earth1 and the heavens  

are works of thy hands2 #a3aathey shall 
perish1 but thou shalt continue2 and    
they shall all become old like a        
garment1 #a3ab;and like a mantle thou   
shalt fold them up1 and they shall be   
changed1 but thou art the same and thy  
years shall not fail4  #a3ac;,and to    
which of the angels said he at any time1
 ,sit on my right hand till ,i make thy 
enemies thy footstool8 #a3ad;,are they  
not all ministering spirits1 sent forth 
to serve on account of those who are    
about to inherit salvation8  #b #b3a,we 
ought therefore to attend the more to   
the things which we heard1 lest at any  
time we should glide away from them4    
#b3b;,for if the word spoken by angels  
was firm1 and every transgression and   
disobedience received a just recompense1
 #b3c;how shall we escape who have      
neglected so great a salvation8  which  
began to be spoken by the ,lord1 and was
 affirmed to us by those who heard1     
#b3d;,god bearing them witness with     
signs and prodigies1 and various mighty 

works and gifts of the holy ,spirit1    
according to his will4  #c #b3e;,for he 
did not subject to angels the world to  
come1 of which we speak4 #b3f;,but one  
somewhere testified1 saying1 ,what is   
man that thou art mindful of him1 or a  
son of man that thou visitest him8      
#b3g,thou didst make him a little lower 
than angels1 thou didst crown him with  
glory and honor1 #b3hthou didst subject 
all things under his feet4 ,for in      
subjecting all things to him1 he left   
nothing not subjected to him4 ,but now  
we do not yet see all things subjected  
to him4 #b3i;,but we see ,jesus1 made a 
little less than angels1 on account of  
the suffering of death crowned with     
glory and honor1 that by the grace of   
,god he should taste death for every    
man4 #b3aj;,for it became him1 for whom 
are all things and through whom are all 
things1 to perfect by sufferings the    
prince of their salvation1 bringing many
 sons to glory4 #b3aa;,for both he that 
sanctifies and the sanctified are all of

 one2 for which cause he is not ashamed 
to call them brothers1 #b3absaying1 ,i  
will declare thy name to my brothers1 in
 the midst of the assembly will ,i sing 
to thee4 #b3ac;,and again1 ,i will trust
 in him4 ,and again1 ,behold me and the 
children which ,god gave me4 #b3ad,since
 then the children have partaken of     
blood and flesh1 he in like manner also 
partook of them1 that through death he  
might destroy him that has the power of 
death1 that is the devil1 #b3ae;and     
liberate those who all their life were  
subjects of servitude to the fear of    
death4  #b3af;,for indeed he helped not 
angels1 but he helped the descendants of
 ,abraham4 #b3ag,whence he ought in all 
things to be assimilated to the         
brothers1 that he may be a merciful and 
faithful chief priest as to things      
relating to ,god1 to make propitiation  
for the sins of the people4 #b3ah;,for  
because he has himself suffered1 having 
been tried1 he is able to help the      
tried4  #d #c3a,whence1 holy brothers1  

partakers of the heavenly call1 consider
 the apostle and chief priest of our    
profession1 ,jesus1 #c3bwho is faithful 
to him that appointed him1 as also      
,moses was in his house4 #c3c;,for this 
man is judged worthy of more glory than 
,moses1 as much as he has more honor    
than the house tabernacle which he      
built4 #c3d;,for every house is built by
 some one2 but he that built all things 
is ,god4 #c3e;,and ,moses indeed was    
faithful in all his house1 as a servant1
 for a testimony of things to be spoken2
 #c3f;but ,christ as a son over his     
house1 whose house are we1 if we hold   
fast the confidence and rejoicing of the
 hope4  #e #c3g,wherefore1 as the ,holy 
,spirit says1 ,to-day if you will hear  
his voice1 #c3h;harden not your hearts  
as in the provocation1 in the day of the
 trial in the wilderness1 #c3iwhere your
 fathers fully proved and saw my works  
forty years4 #c3aj,wherefore ,i was     
displeased with that generation and     
said1 ,they always err in mind1 and they

 did not know my ways1 #c3aaso ,i swore 
in my wrath1 ,they shall not enter into 
my rest4 #c3ab,see1 brothers1 that there
 be not at any time in any one of you an
 evil mind of unbelief in departing from
 the living ,god2 #c3ac;but exhort one  
another daily1 while it is called       
to-day1 that no one of you may be       
hardened by the deception of sin2       
#c3ad;for we have been made partakers of
 ,christ1 if we hold the beginning of   
the confidence firm to the end4         
#c3ae;,it was said1 ,to-day if you will 
hear his voice1 harden not your hearts  
as in the provocation2 #c3af;for who    
having heard committed provocation8 ,did
 not all indeed who came out of ,egypt  
with ,moses8  #c3ag;,and with whom was  
he displeased forty years8 ,was it not  
with those that sinned8 whose bodies    
fell in the wilderness8  #c3ah;,and to  
whom did he swear that they should not  
enter into his rest8 was it not to them 
that disobeyed8 #c3ai;,and we see that  
they could not enter in because of      

unbelief4  #f #d3a,let us fear1         
therefore1 lest at any time a promise   
being left us of entering into his rest1
 any one of you should seem to come     
short4 #d3b;,for we have also received  
the good news as they did2 but the word 
of the report did not profit them1 not  
being accompanied with faith in those   
who heard4 #d3c;,for we enter into the  
rest who believed1 as he said1 ,i swore 
in my wrath that they shall not enter   
into my rest1 although of works made    
from the foundation of the world4       
#d3d;,for he spoke in a certain place of
 the seventh day1 thus2 ,and ,god rested
 on the seventh day from all his works4 
#d3e;,and in this place again1 ,they    
shall not enter into my rest4 #d3f,since
 then it remains that some entered into 
it1 and those to whom it was first      
preached entered not in on account of   
unbelief1 #d3g;again he defines a       
certain day1 ,to-day1 saying in ,david1 
after so long a time1 as it was said    
before1 ,to-day if you will hear his    

voice1 harden not your hearts4          
#d3h;,for if ,joshua caused them to rest
 he would not have spoken of another day
 afterwards4  #g #d3i,therefore a       
sabbatism remains for the people of     
,god4  #d3aj;,for he ,christ who entered
 into his rest1 also himself rested from
 his works1 as ,god from his4  #h       
#d3aa,let us use diligence1 therefore to
 enter into that rest the heavenly rest1
 that no one may fall1 after the same   
example of disobedience4 #d3ab;,for the 
word of ,god is living1 and effective1  
and sharper than any two-edged sword1   
and reaching even to the division of    
soul and spirit1 and of joints and      
marrows1 and distinguishes thoughts and 
intentions of mind2 #d3ac;and there is  
nothing which is not manifest in his    
sight2 for all things are naked and     
exposed to his eyes1 to whom our        
discourse relates4    ,,chapter ,,ii4   
,,christ ,a ,,chief ,,priest ,,after    
,,the ,,order ,,of ,,melchisedec4  #a   
#d3ad;,,having therefore a great chief  

priest who has gone through the heavens1
 ,jesus1 the ,son of ,god1 let us hold  
fast the profession4 #d3ae;,for we have 
not a chief priest who cannot sympathise
 with our infirmities1 but one tried in 
all respects as we are1 without sin4    
#d3af,let us therefore approach with    
boldness the throne of grace1 that we   
may obtain mercy and find grace for     
timely aid4  #b #e3a;,for every chief   
priest taken from men is appointed in   
behalf of men over things relating to   
,god1 that he may offer gifts and       
sacrifices for sins1 #e3b being able to 
deal gently with the ignorant and       
erring1 since he is himself encompassed 
with infirmity1 #e3c;and as for the     
people1 so also for himself1 he is      
obliged to present offerings for sins4  
#e3d;,and no one takes the honor on     
himself but he that is called by ,god1  
even as ,aaron also was4 #e3e,so also   
,christ did not put on himself the honor
 of being made a chief priest1 but he   
that said to him1 ,thou art my ,son1    

to-day have ,i begotten thee2 #e3f;as   
also in another place he says1 ,thou art
 a priest for ever after the order of   
,melchisedec4 #e3g,who in the days of   
his flesh having offered both prayers   
and supplications to him that was able  
to save him from death1 with loud cries 
and tears1 and being heard and delivered
 from fear1-- #e3h;although he was a    
,son1 learned obedience from what he    
suffered1 #e3i;and being made perfect   
became to all who obey him an author of 
eternal salvation1 #e3aj;being called by
 ,god a chief priest after the order of 
,melchisedec4  #c #e3aa;,concerning whom
 we have much to say1 and that which is 
difficult to explain1 because you have  
become dull of hearing4 #e3ab;,for you  
who ought on account of the time to be  
teachers1 have need that one should     
teach you again what are the first      
rudiments of the oracles of ,god1 and   
have need of milk and not solid food4   
#e3ac;,for every one that partakes of   
milk is unskilful in the word of        

righteousness1 for he is a babe2        
#e3ad;but solid food is for the perfect1
 having their perceptive faculties      
exercised by practice to distinguish    
both good and evil4  #d #f3a,wherefore  
leaving the account of the beginning of 
,christ1 let us go on to perfection1 not
 laying again the foundation of a change
 of mind from dead works1 and of faith  
in ,god1 #f3bof baptisms taught1 and the
 imposition of hands1 and of the        
resurrection of the dead1 and of the    
eternal judgment4 #f3c ,and this we will
 do if ,god permits4 #f3d;,for those    
once enlightened and having tasted of   
the heavenly gift and been made         
partakers of the ,holy ,spirit1 #f3e and
 having tasted of the good word of ,god 
and the powers of the life to come1     
#f3f;and having fallen away1 it is      
impossible again to renew to a change of
 mind1 they having crucified again and  
exposed to shame the ,son of ,god4      
#f3g;,but the land which drinks in the  
rain that often falls on it1 and        

produces plants beneficial to those by  
whom it is cultivated1 receives a       
blessing from ,god2 #f3h;but that which 
produces thorns and thistles is         
disapproved1 and is nigh to a curse1 the
 end of which is to be burned4  #e      
#f3i;,but we are persuaded better things
 of you1 beloved1 and things pertaining 
to salvation1 though we thus speak4     
#f3aj;,for ,god is not unjust1 to forget
 your work1 and the love which you      
showed for his name1 having served the  
saints and still serving them4          
#f3aa;,but we desire each of you to show
 the same diligence to the full         
assurance of hope to the end1 #f3abthat 
you be not stupid1 but followers of     
those who through faith and patience    
inherit the promises4 #f3ac;,for ,god   
haying promised ,abraham1 when he could 
not swear by a greater1 swore by        
himself1 #f3adsaying1 ,surely1 blessing 
,i will bless you1 and multiplying ,i   
will multiply you2 #f3ae;and so having  
waited long he obtained the promise4    

#f3af;,for men indeed swear by a        
greater1 and an oath for confirmation is
 to them an end of all dispute2         
#f3ag;for which cause1 ,god wishing more
 abundantly to show to the heirs of the 
promise the immutability of his purpose1
 interposed with an oath1 #f3ahthat by  
two immutable things1 in which it is    
impossible for ,god to lie1 we might    
have strong consolation1 who fled to lay
 hold on the hope set before us1        
#f3aiwhich we have as an anchor of the  
soul1 sure and firm1 and entering within
 the vail1 #f3bjwhere our forerunner    
,jesus entered1 made after the order of 
,melchisedec a chief priest forever4  #f
 #g3a;,for this ,melchisedec1 king of   
,salem1 priest of the most high ,god1   
who met ,abraham as he returned from the
 slaughter of the kings and blessed him1
 #g3bto whom also ,abraham gave a tenth 
of all1 first being interpreted king of 
righteousness1 and then also king of    
,salem1 which is king of peace1 #g3c    
without father1 without mother1 without 

genealogy1 having neither a beginning of
 days nor end of life1 but being made   
like the ,son of ,god1 continues a      
priest forever4  #g #g3d;,and behold1   
how great this man was1 to whom even    
,abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of  
the spoils4 #g3e;,and the sons of ,levi 
who receive the priesthood1 have a      
commandment to tithe the people         
according to the law1 that is their     
brothers1 although descended from       
,abraham2 #g3f;but he whose descent is  
not reckoned from them received tithes  
of ,abraham1 and blessed him who has the
 promises4 #g3g;,but beyond all         
contradiction1 the less is blessed by   
the greater4 #g3h;,and here1 men who die
 receive tithes1 but there1 one of whom 
it is testified that he lives4 #g3i;,and
 so to speak1 ,levi also who receives   
tithes paid tithes through ,abraham2    
#g3aj;for he was yet in his father when 
,melchisedec met him4  #h #g3aa;,if     
therefore there was perfection through  
the ,levitical priesthood1--for the     

people received the law under it1--what 
need was there that another priest      
should arise after the order of         
,melchisedec and not to be called after 
the order of ,aaron8  #g3ab;,for the    
priesthood being changed1 of necessity  
also there is made a change of the law4 
#g3ac;,for he of whom these things are  
said belonged to another tribe1 of which
 no one attended to the altar2 #g3ad for
 it is evident that our ,lord arose from
 ,judah1 in respect to which tribe      
,moses said nothing concerning priests4 
#g3ae;,and moreover1 this is still      
further evident1 if another priest is   
raised up according to the likeness of  
,melchisedec1 #g3afwho was not a priest 
after the law of an external            
commandment1 but after the power of     
imperishable life4  #g3ag;,for it is    
testified1 ,thou art a priest forever1  
after the order of ,melchisedec4        
#g3ah;,for there is an abrogation of the
 commandment which goes before1 on      
account of its weakness and             

unprofitableness2 #g3ai;for the law made
 nothing perfect1 but was the           
introduction of a better hope through   
which we draw nigh to ,god4 #g3bj;,and  
as he was not constituted without       
swearing1-- #g3ba;for they were made    
priests without swearing1 but he with   
swearing by him who says to him1 ,the   
,lord swore1 and he will not change1    
,you are a priest forever2-- #g3bb;by so
 much is ,jesus the pledge of a better  
covenant4 #g3bc;,and they indeed were   
made many priests1 on account of being  
forbidden by death to continue2         
#g3bd;but he1 on account of his         
continuing for ever1 has a priesthood   
which passes not away1 #g3bewhence also 
he is able to save forever those who    
come to ,god through him1 always living 
to intercede for them4  #i #g3bf;,for   
such a chief priest also was suitable   
for us1 holy1 harmless1 undefiled1      
separated from sinners1 and made higher 
than the heavens1 #g3bgwho has no need  
daily as the chief priests first to     

present sacrifices for their sins1 then 
for those of the people2 for this he did
 once for all1 having offered himself4  
#g3bh;,for the law constitutes men chief
 priests having infirmity1 but the word 
of the oath which is after the law the  
,son made perfect forever4    ,,chapter 
,,iii4  ,,christ ,,the ,,author ,,of ,a 
,,new ,,covenant ,,and ,,of ,,its       
,,blessings4  #a #h3a;,,but the chief   
thing in addition to what has been said 
is1 that we have such a chief priest who
 sat on the right hand of the throne of 
the majesty in the heavens1 #h3b;a      
minister of the sanctuary1 and of the   
true tabernacle1 which the ,lord set up1
 not man4 #h3c;,for every chief priest  
is constituted to offer gifts and       
sacrifices1 whence it was necessary that
 this man also should have something to 
offer4 #h3d;,for if he had been on earth
 he would not have been a priest1 there 
being priests to offer1 the gifts       
according to the law1 #h3ewho serve for 
a symbol and shadow of heavenly things1 

as ,moses was divinely instructed when  
about to make the tabernacle2 for see1  
he says1 that you make all things after 
the pattern shown you in the ,mount2    
#h3f;but now he has obtained a more     
excellent service1 by as much also as he
 is the mediator of a better covenant1  
which is established on better promises4
  #b #h3g;,for if that first covenant   
had been faultless1 no place would have 
been sought for the second4 ,but it was 
not4 #h3h;,for finding fault with them  
he says1 ,behold1 the days come1 says   
the ,lord1 that ,i will make with the   
house of ,israel and the house of       
,judah1 a new covenant1 #h3inot         
according to the covenant which ,i made 
with their fathers1 in the day that ,i  
took them by the hand to lead them out  
of ,egypt1 for they continued not in my 
covenant1 and ,i neglected them1 says   
the ,lord4  #h3aj,this is the covenant  
that ,i will make with the house of     
,israel after those days1 says the      
,lord2 ,i will put my laws in their     

minds1 and will write them in their     
hearts1 and ,i will be to them a ,god1  
and they shall be to me a people4       
#h3aa;,and they shall not teach every   
one his fellow citizen1 and every one   
his brother1 saying1 ,know the ,lord1   
for all shall know me1 from the least to
 the greatest of them4 #h3ab;,for ,i    
will be merciful to their wickedness1   
and their sins and transgressions will  
,i remember no more4 #h3ac;,by saying   
new1 he made the first old2 but that    
which is ancient and weak is about to   
perish4  #c #i3a,the first covenant then
 had ordinances of divine service and a 
worldly sanctuary4 #i3b;,for the first  
tabernacle was provided1 in which were  
the candlestick and the table and the   
show bread1 which is called the         
sanctuary4 #i3c;,but behind the second  
vail is the tabernacle1 called the inner
 sanctuary1 #i3d;having the golden      
censer and the ark of the covenant      
overlaid on every side with gold1 in    
which were the golden vase that had the 

manna and ,aaron's rod that budded and  
the tables of the covenant1 #i3e;and    
over it were the cherubs of glory1      
overshadowing the propitiation2 of which
 it is not necessary now to speak       
particularly4  #d #i3f;,and these being 
thus provided1 the priests enter into   
the first tabernacle continually1       
performing the services1 #i3g;but into  
the second once a year only the chief   
priest enters1 not without blood1 which 
he offers for his errors and those of   
the people1 #i3hthe ,holy ,spirit       
showing this1 that the way into the     
sanctuary is not made manifest while the
 first tabernacle yet has a standing1   
#i3iwhich is a type of the time at hand1
 in which gifts and sacrifices are      
offered that cannot perfect the         
worshipper as to the conscience1        
#i3ajonly in meats and drinks and       
different baptisms1 and external        
ordinances1 imposed till the time of    
reformation4  #e #i3aa;,but ,christ     
having come1 a chief priest of the good 

times that were to come1 with a greater 
and a more perfect tabernacle not made  
with hands1 that is1 not of this        
creation1 #i3abnot with blood of goats  
and bullocks1 but with his own blood1   
entered once into the sanctuary having  
found eternal redemption4  #i3ac;,for if
 the blood of bulls and goats1 and the  
ashes of a heifer1 sprinkling the       
defiled1 sanctifies to the purification 
of the flesh1 #i3ad;how much more shall 
the blood of ,christ1 who with an       
eternal spirit offered himself without  
fault to ,god1 purify your conscience   
from dead works to serve the living     
,god4  #f #i3ae;,and for this cause he  
is the mediator of the new covenant1    
that death having been for a redemption 
of transgressions transgressors under   
the first covenant1 the called might    
receive the promise of the eternal      
inheritance4  #i3af;,for where there is 
a covenant1 there must follow the death 
of the covenant-maker4 #i3ag;,for a     
covenant is strong for the dead1 since  

it is never strong unalterable when the 
covenant-maker lives2 #i3ahwhence also  
the first covenant was not initiated    
without blood4 #i3ai;,for every         
commandment of the law having been      
spoken by ,moses to all the people1     
taking the blood of bullocks and goats  
with water and scarlet wool and hyssop1 
he sprinkled both the book itself and   
all the people1 #i3bjsaying1 ,this is   
the blood of the covenant which ,god has
 enjoined upon you4 #i3ba;,and he       
sprinkled also the tabernacle1 and all  
the implements of the service1 in like  
manner1 with blood4 #i3bb;,and almost   
all things1 according to the law1 are   
purified with blood1 and without the    
pouring out of blood there is no        
forgiveness4  #g #i3bc;,it was          
necessary1 therefore1 that the symbols  
of things in the heavens should be      
purified with these1 but the heavenly   
things themselves with better sacrifices
 than these4 #i3bd;,for ,christ did not 
enter into the sanctuary made with      

hands1 a type of the true1 but into     
heaven itself1 and already has appeared 
before ,god for us1 #i3benot that he may
 often present himself1 as the chief    
priest enters into the sanctuary once a 
year with the blood of another being2   
#i3bfsince it was necessary that it     
should suffer often from the foundation 
of the world1 but now once at the       
consummation of the world he has been   
manifested to destroy sins by the       
sacrifice of himself4 #i3bg;,and as it  
is appointed to men once to die1 but    
after this is the judgment1 #i3bhso also
 ,christ having been once offered to    
bear the sins of many1 shall appear a   
second time without sin1 to those who   
look for him for salvation4  #h         
#aj3a;,for the law having a shadow of   
the good things that were to come1 not  
the very likeness of the things1 could  
not by the sacrifices which they offered
 continually every year perfect the     
offerers2 #aj3b;if they could1 would    
they not have ceased to be offered1     

because those serving would have had no 
longer a knowledge of sins1 having been 
once purified8 #aj3c;,but in them there 
was a remembrance of sins1 year by year2
 #aj3d;for it is impossible that the    
blood of bulls and goats should take    
away sins4 #aj3e,wherefore1 coming into 
the world1 he says1 ,a sacrifice and    
offering thou didst not desire1 but a   
body didst thou prepare me4 #aj3f,whole 
burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin  
thou wast not pleased with2 #aj3gthen ,i
 said1 ,behold1 ,i come1--in the volume 
of the book it is written of me1--to do 
thy will1 ,o ,god4 #aj3h,saying before1 
,sacrifices and offerings and whole     
burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin  
thou didst not desire and wast not      
pleased with1 which are offered         
according to the law1 #aj3i then he     
said1 ,behold1 ,i come to do thy will4  
,he takes away the first1 that he may   
establish the second1 #aj3aj;by which   
will we have been sanctified through the
 offering of the body of ,jesus ,christ1

 once for all4  #i #aj3aa;,and every    
priest stood daily performing service   
and presenting often the same           
sacrifices1 which can never take away   
sins2 #aj3ab;but this priest having     
offered one sacrifice forever for sins1 
sat down on the right hand of ,god1     
#aj3ac;henceforth waiting till his      
enemies are made his footstool4 #aj3ad  
,for by one offering he has perfected   
forever the sanctified4 #aj3ae,the ,holy
 ,spirit also testifies this to us2 for 
after it had said before1 #aj3af,this is
 the covenant which ,i will make with   
them after those days1 the ,lord says1  
,i will put my laws in their hearts1 and
 in their minds will ,i write them1     
#aj3ag and their sins and transgressions
 will ,i remember no more4 #aj3ah;,but  
where there is a forgiveness of these1  
an offering for sin is no longer        
required4    ,,chapter ,,iv4  ,,the     
,,contemplation ,,of ,,christ1 ,,faith  
,,and ,,its ,,martyrs4  #a              
#aj3ai;,,having therefore1 brothers1    

confidence in respect to the entrance   
into the sanctuary by the blood of      
,jesus1 #aj3bjwhich entrance he         
consecrated for us a new and living way 
through the vail1 that is his flesh1    
#aj3ba;and having a great priest over   
the house of ,god1 #aj3bblet us approach
 with a true heart in a full assurance  
of faith1 sprinkled in heart from an    
evil conscience1 and washed in body with
 pure water1 #aj3bclet us hold firmly   
the profession of the faith1 without    
declining2 for he is faithful that      
promised2 #aj3bd;and let us observe one 
another for a provocation of love and of
 good works1 #aj3benot forsaking our own
 congregation as some are in the habit  
of doing1 but exhorting others1 and so  
much the more as you see the day        
approaching4  #b #aj3bf;,for if we sin  
willingly after having received the     
knowledge of the truth1 there is no     
longer a sacrifice left for sins1       
#aj3bg;but a fearful expectation of     
judgment and fiery indignation1 which is

 about to consume the adversaries4      
#aj3bh;,any one who despised the law of 
,moses died without mercy by two or     
three witnesses2 #aj3biof how much      
greater punishment do you suppose he    
will be thought worthy1 who has trodden 
down the ,son of ,god1 and accounted    
defiled the blood of the covenant with  
which he was purified1 and treated      
injuriously the ,spirit of grace4       
#aj3cj;,for we know him that said1      
,judgment belongs to me1 ,i will repay4 
,and again1 ,the ,lord will judge his   
people4 #aj3ca ,it is fearful to fall   
into the hands of the living ,god4  #c  
#aj3cb;,but remember the former days1 in
 which having been enlightened you      
endured a great conflict with           
sufferings1 #aj3ccpartly in being made a
 spectacle by reproaches and            
afflictions1 and partly being companions
 of those so treated4  #aj3cd;,for you  
sympathized with those in bonds1 and    
received with joy the plunder of your   
property1 knowing that you have for     

yourselves a better possession1 and one 
that endures4 #aj3ce;,cast not away     
therefore your confidence1 which has a  
great reward4  #aj3cf;,for you have need
 of patience1 that having done the will 
of ,god you may receive the promise4    
#aj3cg;,for yet a very little while1 and
 he that is to come will come and will  
not delay2 #aj3ch but my righteous one  
shall live by faith1 and if he draws    
back my soul takes no pleasure in him4  
#aj3ci;,but we are not of those who draw
 back to perdition1 but of faith to the 
saving of the soul4  #d #aa3a;,but faith
 is a confidence in respect to things   
hoped for1 a conviction of things not   
seen4 #aa3b;,for by it the ancients     
obtained a good repute4 #aa3c ,we know  
by faith that the worlds were made by   
the word of ,god1 that the seen was not 
made from the apparent4 #aa3d;,by faith 
,abel offered to ,god a greater         
sacrifice than ,cain1 through which he  
was declared to be righteous1 ,god      
testifying to his gifts1 and through the

 same1 having died1 he speaks still4    
#aa3e;,by faith ,enoch was translated   
without seeing death1 and was not found 
because ,god translated him4 ,for before
 the translation he was said to have    
pleased ,god2 #aa3f;but without faith it
 is impossible to please2 for he that   
comes to ,god1 must believe that he is  
and that he is a rewarder of those that 
seek him4  #e #aa3g;,by faith ,noah     
having been divinely instructed         
concerning things not yet seen1 fearing 
built the ark for the salvation of his  
house1 by which he condemned the world1 
and became an heir of the righteousness 
by faith4  #f #aa3h;,by faith ,abraham  
being called obeyed and went out to a   
place which he was to receive for an    
inheritance1 and went out not knowing   
where he was going4 #aa3i;,by faith he  
resided temporarily in the land of      
promise1 as in a foreign land1 living in
 tents1 with ,isaac and ,jacob1 co-heirs
 of the same promise2 #aa3aj;for he     
looked for the city which has           

foundations fixed abodes whose designer 
and builder is ,god4 #aa3aa;,by faith   
also ,sarah herself received power to   
become a mother1 even beyond the usual  
age1 because she regarded him faithful  
that promised4  #aa3ab,wherefore also   
there were born of one1 and those of one
 dead1 a posterity like the stars of    
heaven for multitude1 and like the sands
 on the sea-shore innumerable4  #g      
#aa3ac;,all these died in faith not     
having received the promises1 but having
 seen and saluted them from a distance1 
and having professed that they were     
foreigners and strangers on the earth4  
#aa3ad;,for those who say such things   
show that they seek a native country4   
#aa3ae;,and if they had remembered that 
country from which they went out1 they  
would have had opportunity to return2   
#aa3af;but now they seek a better1 that 
is a heavenly country4 ,wherefore ,god  
is not ashamed of them to be called     
their ,god2 for he has prepared for them
 a city4  #h #aa3ag;,by faith ,abraham  

when tried offered ,isaac1 and he that  
received the promises offered his only  
son1 #aa3ahof whom it was said1 ,in     
,isaac shall your posterity be called1  
#aa3ai;judging that ,god was able to    
raise even from the dead2 whence also in
 a figure he received him4 #aa3bj;,by   
faith also ,isaac blessed ,jacob and    
,esau in respect to things to come4     
#aa3ba;,by faith ,jacob dying1 blessed  
each of the sons of ,joseph and         
worshipped leaning on the top of his    
staff4 #aa3bb;,by faith ,joseph at the  
close of life made mention of the exodus
 of the children of ,israel and gave    
charge concerning his bones4  #i        
#aa3bc;,by faith ,moses when he was born
 was hid three months by his parents1   
because they saw that the child was     
beautiful1 and they feared not the      
command of the king4 #aa3bd;,by faith   
,moses when he became a man refused to  
be called a son of ,pharaoh's daughter1 
#aa3be;choosing rather to suffer        
affliction with the people of ,god1 than

 to have an enjoyment of sin for a time1
 #aa3bf;judging the reproach of ,christ 
greater riches than the treasures of    
,egypt2 for he had respect to the       
reward4 #aa3bg;,by faith he left ,egypt1
 not having feared the displeasure of   
the king2 for he endured as seeing him  
that is invisible4 #aa3bh ,by faith he  
observed the passover and the pouring   
out of blood1 that the destroyer of the 
first-born might not touch them4        
#aa3bi;,by faith they passed through the
 ,red ,sea as through dry land1 which   
the ,egyptians attempting were swallowed
 up4 #aa3cj;,by faith the walls of      
,jericho fell down when they had been   
surrounded seven days4 #aa3ca;,by faith 
,rahab the harlot escaped destruction   
with the disobedient1 having received   
the spies in peace4  #aj #aa3cb;,and why
 should ,i say more8 ,for time would    
fail me to relate of ,gideon and ,barak1

trial of mockings and scourges1 and     
besides of bonds and imprisonment2

world was not worthy1 wandering in      
deserts and mountains1 and in caves and 
openings of the earth4  #aa3ci;,and none
 of these who became martyrs through    
faith received the promise1 #aa3dj;,god 
having provided something better for us1

 that they without us should not be made
 perfect4  #aa #ab3a,therefore also we1 
having so great a cloud of witnesses    
lying around us1 laying aside every     
impediment and sin which entirely       
surrounds us1 let us run with patience  
the race set before us1 #ab3blooking to 
the chief guide and perfecter of the    
faith1 ,jesus1 who for the joy set      
before him despised the shame and       
endured the cross1 and sat down on the  
right hand of ,god4  #ab3c;,for consider
 him that has endured such a            
contradiction from sinners1 that you may
 not become faint and weary in your

  #a #ab3d,you have not yet resisted to 
blood contending against sin4 #ab3e;,and
 you have forgotten the exhortation     
which says to you as to sons1 ,my son1  
despise not the correction of the ,lord 
and faint not when rebuked by him1      
#ab3f;for the ,lord corrects those whom 

he loves1 and chastises every son whom  
he receives4  #ab3g;,if you endure      
correction1 ,god deals with you as sons2
 for what son is there whom his father  
does not correct8 #ab3h;,but if you are 
without correction of which all are     
partakers1 then you are of foreign      
birth1 and not sons4 #ab3i ,moreover1 we
 have had fathers of our flesh who      
corrected us and we respected them2     
shall we not much more be subject to the
 ,father of spirits and live8           
#ab3aj;,for they for a few days         
corrected us as seemed good to them1 but
 he for the best1 that we may partake of
 his holiness4 #ab3aa;,and no correction
 seems to be joyful for the present but 
painful1 but afterwards it yields the   
peaceful fruit of righteousness to those
 exercised by it4  #b #ab3ab,wherefore  
hold up the hands that hang down1 and   
the feeble knees1 #ab3ac;and make       
straight courses for your feet1 that the
 lame may not be turned out of the way1 
but may rather be healed4 #ab3ad;,follow

 peace with all men and holiness1       
without which no one shall see the      
,lord1 #ab3aetaking care that no one may
 come short of the grace of ,god1 that  
no root of bitterness springing up may  
make trouble and by it many be defiled1 
#ab3afthat no one may be a fornicator or
 unholy person like ,esau1 who for one  
meal sold his birthright4 #ab3ag;,for   
you know that afterwards1 wishing also  
to inherit the blessing1 he was         
rejected2 for he found no place for a   
change of mind1 though he sought it with
 tears4 #ab3ah;,for you have not come to
 a mountain that may be touched1 and to 
a burning fire1 and blackness and       
darkness and a tempest #ab3ai;and the   
sound of a trumpet and the voice of     
words1 which those who heard desired    
that the word might not be spoken to    
them any more1-- #ab3bj;for they could  
not bear what was commanded1 ,and if a  
beast touches the mountain it shall be  
stoned2 #ab3ba;and so fearful was the   
sight1 that ,moses said1 ,i fear and    

tremble1-- #ab3bb;but you have come to  
,zion1 the mountain and city of the     
living ,god1 the heavenly ,jerusalem1   
and to myriads of angels in general     
assembly1 #ab3bc;and to the church of   
the first-born who are enrolled in      
heaven1 and to a judge the ,god of all1 
and to spirits of the righteous made    
perfect1 #ab3bd;and to ,jesus the       
mediator of the new covenant1 and to a  
sprinkled blood which speaks better than
 ,abel4  #c #ab3be,see that you refuse  
not him that speaks2 for if they did not
 escape who refused him that gave       
answers on earth1 much more shall we not
 escape who turn ourselves away from him
 in heaven2 #ab3bfwhose voice then shook
 the earth1 but now it has been         
promised1 saying1 ,hereafter once for   
all ,i will shake not only the earth1   
but also heaven4 #ab3bg;,and this1      
,hereafter once for all1 signifies the  
removal of the things shaken as of      
things made1 that those not shaken may  
continue4 #ab3bh,wherefore1 receiving a 

kingdom that cannot be shaken1 let us   
have grace through which we may serve   
,god acceptably1 with piety and fear2   
#ab3bi;for our ,god is also a consuming 
fire4  #d #ac3a,let brotherly love      
continue4 #ac3b;,forget not hospitality2
 for by this some without knowing it    
have entertained angels4 #ac3c,remember 
those bound as bound with them1 and     
those injured as being yourselves also  
in the body4 #ac3d ,marriage is         
honorable in all1 and married life      
without blame2 but fornicators and      
adulterers ,god will judge4 #ac3e,let   
your life be without avarice1 and be    
contented with what you have2 for he    
said1 ,i will never leave you1 ,i will  
never forsake you2 #ac3fso that we may  
boldly say1 ,the ,lord is my helper1 and
 ,i will not fear2 what can man do to   
me8  #e #ac3g,remember your guides who  
spoke to you the word of ,god1 and      
considering the end of their life follow
 the faith4  #ac3h;,jesus ,christ is the
 same yesterday1 to-day1 and forever4   

#ac3i;,be not carried about with various
 and strange doctrines2 for it is good  
that the mind should be established with
 grace1 not with aliments1 in which     
those walking are not profited4  #f     
#ac3aj,we have an altar of which those  
who serve the tabernacle have no right  
to eat4 #ac3aa;,for the bodies of those 
animals whose blood is carried into the 
sanctuary by the chief priest are burnt 
without the encampment4 #ac3ab          
,wherefore also ,jesus1 that he might   
purify the people through his blood1    
suffered without the gate4 #ac3ac,let us
 therefore go out to him without the    
encampment1 bearing his reproach2       
#ac3ad;for we have not here a city that 
continues1 but we seek that which is to 
come4  #ac3ae,through him1 therefore1   
let us offer the sacrifice of praise    
continually to ,god1 that is1 the fruit 
of lips confessing his name4 #ac3af;,and
 forget not beneficence and liberality2 
for with such sacrifices ,god is well   
pleased4  #g #ac3ag,obey your guides and

 be in subjection2 for they watch for   
your souls as having to give an account1
 that they may do this with joy and not 
with grief2 for this is unprofitable for
 you4  #h #ac3ah,pray for us2 for we    
trust we have a good conscience1 in all 
things wishing to live well4 #ac3ai;,and
 ,i exhort you do this the more1 that ,i
 may sooner be restored to you4  #i     
#ac3bj;,and may the ,god of peace1 who  
brought up from the dead the great      
shepherd of the sheep with the blood of 
the eternal covenant1 our ,lord ,jesus1 
#ac3baperfect you in every good work to 
do his will1 doing in you that which is

saying1 ,to him that sits on the throne 
and to the ,lamb be blessing and honor  
and glory and power forever and ever4   
#e3ad;,and the four cherubs said1 ,amen4
 ,and the elders fell down and          
worshipped3    ,,chapter ,,iv4  ,,the

#f3a;,,and ,i saw when the ,lamb opened 
one of the seven seals1 and heard one of
 the four cherubs say like the sound of 
thunder1 ,come4 #f3b;,and ,i saw1 and   
behold1 a white horse1 and he that sat  
on it had a bow1 and a crown was given  
him1 and he went forth conquering and to
 conquer4  #b #f3c;,and when he opened  
the second seal1 ,i heard the second    

cherub say1 ,come4 #f3d;,and there went 
out another fiery horse1 and it was     
given to him that sat on it to take     
peace from the earth1 and that they     
should kill one another1 and there was  
given him a great sword4  #c #f3e;,and  
when he opened the third seal1 ,i heard 
the third cherub say1 ,come4 ,and ,i    
saw1 and behold1 a black horse1 and he  
that sat on it had a pair of scales in  
his hand4 #f3f;,and ,i heard a voice in 
the midst of the four cherubs1 saying1  
,a choenix a quart of wheat for a       
denarius #ad cents1 and three choenices 
of barley for a denarius2 and injure not
 the oil and wine4  #d #f3g;,and when he
 opened the fourth seal1 ,i heard the   
fourth cherub say1 ,come4 #f3h;,and ,i  
saw1 and behold1 a pale horse1 and one  
sat on it1 whose name was ,death1 and   
,hades followed him1 and there was given
 him power over a fourth part of the    
earth to kill with the sword and with   
famine and with pestilence and by the   
beasts of the earth4  #e #f3i;,and when 

he opened the fifth seal1 ,i saw under  
the altar the souls of those killed for 
the word of ,god and for the testimony  
which they had4 #f3aj ,and they cried   
with a loud voice1 saying1 ,how long1   
,master1 holy and true1 do you not judge
 and avenge our blood on those that     
dwell on the earth8 #f3aa;,and a white  
robe was given them1 and it was told    
them to rest yet a little while1 till   
their fellow servants and their brothers
 and those about to be killed as they   
also had been should finish their       
testimony4  #f #f3ab;,and ,i saw when he
 opened the sixth seal1 and there was a 
great earthquake1 and the sun became    
black as sackcloth of hair1 and all the 
moon became as blood1 #f3ac;and the     
stars of heaven fell to the earth1 as a 
fig tree casts down its unseasonable    
figs when shaken with a mighty wind1    
#f3ad;and heaven departed like a book   
rolled up1 and every mountain and island
 were moved from their places4          
#f3ae;,and the kings of the earth and   

the great men and the chiliarchs and the
 rich and the mighty and every servant  
and freeman hid themselves in caves and 
in the rocks of the mountains1 #f3af;and
 said to the mountains and rocks1 ,fall 
on us1 and hide us from the face of him 
that sits on the throne and from the    
wrath of the ,lamb1 #f3ag;for the great 
day of his wrath has come1 and who can  
stand8  #g #g3a;,and after this ,i saw  
four angels standing on the four corners
 of the earth1 holding the four winds of
 the earth1 that no wind might blow on  
the earth1 nor on the sea1 nor on any   
tree4  #g3b;,and ,i saw another angel   
ascend from the east1 having the seal of
 the living ,god1 and he cried with a   
loud voice to the four angels to whom it
 was given to injure the earth and the  
sea1 #g3c saying1 ,injure not the earth 
nor the sea nor the trees1 till we seal 
the servants of our ,god on their

 before the ,lamb1 clothed with white   
robes1 and having palm branches in their

 voice1 saying1 ,salvation be to our    
,god who sits on the throne and to the

around the throne and the elders and the
 four cherubs1 and fell down before the 
throne on their faces1 and worshipped

glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and

one of the elders answered and said to  
me1 ,who are those clothed with white   
robes1 and whence did they come8        
#g3ad;,and ,i said to him1 ,my ,lord1   
you know4 ,and he said to me1 ,these are
 those who come out from great          
affliction1 and washed their robes and  
made them white in the blood of the

them4 #g3af;,and they shall hunger no   
more1 neither thirst any more1 neither

 ,,seventh ,,seal1 ,,the ,,first ,,five

  #a #h3a;,,and when he opened the      
seventh seal1 there was silence in      
heaven about half an hour4 #h3b;,and ,i 
saw the seven angels who stand before   
,god1 and there were given them seven   
trumpets4  #h3c;,and another angel came 
and stood by the altar1 having a golden 
censer1 and there was given him much    
incense to present with the prayers of  
all the saints on the golden altar      
before the throne4 #h3d ,and a cloud of 
incense ascended with the prayers of the
 saints from the hand of the angel      
before ,god4 #h3e;,and the angel took   
the censer and filled it from the fire  
of the altar1 and cast it on the earth2 
and there were thunders and lightning   
and voices and an earthquake4  #b       
#h3f;,and the seven angels having the   

seven trumpets prepared themselves to   
sound4 #h3g;,and the first sounded2 and 
there was hail and fire mingled with    
blood1 and it was cast on the earth2 and
 a third part of the earth was consumed1
 and a third part of the trees were     
consumed1 and all the green grass was   
consumed4  #c #h3h;,and the second angel
 sounded2 and the appearance of a great 
mountain burning with fire was cast into
 the sea2 and a third part of the sea   
became blood1 #h3i;and a third part of  
the creatures in the sea having life    
died1 and a third part of the ships were
 destroyed4  #d #h3aj;,and the third    
angel sounded2 and there fell from      
heaven a great star1 burning like a     
lamp1 and it fell on a third part of the
 rivers and on the fountains of waters4 
#h3aa;,and the name of the star was     
called ,bitterness4 ,and a third part of
 the waters became bitter1 and many men 
died by the waters1 because they were   
bitter4  #e #h3ab;,and the fourth angel 
sounded2 and a third part of the sun was

 smitten1 and a third part of the moon1 
and a third part of the stars1 and a    
third part of them were darkened1 and   
the day did not appear a third part of  
it1 nor the night4 #h3ac;,and ,i saw1   
and heard an eagle flying in the midst  
of heaven1 saying with a loud voice1    
,woe1 woe1 woe1 to those who live on the
 earth on account of the other voices of
 the trumpet of the three angels who are
 about to sound4  #f #i3a;,and the fifth
 angel sounded2 and ,i saw a star fall  
from heaven to the earth1 and there was 
given him the key of the pit of the     
abyss4 #i3b;,and he opened the pit of   
the abyss2 and there arose up a smoke   
from the pit1 like the smoke of a great 
furnace1 and the sun and the air were   
darkened by the smoke of the pit4       
#i3c;,and from the smoke went out       
locusts on the earth1 and power was     
given them like the power which         
scorpions of the earth have4  #i3d;,and 
it was told them not to injure the grass
 of the earth nor any green thing nor   

any tree1 but the men who had not the   
seal of ,god on their foreheads4        
#i3e;,and it was given them not to kill 
them1 but to sting them five months2 and
 their sting was like the sting of a    
scorpion1 when he strikes a man4        
#i3f;,and in those days men shall seek  
death and not find it1 and shall desire 
to die and death flee from them4  #g    
#i3g;,and the forms of the locusts were 
like horses prepared for battle1 and    
upon their heads were as it were crowns 
like gold1 and their faces were like the
 faces of men1 #i3h;and they had hair   
like the hair of women1 and their teeth 
were like those of lions1 #i3i;and they 
had cuirasses like steel cuirasses1 and 
the sound of their wings was like the   
sound of chariots with many horses      
running to battle4 #i3aj;,and they had  
tails like scorpions and stings1 and in 
their tails was their power to injure   
men five months4 #i3aa,they had over    
them a king1 an angel of the abyss1     
whose name in ,hebrew is ,abaddon1 but  

in the ,greek he is called ,apollyon4   
#i3ab,one woe has passed2 behold1 there 
come yet two woes after this4  #h       
#i3ac;,and the sixth angel sounded2 and 
,i heard a voice from the four horns of 
the golden altar before ,god1           
#i3adsaying to the sixth angel who had  
the trumpet1 ,unbind the four angels    
bound by the river1 the great           
,euphrates4 #i3ae ,and the four angels  
were unbound1 who were prepared for the 
hour1 and day1 and month1 and year1 to  
kill a third part of men4 #i3af;,and the
 number of the armies of the horse was  
two ten thousands of ten thousands2 ,i  
heard the number of them4 #i3ag;,and    
thus ,i saw the horses in the vision and
 those sitting on them1 having          
cuirassess of fire1 of hyacinth and of  
sulphur2 and the heads of the horses    
were like the heads of lions1 and from  
their mouths proceeded fire and smoke   
and sulphur4  #i #i3ah;,by these three  
plagues a third part of men were killed1
 by the fire and the smoke and the      

sulphur which proceeded from their      
mouths4 #i3ai;,for the power of the     
horses was in their mouths and in their 
tails2 for their tails were like        
serpents1 having heads1 and with them   
they did injury4 #i3bj;,and the rest of 
men1 who were not killed with these     
plagues1 did not change their minds to  
turn from the works of their hands1 not 
to worship demons and idols of gold and 
silver and brass and stone and wood1    
which cannot see nor hear nor walk1     
#i3ba and did not change their minds to 
turn from their murders1 nor from their 
magic arts1 nor from their fornication1 
nor from their thefts4    ,,chapter     
,,vi4  ,,the ,,little ,,book ,,and ,,the
 ,,two ,,witnesses4  #a #aj3a;,,and ,i  
saw another mighty angel come down from 
heaven1 clothed with a cloud1 and an    
iris was about his head1 and his face   
was like the sun1 and his feet like     
pillars of fire1 #aj3b;and he had in his
 hand a little book opened4 ,and he set 
his right foot on the sea1 and his left 

on the land1 #aj3c;and cried with a loud
 voice1 as a lion roars4 ,and when he   
cried1 seven thunders spoke their words4
 #aj3d;,and when the seven thunders     
spoke1 ,i was about to write2 and ,i    
heard a voice from heaven1 saying1 ,seal
 up what the seven thunders spoke1 and  
write it not4  #b #aj3e;,and the angel  
whom ,i saw standing on the sea and on  
the land1 lifted up his right hand to   
heaven1 #aj3f;and swore by him that     
lives forever and ever1 that created    
heaven and the things in it and the     
earth and the things in it and the sea  
and the things in it1 that time should  
be no longer1 #aj3g;but in the days of  
the sounding of the seventh angel1 when 
he is about to sound1 then the mystery  
of ,god shall be finished1 as he told   
his servants the prophets4  #c          
#aj3h;,and the voice which ,i heard from
 heaven ,i heard again speak to me and  
say1 ,go and take the little opened book
 in the hand of the angel who stands on 
the sea and on the land4  #aj3i;,and ,i 

went to the angel1 and said to him1     
,give me the little book4 ,and he said  
to me1 ,take and eat it1 and it will    
embitter your stomach1 but in your mouth
 it will be sweet as honey4 #aj3aj;,and 
,i took the little book from the hand of
 the angel and eat it2 and it was in my 
mouth as sweet as honey2 and when ,i eat
 it1 my stomach was bitter4 #aj3aa;,and 
they said to me1 ,you must prophesy     
again before peoples and nations and    
tongues and many kings4  #d #aa3a;,and a
 rod was given me like a staff1 and he  
said1 ,arise and measure the temple of  
,god and the altar and those that       
worship in it4 #aa3b;,and leave out the 
exterior court of the temple and measure
 it not1 for it has been given to the   
gentiles1 and they shall tread the holy 
city under foot forty-two months three  
years and a half4 #aa3c;,and ,i will    
give charge to my two witnesses1 and    
they shall prophesy twelve hundred and  
sixty days three years and a half       
clothed with sackcloth4 #aa3d,these are 

the two olive trees1 and the two lamps1 
which stand before the ,lord of the     
earth4 #aa3e;,and if any one will injure
 them1 fire proceeds from their mouth   
and devours their adversaries2 and if   
any one will injure them1 he must thus  
be killed4 #aa3f,these have power to    
shut heaven1 that it may not rain in the
 days of their prophecy1 and they have  
power over the waters to turn them into 
blood and to smite the earth with every 
plague as often as they will4  #e       
#aa3g;,and when they shall finish their 
testimony1 the beast which ascends from 
the abyss shall make war with them1 and 
conquer them1 and kill them4 #aa3h ,and 
their dead bodies shall lie in the      
streets of the great city1 which is     
spiritually called ,sodom and ,egypt1   
where also their ,lord was crucified4   
#aa3i ,and the peoples and tribes and   
tongues and nations shall see their dead
 bodies three days and a half1 and shall
 not permit their dead bodies to be     
buried4 #aa3aj;,and those that dwell on 

the earth shall be glad1 and rejoice    
over them1 and shall send gifts one to  
another1 because these two prophets     
tormented those that dwell on the earth4
 #aa3aa;,and after three days and a half
 the spirit of life from ,god entered   
into them1 and they stood on their feet1
 and great fear fell on those that saw  
them4  #aa3ab;,and ,i heard a loud voice
 from heaven saying to them1 ,ascend    
hither2 and they ascended to heaven in a
 cloud1 and their enemies beheld them4  
#aa3ac;,and in that hour there was a    
great earthquake1 and a tenth part of

great1 and to destroy those that destroy

head a crown of twelve stars1 #ab3b;and

and distress to give it birth4

 in heaven1 and behold1 a great fiery   
dragon1 having seven heads and ten horns
 and upon his heads seven diadems1      
#ab3d;and his tail drew a third of the  
stars of heaven1 and cast them on the   
earth4 ,and the dragon stood before the 
woman who was about to bear a child1    
that when she had borne he might devour 
her son4 #ab3e;,and she bore a male     
child1 who is about to rule all nations 
with a rod of iron2 and her child was   
caught up to ,god1 and to his throne4

wilderness1 where she has a place       
prepared by ,god1 that they may nourish 
her there twelve hundred and sixty days 
three years and a half4  #d #ab3g;,and  
there was a war in heaven1 ,michael and 
his angels fighting with the dragon4

#ab3h;and were not strong1 neither was  
their place found any longer in heaven4 
#ab3i;,and the great dragon1 the old    

serpent1 who is called the devil and    
,satan1 and who deceives all the world1 
was cast to the earth1 and his angels   
were cast to the earth with him4

heaven saying1 ,now has come the        
salvation and power and kingdom of our  
,god1 and the power of his ,christ1 for 
the accuser of the brothers1 that       
accused them day and night before ,god1

they conquered him by the blood of the

testimony1 and exposed their lives to

 anger1 knowing that he has a short     
time4  #e #ab3ac;,and when the dragon   
saw that he was cast to the earth1 he   
persecuted the woman who bore the male  
child4 #ab3ad;,and there were given to  
the woman two wings of a great eagle1   
that she might fly to the wilderness to 

her place1 where she is nourished a time
 and times and half a time three years  
and a half1 from before the serpent4

mouth after the woman water like a      
river1 that he might carry her away4    
#ab3af;,and the earth helped the woman1 
and the earth opened her mouth and      
swallowed up the river which the dragon 
cast out of his mouth4 #ab3ag;,and the  
dragon was angry with the woman1 and    
went to make war with the rest of her   
children who keep the commandments of   
,god1 and have the testimony of ,jesus4

authority4 #ac3c;,and one of his heads  

was as if mortally wounded1 and its     
mortal wound was healed4 ,and all the   
earth wondered after the beast1

because he gave power to the beast1 and 
worshipped the beast1 saying1 ,who is   
like the beast1 and who is able to make 
war with him8 #ac3e;,and there was given
 him a mouth speaking great things and  
blasphemy1 and power was given him to   
continue forty-two months three years   
and a half4 #ac3f;,and he opened his    
mouth in blasphemies against ,god1 to   
blaspheme his name and his tabernacle   
and those that dwell in heaven4         
#ac3g;,and it was given him to make war 
with the saints and to conquer them1 and
 power was given him over every tribe

ear let him hear4 #ac3aj;,if any one    

leads into captivity1 he shall go into  
captivity2 if any one kills with the    
sword1 he shall be killed with the      
sword4 ,here is the patience and faith  
of the saints4  #g #ac3aa;,and ,i saw   
another beast come up out of the earth1 
and he had two horns like a lamb and    
spoke like a dragon4 #ac3ab;,and he     
exercised all the power of the first    
beast in his presence4 ,and he caused   
the earth and those that dwell in it to 
worship the first beast1 whose mortal   
wound was healed4 #ac3ac;,and he        
performs great miracles1 so as even to  
make fire come down from heaven to the  
earth in the sight of men4 #ac3ad;,and  
he deceives those that dwell on the     
earth by the miracles which it was given
 him to perform before the beast1       
telling those that dwell on the earth to
 make an image of the beast which had   
the wound with the sword and lived4     
#ac3ae;,and it was given him to give a  
spirit to the image of the beast1 that  
the image of the beast should both      

speak1 and cause that all who would not 
worship the image of the beast should be
 killed4 #ac3af ,and he caused all1     
small and great1 and rich and poor1 and 
freemen and servants1 to receive the    
mark on their right hand or on their    
forehead1 #ac3ag;and that no one should 
buy or sell unless he had the mark1 the 
name of the beast or the number of his

him a hundred and forty-four thousand

#ad3b;,and ,i heard a voice from heaven 
like the sound of many waters and like  
the sound of loud thunder1 and the voice
 which ,i heard was like harpers playing
 on their harps4 #ad3c;,and they sung a 

new song before the throne and before   
the four cherubs and the elders2 and no 
one could learn the song except the     
hundred and forty-four thousand1 who had
 been redeemed from the earth4

redeemed from men a first fruit to ,god

eternal gospel to preach to those who   
dwell on the earth and to every nation

that made heaven and the earth and the  
sea and fountains of waters4  #c

 tormented with fire and sulphur before

 no rest day nor night who worship the  
beast and his image1 and whoever

saints1 who keep the commandments of

out of the temple1 crying with a loud

it into the great wine-press of the     
wrath of ,god4 #ad3bj;,and the

harps of ,god4 #ae3c;,and they sing the

the seven angels went out who have the  
last seven plagues1 clothed with pure   
bright linen1 and girded about the      
breasts with golden girdles4 #ae3g;,and 
one of the four cherubs gave the seven  
angels seven golden bowls full of the   
wrath of the ,god who lives forever and

with smoke from the glory of ,god and   
from his power1 and no one could enter  
into the temple till the seven plagues  
of the seven angels were finished4  #c

to the seven angels1 ,go1 pour out the  
seven bowls of the wrath of ,god on the 
earth4  #af3b;,and the first went and   
poured out his bowl on the earth2 and   
there was an evil and malignant ulcer on
 the men who have the mark of the beast 
and those who worship his image4  #d    

#af3c;,and the second poured out his    
bowl on the sea2 and it became as the   
blood of a dead body1 and every living  
soul died1 the creatures in the sea4  #e
 #af3d;,and the third poured out his    
bowl on the rivers and the fountains of 
waters2 and they became blood4          
#af3e;,and ,i heard the angel of the    
waters say1 ,thou art just1 the ,is and 
the ,was1 the ,holy ,one1 because thou  
hast judged thus1 #af3f;for they shed   
the blood of saints and prophets1 and   
thou hast given them blood to drink2    
they are worthy4 #af3g;,and ,i heard the
 altar say1 ,yes1 ,lord ,god ,almighty1 
true and righteous are thy judgments4   
#f #af3h;,and the fourth poured out his 
bowl on the sun1 and it was given it to 
scorch men with fire4 #af3i;,and men    
were scorched with great heat1 and      
blasphemed the name of ,god who had     
power over these plagues1 and changed   
not their minds to give him glory4  #g  
#af3aj;,and the fifth poured out his    
bowl on the throne of the beast2 and his

 kingdom was darkened1 and they gnawed  
their tongues from painful labor1 #af3aa

account of their painful labors and     
their ulcers1 and they changed not their
 minds to turn from their works4  #h

bowl on the river1 the great ,euphrates2

way of the kings from the ,east might be
 prepared4 #af3ac;,and ,i saw three     
impure spirits like frogs proceed from  
the mouth of the dragon and from the    
mouth of the beast and from the mouth of
 the false prophet2-- #af3ad;for these  
are spirits of demons that perform      
miracles1 that go to the kings of all

great4 #af3ai;,and the great city was   
divided into three parts1 and the cities

indignant wrath4 #af3bj;,and every

found4 #af3ba;,and great hail of about  
the weight of a talent the ,attic       
talent1 #ef pounds1 the ,jewish1 #aac   
came down from heaven upon men2 and men 
blasphemed ,god on account of the plague
 of the hail because its plague was very
 great4    ,,chapter ,x4  ,,the ,,fall  
,,of ,,babylon4  #a #ag3a;,,and one of  
the seven angels having the seven bowls 
came and spoke to me1 saying1 ,come1 ,i

harlot who sits on many waters1         
#ag3bwith whom the kings of the earth   
have committed fornication1 and the     
inhabitants of the earth were made drunk
 with the wine of her fornication4  #b  
#ag3c;,and he bore me away into the     
wilderness in the ,spirit4  ,and ,i saw 
a woman sitting on a scarlet beast1 the 
beast full of blasphemous names1 having 
seven heads and ten horns4 #ag3d;,and   
the woman was clothed in purple and     
scarlet1 and adorned with gold and      
precious stones and pearls1 having a

drunk with the blood of the saints and  
the blood of the martyrs of ,jesus1 and 
,i wondered when ,i saw her with great  

wonder4  #c #ag3g;,and the angel said to
 me1 ,why did you wonder8 ,i will tell  
you the mystery of the woman and of the 
beast which carries her1 having the     
seven heads and ten horns4 #ag3h,the    
beast which you saw was and is not1 and 
is about to come up from the abyss1 and 
goes to destruction2 and those who live 
on the earth1 whose names are not       
written in the book of life from the    
foundation of the world1 will wonder1   
when they see the beast that he was and 
is not and is to come4 #ag3i;,here is   
the mind which has wisdom4 ,the seven   
heads are seven mountains1 on which the 
woman sits1 #ag3aj;and are seven kings2

not yet come1 and when he comes must    
continue a short time4  #ag3aa;,and the 
beast which was and is not1 he also is  
the eighth1 and is of the seven1 and    
goes to destruction4  #d #ag3ab;,and the
 ten horns which you saw are ten kings1 
which have not yet received a kingdom1  
but receive power as kings one hour with

 the beast4 #ag3ac ,these have one will1
 and give their power and their         
authority to the beast4 #ag3ad,they     
shall make war with the ,lamb1 and the  
,lamb shall conquer them1--for he is    
,lord of lords and ,king of kings1 and  
those with him are called and chosen and
 faithful4 #ag3ae;,and he said to me1   
,the waters which you saw1 where the    
harlot sits1 are peoples and multitudes

 ten horns which you saw and the beast  
shall hate the harlot1 and make her     
desolate and naked1 and eat her flesh1

another angel come down from heaven1

lighted by his glory4  #ah3b;,and he    

cried with a loud voice1 saving1

fallen1 and has become a habitation of

spirit1 and a haunt of every impure and 
hateful bird1 #ah3c;because all nations 
have drank of the wine of the wrath of  
her fornication1 and the kings of the   
earth committed fornication with her1

rich from the greatness of her luxury4

 he will tabernacle with them1 and they 
shall be his people1 and ,god himself   
will be with them1 their ,god1 #ba3d;and
 he will wipe away every tear from their
 eyes1 and death shall be no more1 nor

 any more1 for the former things have   
passed away4  #c #ba3e;,and he that sits
 on the throne said1 ,behold1 ,i make   
all things new4 ,and he said1 ,write    
that these words are faithful and true4 
#ba3f;,and he said to me1 ,it is done4

beginning and the end4 ,i will give to  
him that thirsts of the fountain of the 
water of life freely4 #ba3g;,he that    
conquers shall inherit these things1 and
 ,i will be to him a ,god and he shall  
be to me a son4 #ba3h;,but the fearful  
and unbelieving and abominable and      
murderers and fornicators and sorcerers 
and idolaters and all liars shall have  
their part in the lake which burns with 
fire and sulphur1 which is the second   
death4  #d #ba3i;,and one of the seven  
angels who had the seven bowls full of  
the last seven plagues came1 and spoke  
with me1 saying1 ,come1 ,i will show you
 the wife1 the bride of the ,lamb4      
#ba3aj;,and he bore me away in the      

,spirit to a great and high mountain1   
and showed me the city1 the holy        
,jerusalem1 coming down out of heaven   
from ,god1 #ba3aa;having the glory of   
,god2 its luminary was like the most    
precious stone1 like a crystalline      
jasper4 #ba3ab;,it had a great and high 
wall1 it had twelve gates1 and at the   
gates twelve angels1 and names          
inscribed1 which are the names of the   
twelve tribes of the children of        
,israel4 #ba3ac,on the east were three  
gates1 and on the north three gates1 and
 on the south three gates1 and on the   
west three gates4 #ba3ad;,and the wall  
of the city has twelve foundations1 and 
on them the twelve names of the twelve  
apostles of the ,lamb4  #e #ba3ae;,and  
he that spoke with me had a golden      
measuring rod1 to measure the city and  
its gates and its wall4 #ba3af;,and the 
city was square1 and its length equal to
 its breadth4 ,and he measured the city 
with the rod1 twelve thousand stadia    
#acgb ,english miles2 and the length and

 breadth and height of it are equal4    
#ba3ag;,and he measured its wall1 a     
hundred and forty-four cubits1 the      
measure of a man1 which was of the      
angel4 #ba3ah;,and the building of its  
wall was jasper1 and the city was of    
pure gold like clear glass4 #ba3ai;,and 
the foundations of the wall of the city 
were adorned with every precious stone2 
the first foundation was jasper1 the    
second sapphire1 the third chalcedony1  
the fourth emerald1 #ba3bjthe fifth     
sardonyx1 the sixth sardine stone1 the  
seventh chrysolyte1 the eighth beryl1   
the ninth topaz1 the tenth chrysoprase1 
the eleventh hyacinth1 and the twelfth  
amethyst4  #f #ba3ba;,and the twelve    
gates were twelve pearls2 each of the   
gates was of one pearl4 ,and the street 
of the city was of pure gold1           
transparent as glass4 #ba3bb;,and ,i saw
 no temple in it1 for the ,lord ,god    
,almighty is its temple1 and the ,lamb4 
#ba3bc;,and the city has no need of the 
sun1 nor of the moon1 to give a light to

 it2 for the glory of ,god lights it1   
and its light the ,lamb4  #ba3bd ,and   
the nations shall walk in its light1 and
 the kings of the earth bring their     
glory to it1 #ba3be;and its gates shall 
not be shut by day1--for there shall be 
no night there1-- #ba3bf;and they shall 
bring the glory and honor of the nations
 into it4  #ba3bg;,and there shall not  
enter into it any thing that is defiled1
 nor any one that commits an abomination
 and falsehood1 but those enrolled in   
the ,lamb's book of life4  #g #bb3a;,and
 he showed me a river of water of life1 
clear as crystal1 proceeding from the   
throne of ,god and the ,lamb4 #bb3b;,in 
the midst of its broad plain and along  
the river on each side was the tree of  
life1 bearing twelve fruits1 and        
yielding monthly each of its fruits1 and
 the leaves of the tree are for the     
healing of the nations4 #bb3c;,and no   
curse shall be there any more4 ,and the 
throne of ,god and of the ,lamb shall be
 in it1 and his servants shall serve    

him1 #bb3d;and shall see his face1 and  
his name shall be on their foreheads4   
#bb3e ,and there shall be no night1 and 
they shall have no need of a lamp and   
light1 for the ,lord ,god shall shed    
light on them1 and they shall reign
