{To whom could you be compared, whether in glory or in majesty} among the trees of Eden?

That is Pharaoh and {his entire} crowd!" {declares} the Lord Yahweh.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold {all at once} broke into pieces and they became like chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away and any trace of them could not be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and it filled the whole earth.

Then the magicians, the conjurers, the {astrologers} and the diviners came in and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its explanation.

And now the wise men [and] the conjurers were brought in before me [so] that they could read this writing [in order to] make its explanation known to me, but they were not able to disclose the explanation of the matter.

Then the [other] administrators and satraps {began to seek} to find pretext against Daniel {in connection with the kingdom}, but they were not able to find any pretext and {corruption} {because} he was trustworthy, and no negligence or {corruption} {could be found in him}.

And I saw it approaching the ram and it was furious at it, and it struck the ram, and it broke its two horns, and {there was not strength in the ram to stand before him}, and he threw it down to the ground and trampled it, {and there was no one who could rescue the ram} from its power.

But the men rowed [hard] to bring [the ship] back to the dry land, and they could not [do so] because the sea {was growing more and more tempestuous} against them.

{And when the sun rose}, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head and he grew faint. {And he asked that he could die} and said, "My death [is] better than my life!"

Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! There is no end to the spoils, an abundance of {everything one could want}!

And summoning his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could expel [them] and could heal every disease and every sickness.

And behold, [there was] a man who had a withered hand, and they asked him, saying, "Is it permitted to heal on the Sabbath?" in order that they could accuse him.

But the Pharisees went out {and plotted} against him in order that they could destroy him.

Then a demon-possessed man [who was] blind and mute was brought to him. And he healed him so that the [man who was] mute could speak and see.

And the disciples said to him, "Where in [this] desolate place {can we get} so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?"

Then children were brought to him so that he could lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.

And he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here, not having wedding clothes?' But {he could say nothing}.

Then the Pharisees went {and consulted} so that they could entrap him with a statement.

and plotted in order that they could arrest Jesus by stealth and kill [him].

For this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor!"

And from that time on, he began seeking a favorable opportunity in order that he could betray him.

And he came again [and] found them sleeping, {for they could not keep their eyes open}.

Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false testimony against Jesus in order that they could put him to death.

Then he released Barabbas for them, but [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

And they were watching him closely [to see] if he would heal him on the Sabbath, in order that they could accuse him.

And the Pharisees went out immediately with the Herodians {and began to conspire} against him with regard to how they could destroy him.

For he had healed many, so that all those who {were suffering from diseases} pressed about him in order that they could touch him.

And he appointed twelve, so that they would be with him and so that he could send them out to preach

And [as] he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed began to implore him that he could go with him.

And taking the five loaves and the two fish [and] looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before them. And he distributed the two fish to [them] all.

And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.

In those days there was again a large crowd, and they did not have anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,

And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, [after he] had given thanks he broke [them] and began giving [them] to his disciples so that they could set [them] before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.

Then he placed his hands on his eyes again, and he opened his eyes and was cured, and could see everything clearly.

And often it has thrown him both into fire and into water, in order that it could destroy him. But if you are able [to do] anything, have compassion on us [and] help us!"

And they were bringing young children to him so that he could touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

And the chief priests and the scribes heard [it], and began considering how they could destroy him. For they were afraid of him because the whole crowd was astounded by his teaching.

And he sent a slave to the tenant farmers at the proper time, so that he could collect [some] of the fruit of the vineyard from the tenant farmers.

And they sent some of the Pharisees and the Herodians to him so that they could catch him unawares in a statement.

Now after two days it was the Passover and the feast of Unleavened Bread, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, [after] arresting him by stealth, they could kill [him].

For this perfumed oil could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor!" And they began to scold her.

She has done what she could; {she has anointed my body beforehand} for burial.

And [when] they heard [this], they were delighted, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how he could betray him conveniently.

And again he came [and] found them sleeping, {for they could not keep their eyes open}, and they did not know what to reply to him.

So Pilate, [because he] wanted {to satisfy} the crowd, released for them Barabbas. And [after] he had Jesus flogged, he handed [him] over so that he could be crucified.

And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him, and they led him out so that they could crucify him.

And [when] the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome purchased fragrant spices so that they could go [and] anoint him.

[that] we, being rescued from the hand of [our] enemies, could serve him without fear

And when eight days were completed {so that he could be circumcised}, he was named Jesus, his name [that] [he] was called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus so that they could do for him according to what was customary under the law,

And they stood up [and] forced him out of the town and brought him up to the edge of the hill on which their town was built, so that they could throw him down the cliff.

So the scribes and the Pharisees were watching closely [to see] if he would heal on the Sabbath, in order that they could find [a reason] to accuse him.

But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they could not understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about this statement.

But he answered [and] said to his father, 'Behold, so many years I have served you, and have never disobeyed your command! And you never gave me a young goat so that I could celebrate with my friends!

And he called out [and] said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he could dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering pain in this flame!'

for I have five brothers, so that he could warn them, in order that they also should not come to this place of torment!'

So the Lord said, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

Now they were bringing even [their] babies to him so that he could touch them. But [when] the disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

And he ran on ahead [and] climbed up into a sycamore tree so that he could see him, because he was going to go through [that way].

And it happened that when he returned [after] receiving the kingdom, he ordered these slaves to whom he had given the money to be summoned to him, so that he could know what they had gained by trading.

And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to [what] they were hearing from him.

And they watched [him] closely [and] sent spies who pretended they were upright, in order that they could catch him in a statement, so that they could hand him over to the authority and the jurisdiction of the governor.

And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they could destroy him, because they were afraid of the people.

And he went away [and] discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he could betray him to them.

And they began to debate with one another who then of them it could be who was going to do this.

This one came for a witness, in order that he could testify about the light, so that all would believe through him.

That one was not the light, but [came] in order that he could testify about the light.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem so that they could ask him, "Who are you?"

And I did not know him, but in order that he could be revealed to Israel, because of this I came baptizing with water."

(For his disciples had gone away into the town so that they could buy food.)

The one who was sick answered him, "Sir, I do not have anyone that, whenever the water is stirred up, could put me into the pool. But {while} I am coming, another goes down before me."

Philip replied to him, "Two hundred denarii [worth of] bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little."

Jesus replied, "Neither this man sinned nor his parents, but [it happened] so that the works of God could be revealed in him.

Then the Jews picked up stones again so that they could stone him.

Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the [surrounding] country before the Passover, so that they could purify themselves.

(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, they should report [it], in order that they could arrest him.)

Now a large crowd of Jews found out that he was there, and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they could see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.

Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to the governor's residence. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the governor's residence so that they would not be defiled, but could eat the Passover.

So then he handed him over to them in order that he could be crucified.

Then the Jews, because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was an important day), asked Pilate that their legs could be broken and they could be taken away.

Now there are also many other [things] that Jesus did, which--if they were written down one after the other--I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.

[and] asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he could bring [them] tied up to Jerusalem.

So Saul got up from the ground, but [although] his eyes were open he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought [him] into Damascus.

And all who heard [him] were amazed, and were saying, "Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem [on] those who call upon this name, and had come here for this [reason], that he could bring them tied up to the chief priests?"

But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him.

For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not be [having] to spend time in Asia. For he was hurrying if it could be possible for him to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

as indeed the high priest and the whole council of elders can testify about me, from whom also I received letters to the brothers in Damascus, [and] was traveling [there] to lead away those who were there also tied up to Jerusalem so that they could be punished.

And [because] the harbor was unsuitable for spending the winter in, the majority decided on a plan to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could arrive at Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing toward the southwest and toward the northwest, to spend the winter [there].
