And we have seen, and do testify, that the Father hath sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
As Christ also once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust (that He might introduce us to God) being indeed put to death in the flesh, but raised to life by the Spirit:
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"
But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.
For He hath made Him, who knew no sin, to be a sin-offering for us, that in Him we might be made righteous before God.
so Christ, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear the second time without sin, to those who are waiting for Him, unto salvation.
Who Himself bare our sins in his own body on the cross, that we being dead to sins, might live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed.
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

And when He had said this, He shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Then saith He to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not incredulous, but believing.
But the pharisees went out of the synagogue and took counsel together against Him, how they might destroy Him:
and were consulting how they might take Jesus by treachery and put Him to death.
And as soon as it was morning all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, how to get Him executed:
And they were filled with confusion: and consulted together, what they might do to Jesus.
And He was teaching daily in the temple: but the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people sought to destroy Him;
And he went and conferred with the chief priests and the captains, how he might betray Him unto them.
And for this did the Jews persecute Jesus, and endeavoured to put Him to death; because He had done these things on the sabbath-day.
Therefore the chief priests and the pharisees held a council and said, What are we doing? for this man worketh many miracles.
From that day therefore they consulted together to put Him to death.
And the pharisees and sadducees came to Him, and captiously asked Him to shew them a sign from heaven.
And the pharisees came to Him to ensnare Him, and asked Him, whether it was lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Then the pharisees went and consulted how they might insnare Him in his discourse.
and the pharirisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring of Him a sign from heaven, tempting Him.
And the pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "if it were lawful for a man to put away his wife," tempting Him.
And they send to Him some of the pharisees, and of the Herodians to insnare Him in his discourse:
laying snares for Him, and endeavouring to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse Him.
And they watched Him and sent out spies, pretending to be righteous men, to lay hold of his words, that they might deliver Him up to the power and authority of the governor.
This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground.
And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples. And He said unto them, when ye pray, say, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done as in heaven so also upon earth; give us day by day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins,

for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine on his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him: and he from within shall answer and say, Do not be troublesome; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I cannot rise to give thee. I tell you, tho' he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend: yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he wants. And so I tell you, Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son ask bread of any father among you, will he give him a stone? and if he ask for a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a serpent? or if he ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint: saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man. And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.

And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out. And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith: and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them. I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Now as He was yet discoursing to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, and desired to speak to Him:
So his brethren and his mother came, and standing without sent to Him to call Him to them:
After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they staid there not many days.
his brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
For neither did his brethren believe in Him.

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
And when the pharisees saw it they said to Him, See, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful for them to do on the sabbath.

And the scribes and pharisees, when they saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, said to his disciples, What is the meaning that He eateth with publicans and sinners?
and when they saw some of his disciples eating with impure (that is, unwashed) hands, they found fault:

Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given me, may be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
and well-pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to dwell with the Lord.
for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is much preferable:

and he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
But in thus sinning against your brethren, and wounding their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ:

my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon Him, and He shall declare judgement to the nations: He shall not contend,
And as he was speaking, lo a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him.
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
to the praise of his glorious grace, whereby He hath made us acceptable in the Beloved:
So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made an high-priest; but He that said unto Him, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon Him, and He shall declare judgement to the nations: He shall not contend,

and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Whosoever then shall own me before men, I also will own him before my Father, who is in heaven:

and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than Abel.

But now He hath obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises.
And on this account He is the mediator of a new covenant, that undergoing death for the redemption of transgressions against the first covenant, they that are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance.

And He is the head of the body, which is the church: who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.
and hath put all things under his feet, and given Him to be head over all things to the church;
but holding the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, who is the head, even Christ:
for the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and the saviour of that body.
and not adhering to the head, from which all the body, being supplied and held together as by joints and bands, increaseth with the increase of God.
Know ye not that your bodies are members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of an harlot?
for we are members of his body, as if taken out of his flesh, and of his bones, as Eve was out of Adam's.
And thus, my brethren, ye also are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might become another's, even his who is raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy, having espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him that sent me.
If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye do know Him, and may be said to have seen Him. Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long with you, and dost thou not know me? Philip, he that hath seen me, hath seen the Father: and how then dost thou say, Shew us the Father?

Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? as to the words which I speak to you, I speak them not of my self; and the Father who abideth in me, doth the works.
All that the Father hath are mine: therefore I said, that He shall take of mine and shew it unto you.
for all the fulness of the deity dwelleth personally in Him.
And of his fulness have we all received, even grace for grace.

but powerfully declared to be the Son of God, according to the spirit of holiness, by his resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord;
(as ye yourselves also know,) Him being given up by the determinate counsel and fore-knowlege of God ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain. Whom God hath raised up again, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.

And according to his custom Paul went in among them, and for three sabbath-days discoursed to them from the scriptures; opening them and shewing, that the Messiah was to suffer and rise again from the dead: and that this is the Christ even, Jesus, whom, said he, I preach unto you.
and then pouring water into a bason, began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded.

By Him were all things made, and without Him was not any one thing made that was made.
and make all men to see the communication of the mystery, which from the ages past hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;
God, who at sundry times, and various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.
And He said, Go into the city, to such a man, and tell him, The master saith, my time is near, I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples: and the disciples did as Jesus ordered them,

And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to be glorified.
Now before the feast of the passover, (Jesus knowing that his hour was come, when He should pass out of this world unto the Father, as He had loved his own, who were yet in the world, He loved them unto the end:)
When Jesus had spoken these words, He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said,--- "Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify Thee:

but there is another who testifieth concerning me; and I know that the testimony, which he giveth concerning me, is true.
And the Father who sent me, hath Himself borne witness of me: and yet ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.
Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.

And Jesus said unto them, Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn, while the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then they will fast.

Whence also it is said in scripture, Behold I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, choice and precious: and he that confideth on it shall not be ashamed.

and if ye keep my commandments ye will continue in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love.
but that the world may know that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father hath commanded me. Arise, let us go hence.
For as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners; so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous.

"Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.)
I Jesus have sent my messenger to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am both the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

For to you it is granted as a favor from Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for his sake:
For we, who are yet living, are always exposed to death for the sake of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.
And therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, and in straits for the sake of Christ: for when I am thus weak, then am I made strong.
and they cried out, saying, What have we to do with Thee, Jesus thou Son of God? Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?

But when Jesus heard it, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. Therefore when He heard that Lazarus was sick, He stayed indeed two days in the place where He was: and after that He saith to his disciples, Let us go again into Judea. The disciples say unto Him, Master, the Jews very lately attempted to stone thee, and art thou going thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any man walk in the day, he doth not stumble; for he seeth the light of this world: but if any one walk in the night, he stumbleth; because he hath no light. Having thus answered them, He afterwards saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; but I am going to awake him. Therefore his disciples said, Lord, if he sleep, he will do well. But Jesus spake of his death; though they thought that He was speaking of the refreshment of sleep. Then Jesus said to them plainly, Lazarus is dead: and I am glad for your sakes, I was not there, that ye may believe: but let us go to him. Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. And when Jesus came, He found that he had been four days in the grave. Now Bethany was near to Jerusalem, being but about fifteen furlongs from it: and many of the Jews were come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him: but Mary was sitting in the house. And Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know that even now whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God will grant it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus then told her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth on me, though he were dead, shall live again. And every one that is alive, and believeth in me, shall never die. Dost thou believe this? She saith unto Him, Yes, Lord, I believe that thou art the Messiah, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister, telling her privately, The Master is coming and calleth for thee. As soon as she heard it, she gets up with all speed and comes to Him. For Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. The Jews therefore that were with her in the house to comfort her, seeing Mary that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She is going to the grave to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was and saw Him, fell down at his feet, saying unto Him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Jesus therefore, when He saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping, that came with her, groaned in spirit and was troubled. And He said, Where have ye laid him? They say unto Him, Lord, come and see: and Jesus wept. The Jews therefore said, Behold, how he loved him! but some of them said, Could not He, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused also that this man should not have died? Jesus therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the sepulchre: which was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto Him, Lord, by this time he is offensive; for it is the fourth day. Jesus saith unto her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou believest, thou shalt see the glory of God? So they took away the stone from the place where the corpse was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank Thee, that Thou hast heard me. I knew indeed that Thou always hearest me: but because of the people standing by I say this, that they may believe that Thou hast sent me. And when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that had been dead came forth, having his feet and hands rolled up in grave-cloths: and his face bound about with a napkin. Then Jesus bid them, Loosen him and let him go.
