Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whitewashed tombs, which without indeed appear beautiful, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and of all uncleanness.


For not again do we recommend ourselves to you, but giving you occasion for boasting over us, that ye might have for them boasting in face, and not in heart.

See ye things according to the face? If any has persuaded himself to be of Christ, let him reckon this again of himself, that, as he of Christ, so we also of Christ.

For if there come into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings on is fingers, in brilliant clothing, and there come in also a beggar in filthy clothing; And ye look toward him bearing the brilliant clothing, and ye say to him, Sit thou well here; and to the beggar ye say, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Were ye not separated among yourselves, and become judges of evil reflections?

And now the festival being in the midst, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, How knows he letters, not having learned Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his having sent me. read more.
If any desire to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself. He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment. Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? And, behold, he speaks in freedom of speech, and they say nothing to him. Not at any time knew the rulers truly, that this is truly Christ? But we know this whence he is: and Christ, when he should come, none knows whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple, teaching, and saying, And ye know me, and ye know whence I am: and I have not come of myself, but he having sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him; for I am from him, and he sent me. Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the crowd believed on him, and said, That Christ, when he should come, will he do more signs than these which he did? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things of him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent servants that they might seize him. Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time am I with you, and I retire to him having sent me. And ye shall seek me and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Where is he about to go, that we shall not find him? is he not about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is the word which he spake, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come? In the last day, the great one of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any thirst, let him come to me, and drink. He believing in me, as said the writing, from his belly shall flow rivers of living waters. (This spake he of the Spirit which they believing in him were about to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet; for Jesus was not yet honoured.) Then many of the crowd, having heard the word, said, This is truly a prophet. Others said, This is Christ: and others said, Yet Christ comes not out of Galilee. Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes? Then was there a division in the crowd on his account. And some of them wished to seize him; but none put hands upon him. Then came the servants to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why did ye not bring him And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man. Then the Pharisees answered them, Have ye not also been deceived Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed. Nicodemus says to them, (he having come to him by night, being one of them,) Our law judges not a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does. They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee. And each man went to his house.




Thou shalt not turn away Judgment; thou shalt not look upon and thou shalt not take a gift, for the gift will blind the eyes of the wise and will pervert the words of the just.

Thou shalt not be after multitudes for evil; thou shalt not answer for the multitude to stretch out after multitudes to pervert justice. And the poor one thou shalt not make proud in his cause.

Ye shall not do evil in judgment; thou shalt not take up the face of the poor; thou shalt not reverence the face of the great: in justice shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

Ye shall not look upon faces in judgment; as the small so the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is to God; and the word which shall be hard for you, ye shall bring to me and I heard it

To lift up the face of the unjust one is not good; to turn aside the just one in judgment.

Also these to the wise. To look upon the face in judgment is not good.



And I shall command your judges in that time, saying, Hear between your brethren, and judge justice between a man and between his brother and between his stranger. Ye shall not look upon faces in judgment; as the small so the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is to God; and the word which shall be hard for you, ye shall bring to me and I heard it

Ye shall not do evil in judgment; thou shalt not take up the face of the poor; thou shalt not reverence the face of the great: in justice shalt thou judge thy neighbor.

And he will set up judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, to city and city; And he will say to the judges, See ye what ye do: for not for man shall ye judge, but for Jehovah; and he with you in the word of judgment And now the fear of Jehovah shall be upon you: watch ye and do: for not iniquity with Jehovah our God, and lifting up of faces, and taking a gift

For if there come into your synagogue a man wearing gold rings on is fingers, in brilliant clothing, and there come in also a beggar in filthy clothing; And ye look toward him bearing the brilliant clothing, and ye say to him, Sit thou well here; and to the beggar ye say, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Were ye not separated among yourselves, and become judges of evil reflections?


And, behold, there was a man having the hand withered. And they asked him saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbaths? that they might expose him. And he said to them, Which of you shall be the man who shall have one sheep, and if this should fall into a pit in the sabbaths, will he not take hold of it, and raise it up? How much then does a man surpass a sheep? So that it is lawful to do well in the sabbaths. read more.
Then says he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out; and it was restored, sound as the other.

And he was teaching in one of the assemblies in the sabbaths. And, behold, there was a woman having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together, and not able wholly to lift up the head. And having seen her, Jesus called to, and said to her, Woman, thou hest been loosed from thy weakness. read more.
And he put his hands on her: and immediately she was set upright, and honoured God. And the ruler of the assembly having answered, feeling pain because Jesus cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd, Six days there are in which they ought to work; in those therefore, coming, be ye cured, and not the day of the sabbath. Then answered the Lord and said, Hypocrite, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and leading away, give to drink? And this being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold, eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond the day of the sabbath And he saying these things, all opposed to him were ashamed: and the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things done by him.

The man departed, and announced to the Jews that it is Jesus having made him well. And therefore the Jews drove out Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these in the sabbath. And Jesus answered, My Father works till now, and I work. read more.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, for not only did he loose the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

And, behold, a certain dropsical man was before him. And Jesus having answered, said to those skilled in the law and the Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbath? And they were silent. And having taken, he healed, and loosed him. read more.
And having answered, he said to them, Whose ass or ox of yours shall fall into a well, and will he not quickly pull it out on the sabbath day?

Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. read more.
Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment.


Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret.

And they come again to Jerusalem : and he walking in the temple, the chief priests, and scribes, and elders come to him, And say to him, By what power doest thou these things? and who gave thee this power that thou doest these things ? And Jesus having answered, said to them, And I will ask you one word, and answer ye me, and I will tell you by what power I do these things. read more.
Was the immersion of John from heaven, or from men ? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say, Wherefore did ye not believe him But if we say, Of men; they feared the people : for all held John, that he was truly a prophet. And having answered they say to Jesus, We know not. And Jesus having answered, says to them, Neither say I to you by what power I do these things.

And Jesus having answered, said, teaching in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David For David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit from my right hand, till I set thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. Therefore David himself calls him Lord; and whence is he his son? And a great crowd heard him willingly. read more.
And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment. And Jesus having sat over against the royal treasury, saw how the crowds cast money into the treasury: and many rich cast in much. And one poor widow, having come, cast in two small coins, which is a farthing. And having called his disciples, he says to them, Truly I say to you, That this poor widow has cast into the royal treasury, more than all they casting into the treasury: For all they cast in out of the abundance to them; and she, out of her want, cast in all things which she had, her whole living.

Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the writings might be completed.

After these, Jesus finds him in the temple, and he said to him, Behold, thou hest become well: sin no more, lest something worse be to thee. The man departed, and announced to the Jews that it is Jesus having made him well. And therefore the Jews drove out Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these in the sabbath. read more.
And Jesus answered, My Father works till now, and I work.

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech. Jesus answered them, I said to you, and ye believe not: the works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. read more.
But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then again lifted up the Jews stones that they might stone him. Jesus Answered them, Many good works I shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do ye stone me The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said; Ye are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the writing cannot be loosed; Whom the Father consecrated., and sent into the world, say ye that thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. And if I do, though ye believe me not, believe the works: that ye might know, and believe, that the Father in me, and I in him.
