And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon;

He restored the border of Israel from the entrance of Hamath as far as the sea of the plain, according to the word of Jehovah the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah the prophet, the son of Amittai, who was of Gath-Hepher.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.

Joel was the chief and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

Be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from thee unto us have come to Jerusalem; they are building the rebellious and the bad city, and they complete the walls and join up the foundations.

should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the peoples of these abominations? wouldest thou not be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor any to escape?

I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;

Woe unto them that add house to house, that join field to field, until there is no more room, and that ye dwell yourselves alone in the midst of the land!

Also the sons of the alien, that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast to my covenant;

They shall inquire concerning Zion, with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to Jehovah, in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thy hand.

And after the course of years they shall join affinity; and the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make equitable conditions: but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; and she shall be given up, she and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in those times.

And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah; and he went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish, from the presence of Jehovah.

And the mariners were afraid, and cried every one unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to be lightened of them. But Jonah had gone down into the lower part of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.

And they said each one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.

And they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from its raging.

And Jehovah prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

And Jonah prayed unto Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly;

And Jehovah commanded the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

And the word of Jehovah came unto Jonah the second time, saying,

And Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

And it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.

And Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.

And Jehovah Elohim prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his trouble. And Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, so that he fainted; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.

And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, unto death.

And many nations shall join themselves to Jehovah in that day, and shall be unto me for a people; and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto thee.

Now in those days comes John the baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,

And John himself had his garment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and wild honey.

Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised of him;

but John urgently forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptised of thee; and comest thou to me?

But having heard that John was delivered up, he departed into Galilee:

And going on thence he saw other two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the ship with Zebedee their father, mending their trawl-nets, and he called them;

Then come to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees often fast, but thy disciples fast not?

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,

And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.

But as they went away, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by the wind?

Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among the born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and the violent seize on it.

For all the prophets and the law have prophesied unto John.

For John has come neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.

and said to his servants, This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead, and because of this these works of power display their force in him.

For Herod had seized John, and had bound him and put him in prison on account of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother.

For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

But she, being set on by her mother, says, Give me here upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

And he sent and beheaded John in the prison;

And they said, Some, John the baptist; and others, Elias; and others again, Jeremias or one of the prophets.

And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart.

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the baptist.

The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?

but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but ye when ye saw it repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.

There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.

And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.

But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,

And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;

And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.

And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting; and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he gave them the surname of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder;

And he suffered no one to accompany him save Peter and James, and John the brother of James.

And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

But Herod when he heard it said, John whom I beheaded, he it is; he is risen from among the dead.

For the same Herod had sent and seized John, and had bound him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.

For John said to Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have the wife of thy brother.

for Herod feared John knowing that he was a just and holy man, and kept him safe; and having heard him, did many things, and heard him gladly.

And she went out, and said to her mother, What should I ask? And she said, The head of John the baptist.

And immediately going in with haste to the king, she asked saying, I desire that thou give me directly upon a dish the head of John the baptist.

And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.

And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter and James and John, and takes them up on a high mountain by themselves apart. And he was transfigured before them:

And John answered him saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, who does not follow us, and we forbad him, because he does not follow us.

And there come to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Teacher, we would that whatsoever we may ask thee, thou wouldst do it for us.

And the ten having heard of it, began to be indignant about James and John.

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

but should we say, Of men they feared the people; for all held of John that he was truly a prophet.

And as he sat on the mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.

But the angel said to him, Fear not, Zacharias, because thy supplication has been heard, and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

And his mother answering said, No; but he shall be called John.

And having asked for a writing-table, he wrote saying, John is his name. And they all wondered.

in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

But as the people were in expectation, and all were reasoning in their hearts concerning John whether he might be the Christ,

John answered all, saying, I indeed baptise you with water, but the mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to unloose; he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire;

added this also to all the rest, that he shut up John in prison.

of Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Janna, of Joseph,

and in like manner also on James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; henceforth thou shalt be catching men.

And they said to him, Why do the disciples of John fast often and make supplications, in like manner those also of the Pharisees, but thine eat and drink?

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

And the disciples of John brought him word concerning all these things:

and John, having called two of his disciples, sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

But the men having come to him said, John the baptist has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he that is coming, or are we to wait for another?

And Jesus answering said to them, Go, bring back word to John of what ye have seen and heard: that blind see, lame walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf hear, dead are raised, poor are evangelized;

And the messengers of John having departed, he began to speak to the crowds concerning John: What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken by the wind?

for I say unto you, Among them that are born of women a greater prophet is no one than John the baptist; but he who is a little one in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

(And all the people who heard it, and the tax-gatherers, justified God, having been baptised with the baptism of John;

For John the baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.
