btext:
And<WG1161> their<WG846> eyes<WG3788> were opened<WG1272>, and<WG2532> they knew<WG1921> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> he<WG846> vanished<WG1096><WG855> out of<WG575> their sight<WG846>. / vanished…: or, ceased to be seen of them


btext:
And<WG2532> they said<WG2036> one to another<WG4314><WG240>, Did<WG2258> not<WG3780> our<WG2257> heart<WG2588> burn<WG2545> within<WG1722> us<WG2254>, while<WG5613> he talked<WG2980> with us<WG2254> by<WG1722> the way<WG3598>, and<WG2532> while<WG5613> he opened<WG1272> to us<WG2254> the scriptures<WG1124>?


btext:
And<WG2532> they rose up<WG450> the same<WG846> hour<WG5610>, and returned<WG5290> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, and<WG2532> found<WG2147> the eleven<WG1733> gathered together<WG4867>, and<WG2532> them that were with<WG4862> them<WG846>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004><WG3754>, The Lord<WG2962> is risen<WG1453> indeed<WG3689>, and<WG2532> hath appeared<WG3700> to Simon<WG4613>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they<WG846> told<WG1834> what things were done in<WG1722> the way<WG3598>, and<WG2532> how<WG5613> he was known<WG1097> of them<WG846> in<WG1722> breaking<WG2800> of bread<WG740>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as they<WG846> thus<WG5023> spake<WG2980>, Jesus<WG2424> himself<WG846> stood<WG2476> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319> of them<WG846>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Peace<WG1515> be unto you<WG5213>.


btext:
But<WG1161> they were terrified<WG4422> and<WG2532> affrighted<WG1719><WG1096>, and supposed<WG1380> that they had seen<WG2334> a spirit<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Why<WG5101> are ye<WG2075> troubled<WG5015>? and<WG2532> why<WG1302> do thoughts<WG1261> arise<WG305> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> hearts<WG2588>?


btext:
Behold<WG1492> my<WG3450> hands<WG5495> and<WG2532> my<WG3450> feet<WG4228>, that<WG3754> it is<WG1510> I<WG1473> myself<WG846>: handle<WG5584> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> see<WG1492>; for<WG3754> a spirit<WG4151> hath<WG2192> not<WG3756> flesh<WG4561> and<WG2532> bones<WG3747>, as<WG2531> ye see<WG2334> me<WG1691> have<WG2192>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had thus<WG5124> spoken<WG2036>, he shewed<WG1925> them<WG846> his hands<WG5495> and<WG2532> his feet<WG4228>.


btext:
And<WG1161> while they<WG846> yet<WG2089> believed not<WG569> for<WG575> joy<WG5479>, and<WG2532> wondered<WG2296>, he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Have ye<WG2192> here<WG1759> any<WG5100> meat<WG1034>?


btext:
And<WG1161> they gave<WG1929> him<WG846> a piece<WG3313> of a broiled<WG3702> fish<WG2486>, and<WG2532> of<WG575> an honeycomb<WG3193><WG2781>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, These<WG3778> are the words<WG3056> which<WG3739> I spake<WG2980> unto<WG4314> you<WG5209>, while<WG5607> I was yet<WG2089> with<WG4862> you<WG5213>, that<WG3754> all things<WG3956> must<WG1163> be fulfilled<WG4137>, which<WG3588> were written<WG1125> in<WG1722> the law<WG3551> of Moses<WG3475>, and<WG2532> in the prophets<WG4396>, and<WG2532> in the psalms<WG5568>, concerning<WG4012> me<WG1700>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> opened he<WG1272> their<WG846> understanding<WG3563>, that they might understand<WG4920> the scriptures<WG1124>,


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Thus<WG3754><WG3779> it is written<WG1125>, and<WG2532> thus<WG3779> it behoved<WG1163> Christ<WG5547> to suffer<WG3958>, and<WG2532> to rise<WG450> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498> the third<WG5154> day<WG2250>:


btext:
And<WG2532> that repentance<WG3341> and<WG2532> remission<WG859> of sins<WG266> should be preached<WG2784> in<WG1909> his<WG846> name<WG3686> among<WG1519> all<WG3956> nations<WG1484>, beginning<WG756> at<WG575> Jerusalem<WG2419>.


btext:
And<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, I<WG1473> send<WG649> the promise<WG1860> of my<WG3450> Father<WG3962> upon<WG1909> you<WG5209>: but<WG1161> tarry<WG2523> ye<WG5210> in<WG1722> the city<WG4172> of Jerusalem<WG2419>, until<WG2193> ye<WG3739> be endued<WG1746> with power<WG1411> from<WG1537> on high<WG5311>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he led<WG1806> them<WG846> out<WG1854> as far as<WG2193> to<WG1519> Bethany<WG963>, and<WG2532> he lifted up<WG1869> his<WG846> hands<WG5495>, and blessed<WG2127> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> it came to pass<WG1096>, while<WG1722> he<WG846> blessed<WG2127> them<WG846>, he was parted<WG1339> from<WG575> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> carried up<WG399> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they<WG846> worshipped<WG4352> him<WG846>, and returned<WG5290> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419> with<WG3326> great<WG3173> joy<WG5479>:


btext:
And<WG2532> were<WG2258> continually<WG1275> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, praising<WG134> and<WG2532> blessing<WG2127> God<WG2316>. Amen<WG281>.


btext:
In<WG1722> the beginning<WG746> was<WG2258> the Word<WG3056>, and<WG2532> the Word<WG3056> was<WG2258> with<WG4314> God<WG2316>, and<WG2532> the Word<WG3056> was<WG2258> God<WG2316>.


btext:
All things<WG3956> were made<WG1096> by<WG1223> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> without<WG5565> him<WG846> was<WG1096> not<WG3761> any thing<WG1520> made<WG1096> that<WG3739> was made<WG1096>.


btext:
In<WG1722> him<WG846> was<WG2258> life<WG2222>; and<WG2532> the life<WG2222> was<WG2258> the light<WG5457> of men<WG444>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the light<WG5457> shineth<WG5316> in<WG1722> darkness<WG4653>; and<WG2532> the darkness<WG4653> comprehended<WG2638> it<WG846> not<WG3756>. / comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive


btext:
There was<WG1096> a man<WG444> sent<WG649> from<WG3844> God<WG2316>, whose<WG846> name<WG3686> was John<WG2491>.


btext:
The same<WG3778> came<WG2064> for<WG1519> a witness<WG3141>, to<WG2443> bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> the Light<WG5457>, that<WG2443> all<WG3956> men through<WG1223> him<WG846> might believe<WG4100>.


btext:
He was<WG2258> not<WG3756> that<WG1565> Light<WG5457>, but<WG235> was sent to<WG2443> bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> that Light<WG5457>.


btext:
That was<WG2258> the true<WG228> Light<WG5457>, which<WG3739> lighteth<WG5461> every man<WG3956><WG444> that cometh<WG2064> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>.


btext:
He was<WG2258> in<WG1722> the world<WG2889>, and<WG2532> the world<WG2889> was made<WG1096> by<WG1223> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> the world<WG2889> knew<WG1097> him<WG846> not<WG3756>.


btext:
He came<WG2064> unto<WG1519> his own<WG2398>, and<WG2532> his own<WG2398> received<WG3880> him<WG846> not<WG3756>.


btext:
But<WG1161> as many as<WG3745> received<WG2983> him<WG846>, to them<WG846> gave he<WG1325> power<WG1849> to become<WG1096> the sons<WG5043> of God<WG2316>, even to them that believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> his<WG846> name<WG3686>: / power: or, the right, or, privilege


btext:
Which<WG3739> were born<WG1080>, not<WG3756> of<WG1537> blood<WG129>, nor<WG3761> of<WG1537> the will<WG2307> of the flesh<WG4561>, nor<WG3761> of<WG1537> the will<WG2307> of man<WG435>, but<WG235> of<WG1537> God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the Word<WG3056> was made<WG1096> flesh<WG4561>, and<WG2532> dwelt<WG4637> among<WG1722> us<WG2254>, (and<WG2532> we beheld<WG2300> his<WG846> glory<WG1391>, the glory<WG1391> as<WG5613> of the only begotten<WG3439> of<WG3844> the Father<WG3962>,) full<WG4134> of grace<WG5485> and<WG2532> truth<WG225>.


btext:
John<WG2491> bare witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> cried<WG2896>, saying<WG3004>, This<WG3778> was he<WG2258> of whom<WG3739> I spake<WG2036>, He that cometh<WG2064> after<WG3694> me<WG3450> is preferred<WG1096> before<WG1715> me<WG3450>: for<WG3754> he was<WG2258> before<WG4413> me<WG3450>.


btext:
And<WG2532> of<WG1537> his<WG846> fulness<WG4138> have<WG2983> all<WG3956> we<WG2249> received<WG2983>, and<WG2532> grace<WG5485> for<WG473> grace<WG5485>.


btext:
For<WG3754> the law<WG3551> was given<WG1325> by<WG1223> Moses<WG3475>, but grace<WG5485> and<WG2532> truth<WG225> came<WG1096> by<WG1223> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547>.


btext:
No man<WG3762> hath seen<WG3708> God<WG2316> at any time<WG4455>; the only begotten<WG3439> Son<WG5207>, which<WG3588> is<WG5607> in<WG1519> the bosom<WG2859> of the Father<WG3962>, he<WG1565> hath declared<WG1834> him.


btext:
And<WG2532> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> the record<WG3141> of John<WG2491>, when<WG3753> the Jews<WG2453> sent<WG649> priests<WG2409> and<WG2532> Levites<WG3019> from<WG1537> Jerusalem<WG2414> to<WG2443> ask<WG2065> him<WG846>, Who<WG5101> art<WG1488> thou<WG4771>?


btext:
And<WG2532> he confessed<WG3670>, and<WG2532> denied<WG720> not<WG3756>; but<WG2532> confessed<WG3670><WG3754>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> not<WG3756> the Christ<WG5547>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they asked<WG2065> him<WG846>, What<WG5101> then<WG3767>? Art<WG1488> thou<WG4771> Elias<WG2243>? And<WG2532> he saith<WG3004>, I am<WG1510> not<WG3756>. Art<WG1488> thou<WG4771> that prophet<WG4396>? And<WG2532> he answered<WG611>, No<WG3756>. / that prophet: or, a prophet?


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Who<WG5101> art thou<WG1488>? that<WG2443> we may give<WG1325> an answer<WG612> to them that sent<WG3992> us<WG2248>. What<WG5101> sayest thou<WG3004> of<WG4012> thyself<WG4572>?


btext:
He said<WG5346>, I<WG1473> am the voice<WG5456> of one crying<WG994> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>, Make straight<WG2116> the way<WG3598> of the Lord<WG2962>, as<WG2531> said<WG2036> the prophet<WG4396> Esaias<WG2268>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they asked<WG2065> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Why<WG5101> baptizest thou<WG907> then<WG3767>, if<WG1487> thou<WG4771> be<WG1488> not<WG3756> that Christ<WG5547>, nor<WG3777> Elias<WG2243>, neither<WG3777> that prophet<WG4396>?


btext:
John<WG2491> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, I<WG1473> baptize<WG907> with<WG1722> water<WG5204>: but<WG1161> there standeth one<WG2476> among<WG3319> you<WG5216>, whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> know<WG1492> not<WG3756>;


btext:
He<WG846> it is<WG2076>, who<WG3739> coming<WG2064> after<WG3694> me<WG3450> is preferred<WG1096> before<WG1715> me<WG3450>, whose<WG3739><WG846> shoe's<WG5266> latchet<WG2438> I<WG1473> am<WG1510> not<WG3756> worthy<WG514> to<WG2443> unloose<WG3089>.


btext:
These things<WG5023> were done<WG1096> in<WG1722> Bethabara<WG962> beyond<WG4008> Jordan<WG2446>, where<WG3699> John<WG2491> was<WG2258> baptizing<WG907>.


btext:
The next day<WG1887> John<WG2491> seeth<WG991> Jesus<WG2424> coming<WG2064> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004>, Behold<WG2396> the Lamb<WG286> of God<WG2316>, which<WG3588> taketh away<WG142> the sin<WG266> of the world<WG2889>. / taketh away: or, beareth


btext:
This<WG3778> is he<WG2076> of<WG4012> whom<WG3739> I<WG1473> said<WG2036>, After<WG3694> me<WG3450> cometh<WG2064> a man<WG435> which<WG3739> is preferred<WG1096> before<WG1715> me<WG3450>: for<WG3754> he was<WG2258> before<WG4413> me<WG3450>.


btext:
And I<WG2504> knew<WG1492> him<WG846> not<WG3756>: but<WG235> that<WG2443> he should be made manifest<WG5319> to Israel<WG2474>, therefore<WG1223><WG5124> am<WG2064> I<WG1473> come<WG2064> baptizing<WG907> with<WG1722> water<WG5204>.


btext:
And<WG2532> John<WG2491> bare record<WG3140>, saying<WG3004><WG3754>, I saw<WG2300> the Spirit<WG4151> descending<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772> like<WG5616> a dove<WG4058>, and<WG2532> it abode<WG3306> upon<WG1909> him<WG846>.


btext:
And I<WG2504> knew<WG1492> him<WG846> not<WG3756>: but<WG235> he that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> to baptize<WG907> with<WG1722> water<WG5204>, the same<WG1565> said<WG2036> unto me<WG3427>, Upon<WG1909> whom<WG3739><WG302> thou shalt see<WG1492> the Spirit<WG4151> descending<WG2597>, and<WG2532> remaining<WG3306> on<WG1909> him<WG846>, the same<WG3778> is<WG2076> he which baptizeth<WG907> with<WG1722> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
And I<WG2504> saw<WG3708>, and<WG2532> bare record<WG3140> that<WG3754> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
Again<WG3825> the next day after<WG1887> John<WG2491> stood<WG2476>, and<WG2532> two<WG1417> of<WG1537> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>;


btext:
And<WG2532> looking upon<WG1689> Jesus<WG2424> as he walked<WG4043>, he saith<WG3004>, Behold<WG2396> the Lamb<WG286> of God<WG2316>!


btext:
And<WG2532> the two<WG1417> disciples<WG3101> heard<WG191> him<WG846> speak<WG2980>, and<WG2532> they followed<WG190> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> turned<WG4762>, and<WG2532> saw<WG2300> them<WG846> following<WG190>, and saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, What<WG5101> seek ye<WG2212><WG1161>? They said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Rabbi<WG4461>, (which<WG3739> is to say<WG3004>, being interpreted<WG2059>, Master<WG1320>,) where<WG4226> dwellest thou<WG3306>? / dwellest: or, abidest


btext:
He saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Come<WG2064> and<WG2532> see<WG1492>. They came<WG2064> and<WG2532> saw<WG1492> where<WG4226> he dwelt<WG3306>, and<WG2532> abode<WG3306> with<WG3844> him<WG846> that<WG1565> day<WG2250>: for<WG1161> it was<WG2258> about<WG5613> the tenth<WG1182> hour<WG5610>. / about…: that was two hours before night


btext:
One<WG1520> of<WG1537> the two<WG1417> which<WG3588> heard<WG191><WG3844> John<WG2491> speak, and<WG2532> followed<WG190> him<WG846>, was<WG2258> Andrew<WG406>, Simon<WG4613> Peter's<WG4074> brother<WG80>.


btext:
He<WG3778> first<WG4413> findeth<WG2147> his own<WG2398> brother<WG80> Simon<WG4613>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, We have found<WG2147> the Messias<WG3323>, which<WG3739> is<WG2076>, being interpreted<WG3177>, the Christ<WG5547>. / the Christ: or, the Anointed


btext:
And<WG2532> he brought<WG71> him<WG846> to<WG4314> Jesus<WG2424>. And<WG1161> when Jesus<WG2424> beheld<WG1689> him<WG846>, he said<WG2036>, Thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> Simon<WG4613> the son<WG5207> of Jona<WG2495>: thou<WG4771> shalt be called<WG2564> Cephas<WG2786>, which<WG3739> is by interpretation<WG2059>, A stone<WG4074>.


btext:
The day following<WG1887> Jesus<WG2424> would<WG2309> go forth<WG1831> into<WG1519> Galilee<WG1056>, and<WG2532> findeth<WG2147> Philip<WG5376>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Follow<WG190> me<WG3427>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> was<WG2258> of<WG575> Bethsaida<WG966>, the city<WG4172> of<WG1537> Andrew<WG406> and<WG2532> Peter<WG4074>.


btext:
Philip<WG5376> findeth<WG2147> Nathanael<WG3482>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, We have found<WG2147> him, of whom<WG3739> Moses<WG3475> in<WG1722> the law<WG3551>, and<WG2532> the prophets<WG4396>, did write<WG1125>, Jesus<WG2424> of<WG575> Nazareth<WG3478>, the son<WG5207> of Joseph<WG2501>.

And<WG2532> Nathanael<WG3482> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Can<WG1410> there any<WG5100> good thing<WG18> come<WG1511> out of<WG1537> Nazareth<WG3478>? Philip<WG5376> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Come<WG2064> and<WG2532> see<WG1492>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saw<WG1492> Nathanael<WG3482> coming<WG2064> to<WG4314> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> of<WG4012> him<WG846>, Behold<WG2396> an Israelite<WG2475> indeed<WG230>, in<WG1722> whom<WG3739> is<WG2076> no<WG3756> guile<WG1388>!


btext:
Nathanael<WG3482> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Whence<WG4159> knowest thou<WG1097> me<WG3165>? Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Before<WG4253> that Philip<WG5376> called<WG5455> thee<WG4571>, when thou wast<WG5607> under<WG5259> the fig tree<WG4808>, I saw<WG1492> thee<WG4571>.


btext:
Nathanael<WG3482> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Rabbi<WG4461>, thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>; thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> the King<WG935> of Israel<WG2474>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Because<WG3754> I said<WG2036> unto thee<WG4671>, I saw<WG1492> thee<WG4571> under<WG5270> the fig tree<WG4808>, believest thou<WG4100>? thou shalt see<WG3700> greater things<WG3187> than these<WG5130>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Hereafter<WG737><WG575> ye shall see<WG3700> heaven<WG3772> open<WG455>, and<WG2532> the angels<WG32> of God<WG2316> ascending<WG305> and<WG2532> descending<WG2597> upon<WG1909> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the third<WG5154> day<WG2250> there was<WG1096> a marriage<WG1062> in<WG1722> Cana<WG2580> of Galilee<WG1056>; and<WG2532> the mother<WG3384> of Jesus<WG2424> was<WG2258> there<WG1563>:


btext:
And<WG1161> both<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> was called<WG2564>, and<WG2532> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, to<WG1519> the marriage<WG1062>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they wanted<WG5302> wine<WG3631>, the mother<WG3384> of Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, They have<WG2192> no<WG3756> wine<WG3631>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Woman<WG1135>, what<WG5101> have I<WG1698> to do with<WG2532> thee<WG4671>? mine<WG3450> hour<WG5610> is<WG2240> not yet<WG3768> come<WG2240>.


btext:
His<WG846> mother<WG3384> saith<WG3004> unto the servants<WG1249>, Whatsoever<WG3748><WG302> he saith<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, do<WG4160> it.


btext:
And<WG1161> there were<WG2258> set<WG2749> there<WG1563> six<WG1803> waterpots<WG5201> of stone<WG3035>, after<WG2596> the manner of the purifying<WG2512> of the Jews<WG2453>, containing<WG5562> two<WG1417> or<WG2228> three<WG5140> firkins<WG3355> apiece<WG303>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Fill<WG1072> the waterpots<WG5201> with water<WG5204>. And<WG2532> they filled<WG1072> them<WG846> up<WG1072> to<WG2193> the brim<WG507>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Draw out<WG501> now<WG3568>, and<WG2532> bear<WG5342> unto the governor of the feast<WG755>. And<WG2532> they bare<WG5342> it.


btext:
<WG1161> When<WG5613> the ruler of the feast<WG755> had tasted<WG1089> the water<WG5204> that was made<WG1096> wine<WG3631>, and<WG2532> knew<WG1492> not<WG3756> whence<WG4159> it was<WG2076>: (but<WG1161> the servants<WG1249> which<WG3588> drew<WG501> the water<WG5204> knew<WG1492>;) the governor of the feast<WG755> called<WG5455> the bridegroom<WG3566>,


btext:
And<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Every<WG3956> man<WG444> at the beginning<WG4412> doth set forth<WG5087> good<WG2570> wine<WG3631>; and<WG2532> when<WG3752> men have well drunk<WG3184>, then<WG5119> that which is worse<WG1640>: but thou<WG4771> hast kept<WG5083> the good<WG2570> wine<WG3631> until<WG2193> now<WG737>.


btext:
This<WG5026> beginning<WG746> of miracles<WG4592> did<WG4160> Jesus<WG2424> in<WG1722> Cana<WG2580> of Galilee<WG1056>, and<WG2532> manifested forth<WG5319> his<WG846> glory<WG1391>; and<WG2532> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>.


btext:
After<WG3326> this<WG5124> he went down<WG2597> to<WG1519> Capernaum<WG2584>, he<WG846>, and<WG2532> his<WG846> mother<WG3384>, and<WG2532> his<WG846> brethren<WG80>, and<WG2532> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>: and<WG2532> they continued<WG3306> there<WG1563> not<WG3756> many<WG4183> days<WG2250>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the Jews'<WG2453> passover<WG3957> was<WG2258> at hand<WG1451>, and<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> went up<WG305> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2414>,


btext:
And<WG2532> found<WG2147> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411> those that sold<WG4453> oxen<WG1016> and<WG2532> sheep<WG4263> and<WG2532> doves<WG4058>, and<WG2532> the changers of money<WG2773> sitting<WG2521>:


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had made<WG4160> a scourge<WG5416> of<WG1537> small cords<WG4979>, he drove<WG1544> them all<WG3956> out of<WG1537> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG5037> the sheep<WG4263>, and<WG2532> the oxen<WG1016>; and<WG2532> poured out<WG1632> the changers'<WG2855> money<WG2772>, and<WG2532> overthrew<WG390> the tables<WG5132>;


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them that sold<WG4453> doves<WG4058>, Take<WG142> these things<WG5023> hence<WG1782>; make<WG4160> not<WG3361> my<WG3450> Father's<WG3962> house<WG3624> an house<WG3624> of merchandise<WG1712>.


btext:
And<WG1161> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> remembered<WG3415> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> written<WG1125>, The zeal<WG2205> of thine<WG4675> house<WG3624> hath eaten<WG2719> me<WG3165> up<WG2719>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> answered<WG611> the Jews<WG2453> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, What<WG5101> sign<WG4592> shewest thou<WG1166> unto us<WG2254>, seeing that<WG3754> thou doest<WG4160> these things<WG5023>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Destroy<WG3089> this<WG5126> temple<WG3485>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> three<WG5140> days<WG2250> I will raise<WG1453> it<WG846> up<WG1453>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> the Jews<WG2453>, Forty<WG5062> and<WG2532> six<WG1803> years<WG2094> was<WG3618> this<WG3778> temple<WG3485> in building<WG3618>, and<WG2532> wilt<WG1453> thou<WG4771> rear<WG1453> it<WG846> up<WG1453> in<WG1722> three<WG5140> days<WG2250>?


btext:
When<WG3753> therefore<WG3767> he was risen<WG1453> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>, his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> remembered<WG3415> that<WG3754> he had said<WG3004> this<WG5124> unto them<WG846>; and<WG2532> they believed<WG4100> the scripture<WG1124>, and<WG2532> the word<WG3056> which<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> had said<WG2036>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when<WG5613> he was<WG2258> in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414> at<WG1722> the passover<WG3957>, in<WG1722> the feast<WG1859> day, many<WG4183> believed<WG4100> in<WG1519> his<WG846> name<WG3686>, when they saw<WG2334> the miracles<WG846><WG4592> which<WG3739> he did<WG4160>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424><WG846> did<WG4100> not<WG3756> commit<WG4100> himself<WG1438> unto them<WG846>, because<WG1223> he<WG846> knew<WG1097> all<WG3956> men,


btext:
And<WG2532><WG3754> needed<WG5532><WG2192> not<WG3756> that<WG2443> any<WG5100> should testify<WG3140> of<WG4012> man<WG444>: for<WG1063> he<WG846> knew<WG1097> what<WG5101> was<WG2258> in<WG1722> man<WG444>.


btext:
<WG1161> There was<WG2258> a man<WG444> of<WG1537> the Pharisees<WG5330>, named<WG3686><WG846> Nicodemus<WG3530>, a ruler<WG758> of the Jews<WG2453>:


btext:
The same<WG3778> came<WG2064> to<WG4314> Jesus<WG2424> by night<WG3571>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Rabbi<WG4461>, we know<WG1492> that<WG3754> thou art<WG2064> a teacher<WG1320> come<WG2064> from<WG575> God<WG2316>: for<WG1063> no man<WG3762> can<WG1410> do<WG4160> these<WG5023> miracles<WG4592> that<WG3739> thou<WG4771> doest<WG4160>, except<WG3362> God<WG2316> be<WG5600> with<WG3326> him<WG846>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto thee<WG4671>, Except<WG3362> a man<WG5100> be born<WG1080> again<WG509>, he cannot<WG1410><WG3756> see<WG1492> the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>. / again: or, from above


btext:
Nicodemus<WG3530> saith<WG3004> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, How<WG4459> can<WG1410> a man<WG444> be born<WG1080> when he is<WG5607> old<WG1088>? can<WG3361><WG1410> he enter<WG1525> the second time<WG1208> into<WG1519> his<WG846> mother's<WG3384> womb<WG2836>, and<WG2532> be born<WG1080>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto thee<WG4671>, Except<WG3362> a man<WG5100> be born<WG1080> of<WG1537> water<WG5204> and<WG2532> of the Spirit<WG4151>, he cannot<WG3756><WG1410> enter<WG1525> into<WG1519> the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
That which is born<WG1080> of<WG1537> the flesh<WG4561> is<WG2076> flesh<WG4561>; and<WG2532> that which is born<WG1080> of<WG1537> the Spirit<WG4151> is<WG2076> spirit<WG4151>.


btext:
Marvel<WG2296> not<WG3361> that<WG3754> I said<WG2036> unto thee<WG4671>, Ye<WG5209> must<WG1163> be born<WG1080> again<WG509>. / again: or, from above


btext:
The wind<WG4151> bloweth<WG4154> where<WG3699> it listeth<WG2309>, and<WG2532> thou hearest<WG191> the sound<WG5456> thereof<WG846>, but<WG235> canst<WG1492> not<WG3756> tell<WG1492> whence<WG4159> it cometh<WG2064>, and<WG2532> whither<WG4226> it goeth<WG5217>: so<WG3779> is<WG2076> every one<WG3956> that is born<WG1080> of<WG1537> the Spirit<WG4151>.


btext:
Nicodemus<WG3530> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, How<WG4459> can<WG1410> these things<WG5023> be<WG1096>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Art<WG1488> thou<WG4771> a master<WG1320> of Israel<WG2474>, and<WG2532> knowest<WG1097> not<WG3756> these things<WG5023>?


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto thee<WG4671>, We speak<WG2980> that<WG3754><WG3739> we do know<WG1492>, and<WG2532> testify<WG3140> that<WG3739> we have seen<WG3708>; and<WG2532> ye receive<WG2983> not<WG3756> our<WG2257> witness<WG3141>.


btext:
If<WG1487> I have told<WG2036> you<WG5213> earthly things<WG1919>, and<WG2532> ye believe<WG4100> not<WG3756>, how<WG4459> shall ye believe<WG4100>, if<WG1437> I tell<WG2036> you<WG5213> of heavenly things<WG2032>?


btext:
And<WG2532> no man<WG3762> hath ascended up<WG305> to<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>, but<WG1508> he that came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, even the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> which<WG3588> is<WG5607> in<WG1722> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG2532> as<WG2531> Moses<WG3475> lifted up<WG5312> the serpent<WG3789> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>, even so<WG3779> must<WG1163> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> be lifted up<WG5312>:


btext:
That<WG3363> whosoever<WG3956> believeth<WG4100> in<WG1519> him<WG846> should<WG622> not<WG3363> perish<WG622>, but<WG235> have<WG2192> eternal<WG166> life<WG2222>.


btext:
For<WG1063> God<WG2316> so<WG3779> loved<WG25> the world<WG2889>, that<WG5620> he gave<WG1325> his<WG846> only begotten<WG3439> Son<WG5207>, that<WG2443> whosoever<WG3956> believeth<WG4100> in<WG1519> him<WG846> should<WG622> not<WG3361> perish<WG622>, but<WG235> have<WG2192> everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>.

For<WG1063> God<WG2316> sent<WG649> not<WG3756> his<WG846> Son<WG5207> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889> to<WG2443> condemn<WG2919> the world<WG2889>; but<WG235> that<WG2443> the world<WG2889> through<WG1223> him<WG846> might be saved<WG4982>.


btext:
He that believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846> is<WG2919> not<WG3756> condemned<WG2919>: but<WG1161> he that believeth<WG4100> not<WG3361> is condemned<WG2919> already<WG2235>, because<WG3754> he hath<WG4100> not<WG3361> believed<WG4100> in<WG1519> the name<WG3686> of the only begotten<WG3439> Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>.

And<WG1161> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> the condemnation<WG2920>, that<WG3754> light<WG5457> is come<WG2064> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>, and<WG2532> men<WG444> loved<WG25> darkness<WG4655> rather<WG3123> than<WG2228> light<WG5457>, because<WG1063> their<WG846> deeds<WG2041> were<WG2258> evil<WG4190>.

For<WG1063> every one<WG3956> that doeth<WG4238> evil<WG5337> hateth<WG3404> the light<WG5457>, neither<WG2532><WG3756> cometh<WG2064> to<WG4314> the light<WG5457>, lest<WG3363> his<WG846> deeds<WG2041> should be reproved<WG1651>. / reproved: or, discovered


btext:
But<WG1161> he that doeth<WG4160> truth<WG225> cometh<WG2064> to<WG4314> the light<WG5457>, that<WG2443> his<WG846> deeds<WG2041> may be made manifest<WG5319>, that<WG3754> they are<WG2076> wrought<WG2038> in<WG1722> God<WG2316>.


btext:
After<WG3326> these things<WG5023> came<WG2064> Jesus<WG2424> and<WG2532> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> into<WG1519> the land<WG1093> of Judaea<WG2449>; and<WG2532> there<WG1563> he tarried<WG1304> with<WG3326> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> baptized<WG907>.


btext:
And<WG1161> John<WG2491> also<WG2532> was<WG2258> baptizing<WG907> in<WG1722> Aenon<WG137> near<WG1451> to Salim<WG4530>, because<WG3754> there was<WG2258> much<WG4183> water<WG5204> there<WG1563>: and<WG2532> they came<WG3854>, and<WG2532> were baptized<WG907>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> there arose<WG1096> a question<WG2214> between<WG3326> some of<WG1537> John's<WG2491> disciples<WG3101> and the Jews<WG2453> about<WG4012> purifying<WG2512>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they came<WG2064> unto<WG4314> John<WG2491>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Rabbi<WG4461>, he<WG3739> that was<WG2258> with<WG3326> thee<WG4675> beyond<WG4008> Jordan<WG2446>, to whom<WG3739> thou<WG4771> barest witness<WG3140>, behold<WG2396>, the same<WG3778> baptizeth<WG907>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> men come<WG2064> to<WG4314> him<WG846>.


btext:
John<WG2491> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, A man<WG444> can<WG1410><WG3756> receive<WG2983> nothing<WG3762>, except<WG3362> it be<WG5600> given<WG1325> him<WG846> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>. / receive: or, take unto himself

This<WG5124> is again<WG3825> the second<WG1208> miracle<WG4592> that Jesus<WG2424> did<WG4160>, when he was come out<WG2064> of<WG1537> Judaea<WG2449> into<WG1519> Galilee<WG1056>.


btext:
After<WG3326> this<WG5023> there was<WG2258> a feast<WG1859> of the Jews<WG2453>; and<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> went up<WG305> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2414>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> there is<WG2076> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414> by<WG1909> the sheep<WG4262> market a pool<WG2861>, which<WG3588> is called<WG1951> in the Hebrew tongue<WG1447> Bethesda<WG964>, having<WG2192> five<WG4002> porches<WG4745>. / market: or, gate


btext:
In<WG1722> these<WG5025> lay<WG2621> a great<WG4183> multitude<WG4128> of impotent folk<WG770>, of blind<WG5185>, halt<WG5560>, withered<WG3584>, waiting for<WG1551> the moving<WG2796> of the water<WG5204>.


btext:
For<WG1063> an angel<WG32> went down<WG2597> at<WG2596> a certain season<WG2540> into<WG1722> the pool<WG2861>, and<WG2532> troubled<WG5015> the water<WG5204>: whosoever then<WG3767> first<WG4413> after<WG3326> the troubling<WG5016> of the water<WG5204> stepped in<WG1684> was made<WG1096> whole<WG5199> of<WG3739> whatsoever<WG1221> disease<WG3553> he had<WG2722>.


btext:
And<WG1161> a certain<WG5100> man<WG444> was<WG2258> there<WG1563>, which had<WG2192> an infirmity<WG1722><WG769> thirty<WG5144> and eight<WG3638> years<WG2094>.


btext:
When Jesus<WG2424> saw<WG1492> him<WG5126> lie<WG2621>, and<WG2532> knew<WG1097> that<WG3754> he had been<WG2192> now<WG2235> a long<WG4183> time<WG5550> in that case, he saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Wilt thou<WG2309> be made<WG1096> whole<WG5199>?


btext:
The impotent man<WG770> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, Sir<WG2962>, I have<WG2192> no<WG3756> man<WG444>, when<WG3752> the water<WG5204> is troubled<WG5015>, to<WG2443> put<WG906> me<WG3165> into<WG1519> the pool<WG2861>: but<WG1161> while<WG1722><WG3739> I<WG1473> am coming<WG2064>, another<WG243> steppeth down<WG2597> before<WG4253> me<WG1700>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Rise<WG1453>, take up<WG142> thy<WG4675> bed<WG2895>, and<WG2532> walk<WG4043>.


btext:
And<WG2532> immediately<WG2112> the man<WG444> was made<WG1096> whole<WG5199>, and<WG2532> took up<WG142> his<WG846> bed<WG2895>, and<WG2532> walked<WG4043>: and<WG1161> on<WG1722> the same<WG1565> day<WG2250> was<WG2258> the sabbath<WG4521>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> therefore<WG3767> said<WG3004> unto him that was cured<WG2323>, It is<WG2076> the sabbath day<WG4521>: it is<WG1832> not<WG3756> lawful<WG1832> for thee<WG4671> to carry<WG142> thy bed<WG2895>.


btext:
He answered<WG611> them<WG846>, He that made<WG4160> me<WG3165> whole<WG5199>, the same<WG1565> said<WG2036> unto me<WG3427>, Take up<WG142> thy<WG4675> bed<WG2895>, and<WG2532> walk<WG4043>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> asked they<WG2065> him<WG846>, What<WG5101> man<WG444> is<WG2076> that which<WG3588> said<WG2036> unto thee<WG4671>, Take up<WG142> thy<WG4675> bed<WG2895>, and<WG2532> walk<WG4043>?


btext:
And<WG1161> he that was healed<WG2390> wist<WG1492> not<WG3756> who<WG5101> it was<WG2076>: for<WG1063> Jesus<WG2424> had conveyed himself away<WG1593>, a multitude<WG3793> being<WG5607> in<WG1722> that place<WG5117>. / a multitude…: or, from the multitude that was


btext:
Afterward<WG3326><WG5023> Jesus<WG2424> findeth<WG2147> him<WG846> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Behold<WG2396>, thou art made<WG1096> whole<WG5199>: sin<WG264> no more<WG3371>, lest<WG3363> a worse thing<WG5501><WG5100> come<WG1096> unto thee<WG4671>.


btext:
The man<WG444> departed<WG565>, and<WG2532> told<WG312> the Jews<WG2453> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> Jesus<WG2424>, which<WG3588> had made<WG4160> him<WG846> whole<WG5199>.


btext:
And<WG2532> therefore<WG1223><WG5124> did<WG1377> the Jews<WG2453> persecute<WG1377> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> sought<WG2212> to slay<WG615> him<WG846>, because<WG3754> he had done<WG4160> these things<WG5023> on<WG1722> the sabbath day<WG4521>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, My<WG3450> Father<WG3962> worketh<WG2038> hitherto<WG2193><WG737>, and I<WG2504> work<WG2038>.


btext:
Therefore<WG1223><WG5124><WG3767> the Jews<WG2453> sought<WG2212> the more<WG3123> to kill<WG615> him<WG846>, because<WG3754> he<WG3089> not<WG3756> only<WG3440> had broken<WG3089> the sabbath<WG4521>, but<WG235> said<WG3004> also<WG2532> that God<WG2316> was his<WG2398> Father<WG3962>, making<WG4160> himself<WG1438> equal<WG2470> with God<WG2316>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> answered<WG611> Jesus<WG2424> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, The Son<WG5207> can<WG1410><WG3756> do<WG4160> nothing<WG3762> of<WG575> himself<WG1438>, but<WG3362> what<WG5100> he seeth<WG991> the Father<WG3962> do<WG4160>: for<WG1063> what things soever<WG3739><WG302> he<WG1565> doeth<WG4160>, these<WG5023> also<WG2532> doeth<WG4160> the Son<WG5207> likewise<WG3668>.

For<WG1063> the Father<WG3962> loveth<WG5368> the Son<WG5207>, and<WG2532> sheweth<WG1166> him<WG846> all things<WG3956> that<WG3739> himself<WG846> doeth<WG4160>: and<WG2532> he will shew<WG1166> him<WG846> greater<WG3187> works<WG2041> than<WG3187> these<WG5130>, that<WG2443> ye<WG5210> may marvel<WG2296>.


btext:
For<WG1063> as<WG5618> the Father<WG3962> raiseth up<WG1453> the dead<WG3498>, and<WG2532> quickeneth<WG2227> them; even<WG2532> so<WG3779> the Son<WG5207> quickeneth<WG2227> whom<WG3739> he will<WG2309>.


btext:
For<WG1063><WG3761> the Father<WG3962> judgeth<WG2919> no man<WG3762>, but<WG235> hath committed<WG1325> all<WG3956> judgment<WG2920> unto the Son<WG5207>:


btext:
That<WG2443> all<WG3956> men should honour<WG5091> the Son<WG5207>, even as<WG2531> they honour<WG5091> the Father<WG3962>. He that honoureth<WG5091> not<WG3361> the Son<WG5207> honoureth<WG5091> not<WG3756> the Father<WG3962> which<WG3588> hath sent<WG3992> him<WG846>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213><WG3754>, He that heareth<WG191> my<WG3450> word<WG3056>, and<WG2532> believeth<WG4100> on him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, hath<WG2192> everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>, and<WG2532> shall<WG2064> not<WG3756> come<WG2064> into<WG1519> condemnation<WG2920>; but<WG235> is passed<WG3327> from<WG1537> death<WG2288> unto<WG1519> life<WG2222>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213><WG3754>, The hour<WG5610> is coming<WG2064>, and<WG2532> now<WG3568> is<WG2076>, when<WG3753> the dead<WG3498> shall hear<WG191> the voice<WG5456> of the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>: and<WG2532> they that hear<WG191> shall live<WG2198>.


btext:
For<WG1063> as<WG5618> the Father<WG3962> hath<WG2192> life<WG2222> in<WG1722> himself<WG1438>; so<WG2532><WG3779> hath he given<WG1325> to the Son<WG5207> to have<WG2192> life<WG2222> in<WG1722> himself<WG1438>;


btext:
And<WG2532> hath given<WG1325> him<WG846> authority<WG1849> to execute<WG4160> judgment<WG2920> also<WG2532>, because<WG3754> he is<WG2076> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444>.

Marvel<WG2296> not<WG3361> at this<WG5124>: for<WG3754> the hour<WG5610> is coming<WG2064>, in<WG1722> the which<WG3739> all<WG3956> that are in<WG1722> the graves<WG3419> shall hear<WG191> his<WG846> voice<WG5456>,

And<WG2532> shall come forth<WG1607>; they that have done<WG4160> good<WG18>, unto<WG1519> the resurrection<WG386> of life<WG2222>; and<WG1161> they that have done<WG4238> evil<WG5337>, unto<WG1519> the resurrection<WG386> of damnation<WG2920>.

I<WG1473> can<WG1410> of<WG575> mine own self<WG1683> do<WG4160> nothing<WG3756><WG3762>: as<WG2531> I hear<WG191>, I judge<WG2919>: and<WG2532> my<WG1699> judgment<WG2920> is<WG2076> just<WG1342>; because<WG3754> I seek<WG2212> not<WG3756> mine own<WG1699> will<WG2307>, but<WG235> the will<WG2307> of the Father<WG3962> which hath sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.

If<WG1437> I<WG1473> bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> myself<WG1683>, my<WG3450> witness<WG3141> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> true<WG227>.

btext:
But<WG1161> I<WG1473> have<WG2192> greater<WG3187> witness<WG3141> than that of John<WG2491>: for<WG1063> the works<WG2041> which<WG3739> the Father<WG3962> hath given<WG1325> me<WG3427> to<WG2443> finish<WG5048><WG846>, the same<WG846> works<WG2041> that<WG3739> I<WG1473> do<WG4160>, bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>, that<WG3754> the Father<WG3962> hath sent<WG649> me<WG3165>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the Father<WG3962> himself<WG846>, which hath sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, hath borne witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>. Ye have<WG191> neither<WG3777> heard<WG191> his<WG846> voice<WG5456> at any time<WG4455>, nor<WG3777> seen<WG3708> his<WG846> shape<WG1491>.

And<WG2532> ye have<WG2192> not<WG3756> his<WG846> word<WG3056> abiding<WG3306> in<WG1722> you<WG5213>: for<WG3754> whom<WG3739><WG1565> he hath sent<WG649>, him<WG5129> ye<WG5210> believe<WG4100> not<WG3756>.

And<WG2532> ye will<WG2309> not<WG3756> come<WG2064> to<WG4314> me<WG3165>, that<WG2443> ye might have<WG2192> life<WG2222>.

btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> he said<WG3004> to prove<WG3985> him<WG846>: for<WG1063> he himself<WG846> knew<WG1492> what<WG5101> he would<WG3195> do<WG4160>.

Philip<WG5376> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, Two hundred<WG1250> pennyworth<WG1220> of bread<WG740> is<WG714> not<WG3756> sufficient<WG714> for them<WG846>, that<WG2443> every one<WG1538> of them<WG846> may take<WG2983> a<WG5100> little<WG1024>.

And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> took<WG2983> the loaves<WG740>; and<WG2532> when he had given thanks<WG2168>, he distributed<WG1239> to the disciples<WG3101>, and<WG1161> the disciples<WG3101> to them that were set down<WG345>; and<WG2532> likewise<WG3668> of<WG1537> the fishes<WG3795> as much as<WG3745> they would<WG2309>.


btext:
When<WG1161><WG5613> they were filled<WG1705>, he said<WG3004> unto his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, Gather up<WG4863> the fragments<WG2801> that remain<WG4052>, that nothing<WG3363><WG5100> be lost<WG622>.

Therefore<WG3767> they gathered them together<WG4863>, and<WG2532> filled<WG1072> twelve<WG1427> baskets<WG2894> with the fragments<WG2801> of<WG1537> the five<WG4002> barley<WG2916> loaves<WG740>, which<WG3739> remained over and above<WG4052> unto them that had eaten<WG977>.

Then<WG3767> those men<WG444>, when they had seen<WG1492> the miracle<WG4592> that<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> did<WG4160>, said<WG3004>, This<WG3754><WG3778> is<WG2076> of a truth<WG230> that prophet<WG4396> that should come<WG2064> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>.

When Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> perceived<WG1097> that<WG3754> they would<WG3195> come<WG2064> and<WG2532> take<WG726> him<WG846> by force<WG726>, to<WG2443> make<WG4160> him<WG846> a king<WG935>, he departed<WG402> again<WG3825> into<WG1519> a mountain<WG3735> himself<WG846> alone<WG3441>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> even<WG3798> was now come<WG1096>, his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> went down<WG2597> unto<WG1909> the sea<WG2281>,


btext:
And<WG2532> entered<WG1684> into<WG1519> a ship<WG4143>, and went<WG2064> over<WG4008> the sea<WG2281> toward<WG1519> Capernaum<WG2584>. And<WG2532> it was<WG1096> now<WG2235> dark<WG4653>, and<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> was<WG2064> not<WG3756> come<WG2064> to<WG4314> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG5037> the sea<WG2281> arose<WG1326> by reason of a great<WG3173> wind<WG417> that blew<WG4154>.


btext:
So<WG3767> when they had rowed<WG1643> about<WG5613> five<WG4002> and twenty<WG1501> or<WG2228> thirty<WG5144> furlongs<WG4712>, they see<WG2334> Jesus<WG2424> walking<WG4043> on<WG1909> the sea<WG2281>, and<WG2532> drawing<WG1096> nigh<WG1451> unto the ship<WG4143>: and<WG2532> they were afraid<WG5399>.


btext:
But<WG1161> he saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, It is<WG1510> I<WG1473>; be<WG5399> not<WG3361> afraid<WG5399>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> they willingly<WG2309> received<WG2983> him<WG846> into<WG1519> the ship<WG4143>: and<WG2532> immediately<WG2112> the ship<WG4143> was<WG1096> at<WG1909> the land<WG1093> whither<WG1519><WG3739> they went<WG5217>.


btext:
The day following<WG1887>, when the people<WG3793> which<WG3588> stood<WG2476> on the other side<WG4008> of the sea<WG2281> saw<WG1492> that<WG3754> there was<WG2258> none<WG3756> other<WG243> boat<WG4142> there<WG1563>, save<WG1508> that<WG1565> one<WG1520> whereinto<WG1519><WG3739> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> were entered<WG1684>, and<WG2532> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> went<WG4897> not<WG3756> with<WG4897> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> into<WG1519> the boat<WG4142>, but<WG235> that his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> were gone away<WG565> alone<WG3441>;


btext:
(Howbeit<WG235><WG1161> there came<WG2064> other<WG243> boats<WG4142> from<WG1537> Tiberias<WG5085> nigh<WG1451> unto the place<WG5117> where<WG3699> they did eat<WG5315> bread<WG740>, after that the Lord<WG2962> had given thanks<WG2168>:)


btext:
When<WG3753> the people<WG3793> therefore<WG3767> saw<WG1492> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> was<WG2076> not<WG3756> there<WG1563>, neither<WG3761> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, they<WG846> also<WG2532> took<WG1684><WG1519> shipping<WG4143>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Capernaum<WG2584>, seeking for<WG2212> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they had found<WG2147> him<WG846> on the other side<WG4008> of the sea<WG2281>, they said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Rabbi<WG4461>, when<WG4219> camest thou<WG1096> hither<WG5602>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Ye seek<WG2212> me<WG3165>, not<WG3756> because<WG3754> ye saw<WG1492> the miracles<WG4592>, but<WG235> because<WG3754> ye did eat<WG5315> of<WG1537> the loaves<WG740>, and<WG2532> were filled<WG5526>.


btext:
Labour<WG2038> not<WG3361> for the meat<WG1035> which<WG3588> perisheth<WG622>, but<WG235> for that meat<WG1035> which<WG3588> endureth<WG3306> unto<WG1519> everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>, which<WG3739> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> shall give<WG1325> unto you<WG5213>: for<WG1063> him<WG5126> hath<WG4972> God<WG2316> the Father<WG3962> sealed<WG4972>. / Labour not: or, Work not


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, What<WG5101> shall we do<WG4160><WG4160>, that<WG2443> we might work<WG2038> the works<WG2041> of God<WG2316>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, This<WG5124> is<WG2076> the work<WG2041> of God<WG2316>, that<WG2443> ye believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG3739> whom<WG1565> he hath sent<WG649>.


btext:
They said<WG2036> therefore<WG3767> unto him<WG846>, What<WG5101> sign<WG4592> shewest<WG4160> thou<WG4771> then<WG3767>, that<WG2443> we may see<WG1492>, and<WG2532> believe<WG4100> thee<WG4671>? what<WG5101> dost thou work<WG2038>?


btext:
Our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> did eat<WG5315> manna<WG3131> in<WG1722> the desert<WG2048>; as<WG2531> it is<WG2076> written<WG1125>, He gave<WG1325> them<WG846> bread<WG740> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772> to eat<WG5315>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Moses<WG3475> gave<WG1325> you<WG5213> not<WG3756> that bread<WG740> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>; but<WG235> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962> giveth<WG1325> you<WG5213> the true<WG228> bread<WG740> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
For<WG1063> the bread<WG740> of God<WG2316> is he<WG2076> which<WG3588> cometh down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, and<WG2532> giveth<WG1325> life<WG2222> unto the world<WG2889>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, evermore<WG3842> give<WG1325> us<WG2254> this<WG5126> bread<WG740>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the bread<WG740> of life<WG2222>: he that cometh<WG2064> to<WG4314> me<WG3165> shall never<WG3364> hunger<WG3983>; and<WG2532> he that believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> me<WG1691> shall<WG1372> never<WG3364><WG4455> thirst<WG1372>.


btext:
But<WG235> I said<WG2036> unto you<WG5213>, That<WG3754> ye<WG3708> also<WG2532> have seen<WG3708> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> believe<WG4100> not<WG3756>.


btext:
All<WG3956> that<WG3739> the Father<WG3962> giveth<WG1325> me<WG3427> shall come<WG2240> to<WG4314> me<WG1691>; and<WG2532> him that cometh<WG2064> to<WG4314> me<WG3165> I will<WG1544> in no wise<WG3364> cast<WG1544> out<WG1854>.


btext:
For<WG3754> I came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, not<WG3756> to<WG2443> do<WG4160> mine own<WG1699> will<WG2307>, but<WG235> the will<WG2307> of him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> is<WG2076> the Father's<WG3962> will<WG2307> which<WG3588> hath sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, that<WG2443> of all<WG3956> which<WG3739> he hath given<WG1325> me<WG3427> I should lose<WG622> nothing<WG3361><WG1537><WG846>, but<WG235> should raise<WG450> it<WG846> up again<WG450> at<WG1722> the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> is<WG2076> the will<WG2307> of him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, that<WG2443> every one<WG3956> which<WG3588> seeth<WG2334> the Son<WG5207>, and<WG2532> believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>, may have<WG2192> everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>: and<WG2532> I<WG1473> will raise<WG450> him<WG846> up<WG450> at the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> then<WG3767> murmured<WG1111> at<WG4012> him<WG846>, because<WG3754> he said<WG2036>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the bread<WG740> which<WG3588> came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they said<WG3004>, Is<WG2076> not<WG3756> this<WG3778> Jesus<WG2424>, the son<WG5207> of Joseph<WG2501>, whose<WG3739> father<WG3962> and<WG2532> mother<WG3384> we<WG2249> know<WG1492>? how is it<WG4459> then<WG3767> that he<WG3778> saith<WG3004><WG3754>, I came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Murmur<WG1111> not<WG3361> among<WG3326> yourselves<WG240>.


btext:
No man<WG3762> can<WG1410> come<WG2064> to<WG4314> me<WG3165>, except<WG3362> the Father<WG3962> which<WG3588> hath sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> draw<WG1670> him<WG846>: and<WG2532> I<WG1473> will raise<WG450> him<WG846> up<WG450> at the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
It is<WG2076> written<WG1125> in<WG1722> the prophets<WG4396>, And<WG2532> they shall be<WG2071> all<WG3956> taught<WG1318> of God<WG2316>. Every man<WG3956> therefore<WG3767> that hath heard<WG191>, and<WG2532> hath learned<WG3129> of<WG3844> the Father<WG3962>, cometh<WG2064> unto<WG4314> me<WG3165>.


btext:
Not<WG3756> that<WG3754> any man<WG5100> hath seen<WG3708> the Father<WG3962>, save<WG1508> he which<WG3588> is<WG3844><WG5607> of God<WG2316>, he<WG3778> hath seen<WG3708> the Father<WG3962>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, He that believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> me<WG1691> hath<WG2192> everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>.


btext:
Your<WG5216> fathers<WG3962> did eat<WG5315> manna<WG3131> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>, and<WG2532> are dead<WG599>.


btext:
This<WG3778> is<WG2076> the bread<WG740> which<WG3588> cometh down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, that<WG3363> a man<WG5100> may eat<WG5315> thereof<WG1537><WG846>, and<WG2532> not<WG3363> die<WG599>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the living<WG2198> bread<WG740> which<WG3588> came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>: if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> eat<WG5315> of<WG1537> this<WG5127> bread<WG740>, he shall live<WG2198> for<WG1519> ever<WG165>: and<WG1161><WG2532> the bread<WG740> that<WG3739> I<WG1473> will give<WG1325> is<WG2076> my<WG3450> flesh<WG4561>, which<WG3739> I<WG1473> will give<WG1325> for<WG5228> the life<WG2222> of the world<WG2889>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> therefore<WG3767> strove<WG3164> among<WG4314> themselves<WG240>, saying<WG3004>, How<WG4459> can<WG1410> this man<WG3778> give<WG1325> us<WG2254> his flesh<WG4561> to eat<WG5315>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Except<WG3362> ye eat<WG5315> the flesh<WG4561> of the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444>, and<WG2532> drink<WG4095> his<WG846> blood<WG129>, ye have<WG2192> no<WG3756> life<WG2222> in<WG1722> you<WG1438>.


btext:
Whoso eateth<WG5176> my<WG3450> flesh<WG4561>, and<WG2532> drinketh<WG4095> my<WG3450> blood<WG129>, hath<WG2192> eternal<WG166> life<WG2222>; and<WG2532> I<WG1473> will raise<WG450> him<WG846> up<WG450> at the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
For<WG1063> my<WG3450> flesh<WG4561> is<WG2076> meat<WG1035> indeed<WG230>, and<WG2532> my<WG3450> blood<WG129> is<WG2076> drink<WG4213> indeed<WG230>.


btext:
He that eateth<WG5176> my<WG3450> flesh<WG4561>, and<WG2532> drinketh<WG4095> my<WG3450> blood<WG129>, dwelleth<WG3306> in<WG1722> me<WG1698>, and I<WG2504> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
As<WG2531> the living<WG2198> Father<WG3962> hath sent<WG649> me<WG3165>, and I<WG2504> live<WG2198> by<WG1223> the Father<WG3962>: so<WG2532> he that eateth<WG5176> me<WG3165>, even he<WG2548> shall live<WG2198> by<WG1223> me<WG1691>.


btext:
This<WG3778> is<WG2076> that bread<WG740> which<WG3588> came down<WG2597> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>: not<WG3756> as<WG2531> your<WG5216> fathers<WG3962> did eat<WG5315> manna<WG3131>, and<WG2532> are dead<WG599>: he that eateth<WG5176> of this<WG5126> bread<WG740> shall live<WG2198> for<WG1519> ever<WG165>.


btext:
These things<WG5023> said he<WG2036> in<WG1722> the synagogue<WG4864>, as he taught<WG1321> in<WG1722> Capernaum<WG2584>.


btext:
Many<WG4183> therefore<WG3767> of<WG1537> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, when they had heard<WG191> this, said<WG2036>, This<WG3778> is<WG2076> an hard<WG4642> saying<WG3056>; who<WG5101> can<WG1410> hear<WG191> it<WG846>?


btext:
When<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> knew<WG1492> in<WG1722> himself<WG1438> that<WG3754> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> murmured<WG1111> at<WG4012> it<WG5127>, he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Doth this<WG5124> offend<WG4624> you<WG5209>? / offend: or, scandalize, or, cause you to stumble


btext:
What and<WG3767> if<WG1437> ye shall see<WG2334> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> ascend up<WG305> where<WG3699> he was<WG2258> before<WG4386>?


btext:
It is<WG2076> the spirit<WG4151> that quickeneth<WG2227>; the flesh<WG4561><WG3756> profiteth<WG5623> nothing<WG3762>: the words<WG4487> that<WG3739> I<WG1473> speak<WG2980> unto you<WG5213>, they are<WG2076> spirit<WG4151>, and<WG2532> they are<WG2076> life<WG2222>.


btext:
But<WG235> there are<WG1526> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> that<WG3739> believe<WG4100> not<WG3756>. For<WG1063> Jesus<WG2424> knew<WG1492> from<WG1537> the beginning<WG746> who<WG5101> they were<WG1526> that believed<WG4100> not<WG3361>, and<WG2532> who<WG5101> should<WG2076> betray<WG3860> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he said<WG3004>, Therefore<WG1223><WG5124> said I<WG2046> unto you<WG5213>, that<WG3754> no man<WG3762> can<WG1410> come<WG2064> unto<WG4314> me<WG3165>, except<WG3362> it were<WG5600> given<WG1325> unto him<WG846> of<WG1537> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>.


btext:
From<WG1537> that<WG5127> time many<WG4183> of his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> went<WG565> back<WG1519><WG3694>, and<WG2532> walked<WG4043> no more<WG3765> with<WG3326> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto the twelve<WG1427><WG3361>, Will<WG2309> ye<WG5210> also<WG2532> go away<WG5217>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, to<WG4314> whom<WG5101> shall we go<WG565>? thou hast<WG2192> the words<WG4487> of eternal<WG166> life<WG2222>.


btext:
And<WG2532> we<WG2249> believe<WG4100> and<WG2532> are sure<WG1097> that<WG3754> thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> that Christ<WG5547>, the Son<WG5207> of the living<WG2198> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, Have<WG1586> not<WG3756> I<WG1473> chosen<WG1586> you<WG5209> twelve<WG1427>, and<WG2532> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> is<WG2076> a devil<WG1228>?


btext:
<WG1161> He spake<WG3004> of Judas<WG2455> Iscariot<WG2469> the son of Simon<WG4613>: for<WG1063> he<WG3778> it was that should<WG3195> betray<WG3860> him<WG846>, being<WG5607> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> the twelve<WG1427>.


btext:
<WG2532> After<WG3326> these things<WG5023> Jesus<WG2424> walked<WG4043> in<WG1722> Galilee<WG1056>: for<WG1063> he would<WG2309> not<WG3756> walk<WG4043> in<WG1722> Jewry<WG2449>, because<WG3754> the Jews<WG2453> sought<WG2212> to kill<WG615> him<WG846>.

His<WG846> brethren<WG80> therefore<WG3767> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Depart<WG3327> hence<WG1782>, and<WG2532> go<WG5217> into<WG1519> Judaea<WG2449>, that<WG2443> thy<WG4675> disciples<WG3101> also<WG2532> may see<WG2334> the works<WG2041> that<WG3739> thou<WG4675> doest<WG4160>.


btext:
For<WG1063> there is no man<WG3762> that doeth<WG4160> any thing<WG5100> in<WG1722> secret<WG2927>, and<WG2532> he himself<WG846> seeketh<WG2212> to be<WG1511> known openly<WG1722><WG3954>. If<WG1487> thou do<WG4160> these things<WG5023>, shew<WG5319> thyself<WG4572> to the world<WG2889>.


btext:
For<WG1063> neither<WG3761> did<WG4100> his<WG846> brethren<WG80> believe<WG4100> in<WG1519> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, My<WG1699> time<WG2540> is<WG3918> not yet<WG3768> come<WG3918>: but<WG1161> your<WG5212> time<WG2540> is<WG2076> alway<WG3842> ready<WG2092>.


btext:
The world<WG2889> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> hate<WG3404> you<WG5209>; but<WG1161> me<WG1691> it hateth<WG3404>, because<WG3754> I<WG1473> testify<WG3140> of<WG4012> it<WG846>, that<WG3754> the works<WG2041> thereof<WG846> are<WG2076> evil<WG4190>.


btext:
Go<WG305> ye<WG5210> up<WG305> unto<WG1519> this<WG5026> feast<WG1859>: I<WG1473> go<WG305> not<WG3768> up<WG305> yet<WG3768> unto<WG1519> this<WG5026> feast<WG1859>; for<WG3754> my<WG1699> time<WG2540> is<WG4137> not yet<WG3768> full come<WG4137>.


btext:
When<WG1161> he had said<WG2036> these words<WG5023> unto them<WG846>, he abode<WG3306> still in<WG1722> Galilee<WG1056>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when<WG5613> his<WG846> brethren<WG80> were gone up<WG305>, then<WG5119> went<WG305> he<WG846> also<WG2532> up<WG305> unto<WG1519> the feast<WG1859>, not<WG3756> openly<WG5320>, but<WG235> as it were<WG5613> in<WG1722> secret<WG2927>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> the Jews<WG2453> sought<WG2212> him<WG846> at<WG1722> the feast<WG1859>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004>, Where<WG4226> is<WG2076> he<WG1565>?


btext:
And<WG2532> there was<WG2258> much<WG4183> murmuring<WG1112> among<WG1722> the people<WG3793> concerning<WG4012> him<WG846>: for some<WG3303> said<WG3004><WG3754>, He is<WG2076> a good man<WG18>: others<WG1161><WG243> said<WG3004>, Nay<WG3756>; but<WG235> he deceiveth<WG4105> the people<WG3793>.


btext:
Howbeit<WG3305> no man<WG3762> spake<WG2980> openly<WG3954> of<WG4012> him<WG846> for<WG1223> fear<WG5401> of the Jews<WG2453>.


btext:
Now<WG2235> about<WG1161> the midst of<WG3322> the feast<WG1859> Jesus<WG2424> went up<WG305> into<WG1519> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> taught<WG1321>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the Jews<WG2453> marvelled<WG2296>, saying<WG3004>, How<WG4459> knoweth<WG1492> this man<WG3778> letters<WG1121>, having<WG3129> never<WG3361> learned<WG3129>? / letters: or, learning


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, My<WG1699> doctrine<WG1322> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> mine<WG1699>, but<WG235> his that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.


btext:
If<WG1437> any man<WG5100> will<WG2309> do<WG4160> his<WG846> will<WG2307>, he shall know<WG1097> of<WG4012> the doctrine<WG1322>, whether<WG4220> it be<WG2076> of<WG1537> God<WG2316>, or<WG2228> whether I<WG1473> speak<WG2980> of<WG575> myself<WG1683>.


btext:
He that speaketh<WG2980> of<WG575> himself<WG1438> seeketh<WG2212> his own<WG2398> glory<WG1391>: but<WG1161> he that seeketh<WG2212> his glory<WG1391> that sent<WG3992> him<WG846>, the same<WG3778> is<WG2076> true<WG227>, and<WG2532> no<WG3756> unrighteousness<WG93> is<WG2076> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
Did<WG1325> not<WG3756> Moses<WG3475> give<WG1325> you<WG5213> the law<WG3551>, and<WG2532> yet none<WG3762> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> keepeth<WG4160> the law<WG3551>? Why<WG5101> go ye about<WG2212> to kill<WG615> me<WG3165>?


btext:
The people<WG3793> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Thou hast<WG2192> a devil<WG1140>: who<WG5101> goeth about<WG2212> to kill<WG615> thee<WG4571>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, I have done<WG4160> one<WG1520> work<WG2041>, and<WG2532> ye<WG2296> all<WG3956> marvel<WG2296>.


btext:
Moses<WG3475> therefore<WG1223><WG5124> gave<WG1325> unto you<WG5213> circumcision<WG4061>; (not<WG3756> because<WG3754> it is<WG2076> of<WG1537> Moses<WG3475>, but<WG235> of<WG1537> the fathers<WG3962>;) and<WG2532> ye<WG4059> on<WG1722> the sabbath day<WG4521> circumcise<WG4059> a man<WG444>.


btext:
If<WG1487> a man<WG444> on<WG1722> the sabbath day<WG4521> receive<WG2983> circumcision<WG4061>, that<WG3363> the law<WG3551> of Moses<WG3475> should<WG3089> not<WG3363> be broken<WG3089>; are ye angry<WG5520> at me<WG1698>, because<WG3754> I have made<WG4160> a man<WG444> every whit<WG3650> whole<WG5199> on<WG1722> the sabbath day<WG4521>? / that…: or, without breaking the law of Moses


btext:
Judge<WG2919> not<WG3361> according to<WG2596> the appearance<WG3799>, but<WG235> judge<WG2919> righteous<WG1342> judgment<WG2920>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG3004> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them of Jerusalem<WG2415>, Is<WG2076> not<WG3756> this<WG3778> he, whom<WG3739> they seek<WG2212> to kill<WG615>?


btext:
But<WG2532>, lo<WG2396>, he speaketh<WG2980> boldly<WG3954>, and<WG2532> they say<WG3004> nothing<WG3762> unto him<WG846>. Do<WG1097> the rulers<WG758> know<WG1097> indeed<WG3379><WG230> that<WG3754> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> the very<WG230> Christ<WG5547>?


btext:
Howbeit<WG235> we know<WG1492> this man<WG5126> whence<WG4159> he is<WG2076>: but<WG1161> when<WG3752> Christ<WG5547> cometh<WG2064>, no man<WG3762> knoweth<WG1097> whence<WG4159> he is<WG2076>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> cried<WG2896> Jesus<WG2424> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411> as he taught<WG1321><WG2532>, saying<WG3004>, Ye both<WG2504> know me<WG1492>, and<WG2532> ye know<WG1492> whence<WG4159> I am<WG1510>: and<WG2532> I am<WG2064> not<WG3756> come<WG2064> of<WG575> myself<WG1683>, but<WG235> he that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> is<WG2076> true<WG228>, whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> know<WG1492> not<WG3756>.


btext:
But<WG1161> I<WG1473> know<WG1492> him<WG846>: for<WG3754> I am<WG1510> from<WG3844> him<WG846>, and he<WG2548> hath sent<WG649> me<WG3165>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> they sought<WG2212> to take<WG4084> him<WG846>: but<WG2532> no man<WG3762> laid<WG1911> hands<WG5495> on<WG1909> him<WG846>, because<WG3754> his<WG846> hour<WG5610> was<WG2064> not yet<WG3768> come<WG2064>.


btext:
And<WG1161> many<WG4183> of<WG1537> the people<WG3793> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004><WG3754>, When<WG3752> Christ<WG5547> cometh<WG2064>, will he do<WG3385><WG4160> more<WG4119> miracles<WG4592> than these<WG5130> which<WG3739> this<WG3778> man hath done<WG4160>?


btext:
The Pharisees<WG5330> heard<WG191> that the people<WG3793> murmured<WG1111> such things<WG5023> concerning<WG4012> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> the Pharisees<WG5330> and<WG2532> the chief priests<WG749> sent<WG649> officers<WG5257> to<WG2443> take<WG4084> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto them<WG846>, Yet<WG2089> a little<WG3398> while<WG5550> am I<WG1510> with<WG3326> you<WG5216>, and<WG2532> then I go<WG5217> unto<WG4314> him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.


btext:
Ye shall seek<WG2212> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> shall<WG2147> not<WG3756> find<WG2147> me: and<WG2532> where<WG3699> I<WG1473> am<WG1510>, thither ye<WG5210> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> come<WG2064>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> the Jews<WG2453> among<WG4314> themselves<WG1438>, Whither<WG4226> will<WG3195> he<WG3778> go<WG4198>, that<WG3754> we<WG2249> shall<WG2147> not<WG3756> find<WG2147> him<WG846>? will<WG3361><WG3195> he go<WG4198> unto<WG1519> the dispersed<WG1290> among the Gentiles<WG1672>, and<WG2532> teach<WG1321> the Gentiles<WG1672>? / Gentiles: or, Greeks


btext:
What<WG5101> manner of saying<WG3056> is<WG2076> this<WG3778> that<WG3739> he said<WG2036>, Ye shall seek<WG2212> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> shall<WG2147> not<WG3756> find<WG2147> me: and<WG2532> where<WG3699> I<WG1473> am<WG1510>, thither ye<WG5210> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> come<WG2064>?


btext:
<WG1161> In<WG1722> the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>, that great<WG3173> day of the feast<WG1859>, Jesus<WG2424> stood<WG2476> and<WG2532> cried<WG2896>, saying<WG3004>, If<WG1437> any man<WG5100> thirst<WG1372>, let him come<WG2064> unto<WG4314> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> drink<WG4095>.


btext:
He that believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> me<WG1691>, as<WG2531> the scripture<WG1124> hath said<WG2036>, out of<WG1537> his<WG846> belly<WG2836> shall flow<WG4482> rivers<WG4215> of living<WG2198> water<WG5204>.


btext:
(But<WG1161> this<WG5124> spake he<WG2036> of<WG4012> the Spirit<WG4151>, which<WG3739> they that believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846> should<WG3195> receive<WG2983>: for<WG1063> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> was<WG2258> not yet<WG3768> given; because<WG3754> that Jesus<WG2424> was<WG1392> not yet<WG3764> glorified<WG1392>.)


btext:
Many<WG4183> of<WG1537> the people<WG3793> therefore<WG3767>, when they heard<WG191> this saying<WG3056>, said<WG3004>, Of a truth<WG230> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> the Prophet<WG4396>.


btext:
Others<WG243> said<WG3004>, This<WG3778> is<WG2076> the Christ<WG5547>. But<WG1161> some<WG243> said<WG3004><WG1063>, Shall<WG3361> Christ<WG5547> come<WG2064> out of<WG1537> Galilee<WG1056>?


btext:
Hath not<WG3780> the scripture<WG1124> said<WG2036>, That<WG3754> Christ<WG5547> cometh<WG2064> of<WG1537> the seed<WG4690> of David<WG1138>, and<WG2532> out of<WG575> the town<WG2968> of Bethlehem<WG965>, where<WG3699> David<WG1138> was<WG2258>?


btext:
So<WG3767> there was<WG1096> a division<WG4978> among<WG1722> the people<WG3793> because<WG1223> of him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846> would<WG2309> have taken<WG4084> him<WG846>; but<WG235> no man<WG3762> laid<WG1911> hands<WG5495> on<WG1909> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> came<WG2064> the officers<WG5257> to<WG4314> the chief priests<WG749> and<WG2532> Pharisees<WG5330>; and<WG2532> they<WG1565> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Why<WG1302> have ye<WG71> not<WG3756> brought<WG71> him<WG846>?


btext:
The officers<WG5257> answered<WG611>, Never<WG3763> man<WG444> spake<WG3779><WG2980> like<WG5613> this<WG3778> man<WG444>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> answered<WG611> them<WG846> the Pharisees<WG5330>, Are<WG4105> ye<WG5210> also<WG2532> deceived<WG4105><WG3361>?


btext:
Have any<WG3387> of<WG1537> the rulers<WG758> or<WG2228> of<WG1537> the Pharisees<WG5330> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>?


btext:
But<WG235> this<WG3778> people<WG3793> who<WG3588> knoweth<WG1097> not<WG3361> the law<WG3551> are<WG1526> cursed<WG1944>.


btext:
Nicodemus<WG3530> saith<WG3004> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, (he that came<WG2064> to Jesus<WG846> by<WG4314> night<WG3571>, being<WG5607> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> them<WG846>,) / to Jesus: Gr. to him


btext:
Doth<WG2919> our<WG2257> law<WG3551> judge<WG2919><WG3361> any man<WG444>, before<WG4386><WG3362> it hear<WG191><WG3844> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> know<WG1097> what<WG5101> he doeth<WG4160>?


btext:
They answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Art<WG3361><WG1488> thou<WG4771> also<WG2532> of<WG1537> Galilee<WG1056>? Search<WG2045>, and<WG2532> look<WG1492>: for<WG3754> out of<WG1537> Galilee<WG1056> ariseth<WG1453> no<WG3756> prophet<WG4396>.


btext:
And<WG1161> early in the morning<WG3722> he came<WG3854> again<WG3825> into<WG1519> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> the people<WG2992> came<WG2064> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> he sat down<WG2523>, and taught<WG1321> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the scribes<WG1122> and<WG2532> Pharisees<WG5330> brought<WG71> unto<WG4314> him<WG846> a woman<WG1135> taken<WG2638> in<WG1722> adultery<WG3430>; and<WG2532> when they had set<WG2476> her<WG846> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319>,


btext:
They say<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Master<WG1320>, this<WG3778> woman<WG1135> was taken<WG2638> in adultery<WG3431>, in the very act<WG1888>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> Moses<WG3475> in<WG1722> the law<WG3551> commanded<WG1781> us<WG2254>, that such<WG5108> should be stoned<WG3036>: but<WG3767> what<WG5101> sayest<WG3004> thou<WG4771>?


btext:
<WG1161> This<WG5124> they said<WG3004>, tempting<WG3985> him<WG846>, that<WG2443> they might have<WG2192> to accuse<WG2723> him<WG846>. But<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> stooped<WG2955> down<WG2736>, and with his finger<WG1147> wrote<WG1125> on<WG1519> the ground<WG1093>, as though he heard<WG4364> them not<WG3361>.


btext:
So<WG1161> when<WG5613> they continued<WG1961> asking<WG2065> him<WG846>, he lifted up himself<WG352>, and said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, He that is without sin<WG361> among you<WG5216>, let him<WG906> first<WG4413> cast<WG906> a stone<WG3037> at<WG1909> her<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> again<WG3825> he stooped<WG2955> down<WG2736>, and wrote<WG1125> on<WG1519> the ground<WG1093>.


btext:
And<WG1161> they which heard<WG191> it,<WG2532> being convicted<WG1651> by<WG5259> their own conscience<WG4893>, went out<WG1831> one by one<WG1527>, beginning<WG756> at<WG575> the eldest<WG4245>, even unto<WG2193> the last<WG2078>: and<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> was left<WG2641> alone<WG3441>, and<WG2532> the woman<WG1135> standing<WG2476> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319>.


btext:
When<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> had lifted up himself<WG352>, and<WG2532> saw<WG2300> none<WG3367> but<WG4133> the woman<WG1135>, he said<WG2036> unto her<WG846>, Woman<WG1135>, where<WG4226> are<WG1526> those<WG1565> thine<WG4675> accusers<WG2725>? hath<WG2632> no man<WG3762> condemned<WG2632> thee<WG4571>?


btext:
<WG1161> She said<WG2036>, No man<WG3762>, Lord<WG2962>. And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto her<WG846>, Neither<WG3761> do<WG2632> I<WG1473> condemn<WG2632> thee<WG4571>: go<WG4198>, and<WG2532> sin<WG264> no more<WG3371>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> spake<WG2980> Jesus<WG2424> again<WG3825> unto them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the light<WG5457> of the world<WG2889>: he that followeth<WG190> me<WG1698> shall<WG4043> not<WG3364> walk<WG4043> in<WG1722> darkness<WG4653>, but<WG235> shall have<WG2192> the light<WG5457> of life<WG2222>.

The Pharisees<WG5330> therefore<WG3767> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Thou<WG4771> bearest record<WG3140> of<WG4012> thyself<WG4572>; thy<WG4675> record<WG3141> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> true<WG227>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Though<WG2579> I<WG1473> bear record<WG3140> of<WG4012> myself<WG1683>, yet my<WG3450> record<WG3141> is<WG2076> true<WG227>: for<WG3754> I know<WG1492> whence<WG4159> I came<WG2064>, and<WG2532> whither<WG4226> I go<WG5217>; but<WG1161> ye<WG5210> cannot<WG3756> tell<WG1492> whence<WG4159> I come<WG2064>, and<WG2532> whither<WG4226> I go<WG5217>.


btext:
Ye<WG5210> judge<WG2919> after<WG2596> the flesh<WG4561>; I<WG1473> judge<WG2919> no<WG3756> man<WG3762>.


btext:
And<WG1161> yet<WG2532> if<WG1437> I<WG1473> judge<WG2919>, my<WG1699> judgment<WG2920> is<WG2076> true<WG227>: for<WG3754> I am<WG1510> not<WG3756> alone<WG3441>, but<WG235> I<WG1473> and<WG2532> the Father<WG3962> that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.


btext:
<WG2532> It is<WG1125> also<WG1161> written<WG1125> in<WG1722> your<WG5212> law<WG3551>, that<WG3754> the testimony<WG3141> of two<WG1417> men<WG444> is<WG2076> true<WG227>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am<WG1510> one that bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> myself<WG1683>, and<WG2532> the Father<WG3962> that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> beareth witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Where<WG4226> is<WG2076> thy<WG4675> Father<WG3962>? Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Ye<WG1492> neither<WG3777> know<WG1492> me<WG1691>, nor<WG3777> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>: if<WG1487> ye had known<WG1492> me<WG1691><WG2532>, ye should have known<WG1492> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962> also<WG302>.


btext:
These<WG5023> words<WG4487> spake<WG2980> Jesus<WG2424> in<WG1722> the treasury<WG1049>, as he taught<WG1321> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>: and<WG2532> no man<WG3762> laid hands<WG4084> on him<WG846>; for<WG3754> his<WG846> hour<WG5610> was<WG2064> not yet<WG3768> come<WG2064>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> again<WG3825> unto them<WG846>, I<WG1473> go my way<WG5217>, and<WG2532> ye shall seek<WG2212> me<WG3165>, and<WG2532> shall die<WG599> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> sins<WG266>: whither<WG3699> I<WG1473> go<WG5217>, ye<WG5210> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> come<WG2064>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG3004> the Jews<WG2453>, Will he kill<WG3385><WG615> himself<WG1438>? because<WG3754> he saith<WG3004>, Whither<WG3699> I<WG1473> go<WG5217>, ye<WG5210> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> come<WG2064>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Ye<WG5210> are<WG2075> from<WG1537> beneath<WG2736>; I<WG1473> am<WG1510> from<WG1537> above<WG507>: ye<WG5210> are<WG2075> of<WG1537> this<WG5127> world<WG2889>; I<WG1473> am<WG1510> not<WG3756> of<WG1537> this<WG5127> world<WG2889>.


btext:
I said<WG2036> therefore<WG3767> unto you<WG5213>, that<WG3754> ye shall die<WG599> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> sins<WG266>: for<WG1063> if<WG3362> ye believe<WG4100> not<WG3362> that<WG3754> I<WG1473> am<WG1510> he, ye shall die<WG599> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> sins<WG266>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Who<WG5101> art<WG1488> thou<WG4771>? And<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Even<WG3748><WG2532> the same that I said<WG2980> unto you<WG5213> from the beginning<WG746>.


btext:
I have<WG2192> many things<WG4183> to say<WG2980> and<WG2532> to judge<WG2919> of<WG4012> you<WG5216>: but<WG235> he that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> is<WG2076> true<WG227>; and I<WG2504> speak<WG3004> to<WG1519> the world<WG2889> those things<WG5023> which<WG3739> I have heard<WG191> of<WG3844> him<WG846>.


btext:
They understood<WG1097> not<WG3756> that<WG3754> he spake<WG3004> to them<WG846> of the Father<WG3962>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto them<WG846>, When<WG3752> ye have lifted up<WG5312> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444>, then<WG3767> shall ye know<WG1097> that<WG3754> I<WG1473> am<WG1510> he, and<WG2532> that I do<WG4160> nothing<WG3762> of<WG575> myself<WG1683>; but<WG235> as<WG2531> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962> hath taught<WG1321> me<WG3165>, I speak<WG2980> these things<WG5023>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165> is<WG2076> with<WG3326> me<WG1700>: the Father<WG3962> hath<WG863> not<WG3756> left<WG863> me<WG3165> alone<WG3441>; for<WG3754> I<WG1473> do<WG4160> always<WG3842> those things that please<WG701> him<WG846>.


btext:
As he<WG846> spake<WG2980> these words<WG5023>, many<WG4183> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG3004> Jesus<WG2424> to<WG4314> those Jews<WG2453> which<WG3588> believed<WG4100> on him<WG846>, If<WG1437> ye<WG5210> continue<WG3306> in<WG1722> my<WG1699> word<WG3056>, then are ye<WG2075> my<WG3450> disciples<WG3101> indeed<WG230>;


btext:
And<WG2532> ye shall know<WG1097> the truth<WG225>, and<WG2532> the truth<WG225> shall make<WG1659> you<WG5209> free<WG1659>.


btext:
They answered<WG611> him<WG846>, We be<WG2070> Abraham's<WG11> seed<WG4690>, and<WG2532> were<WG1398> never<WG4455> in bondage<WG1398> to any man<WG3762>: how<WG4459> sayest<WG3004> thou<WG4771><WG3754>, Ye shall be made<WG1096> free<WG1658>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213><WG3754>, Whosoever<WG3956> committeth<WG4160> sin<WG266> is<WG2076> the servant<WG1401> of sin<WG266>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the servant<WG1401> abideth<WG3306> not<WG3756> in<WG1722> the house<WG3614> for<WG1519> ever<WG165>: but the Son<WG5207> abideth<WG3306><WG1519> ever<WG165>.


btext:
If<WG1437> the Son<WG5207> therefore<WG3767> shall make<WG1659> you<WG5209> free<WG1659>, ye shall be<WG2071> free<WG1658> indeed<WG3689>.


btext:
I know<WG1492> that<WG3754> ye are<WG2075> Abraham's<WG11> seed<WG4690>; but<WG235> ye seek<WG2212> to kill<WG615> me<WG3165>, because<WG3754> my<WG1699> word<WG3056> hath<WG5562> no<WG3756> place<WG5562> in<WG1722> you<WG5213>.


btext:
I<WG1473> speak<WG2980> that which<WG3739> I have seen<WG3708> with<WG3844> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>: and<WG2532> ye<WG5210> do<WG4160> that<WG3767> which<WG3739> ye have seen<WG3708> with<WG3844> your<WG5216> father<WG3962>.


btext:
They answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Abraham<WG11> is<WG2076> our<WG2257> father<WG3962>. Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, If<WG1487> ye were<WG2258> Abraham's<WG11> children<WG5043>, ye would do<WG4160><WG302> the works<WG2041> of Abraham<WG11>.


btext:
But<WG1161> now<WG3568> ye seek<WG2212> to kill<WG615> me<WG3165>, a man<WG444> that<WG3739> hath told<WG2980> you<WG5213> the truth<WG225>, which<WG3739> I have heard<WG191> of<WG3844> God<WG2316>: this<WG5124> did<WG4160> not<WG3756> Abraham<WG11>.


btext:
Ye<WG5210> do<WG4160> the deeds<WG2041> of your<WG5216> father<WG3962>. Then<WG3767> said they<WG2036> to him<WG846>, We<WG2249> be<WG1080> not<WG3756> born<WG1080> of<WG1537> fornication<WG4202>; we have<WG2192> one<WG1520> Father<WG3962>, even God<WG2316>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424><WG3767> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, If<WG1487> God<WG2316> were<WG2258> your<WG5216> Father<WG3962>, ye would<WG302> love<WG25> me<WG1691>: for<WG1063> I<WG1473> proceeded forth<WG1831> and<WG2532> came<WG2240> from<WG1537> God<WG2316>; neither<WG3761><WG1063> came I<WG2064> of<WG575> myself<WG1683>, but<WG235> he<WG1565> sent<WG649> me<WG3165>.


btext:
Why<WG1302> do ye<WG1097> not<WG3756> understand<WG1097> my<WG1699> speech<WG2981>? even because<WG3754> ye cannot<WG3756><WG1410> hear<WG191> my<WG1699> word<WG3056>.


btext:
Ye<WG5210> are<WG2075> of<WG1537> your father<WG3962> the devil<WG1228>, and<WG2532> the lusts<WG1939> of your<WG5216> father<WG3962> ye will<WG2309> do<WG4160>. He<WG1565> was<WG2258> a murderer<WG443> from<WG575> the beginning<WG746>, and<WG2532> abode<WG2476> not<WG3756> in<WG1722> the truth<WG225>, because<WG3754> there is<WG2076> no<WG3756> truth<WG225> in<WG1722> him<WG846>. When<WG3752> he speaketh<WG2980> a lie<WG5579>, he speaketh<WG2980> of<WG1537> his own<WG2398>: for<WG3754> he is<WG2076> a liar<WG5583>, and<WG2532> the father<WG3962> of it<WG846>. / of his own: or, from his own will or disposition


btext:
And<WG1161> because<WG3754> I<WG1473> tell<WG3004> you the truth<WG225>, ye believe<WG4100> me<WG3427> not<WG3756>.


btext:
Which<WG5101> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> convinceth<WG1651> me<WG3165> of<WG4012> sin<WG266>? And<WG1161> if<WG1487> I say<WG3004> the truth<WG225>, why<WG1302> do<WG4100> ye<WG5210> not<WG3756> believe<WG4100> me<WG3427>?


btext:
He that is<WG5607> of<WG1537> God<WG2316> heareth<WG191> God's<WG2316> words<WG4487>: ye<WG5210> therefore<WG5124><WG1223> hear<WG191> them not<WG3756>, because<WG3754> ye are<WG2075> not<WG3756> of<WG1537> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> answered<WG611> the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Say<WG3004> we<WG2249> not<WG3756> well<WG2573> that<WG3754> thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> a Samaritan<WG4541>, and<WG2532> hast<WG2192> a devil<WG1140>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, I<WG1473> have<WG2192> not<WG3756> a devil<WG1140>; but<WG235> I honour<WG5091> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>, and<WG2532> ye<WG5210> do dishonour<WG818> me<WG3165>.


btext:
And<WG1161> I<WG1473> seek<WG2212> not<WG3756> mine own<WG3450> glory<WG1391>: there is<WG2076> one that seeketh<WG2212> and<WG2532> judgeth<WG2919>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, If<WG1437> a man<WG5100> keep<WG5083> my<WG1699> saying<WG3056>, he shall<WG2334> never<WG3364><WG1519><WG165> see<WG2334> death<WG2288>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> the Jews<WG2453> unto him<WG846>, Now<WG3568> we know<WG1097> that<WG3754> thou hast<WG2192> a devil<WG1140>. Abraham<WG11> is dead<WG599>, and<WG2532> the prophets<WG4396>; and<WG2532> thou<WG4771> sayest<WG3004>, If<WG1437> a man<WG5100> keep<WG5083> my<WG3450> saying<WG3056>, he shall<WG1089> never<WG3364><WG1519><WG165> taste<WG1089> of death<WG2288>.


btext:
Art<WG3361><WG1488> thou<WG4771> greater than<WG3187> our<WG2257> father<WG3962> Abraham<WG11>, which<WG3748> is dead<WG599>? and<WG2532> the prophets<WG4396> are dead<WG599>: whom<WG5101> makest<WG4160> thou<WG4771> thyself<WG4572>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, If<WG1437> I<WG1473> honour<WG1392> myself<WG1683>, my<WG3450> honour<WG1391> is<WG2076> nothing<WG3762>: it is<WG2076> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962> that honoureth<WG1392> me<WG3165>; of whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> say<WG3004>, that<WG3754> he is<WG2076> your<WG5216> God<WG2316>:


btext:
Yet<WG2532> ye have<WG1097> not<WG3756> known<WG1097> him<WG846>; but<WG1161> I<WG1473> know<WG1492> him<WG846>: and<WG2532> if<WG1437> I should say<WG2036><WG3754>, I know<WG1492> him<WG846> not<WG3756>, I shall be<WG2071> a liar<WG5583> like<WG3664> unto you<WG5216>: but<WG235> I know<WG1492> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> keep<WG5083> his<WG846> saying<WG3056>.


btext:
Your<WG5216> father<WG3962> Abraham<WG11> rejoiced<WG21> to<WG2443> see<WG1492> my<WG1699> day<WG2250>: and<WG2532> he saw<WG1492> it, and<WG2532> was glad<WG5463>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> the Jews<WG2453> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Thou art<WG2192> not yet<WG3768> fifty<WG4004> years old<WG2094>, and<WG2532> hast thou seen<WG3708> Abraham<WG11>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Before<WG4250> Abraham<WG11> was<WG1096>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> took they up<WG142> stones<WG3037> to<WG2443> cast<WG906> at<WG1909> him<WG846>: but<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> hid himself<WG2928>, and<WG2532> went<WG1831> out of<WG1537> the temple<WG2411>, going<WG1330> through<WG1223> the midst<WG3319> of them<WG846>, and<WG2532> so<WG3779> passed by<WG3855>.


btext:
And<WG2532> as Jesus passed by<WG3855>, he saw<WG1492> a man<WG444> which was blind<WG5185> from<WG1537> his birth<WG1079>.


btext:
And<WG2532> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> asked<WG2065> him<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Master<WG4461>, who<WG5101> did sin<WG264>, this man<WG3778>, or<WG2228> his<WG846> parents<WG1118>, that<WG2443> he was born<WG1080> blind<WG5185>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Neither<WG3777> hath<WG264> this man<WG3778> sinned<WG264>, nor<WG3777> his<WG846> parents<WG1118>: but<WG235> that<WG2443> the works<WG2041> of God<WG2316> should be made manifest<WG5319> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
I<WG1691> must<WG1163> work<WG2038> the works<WG2041> of him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, while<WG2193> it is<WG2076> day<WG2250>: the night<WG3571> cometh<WG2064>, when<WG3753> no man<WG3762> can<WG1410> work<WG2038>.


btext:
As long as<WG3752> I am<WG5600> in<WG1722> the world<WG2889>, I am<WG1510> the light<WG5457> of the world<WG2889>.


btext:
When he had thus<WG5023> spoken<WG2036>, he spat<WG4429> on the ground<WG5476>, and<WG2532> made<WG4160> clay<WG4081> of<WG1537> the spittle<WG4427>, and<WG2532> he anointed<WG2025><WG1909> the eyes<WG3788> of the blind man<WG5185> with the clay<WG4081>, / anointed…: or, spread the clay upon the eyes of the blind man


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Go<WG5217>, wash<WG3538> in<WG1519> the pool<WG2861> of Siloam<WG4611>, (which<WG3739> is by interpretation<WG2059>, Sent<WG649>.) He went his way<WG565> therefore<WG3767>, and<WG2532> washed<WG3538>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> seeing<WG991>.


btext:
The neighbours<WG1069> therefore<WG3767>, and<WG2532> they which before<WG4386> had seen<WG2334> him<WG846> that<WG3754> he was<WG2258> blind<WG5185>, said<WG3004>, Is<WG2076> not<WG3756> this<WG3778> he that sat<WG2521> and<WG2532> begged<WG4319>?


btext:
Some<WG243> said<WG3004><WG3754>, This<WG3778> is he<WG2076><WG1161>: others<WG243> said,<WG3754> He is<WG2076> like<WG3664> him<WG846>: but he<WG1565> said<WG3004><WG3754>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> he.

Therefore<WG3767> said they<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, How<WG4459> were<WG455> thine<WG4675> eyes<WG3788> opened<WG455>?


btext:
He<WG1565> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, A man<WG444> that is called<WG3004> Jesus<WG2424> made<WG4160> clay<WG4081>, and<WG2532> anointed<WG2025> mine<WG3450> eyes<WG3788>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto me<WG3427>, Go<WG5217> to<WG1519> the pool<WG2861> of Siloam<WG4611>, and<WG2532> wash<WG3538>: and<WG1161> I went<WG565> and<WG2532> washed<WG3538>, and I received sight<WG308>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said they<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Where<WG4226> is<WG2076> he<WG1565>? He said<WG3004>, I know<WG1492> not<WG3756>.


btext:
They brought<WG71> to<WG4314> the Pharisees<WG5330> him<WG846> that aforetime<WG4218> was blind<WG5185>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it was<WG2258> the sabbath day<WG4521> when<WG3753> Jesus<WG2424> made<WG4160> the clay<WG4081>, and<WG2532> opened<WG455> his<WG846> eyes<WG3788>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> again<WG3825> the Pharisees<WG5330> also<WG2532> asked<WG2065> him<WG846> how<WG4459> he had received his sight<WG308><WG1161>. He said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, He put<WG2007> clay<WG4081> upon<WG1909> mine<WG3450> eyes<WG3788>, and<WG2532> I washed<WG3538>, and<WG2532> do see<WG991>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767> said<WG3004> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> the Pharisees<WG5330>, This<WG3778> man<WG444> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> of<WG3844> God<WG2316>, because<WG3754> he keepeth<WG5083> not<WG3756> the sabbath day<WG4521>. Others<WG243> said<WG3004>, How<WG4459> can<WG1410> a man<WG444> that is a sinner<WG268> do<WG4160> such<WG5108> miracles<WG4592>? And<WG2532> there was<WG2258> a division<WG4978> among<WG1722> them<WG846>.


btext:
They say<WG3004> unto the blind man<WG5185> again<WG3825>, What<WG5101> sayest<WG3004> thou<WG4771> of<WG4012> him<WG846>, that<WG3754> he hath opened<WG455> thine<WG4675> eyes<WG3788>? He said<WG2036><WG3754><WG1161>, He is<WG2076> a prophet<WG4396>.


btext:
But<WG3767> the Jews<WG2453> did<WG4100> not<WG3756> believe<WG4100> concerning<WG4012> him<WG846>, that<WG3754> he had been<WG2258> blind<WG5185>, and<WG2532> received his sight<WG308>, until<WG2193><WG3755> they called<WG5455> the parents<WG1118> of him<WG846> that had received his sight<WG308>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they asked<WG2065> them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Is<WG2076> this<WG3778> your<WG5216> son<WG5207>, who<WG3739> ye<WG5210> say<WG3004><WG3754> was born<WG1080> blind<WG5185>? how<WG4459> then<WG3767> doth he<WG991> now<WG737> see<WG991>?


btext:
His<WG846> parents<WG1118> answered<WG611> them<WG846> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, We know<WG1492> that<WG3754> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> our<WG2257> son<WG5207>, and<WG2532> that<WG3754> he was born<WG1080> blind<WG5185>:


btext:
But<WG1161> by what means<WG4459> he<WG991> now<WG3568> seeth<WG991>, we know<WG1492> not<WG3756>; or<WG2228> who<WG5101> hath opened<WG455> his<WG846> eyes<WG3788>, we<WG2249> know<WG1492> not<WG3756>: he<WG846> is<WG2192> of age<WG2244>; ask<WG2065> him<WG846>: he<WG846> shall speak<WG2980> for<WG4012> himself<WG848>.


btext:
These<WG5023> words spake<WG2036> his<WG846> parents<WG1118>, because<WG3754> they feared<WG5399> the Jews<WG2453>: for<WG1063> the Jews<WG2453> had agreed<WG4934> already<WG2235>, that<WG2443> if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> did confess<WG3670> that he<WG846> was Christ<WG5547>, he should be<WG1096> put out of the synagogue<WG656>.


btext:
Therefore<WG1223><WG5124> said<WG2036> his<WG846> parents<WG1118><WG3754>, He is<WG2192> of age<WG2244>; ask<WG2065> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> again<WG1208><WG1537> called they<WG5455> the man<WG444> that<WG3739> was<WG2258> blind<WG5185>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Give<WG1325> God<WG2316> the praise<WG1391>: we<WG2249> know<WG1492> that<WG3754> this<WG3778> man<WG444> is<WG2076> a sinner<WG268>.


btext:
<WG3767> He<WG1565> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Whether<WG1487> he be<WG2076> a sinner<WG268> or no, I know<WG1492> not<WG3756>: one thing<WG1520> I know<WG1492>, that<WG3754>, whereas I was<WG5607> blind<WG5185>, now<WG737> I see<WG991>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> said they<WG2036> to him<WG846> again<WG3825>, What<WG5101> did he<WG4160> to thee<WG4671>? how<WG4459> opened he<WG455> thine<WG4675> eyes<WG3788>?


btext:
He answered<WG611> them<WG846>, I have told<WG2036> you<WG5213> already<WG2235>, and<WG2532> ye did<WG191> not<WG3756> hear<WG191>: wherefore<WG5101> would<WG2309> ye hear<WG191> it again<WG3825>? will<WG3361><WG2309> ye<WG5210> also<WG2532> be<WG1096> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> they reviled<WG3058> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> his<WG1565> disciple<WG3101>; but<WG1161> we<WG2249> are<WG2070> Moses'<WG3475> disciples<WG3101>.


btext:
We<WG2249> know<WG1492> that<WG3754> God<WG2316> spake<WG2980> unto Moses<WG3475>: as for this<WG1161><WG5126> fellow, we know<WG1492> not<WG3756> from whence<WG4159> he is<WG2076>.


btext:
The man<WG444> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Why<WG1063> herein<WG1722><WG5129> is<WG2076> a marvellous thing<WG2298>, that<WG3754> ye<WG5210> know<WG1492> not<WG3756> from whence<WG4159> he is<WG2076>, and<WG2532> yet he hath opened<WG455> mine<WG3450> eyes<WG3788>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> we know<WG1492> that<WG3754> God<WG2316> heareth<WG191> not<WG3756> sinners<WG268>: but<WG235> if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> be<WG5600> a worshipper of God<WG2318>, and<WG2532> doeth<WG4160> his<WG846> will<WG2307>, him<WG5127> he heareth<WG191>.


btext:
Since<WG1537> the world began<WG165> was it<WG191> not<WG3756> heard<WG191> that<WG3754> any man<WG5100> opened<WG455> the eyes<WG3788> of one that was born<WG1080> blind<WG5185>.


btext:
If<WG1508> this man<WG3778> were<WG2258> not<WG1508> of<WG3844> God<WG2316>, he could<WG1410><WG3756> do<WG4160> nothing<WG3762>.


btext:
They answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Thou<WG4771> wast<WG1080> altogether<WG3650> born<WG1080> in<WG1722> sins<WG266>, and<WG2532> dost thou<WG4771> teach<WG1321> us<WG2248>? And<WG2532> they cast<WG1544> him<WG846> out<WG1854>. / cast…: or, excommunicated him


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> heard<WG191> that<WG3754> they had cast<WG1544> him<WG846> out<WG1854>; and<WG2532> when he had found<WG2147> him<WG846>, he said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Dost<WG4100> thou<WG4771> believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>?


btext:
He<WG1565> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Who<WG5101> is he<WG2076>, Lord<WG2962>, that<WG2443> I might believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>?


btext:
And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Thou hast<WG3708> both<WG2532> seen<WG3708> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> it is<WG2076> he<WG1565> that talketh<WG2980> with<WG3326> thee<WG4675>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG5346>, Lord<WG2962>, I believe<WG4100>. And<WG2532> he worshipped<WG4352> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036>, For<WG1519> judgment<WG2917> I<WG1473> am come<WG2064> into<WG1519> this<WG5126> world<WG2889>, that<WG2443> they which see<WG991> not<WG3361> might see<WG991>; and<WG2532> that they which see<WG991> might be made<WG1096> blind<WG5185>.


btext:
And<WG2532> some of<WG1537> the Pharisees<WG5330> which<WG3588> were<WG5607> with<WG3326> him<WG846> heard<WG191> these words<WG5023>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Are<WG3361><WG2070> we<WG2249> blind<WG5185> also<WG2532>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, If<WG1487> ye were<WG2258> blind<WG5185>, ye should<WG302> have<WG2192> no<WG3756> sin<WG266>: but<WG1161> now<WG3568> ye say<WG3004><WG3754>, We see<WG991>; therefore<WG3767> your<WG5216> sin<WG266> remaineth<WG3306>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, He that entereth<WG1525> not<WG3361> by<WG1223> the door<WG2374> into<WG1519> the sheepfold<WG4263><WG833>, but<WG235> climbeth up<WG305> some other way<WG237>, the same<WG1565> is<WG2076> a thief<WG2812> and<WG2532> a robber<WG3027>.


btext:
But<WG1161> he that entereth in<WG1525> by<WG1223> the door<WG2374> is<WG2076> the shepherd<WG4166> of the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
To him<WG5129> the porter<WG2377> openeth<WG455>; and<WG2532> the sheep<WG4263> hear<WG191> his<WG846> voice<WG5456>: and<WG2532> he calleth<WG2564> his own<WG2398> sheep<WG4263> by<WG2596> name<WG3686>, and<WG2532> leadeth<WG1806> them<WG846> out<WG1806>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when<WG3752> he putteth forth<WG1544> his own<WG2398> sheep<WG4263>, he goeth<WG4198> before<WG1715> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> the sheep<WG4263> follow<WG190> him<WG846>: for<WG3754> they know<WG1492> his<WG846> voice<WG5456>.


btext:
And<WG1161> a stranger<WG245> will they<WG190> not<WG3364> follow<WG190>, but<WG235> will flee<WG5343> from<WG575> him<WG846>: for<WG3754> they know<WG1492> not<WG3756> the voice<WG5456> of strangers<WG245>.


btext:
This<WG5026> parable<WG3942> spake<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto them<WG846>: but<WG1161> they<WG1565> understood<WG1097> not<WG3756> what things<WG5101> they were<WG2258> which<WG3739> he spake<WG2980> unto them<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto them<WG846> again<WG3825>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213><WG3754>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the door<WG2374> of the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
All<WG3956> that ever<WG3745> came<WG2064> before<WG4253> me<WG1700> are<WG1526> thieves<WG2812> and<WG2532> robbers<WG3027>: but<WG235> the sheep<WG4263> did<WG191> not<WG3756> hear<WG191> them<WG846>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the door<WG2374>: by<WG1223> me<WG1700> if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> enter in<WG1525>, he shall be saved<WG4982>, and<WG2532> shall go in<WG1525> and<WG2532> out<WG1831>, and<WG2532> find<WG2147> pasture<WG3542>.


btext:
The thief<WG2812> cometh<WG2064> not<WG3756>, but<WG1508> for to<WG2443> steal<WG2813>, and<WG2532> to kill<WG2380>, and<WG2532> to destroy<WG622>: I<WG1473> am come<WG2064> that<WG2443> they might have<WG2192> life<WG2222>, and<WG2532> that they might have<WG2192> it more abundantly<WG4053>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the good<WG2570> shepherd<WG4166>: the good<WG2570> shepherd<WG4166> giveth<WG5087> his<WG846> life<WG5590> for<WG5228> the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
But<WG1161> he that is<WG5607> an hireling<WG3411>, and<WG2532> not<WG3756> the shepherd<WG4166>, whose<WG3739> own<WG2398> the sheep<WG4263> are<WG1526> not<WG3756>, seeth<WG2334> the wolf<WG3074> coming<WG2064>, and<WG2532> leaveth<WG863> the sheep<WG4263>, and<WG2532> fleeth<WG5343>: and<WG2532> the wolf<WG3074> catcheth<WG726> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> scattereth<WG4650> the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
<WG1161> The hireling<WG3411> fleeth<WG5343>, because<WG3754> he is<WG2076> an hireling<WG3411>, and<WG2532><WG846> careth<WG3199> not<WG3756> for<WG4012> the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the good<WG2570> shepherd<WG4166>, and<WG2532> know<WG1097> my<WG1699> sheep, and<WG2532> am known<WG1097> of<WG5259> mine<WG1699>.


btext:
As<WG2531> the Father<WG3962> knoweth<WG1097> me<WG3165>, even so<WG2504> know<WG1097> I<WG2504> the Father<WG3962>: and<WG2532> I lay down<WG5087> my<WG3450> life<WG5590> for<WG5228> the sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
And<WG2532> other<WG243> sheep<WG4263> I have<WG2192>, which<WG3739> are<WG2076> not<WG3756> of<WG1537> this<WG5026> fold<WG833>: them also<WG2548> I<WG3165> must<WG1163> bring<WG71>, and<WG2532> they shall hear<WG191> my<WG3450> voice<WG5456>; and<WG2532> there shall be<WG1096> one<WG3391> fold<WG4167>, and one<WG1520> shepherd<WG4166>.


btext:
Therefore<WG5124><WG1223> doth<WG25> my Father<WG3962> love<WG25> me<WG3165>, because<WG3754> I<WG1473> lay down<WG5087> my<WG3450> life<WG5590>, that<WG2443> I might take<WG2983> it<WG846> again<WG3825>.


btext:
No man<WG3762> taketh<WG142> it<WG846> from<WG575> me<WG1700>, but<WG235> I<WG1473> lay<WG5087> it<WG846> down<WG5087> of<WG575> myself<WG1683>. I have<WG2192> power<WG1849> to lay<WG5087> it<WG846> down<WG5087>, and<WG2532> I have<WG2192> power<WG1849> to take<WG2983> it<WG846> again<WG3825>. This<WG5026> commandment<WG1785> have I received<WG2983> of<WG3844> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>.


btext:
There was<WG1096> a division<WG4978> therefore<WG3767> again<WG3825> among<WG1722> the Jews<WG2453> for<WG1223> these<WG5128> sayings<WG3056>.


btext:
And<WG1161> many<WG4183> of<WG1537> them<WG846> said<WG3004>, He hath<WG2192> a devil<WG1140>, and<WG2532> is mad<WG3105>; why<WG5101> hear ye<WG191> him<WG846>?


btext:
Others<WG243> said<WG3004>, These<WG5023> are<WG2076> not<WG3756> the words<WG4487> of him that hath a devil<WG1139>. Can<WG3361><WG1410> a devil<WG1140> open<WG455> the eyes<WG3788> of the blind<WG5185>?


btext:
And<WG1161> it was<WG1096> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414> the feast of the dedication<WG1456>, and<WG2532> it was<WG2258> winter<WG5494>.


btext:
And<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> walked<WG4043> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411> in<WG1722> Solomon's<WG4672> porch<WG4745>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> came<WG2944> the Jews<WG2453> round about<WG2944> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, How long<WG2193><WG4219> dost thou make<WG142> us<WG2257> to doubt<WG5590>? If<WG1487> thou<WG4771> be<WG1488> the Christ<WG5547>, tell<WG2036> us<WG2254> plainly<WG3954>. / make…: or, hold us in suspense


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, I told<WG2036> you<WG5213>, and<WG2532> ye believed<WG4100> not<WG3756>: the works<WG2041> that<WG3739> I<WG1473> do<WG4160> in<WG1722> my<WG3450> Father's<WG3962> name<WG3686>, they<WG5023> bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>.


btext:
But<WG235> ye<WG5210> believe<WG4100> not<WG3756>, because<WG1063> ye are<WG2075> not<WG3756> of<WG1537> my<WG1699> sheep<WG4263>, as<WG2531> I said<WG2036> unto you<WG5213>.


btext:
My<WG1699> sheep<WG4263> hear<WG191> my<WG3450> voice<WG5456>, and I<WG2504> know<WG1097> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> they follow<WG190> me<WG3427>:

And I<WG2504> give<WG1325> unto them<WG846> eternal<WG166> life<WG2222>; and<WG2532> they shall<WG622> never<WG3364><WG1519><WG165> perish<WG622>, neither<WG2532><WG3756> shall<WG726> any<WG5100> man pluck<WG726> them<WG846> out of<WG1537> my<WG3450> hand<WG5495>.


btext:
My<WG3450> Father<WG3962>, which<WG3739> gave<WG1325> them me<WG3427>, is<WG2076> greater than<WG3187> all<WG3956>; and<WG2532> no<WG3762> man is able<WG1410> to pluck<WG726> them out of<WG1537> my<WG3450> Father's<WG3962> hand<WG5495>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> the Jews<WG2453> took up<WG941> stones<WG3037> again<WG3825> to<WG2443> stone<WG3034> him<WG846>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, Many<WG4183> good<WG2570> works<WG2041> have I shewed<WG1166> you<WG5213> from<WG1537> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>; for<WG1223> which<WG4169> of those<WG846> works<WG2041> do ye stone<WG3034> me<WG3165>?


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, For<WG4012> a good<WG2570> work<WG2041> we stone<WG3034> thee<WG4571> not<WG3756>; but<WG235> for<WG4012> blasphemy<WG988>; and<WG2532> because<WG3754> that thou<WG4771>, being<WG5607> a man<WG444>, makest<WG4160> thyself<WG4572> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, Is it<WG2076> not<WG3756> written<WG1125> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> law<WG3551>, I<WG1473> said<WG2036>, Ye are<WG2075> gods<WG2316>?


btext:
If<WG1487> he called<WG2036> them<WG1565> gods<WG2316>, unto<WG4314> whom<WG3739> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> came<WG1096>, and<WG2532> the scripture<WG1124> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> be broken<WG3089>;


btext:
Say<WG3004> ye<WG5210> of him, whom<WG3739> the Father<WG3962> hath sanctified<WG37>, and<WG2532> sent<WG649> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889><WG3754>, Thou blasphemest<WG987>; because<WG3754> I said<WG2036>, I am<WG1510> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>?


btext:
If<WG1487> I do<WG4160> not<WG3756> the works<WG2041> of my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>, believe<WG4100> me<WG3427> not<WG3361>.


btext:
But<WG1161> if<WG1487> I do<WG4160>, though<WG2579> ye believe<WG4100> not<WG3361> me<WG1698>, believe<WG4100> the works<WG2041>: that<WG2443> ye may know<WG1097>, and<WG2532> believe<WG4100>, that<WG3754> the Father<WG3962> is in<WG1722> me<WG1698>, and I<WG2504> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767> they sought<WG2212> again<WG3825> to take<WG4084> him<WG846>: but<WG2532> he escaped<WG1831> out of<WG1537> their<WG846> hand<WG5495>,


btext:
And<WG2532> went away<WG565> again<WG3825> beyond<WG4008> Jordan<WG2446> into<WG1519> the place<WG5117> where<WG3699> John<WG2491> at first<WG4412> baptized<WG907><WG2258>; and<WG2532> there<WG1563> he abode<WG3306>.


btext:
And<WG2532> many<WG4183> resorted<WG2064> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004><WG3754>, John<WG2491> did<WG4160> no<WG3303><WG3762> miracle<WG4592>: but<WG1161> all things<WG3956> that<WG3745> John<WG2491> spake<WG2036> of<WG4012> this man<WG5127> were<WG2258> true<WG227>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> a certain<WG5100> man was<WG2258> sick<WG770>, named Lazarus<WG2976>, of<WG575> Bethany<WG963><WG1537>, the town<WG2968> of Mary<WG3137> and<WG2532> her<WG846> sister<WG79> Martha<WG3136>.


btext:
<WG1161> (It was<WG2258> that Mary<WG3137> which<WG3588> anointed<WG218> the Lord<WG2962> with ointment<WG3464>, and<WG2532> wiped<WG1591> his<WG846> feet<WG4228> with her<WG846> hair<WG2359>, whose<WG3739> brother<WG80> Lazarus<WG2976> was sick<WG770>.)


btext:
Therefore<WG3767> his sisters<WG79> sent<WG649> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Lord<WG2962>, behold<WG2396>, he whom<WG3739> thou lovest<WG5368> is sick<WG770>.


btext:
When<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> heard<WG191> that, he said<WG2036>, This<WG3778> sickness<WG769> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> unto<WG4314> death<WG2288>, but<WG235> for<WG5228> the glory<WG1391> of God<WG2316>, that<WG2443> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316> might be glorified<WG1392> thereby<WG1223><WG846>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> loved<WG25> Martha<WG3136>, and<WG2532> her<WG846> sister<WG79>, and<WG2532> Lazarus<WG2976>.


btext:
When<WG5613> he had heard<WG191> therefore<WG3767> that<WG3754> he was sick<WG770>, he abode<WG3306> two<WG1417> days<WG2250> still<WG5119><WG3303> in<WG1722> the same place<WG5117> where<WG3739> he was<WG2258>.


btext:
Then<WG1899> after<WG3326> that<WG5124> saith he<WG3004> to his disciples<WG3101>, Let us go<WG71> into<WG1519> Judaea<WG2449> again<WG3825>.


btext:
His disciples<WG3101> say<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Master<WG4461>, the Jews<WG2453> of late<WG3568> sought<WG2212> to stone<WG3034> thee<WG4571>; and<WG2532> goest thou<WG5217> thither<WG1563> again<WG3825>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Are there<WG1526> not<WG3780> twelve<WG1427> hours<WG5610> in the day<WG2250>? If<WG1437> any man<WG5100> walk<WG4043> in<WG1722> the day<WG2250>, he stumbleth<WG4350> not<WG3756>, because<WG3754> he seeth<WG991> the light<WG5457> of this<WG5127> world<WG2889>.


btext:
But<WG1161> if<WG1437> a man<WG5100> walk<WG4043> in<WG1722> the night<WG3571>, he stumbleth<WG4350>, because<WG3754> there is<WG2076> no<WG3756> light<WG5457> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
These things<WG5023> said<WG2036> he<WG846>: and<WG2532> after<WG3326> that<WG5124> he saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Our<WG2257> friend<WG5384> Lazarus<WG2976> sleepeth<WG2837>; but<WG235> I go<WG4198>, that<WG2443> I may awake<WG1852> him<WG846> out of sleep<WG1852>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, Lord<WG2962>, if<WG1487> he sleep<WG2837>, he shall do well<WG4982>.


btext:
Howbeit<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> spake<WG2046> of<WG4012> his<WG846> death<WG2288>: but<WG1161> they<WG1565> thought<WG1380> that<WG3754> he had spoken<WG3004> of<WG4012> taking of rest<WG2838> in sleep<WG5258>.


btext:
Then<WG5119><WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> unto them<WG846> plainly<WG3954>, Lazarus<WG2976> is dead<WG599>.


btext:
And<WG2532> I am glad<WG5463> for<WG1223> your sakes<WG5209> that<WG3754> I was<WG2252><WG2258> not<WG3756> there<WG1563>, to the intent<WG2443> ye may believe<WG4100>; nevertheless<WG235> let us go<WG71> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Thomas<WG2381>, which<WG3588> is called<WG3004> Didymus<WG1324>, unto his fellowdisciples<WG4827>, Let us<WG71> also<WG2532> go<WG71>, that<WG2443> we<WG2249> may die<WG599> with<WG3326> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> when Jesus<WG2424> came<WG2064>, he found<WG2147> that he<WG846> had<WG2192> lain in<WG1722> the grave<WG3419> four<WG5064> days<WG2250> already<WG2235>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> Bethany<WG963> was<WG2258> nigh<WG1451> unto Jerusalem<WG2414>, about<WG5613> fifteen<WG1178> furlongs<WG4712> off<WG575>: / about…: that is, about two miles


btext:
And<WG2532> many<WG4183> of<WG1537> the Jews<WG2453> came<WG2064> to<WG4314> Martha<WG3136> and<WG2532> Mary<WG3137><WG4012>, to<WG2443> comfort<WG3888> them<WG846> concerning<WG4012> their<WG846> brother<WG80>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Martha<WG3136>, as soon as<WG5613> she heard<WG191> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> was coming<WG2064>, went and met<WG5221> him<WG846>: but<WG1161> Mary<WG3137> sat<WG2516> still in<WG1722> the house<WG3624>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Martha<WG3136> unto<WG4314> Jesus<WG2424>, Lord<WG2962>, if<WG1487> thou hadst been<WG2258> here<WG5602>, my<WG3450> brother<WG80><WG302> had<WG2348> not<WG3756> died<WG2348>.


btext:
But<WG235> I know<WG1492>, that even<WG2532> now<WG3568>, whatsoever<WG3754><WG3745><WG302> thou wilt ask<WG154> of God<WG2316>, God<WG2316> will give<WG1325> it thee<WG4671>.


btext:
Martha<WG3136> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, I know<WG1492> that<WG3754> he shall rise again<WG450> in<WG1722> the resurrection<WG386> at<WG1722> the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto her<WG846>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> the resurrection<WG386>, and<WG2532> the life<WG2222>: he that believeth<WG4100> in<WG1519> me<WG1691>, though<WG2579> he were dead<WG599>, yet shall he live<WG2198>:


btext:
And<WG2532> whosoever<WG3956> liveth<WG2198> and<WG2532> believeth<WG4100> in<WG1519> me<WG1691> shall<WG599> never<WG3364><WG1519><WG165> die<WG599>. Believest thou<WG4100> this<WG5124>?


btext:
She saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Yea<WG3483>, Lord<WG2962>: I<WG1473> believe<WG4100> that<WG3754> thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> the Christ<WG5547>, the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>, which<WG3588> should come<WG2064> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when she had<WG2036> so<WG5023> said<WG2036>, she went her way<WG565>, and<WG2532> called<WG5455> Mary<WG3137> her<WG846> sister<WG79> secretly<WG2977>, saying<WG2036>, The Master<WG1320> is come<WG3918>, and<WG2532> calleth for<WG5455> thee<WG4571>.


btext:
As soon as<WG5613> she<WG1565> heard<WG191> that, she arose<WG1453> quickly<WG5035>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> was<WG2064> not yet<WG3768> come<WG2064> into<WG1519> the town<WG2968>, but<WG235> was<WG2258> in<WG1722> that place<WG5117> where<WG3699> Martha<WG3136> met<WG5221> him<WG846>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> then<WG3767> which<WG3588> were<WG5607> with<WG3326> her<WG846> in<WG1722> the house<WG3614>, and<WG2532> comforted<WG3888> her<WG846>, when they saw<WG1492> Mary<WG3137>, that<WG3754> she rose up<WG450> hastily<WG5030> and<WG2532> went out<WG1831>, followed<WG190> her<WG846>, saying<WG3004><WG3754>, She goeth<WG5217> unto<WG1519> the grave<WG3419> to<WG2443> weep<WG2799> there<WG1563>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> when<WG5613> Mary<WG3137> was come<WG2064> where<WG3699> Jesus<WG2424> was<WG2258>, and saw<WG1492> him<WG846>, she fell down<WG4098> at<WG1519> his<WG846> feet<WG4228>, saying<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, if<WG1487> thou hadst been<WG2258> here<WG5602>, my<WG3450> brother<WG80> had<WG302> not<WG3756> died<WG599>.


btext:
When<WG5613> Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> saw<WG1492> her<WG846> weeping<WG2799>, and<WG2532> the Jews<WG2453> also weeping<WG2799> which came<WG4905> with her<WG846>, he groaned<WG1690> in the spirit<WG4151>, and<WG2532> was troubled<WG5015><WG1438>, / was troubled: Gr. he troubled himself


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Where<WG4226> have ye laid<WG5087> him<WG846>? They said<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, come<WG2064> and<WG2532> see<WG1492>.


btext:
And<WG1161> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846> said<WG2036>, Could<WG1410> not<WG3756> this man<WG3778>, which<WG3588> opened<WG455> the eyes<WG3788> of the blind<WG5185>, have caused<WG4160> that<WG2443> even<WG2532> this man<WG3778> should<WG599> not<WG3361> have died<WG599>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> again<WG3825> groaning<WG1690> in<WG1722> himself<WG1438> cometh<WG2064> to<WG1519> the grave<WG3419><WG1161>. It was<WG2258> a cave<WG4693>, and<WG2532> a stone<WG3037> lay<WG1945> upon<WG1909> it<WG846>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> said<WG3004>, Take ye away<WG142> the stone<WG3037>. Martha<WG3136>, the sister<WG79> of him that was dead<WG2348>, saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, by this time<WG2235> he stinketh<WG3605>: for<WG1063> he hath been<WG2076> dead four days<WG5066>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Said I<WG2036> not<WG3756> unto thee<WG4671>, that<WG3754>, if<WG1437> thou wouldest believe<WG4100>, thou shouldest see<WG3700> the glory<WG1391> of God<WG2316>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> they took away<WG142> the stone<WG3037> from the place where<WG3757> the dead<WG2348> was<WG2258> laid<WG2749>. And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> lifted<WG142> up<WG507> his eyes<WG3788>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Father<WG3962>, I thank<WG2168> thee<WG4671> that<WG3754> thou hast heard<WG191> me<WG3450>.


btext:
And<WG1161> I<WG1473> knew<WG1492> that<WG3754> thou hearest<WG191> me<WG3450> always<WG3842>: but<WG235> because<WG1223> of the people<WG3793> which<WG3588> stand by<WG4026> I said<WG2036> it, that<WG2443> they may believe<WG4100> that<WG3754> thou<WG4771> hast sent<WG649> me<WG3165>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he thus<WG5023> had spoken<WG2036>, he cried<WG2905> with a loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, Lazarus<WG2976>, come<WG1204> forth<WG1854>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he that was dead<WG2348> came forth<WG1831>, bound<WG1210> hand<WG5495> and<WG2532> foot<WG4228> with graveclothes<WG2750>: and<WG2532> his<WG846> face<WG3799> was bound about<WG4019> with a napkin<WG4676>. Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Loose<WG3089> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> let him<WG863> go<WG5217>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> many<WG4183> of<WG1537> the Jews<WG2453> which<WG3588> came<WG2064> to<WG4314> Mary<WG3137>, and<WG2532> had seen<WG2300> the things which<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> did<WG4160>, believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846> went their ways<WG565> to<WG4314> the Pharisees<WG5330>, and<WG2532> told<WG2036> them<WG846> what things<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> had done<WG4160>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> gathered<WG4863> the chief priests<WG749> and<WG2532> the Pharisees<WG5330> a council<WG4892>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004>, What<WG5101> do we<WG4160>? for<WG3754> this<WG3778> man<WG444> doeth<WG4160> many<WG4183> miracles<WG4592>.


btext:
If<WG1437> we let<WG863> him<WG846> thus<WG3779> alone<WG863>, all<WG3956> men will believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>: and<WG2532> the Romans<WG4514> shall come<WG2064> and<WG2532> take away<WG142> both<WG2532> our<WG2257> place<WG5117> and<WG2532> nation<WG1484>.


btext:
And<WG1161> one<WG1520><WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846>, named Caiaphas<WG2533>, being<WG5607> the high priest<WG749> that same<WG1565> year<WG1763>, said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Ye<WG5210> know<WG1492> nothing at all<WG3756><WG3762>,


btext:
Nor<WG3761> consider<WG1260> that<WG3754> it is expedient<WG4851> for us<WG2254>, that<WG2443> one<WG1520> man<WG444> should die<WG599> for<WG5228> the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> that the whole<WG3650> nation<WG1484> perish<WG622> not<WG3361>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> spake he<WG2036> not<WG3756> of<WG575> himself<WG1438>: but<WG235> being<WG5607> high priest<WG749> that<WG1565> year<WG1763>, he prophesied<WG4395> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> should<WG3195> die<WG599> for that<WG5228> nation<WG1484>;


btext:
And<WG2532> not<WG3756> for that<WG5228> nation<WG1484> only<WG3440>, but<WG235> that<WG2443> also<WG2532> he should gather together<WG4863> in<WG1519> one<WG1520> the children<WG5043> of God<WG2316> that were scattered abroad<WG1287>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> from<WG575> that<WG1565> day<WG2250> forth they took counsel together<WG4823> for to<WG2443> put<WG615> him<WG846> to death<WG615>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> walked<WG4043> no more<WG3765> openly<WG3954> among<WG1722> the Jews<WG2453>; but<WG235> went<WG565> thence<WG1564> unto<WG1519> a country<WG5561> near<WG1451> to the wilderness<WG2048>, into<WG1519> a city<WG4172> called<WG3004> Ephraim<WG2187>, and there<WG2546> continued<WG1304> with<WG3326> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the Jews'<WG2453> passover<WG3957> was<WG2258> nigh at hand<WG1451>: and<WG2532> many<WG4183> went<WG305> out of<WG1537> the country<WG5561> up<WG1519> to Jerusalem<WG2414> before<WG4253> the passover<WG3957>, to<WG2443> purify<WG48> themselves<WG1438>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> sought they for<WG2212> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> spake<WG3004> among<WG3326> themselves<WG240>, as they stood<WG2476> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, What<WG5101> think<WG1380> ye<WG5213>, that<WG3754> he will<WG2064> not<WG3364> come<WG2064> to<WG1519> the feast<WG1859>?


btext:
Now<WG1161> both<WG2532> the chief priests<WG749> and<WG2532> the Pharisees<WG5330> had given<WG1325> a commandment<WG1785>, that<WG2443>, if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> knew<WG1097> where<WG4226> he were<WG2076>, he should shew<WG3377> it, that<WG3704> they might take<WG4084> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> six<WG1803> days<WG2250> before<WG4253> the passover<WG3957> came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Bethany<WG963>, where<WG3699> Lazarus<WG2976> was<WG2258> which<WG3588> had been dead<WG2348>, whom<WG3739> he raised<WG1453> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
There<WG1563><WG3767> they made<WG4160> him<WG846> a supper<WG1173>; and<WG2532> Martha<WG3136> served<WG1247>: but<WG1161> Lazarus<WG2976> was<WG2258> one<WG1520> of them that sat at the table<WG4873> with him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> took<WG2983> Mary<WG3137> a pound<WG3046> of ointment<WG3464> of spikenard<WG3487><WG4101>, very costly<WG4186>, and anointed<WG218> the feet<WG4228> of Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> wiped<WG1591> his<WG846> feet<WG4228> with her<WG846> hair<WG2359>: and<WG1161> the house<WG3614> was filled<WG4137> with<WG1537> the odour<WG3744> of the ointment<WG3464>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> saith<WG3004> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, Judas<WG2455> Iscariot<WG2469>, Simon's<WG4613> son, which<WG3588> should<WG3195> betray<WG3860> him<WG846>,


btext:
Why<WG1302> was<WG4097> not<WG3756> this<WG5124> ointment<WG3464> sold<WG4097> for three hundred<WG5145> pence<WG1220>, and<WG2532> given<WG1325> to the poor<WG4434>?


btext:
<WG1161> This<WG5124> he said<WG2036>, not<WG3756> that<WG3754> he<WG846> cared<WG3199> for<WG4012> the poor<WG4434>; but<WG235> because<WG3754> he was<WG2258> a thief<WG2812>, and<WG2532> had<WG2192> the bag<WG1101>, and<WG2532> bare<WG941> what was put therein<WG906>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424>, Let<WG863> her<WG846> alone<WG863>: against<WG1519> the day<WG2250> of my<WG3450> burying<WG1780> hath she kept<WG5083> this<WG846>.


btext:
For<WG1063> the poor<WG4434> always<WG3842> ye have<WG2192> with<WG3326> you<WG1438>; but<WG1161> me<WG1691> ye have<WG2192> not<WG3756> always<WG3842>.


btext:
Much<WG4183> people<WG3793> of<WG1537> the Jews<WG2453> therefore<WG3767> knew<WG1097> that<WG3754> he was<WG2076> there<WG1563>: and<WG2532> they came<WG2064> not<WG3756> for<WG1223> Jesus'<WG2424> sake only<WG3440>, but<WG235> that<WG2443> they might see<WG1492> Lazarus<WG2976> also<WG2532>, whom<WG3739> he had raised<WG1453> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
But<WG1161> the chief priests<WG749> consulted<WG1011> that<WG2443> they might put<WG615> Lazarus<WG2976> also<WG2532> to death<WG615>;


btext:
Because<WG3754> that by reason<WG1223> of him<WG846> many<WG4183> of the Jews<WG2453> went away<WG5217>, and<WG2532> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
On the next day<WG1887> much<WG4183> people<WG3793> that were come<WG2064> to<WG1519> the feast<WG1859>, when they heard<WG191> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> was coming<WG2064> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2414>,


btext:
Took<WG2983> branches<WG902> of palm trees<WG5404>, and<WG2532> went forth<WG1831> to<WG1519> meet<WG5222> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> cried<WG2896>, Hosanna<WG5614>: Blessed<WG2127> is the King<WG935> of Israel<WG2474> that cometh<WG2064> in<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424>, when he had found<WG2147> a young ass<WG3678>, sat<WG2523> thereon<WG1909><WG846>; as<WG2531> it is<WG2076> written<WG1125>,


btext:
Fear<WG5399> not<WG3361>, daughter<WG2364> of Sion<WG4622>: behold<WG2400>, thy<WG4675> King<WG935> cometh<WG2064>, sitting<WG2521> on<WG1909> an ass's<WG3688> colt<WG4454>.


btext:
<WG1161> These things<WG5023> understood<WG1097> not<WG3756> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> at the first<WG4412>: but<WG235> when<WG3753> Jesus<WG2424> was glorified<WG1392>, then<WG5119> remembered they<WG3415> that<WG3754> these things<WG5023> were<WG2258> written<WG1125> of<WG1909> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> that they had done<WG4160> these things<WG5023> unto him<WG846>.


btext:
The people<WG3793> therefore<WG3767> that was<WG5607> with<WG3326> him<WG846> when<WG3753> he called<WG5455> Lazarus<WG2976> out of<WG1537> his grave<WG3419>, and<WG2532> raised<WG1453> him<WG846> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>, bare record<WG3140>.


btext:
For this<WG5124> cause<WG1223> the people<WG3793> also<WG2532> met<WG5221> him<WG846>, for that<WG3754> they heard<WG191> that<WG846> he had done<WG4160> this<WG5124> miracle<WG4592>.


btext:
The Pharisees<WG5330> therefore<WG3767> said<WG2036> among<WG4314> themselves<WG1438>, Perceive ye<WG2334> how<WG3754> ye prevail<WG5623> nothing<WG3756><WG3762>? behold<WG2396>, the world<WG2889> is gone<WG565> after<WG3694> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there were<WG2258> certain<WG5100> Greeks<WG1672> among<WG1537> them that came up<WG305> to<WG2443> worship<WG4352> at<WG1722> the feast<WG1859>:


btext:
The same<WG3778> came<WG4334> therefore<WG3767> to Philip<WG5376>, which was of<WG575> Bethsaida<WG966> of Galilee<WG1056>, and<WG2532> desired<WG2065> him<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Sir<WG2962>, we would<WG2309> see<WG1492> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
Philip<WG5376> cometh<WG2064> and<WG2532> telleth<WG3004> Andrew<WG406>: and<WG2532> again<WG3825> Andrew<WG406> and<WG2532> Philip<WG5376> tell<WG3004> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, The hour<WG5610> is come<WG2064>, that<WG2443> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> should be glorified<WG1392>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Except<WG3362> a corn<WG2848> of wheat<WG4621> fall<WG4098> into<WG1519> the ground<WG1093> and die<WG599>, it<WG846> abideth<WG3306> alone<WG3441>: but<WG1161> if<WG1437> it die<WG599>, it bringeth forth<WG5342> much<WG4183> fruit<WG2590>.


btext:
He that loveth<WG5368> his<WG846> life<WG5590> shall lose<WG622> it<WG846>; and<WG2532> he that hateth<WG3404> his<WG846> life<WG5590> in<WG1722> this<WG5129> world<WG2889> shall keep<WG5442> it<WG846> unto<WG1519> life<WG2222> eternal<WG166>.


btext:
If<WG1437> any man<WG5100> serve<WG1247> me<WG1698>, let him follow<WG190> me<WG1698>; and<WG2532> where<WG3699> I<WG1473> am<WG1510>, there<WG1563> shall<WG2071> also<WG2532> my<WG1699> servant<WG1249> be<WG2071><WG2532>: if<WG1437> any man<WG5100> serve<WG1247> me<WG1698>, him<WG846> will<WG5091> my Father<WG3962> honour<WG5091>.


btext:
Now<WG3568> is<WG5015> my<WG3450> soul<WG5590> troubled<WG5015>; and<WG2532> what<WG5101> shall I say<WG2036>? Father<WG3962>, save<WG4982> me<WG3165> from<WG1537> this<WG5026> hour<WG5610>: but<WG235> for this<WG5124> cause<WG1223> came I<WG2064> unto<WG1519> this<WG5026> hour<WG5610>.


btext:
Father<WG3962>, glorify<WG1392> thy<WG4675> name<WG3686>. Then<WG3767> came there<WG2064> a voice<WG5456> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, saying, I have<WG1392> both<WG2532> glorified<WG1392> it, and<WG2532> will glorify<WG1392> it again<WG3825>.


btext:
The people<WG3793> therefore<WG3767>, that stood by<WG2476>, and<WG2532> heard<WG191> it, said<WG3004> that it thundered<WG1096><WG1027>: others<WG243> said<WG3004>, An angel<WG32> spake<WG2980> to him<WG846>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, This<WG3778> voice<WG5456> came<WG1096> not<WG3756> because of<WG1223> me<WG1691>, but<WG235> for<WG1223> your sakes<WG5209><WG1223>.


btext:
Now<WG3568> is<WG2076> the judgment<WG2920> of this<WG5127> world<WG2889>: now<WG3568> shall<WG1544> the prince<WG758> of this<WG5127> world<WG2889> be cast<WG1544> out<WG1854>.


btext:
And I<WG2504>, if<WG1437> I be lifted up<WG5312> from<WG1537> the earth<WG1093>, will draw<WG1670> all<WG3956> men unto<WG4314> me<WG1683>.


btext:
<WG1161> This<WG5124> he said<WG3004>, signifying<WG4591> what<WG4169> death<WG2288> he should<WG3195> die<WG599>.


btext:
The people<WG3793> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, We<WG2249> have heard<WG191> out of<WG1537> the law<WG3551> that<WG3754> Christ<WG5547> abideth<WG3306> for<WG1519> ever<WG165>: and<WG2532> how<WG4459> sayest<WG3004> thou<WG4771><WG3754>, The Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> must<WG1163> be lifted up<WG5312>? who<WG5101> is<WG2076> this<WG3778> Son<WG5207> of man<WG444>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Yet<WG2089> a little<WG3398> while<WG5550> is<WG2076> the light<WG5457> with<WG3326> you<WG5216>. Walk<WG4043> while<WG2193> ye have<WG2192> the light<WG5457>, lest<WG3363> darkness<WG4653> come upon<WG2638> you<WG5209>: for<WG2532> he that walketh<WG4043> in<WG1722> darkness<WG4653> knoweth<WG1492> not<WG3756> whither<WG4226> he goeth<WG5217>.


btext:
While<WG2193> ye have<WG2192> light<WG5457>, believe<WG4100> in<WG1519> the light<WG5457>, that<WG2443> ye may be<WG1096> the children<WG5207> of light<WG5457>. These things<WG5023> spake<WG2980> Jesus<WG2424>, and departed<WG565>, and<WG2532> did hide himself<WG2928> from<WG575> them<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> though he<WG846> had done<WG4160> so many<WG5118> miracles<WG4592> before<WG1715> them<WG846>, yet they believed<WG4100> not<WG3756> on<WG1519> him<WG846>:


btext:
That<WG2443> the saying<WG3056> of Esaias<WG2268> the prophet<WG4396> might be fulfilled<WG4137>, which<WG3739> he spake<WG2036>, Lord<WG2962>, who<WG5101> hath believed<WG4100> our<WG2257> report<WG189>? and<WG2532> to whom<WG5101> hath the arm<WG1023> of the Lord<WG2962> been revealed<WG601>?


btext:
Therefore<WG5124><WG1223> they could<WG1410> not<WG3756> believe<WG4100>, because<WG3754> that Esaias<WG2268> said<WG2036> again<WG3825>,


btext:
He hath blinded<WG5186> their<WG846> eyes<WG3788>, and<WG2532> hardened<WG4456> their<WG846> heart<WG2588>; that<WG3363> they should<WG1492> not<WG3363> see<WG1492> with their eyes<WG3788>, nor<WG2532> understand<WG3539> with their heart<WG2588>, and<WG2532> be converted<WG1994>, and<WG2532> I should heal<WG2390> them<WG846>.


btext:
These things<WG5023> said<WG2036> Esaias<WG2268>, when<WG3753> he saw<WG1492> his<WG846> glory<WG1391>, and<WG2532> spake<WG2980> of<WG4012> him<WG846>.


btext:
Nevertheless<WG3676><WG3305> among<WG1537> the chief rulers<WG758> also<WG2532> many<WG4183> believed<WG4100> on<WG1519> him<WG846>; but<WG235> because<WG1223> of the Pharisees<WG5330> they did<WG3670> not<WG3756> confess<WG3670> him, lest<WG3363> they should be<WG1096> put out of the synagogue<WG656>:


btext:
For<WG1063> they loved<WG25> the praise<WG1391> of men<WG444> more<WG3123> than<WG2260> the praise<WG1391> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> cried<WG2896> and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, He that believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> me<WG1691>, believeth<WG4100> not<WG3756> on<WG1519> me<WG1691>, but<WG235> on<WG1519> him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>.


btext:
I<WG1473> am come<WG2064> a light<WG5457> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>, that<WG3363> whosoever<WG3956> believeth<WG4100> on<WG1519> me<WG1691> should<WG3306> not<WG3363> abide<WG3306> in<WG1722> darkness<WG4653>.


btext:
And<WG2532> if<WG3362> any man<WG5100> hear<WG191> my<WG3450> words<WG4487>, and<WG2532> believe<WG4100> not<WG3362>, I<WG1473> judge<WG2919> him<WG846> not<WG3756>: for<WG1063> I came<WG2064> not<WG3756> to<WG2443> judge<WG2919> the world<WG2889>, but<WG235> to<WG2443> save<WG4982> the world<WG2889>.


btext:
He that rejecteth<WG114> me<WG1691>, and<WG2532> receiveth<WG2983> not<WG3361> my<WG3450> words<WG4487>, hath<WG2192> one that judgeth<WG2919> him<WG846>: the word<WG3056> that<WG3739> I have spoken<WG2980>, the same<WG1565> shall judge<WG2919> him<WG846> in<WG1722> the last<WG2078> day<WG2250>.


btext:
For<WG3754> I<WG1473> have<WG2980> not<WG3756> spoken<WG2980> of<WG1537> myself<WG1683>; but<WG235> the Father<WG3962> which sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>, he<WG846> gave<WG1325> me<WG3427> a commandment<WG1785>, what<WG5101> I should say<WG2036>, and<WG2532> what<WG5101> I should speak<WG2980>.


btext:
And<WG2532> I know<WG1492> that<WG3754> his<WG846> commandment<WG1785> is<WG2076> life<WG2222> everlasting<WG166>: whatsoever<WG3739> I<WG1473> speak<WG2980> therefore<WG3767>, even as<WG2531> the Father<WG3962> said<WG2046> unto me<WG3427>, so<WG3779> I speak<WG2980>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> before<WG4253> the feast<WG1859> of the passover<WG3957>, when Jesus<WG2424> knew<WG1492> that<WG3754> his<WG846> hour<WG5610> was come<WG2064> that<WG2443> he should depart<WG3327> out of<WG1537> this<WG5127> world<WG2889> unto<WG4314> the Father<WG3962>, having loved<WG25> his own<WG2398> which<WG3588> were in<WG1722> the world<WG2889>, he loved<WG25> them<WG846> unto<WG1519> the end<WG5056>.


btext:
And<WG2532> supper<WG1173> being ended<WG1096>, the devil<WG1228> having now<WG2235> put<WG906> into<WG1519> the heart<WG2588> of Judas<WG2455> Iscariot<WG2469>, Simon's<WG4613> son, to<WG2443> betray<WG3860> him<WG846>;


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> knowing<WG1492> that<WG3754> the Father<WG3962> had given<WG1325> all things<WG3956> into<WG1519> his<WG846> hands<WG5495>, and<WG2532> that<WG3754> he was come<WG1831> from<WG575> God<WG2316>, and<WG2532> went<WG5217> to<WG4314> God<WG2316>;


btext:
He riseth<WG1453> from<WG1537> supper<WG1173>, and<WG2532> laid aside<WG5087> his garments<WG2440>; and<WG2532> took<WG2983> a towel<WG3012>, and girded<WG1241> himself<WG1438>.

Peter<WG4074> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Thou shalt<WG3538> never<WG1519><WG165><WG3364> wash<WG3538> my<WG3450> feet<WG4228>. Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, If<WG3362> I wash<WG3538> thee<WG4571> not<WG3362>, thou hast<WG2192> no<WG3756> part<WG3313> with<WG3326> me<WG1700>.

Now<WG575><WG737> I tell<WG3004> you<WG5213> before<WG4253> it come<WG1096>, that<WG2443>, when<WG3752> it is come to pass<WG1096>, ye may believe<WG4100> that<WG3754> I<WG1473> am<WG1510> he. / Now: or, From henceforth

btext:
When Jesus<WG2424> had<WG2036> thus<WG5023> said<WG2036>, he was troubled<WG5015> in spirit<WG4151>, and<WG2532> testified<WG3140>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, that<WG3754> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> shall betray<WG3860> me<WG3165>.

Then<WG3767> the disciples<WG3101> looked<WG991> one on another<WG1519><WG240>, doubting<WG639> of<WG4012> whom<WG5101> he spake<WG3004>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> there was<WG2258> leaning<WG345> on<WG1722> Jesus'<WG2424> bosom<WG2859> one<WG1520> of his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, whom<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> loved<WG25>.


btext:
Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> therefore<WG3767> beckoned<WG3506> to him<WG5129>, that he should ask<WG4441> who<WG5101> it should<WG302> be<WG1498> of<WG4012> whom<WG3739> he spake<WG3004>.

He<WG1565> then<WG1161> lying on<WG1968><WG1909> Jesus'<WG2424> breast<WG4738> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, who<WG5101> is it<WG2076>?

Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, He<WG1565> it is<WG2076>, to whom<WG3739> I shall give<WG1929> a sop<WG5596>, when I<WG1473> have dipped<WG911> it. And<WG2532> when he had dipped<WG1686> the sop<WG5596>, he gave<WG1325> it to Judas<WG2455> Iscariot<WG2469>, the son of Simon<WG4613>. / sop: or, morsel

And<WG2532> after<WG3326> the sop<WG5596><WG5119> Satan<WG4567> entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> him<WG1565>. Then<WG3767> said<WG3004> Jesus<WG2424> unto him<WG846>, That<WG3739> thou doest<WG4160>, do<WG4160> quickly<WG5032>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> no man<WG3762> at the table<WG345> knew<WG1097> for what<WG4314> intent<WG5101> he spake<WG2036> this<WG5124> unto him<WG846>.


btext:
For<WG1063> some<WG5100> of them thought<WG1380>, because<WG1893> Judas<WG2455> had<WG2192> the bag<WG1101>, that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> had said<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Buy<WG59> those things that<WG3739> we have<WG2192> need of<WG5532> against<WG1519> the feast<WG1859>; or<WG2228>, that<WG2443> he should give<WG1325> something<WG5100> to the poor<WG4434>.

He<WG1565> then<WG3767> having received<WG2983> the sop<WG5596> went<WG1831> immediately<WG2112> out<WG1831>: and<WG1161> it was<WG2258> night<WG3571>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767>, when<WG3753> he was gone out<WG1831>, Jesus<WG2424> said<WG3004>, Now<WG3568> is<WG1392> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> glorified<WG1392>, and<WG2532> God<WG2316> is glorified<WG1392> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.

These things<WG5023> have I spoken<WG2980> unto you<WG5213>, being yet present<WG3306> with<WG3844> you<WG5213>.

Ye have heard<WG191> how<WG3754> I<WG1473> said<WG2036> unto you<WG5213>, I go away<WG5217>, and<WG2532> come<WG2064> again unto<WG4314> you<WG5209>.

btext:
Hereafter<WG3765> I will<WG2980> not<WG3765> talk<WG2980> much<WG4183> with<WG3326> you<WG5216>: for<WG1063> the prince<WG758> of this<WG5127> world<WG2889> cometh<WG2064>, and<WG2532> hath<WG2192><WG3756> nothing<WG3762> in<WG1722> me<WG1698>.

But<WG1161> when<WG3752> the Comforter<WG3875> is come<WG2064>, whom<WG3739> I<WG1473> will send<WG3992> unto you<WG5213> from<WG3844> the Father<WG3962>, even the Spirit<WG4151> of truth<WG225>, which<WG3739> proceedeth<WG1607> from<WG3844> the Father<WG3962>, he<WG1565> shall testify<WG3140> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>:

And<WG1161> ye<WG5210> also<WG2532> shall bear witness<WG3140>, because<WG3754> ye have been<WG2075> with<WG3326> me<WG1700> from<WG575> the beginning<WG746>.

These things<WG5023> have I spoken<WG2980> unto you<WG5213>, that<WG3363> ye should<WG4624> not<WG3363> be offended<WG4624>. / offended: scandalized or, made to stumble

They shall put<WG4160> you<WG5209> out of the synagogues<WG656>: yea<WG235>, the time<WG5610> cometh<WG2064>, that<WG2443> whosoever<WG3956> killeth<WG615> you<WG5209> will think<WG1380> that he doeth<WG4374> God<WG2316> service<WG2999>.


btext:
And<WG2532> these things<WG5023> will they do<WG4160> unto you<WG5213>, because<WG3754> they have<WG1097> not<WG3756> known<WG1097> the Father<WG3962>, nor<WG3761> me<WG1691>.


btext:
But<WG235> these things<WG5023> have I told<WG2980> you<WG5213>, that<WG2443> when<WG3752> the time<WG5610> shall come<WG2064>, ye may remember<WG3421> that<WG3754> I<WG1473> told<WG2036> you<WG5213> of them<WG846>. And<WG1161> these things<WG5023> I said<WG2036> not<WG3756> unto you<WG5213> at<WG1537> the beginning<WG746>, because<WG3754> I was<WG2252> with<WG3326> you<WG5216>.

But<WG1161> now<WG3568> I go my way<WG5217> to<WG4314> him that sent<WG3992> me<WG3165>; and<WG2532> none<WG3762> of<WG1537> you<WG5216> asketh<WG2065> me<WG3165>, Whither<WG4226> goest thou<WG5217>?

A little while<WG3397>, and<WG2532> ye shall<WG2334> not<WG3756> see<WG2334> me<WG3165>: and<WG2532> again<WG3825>, a little while<WG3397>, and<WG2532> ye shall see<WG3700> me<WG3165>, because<WG3754> I<WG1473> go<WG5217> to<WG4314> the Father<WG3962>.

Then<WG3767> saith<WG3004> the damsel<WG3814> that kept the door<WG2377> unto Peter<WG4074>, Art<WG1488> not<WG3361> thou<WG4771> also<WG2532> one of<WG1537> this<WG5127> man's<WG444> disciples<WG3101>? He<WG1565> saith<WG3004>, I am<WG1510> not<WG3756>.

The high priest<WG749> then<WG3767> asked<WG2065> Jesus<WG2424> of<WG4012> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, and<WG2532> of<WG4012> his<WG846> doctrine<WG1322>.

Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, I<WG1473> spake<WG2980> openly<WG3954> to the world<WG2889>; I<WG1473> ever<WG3842> taught<WG1321> in<WG1722> the synagogue<WG4864>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, whither<WG3699> the Jews<WG2453> always<WG3842> resort<WG4905>; and<WG2532> in<WG1722> secret<WG2927> have I said<WG2980> nothing<WG3762>.

Why<WG5101> askest thou<WG1905> me<WG3165>? ask<WG1905> them which heard me<WG191>, what<WG5101> I have said<WG2980> unto them<WG846>: behold<WG2396>, they<WG3778> know<WG1492> what<WG3739> I<WG1473> said<WG2036>.

Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, If<WG1487> I have spoken<WG2980> evil<WG2560>, bear witness<WG3140> of<WG4012> the evil<WG2556>: but<WG1161> if<WG1487> well<WG2573>, why<WG5101> smitest<WG1194> thou me<WG3165>?

Peter<WG4074> then<WG3767> denied<WG720> again<WG3825>: and<WG2532> immediately<WG2112> the cock<WG220> crew<WG5455>.

btext:
They answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, If<WG1508> he<WG3778> were<WG2258> not<WG1508> a malefactor<WG2555>, we would<WG302> not<WG3756> have delivered<WG3860> him<WG846> up<WG3860> unto thee<WG4671>.

Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Pilate<WG4091> unto them<WG846>, Take<WG2983> ye<WG5210> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> judge<WG2919> him<WG846> according<WG2596> to your<WG5216> law<WG3551>. The Jews<WG2453> therefore<WG3767> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, It is<WG1832> not<WG3756> lawful<WG1832> for us<WG2254> to put<WG615> any man<WG3762> to death<WG615>:

That<WG2443> the saying<WG3056> of Jesus<WG2424> might be fulfilled<WG4137>, which<WG3739> he spake<WG2036>, signifying<WG4591> what<WG4169> death<WG2288> he should<WG3195> die<WG599>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Pilate<WG4091> entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the judgment hall<WG4232> again<WG3825>, and<WG2532> called<WG5455> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Art<WG1488> thou<WG4771> the King<WG935> of the Jews<WG2453>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, Sayest<WG3004> thou<WG4771> this thing<WG5124> of<WG575> thyself<WG1438>, or<WG2228> did others<WG243> tell it<WG2036> thee<WG4671> of<WG4012> me<WG1700>?

Pilate<WG4091> answered<WG611><WG3385>, Am<WG1510> I<WG1473> a Jew<WG2453>? Thine own<WG4674> nation<WG1484> and<WG2532> the chief priests<WG749> have delivered<WG3860> thee<WG4571> unto me<WG1698>: what<WG5101> hast thou done<WG4160>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, My<WG1699> kingdom<WG932> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> of<WG1537> this<WG5127> world<WG2889>: if<WG1487> my<WG1699> kingdom<WG932> were<WG2258> of<WG1537> this<WG5127> world<WG2889>, then would<WG302> my<WG1699> servants<WG5257> fight<WG75>, that<WG3363> I should<WG3860> not<WG3363> be delivered<WG3860> to the Jews<WG2453>: but<WG1161> now<WG3568> is<WG2076> my<WG1699> kingdom<WG932> not<WG3756> from hence<WG1782>.

Pilate<WG4091> therefore<WG3767> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Art<WG1488> thou<WG4771> a king<WG935> then<WG3766>? Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Thou<WG4771> sayest<WG3004> that<WG3754> I<WG1473> am<WG1510> a king<WG935>. To<WG1519> this<WG5124> end was<WG1080> I<WG1473> born<WG1080>, and<WG2532> for<WG1519> this<WG5124> cause came I<WG2064> into<WG1519> the world<WG2889>, that<WG2443> I should bear witness<WG3140> unto the truth<WG225>. Every one<WG3956> that is<WG5607> of<WG1537> the truth<WG225> heareth<WG191> my<WG3450> voice<WG5456>.


btext:
Pilate<WG4091> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, What<WG5101> is<WG2076> truth<WG225>? And<WG2532> when he had said<WG2036> this<WG5124>, he went out<WG1831> again<WG3825> unto<WG4314> the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, I<WG1473> find<WG2147> in<WG1722> him<WG846> no<WG3762> fault<WG156> at all.


btext:
But<WG1161> ye<WG5213> have<WG2076> a custom<WG4914>, that<WG2443> I should release<WG630> unto you<WG5213> one<WG1520> at<WG1722> the passover<WG3957>: will ye<WG1014> therefore<WG3767> that I release<WG630> unto you<WG5213> the King<WG935> of the Jews<WG2453>?


btext:
Then<WG3767> cried they<WG2905> all<WG3956> again<WG3825>, saying<WG3004>, Not<WG3361> this man<WG5126>, but<WG235> Barabbas<WG912>. Now<WG1161> Barabbas<WG912> was<WG2258> a robber<WG3027>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> Pilate<WG4091> therefore<WG3767> took<WG2983> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> scourged<WG3146> him.

And<WG2532> the soldiers<WG4757> platted<WG4120> a crown<WG4735> of<WG1537> thorns<WG173>, and put it on<WG2007> his<WG846> head<WG2776>, and<WG2532> they put on<WG4016> him<WG846> a purple<WG4210> robe<WG2440>,


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG3004>, Hail<WG5463>, King<WG935> of the Jews<WG2453>! and<WG2532> they smote<WG1325> him<WG846> with their hands<WG4475>.


btext:
Pilate<WG4091> therefore<WG3767> went<WG1831> forth<WG1854> again<WG3825>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Behold<WG2396>, I bring<WG71> him<WG846> forth<WG1854> to you<WG5213>, that<WG2443> ye may know<WG1097> that<WG3754> I find<WG2147> no<WG3762> fault<WG156> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> came<WG1831> Jesus<WG2424> forth<WG1854>, wearing<WG5409> the crown<WG4735> of thorns<WG174>, and<WG2532> the purple<WG4210> robe<WG2440>. And<WG2532> Pilate saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Behold<WG2396> the man<WG444>!


btext:
When<WG3753> the chief priests<WG749> therefore<WG3767> and<WG2532> officers<WG5257> saw<WG1492> him<WG846>, they cried out<WG2905>, saying<WG3004>, Crucify<WG4717> him, crucify<WG4717> him. Pilate<WG4091> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Take<WG2983> ye<WG5210> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> crucify<WG4717> him: for<WG1063> I<WG1473> find<WG2147> no<WG3756> fault<WG156> in<WG1722> him<WG846>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> answered<WG611> him<WG846>, We<WG2249> have<WG2192> a law<WG3551>, and<WG2532> by<WG2596> our<WG2257> law<WG3551> he ought<WG3784> to die<WG599>, because<WG3754> he made<WG4160> himself<WG1438> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
When<WG3753> Pilate<WG4091> therefore<WG3767> heard<WG191> that<WG5126> saying<WG3056>, he was<WG5399> the more<WG3123> afraid<WG5399>;


btext:
And<WG2532> went<WG1525> again<WG3825> into<WG1519> the judgment hall<WG4232>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto Jesus<WG2424>, Whence<WG4159> art<WG1488> thou<WG4771>? But<WG1161> Jesus<WG2424> gave<WG1325> him<WG846> no<WG3756> answer<WG612>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> saith<WG3004> Pilate<WG4091> unto him<WG846>, Speakest thou<WG2980> not<WG3756> unto me<WG1698>? knowest thou<WG1492> not<WG3756> that<WG3754> I have<WG2192> power<WG1849> to crucify<WG4717> thee<WG4571>, and<WG2532> have<WG2192> power<WG1849> to release<WG630> thee<WG4571>?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> answered<WG611>, Thou couldest have<WG2192> no<WG3756> power<WG1849> at all against<WG3762><WG2596> me<WG1700>, except<WG1508> it were<WG2258> given<WG1325> thee<WG4671> from above<WG509>: therefore<WG5124><WG1223> he that delivered<WG3860> me<WG3165> unto thee<WG4671> hath<WG2192> the greater<WG3187> sin<WG266>.


btext:
And from<WG1537> thenceforth<WG5127> Pilate<WG4091> sought<WG2212> to release<WG630> him<WG846>: but<WG1161> the Jews<WG2453> cried out<WG2896>, saying<WG3004>, If<WG1437> thou let<WG630> this man<WG5126> go<WG630>, thou art<WG1488> not<WG3756> Caesar's<WG2541> friend<WG5384>: whosoever<WG3956> maketh<WG4160> himself<WG846> a king<WG935> speaketh against<WG483> Caesar<WG2541>.


btext:
When Pilate<WG4091> therefore<WG3767> heard<WG191> that<WG5126> saying<WG3056>, he brought<WG71> Jesus<WG2424> forth<WG1854>, and<WG2532> sat down<WG2523> in<WG1909> the judgment seat<WG968> in<WG1519> a place<WG5117> that is called<WG3004> the Pavement<WG3038>, but<WG1161> in the Hebrew<WG1447>, Gabbatha<WG1042>.

And<WG1161> it was<WG2258> the preparation<WG3904> of the passover<WG3957>, and<WG1161> about<WG5616> the sixth<WG1623> hour<WG5610>: and<WG2532> he saith<WG3004> unto the Jews<WG2453>, Behold<WG2396> your<WG5216> King<WG935>!


btext:
But<WG1161> they cried out<WG2905>, Away with<WG142> him, away with<WG142> him, crucify<WG4717> him<WG846>.

Then<WG5119> delivered he<WG3860> him<WG846> therefore<WG3767> unto them<WG846> to<WG2443> be crucified<WG4717>. And<WG1161> they took<WG3880> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> led him away<WG520>.

And<WG2532> he bearing<WG941> his<WG846> cross<WG4716> went forth<WG1831> into<WG1519> a place<WG5117> called<WG3004> the place of a skull<WG2898>, which<WG3739> is called<WG3004> in the Hebrew<WG1447> Golgotha<WG1115>:

Then<WG3767> said<WG3004> the chief priests<WG749> of the Jews<WG2453> to Pilate<WG4091>, Write<WG1125> not<WG3361>, The King<WG935> of the Jews<WG2453>; but<WG235> that<WG3754> he<WG1565> said<WG2036>, I am<WG1510> King<WG935> of the Jews<WG2453>.

Then<WG3767> the soldiers<WG4757>, when<WG3753> they had crucified<WG4717> Jesus<WG2424>, took<WG2983> his<WG846> garments<WG2440>, and<WG2532> made<WG4160> four<WG5064> parts<WG3313>, to every<WG1538> soldier<WG4757> a part<WG3313>; and also<WG2532> his coat<WG5509>: now<WG1161> the coat<WG5509> was<WG2258> without seam<WG729>, woven<WG5307> from<WG1537> the top<WG509> throughout<WG1223><WG3650>. / woven: or, wrought

When<WG3753> Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> had received<WG2983> the vinegar<WG3690>, he said<WG2036>, It is finished<WG5055>: and<WG2532> he bowed<WG2827> his head<WG2776>, and gave up<WG3860> the ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
The Jews<WG2453> therefore<WG3767>, because<WG1893> it was<WG2258><WG2258> the preparation<WG3904>, that<WG3363> the bodies<WG4983> should<WG3306> not<WG3363> remain<WG3306> upon<WG1909> the cross<WG4716> on<WG1722> the sabbath day<WG4521>, (for<WG1063> that<WG1565> sabbath day<WG4521> was<WG2258> an high<WG3173> day<WG2250>,) besought<WG2065> Pilate<WG4091> that<WG2443> their<WG846> legs<WG4628> might be broken<WG2608>, and<WG2532> that they might be taken away<WG142>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> came<WG2064> the soldiers<WG4757>, and<WG2532> brake<WG2608> the legs<WG4628> of the<WG3303> first<WG4413>, and<WG2532> of the other<WG243> which<WG3588> was crucified with<WG4957> him<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when<WG5613> they came<WG2064> to<WG1909> Jesus<WG2424>, and saw<WG1492> that he<WG846> was dead<WG2348> already<WG2235>, they brake<WG2608> not<WG3756> his<WG846> legs<WG4628>:


btext:
But<WG235> one<WG1520> of the soldiers<WG4757> with a spear<WG3057> pierced<WG3572> his<WG846> side<WG4125>, and<WG2532> forthwith<WG2117> came there out<WG1831> blood<WG129> and<WG2532> water<WG5204>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he that saw<WG3708> it bare record<WG3140>, and<WG2532> his<WG846> record<WG3141> is<WG2076> true<WG228>: and he<WG2548> knoweth<WG1492> that<WG3754> he saith<WG3004> true<WG227>, that<WG2443> ye<WG5210> might believe<WG4100>.


btext:
For<WG1063> these things<WG5023> were done<WG1096>, that<WG2443> the scripture<WG1124> should be fulfilled<WG4137>, A bone<WG3747> of him<WG846> shall<WG4937> not<WG3756> be broken<WG4937>.


btext:
And<WG2532> again<WG3825> another<WG2087> scripture<WG1124> saith<WG3004>, They shall look<WG3700> on<WG1519> him whom<WG3739> they pierced<WG1574>.


btext:
And<WG1161> after<WG3326> this<WG5023> Joseph<WG2501> of<WG575> Arimathaea<WG707>, being<WG5607> a disciple<WG3101> of Jesus<WG2424>, but<WG1161> secretly<WG2928> for<WG1223> fear<WG5401> of the Jews<WG2453>, besought<WG2065> Pilate<WG4091> that<WG2443> he might take away<WG142> the body<WG4983> of Jesus<WG2424>: and<WG2532> Pilate<WG4091> gave him leave<WG2010>. He came<WG2064> therefore<WG3767>, and<WG2532> took<WG142> the body<WG4983> of Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there came<WG2064> also<WG2532> Nicodemus<WG3530>, which<WG3588> at the first<WG4412> came<WG2064> to<WG4314> Jesus<WG2424> by night<WG3571>, and brought<WG5342> a mixture<WG3395> of myrrh<WG4666> and<WG2532> aloes<WG250>, about<WG5616> an hundred<WG1540> pound<WG3046> weight.


btext:
Then<WG3767> took they<WG2983> the body<WG4983> of Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> wound<WG1210> it<WG846> in linen clothes<WG3608> with<WG3326> the spices<WG759>, as<WG2531> the manner<WG1485> of the Jews<WG2453> is<WG2076> to bury<WG1779>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> in<WG1722> the place<WG5117> where<WG3699> he was crucified<WG4717> there was<WG2258> a garden<WG2779>; and<WG2532> in<WG1722> the garden<WG2779> a new<WG2537> sepulchre<WG3419>, wherein<WG1722><WG3739> was<WG5087> never<WG3764> man<WG3762> yet<WG3764> laid<WG5087>.


btext:
There<WG1563> laid they<WG5087> Jesus<WG2424> therefore<WG3767> because<WG1223> of the Jews'<WG2453> preparation<WG3904> day; for<WG3754> the sepulchre<WG3419> was<WG2258> nigh at hand<WG1451>.


btext:
<WG1161> The first<WG3391> day of the week<WG4521> cometh<WG2064> Mary<WG3137> Magdalene<WG3094> early<WG4404>, when it was<WG5607> yet<WG2089> dark<WG4653>, unto<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>, and<WG2532> seeth<WG991> the stone<WG3037> taken away<WG142> from<WG1537> the sepulchre<WG3419>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> she runneth<WG5143>, and<WG2532> cometh<WG2064> to<WG4314> Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074>, and<WG2532> to<WG4314> the other<WG243> disciple<WG3101>, whom<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> loved<WG5368>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, They have taken away<WG142> the Lord<WG2962> out of<WG1537> the sepulchre<WG3419>, and<WG2532> we know<WG1492> not<WG3756> where<WG4226> they have laid<WG5087> him<WG846>.


btext:
Peter<WG4074> therefore<WG3767> went forth<WG1831>, and<WG2532> that other<WG243> disciple<WG3101>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> to<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>.


btext:
So<WG1161> they ran<WG5143> both<WG1417> together<WG3674>: and<WG2532> the other<WG243> disciple<WG3101> did outrun<WG4390><WG5032> Peter<WG4074>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> first<WG4413> to<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he stooping down<WG3879>, and looking in, saw<WG991> the linen clothes<WG3608> lying<WG2749>; yet<WG3305> went he<WG1525> not<WG3756> in<WG1525>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> cometh<WG2064> Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> following<WG190> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> went<WG1525> into<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>, and<WG2532> seeth<WG2334> the linen clothes<WG3608> lie<WG2749>,


btext:
And<WG2532> the napkin<WG4676>, that<WG3739> was<WG2258> about<WG1909> his<WG846> head<WG2776>, not<WG3756> lying<WG2749> with<WG3326> the linen clothes<WG3608>, but<WG235> wrapped together<WG1794> in<WG1519> a place<WG5117> by itself<WG1520><WG5565>.


btext:
Then<WG5119><WG3767> went in<WG1525> also<WG2532> that other<WG243> disciple<WG3101>, which<WG3588> came<WG2064> first<WG4413> to<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>, and<WG2532> he saw<WG1492>, and<WG2532> believed<WG4100>.


btext:
For<WG1063> as yet<WG3764> they knew<WG1492> not<WG3764> the scripture<WG1124>, that<WG3754> he<WG846> must<WG1163> rise again<WG450> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> the disciples<WG3101> went away<WG565> again<WG3825> unto<WG4314> their own home<WG1438>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Mary<WG3137> stood<WG2476> without<WG1854> at<WG4314> the sepulchre<WG3419> weeping<WG2799>: and<WG3767> as<WG5613> she wept<WG2799>, she stooped down<WG3879>, and looked into<WG1519> the sepulchre<WG3419>,


btext:
And<WG2532> seeth<WG2334> two<WG1417> angels<WG32> in<WG1722> white<WG3022> sitting<WG2516>, the one<WG1520> at<WG4314> the head<WG2776>, and<WG2532> the other<WG1520> at<WG4314> the feet<WG4228>, where<WG3699> the body<WG4983> of Jesus<WG2424> had lain<WG2749>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they<WG1565> say<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Woman<WG1135>, why<WG5101> weepest thou<WG2799>? She saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Because<WG3754> they have taken away<WG142> my<WG3450> Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> I know<WG1492> not<WG3756> where<WG4226> they have laid<WG5087> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when she had<WG2036> thus<WG5023> said<WG2036>, she turned<WG4762> herself<WG1519> back<WG3694>, and<WG2532> saw<WG2334> Jesus<WG2424> standing<WG2476>, and<WG2532> knew<WG1492> not<WG3756> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Woman<WG1135>, why<WG5101> weepest thou<WG2799>? whom<WG5101> seekest thou<WG2212>? She<WG1565>, supposing<WG1380><WG3754> him to be<WG2076> the gardener<WG2780>, saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Sir<WG2962>, if<WG1487> thou<WG4771> have borne<WG941> him<WG846> hence<WG941>, tell<WG2036> me<WG3427> where<WG4226> thou hast laid<WG5087> him<WG846>, and I<WG2504> will take<WG142> him<WG846> away<WG142>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Mary<WG3137>. She<WG1565> turned<WG4762> herself, and saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Rabboni<WG4462>; which<WG3739> is to say<WG3004>, Master<WG1320>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto her<WG846>, Touch<WG680> me<WG3450> not<WG3361>; for<WG1063> I am<WG305> not yet<WG3768> ascended<WG305> to<WG4314> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>: but<WG1161> go<WG4198> to<WG4314> my<WG3450> brethren<WG80>, and<WG2532> say<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, I ascend<WG305> unto<WG4314> my<WG3450> Father<WG3962>, and<WG2532> your<WG5216> Father<WG3962>; and<WG2532> to my<WG3450> God<WG2316>, and<WG2532> your<WG5216> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Mary<WG3137> Magdalene<WG3094> came<WG2064> and told<WG518> the disciples<WG3101> that<WG3754> she had seen<WG3708> the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> that he had spoken<WG2036> these things<WG5023> unto her<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> the same<WG1565> day<WG2250> at evening<WG3798>, being<WG5607> the first<WG3391> day of the week<WG4521>, when<WG2532> the doors<WG2374> were shut<WG2808> where<WG3699> the disciples<WG3101> were<WG2258> assembled<WG4863> for<WG1223> fear<WG5401> of the Jews<WG2453>, came<WG2064> Jesus<WG2424> and<WG2532> stood<WG2476> in<WG1519> the midst<WG3319>, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Peace<WG1515> be unto you<WG5213>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had<WG2036> so<WG5124> said<WG2036>, he shewed<WG1166> unto them<WG846> his hands<WG5495> and<WG2532> his<WG846> side<WG4125>. Then<WG3767> were<WG5463> the disciples<WG3101> glad<WG5463>, when they saw<WG1492> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> said<WG2036> Jesus<WG2424> to them<WG846> again<WG3825>, Peace<WG1515> be unto you<WG5213>: as<WG2531> my Father<WG3962> hath sent<WG649> me<WG3165>, even so<WG2504> send<WG3992> I<WG2504> you<WG5209>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had said<WG2036> this<WG5124>, he breathed on<WG1720> them, and<WG2532> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Receive ye<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>:


btext:
Whose<WG5100> soever<WG302> sins<WG266> ye remit<WG863>, they are remitted<WG863> unto them<WG846>; and whose<WG5100> soever<WG302> sins ye retain<WG2902>, they are retained<WG2902>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Thomas<WG2381>, one<WG1520> of<WG1537> the twelve<WG1427>, called<WG3004> Didymus<WG1324>, was<WG2258> not<WG3756> with<WG3326> them<WG846> when<WG3753> Jesus<WG2424> came<WG2064>.


btext:
The other<WG243> disciples<WG3101> therefore<WG3767> said<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, We have seen<WG3708> the Lord<WG2962>. But<WG1161> he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Except<WG3362> I shall see<WG1492> in<WG1722> his<WG846> hands<WG5495> the print<WG5179> of the nails<WG2247>, and<WG2532> put<WG906> my<WG3450> finger<WG1147> into<WG1519> the print<WG5179> of the nails<WG2247>, and<WG2532> thrust<WG906> my<WG3450> hand<WG5495> into<WG1519> his<WG846> side<WG4125>, I will<WG4100> not<WG3364> believe<WG4100>.


btext:
And<WG2532> after<WG3326> eight<WG3638> days<WG2250> again<WG3825> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101> were<WG2258> within<WG2080>, and<WG2532> Thomas<WG2381> with<WG3326> them<WG846>: then came<WG2064> Jesus<WG2424>, the doors<WG2374> being shut<WG2808>, and<WG2532> stood<WG2476> in<WG1519> the midst<WG3319>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Peace<WG1515> be unto you<WG5213>.


btext:
Then<WG1534> saith he<WG3004> to Thomas<WG2381>, Reach<WG5342> hither<WG5602> thy<WG4675> finger<WG1147>, and<WG2532> behold<WG1492> my<WG3450> hands<WG5495>; and<WG2532> reach hither<WG5342> thy<WG4675> hand<WG5495>, and<WG2532> thrust<WG906> it into<WG1519> my<WG3450> side<WG4125>: and<WG2532> be<WG1096> not<WG3361> faithless<WG571>, but<WG235> believing<WG4103>.


btext:
And<WG2532> Thomas<WG2381> answered<WG611> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, My<WG3450> Lord<WG2962> and<WG2532> my<WG3450> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Thomas<WG2381>, because<WG3754> thou hast seen<WG3708> me<WG3165>, thou hast believed<WG4100>: blessed<WG3107> are they that have not<WG3361> seen<WG1492>, and<WG2532> yet have believed<WG4100>.


btext:
And<WG2532> many<WG4183> other<WG243> signs<WG4592> truly<WG3303><WG3767> did<WG4160> Jesus<WG2424> in the presence<WG1799> of his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, which<WG3739> are<WG2076> not<WG3756> written<WG1125> in<WG1722> this<WG5129> book<WG975>:


btext:
But<WG1161> these<WG5023> are written<WG1125>, that<WG2443> ye might believe<WG4100> that<WG3754> Jesus<WG2424> is<WG2076> the Christ<WG5547>, the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>; and<WG2532> that<WG2443> believing<WG4100> ye might have<WG2192> life<WG2222> through<WG1722> his<WG846> name<WG3686>.


btext:
After<WG3326> these things<WG5023> Jesus<WG2424> shewed<WG5319> himself<WG1438> again<WG3825> to the disciples<WG3101> at<WG1909> the sea<WG2281> of Tiberias<WG5085>; and<WG1161> on this wise<WG3779> shewed<WG5319> he himself.


btext:
There were<WG2258> together<WG3674> Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074>, and<WG2532> Thomas<WG2381> called<WG3004> Didymus<WG1324>, and<WG2532> Nathanael<WG3482> of<WG575> Cana<WG2580> in Galilee<WG1056>, and<WG2532> the sons<WG3588> of Zebedee<WG2199>, and<WG2532> two<WG1417> other<WG243> of<WG1537> his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>.


btext:
Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, I go<WG5217> a fishing<WG232>. They say<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, We<WG2249> also<WG2532> go<WG2064> with<WG4862> thee<WG4671>. They went forth<WG1831>, and<WG2532> entered<WG305> into<WG1519> a ship<WG4143> immediately<WG2117>; and<WG2532> that<WG1722><WG1565> night<WG3571> they caught<WG4084> nothing<WG3762>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when the morning<WG4405> was<WG1096> now<WG2235> come<WG1096>, Jesus<WG2424> stood<WG2476> on<WG1519> the shore<WG123>: but<WG3305> the disciples<WG3101> knew<WG1492> not<WG3756> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Children<WG3813>, have ye<WG2192> any<WG3387> meat<WG4371>? They answered<WG611> him<WG846>, No<WG3756>. / Children: or, Sirs


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG2036> unto them<WG846>, Cast<WG906> the net<WG1350> on<WG1519> the right<WG1188> side<WG3313> of the ship<WG4143>, and<WG2532> ye shall find<WG2147>. They cast<WG906> therefore<WG3767>, and<WG2532> now<WG3765> they were<WG2480> not<WG3765> able<WG2480> to draw<WG1670> it<WG846> for<WG575> the multitude<WG4128> of fishes<WG2486>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767> that<WG1565> disciple<WG3101> whom<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> loved<WG25> saith<WG3004> unto Peter<WG4074>, It is<WG2076> the Lord<WG2962>. Now<WG3767> when Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> heard<WG191> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> the Lord<WG2962>, he girt<WG1241> his fisher's coat<WG1903> unto him, (for<WG1063> he was<WG2258> naked<WG1131>,) and<WG2532> did cast<WG906> himself<WG1438> into<WG1519> the sea<WG2281>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the other<WG243> disciples<WG3101> came<WG2064> in a little ship<WG4142>; (for<WG1063> they were<WG2258> not<WG3756> far<WG3112> from<WG575> land<WG1093>, but<WG235> as it were<WG5613><WG575> two hundred<WG1250> cubits<WG4083>,) dragging<WG4951> the net<WG1350> with fishes<WG2486>.


btext:
As soon<WG5613> then<WG3767> as they were come<WG576> to<WG1519> land<WG1093>, they saw<WG991> a fire of coals<WG439> there, and<WG2532> fish<WG3795> laid<WG2749> thereon<WG1945>, and<WG2532> bread<WG740>.

Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Bring<WG5342> of<WG575> the fish<WG3795> which<WG3739> ye have<WG4084> now<WG3568> caught<WG4084>.


btext:
Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074> went up<WG305>, and<WG2532> drew<WG1670> the net<WG1350> to<WG1909> land<WG1093> full<WG3324> of great<WG3173> fishes<WG2486>, an hundred<WG1540> and fifty<WG4004> and three<WG5140>: and<WG2532> for all there were so many<WG5118>, yet was<WG5607> not<WG3756> the net<WG1350> broken<WG4977>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto them<WG846>, Come<WG1205> and dine<WG709>. And<WG1161> none<WG3762> of the disciples<WG3101> durst<WG5111> ask<WG1833> him<WG846>, Who<WG5101> art<WG1488> thou<WG4771>? knowing<WG1492> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> then<WG3767> cometh<WG2064>, and<WG2532> taketh<WG2983> bread<WG740>, and<WG2532> giveth<WG1325> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> fish<WG3795> likewise<WG3668>.


btext:
This<WG5124> is<WG5319> now<WG2235> the third time<WG5154> that Jesus<WG2424> shewed himself<WG5319> to his<WG846> disciples<WG3101>, after that he was risen<WG1453> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
So<WG3767> when<WG3753> they had dined<WG709>, Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> to Simon<WG4613> Peter<WG4074>, Simon<WG4613>, son of Jonas<WG2495>, lovest thou<WG25> me<WG3165> more than<WG4119> these<WG5130>? He saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Yea<WG3483>, Lord<WG2962>; thou<WG4771> knowest<WG1492> that<WG3754> I love<WG5368> thee<WG4571>. He saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Feed<WG1006> my<WG3450> lambs<WG721>.


btext:
He saith<WG3004> to him<WG846> again<WG3825> the second time<WG1208>, Simon<WG4613>, son of Jonas<WG2495>, lovest thou<WG25> me<WG3165>? He saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Yea<WG3483>, Lord<WG2962>; thou<WG4771> knowest<WG1492> that<WG3754> I love<WG5368> thee<WG4571>. He saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Feed<WG4165> my<WG3450> sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
He saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846> the third<WG5154> time, Simon<WG4613>, son of Jonas<WG2495>, lovest<WG5368> thou me<WG3165>? Peter<WG4074> was grieved<WG3076> because<WG3754> he said<WG2036> unto him<WG846> the third<WG5154> time, Lovest<WG5368> thou me<WG3165>? And<WG2532> he said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Lord<WG2962>, thou<WG4771> knowest<WG1492> all things<WG3956>; thou<WG4771> knowest<WG1097> that<WG3754> I love<WG5368> thee<WG4571>. Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Feed<WG1006> my<WG3450> sheep<WG4263>.


btext:
Verily<WG281>, verily<WG281>, I say<WG3004> unto thee<WG4671>, When<WG3753> thou wast<WG2258> young<WG3501>, thou girdedst<WG2224> thyself<WG4572>, and<WG2532> walkedst<WG4043> whither<WG3699> thou wouldest<WG2309>: but<WG1161> when<WG3752> thou shalt be old<WG1095>, thou shalt stretch forth<WG1614> thy<WG4675> hands<WG5495>, and<WG2532> another<WG243> shall gird<WG2224> thee<WG4571>, and<WG2532> carry<WG5342> thee whither<WG3699> thou wouldest<WG2309> not<WG3756>.


btext:
<WG1161> This<WG5124> spake he<WG2036>, signifying<WG4591> by what<WG4169> death<WG2288> he should glorify<WG1392> God<WG2316>. And<WG2532> when he had spoken<WG2036> this<WG5124>, he saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Follow<WG190> me<WG3427>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074>, turning about<WG1994>, seeth<WG991> the disciple<WG3101> whom<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> loved<WG25> following<WG190>; which<WG3739> also<WG2532> leaned<WG377> on<WG1909> his<WG846> breast<WG4738> at<WG1722> supper<WG1173>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Lord<WG2962>, which<WG5101> is he<WG2076> that betrayeth<WG3860> thee<WG4571>?


btext:
Peter<WG4074> seeing<WG1492> him<WG5126> saith<WG3004> to Jesus<WG2424>, Lord<WG2962>, and<WG1161> what<WG5101> shall this man<WG3778> do?


btext:
Jesus<WG2424> saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, If<WG1437> I will<WG2309> that he<WG846> tarry<WG3306> till<WG2193> I come<WG2064>, what<WG5101> is that to<WG4314> thee<WG4571>? follow<WG190> thou<WG4771> me<WG3427>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> went<WG1831> this<WG3778> saying<WG3056> abroad<WG1831> among<WG1519> the brethren<WG80>, that<WG3754> that<WG1565> disciple<WG3101> should<WG599> not<WG3756> die<WG599>: yet<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> said<WG2036> not<WG3756> unto him<WG846><WG3754>, He shall<WG599> not<WG3756> die<WG599>; but<WG235>, If<WG1437> I will<WG2309> that he<WG846> tarry<WG3306> till<WG2193> I come<WG2064>, what<WG5101> is that to<WG4314> thee<WG4571>?


btext:
This<WG3778> is<WG2076> the disciple<WG3101> which<WG3588> testifieth<WG3140> of<WG4012> these things<WG5130>, and<WG2532> wrote<WG1125> these things<WG5023>: and<WG2532> we know<WG1492> that<WG3754> his<WG846> testimony<WG3141> is<WG2076> true<WG227>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there are<WG2076> also<WG2532> many<WG4183> other things<WG243> which<WG3745> Jesus<WG2424> did<WG4160>, the which<WG3748>, if<WG1437> they should be written<WG1125> every<WG2596> one<WG1520>, I suppose<WG3633> that even<WG3761> the world<WG2889> itself<WG846> could not<WG3761> contain<WG5562> the books<WG975> that should be written<WG1125>. Amen<WG281>.


btext:
The former<WG3303><WG4413> treatise<WG3056> have I made<WG4160>, O<WG5599> Theophilus<WG2321>, of<WG4012> all<WG3956> that<WG3739> Jesus<WG2424> began<WG756> both<WG5037> to do<WG4160> and<WG2532> teach<WG1321>,


btext:
Until<WG891> the day<WG2250> in which<WG3739> he was taken up<WG353>, after that he through<WG1223> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> had given commandments<WG1781> unto the apostles<WG652> whom<WG3739> he had chosen<WG1586>:


btext:
To whom<WG3739> also<WG2532> he shewed<WG3936> himself<WG1438> alive<WG2198> after<WG3326> his<WG846> passion<WG3958> by<WG1722> many<WG4183> infallible proofs<WG5039>, being seen<WG3700> of them<WG846><WG1223> forty<WG5062> days<WG2250>, and<WG2532> speaking<WG3004> of the things pertaining<WG4012> to the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>:


btext:
And<WG2532>, being assembled together<WG4871> with<WG846> them, commanded<WG3853> them<WG846> that they should<WG5563> not<WG3361> depart<WG5563> from<WG575> Jerusalem<WG2414>, but<WG235> wait<WG4037> for the promise<WG1860> of the Father<WG3962>, which<WG3739>, saith he, ye have heard<WG191> of me<WG3450>. / being…: or, eating together


btext:
For<WG3754> John<WG2491> truly<WG3303> baptized<WG907> with water<WG5204>; but<WG1161> ye<WG5210> shall be baptized<WG907> with<WG1722> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> not<WG3756> many<WG3326><WG4183> days<WG2250> hence<WG5025>.


btext:
When<WG3303> they therefore<WG3767> were come together<WG4905>, they asked<WG1905> of him<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Lord<WG2962><WG1487>, wilt thou<WG600> at<WG1722> this<WG5129> time<WG5550> restore again<WG600> the kingdom<WG932> to Israel<WG2474>?


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, It is<WG2076> not<WG3756> for you<WG5216> to know<WG1097> the times<WG5550> or<WG2228> the seasons<WG2540>, which<WG3739> the Father<WG3962> hath put<WG5087> in<WG1722> his own<WG2398> power<WG1849>.


btext:
But<WG235> ye shall receive<WG2983> power<WG1411>, after that the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> is come<WG1904> upon<WG1909> you<WG5209>: and<WG2532> ye shall be<WG2071> witnesses<WG3144> unto me<WG3427> both<WG5037> in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> all<WG3956> Judaea<WG2449>, and<WG2532> in Samaria<WG4540>, and<WG2532> unto<WG2193> the uttermost part<WG2078> of the earth<WG1093>. / power…: or, the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had spoken<WG2036> these things<WG5023>, while they<WG846> beheld<WG991>, he was taken up<WG1869>; and<WG2532> a cloud<WG3507> received<WG5274> him<WG846> out of<WG575> their<WG846> sight<WG3788>.


btext:
And<WG2532> while<WG5613> they looked stedfastly<WG2258><WG816> toward<WG1519> heaven<WG3772> as he<WG846> went up<WG4198><WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, two<WG1417> men<WG435> stood by<WG3936> them<WG846> in<WG1722> white<WG3022> apparel<WG2066>;


btext:
Which<WG3739> also<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Ye men<WG435> of Galilee<WG1057>, why<WG5101> stand ye<WG2476> gazing up<WG1689> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>? this same<WG3778> Jesus<WG2424>, which<WG3588> is taken up<WG353> from<WG575> you<WG5216> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>, shall<WG2064> so<WG3779> come<WG2064> in like manner as<WG3739><WG5158> ye have seen<WG2300> him<WG846> go<WG4198> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> returned they<WG5290> unto<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419> from<WG575> the mount<WG3735> called<WG2564> Olivet<WG1638>, which<WG3739> is<WG2076> from<WG1451> Jerusalem<WG2419> a sabbath<WG4521> day's journey<WG2192><WG3598>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when<WG3753> they were come in<WG1525>, they went up<WG305> into<WG1519> an upper room<WG5253>, where<WG3757> abode<WG2258><WG2650> both<WG5037> Peter<WG4074>, and<WG2532> James<WG2385>, and<WG2532> John<WG2491>, and<WG2532> Andrew<WG406>, Philip<WG5376>, and<WG2532> Thomas<WG2381>, Bartholomew<WG918>, and<WG2532> Matthew<WG3156>, James<WG2385> the son of Alphaeus<WG256>, and<WG2532> Simon<WG4613> Zelotes<WG2208>, and<WG2532> Judas<WG2455> the brother of James<WG2385>.


btext:
These<WG3778> all<WG3956> continued<WG2258><WG4342> with one accord<WG3661> in prayer<WG4335> and<WG2532> supplication<WG1162>, with<WG4862> the women<WG1135>, and<WG2532> Mary<WG3137> the mother<WG3384> of Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> with<WG4862> his<WG846> brethren<WG80>.


btext:
And<WG2532> in<WG1722> those<WG5025> days<WG2250> Peter<WG4074> stood up<WG450> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319> of the disciples<WG3101>, and said<WG2036><WG5037>, (the number<WG3793> of names<WG3686> together<WG1909><WG846> were<WG2258> about<WG5613> an hundred<WG1540> and twenty<WG1501>,)


btext:
Men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, this<WG5026> scripture<WG1124> must<WG1163> needs have been fulfilled<WG4137>, which<WG3739> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> by<WG1223> the mouth<WG4750> of David<WG1138> spake before<WG4277> concerning<WG4012> Judas<WG2455>, which<WG3588> was<WG1096> guide<WG3595> to them that took<WG4815> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
For<WG3754> he was<WG2258> numbered<WG2674> with<WG4862> us<WG2254>, and<WG2532> had obtained<WG2975> part<WG2819> of this<WG5026> ministry<WG1248>.


btext:
Now<WG3303><WG3767> this man<WG3778> purchased<WG2932> a field<WG5564> with<WG1537> the reward<WG3408> of iniquity<WG93>; and<WG2532> falling<WG1096> headlong<WG4248>, he burst asunder<WG2997> in the midst<WG3319>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> his<WG846> bowels<WG4698> gushed out<WG1632>.


btext:
And<WG2532> it was<WG1096> known<WG1110> unto all<WG3956> the dwellers<WG2730> at Jerusalem<WG2419>; insomuch as<WG5620> that<WG1565> field<WG5564> is called<WG2564> in their<WG846> proper<WG2398> tongue<WG1258>, Aceldama<WG184>, that is to say<WG5123>, The field<WG5564> of blood<WG129>.


btext:
For<WG1063> it is written<WG1125> in<WG1722> the book<WG976> of Psalms<WG5568>, Let<WG1096> his<WG846> habitation<WG1886> be<WG1096> desolate<WG2048>, and<WG2532> let<WG2077> no man<WG3361> dwell<WG2730> therein<WG1722><WG846>: and<WG2532> his<WG846> bishoprick<WG1984> let<WG2983> another<WG2087> take<WG2983>. / bishoprick: or, office, or, charge


btext:
Wherefore<WG3767> of these<WG5130> men<WG435> which have companied<WG4905> with us<WG2254> all<WG3956> the time<WG5550> that<WG1722><WG3739> the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424> went<WG1831> in<WG1525> and<WG2532> out<WG1831> among<WG1909> us<WG2248>,


btext:
Beginning<WG756> from<WG575> the baptism<WG908> of John<WG2491>, unto<WG2193> that same day<WG2250> that<WG3739> he was taken up<WG353> from<WG575> us<WG2257>, must<WG1163> one<WG1520> be ordained<WG1096> to be a witness<WG3144> with<WG4862> us<WG2254> of his<WG846> resurrection<WG386>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they appointed<WG2476> two<WG1417>, Joseph<WG2501> called<WG2564> Barsabas<WG923>, who<WG3739> was surnamed<WG1941> Justus<WG2459>, and<WG2532> Matthias<WG3159>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they prayed<WG4336>, and said<WG2036>, Thou<WG4771>, Lord<WG2962>, which knowest the hearts<WG2589> of all<WG3956> men, shew<WG322> whether<WG3739><WG1520> of<WG1537> these<WG5130> two<WG1417> thou hast chosen<WG1586>,


btext:
That he may take<WG2983> part<WG2819> of this<WG5026> ministry<WG1248> and<WG2532> apostleship<WG651>, from<WG1537> which<WG3739> Judas<WG2455> by transgression fell<WG3845>, that he might go<WG4198> to<WG1519> his own<WG2398> place<WG5117>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they gave forth<WG1325> their<WG846> lots<WG2819>; and<WG2532> the lot<WG2819> fell<WG4098> upon<WG1909> Matthias<WG3159>; and<WG2532> he was numbered<WG4785> with<WG3326> the eleven<WG1733> apostles<WG652>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when<WG1722> the day<WG2250> of Pentecost<WG4005> was fully come<WG4845>, they were<WG2258> all<WG537> with one accord<WG3661> in<WG1909> one place<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> suddenly<WG869> there came<WG1096> a sound<WG2279> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772> as<WG5618> of a rushing<WG5342> mighty<WG972> wind<WG4157>, and<WG2532> it filled<WG4137> all<WG3650> the house<WG3624> where<WG3757> they were<WG2258> sitting<WG2521>.


btext:
And<WG2532> there appeared<WG3700> unto them<WG846> cloven<WG1266> tongues<WG1100> like as<WG5616> of fire<WG4442>, and<WG5037> it sat<WG2523> upon<WG1909> each<WG1538><WG1520> of them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they were<WG4130> all<WG537> filled<WG4130> with the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, and<WG2532> began<WG756> to speak with<WG2980> other<WG2087> tongues<WG1100>, as<WG2531> the Spirit<WG4151> gave<WG1325> them<WG846> utterance<WG669>.

And<WG1161> there were<WG2258> dwelling<WG2730> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419> Jews<WG2453>, devout<WG2126> men<WG435>, out of<WG575> every<WG3956> nation<WG1484> under<WG5259> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when this<WG5026> was<WG1096> noised abroad<WG5456>, the multitude<WG4128> came together<WG4905>, and<WG2532> were confounded<WG4797>, because<WG3754> that every<WG1538> man<WG1520> heard<WG191> them<WG846> speak<WG2980> in his own<WG2398> language<WG1258>. / was…: Gr. voice was made confounded: or, troubled in mind

Therefore<WG3767> being<WG5312> by the right hand<WG1188> of God<WG2316> exalted<WG5312>, and<WG5037> having received<WG2983> of<WG3844> the Father<WG3962> the promise<WG1860> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, he hath shed forth<WG1632> this<WG5124>, which<WG3739> ye<WG5210> now<WG3568> see<WG991> and<WG2532> hear<WG191>.

Now<WG1161> when they heard<WG191> this, they were pricked<WG2660> in their heart<WG2588>, and<WG5037> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> to the rest<WG3062> of the apostles<WG652>, Men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, what<WG5101> shall we do<WG4160>?

btext:
Then<WG3303><WG3767> they that gladly<WG780> received<WG588> his<WG846> word<WG3056> were baptized<WG907>: and<WG2532> the same<WG1565> day<WG2250> there were added<WG4369> unto them about<WG5616> three thousand<WG5153> souls<WG5590>.

btext:
And<WG1161> all<WG3956> that believed<WG4100> were<WG2258> together<WG1909><WG846>, and<WG2532> had<WG2192> all things<WG537> common<WG2839>;


btext:
And<WG2532> sold<WG4097> their possessions<WG2933> and<WG2532> goods<WG5223>, and<WG2532> parted<WG1266> them<WG846> to all<WG3956> men, as<WG2530> every man<WG5100> had<WG302><WG2192> need<WG5532>.

And<WG5037> they, continuing<WG4342> daily<WG2596><WG2250> with one accord<WG3661> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG5037> breaking<WG2806> bread<WG740> from<WG2596> house to house<WG3624>, did eat<WG3335> their meat<WG5160> with<WG1722> gladness<WG20> and<WG2532> singleness<WG858> of heart<WG2588>, / from…: or, at home

btext:
Now<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> John<WG2491> went up<WG305> together<WG1909><WG846> into<WG1519> the temple<WG2411> at the hour<WG5610> of prayer<WG4335>, being the ninth<WG1766> hour.

btext:
And<WG1161> Peter<WG4074>, fastening his eyes<WG816> upon<WG1519> him<WG846> with<WG4862> John<WG2491>, said<WG2036>, Look<WG991> on<WG1519> us<WG2248>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he gave heed<WG1907> unto them<WG846>, expecting<WG4328> to receive<WG2983> something<WG5100> of<WG3844> them<WG846>.

btext:
And<WG2532> all<WG3956> the people<WG2992> saw<WG1492> him<WG846> walking<WG4043> and<WG2532> praising<WG134> God<WG2316>:

Whom<WG3739> the heaven<WG3772><WG3303> must<WG1163> receive<WG1209> until<WG891> the times<WG5550> of restitution<WG605> of all things<WG3956>, which<WG3739> God<WG2316> hath spoken<WG2980> by<WG1223> the mouth<WG4750> of all<WG3956> his<WG846> holy<WG40> prophets<WG4396> since<WG575> the world began<WG165>.


btext:
For<WG1063> Moses<WG3475> truly<WG3303> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> the fathers<WG3962><WG3754>, A prophet<WG4396> shall<WG450> the Lord<WG2962> your<WG5216> God<WG2316> raise up<WG450> unto you<WG5213> of<WG1537> your<WG5216> brethren<WG80>, like<WG5613> unto me<WG1691>; him<WG846> shall ye hear<WG191> in<WG2596> all things<WG3956> whatsoever<WG3745><WG302> he shall say<WG2980> unto<WG4314> you<WG5209>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it shall come to pass<WG2071>, that every<WG3956> soul<WG5590>, which<WG3748><WG302> will<WG191> not<WG3361> hear<WG191> that<WG1565> prophet<WG4396>, shall be destroyed<WG1842> from among<WG1537> the people<WG2992>.


btext:
Yea<WG2532>, and<WG1161> all<WG3956> the prophets<WG4396> from<WG575> Samuel<WG4545> and<WG2532> those that follow after<WG2517>, as many as<WG3745> have spoken<WG2980>, have<WG4293> likewise<WG2532> foretold<WG4293> of these<WG5025> days<WG2250>.


btext:
Ye<WG5210> are<WG2075> the children<WG5207> of the prophets<WG4396>, and<WG2532> of the covenant<WG1242> which<WG3739> God<WG2316> made<WG1303> with<WG4314> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962>, saying<WG3004> unto<WG4314> Abraham<WG11>, And<WG2532> in thy<WG4675> seed<WG4690> shall<WG1757> all<WG3956> the kindreds<WG3965> of the earth<WG1093> be blessed<WG1757>.


btext:
Unto you<WG5213> first<WG4412> God<WG2316>, having raised up<WG450> his<WG846> Son<WG3816> Jesus<WG2424>, sent<WG649> him<WG846> to bless<WG2127> you<WG5209>, in<WG1722> turning away<WG654> every one<WG1538> of you<WG5216> from<WG575> his iniquities<WG4189>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as they<WG846> spake<WG2980> unto<WG4314> the people<WG2992>, the priests<WG2409>, and<WG2532> the captain<WG4755> of the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> the Sadducees<WG4523>, came upon<WG2186> them<WG846>, / captain: or, ruler


btext:
Being grieved<WG1278> that<WG1223> they<WG846> taught<WG1321> the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> preached<WG2605> through<WG1722> Jesus<WG2424> the resurrection<WG386> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they laid<WG1911> hands<WG5495> on them<WG846>, and<WG2532> put<WG5087> them in<WG1519> hold<WG5084> unto<WG1519> the next day<WG839>: for<WG1063> it was<WG2258> now<WG2235> eventide<WG2073>.


btext:
Howbeit<WG1161> many<WG4183> of them which heard<WG191> the word<WG3056> believed<WG4100>; and<WG2532> the number<WG706> of the men<WG435> was<WG1096> about<WG5616> five<WG4002> thousand<WG5505>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096> on<WG1909> the morrow<WG839>, that their<WG846> rulers<WG758>, and<WG2532> elders<WG4245>, and<WG2532> scribes<WG1122>,


btext:
And<WG2532> Annas<WG452> the high priest<WG749>, and<WG2532> Caiaphas<WG2533>, and<WG2532> John<WG2491>, and<WG2532> Alexander<WG223>, and<WG2532> as many as<WG3745> were<WG2258> of<WG1537> the kindred<WG1085> of the high priest<WG748>, were gathered together<WG4863> at<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they had set<WG2476> them<WG846> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319>, they asked<WG4441>, By<WG1722> what<WG4169> power<WG1411>, or<WG2228> by<WG1722> what<WG4169> name<WG3686>, have<WG4160> ye<WG5210> done<WG4160> this<WG5124>?


btext:
Then<WG5119> Peter<WG4074>, filled<WG4130> with the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Ye rulers<WG758> of the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> of Israel<WG2474>,


btext:
If<WG1487> we<WG2249> this day<WG4594> be examined<WG350> of<WG1909> the good deed done<WG2108> to the impotent<WG772> man<WG444>, by<WG1722> what means<WG5101> he<WG3778> is made whole<WG4982>;


btext:
Be it<WG2077> known<WG1110> unto you<WG5213> all<WG3956>, and<WG2532> to all<WG3956> the people<WG2992> of Israel<WG2474>, that<WG3754> by<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547> of Nazareth<WG3480>, whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> crucified<WG4717>, whom<WG3739> God<WG2316> raised<WG1453> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>, even by<WG1722> him<WG5129> doth<WG3936> this man<WG3778> stand here<WG3936> before<WG1799> you<WG5216> whole<WG5199>.


btext:
This<WG3778> is<WG2076> the stone<WG3037> which<WG3588> was set at nought<WG1848> of<WG5259> you<WG5216> builders<WG3618>, which<WG3588> is become<WG1096> the head<WG2776> of<WG1519> the corner<WG1137>.


btext:
Neither<WG2532><WG3756> is there<WG2076> salvation<WG4991> in<WG1722> any<WG3762> other<WG243>: for<WG1063> there is<WG2076> none<WG3777> other<WG2087> name<WG3686> under<WG5259> heaven<WG3772> given<WG1325> among<WG1722> men<WG444>, whereby<WG1722><WG3739> we<WG2248> must<WG1163> be saved<WG4982>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when they saw<WG2334> the boldness<WG3954> of Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> John<WG2491>, and<WG2532> perceived<WG2638> that<WG3754> they were<WG1526> unlearned<WG62> and<WG2532> ignorant<WG2399> men<WG444>, they marvelled<WG2296>; and<WG5037> they took knowledge<WG1921> of them<WG846>, that<WG3754> they had been<WG2258> with<WG4862> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG1161> beholding<WG991> the man<WG444> which was healed<WG2323> standing<WG2476> with<WG4862> them<WG846>, they could<WG2192> say<WG471> nothing<WG3762> against it<WG471>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when they had commanded<WG2753> them<WG846> to go aside<WG565> out of<WG1854> the council<WG4892>, they conferred<WG4820> among<WG4314> themselves<WG240>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004>, What<WG5101> shall we do<WG4160> to these<WG5125> men<WG444>? for<WG1063> that<WG3754> indeed<WG3303> a notable<WG1110> miracle<WG4592> hath been done<WG1096> by<WG1223> them<WG846> is manifest<WG5318> to all them<WG3956> that dwell<WG2730> in Jerusalem<WG2419>; and<WG2532> we cannot<WG3756><WG1410> deny<WG720> it.


btext:
But<WG235> that<WG3363> it spread<WG1268> no<WG3363> further<WG1909><WG4119> among<WG1519> the people<WG2992>, let us straitly<WG547> threaten<WG546> them<WG846>, that they speak<WG2980> henceforth<WG3371> to no<WG3367> man<WG444> in<WG1909> this<WG5129> name<WG3686>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they called<WG2564> them<WG846>, and commanded<WG3853> them<WG846> not<WG3361> to speak<WG5350> at all<WG2527> nor<WG3366> teach<WG1321> in<WG1909> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> John<WG2491> answered<WG611> and said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Whether<WG1487> it be<WG2076> right<WG1342> in the sight<WG1799> of God<WG2316> to hearken<WG191> unto you<WG5216> more than<WG3123><WG2228> unto God<WG2316>, judge ye<WG2919>.


btext:
For<WG1063> we<WG2249> cannot<WG3756><WG1410> but<WG3361> speak<WG2980> the things which<WG3739> we have seen<WG1492> and<WG2532> heard<WG191>.


btext:
So<WG1161> when they had further threatened them<WG4324>, they let<WG630> them<WG846> go<WG630>, finding<WG2147> nothing<WG3367> how<WG4459> they might punish<WG2849> them<WG846>, because<WG1223> of the people<WG2992>: for<WG3754> all<WG3956> men glorified<WG1392> God<WG2316> for<WG1909> that which was done<WG1096>.


btext:
For<WG1063> the man<WG444> was<WG2258> above<WG4119> forty<WG5062> years old<WG2094>, on<WG1909> whom<WG3739> this<WG5124> miracle<WG4592> of healing<WG2392> was shewed<WG1096>.


btext:
And<WG1161> being let go<WG630>, they went<WG2064> to<WG4314> their own company<WG2398>, and<WG2532> reported<WG518> all<WG3745> that the chief priests<WG749> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> had said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they heard that<WG191>, they lifted up<WG142> their voice<WG5456> to<WG4314> God<WG2316> with one accord<WG3661>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Lord<WG1203>, thou<WG4771> art God<WG2316>, which<WG3588> hast made<WG4160> heaven<WG3772>, and<WG2532> earth<WG1093>, and<WG2532> the sea<WG2281>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> that in<WG1722> them is<WG846>:


btext:
Who<WG3588> by<WG1223> the mouth<WG4750> of thy<WG4675> servant<WG3816> David<WG1138> hast said<WG2036>, Why<WG2444> did<WG5433> the heathen<WG1484> rage<WG5433>, and<WG2532> the people<WG2992> imagine<WG3191> vain things<WG2756>?


btext:
The kings<WG935> of the earth<WG1093> stood up<WG3936>, and<WG2532> the rulers<WG758> were gathered<WG4863> together<WG1909><WG846> against<WG2596> the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> against<WG2596> his<WG846> Christ<WG5547>.


btext:
For<WG1063> of<WG1909> a truth<WG225> against<WG1909> thy<WG4675> holy<WG40> child<WG3816> Jesus<WG2424>, whom<WG3739> thou hast anointed<WG5548>, both<WG5037> Herod<WG2264>, and<WG2532> Pontius<WG4194> Pilate<WG4091>, with<WG4862> the Gentiles<WG1484>, and<WG2532> the people<WG2992> of Israel<WG2474>, were gathered together<WG4863>,


btext:
For to do<WG4160> whatsoever<WG3745> thy<WG4675> hand<WG5495> and<WG2532> thy<WG4675> counsel<WG1012> determined before<WG4309> to be done<WG1096>.


btext:
And<WG2532> now<WG3569>, Lord<WG2962>, behold<WG1896><WG1909> their<WG846> threatenings<WG547>: and<WG2532> grant unto<WG1325> thy<WG4675> servants<WG1401>, that with<WG3326> all<WG3956> boldness<WG3954> they may speak<WG2980> thy<WG4675> word<WG3056>,


btext:
By<WG1722><WG4571> stretching forth<WG1614> thine<WG4675> hand<WG5495> to<WG1519> heal<WG2392>; and<WG2532> that signs<WG4592> and<WG2532> wonders<WG5059> may be done<WG1096> by<WG1223> the name<WG3686> of thy<WG4675> holy<WG40> child<WG3816> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they<WG846> had prayed<WG1189>, the place<WG5117> was shaken<WG4531> where<WG1722><WG3739> they were<WG2258> assembled together<WG4863>; and<WG2532> they were<WG4130> all<WG537> filled<WG4130> with the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, and<WG2532> they spake<WG2980> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> with<WG3326> boldness<WG3954>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the multitude<WG4128> of them that believed<WG4100> were<WG2258> of one heart<WG2588> and<WG2532> of one<WG3391> soul<WG5590>: neither<WG2532><WG3761> said<WG3004> any<WG1520> of them that ought<WG5100> of the things which he<WG846> possessed<WG5224> was<WG1511> his own<WG2398>; but<WG235> they<WG846> had<WG2258> all things<WG537> common<WG2839>.


btext:
And<WG2532> with great<WG3173> power<WG1411> gave<WG591> the apostles<WG652> witness<WG3142> of the resurrection<WG386> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>: and<WG5037> great<WG3173> grace<WG5485> was<WG2258> upon<WG1909> them<WG846> all<WG3956>.


btext:
Neither<WG3761><WG1063> was<WG5225> there any<WG5100> among<WG1722> them<WG846> that lacked<WG1729>: for<WG1063> as many as<WG3745> were<WG5225> possessors<WG2935> of lands<WG5564> or<WG2228> houses<WG3614> sold them<WG4453>, and brought<WG5342> the prices<WG5092> of the things that were sold<WG4097>,


btext:
And<WG2532> laid them down<WG5087> at<WG3844> the apostles'<WG652> feet<WG4228>: and<WG1161> distribution was made<WG1239> unto every man<WG1538> according<WG2530> as<WG302> he had<WG2192> need<WG5100><WG5532>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Joses<WG2500>, who<WG3588> by<WG5259> the apostles<WG652> was surnamed<WG1941> Barnabas<WG921>, (which<WG3739> is<WG2076>, being interpreted<WG3177>, The son<WG5207> of consolation<WG3874>,) a Levite<WG3019>, and of the country<WG1085> of Cyprus<WG2953>,


btext:
Having<WG5225><WG846> land<WG68>, sold<WG4453> it, and brought<WG5342> the money<WG5536>, and<WG2532> laid<WG5087> it at<WG3844> the apostles'<WG652> feet<WG4228>.


btext:
But<WG1161> a certain<WG5100> man<WG435> named<WG3686> Ananias<WG367>, with<WG4862> Sapphira<WG4551> his<WG846> wife<WG1135>, sold<WG4453> a possession<WG2933>,


btext:
And<WG2532> kept back<WG3557> part of<WG575> the price<WG5092>, his<WG846> wife<WG1135> also<WG2532> being privy<WG4894> to it, and<WG2532> brought<WG5342> a certain<WG5100> part<WG3313>, and laid<WG5087> it at<WG3844> the apostles'<WG652> feet<WG4228>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> said<WG2036>, Ananias<WG367>, why<WG1302> hath Satan<WG4567> filled<WG4137> thine<WG4675> heart<WG2588><WG4571> to lie<WG5574> to the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, and<WG2532> to keep back<WG3557> part of<WG575> the price<WG5092> of the land<WG5564>? / to lie to: or, to deceive


btext:
Whiles it remained<WG3306>, was it not<WG3780> thine own<WG4671><WG3306>? and<WG2532> after it was sold<WG4097>, was it not<WG5225> in<WG1722> thine own<WG4674> power<WG1849>? why<WG5101><WG3754> hast thou conceived<WG5087> this<WG5124> thing<WG4229> in<WG1722> thine<WG4675> heart<WG2588>? thou hast<WG5574> not<WG3756> lied<WG5574> unto men<WG444>, but<WG235> unto God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Ananias<WG367> hearing<WG191> these<WG5128> words<WG3056> fell down<WG4098>, and gave up the ghost<WG1634>: and<WG2532> great<WG3173> fear<WG5401> came<WG1096> on<WG1909> all<WG3956> them that heard<WG191> these things<WG5023>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the young men<WG3501> arose<WG450>, wound<WG4958> him<WG846> up<WG4958>, and<WG2532> carried him out<WG1627>, and buried<WG2290> him.


btext:
And<WG1161> it was<WG1096> about<WG5613> the space<WG1292> of three<WG5140> hours<WG5610> after<WG1292>, when<WG2532> his<WG846> wife<WG1135>, not<WG3361> knowing<WG1492> what was done<WG1096>, came in<WG1525>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> answered<WG611> unto her<WG846>, Tell<WG2036> me<WG3427> whether<WG1487> ye sold<WG591> the land<WG5564> for so much<WG5118>? And<WG1161> she said<WG2036>, Yea<WG3483>, for so much<WG5118>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> her<WG846>, How<WG5101> is it that<WG3754> ye<WG5213> have agreed together<WG4856> to tempt<WG3985> the Spirit<WG4151> of the Lord<WG2962>? behold<WG2400>, the feet<WG4228> of them which have buried<WG2290> thy<WG4675> husband<WG435> are at<WG1909> the door<WG2374>, and<WG2532> shall carry<WG1627> thee<WG4571> out<WG1627>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> fell she down<WG4098> straightway<WG3916> at<WG3844> his<WG846> feet<WG4228>, and<WG2532> yielded up the ghost<WG1634>: and<WG1161> the young men<WG3495> came in<WG1525>, and found<WG2147> her<WG846> dead<WG3498>, and<WG2532>, carrying her forth<WG1627>, buried<WG2290> her by<WG4314> her<WG846> husband<WG435>.


btext:
And<WG2532> great<WG3173> fear<WG5401> came<WG1096> upon<WG1909> all<WG3650> the church<WG1577>, and<WG2532> upon<WG1909> as many as<WG3956> heard<WG191> these things<WG5023>.


btext:
And<WG1161> by<WG1223> the hands<WG5495> of the apostles<WG652> were<WG1096> many<WG4183> signs<WG4592> and<WG2532> wonders<WG5059> wrought<WG1096><WG1096> among<WG1722> the people<WG2992>; (and<WG2532> they were<WG2258> all<WG537> with one accord<WG3661> in<WG1722> Solomon's<WG4672> porch<WG4745>.


btext:
And<WG1161> of the rest<WG3062> durst<WG5111> no man<WG3762> join himself<WG2853> to them<WG846>: but<WG235> the people<WG2992> magnified<WG3170> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> believers<WG4100> were<WG4369> the more<WG3123> added<WG4369> to the Lord<WG2962>, multitudes<WG4128> both<WG5037> of men<WG435> and<WG2532> women<WG1135>.)

Insomuch<WG5620> that they brought forth<WG1627> the sick<WG772> into<WG2596> the streets<WG4113>, and<WG2532> laid<WG5087> them on<WG1909> beds<WG2825> and<WG2532> couches<WG2895>, that<WG2443> at the least<WG2579> the shadow<WG4639> of Peter<WG4074> passing by<WG2064> might overshadow<WG1982> some<WG5100> of them<WG846>. / into…: or, in every street


btext:
<WG1161> There came<WG4905> also<WG2532> a multitude<WG4128> out of the cities<WG4172> round about<WG4038> unto<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, bringing<WG5342> sick<WG772> folks, and<WG2532> them which were vexed<WG3791> with<WG5259> unclean<WG169> spirits<WG4151>: and they<WG3748> were healed<WG2323> every one<WG537>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the high priest<WG749> rose up<WG450>, and<WG2532> all they<WG3956> that were with<WG4862> him<WG846>, (which<WG3588> is<WG5607> the sect<WG139> of the Sadducees<WG4523>,) and were filled<WG4130> with indignation<WG2205>, / indignation: or, envy


btext:
And<WG2532> laid<WG1911> their<WG846> hands<WG5495> on<WG1909> the apostles<WG652>, and<WG2532> put<WG5087> them<WG846> in<WG1722> the common<WG1219> prison<WG5084>.


btext:
But<WG1161> the angel<WG32> of the Lord<WG2962> by<WG1223> night<WG3571> opened<WG455> the prison<WG5438> doors<WG2374>, and<WG5037> brought<WG1806> them<WG846> forth<WG1806>, and said<WG2036>,


btext:
Go<WG4198>, stand<WG2476> and<WG2532> speak<WG2980> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411> to the people<WG2992> all<WG3956> the words<WG4487> of this<WG5026> life<WG2222>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they heard<WG191> that, they entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the temple<WG2411> early in the morning<WG5259><WG3722>, and<WG2532> taught<WG1321>. But<WG1161> the high priest<WG749> came<WG3854>, and<WG2532> they that were with<WG4862> him<WG846>, and called<WG4779> the council<WG4892> together<WG4779>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> the senate<WG1087> of the children<WG5207> of Israel<WG2474>, and<WG2532> sent<WG649> to<WG1519> the prison<WG1201> to have<WG71> them<WG846> brought<WG71>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when the officers<WG5257> came<WG3854>, and found<WG2147> them<WG846> not<WG3756> in<WG1722> the prison<WG5438>, they returned<WG390>, and<WG1161> told<WG518>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004><WG3754>, The prison<WG1201> truly<WG3303> found we<WG2147> shut<WG2808> with<WG1722> all<WG3956> safety<WG803>, and<WG2532> the keepers<WG5441> standing<WG2476> without<WG1854> before<WG4253> the doors<WG2374>: but<WG1161> when we had opened<WG455>, we found<WG2147> no man<WG3762> within<WG2080>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when<WG5613><WG5037> the high priest<WG2409> and<WG2532> the captain<WG4755> of the temple<WG2411> and<WG2532> the chief priests<WG749> heard<WG191> these<WG5128> things<WG3056>, they doubted<WG1280> of<WG4012> them<WG846> whereunto<WG5101><WG302> this<WG5124> would grow<WG1096>.


btext:
Then came<WG3854> one<WG5100> and<WG1161> told<WG518> them<WG846>, saying<WG3004><WG3754>, Behold<WG2400>, the men<WG435> whom<WG3739> ye put<WG5087> in<WG1722> prison<WG5438> are<WG1526> standing<WG2476> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> teaching<WG1321> the people<WG2992>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> went<WG565> the captain<WG4755> with<WG4862> the officers<WG5257>, and brought<WG71> them<WG846> without<WG3756><WG3326> violence<WG970>: for<WG1063> they feared<WG5399> the people<WG2992>, lest<WG3363> they should have been stoned<WG3034>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they had brought<WG71> them<WG846>, they set<WG2476> them before<WG1722> the council<WG4892>: and<WG2532> the high priest<WG749> asked<WG1905> them<WG846>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004>, Did<WG3853> not<WG3756> we straitly<WG3852> command<WG3853> you<WG5213> that ye should<WG1321> not<WG3361> teach<WG1321> in<WG1909> this<WG5129> name<WG3686>? and<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, ye have filled<WG4137> Jerusalem<WG2419> with your<WG5216> doctrine<WG1322>, and<WG2532> intend<WG1014> to bring<WG1863> this<WG5127> man's<WG444> blood<WG129> upon<WG1909> us<WG2248>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> the other apostles<WG652> answered<WG611> and said<WG2036>, We ought<WG1163> to obey<WG3980> God<WG2316> rather<WG3123> than<WG2228> men<WG444>.


btext:
The God<WG2316> of our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> raised up<WG1453> Jesus<WG2424>, whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> slew<WG1315> and hanged<WG2910> on<WG1909> a tree<WG3586>.


btext:
Him<WG5126> hath God<WG2316> exalted<WG5312> with his<WG846> right hand<WG1188> to be a Prince<WG747> and<WG2532> a Saviour<WG4990>, for to give<WG1325> repentance<WG3341> to Israel<WG2474>, and<WG2532> forgiveness<WG859> of sins<WG266>.


btext:
And<WG2532> we<WG2249> are<WG2070> his<WG846> witnesses<WG3144> of these<WG5130> things<WG4487>; and<WG2532> so is also<WG1161> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, whom<WG3739> God<WG2316> hath given<WG1325> to them that obey<WG3980> him<WG846>.


btext:
When<WG1161> they heard<WG191> that, they were cut<WG1282> to the heart, and<WG2532> took counsel<WG1011> to slay<WG337> them<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> stood there up<WG450> one<WG5100> in<WG1722> the council<WG4892>, a Pharisee<WG5330>, named<WG3686> Gamaliel<WG1059>, a doctor of the law<WG3547>, had in reputation<WG5093> among all<WG3956> the people<WG2992>, and commanded<WG2753> to put<WG4160> the apostles<WG652> forth<WG1854> a<WG5100> little space<WG1024>;


btext:
And<WG5037> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Ye men<WG435> of Israel<WG2475>, take heed<WG4337> to yourselves<WG1438> what<WG5101> ye intend<WG3195> to do<WG4238> as touching<WG1909> these<WG5125> men<WG444>.


btext:
For<WG1063> before<WG4253> these<WG5130> days<WG2250> rose up<WG450> Theudas<WG2333>, boasting<WG3004> himself<WG1438> to be<WG1511> somebody<WG5100>; to whom<WG3739> a number<WG706> of men<WG435>, about<WG5616> four hundred<WG5071>, joined themselves<WG4347>: who<WG3739> was slain<WG337>; and<WG2532> all<WG3956>, as many as<WG3745> obeyed<WG3982> him<WG846>, were scattered<WG1262>, and<WG2532> brought<WG1096> to<WG1519> nought<WG3762>. / obeyed: or, believed


btext:
After<WG3326> this man<WG5126> rose up<WG450> Judas<WG2455> of Galilee<WG1057> in<WG1722> the days<WG2250> of the taxing<WG582>, and<WG2532> drew away<WG868> much<WG2425> people<WG2992> after<WG3694> him<WG846>: he also<WG2548> perished<WG622>; and<WG2532> all<WG3956>, even as many as<WG3745> obeyed<WG3982> him<WG846>, were dispersed<WG1287>. / obeyed: or, believed


btext:
And<WG2532> now<WG3569> I say<WG3004> unto you<WG5213>, Refrain<WG868> from<WG575> these<WG5130> men<WG444>, and<WG2532> let<WG1439> them<WG846> alone<WG1439>: for<WG3754> if<WG1437> this<WG3778> counsel<WG1012> or<WG2228> this<WG5124> work<WG2041> be<WG5600> of<WG1537> men<WG444>, it will come to nought<WG2647>:


btext:
But<WG1161> if<WG1487> it be<WG2076> of<WG1537> God<WG2316>, ye cannot<WG3756><WG1410> overthrow<WG2647> it<WG846>; lest haply<WG3379> ye be found<WG2147> even<WG2532> to fight against God<WG2314>.


btext:
And<WG1161> to him<WG846> they agreed<WG3982>: and<WG2532> when they had called<WG4341> the apostles<WG652>, and beaten<WG1194> them, they commanded<WG3853> that they should<WG2980> not<WG3361> speak<WG2980> in<WG1909> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> let<WG630> them<WG846> go<WG630>.


btext:
And<WG3767> they departed<WG4198><WG3303> from<WG575> the presence<WG4383> of the council<WG4892>, rejoicing<WG5463> that<WG3754> they were counted worthy<WG2661> to suffer shame<WG818> for<WG5228> his<WG846> name<WG3686>.


btext:
And<WG5037> daily<WG2250><WG3956> in<WG1722> the temple<WG2411>, and<WG2532> in every<WG2596> house<WG3624>, they ceased<WG3973> not<WG3756> to teach<WG1321> and<WG2532> preach<WG2097> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547>.


btext:
And<WG1161> in<WG1722> those<WG5025> days<WG2250>, when the number<WG4129> of the disciples<WG3101> was multiplied<WG4129>, there arose<WG1096> a murmuring<WG1112> of the Grecians<WG1675> against<WG4314> the Hebrews<WG1445>, because<WG3754> their<WG846> widows<WG5503> were neglected<WG3865> in<WG1722> the daily<WG2522> ministration<WG1248>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the twelve<WG1427> called<WG4341> the multitude<WG4128> of the disciples<WG3101> unto them, and said<WG2036>, It is<WG2076> not<WG3756> reason<WG701> that we<WG2248> should leave<WG2641> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316>, and serve<WG1247> tables<WG5132>.


btext:
Wherefore<WG3767>, brethren<WG80>, look ye out<WG1980> among<WG1537> you<WG5216> seven<WG2033> men<WG435> of honest report<WG3140>, full<WG4134> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> and<WG2532> wisdom<WG4678>, whom<WG3739> we may appoint<WG2525> over<WG1909> this<WG5026> business<WG5532>.


btext:
But<WG1161> we<WG2249> will give ourselves continually<WG4342> to prayer<WG4335>, and<WG2532> to the ministry<WG1248> of the word<WG3056>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the saying<WG3056> pleased<WG700><WG1799> the whole<WG3956> multitude<WG4128>: and<WG2532> they chose<WG1586> Stephen<WG4736>, a man<WG435> full<WG4134> of faith<WG4102> and<WG2532> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, and<WG2532> Philip<WG5376>, and<WG2532> Prochorus<WG4402>, and<WG2532> Nicanor<WG3527>, and<WG2532> Timon<WG5096>, and<WG2532> Parmenas<WG3937>, and<WG2532> Nicolas<WG3532> a proselyte<WG4339> of Antioch<WG491>:


btext:
Whom<WG3739> they set<WG2476> before<WG1799> the apostles<WG652>: and<WG2532> when they had prayed<WG4336>, they laid<WG2007> their hands<WG5495> on<WG2007> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> increased<WG837>; and<WG2532> the number<WG706> of the disciples<WG3101> multiplied<WG4129> in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419> greatly<WG4970>; and<WG5037> a great<WG4183> company<WG3793> of the priests<WG2409> were obedient<WG5219> to the faith<WG4102>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Stephen<WG4736>, full<WG4134> of faith<WG4102> and<WG2532> power<WG1411>, did<WG4160> great<WG3173> wonders<WG5059> and<WG2532> miracles<WG4592> among<WG1722> the people<WG2992>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> there arose<WG450> certain<WG5100> of<WG1537> the synagogue<WG4864>, which<WG3588> is called<WG3004> the synagogue of the Libertines<WG3032>, and<WG2532> Cyrenians<WG2956>, and<WG2532> Alexandrians<WG221>, and<WG2532> of them of<WG575> Cilicia<WG2791> and<WG2532> of Asia<WG773>, disputing<WG4802> with Stephen<WG4736>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they were<WG2480> not<WG3756> able<WG2480> to resist<WG436> the wisdom<WG4678> and<WG2532> the spirit<WG4151> by which<WG3739> he spake<WG2980>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> they suborned<WG5260> men<WG435>, which said<WG3004><WG3754>, We have heard<WG191> him<WG846> speak<WG2980> blasphemous<WG989> words<WG4487> against<WG1519> Moses<WG3475>, and<WG2532> against God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG5037> they stirred up<WG4787> the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> the elders<WG4245>, and<WG2532> the scribes<WG1122>, and<WG2532> came upon<WG2186> him, and caught<WG4884> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> brought<WG71> him to<WG1519> the council<WG4892>,


btext:
And<WG5037> set up<WG2476> false<WG5571> witnesses<WG3144>, which said<WG3004>, This<WG5127> man<WG444> ceaseth<WG3973> not<WG3756> to speak<WG2980> blasphemous<WG989> words<WG4487> against<WG2596> this<WG3778> holy<WG40> place<WG5117>, and<WG2532> the law<WG3551>:


btext:
For<WG1063> we have heard<WG191> him<WG846> say<WG3004>, that<WG3754> this<WG5126> Jesus<WG2424> of Nazareth<WG3480> shall destroy<WG2647> this<WG3778> place<WG5117>, and<WG2532> shall change<WG236> the customs<WG1485> which<WG3739> Moses<WG3475> delivered<WG3860> us<WG2254>. / customs: or, rites


btext:
And<WG2532> all<WG537> that sat<WG2516> in<WG1722> the council<WG4892>, looking stedfastly<WG816> on<WG1519> him<WG846>, saw<WG1492> his<WG846> face<WG4383> as it had been<WG5616> the face<WG4383> of an angel<WG32>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> said<WG2036> the high priest<WG749>, Are<WG1487><WG686><WG2192> these things<WG5023> so<WG3779>?


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG5346>, Men<WG435>, brethren<WG80>, and<WG2532> fathers<WG3962>, hearken<WG191>; The God<WG2316> of glory<WG1391> appeared<WG3700> unto our<WG2257> father<WG3962> Abraham<WG11>, when he was<WG5607> in<WG1722> Mesopotamia<WG3318>, before<WG4250><WG2228> he<WG846> dwelt<WG2730> in<WG1722> Charran<WG5488>,


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Get thee<WG1831> out of<WG1537> thy<WG4675> country<WG1093>, and<WG2532> from<WG1537> thy<WG4675> kindred<WG4772>, and<WG2532> come<WG1204> into<WG1519> the land<WG1093> which<WG3739><WG302> I shall shew<WG1166> thee<WG4671>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> came he<WG1831> out of<WG1537> the land<WG1093> of the Chaldaeans<WG5466>, and dwelt<WG2730> in<WG1722> Charran<WG5488>: and from thence<WG2547>, when<WG3326> his<WG846> father<WG3962> was dead<WG599>, he removed<WG3351> him<WG846> into<WG1519> this<WG5026> land<WG1093>, wherein<WG1519><WG3739> ye<WG5210> now<WG3568> dwell<WG2730>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he gave<WG1325> him<WG846> none<WG3756> inheritance<WG2817> in<WG1722> it<WG846>, no, not<WG3761> so much as to set<WG968> his foot<WG4228> on<WG968>: yet<WG2532> he promised<WG1861> that he would give<WG1325> it<WG846> to him<WG846> for<WG1519> a possession<WG2697>, and<WG2532> to his<WG846> seed<WG4690> after<WG3326> him<WG846>, when as yet he<WG846> had<WG5607> no<WG3756> child<WG5043>.


btext:
And<WG1161> God<WG2316> spake<WG2980> on this wise<WG3779>, That<WG3754> his<WG846> seed<WG4690> should<WG2071> sojourn<WG3941> in<WG1722> a strange<WG245> land<WG1093>; and<WG2532> that they should bring<WG1402> them<WG846> into bondage<WG1402>, and<WG2532> entreat them evil<WG2559> four hundred<WG5071> years<WG2094>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the nation<WG1484> to whom<WG3739><WG1437> they shall be in bondage<WG1398> will<WG2919> I<WG1473> judge<WG2919>, said<WG2036> God<WG2316>: and<WG2532> after<WG3326> that<WG5023> shall they come forth<WG1831>, and<WG2532> serve<WG3000> me<WG3427> in<WG1722> this<WG5129> place<WG5117>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he gave<WG1325> him<WG846> the covenant<WG1242> of circumcision<WG4061>: and<WG2532> so<WG3779> Abraham begat<WG1080> Isaac<WG2464>, and<WG2532> circumcised<WG4059> him<WG846> the eighth<WG3590> day<WG2250>; and<WG2532> Isaac<WG2464> begat Jacob<WG2384>; and<WG2532> Jacob<WG2384> begat the twelve<WG1427> patriarchs<WG3966>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the patriarchs<WG3966>, moved with envy<WG2206>, sold<WG591> Joseph<WG2501> into<WG1519> Egypt<WG125>: but<WG2532> God<WG2316> was<WG2258> with<WG3326> him<WG846>,


btext:
And<WG2532> delivered<WG1807> him<WG846> out of<WG1537> all<WG3956> his<WG846> afflictions<WG2347>, and<WG2532> gave<WG1325> him<WG846> favour<WG5485> and<WG2532> wisdom<WG4678> in the sight<WG1726> of Pharaoh<WG5328> king<WG935> of Egypt<WG125>; and<WG2532> he made<WG2525> him<WG846> governor<WG2233> over<WG1909> Egypt<WG125> and<WG2532> all<WG3650> his<WG846> house<WG3624>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> there came<WG2064> a dearth<WG3042> over<WG1909> all<WG3650> the land<WG1093> of Egypt<WG125> and<WG2532> Chanaan<WG5477>, and<WG2532> great<WG3173> affliction<WG2347>: and<WG2532> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> found<WG2147> no<WG3756> sustenance<WG5527>.

But<WG1161> when Jacob<WG2384> heard<WG191> that there was<WG5607> corn<WG4621> in<WG1722> Egypt<WG125>, he sent out<WG1821> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> first<WG4412>.


btext:
And<WG2532> at<WG1722> the second<WG1208> time Joseph<WG2501> was made known<WG319> to his<WG846> brethren<WG80>; and<WG2532> Joseph's<WG2501> kindred<WG1085> was made<WG1096> known<WG5318> unto Pharaoh<WG5328>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> sent<WG649> Joseph<WG2501>, and called<WG3333> his<WG846> father<WG3962> Jacob<WG2384> to him, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> his<WG846> kindred<WG4772><WG1722>, threescore<WG1440> and fifteen<WG4002> souls<WG5590>.


btext:
So<WG1161> Jacob<WG2384> went down<WG2597> into<WG1519> Egypt<WG125>, and<WG2532> died<WG5053>, he<WG846>, and<WG2532> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962>,


btext:
And<WG2532> were carried over<WG3346> into<WG1519> Sychem<WG4966>, and<WG2532> laid<WG5087> in<WG1722> the sepulchre<WG3418> that<WG3739> Abraham<WG11> bought<WG5608> for a sum<WG5092> of money<WG694> of<WG3844> the sons<WG5207> of Emmor<WG1697> the father<WG3588> of Sychem<WG4966>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when<WG2531> the time<WG5550> of the promise<WG1860> drew nigh<WG1448>, which<WG3739> God<WG2316> had sworn<WG3660> to Abraham<WG11>, the people<WG2992> grew<WG837> and<WG2532> multiplied<WG4129> in<WG1722> Egypt<WG125>,


btext:
Till<WG891><WG3739> another<WG2087> king<WG935> arose<WG450>, which<WG3739> knew<WG1492> not<WG3756> Joseph<WG2501>.


btext:
The same<WG3778> dealt subtilly<WG2686> with our<WG2257> kindred<WG1085>, and evil entreated<WG2559> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962>, so that<WG4160> they cast out<WG1570> their<WG846> young children<WG1025>, to the end<WG1519> they might<WG2225> not<WG3361> live<WG2225>.


btext:
In<WG1722> which<WG3739> time<WG2540> Moses<WG3475> was born<WG1080>, and<WG2532> was<WG2258> exceeding<WG2316> fair<WG791>, and<WG3739> nourished up<WG397> in<WG1722> his<WG846> father's<WG3962> house<WG3624> three<WG5140> months<WG3376>: / exceeding fair: or, fair to God


btext:
And<WG1161> when he<WG846> was cast out<WG1620>, Pharaoh's<WG5328> daughter<WG2364> took<WG337> him<WG846> up<WG337>, and<WG2532> nourished<WG397> him<WG846> for<WG1519> her own<WG1438> son<WG5207>.


btext:
And<WG2532> Moses<WG3475> was learned<WG3811> in all<WG3956> the wisdom<WG4678> of the Egyptians<WG124>, and<WG1161> was<WG2258> mighty<WG1415> in<WG1722> words<WG3056> and<WG2532> in<WG1722> deeds<WG2041>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> he<WG846> was full<WG4137> forty years<WG5063> old<WG5550>, it came<WG305> into<WG1909> his<WG846> heart<WG2588> to visit<WG1980> his<WG846> brethren<WG80> the children<WG5207> of Israel<WG2474>.


btext:
And<WG2532> seeing<WG1492> one<WG5100> of them suffer wrong<WG91>, he defended<WG292> him, and<WG2532> avenged<WG1557><WG4160> him that was oppressed<WG2669>, and smote<WG3960> the Egyptian<WG124>:


btext:
For<WG1161> he supposed<WG3543> his<WG846> brethren<WG80> would have understood<WG4920> how<WG3754> that God<WG2316> by<WG1223> his<WG846> hand<WG5495> would deliver<WG1325><WG4991> them<WG846>: but<WG1161> they understood<WG4920> not<WG3756>. / For: or, Now


btext:
And<WG5037> the next<WG1966> day<WG2250> he shewed himself<WG3700> unto them<WG846> as they strove<WG3164>, and<WG2532> would have set<WG4900> them<WG846> at<WG1519> one again<WG1515>, saying<WG2036>, Sirs<WG435>, ye<WG5210> are<WG2075> brethren<WG80>; why<WG2444> do ye wrong<WG91> one to another<WG240>?


btext:
But<WG1161> he that did<WG91> his neighbour<WG4139> wrong<WG91> thrust<WG683> him<WG846> away<WG683>, saying<WG2036>, Who<WG5101> made<WG2525> thee<WG4571> a ruler<WG758> and<WG2532> a judge<WG1348> over<WG1909> us<WG2248>?


btext:
Wilt<WG3361><WG2309> thou<WG4771> kill<WG337> me<WG3165>, as<WG3739><WG5158> thou diddest<WG337> the Egyptian<WG124> yesterday<WG5504>?


btext:
Then<WG1161> fled<WG5343> Moses<WG3475> at<WG1722> this<WG5129> saying<WG3056>, and<WG2532> was<WG1096> a stranger<WG3941> in<WG1722> the land<WG1093> of Madian<WG3099>, where<WG3757> he begat<WG1080> two<WG1417> sons<WG5207>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when forty<WG5062> years<WG2094> were expired<WG4137>, there appeared<WG3700> to him<WG846> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048> of mount<WG3735> Sina<WG4614> an angel<WG32> of the Lord<WG2962> in<WG1722> a flame<WG5395> of fire<WG4442> in a bush<WG942>.


btext:
When<WG1161> Moses<WG3475> saw<WG1492> it, he wondered<WG2296> at the sight<WG3705>: and<WG1161> as he<WG846> drew near<WG4334> to behold<WG2657> it, the voice<WG5456> of the Lord<WG2962> came<WG1096> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>,


btext:
Saying, I<WG1473> am the God<WG2316> of thy<WG4675> fathers<WG3962>, the God<WG2316> of Abraham<WG11>, and<WG2532> the God<WG2316> of Isaac<WG2464>, and<WG2532> the God<WG2316> of Jacob<WG2384>. Then<WG1161> Moses<WG3475> trembled<WG1096><WG1790>, and durst<WG5111> not<WG3756> behold<WG2657>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> said<WG2036> the Lord<WG2962> to him<WG846>, Put off<WG3089> thy shoes<WG5266> from thy<WG4675> feet<WG4228>: for<WG1063> the place<WG5117> where<WG1722><WG3739> thou standest<WG2476> is<WG2076> holy<WG40> ground<WG1093>.


btext:
I have seen<WG1492>, I have seen<WG1492> the affliction<WG2561> of my<WG3450> people<WG2992> which<WG3588> is in<WG1722> Egypt<WG125>, and<WG2532> I have heard<WG191> their<WG846> groaning<WG4726>, and<WG2532> am come down<WG2597> to deliver<WG1807> them<WG846>. And<WG2532> now<WG3568> come<WG1204>, I will send<WG649> thee<WG4571> into<WG1519> Egypt<WG125>.


btext:
This<WG5126> Moses<WG3475> whom<WG3739> they refused<WG720>, saying<WG2036>, Who<WG5101> made<WG2525> thee<WG4571> a ruler<WG758> and<WG2532> a judge<WG1348>? the same<WG5126> did God<WG2316> send<WG649> to be a ruler<WG758> and<WG2532> a deliverer<WG3086> by<WG1722> the hand<WG5495> of the angel<WG32> which<WG3588> appeared<WG3700> to him<WG846> in<WG1722> the bush<WG942>.


btext:
He<WG3778> brought<WG1806> them<WG846> out<WG1806>, after that he had shewed<WG4160> wonders<WG5059> and<WG2532> signs<WG4592> in<WG1722> the land<WG1093> of Egypt<WG125>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> the Red<WG2063> sea<WG2281>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048> forty<WG5062> years<WG2094>.


btext:
This<WG3778> is<WG2076> that Moses<WG3475>, which<WG3588> said<WG2036> unto the children<WG5207> of Israel<WG2474>, A prophet<WG4396> shall<WG450> the Lord<WG2962> your<WG5216> God<WG2316> raise up<WG450> unto you<WG5213> of<WG1537> your<WG5216> brethren<WG80>, like<WG5613> unto me<WG1691>; him<WG846> shall ye hear<WG191>. / like…: or, as myself


btext:
This<WG3778> is he<WG2076>, that was<WG1096> in<WG1722> the church<WG1577> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048> with<WG3326> the angel<WG32> which<WG3588> spake<WG2980> to him<WG846> in<WG1722> the mount<WG3735> Sina<WG4614>, and<WG2532> with our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962>: who<WG3739> received<WG1209> the lively<WG2198> oracles<WG3051> to give<WG1325> unto us<WG2254>:


btext:
To whom<WG3739> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> would<WG2309> not<WG3756> obey<WG1096><WG5255>, but<WG235> thrust him from them<WG683>, and<WG2532> in their<WG846> hearts<WG2588> turned back again<WG4762> into<WG1519> Egypt<WG125>,


btext:
Saying<WG2036> unto Aaron<WG2>, Make<WG4160> us<WG2254> gods<WG2316> to<WG3739> go before<WG4313> us<WG2257>: for<WG1063> as for this<WG3778> Moses<WG3475>, which<WG3739> brought<WG1806> us<WG2248> out of<WG1537> the land<WG1093> of Egypt<WG125>, we wot<WG1492> not<WG3756> what<WG5101> is become<WG1096> of him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they made a calf<WG3447> in<WG1722> those<WG1565> days<WG2250>, and<WG2532> offered<WG321> sacrifice<WG2378> unto the idol<WG1497>, and<WG2532> rejoiced<WG2165> in<WG1722> the works<WG2041> of their own<WG846> hands<WG5495>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> God<WG2316> turned<WG4762>, and<WG2532> gave<WG3860> them<WG846> up<WG3860> to worship<WG3000> the host<WG4756> of heaven<WG3772>; as it<WG2531> is written<WG1125> in<WG1722> the book<WG976> of the prophets<WG4396>, O ye house<WG3624> of Israel<WG2474>, have ye offered<WG3361><WG4374> to me<WG3427> slain beasts<WG4968> and<WG2532> sacrifices<WG2378> by the space of forty<WG5062> years<WG2094> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>?


btext:
Yea<WG2532>, ye took up<WG353> the tabernacle<WG4633> of Moloch<WG3434>, and<WG2532> the star<WG798> of your<WG5216> god<WG2316> Remphan<WG4481>, figures<WG5179> which<WG3739> ye made<WG4160> to worship<WG4352> them<WG846>: and<WG2532> I will carry<WG3351> you<WG5209> away<WG3351> beyond<WG1900> Babylon<WG897>.


btext:
Our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> had<WG2258> the tabernacle<WG4633> of witness<WG3142><WG1722> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>, as<WG2531> he had appointed<WG1299>, speaking<WG2980> unto Moses<WG3475>, that he should make<WG4160> it<WG846> according<WG2596> to the fashion<WG5179> that<WG3739> he had seen<WG3708>. / speaking: or, who spake

Howbeit<WG235> the most High<WG5310> dwelleth<WG2730> not<WG3756> in<WG1722> temples<WG3485> made with hands<WG5499>; as<WG2531> saith<WG3004> the prophet<WG4396>,

Heaven<WG3772> is my<WG3427> throne<WG2362>, and<WG1161> earth<WG1093> is my<WG3450> footstool<WG4228><WG5286>: what<WG4169> house<WG3624> will ye build<WG3618> me<WG3427>? saith<WG3004> the Lord<WG2962>: or<WG2228> what<WG5101> is the place<WG5117> of my<WG3450> rest<WG2663>?

Ye stiffnecked<WG4644> and<WG2532> uncircumcised<WG564> in heart<WG2588> and<WG2532> ears<WG3775>, ye<WG5210> do<WG496> always<WG104> resist<WG496> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>: as<WG5613> your<WG5216> fathers<WG3962> did, so<WG2532> do ye<WG5210>.


btext:
Which<WG5101> of the prophets<WG4396> have<WG1377> not<WG3756> your<WG5216> fathers<WG3962> persecuted<WG1377>? and<WG2532> they have slain<WG615> them which<WG3588> shewed before<WG4293> of<WG4012> the coming<WG1660> of the Just One<WG1342>; of whom<WG3739> ye<WG5210> have been<WG1096> now<WG3568> the betrayers<WG4273> and<WG2532> murderers<WG5406>:

Who<WG3748> have received<WG2983> the law<WG3551> by<WG1519> the disposition<WG1296> of angels<WG32>, and<WG2532> have<WG5442> not<WG3756> kept<WG5442> it.


btext:
When<WG1161> they heard<WG191> these things<WG5023>, they were cut<WG1282> to the heart<WG2588><WG846>, and<WG2532> they gnashed<WG1031> on<WG1909> him<WG846> with their teeth<WG3599>.


btext:
But<WG1161> he, being<WG5225> full<WG4134> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, looked up stedfastly<WG816> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>, and saw<WG1492> the glory<WG1391> of God<WG2316>, and<WG2532> Jesus<WG2424> standing<WG2476> on<WG1537> the right hand<WG1188> of God<WG2316>,


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Behold<WG2400>, I see<WG2334> the heavens<WG3772> opened<WG455>, and<WG2532> the Son<WG5207> of man<WG444> standing<WG2476> on<WG1537> the right hand<WG1188> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> they cried out<WG2896> with a loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, and stopped<WG4912> their<WG846> ears<WG3775>, and<WG2532> ran<WG3729> upon<WG1909> him<WG846> with one accord<WG3661>,


btext:
And<WG2532> cast<WG1544> him out of<WG1854> the city<WG4172>, and stoned<WG3036> him: and<WG2532> the witnesses<WG3144> laid down<WG659> their<WG846> clothes<WG2440> at<WG3844> a young man's<WG3494> feet<WG4228>, whose name was<WG2564> Saul<WG4569>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they stoned<WG3036> Stephen<WG4736>, calling upon<WG1941> God, and<WG2532> saying<WG3004>, Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>, receive<WG1209> my<WG3450> spirit<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he kneeled down<WG5087><WG1119>, and cried<WG2896> with a loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, Lord<WG2962>, lay<WG2476> not<WG3361> this<WG5026> sin<WG266> to their<WG846> charge. And<WG2532> when he had said<WG2036> this<WG5124>, he fell asleep<WG2837>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Saul<WG4569> was<WG2258> consenting<WG4909> unto his<WG846> death<WG336>. And<WG1161> at<WG1722> that<WG1565> time<WG2250> there was<WG1096> a great<WG3173> persecution<WG1375> against<WG1909> the church<WG1577> which<WG3588> was at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414>; and<WG5037> they were<WG1289> all<WG3956> scattered abroad<WG1289> throughout<WG2596> the regions<WG5561> of Judaea<WG2449> and<WG2532> Samaria<WG4540>, except<WG4133> the apostles<WG652>.


btext:
And<WG1161> devout<WG2126> men<WG435> carried<WG4792> Stephen<WG4736> to his burial, and<WG2532> made<WG4160> great<WG3173> lamentation<WG2870> over<WG1909> him<WG846>.


btext:
As<WG1161> for Saul<WG4569>, he made havock<WG3075> of the church<WG1577>, entering into<WG1531> every<WG2596> house<WG3624>, and haling<WG4951><WG5037> men<WG435> and<WG2532> women<WG1135> committed<WG3860> them to<WG1519> prison<WG5438>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767><WG3303> they that were scattered abroad<WG1289> went every where<WG1330> preaching<WG2097> the word<WG3056>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> went down<WG2718> to<WG1519> the city<WG4172> of Samaria<WG4540>, and preached<WG2784> Christ<WG5547> unto them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG5037> the people<WG3793> with one accord<WG3661> gave heed<WG4337> unto those things which Philip<WG5376> spake<WG3004><WG5259>, hearing<WG1722><WG191><WG846> and<WG2532> seeing<WG991> the miracles<WG4592> which<WG3739> he did<WG4160>.


btext:
For<WG1063> unclean<WG169> spirits<WG4151>, crying<WG994> with loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, came out<WG1831> of many<WG4183> that were possessed<WG2192> with them: and<WG1161> many<WG4183> taken with palsies<WG3886>, and<WG2532> that were lame<WG5560>, were healed<WG2323>.


btext:
But<WG1161> there was a certain<WG5100> man<WG435>, called<WG3686> Simon<WG4613>, which beforetime<WG4391> in<WG1722> the same city<WG4172> used sorcery<WG3096>, and<WG2532> bewitched<WG1839> the people<WG1484> of Samaria<WG4540>, giving out<WG3004> that himself<WG1438> was<WG1511> some<WG5100> great one<WG3173>:


btext:
To whom<WG3739> they all<WG3956> gave heed<WG4337>, from<WG575> the least<WG3398> to<WG2193> the greatest<WG3173>, saying<WG3004>, This man<WG3778> is<WG2076> the great<WG3173> power<WG1411> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG1161> to him<WG846> they had regard<WG4337>, because<WG1223> that of long<WG2425> time<WG5550> he had bewitched<WG1839> them<WG846> with sorceries<WG3095>.

But<WG1161> when<WG3753> they believed<WG4100> Philip<WG5376> preaching<WG2097> the things concerning<WG4012> the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>, and<WG2532> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547>, they were baptized<WG907>, both<WG5037> men<WG435> and<WG2532> women<WG1135>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Simon<WG4613> himself<WG846> believed<WG4100> also<WG2532>: and<WG2532> when he was baptized<WG907>, he continued<WG2258><WG4342> with Philip<WG5376>, and<WG5037> wondered<WG1839>, beholding<WG2334> the miracles<WG1411> and<WG2532> signs<WG4592><WG3173> which were done<WG1096><WG1096>. / miracles…: Gr. signs and great miracles


btext:
Now<WG1161> when the apostles<WG652> which<WG3588> were at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414> heard<WG191> that<WG3754> Samaria<WG4540> had received<WG1209> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316>, they sent<WG649> unto<WG4314> them<WG846> Peter<WG4074> and<WG2532> John<WG2491>:


btext:
Who<WG3748>, when they were come down<WG2597>, prayed<WG4336> for<WG4012> them<WG846>, that<WG3704> they might receive<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>:


btext:
(For<WG1063> as yet<WG3768> he was<WG2258> fallen<WG1968> upon<WG1909> none<WG3762> of them<WG846>: only<WG3440><WG1161> they were<WG5225> baptized<WG907> in<WG1519> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>.)


btext:
Then<WG5119> laid they<WG2007> their hands<WG5495> on<WG1909> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> they received<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when Simon<WG4613> saw<WG2300> that<WG3754> through<WG1223> laying on<WG1936> of the apostles'<WG652> hands<WG5495> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> was given<WG1325>, he offered<WG4374> them<WG846> money<WG5536>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004>, Give<WG1325> me also<WG2504> this<WG5026> power<WG1849>, that<WG2443> on<WG2007> whomsoever<WG3739><WG1437> I lay<WG2007> hands<WG5495>, he may receive<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Thy<WG4675> money<WG694> perish<WG1498><WG1519><WG684> with<WG4862> thee<WG4671>, because<WG3754> thou hast thought<WG3543> that the gift<WG1431> of God<WG2316> may be purchased<WG2932> with<WG1223> money<WG5536>.


btext:
Thou<WG4671> hast<WG2076> neither<WG3756> part<WG3310> nor<WG3761> lot<WG2819> in<WG1722> this<WG5129> matter<WG3056>: for<WG1063> thy<WG4675> heart<WG2588> is<WG2076> not<WG3756> right<WG2117> in the sight<WG1799> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
Repent<WG3340> therefore<WG3767> of<WG575> this<WG5026> thy<WG4675> wickedness<WG2549>, and<WG2532> pray<WG1189> God<WG2316>, if<WG1487> perhaps<WG686> the thought<WG1963> of thine<WG4675> heart<WG2588> may be forgiven<WG863> thee<WG4671>.


btext:
For<WG1063> I perceive<WG3708> that thou<WG4571> art<WG5607> in<WG1519> the gall<WG5521> of bitterness<WG4088>, and<WG2532> in the bond<WG4886> of iniquity<WG93>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> answered<WG611> Simon<WG4613>, and said<WG2036>, Pray<WG1189> ye<WG5210> to<WG4314> the Lord<WG2962> for<WG5228> me<WG1700>, that<WG3704> none of these things<WG3367> which<WG3739> ye have spoken<WG2046> come<WG1904> upon<WG1909> me<WG1691>.


btext:
And they, when<WG3303><WG3767> they had testified<WG1263> and<WG2532> preached<WG2980> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962>, returned<WG5290> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, and<WG5037> preached the gospel<WG2097> in many<WG4183> villages<WG2968> of the Samaritans<WG4541>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the angel<WG32> of the Lord<WG2962> spake<WG2980> unto<WG4314> Philip<WG5376>, saying<WG3004>, Arise<WG450>, and<WG2532> go<WG4198> toward<WG2596> the south<WG3314> unto<WG1909> the way<WG3598> that goeth down<WG2597> from<WG575> Jerusalem<WG2419> unto<WG1519> Gaza<WG1048>, which<WG3778> is<WG2076> desert<WG2048>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he arose<WG450> and went<WG4198>: and<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, a man<WG435> of Ethiopia<WG128>, an eunuch<WG2135> of great authority<WG1413> under Candace<WG2582> queen<WG938> of the Ethiopians<WG128>, who<WG3739> had<WG2258> the charge of<WG1909> all<WG3956> her<WG846> treasure<WG1047>, and<WG3739> had come<WG2064> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419> for to worship<WG4352>,


btext:
<WG5037> Was<WG2258> returning<WG5290>, and<WG2532> sitting<WG2521> in<WG1909> his<WG846> chariot<WG716><WG2532> read<WG314> Esaias<WG2268> the prophet<WG4396>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the Spirit<WG4151> said<WG2036> unto Philip<WG5376>, Go near<WG4334>, and<WG2532> join thyself to<WG2853> this<WG5129> chariot<WG716>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> ran<WG4370> thither to him, and heard<WG191> him<WG846> read<WG314> the prophet<WG4396> Esaias<WG2268>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Understandest thou<WG687><WG1065><WG1097> what<WG3739> thou readest<WG314>?


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG2036>, How<WG1063><WG4459> can I<WG302><WG1410>, except<WG3362> some man<WG5100> should guide<WG3594> me<WG3165>? And<WG5037> he desired<WG3870> Philip<WG5376> that he would come up<WG305> and sit<WG2523> with<WG4862> him<WG846>.


btext:
<WG1161> The place<WG4042> of the scripture<WG1124> which<WG3739> he read<WG314> was<WG2258> this<WG3778>, He was led<WG71> as<WG5613> a sheep<WG4263> to<WG1909> the slaughter<WG4967>; and<WG2532> like<WG5613> a lamb<WG286> dumb<WG880> before<WG1726> his<WG846> shearer<WG2751>, so<WG3779> opened he<WG455> not<WG3756> his<WG846> mouth<WG4750>:


btext:
In<WG1722> his<WG846> humiliation<WG5014> his<WG846> judgment<WG2920> was taken away<WG142>: and<WG1161> who<WG5101> shall declare<WG1334> his<WG846> generation<WG1074>? for<WG3754> his<WG846> life<WG2222> is taken<WG142> from<WG575> the earth<WG1093>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the eunuch<WG2135> answered<WG611> Philip<WG5376>, and said<WG2036>, I pray<WG1189> thee<WG4675>, of<WG4012> whom<WG5101> speaketh<WG3004> the prophet<WG4396> this<WG5124>? of<WG4012> himself<WG1438>, or<WG2228> of<WG4012> some<WG5100> other man<WG2087>?


btext:
Then<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> opened<WG455> his<WG846> mouth<WG4750>, and<WG2532> began<WG756> at<WG575> the same<WG5026> scripture<WG1124>, and preached<WG2097> unto him<WG846> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as<WG5613> they went<WG4198> on<WG2596> their way<WG3598>, they came<WG2064> unto<WG1909> a certain<WG5100> water<WG5204>: and<WG2532> the eunuch<WG2135> said<WG5346>, See<WG2400>, here is water<WG5204>; what<WG5101> doth hinder<WG2967> me<WG3165> to be baptized<WG907>?


btext:
And<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> said<WG2036>, If<WG1487> thou believest<WG4100> with<WG1537> all thine<WG3650> heart<WG2588>, thou mayest<WG1832>. And<WG1161> he answered<WG611> and said<WG2036>, I believe<WG4100> that Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547> is<WG1511> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he commanded<WG2753> the chariot<WG716> to stand still<WG2476>: and<WG2532> they went down<WG2597> both<WG297> into<WG1519> the water<WG5204>, both<WG5037> Philip<WG5376> and<WG2532> the eunuch<WG2135>; and<WG2532> he baptized<WG907> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG3753> they were come up<WG305> out of<WG1537> the water<WG5204>, the Spirit<WG4151> of the Lord<WG2962> caught away<WG726> Philip<WG5376><WG2532>, that the eunuch<WG2135> saw<WG1492><WG3756> him<WG846> no more<WG3765>: and<WG1063> he went<WG4198> on his<WG846> way<WG3598> rejoicing<WG5463>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Philip<WG5376> was found<WG2147> at<WG1519> Azotus<WG108>: and<WG2532> passing<WG1330> through he preached<WG2097> in all<WG3956> the cities<WG4172>, till<WG2193> he<WG846> came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Caesarea<WG2542>.

And<WG1161> Saul<WG4569>, yet<WG2089> breathing out<WG1709> threatenings<WG547> and<WG2532> slaughter<WG5408> against<WG1519> the disciples<WG3101> of the Lord<WG2962>, went<WG4334> unto the high priest<WG749>,


btext:
And desired<WG154> of<WG3844> him<WG846> letters<WG1992> to<WG1519> Damascus<WG1154> to<WG4314> the synagogues<WG4864>, that<WG3704> if<WG1437> he found<WG2147> any<WG5100> of this way<WG3598>, whether<WG5037> they were<WG5607> men<WG435> or<WG2532> women<WG1135>, he might bring them<WG71> bound<WG1210> unto<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>. / of this way: Gr. of the way


btext:
And<WG1161> as he<WG846> journeyed<WG4198><WG1722>, he came<WG1096> near<WG1448> Damascus<WG1154>: and<WG2532> suddenly<WG1810> there shined round about<WG4015> him<WG846> a light<WG5457> from<WG575> heaven<WG3772>:


btext:
And<WG2532> he fell<WG4098> to<WG1909> the earth<WG1093>, and heard<WG191> a voice<WG5456> saying<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Saul<WG4549>, Saul<WG4549>, why<WG5101> persecutest thou<WG1377> me<WG3165>?


btext:
And<WG1161> he said<WG2036>, Who<WG5101> art thou<WG1488>, Lord<WG2962>? And<WG1161> the Lord<WG2962> said<WG2036>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> Jesus<WG2424> whom<WG3739> thou<WG4771> persecutest<WG1377>: it is hard<WG4642> for thee<WG4671> to kick<WG2979> against<WG4314> the pricks<WG2759>.


btext:
And<WG5037> he trembling<WG5141> and<WG2532> astonished<WG2284> said<WG2036>, Lord<WG2962>, what<WG5101> wilt thou have<WG2309> me<WG3165> to do<WG4160>? And<WG2532> the Lord<WG2962> said unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Arise<WG450>, and<WG2532> go<WG1525> into<WG1519> the city<WG4172>, and<WG2532> it shall be told<WG2980> thee<WG4671> what<WG5101> thou<WG4571> must<WG1163> do<WG4160>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the men<WG435> which<WG3588> journeyed<WG4922> with him<WG846> stood<WG2476> speechless<WG1769>, hearing<WG191><WG3303> a voice<WG5456>, but<WG1161> seeing<WG2334> no man<WG3367>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Saul<WG4569> arose<WG1453> from<WG575> the earth<WG1093>; and<WG1161> when his<WG846> eyes<WG3788> were opened<WG455>, he saw<WG991> no man<WG3762>: but<WG1161> they led<WG5496> him<WG846> by the hand<WG5496>, and brought<WG1521> him into<WG1519> Damascus<WG1154>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he was<WG2258> three<WG5140> days<WG2250> without<WG3361> sight<WG991>, and<WG2532> neither<WG3756> did eat<WG5315> nor<WG3761> drink<WG4095>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there was<WG2258> a certain<WG5100> disciple<WG3101> at<WG1722> Damascus<WG1154>, named<WG3686> Ananias<WG367>; and<WG2532> to<WG4314> him<WG846> said<WG2036> the Lord<WG2962> in<WG1722> a vision<WG3705>, Ananias<WG367>.

btext:
And<WG1161> the Lord<WG2962> said unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Arise<WG450>, and go<WG4198> into<WG1909> the street<WG4505> which<WG3588> is called<WG2564> Straight<WG2117>, and<WG2532> enquire<WG2212> in<WG1722> the house<WG3614> of Judas<WG2455> for one called<WG3686> Saul<WG4569>, of Tarsus<WG5018>: for<WG1063>, behold<WG2400>, he prayeth<WG4336>,

btext:
Then<WG1161> Ananias<WG367> answered<WG611>, Lord<WG2962>, I have heard<WG191> by<WG575> many<WG4183> of<WG4012> this<WG5127> man<WG435>, how much<WG3745> evil<WG2556> he hath done<WG4160> to thy<WG4675> saints<WG40> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>:

But<WG1161> the Lord<WG2962> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Go thy way<WG4198>: for<WG3754> he<WG3778> is<WG2076> a chosen<WG1589> vessel<WG4632> unto me<WG3427>, to bear<WG941> my<WG3450> name<WG3686> before<WG1799> the Gentiles<WG1484>, and<WG2532> kings<WG935>, and<WG5037> the children<WG5207> of Israel<WG2474>:

For<WG1063> I<WG1473> will shew<WG5263> him<WG846> how great things<WG3745> he<WG846> must<WG1163> suffer<WG3958> for<WG5228> my<WG3450> name's sake<WG3686><WG5228>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Ananias<WG367> went his way<WG565>, and<WG2532> entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the house<WG3614>; and<WG2532> putting<WG2007> his hands<WG5495> on<WG1909> him<WG846> said<WG2036>, Brother<WG80> Saul<WG4549>, the Lord<WG2962>, even Jesus<WG2424>, that appeared<WG3700> unto thee<WG4671> in<WG1722> the way<WG3598> as<WG3739> thou camest<WG2064>, hath sent<WG649> me<WG3165>, that<WG3704> thou mightest receive thy sight<WG308>, and<WG2532> be filled with<WG4130> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG2532> immediately<WG2112> there fell<WG634> from<WG575> his<WG846> eyes<WG3788> as<WG5616> it had been scales<WG3013>: and he received sight<WG308> forthwith<WG3916>, and<WG5037> arose<WG450>, and<WG2532> was baptized<WG907>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had received<WG2983> meat<WG5160>, he was strengthened<WG1765>. Then<WG1161> was<WG1096> Saul<WG4569> certain<WG5100> days<WG2250> with<WG3326> the disciples<WG3101> which were at<WG1722> Damascus<WG1154>.


btext:
And<WG2532> straightway<WG2112> he preached<WG2784> Christ<WG5547> in<WG1722> the synagogues<WG4864>, that<WG3754> he<WG3778> is<WG2076> the Son<WG5207> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
But<WG1161> all<WG3956> that heard<WG191> him were amazed<WG1839>, and<WG2532> said<WG3004>; Is<WG2076> not<WG3756> this<WG3778> he that destroyed<WG4199> them which<WG3588> called on<WG1941> this<WG5124> name<WG3686> in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>, and<WG2532> came<WG2064> hither<WG5602> for<WG1519> that<WG5124> intent<WG1519>, that<WG2443> he might bring<WG71> them<WG846> bound<WG1210> unto<WG1909> the chief priests<WG749>?


btext:
But<WG1161> Saul<WG4569> increased<WG1743> the more<WG3123> in strength<WG1743>, and<WG2532> confounded<WG4797> the Jews<WG2453> which<WG3588> dwelt<WG2730> at<WG1722> Damascus<WG1154>, proving<WG4822> that<WG3754> this<WG3778> is<WG2076> very Christ<WG5547>.


btext:
And<WG1161> after<WG5613> that many<WG2425> days<WG2250> were fulfilled<WG4137>, the Jews<WG2453> took counsel<WG4823> to kill<WG337> him<WG846>:


btext:
But<WG1161> their<WG846> laying await<WG1917> was known<WG1097> of Saul<WG4569>. And<WG5037> they watched<WG3906> the gates<WG4439> day<WG2250> and<WG2532> night<WG3571> to<WG3704> kill<WG337> him<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the disciples<WG3101> took<WG2983> him<WG846> by night<WG3571>, and let him down<WG2524><WG5465> by<WG1223> the wall<WG5038> in<WG1722> a basket<WG4711>.

And<WG1161> when Saul<WG4569> was come<WG3854> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, he assayed<WG3987> to join himself<WG2853> to the disciples<WG3101>: but<WG2532> they were<WG5399> all<WG3956> afraid<WG5399> of him<WG846>, and believed<WG4100> not<WG3361> that<WG3754> he was<WG2076> a disciple<WG3101>.

But<WG1161> Barnabas<WG921> took<WG1949> him<WG846>, and brought<WG71> him to<WG4314> the apostles<WG652>, and<WG2532> declared<WG1334> unto them<WG846> how<WG4459> he had seen<WG1492> the Lord<WG2962> in<WG1722> the way<WG3598>, and<WG2532> that<WG3754> he had spoken<WG2980> to him<WG846>, and<WG2532> how<WG4459> he had preached boldly<WG3955> at<WG1722> Damascus<WG1154> in<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424>.

And<WG2532> he was<WG2258> with<WG3326> them<WG846> coming in<WG1531> and<WG2532> going out<WG1607> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he spake<WG2980> boldly<WG3955> in<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG5037><WG2532> disputed<WG4802> against<WG4314> the Grecians<WG1675>: but<WG1161> they went about<WG2021> to slay<WG337> him<WG846>.


btext:
Which when<WG1161> the brethren<WG80> knew<WG1921>, they brought<WG2609> him<WG846> down<WG2609> to<WG1519> Caesarea<WG2542>, and<WG2532> sent<WG1821> him<WG846> forth<WG1821> to<WG1519> Tarsus<WG5019>.


btext:
Then<WG3303><WG3767> had<WG2192> the churches<WG1577> rest<WG1515> throughout<WG2596> all<WG3650> Judaea<WG2449> and<WG2532> Galilee<WG1056> and<WG2532> Samaria<WG4540>, and were edified<WG3618>; and<WG2532> walking in<WG4198> the fear<WG5401> of the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> in the comfort<WG3874> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, were multiplied<WG4129>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it came<WG1096> to pass, as<WG1330> Peter<WG4074> passed throughout<WG1330><WG1223> all<WG3956> quarters, he came down<WG2718> also<WG2532> to<WG4314> the saints<WG40> which<WG3588> dwelt<WG2730> at Lydda<WG3069>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there<WG1563> he found<WG2147> a certain<WG5100> man<WG444> named<WG3686> Aeneas<WG132>, which had kept<WG2621><WG1909> his bed<WG2895><WG1537> eight<WG3638> years<WG2094>, and<WG3739> was<WG2258> sick of the palsy<WG3886>.


btext:
And<WG2532> Peter<WG4074> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Aeneas<WG132>, Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547> maketh<WG2390> thee<WG4571> whole<WG2390>: arise<WG450>, and<WG2532> make<WG4766> thy<WG4572> bed<WG4766>. And<WG2532> he arose<WG450> immediately<WG2112>.


btext:
And<WG2532> all<WG3956> that dwelt<WG2730> at Lydda<WG3069> and<WG2532> Saron<WG4565> saw<WG1492> him<WG846>, and<WG3748> turned<WG1994> to<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> there was<WG2258> at<WG1722> Joppa<WG2445> a certain<WG5100> disciple<WG3102> named<WG3686> Tabitha<WG5000>, which<WG3739> by interpretation<WG1329> is called<WG3004> Dorcas<WG1393>: this woman<WG3778><WG846> was<WG2258> full<WG4134> of good<WG18> works<WG2041> and<WG2532> almsdeeds<WG1654> which<WG3739> she did<WG4160>. / Dorcas: or, Doe, or, Roe


btext:
And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096> in<WG1722> those<WG1565> days<WG2250>, that she was sick<WG770>, and died<WG599>: whom when<WG1161> they<WG846> had washed<WG3068><WG846>, they laid<WG5087> her in<WG1722> an upper chamber<WG5253>.


btext:
And<WG1161> forasmuch as<WG5607> Lydda<WG3069> was nigh<WG1451> to Joppa<WG2445>, and the disciples<WG3101> had heard<WG191> that<WG3754> Peter<WG4074> was<WG2076> there<WG1722><WG846>, they sent<WG649> unto<WG4314> him<WG846> two<WG1417> men<WG435>, desiring<WG3870> him that he would<WG3635> not<WG3361> delay<WG3635> to come<WG1330> to<WG2193> them<WG846>. / delay: or, be grieved


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> arose<WG450> and went with<WG4905> them<WG846>. When he<WG3739> was come<WG3854>, they brought him<WG321> into<WG1519> the upper chamber<WG5253>: and<WG2532> all<WG3956> the widows<WG5503> stood by<WG3936> him<WG846> weeping<WG2799>, and<WG2532> shewing<WG1925> the coats<WG5509> and<WG2532> garments<WG2440> which<WG3745> Dorcas<WG1393> made<WG4160>, while she was<WG5607> with<WG3326> them<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> put<WG1544> them all<WG3956> forth<WG1854>, and kneeled down<WG5087><WG1119>, and prayed<WG4336>; and<WG2532> turning<WG1994> him to<WG4314> the body<WG4983> said<WG2036>, Tabitha<WG5000>, arise<WG450>. And<WG1161> she opened<WG455> her<WG846> eyes<WG3788>: and<WG2532> when she saw<WG1492> Peter<WG4074>, she sat up<WG339>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he gave<WG1325> her<WG846> his hand<WG5495>, and lifted<WG450> her<WG846> up<WG450>, and<WG1161> when he had called<WG5455> the saints<WG40> and<WG2532> widows<WG5503>, presented<WG3936> her<WG846> alive<WG2198>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it was<WG1096> known<WG1110> throughout<WG2596> all<WG3650> Joppa<WG2445>; and<WG2532> many<WG4183> believed<WG4100> in<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096>, that he<WG846> tarried<WG3306> many<WG2425> days<WG2250> in<WG1722> Joppa<WG2445> with<WG3844> one<WG5100> Simon<WG4613> a tanner<WG1038>.


btext:
<WG1161> There was<WG2258> a certain<WG5100> man<WG435> in<WG1722> Caesarea<WG2542> called<WG3686> Cornelius<WG2883>, a centurion<WG1543> of<WG1537> the band<WG4686> called<WG2564> the Italian<WG2483> band,


btext:
A devout<WG2152> man, and<WG2532> one that feared<WG5399> God<WG2316> with<WG4862> all<WG3956> his<WG846> house<WG3624>, which<WG5037> gave<WG4160> much<WG4183> alms<WG1654> to the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> prayed<WG1189> to God<WG2316> alway<WG1275>.


btext:
He saw<WG1492> in<WG1722> a vision<WG3705> evidently<WG5320> about<WG5616> the ninth<WG1766> hour<WG5610> of the day<WG2250> an angel<WG32> of God<WG2316> coming in<WG1525> to<WG4314> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> saying<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Cornelius<WG2883>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when he looked<WG816> on him<WG846>, he was<WG1096> afraid<WG1719>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, What<WG5101> is it<WG2076>, Lord<WG2962>? And<WG1161> he said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Thy<WG4675> prayers<WG4335> and<WG2532> thine<WG4675> alms<WG1654> are come up<WG305> for<WG1519> a memorial<WG3422> before<WG1799> God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG2532> now<WG3568> send<WG3992> men<WG435> to<WG1519> Joppa<WG2445>, and<WG2532> call for<WG3343> one Simon<WG4613>, whose<WG3739> surname is<WG1941> Peter<WG4074>:


btext:
He<WG3778> lodgeth<WG3579> with<WG3844> one<WG5100> Simon<WG4613> a tanner<WG1038>, whose<WG3739> house<WG3614> is<WG2076> by<WG3844> the sea side<WG2281>: he<WG3778> shall tell<WG2980> thee<WG4671> what<WG5101> thou<WG4571> oughtest<WG1163> to do<WG4160>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> the angel<WG32> which<WG3588> spake<WG2980> unto Cornelius<WG2883> was departed<WG565>, he called<WG5455> two<WG1417> of his<WG846> household servants<WG3610>, and<WG2532> a devout<WG2152> soldier<WG4757> of them that waited on<WG4342> him<WG846> continually<WG4342>;


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had declared<WG1834> all these things<WG537> unto them<WG846>, he sent<WG649> them<WG846> to<WG1519> Joppa<WG2445>.


btext:
<WG1161> On the morrow<WG1887>, as they<WG1565> went on their journey<WG3596>, and<WG2532> drew nigh<WG1448> unto the city<WG4172>, Peter<WG4074> went up<WG305> upon<WG1909> the housetop<WG1430> to pray<WG4336> about<WG4012> the sixth<WG1623> hour<WG5610>:


btext:
And<WG1161> he became<WG1096> very hungry<WG4361>, and<WG2532> would<WG2309> have eaten<WG1089>: but<WG1161> while they<WG1565> made ready<WG3903>, he<WG846> fell<WG1968> into<WG1909> a trance<WG1611>,


btext:
And<WG2532> saw<WG2334> heaven<WG3772> opened<WG455>, and<WG2532> a certain<WG5100> vessel<WG4632> descending<WG2597> unto<WG1909> him<WG846>, as<WG5613> it had been a great<WG3173> sheet<WG3607> knit<WG1210> at the four<WG5064> corners<WG746>, and<WG2532> let down<WG2524> to<WG1909> the earth<WG1093>:


btext:
Wherein<WG1722><WG3739> were<WG5225> all manner<WG3956> of fourfooted beasts<WG5074> of the earth<WG1093>, and<WG2532> wild beasts<WG2342>, and<WG2532> creeping things<WG2062>, and<WG2532> fowls<WG4071> of the air<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG2532> there came<WG1096> a voice<WG5456> to<WG4314> him<WG846>, Rise<WG450>, Peter<WG4074>; kill<WG2380>, and<WG2532> eat<WG5315>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> said<WG2036>, Not so<WG3365>, Lord<WG2962>; for<WG3754> I have<WG5315> never<WG3763> eaten<WG5315> any thing<WG3956> that is common<WG2839> or<WG2228> unclean<WG169>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the voice<WG5456> spake unto<WG4314> him<WG846> again<WG3825><WG1537> the second time<WG1208>, What<WG3739> God<WG2316> hath cleansed<WG2511>, that call<WG2840> not<WG3361> thou<WG4771> common<WG2840>.


btext:
<WG1161> This<WG5124> was done<WG1096> thrice<WG1909><WG5151>: and<WG2532> the vessel<WG4632> was received up<WG353> again<WG3825> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> while<WG5613> Peter<WG4074> doubted<WG1280> in<WG1722> himself<WG1438> what<WG5101> this vision<WG3705> which<WG3739> he had seen<WG1492> should mean<WG302><WG1498>, behold<WG2400><WG2532>, the men<WG435> which<WG3588> were sent<WG649> from<WG575> Cornelius<WG2883> had made enquiry<WG1331> for Simon's<WG4613> house<WG3614>, and stood<WG2186> before<WG1909> the gate<WG4440>,


btext:
And<WG2532> called<WG5455>, and asked<WG4441> whether<WG1487> Simon<WG4613>, which<WG3588> was surnamed<WG1941> Peter<WG4074>, were lodged<WG3579> there<WG1759>.


btext:
While<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> thought<WG1760> on<WG4012> the vision<WG3705>, the Spirit<WG4151> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Behold<WG2400>, three<WG5140> men<WG435> seek<WG2212> thee<WG4571>.


btext:
Arise<WG450> therefore<WG235>, and get thee down<WG2597>, and<WG2532> go<WG4198> with<WG4862> them<WG846>, doubting<WG1252> nothing<WG3367>: for<WG1360> I<WG1473> have sent<WG649> them<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> went down<WG2597> to<WG4314> the men<WG435> which<WG3588> were sent<WG649> unto<WG4314> him<WG846> from<WG575> Cornelius<WG2883>; and said<WG2036>, Behold<WG2400>, I<WG1473> am<WG1510> he whom<WG3739> ye seek<WG2212>: what<WG5101> is the cause<WG156> wherefore<WG1223><WG3739> ye are come<WG3918>?


btext:
And<WG1161> they said<WG2036>, Cornelius<WG2883> the centurion<WG1543>, a just<WG1342> man<WG435>, and<WG2532> one that feareth<WG5399> God<WG2316>, and<WG5037> of good report<WG3140> among<WG5259> all<WG3650> the nation<WG1484> of the Jews<WG2453>, was warned from God<WG5537> by<WG5259> an holy<WG40> angel<WG32> to send<WG3343> for thee<WG4571> into<WG1519> his<WG846> house<WG3624>, and<WG2532> to hear<WG191> words<WG4487> of<WG3844> thee<WG4675>.


btext:
Then<WG3767> called he<WG1528> them<WG846> in<WG1528>, and lodged<WG3579> them. And<WG1161> on the morrow<WG1887> Peter<WG4074> went away<WG1831> with<WG4862> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> certain<WG5100> brethren<WG80> from<WG575> Joppa<WG2445> accompanied<WG4905> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the morrow<WG1887> after they entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> Caesarea<WG2542>. And<WG1161> Cornelius<WG2883> waited for<WG4328> them<WG846><WG2258>, and had called together<WG4779> his<WG846> kinsmen<WG4773> and<WG2532> near<WG316> friends<WG5384>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as<WG5613> Peter<WG4074> was<WG1096> coming in<WG1525>, Cornelius<WG2883> met<WG4876> him<WG846>, and fell down<WG4098> at<WG1909> his feet<WG4228>, and worshipped<WG4352> him.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> took<WG1453> him<WG846> up<WG1453>, saying<WG3004>, Stand up<WG450>; I<WG2504> myself<WG846> also<WG2504> am<WG1510> a man<WG444>.


btext:
And<WG2532> as he talked<WG4926> with him<WG846>, he went in<WG1525>, and<WG2532> found<WG2147> many<WG4183> that were come together<WG4905>.


btext:
And<WG5037> he said<WG5346> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Ye<WG5210> know<WG1987> how<WG5613> that it is<WG2076> an unlawful thing<WG111> for a man<WG435> that is a Jew<WG2453> to keep company<WG2853>, or<WG2228> come unto<WG4334> one of another nation<WG246>; but<WG2532> God<WG2316> hath shewed<WG1166> me<WG1698> that I should not<WG3367> call<WG3004> any<WG3367> man<WG444> common<WG2839> or<WG2228> unclean<WG169>.


btext:
Therefore<WG1352><WG2532> came I<WG2064> unto you without gainsaying<WG369>, as soon as I was sent for<WG3343>: I ask<WG4441> therefore<WG3767> for what<WG5101> intent<WG3056> ye have sent for<WG3343> me<WG3165>?


btext:
And<WG2532> Cornelius<WG2883> said<WG5346>, Four<WG5067> days<WG2250> ago<WG575> I was<WG2252> fasting<WG3522> until<WG3360> this<WG5026> hour<WG5610>; and<WG2532> at the ninth<WG1766> hour<WG5610> I prayed<WG4336> in<WG1722> my<WG3450> house<WG3624>, and<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, a man<WG435> stood<WG2476> before<WG1799> me<WG3450> in<WG1722> bright<WG2986> clothing<WG2066>,


btext:
And<WG2532> said<WG5346>, Cornelius<WG2883>, thy<WG4675> prayer<WG4335> is heard<WG1522>, and<WG2532> thine<WG4675> alms<WG1654> are had in remembrance<WG3415> in the sight<WG1799> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
Send<WG3992> therefore<WG3767> to<WG1519> Joppa<WG2445>, and<WG2532> call hither<WG3333> Simon<WG4613>, whose<WG3739> surname is<WG1941> Peter<WG4074>; he<WG3778> is lodged<WG3579> in<WG1722> the house<WG3614> of one Simon<WG4613> a tanner<WG1038> by<WG3844> the sea side<WG2281>: who<WG3739>, when he cometh<WG3854>, shall speak<WG2980> unto thee<WG4671>.


btext:
Immediately<WG1824> therefore<WG3767> I sent<WG3992> to<WG4314> thee<WG4571>; and<WG5037> thou<WG4771> hast well<WG2573> done<WG4160> that thou art come<WG3854>. Now<WG3568> therefore<WG3767> are<WG3918> we<WG2249> all<WG3956> here present<WG3918> before<WG1799> God<WG2316>, to hear<WG191> all things<WG3956> that are commanded<WG4367> thee<WG4671> of<WG5259> God<WG2316>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> opened<WG455> his mouth<WG4750>, and said<WG2036>, Of<WG1909> a truth<WG225> I perceive<WG2638> that<WG3754> God<WG2316> is<WG2076> no<WG3756> respecter of persons<WG4381>:


btext:
But<WG235> in<WG1722> every<WG3956> nation<WG1484> he that feareth<WG5399> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> worketh<WG2038> righteousness<WG1343>, is<WG2076> accepted<WG1184> with him<WG846>.


btext:
The word<WG3056> which<WG3739> God sent<WG649> unto the children<WG5207> of Israel<WG2474>, preaching<WG2097> peace<WG1515> by<WG1223> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547>: (he<WG3778> is<WG2076> Lord<WG2962> of all<WG3956>:)


btext:
That word<WG4487>, I say, ye<WG5210> know<WG1492>, which was published<WG1096> throughout<WG2596> all<WG3650> Judaea<WG2449>, and began<WG756> from<WG575> Galilee<WG1056>, after<WG3326> the baptism<WG908> which<WG3739> John<WG2491> preached<WG2784>;


btext:
How<WG5613> God<WG2316> anointed<WG5548> Jesus<WG2424> of<WG575> Nazareth<WG3478> with the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> and<WG2532> with power<WG1411>: who<WG846><WG3739> went about<WG1330> doing good<WG2109>, and<WG2532> healing<WG2390> all<WG3956> that were oppressed<WG2616> of<WG5259> the devil<WG1228>; for<WG3754> God<WG2316> was<WG2258> with<WG3326> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> we<WG2249> are<WG2070> witnesses<WG3144> of all things<WG3956> which<WG3739> he did<WG4160> both<WG5037> in<WG1722> the land<WG5561> of the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>; whom<WG3739> they slew<WG337> and hanged<WG2910> on<WG1909> a tree<WG3586>:

Him<WG5126> God<WG2316> raised up<WG1453> the third<WG5154> day<WG2250>, and<WG2532> shewed<WG1096> him<WG846> openly<WG1717><WG1325>;


btext:
Not<WG3756> to all<WG3956> the people<WG2992>, but<WG235> unto witnesses<WG3144> chosen before<WG4401> of<WG5259> God<WG2316>, even to us<WG2254>, who<WG3748> did eat<WG4906> and<WG2532> drink with<WG4844> him<WG846> after<WG3326> he<WG846> rose<WG450> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he commanded<WG3853> us<WG2254> to preach<WG2784> unto the people<WG2992>, and<WG2532> to testify<WG1263> that<WG3754> it is<WG2076> he<WG846> which<WG3588> was ordained<WG3724> of<WG5259> God<WG2316> to be the Judge<WG2923> of quick<WG2198> and<WG2532> dead<WG3498>.


btext:
To him<WG5129> give<WG3140> all<WG3956> the prophets<WG4396> witness<WG3140>, that through<WG1223> his<WG846> name<WG3686> whosoever<WG3956> believeth<WG4100> in<WG1519> him<WG846> shall receive<WG2983> remission<WG859> of sins<WG266>.


btext:
While Peter<WG4074> yet<WG2089> spake<WG2980> these<WG5023> words<WG4487>, the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> fell<WG1968> on<WG1909> all<WG3956> them which heard<WG191> the word<WG3056>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they of<WG1537> the circumcision<WG4061> which believed<WG4103> were astonished<WG1839>, as many as<WG3745> came with<WG4905> Peter<WG4074>, because<WG3754> that on<WG1909> the Gentiles<WG1484> also<WG2532> was poured out<WG1632> the gift<WG1431> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
For<WG1063> they heard<WG191> them<WG846> speak with<WG2980> tongues<WG1100>, and<WG2532> magnify<WG3170> God<WG2316>. Then<WG5119> answered<WG611> Peter<WG4074>,


btext:
Can<WG3385><WG1410> any man<WG5100> forbid<WG2967> water<WG5204>, that these<WG5128> should<WG907> not<WG3361> be baptized<WG907>, which<WG3748> have received<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> as<WG2532> well as<WG2531> we<WG2249>?


btext:
And<WG5037> he commanded<WG4367> them<WG846> to be baptized<WG907> in<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962>. Then<WG5119> prayed they<WG2065> him<WG846> to tarry<WG1961> certain<WG5100> days<WG2250>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> brethren<WG80> that were<WG5607> in<WG2596> Judaea<WG2449> heard<WG191> that<WG3754> the Gentiles<WG1484> had<WG1209> also<WG2532> received<WG1209> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when<WG3753> Peter<WG4074> was come up<WG305> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2414>, they that were of<WG1537> the circumcision<WG4061> contended<WG1252> with<WG4314> him<WG846>,


btext:
Saying<WG3004><WG3754>, Thou wentest in<WG1525> to<WG4314> men<WG435> uncircumcised<WG203><WG2192>, and<WG2532> didst eat<WG4906> with them<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> rehearsed the matter from the beginning<WG756>, and expounded<WG1620> it by order<WG2517> unto them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>,


btext:
I<WG1473> was<WG2252> in<WG1722> the city<WG4172> of Joppa<WG2445> praying<WG4336>: and<WG2532> in<WG1722> a trance<WG1611> I saw<WG1492> a vision<WG3705>, A certain<WG5100> vessel<WG4632> descend<WG2597>, as it had been<WG5613> a great<WG3173> sheet<WG3607>, let down<WG2524> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772> by four<WG5064> corners<WG746>; and<WG2532> it came<WG2064> even<WG891> to me<WG1700>:


btext:
Upon<WG1519> the which<WG3739> when I had fastened mine eyes<WG816>, I considered<WG2657>, and<WG2532> saw<WG1492> fourfooted beasts<WG5074> of the earth<WG1093>, and<WG2532> wild beasts<WG2342>, and<WG2532> creeping things<WG2062>, and<WG2532> fowls<WG4071> of the air<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG1161> I heard<WG191> a voice<WG5456> saying<WG3004> unto me<WG3427>, Arise<WG450>, Peter<WG4074>; slay<WG2380> and<WG2532> eat<WG5315>.


btext:
But<WG1161> I said<WG2036>, Not so<WG3365>, Lord<WG2962>: for<WG3754> nothing<WG3956> common<WG2839> or<WG2228> unclean<WG169> hath<WG1525> at any time<WG3763> entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> my<WG3450> mouth<WG4750>.


btext:
But<WG1161> the voice<WG5456> answered<WG611> me<WG3427> again<WG1537><WG1208> from<WG1537> heaven<WG3772>, What<WG3739> God<WG2316> hath cleansed<WG2511>, that call<WG2840> not<WG3361> thou<WG4771> common<WG2840>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> was done<WG1096><WG1909> three times<WG5151>: and<WG2532> all<WG537> were drawn up<WG385> again<WG3825> into<WG1519> heaven<WG3772>.


btext:
And<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, immediately<WG1824> there were<WG2186> three<WG5140> men<WG435> already<WG1824> come<WG2186> unto<WG1909> the house<WG3614> where<WG1722><WG3739><WG3739> I was<WG2252>, sent<WG649> from<WG575> Caesarea<WG2542> unto<WG4314> me<WG3165>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the Spirit<WG4151> bade<WG2036> me<WG3427> go with<WG4905> them<WG846>, nothing<WG3367> doubting<WG1252>. Moreover<WG1161><WG2532> these<WG3778> six<WG1803> brethren<WG80> accompanied<WG4862><WG2064> me<WG1698>, and<WG2532> we entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the man's<WG435> house<WG3624>:


btext:
And<WG5037> he shewed<WG518> us<WG2254> how<WG4459> he had seen<WG1492> an angel<WG32> in<WG1722> his<WG846> house<WG3624>, which stood<WG2476> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> unto him<WG846>, Send<WG649> men<WG435> to<WG1519> Joppa<WG2445>, and<WG2532> call for<WG3343> Simon<WG4613>, whose surname is<WG1941> Peter<WG4074>;


btext:
Who<WG3739> shall tell<WG2980> thee<WG4314><WG4571> words<WG4487>, whereby<WG1722><WG3739> thou<WG4771> and<WG2532> all<WG3956> thy<WG4675> house<WG3624> shall be saved<WG4982>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as<WG1722> I<WG3165> began<WG756> to speak<WG2980>, the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> fell<WG1968> on<WG1909> them<WG846>, as<WG5618><WG2532> on<WG1909> us<WG2248> at<WG1722> the beginning<WG746>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> remembered I<WG3415> the word<WG4487> of the Lord<WG2962>, how<WG5613> that he said<WG3004>, John<WG2491> indeed<WG3303> baptized<WG907> with water<WG5204>; but<WG1161> ye<WG5210> shall be baptized<WG907> with<WG1722> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
Forasmuch<WG1487> then<WG3767> as<WG5613> God<WG2316> gave<WG1325> them<WG846> the like<WG2470> gift<WG1431> as<WG2532> he did unto us<WG2254>, who believed<WG4100> on<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547><WG1161>; what<WG5101> was<WG2252> I<WG1473>, that I could<WG1415> withstand<WG2967> God<WG2316>?


btext:
When<WG1161> they heard<WG191> these things<WG5023>, they held their peace<WG2270>, and<WG2532> glorified<WG1392> God<WG2316>, saying<WG3004>, Then<WG686> hath<WG1325> God<WG2316> also<WG2534> to the Gentiles<WG1484> granted<WG1325> repentance<WG3341> unto<WG1519> life<WG2222>.


btext:
Now<WG3767><WG3303> they which were scattered abroad<WG1289> upon<WG575> the persecution<WG2347> that arose<WG1096> about<WG1909> Stephen<WG4736> travelled<WG1330> as far as<WG2193> Phenice<WG5403>, and<WG2532> Cyprus<WG2954>, and<WG2532> Antioch<WG490>, preaching<WG2980> the word<WG3056> to none<WG3367> but<WG1508> unto the Jews<WG2453> only<WG3440>.


btext:
And<WG1161> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846> were<WG2258> men<WG435> of Cyprus<WG2953> and<WG2532> Cyrene<WG2956>, which<WG3748>, when they were come<WG1525> to<WG1519> Antioch<WG490>, spake<WG2980> unto<WG4314> the Grecians<WG1675>, preaching<WG2097> the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the hand<WG5495> of the Lord<WG2962> was<WG2258> with<WG3326> them<WG846>: and<WG5037> a great<WG4183> number<WG706> believed<WG4100>, and turned<WG1994> unto<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> tidings<WG3056> of<WG4012> these things<WG846> came<WG191> unto<WG1519> the ears<WG3775> of the church<WG1577> which<WG3588> was in<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2414>: and<WG2532> they sent forth<WG1821> Barnabas<WG921>, that he should go<WG1330> as far as<WG2193> Antioch<WG490>.


btext:
Who<WG3739>, when he came<WG3854>, and<WG2532> had seen<WG1492> the grace<WG5485> of God<WG2316>, was glad<WG5463>, and<WG2532> exhorted<WG3870> them all<WG3956>, that with purpose<WG4286> of heart<WG2588> they would cleave unto<WG4357> the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
For<WG3754> he was<WG2258> a good<WG18> man<WG435>, and<WG2532> full<WG4134> of the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> and<WG2532> of faith<WG4102>: and<WG2532> much<WG2425> people<WG3793> was added<WG4369> unto the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> departed<WG1831> Barnabas<WG921> to<WG1519> Tarsus<WG5019>, for to seek<WG327> Saul<WG4569>:


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had found<WG2147> him<WG846>, he brought<WG71> him<WG846> unto<WG1519> Antioch<WG490>. And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096>, that a whole<WG3650> year<WG1763> they<WG846> assembled themselves<WG4863> with<WG1722> the church<WG1577>, and<WG2532> taught<WG1321> much<WG2425> people<WG3793>. And<WG5037> the disciples<WG3101> were called<WG5537> Christians<WG5546> first<WG4412> in<WG1722> Antioch<WG490>. / with…: or, in the church


btext:
And<WG1161> in<WG1722> these<WG5025> days<WG2250> came<WG2718> prophets<WG4396> from<WG575> Jerusalem<WG2414> unto<WG1519> Antioch<WG490>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there stood up<WG450> one<WG1520> of<WG1537> them<WG846> named<WG3686> Agabus<WG13>, and signified<WG4591> by<WG1223> the Spirit<WG4151> that there should be<WG3195><WG1510> great<WG3173> dearth<WG3042> throughout<WG1909> all<WG3650> the world<WG3625>: which<WG3748><WG2532> came to pass<WG1096> in the days of<WG1909> Claudius<WG2804> Caesar<WG2541>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the disciples<WG3101>, every<WG1538> man<WG846> according to<WG2531> his ability<WG2141><WG5100>, determined<WG3724> to send<WG3992> relief<WG1248> unto<WG1519> the brethren<WG80> which dwelt<WG2730> in<WG1722> Judaea<WG2449>:


btext:
Which<WG3739> also<WG2532> they did<WG4160>, and sent it<WG649> to<WG4314> the elders<WG4245> by<WG1223> the hands<WG5495> of Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Saul<WG4569>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> about<WG2596> that<WG1565> time<WG2540> Herod<WG2264> the king<WG935> stretched forth<WG1911> his hands<WG5495> to vex<WG2559> certain<WG5100> of<WG575> the church<WG1577>. / stretched…: or, began


btext:
And<WG1161> he killed<WG337> James<WG2385> the brother<WG80> of John<WG2491> with the sword<WG3162>.


btext:
And<WG2532> because he saw<WG1492> it<WG3754> pleased<WG2076><WG701> the Jews<WG2453>, he proceeded further<WG4369> to take<WG4815> Peter<WG4074> also<WG2532>. (Then<WG1161> were<WG2258> the days<WG2250> of unleavened bread<WG106>.)


btext:
And<WG3739><WG2532> when he had apprehended<WG4084> him, he put<WG5087> him in<WG1519> prison<WG5438>, and delivered<WG3860> him to four<WG5064> quaternions<WG5069> of soldiers<WG4757> to keep<WG5442> him<WG846>; intending<WG1014> after<WG3326> Easter<WG3957> to bring<WG321> him<WG846> forth<WG321> to the people<WG2992>. / Easter: Gr. Passover / quaternions: a file of four soldiers


btext:
Peter<WG4074><WG3303> therefore<WG3767> was kept<WG5083> in<WG1722> prison<WG5438>: but<WG1161> prayer<WG4335> was<WG2258> made<WG1096> without ceasing<WG1618> of<WG5259> the church<WG1577> unto<WG4314> God<WG2316> for<WG5228> him<WG846>. / prayer…: or, instant and earnest prayer was made


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG3753> Herod<WG2264> would<WG3195> have brought<WG4254> him<WG846> forth<WG4254>, the same<WG1565> night<WG3571> Peter<WG4074> was<WG2258> sleeping<WG2837> between<WG3342> two<WG1417> soldiers<WG4757>, bound<WG1210> with two<WG1417> chains<WG254>: and<WG5037> the keepers<WG5441> before<WG4253> the door<WG2374> kept<WG5083> the prison<WG5438>.


btext:
And<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, the angel<WG32> of the Lord<WG2962> came upon<WG2186> him, and<WG2532> a light<WG5457> shined<WG2989> in<WG1722> the prison<WG3612>: and<WG1161> he smote<WG3960> Peter<WG4074> on the side<WG4125>, and raised<WG1453> him<WG846> up<WG1453>, saying<WG3004>, Arise up<WG450> quickly<WG1722><WG5034>. And<WG2532> his<WG846> chains<WG254> fell off<WG1601> from<WG1537> his hands<WG5495>.


btext:
And<WG5037> the angel<WG32> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846>, Gird thyself<WG4024>, and<WG2532> bind on<WG5265> thy<WG4675> sandals<WG4547>. And<WG1161> so<WG3779> he did<WG4160>. And<WG2532> he saith<WG3004> unto him<WG846>, Cast<WG4016> thy garment<WG2440> about<WG4016> thee<WG4675>, and<WG2532> follow<WG190> me<WG3427>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he went out<WG1831>, and followed<WG190> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> wist<WG1492> not<WG3756> that<WG3754> it was<WG2076> true<WG227> which<WG3588> was done<WG1096> by<WG1223> the angel<WG32>; but<WG1161> thought<WG1380> he saw<WG991> a vision<WG3705>.


btext:
When<WG1161> they were past<WG1330> the first<WG4413> and<WG2532> the second<WG1208> ward<WG5438>, they came<WG2064> unto<WG1909> the iron<WG4603> gate<WG4439> that leadeth<WG5342> unto<WG1519> the city<WG4172>; which<WG3748> opened<WG455> to them<WG846> of his own accord<WG844>: and<WG2532> they went out<WG1831>, and passed on through<WG4281> one<WG3391> street<WG4505>; and<WG2532> forthwith<WG2112> the angel<WG32> departed<WG868> from<WG575> him<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when Peter<WG4074> was come<WG1096> to<WG1722> himself<WG1438>, he said<WG2036>, Now<WG3568> I know<WG1492> of a surety<WG230>, that<WG3754> the Lord<WG2962> hath sent<WG1821> his<WG846> angel<WG32>, and<WG2532> hath delivered<WG1807> me<WG3165> out of<WG1537> the hand<WG5495> of Herod<WG2264>, and<WG2532> from all<WG3956> the expectation<WG4329> of the people<WG2992> of the Jews<WG2453>.


btext:
And<WG5037> when he had considered<WG4894> the thing, he came<WG2064> to<WG1909> the house<WG3614> of Mary<WG3137> the mother<WG3384> of John<WG2491>, whose surname was<WG1941> Mark<WG3138>; where<WG3757> many<WG2425> were<WG2258> gathered together<WG4867> praying<WG2532><WG4336>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as Peter<WG4074> knocked at<WG2925> the door<WG2374> of the gate<WG4440>, a damsel<WG3814> came<WG4334> to hearken<WG5219>, named<WG3686> Rhoda<WG4498>. / to hearken: or, to ask who was there


btext:
And<WG2532> when she knew<WG1921> Peter's<WG4074> voice<WG5456>, she opened<WG455> not<WG3756> the gate<WG4440> for<WG575> gladness<WG5479>, but<WG1161> ran in<WG1532>, and told how<WG518> Peter<WG4074> stood<WG2476> before<WG4253> the gate<WG4440>.


btext:
And<WG1161> they said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> her<WG846>, Thou art mad<WG3105>. But<WG1161> she constantly affirmed<WG1340> that it was<WG2192> even so<WG3779>. Then<WG1161> said they<WG3004>, It is<WG2076> his<WG846> angel<WG32>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Peter<WG4074> continued<WG1961> knocking<WG2925>: and<WG1161> when they had opened<WG455> the door, and saw<WG1492> him<WG846><WG2532>, they were astonished<WG1839>.


btext:
But<WG1161> he, beckoning<WG2678> unto them<WG846> with the hand<WG5495> to hold their peace<WG4601>, declared<WG1334> unto them<WG846> how<WG4459> the Lord<WG2962> had brought<WG1806> him<WG846> out of<WG1537> the prison<WG5438>. And<WG1161> he said<WG2036>, Go shew<WG518> these things<WG5023> unto James<WG2385>, and<WG2532> to the brethren<WG80>. And<WG2532> he departed<WG1831>, and went<WG4198> into<WG1519> another<WG2087> place<WG5117>.

Now<WG1161> as soon as it was<WG1096> day<WG2250>, there was<WG2258> no<WG3756> small<WG3641> stir<WG5017> among<WG1722> the soldiers<WG4757>, what<WG5101><WG686> was become<WG1096> of Peter<WG4074>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG1934> Herod<WG2264> had sought for<WG1934> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> found him<WG2147> not<WG3361>, he examined<WG350> the keepers<WG5441>, and commanded<WG2753> that they should be put to death<WG520>. And<WG2532> he went down<WG2718> from<WG575> Judaea<WG2449> to<WG1519> Caesarea<WG2542>, and there abode<WG1304>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Herod<WG2264> was<WG2258> highly displeased<WG2371> with them of Tyre<WG5183> and<WG2532> Sidon<WG4606>: but<WG1161> they came<WG3918> with one accord<WG3661> to<WG4314> him<WG846>, and<WG2532>, having made<WG3982> Blastus<WG986> the king's<WG935> chamberlain<WG1909><WG2846> their friend<WG3982>, desired<WG154> peace<WG1515>; because<WG1223> their<WG846> country<WG5561> was nourished<WG5142> by<WG575> the king's<WG937> country. / was highly…: or, bare an hostile mind, intending war / the king's chamberlain: Gr. that was over the king's bedchamber


btext:
And<WG1161> upon a set<WG5002> day<WG2250> Herod<WG2264>, arrayed<WG1746> in royal<WG937> apparel<WG2066>, sat<WG2523> upon<WG1909> his throne<WG968>, and<WG2532> made an oration<WG1215> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the people<WG1218> gave a shout<WG2019>, saying, It is the voice<WG5456> of a god<WG2316>, and<WG2532> not<WG3756> of a man<WG444>.


btext:
And<WG1161> immediately<WG3916> the angel<WG32> of the Lord<WG2962> smote<WG3960> him<WG846>, because<WG473><WG3739> he gave<WG1325> not<WG3756> God<WG2316> the glory<WG1391>: and<WG2532> he was<WG1096> eaten of worms<WG4662>, and gave up the ghost<WG1634>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Saul<WG4569> returned<WG5290> from<WG1537> Jerusalem<WG2419>, when they had fulfilled<WG4137> their ministry<WG1248>, and<WG2532> took with them<WG4838> John<WG2491>, whose surname was<WG1941> Mark<WG3138>. / ministry: or, charge


btext:
Now<WG1161> there were<WG2258> in<WG2596> the church<WG1577> that was<WG5607> at<WG1722> Antioch<WG490> certain<WG5100> prophets<WG4396> and<WG2532> teachers<WG1320>; as<WG5037> Barnabas<WG921>, and<WG2532> Simeon<WG4826> that was called<WG2564> Niger<WG3526>, and<WG2532> Lucius<WG3066> of Cyrene<WG2956>, and<WG5037> Manaen<WG3127>, which had been brought up<WG4939> with Herod<WG2264> the tetrarch<WG5076>, and<WG2532> Saul<WG4569>. / which…: or, Herod's foster brother


btext:
As<WG1161> they<WG846> ministered<WG3008> to the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> fasted<WG3522>, the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> said<WG2036><WG1211>, Separate<WG873> me<WG3427><WG5037> Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Saul<WG4569> for<WG1519> the work<WG2041> whereunto<WG3739> I have called<WG4341> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG5119> when they had fasted<WG3522> and<WG2532> prayed<WG4336>, and<WG2532> laid<WG2007> their hands<WG5495> on<WG2007> them<WG846>, they sent them away<WG630>.


btext:
So<WG3303><WG3767> they<WG3778>, being sent forth<WG1599> by<WG5259> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, departed<WG2718> unto<WG1519> Seleucia<WG4581>; and from<WG1564> thence<WG5037> they sailed<WG636> to<WG1519> Cyprus<WG2954>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they were<WG1096> at<WG1722> Salamis<WG4529>, they preached<WG2605> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> in<WG1722> the synagogues<WG4864> of the Jews<WG2453>: and<WG1161> they had<WG2192> also<WG2532> John<WG2491> to their minister<WG5257>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they had gone through<WG1330> the isle<WG3520> unto<WG891> Paphos<WG3974>, they found<WG2147> a certain<WG5100> sorcerer<WG3097>, a false prophet<WG5578>, a Jew<WG2453>, whose<WG3739> name<WG3686> was Barjesus<WG919>:


btext:
Which<WG3739> was<WG2258> with<WG4862> the deputy of the country<WG446>, Sergius<WG4588> Paulus<WG3972>, a prudent<WG4908> man<WG435>; who<WG3778> called<WG4341> for Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Saul<WG4569>, and desired<WG1934> to hear<WG191> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Elymas<WG1681> the sorcerer<WG3097> (for<WG1063> so<WG3779> is his<WG846> name<WG3686> by interpretation<WG3177>) withstood<WG436> them<WG846>, seeking<WG2212> to turn away<WG1294> the deputy<WG446> from<WG575> the faith<WG4102>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Saul<WG4569>, (who<WG3588> also<WG2532> is called Paul<WG3972>,) filled with<WG4130> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151><WG2532>, set his eyes<WG816> on<WG1519> him<WG846>,


btext:
And said<WG2036>, O<WG5599> full<WG4134> of all<WG3956> subtilty<WG1388> and<WG2532> all<WG3956> mischief<WG4468>, thou child<WG5207> of the devil<WG1228>, thou enemy<WG2190> of all<WG3956> righteousness<WG1343>, wilt thou<WG3973> not<WG3756> cease<WG3973> to pervert<WG1294> the right<WG2117> ways<WG3598> of the Lord<WG2962>?


btext:
And<WG2532> now<WG3568>, behold<WG2400>, the hand<WG5495> of the Lord<WG2962> is upon<WG1909> thee<WG4571>, and<WG2532> thou shalt be<WG2071> blind<WG5185>, not<WG3361> seeing<WG991> the sun<WG2246> for<WG891> a season<WG2540>. And<WG1161> immediately<WG3916> there fell<WG1968> on<WG1909> him<WG846> a mist<WG887> and<WG2532> a darkness<WG4655>; and<WG2532> he went about<WG4013> seeking<WG2212> some to lead him by the hand<WG5497>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> the deputy<WG446>, when he saw<WG1492> what was done<WG1096>, believed<WG4100>, being astonished<WG1605> at<WG1909> the doctrine<WG1322> of the Lord<WG2962>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when Paul<WG3972> and his company<WG4012> loosed<WG321> from<WG575> Paphos<WG3974>, they came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Perga<WG4011> in Pamphylia<WG3828>: and<WG1161> John<WG2491> departing<WG672> from<WG575> them<WG846> returned<WG5290> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2414>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when they<WG846> departed<WG1330> from<WG575> Perga<WG4011>, they came<WG3854> to<WG1519> Antioch<WG490> in Pisidia<WG4099>, and<WG2532> went<WG1525> into<WG1519> the synagogue<WG4864> on the sabbath<WG4521> day<WG2250>, and sat down<WG2523>.


btext:
And<WG1161> after<WG3326> the reading<WG320> of the law<WG3551> and<WG2532> the prophets<WG4396> the rulers of the synagogue<WG752> sent<WG649> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, saying<WG3004>, Ye men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, if<WG1487> ye have<WG2076><WG1722><WG5213> any word<WG3056> of exhortation<WG3874> for<WG4314> the people<WG2992>, say on<WG3004>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> stood up<WG450>, and<WG2532> beckoning<WG2678> with his hand<WG5495> said<WG2036>, Men<WG435> of Israel<WG2475>, and<WG2532> ye that fear<WG5399> God<WG2316>, give audience<WG191>.


btext:
The God<WG2316> of this<WG5127> people<WG2992> of Israel<WG2474> chose<WG1586> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962>, and<WG2532> exalted<WG5312> the people<WG2992> when<WG1722> they dwelt as strangers<WG3940> in<WG1722> the land<WG1093> of Egypt<WG125>, and<WG2532> with<WG3326> an high<WG5308> arm<WG1023> brought he<WG1806> them<WG846> out of<WG1537> it<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG2532> about<WG5613> the time<WG5550> of forty years<WG5063> suffered he<WG5159> their<WG846> manners<WG5159> in<WG1722> the wilderness<WG2048>. / suffered…: or bore, or fed them as a nurse beareth, or feedeth, her child


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had destroyed<WG2507> seven<WG2033> nations<WG1484> in<WG1722> the land<WG1093> of Chanaan<WG5477>, he divided<WG2624> their<WG846> land<WG1093> to them<WG846> by lot<WG2624>.


btext:
And<WG2532> after<WG3326> that<WG5023> he gave<WG1325> unto them judges<WG2923> about<WG5613> the space of four hundred<WG5071> and<WG2532> fifty<WG4004> years<WG2094>, until<WG2193> Samuel<WG4545> the prophet<WG4396>.


btext:
And afterward<WG2547> they desired<WG154> a king<WG935>: and<WG2532> God<WG2316> gave<WG1325> unto them<WG846> Saul<WG4549> the son<WG5207> of Cis<WG2797>, a man<WG435> of<WG1537> the tribe<WG5443> of Benjamin<WG958>, by the space of forty<WG5062> years<WG2094>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when he had removed<WG3179> him<WG846>, he raised up<WG1453> unto them<WG846> David<WG1138> to be<WG1519> their king<WG935>; to whom<WG3739> also<WG2532> he gave testimony<WG3140>, and said<WG2036>, I have found<WG2147> David<WG1138> the son of Jesse<WG2421>, a man<WG435> after<WG2596> mine own<WG3450> heart<WG2588>, which<WG3739> shall fulfil<WG4160> all<WG3956> my<WG3450> will<WG2307>.


btext:
Of<WG575> this man's<WG5127> seed<WG4690> hath<WG1453> God<WG2316> according<WG2596> to his promise<WG1860> raised<WG1453> unto Israel<WG2474> a Saviour<WG4990>, Jesus<WG2424>:


btext:
When John<WG2491> had first preached<WG4296> before<WG4253> his<WG846> coming<WG4383><WG1529> the baptism<WG908> of repentance<WG3341> to all<WG3956> the people<WG2992> of Israel<WG2474>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as<WG5613> John<WG2491> fulfilled<WG4137> his course<WG1408>, he said<WG3004>, Whom<WG5101> think ye<WG5282> that I<WG3165> am<WG1511>? I<WG1473> am<WG1510> not<WG3756> he. But<WG235>, behold<WG2400>, there cometh one<WG2064> after<WG3326> me<WG1691>, whose<WG3739> shoes<WG5266> of his feet<WG4228> I am<WG1510> not<WG3756> worthy<WG514> to loose<WG3089>.


btext:
Men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, children<WG5207> of the stock<WG1085> of Abraham<WG11>, and<WG2532> whosoever among<WG1722> you<WG5213> feareth<WG5399> God<WG2316>, to you<WG5213> is<WG649> the word<WG3056> of this<WG5026> salvation<WG4991> sent<WG649>.


btext:
For<WG1063> they that dwell<WG2730> at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>, and<WG2532> their<WG846> rulers<WG758>, because they knew<WG50> him<WG5126> not<WG50>, nor yet<WG2532> the voices<WG5456> of the prophets<WG4396> which<WG3588> are read<WG314><WG2596> every<WG3956> sabbath day<WG4521>, they have fulfilled<WG4137> them in condemning<WG2919> him.


btext:
And<WG2532> though they found<WG2147> no<WG3367> cause<WG156> of death<WG2288> in him, yet desired they<WG154> Pilate<WG4091> that he<WG846> should be slain<WG337>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> they had fulfilled<WG5055> all<WG537> that was written<WG1125> of<WG4012> him<WG846>, they took him down<WG2507> from<WG575> the tree<WG3586>, and laid<WG5087> him in<WG1519> a sepulchre<WG3419>.


btext:
And he<WG3739> was seen<WG3700> many<WG1909><WG4119> days<WG2250> of them which came up with<WG4872> him<WG846> from<WG575> Galilee<WG1056> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, who<WG3748> are<WG1526> his<WG846> witnesses<WG3144> unto<WG4314> the people<WG2992>.

And<WG2532> we<WG2249> declare<WG2097> unto you<WG5209> glad tidings<WG2097>, how that<WG3754> the promise<WG1860> which was made<WG1096> unto<WG4314> the fathers<WG3962>,


btext:
God<WG2316> hath fulfilled<WG1603> the same<WG5026> unto us<WG2254> their<WG846> children<WG5043>, in that he hath raised up<WG450> Jesus<WG2424> again<WG450>; as<WG5613> it is<WG1125> also<WG2532> written<WG1125> in<WG1722> the second<WG1208> psalm<WG5568>, Thou<WG4771> art<WG1488> my<WG3450> Son<WG5207>, this day<WG4594> have I<WG1473> begotten<WG1080> thee<WG4571>.

And<WG1161> as concerning that<WG3754> he raised<WG450> him<WG846> up<WG450> from<WG1537> the dead<WG3498>, now no more<WG3371> to<WG3195> return<WG5290> to<WG1519> corruption<WG1312>, he said<WG2046> on this wise<WG3779><WG3754>, I will give<WG1325> you<WG5213> the sure<WG4103> mercies<WG3741> of David<WG1138>. / mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies

Wherefore<WG1352> he saith<WG3004> also<WG2532> in<WG1722> another<WG2087> psalm, Thou shalt<WG1325> not<WG3756> suffer<WG1325> thine<WG4675> Holy One<WG3741> to see<WG1492> corruption<WG1312>.


btext:
For<WG1063><WG3303> David<WG1138>, after he had served<WG5256> his own<WG2398> generation<WG1074> by the will<WG1012> of God<WG2316>, fell on sleep<WG2837>, and<WG2532> was laid<WG4369> unto<WG4314> his<WG846> fathers<WG3962>, and<WG2532> saw<WG1492> corruption<WG1312>: / after…: or, after he had in his own age served the will of God

But<WG1161> he, whom<WG3739> God<WG2316> raised again<WG1453>, saw<WG1492> no<WG3756> corruption<WG1312>.

Be it<WG2077> known<WG1110> unto you<WG5213> therefore<WG3767>, men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, that<WG3754> through<WG1223> this man<WG5127> is preached<WG2605> unto you<WG5213> the forgiveness<WG859> of sins<WG266>:

And<WG2532> by<WG1722> him<WG5129> all<WG3956> that believe<WG4100> are justified<WG1344> from<WG575> all things<WG3956>, from which<WG3739> ye could<WG1410> not<WG3756> be justified<WG1344> by<WG1722> the law<WG3551> of Moses<WG3475>.


btext:
Beware<WG991> therefore<WG3767>, lest that<WG3361> come<WG1904> upon<WG1909> you<WG5209>, which is spoken of<WG2046> in<WG1722> the prophets<WG4396>;

Behold<WG1492>, ye despisers<WG2707>, and<WG2532> wonder<WG2296>, and<WG2532> perish<WG853>: for<WG3754> I<WG1473> work<WG2038> a work<WG2041> in<WG1722> your<WG5216> days<WG2250>, a work<WG2041> which<WG3739> ye shall<WG4100> in no wise<WG3364> believe<WG4100>, though<WG1437> a man<WG5100> declare it<WG1555> unto you<WG5213>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when the Jews<WG2453> were gone<WG1826> out of<WG1537> the synagogue<WG4864>, the Gentiles<WG1484> besought<WG3870> that these<WG5023> words<WG4487> might be preached<WG2980> to them<WG846><WG1519> the next<WG3342> sabbath<WG4521>. / the next…: Gr. in the week between, or, in the sabbath between

Now<WG1161> when the congregation<WG4864> was broken up<WG3089>, many<WG4183> of the Jews<WG2453> and<WG2532> religious<WG4576> proselytes<WG4339> followed<WG190> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921>: who<WG3748>, speaking<WG4354> to them<WG846>, persuaded<WG3982> them<WG846> to continue<WG1961> in the grace<WG5485> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the next<WG2064> sabbath day<WG4521> came<WG4863> almost<WG4975> the whole<WG3956> city<WG4172> together<WG4863> to hear<WG191> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316>.

But<WG1161> when the Jews<WG2453> saw<WG1492> the multitudes<WG3793>, they were filled<WG4130> with envy<WG2205>, and<WG2532> spake against<WG483> those things which were spoken<WG3004> by<WG5259> Paul<WG3972>, contradicting<WG483> and<WG2532> blaspheming<WG987>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921> waxed bold<WG3955>, and said<WG2036>, It was<WG2258> necessary<WG316> that the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> should<WG2980> first<WG4412> have been spoken<WG2980> to you<WG5213>: but<WG1161> seeing<WG1894> ye put<WG683> it<WG846> from you<WG683>, and<WG2532> judge<WG2919> yourselves<WG1438> unworthy<WG3756><WG514> of everlasting<WG166> life<WG2222>, lo<WG2400>, we turn<WG4762> to<WG1519> the Gentiles<WG1484>.

For<WG1063> so<WG3779> hath<WG1781> the Lord<WG2962> commanded<WG1781> us<WG2254>, saying, I have set<WG5087> thee<WG4571> to be<WG1519> a light<WG5457> of the Gentiles<WG1484>, that thou<WG4571> shouldest be<WG1511> for<WG1519> salvation<WG4991> unto<WG2193> the ends<WG2078> of the earth<WG1093>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when the Gentiles<WG1484> heard this<WG191>, they were glad<WG5463>, and<WG2532> glorified<WG1392> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962>: and<WG2532> as many as<WG3745> were<WG2258> ordained<WG5021> to<WG1519> eternal<WG166> life<WG2222> believed<WG4100>.

But<WG1161> the Jews<WG2453> stirred up<WG3951> the devout<WG4576> and<WG2532> honourable<WG2158> women<WG1135>, and<WG2532> the chief men<WG4413> of the city<WG4172>, and<WG2532> raised<WG1892> persecution<WG1375> against<WG1909> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921>, and<WG2532> expelled<WG1544> them<WG846> out of<WG575> their<WG846> coasts<WG3725>.


btext:
But<WG1161> they shook off<WG1621> the dust<WG2868> of their<WG846> feet<WG4228> against<WG1909> them<WG846>, and came<WG2064> unto<WG1519> Iconium<WG2430>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the disciples<WG3101> were filled with<WG4137> joy<WG5479>, and<WG2532> with the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096> in<WG1722> Iconium<WG2430>, that they<WG846> went<WG1525> both<WG2596> together<WG846> into<WG1519> the synagogue<WG4864> of the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG2532> so<WG3779> spake<WG2980>, that<WG5620> a great<WG4183> multitude<WG4128> both<WG5037> of the Jews<WG2453> and also<WG2532> of the Greeks<WG1672> believed<WG4100>.


btext:
But<WG1161> the unbelieving<WG544> Jews<WG2453> stirred up<WG1892> the Gentiles<WG1484>, and<WG2532> made<WG2559> their minds<WG5590> evil affected<WG2559> against<WG2596> the brethren<WG80>.


btext:
Long<WG2425> time<WG5550> therefore<WG3303><WG3767> abode they<WG1304> speaking boldly<WG3955> in<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962>, which<WG3588> gave testimony<WG3140> unto the word<WG3056> of his<WG846> grace<WG5485>, and<WG2532> granted<WG1325> signs<WG4592> and<WG2532> wonders<WG5059> to be done<WG1096> by<WG1223> their<WG846> hands<WG5495>.


btext:
But<WG1161> the multitude<WG4128> of the city<WG4172> was divided<WG4977>: and<WG2532> part<WG3303> held<WG2258> with<WG4862> the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG1161> part with<WG4862> the apostles<WG652>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> there was<WG1096> an assault<WG3730> made<WG1096> both<WG5037> of the Gentiles<WG1484>, and also<WG2532> of the Jews<WG2453> with<WG4862> their<WG846> rulers<WG758>, to use them despitefully<WG5195>, and<WG2532> to stone<WG3036> them<WG846>,


btext:
They were ware<WG4894> of it, and fled<WG2703> unto<WG1519> Lystra<WG3082> and<WG2532> Derbe<WG1191>, cities<WG4172> of Lycaonia<WG3071>, and<WG2532> unto the region that lieth round about<WG4066>:


btext:
And<WG2532> there sat<WG2521> a certain<WG5100> man<WG435> at<WG1722> Lystra<WG3082>, impotent<WG102> in his feet<WG4228>, being<WG5225> a cripple<WG5560> from<WG1537> his<WG846> mother's<WG3384> womb<WG2836>, who<WG3739> never<WG3763> had walked<WG4043>:


btext:
The same<WG3778> heard<WG191> Paul<WG3972> speak<WG2980>: who<WG3739> stedfastly beholding<WG816> him<WG846>, and<WG2532> perceiving<WG1492> that<WG3754> he had<WG2192> faith<WG4102> to be healed<WG4982>,


btext:
Said<WG2036> with a loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, Stand<WG450> upright<WG3717> on<WG1909> thy<WG4675> feet<WG4228>. And<WG2532> he leaped<WG242> and<WG2532> walked<WG4043>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when the people<WG3793> saw<WG1492> what<WG3739> Paul<WG3972> had done<WG4160>, they lifted up<WG1869> their<WG846> voices<WG5456>, saying<WG3004> in the speech of Lycaonia<WG3072>, The gods<WG2316> are come down<WG2597> to<WG4314> us<WG2248> in the likeness<WG3666> of men<WG444>.


btext:
And<WG5037> they called<WG2564> Barnabas<WG921><WG3303>, Jupiter<WG2203>; and<WG1161> Paul<WG3972>, Mercurius<WG2060>, because<WG1894> he<WG846> was<WG2258> the chief<WG2233> speaker<WG3056>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> the priest<WG2409> of Jupiter<WG2203>, which<WG3588> was<WG5607> before<WG4253> their<WG846> city<WG4172>, brought<WG5342> oxen<WG5022> and<WG2532> garlands<WG4725> unto<WG1909> the gates<WG4440>, and would<WG2309> have done sacrifice<WG2380> with<WG4862> the people<WG3793>.


btext:
Which when<WG1161> the apostles<WG652>, Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Paul<WG3972>, heard<WG191> of, they rent<WG1284> their<WG846> clothes<WG2440>, and ran<WG1530> in among<WG1519> the people<WG3793>, crying out<WG2896>,


btext:
And<WG2532> saying<WG3004>, Sirs<WG435>, why<WG5101> do ye<WG4160> these things<WG5130>? We<WG2249> also<WG2532> are<WG2070> men<WG444> of like passions<WG3663> with you<WG5213>, and preach<WG2097> unto you<WG5209> that ye should turn<WG1994> from<WG575> these<WG5023> vanities<WG3152> unto<WG1909> the living<WG2198> God<WG2316>, which<WG3739> made<WG4160> heaven<WG3772>, and<WG2532> earth<WG1093>, and<WG2532> the sea<WG2281>, and<WG2532> all things<WG3956> that are therein<WG1722><WG846>:


btext:
Who<WG3739> in<WG1722> times<WG1074> past<WG3944> suffered<WG1439> all<WG3956> nations<WG1484> to walk<WG4198> in their own<WG846> ways<WG3598>.


btext:
Nevertheless<WG2544><WG2532> he left<WG863> not<WG3756> himself<WG1438> without witness<WG267>, in that he did good<WG15>, and gave<WG1325> us<WG2254> rain<WG5205> from heaven<WG3771>, and<WG2532> fruitful<WG2593> seasons<WG2540>, filling<WG1705> our<WG2257> hearts<WG2588> with food<WG5160> and<WG2532> gladness<WG2167>.


btext:
And<WG2532> with these<WG5023> sayings<WG3004> scarce<WG3433> restrained they<WG2664> the people<WG3793>, that they had<WG2380> not<WG3361> done sacrifice<WG2380> unto them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there came thither<WG1904> certain Jews<WG2453> from<WG575> Antioch<WG490> and<WG2532> Iconium<WG2430>, who<WG2532> persuaded<WG3982> the people<WG3793>, and<WG2532>, having stoned<WG3034> Paul<WG3972>, drew<WG4951> him out of<WG1854> the city<WG4172>, supposing<WG3543> he<WG846> had been dead<WG2348>.


btext:
Howbeit<WG1161>, as the disciples<WG3101> stood round about<WG2944> him<WG846>, he rose up<WG450>, and came<WG1525> into<WG1519> the city<WG4172>: and<WG2532> the next day<WG1887> he departed<WG1831> with<WG4862> Barnabas<WG921> to<WG1519> Derbe<WG1191>.


btext:
And<WG5037> when they had preached the gospel<WG2097> to that<WG1565> city<WG4172>, and<WG2532> had taught<WG3100> many<WG2425>, they returned again<WG5290> to<WG1519> Lystra<WG3082>, and<WG2532> to Iconium<WG2430>, and<WG2532> Antioch<WG490>, / had taught many: Gr. had made many disciples


btext:
Confirming<WG1991> the souls<WG5590> of the disciples<WG3101>, and exhorting them<WG3870> to continue<WG1696> in the faith<WG4102>, and<WG2532> that<WG3754> we<WG2248> must<WG1163> through<WG1223> much<WG4183> tribulation<WG2347> enter<WG1525> into<WG1519> the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they had ordained<WG5500> them<WG846> elders<WG4245> in every<WG2596> church<WG1577>, and had prayed<WG4336> with<WG3326> fasting<WG3521>, they commended<WG3908> them<WG846> to the Lord<WG2962>, on<WG1519> whom<WG3739> they believed<WG4100>.


btext:
And<WG2532> after they had passed throughout<WG1330> Pisidia<WG4099>, they came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Pamphylia<WG3828>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when they had preached<WG2980> the word<WG3056> in<WG1722> Perga<WG4011>, they went down<WG2597> into<WG1519> Attalia<WG825>:


btext:
And thence<WG2547> sailed<WG636> to<WG1519> Antioch<WG490>, from whence<WG3606> they had been<WG2258> recommended<WG3860> to the grace<WG5485> of God<WG2316> for<WG1519> the work<WG2041> which<WG3739> they fulfilled<WG4137>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they were come<WG3854>, and<WG2532> had gathered<WG4863> the church<WG1577> together<WG4863>, they rehearsed<WG312> all<WG3745> that God<WG2316> had done<WG4160> with<WG3326> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> how<WG3754> he had opened<WG455> the door<WG2374> of faith<WG4102> unto the Gentiles<WG1484>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there<WG1563> they abode<WG1304> long<WG3756><WG3641> time<WG5550> with<WG4862> the disciples<WG3101>.


btext:
And<WG2532> certain men<WG5100> which came down<WG2718> from<WG575> Judaea<WG2449> taught<WG1321> the brethren<WG80>, and said,<WG3754> Except<WG3362> ye be circumcised<WG4059> after the manner<WG1485> of Moses<WG3475>, ye cannot<WG3756><WG1410> be saved<WG4982>.


btext:
When therefore<WG3767> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921> had<WG1096> no<WG3756> small<WG3641> dissension<WG4714> and<WG2532> disputation<WG4803> with<WG4314> them<WG846>, they determined<WG5021> that Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921>, and<WG2532> certain<WG5100> other<WG243> of<WG1537> them<WG846>, should go up<WG305> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419> unto<WG4314> the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> about<WG4012> this<WG5127> question<WG2213>.


btext:
And<WG3303><WG3767> being brought on their way<WG4311> by<WG5259> the church<WG1577>, they passed through<WG1330> Phenice<WG5403> and<WG2532> Samaria<WG4540>, declaring<WG1555> the conversion<WG1995> of the Gentiles<WG1484>: and<WG2532> they caused<WG4160> great<WG3173> joy<WG5479> unto all<WG3956> the brethren<WG80>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when they were come<WG3854> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, they were received<WG588> of<WG5259> the church<WG1577>, and<WG2532> of the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245>, and<WG5037> they declared<WG312> all things<WG3745> that God<WG2316> had done<WG4160> with<WG3326> them<WG846>.


btext:
But<WG1161> there rose up<WG1817> certain<WG5100> of<WG575> the sect<WG139> of the Pharisees<WG5330> which believed<WG4100>, saying<WG3004>, That<WG3754> it was needful<WG1163> to circumcise<WG4059> them<WG846>, and<WG5037> to command<WG3853> them to keep<WG5083> the law<WG3551> of Moses<WG3475>. / rose…: or, rose up, said they, certain


btext:
And<WG1161> the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> came together<WG4863> for to consider<WG1492> of<WG4012> this<WG5127> matter<WG3056>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when there had been<WG1096> much<WG4183> disputing<WG4803>, Peter<WG4074> rose up<WG450>, and said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, ye<WG5210> know<WG1987> how that<WG3754> a good<WG744> while<WG2250> ago<WG575> God<WG2316> made choice<WG1586> among<WG1722> us<WG2254>, that the Gentiles<WG1484> by<WG1223> my<WG3450> mouth<WG4750> should hear<WG191> the word<WG3056> of the gospel<WG2098>, and<WG2532> believe<WG4100>.


btext:
And<WG2532> God<WG2316>, which knoweth the hearts<WG2589>, bare them<WG846> witness<WG3140>, giving<WG1325> them<WG846> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, even<WG2532> as<WG2531> he did unto us<WG2254>;


btext:
And<WG2532> put<WG1252> no<WG3762> difference<WG1252> between<WG3342><WG5037> us<WG2257> and<WG2532> them<WG846>, purifying<WG2511> their<WG846> hearts<WG2588> by faith<WG4102>.


btext:
Now<WG3568> therefore<WG3767> why<WG5101> tempt ye<WG3985> God<WG2316>, to put<WG2007> a yoke<WG2218> upon<WG1909> the neck<WG5137> of the disciples<WG3101>, which<WG3739> neither<WG3777> our<WG2257> fathers<WG3962> nor<WG3777> we<WG2249> were able<WG2480> to bear<WG941>?


btext:
But<WG235> we believe<WG4100> that through<WG1223> the grace<WG5485> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547> we shall be saved<WG4982>, even<WG2596><WG3739> as<WG5158> they<WG2548>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> all<WG3956> the multitude<WG4128> kept silence<WG4601>, and<WG2532> gave audience<WG191> to Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Paul<WG3972>, declaring<WG1834> what<WG3745> miracles<WG4592> and<WG2532> wonders<WG5059> God<WG2316> had wrought<WG4160> among<WG1722> the Gentiles<WG1484> by<WG1223> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> after<WG3326> they had held<WG4601> their<WG846> peace<WG4601>, James<WG2385> answered<WG611>, saying<WG3004>, Men<WG435> and brethren<WG80>, hearken<WG191> unto me<WG3450>:


btext:
Simeon<WG4826> hath declared<WG1834> how<WG2531> God<WG2316> at the first<WG4412> did visit<WG1980> the Gentiles<WG1484>, to take<WG2983> out of<WG1537> them a people<WG2992> for<WG1909> his<WG846> name<WG3686>.


btext:
And<WG2532> to this<WG5129> agree<WG4856> the words<WG3056> of the prophets<WG4396>; as<WG2531> it is written<WG1125>,


btext:
After<WG3326> this<WG5023> I will return<WG390>, and<WG2532> will build again<WG456> the tabernacle<WG4633> of David<WG1138>, which<WG3588> is fallen down<WG4098>; and<WG2532> I will build again<WG456> the ruins<WG2679> thereof<WG846>, and<WG2532> I will set<WG461> it<WG846> up<WG461>:


btext:
That<WG3704><WG302> the residue<WG2645> of men<WG444> might seek after<WG1567> the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> all<WG3956> the Gentiles<WG1484>, upon<WG1909> whom<WG3739> my<WG3450> name<WG3686> is called<WG1941><WG1909><WG846>, saith<WG3004> the Lord<WG2962>, who<WG3588> doeth<WG4160> all<WG3956> these things<WG5023>.


btext:
Known<WG1110> unto God<WG2316> are<WG2076> all<WG3956> his<WG846> works<WG2041> from<WG575> the beginning of the world<WG165>.


btext:
Wherefore<WG1352> my<WG1473> sentence is<WG2919>, that we trouble<WG3926> not<WG3361> them, which<WG3588> from among<WG575> the Gentiles<WG1484> are turned<WG1994> to<WG1909> God<WG2316>:


btext:
But<WG235> that we write<WG1989> unto them<WG846>, that they abstain<WG567> from<WG575> pollutions<WG234> of idols<WG1497>, and<WG2532> from fornication<WG4202>, and<WG2532> from things strangled<WG4156>, and<WG2532> from blood<WG129>.


btext:
For<WG1063> Moses<WG3475> of<WG1537> old<WG744> time<WG1074> hath<WG2192> in every<WG2596> city<WG4172> them that preach<WG2784> him<WG846>, being read<WG314> in<WG1722> the synagogues<WG4864> every<WG2596><WG3956> sabbath day<WG4521>.


btext:
Then<WG5119> pleased it<WG1380> the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245>, with<WG4862> the whole<WG3650> church<WG1577>, to send<WG3992> chosen<WG1586> men<WG435> of<WG1537> their own company<WG846> to<WG1519> Antioch<WG490> with<WG4862> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921>; namely, Judas<WG2455> surnamed<WG1941> Barsabas<WG923>, and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>, chief<WG2233> men<WG435> among<WG1722> the brethren<WG80>:


btext:
And they wrote<WG1125> letters by<WG1223> them<WG5495><WG846> after this manner<WG3592>; The apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> and<WG2532> brethren<WG80> send greeting<WG5463> unto the brethren<WG80> which<WG3588> are of<WG1537> the Gentiles<WG1484> in<WG2596> Antioch<WG490> and<WG2532> Syria<WG4947> and<WG2532> Cilicia<WG2791>:


btext:
Forasmuch as<WG1894> we have heard<WG191>, that<WG3754> certain<WG5100> which went out<WG1831> from<WG1537> us<WG2257> have troubled<WG5015> you<WG5209> with words<WG3056>, subverting<WG384> your<WG5216> souls<WG5590>, saying<WG3004>, Ye must be circumcised<WG4059>, and<WG2532> keep<WG5083> the law<WG3551>: to whom<WG3739> we gave<WG1291> no<WG3756> such commandment<WG1291>:


btext:
It seemed good<WG1380> unto us<WG2254>, being assembled<WG1096> with one accord<WG3661>, to send<WG3992> chosen<WG1586> men<WG435> unto<WG4314> you<WG5209> with<WG4862> our<WG2257> beloved<WG27> Barnabas<WG921> and<WG2532> Paul<WG3972>,

We have sent<WG649> therefore<WG3767> Judas<WG2455> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>, who<WG846> shall<WG518> also<WG2532> tell<WG518> you the same things<WG846> by<WG1223> mouth<WG3056>. / mouth: Gr. word


btext:
For<WG1063> it seemed good<WG1380> to the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>, and<WG2532> to us<WG2254>, to lay upon<WG2007> you<WG5213> no<WG3367> greater<WG4119> burden<WG922> than<WG4133> these<WG5130> necessary things<WG1876>;


btext:
That ye abstain<WG567> from meats offered to idols<WG1494>, and<WG2532> from blood<WG129>, and<WG2532> from things strangled<WG4156>, and<WG2532> from fornication<WG4202>: from<WG1537> which<WG3739> if ye keep<WG1301> yourselves<WG1438>, ye shall do<WG4238> well<WG2095>. Fare ye well<WG4517>.

So<WG3303><WG3767> when they were dismissed<WG630>, they came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Antioch<WG490>: and<WG2532> when they had gathered<WG4863> the multitude<WG4128> together<WG4863>, they delivered<WG1929> the epistle<WG1992>:


btext:
Which when<WG1161> they had read<WG314>, they rejoiced<WG5463> for<WG1909> the consolation<WG3874>. / consolation: or, exhortation


btext:
And Judas<WG2455> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>, being<WG5607> prophets<WG4396> also<WG2532> themselves<WG846>, exhorted<WG3870> the brethren<WG80> with<WG1223> many<WG4183> words<WG3056>, and<WG2532> confirmed<WG1991> them.


btext:
And<WG1161> after they had tarried<WG4160> there a space<WG5550>, they were let go<WG630> in<WG3326> peace<WG1515> from<WG575> the brethren<WG80> unto<WG4314> the apostles<WG652>.


btext:
Notwithstanding<WG1161> it pleased<WG1380> Silas<WG4609> to abide<WG1961> there<WG847> still<WG1961>.


btext:
Paul<WG3972> also<WG1161> and<WG2532> Barnabas<WG921> continued<WG1304> in<WG1722> Antioch<WG490>, teaching<WG1321> and<WG2532> preaching<WG2097> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962>, with<WG3326> many<WG4183> others<WG2087> also<WG2532>.


btext:
And<WG1161> some<WG5100> days<WG2250> after<WG3326> Paul<WG3972> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> Barnabas<WG921><WG1211>, Let us go again<WG1994> and visit<WG1980> our<WG2257> brethren<WG80> in<WG2596> every<WG3956> city<WG4172> where<WG1722><WG3739> we have preached<WG2605> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962>, and see how<WG4459> they do<WG2192>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Barnabas<WG921> determined<WG1011> to take with them<WG4838> John<WG2491>, whose surname was<WG2564> Mark<WG3138>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> thought<WG515> not<WG3361> good<WG515> to take<WG4838> him<WG5126> with them<WG4838>, who<WG3588> departed<WG868> from<WG575> them<WG846> from<WG575> Pamphylia<WG3828>, and<WG2532> went<WG4905> not<WG3361> with them<WG846> to<WG1519> the work<WG2041>.


btext:
And<WG3767> the contention<WG3948> was<WG1096> so sharp<WG3948> between them<WG846>, that<WG5620> they departed asunder<WG673> one from the other<WG575><WG240>: and so<WG5037> Barnabas<WG921> took<WG3880> Mark<WG3138>, and sailed<WG1602> unto<WG1519> Cyprus<WG2954>;


btext:
And<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> chose<WG1951> Silas<WG4609>, and departed<WG1831>, being recommended<WG3860> by<WG5259> the brethren<WG80> unto the grace<WG5485> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he went through<WG1330> Syria<WG4947> and<WG2532> Cilicia<WG2791>, confirming<WG1991> the churches<WG1577>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> came he<WG2658> to<WG1519> Derbe<WG1191> and<WG2532> Lystra<WG3082>: and<WG2532>, behold<WG2400>, a certain<WG5100> disciple<WG3101> was<WG2258> there<WG1563>, named<WG3686> Timotheus<WG5095>, the son<WG5207> of a certain<WG5100> woman<WG1135>, which was a Jewess<WG2453>, and believed<WG4103>; but<WG1161> his father<WG3962> was a Greek<WG1672>:


btext:
Which<WG3739> was well reported<WG3140> of by<WG5259> the brethren<WG80> that were at<WG1722> Lystra<WG3082> and<WG2532> Iconium<WG2430>.


btext:
Him<WG5126> would<WG2309> Paul<WG3972> have to go forth<WG1831> with<WG4862> him<WG846>; and<WG2532> took<WG2983> and circumcised<WG4059> him<WG846> because<WG1223> of the Jews<WG2453> which<WG3588> were<WG5607> in<WG1722> those<WG1565> quarters<WG5117>: for<WG1063> they knew<WG1492> all<WG537> that<WG3754> his<WG846> father<WG3962> was<WG5225> a Greek<WG1672>.


btext:
And<WG1161> as<WG5613> they went through<WG1279> the cities<WG4172>, they delivered<WG3860> them<WG846> the decrees<WG1378> for to keep<WG5442>, that were ordained<WG2919> of<WG5259> the apostles<WG652> and<WG2532> elders<WG4245> which<WG3588> were at<WG1722> Jerusalem<WG2419>.


btext:
And so<WG3303><WG3767> were<WG4732> the churches<WG1577> established<WG4732> in the faith<WG4102>, and<WG2532> increased<WG4052> in number<WG706> daily<WG2250><WG2596>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when they had gone throughout<WG1330> Phrygia<WG5435> and<WG2532> the region<WG5561> of Galatia<WG1054>, and were forbidden<WG2967> of<WG5259> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> to preach<WG2980> the word<WG3056> in<WG1722> Asia<WG773>,


btext:
After they were come<WG2064> to<WG2596> Mysia<WG3465>, they assayed<WG3985> to go<WG4198> into<WG2596> Bithynia<WG978>: but<WG2532> the Spirit<WG4151> suffered<WG1439> them<WG846> not<WG3756>.


btext:
And<WG2532> a vision<WG3705> appeared<WG3700> to Paul<WG3972> in<WG1223> the night<WG3571>; There stood<WG2258><WG2476> a man<WG5100><WG435> of Macedonia<WG3110>, and prayed<WG3870> him<WG846><WG2532>, saying<WG3004>, Come over<WG1224> into<WG1519> Macedonia<WG3109>, and help<WG997> us<WG2254>.


btext:
And<WG1161> after<WG5613> he had seen<WG1492> the vision<WG3705>, immediately<WG2112> we endeavoured<WG2212> to go<WG1831> into<WG1519> Macedonia<WG3109>, assuredly gathering<WG4822> that<WG3754> the Lord<WG2962> had called<WG4341> us<WG2248> for to preach the gospel<WG2097> unto them<WG846>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767> loosing<WG321> from<WG575> Troas<WG5174>, we came with a straight course<WG2113> to<WG1519> Samothracia<WG4543>, and<WG5037> the next<WG1966> day to<WG1519> Neapolis<WG3496>;


btext:
And<WG5037> from thence<WG1564> to<WG1519> Philippi<WG5375>, which<WG3748> is<WG2076> the chief<WG4413> city<WG4172> of that part<WG3310> of Macedonia<WG3109>, and a colony<WG2862>: and<WG1161> we were<WG2258> in<WG1722> that<WG5026> city<WG4172> abiding<WG1304> certain<WG5100> days<WG2250>. / the chief: or, the first


btext:
And<WG5037> on the sabbath<WG4521><WG2250> we went<WG1831> out of<WG1854> the city<WG4172> by<WG3844> a river side<WG4215>, where<WG3757> prayer<WG4335> was wont<WG3543> to be made<WG1511>; and<WG2532> we sat down<WG2523>, and spake<WG2980> unto the women<WG1135> which resorted<WG4905> thither. / sabbath: Gr. sabbath day


btext:
And<WG2532> a certain<WG5100> woman<WG1135> named<WG3686> Lydia<WG3070>, a seller of purple<WG4211>, of the city<WG4172> of Thyatira<WG2363>, which worshipped<WG4576> God<WG2316>, heard<WG191> us: whose<WG3739> heart<WG2588> the Lord<WG2962> opened<WG1272>, that she attended<WG4337> unto the things which were spoken<WG2980> of<WG5259> Paul<WG3972>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613> she was baptized<WG907>, and<WG2532> her<WG846> household<WG3624>, she besought<WG3870> us, saying<WG3004>, If<WG1487> ye have judged<WG2919> me<WG3165> to be<WG1511> faithful<WG4103> to the Lord<WG2962>, come<WG1525> into<WG1519> my<WG3450> house<WG3624>, and abide<WG3306> there. And<WG2532> she constrained<WG3849> us<WG2248>.


btext:
And<WG1161> it came to pass<WG1096>, as we<WG2257> went<WG4198> to<WG1519> prayer<WG4335>, a certain<WG5100> damsel<WG3814> possessed<WG2192> with a spirit<WG4151> of divination<WG4436> met<WG528> us<WG2254>, which<WG3748> brought<WG3930> her<WG846> masters<WG2962> much<WG4183> gain<WG2039> by soothsaying<WG3132>: / of divination: or, of Python


btext:
The same<WG3778> followed<WG2628> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> us<WG2254>, and cried<WG2896>, saying<WG3004>, These<WG3778> men<WG444> are<WG1526> the servants<WG1401> of the most high<WG5310> God<WG2316>, which<WG3748> shew<WG2605> unto us<WG2254> the way<WG3598> of salvation<WG4991>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> did she<WG4160><WG1909> many<WG4183> days<WG2250>. But<WG1161> Paul<WG3972>, being grieved<WG1278>, turned<WG1994> and<WG2532> said<WG2036> to the spirit<WG4151>, I command<WG3853> thee<WG4671> in<WG1722> the name<WG3686> of Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547> to come<WG1831> out of<WG575> her<WG846>. And<WG2532> he came out<WG1831> the same<WG846> hour<WG5610>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when her<WG846> masters<WG2962> saw<WG1492> that<WG3754> the hope<WG1680> of their<WG846> gains<WG2039> was gone<WG1831>, they caught<WG1949> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>, and drew<WG1670> them into<WG1519> the marketplace<WG58> unto<WG1909> the rulers<WG758>, / marketplace: or, court


btext:
And<WG2532> brought<WG4317> them<WG846> to the magistrates<WG4755>, saying<WG2036>, These<WG3778> men<WG444>, being<WG5225> Jews<WG2453>, do exceedingly trouble<WG1613> our<WG2257> city<WG4172>,

And<WG2532> teach<WG2605> customs<WG1485>, which<WG3739> are<WG1832> not<WG3756> lawful<WG1832> for us<WG2254> to receive<WG3858>, neither<WG3761> to observe<WG4160>, being<WG5607> Romans<WG4514>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the multitude<WG3793> rose up together<WG4911> against<WG2596> them<WG846>: and<WG2532> the magistrates<WG4755> rent off<WG4048> their<WG846> clothes<WG2440>, and commanded<WG2753> to beat<WG4463> them.


btext:
And<WG5037> when they had laid<WG2007> many<WG4183> stripes<WG4127> upon them<WG846>, they cast<WG906> them into<WG1519> prison<WG5438>, charging<WG3853> the jailor<WG1200> to keep<WG5083> them<WG846> safely<WG806>:


btext:
Who<WG3739>, having received<WG2983> such<WG5108> a charge<WG3852>, thrust<WG906> them<WG846> into<WG1519> the inner<WG2082> prison<WG5438>, and<WG2532> made<WG805> their<WG846> feet<WG4228> fast<WG805> in<WG1519> the stocks<WG3586>.


btext:
And<WG1161> at<WG2596> midnight<WG3317> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609> prayed<WG4336>, and sang praises<WG5214> unto God<WG2316>: and<WG1161> the prisoners<WG1198> heard<WG1874> them<WG846>.


btext:
And<WG1161> suddenly<WG869> there was<WG1096> a great<WG3173> earthquake<WG4578>, so that<WG5620> the foundations<WG2310> of the prison<WG1201> were shaken<WG4531>: and<WG5037> immediately<WG3916> all<WG3956> the doors<WG2374> were opened<WG455>, and<WG2532> every one's<WG3956> bands<WG1199> were loosed<WG447>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the keeper of the prison<WG1200> awaking<WG1096> out of his sleep<WG1853>, and<WG2532> seeing<WG1492> the prison<WG5438> doors<WG2374> open<WG455>, he drew out<WG4685> his sword<WG3162>, and would<WG3195> have killed<WG337> himself<WG1438>, supposing<WG3543> that the prisoners<WG1198> had been fled<WG1628>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> cried<WG5455> with a loud<WG3173> voice<WG5456>, saying<WG3004>, Do<WG4238> thyself<WG4572> no<WG3367> harm<WG2556>: for<WG1063> we are<WG2070> all<WG537> here<WG1759>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> he called<WG154> for a light<WG5457>, and sprang in<WG1530>, and<WG2532> came<WG1096> trembling<WG1790>, and fell down before<WG4363> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>,


btext:
And<WG2532> brought<WG4254> them<WG846> out<WG1854>, and said<WG5346>, Sirs<WG2962>, what<WG5101> must<WG1163> I<WG3165> do<WG4160> to<WG2443> be saved<WG4982>?


btext:
And<WG1161> they said<WG2036>, Believe<WG4100> on<WG1909> the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424> Christ<WG5547>, and<WG2532> thou<WG4771> shalt be saved<WG4982>, and<WG2532> thy<WG4675> house<WG3624>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they spake<WG2980> unto him<WG846> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962>, and<WG2532> to all<WG3956> that were in<WG1722> his<WG846> house<WG3614>.


btext:
And<WG2532> he took<WG3880> them<WG846><WG1722> the same<WG1565> hour<WG5610> of the night<WG3571>, and washed<WG3068> their stripes<WG575><WG4127>; and<WG2532> was baptized<WG907>, he<WG846> and<WG2532> all<WG3956> his<WG846>, straightway<WG3916>.


btext:
And<WG5037> when he had brought<WG321> them<WG846> into<WG1519> his house<WG3624>, he set<WG3908> meat<WG5132> before them<WG3908>, and<WG2532> rejoiced<WG21>, believing<WG4100> in God<WG2316> with all<WG3832> his<WG846> house<WG3832>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when it was<WG1096> day<WG2250>, the magistrates<WG4755> sent<WG649> the serjeants<WG4465>, saying<WG3004>, Let<WG630> those<WG1565> men<WG444> go<WG630>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the keeper of the prison<WG1200> told<WG518> this<WG5128> saying<WG3056> to<WG4314> Paul<WG3972><WG3754>, The magistrates<WG4755> have sent<WG649> to<WG2443> let you go<WG630>: now<WG3568> therefore<WG3767> depart<WG1831>, and go<WG4198> in<WG1722> peace<WG1515>.


btext:
But<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> said<WG5346> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, They have beaten<WG1194> us<WG2248> openly<WG1219> uncondemned<WG178>, being<WG5225> Romans<WG4514><WG444>, and have cast<WG906> us into<WG1519> prison<WG5438>; and<WG2532> now<WG3568> do they thrust<WG1544> us<WG2248> out<WG1544> privily<WG2977>? nay<WG3756> verily<WG1063>; but<WG235> let them come<WG2064> themselves<WG846> and fetch<WG1806> us<WG2248> out<WG1806>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the serjeants<WG4465> told<WG312> these<WG5023> words<WG4487> unto the magistrates<WG4755>: and<WG2532> they feared<WG5399>, when they heard<WG191> that<WG3754> they were<WG1526> Romans<WG4514>.


btext:
And<WG2532> they came<WG2064> and besought<WG3870> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> brought them out<WG1806>, and desired<WG2065> them to depart out<WG1831> of the city<WG4172>.


btext:
And<WG1161> they went<WG1831> out of<WG1537> the prison<WG5438>, and entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the house of Lydia<WG3070>: and<WG2532> when they had seen<WG1492> the brethren<WG80>, they comforted<WG3870> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> departed<WG1831>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> when they had passed through<WG1353> Amphipolis<WG295> and<WG2532> Apollonia<WG624>, they came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Thessalonica<WG2332>, where<WG3699> was<WG2258> a synagogue<WG4864> of the Jews<WG2453>:


btext:
And<WG1161> Paul<WG3972>, as<WG2596> his manner was<WG1486>, went in<WG1525> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, and<WG2532><WG1909> three<WG5140> sabbath<WG4521> days reasoned<WG1256> with them<WG846> out of<WG575> the scriptures<WG1124>,

And<WG2532> some<WG5100> of<WG1537> them<WG846> believed<WG3982>, and<WG2532> consorted<WG4345> with Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609>; and<WG5037> of the devout<WG4576> Greeks<WG1672> a great<WG4183> multitude<WG4128>, and<WG5037> of the chief<WG4413> women<WG1135> not<WG3756> a few<WG3641>.

But<WG1161> the Jews<WG2453> which believed not<WG544>, moved with envy<WG2206><WG2532>, took unto them<WG4355> certain<WG5100> lewd<WG4190> fellows<WG435> of the baser sort<WG60>, and<WG2532> gathered a company<WG3792>, and set all<WG2350> the city<WG4172> on an uproar<WG2350>, and<WG5037> assaulted<WG2186> the house<WG3614> of Jason<WG2394>, and sought<WG2212> to bring<WG71> them<WG846> out<WG1519> to the people<WG1218>.

And<WG2532> when they had taken<WG2983> security<WG2425> of<WG3844> Jason<WG2394>, and<WG2532> of the other<WG3062>, they let<WG630> them<WG846> go<WG630>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the brethren<WG80> immediately<WG2112> sent away<WG1599><WG5037> Paul<WG3972> and<WG2532> Silas<WG4609> by<WG1223> night<WG3571> unto<WG1519> Berea<WG960>: who<WG3748> coming<WG3854> thither went<WG549> into<WG1519> the synagogue<WG4864> of the Jews<WG2453>.


btext:
<WG1161> These<WG3778> were<WG2258> more noble<WG2104> than those in<WG1722> Thessalonica<WG2332>, in that they<WG3748> received<WG1209> the word<WG3056> with<WG3326> all<WG3956> readiness of mind<WG4288>, and searched<WG350> the scriptures<WG1124> daily<WG2250><WG2596>, whether<WG1487> those things<WG5023> were<WG2192> so<WG3779>.


btext:
Therefore<WG3767><WG3303> many<WG4183> of<WG1537> them<WG846> believed<WG4100>; also<WG2532> of honourable<WG2158> women<WG1135> which<WG3588> were Greeks<WG1674>, and<WG2532> of men<WG435>, not<WG3756> a few<WG3641>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when<WG5613> the Jews<WG2453> of<WG575> Thessalonica<WG2332> had knowledge<WG1097> that<WG3754><WG2532> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> was preached<WG2605> of<WG5259> Paul<WG3972> at<WG1722> Berea<WG960>, they came<WG2064> thither also<WG2546>, and stirred up<WG4531> the people<WG3793>.


btext:
And<WG1161> then<WG5119> immediately<WG2112> the brethren<WG80> sent away<WG1821> Paul<WG3972> to go<WG4198> as it were<WG5613> to<WG1909> the sea<WG2281>: but<WG1161><WG5037> Silas<WG4609> and<WG2532> Timotheus<WG5095> abode<WG5278> there<WG1563> still<WG5278>.


btext:
And<WG1161> they that conducted<WG2525> Paul<WG3972> brought<WG71> him<WG846> unto<WG2193> Athens<WG116>: and<WG2532> receiving<WG2983> a commandment<WG1785> unto<WG4314> Silas<WG4609> and<WG2532> Timotheus<WG5095> for to<WG2443> come<WG2064> to<WG4314> him<WG846> with all speed<WG5613><WG5033>, they departed<WG1826>.


btext:
Now<WG1161> while Paul<WG3972> waited for<WG1551> them<WG846> at<WG1722> Athens<WG116>, his<WG846> spirit<WG4151> was stirred<WG3947> in<WG1722> him<WG846>, when he saw<WG2334> the city<WG4172> wholly given<WG5607> to idolatry<WG2712>. / wholly…: or, full of idols


btext:
Therefore<WG3767><WG3303> disputed he<WG1256> in<WG1722> the synagogue<WG4864> with the Jews<WG2453>, and<WG2532> with the devout persons<WG4576>, and<WG2532> in<WG1722> the market<WG58> daily<WG2596><WG3956><WG2250> with<WG4314> them that met with him<WG3909>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> certain<WG5100> philosophers<WG5386> of the Epicureans<WG1946>, and<WG2532> of the Stoicks<WG4770>, encountered<WG4820> him<WG846>. And<WG2532> some<WG5100> said<WG3004>, What<WG5101> will<WG302><WG2309> this<WG3778> babbler<WG4691> say<WG3004><WG1161>? other some, He seemeth<WG1380> to be<WG1511> a setter forth<WG2604> of strange<WG3581> gods<WG1140>: because<WG3754> he preached<WG2097> unto them<WG846> Jesus<WG2424>, and<WG2532> the resurrection<WG386>. / babbler: or, base fellow


btext:
And<WG5037> they took<WG1949> him<WG846>, and brought him<WG71> unto<WG1909> Areopagus<WG697>, saying<WG3004>, May<WG1410> we know<WG1097> what<WG5101> this<WG3778> new<WG2537> doctrine<WG1322>, whereof<WG5259> thou<WG4675> speakest<WG2980>, is? / Areopagus: or, Mars-hill: it was the highest court in Athens

For<WG1063> thou bringest<WG1533> certain<WG5100> strange things<WG3579> to<WG1519> our<WG2257> ears<WG189>: we would<WG1014> know<WG1097> therefore<WG3767> what<WG5101> these things<WG5023> mean<WG302><WG2309><WG1511>.


btext:
(For<WG1161> all<WG3956> the Athenians<WG117> and<WG2532> strangers<WG3581> which<WG3588> were there<WG1927> spent their time<WG2119> in<WG1519> nothing<WG3762> else<WG2087>, but either<WG2228> to tell<WG3004>, or<WG2532> to hear<WG191> some<WG5100> new thing<WG2537>.)


btext:
Then<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> stood<WG2476> in<WG1722> the midst<WG3319> of Mars' hill<WG697>, and said<WG5346>, Ye men<WG435> of Athens<WG117>, I perceive<WG2334> that<WG5613> in<WG2596> all things<WG3956> ye<WG5209> are too superstitious<WG1174>. / Mars' hill: or, court of the Areopagites


btext:
For<WG1063> as I passed by<WG1330>, and<WG2532> beheld<WG333> your<WG5216> devotions<WG4574><WG2532>, I found<WG2147> an altar<WG1041> with this<WG1722><WG3739> inscription<WG1924>, TO THE UNKNOWN<WG57> GOD<WG2316>. Whom<WG3739> therefore<WG3767> ye ignorantly<WG50> worship<WG2151>, him<WG5126> declare<WG2605> I<WG1473> unto you<WG5213>. / devotions: or, gods that ye worship

Neither<WG3761> is worshipped<WG2323> with<WG5259> men's<WG444> hands<WG5495>, as though he needed<WG4326> any thing<WG5100>, seeing he<WG846> giveth<WG1325> to all<WG3956> life<WG2222>, and<WG2532> breath<WG4157>, and<WG2596> all things<WG3956>;

And<WG5037> hath made<WG4160> of<WG1537> one<WG1520> blood<WG129> all<WG3956> nations<WG1484> of men<WG444> for to dwell<WG2730> on<WG1909> all<WG3956> the face<WG4383> of the earth<WG1093>, and hath determined<WG3724> the times<WG2540> before appointed<WG4384>, and<WG2532> the bounds<WG3734> of their<WG846> habitation<WG2733>;

That they should seek<WG2212> the Lord<WG2962>, if<WG1487> haply<WG686> they might feel<WG5584> after him<WG846>, and<WG2532> find him<WG2147>, though<WG2544> he be<WG5225> not<WG3756> far<WG3112> from<WG575> every<WG1538> one<WG1520> of us<WG2257>:

btext:
Forasmuch then<WG3767> as we are<WG5225> the offspring<WG1085> of God<WG2316>, we ought<WG3784> not<WG3756> to think<WG3543> that the Godhead<WG2304> is<WG1511> like<WG3664> unto gold<WG5557>, or<WG2228> silver<WG696>, or<WG2228> stone<WG3037>, graven<WG5480> by art<WG5078> and<WG2532> man's<WG444> device<WG1761>.

Howbeit<WG1161> certain<WG5100> men<WG435> clave<WG2853> unto him<WG846>, and believed<WG4100>: among<WG1722> the which<WG3739><WG2532> was Dionysius<WG1354> the Areopagite<WG698>, and<WG2532> a woman<WG1135> named<WG3686> Damaris<WG1152>, and<WG2532> others<WG2087> with<WG4862> them<WG846>.

<WG1161> After<WG3326> these things<WG5023> Paul<WG3972> departed<WG5563> from<WG1537> Athens<WG116>, and came<WG2064> to<WG1519> Corinth<WG2882>;

And<WG2532> because<WG1223> he was<WG1511> of the same craft<WG3673>, he abode<WG3306> with<WG3844> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> wrought<WG2038>: for<WG1063> by their occupation<WG5078> they were<WG2258> tentmakers<WG4635>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he reasoned<WG1256> in<WG1722> the synagogue<WG4864><WG2596> every<WG3956> sabbath<WG4521>, and<WG5037> persuaded<WG3982> the Jews<WG2453> and<WG2532> the Greeks<WG1672>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when<WG5613><WG5037> Silas<WG4609> and<WG2532> Timotheus<WG5095> were come<WG2718> from<WG575> Macedonia<WG3109>, Paul<WG3972> was pressed<WG4912> in the spirit<WG4151>, and testified<WG1263> to the Jews<WG2453> that Jesus<WG2424> was Christ<WG5547>. / was Christ: or, is the Christ


btext:
And<WG1161> when they opposed<WG498> themselves<WG846>, and<WG2532> blasphemed<WG987>, he shook<WG1621> his raiment<WG2440>, and said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Your<WG5216> blood<WG129> be upon<WG1909> your<WG5216> own heads<WG2776>; I<WG1473> am clean<WG2513>: from<WG575> henceforth<WG3568> I will go<WG4198> unto<WG1519> the Gentiles<WG1484>.

And<WG2532> he departed<WG3327> thence<WG1564>, and entered<WG2064> into<WG1519> a certain<WG5100> man's house<WG3614>, named<WG3686> Justus<WG2459>, one that worshipped<WG4576> God<WG2316>, whose<WG3739> house<WG3614> joined hard<WG4927><WG2258> to the synagogue<WG4864>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Crispus<WG2921>, the chief ruler of the synagogue<WG752>, believed<WG4100> on the Lord<WG2962> with<WG4862> all<WG3650> his<WG846> house<WG3624>; and<WG2532> many<WG4183> of the Corinthians<WG2881> hearing<WG191> believed<WG4100>, and<WG2532> were baptized<WG907>.

Then<WG1161> spake<WG2036> the Lord<WG2962> to Paul<WG3972> in<WG1223> the night<WG3571> by<WG1722> a vision<WG3705>, Be<WG5399> not<WG3361> afraid<WG5399>, but<WG235> speak<WG2980>, and<WG2532> hold<WG4623> not<WG3361> thy peace<WG4623>:

btext:
And<WG5037> he continued<WG2523> there a year<WG1763> and<WG2532> six<WG1803> months<WG3376>, teaching<WG1321> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2316> among<WG1722> them<WG846>. / continued there: Gr. sat there

And<WG1161> when Gallio<WG1058> was the deputy<WG445> of Achaia<WG882>, the Jews<WG2453> made insurrection<WG2721> with one accord against<WG3661> Paul<WG3972>, and<WG2532> brought<WG71> him<WG846> to<WG1909> the judgment seat<WG968>,

And<WG1161> when Paul<WG3972> was now about<WG3195> to open<WG455> his mouth<WG4750>, Gallio<WG1058> said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> the Jews<WG2453>, If<WG1487><WG3303><WG3767> it were<WG2258> a<WG5100> matter of wrong<WG92> or<WG2228> wicked<WG4190> lewdness<WG4467>, O<WG5599> ye Jews<WG2453>, reason<WG2596><WG3056> would<WG302> that I should bear<WG430> with you<WG5216>:

But<WG1161> if<WG1487> it be<WG2076> a question<WG2213> of<WG4012> words<WG3056> and<WG2532> names<WG3686>, and<WG2532> of<WG2596> your<WG5209> law<WG3551>, look ye<WG3700><WG846> to it; for<WG1063> I<WG1473> will be<WG1014><WG1511> no<WG3756> judge<WG2923> of such<WG5130> matters.


btext:
Then<WG1161> all<WG3956> the Greeks<WG1672> took<WG1949> Sosthenes<WG4988>, the chief ruler of the synagogue<WG752>, and beat<WG5180> him before<WG1715> the judgment seat<WG968>. And<WG2532> Gallio<WG1058> cared<WG3199> for none<WG3762> of those things<WG5130>.


btext:
And<WG1161> Paul<WG3972> after this tarried<WG4357> there yet<WG2089> a good<WG2425> while<WG2250>, and then took his leave<WG657> of the brethren<WG80>, and sailed thence<WG1602> into<WG1519> Syria<WG4947>, and<WG2532> with<WG4862> him<WG846> Priscilla<WG4252> and<WG2532> Aquila<WG207>; having shorn<WG2751> his head<WG2776> in<WG1722> Cenchrea<WG2747>: for<WG1063> he had<WG2192> a vow<WG2171>.

And<WG1161> he came<WG2658> to<WG1519> Ephesus<WG2181>, and<WG2548> left<WG2641> them there<WG847>: but<WG1161> he himself<WG846> entered<WG1525> into<WG1519> the synagogue<WG4864>, and reasoned with<WG1256> the Jews<WG2453>.

When<WG1161> they<WG846> desired<WG2065> him to tarry<WG3306> longer<WG1909><WG4119> time<WG5550> with<WG3844> them<WG846>, he consented<WG1962> not<WG3756>;

And<WG2532> after he had spent<WG4160> some<WG5100> time<WG5550> there, he departed<WG1831>, and went over<WG1330> all the country<WG5561> of Galatia<WG1054> and<WG2532> Phrygia<WG5435> in order<WG2517>, strengthening<WG1991> all<WG3956> the disciples<WG3101>.

And<WG5037> he<WG3778> began<WG756> to speak boldly<WG3955> in<WG1722> the synagogue<WG4864>: whom<WG846> when<WG1161> Aquila<WG207> and<WG2532> Priscilla<WG4252> had heard<WG191>, they took<WG4355> him<WG846> unto them, and<WG2532> expounded<WG1620> unto him<WG846> the way<WG3598> of God<WG2316> more perfectly<WG197>.


btext:
And<WG1161> when he<WG846> was disposed<WG1014> to pass<WG1330> into<WG1519> Achaia<WG882>, the brethren<WG80> wrote<WG1125>, exhorting<WG4389> the disciples<WG3101> to receive<WG588> him<WG846>: who<WG3739>, when he was come<WG3854>, helped them<WG4820> much<WG4183> which had believed<WG4100> through<WG1223> grace<WG5485>:

For<WG1063> he mightily<WG2159> convinced<WG1246> the Jews<WG2453>, and that publickly<WG1219>, shewing<WG1925> by<WG1223> the scriptures<WG1124> that Jesus<WG2424> was<WG1511> Christ<WG5547>. / Christ: or, is the Christ

He said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846><WG1487>, Have ye received<WG2983> the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> since ye believed<WG4100>? And<WG1161> they said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> him<WG846><WG235>, We have<WG191> not so much as<WG3761> heard<WG191> whether<WG1487> there be any<WG2076> Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151>.


btext:
And<WG5037> he said<WG2036> unto<WG4314> them<WG846>, Unto<WG1519> what<WG5101> then<WG3767> were ye baptized<WG907>? And<WG1161> they said<WG2036>, Unto<WG1519> John's<WG2491> baptism<WG908>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> said<WG2036> Paul<WG3972>, John<WG2491> verily<WG3303> baptized<WG907> with the baptism<WG908> of repentance<WG3341>, saying<WG3004> unto the people<WG2992>, that<WG2443> they should believe<WG4100> on<WG1519> him which should come<WG2064> after<WG3326> him<WG846>, that is<WG5123>, on<WG1519> Christ<WG5547> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
When<WG1161> they heard<WG191> this, they were baptized<WG907> in<WG1519> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>.


btext:
And<WG2532> when Paul<WG3972> had laid<WG2007> his hands<WG5495> upon<WG2007> them<WG846>, the Holy<WG40> Ghost<WG4151> came<WG2064> on<WG1909> them<WG846>; and<WG5037> they spake<WG2980> with tongues<WG1100>, and<WG2532> prophesied<WG4395>.


btext:
And<WG1161> he went<WG1525> into<WG1519> the synagogue<WG4864>, and spake boldly<WG3955> for the space<WG1909> of three<WG5140> months<WG3376>, disputing<WG1256> and<WG2532> persuading<WG3982> the things concerning<WG4012> the kingdom<WG932> of God<WG2316>.


btext:
But<WG1161> when<WG5613> divers<WG5100> were hardened<WG4645>, and<WG2532> believed not<WG544>, but spake evil<WG2551> of that way<WG3598> before<WG1799> the multitude<WG4128>, he departed<WG868> from<WG575> them<WG846>, and separated<WG873> the disciples<WG3101>, disputing<WG1256> daily<WG2596><WG2250> in<WG1722> the school<WG4981> of one<WG5100> Tyrannus<WG5181>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> continued<WG1096> by the space<WG1909> of two<WG1417> years<WG2094>; so<WG5620> that all<WG3956> they which dwelt in<WG2730> Asia<WG773> heard<WG191> the word<WG3056> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>, both<WG5037> Jews<WG2453> and<WG2532> Greeks<WG1672>.


btext:
And<WG5037> God<WG2316> wrought<WG4160> special<WG3756><WG5177> miracles<WG1411> by<WG1223> the hands<WG5495> of Paul<WG3972>:


btext:
So<WG2532><WG5620> that from<WG575> his<WG846> body<WG5559> were brought<WG2018> unto<WG1909> the sick<WG770> handkerchiefs<WG4676> or<WG2228> aprons<WG4612>, and<WG2532> the diseases<WG3554> departed<WG525> from<WG575> them<WG846>, and<WG5037> the evil<WG4190> spirits<WG4151> went<WG1831> out of<WG575> them<WG846>.


btext:
Then<WG1161> certain<WG5100> of<WG575> the vagabond<WG4022> Jews<WG2453>, exorcists<WG1845>, took upon them<WG2021> to call<WG3687> over<WG1909> them which had<WG2192> evil<WG4190> spirits<WG4151> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424>, saying<WG3004>, We adjure<WG3726> you<WG5209> by Jesus<WG2424> whom<WG3739> Paul<WG3972> preacheth<WG2784>.


btext:
And<WG1161> there were<WG2258> seven<WG2033> sons<WG5207> of one Sceva<WG4630><WG5100>, a Jew<WG2453>, and chief of the priests<WG749>, which did<WG4160> so<WG5124>.


btext:
And<WG1161> the evil<WG4190> spirit<WG4151> answered<WG611> and said<WG2036>, Jesus<WG2424> I know<WG1097>, and<WG2532> Paul<WG3972> I know<WG1987>; but<WG1161> who<WG5101> are<WG2075> ye<WG5210>?


btext:
And<WG2532> the man<WG444> in<WG1722> whom<WG3739> the evil<WG4190> spirit<WG4151> was<WG2258> leaped<WG2177> on<WG1909> them<WG846>, and<WG2532> overcame<WG2634> them<WG846>, and prevailed<WG2480> against<WG2596> them<WG846>, so<WG5620> that they fled<WG1628> out of<WG1537> that<WG1565> house<WG3624> naked<WG1131> and<WG2532> wounded<WG5135>.


btext:
And<WG1161> this<WG5124> was<WG1096> known<WG1110> to all<WG3956> the Jews<WG2453> and<WG5037> Greeks<WG1672> also<WG2532> dwelling<WG2730> at Ephesus<WG2181>; and<WG2532> fear<WG5401> fell<WG1968> on<WG1909> them<WG846> all<WG3956>, and<WG2532> the name<WG3686> of the Lord<WG2962> Jesus<WG2424> was magnified<WG3170>.


btext:
And<WG5037> many<WG4183> that believed<WG4100> came<WG2064>, and confessed<WG1843>, and<WG2532> shewed<WG312> their<WG846> deeds<WG4234>.


btext:
Many<WG2425> of them also<WG1161> which used<WG4238> curious arts<WG4021> brought<WG4851> their books<WG976> together<WG4851>, and burned them<WG2618> before<WG1799> all<WG3956> men: and<WG2532> they counted<WG4860> the price<WG5092> of them<WG846>, and<WG2532> found<WG2147> it fifty<WG4002> thousand<WG3461> pieces of silver<WG694>.


btext:
So<WG3779> mightily<WG2596><WG2904> grew<WG837> the word<WG3056> of God<WG2962> and<WG2532> prevailed<WG2480>.


btext:
After<WG1161><WG5613> these things<WG5023> were ended<WG4137>, Paul<WG3972> purposed<WG5087> in<WG1722> the spirit<WG4151>, when he had passed through<WG1330> Macedonia<WG3109> and<WG2532> Achaia<WG882>, to go<WG4198> to<WG1519> Jerusalem<WG2419>, saying<WG2036>, After<WG3754><WG3326> I<WG3165> have been<WG1096> there<WG1563>, I<WG3165> must<WG1163> also<WG2532> see<WG1492> Rome<WG4516>.


btext:
So<WG1161> he sent<WG649> into<WG1519> Macedonia<WG3109> two<WG1417> of them that ministered<WG1247> unto him<WG846>, Timotheus<WG5095> and<WG2532> Erastus<WG2037>; but he himself<WG846> stayed<WG1907> in<WG1519> Asia<WG773> for a season<WG5550>.


btext:
And<WG1161><WG2596> the same<WG1565> time<WG2540> there arose<WG1096> no<WG3756> small<WG3641> stir<WG5017> about<WG4012> that way<WG3598>.


btext:
For<WG1063> a certain<WG5100> man named<WG3686> Demetrius<WG1216>, a silversmith<WG695>, which made<WG4160> silver<WG693> shrines<WG3485> for Diana<WG735>, brought<WG3930> no<WG3756> small<WG3641> gain<WG2039> unto the craftsmen<WG5079>;


btext:
Whom<WG3739> he called together<WG4867> with the workmen<WG2040> of<WG4012> like occupation<WG5108>, and<WG2532> said<WG2036>, Sirs<WG435>, ye know<WG1987> that<WG3754> by<WG1537> this<WG5026> craft<WG2039> we have<WG2076> our<WG2257> wealth<WG2142>.


btext:
Moreover<WG2532> ye see<WG2334> and<WG2532> hear<WG191>, that<WG3754> not<WG3756> alone<WG3440> at Ephesus<WG2181>, but<WG235> almost<WG4975> throughout all<WG3956> Asia<WG773>, this<WG3778> Paul<WG3972> hath persuaded<WG3982> and turned away<WG3179> much<WG2425> people<WG3793>, saying<WG3004> that<WG3754> they be<WG1526> no<WG3756> gods<WG2316>, which<WG3588> are made<WG1096> with<WG1223> hands<WG5495>:


btext:
So<WG1161> that not<WG3756> only<WG3440> this<WG5124> our<WG2254> craft<WG3313> is in danger<WG2793> to be set<WG2064> at<WG1519> nought<WG557>; but<WG235> also<WG2532> that the temple<WG2411> of the great<WG3173> goddess<WG2299> Diana<WG735> should be despised<WG1519><WG3762><WG3049>, and<WG1161><WG2532> her<WG846> magnificence<WG3168> should<WG3195> be destroyed<WG2507>, whom<WG3739> all<WG3650> Asia<WG773> and<WG2532> the world<WG3625> worshippeth<WG4576>. / set at nought: or, brought into disrepute, or, contempt


btext:
And<WG1161> when they heard<WG191> these sayings, they were<WG1096> full<WG4134> of wrath<WG2372>, and<WG2532> cried out<WG2896>, saying<WG3004>, Great<WG3173> is Diana<WG735> of the Ephesians<WG2180>.


btext:
And<WG2532> the whole<WG3650> city<WG4172> was filled<WG4130> with confusion<WG4799>: and<WG5037> having caught<WG4884> Gaius<WG1050> and<WG2532> Aristarchus<WG708>, men of Macedonia<WG3110>, Paul's<WG3972> companions in travel<WG4898>, they rushed<WG3729> with one accord<WG3661> into<WG1519> the theatre<WG2302>.
