If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?

For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.

Then the sailors were full of fear, every man crying to his god; and the goods in the ship were dropped out into the sea to make the weight less. But Jonah had gone down into the inmost part of the ship where he was stretched out in a deep sleep.

And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.

So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.

And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:

And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;

And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.

He was shining like the light; he had rays coming out from his hand: there his power was kept secret.

You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.

She gave no attention to the voice, she had no use for teaching, she put no faith in the Lord, she did not come near to her God.

I have had the nations cut off, their towers are broken down; I have made their streets a waste so that no one goes through them: destruction has overtaken their towns, so that there is no man living in them.

Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.

Then Haggai, whom the Lord had sent to give his words to the people, said, I am with you, says the Lord.

For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel. Then he said in answer to me, These seven lights are the eyes of the Lord which go quickly up and down through all the earth.

And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

Now they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech to make a request for grace from the Lord,

And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.

But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.

And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer.

Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back.

And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.

You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?

Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

And the son of Jesse was David the king; and the son of David was Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah;

And after the taking away to Babylon, Jechoniah had a son Shealtiel; and Shealtiel had Zerubbabel;

And Zerubbabel had Abiud; and Abiud had Eliakim; and Eliakim had Azor;

And Azor had Zadok; and Zadok had Achim; and Achim had Eliud;

And Eliud had Eleazar; and Eleazar had Matthan; and Matthan had Jacob;

And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.

And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

And they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying openly that they had done wrong.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

But I say to you that everyone whose eyes are turned on a woman with desire has had connection with her in his heart.

And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

And in the evening, they took to him a number of people who had evil spirits; and he sent the spirits out of them with a word, and made well all who were ill;

And when he had got into a boat, his disciples went after him.

And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

And they took to him a man stretched on a bed who had no power of moving; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man who was ill, Son, take heart; you have forgiveness for your sins.

But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

And when the evil spirit had been sent out, the man had the power of talking: and they were all surprised, saying, Such a thing has never been seen in Israel.

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

Then he went on to say hard things to the towns where most of his works of power were done, because they had not been turned from their sins.

Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.

And you, Capernaum, were you not to be lifted up to heaven? you will go down into hell: for if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been here to this day.

But he said to them, Have you no knowledge of what David did when he had need of food, and those who were with him?

But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

Then they took to him one with an evil spirit, who was blind and had no power of talking: and he made him well so that he had the power of talking and seeing.

And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

And the works of power which he did there were small in number because they had no faith.

For Herod had taken John and put him in prison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife.

Because John had said to him, It is not right for you to have her.

And he sent and had John's head cut off in the prison.

And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

And straight away he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, till he had sent the people away.

And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.

And when they had got into the boat, the wind went down.

And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.

Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.

Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.

And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.
