\v 1 The word of Yahweh came to me again and said,
\v 2 “What do you mean, you who use this proverb concerning the land of Israel and say,
\q ‘Fathers eat sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are made blunt?'
\s5
\v 3 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—there will certainly no longer be any occasion for you to use this proverb in Israel.
\v 4 Behold! Every life is mine! And so is the life of the father, and the life of the son: they are mine! The person who sins will die!
\s5
\p
\v 5 For a man, if he is righteous and carries out justice and righteousness—
\v 6 if he has not eaten at the mountain shrines, and has not lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel—if he has not defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor approached a woman during her monthly period—
\s5
\v 7 if he has not oppressed anyone but instead has returned a pledge to its debtor—if he has not taken what was stolen, but instead gives his food to the hungry and covers the naked with clothes;
\s5
\v 8 if he does not charge any interest for loans, nor take excessive profit—if he carries out justice and establishes faithfulness between people—
\v 9 if he walks in my statutes and keeps my decrees to act faithfully—this man is righteous; he will live!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\s5
\p
\v 10 But if he has a violent son who sheds blood and does any of these things—
\v 11 even though his father does not do any of these things—but if his son instead eats at the mountain shrines and defiles his neighbor’s wife—
\s5
\v 12 if he oppresses the poor and needy, if he seizes and robs and does not return a pledge, if he lifts up his eyes to the idols or commits disgusting actions;
\v 13 if he lends charging interest or gains unjust profit, should he live? He will not live! He has done all these disgusting actions. He will surely die; his blood is on him.
\s5
\p
\v 14 But behold! If he bears a son who sees all the sins that his father has committed, and if he himself fears God and does not do such things—
\v 15 if he does not eat at the mountain shrines, nor lifts his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel—if he does not defile his neighbor’s wife;
\s5
\v 16 if he does not oppress anyone, seize a pledge, or takes stolen things, but instead gives his food to the hungry and covers the naked with clothes—
\v 17 if he draws his hand back from judging the poor and does not take interest or unjust profit; if he carries out my decrees and walks according to my statutes, then he will not die for his father’s sin. He will certainly live!
\s5
\v 18 His father, since he oppressed others by extortion and robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people—behold, he will die in his iniquity.
\s5
\p
\v 19 But you say, 'Why does the son not bear the iniquity of his father?' Because the son carries out justice and righteousness and keeps all my statutes; he does them. He will certainly live!
\v 20 The one who sins, he will die. A son will not bear his father's iniquity, and a father will not bear his son’s iniquity. The righteousness of the one who acts rightly will be on himself, and the wickedness of the wicked person will be on himself.
\s5
\p
\v 21 But if the wicked turns away from all his sins that he has done, and keeps all my statutes and performs justice and righteousness, then he will certainly live and not die.
\v 22 All the transgressions that he has committed will not be called to mind against him. He will live by the righteousness that he practices.
\s5
\v 23 Do I greatly rejoice over the death of the wicked—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—and not in his turning away from his way so that he may live?
\s5
\v 24 But if the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and practices abominations like all the abominations that the wicked person does, then will he live? All the righteousness that he had done will not be called to mind when he betrays me in his treason. So he will die in the sins that he commits.
\s5
\p
\v 25 But you say, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' Listen, house of Israel! Are my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?
\v 26 When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity and dies because of them, then he will die in the iniquity that he has done.
\s5
\v 27 But when a wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he has done and performs justice and righteousness, then he will preserve his life!
\v 28 For he has seen and turned away from all the transgressions that he had done. He will live life; he will not die!
\s5
\v 29 But the house of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not fair!' How is my way not fair, house of Israel? And how is your way not unfair?
\v 30 Therefore I will judge each man among you according to his ways, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration. Repent and turn away from all your transgressions so that they will not be stumbling blocks of iniquity against you.
\s5
\v 31 Throw away from off yourselves all of the transgressions that you have committed; make a new heart and a new spirit for yourselves. For why should you die, house of Israel?
\v 32 For I do not rejoice in the death of the one who dies—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—so repent and live!”

\p
\v 1 It came about in the seventh year, on the tenth day of the fifth month, that elders of Israel came to inquire of Yahweh and sat before me.
\s5
\v 2 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 3 “Son of man, declare to the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: Have you come to inquire of me? As I live, I will not be inquired of by you!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.'
\s5
\v 4 Will you judge them? Will you judge, son of man? Let them know about their fathers’ abominations!
\v 5 Say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I chose Israel and raised my hand to swear an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made myself known to them in the land of Egypt, when I raised my hand to swear an oath to them. I said, "I am Yahweh your God"—
\v 6 on that day I raised my hand to swear an oath to them that I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had carefully selected for them. It was flowing with milk and honey; it was the most beautiful ornament among all the lands!
\s5
\v 7 I said to them, "Let each man throw away the detestable things from before his eyes and the idols of Egypt. Do not make yourselves unclean; I am Yahweh your God."
\s5
\v 8 But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. Each man did not throw away the detestable things from before his eyes nor forsake the idols of Egypt, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath among them in the middle of the land of Egypt.
\v 9 I acted for my name’s sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were staying. I made myself known to them, in their eyes, by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
\s5
\p
\v 10 So I sent them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.
\v 11 Then I gave them my statutes and made my decrees known to them, by which a man will live if he obeys them.
\v 12 I also gave them my Sabbaths as a sign between myself and them, for them to know that I am Yahweh, who dedicates them to myself.
\s5
\v 13 But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not walk in my statutes; instead, they rejected my decrees, by which a man will live if he obeys them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths, so I said I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness in order to end them.
\v 14 But I acted for my name's sake so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations, in whose sight I had brought them out of Egypt.
\s5
\v 15 So I myself also raised my hand to swear an oath to them in the wilderness not to bring them into the land that I had been going to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. which was the most beautiful ornament among all the lands.
\v 16 I swore this because they had rejected my decrees and did not walk in my statutes, and they profaned my Sabbaths, since their hearts walked after their idols.
\v 17 But my eye had compassion for them because of their destruction, so I did not annihilate them in the wilderness.
\s5
\p
\v 18 I said to their sons and daughters in the wilderness, "Do not walk according to the statutes of your parents; do not keep their decrees or profane yourselves with idols.
\v 19 I am Yahweh your God! Walk in my statutes; keep my decrees and obey them!
\v 20 Keep my Sabbaths holy so that they will be a sign between me and you, so that you will know that I am Yahweh your God."
\s5
\v 21 But their sons and daughters rebelled against me. They did not walk in my statutes or keep my decrees, by which a man might live if he obeys them. They profaned my Sabbaths, so I determined to pour out my fury upon them to satisfy my wrath against them in the wilderness.
\v 22 But I turned my hand away and acted for my name’s sake, so it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought out the Israelites.
\s5
\v 23 I myself also raised my hand to them in the wilderness, in order to swear that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them among the lands.
\v 24 I decided to do this since they had not obeyed my decrees, and since they had rejected my statutes and profaned my Sabbaths. Their eyes were longing after their fathers' idols.
\s5
\v 25 Then I also gave them statutes that were not good, and decrees by which they could not live.
\v 26 I made them unclean by their gifts, when they caused every firstborn from the womb to pass through the fire. I did this in order to terrify them so they might
know that I am Yahweh!'
\s5
\p
\v 27 Therefore, son of man, announce this to the house of Israel; say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: Your fathers blasphemed me by betraying me against me. They did it in this way:
\v 28 when I brought them into the land that I lifted my hand to give to them, and when they saw all the high hills and leafy trees, then they offered their sacrifices there and provoked me by their offerings there. There they also burned fragrant incense and poured out drink offerings.
\v 29 Then I said to them, "What is this high place where you bring offerings there?" So the name is called Bamah to this day.'
\s5
\v 30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: Why do you make yourselves unclean with the ways of your fathers? And why do you act like prostitutes, searching for disgusting things?
\v 31 For when you offer up your gifts and cause your sons to pass through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your idols to this present day. So should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—I will not be inquired of by you!
\v 32 The thought that is forming in your mind will come true. You say, "Let us be like the other nations, like the clans in the other lands who worship wood and stone!"
\s5
\p
\v 33 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—I will certainly reign over you with a mighty hand, a raised arm, and fury that will be poured out on you!
\v 34 I will bring you out from the other peoples and will gather you out of the countries among whom you have been scattered. I will do this with a mighty hand and with fury poured out.
\v 35 Then I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will judge you face to face.
\s5
\v 36 As I judged your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so also I will judge you!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\v 37 I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will bring you into the bonds of the covenant;
\v 38 I will purge from among you the rebellious ones and the ones transgressing against me. I will send them out from out from the land where they are staying as foreigners, but they will not enter the land of Israel. So you will know that I am Yahweh!
\s5
\v 39 So to you, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Each of you should go to his own idols. Worship them if you will refuse to listen to me, but you must no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and your idols.
\s5
\p
\v 40 For on my holy mountain, on the mountain peak of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—all of the house of Israel will worship me there in the land. I will be pleased to require your offerings there, and also the first fruits of your tribute with all your holy things.
\v 41 I will accept you like fragrant incense when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. I will show myself as holy among you for the nations to see.
\s5
\v 42 Then, when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I have lifted my hand up to give to your fathers, you will know that I am Yahweh.
\v 43 Then you will call to mind there your evil ways, and all of your deeds by which you made yourselves unclean, and you will hate yourselves in your own eyes for all your evil actions that you have committed.
\v 44 So you will know that I am Yahweh when I do this to you for my name’s sake, not for your evil ways or your corrupt deeds, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.'"
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 46 “Son of man, set your face toward the southern lands, and speak against the south; prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
\v 47 Say to the forest of the Negev, ‘Hear the declaration of Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this: See, I will set a fire among you. It will devour every fresh tree and every dried tree among you. The fiery flame will not be quenched; every face from the south to the north will be burned.
\s5
\v 48 Then all flesh will see that I am Yahweh when I light the fire, and it will not be quenched.'"
\v 49 Then I said, “Alas! Lord Yahweh, they are saying of me, ‘Is he not a mere teller of parables?'"

\v 30 Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Why do you make yourselves unclean with the ways of your fathers? And why do you act like prostitutes, searching for disgusting things?
\v 31 For when you offer up your gifts and cause your sons to pass through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your idols to this present day. So should I be inquired of by you, house of Israel? As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will not be inquired of by you!
\v 32 The thought that is forming in your mind will come true. You say, "Let us be like the other nations, like the clans in the other lands who worship wood and stone!"
\s5
\p
\v 33 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—I will certainly reign over you with a mighty hand, a raised arm, and fury that will be poured out on you!
\v 34 I will bring you out from the other peoples and will gather you out of the countries among whom you have been scattered. I will do this with a mighty hand and with fury poured out.
\v 35 Then I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will judge you face to face.
\s5
\v 36 As I judged your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so also I will judge you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
\v 37 I will cause you to pass under my rod, and I will bring you into the bonds of the covenant;
\v 38 I will purge from among you the rebellious ones and the ones transgressing against me. I will send them out from out from the land where they are staying as foreigners, but they will not enter the land of Israel. So you will know that I am Yahweh!
\s5
\v 39 So to you, house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Each of you should go to his own idols. Worship them if you will refuse to listen to me, but you must no longer profane my holy name with your gifts and your idols.
\s5
\p
\v 40 For on my holy mountain, on the mountain peak of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—all of the house of Israel will worship me there in the land. I will be pleased to require your offerings there, and also the first fruits of your tribute with all your holy things.
\v 41 I will accept you like fragrant incense when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered. I will show myself as holy among you for the nations to see.
\s5
\v 42 Then, when I bring you to the land of Israel, to the land that I have lifted my hand up to give to your fathers, you will know that I am Yahweh.
\v 43 Then you will call to mind there your evil ways, and all of your deeds by which you made yourselves unclean, and you will hate yourselves in your own eyes for all your evil actions that you have committed.
\v 44 So you will know that I am Yahweh when I do this to you for my name's sake, not for your evil ways or your corrupt deeds, house of Israel!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'"
\s5
\p
\v 45 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 46 "Son of man, set your face toward the southern lands, and speak against the south; prophesy against the forest of the Negev.
\v 47 Say to the forest of the Negev, 'Hear the declaration of Yahweh! The Lord Yahweh says this: See, I will set a fire among you. It will devour every fresh tree and every dried tree among you. The fiery flame will not be quenched; every face from the south to the north will be burned.
\s5
\v 48 Then all flesh will see that I am Yahweh when I light the fire, and it will not be quenched.'"
\v 49 Then I said, "Alas! Lord Yahweh, they are saying of me, 'Is he not a mere teller of parables?'"

\v 1 The word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
\v 3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
\v 4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
\s5
\p
\v 5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
\v 6 the governor who wore violet, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses!
\v 7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria’s men! And she made herself unclean with everyone for whom she lusted, with all their idols for whom she lusted.
\s5
\v 8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.
\v 9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted!
\v 10 They stripped her naked. They took her sons and daughters, and they killed her with the sword, and she became shameful to other women, so they passed judgment on her.
\s5
\p
\v 11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister!
\v 12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses! All of them were strong, handsome men!
\v 13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
\s5
\v 14 Then she increased her prostitution even more! She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
\v 15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads! All of them appeared to be officers of chariot troops, men of whom Babylonia was their birthplace.
\s5
\v 16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.
\v 17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
\s5
\q
\v 18 She displayed her acts of prostitution and she showed her unclothed body,
\q so my soul turned away from her, just as my soul turned away from her sister!
\q
\v 19 Then she committed many more acts of prostitution, as she brought to mind and imitated the days of her youth,
\q when she behaved as a prostitute in the land of Egypt!
\s5
\q
\v 20 So she lusted for her lovers,
\q whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
\q
\v 21 And she committed again the shameful behavior of your youth, when her breasts were fondled by the Egyptians
\q because her breasts were youthful!
\s5
\q
\v 22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I will turn your lovers against you!
\q Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from on every side!
\q
\v 23 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans! Pekod, Shoa, and Koa! And all the Assyrians with them!
\q Strong, handsome men! Governors and officials, all of them are officers and men of reputation!
\q All of them riding on horses!
\s5
\q
\v 24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people!
\q They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around!
\q I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions!
\v 25 For I will set my anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury! They will cut off your nose and your ears, and your remnant will fall by the sword! They will take your sons and your daughters, so that your descendants will be devoured by fire!
\s5
\v 26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry!
\v 27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes towards them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer!'
\s5
\v 28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away!
\v 29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you unclothed and bare. The naked shame of your prostitution will be revealed, your shameful behavior and your promiscuousness!
\s5
\v 30 These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with their idols.
\v 31 You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup of punishment into your hand!'
\s5
\q
\v 32 The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister’s cup, which is deep and large;
\q you will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount!
\s5
\q
\v 33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation!
\q This is your sister Samaria’s cup!
\q
\v 34 You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces.
\q For I have declared it!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration!'
\s5
\v 35 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will lift high and reveal your shameful
behavior and acts of sexual immorality!'”
\s5
\p
\v 36 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,
\v 37 since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands! They have committed adultery, with their idols and they have even passed their
sons whom they bore for me through the fire to be consumed!
\s5
\v 38 And they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile my Sabbaths!
\v 39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle of my house!
\s5
\v 40 You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold! They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
\v 41 And you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it. Then you placed my incense and my oil on it!
\s5
\v 42 So the sound of a crowd who were with worries was with you, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with other worthless men. They put bracelets on your hands and ornate crowns on your heads.
\s5
\p
\v 43 Then I said about the one worn out by acts of adultery, ‘Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she will be sexually immoral with them.’
\v 44 Then they went and slept her as they would any prostitute; in the same way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, women guilty of prostitution!
\v 45 But righteous men will condemn them to punishment for adultery and to punishment for one who pours out blood, since they have committed adultery and have blood on their hands.
\s5
\v 46 So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them over to be terrorized and plundered.
\v 47 Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses!
\s5
\v 48 For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.
\v 49 So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!”
\s5
\c 23
\p
\v 1 The word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 2 "Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
\v 3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
\v 4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
\s5
\p
\v 5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
\v 6 the governor who wore violet, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses!
\v 7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men! And she made herself unclean with everyone for whom she lusted, with all their idols for whom she lusted.
\s5
\v 8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.
\v 9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted!
\v 10 They stripped her naked. They took her sons and daughters, and they killed her with the sword, and she became shameful to other women, so they passed judgment on her.
\s5
\p
\v 11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister!
\v 12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses! All of them were strong, handsome men!
\v 13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
\s5
\v 14 Then she increased her prostitution even more! She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
\v 15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads! All of them appeared to be officers of chariot troops, men of whom Babylonia was their birthplace.
\s5
\v 16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.
\v 17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
\s5
\q
\v 18 She displayed her acts of prostitution and she showed her unclothed body,
\q so my soul turned away from her, just as my soul turned away from her sister!
\q
\v 19 Then she committed many more acts of prostitution, as she brought to mind and imitated the days of her youth,
\q when she behaved as a prostitute in the land of Egypt!
\s5
\q
\v 20 So she lusted for her lovers,
\q whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
\q
\v 21 And she committed again the shameful behavior of your youth, when her breasts were fondled by the Egyptians
\q because her breasts were youthful!
\s5
\q
\v 22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold, I will turn your lovers against you!
\q Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from on every side!
\q
\v 23 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans! Pekod, Shoa, and Koa! And all the Assyrians with them!
\q Strong, handsome men! Governors and officials, all of them are officers and men of reputation!
\q All of them riding on horses!
\s5
\q
\v 24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people!
\q They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around!
\q I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions!
\v 25 For I will set my anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury! They will cut off your nose and your ears, and your remnant will fall by the sword! They will take your sons and your daughters, so that your descendants will be devoured by fire!
\s5
\v 26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry!
\v 27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes towards them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer!'
\s5
\v 28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away!
\v 29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you unclothed and bare. The naked shame of your prostitution will be revealed, your shameful behavior and your promiscuousness!

\v 2 "Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gates of the people are broken! She has turned to me; I will be filled up as she is ruined!'
\s5
\v 3 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am against you, Tyre, and I will raise up many nations against you like the sea raises its waves!
\v 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers. I will sweep her dust away and make her like a bare rock.
\s5
\v 5 She will become a place for nets to dry out in the midst of the sea, since I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and she will become plunder for the nations!
\v 6 Her daughters who are in the fields will be slaughtered by the swords, and they will know that I am Yahweh!
\s5
\p
\v 7 For the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, against Tyre from the east, the king of kings with horses, chariots, and cavalry! A company of many people!
\v 8 He will slaughter your daughters in the fields with a sword and will build siege walls against you. He will build siege ramps against you and lift up the shields against you!
\s5
\v 9 He will place his battering rams to hit against your walls, and his tools will tear down your towers!
\v 10 He will cover you with the dust of a multitude of horses! Your walls will quake with the sound of horses and the wheels of chariots when he enters through your gates as the gates of the city are assaulted!
\v 11 He will trample all of your streets with the hooves of horses; he will slaughter your people with the sword, and your strong stone pillars will fall to the ground.
\s5
\v 12 In this way they will plunder your strength and your merchandise! They will tear down your walls and your opulent houses until your stone and wood and dust are laid in the midst of the waters.
\v 13 For I will stop the noise of your songs, and the sound of your lyres will no longer be heard!
\v 14 For I will make you a bare rock; you will become a place for nets to dry out. You will no longer be built up, for I, Yahweh, have declared it!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration!'
\s5
\p
\v 15 The Lord Yahweh says this to Tyre, 'Will not the islands quake with the sound of your downfall, and with the groans of the wounded when the terrible slaughter is in your midst?
\v 16 For all the chiefs of the sea will come down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and strip off their colorful clothing! They will clothe themselves with fear! They will sit on the ground and tremble constantly and be horrified about you!
\s5
\v 17 They will lift up a lament for you and say to you,
\q How you who were inhabited by sailors have been destroyed! The famous city that was so strong—it is now gone from the sea!
\q And the ones living in her once put terror of themselves on everyone else who lived near them.
\q
\v 18 Now the coasts tremble on the day of your downfall!
\q The islands in the sea are terrified, because you have died.
\s5
\p
\v 19 For the Lord Yahweh says this: When I make you a desolate city, like the other cities that are not inhabited, when I raise up the deeps against you, and when the great waters cover you,
\v 20 then I will bring you down to the people of ancient times, like the others who have gone down into the pit; for I will make you live in the lowest realms of the earth as in ruins of ancient times. Because of this you will not come back to the land where people live.
\v 21 I will place disaster on you, and you will exist no more. Then you will be sought, but you will never be found ever again—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration!'"

\v 17 Then it came about in the twenty-seventh year on the first of the first month, that the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 18 "Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon stationed his army to do hard work against Tyre. Every head was shaved and every shoulder was bared, but there were never any wages from Tyre for him and his army, for the hard work that he did against Tyre.
\s5
\v 19 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and he will take away its wealth, plunder its possessions, and carry off all he finds there; that will be his army's wages!
\v 20 I have given him the land of Egypt as the wages for the work they did for me—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
\s5
\v 21 On that day I will make a horn sprout up for the house of Israel, and I make you speak in their midst, so that they will know that I am Yahweh!'"

\v 1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 2 “Son of man, declare this to your people; say to them, ‘When I bring a sword against any land, then the people of that land take one man from among themselves and make him a watchman for them.
\v 3 He looks for the sword as it comes on the land, and he blows his horn to warn the people!
\v 4 If the people hear the sound of the horn but do not pay attention, and if the sword comes and kills them, then each one’s blood is on his own head.
\s5
\v 5 If someone hears the sound of the horn and pays no attention, his blood is on him; but if he pays attention, he will save his own life.
\p
\v 6 However, if the watchman sees the sword as it is coming, but if he does not blow the horn, with the result that the people are not warned, and if the sword comes and takes anyone's life, then that person dies in his own sin, but I will require his blood from the watchman.’
\s5
\p
\v 7 Now you yourself, son of man! I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; you will hear the words from my mouth and warn them on my behalf.
\v 8 If I say to a wicked person, ‘Wicked one, you will certainly die!’ but if you do not announce this so as to warn the wicked about his way, then he who is wicked will die in his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand!
\v 9 But you, if you warn the wicked about his way, so that he might turn back from it, and if he does not turn back from his way, then he will die in his sin, but you yourself will have saved your own life.
\s5
\p
\v 10 So you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, ‘You are saying this: Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we are decaying in them! How can we live?’
\v 11 Say to them, ‘As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—I do not delight in the death of the wicked, for if the wicked repents from his way, then he will live! Repent! Repent from your wicked ways! For why should you die, house of Israel?’
\s5
\v 12 And you, son of man, say to your people, ‘The righteousness of a righteous person will not save him if he sins! And the wickedness of a wicked person will not cause him to perish if he repents from his sin. For the righteous person will not be able to live because of his righteousness if he sins.
\v 13 If I say to the righteous, “He will surely live!” and if he trusts in his righteousness and then commits injustice, I will not call to mind any of his righteousness; he will die in the wickedness that he has committed.
\s5
\v 14 And if I say to the wicked, "You will surely die!" but if he then repents from his sins and does what is just and right—
\v 15 if he restores the loan guarantee that he wickedly demanded, or if he makes restitution for what he has stolen, and if he walks in the statutes that give life and no longer commits sin—then he will surely live; he will not die.
\v 16 None of the sins that he has committed will be called to mind for him. He has acted justly and rightly; he will surely live!
\s5
\p
\v 17 But your people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” but it is your ways that are not fair!
\v 18 When the righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, then he will die in it!
\v 19 And when the wicked turns away from his wickedness and does what is just and righteous, he will live because of those things!
\v 20 But you people say, “The way of the Lord is not fair!” I will judge each of you according to his way, house of Israel!’”
\s5
\p
\v 21 It happened in the twelfth year, on the fifth day of the tenth month of our captivity, that a fugitive came to me from Jerusalem and said, “The city has been captured!”
\v 22 The hand of Yahweh had been on me in the evening before the fugitive came, and my mouth was opened by the time that he came to me in the dawn. So my mouth was open; I was no longer mute!
\s5
\p
\v 23 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 24 “Son of man, the ones inhabiting those ruins in the land of Israel are talking and say, ‘Abraham was only one person, and he inherited the land, but we are many! The land has been given to us as a possession.’
\s5
\v 25 Therefore say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: You eat blood, and you lift up your eyes towards your idols, then you pour out people's blood. Should you really possess the land?
\v 26 You have depended on your swords and have done disgusting things; each man defiles his neighbor’s wife. Should you really possess the land?'
\s5
\v 27 You will say this to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: As I live, surely the ones in the ruins will fall by the sword, and I will give those in the fields to the living creatures as food, and those in fortresses and in caves will die of plagues.
\v 28 Then I will turn the land into a desolation and a horror, and the pride of its might will end, for the mountains of Israel will be deserted, and there will be no one to pass through them.'
\v 29 So they will know that I am Yahweh, when I make the land a desolation and a horror because of all the disgusting things that they have done.
\s5
\p
\v 30 And you, son of man—your people are saying things about you beside the walls and the gates of the houses, and each says to one another—each man to his brother, 'Let us go and listen to the prophet's word that comes out from Yahweh!'
\v 31 So my people will come to you, as they often do, and will sit in front of you and listen to your words, but they will not obey them. Right words are in their mouths, but their hearts are going after unjust profit.
\s5
\v 32 For you are like a lovely song to them, a beautiful sound that is well played on a stringed instrument, so they will listen to your words, but none of them will obey them.
\v 33 So when all of this happens—behold! it will happen!—then they will know that a prophet has been among them."

\v 1 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel! Prophesy and say to them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who are shepherding themselves! Should not shepherds guard the flock?
\v 3 You eat the fatty portions and you dress in wool! You slaughter the fatlings of the flock! You do not shepherd at all.
\s5
\v 4 You have not strengthened those who have diseases, nor do you heal the ones who are ill. You do not bind up the ones who are broken, and you do not restore the outcasts or seek the lost. Instead, you rule over them through strength and violence.
\v 5 Then they were scattered without a shepherd, and they became food for all the living beasts in the fields, after they were scattered.
\v 6 My flock strays on all of the mountains and on every high hill, and it is dispersed over the entire surface of the earth. Yet no one is searching for them.
\s5
\p
\v 7 Therefore, shepherds, hear the declaration of Yahweh:
\v 8 As I live—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—because my flock has become plunder and food for all the beasts in the fields (because there was no shepherd and none of my shepherds sought my flock, but the shepherds guarded themselves and did not shepherd my flock)—
\s5
\v 9 Therefore, shepherds, hear the declaration of Yahweh:
\v 10 The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand. Then I will dismiss them from shepherding the flock; neither will the shepherds any longer shepherd themselves since I will take away my flock from their mouths, so that my flock will no longer be food for them.
\s5
\p
\v 11 For the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I myself will seek out my flock and I will look after them,
\v 12 like a shepherd seeking his flock on the day he is within the midst of his scattered flock. Thus I will seek my flock, and I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.
\v 13 Then I will bring them out from among the peoples; I will gather them from the lands and bring them to your land. I will put them in pastures on the mountainsides of Israel, by the streams, and in every settlement in the land.
\s5
\v 14 I will put them in good pastures; the high mountains of Israel will be their grazing places. They will lie down there in good places for grazing, in abundant pastures, and they will graze on the mountains of Israel.
\v 15 I myself will shepherd my flock, and I myself will make them lie down—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—
\v 16 I will seek the lost and restore the outcast; I will bind up the broken sheep and heal the sick sheep. And I will annihilate those who are fattened and strong! I will shepherd with justice!
\s5
\p
\v 17 And you, my flock—this is what the Lord Yahweh says—behold! I will be a judge among sheep, rams, and goats!
\v 18 Is it a small thing to be shepherded on the good pasture, so that you also wish to trample down what is left of the pasture with your feet? Or is it a small thing to have drunk from clear waters, that you must muddy the rivers with your feet?
\v 19 But my sheep are now being shepherded where you have trampled with your feet; they are now drinking the waters that you have muddied with your feet!
\s5
\p
\v 20 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this to them: Behold! I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the thin ones,
\v 21 for you have pushed them with your sides and shoulders, and you have gored all of the weak ones with your horns until you have scattered them away from the land!
\s5
\v 22 So I will save my flock; they will no longer be plunder. And I will judge between the sheep!
\v 23 I will raise up one shepherd over them, and he will shepherd them—my servant David! He will shepherd them; he will be a shepherd over them!
\v 24 For I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David will be a chief in their midst—I, Yahweh, have declared this!
\s5
\p
\v 25 Then I will make a covenant of peace with them and remove the evil wild animals from the land, so my sheep will live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests.
\v 26 I will also bring blessings on them and my surrounding hills, for I will send out showers in due season. These will be showers of blessing!
\v 27 Then the trees of the field will produce their fruit, and the earth will yield its produce. My sheep will be secure in their land; then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I break the bars of their yoke, and when I rescue them from the hand of those who enslaved them.
\s5
\v 28 They will no longer be plunder for the nations, and the wild animals on the earth will no longer devour them! For they will live securely, and they will not be afraid.
\v 29 For I will create a peaceful planting place for them so they will no longer be starved with hunger in the land, and the nations will not bring insults against them.
\s5
\v 30 Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am with them. They are my people, the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.

\v 14 therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\v 15 Nor will I allow you to hear the insults of the nations any longer; you will no longer have to bear the shame of the peoples or cause your nation to fall—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.'”
\s5
\p
\v 16 Then the word of Yahweh came to me and said,
\v 17 “Son of man, when the house of Israel inhabited their land, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds. Their ways were like the unclean menstruation of a woman before me.
\v 18 So I poured out my fury against them for the blood that they poured out on the land and for their pollution of it by their idols.
\s5
\v 19 I scattered them among the nations; they were dispersed through the lands. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.
\v 20 Then they went to the nations, and wherever they went, they profaned my holy name when people said of them, ‘Are these really the people of Yahweh? For they have been thrown out of his land.’
\v 21 But I had compassion for my holy name that the house of Israel had defiled among the nations, when they went there.
\s5
\p
\v 22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this: I am not doing this for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations everywhere you have gone.
\v 23 For I will make my great name holy, which you have profaned among the nations—in the midst of the nations, you profaned it. Then the nations will know that I am Yahweh—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—when you see that I am holy.
\s5
\v 24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from every land, and I will bring you to your land.
\v 25 Then I will sprinkle pure water on you so you will be purified from all of your impurities. And I will purify you from all of your idols.
\s5
\v 26 I will give you a new heart and a new spirit in your innermost parts, and I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh. For I will give you a heart of flesh.
\v 27 I will set my Spirit in you and enable you to walk in my statutes and keep my decrees, so you will do them.
\v 28 Then you will inhabit the land that I gave to your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.
\s5
\v 29 For I will save you from all of your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and multiply it. I will no longer put famine upon you.
\v 30 I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field so that you will no longer bear the shame of famine among the nations.
\v 31 Then you will think of your wicked ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will hate yourselves because of your own sins and your disgusting deeds.
\s5
\p
\v 32 I am not doing this for your sake—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration—let this be known to you. So be ashamed and disgraced because of your ways, house of Israel.
\v 33 The Lord Yahweh says this: On the day that I purify you from all your iniquity, I will cause you to inhabit the cities and to rebuild the ruined places.
\v 34 For you will plow the ruined land until it is no longer a ruin before the eyes of all who pass by.
\s5
\v 35 Then they will say, "This land was desolate, but it has become like the garden of Eden; the desolate cities and the uninhabited ruins that were inaccessible are now inhabited."
\v 36 Then the other nations around you will know that I am Yahweh, that I built up the ruins and replanted the abandoned places. I am Yahweh. I have declared it and I will do it.
\s5
\p
\v 37 The Lord Yahweh says this: Again I will be asked by the house of Israel to do this for them, to increase them like a flock of people.
\v 38 Like the flocks that are dedicated to Yahweh, like the flocks in Jerusalem at her appointed feasts, the desolate cities will be filled with flocks of people, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'"
\s5
\c 36
\p
\v 1 "Now you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'Mountains of Israel, listen to the word of Yahweh!
\v 2 The Lord Yahweh says this: The enemy has said about you, "Aha!" and "The ancient high places have become our possession."'
\v 3 Therefore prophesy and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Because of your desolation and because of the attacks that came on you from all sides, you have become a possession of the other nations; you have been the subject of slanderous lips and tongues, and of people's stories.
\s5
\v 4 Therefore, mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord Yahweh: The Lord Yahweh says this to the mountains and the high hills, to the streambeds and valleys, to the uninhabited desolations and the forsaken cities that have become plunder and a subject of mocking for the other nations that surround them—
\v 5 therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: I have certainly spoken in the fire of my fury against the other nations, against Edom and all who took my land for themselves as a possession, against all those who had both joy in their heart and disdain in their spirit, as they seized my land that they might claim its pasturelands for themselves.'
\v 6 Therefore, prophesy to the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the high hills, to the streambeds and to the valleys, 'the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! In my fury and in my anger I am declaring this because you have borne the insults of nations.
\s5
\v 7 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: I myself will lift up my hand to swear that the nations that surround you will certainly carry their own shame.
\s5
\p
\v 8 But you, mountains of Israel, you will grow branches and bear fruit for my people Israel, since they will soon come back to you.
\v 9 For behold, I am for you, and I treat you with favor; you will be plowed and sown with seed.
\s5
\v 10 So I will multiply on you mountains men in all the house of Israel. All! Then the cities will be inhabited and the desolations rebuilt.
\v 11 I will multiply man and beast on you mountains so that they will multiply and be fruitful. Then I will cause you to be inhabited as you previously were, and I will make you prosper more than you did in the past, for you will know that I am Yahweh.
\v 12 I will bring men, my people Israel, to walk on you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer cause their children to die.
\s5
\v 13 The Lord Yahweh says this: Because they are saying to you, "You devour people, and your nation's children have died,"
\v 14 therefore you will not consume people any longer, and you will no longer make your nation mourn their deaths. This is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

\v 1 The hand of Yahweh came on me, sent me out by the Spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of a valley. It was full of bones.
\v 2 Then he made me pass through them round and round. Behold! A great many of them were in the valley. And behold! They were very dry.

\v 11 Then it will happen on that day that I will make a place there for Gog—a grave in Israel, a valley for those who journey to the east of the sea. It will block those who wish to cross over. There they will bury Gog with all his multitudes. They will call it the valley of Hamon Gog.
\s5
\v 12 For seven months the house of Israel will bury them in order to purify the land.
\v 13 For all the people of the land will bury them; it will be a memorable day for them when I am glorified—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\s5
\v 14 Then they will designate some men for the task of passing through the land to bury those who remain on the face of the land, in order to purify it. They will start this task after the seventh month.
\v 15 As these men pass through the land, when they see any human bone, they will put a marker by it, until gravediggers come and bury it in the valley of Hamon Gog.
\v 16 There will be a city there by the name of Hamonah. In this way they will purify the land.'
\s5
\p
\v 17 Now to you, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says this: Say to all the winged birds and all the wild beasts in the fields, 'Gather together and come! Gather from all around to the sacrifice that I myself am making for you, a large sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, so that you may consume flesh and drink blood.
\v 18 You will consume the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the princes of the earth; they will be rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, they were all fattened in Bashan.
\s5
\v 19 Then you will eat fat to your satisfaction; you will drink blood until drunkenness; this will be the sacrifice that I will slaughter for you.
\v 20 You will be satisfied at my table with horse, chariot, warrior, and every man of war—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\s5
\p
\v 21 Then I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my judgment that I perform and my hand that I have set against them.
\v 22 The house of Israel will know that I am Yahweh their God from that day onward.
\s5
\v 23 And the nations will know that the house of Israel went into captivity because of their iniquity by which they betrayed me, so I hid my face from them and placed them in the hand of their adversaries so that all of them fell by the sword.
\v 24 I did to them according to their uncleanness and their sins, when I hid my face from them.
\s5
\p
\v 25 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all the house of Israel, when I act in zeal for my holy name!
\v 26 Then they will forget their shame and all the treason in which they betrayed me. They will forget all this when they rest in their land in safety, with no one to terrify them.
\v 27 When I restore them from the peoples and gather them from the lands of their enemies, I will show myself to be holy in the sight of many nations.
\s5
\v 28 Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God, for I sent them into captivity among the nations, but then I gathered them back to their land. I left none of them among the nations.
\v 29 I will no longer hide my face from them when I pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.'”
\s5
\c 39
\p
\v 1 "Now you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I am against you, Gog, chief of Meshech, and Tubal.
\v 2 I will turn you and lead you on; I will bring you up from the far north and bring you to the mountains of Israel.
\v 3 Then I will knock your bow out of your left hand and make the arrows fall from your right hand.
\s5
\v 4 You will fall dead on the mountains of Israel—you and all your troops and the soldiers who are with you. I will give you to the birds of prey and the wild beasts of the fields for food.
\v 5 You will fall dead on the surface of the field, for I myself declare it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
\v 6 Then I will send out fire on Magog and on those living in safety on the coasts, and they will know that I am Yahweh.
\s5
\v 7 For I will make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel, and I will no longer allow my holy name to be profaned; the nations will know that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.
\v 8 Behold! The day that I have declared is coming, and it will take place—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
\s5
\v 9 The ones living in the cities of Israel will go out and burn the weapons, small shields, large shields, bows, arrows, the clubs and spears; they will burn them with fire for seven years.
\v 10 They will not gather wood from the fields or cut down the forests, since they will burn the weapons; they will take from those who took from them; they will plunder those who plundered them—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

\v 1 In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity at the beginning of the year on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured—on that same day, the hand of Yahweh was on me and took me there.
\v 2 God brought me in visions to the land of Israel. He brought me to rest on a very high mountain; to the south were what appeared to be buildings of a city.
\s5
\v 3 Then he brought me there. Behold, there a man appeared who looked like bronze. A linen cord and a measuring stick were in his hand, and he stood in the city gate.
\v 4 The man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and listen with your ears, and fix your mind on all that I am revealing to you, for you were brought here so I could reveal them to you. Report everything that you will see to the house of Israel.”
\s5
\p
\v 5 There was a wall surrounding the temple complex, and there was a measuring stick in the man’s hand, six cubits in length—each "long" cubit equaling a cubit and a handbreadth. The man measured the width of the wall—one stick—and the height—one stick.
\v 6 Then he went to the temple gate that faced east and up its steps. He measured the threshold of the gate—one stick in depth.
\v 7 The guards' niches were each one stick long and one stick wide; there were five cubits between any two of the niches, and the threshold of the temple gate by the temple portico was one stick deep.
\s5
\v 8 He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick long.
\v 9 He measured the portico of the gate; it was one stick deep. And the doorposts were two cubits wide. This was the portico of the gate facing the temple.
\v 10 The guards' niches at the gate were three in number on either side of the gate, and they all measured the same, and the wall separating them all from each other measured the same, also.
\s5
\v 11 Then the man measured the width of the gateway entrance—ten cubits; and he measured the length of the gateway entrance—thirteen cubits.
\v 12 He measured the wall that was bordering the front of the niches—one cubit high. And the niches—six cubits on every side.
\v 13 Then he measured the gateway from the roof of one niche to that of the next niche—twenty-five cubits, from the entrance of the first niche to that of the second.
\s5
\v 14 Then he measured the wall that went between the guard's niches—sixty cubits long; he measured as far as the gate's portico.
\v 15 The entrance from the front of the gate to the other end of the gate's portico was fifty cubits.
\v 16 There were narrow windows in the niches, and in the walls that separated them all around; it was the same for the portico, and all the windows were on the inner side. There were carvings of palm trees on the walls.
\s5
\p
\v 17 Then the man brought me to the outer courtyard of the temple. Behold, there were rooms, and there was pavement in the court, with thirty rooms next to the pavement.
\v 18 The pavement went up to the side of the gates, and its width was the same as the gates' length. This was the lower pavement.
\v 19 Then the man measured the distance from the front of the lower gate to the front of the inner gate; it was one hundred cubits on the east side, and the same on the north side.
\s5
\p
\v 20 Then he measured the length and width of the gate that was at the north of the outer court.
\v 21 There were three niches on either side of that gate, and the gate and its portico measured the same as the main gate—fifty cubits in total length and twenty-five cubits in width.
\s5
\v 22 Its windows, portico, niches, and its palm trees corresponded to the gate that faced east. Seven steps went up to it and to its portico.
\v 23 There was a gate to the inner courtyard in front of the gate facing north, just as also there was a gate to the east; the man measured from one gate to the other gate—one hundred cubits in distance.
\s5
\p
\v 24 Next the man brought me to the gate of the southern entrance, and its walls and portico measured the same as the other outer gate.
\v 25 There were narrow windows in the gateway and its portico just as at that gate. The south gate and its portico measured fifty cubits in length and twenty-five cubits in width.
\s5
\v 26 There were seven steps up to the gate and its portico, and there were carvings of palm trees on the walls on either side.
\v 27 There was a gate to the inner courtyard on the southern side, and the man measured from that gate to the gate of the south entrance—one hundred cubits in distance.
\s5
\p
\v 28 Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by way of its southern gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.
\v 29 Its niches, walls, and porticos measured the same as the other gates; there were windows all around in the portico. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
\v 30 There were also porticos all around the inner wall; these were twenty-five cubits long and five cubits wide.
\v 31 This portico faced the outer courtyard with carved palm trees on its walls and eight steps going up to it.
\s5
\p
\v 32 Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard by the eastern way and measured the gate, which had the same measurements as the other gates.
\v 33 Its niches, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The inner gate and its portico measured fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
\v 34 Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.

\p
\v 35 Next the man brought me to the northern gate and measured it; it measured the same as the other gates.
\v 36 Its niches, walls, and portico measured the same as the other gates, and there were windows all around. The gateway and its portico measured fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.
\v 37 Its portico faced the outer courtyard; it had palm trees on either side of it and eight steps going up it.
\s5
\p
\v 38 There was a room with a door by each of the inner gateways. This was where they rinsed the burnt offerings.
\v 39 There were two tables on either side of each portico, on which the burnt offering was slaughtered, and also the sin offering and the guilt offering.
\s5
\v 40 By the wall of the courtyard, going up to the gate to the north, there were two tables. Also on the other side there were two tables at the gate's portico.
\v 41 There were four tables on either side by the gate; they slaughtered animals on the eight tables.
\s5
\v 42 There were four tables of cut stone for the burnt offerings, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide, and one cubit tall. On them they laid the tools with which they slaughtered the burnt offerings for the sacrifices.
\v 43 Two-pronged hooks a handbreadth long were fastened in the portico all around, and the flesh of the offerings would be put on the tables.
\s5
\p
\v 44 Near the inner gate, in the inner courtyard, were singers’ chambers. One of these rooms was on the north side, and one on the south.
\v 45 Then the man said to me, “This room facing south is for the priests who are on duty in the temple.
\s5
\v 46 And the room facing north is for the priests on duty at the altar. These are the sons of Zadok who come near to Yahweh to serve him; they are among the sons of Levi.”
\v 47 Next he measured the courtyard—one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide in a square, with the altar in front of the house.
\s5
\p
\v 48 Then the man brought me to the portico of the house and measured its doorposts—they were five cubits thick on either side. The entryway itself was fourteen cubits wide, and the walls on each side of it were three cubits wide.
\v 49 The sanctuary's portico was twenty cubits long, and its depth was eleven cubits. There were steps that went up to it and columns that stood on either side of it.

\v 1 Then the man brought me into the temple's holy place and measured the doorposts—six cubits wide on either side.

\s5
\v 3 Then the man went into the very holy place and measured the posts of the doorway—two cubits, and the doorway was six cubits wide. The walls on either side were seven cubits wide.

\v 6 There were three levels of side rooms, for there were rooms over rooms, thirty on each level. And ledges were in the wall around the house for the side rooms all around, to be a support for the rooms above, for there was no support put in the house wall.

\v 8 Then I saw a raised part all around the house, the foundation for the side chambers; it measured a full stick in height—six cubits.

\v 11 There were doors into the side rooms from another open space—one doorway was on the north side, and the other on the south side. The width of this open area was five cubits all around.
\s5
\p
\v 12 The building that faced the courtyard on the west side was seventy cubits wide. Its wall measured five cubits thick all around, and it was ninety cubits long.
\v 13 Then the man measured the sanctuary—one hundred cubits long. And the separated building, its wall, and the courtyard also measured one hundred cubits in length.
\v 14 The width of the front of the courtyard in front of the sanctuary was also one hundred cubits.
\s5
\p
\v 15 Then the man measured the length of the building behind the sanctuary, to its west, and the galleries on either side—one hundred cubits. The holy place and the portico,
\v 16 the inner walls and the windows, including the narrow windows, and the galleries all around on three levels, were all paneled in wood.
\v 17 Above the entryway to the sanctuary and spaced along all the walls round about were carved cherubim and palm trees, alternating with each other.
\s5
\v 18 And it was decorated with cherubim and palm trees; with a palm tree between each cherub. And each cherub had two faces:
\v 19 the face of a man looked toward a palm tree on one side, and the face of a young lion looked toward a palm tree on the other side. These decorated all the house all around,
\v 20 from the ground to above the doorway there were decorations of cherubim and palm trees upon the temple wall.
\s5
\p
\v 21 The gate posts of the holy place were square, and they all looked like each other.
\v 22 The wooden altar in front of the holy place was three cubits high and two cubits long on each side. Its corner posts, base, and frame were made of wood. Then the man said to me, "This is the table that stands before Yahweh."
\v 23 There were double doors for the holy place and the most holy place.
\v 24 These doors had two hinged door panels each, two panels for one door and two panels for the other.
\s5
\v 25 Carved on them—on the doors of the holy place—were cherubim and palm trees just as the walls were decorated, and there was a wooden roof over the portico at the front.
\v 26 There were narrow windows and palm trees on either side of the portico. These were the side rooms of the house, and they also had overhanging roofs.

\v 10 Son of man, you yourself must tell the house of Israel about this house so they will be ashamed of their iniquities. They should think about this description.

Then write this down before their eyes so they will keep to all its design and all its rules, so as to obey them.

\v 12 This is the regulation for the house: From the peak of the hill to all the surrounding border around it, it will be most holy. See! This is the regulation for the house.

\s5
\v 6 You will designate an area for the city, five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, that will be next to the area reserved for the holy place; this city will belong to all the house of Israel.
\v 7 The prince's land will be on both sides of the area reserved for the holy place and the city. It will be to their west and to their east. The length will correspond to the length of one of those portions, from the west to the east.
\s5
\v 8 This land will be property for the prince in Israel. My princes will no longer oppress my people; instead, they will give the land to the house of Israel, for their tribes.
\s5
\p
\v 9 The Lord Yahweh says this: It is enough for you, princes of Israel! Remove violence and strife; do justice and righteousness! Quit your evictions of my people!—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\v 10 You must have accurate scales, accurate ephahs, and accurate baths!
\v 11 The ephah and the bath will be the same amount, so that a bath will be a tenth of a homer; the ephah will be a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be corresponding to the homer.
\v 12 The shekel will be twenty gerahs; sixty shekels will make a mina for you.
\s5
\p
\v 13 This is the contribution that you must present: a sixth of an ephah for every homer of wheat, and you will give a sixth of an ephah for every homer of barley.
\v 14 The regulation offering of oil will be a tenth of a bath for every kor (which is ten baths), or for every homer, since a homer is also ten baths.
\v 15 One sheep or goat from the flock for every two hundred animals from the watered regions of Israel will be used for any burnt offering or peace offering to make atonement for the people—this is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\s5
\v 16 All the people of the land will give this contribution to the prince in Israel.
\v 17 It will be the prince's responsibility to furnish animals for the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the drink offerings at the festivals and the new moon celebrations, and on the Sabbath days—all the fixed festivals of the house of Israel. He will provide for the sin offerings, the grain offerings, the burnt offerings, and the peace offerings for atonement on behalf of the house of Israel.
\s5
\p
\v 18 The Lord Yahweh says this: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you will take an unblemished bull from the herd and perform a sin offering for the sanctuary.
\v 19 The priest will take some of the blood of the sin offering and place it on the doorposts of the house and on the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the doorposts of the gate to the inner court.
\v 20 You will do this on the seventh of the month for each person’s sin by accident or ignorance; in this way you will atone for the temple.
\s5
\p
\v 21 In the first month on the fourteenth day of the month, there will be for you a festival, a seven day festival. You will eat unleavened bread.
\v 22 On that day, the prince will prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull as a sin offering.
\s5
\v 23 For the seven days of the festival, the prince will prepare a burnt offering for Yahweh: seven bulls and seven unblemished rams each day for seven days, and a male goat each day as a sin offering.
\v 24 Then the prince will perform a food offering of an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram with a hin of oil for each ephah.
\s5
\v 25 In the seventh month on the fifteenth day of the month, at the festival, the prince will perform offerings on these seven days: sin offerings, burnt offerings, food offerings, and offerings of oil.
\s5
\c 45
\p
\v 1 When you cast lots to divide up the land as an inheritance, you must make an offering to Yahweh; this offering will be a holy part of the land, twenty-five thousand long cubits in length, and ten thousand long cubits wide. It will be holy, all its area round about.
\v 2 From this there will be a five hundred cubits by five hundred cubits square surrounding the holy place, with a surrounding border fifty cubits wide.
\s5
\v 3 From this area you will measure a portion that is twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; it will be a holy place for you; a most holy place.
\v 4 It will be a holy place in the land for the priests who serve Yahweh, who come near Yahweh to serve him. It will be a place for their houses and a holy area for the holy place.
\v 5 So it will be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide, and it will be for towns for the Levites who serve in the house.

\v 25 To the south of Simeon's boundary, running from the east side to the west, will be the land of Issachar—one portion.

\v 27 To the south of Zebulon's boundary, running from the east side to the west side, will be the land of Gad—one portion.
\v 28 The southern boundary of Gad will extend from Tamar to the waters of Meribah Kadesh, and farther to the brook of Egypt, and then to the Great Sea.
\v 29 This is the land for which you will cast lots; it will be the inheritance of the tribes of Israel. These will be their portions. This is the Lord Yahweh’s declaration.
\s5

\v 30 These will be the exits from the city: on the north side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length,
\v 31 will be three gates, named for tribes of Israel:
one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi.
\v 32 On the east side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length, will be three gates: one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan.

\v 33 On the east side, which will measure 4,500 cubits in length, will be three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulon.
\v 34 On the west side, which will measure 4,500 cubits, will be three gates: one gate for Gad, one gate for Asher, and one gate for Naphtali.
\v 35 The distance around the city will be eighteen thousand cubits; from that day on, the city's name will be “Yahweh is There”
\s5
\c 48
\p
\v 1 These are the names of the tribes. The tribe of Dan will receive one portion of land; its boundary will run along the northern boundary of Israel by way of Hethlon and Lebo Hamath. Its boundary will go on to Hazar Enan and along the border with Damascus to the north and then on to Hamath. Dan's boundary will go from east all the way to the Great Sea.
\v 2 To the south of Dan's border will be the land of Asher—one portion of land, going from the east to the west.
\v 3 South of the border with Asher will be the one portion of Naphtali, extending from the east side to the west side.
\s5
\v 4 South of the border with Naphtali will be the one portion of Manasseh, extending from the east side to the west side.
\v 5 South of the border of Manasseh from the eastern side to the west side will be Ephraim—one portion.
\v 6 South of the border of Ephraim from the eastern side to the west side will be Reuben—one portion.
\v 7 Beside the border with Reuben from the eastern side to the west side will be Judah—one portion.
\s5
\p
\v 8 The offering of land that you will make will be along the border with Judah and extend from the east side to the west side; it will be twenty-five thousand cubits wide. Its length will correspond to one tribe's portion from the east side to the west side, and the temple will be in the middle of it.
\v 9 This land that you will offer up to Yahweh will be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits in width.
\s5
\v 10 These will be the assignments of this holy portion of land: the priests will have land assigned to them measuring twenty-five thousand cubits in width on the north side; ten thousand cubits in width on the west side; ten thousand cubits in width on the east side; and twenty-five thousand cubits in length on the south side, with the holy place of Yahweh in the middle of it.
\v 11 This shall be for those who are dedicated to Yahweh; the priests of the line of Zadok who have served me faithfully, who did not go astray when the people of Israel went astray, as the Levites did.
\v 12 The offering for them will be a portion of this most holy land, extending to the border of the Levites.
\s5
\p
\v 13 The Levites' land along the border with the priests' land will be twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand cubits wide. The entire length of the two tracts of land will be twenty-five thousand cubits long and twenty thousand cubits wide.
\v 14 They must not sell it or exchange it; none of this first fruits of the land of Israel must ever be separated from these tracts, for it all is holy to Yahweh.
\s5
\p
\v 15 The remaining land, five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand cubits long, will be for the collective use of the city, the houses, and the pastureland; the city will be in its midst.
\v 16 These will be the city's measurements: the north side will be 4,500 cubits long; the south side will be 4,500 cubits long; the east side will be 4,500 cubits long; and the west side will be 4,500 cubits long.
\s5
\v 17 There will be pasture for the city towards the north, 250 cubits deep; to the south, 250 deep; to the east, 250 deep, and to the west, 250 cubits deep.
\v 18 The remaining area of the holy offering will stretch for ten thousand cubits to the east and ten thousand cubits to the west. It will stretch along the border of the holy offering, and its produce will be food for those working in the city.
\s5
\v 19 The people who work in the city, people belonging to all the tribes of Israel, will farm that land.
\v 20 All the land offering will measure twenty-five thousand cubits by twenty-five thousand cubits. In this way you will make the holy offering of land, together with the land for the city.
\s5
\p
\v 21 The rest of the land on either side of the holy offering and the city area will be for the prince. The prince's tract of land to the east will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits from boundary of the holy offering to the eastern border—and his tract to the west will extend for twenty-five thousand cubits to the western border. In the middle will be the holy offering, and the holy place of the temple will be in its midst.
\v 22 The land extending from the property of the Levites and the area of the city in its midst will be for for the prince; it will be between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin—this land will be for the prince.
\s5
\p
\v 23 As for the remaining tribes, their portions will also run from the eastern side to the west side. Benjamin will receive one portion.
\v 24 To the south of Benjamin's boundary, running from the east side to the west, will be the land of Simeon—one portion.

\v 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylonia came to Jerusalem and surrounded the city to cut off all supplies to it.
\v 2 The Lord gave Nebuchadnezzar victory over Jehoiakim king of Judah, and he gave him some of the sacred objects from the house of God. He brought them into the land of Babylonia, to the house of his god, and he placed the sacred objects in his god's treasury.
\s5
\v 3 The king spoke to Ashpenaz, his chief official, to bring in some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility—
\v 4 young men without blemish, attractive in appearance, skillful in all wisdom, filled with knowledge and understanding, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the Babylonians' literature and language.
\v 5 The king counted out for them a daily portion of his delicacies and some of the wine that he drank. These young men were to be trained for three years, and after that, they would serve the king.
\s5
\v 6 Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, some of the people of Judah.
\v 7 The chief official gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego.
\s5
\p
\v 8 But Daniel intended in his mind that he would not pollute himself with the king’s delicacies or with the wine that he drank. So he asked permission from the chief official that he might not pollute himself.
\v 9 Now God gave Daniel favor and compassion through the respect that the chief official had for him.
\v 10 The chief official said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my master the king. He has commanded what food and drink you should have. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men of your own age? The king might have my head because of you."
\s5
\v 11 Then Daniel spoke to the steward whom the chief official had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
\v 12 He said, "Please test us, your servants, for ten days. Give us only some vegetables to eat and water to drink.
\v 13 Then compare our appearance with the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s delicacies, and treat us, your servants, based on what you see."
\s5
\p
\v 14 So the steward agreed with him to do this, and he tested them for ten days.
\v 15 At the end of ten days their appearance was more healthy, and they were better nourished, than all the young men who ate the king's delicacies.
\v 16 So the steward took away their delicacies and their wine and gave them only vegetables.
\s5
\p
\v 17 As for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and insight in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel could understand all kinds of visions and dreams.
\v 18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
\s5
\v 19 The king spoke with them, and among the whole group there were none to compare with Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. They stood before the king, ready to serve him.
\v 20 In every question of wisdom and understanding that the king asked them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead, who were in his entire kingdom.

\v 1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, he had dreams. His mind was troubled, and he could not sleep.
\v 2 Then the king summoned the magicians and those who claimed to speak with the dead. He also called the sorcerers and wise men. He wanted them to tell him about his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
\s5
\v 3 The king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my mind is anxious to know what the dream means."
\v 4 Then the wise men spoke to the king in Aramaic, "King, live forever! Tell the dream to us, your servants, and we will reveal the meaning."
\s5
\v 5 The king replied to the wise men, "This matter has been settled. If you do not reveal the dream to me and interpret it, your bodies will be torn apart and your houses made into piles of garbage.
\v 6 But if you will tell me the dream and its meaning, you will receive gifts from me, a reward, and great honor. So tell to me the dream and its meaning."
\s5
\v 7 They replied again and said, "Let the king tell us, his servants, the dream and we will tell you its meaning."
\v 8 The king answered, "I know for certain that you want more time because you see how firm my decision is about this.
\v 9 But if you do not tell me the dream, there is only one sentence for you. You have decided to prepare false and deceptive words that you agreed together to say to me until I change my mind. So then, tell me the dream, and then I will know you can interpret it for me."
\s5
\v 10 The wise men replied to the king, "There is not a man on earth able to meet the king’s demand. There is no great and powerful king who has demanded such a thing from any magician, or from anyone who claims to speak with the dead, or from a wise man.
\v 11 What the king demands is difficult, and there is no one who can tell it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans."
\s5
\v 12 This made the king angry and very furious, and he gave an order to destroy all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
\v 13 So the decree went out. All those known for their wisdom were to be put to death; they looked for Daniel and his friends so that they could be put to death, too.
\s5
\p
\v 14 Then Daniel replied with prudence and discretion to Arioch the commander of the king's bodyguard, who had come to kill all those in Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
\v 15 Daniel asked the king's commander, "Why is the king's decree so urgent?" So Arioch told Daniel what had happened.
\v 16 Then Daniel went in and requested an appointment with the king so that he could present the interpretation to the king.
\s5
\p
\v 17 Then Daniel went to his house and explained to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, what had happened.
\v 18 He urged them to seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he and they might not be killed with the rest of the men of Babylon who were known for their wisdom.
\s5
\v 19 That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven
\v 20 and said,
\q "Praise the name of God forever and ever;
\q for wisdom and power belong to him.
\s5
\q
\v 21 He changes the times
\q and seasons;
\q he removes kings
\q and places kings on their thrones.
\q He gives wisdom to the wise
\q and knowledge to those who have understanding.
\q
\v 22 He reveals the deep and hidden things
\q because he knows what is in the darkness,
\q and the light lives with him.
\s5
\q
\v 23 God of my ancestors,
I thank you and praise you
\q for the wisdom and power you gave to me.
\q Now you have made known to me
what we prayed for from you;
\q you made known to us the matter that concerns the king."
\s5
\p
\v 24 With all this Daniel went in to see Arioch, the one the king appointed to kill everyone who was wise in Babylon. He went and said to him, "Do not kill the wise men in Babylon. Escort me before the king and I will tell the dream's meaning to the king."
\s5
\p
\v 25 Then Arioch quickly brought in Daniel before the king and said, "I have found among the exiles of Judah a man who will reveal the meaning of the king's dream."
\v 26 The king said to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar), "Are you able to tell me the dream that I saw and its meaning?"
\s5
\v 27 Daniel answered the king and said, "The mystery that the king has demanded cannot be revealed by those who have wisdom, nor by those who claim to speak with the dead, nor by magicians, and not by astrologers.
\v 28 Nevertheless, there is a God who lives in the heavens, who reveals secrets, and he has made known to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, what will happen in the days to come. Your dream and the visions of your mind as you lay on your bed were these:
\s5
\v 29 As for you, king, your thoughts on your bed were about things to come, and the one who reveals secrets has made known to you what is about to happen.
\v 30 As for me, this secret was not revealed to me because of any wisdom that I have more than any other living person. This secret was revealed to me so that you, king, may understand the meaning, and so that you may know the thoughts deep within you.
\s5
\p
\v 31 King, you looked up and you saw a large statue. This statue, which was very powerful and bright, stood before you. Its brightness was terrifying.
\v 32 The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its breast and arms were of silver. Its middle and its thighs were made of bronze,
\v 33 and its legs were made of iron. Its feet were made partly of iron and partly of clay.
\s5
\v 34 You looked up, and a stone was cut out, although not by human hands, and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
\v 35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold at the same time were broken into pieces and became like the chaff of the threshing floors in the summer. The wind carried them away and there was no trace of them left. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
\s5
\p
\v 36 This was your dream. Now we will tell the king the meaning.
\v 37 You, king, are king of the kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the honor.
\v 38 He has given into your hand the place where the human beings live. He has given over the animals of the fields and the birds of the heavens into your hand, and he has made you rule over them all. You are the statue's head of gold.
\s5
\v 39 After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze will rule over all the earth.
\s5
\v 40 There will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks other things into pieces and shatters everything. It will shatter all these things and crush them.
\s5
\v 41 Just as you saw, the feet and toes were partly made of baked clay and partly made of iron, so it will be a divided kingdom; some of the strength of iron will be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
\v 42 As the toes of the feet were partly made of iron and partly made of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
\v 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so the people will be a mixture; they will not stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
\s5
\v 44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be conquered by another people. It will break the other kingdoms into pieces and put an end to all of them, and it will remain forever.
\v 45 Just as you saw, a stone was cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. It broke the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to you, king, what will happen after this. The dream is true and this interpretation is reliable."
\s5
\p
\v 46 King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel and honored him; he commanded that an offering be made and that incense be offered up to him.
\v 47 The king said to Daniel, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the one who reveals secrets, for you have been able to reveal this mystery."
\s5
\v 48 Then the king made Daniel highly honored and gave him many wonderful gifts. He made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. Daniel became chief governor over the wisest men of Babylon.
\v 49 Daniel made a request of the king, and the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be administrators over the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained in the king's palace.

\s5

\v 24 With all this Daniel went in to see Arioch, the one the king appointed to kill everyone who was wise in Babylon. He went and said to him, "Do not kill the wise men in Babylon. Escort me before the king and I will tell the dream's meaning to the king."
\s5

The wind carried them away and there was no trace of them left. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
\s5
\p
\v 36 This was your dream. Now we will tell the king the meaning.
\v 37 You, king, are king of the kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the honor.
\v 38 He has given into your hand the place where the human beings live. He has given over the animals of the fields and the birds of the heavens into your hand, and he has made you rule over them all. You are the statue's head of gold.
\s5
\v 39 After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you, and yet a third kingdom of bronze will rule over all the earth.
\s5
\v 40 There will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because iron breaks other things into pieces and shatters everything. It will shatter all these things and crush them.
\s5
\v 41 Just as you saw, the feet and toes were partly made of baked clay and partly made of iron, so it will be a divided kingdom; some of the strength of iron will be in it, just as you saw iron mixed with the soft clay.
\v 42 As the toes of the feet were partly made of iron and partly made of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
\v 43 As you saw the iron mixed with soft clay, so the people will be a mixture; they will not stay together, just as iron does not mix with clay.
\s5
\v 44 In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be conquered by another people. It will break the other kingdoms into pieces and put an end to all of them, and it will remain forever.
\v 45 Just as you saw, a stone was cut out of the mountain, but not by human hands. It broke the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to you, king, what will happen after this. The dream is true and this interpretation is reliable."
\s5
\p
\v 46 King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face before Daniel and honored him; he commanded that an offering be made and that incense be offered up to him.
\v 47 The king said to Daniel, "Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and the one who reveals secrets, for you have been able to reveal this mystery."
\s5
\v 48 Then the king made Daniel highly honored and gave him many wonderful gifts. He made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon. Daniel became chief governor over the wisest men of Babylon.
\v 49 Daniel made a request of the king, and the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to be administrators over the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained in the king's palace.

\v 1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue that was sixty cubits tall and six cubits wide. He set it up in the Plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
\v 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar sent messages out to gather together the provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the statue that he had set up.
\s5
\v 3 Then the provincial governors, regional governors, and local governors, together with the counselors, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the high officials of the provinces gathered together to the dedication of the statue that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. They stood before it.
\v 4 Then a herald loudly shouted, "You are commanded, peoples, nations, and languages,
\v 5 that at the time you hear the sound of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, you must fall down and prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.
\s5
\v 6 Whoever does not fall down and worship, at that very moment, will be thrown into a blazing furnace."
\v 7 So when all the peoples heard the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and prostrated themselves to the golden statue that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
\s5
\p
\v 8 Now at this time certain Chaldeans came and brought accusations against the Jews.
\v 9 They said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, "King, live forever!
\v 10 You, king, have made a decree that every person who hears the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music, must fall down and prostrate himself to the golden statue.
\s5
\v 11 Whoever does not fall down and worship must be thrown into a blazing furnace.
\v 12 Now there are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon; their names are Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, king, pay no attention to you. They will not worship, serve your gods, or prostrate themselves to the golden statue that you have set up."
\s5
\p
\v 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar, filled with anger and rage, commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought to him. So they brought these men before the king.
\v 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, "Have you made your minds up, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you will not worship my gods or prostrate yourselves to the golden statue that I have set up?
\s5
\v 15 Now if you are ready—when you hear the sounds of the horns, flutes, zithers, lyres, harps, and pipes, and all kinds of music—to fall down and prostrate yourselves to the statue that I have made, all will be well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. Who is the god who is able to rescue you out of my hands?"
\s5
\v 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, "Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
\v 17 If there is an answer, it is that our God whom we serve is able to keep us safe from the blazing furnace, and he will rescue us out of your hand, king.
\v 18 But if not, let it be known to you, king, that we will not worship your gods, and we will not prostrate ourselves to the golden statue you set up."
\s5
\p
\v 19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage; the look on his face changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He commanded that the furnace should be heated seven times hotter than it was normally heated.
\v 20 Then he commanded some very strong men in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and to throw them into the blazing furnace.
\s5
\v 21 They were tied up still wearing their robes, tunics, turbans, and other clothing, and they were thrown into the blazing furnace.
\v 22 Because the king’s command was strictly followed and the furnace was very hot, the flames killed the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
\v 23 These three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell into the blazing furnace while they were tied up.
\s5
\p
\v 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was amazed and stood up quickly. He asked his advisors, "Did we not throw three men tied up into the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, king."
\v 25 He said, "But I see four men who are not tied up walking around in the fire, and they are not hurt. The brilliance of the fourth is like a son of the gods."
\s5
\v 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the blazing furnace and called out, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of God Most High, come out! Come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire.
\v 27 The provincial governors, regional governors, other governors, and the king's counselors who had gathered together saw these men. The fire had not hurt their bodies; the hair on their heads was not singed; their robes were not harmed; and there was no smell of fire on them.
\s5
\p
\v 28 Nebuchadnezzar said, "Let us praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his messenger and given his message to his servants. They trusted in him when they set aside my command, and they gave up their bodies rather than worship or prostrate themselves to any god except their God.
\s5
\v 29 Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego must be torn apart, and that their houses must be made into piles of garbage because there is no other god who is able to save like this."
\v 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.

\p
\v 1 King Nebuchadnezzar sent this decree to all peoples, nations, and languages who lived on the earth: "May your peace increase.
\v 2 It has seemed good to me to tell you about the signs and wonders that the Most High has done for me.
\v 3
\q How great are his signs,
\q and how mighty are his wonders!
\q His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
\q and his dominion lasts from generation to generation."
\s5
\p
\v 4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was living happily in my house, and I was enjoying prosperity in my palace.
\v 5 But a dream I had made me afraid. As I lay there, the images I saw and the visions in my mind troubled me.
\v 6 So I gave a decree to bring before me all the men of Babylon who had wisdom so they could interpret the dream for me.
\s5
\v 7 Then came the magicians, those who claimed to speak with the dead, the wise men, and the astrologers. I told them the dream, but they could not interpret it for me.
\v 8 But at last Daniel came in—the one who is named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. I told him the dream.
\v 9 "Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too difficult for you. Tell me what I saw in my dream and what it means.
\s5
\v 10 These were the sights that I saw in my mind as I lay upon my bed: I looked, and there was a tree in the middle of the earth, and its height was very great.
\v 11 The tree grew and became strong. Its top reached to the heavens, and it could be seen to the ends of the whole earth.
\v 12 Its leaves were beautiful, its fruit was abundant, and on it was food for all. The wild animals found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches. All living creatures were fed from it.
\s5
\v 13 I saw in my mind as I lay on my bed, and a holy messenger came down from the heavens.
\v 14 He shouted and said, 'Chop down the tree and cut off its branches, strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Let the animals flee from under it and the birds fly away from its branches.
\s5
\v 15 Leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the animals among the plants on the ground.
\v 16 Let his mind be changed from man’s mind, and let an animal’s mind be given to him until seven years pass by.
\s5
\v 17 This decision is by the decree reported by the messenger. It is a decision made by the holy ones so that those who are alive may know that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and gives them to anyone he wishes to place over them, even to the most humble men.'
\v 18 I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had this dream. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the men with wisdom in my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able to do so, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
\s5
\p
\v 19 Then Daniel, who was also named Belteshazzar, was greatly upset for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king said, "Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you." Belteshazzar replied, "My master, may the dream be for those who hate you; may its interpretation be for your enemies.
\s5
\v 20 The tree that you saw—which grew and became strong, and whose top reached up to the heavens, and which could be seen to the ends of the whole earth—
\v 21 whose leaves were beautiful, and whose fruit was abundant, so that in it was food for all, and under it the animals of the field found shade, and in which the birds of the heavens lived—
\v 22 this tree is you, king, you who have grown so strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your authority reaches to the ends of the earth.
\s5
\v 23 You, king, saw a holy messenger coming down from heaven and saying, 'Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the middle of the tender grass of the field. Let it be wet with the dew from the heavens. Let it live with the wild animals in the fields until seven years pass by.'
\s5
\v 24 This is the interpretation, king. It is a decree of the Most High that has reached you, my master the king.
\v 25 You will be driven from among men, and you will live with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox, and you will be wet with the dew from the heavens, and seven years will pass by until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and that he gives them to anyone he wishes.
\s5
\v 26 As it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, in this way your kingdom will be returned to you from the time you learn that heaven rules.
\v 27 Therefore, king, let my advice be acceptable to you. Stop sinning and do what is right. Turn away from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, and it may be that your prosperity will be extended."
\s5
\p
\v 28-29 All these things happened to King Nebuchadnezzar in twelve months. He was walking at the royal palace in Babylon.
\v 30 The king was saying, "Is this not the great Babylon, which I have built for my royal residence, for the glory of my majesty?"
\s5
\v 31 While the king was still saying this, a voice came from heaven: "King Nebuchadnezzar, it has been decreed against you that this kingdom no longer belongs to you.
\v 32 You will be driven away from people, and your home will be with the wild animals in the fields. You will be made to eat grass like an ox. Seven years will pass until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of people and he gives them to anyone he wishes."
\s5
\v 33 This decree against Nebuchadnezzar was carried out immediately. He was driven away from people. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew from the heavens. His hair grew as long as eagles’ feathers, and his nails became like birds’ claws.
\s5
\p
\v 34 And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was given back to me.
\q "I praised the Most High,
\q and I honored and glorified the one who lives forever.
\q For his reign is an everlasting reign,
\q and his kingdom endures from all generations to all generations.
\s5
\q
\v 35 All the earth's inhabitants are considered by him to be as nothing;
\q he does among the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth
\q whatever suits his will.
\q No one can stop him or challenge him. No one can say to him, 'Why have you done this?'"
\s5
\p
\v 36 At the same time that my sanity returned to me, my majesty and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My counselors and my noblemen sought my favor. I was brought back to my throne, and even more greatness was given to me.

\v 6 Then the king’s face changed and his thoughts frightened him; his limbs could not support him, and his knees were knocking together.
\s5
\v 7 The king shouted a command to bring in those who claimed to speak with the dead, wise men, and astrologers. The king said to those known for their wisdom in Babylon, "Whoever explains this writing and its meaning will be clothed with purple and will have a gold chain around his neck. He will have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom."
\s5
\v 8 Then all the king’s men who were known for their wisdom came in, but they could not read the writing or explain its meaning to the king.
\v 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed and the look on his face changed. His noblemen were perplexed.
\s5
\p
\v 10 Now the queen mother came into the banquet house because of what the king and his nobles had said. The queen mother said, "King, live forever! Do not let your thoughts trouble you. Do not let the look on your face change.
\s5
\v 11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him. King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, made him chief of the magicians, as well as chief of those who speak with the dead, of the wise men, and of the astrologers.
\v 12 An excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting of dreams, explaining riddles and solving problems—these qualities were found in the very Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now call for Daniel and he will tell you the meaning of what has been written."
\s5
\p
\v 13 Then Daniel was brought before the king. The king said to him, "You are that Daniel, one of the people of the exiles of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah.
\v 14 I have heard about you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
\s5
\v 15 And now the men known for wisdom and those who claim to speak with the dead, have been brought in before me, to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, but they could not make known the interpretation of it.
\v 16 I have heard that you can give interpretations and solve problems. Now if you can read the writing and tell me its meaning, you will be clothed with purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom."
\s5
\p
\v 17 Then Daniel answered before the king, "Let your gifts be for yourself, and give your rewards to another person. Nevertheless, I will read the writing to you, king, and will tell you the meaning.
\v 18 As for you, king, the Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father the kingdom, greatness, honor, and majesty.
\v 19 Because of the greatness God gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared him. He put to death those he wanted to die, and he kept alive those he wished to live. He raised up those he wanted, and he humbled those he wished.
\s5
\v 20 But when his heart was arrogant and his spirit was hardened so that he acted presumptuously, he was brought down from his kingly throne, and they took away his majesty.
\v 21 He was driven away from humanity, he had the mind of an animal, and he lived with the wild donkeys. He ate grass like an ox. His body was wet with the dew from the heavens until he learned that the Most High God rules over the kingdoms of people and that he sets over them anyone he wishes.
\s5
\v 22 You his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this.
\v 23 You have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. From his house they brought you the containers that you, your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from, and you praised the idols made of silver and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—idols that do not see, hear, or know anything. You have not honored the God who holds your breath in his hand and who knows all your ways.
\v 24 Then God sent out a hand from his presence and this writing was done.
\s5
\p
\v 25 This is the writing that was done: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
\v 26 This is its meaning: MENE, God has 'numbered' your kingdom and brought it to an end.
\v 27 TEKEL, you are 'weighed' in the scales and are found lacking.
\v 28 PERES, your kingdom is 'divided' and is given to the Medes and Persians."
\s5
\p
\v 29 Then Belshazzar gave a command, and they clothed Daniel with purple. A chain of gold was put around his neck, and the king made a proclamation about him that he would have the authority of the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
\v 30 That night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed,
\v 31 and Darius the Mede received the kingdom when he was about sixty-two years old.
\s5
\c 5
\p
\v 1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his noblemen, and he drank wine in front of all one thousand of them.
\v 2 While Belshazzar tasted the wine, he gave orders to bring the containers made of gold or silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, from which he, his noblemen, and his wives and concubines could drink.
\s5
\v 3 The servants brought the gold containers that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God, in Jerusalem. The king, his noblemen, and his wives and concubines drank from them.
\v 4 They drank the wine and praised their idols made of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
\s5

\v 1 It pleased Darius to appoint over the kingdom 120 provincial governors who would rule over all the kingdom.
\v 2 Over them there were three chief administrators, and Daniel was one of them. These chief administrators were appointed so that they might supervise the provincial governors, so that the king should suffer no loss.
\v 3 Daniel was distinguished above the other chief administrators and the provincial governors because he had an extraordinary spirit. The king was planning to put him over the whole kingdom.
\s5
\p
\v 4 Then the other chief administrators and the provincial governors looked for mistakes in the work Daniel did for the kingdom, but they could find no corruption or failure in his duty because he was faithful. No mistakes or negligence was found in him.
\v 5 Then these men said, "We cannot find any reason to complain against this Daniel unless we find something against him regarding the law of his God."
\s5
\v 6 Then these administrators and governors brought a plan before the king. They said to him, "King Darius, may you live forever!
\v 7 All the chief administrators of the kingdom, the regional governors, and the provincial governors, the advisors, and the governors have consulted together and decided that you, the king, should issue a decree and should enforce it, so that whoever makes a petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, king, that person must be thrown into the den of lions.
\s5
\v 8 Now, King, issue a decree and sign the document so that it may not be changed, as directed by the laws of the Medes and Persians, so it cannot be repealed."
\v 9 So king Darius signed the document making the decree into a law.
\s5
\p
\v 10 When Daniel learned that the document had been signed into law, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his upper room toward Jerusalem), and he got down on his knees, as he did three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done before.
\v 11 Then these men who had formed the plot together saw Daniel make requests and seek help from God.
\s5
\v 12 Then they approached the king and spoke with him about his decree: "Did you not make a decree that everyone who makes a petition to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, king, must be throw into the den of lions?" The king answered, "The matter is settled, as directed by the law of the Medes and Persians; it cannot be repealed."
\s5
\v 13 Then they replied to the king, "That person Daniel, who is one of the people of the exile from Judah, pays no attention to you, king, or to the decree that you have signed. He prays to his God three times a day."
\v 14 When the king heard this, he was terribly distressed, and he applied his mind to rescue Daniel from this ruling. He labored until sunset to try to save Daniel.
\s5
\v 15 Then these men who had formed the plot gathered together with the king and said to him, "Know, king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no decree or statute that the king issues can be changed."
\s5
\p
\v 16 Then the king gave an order, and they brought in Daniel, and they threw him into the lions' den. The king said to Daniel, "May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you."
\s5
\v 17 A stone was brought over the entrance to the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles so that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.
\v 18 Then the king went to his palace and he went through the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.
\s5
\p
\v 19 Then at daybreak the king got up and quickly made his way to the lions' den.
\v 20 As he came near to the den, he called out to Daniel with a voice filled with pain. He said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to save you from the lions?"
\s5
\v 21 Then said Daniel to the king, "King, live forever!
\v 22 My God has sent his messenger and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me. For I was found blameless before him and also before you, king, and I have done you no harm."
\s5
\v 23 Then the king was very happy. He gave an order that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was lifted up out of the den. No harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
\s5
\p
\v 24 The king gave an order, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel and threw them into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives. Before they reached the floor, the lions overpowered them and broke all their bones to pieces.
\v 25 Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that live in all the earth:
\q "May peace increase for you.
\s5
\v 26 I hereby make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel,

\v 27
He makes us safe and rescues us,

\p
\v 1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylonia, Daniel had a dream and visions in his mind while lying on his bed. Then he wrote down what he had seen in the dream. He wrote down the most important events:
\v 2 Daniel explained, "In my vision at night I saw that the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.
\v 3 Four large animals, each one different from the other, came up out of the sea.
\s5
\v 4 The first was like a lion but had eagle’s wings. As I was looking, its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground and made to stand on two feet, like a man. The mind of a man was given to it.
\v 5 Then there was a second animal, like a bear, and it was bending over; it had three ribs between its teeth in its mouth. It was told, 'Get up and devour many people.'
\s5
\v 6 After this I looked again. There was another animal, one that looked like a leopard. On its back it had four wings like bird wings, and it had four heads. It was given authority to rule.
\v 7 After this I saw in my dream at night a fourth animal, terrifying, frightening, and very strong. It had large iron teeth; it devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled underfoot what was left. It was different from the other animals, and it had ten horns.
\s5
\v 8 While I was considering the horns, I looked and saw another horn grow up among them, a little horn. Three of the first horns were wrenched out by the roots. I saw in this horn eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that was boasting about great things.
\s5
\p
\v 9 As I looked,
\q thrones were set in place,
\q and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
\q His clothing was as white as snow,
\q and the hair of his head was like pure wool.
\q His throne was flames of fire,
\q and its wheels were burning fire.
\s5
\v 10 A river of fire flowed out from before him;
\q millions served him,
\q and one hundred million were standing before him.
\q The court was in session,
\q and the books were opened.
\s5
\v 11 I continued to look because of the boastful words spoken by the horn. I watched while the animal was killed, and its body was destroyed, and it was handed over to be burned up.
\v 12 As for the rest of the four animals, their authority to rule was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a period of time.
\s5
\p
\v 13 In my visions that night,
\q I saw one coming with the clouds of heaven like a son of man;
\q he came to the Ancient of Days
\q and was presented before him.
\q
\v 14 Authority to rule and glory and royal power were given to him
\q so that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him.
\q His authority to rule is an everlasting authority that will not pass away,
\q and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
\s5
\p
\v 15 As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved inside of me, and the visions I saw in my mind troubled me.
\v 16 I approached one of them standing there and asked him to show me the meaning of these things.
\s5
\v 17 'These large animals, four in number, are four kings that will arise from the earth.
\v 18 But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and they will possess it forever and ever.'
\s5
\v 19 Then I wanted to know more about the fourth animal—it was so different from the others and very horrific with its iron teeth and bronze claws; it devoured, broke into pieces, and trampled on what was left with its feet.
\v 20 I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head, and about the other horn that grew up before which the three horns fell down. I wanted to know about the horn that had eyes and about the mouth that boasted about great things and that seemed greater than its companions.
\s5
\v 21 As I looked, this horn waged war against the holy people and was defeating them
\v 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and justice was given to the holy people of the Most High. Then the time came when the holy people received the kingdom.
\s5
\p
\v 23 This is what that person said, 'As for the fourth animal,
\q it will be a fourth kingdom on earth
\q that will be different from all the other kingdoms.
\q It will devour the whole earth,
\q and it will trample it down
\q and break it into pieces.
\q
\v 24 As for the ten horns,
\q out of this kingdom ten kings will arise,
\q and another will arise after them.
\q He will be different from the previous ones,
\q and he will conquer the three kings.
\s5
\v 25 He will speak words against the Most High
\q and will oppress the holy people of the Most High God.
\q He will try to change the festivals and the law.
\q These things will be given into his hand
\q for one year, two years, and half a year.
\q
\v 26 But the court will be in session,
\q and they will take his royal power away
\q to be consumed and destroyed at the end.
\s5
\v 27 The kingdom and the dominion,
\q and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
\q will be given to the people
\q who belong to the holy people of the Most High.
\q His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
\q and all other kingdoms will serve and obey him.'
\p
\v 28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me and my face changed in appearance. But I kept these things to myself."

\v 19 Then I wanted to know more about the fourth animal—it was so different from the others and very horrific with its iron teeth and bronze claws; it devoured, broke into pieces, and trampled on what was left with its feet.
\v 20 I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head, and about the other horn that grew up before which the three horns fell down. I wanted to know about the horn that had eyes and about the mouth that boasted about great things and that seemed greater than its companions.
\s5
\v 21 As I looked, this horn waged war against the holy people and was defeating them
\v 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and justice was given to the holy people of the Most High. Then the time came when the holy people received the kingdom.
\s5
\p
\v 23 This is what that person said, 'As for the fourth animal,
\q it will be a fourth kingdom on earth
\q that will be different from all the other kingdoms.
\q It will devour the whole earth,
\q and it will trample it down
\q and break it into pieces.
\q
\v 24 As for the ten horns,
\q out of this kingdom ten kings will arise,
\q and another will arise after them.
\q He will be different from the previous ones,
\q and he will conquer the three kings.
\s5
\v 25 He will speak words against the Most High
\q and will oppress the holy people of the Most High God.
\q He will try to change the festivals and the law.
\q These things will be given into his hand
\q for one year, two years, and half a year.
\q
\v 26 But the court will be in session,
\q and they will take his royal power away
\q to be consumed and destroyed at the end.
\s5
\v 27 The kingdom and the dominion,
\q and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
\q will be given to the people
\q who belong to the holy people of the Most High.
\q His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
\q and all other kingdoms will serve and obey him.'
\p
\v 28 Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me and my face changed in appearance. But I kept these things to myself."

\c 8
\p
\v 1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, I, Daniel, had a vision appear to me (after the one that appeared to me at first).
\v 2 I saw in the vision, as I was looking, that I was in the fortified city of Susa in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
\s5
\v 3 I looked up and saw before me a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal. One horn was longer than the other, but the longer one grew more slowly than the shorter and was passed up in length by it.
\v 4 I saw the ram charging west, then north, and then south; no other animal could stand before him. None of them was able to rescue anyone out of his hand. He did whatever he wanted, and he became great.
\s5
\p
\v 5 As I was thinking about this, I saw a male goat come from the west, across the face of the whole earth, running fast, not seeming to touch the ground. The goat had a large horn between his eyes.
\v 6 He came to the ram who had two horns—I had seen the ram standing on the bank of the canal—and the goat ran toward the ram in a powerful rage.
\s5
\v 7 I saw the goat come close to the ram. He was very angry at the ram, and he hit the ram and broke off its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand before him. The goat knocked him down to the ground and trampled on him. There was no one who could rescue the ram from his power.
\v 8 Then the goat became very large. But when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in its place four other large horns grew up that pointed toward the four winds of the heavens.
\s5
\p
\v 9 Out of one of them grew another horn, little at first, but which became very large in the south, in the east, and in the glorious land of Israel.
\v 10 It became so large as to engage in war with the army of heaven. Some of that army and some of the stars were thrown down to the earth, and it trampled on them.
\s5
\v 11 It became great, even as great as the divine commander of the army. The regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was polluted.
\v 12 Because of rebellion, the army will be given over to the goat's horn, and the burnt offering will be stopped. The horn will throw truth down to the ground, and it will succeed in what it does.
\s5
\v 13 Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one answering him, "How long will these things last, this vision about the burnt offering, the sin that brings destruction, the handing over of the sanctuary, and heaven's army being trampled on?"
\v 14 He said to me, "It will last for 2,300 evenings and mornings. After that the sanctuary will be put right."
\s5
\p
\v 15 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I tried to understand it. And there stood before me one who looked like a man.
\v 16 I heard a man’s voice calling between the banks of the Ulai Canal. He said, "Gabriel, help this man understand the vision."
\v 17 So he came near where I stood. When he came, I was frightened and prostrated myself on the ground. He said to me, "Understand, son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."
\s5
\v 18 When he spoke to me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and made me stand up.
\v 19 He said, "See, I will show you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the time fixed for the end.
\s5
\v 20 As for the ram you saw, the one that had two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.
\v 21 The male goat is the king of Greece. The large horn between his eyes is the first king.
\s5
\v 22 As for the horn that was broken, in the place of which four others arose—four kingdoms will arise from his nation, but not with his great power.
\v 23 At the latter time of those kingdoms, when the transgressors shall have reached their limit, a grim-faced king, one who is very intelligent, will arise.
\s5
\v 24 His power will be great—but not by his own power. He will cause widespread devastation, and he will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy powerful people, people who are holy.
\v 25 By his craftiness he will make deceit prosper under his hand. He will even rise up against the King of kings, and he will be broken—but not by human power.
\s5
\v 26 The vision about the evenings and mornings that has been told is true. But seal up the vision, for it refers to many days in the future."
\s5
\v 27 Then I, Daniel, was overcome and lay weak for several days. Then I got up, and went about the king’s business. But I was appalled by the vision, and there was no one who understood it.

\v 14 "But look, I will raise up against you a nation,

\s5

\p
\q
\v 1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
\q and to those who are secure in the hill country of Samaria,
\q the notable men of the best of the nations,
\q to whom the house of Israel comes for help!
\q
\v 2 Your leaders say, "Go to Calneh and look;
\q from there go to Hamath, the great city;
\q then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
\q Are they better than your two kingdoms?
\q Is their border larger than your border?"
\s5
\q
\v 3 Woe to those who put off the day of disaster
\q and make the throne of violence come near.
\q
\v 4 They lie on beds of ivory
\q and lounge on their couches.
\q They eat lambs from the flock
\q and calves from the stall.
\s5
\q
\v 5 They sing foolish songs to the music of the harp;
\q they improvise on instruments as David did.
\q
\v 6 They drink wine from bowls
\q and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
\q but they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
\s5
\p
\q
\v 7 So they will now go into exile with the first exiles,
\q and the feasts of those who lounge about will pass away.
\q
\v 8 I, the Lord Yahweh, have sworn by myself
\q —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts:
\q "I detest the pride of Jacob;
\q I hate his fortresses.
\q Therefore I will hand over the city with all that is in it."
\s5
\v 9 It will come about that
If there are ten men left in one house, they will all die.
\v 10 When a man's relative comes to take their bodies up—the one who is to cremate them after bringing the corpses out of the house—if he says to the person in the house, "Is there anyone with you?" And if that person says, "No," then he will say, "Be quiet, for we must not mention Yahweh's name."
\s5
\q
\v 11 For, look, Yahweh will give a command,
\q and the big house will be smashed to pieces,
\q and the little house to bits.
\s5
\p
\q
\v 12 Do horses run on the rocky cliffs?
\q Does one plow there with oxen?
\q Yet you have turned justice into poison
\q and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness.
\q
\v 13 You who rejoice over Lo Debar,
\q who say, "Have we not taken Karnaim by our own strength?"
\s5
\q
\v 14 "But look, I will raise up against you a nation,
\q house of Israel"—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts.

\q from Lebo Hamath to the brook of the Arabah."

\v 3 "My people, what have I done to you?
\q How have I wearied you?
\q Testify against me!
\q
\v 4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt
\q and rescued you out of the house of bondage.

\v 5 My people, call to mind what Balak king of Moab devised,
\q and what Balaam son of Beor answered him

\q that you may know the righteous acts of me, Yahweh."
\s5
\p
\q
\v 6 What should I bring to Yahweh,
\q as I bow down to the high God?
\q Should I come to him with burnt offerings,

Olives will be split in half between the east and the west by a very great valley, and half of the mountain will go back towards the north and half towards the south.
\s5
\v 5 Then you will flee down the valley between Yahweh's mountains, for the valley between those mountains will reach to Azal. You will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones will be with him.
\s5
\v 6 It will happen that on that day that there will be no light, but no cold or frost, either.
\v 7 On that day, a day known only to Yahweh, there will no longer be day or night, for the evening will be a time of light.
\v 8 And it will also happen on that day that running water will go flow from Jerusalem. Half of the water will go to the eastern sea, and half of the flow toward the western sea, whether it is summer or winter.
\s5
\p
\v 9 Yahweh will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be Yahweh, the one God, and his name alone.
\v 10 All the land will be like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem will continue to be elevated; she will live in her own place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place where the first gate was— now the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
\v 11 The people will live in Jerusalem, and there will be no more complete destruction from God against them; Jerusalem will live in safety.
\s5
\p
\v 12 This will be the plague with which Yahweh will attack all the peoples that waged war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot away even as they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
\v 13 It will happen on that day that great fear from Yahweh will come among them. Each man will seize his neigbor's hand; each hand will be raised against its neighbor's hand.
\s5
\v 14 Judah will also fight against Jerusalem. They will gather the wealth of all the surrounding nations—gold, silver, and fine clothes in great abundance.
\v 15 A plague will also be on the horses and the mules, the camels and donkeys, and on every animal in those camps; they will also suffer that same plague.
\s5
\p
\v 16 Then it will happen that all who remain in those nations that came against Jerusalem will instead go up from year to year to worship the king,
Yahweh of hosts, and to keep the Festival of Shelters.
\v 17 And it will happen that if anyone from all the nations of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the king, Yahweh of hosts, then Yahweh will not bring rain on them.
\v 18 And if the nation of Egypt does not go up, then they will not receive rain. A plague from Yahweh will attack the nations that do not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
\s5
\v 19 This will be the punishment for Egypt and the punishment for every nation that does not go up to keep the Festival of Shelters.
\s5
\v 20 But on that day, the bells of the horses will say, "Dedicated to Yahweh," and the basins in Yahweh's house will be like the bowls before the altar.
\v 21 For every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be dedicated to Yahweh of hosts, and everyone who brings a sacrifice will eat from them and boil in them.
Traders will no longer be in the house of Yahweh of hosts on that day.
\s5
\c 14
\p
\v 1 Behold! A day for Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided in your midst!
\v 2 For I will gather every nation against Jerusalem for battle, and the city will captured! The houses will be plundered and the
women raped! Half of the city will go out into captivity, but the remainder of the people will not be cut off from the city.
\s5
\v 3 But Yahweh will go out and wage war against those nations as when he wages war on the day of battle.
\v 4 On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is beside Jerusalem to the east. The Mount of

\v 1 And now, you priests, this command is for you.

\s5
\v 3 See, I will rebuke your descendants, and I will spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and you will be taken away with it.

\v 5 "My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave these things to him as things to honor me for. He honored me and stood in awe of my name.
\v 6 True teaching was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many away from sin.

\v 8 But you have turned away from the true path. You have caused many to stumble with respect to the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi," says Yahweh of hosts.

holy place of Yahweh which he loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

\v 16 After he was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him. He saw the Spirit of God coming down like a dove and alighting on him.
\v 17 Behold, a voice came out of the heavens saying, "This is my beloved Son. I am very pleased with him."

\v 1 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the hill. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
\v 2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
\p
\q
\v 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
\q2 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
\q
\v 4 Blessed are those who mourn,
\q2 for they will be comforted.
\s5
\q
\v 5 Blessed are the meek,
\q2 for they will inherit the earth.
\q
\v 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
\q2 for they will be filled.
\q
\v 7 Blessed are the merciful,
\q2 for they will obtain mercy.
\q
\v 8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
\q2 for they will see God.
\s5
\q
\v 9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
\q2 for they will be called sons of God.
\q
\v 10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
\q2 for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
\s5
\p
\v 11 Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, or say all kinds of evil things against you falsely for my sake.
\v 12 Rejoice and be very glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For in this way people persecuted the prophets that lived before you.
\s5
\p
\v 13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is never again good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under by people's feet.
\v 14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be concealed.
\s5
\v 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but rather, on the lampstand, and it shines for everyone in the house.
\v 16 Let your light shine before people in such a way that they see your good deeds and praise your Father who is in heaven.
\s5
\p
\v 17 Do not think that I have come to destroy the law or the prophets. I have come not to destroy them, but to fulfill them.
\v 18 For truly I say to you that until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things shall have been accomplished.
\s5
\v 19 Therefore whoever breaks the least one of these commandments and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever keeps them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
\v 20 For I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will in no way enter the kingdom of heaven.
\s5
\p
\v 21 You have heard that it was said to them in ancient times, 'Do not kill,' and, 'Whoever kills will be in danger of the judgment.'
\v 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be in danger of the judgment. And whoever
says to his brother, 'You worthless person!' will be in danger of the council. And whoever says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
\s5
\v 23 Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
\v 24 leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go on your way. First be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
\s5
\v 25 Agree with your accuser quickly while you are with him on the way to court. Or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge would hand you over to the officer, and you would be thrown into prison.
\v 26 Truly I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the last bit of money you owe.
\s5
\p
\v 27 You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
\v 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
\s5
\v 29 And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish, than that your whole body should be thrown into hell.
\v 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your body parts should perish, than that your whole body should go into hell.
\s5
\v 31 It was also said, 'Whoever sends his wife away, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
\v 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress. And whoever marries her after she has been divorced commits adultery.
\s5
\p
\v 33 Again, you have heard that it was said to those in ancient times, 'Do not swear a false oath, but carry out your oaths to the Lord.'
\v 34 But I say to you, swear not at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
\v 35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool for his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
\s5
\v 36 Neither swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
\v 37 But let your speech be, 'Yes, yes,' or 'No, no.' Anything that is more than this is from the evil one.
\s5
\p
\v 38 You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
\v 39 But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil. Instead, whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
\s5
\v 40 And if anyone wishes to go to court with you and takes away your coat, let that person also have your cloak.
\v 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
\v 42 Give to anyone who asks you, and do not turn away from anyone who wishes to borrow from you.
\s5
\p
\v 43 You have heard that it was said, 'You will love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
\v 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
\v 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
\s5
\v 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you get? Do not even the tax collectors do the same thing?
\v 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what do you do more than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same thing?
\v 48 Therefore you must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

\v 1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, large crowds followed him.
\v 2 Behold, a leper came to him and bowed before him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
\v 3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be clean." Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy.
\s5
\v 4 Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to any man. Go on your way, and show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."

\p
\v 5 When Jesus had entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to him and asked him,
\v 6 saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed and in terrible pain."
\v 7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
\s5
\v 8 The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof. Only say the word and my servant will be healed.
\v 9 For I also am a man who is placed under authority and I have soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
\v 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those who were following him, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such faith with anyone in Israel.
\s5
\v 11 I tell you, many will come from the east and the west, and they will recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
\v 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
\v 13 Jesus said to the centurion, "Depart! As you have believed, so may it be done for you." And the servant was healed at that very hour.

\v 14 When Jesus had come into Peter’s house, he saw Peter's mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
\v 15 Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her. Then she got up and started serving him.
\s5
\v 16 When evening had come, the people brought to Jesus many who were controlled by demons. He drove out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.
\v 17 In this way was fulfilled that which had been spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He himself took our sickness and bore our diseases."
\s5
\p
\v 18 Now when Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave instructions to leave for the other side of the sea of Galilee.
\v 19 Then a scribe came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
\v 20 Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
\s5
\v 21 Another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
\v 22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
\s5
\p
\v 23 When Jesus had entered a boat, his disciples followed him into it.
\v 24 Behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But Jesus was asleep.
\v 25 The disciples came to him and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are about to die!"
\s5
\v 26 Jesus said to them, "Why are you afraid, you of little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. Then there was a great calm.
\v 27 The men marveled and said, "What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"
\s5
\p
\v 28 When Jesus had come to the other side and to the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were controlled by demons met him. They were coming out of the tombs and were very violent, so that no traveler could pass that way.
\v 29 Behold, they cried out and said, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the set time?"
\s5
\v 30 Now a herd of many pigs was there feeding, not too far away from them.
\v 31 The demons kept imploring Jesus and saying, "If you cast us out, send us away into that herd of pigs."
\v 32 Jesus said to them, "Go!" The demons came out and went into the pigs. And behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep hill into the sea and they died in the water.
\s5
\v 33 The men who had been tending the pigs ran away. And when they went into the city they reported everything, especially what happened to the men who had been controlled by demons.

\v 28 When Jesus had come to the other side and to the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were controlled by demons met him. They were coming out of the tombs and were very violent, so that no traveler could pass that way.
\v 29 Behold, they cried out and said, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the set time?"
\s5
\v 30 Now a herd of many pigs was there feeding, not too far away from them.
\v 31 The demons kept imploring Jesus and saying, "If you cast us out, send us away into that herd of pigs."
\v 32 Jesus said to them, "Go!" The demons came out and went into the pigs. And behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep hill into the sea and they died in the water.
\s5
\v 33 The men who had been tending the pigs ran away. And when they went into the city they reported everything, especially what happened to the men who had been controlled by demons.
\v 34 Behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus. When they saw him, they begged him to leave their region.

\v 1 Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to heal all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness.
\s5
\v 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles were these. The first, Simon (whom he also called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
\v 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
\v 4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
\s5
\p
\v 5 These twelve Jesus sent out. He instructed them and said, "Do not go to any place where Gentiles live, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans.
\v 6 Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
\v 7 And as you go, preach and say, 'The kingdom of heaven has drawn near.'
\s5
\v 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
\v 9 Do not carry any gold, silver, or brass in your purses.
\v 10 Do not take a traveling bag for your journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals, or a staff; for a laborer deserves his food.
\s5
\v 11 Whatever city or village you enter, find who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
\v 12 As you enter into the house, greet it.
\v 13 If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace come back to you.
\s5
\v 14 As for those who do not receive you or listen to your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
\v 15 Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
\s5
\p
\v 16 See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
\v 17 Watch out for people! They will deliver you up to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
\v 18 And you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
\s5
\v 19 When they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you will speak, for what to say will be given to you in that hour.
\v 20 For it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father who will speak in you.
\s5
\v 21 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
\v 22 You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person will be saved.
\v 23 When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, before the Son of Man has come.

\p
\v 24 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
\v 25 It is enough for the disciple that he should be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more them of his household!
\s5
\v 26 Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
\v 27 What I tell you in the darkness, say in the daylight, and what you hear softly in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
\s5
\v 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
\v 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
\v 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
\v 31 Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
\s5
\v 32 Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
\v 33 But he who denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

\v 34 Do not think that I came to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

\v 36 A man’s enemies will be those of his own household.

\v 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.

\v 1 On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
\v 2 A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it. All the crowd stood on the beach.
\s5
\v 3 Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, "Behold, a sower went out to sow.
\v 4 As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
\v 5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
\v 6 But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
\s5
\v 7 Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
\v 8 Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
\v 9 He who has ears, let him listen."
\s5
\p
\v 10 The disciples came and said to Jesus, "Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?"
\v 11 Jesus answered and said to them, "You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
\v 12 Because whoever has, to him will be given more, and he will have a great deal. But whoever has not, from him will be taken away even what he has.
\s5
\v 13 So I talk to them in parables, because although they see, they do not really see. And although they hear, they do not really hear, neither do they understand.
\v 14 To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says,
\q 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand;
\q while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
\s5
\q
\v 15 For this people’s heart has become dull,
\q and they are hard of hearing,
\q and they have closed their eyes,
\q so they should not see with their eyes,
\q or hear with their ears,
\q or understand with their hearts,
\q so they would turn again,
\q and I would heal them.'
\m
\s5
\v 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
\v 17 Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
\s5
\v 18 Listen then to the parable of the sower.
\v 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, then the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is he who was sown on the wayside.
\s5
\v 20 He who was sown on the rocky ground is he who hears the word and receives it with joy immediately.
\v 21 Yet he has no root in himself but endures for only a little while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he stumbles immediately.
\s5
\v 22 He who was sown among the thorn plants, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.
\v 23 He who was sown on the good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it. This is he who truly produces fruit and cultivates it; some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty."
\s5
\p
\v 24 Jesus presented another parable to them, he said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
\v 25 But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
\v 26 When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
\s5
\v 27 The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
\v 28 He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
\s5
\v 29 The landowner said, 'No, or when you pull out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
\v 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, "First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
\s5
\p
\v 31 Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
\v 32 This seed is indeed the smallest of all other seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."
\s5
\v 33 Jesus then told them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it rose."
\s5
\p
\v 34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables. And without parables he said nothing to them.
\v 35 This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said,
\q "I will open my mouth in parables.
\q I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world."
\s5
\p
\v 36 Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field."
\v 37 Jesus answered and said, "He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
\v 38 The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
\v 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are angels.
\s5
\v 40 Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the world.
\v 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin, and those who commit iniquity.
\v 42 They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
\v 43 Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
\s5
\p
\v 44 The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
\v 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
\v 46 When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
\s5
\p
\v 47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
\v 48 When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
\s5
\v 49 It will be this way at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous.
\v 50 They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
\s5
\p
\v 51 Have you understood all these things?" The disciples said to him, "Yes."
\v 52 Then Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who withdraws old and new things from his treasure."
\v 53 Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
\s5
\p
\v 54 Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, "Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
\v 55 Is not this man the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother Mary? And his brothers, are they not James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
\v 56 And his sisters, are they not all among us? So where does this man get all these things from?"
\s5
\v 57 They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family."
\v 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.

\v 1 About that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
\v 2 He said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has risen from the dead. Therefore these powers are at work in him."

\p
\v 13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to an isolated place. When the crowds heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
\v 14 Then Jesus came before them and saw the large crowd. He had compassion on them and healed their sick.
\s5
\v 15 When the evening had come, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the day is already over. Dismiss the crowds, so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."
\s5
\v 16 But Jesus said to them, "They have no need to go away. You give them something to eat."
\v 17 They said to him, "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish."
\v 18 Jesus said, "Bring them to me."
\s5
\v 19 Then Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. Looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples. The disciples gave them to the crowd.
\v 20 They all ate and were filled. Then they took up what remained of the broken pieces of food—twelve baskets full.
\v 21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
\s5
\p
\v 22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he himself would send the crowd away.
\v 23 After he had sent the crowd away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had fully come, he was there alone.
\v 24 But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, almost uncontrollable because of the waves, for the wind was contrary.
\s5
\v 25 In the fourth watch of the night Jesus approached them, walking on the sea.
\v 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, "It is a ghost," and they cried out in fear.
\v 27 But Jesus spoke to them right away and said, "Be brave! It is I! Be not afraid."
\s5
\v 28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."
\v 29 Jesus said, "Come." So Peter got out from the boat and walked on the waters to go to Jesus.
\v 30 But when Peter saw the wind, he became afraid. As he began to sink, he cried out and said, "Lord, save me!"
\s5
\v 31 Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, took hold of Peter, and said to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"
\v 32 Then when Jesus and Peter went into the boat, the wind ceased blowing.
\v 33 Then the disciples in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, "Truly you are the Son of God."
\s5
\p
\v 34 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
\v 35 When the men in that place recognized Jesus, they sent messages everywhere into the surrounding area, and they brought to him everyone who was sick.
\v 36 They begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.

\p
\v 1 About that time, Herod the tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
\v 2 He said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist, he has risen from the dead. Therefore these powers are at work in him."
\s5
\v 3 For Herod had laid hold upon John, bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.
\v 4 For John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her as your wife."
\v 5 Herod would have put him to death, but he feared the people, because they regarded him as a prophet.
\s5
\v 6 But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod.
\v 7 In response, he promised with an oath to give her whatever she should ask.
\s5
\v 8 After being instructed by her mother, she said, "Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist."
\v 9 The king was very upset by her request, but because of his oath, and because of all those at dinner with him, he ordered that it should be done.
\s5
\v 10 He sent and beheaded John in the prison.
\v 11 Then his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl and she took it to her mother.
\v 12 Then his disciples came, took up the corpse, and buried it. After this, they went and told Jesus.

\v 3 Pharisees came to him, testing him, saying to him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause?"
\v 4 Jesus answered and said, "Have you not read, that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female?"

\v 5 And that he also said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?

\v 11 But Jesus said to them, "Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those who are allowed to accept it.

\v 13 Then some little children were brought to him so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

\v 20 The young man said to him, "All these things I have obeyed. What do I still need?"

\v 2 But he answered and said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down."
\s5
\p
\v 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"
\v 4 Jesus answered and said to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
\v 5 For many will come in my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
\s5
\v 6 You will hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not troubled, for these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
\v 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
\v 8 But all these things are only the beginning of birth pains.
\s5
\v 9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you. You will be hated by all the nations for my name’s sake.
\v 10 Then many will stumble and betray one another, and will hate one another.
\v 11 Many false prophets will rise up and lead many astray.
\s5
\v 12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
\v 13 But he who endures to the end, he will be saved.
\v 14 This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations. And then the end will come.

\v 15 Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
\v 16 let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
\v 17 let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out anything that is in his house,
\v 18 and let him who is in the field not return to take his cloak.
\s5
\v 19 But woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
\v 20 Pray that your flight not occur in the winter, nor on a Sabbath.
\v 21 For there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be again.
\v 22 Unless those days are shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
\s5
\v 23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There is the Christ!' do not believe it.

\v 26 Therefore, if they say to you, 'Look, the Christ is in the wilderness,' do not go out to the wilderness. Or, 'See, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
\v 27 For as the lightning shines out from the east and flashes all the way to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
\v 28 Wherever a dead animal is, there the vultures will gather.
\s5
\p
\v 29 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
\s5
\v 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
\v 31 He will send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
\s5
\p
\v 32 Learn a lesson from the fig tree. As soon as the branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.
\v 33 So also, when you see all these things, you should know that he is near, close to the gates.
\s5
\v 34 Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away, until all of these things will have occurred.
\v 35 Heaven and the earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
\s5
\v 36 But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
\s5
\v 37 As the days of Noah were, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
\v 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark,
\v 39 and they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away—so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 40 Then two men will be in a field–one will be taken, and one will be left behind.
\v 41 Two women will be grinding with a mill–one will be taken, and one will be left.
\v 42 Therefore be on your guard, for you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
\s5
\v 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have been on guard and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
\v 44 Therefore you must also be ready, for the Son of Man will come in an hour that you do not expect.
\s5
\p
\v 45 So who is the faithful, wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, in order to give them their food at the right time?
\v 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his master will find doing that when he comes.
\v 47 Truly I say to you that the master will set him over everything that he owns.
\s5
\v 48 But if an evil servant says in his heart, 'My master has been delayed,'
\v 49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eats and drinks with drunkards,
\v 50 the master of that servant will come on a day that the servant does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know.
\v 51 His master will cut him in two and make his fate the same as that of the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
\s5
\c 24
\p
\v 1 Jesus went out from the temple and was going on his way. His disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple.
\v 2 But he answered and said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone will be left on another which will not be torn down."
\s5
\p
\v 3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will these things happen? What will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?"
\v 4 Jesus answered and said to them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray.
\v 5 For many will come in my name. They will say, 'I am the Christ,' and will lead many astray.
\s5
\v 6 You will hear of wars and reports of wars. See that you are not troubled, for these things must happen; but the end is not yet.
\v 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
\v 8 But all these things are only the beginning of birth pains.
\s5
\v 9 Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you. You will be hated by all the nations for my name's sake.
\v 10 Then many will stumble and betray one another, and will hate one another.
\v 11 Many false prophets will rise up and lead many astray.
\s5
\v 12 Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
\v 13 But he who endures to the end, he will be saved.
\v 14 This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations. And then the end will come.
\s5
\p
\v 15 Therefore, when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
\v 16 let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains,
\v 17 let him who is on the housetop not go down to take out anything that is in his house,
\v 18 and let him who is in the field not return to take his cloak.
\s5
\v 19 But woe to those who are with child and to those who are nursing infants in those days!
\v 20 Pray that your flight not occur in the winter, nor on a Sabbath.
\v 21 For there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever will be again.
\v 22 Unless those days are shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.
\s5
\v 23 Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'There is the Christ!' do not believe it.
\v 24 For false Christs and false prophets will come and show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.
\v 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
\s5
\v 26 Therefore, if they say to you, 'Look, the Christ is in the wilderness,' do not go out to the wilderness. Or, 'See, he is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
\v 27 For as the lightning shines out from the east and flashes all the way to the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

\p
\v 1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.
\v 2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
\s5
\p
\v 3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he repented and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
\v 4 and said, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself."
\v 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went out and hanged himself.
\s5
\v 6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put this into the treasury, because it is the price of blood."
\v 7 They discussed the matter together and with the money bought the Potter’s Field to bury strangers in.
\v 8 For this reason that field has been called, "The field of blood" to this day.
\s5
\v 9 Then that which had been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,
\v 10 and they gave it for the potter’s field, as the Lord had directed me."
\s5
\p
\v 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" Jesus answered him, "You say so."
\v 12 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
\v 13 Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear all the charges against you?"
\v 14 But he did not answer even one word, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
\s5
\v 15 Now at the feast it was the custom of the governor to release one prisoner chosen by the crowd.
\v 16 At that time they had a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
\s5
\v 17 So when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"
\v 18 Because he knew that they had handed him over because of envy.
\v 19 While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent word to him and said, "Have nothing to do with that innocent man. For I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him."
\s5
\v 20 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas, and have Jesus killed.
\v 21 The governor asked them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas."
\v 22 Pilate said to them, "What should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all answered, "Crucify him."
\s5
\v 23 And he said, "Why, what crime has he done?" But they cried out even louder, "Crucify him."
\v 24 So when Pilate saw that he could not do anything, but instead a riot was starting, he took water, washed his hands in front of the crowd, and said, "I am innocent of the blood of this innocent man. See to it yourselves."
\s5
\v 25 All the people said, "May his blood be on us and our children."
\v 26 Then he released Barabbas to them, but he scourged Jesus and handed him over to be crucified.
\s5
\p
\v 27 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers.
\v 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.
\v 29 Then they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and placed a staff in his right hand. They knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
\s5
\v 30 And they spat on him, and they took the staff and struck him on the head.
\v 31 When they had mocked him, they took the robe off him and put his own garments on him, and led him away to crucify him.
\s5
\p
\v 32 As they came out, they found a man from Cyrene named Simon, whom they forced to go with them so that he might carry his cross.
\v 33 They came to a place called Golgotha, which means, "The Place of a Skull."
\v 34 They gave him wine to drink mixed with gall. But when he tasted it, he would not drink.
\s5
\v 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his garments by casting lots.
\v 36 And they sat and watched him.
\v 37 Above his head they put the charge against him which read, "This is Jesus, the king of the Jews."
\s5
\v 38 Two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right of him and one on the left.
\v 39 Those who passed by insulted him, shaking their heads
\v 40 and saying, "You who were going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"
\s5
\v 41 In the same way the chief priests were mocking him, along with the scribes and elders, and said,
\v 42 "He saved others, but he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel. Let him come down off the cross, and then we will believe in him.
\s5
\v 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants to, because he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"
\v 44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also spoke the same insults to him.
\s5
\p
\v 45 Now from the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour.
\v 46 About the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice and said, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
\v 47 When some of those who were standing there heard it, they said, "He is calling for Elijah."
\s5
\v 48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a reed staff, and gave it to him to drink.
\v 49 The rest of them said, "Leave him alone. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save him."
\v 50 Then Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
\s5
\v 51 Behold, the curtain of the temple was split in two from the top to the bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks split apart.
\v 52 The tombs were opened, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised.
\v 53 They came out of the tombs after his resurrection, entered the holy city, and appeared to many.
\s5
\v 54 Now when the centurion and those that were watching Jesus saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they became very afraid and said, "Truly this was the Son of God."
\v 55 Many women who had followed Jesus from Galilee to care for him were there looking on from a distance.
\v 56 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
\s5
\p
\v 57 When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus.
\v 58 He approached Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be given to him.
\s5
\v 59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
\v 60 and laid it in his own new tomb that he had cut into the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb and went away.
\v 61 Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.
\s5
\p
\v 62 The next day, which was the day after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together with Pilate.
\v 63 They said, "Sir, we remember that when that deceiver was alive, he said, 'After three days will I rise again.'
\v 64 Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal him and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' And the last deception will be worse than the first."
\s5
\v 65 Pilate said to them, "Take a guard. Go and make it as secure as you can."
\v 66 So they went and made the tomb secure, sealing the stone and placing the guard.
\s5
\c 27

\v 1 Now when morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.

\v 1 Jesus went out from there and came into his home town, and his disciples followed him.
\v 2 When the Sabbath day came, he taught them in the synagogue. Many who heard him were shocked. They said, "Where did he get these teachings?" "What is this wisdom that God gave him?" "What are these miracles he does with his hands?"
\v 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?" And they took offense at Jesus.
\s5
\v 4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town and among his own relatives, and in his own household."
\v 5 He was not able to do any mighty deed there, except he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
\v 6 Their unbelief amazed him. He went around their villages teaching.
\s5
\p
\v 7 He called the Twelve to him and sent them out, two by two; he gave them authority over the unclean spirits,
\v 8 and he instructed them to take nothing for their journey but a staff. They should take no bread, no beggar's bag, and no money in their belts,
\v 9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
\s5
\v 10 He said, "Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.
\v 11 If any place will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave that place, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony against them."
\s5
\v 12 They went out and proclaimed that people should turn away from their sins.
\v 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil and healed many sick people.

\p
\v 14 King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist had been raised from the dead and on account of this, these miraculous powers are at work in him."
\v 15 Some others said, "He is Elijah." Still others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets in ancient times."
\s5
\v 16 But when Herod heard this he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
\v 17 For Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.
\s5
\v 18 For John told Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife."
\v 19 Herodias set herself against John and wanted to kill him. But she could not,
\v 20 for Herod feared John, and he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. So Herod tried to keep him safe. When he heard John preach, his message upset him, and yet he was still glad to hear him.
\s5
\v 21 But a day came that was an opportunity for Herodias to act: on his birthday Herod made a dinner for his officials, his commanders, and the leaders of Galilee.
\v 22 The daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced for them, and she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you."
\s5
\v 23 He swore to her saying, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
\v 24 She went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask him for?" She said, "The head of John the Baptist."
\v 25 She hurried back in the hall to the king and asked him, "I want you to give me at once, upon a platter, the head of John the Baptist."
\s5
\v 26 The king became very sorry, but because of his oaths, and for his guests, he could not refuse her request.
\v 27 So the king sent a soldier from his guard and commanded him to bring him John's head. The guard went and beheaded him in the prison.
\v 28 He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
\v 29 Hearing this, his disciples came and took his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
\s5
\p
\v 30 The apostles gathered together around Jesus, and they told him all that they had done and taught.
\v 31 He said to them, "Come away by yourselves into a deserted place and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they took no time apart for leisure, not even time to eat.
\v 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
\s5
\v 33 But many people saw them leave and they recognized them. They ran there together on foot from all the towns, and they arrived there before them.
\v 34 When he came ashore, Jesus saw a great crowd; he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.
\s5
\v 35 When the hour was late, his disciples came to him and said, "This a deserted place and the hour is already late.
\v 36 Dismiss them that they may go into the nearby countryside and into the villages and buy something to eat for themselves."
\s5
\v 37 But he answered and said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Can we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"
\v 38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five loaves and two fish."
\s5
\v 39 He commanded all the people to sit down in groups upon the green grass.
\v 40 They sat down in groups; groups of hundreds and fifties.
\v 41 As he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. The two fish he divided among them all.
\s5
\v 42 They all ate and until they were satisfied.
\v 43 They took up broken pieces of bread, twelve baskets full, and also pieces of the fish.
\v 44 Now there were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
\s5
\p
\v 45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself should send the crowd away.
\v 46 When they had gone, he then went up on the mountain to pray.
\v 47 Evening came, and the boat was now in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
\s5
\v 48 He saw that they were straining at the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the lake, and he wanted to pass by them,
\v 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost and they cried out,
\v 50 for they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke to them and said, "Be brave! It is I! Be not afraid."
\s5
\v 51 He got into the boat with them, and the wind ceased blowing; and they were completely amazed at him.
\v 52 For they did not understood about the loaves, but their minds were slow to understand.
\s5
\p
\v 53 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored the boat.
\v 54 When they came out of the boat, people immediately recognized it was Jesus.
\v 55 The people ran through the whole region and began to bring the sick on stretchers to him, wherever they heard he was coming.
\s5
\v 56 Wherever he entered into villages, or cities, or into the country, they would put the sick in the marketplaces, and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as touched it were healed.
\s5
\c 6
\p
\v 1 Jesus went out from there and came into his home town, and his disciples followed him.
\v 2 When the Sabbath day came, he taught them in the synagogue. Many who heard him were shocked. They said, "Where did he get these teachings?" "What is this wisdom that God gave him?" "What are these miracles he does with his hands?"
\v 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are his sisters not here with us?" And they took offense at Jesus.
\s5
\v 4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his home town and among his own relatives, and in his own household."
\v 5 He was not able to do any mighty deed there, except he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
\v 6 Their unbelief amazed him. He went around their villages teaching.
\s5
\p
\v 7 He called the Twelve to him and sent them out, two by two; he gave them authority over the unclean spirits,
\v 8 and he instructed them to take nothing for their journey but a staff. They should take no bread, no beggar's bag, and no money in their belts,
\v 9 but to wear sandals, and not to wear two tunics.
\s5
\v 10 He said, "Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave.
\v 11 If any place will not receive you or listen to you, when you leave that place, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony against them."
\s5
\v 12 They went out and proclaimed that people should turn away from their sins.
\v 13 They cast out many demons, and anointed with oil and healed many sick people.
\s5
\p
\v 14 King Herod heard this, for Jesus' name had become well known. Some were saying, "John the Baptist had been raised from the dead and on account of this, these miraculous powers are at work in him."
\v 15 Some others said, "He is Elijah." Still others said, "He is a prophet, like one of the prophets in ancient times."
\s5
\v 16 But when Herod heard this he said, "John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
\v 17 For Herod himself had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because Herod had married her.
\s5
\v 18 For John told Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
\v 19 Herodias set herself against John and wanted to kill him. But she could not,
\v 20 for Herod feared John, and he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. So Herod tried to keep him safe. When he heard John preach, his message upset him, and yet he was still glad to hear him.
\s5
\v 21 But a day came that was an opportunity for Herodias to act: on his birthday Herod made a dinner for his officials, his commanders, and the leaders of Galilee.
\v 22 The daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced for them, and she pleased Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl, "Ask me for anything you want and I will give it to you."
\s5
\v 23 He swore to her saying, "Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
\v 24 She went out and said to her mother, "What should I ask him for?" She said, "The head of John the Baptist."
\v 25 She hurried back in the hall to the king and asked him, "I want you to give me at once, upon a platter, the head of John the Baptist."
\s5
\v 26 The king became very sorry, but because of his oaths, and for his guests, he could not refuse her request.
\v 27 So the king sent a soldier from his guard and commanded him to bring him John's head. The guard went and beheaded him in the prison.
\v 28 He brought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
\v 29 Hearing this, his disciples came and took his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
\s5
\p
\v 30 The apostles gathered together around Jesus, and they told him all that they had done and taught.
\v 31 He said to them, "Come away by yourselves into a deserted place and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they took no time apart for leisure, not even time to eat.

\v 1 Many have tried to set in order a narrative about those matters that have been fulfilled among us,
\v 2 just as they handed them to us, who from the beginning have been eyewitnesses and servants of the message.
\v 3 So to me also, having accurately investigated the course of all these things from the start—it seemed good to me to write them down in their order—most excellent Theophilus.
\v 4 This is so that you might know the truth about the things that you were taught.
\b
\s5
\p
\v 5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a certain priest named Zechariah, from the division of Abijah. His wife was from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.
\v 6 They were both righteous before God; they walked blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord.
\v 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both very old by this time.
\s5
\p
\v 8 Now it came about that Zechariah was in God’s presence, carrying out the priestly duties in the order of his division.
\v 9 According to the customary way of choosing which priest would serve, he had been chosen by lot to enter into the temple of the Lord and so he might burn incense.
\v 10 The whole crowd of people was praying outside at the hour when the incense was burned.
\s5
\v 11 Now an angel of the Lord appeared to him and stood at the right side of incense altar.
\v 12 Zechariah was terrified when he saw him; fear fell on him.
\v 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You will call his name John.
\s5
\v 14 You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.
\v 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He will drink no wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.
\s5
\v 16 And many of the people of Israel will be turned to the Lord their God.
\v 17 He will go before the face of the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah. He will do this to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, so that the disobedient will walk in the wisdom of the just. He will do this to make ready for the Lord a people who have been prepared for him.”
\s5
\p
\v 18 Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I know this? For I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.”
\v 19 The angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. I was sent to speak to you, to bring you this good news.
\v 20 And behold, you will be silent, unable to speak, until the day that these things come about. This is because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled at the right time.”
\s5
\v 21 Now the people were waiting for Zechariah. They were surprised that he was spending so much time in the temple.
\v 22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized that he had had a vision while he was in the temple. He kept on making signs to them and remained silent.
\v 23 It came about that when the days of his service were over, he left to return to his house.
\s5
\p
\v 24 After these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived. She secluded herself for five months. She said,
\v 25 “This is what the Lord has done for me when he looked at me with favor in order to take away my shame before people.”
\s5
\p
\v 26 Now in her sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth,
\v 27 to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph. He belonged to the house of David, and the virgin's name was Mary.
\v 28 He came to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.
\v 29 But she was very confused by his words and she wondered what kind of greeting this could be.
\s5
\v 30 The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
\v 31 And see, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son. You will call his name ‘Jesus.’
\v 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.
\v 33 He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.”
\s5
\v 34 Mary said to the angel, “How will this happen, since I have not slept with any man?”
\v 35 The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will come over you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
\s5
\v 36 And see, your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age. This is the sixth month for her, she who was called barren.
\v 37 For nothing will be impossible for God.”
\v 38 Mary said, “See, I am the female servant of the Lord. Let it be for me according to your message.” Then the angel left her.
\s5
\p
\v 39 Then Mary arose in those days and quickly went into the hill country, to a city in Judea.
\v 40 She went into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
\v 41 Now it happened that when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby in her womb jumped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
\s5
\v 42 She raised her voice and said loudly, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
\v 43 And why has it happened to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
\v 44 For see, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.
\v 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of the things that were told her from the Lord.”
\s5
\v 46 Mary said,
\q “My soul praises the Lord,
\q
\v 47 and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
\s5
\q
\v 48 For he has looked at the low condition of his female servant.
\q For see, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
\q
\v 49 For he who is mighty has done great things for me,
\q and his name is holy.
\s5
\q
\v 50 His mercy lasts from generation to generation for those who honor him.
\q
\v 51 He has displayed strength with his arm;
\q he hath scattered those who were proud about the thoughts of their hearts.
\s5
\q
\v 52 He has thrown down princes from their thrones.
\q and he has raised up those of low condition.
\q
\v 53 He has filled the hungry with good things,
\q but the rich he has sent away empty.
\s5
\q
\v 54 He has given help to Israel his servant,
\q so as to remember to show mercy
\q
\v 55 (as he said to our fathers) to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
\s5
\p
\v 56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth about three months and then returned to her house.
\p
\v 57 Now the time had come for Elizabeth to deliver her baby and she gave birth to a son.
\v 58 Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had multiplied his mercy for her, and they rejoiced with her.
\s5
\p
\v 59 Now it happened on the eighth day that they came to circumcise the child. They would have called him “Zechariah,” after the name of his father,
\v 60 but his mother answered and said, “No; he will be called John.”
\v 61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
\s5
\v 62 They made signs to his father as to how he wanted him to be named.
\v 63 His father asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, “His name is John.” They all were astonished at this.
\s5
\v 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue was freed. He spoke and praised God.
\v 65 Fear came on all who lived around them. All these matters were spread throughout all the hill country of Judea.
\v 66 And all who heard them stored them in their hearts, saying, “What then will this child become?” For the hand of the Lord was with him.
\s5
\p
\v 67 His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,
\q
\v 68 “Praised be the Lord, the God of Israel,
\q for he has helped and worked redemption for his people.
\s5
\q
\v 69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,
\q from among the descendants of his servant David,
\q
\v 70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who were in ancient times.
\q
\v 71 He will bring salvation from our enemies
\q and from the hand of all who hate us.
\s5
\q
\v 72 He will do this to show mercy to our fathers
\q and to remember his holy covenant,
\q
\v 73 the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
\q
\v 74 He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
\q would serve him without fear,
\q
\v 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
\s5
\q
\v 76 Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
\q for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths,
\q to prepare people for his coming,
\q
\v 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
\q by the forgiveness of their sins.
\s5
\q
\v 78 This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God,
\q because of which the sunrise from on high will come to us,
\q
\v 79 to shine on them who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.
\q He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
\s5
\p
\v 80 Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his appearance to Israel.

\q and to remember his holy covenant,
\q
\v 73 the oath that he spoke to Abraham our father.
\q
\v 74 He swore to grant to us that we, having been delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
\q would serve him without fear,
\q
\v 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
\s5
\q
\v 76 Yes, and you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
\q for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his paths,
\q to prepare people for his coming,
\q
\v 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
\q by the forgiveness of their sins.
\s5
\q
\v 78 This will happen because of the tender mercy of our God,
\q because of which the sunrise from on high will come to us,
\q
\v 79 to shine on them who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.
\q He will do this to guide our feet into the path of peace."
\s5
\p
\v 80 Now the child grew and became strong in spirit, and he was in the wilderness until the day of his appearance to Israel.

\p
\v 1 Now in those days, it came about that Caesar Augustus sent out a decree ordering that a census be taken of all the people living in the Roman world.
\v 2 This was the first census made while Quirinius was governor of Syria.
\v 3 So everyone went to his own town to be registered for the census.
\s5
\v 4 Joseph also departed from the city of Nazareth in Galilee and traveled to the Judean town of Bethlehem, which is known as the city of David, because he was a descendant from the family of David.
\v 5 He went there to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him and was expecting a child.
\s5
\v 6 Now it came about that while they were there, the time came for her to deliver her baby.
\v 7 She gave birth to a son, her firstborn child, and she wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth. Then she put him in an animal feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn.
\s5
\p
\v 8 In that same region, there were shepherds who were living out in the fields and were keeping watch over their flocks of sheep at night.
\v 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining all around them, and they were very afraid.
\s5
\v 10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, because I am about to announce to you good news that will bring great joy to all the people.
\v 11 Today a savior was born for you in the city of David! He is Christ the Lord!
\v 12 This is the sign that will be given to you, you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough."
\s5
\v 13 Suddenly with the angel there was a large number of the heavenly army praising God, and saying,
\q1 \v 14 "Glory to God in the highest,
\q1 and may there be peace on earth among people
\q1 with whom he is pleased."
\s5
\p
\v 15 It came about that when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to each other, "Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us."
\v 16 They hurried there and found Mary and Joseph, and saw the baby lying in the feeding trough.
\s5
\v 17 After they had seen this, they made known to people what had been said to them about this child.
\v 18 All who heard it were amazed at what was spoken to them by the shepherds.
\v 19 But Mary kept thinking about all the things she had heard, treasuring them in her heart.
\v 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for everything that they had heard and seen, just as it had been spoken to them.
\s5
\p
\v 21 When it was the eighth day and it was time to circumcise the baby, they named him Jesus, the name he had been given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
\s5
\p
\v 22 When the required number of days for their purification had passed, according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought their infant son up to the temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.
\v 23 As it is written in the law of the Lord, "Every male that opens the womb will be called holy to the Lord."
\v 24 They also came to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, "a pair of doves or two young pigeons."
\s5
\v 25 Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the comforter of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
\v 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
\s5
\v 27 One day he came into the temple, led by the Holy Spirit. When the parents brought in the child, Jesus, to do for him what the custom of the law required,
\v 28 then Simeon received him into his arms, and praised God and said,
\q1 \v 29 "Now let your servant depart in peace, Lord, according to your word.
\s5
\q1 \v 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
\q1 \v 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples.
\q1 \v 32 He is light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory of your people Israel."
\s5
\p
\v 33 The child's father and mother were amazed at the things which were spoken concerning him.
\v 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Listen carefully! This child is destined for the falling and rising of many people in Israel and for a sign which is spoken against.
\v 35 Also, a sword will pierce your own soul, so that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed."
\s5
\v 36 A prophetess named Anna was also there. She was the daughter of Phanuel from the tribe of Asher. She was very advanced in years. She had lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage,
\v 37 and then was a widow for eighty-four years. She never left the temple and was continually worshiping God with fasting and prayers, night and day.
\v 38 At that very moment, she came up to them and began thanking God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
\s5
\v 39 When they had finished everything they were required to do according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth.
\p
\v 40 The child grew and became strong, increasing in wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.
\s5
\p
\v 41 His parents went every year to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover.
\v 42 When he was twelve years old, they again went up at the customary time for the feast.
\v 43 After they had stayed the full number of days for the feast, they began to return home. But the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem and his parents did not know it.
\v 44 They assumed that he was with the group that was traveling with them, so they traveled a day's journey. Then they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
\s5
\v 45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem and started looking for him there.
\v 46 It came about that after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
\v 47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
\s5
\v 48 When they saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Listen, your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."
\v 49 He said to them, "Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?"
\v 50 But they did not understand what he meant by those words.
\s5
\v 51 Then he went back home with them to Nazareth and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
\p
\v 52 But Jesus continued to grow in wisdom and stature, and increased in favor with God and people.

\p
\v 1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, while Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene,
\v 2 and during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.
\s5
\v 3 He traveled throughout the region around the Jordan River, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
\s5
\v 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
\q1 "The voice of someone calling out in the wilderness,
\q1 'Make ready the way of the Lord,
\q1 make his paths straight.
\s5
\q1 \v 5 Every valley will be filled,
\q1 every mountain and hill will be made level,
\q1 the crooked roads will become straight,
\q1 And the rough ways will be made smooth.
\q1
\v 6 All people will see the salvation of God.'"
\s5
\p
\v 7 So John said therefore to the large crowds of people who were coming out to be baptized by him, "You offspring of poisonous snakes, who warned you to flee from the wrath that is coming?
\s5
\v 8 Produce fruits that are worthy of repentance, and do not start saying within yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' because I tell you that God is able to raise up children for Abraham even out of these stones.
\s5
\v 9 Already the ax has been placed against the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire."
\s5
\v 10 Then the people in the crowds asked him, saying, "What then must we do?"
\v 11 He answered and said to them, "If someone has two tunics, he should give one of them to someone who does not have any and whoever has food should do likewise."
\s5
\v 12 Then some tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what must we do?"
\v 13 He said to them, "Do not collect more money than you are supposed to."
\s5
\v 14 Some soldiers also asked him, saying, "And what about us? What must we do?" He said to them, "Do not take money from anyone by force, and do not accuse anyone falsely. Be content with your wages."
\s5
\p
\v 15 Now as the people were eagerly expecting the Christ to come, everyone was wondering in their hearts concerning John whether he might be the Christ.
\v 16 John answered by saying to them all, "As for me, I baptize you with water, but someone is coming who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
\s5
\v 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to thoroughly clear off his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his storehouse. But he will burn up the chaff with fire that can never be put out."
\s5
\p
\v 18 With many other exhortations also, he preached good news to the people.
\v 19 John also rebuked Herod the tetrarch for marrying his brother’s wife, Herodias, and for all the other evil things that Herod had done.
\v 20 But then Herod did another very evil thing. He had John locked up in prison.
\s5
\p
\v 21 Now it came about, while all the people were being baptized by John, that Jesus also was baptized. While he was praying, the heavens opened up.
\v 22 The Holy Spirit came down on him in bodily form like a dove, while a voice came out of heaven, "You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you."
\s5
\p
\v 23 Now Jesus himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age. He was the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,
\v 24 the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

\v 1 Then Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
\v 2 for forty days and was tempted there by the devil. During those days, he did not eat anything, and at the end of that time he was hungry.
\s5
\v 3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
\v 4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'"
\s5
\v 5 Then the devil led him up to a high place, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
\v 6 The devil said to him, "I will give to you the authority to rule all of these kingdoms, along with all their splendor. I can do this because they have been given to me to rule over, and I can give them to anyone I want to.
\v 7 Therefore if you will bow down before me and worship me, all of this will be yours."
\s5
\v 8 But Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God, and you must serve him only.'"
\s5
\v 9 Next the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.
\v 10 For it is written,
\q1 'He will command his angels to take care of you, to protect you.'
\v 11 and,
\q1 'They will lift you up in their hands,
\q1 so that you will not hit your foot against a stone.'"
\s5
\p
\v 12 Jesus answering said to him, "It is said, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'"
\p
\v 13 When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.
\s5
\p
\v 14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire surrounding region.
\v 15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
\s5
\p
\v 16 One day he came to Nazareth, the city where he had been brought up. As was his custom, he entered the synagogue there on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read the scriptures.
\v 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, so he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
\s5
\q1 \v 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
\q1 Because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
\q1 He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives,
\q1 And recovery of sight to the blind,
\q1 To set free those who are oppressed,
\q1 \v 19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord."
\s5
\p
\v 20 Then he closed the scroll, gave it back to the synagogue attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all the people in the synagogue were fixed on him.
\v 21 He began to speak to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
\v 22 Everyone there witnessed what he said and all of them were amazed at the gracious words which were coming out of his mouth. They were saying, "This is only Joseph’s son, is it not?"
\s5
\v 23 Jesus said to them, "Certainly you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do it here in your hometown too.'"
\v 24 He also said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country.
\s5
\v 25 But I say to you in truth that there were many widows in Israel during Elijah's time, when the sky was shut up with no rain for three and a half years, when there was a great famine over all the land.
\v 26 But Elijah was not sent to any of them, but only to a widow living in Zarephath near the city of Sidon.
\v 27 There were also many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet, but none of them were healed except Naaman the Syrian."
\s5
\v 28 All the people in the synagogue were filled with rage when they heard these things.
\v 29 They got up and forced him out of the city, and led him to the edge of the hill on which their city was built, so that they might throw him over the cliff.
\v 30 But he walked right through the midst of them and went on his way.
\s5
\p
\v 31 Then he went down to Capernaum, a city in Galilee. One Sabbath he was teaching the people in the synagogue.
\v 32 They were astonished at his teaching, because he spoke with authority.
\s5
\v 33 Now in the synagogue that day there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,
\v 34 "What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are! You are the Holy One of God!"
\s5
\v 35 Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him without causing him any harm.
\v 36 All the people were very amazed, and they kept talking about it with one with another. They said, "What kind of words are these? He commands the unclean spirits with authority and power and they come out."
\v 37 So news about him began to spread into every part of the surrounding region.
\s5
\p
\v 38 Then Jesus left the synagogue and entered into the house of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering with a high fever, and they pleaded with him on her behalf.
\v 39 So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. Immediately she got up and started serving them.
\s5
\p
\v 40 When the sun was setting, people brought to Jesus everyone who was sick with various kinds of diseases. He laid his hands on every one of them and healed them.
\v 41 Demons also came out from many of them, crying out and saying, "You are the Son of God!" Jesus rebuked the demons and would not let them speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.
\s5
\p
\v 42 When daybreak came, he went out into a solitary place. Crowds of people were looking for him and came to the place where he was. They tried to keep him from going away from them.
\v 43 But he said to them, "I must also preach the good news about the kingdom of God to many other cities, because this is the reason I was sent here."
\p
\v 44 Then he continued to preach in the synagogues throughout the province of Judea.
\s5
\c 4
\p
\v 1 Then Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
\v 2 for forty days and was tempted there by the devil. During those days, he did not eat anything, and at the end of that time he was hungry.
\s5
\v 3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
\v 4 Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'"
\s5
\v 5 Then the devil led him up to a high place, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
\v 6 The devil said to him, "I will give to you the authority to rule all of these kingdoms, along with all their splendor. I can do this because they have been given to me to rule over, and I can give them to anyone I want to.
\v 7 Therefore if you will bow down before me and worship me, all of this will be yours."
\s5
\v 8 But Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God, and you must serve him only.'"
\s5
\v 9 Next the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.
\v 10 For it is written,
\q1 'He will command his angels to take care of you, to protect you.'
\v 11 and,
\q1 'They will lift you up in their hands,
\q1 so that you will not hit your foot against a stone.'"
\s5
\p
\v 12 Jesus answering said to him, "It is said, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'"
\p
\v 13 When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.
\s5
\p
\v 14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire surrounding region.
\v 15 He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
\s5
\p
\v 16 One day he came to Nazareth, the city where he had been brought up. As was his custom, he entered the synagogue there on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read the scriptures.
\v 17 The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, so he opened the scroll and found the place where it was written,
\s5
\q1 \v 18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
\q1 Because he anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
\q1 He has sent me to proclaim freedom to the captives,
\q1 And recovery of sight to the blind,
\q1 To set free those who are oppressed,
\q1 \v 19 To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord."
\s5
\p
\v 20 Then he closed the scroll, gave it back to the synagogue attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all the people in the synagogue were fixed on him.
\v 21 He began to speak to them, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."

\p
\v 1 Now it happened, while the people were crowding around Jesus and listening to the word of God, that he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
\v 2 He saw two boats pulled up by the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.
\v 3 Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put it out in the water a short distance from the land. Then he sat down and taught the people out of the boat.
\s5
\v 4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Take the boat out into the deeper water and let down your nets for a catch."
\v 5 Simon answered and said, "Master, we worked all night, and caught nothing, but at your word, I will let down the nets."
\v 6 When they had done this, they gathered a very large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.
\v 7 So they motioned to their partners in the other boat that they should come and help them. They came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.
\s5
\v 8 But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, Lord."
\v 9 For he was amazed, and all who were with him, at the catch of fish which they had taken.
\v 10 This included James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid, because from now on you will catch men."
\v 11 When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
\s5
\p
\v 12 It came about that while he was in one of the cities, a man full of leprosy was there. When he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and begged him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
\v 13 Then Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him.
\s5
\v 14 He instructed him to tell no one, but told him, "Go on your way, and show yourself to the priest and offer a sacrifice for your cleansing, according to what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
\s5
\v 15 But the report about him spread even farther, and large crowds of people came together to hear him teach and to be healed of their sicknesses.
\v 16 But he often withdrew into the deserted places and prayed.
\s5
\p
\v 17 It came about on one of those days that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there who had come from many different villages in the regions of Galilee and Judea, and also from the city of Jerusalem. The power of the Lord was with him to heal.
\s5
\v 18 Now some men came, carrying on a mat a man that was paralyzed, and they looked for a way to bring him inside in order to lay him down in front of Jesus.
\v 19 They could not find a way to bring him in because of the crowd, so they went up to the housetop and let the man down through the tiles, on his mat, into the midst of the people, right in front of Jesus.
\s5
\v 20 Seeing their faith, Jesus said, "Man, your sins are forgiven you."
\v 21 The scribes and the Pharisees began to question this, saying, "Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
\s5
\v 22 But Jesus, perceiving what they were thinking, answered and said to them, "Why are you questioning this in your hearts?
\v 23 Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you' or to say 'Get up and walk?'
\v 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, I say to you, 'Get up, pick up your mat, and go to your house.'"
\s5
\v 25 Immediately he got up in front of them and picked up the mat he was lying on; then he went back to his house, glorifying God.
\v 26 Everyone was amazed and they glorified God. They were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen extraordinary things today."
\s5
\p
\v 27 After these things happened, Jesus went out from there and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax collecting place. He said to him, "Follow me."
\v 28 So Levi left everything, got up, and followed him.
\s5
\p
\v 29 Then Levi prepared a big banquet for Jesus in his house, and there were many tax collectors there, and other people who were reclining at the table and eating with them.
\v 30 But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and other sinful people?"
\v 31 Jesus answered them, "People who are in good health do not need a physician, only people who are sick need one.
\v 32 I did not come to call righteous people to repentance, but to call sinners to repentance."
\s5
\p
\v 33 They said to him, "The disciples of John often fast and pray, and the disciples of the Pharisees do the same. But your disciples eat and drink."
\v 34 Jesus said to them, "Can anyone make the wedding attendants of the bridegroom fast, while the bridegroom is still with them?
\v 35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then in those days they will fast."
\s5
\v 36 Then Jesus also spoke a parable to them. "No man tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and uses it to mend an old garment. If he did that, he would tear the new garment, and the piece of cloth from the new garment would not fit with the cloth of the old garment.
\s5
\v 37 Also, no man puts new wine into old wineskins. If he did that, the new wine would burst the skins, and the wine would be spilled, and the wineskins would be destroyed.
\v 38 But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
\v 39 No man, after drinking old wine, desires new wine, because he says, 'The old is better.'"

\v 1 Now it happened on a Sabbath that Jesus was going through the grain fields and his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them between their hands, and eating the grain.
\v 2 But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing something that is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?"
\s5
\v 3 Jesus, answering them, said, "Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and the men who were with him?
\v 4 He went into the house of God, and took the bread of the presence and ate some of it, and also gave some to the men who were with him to eat, even though it was only lawful for the priests to eat it."
\v 5 Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."
\s5
\p
\v 6 It happened on another Sabbath that he went into the synagogue and taught the people there. A man was there whose right hand was shriveled.
\v 7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see whether he would heal someone on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him of doing something wrong.
\v 8 But he knew what they were thinking and he said to the man whose hand was shriveled, "Get up, and stand here in the middle of everyone." So the man got up and stood there.
\s5
\v 9 Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to destroy it?"
\v 10 Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was restored.
\v 11 But they were filled with anger, and they talked to each other about what they might do to Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 12 It happened in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.
\v 13 When it was day, he called his disciples to him, and he chose twelve of them, whom he also named "apostles."
\s5
\v 14 The names of the apostles were Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
\v 15 Matthew, Thomas, James, the son of Alphaeus, Simon, who was called the Zealot,
\v 16 Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
\s5
\v 17 Then Jesus came down the mountain with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there, as well as a large number of the people from Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
\v 18 They had come to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. People who were troubled with unclean spirits were also healed.
\v 19 Everyone in the crowd kept trying to touch him because power to heal was coming out from him, and he healed them all.
\s5
\p
\v 20 Then he looked at his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
\v 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
\s5
\v 22 Blessed are you when people hate you and when they separate you from their company, they hate you, and they reject your name as being evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
\v 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because you will surely have a great reward in heaven, for their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
\s5
\v 24 But woe to you who are rich! For you have already received your comfort.
\v 25 Woe to you who are full now! For you will be hungry later. Woe to you who laugh now! For you will mourn and weep later.
\s5
\v 26 Woe to you, when all men speak well of you! For their ancestors treated the false prophets in the same way.
\s5
\p
\v 27 But I say to you who are listening, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
\v 28 Bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you.
\s5
\v 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer him also the other. If someone takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.
\v 30 Give to everyone who asks you. If someone takes away something that belongs to you, do not ask him to give it back to you.
\s5
\v 31 As you want people to do to you, you should do the same to them.
\v 32 If you only love people who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
\v 33 If you do good only to people who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
\v 34 If you only lend things to people who you expect will give them back to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, and expect to receive the same amount back again.
\s5
\v 35 But love your enemies and do them good. Lend to them, never worrying about getting anything back, and your reward will be great. You will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind toward unthankful and evil people.
\v 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
\s5
\v 37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
\s5
\v 38 Give to others, and it will be given to you. A generous amount—pressed down, shaken together and spilling over—they will pour into your lap. For with whatever standard of measure you use to measure with, that same standard will be used to measure for you."
\s5
\p
\v 39 Then he also told them a parable. "Can a blind person guide another blind person? If he did, they would both fall into a pit, would they not?
\v 40 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when he is completely trained will be like his teacher.
\s5
\v 41 And why do you look at the tiny piece of straw that is in your brother’s eye, but you do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
\v 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the piece of straw that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not even see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the piece of straw that is in your brother’s eye.
\s5
\v 43 For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor is there a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
\v 44 For each tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. For people do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.
\s5
\v 45 The good man from the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man from the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil. For from the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.
\s5
\p
\v 46 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and yet you do not obey the things that I say?
\v 47 Every person who comes to me and hears my words and obeys them, I will tell you what he is like.
\v 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep in the ground and built the house's foundation on solid rock. When a flood came, the torrent of water flowed against that house, but could not shake it, because it had been well built.
\s5
\v 49 But the person who hears my words and does not obey them, he is like a man who built a house on top of the ground without a foundation. When the torrent of water flowed against that house, it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was complete.

\v 7 The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him closely to see whether he would heal someone on the Sabbath, so that they might find a reason to accuse him of doing something wrong.
\v 8 But he knew what they were thinking and he said to the man whose hand was shriveled, "Get up, and stand here in the middle of everyone." So the man got up and stood there.
\s5
\v 9 Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to destroy it?"
\v 10 Then he looked around at them all and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was restored.
\v 11 But they were filled with anger, and they talked to each other about what they might do to Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 12 It happened in those days that he went out to the mountain to pray. He continued all night in prayer to God.
\v 13 When it was day, he called his disciples to him, and he chose twelve of them, whom he also named "apostles."
\s5
\v 14 The names of the apostles were Simon (whom he also named Peter) and his brother, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
\v 15 Matthew, Thomas, James, the son of Alphaeus, Simon, who was called the Zealot,
\v 16 Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
\s5
\v 17 Then Jesus came down the mountain with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there, as well as a large number of the people from Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
\v 18 They had come to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. People who were troubled with unclean spirits were also healed.
\v 19 Everyone in the crowd kept trying to touch him because power to heal was coming out from him, and he healed them all.
\s5
\p
\v 20 Then he looked at his disciples, and said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
\v 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
\s5
\v 22 Blessed are you when people hate you and when they separate you from their company, they hate you, and they reject your name as being evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
\v 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because you will surely have a great reward in heaven, for their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.
\s5
\v 24 But woe to you who are rich! For you have already received your comfort.
\v 25 Woe to you who are full now! For you will be hungry later. Woe to you who laugh now! For you will mourn and weep later.
\s5
\v 26 Woe to you, when all men speak well of you! For their ancestors treated the false prophets in the same way.
\s5
\p
\v 27 But I say to you who are listening, love your enemies and do good to those who hate you.
\v 28 Bless those who curse you and pray for those who mistreat you.
\s5
\v 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer him also the other. If someone takes away your coat, do not withhold your tunic either.
\v 30 Give to everyone who asks you. If someone takes away something that belongs to you, do not ask him to give it back to you.
\s5
\v 31 As you want people to do to you, you should do the same to them.
\v 32 If you only love people who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
\v 33 If you do good only to people who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
\v 34 If you only lend things to people who you expect will give them back to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, and expect to receive the same amount back again.
\s5
\v 35 But love your enemies and do them good. Lend to them, never worrying about getting anything back, and your reward will be great. You will be sons of the Most High, for he himself is kind toward unthankful and evil people.
\v 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
\s5
\v 37 Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.
\s5
\v 38 Give to others, and it will be given to you. A generous amount—pressed down, shaken together and spilling over—they will pour into your lap. For with whatever standard of measure you use to measure with, that same standard will be used to measure for you."
\s5
\p
\v 39 Then he also told them a parable. "Can a blind person guide another blind person? If he did, they would both fall into a pit, would they not?
\v 40 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, but everyone when he is completely trained will be like his teacher.
\s5
\v 41 And why do you look at the tiny piece of straw that is in your brother's eye, but you do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
\v 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the piece of straw that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not even see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the piece of straw that is in your brother's eye.
\s5
\v 43 For there is no good tree that produces rotten fruit, nor is there a rotten tree that produces good fruit.
\v 44 For each tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. For people do not gather figs from a thornbush, nor do they gather grapes from a briar bush.
\s5
\v 45 The good man from the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man from the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil. For from the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.
\s5
\p
\v 46 Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and yet you do not obey the things that I say?
\v 47 Every person who comes to me and hears my words and obeys them, I will tell you what he is like.
\v 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep in the ground and built the house's foundation on solid rock. When a flood came, the torrent of water flowed against that house, but could not shake it, because it had been well built.
\s5
\v 49 But the person who hears my words and does not obey them, he is like a man who built a house on top of the ground without a foundation. When the torrent of water flowed against that house, it immediately collapsed, and the ruin of that house was complete.

\v 1 After Jesus had finished everything he was saying in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum.
\s5
\p
\v 2 A certain centurion's slave, who was precious to him, was very sick and was about to die.
\v 3 But having heard about Jesus, the centurion sent to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and save his slave from dying.
\v 4 When they had come near to Jesus, they asked him earnestly, saying, "He is worthy that you should do this for him,
\v 5 because he loves our nation, and he is the one who built the synagogue for us."
\s5
\v 6 So Jesus continued on his way with them. But when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, because I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
\v 7 For this reason I did not even consider myself to be worthy enough to come to you, but just say a word and my servant will be healed.
\v 8 For I also am a man who is placed under authority and I have soldiers under me. I say to this one, 'Go,' and he goes, and to another one, 'Come,' and he comes, and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it."
\s5
\v 9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him said, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I found anyone with so much faith."
\v 10 Then those who were sent returned to the house and found the servant healthy.
\s5
\p
\v 11 Some time after that, it happened that Jesus was traveling to a city called Nain. His disciples were going with him, along with a large crowd of people.
\v 12 As he came near to the city gate, behold, a dead man was being carried out, an only son to his mother. She was a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the city was with her.
\v 13 Seeing her, the Lord was deeply moved with compassion for her and said to her, "Do not cry."
\v 14 Then he came forward and touched the wooden frame on which they carried the body, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise."
\v 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak. Then Jesus gave him to his mother.
\s5
\v 16 Then fear overcame all of them. They kept praising God, saying, "A great prophet has been raised among us" and "God has looked upon his people."
\v 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout the whole of Judea and all the neighboring regions.
\s5
\p
\v 18 John's disciples told him about all these things.
\v 19 Then John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to say, "Are you the Coming One, or is there another person we should be looking for?"
\v 20 When they had come near to Jesus, the men said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you to say, 'Are you the Coming One, or is there another person we should be looking for?'"
\s5
\v 21 In that hour he cured many people from sicknesses and afflictions and from evil spirits, and to many blind people he gave sight. .
\v 22 Jesus answered and said to them, "After you have gone on your way, report to John what you have seen and heard. Blind people are receiving sight, lame people are walking, lepers are being cleansed, deaf people are hearing, dead people are being raised back to life, and needy people are being told the good news.
\v 23 The person who does not stop believing in me because of my actions is blessed."
\s5
\p
\v 24 After John's messengers had gone away, Jesus began to say to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the desert to see, a reed being shaken by the wind?
\v 25 But what did you go out to see, a man dressed in soft clothes? See, people who dress in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings' palaces.
\v 26 But what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.
\s5
\v 27 This is he of whom it is written,
\q 'See, I am sending my messenger before your face,
\q Who will prepare your way before you.'
\m
\v 28 I say to you, among those born of women, no one is greater than John, yet the least important person in the kingdom of God is greater than he is."
\s5
\v 29 When all the people heard this, including the tax collectors, they declared that God is righteous. They were among those who had been baptized with the baptism of John.
\v 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in Jewish law, who were not baptized by him, rejected God's wisdom for themselves.
\s5
\v 31 "To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
\v 32 They are like children playing in the marketplace, who sit and call to one another and say, 'We played a flute for you, and you did not dance. We mourned, and you did not weep.'
\s5
\v 33 For John the Baptist came not eating bread and not drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon.'
\v 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking and you say, 'Look, he is a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
\v 35 But wisdom is justified by all of her children."
\s5
\p
\v 36 Now a certain Pharisee was requesting that Jesus eat with him. So after Jesus entered into the Pharisee’s house, he reclined at the table to eat.
\v 37 Behold, there was a certain woman in the city who was a sinner. She found out that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, and she brought an alabaster flask of perfume.
\v 38 She stood behind him near his feet and wept. Then she began to wet his feet with her tears, and was wiping them with the hairs of her head, kissing his feet, and anointing them with perfume.
\s5
\v 39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he thought to himself, saying, "If this man were a prophet, then he would know who and what type of woman is touching him that she is a sinner."
\v 40 Jesus responded and said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." He said, "Say it, Teacher!"
\s5
\v 41 Jesus said, "There were two debtors to a certain lender. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other owed fifty denarii.
\v 42 Since they had no money to pay, he forgave them both. Therefore, which of them will love him more?"
\v 43 Simon answered him and said, "I suppose the one whom he forgave the most." Jesus said to him, "You have judged correctly."
\s5
\v 44 Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, "You see this woman. I have entered into your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she, with her tears, has wet my feet and wiped them with her hair.
\v 45 You did not give me a kiss, but she, from when I first came in, did not stop kissing my feet.
\s5
\v 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
\v 47 On account of this, I say to you that she who had many sins and has been forgiven much, has also loved much. But he who is forgiven only a little, loves only a little."
\s5
\v 48 Then he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
\v 49 Those reclining together began to say among themselves, "Who is this that even forgives sins?"
\v 50 Then Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

\p
\v 1 It happened soon afterwards that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the twelve went with him,
\v 2 as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases. They were Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out,
\v 3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s manager, Susanna, and many other women, who provided for them from their own material resources.
\s5
\p
\v 4 Now, when a large crowd of people had gathered together, including people who were coming to him from many different cities, he spoke to them using a parable.
\v 5 "A sower went out to sow some seeds. As he sowed, some of the seeds fell beside the road and they were trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured them.
\v 6 Other seeds fell on rocky soil and as soon as they grew into plants, they withered away, because they had no moisture.
\s5
\v 7 Still other seeds fell among thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up together with the seeds and choked them.
\v 8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater." After Jesus had said these things, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
\s5
\p
\v 9 Then his disciples asked him what this parable might mean.
\v 10 Jesus said to them, "You have been given the privilege of understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but the rest of the people will only be taught with parables, so that 'seeing they will not really see, and hearing they will not really understand.'
\s5
\v 11 Now this is what the parable means. The seed is the word of God.
\v 12 The seeds that fell beside the road are people who have heard the word, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
\v 13 Then, the ones that fell on the rocky ground are people who, when they have heard the word, receive it with joy, but they do not have any roots; they only believe for a while, and then during a time of testing they fall away.
\s5
\v 14 The seeds that fell among the thorn plants are people who have heard the word, but as they go on their way, they become choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they bring no fruit to maturity.
\v 15 But the seeds that fell on the good ground, these are people who, with an honest and good heart, after they have heard the word, hold onto it securely and produce fruit with perseverance.
\s5
\p
\v 16 Now, no one, when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand, so that everyone who enters may see the light.
\v 17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be made known, nor anything secret, that will not be known and come into the light.
\v 18 So be careful how you listen, because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever has not, from him will be taken away even what he thinks he has."
\s5
\p
\v 19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they could not come near him because of the crowd.
\v 20 And it was told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
\v 21 But Jesus answered and said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God, and obey it."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Now it happened on one of those days that Jesus and his disciples entered into a boat, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." Then they set sail.
\v 23 But as they sailed, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm of very strong winds came up over the lake, and their boat started filling up with water, and they were in serious danger.
\s5
\v 24 Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, "Master, master, we are about to die!" He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water and they ceased, and there was a calm.
\v 25 Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid, they were very amazed, saying one to another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
\s5
\p
\v 26 They arrived at the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
\v 27 When Jesus stepped out on the land, a certain man from the city met him, and this man had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but rather in the tombs.
\s5
\v 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him. With a loud voice he said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
\v 29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man, because many times it had seized him. Even though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he would break the bonds apart and be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
\s5
\v 30 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Army," for many demons had entered into him.
\v 31 They kept imploring him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.
\s5
\v 32 Now a herd of many pigs was there feeding on the hill, and the demons implored him to permit them to enter into the pigs. He permitted them to do that.
\v 33 So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep hill into the lake and were drowned.
\s5
\v 34 When the men who were tending the pigs saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the city and out in the countryside.
\v 35 So the people who heard about it went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was clothed and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
\s5
\v 36 Then the ones who had seen what happened told the others how the man who was controlled by demons had been saved.
\v 37 All the people of the region of the Gerasenes and the surrounding area asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were gripped with great fear. So he entered into the boat to return.
\s5
\v 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out pleaded with Jesus to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
\v 39 "Return to your house and recount all the great things God has done for you." The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city all the great things Jesus had done for him.
\s5
\p
\v 40 As Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
\v 41 Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was one of the leaders of the synagogue. Jairus fell down at Jesus’ feet and implored him to come to his house,
\v 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he was going, the crowds of people were pressing up against him.
\s5
\p
\v 43 A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money on physicians, but could not be healed by any of them.
\v 44 She came behind Jesus and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
\s5
\v 45 Jesus said, "Who is it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds of people are pressing in on you and crowding you."
\v 46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I knew that power was going out from me."
\s5
\v 47 When the woman saw that she could not hide what she had done, she came trembling. Falling down before Jesus, she declared in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.
\v 48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
\s5
\p
\v 49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher."
\v 50 But when Jesus heard that, he answered him, "Do not be afraid. Just believe, and she will be saved."
\s5
\v 51 Then when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter it with him, except Peter, John and James, the father of the girl, and her mother.
\v 52 Now all the people there were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, "Do not wail. She is not dead, but is only sleeping."
\v 53 But they laughed at him scornfully, knowing that she was dead.
\s5
\v 54 But he, taking the girl by the hand, called out, saying, "Child, arise."
\v 55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
\v 56 Her parents were astonished, but he commanded them to tell no one what had happened.
\s5
\c 8
\p
\v 1 It happened soon afterwards that Jesus began traveling around to different cities and villages, preaching and proclaiming the good news about the kingdom of God and the twelve went with him,
\v 2 as well as certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and diseases. They were Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had been driven out,
\v 3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's manager, Susanna, and many other women, who provided for them from their own material resources.
\s5
\p
\v 4 Now, when a large crowd of people had gathered together, including people who were coming to him from many different cities, he spoke to them using a parable.
\v 5 "A sower went out to sow some seeds. As he sowed, some of the seeds fell beside the road and they were trampled underfoot, and the birds of the sky devoured them.
\v 6 Other seeds fell on rocky soil and as soon as they grew into plants, they withered away, because they had no moisture.
\s5
\v 7 Still other seeds fell among thorn plants, and the thorn plants grew up together with the seeds and choked them.
\v 8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop that was a hundred times greater." After Jesus had said these things, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
\s5
\p
\v 9 Then his disciples asked him what this parable might mean.
\v 10 Jesus said to them, "You have been given the privilege of understanding the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but the rest of the people will only be taught with parables, so that 'seeing they will not really see, and hearing they will not really understand.'
\s5
\v 11 Now this is what the parable means. The seed is the word of God.
\v 12 The seeds that fell beside the road are people who have heard the word, but then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they may not believe and be saved.
\v 13 Then, the ones that fell on the rocky ground are people who, when they have heard the word, receive it with joy, but they do not have any roots; they only believe for a while, and then during a time of testing they fall away.
\s5
\v 14 The seeds that fell among the thorn plants are people who have heard the word, but as they go on their way, they become choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and so they bring no fruit to maturity.
\v 15 But the seeds that fell on the good ground, these are people who, with an honest and good heart, after they have heard the word, hold onto it securely and produce fruit with perseverance.
\s5
\p
\v 16 Now, no one, when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a bowl or puts it under a bed. Rather, he puts it on a lampstand, so that everyone who enters may see the light.
\v 17 For nothing is hidden, that will not be made known, nor anything secret, that will not be known and come into the light.
\v 18 So be careful how you listen, because whoever has, to him will be given more, and whoever has not, from him will be taken away even what he thinks he has."
\s5
\p
\v 19 Then Jesus' mother and brothers came to him, but they could not come near him because of the crowd.
\v 20 And it was told him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you."
\v 21 But Jesus answered and said to them, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God, and obey it."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Now it happened on one of those days that Jesus and his disciples entered into a boat, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." Then they set sail.
\v 23 But as they sailed, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm of very strong winds came up over the lake, and their boat started filling up with water, and they were in serious danger.
\s5
\v 24 Then Jesus' disciples came over to him and woke him up, saying, "Master, master, we are about to die!" He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water and they ceased, and there was a calm.
\v 25 Then he said to them, "Where is your faith?" Being afraid, they were very amazed, saying one to another, "Who then is this, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?"
\s5
\p
\v 26 They arrived at the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
\v 27 When Jesus stepped out on the land, a certain man from the city met him, and this man had demons. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and did not live in a house, but rather in the tombs.
\s5
\v 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him. With a loud voice he said, "What do I have to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me."
\v 29 For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man, because many times it had seized him. Even though he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, he would break the bonds apart and be driven by the demon into the wilderness.
\s5
\v 30 Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Army," for many demons had entered into him.
\v 31 They kept imploring him that he would not command them to depart into the abyss.
\s5
\v 32 Now a herd of many pigs was there feeding on the hill, and the demons implored him to permit them to enter into the pigs. He permitted them to do that.
\v 33 So the demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep hill into the lake and were drowned.
\s5
\v 34 When the men who were tending the pigs saw what had happened, they fled and reported it in the city and out in the countryside.
\v 35 So the people who heard about it went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out. He was clothed and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid.
\s5
\v 36 Then the ones who had seen what happened told the others how the man who was controlled by demons had been saved.
\v 37 All the people of the region of the Gerasenes and the surrounding area asked Jesus to depart from them, for they were gripped with great fear. So he entered into the boat to return.
\s5
\v 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out pleaded with Jesus to let him go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
\v 39 "Return to your house and recount all the great things God has done for you." The man went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city all the great things Jesus had done for him.
\s5
\p
\v 40 As Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
\v 41 Behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was one of the leaders of the synagogue. Jairus fell down at Jesus' feet and implored him to come to his house,
\v 42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he was going, the crowds of people were pressing up against him.
\s5
\p
\v 43 A woman was there who had been bleeding for twelve years and had spent all her money on physicians, but could not be healed by any of them.
\v 44 She came behind Jesus and touched the border of his garment, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
\s5
\v 45 Jesus said, "Who is it that touched me?" When all denied it, Peter said, "Master, the crowds of people are pressing in on you and crowding you."
\v 46 But Jesus said, "Someone did touch me, for I knew that power was going out from me."
\s5
\v 47 When the woman saw that she could not hide what she had done, she came trembling. Falling down before Jesus, she declared in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.
\v 48 Then he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace."
\s5
\p
\v 49 While he was still speaking, someone came from the synagogue leader's house, saying, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the teacher."
\v 50 But when Jesus heard that, he answered him, "Do not be afraid. Just believe, and she will be saved."
\s5
\v 51 Then when he came to the house, he did not allow anyone to enter it with him, except Peter, John and James, the father of the girl, and her mother.
\v 52 Now all the people there were mourning and wailing for her, but he said, "Do not wail. She is not dead, but is only sleeping."
\v 53 But they laughed at him scornfully, knowing that she was dead.
\s5
\v 54 But he, taking the girl by the hand, called out, saying, "Child, arise."
\v 55 Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
\v 56 Her parents were astonished, but he commanded them to tell no one what had happened.

\v 1 Now after these things, the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them out in pairs ahead of him into every city and place where he himself intended to go.
\v 2 He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore urgently pray to the Lord of the harvest, so that he may send out laborers into his harvest.
\s5
\v 3 Go on your way. See, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
\v 4 Carry no bag of money, no traveler's bag, nor sandals, and greet no one on the way.

\v 6 If a person of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him, but if not, it will return to you.
\v 7 Remain in that same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

\v 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat what is set before you,
\v 9 and heal the sick that are there. Say to them, 'The kingdom of God has drawn near to you.'

\v 11 'Even the dust from your city that clings to our feet we wipe off against you! But know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn near.'

\v 13 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! If the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
\v 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.
\v 15 You, Capernaum, do you think you will be exalted to heaven? No, you will be brought down to hades.

\v 16 The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me."
\s5

\v 17 The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons submitted to us in your name."
\v 18 Jesus said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven as lightning.
\v 19 See, I have given you authority to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you.
\v 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice only in this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice even more that your names are engraved in heaven."
\s5
\p
\v 21 At that same time he rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you concealed these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to those who are untaught, like little children.

\v 25 Behold, a certain teacher of the Jewish laws stood up and tested him, saying, "Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?"
\v 26 Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"
\v 27 Answering, he said, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."
\v 28 Jesus said to him, "You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live."
\s5
\v 29 But the teacher, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
\v 30 Answering, Jesus said, "A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho. He fell among robbers, who stripped him of his belongings, and beat him, and left him half dead.
\s5
\v 31 By chance a certain priest was going down that way, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
\v 32 Similarly a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
\s5
\v 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
\v 34 He approached him and bound up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He set him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
\v 35 The next day he took out two denarii, and gave them to the host, and said, 'Take care of him and whatever extra you spend, when I return, I will repay you.'
\s5
\v 36 Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to him who fell among the robbers?"
\v 37 The teacher said, "The one who showed mercy to him." Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."
\s5
\p
\v 38 Now as they were traveling along, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha welcomed him into her house.
\v 39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet and heard his word.
\s5
\v 40 But Martha was overly busy with preparing to serve a meal. She came up to Jesus, and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."
\v 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious about many things,

\s5
\v 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.

\v 9 but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
\v 10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

\v 11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you will speak in your defense, or what you will say,

\v 13 Then someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
\v 14 Jesus said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or a mediator over you?"
\v 15 And he said to them, "Watch that you keep yourselves from all greedy desires, because someone’s life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions."
\s5
\v 16 Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, "The field of a rich man yielded abundantly,
\v 17 and he reasoned with himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have a place to store my crops?'
\v 18 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all of my grain and other goods.
\v 19 I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years.Rest easy, eat, drink, be merry."'

\v 20 But God said to him, 'Foolish man, tonight your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
\v 21 That is what someone is like who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life—what you will eat, or about your body—what you will wear.
\v 23 For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
\s5
\v 24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow or reap. They have no storeroom or barn, but God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
\v 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his lifespan?
\v 26 If then you are not able to do even that smallest thing, why do you worry about the rest?
\s5
\v 27 Consider the lilies—how they grow. They do not labor, neither do they spin. Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
\v 28 If God so clothes the grass in the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
\s5
\v 29 Do not look for what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
\v 30 For all the nations of the world look for these things, and your Father knows that you need these things.
\s5
\v 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
\v 32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is very pleased to give you the kingdom.
\s5
\v 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make for yourselves purses which will not wear out—treasure in the heavens that does not run out, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.
\v 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
\s5
\p
\v 35 Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt, and let your lamps be kept burning,
\v 36 and be like people looking for their master when he returns from the marriage feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open the door for him.
\s5
\v 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you that he will tuck his long robe in his belt, make them sit down to a meal, and will come and serve them.
\v 38 If the master comes in the second watch of the night, or if even in the third watch, and finds them ready, blessed are those servants.
\s5
\v 39 Moreover know this, that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
\v 40 Be ready also, because you do not know the hour when the Son of Man comes."
\s5
\p
\v 41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable only to us, or also to everyone?"
\v 42 The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will set over his other servants to give them their portion of food at the right time?
\v 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord finds doing that when he comes.
\v 44 Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his property.
\s5
\v 45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his return,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to become drunk,
\v 46 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and appoint a place for him with the unfaithful.
\s5
\v 47 That servant, having known his lord’s will, and not having prepared or done according to his will, will be beaten with many blows.
\v 48 But he who did not know, and did things worthy of a beating, will be beaten with a few blows. Everyone to whom much is given, much will be required of him, and to whom they entrust much, they will ask even more of him.

\v 56 Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the heavens, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present time?
\s5
\v 57 Why do you not judge what is right for yourselves?
\v 58 For when you go with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the matter with him so that he does not drag you to the judge, and so that the judge does not deliver you to the officer, and the officer does not throw you into prison.

\v 7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
\s5
\v 8 I say to you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God,
\v 9 but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
\v 10 Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
\s5
\v 11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you will speak in your defense, or what you will say,
\v 12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what you should say."
\s5
\p
\v 13 Then someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
\v 14 Jesus said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or a mediator over you?"
\v 15 And he said to them, "Watch that you keep yourselves from all greedy desires, because someone's life does not consist of the abundance of his possessions."
\s5
\v 16 Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, "The field of a rich man yielded abundantly,
\v 17 and he reasoned with himself, saying, 'What will I do, because I do not have a place to store my crops?'
\v 18 He said, 'This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all of my grain and other goods.
\v 19 I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods stored up for many years.Rest easy, eat, drink, be merry."'
\s5
\v 20 But God said to him, 'Foolish man, tonight your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'
\v 21 That is what someone is like who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Jesus said to his disciples, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life—what you will eat, or about your body—what you will wear.
\v 23 For life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.
\s5
\v 24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow or reap. They have no storeroom or barn, but God feeds them. How much more valuable you are than the birds!
\v 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his lifespan?
\v 26 If then you are not able to do even that smallest thing, why do you worry about the rest?
\s5
\v 27 Consider the lilies—how they grow. They do not labor, neither do they spin. Yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
\v 28 If God so clothes the grass in the field, which exists today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
\s5
\v 29 Do not look for what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not be anxious.
\v 30 For all the nations of the world look for these things, and your Father knows that you need these things.
\s5
\v 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.
\v 32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father is very pleased to give you the kingdom.
\s5
\v 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make for yourselves purses which will not wear out—treasure in the heavens that does not run out, where no thief comes near, and no moth destroys.
\v 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
\s5
\p
\v 35 Let your long clothing be tucked in at your belt, and let your lamps be kept burning,
\v 36 and be like people looking for their master when he returns from the marriage feast, so that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open the door for him.
\s5
\v 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the master will find watching when he comes. Truly I say to you that he will tuck his long robe in his belt, make them sit down to a meal, and will come and serve them.
\v 38 If the master comes in the second watch of the night, or if even in the third watch, and finds them ready, blessed are those servants.
\s5
\v 39 Moreover know this, that if the master of the house had known the hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into.
\v 40 Be ready also, because you do not know the hour when the Son of Man comes."
\s5
\p
\v 41 Peter said, "Lord, are you telling this parable only to us, or also to everyone?"
\v 42 The Lord said, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will set over his other servants to give them their portion of food at the right time?
\v 43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord finds doing that when he comes.
\v 44 Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his property.
\s5
\v 45 But if that servant says in his heart, 'My lord delays his return,' and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to become drunk,
\v 46 the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him in pieces and appoint a place for him with the unfaithful.
\s5
\v 47 That servant, having known his lord's will, and not having prepared or done according to his will, will be beaten with many blows.
\v 48 But he who did not know, and did things worthy of a beating, will be beaten with a few blows. Everyone to whom much is given, much will be required of him, and to whom they entrust much, they will ask even more of him.
\s5
\p
\v 49 I came to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish that it was already kindled.
\v 50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am distressed until it is completed!
\s5
\v 51 Do you think that I came to bring peace on the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
\v 52 For from now on there will be five in one house divided—three people against two, or two people against three.
\v 53 They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
\s5
\p
\v 54 Jesus was saying to the crowds also, "When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it happens.
\v 55 And when a south wind is blowing, you say, 'There will be a scorching heat,' and it happens.
\v 56 Hypocrites, you know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the heavens, but how is it that you do not know how to interpret the present time?
\s5
\v 57 Why do you not judge what is right for yourselves?
\v 58 For when you go with your adversary before the magistrate, on the way make an effort to settle the matter with him so that he does not drag you to the judge, and so that the judge does not deliver you to the officer, and the officer does not throw you into prison.
\v 59 I say to you, you will never come out from there until you have paid the very last bit of money."

\v 1 At that time, some people there told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their own sacrifices.
\v 2 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way?
\v 3 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, all of you will perish in the same way.
\s5
\v 4 Or those eighteen people in Siloam on whom a tower fell and killed them, do you think they were worse sinners than other men in Jerusalem?
\v 5 No, I say. But if you do not repent, all of you will also perish."
\s5
\p
\v 6 Jesus told this parable, "Someone had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came and looked for fruit on it but found none.
\v 7 The man said to the gardener, 'Look, for three years I came and tried to find fruit on this fig tree and found none. Cut it down. Why let it waste the ground?'
\s5
\v 8 The gardener answered and said, 'Leave it alone this year while I dig around it and put manure on it.
\v 9 If it bears fruit next year, good; but if it does not, cut it down!'"
\s5
\p
\v 10 Now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues during the Sabbath.
\v 11 Behold, a woman was there who for eighteen years had an evil spirit of weakness, and she was bent over and not able to completely stand up.
\s5
\v 12 When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, "Be free of your weakness."
\v 13 He placed his hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up and she glorified God.
\v 14 But the synagogue ruler was indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath. So the ruler answered and said to the crowd, "There are six days in which it is necessary to work. Come and be healed then, not on the Sabbath day."
\s5
\v 15 The Lord answered him and said, "Hypocrites! Does not each of you untie your donkey or cow from its stall and lead it to drink on the Sabbath?
\v 16 So too this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, should her bonds not be untied on the Sabbath day?"
\s5
\v 17 As he said these things, all those who opposed him were ashamed, but the whole crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things he did.
\s5

\v 18 Then Jesus said, "What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?
\v 19 It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden, and it grew into a big tree, and the birds of heaven built their nests in its branches."
\s5

\v 20 Again he said, "To what can I compare the kingdom of God?
\v 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until it rose."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Jesus visited each town and village on the way to Jerusalem and taught them.
\v 23 Someone said to him, "Lord, are only a few people to be saved?" So he said to them,
\v 24 "Struggle to enter through the narrow door, because many will try and will not be able to enter.
\s5
\v 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, then you will stand outside and pound the door and say, ‘Lord, Lord, let us in.’ And he will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you or where you are from.'
\v 26 Then you will say, 'We ate and drank in front of you and you taught in our streets.'
\v 27 But he will reply, 'I say to you, I do not know where you are from. Get away from me, you evildoers!'
\s5
\v 28 There will be crying and the grinding of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in God's kingdom, but you—you were thrown outside.
\v 29 They will arrive from the east, west, north, and south, and relax at the dinner table in the kingdom of God.
\v 30 And know this, the last are the first, and the first will be last."
\s5

\v 31 Shortly after, some Pharisees came and said to him, "Go and leave here because Herod wants to kill you."
\v 32 Jesus said, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I cast out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and the third day I will reach my goal.'
\v 33 In any case, it is necessary for me to continue on today, tomorrow, and the following day, since it is not acceptable to kill a prophet away from Jerusalem.

\v 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to you. How often I desired to gather your children the way a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you did not desire this.

\v 1 Jesus also said to the disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this manager was squandering his possessions.
\v 2 So the rich man called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
\s5
\v 3 The manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking away my management job? I do not have strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
\v 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management job, people will welcome me into their houses.'
\s5
\v 5 Then the manager called for each one of his master's debtors, and he asked the first one, 'How much do you owe to my master?'
\v 6 He said, 'A hundred measures of olive oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
\v 7 Then the manager said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
\s5
\v 8 The master then commended the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly, since the sons of this world are more shrewd concerning their own people than the sons of the light are.
\v 9 I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of worldly wealth, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal dwellings.
\s5
\v 10 He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
\v 11 Therefore, if you have not been faithful in using worldly wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
\v 12 Likewise, if you have not been faithful in that which belongs to another person, who will give you that which is your own?
\s5
\v 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 one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth."
\s5

\v 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
\s5
\v 3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
\v 4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him!"

\v 5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

\v 7 But which of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat.'
\v 8 Will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and put a belt around your clothes and serve me until I have finished eating and drinking. Then afterward you will eat and drink'?
\s5
\v 9 He does not thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded, does he?
\v 10 Even so you also, when you have done everything that you are commanded, should say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have only done what we ought to do.'"

\v 11 It came about that as they were on the way to Jerusalem, he was traveling through the borderlands of Samaria and Galilee.
\v 12 As he entered into a certain village, there he was met by ten men who were lepers. They stood far away from him
\v 13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
\s5
\v 14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And it came about that, as they went, they were cleansed.
\v 15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God.

\v 1 Jesus said to his disciples, "It is certain there will be things that can cause us to sin, but woe to that person through whom they come!
\v 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to stumble.
\s5
\v 3 Watch yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
\v 4 If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him!"
\s5
\p
\v 5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."
\v 6 The Lord said, "If you had faith as a mustard seed, you would say to this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.
\s5
\v 7 But which of you, who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat.'
\v 8 Will he not say to him, 'Prepare something for me to eat, and put a belt around your clothes and serve me until I have finished eating and drinking. Then afterward you will eat and drink'?
\s5
\v 9 He does not thank the servant because he did the things that were commanded, does he?
\v 10 Even so you also, when you have done everything that you are commanded, should say, 'We are unworthy servants. We have only done what we ought to do.'"
\s5
\p
\v 11 It came about that as they were on the way to Jerusalem, he was traveling through the borderlands of Samaria and Galilee.
\v 12 As he entered into a certain village, there he was met by ten men who were lepers. They stood far away from him
\v 13 and they lifted up their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us."
\s5
\v 14 When he saw them, he said to them, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And it came about that, as they went, they were cleansed.
\v 15 When one of them saw that he was healed, he turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
\v 16 He bowed down at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks. He was a Samaritan.
\s5
\v 17 Jesus answering, said, "Were not the ten cleansed? Where are the nine?
\v 18 Were there no others who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?"
\v 19 He said to him, "Arise, and go. Your faith has healed you."
\s5
\p
\v 20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus answered them and said, "The kingdom of God is not something that can be observed.
\v 21 Neither will they say, 'Look here!' or, 'Look there!' because the kingdom of God is among you."
\s5
\p
\v 22 Jesus said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
\v 23 They will say to you, 'Look, there! Look, here!' But do not go looking, nor follow after them,
\v 24 for as the lightning appears when it flashes from one part of the sky to another part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in his day.
\s5
\v 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
\v 26 As it happened in the days of Noah, even so will it also happen in the days of the Son of Man.
\v 27 They ate, they drank, they married, and they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark—and the flood came and destroyed them all.
\s5
\v 28 Likewise even as it happened in the days of Lot, they ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, and they built.
\v 29 But in the day that Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all.

\v 1 Then he spoke a parable to them about how they should always pray, and not become discouraged,
\v 2 saying, "There was in a particular city, a judge who did not fear God and he did not respect people.
\s5
\v 3 Now there was a widow in that city, and she came often to him, saying, 'Help me get justice against my opponent.'
\v 4 For a long time he was not willing to help her, but after awhile he said to himself, 'Though I do not fear God or respect man,
\v 5 yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will help her get justice, so that she does not wear me out by her constant coming.'"
\s5
\v 6 Then the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says.
\v 7 Now will not God also bring justice to his chosen ones who cry out to him day and night? Will he not be patient with them?
\v 8 I say to you that he will bring justice to them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
\s5
\p
\v 9 Then he also spoke this parable to some who were persuaded in themselves that they were righteous and who despised other people,
\v 10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray—the one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
\s5
\v 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed these things about himself, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people who are robbers, unrighteous people, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
\v 12 I fast two times every week. I give tithes of all that I get.'
\s5
\v 13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but hit his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner.'
\v 14 I say to you, this man went back down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but everyone who humbles himself will be exalted."
\s5
\p
\v 15 The people were also bringing to him their infants, so that he might touch them, but when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
\v 16 But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Permit the little children to come to me, and do not forbid them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such ones.
\v 17 Truly I say to you, whoever will not receive the kingdom of God like a child will definitely not enter it."
\s5
\p
\v 18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
\v 19 Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good, except God alone.
\v 20 You know the commandments—do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not testify falsely, honor your father and mother."
\v 21 The ruler said, "All these things I have obeyed from the time I was a youth."
\s5
\v 22 When Jesus heard that, he said to him, "One thing you still lack. You must sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven—and come, follow me."
\v 23 But when the rich man heard these things, he became extremely sad, for he was very rich.
\s5
\v 24 Then Jesus, seeing him, became very sad and said, "How difficult it is for those who are rich to enter the kingdom of God!
\v 25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God."
\s5
\v 26 Those hearing it said, "Then who can be saved?"
\v 27 Jesus answered, "The things which are impossible with people are possible with God."
\s5
\v 28 Peter said, "Well, we have left everything that is our own and have followed you."
\v 29 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, I say to you that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
\v 30 who will not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come, eternal life."
\s5
\p
\v 31 After he gathered the twelve to himself, he said to them, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that have been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.

\v 35 It came about that, as Jesus drew near to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting by the road begging,
\v 36 and hearing a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
\v 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
\s5
\v 38 So the blind man cried out, saying, "Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me."
\v 39 The ones who were walking ahead rebuked the blind man, telling him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me."
\s5
\v 40 Jesus stood still and commanded that the man be brought to him. Then when the blind man was near, Jesus asked him,
\v 41 "What do you want me to do for you?" He said, "Lord, I want to receive my sight."

\v 2 They spoke, saying to him, "Tell us by what authority you do these things? Or who is he that gave you this authority?"
\s5
\v 3 He answered and said to them, "I also will ask you a question. Tell me about
\v 4 the baptism of John. Was it from heaven or from men?"
\s5
\v 5 They reasoned with themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'
\v 6 But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
\s5
\v 7 So they answered that they did not know where it came from.
\v 8 Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."
\s5
\p
\v 9 He told the people this parable, "A man planted a vineyard, rented it out to vine growers, and went into another country for a long time.
\v 10 At the appointed time he sent a servant to the vine growers, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard. But the vine growers beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
\s5
\v 11 He then sent yet another servant and they also beat him, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.
\v 12 He also sent yet a third and they also wounded him, and threw him out.
\s5
\v 13 So the lord of the vineyard said, 'What will I do? I will send my beloved son. Maybe they will respect him.'
\v 14 But when the vine growers saw him, they discussed among themselves, saying, 'This is the heir. Let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.'
\s5
\v 15 They threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What then will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
\v 16 He will come and destroy these vine growers, and will give the vineyard to others." And when they heard it, they said, "God forbid!"
\s5
\v 17 But Jesus looked at them, and said, "What does this scripture mean?
\q 'The stone which the builders rejected, has been made the cornerstone'?
\m
\v 18 Every one that falls on that stone will be broken to pieces. But on whomever it falls, it will crush."
\s5
\p
\v 19 So the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him in that very hour, for they knew that he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people.
\v 20 Watching him carefully, they sent out spies who pretended to be righteous, that they might find fault with his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
\s5
\v 21 They asked him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you say and teach rightly, and are not influenced by anyone, but you teach the truth about the way of God.
\v 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"
\s5
\v 23 But Jesus understood their craftiness, and said to them,
\v 24 "Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription is on it?" They said, "Caesar’s."
\s5
\v 25 He said to them, "Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God, the things that are God’s."
\v 26 The scribes and chief priests were not able to criticize what he had said in front of the people. They marveled at his answer and they said nothing.

\v 27 When some of the Sadducees came to him, the ones who say that there is no resurrection,

\s5
\v 29 There were seven brothers and the first took a wife, and died childless,
\v 30 and the second as well.
\v 31 The third took her, and likewise the seven also left no children, and died.
\v 32 Afterward the woman also died.
\v 33 In the resurrection then, whose wife will she be? For the seven had her as their wife."

\v 35 But they who are judged to be worthy to receive the resurrection from the dead and to enter eternity neither marry, nor are given in marriage.
\v 36 Neither can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
\s5
\v 37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the place concerning the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

\v 7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
\v 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it."
\v 9 They asked him, "Where do you want us to make preparations?"
\s5
\v 10 He answered them, "Listen, when you have entered the city, a man bearing a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he goes into.
\v 11 Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
\s5
\v 12 He will show you a large furnished upper room. Make the preparations there."
\v 13 So they went, and found everything as he had said to them. Then they prepared the Passover meal.
\s5
\p
\v 14 When the time came, he sat down with the apostles.
\v 15 Then he said to them, "I have greatly desired to eat this Passover Festival with you before I suffer.
\v 16 For I say to you, I will not eat it again, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."
\s5
\v 17 Then Jesus took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, "Take this, and share it among yourselves.
\v 18 For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine again, until the kingdom of God comes."
\s5
\v 19 Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
\v 20 He took the cup in the same way after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
\s5
\v 21 But pay attention. The one who betrays me is with me at the table.
\v 22 For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined. But woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!"
\v 23 And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was that would do this thing.
\s5
\p
\v 24 Then there arose also a quarrel among them about which of them was considered to be greatest.
\v 25 He said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles have lordship over them, and the ones who have authority over them are called honored rulers.
\s5
\v 26 But it must not be like this with you. Instead, let the one who is the greatest among you become like the youngest. And let the one who is the most important become like the one who serves.
\v 27 For which is greater, the one who sits at the table, or the one who serves? Is it not the one who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as one who serves.
\s5
\v 28 But you are the ones who have continued with me in my temptations.
\v 29 I give to you a kingdom, even as my Father has given a kingdom to me,
\v 30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom. And you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
\s5
\p
\v 31 Simon, Simon, be aware, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.
\v 32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail. After you have turned back again, strengthen your brothers."
\s5
\v 33 Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death."
\v 34 Jesus replied, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, before you deny three times that you know me."
\s5
\p
\v 35 Then Jesus said to them, "When I sent you out without a purse, a bag of provisions, or shoes, did you lack anything?" And they answered, "Nothing."
\v 36 Then he said to them, "But now, the one who has a purse, let him take it, and also a bag of provisions. The one who does not have a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.
\s5
\v 37 For I say to you, what is written about me must be fulfilled, 'And he was regarded as one of the lawless.' For what is predicted about me is being fulfilled."
\v 38 Then they said, "Lord, look! Here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."
\s5
\p
\v 39 After supper, Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
\v 40 When they arrived, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."
\s5
\v 41 He went away from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
\v 42 saying, "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done."
\s5
\v 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
\v 44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
\s5
\v 45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
\v 46 and asked them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation."
\s5
\p
\v 47 While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd appeared, with Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him,
\v 48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
\s5
\v 49 When those who were around Jesus saw what was happening, they said, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
\v 50 Then one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
\v 51 Jesus said, "Let this be enough." And he touched his ear, and healed him.
\s5
\v 52 Jesus said to the chief priests, to the captains of the temple, and to elders who came against him, "Do you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
\v 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay your hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness."
\s5
\p
\v 54 Seizing him, they led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed from a distance.
\v 55 After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.
\s5
\v 56 A certain female servant saw him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looked straight at him and said, "This man also was with him."
\v 57 But Peter denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
\v 58 After a little while someone else saw him, and said, "You are also one of them." But Peter said, "Man, I am not."
\s5
\v 59 After about an hour another man insisted and said, "Truly this man also was with him, for he is a Galilean."
\v 60 But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are saying." And immediately, while he was speaking, a rooster crowed.
\s5
\v 61 Turning, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, when he said to him, "Before a rooster crows today you will deny me three times."
\v 62 Going outside, Peter wept bitterly.
\s5
\p
\v 63 Then the men guarding Jesus mocked and beat him.
\v 64 After blindfolding him, they asked him, saying, "Prophesy! Who is the one who hit you?"
\v 65 They spoke many other things against Jesus, blaspheming him.
\s5
\p
\v 66 As soon as it was day, the elders of the people gathered together, both chief priests and scribes. They led him into the Council,
\v 67 saying, "If you are the Christ, tell us." But he said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe,
\v 68 and if I ask you, you will not answer.
\s5
\v 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
\v 70 They all said, "Then you are the Son of God?" And Jesus said to them, "You say that I am."
\v 71 They said, "Why do we still need a witness? For we ourselves have heard from his own mouth."
\s5
\c 22
\p
\v 1 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
\v 2 The chief priests and the scribes discussed how they could put Jesus to death, for they were afraid of the people.
\s5
\p
\v 3 Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve.
\v 4 Judas went and discussed with the chief priests and captains about how he could deliver Jesus to them.
\s5
\v 5 They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
\v 6 He consented, and looked for an opportunity to deliver him to them away from the crowd.
\s5
\p
\v 7 The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb must be sacrificed.
\v 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare for us the Passover meal, so that we may eat it."
\v 9 They asked him, "Where do you want us to make preparations?"

\v 1 The whole company of them rose up, and brought Jesus before Pilate.
\v 2 They began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our nation, forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king."
\s5
\v 3 Pilate asked him, saying, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And Jesus answered him and said, "You say so."
\v 4 Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no fault in this man."
\v 5 But they were insisting, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place."
\s5
\v 6 So when Pilate heard this, he asked whether the man was a Galilean.
\v 7 When he discovered that he was under Herod’s authority, he sent Jesus to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in those days.
\s5
\p
\v 8 When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, because he had wanted to see him for a long time. He had heard about him and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.
\v 9 Herod questioned Jesus in many words, but Jesus answered him nothing.
\v 10 The chief priests and the scribes stood, violently accusing him.
\s5
\v 11 Herod with his soldiers insulted him, and mocked him, and clothed him in beautiful clothing, then sent Jesus back to Pilate.
\v 12 Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day (before they had been enemies).
\s5
\p
\v 13 Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the crowd of people,
\v 14 and said to them, "You brought to me this man like a man who is leading the people to act badly, and see, I, having questioned him before you, find no fault in this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.
\s5
\v 15 No, nor does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and see, nothing worthy of death has been done by him.
\v 16 I will therefore punish him, and release him."
\v 17 \f + \ft The best ancient copies omit Luke 23:17, \fqa Now Pilate was obligated to release to the Jews one prisoner at the feast. \f*
\s5
\v 18 But they cried out all together, saying, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!"
\v 19 Barrabas was a man who had been put into prison for a certain rebellion in the city and for murder.
\s5
\v 20 Pilate addressed them again, desiring to release Jesus.
\v 21 But they shouted, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him."
\v 22 He said to them a third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found nothing deserving the death penalty in him. Therefore after punishing him, I will release him."
\s5
\v 23 But they were insistent with loud voices, demanding for him to be crucified. And their voices convinced Pilate.
\v 24 So Pilate decided to grant their demand.
\v 25 He released the one they asked for who had been put in prison for rioting and murder. But he delivered up Jesus to their will.
\s5
\p
\v 26 As they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him to carry, following Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 27 A great crowd of the people, and of women who grieved and mourned for him, were following him.
\v 28 But turning to them, Jesus said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.
\s5
\v 29 For see, the days are coming in which they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that did not bear, and the breasts that did not nurse.'
\v 30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us,' and to the hills, 'Cover us.'
\v 31 For if they do these things while the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
\s5
\p
\v 32 Other men, two criminals, were led away with him to be put to death.
\s5
\p
\v 33 When they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on the right of him and the other on the left.
\v 34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up his garments.
\s5
\v 35 The people stood watching while the rulers also were mocking him, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, the chosen one."
\s5
\v 36 The soldiers also ridiculed him, approaching him, offering him vinegar,
\v 37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."
\v 38 There was also a sign over him, "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
\s5
\p
\v 39 One of the criminals who was crucified, insulted him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."
\v 40 But the other answered, rebuking him said, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence?
\v 41 We indeed are here justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds. But this man did nothing wrong."
\s5
\v 42 And he added, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
\v 43 Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise."
\p
\s5
\v 44 It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour
\v 45 as the sun's light failed. Then the curtain of the temple was split down the middle.
\s5
\v 46 Crying with a loud voice, Jesus said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, he died.
\v 47 When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, "Surely this was a righteous man."
\s5
\v 48 When all the multitudes who came together to witness this sight saw the things that were done, they returned beating their breasts.
\v 49 But all of his acquaintances, and the women who followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
\s5
\p
\v 50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, belonging to the Council, a good and righteous man
\v 51 (he had not agreed with the decision and their action), from Arimathea, a Jewish city, who was waiting for the kingdom of God.
\s5
\v 52 This man, approaching Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.
\v 53 He took it down, and wrapped it in fine linen, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
\s5
\v 54 It was the Day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was dawning.
\v 55 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
\v 56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
\p Then on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

\v 50 Behold, there was a man named Joseph, belonging to the Council, a good and righteous man
\v 51 (he had not agreed with the decision and their action), from Arimathea, a Jewish city, who was waiting for the kingdom of God.
\s5
\v 52 This man, approaching Pilate, asked for the body of Jesus.
\v 53 He took it down, and wrapped it in fine linen, and laid him in a tomb that was cut in stone, where no one had ever been laid.
\s5
\v 54 It was the Day of the Preparation, and the Sabbath was dawning.
\v 55 The women, who had come with him out of Galilee, followed after, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid.
\v 56 They returned, and prepared spices and ointments.
\p Then on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

\v 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
\v 2 This one, the Word, was in the beginning with God.
\v 3 All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
\s5
\v 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
\v 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not extinguish it.
\s5
\v 6 There was a man who was sent from God, whose name was John.
\v 7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
\v 8 John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
\s5
\v 9 That was the true light that was coming into the world and that illumines everyone.
\s5
\v 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him.
\v 11 He came to his own things, and his own people did not receive him.
\s5
\v 12 But to as many as did receive him, who believed on his name, to these he gave the right to become children of God,
\v 13 who were born, not by blood, nor by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of man, but by God.
\s5
\v 14 Now the Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the only unique person who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
\v 15 John testified about him and cried out saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'"
\s5
\v 16 For from his fullness we have all received free gift after free gift.
\v 17 For the law was given through Moses, and grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
\v 18 No man has seen God at any time. The one and only person, himself God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has made him known.
\s5
\p
\v 19 Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, "Who are you?"
\v 20 He freely stated, and did not deny, but replied, "I am not the Christ."
\v 21 So they asked him, "What are you then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." They said, "Are you the prophet?" He answered, "No."
\s5
\v 22 Then they said to him, "Who are you, so that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?"
\v 23 He said,
\q "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
\q 'Make the way of the Lord straight,'
\m
just as Isaiah the prophet said."
\s5
\v 24 Now there were ones sent there from the Pharisees. They asked him and said to him,
\v 25 "Why do you baptize then if you are not the Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet?"
\s5
\v 26 John replied to them saying, "I baptize with water. However, in the midst of you stands one whom you do not recognize.
\v 27 This is the one who is coming after me. I am not worthy to untie the strap of his sandal."
\v 28 These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
\s5
\v 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look, there is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
\v 30 This is the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me ranks before me, for he was before me.'
\v 31 I did not recognize him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water."
\s5
\v 32 John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
\v 33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, that one is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
\v 34 I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God."
\s5
\p
\v 35 Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
\v 36 they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, "Look, there is the Lamb of God!"
\s5
\v 37 The two disciples heard John say this, and they followed Jesus.
\v 38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, "What do you want?" They replied, "Rabbi (which means 'teacher'), where are you staying?"
\v 39 He said to them, "Come and see." Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
\s5
\v 40 One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
\v 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated, 'the Christ').
\v 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which means 'Peter').
\s5
\p
\v 43 The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."
\v 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
\v 45 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, "The one of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote—we have found him, Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth."
\s5
\v 46 Nathaniel said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
\v 47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, "See, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!"
\v 48 Nathaniel said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
\s5
\v 49 Nathaniel replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
\v 50 Jesus replied and said to him, "Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this."
\v 51 Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."

\v 1 Three days later, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
\v 2 Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding.
\s5
\v 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine."
\v 4 Jesus replied, "Woman, what does that have to do with me? My time has not yet come."
\v 5 His mother said to the servants, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
\s5
\v 6 Now there were six stone water pots there used for the Jews’ ceremonial washing, containing two to three metretes apiece.
\v 7 Jesus said to them, "Fill the water pots with water." So they filled them up to the brim.
\v 8 Then he told the servants, "Take some out now and take it to the head waiter." So they did.
\s5
\v 9 The head waiter tasted the water that had become wine, but he did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew). Then he called the bridegroom
\v 10 and said to him, "Every man serves the good wine first and then the cheaper wine when men are drunk. But you have kept the fine wine until now."
\s5
\v 11 This miracle in Cana of Galilee was the beginning of the miraculous signs that Jesus did, revealing his glory, so his disciples believed in him.
\s5
\v 12 After this Jesus, his mother, his brothers, and his disciples went down to Capernaum, and there they stayed for a few days.
\s5
\p
\v 13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, so Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
\v 14 He found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and pigeons. The money changers were sitting there also.
\s5
\v 15 So he made a whip of cords and drove all of them out from the temple, including both the sheep and the oxen. He poured out the money changers’ money and overthrew their tables.
\v 16 To the pigeon sellers, he said, "Take these things away from here. Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace."
\s5
\v 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
\v 18 Then the Jewish authorities responded, saying to him, "What sign will you show us because you are doing these things?"
\v 19 Jesus replied, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
\s5
\v 20 Then the Jewish authorities said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and you will raise it up in three days?"
\v 21 However, he was speaking of the temple of his body.
\v 22 So then afterwards when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the scripture and this statement that Jesus had spoken.
\s5
\p
\v 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, when they saw the miraculous signs that he did.

\v 1 Now there was a Pharisee whose name was Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish Council.
\v 2 This man came to Jesus at night time 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."
\s5
\v 3 Jesus replied to him, "Truly, truly, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
\v 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?"
\s5
\v 5 Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
\v 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
\s5
\v 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.'
\v 8 The wind blows wherever it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it came from or where it is going. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
\s5
\v 9 Nicodemus replied, saying, "How can these things be?"
\v 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
\v 11 Truly, truly, we speak that which we know, and we testify of that which we have seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony.
\s5
\v 12 If I told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
\v 13 No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so the Son of Man must be lifted up
\v 15 so that all who believe in him may have everlasting life.
\s5
\p
\v 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only unique Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
\v 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world should be saved through him.
\v 18 He who believes in him is not condemned. He who does not believe has been condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the unique Son of God.
\s5
\v 19 This is the reason for the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
\v 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light so that his deeds might not be exposed.
\v 21 However, he who practices the truth comes to the light so that his deeds may be clearly seen and that they have been brought about in obedience to God."
\s5
\p
\v 22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judea. There he was spending time with them and was baptizing.
\v 23 Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim because there was much water there. People were coming to him and were being baptized,
\v 24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
\s5
\v 25 Then there arose a dispute between some of John’s disciples and a Jew about ceremonial washing.
\v 26 They went to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you have testified, see, he is baptizing, and all are going to him."
\s5
\v 27 John replied, "A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
\v 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, 'I am not the Christ' but rather that I said, 'I have been sent before him.'
\s5
\v 29 He who has the bride is the bridegroom. Now the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and listens, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. This, then, is my joy made complete.
\v 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

\v 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of earthly things. He who comes from heaven is above all.
\v 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no man accepts his testimony.
\v 33 He who has received his testimony has confirmed that God is true.

\v 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God. For he does not give the Spirit by measure.

\v 1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
\v 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
\v 3 he left Judea and departed for Galilee.
\s5
\v 4 Now it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
\v 5 Then he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

\v 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about noon time.
\v 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."
\v 8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
\s5
\v 9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
\v 10 Jesus answered her, "If you had known 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."
\s5
\v 11 The woman replied, "Sir, you do not have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where would you get that living water?
\v 12 You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank from it himself as did his sons and his cattle?"
\s5
\v 13 Jesus replied, "Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty again,
\v 14 but whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life."
\s5
\v 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I may not get thirsty and not have to come here to draw water."
\v 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back here."
\s5
\v 17 The woman answered, saying to him, "I do not have a husband." Jesus replied, "You have said well, 'I have no husband,'
\v 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband! In this you have spoken well!"
\s5
\v 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
\v 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you people say that Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
\s5
\v 21 Jesus replied to her, "Woman, believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
\v 22 You people worship what you do not know. We worship that which we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
\s5
\v 23 However, the hour is coming, and now is here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
\v 24 God is a Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
\s5
\v 25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming (the one who is called Christ). When he comes, he will declare everything to us."
\v 26 Jesus said to her, "I, the one speaking to you, am he."
\s5
\p
\v 27 At that very moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"
\s5
\v 28 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
\v 29 "Come, see a man who told me all things that I ever did. This could not be the Christ, could it?"
\v 30 They left the town and came to him.
\s5
\v 31 In the meantime, the disciples were asking him, saying, "Rabbi, eat something."
\v 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
\v 33 The disciples therefore said to each other, "No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
\v 35 Do you not say, 'There are yet four months and then the harvest will come'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
\v 36 He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests may rejoice together.
\s5
\v 37 For in this is the saying true, 'One sows, and another harvests.'
\v 38 I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have labored, and you yourselves have entered into their labor."
\s5
\p
\v 39 Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the woman's report, she who had said, "He told me everything that I have ever done."
\v 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they implored him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
\s5
\v 41 And many more believed because of his word.
\v 42 They were saying to the woman, "We believe, not because of your words only, for we have heard for ourselves, and we now know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
\s5
\p
\v 43 After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
\v 44 For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
\v 45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the
festival, for they also had gone to the festival.
\s5
\p
\v 46 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.
\v 47 When he heard that Jesus had left Judea and returned to Galilee, he went to Jesus and implored him that he would come down and heal his son who was at the point of death.
\s5
\v 48 Jesus then said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe."
\v 49 The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
\v 50 Jesus said to him, "Go; your son lives. "The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
\s5
\v 51 While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
\v 52 So he asked them the time when he began to improve. They replied to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
\s5
\v 53 Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, "Your son lives." So he himself and his whole household believed.
\v 54 This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
\s5
\c 4
\p
\v 1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
\v 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
\v 3 he left Judea and departed for Galilee.
\s5
\v 4 Now it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
\v 5 Then he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
\s5
\v 6 Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about noon time.
\v 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink."
\v 8 For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
\s5
\v 9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

\v 1 After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
\v 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five roofed porticos.
\v 3 A great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed were lying in these porticos. \f + \ft The best ancient copies omit the phrase, \fqa vs. 3 "waiting for the moving of the water" \f*
\v 4 \f + \ft The best ancient copies omit vs. 4, "For an angel of the Lord went down and stirred up the water at certain times and whoever stepped in while the water was stirring was healed from whatever disease he suffered from." \f*
\s5
\v 5 A certain man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
\v 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and after he realized that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be well?"
\s5
\v 7 The sick man replied, "Sir, I do not have anyone, when the water is stirred up, to put me into the pool. When I am trying, another steps down before me."
\v 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, take up your mat, and walk."
\s5
\v 9 Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked.
\p Now that day was a Sabbath.
\s5
\v 10 So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to carry your mat."
\v 11 He replied, "He who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.'"
\s5
\v 12 They asked him, "Who is the man that said to you, 'Pick up your bed and walk?'"
\v 13 However, the one who was healed did not know who it was because Jesus had withdrawn himself, for there was a crowd in the place.
\s5
\v 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you have become well! Do not sin any more, lest something worse happens to you."
\v 15 The man went away and reported to the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.
\s5
\v 16 Now because of these things the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.
\v 17 Jesus told them, "My Father is working even now, and I, too, work."
\v 18 Because of this, the Jews sought all the more to kill him because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
\s5
\p
\v 19 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, the Son can do nothing of himself, except only what he sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father is doing, the Son does these things also.
\v 20 For the Father loves the Son, and he is showing him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater things than these so that you will be amazed.
\s5
\v 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whomever he wishes.
\v 22 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son
\v 23 so that all may honor the Son even as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.
\s5
\v 24 Truly, truly, he who hears my word and believes him that sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned but has passed out of death into life.
\s5
\v 25 Truly, truly, the time is coming and is here now when the dead will hear the voice of me, the Son of God, and they who hear will live.
\s5
\v 26 For as the Father has life in himself, thus he has given to the Son also to have life in himself,
\v 27 and the Father has given the Son authority to exercise judgment because he is the Son of Man.
\s5
\v 28 Do not be amazed at this, for there is a time coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
\v 29 and will come out: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
\s5
\p
\v 30 I can do nothing from myself. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.
\v 31 If I should testify about myself alone, my testimony would not be true.
\v 32 There is another who testifies concerning me, and I know that the testimony that he gives about me is true.
\s5
\v 33 You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
\v 34 However, the testimony that I receive is not from man. I say these things that you might be saved.
\v 35 John was a lamp that was burning and shining, and you were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
\s5
\v 36 Yet the testimony that I have is greater than that of John, for the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify concerning me that the Father has sent me.
\v 37 The Father who sent me, he has testified concerning me. You have neither heard his voice nor seen his form at any time.
\v 38 You do not have his word remaining in you, for you are not believing in the one whom he has sent.
\s5
\v 39 You search the scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and these same scriptures testify concerning me,
\v 40 and you are not willing to come to me so that you may have life.
\s5
\v 41 I do not receive praise from men,
\v 42 but I know that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.
\s5
\v 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another should come in his own name, you would receive him.
\v 44 How can you believe, you who accept praise from one another but are not seeking the praise that comes from the only God?
\s5
\v 45 Do not think that I myself will accuse you before the Father. There is another one who accuses you, that is Moses on whom you have put your hopes.
\v 46 If you were believing Moses, you would be believing me because he wrote concerning me.
\v 47 If you do not believe his writings, how are you going to believe my words?"

\p
\v 1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
\v 2 A great crowd was following him, because they were seeing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
\v 3 Jesus went up the mountainside and sat down there with his disciples.
\s5
\v 4 (Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.)
\v 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where are we going to buy bread so that these may eat?"
\v 6 (Now Jesus said this to test Philip, for he himself knew what he was going to do.)
\s5
\v 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be sufficient for each one to have even a little."
\v 8 One of the disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Jesus,
\v 9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." (Now there was much grass in the place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
\v 11 Then Jesus took the loaves and after giving thanks, he distributed to those that were sitting. He then distributed the fish in the same way, as much as they wanted.
\v 12 When the people were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing is wasted."
\s5
\v 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves—the pieces left over from those who had eaten.
\v 14 Then when the people saw this sign that he did, they said, "This truly is the prophet who is to come into the world."
\v 15 When Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him by force to make him king, he withdrew again up the mountain by himself.
\s5
\p
\v 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake.
\v 17 They got into a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. (It was dark by this time, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)
\v 18 By now a strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough.
\s5
\v 19 Then when the disciples had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
\v 20 However, he said to them, "It is I! Do not be afraid."
\v 21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land where they were going.
\s5
\p
\v 22 The next day, the crowd that had been standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one and
that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that his disciples had gone away alone.
\v 23 (However, there were some boats that came from Tiberias close to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.)
\s5
\v 24 When the crowd discovered that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
\v 25 After they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
\s5
\v 26 Jesus replied to them, saying, "Truly, truly, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled.
\v 27 Stop working for the food that perishes, but work for the food that endures to everlasting life which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has set his seal on him.
\s5
\v 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, that we may do the works of God?"
\v 29 Jesus replied, "This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom he has sent."
\s5
\v 30 So they said to him, "What sign then will you do, that we may see and believe you? What will you do?
\v 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"
\s5
\v 32 Then Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who is giving you the true bread out of heaven.
\v 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
\v 34 So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."
\s5
\v 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life, he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst.
\v 36 However, I said to you that you have seen me, and you still do not believe.
\v 37 All whom the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will absolutely not drive away.
\s5
\v 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.
\v 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that of all those whom he has given me I should not lose anyone, but should raise them up on the last day.
\v 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day.
\s5
\p
\v 41 Then the Jewish leaders grumbled about him because he had said, "I am the bread that has come down out of heaven."
\v 42 They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?'"
\s5
\v 43 Jesus replied, saying to them, "Stop grumbling among yourselves.
\v 44 No man can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
\v 45 It is written in the prophets, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.
\s5
\v 46 Not that any man has seen the Father, except he who is from God—he has seen the Father.
\v 47 Truly, truly, he who believes has everlasting life.
\s5
\v 48 I am the bread of life.
\v 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
\s5
\v 50 This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that a person may eat some of it and not die.
\v 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. If anyone eats some of this bread, he will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."
\s5
\p
\v 52 The Jews became angry among themselves and began to argue, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
\v 53 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have life in yourselves.
\s5
\v 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
\v 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
\v 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
\s5
\v 57 As the living Father sent me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats me, he will also live because of me.
\v 58 This is the bread that has come down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."
\v 59 Jesus said these things in the synagogue, while he was teaching in Capernaum.
\s5
\p
\v 60 Then many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a difficult teaching; who can accept it?"
\v 61 Jesus, because he knew in himself that his disciples were grumbling at this, said to them, "Does this offend you?
\s5
\v 62 Then what if you should see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
\v 63 It is the Spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit, and they are life.
\s5
\v 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who the ones were who would not believe and who it was who would betray him.
\v 65 He said, "It is because of this that I said to you that no one can come to me unless it is granted to him by the Father."
\s5
\p
\v 66 After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
\v 67 Jesus said then to the twelve, "You do not want to go away also, do you?"
\v 68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of everlasting life,
\v 69 and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God."
\s5
\v 70 Jesus said to them, "Did not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
\v 71 Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he, being one of the twelve, who would betray Jesus.
\s5
\c 6
\p
\v 1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
\v 2 A great crowd was following him, because they were seeing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick.
\v 3 Jesus went up the mountainside and sat down there with his disciples.
\s5
\v 4 (Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.)
\v 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where are we going to buy bread so that these may eat?"
\v 6 (Now Jesus said this to test Philip, for he himself knew what he was going to do.)
\s5
\v 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be sufficient for each one to have even a little."
\v 8 One of the disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Jesus,
\v 9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." (Now there was much grass in the place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
\v 11 Then Jesus took the loaves and after giving thanks, he distributed to those that were sitting. He then distributed the fish in the same way, as much as they wanted.
\v 12 When the people were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing is wasted."
\s5
\v 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves—the pieces left over from those who had eaten.
\v 14 Then when the people saw this sign that he did, they said, "This truly is the prophet who is to come into the world."
\v 15 When Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him by force to make him king, he withdrew again up the mountain by himself.
\s5
\p
\v 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake.
\v 17 They got into a boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. (It was dark by this time, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)
\v 18 By now a strong wind was blowing, and the sea was getting rough.
\s5
\v 19 Then when the disciples had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
\v 20 However, he said to them, "It is I! Do not be afraid."
\v 21 Then they were willing to receive him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land where they were going.
\s5
\p
\v 22 The next day, the crowd that had been standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except the one and
that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples but that his disciples had gone away alone.
\v 23 (However, there were some boats that came from Tiberias close to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.)
\s5
\v 24 When the crowd discovered that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
\v 25 After they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
\s5
\v 26 Jesus replied to them, saying, "Truly, truly, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate some of the loaves and were filled.
\v 27 Stop working for the food that perishes, but work for the food that endures to everlasting life which the Son of Man will give you, for God the Father has set his seal on him.
\s5
\v 28 Then they said to him, "What must we do, that we may do the works of God?"
\v 29 Jesus replied, "This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom he has sent."
\s5
\v 30 So they said to him, "What sign then will you do, that we may see and believe you? What will you do?
\v 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.'"
\s5
\v 32 Then Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly, it was not Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but it is my Father who is giving you the true bread out of heaven.
\v 33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
\v 34 So they said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."
\s5
\v 35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life, he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst.
\v 36 However, I said to you that you have seen me, and you still do not believe.
\v 37 All whom the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will absolutely not drive away.

\s5
\v 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has everlasting life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
\v 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
\v 56 He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
\s5
\v 57 As the living Father sent me, and as I live because of the Father, so he who eats me, he will also live because of me.
\v 58 This is the bread that has come down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. He who eats this bread will live forever."

\v 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; he sat down and taught them.

\s5
\v 4 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* Then they said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.

\s5
\v 7 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

\s5
\v 9 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* When they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in their midst.

\v 11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way; from now on sin no more."]
\s5
\p
\v 12 Again Jesus spoke to the people saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life."
\v 13 The Pharisees said to him, "You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true."
\s5
\v 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know from where I came and where I am going, but you do not know from where I came or where I am going.
\v 15 You judge after the flesh; I judge no one.
\v 16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
\s5
\v 17 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
\v 18 I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me."
\s5
\v 19 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."
\v 20 He said these words near the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
\s5
\p
\v 21 He said again to them, "I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
\v 22 The Jews said, "Will he kill himself, he who said, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
\s5
\v 23 Jesus said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
\v 24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
\s5
\v 25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I have said to you from the beginning.
\v 26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world."
\v 27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
\s5
\v 28 Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
\v 29 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

\v 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
\v 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been in bondage to anyone; how can you say, 'You will be made free'?"
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

\v 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

\v 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
\v 38 I say the things that I have seen with my Father, and you also do the things that you heard from your father."
\s5
\v 39 They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
\v 40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
\v 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father, God."
\s5
\v 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and have come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
\v 43 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot bear to hear my words.
\v 44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
\s5
\v 45 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
\v 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

\v 48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
\v 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.

\v 50 I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks and judges.
\v 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
\s5
\v 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
\v 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
\s5
\v 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.

\v 1 "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the gate into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.
\v 2 He who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.
\s5
\v 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
\v 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
\s5
\v 5 They will not follow a stranger but will instead avoid him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
\v 6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they did not understand what these things were that he was saying to them.
\s5
\p
\v 7 Then Jesus said to them again, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
\v 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
\s5
\v 9 I am the gate. If anyone enters in through me, he will be saved; he will go in and out and will find pasture.
\v 10 The thief does not come except to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
\s5
\v 11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
\v 12 He who is a hired servant, and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and escapes. And the wolf carries them off and scatters them.
\v 13 He runs away because he is a hired servant and does not care for the sheep.
\s5
\v 14 I am the good shepherd, and I know my own, and my own know me.
\v 15 The Father knows me, and I know the Father, and I lay down my life for the sheep.
\v 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. Those, also, I must bring, and they will hear my voice so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
\s5
\v 17 This is why the Father loves me: I lay down my life that I may take it again.
\v 18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this command from my Father."
\s5
\p
\v 19 A division again occurred among the Jews because of these words.
\v 20 Many of them said, "He has a demon and is insane. Why do you listen to him?"
\v 21 Others said, "These are not the statements of one possessed with a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?"
\s5
\p
\v 22 Then came the Festival of the Dedication in Jerusalem.
\v 23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
\v 24 Then the Jews surrounded him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."
\s5
\v 25 Jesus replied to them, "I told you, but you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify concerning me.
\v 26 Yet you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
\s5
\v 27 My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
\v 28 I give to them eternal life; they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
\s5
\v 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all others, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
\v 30 I and the Father are one."
\v 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
\s5
\v 32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of those works are you stoning me?"
\v 33 The Jews answered him, "We are not stoning you for any good work, but for blasphemy, because you, a man, are making yourself God."
\s5
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods'"?
\v 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken),
\v 36 do you say about him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?
\s5
\v 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe me.
\v 38 However, if I am doing them, even if you do not believe me, believe in the works so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and that I am in the Father."
\v 39 They tried again to seize Jesus, but he went away out of their hand.
\s5
\p
\v 40 Jesus went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and he stayed there.
\v 41 Many people came to Jesus. They kept saying, "John indeed did no signs, but all the things that John has said about this man are true."

\p
\v 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised from the dead.
\v 2 So they made him a supper there, and Martha was serving, while Lazarus was one of those who sat at table with Jesus.
\v 3 Then Mary took a litra of perfume made of pure nard, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and wiped his feet with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
\s5
\v 4 Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who would betray Jesus, said,
\v 5 "Why was not this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"
\v 6 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief: he had charge of the moneybag and would take some of what was in it for himself.
\s5
\v 7 Jesus said, "Allow her to keep what she has for the day of my burial.
\v 8 The poor you will always have with you; but you will not always have me."
\s5
\p
\v 9 Now a large crowd of the Jews learned that Jesus was there, and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but so that they might also see Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
\v 10 The chief priests conspired together so that they might also put Lazarus to death;
\v 11 for it was because of him that many of the Jews went away and believed on Jesus.
\s5
\p
\v 12 On the next day a great crowd came to the festival. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
\v 13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
\s5
\v 14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it; as it was written,
\v 15 "Do not fear, daughter of Zion; see, your King is coming, sitting on the young of a donkey."
\s5
\v 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things had been written about him and that they had done these things to him.
\s5
\v 17 Now the crowd that had been with Jesus when he had called Lazarus out of the tomb and had raised him from the dead, bore witness to others.
\v 18 It was also for this reason that the crowd went out to meet him because they heard that he had done this sign.
\v 19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "Look, you can do nothing; see, the world has gone after him."
\s5
\p
\v 20 Now certain Greeks were among those who were going up to worship at the festival.
\v 21 These went to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."
\v 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip, and they told Jesus.
\s5
\v 23 Jesus answered them and said, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
\v 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it will bear much fruit.
\s5
\v 25 He who loves his life will lose it; but he who hates his life in this world will keep it for everlasting life.
\v 26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
\s5
\v 27 My soul is troubled now: what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? But for this reason I came to this hour.
\v 28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came out of heaven and said, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again."
\v 29 Then the crowd that stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
\s5
\v 30 Jesus answered and said, "This voice has not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
\v 31 Now is the judgment of this world: Now will the prince of this world be driven out.
\s5
\v 32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."
\v 33 He said this to signify by what manner of death he would die.
\s5
\v 34 The crowd answered him, "We have heard from the law that the Christ will remain forever. How can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up'? Who is this Son of Man?"
\v 35 Jesus then said to them, "Yet a little while longer is the light among you. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
\v 36 While you have the light, believe in the light so that you may become sons of light."
\p Jesus said these things and then departed and hid from them.
\s5
\v 37 Although Jesus had done so many signs in front of them, yet they did not believe in him
\v 38 so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said:
\q "Lord, who has believed our report?
\q And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
\m
\s5
\v 39 For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
\q
\v 40 "He has blinded their eyes, and he has hardened their hearts;
\q otherwise they would see with their eyes and would perceive with their hearts,
\q and would turn,
\q and I would heal them."
\m
\s5
\v 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke of him.
\v 42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in Jesus; but because of the Pharisees, they did not admit it so that they would not be banned from the synagogue.
\v 43 They loved the praise that comes from people more than the praise that comes from God.
\s5
\p
\v 44 Jesus cried out and said, "The one who believes in me, believes not only in me but also in him who sent me,
\v 45 and the one who sees me sees him who sent me.
\s5
\v 46 I have come as a light into the world so that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
\v 47 If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I have come, not to judge the world, but to save the world.
\s5
\v 48 The one who rejects me and who does not receive my words has one who judges him: it is the word that I have spoken which will judge him on the last day.
\v 49 For I did not speak of my own accord. Instead, it is the Father who sent me, who has given me the command about what I should say and what I should speak.
\v 50 I know that his command is life everlasting; so that thing that I say—just as the Father has said them to me, so I say to them."

\p
\v 1 Now before the Festival of the Passover, because Jesus knew that his hour had come that he should go out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
\v 2 Now the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus.
\s5
\v 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given all things over into his hands and that he had come from God and was going back to God.
\v 4 He rose from supper and laid down his outer clothing. Then he took a towel and wrapped it around himself.
\v 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that he had put around himself.
\s5
\v 6 He came to Simon Peter, and Peter said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
\v 7 Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will understand it later."
\v 8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you can have no part with me."
\v 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, do not wash my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed does not need to wash anything but his feet, and he is entirely clean; you are clean, but not all of you."
\v 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean."
\s5
\p
\v 12 When Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and had sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done for you?
\v 13 You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you say right, for so I am.
\v 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.
\v 15 For I have given you an example so that you also should do as I have done for you.
\s5
\v 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; neither is the one who has been sent greater than the one who sent him.
\v 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
\v 18 I am not speaking about all of you, for I know those whom I have chosen—but I say this so that the scripture may be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.'
\s5
\v 19 I tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
\v 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives me receives whomever I send, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me."
\s5
\p
\v 21 When Jesus said this, he was troubled in the spirit, he testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray me."
\v 22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he was speaking.
\s5
\v 23 There was at the table reclining against Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.
\v 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to this disciple and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he is speaking."
\v 25 That disciple leaned back against Jesus’ breast and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
\s5
\v 26 Then Jesus answered, "He it is for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him." So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
\v 27 And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. Jesus then said to him, "What you are about to do, do it quickly."
\s5
\v 28 Now no one at the table knew the reason that Jesus said this to him.
\v 29 Some thought that, because Judas had charge of the money bag, Jesus said to him, "Buy the things we need for the festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
\v 30 After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.
\s5
\p
\v 31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, "Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
\v 32 God will glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
\v 33 Little children, I am with you for still a little while. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I say this to you, also.
\s5
\v 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
\v 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
\s5
\p
\v 36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you are not now able to follow, but you will follow afterwards."
\v 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you even now? I will lay down my life for you."
\v 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times."

\v 9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, do not wash my feet only, but also my hands and my head."
\s5
\v 10 Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed does not need to wash anything but his feet, and he is entirely clean; you are clean, but not all of you."
\v 11 For Jesus knew who would betray him; that is why he said, "Not all of you are clean."
\s5
\p
\v 12 When Jesus had washed their feet and taken his garments and had sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done for you?
\v 13 You call me 'teacher' and 'Lord,' and you say right, for so I am.
\v 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
\v 15 For I have given you an example so that you also should do as I have done for you.
\s5
\v 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; neither is the one who has been sent greater than the one who sent him.
\v 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.
\v 18 I am not speaking about all of you, for I know those whom I have chosen—but I say this so that the scripture may be fulfilled: 'He who eats my bread lifted up his heel against me.'
\s5
\v 19 I tell you this now before it happens so that when it happens, you may believe that I AM.
\v 20 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives me receives whomever I send, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me."
\s5
\p
\v 21 When Jesus said this, he was troubled in the spirit, he testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you that one of you will betray me."
\v 22 The disciples looked at each other, wondering of whom he was speaking.
\s5
\v 23 There was at the table reclining against Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved.
\v 24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to this disciple and said, "Tell us who it is of whom he is speaking."
\v 25 That disciple leaned back against Jesus' breast and said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
\s5
\v 26 Then Jesus answered, "He it is for whom I will dip the piece of bread and give it him." So when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
\v 27 And after the bread, then Satan entered into him. Jesus then said to him, "What you are about to do, do it quickly."
\s5
\v 28 Now no one at the table knew the reason that Jesus said this to him.
\v 29 Some thought that, because Judas had charge of the money bag, Jesus said to him, "Buy the things we need for the festival," or that he should give something to the poor.
\v 30 After Judas received the bread, he went out immediately; and it was night.
\s5
\p
\v 31 When Judas was gone, Jesus said, "Now the Son of man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
\v 32 God will glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.
\v 33 Little children, I am with you for still a little while. You will look for me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.' Now I say this to you, also.
\s5
\v 34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you should love one another; as I have loved you, so also you should love one another.
\v 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another."
\s5
\p
\v 36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "Where I am going, you are not now able to follow, but you will follow afterwards."
\v 37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow you even now? I will lay down my life for you."
\v 38 Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow before you have denied me three times."

\v 1 Jesus said these things; then he lifted his eyes up to the heavens and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son so that the Son may glorify you—
\v 2 just as you gave him authority over all flesh so that he should give everlasting life to all whom you have given him.
\s5
\v 3 This is everlasting life: that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.
\v 4 I glorified you on the earth, having accomplished the work that you have given me to do.
\v 5 Now, Father, glorify me along with your own self with the glory that I had with you before the world was created.
\s5
\v 6 I revealed your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.
\v 7 Now they know that whatever things you have given to me come from you,
\v 8 for the words that you gave me—I have given these words to them. They received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
\s5
\v 9 I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
\v 10 All things that are mine are yours, and your things are mine; I am glorified in them.
\v 11 I am no longer in the world, but these people are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me so that they may be one, just as we are one.
\s5
\v 12 While I was with them, I kept them in your name that you have given me; I guarded them, and not one of them has perished, except the son of perdition, so that the scriptures might be fulfilled.
\v 13 Now I am coming to you; but I am speaking these things in the world so that they may have my joy made full in themselves.
\v 14 I have given them your word; the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
\s5
\v 15 I do not pray that you should take them from the world but that you should keep them from the evil one.
\v 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

\v 18 You sent me into the world, and I have sent them into the world.

\v 21 so that they may all be one, even as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you. I pray that they also may be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
\s5
\v 22 The glory that you have given me—I have given it to them, so that they may be one, just as we are one—
\v 23 I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you did send me, and loved them, even as you loved me.
\s5
\v 24 Father, that which you have given to me—I desire that they also may be with me where I am so that they may see my glory, which you have given to me: for you have loved me since before the foundation of the world.
\s5
\v 25 Righteous Father, the world did not know you, but I know you; and these know that you sent me.

\v 1 After Jesus spoke these words, he went out with his disciples over the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden into which he entered, he and his disciples.
\v 2 Now Judas, who was going to betray him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
\v 3 Then Judas, having received the group of soldiers and the officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
\s5
\v 4 Then Jesus, who knew all the things that were happening to him, went forward and asked them, “For whom are you looking?”
\v 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am.” Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers.
\s5
\v 6 So when he said to them, “I am,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
\v 7 Then again he asked them, “For whom are you looking?” Again they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
\s5
\v 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he; so if you are looking for me, let these others go.”
\v 9 This was so that the word might be fulfilled that he said: “Of those whom you have given me, I lost not one.”
\s5
\v 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.
\v 11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword back into its sheath. The cup that the Father has given me, should I not drink it?”
\s5
\p
\v 12 So the group of soldiers and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, seized Jesus and bound him.
\v 13 They led him first to Annas, for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was high priest that year.
\v 14 Now Caiaphas was the one who had given the advice to the Jews that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
\s5
\p
\v 15 Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and he entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest;
\v 16 but Peter was standing at the door outside. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the woman servant who was guarding the door and brought in Peter.
\s5
\v 17 Then the woman servant guarding the door said to Peter, “Are you not also one of this man’s disciples?” He said, “I am not.”
\v 18 Now the servants and the officers were standing there; they had made a fire of coals, for it was cold, and they were warming themselves. Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
\s5
\p
\v 19 The high priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.
\v 20 Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world; I was always teaching in synagogues and in the temple where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in private.
\v 21 Why did you ask me? Ask those who have heard me about what I said. These people know the things that I said.”
\s5
\v 22 When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand and said, “Is that how you should answer the high priest?”
\v 23 Jesus answered him, “If I have said anything bad, bear witness to the evil. However, if I have answered well, why do you strike me?”
\v 24 Annas then sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.
\s5
\p
\v 25 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. The people then said to him, “Are you not also one of his disciples?” He denied it and said, “I am not.”
\v 26 One of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, “Did I not I see you in the garden with him?”
\v 27 Peter then denied again, and immediately the rooster crowed.
\s5
\p
\v 28 Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early in the morning, and they themselves did not enter the Praetorium so that they might not be defiled and so that they might eat the Passover.
\v 29 So Pilate went out to them and said, “What accusation are you bringing against this man?”
\v 30 They answered and said to him, “If this man were not an evil doer, we would not have delivered him up to you.”
\s5
\v 31 Pilate therefore said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put any man to death.”
\v 32 They said this so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, the word that he had said that indicated by what kind of death he would die.
\s5
\p
\v 33 Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again and called Jesus; he said to him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
\v 34 Jesus answered, “Are you asking this of your own accord, or did others tell you to ask it of me?”
\v 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me; what have you done?”
\s5
\v 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, then my servants would fight so that I should not be delivered to the Jews. Actually my kingdom does not come from here.”
\v 37 Pilate then said to him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this purpose I have been born, and for this purpose I have come into the world so that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”
\s5
\v 38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” When he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no crime in this man.
\v 39 You have the custom that I should release to you one man at the Passover. So do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
\v 40 Then they cried out again and said, “Not this man, but Barabbas.” Now Barabbas was a robber.

\v 1 Then Pilate took Jesus and whipped him.
\v 2 The soldiers twisted thorns together to make a crown. They put it on Jesus' head and dressed him in a purple garment.
\v 3 They came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they struck him with their hands.
\s5
\v 4 Then Pilate went out again and said to the people, “See, I am bringing the man out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”
\v 5 Jesus therefore came out; he was wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Then Pilate said to them, “See, here is the man!”
\v 6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they cried out and said, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him.”
\s5
\v 7 The Jews answered Pilate, “We have a law, and by that law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God.”
\v 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was afraid even more,
\v 9 and he entered the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, “From where do you come?” However, Jesus gave him no answer.
\s5
\v 10 Pilate then said to him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?”
\v 11 Jesus answered him, “You would have had no power against me unless it had been given to you from above. So the person who delivered me to you has the greater sin.”
\s5
\v 12 At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out saying, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend: Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
\v 13 When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
\s5
\v 14 Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover, at about the sixth hour. Pilate said to the Jews, “See, here is your king!”
\v 15 They cried out, “Away with him, away with him; crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Should I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.”
\v 16 Then Pilate turned Jesus over to them to be crucified.
\s5
\p
\v 17 Then they took Jesus, and he went out, carrying the cross for himself, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha.
\v 18 They crucified Jesus there, and with him two other men, one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.
\s5
\v 19 Pilate also wrote a sign and put it on the cross. There it was written: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
\v 20 Many of the Jews read this sign because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city. The sign was written in Hebrew, in Latin, and in Greek.
\s5
\v 21 Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but rather that he said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
\v 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.”
\s5
\p
\v 23 After the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his garments and made four parts of them, a part for each soldier; and also the shirt. Now the shirt was without seams, woven from the top throughout.
\v 24 Then they said to each other, “Let us not tear it apart, but instead let us throw lots for it to see whose it will be.” This happened so that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
\q “They divided my garments among themselves,
\q and for my clothing they threw lots.”
\m
\s5
\v 25 The soldiers did these things. Jesus’ mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene—these women were standing by the cross of Jesus.
\v 26 When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Woman, see, here is your son!”
\v 27 Then he said to the disciple, “See, here is your mother!” From that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
\s5
\p
\v 28 After this Jesus, because he knew that all things are now finished, in order to make the scriptures come true, said, “I am thirsty.”
\v 29 A container full of sour wine had been place there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop staff and lifted it up to his mouth.
\v 30 When Jesus had taken the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
\s5
\p
\v 31 It was the Preparation, and in order that the bodies should not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), the Jews asked Pilate that the legs of the executed men be broken, and that their bodies might be taken down.
\v 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
\v 33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.
\s5
\v 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately out came blood and water.
\v 35 The one who saw this has borne witness, and his witness is true. He knows that what he said is true so that you also may believe.
\s5
\v 36 These things came about so that the scripture might be fulfilled, “Not one of his bones will be broken.”
\v 37 Again, another scripture says, “They will look at him whom they pierced.”
\s5
\p
\v 38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
\v 39 Nicodemus also came, he who at first had come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litras in weight.
\s5
\v 40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as was the custom of the Jews to bury bodies.
\v 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb in which no person had yet been buried.
\v 42 Because it was the day of preparation for the Jews and because the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus in it.
\s5

\v 5 Jesus therefore came out; he was wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. Then Pilate said to them, "See, here is the man!"
\v 6 When therefore the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they cried out and said, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no crime in him."
\s5
\v 7 The Jews answered Pilate, "We have a law, and by that law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God."
\v 8 When Pilate heard this statement, he was afraid even more,
\v 9 and he entered the Praetorium again and said to Jesus, "From where do you come?" However, Jesus gave him no answer.
\s5
\v 10 Pilate then said to him, "Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and power to crucify you?"
\v 11 Jesus answered him, "You would have had no power against me unless it had been given to you from above. So the person who delivered me to you has the greater sin."

\v 12 At this answer, Pilate tried to release him, but the Jews cried out saying, "If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend: Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."

\v 31 It was the Preparation, and in order that the bodies should not remain on the cross during the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), the Jews asked Pilate that the legs of the executed men be broken, and that their bodies might be taken down.
\v 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man and of the second man who had been crucified with Jesus.
\v 33 When they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they did not break his legs.

\v 34 However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately out came blood and water.
\v 35 The one who saw this has borne witness, and his witness is true. He knows that what he said is true so that you also may believe.

\v 36 These things came about so that the scripture might be fulfilled, "Not one of his bones will be broken."
\v 37 Again, another scripture says, "They will look at him whom they pierced."

\v 38 After these things Joseph of Arimathea, since he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission. So Joseph came and took away his body.
\v 39 Nicodemus also came, he who at first had come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred litras in weight.

\v 40 So they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the spices, as was the custom of the Jews to bury bodies.
\v 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden was a new tomb in which no person had yet been buried.
\v 42 Because it was the day of preparation for the Jews and because the tomb was close by, they laid Jesus in it.
