Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying,

And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,

And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

And his disciples put questions to him about the point of the story.

Now this is the point of the story: The seed is the word of God.

And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

And there was a woman who had had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent, and was not able to make herself straight.

And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.

And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;

And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten.

And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

And while their faces were bent down to the earth in fear, these said to them, Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor.

Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

Then the band and the chief captain and the police took Jesus and put cords round him.

So when Jesus had taken the wine he said, All is done. And with his head bent he gave up his spirit.

For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.

Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;

And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

And coming to a point between two seas, they got the ship to land; and the front part was fixed in the sand and not able to be moved, but the back part was broken by the force of the waves.

Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.

For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

And in the middle of them one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to his feet, and with a band of gold round his breasts.
