And when thou prayest, be not as the hypocrites: for they love standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, to pray, that they may make a shew to men. Verily I say unto you, That they have their reward.

But when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and shut thy door, to pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

And Jesus said to him, See thou tell no man; but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony unto them.

Nor do they put new wine into old bottles: but if they do, the bottles burst, and the wine is spilt, and the bottles are destroyed: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies:

Then were the chief priests and scribes, and the elders of the people gathered together in the palace of the high-priest, called Caiaphas.

And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear.

Then they who had apprehended Jesus, brought him to Caiaphas the high-priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled.

But Peter followed him at a great distance unto the palace of the high-priest, and entering in, sat down with the servants, to see the issue.

And the high-priest rising up, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against thee?

But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him, said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art the Messiah, the Son of God.

Then the high-priest rent his garments, saying, he hath blasphemed: what farther need have we of witnesses? lo! now ye have heard his blasphemy:

and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; but if otherwise, the new wine will burst the bottles, and the wine will be spilt, and the bottles destroyed: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

How he entered into the house of God to Abiathar the high-priest; and did eat the shewbread, which it was not lawful for any to eat except the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?

for he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains were burst asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no man was able to master him:

For from within out of the heart of men proceed wicked reasonings, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

And one particular person of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

And they led Jesus unto the high-priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes.

And Peter followed him at a distance, until he came into the palace of the high-priest: and was seated with the servants, and warming himself at the fire.

So the high-priest rising up in the midst interrogated Jesus, Answerest thou nothing? What is it that these witness against thee?

But he kept silence, and made them not a word of reply. Again the high-priest questioned him, and said to him, Art thou the Messiah, the Son of the blessed?

Then the high-priest rent his clothes, and said, What farther need have we of witnesses?

And as Peter was in the hall, at the lower end, there came to him one of the high-priest's maid-servants:

There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abiah: and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth.

Instantly then his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he burst out in praises to God.

And he commanded him to tell no man: but go shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, as Moses enjoined, for a testimony unto them.

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; for if he doth, the new wine will burst the bottles, and it will itself be spilled, and the bottles be destroyed.

And it so fell out, that a certain priest went down that way, and seeing him, he kept the opposite side of the road.

And the tax-gatherer standing at a distance, would not even so much as lift his eyes heaven-ward, but smote on his breast, saying, May God accept the atonement for me a sinner!

And one of them struck at a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.

Then seizing upon him, they led him away, and brought him into the palace of the high-priest. But Peter followed at a distance.

And he leaning on the breast of Jesus, said to him, Lord, which is it?

Then Simon Peter having a sword, drew it, and struck a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was Malchas.

and led him away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law to Caiaphas, who was the high-priest of that year.

Now Simon Peter had followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was acquainted with the high-priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high-priest.

But Peter stood without at the door. Then that other disciple, who was acquainted with the high-priest, went out, and spoke to the porteress, and introduced Peter.

The high-priest then questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and respecting his doctrine.

As he was thus speaking, one of the servants who stood by him gave Jesus a slap on the face, saying, Dost thou answer the high-priest in this fashion?

Now Annas had sent him bound to Caiaphas the high-priest.

One of the servants of the high-priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, Did I not see thee in the garden with him?

This man indeed accordingly purchased a spot of ground with the wages of iniquity; and projected forward, he burst in the midst, and all his bowels fell out.

and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were the high-priest's relations.

Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with zeal,

Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.

Now when they heard these words, both the priest and captain of the temple and the chief priests were in the utmost perplexity concerning these things, what could be the meaning of it.

But when they had conducted them, they placed them in the sanhedrim: and the high-priest interrogated them,

THEN said the high-priest, Are these things so?

BUT Saul, still breathing out threatenings and murder against the disciples of the Lord, applying to the high-priest,

Then the priest of Jupiter, who was the presiding deity of their city, brought bulls and garlands unto the gates of the city, and intended to offer a sacrifice with the people.

And they were seven sons of Sceva a Jew, a chief priest, who did this.

But when they knew he was a Jew, one shout burst from all, crying for about the space of two hours, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.

As also the high-priest will bear me witness, and all the body of elders: from whom also having received letters unto the brethren, I went unto Damascus, to bring those who were there in chains unto Jerusalem, that they might be punished.

So on the morrow, desirous to know of a certainty what it was of which he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him from the bonds, and commanded the high-priest and all the sanhedrim to appear, and bringing Paul down, set him before them.

Then the high-priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

Then they who stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high-priest?

And Paul said, I had not observed, brethren, that he was high-priest: for it is written, "Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people."

SO after five days Ananias the high-priest went down with the elders, and a certain rhetorician, Tertullus, who made their appearance before the governor against Paul.

And the high-priest and the principal persons among the Jews informed him against Paul, and entreated him,

against whom when I was at Jerusalem, the high-priest and the elders of the Jews appeared, desiring judgment against him.

boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

whenever I proceed on my journey into Spain, I will come unto you: for I hope on my journey to see you, and by you to be forwarded thither, after I shall have first, in a measure, fully enjoyed your society.

For it is written, "Rejoice, thou barren who bearest not, cry out and shout for joy, thou that travailest not, for more are the children of her that was desolate, than of her which had an husband."

Let no loose discourse proceed out of your mouth, but whatever is good for useful edification, that it may communicate grace to the hearers.

But profane vain bablings avoid: for they will proceed to greater lengths of impiety.

But they shall not proceed to the uttermost; for their infatuation shall be evident to all men, as theirs also was.

But wicked men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and deceived.

Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people:

WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ;

Having then a great high-priest passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the confession.

For we have not an high-priest incapable of a fellow-feeling with our infirmities, but one tempted in all points, in exact resemblance with ourselves, sin excepted.

FOR, every high-priest taken from among men, is constituted on behalf of men for those services which relate to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee."

As he saith also in another passage, "Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;"

publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.

into which the forerunner for us is entered, even Jesus, made after the order of Melchisedec an high-priest for ever.

FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever.

If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

and it is yet more abundantly evident, that there should arise another priest after the likeness of Melchisedec,

For the testimony is, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Moreover, forasmuch as he was not [made priest] without an oath,

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

For such an high-priest was suitable to us, holy, inoffensive, spotless, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

NOW the summary of the things spoken is this: we have such an high-priest, who hath taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens;

For every high-priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this person also have somewhat to offer.

For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, there being priests who offer gifts according to the law;

but into the second once in every year entered the high-priest alone, not without blood, which he offered for his own inadvertencies, and for those of the people:

But Christ becoming the high-priest of future good things, through a better and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation;

and not that he should often offer up himself in sacrifice, as the high-priest enters every year into the holies with blood not his own,

And every priest standeth indeed daily performing the divine service, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which cannot possibly take away sins:

and having a great priest over the house of God,

For the bodies of those beasts are burnt without the camp, whose blood for a sin offering is brought into the holy of holies by the high-priest.

especially such as walk after the flesh in the eager pursuit of defilement, and despise government. Daring, self-sufficient, they tremble not at dignities, railing against them.
