Ye have heard that I told you, I am going away, though I am coming again to you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I am going to the Father: because my Father is greater than I.

833

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath earnestly sought you, that he might sift you as wheat:

839

I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came, and bore witness to thy truth, even as thou walkest in the truth.

840

And they sung a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereon; because thou hast been slaughtered, and hast redeemed us for God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation;

846

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

847

Now I tell you, that it shall be more tolerable for Sodom in that day, than for that city.

850

NOW there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the cohort called the Italic,

853

And they began to question among themselves, who it could possibly be of them who should do this thing.

856

Now it came to pass, at the time when John was baptising all the people, that Jesus also was baptised, and as he prayed, the heaven was opened,

864

After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea; and there he abode with them, and baptised.

866

And it came to pass, as the days hastened to their period when he should be received up [to glory], that he resolutely set his face to go to Jerusalem;

867

This then I urge and testify in the Lord, that ye walk no more as the other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,

871

And they brought unto him little children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who brought them.

872

And it was about eight days after these discourses, that taking Peter, and John, and James, he went up into a mountain to pray.

876

to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

882

For it is not possible to renew again unto repentance those who have been once illuminated, and have tasted the celestial gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

883

Not that I have already attained, or am now perfect: but I pursue, that I may overtake that for which also by his apprehension of me I am destined by Christ Jesus.

888

And immediately Jesus compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and pass before him to the other side, while he dismissed the people.

889

Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath manifested it to them.

890

Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

891

THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.

897

Now there stood there six large stone jars, for the customary purifying ablution of the Jews, containing two or three baths each.

903

AND they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

905

or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes doubtless it was written; because he who ploweth ought to plow in hope, and he who soweth in hope should be partaker of his hope.

907

For I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is come on Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

912

And being asked by one of the Pharisees, When cometh the kingdom of God? he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:

915

When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had spoken thus unto them; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jesus had spoken.

916

AND the Pharisees, and some of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem, collected together around him.

921

BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria.

928

Indeed, I think it right, as long as I am in this frail tabernacle, to rouse up your attention by reminding you:

932

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye affirm, That the place where we ought to worship is at Jerusalem.

933

For if we sin wilfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no more sacrifice for sins remaineth;

935

But let not this particular be concealed from you, beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

940

Then said the Jews, This temple has been forty-six years in building, and canst thou rear it up in three days?

942

Jesus saith unto her, What is that to me and thee, woman? my hour is not yet come.

951

And I have written unto you for this very purpose, that I might not, when I come to you, have sorrow from those in whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.

952

Then his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable mean?

957

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:

959

Brethren, I count not myself to have overtaken it; but this one object I pursue, forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching out to those which are before,

961

Not that I mention this with a view to my indigence: for I have learned in whatever circumstances I am, to be content.

966

They said therefore, What is this which he saith, This little while? we know not what he means.

967

And there are three which bear witness upon earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood, and the three are for the same one object.

969

and Asa begat Josaphat, and Josaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Ozias,

970

And Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and on the road he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

975

Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves.

976

Then Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus said, Ye men of Athens, I observe that in all things ye are too much devoted to the worship of daemons.

977

Whom approaching, as the living stone, rejected indeed of men, but elect of God, and honourable,

978

Another parable proposed he to them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man who sowed good seed in his field:

979

and if a wife put away her husband, and marrieth another, she committeth adultery.

980

And his parents went annually to Jerusalem at the feast of the passover.

984

Having confidence in thy obedience, I have written unto thee, knowing that thou wilt do more than I say.

993

Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

1002

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat falling on the earth undergo a deathlike change, it abideth single: but if it [thus] die, it beareth abundant produce.

1003

And it came to pass, as he was going towards Jerusalem, he passed also through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

1010

THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.

1012

Now many other miracles did Jesus therefore also in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

1013

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.

1018

But this I add, He that soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly, and he that soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully.

1029

While they were relating these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you!

1030

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

1040

I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

1041

every valley shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be levelled, and the crooked ways made strait, and the rough roads smooth:

1043

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

1045

For he was reckoned of our number, and had obtained an appointment to this ministry.

1049

And they came to Jericho. And as he was going out of Jericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus, the blind, the son of Timeus, sat by the road-side begging:

1050

to whom all gave heed from the small to the great, saying, This man is the great power of God.

1052

Because this day there is born for you a Saviour, which is Messiah, the Lord, in the city of David.

1053

And another came, saying, Master, there is thy maneh, which I have kept wrapt up in a napkin:

1056

But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure.

1058

So passing through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia,

1059

AND it came to pass afterwards, that he went through every city and village, preaching and publishing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, and the twelve with him.

1062

O INFATUATED Galatians, who hath bewitched you that ye should not obey the truth? To whom Jesus Christ has been described, as before your eyes, crucified among you.

1063

Then the ruler of the synagogue, indignant, that on the sabbath Jesus had performed the cure, addressing himself to the multitude, said, There are six days in which work is to be done: on these therefore come and be cured, and not on the sabbath-day.

1066

and said to them, That thus it is written, and thus must the Messiah suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day

1067

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace from him, who is, and who was, and who is coming; and from the seven spirits which are before the throne of God,

1070

And he will shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.

1071

And when they had arrived, they went up to an upper room, where abode Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealous, and Jude brother to James.

1072

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life?

1081

AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon the horns ten diadems, and upon the heads a title of blasphemy.

1082

And a certain woman, Lydia by name, a seller of purple, from the city of Thyatira, a worshipper of God, hearkened: whose heart the Lord thoroughly opened, to attend to the words spoken by Paul.

1087

knowing that the deposition of this frail tabernacle of mine is hastily approaching, as our Lord Jesus Christ hath made evident to me.

1091

And it came to pass the next day, that he went into a city called Nain; and a considerable number of his disciples went with him, and a vast multitude.

1092

Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God.

1094

And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what cause hast thou abandoned me?

1099

And having done so, they inclosed a prodigious multitude of fishes; and their net was broken.

1100

Again I say unto you, That if two of you are concurring upon earth, respecting any matter, which ye shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven.

1101

Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.

1103

And six days after Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, only, and carrieth them up with him into an exceeding high mountain in great privacy; and was transfigured before them.

1105

FOR this reason we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us.

1110

or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

1111

PETER, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the sojourners, dispersed through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1112

and Hezekias begat Manasses, and Manasses begat Amon, and Amon begat Josias,

1113

What then? have we pre-eminence? Not at all: for we have before proved that both the Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

1116

This title then many of the Jews read: for the spot where Jesus was crucified was nigh unto the city: and it was written in Hebrew, in Greek, and in Latin.

1117

Then saith he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out, and it was restored, sound as the other.

1118

Now when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and they believed, even as many as were ordained to life eternal.

1119

And Zacharias said to the angel, By what shall I know this? for I am old, and my wife far advanced in her age.

1120

that which we have seen and heard, declare we to you, that ye also may have communion with us: and indeed our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

1122

But what saith it? "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart:" that is, the word of faith which we preach;

1129

THEN six days after, Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them into an exceeding high mountain apart.

1130

Then Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who, when they had both stripped him, and covered him with wounds, got off, leaving him half dead.

1131

And in those days arose Peter in the midst of the disciples, and said, (there was a number of persons together, about an hundred and twenty,)

1133

Then as he was sitting upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall there things be? and what is the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the age?

1136

For I also am a man under authority, having under my command soldiers and I say to this soldier, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

1145

For the eager expectation of the creation is waiting for the revelation of the children of God.

1147

Now the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

1148

And the angel said unto them, Be not affrighted: for, behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people.

1150

For this I know, that after my departure there will come among you grievous wolves, not sparing the flock:

1157

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS.

1158

Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.

1163

And as they were eating, Jesus taking a loaf, when he had blessed, brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

1166

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

1167

Then Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah,

1168

Then the Lord, after having thus spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

1173

So they took him and led him to the hill of Mars, saying, May we know what this novel doctrine taught by thee is?

1174

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden under foot of the Gentiles, until the times appointed for the Gentiles shall come to their period.

1178

Then was the feast of dedication at Jerusalem, and it was winter.

1179

Now beside the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene.

1182

Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit within him was greatly grieved, beholding the city so devoted to idolatry.

1183

And then shall the sign of the Son of man appear in the heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth lament bitterly, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1185

And having thus spoken, he proceeded forward, going up to Jerusalem.

1187

And he said unto them, When ye pray say, Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done as in heaven so upon earth.

1190

And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung up, because it had no depth of earth:

1191

So he attentively regarded them, expecting to receive something from them.

1194

But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days.
