And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:

And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

And from Janoah down to Ataroth, and to Naarah, and touching Jericho, it goes on to Jordan.

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.

In the days of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came and took Ijon and Abel-beth-maacah and Janoah and Kedesh and Hazor and Gilead and Galilee and all the land of Naphtali; and he took the people away to Assyria.

Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai and Shaphat in Bashan;

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.

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 they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.

And the Lord made ready a great fish to take Jonah into its mouth; and Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights.

Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said,

And at the Lord's order, the fish sent Jonah out of its mouth on to the dry land.

And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

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 Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.

But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.

Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.

And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.

Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

And the Lord said to Jonah, Have you any right to be angry about the vine? And he said, I have a right to be truly angry.

And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

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

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

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

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

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

And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:

And when they were going away, Jesus, talking of John, said to all the people, What went you out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

For all the prophets and the law were in force till John.

For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.

But he, answering, said to them, An evil and false generation is looking for a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah:

For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the stomach of the great fish, so will the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

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 would have put him to death, but for his fear of the people, because in their eyes John was a prophet.

And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

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

An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

Then the disciples saw that he was talking to them of John the Baptist.

The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

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

And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.

And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him.

But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

For John said to Herod, It is wrong for you to have your brother's wife.

For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

And she went out and said to her mother, What is my request to be? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

And hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.

But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.

And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,

John made answer, saying to them all, Truly, I give you baptism with water, but one is coming who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit, and with fire:

But Herod the king, because John had made a protest on account of Herodias, his brother's wife, and other evil things which Herod had done,

Did this most evil thing of all, and had John shut up in prison.

The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

And they said to him, The disciples of John frequently go without food, and make prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees; but your disciples take food and drink.

Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew

And the disciples of John gave him an account of all these things.

Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.
