There are men, Jews, that thou didst appoint over the business of the province of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego; these men set not an account to thee, O king: they served not to thy gods; and to the image of gold that thou didst set up they prostrated themselves not At that time Nebuchadnezzar in anger and wrath, said to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then they brought these men before the king. Nebuchadnemr answered and said to them, Is it on purpose O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego, ye not serving to my gods, and to the image of gold that I set up, ye not prostrating yourselves? Now if ye being prepared that in the time that ye shall hear the voice of the horn, the pipe, the harp, the lyre, the psaltery, and the bagpipe, and all sorts of music, ye shall fall and prostrate yourselves to the image that I made; and if ye shall not prostrate yourselves in the same moment, ye shall be cast into the midst of the furnace of flaming fire; and who that God that shall deliver you from my hands?

If it is, our God whom we served will be able to deliver us from the furnace of flaming fire, and from thy hand, O king, he will deliver us. And if not, it shall be made known to thee, O king, that to thy gods we serve not, and to the image of gold that thou didst set up we will not prostrate ourselves: In that time Nebuchadnezzar being filled with wrath, and the form of the visage was changed to him against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego: he answered and said to heat to the furnace one seven times above that it was seen to be heated. To the strong, the strong of strength that were in his army, he said to bind to Shadrach, Mesbach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the furnace of flaming fire.

Now, O king, wilt thou set up the interdict, and sign the writing, that not to be changed according to the law of Media and Persia, which shall not pass away. For this cause, king Darius signed the writing and the interdict And Daniel as soon as he knew that the writing was signed, went up into his house; and the windows being opened to him in his upper chambers before Jerusalem, three times in the day he kneeled upon his knees, and praying and praising before his God, for the cause that he did from before this Then these men ran together with tumult and found Daniel seeking and making supplication before his God.

At that time they answered, and saying before the king, That Daniel that is from the sons of the captivity of Judah set not up an account to thee, O king, and to the interdict that thou didst sign; and three times in the day he sought his requests. Then the king as soon as he heard the word, was greatly displeased with himself, and upon Daniel he set the heart to set him free: and even to the going down of the sun he was exerting himself to deliver him. At that time these men ran together with tumult to the king, and saying to the king, Know, O king, that the law to Media and Persia is, that every interdict and statute that the king shall set up is not to be changed. At that time the king said, and they brought Daniel and cast into the den of the lions; the king answered and said to Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest to him continually, he will set thee free. And one stone was brought and set upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his signet ring, and with the signet ring of his nobles, that the will shall not be changed upon Daniel. Then the king departed to his temple and passed the night fasting: and he brought not his concubines before him, and his sleep fled from him. At that time the king will rise in the dawn in the morning, and in haste he departed to the lion's den. And in his drawing near to the den he cried to Daniel with a strong voice, the king answered and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God whom thou servest to him continually, is he able to set thee free from the lion's den? Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever. My God sent his messenger and shut the mouth of the lions, and they hurt me not, for the cause that innocence was found to me; and also before thee, O king, I did no hurt. At that time the king rejoiced greatly for him, and to Daniel he said to be taken up from the den. And Daniel was taken up from the den, and any hurt was not found upon him, for he trusted in his God.

Then said certain of the Pharisees, This man is not from God, for he keeps not the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man do such signs? And a division was among them. They say to the blind again, What sayest thou of him, for he opened thine eyes? He said, That he is a prophet. Then the Jews believed not of him that he was blind, and saw again, until they called the parents of him having looked up. And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, whom ye say that be was born blind how then does be now see His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But how he now sees, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: he has age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. These said his parents, for they feared the Jews: for already had the Jews agreed, that if any should acknowledge him Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, That he has age; ask him. Then called they the man of a second time, who was blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful. He answered and said, If he be sinful, I know not: one thing I know, that, being blind, now I see. And again said they to him, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I told you already, and ye heard not: why wish ye to hear again? ye wish not also to be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God has spoken to Moses; but this, we know not whence he is. The man answered and said to them, For in this is it wonderful, that ye know not whence he is, and he opened mine eyes. And we know that God hears not the sinful: but if any be godly, and do his will, this he hears. From forever was it not heard that any opened the eyes of him born blind. If this one were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said to him, In sins wert thou wholly born, and teachest thou us? And they cast him without. Jesus heard that they cast him without; and having found him, said to him, Believest thou in the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe in him? And Jesus said to him, Thou hast also seen him, and he speaking with thee, the same is he. And he said I believe, Lord. And he worshipped him.
