Copyright 2001 by J. Clontz
Project Gutenberg Etexts are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we usually do not
keep etexts in compliance with any particular paper edition.
We are now trying to release all our etexts one year in advance
of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
even years after the official publication date.
Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at
Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A
preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
and editing by those who wish to do so.
Most people start at our sites at:
<a href="http://gutenberg.net">http://gutenberg.net</a> or
<a href="http://promo.net/pg">http://promo.net/pg</a>
These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
etexts, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
Those of you who want to download any Etext before announcement
can get to them as follows, and just download by date. This is
also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.
<a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03">http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext03</a> or
<a href="ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03">ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/etext03</a>
Or /etext02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90
Just search by the first five letters of the filename you want,
as it appears in our Newsletters.
Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The
time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our
projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value
per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
million dollars per hour in 2001 as we release over 50 new Etext
files per month, or 500 more Etexts in 2000 for a total of 4000+
If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
should reach over 300 billion Etexts given away by year's end.
The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext
Files by December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000 = 1 Trillion]
This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
At our revised rates of production, we will reach only one-third
of that goal by the end of 2001, or about 4,000 Etexts. We need
funding, as well as continued efforts by volunteers, to maintain
or increase our production and reach our goals.
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created
to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium.
We need your donations more than ever!
As of November, 2001, contributions are being solicited from people
and organizations in: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
and Wyoming.
*In Progress
We have filed in about 45 states now, but these are the only ones
that have responded.
As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list
will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states.
Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state.
In answer to various questions we have received on this:
We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally
request donations in all 50 states. If your state is not listed and
you would like to know if we have added it since the list you have,
just ask.
While we cannot solicit donations from people in states where we are
not yet registered, we know of no prohibition against accepting
donations from donors in these states who approach us with an offer to
donate.
International donations are accepted, but we don't know ANYTHING about
how to make them tax-deductible, or even if they CAN be made
deductible, and don't have the staff to handle it even if there are
ways.
All donations should be made to:
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
PMB 113
1739 University Ave.
Oxford, MS 38655-4109
Contact us if you want to arrange for a wire transfer or payment
method other than by check or money order.

the US Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) organization with EIN

tax-deductible to the maximum extent permitted by law. As fundraising
requirements for other states are met, additions to this list will be
made and fundraising will begin in the additional states.

**The Legal Small Print**
(Three Pages)
***START**THE SMALL PRINT!**FOR PUBLIC DOMAIN ETEXTS**START***
Why is this "Small Print!" statement here? You know: lawyers.
They tell us you might sue us if there is something wrong with
your copy of this etext, even if you got it for free from
someone other than us, and even if what's wrong is not our
fault. So, among other things, this "Small Print!" statement
disclaims most of our liability to you. It also tells you how
you may distribute copies of this etext if you want to.
*BEFORE!* YOU USE OR READ THIS ETEXT
By using or reading any part of this PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm
etext, you indicate that you understand, agree to and accept
this "Small Print!" statement. If you do not, you can receive
a refund of the money (if any) you paid for this etext by
sending a request within 30 days of receiving it to the person
you got it from. If you received this etext on a physical
medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.
ABOUT PROJECT GUTENBERG-TM ETEXTS
This PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext, like most PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etexts,
is a "public domain" work distributed by Professor Michael S. Hart
through the Project Gutenberg Association (the "Project").
Among other things, this means that no one owns a United States copyright
on or for this work, so the Project (and you!) can copy and
distribute it in the United States without permission and
without paying copyright royalties. Special rules, set forth
below, apply if you wish to copy and distribute this etext
under the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark.
Please do not use the "PROJECT GUTENBERG" trademark to market
any commercial products without permission.
To create these etexts, the Project expends considerable
efforts to identify, transcribe and proofread public domain
works. Despite these efforts, the Project's etexts and any
medium they may be on may contain "Defects". Among other
things, Defects may take the form of incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged
disk or other etext medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES
But for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described below,
[1] Michael Hart and the Foundation (and any other party you may
receive this etext from as a PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm etext) disclaims
all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including
legal fees, and [2] YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE OR
UNDER STRICT LIABILITY, OR FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY OR CONTRACT,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
If you discover a Defect in this etext within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any)
you paid for it by sending an explanatory note within that
time to the person you received it from. If you received it
on a physical medium, you must return it with your note, and
such person may choose to alternatively give you a replacement
copy. If you received it electronically, such person may
choose to alternatively give you a second opportunity to
receive it electronically.
THIS ETEXT IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS". NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE MADE TO YOU AS
TO THE ETEXT OR ANY MEDIUM IT MAY BE ON, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties or
the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so the
above disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you, and you
may have other legal rights.
INDEMNITY
You will indemnify and hold Michael Hart, the Foundation,
and its trustees and agents, and any volunteers associated
with the production and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm
texts harmless, from all liability, cost and expense, including
legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the
following that you do or cause: [1] distribution of this etext,
[2] alteration, modification, or addition to the etext,
or [3] any Defect.
DISTRIBUTION UNDER "PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm"
You may distribute copies of this etext electronically, or by
disk, book or any other medium if you either delete this
"Small Print!" and all other references to Project Gutenberg,
or:
[1] Only give exact copies of it. Among other things, this
requires that you do not remove, alter or modify the
etext or this "small print!" statement. You may however,
if you wish, distribute this etext in machine readable
binary, compressed, mark-up, or proprietary form,
including any form resulting from conversion by word
processing or hypertext software, but only so long as
*EITHER*:
[*] The etext, when displayed, is clearly readable, and
does *not* contain characters other than those
intended by the author of the work, although tilde
(~), asterisk (*) and underline (_) characters may
be used to convey punctuation intended by the
author, and additional characters may be used to
indicate hypertext links; OR
[*] The etext may be readily converted by the reader at
no expense into plain ASCII, EBCDIC or equivalent
form by the program that displays the etext (as is
the case, for instance, with most word processors);
OR
[*] You provide, or agree to also provide on request at
no additional cost, fee or expense, a copy of the
etext in its original plain ASCII form (or in EBCDIC
or other equivalent proprietary form).
[2] Honor the etext refund and replacement provisions of this
"Small Print!" statement.
[3] Pay a trademark license fee to the Foundation of 20% of the
gross profits you derive calculated using the method you
already use to calculate your applicable taxes. If you
don't derive profits, no royalty is due. Royalties are
payable to "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation"
the 60 days following each date you prepare (or were
legally required to prepare) your annual (or equivalent
periodic) tax return. Please contact us beforehand to
let us know your plans and to work out the details.
WHAT IF YOU *WANT* TO SEND MONEY EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO?
Project Gutenberg is dedicated to increasing the number of
public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed
in machine readable form.
The Project gratefully accepts contributions of money, time,
public domain materials, or royalty free copyright licenses.

<p>
This
book is based on an ancient manuscript known as MS Pepys 2498 of which one
copy is known to exist and is kept at Cambridge University Library in England.
The original source of MS Pepys 2498 (referred to as the Pepys Gospel or
the Pepys Gospel Harmony) is unknown but some scholars have theorized that
it may be as old as Christianity itself. </p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->

<p>
One of the more interesting conclusions concerning Jesus
based on the Pepys Gospel Harmony (PGH) sequence is that Jesus was a North
Palestinian Essene associated with the Damascus Covenant found at Qumran
in Palestine and Genizah in Egypt. Furthermore, it has been proposed that
Jesus held the office of Messiah
defined in the Damascus Covenant and His goal as well as that of the other
Damascus Covenant Essenes was to convert the Pharisaical Jews of Judea which
they viewed as the lost sheep of Israel to the Essene sect of Judaism. The
sequence of events in the gospels as depicted in the PGH shows John the Baptist
and Jesus converting Judean Jews through baptism in the wilderness of Judea.
Jesus has an altercation at the temple in Jerusalem and John is arrested.
After John’s arrest, Jesus heads north all the way to Capernaum where he
gathers followers numbering in the thousands. After John’s death, Jesus makes
a final journey to Jerusalem and once more he and his followers from Northern
Palestine convert Judean Jews. The Pharisaical leaders of the Judean Jews
plot to kill Jesus and put an end to His teaching. </p>
<p>
Thus, the PGH sequence of the canonical gospels depicts
what some scholars believe to have been a sectarian struggle between the
Essenes who adhered to the Damascus Covenant in Northern Palestine and the
Pharisaical Jews in Judea for religious leadership of all Israelites. The
Pharisaical Jews in Judea were looking for a Messiah to vanquish their enemies,
Rome and the Herodians, and therefore rejected Jesus as their Messiah. Whereas,
the Essenes were looking for a Messiah to vanquish their enemies, death,
poverty, disease and infirmity, and therefore hailed Jesus as their Messiah.</p>

<p>
Below are some important academic notes concerning the PGH sequence of the
gospels:</p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p>
The PGH mentions the city of Gerasa which was an ancient
city in Palestine which was destroyed by the 10th Roman legion Firensis in
AD 70. Only the very oldest existing manuscripts of the
canonical gospels mention the city of Gerasa while later manuscripts
refer to the area as the land of the Gerasenes. Thus the author of the original
source of the PGH may have lived prior to AD 70.</p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p>
The sequence of the PGH also parallels many aspects of
the theoretical "Q" text. The Greek texts of Matthew and Luke in some areas
are letter for letter matches which have led some scholars to theorize that
at one time a single text “Q” was formed from an early form of Matthew and
of Luke and then later portions of our modern forms of Matthew and Luke were
copied from this single gospel text. Additionally, in the modern text of
Luke the "Parable of the Lamp" occurs in both Chapter 8 and Chapter 11. It
has been theorized that an early text that contained Luke had only one "Parable
of the Lamp" and that the parable was either cut in half or duplicated in
our modern texts. The PGH sequence combines portions of Luke Ch. 8 and 11
and only has a single account of the "Parable of the Lamp" just as some scholars
have theorized would've existed in the single gospel forerunner of the modern
text of Luke.</p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p>
Scholars have also theorized that the "Q" text would've
been constructed into categories and composed of lists such as a list of
parables. This idea was formulated in part based on the gospel of Thomas
found at Nag Hammadi. The PGH does form the gospel account into categories
or groupings and there are two major groupings of parables in its sequence
just as theorized for the “Q” text. </p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p>
The event sequence of the PGH also enhances the account
of the four gospels. The sequence produces cause and effect relationships
between events and the interactions of various individuals with each other
and with Jesus. For instance, The PGH sequence contains both Mary Magdalene's
conversion and subsequent discipleship (this is in the modern gospel texts
but is somewhat obscured due to their non-chronological sequence). Thus Mary
Magdalene plays a major role in the account of Jesus which is implied by
many ancient sources such as the gospel of Thomas but not highlighted by
the canonical gospels in their present sequence. The same is true for the
significance of John the Baptist in Jesus' ministry. In the PGH sequence,
John the Baptist is portrayed as an important ally of Jesus' ministry and
his arrest and later death are both pivotal moments in Jesus ministry as
portrayed by the PGH sequence. The importance of John the Baptist in the
ministry of Jesus is implied by many ancient sources and that importance
is vividly depicted in Jesus’ ministry using the PGH sequence of the canonical
gospels. </p>
<p><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->
<!--[endif]--></p>
<p>
Moreover, the PGH is the only manuscript in existence
which depicts an error free chronological sequence for the events in the
life of Jesus as portrayed in the four canonical gospels. The four canonical
gospels make no claim to being written in chronological sequence. There are
historical/traditional accounts that indicate that the four canonical gospels
were not written in chronological order. For instance, Papias (AD 135) indicated
that Mark was not in any particular order. An engineered reconstruction of
the chronological order of the gospels indicates that while several sequences
are possible -- the sequence of the modern gospels is not in chronological
order. For instance, the passage in Mark 3:13-19 not only precedes the passage
in Mark 3:20-31 by over a dozen events but in fact several passages in Mark
actually occur between Mark 3:13-19 and Mark 3:20-31. </p>
<p>
Also, while there have been many modern attempts to reconstruct
the sequence of the events of Jesus life as narrated in the four canonical
gospels none of these reconstructions has as many parallels to the theoretical
“Q” text as the PGH. Furthermore the theory for the “Q” text was first proposed
in the 1800’s and the PGH manuscript predates the “Q” text theory by 400
years. Thus the best candidate to date for the “Q” text sequence is the PGH
manuscript. </p>
<p>
More importantly, the best manuscript for a chronological
depiction of the actual sequence of events in the life of Jesus is The Pepys
Gospel Harmony MS 2498.</p>

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative
of the things which have been fulfilled among us, 2 just as they were delivered
to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of
the word, 3 it seemed good to me also, having carefully investigated all
things from the very first, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent
Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things which you
have been taught. </p>

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 All things
were made through him, and without him nothing was made that was made. 4
In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 He came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all might believe
through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world
did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
12 But to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave
the right to become children of God-13 who were born, not of blood nor of
the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we
have seen his glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full
of grace and truth. 15 John bore witness of him and cried out, saying, "This
was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, for he was
before me.'" 16 And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus
Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is in the bosom
of the Father, he has made him known. </p>

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest
named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife of the daughters
of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before
God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both
well advanced in years. 8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when
his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, it
fell to him by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And
the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side
of the altar of incense. 12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and
fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah,
for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and
you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and
many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the
Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled
with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many
of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go before him
in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready
a people prepared for the Lord." 18 And Zechariah said to the angel, "How
shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years."
19 And the angel answered him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence
of God; and I was sent to speak to you, and to bring you this good news.
20 And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until the day that
these things come to pass, because you did not believe my words, which will
be fulfilled in their time." 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah
and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 But when he came out,
he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision
in the temple, for he made signs to them and remained speechless. 23 And
when his time of service was completed, he went to his home. 24 After these
days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she hid herself, saying,
25 "Thus the Lord has done to me, in the days when he looked on me, to take
away my reproach among people."</p>

26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man
whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 The angel went to her and said, "Hail, O highly favored one, the Lord
is with you!" 29 But she was greatly troubled at his saying, and considered
in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to
her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold,
you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name
Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High;
and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. 33 And he
will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will
be no end." 34 And Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a
virgin?" 35 And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the Holy One
to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth
in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with
her who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing will be impossible." 38
Then Mary said, "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way:
when his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together,
she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband,
being a just man, and not wanting to put her to public shame, was resolved
to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered this, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not
be afraid to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will give birth to a son, and you shall call
his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." 22 All this
took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
23 "Behold, the virgin shall

day they came to circumcise the child; and they would have named him Zechariah

61 They said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called

that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to
be registered, everyone to his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be registered
with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 6 And while they were

the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign to you: you will find a babe wrapped

1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the
days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,
2 saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen
his star in the East and have come to worship him." 3 When Herod the king
heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had
gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired
of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 So they said to him, "In Bethlehem
of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: </p>

from them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem
and said, "Go and search diligently for the young child, and when you have
found him, bring back word to me, so that I too may come and worship him."
9 When they had heard the king they went their way; and behold, the star
which they had seen in the East went before them, until it came to rest over
the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with
exceedingly great joy. 11 On coming into the house, they saw the child with
his mother Mary, and they fell down and worshipped him. Then they opened
their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, and of frankincense,
and of myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they
departed to their own country by another way. </p>

Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child

36 And there was a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with her husband
seven years from her virginity, 37 and as a widow till she was eighty-four.
She did not depart from the temple, but worshipped with fasting and prayer
night and day. 38 And coming up at that very hour she gave thanks to God,
and spoke of him to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.

13 Behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in
a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt,
and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child,
to destroy him." 14 When he rose, he took the young child and his mother
by night and departed for Egypt, 15 and remained there until the death of
Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out
of Egypt have I called my son." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by
the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male
children in Bethlehem and in all its region who were two years old or under,
according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. 17 Then

his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the young
child's life are dead." 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother,
and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning
over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being
warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went
and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the Prophets
might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."</p>

41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast
of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to the
Feast, according to the custom. 43 And when the feast was over, as they were
returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents did not
know it, 44 but supposing him to be in the company, they went a day's journey,
and they sought him among their relatives and acquaintances. 45 And when
they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 After
three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening
to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at
his understanding and his answers. 48 And when they saw him they were astonished;
and his mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your
father and I have been looking for you anxiously." 49 And he said to them,
"Why did you seek me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
50 But they did not understand the saying which he spoke to them. 51 Then
he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them, but

1 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the
wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand." 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he
said, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea
and all the region about the Jordan went out to him, 6 and </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you
to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruit worthy of repentance, 9 and
do not think to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.'
For I tell you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham
from these stones. 10 Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and
every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire. 11 I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is
coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork
is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat
into the barn, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan
to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent him, saying, "I need
to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?" 15 But Jesus answered him,
Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately
from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit
of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him. 17 And behold, a voice
from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."</p>

1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee,
his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region of Trachonitis, and
Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,
the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 And he
went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words
of Isaiah the prophet, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

7 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized
by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to
yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that God is able
to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 9 And even now the ax
is laid at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear
good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." 10 And the multitudes asked
him, "What then shall we do?" 11 And he answered them, "He who has two tunics,
let him share with him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise."
12 Tax collectors also came to be baptized, and said to him, "Teacher, what
shall we do?" 13 And he said to them, "Collect no more than is appointed you."
14 Likewise the soldiers asked him, "And what shall we do?" So he said to
them, "Rob no one by violence or accuse falsely, and be content with your
wages."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
15 As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned
in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ, 16 John
answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but one mightier than I is
coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand,
to clear his threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into his barn, but
the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." 18 And with many other exhortations
he preached good news to the people. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
21 And when all the people were being baptized, Jesus
was also baptized. And as he was praying, the heaven was opened 22 and the
Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon him, and a voice came
from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."</p>

19 Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites
from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?" 20 He confessed, he did not deny,
but confessed, "I am not the Christ." 21 And they asked him, "What then?
Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered,
"No." 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer for those

25 They asked him, "Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor
Elijah, nor the prophet?" 26 John answered them, "I baptize with water, but
there stands One among you whom you do not know. 27 It is he who comes after
me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie." 28 This took place
in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. </p>

I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, for he was before me.'

good come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." 47 Jesus
saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said of him, "Behold, an Israelite indeed,
in whom is no deceit!" 48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus
answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree,
I saw you." 49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You
are the King of Israel!" 50 Jesus answered him, "Because I said to you, I

than these." 51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you shall
see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the

1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee,
and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 And Jesus and his disciples had also
been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, the mother of Jesus
said to him, "They have no wine." 4 Jesus said to her, "Woman, what have
you to do with me? My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants,
"Do whatever he tells you." 6 Now six stone jars were standing there, according
to the manner for purification of the Jews, each holding twenty or thirty
gallons. 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled
them up to the brim. 8 He said to them, "Now draw some out, and take it to
the master of the feast." So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast
had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it had come
from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the
feast called the bridegroom. 10 And he said to him, "Every man sets out the
good wine first; and when the guests have drunk freely, then the poor wine;
but you have kept the good wine until now." 11 This, the first of his signs,
Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples
believed in him. </p>

1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi,
we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs
that you do unless God is with him." 3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly,
I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter
a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Truly,
truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot
enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to
you, 'You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you
hear the sound of it, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it
goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said
to him, "How can this be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you the teacher of
Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? 11 Truly, truly, I say
to you, we speak of what we know, and testify to what we have seen; but you
do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you earthly things and you
do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 13 No
one has ascended into heaven, but he who came from heaven - the Son of Man.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son
of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might
be saved. 18 He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not
believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come
into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds
were evil. 20 For every one who does evil hates the light, and does not come
to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth
comes to the light, that it may be clearly seen that his deeds have been done
in God." </p>

22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the land
of Judea, and there he remained with them and baptized. 23 Now John also
was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and
people came and were baptized. 24 For John had not yet been put in prison.
25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over
purifying. 26 And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with
you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified-behold, he is baptizing,
and all are going to him." 27 John answered, "A man can receive only what
is given to him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
'I am not the Christ,' but I have been sent before him. 29 He who has the

4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a
city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob
gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, wearied as he
was from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said
to her, "Give me a drink." 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city
to buy food. 9 Then the woman of Samaria said to him, "How is it that you,
being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings
with Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and
who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked
him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him,
"Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where do you get
that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us
the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his cattle?"
13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.
The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling
up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water,
that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come
here." 17 The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You
are right in saying, 'I have no husband'; 18 for you have had five husbands,
and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly."
19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20 Our
fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is
the place where men ought to worship." 21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe
me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will
you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what
we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now
is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth,
for such the Father seeks to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who
worship him must worship in spirit and truth." 25 The woman said to him,
"I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he
will tell us all things." 26 Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am he."
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
27 Just then his disciples came. And they marveled that
he was talking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you wish?" or, "Why
are you talking with her?" 28 Then the woman left her water jar, and went
away into the city, and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told
me all that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" 30 They went out of the
city and came to him. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi,
eat." 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
33 So the disciples said to one another, "Has any one brought him food?"
34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and
to finish his work. 35 Do you not say, 'There are yet four months and then
comes the harvest'? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the
fields! They are already white for harvest. 36 And he who reaps receives
wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice
together. 37 For here the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' 38
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored,
and you have entered into their labor." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
39 Many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him
because of the woman's testimony, "He told me all that I ever did." 40 So
when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them; and he
stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42
They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said;
now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man is indeed the
Savior of the world." </p>

by the lake; but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their
nets. 3 Then he got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him
to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people

into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch." 5 And Simon answered,
"Master, we toiled all night and caught nothing! But at your word I will
let down the nets." 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number
of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 So they signaled to their partners

boats, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down
at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!"

they had taken; 10 and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee,

16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought
up. And as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day,

him. And he opened the book, and found the place where it was written: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to
say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." 2 And all
spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out
of his mouth; and they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?" 23 He said to them,
"Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself! Do
here also in your own country what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"
24 Then he said, "Truly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own
country. 25 But I tell you truly, there were many widows in Israel in the
days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and
there was a great famine throughout all the land; 26 but Elijah was sent
to none of them except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who
was a widow. 27 And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet
Elisha; and not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian." 28
When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath. 29 And

sitting at table with them. 30 And the Pharisees and their scribes complained
against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors
and sinners?" 31 And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need
of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 I have not come to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance."</p>

21 And when Jesus had crossed over again by the boat to
the other side, a great crowd gathered around him; and he was by the sea.
22 Then came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. And seeing
him, he fell at his feet, 23 and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, "My
little daughter is at the point of death. Come and lay your hands on her,
so that she may be healed, and live." 24 So Jesus went with him. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
And a great crowd followed him and thronged around him.
25 And there was a woman who had endured a flow of blood for twelve years,
26 and she had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that
she owned, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 When she heard about
Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For
she said, "If I touch even his clothes, I shall be made well." 29 And immediately
the bleeding stopped; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her
disease. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone
out from him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you,
and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" 32 And he looked around to see who had
done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell
down before him in fear and trembling and told him the whole truth. 34 And
he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and
be healed of your disease." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
35 While he was still speaking, some came from the ruler
of the synagogue's house who said, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the
Teacher any further?" 36 But ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler
of the synagogue, "Do not be afraid; only believe." 37 And he allowed no
one to follow him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. 38
When they came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, he saw a tumult,
and people weeping and wailing loudly. 39 And when he came in, he said to
them, "Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping."
40 And they laughed at him. But after he put them all outside, he took the
child's father and mother and those who were with him, and went in where
the child was. 41 He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha cumi!"
which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise." 42 Immediately the girl
stood up and walked (she was twelve years of age). And they were overcome
with great amazement. 43 He strictly charged them that no one should know
this, and told them to give her something to eat. </p>

who was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet and begged him
to come to his house, 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years
of age, and she was dying. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
But as he went, the people pressed round him. 43 And a
woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years and could not be healed by
anyone, 44 came up behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment; and
immediately her flow of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, "Who touched me?"
When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the multitudes surround you and
press upon you!" 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me; for I know that
power has gone out from me." 47 When the woman saw that she was not hidden,
she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence
of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately
healed. 48 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go
in peace."</p>

49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the
ruler of the synagogue's house and said, "Your daughter is dead; do not trouble

be afraid; only believe, and she will be well." 51 When he came into the
house he permitted no one to go in with him except Peter, James, and John,
and the father and mother of the girl. 52 Now all were wailing and mourning
for her; but he said, "Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping." 53 And
they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But he took her by the
hand and called, saying, "Child, arise." 55 Then her spirit returned, and
she got up at once. And he directed that something should be given her to
eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but he charged them to tell no one

5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to
him, asking for help, 6 and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed
at home, in terrible distress." 7 And Jesus said to him, "I will come and
heal him." 8 But the centurion answered him, "Lord, I am not worthy to have

9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say
to this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and
to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." 10 When Jesus heard him, he marveled,

There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13 Then to the centurion Jesus

sent friends to him, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I
am not worthy to have you come under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not even
consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching
in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
every disease and every sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion
for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers
are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into
his harvest."</p>

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them
authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease
and every sickness. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first,
Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax
collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot,
and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them: "Do
not go among the Gentiles, or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 But go
rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And preach as you go,
saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely
give. 9 Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, 10 nor bag for
your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker is
worthy of his food. 11 Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who
in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out. 12 As you enter the house,
give it your greeting. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come
upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if
any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from
your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will
be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah
than for that town. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves.
Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 But beware of men,
for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18 You will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony
to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry
about how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say
will be given to you in that hour; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the
Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Now brother will deliver up
brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against
parents and have them put to death. 22 And you will be hated by all for my
name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute
you in one city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you will not have
gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant
above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher,
and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house
Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
26 "So do not fear them. For there is nothing covered
that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell
you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your
ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear him who can destroy both soul and
body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them
will fall to the ground apart from your Father's will. 30 But even the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more
value than many sparrows. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
32 "Therefore whoever acknowledges me before men, him
I will also acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever
denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth.
I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man
'against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law; 36 and a man's enemies will be those of his own
household.' 37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of
me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38
and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39
He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake
will find it. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
40 "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives

man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water
because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."</p>

7 And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them
out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 8 He commanded
them to take nothing for the journey except a staff-no bag, no bread, no
money in their belts-9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. 10
And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave

11 Soon afterward, he went to a city called Nain, and
his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he came near the
gate of the city, behold, a dead man was being carried out, the only son
of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the city was with
her. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her,
"Do not weep." 14 Then he came and touched the open coffin, and those who
carried him stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." 15
The dead man sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. 16

2 Now when John heard in prison about the works of Christ,

to come, or shall we look for another?" 4 And Jesus answered them, "Go and
tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight and the

feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed

had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet,

was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side.

and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. 39 And she had a sister
called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his word. 40 But
Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord,
do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then
to help me." 41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried

instead of a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give

13 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my
brother to divide the inheritance with me." 14 But he said to him, "Man,
who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?" 15 And he said to them, "Take
heed, and beware of all covetousness; for a man's life does not consist in
the abundance of his possessions." 16 And he told them a parable, saying:
"The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought
to himself, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?' 18
And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger
ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say
to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your
ease; eat, drink, and be merry."' 20 But God said to him, 'Fool! This night
your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which
you have prepared?' 21 So is he who
lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
22 Then he said to his disciples, "Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about your body, what
you will put on. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.
24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse
nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the
birds! 25 And which of you by worrying can add a single cubit to his span
of life? 26 If you then are not able to do this very little thing, why are
you anxious about the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither
toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. 28 But if God so clothes the grass, which today is in
the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe
you, O you of little faith! 29 And do not seek what you will eat or what
you will drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all the nations of the world
seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But
seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. 32 Do not
fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves purses
that do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where
no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
35 "Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning, 36
and be like men who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding
feast, so that they may open to him immediately when he comes and knocks.
37 Blessed are those servants whom the master finds watching when he comes.
Truly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit at table,
and will come and serve them. 38 If he comes in the second watch, or in the
third, and finds them so, blessed are those servants. 39 But know this, that
if the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he
would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40 Therefore you also
must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable to
us, or to all?" 42 And the Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise
steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their
portion of food at the proper time? 43 Blessed is that servant whom his master
will find so doing when he comes. 44 Truly, I say to you, he will set him
over all his possessions. 45 But if that servant says to himself, 'My master
is delayed in coming,' and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants,
and to eat and drink and get drunk, 46 the master of that servant will come
on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour he is not aware of,
and he will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 And that servant who knew his master's will, and did not ready himself
or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he
who did not know, and committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten
with few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and
to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask the more. </p>

10 Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the
Sabbath. 11 And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen
years; she was bent over and could not straighten up at all. 12 When Jesus
saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from
your infirmity." 13 And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was
made straight, and praised God. 14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant
because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six
days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be healed, and
not on the Sabbath day." 15 Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites!
Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall,
and lead it away to water it? 16 Then ought not this woman, a daughter of
Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years, be loosed on the Sabbath

many things in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow his seed. 4 And

them. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and

field; 32 it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the
greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come

which, when it is sown on the ground, is the smallest of all seeds in the

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus
went up to </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a multitude
of disabled people, blind, lame, paralyzed. 5 One man who was there had been
an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew
that he had been in this condition for a long time, he said to him, "Do you
want to be made well?" 7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no man to
put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming,
another steps down before me." 8 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed,
and walk." 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the
man who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry
your bed." 11 But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me,
'Take up your bed, and walk.'" 12 They asked him, "Who is the man who said
to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?" 13 Now the man who had been healed
did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in
that place. 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him,
"See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse may happen to you."
15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him
well. 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he was doing
these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, "My Father is working
still, and I am working." 18 Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill
him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his
Father, making himself equal with God. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
19 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the
Son can do nothing of himself, but only what he sees the Father doing; for
whatever he does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and
shows him all things that he himself does; and he will show him greater works
than these, that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and
gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the
Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 that all
may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the
Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you,
he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; and
shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. 25 Truly,
truly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear
the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the
Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in
himself, 27 and has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is
the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming when all
who are in the graves will hear his voice 29 and come forth - those who have
done good, to the resurrection of life, and those </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
30 "I can do nothing of myself; as I hear, I judge; and
my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who
sent me. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
31 "If I bear witness of myself, my testimony is not true.
32 There is another who bears witness of me, and I know that the testimony
which he bears of me is true. 33 You have sent to John, and he has borne
witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony which I receive is from man;
but I say this that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp,
and you were willing to rejoice for a time in his light. 36 But the testimony
which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father
has given me to finish, these very works which I am doing, bear witness of
me, that the Father has sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself
testified of me. You have never heard his voice, nor seen his form. 38 And
you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe him whom
he has sent. 39 You search the Scriptures, because in them you think that
you have eternal life; and these are they that testify of me. 40 Yet you
refuse to come to me that you may have life. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
41 "I do not receive glory from men. 42 But I know you,
that you do not have the love of God in you. 43 I have come in my Father's
name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you
will receive. 44 How can you believe, who receive glory from one another,
and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God? 45 Do not think that
I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you
set your hope. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote
about me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe
my words?"</p>

because he had married her. 18 For John had said to Herod, "It is not lawful
for you to have your brother's wife." 19 And Herodias had a grudge against
him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, 20 for Herod feared John

heard him, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. 21 But an
opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his high officers

up to half of my kingdom." 24 So she went out and said to her mother, "What

foot from the towns. 14 When Jesus went ashore he saw a great throng; and
he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening,
the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already
getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy
themselves some food." 16 Jesus said, "They do not need to go away. You give
them something to eat." 17 They said to him, "We have only five loaves here

not be afraid." 28 And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat
and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the
crowd. 46 And after he had left them, he went up on the mountain to pray.
47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone
on land. 48 And he saw the disciples straining at the oars, for the wind
was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking
on the sea. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking
on the sea they thought it was a ghost, and cried out; 50 for they all saw
him, and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take
courage! It is I; do not be afraid." 51 Then he climbed into the boat with
them, and the wind ceased. And they were completely amazed, 52 for they had
not understood about the loaves, because their hearts were hardened. </p>

11 But when the crowds learned it, they followed him; and he welcomed them
and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need
of healing. 12 Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said
to him, "Send the crowd away, to go to the surrounding villages and country,
to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a deserted place." 13 But
he said to them, "You give them something to eat." And they said, "We have
no more than five loaves and two fish-unless we go and buy food for all these
people." 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples,
"Make them sit down in groups of about fifty each." 15 And they did so, and
made them all sit down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking
up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to
set before the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and they took
up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over. </p>

2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw
his signs which he performed on those who were diseased. 4 Now the Passover,
the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing
a great multitude coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy
bread, that these people may eat?" 6 But this he said to test him, for he
himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii
would not buy enough bread for each one of them to have a little." 8 One
of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 "There is
a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they
among so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was
much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed
them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 And when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather
up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost." 13 So they gathered
them up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves,
left over by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus
did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to
make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself. </p>

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark,
and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea rose because a strong wind
was blowing. 19 So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw
Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.
20 But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." 21 Then they were glad
to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where
they were going. </p>

answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you
saw the signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not labor
for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life,

ate the manna in the desert; </p>

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

55 </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He who </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the </p>

on </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread which came down from </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
heaven, not as your fathers ate the manna and died. He who eats this </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
bread will live for ever." 59 This he said in the synagogue as he taught
in </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
Capernaum. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
60 Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, "This

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
hard saying; who can listen to it?" 61 When Jesus knew in himself that </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
his disciples complained about this, he said to them, "Does this offend </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the </p>

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
65 And he said, "This is why I told you that no one can

1 Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem
came to Jesus and said, 2 "Why do your disciples transgress the tradition
of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat." 3 He answered
them, "And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your
tradition? 4 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother'; and,
'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' 5 But you say
that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help you might have
received from me is a gift to God' 6 he is not to honor his father with it.
Thus you have made the word of God of no effect for the sake of your tradition.
7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, when he said: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

and understand: 11 not what goes into the mouth defiles a man, but what comes
out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12 Then the disciples came and said
to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this
saying?" 13 He answered, "Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted
will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides. And if a blind
man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit." 15 But Peter said to him,
"Explain the parable to us." 16 So Jesus said, "Are you also still without
understanding? 17 Do you not yet see that whatever enters the mouth goes
into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But those things which proceed out
of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the
heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornications, theft, false witness,
slander. 20 These are what defile a man; but to eat with unwashed hands does
not defile a man."</p>

1 Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had
come from Jerusalem gathered together to him, 2 they saw some of his disciples
eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees
and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands in a special way,
holding the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace,
they do not eat unless they wash themselves. And there are many other traditions
which they observe, the washing of cups and pitchers and copper vessels.
) 5 The Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live
according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with impure hands?" 6 And
he said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites; as it is written:
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
'This people honors me with their lips, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

teaching

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
8 You let go of the commandment of God, and hold on to the tradition of men."
9 And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
commandment of God, in order to keep your tradition! 10 For Moses said, 'Honor
your father and your mother'; and, 'He who curses father or </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
mother, let him be put to death.' 11 But you say that if a man says to his
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
father or mother, 'Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me
is Corban' (that is, a gift devoted to God), 12 then you no longer let him
do anything for his father or mother, 13 thus making void the word of God
through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you
do."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 And he called all the people to him again, and said
to them, "Hear me, everyone, and understand: 15 there is nothing outside
a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out
of a man are what defile him." 17 When he had left the crowd and entered
the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 So he said to them,
"Are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever enters
a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 since it does not enter his heart
but his stomach, and so passes on?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.) 20
And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. 21 For from
within, out of the heart of men, come evil thoughts, fornications, theft,
murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander,
pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within, and they defile
a man."</p>

disciples came and urged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying out
after us." 24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house
of Israel." 25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
26 And he answered, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw
it to the dogs." 27 "Yes, Lord," she said, "yet even the dogs eat the crumbs
that fall from their masters' table." 28 Then Jesus answered her, "O woman,
great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter
was healed from that very hour.</p>

24 From there he arose and went away to the region of
Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and did not want anyone to know it;
yet he could not be hidden. 25 But a woman whose little daughter was possessed
by an unclean spirit heard about him, and she came and fell at his feet.
26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth. And she begged him
to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 And he said to her, "Let the children
first be fed, for it is not right to take the children's bread and throw
it to the dogs." 28 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs under
the table eat the children's crumbs." 29 Then he said to her, "For this saying
you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter." 30 She went home,
and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone. </p>

1 After this Jesus went about in Galilee; he would not
go about in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2 Now the Jews' feast
of </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
Tabernacles was at hand. 3 So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
go to Judea, that your disciples may see the works you are doing. 4 For no
one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things,
show yourself to the world." 5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
6 Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always
ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it
that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up
to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come." 9 Having said this, he
remained in Galilee. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then
he also went up, not publicly, but in secret. 11 The Jews were looking for
him at the feast, and saying, "Where is he?" 12 And there was much complaining
among the people about him. Some said, "He is a good man"; others said, "No,
on the contrary, he deceives the people." 13 However, no one spoke openly
of him for fear of the Jews. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into
the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marveled, saying, "How did this man
get such learning, having never studied?" 16 Jesus answered them, "My teaching
is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone is willing to do his will,
he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own
authority. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he who
seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do
you seek to kill me?" 20 The people answered, "You have a demon. Who is seeking
to kill you?" 21 Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but
from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the
Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be
broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole
body well? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not
this the man whom they seek to kill? 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and
they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that
he is the Christ? 27 But we know where this man is from; when the Christ
comes, no one will know where he is from." 28 Then Jesus cried out, as he
taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I am from; and I have
not come on my own, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he sent me." 30 Then they sought
to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet
come. 31 And many of the people believed in him, and they said, "When the
Christ comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?" </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things
about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest
him. 33 Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer,
and then I go to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me, and you will not find
me; where I am you cannot come." 35 The Jews said to one another, "Where
does this man intend to go that we shall not find him? Does he intend to
go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does
he mean when he said, 'You will seek me and you will not find me,' and, 'Where
I am you cannot come'?" </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38
He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water." 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those
who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had not been given,
because Jesus was not yet glorified. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
40 When they heard these words, some of the people said,
"Surely this is the prophet." 41 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some
said, "Will the Christ come from Galilee? 42 Has not the scripture said that
the Christ comes from David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?"
43 So there was a division among the people because of him. 44 Some of them
wanted to seize him, but no one laid hands on him. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
45 The officers then went back to the chief priests and
Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" 46 The officers
answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" 47 The Pharisees answered them,
"Are you deceived, you also? 48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees
believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed."
50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before, and who was one of them, said
to them, 51 "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing
and learning what he is doing?" 52 They replied, "Are you from Galilee, too?
Search and look, and you will find that no prophet is to rise out of Galilee."

53 Then each went to his own house. 1 But Jesus went to
the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple;
all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes
and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And when they
had set her in the midst, 4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught
in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such.
What do you say?" 6 They said this to test him, that they might have something
of which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with
his finger. 7 And when they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to
them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone
at her." 8 And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those
who heard it went away one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the
last, and Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus
straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned
you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn
you; go, and sin no more." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light
of the world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have
the light of life." 13 The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness
of yourself; your testimony is not true." 14 Jesus answered, "Even if I bear
witness of myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and
where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge,
my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent
me. 17 In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am One who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears
witness of me." 19 Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered,
"You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father
also." 20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple;
but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
21 Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and
you will seek me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."
22 Then the Jews said, "Will he kill himself, since he says, 'Where I go
you cannot come'?" 23 He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above.
You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I told to you
that you would die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am he,
you will die in your sins." 25 They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said
to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have
much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and
I declare to the world what I have heard from him." 27 They did not understand
that he spoke to them of the Father. 28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted
up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing
on my own authority but speak just what the Father taught me. 29 And he who
sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing
to him." 30 As he spoke these words, many believed in him. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
31 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him,
"If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples. 32 And you will
know the truth, and the truth will make you free." 33 They answered him,
"We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone.
How can you say, 'You will be made free'?" 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly,
truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a
slave does not continue in the house forever, but a son continues forever.
36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that
you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word has
no place in you. 38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do
what you have heard from your Father." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
39 They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said
to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the things Abraham
did, 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which
I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You do the deeds of your
father." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one
Father - God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would
love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I have not come of my own
accord, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because
you are not able to hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and
you want to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning,
and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father
of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which
of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason you do not hear them
is that you are not of God." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
48 The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying
that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?" 49 Jesus answered, "I do not
have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not
seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge. 51
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word he will never see death."
52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died,
as did the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never
taste death.' 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so
did the prophets. Who do you claim to be?" 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify
myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you
say that he is your God. 55 But you have not known him; I know him. If I
said, I do not know him, I would be a liar like you; but I do know him and
keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and
was glad." 57 The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old,
and have you seen Abraham?" 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to
you, before Abraham was, I am." </p>

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And
his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that
he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents
sinned. But that the works of God might be revealed in him, 4 we must work
the works of him who sent me, while it is day.
Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the
world, I am the light of the world." 6 As he said this, he spat on the ground
and made clay of the saliva, and anointed the man's eyes with the clay. 7
And he said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means, Sent).
So he went and washed, and came back seeing. 8 The neighbors and those who
had seen him before as a beggar, said, "Is not this the man who used to sit
and beg?" 9 Some said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he is like him."
He said, "I am the man."10 They said to him, "Then how were your eyes opened?"
11 He answered and said, "A man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes
and said to me, 'Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed,
and I received sight." 12 They said to him, "Where is he?" He said, "I do
not know." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly
been blind. 14 Now it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and opened
his eyes. 15 Then the Pharisees also asked him again how he had received
his sight. He said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I
see." 16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does
not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do
such signs?" And there was a division among them. 17 So they again said to
the blind man, "What do you say about him, since he has opened your eyes?"
He said, "He is a prophet."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
18 The Jews did not believe that he had been blind, and
had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man who had
received his sight. 19 And they asked them, "Is this your son, who you say
was born blind? How then does he now see?" 20 His parents answered, "We know
that this is our son, and that he was born blind; 21 but how he now sees
we do not know, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him. He is of age;
he will speak for himself." 22 His parents said this because they feared
the Jews, for the Jews had agreed already that if anyone confessed that he
was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23 Therefore his parents
said, "He is of age; ask him."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
24 So for the second time they called the man who had
been blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory; we know that this man is
a sinner." 25 He answered, "Whether he is a sinner or not, I do not know.
One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see." 26 Then they said
to him, "What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?" 27 He answered
them, "I have told you already and you did not listen. Why do you want to
hear it again? Do you want to become his disciples, too?" 28 Then they reviled
him and said, "You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses. 29 We
know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this fellow, we do not know where
he comes from." 30 The man answered, "Why, this is a marvel! You do not know
where he comes from, and yet he opened my eyes. 31 We know that God does
not listen to sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his
will, he listens to him. 32 Never since the world began has it been heard
that anyone opened the eyes of a man born blind. 33 If this man were not
from God, he could do nothing." 34 They answered him, "You were born in utter
sin, and are you teaching us?" And they cast him out. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and when he
found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" 36 He answered, "Who
is he, sir, that I may believe in him?" 37 Jesus said to him, "You have seen
him, and it is he who speaks with you." 38 Then he said, "Lord, I believe!"
And he worshiped him. 39 Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this
world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become
blind."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
40 Then some of the Pharisees who were with him heard
this, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
and said to him, "Are we blind also?" 41 Jesus said to them, "If you were
blind, you would have no guilt; but now that you say, 'We see,' your sin
remains. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the man who does not enter
the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in by some other way, he is a thief
and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls
his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his
own, he goes on before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his
voice. 5 A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for
they do not know the voice of strangers." 6 This figure Jesus used with them,
but they did not understand what he was saying to them. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say
to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me are thieves
and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone
enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they
may have life, and have it abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd. The good
shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 But he who is a hireling and
not the shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves
the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13
He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 I am
the good shepherd; I know my sheep, and my sheep know me-15 just as the Father
knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also,
and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
17 For this reason my Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I
may take it again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own
accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This
command I have received from my Father."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
19 There was again a division among the Jews because of
these words. 20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is mad. Why listen
to him?" 21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one who has a demon.
Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?" </p>

13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that the Son of Man is?" 14 And they
said, "Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah
or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
17 And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and
blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And
I tell you, that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the
keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound
in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." 20
Then he strictly charged his disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

21 From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples

chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised on the third day.
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him saying, "Never, Lord! This
shall never happen to you!" 23 But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind
me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are not mindful of the
things of God, but the things of men." 24 Then Jesus said to his disciples,
"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 What good will it be
for a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what can
a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is to come with
his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each man according
to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here

1 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and
John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 And he
was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became as white as the light. 3 And behold, there appeared to them Moses
and Elijah, talking with him. 4 And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good
for us to be here; if you wish, I will make here three tabernacles-one for
you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 5 While he was still speaking, behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them; and a voice from the cloud said, "This
is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to him!" 6 When the
disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe.
7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Rise. Don't be afraid." 8 And
when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
9 And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded
them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead."
10 And the disciples asked him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah
must come first?" 11 Jesus replied, "Elijah is coming first and will restore
all things. 12 But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did
not know him but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man
is about to suffer at their hands." 13 Then the disciples understood that
he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him
and kneeling before him said, 15 "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an
epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and
often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they could
not heal him." 17 Then Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here
to me." 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy
was cured from that moment. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately
and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20 So he said to them, "Because
of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain
of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,'
and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." </p>

2 After six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and
John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured
before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling, exceedingly white, as no
launderer on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah
with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus,
"Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles-one
for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 For he did not know what to
say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them;
and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!"
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them
but Jesus only. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
9 And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged
them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from
the dead. 10 So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what the
rising from the dead meant. 11 And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say
that Elijah must come first?" 12 Then he said to them, "Elijah does come
first and restores all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man, that
he must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 But I tell you
that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is
written of him."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great
crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when they
saw him, all the people were greatly amazed, and ran to him and greeted him.
16 And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" 17 And one of
the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, who has a mute
spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the
mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast
out the spirit, but they could not." 19 He answered him, "O faithless generation,
how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to
me." 20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately
it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming
at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, "How long has he been like this?"
And he said, "From childhood. 22 And it has often thrown him both into the
fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have
pity on us and help us." 23 Jesus said to him, "If you can, all things are
possible to him who believes." 24 Immediately the father of the child cried
out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief!" 25 And when Jesus saw that a
crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it,
"You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter
him </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
again." 26 And the spirit cried out, convulsed him terribly, and came out.
And the boy was like a corpse; so that many of them said, "He is dead." 27
But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when
he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could
we not cast it out?" 29 And he said to them, "This kind can only come out
by prayer."</p>

28 Now about eight days after these sayings, he took with
him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. 29 And
as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his robe became
white and glistening. 30 And behold, two men talked with him, Moses and Elijah,
31 who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to
accomplish at Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and those with him were heavy with
sleep; and when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men
who stood with him. 33 As the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus,
"Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles:
one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-not knowing what he said.
34 While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they
were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 And a voice came out of the cloud,
saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!" 36 When the voice had
spoken, Jesus was found alone. But they kept quiet, and told no one in those
days any of the things they had seen. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain,
a great crowd met him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher,
I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child. 39 And behold, a
spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him so that he
foams at the mouth, and will hardly leave him, bruising him. 40 I begged
your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." 41 Then Jesus answered,
"O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear
with you? Bring your son here." 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him
and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy,
and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the majesty
of God. </p>

you both will come and say to you, 'Give place to this man,' and then you
will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10 But when you are invited,
go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to
you, 'Friend, go up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of
all who sit at table with you. 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be
humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." 12 Then he also said
to the one who invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not
invite your friends or your brothers, your relatives or rich neighbors, lest
they also invite you back, and you be repaid. 13 But when you give a feast,

have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to
have me excused.' 20 Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore
I cannot come.' 21 So the servant came back and reported this to his master.

you commanded has been done, and still there is room.' 23 Then the master

not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is
lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders,

11 Then he said: "There was a man who had two sons. 12
And the younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of
property that falls to me.' So he divided his living between them. 13 Not
many days after, the younger son gathered together all he had and took his
journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in loose
living. 14 And when he had spent everything, there arose a severe famine
in that country, and he began to be in want. 15 So he went and joined himself
to a citizen of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine
ate, and no one gave him anything. 17 But when he came to himself, he said,
'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and
here I perish with hunger! 18 I will arise and go to my father and will say
to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. 19 I am no
longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants."'
20 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a great way
off, his father saw him and had compassion for him, and ran and fell on his
neck and kissed him. 21 And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against
heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' 22 But
the father said to his servants, 'Bring out the best robe and put it on him,
and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. 23 And bring the fatted
calf and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; 24 for this my son was dead
and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' And they began to be merry.
</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
25 "Now his older son was in the field. And as he came
and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one
of the servants and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said to him,
'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because
he has received him safe and sound.' 28 But he was angry and refused to go
in. So his father came out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father,
'Behold, these many years I have been serving you, and I never disobeyed
your command; yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry
with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your
living with harlots, you killed for him the fatted calf!' 31 And he said
to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. 32 It
was right that we should make merry and be glad, for this your brother was
dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.'"</p>

1 He also said to his disciples: "There was a certain
rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this
man was wasting his goods. 2 So he called him and said to him, 'What is this
I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer
be steward.' 3 The steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master
is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and
I am ashamed to beg. 4 I have decided what to do, so that people may receive
me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.' 5 So he called
in each one of his master's debtors, and he said to the first, 'How much
do you owe my master?' 6 And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' So he
said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' 7 Then
he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures
of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' 8 So the master
commended the dishonest steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons
of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the
sons of light. 9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of
unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal
dwellings. 10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much;
and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. 11 If
then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will trust
you with the true riches? 12 And if you have not been faithful in what is
another's, who will give you what is your own? 13 No servant can serve two
masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will
be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all
this, and they scoffed at him. 15 He said to them, "You are those who justify
yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed
among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets
were until John. Since that time the good news of the kingdom of God is preached,
and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 But it is easier for heaven and
earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fail. 18 Everyone who
divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries
a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery. </p>

and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And a certain beggar
named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 longing to be fed with
what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover the dogs came and licked his
sores. 22 So the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham's
bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 And in Hades, being in torment,
he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus
to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in agony
in this flame.' 25 But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime
you received your good things, and Lazarus received evil things; but now
he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between
us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from

20 Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom
of God would come, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with
observation; 21 nor will they say, 'Look, here it is!' or 'There!' for behold,
the kingdom of God is within you." 22 Then he said to the disciples, "The
days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of
Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, 'Look here!' or
'Look there!' Do not go after them or follow them. 24 For as the lightning
flashes and lights up the sky from one part to the other, so will the Son
of Man be in his day. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected
by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it
be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They ate, they drank, they married,
they were given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and
the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was in the days
of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they
built; 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom fire and sulfur rained
from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 So will it be on the day when the
Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let him who is on the housetop, with
his goods in the house, not come down to take them away. And likewise let
him who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever
seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve
it. 34 I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be
taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding together; one will
be taken and the other left." 37 And they said to him, "Where, Lord?" He

1 Then he told them a parable, to show that they ought
always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said: "In a certain city there was
a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man. 3 And there was a widow
in that city who kept coming to him and saying, 'Grant me justice against

'Though I neither fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow bothers
me, I will give her justice, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"

bring about justice for his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he
delay long over them? 8 I tell you that he will bring about justice for them
speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on

stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like
other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.' 13 But the tax
collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but
beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!' 14 I tell you,
this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone
who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."

or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for
the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time-house
and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions,

18 Now a certain ruler asked him, "Good Teacher, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 19 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you
call me good? No one is good but God alone. 20 You know the commandments:
'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness,
Honor your father and mother.'" 21 And he said, "All these I have kept from
my youth." 22 When Jesus heard it, he said to him, "One thing you still lack.
Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure
in heaven; and come, follow me." 23 But when he heard this, he became very
sad, for he was extremely rich. </p>

"What is impossible with men is possible with God." 28 Then Peter said, "Behold,

many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."</p>

1 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went
out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. 2 Now when he
had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his
vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing
idle in the marketplace, 4 and to them he said, 'You go into the vineyard
too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. 5 Again he went
out about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, and did the same thing. 6 And
about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said
to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?' 7 They said to him,
'Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard,
and whatever is right you will receive.' 8 And when evening came, the owner
of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and pay them their
wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' 9 And when those came who
were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. 10 So
when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them
also received a denarius. 11 And when they had received it, they complained
against the landowner, 12 saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour,
and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the
day.' 13 But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did
you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what is yours and go your way.
I wish to give to this last man the same as I gave to you. 15 Is it not lawful
for me to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am
generous?' 16 So the last will be first, and the first will be last."</p>

11 As they heard these things, he went on to tell a parable,
because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom
of God was to appear immediately. 12 Therefore he said: "A certain nobleman
went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return.
13 So he called ten of his servants, gave them ten minas, and said to them,
'Do business till I come.' 14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation
after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.' 15 And so
it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded
these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that
he might know what they had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying,
' Master, your mina has earned ten minas more.' 17 And he said to him, 'Well
done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, be in
authority over ten cities.' 18 And the second came, saying, 'Master, your
mina has earned five minas.' 19 Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over
five cities.' 20 Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which
I have kept laid away in a handkerchief; 21 for I was afraid of you, because
you are a hard man. You take up what you did not lay down, and reap what
you did not sow.' 22 He said to him, 'I will judge you out of your own mouth,
you wicked servant! You knew that I was a hard man, taking up what I did
not lay down and reaping what I did not sow? 23 Why then did you not put
my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'
24 And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it
to him who has ten minas.' 25 And they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas
already!' 26 'I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but
from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 27 But those enemies
of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay

So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, "How long will you keep us
in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 25 Jesus answered them,
"I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name,
they bear witness of me; 26 but you do not believe, because you are not of

do not stone you, but for blasphemy, and because you, being a man, make yourself
God." 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, you
are gods'? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the
Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified
and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the
Son of God'? 37 If I do not do the works of my father, do not believe me;

1 Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the
village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was this Mary who anointed the
Lord with fragrant oil and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus
was sick. 3 So the sisters sent to him, saying, "Lord, he whom you love is
sick." 4 When Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not unto death,
but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through
it." 5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 So, when he heard
that he was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was. 7 Then
after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again." 8 The disciples
said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you, and are
you going there again?" 9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in
the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees
the light of this world. 10 But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because
the light is not in him." 11 These things he said, and after that he said
to them, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to wake him up."
12 His disciples said, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will recover." 13 Now Jesus
had spoken of his death, but they thought that he meant taking rest in sleep.
14 So then Jesus told them plainly, "Lazarus is dead; 15 and for your sake
I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to
him." 16 Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples,
"Let us also go, that we may die with him." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been
in the tomb four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off,
19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning
their brother. 20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met
him, but Mary sat in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had
been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever
you ask of God, God will give you." 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will
rise again." 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the
resurrection at the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection
and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live; 26
and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son
of God, who is to come into the world."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
28 And when she had said this, she went her way and called
Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." 29
When she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him. 30 Now Jesus had not
yet come to the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met
him. 31 The Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when
they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing
that she was going to the tomb to weep there. 32 Then Mary, when she came
where Jesus was and saw him, fell at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you
had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 When Jesus saw her weeping,
and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit
and troubled. 34 And he said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him,
"Lord, come and see." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
35 Jesus wept. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
36 Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37 But
some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have
kept this man from dying?"</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It
was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there
is a bad odor, for he has been dead four days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did
I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?"
41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father,
I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but
I said this for the benefit of the people standing by, that they may believe
that you sent me." 43 When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice,
"Lazarus, come out!" 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with
grave clothes, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind
him, and let him go."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come to Mary and
had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. 46 But some of them went to the
Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 Then the chief priests and
the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we to do? For this
man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will
believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and
our nation." 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year,
said to them, "You know nothing at all! 50 You do not understand that it
is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the
whole nation not perish." 51 He did not say this on his own, but being high
priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and
not for that nation only, but also that he would gather together into one
the children of God who were scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they
plotted to put him to death. </p>

55 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and many
went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in
the temple, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?" 57 Now
the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew
where he was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him. </p>

6 Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 a woman
came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive perfume, and she
poured it on his head as he sat at the table. 8 But when the disciples saw
it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste? 9 For this perfume might
have been sold for a high price and given to the poor." 10 But Jesus, aware
of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a
beautiful thing to me. 11 For you always have the poor with you, but you will
not always have me. 12 For in pouring this perfume on my body, she did it
to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is

of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how
to arrest him by stealth, and kill him. 2 But they said, "Not during the

this ointment wasted? 5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred
denarii and given to the poor." And they criticized her sharply. 6 But Jesus
said, "Let her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing

1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany
where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 There they made
him a supper; and Martha served, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at
the table with him. 3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure
nard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the
house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples,
Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, said, 5 "Why was this perfume
not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" 6 This he said,
not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief; and as he had
the money box, he used to take what was put into it. 7 Jesus said, "Let her

a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If any one says anything

33 "Hear another parable: there was a landowner who planted
a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a wine press in it and built a
tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country. 34
When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to
get his fruit. 35 And the tenants took his servants, beat one, killed one,
and stoned another. 36 Again he sent other servants, more than the first,
and they did the same to them. 37 Last of all, he sent his son to them saying,
'They will respect my son,' 38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said
to themselves, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
39 So they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. 40 Therefore,
when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?"
41 They said to him, "He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and
let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their
seasons." </p>

1 Then he began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted
a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place for the wine vat and built
a tower. And he leased it to vine dressers and went into a far country. 2
At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, to collect from them some
of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they took him and beat him, and sent
him away empty-handed. 4 Again he sent to them another servant, and they
wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. 5 And he sent another,
and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they
killed. 6 He still had one left to send, a beloved son.
He sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.' 7
But those tenants said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill
him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 So they took him and killed him,
and cast him out of the vineyard. 9 What will the owner of the vineyard do?
He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others.</p>

9 Then he began to tell the people this parable: "A man
planted a vineyard, leased it to vine-dressers, and went into another country
for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants, that
they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat
him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent another servant; him also
they beat and treated shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 He sent
a third; and they wounded him and cast him out. 13 Then the owner of the
vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they
will respect him.' 14 But when the tenants saw him, they reasoned among themselves
and said, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be
ours.' 15 So they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. What then
will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and destroy those
tenants, and give the vineyard to others." When they heard this, they said,
"May this never be!"</p>

1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying: 2
"The kingdom of heaven is like a king who arranged a marriage for his son,
3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding;
but they were not willing to come. 4 Again, he sent out other servants, saying,
'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and
fatted cattle are killed, and everything is ready. Come to thewedding.'"
5 But they made light of it and went off, one to his own farm, another to
his business. 6 And the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully,
and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those
murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding
is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the
highways, and invite to the marriage feast as many as you find.' 10 And those
servants went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both
bad and good; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 But when the
king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a
wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here
without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to
the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into
the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 For
many are called, but few are chosen."</p>

him in his talk. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the
Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are true, and teach the way
of God in truth, and you care for no man; for you do not regard the position
of men. 17 Tell us, then, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to
Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, "Why are you
testing me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the money for the tax." And they brought
him a denarius. 20 And he said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?"

23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection,
came to him and asked him a question, 24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said that
if a man dies, having no children, his brother must marry the widow, and
raise up children for his brother. 25 Now there were seven brothers among
us. The first one married and died, and having no children, he left his wife
to his brother. 26 So the second also, and the third, down to the seventh.
27 After them all, the woman died. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose
wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her." 29 But Jesus answered
them, "You are wrong, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power
of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but are like angels in heaven. 31 But as for the resurrection of the dead,
have you not read what was said to you by God, 32 'I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead,
but of the living." 33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished

for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child,
the man must take the wife, and raise up children for his brother. 20 Now
there were seven brothers; the first took a wife, and when he died left no
children. 21 And the second took her, and he died; leaving behind no children.
And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no children. Last
of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection, whose wife will she be?
For the seven had her as wife." 24 Jesus said to them, "Is not this why you
are wrong, that you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For
when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but are like angels in heaven. 26 And as for the dead being raised, have
you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush, how God
said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God

The first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second 31 and
then the third took her, and in the same way the seven died, and they left
no children. 32 Finally the woman died also. 33 In the resurrection, therefore,
whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife." 34 And Jesus said
to them, "The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those
who are considered worthy to attain that age and the resurrection from the
dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, 36 nor can they die any more,
for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about
the bush, where he calls the Lord 'the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac
and the God of Jacob.' 38 Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living,

Law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the great

28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing
with one another, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him, "Which
commandment is the first of all?" 29 Jesus answered, "The first is: 'Hear,
O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. 30 And you shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind,
and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
32 And the scribe said to him, "You are right, Teacher; you have well said
that God is one, and there is no other but he; 33 and to love him with all
the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and
to love one's neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices." 34 And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to
him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And after that no one dared

but do not practice. 4 They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them
on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
5 But they do all their works to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries
broad and the tassels of their garments long. 6 And they love the place of
honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and greetings in
the marketplaces, and to be called by men, 'Rabbi.' 8 But you are not to
be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master, and you are all brethren.
9 And do not call anyone on earth your 'Father,' for you have one Father,
he who is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called 'Teacher,' for you have
one Teacher, the Christ. 11 He who is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself
will be exalted. </p>

13 "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither enter </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
yourselves, nor do you allow those who would enter to go in. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
15 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For

16 "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'If any one swears
by the temple, it is nothing; but if any one swears by the gold of the temple,
he is bound by his oath.' 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold
or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, 'If anyone swears
by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift that is
on it, he is bound by his oath.' 19 You blind men! For which is greater,
the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 Therefore, he who swears
by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And he who swears by
the temple, swears by it and by him who dwells in it. 22 And he who swears
by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by him who sits on it. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For
you pay tithe of mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier
matters of the Law, justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have
done, without neglecting the others. 24 You blind guides, who strain out

you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full
of extortion and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside
of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe to
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs
which outwardly appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's
bones and all uncleanness. 28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous
to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
29 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,
30 And you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would
not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31
Thus you witness against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered
the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. 33 You
serpents! You brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?
34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes. Some of them you
will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute
from town to town, 35 that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on
the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son
of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly,
I say to you, all this will come upon this generation. </p>

20 Now there were some Greeks among those who went up
to </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
worship at the Feast. 21 Then they came to Philip, who was from </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22 Philip
went and told Andrew; and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 23 Jesus
answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground
and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. 25 He
who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will
keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where
I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will
honor. </p>

27 "Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father,
save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I came to this hour. 28 Father,
glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it,
and I will glorify it again." 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said
that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." 30 Jesus
answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the
judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself."
33 He said this to show by what death he was to die. 34 The crowd answered
him, "We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever; and how
can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
35 Then Jesus said to them, "A little while longer the light is with you.
Walk while you have the light, lest the darkness overtake you; he who walks
in the darkness does not know where he is going. 36 While you have the light,
believe in the light, that you may become sons of light." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
When Jesus had said this, he departed and hid himself
from them. 37 Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did
not believe in him; 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spoke: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
"Lord, who has believed our report? </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
And to
whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
40 "He has blinded their
eyes </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
and hardened
their hearts, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
lest they should see with their eyes, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
and understand
with their hearts and turn, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
so that I should heal them."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory and spoke of him. 42 Nevertheless
even among the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees
they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
44 Then Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in
me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And he who sees me sees
him who sent me. 46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes
in me should not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does
not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world
but to save the world. 48 He who rejects me and does not receive my words
has a judge; the word that I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.
49 For I have not spoken on my own authority; but the Father who sent me
gave me a command, what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his
command is eternal life. Whatever I say, therefore, I say just as the Father
has told me."</p>

saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of
wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed; for all these things
must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against

15 "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination
of desolation,' spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand)
16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let him who
is on the housetop not go down to take anything out of his house. 18 And
let him who is in the field not go back to get his clothes. 19 But woe for
those who are pregnant and for those who are nursing babies in those days!
20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then
there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning
of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not
been shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those
days will be shortened. 23 Then if any one says to you, 'Look, here is the
Christ!' or 'There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false
prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible,
even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 So if they say to
you, 'There he is, out in the desert,' do not go out; or, 'Here he is, in
the inner rooms,' do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the
east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the
days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving
in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and they did not
know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming

day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the owner of the house
had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have watched

1 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten
virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five
of them were foolish, and five were wise. 3 For when the foolish took their
lamps, they took no oil with them; 4 but the wise took oil in their flasks
with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered
and slept. 6 But at midnight there was a cry: 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come
out to meet him.' 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps
are going out.' 9 But the wise replied, 'No, there may not be enough for
both us and you; go rather to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.'
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready
went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 Afterward the
other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, lord, open to us!'
12 But he replied, 'Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.' 13

14 "For it will be like a man going on a journey, who
called his servants and entrusted his property to them. 15 To one he gave
five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his
ability. Then he went on his journey. 16 He who had received the five talents
went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. 17 So also,
he who had the two talents gained two more. 18 But he who had received the
one talent went and dug in the ground, and hid his master's money. 19 Now
after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts
with them. 20 So he who had received the five talents came and brought five
other talents, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; look, I
have gained five more talents.' 21 His master said to him, 'Well done, good
and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make
you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your master.' 22 He also
who had received the two talents came and said, 'Master, you delivered to
me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents.' 23 His master said
to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over
a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy
of your master.' 24 Then he who had received the one talent came and said,
'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and
gathering where you have not scattered seed. 25 So I was afraid, and went
and hid your talent in the </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 But his master answered him, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
'You wicked and lazy servant! You knew that I reap where I have not </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed? 27 Then you ought to </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
have received back my own with interest. 28 Therefore take the talent </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to every one
who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does
not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant
into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' </p>

31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the
angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations
will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another as
a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will put the sheep
on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to
those on his right hand, 'Come, you blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and
you took me in, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited
me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer
him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give
you drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and
clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or <br clear="All" style="page-break-before: always; ">

I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you
did it to me.'</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
41 "Then he will say to those on his left hand, 'Depart
from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil
and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty
and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not take me in,
naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit
me.' 44 Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or
thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister
to you?' 45 Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did not
do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.'

1 When Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from
this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he
loved them to the end. 2 And during supper, when the devil had already put
it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus,
knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he
had come from God and was going to God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his
garments, took a towel and girded himself. 5 After that, he poured water
into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with
the towel with which he was girded. 6 Then he came to Simon Peter. And Peter
said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7 Jesus answered him,
"You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
8 Peter said to him, "You shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered him,
"If I do not wash you, you have no part with me." 9 Simon Peter said to him,
"Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" 10 Jesus said to
him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean;
and you are clean, but not every one of you." 11 For he knew who was to betray
him; </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
12 When he had washed their feet, and taken his garments,
and </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
returned to his place, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to
you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to
wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should
do as I have done to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not

speaking of you all. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may
be fulfilled, 'he who ate my bread has lifted up his heel against me.' 19

21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit,
and testified, "Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." 22
The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. 23 One of
his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was leaning close to the breast of Jesus.
24 Simon Peter motioned to him and said, "Ask who it is of whom he speaks."
25 Then, leaning back on the breast of Jesus, he said to him, "Lord, who
is it?" 26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this piece of bread
when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas
Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Then after the bread, Satan entered into him.
Jesus said to him, "What you are going to do, do quickly." 28 But no one
at the table knew why he said this to him. 29 Some thought that, because
Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him, "Buy what we need for the

Man glorified, and in him God is glorified. 32 If God is glorified in him,
God will also glorify him in himself, and glorify him at once. 33 Little
children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek me; and
as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say
to you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as
I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will
know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."</p>

Jesus answered, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall
follow afterward." 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can I not follow you

your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow,

1 "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe
also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am
you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going." 5 Thomas said
to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going, and how can we know the
way?" 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you had known me, you would
have known my Father also; and from now on you know him and have seen him."
8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough
for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you
do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you
say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own
authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me
that I am in the Father and the Father in me; or else believe me for the
sake of the works themselves. 12 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes
in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will
he do, because I go to the Father. 13 And whatever you ask in my name, I
will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything
in my name, I will do it. </p>

15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be
with you forever - 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you know him, for he dwells
with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come
to you. 19 A little while longer, and the world will see me no more, but
you will see me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 In that day you will
know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He who has my
commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will
be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." 22
Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest
yourself to us, and not to the world?" 23 Jesus answered him, "If anyone
loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will
come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me does not
keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who
sent me. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
25 "These things I have spoken to you, while I am still
with you. 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all
that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid. 28 You have heard me say to you, 'I am going
away and coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would rejoice because
I said, 'I am going to the Father,' for the Father is greater than I. 29
And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take
place, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler
of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me. 31 But I do as the Father
commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let
us go from here. </p>

1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit he takes away; and every branch
that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are
already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in
me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides
in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine, you
are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit;
for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, he
is like a branch that is cast away and withers; and the branches are gathered,
thrown into the fire and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide
in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this my
Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you; abide in my love. 10
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept
my Father's commandments and abide in his love. </p>

11 "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may

you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than
this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if
you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant
does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for
all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did
not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear
fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father
in my name he may give you. 17 This I command you, that you love one another.

18 "If the world hates you, know that it hated me before
it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own.
But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore
the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant
is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute
you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all this they
will do to you for my name's sake, because they do not know him who sent
me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but
now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates me hates my Father
also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they
would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

me without a cause.'</p>

6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away.
For if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go,
I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not

he hears he will speak; and he will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify
me, for he will take of what is mine and declare it to you. 15 All that the
Father has is mine. Therefore I said that he will take of what is mine and
declare it to you. </p>

16 "A little while, and you will see me no more; again
a little while, and you will see me." 17 Then some of his disciples said
to one another, "What is this that he says to us, 'A little while, and you
will not see me, and again a little while, and you will see me'; and, 'because
I go to the Father'?" 18 They said, "What does he mean by 'a little while'?
We do not know what he is saying." 19 Now Jesus knew that they wanted to
ask him, so he said to them, "Are you asking yourselves about what I meant
when I said, 'A little while, and you will not see me; and again a little
while, and you will see me'? 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep
and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow
will turn into joy. 21 When a woman is in labor she has sorrow, because her
hour has come; but as soon as she gives birth to the child, she no longer
remembers the anguish, for joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice,
and no one will take your joy from you. 23 In that day you will ask me nothing.
Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in my name he will
give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will
receive, that your joy may be full. </p>

25 "I have said this to you in figurative language; but
the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures, but I will
tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.
And I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; 27 for the
Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that
I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world;
again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father." 29 His disciples
said, "See, now you are speaking plainly, and not using a figure of speech!
30 Now we are sure that you know all things, and have no need for anyone
to question you. By this we believe that you came from God." 31 Jesus answered
them, "Do you now believe? 32 Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come,
when you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave me alone. And
yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. 33 I have said these things
to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
But take courage! I have overcome the world."</p>

1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his
eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that
your Son also may glorify you, 2 as you have given him authority over all
flesh, that he should give eternal life to all those you have given him.
3 And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4 I have glorified you on the earth, having
finished the work which you have given me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify
me in your own presence with the glory which I had with you before the world
was made. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
6 "I have manifested your name to the men whom you have
given me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me, and they
have kept your word. 7 Now they know that everything you have given me comes
from you. 8 For I have given them the words which you have given me, and
they have received them and know in truth that I came from you; and they
have believed that you sent me. 9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the
world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10 And all
mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 And now
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to
you. Holy Father, keep them in your name - the name you gave me - that they
may be one, even as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I kept them in
your name - the name you gave me. I have guarded them, and none of them is
lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
13 But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that
they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them your word;
and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, even as I
am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that you should take them out of the
world, but that you should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of
the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by the truth;
your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them
into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also
may be sanctified in truth. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
20 "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those
who will believe in me through their word; 21 that they all may be one, as
you, Father, are in me, and I in you; that they also may be in us, that the
world may believe that you sent me. 22 And the glory which you gave me I
have given them, that they may be one just as we are one: 23 I in them, and
you in me; that they may become perfectly one, and that the world may know
that you have sent me, and have loved them even as you have loved me. 24
Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me where
I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved
me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world has
not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you sent me. 26
I have made known to them your name, and will make it known, that the love
with which you loved me may be in them, and I in them."</p>

47 While he was still speaking, a crowd came, and the
man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near
to Jesus to kiss him; 48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying
the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 When those around him saw what was going
to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50 And one
of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched his ear and healed
him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, officers of the temple, and
the elders who had come to him, "Have you come out as against a robber, with
swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you day after day in the temple, you
did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."</p>

3 So Judas, having received a detachment of soldiers and some officers from
the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and
weapons. 4 Then Jesus, knowing all that was to come upon him, went forward
and said to them, "Whom do you seek?" 5 They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth."
Jesus said to them, "I am he." And Judas, who betrayed him, was standing
with them. 6 When he said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to
the ground. 7 Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus
of Nazareth." 8 Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek
me, let these men go." 9 This happened so that the words which he had spoken
would be fulfilled, "Of those whom you gave me I have lost none." 10 Then
Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant,
and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11 Jesus said

15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple.
As this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the
courtyard of the high priest. 16 But Peter stood at the door outside. Then
the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke
to the girl who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 17 Then the girl who
kept the door said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples,

a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming

19 The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples
and his teaching. 20 Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world.
I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come
together, and I have said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those
who have heard me what I said to them. They know what I said." 22 And when
he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand,
saying, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?" 23 Jesus answered him,
"If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; but if I have spoken
rightly, why do you strike me?" 24 Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas
the high priest. </p>

found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward
61 and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God,

"Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?"

8 Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had
desired to see him for a long time, because he had heard about him, and he
hoped to see some miracle done by him. 9 Then he questioned him with many
words, but he gave him no answer. 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood
by, vehemently accusing him. 11 And Herod with his soldiers treated him with
contempt and mocked him; then, dressing him in a gorgeous robe, he sent him
back to Pilate. 12 That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each
other, for before this they had been at enmity with each other. </p>

15 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release
for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted. 16 And at that time they
had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. 17 So when they had gathered,
Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you, Barabbas or
Jesus who is called Christ?" 18 For he knew it was out of envy that they
had handed him over. 20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the
multitudes to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 21 The governor answered
them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"
22 Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?"
They all said, "Let him be crucified!" 23 And he said, "Why, what evil has
he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified!" </p>

me as one who was inciting the people to rebellion. And behold, having examined
him in your presence, I have found no guilt in this man concerning those
charges which you make against him; 15 neither did Herod, for he sent him
back to us. Behold, nothing deserving death has been done by him; 16 I will
therefore chastise him and release him." 18 But they all cried out together,
"Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"- 19 a man who had been thrown
into prison for an insurrection in the city, and for murder. 20 Wanting to
release Jesus, Pilate addressed to them again. 21 But they shouted, "Crucify

4 Pilate went out again, and said to them, "See, I am
bringing him out to you, that you may know that I find no crime in him."
5 So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate
said to them, "Behold the man!" 6 When the chief priests and officers saw
him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "You
take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him." 7 The Jews answered

to crucify you?" 11 Jesus answered, "You would have no power over me unless
it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered me to you
has the greater sin." 12 From then on Pilate sought to release him, but the
Jews cried out, "If you let this man go, you are not Caesar's friend. Anyone

was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. 21 The
chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of

23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his
garments, and made four parts, one for each soldier, and also his tunic.
Now the tunic was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24
So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose
it shall be." This happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says:

and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26

said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then he said to the disciple,
"Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own
home. </p>

voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?" 47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said,

31 Therefore, because it was the day of Preparation, that
the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath
was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and
that they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs
of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33 But when
they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his
legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately
blood and water came out. 35 He who saw it has testified, and his testimony
is true, and he knows that he tells the truth, that you also may believe.
36 For these things were done that the scripture should be fulfilled, "Not

council member, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, coming and
taking courage, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 44 Pilate

he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. 46 Then he bought fine linen,

took away his body. 39 And Nicodemus, who had at first come to Jesus by night,
also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds.

spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he
was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no
one had ever been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, as
the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. </p>

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she
wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white,
sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at
the feet. 13 They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to
them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they
have laid him." 14 Saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing
there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, "Woman,
why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be the gardener,
she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have
laid him, and I will take him away." 16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned
and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus said
to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go
to my brethren and say to them, "I am ascending to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.'"</p>

13 Now behold, that same day two of them were going to
a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were
talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While
they talked and discussed, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, "What
is this conversation which you are exchanging with each other as you walk?"
And they stood still, looking sad. 18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered
him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that
have happened there in these days?" 19 And he said to them, "What things?"
And they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a
prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how
the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death,
and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going
to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since all
this happened. 22 In addition, some women of our company amazed us. They
were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they did not find his
body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said
he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found
it just as the women had said; but him they did not see." 25 And he said
to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets
have spoken! 26 Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and enter
his glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he explained
to them the things concerning himself in all the scriptures. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
28 As they drew near the village to which they were going,
he acted as though he would be going farther, 29 but they constrained him,
saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent."
So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he
took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes
were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32
And they said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he
talked with us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?" 33 So
they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and they found the
eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, "The Lord
has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" 35 Then they told what had
happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the
bread. </p>

36 As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among

frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them,

and my feet, that it is I myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit does not
have flesh and bones as you see I have." 40 When he had said this, he showed

again from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and forgiveness
of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

1 After this Jesus showed himself again to the disciples
by the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way he showed himself: 2 Simon Peter,
Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee,
and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them,
"I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went
out and got into the boat; but that night they caught nothing. 4 But early
in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know
that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, "Children, have you any fish?" They
answered him, "No." 6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of
the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were not able
to haul it in because of the great number of fish. 7 Then that disciple whom
Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that
it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and
threw himself into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging
the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, but about a hundred
yards off. 9 When they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
with fish lying on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the
fish you have just caught." 11 Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net
ashore, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there
were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have
breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They
knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them,
and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared
to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him,
"Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." 16
He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?"
He said to him, "Yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend
my sheep." 17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you
love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you
love me?" And he said to him, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I
love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you,
when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but
when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird
you and carry you where you do not wish to go." 19 This he said to show by
what death he would glorify God. And after this he said to him, "Follow me."</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
20 Peter turned and saw following them the disciple whom
Jesus loved, who had leaned on his breast at the supper and had said, "Lord,
who is the one who is going to betray you?" 21 When Peter saw him, he said
to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him
to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me." 23 Then the
saying spread among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus
did not say to him that he would not die, but, "If I want him to remain until
I come, what is that to you?"</p>

12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called
Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And when
they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying;
Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew,
James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James.
14 All these with one mind devoted themselves to prayer, along with the women
and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. </p>

1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together
in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rush
of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves,
and they rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the
Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
5 Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men
from </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
every nation under heaven. 6 And at this sound the crowd came together, and
they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 They were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking
Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear them, each of us in his own native
language? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia,
Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and
the parts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
11 Cretans and Arabs-we hear them in our own tongues speaking of the mighty
deeds of God." 12 And they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another,
"What does this mean?" 13 But others were mocking and said, "They are full
of sweet wine." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
14 But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised
his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you and give heed to my words. 15 For these men are
not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day; 16
but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
17 'And in the last days
it shall be, God says, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
I will
pour out my Spirit in those days, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
and they shall prophesy. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
19 And I will show wonders

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">

</p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
who calls

will be saved.' </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
22 "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus of Nazareth,
a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know-23 this man, delivered
over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a
cross by the hands of godless men and put him to death. 24 But God raised
him up, having loosed the agony of death, because it was impossible for him
to be held in its power. 25 For David says concerning him, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
'I saw the Lord always before me; </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
for he
is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
26 Therefore my heart was
glad and my tongue rejoiced; </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
moreover
my flesh also will live in hope, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
27 because you will not abandon
my soul to hades, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
nor let
your Holy One see decay. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
28 You have made known to
me the ways of life; </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
you will
make me full of gladness with your presence.' </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
29 "Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch
David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 And so, because he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn with an
oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, 31 he
looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
that he was not abandoned to hades, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
nor did
his flesh see decay. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
32 This Jesus God raised up again, and of that we are all witnesses. 33 Being
therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father
the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this which you see and hear.
34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he says himself: </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
'The Lord said to my Lord, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
"Sit at my right hand, </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
35
until I make your enemies a footstool </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
for your feet."' </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made
him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart,
and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Brethren, what shall we
do?" 38 And Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and your
children and for all who are far off, for all whom the Lord our God will
call to himself." 40 And he testified with many other words and exhorted
them, saying, "Save yourselves from this perverse generation." 41 So those
who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about
three thousand souls. 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching
and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. </p>
<p style="margin-left: 0.5in; ">
43 Everyone was filled with awe; and many wonders and
signs were done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together
and had all things in common; 45 and they sold their possessions and goods
and distributed them to all, as anyone had need. 46 And day by day, attending
the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they ate together
with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the
people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being
saved. </p>

1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that
Jesus began to do and to teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up to heaven,
after he had given orders through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he
had chosen. 3 To these he also presented himself alive after his suffering,
by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days
and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. </p>

If every one of them were to be written, I suppose that even the world itself
could not contain the books that would be written. </p>
