\chapterNumber{1}In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth. 
\verseNumber{2}And the earth was without forme and void, and darkenesse was vpon the deepe, and the Spirit of God mooued vpon the waters. 
\verseNumber{3}Then God said, Let there be light: And there was light. 
\verseNumber{4}And God saw the light that it was good, and God separated the light from the darkenes. 
\verseNumber{5}And God called the Light, Day, and the darkenes, he called Night. So the euening and the morning were the first day. 
\verseNumber{6}Againe God said, Let there be a firmament in the mids of the waters: and let it separate the waters from the waters. 
\verseNumber{7}Then God made the firmament, and separated the waters, which were vnder the firmament, from the waters which were aboue the firmament: and it was so. 
\verseNumber{8}And God called the firmament Heauen. So the Euening and the morning were the second day. 
\verseNumber{9}God said againe, Let the waters vnder the heauen be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appeare. and it was so. 
\verseNumber{10}And God called the dry land, Earth, and he called the gathering together of the waters, Seas: and God saw that it was good. 
\verseNumber{11}Then God said, Let the earth bud forth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seed, the fruitfull tree, which beareth fruite according to his kinde, which hath his seede in it selfe vpon the earth: and it was so. 
\verseNumber{12}And the earth brought foorth the bud of the herbe, that seedeth seede according to his kind, also the tree that beareth fruit, which hath his seed in it selfe according to his kinde: and God saw that it was good. 
\verseNumber{13}So the euening and the morning were the third day. 
\verseNumber{14}And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heauen, to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signes, and for seasons, and for dayes and yeeres. 
\verseNumber{15}And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heauen to giue light vpon the earth: and it was so. 
\verseNumber{16}God then made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesse light to rule the night: he made also the starres. 
\verseNumber{17}And God set them in the firmament of the heauen, to shine vpon the earth, 
\verseNumber{18}And to rule in the day, and in the night, and to separate the light from the darkenesse: and God saw that it was good. 
\verseNumber{19}So the euening and the morning were the fourth day. 
\verseNumber{20}Afterward God said, Let the waters bring foorth in abundance euery creeping thing that hath life: and let the foule flie vpon the earth in the open firmament of the heauen. 
\verseNumber{21}Then God created the great whales, and euery thing liuing and mouing, which the waters brought foorth in abundance according to their kinde, and euery fethered foule according to his kinde: and God sawe that it was good. 
\verseNumber{22}Then God blessed them, saying, Bring foorth fruite and multiplie, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the foule multiplie in the earth. 
\verseNumber{23}So the euening and the morning were the fifte day. 
\verseNumber{24}Moreouer God said, Let the earth bring foorth the liuing thing according to his kinde, cattel, and that which creepeth, and the beast of the earth, according to his kinde. and it was so. 
\verseNumber{25}And God made the beast of the earth according to his kinde, and the cattell according to his kinde, and euery creeping thing of the earth according to his kind: and God saw that it was good. 
\verseNumber{26}Furthermore God said, Let vs make man in our image according to our likenes, and let them rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer the beastes, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery thing that creepeth and moueth on the earth. 
\verseNumber{27}Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them male and female. 
\verseNumber{28}And God blessed them, and God said to them, Bring forth fruite and multiplie, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the heauen, and ouer euery beast that moueth vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{29}And God said, Beholde, I haue giuen vnto you euery herbe bearing seede, which is vpon al the earth, and euery tree, wherein is the fruite of a tree bearing seede: that shall be to you for meate. 
\verseNumber{30}Likewise to euery beast of the earth, and to euery foule of the heauen, and to euery thing that moueth vpon the earth, which hath life in it selfe, euery greene herbe shall be for meate. and it was so. 
\verseNumber{31}And God sawe all that he had made, and loe, it was very good. So the euening and the morning were the sixt day. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 
\verseNumber{2}For in the seuenth day GOD ended his worke which he had made, and the seuenth day he rested from al his worke, which he had made. 
\verseNumber{3}So God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it, because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God had created and made. 
\verseNumber{4}These are the generations of the heauens and of the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heauens, 
\verseNumber{5}And euery plant of the fielde, before it was in the earth, and euery herbe of the field, before it grewe: for the Lord God had not caused it to raine vpon the earth, neither was there a man to till the ground, 
\verseNumber{6}But a myst went vp from the earth, and watered all the earth. 
\verseNumber{7}The Lord God also made the man of the dust of the grounde, and breathed in his face breath of life, and the man was a liuing soule. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made. 
\verseNumber{9}(For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow euery tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meate: the tree of life also in the mids of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and of euill. 
\verseNumber{10}And out of Eden went a riuer to water the garden, and from thence it was deuided, and became into foure heads. 
\verseNumber{11}The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of Hauilah, where is golde. 
\verseNumber{12}And the golde of that land is good: there is Bdelium, and the Onix stone. 
\verseNumber{13}And the name of the seconde riuer is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole lande of Cush. 
\verseNumber{14}The name also of the third riuer is Hiddekel: this goeth toward the Eastside of Asshur: and the fourth riuer is Perath) 
\verseNumber{15}Then the Lord God tooke the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might dresse it and keepe it. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Thou shalt eate freely of euery tree of the garden, 
\verseNumber{17}But of the tree of knowledge of good and euill, thou shalt not eate of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death. 
\verseNumber{18}Also the Lord God saide, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I wil make him an helpe meete for him. 
\verseNumber{19}So the Lord God formed of the earth euery beast of the fielde, and euery foule of the heauen, and brought them vnto the man to see howe he would call them: for howsoeuer the man named the liuing creature, so was the name thereof. 
\verseNumber{20}The man therefore gaue names vnto all cattell, and to the foule of the heauen, and to euery beast of the fielde: but for Adam founde he not an helpe meete for him. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore the Lord God caused an heauie sleepe to fall vpon the man, and he slept: and he tooke one of his ribbes, and closed vp the flesh in steade thereof. 
\verseNumber{22}And the ribbe which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her to the man. 
\verseNumber{23}Then the man said, This now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shalbe called woman, because she was taken out of man. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore shall man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they shall be one flesh. 
\verseNumber{25}And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the fielde, which the Lord God had made: and he said to the woman, Yea, hath God in deede said, Ye shall not eate of euery tree of the garden? 
\verseNumber{2}And the woman said vnto the serpent, We eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden, 
\verseNumber{3}But of the fruite of the tree which is in the middes of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eate of it, neither shall ye touche it, lest ye die. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not die at all, 
\verseNumber{5}But God doeth knowe, that when ye shall eate thereof, your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and euill. 
\verseNumber{6}So the woman (seeing that the tree was good for meate, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to get knowledge) tooke of the fruite thereof, and did eate, and gaue also to her husband with her, and he did eate. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knewe that they were naked, and they sewed figge tree leaues together, and made them selues breeches. 
\verseNumber{8}Afterward they heard the voyce of the Lord God walking in the garden in the coole of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselues from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 
\verseNumber{9}But the Lord God called to the man, and said vnto him, Where art thou? 
\verseNumber{10}Who saide, I heard thy voyce in the garden, and was afraide: because I was naked, therefore I hid my selfe. 
\verseNumber{11}And he saide, Who tolde thee, that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eate? 
\verseNumber{12}Then the man saide, The woman which thou gauest to be with me, she gaue me of the tree, and I did eate. 
\verseNumber{13}And the Lord God saide to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eate. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Lord God said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboue all cattell, and aboue euery beast of the fielde: vpon thy belly shalt thou goe, and dust shalt thou eate all the dayes of thy life. 
\verseNumber{15}I will also put enimitie betweene thee and the woman, and betweene thy seede and her seede. He shall breake thine head, and thou shalt bruise his heele. 
\verseNumber{16}Vnto the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy sorowes, and thy conceptions. In sorowe shalt thou bring foorth children, and thy desire shalbe subiect to thine husband, and he shall rule ouer thee. 
\verseNumber{17}Also to Adam he said, Because thou hast obeyed the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, (whereof I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it) cursed is the earth for thy sake: in sorowe shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life. 
\verseNumber{18}Thornes also, and thistles shall it bring foorth to thee, and thou shalt eate the herbe of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{19}In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne to the earth: for out of it wast thou taken, because thou art dust, and to dust shalt thou returne. 
\verseNumber{20}(And the man called his wiues name Heuah, because she was the mother of all liuing) 
\verseNumber{21}Vnto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coates of skinnes, and clothed them. 
\verseNumber{22}And the Lord God said, Beholde, the man is become as one of vs, to knowe good and euill. And nowe lest he put foorth his hand, and take also of ye tree of life and eate and liue for euer, 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore the Lord God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till ye earth, whence he was taken. 
\verseNumber{24}Thus he cast out man, and at the East side of the garden of Eden he set the Cherubims, and the blade of a sworde shaken, to keepe the way of the tree of life. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Afterward the man knew Heuah his wife, which conceiued and bare Kain, and said, I haue obteined a man by the Lord. 
\verseNumber{2}And againe she brought foorth his brother Habel, and Habel was a keeper of sheepe, and Kain was a tiller of the ground. 
\verseNumber{3}And in processe of time it came to passe, that Kain brought an oblation vnto the Lord of the fruite of the ground. 
\verseNumber{4}And Habel also him selfe brought of the first fruites of his sheepe, and of the fat of them, and the Lord had respect vnto Habel, and to his offering, 
\verseNumber{5}But vnto Kain and to his offering he had no regarde: wherefore Kain was exceeding wroth, and his countenance fell downe. 
\verseNumber{6}Then ye Lord said vnto Kain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance cast downe? 
\verseNumber{7}If thou do well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: also vnto thee his desire shalbe subiect, and thou shalt rule ouer him. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Kain spake to Habel his brother. And when they were in the fielde, Kain rose vp against Habel his brother, and slewe him. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the Lord said vnto Kain, Where is Habel thy brother? Who answered, I cannot tell. Am I my brothers keeper? 
\verseNumber{10}Againe he said, What hast thou done? the voyce of thy brothers blood cryeth vnto me from the earth. 
\verseNumber{11}Now therefore thou art cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receiue thy brothers blood from thine hand. 
\verseNumber{12}When thou shalt till the grounde, it shall not henceforth yeelde vnto thee her strength: a vagabond and a runnagate shalt thou be in the earth. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Kain said to the Lord, My punishment is greater, then I can beare. 
\verseNumber{14}Behold, thou hast cast me out this day from the earth, and from thy face shall I be hid, and shalbe a vagabond, and a runnagate in the earth, and whosoeuer findeth me, shall slay me. 
\verseNumber{15}Then the Lord said vnto him, Doubtlesse whosoeuer slayeth Kain, he shalbe punished seue folde. And the Lord set a marke vpon Kain, lest any man finding him should kill him. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Kain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod towarde the Eastside of Eden. 
\verseNumber{17}Kain also knewe his wife, which conceiued and bare Henoch: and he built a citie, and called the name of the citie by ye name of his sonne, Henoch. 
\verseNumber{18}And to Henoch was borne Irad, and Irad begate Mehuiael, and Mehuiael begate Methushael, and Methushael begate Lamech. 
\verseNumber{19}And Lamech tooke him two wiues: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. 
\verseNumber{20}And Adah bare Iabal, who was the father of such as dwell in the tents, and of such as haue cattell. 
\verseNumber{21}And his brothers name was Iubal, who was the father of all that play on the harpe and organes. 
\verseNumber{22}And Zillah also bare Tubal-kain, who wrought cunningly euery craft of brasse and of yron: and the sister of Tubal-kain was Naamah. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Lamech saide vnto his wiues Adah and Zillah, Heare my voyce, ye wiues of Lamech: hearken vnto my speach: for I would slay a man in my wound, and a yong man in mine hurt. 
\verseNumber{24}If Kain shalbe auenged seuen folde, truely Lamech, seuentie times seuen folde. 
\verseNumber{25}And Adam knewe his wife againe, and she bare a sonne, and she called his name Sheth: for God, saide she, hath appointed me another seede for Habel, because Kain slewe him. 
\verseNumber{26}And to ye same Sheth also there was borne a sonne, and he called his name Enosh. Then beganne men to call vpon the name of the Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}This is the booke of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created Adam, in the likenes of God made he him, 
\verseNumber{2}Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day that they were created. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe Adam liued an hundred and thirtie yeeres, and begate a childe in his owne likenes after his image, and called his name Sheth. 
\verseNumber{4}And the dayes of Adam, after he had begotten Sheth, were eight hundreth yeeres, and he begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{5}So all the dayes that Adam liued, were nine hundreth and thirtie yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{6}And Sheth liued an hundreth and fiue yeeres, and begate Enosh. 
\verseNumber{7}And Sheth liued, after he begate Enosh, eight hundreth and seuen yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{8}So all the dayes of Sheth were nine hundreth and twelue yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{9}Also Enosh liued ninetie yeeres, and begate Kenan. 
\verseNumber{10}And Enosh liued, after he begate Kenan, eight hundreth and fifteene yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{11}So all the dayes of Enosh were nine hundreth and fiue yeeres: and he died 
\verseNumber{12}Likewise Kenan liued seuentie yeeres, and begate Mahalaleel. 
\verseNumber{13}And Kenan liued, after he begate Mahalaleel, eight hundreth and fourtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{14}So all the dayes of Kenan were nine hundreth and tenne yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{15}Mahalaleel also liued sixtie and fiue yeres, and begate Iered. 
\verseNumber{16}Also Mahalaleel liued, after he begate Iered, eight hundreth and thirtie yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{17}So all the dayes of Mahalaleel were eight hundreth ninetie and fiue yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{18}And Iered liued an hundreth sixtie and two yeeres, and begate Henoch. 
\verseNumber{19}Then Iered liued, after he begate Henoch, eight hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{20}So all the dayes of Iered were nine hundreth sixtie and two yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{21}Also Henoch liued sixtie and fiue yeeres, and begate Methushelah. 
\verseNumber{22}And Henoch walked with God, after he begate Methushelah, three hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{23}So all the dayes of Henoch were three hundreth sixtie and fiue yeeres. 
\verseNumber{24}And Henoch walked with God, and he was no more seene: for God tooke him away. 
\verseNumber{25}Methushelah also liued an hundreth eightie and seuen yeeres, and begate Lamech. 
\verseNumber{26}And Methushelah liued, after he begate Lamech, seuen hundreth eightie and two yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{27}So al the dayes of Methushelah were nine hundreth sixtie and nine yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Lamech liued an hundreth eightie and two yeeres, and begate a sonne, 
\verseNumber{29}And called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort vs concerning our worke and sorowe of our hands, as touching the earth, which the Lord hath cursed. 
\verseNumber{30}And Lamech liued, after he begate Noah, fiue hundreth ninetie and fiue yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters. 
\verseNumber{31}So all the dayes of Lamech were seuen hundreth seuentie and seuen yeeres: and he died. 
\verseNumber{32}And Noah was fiue hundreth yeere olde. And Noah begate Shem, Ham and Iapheth. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}So when men began to be multiplied vpon the earth, and there were daughters borne vnto them, 
\verseNumber{2}Then the sonnes of God sawe the daughters of men that they were faire, and they tooke them wiues of all that they liked. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore the Lord saide, My Spirit shall not alway striue with man, because he is but flesh, and his dayes shalbe an hundreth and twentie yeeres. 
\verseNumber{4}There were gyants in the earth in those dayes: yea, and after that the sonnes of God came vnto the daughters of men, and they had borne them children, these were mightie men, which in olde time were men of renoume. 
\verseNumber{5}When the Lord sawe that the wickednesse of man was great in the earth, and all the imaginations of the thoughtes of his heart were onely euill continually, 
\verseNumber{6}Then it repented ye Lord, that he had made man in the earth, and he was sorie in his heart. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore ye Lord said, I will destroy from the earth the man, whom I haue created, from man to beast, to the creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: for I repent that I haue made them. 
\verseNumber{8}But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a iust and vpright man in his time: and Noah walked with God. 
\verseNumber{10}And Noah begate three sonnes, Shem, Ham and Iapheth. 
\verseNumber{11}The earth also was corrupt before God: for the earth was filled with crueltie. 
\verseNumber{12}Then God looked vpon the earth, and beholde, it was corrupt: for all flesh had corrupt his way vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{13}And God said vnto Noah, An ende of all flesh is come before me: for the earth is filled with crueltie through them: and beholde, I wil destroy them with the earth. 
\verseNumber{14}Make thee an Arke of pine trees: thou shalt make cabines in the Arke, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 
\verseNumber{15}And thus shalt thou make it: The length of the Arke shalbe three hundreth cubites, the breadth of it fiftie cubites, and the height of it thirtie cubites. 
\verseNumber{16}A windowe shalt thou make in the Arke, and in a cubite shalt thou finish it aboue, and the doore of the Arke shalt thou set in the side thereof: thou shalt make it with the lowe, seconde and third roume. 
\verseNumber{17}And I, beholde, I will bring a flood of waters vpon the earth to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life vnder the heauen: all that is in the earth shall perish. 
\verseNumber{18}But with thee will I establish my couenant, and thou shalt goe into the Arke, thou, and thy sonnes, and thy wife, and thy sonnes wiues with thee. 
\verseNumber{19}And of euery liuing thing, of all flesh two of euery sort shalt thou cause to come into the Arke, to keepe them aliue with thee: they shalbe male and female. 
\verseNumber{20}Of the foules, after their kinde, and of the cattell after their kind, of euery creeping thing of the earth after his kinde, two of euery sort shall come vnto thee, that thou mayest keepe them aliue. 
\verseNumber{21}And take thou with thee of all meate that is eaten: and thou shalt gather it to thee, that it may be meate for thee and for them. 
\verseNumber{22}Noah therefore did according vnto all, that God commanded him: euen so did he. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}And the Lord said vnto Noah, Enter thou and all thine house into the Arke: for thee haue I seene righteous before me in this age. 
\verseNumber{2}Of euery cleane beast thou shalt take to thee by seuens, the male and his female: but of vncleane beastes by couples, the male and his female. 
\verseNumber{3}Of the foules also of the heauen by seuens, male and female, to keepe seede aliue vpon the whole earth. 
\verseNumber{4}For seuen dayes hence I will cause it raine vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, and all the substance that I haue made, will I destroy from off the earth. 
\verseNumber{5}Noah therefore did according vnto all that the Lord commanded him. 
\verseNumber{6}And Noah was sixe hundreth yeeres olde, when the flood of waters was vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{7}So Noah entred and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him into the Arke, because of the waters of the flood. 
\verseNumber{8}Of the cleane beastes, and of the vncleane beastes, and of the foules, and of all that creepeth vpon the earth, 
\verseNumber{9}There came two and two vnto Noah into the Arke, male and female, as God had commanded Noah. 
\verseNumber{10}And so after seuen dayes the waters of the flood were vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{11}In the sixe hundreth yeere of Noahs life in the second moneth, the seuetenth day of the moneth, in the same day were all the fountaines of the great deepe broken vp, and the windowes of heauen were opened, 
\verseNumber{12}And the raine was vpon the earth fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes. 
\verseNumber{13}In the selfe same day entred Noah with Shem, and Ham and Iapheth, the sonnes of Noah, and Noahs wife, and the three wiues of his sonnes with them into the Arke. 
\verseNumber{14}They and euery beast after his kinde, and all cattell after their kinde, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth after his kinde, and euery foule after his kinde, euen euery bird of euery fether. 
\verseNumber{15}For they came to Noah into ye Arke, two and two, of all flesh wherein is ye breath of life. 
\verseNumber{16}And they entring in, came male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in. 
\verseNumber{17}Then ye flood was fourtie dayes vpon the earth, and the waters were increased, and bare vp the Arke, which was lift vp aboue the earth. 
\verseNumber{18}The waters also waxed strong, and were increased exceedingly vpon the earth, and the Arke went vpon the waters. 
\verseNumber{19}The waters preuailed so exceedingly vpon the earth, that all the high mountaines, that are vnder the whole heauen, were couered. 
\verseNumber{20}Fifteene cubites vpwarde did the waters preuaile, when the mountaines were couered. 
\verseNumber{21}Then all flesh perished that moued vpon the earth, both foule and cattell and beast, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, and euery man. 
\verseNumber{22}Euery thing in whose nostrels the spirit of life did breathe, whatsoeuer they were in the drie land, they died. 
\verseNumber{23}So he destroyed euery thing that was vpon the earth, from man to beast, to ye creeping thing, and to the foule of the heauen: they were euen destroyed from the earth. And Noah onely remained; and they that were with him in ye Arke. 
\verseNumber{24}And the waters preuailed vpon the earth an hundreth and fiftie dayes. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{8}Now God remembred Noah and euery beast, and all the cattell that was with him in the Arke: therefore God made a winde to passe vpon the earth, and the waters ceased. 
\verseNumber{2}The fountaines also of the deepe and the windowes of heauen were stopped and the raine from heauen was restrained, 
\verseNumber{3}And the waters returned from aboue the earth, going and returning: and after the ende of the hundreth and fiftieth day the waters abated. 
\verseNumber{4}And in the seuenth moneth, in the seuenteenth day of the moneth, the Arke rested vpon the mountaines of Ararat. 
\verseNumber{5}And the waters were going and decreasing vntill the tenth moneth: in the tenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth were the toppes of the mountaines seene. 
\verseNumber{6}So after fourtie dayes, Noah opened the windowe of the Arke, which he had made, 
\verseNumber{7}And sent forth a rauen, which went out going forth and returning, vntill the waters were dried vp vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{8}Againe he sent a doue from him, that he might see if the waters were diminished from off the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}But the doue found no rest for the sole of her foote: therefore she returned vnto him into the Arke (for the waters were vpon the whole earth) and he put forth his hand, and receiued her, and tooke her to him into the Arke. 
\verseNumber{10}And he abode yet other seuen dayes, and againe he sent forth the doue out of the Arke. 
\verseNumber{11}And the doue came to him in ye euening, and loe, in her mouth was an oliue leafe that she had pluckt: whereby Noah knewe that the waters were abated from off the earth. 
\verseNumber{12}Notwithstanding he wayted yet other seuen dayes, and sent forth the doue, which returned not againe vnto him any more. 
\verseNumber{13}And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere, in the first day of the first moneth the waters were dryed vp from off the earth: and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie. 
\verseNumber{14}And in the second moneth, in the seuen and twentieth day of the moneth was the earth drie. 
\verseNumber{15}Then God spake to Noah, saying, 
\verseNumber{16}Goe forth of the Arke, thou and thy wife, and thy sonnes and thy sonnes wiues with thee. 
\verseNumber{17}Bring forth with thee euery beast that is with thee, of all flesh, both foule and cattell, and euery thing that creepeth and moueth vpon the earth, that they may breede abundantly in ye earth, and bring forth fruite and increase vpon ye earth. 
\verseNumber{18}So Noah came forth, and his sonnes, and his wife, and his sonnes wiues with him. 
\verseNumber{19}Euery beast, euery creeping thing, and euery foule, all that moueth vpon the earth after their kindes went out of the Arke. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and tooke of euery cleane beast, and of euery cleane foule, and offered burnt offerings vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord smellled a sauour of rest, and the Lord said in his heart, I will hencefoorth curse the ground no more for mans cause: for the imagination of mans heart is euill, euen from his youth: neither will I smite any more all things liuing, as I haue done. 
\verseNumber{22}Hereafter seede time and haruest, and colde and heate, and sommer and winter, and day and night shall not cease, so long as ye earth remaineth.

\chapterNumber{9}And God blessed Noah and his sonnes, and said to them, Bring foorth fruite, and multiplie, and replenish the earth. 
\verseNumber{2}Also the feare of you, and the dread of you shalbe vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery foule of the heauen, vpon all that moueth on the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea: into your hand are they deliuered. 
\verseNumber{3}Euery thing that moueth and liueth, shall be meate for you: as the greene herbe, haue I giuen you all things. 
\verseNumber{4}But flesh with the life thereof, I meane, with the blood thereof, shall ye not eate. 
\verseNumber{5}For surely I will require your blood, wherein your liues are: at the hand of euery beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, euen at the hand of a mans brother will I require the life of man. 
\verseNumber{6}Who so sheadeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God hath he made man. 
\verseNumber{7}But bring ye forth fruite and multiplie: grow plentifully in the earth, and increase therein. 
\verseNumber{8}God spake also to Noah and to his sonnes with him, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}Behold, I, euen I establish my couenant with you, and with your seede after you, 
\verseNumber{10}And with euery liuing creature that is with you, with the foule, with the cattell, and with euery beast of the earth with you, from all that goe out of the Arke, vnto euery beast of the earth. 
\verseNumber{11}And my couenant will I establish with you, that from henceforth all flesh shall not be rooted out by ye waters of the flood, neither shall there be a flood to destroy the earth any more. 
\verseNumber{12}Then God saide, This is the token of the couenant which I make betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing, that is with you vnto perpetuall generations. 
\verseNumber{13}I haue set my bowe in the cloude, and it shalbe for a signe of the couenant betweene me and the earth. 
\verseNumber{14}And when I shall couer the earth with a cloud, and the bowe shall be seene in the cloude, 
\verseNumber{15}Then will I remember my couenant, which is betweene me and you, and betweene euery liuing thing in all flesh, and there shalbe no more waters of a flood to destroy all flesh. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore the bowe shalbe in the cloude, that I may see it, and remember the euerlasting couenant betweene God, and euery liuing thing in all flesh that is vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{17}God said yet to Noah, This is the signe of the couenant, which I haue established betweene me and all flesh that is vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe the sonnes of Noah going foorth of the Arke, were Shem and Ham and Iapheth. And Ham is the father of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{19}These are the three sonnes of Noah, and of them was the whole earth ouerspred. 
\verseNumber{20}Noah also began to be an husband man and planted a vineyard. 
\verseNumber{21}And he drunke of ye wine and was drunken, and was vncouered in the middes of his tent. 
\verseNumber{22}And when Ham the father of Canaan sawe the nakednesse of his father, he tolde his two brethren without. 
\verseNumber{23}Then tooke Shem and Iapheth a garment, and put it vpon both their shoulders, and went backwarde, and couered the nakednesse of their father with their faces backwarde: so they sawe not their fathers nakednesse. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his yonger sonne had done vnto him, 
\verseNumber{25}And said, Cursed be Canaan: a seruant of seruants shall he be vnto his brethren. 
\verseNumber{26}He said moreouer, blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant. 
\verseNumber{27}God perswade Iapheth, that he may dwell in the tentes of Shem, and let Canaan be his seruant. 
\verseNumber{28}And Noah liued after the flood three hundreth and fiftie yeeres. 
\verseNumber{29}So all the dayes of Noah were nine hundreth and fiftie yeeres: and he died. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{10}Now these are the generations of the sonnes of Noah, Shem, Ham and Iapheth: vnto whom sonnes were borne after the flood. 
\verseNumber{2}The sonnes of Iapheth were Gomer and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 
\verseNumber{3}And the sonnes of Gomer, Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 
\verseNumber{4}Also the sonnes of Iauan, Elishah and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

\verseNumber{8}And Cush begate Nimrod, who began to be mightie in the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}He was a mightie hunter before the Lord. wherefore it is saide, As Nimrod the mightie hunter before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}And the beginning of his kingdome was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 
\verseNumber{11}Out of that land came Asshur, and builded Niniueh, and the citie Rehoboth, and Calah: 
\verseNumber{12}Resen also betweene Niniueh and Calah: this is a great citie. 
\verseNumber{13}And Mizraim begate Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim.

\verseNumber{16}And Iebusi, and Emori, and Girgashi, 
\verseNumber{17}And Hiui, and Arki, and Sini, 
\verseNumber{18}And Aruadi, and Zemari, and Hamathi: and afterwarde were the families of the Canaanites spred abroade. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the border of the Canaanites was from Zidon, as thou commest to Gerar vntil Azzah, and as thou goest vnto Sodom, and Gomorah, and Admah, and Zeboijm, euen vnto Lasha. 
\verseNumber{20}These are the sonnes of Ham according to their families, according to their tongues in their countries and in their nations. 
\verseNumber{21}Vnto Shem also the father of all the sonnes of Eber, and elder brother of Iapheth were children borne. 
\verseNumber{22}The sonnes of Shem were Elam and Asshur, and Arpachshad, and Lud, and Aram.

\verseNumber{24}Also Arpachshad begate Shelah, and Shelah begate Eber. 
\verseNumber{25}Vnto Eber also were borne two sonnes: the name of the one was Peleg: for in his dayes was the earth diuided: and his brothers name was Ioktan. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Ioktan begate Almodad and Sheleph, and Hazarmaueth, and Ierah,

\verseNumber{28}And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 
\verseNumber{29}And Ophir, and Hauilah, and Iobab: all these were the sonnes of Ioktan. 
\verseNumber{30}And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest vnto Sephar a mount of the East. 
\verseNumber{31}These are the sonnes of Shem according to their families, according to their tongues, in their countreis and nations. 
\verseNumber{32}These are the families of the sonnes of Noah, after their generations among their people: and out of these were the nations diuided in the earth after the flood.

\chapterNumber{11}Then the whole earth was of one language and one speache. 
\verseNumber{2}And as they went from the East, they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and there they abode. 
\verseNumber{3}And they said one to another, Come, let vs make bricke, and burne it in the fire. So they had bricke for stone, and slime had they in steade of morter. 
\verseNumber{4}Also they said, Goe to, let vs builde vs a citie and a towre, whose top may reache vnto the heauen, that we may get vs a name, lest we be scattered vpon the whole earth. 
\verseNumber{5}But the Lord came downe, to see the citie and towre, which the sonnes of men builded. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord said, Beholde, the people is one, and they all haue one language, and this they begin to doe, neither can they now be stopped from whatsoeuer they haue imagined to do. 
\verseNumber{7}Come on, let vs goe downe, and there confound their language, that euery one perceiue not anothers speache. 
\verseNumber{8}So ye Lord scattered them from thence vpon all the earth, and they left off to build the citie. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore the name of it was called Babel, because the Lord did there confounde the language of all the earth: from thence then did the Lord scatter them vpon all the earth. 
\verseNumber{10}These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundreth yeere olde, and begate Arpachshad two yeere after the flood. 
\verseNumber{11}And Shem liued, after he begate Arpachshad, fiue hundreth yeeres, and begate sonnes and daughters.

\verseNumber{27}Nowe these are the generations of Terah: Terah begate Abram, Nahor, and Haran: and Haran begate Lot. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Haran died before Terah his father in the land of his natiuitie, in Vr of the Caldees. 
\verseNumber{29}So Abram and Nahor tooke them wiues. The name of Abrams wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahors wife Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah. 
\verseNumber{30}But Sarai was barren, and had no childe. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Terah tooke Abram his sonne, and Lot the sonne of Haran, his sonnes sonne, and Sarai his daughter in lawe, his sonne Abrams wife: and they departed together from Vr of the Caldees, to goe into the land of Canaan, and they came to Haran, and dwelt there.

\chapterNumber{12}For the Lord had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and from thy fathers house vnto the land that I will shewe thee. 
\verseNumber{2}And I will make of thee a great nation, and will blesse thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. 
\verseNumber{3}I will also blesse them that blesse thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 
\verseNumber{4}So Abram departed, euen as ye Lord spake vnto him, and Lot went with him. (And Abram was seuentie and fiue yeere olde, when he departed out of Haran) 
\verseNumber{5}Then Abram tooke Sarai his wife, and Lot his brothers sonne, and all their substance that they possessed, and the soules that they had gotten in Haran, and they departed, to goe to the land of Canaan: and to the land of Canaan they came. 
\verseNumber{6}So Abram passed through the land vnto the place of Shechem, and vnto the plaine of Moreh (and the Canaanite was then in ye land) 
\verseNumber{7}And the Lord appeared vnto Abram, and said, Vnto thy seede will I giue this land. And there builded he an altar vnto the Lord, which appeared vnto him. 
\verseNumber{8}Afterward remouing thence vnto a moutaine Eastward from Beth-el, he pitched his tent hauing Beth-el on the Westside, and Haai on the East: and there he built an altar vnto the Lord, and called on the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}Againe Abram went forth going and iourneying toward the South. 
\verseNumber{10}Then there came a famine in the land: therefore Abram went downe into Egypt to soiourne there: for there was a great famine in the lande. 
\verseNumber{11}And when he drewe neere to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, Beholde nowe, I know that thou art a faire woman to looke vpon: 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore it will come to passe, that when the Egyptians see thee, they will say, She is his wife: so will they kill me, but they will keepe thee aliue. 
\verseNumber{13}Say, I pray thee, that thou art my sister, that I may fare well for thy sake, and that my life may be preserued by thee.

\verseNumber{15}And the Princes of Pharaoh sawe her, and commended her vnto Pharaoh: so the woman was taken into Pharaohs house: 
\verseNumber{16}Who intreated Abram well for her sake, and he had sheepe, and beeues, and hee asses, and men seruants and maide seruants, and shee asses, and camelles. 
\verseNumber{17}But the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues, because of Sarai Abrams wife. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Pharaoh called Abram, and saide, Why hast thou done this vnto me? Wherefore diddest thou not tell me, that she was thy wife? 
\verseNumber{19}Why saidest thou, She is my sister, that I should take her to be my wife? Nowe therefore beholde thy wife, take her and goe thy way.

\verseNumber{4}Vnto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}And Lot also, who went with Abram, had sheepe, and cattell and tentes, 
\verseNumber{6}So that the land coulde not beare them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they coulde not dwell together. 
\verseNumber{7}Also there was debate betweene ye heardmen of Abrams cattell, and the heardmen of Lots cattell. (and the Canaanites and the Perizzites dwelled at that time in the land.) 
\verseNumber{8}Then saide Abram vnto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, betweene thee and me, neither betweene mine heardmen and thine heardmen: for we be brethren. 
\verseNumber{9}Is not the whole land before thee? depart I pray thee from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will goe to the right: or if thou goe to the right hand, then I will take the left. 
\verseNumber{10}So when Lot lifted vp his eyes, he saw that all the plaine of Iorden was watered euery where: (for before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorah, it was as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou goest vnto Zoar) 
\verseNumber{11}Then Lot chose vnto him all the plaine of Iorden, and tooke his iourney from the East: and they departed the one from the other. 
\verseNumber{12}Abram dwelled in the lande of Canaan, and Lot abode in the cities of the plaine, and pitched his tent euen to Sodom. 
\verseNumber{13}Now the men of Sodom were wicked and exceeding sinners against the Lord.

\verseNumber{3}Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Beholde, I make my couenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations, 
\verseNumber{5}Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.

\verseNumber{18}And Abraham saide vnto God, Oh, that Ishmael might liue in thy sight. 
\verseNumber{19}Then God saide, Sarah thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, and thou shalt call his name Izhak: and I will establish my couenant with him for an euerlasting couenant, and with his seede after him.

\chapterNumber{19}And in the euening there came two Angels to Sodom: and Lot sate at the gate of Sodom, and Lot sawe them, and rose vp to meete them, and he bowed himselfe with his face to the ground. 
\verseNumber{2}And he saide, See my Lords, I pray you turne in nowe into your seruants house, and tarie all night, and wash your feete, and ye shall rise vp early and goe your wayes. Who saide, Nay, but we will abide in the streete all night. 
\verseNumber{3}Then he preassed vpon them earnestly, and they turned in to him, and came to his house, and he made them a feast, and did bake vnleauened bread, and they did eate. 
\verseNumber{4}But before they went to bed, the men of the citie, euen the men of Sodom compassed the house rounde about from the yong euen to the olde, all the people from all quarters. 
\verseNumber{5}Who crying vnto Lot said to him, Where are the men, which came to thee this night? bring them out vnto vs that we may knowe them. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Lot went out at the doore vnto them, and shut the doore after him, 
\verseNumber{7}And said, I pray you, my brethren, do not so wickedly. 
\verseNumber{8}Beholde nowe, I haue two daughters, which haue not knowen man: them will I bring out now vnto you, and doe to them as seemeth you good: onely vnto these men doe nothing: for therefore are they come vnder the shadowe of my roofe.

\verseNumber{10}But the men put forth their hand and pulled Lot into the house to them and shut to ye doore. 
\verseNumber{11}Then they smote the men that were at the doore of the house with blindnes both small and great, so that they were wearie in seeking the doore. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the men said vnto Lot, Whom hast thou yet here? either sonne in lawe, or thy sonnes, or thy daughters, or whatsoeuer thou hast in the citie, bring it out of this place. 
\verseNumber{13}For we will destroy this place, because the crye of them is great before the Lord, and the Lord hath sent vs to destroy it. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Lot went out and spake vnto his sonnes in lawe, which maried his daughters, and said, Arise, get you out of this place: for the Lord will destroy the citie: but he seemed to his sonnes in lawe as though he had mocked. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the morning arose, the Angels hasted Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife and thy two daughters which are here, lest thou be destroyed in the punishment of the citie. 
\verseNumber{16}And as he prolonged the time, the men caught both him and his wife, and his two daughters by the hands (the Lord being mercifull vnto him) and they brought him foorth, and set him without the citie. 
\verseNumber{17}And when they had brought them out, the Angel said, Escape for thy life: looke not behinde thee, neither tarie thou in all the plaine: escape into ye mountaine, least thou be destroyed. 
\verseNumber{18}And Lot saide vnto them, Not so, I pray thee, my Lord. 
\verseNumber{19}Behold now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercie, which thou hast shewed vnto me in sauing my life: and I cannot escape in the mountaine, least some euill take me, and I die. 
\verseNumber{20}See nowe this citie hereby to flee vnto, which is a litle one: Oh let me escape thither: is it not a litle one, and my soule shall liue? 
\verseNumber{21}Then he said vnto him, Beholde, I haue receiued thy request also concerning this thing, that I will not ouerthrow this citie, for the which thou hast spoken. 
\verseNumber{22}Haste thee, saue thee there: for I can doe nothing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the citie was called Zoar. 
\verseNumber{23}The sunne did rise vpon the earth, when Lot entred into Zoar. 
\verseNumber{24}Then the Lord rained vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorah brimstone, and fire from the Lord out of heauen, 
\verseNumber{25}And ouerthrewe those cities and all the plaine, and all the inhabitants of the cities; and that that grewe vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{26}Now his wife behind him looked backe, and she became a pillar of salt. 
\verseNumber{27}And Abraham rising vp earely in ye morning went to the place, where he had stand before the Lord, 
\verseNumber{28}And looking towarde Sodom and Gomorah and toward all the land of the plaine, behold, he sawe the smoke of the lande mounting vp as the smoke of a fornace. 
\verseNumber{29}But yet when God destroyed the cities of the plaine, God thought vpon Abraham, and sent Lot out from the middes of the destruction, when he ouerthrewe the cities, wherein Lot dwelled. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Lot went vp from Zoar, and dwelt in the mountaine with his two daughters: for he feared to tarie in Zoar, but dwelt in a caue, he, and his two daughters. 
\verseNumber{31}And the elder saide vnto the yonger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth, to come in vnto vs after the maner of all ye earth. 
\verseNumber{32}Come, wee will make our father drinke wine, and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father. 
\verseNumber{33}So they made their father drinke wine that night, and the elder went and lay with her father: but he perceiued not, neither whe she lay downe, neither when she rose vp. 
\verseNumber{34}And on the morowe the elder saide to the yonger, Behold, yester night lay I with my father: let vs make him drinke wine this night also, and goe thou and lie with him, that we may preserue seede of our father.

\chapterNumber{20}Afterward Abraham departed thence toward the South countrey and dwelled betweene Cadesh and Shur, and soiourned in Gerar.

\verseNumber{3}But God came to Abimelech in a dreame by night, and said to him, Beholde, thou art but dead, because of the woman, which thou hast taken: for she is a mans wife. 
\verseNumber{4}(Notwithstanding Abimelech had not yet come neere her) And he said, Lord, wilt thou slay euen the righteous nation?

\verseNumber{7}Now then deliuer the man his wife againe: for he is a Prophet, and he shall pray for thee that thou mayest liue: but if thou deliuer her not againe, be sure that thou shalt die the death, thou, and all that thou hast.

\verseNumber{10}So Abimelech said vnto Abraham, What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing? 
\verseNumber{11}Then Abraham answered, Because I thought thus, Surely the feare of God is not in this place, and they will slay me for my wiues sake. 
\verseNumber{12}Yet in very deede she is my sister: for she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she is my wife. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe when God caused me to wander out of my fathers house, I said then to her, This is thy kindnes that thou shalt shewe vnto me in all places where we come, Say thou of me, He is my brother.

\verseNumber{16}Likewise to Sarah he said, Beholde, I haue giuen thy brother a thousand pieces of siluer: behold, he is the vaile of thine eyes to all that are with thee, and to all others: and she was thus reproued. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Abraham prayed vnto God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his women seruants: and they bare children.

\verseNumber{4}Then Abraham circumcised Izhak his sonne, when he was eight dayes olde, as God had commanded him. 
\verseNumber{5}So Abraham was an hundreth yeere olde, when his sonne Izhak was borne vnto him. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Sarah said, God hath made me to reioyce: all that heare will reioyce with me. 
\verseNumber{7}Againe she said, Who would haue saide to Abraham, that Sarah shoulde haue giuen children sucke? for I haue borne him a sonne in his olde age. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the childe grewe and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Izhak was weaned. 
\verseNumber{9}And Sarah sawe the sonne of Hagar the Egyptian (which she had borne vnto Abraham) mocking. 
\verseNumber{10}Wherefore she saide vnto Abraham, Cast out this bond woman and her sonne: for ye sonne of this bonde woman shall not be heire with my sonne Izhak. 
\verseNumber{11}And this thing was very grieuous in Abrahams sight, because of his sonne. 
\verseNumber{12}But God said vnto Abraham, Let it not be grieuous in thy sight for the childe, and for thy bonde woman: in all that Sarah shall say vnto thee, heare her voyce: for in Izhak shall thy seede be called. 
\verseNumber{13}As for the sonne of the bond woman, I will make him a nation also, because he is thy seede. 
\verseNumber{14}So Abraham arose vp early in ye morning, and tooke bread, and a bottell of water, and gaue it vnto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the childe also, and sent her away: who departing wandred in the wildernesse of Beer-sheba. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the water of the bottell was spent, she cast the childe vnder a certaine tree. 
\verseNumber{16}Then she went and sate her ouer against him a farre off about a bowe shoote: for she said, I will not see the death of the child. and she sate downe ouer against him, and lift vp her voyce and wept. 
\verseNumber{17}Then God heard the voyce of ye childe, and the Angel of God called to Hagar from heauen, and said vnto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? feare not, for God hath heard the voyce of the childe where he is. 
\verseNumber{18}Arise, take vp the childe, and holde him in thine hand: for I will make of him a great people. 
\verseNumber{19}And God opened her eyes, and she sawe a well of water. so she went and filled the bottell with water, and gaue the boy drinke. 
\verseNumber{20}So God was with the childe, and he grewe and dwelt in the wildernesse, and was an archer. 
\verseNumber{21}And he dwelt in the wildernesse of Paran, and his mother tooke him a wife out of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{22}And at that same time Abimelech and Phichol his chief captaine spake vnto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe therefore sweare vnto me here by God, that thou wilt not hurt me, nor my children, nor my childrens children: thou shalt deale with me, and with the countrey, where thou hast bene a stranger, according vnto the kindnesse that I haue shewed thee. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Abraham said, I will sweare. 
\verseNumber{25}And Abraham rebuked Abimelech for a well of water, which Abimelechs seruants had violently taken away. 
\verseNumber{26}And Abimelech saide, I knowe not who hath done this thing: also thou toldest me not, neither heard I of it but this day. 
\verseNumber{27}Then Abraham tooke sheepe and beeues, and gaue them vnto Abimelech: and they two made a couenant. 
\verseNumber{28}And Abraham set seuen lambes of the flocke by themselues.

\verseNumber{9}And when they came to the place which God had shewed him, Abraham builded an altar there, and couched ye wood, and bound Izhak his sonne and laid him on the altar vpon the wood. 
\verseNumber{10}And Abraham stretching forth his hand, tooke the knife to kill his sonne.

\verseNumber{13}And Abraham lifting vp his eyes, looked: and behold, there was a ramme behind him caught by the hornes in a bush. then Abraham went and tooke the ramme, and offered him vp for a burnt offering in the steade of his sonne.

\chapterNumber{23}When Sarah was an hundreth twentie and seuen yeere olde (so long liued she). 
\verseNumber{2}Then Sarah dyed in Kiriath-arba: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. and Abraham came to mourne for Sarah and to weepe for her. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Abraham rose vp from the sight of his corps, and talked with the Hittites, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}I am a stranger, and a forreiner among you, giue me a possession of buriall with you, that I may burie my dead out of my sight. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the Hittites answered Abraham, saying vnto him, 
\verseNumber{6}Heare vs, my lorde: thou art a prince of God among vs: in the chiefest of our sepulchres bury thy dead: none of vs shall forbid thee his sepulchre, but thou mayest bury thy dead therein. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Abraham stoode vp, and bowed him selfe before the people of the land of the Hittites. 
\verseNumber{8}And he communed with them, saying, If it be your minde, that I shall bury my dead out of my sight, heare me, and intreate for me to Ephron the sonne of Zohar, 
\verseNumber{9}That he would giue me ye caue of Machpelah, which he hath in the ende of his field: that he would giue it me for as much money as it is worth, for a possession to bury in among you. 
\verseNumber{10}(For Ephron dwelt among the Hittites) Then Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of all the Hittites that went in at the gates of his citie, saying, 
\verseNumber{11}No, my Lord, heare me: the fielde giue I thee, and the caue, that therein is, I giue it thee: euen in the presence of the sonnes of my people giue I it thee, to bury thy dead. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Abraham bowed himselfe before the people of the land, 
\verseNumber{13}And spake vnto Ephron in the audience of the people of the countrey, saying, Seeing thou wilt giue it, I pray thee, heare me, I will giue the price of the fielde: receiue it of me, and I will bury my dead there. 
\verseNumber{14}Ephron then answered Abraham, saying vnto him, 
\verseNumber{15}My lord, hearken vnto me: ye land is worth foure hundreth shekels of siluer: what is that betweene me and thee? bury therefore thy dead. 
\verseNumber{16}So Abraham hearkened vnto Ephron, and Abraham weyed to Ephron the siluer, which he had named, in the audience of the Hittites, euen foure hundreth siluer shekels of currant money among marchants. 
\verseNumber{17}So the fielde of Ephron which was in Machpelah, and ouer against Mamre, euen the field and the caue that was therein, and all the trees that were in the fielde, which were in all the borders round about, was made sure 
\verseNumber{18}Vnto Abraham for a possession, in ye sight of the Hittites, euen of all that went in at the gates of his citie. 
\verseNumber{19}And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah ouer against Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{20}Thus the fielde and the caue, that is therein, was made sure vnto Abraham for a possession of buriall by the Hittites.

\chapterNumber{24}Nowe Abraham was olde, and striken in yeeres, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 
\verseNumber{2}Therefore Abraham saide vnto his eldest seruant of his house, which had the rule ouer all that he had, Put nowe thine hand vnder my thigh, 
\verseNumber{3}And I will make thee sweare by ye Lord God of the heauen, and God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife vnto my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites among who I dwel. 
\verseNumber{4}But thou shalt go vnto my countrey, and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sone Izhak. 
\verseNumber{5}And the seruant saide to him, What if the woman will not come with me to this land? shall I bring thy sonne againe vnto the lande from whence thou camest? 
\verseNumber{6}To whom Abraham answered, Beware that thou bring not my sonne thither againe. 
\verseNumber{7}The Lord God of heauen, who tooke me from my fathers house, and from the land where I was borne, and that spake vnto me, and that sware vnto me, saying, Vnto thy seede wil I giue this land, he shall send his Angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife vnto my sonne from thence. 
\verseNumber{8}Neuertheles if the woman wil not follow thee, then shalt thou bee discharged of this mine othe: onely bring not my sonne thither againe. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the seruant put his hand vnder the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him for this matter. 
\verseNumber{10}So the seruant tooke ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed: (for he had all his masters goods in his hand:) and so he arose, and went to Aram Naharaim, vnto the citie of Nahor. 
\verseNumber{11}And he made his camels to lye downe without the citie by a well of water, at euentide about the time that the women come out to draw water. 
\verseNumber{12}And he said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, I beseech thee, send me good speede this day, and shew mercy vnto my master Abraham. 
\verseNumber{13}Lo, I stand by the well of water, whiles the mens daughters of this citie come out to drawe water. 
\verseNumber{14}Graunt therefore that ye maide, to whom I say, Bowe downe thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinke: if she say, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also: may be she that thou hast ordeined for thy seruant Izhak: and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed mercy on my master. 
\verseNumber{15}And nowe yer he had left speaking, beholde, Rebekah came out, the daughter of Bethuel, sonne of Milcah the wife of Nahor Abrahams brother, and her pitcher vpon her shoulder. 
\verseNumber{16}(And the maide was very faire to looke vpon, a virgine and vnknowen of man) and she went downe to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came vp. 
\verseNumber{17}Then the seruant ranne to meete her, and said, Let me drinke, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher. 
\verseNumber{18}And she said, Drinke sir: and she hasted, and let downe her pitcher vpon her hand and gaue him drinke. 
\verseNumber{19}And when she had giuen him drinke, she said, I will drawe water for thy camels also vntill they haue drunken inough. 
\verseNumber{20}And she powred out her pitcher into the trough speedily; and ranne againe vnto the well to drawe water, and she drewe for all his camels. 
\verseNumber{21}So the man wondred at her, and helde his peace, to knowe whether the Lord had made his iourney prosperous or not. 
\verseNumber{22}And when the camels had left drinking, the man tooke a golden abillement of halfe a shekell weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of golde: 
\verseNumber{23}And he said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee, Is there roume in thy fathers house for vs to lodge in? 
\verseNumber{24}Then she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the sonne of Milcah whom she bare vnto Nahor. 
\verseNumber{25}Moreouer she said vnto him, We haue litter also and prouender ynough, and roume to lodge in. 
\verseNumber{26}And the man bowed himselfe and worshipped the Lord, 
\verseNumber{27}And said, Blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham, which hath not withdrawen his mercie and his trueth from my master: for when I was in the way, the Lord brought me to my masters brethrens house. 
\verseNumber{28}And the maide ranne and tolde them of her mothers house according to these wordes. 
\verseNumber{29}Now Rebekah had a brother called Laban, and Laban ranne vnto the man to the well. 
\verseNumber{30}For when he had seene the earings and the bracelets in his sisters hands, and when he heard the wordes of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus said the man vnto me, then he went to the man, and loe, he stoode by the camels at the well. 
\verseNumber{31}And he saide, Come in thou blessed of the Lord: wherefore standest thou without, seeing I haue prepared the house, and roume for ye camels? 
\verseNumber{32}Then the man came into the house, and he vnsadled the camels, and brought litter and prouender for the camels, and water to wash his feete, and the mens feete that were with him. 
\verseNumber{33}Afterward the meate was set before him: but he saide, I will not eate, vntill I haue saide my message: And he said, Speake on. 
\verseNumber{34}Then he said, I am Abrahams seruant, 
\verseNumber{35}And the Lord hath blessed my master wonderfully, that he is become great: for he hath giuen him sheepe, and beeues, and siluer, and golde, and men seruants, and maide seruants, and camels, and asses. 
\verseNumber{36}And Sarah my masters wife hath borne a sonne to my master, when she was olde, and vnto him hath he giuen all that he hath. 
\verseNumber{37}Now my master made me sweare, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my sonne of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 
\verseNumber{38}But thou shalt go vnto my fathers house and to my kinred, and take a wife vnto my sonne. 
\verseNumber{39}Then I saide vnto my master, What if the woman will not follow me? 
\verseNumber{40}Who answered me, The Lord, before who I walke, will send his Angel with thee, and prosper thy iourney, and thou shalt take a wife for my sonne of my kinred and my fathers house. 
\verseNumber{41}Then shalt thou be discharged of mine othe, when thou commest to my kinred: and if they giue thee not one, thou shalt be free from mine othe. 
\verseNumber{42}So I came this day to the well, and said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if thou nowe prosper my iourney which I goe, 
\verseNumber{43}Behold, I stand by the well of water: when a virgine commeth forth to drawe water, and I say to her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water of thy pitcher to drinke, 
\verseNumber{44}And she say to me, Drinke thou, and I will also drawe for thy camels, let her be ye wife, which the Lord hath prepared for my masters sonne. 
\verseNumber{45}And before I had made an end of speaking in mine heart, beholde, Rebekah came foorth, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she went downe vnto the well, and drewe water. Then I said vnto her, Giue me drinke, I pray thee. 
\verseNumber{46}And she made haste, and tooke downe her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drinke, and I will giue thy camels drinke also. So I dranke, and she gaue the camels drinke also. 
\verseNumber{47}Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she answered, The daughter of Bethuel Nahors sonne, whom Milcah bare vnto him. Then I put the abillement vpon her face, and the bracelets vpon her hands: 
\verseNumber{48}And I bowed downe and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had brought me the right way to take my masters brothers daughter vnto his sone. 
\verseNumber{49}Now therefore, if ye will deale mercifully and truely with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me that I may turne me to the right hand or to the left. 
\verseNumber{50}Then answered Laban and Bethuel, and said, This thing is proceeded of the Lord: we cannot therefore say vnto thee, neither euill nor good. 
\verseNumber{51}Beholde, Rebehak is before thee, take her and goe, that she may be thy masters sonnes wife, euen as the Lord hath said. 
\verseNumber{52}And when Abrahams seruant heard their wordes, he bowed himselfe toward the earth vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{53}Then the seruant tooke foorth iewels of siluer, and iewels of golde, and raiment, and gaue to Rebekah: also vnto her brother and to her mother he gaue gifts. 
\verseNumber{54}Afterward they did eate and drinke, both he, and the men that were with him, and taried all night. and when they rose vp in the morning, he said, Let me depart vnto my master. 
\verseNumber{55}Then her brother and her mother answered, Let the maide abide with vs, at the least ten dayes: then shall she goe. 
\verseNumber{56}But he said vnto them, Hinder you me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my iourney: send me away, that I may goe to my master. 
\verseNumber{57}Then they said, We will call the maide, and aske her consent. 
\verseNumber{58}And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go. 
\verseNumber{59}So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men. 
\verseNumber{60}And they blessed Rebekah, and sayde vnto her, Thou art our sister, growe into thousande thousands, and thy seede possesse the gate of his enemies. 
\verseNumber{61}Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed. 
\verseNumber{62}Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey) 
\verseNumber{63}And Izhak went out. to pray in the fielde toward the euening: who lift vp his eyes and looked, and behold, the camels came. 
\verseNumber{64}Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel. 
\verseNumber{65}(For shee had sayde to the seruant, Who is yonder man, that commeth in the fielde to meete vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master) So she tooke a vaile, and couered her. 
\verseNumber{66}And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done. 
\verseNumber{67}Afterward Izhak brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he tooke Rebekah, and she was his wife, and he loued her: So Izhak was comforted after his mothers death.

\verseNumber{20}And Izhak was fourtie yeere olde, when he tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramite of Padan Aram, and sister to Laban the Aramite. 
\verseNumber{21}And Izhak prayed vuto the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued, 
\verseNumber{22}But the children stroue together within her: therefore shee sayde, Seeing it is so, why am I thus? wherefore she went to aske the Lord. 
\verseNumber{23}And the Lord sayd to her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shalbe diuided out of thy bowels, and the one people shall be mightier then the other, and the elder shall serue the yonger.

\verseNumber{3}Dwell in this lande, and I will be with thee, and will blesse thee: for to thee, and to thy seede I will giue all these countreys: and I will performe the othe which I sware vnto Abraham thy father. 
\verseNumber{4}Also I wil cause thy seede to multiply as the starres of heauen, and will giue vnto thy seede all these countreys: and in thy seede shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, 
\verseNumber{5}Because that Abraham obeyed my voyce and kept mine ordinance, my commandements, my statutes, and my Lawes. 
\verseNumber{6}So Izhak dwelt in Gerar. 
\verseNumber{7}And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he sayd, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife, least, sayde he, the men of the place shoulde kill me, because of Rebekah: for she was beautifull to the eye. 
\verseNumber{8}So after hee had bene there long time, Abimelech King of the Philistims looked out at a windowe, and loe, he sawe Izhak sporting with Rebekah his wife. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Abimelech called Izhak, and sayde, Loe, shee is of a suertie thy wife, and why saydest thou, She is my sister? To whom Izhak answered, Because I thought this, It may be that I shall dye for her.

\verseNumber{15}In so much that the Philistims stopped and filled vp with earth all the welles, which his fathers seruantes digged in his father Abrahams time. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Abimelech sayde vnto Izhak, Get thee from vs, for thou art mightier then wee a great deale. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore Izhak departed thence and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. 
\verseNumber{18}And Izhak returning, digged the welles of water, which they had digged in the dayes of Abraham his father: for the Philistims had stopped them after the death of Abraham, and hee gaue them the same names, which his father gaue them. 
\verseNumber{19}Izhaks seruantes then digged in the valley, and found there a well of liuing water. 
\verseNumber{20}But the herdmen of Gerar did striue with Izhaks herdmen, saying, The water is ours: therefore called he the name of the well Esek, because they were at strife with him. 
\verseNumber{21}Afterwarde they digged another well, and stroue for that also, and he called the name of it Sitnah. 
\verseNumber{22}Then he remoued thence, and digged an other well, for the which they stroue not: therefore called hee the name of it Rehoboth, and sayde, Because the Lord hath nowe made vs roome, we shall increase vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{23}So he went vp thence to Beer-sheba. 
\verseNumber{24}And the Lord appeared vnto him the same night, and sayde, I am the God of Abraham thy father: feare not, for I am with thee, and wil blesse thee, and will multiplie thy seede for my seruant Abrahams sake. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he builte an altar there, and called vpon the Name of the Lord, and there spred his tent: where also Izhaks seruauntes digged a well. 
\verseNumber{26}Then came Abimelech to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friendes, and Phichol the captaine of his armie. 
\verseNumber{27}To whom Izhak sayd, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate mee and haue put mee away from you? 
\verseNumber{28}Who answered, Wee sawe certainely that the Lord was with thee, and wee thought thus, Let there be nowe an othe betweene vs, euen betweene vs and thee, and let vs make a couenant with thee. 
\verseNumber{29}If thou shalt do vs no hurt, as we haue not touched thee, and as we haue done vnto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou nowe, the blessed of the Lord, doe this.

\verseNumber{13}But his mother sayd vnto him, vpon me be thy curse, my sonne: onely heare my voyce, and go and bring me them.

\verseNumber{31}And hee also prepared sauourie meate and brought it to his father, and sayd vnto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his sonnes venison, that thy soule may blesse me. 
\verseNumber{32}But his father Izhak sayde vnto him, Who art thou? And he answered, I am thy sonne, euen thy first borne Esau. 
\verseNumber{33}Then Izhak was stricken with a marueilous great feare, and sayde, Who and where is hee that hunted venison, and brought it mee, and I haue eate of all before thou camest? and I haue blessed him, therefore he shalbe blessed. 
\verseNumber{34}When Esau heard the wordes of his father, he cryed out with a great crye and bitter, out of measure, and sayde vnto his father, Blesse me, euen me also, my father. 
\verseNumber{35}Who answered, Thy brother came with subtiltie, and hath taken away thy blessing. 
\verseNumber{36}Then he sayde, Was hee not iustly called Iaakob? for hee hath deceiued mee these two times: he tooke my birthright, and loe, nowe hath he taken my blessing. Also he sayd, Hast thou not reserued a blessing for me? 
\verseNumber{37}Then Izhak answered, and sayd vnto Esau, Beholde, I haue made him thy lorde, and all his brethre haue I made his seruants: also with wheate and wine haue I furnished him, and vnto thee now what shall I doe, my sonne? 
\verseNumber{38}Then Esau sayde vnto his father, Hast thou but one blessing my father? blesse mee, euen me also, my father: and Esau lifted vp his voyce, and wept. 
\verseNumber{39}Then Izhak his father answered, and sayde vnto him, Behold, the fatnesse of the earth shall be thy dwelling place, and thou shalt haue of the dewe of heauen from aboue. 
\verseNumber{40}And by thy sword shalt thou liue, and shalt be thy brothers seruant. But it shall come to passe, when thou shalt get the masterie, that thou shalt breake his yoke from thy necke. 
\verseNumber{41}Therefore Esau hated Iaakob, because of the blessing, wherewith his father blessed him. And Esau thought in his minde, The dayes of mourning for my father will come shortly, then I will slay may brother Iaakob. 
\verseNumber{42}And it was told to Rebekah of the wordes of Esau her elder sonne, and shee sent and called Iaakob her yonger sonne, and sayd vnto him, Beholde, thy brother Esau is comforted against thee, meaning to kill thee: 
\verseNumber{43}Now therefore my sonne, heare my voyce, arise, and flee thou to Haran to my brother Laban, 
\verseNumber{44}And tarie with him a while vntill thy brothers fiercenesse be swaged, 
\verseNumber{45}And till thy brothers wrath turne away from thee, and hee forget the thinges, which thou hast done to him: then will I sende and take thee from thence: why shoulde I bee depriued of you both in one day? 
\verseNumber{46}Also Rebekah said to Izhak, I am weary of my life, for the daughters of Heth. If Iaakob take a wife of the daughters of Heth like these of the daughters of the lande, what auaileth it me to liue? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{28}Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not a wife of the daughters of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{2}Arise, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers brother. 
\verseNumber{3}And God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people, 
\verseNumber{4}And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger,) which God gaue vnto Abraham. 
\verseNumber{5}Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus mother. 
\verseNumber{6}When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan, 
\verseNumber{7}And that Iaakob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan Aram: 
\verseNumber{8}Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father, 
\verseNumber{9}Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, to be his wife. 
\verseNumber{10}Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran, 
\verseNumber{11}And he came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same place. 
\verseNumber{12}Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by it. 
\verseNumber{13}And behold, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede. 
\verseNumber{14}And thy seede shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the South, and in thee and in thy seede shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 
\verseNumber{15}And lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware. 
\verseNumber{17}And he was afraid, and said, How fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon the top of it. 
\verseNumber{19}And he called ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes to put on: 
\verseNumber{21}So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord be my God. 
\verseNumber{22}And this stone, which I haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{29}Then Iaakob lift vp his feete and came into the East countrey. 
\verseNumber{2}And as he looked about, behold there was a well in the field, and lo, three flocks of sheepe lay thereby (for at that well were the flockes watered) and there was a great stone vpon the welles mouth. 
\verseNumber{3}And thither were all the flockes gathered, and they rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered the sheepe, and put the stone againe vpon the welles mouth in his place. 
\verseNumber{4}And Iaakob sayde vnto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they answered, We are of Haran. 
\verseNumber{5}Then he sayd vnto them, Know ye Laban the sonne of Nahor? Who said, We know him. 
\verseNumber{6}Againe he sayd vnto them, Is he in good health? And they answered, He is in good health, and beholde, his daughter Rahel commeth with the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{7}Then he sayd, Lo, it is yet hie day, neither is it time that the cattell shoulde be gathered together: water ye the sheepe and go feede them. 
\verseNumber{8}But they sayde, We may not vntill all the flocks be brought together, and till men rolle the stone from the welles mouth, that we may water the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{9}While he talked with them, Rahel also came with her fathers sheepe, for she kept them. 
\verseNumber{10}And assoone as Iaakob saw Rahel ye daughter of Laban his mothers brother, and the sheepe of Laban his mothers brother, then came Iaakob neere, and rolled the stone from the welles mouth, and watered ye flocke of Laban his mothers brother. 
\verseNumber{11}And Iaakob kissed Rahel, and lift vp his voyce and wept. 
\verseNumber{12}(For Iaakob tolde Rahel, that he was her fathers brother, and that he was Rebekahs sonne) then she ranne and tolde her father. 
\verseNumber{13}And when Laban heard tell of Iaakob his sisters sonne, he ranne to meete him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house: and he tolde Laban all these things. 
\verseNumber{14}To whome Laban sayd, Well, thou art my bone and my flesh. and he abode with him the space of a moneth. 
\verseNumber{15}For Laban sayde vnto Iaakob, Though thou be my brother, shouldest thou therfore serue me for nought? tell me, what shalbe thy wages? 
\verseNumber{16}Now Laban had two daughters, the elder called Leah, and the yonger called Rahel. 
\verseNumber{17}And Leah was tender eyed, but Rahel was beautifull and faire. 
\verseNumber{18}And Iaakob loued Rahel, and sayde, I will serue thee seuen yeeres for Rahel thy yonger daughter. 
\verseNumber{19}Then Laban answered, It is better that I giue her thee, then that I should giue her to another man: abide with me. 
\verseNumber{20}And Iaakob serued seuen yeres for Rahel, and they seemed vnto him but a few dayes, because he loued her. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Iaakob sayde to Laban, Giue me my wife, that I may goe in to her: for my terme is ended. 
\verseNumber{22}Wherefore Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast. 
\verseNumber{23}But whe the euening was come, he tooke Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her. 
\verseNumber{24}And Laban gaue his mayde Zilpah to his daughter Leah, to be her seruant. 
\verseNumber{25}But when the morning was come, behold, it was Leah. Then sayde he to Laban, Wherefore hast thou done thus to mee? did not I serue thee for Rahel? wherfore then hast thou beguiled me? 
\verseNumber{26}And Laban answered, It is not the maner of this place, to giue the yonger before the elder. 
\verseNumber{27}Fulfill seuen yeeres for her, and we wil also giue thee this for the seruice, which thou shalt serue me yet seuen yeeres more. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Iaakob did so, and fulfilled her seuen yeeres, so he gaue him Rahel his daughter to be his wife. 
\verseNumber{29}Laban also gaue to Rahel his daughter Bilhah his mayde to be her seruant. 
\verseNumber{30}So entred he in to Rahel also, and loued also Rahel more then Leah, and serued him yet seuen yeeres more. 
\verseNumber{31}When the Lord saw that Leah was despised, he made her fruitful: but Rahel was barren. 
\verseNumber{32}And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Because the Lord hath looked vpon my tribulation, now therefore mine husband will loue me. 
\verseNumber{33}And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and sayde, Because the Lord heard that I was hated, he hath therefore giuen me this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon. 
\verseNumber{34}And she conceiued againe and bare a sonne, and said, Now at this time wil my husband keepe mee company, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui. 
\verseNumber{35}Moreouer shee conceiued againe and bare a sonne, saying, Nowe will I prayse the Lord: therefore shee called his name Iudah, and left bearing. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{30}And when Rahel saw that she bare Iaakob no children, Rahel enuied her sister, and said vnto Iaakob, Giue me children, or els I dye. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Iaakobs anger was kindled against Rahel, and he sayde, Am I in Gods steade, which hath withholden from thee the fruite of the wombe? 
\verseNumber{3}And she said, Behold my maide Bilhah, goe in to her, and she shall beare vpon my knees, and I shall haue children also by her. 
\verseNumber{4}Then shee gaue him Bilhah her mayde to wife, and Iaakob went in to her. 
\verseNumber{5}So Bilhah conceiued and bare Iaakob a sonne. 
\verseNumber{6}Then said Rahel, God hath giuen sentence on my side, and hath also heard my voyce, and hath giuen mee a sonne: therefore called shee his name, Dan. 
\verseNumber{7}And Bilhah Rahels maide coceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the second sonne. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Rahel said, with excellent wrestlings haue I wrestled with my sister, and haue gotten the vpper hande: and shee called his name, Naphtali. 
\verseNumber{9}And when Leah saw that she had left bearing, shee tooke Zilpah her mayde, and gaue her Iaakob to wife. 
\verseNumber{10}And Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob a sonne. 
\verseNumber{11}Then sayd Leah, A companie commeth: and she called his name, Gad. 
\verseNumber{12}Againe Zilpah Leahs mayde bare Iaakob another sonne. 
\verseNumber{13}Then sayde Leah, Ah, blessed am I, for the daughters will blesse me. and she called his name, Asher. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe Reuben went in the dayes of the wheateharuest, and founde mandrakes in the fielde and brought them vnto his mother Leah. Then sayde Rahel to Leah, Giue me, I pray thee, of thy sonnes mandrakes. 
\verseNumber{15}But shee answered her, Is it a small matter for thee to take mine husband, except thou take my sonnes mandrakes also? Then sayde Rahel, Therefore he shall sleepe with thee this night for thy sonnes mandrakes. 
\verseNumber{16}And Iaakob came from the fielde in the euening, and Leah went out to meete him, and sayde, Come in to mee, for I haue bought and payed for thee with my sonnes mandrakes: and he slept with her that night. 
\verseNumber{17}And God heard Leah and shee conceiued, and bare vnto Iaakob the fift sonne. 
\verseNumber{18}Then said Leah, God hath giuen me my reward, because I gaue my mayde to my husband, and she called his name Issachar. 
\verseNumber{19}After, Leah conceiued againe, and bare Iaakob the sixt sonne. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowrie: nowe will mine husband dwell with me, because I haue borne him sixe sonnes: and she called his name Zebulun. 
\verseNumber{21}After that, shee bare a daughter, and shee called her name Dinah. 
\verseNumber{22}And God remembred Rahel, and God heard her, and opened her wombe. 
\verseNumber{23}So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and said, God hath taken away my rebuke. 
\verseNumber{24}And shee called his name Ioseph, saying, The Lord wil giue me yet another sonne. 
\verseNumber{25}And assoone as Rahel had borne Ioseph, Iaakob said to Laban, Sende me away that I may go vnto my place and to my countrey. 
\verseNumber{26}Giue me my wiues and my children, for whom I haue serued thee, and let me go: for thou knowest what seruice I haue done thee. 
\verseNumber{27}To whom Laban answered, If I haue nowe found fauour in thy sight tarie: I haue perceiued that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake. 
\verseNumber{28}Also he said, Appoynt vnto me thy wages, and I will giue it thee. 
\verseNumber{29}But he sayd vnto him, Thou knowest, what seruice I haue done thee, and in what taking thy cattell hath bene vnder me. 
\verseNumber{30}For the litle, that thou haddest before I came, is increased into a multitude: and the Lord hath blessed thee by my comming: but nowe when shall I trauell for mine owne house also? 
\verseNumber{31}Then he saide, What shall I giue thee? And Iaakob answered, Thou shalt giue mee nothing at all: if thou wilt doe this thing for mee, I will returne, feede, and keepe thy sheepe. 
\verseNumber{32}I wil passe through all thy flockes this day, and separate from them all the sheepe with litle spots and great spots, and al blacke lambes among the sheepe, and the great spotted, and litle spotted among the goates: and it shalbe my wages. 
\verseNumber{33}So shall my righteousnesse answere for me hereafter, when it shall come for my rewarde before thy face, and euery one that hath not litle or great spots among the goates, and blacke among the sheepe, the same shalbe theft with me. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Laban sayde, Goe to, woulde God it might be according to thy saying. 
\verseNumber{35}Therefore he tooke out the same day the hee goates that were partie coloured and with great spots, and all the shee goates with litle and great spots, and all that had white in them, and all the blacke among the sheepe, and put them in the keeping of his sonnes. 
\verseNumber{36}And hee set three dayes iourney betweene himselfe and Iaakob. And Iaakob kept the rest of Labans sheepe. 
\verseNumber{37}Then Iaakob tooke rods of greene popular, and of hasell, and of the chesnut tree, and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appeare in the rods. 
\verseNumber{38}Then he put the rods, which he had pilled, in the gutters and watering troughes, when the sheepe came to drink, before the sheepe. (for they were in heate, when they came to drinke) 
\verseNumber{39}And the sheepe were in heate before the rods, and afterward brought forth yong of partie colour, and with small and great spots. 
\verseNumber{40}And Iaakob parted these lambes, and turned the faces of the flocke towardes these lambes partie coloured and all maner of blacke, among the sheepe of Laban: so hee put his owne flockes by themselues, and put them not with Labans flocke. 
\verseNumber{41}And in euery ramming time of the stronger sheepe, Iaakob layde the rods before the eyes of the sheepe in the gutters, that they might conceiue before the rods. 
\verseNumber{42}But when the sheepe were feeble, hee put them not in: and so the feebler were Labans, and the stronger Iaakobs. 
\verseNumber{43}So the man increased exceedingly, and had many flockes, and maide seruantes, and men seruants, and camels and asses. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{31}Now he heard the words of Labans sonnes, saying, Iaakob hath taken away all that was our fathers, and of our fathers goods hath he gotten all this honour. 
\verseNumber{2}Also Iaakob beheld the countenance of Laban, that it was not towards him as in times past: 
\verseNumber{3}And the Lord had said vnto Iaakob, Turne againe into the lande of thy fathers, and to thy kinred, and I wilbe with thee. 
\verseNumber{4}Therefore Iaakob sent and called Rahel and Leah to the fielde vnto his flocke. 
\verseNumber{5}Then sayde hee vnto them, I see your fathers countenance, that it is not towardes me as it was wont, and the God of my father hath bene with me. 
\verseNumber{6}And yee knowe that I haue serued your father with all my might. 
\verseNumber{7}But your father hath deceiued me, and changed my wages tenne times: but God suffred him not to hurt me. 
\verseNumber{8}If he thus sayd, The spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheepe bare spotted: and if he sayd thus, the party coloured shalbe thy rewarde, then bare all the sheepe particoloured. 
\verseNumber{9}Thus hath God taken away your fathers substance, and giuen it me. 
\verseNumber{10}For in ramming time I lifted vp mine eyes and saw in a dreame, and beholde, ye hee goates leaped vpon the shee goates, that were partie coloured with litle and great spots spotted. 
\verseNumber{11}And the Angel of God sayde to mee in a dreame, Iaakob. And I answered, Lo, I am here. 
\verseNumber{12}And he sayde, Lift vp nowe thine eyes, and see all the hee goates leaping vpon ye shee goates that are partie coloured, spotted with litle and great spots: for I haue seene all that Laban doeth vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{13}I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anoyntedst the pillar, where thou vowedst a vowe vnto me. Nowe arise, get thee out of this countrey and returne vnto ye land where thou wast borne. 
\verseNumber{14}Then answered Rahel and Leah, and sayde vnto him, Haue wee any more porcion and inheritance in our fathers house? 
\verseNumber{15}Doeth not he count vs as strangers? for he hath solde vs, and hath eaten vp and consumed our money. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore all the riches, which God hath taken from our father, is ours and our childrens: nowe then whatsoeuer God hath saide vnto thee, doe it. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Iaakob rose vp, and set his sonnes and his wiues vpon camels. 
\verseNumber{18}And he caried away all his flockes, and al his substance which he had gotten, to wit, his riches, which he had gotten in Padan Aram, to goe to Izhak his father vnto the land of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{19}Whe Laban was gone to shere his sheepe, Then Rahel stole her fathers idoles. 
\verseNumber{20}Thus Iaakob stole away ye heart of Laban the Aramite: for he told him not that he fled. 
\verseNumber{21}So fled he with all that he had, and he rose vp, and passed the riuer, and set his face towarde mount Gilead. 
\verseNumber{22}And the third day after was it told Laban, that Iaakob fled. 
\verseNumber{23}Then he tooke his brethren with him, and followed after him seuen dayes iourney, and ouertooke him at mount Gilead. 
\verseNumber{24}And God came to Laban the Aramite in a dreame by night, and sayde vnto him, Take heede that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Laban ouertooke Iaakob, and Iaakob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban also with his brethren pitched vpon mount Gilead. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Laban sayde to Iaakob, What hast thou done? thou hast euen stolen away mine heart and caried away my daughters as though they had bene taken captiues with the sworde. 
\verseNumber{27}Wherfore diddest thou flie so secretly and steale away from me, and diddest not tel me, that I might haue sent thee foorth with mirth and with songs, with timbrel and with harpe? 
\verseNumber{28}But thou hast not suffered me to kisse my sonnes and my daughters: nowe thou hast done foolishly in doing so. 
\verseNumber{29}I am able to do you euill: but the God of your father spake vnto me yesternight, saying, Take heed that thou speake not to Iaakob ought saue good. 
\verseNumber{30}Nowe though thou wentest thy way, because thou greatly longedst after thy fathers house, yet wherefore hast thou stollen my gods? 
\verseNumber{31}Then Iaakob answered, and said to Laban, Because I was afraid, and thought that thou wouldest haue taken thy daughters from me. 
\verseNumber{32}But with whome thou findest thy gods, let him not liue. Search thou before our brethre what I haue of thine, and take it to thee, (but Iaakob wist not that Rahel had stolen them) 
\verseNumber{33}Then came Laban into Iaakobs tent, and into Leahs tent, and into the two maides tentes, but founde them not. So hee went out of Leahs tent, and entred into Rahels tent. 
\verseNumber{34}(Nowe Rahel had taken the idoles, and put them in the camels litter and sate downe vpon them) and Laban searched al the tent, but found them not. 
\verseNumber{35}Then said she to her father, My Lord, be not angrie that I cannot rise vp before thee: for the custome of women is vpon me: so he searched, but found not the idoles. 
\verseNumber{36}The Iaakob was wroth, and chode with Laban: Iaakob also answered and sayd to Laban, What haue I trespassed? what haue I offended, that thou hast pursued after me? 
\verseNumber{37}Seeing thou hast searched all my stuffe, what hast thou foud of all thine houshold stuffe? put it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may iudge betweene vs both. 
\verseNumber{38}This twenty yere I haue bin with thee: thine ewes and thy goates haue not cast their yong, and the rammes of thy flocke haue I not eaten. 
\verseNumber{39}Whatsoeuer was torne of beasts, I brought it not vnto thee, but made it good my selfe: of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stollen by day or stollen by night. 
\verseNumber{40}I was in the day consumed with heate, and with frost in the night, and my sleepe departed from mine eyes. 
\verseNumber{41}Thus haue I bene twentie yeere in thine house, and serued thee fourteene yeeres for thy two daughters, and sixe yeeres for thy sheepe, and thou hast changed my wages tenne times. 
\verseNumber{42}Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the feare of Izhak had bene with me, surely thou haddest sent me away nowe emptie: but God behelde my tribulation, and the labour of mine hads, and rebuked thee yester night. 
\verseNumber{43}Then Laban answered, and saide vnto Iaakob, These daughters are my daughters, and these sonnes are my sonnes, and these sheepe are my sheepe, and all that thou seest, is mine, and what can I doe this day vnto these my daughters, or to their sonnes which they haue borne? 
\verseNumber{44}Nowe therefore come and let vs make a couenant, I and thou, which may be a witnes betweene me and thee. 
\verseNumber{45}Then tooke Iaakob a stone, and set it vp as a pillar: 
\verseNumber{46}And Iaakob sayde vnto his brethren, Gather stones: who brought stones, and made an heape, and they did eate there vpon the heape. 
\verseNumber{47}And Laban called it Iegar-sahadutha, and Iaakob called it Galeed. 
\verseNumber{48}For Laban sayd, This heape is witnesse betweene me and thee this day: therefore he called the name of it Galeed. 
\verseNumber{49}Also he called it Mizpah, because he said, The Lord looke betweene me and thee, when we shalbe departed one from another, 
\verseNumber{50}If thou shalt vexe my daughters, or shalt take wiues beside my daughters: there is no man with vs, beholde, God is witnesse betweene me and thee. 
\verseNumber{51}Moreouer Laban sayd to Iaakob, Beholde this heape, and behold the pillar, which I haue set betweene me and thee, 
\verseNumber{52}This heape shall be witnesse, and the pillar shall be witnesse, that I will not come ouer this heape to thee, and that thou shalt not passe ouer this heape and this pillar vnto me for euill. 
\verseNumber{53}The God of Abraham, and the God of Nabor, and the God of their father be iudge betweene vs: But Iaakob sware by the feare of his father Izhak. 
\verseNumber{54}Then Iaakob did offer a sacrifice vpon the mount, and called his brethren to eate bread. and they did eate bread, and taried all night in the mount. 
\verseNumber{55}And earely in the morning Laban rose vp and kissed his sonnes and his daughters, and blessed them, and Laban departing, went vnto his place againe.

\chapterNumber{32}Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him. 
\verseNumber{2}And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom: 
\verseNumber{4}To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time. 
\verseNumber{5}I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 
\verseNumber{6}So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies. 
\verseNumber{8}For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape. 
\verseNumber{9}Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good, 
\verseNumber{10}I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads. 
\verseNumber{11}I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children. 
\verseNumber{12}For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude. 
\verseNumber{13}And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother: 
\verseNumber{14}Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes: 
\verseNumber{15}Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles. 
\verseNumber{16}So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue. 
\verseNumber{17}And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee? 
\verseNumber{18}Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs. 
\verseNumber{19}So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him. 
\verseNumber{20}And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.) 
\verseNumber{21}So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie. 
\verseNumber{22}And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok. 
\verseNumber{23}And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had. 
\verseNumber{24}Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day. 
\verseNumber{25}And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him. 
\verseNumber{26}And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me. 
\verseNumber{27}Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob. 
\verseNumber{28}Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there 
\verseNumber{30}And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued. 
\verseNumber{31}And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh. 
\verseNumber{32}Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{33}And as Iaakob lift vp his eyes, and looked, behold, Esau came, and with him foure hundreth men: and he deuided the children to Leah, and to Rahel, and to the two maides. 
\verseNumber{2}And he put the maides, and their children formost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rahel, and Ioseph hindermost. 
\verseNumber{3}So he went before them and bowed him selfe to the ground seuen times, vntill he came neere to his brother. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Esau ranne to meete him, and embraced him, and fell on his necke, and kissed him, and they wept. 
\verseNumber{5}And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant. 
\verseNumber{6}Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues. 
\verseNumber{7}Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence. 
\verseNumber{8}Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde: 
\verseNumber{9}And Esau said, I haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{10}But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me. 
\verseNumber{11}I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke it. 
\verseNumber{12}And he saide, Let vs take our iourney and go, and I will goe before thee. 
\verseNumber{13}Then he answered him, My lord knoweth, that the children are tender, and the ewes and kine with yong vnder mine hande: and if they should ouerdriue them one day, all the flocke would die. 
\verseNumber{14}Let now my lord go before his seruant, and I will driue softly, according to ye pase of ye cattel, which is before me, and as the children be able to endure, vntill I come to my lord vnto Seir. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Esau said, I will leaue then some of my folke with thee. And he answered, what needeth this? let me finde grace in the sight of my lorde. 
\verseNumber{16}So Esau returned, and went his way that same day vnto Seir. 
\verseNumber{17}And Iaakob went forwarde towarde Succoth, and built him an house, and made boothes for his cattell: therefore he called the name of the place Succoth. 
\verseNumber{18}Afterward, Iaakob came safe to Sheche a citie, which is in the lande of Canaan, when he came from Padan Aram, and pitched before the citie. 
\verseNumber{19}And there he bought a parcell of ground, where hee pitched his tent, at the hande of the sonnes of Hamor Shechems father, for an hundreth pieces of money.

\verseNumber{3}So his heart claue vnto Dinah the daughter of Iaakob: and he loued the maide, and spake kindely vnto the maide. 
\verseNumber{4}Then said Shechem to his father Hamor, saying, Get me this maide to wife. 
\verseNumber{5}(Nowe Iaakob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter, and his sonnes were with his cattell in the fielde: therefore Iaakob helde his peace, vntill they were come.) 
\verseNumber{6}Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out vnto Iaakob to commune with him. 
\verseNumber{7}And whe the sonnes of Iaakob were come out of the fielde and heard it, it grieued the men, and they were very angry, because he had wrought villenie in Israel, in that he had lyen with Iaakobs daughter: which thing ought not to be done.

\verseNumber{12}Aske of me abundantly both dowrie and giftes, and I will giue as ye appoint me, so that ye giue me the maide to wife. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the sonnes of Iaakob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, talking deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 
\verseNumber{14}And they said vnto them, We can not do this thing, to giue our sister to an vncircumcised man: for that were a reproofe vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{15}But in this will we consent vnto you, if ye will be as we are, that euery man childe among you be circumcised:

\verseNumber{17}But if ye will not hearken vnto vs to be circumcised, then will we take our daughter and depart. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe their wordes pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamors sonne. 
\verseNumber{19}And the yong man deferd not to doe the thing because he loued Iaakobs daughter: he was also the most set by of all his fathers house. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Hamor and Shechem his Sonne went vnto the gate of their citie, and communed with the men of their citie, saying, 
\verseNumber{21}These men are peaceable with vs: and that they may dwell in the land, and doe their affaires therin (for behold, the land hath roume ynough for them) let vs take their daughters to wiues, and giue them our daughters.

\verseNumber{25}And on the thirde day (when they were sore) two of the sonnes of Iaakob, Simeon and Leui, Dinahs brethren tooke either of them his sworde and went into the citie boldly, and slue euery male.

\chapterNumber{35}Then God sayde to Iaakob, Arise, goe vp to Beth-el and dwell there, and make there an altar vnto God, that appeared vnto thee, when thou fleddest from Esau thy brother.

\verseNumber{3}For we will rise and goe vp to Beth-el, and I will make an altar there vnto God, which heard me in the day of my tribulation, and was with me in the way which I went. 
\verseNumber{4}And they gaue vnto Iaakob all the strange gods, which were in their hands, and all their earings which were in their eares, and Iaakob hidde them vnder an oke, which was by Shechem. 
\verseNumber{5}Then they went on their iourney, and the feare of God was vpon the cities that were roud about them: so that they did not follow after the sonnes of Iaakob.

\verseNumber{7}And he built there an altar, and had called the place, The God of Beth-el, because that God appeared vnto him there, when he fled from his brother. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Deborah Rebekahs nourse dyed, and was buried beneath Beth-el vnder an oke: and he called the name of it Allon Bachuth. 
\verseNumber{9}Againe God appeared vnto Iaakob, after he came out of Padan Aram, and blessed him. 
\verseNumber{10}Moreouer God said vnto him, Thy name is Iaakob: thy name shalbe no more called Iaakob, but Israel shalbe thy name: and hee called his name Israel.

\verseNumber{17}And whe she was in paines of her labour, the midwife saide vnto her, Feare not: for thou shalt haue this sonne also. 
\verseNumber{18}Then as she was about to yeelde vp the Ghost (for she died) she called his name Ben-oni, but his father called him Beniamin.

\verseNumber{3}So she conceiued and bare a sonne, and he called his name Er. 
\verseNumber{4}And she conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Onan. 
\verseNumber{5}Moreouer she bare yet a sonne, whome she called Shelah: and Iudah was at Chezib when she bare him. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Iudah tooke a wife to Er his first borne sonne whose name was Tamar. 
\verseNumber{7}Now Er the first borne of Iudah was wicked in the sight of the Lord: therefore the Lord slewe him. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Iudah said to Onan, Goe in vnto thy brothers wife, and do the office of a kinsman vnto her, and raise vp seede vnto thy brother. 
\verseNumber{9}And Onan knewe that the seede should not be his: therefore when he went in vnto his brothers wife, he spilled it on the grounde, least he should giue seede vnto his brother. 
\verseNumber{10}And it was wicked in the eyes of the Lord, which he did: wherefore he slewe him also. 
\verseNumber{11}Then said Iudah to Tamar his daughter in lawe, Remaine a widowe in thy fathers house, till Shelah my sonne growe vp (for he thought thus, Least he die as well as his brethren.) So Tamar went and dwelt in her fathers house. 
\verseNumber{12}And in processe of time also the daughter of Shuah Iudahs wife dyed. Then Iudah, when he had left mourning, went vp to his sheepe sherers to Timnah, he, and his neighbour Hirah the Adullamite. 
\verseNumber{13}And it was tolde Tamar, saying, beholde, thy father in lawe goeth vp to Timnah, to shere his sheepe. 
\verseNumber{14}Then she put her widowes garments off from her, and couered her with a vaile, and wrapped her selfe, and sate downe in Pethah-enaim, which is by the way to Timnah, because she sawe that Shelah was growen, and she was not giuen vnto him to wife. 
\verseNumber{15}When Iudah sawe her, he iudged her an whore: for she had couered her face. 
\verseNumber{16}And he turned to the way towardes her, and saide, Come, I pray thee, let me lie with thee. (for he knewe not that she was his daughter in lawe) And she answered, What wilt thou giue me for to lie with me? 
\verseNumber{17}Then said he, I will sende thee a kid of the goates from the flocke. and she said, Well, if thou wilt giue me a pledge, till thou sende it. 
\verseNumber{18}Then he saide, What is the pledge that I shall giue thee? And she answered, Thy signet, and thy cloke, and thy staffe that is in thine hande. So he gaue it her, and lay by her, and she was with childe by him. 
\verseNumber{19}Then she rose, and went and put her vaile from her and put on her widowes raiment. 
\verseNumber{20}Afterwarde Iudah sent a kid of the goates by the hande of his neighbour the Adullamite, for to receiue his pledge from the womans hand: but he found her not. 
\verseNumber{21}Then asked he the men of that place, saying, Where is ye whore, that sate in Enaim by the way side? And they answered, There was no whore here. 
\verseNumber{22}He came therefore to Iudah againe, and said, I can not finde her, and also the men of the place said, There was no whore there. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Iudah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: beholde, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her. 
\verseNumber{24}Now after three moneths, one tolde Iudah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the whore, and lo, with playing the whore, she is great with childe. Then Iudah saide, Bring ye her foorth and let her be burnt. 
\verseNumber{25}When she was brought foorth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, vnto whom these things pertaine, am I with childe: and saide also, Looke, I pray thee, whose these are, the seale, and the cloke, and the staffe. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Iudah knewe them, and said, She is more righteous then I: for she hath done it because I gaue her not to Shelah my sonne. So he lay with her no more. 
\verseNumber{27}Now, when the time was come that she should be deliuered, beholde, there were twinnes in her wombe. 
\verseNumber{28}And when she was in trauell, the one put out his hand: and the midwife tooke and bound a red threde about his hand, saying, This is come out first. 
\verseNumber{29}But when he plucked his hand backe againe, loe, his brother came out, and the midwife said, How hast thou broken the breach vpon thee? and his name was called Pharez. 
\verseNumber{30}And afterward came out his brother that had the red threde about his hande, and his name was called Zarah.

\chapterNumber{39}Now Ioseph was brought downe into Egypt: and Potiphar an Eunuche of Pharaohs (and his chiefe stewarde an Egyptian) bought him at the hande of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him thither. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord was with Ioseph, and he was a man that prospered and was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 
\verseNumber{3}And his master sawe that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord made all that hee did to prosper in his hande. 
\verseNumber{4}So Ioseph founde fauour in his sight, and serued him: and he made him ruler of his house, and put all that he had in his hand. 
\verseNumber{5}And from that time that he had made him ruler ouer his house and ouer all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptians house for Iosephs sake: and the blessing of the Lord was vpon all that he had in the house, and in the fielde. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore he left all that he had in Iosephs hand, and tooke accompt of nothing, that was with him, saue onely of the bread, which he did eate. And Ioseph was a faire person, and well fauoured. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe therefore after these thinges, his masters wife cast her eyes vpon Ioseph, and saide, Lye with me. 
\verseNumber{8}But he refused and said to his masters wife, Beholde, my master knoweth not what he hath in the house with me, but hath committed all that he hath to mine hande. 
\verseNumber{9}There is no man greater in this house then I: neither hath he kept any thing from me, but only thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickednes and so sinne against God? 
\verseNumber{10}And albeit she spake to Ioseph day by day, yet he hearkened not vnto her, to lye with her, or to be in her company. 
\verseNumber{11}Then on a certaine day Ioseph entred into the house, to doe his businesse: and there was no man of the houshold in the house: 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore she caught him by his garmet, saying, Sleepe with me: but he left his garment in her hand and fled, and got him out. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe when she sawe that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled out, 
\verseNumber{14}She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying, Beholde, he hath brought in an Ebrewe vnto vs to mocke vs: who came in to me for to haue slept with me: but I cryed with a loude voyce. 
\verseNumber{15}And when he heard that I lift vp my voice and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fled away, and got him out. 
\verseNumber{16}So she layde vp his garment by her, vntill her lord came home. 
\verseNumber{17}Then she tolde him according to these words, saying, The Ebrew seruat, which thou hast brought vnto vs, came in to me, to mocke me. 
\verseNumber{18}But assoone as I lift vp my voyce and cried, he left his garment with me, and fled out. 
\verseNumber{19}Then when his master heard the wordes of his wife, which she tolde him, saying, After this maner did thy seruant to me, his anger was kindled. 
\verseNumber{20}And Iosephs master tooke him and put him in prison, in the place, where the kings prisoners lay bounde: and there he was in prison. 
\verseNumber{21}But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed him mercie, and got him fauour in the sight of the master of the prison. 
\verseNumber{22}And the keeper of the prison committed to Iosephs hande all the prisoners that were in the prison, and whatsoeuer they did there, that did he. 
\verseNumber{23}And the keeper of the prison looked vnto nothing that was vnder his hande, seeing that the Lord was with him: for whatsoeuer he did, the Lord made it to prosper.

\chapterNumber{40}And after these things, the butler of the King of Egypt and his baker offended their lorde the King of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{2}And Pharaoh was angrie against his two officers, against the chiefe butler, and against the chiefe baker. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore he put them in ward in his chiefe stewardes house, in the prison and place where Ioseph was bound. 
\verseNumber{4}And the chiefe steward gaue Ioseph charge ouer them, and he serued them: and they continued a season in warde. 
\verseNumber{5}And they both dreamed a dreame, eyther of them his dreame in one night, eche one according to the interpretation of his dreame, both the butler and the baker of the King of Egypt, which were bounde in the prison. 
\verseNumber{6}And when Ioseph came in vnto them in the morning, and looked vpon them, beholde, they were sad. 
\verseNumber{7}And he asked Pharaohs officers, that were with him in his masters warde, saying, Wherefore looke ye so sadly to day? 
\verseNumber{8}Who answered him, We haue dreamed, eche one a dreame, and there is none to interprete the same. Then Ioseph saide vnto them, Are not interpretations of God? tell them me nowe. 
\verseNumber{9}So the chiefe butler tolde his dreame to Ioseph, and said vnto him, In my dreame, behold, a vine was before me, 
\verseNumber{10}And in the vine were three branches, and as it budded, her flowre came foorth: and the clusters of grapes waxed ripe. 
\verseNumber{11}And I had Pharaohs cup in mine hande, and I tooke the grapes, and wrung the into Pharaohs cup, and I gaue the cup into Pharaohs hand. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Ioseph sayde vnto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three braunches are three dayes. 
\verseNumber{13}Within three dayes shall Pharaoh lift vp thine head, and restore thee vnto thine office, and thou shalt giue Pharaohs cup into his hand after the olde maner, when thou wast his butler. 
\verseNumber{14}But haue me in remembrance with thee, when thou art in good case, and shew mercie, I pray thee, vnto me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring me out of this house. 
\verseNumber{15}For I was stollen away by theft out of the land of the Ebrewes, and here also haue I done nothing, wherefore they should put mee in the dungeon. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the chiefe baker sawe that the interpretation was good, hee saide vnto Ioseph, Also mee thought in my dreame that I had three white baskets on mine head. 
\verseNumber{17}And in the vppermost basket there was of all maner baken meates for Pharaoh: and the birdes did eate them out of the basket vpon mine head. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Ioseph answered, and saide, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three dayes: 
\verseNumber{19}Within three dayes shall Pharaoh take thine head from thee, and shall hang thee on a tree, and the birdes shall eate thy flesh from off thee. 
\verseNumber{20}And so the third day, which was Pharaohs birthday, hee made a feast vnto all his seruants: and hee lifted vp the head of the chiefe butler, and the head of the chiefe baker among his seruants. 
\verseNumber{21}And he restored the chiefe butler vnto his butlershippe, who gaue the cup into Pharaohs hande, 
\verseNumber{22}But he hanged the chiefe baker, as Ioseph had interpreted vnto them. 
\verseNumber{23}Yet the chiefe butler did not remember Ioseph, but forgate him.

\chapterNumber{41}And two yeeres after, Pharaoh also dreamed, and beholde, he stoode by a riuer, 
\verseNumber{2}And loe, there came out of the riuer seuen goodly kine and fatfleshed, and they fedde in a medowe: 
\verseNumber{3}And loe, seuen other kine came vp after the out of the riuer, euill fauoured and leane fleshed, and stoode by the other kine vpon the brinke of the riuer. 
\verseNumber{4}And the euilfauoured and leane fleshed kine did eate vp the seuen welfauoured and fatte kine: so Pharaoh awoke. 
\verseNumber{5}Againe he slept, and dreamed the second time: and beholde, seuen eares of corne grewe vpon one stalke, ranke and goodly. 
\verseNumber{6}And loe, seuen thinne eares, and blasted with the east winde, sprang vp after them: 
\verseNumber{7}And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen ranke and full eares. then Pharaoh awaked, and loe, it was a dreame. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe when the morning came, his spirit was troubled: therefore he sent and called all the soothsayers of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof, and Pharaoh tolde them his dreames: but none coulde interprete them to Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{9}Then spake the chiefe butler vnto Pharaoh, saying, I call to minde my faultes this day. 
\verseNumber{10}Pharaoh being angrie with his seruantes, put me in ward in the chiefe stewards house, both me and the chiefe baker. 
\verseNumber{11}Then we dreamed a dreame in one night, both I, and he: we dreamed eche man according to the interpretation of his dreame. 
\verseNumber{12}And there was with vs a yong man, an Ebrew, seruant vnto the chiefe steward, whome when we told, he declared our dreames to vs, to euery one he declared according to his dreame. 
\verseNumber{13}And as he declared vnto vs, so it came to passe: for he restored me to mine office, and hanged him. 
\verseNumber{14}Then sent Pharaoh, and called Ioseph, and they brought him hastily out of prison, and he shaued him, and chaunged his rayment, and came to Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Pharaoh sayde to Ioseph, I haue dreamed a dreame, and no man can interprete it, and I haue hearde say of thee, that when thou hearest a dreame, thou canst interprete it. 
\verseNumber{16}And Ioseph answered Pharaoh, saying, Without me God shall answere for the wealth of Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{17}And Pharaoh sayde vnto Ioseph, In my dreame, beholde, I stoode by the banke of the riuer: 
\verseNumber{18}And lo, there came vp out of the riuer seuen fat fleshed, and welfauoured kine, and they fedde in the medowe. 
\verseNumber{19}Also loe, seuen other kine came vp after them, poore and very euilfauoured, and leanefleshed: I neuer sawe the like in all the lande of Egypt, for euilfauoured. 
\verseNumber{20}And the leane and euilfauoured kine did eate vp the first seuen fat kine. 
\verseNumber{21}And when they had eaten them vp, it could not be knowen that they had eaten them, but they were still as euilfauoured, as they were at the beginning: so did I awake. 
\verseNumber{22}Moreouer I sawe in my dreame, and beholde, seuen eares sprang out of one stalke, full and faire. 
\verseNumber{23}And lo, seuen eares, withered, thinne, and blasted with the East winde, sprang vp after them. 
\verseNumber{24}And the thinne eares deuoured the seuen good eares. Nowe I haue tolde the soothsayers, and none can declare it vnto me. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Ioseph answered Pharaoh, Both Pharaohs dreames are one. God hath shewed Pharaoh, what he is about to doe. 
\verseNumber{26}The seuen good kine are seuen yeres, and the seuen good eares are seuen yeeres: this is one dreame. 
\verseNumber{27}Likewise the seuen thinne and euilfauoured kine, that came out after them, are seuen yeeres: and the seuen emptie eares blasted with the East winde, are seuen yeeres of famine. 
\verseNumber{28}This is the thing which I haue saide vnto Pharaoh, that God hath shewed vnto Pharaoh, what he is about to doe. 
\verseNumber{29}Beholde, there come seuen yeeres of great plentie in all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{30}Againe, there shall arise after them seuen yeeres of famine, so that all the plentie shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine shall consume the land: 
\verseNumber{31}Neither shall the plentie bee knowen in the land, by reason of this famine that shall come after: for it shalbe exceeding great. 
\verseNumber{32}And therefore the dreame was doubled vnto Pharaoh the second time, because the thing is established by God, and God hasteth to performe it. 
\verseNumber{33}Nowe therefore let Pharaoh prouide for a man of vnderstanding and wisedome, and set him ouer the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{34}Let Pharaoh make and appoynt officers ouer the lande, and take vp the fift part of the land of Egypt in the seuen plenteous yeeres. 
\verseNumber{35}Also let them gather all the foode of these good yeeres that come, and lay vp corne vnder the hand of Pharaoh for foode, in the cities, and let them keepe it. 
\verseNumber{36}So the foode shall be for the prouision of the lande, against the seuen yeeres of famine, which shalbe in the lande of Egypt, that the land perish not by famine. 
\verseNumber{37}And the saying pleased Pharaoh and all his seruants. 
\verseNumber{38}Then saide Pharaoh vnto his seruants, Can we finde such a man as this, in whom is the Spirit of God? 
\verseNumber{39}The Pharaoh said to Ioseph, For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is no man of vnderstanding, or of wisedome like vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{40}Thou shalt be ouer mine house, and at thy word shall all my people be armed, onely in the kings throne will I be aboue thee. 
\verseNumber{41}Moreouer Pharaoh said to Ioseph, Behold, I haue set thee ouer all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{42}And Pharaoh tooke off his ring from his hand, and put it vpon Iosephs hand, and arayed him in garments of fine linnen, and put a golden cheyne about his necke. 
\verseNumber{43}So he set him vpon the best charet that hee had, saue one: and they cryed before him, Abrech, and placed him ouer all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{44}Againe Pharaoh saide vnto Ioseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift vp his hand or his foote in all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{45}And Pharaoh called Iosephs name Zaphnath-paaneah: and he gaue him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On. then went Ioseph abrode in the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{46}And Ioseph was thirtie yeere old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt: and Ioseph departing from the presence of Pharaoh, went throughout all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{47}And in the seuen plenteous yeres the earth brought foorth store. 
\verseNumber{48}And hee gathered vp all the foode of the seuen plenteous yeeres, which were in the lande of Egypt, and layde vp foode in the cities: the foode of the fielde, that was round about euery citie, layde he vp in the same. 
\verseNumber{49}So Ioseph gathered wheate, like vnto the sand of the sea in multitude out of measure, vntill he left numbring: for it was without number. 
\verseNumber{50}Now vnto Ioseph were borne two sonnes (before the yeeres of famine came) which Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah prince of On bare vnto him. 
\verseNumber{51}And Ioseph called the name of the first borne Manasseh: for God, said he, hath made me forget all my labour and al my fathers houshold. 
\verseNumber{52}Also hee called the name of the second, Ephraim: For God, sayde he hath made me fruitfull in the land of mine affliction. 
\verseNumber{53}So the seuen yeeres of the plentie that was in the land of Egypt were ended. 
\verseNumber{54}Then began the seuen yeeres of famine to come, according as Ioseph had saide: and the famine was in all landes, but in all the land of Egypt was bread. 
\verseNumber{55}At the length all the lande of Egypt was affamished, and the people cryed to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said vnto all the Egyptians, Goe to Ioseph: what he sayth to you, doe ye. 
\verseNumber{56}When the famine was vpon all the land, Ioseph opened all places, wherein the store was, and solde vnto the Egyptians: for the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{57}And all countries came to Egypt to bye corne of Ioseph, because the famine was sore in all landes.

\chapterNumber{42}Then Iaakob saw that there was foode in Egypt, and Iaakob said vnto his sonnes, Why gaze ye one vpon an other? 
\verseNumber{2}And he said, Behold, I haue heard that there is foode in Egypt, Get you downe thither, and bie vs foode thence, that we may liue and not die. 
\verseNumber{3}So went Iosephs ten brethren downe to bye corne of the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{4}But Beniamin Iosephs brother woulde not Iaakob send with his brethren: for he saide, Least death should befall him. 
\verseNumber{5}And the sonnes of Israel came to bye foode among them that came: for there was famine in the land of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{6}Now Ioseph was gouerner of the land, who solde to all the people of the lande: then Iosephs brethren came, and bowed their face to the groud before him. 
\verseNumber{7}And when Ioseph sawe his brethren, hee knewe them, and made himselfe straunge toward them, and spake to them roughly, and saide vnto them, Whence come yee? Who answered, Out of the land of Canaan, to bye vitaile. 
\verseNumber{8}(Now Ioseph knewe his brethren, but they knew not him. 
\verseNumber{9}And Ioseph remembred the dreames, which he dreamed of them) and he sayde vnto them, Ye are spies, and are come to see the weaknesse of the land. 
\verseNumber{10}But they sayde vnto him, Nay, my lorde, but to bye vitayle thy seruants are come. 
\verseNumber{11}Wee are all one mans sonnes: wee meane truely, and thy seruants are no spies. 
\verseNumber{12}But he saide vnto them, Nay, but yee are come to see the weakenes of the land. 
\verseNumber{13}And they said, We thy seruants are twelue brethren, the sonnes of one man in the lande of Canaan: and beholde, the yongest is this day with our father, and one is not. 
\verseNumber{14}Againe Ioseph sayde vnto them, This is it that I spake vnto you, saying, Ye are spies. 
\verseNumber{15}Hereby ye shall be proued: by the life of Pharaoh, ye shall not goe hence, except your yongest brother come hither. 
\verseNumber{16}Send one of you which may fet your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proued, whether there bee trueth in you: or els by the life of Pharaoh ye are but spies. 
\verseNumber{17}So he put them in warde three dayes. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Ioseph said vnto them the third day, This do, and liue: for I feare God. 
\verseNumber{19}If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bounde in your prison house, and goe ye, carie foode for the famine of your houses: 
\verseNumber{20}But bring your yonger brother vnto me, that your wordes may be tried, and that ye dye not: and they did so. 
\verseNumber{21}And they said one to another, We haue verily sinned against our brother, in that we sawe the anguish of his soule, when he besought vs, and we would not heare him: therefore is this trouble come vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{22}And Reuben answered them, saying, Warned I not you, saying, Sinne not against the childe, and ye would not heare? and lo, his blood is now required. 
\verseNumber{23}(And they were not aware that Ioseph vnderstoode them: for he spake vnto them by an interpreter.) 
\verseNumber{24}Then he turned from them, and wept, and turned to them againe, and communed with them, and tooke Simeon from among them, and bounde him before their eyes. 
\verseNumber{25}So Ioseph commanded that they should fill their sackes with wheate, and put euery mans money againe in his sacke, and giue them vitaile for the iourney: and thus did he vnto them. 
\verseNumber{26}And they layed their vitaile vpon their asses, and departed thence. 
\verseNumber{27}And as one of them opened his sacke for to giue his asse prouender in the ynne, he espyed his money: for lo, it was in his sackes mouth. 
\verseNumber{28}Then he sayde vnto his brethren, My money is restored: for loe, it is euen in my sacke. And their heart fayled them, and they were astonished, and sayde one to another, What is this, that God hath done vnto vs? 
\verseNumber{29}And they came vnto Iaakob their father vnto the lande of Canaan, and tolde him all that had befallen them, saying, 
\verseNumber{30}The man, who is Lord of the lande, spake roughly to vs, and put vs in prison as spyes of the countrey.

\verseNumber{6}And when he ouertooke them, he sayde those wordes vnto them.

\verseNumber{5}Simeon and Leui, brethren in euill, the instruments of crueltie are in their habitations. 
\verseNumber{6}Into their secret let not my soule come: my glory, be not thou ioyned with their assembly: for in their wrath they slew a man, and in their selfe will they digged downe a wall. 
\verseNumber{7}Cursed be their wrath, for it was fierce, and their rage, for it was cruell: I will deuide them in Iaakob, and scatter them in Israel.

\verseNumber{27}Beniamin shall rauine as a wolfe: in the morning he shall deuoure the pray, and at night he shall deuide the spoyle. 
\verseNumber{28}All these are the twelue tribes of Israel, and thus their father spake vnto them, and blessed them: euery one of them blessed hee with a seuerall blessing. 
\verseNumber{29}And he charged them and sayd vnto them, I am ready to be gathered vnto my people: burie mee with my fathers in the caue, that is in the fielde of Ephron the Hittite,

\verseNumber{31}There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife: there they buryed Izhak and Rebekah his wife: and there I buried Leah. 
\verseNumber{32}The purchase of the fielde and the caue that is therein, was bought of the children of Heth.

\chapterNumber{50}Then Ioseph fell vpon his fathers face and wept vpon him, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{2}And Ioseph commanded his seruantes the physicions, to enbaume his father, and the physicions enbaumed Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}So fourtie dayes were accomplished (for so long did the dayes of them that were enbaumed last) and the Egyptians bewayled him seuentie dayes. 
\verseNumber{4}And when the dayes of his mourning were past, Ioseph spake to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If I haue nowe found fauour in your eyes, speake, I pray you, in the eares of Pharaoh, and say, 
\verseNumber{5}My father made me sweare, saying, Loe, I die, bury me in my graue, which I haue made me in the land of Canaan: now therefore let me go, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I wil come againe. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Pharaoh said, Goe vp and bury thy father, as he made thee to sweare. 
\verseNumber{7}So Ioseph went vp to bury his father, and with him went all the seruants of Pharaoh, both the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{8}Likewise all the house of Ioseph, and his brethren, and his fathers house: onely their children, and their sheepe, and their cattell left they in the land of Goshen. 
\verseNumber{9}And there went vp with him both charets and horsemen: and they were an exceeding great company. 
\verseNumber{10}And they came to Goren Atad, which is beyond Iorden, and there they made a great and exceeding sore lamentation: and he mourned for his father seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{11}And when the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande sawe the mourning in Goren Atad, they sayde, This is a great mourning vnto the Egyptians: wherefore the name thereof was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond Iorden. 
\verseNumber{12}So his sonnes did vnto him, according as he had commanded them: 
\verseNumber{13}For his sonnes caried him into the lande of Canaan, and buried him in the caue of the fielde of Machpelah, which caue Abraham bought with the fielde, to be a place to bury in, of Ephron the Hittite besides Mamre. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Ioseph returned into Egypt, he and his brethren, and al that went vp with him to bury his father, after that he had buried his father. 
\verseNumber{15}And when Iosephs brethren saw that their father was dead, they sayde, It may be that Ioseph will hate vs, and will pay vs againe all the euill, which we did vnto him. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore they sent vnto Ioseph, saying, Thy father commanded before his death, saying, 
\verseNumber{17}Thus shall ye say vnto Ioseph, Forgiue now, I pray thee, the trespasse of thy brethren, and their sinne: for they rewarded thee euil. And nowe, we pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of the seruants of thy fathers God. And Ioseph wept, when they spake vnto him. 
\verseNumber{18}Also his brethren came vnto him, and fell downe before his face, and sayde, Beholde, we be thy seruants. 
\verseNumber{19}To whome Ioseph sayde, Feare not: for am not I vnder God? 
\verseNumber{20}When ye thought euill against mee, God disposed it to good, that he might bring to passe, as it is this day, and saue much people aliue. 
\verseNumber{21}Feare not nowe therefore, I will nourish you, and your children: and hee comforted them, and spake kindly vnto them. 
\verseNumber{22}So Ioseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his fathers house: and Ioseph liued an hundreth and tenne yeere. 
\verseNumber{23}And Ioseph saw Ephraims children, euen vnto the third generation: also the sonnes of Machir the sonne of Manasseh were brought vp on Iosephs knees. 
\verseNumber{24}And Ioseph sayd vnto his brethren, I am ready to dye, and God will surely visite you, and bring you out of this land, vnto ye land which hee sware vnto Abraham, vnto Izhak, and vnto Iaakob. 
\verseNumber{25}And Ioseph tooke an othe of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visite you, and ye shall cary my bones hence. 
\verseNumber{26}So Ioseph died, when he was an hundreth and ten yere olde: and they enbaumed him and put him in a chest in Egypt.

\chapterNumber{1}Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt (euery man and his housholde came thither with Iaakob) 
\verseNumber{2}Reuben, Simeon, Leui, and Iudah, 
\verseNumber{3}Issachar, Zebulun, and Beniamin, 
\verseNumber{4}Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 
\verseNumber{5}So al the soules, that came out of the loines of Iaakob, were seuentie soules: Ioseph was in Egypt already. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe Ioseph died and all his brethren, and that whole generation. 
\verseNumber{7}And the children of Israel brought foorth fruite and encreased in aboundance, and were multiplied, and were exceeding mightie, so that the land was full of them. 
\verseNumber{8}Then there rose vp a newe King in Egypt, who knewe not Ioseph. 
\verseNumber{9}And he sayde vnto his people, Beholde, the people of the children of Israel are greater and mightier then we. 
\verseNumber{10}Come, let vs worke wisely with them, least they multiplie, and it come to passe, that if there be warre, they ioyne them selues also vnto our enemies, and fight against vs, and get them out of the land. 
\verseNumber{11}Therefore did they set taskemasters ouer them, to keepe the vnder with burdens: and they built the cities Pithom and Raamses for the treasures of Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{12}But the more they vexed them, the more they multiplied and grewe: therefore they were more grieued against the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{13}Wherefore the Egyptians by crueltie caused the children of Israel to serue. 
\verseNumber{14}Thus they made them weary of their liues by sore labour in clay and in bricke, and in al worke in the fielde, with all maner of bondage, which they layde vpon them most cruelly. 
\verseNumber{15}Moreouer the King of Egypt commanded ye midwiues of the Ebrewe women, (of which the ones name was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah) 
\verseNumber{16}And sayde, When ye doe the office of a midwife to the women of the Ebrewes, and see them on their stooles, if it be a sonne, then yee shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then let her liue. 
\verseNumber{17}Notwithstanding ye midwiues feared God, and did not as the King of Egypt commanded them, but preserued aliue the men children. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King of Egypt called for the midwiues, and sayde vnto them, Why haue yee done thus, and haue preserued aliue the men children? 
\verseNumber{19}And the midwiues answered Pharaoh, Because the Ebrewe women are not as the women of Egypt: for they are liuely, and are deliuered yer the midwife come at them. 
\verseNumber{20}God therefore prospered the midwiues, and the people multiplied and were very mightie. 
\verseNumber{21}And because ye midwiues feared God, therefore he made them houses. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Euery man childe that is borne, cast yee into the riuer, but reserue euery maide childe aliue. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Then there went a man of the house of Leui, and tooke to wife a daughter of Leui, 
\verseNumber{2}And the woman coceiued and bare a sonne: and when she saw that he was faire, she hid him three moneths. 
\verseNumber{3}But when she could no longer hide him, she tooke for him an arke made of reede, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and laide the childe therein, and put it among the bulrushes by the riuers brinke. 
\verseNumber{4}Now his sister stood a farre off, to wit what would come of him. 
\verseNumber{5}Then ye daughter of Pharaoh came downe to wash her in the riuer, and her maidens walked by the riuers side: and when shee sawe the arke among the bulrushes, she sent her maide to fet it. 
\verseNumber{6}Then she opened it, and sawe it was a childe: and beholde, the babe wept: so she had compassion on it, and sayde, This is one of the Ebrewes children. 
\verseNumber{7}Then said his sister vnto Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and cal vnto thee a nurce of the Ebrew women to nurce thee the childe? 
\verseNumber{8}And Pharaohs daughter sayde to her, Goe. So the maide went and called the childes mother, 
\verseNumber{9}To whome Pharaohs daughter sayde, Take this childe away, and nurce it for me, and I wil reward thee. Then the woman tooke the childe and nurced him. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe the childe grewe, and she brought him vnto Pharaohs daughter, and he was as her sonne, and she called his name Moses, because, said she, I drewe him out of the water. 
\verseNumber{11}And in those dayes, when Moses was growen, he went forth vnto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: also he sawe an Egyptian smiting an Ebrewe one of his brethren. 
\verseNumber{12}And he looked rounde about, and when he sawe no man, hee slewe the Egyptian, and hid him in the sande. 
\verseNumber{13}Againe he came forth the second day, and behold, two Ebrewes stroue: and he said vnto him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellowe? 
\verseNumber{14}And hee answered, Who made thee a man of authoritie, and a iudge ouer vs? Thinkest thou to kill mee, as thou killedst the Egyptian? Then Moses feared and sayde, Certainly this thing is knowen. 
\verseNumber{15}Now Pharaoh heard this matter, and sought to slay Moses: therefore Moses fled from Pharaoh, and dwelt in the lande of Midian, and hee sate downe by a well. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Priest of Midian had seue daughters, which came and drewe water, and filled the troghes, for to water their fathers sheepe. 
\verseNumber{17}Then the shepherds came and droue them away: but Moses rose vp and defended them, and watered their sheepe. 
\verseNumber{18}And whe they came to Reuel their father, he said, Howe are ye come so soone to day? 
\verseNumber{19}And they saide, A man of Egypt deliuered vs from the hand of the shepherdes, and also drew vs water ynough, and watered the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{20}Then he saide vnto his daughters, And where is he? why haue ye so left the man? call him that he may eate bread. 
\verseNumber{21}And Moses agreed to dwell with the man: who gaue vnto Moses Zipporah his daughter: 
\verseNumber{22}And she bare a sonne, whose name he called Gershom: for he said, I haue bene a stranger in a strange lande. 
\verseNumber{23}Then in processe of time, the King of Egypt dyed, and the children of Israel sighed for the bondage and cryed: and their crie for the bondage came vp vnto God. 
\verseNumber{24}Then God heard their mone, and God remembred his couenant with Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob. 
\verseNumber{25}So God looked vpon the children of Israel, and God had respect vnto them.

\chapterNumber{3}When Moses kept the sheepe of Iethro his father in lawe, Priest of Midian, and droue the flocke to the backe side of the desert, and came to the Mountaine of God, Horeb, 
\verseNumber{2}Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a flame of fire, out of the middes of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore Moses saide, I will turne aside nowe, and see this great sight, why the bush burneth not. 
\verseNumber{4}And when the Lord sawe that he turned aside to see, God called vnto him out of the middes of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he answered, I am here. 
\verseNumber{5}Then he saide, Come not hither, put thy shooes off thy feete: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. 
\verseNumber{6}Moreouer he saide, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob. Then Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to looke vpon God. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the Lord said, I haue surely seene the trouble of my people, which are in Egypt, and haue heard their crie, because of their taskemasters: for I knowe their sorowes. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore I am come downe to deliuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that lande into a good lande and a large, into a lande that floweth with milke and honie, euen into the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites. 
\verseNumber{9}And now lo, the crie of the children of Israel is come vnto me, and I haue also seene ye oppression, wherewith the Egyptians oppresse them. 
\verseNumber{10}Come now therefore, and I will send thee vnto Pharaoh, that thou maiest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{11}But Moses said vnto God, Who am I, that I should go vnto Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt? 
\verseNumber{12}And he answered, Certainely I will be with thee: and this shall be a token vnto thee, that I haue sent thee, After that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serue God vpon this Mountaine. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Moses said vnto God, Behold, when I shall come vnto the children of Israel, and shall say vnto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me vnto you: if they say vnto me, What is his Name? what shall I say vnto them? 
\verseNumber{14}And God answered Moses, I Am That I Am. Also he said, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me vnto you. 
\verseNumber{15}And God spake further vnto Moses, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath sent me vnto you: this is my Name for euer, and this is my memoriall vnto all ages. 
\verseNumber{16}Go and gather the Elders of Israel together, and thou shalt say vnto the, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob appeared vnto me, and said, I haue surely remembred you, and that which is done to you in Egypt. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore I did say, I wil bring you out of the affliction of Egypt vnto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, vnto a lande that floweth with milke and honie. 
\verseNumber{18}Then shall they obey thy voyce, and thou and the Elders of Israel shall go vnto the King of Egypt, and say vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath met with vs: we pray thee nowe therefore, let vs goe three dayes iourney in the wildernesse, that we may sacrifice vnto the Lord our God. 
\verseNumber{19}But I know, that the King of Egypt wil not let you goe, but by strong hande. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore will I stretch out mine hande and smite Egypt with all my wonders, which I will doe in the middes thereof: and after that shall he let you goe. 
\verseNumber{21}And I will make this people to be fauoured of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not goe emptie. 
\verseNumber{22}For euery woman shall aske of her neighbour, and of her that soiourneth in her house, iewels of siluer and iewels of gold and raiment, and ye shall put them on your sonnes, and on your daughters, and shall spoyle the Egyptians. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod. 
\verseNumber{3}Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it. 
\verseNumber{4}Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand. 
\verseNumber{5}Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe. 
\verseNumber{7}Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh. 
\verseNumber{8}So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe. 
\verseNumber{9}But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land. 
\verseNumber{10}But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord? 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say. 
\verseNumber{13}But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe. 
\verseNumber{16}And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God. 
\verseNumber{17}Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 
\verseNumber{19}(For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee) 
\verseNumber{20}Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe. 
\verseNumber{22}Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne. 
\verseNumber{23}Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne. 
\verseNumber{24}And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me. 
\verseNumber{26}So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision) 
\verseNumber{27}Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him. 
\verseNumber{29}So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{30}And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,

\verseNumber{3}And they saide, We worship the God of the Ebrewes: we pray thee, let vs goe three daies iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, least he bring vpon vs the pestilence or sword. 
\verseNumber{4}Then saide the King of Egypt vnto them, Moses and Aaron, why cause ye the people to cease from their workes? get you to your burdens. 
\verseNumber{5}Pharaoh saide furthermore, Behold, much people is nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their burdens. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore Pharaoh gaue commandement the same day vnto the taskemasters of the people, and to their officers, saying, 
\verseNumber{7}Ye shall giue the people no more strawe, to make bricke (as in time past) but let them goe and gather them strawe them selues: 
\verseNumber{8}Notwithstanding lay vpon them the nober of bricke, which they made in time past, diminish nothing thereof: for they be idle, therefore they crie, saying, Let vs go to offer sacrifice vnto our God. 
\verseNumber{9}Lay more worke vpon the men, and cause them to do it, and let the not regard vaine words. 
\verseNumber{10}Then went the taskemasters of the people and their officers out, and tolde the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will giue you no more strawe. 
\verseNumber{11}Goe your selues, get you strawe where yee can finde it, yet shall nothing of your labour bee diminished. 
\verseNumber{12}Then were the people scattered abroade throughout all the land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe. 
\verseNumber{13}And the taskemasters hasted them, saying, Finish your dayes worke euery dayes taske, as ye did when ye had strawe. 
\verseNumber{14}And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaohs taskemasters had set ouer them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore haue ye not fulfilled your taske in making bricke yesterday and to daye, as in times past? 
\verseNumber{15}Then the officers of the children of Israel came, and cryed vnto Pharaoh, saying, Wherfore dealest thou thus with thy seruants? 
\verseNumber{16}There is no strawe giuen to thy seruantes, and they say vnto vs, Make bricke: and loe, thy seruants are beaten, and thy people is blamed. 
\verseNumber{17}But he said, Ye are to much idle: therfore ye say, Let vs goe to offer sacrifice to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Goe therefore nowe and worke: for there shall no strawe be giuen you, yet shall yee deliuer the whole tale of bricke. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the officers of the children of Israel sawe them selues in an euill case, because it was saide, Ye shall diminish nothing of your bricke, nor of euery dayes taske. 
\verseNumber{20}And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh, 
\verseNumber{21}To whom they said, The Lord looke vpon you and iudge: for yee haue made our sauour to stinke before Pharaoh and before his seruants, in that ye haue put a sword in their hand to slay vs. 
\verseNumber{22}Wherefore Moses returned to the Lord, and saide, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou thus sent me?

\chapterNumber{6}Then the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Nowe shalt thou see, what I will doe vnto Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them goe, and euen be constrained to driue them out of his land. 
\verseNumber{2}Moreouer God spake vnto Moses, and sayd vnto him, I am the Lord, 
\verseNumber{3}And I appeared vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob by the Name of Almightie God: but by my Name Iehouah was I not knowen vnto the. 
\verseNumber{4}Furthermore as I made my couenant with them to giue them ye land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers: 
\verseNumber{5}So I haue also hearde the groning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keepe in bondage, and haue remembred my couenant. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore say thou vnto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians, and will deliuer you out of their bondage, and will redeeme you in a stretched out arme, and in great iudgements. 
\verseNumber{7}Also I will take you for my people, and will be your God: then ye shall knowe that I the Lord your God bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{8}And I will bring you into the land which I sware that I woulde giue to Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, and I will giue it vnto you for a possession: I am the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}So Moses told the children of Israel thus: but they hearkened not vnto Moses, for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{11}Go speak to Pharaoh King of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel goe out of his land. 
\verseNumber{12}But Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Beholde, the children of Israel hearken not vnto me, howe then shall Pharaoh heare mee, which am of vncircumcised lippes? 
\verseNumber{13}Then the Lord spake vnto Moses and vnto Aaron, and charged them to goe to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh King of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{14}These bee the heades of their fathers houses: the sonnes of Reuben the first borne of Israel are Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are ye families of Reuben. 
\verseNumber{15}Also the sonnes of Simeon: Iemuel and Iamin, and Ohad, and Iachin, and Zoar, and Shaul the sonne of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon. 
\verseNumber{16}These also are the names of the sonnes of Leui in their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari (and the yeres of the life of Leui were an hundreth thirtie and seuen yere) 
\verseNumber{17}The sonnes of Gershon were Libni and Shimi by their families. 
\verseNumber{18}And the sonnes of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and Hebron, and Vzziel. (and Kohath liued an hundreth thirtie and three yeere) 
\verseNumber{19}Also the sonnes of Merari were Mahali and Mushi: these are ye families of Leui by their kinreds.

\verseNumber{25}And Eleazar Aarons sonne tooke him one of the daughters of Putiel to his wife, which bare him Phinehas: these are the principall fathers of the Leuites throughout their families. 
\verseNumber{26}These are Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their armies. 
\verseNumber{27}These are that Moses and Aaron, which spake to Pharaoh King of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{28}And at that time when the Lord spake vnto Moses in the land of Egypt, 
\verseNumber{29}When the Lord, I say, spake vnto Moses, saying, I am the Lord, speake thou vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt all that I say vnto thee, 
\verseNumber{30}Then Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of vncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heare me? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}Then the Lord saide to Moses, Behold, I haue made thee Pharaohs God, and Aaron thy brother shall be thy Prophet. 
\verseNumber{2}Thou shalt speake all that I commanded thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speake vnto Pharaoh, that he suffer the children of Israel to go out of his land. 
\verseNumber{3}But I will harden Pharaohs heart, and multiplie my miracles and my wonders in the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{4}And Pharaoh shall not hearken vnto you, that I may lay mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out myne armies, euen my people, the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, by great iudgements. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the Egyptians shall knowe that I am the Lord, when I stretch foorth mine hand vpon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 
\verseNumber{6}So Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded them, euen so did they. 
\verseNumber{7}(Nowe Moses was foure score yeere olde, and Aaron foure score and three, when they spake vnto Pharaoh) 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord had spoken vnto Moses and Aaron, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}If Pharaoh speake vnto you, saying, Shewe a miracle for you, then thou shalt say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shalbe turned into a serpent. 
\verseNumber{10}Then went Moses and Aaron vnto Pharaoh, and did euen as the Lord had commanded: and Aaron cast forth his rod before Pharaoh and before his seruants, and it was turned into a serpent. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Pharaoh called also for the wise men and sorcerers: and those charmers also of Egypt did in like maner with their enchantmens, 
\verseNumber{12}For they cast downe euery man his rod, and they were turned into serpents: but Aarons rodde deuoured their rods. 
\verseNumber{13}So Pharaohs heart was hardened, and hee hearkened not to them, as the Lord had saide. 
\verseNumber{14}The Lord then saide vnto Moses, Pharaohs heart is obstinate, hee refuseth to let the people goe. 
\verseNumber{15}Goe vnto Pharaoh in the morning, (loe, he will come forth vnto the water) and thou shalt stand and meete him by the riuers brinke, and the rod, which was turned into a serpent, shalt thou take in thine hand. 
\verseNumber{16}And thou shalt say vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath sent me vnto thee, saying, Let my people goe, that they may serue mee in the wildernesse: and beholde, hitherto thou wouldest not heare. 
\verseNumber{17}Thus saith the Lord, In this shalt thou know that I am the Lord: behold, I wil smite with the rodde that is in mine hand vpon the water that is in the riuer, and it shalbe turned to blood. 
\verseNumber{18}And the fish that is in the riuer shall dye, and the riuer shall stinke, and it shall grieue the Egyptians to drinke of the water of the riuer. 
\verseNumber{19}The Lord then spake to Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand ouer the waters of Egypt, ouer their streames, ouer their riuers, and ouer their pondes,, and ouer all pooles of their waters, and they shalbe blood, and there shalbe blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and of stone. 
\verseNumber{20}So Moses and Aaron did euen as the Lord commanded: and hee lift vp the rodde, and smote the water that was in the riuer in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his seruants: and all the water that was in the riuer, was turned into blood. 
\verseNumber{21}And the fish that was in the ryuer dyed, and the riuer stanke: so that the Egyptians could not drinke of the water of the riuer: and there was blood throughout all the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{22}And the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries: and the heart of Phraoh was hardened: so that he did not hearken vnto them, as the Lord had sayde. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Pharaoh returned, and went againe into his house, neither did this yet enter into his heart. 
\verseNumber{24}All the Egyptians then digged rounde about the riuer for waters to drinke: for they could not drinke of the water of the riuer. 
\verseNumber{25}And this continued fully seuen dayes after the Lord had smitten the riuer.

\chapterNumber{8}Afterward the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Goe vnto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people goe, that they may serue me: 
\verseNumber{2}And if thou wilt not let them goe, beholde, I will smite all thy countrey with frogges: 
\verseNumber{3}And the riuer shall scral ful of frogges, which shall goe vp and come into thine house, and into thy chamber, where thou sleepest, and vpon thy bed, and into the house of thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine ouens, and into thy kneading troughes. 
\verseNumber{4}Yea, the frogges shall climbe vp vpon thee, and on thy people, and vpon all thy seruants. 
\verseNumber{5}Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Say thou vnto Aaron, Stretch out thine hande with thy rod vpon the streames, vpon the riuers, and vpon the ponds, and cause frogs to come vp vpon the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Aaron stretched out his hand vpon the waters of Egypt, and the frogges came vp, and couered the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{7}And the sorcerers did likewise with their sorceries, and brought frogges vp vpon the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray ye vnto the Lord, that hee may take away the frogges from mee, and from my people, and I will let the people goe, that they may doe sacrifice vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}And Moses said vnto Pharaoh, Concerning me, euen command when I shall pray for thee, and for thy seruants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogges from thee and from thine houses, that they may remaine in the riuer only. 
\verseNumber{10}Then he said, To morowe. And he answered, Be it as thou hast said, that thou maiest know, that there is none like vnto the Lord our God. 
\verseNumber{11}So the frogges shall depart from thee, and from thine houses, and from thy seruantes, and from thy people: onely they shall remaine in the riuer. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cryed vnto the Lord concerning the frogges, which hee had sent vnto Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{13}And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses: so the frogges died in the houses, in the townes, and in the fieldes. 
\verseNumber{14}And they gathered the together by heaps, and the land stanke of them. 
\verseNumber{15}But when Pharaoh sawe that hee had rest giuen him, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said. 
\verseNumber{16}Againe the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Say vnto Aaron, Stretche out the rod, and smite the dust of the earth, that it may bee turned to lyce throughout all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{17}And they did so: for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth: and lyce came vpon man and vpon beast: all the dust of the earth was lyce throughout all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe the enchanters assaied likewise with their enchantments to bring forth lyce, but they could not. So the lyce were vpon man and vpon beast. 
\verseNumber{19}Then saide the enchanters vnto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaohs heart remained obstinate, and hee hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said. 
\verseNumber{20}Moreouer the Lord sayd to Moses, Rise vp earely in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh (lo, hee will come forth vnto the water) and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serue me. 
\verseNumber{21}Els, if thou wilt not let my people goe, behold, I will send swarmes of flies both vpon thee, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, and into thine houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shalbe full of swarmes of flies, and the ground also whereon they are. 
\verseNumber{22}But ye land of Goshe, where my people are, wil I cause to be wonderfull in that day, so that no swarmes of flies shalbe there, that thou maiest know that I am the Lord in the middes of the earth. 
\verseNumber{23}And I will make a deliuerance of my people from thy people: to morowe shall this miracle be. 
\verseNumber{24}And the Lord did so: for there came great swarmes of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his seruants houses, so that through all the lande of Egypt, the earth was corrupt by the swarmes of flies. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and saide, Goe, doe sacrifice vnto your God in this lande. 
\verseNumber{26}But Moses answered, It is not meete to do so: for then we shoulde offer vnto the Lord our God that, which is an abomination vnto the Egyptians. Loe, can we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and they not stone vs? 
\verseNumber{27}Let vs go three dayes iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, as he hath commanded vs. 
\verseNumber{28}And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice vnto the Lord your God in the wildernesse: but goe not farre away, pray for me. 
\verseNumber{29}And Moses said, Behold, I will go out from thee, and pray vnto the Lord, that the swarmes of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people to morowe: but let Pharaoh from hencefoorth deceiue no more, in not suffering the people to sacrifice vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{30}So Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}And the Lord did according to the saying of Moses, and the swarmes of flies departed from Pharaoh, from his seruants, and from his people, and there remained not one. 
\verseNumber{32}Yet Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, and did not let the people goe.

\chapterNumber{9}Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people go, that they may serue me. 
\verseNumber{2}But if thou refuse to let them goe, and wilt yet holde them still, 
\verseNumber{3}Beholde, the hande of the Lord is vpon thy flocke which is in the fielde: for vpon the horses, vpon the asses, vpon the camels, vpon the cattell, and vpon the sheepe shalbe a mightie great moraine. 
\verseNumber{4}And the Lord shall doe wonderfully betweene the beastes of Israel, and the beastes of Egypt: so that there shall nothing dye of all, that pertaineth to the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Lord appointed a time, saying, To morowe the Lord shall finish this thing in this lande. 
\verseNumber{6}So the Lord did this thing on the morow, and all the cattel of Egypt dyed: but of the cattell of the children of Israel dyed not one. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Pharaoh sent, and beholde, there was not one of the cattell of the Israelites dead: and the heart of Pharaoh was obstinate, and hee did not let the people goe. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron, Take your handfull of ashes of the fornace, and Moses shall sprinkle them towarde the heauen in the sight of Pharaoh, 
\verseNumber{9}And they shall be turned to dust in all the land of Egypt: and it shalbe as a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast, thorow out all the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{10}Then they tooke ashes of the fornace, and stoode before Pharaoh: and Moses sprinkled them towarde the heauen, and there came a scab breaking out into blisters vpon man, and vpon beast. 
\verseNumber{11}And the sorcerers could not stande before Moses, because of the scab: for the scab was vpon the enchanters, and vpon all the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not vnto them, as the Lord had said vnto Moses. 
\verseNumber{13}Also the Lord said vnto Moses, Rise vp early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Let my people goe, that they may serue me. 
\verseNumber{14}For I will at this time send all my plagues vpon thine heart, and vpon thy seruants, and vpon thy people, that thou mayest knowe that there is none like me in all the earth. 
\verseNumber{15}For nowe I will stretch out mine hande, that I may smite thee and thy people with the pestilence: and thou shalt perish from the earth. 
\verseNumber{16}And in deede, for this cause haue I appointed thee, to shewe my power in thee, and to declare my Name throughout all the world. 
\verseNumber{17}Yet thou exaltest thy selfe against my people, and lettest them not goe. 
\verseNumber{18}Beholde, to morowe this time I will cause to raine a mightie great haile, such as was not in Egypt since the foundation thereof was laid vnto this time. 
\verseNumber{19}Send therefore nowe, and gather the cattell, and all that thou hast in the fielde: for vpon all the men, and the beastes, which are found in the field, and not brought home, the haile shall fall vpon them, and they shall die. 
\verseNumber{20}Such then as feared the word of the Lord among the seruants of Pharaoh, made his seruants and his cattell flee into the houses: 
\verseNumber{21}But such as regarded not the worde of the Lord, left his seruants, and his cattell in the fielde. 
\verseNumber{22}And the Lord saide to Moses, Stretche foorth thine hande towarde heauen, that there may be haile in all the land of Egypt, vpon man, and vpon beast, and vpon all the herbes of the fielde in the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Moses stretched out his rod towarde heauen, and the Lord sent thunder and haile, and lightening vpon the ground: and the Lord caused haile to raine vpon the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{24}So there was haile, and fire mingled with the haile, so grieuous, as there was none throughout all the lande of Egypt, since it was a nation. 
\verseNumber{25}And the haile smote throughout al ye land of Egypt all that was in the fielde, both man and beast: also ye haile smote all the herbes of ye field, and brake to pieces all the trees of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{26}Onely in the lande of Goshen (where the children of Israel were) was no haile. 
\verseNumber{27}Then Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said vnto them, I haue now sinned: the Lord is righteous, but I and my people are wicked. 
\verseNumber{28}Pray ye vnto the Lord (for it is ynough) that there be no more mightie thunders and haile, and I will let you goe, and yee shall tarie no longer. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Moses saide vnto him, Assoone as I am out of the citie, I will spreade mine hands vnto the Lord, and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more haile, that thou mayest knowe that the earth is the Lordes. 
\verseNumber{30}As for thee and thy seruants, I knowe afore I pray ye will feare before the face of the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{31}(And the flaxe, and the barley were smitten: for the barley was eared, and the flaxe was bolled.

\verseNumber{34}And when Pharaoh sawe that the raine and the haile and the thunder were ceased, hee sinned againe, and hardened his heart, both he, and his seruants. 
\verseNumber{35}So the heart of Pharaoh was hardened: neither would he let the children of Israel goe, as the Lord had said by Moses.

\chapterNumber{10}Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Goe to Pharaoh: for I haue hardened his heart, and the heart of his seruants, that I might worke these my miracles in the middes of his realme,

\verseNumber{3}Then came Moses and Aaron vnto Pharaoh, and they said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Ebrewes, Howe long wilt thou refuse to humble thy selfe before me? Let my people goe, that they may serue me. 
\verseNumber{4}But if thou refuse to let my people go, beholde, to morowe will I bring grashoppers into thy coastes. 
\verseNumber{5}And they shall couer the face of the earth, that a man can not see the earth: and they shall eate the residue which remaineth vnto you, and hath escaped from the haile: and they shall eate all your trees that bud in the fielde. 
\verseNumber{6}And they shall fil thine houses, and all thy seruants houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians, as neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers fathers haue seene, since the time they were vpon the earth vnto this day. So he returned, and went out from Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Pharaohs seruants saide vnto him, How long shall he be an offence vnto vs? let the men go, that they may serue the Lord their God: wilt thou first knowe that Egypt is destroyed? 
\verseNumber{8}So Moses and Aaron were brought againe vnto Pharaoh, and he saide vnto them, Goe, serue the Lord your God, but who are they that shall goe? 
\verseNumber{9}And Moses answered, We will go with our yong and with our olde, with our sonnes and with our daughters, with our sheepe and with our cattell will we goe: for we must celebrate a feast vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}And he said vnto them, Let the Lord so be with you, as I will let you goe and your children: beholde, for euill is before your face. 
\verseNumber{11}It shall not be so: nowe goe ye that are men, and serue the Lord: for that was your desire. Then they were thrust out from Pharaohs presence. 
\verseNumber{12}After, the Lord said vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hande vpon the lande of Egypt for the grashoppers, that they may come vpon the lande of Egypt, and eate all the herbes of the land, euen all that the haile hath left. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Moses stretched foorth his rod vpon the lande of Egypt: and the Lord brought an East winde vpon the land all that day, and al that night: and in the morning the East wind brought the grashoppers. 
\verseNumber{14}So the grashoppers went vp vpon all the land of Egypt, and remained in all quarters of Egypt: so grieuous Grashoppers, like to these were neuer before, neither after them shalbe such. 
\verseNumber{15}For they couered all the face of the earth, so that the lande was darke: and they did eate all the herbes of the lande, and all the fruites of the trees, which the haile had left, so that there was no greene thing left vpon the trees, nor among the herbes of the fielde throughout all the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and sayde, I haue sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. 
\verseNumber{17}And nowe forgiue mee my sinne onely this once, and pray vnto the Lord your God, that hee may take away from me this death onely. 
\verseNumber{18}Moses then went out from Pharaoh, and prayed vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{19}And the Lord turned a mightie strong West winde, and tooke away the grashoppers, and violently cast them into the red Sea, so that there remained not one grashopper in all the coast of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{20}But the Lord hardened Pharaohs heart, and hee did not let the children of Israel goe. 
\verseNumber{21}Againe ye Lord said vnto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heauen, that there may be vpon the lande of Egypt darkenesse, euen darkenesse that may be felt. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Moses stretched forth his hande towarde heauen, and there was a blacke darkenesse in all the land of Egypt three daies. 
\verseNumber{23}No man saw an other, neither rose vp from ye place where he was for three dayes: but all the children of Israel had light where they dwelt. 
\verseNumber{24}The Pharaoh called for Moses and said, Go, serue the Lord: onely your sheepe and your cattel shall abide, and your children shall go with you. 
\verseNumber{25}And Moses sayd, Thou must giue vs also sacrifices, and burnt offrings that wee may doe sacrifice vnto the Lord our God. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore our cattell also shall go with vs: there shall not an hoofe bee left, for thereof must we take to serue the Lord our God: neither doe wee knowe howe we shall serue the Lord, vntill we come thither.

\verseNumber{15}Seuen daies shall ye eat vnleauened bread, and in any case ye shall put away leauen the first day out of your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread from the first daie vntill the seuenth day, that person shalbe cut off from Israel. 
\verseNumber{16}And in the first day shalbe an holie assemblie: also in the seuenth day shalbe an holy assemblie vnto you: no worke shalbe done in them, saue about that which euery man must eate: that onely may ye do. 
\verseNumber{17}Ye shall keepe also the feast of vnleauened bread: for that same daye I will bring your armies out of the lande of Egypt: therefore ye shall obserue this day, throughout your posteritie, by an ordinance for euer. 
\verseNumber{18}In the first moneth and the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen, yee shall eate vnleauened bread vnto the one and twentieth day of the moneth at euen. 
\verseNumber{19}Seuen daies shall no leauen be founde in your houses: for whosoeuer eateth leauened bread, that person shalbe cut off from the Congregation of Israel: whether he bee a stranger, or borne in the land. 
\verseNumber{20}Ye shall eate no leauened bread: but in all your habitations shall ye eate vnleauened bread. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Moses called all the Elders of Israel, and saide vnto them, Choose out and take you for euerie of your housholdes a lambe, and kill the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{22}And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basen, and strike the lintell, and the doore cheekes with the blood that is in the basen, and let none of you goe out at the doore of his house, vntill the morning. 
\verseNumber{23}For the Lord will passe by to smite the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood vpon the lintel and on the two doore cheekes, the Lord wil passe ouer the doore, and wil not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to plague you. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore shall ye obserue this thing as an ordinance both for thee and thy sonnes for euer. 
\verseNumber{25}And when ye shall come into the land, which the Lord will giue you as hee hath promised, then ye shall keepe this seruice. 
\verseNumber{26}And when your children aske you, What seruice is this ye keepe? 
\verseNumber{27}Then ye shall saye, It is the sacrifice of the Lordes Passeouer, which passed ouer the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and preserued our houses. Then the people bowed them selues, and worshipped. 
\verseNumber{28}So the children of Israel went, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they. 
\verseNumber{29}Nowe at midnight, the Lord smote all the first borne in the lande of Egypt, from the first borne of Pharaoh that sate on his throne, vnto the first borne of the captiue that was in prison, and all the first borne of beastes. 
\verseNumber{30}And Pharaoh rose vp in the night, he, and all his seruants and all the Egyptians: and there was a great crye in Egypt: for there was no house where there was not one dead. 
\verseNumber{31}And hee called to Moses and to Aaron by night, and saide, Rise vp, get you out from among my people, both yee, and the children of Israel, and goe serue the Lord as ye haue sayde. 
\verseNumber{32}Take also your sheepe and your cattell as yee haue sayde, and depart, and blesse me also. 
\verseNumber{33}And the Egyptians did force the people, because they would send them out of the land in haste: for they said, We die all. 
\verseNumber{34}Therfore the people tooke their dough before it was leauened, euen their dough bound in clothes vpon their shoulders. 
\verseNumber{35}And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses, and they asked of ye Egyptians iewels of siluer and iewels of gold, and raiment. 
\verseNumber{36}And the Lord gaue the people fauour in the sight of the Egyptians: and they graunted their request: so they spoyled the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{37}Then the children of Israel tooke their iourney from Rameses to Succoth about sixe hundreth thousand men of foote, beside children. 
\verseNumber{38}And a great multitude of sundrie sortes of people went out with them, and sheepe, and beeues, and cattel in great abundance. 
\verseNumber{39}And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, and made vnleauened cakes: for it was not leauened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, neither coulde they tarie, nor yet prepare themselues vitailes. 
\verseNumber{40}So the dwelling of the children of Israel, while they dwelled in Egypt, was foure hundreth and thirtie yeres. 
\verseNumber{41}And when the foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres were expired, euen the selfe same day departed all the hostes of the Lord out of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{42}It is a night to be kept holie to the Lord, because he brought them out of the lande of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord, which all the children of Israel must keepe throughout their generations. 
\verseNumber{43}Also the Lord said vnto Moses and Aaron, This is the Lawe of the Passeouer: no stranger shall eate thereof. 
\verseNumber{44}But euerie seruant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 
\verseNumber{45}A stranger or an hyred seruant shall not eat thereof. 
\verseNumber{46}In one house shall it bee eaten: thou shalt carie none of ye flesh out of the house, neither shall ye breake a bone thereof. 
\verseNumber{47}All the Congregation of Israel shall obserue it. 
\verseNumber{48}But if a stranger dwell with thee, and will obserue the Passeouer of the Lord, let him circumcise all the males, that belong vnto him, and then let him come and obserue it, and he shall be as one that is borne in the land: for none vncircumcised person shall eate thereof. 
\verseNumber{49}One lawe shalbe to him that is borne in the land, and to the stranger that dwelleth among you. 
\verseNumber{50}Then all the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron: so did they. 
\verseNumber{51}And the selfe same day did the Lord bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

\verseNumber{3}Then Moses sayd vnto the people, Remember this day in the which ye came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage: for by a mightie hande the Lord brought you out from thence: therefore no leauened bread shall bee eaten.

\verseNumber{13}But euery first foale of an asse, thou shalt redeeme with a lambe: and if thou redeeme him not, then thou shalt breake his necke: likewise all the first borne of man among thy sonnes shalt thou bye out. 
\verseNumber{14}And when thy sonne shall aske thee to morowe, saying, What is this? thou shalt then say vnto him, With a mightie hande the Lord brought vs out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
\verseNumber{15}For when Pharaoh was harde hearted against our departing, the Lord then slewe all the first borne in the lande of Egypt: from the first borne of man euen to the first borne of beast: therefore I sacrifice vnto the Lord all the males that first open the wombe, but all the first borne of my sonnes I redeeme. 
\verseNumber{16}And it shalbe as a token vpon thine hand, and as frontlets betweene thine eyes, that the Lord brought vs out of Egypt by a mightie hande. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe when Pharaoh had let the people go, God caried them not by the way of the Philistims countrey, though it were neerer: (for God sayd, Lest the people repent whe they see warre, and turne againe to Egypt)

\verseNumber{16}This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded: gather of it euery man according to his eating an Omer for a man according to the number of your persons: euery man shall take for them which are in his tent.

\verseNumber{24}And they laied it vp till the morning, as Moses bade, and it stanke not, neyther was there any worme therein.

\verseNumber{26}Sixe dayes shall yee gather it, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath: in it there shalbe none.

\verseNumber{5}And Iethro Moses father in law came with his two sonnes, and his wife vnto Moses into the wildernes, where he camped by ye mout of God. 
\verseNumber{6}And he said to Moses, I thy father in law Iethro am come to thee, and thy wife and her two sonnes with her. 
\verseNumber{7}And Moses went out to meete his father in law, and did obeisance and kissed him, and eche asked other of his welfare: and they came into the tent. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Moses told his father in law all that the Lord had done vnto Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians for Israels sake, and all the trauaile that had come vnto them by the way, and howe the Lord deliuered them. 
\verseNumber{9}And Iethro reioyced at all the goodnesse, which the Lord had shewed to Israel, and because he had deliuered them out of the hande of the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{10}Therfore Iethro sayd, Blessed be the Lord who hath deliuered you out of the hande of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh: who hath also deliuered the people from vnder the hand of the Egyptians. 
\verseNumber{11}Now I know that the Lord is greater then all the gods: for as they haue dealt proudly with them, so are they recompensed. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Iethro Moses father in lawe tooke burnt offerings and sacrifices to offer vnto God. And Aaron and all the Elders of Israel came to eat bread with Moses father in law before God. 
\verseNumber{13}Now on the morow, when Moses sate to iudge the people, the people stoode about Moses from morning vnto euen. 
\verseNumber{14}And when Moses father in law saw all that he did to the people, he sayde, What is this that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thy selfe alone, and all the people stande about thee from morning vnto euen? 
\verseNumber{15}And Moses sayd vnto his father in law, Because the people come vnto me to seeke God. 
\verseNumber{16}When they haue a matter, they come vnto me, and I iudge betweene one and another, and declare the ordinances of God, and his lawes. 
\verseNumber{17}But Moses father in law said vnto him, The thing which thou doest, is not well. 
\verseNumber{18}Thou both weariest thy selfe greatly, and this people that is with thee: for the thing is too heauie for thee: thou art not able to doe it thy selfe alone. 
\verseNumber{19}Heare nowe my voyce, (I will giue thee counsell, and God shalbe with thee) be thou for the people to Godwarde, and report thou the causes vnto God, 
\verseNumber{20}And admonish them of the ordinances, and of the lawes, and shew them the way, wherein they must walke, and the worke that they must do. 
\verseNumber{21}Moreouer, prouide thou among al the people men of courage, fearing God, men dealing truely, hating couetousnesse: and appoynt such ouer them to be rulers ouer thousandes, rulers ouer hundreths, rulers ouer fifties, and rulers ouer tennes. 
\verseNumber{22}And let them iudge the people at all seasons: but euery great matter let them bring vnto thee, and let them iudge all small causes: so shall it be easier for thee, when they shall beare the burden with thee. 
\verseNumber{23}If thou do this thing, (and God so command thee) both thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go quietly to their place. 
\verseNumber{24}So Moses obeyed the voyce of his father in law, and did all that he had sayd: 
\verseNumber{25}And Moses chose men of courage out of all Israel, and made them heads ouer the people, rulers ouer thousandes, rulers ouer hundreths, rulers ouer fifties, and rulers ouer tennes. 
\verseNumber{26}And they iudged the people at all seasons, but they brought the hard causes vnto Moses: for they iudged all small matters themselues. 
\verseNumber{27}Afterward Moses let his father in law depart, and he went into his countrey.

\chapterNumber{19}In the third moneth, after the children of Israel were gone out of the lande of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernes of Sinai. 
\verseNumber{2}For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desart of Sinai, and camped in the wildernesse: euen there Israel camped before the mount. 
\verseNumber{3}But Moses went vp vnto God, for ye Lord had called out of the mount vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iaakob, and tell the children of Israel, 
\verseNumber{4}Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me. 
\verseNumber{5}Now therefore if ye wil heare my voyce in deede, and keepe my couenant, then ye shalbe my chiefe treasure aboue all people, though all the earth be mine. 
\verseNumber{6}Yee shall be vnto mee also a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him. 
\verseNumber{8}And the people answered all together, and sayd, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will doe. And Moses reported the wordes of the people vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Lo, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloude, that the people may heare, whiles I talke with thee, and that they may also beleeue thee for euer. (for Moses had tolde the wordes of the people vnto the Lord) 
\verseNumber{10}Moreouer, the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Goe to the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morow, and let them wash their clothes. 
\verseNumber{11}And let them be ready on the third day: for the thirde day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people vpon mount Sinai: 
\verseNumber{12}And thou shalt set markes vnto the people rounde about, saying, Take heede to your selues that ye goe not vp the mount, nor touche the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall surely die. 
\verseNumber{13}No hand shall touche it, but he shalbe stoned to death, or striken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not liue: when the horne bloweth long, they shall come vp into the mountaine. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 
\verseNumber{15}And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues. 
\verseNumber{16}And the thirde day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloude vpon the mount, and the sounde of the trumpet exceeding loude, so that all the people, that was in the campe, was afrayde. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount. 
\verseNumber{18}And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came downe vpon it in fire, and the smoke therof ascended, as the smoke of a fornace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly. 
\verseNumber{19}And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce. 
\verseNumber{20}(For the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai on the toppe of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses vp into the top of the mount, Moses went vp. 
\verseNumber{21}Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they breake not their boundes, to go vp to the Lord to gaze, least many of them perish. 
\verseNumber{22}And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy them. 
\verseNumber{23}And Moses sayde vnto the Lord, The people can not come vp into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged vs, saying, Set markes on the mountaine, and sanctifie it. 
\verseNumber{24}And the Lord sayd vnto him, Go, get thee downe, and come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake their boundes to come vp vnto the Lord, least he destroy them. 
\verseNumber{25}So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.

\verseNumber{15}The rich shall not passe, and the poore shall not diminish from halfe a shekel, when ye shall giue an offring vnto the Lord, for the redemption of your liues. 
\verseNumber{16}So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it vnto the vse of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memoriall vnto the children of Israel before the Lord for the redemption of your liues. 
\verseNumber{17}Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Thou shalt also make a lauer of brasse, and his foote of brasse to wash, and shalt put it betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein. 
\verseNumber{19}For Aaron and his sonnes shall wash their hands and their feete thereat. 
\verseNumber{20}When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they goe vnto the Altar to minister and to make the perfume of ye burnt offring to the Lord, they shall wash themselues with water, lest they die.

\verseNumber{14}Ye shall therefore keepe the Sabbath: for it is holy vnto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoeuer worketh therin, the same person shalbe euen cut off from among his people.

\chapterNumber{32}Bvt when the people sawe, that Moses taryed long or he came downe from the mountaine, the people gathered themselues together against Aaron, and sayde vnto him, Vp, make vs gods to goe before vs: for of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt) we knowe not what is become of him. 
\verseNumber{2}And Aaron said vnto them, Plucke off the golden earings, which are in the eares of your wiues, of your sonnes, and of your daughters, and bring them vnto me. 
\verseNumber{3}Then all ye people pluckt from them selues the golden earings, which were in their eares, and they brought them vnto Aaron. 
\verseNumber{4}Who receiued them at their handes, and facioned it with the grauing toole, and made of it a molte calfe: then they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee out of ye lad of Egypt 
\verseNumber{5}When Aaron sawe that, he made an Altar before it: and Aaron proclaimed, saying, To morow shalbe the holy day of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}So they rose vp the next day in the morning, and offred burnt offerings, and brought peace offrings: also the people sate them downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go, get thee downe: for thy people which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath corrupted their wayes. 
\verseNumber{8}They are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: for they haue made them a molten calfe and haue worshipped it, and haue offered thereto, saying, These be thy gods, O Israel, which haue brought thee out of the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{9}Againe the Lord said vnto Moses, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stiffe necked people. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe therefore let mee alone, that my wrath may waxe hote against them, for I wil consume the: but I wil make of thee a mighty people. 
\verseNumber{11}But Moses praied vnto the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, why doeth thy wrath waxe hote against thy people, which thou hast brought out of the lande of Egypt, with great power and with a mightie hand? 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore shall the Egyptians speake, and say, He hath brought them out maliciously for to slay them in the mountaines, and to consume them from the earth? turne from thy fearce wrath, and change thy minde from this euill towarde thy people. 
\verseNumber{13}Remember Abraham, Izhak, and Israel thy seruants, to whom thou swarest by thine owne selfe, and saydest vnto them, I wil multiply your seede, as the starres of the heauen, and all this land, that I haue spoken of, wil I giue vnto your seede, and they shall inherit it for euer. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Lord changed his minde from the euil, which he threatned to do vnto his people. 
\verseNumber{15}So Moses returned and went downe from the mountaine with the two Tables of the Testimonie in his hande: the Tables were written on both their sides, euen on the one side and on the other were they written. 
\verseNumber{16}And these Tables were the worke of God, and this writing was the writing of God grauen in the Tables. 
\verseNumber{17}And when Ioshua heard the noyse of the people, as they shouted, he said vnto Moses, There is a noyse of warre in the hoste. 
\verseNumber{18}Who answered, It is not the noyse of them that haue the victorie, nor the noyse of them that are ouercome: but I do heare ye noyse of singing. 
\verseNumber{19}Nowe, as soone as he came neere vnto the hoste, he sawe the calfe and the dancing: so Moses wrath waxed hote, and he cast the Tables out of his handes, and brake them in pieces beneath the mountaine. 
\verseNumber{20}After, he tooke the calfe, which they had made, and burned it in the fire, and ground it vnto powder, and strowed it vpon the water, and made the children of Israel drinke of it. 
\verseNumber{21}Also Moses said vnto Aaron, What did this people vnto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sinne vpon them? 
\verseNumber{22}Then Aaron answered, Let not the wrath of my Lord waxe fearce: Thou knowest this people, that they are euen set on mischiefe. 
\verseNumber{23}And they sayde vnto me, Make vs gods to go before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses (the man that brought vs out of the land of Egypt.) 
\verseNumber{24}Then I sayde to them, Ye that haue golde, plucke it off: and they brought it me, and I did cast it into the fire, and thereof came this calfe. 
\verseNumber{25}Moses therefore sawe that the people were naked (for Aaron had made them naked vnto their shame among their enemies) 
\verseNumber{26}And Moses stoode in ye gate of the campe, and sayde, Who pertaineth to the Lord? let him come to mee. And all the sonnes of Leui gathered themselues vnto him. 
\verseNumber{27}Then he said vnto them, Thus sayth ye Lord God of Israel, Put euery man his sworde by his side: go to and from, from gate to gate, through the hoste, and slay euery man his brother, and euery man his companion, and euery man his neighbour. 
\verseNumber{28}So the children of Leui did as Moses had commanded: and there fel of the people the same day about three thousand men. 
\verseNumber{29}(For Moses had said, Cosecrate your hands vnto the Lord this day, euen euery man vpon his sonne, and vpon his brother, that there may be giuen you a blessing this day) 
\verseNumber{30}And when the morning came, Moses sayde vnto the people, Yee haue committed a grieuous crime: but now I wil goe vp to the Lord, if I may pacifie him for your sinne. 
\verseNumber{31}Moses therefore went againe vnto ye Lord, and said, Oh, this people haue sinned a great sinne, and haue made them gods of golde. 
\verseNumber{32}Therefore now if thou pardon their sinne, thy mercy shall appeare: but if thou wilt not, I pray thee, rase me out of thy booke, which thou hast written. 
\verseNumber{33}Then the Lord sayd to Moses, Whosoeuer hath sinned against me, I will put out of my booke. 
\verseNumber{34}Go nowe therefore, bring the people vnto the place which I commanded thee: behold, mine Angel shall goe before thee, but yet in the day of my visitation I wil visite their sinne vpon them. 
\verseNumber{35}So the Lord plagued the people, because they caused Aaron to make ye calfe which he made.

\chapterNumber{33}Afterward the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Depart, goe vp from hence, thou, and the people (which thou hast brought vp out of lande of Egypt) vnto the lande which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak and to Iaakob, saying, Vnto thy seede will I giue it. 
\verseNumber{2}And I will send an Angel before thee and will cast out the Canaanites, the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites: 
\verseNumber{3}To a lande, I say, that floweth with milke and hony: for I will not goe vp with thee, because thou art a stiffe necked people, least I consume thee in the way. 
\verseNumber{4}And when the people heard this euill tydings, they sorowed, and no man put on his best rayment. 
\verseNumber{5}(For the Lord had said to Moses, Say vnto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffe necked people, I wil come suddenly vpon thee, and consume thee: therefore now put thy costly rayment from thee, that I may know what to do vnto thee) 
\verseNumber{6}So the children of Israel layed their good raiment from them, after Moses came downe from the mount Horeb. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Moses tooke his tabernacle, and pitched it without the host farre off from the hoste, and called it Ohel-moed. And whe any did seeke to the Lord, he went out vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, which was without the hoste. 
\verseNumber{8}And when Moses went out vnto the Tabernacle, all the people rose vp, and stood euery man at his tent doore, and looked after Moses, vntil he was gone into the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{9}And assoone as Moses was entred into the Tabernacle, the cloudie pillar descended and stood at the doore of the Tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe when all the people saw the cloudie pillar stand at the Tabernacle doore, all the people rose vp, and worshipped euery man in his tent doore. 
\verseNumber{11}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, face to face, as a man speaketh vnto his friende. After he turned againe into the hoste, but his seruant Ioshua the sonne of Nun a yong man, departed not out of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Moses sayde vnto the Lord, See, thou sayest vnto me, Leade this people forth, and thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt sende with mee: thou hast sayde moreouer, I knowe thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe therefore, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, shewe mee nowe thy way, that I may knowe thee, and that I may finde grace in thy sight: consider also that this nation is thy people. 
\verseNumber{14}And he answered, My presence shall go with thee, and I will giue thee rest. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he sayd vnto him, If thy presence go not with vs, cary vs not hence. 
\verseNumber{16}And wherein nowe shall it be knowen, that I and thy people haue found fauour in thy sight? shall it not be when thou goest with vs? so I, and thy people shall haue preeminence before all the people that are vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{17}And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, I will doe this also that thou hast saide: for thou hast founde grace in my sight, and I knowe thee by name. 
\verseNumber{18}Againe he sayde, I beseech thee, shewe me thy glory. 
\verseNumber{19}And he answered, I wil make all my good go before thee, and I wil proclaime the Name of the Lord before thee: for I will shewe mercy to whom I will shewe mercy, and will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion. 
\verseNumber{20}Furthermore he sayde, Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me, and liue. 
\verseNumber{21}Also the Lord sayd, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand vpon the rocke: 
\verseNumber{22}And while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in a cleft of the rocke, and will couer thee with mine hand whiles I passe by.

\verseNumber{3}But let no man come vp with thee, neither let any man be seene throughout all the mount, neyther let the sheepe nor cattell feede before this mount.

\verseNumber{14}Also the Candlesticke of light and his instruments, and his lampes with the oyle for the light: 
\verseNumber{15}Likewise the Altar of perfume and his barres, and the anoynting oyle, and the sweete incense, and the vaile of the doore at the entring in of the Tabernacle,

\verseNumber{20}Then all the Congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. 
\verseNumber{21}And euery one, whose heart encouraged him, and euery one, whose spirit made him willing, came and brought an offring to the Lord, for the worke of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and for all his vses, and for the holy garments. 
\verseNumber{22}Both men and women, as many as were free hearted, came and brought taches and earings, and rings, and bracelets, all were iewels of golde: and euery one that offered an offring of gold vnto the Lord: 
\verseNumber{23}Euery man also, which had blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linen, and goates heare, and rammes skinnes died red, and badgers skins, brought them. 
\verseNumber{24}All that offered an oblation of siluer and of brasse, brought the offring vnto the Lord: and euery one, that had Shittim wood for any maner worke of the ministration, brought it. 
\verseNumber{25}And all the women that were wise hearted, did spin with their hands, and brought ye spun worke, euen the blewe silke, and the purple, the skarlet, and the fine linen. 
\verseNumber{26}Likewise al the women, whose hearts were moued with knowledge, spun goates heare. 
\verseNumber{27}And ye rulers brought onix stones, and stones to be set in the Ephod, and in the brest plate: 
\verseNumber{28}Also spice, and oyle for light, and for the anoynting oyle, and for the sweete perfume. 
\verseNumber{29}Euery man and woman of the children of Israel, whose hearts moued the willingly to bring for all the worke which the Lord had commanded the to make by the hand of Moses, brought a free offring to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Moses sayde vnto the children of Israel, Beholde, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah, 
\verseNumber{31}And hath filled him with an excellent spirit of wisdome, of vnderstanding, and of knowledge, and in all maner worke, 
\verseNumber{32}To finde out curious workes, to worke in golde, and in siluer, and in brasse, 
\verseNumber{33}And in grauing stones to set them, and in karuing of wood, euen to make any maner of fine worke. 
\verseNumber{34}And he hath put in his heart that hee may teach other: both hee, and Aholiab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan: 
\verseNumber{35}Them hath he filled with wisdome of heart to worke all maner of cunning and broidred, and needle worke: in blewe silke, and in purple, in skarlet, and in fine linnen and weauing, euen to do all maner of worke and subtill inuentions. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{36}Then wrought Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all cunning men, to whome the Lord gaue wisedome, and vnderstanding, to knowe howe to worke all maner worke for the seruice of the Sanctuarie, according to all that the Lord had commanded. 
\verseNumber{2}For Moses had called Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all the wise hearted men, in whose heartes the Lord had giuen wisedome, euen as many as their hearts encouraged to come vnto that worke to worke it. 
\verseNumber{3}And they receiued of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the worke of the seruice of the Sanctuary, to make it: also they brought still vnto him free giftes euery morning. 
\verseNumber{4}So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy worke, came euery man from his worke which they wrought, 
\verseNumber{5}And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too much, and more then ynough for the vse of the worke, which the Lord hath commanded to be made. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Moses gaue a commandement, and they caused it to be proclaymed throughout the hoste, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more worke for the oblation of the Sanctuarie. So the people were stayed from offring. 
\verseNumber{7}For the stuffe they had, was sufficient for all the worke to make it, and too much. 
\verseNumber{8}All the cunning men therefore among the workemen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtaines of fine twined linnen, and of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: Cherubims of broydred worke made they vpon them. 
\verseNumber{9}The length of one curtaine was twentie and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtaine foure cubites: and the curtaines were all of one cise. 
\verseNumber{10}And he coupled fiue curtaines together, and other fiue coupled he together. 
\verseNumber{11}And he made strings of blewe silke by the edge of one curtaine, in the seluedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtaine in the seluedge in the second coupling. 
\verseNumber{12}Fiftie strings made he in the one curtaine, and fiftie strings made he in the edge of the other curtaine, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another. 
\verseNumber{13}After, he made fiftie taches of golde, and coupled the curtaines one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{14}Also he made curtaines of goates heare for the couering vpon the Tabernacle: he made them to the nomber of eleuen curtaines. 
\verseNumber{15}The length of one curtaine had thirtie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines were of one cise. 
\verseNumber{16}And hee coupled fiue curtaines by themselues, and sixe curtaines by themselues: 
\verseNumber{17}Also he made fiftie strings vpon the edge of one curtaine in the seluedge in the coupling, and fiftie strings made hee vpon the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling. 
\verseNumber{18}He made also fiftie taches of brasse to couple the couering that it might be one. 
\verseNumber{19}And he made a couering vpon the pauilion of rams skinnes dyed red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue. 
\verseNumber{20}Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to stand vp. 
\verseNumber{21}The length of a board was ten cubites, and the bredth of one board was a cubite, and an halfe. 
\verseNumber{22}One board had two tenons, set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boardes of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{23}So he made twentie boardes for the South side of the Tabernacle, euen full South. 
\verseNumber{24}And fourtie sockets of siluer made he vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one board for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder another board for his two tenons. 
\verseNumber{25}Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twentie boards, 
\verseNumber{26}And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder another boarde. 
\verseNumber{27}Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made sixe boardes. 
\verseNumber{28}And two boardes made he in the corners of the Tabernacle, for either side, 
\verseNumber{29}And they were ioyned beneath, and likewise were made sure aboue with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners. 
\verseNumber{30}So there were eight boards and their sixteene sockets of siluer, vnder euery board two sockets. 
\verseNumber{31}After, he made barres of Shittim wood, fiue for the boards in ye one side of ye Tabernacle, 
\verseNumber{32}And fiue barres for the boardes in the other side of the Tabernacle, and fiue barres for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West. 
\verseNumber{33}And he made the middest barre to shoote through the boards, from the one end to ye other. 
\verseNumber{34}He ouerlayd also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the barres, and couered the barres with golde. 
\verseNumber{35}Moreouer he made a vaile of blew silke, and purple, and of skarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broydred worke made he it: 
\verseNumber{36}And made thereunto foure pillars of Shittim, and ouerlayd them with golde: whose hookes were also of golde, and hee cast for them foure sockets of siluer. 
\verseNumber{37}And he made an hanging for the Tabernacle doore, of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linnen, and needle worke, 
\verseNumber{38}And the fiue pillars of it with their hookes, and ouerlayde their chapiters and their filets with golde, but their fiue sockets were of brasse. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{37}After this, Bezaleel made the Arke of Shittim wood, two cubites and an halfe long and a cubite and an halfe broade, and a cubite and an halfe hie: 
\verseNumber{2}And ouerlayde it with fine golde within and without, and made a crowne of golde to it rounde about, 
\verseNumber{3}And cast for it foure rings of golde for the foure corners of it: that is, two rings for the one side of it, and two rings for the other side thereof. 
\verseNumber{4}Also he made barres of Shittim wood, and couered them with golde, 
\verseNumber{5}And put the barres in the rings by the sides of the Arke, to beare the Arke. 
\verseNumber{6}And he made the Merciseate of pure golde: two cubites and an halfe was the length thereof, and one cubite and an halfe the breadth thereof. 
\verseNumber{7}And he made two Cherubims of gold, vpon the two endes of the Merciseate: euen of worke beaten with the hammer made he them. 
\verseNumber{8}One Cherub on the one ende, and another Cherub on the other ende: of the Merciseate made he the Cherubims, at ye two endes thereof. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Cherubims spread out their wings on hie, and couered the Merciseat with their wings, and their faces were one towards another: towarde the Merciseat were the faces of the Cherubims. 
\verseNumber{10}Also he made ye Table of Shittim wood: two cubites was the length thereof, and a cubite the breadth thereof, and a cubite and an halfe the height of it. 
\verseNumber{11}And hee ouerlayde it with fine golde, and made thereto a crowne of golde round about. 
\verseNumber{12}Also he made thereto a border of an hand breadth round about, and made vpon the border a crowne of golde round about. 
\verseNumber{13}And he cast for it foure rings of gold, and put the rings in the foure corners that were in the foure feete thereof. 
\verseNumber{14}Against the border were the rings, as places for the barres to beare the Table. 
\verseNumber{15}And he made the barres of Shittim wood, and couered them with golde to beare the Table. 
\verseNumber{16}Also he made the instruments for the Table of pure golde: dishes for it, and incense cuppes for it, and goblets for it, and couerings for it, wherewith it should be couered. 
\verseNumber{17}Likewise he made the Candlesticke of pure golde: of worke beaten out with the hammer made he the Candlesticke: and his shaft, and his branche, his bolles, his knops, and his floures were of one piece. 
\verseNumber{18}And sixe branches came out of the sides thereof: three branches of the Candlesticke out of the one side of it, and three branches of the Candlesticke out of the other side of it. 
\verseNumber{19}In one branche three bolles made like almondes, a knop and a floure: and in another branch three bolles made like almondes, a knop and a floure: and so throughout the sixe branches that proceeded out of the Candlesticke. 
\verseNumber{20}And vpon the Candlesticke were foure bolles after the facion of almondes, the knoppes thereof and the floures thereof: 
\verseNumber{21}That is, vnder euery two branches a knop made thereof, and a knop vnder the second branch thereof, and a knop vnder the thirde branche thereof, according to the sixe branches comming out of it. 
\verseNumber{22}Their knops and their branches were of the same: it was all one beaten worke of pure gold. 
\verseNumber{23}And he made for it seuen lampes with the snuffers, and snufdishes thereof of pure golde. 
\verseNumber{24}Of a talent of pure golde made he it with all the instruments thereof. 
\verseNumber{25}Furthermore he made the perfume altar of Shittim wood: the length of it was a cubite, and the breadth of it a cubite (it was square) and two cubites hie, and the hornes thereof were of ye same. 
\verseNumber{26}And he couered it with pure gold, both the top and the sides thereof rounde about, and the hornes of it, and made vnto it a crowne of golde round about. 
\verseNumber{27}And he made two rings of gold for it, vnder the crowne thereof in the two corners of the two sides thereof, to put barres in for to beare it therewith. 
\verseNumber{28}Also he made the barres of Shittim wood, and ouerlayde them with golde. 
\verseNumber{29}And he made the holy anointing oyle, and the sweete pure incense after ye apothecaries arte. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{38}Also he made the altar of the burnt offering of Shittim wood: fiue cubites was the length therof, and fiue cubites the breadth thereof: it was square and three cubites hie. 
\verseNumber{2}And hee made vnto it hornes in the foure corners thereof: the hornes thereof were of the same, and he ouerlayd it with brasse. 
\verseNumber{3}Also he made al the instruments of the altar: the ashpans, and the besoms, and the basins, the fleshhookes, and the censers: all the instruments thereof made he of brasse. 
\verseNumber{4}Moreouer he made a brasen grate wrought like a net to the Altar, vnder the compasse of it beneath in the middes of it, 
\verseNumber{5}And cast foure rings of brasse for the foure endes of the grate to put barres in. 
\verseNumber{6}And he made the barres of Shittim wood, and couered them with brasse. 
\verseNumber{7}The which barres he put into the rings on the sides of the altar to beare it withall, and made it hollow within the boardes. 
\verseNumber{8}Also he made the Lauer of brasse, and the foote of it of brasse of the glasses of the women that did assemble and came together at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{9}Finally he made the court on the South side full South: the hangings of the court were of fine twined linnen, hauing an hundreth cubites. 
\verseNumber{10}Their pillars were twentie, and their brasen sockets twentie: the hookes of the pillars, and their filets were of siluer. 
\verseNumber{11}And on the Northside the hanginges were an hundreth cubites: their pillars twentie, and their sockets of brasse twentie, the hookes of the pillars and their filets of siluer. 
\verseNumber{12}On the Westside also were hangings of fiftie cubites, their ten pillars with their ten sockets: the hookes of the pillars and their filets of siluer. 
\verseNumber{13}And toward ye Eastside, full East were hangings of fiftie cubites. 
\verseNumber{14}The hangings of the one side were fifteene cubites, their three pillars, and their three sockets: 
\verseNumber{15}And of the other side of the court gate on both sides were hangings of fifteene cubites, with their three pillars and their three sockets. 
\verseNumber{16}All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen: 
\verseNumber{17}But the sockets of ye pillars were of brasse: the hookes of the pillars and their filets of siluer, and the couering of their chapiters of siluer: and all the pillars of the court were hooped about with siluer. 
\verseNumber{18}He made also the hanging of the gate of the court of needle worke, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen euen twentie cubites long, and fiue cubites in height and bredth, like the hangings of the court. 
\verseNumber{19}And their pillars were foure with their foure sockets of brasse: their hookes of siluer, and the couering of their chapiters, and their filets of siluer. 
\verseNumber{20}But all the pins of the Tabernacle and of the court round about were of brasse. 
\verseNumber{21}These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I meane, of the Tabernacle of the Testimonie, which was appovnted by the commandement of Moses for the office of the Leuites by the hande of Ithamar sonne to Aaron the Priest. 
\verseNumber{22}So Bezaleel the sonne of Vri the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{23}And with him Aholiab sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a cunning workeman and an embroiderer and a worker of needle work in blew silke, and in purple, and in skarlet, and in fine linen. 
\verseNumber{24}All ye gold that was occupied in all ye worke wrought for the holy place (which was the gold of the offring) was nine and twentie talents, and seuen hundreth and thirtie shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{25}But the siluer of them that were numbred in the Congregation, was an hundreth talents, and a thousand seuen hundreth seuentie and fiue shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{26}A portion for a man, that is, halfe a shekel after ye shekel of the Sanctuarie, for all them that were numbred from twentie yeere olde and aboue, among sixe hundreth thousande, and three thousand, and fiue hundreth and fiftie men. 
\verseNumber{27}Moreouer there were an hundreth talentes of siluer, to cast ye sockets of ye Sanctuary, and the sockets of the vaile: an hundreth sockets of an hundreth talents, a talent for a socket. 
\verseNumber{28}But he made the hookes for the pillars of a thousande seuen hundreth and seuentie and fiue shekels, and ouerlayde their chapiters, and made filets about them. 
\verseNumber{29}Also the brasse of the offering was seuentie talents, and two thousande, and foure hundreth shekels. 
\verseNumber{30}Whereof he made the sockets to the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar, 
\verseNumber{31}And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets for the court gate, and al the pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{39}Moreouer they made garments of ministration to minister in the Sanctuarie of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: they made also the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had comanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{2}So he made the Ephod of gold, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen. 
\verseNumber{3}And they did beate the golde into thinne plates, and cut it into wiers, to worke it in ye blewe silke and in the purple, and in the skarlet, and in the fine linen, with broydred worke. 
\verseNumber{4}For the which they made shoulders to couple together: for it was closed by the two edges thereof. 
\verseNumber{5}And the broydred garde of his Ephod that was vpon him, was of the same stuffe, and of like worke: euen of golde, of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{6}And they wrought two Onix stones closed in ouches of golde, and graued, as signets are grauen, with the names of the children of Israel, 
\verseNumber{7}And put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones for a remembrance of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{8}Also he made the brestplate of broydred worke like the worke of the Ephod: to wit, of gold, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen. 
\verseNumber{9}They made the brest plate double, and it was square, an hand breadth long, and an hand breadth broad: it was also double. 
\verseNumber{10}And they filled it with foure rowes of stones. The order was thus, a Rubie, a Topaze, and a Carbuncle in the first rowe: 
\verseNumber{11}And in the seconde rowe, an Emeraude, a Saphir, and a Diamond: 
\verseNumber{12}Also in the thirde rowe, a Turkeis, an Achate, and an Hematite: 
\verseNumber{13}Likewise in the fourth rowe, a Chrysolite, an Onix, and a Iasper: closed and set in ouches of golde. 
\verseNumber{14}So the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, euen twelue after their names, grauen like signets euery one after his name according to the twelue tribes. 
\verseNumber{15}After, they made vpon the brest plate cheines at the endes, of wrethen worke and pure golde. 
\verseNumber{16}They made also two bosses of golde, and two golde rings, and put the two rings in the two corners of the brest plate. 
\verseNumber{17}And they put ye two wrethe cheines of gold in the two rings, in the corners of the brest plate. 
\verseNumber{18}Also the two other endes of the two wrethen chaines they fastened in the two bosses, and put the on the shoulders of the Ephod vpon the forefront of it. 
\verseNumber{19}Likewise they made two rings of gold, and put them in the two other corners of the brest plate vpon the edge of it, which was on the inside of the Ephod. 
\verseNumber{20}They made also two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath on the foreside of it, and ouer against his coupling aboue the broydered garde of the Ephod. 
\verseNumber{21}Then they fastened the brest plate by his rings vnto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blewe silke, that it might bee fast vpon the broydered garde of the Ephod, and that the brest plate should not be loosed from the Ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{22}Moreouer, he made the robe of the Ephod of wouen worke, altogether of blewe silke. 
\verseNumber{23}And the hole of the robe was in the middes of it, as the coller of an habergeon, with an edge about the coller, that it shoulde not rent. 
\verseNumber{24}And they made vpon the skirts of the robe pomegranates, of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linen twined. 
\verseNumber{25}They made also belles of pure gold and put the belles betweene the pomegranates vpon the skirtes of the robe rounde about betweene the pomegranates. 
\verseNumber{26}A bel and a pomegranate, a bel and a pomegranate round about the skirts of the robe to minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{27}After, they made coates of fine linen, of wouen worke for Aaron and for his sonnes. 
\verseNumber{28}And the miter of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, 
\verseNumber{29}And the girdle of fine twined linen, and of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, euen of needle worke, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{30}Finally they made the plate for the holy crowne of fine golde, and wrote vpon it a superscription like to the grauing of a signet, HOLINES TO THE LORD. 
\verseNumber{31}And they tied vnto it a lace of blewe silke to fasten it on hie vpon the miter, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{32}Thus was all the worke of the Tabernacle, euen of the Tabernacle of the Congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to al that the Lord had commanded Moses: so dyd they. 
\verseNumber{33}Afterwarde they brought the Tabernacle vnto Moses, the Tabernacle and al his instruments, his taches, his boards, his barres, and his pillars, and his sockets, 
\verseNumber{34}And the couering of rammes skinnes died red, and the couerings of badgers skinnes, and the couering vaile. 
\verseNumber{35}The Arke of the Testimony, and the barres thereof, and the Merciseate, 
\verseNumber{36}The Table, with all the instruments thereof, and the shewebread, 
\verseNumber{37}The pure Candlesticke, the lampes thereof, euen the lampes set in order, and all the instruments thereof, and the oyle for light: 
\verseNumber{38}Also the golden Altar and the anoynting oyle, and the sweete incense, and the hanging of the Tabernacle doore, 
\verseNumber{39}The brasen Altar with his grate of brasse, his barres and all his instruments, the Lauer and his foote. 
\verseNumber{40}The curtaines of the court with his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging to the court gate, and his cordes, and his pinnes, and all the instruments of the seruice of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{41}Finally, the ministring garmentes to serue in the Sanctuarie, and the holy garmentes for Aaron the Priest, and his sonnes garmentes to minister in the Priestes office. 
\verseNumber{42}According to euery poynt that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the worke. 
\verseNumber{43}And Moses beheld al the worke, and behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded: so had they done: and Moses blessed them.

\chapterNumber{40}Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}In the first day of the first moneth in the very first of the same moneth shalt thou set vp the Tabernacle, called ye Tabernacle of the Congregation: 
\verseNumber{3}And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile. 
\verseNumber{4}Also thou shalt bring in the Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlesticke, and light his lampes, 
\verseNumber{5}And thou shalt set ye incense Altar of gold before the Arke of the Testimonie, and put the hanging at the doore of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{6}Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{7}And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein. 
\verseNumber{8}Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate. 
\verseNumber{9}After, thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and anoynt the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy. 
\verseNumber{10}And thou shalt anoynt the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his instruments, and shalt sanctifie the Altar, that it may bee an altar most holie. 
\verseNumber{11}Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it. 
\verseNumber{12}Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water. 
\verseNumber{13}And thou shalt put vpon Aaron the holy garmentes, and shalt anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priestes office. 
\verseNumber{14}Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments, 
\verseNumber{15}And shalt anoynt them as thou diddest anoynt their father, that they may minister vnto mee in the Priestes office: for their anoynting shall be a signe, that the Priesthood shall be euerlasting vnto them throughout their generations. 
\verseNumber{16}So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he. 
\verseNumber{17}Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Moses reared vp the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boardes thereof, and put in the barres of it, and reared vp his pillars. 
\verseNumber{19}And he spred the couering ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of that couering on hie aboue it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{20}And he tooke and put the Testimonie in the Arke, and put the barres in the ringes of the Arke, and set the Merciseate on hie vpon the Arke. 
\verseNumber{21}He brought also the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the couering vaile, and couered the Arke of the Testimonie, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{22}Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile, 
\verseNumber{23}And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{24}Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{25}And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{26}Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle, 
\verseNumber{27}And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{28}Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{29}After, he set the burnt offring Altar without the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{30}Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with. 
\verseNumber{31}So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat. 
\verseNumber{32}When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{33}Finally, he reared vp the court rounde about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the court gate: so Moses finished the worke. 
\verseNumber{34}Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{35}So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{36}Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes. 
\verseNumber{37}But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended. 
\verseNumber{38}For the cloude of the Lord was vpon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their iourneyes.

\chapterNumber{1}Nowe the Lord called Moses, and spake vnto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say vnto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of cattell, as of beeues and of the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{3}If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the heard, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his owne voluntarie will at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{4}And he shall put his hande vpon the head of the burnt offering, and it shalbe accepted to the Lord, to be his atonement. 
\verseNumber{5}And he shall kill the bullocke before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall offer the blood, and shall sprinckle it round about vpon the altar, that is by the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{6}Then shall he fley the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces. 
\verseNumber{7}So the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall put fire vpon the altar, and lay the wood in order vpon the fire. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall lay the parts in order, the head and the kall vpon the wood that is in the fire which is vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{9}But the inwardes thereof and the legges thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burne all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheepe, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish, 
\verseNumber{11}And he shall kill it on the Northside of the altar before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall sprinckle the blood thereof rounde about vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{12}And he shall cut it in pieces, separating his head and his kall, and the Priest shall lay them in order vpon the wood that lyeth in the fire which is on the altar: 
\verseNumber{13}But he shall wash the inwardes, and the legges with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burne it vpon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{14}And if his sacrifice be a burnt offring to the Lord of ye foules, then he shall offer his sacrifice of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Priest shall bring it vnto the altar, and wring the necke of it asunder, and burne it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall bee shed vpon the side of the altar. 
\verseNumber{16}And he shall plucke out his maw with his fethers, and cast them beside the altar on the East part in the place of the ashes. 
\verseNumber{17}And he shall cleaue it with his wings, but not deuide it asunder: and the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar vpon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

\chapterNumber{2}And when any will offer a meate offering vnto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine floure, and he shall powre oyle vpon it, and put incense thereon, 
\verseNumber{2}And shall bring it vnto Aarons sonnes the Priestes, and he shall take thence his handfull of the flowre, and of the oyle with al the incense, and the Priest shall burne it for a memoriall vpon the altar: for it is an offering made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}But the remnant of the meate offering shalbe Aarons and his sonnes: for it is most holy of the Lordes offrings made by fire. 
\verseNumber{4}If thou bring also a meate offring baken in the ouen, it shalbe an vnleauened cake of fine floure mingled with oyle, or an vnleauened wafer anointed with oyle. 
\verseNumber{5}But if thy meate offring be an oblation of the frying pan, it shall be of fine flowre vnleauened, mingled with oyle. 
\verseNumber{6}And thou shalt part it in pieces, and power oyle thereon: for it is a meate offring. 
\verseNumber{7}And if thy meate offring be an oblation made in the caldron, it shalbe made of fine floure with oyle. 
\verseNumber{8}After, thou shalt bring the meate offering (that is made of these things) vnto the Lord, and shalt present it vnto the Priest, and he shall bring it to the altar, 
\verseNumber{9}And the Priest shall take from the meate offring a memoriall of it, and shall burne it vpon the altar: for it is an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}But that which is left of the meate offring, shalbe Aarons and his sonnes: for it is most holy of the offrings of the Lord made by fire. 
\verseNumber{11}All the meate offrings which ye shall offer vnto the Lord, shalbe made without leauen: for ye shall neither burne leauen nor honie in any offring of the Lord made by fire. 
\verseNumber{12}In the oblation of the first fruits ye shall offer them vnto the Lord, but they shall not be burnt vpon the altar for a sweete sauour. 
\verseNumber{13}(All the meate offrings also shalt thou season with salt, neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the couenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meate offring, but vpon all thine oblations thou shalt offer salt) 
\verseNumber{14}If then thou offer a meate offring of thy first fruites vnto the Lord, thou shalt offer for thy meate offering of thy first fruites eares of corne dryed by the fire, and wheate beaten out of the greene eares. 
\verseNumber{15}After, thou shalt put oyle vpon it, and lay incense thereon: for it is a meate offring. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Priest shall burne the memoriall of it, euen of that that is beaten, and of the oyle of it, with all the incense thereof: for it is an offring vnto the Lord made by fire.

\chapterNumber{3}Also if his oblation be a peace offering, if he will offer of the droue (whether it be male or female) he shall offer such as is without blemish, before the Lord, 
\verseNumber{2}And shall put his hande vpon the head of his offering, and kill it at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and Aarons sonnes the Priestes shall sprinkle the blood vpon the altar rounde about. 
\verseNumber{3}So he shall offer part of the peace offerings as a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, euen the fat that couereth the inwardes, and all the fat that is vpon the inwardes. 
\verseNumber{4}He shall also take away the two kidneis, and the fat that is on them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall on the liuer with the kidneis. 
\verseNumber{5}And Aarons sonnes shall burne it on the altar, with the burnt offering, which is vpon the wood, that is on the fire: this is a sacrifice made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}Also if his oblation be a peace offring vnto the Lord out of ye flocke, whether it be male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 
\verseNumber{7}If he offer a lambe for his oblation, then he shall bring it before the Lord, 
\verseNumber{8}And lay his hand vpon the head of his offring, and shall kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and Aarons sonnes shall sprinckle the blood thereof round about vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{9}After, of the peace offrings he shall offer an offring made by fire vnto the Lord: he shall take away the fat therof, and the rump altogether, hard by the backe bone, and the fat that couereth the inwardes, and all the fat that is vpon the inwards. 
\verseNumber{10}Also hee shall take away the two kidneis, with the fat that is vpon them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall vpon the liuer with the kidneis. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar, as the meat of an offring made by fire vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}Also if his offring be a goate, then shall he offer it before the Lord, 
\verseNumber{13}And shall put his hande vpon the head of it, and kill it before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the sonnes of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof vpon the altar round about. 
\verseNumber{14}Then he shall offer thereof his offring, euen an offring made by fire vnto the Lord, the fat that couereth the inwardes, and all the fatte that is vpon the inwardes. 
\verseNumber{15}Also hee shall take away the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, and vpon ye flankes, and the kall vpon the liuer with the kidneis. 
\verseNumber{16}So the Priest shall burne them vpon the altar, as the meate of an offering made by fire for a sweete sauour: all the fatte is the Lordes. 
\verseNumber{17}This shalbe a perpetual ordinance for your generations, throughout al your dwellings, so that ye shall eate neither fatte nor blood.

\chapterNumber{4}Moreouer the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, If any shall sinne through ignorance, in any of the commandementes of the Lord, (which ought not to be done) but shall doe contrary to any of them, 
\verseNumber{3}If the Priest that is anointed doe sinne (according to the sinne of the people) then shall he offer, for his sinne which hee hath sinned, a yong bullocke without blemish vnto the Lord for a sinne offring, 
\verseNumber{4}And hee shall bring the bullocke vnto the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord, and shall put his hande vpon the bullocks head, and kill the bullocke before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Priest that is anointed shall take of the bullocks blood, and bring it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the Priest shall dippe his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seuen times before the Lord, before the vaile of the Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{7}The Priest also shall put some of the blood before the Lord, vpon the hornes of the altar of sweete incense, which is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, then shall hee powre all the rest of the blood of the bullocke at the foote of the altar of burnt offring, which is at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{8}And hee shall take away all the fat of the bullocke for the sinne offring: to wit, the fat that couereth the inwardes, and all the fatte that is about the inwardes. 
\verseNumber{9}He shall take away also the two kidneis, and the fat that is vpon them, and vpon the flankes, and the kall vpon the liuer with the kidneis, 
\verseNumber{10}As it was taken away from the bullock of the peace offrings, and the Priest shall burne them vpon the altar of burnt offring. 
\verseNumber{11}But the skinne of the bullocke, and all his flesh, with his heade, and his legs, and his inwardes, and his dung shall he beare out. 
\verseNumber{12}So he shall cary the whole bullocke out of the host vnto a cleane place, where the ashes are powred, and shall burne him on ye wood in the fire: where ye ashes are cast out, shall he be burnt. 
\verseNumber{13}And if the whole Congregation of Israel shall sinne through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the multitude, and haue done against any of the commandements of the Lord which should not be done, and haue offended: 
\verseNumber{14}When the sinne which they haue committed shalbe knowen, then the Congregation shall offer a yong bullocke for the sinne, and bring him before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, 
\verseNumber{15}And the Elders of the Congregation shall put their handes vpon the head of the bullocke before the Lord, and he shall kill the bullocke before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the Priest that is anointed, shall bring of the bullockes blood into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, 
\verseNumber{17}And the Priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seuen times before the Lord, euen before the vaile. 
\verseNumber{18}Also he shall put some of ye blood vpon the hornes of the altar, which is before the Lord, that is in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then shall he powre all the rest, of the blood at ye foote of the altar of burnt offring, which is at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, 
\verseNumber{19}And he shall take all his fat from him, and burne it vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Priest shall doe with this bullocke, as he did with the bullocke for his sinne: so shall he do with this: so the Priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shalbe forgiuen them. 
\verseNumber{21}For he shall carie the bullocke without the hoste, and burne him as he burned the first bullock: for it is an offring for the sinne of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{22}When a ruler shall sinne, and do through ignorance against any of the commandements of the Lord his God, which should not be done, and shall offend, 
\verseNumber{23}If one shewe vnto him his sinne, which he hath committed, the shall he bring for his offring an hee goat without blemish, 
\verseNumber{24}And shall lay his hand vpon the heade of the he goate, and kill it in the place where he should kill the burnt offring before the Lord: for it is a sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{25}Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sinne offring with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the burnt offring altar, and shall powre the rest of his blood at the foote of the burnt offring altar, 
\verseNumber{26}And shall burne all his fat vpon the altar, as the fat of the peace offring: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him, concerning his sinne, and it shalbe forgiuen him.

\verseNumber{30}Then the Priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the burnt offring altar, and powre all the rest of the blood thereof at the foote of the altar, 
\verseNumber{31}And shall take away all his fat, as the fat of the peace offringes is taken away, and the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shalbe forgiuen him. 
\verseNumber{32}And if he bring a lambe for his sinne offring, he shall bring a female without blemish, 
\verseNumber{33}And shall lay his hand vpon the head of the sinne offring, and hee shall slay it for a sinne offring in the place where hee shoulde kill the burnt offring. 
\verseNumber{34}Then the Priest shall take of the blood of the sinne offring with his finger, and put it vpon the hornes of the burnt offring altar, and shall powre al the rest of the blood thereof at the foote of the altar. 
\verseNumber{35}And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fatte of the lambe of the peace offrings is taken away: then the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar with the oblations of the Lord made by fire, and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sinne that he hath committed, and it shalbe forgiuen him.

\chapterNumber{5}Also if any haue sinned, that is, If he haue heard the voyce of an othe, and hee can be a witnes, whether he hath seene or knowen of it, if hee doe not vtter it, he shall beare his iniquitie: 
\verseNumber{2}Either if one touche any vncleane thing, whether it be a carion of an vncleane beast, or a carion of vncleane cattel, or a carion of vncleane creeping things, and is not ware of it, yet he is vncleane, and hath offended:

\verseNumber{9}After he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sinne offring vpon the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be shed at the foote of the altar: for it is a sinne offering. 
\verseNumber{10}Also he shall offer the seconde for a burnt offring as the maner is: so shall the Priest make an atonement for him (for his sinne which hee hath committed) and it shalbe forgiuen him. 
\verseNumber{11}But if he be not able to bring two turtle doues, or two yong pigeons, then he that hath sinned, shall bring for his offring, the tenth parte of an Ephah of fine floure for a sinne offring, he shall put none oyle thereto, neither put any incense thereon: for it is a sinne offering.

\verseNumber{14}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{15}If any person transgresse and sinne through ignorance by taking away things consecrated vnto the Lord, hee shall then bring for his trespasse offring vnto the Lord a ramme without blemish out of the flocke, worth two shekels of siluer by thy estimation after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, for a trespasse offring. 
\verseNumber{16}So hee shall restore that wherein hee hath offended, in taking away of the holy thing, and shall put the fift part more thereto, and giue it vnto the Priest: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of ye trespasse offring, and it shalbe forgiuen him. 
\verseNumber{17}Also if any sinne and doe against any of the commandements of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and knowe not and sinne and beare his iniquitie, 
\verseNumber{18}Then shall he bring a ramme without blemishe out of the flocke, in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespasse offring vnto ye Priest: and the Priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred, and was not ware: so it shalbe forgiuen him.

\verseNumber{3}Or hath found that which was lost, and denieth it, and sweareth falsely, for any of these things that a man doeth, wherein he sinneth: 
\verseNumber{4}When, I say, he thus sinneth and trespasseth, he shall then restore the robbery that he robbed, or the thing taken by violence which hee tooke by force, or the thing which was deliuered him to keepe, or the lost thing which he founde, 
\verseNumber{5}Or for whatsoeuer he hath sworne falsely, he shall both restore it in the whole summe, and shall adde the fift parte more thereto, and giue it vnto him to whome perteyneth, the same day that he offreth for trespasse. 
\verseNumber{6}Also he shall bring for his trespasse vnto the Lord, a ramme without blemish out of the flocke in thy estimation worth two shekels for a trespasse offring vnto the Priest. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord, and it shall be forgiuen him, whatsoeuer thing he hath done, and trespassed therein. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}Commaund Aaron and his sonnes, saying, This is the lawe of the burnt offring, (it is the burnt offring because it burneth vpon the altar al the night vnto the morning, and the fire burneth on the altar) 
\verseNumber{10}And the Priest shall put on his linen garment, and shall put on his linen breeches vpon his flesh, and take away the ashes when the fire hath consumed the burnt offring vpon the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 
\verseNumber{11}After, he shall put off his garments, and put on other raiment, and cary the ashes foorth without the hoste vnto a cleane place. 
\verseNumber{12}But the fire vpon the altar shall burne thereon and neuer be put out: wherefore the Priest shall burne wood on it euery morning, and lay the burnt offering in order vpon it, and he shall burne thereon the fat of the peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{13}The fire shall euer burne vpon the altar, and neuer go out. 
\verseNumber{14}Also this is the lawe of the meate offring, which Aarons sonnes shall offer in the presence of the Lord, before the altar. 
\verseNumber{15}He shall euen take thence his handfull of fine flowre of the meate offring and of the oyle, and all the incense which is vpon the meat offring, and shall burne it vpon the altar for a sweete sauour, as a memoriall therefore vnto the Lord:

\verseNumber{17}It shall not be baken with leauen: I haue giuen it for their portion of mine offrings made by fire: for it is as the sinne offering and as the trespasse offring. 
\verseNumber{18}All the males among the children of Aaron shall eate of it: It shalbe a statute for euer in your generations concerning the offrings of the Lord, made by fire: whatsoeuer toucheth them shall be holy.

\verseNumber{21}In the frying panne it shalbe made with oyle: thou shalt bring it fryed, and shalt offer the baken pieces of the meate offering for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}And the Priest that is anointed in his steade, among his sonnes shall offer it: It is the Lordes ordinance for euer, it shall be burnt altogether. 
\verseNumber{23}For euery meate offring of the Priest shall be burnt altogether, it shall not be eaten. 
\verseNumber{24}Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{25}Speake vnto Aaron, and vnto his sonnes, and say, This is the Lawe of the sinne offering, In the place where the burnt offring is killed, shall the sinne offring be killed before the Lord, for it is most holy. 
\verseNumber{26}The Priest that offreth this sinne offring, shall eate it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of ye Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{27}Whatsoeuer shall touch the flesh thereof shalbe holy: and when there droppeth of the blood thereof vpon a garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it droppeth in the holy place. 
\verseNumber{28}Also the earthen pot that it is sodden in, shalbe broken, but if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall both be scoured and washed with water. 
\verseNumber{29}All the males among the Priestes shall eate thereof, for it is most holy.

\verseNumber{8}Also the Priest that offereth any mans burnt offring, shall haue the skinne of the burnt offring which he hath offered. 
\verseNumber{9}And all the meate offring that is baken in the ouen, and that is dressed in the pan, and in the frying pan, shall be the Priestes that offereth it. 
\verseNumber{10}And euery meate offering mingled with oyle, and that is dry, shall pertaine vnto all the sonnes of Aaron, to all alike. 
\verseNumber{11}Furthermore, this is the lawe of the peace offrings, which he shall offer vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}If he offer it to giue thankes, then he shall offer for his thankes offering, vnleauened cakes mingled with oyle, and vnleauened wafers anointed with oyle, and fine floure fryed with the cakes mingled with oyle. 
\verseNumber{13}He shall offer also his offring with cakes of leauened bread, for his peace offrings, to giue thankes. 
\verseNumber{14}And of all the sacrifice he shall offer one cake for an heaue offering vnto the Lord, and it shalbe the Priestes that sprinckleth the blood of the peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{15}Also the flesh of his peace offerings, for thankesgiuing, shalbe eaten the same day that it is offered: he shall leaue nothing thereof vntill the morning. 
\verseNumber{16}But if the sacrifice of his offring be a vow, or a free offering, it shalbe eaten the same day that he offreth his sacrifice: and so in the morning the residue thereof shalbe eaten. 
\verseNumber{17}But as much of the offered flesh as remaineth vnto the third day, shalbe burnt with fire. 
\verseNumber{18}For if any of the flesh of his peace offrings be eaten in the third day, he shall not be accepted that offereth it, neither shall it be reckoned vnto him, but shalbe an abomination: therefore ye person that eateth of it shall beare his iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{19}The flesh also that toucheth any vncleane thing, shall not be eaten, but burnt with fire: but of this flesh all that be cleane shall eate thereof. 
\verseNumber{20}But if any eate of the flesh of the peace offerings that pertaineth to the Lord, hauing his vncleannesse vpon him, euen the same person shalbe cut off from his people. 
\verseNumber{21}Moreouer, whe any toucheth any vncleane thing, as the vncleannesse of man, or of an vncleane beast, or of any filthie abomination, and eate of the flesh of the peace offrings, which pertaineth vnto the Lord, euen that person shalbe cut off from his people. 
\verseNumber{22}Againe ye Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{23}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, Ye shall eate no fat of beeues, nor of sheepe, nor of goates: 
\verseNumber{24}Yet the fat of the dead beast, and the fat of that, which is torne with beastes, shalbe occupied to any vse, but ye shall not eate of it. 
\verseNumber{25}For whosoeuer eateth the fat of the beast, of the which he shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, euen the person that eateth, shalbe cut off from his people. 
\verseNumber{26}Neither shall ye eate any blood, either of foule, or of beast in all your dwellings. 
\verseNumber{27}Euery person that eateth any blood, euen the same person shall be cut off from his people. 
\verseNumber{28}And the Lord talked with Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{29}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, Hee that offereth his peace offerings vnto the Lord, shall bring his gifte vnto the Lord of his peace offerings: 
\verseNumber{30}His handes shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire: euen the fatte with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be shaken to and from before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}Then the Priest shall burne the fatte vpon the Altar, and the breast shall be Aarons and his sonnes. 
\verseNumber{32}And the right shoulder shall ye giue vnto the Priest for an heaue offering, of your peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{33}The same that offreth the blood of ye peace offrings, and the fatte, among the sonnes of Aaron, shall haue the right shoulder for his parte. 
\verseNumber{34}For the breast shaken to and from, and the shoulder lifted vp, haue I taken of the children of Israel, euen of their peace offrings, and haue giuen them vnto Aaron the Priest and vnto his sonnes by a statute for euer from among the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{35}This is the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sonnes, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serue in the Priestes office vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{36}The which portions the Lord commanded to giue them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute for euer in their generations. 
\verseNumber{37}This is also the lawe of the burnt offring of the meate offring, and of the sinne offring, and of the trespasse offring, and of the consecrations, and of the peace offrings, 
\verseNumber{38}Which the Lord commanded Moses in the mount Sinai, when he commanded the children of Israel to offer their giftes vnto the Lord in the wildernesse of Sinai.

\chapterNumber{8}Afterwarde the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Take Aaron and his sonnes with him, and the garments and the anointing oyle, and a bullocke for the sinne offring, and two rammes, and a basket of vnleauened bread, 
\verseNumber{3}And assemble all the company at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{4}So Moses did as the Lord had commanded him, and the companie was assembled at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Moses said vnto the company, This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded to doe. 
\verseNumber{6}And Moses brought Aaron and his sonnes, and washed them with water, 
\verseNumber{7}And put vpon him the coate, and girded him with a girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the Ephod on him, which he girded with the broydred garde of the Ephod, and bounde it vnto him therewith. 
\verseNumber{8}After he put the brest plate thereon, and put in the breast plate the Vrim and the Thummim. 
\verseNumber{9}Also he put the miter vpon his head, and put vpon the miter on the fore front the golden plate, and the holy crowne, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{10}(Nowe Moses had taken the anointing oyle, and anoynted the Tabernacle, and al that was therein, and sanctified them, 
\verseNumber{11}And sprinkled thereof vpon the altar seuen times, and anointed the altar and all his instruments, and the lauer, and his foote, to sanctifie them) 
\verseNumber{12}And he powred of the anointing oyle vpon Aarons head, and anointed him, to sanctifie him. 
\verseNumber{13}After, Moses brought Aarons sonnes, and put coates vpon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonets vpon their heades, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{14}Then he brought the bullocke for the sinne offring, and Aaron and his sonnes put their handes vpon the head of the bullocke for the sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{15}And Moses slew him, and tooke the blood, which he put vpon the hornes of the Altar roud about with his finger, and purified the altar, and powred the rest of the blood at the foote of ye altar: so he sanctified it, to make reconciliation vpon it. 
\verseNumber{16}Then he tooke all the fatte that was vpon the inwardes, and the kall of the liuer and the two kidneis, with their fat, which Moses burned vpon the Altar. 
\verseNumber{17}But the bullocke and his hide, and his flesh, and his doung, hee burnt with fire without the host as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{18}Also hee brought the ram for the burnt offring, and Aaron and his sonnes put their hands vpon the head of the ramme. 
\verseNumber{19}So Moses killed it, and sprinkled the blood vpon the Altar round about, 
\verseNumber{20}And Moses cut the ram in pieces, and burnt the head with the pieces, and the fat, 
\verseNumber{21}And washed the inwardes and the legges in water: so Moses burnt the ram euery whit vpon ye Altar: for it was a burnt offring for a sweete sauour, which was made by fire vnto the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{22}After, he brought the other ram, the ram of consecrations, and Aaron and his sonnes layed their handes vpon the head of the ram, 
\verseNumber{23}Which Moses slewe, and tooke of the blood of it, and put it vpon the lappe of Aarons right eare, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Moses brought Aarons sonnes, and put of the blood on the lap of their right eares, and vpon the thumbes of their right handes, and vpon the great toes of their right feete, and Moses sprinckled the rest of the blood vpon the Altar round about. 
\verseNumber{25}And he tooke the fat and the rumpe and all the fat that was vpon the inwards, and the kall of the liuer, and the two kidneis with their fat, and the right shoulder. 
\verseNumber{26}Also he tooke of ye basket of ye vnleauened bread that was before the Lord, one vnleauened cake and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and vpon the right shoulder. 
\verseNumber{27}So hee put all in Aarons handes, and in his sonnes handes, and shooke it to and from before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{28}After, Moses tooke the out of their hands, and burnt them vpon the altar for a burnt offring: for these were consecrations for a sweete sauour which were made by fire vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{29}Likewise Moses tooke the breast of the ram of consecrations, and shooke it to and from before the Lord: for it was Moses portion, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{30}Also Moses tooke of the anointing oyle, and of the blood which was vpon the Altar, and sprinkled it vpon Aaron, vpon his garments, and vpon his sonnes, and on his sonnes garments with him: so hee sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sonnes, and his sonnes garments with him. 
\verseNumber{31}Afterward Moses saide vnto Aaron and his sonnes, Seethe the flesh at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and there eate it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sonnes shall eate it, 
\verseNumber{32}But that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread, shall ye burne with fire. 
\verseNumber{33}And ye shall not depart from the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation seuen dayes, vntill the dayes of your consecrations bee at an ende: for seuen dayes, saide the Lord, shall hee consecrate you, 
\verseNumber{34}As hee hath done this day: so the Lord hath commanded to doe, to make an atonement for you. 
\verseNumber{35}Therefore shall yee abide at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation day and night, seuen dayes, and shall keepe the watch of the Lord, that ye dye not: for so I am commanded.

\chapterNumber{9}And in the eight day Moses called Aaron and his sonnes, and the Elders of Israel:

\verseNumber{3}And vnto the children of Israel thou shalt speake, saying, Take yee an hee goate for a sinne offring, and a calfe, and a lambe, both of a yeere olde, without blemish for a burnt offring: 
\verseNumber{4}Also a bullock, and a ramme for peace offringes, to offer before the Lord, and a meate offring mingled with oyle: for to day the Lord will appeare vnto you. 
\verseNumber{5}Then they brought that which Moses commanded before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the assembly drewe neere and stood before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}(For Moses had sayde, This is the thing, which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and the glory of the Lord shall appeare vnto you) 
\verseNumber{7}Then Moses sayd vnto Aaron, Draw neere to the Altar, and offer thy sinne offering, and thy burnt offring, and make an attonement for thee and for the people: offer also the offring of the people, and make an atonement for them, as the Lord hath commanded. 
\verseNumber{8}Aaron therefore went vnto the Altar, and killed the calfe of the sinne offring, which was for himselfe. 
\verseNumber{9}And the sonnes of Aaron brought ye blood vnto him, and he dipt his finger in the blood, and put it vpon the hornes of the Altar, and powred the rest of the blood at the foote of the Altar. 
\verseNumber{10}But the fat and the kidneis and the kall of the liuer of the sinne offring, he burnt vpon the Altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{11}The flesh also and the hide hee burnt with fire without the hoste. 
\verseNumber{12}After, he slewe the burnt offering, and Aarons sonnes brought vnto him the blood, which he sprinckled round about vpon the Altar. 
\verseNumber{13}Also they brought the burnt offring vnto him with the pieces thereof, and the head, and he burnt them vpon the Altar. 
\verseNumber{14}Likewise he did wash the inwardes and the legs, and burnt them vpon the burnt offring on the Altar. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he offred the peoples offring, and tooke a goate, which was the sinne offring for the people, and slewe it: and offred it for sinne, as the first: 
\verseNumber{16}So he offred the burnt offring, and prepared it, according to the maner. 
\verseNumber{17}He presented also the meate offring, and filled his hand thereof, and beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning he burnt this vpon the Altar. 
\verseNumber{18}He slewe also the bullock, and the ram for the peace offrings, that was for the people, and Arons sonnes brought vnto him the blood, which he sprinkled vpon the Altar round about, 
\verseNumber{19}With the fat of the bullocke, and of the ram, the rumpe, and that which couereth the inwards and the kidneis, and the kall of the liuer. 
\verseNumber{20}So they layed the fat vpon the breasts, and he burnt the fat vpon the Altar. 
\verseNumber{21}But the breastes and the right shoulder Aaron shooke to and from before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{22}So Aaron lift vp his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came downe from offring of the sinne offring, and the burnt offring, and the peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{23}After, Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and came out, and blessed the people, and the glorie of the Lord appeared to all the people. 
\verseNumber{24}And there came a fire out from the Lord and consumed vpon the Altar the burnt offring and the fatte: which when all the people sawe, they gaue thankes, and fell on their faces.

\chapterNumber{10}But Nadab and Abihu, the sonnes of Aaron, tooke either of them his censor, and put fire therein, and put incense thereupon, and offred strange fire before the Lord, which hee had not commanded them.

\verseNumber{3}Then Moses sayde vnto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will bee sanctified in the that come neere me, and before all the people I will be glorified: but Aaron held his peace. 
\verseNumber{4}And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan the sonnes of Vzziel, the vncle of Aaron, and saide vnto them, Come neere, cary your brethre from before the Sanctuarie out of the hoste. 
\verseNumber{5}Then they went, and caried them in their coates out of the host, as Moses had comaunded. 
\verseNumber{6}After, Moses saide vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and Ithamar his sonnes, Vncouer not your heads, neither rent your clothes, least ye dye, and least wrath come vpon all ye people: but let your brethren, all the house of Israel bewayle the burning which the Lord hath kindled. 
\verseNumber{7}And go not yee out from the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, least ye dye: for the anointing oyle of the Lord is vpon you: and they did according to Moses commandement. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord spake vnto Aaron, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}Thou shalt not drinke wine nor strong drinke, thou, nor thy sonnes with thee, when yee come into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, lest ye die: this is an ordinance for euer throughout your generations, 
\verseNumber{10}That ye may put difference betweene the holy and the vnholy, and betweene the cleane and the vncleane, 
\verseNumber{11}And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath commanded them by the hand of Moses. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Moses saide vnto Aaron and vnto Eleazar and to Ithamar his sonnes that were left, Take the meate offring that remaineth of the offrings of the Lord, made by fire, and eate it without leauen beside ye altar: for it is most holy: 
\verseNumber{13}And ye shall eate it in the holy place, because it is thy duetie and thy sonnes duety of the offringes of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded. 
\verseNumber{14}Also the shaken breast and the heaue shoulder shall yee eate in a cleane place: thou, and thy sonnes, and thy daughters with thee: for they are giuen as thy duetie and thy sonnes duety, of the peace offringes of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}The heaue shoulder, and the shaken breast shall they bring with the offringes made by fire of the fat, to shake it to and from before the Lord, and it shalbe thine and thy sonnes with thee by a lawe for euer, as the Lord hath commanded. 
\verseNumber{16}And Moses sought the goate that was offred for sinne, and lo, it was burnt: therefore he was angrie with Eleazar and Ithamar the sonnes of Aaron, which were left aliue, saying, 
\verseNumber{17}Wherfore haue ye not eaten the sinne offring in the holy place, seeing it is most Holie? and God hath giuen it you, to beare the iniquitie of the Congregation, to make an atonement for them before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Beholde, the blood of it was not brought within the holy place: ye should haue eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

\verseNumber{21}But if the Priest looke on it, and there be no white heares therein, and if it bee not lower then the skin, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him vp seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{22}And if it spred abroad in the flesh, ye Priest shall pronounce him vncleane, for it is a sore. 
\verseNumber{23}But if the spot continue in his place, and growe not, it is a burning bile: therefore the Priest shall declare him to be cleane. 
\verseNumber{24}If there be any flesh, in whose skin there is an hote burning, and the quick flesh of ye burning haue a white spot, somewhat reddish or pale, 
\verseNumber{25}Then the Priest shall looke vpon it: and if the heare in that spot be changed into white, and it appeare lower then the skin, it is a leprosie broken out in the burning therefore the Priest shall pronounce him vncleane: for it is the plague of leprosie. 
\verseNumber{26}But if the Priest looke on it, and there be no white heare in the spot, and be no lower then the other skinne, but be darker, then the Priest shall shut him vp seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{27}After, the Priest shall looke on him the seuenth day: if it be growen abroad in the skinne, then the Priest shall pronounce him vncleane: for it is the plague of leprosie. 
\verseNumber{28}And if the spot abide in his place, not growing in the skin, but is darke, it is a rising of the burning: the Priest shall therefore declare him cleane, for it is the drying vp of the burning. 
\verseNumber{29}If also a man or woman hath a sore on the head or in the beard, 
\verseNumber{30}Then the Priest shall see his sore: and if it appeare lower then the skin, and there be in it a small yellow haire, then the Priest shall pronouce him vncleane: for it is a blacke spot, and leprosie of the head or of the beard. 
\verseNumber{31}And if the Priest looke on the sore of the blacke spotte, and if it seeme not lower then the skinne, nor haue any blacke heare in it, then the Priest shall shut vp him, that hath the sore of the blacke spot, seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{32}After, in the seuenth day the Priest shall looke on the sore: and if the blacke spot growe not, and there be in it no yelowe heare, and the blacke spot seeme not lower then the skinne, 
\verseNumber{33}Then he shalbe shauen, but the place of the blacke spot shall he not shaue: but the Priest shall shut vp him, that hath the blacke spot, seuen dayes more. 
\verseNumber{34}And the seuenth day the Priest shall looke on the blacke spot: and if the blacke spot growe not in the skinne, nor seeme lower then the other skinne, then the Priest shall clense him, and hee shall wash his clothes, and be cleane. 
\verseNumber{35}But if the blacke spot growe abroad in the flesh after his clensing, 
\verseNumber{36}Then the Priest shall looke on it: and if the blacke spot grow in the skin, the Priest shall not seeke for the yelowe heare: for he is vncleane. 
\verseNumber{37}But if ye blacke spot seeme to him to abide, and that blacke heare growe therein, the blacke spot is healed, he is cleane, and the Priest shall declare him to be cleane. 
\verseNumber{38}Furthermore if there bee many white spots in the skin of the flesh of man or woman, 
\verseNumber{39}Then the Priest shall consider: and if the spots in the skin of their flesh be somewhat darke and white withall, it is but a white spot broken out in the skin: therefore he is cleane. 
\verseNumber{40}And the man whose heare is fallen off his head, and is balde, is cleane. 
\verseNumber{41}And if his head lose the heare on the forepart, and be balde before, he is cleane. 
\verseNumber{42}But if there be in the balde head, or in the balde forehead a white reddish sore, it is a leprosie springing in his balde head, or in his balde forehead. 
\verseNumber{43}Therefore the Priest shall looke vpon it, and if the rising of the sore bee white reddish in his balde head, or in his bald forehead, appearing like leprosie in the skin of the flesh, 
\verseNumber{44}He is a leper and vncleane: therefore the Priest shall pronounce him altogether vncleane: for the sore is in his head. 
\verseNumber{45}The leper also in whom the plague is, shall haue his clothes rent, and his head bare, and shall put a couering vpon his lips, and shall cry, I am vncleane, I am vncleane. 
\verseNumber{46}As long as the disease shall be vpon him, he shalbe polluted, for he is vncleane: he shall dwell alone, without the campe shall his habitation be.

\verseNumber{49}And if the sore be greene or somewhat reddish in the garment or in ye skin, or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thing that is made of skin, it is a plague of leprosie and shalbe shewed vnto the Priest. 
\verseNumber{50}Then the Priest shall see the plague, and shut vp it that hath the plague, seuen dayes, 
\verseNumber{51}And shall looke on the plague the seuenth day: if the plague growe in the garment or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in the skinne, or in any thing that is made of skin, that plague is a fretting leprosie and vncleane. 
\verseNumber{52}And hee shall burne the garment, or the warpe, or the woofe, whether it bee wollen or linen, or any thing that is made of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a freating leprosie, therefore it shalbe burnt in the fire. 
\verseNumber{53}If the Priest yet see that the plague grow not in the garment, or in the woofe, or in whatsoeuer thing of skin it be, 
\verseNumber{54}Then the Priest shall commaund them to wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it vp seuen dayes more. 
\verseNumber{55}Againe ye Priest shall looke on the plague, after it is washed: and if the plague haue not changed his colour, though the plague haue spred no further, it is vncleane: thou shalt burne it in the fire, for it is a fret inwarde, whether the spot bee in the bare place of the whole, or in part thereof. 
\verseNumber{56}And if the Priest see that the plague bee darker, after that it is washed, he shall cut it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warpe, or out of the woofe. 
\verseNumber{57}And if it appeare stil in ye garment or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thing made of skin, it is a spreading leprie: thou shalt burne the thing wherein the plague is, in the fire. 
\verseNumber{58}If thou hast washed ye garment or ye warpe, or ye woofe, or whatsouer thing of skin it be, if the plague be departed therefrom, then shall it be washed the second time, and be cleane. 
\verseNumber{59}This is the lawe of the plague of leprosie in a garment of wollen or linnen, or in the warpe, or in the woofe, or in any thing of skin, to make it cleane or vncleane.

\chapterNumber{14}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}This is the law of the leper in the day of his clensing: that is, he shall be brought vnto the Priest, 
\verseNumber{3}And the Priest shall go out of the campe, and the Priest shall consider him: and if the plague of leprosie be healed in the leper, 
\verseNumber{4}Then shall the Priest commaund to take for him that is clensed, two sparrowes aliue and cleane, and cedar wood and a skarlet lace, and hyssope. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Priest shall commaund to kill one of the birdes ouer pure water in an earthen vessell. 
\verseNumber{6}After, he shall take the liue sparowe with the cedar wood, and the skarlet lace, and the hyssope, and shall dip them and the liuing sparowe in the blood of the sparowe slaine, ouer the pure water, 
\verseNumber{7}And hee shall sprinkle vpon him, that must be clensed of his leprosie, seuen times, and clense him, and shall let goe the liue sparowe into the broad fielde. 
\verseNumber{8}Then he that shall be clensed, shall wash his clothes, and shaue off all his heare, and wash himselfe in water, so he shalbe cleane: after that shall he come into the host, but shall tary without his tent seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{9}So in the seuenth day hee shall shaue off all his heare, both his head, and his beard, and his eye browes: euen all his heare shall he shaue, and shall wash his clothes and shall wash his flesh in water: so he shalbe cleane.

\verseNumber{13}And hee shall kill the lambe in the place where the sinne offring and the burnt offring are slaine, euen in the holy place: for as the sinne offring is the Priests, so is the trespasse offring: for it is most holy. 
\verseNumber{14}So the Priest shall take of the blood of the trespasse offring, and put it vpon the lappe of the right eare of him that shalbe clensed, and vpon the thumbe of his right hand, and vpon the great toe of his right foote. 
\verseNumber{15}The Priest shall also take of ye pint of oyle, and powre it into the palme of his left hand,

\verseNumber{20}So the Priest shall offer ye burnt offring and the meat offring vpon ye altar and the Priest shall make an atonement for him: so he shalbe cleane. 
\verseNumber{21}But if he be poore, and not able, then he shall bring one lambe for a trespasse offring to be shaken, for his reconciliation, and a tenth deale of fine flower mingled with oyle, for a meate offring, with a pinte of oyle. 
\verseNumber{22}Also two turtle doues, or two yong pigeons, as he is able, whereof the one shalbe a sinne offering, and the other a burnt offring,

\verseNumber{31}Such, I say, as he is able, the one for a sinne offring, and the other for a burnt offring with the meate offring: so the Priest shall make an atonement for him that is to bee clensed before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{32}This is the lawe of him which hath the plague of leprosie, who is not able in his clensing to offer the whole. 
\verseNumber{33}The Lord also spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 
\verseNumber{34}When ye be come vnto the land of Canaan which I giue you in possession, if I sende the plague of leprosie in an house of the land of your possession,

\verseNumber{44}Then the Priest shall come and see: and if the plague growe in the house, it is a freating leprosie in the house: it is therefore vncleane. 
\verseNumber{45}And hee shall breake downe the house, with the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and hee shall carie them out of the citie vnto an vncleane place. 
\verseNumber{46}Moreouer he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut vp, hee shall bee vncleane vntill the euen. 
\verseNumber{47}Hee also that sleepeth in the house shall wash his clothes: he likewise that eateth in the house, shall wash his clothes. 
\verseNumber{48}But if the Priest shall come and see, that the plague hath spread no further in the house, after the house be plaistered, the Priest shall pronounce that house cleane, for the plague is healed. 
\verseNumber{49}Then shall he take to purifie the house, two sparrowes, and cedar wood, and skarlet lace, and hyssope. 
\verseNumber{50}And hee shall kill one sparowe ouer pure water in an earthen vessell, 
\verseNumber{51}And shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssope, and the skarlet lace with the liue Sparrow, and dip them in the blood of the slayne Sparrow, and in the pure water, and sprinkle the house seuen times:

\verseNumber{53}Afterwarde he shall let go the liue sparowe out of the towne into the broad fieldes: so shall he make atonement for the house, and it shall be cleane. 
\verseNumber{54}This is the law for euery plague of leprosie and blacke spot, 
\verseNumber{55}And of the leprosie of the garment, and of the house, 
\verseNumber{56}And of the swelling, and of the skab, and of the white spot.

\verseNumber{3}After this sort shall Aaron come into the Holy place: euen with a yong bullocke for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring. 
\verseNumber{4}He shall put on the holy linnen coate, and shall haue linnen breeches vpon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linnen girdle, and shall couer his head with a linnen miter: these are the holy garments: therefore shall hee wash his flesh in water, when he doeth put them on. 
\verseNumber{5}And hee shall take of the Congregation of the children of Israel, two hee goates for a sinne offring, and a ramme for a burnt offring. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Aaron shall offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make an atonement for himselfe, and for his house. 
\verseNumber{7}And he shall take the two hee goates, and present them before the Lord at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Aaron shall cast lots ouer the two hee goates: one lot for the Lord, and the other for the Scape goate. 
\verseNumber{9}And Aaron shall offer the goat, vpon which the Lords lot shall fal, and make him a sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{10}But the goate, on which the lot shall fall to be the Scape goate, shalbe presented aliue before the Lord, to make reconciliation by him, and to let him go (as a Scape goate) into the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{11}Thus Aaron shall offer the bullocke for his sinne offring, and make a reconciliation for himselfe, and for his house, and shall kill the bullocke for his sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{12}And he shall take a censer full of burning coles from off the altar before the Lord, and his handfull of sweete incense beaten small, and bring it within the vayle, 
\verseNumber{13}And shall put the incense vpon the fire before the Lord, that the cloude of the incense may couer the Merciseat that is vpon the Testimonie: so he shall not dye. 
\verseNumber{14}And hee shall take of the blood of the bullocke, and sprinkle it with his finger vpon the Merciseat Eastward: and before the Merciseate shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seuen times. 
\verseNumber{15}Then shall he kill the goate that is the peoples sinne offring, and bring his blood within the vaile, and doe with that blood, as he did with the blood of the bullocke, and sprinckle it vpon the Merciseate, and before the Merciseate. 
\verseNumber{16}So he shall purge the Holy place from the vncleannes of the children of Israel, and from their trespasses of all their sinnes: so shall he do also for the Tabernacle of the Cogregation placed with them, in the middes of their vncleannesse. 
\verseNumber{17}And there shalbe no man in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, when he goeth in to make an atonement in the Holy place, vntill hee come out, and haue made an atonement for himselfe, and for his housholde, and for all the Congregation of Israel.

\verseNumber{19}So shall hee sprinkle of the blood vpon it with his finger seuen times, and clense it, and halowe it from the vncleannes of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{20}When he hath made an ende of purging the Holy place, and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the altar, then he shall bring the liue goate: 
\verseNumber{21}And Aaron shall put both his handes vpon the head of the liue goate, and confesse ouer him al the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their trespasses, in all their sinnes, putting them vpon the head of the goate, and shall sende him away (by the hand of a man appointed) into the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{22}So the goate shall beare vpon him all their iniquities into the land that is not inhabited, and he shall let the goate go into the wildernesse.

\verseNumber{24}Hee shall wash also his flesh with water in the Holy place, and put on his owne rayment, and come out, and make his burnt offring, and the burnt offring of the people, and make an atonement for himselfe, and for the people. 
\verseNumber{25}Also the fatte of the sinne offring shall he burne vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{26}And he that caried forth the goat, called the Scape goat, shall wash his clothes, and wash his flesh in water, and after that shall come into the hoste.

\verseNumber{11}For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I haue giuen it vnto you to offer vpon the altar, to make an atonement for your soules: for this blood shall make an atonement for the soule. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore I saide vnto ye children of Israel, None of you shall eate blood: neither the stranger that soiourneth among you, shall eate blood. 
\verseNumber{13}Moreouer whosoeuer he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that soiourne among the, which by hunting taketh any beast or foule that may be eaten, he shall powre out the blood thereof, and couer it with dust: 
\verseNumber{14}For ye life of all flesh is his blood, it is ioyned with his life: therefore I sayd vnto the children of Israel, Ye shall eate the blood of no flesh: for the life of al flesh is the blood thereof: whosoeuer eateth it, shalbe cut off. 
\verseNumber{15}And euery person that eateth it which dyeth alone, or that which is torne with beastes, whether it be one of the same countrey or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and wash himselfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen: after he shalbe cleane.

\verseNumber{23}Yet a bullocke, or a sheepe that hath any member superfluous, or lacking, such mayest thou present for a free offring, but for a vowe it shall not be accepted. 
\verseNumber{24}Ye shall not offer vnto ye Lord that which is bruised or crusshed, or broken, or cut away, neither shall ye make an offring thereof in your land, 
\verseNumber{25}Neither of ye hand of a strager shall ye offer ye bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: therefore shall they not be accepted for you. 
\verseNumber{26}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{27}When a bullocke, or a sheepe, or a goate shall be brought foorth, it shalbe euen seuen daies vnder his damme: and from the eight day forth, it shalbe accepted for a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{28}As for the cowe or the ewe, yee shall not kill her, and her yong both in one day.

\verseNumber{17}Ye shall bring out of your habitations bread for the shake offring: they shalbe two loaues of two tenth deales of fine floure, which shalbe baken with leauen for first fruites vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Also yee shall offer with the bread seuen lambes without blemish of one yeere olde, and a yong bullocke and two rams: they shalbe for a burnt offring vnto the Lord, with their meate offrings and their drinke offrings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{19}Then ye shall prepare an hee goate for a sinne offring, and two lambes of one yeere olde for peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Priest shall shake them to and from with the bread of the first fruits before the Lord, and with the two lambes: they shalbe holy to the Lord, for the Priest. 
\verseNumber{21}So ye shall proclayme the same day, that it may be an holie conuocation vnto you: ye shall doe no seruile worke therein: it shalbe an ordinance for euer in al your dwellinges, throughout your generations. 
\verseNumber{22}And when you reape the haruest of your land, thou shalt not rid cleane the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy haruest, but shalt leaue them vnto the poore and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{23}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{24}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the seuenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth shall ye haue a Sabbath, for the remembrance of blowing the trumpets, an holy conuocation. 
\verseNumber{25}Ye shall do no seruile worke therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{26}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{27}The tenth also of this seuenth moneth shalbe a day of reconciliation: it shalbe an holie conuocation vnto you, and yee shall humble your soules, and offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{28}And ye shall doe no worke that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{29}For euery person that humbleth not himselfe that same day, shall euen be cut off from his people. 
\verseNumber{30}And euery person that shall doe any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people. 
\verseNumber{31}Ye shall do no maner worke therefore: this shalbe a law for euer in your generations, throughout all your dwellings. 
\verseNumber{32}This shalbe vnto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your soules: in the ninth day of the moneth at euen, from euen to euen shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{33}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{34}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the fifteenth day of this seueth moneth shalbe for seuen dayes the feast of Tabernacles vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{35}In the first day shalbe an holie conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein. 
\verseNumber{36}Seuen daies ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, and in the eight day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire vnto the Lord: it is the solemne assemblie, yee shall doe no seruile worke therein. 
\verseNumber{37}These are the feastes of the Lord (which ye shall call holie conuocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, as burnt offring, and meate offring, sacrifice, and drinke offrings, euery one vpon his day, 
\verseNumber{38}Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your giftes, and beside al your vowes, and beside all your free offrings, which ye shall giue vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{39}But in the fifteenth day of the seueth moneth, when ye haue gathered in the fruite of the land, ye shall keepe an holie feast vnto the Lord seuen daies: in the first day shalbe a Sabbath: likewise in the eight day shalbe a Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{40}And yee shall take you in the first day the fruite of goodly trees, branches of palme trees, and the boughes of thicke trees, and willowes of the brooke, and shall reioyce before the Lord your God seuen daies. 
\verseNumber{41}So ye shall keepe this feast vnto the Lord seuen daies in the yere, by a perpetuall ordinance through your generations: in the seuenth moneth shall you keepe it. 
\verseNumber{42}Ye shall dwell in boothes seuen daies: all that are Israelites borne, shall dwel in boothes, 
\verseNumber{43}That your posterity may know that I haue made the children of Israel to dwell in boothes, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{44}So Moses declared vnto the children of Israel the feastes of the Lord.

\chapterNumber{24}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Commande the children of Israel that they bring vnto thee pure oyle oliue beaten, for the light, to cause ye lampes to burne continually. 
\verseNumber{3}Without the vaile of the Testimonie, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dresse them, both euen and morning before the Lord alwayes: this shalbe a lawe for euer through your generations. 
\verseNumber{4}He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually. 
\verseNumber{5}Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake. 
\verseNumber{6}And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{7}Thou shalt also put pure incense vpon the rowes, that in steade of the bread it may bee for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant. 
\verseNumber{9}And the bread shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance. 
\verseNumber{10}And there went out among the children of Israel the sonne of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this sonne of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel stroue together in the hoste. 
\verseNumber{11}So the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him vnto Moses (his mothers name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan) 
\verseNumber{12}And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{14}Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him. 
\verseNumber{15}And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne. 
\verseNumber{16}And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, let him beslaine. 
\verseNumber{17}He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death. 
\verseNumber{18}And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast. 
\verseNumber{19}Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him. 
\verseNumber{20}Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him. 
\verseNumber{21}And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine. 
\verseNumber{22}Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Moses tolde the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the hoste, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.

\chapterNumber{25}And the Lord spake vnto Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye shall come into the lande which I giue you, the lande shall keepe Sabbath vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}Sixe yeeres thou shalt sowe thy field, and sixe yeeres thou shalt cut thy vineyarde, and gather the fruite thereof. 
\verseNumber{4}But the seuenth yeere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande: it shall be the Lordes Sabbath: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{5}That which groweth of it owne accorde of thy haruest, thou shalt not reape, neither gather the grapes that thou hast left vnlaboured: for it shalbe a yeere of rest vnto the land. 
\verseNumber{6}And the rest of the lande shall be meate for you, euen for thee, and for thy seruant, and for thy mayde, and for thy hired seruant, and for the stranger that soiourneth with thee: 
\verseNumber{7}And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande shall all the encrease thereof be meate. 
\verseNumber{8}Also thou shalt number seuen Sabbaths of yeeres vnto thee, euen seuen times seuen yeere: and the space of the seuen Sabbaths of yeeres will be vnto thee nine and fourtie yeere. 
\verseNumber{9}Then thou shalt cause to blow the trumpet of the Iubile in the tenth day of the seuenth moneth: euen in the day of the reconciliation shall ye make the trumpet blowe, throughout all your lande. 
\verseNumber{10}And ye shall halowe that yeere, euen the fiftieth yeere, and proclaime libertie in the lande to all the inhabitants thereof: it shalbe the Iubile vnto you, and ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession, and euery man shall returne vnto his familie. 
\verseNumber{11}This fiftieth yeere shalbe a yeere of Iubile vnto you: ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes thereof, that are left vnlaboured. 
\verseNumber{12}For it is the Iubile, it shall be holy vnto you: ye shall eate of the encrease thereof out of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{13}In the yeere of this Iubile, ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession. 
\verseNumber{14}And when thou sellest ought to thy neighbour, or byest at thy neighbours hande, ye shall not oppresse one another: 
\verseNumber{15}But according to the nomber of yeeres after the Iubile thou shalt bye of thy neighbour: also according to the nomber of the yeeres of the reuenues, he shall sell vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{16}According to the multitude of yeeres, thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewnesse of yeeres, thou shalt abate the price of it: for the nomber of fruites doeth he sell vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{17}Oppresse not ye therefore any man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: for I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{18}Wherefore ye shall obey mine ordinances, and keepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie. 
\verseNumber{19}And the lande shall giue her fruite, and ye shall eate your fill, and dwell therein in safetie. 
\verseNumber{20}And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere, for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase? 
\verseNumber{21}I will sende my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring foorth fruite for three yeeres. 
\verseNumber{22}And ye shall sowe the eight yeere, and eate of the olde fruite vntill the ninth yeere: vntill the fruite thereof come, ye shall eate the olde. 
\verseNumber{23}Also the lande shall not be solde to be cut off from the familie: for the land is mine, and ye be but strangers and soiourners with me. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore in all the land of your possession ye shall graunt a redemption for the lande. 
\verseNumber{25}If thy brother be impouerished, and sell his possession, then his redeemer shall come, euen his neere kinsman, and bye out that which his brother solde. 
\verseNumber{26}And if he haue no redeemer, but hath gotten and founde to bye it out, 
\verseNumber{27}Then shall he count the yeeres of his sale, and restore the ouerplus to the man, to whome he solde it: so shall he returne to his possession. 
\verseNumber{28}But if he can not get sufficient to restore to him, then that which is solde, shall remaine in the hande of him that hath bought it, vntill the yere of the Iubile: and in the Iubile it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession. 
\verseNumber{29}Likewise if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled citie, he may bye it out againe within a whole yeere after it is solde: within a yeere may he bye it out. 
\verseNumber{30}But if it be not bought out within ye space of a ful yeere, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablished, as cut off from the familie, to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not goe out in the Iubile. 
\verseNumber{31}But the houses of villages, which haue no walles round about them, shalbe esteemed as the fielde of the countrey: they may be bought out againe, and shall goe out in the Iubile. 
\verseNumber{32}Notwithstanding, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons. 
\verseNumber{33}And if a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession shall goe out in the Iubile: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites are their possession among the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{34}But the fielde of the suburbes of their cities, shall not be solde: for it is their perpetuall possession. 
\verseNumber{35}Moreouer, if thy brother be impouerished, and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieue him, and as a stranger and soiourner, so shall he liue with thee. 
\verseNumber{36}Thou shalt take no vsurie of him, nor vantage, but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may liue with thee. 
\verseNumber{37}Thou shalt not giue him thy money to vsurie, nor lende him thy vitailes for increase. 
\verseNumber{38}I am the Lord your God, which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to giue you the lande of Canaan, and to be your God. 
\verseNumber{39}If thy brother also that dwelleth by thee, be impouerished, and be sold vnto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serue as a bond seruant, 
\verseNumber{40}But as an hired seruant, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee: he shall serue thee vnto the yeere of the Iubile. 
\verseNumber{41}Then shall he depart from thee, both hee, and his children with him, and shall returne vnto his familie, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne: 
\verseNumber{42}For they are my seruants, whom I brought out of the lande of Egypt: they shall not be solde as bondmen are solde. 
\verseNumber{43}Thou shalt not rule ouer him cruelly, but shalt feare thy God. 
\verseNumber{44}Thy bond seruant also, and thy bond maid, which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye bye seruants and maydes. 
\verseNumber{45}And moreouer of the children of the stragers, that are soiourners among you, of them shall ye bye, and of their families that are with you, which they begate in your lande: these shall be your possession. 
\verseNumber{46}So ye shall take them as inheritance for your children after you, to possesse them by inheritance, ye shall vse their labours for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule one ouer another with crueltie. 
\verseNumber{47}If a soiourner or a stranger dwelling by thee get riches, and thy brother by him be impouerished, and sell him selfe vnto the stranger or soiourner dwelling by thee, or to the stocke of the strangers familie, 
\verseNumber{48}After that he is solde, he may be bought out: one of his brethren may bye him out, 
\verseNumber{49}Or his vncle, or his vncles sonne may bye him out, or any of the kindred of his flesh among his familie, may redeeme him: either if he can get so much, he may bye him selfe out. 
\verseNumber{50}Then he shall recken with his byer from the yeere that he was solde to him, vnto the yere of Iubile: and the money of his sale shalbe according to the number of yeeres: according to the time of an hyred seruant shall he be with him. 
\verseNumber{51}If there be many yeeres behind, according to them he shall giue againe for his deliuerance, of the money that he was bought for. 
\verseNumber{52}If there remaine but fewe yeeres vnto the yeere of Iubile, then he shall count with him, and according to his yeeres giue againe for his redemption. 
\verseNumber{53}He shalbe with him yeere by yeere as an hired seruant: he shall not rule cruelly ouer him in thy sight. 
\verseNumber{54}And if he be not redeemed thus, he shall go out in the yeere of Iubile, he, and his children with him.

\chapterNumber{27}Moreouer the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

\verseNumber{4}But if it be a female, then thy valuation shall be thirtie shekels. 
\verseNumber{5}And from fiue yere old to twentie yere olde thy valuation shall be for the male twentie shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 
\verseNumber{6}But from a moneth old vnto fiue yere old, thy price of the male shall bee fiue shekels of siluer, and thy price of the female, three shekels of siluer. 
\verseNumber{7}And from sixty yeere olde and aboue, if he be a male, then thy price shalbe fifteene shekels, and for the female ten shekels. 
\verseNumber{8}But if he be poorer then thou hast esteemed him, then shall hee present himselfe before the Priest, and the Priest shall value him, according to the abilitie of him that vowed, so shall the Priest value him. 
\verseNumber{9}And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering vnto the Lord, all that one giueth of such vnto the Lord, shalbe holy. 
\verseNumber{10}He shall not alter it nor change it, a good for a badde, nor a badde for a good: and if hee change beast for beast, then both this and that, which was changed for it, shall be holy. 
\verseNumber{11}And if it be any vncleane beast, of which men do not offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, hee shall then present the beast before the Priest. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: and as thou valuest it, which art the Priest, so shall it bee. 
\verseNumber{13}But if he will bye it againe, then hee shall giue the fift part of it more, aboue thy valuation. 
\verseNumber{14}Also whe a man shall dedicate his house to be holy vnto the Lord, then the Priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad, and as ye Priest shall prise it, so shall the value be. 
\verseNumber{15}But if he that sanctified it, will redeeme his house, then hee shall giue thereto the fift part of money more then thy estimation, and it shalbe his. 
\verseNumber{16}If also a man dedicate to the Lord any grounde of his inheritance, then shalt thou esteeme it according to the seede therof: an Homer of barlie seede shalbe at fiftie shekels of siluer. 
\verseNumber{17}If he dedicate his field immediatly from the yeere of Iubile, it shall bee worth as thou doest esteeme it. 
\verseNumber{18}But if hee dedicate his fielde after the Iubile, then the Priest shall recken him the money according to ye yeeres that remaine vnto the yere of Iubile, and it shalbe abated by thy estimation. 
\verseNumber{19}And if he that dedicateth it, will redeeme the fielde, then he shall put the fift parte of the price, that thou esteemedst it at, thereunto, and it shall remaine his. 
\verseNumber{20}And if he will not redeeme the fielde, but the Priest sell the fielde to another man, it shalbe redeemed no more. 
\verseNumber{21}But the field shalbe holy to the Lord, whe it goeth out in the Iubile, as a fielde separate from common vses: the possession thereof shall be the Priests. 
\verseNumber{22}If a man also dedicate vnto ye Lord a fielde which he hath bought, which is not of the groud of his inheritance, 
\verseNumber{23}Then the Priest shall set the price to him, as thou esteemest it, vnto the yeere of Iubile, and he shall giue thy price the same day, as a thing holy vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{24}But in the yeere of Iubile, the fielde shall returne vnto him, of whome it was bought: to him, I say, whose inheritance the land was. 
\verseNumber{25}And all thy valuation shall bee according to the shekel of the Sanctuarie: a shekel conteyneth twenty gerahs. 
\verseNumber{26}Notwithstanding the first borne of the beastes, because it is the Lordes first borne, none shall dedicate such, be it bullocke, or sheepe; for it is the Lords. 
\verseNumber{27}But if it be an vncleane beast, then he shall redeeme it by thy valuation, and giue the fift part more thereto: and if it be not redeemed, then it shalbe solde, according to thy estimation. 
\verseNumber{28}Notwithstanding, nothing separate from the common vse that a man doeth separate vnto the Lord of all that he hath (whether it bee man or beast, or lande of his inheritance) may be solde nor redeemed: for euery thing separate from the common vse is most holy vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{29}Nothing separate from the common vse, which shall be separate from man, shalbe redeemed, but dye the death. 
\verseNumber{30}Also all the tithe of the lande both of the seede of the ground, and of the fruite of the trees is the Lords: it is holy to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}But if a man will redeeme any of his tithe, he shall adde the fift part thereto. 
\verseNumber{32}And euery tithe of bullock, and of sheepe, and of all that goeth vnder the rod, the tenth shalbe holy vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{33}He shall not looke if it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: els if he change it, both it, and that it was changed withall, shalbe holy, and it shall not be redeemed. 
\verseNumber{34}These are the commandements which the Lord commanded by Moses vnto the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

\verseNumber{15}Then shall the man bring his wife to the Priest, and bring her offering with her, the tenth part of an Ephah of barly meale, but he shall not powre oyle vpon it, nor put incense thereon: for it is an offring of ielousie, an offring for a remembrance, calling the sinne to minde:

\verseNumber{2}The children of Israel shall also celebrate the Passeouer at ye time appointed thereunto. 
\verseNumber{3}In the fourtenth day of this moneth at euen, ye shall keepe it in his due season: according to all the ordinances of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof shall ye keepe it. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, to celebrate the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{5}And they kept the Passeouer in the fouretenth day of the first moneth at euen in the wildernesse of Sinai: according to all that the Lord had comanded Moses, so did ye children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{6}And certaine men were defiled by a dead man, that they might not keepe the Passeouer the same day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron the same day. 
\verseNumber{7}And those men said vnto him, We are defiled by a dead man: wherefore are wee kept backe that we may not offer an offering vnto the Lord in the time thereunto appointed among the children of Israel? 
\verseNumber{8}Then Moses saide vnto them, Stande still, and I will heare what the Lord will commande concerning you. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{10}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, If any amog you, or of your posteritie shalbe vncleane by ye reason of a corps, or be in a log iourney, he shall keepe the Passeouer vnto ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{11}In the fourtenth day of the second moneth at euen they shall keepe it: with vnleauened bread and sowre herbes shall they eate it. 
\verseNumber{12}They shall leaue none of it vnto the morning, nor breake any bone of it: according to all the ordinance of the Passeouer shall they keepe it. 
\verseNumber{13}But the man that is cleane and is not in a iourney, and is negligent to keepe the Passeouer, the same person shalbe cut off from his people: because he brought not the offring of the Lord in his due season, that man shall beare his sinne. 
\verseNumber{14}And if a stranger dwell among you, and wil keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord, as the ordinance of the Passeouer, and as the maner thereof is, so shall he do: ye shall haue one lawe both for the stranger, and for him that was borne in the same lande. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the Tabernacle was reared vp, a cloude couered the Tabernacle, namely the Tabernacle of the Testimonie: and at euen there was vpon the Tabernacle, as the appearance of fire vntill the morning. 
\verseNumber{16}So it was alway: the cloude couered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 
\verseNumber{17}And when the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle, then afterwarde the children of Israel iourneyed: and in the place where the cloude abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents. 
\verseNumber{18}At the commandement of the Lord the children of Israel iourneyed, and at the comandement of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloude abode vpon the Tabernacle, they lay still. 
\verseNumber{19}And when the cloude taryed stil vpon the Tabernacle a long time, the childre of Israel kept the watch of the Lord, and iourneyed not. 
\verseNumber{20}So when the cloud abode a few dayes vpon the Tabernacle, they abode in their tents according to the comandement of ye Lord: for they iourneyed at the commandement of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}And though the cloud abode vpon the Tabernacle from euen vnto the morning, yet if the cloude was taken vp in the morning, then they iourneyed: whether by daye or by night the cloude was taken vp, then they iourneyed. 
\verseNumber{22}Or if the cloude taryed two dayes or a moneth, or a yeere vpon the Tabernacle, abiding thereon, the children of Israel abode still, and iourneyed not: but when it was taken vp, they iourneyed. 
\verseNumber{23}At the commandement of the Lord they pitched, and at the commandement of the Lord they iourneyed, keeping the watch of the Lord at the commandement of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

\chapterNumber{10}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Make thee two trumpets of siluer: of an whole piece shalt thou make the, that thou mayest vse them for the assembling of the Congregation, and for the departure of the campe. 
\verseNumber{3}And when they shall blowe with them, all the Congregation shall assemble to thee before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Cogregation. 
\verseNumber{4}But if they blowe with one, then the princes, or heades ouer the thousandes of Israel shall come vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{5}But if ye blow an alarme, then the campe of the that pitch on the East part, shall go forward. 
\verseNumber{6}If ye blowe an alarme the second time, then the hoste of them that lie on the Southside shall march: for they shall blowe an alarme when they remoue. 
\verseNumber{7}But in assembling the Congregation, ye shall blowe without an alarme. 
\verseNumber{8}And the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall blowe the trumpets, and ye shall haue them as a lawe for euer in your generations. 
\verseNumber{9}And when ye goe to warre in your lande against the enemie that vexeth you, ye shall blowe an alarme with the trumpets, and ye shall bee remembred before the Lord your God, and shalbe saued from your enemies. 
\verseNumber{10}Also in the day of your gladnesse, and in your feast dayes, and in the beginning of your moneths, ye shall also blow the trumpets ouer your burnt sacrifices, and ouer your peace offrings, that they may be a remembrance for you before your God: I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{11}And in the seconde yeere, in the seconde moneth, and in the twentieth day of the moneth the cloude was taken vp from the Tabernacle of the Testimonie. 
\verseNumber{12}And ye children of Israel departed on their iourneys out of the desart of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wildernesse of Paran. 
\verseNumber{13}So they first tooke their iourney at the comandement of the Lord, by ye hand of Moses. 
\verseNumber{14}In the first place went the standerd of the hoste of the children of Iudah, according to their armies: and Nahshon the sonne of Amminabad was ouer his band. 
\verseNumber{15}And ouer the band of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethaneel ye sonne of Zuar. 
\verseNumber{16}And ouer the band of the tribe of the children of Zebulun was Eliab the sonne of Helon. 
\verseNumber{17}When the Tabernacle was taken downe, then the sonnes of Gershon, and the sonnes of Merari went forward bearing the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{18}After, departed the standerd of the hoste of Reuben, according to their armies, and ouer his band was Elizur the sonne of Shedeur. 
\verseNumber{19}And ouer the band of the tribe of ye children of Simeon was Shelumiel the sonne of Shurishaddai. 
\verseNumber{20}And ouer the bande of the tribe of ye children of Gad was Eliasaph the sonne of Deuel. 
\verseNumber{21}The Kohathites also went forward and bare the Sanctuarie, and the former did set vp the Tabernacle against they came. 
\verseNumber{22}Then the standerd of the hoste of the children of Ephraim went forward according to their armies, and ouer his bande was Elishama the sonne of Ammiud. 
\verseNumber{23}And ouer the band of the tribe of ye sonnes of Manasseh was Gamliel the sonne of Pedazur. 
\verseNumber{24}And ouer the band of ye tribe of the sonnes of Beniamin was Abidan the sonne of Gideoni. 
\verseNumber{25}Last, the standerd of the hoste of the children of Dan marched, gathering all ye hostes according to their armies: and ouer his bande was Ahiezer the sonne of Ammishaddai. 
\verseNumber{26}And ouer the bande of the tribe of the children of Asher was Pagiel the sonne of Ocran. 
\verseNumber{27}And ouer the bande of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira ye sonne of Enan. 
\verseNumber{28}These were the remouings of the children of Israel according to their armies, whe they marched. 
\verseNumber{29}After, Moses said vnto Hobab ye sonne of Reuel the Midianite, ye father in law of Moses, We go into the place, of which ye Lord said, I will giue it you: Come thou with vs, and we wil doe thee good: for ye Lord hath promised good vnto Israel. 
\verseNumber{30}And he answered him, I will not goe: but I will depart to mine owne countrey, and to my kindred. 
\verseNumber{31}Then he sayd, I pray thee, leaue vs not: for thou knowest our camping places in the wildernesse: therefore thou mayest be our guide. 
\verseNumber{32}And if thou go with vs, what goodnes the Lord shall shew vnto vs, the same will we shewe vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{33}So they departed from the mount of the Lord, three dayes iourney: and the Arke of the couenant of the Lord went before them in the three dayes iourney, to searche out a resting place for them. 
\verseNumber{34}And the cloude of the Lord was vpon the by day, when they went out of the campe. 
\verseNumber{35}And when the Arke went forwarde, Moses saide, Rise vp, Lord, and let thine enemies bee scattered, and let them that hate thee, flee before thee. 
\verseNumber{36}And when it rested, hee sayde, Returne, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel.

\chapterNumber{11}When the people became murmurers, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it, therefore his wrath was kindled, and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed the vtmost parte of the hoste. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the people cryed vnto Moses: and when Moses praied vnto the Lord, the fire was quenched. 
\verseNumber{3}And he called the name of that place Taberah, because the fire of the Lord burnt among them. 
\verseNumber{4}And a nomber of people that was amog them, fell a lusting, and turned away, and the children of Israel also wept, and saide, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate? 
\verseNumber{5}We remember the fish which we did eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the pepons, and the leekes, and the onions, and the garleke. 
\verseNumber{6}But now our soule is dryed away, we can see nothing but this Man. 
\verseNumber{7}(The Man also was as coriander seede, and his colour like the colour of bdelium. 
\verseNumber{8}The people went about and gathered it, and ground it in milles, or beat it in morters, and baked it in a cauldron, and made cakes of it, and the taste of it was like vnto the taste of fresh oyle. 
\verseNumber{9}And when the dewe fell downe vpon the hoste in the night, the Man fell with it) 
\verseNumber{10}Then Moses heard the people weepe throughout their families, euery man in the doore of his tent, and the wrath of the Lord was grieuously kindled: also Moses was grieued. 
\verseNumber{11}And Moses saide vnto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou vexed thy seruant? and why haue I not found fauour in thy sight, seeing thou hast put the charge of al this people vpon mee? 
\verseNumber{12}Haue I conceiued al this people? or haue I begotte them, that thou shouldest say vnto me, Cary them in thy bosome (as a nurse beareth the sucking childe) vnto the lande, for the which thou swarest vnto their fathers? 
\verseNumber{13}Where should I haue flesh to giue vnto al this people? for they weepe vnto me, saying, Giue vs flesh that we may eate. 
\verseNumber{14}I am not able to beare al this people alone, for it is too heauie for me. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore if thou deale thus with mee, I pray thee, if I haue founde fauour in thy sight, kill me, that I behold not my miserie. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Gather vnto me seuetie men of ye Elders of Israel, whome thou knowest, that they are the Elders of the people, and gouernonrs ouer them, and bring them vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and let them stand there with thee, 
\verseNumber{17}And I will come downe, and talke with thee there, and take of the Spirite, which is vpon thee, and put vpon them, and they shall beare the burthen of the people with thee: so thou shalt not beare it alone. 
\verseNumber{18}Furthermore thou shalt saye vnto the people, Bee sanctified against to morowe, and yee shall eate flesh: for you haue wept in the eares of the Lord, saying, Who shall giue vs flesh to eate? for we were better in Egypt: therefore the Lord will giue you flesh, and ye shall eate. 
\verseNumber{19}Ye shall not eat one day nor two daies, nor fiue daies, neither ten daies, nor twentie dayes, 
\verseNumber{20}But a whole moneth, vntill it come out at your nostrels, and bee lothesome vnto you, because ye haue contemned the Lord, which is among you, and haue wept before him, saying, Why came we hither out of Egypt? 
\verseNumber{21}And Moses saide, Six hundreth thousande footemen are there of the people, among whom I am: and thou saiest, I will giue them flesh, that they may eate a moneth long. 
\verseNumber{22}Shall the sheepe and the beeues be slaine for them, to finde them? either shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to suffice them? 
\verseNumber{23}And the Lord saide vnto Moses, Is the Lordes hand shortened? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to passe vnto thee, or no. 
\verseNumber{24}So Moses went out, and told the people the wordes of the Lord, and gathered seuentie men of the Elders of the people, and set them round about the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{25}Then the Lord came downe in a cloude, and spake vnto him, and tooke of the Spirit that was vpon him, and put it vpon the seuentie Ancient men: and when the Spirit rested vpon them, then they prophecied, and did not cease. 
\verseNumber{26}But there remained two of the men in the hoste: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad, and the Spirit rested vpon them, (for they were of them that were written, and went not out vnto the Tabernacle) and they prophecied in the hoste. 
\verseNumber{27}Then there ranne a yong man, and tolde Moses, and saide, Eldad and Medad doe prophesie in the hoste. 
\verseNumber{28}And Ioshua the sonne of Nun the seruant of Moses one of his yong men answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 
\verseNumber{29}But Moses saide vnto him, Enuiest thou for my sake? yea, would God that all the Lordes people were Prophets, and that the Lord woulde put his Spirit vpon them. 
\verseNumber{30}And Moses returned into the hoste, he and the Elders of Israel. 
\verseNumber{31}Then there went foorth a winde from the Lord, and brought quailes from the Sea, and let them fall vpon the campe, a dayes iourney on this side, and a dayes iourney on the other side, round about the hoste, and they were about two cubites aboue the earth. 
\verseNumber{32}Then the people arose, al that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quailes: he that gathered the least, gathered ten Homers full, and they spred them abroade for their vse round about the hoste. 
\verseNumber{33}While the flesh was yet betweene their teeth, before it was chewed, euen the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with an exceeding great plague. 
\verseNumber{34}So the name of the place was called, Kibroth-hattaauah: for there they buried the people that fell a lusting. 
\verseNumber{35}From Kibroth-hattaauah ye people tooke their iourney to Hazeroth, and abode at Hazeroth.

\chapterNumber{12}Afterward Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, because of the woman of Ethiopia whome hee had maried (for hee had married a woman of Ethiopia) 
\verseNumber{2}And they saide, What? hath the Lord spoken but onely by Moses? hath he not spoken also by vs? and the Lord heard this. 
\verseNumber{3}(But Moses was a verie meeke man, aboue all the men that were vpon the earth) 
\verseNumber{4}And by and by the Lord sayd vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, and vnto Miriam, come out yee three vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and they three came forth. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the Lord came downe in the pillar of the cloude, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth. 
\verseNumber{6}And hee saide, Heare nowe my wordes, If there be a Prophet of the Lord among you, I will be knowen to him by a vision, and will speake vnto him by dreame. 
\verseNumber{7}My seruant Moses is not so, who is faithfull in all mine house. 
\verseNumber{8}Vnto him will I speake mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in darke wordes, but hee shall see the similitude of the Lord. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speake against my seruant, euen against Moses? 
\verseNumber{9}Thus the Lord was very angrie with them, and departed. 
\verseNumber{10}Also the cloude departed from the Tabernacle: and beholde, Miriam was leprous like snowe: and Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, she was leprous. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Aaron saide vnto Moses, Alas, my Lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, which we haue foolishly committed and wherein we haue sinned. 
\verseNumber{12}Let her not, I pray thee, be as one dead, of whome the flesh is halfe consumed, when he commeth out of his mothers wombe. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Moses cryed vnto the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech thee, heale her nowe. 
\verseNumber{14}And the Lord said vnto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, shoulde she not haue bene ashamed seuen dayes? let her be shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and after she shall bee receiued. 
\verseNumber{15}So Miriam was shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and the people remooued not, till Miriam was brought in againe.

\chapterNumber{13}Then afterwarde the people remooued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wildernesse of Paran. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}Sende thou men out to search the lande of Canaan which I giue vnto the children of Israel: of euery tribe of their fathers shall ye sende a man, such as are all rulers among them. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Moses sent them out of the wildernesse of Paran at the commandement of the Lord: all those men were heades of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}Also their names are these: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the sonne of Zaccur: 
\verseNumber{6}Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the sonne of Hori: 
\verseNumber{7}Of the tribe of Iudah, Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: 
\verseNumber{8}Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the sonne of Ioseph: 
\verseNumber{9}Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the sone of Nun: 
\verseNumber{10}Of the tribe of Beniamin, Palti the sonne of Raphu: 
\verseNumber{11}Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the sone of Sodi: 
\verseNumber{12}Of the tribe of Ioseph, to wit, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the sonne of Susi: 
\verseNumber{13}Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the sonne of Gemalli: 
\verseNumber{14}Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the sonne of Michael: 
\verseNumber{15}Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the sonne of Vophsi: 
\verseNumber{16}Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the sonne of Machi. 
\verseNumber{17}These are the names of the men, which Moses sent to spie out the lande: and Moses called ye name of Oshea the sonne of Nun, Iehoshua. 
\verseNumber{18}So Moses sent them to spie out the lande of Canaan, and said vnto them, Go vp this way toward the South, and go vp into the moutaines, 
\verseNumber{19}And consider the land what it is, and the people that dwel therein, whether they be strong or weake, either fewe or many, 
\verseNumber{20}Also what the lande is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad: and what cities they be, that they dwell in, whether they dwell in tents, or in walled townes: 
\verseNumber{21}And what the land is: whether it be fat or leane, whether there be trees therein, or not. And be of good courage, and bring of the fruite of the lande (for then was the time of the first ripe grapes) 
\verseNumber{22}So they went vp, and searched out the lande, from the wildernesse of Zin vnto Rehob, to go to Hamath, 
\verseNumber{23}And they ascended toward the South, and came vnto Hebron, where were Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the sonnes of Anak. And Hebron was built seuen yeere before Zoan in Egypt. 
\verseNumber{24}Then they came to the riuer of Eshcol, and cut downe thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it vpon a barre betweene two, and brought of the pomegranates and of the figges. 
\verseNumber{25}That place was called the riuer Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes, which the children of Israel cut downe thence. 
\verseNumber{26}Then after fourtie dayes, they turned againe from searching of the land. 
\verseNumber{27}And they went and came to Moses and to Aaron and vnto al the Congregation of the children of Israel, in the wildernesse of Paran, to Kadesh, and brought to the, and to all the Congregation tydings, and shewed them the fruite of the lande. 
\verseNumber{28}And they tolde him, and saide, We came vnto the land whither thou hast sent vs, and surely it floweth with milke and honie: and here is of the fruite of it. 
\verseNumber{29}Neuerthelesse the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and exceeding great: and moreouer, we sawe the sonnes of Anak there. 
\verseNumber{30}The Amalekites dwell in the South countrey, and the Hittites, and the Iebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountaines, and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Iorden. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and saide, Let vs go vp at once, and possesse it: for vndoubtedly we shall ouercome it. 
\verseNumber{32}But the men, that went vp with him, saide, we be not able to goe vp against the people: for they are stronger then we. 
\verseNumber{33}So they brought vp an euill report of the land which they had searched for the children of Israel, saying, The lande which we haue gone through to search it out, is a land that eateth vp the inhabitants thereof: for all the people that we sawe in it, are men of great stature. 
\verseNumber{34}For there we sawe gyants, the sonnes of Anak, which come of the gyants, so that we seemed in our sight like grashoppers: and so wee were in their sight.

\chapterNumber{14}Then all ye Congregation lifted vp their voice, and cryed: and the people wept that night,

\verseNumber{3}Wherefore nowe hath the Lord brought vs into this lande to fall vpon the sworde? our wiues, and our children shall be a pray: were it not better for vs to returne into Egypt? 
\verseNumber{4}And they said one to another, Let vs make a Captaine and returne into Egypt. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assemblie of the Congregation of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{6}And Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh two of them that searched the lande, rent their clothes, 
\verseNumber{7}And spake vnto all the assemblie of the childre of Israel, saying, The land which we walked through to search it, is a very good lande. 
\verseNumber{8}If the Lord loue vs, he will bring vs into this land, and giue it vs, which is a land that floweth with milke and honie. 
\verseNumber{9}But rebell not ye against the Lord, neither feare ye the people of the land: for they are but bread for vs: their shielde is departed from the, and the Lord is with vs, feare them not. 
\verseNumber{10}And all the multitude saide, Stone them with stones: but the glory of the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before all the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}And the Lord said vnto Moses, How long will this people prouoke me, and howe long will it be, yer they beleeue me, for al the signes which I haue shewed among them? 
\verseNumber{12}I will smite them with the pestilence and destroy them, and will make thee a greater nation and mightier then they. 
\verseNumber{13}But Moses saide vnto the Lord, When the Egyptians shall heare it, (for thou broughtest this people by thy power from among them) 
\verseNumber{14}Then they shall say to the inhabitants of this land, (for they haue heard that thou, Lord, art among this people, and that thou, Lord, art seene face to face, and that thy cloude standeth ouer them, and that thou goest before them by day time in a pillar of a cloude, and in a pillar of fire by night) 
\verseNumber{15}That thou wilt kill this people as one man: so the heathen which haue heard the fame of thee, shall thus say, 
\verseNumber{16}Because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the lande, which he sware vnto them, therefore hath he slaine them in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{17}And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}The Lord is slowe to anger, and of great mercie, and forgiuing iniquitie, and sinne, but not making the wicked innocent, and visiting the wickednes of the fathers vpon the children, in the thirde and fourth generation: 
\verseNumber{19}Be mercifull, I beseech thee, vnto the iniquitie of this people, according to thy great mercie, and as thou hast forgiuen this people from Egypt, euen vntill nowe. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Lord said, I haue forgiuen it, according to thy request. 
\verseNumber{21}Notwithstanding, as I liue, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}For all those men which haue seene my glory, and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and in the wildernes, and haue tempted me this ten times, and haue not obeyed my voyce, 
\verseNumber{23}Certainely they shall not see the lande, whereof I sware vnto their fathers: neither shall any that prouoke me, see it. 
\verseNumber{24}But my seruant Caleb, because he had another spirite, and hath followed me stil, euen him will I bring into the lande, whither he went, and his seede shall inherite it. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe the Amalekites and the Canaanites remaine in the valley: wherefore turne backe to morowe, and get you into the wildernesse, by the way of the red Sea. 
\verseNumber{26}After, the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 
\verseNumber{27}How long shall I suffer this wicked multitude to murmure against me? I haue heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmure against me. 
\verseNumber{28}Tell them, As I liue (saith the Lord) I wil surely do vnto you, euen as ye haue spoken in mine eares. 
\verseNumber{29}Your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, and all you that were counted through all your nombers, from twentie yeere olde and aboue, which haue murmured against me, 
\verseNumber{30}Ye shall not doubtles come into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande, to make you dwell therein, saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun. 
\verseNumber{31}But your children, (which ye said shoulde be a pray) them will I bring in, and they shall knowe the lande which ye haue refused: 
\verseNumber{32}But euen your carkeises shall fall in this wildernes, 
\verseNumber{33}And your children shall wander in the wildernesse, fourtie yeeres, and shall beare your whoredomes, vntill your carkeises be wasted in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{34}After the number of the dayes, in the which ye searched out the lande, euen fourtie dayes, euery day for a yeere, shall ye beare your iniquity, for fourtie yeeres, and ye shall feele my breach of promise. 
\verseNumber{35}I the Lord haue said, Certainely I will doe so to all this wicked company, that are gathered together against me: for in this wildernesse they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 
\verseNumber{36}And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande) 
\verseNumber{37}Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{38}But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue. 
\verseNumber{39}Then Moses tolde these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people sorowed greatly. 
\verseNumber{40}And they rose vp earely in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be readie, to goe vp to the place which the Lord hath promised: for wee haue sinned.

\verseNumber{42}Goe not vp (for the Lord is not among you) lest ye be ouerthrowe before your enemies.

\chapterNumber{15}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, Whe ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I giue vnto you, 
\verseNumber{3}And will make an offring by fire vnto the Lord, a burnt offring or a sacrifice to fulfil a vowe, or a free offring, or in your feastes, to make a sweete sauour vnto the Lord of the hearde, or of the flocke. 
\verseNumber{4}Then let him that offreth his offring vnto the Lord, bring a meate offring of a tenth deale of fine flowre, mingled with the fourth part of an Hin of oyle. 
\verseNumber{5}Also thou shalt prepare ye fourth part of an Hin of wine to be powred on a lambe, appointed for the burnt offring or any offring. 
\verseNumber{6}And for a ram, thou shalt for a meat offring, prepare two tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with the third part of an Hin of oyle. 
\verseNumber{7}And for a drinke-offering, thou shalt offer the third part of an Hin of wine, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}And when thou preparest a bullocke for a burnt offring, or for a sacrifice to fulfill a vowe or a peace offring to the Lord, 
\verseNumber{9}Then let him offer with ye bullocke a meate offring of three tenth deales of fine floure, mingled with halfe an Hin of oyle. 
\verseNumber{10}And thou shalt bring for a drinke offring halfe an Hin of wine, for an offring made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{11}Thus shall it be done for a bullocke, or for a ram, or for a lambe, or for a kid. 
\verseNumber{12}According to the nomber that yee prepare to offer, so shall yee doe to euery one according to their nomber. 
\verseNumber{13}All that are borne of the countrey, shall do these things thus, to offer an offring made by fire of sweete sauour vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{14}And if a stranger soiourne with you, or whosoeuer bee among you in your generations, and will make an offring by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord, as ye do, so hee shall doe. 
\verseNumber{15}One ordinance shalbe both for you of the Congregation, and also for the stranger that dwelleth with you, euen an ordinance for euer in your generations: as you are, so shall the stranger bee before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}One Lawe and one maner shall serue both for you and for the stranger that soiourneth with you. 
\verseNumber{17}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come into the lande, to the which I bring you, 
\verseNumber{19}And when ye shall eate of the bread of the land, ye shall offer an heaue offring vnto ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}Ye shall offer vp a cake of the first of your dowe for an heaue offring: as the heaue offring of the barne, so ye shall lift it vp. 
\verseNumber{21}Of the first of your dowe ye shall giue vnto the Lord an heaue offring in your generations. 
\verseNumber{22}And if ye haue erred, and not obserued all these commandements, which the Lord hath spoken vnto Moses,

\verseNumber{25}And the Priest shall make an atonement for al the Congregation of the children of Israel, and it shalbe forgiuen them: for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offring for an offring made by fire vnto the Lord, and their sinne offering before the Lord for their ignorance. 
\verseNumber{26}Then it shalbe forgiuen all the Congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that dwelleth among them: for all the people were in ignorance. 
\verseNumber{27}But if any one person sinne through ignorance, then he shall bring a shee goate of a yeere olde for a sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{28}And the Priest shall make an atonement for the ignorant person, when hee sinneth by ignorance before the Lord, to make reconciliation for him: and it shalbe forgiuen him. 
\verseNumber{29}He that is borne among the children of Israel, and the stranger that dwelleth among them, shall haue both one lawe, who so doth sinne by ignorance. 
\verseNumber{30}But the person that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be borne in the land, or a stranger, the same blasphemeth the Lord: therefore that person shalbe cut off from among his people, 
\verseNumber{31}Because he hath despised the worde of the Lord, and hath broken his commandement: that person shalbe vtterly cut off: his iniquitie shalbe vpon him. 
\verseNumber{32}And while the children of Israel were in the wildernesse, they found a man that gathered stickes vpon the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{33}And they that found him gathering sticks, brought him vnto Moses and to Aaron, and vnto all the Congregation, 
\verseNumber{34}And they put him warde: for it was not declared what should be done vnto him. 
\verseNumber{35}Then the Lord said vnto Moses, This man shall dye the death: and let al the multitude stone him with stones without the hoste. 
\verseNumber{36}And all the Congregation brought him without the hoste, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 
\verseNumber{37}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

\verseNumber{39}And ye shall haue the fringes, that when ye looke vpon them, ye may remember all the commandemets of the Lord, and do them: and that ye seeke not after your own heart, nor after your owne eyes, after the which ye go a whoring;

\chapterNumber{16}Nowe Korah the sonne of Izhar, the sonne of Kohath, the sonne of Leui went apart with Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab, and On the sonne of Peleth, the sonnes of Reuben: 
\verseNumber{2}And they rose vp against Moses, with certaine of the children of Israel, two hundreth and fiftie captaines of the assemblie, famous in the Congregation, and men of renoume, 
\verseNumber{3}Who gathered themselues together against Moses, and against Aaron, and sayde vnto them, Ye take too much vpon you, seeing all the Congregation is holie, euery one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherfore then lift ye your selues aboue the Congregation of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{4}But when Moses heard it, hee fell vpon his face, 
\verseNumber{5}And spake to Korah and vnto all his companie, saying, To morow the Lord will shew who is his, and who is holy, and who ought to approche neere vnto him: and whom he hath chosen, hee will cause to come neere to him. 
\verseNumber{6}This doe therefore, Take you censers, both Korah, and all his companie, 
\verseNumber{7}And put fire therein, and put incense in the before the Lord to morowe: and the man whome the Lord doeth chuse, the same shalbe holie: ye take too much vpon you, ye sonnes of Leui. 
\verseNumber{8}Againe Moses saide vnto Korah, Heare, I pray you, ye sonnes of Leui. 
\verseNumber{9}Seemeth it a small thing vnto you that the God of Israel hath separated you from the multitude of Israel, to take you neere to himselfe, to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the Congregation and to minister vnto them? 
\verseNumber{10}He hath also taken thee to him, and all thy brethren the sonnes of Leui with thee, and seeke ye the office of the Priest also? 
\verseNumber{11}For which cause, thou, and all thy companie are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmure against him? 
\verseNumber{12}And Moses sent to call Dathan, and Abiram the sonnes of Eliab: who answered, We will not come vp. 
\verseNumber{13}Is it a small thing that thou hast brought vs out of a lande that floweth with milke and honie, to kill vs in the wildernesse, except thou make thy selfe lord and ruler ouer vs also? 
\verseNumber{14}Also thou hast not brought vs vnto a land that floweth with milke and honie, neither giuen vs inheritance of fieldes and vineyardes: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come vp. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Moses waxed verie angry, and saide vnto the Lord, Looke not vnto their offring: I haue not taken so much as an asse from them, neither haue I hurt any of them. 
\verseNumber{16}And Moses said vnto Korah, Bee thou and al thy companie before the Lord: both thou, they, and Aaron to morowe: 
\verseNumber{17}And take euery man his censor, and put incense in them, and bring ye euery man his censor before the Lord, two hundreth and fiftie censors: thou also and Aaron, euery one his censor. 
\verseNumber{18}So they tooke euery man his censor, and put fire in them, and laide incense thereon, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation with Moses and Aaron. 
\verseNumber{19}And Korah gathered all the multitude against them vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation: then the glorie of the Lord appeared vnto all the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Lord spake vnto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 
\verseNumber{21}Separate your selues from among this Cogregation, that I may consume them at once. 
\verseNumber{22}And they fell vpon their faces and saide, O God the God of the spirits, of all fleshe, hath not one man onely sinned, and wilt thou bee wroth with all the Congregation? 
\verseNumber{23}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{24}Speake vnto the Congregation and say, Get you away from about the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Moses rose vp, and went vnto Dathan and Abiram, and the Elders of Israel followed him. 
\verseNumber{26}And he spake vnto the Congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tentes of these wicked men, and touche nothing of theirs, lest ye perish in all their sinnes. 
\verseNumber{27}So they gate them away from the Tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and Abiram on euerie side: and Dathan, and Abiram came out and stood in the doore of their tentes with their wiues, and their sonnes, and their little children. 
\verseNumber{28}And Moses saide, Hereby yee shall knowe that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works: for I haue not done them of mine owne minde. 
\verseNumber{29}If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men, the Lord hath not sent me. 
\verseNumber{30}But if the Lord make a newe thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallowe them vp with all that they haue, and they goe downe quicke into ye pit, then ye shall vnderstand that these men haue prouoked the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}And assoone as he had made an ende of speaking all these wordes, euen the ground claue asunder that was vnder them, 
\verseNumber{32}And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them vp, with their families, and all the men that were with Korah, and all their goods. 
\verseNumber{33}So they and all that they had, went down aliue into the pit, and the earth couered them: so they perished from among the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{34}And all Israel that were about them, fled at the crie of them: for they said, Let vs flee, least the earth swalow vs vp. 
\verseNumber{35}But there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundreth and fiftie men that offred the incense. 
\verseNumber{36}And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 
\verseNumber{37}Speake vnto Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron the Priest, that he take vp the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire beyond the altar: for they are halowed, 
\verseNumber{38}The censers, I say, of these sinners, that destroyed themselues: and let them make of them broade plates for a couering of the Altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they shalbe holy, and they shall be a signe vnto the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{39}Then Eleazar the Priest tooke the brasen censers, which they, that were burnt, had offred, and made broade plates of them for a couering of the Altar. 
\verseNumber{40}It is a remembrance vnto the children of Israel, that no stranger which is not of the seede of Aaron, come neere to offer incense before the Lord, that he be not like Korah and his company, as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses. 
\verseNumber{41}But on the morowe all the multitude of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye haue killed the people of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{42}And when the Congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, then they turned their faces toward the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and beholde, the cloude couered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared.

\verseNumber{49}So they died of this plague fourtene thousande and seuen hundreth, beside them that dyed in the conspiracie of Korah.

\verseNumber{17}I pray thee that we may passe through thy countrey: we will not goe through the fieldes nor the vineyardes, neither will we drinke of the water of the welles: we will goe by the kings way, and neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left, vntill we be past thy borders. 
\verseNumber{18}And Edom answered him, Thou shalt not passe by mee, least I come out against thee with the sword. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the children of Israel said vnto him, We will goe vp by the hie way: and if I and my cattell drinke of thy water, I will then pay for it: I will onely (without any harme) goe through on my feete. 
\verseNumber{20}Hee answered againe, Thou shalt not goe through. The Edom came out against him with much people, and with a mightie power.

\verseNumber{2}So Israel vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt deliuer and giue this people into mine hand, then I wil vtterly destroy their cities. 
\verseNumber{3}And the Lord heard the voyce of Israel, and deliuered them the Canaanites: and they vtterly destroied them and their cities, and called ye name of the place Hormah. 
\verseNumber{4}After, they departed from the mount Hor by the way of the red Sea, to compasse the land of Edom: and the people were sore grieued because of the way. 
\verseNumber{5}And the people spake against God and against Moses, saying, Wherefore haue ye brought vs out of Egypt, to die in the wildernesse? for here is neither bread nor water, and our soule lotheth this light bread. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore the Lord sent fierie serpents among ye people, which stung the people: so that many of the people of Israel died. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore the people came to Moses and said, We haue sinned: for wee haue spoken against the Lord, and against thee: pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from vs: and Moses prayed for the people.

\verseNumber{16}And from thence they turned to Beer: the same is the well where the Lord said vnto Moses, Assemble the people, and I wil giue them water. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Israel sang this song, Rise vp well, sing ye vnto it.

\verseNumber{24}But Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and conquered his land, from Arnon vnto Iabok, euen vnto ye children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong. 
\verseNumber{25}And Israel tooke al these cities, and dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites in Heshbon and in all the villages thereof. 
\verseNumber{26}For Heshbon was the citie of Sihon the king of the Amorites, which had fought beforetime against the king of the Moabites, and had taken al his land out of his hand, euen vnto Arnon. 
\verseNumber{27}Wherefore they that speake in prouerbes, say, Come to Heshbon, let the citie of Sihon bee built and repaired:

\verseNumber{29}Wo be to thee, Moab: O people of Chemosh, thou art vndone: he hath suffered his sonnes to be pursued, and his daughters to be in captiuitie to Sihon the king of the Amorites.

\verseNumber{4}Therfore Moab said vnto the Elders of Midian, Nowe shall this multitude licke vp all that are round about vs, as an oxe licketh vp ye grasse of the fielde: and Balak the sonne of Zippor was King of the Moabites at that time.

\verseNumber{13}And Balaam rose vp in the morning, and sayde vnto ye princes of Balak, Returne vnto your land: for the Lord hath refused to giue me leaue to go with you.

\verseNumber{16}Who came to Balaam, and sayde to him, Thus saith Balak the sonne of Zippor, Bee not thou staied, I pray thee, from comming vnto me. 
\verseNumber{17}For I wil promote thee vnto great honour, and wil do whatsoeuer thou sayest vnto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 
\verseNumber{18}And Balaam answered, and sayde vnto the seruants of Balak, If Balak woulde giue me his house full of siluer and golde, I can not goe beyonde the worde of the Lord my God, to doe lesse or more. 
\verseNumber{19}But nowe, I pray you, tary here this night, that I may wit, what the Lord will say vnto mee more. 
\verseNumber{20}And God came vnto Balaam by night, and sayd vnto him, If the men come to call thee, rise vp, and goe with them: but onely what thing I say vnto thee, that shalt thou doe. 
\verseNumber{21}So Balaam rose vp early, and sadled his asse, and went with the princes of Moab. 
\verseNumber{22}And ye wrath of God was kindled, because he went: and the Angel of the Lord stood in the way to be against him, as he rode vpon his asse, and his two seruants were with him. 
\verseNumber{23}And when the asse saw the Angel of the Lord stand in the way, and his sworde drawen in his hand, the asse turned out of the way and went into the field, but Balaam smote the asse, to turne her into the way. 
\verseNumber{24}Againe the Angel of the Lord stood in a path of the vineyardes, hauing a wall on the one side, and a wall on the other. 
\verseNumber{25}And when the asse sawe the Angel of the Lord, she thrust her selfe vnto the wall, and dasht Balaams foote against the wall: wherefore hee smote her againe.

\verseNumber{29}And Balaam saide vnto the asse, Because thou hast mocked me: I woulde there were a sworde in mine hand, for nowe would I kill thee. 
\verseNumber{30}And the asse saide vnto Balaam, Am not I thine asse, which thou hast ridden vpon since thy first time vnto this day? haue I vsed at any time to doe thus vnto thee? Who said, Nay. 
\verseNumber{31}And the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he sawe the Angel of the Lord standing in the way with his sword drawen in his hande: then he bowed him selfe, and fell flat on his face. 
\verseNumber{32}And the Angel of the Lord said vnto him, Wherefore hast thou nowe smitten thine asse three times? beholde, I came out to withstande thee, because thy way is not straight before me. 
\verseNumber{33}But the asse sawe me, and turned from me now three times: for els, if she had not turned from me, surely I had euen nowe slaine thee, and saued her aliue. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Balaam saide vnto the Angel of the Lord, I haue sinned: for I wist not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore if it displease thee, I will turne home againe. 
\verseNumber{35}But the Angel said vnto Balaam, Go with the men: but what I say vnto thee, that shalt thou speake. So Balaam went with ye princes of Balak.

\verseNumber{3}Whosoeuer voweth a vow vnto the Lord, or sweareth an othe to binde him selfe by a bonde, he shall not breake his promise, but shall do according to al that proceedeth out of his mouth. 
\verseNumber{4}If a woman also vow a vow vnto the Lord, and binde her selfe by a bonde, being in her fathers house, in the time of her youth,

\verseNumber{6}But if her father disallow her the same day that he heareth all her vowes and bondes, wherewith she hath bound her selfe, they shall not bee of value, and the Lord will forgiue her, because her father disallowed her. 
\verseNumber{7}And if she haue an husband when she voweth or pronounceth ought with her lips, wherewith she bindeth her selfe, 
\verseNumber{8}If her husband heard it, and holdeth his peace concerning her, the same day he heareth it, then her vowe shall stande, and her bondes wherewith she bindeth her selfe shall stand in effect.

\verseNumber{10}But euery vowe of a widowe, and of her that is diuorced (wherewith she hath bound her selfe) shall stand in effect with her. 
\verseNumber{11}And if she vowed in her husbands house, or bound her selfe streightly with an othe,

\chapterNumber{32}Nowe the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad had an exceeding great multitude of cattell: and they sawe the lande of Iazer, and the lande of Gilead, that it was an apt place for cattel. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the children of Gad, and the childre of Reuben came, and spake vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the princes of the Congregation, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}The land of Ataroth, and Dibon, and Iazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon, 
\verseNumber{4}Which countrey the Lord smote before the Congregation of Israel, is a lande meete for cattell, and thy seruants haue cattell: 
\verseNumber{5}Wherefore, said they, if we haue foud grace in thy sight, let this lande be giuen vnto thy seruants for a possession, and bring vs not ouer Iorde. 
\verseNumber{6}And Moses said vnto the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren goe to warre, and ye tary heere? 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore now discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel, to goe ouer into the lande, which the Lord hath giuen them? 
\verseNumber{8}Thus did your fathers when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the lande. 
\verseNumber{9}For when they went vp euen vnto the riuer of Eshcol, and sawe the land: they discouraged the heart of the childre of Israel, that they woulde not goe into the lande, which the Lord had giuen them. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lordes wrath was kindled the same day, and he did sweare, saying, 
\verseNumber{11}None of the men that came out of Egypt from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall see the land for the which I sware vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, because they haue not wholly followed me: 
\verseNumber{12}Except Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenesite, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun: for they haue constantly followed the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and made them wander in the wildernesse fourty yeeres, vntill all the generation that had done euill in the sight of the Lord were consumed. 
\verseNumber{14}And behold, ye are risen vp in your fathers steade as an encrease of sinfull men, still to augment the fierce wrath of the Lord, toward Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}For if ye turne away from following him, he will yet againe leaue the people in the wildernesse, and ye shall destroy all this folke. 
\verseNumber{16}And they went neere to him, and said, We will builde sheepe foldes here for our sheepe, and for our cattell, and cities for our children. 
\verseNumber{17}But we our selues will be readie armed to go before the children of Israel, vntill we haue brought them vnto their place: but our childre shall dwell in the defenced cities, because of the inhabitants of the lande. 
\verseNumber{18}We will not returne vnto our houses, vntil the children of Israel haue inherited, euery man his inheritance. 
\verseNumber{19}Neither wil we inherite with them beyond Iorden and on that side, because our inheritance is fallen to vs on this side Iorden Eastwarde. 
\verseNumber{20}And Moses saide vnto them, If ye will doe this thing, and goe armed before the Lord to warre: 
\verseNumber{21}And will goe euery one of you in harnesse ouer Iorden before the Lord, vntill he hath cast out his enemies from his sight: 
\verseNumber{22}And vntill the land be subdued before the Lord, then ye shall returne and be innocent toward the Lord, and toward Israel: and this land shalbe your possession before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{23}But if ye will not doe so, beholde, ye haue sinned against the Lord, and be sure, that your sinne will finde you out. 
\verseNumber{24}Builde you then cities for your children and folds for your sheepe, and do that ye haue spoke. 
\verseNumber{25}Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake vnto Moses, saying, Thy seruats will doe as my lorde commandeth: 
\verseNumber{26}Our childre, our wiues, our sheepe, and al our cattell shall remaine there in the cities of Gilead, 
\verseNumber{27}But thy seruants will goe euery one armed to warre before the Lord for to fight, as my lorde saith. 
\verseNumber{28}So concerning them, Moses commanded Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel: 
\verseNumber{29}And Moses said vnto them, If the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben, will go with you ouer Iorden, all armed to fight before the Lord, then when the land is subdued before you, ye shall giue the the lad of Gilead for a possessio: 
\verseNumber{30}But if they will not goe ouer with you armed, then they shall haue their possessions amog you in the land of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{31}And the children of Gad, and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the Lord hath said vnto thy seruants, so will we doe. 
\verseNumber{32}We will goe armed before the Lord into the lande of Canaan: that the possession of our inheritance may be to vs on this side Iorden. 
\verseNumber{33}So Moses gaue vnto them, euen to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to halfe the tribe of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph, the kingdome of Sihon King of the Amorites, and the kingdome of Og King of Bashan, the lande with the cities thereof and coastes, euen the cities of the countrey round about.

\verseNumber{12}They were wiues to certaine of the families of the sonnes of Manasseh the sonne of Ioseph: so their inheritance remained in the tribe of the familie of their father. 
\verseNumber{13}These are the commandements and lawes which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, vnto the children of Israel in the plaine of Moab, by Iorden toward Iericho.

\chapterNumber{1}These bee the wordes which Moses spake vnto all Israel, on this side Iorden in the wildernesse, in the plaine, ouer against the red Sea, betweene Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab. 
\verseNumber{2}There are eleuen dayes iourney from Horeb vnto Kadesh-barnea, by the way of mout Seir. 
\verseNumber{3}And it came to passe in the first day of the eleuenth moneth, in the fourtieth yeere that Moses spake vnto the children of Israel according vnto all that the Lord had giuen him in commandement vnto them, 
\verseNumber{4}After that he had slaine Sihon the king of the Amorites which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, which dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei. 
\verseNumber{5}On this side Iorden in the lande of Moab began Moses to declare this lawe, saying, 
\verseNumber{6}The Lord our God spake vnto vs in Horeb, saying, Ye haue dwelt long ynough in this mount, 
\verseNumber{7}Turne you and depart, and goe vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, and vnto all places neere thereunto in the plaine, in the mountaine, or in the valley: both Southwarde, and to the Sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and vnto Lebanon: euen vnto the great riuer, the riuer Perath. 
\verseNumber{8}Beholde, I haue set the land before you: go in and possesse that land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob, to giue vnto them and to their seede after them. 
\verseNumber{9}And I spake vnto you the same time, saying, I am not able to beare you my selfe alone: 
\verseNumber{10}The Lord your God hath multiplied you: and beholde, ye are this day as the starres of heauen in nomber: 
\verseNumber{11}(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many moe as ye are, and blesse you, as he hath promised you) 
\verseNumber{12}Howe can I alone beare your combrance and your charge, and your strife? 
\verseNumber{13}Bring you men of wisedome and of vnderstanding, and knowen among your tribes, and I will make them rulers ouer you: 
\verseNumber{14}Then ye answered me and said, The thing is good that thou hast commanded vs to doe. 
\verseNumber{15}So I tooke the chiefe of your tribes wise and knowen men, and made them rulers ouer you, captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, and captaines ouer fiftie, and captaines ouer tenne, and officers among your tribes. 
\verseNumber{16}And I charged your iudges that same time, saying, Heare the controuersies betweene your brethren, and iudge righteously betweene euery man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 
\verseNumber{17}Ye shall haue no respect of person in iudgement, but shall heare the small aswell as the great: yee shall not feare the face of man: for the iudgement is Gods: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring vnto me, and I will heare it. 
\verseNumber{18}Also I commanded you the same time all the things which ye should doe. 
\verseNumber{19}Then we departed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wildernesse (as yee haue seene) by the way of the mountaine of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded vs: and we came to Kadesh-barnea. 
\verseNumber{20}And I saide vnto you, Yee are come vnto the mountaine of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doeth giue vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{21}Beholde, the Lord thy God hath layde the land before thee: go vp and possesse it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath saide vnto thee: feare not, neither be discouraged. 
\verseNumber{22}Then ye came vnto me euery one, and said, We wil send men before vs, to search vs out the land and to bring vs word againe, what way we must go vp by, and vnto what cities we shall come. 
\verseNumber{23}So the saying pleased me well, and I tooke twelue men of you, of euery tribe one. 
\verseNumber{24}Who departed, and went vp into the mountaine, and came vnto the riuer Eshcol, and searched out the land. 
\verseNumber{25}And tooke of the fruite of the land in their hands, and brought it vnto vs, and brought vs worde againe, and sayd, It is a good land, which the Lord our God doeth giue vs. 
\verseNumber{26}Notwithstanding, ye would not go vp, but were disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord your God, 
\verseNumber{27}And murmured in your tentes, and sayd, Because the Lord hated vs, therefore hath hee brought vs out of the land of Egypt, to deliuer vs into the hand of the Amorites, and to destroy vs. 
\verseNumber{28}Whither shall we go vp? our brethren haue discouraged our hearts, saying, The people is greater, and taller then we: the cities are great and walled vp to heauen: and moreouer we haue seene the sonnes of the Anakims there. 
\verseNumber{29}But I sayd vnto you, Dread not, nor be afrayd of them. 
\verseNumber{30}The Lord your God, who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes, 
\verseNumber{31}And in the wildernesse, where thou hast seene how the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doeth beare his sonne, in all the way which ye haue gone, vntill ye came vnto this place. 
\verseNumber{32}Yet for all this ye did not beleeue the Lord your God, 
\verseNumber{33}Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tentes in, in fire by night, that ye might see what way to goe, and in a cloude by day. 
\verseNumber{34}Then the Lord heard the voyce of your wordes, and was wroth, and sware, saying, 
\verseNumber{35}Surely there shall not one of these men of this froward generation, see that good land, which I sware to giue vnto your fathers, 
\verseNumber{36}Saue Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh: he shall see it, and to him will I giue the land that he hath troden vpon, and to his children, because he hath constantly followed the Lord. 
\verseNumber{37}Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not goe in thither, 
\verseNumber{38}But Ioshua the sonne of Nun which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: incourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherite it. 
\verseNumber{39}Moreouer, your children, which ye sayd should be a praye, and your sonnes, which in that day had no knowledge betweene good and euill, they shall go in thither, and vnto them wil I giue it, and they shall possesse it. 
\verseNumber{40}But as for you, turne backe, and take your iourney into the wildernesse by the way of the red Sea. 
\verseNumber{41}Then ye answered and sayd vnto me, We haue sinned against the Lord, we wil go vp, and fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded vs: and ye armed you euery man to the warre, and were ready to goe vp into the mountaine. 
\verseNumber{42}But the Lord said vnto me, Say vnto them, Goe not vp, neither fight, (for I am not among you) least ye fall before your enemies. 
\verseNumber{43}And when I told you, ye would not heare, but rebelled against the commandement of the Lord, and were presumptuous, and went vp into the mountaine. 
\verseNumber{44}Then the Amorites which dwelt in that mountaine came out against you, and chased you (as bees vse to doe) and destroied you in Seir, euen vnto Hormah. 
\verseNumber{45}And when ye came againe, ye wept before the Lord, but the Lord would not heare your voyce, nor incline his eares vnto you. 
\verseNumber{46}So ye abode in Kadesh a long time, according to the time that ye had remained before. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord spake vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward. 
\verseNumber{4}And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore. 
\verseNumber{5}Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession. 
\verseNumber{6}Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke. 
\verseNumber{7}For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked nothing. 
\verseNumber{8}And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession. 
\verseNumber{10}The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims. 
\verseNumber{11}They also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims. 
\verseNumber{12}The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them. 
\verseNumber{13}Now rise vp, sayd I, and get you ouer the riuer Zered: and we went ouer the riuer Zered. 
\verseNumber{14}The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zered, was eight and thirtie yeeres, vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them. 
\verseNumber{15}For in deede the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the hoste, till they were consumed. 
\verseNumber{16}So when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people: 
\verseNumber{17}Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Thou shalt goe through Ar the coast of Moab this day: 
\verseNumber{19}And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession. 
\verseNumber{20}That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzummims: 
\verseNumber{21}A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead: 
\verseNumber{22}As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{23}And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade. 
\verseNumber{24}Rise vp therefore, sayd the Lord: take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Arnon: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell. 
\verseNumber{25}This day wil I begin to send thy feare and thy dread, vpon all people vnder the whole heauen, which shall heare thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee. 
\verseNumber{26}Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, saying, 
\verseNumber{27}Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left. 
\verseNumber{28}Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote, 
\verseNumber{29}(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) vntill I be come ouer Iorden, into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs. 
\verseNumber{30}But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because hee would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{31}And the Lord sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land. 
\verseNumber{32}Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Iahaz. 
\verseNumber{33}But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, and all his people. 
\verseNumber{34}And we tooke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euery citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine. 
\verseNumber{35}Onely the cattell we tooke to our selues, and the spoyle of the cities which we tooke, 
\verseNumber{36}From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs. 
\verseNumber{37}Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lord our God forbade vs. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Then we turned, and went vp by the way of Bashan: and Og King of Bashan came out against vs, he, and all his people to fight at Edrei. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord sayde vnto me, Feare him not, for I will deliuer him, and all his people, and his land into thine hand, and thou shalt doe vnto him as thou diddest vnto Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon. 
\verseNumber{3}So the Lord our God deliuered also vnto our hand, Og the King of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him, vntill none was left him aliue, 
\verseNumber{4}And we tooke all his cities the same time, neither was there a citie which we tooke not from them, euen three score cities, and all ye countrey of Argob, the kingdome of Og in Bashan. 
\verseNumber{5}All these cities were fenced with hie walles, gates and barres, beside vnwalled townes a great many. 
\verseNumber{6}And we ouerthrewe them, as we did vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, destroying euery citie, with men, women, and children. 
\verseNumber{7}But all the cattell and the spoyle of the cities we tooke for our selues. 
\verseNumber{8}Thus we tooke at that time out of the hand of two Kings of the Amorites, the land that was on this side Iorden from the riuer of Arnon vnto mount Hermon: 
\verseNumber{9}(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Shirion, but the Amorites call it Shenir) 
\verseNumber{10}All the cities of the plaine, and all Gilead, and all Bashan vnto Salchah, and Edrei, cities of the kingdome of Og in Bashan. 
\verseNumber{11}For onely Og King of Bashan remained of the remnant of the gyants, whose bed was a bed of yron: is it not at Rabbath among the children of Ammon? the length thereof is nine cubites, and foure cubites the breadth of it, after the cubite of a man. 
\verseNumber{12}And this land which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the riuer of Arnon, and halfe mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gaue I vnto the Reubenites and Gadites. 
\verseNumber{13}And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdome of Og, gaue I vnto the halfe tribe of Manasseh: euen all the countrey of Argob with all Bashan, which is called, The land of gyants. 
\verseNumber{14}Iair the sonne of Manasseh tooke all the countrey of Argob, vnto the coastes of Geshuri, and of Maachathi: and called them after his owne name, Bashan, Hauoth Iair vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{15}And I gaue part of Gilead vnto Machir. 
\verseNumber{16}And vnto the Reubenites and Gadites I gaue the rest of Gilead, and vnto the riuer of Arnon, halfe the riuer and the borders, euen vnto the riuer Iabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon: 
\verseNumber{17}The plaine also and Iorden, and the borders from Chinneereth euen vnto the Sea of the plaine, to wit, the salt Sea vnder the springs of Pisgah Eastwarde. 
\verseNumber{18}And I commanded you the same time, saying, The Lord your God hath giuen you this lande to possesse it: ye shall goe ouer armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all men of warre. 
\verseNumber{19}Your wiues onely, and your children, and your cattel (for I know that ye haue much cattel) shall abide in your cities, which I haue giuen you, 
\verseNumber{20}Vntill the Lord haue giuen rest vnto your brethren as vnto you, and that they also possesse the lande, which the Lord your God hath giuen them beyond Iorden: then shall ye returne euery man vnto his possession, which I haue giuen you. 
\verseNumber{21}And I charged Ioshua the same time, saying, Thine eyes haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto these two Kings: so shall the Lord doe vnto all the kingdomes whither thou goest. 
\verseNumber{22}Ye shall not feare them: for the Lord your God, he shall fight for you. 
\verseNumber{23}And I besought the Lord the same time, saying, 
\verseNumber{24}O Lord God, thou hast begunne to shewe thy seruant thy greatnesse and thy mightie hande: for where is there a God in heauen or in earth, that can do like thy workes, and like thy power? 
\verseNumber{25}I pray thee let me go ouer and see the good land that is beyond Iorden, that goodly mountaine, and Lebanon. 
\verseNumber{26}But the Lord was angrie with me for your sakes, and would not heare me: and the Lord said vnto me, Let it suffice thee, speake no more vnto me of this matter. 
\verseNumber{27}Get thee vp into the top of Pisgah, and lift vp thine eyes Westward, and Northwarde, and Southward, and Eastward, and behold it with thine eyes, for thou shalt not goe ouer this Iorden: 
\verseNumber{28}But charge Ioshua, and incourage him, and bolden him: for hee shall goe before this people, and he shall deuide for inheritance vnto them, the land which thou shalt see. 
\verseNumber{29}So wee abode in the valley ouer against Beth-Peor. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Nowe therefore hearken, O Israel, vnto the ordinances and to the lawes which I teache you to doe, that ye may liue and goe in, and possesse the lande, which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you. 
\verseNumber{2}Ye shall put nothing vnto the word which I command you, neither shall ye take ought there from, that ye may keepe the commandements of the Lord your God which I commande you. 
\verseNumber{3}Your eyes haue seene what the Lord did because of Baal-Peor, for al the men that folowed Baal-Peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed euery one from among you. 
\verseNumber{4}But ye that did cleaue vnto the Lord your God, are aliue euery one of you this day. 
\verseNumber{5}Behold, I haue taught you ordinances, and lawes, as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should doe euen so within the land whither ye goe to possesse it. 
\verseNumber{6}Keepe them therefore, and doe them; for that is your wisdome, and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people, which shall heare all these ordinances, and shall say, Onely this people is wise, and of vnderstanding, and a great nation. 
\verseNumber{7}For what nation is so great, vnto whome the gods come so neere vnto them, as the Lord our God is neere vnto vs, in all that we call vnto him for? 
\verseNumber{8}And what nation is so great, that hath ordinances and lawes so righteous, as all this Lawe, which I set before you this day? 
\verseNumber{9}But take heede to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thinges which thine eyes haue seene, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes: 
\verseNumber{10}Forget not the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said vnto me, Gather me the people together, and I wil cause them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare me all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth, and that they may teache their children: 
\verseNumber{11}Then came you neere and stoode vnder the mountaine, and the mountaine burnt with fire vnto the mids of heauen, and there was darkenesse, cloudes and mist. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Lord spake vnto you out of the middes of the fire, and ye heard the voyce of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a voyce. 
\verseNumber{13}Then hee declared vnto you his couenant which he commanded you to doe, euen the ten commandements, and wrote them vpon two tables of stone. 
\verseNumber{14}And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I should teach you ordinances and lawes, which ye should obserue in the lande, whither ye goe, to possesse it. 
\verseNumber{15}Take therefore good heede vnto your selues: for ye sawe no image in the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middes of the fire: 
\verseNumber{16}That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of any figure: whither it be the likenes of male or female, 
\verseNumber{17}The likenes of any beast that is on earth, or the likenesse of any fethered foule that flieth in the aire: 
\verseNumber{18}Or the likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth, 
\verseNumber{19}And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne and the moone and the starres with all the host of heauen, shouldest bee driuen to worship them and serue them, which the Lord thy God hath distributed to all people vnder the whole heauen. 
\verseNumber{20}But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the yron fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord was angrie with me for your words, and sware that I should not goe ouer Iorden, and that I should not goe in vnto that good land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance. 
\verseNumber{22}For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer, and possesse that good land. 
\verseNumber{23}Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee. 
\verseNumber{24}For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, and a ielous God. 
\verseNumber{25}When thou shalt beget children and childrens children, and shalt haue remained long in the land, if ye corrupt your selues, and make any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, and worke euill in the sight of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger, 
\verseNumber{26}I call heauen and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it: ye shall not prolong your dayes therein, but shall vtterly be destroyed. 
\verseNumber{27}And the Lord shall scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left few in nomber among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you: 
\verseNumber{28}And there ye shall serue gods, euen ye worke of mans hand, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor heare, nor eate, nor smelll. 
\verseNumber{29}But if from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule. 
\verseNumber{30}When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come vpon thee, at the length if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and bee obedient vnto his voyce, 
\verseNumber{31}(For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the couenant of thy fathers, which hee sware vnto them. 
\verseNumber{32}For inquire now of the dayes that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man vpon the earth, and aske from the one ende of heauen vnto the other, if there came to passe such a great thing as this, or whether any such like thing hath bene heard. 
\verseNumber{33}Did euer people heare the voyce of God speaking out of the middes of a fire, as thou hast heard, and liued? 
\verseNumber{34}Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from among nations, by tentations, by signes, and by wonders, and by warre, and by a mightie hand, and by a stretched out arme, and by great feare, according vnto all that the Lord your God did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes? 
\verseNumber{35}Vnto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest knowe, that the Lord hee is God, and that there is none but he alone. 
\verseNumber{36}Out of heauen hee made thee heare his voyce to instruct thee, and vpon earth he shewed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his voyce out of the middes of the fire. 
\verseNumber{37}And because hee loued thy fathers, therefore hee chose their seede after them, and hath brought thee out of Egypt in his sight by his mightie power, 
\verseNumber{38}To thrust out nations greater and mightier then thou, before thee, to bring thee in, and to giue thee their land for inheritance: as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{39}Vnderstande therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earth beneath: there is none other. 
\verseNumber{40}Thou shalt keepe therefore his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee this day, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayst prolong thy dayes vpon the earth, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for euer. 
\verseNumber{41}Then Moses separated three cities on this side of Iorden toward the sunne rising: 
\verseNumber{42}That the slayer should flee thither, which had killed his neighbour at vnwares, and hated him not in time past, might flee, I say, vnto one of those cities, and liue: 
\verseNumber{43}That is, Bezer in the wildernesse, in the plaine countrey of the Reubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites: and Golan in Bashan among them of Manasseh. 
\verseNumber{44}So this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{45}These are the witnesses, and the ordinances, and the lawes which Moses declared to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt, 
\verseNumber{46}On this side Iorden, in the valley ouer against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come out of Egypt: 
\verseNumber{47}And they possessed his land, and the lande of Og King of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Iorden towarde the sunne rising: 
\verseNumber{48}From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer Arnon, euen vnto mount Sion, which is Hermon, 
\verseNumber{49}And all the plaine by Iorden Eastwarde, euen vnto the Sea, of ye plaine, vnder the springs of Pisgah. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Then Moses called all Israiel, and saide vnto them, Heare, O Israel, the ordinances and the lawes which I propose to you this day, that yee may learne them, and take heede to obserue them. 
\verseNumber{2}The Lord our God made a couenant with vs in Horeb. 
\verseNumber{3}The Lord made not this couenant with our fathers onely, but with vs, euen with vs all here aliue this day. 
\verseNumber{4}The Lord talked with you face to face in the Mount, out of the middes of the fire. 
\verseNumber{5}(At that time I stoode betweene the Lord and you, to declare vnto you ye word of the Lord: for ye were afraid at the sight of the fire, and went not vp into the mount, and he said,

\verseNumber{4}And the Lord shall doe vnto them, as he did to Sihon and to Og Kings of the Amorites: and vnto their lande whome he destroyed. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Lord shall giue them before you that ye may do vnto them according vnto euery commandement, which I haue comanded you. 
\verseNumber{6}Plucke vp your hearts therefore, and be strong: dread not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doeth goe with thee: he will not faile thee, nor forsake thee. 
\verseNumber{7}And Moses called Ioshua, and said vnto him in the sight of all Israel, Be of a good courage and strong: for thou shalt go with this people vnto the lande which the Lord hath sworne vnto their fathers, to giue them, and thou shalt giue it them to inherite. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord him selfe doeth go before thee: he will be with thee: he will not faile thee, neither forsake thee: feare not therefore, nor be discomforted. 
\verseNumber{9}And Moses wrote this Lawe, and deliuered it vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Leui (which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) and vnto all the Elders of Israel, 
\verseNumber{10}And Moses commanded them, saying, Euery seuenth yeere when the yeere of freedome shalbe in the feast of the Tabernacles: 
\verseNumber{11}When all Israel shall come to appeare before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall chuse, thou shalt reade this Lawe before all Israel that they may heare it. 
\verseNumber{12}Gather the people together: men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may heare, and that they may learne, and feare the Lord your God, and keepe and obserue all the wordes of this Lawe, 
\verseNumber{13}And that their children which haue not knowen it, may heare it, and learne to feare the Lord your God, as long as ye liue in the lande, whither ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Lord saide vnto Moses, Beholde, thy dayes are come, that thou must die: Call Ioshua, and stande ye in the Tabernacle of the Congregation that I may giue him a charge. So Moses and Ioshua went, and stoode in the Tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle, in the pillar of a cloude: and the pillar of the cloude stoode ouer the doore of the Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Lord said vnto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people will rise vp, and goe a whoring after the gods of a strange land (whither they goe to dwell therein) and will forsake me, and breake my couenant which I haue made with them. 
\verseNumber{17}Wherefore my wrath will waxe hote against them at that day, and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them: then they shalbe consumed, and many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them: so then they will say, Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me? 
\verseNumber{18}But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the euill, which they shall commit, in that they are turned vnto other gods. 
\verseNumber{19}Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my witnesse against the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{20}For I will bring them into the land (which I sware vnto their fathers) that floweth with milke and honie, and they shall eate, and fil them selues, and waxe fat: then shall they turne vnto other gods, and serue them, and contemne me, and breake my couenant. 
\verseNumber{21}And then when many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them, this song shall answere them to their face as a witnesse: for it shall not be forgotte out of the mouthes of their posteritie: for I knowe their imagination, which they goe about euen now, before I haue brought them into the lande which I sware. 
\verseNumber{22}Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{23}And God gaue Ioshua the sonne of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the lande, which I sware vnto them, and I will be with thee. 
\verseNumber{24}And when Moses had made an ende of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a booke vntill he had finished them, 
\verseNumber{25}Then Moses commanded the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, saying, 
\verseNumber{26}Take the booke of this Lawe, and put ye it in the side of the Arke of the couenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witnes against thee. 
\verseNumber{27}For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke: beholde, I being yet aliue with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: howe much more then after my death? 
\verseNumber{28}Gather vnto me all the Elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speake these wordes in their audience, and call heauen and earth to recorde against them. 
\verseNumber{29}For I am sure that after my death ye will vtterly be corrupt and turne from the way, which I haue commanded you: therefore euill will come vpon you at the length, because ye will comit euill in the sight of the Lord, by prouoking him to anger through the worke of your hands. 
\verseNumber{30}Thus Moses spake in the audience of all the congregation of Israel the wordes of this song, vntill he had ended them.

\verseNumber{10}He found him in ye land of ye wildernes, in a waste, and roaring wildernes: he led him about, he taught him, and kept him as ye apple of his eye.

\verseNumber{12}So the Lord alone led him, and there was no strange god with him. 
\verseNumber{13}He caryed him vp to the hie places of the earth, that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, and he caused him to sucke hony out of the stone, and oyle out of the hard rocke: 
\verseNumber{14}Butter of kine, and milke of sheepe with fat of the lambes, and rammes fed in Bashan, and goates, with the fat of the graines of wheat, and the red licour of the grape hast thou drunke. 
\verseNumber{15}But he that should haue bene vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: thou art fat, thou art grosse, thou art laden with fatnes: therefore he forsooke God that made him, and regarded not the strong God of his saluation. 
\verseNumber{16}They prouoked him with strange gods: they prouoked him to anger with abominations. 
\verseNumber{17}They offred vnto deuils, not to God, but to gods whome they knew not: new gods that came newly vp, whome their fathers feared not. 
\verseNumber{18}Thou hast forgotten the mightie God that begate thee, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

\verseNumber{6}Also Ioshua spake vnto the Priestes, saying, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and goe ouer before the people: so they tooke vp the Arke of the couenant, and went before the people. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day will I begin to magnifie thee in the sight of all Israel, which shall knowe, that as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee. 
\verseNumber{8}Thou shalt therefore command the Priests that beare the Arke of the Couenant, saying, When ye are come to the brinke of the waters of Iorden, ye shall stande still in Iorden. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Ioshua said vnto the children of Israel, Come hither, and heare the wordes of the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{10}And Ioshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the liuing God is among you, and that he will certainely cast out before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hiuites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Iebusites. 
\verseNumber{11}Beholde, the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of all the worlde passeth before you into Iorden. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe therefore take from among you twelue men out of the tribes of Israel, out of euery tribe a man. 
\verseNumber{13}And assoone as the soles of the feete of the Priestes (that beare the Arke of the Lord God the Lord of all the worlde) shall stay in the waters of Iorden, the waters of Iorden shall be cut off: for the waters that come from aboue, shall stande still vpon an heape. 
\verseNumber{14}Then when the people were departed from their tentes to goe ouer Iorden, the Priestes bearing the Arke of the Couenant, went before people. 
\verseNumber{15}And as they that bare the Arke came vnto Iorden, and the feete of the Priestes that bare the Arke were dipped in the brinke of the water, (for Iorden vseth to fill all his bankes all the time of haruest) 
\verseNumber{16}Then the waters that came downe from aboue, stayed and rose vpon an heape and departed farre from the citie of Adam, that was beside Zaretan: but the waters that came downe towarde the Sea of the wildernes, euen the salt Sea, failed, and were cut off: so the people went right ouer against Iericho. 
\verseNumber{17}But the Priestes that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, stoode drie within Iorden readie prepared, and all the Israelites went ouer dry, vntill all the people were gone cleane ouer through Iorden. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And when all the people were wholy gone ouer Iorden, (after the Lord had spoken vnto Ioshua, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Take you twelue me out of the people, out of euery tribe a man, 
\verseNumber{3}And command you them, saying, Take you hence out of the middes of Iorden, out of the place where the Priestes stoode in a readinesse, twelue stones, which ye shall take away with you, and leaue them in the lodging where you shall lodge this night) 
\verseNumber{4}Then Ioshua called the twelue men, whome he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of euery tribe a man, 
\verseNumber{5}And Ioshua said vnto them, Go ouer before the Arke of the Lord your God, euen through the middes of Iorden, and take vp euery man of you a stone vpon his shoulder according vnto the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, 
\verseNumber{6}That this may bee a signe among you, that whe your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, saying, What meane you by these stones? 
\verseNumber{7}Then ye may answere them, That the waters of Iorden were cut off before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord: for when it passed through Iorden, the waters of Iorden were cut off: therefore these stones are a memoriall vnto the children of Israel for euer. 
\verseNumber{8}Then ye children of Israel did euen so as Ioshua had commanded, and tooke vp twelue stones out of the mids of Iorden as ye Lord had said vnto Ioshua, according to the nomber of the tribes of the children of Israel, and caried them away with them vnto the lodging, and layd them down there. 
\verseNumber{9}And Ioshua set vp twelue stones in the middes of Iorden, in the place where the feete of the Priests, which bare the Arke of the couenant stood, and there haue they continued vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{10}So the Priests, which bare ye Arke, stoode in the middes of Iorden, vntill euery thing was finished that ye Lord had comanded Ioshua to say vnto the people, according to all that Moses charged Ioshua: then the people hasted and went ouer. 
\verseNumber{11}When all the people were cleane passed ouer, the Arke of the Lord went ouer also, and the Priests before the people. 
\verseNumber{12}And the sonnes of Reuben, and the sonnes of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh went ouer before the children of Israel armed, as Moses had charged them. 
\verseNumber{13}Euen fourty thousand prepared for warre, went before the Lord vnto battel, into ye plaine of Iericho. 
\verseNumber{14}That day the Lord magnified Ioshua in the sight of all Israel, and they feared him, as they feared Moses all dayes of his life. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Lord spake vnto Ioshua, saying, 
\verseNumber{16}Commande the Priests that beare ye Arke of the testimonie, to come vp out of Iorden. 
\verseNumber{17}Ioshua therefore commanded the Priests, saying, Come ye vp out of Iorden. 
\verseNumber{18}And when the Priests that bare the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord were come vp out of the middes of Iorden, and assoone as the soles of the Priests feete were set on the dry land, the waters of Iorde returned vnto their place, and flowed ouer all the bankes thereof, as they did before. 
\verseNumber{19}So the people came vp out of Iorden the tenth day of the first moneth, and pitched in Gilgal, in the Eastside of Iericho. 
\verseNumber{20}Also the twelue stones, which they tooke out of Iorden, did Ioshua pitch in Gilgal. 
\verseNumber{21}And he spake vnto ye childre of Israel, saying, When your children shall aske their fathers in time to come, and say, What meane these stones? 
\verseNumber{22}Then ye shall shew your children, and say, Israel came ouer this Iorden on dry land: 
\verseNumber{23}For the Lord your God dryed vp ye waters of Iorden before you, vntill ye were gone ouer, as the Lord your God did the red Sea, which hee dryed vp before vs, till we were gone ouer, 
\verseNumber{24}That all the people of the worlde may know that the hand of the Lord is mightie, that ye might feare the Lord your God continually. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Nowe when all the Kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Iorden Westward, and all the Kinges of the Canaanites which were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dried vp the waters of Iorden before the children of Israel vntill they were gone ouer, their heart fainted: and there was no courage in them any more because of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}That same time the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Make thee sharpe kniues, and returne, and circumcise the sonnes of Israel the second time. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Ioshua made him sharpe kniues and circumcised the sonnes of Israel in the hill of the foreskinnes. 
\verseNumber{4}And this is the cause why Ioshua circumcised all the people, euen the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of warre were dead in the wildernesse by the way after they came out of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{5}For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were borne in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt, were not circumcised. 
\verseNumber{6}For the children of Israel walked fourtie yeres in the wildernes, till all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voyce of the Lord: vnto whome the Lord sware, that he would not shewe them the lande, which the Lord had sworne vnto their fathers, that he would giue vs, euen a land that floweth with milke and hony. 
\verseNumber{7}So their sonnes whome he raysed vp in their steade, Ioshua circumcised: for they were vncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way. 
\verseNumber{8}And when they had made an ende of circumcising al the people, they abode in the places in the campe till they were whole. 
\verseNumber{9}After, the Lord said vnto Ioshua, This day I haue taken away the shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgal, vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{10}So the children of Israel abode in Gilgal, and kept ye feast of the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen in ye plaine of Iericho. 
\verseNumber{11}And they did eat of the corne of the land, on the morow after the Passeouer, vnleauened breade, and parched corne in the same day. 
\verseNumber{12}And the MAN ceased on the morowe after they had eaten of the corne of the land, neither had the children of Israel MAN any more, but did eate of the fruite of the land of Canaan that yeere. 
\verseNumber{13}And when Ioshua was by Iericho, he lift vp his eyes and looked: and behold, there stood a man against him, hauing a sword drawen in his hand: and Ioshua went vnto him, and said vnto him, Art thou on our side, or on our aduersaries? 
\verseNumber{14}And he said, Nay, but as a captaine of the host of the Lord am I nowe come: then Ioshua fel on his face to the earth, and did worship, and saide vnto him, What sayth my Lord vnto his seruant? 
\verseNumber{15}And the captaine of ye Lords host said vnto Ioshua, Loose thy shoe of thy foote: for ye place wheron thou standest, is holy: and Ioshua did so. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Now Iericho was shut vp, and closed, because of the children of Israel: none might go out nor enter in. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Behold, I haue giuen into thine hand Iericho and the King thereof, and the strong men of warre. 
\verseNumber{3}All ye therefore that be men of warre, shall compasse the citie, in going round about the citie once: thus shall you doe sixe dayes: 
\verseNumber{4}And seuen Priests shall beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke: and the seuenth day ye shall compasse the citie seuen times, and the Priests shall blow with the trumpets. 
\verseNumber{5}And when they make a long blast with the rams horne, and ye heare the sound of the trumpet, al the people shall shoute with a great shoute: then shall the wall of the citie fall downe flat, and the people shall ascend vp, euery man streight before him. 
\verseNumber{6}Then, Ioshua the sonne of Nun called the Priests and said vnto them, Take vp the Arke of the couenant, and let seuen Priests beare seuen trumpets of rams hornes before the Arke of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{7}But he said vnto the people, Goe and compasse the citie: and let him that is armed, go forth before the Arke of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}And when Ioshua had spoken vnto the people, the seuen Priestes bare the seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went foorth before the Arke of the Lord, and blew with the trumpets, and the Arke of the couenant of ye Lord followed them. 
\verseNumber{9}And the men of armes went before the Priestes, that blewe the trumpets: then the gathering hoste came after the Arke, as they went and blewe the trumpets. 
\verseNumber{10}(Nowe Ioshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall nor shout, neither make any noyse with your voyce, neither shall a worde proceede out of your mouth, vntill the day that I say vnto you, Shout, then shall ye shoute) 
\verseNumber{11}So the Arke of the Lord compassed the citie, and went about it once: then they returned into the hoaste, and lodged in the campe. 
\verseNumber{12}And Ioshua rose early in the morning, and the Priestes bare the Arke of the Lord: 
\verseNumber{13}Also seuen Priests bare seuen trumpets of rams hornes, and went before the Arke of the Lord, and going blewe with the trumpets: and the men of armes went before them, but the gathering hoste came after the Arke of the Lord, as they went and blewe the trumpets. 
\verseNumber{14}And the second day they compassed the citie once, and returned into the host: thus they did sixe dayes. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the seuenth day came, they rose early, euen with the dawning of the day, and compassed the citie after ye same maner seuen times: only that day they compassed the citie seuen times. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the Priests had blowen ye trumpets the seuenth time, Ioshua said vnto ye people, Shoute: for the Lord hath giuen you the citie. 
\verseNumber{17}And the citie shalbe an execrable thing, both it, and all that are therein, vnto the Lord: onely Rahab the harlot shall liue, shee, and all that are with her in the house: for shee hid the messengers that we sent. 
\verseNumber{18}Notwithstanding, be ye ware of the execrable thing, lest ye make your selues execrable, and in taking of the execrable thing, make also the hoste of Israel execrable, and trouble it. 
\verseNumber{19}But all siluer, and gold, and vessels of brasse, and yron shalbe consecrate vnto the Lord, and shall come into the Lordes treasury. 
\verseNumber{20}So the people shouted, whe they had blowen trumpets: for when the people had heard the sound of the trumpet, they shouted with a great shoute: and the wall fel downe flat: so the people went vp into the citie, euery man streight before him: and they tooke the citie. 
\verseNumber{21}And they vtterly destroyed all that was in the citie, both man and woman, yong, and olde, and oxe, and sheepe, and asse, with the edge of the sword. 
\verseNumber{22}But Ioshua had said vnto the two men that had spied out the countrey, Go into the harlots house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware to her. 
\verseNumber{23}So the yong men that were spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that shee had: also they brought out all her familie, and put them without the host of Israel. 
\verseNumber{24}After they burnt the citie with fire, and all that was therein: onely the siluer and the gold, and the vessels of brasse and yron, they put vnto the treasure of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{25}So Ioshua saued Rahab the harlot, and her fathers houshold, and all that shee had; and shee dwelt in Israel euen vnto this day, because shee had hid the messengers, which Ioshua sent to spie out Iericho. 
\verseNumber{26}And Ioshua sware at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before ye Lord, that riseth vp, and buildeth this citie Iericho: hee shall lay the foundation thereof in his eldest sonne, and in his yongest sonne shall hee set vp the gates of it. 
\verseNumber{27}So the Lord was with Ioshua, and he was famous through all the world.

\chapterNumber{7}But the children of Israel committed a trespasse in the excommunicate thing: for Achan the sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iuda tooke of the excommunicate thing: wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}And Ioshua sent men from Iericho to Ai, which is beside Bethauen, on ye East side of Bethel, and spake vnto them, saying, Goe vp, and view the countrey. And ye men went vp, and viewed Ai, 
\verseNumber{3}And returned to Ioshua, and saide vnto him, Let not al the people go vp, but let as it were two or three thousand men go vp, and smite Ai, and make not al the people to labour thither, for they are fewe. 
\verseNumber{4}So there went vp thither of the people about three thousande men, and they fledde before the men of Ai. 
\verseNumber{5}And the men of Ai smote of them vpon a thirtie and sixe men: for they chased them from before the gate vnto Shebarim, and smote them in the going downe: wherfore the heartes of the people melted away like water. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Ioshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth vpon his face before the Arke of the Lord, vntill the euentide, he, and the Elders of Israel, and put dust vpon their heads. 
\verseNumber{7}And Ioshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou brought this people ouer Iorden, to deliuer vs into the hande of the Amorites, and to destroye vs? would God we had bene content to dwell on the other side Iorden. 
\verseNumber{8}Oh Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turne their backes before their enemies? 
\verseNumber{9}For the Canaanites, and all the inhabitants of the land shall heare of it, and shall compasse vs, and destroy our name out of the earth: and what wilt thou doe vnto thy mightie Name? 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Get thee vp: wherefore lyest thou thus vpon thy face? 
\verseNumber{11}Israel hath sinned, and they haue transgressed my couenant, which I commanded them: for they haue euen taken of the excommunicate thing, and haue also stollen, and dissembled also, and haue put it euen with their owne stuffe. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore ye children of Israel cannot stand before their enemies, but haue turned their backes before their enemies, because they be execrable: neither will I bee with you any more, except ye destroy the excommunicate from among you. 
\verseNumber{13}Vp therefore, sanctifie the people, and say, Sanctifie your selues against to morowe: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, There is an execrable thing among you, O Israel, therefore ye cannot stand against your enemies, vntill ye haue put the execrable thing from among you. 
\verseNumber{14}In the morning therefore ye shall come according to your tribes, and the tribe which the Lord taketh, shall come according to the families: and the familie which the Lord shall take, shall come by the housholds: and the houshold which the Lord shall take, shall come man by man. 
\verseNumber{15}And he that is taken with the excommunicate thing, shall be burnt with fire, hee, and all that he hath, because he hath transgressed the couenant of the Lord, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 
\verseNumber{16}So Ioshua rose vp earely in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes: and the tribe of Iudah was taken. 
\verseNumber{17}And he brought the families of Iudah, and tooke the familie of the Zarhites, and he brought the familie of the Zarhites, man by man, and Zabdi was taken. 
\verseNumber{18}And he brought his houshold, man by man, and Achan ye sonne of Carmi, the sonne of Zabdi, the sonne of Zerah of the tribe of Iudah was take. 
\verseNumber{19}Then Ioshua said vnto Achan, My sonne, I beseech thee, giue glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession vnto him, and shewe me now what thou hast done: hide it not from me. 
\verseNumber{20}And Achan answered Ioshua, and saide, In deede, I haue sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus haue I done. 
\verseNumber{21}I sawe among the spoyle a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundreth shekels of siluer, and a wedge of golde of fiftie shekels weight, and I coueted them, and tooke them: and behold, they lye hid in the earth in the mids of my tent, and the siluer vnder it. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Ioshua sent messengers, which ran vnto the tent, and beholde, it was hid in his tent, and the siluer vnder it. 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore they tooke them out of the tent, and brought them vnto Ioshua, and vnto all the children of Israel, and layd them before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Ioshua tooke Achan the sonne of Zerah, and the siluer, and the garment and the wedge of golde and his sonnes, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheepe, and his tent, and all that hee had: and all Israel with him brought them vnto the valley of Achor. 
\verseNumber{25}And Ioshua said, In as much as thou hast troubled vs, the Lord shall trouble thee this day: and all Israel threwe stones at him, and burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones. 
\verseNumber{26}And they cast vpon him a great heape of stones vnto this day: and so the Lord turned from his fierce wrath: therefore hee called the name of that place, The valley of Achor, vnto this day.

\chapterNumber{8}After, the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, Feare not, neither bee thou faint hearted: take all the men of warre with thee and arise, go vp to Ai: beholde, I haue giuen into thine hand the King of Ai, and his people, and his citie, and his land. 
\verseNumber{2}And thou shalt doe to Ai and to the King thereof, as thou didst vnto Iericho and to the King thereof: neuerthelesse the spoyle thereof and the cattell thereof shall ye take vnto you for a praye: thou shalt lye in wait against the citie on the backside thereof. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Ioshua arose, and all the men of warre to goe vp against Ai: and Ioshua chose out thirtie thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night. 
\verseNumber{4}And he commanded them, saying, Behold, yee shall lye in waite against the citie on the backeside of the citie: goe not very farre from the citie, but be ye all in a readinesse. 
\verseNumber{5}And I and all the people that are with me, will approche vnto the citie: and when they shall come out against vs, as they did at the first time, then will we flee before them. 
\verseNumber{6}For they wil come out after vs, till we haue brought them out of the citie: for they will say, They flee before vs as at the first time: so we will flee before them. 
\verseNumber{7}Then you shall rise vp from lying in waite and destroy the citie: for the Lord your God wil deliuer it into your hand. 
\verseNumber{8}And when ye haue taken the citie, ye shall set it on fire: according to the commandement of the Lord shall ye do: behold, I haue charged you. 
\verseNumber{9}Ioshua then sent them foorth, and they went to lye in waite, and abode betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of Ai: but Ioshua lodged that night among the people. 
\verseNumber{10}And Ioshua rose vp early in the morning, and nombred the people: and he and the Elders of Israel went vp before the people against Ai. 
\verseNumber{11}Also all the men of warre that were with him went vp and drewe neere, and came against the citie, and pitched on the Northside of Ai: and there was a valley betweene them and Ai. 
\verseNumber{12}And hee tooke about fiue thousande men, and set them to lye in waite betweene Beth-el and Ai, on the Westside of the citie. 
\verseNumber{13}And the people set all the hoste that was on the Northside against the citie, and the liers in waite on the West, against the citie: and Ioshua went the same night into the mids of the valley. 
\verseNumber{14}And when the King of Ai sawe it, then the men of the citie hasted and rose vp earely, and went out against Israel to battell, hee and all his people at the time appointed, before the plaine: for he knew not that any lay in waite against him on the backeside of the citie. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Ioshua and all Israel as beaten before them, fled by the way of the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{16}And all the people of the citie were called together, to pursue after them: and they pursued after Ioshua, and were drawen away out of the city, 
\verseNumber{17}So that there was not a man left in Ai, nor in Beth-el, that went not out after Israel: and they left the citie open, and pursued after Israel. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the Lord said vnto Ioshua, Stretch out the speare that is in thine hande, towarde Ai: for I wil giue it into thine hand: and Ioshua stretched out the speare that hee had in his hand, toward the citie. 
\verseNumber{19}And they that lay in wait, arose quickly out of their place, and ranne as soone as he had stretched out his hand, and they entred into the citie, and tooke it, and hasted, and set the citie on fire. 
\verseNumber{20}And the men of Ai looked behinde them, and sawe it: for loe, the smoke of the citie ascended vp to heauen, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: for the people that fled to the wildernesse, turned backe vpon the pursuers. 
\verseNumber{21}When Ioshua and all Israel sawe that they that lay in waite, had taken the citie, and that the smoke of the citie mounted vp, then they turned againe and slewe the men of Ai. 
\verseNumber{22}Also the other issued out of the citie against them: so were they in the middes of Israel, these being on the one side, and the rest on the other side: and they slewe them, so that they let none of them remaine nor escape. 
\verseNumber{23}And the King of Ai they tooke aliue, and brought him to Ioshua. 
\verseNumber{24}And when Israel had made an ende of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the fielde, that is, in the wildernesse, where they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sworde, vntill they were consumed, all the Israelites returned vnto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sworde. 
\verseNumber{25}And all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelue thousande, euen all the men of Ai. 
\verseNumber{26}For Ioshua drewe not his hande backe againe which he had stretched out with the speare, vntill hee had vtterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 
\verseNumber{27}Onely the cattell and the spoyle of this citie, Israel tooke for a praye vnto themselues, according vnto the worde of the Lord, which hee commanded Ioshua. 
\verseNumber{28}And Ioshua burnt Ai, and made it an heape for euer, and a wildernes vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{29}And the King of Ai hee hanged on a tree, vnto the euening. And as soone as the sunne was down, Ioshua commanded that they should take his carkeis downe from the tree, and cast it at the entring of ye gate of the city, and lay thereon a great heape of stones, that remaineth vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Ioshua built an altar vnto the Lord God of Israel, in mount Ebal, 
\verseNumber{31}As Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, an altar of whole stone, ouer which no man had lift an yron: and they offered thereon burnt offrings vnto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings. 
\verseNumber{32}Also he wrote there vpon the stones, a rehearsall of the Lawe of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{33}And all Israel (and their Elders, and officers and their iudges stoode on this side of the Arke, and on that side, before the Priestes of the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) as well the stranger, as he that is borne in the countrey: halfe of them were ouer against mount Gerizim, and halfe of them ouer against mount Ebal, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should blesse the people of Israel. 
\verseNumber{34}Then afterwarde hee read all the wordes of the Lawe, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the booke of the Lawe.

\chapterNumber{9}And when all the Kings that were beyonde Iorden, in the mountaines and in the valleis, and by all the coastes of the great Sea ouer against Lebanon (as the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites) heard thereof, 
\verseNumber{2}They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord. 
\verseNumber{3}But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.

\verseNumber{11}Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our countrey spake to vs, saying, Take vitailes with you for the iourney, and go to meete them, and say vnto them, Wee are your seruants: now therefore make ye a league with vs. 
\verseNumber{12}This our bread we tooke it hote with vs for vittailes out of our houses, the day we departed to come vnto you: but nowe beholde, it is dried, and it is mouled. 
\verseNumber{13}Also these bottels of wine which we filled, were newe, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shooes are olde, by reason of the exceeding great iourney. 
\verseNumber{14}And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them. 
\verseNumber{16}But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. 
\verseNumber{17}And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim. 
\verseNumber{18}And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes. 
\verseNumber{19}Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them. 
\verseNumber{20}But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them. 
\verseNumber{22}Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs? 
\verseNumber{23}Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God. 
\verseNumber{24}And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing: 
\verseNumber{25}And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{26}Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.

\chapterNumber{10}Now when Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem had heard how Ioshua had taken Ai and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Iericho and to the King thereof, so he had done to Ai and to the King thereof) and howe the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them, 
\verseNumber{2}Then they feared exceedingly: for Gibeon was a great citie, as one of the royall cities: for it was greater then Ai, and all the men thereof were mightie. 
\verseNumber{3}Wherefore Adoni-zedek King of Ierusalem sent vnto Hoham King of Hebron, and vnto Piram King of Iarmuth, and vnto Iapia King of Lachish, and vnto Debir King of Eglon, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Come vp vnto me, and helpe me, that we may smite Gibeon: for they haue made peace with Ioshua and with the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore the fiue Kings of the Amorites, the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, the King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon gathered themselues together, and went vp, they with all their hostes, and besieged Gibeon, and made warre against it. 
\verseNumber{6}And the men of Gibeon sent vnto Ioshua, euen to the hoste to Gilgal, saying, Withdrawe not thine hand from thy seruants: come vp to vs quickly, and saue vs, and helpe vs: for all the Kings of the Amorites which dwell in the mountaines, are gathered together against vs. 
\verseNumber{7}So Ioshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of warre with him, and all the men of might. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Feare them not: for I haue giuen them into thine hand: none of them shall stand against thee. 
\verseNumber{9}Ioshua therefore came vnto them suddenly: for he went vp from Gilgal all the night. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lord discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth vp to Beth-horon, and smote them to Azekah and to Makkedah. 
\verseNumber{11}And as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going downe to Beth-horon, the Lord cast downe great stones from heauen vpon them, vntill Azekah, and they dyed: they were more that dyed with the hailestones, then they whom the children of Israel slewe with the sword. 
\verseNumber{12}Then spake Ioshua to the Lord, in the day when the Lord gaue the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he sayd in the sight of Israel, Sunne, stay thou in Gibeon, and thou moone, in the valley of Aialon. 
\verseNumber{13}And the Sunne abode, and the moone stood still, vntill the people auenged themselues vpon their enemies: (Is not this written in the booke of Iasher?) so the Sunne abode in the middes of the heauen, and hasted not to goe downe for a whole day. 
\verseNumber{14}And there was no day like that before it, nor after it, that the Lord heard the voyce of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}After, Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him vnto the campe to Gilgal: 
\verseNumber{16}But the fiue Kings fled and were hid in a caue at Makkedah. 
\verseNumber{17}And it was tolde Ioshua, saying, The fiue Kings are found hid in a caue at Makkedah. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Ioshua said, Roule great stones vpon the mouth of the caue, and set men by it for to keepe them. 
\verseNumber{19}But stand ye not still: follow after your enemies, and smite all the hindmost, suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath giuen them into your hand. 
\verseNumber{20}And when Ioshua and the children of Israel had made an ende of slaying them with an exceeding great slaughter till they were consumed, and the rest that remained of them were entred into walled cities, 
\verseNumber{21}Then all the people returned to the campe, to Ioshua at Makkedah in peace: no man mooued his tongue against the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{22}After, Ioshua sayd, Open the mouth of the caue, and bring out these fiue Kings vnto me forth of the caue. 
\verseNumber{23}And they did so, and brought out those fiue Kings vnto him forth of the caue, euen the King of Ierusalem, the King of Hebron, ye King of Iarmuth, the King of Lachish, and the King of Eglon. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they had brought out those Kings vnto Ioshua, Ioshua called for all the men of Israel, and sayd vnto the chiefe of the men of warre, which went with him, Come neere, set your feete vpon the necks of these Kings: and they came neere and set their feete vpon their necks. 
\verseNumber{25}And Ioshua sayd vnto them, Feare not, nor be faint hearted, but be strong and of a good courage: for thus will the Lord doe to all your enemies, against whome ye fight. 
\verseNumber{26}So then Ioshua smote them, and slewe them, and hanged them on fiue trees, and they hanged still vpon the trees vntill the euening. 
\verseNumber{27}And at the going downe of the sunne, Ioshua gaue commandement, that they should take them downe off the trees, and cast them into the caue (wherein they had bene hid) and they layde great stones vpon the caues mouth, which remaine vntill this day. 
\verseNumber{28}And that same day Ioshua tooke Makkedah and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof destroyed he with them, and all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: for hee did to the King of Makkedah as he had done vnto the King of Iericho. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Ioshua went from Makkedah, and all Israel with him vnto Libnah, and fought against Libnah. 
\verseNumber{30}And the Lord gaue it also and the King thereof into the hand of Israel: and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein: he let none remaine in it: for he did vnto the King thereof, as he had done vnto the King of Iericho.

\verseNumber{32}And the Lord gaue Lachish into the hand of Israel, which tooke it the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein, according to all as he had done to Libnah. 
\verseNumber{33}Then Horam King of Gezer came vp to helpe Lachish: but Ioshua smote him and his people, vntill none of his remained. 
\verseNumber{34}And from Lachish Ioshua departed vnto Eglon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged it, and assaulted it, 
\verseNumber{35}And they tooke it the same day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the soules that were therein he vtterly destroyed the same day, according to all that he had done to Lachish. 
\verseNumber{36}Then Ioshua went vp from Eglon, and all Israel with him vnto Hebron, and they fought against it. 
\verseNumber{37}And when they had taken it, they smote it with the edge of the sword, and the King thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the soules that were therein: he left none remaining, according to all as he had done to Eglon: for he destroyed it vtterly, and all the soules that were therein. 
\verseNumber{38}So Ioshua returned, and all Israel with him to Debir, and fought against it. 
\verseNumber{39}And when he had taken it, and the King thereof, and all the citie thereof, they smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed all the soules that were therein, he let none remaine: as he did to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the King thereof, as he had also done to Libnah, and to the King thereof. 
\verseNumber{40}So Ioshua smote all the hill countreys, and the South countreys, and the valleys, and the hill sides, and all their Kings, and let none remaine, but vtterly destroyed euery soule, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.

\verseNumber{5}Also the borders of the children of Ephraim according to their families, euen the borders of their inheritance on the Eastside were Atroth-addar, vnto Beth-horon the vpper. 
\verseNumber{6}And this border goeth out to the Sea vnto Michmethah on the Northside, and this border returneth Eastward vnto Taanathshiloh, and passeth it on the Eastside vnto Ianohah,

\chapterNumber{17}This was also the lot of the tribe of Manasseh: for he was the first borne of Ioseph, to wit, of Machir the first borne of Manasseh, and the father of Gilead: nowe because he was a man of warre, he had Gilead and Bashan. 
\verseNumber{2}And also of the rest of the sonnes of Manasseh by their families, euen of the sonnes of Abiezer, and of the sonnes of Helek, and of ye sonnes of Azriel, and of the sonnes of Shechem, and of the sonnes of Hepher, and of the sonnes of Shemida: these were the males of Manasseh, the sonne of Ioseph according to their families. 
\verseNumber{3}But Zelophehad the sonne of Hephir, the sonne of Gilead, the sonne of Machir, ye sonne of Manasseh, had no sonnes, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah:

\verseNumber{5}And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which is on the other side Iorden, 
\verseNumber{6}Because the daughters of Manasseh did inherite among his sonnes: and Manassehs other sonnes had the land of Gilead.

\verseNumber{13}Neuerthelesse, when the children of Israel were strong, they put the Canaanites vnder tribute, but cast them not out wholy. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the children of Ioseph spake vnto Ioshua, saying, Why hast thou giuen me but one lot, and one portion to inherite, seeing I am a great people, for as much as the Lord hath blessed me hitherto? 
\verseNumber{15}Ioshua then answered them, If thou be much people, get thee vp to the wood, and cut trees for thy selfe there in the lande of the Perizzites, and of the gyants, if mount Ephraim be too narowe for thee. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the children of Ioseph saide, The mountaine will not be ynough for vs: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the lowe countrey haue charets of yron, aswell they in Beth-shean, and in the townes of the same, as they in the valley of Izreel. 
\verseNumber{17}And Ioshua spake vnto the house of Ioseph, to Ephraim, and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power, and shalt not haue one lot. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore the mountaine shall be thine: for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it downe: and the endes of it shall be thine, and thou shalt cast out the Canaanites, though they haue yron charets, and though they be strong.

\verseNumber{6}Ye shall describe the land therefore into seuen partes, and shall bring them hither to me, and I will cast lottes for you here before the Lord our God.

\chapterNumber{22}Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, 
\verseNumber{2}And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you: 
\verseNumber{3}You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{4}And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden. 
\verseNumber{5}But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule. 
\verseNumber{6}So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them, 
\verseNumber{8}Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren. 
\verseNumber{9}So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses. 
\verseNumber{10}And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to. 
\verseNumber{11}When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel: 
\verseNumber{12}When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest, 
\verseNumber{14}And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying, 
\verseNumber{16}Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord? 
\verseNumber{17}Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{18}Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel. 
\verseNumber{19}Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God. 
\verseNumber{20}Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse. 
\verseNumber{21}Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel, 
\verseNumber{22}The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day. 
\verseNumber{23}If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it: 
\verseNumber{24}And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel? 
\verseNumber{25}For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice, 
\verseNumber{27}But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{28}Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you. 
\verseNumber{29}God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{30}And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content. 
\verseNumber{31}And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere. 
\verseNumber{33}And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.

\verseNumber{5}I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt: and when I had so done among them, I brought you out. 
\verseNumber{6}So I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and ye came vnto the Sea, and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with charets and horsemen vnto the red sea. 
\verseNumber{7}Then they cryed vnto the Lord, and he put a darkenesse betweene you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea vpon them, and couered them: so your eyes haue seene what I haue done in Egypt also ye dwelt in the wildernesse a long season. 
\verseNumber{8}After, I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt beyond Iorden, and they fought with you: but I gaue them into your hand, and ye possessed their countrey, and I destroyed them out of your sight.

\verseNumber{16}Then the people answered and saide, God forbid, that we shoulde forsake the Lord, to serue other gods.

\verseNumber{19}And Ioshua saide vnto the people, Ye can not serue the Lord: for he is an holie God: he is a ielous God: hee will not pardon your iniquitie nor your sinnes. 
\verseNumber{20}If yee forsake the Lord and serue strange gods, then he will returne and bring euill vpon you, and consume you, after that hee hath done you good.

\verseNumber{16}Notwithstanding, the Lord raysed vp Iudges, which deliuered them out of the hands of their oppressours. 
\verseNumber{17}But yet they would not obey their Iudges: for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, and turned quickly out of the way, wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandements of the Lord: they did not so. 
\verseNumber{18}And when the Lord had raysed them vp Iudges, the Lord was with the Iudge, and deliuered them out of the hande of their enemies all the dayes of the Iudge (for the Lord had compassion on their gronings, because of them that oppressed them and tormented them) 
\verseNumber{19}Yet when the Iudge was dead, they returned, and did worse then their fathers, in following other gods to serue them and worshippe them: they ceased not from their owne inuentions, nor from their rebellious way. 
\verseNumber{20}Wherfore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he sayd, Because this people hath transgressed my couenant, which I commaded their fathers, and hath not obeyed my voyce, 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore will I no more cast out before them any of the nations, which Ioshua left when he dyed, 
\verseNumber{22}That through them I may proue Israel, whether they wil keepe the way of the Lord, to walke therein, as their fathers kept it, or not. 
\verseNumber{23}So the Lord left those nations, and droue them not out immediatly, neither deliuered them into the hand of Ioshua. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}These nowe are the nations which the Lord left, that he might proue Israel by them (euen as many of Israel as had not knowen all the warres of Canaan, 
\verseNumber{2}Only to make the generations of the children of Israel to know, and to teach them warre, which doutles their predecessors knew not) 
\verseNumber{3}Fiue princes of the Philistims, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hiuites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon vntill one come to Hamath. 
\verseNumber{4}And these remayned to proue Israel by them, to wit, whether they would obey the commandements of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses. 
\verseNumber{5}And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, 
\verseNumber{6}And they tooke their daughters to bee their wiues, and gaue their daughters to their sonnes, and serued their gods. 
\verseNumber{7}So the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the Lord, and forgate the Lord their God, and serued Baalim, and Asheroth. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hand of Chushan rishathaim King of Aram-naharaim, and the children of Israel serued Chushan rishathaim eyght yeeres. 
\verseNumber{9}And when the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred vp a sauiour to ye children of Israel, and he saued them, euen Othniel the sonne of Kenaz, Calebs yonger brother. 
\verseNumber{10}And the spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he iudged Israel, and went out to warre: and the Lord deliuered Chushan rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand preuailed against Chushan rishathaim. 
\verseNumber{11}So the lande had rest fourtie yeeres, and Othniel the sonne of Kenaz dyed. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the children of Israel againe committed wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon King of Moab against Israel, because they had committed wickednesse before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}And he gathered vnto him the children of Ammon, and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the citie of palme trees. 
\verseNumber{14}So the children of Israel serued Eglon king of Moab eighteene yeeres. 
\verseNumber{15}But when the children of Israel cried vnto the Lord, the Lord stirred them vp a sauiour, Ehud the sonne of Gera the sonne of Iemini, a man lame of his right hande: and the children of Israel sent a present by him vnto Eglon King of Moab. 
\verseNumber{16}And Ehud made him a dagger with two edges of a cubite length, and he did gird it vnder his rayment vpon his right thigh, 
\verseNumber{17}And he presented ye gift vnto Eglon King of Moab (and Eglon was a very fat man) 
\verseNumber{18}And when he had now presented the present, he sent away the people that bare ye present, 
\verseNumber{19}But he turned againe from the quarris, that were by Gilgal, and said, I haue a secret errand vnto thee, O King. Who said, Keepe silence: and all that stoode about him, went out from him. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Ehud came vnto him. (and he sate alone in a sommer parler, which he had) and Ehud said, I haue a message vnto thee from God. Then he arose out of his throne, 
\verseNumber{21}And Ehud put forth his left hand, and tooke the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his bellie, 
\verseNumber{22}So that the hafte went in after the blade, and the fatte closed about the blade, so that he could not drawe the dagger out of his bellie, but the dirt came out. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Ehud gate him out into the porch, and shut the doores of the parler vpon him, and locked them. 
\verseNumber{24}And when he was gone out, his seruantes came: who seeing that the doores of the parler were locked, they sayd, Surely he doeth his easement in his sommer chamber. 
\verseNumber{25}And they taryed till they were ashamed: and seeing he opened not the doores of the parler, they tooke the key, and opened them, and behold, their lord was fallen dead on the earth. 
\verseNumber{26}So Ehud escaped (while they taried) and was passed the quarris, and escaped vnto Seirah. 
\verseNumber{27}And when he came home, he blew a trumpet in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel went downe with him from the mountaine, and he went before them. 
\verseNumber{28}Then said he vnto them, Follow me: for the Lord hath deliuered your enemies, euen Moab into your hand. So they went downe after him, and tooke the passages of Iorden towarde Moab, and suffred not a man to passe ouer. 
\verseNumber{29}And they slewe of the Moabites the same time about ten thousand men, all fed men, and all were warriours, and there escaped not a man. 
\verseNumber{30}So Moab was subdued that daye, vnder the hand of Israel: and the land had rest fourescore yeeres. 
\verseNumber{31}And after him was Shamgar the sonne of Anath, which slewe of the Philistims sixe hundreth men with an oxe goade, and he also deliuered Israel.

\chapterNumber{4}And the children of Israel began againe to do wickedly in the sight of the Lord when Ehud was dead.

\verseNumber{3}Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord: (for he had nine hundreth charets of yron, and twentie yeeres he had vexed the children of Israel very sore) 
\verseNumber{4}And at that time Deborah a Prophetesse the wife of Lapidoth iudged Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And this Deborah dwelt vnder a palme tree, betweene Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came vp to her for iudgement. 
\verseNumber{6}Then shee sent and called Barak the sonne of Abinoam out of Kadesh of Naphtali, and sayd vnto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Goe, and drawe towarde mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousande men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 
\verseNumber{7}And I wil drawe vnto thee to the riuer Kishon Sisera, the captaine of Iabins armie with his charets, and his multitude, and wil deliuer him into thine hand.

\verseNumber{9}Then shee answered, I will surely goe with thee, but this iourney that thou takest, shall not be for thine honour: for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh. 
\verseNumber{10}And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went vp on his feete with ten thousand men, and Deborah went vp with him. 
\verseNumber{11}(Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in lawe of Moses, was departed from the Kenites, and pitched his tent vntill the playne of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh) 
\verseNumber{12}Then they shewed Sisera, that Barak the sonne of Abinoam was gone vp to mout Tabor. 
\verseNumber{13}And Sisera called for all his charets, euen nine hundreth charets of yron, and all the people that were with him from Harosheth of the Gentiles, vnto the riuer Kishon. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Deborah sayd vnto Barak, Vp: for this is the day that the Lord hath deliuered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went downe from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Lord destroyed Sisera and all his charets, and al his hoste with the edge of the sword before Barak, so that Sisera lighted downe off his charet, and fled away on his feete. 
\verseNumber{16}But Barak pursued after the charets, and after the hoste vnto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the hoste of Sisera fel vpon the edge of the sworde: there was not a man left. 
\verseNumber{17}Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feete to the tent of Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite: (for peace was betweene Iabin the king of Hazor, and betweene the house of Heber the Kenite) 
\verseNumber{18}And Iael went out to meete Sisera, and sayd vnto him, Turne in, my lord, turne in to me: feare not. And when he had turned in vnto her into her tent, she couered him with a mantell. 
\verseNumber{19}And he said vnto her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water to drinke: for I am thirstie. And shee opened a bottel of milke, and gaue him drinke, and couered him. 
\verseNumber{20}Againe he sayde vnto her, Stande in the doore of the tent, and when any man doth come and enquire of thee, saying, Is any man there? thou shalt say, Nay. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Iael Hebers wife tooke a nayle of the tent, and tooke an hammer in her hande, and went softly vnto him, and smote the nayle into his temples, and fastened it into the grounde, (for he was fast a sleepe and weary) and so he dyed. 
\verseNumber{22}And behold, as Barak pursued after Sisera, Iael came out to meete him, and sayd vnto him, Come, and I wil shewe thee the man, whome thou seekest: and when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nayle in his temples. 
\verseNumber{23}So God brought downe Iabin the King of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.

\chapterNumber{8}Then the men of Ephraim sayde vnto him, Why hast thou serued vs thus that thou calledst vs not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? and they chode with him sharply. 
\verseNumber{2}To whom he said, What haue I now done in comparison of you? is not the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim better, then the vintage of Abiezer? 
\verseNumber{3}God hath deliuered into your handes the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? and when he had thus spoken, then their spirits abated toward him. 
\verseNumber{4}And Gideon came to Iorden to passe ouer, hee, and the three hundreth men that were with him, weary, yet pursuing them. 
\verseNumber{5}And he said vnto the men of Succoth, Giue, I pray you, morsels of bread vnto the people that follow me (for they be wearie) that I may follow after Zebah, and Zalmunna Kings of Midian. 
\verseNumber{6}And the princes of Succoth sayde, Are the handes of Zebah and Zalmunna nowe in thine hads, that we should giue bread vnto thine army? 
\verseNumber{7}Gideon then sayde, Therefore when the Lord hath deliuered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, I will teare your flesh with thornes of the wildernes and with breers. 
\verseNumber{8}And he went vp thence to Penuel, and spake vnto them likewise, and the men of Penuel answered him, as the men of Succoth answered. 
\verseNumber{9}And he sayd also vnto the men of Penuel, When I come againe in peace, I will breake downe this towre. 
\verseNumber{10}Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hostes with them, about fifteene thousande, all that were left of all the hostes of them of the East: for there was slaine an hundreth and twentie thousand men, that drew swordes. 
\verseNumber{11}And Gideon went through them that dwelt in Tabernacles on the East side of Nobah and Iogbehah, and smote the hoste: for the hoste was carelesse. 
\verseNumber{12}And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, hee followed after them, and tooke the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the hoste. 
\verseNumber{13}So Gideon the sonne of Ioash returned from battel, the sunne being yet hie, 
\verseNumber{14}And tooke a seruant of the me of Succoth, and inquired of him: and he wrote to him the princes of Succoth and the Elders thereof, euen seuentie and seuen men. 
\verseNumber{15}And he came vnto the men of Succoth, and sayd, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, by whome ye vpbrayded me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hands, that we should giue bread vnto thy weary men? 
\verseNumber{16}Then he tooke the Elders of the citie, and thornes of the wildernes and breers, and did teare the men of Succoth with them. 
\verseNumber{17}Also he brake downe the towre of Penuel, and slew the men of the citie. 
\verseNumber{18}Then saide he vnto Zebah and Zalmunna, What maner of men were they, whom ye slew at Tabor? and they answered, As thou art, so were they: euery one was like the children of a King. 
\verseNumber{19}And he said, They were my brethren, euen my mothers children: as the Lord liueth, if ye had saued their liues, I would not slay you. 
\verseNumber{20}Then he sayde vnto Iether his first borne sonne, Vp, and slay them: but the boy drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet yong. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Zebah and Zalmunna sayd, Rise thou, and fall vpon vs: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and tooke away the ornamentes, that were on their camels neckes. 
\verseNumber{22}Then the men of Israel sayd vnto Gideon, Reigne thou ouer vs, both thou, and thy sonne, and thy sonnes sonne: for thou hast deliuered vs out of the hand of Midian. 
\verseNumber{23}And Gideon sayde vnto them, I will not reigne ouer you, neither shall my childe reigne ouer you, but the Lord shall reigne ouer you. 
\verseNumber{24}Againe Gideon sayd vnto them, I would desire a request of you, that you would giue mee euery man the earings of his pray (for they had golden earings because they were Ismaelites) 
\verseNumber{25}And they answered, Wee will giue them. And they spred a garment, and did cast therein euery man the earings of his pray. 
\verseNumber{26}And the weight of the golden earings that he required, was a thousande and seuen hundreth shekels of golde, beside collers and iewels, and purple rayment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the cheynes that were about their camels neckes. 
\verseNumber{27}And Gideon made an Ephod thereof, and put it in Ophrah his citie: and all Israel went a whoring there after it, which was the destruction of Gideon and his house. 
\verseNumber{28}Thus was Midian brought lowe before the children of Israel, so that they lift vp their heads no more: and the countrey was in quietnes fourtie yeeres in the dayes of Gideon.

\verseNumber{31}And his concubine that was in Shechem, bare him a sonne also, whose name he called Abimelech.

\verseNumber{33}But when Gideon was dead, the children of Israel turned away and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baal-berith their God. 
\verseNumber{34}And the children of Israel remembred not the Lord their God, which had deliuered the out of the hands of all their enemies on euery side.

\verseNumber{16}Now therefore, if ye doe truely and vncorruptly to make Abimelech King, and if ye haue delt well with Ierubbaal and with his house, and haue done vnto him according to the deseruing of his handes,

\verseNumber{21}And Iotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there for feare of Abimelech his brother. 
\verseNumber{22}So Abimelech reigned three yeere ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{23}But God sent an euil spirit betweene Abimelech, and the men of Shechem: and the men of Shechem brake their promise to Abimelech, 
\verseNumber{24}That the crueltie toward the seuentie sonnes of Ierubbaal and their blood might come and be laide vpon Abimelech their brother, which had slayne them, and vpon the men of Shechem, which had ayded him to kill his brethren.

\verseNumber{26}Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed came with his brethren, and they went to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him. 
\verseNumber{27}Therefore they went out into the field, and gathered in their grapes and troade them, and made merie, and went into the house of their gods, and did eate and drinke, and cursed Abimelech. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed sayde, Who is Abimelech? and who is Shechem, that wee should serue him? Is he not the sonne of Ierubbaal? and Zebul is his officer? Serue rather the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serue him? 
\verseNumber{29}Now would God this people were vnder mine hand: then would I put away Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out. 
\verseNumber{30}And when Zebul the ruler of the citie heard the wordes of Gaal the sonne of Ebed, his wrath was kindled. 
\verseNumber{31}Therefore he sent messengers vnto Abimelech priuily, saying, Beholde, Gaal the sonne of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem, and beholde, they fortifie the citie against thee. 
\verseNumber{32}Now therefore arise by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lye in wayte in the fielde. 
\verseNumber{33}And rise early in the morning as soone as the sunne is vp, and assault the citie: and when he and the people that is with him, shall come out against thee, doe to him what thou canst. 
\verseNumber{34}So Abimelech rose vp, and all the people that were with him by night: and they lay in wayte against Shechem in foure bandes. 
\verseNumber{35}Then Gaal the sonne of Ebed went out and stood in the entring of the gate of the citie: and Abimelech rose vp, and the folke that were with him, from lying in waite. 
\verseNumber{36}And when Gaal sawe the people, he said to Zebul, Beholde, there come people downe from the tops of the mountaines: and Zebul said vnto him, The shadowe of the mountaines seeme men vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{37}And Gaal spake againe, and said, See, there come folke downe by the middle of the land, and another bande commeth by the way of the plaine of Meonenim. 
\verseNumber{38}Then sayd Zebul vnto him, Where is now thy mouth, that said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serue him? Is not this the people that thou hast despised? Go out now, I pray thee, and fight with them. 
\verseNumber{39}And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.

\verseNumber{43}And he tooke the people, and deuided them into three bandes, and layde wayte in the fieldes, and looked, and beholde, the people were come out of the citie, and he rose vp against them, and smote them. 
\verseNumber{44}And Abimelech, and the bandes that were with him, russhed forwarde, and stoode in the entring of the gate of the citie: and the two other bandes ran vpon all the people that were in the fielde and slewe them. 
\verseNumber{45}And when Abimelech had fought against the citie all that day, he tooke the citie, and slewe the people that was therein, and destroyed the citie and sowed salt in it. 
\verseNumber{46}And when all the men of the towre of Shechem heard it, they entred into an holde of the house of the god Berith. 
\verseNumber{47}And it was tolde Abimelech, that all the men of the towre of Shechem were gathered together. 
\verseNumber{48}And Abimelech gate him vp to mounte Zalmon, hee and all the people that were with him: and Abimelech tooke axes with him, and cut downe boughes of trees, and tooke them, and bare them on his shoulder, and sayde vnto the folke that were with him, What ye haue seene me doe, make haste, and doe like me. 
\verseNumber{49}Then all the people also cut downe euery man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the holde, and set the holde on fire with them: so all the men of the towre of Shechem dyed also, about a thousand men and women. 
\verseNumber{50}Then went Abimelech to Tebez, and besieged Tebez, and tooke it. 
\verseNumber{51}But there was a strong towre within the citie, and thither fledde all the men and women, and all the chiefe of the citie, and shut it to them, and went vp to the toppe of the towre. 
\verseNumber{52}And Abimelech came vnto the towre and fought against it, and went hard vnto the doore of the towre to set it on fire. 
\verseNumber{53}But a certaine woman cast a piece of a milstone vpon Abimelechs head, and brake his braine pan. 
\verseNumber{54}Then Abimelech called hastily his page that bare his harneis, and sayde vnto him, Drawe thy sworde and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slewe him. And his page thrust him thorowe, and he dyed. 
\verseNumber{55}And when the men of Israel sawe that Abimelech was dead, they departed euery man vnto his owne place. 
\verseNumber{56}Thus God rendred the wickednes of Abimelech, which he did vnto his father, in slaying his seuentie brethren.

\verseNumber{3}And the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto the woman, and said vnto her, Beholde nowe, thou art baren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne. 
\verseNumber{4}And nowe therefore beware that thou drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing. 
\verseNumber{5}For loe, thou shalt conceiue and beare a sonne, and no rasor shall come on his head: for the childe shall be a Nazarite vnto God from his birth: and he shall begin to saue Israel out of the handes of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the wife came, and tolde her husband, saying, A man of God came vnto me, and the facion of him was like the facion of the Angel of God exceeding feareful, but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name, 
\verseNumber{7}But he saide vnto me, Beholde, thou shalt conceiue, and beare a sonne, and nowe thou shalt drinke no wine, nor strong drinke, neither eate any vncleane thing: for the childe shalbe a Nazarite to God from his birth to the day of his death. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Manoah prayed to the Lord and saide, I pray thee, my Lord, Let the man of God, whome thou sentest, come againe nowe vnto vs, and teach vs what we shall doe vnto the child when he is borne. 
\verseNumber{9}And God heard the voyce of Manoah, and the Angel of God came againe vnto the wife, as she sate in the fielde, but Manoah her husband was not with her. 
\verseNumber{10}And the wife made haste and ranne, and shewed her husband and sayde vnto him, Behold, the man hath appeared vnto me, that came vnto me to day. 
\verseNumber{11}And Manoah arose and went after his wife, and came to the man, and saide vnto him, Art thou the man that spakest vnto the woman? and he said, Yea. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Manoah sayde, Nowe let thy saying come to passe: but howe shall we order the childe and doe vnto him? 
\verseNumber{13}And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto Manoah, The woman must beware of all that I said vnto her. 
\verseNumber{14}She may eate of nothing that commeth of the vinetree: she shall not drinke wine nor strong drinke, nor eate any vncleane thing: let her obserue all that I haue commanded her. 
\verseNumber{15}Manoah then said vnto the Angell of the Lord, I pray thee, let vs reteine thee, vntill we haue made readie a kid for thee. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Manoah, Though thou make me abide, I will not eate of thy bread, and if thou wilt make a burnt offring, offer it vnto the Lord: for Manoah knewe not that it was an Angel of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}Againe Manoah said vnto the Angell of the Lord, What is thy name, that when thy saying is come to passe, we may honour thee? 
\verseNumber{18}And the Angell of the Lord saide vnto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, which is secret? 
\verseNumber{19}Then Manoah tooke a kid with a meate offering, and offered it vpon a stone vnto the Lord: and the Angell did wonderously, whiles Manoah and his wife looked on. 
\verseNumber{20}For when the flame came vp toward heauen from the altar, the Angel of the Lord ascended vp in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife behelde it, and fell on their faces vnto the grounde. 
\verseNumber{21}(So the Angel of the Lord did no more appeare vnto Manoah and his wife.) Then Manoah knewe that it was an Angel of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}And Manoah said vnto his wife, We shall surely dye, because we haue seene God. 
\verseNumber{23}But his wife saide vnto him, If the Lord woulde kill vs, he woulde not haue receiued a burnt offring, and a meate offring of our hands, neither would he haue shewed vs all these things, nor would now haue tolde vs any such. 
\verseNumber{24}And the wife bare a sonne, and called his name Samson: and the childe grewe, and the Lord blessed him. 
\verseNumber{25}And the Spirite of the Lord beganne to strengthen him in the host of Dan, betweene Zorah, and Eshtaol.

\chapterNumber{14}Nowe Samson went downe to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims, 
\verseNumber{2}And he came vp and told his father and his mother and saide, I haue seene a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistims: now therfore giue me her to wife. 
\verseNumber{3}Then his father and his mother sayde vnto him, Is there neuer a wife among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, that thou must go to take a wife of the vncircumcised Philistims? And Samson sayd vnto his father, Giue mee her, for she pleaseth me well. 
\verseNumber{4}But his father and his mother knewe not that it came of the Lord, that he should seeke an occasion against the Philistims: for at that time the Philistims reigned ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}Then went Samson and his father and his mother downe to Timnath, and came to ye vineyardes at Timnath: and beholde, a young Lyon roared vpon him. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon him, and he tare him, as one should haue rent a kid, and had nothing in his hand, neither told he his father nor his mother what he had done. 
\verseNumber{7}And he went down, and talked with the woman which was beautifull in the eyes of Samson. 
\verseNumber{8}And within a fewe dayes, when he returned to receiue her, he went aside to see the karkeis of the Lion: and behold, there was a swarme of bees, and hony in the body of the Lyon. 
\verseNumber{9}And he tooke therof in his handes, and went eating, and came to his father and to his mother, and gaue vnto them, and they did eate: but hee told not them, that he had taken the hony out of the body of the lyon. 
\verseNumber{10}So his father went down vnto the woman, and Samson made there a feast: for so vsed the yong men to doe. 
\verseNumber{11}And when they sawe him, they brought thirtie companions to be with him. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Samson sayd vnto them, I will nowe put forth a riddle vnto you: and if you can declare it me within seuen dayes of the feast, and finde it out, I will giue you thirty sheetes, and thirtie change of garments. 
\verseNumber{13}But if you cannot declare it mee, then shall yee giue mee thirty sheetes and thirtie change of garments. And they answered him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may heare it. 
\verseNumber{14}And he sayd vnto them, Out of the eater came meate, and out of the strong came sweetenesse: and they could not in three dayes expound the riddle. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the seuenth day was come, they said vnto Samsons wife, Entise thine husband, that he may declare vs the riddle, lest wee burne thee and thy fathers house with fire. Haue ye called vs, to possesse vs? is it not so? 
\verseNumber{16}And Samsons wife wept before him, and said, Surely thou hatest mee and louest mee not: for thou hast put forth a riddle vnto the children of my people, and hast not told it mee. And hee sayd vnto her, Beholde, I haue not told it my father, nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee? 
\verseNumber{17}Then Samsons wife wept before him seuen dayes, while their feast lasted: and when the seuenth day came he tolde her, because she was importunate vpon him: so she told the riddle to the children of her people. 
\verseNumber{18}And the men of ye citie sayde vnto him the seuenth day before the Sunne went downe, What is sweeter then honie? and what is stronger then a lyon? Then sayd hee vnto them, If yee had not plowed with my heiffer, yee had not found out my riddle. 
\verseNumber{19}And the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and he went downe to Ashkelon, and slew thirtie men of them and spoyled them, and gaue chaunge of garments vnto them, which expounded the riddle: and his wrath was kindled, and he went vp to his fathers house. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Samsons wife was giuen to his companion, whom he had vsed as his friend.

\chapterNumber{15}But within a while after, in the time of wheate haruest, Samson visited his wife with a kid, saying, I wil go in to my wife into the chamber: but her father would not suffer him to goe in. 
\verseNumber{2}And her father sayde, I thought that thou hadst hated her: therefore gaue I her to thy companion. Is not her yonger sister fayrer then shee? take her, I pray thee, in stead of the other. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Samson saide vnto them, Nowe am I more blamelesse then the Philistims: therefore will I doe them displeasure. 
\verseNumber{4}And Samson went out, and tooke three hundreth foxes, and tooke firebrands, and turned them taile to taile, and put a firebrand in ye middes betweene two tailes. 
\verseNumber{5}And when he had set the brandes on fire, he sent them out into the standing corne of the Philistims, and burnt vp both the rickes and the standing corne with the vineyardes and oliues. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the Philistims sayde, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson the sonne in law of the Timnite, because hee had taken his wife, and giuen her to his companion. Then the Philistims came vp and burnt her and her father with fire. 
\verseNumber{7}And Samson saide vnto them, Though yee haue done this, yet wil I be auenged of you, and then I wil cease. 
\verseNumber{8}So hee smote them hippe and thigh with a mightie plague: then hee went and dwelt in the top of the rocke Etam. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the Philistims came vp, and pitched in Iudah, and were spred abroad in Lehi. 
\verseNumber{10}And the men of Iudah sayde, Why are yee come vp vnto vs? And they answered, To binde Samson are we come vp, and to do to him as hee hath done to vs. 
\verseNumber{11}Then three thousande men of Iudah went to the top of the rocke Etam, and sayde to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistims are rulers ouer vs? Wherefore then hast thou done thus vnto vs? And he answered them, As they did vnto me, so haue I done vnto them. 
\verseNumber{12}Againe they sayd vnto him, Wee are come to binde thee, and to deliuer thee into the hande of the Philistims. And Samson sayde vnto them, Sweare vnto me, that yee will not fall vpon me your selues. 
\verseNumber{13}And they answered him, saying, No, but we will bynde thee and deliuer thee vnto their hande, but we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two newe cordes, and brought him from the rocke. 
\verseNumber{14}When hee came to Lehi, the Philistims shouted against him, and the Spirite of the Lord came vpon him, and the cordes that were vpon his armes, became as flaxe that was burnt with fire: for the bandes loosed from his handes. 
\verseNumber{15}And he found a new iawebone of an asse, and put forth his hand, and caught it, and slewe a thousand men therewith. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Samson sayd, With the iaw of an asse are heapes vpon heapes: with the iawe of an asse haue I slaine a thousand men. 
\verseNumber{17}And when he had left speaking, hee cast away the iawebone out of his hande, and called that place, Ramath-Lehi. 
\verseNumber{18}And he was sore a thirst, and called on the Lord, and sayde, Thou hast giuen this great deliuerance into the hand of thy seruaunt: and nowe shall I dye for thirst, and fall into the handes of the vncircumcised? 
\verseNumber{19}Then God brake the cheeke tooth, that was in the iawe, and water came thereout: and when he had drunke, his Spirit came againe, and he was reuiued: wherefore the name therof is called, Enhakkore, which is in Lehi vnto this day.

\chapterNumber{16}Then went Samson to Azzah, and sawe there an harlot, and went in vnto her. 
\verseNumber{2}And it was tolde to the Azzahites, Samson is come hither. And they went about, and laied wayte for him all night in the gate of the citie, and were quiet all the nyght, saying, Abide till the morning earely, and we shall kill him. 
\verseNumber{3}And Samson slept till midnight, and arose at midnight, and tooke the doores of the gates of the citie, and the two postes and lift them away with the barres, and put them vpon his shoulders, and caried them vp to the top of the mountaine that is before Hebron. 
\verseNumber{4}And after this hee loued a woman by the riuer of Sorek, whose name was Delilah: 
\verseNumber{5}Vnto whome came the princes of the Philistims, and said vnto her, Entise him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what meane we may ouercome him, that we may binde him, and punish him, and euery one of vs shall giue thee eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer. 
\verseNumber{6}And Delilah saide to Samson, Tell mee, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest bee bound, to doe thee hurt. 
\verseNumber{7}Samson then answered vnto her, If they binde mee with seuen greene cordes, that were neuer dryed, then shall I bee weake, and be as an other man. 
\verseNumber{8}And the princes of the Philistims brought her seuen greene cordes that were not dry, and she bound him therewith. 
\verseNumber{9}(And she had men lying in wayte with her in the chamber) Then she said vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee brake the cordes, as a threede of towe is broken, when it feeleth fire: so his strength was not knowen. 
\verseNumber{10}After Delilah saide vnto Samson, See, thou hast mocked mee and tolde mee lies. I pray thee nowe, tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. 
\verseNumber{11}Then he answered her, If they binde mee with newe ropes that neuer were occupied, then shall I be weake, and be as an other man. 
\verseNumber{12}Delilah therefore tooke newe ropes, and bounde him therewith, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson: (and men lay in wayte in the chamber) and hee brake them from his armes, as a threede. 
\verseNumber{13}Afterward Delilah said to Samson, Hitherto thou hast beguiled mee, and tolde me lies: tell me how thou mightest be bounde. And he sayde vnto her, If thou plattedst seuen lockes of mine head with the threedes of the woufe. 
\verseNumber{14}And she fastened it with a pinne, and saide vnto him, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleepe, and went away with the pinne of the webbe and the woufe. 
\verseNumber{15}Againe shee sayde vnto him, Howe canst thou say, I loue thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked mee these three times, and hast not tolde me wherein thy great strength lieth. 
\verseNumber{16}And because shee was importunate vpon him with her wordes continually, and vexed him, his soule was pained vnto the death. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore he tolde her all his heart, and said vnto her, There neuer came rasor vpon mine head: for I am a Nazarite vnto God from my mothers wombe: therefore if I bee shauen, my strength will goe from me, and I shalbe weake, and be like all other men. 
\verseNumber{18}And when Delilah sawe that he had tolde her all his heart, she sent, and called for the Princes of ye Philistims, saying, Come vp once againe: for he hath shewed mee all his heart. Then the Princes of the Philistims came vp vnto her, and brought the money in their handes. 
\verseNumber{19}And she made him sleepe vpon her knees, and she called a man, and made him to shaue off the seuen lockes of his head, and shee began to vexe him, and his strength was gone from him. 
\verseNumber{20}Then she said, The Philistims be vpon thee, Samson. And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and thought, I will go out now as at other times, and shake my selfe, but he knewe not that the Lord was departed from him. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore the Philistims tooke him, and put out his eyes, and brought him downe to Azzah, and bounde him with fetters: and hee did grinde in the prison house. 
\verseNumber{22}And the heare of his head began to growe againe after that it was shauen. 
\verseNumber{23}Then the Princes of the Philistims gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice vnto Dagon their god, and to reioyce: for they said, Our god hath deliuered Samson our enemie into our handes. 
\verseNumber{24}Also when the people saw him, they praysed their god: for they sayde, Our god hath deliuered into our hands our enemie and destroyer of our countrey, which hath slayne many of vs. 
\verseNumber{25}And when their heartes were merie, they said, Call Samson, that he may make vs pastime. So they called Samson out of the prison house, and he was a laughing stocke vnto them, and they set him betweene the pillars. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Samson saide vnto the seruant that led him by the hande, Lead me, that I may touch the pillars that the house standeth vpon, and that I may leane to them. 
\verseNumber{27}(Nowe the house was full of men and women, and there were all the princes of the Philistims: also vpon the roofe were about three thousande men and women that behelde while Samson played) 
\verseNumber{28}Then Samson called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord God, I pray thee, thinke vpon me: O God, I beseech thee, strengthen me at this time onely, that I may be at once auenged of the Philistims for my two eyes. 
\verseNumber{29}And Samson layd hold on the two middle pillars whereupon the house stood, and on which it was borne vp: on the one with his right hand, and on the other with his left. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Samson saide, Let me lose my life with the Philistims: and he bowed him with all his might, and the house fell vpon the princes, and vpon all the people that were therein. so the dead which he slewe at his death were more then they which he had slaine in his life. 
\verseNumber{31}Then his brethren, and all the house of his father came downe and tooke him, and brought him vp and buryed him betweene Zorah and Eshtaol, in the sepulchre of Manoah his father: nowe he had iudged Israel twenty yeeres.

\chapterNumber{18}In those dayes there was no King in Israel, and at the same time the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for vnto that time all their inheritance had not fallen vnto them among the tribes of Israel.

\verseNumber{8}So they came againe vnto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren saide vnto them, What haue ye done? 
\verseNumber{9}And they answered, Arise, that we may goe vp against them: for we haue seene the lande, and surely it is very good, and doe ye sit stil? be not slouthfull to goe and enter to possesse the lande:

\verseNumber{15}And they turned thitherward and came to the house of the yong man the Leuite, euen vnto the house of Michah, and saluted him peaceably.

\verseNumber{18}And the other went into Michahs house and fet the grauen image, the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image. Then saide the Priest vnto them, What doe ye? 
\verseNumber{19}And they answered him, Holde thy peace: lay thine hande vpon thy mouth, and come with vs to be our father and Priest. Whether is it better that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto ye house of one man, or that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto a tribe and to a familie in Israel? 
\verseNumber{20}And the Priestes heart was glad, and hee tooke the Ephod and the Teraphim, and the grauen image, and went among the people. 
\verseNumber{21}And they turned and departed, and put the children, and the cattell, and the substance before them. 
\verseNumber{22}When they were farre off from the house of Michah, the men that were in the houses neere to Michahs house, gathered together, and pursued after the children of Dan, 
\verseNumber{23}And cryed vnto the children of Dan: who turned their faces, and said vnto Michah, What ayleth thee, that thou makest an outcrie? 
\verseNumber{24}And hee saide, Yee haue taken away my gods, which I made, and the Priest, and go your wayes: and what haue I more? howe then say ye vnto me, what ayleth thee? 
\verseNumber{25}And the children of Dan sayde vnto him, Let not thy voyce be heard among vs, least angrie fellowes runne vpon thee, and thou lose thy life with the liues of thine housholde. 
\verseNumber{26}So the children of Dan went their wayes: and when Michah saw that they were too strong for him, hee turned, and went backe vnto his house. 
\verseNumber{27}And they tooke the things which Michah had made, and the Priest which he had, and came vnto Laish, vnto a quiet people and without mistrust, and smote them with the edge of the sworde, and burnt the citie with fire: 
\verseNumber{28}And there was none to helpe, because Laish was farre from Zidon, and they had no businesse with other men: also it was in the valley that lyeth by Beth-rehob. After, they built the citie, and dwelt therein, 
\verseNumber{29}And called the name of the citie Dan, after the name of Dan their father which was borne vnto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the beginning. 
\verseNumber{30}Then the children of Dan set them vp the grauen image: and Ionathan the sonne of Gershom, the sonne of Manasseh and his sonnes were the Priestes in the tribe of the Danites vntil the day of the captiuitie of the lande.

\verseNumber{13}And he said vnto his seruant, Come, and let vs drawe neere to one of these places, that wee may lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah. 
\verseNumber{14}So they went forward vpon their way, and the sunne went downe vpon them neere to Gibeah, which is in Beniamin. 
\verseNumber{15}Then they turned thither to goe in and lodge in Gibeah: and when he came, he sate him downe in a streete of the citie: for there was no man that tooke them into his house to lodging. 
\verseNumber{16}And beholde, there came an old man from his work out of the field at euen, and the man was of mount Ephraim, but dwelt in Gibeah: and the men of the place were the children of Iemini. 
\verseNumber{17}And when he had lift vp his eyes, he sawe a wayfairing man in the streetes of the citie: then this olde man sayde, Whither goest thou, and whence camest thou? 
\verseNumber{18}And hee answered him, Wee came from Beth-lehem Iudah, vnto the side of Mout Ephraim: from thence am I: and I went to Beth-lehem Iudah, and go now to the house of the Lord: and no man receiueth mee to house, 
\verseNumber{19}Although we haue straw and prouader for our asses, and also bread and wine for me and thine handmayde, and for the boy that is with thy seruant: we lacke nothing. 
\verseNumber{20}And the olde man sayde, Peace bee with thee: as for all that thou lackest, shalt thou finde with me: onely abide not in the streete al night. 
\verseNumber{21}So he brought him into his house, and gaue fodder vnto the asses: and they washed their feete, and did eate and drinke. 
\verseNumber{22}And as they were making their hearts merie, beholde, the men of the citie, wicked men beset the house round about, and smote at the doore, and spake to this olde man the master of the house saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house that we may knowe him. 
\verseNumber{23}And this man the master of ye house went out vnto the, and said vnto them, Nay my brethre, do not so wickedly, I pray you: seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this villenie. 
\verseNumber{24}Behold, here is my daughter, a virgine, and his concubine: them wil I bring out nowe, and humble them, and doe with them what seemeth you good: but to this man doe not this villenie. 
\verseNumber{25}But the men woulde not hearken to him: therefore ye man tooke his concubine, and brought her out vnto them: and they knewe her and abused her all the night vnto the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her goe. 
\verseNumber{26}So the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell downe at the doore of the mans house where her Lord was, till the light day. 
\verseNumber{27}And her lorde arose in the morning, and opened the doores of the house, and went out to goe his way, and beholde, the woman his concubine was dead at the doore of the house and her handes lay vpon the thresholde. 
\verseNumber{28}And hee said vnto her, Vp and let vs goe: but shee answered not. Then he tooke her vp vpon the asse, and the man rose vp, and went vnto his place. 
\verseNumber{29}And whe he was come to his house, he took a knife, and laid hand on his concubine, and deuided her in pieces with her bones into twelue parts, and sent her through all quarters of Israel. 
\verseNumber{30}And all that saw it, said, There was no such thing done or seene since the time that the children of Israel came vp from the lande of Egypt vnto this day: consider the matter, consult and giue sentence. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}Then all the children of Israel went out, and the Congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, vnto the Lord in Mizpeh. 
\verseNumber{2}And the chiefe of all the people, and all the tribes of Israel assembled in the Congregation of the people of God foure hundreth thousand footemen that drewe sword. 
\verseNumber{3}(Now the children of Beniamin heard that the children of Israel were gone vp to Mizpeh) Then the children of Israel saide, Howe is this wickednesse committed? 
\verseNumber{4}And the same Leuite, the womans husband that was slaine, answered and saide, I came vnto Gibeah that is in Beniamin with my concubine to lodge, 
\verseNumber{5}And the men of Gibeah arose against me, and beset the house round about vpon mee by night, thinking to haue slaine me, and haue forced my concubine that she is dead. 
\verseNumber{6}Then I tooke my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the countrey of the inheritance of Israel: for they haue committed abomination and villenie in Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}Behold, ye are al children of Israel: giue your aduise, and counsell herein. 
\verseNumber{8}Then all the people arose as one man, saying, There shall not a man of vs goe to his tent, neither any turne into his house. 
\verseNumber{9}But now this is that thing which we will do to Gibeah: we wil goe vp by lot against it, 
\verseNumber{10}And we wil take ten men of the hundreth throughout al the tribes of Israel, and an hundreth of the thousand, and a thousand of ten thousand to bring vitaile for the people that they may do (when they come to Gibeah of Beniamin) according to all the villeny, that it hath done in Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}So all the men of Israel were gathered against the citie, knit together, as one man. 
\verseNumber{12}And the tribes of Israel sent men through al the tribe of Beniamin, saying, What wickednesse is this that is committed among you? 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe therefore deliuer vs those wicked men which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away euill from Israel: but the children of Beniamin would not obey the voyce of their brethren the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{14}But ye children of Beniamin gathered them selues together out of the cities vnto Gibeah, to come out and fight against the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}And ye children of Beniamin were nombred at that time out of the cities sixe and twenty thousand men that drewe sworde, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were nombred seuen hundreth chosen men. 
\verseNumber{16}Of all this people were seuen hundreth chosen men, being left handed: all these could sling stones at an heare breadth, and not faile. 
\verseNumber{17}Also the men of Israel, beside Beniamin, were nombred foure hundreth thousande men that drew sword, euen all men of warre. 
\verseNumber{18}And the children of Israel arose, and went vp to the house of God, and asked of God, saying, Which of vs shall goe vp first to fight against the children of Beniamin? And the Lord said, Iudah shalbe first. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the children of Israel arose vp earely and camped against Gibeah. 
\verseNumber{20}And the men of Israel went out to battell against Beniamin, and the men of Israel put themselues in aray to fight against the beside Gibeah. 
\verseNumber{21}And the children of Beniamin came out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the ground of the Israelites that day two and twentie thousand men. 
\verseNumber{22}And the people, the men of Israel plucked vp their hearts, and set their battel againe in aray in the place where they put them in aray the first day. 
\verseNumber{23}(For the children of Israel had gone vp and wept before the Lord vnto the euening, and had asked of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe againe to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren? and the Lord said, Go vp against them) 
\verseNumber{24}Then the children of Israel came neere against the children of Beniamin the second day. 
\verseNumber{25}Also the second day Beniamin came forth to meete them out of Gibeah, and slewe downe to the grounde of the children of Israel againe eighteene thousand men: all they could handle the sword. 
\verseNumber{26}Then al the children of Israel went vp and all the people came also vnto the house of God, and wept and sate there before the Lord and fasted that day vnto the euening, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}And the children of Israel asked the Lord (for there was the Arke of the couenat of God in those dayes, 
\verseNumber{28}And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar, the sonne of Aaron stoode before it at that time) saying, Shall I yet goe anie more to battel against the children of Beniamin my brethren, or shall I cease? And the Lord said, Go vp: for to morowe I will deliuer them into your hand. 
\verseNumber{29}And Israel set men to lie in waite round about Gibeah. 
\verseNumber{30}And the children of Israel went vp against the children of Beniamin the third day, and put theselues in aray against Gibeah, as at other times. 
\verseNumber{31}Then the children of Beniamin comming out against the people, were drawen from the citie: and they began to smite of ye people and kill as at other times, euen by the wayes in the fielde (whereof one goeth vp to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah) vpon a thirtie men of Israel. 
\verseNumber{32}(For the children of Beniamin sayd, They are fallen before vs, as at the first. But the children of Israel saide, Let vs flee and plucke them away from the citie vnto the hie wayes) 
\verseNumber{33}And all the men of Israel rose vp out of their place, and put themselues in aray at Baal-tamar: and the men that lay in wayte of the Israelites came forth of their place, euen out of the medowes of Gibeah, 
\verseNumber{34}And they came ouer against Gibeah, ten thousande chosen men of all Israel, and the battell was sore: for they knewe not that the euill was neere them. 
\verseNumber{35}And the Lord smote Beniamin before Israel, and the children of Israel destroyed of the Beniamites the same day fiue and twenty thousand and an hundreth men: all they could handle the sword. 
\verseNumber{36}So the children of Beniamin sawe that they were striken downe: for the men of Israel gaue place to the Beniamites, because they trusted to the men that lay in waite, which they had laide beside Gibeah. 
\verseNumber{37}And they that lay in wait hasted, and brake forth toward Gibeah, and the ambushment drewe themselues along, and smote all the citie with the edge of the sword. 
\verseNumber{38}Also the men of Israel had appoynted a certaine time with the ambushmentes, that they should make a great flame and smoke rise vp out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{39}And when the men of Israel retired in the battel, Beniamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirtie persons: for they said, Surely they are striken downe before vs, as in the first battell. 
\verseNumber{40}But when the flame bega to arise out of the citie, as a pillar of smoke, the Beniamites looked backe, and behold, the flame of the citie began to ascend vp to heauen. 
\verseNumber{41}Then the men of Israel turned againe, and the men of Beniamin were astonied: for they saw that euill was neere vnto them. 
\verseNumber{42}Therefore they fled before the men of Israel vnto the way of the wildernesse, but the battell ouertooke them: also they which came out of the cities, slew them among them. 
\verseNumber{43}Thus they compassed the Beniamites about, and chased them at ease, and ouerranne them, euen ouer against Gibeah on the Eastside. 
\verseNumber{44}And there were slaine of Beniamin eyghteene thousad men, which were all men of warre. 
\verseNumber{45}And they turned and fled to the wildernes vnto the rocke of Rimmon: and the Israelites glayned of them by the way fiue thousand men, and pursued after them vnto Gidom, and slewe two thousand men of them, 
\verseNumber{46}So that all that were slayne that day of Beniamin, were fiue and twentie thousand men that drewe sword, which were all men of warre: 
\verseNumber{47}But sixe hundreth men turned and fled to the wildernesse vnto the rocke of Rimmon, and abode in the rocke of Rimmon foure moneths. 
\verseNumber{48}Then the men of Israel returned vnto the children of Beniamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword from the men of the citie vnto the beasts, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they coulde come by. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}Moreouer, the men of Israel sware in Mizpeh, saying, None of vs shall giue his daughter vnto the Beniamites to wyfe. 
\verseNumber{2}And the people came vnto ye house of God and abode there till euen before God, and lift vp their voyces, and wept with great lamentation, 
\verseNumber{3}And sayde, O Lord God of Israel, why is this come to passe in Israel, that this day one tribe of Israel should want? 
\verseNumber{4}And on the morow the people rose vp and made there an altar, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the children of Israel said, Who is he among all the tribes of Israel, that came not vp with the Congregation vnto the Lord? for they had made a great othe concerning him that came not vp to the Lord to Mizpeh, saying, Let him die the death. 
\verseNumber{6}And the children of Israel were sory for Beniamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day. 
\verseNumber{7}How shall we do for wiues to them that remaine, seeing we haue sworne by the Lord, that we will not giue them of our daughters to wiues? 
\verseNumber{8}Also they saide, Is there any of the tribes of Israel that came not vp to Mizpeh to the Lord? and beholde, there came none of Iabesh Gilead vnto the hoste and to the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{9}For when the people were vewed; beholde, none of the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead were there. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore the Congregation sent thither twelue thousande men of the most valiant, and commanded them, saying, Goe, and smite the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, both women, and children. 
\verseNumber{11}And this is it that ye shall do: ye shall vtterly destroye all the males and all the women that haue lien by men. 
\verseNumber{12}And they found among the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead foure hundreth maides, virgins that had knowne no man by lying with any male: and they brought them vnto the hoste to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the whole Congregation sent and spake with the children of Beniamin that were in the rocke of Rimmon, and called peaceably vnto them: 
\verseNumber{14}And Beniamin came againe at that time, and they gaue them wiues which they had saued aliue of the women of Iabesh Gilead: but they had not so ynough for them. 
\verseNumber{15}And the people were sorie for Beniamin, because the Lord had made a breach in the tribes of Israel. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore the Elders of the Congregation said, How shall we doe for wiues to the remnant? for the women of Beniamin are destroyed. 
\verseNumber{17}And they saide, there must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Beniamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. 
\verseNumber{18}Howbeit we may not giue them wiues of our daughters: for the childre of Israel had sworne, saying, Cursed be he that giueth a wise to Beniamin. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore they said, Beholde, there is a feast of the Lord euery yere in Shiloh in a place, which is on the Northside of Beth-el, and on the Eastside of the way that goeth vp from Beth-el to Shechem, and on the South of Lebonah. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore they commanded the children of Beniamin, saying, Goe, and lye in waite in the vineyardes. 
\verseNumber{21}And when ye see that the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catche you euery man a wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and goe into the land of Beniamin. 
\verseNumber{22}And when their fathers or their brethren come vnto vs to complaine, we wil say vnto them, Haue pitie on them for our sakes, because we reserued not to eche man his wife in the warre, and because ye haue not giuen vnto them hitherto, ye haue sinned. 
\verseNumber{23}And the children of Beniamin did so, and tooke wiues of them that danced according to their nomber: which they tooke, and went away, and returned to their inheritance, and repaired the cities and dwelt in them. 
\verseNumber{24}So the children of Israel departed thence at that time, euery man to his tribe, and to his familie, and went out from thence euery man to his inheritance. 
\verseNumber{25}In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his eyes.

\BibleMainTitle{The Book of Ruth }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}In the time that the Iudges ruled, there was a dearth in the lande, and a man of Beth-lehem Iudah went for to soiourne in the countrey of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sonnes. 
\verseNumber{2}And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi: and the names of his two sonnes, Mahlon, and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem Iudah: and when they came into the land of Moab, they continued there. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she remayned with her two sonnes, 
\verseNumber{4}Which tooke them wiues of the Moabites: the ones name was Orpah, and the name of ye other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten yeeres. 
\verseNumber{5}And Mahlon and Chilion dyed also both twaine: so the woman was left destitute of her two sonnes, and of her husband. 
\verseNumber{6}Then she arose with her daughters in law, and returned from the countrey of Moab: for she had heard say in the countrey of Moab, that the Lord had visited his people, and giuen them bread. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore shee departed out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her, and they went on their way to returne vnto the land of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Naomi saide vnto her two daughters in lawe, Goe, returne eche of you vnto her owne mothers house: the Lord shew fauour vnto you, as ye haue done with the dead, and with me. 
\verseNumber{9}The Lord graunt you, that you may finde rest, either of you in the house of her husband. And when she kissed them, they lift vp their voice and wept. 
\verseNumber{10}And they saide vnto her, Surely we will returne with thee vnto thy people. 
\verseNumber{11}But Naomi saide, Turne againe, my daughters: for what cause will you go with me? are there any more sonnes in my wombe, that they may bee your husbands? 
\verseNumber{12}Turne againe, my daughters: go your way: for I am too olde to haue an husband. If I should say, I haue hope, and if I had an husband this night: yea, if I had borne sonnes, 
\verseNumber{13}Would yee tarie for them, till they were of age? would ye be deferred for them from taking of husbands? nay my daughters: for it grieueth me much for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. 
\verseNumber{14}Then they lift vp their voyce and wept againe, and Orpah kissed her mother in lawe, but Ruth abode still with her. 
\verseNumber{15}And Naomi said, Beholde, thy sister in law is gone backe vnto her people and vnto her gods: returne thou after thy sister in lawe. 
\verseNumber{16}And Ruth answered, Intreate mee not to leaue thee, nor to depart from thee: for whither thou goest, I will goe: and where thou dwellest, I will dwell: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. 
\verseNumber{17}Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried. the Lord do so to me and more also, if ought but death depart thee and me. 
\verseNumber{18}Whe she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, she left speaking vnto her. 
\verseNumber{19}So they went both vntill they came to Beth-lehem: and when they were come to Beth-lehem, it was noysed of them through all the citie, and they said, Is not this Naomi? 
\verseNumber{20}And she answered them, Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara: for the Almightie hath giuen me much bitternes. 
\verseNumber{21}I went out full, and the Lord hath caused me to returne emptie: why call ye me Naomi, seeing the Lord hath humbled me, and the Almightie hath brought me vnto aduersitie? 
\verseNumber{22}So Naomi returned and Ruth the Moabitesse her daughter in law with her, when she came out of the countrey of Moab: and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barly haruest. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Then Naomis husband had a kinsman, one of great power of the familie of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz. 
\verseNumber{2}And Ruth ye Moabitesse said vnto Naomi, I pray thee, Let mee goe to the fielde, and gather eares of corne after him, in whose sight I finde fauour. And she said vnto her, Goe my daughter. 
\verseNumber{3}And she went, and came and gleaned in the fielde after the reapers, and it came to passe, that she met with the portion of the fielde of Boaz, who was of the familie of Elimelech. 
\verseNumber{4}And behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and saide vnto the reapers, The Lord be with you: and they answered him, The Lord blesse thee. 
\verseNumber{5}Then saide Boaz vnto his seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, Whose maide is this? 
\verseNumber{6}And the seruant that was appointed ouer the reapers, answered, and said, It is the Moabitish maide, that came with Naomi out of the countrey of Moab: 
\verseNumber{7}And shee saide vnto vs, I pray you, let mee gleane and gather after the reapers among the sheaues: so shee came, and hath continued from that time in the morning vnto now, saue that she taried a litle in the house. 
\verseNumber{8}Then said Boaz vnto Ruth, Hearest thou, my daughter? goe to none other fielde to gather, neither goe from hence: but abide here by my maydens. 
\verseNumber{9}Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reape, and goe thou after the maidens. Haue I not charged the seruants, that they touche thee not? Moreouer whe thou art a thirst, go vnto ye vessels, and drinke of that which ye seruants haue drawen. 
\verseNumber{10}Then shee fell on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and said vnto him, How haue I found fauour in thine eyes, that thou shouldest know me, seeing I am a stranger? 
\verseNumber{11}And Boaz answered, and said vnto her, All is told and shewed me that thou hast done vnto thy mother in lawe, since the death of thine husband, and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and ye land where thou wast borne, and art come vnto a people which thou knewest not in time past. 
\verseNumber{12}The Lord recompense thy worke, and a ful reward be giuen thee of the Lord God of Israel, vnder whose wings thou art come to trust. 
\verseNumber{13}Then she saide, Let me finde fauour in thy sight, my lord: for thou hast comforted mee, and spoken comfortably vnto thy mayde, though I be not like to one of thy maydes. 
\verseNumber{14}And Boaz said vnto her, At the meale time come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dippe thy morsell in the vineger. And she sate beside the reapers, and hee reached her parched corne: and shee did eate, and was sufficed, and left thereof. 
\verseNumber{15}And when she arose to gleane, Boaz commanded his seruants, saying, Let her gather among the sheaues, and doe not rebuke her. 
\verseNumber{16}Also let fall some of the sheaues for her, and let it lie, that she may gather it vp, and rebuke her not. 
\verseNumber{17}So she gleaned in the fielde vntill euening, and she thresshed that shee had gathered, and it was about an Ephah of barly. 
\verseNumber{18}And she tooke it vp, and went into the citie, and her mother in law saw what she had gathered: Also she tooke foorth, and gaue to her that which she had reserued, when she was sufficed. 
\verseNumber{19}Then her mother in lawe saide vnto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he, that knewe thee. And she shewed her mother in lawe, with whome she had wrought, and saide, The mans name, with whom I wrought to day, is Boaz. 
\verseNumber{20}And Naomi said vnto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the Lord: for he ceaseth not to doe good to the liuing and to the dead. Againe Naomi saide vnto her, The man is neere vnto vs, and of our affinitie. 
\verseNumber{21}And Ruth the Moabitesse said, He said also certainely vnto mee, Thou shalt be with my seruants, vntill they haue ended all mine haruest. 
\verseNumber{22}And Naomi answered vnto Ruth her daughter in lawe, It is best, my daughter, that thou goe out with his maides, that they meete thee not in an other fielde. 
\verseNumber{23}Then she kept her by the maides of Boaz, to gather vnto the end of barly haruest, and of wheate haruest, and dwelt with her mother in lawe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Afterward Naomi her mother in lawe said vnto her, My daughter, shall not I seeke rest for thee, that thou mayest prosper? 
\verseNumber{2}Now also is not Boaz our kinsman, with whose maides thou wast? beholde, he winoweth barly to night in the floore. 
\verseNumber{3}Wash thy sellfe therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: let not the man know of thee, vntill he haue left eating and drinking. 
\verseNumber{4}And when he shall sleepe, marke the place where he layeth him downe, and go, and vncouer the place of his feete, and lay thee downe, and he shall tell thee what thou shalt doe. 
\verseNumber{5}And she answered her, All that thou biddest me, I will doe. 
\verseNumber{6}So she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in lawe bade her. 
\verseNumber{7}And when Boaz had eaten, and drunken, and cheared his heart, he went to lie downe at the end of the heape of corne, and she came softly, and vncouered the place of his feet, and lay downe. 
\verseNumber{8}And at midnight the man was afraide and caught holde: and loe, a woman lay at his feete. 
\verseNumber{9}Then he sayd, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmayd: spread therefore the wing of thy garment ouer thine handmayd: for thou art the kinsman. 
\verseNumber{10}Then sayd he, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: thou hast shewed more goodnes in the latter end, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, were they poore or rich. 
\verseNumber{11}And now, my daughter, feare not: I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth knowe, that thou art a vertuous woman. 
\verseNumber{12}And now, it is true that I am thy kinsman, howbeit there is a kinsman neerer then I. 
\verseNumber{13}Tarie to night, and when morning is come, if he will doe the duetie of a kinsman vnto thee, well, let him doe the kinsmans duetie: but if he will not doe the kinsmans part, then wil I doe the duetie of a kinsman, as the Lord liueth: sleepe vntill the morning. 
\verseNumber{14}And she lay at his feete vntill the morning: and she arose before one could know another: for he sayd, Let no man knowe, that a woman came into the floore. 
\verseNumber{15}Also he sayd, Bring the sheete that thou hast vpon thee, and holde it. And when she helde it, he measured sixe measures of barly, and layde them on her, and she went into the citie. 
\verseNumber{16}And when she came to her mother in law, she sayd, Who art thou, my daughter? And she tolde her all that the man had done to her, 
\verseNumber{17}And said, These sixe measures of barly gaue he me: for he sayd to me, Thou shalt not come emptie vnto thy mother in lawe. 
\verseNumber{18}Then sayd she, My daughter, sit still, vntill thou knowe how the thing will fall: for the man wil not be in rest, vntill he hath finished the matter this same day. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Then went Boaz vp to the gate, and sate there, and beholde, the kinsman, of whome Boaz had spoken, came by: and he sayd, Ho, snch one, come, sit downe here. And he turned, and sate downe. 
\verseNumber{2}Then he tooke ten men of the Elders of the citie, and sayd, Sit ye downe here. And they sate downe. 
\verseNumber{3}And he said vnto ye kinsman, Naomi, that is come againe out of ye countrey of Moab, wil sell a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelechs. 
\verseNumber{4}And I thought to aduertise thee, saying, Buy it before the assistants, and before the Elders of my people. If thou wilt redeeme it, redeeme it: but if thou wilt not redeeme it, tel me: for I know that there is none besides thee to redeeme it, and I am after thee. Then he answered, I wil redeeme it. 
\verseNumber{5}Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou mnst also buy it of Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of the dead, to stirre vp the name of the dead, vpon his inheritance. 
\verseNumber{6}And the kinsman answered, I can not redeeme it, lest I destroy mine owne inheritance: redeeme my right to thee, for I can not redeeme it. 
\verseNumber{7}Now this was the maner beforetime in Israel, concerning redeeming and changing, for to stablish all things: a man did plucke off his shooe, and gaue it his neighbour, and this was a sure witnes in Israel. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore the kinsman sayd to Boas, Buy it for thee: and he drew off his shooe. 
\verseNumber{9}And Boaz sayd vnto the Elders and vnto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I haue bought all that was Elimelechs, and all that was Chilions and Mahlons, of the hand of Naomi. 
\verseNumber{10}And moreouer, Ruth the Moabitesse the wife of Mahlon, haue I bought to be my wife, to stirre vp the name of the dead vpon his inheritance, and that the name of the dead be not put out from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 
\verseNumber{11}And all the people that were in the gate, and the Elders sayd, We are witnesses: the Lord make the wife that commeth into thine house, like Rahel and like Leah, which twaine did build the house of Israel: and that thou mayest doe worthily in Ephrathah, and be famous in Beth-lehem, 
\verseNumber{12}And that thine house be like the house of Pharez (whom Thamar bare vnto Iudah) of the seede which the Lord shall giue thee of this yong woman. 
\verseNumber{13}So Boaz tooke Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in vnto her, the Lord gaue that she conceiued, and bare a sonne. 
\verseNumber{14}And the women sayd vnto Naomi, Blessed be the Lord, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, and his name shalbe continued in Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}And this shall bring thy life againe, and cherish thine olde age: for thy daughter in lawe which loueth thee, hath borne vnto him, and she is better to thee then seuen sonnes. 
\verseNumber{16}And Naomi tooke the childe, and layde it in her lap, and became nource vnto it. 
\verseNumber{17}And the women her neighbours gaue it a name, saying, There is a childe borne to Naomi, and called the name thereof Obed: the same was the father of Ishai, the father of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{18}These now are ye generations of Pharez: Pharez begate Hezron, 
\verseNumber{19}And Hezron begate Ram, and Ram begate Amminadab, 
\verseNumber{20}And Amminadab begate Nahshon, and Nahshon begate Salmah, 
\verseNumber{21}And Salmon begate Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 
\verseNumber{22}And Obed begate Ishai, and Ishai begate Dauid.

\chapterNumber{1}There was a man of one of the two Ramathaim Zophim, of mount Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah the sonne of Ieroham, the sonne of Elihu, the sonne of Tohu, the sonne of Zuph, an Ephrathite: 
\verseNumber{2}And he had two wiues: the name of one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. 
\verseNumber{3}And this man went vp out of his citie euery yeere, to worship and to sacrifice vnto the Lord of hostes in Shiloh, where were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas Priests of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{4}And on a day, when Elkanah sacrificed, he gaue to Peninnah his wife and to all her sonnes and daughters portions, 
\verseNumber{5}But vnto Hannah he gaue a worthy portion: for he loued Hannah, and the Lord had made her barren. 
\verseNumber{6}And her aduersarie vexed her sore, forasmuch as she vpbraided her, because the Lord had made her barren. 
\verseNumber{7}(And so did he yeere by yeere) and as oft as she went vp to the house of the Lord, thus she vexed her, that she wept and did not eate. 
\verseNumber{8}Then sayd Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thine heart troubled? am not I better to thee then ten sonnes? 
\verseNumber{9}So Hannah rose vp after that they had eaten and drunke in Shiloh (and Eli the Priest sate vpon a stoole by one of the postes of the Temple of the Lord) 
\verseNumber{10}And she was troubled in her minde, and prayed vnto the Lord, and wept sore: 
\verseNumber{11}Also she vowed a vowe, and sayd, O Lord of hostes, if thou wilt looke on the trouble of thine handmaide, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaide, but giue vnto thine handmaide a manchilde, then I will giue him vnto the Lord all the dayes of his life, and there shall no rasor come vpon his head. 
\verseNumber{12}And as she continued praying before the Lord, Eli marked her mouth. 
\verseNumber{13}For Hannah spake in her heart: her lips did moue onely, but her voyce was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had bene drunken. 
\verseNumber{14}And Eli sayde vnto her, Howe long wilt thou be drunken? Put away thy drunkennesse from thee. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Hannah answered and sayd, Nay my lord, but I am a woman troubled in spirit: I haue drunke neither wine nor strong drinke, but haue powred out my soule before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}Count not thine handmaide for a wicked woman: for of the abundance of my complaint and my griefe haue I spoken hitherto. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Eli answered, and sayd, Go in peace, and the God of Israel graunt thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 
\verseNumber{18}She sayd againe, Let thine handmayd finde grace in thy sight: so the woman went her way, and did eate, and looked no more sad. 
\verseNumber{19}Then they rose vp early, and worshipped before the Lord, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah. Nowe Elkanah knewe Hannah his wife, and the Lord remembred her. 
\verseNumber{20}For in processe of time Hannah conceiued, and bare a sonne, and she called his name Samuel, Because, said she, I haue asked him of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}So the man Elkanah and all his house went vp to offer vnto the Lord the yeerely sacrifice, and his vowe: 
\verseNumber{22}But Hannah went not vp: for she sayd vnto her husband, I will tarie vntill the childe be weined, then I will bring him that hee may appeare before the Lord, and there abide for euer. 
\verseNumber{23}And Elkanah her husband sayd vnto her, Do what seemeth thee best: tarie vntill thou hast weined him: only the Lord accomplish his word. So the woman abode, and gaue her sonne sucke vntill she weined him. 
\verseNumber{24}And when she had weined him, she tooke him with her with three bullockes and an Ephah of floure and a bottell of wine, and brought him vnto the house of the Lord in Shiloh, and the childe was yong. 
\verseNumber{25}And they slewe a bullocke, and brought the childe to Eli. 
\verseNumber{26}And she said, Oh my Lord, as thy soule liueth, my lord, I am the woman that stoode with thee here praying vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}I prayed for this childe, and the Lord hath giuen me my desire which I asked of him. 
\verseNumber{28}Therefore also I haue giuen him vnto the Lord: as long as he liueth hee shalbe giuen vnto the Lord: and he worshipped the Lord there. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}And Hannah prayed, and said, Mine heart reioyceth in the Lord, mine horne is exalted in the Lord: my mouth is enlarged ouer mine enemies, because I reioyce in thy saluation. 
\verseNumber{2}There is none holy as the Lord: yea, there is none besides thee, and there is no god like our God. 
\verseNumber{3}Speake no more presumptuously: let not arrogancie come out of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by him enterprises are established. 
\verseNumber{4}The bow and the mightie men are broken, and the weake haue girded themselues with strength. 
\verseNumber{5}They that were full, are hired foorth for bread, and the hungrie are no more hired, so that the barren hath borne seuen: and shee that had many children, is feeble. 
\verseNumber{6}The Lord killeth and maketh aliue: bringeth downe to the graue and raiseth vp. 
\verseNumber{7}The Lord maketh poore and maketh rich: bringeth lowe, and exalteth. 
\verseNumber{8}He raiseth vp ye poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherite the seate of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lordes, and he hath set the world vpon them. 
\verseNumber{9}Hee will keepe the feete of his Saintes, and the wicked shall keepe silence in darkenes: for in his owne might shall no man be strong. 
\verseNumber{10}The Lordes aduersaries shall be destroyed, and out of heauen shall he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the endes of the worlde, and shall giue power vnto his King, and exalt the horne of his Anoynted. 
\verseNumber{11}And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house, and the childe did minister vnto the Lord before Eli the Priest. 
\verseNumber{12}Now the sonnes of Eli were wicked men, and knewe not the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}For the Priestes custome towarde the people was this: when any man offered sacrifice, the Priestes boy came, while the flesh was seething, and a fleshhooke with three teeth, in his hand, 
\verseNumber{14}And thrust it into the kettle, or into the caldron, or into the panne, or into the potte: all that the fleshhooke brought vp, the Priest tooke for himselfe: thus they did vnto all the Israelites, that came thither to Shiloh. 
\verseNumber{15}Yea, before they burnt the fat, the priests boy came and saide to the man that offered, Giue me flesh to rost for the priest: for he wil not haue sodden flesh of thee, but rawe. 
\verseNumber{16}And if any man saide vnto him, Let them burne the fatte according to the custome, then take as much as thine heart desireth: then hee would answere, No, but thou shalt giue it nowe: and if thou wilt not, I will take it by force. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore the sinne of the yong men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Now Samuel being a yong childe ministred before the Lord, girded with a linen Ephod. 
\verseNumber{19}And his mother made him a litle coat, and brought it to him from yeere to yeere, when she came vp with her husband, to offer the yerely sacrifice. 
\verseNumber{20}And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord giue thee seede of this woman, for the petition that she asked of the Lord: and they departed vnto their place. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceiued, and bare three sonnes, and two daughters. And the childe Samuel grewe before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}So Eli was very olde, and heard all that his sonnes did vnto all Israel, and howe they laye with the women that assembled at the doore of the tabernacle of the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{23}And hee saide vnto them, Why doe ye such things? for of all this people I heare euill reportes of you. 
\verseNumber{24}Do no more, my sonnes, for it is no good report that I heare, which is, that ye make the Lords people to trespasse. 
\verseNumber{25}If one man sinne against another, the Iudge shall iudge it: but if a man sinne against the Lord, who will pleade for him? Notwithstanding they obeyed not the voyce of their father, because the Lord would slay them. 
\verseNumber{26}(Nowe the childe Samuel profited and grewe, and was in fauour both with the Lord and also with men) 
\verseNumber{27}And there came a man of God vnto Eli, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Did not I plainely appeare vnto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaohs house? 
\verseNumber{28}And I chose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my Priest, to offer vpon mine altar, and to burne incense, and to weare an Ephod before me, and I gaue vnto the house of thy father all the offrings made by fire of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{29}Wherefore haue you kicked against my sacrifice and mine offering, which I commanded in my Tabernacle, and honourest thy children aboue mee, to make your selues fatte of the first fruites of all the offerings of Israel my people? 
\verseNumber{30}Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I saide, that thine house and the house of thy father should walke before mee for euer: but nowe the Lord saith, It shall not be so: for them that honour me, I will honour, and they that despise me, shall be despised. 
\verseNumber{31}Beholde, the dayes come, that I will cut off thine arme, and the arme of thy fathers house, that there shall not be an olde man in thine house. 
\verseNumber{32}And thou shalt see thine enemie in the habitation of the Lord in all thinges wherewith God shall blesse Israel, and there shall not be an olde man in thine house for euer. 
\verseNumber{33}Neuerthelesse, I will not destroy euery one of thine from mine altar, to make thine eyes to faile, and to make thine heart sorowfull: and all ye multitude of thine house shall die when they be men. 
\verseNumber{34}And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, that shall come vpon thy two sonnes Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both. 
\verseNumber{35}And I will stirre me vp a faithfull Priest, that shall do according to mine heart and according to my minde: and I wil build him a sure house, and he shall walke before mine Anointed for euer. 
\verseNumber{36}And all that are left in thine house, shall come and bowe downe to him for a piece of siluer and a morsell of bread, and shall say, Appoint me, I pray thee, to one of the priestes offices, that I may eate a morsell of bread. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Nowe the childe Samuel ministred vnto the Lord before Eli: and the word of the Lord was precious in those dayes: for there was no manifest vision. 
\verseNumber{2}And at that time, as Eli lay in his place, his eyes began to waxe dimme that he could not see. 
\verseNumber{3}And yet the light of God went out, Samuel slept in the temple of the Lord, where the Arke of God was. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the Lord called Samuel: and hee said, Here I am. 
\verseNumber{5}And he ranne vnto Eli, and said, Here am I, for thou calledst me. But he said, I called thee not: goe againe and sleepe. And he went and slept. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord called once againe, Samuel. And Samuel arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou diddest call me. And he answered, I called thee not, my sonne: go againe and sleepe. 
\verseNumber{7}Thus did Samuel, before hee knewe the Lord, and before the word of the Lord was reueiled vnto him. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord called Samuel againe the thirde time: and he arose, and went to Eli, and said, I am here: for thou hast called me. Then Eli perceiued that the Lord had called the childe. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore Eli saide vnto Samuel, Goe and sleepe: and if he call thee, then say, Speake Lord, for thy seruant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lord came, and stoode, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speake, for thy seruant heareth. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the Lord said to Samuel, Beholde, I wil doe a thing in Israel, whereof whosoeuer shall heare, his two eares shall tingle. 
\verseNumber{12}In that day I will raise vp against Eli all things which I haue spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an ende. 
\verseNumber{13}And I haue tolde him that I will iudge his house for euer, for the iniquitie which hee knoweth, because his sonnes ranne into a slaunder, and he stayed them not. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe therefore I haue sworne vnto the house of Eli, that the wickednes of Elis house, shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offring for euer. 
\verseNumber{15}Afterward Samuel slept vntil the morning, and opened the doores of the house of the Lord, and Samuel feared to shewe Eli the vision. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel my sonne. And he answered, Here I am. 
\verseNumber{17}Then he said, What is it, that the Lord said vnto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from mee. God doe so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me, of all that he said vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{18}So Samuel tolde him euery whit, and hid nothing from him. Then hee said, It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good. 
\verseNumber{19}And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground. 
\verseNumber{20}And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that faithfull Samuel was the Lordes Prophet. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord appeared againe in Shiloh: for the Lord reueiled himselfe to Samuel in Shiloh by his word. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And Samuel spake vnto all Israel: and Israel went out against the Philistims to battel and pitched beside Eben-ezer: and the Philistims pitched in Aphek. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Philistims put themselues in aray against Israel: and when they ioyned the battell, Israel was smitten downe before the Philistims: who slewe of the armie in the fielde about foure thousand men. 
\verseNumber{3}So when the people were come into the campe, the Elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the Lord smitten vs this day before ye Philistims? let vs bring the Arke of the couenant of the Lord out of Shiloh vnto vs, that when it commeth among vs, it may saue vs out of the hande of our enemies. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the people sent to Shiloh, and brought from thence the Arke of the couenant of the Lord of hostes, who dwelleth betweene the Cherubims: and there were the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni, and Phinehas, with the Arke of the couenant of God. 
\verseNumber{5}And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the hoste, all Israel shouted a mightie shoute, so that the earth rang againe. 
\verseNumber{6}And when the Philistims heard the noyse of the shoute, they said, What meaneth the sound of this mightie shoute in the host of the Ebrewes? and they vnderstoode, that the Arke of the Lord was come into the hoste. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Philistims were afraide, and saide, God is come into the hoste: therefore saide they, Wo vnto vs: for it hath not bene so heretofore. 
\verseNumber{8}Wo vnto vs, who shall deliuer vs out of the hande of these mightie Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{9}Be strong and play the men, O Philistims, that ye be not seruants vnto the Ebrewes, as they haue serued you: be valiant therefore, and fight. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Philistims fought, and Israel was smitten downe, and fled euery man into his tent: and there was an exceeding great slaughter: for there fell of Israel thirtie thousand footemen. 
\verseNumber{11}And the Arke of God was taken, and the two sonnes of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas died. 
\verseNumber{12}And there ranne a man of Beniamin out of the armie, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head. 
\verseNumber{13}And when hee came, loe, Eli sate vpon a seate by the wayside, wayting: for his heart feared for the Arke of God and when the man came into the citie to tell it, all the citie cried out. 
\verseNumber{14}And when Eli heard the noyse of the crying, he sayd, What meaneth this noyse of the tumult? and the man came in hastily, and tolde Eli. 
\verseNumber{15}(Nowe Eli was fourescore and eighteene yeere olde, and his eyes were dimme that hee could not see) 
\verseNumber{16}And the man sayd vnto Eli, I came from the armie, and I fled this day out of the hoste: and he sayd, What thing is done, my sonne? 
\verseNumber{17}Then the messenger answered and sayd, Israel is fled before the Philistims, and there hath bene also a great slaughter among the people: and moreouer thy two sonnes, Hophni and Phinehas are dead, and the Arke of God is taken. 
\verseNumber{18}And when he had made mention of the Arke of God, Eli fell from his seate backward by the side of the gate, and his necke was broken, and he dyed: for he was an olde man and heauie: and he had iudged Israel fourtie yeeres. 
\verseNumber{19}And his daughter in lawe Phinehas wife was with childe neere her trauell: and when she heard the report that the Arke of God was taken, and that her father in lawe and her husband were dead, she bowed her selfe, and trauailed: for her paines came vpon her. 
\verseNumber{20}And about the time of her death, the women that stoode about her, sayd vnto her, Feare not: for thou hast borne a sonne: but she answered not, nor regarded it. 
\verseNumber{21}And she named the childe Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel, because the Arke of God was taken, and because of her father in lawe and her husband. 
\verseNumber{22}She sayde againe, The glory is departed from Israel: for the Arke of God is taken. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Then the Philistims tooke the Arke of God and caried it from Eben-ezer vnto Ashdod, 
\verseNumber{2}Euen the Philistims tooke ye Arke of God, and brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. 
\verseNumber{3}And when they of Ashdod rose the next day in the morning, beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and they tooke vp Dagon, and set him in his place againe. 
\verseNumber{4}Also they rose vp earely in the morning the next day, and beholde, Dagon was fallen vpon his face on the ground before the Arke of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and the two palmes of his hands were cut off vpon the thresholde: onely the stumpe of Dagon was left to him. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore the Priests of Dagon, and all that come into Dagons house tread not on the thresholde of Dagon in Ashdod, vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{6}But the hand of the Lord was heauie vpon them of Ashdod, and destroyed them, and smote them with the emerods, both Ashdod, and the coastes thereof. 
\verseNumber{7}And when the men of Ashdod sawe this, they sayd, Let not the Arke of the God of Israel abide with vs: for his hand is sore vpon vs and vpon Dagon our god. 
\verseNumber{8}They sent therefore and gathered all the princes of the Philistims vnto them, and sayde, What shall we doe with the Arke of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the Arke of the God of Israel be caried about vnto Gath: and they caried the Arke of the God of Israel about. 
\verseNumber{9}And when they had caried it about, the hand of the Lord was against the citie with a very great destruction, and he smote the men of the citie both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret partes. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore they sent the Arke of God to Ekron: and assoone as the Arke of God came to Ekron, the Ekronites cryed out, saying, They haue brought the Arke of the God of Israel to vs to slay vs and our people. 
\verseNumber{11}Therefore they sent, and gathered together all the princes of the Philistims and sayd, Sende away the Arke of the God of Israel, and let it returne to his owne place, that it slay vs not and our people: for there was a destruction and death throughout all the citie, and the hand of God was very sore there. 
\verseNumber{12}And the men that dyed not, were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the citie went vp to heauen. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}So the Arke of the Lord was in the countrey of the Philistims seuen moneths. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Philistims called the priests and the soothsayers, saying, What shall we doe with the Arke of the Lord? tell vs wherewith we shall send it home againe. 
\verseNumber{3}And they sayd, If you send away the Arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but giue vnto it a sinne offering: then shall ye be healed, and it shall be knowen to you, why his hand departeth not from you. 
\verseNumber{4}Then sayd they, What shalbe the sinne offring, which we shall giue vnto it? And they answered, Fiue golden emerods and fiue golden mise, according to the number of the princes of the Philistims: for one plague was on you all, and on your princes. 
\verseNumber{5}Wherefore ye shall make the similitudes of your emerods, and the similitudes of your mise that destroy the land: so ye shall giue glory vnto the God of Israel, that he may take his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore then should ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let them goe, and they departed? 
\verseNumber{7}Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on whome there hath come no yoke: and tye the kine to the cart, and bring the calues home from them. 
\verseNumber{8}Then take the Arke of the Lord, and set it vpon the cart, and put the iewels of gold which ye giue it for a sinne offering in a coffer by the side thereof, and send it away, that it may go. 
\verseNumber{9}And take heede, if it goe vp by the way of his owne coast to Beth-shemesh, it is he that did vs this great euill: but if not, we shall know then, that it is not his hand that smote vs, but it was a chance that happened vs. 
\verseNumber{10}And the men did so: for they tooke two kine that gaue milke, and tied them to the cart, and shut the calues at home. 
\verseNumber{11}So they set the Arke of the Lord vpon the cart, and the coffer with the mise of golde, and with the similitudes of their emerods. 
\verseNumber{12}And the kine went the streight way to Beth-shemesh, and kept one path and lowed as they went, and turned neither to the right hand nor to the left: also the Princes of the Philistims went after them, vnto the borders of Beth-shemesh. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheate haruest in the valley, and they lift vp their eyes, and spied the Arke, and reioyced when they sawe it. 
\verseNumber{14}And the cart came into the fielde of Ioshua a Beth-shemite, and stood still there. There was also a great stone, and they claue the wood of the cart, and offered the kine for a burnt offring vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Leuites tooke downe the Arke of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the iewels of golde were, and put them on the great stone, and the men of Beth-shemesh offred burnt offring, and sacrificed sacrifices that same day vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the fiue Princes of ye Philistims had seene it, they returned to Ekron the same day. 
\verseNumber{17}So these are the golden emerods, which the Philistims gaue for a sinne offering to the Lord: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, and for Ekron one, 
\verseNumber{18}And golden mise, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistims, belonging to the fiue princes, both of walled townes, and of townes vnwalled, vnto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set the Arke of the Lord: which stone remaineth vnto this day in the fielde of Ioshua the Beth-shemite. 
\verseNumber{19}And hee smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked in the Arke of the Lord: he slew euen among the people fiftie thousand men and three score and ten men. and the people lamented, because the Lord had slaine the people with so great a slaughter. 
\verseNumber{20}Wherefore the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go from vs? 
\verseNumber{21}And they sent messengers to the inhabitans of Kiriath-iearim, saying, The Philistims haue brought againe the Arke of the Lord: come ye downe and take it vp to you. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}Then the men of Kiriath-iearim came, and tooke vp the Arke of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill: and they sanctified Eleazar his sonne, to keepe the Arke of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{2}(For while the Arke abode in Kiriath-iearim, the time was long, for it was twentie yeeres) and al the house of Israel lamented after ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Samuel spake vnto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye be come againe vnto the Lord with all your heart, put away the strange gods from among you, and Ashtaroth, and direct your hearts vnto the Lord, and serue him only, and he shall deliuer you out of the hand of ye Philistims. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and serued the Lord onely. 
\verseNumber{5}And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drewe water and powred it out before the Lord, and fasted the same day, and sayd there, We haue sinned against the Lord. And Samuel iudged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 
\verseNumber{7}When the Philistims heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the princes of the Philistims went vp against Israel: and when the children of Israel heard that, they were afraide of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{8}And the children of Israel sayd to Samuel, Cease not to crie vnto the Lord our God for vs, that hee may saue vs out of the hand of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Samuel tooke a sucking lambe, and offered it all together for a burnt offering vnto the Lord, and Samuel cryed vnto the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him. 
\verseNumber{10}And as Samuel offered the burnt offering, the Philistims came to fight against Israel: but the Lord thundred with a great thunder that day vpon the Philistims, and scattered them: so they were slaine before Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}And the men of Israel went from Mizpeh and pursued the Philistims, and smote them vntill they came vnder Beth-car. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Samuel tooke a stone and pitched it betweene Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name thereof, Eben-ezer, and he sayd, Hitherto hath the Lord holpen vs. 
\verseNumber{13}So the Philistims were brought vnder, and they came no more againe into the coastes of Israel: and the hand of the Lord was against the Philistims all the dayes of Samuel. 
\verseNumber{14}Also the cities which the Philistims had taken from Israel, were restored to Israel, from Ekron euen to Gath: and Israel deliuered the coastes of the same out of the hands of the Philistims: and there was peace betweene Israel and the Amorites. 
\verseNumber{15}And Samuel iudged Israel all the dayes of his life, 
\verseNumber{16}And went about yeere by yere to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and iudged Israel in all those places. 
\verseNumber{17}Afterward hee returned to Ramah: for there was his house, and there he iudged Israel: also he built an altar there vnto the Lord.

\chapterNumber{8}When Samuel was nowe become olde, he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}(And the name of his eldest sonne was Ioel, and the name of the second Abiah) euen Iudges in Beer-sheba. 
\verseNumber{3}And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke rewards, and peruerted the iudgement. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore all the Elders of Israel gathered them together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah, 
\verseNumber{5}And said vnto him, Beholde, thou art olde, and thy sonnes walke not in thy wayes: make vs nowe a King to iudge vs like all nations. 
\verseNumber{6}But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Lord said vnto Samuel, Heare the voyce of the people in all that they shall say vnto thee: for they haue not cast thee away, but they haue cast me away, that I should not reigne ouer the. 
\verseNumber{8}As they haue euer done since I brought them out of Egypt euen vnto this day, (and haue forsaken me, and serued other gods) euen so doe they vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe therefore hearken vnto their voyce: howbeit yet testifie vnto them, and shewe them the maner of ye King that shall reigne ouer them. 
\verseNumber{10}So Samuel told all the wordes of the Lord vnto the people that asked a King of him. 
\verseNumber{11}And he saide, This shall be the maner of the King that shall reigne ouer you: he will take your sonnes, and appoint them to his charets, and to be his horsemen, and some shall runne before his charet. 
\verseNumber{12}Also he will make them his captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer fifties, and to eare his ground, and to reape his haruest, and to make instruments of warre, and the thinges that serue for his charets. 
\verseNumber{13}He will also take your daughters and make them apoticaries, and cookes, and bakers. 
\verseNumber{14}And he will take your fieldes, and your vineyardes, and your best Oliue trees, and giue them to his seruants. 
\verseNumber{15}And he will take the tenth of your seede, and of your vineyards, and giue it to his Eunuches, and to his seruants. 
\verseNumber{16}And he will take your men seruants, and your maide seruants, and the chiefe of your yong men, and your asses, and put them to his worke. 
\verseNumber{17}He will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants. 
\verseNumber{18}And ye shall crie out at that day, because of your King, whom ye haue chosen you, and the Lord will not heare you at that day. 
\verseNumber{19}But the people would not heare the voyce of Samuel, but did say, Nay, but there shall be a King ouer vs. 
\verseNumber{20}And we also will be like all other nations, and our King shall iudge vs, and goe out before vs, and fight our battels. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore when Samuel heard all ye wordes of ye people, he rehearsed the in ye eares of ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}And the Lord saide to Samuel, Hearken vnto their voyce, and make them a King. And Samuel said vnto the men of Israel, Goe euery man vnto his citie.

\verseNumber{3}And the asses of Kish Sauls father were lost: therefore Kish said to Saul his sonne, Take nowe one of the seruants with thee, and arise, goe, and seeke the asses. 
\verseNumber{4}So he passed through mount Ephraim, and went through the lande of Shalishah, but they found them not. Then they went through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: he went also through ye land of Iemini, but they found the not. 
\verseNumber{5}When they came to the lande of Zuph, Saul saide vnto his seruant that was with him, Come and let vs returne, lest my father leaue the care of asses, and take thought for vs. 
\verseNumber{6}And he said vnto him, Behold nowe, in this citie is a man of God, and he is an honorable man: all that he saith commeth to passe: let vs nowe goe thither, if so be that he can shewe vs what way we may goe. 
\verseNumber{7}Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well then, let vs goe: but what shall we bring vnto the man? For the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is no present to bring to the man of God: what haue we? 
\verseNumber{8}And the seruant answered Saul againe, and said, Beholde, I haue founde about me the fourth part of a shekell of siluer: that will I giue the man of God, to tell vs our way. 
\verseNumber{9}(Beforetime in Israel when a man went to seeke an answere of God, thus he spake, Come, and let vs goe to the Seer: for he that is called nowe a Prophet, was in the olde time called a Seer) 
\verseNumber{10}Then saide Saul to his seruant, Well saide, come, let vs goe: so they went into the citie where the man of God was. 
\verseNumber{11}And as they were going vp the hie way to the citie, they found maydes that came out to draw water, and said vnto them, Is there here a Seer? 
\verseNumber{12}And they answered them, and said, Yea: loe, he is before you: make haste nowe, for he came this day to the citie: for there is an offering of the people this day in the hie place. 
\verseNumber{13}When ye shall come into the citie, ye shall finde him straightway yet he come vp to the hie place to eate: for the people will not eate vntill he come, because he will blesse the sacrifice: and then eate they that be bidden to the feast: nowe therefore goe vp: for euen now shall ye find him. 
\verseNumber{14}Then they went vp into the citie, and when they were come into the middes of the citie, Samuel came out against them, to goe vp to the hie place. 
\verseNumber{15}But the Lord had reueiled to Samuel secretly (a day before Saul came) saying, 
\verseNumber{16}To morow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Beniamin: him shalt thou anoint to be gouernour ouer my people Israel, that he may saue my people out of the hands of the Philistims: for I haue looked vpon my people, and their crie is come vnto me. 
\verseNumber{17}When Samuel therefore sawe Saul, the Lord answered him, See, this is the man whom I spake to thee of, he shall rule my people. 
\verseNumber{18}Then went Saul to Samuel in the middes of the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the Seers house is. 
\verseNumber{19}And Samuel answered Saul, and saide, I am the Seer: goe vp before me vnto the hie place: for ye shall eate with me to day. and to morowe I will let thee goe, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 
\verseNumber{20}And as for thine asses that were lost three dayes ago, care not for them: for they are founde. and on whom is set all the desire of Israel? is it not vpon thee and on all thy fathers house? 
\verseNumber{21}But Saul answered, and said, Am not I the sonne of Iemini of the smallest tribe of Israel? and my familie is the least of all the families of the tribe of Beniamin. Wherefore then speakest thou so to me? 
\verseNumber{22}And Samuel tooke Saul and his seruant, and brought them into the chamber, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden: which were about thirtie persons. 
\verseNumber{23}And Samuel saide vnto the cooke, Bring foorth the portion which I gaue thee, and whereof I said vnto thee, Keepe it with thee. 
\verseNumber{24}And the cooke tooke vp the shoulder, and that which was vpon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Beholde, that which is left, set it before thee and eate: for hitherto hath it bene kept for thee, saying, Also I haue called the people. So Saul did eate with Samuel that day. 
\verseNumber{25}And when they were come downe from the hie place into the citie, he communed with Saul vpon the top of the house. 
\verseNumber{26}And when they arose early about ye spring of the day, Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Vp, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out, both he, and Samuel.

\verseNumber{15}And Sauls vncle saide, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said vnto you. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Saul saide to his vncle, He tolde vs plainely that the asses were founde: but concerning the kingdome whereof Samuel spake, tolde he him not. 
\verseNumber{17}And Samuel assembled the people vnto the Lord in Mizpeh,

\verseNumber{7}And he that bare his armour, saide vnto him, Doe all that is in thine heart: goe where it pleaseth thee: beholde, I am with thee as thine heart desireth. 
\verseNumber{8}Then said Ionathan, Beholde, we goe ouer vnto those men, and will shewe our selues vnto them. 
\verseNumber{9}If they say on this wise to vs, Tarie vntill we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and not goe vp to them. 
\verseNumber{10}But if they say, Come vp vnto vs, then we will goe vp: for the Lord hath deliuered them into our hande: and this shall be a signe vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{11}So they both shewed themselues vnto the garison of the Philistims: and the Philistims said, See, the Ebrewes come out of the holes wherein they had hid themselues. 
\verseNumber{12}And the men of the garison answered Ionathan, and his armour bearer, and said, Come vp to vs: for we will shewe you a thing. Then Ionathan said vnto his armour bearer, Come vp after me: for the Lord hath deliuered them into the hand of Israel. 
\verseNumber{13}So Ionathan went vp vpon his hands and vpon his feete, and his armour bearer after him: and some fell before Ionathan, and his armour bearer slewe others after him. 
\verseNumber{14}So the first slaughter which Ionathan and his armour bearer made, was about twentie men, as it were within halfe an acre of land which two oxen plowe. 
\verseNumber{15}And there was a feare in the hoste, and in the field, and among all the people: the garison also, and they that went out to spoyle, were afraid themselues: and the earth trembled: for it was striken with feare by God. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Beniamin sawe: and beholde, the multitude was discomfited, and smitten as they went. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore saide Saul vnto the people that were with him, Search nowe and see, who is gone from vs. And when they had nombred, beholde, Ionathan and his armour bearer were not there. 
\verseNumber{18}And Saul said vnto Ahiah, Bring hither the Arke of God (for the Arke of God was at that time with the children of Israel) 
\verseNumber{19}And while Saul talked vnto the Priest, the noyse that was in the hoste of the Philistims, spred farther abroade, and encreased: therefore Saul said vnto the Priest, Withdraw thine hand. 
\verseNumber{20}And Saul was assembled with all the people that were with him, and they came to the battell: and behold, euery mans sworde was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture. 
\verseNumber{21}Moreouer, the Ebrewes that were with the Philistims beforetime, and were come with them into all partes of the hoste, euen they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Ionathan. 
\verseNumber{22}Also all the men of Israel which had hid themselues in mount Ephraim, when they heard, that the Philistims were fled, they followed after them in the battell. 
\verseNumber{23}And so the Lord saued Israel that day: and the battell continued vnto Beth-auen. 
\verseNumber{24}And at that time the men of Israel were pressed with hunger: for Saul charged the people with an othe, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth foode till night, that I may be auenged of mine enemies: so none of the people tasted any sustenance. 
\verseNumber{25}And all they of the land came to a wood, where hony lay vpon the ground. 
\verseNumber{26}And the people came into the wood, and beholde, the hony dropped, and no man mooued his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the othe. 
\verseNumber{27}But Ionathan heard not when his father charged the people with the othe: wherefore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand, and dipt it in an hony combe, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes receiued sight. 
\verseNumber{28}Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father made the people to sweare, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth sustenance this day: and the people were faint. 
\verseNumber{29}Then said Ionathan, My father hath troubled the land: see nowe howe mine eyes are made cleare, because I haue tasted a litle of this honie: 
\verseNumber{30}Howe much more, if the people had eaten to day of the spoyle of their enemies which they found? for had there not bene nowe a greater slaughter among the Philistims? 
\verseNumber{31}And they smote the Philistims that day, from Michmash to Aiialon: and the people were exceeding faint. 
\verseNumber{32}So the people turned to the spoile, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and calues, and slewe them on the ground, and the people did eate them with the blood. 
\verseNumber{33}Then men tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, the people sinne against the Lord, in that they eate with the blood. And he saide, Ye haue trespassed: roule a great stone vnto me this day. 
\verseNumber{34}Againe Saul said, Goe abroade among the people, and bid them bring me euery man his oxe, and euery man his sheepe, and slay them here, and eate and sinne not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And ye people brought euery man his oxe in his hand that night, and slew them there. 
\verseNumber{35}Then Saul made an altar vnto the Lord, and that was the first altar that he made vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{36}And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistims by night, and spoyle them vntill the morning shine, and let vs not leaue a man of them. And they saide, Doe whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then saide the Priest, Let vs drawe neere hither vnto God. 
\verseNumber{37}So Saul asked of God, saying, Shall I goe downe after ye Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into the hands of Israel? But he answered him not at that time. 
\verseNumber{38}And Saul said, All ye chiefe of the people, come ye hither, and knowe, and see by whom this sinne is done this day. 
\verseNumber{39}For as the Lord liueth, which saueth Israel, though it be done by Ionathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people answered him. 
\verseNumber{40}Then he saide vnto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people saide vnto Saul, Doe what thou thinkest best. 
\verseNumber{41}Then Saul said vnto the Lord God of Israel, Giue a perfite lot. And Ionathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped. 
\verseNumber{42}And Saul saide, Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne. And Ionathan was taken. 
\verseNumber{43}Then Saul said to Ionathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Ionathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a litle hony with the ende of the rod, that was in mine hand, and loe, I must die. 
\verseNumber{44}Againe Saul answered, God doe so and more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Ionathan. 
\verseNumber{45}And the people said vnto Saul, Shall Ionathan die, who hath so mightily deliuered Israel? God forbid. As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of his head fall to the ground: for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not. 
\verseNumber{46}Then Saul came vp from the Philistims: and the Philistims went to their owne place. 
\verseNumber{47}So Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel, and fought against all his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistims: and whithersoeuer he went, he handled them as wicked men. 
\verseNumber{48}He gathered also an hoste and smote Amalek, and deliuered Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them. 
\verseNumber{49}Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Ionathan, and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Merab, and the yonger was named Michal. 
\verseNumber{50}And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner, Sauls vncle. 
\verseNumber{51}And Kish was Sauls father: and Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel. 
\verseNumber{52}And there was sore warre against the Philistims all the dayes of Saul: and whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man, and meete for the warre, he tooke him vnto him.

\chapterNumber{15}Afterward Samuel said vnto Saul, The Lord sent me to anoint thee King ouer his people, ouer Israel: nowe therefore obey the voyce of the wordes of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{2}Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I remember what Amalek did to Israel, howe they laide waite for the in ye way, as they came vp from Egypt. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe therefore goe, and sinite Amalek, and destroy ye all that perteyneth vnto them, and haue no compassion on them, but slay both man and woman, both infant and suckling, both oxe, and sheepe, both camell, and asse. 
\verseNumber{4}And Saul assembled ye people, and nombred them in Telaim, two hundreth thousande footemen, and ten thousand men of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{5}And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and set watch at the riuer. 
\verseNumber{6}And Saul said vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, and get you downe from among the Amalekites, least I destroy you with them: for ye shewed mercie to all the children of Israel, when they came vp from Egypt: and the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 
\verseNumber{7}So Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah as thou commest to Shur, that is before Egypt, 
\verseNumber{8}And tooke Agag the King of the Amalekites aliue, and destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 
\verseNumber{9}But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the better sheepe, and the oxen, and the fat beasts, and the lambes, and all that was good, and they would not destroy them: but euery thing that was vile and nought worth, that they destroyed. 
\verseNumber{10}Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying, 
\verseNumber{11}It repenteth me that I haue made Saul King: for he is turned from me, and hath not performed my commandements. And Samuel was mooued, and cryed vnto the Lord all night. 
\verseNumber{12}And when Samuel arose early to meete Saul in the morning, one tolde Samuel, saying, Saul is gone to Carmel: and beholde, he hath made him there a place, from whence he returned, and departed, and is gone downe to Gilgal. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said vnto him. Blessed be thou of the Lord, I haue fulfilled the commandement of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{14}But Samuel saide, What meaneth then the bleating of the sheepe in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare? 
\verseNumber{15}And Saul answered, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen to sacrifice them vnto the Lord thy God, and the remnant haue we destroyed. 
\verseNumber{16}Againe Samuel saide to Saul, Let me tell thee what the Lord hath saide to me this night. And he said vnto him, Say on. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Samuel saide, When thou wast litle in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? for the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{18}And the Lord sent thee on a iourney, and saide, Goe, and destroy those sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill thou destroy them. 
\verseNumber{19}Nowe wherefore hast thou not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, but hast turned to the pray, and hast done wickedly in the sight of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{20}And Saul saide vnto Samuel, Yea, I haue obeyed the voyce of the Lord, and haue gone the way which the Lord sent me, and haue brought Agag the King of Amalek, and haue destroyed the Amalekites. 
\verseNumber{21}But the people tooke of the spoyle, sheepe, and oxen, and the chiefest of the things which shoulde haue bene destroyed, to offer vnto the Lord thy God in Gilgal. 
\verseNumber{22}And Samuel saide, Hath the Lord as great pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as when the voyce of the Lord is obeyed? beholde, to obey is better then sacrifice, and to hearken is better then the fatte of rammes. 
\verseNumber{23}For rebellion is as the sinne of withcraft, and transgression is wickednesse and idolatrie. Because thou hast cast away the worde of the Lord, therefore hee hath cast away thee from being King. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Saul sayde vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voyce. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe therefore I pray thee, take away my sinne, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord. 
\verseNumber{26}But Samuel saide vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast cast away the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath cast away thee, that thou shalt not be King ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{27}And as Samuel turned himselfe to goe away, he caught the lappe of his coate, and it rent. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Samuel saide vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to thy neighbour, that is better then thou. 
\verseNumber{29}For in deede the strength of Israel will not lye nor repent: for hee is not a man that hee should repent. 
\verseNumber{30}Then he saide, I haue sinned: but honour mee, I pray thee, before the Elders of my people, and before Israel, and turne againe with mee, that I may worship the Lord thy God. 
\verseNumber{31}So Samuel turned againe, and followed Saul: and Saul worshipped the Lord. 
\verseNumber{32}Then saide Samuel, Bring yee hither to me Agag ye King of the Amalekites: and Agag came vnto him pleasantly, and Agag saide, Truely the bitternesse of death is passed. 
\verseNumber{33}And Samuel sayde, As thy sworde hath made women childlesse, so shall thy mother bee childelesse among other women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the Lord in Gilgal. 
\verseNumber{34}So Samuel departed to Ramah, and Saul went vp to his house to Gibeah of Saul. 
\verseNumber{35}And Samuel came no more to see Saul vntill the day of his death: but Samuel mourned for Saul, and the Lord repented that hee made Saul King ouer Israel. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}The Lord then saide vnto Samuel, Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seeing I haue cast him away from reigning ouer Israel? fill thine horne with oyle and come, I will sende thee to Ishai the Bethlehemite: for I haue prouided mee a King among his sonnes. 
\verseNumber{2}And Samuel sayde, Howe can I goe? for if Saul shall heare it, he will kill me. Then the Lord answered, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to doe sacrifice to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}And call Ishai to the sacrifice, and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe, and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{4}So Samuel did that the Lord bade him, and came to Beth-lehem, and the Elders of the towne were astonied at his comming, and sayd, Commest thou peaceablie? 
\verseNumber{5}And he answeared, Yea: I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lord: sanctifie your selues, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Ishai and his sonnes, and called them to the sacrifice. 
\verseNumber{6}And when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes Anointed is before him. 
\verseNumber{7}But the Lord said vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Ishai called Abinadab, and made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lord chosen him. 
\verseNumber{10}Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of these. 
\verseNumber{11}Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither. 
\verseNumber{12}And he sent, and brought him in: and he was ruddie, and of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lord saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah. 
\verseNumber{14}But the Spirite of the Lord departed from Saul, and an euill spirite sent of the Lord vexed him. 
\verseNumber{15}And Sauls seruants said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the euill spirite of God vexeth thee. 
\verseNumber{16}Let our Lord therefore command thy seruants, that are before thee, to seeke a man that is a cunning plaier vpon the harpe: that when the euil spirit of God commeth vpon thee, hee may play with his hand, and thou maiest be eased. 
\verseNumber{17}Saul then saide vnto his seruantes, Prouide me a man, I pray you, that can play well, and bring him to me. 
\verseNumber{18}Then answered one of his seruauntes, and sayde, Beholde, I haue seene a sonne of Ishai, a Bethlehemite, that can plaie, and is strong, valiant and a man of warre and wise in matters, and a comely person, and the Lord is with him. 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Ishai, and said, Send me Dauid thy sonne which is with the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{20}And Ishai tooke an asse laden with breade and a flagon of wine and a kidde, and sent them by the hand of Dauid his sonne vnto Saul. 
\verseNumber{21}And Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him: and he loued him verie well, and he was his armour bearer. 
\verseNumber{22}And Saul sent to Ishai, saying, Let Dauid nowe remaine with me: for he hath found fauour in my sight. 
\verseNumber{23}And so when the euil spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid tooke an harpe and plaied with his hande, and Saul was refreshed, and was eased: for the euill spirit departed from him.

\chapterNumber{17}Nowe the Philistims gathered their armies to battell, and came together to Shochoh, which is in Iudah, and pitched betweene Shochoh and Azekah, in the coast of Dammim. 
\verseNumber{2}And Saul, and the men of Israel assembled, and pitched in the valley of Elah, and put themselues in battell araie to meete the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{3}And the Philistims stoode on a mountaine on the one side, and Israel stoode on a mountaine on the other side: so a valley was betweene them. 
\verseNumber{4}Then came a man betweene them both out of the tents of the Philistims, named Goliath of Gath: his height was sixe cubites and an hande breadth, 
\verseNumber{5}Aud had an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and a brigandine vpon him: and the weight of his brigandine was fiue thousand shekels of brasse. 
\verseNumber{6}And he had bootes of brasse vpon his legs, and a shield of brasse vpon his shoulders. 
\verseNumber{7}And the shaft of his speare was like a weauers beame: and his speare head weyed sixe hundreth shekels of yron: and one bearing a shielde went before him. 
\verseNumber{8}And he stoode, and cried against the hoste of Israel, and saide vnto them, Why are yee come to set your battell in aray? am not I a Philistim, and you seruaunts to Saul? chuse you a man for you, and let him come downe to me. 
\verseNumber{9}If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, then wil we be your seruants: but if I ouercome him, and kill him, then shall yee be our seruants, and serue vs. 
\verseNumber{10}Also the Philistim saide, I defie the hoste of Israel this day: giue mee a man, that we may fight together. 
\verseNumber{11}When Saul and all Israel heard those wordes of the Philistim, they were discouraged, and greatly afraide. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe this Dauid was the sonne of an Ephrathite of Beth-lehem Iudah, named Ishai, which had eight sonnes: and this man was taken for an olde man in the daies of Saul. 
\verseNumber{13}And the three eldest sonnes of Ishai went and followed Saul to the battel: and the names of his three sonnes that went to battell, were Eliab the Eldest, and the next Abinadab, and the thirde Shammah. 
\verseNumber{14}So Dauid was the least: and the three eldest went after Saul. 
\verseNumber{15}Dauid also went, but hee returned from Saul to feede his fathers sheepe in Beth-lehem. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Philistim drew neere in the morning, and euening, and continued fourtie daies. 
\verseNumber{17}And Ishai said vnto Dauid his sone, Take nowe for thy brethren an Ephah of this parched corne, and these ten cakes, and runne to the hoste to thy brethren. 
\verseNumber{18}Also carie these ten fresh cheeses vnto the captaine, and looke howe thy brethren fare, and receiue their pledge. 
\verseNumber{19}(Then Saul and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistims) 
\verseNumber{20}So Dauid rose vp earely in the morning, and left the sheepe with a keeper, and tooke and went as Ishai had commanded him, and came within the compasse of the hoste: and the hoste went out in araie, and shouted in the battell. 
\verseNumber{21}For Israel and the Philistims had put themselues in araie, armie against armie. 
\verseNumber{22}And Dauid left the things, which hee bare, vnder the handes of the keeper of the cariage, and ranne into the hoste, and came, and asked his brethren howe they did. 
\verseNumber{23}And as hee talked with them, beholde, the man that was betweene the two armies, came vp, (whose name was Goliath ye Philistim of Gath) out of the armie of the Philistims, and spake such woordes, and Dauid heard them. 
\verseNumber{24}And all the men of Israel, when they sawe the man, ranne away from him, and were sore afraied. 
\verseNumber{25}For euery man of Israel saide, Sawe yee not this man that commeth vp? euen to reuile Israel is he come vp: and to him that killeth him, wil the king giue great riches, and will giue him his daughter, yea, and make his fathers house free in Israel. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Dauid spake to the men that stoode with him, and sayde, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistim, and taketh away the shame from Israel? for who is this vncircumcised Philistim, that he shoulde reuile the hoste of the liuing God? 
\verseNumber{27}And the people answered him after this maner, saying, Thus shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 
\verseNumber{28}And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake vnto the men, and Eliab was verie angrie with Dauid, and sayde, Why camest thou downe hither? and with whome hast thou left those fewe sheepe in the wildernesse? I knowe thy pride and the malice of thine heart, that thou art come downe to see the battell. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Dauid sayde, What haue I nowe done? Is there not a cause? 
\verseNumber{30}And hee departed from him into the presence of another, and spake of the same maner, and the people answered him according to the former woordes. 
\verseNumber{31}And they that heard the wordes which Dauid spake, rehearsed them before Saul, which caused him to be brought. 
\verseNumber{32}So Dauid saide to Saul, Let no mans heart faile him, because of him: thy seruant wil goe, and fight with this Philistim. 
\verseNumber{33}And Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou art not able to goe against this Philistim to fight with him: for thou art a boye, and he is a man of warre from his youth. 
\verseNumber{34}And Dauid answered vnto Saul, Thy seruant kept his fathers sheepe, and there came a lyon, and likewise a beare, and tooke a sheepe out of the flocke, 
\verseNumber{35}And I went out after him and smote him, and tooke it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by the beard, and smote him, and slue him. 
\verseNumber{36}So thy seruaunt slue both the lyon, and the beare: therefore this vncircumcised Philistim shall be as one of them, seeing hee hath railed on the hoste of the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{37}Moreouer Dauid sayd, The Lord that deliuered me out of the pawe of the lyon, and out of the paw of the beare, he wil deliuer me out of the hand of this Philistim. Then Saul sayd vnto Dauid, Go, and the Lord be with thee. 
\verseNumber{38}And Saul put his rayment vpon Dauid, and put an helmet of brasse vpon his head, and put a brigandine vpon him. 
\verseNumber{39}Then girded Dauid his sword vpon his rayment, and began to go: for he neuer proued it: and Dauid sayde vnto Saul, I can not goe with these: for I am not accustomed. wherefore Dauid put them off him. 
\verseNumber{40}Then tooke he his staffe in his hand, and chose him fiue smoothe stones out of a brooke, and put them in his shepheards bagge or skrippe, and his sling was in his hand, and he drewe neere to the Philistim. 
\verseNumber{41}And the Philistim came and drew neere vnto Dauid, and the man that bare the shielde went before him. 
\verseNumber{42}Now when the Philistim looked about and saw Dauid, he disdeined him: for he was but yong, ruddie, and of a comely face. 
\verseNumber{43}And the Philistim sayde vnto Dauid, Am I a dog, that thou commest to me with staues? And the Philistim cursed Dauid by his gods. 
\verseNumber{44}And the Philistim sayd to Dauid, Come to me, and I will giue thy flesh vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the field. 
\verseNumber{45}Then sayd Dauid to the Philistim, Thou commest to me with a sword, and with a speare, and with a shield, but I come to thee in the Name of the Lord of hostes, the God of the hoste of Israel, whom thou hast rayled vpon. 
\verseNumber{46}This day shall the Lord close thee in mine hand, and I shall smite thee, and take thine head from thee, and I wil giue the carkeises of the hoste of the Philistims this daye vnto the foules of the heauen, and to the beasts of the earth, that all the world may know that Israel hath a God, 
\verseNumber{47}And that all this assembly may know, that the Lord saueth not with sworde nor with speare (for the battel is the Lords) and he will giue you into our handes. 
\verseNumber{48}And when the Philistim arose to come and drawe neere vnto Dauid, Dauid hasted and ran to fight against the Philistim. 
\verseNumber{49}And Dauid put his hande in his bagge, and tooke out a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistim in his forehead, that the stone sticked in his forehead, and he fell groueling to the earth. 
\verseNumber{50}So Dauid ouercame the Philistim with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistim, and slew him, when Dauid had no sword in his hand. 
\verseNumber{51}Then Dauid ranne, and stood vpon the Philistim, and tooke his sword and drew it out of his sheath, and slewe him, and cut off his head therewith. So whe the Philistims saw, that their champion was dead, they fled. 
\verseNumber{52}And the men of Israel and Iudah arose, and shouted, and followed after the Philistims, vntill they came to the valley, and vnto the gates of Ekron: and the Philistims fell downe wounded by the way of Shaaraim, euen to Gath and to Ekron. 
\verseNumber{53}And the children of Israel returned from pursuing the Philistims, and spoyled their tents. 
\verseNumber{54}And Dauid tooke the head of ye Philistim, and brought it to Ierusalem, and put his armour in his tent. 
\verseNumber{55}When Saul sawe Dauid go forth against the Philistim, he sayd vnto Abner the captaine of his hoste, Abner, whose sonne is this yong man? and Abner answered, As thy soule liueth, O King, I can not tell. 
\verseNumber{56}Then the King sayde, Enquire thou whose sonne this yong man is. 
\verseNumber{57}And when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, then Abner tooke him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistim in his hand. 
\verseNumber{58}And Saul sayde to him, Whose sonne art thou, thou yong man? And Dauid answered, I am the sonne of thy seruant Ishai the Bethlehemite.

\chapterNumber{18}And when he had made an ende of speaking vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathan was knit with the soule of Dauid, and Ionathan loued him, as his owne soule. 
\verseNumber{2}And Saul tooke him that day, and woulde not let him returne to his fathers house. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant: for he loued him as his owne soule. 
\verseNumber{4}And Ionathan put off the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle. 
\verseNumber{5}And Dauid went out whithersoeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe wisely: so that Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants. 
\verseNumber{6}When they came againe, and Dauid returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, the women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dauncing to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with instruments of ioy, and with rebeckes. 
\verseNumber{7}And the women sang by course in their play, and sayd, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayde, They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, and to me they haue ascribed but a thousand, and what can he haue more saue the kingdome? 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forward. 
\verseNumber{10}And on the morowe, the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the middes of the house: and Dauid played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a speare in Sauls hand. 
\verseNumber{11}And Saul tooke the speare, and sayd, I will smite Dauid through to the wall. But Dauid auoyded twise out of his presence. 
\verseNumber{12}And Saul was afrayd of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went out and in before the people. 
\verseNumber{14}And Dauid behaued himselfe wisely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him. 
\verseNumber{15}Wherefore when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afrayde of him. 
\verseNumber{16}For all Israel and Iudah loued Dauid, because he went out and in before them. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Saul sayd to Dauid, Beholde mine eldest daughter Merab, her I will giue thee to wife: onely be a valiant sonne vnto me, and fight the Lordes battels: for Saul thought, Mine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hand of the Philistims shalbe vpon him. 
\verseNumber{18}And Dauid answered Saul, What am I? and what is my life, or the family of my father in Israel, that I should be sonne in law to the King? 
\verseNumber{19}Howbeit when Merab Sauls daughter should haue bene giuen to Dauid, she was giuen vnto Adriel a Meholathite to wife. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Michal Sauls daughter loued Dauid: and they shewed Saul, and the thing pleased him. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore Saul said, I wil giue him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistims may bee against him. Wherefore Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou shalt this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twayne. 
\verseNumber{22}And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with Dauid secretly, and say, Behold, ye King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in law. 
\verseNumber{23}And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of Dauid. And Dauid sayd, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a poore man and of small reputation? 
\verseNumber{24}And then Sauls seruats brought him word againe, saying, Such wordes spake Dauid. 
\verseNumber{25}And Saul sayd, This wise shall ye say to Dauid, The King desireth no dowrie, but an hundred foreskinnes of the Philistims, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make Dauid fall into the handes of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{26}And when his seruantes tolde Dauid these wordes, it pleased Dauid well, to be the Kings sonne in law: and the dayes were not expired. 
\verseNumber{27}Afterwarde Dauid arose with his men, and went and slewe of the Philistims two hundreth men: and Dauid brought their foreskinnes, and they gaue them wholly to the King that hee might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Saul sawe, and vnderstoode that the Lord was with Dauid, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Saul was more and more afrayde of Dauid, and Saul became alway Dauids enemie. 
\verseNumber{30}And when the Princes of the Philistims went forth, at their going forth Dauid behaued himselfe more wisely then all the seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.

\chapterNumber{19}Then Saul spake to Ionathan his sonne, and to all his seruantes, that they shoulde kill Dauid: but Ionathan Sauls sonne had a great fauour to Dauid. 
\verseNumber{2}And Ionathan told Dauid, saying, Saul my father goeth about to slay thee: nowe therefore, I pray thee, take heede vnto thy selfe vnto the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{3}And I will go out, and stand by my father in the fielde where thou art, and will commune with my father of thee, and I will see what he sayth, and will tell thee. 
\verseNumber{4}And Ionathan spake good of Dauid vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Let not the King sinne against his seruat, against Dauid: for he hath not sinned against thee, but his works haue bene to thee very good. 
\verseNumber{5}For he did put his life in daunger, and slew the Philistim, and the Lord wrought a great saluation for al Israel: thou sawest it, and thou reioycedst: wherefore then wilt thou sinne against innocent blood, and slay Dauid without a cause? 
\verseNumber{6}Then Saul hearkened vnto the voyce of Ionathan, and Saul sware, As the Lord liueth, he shall not dye. 
\verseNumber{7}So Ionathan called Dauid, and Ionathan shewed him all those words, and Ionathan brought Dauid to Saul, and hee was in his presence as in times past. 
\verseNumber{8}Againe the warre began, and Dauid went out and fought with the Philistims, and slew them with a great slaughter, and they fled from him. 
\verseNumber{9}And the euill spirit of the Lord was vpon Saul, as hee sate in his house hauing his speare in his hand, and Dauid played with his hand. 
\verseNumber{10}And Saul intended to smite Dauid to the wall with the speare: but hee turned aside out of Sauls presence, and he smote the speare against the wall: but Dauid fled, and escaped the same night. 
\verseNumber{11}Saul also sent messengers vnto Dauids house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal Dauids wife told it him, saying, If thou saue not thy selfe this night, to morowe thou shalt be slayne. 
\verseNumber{12}So Michal let Dauid downe through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Michal tooke an image, and layde it in the bed, and put a pillow stuffed with goates heare vnder the head of it, and couered it with a cloth. 
\verseNumber{14}And when Saul sent messengers to take Dauid, she sayd, He is sicke. 
\verseNumber{15}And Saul sent the messengers againe to see Dauid, saying, Bring him to me in the bed, that I may slay him. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the messengers were come in, behold, an image was in the bed, with a pillow of goates heare vnder the head of it. 
\verseNumber{17}And Saul said vnto Michal, Why hast thou mocked me so, and sent away mine enemie, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said vnto me, Let me go, or els I will kill thee. 
\verseNumber{18}So Dauid fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him: and he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth. 
\verseNumber{19}But one tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, Dauid is at Naioth in Ramah. 
\verseNumber{20}And Saul sent messengers to take Dauid: and when they sawe a company of Prophets prophecying, and Samuel standing as appoynted ouer them, the Spirit of God fell vpon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophecied. 
\verseNumber{21}And when it was tolde Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophecied likewise: againe Saul sent the third messengers, and they prophecied also. 
\verseNumber{22}Then went he himselfe to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu, and he asked, and sayd, Where are Samuel and Dauid? and one sayd, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah. 
\verseNumber{23}And he went thither, euen to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God came vpon him also, and he went prophecying vntill hee came to Naioth in Ramah. 
\verseNumber{24}And he stript off his clothes, and he prophesied also before Samuel, and fell downe naked all that day and all that night: therefore they say, Is Saul also among the Prophets? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life? 
\verseNumber{2}And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death. 
\verseNumber{4}Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{5}And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen. 
\verseNumber{6}If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie. 
\verseNumber{7}And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him. 
\verseNumber{8}So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? 
\verseNumber{9}And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee? 
\verseNumber{10}Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly? 
\verseNumber{11}And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee, 
\verseNumber{13}The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father. 
\verseNumber{14}Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not. 
\verseNumber{15}But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth. 
\verseNumber{16}So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies. 
\verseNumber{17}And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule) 
\verseNumber{18}Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel. 
\verseNumber{20}And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke. 
\verseNumber{21}And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth. 
\verseNumber{22}But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away. 
\verseNumber{23}As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer. 
\verseNumber{24}So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate. 
\verseNumber{25}And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie. 
\verseNumber{26}And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified. 
\verseNumber{27}But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day? 
\verseNumber{28}And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem. 
\verseNumber{29}For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table. 
\verseNumber{30}Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother? 
\verseNumber{31}For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die. 
\verseNumber{32}And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done? 
\verseNumber{33}And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid. 
\verseNumber{34}So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him. 
\verseNumber{35}On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him. 
\verseNumber{36}And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him. 
\verseNumber{37}And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee? 
\verseNumber{38}And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master, 
\verseNumber{39}But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter. 
\verseNumber{40}Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie. 
\verseNumber{41}Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded. 
\verseNumber{42}Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. 
\verseNumber{43}And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}Then came Dauid to Nob, to Ahimelech the Priest, and Ahimelech was astonied at the meeting of Dauid, and saide vnto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee? 
\verseNumber{2}And Dauid saide to Ahimelech the Priest, The King hath commanded mee a certaine thing, and hath sayd vnto me, Let no man know whereabout I sende thee, and what I haue commanded thee: and I haue appointed my seruants to such and such places. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe therefore if thou hast ought vnder thine hande, giue me fiue cakes of bread, or what commeth to hand. 
\verseNumber{4}And the Priest answered Dauid, and saide, There is no common bread vnder mine hande, but here is halowed bread, if the yong men haue kept themselues, at least from women. 
\verseNumber{5}Dauid then answered the Priest, and sayde vnto him, Certainely women haue bene separarate from vs these two or three dayes since I came out: and the vessels of the yong men were holy, though the way were prophane, and how much more then shall euery one be sanctified this day in the vessell? 
\verseNumber{6}So the Priest gaue him halowed bread: for there was no bread there, saue the shewe bread that was taken from before the Lord, to put hote bread there, the day that it was taken away. 
\verseNumber{7}(And there was the same day one of the seruants of Saul abiding before the Lord, named Doeg the Edomite, the chiefest of Sauls heardmen) 
\verseNumber{8}And Dauid said vnto Ahimelech, Is there not here vnder thine hand a speare or a sworde? for I haue neither brought my sworde nor mine harnesse with me, because the Kings businesse required haste. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistim, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapt in a cloth behinde the Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other saue that here: And Dauid sayd, There is none to that, giue it me. 
\verseNumber{10}And Dauid arose and fled the same day from the presence of Saul, and went to Achish the King of Gath. 
\verseNumber{11}And the seruants of Achish said vnto him, Is not this Dauid the King of the land? did they not sing vnto him in daunces, saying, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousande? 
\verseNumber{12}And Dauid considered these wordes, and was sore afraide of Achish the King of Gath. 
\verseNumber{13}And hee changed his behauiour before them, and fayned him selfe mad in their handes, and scrabled on the doores of the gate, and let his spettel fall downe vpon his beard. 
\verseNumber{14}Then said Achish vnto his seruants, Lo, ye see the man is beside him selfe, wherefore haue ye brought him to me? 
\verseNumber{15}Haue I neede of mad men, that ye haue brought this fellowe to play the mad man in my presence? shall he come into mine house? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{22}Dauid therefore departed thence, and saued him selfe in the caue of Adullam: and when his brethren and all his fathers house heard it, they went downe thither to him. 
\verseNumber{2}And there gathered vnto him all men that were in trouble and all men that were in dette, and all those that were vexed in minde, and he was their prince, and there were with him about foure hundreth men. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid went thence to Mizpeh in Moab, and said vnto the King of Moab, I pray thee, let my father and my mother come and abide with you, till I knowe what God wil doe for me. 
\verseNumber{4}And he brought them before the King of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the while that Dauid was in the holde. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Prophet Gad sayde vnto Dauid, Abide not in the holde, but depart and goe into the land of Iudah. Then Dauid departed and came into the forest of Hareth. 
\verseNumber{6}And Saul heard that Dauid was discouered, and the men that were with him, and Saul remayned in Gibeah vnder a tree in Ramah, hauing his speare in his hande, and all his seruants stoode about him. 
\verseNumber{7}And Saul said vnto his seruants that stood about him, Heare now, ye sonnes of Iemini, wil the sonne of Ishai giue euery one of you fields and vineyardes: will he make you all captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreths: 
\verseNumber{8}That all ye haue conspired against me, and there is none that tellerh mee that my sonne hath made a couenant with the sonne of Ishai? and there is none of you that is sory for me, or sheweth mee, that my sonne hath stirred vp my seruant to lie in wayte against me, as appeareth this day? 
\verseNumber{9}Then answered Doeg the Edomite (who was appoynted ouer the seruants of Saul) and sayd, I saw the sonne of Ishai when he came to Nob, to Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitub, 
\verseNumber{10}Who asked counsell of the Lord for him and gaue him vitailes, and he gaue him also the sword of Goliath the Philistim. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the King sent to call Ahimelech the Priest the sonne of Ahitub, and all his fathers house, to wit, the Priests that were in Nob: and they came all to the King. 
\verseNumber{12}And Saul said, Heare now thou sonne of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Saul sayde vnto him, Why haue yee conspired against me, thou and the sonne of Ishai, in that thou hast giuen him vitaile, and a sworde, and hast asked counsell of God for him, that he should rise against me, and lye in wayte as appeareth this day? 
\verseNumber{14}And Ahimelech answered the King, and sayde, Who is so faithfull among all thy seruants as Dauid, being also the Kings sonne in lawe, and goeth at thy commandement, and is honourable in thine house? 
\verseNumber{15}Haue I this day first begun to aske counsell of God for him? be it farre from mee, let not the King impute any thing vnto his seruant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy seruant knew nothing of all this, lesse nor more. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the King sayd, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy fathers house. 
\verseNumber{17}And the King sayde vnto the sergeantes that stoode about him, Turne, and slay the Priestes of the Lord, because their hand also is with Dauid, and because they knewe when he fled, and shewed it not vnto mee. But the seruantes of the King would not moue their hands to fall vpon the Priests of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King sayde to Doeg, Turne thou and fall vpon the Priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and ran vpon the Priestes, and slewe that same daye foure score and fiue persons that did weare a linen Ephod. 
\verseNumber{19}Also Nob the citie of the Priestes smote he with the edge of the sword, both man and woman, both childe and suckling, both oxe and asse, and sheepe with the edge of the sword. 
\verseNumber{20}But one of the sonnes of Ahimelech the sonne of Ahitub (whose name was Abiathar) escaped and fled after Dauid.

\chapterNumber{23}Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.

\verseNumber{3}And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims? 
\verseNumber{4}Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand. 
\verseNumber{5}So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah. 
\verseNumber{6}(And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)

\verseNumber{8}Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men. 
\verseNumber{9}And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod. 
\verseNumber{10}Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake. 
\verseNumber{11}Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe. 
\verseNumber{12}Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney. 
\verseNumber{14}And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand. 
\verseNumber{15}And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood. 
\verseNumber{16}And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God, 
\verseNumber{17}And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it. 
\verseNumber{18}So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house. 
\verseNumber{19}Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon? 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee. 
\verseNumber{22}Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie. 
\verseNumber{23}See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{24}Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon. 
\verseNumber{25}Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon. 
\verseNumber{26}And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them. 
\verseNumber{27}But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land. 
\verseNumber{28}Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{24}And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi. 
\verseNumber{2}When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates. 
\verseNumber{4}And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue. 
\verseNumber{5}And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily. 
\verseNumber{6}And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment. 
\verseNumber{7}And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away. 
\verseNumber{9}Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe. 
\verseNumber{10}And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee? 
\verseNumber{11}Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted. 
\verseNumber{12}Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it. 
\verseNumber{13}The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee. 
\verseNumber{14}According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee. 
\verseNumber{15}After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea? 
\verseNumber{16}The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand. 
\verseNumber{17}Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept, 
\verseNumber{18}And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill. 
\verseNumber{19}And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not. 
\verseNumber{20}For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day. 
\verseNumber{21}For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand. 
\verseNumber{22}Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house. 
\verseNumber{23}So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{25}Then Samuel dyed, and all Israel assembled, and mourned for him, and buried him in his owne house at Ramah. And Dauid arose and went downe to the wildernes of Paran. 
\verseNumber{2}Now in Maon was a man, who had his possessio in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie and had three thousand sheepe, and a thousand goates: and he was shering his sheepe in Carmel. 
\verseNumber{3}The name also of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and she was a woman of singular wisdome, and beautifull, but the man was churlish, and euil conditioned, and was of the familie of Caleb. 
\verseNumber{4}And Dauid heard in the wildernesse, that Nabal did shere his sheepe. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore Dauid sent tenne yong men, and Dauid said vnto the yong men, Go vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and aske him in my name how he doeth. 
\verseNumber{6}And thus shall ye say for salutation, Both thou, and thine house, and all that thou hast, be in peace, wealth and prosperitie. 
\verseNumber{7}Behold, I haue heard, that thou hast sherers: now thy shepherds were with vs, and we did the no hurt, neyther did they misse any thing all the while they were in Carmel. 
\verseNumber{8}Aske thy seruants and they wil shew thee. Wherefore let these yong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) giue, I pray thee, whatsoeuer commeth to thine hand vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne Dauid. 
\verseNumber{9}And when Dauids yong men came, they tolde Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid, and helde their peace. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Nabal answered Dauids seruantes, and sayd, Who is Dauid? and who is the sonne of Ishai? there be many seruantes nowe a dayes, that breake away euery man from his master. 
\verseNumber{11}Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I haue killed for my sherers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they be? 
\verseNumber{12}So Dauids seruants turned their way, and went againe, and came, and tolde him all those things. 
\verseNumber{13}And Dauid said vnto his men, Girde euery man his sword about him. And they girded euery man his sworde: Dauid also girded his sworde. And about foure hundreth men went vp after Dauid, and two hundreth abode by the cariage. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe one of the seruantes tolde Abigail Nabals wife, saying, Beholde, Dauid sent messengers out of the wildernesse to salute our master, and he rayled on them. 
\verseNumber{15}Notwithstanding the men were very good vnto vs, and we had no displeasure, neither missed we any thing as long as we were conuersant with them, when we were in the fieldes. 
\verseNumber{16}They were as a wall vnto vs both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping sheepe. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe therefore take heede, and see what thou shalt doe: for euill will surely come vpon our master, and vpon all his familie: for he is so wicked that a man can not speake to him. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Abigail made haste, and tooke two hundreth cakes, and two bottels of wine, and fiue sheepe ready dressed, and fiue measures of parched corne, and an hundreth frailes of raisins, and two hundreth of figs, and laded them on asses. 
\verseNumber{19}Then she said vnto her seruants, Go ye before me: beholde, I will come after you: yet she tolde not her husband Nabal. 
\verseNumber{20}And as shee rode on her asse, shee came downe by a secret place of the mountaine, and beholde, Dauid and his men came downe against her, and she met them. 
\verseNumber{21}And Dauid said, In deede I haue kept all in vaine that this fellow had in the wildernesse, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained vnto him: for he hath requited me euill for good. 
\verseNumber{22}So and more also doe God vnto the enemies of Dauid: for surely I will not leaue of all that he hath, by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall. 
\verseNumber{23}And when Abigail sawe Dauid, she hasted and lighted off her asse, and fell before Dauid on her face, and bowed her selfe to the ground, 
\verseNumber{24}And fel at his feete, and sayd, Oh, my lord, I haue committed the iniquitie, and I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake to thee, and heare thou the wordes of thine handmayde. 
\verseNumber{25}Let not my lorde, I pray thee, regard this wicked man Nabal: for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and follie is with him: but I thine handmayde sawe not the yong men of my lord whom thou sentest. 
\verseNumber{26}Now therefore my lord, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth (the Lord, I say, that hath withholden thee from comming to shedde blood, and that thine hand should not saue thee) so now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, and they that intend to doe my lord euill. 
\verseNumber{27}And now, this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought vnto my lorde, let it be giuen vnto the yong men, that follow my lord. 
\verseNumber{28}I pray thee, forgiue the trespasse of thine handmaide: for the Lord will make my lorde a sure house, because my lord fighteth the battels of the Lord, and none euill hath bene found in thee in all thy life. 
\verseNumber{29}Yet a man hath risen vp to persecute thee, and to seeke thy soule, but the soule of my lorde shall be bounde in the bundel of life with the Lord thy God: and the soule of thine enemies shall God cast out, as out of the middle of a sling. 
\verseNumber{30}And when the Lord shall haue done to my lord al the good that he hath promised thee, and shall haue made thee ruler ouer Israel, 
\verseNumber{31}Then shall it be no griefe vnto thee, nor offence of minde vnto my lord, that he hath not shed blood causelesse, nor that my lorde hath not preserued him selfe: and when the Lord shall haue dealt well with my lorde, remember thine handmaide. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Dauid said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meete me. 
\verseNumber{33}And blessed be thy counsel, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from comming to shed blood, and that mine hand hath not saued me. 
\verseNumber{34}For in deede, as the Lord God of Israel liueth, who hath kept me backe from hurting thee, except thou haddest hasted and met mee, surely there had not bene left vnto Nabal by the dawning of the day, any that pisseth against the wall. 
\verseNumber{35}Then Dauid receiued of her hande that which she had brought him, and said to her, Goe vp in peace to thine house: beholde, I haue heard thy voyce, and haue graunted thy petition. 
\verseNumber{36}So Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he made a feast in his house, like the feast of a King, and Nabals heart was merie within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore shee tolde him nothing, neither lesse nor more, vntil the morning arose. 
\verseNumber{37}Then in the morning when the wine was gone out of Nabal, his wife tolde him those wordes, and his heart died within him, and he was like a stone. 
\verseNumber{38}And about ten dayes after, the Lord smote Nabal, that he dyed. 
\verseNumber{39}Now when Dauid heard, that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord that hath iudged the cause of my rebuke of ye hand of Nabal, and hath kept his seruant from euil: for the Lord hath recompensed the wickednesse of Nabal vpon his owne head. Also Dauid sent to commune with Abigail to take her to his wife. 
\verseNumber{40}And whe the seruants of Dauid were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake vnto her, saying, Dauid sent vs to thee, to take thee to his wife. 
\verseNumber{41}And she arose, and bowed her selfe on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmayde be a seruant to wash the feete of the seruants of my lord. 
\verseNumber{42}And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode vpon an asse, and her fiue maides folowed her, and she went after the messengers of Dauid, and was his wife. 
\verseNumber{43}Dauid also tooke Ahinoam of Izreel, and they were both his wiues. 
\verseNumber{44}Now Saul had giuen Michal his daughter Dauids wife to Phalti the sonne of Laish, which was of Gallim.

\chapterNumber{26}Againe the Ziphims came vnto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide him selfe in the hill of Hachilah before Ieshimon? 
\verseNumber{2}Then Saul arose, and went downe to the wildernes of Ziph, hauing three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, for to seeke Dauid in the wildernesse of Ziph. 
\verseNumber{3}And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Ieshimon by the way side. Now Dauid abode in the wildernesse, and he sawe that Saul came after him into the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{4}(For Dauid had sent out spies, and vnderstood, that Saul was come in very deede) 
\verseNumber{5}Then Dauid arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched, and when Dauid beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the sonne of Ner which was his chiefe captaine, (for Saul lay in the fort, and the people pitched round about him) 
\verseNumber{6}Then spake Dauid, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah, brother to Ioab, saying, Who will go downe with me to Saul to the hoste? Then Abishai said, I will goe downe with thee. 
\verseNumber{7}So Dauid and Abishai came downe to the people by night: and beholde, Saul lay sleeping within the fort, and his speare did sticke in the ground at his head: and Abner and the people lay round about him. 
\verseNumber{8}Then saide Abishai to Dauid, God hath closed thine enemie into thine hande this day: now therefore, I pray thee, let me smite him once with a speare to the earth, and I will not smite him againe. 
\verseNumber{9}And Dauid sayde to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can lay his hand on the Lordes anoynted, and be giltlesse? 
\verseNumber{10}Moreouer Dauid said, As the Lord liueth, eyther the Lord shall smite him, or his day shall come to dye, or he shall descend into battel, and perish. 
\verseNumber{11}The Lord keepe mee from laying mine hand vpon the Lordes anointed: but, I pray thee, take now the speare that is at his head, and the pot of water, and let vs goe hence. 
\verseNumber{12}So Dauid tooke the speare and the pot of water from Sauls head, and they gate them away, and no man saw it, nor marked it, neither did any awake, but they were all asleepe: for the Lord had sent a dead sleepe vpon them. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Dauid went vnto the other side, and stoode on the toppe of an hill a farre off, a great space being betweene them. 
\verseNumber{14}And Dauid cryed to the people, and to Abner the sonne of Ner, saying, Hearest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered, and said, Who art thou that cryest to the King? 
\verseNumber{15}And Dauid said to Abner, Art not thou a man? and who is like thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lorde the King? for there came one of the folke in to destroy the King thy lord. 
\verseNumber{16}This is not well done of thee: as the Lord liueth, ye are worthy to dye, because ye haue not kept your master the Lordes Anointed: and now see where the Kings speare is, and the pot of water that was at his head. 
\verseNumber{17}And Saul knewe Dauids voyce, and sayde, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? And Dauid sayde, It is my voyce, my lorde O King. 
\verseNumber{18}And he sayde, Wherefore doeth my lorde thus persecute his seruant? for what haue I done? or what euill is in mine hand? 
\verseNumber{19}Now therefore, I beseech thee, let my lord the King heare the wordes of his seruant. If the Lord haue stirred thee vp against me, let him smell the sauour of a sacrifice: but if the children of men haue done it, cursed be they before the Lord: for they haue cast me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Goe, serue other gods. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe therefore let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the Lord: for the King of Israel is come out to seeke a flea, as one would hunt a partridge in the mountaines. 
\verseNumber{21}Then sayde Saul, I haue sinned: come againe, my sonne Dauid: for I will doe thee no more harme, because my soule was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I haue done foolishly, and haue erred exceedingly. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Dauid answered, and saide, Beholde the Kings speare, let one of the yong men come ouer and set it. 
\verseNumber{23}And let the Lord rewarde euery man according to his righteousnesse and faithfulnesse: for the Lord had deliuered thee into mine handes this day, but I woulde not lay mine hand vpon the Lords anointed. 
\verseNumber{24}And beholde, like as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes: so let my life be set by in the eyes of the Lord, that he may deliuer me out of all tribulation.

\chapterNumber{27}And Dauid said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: is it not better for me that I saue my selfe in the lande of the Philistims, and that Saul may haue no hope of me to seeke me any more in all the coastes of Israel, and so escape out of his hand? 
\verseNumber{2}Dauid therefore arose, and he, and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went vnto Achish the sonne of Maoch King of Gath. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid dwelt with Achish at Gath, he, and his men, euery man with his housholde, Dauid with his two wiues, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite. 
\verseNumber{4}And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was fled to Gath: so he sought no more for him. 
\verseNumber{5}And Dauid saide vnto Achish, If I haue nowe founde peace in thine eyes, let them giue me a place in some other citie of the countrey, that I may dwell there: for why should thy seruant dwel in ye head citie of the kingdome with thee? 
\verseNumber{6}Then Achish gaue him Ziklag that same day: therefore Ziklag pertaineth vnto the kings of Iudah vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{7}And the time that Dauid dwelt in the countrey of the Philistims, was foure moneths and certaine dayes. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Dauid and his men went vp, and inuaded the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites: for they inhabited the lande from the beginning, from the way, as thou goest to Shur, euen vnto the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{9}And Dauid smote the lande, and left neither man nor woman aliue, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and apparell, and returned and came to Achish. 
\verseNumber{10}And Achish said, Where haue ye bene a rouing this day? And Dauid answered, Against the South of Iudah, and against the South of the Ierahmeelites, and against the South of ye Kenites. 
\verseNumber{11}And Dauid saued neither man nor woman aliue, to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tel on vs, and say, So did Dauid, and so will be his maner all the while that he dwelleth in the countrey of the Philistims.

\verseNumber{5}And when Saul saw the hoste of the Philistims, he was afraid, and his heart was sore astonied. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore Saul asked counsel of the Lord, and the Lord answered him not, neither by dreames, nor by Vrim, nor yet by Prophets. 
\verseNumber{7}Then saide Saul vnto his seruants, Seeke me a woman that hath a familiar spirite, that I may goe to her, and aske of her. And his seruants said to him, Beholde, there is a woman at En-dor that hath a familiar spirit. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Saul changed him selfe, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he saide, I pray thee, coniecture vnto me by the familiar spirite, and bring me him vp whome I shall name vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{9}And the woman saide vnto him, Beholde, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath destroyed the sorcerers, and the southsayers out of the land: wherefore then seekest thou to take me in a snare to cause me to die? 
\verseNumber{10}And Saul sware to her by the Lord, saying, As the Lord liueth, no harme shall come to thee for this thing. 
\verseNumber{11}Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring vp vnto thee? And he answered, Bring me vp Samuel. 
\verseNumber{12}And when the woman sawe Samuel, she cryed with a loude voyce, and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceiued me? for thou art Saul.

\verseNumber{14}Then he said vnto her, What facion is hee of? And she answered, An olde man commeth vp lapped in a mantel: and Saul knewe that it was Samuel, and he enclined his face to the grounde, and bowed him selfe. 
\verseNumber{15}And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me vp? Then Saul answered, I am in great distresse: for the Philistims make warre against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by Prophetes, neither by dreames: therefore I haue called thee, that thou mayest tell me, what I shall doe. 
\verseNumber{16}Then said Samuel, Wherefore then doest thou aske of me, seeing the Lord is gone from thee, and is thine enemie? 
\verseNumber{17}Euen the Lord hath done to him, as hee spake by mine hande: for the Lord will rent the kingdome out of thine hande, and giue it thy neighbour Dauid.

\verseNumber{7}And Dauid saide to Abiathar the Priest Ahimelechs sonne, I pray thee, bring me the Ephod. And Abiathar brought the Ephod to Dauid. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Dauid asked counsell at the Lord, saying, Shall I follow after this companie? shall I ouertake them? And he answered him, Followe: for thou shalt surely ouertake them, and recouer all. 
\verseNumber{9}So Dauid and the sixe hundreth men that were with him, went, and came to the riuer Besor, where a part of them abode: 
\verseNumber{10}But Dauid and foure hundreth men followed (for two hundreth abode behinde, being too wearie to goe ouer the riuer Besor) 
\verseNumber{11}And they found an Egyptian in the fielde, and brought him to Dauid, and gaue him bread and he did eat, and they gaue him water to drinke. 
\verseNumber{12}Also they gaue him a fewe figges, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirite came againe to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunke any water in three dayes, and three nightes. 
\verseNumber{13}And Dauid saide vnto him, To whome belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he saide, I am a yong man of Egypt, and seruant to an Amalekite: and my master left me three dayes agoe, because I fell sicke. 
\verseNumber{14}We roued vpon the South of Chereth, and vpon the coast belonging to Iudah, and vpon the South of Caleb, and we burnt Ziklag with fire. 
\verseNumber{15}And Dauid saide vnto him, Canst thou bring me to this companie? And he said, Sweare vnto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliuer me into the handes of my master, and I will bring thee to this companie. 
\verseNumber{16}And when he had brought him thither, beholde, they lay scattered abroade vpon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dauncing, because of all the great pray that they had taken out of the lande of the Philistims, and out of the land of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{17}And Dauid smote them from the twilight, euen vnto the euening of the next morowe, so that there escaped not a man of them, saue foure hundreth yong men, which rode vpon camels, and fled. 
\verseNumber{18}And Dauid recouered all that the Amalekites had taken: also Dauid rescued his two wiues. 
\verseNumber{19}And they lacked nothing, small or great, sonne or daughter, or of the spoyle of all that they had taken away: Dauid recouered them all. 
\verseNumber{20}Dauid also tooke all the sheepe, and the oxen, and they draue them before his cattell, and said, This is Dauids pray. 
\verseNumber{21}And Dauid came to the two hundreth men that were too wearie for to follow Dauid: whome they had made also to abide at the riuer Besor: and they came to meete Dauid, and to meete the people that were with him: so when Dauid came neere to the people, hee saluted them. 
\verseNumber{22}Then answered all the euill and wicked of the men that went with Dauid, and saide, Because they went not with vs, therefore will wee giue them none of the pray that wee haue recouered, saue to euery man his wife and his children: therefore let them carie them away and depart. 
\verseNumber{23}Then saide Dauid, Yee shall not doe so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath giuen vs, who hath preserued vs, and deliuered the companie that came against vs, into our handes. 
\verseNumber{24}For who will obey you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth downe to the battel, so shall his part be, that tarieth by the stuffe: they shall part alike. 
\verseNumber{25}So from that day forward hee made it a statute and a lawe in Israel, vntill this day. 
\verseNumber{26}When Dauid therefore came to Ziklag, he sent of the pray vnto the Elders of Iudah and to his friends, saying, See there is a blessing for you of the spoyle of the enemies of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}Hee sent to them of Beth-el, and to them of South Ramoth, and to them of Iattir, 
\verseNumber{28}And to them of Aroer, and to them of Siphmoth, and to them of Eshtemoa, 
\verseNumber{29}And to them of Rachal, and to them of the cities of the Ierahmeelites, and to them of the cities of the Kenites, 
\verseNumber{30}And to them of Hormah, and to them of Chor-ashan, and to them of Athach, 
\verseNumber{31}And to them of Hebron, and to all the places where Dauid and his men had hanted.

\chapterNumber{31}Now the Philistims fought against Israel, and the me of Israel fled away from ye Philistims, and they fell downe wounded in mount Gilboa. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Philistims preassed sore vpon Saul and his sonnes, and slewe Ionathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua Sauls sonnes. 
\verseNumber{3}And when the battel went sore against Saul, the archers and bowmen hit him, and hee was sore wounded of the archers. 
\verseNumber{4}Then saide Saul vnto his armour bearer, Drawe out thy sworde, and thrust mee through therewith, lest the vncircumcised come and thrust me through and mocke me: but his armour bearer would not, for hee was sore afraid. Therefore Saul tooke a sworde and fell vpon it. 
\verseNumber{5}And when his armour bearer sawe that Saul was dead, he fell likewise vpon his sword, and dyed with him. 
\verseNumber{6}So Saul dyed, and his three sonnes, and his armour bearer, and all his men that same day together. 
\verseNumber{7}And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they of the other side Iorden saw that the men of Israel were put to flight, and that Saul and his sonnes were dead, then they left the cities, and ran away: and the Philistims came and dwelt in them. 
\verseNumber{8}And on the morowe when the Philistims were come to spoyle them that were slaine, they founde Saul and his three sonnes lying in mount Gilboa, 
\verseNumber{9}And they cut off his head, and stripped him out of his armour, and sent into the land of ye Philistims on euery side, that they should publish it in the temple of their idoles, and among the people. 
\verseNumber{10}And they layed vp his armour in the house of Ashtaroth, but they hanged vp his body on the wall of Beth-shan. 
\verseNumber{11}When the inhabitants of Iabesh Gilead heard, what the Philistims had done to Saul, 
\verseNumber{12}Then they arose (as many as were strong men) and went all night, and tooke the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sonnes, from the wall of Beth-shan, and came to Iabesh, and burnt them there, 
\verseNumber{13}And tooke their bones and buried them vnder a tree at Iabesh, and fasted seuen dayes.

\chapterNumber{1}After the death of Saul, when Dauid was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites and had beene two dayes in Ziklag, 
\verseNumber{2}Behold, a man came the third day out of the host from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth vpon his head: and when hee came to Dauid, he fell to the earth, and did obeisance. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Dauid saide vnto him, Whence commest thou? And he said vnto him, Out of the host of Israel I am escaped. 
\verseNumber{4}And Dauid saide vnto him, What is done? I pray thee, tell me. Then he said, that the people is fled from the battel, and many of the people are ouerthrowen, and dead, and also Saul and Ionathan his sonne are dead. 
\verseNumber{5}And Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Howe knowest thou that Saul and Ionathan his sonne be dead? 
\verseNumber{6}Then the yong man that tolde him, answered, As I came to mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned vpon his speare, and loe, the charets and horsemen followed hard after him. 
\verseNumber{7}And when he looked backe, he saw me, and called me. And I answered, Here am I. 
\verseNumber{8}And he said vnto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite. 
\verseNumber{9}Then saide hee vnto me, I pray thee come vpon mee, and slay me: for anguish is come vpon me, because my life is yet whole in me. 
\verseNumber{10}So I came vpon him, and slewe him, and because I was sure that hee coulde not liue, after that hee had fallen, I tooke the crowne that was vpon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arme, and brought them hither vnto my lord. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Dauid tooke hold on his clothes, and rent them, and likewise al the men that were with him. 
\verseNumber{12}And they mourned and wept, and fasted vntil euen, for Saul and for Ionathan his sonne, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel, because they were slaine with the sword. 
\verseNumber{13}Afterward Dauid saide vnto the yong man that tolde it him, Whence art thou? And hee answered, I am the sonne of a stranger an Amalekite. 
\verseNumber{14}And Dauid said vnto him, How wast thou not afrayd, to put forth thine hand to destroy the Anoynted of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{15}Then Dauid called one of his yong men, and said, Goe neere, and fall vpon him. And hee smote him that he dyed. 
\verseNumber{16}Then said Dauid vnto him, Thy blood be vpon thine owne head: for thine owne mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I haue slaine the Lords Anoynted. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Dauid mourned with this lamentation ouer Saul, and ouer Ionathan his sonne, 
\verseNumber{18}(Also he bade them teach the children of Iudah to shoote, as it is written in the booke of Iasher) 
\verseNumber{19}O noble Israel, hee is slane vpon thy hie places: how are the mightie ouerthrowen! 
\verseNumber{20}Tell it not in Gath, nor publish it in the streetes of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistims reioyce, lest the daughters of the vncircumcised triumph. 
\verseNumber{21}Ye mountaines of Gilboa, vpon you be neither dewe nor raine, nor be there fieldes of offrings: for there the shielde of the mightie is cast downe, the shielde of Saul, as though he had not bene anointed with oyle. 
\verseNumber{22}The bow of Ionathan neuer turned backe, neither did the sword of Saul returne emptie from the blood of the slaine, and from the fatte of the mightie. 
\verseNumber{23}Saul and Ionathan were louely and pleasant in their liues, and in their deaths they were not deuided: they were swifter then eagles, they were stronger then lions. 
\verseNumber{24}Yee daughters of Israel, weepe for Saul, which clothed you in skarlet, with pleasures, and hanged ornaments of gold vpon your apparel. 
\verseNumber{25}Howe were the mightie slaine in the mids of the battel! O Ionathan, thou wast slaine in thine hie places. 
\verseNumber{26}Wo is me for thee, my brother Ionathan: very kinde hast thou bene vnto me: thy loue to me was wonderfull, passing the loue of women: howe are the mightie ouerthrowen, and the weapons of warre destroyed!

\chapterNumber{2}After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron. 
\verseNumber{2}So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul. 
\verseNumber{5}And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them. 
\verseNumber{8}But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim, 
\verseNumber{9}And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel. 
\verseNumber{10}Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid. 
\verseNumber{11}(And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths) 
\verseNumber{12}And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon. 
\verseNumber{13}And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise. 
\verseNumber{15}Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{16}And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 
\verseNumber{17}And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{18}And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe. 
\verseNumber{19}And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him. 
\verseNumber{22}And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother? 
\verseNumber{23}And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still. 
\verseNumber{24}Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon. 
\verseNumber{25}And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren? 
\verseNumber{27}And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother. 
\verseNumber{28}So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more. 
\verseNumber{29}And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim. 
\verseNumber{30}Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel. 
\verseNumber{31}But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed. 
\verseNumber{32}And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}There was then long warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid: but Dauid waxed stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker. 
\verseNumber{2}And vnto Dauid were children borne in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Amnon of Ahinoam the Izreelite, 
\verseNumber{3}And his seconde, was Chileab of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom the sonne of Maacah the daughter of Talmai the King of Geshur, 
\verseNumber{4}And the fourth, Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the sonne of Abital, 
\verseNumber{5}And the sixt, Ithream by Eglah Dauids wife: these were borne to Dauid in Hebron. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe while there was warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid, Abner made all his power for the house of Saul. 
\verseNumber{7}And Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiiah. And Ish-bosheth sayde to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in to my fathers concubine? 
\verseNumber{8}Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dogges head, which against Iudah do shew mercie this day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his neighbours, and haue not deliuered thee into the hande of Dauid, that thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman? 
\verseNumber{9}So doe God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworne to Dauid, euen so I doe to him, 
\verseNumber{10}To remoue the kingdome from the house of Saul, that the throne of Dauid may be stablished ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah, euen from Dan to Beer-sheba. 
\verseNumber{11}And he durst no more answere to Abner: for he feared him. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Abner sent messengers to Dauid on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the lande? who should also say, Make couenant with me, and beholde, mine hande shalbe with thee, to bring all Israel vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{13}Who saide, Well, I will make a couenant with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, that thou see not my face except thou bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou commest to see me. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Dauid sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliuer me my wife Michal, which I marryed for an hundreth foreskinnes of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{15}And Ish-bosheth sent, and tooke her from her husband Phaltiel the sonne of Laish. 
\verseNumber{16}And her husband went with her, and came weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurim: then saide Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So he returned. 
\verseNumber{17}And Abner had communication with the Elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for Dauid in times past, that he might be your King. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe then doe it: for the Lord hath spoken of Dauid, saying, By the hand of my seruant Dauid I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistims, and out of the handes of all their enemies. 
\verseNumber{19}Also Abner spake to Beniamin, and afterward Abner went to speake with Dauid in Hebron, concerning all that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Beniamin. 
\verseNumber{20}So Abner came to Dauid to Hebron, hauing twentie men with him, and Dauid made a feast vnto Abner, and to the men that were with him. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Abner sayde vnto Dauid, I will rise vp, and goe gather all Israel vnto my lorde the King, that they may make a couenant with thee, and that thou mayest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then Dauid let Abner depart, who went in peace. 
\verseNumber{22}And beholde, the seruants of Dauid and Ioab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with them (but Abner was not with Dauid in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace) 
\verseNumber{23}When Ioab, and all the hoste that was with him were come, men tolde Ioab, saying, Abner the sonne of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Ioab came to the King, and saide, What hast thou done? beholde, Abner came vnto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed? 
\verseNumber{25}Thou knowest Abner the sonne of Ner: for he came to deceiue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to knowe all that thou doest. 
\verseNumber{26}And when Ioab was gone out from Dauid, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him againe from the well of Siriah vnknowing to Dauid. 
\verseNumber{27}And when Abner was come againe to Hebron, Ioab tooke him aside in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and smote him vnder the fift ryb, that he dyed, for the blood of Asahel his brother. 
\verseNumber{28}And when afterwarde it came to Dauids eare, he saide, I and my kingdome are giltlesse before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the sonne of Ner. 
\verseNumber{29}Let the blood fall on the head of Ioab, and on all his fathers house, that the house of Ioab be neuer without some that haue running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staffe, or that doeth fall on the sworde, or that lacketh bread. 
\verseNumber{30}(So Ioab and Abishai his brother slewe Abner, because he had slaine their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battel) 
\verseNumber{31}And Dauid said to Ioab, and to al the people that were with him, Rent your clothes, and put on sackecloth, and mourne before Abner: and King Dauid him selfe followed the beare. 
\verseNumber{32}And when they had buryed Abner in Hebron, the King lift vp his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and all the people wept. 
\verseNumber{33}And the King lamented ouer Abner, and sayde, Dyed Abner as a foole dyeth? 
\verseNumber{34}Thine handes were not bounde, nor thy feete tyed in fetters of brasse: but as a man falleth before wicked men, so diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him. 
\verseNumber{35}Afterwarde all the people came to cause Dauid eate meate while it was yet day, but Dauid sware, saying, So doe God to me and more also, if I taste bread, or ought els till the sunne be downe. 
\verseNumber{36}And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatsoeuer the King did, pleased all the people. 
\verseNumber{37}For all the people and all Israel vnderstoode that day, howe that it was not the Kings deede that Abner the sonne of Ner was slaine. 
\verseNumber{38}And the King said vnto his seruants, Know ye not, that there is a prince and a great man falle this day in Israel? 
\verseNumber{39}And I am this day weake and newly anoynted King: and these men the sonnes of Zeruiah be too harde for me: the Lord rewarde the doer of euill according to his wickednesse. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And when Sauls sonne heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, then his handes were feeble, and all Israel was afraide, 
\verseNumber{2}And Sauls sonne had two men that were captaines of bandes: the one called Baanah, and the other called Rechab, the sonnes of Rimmon a Beerothite of the children of Beniamin. (for Beeroth was reckened to Beniamin, 
\verseNumber{3}Because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and soiourned there, vnto this day). 
\verseNumber{4}And Ionathan Sauls sonne had a sonne that was lame on his feete: he was fiue yere olde when the tydings came of Saul and Ionathan out of Israel: then his nourse tooke him, and fledde away. And as she made haste to flee, the childe fell, and beganne to halte, and his name was Mephibosheth. 
\verseNumber{5}And the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah went and came in the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth (who slept on a bed at noone) 
\verseNumber{6}And beholde, Rechab and Baanah his brother came into the middes of the house as they would haue wheate, and they smote him vnder the fift ryb, and fled. 
\verseNumber{7}For when they came into the house, he slept on his bed in his bed chamber, and they smote him, and slewe him, and beheaded him, and tooke his head, and gate them away through the plaine all the night. 
\verseNumber{8}And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth vnto Dauid to Hebron, and saide to the King, Beholde the head of Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne thine enemie, who sought after thy life: and the Lord hath auenged my lorde the King this day of Saul, and of his seede. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Dauid answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sonnes of Rimmon the Beerothite, and saide vnto them, As the Lord liueth, who hath deliuered my soule out of al aduersity, 
\verseNumber{10}When one tolde me, and sayde that Saul was dead, (thinking to haue brought good tydings) I tooke him and slewe him in Ziklag, who thought that I woulde haue giuen him a rewarde for his tidings: 
\verseNumber{11}How much more, when wicked men haue slaine a righteous person in his owne house, and vpon his bed? shall I not now therfore require his blood at your hand, and take you from the earth? 
\verseNumber{12}Then Dauid commanded his yong men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feete, and hanged them vp ouer the poole in Hebron: but they tooke the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh. 
\verseNumber{2}And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{4}Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere. 
\verseNumber{5}In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah. 
\verseNumber{6}The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither. 
\verseNumber{7}But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house. 
\verseNumber{9}So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward. 
\verseNumber{10}And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him. 
\verseNumber{11}Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake. 
\verseNumber{13}And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

\verseNumber{3}And they put the Arke of God vpon a newe cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah. And Vzzah and Ahio the sonnes of Abinadab did driue the newe carte.

\verseNumber{21}Then Dauid sayd vnto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me rather then thy father, and all his house, and commanded me to bee ruler ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel: and therefore will I play before the Lord,

\verseNumber{4}And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?

\verseNumber{17}According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid. 
\verseNumber{18}Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

\verseNumber{24}For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde. 
\verseNumber{26}And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.

\verseNumber{4}Now there came a stranger vnto the rich man, who refused to take of his owne sheepe, and of his owne oxen to dresse for the stranger that was come vnto him, but tooke the poore mans sheepe, and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Dauid was exceeding wroth with the man, and sayde to Nathan, As the Lord liueth, the man that hath done this thing, shall surely dye, 
\verseNumber{6}And he shall restore the lambe foure folde, because he did this thing, and had no pitie thereof. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Nathan sayd to Dauid, Thou art the man. Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I anoynted thee King ouer Israel, and deliuered thee out of the hand of Saul, 
\verseNumber{8}And gaue thee thy lordes house, and thy lords wiues into thy bosome, and gaue thee the house of Israel, and of Iudah, and would moreouer (if that had bene too litle) haue giuen thee such and such things. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore hast thou despised the commandement of the Lord, to doe euill in his sight? thou hast killed Vriah the Hittite with ye sworde, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slaine him with the sworde of the children of Ammon. 
\verseNumber{10}Now therefore the sworde shall neuer depart from thine house, because thou hast despised me, and taken the wife of Vriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 
\verseNumber{11}Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I will rayse vp euil against thee out of thine owne house, and will take thy wiues before thine eyes, and giue them vnto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wiues in the sight of this sunne.

\verseNumber{14}Howbeit because by this deede thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the childe that is borne vnto thee shall surely die. 
\verseNumber{15}So Nathan departed vnto his house: and the Lord stroke the childe that Vriahs wife bare vnto Dauid, and it was sicke. 
\verseNumber{16}Dauid therefore besought God for the childe, and fasted and went in, and lay all night vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{17}Then the Elders of his house arose to come vnto him, and to cause him to rise from the groud: but he would not, neither did he eate meate with them. 
\verseNumber{18}So on the seuenth day the child dyed: and the seruants of Dauid feared to tell him that the childe was dead: for they sayde, Beholde, while the childe was aliue, we spake vnto him, and he woulde not hearken vnto our voyce: how then shall we say vnto him, The childe is dead, to vexe him more? 
\verseNumber{19}But when Dauid sawe that his seruantes whispered, Dauid perceiued that the childe was dead: therefore Dauid sayde vnto his seruants, Is the childe dead? And they sayd, He is dead. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Dauid arose from the earth, and washed and anoynted himselfe, and changed his apparell, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped, and afterward came to his owne house, and bade that they should set bread before him, and he did eate. 
\verseNumber{21}Then saide his seruants vnto him, What thing is this, that thou hast done? thou diddest fast and weepe for the childe while it was aliue, but when the childe was dead, thou diddest rise vp, and eate meate. 
\verseNumber{22}And he sayde, While the childe was yet aliue, I fasted, and wept: for I sayde, Who can tell whether God will haue mercy on me, that the childe may liue? 
\verseNumber{23}But now being dead, wherefore shoulde I now fast? Can I bring him againe any more? I shall goe to him, but he shall not returne to me. 
\verseNumber{24}And Dauid comforted Bath-sheba his wife, and went in vnto her, and lay with her, and she bare a sonne, and he called his name Salomon: also the Lord loued him. 
\verseNumber{25}For the Lord had sent by Nathan the Prophet: therefore he called his name Iedidiah, because the Lord loued him. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Ioab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and tooke the citie of the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{27}Therefore Ioab sent messengers to Dauid, saying, I haue fought against Rabbah, and haue taken the citie of waters. 
\verseNumber{28}Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and besiege the city, that thou mayest take it, lest the victorie be attributed to me. 
\verseNumber{29}So Dauid gathered al the people together, and went against Rabbah, and besieged it, and tooke it. 
\verseNumber{30}And he tooke their Kings crowne from his head, (which weighed a talent of golde, with precious stones) and it was set on Dauids head: and he brought away the spoyle of the citie in exceeding great abundance. 
\verseNumber{31}And he carryed away the people that was therein, and put them vnder sawes, and vnder yron harowes, and vnder axes of yron, and cast them into the tyle kylne: euen thus did he with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people returned vnto Ierusalem.

\chapterNumber{13}Now after this so it was, that Absalom the sonne of Dauid hauing a fayre sister, whose name was Tamar, Amnon the sonne of Dauid loued her. 
\verseNumber{2}And Amnon was so sore vexed, that he fell sicke for his sister Tamar: for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to doe any thing to her. 
\verseNumber{3}But Amnon had a friend called Ionadab, the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother: and Ionadab was a very subtile man. 
\verseNumber{4}Who sayde vnto him, Why art thou the Kings sonne so leane from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? Then Amnon answered him, I loue Tamar my brother Absaloms sister. 
\verseNumber{5}And Ionadab sayd vnto him, Lie downe on thy bed, and make thy selfe sicke: and when thy father shall come to see thee, say vnto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and giue me meate, and let her dresse meate in my sight, that I may see it, and eate it of her hand. 
\verseNumber{6}So Amnon lay downe, and made himselfe sicke: and when the King came to see him, Amnon sayde vnto the King, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may receiue meate at her hand. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Dauid sent home to Tamar, saying, Goe now to thy brother Amnons house, and dresse him meate. 
\verseNumber{8}So Tamar went to her brother Amnons house, and he lay downe: and she tooke floure, and knead it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes. 
\verseNumber{9}And she tooke a pan, and powred them out before him, but he would not eat. Then Amnon saide, Cause ye euery man to goe out from me: so euery man went out from him. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Amnon said vnto Tamar, Bring the meate into the chamber, that I may eate of thine hand. And Tamar tooke the cakes which shee had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 
\verseNumber{11}And when she had set them before him to eate, he tooke her, and sayd vnto her, Come, lye with me, my sister. 
\verseNumber{12}But shee answered him, Nay, my brother, doe not force me: for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: commit not this follie. 
\verseNumber{13}And I, whither shall I cause my shame to goe? and thou shalt be as one of the fooles in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, speake to the King, for he will not denie me vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{14}Howbeit he would not hearken vnto her voyce, but being stronger then she, forced her, and lay with her. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred wherewith he hated her, was greater then the loue, wherewith hee had loued her: and Amnon sayde vnto her, Vp, get thee hence. 
\verseNumber{16}And she answered him, There is no cause: this euill (to put mee away) is greater then the other that thou diddest vnto me: but he would not heare her, 
\verseNumber{17}But called his seruant that serued him, and sayd, Put this woman now out from me, and locke the doore after her. 
\verseNumber{18}(And she had a garment of diuers coulours vpon her: for with such garments were the Kings daughters that were virgins, apparelled) Then his seruant brought her out, and locked the doore after her. 
\verseNumber{19}And Tamar put ashes on her head and rent the garment of diuers colours which was on her, and layde her hand on her head, and went her way crying. 
\verseNumber{20}And Absalom her brother sayd vnto her, Hath Amnon thy brother bene with thee? Now yet be still, my sister: he is thy brother: let not this thing grieue thine heart. So Tamar remayned desolate in her brother Absaloms house. 
\verseNumber{21}But when King Dauid heard all these things, he was very wroth. 
\verseNumber{22}And Absalom sayde vnto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar. 
\verseNumber{23}And after the time of two yeeres, Absalom had sheepesherers in Baal-hazor, which is beside Ephraim, and Absalom called all the Kings sonnes. 
\verseNumber{24}And Absalom came to the King and sayd, Beholde now, thy seruant hath sheepesherers: I pray thee, that the King with his seruants would goe with thy seruant. 
\verseNumber{25}But the King answered Absalom, Nay my sonne, I pray thee, let vs not goe all, lest we be chargeable vnto thee. Yet Absalom lay sore vpon him: howbeit he would not go, but thanked him. 
\verseNumber{26}Then sayd Absalom, But, I pray thee, shall not my brother Amnon goe with vs? And the king answered him, Why should he go with thee? 
\verseNumber{27}But Absalom was instant vpon him, and he sent Amnon with him, and all the Kings children. 
\verseNumber{28}Now had Absalom commanded his seruants, saying, Marke now when Amnons heart is merry with wine, and when I say vnto you, Smite Amnon, kill him, feare not, for haue not I commanded you? be bold therefore, and play the men. 
\verseNumber{29}And the seruantes of Absalom did vnto Amnon, as Absalom had commanded: and al the Kings sonnes arose, and euery man gate him vp vpon his mule, and fled. 
\verseNumber{30}And while they were in the way, tydings came to Dauid, saying, Absalom hath slaine al the Kings sonnes, and there is not one of them left. 
\verseNumber{31}Then the King arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the ground, and all his seruants stoode by with their clothes rent. 
\verseNumber{32}And Ionadab the sonne of Shimeah Dauids brother answered and sayde, Let not my lord suppose that they haue slayne all the yong men the Kings sonnes: for Amnon onely is dead, because Absalom had reported so, since hee forced his sister Tamar. 
\verseNumber{33}Nowe therefore let not my lord the King take the thing so grieuously, to thinke that all ye Kings sonnes are dead: for Amnon only is dead. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Absalom fled: and the yong man that kept the watch, lift vp his eyes, and looked, and behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behinde him. 
\verseNumber{35}And Ionadab said vnto the King, Behold, ye Kings sonnes come: as thy seruant sayd, so it is. 
\verseNumber{36}And assoone as hee had left speaking, behold, the Kings sonnes came, and lift vp their voyces, and wept: and the King also and all his seruants wept exceedingly sore. 
\verseNumber{37}But Absalom fled away, and went to Talmai the sonne of Ammihur King of Geshur: and Dauid mourned for his sonne euery day. 
\verseNumber{38}So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three yeeres. 
\verseNumber{39}And King Dauid desired to go forth vnto Absalom, because he was pacified concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{14}Then Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah perceyued, that the Kings heart was toward Absalom, 
\verseNumber{2}And Ioab sent to Tekoah, and brought thence a subtile woman, and sayd vnto her, I pray thee, fayne thy selfe to mourne, and nowe put on mourning apparel, and anoynt not thy selfe with oyle: but be as a woman that had now long time mourned for the dead. 
\verseNumber{3}And come to the King, and speake on this maner vnto him, (for Ioab taught her what she should say). 
\verseNumber{4}Then the woman of Tekoah spake vnto the king, and fel downe on her face to the ground, and did obeysance, and sayd, Helpe, O King. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the King sayd vnto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am in deede a widow, and mine husband is dead: 
\verseNumber{6}And thine handmayd had two sonnes, and they two stroue together in the fielde: (and there was none to part them) so the one smote the other, and slew him. 
\verseNumber{7}And beholde, the whole familie is risen against thine handmayde, and they sayde, Deliuer him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the soule of his brother whome hee slewe, that we may destroy the heire also: so they shall quenche my sparkle which is left, and shall not leaue to mine husband neither name nor posteritie vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{8}And the King said vnto the woman, Go to thine house, and I wil giue a charge for thee. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the woman of Tekoah said vnto the King, My lord, O King, this trespas be on me, and on my fathers house, and the King and his throne be giltlesse. 
\verseNumber{10}And the King sayde, Bring him to me that speaketh against thee, and he shall touche thee no more. 
\verseNumber{11}Then said she, I pray thee, let the King remember the Lord thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer many reuengers of blood to destroy, lest they slay my sonne. And he answered, As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of thy sonne fall to the earth. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the woman said, I pray thee, let thine handmayde speake a worde to my lord the King. And he sayd, Say on. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the woman sayde, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? or why doeth the King, as one which is faultie, speake this thing, that he will not bring againe his banished? 
\verseNumber{14}For we must needes dye, and we are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered vp againe: neither doeth God spare any person, yet doeth he appoynt meanes, not to cast out from him, him that is expelled. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe therefore that I am come to speake of this thing vnto my lord the King, the cause is that the people haue made me afrayd: therefore thine handmayde sayd, Nowe will I speake vnto the King: it may be that the King will perfourme the request of his handmayde. 
\verseNumber{16}For the King wil heare, to deliuer his handmayde out of the hande of the man that woulde destroy mee, and also my sonne from the inheritance of God. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore thine handmaid sayd, The word of my lord the King shall now be comfortable: for my lorde the King is euen as an Angel of God in hearing of good and bad: therefore the Lord thy God be with thee. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King answered, and said vnto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall aske thee. And the woman sayde, Let my lord the King now speake. 
\verseNumber{19}And the King said, Is not the hand of Ioab with thee in all this? Then the woman answered, and sayd, As thy soule liueth, my lord the King, I will not turne to the right hande nor to the left, from ought that my lorde the King hath spoken: for euen thy seruant Ioab bade mee, and he put all these wordes in the mouth of thine handmayde. 
\verseNumber{20}For to the intent that I should chage the forme of speach, thy seruant Ioab hath done this thing: but my lord is wise according to the wisdome of an Angel of God to vnderstande all things that are in the earth. 
\verseNumber{21}And the King sayde vnto Ioab, Beholde nowe, I haue done this thing: go then, and bring the yong man Absalom againe. 
\verseNumber{22}And Ioab fell to the grounde on his face, and bowed himselfe, and thanked the King. Then Ioab sayde, This day thy seruant knoweth, that I haue found grace in thy sight, my lord the King, in that the King hath fulfilled the request of his seruant. 
\verseNumber{23}And Ioab arose, and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{24}And the King sayde, Let him turne to his owne house, and not see my face. So Absalom turned to his owne house, and saw not the Kings face. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe in all Israel there was none to be so much praysed for beautie as Absalom: from the sole of his foote euen to the toppe of his head there was no blemish in him. 
\verseNumber{26}And when he polled his head, (for at euery yeeres ende he polled it: because it was too heauie for him, therefore he polled it) he weyghed the heare of his head at two hundreth shekels by the Kings weight. 
\verseNumber{27}And Absalom had three sonnes, and one daughter named Tamar, which was a fayre woman to looke vpon. 
\verseNumber{28}So Absalom dwelt the space of two yeres in Ierusalem, and saw not the Kings face. 
\verseNumber{29}Therefore Absalom sent for Ioab to sende him to the King, but he would not come to him: and when he sent againe, he would not come. 
\verseNumber{30}Therefore he sayde vnto his seruants, Beholde, Ioab hath a fielde by my place, and hath barley therein: go, and set it on fire: and Absaloms seruants set the field on fire. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Ioab arose, and came to Absalom vnto his house, and sayd vnto him, Wherefore haue thy seruants burnt my field with fire? 
\verseNumber{32}And Absalom answered Ioab, Beholde, I sent for thee, saying, Come thou hither, and I wil send thee to the King for to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? It had bene better for me to haue bene there still: nowe therefore let mee see the Kings face: and if there be any trespasse in me, let him kill me. 
\verseNumber{33}Then Ioab came to the King, and told him: and he called for Absalom, who came to the King, and bowed himselfe to the grounde on his face before the King, and the King kissed Absalom. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{15}After this, Absalom prepared him charets and horses, and fiftie men to runne before him. 
\verseNumber{2}And Absalom rose vp early, and stoode hard by the entring in of the gate: and euery man that had any matter, and came to the King for iudgement, him did Absalom call vnto him, and sayde, Of what citie art thou? And he answered, Thy seruant is of one of the tribes of Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Absalom said vnto him, See, thy matters are good and righteous, but there is no man deputed of the King to heare thee. 
\verseNumber{4}Absalom sayd moreouer, Oh that I were made Iudge in the lande, that euery man which hath any matter of controuersie, might come to me, that I might do him iustice. 
\verseNumber{5}And when any man came neere to him, and did him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and tooke him, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{6}And on this maner did Absalom to al Israel, that came to the King for iudgement: so Absalom stale the hearts of the men of Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}And after fourtie yeeres, Absalom sayd vnto the King, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron, and render my vowe which I haue vowed vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}For thy seruant vowed a vowe when I remayned at Geshur, in Aram, saying, If the Lord shall bring me againe in deede to Ierusalem, I will serue the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}And the King sayd vnto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Absalom sent spyes throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When yee heare the sound of the trumpet, Ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron. 
\verseNumber{11}And with Absalom went two hundreth men out of Ierusalem, that were called: and they went in their simplicitie, knowing nothing. 
\verseNumber{12}Also Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite Dauids counseller, from his citie Giloh, while he offred sacrifices: and the treason was great: for the people encreased still with Absalom. 
\verseNumber{13}Then came a messenger to Dauid, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are turned after Absalom. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Dauid sayd vnto all his seruants that were with him at Ierusalem, Vp, and let vs flee: for we shall not escape from Absalom: make speede to depart, lest he come suddenly and take vs, and bring euill vpon vs, and smite the citie with the edge of the sworde. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Kings seruants sayd vnto him, Behold, thy seruants are ready to do according to all that my lord the King shall appoynt. 
\verseNumber{16}So the King departed and all his houshold after him, and the King left ten concubines to keepe the house. 
\verseNumber{17}And the King went forth and all the people after him, and taried in a place farre off. 
\verseNumber{18}And all his seruants went about him, and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, euen sixe hudreth men which were come after him from Gath, went before the King. 
\verseNumber{19}Then sayde the King to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore commest thou also with vs? Returne aud abide with the King, for thou art a stranger: depart thou therefore to thy place. 
\verseNumber{20}Thou camest yesterday, and should I cause thee to wander to day and go with vs? I will goe whither I can: therefore returne thou and cary againe thy brethren: mercy and trueth be with thee. 
\verseNumber{21}And Ittai answered the King, and sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as my lord the King liueth, in what place my lord the King shalbe, whether in death or life, euen there surely will thy seruant bee. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Dauid sayd to Ittai, Come, and go forward. And Ittai the Gittite went, and all his men, and all the children that were with him. 
\verseNumber{23}And all the countrey wept with a loude voyce, and all the people went forward, but the King passed ouer the brooke Kidron: and all the people went ouer toward the way of ye wildernes. 
\verseNumber{24}And lo, Zadok also was there, and all the Leuites with him, bearing the Arke of the couenant of God: and they set downe the Arke of God, and Abiathar went vp vntill the people were all come out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{25}Then the King said vnto Zadok, Carie the Arke of God againe into the citie: if I shall finde fauour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me againe, and shewe me both it, and the Tabernacle thereof. 
\verseNumber{26}But if he thus say, I haue no delite in thee, behold, here am I, let him doe to me as seemeth good in his eyes. 
\verseNumber{27}The King sayde againe vnto Zadok the Priest, Art not thou a Seer? returne into the citie in peace, and your two sonnes with you: to wit, Ahimaaz thy sonne, and Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar. 
\verseNumber{28}Behold, I wil tarie in the fieldes of the wildernesse, vntill there come some worde from you to be tolde me. 
\verseNumber{29}Zadok therefore and Abiathar caried the Arke of God againe to Ierusalem, and they taried there. 
\verseNumber{30}And Dauid went vp the mount of oliues and wept as he went vp, and had his head couered, and went barefooted: and al the people that was with him, had euery man his head couered, and as they went vp, they wept. 
\verseNumber{31}Then one tolde Dauid, saying, Ahithophel is one of them that haue cospired with Absalom: and Dauid sayde, O Lord, I pray thee, turne the counsell of Ahithophel into foolishnesse. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Dauid came to the toppe of the mount where he worshipped God: and beholde, Hushai the Archite came against him with his coate torne, and hauing earth vpon his head. 
\verseNumber{33}Vnto whom Dauid sayd, If thou goe with me, thou shalt be a burthen vnto me. 
\verseNumber{34}But if thou returne to the citie, and say vnto Absalom, I wil be thy seruant, O King, (as I haue bene in time past thy fathers seruant, so will I now be thy seruant) then thou mayest bring me the counsell of Ahithophel to nought. 
\verseNumber{35}And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the Priests? therefore what so euer thou shalt heare out of the Kings house, thou shalt shew to Zadok and Abiathar the Priests. 
\verseNumber{36}Beholde, there are with them their two sonnes: Ahimaaz Zadoks sonne, and Ionathan Abiathars sonne: by them also shall ye send me euery thing that ye can heare. 
\verseNumber{37}So Hushai Dauids friend went into the citie: and Absalom came into Ierusalem. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}When Dauid was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the seruant of Mephibosheth mette him with a couple of asses sadled, and vpon them two hundreth cakes of bread, and an hundreth bunches of raisins, and an hundreth of dryed figges, and a bottel of wine. 
\verseNumber{2}And the King said vnto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, They be asses for the kings housholde to ride on, and bread and dryed figges for the yong men to eate, and wine, that the faint may drinke in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{3}And the king sayde, But where is thy masters sonne? Then Ziba answered the King, Beholde, he remayneth in Ierusalem: for he sayde, This day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdome of my father. 
\verseNumber{4}Then said the King to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that perteined vnto Mephibosheth. And Ziba saide, I beseech thee, let me finde grace in thy sight, my lord, O King. 
\verseNumber{5}And when king Dauid came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the familie of the house of Saul, named Shimei the sonne of Gera: and he came out, and cursed. 
\verseNumber{6}And he cast stones at Dauid, and at all the seruants of King Dauid: and all the people, and all the men of warre were on his right hande, and on his left. 
\verseNumber{7}And thus sayde Shimei when hee cursed, Come forth, come foorth thou murtherer, and wicked man. 
\verseNumber{8}The Lord hath brought vpon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned: and the Lord hath deliuered thy kingdome into the hand of Absalom thy sonne: and beholde, thou art taken in thy wickednesse, because thou art a murtherer. 
\verseNumber{9}Then saide Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah vnto the King, Why doeth this dead dog curse my lord the King? let me goe, I pray thee, and take away his head. 
\verseNumber{10}But the King saide, What haue I to doe with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah? for he curseth, eue because the Lord hath bidden him curse Dauid: who dare then say, Wherfore hast thou done so? 
\verseNumber{11}And Dauid sayd to Abishai, and to all his seruants, Beholde, my sonne which came out of mine owne bowels, seeketh my life: then howe much more now may this sonne of Iemini? Suffer him to curse: for the Lord hath bidden him. 
\verseNumber{12}It may be that the Lord will looke on mine affliction, and doe me good for his cursing this day. 
\verseNumber{13}And as Dauid and his men went by the way, Shimei went by the side of the mountaine ouer against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones against him, and cast dust. 
\verseNumber{14}Then came the King and all the people that were with him wearie, and refreshed them selues there. 
\verseNumber{15}And Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Ierusalem, and Ahithophel with him. 
\verseNumber{16}And when Hushai the Archite Dauids friend was come vnto Absalom, Hushai said vnto Absalom, God saue the King, God saue the King. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Absalom sayd to Hushai, Is this thy kindenes to thy friend? Why wentest thou not with thy friend? 
\verseNumber{18}Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, Nay, but whome the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel chuse, his will I be, and with him will I dwell. 
\verseNumber{19}And moreouer vnto whome shall I doe seruice? not to his sonne? as I serued before thy father, so will I before thee. 
\verseNumber{20}Then spake Absalom to Ahithophel, Giue counsell what we shall doe. 
\verseNumber{21}And Ahithophel said vnto Absalom, Goe in to thy fathers concubines, which he hath left to keepe the house: and when all Israel shall heare, that thou art abhorred of thy father, the hands of all that are with thee, shall be strong. 
\verseNumber{22}So they spread Absalom a tent vpon the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his fathers concubines in the sight of all Israel. 
\verseNumber{23}And the counsell of Ahithophel which he counseled in those dayes, was like as one had asked counsell at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with Dauid and with Absalom. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{17}Moreouer Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me chuse out now twelue thousand men, and I will vp and follow after Dauid this night, 
\verseNumber{2}And I will come vpon him: for he is wearie, and weake handed: so I will feare him, and all the people that are with him, shall flee, and I will smite the King onely, 
\verseNumber{3}And I will bring againe all the people vnto thee, and when all shall returne, (the man whome thou seekest being slaine) all the people shalbe in peace. 
\verseNumber{4}And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the Elders of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let vs heare likewise what he sayth. 
\verseNumber{6}So when Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom spake vnto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken thus: shall we doe after his saying, or no? tell thou. 
\verseNumber{7}Hushai then answered vnto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath giuen, is not good at this time. 
\verseNumber{8}For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father, and his men, that they be strong men, and are chafed in minde as a beare robbed of her whelps in the fielde: also thy father is a valiant warrier, and will not lodge with the people. 
\verseNumber{9}Behold, he is hid now in some caue, or in some place: and though some of them be ouerthrowen at the first, yet the people shall heare, and say, The people that follow Absalom, be ouerthrowen. 
\verseNumber{10}Then he also that is valiant whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall shrinke and faint: for all Israel knoweth, that thy father is valiant, and they which be with him, stout men. 
\verseNumber{11}Therefore my counsell is, that all Israel be gathered vnto thee, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba as the sand of the sea in nomber, and that thou goe to battell in thine owne person. 
\verseNumber{12}So shall we come vpon him in some place, where we shall finde him, and we will vpon him as the dewe falleth on the ground: and of all the men that are with him, wee will not leaue him one. 
\verseNumber{13}Moreouer if he be gotten into a citie, then shall all the men of Israel bring ropes to that citie, and we will draw it into the riuer, vntill there be not one small stone founde there. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Absalom and all the men of Israel sayde, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better, then the counsell of Ahithophel: for the Lord had determined to destroy the good counsell of Ahithophel, that the Lord might bring euill vpon Absalom. 
\verseNumber{15}Then said Hushai vnto Zadok and to Abiathar the Priests, Of this and that maner did Ahithophel and the Elders of Israel counsell Absalom: and thus and thus haue I counseled. 
\verseNumber{16}Now therefore sende quickely, and shewe Dauid, saying, Tarie not this night in the fieldes of the wildernesse, but rather get thee ouer, lest the King be deuoured and all the people that are with him. 
\verseNumber{17}Now Ionathan and Ahimaaz abode by En-rogel: (for they might not be seene to come into the citie) and a maid went, and tolde them, and they went and shewed King Dauid. 
\verseNumber{18}Neuerthelesse a yong man sawe them, and tolde it to Absalom. therefore they both departed quickely, and came to a mans house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court, into the which they went downe. 
\verseNumber{19}And the wife tooke and spred a couering ouer the welles mouth, and spred ground corne thereon, that the thing should not be knowen. 
\verseNumber{20}And when Absaloms seruants came to the wife into the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Ionathan? And the woman answered them, They be gone ouer the brooke of water. And when they had sought them, and could not finde them, they returned to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{21}And assoone as they were departed, the other came out of the well, and went and tolde King Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Vp, and get you quickely ouer the water: for such counsell hath Ahithophel giuen against you. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Dauid arose, and all the people that were with him, and they went ouer Iorden vntil the dawning of the day, so that there lacked not one of them, that was not come ouer Iorden. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe when Ahithophel sawe that his counsell was not followed, he sadled his asse, and arose, and he went home vnto his citie, and put his houshold in order, and hanged him selfe, and dyed, and was buryed in his fathers graue. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Dauid came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed ouer Iorden, he, and all the men of Israel with him. 
\verseNumber{25}And Absalom made Amasa captaine of the hoste in the stead of Ioab: which Amasa was a mans sonne named Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Ioabs mother. 
\verseNumber{26}So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead. 
\verseNumber{27}And when Dauid was come to Mahanaim, Shobi the sonne of Nahash out of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the sonne of Ammiel out of Lo-debar, and Barzelai the Gileadite out of Rogel 
\verseNumber{28}Brought beds, and basens, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and floure, and parched corne, and beanes, and lentiles, and parched corne. 
\verseNumber{29}And they brought hony, and butter, and sheepe, and cheese of kine for Dauid and for the people that were with him, to eate: for they said, The people is hungry, and wearie, and thirstie in the wildernesse. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{18}Then Dauid numbred the people that were with him, and set ouer them captaines of thousands and captaines of hundreths. 
\verseNumber{2}And Dauid sent foorth the third part of the people vnder the hand of Ioab, and the thirde part vnder the hand of Abishai Ioabs brother the sonne of Zeruiah: and the other third part vnder the hand of Ittai the Gittite. and the King said vnto the people, I will go with you my selfe also. 
\verseNumber{3}But the people answered, Thou shalt not goe foorth: for if we flee away, they will not regarde vs, neither will they passe for vs, though halfe of vs were slaine: but thou art now worth ten thousande of vs: therefore nowe it is better that thou succour vs out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the King said vnto them, What seemeth you best, that I will doe. So the King stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreths and by thousands. 
\verseNumber{5}And the King commanded Ioab and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Entreate the yong man Absalom gently for my sake. and all the people heard whe the King gaue al the captaines charge concerning Absalom. 
\verseNumber{6}So the people went out into the fielde to meete Israel, and the battell was in the wood of Ephraim: 
\verseNumber{7}Where the people of Israel were slaine before the seruants of Dauid: so there was a great slaughter that day, euen of twentie thousande. 
\verseNumber{8}For the battel was skattered ouer all the countrey: and the wood deuoured much more people that day, then did the sworde. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe Absalom met the seruants of Dauid, and Absalom rode vpon a mule, and the mule came vnder a great thicke oke: and his head caught holde of the oke, and he was taken vp betweene the heauen and the earth: and the mule that was vnder him went away. 
\verseNumber{10}And one that sawe it, tolde Ioab, saying, Beholde, I sawe Absalom hanged in an oke. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Ioab saide vnto the man that tolde him, And hast thou in deede seene? why then diddest thou not there smite him to the grounde, and I woulde haue giuen thee ten shekels of siluer, and a girdle? 
\verseNumber{12}Then the man saide vnto Ioab, Though I should receiue a thousande shekels of siluer in mine hande, yet woulde I not lay mine hande vpon the Kings sonne: for in our hearing the King charged thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Beware, least any touche the yong man Absalom. 
\verseNumber{13}If I had done it, it had bene the danger of my life: for nothing can be hid from the King: yea, thou thy selfe wouldest haue bin against me. 
\verseNumber{14}Then saide Ioab, I will not thus tary with thee. And he tooke three dartes in his hande, and thrust them through Absalom, while he was yet aliue in the middes of the oke. 
\verseNumber{15}And tenne seruants that bare Ioabs armour, compassed about and smote Absalom, and slewe him. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Ioab blewe the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Ioab helde backe the people. 
\verseNumber{17}And they tooke Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and layed a mightie great heape of stones vpon him: and all Israel fled euery one to his tent. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe Absalom in his life time had taken and reared him vp a pillar, which is in the kings dale: for he saide, I haue no sonne to keepe my name in remembrance. and he called the pillar after his owne name, and it is called vnto this day, Absaloms place. 
\verseNumber{19}Then said Ahimaaz the sonne of Zadok, I pray thee, let me runne, and beare the King tidings that the Lord hath deliuered him out of the hande of his enemies. 
\verseNumber{20}And Ioab said vnto him, Thou shalt not be the messenger to day, but thou shalt beare tidings another time, but to day thou shalt beare none: for the Kings sonne is dead. 
\verseNumber{21}Then said Ioab to Cushi, Goe, tel the king, what thou hast seene. And Cushi bowed himselfe vnto Ioab, and ran. 
\verseNumber{22}Then saide Ahimaaz the sonne of Zadok againe to Ioab, What, I pray thee, if I also runne after Cushi? And Ioab said, Wherefore now wilt thou runne, my sonne, seeing that thou hast no tidings to bring? 
\verseNumber{23}Yet what if I runne? Then he saide vnto him, Runne. So Ahimaaz ranne by the way of the plaine, and ouerwent Cushi. 
\verseNumber{24}Now Dauid sate betweene the two gates. And the watchman went to the top of the gate vpon the wall, and lift vp his eyes, and sawe, and beholde, a man came running alone. 
\verseNumber{25}And the watchman cryed, and tolde ye king. And the King said, If he be alone, he bringeth tidings. And he came apace, and drew neere. 
\verseNumber{26}And the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called vnto the porter, and said, Behold, another man runneth alone. And the King said, He also bringeth tidings. 
\verseNumber{27}And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the formost is like the running of Ahimaaz the sonne of Zadok. Then the King said, He is a good man, and commeth with good tidings. 
\verseNumber{28}And Ahimaaz called, and sayde vnto the King, Peace be with thee: and he fell downe to the earth vpon his face before the King, and saide, Blessed be the Lord thy God, who hath shut vp the men that lift vp their handes against my lorde the King. 
\verseNumber{29}And the King saide, Is the yong man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Ioab sent the Kings seruant, and me thy seruant, I sawe a great tumult, but I knewe not what. 
\verseNumber{30}And the King said vnto him, Turne aside, and stand here. so he turned aside and stoode still. 
\verseNumber{31}And beholde, Cushi came, and Cushi saide, Tidings, my lorde the King: for the Lord hath deliuered thee this day out of the hande of all that rose against thee. 
\verseNumber{32}Then the King saide vnto Cushi, Is the yong man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lorde the King, and all that rise against thee to doe thee hurt, be as that yong man is. 
\verseNumber{33}And the King was mooued, and went vp to the chamber ouer the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my sonne Absalom, my sonne, my sonne Absalom: woulde God I had dyed for thee, O Absalom, my sonne, my sonne. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{19}And it was tolde Ioab, Behold, the King weepeth and mourneth for Absalom. 
\verseNumber{2}Therefore the victorie of that day was turned into mourning to all the people: for the people heard say that day, The King soroweth for his sonne. 
\verseNumber{3}And the people went that day into the citie secretly, as people confounded hide them selues when they flee in battell. 
\verseNumber{4}So the King hid his face, and the King cryed with a loude voyce, My sonne Absalom, Absalom my sonne, my sonne. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Ioab came into the house to the King, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy seruants, which this day haue saued thy life and the liues of thy sones, and of thy daughters, and the liues of thy wiues, and the liues of thy concubines, 
\verseNumber{6}In that thou louest thine enemies, and hatest thy friendes: for thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither thy princes nor seruants: therefore this day I perceiue, that if Absalom had liued, and we all had dyed this day, that then it would haue pleased thee well. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe therefore vp, come out, and speake comfortably vnto thy seruants: for I sweare by the Lord, except thou come out, there will not tarie one man with thee this night: and that wil be worse vnto thee, then all the euill that fell on thee from thy youth hitherto. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the King arose, and sate in the gate: and they tolde vnto all the people, saying, Beholde, the King doeth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the King: for Israel had fled euery man to his tent. 
\verseNumber{9}Then all the people were at strife thorowout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The King saued vs out of the hand of our enemies, and he deliuered vs out of the hande of the Philistims, and nowe he is fled out of the lande for Absalom. 
\verseNumber{10}And Absalom, whome we anoynted ouer vs, is dead in battel: therefore why are ye so slow to bring the King againe? 
\verseNumber{11}But King Dauid sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the Priestes, saying, Speake vnto the Elders of Iudah, and say, Why are ye behind to bring the King againe to his house, (for the saying of al Israel is come vnto the king, euen to his house) 
\verseNumber{12}Ye are my brethren: my bones and my flesh are ye: wherefore then are ye the last that bring the King againe? 
\verseNumber{13}Also say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captaine of the hoste to me for euer in the roume of Ioab. 
\verseNumber{14}So he bowed the heartes of all the men of Iudah, as of one man: therefore they sent to the King, saying, Returne thou with all thy seruants. 
\verseNumber{15}So the King returned, and came to Iorden. And Iudah came to Gilgal, for to goe to meete the King, and to conduct him ouer Iorde. 
\verseNumber{16}And Shimei the sonne of Gera, ye sonne of Iemini, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Iudah to meete king Dauid, 
\verseNumber{17}And a thousande men of Beniamin with him, and Ziba the seruant of the house of Saul, and his fifteene sonnes and twentie seruants with him: and they went ouer Iorden before ye king. 
\verseNumber{18}And there went ouer a boate to carie ouer the Kings houshold, and to do him pleasure. Then Shimei the sonne of Gera fell before the King, when he was come ouer Iorden, 
\verseNumber{19}And saide vnto the King, Let not my lorde impute wickednesse vnto me, nor remember ye thing that thy seruant did wickedly when my lorde the King departed out of Ierusalem, that the King should take it to his heart. 
\verseNumber{20}For thy seruant doeth knowe, that I haue done amisse: therefore beholde, I am the first this day of al the house of Ioseph, that am come to goe downe to meete my lord the King. 
\verseNumber{21}But Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah answered, and said, Shal not Shimei die for this, because he cursed the Lordes anoynted? 
\verseNumber{22}And Dauid saide, What haue I to do with you, ye sonnes of Zeruiah, that this day ye should be aduersaries vnto me? shall there any man die this day in Israel? for doe not I know that I am this day King ouer Israel? 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore the King saide vnto Shimei, Thou shalt not die, and the king sware vnto him. 
\verseNumber{24}And Mephibosheth the sonne of Saul came downe to meete the king, and had neither washed his feete, nor dressed his beard, nor washed his clothes from the time the king departed, vntill he returned in peace. 
\verseNumber{25}And when he was come to Ierusalem, and met the king, the king said vnto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth? 
\verseNumber{26}And he answered, My lorde the king, my seruant deceiued me: for thy seruant said, I would haue mine asse sadled to ride thereon, for to goe with the king, because thy seruant is lame. 
\verseNumber{27}And he hath accused thy seruant vnto my lorde the king: but my lorde the king is as an Angel of God: doe therefore thy pleasure. 
\verseNumber{28}For all my fathers house were but dead men before my lord the king, yet diddest thou set thy seruant among them that did eate at thine owne table: what right therefore haue I yet to crye any more vnto the king? 
\verseNumber{29}And the king said vnto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I haue said, Thou, and Ziba deuide the landes. 
\verseNumber{30}And Mephibosheth saide vnto the king, Yea, let him take all, seeing my lorde the king is come home in peace. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Barzillai the Gileadite came downe from Rogelim, and went ouer Iorden with the king, to conduct him ouer Iorden. 
\verseNumber{32}Nowe Barzillai was a very aged man, euen fourescore yeere olde, and he had prouided the king of sustenance, while he lay at Mahanaim: for he was a man of very great substance. 
\verseNumber{33}And the king said vnto Barzillai, Come ouer with me, and I will feede thee with me in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{34}And Barzillai said vnto the king, Howe long haue I to liue, that I should goe vp with the king to Ierusalem? 
\verseNumber{35}I am this day fourescore yeere olde: and can I discerne betweene good or euill? Hath thy seruant any taste in that I eat or in that I drinke? Can I heare any more the voyce of singing men and women? wherefore then should thy seruant be anymore a burthen vnto my lord the king? 
\verseNumber{36}Thy seruant will goe a litle way ouer Iorden with the King, and why wil the king recompence it me with such a rewarde? 
\verseNumber{37}I pray thee, let thy seruant turne backe againe, that I may die in mine owne citie, and be buryed in the graue of my father and of my mother: but beholde thy seruant Chimham, let him goe with my lorde the king, and doe to him what shall please thee. 
\verseNumber{38}And the king answered, Chimham shall go with me, and I will do to him that thou shalt be content with: and whatsoeuer thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee. 
\verseNumber{39}So all the people went ouer Iorden: and the King passed ouer: and the King kissed Barzillai, and blessed him, and hee returned vnto his owne place. 
\verseNumber{40}Then the King went to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him, and all the people of Iudah conducted the King, and also halfe ye people of Israel. 
\verseNumber{41}And behold, all the men of Israel came to the King, and sayd vnto the King, Why haue our brethren the men of Iudah stollen thee away, and haue brought the King and his houshold, and all Dauids men with him ouer Iorden? 
\verseNumber{42}And all the men of Iudah answered the men of Israel, Because the King is neere of kin to vs: and wherefore now be ye angry for this matter? haue we eaten of the Kings cost, or haue wee taken any bribes? 
\verseNumber{43}And the men of Israel answered the men of Iudah, and saide, Wee haue ten partes in the King, and haue also more right to Dauid then ye: Why then did ye despise vs, that our aduise should not bee first had in restoring our King? And the wordes of the men of Iudah were fiercer then the wordes of the men of Israel.

\chapterNumber{20}Then there was come thither a wicked man (named Sheba the sonne of Bichri, a man of Iemini) and hee blew the trumpet, and saide, Wee haue no part in Dauid, neither haue we inheritance in the sonne of Ishai: euery man to his tents, O Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}So euery man of Israel went from Dauid and followed Sheba the sonne of Bichri: but the men of Iudah claue fast vnto their King, from Iorden euen to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{3}When Dauid then came to his house to Ierusalem, the King tooke the ten women his concubines, that hee had left behinde him to keepe the house, and put them in warde, and fed them, but lay no more with them: but they were enclosed vnto the day of their death, liuing in widowhode.

\verseNumber{6}Then Dauid sayd to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the sonne of Bichri doe vs more harme then did Absalom: take thou therefore thy lords seruants and follow after him, lest he get him walled cities, and escape vs. 
\verseNumber{7}And there went out after him Ioabs men, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mightie men: and they departed out of Ierusalem, to follow after Sheba the sonne of Bichri.

\verseNumber{10}But Amasa tooke no heede to the sworde that was in Ioabs hande: for therewith he smote him in the fift rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and smote him not the second time: so he dyed. then Ioab and Abishai his brother followed after Sheba the sonne of Bichri. 
\verseNumber{11}And one of Ioabs men stoode by him, and saide, He that fauoureth Ioab, and hee that is of Dauids part, let him go after Ioab. 
\verseNumber{12}And Amasa wallowed in blood in the mids of the way: and when the man sawe that all the people stood still, he remooued Amasa out of the way into the fielde, and cast a cloth vpon him, because he saw that euery one that came by him, stoode still.

\verseNumber{14}And he went through all the tribes of Israel vnto Abel, and Bethmaachah and all places of Berim: and they gathered together, and went also after him. 
\verseNumber{15}So they came, and besieged him in Abel, neere to Bethmaachah: and they cast vp a mount against the citie, and the people thereof stood on the ramper, and al the people that was with Ioab, destroyed and cast downe the wall.

\verseNumber{17}And when hee came neere vnto her, the woman said, Art thou Ioab? And he answered, Yea. And she said to him, Heare the wordes of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do heare. 
\verseNumber{18}Then shee spake thus, They spake in the olde time, saying, They shoulde aske of Abel. and so haue they continued. 
\verseNumber{19}I am one of them, that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: and thou goest about to destroy a citie, and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou deuoure the inheritance of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{20}And Ioab answered, and said, God forbid, God forbid it me, that I should deuoure, or destroy it. 
\verseNumber{21}The matter is not so, but a man of mout Ephraim (Sheba ye sonne of Bichri by name) hath lift vp his had against ye King, euen against Dauid: deliuer vs him onely, and I will depart from the citie. And the woman saide vnto Ioab, Beholde, his head shalbe throwen to thee ouer the wall.

\verseNumber{3}And Dauid said vnto the Gibeonites, What shall I doe for you, and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may blesse the inheritance of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{4}The Gibeonites then answered him, Wee will haue no siluer nor golde of Saul nor of his house, neither for vs shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I doe for you.

\verseNumber{14}The Lord thundred from heauen, and the most hie gaue his voyce. 
\verseNumber{15}He shot arrowes also, and scattered them: to wit, lightning, and destroyed them. 
\verseNumber{16}The chanels also of the sea appeared, euen the foundations of the worlde were discouered by the rebuking of the Lord, and at the blast of the breath of his nostrels. 
\verseNumber{17}He sent from aboue, and tooke me: hee drewe me out of many waters. 
\verseNumber{18}He deliuered me from my strong enemie, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 
\verseNumber{19}They preuented me in the day of my calamitie, but the Lord was my stay, 
\verseNumber{20}And brought me foorth into a large place: he deliuered me, because he fauoured me. 
\verseNumber{21}The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse: according to the purenesse of mine handes he recompensed me. 
\verseNumber{22}For I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God. 
\verseNumber{23}For all his lawes were before me, and his statutes: I did not depart therefrom. 
\verseNumber{24}I was vpright also towarde him, and haue kept me from my wickednesse. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore the Lord did reward me according to my righteousnesse, according to my purenesse before his eyes. 
\verseNumber{26}With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright. 
\verseNumber{27}With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the frowarde thou wilt shew thy selfe frowarde. 
\verseNumber{28}Thus thou wilt saue the poore people: but thine eyes are vpon the hautie to humble them. 
\verseNumber{29}Surely thou art my light, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkenes. 
\verseNumber{30}For by thee haue I broken through an hoste, and by my God haue I leaped ouer a wall. 
\verseNumber{31}The way of God is vncorrupt: the word of the Lord is tryed in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him. 
\verseNumber{32}For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie, saue our God? 
\verseNumber{33}God is my strength in battel, and maketh my way vpright. 
\verseNumber{34}He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and hath set me vpon mine hie places. 
\verseNumber{35}He teacheth mine handes to fight, so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes. 
\verseNumber{36}Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy louing kindnesse hath caused me to increase. 
\verseNumber{37}Thou hast inlarged my steppes vnder me, and mine heeles haue not slid. 
\verseNumber{38}I haue pursued mine enemies and destroyed them, and haue not turned againe vntill I had consumed them. 
\verseNumber{39}Yea, I haue consumed them and thrust them through, and they shall not arise, but shall fall vnder my feete. 
\verseNumber{40}For thou hast girded me with power to battell, and them that arose against me, hast thou subdued vnder me. 
\verseNumber{41}And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 
\verseNumber{42}They looked about, but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but he answered them not. 
\verseNumber{43}Then did I beate them as small as the dust of the earth: I did treade them flat as the clay of the streete, and did spread them abroad. 
\verseNumber{44}Thou hast also deliuered me from the contentions of my people: thou hast preserued me to be the head ouer nations: the people which I knewe not, doe serue me. 
\verseNumber{45}Strangers shalbe in subiection to me: assoone as they heare, they shall obey me. 
\verseNumber{46}Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers. 
\verseNumber{47}Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength: and God, euen the force of my saluation be exalted. 
\verseNumber{48}It is God that giueth me power to reuenge me, and subdue the people vnder me, 
\verseNumber{49}And rescueth me from mine enemies: (thou also hast lift me vp from them that rose against me, thou hast deliuered me from the cruell man. 
\verseNumber{50}Therefore I will praise thee, O Lord amog the nations, and will sing vnto thy Name) 
\verseNumber{51}He is the tower of saluation for his King, and sheweth mercie to his anointed, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.

\chapterNumber{23}These also be the last wordes of Dauid, Dauid the sonne of Ishai saith, euen the man who was set vp on hie, the Anointed of the God of Iacob, and the sweete singer of Israel saith, 
\verseNumber{2}The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue. 
\verseNumber{3}The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God. 
\verseNumber{4}Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine. 
\verseNumber{5}For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so. 
\verseNumber{6}But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes. 
\verseNumber{7}But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place. 
\verseNumber{8}These be the names of the mightie men whome Dauid had. He that sate in the seate of wisedome, being chiefe of the princes, was Adino of Ezni, he slewe eight hundreth at one time. 
\verseNumber{9}And after him was Eleazar the sonne of Dodo, the sonne of Ahohi, one of the three worthies with Dauid, when they defied the Philistims gathered there to battel, when the men of Israel were gone vp.

\verseNumber{16}The the three mightie brake into the host of the Philistims, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem that was by the gate, and tooke and brought it to Dauid, who woulde not drinke thereof, but powred it for an offring vnto ye Lord, 
\verseNumber{17}And said, O Lord, be it farre from me, that I should doe this. Is not this the blood of the men that went in ieopardie of their liues? therefore he woulde not drinke it. These things did these three mightie men.

\verseNumber{23}He was honourable among thirtie, but he atteined not to the first three: and Dauid made him of his counsell.

\chapterNumber{24}And the wrath of the Lord was againe kindled against Israel, and he moued Dauid against them, in that he saide, Goe, number Israel and Iudah. 
\verseNumber{2}For the King said to Ioab the captaine of the hoste, which was with him, Goe speedily now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan euen to Beer-sheba, and nomber ye the people, that I may knowe the nomber of the people. 
\verseNumber{3}And Ioab saide vnto the King, The Lord thy God increase the people an hundreth folde more then they be, and that the eyes of my lorde the King may see it: but why doeth my lord the King desire this thing? 
\verseNumber{4}Notwithstanding the Kings worde preuailed against Ioab and against the captaines of the hoste: therefore Ioab and the captaines of the hoste went out from the presence of the King to nomber the people of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And they passed ouer Iorden, and pitched in Aroer at the right side of the citie that is in the middes of the valley of Gad and toward Iazer. 
\verseNumber{6}Then they came to Gilead, and to Tahtim-hodshi, so they came to Dan Iaan, and so about to Zidon, 
\verseNumber{7}And came to the fortresse of Tyrus and to all the cities of the Hiuites and of the Canaanites, and went towarde the South of Iudah, euen to Beer-sheba. 
\verseNumber{8}So when they had gone about all the lande, they returned to Ierusalem at the ende of nine moneths and twentie dayes. 
\verseNumber{9}And Ioab deliuered the nomber and summe of the people vnto the King: and there were in Israel eight hundreth thousande strong men that drewe swordes, and the men of Iudah were fiue hundreth thousand men. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Dauids heart smote him, after that he had numbred the people: and Dauid said vnto the Lord, I haue sinned exceedingly in that I haue done: therefore nowe, Lord, I beseech thee, take away the trespasse of thy seruant: for I haue done very foolishly. 
\verseNumber{11}And when Dauid was vp in the morning, the worde of the Lord came vnto the Prophet Gad Dauids Seer, saying, 
\verseNumber{12}Go, and say vnto Dauid, Thus saith ye Lord, I offer thee three thinges, chuse thee which of them I shall doe vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{13}So Gad came to Dauid, and shewed him, and said vnto him, Wilt thou that seuen yeeres famine come vpon thee in thy lande, or wilt thou flee three moneths before thine enemies, they following thee, or that there bee three dayes pestilence in thy land? nowe aduise thee, and see, what answere I shall giue to him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{14}And Dauid said vnto Gad, I am in a wonderfull strait: let vs fall nowe into the hand of the Lord, (for his mercies are great) and let mee not fall into the hand of man. 
\verseNumber{15}So the Lord sent a pestilece in Israel, from the morning euen to the time appointed: and there dyed of the people from Dan euen to Beer-sheba seuentie thousand men. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the Angel stretched out his hande vpon Ierusalem to destroy it, the Lord repented of the euil, and said to the Angel that destroyed the people, It is sufficient, holde nowe thine hand. And the Angel of the Lord was by the threshing place of Araunah the Iebusite. 
\verseNumber{17}And Dauid spake vnto the Lord (when he sawe the Angel that smote the people) and saide, Behold, I haue sinned, yea, I haue done wickedly: but these sheepe, what haue they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against mee and against my fathers house. 
\verseNumber{18}So Gad came the same day to Dauid, and said vnto him, Go vp, reare an altar vnto the Lord in the threshing floore of Araunah the Iebusite. 
\verseNumber{19}And Dauid (according to the saying of Gad) went vp, as the Lord had commanded. 
\verseNumber{20}And Araunah looked, and sawe the King and his seruants comming towarde him, and Araunah went out, and bowed himselfe before the King on his face to the ground, 
\verseNumber{21}And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the King come to his seruant? Then Dauid answered, To bye the threshing floore of thee for to builde an altar vnto the Lord, that the plague may cease from the people. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Araunah saide vnto Dauid, Let my lord the King take and offer what seemeth him good in his eyes: beholde the oxen for the burnt offring, and charets, and the instruments of the oxen for wood. 
\verseNumber{23}(All these things did Araunah as a King giue vnto the King: and Araunah saide vnto the King, The Lord thy God be fauourable vnto thee) 
\verseNumber{24}Then the King saide vnto Araunah, Not so, but I will bye it of thee at a price, and will not offer burnt offring vnto ye Lord my God of that which doeth cost me nothing. So Dauid bought the threshing floore, and the oxen for fiftie shekels of siluer. 
\verseNumber{25}And Dauid built there an altar vnto the Lord, and offred burnt offrings and peace offrings, and the Lord was appeased toward ye lande, and the plague ceased from Israel.

\chapterNumber{1}Now when King Dauid was olde, and striken in yeeres, they couered him with clothes, but no heate came vnto him. 
\verseNumber{2}Wherefore his seruants saide vnto him, Let there be sought for my lord ye King a yong virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosome, that my lord the King may get heate. 
\verseNumber{3}So they sought for a faire young maide thoroughout all the coastes of Israel, and founde one Abishag a Shunamite, and brought her to the king. 
\verseNumber{4}And the maid was exceeding faire, and cherished the king, and ministred to him, but the King knew her not. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith exalted himselfe, saying, I will be king. And he gate him charets and horsemen, and fiftie men to run before him. 
\verseNumber{6}And his father would not displease him from his childehood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And hee was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next after Absalom. 
\verseNumber{7}And he tooke counsel of Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they helped forward Adoniiah. 
\verseNumber{8}But Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the men of might, which were with Dauid, were not with Adoniiah. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Adoniiah sacrificed sheepe and oxen, and fat cattel by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the kings sonnes, and al the men of Iudah ye Kings seruants, 
\verseNumber{10}But Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah, and the mightie men, and Salomon his brother hee called not. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord knoweth it not? 
\verseNumber{12}Now therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon. 
\verseNumber{13}Go, and get thee in vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King? 
\verseNumber{14}Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes. 
\verseNumber{15}So Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King. 
\verseNumber{16}And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter? 
\verseNumber{17}And shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne. 
\verseNumber{18}And beholde, nowe is Adoniiah king, and now, my lord, O King, thou knowest it not. 
\verseNumber{19}And he hath offred many oxen, and fatte cattel, and sheepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste: but Salomon thy seruant hath he not bidden. 
\verseNumber{20}And thou, my lorde, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who shoulde sit on the throne of my lord the King after him. 
\verseNumber{21}For els when my lord the King shall sleepe with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shalbe reputed vile. 
\verseNumber{22}And lo, while she yet talked with the King, Nathan also the Prophet came in. 
\verseNumber{23}And they tolde the King, saying, Beholde, Nathan the Prophet. And when he was come in to the King, hee made obeisance before the King vpon his face to the ground. 
\verseNumber{24}And Nathan saide, My lorde, O King, hast thou said, Adoniiah shall reigne after mee, and he shall sit vpon my throne? 
\verseNumber{25}For hee is gone downe this day, and hath slaine many oxen, and fat cattel, and sheepe, and hath called al the Kings sonnes, and the captaines of the hoste, and Abiathar the Priest: and behold, they eate and drinke before him, and say, God saue King Adoniiah. 
\verseNumber{26}But me thy seruant, and Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and thy seruant Salomon hath he not called. 
\verseNumber{27}Is this thing done by my lord the King, and thou hast not shewed it vnto thy seruant, who should sitte on the throne of my lorde the King after him? 
\verseNumber{28}Then King Dauid answered, and saide, Call me Bath-sheba. And shee came into ye Kings presence, and stoode before the King. 
\verseNumber{29}And the King sware, saying, As the Lord liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie, 
\verseNumber{30}That as I sware vnto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and hee shall sit vpon my throne in my place, so will I certainely doe this day. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Bath-sheba bowed her face to the earth, and did reuerence vnto the King, and said, God saue my lord King Dauid for euer. 
\verseNumber{32}And King Dauid saide, Call mee Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada. And they came before the King. 
\verseNumber{33}Then the King said vnto them, Take with you the seruants of your lorde, and cause Salomon my sonne to ride vpon mine owne mule, and carie him downe to Gihon. 
\verseNumber{34}And let Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet anoint him there King ouer Israel, and blowe ye the trumpet, and say, God saue king Salomon. 
\verseNumber{35}Then come vp after him, that hee may come and sit vpon my throne: and hee shall bee King in my steade: for I haue appointed him to be prince ouer Israel and ouer Iudah. 
\verseNumber{36}Then Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada answered the King, and said, So be it, and the Lord God of my lord the King ratifie it. 
\verseNumber{37}As the Lord hath bene with my lorde the King, so be he with Salomon, and exalt his throne aboue the throne of my lorde king Dauid. 
\verseNumber{38}So Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went downe and caused Salomon to ride vpon king Dauids mule, and brought him to Gihon. 
\verseNumber{39}And Zadok the Priest tooke an horne of oyle out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Salomon: and they blewe the trumpet, and all the people said, God saue king Salomon. 
\verseNumber{40}And all the people came vp after him, and the people piped with pipes, and reioyced with great ioye, so that the earth rang with the sound of them. 
\verseNumber{41}And Adoniiah and all the ghestes that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an ende of eating) and when Ioab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and vprore in the citie? 
\verseNumber{42}And as he yet spake, beholde, Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adoniiah said, Come in: for thou art a worthie man, and bringest good tidings. 
\verseNumber{43}And Ionathan answered, and said to Adoniiah, Verely our lord King Dauid hath made Salomon King. 
\verseNumber{44}And the King hath sent with him Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they haue caused him to ride vpon the Kings mule. 
\verseNumber{45}And Zadok the Priest, and Nathan ye Prophet haue anointed him King in Gihon: and they are gone vp from thence with ioy, and the citie is moued: this is the noise that ye haue heard. 
\verseNumber{46}And Salomon also sitteth on the throne of the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{47}And moreouer the Kings seruantes came to blesse our lord King Dauid, saying, God make the name of Salomon more famous then thy name, and exalt his throne aboue thy throne: therefore the King worshipped vpon the bed. 
\verseNumber{48}And thus sayd the King also, Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, who hath made one to sit on my throne this day, euen in my sight. 
\verseNumber{49}Then all the ghestes that were with Adonijah, were afraide, and rose vp, and went euery man his way. 
\verseNumber{50}And Adonijah fearing the presence of Salomon, arose and went, and tooke holde on the hornes of the altar. 
\verseNumber{51}And one tolde Salomon, saying, Beholde, Adonijah doeth feare King Salomon: for lo, he hath caught holde on the hornes of the altar, saying, Let King Salomon sweare vnto me this day, that he will not slay his seruant with the sword. 
\verseNumber{52}Then Salomon sayd, If he will shewe him selfe a worthy man, there shall not an heare of him fall to the earth, but if wickednes be found in him, he shall dye. 
\verseNumber{53}Then King Salomon sent, and they brought him from the altar, and he came and did obeisance vnto King Salomon. And Salomon sayde vnto him, Go to thine house. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Then the dayes of Dauid drewe neere that he should die, and hee charged Salomon his sonne, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}I go the way of all the earth: be strong therefore, and shew thy selfe a man, 
\verseNumber{3}And take heede to the charge of the Lord thy God, to walke in his wayes, and keepe his statutes, and his commandements, and his iudgements, and his testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and in euery thing whereunto thou turnest thee, 
\verseNumber{4}That the Lord may confirme his worde which hee spake vnto me, saying, If thy sonnes take heede to their way, that they walke before me in trueth, with all their hearts, and with all their soules, thou shalt not (sayd he) want one of thy posteritie vpon the throne of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}Thou knowest also what Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captaines of the hostes of Israel, vnto Abner the sonne of Ner, and vnto Amasa the sonne of Iether: whome he slewe, and shed blood of battell in peace, and put the blood of warre vpon his girdle that was about his loynes, and in his shooes that were on his feete. 
\verseNumber{6}Doe therefore according to thy wisdome, and let thou not his hoare head go downe to the graue in peace. 
\verseNumber{7}But shew kindnes vnto the sonnes of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be among them that eate at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother. 
\verseNumber{8}And beholde, with thee is Shimei the sonne of Gera, the sonne of Iemini, of Bahurim, which cursed mee with an horrible curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but hee came downe to meete me at Iorden, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not slay thee with the sword. 
\verseNumber{9}But thou shalt not count him innocent: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to doe vnto him: therefore thou shalt cause his hoare head to goe downe to the graue with blood. 
\verseNumber{10}So Dauid slept with his fathers, and was buried in the citie of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{11}And the dayes which Dauid reigned vpon Israel, were fourtie yeeres: seuen yeeres reigned he in Hebron, and thirtie and three yeeres reigned he in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{12}Then sate Salomon vpon the throne of Dauid his father, and his kingdome was stablished mightily. 
\verseNumber{13}And Adonijah the sonne of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon: and she saide, Commest thou peaceably? And hee said, Yea. 
\verseNumber{14}He said moreouer, I haue a sute vnto thee. And she sayd, Say on. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he said, Thou knowest that the kingdome was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reigne: howbeit the kingdome is turned away, and is my brothers: for it came to him by the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}Nowe therefore I aske thee one request, refuse me not. And she said vnto him, Say on. 
\verseNumber{17}And he sayd, Speake, I pray thee, vnto Salomon ye King, (for he will not say thee nay) that he giue me Abishag the Shunammite to wife. 
\verseNumber{18}And Bath-sheba sayd, Well, I will speake for thee vnto the King. 
\verseNumber{19}Bath-sheba therefore went vnto King Salomon, to speake vnto him for Adonijah: and the King rose to meete her, and bowed himselfe vnto her, and sate downe on his throne: and he caused a seate to be set for the Kings mother, and she sate at his right hand. 
\verseNumber{20}Then she sayd, I desire a small request of thee, say me not nay. Then the King sayde vnto her, Aske on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay. 
\verseNumber{21}She sayd then, Let Abishag the Shunammite be giuen to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 
\verseNumber{22}But King Salomon answered and sayd vnto his mother, And why doest thou aske Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? aske for him the kingdome also: for he is mine elder brother, and hath for him both Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah. 
\verseNumber{23}Then King Salomon sware by the Lord, saying, God doe so to me and more also, if Adoniiah hath not spoken this worde against his owne life. 
\verseNumber{24}Now therefore as ye Lord liueth, who hath established me, and set me on the throne of Dauid my father, who also hath made me an house, as he promised, Adoniiah shall surely die this day. 
\verseNumber{25}And King Salomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and hee smote him that he dyed. 
\verseNumber{26}Then the King sayd vnto Abiathar the Priest, Go to Anathoth vnto thine owne fieldes: for thou art worthy of death: but I will not this day kill thee, because thou barest the Arke of the Lord God before Dauid my father, and because thou hast suffered in all, wherein my father hath bene afflicted. 
\verseNumber{27}So Salomon cast out Abiathar from being Priest vnto the Lord, that he might fulfill the wordes of the Lord, which he spake against the house of Eli in Shiloh. 
\verseNumber{28}Then tidings came to Ioab: (for Ioab had turned after Adoniiah, but he turned not after Absalom) and Ioab fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the hornes of the altar. 
\verseNumber{29}And it was tolde king Salomon, that Ioab was fled vnto the Tabernacle of the Lord, and beholde, he is by the altar. Then Salomon sent Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, saying, Goe, fall vpon him. 
\verseNumber{30}And Benaiah came to the Tabernacle of the Lord, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the King, Come out. And he sayde, Nay, but I will die here. Then Benaiah brought the King worde againe, saying, Thus sayd Ioab, and thus he answered me. 
\verseNumber{31}And the King sayde vnto him, Doe as he hath sayd, and smite him, and bury him, that thou mayest take away the blood, which Ioab shed causelesse, from me and from the house of my father. 
\verseNumber{32}And the Lord shall bring his blood vpon his owne head: for he smote two men more righteous and better then he, and slew them with the sword, and my father Dauid knew not: to wit, Abner the sonne of Ner, captaine of the hoste of Israel, and Amasa the sonne of Iether captaine of the hoste of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{33}Their blood shall therefore returne vpon the head of Ioab, and on the head of his seede for euer: but vpon Dauid, and vpon his seede, and vpon his house, and vpon his throne shall there be peace for euer from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{34}So Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada went vp, and smote him, and slewe him, and he was buryed in his owne house in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{35}And the King put Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada in his roume ouer the hoste: and the King set Zadok the Priest in the roume of Abiathar. 
\verseNumber{36}Afterwarde the King sent, and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Buylde thee an house in Ierusalem, and dwell there, and depart not thence any whither. 
\verseNumber{37}For that day that thou goest out, and passest ouer the riuer of Kidron, knowe assuredly, that thou shalt dye the death: thy blood shall be vpon thine owne head. 
\verseNumber{38}And Shimei sayd vnto the King, The thing is good: as my lord the King hath sayd, so wil thy seruant doe. So Shimei dwelt in Ierusalem many dayes. 
\verseNumber{39}And after three yeres two of the seruants of Shimei fled away vnto Achish sonne of Maachah King of Gath: and they tolde Shimei, saying, Behold, thy seruants be in Gath. 
\verseNumber{40}And Shimei arose, and sadled his asse, and went to Gath to Achish, to seeke his seruantes: and Shimei went, and brought his seruants from Gath. 
\verseNumber{41}And it was tolde Salomon, that Shimei had gone from Ierusalem to Gath, and was come againe. 
\verseNumber{42}And the King sent and called Shimei, and sayde vnto him, Did I not make thee to sweare by the Lord, and protested vnto thee, saying, That day that thou goest out, and walkest any whither, knowe assuredly that thou shalt dye the death? And thou saydest vnto mee, The thing is good, that I haue heard. 
\verseNumber{43}Why then hast thou not kept the othe of the Lord, and the commandement wherewith I charged thee? 
\verseNumber{44}The King sayde also to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickednes whereunto thine heart is priuie, that thou diddest to Dauid my father: the Lord therefore shall bring thy wickednesse vpon thine owne head. 
\verseNumber{45}And let King Salomon be blessed, and the throne of Dauid stablished before the Lord for euer. 
\verseNumber{46}So the King comanded Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada: who went out and smote him that he dyed. And the kingdome was established in the hand of Salomon.

\verseNumber{5}In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Salomon in a dreame by night: and God sayd, Aske what I shall giue thee. 
\verseNumber{6}And Salomon sayd, Thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant Dauid my father great mercie, when hee walked before thee in trueth, and in righteousnesse, and in vprightnes of heart with thee: and thou hast kept for him this great mercie, and hast giuen him a sonne, to sit on his throne, as appeareth this day.

\verseNumber{8}And thy seruant is in the mids of thy people, which thou hast chosen, euen a great people which cannot be told nor nobred for multitude. 
\verseNumber{9}Giue therefore vnto thy seruant an vnderstanding heart, to iudge thy people, that I may discerne betweene good and bad: for who is able to iudge this thy mightie people? 
\verseNumber{10}And this pleased the Lord well, that Salomon had desired this thing. 
\verseNumber{11}And God sayde vnto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thy selfe long life, neyther hast asked riches for thy selfe, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies, but hast asked for thy selfe vnderstanding to heare iudgement, 
\verseNumber{12}Beholde, I haue done according to thy wordes: lo, I haue giuen thee a wise and an vnderstanding heart, so that there hath bene none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall arise the like vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{13}And I haue also giuen thee that, which thou hast not asked, both riches and honour, so that among the Kings there shall be none like vnto thee all thy dayes. 
\verseNumber{14}And if thou wilt walke in my wayes, to keepe mine ordinances and my commandements, as thy father Dauid did walke, I will prolong thy dayes. 
\verseNumber{15}And when Salomon awoke, behold, it was a dreame, and he came to Ierusalem, and stoode before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, and offred burnt offrings and made peace offrings, and made a feast to all his seruants.

\verseNumber{2}And the house which King Salomon built for the Lord, was three score cubites long, and twentie broade, and thirtie cubites hie. 
\verseNumber{3}And the porch before the Temple of the house was twentie cubites long according to the breadth of the house, and ten cubites broade before the house. 
\verseNumber{4}And in the house he made windowes, broad without, and narrowe within. 
\verseNumber{5}And by the wall of the house hee made galleries round about, euen by the walles of the house round about the Temple and the oracle, and made chambers round about. 
\verseNumber{6}The nethermost gallerie was fiue cubites broade, and the middlemost sixe cubites broade, and the third seuen cubites broade: for he made restes round about without the house, that the beames should not be fastened in the walles of the house. 
\verseNumber{7}And when the house was built, it was built of stone perfite, before it was brought, so that there was neither hammer, nor axe, nor any toole of yron heard in the house, while it was in building. 
\verseNumber{8}The doore of the middle chamber was in the right side of the house, and men went vp with winding stayres into the middlemost, and out of the middlemost into the third.

\verseNumber{16}And he built twentie cubites in the sides of the house with boards of cedar, from the floore to the walles, and he prepared a place within it for the oracle, euen the most holy place. 
\verseNumber{17}But the house, that is, the Temple before it, was fourtie cubites long. 
\verseNumber{18}And the cedar of the house within was carued with knops, and grauen with floures: all was cedar, so that no stone was seene. 
\verseNumber{19}Also he prepared the place of the oracle in the mids of the house within, to set the Arke of the couenant of the Lord there. 
\verseNumber{20}And the place of the oracle within was twentie cubites long, and twentie cubites broad, and twentie cubites hie, and hee couered it with pure golde, and couered the altar with cedar.

\verseNumber{24}The wing also of the one Cherub was fiue cubites, and the wing of the other Cherub was fiue cubites: from the vttermost part of one of his wings vnto the vttermost part of the other of his wings, were ten cubites. 
\verseNumber{25}Also the other Cherub was of ten cubites: both the Cherubims were of one measure and one sise. 
\verseNumber{26}For the height of the one Cherub was ten cubits, and so was the other Cherub. 
\verseNumber{27}And he put the Cherubims within the inner house, and the Cherubims stretched out their wings, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other Cherub touched the other wall: and their other wings touched one another in the middes of the house. 
\verseNumber{28}And he ouerlaied the Cherubims with golde. 
\verseNumber{29}And he carued all the walles of the house round about with grauen figures of Cherubims and of Palmetrees, and grauen flowres within and without. 
\verseNumber{30}And the floore of the house hee couered with golde within and without. 
\verseNumber{31}And in the entring of the oracle he made two doores of oliue tree: and the vpper post and side postes were fiue square. 
\verseNumber{32}The two doores also were of oliue tree, and he graued them with grauing of Cherubims and palme trees, and grauen floures, and couered them with golde, and layed thin golde vpon the Cherubims and vpon the palme trees. 
\verseNumber{33}And so made he for the doore of the Temple, postes of oliue tree foure square. 
\verseNumber{34}But the two doores were of firre tree, the two sides of the one doore were round, and the two sides of the other doore were round. 
\verseNumber{35}And he graued Cherubims, and palme trees, and carued floures and couered the carued worke with golde, finely wrought. 
\verseNumber{36}And hee built the court within with three rowes of hewed stone, and one rowe of beames of cedar. 
\verseNumber{37}In the fourth yeere was the foundation of the house of the Lord layed in the moneth of Zif:

\verseNumber{3}And it was couered aboue with cedar vpon the beames, that lay on the fourtie and fiue pillars, fifteene in a rowe.

\verseNumber{6}And he made a porche of pillars fiftie cubites long, and thirtie cubites broade, and the porch was before them, euen before them were thirtie pillars. 
\verseNumber{7}Then he made a porch for the throne, where he iudged, euen a porch of iudgement, and it was sieled with cedar from pauement to pauement. 
\verseNumber{8}And in his house, where he dwelt, was an other hall more inwarde then the porche which was of the same worke. Also Salomon made an house for Pharaohs daughter (whom he had taken to wife) like vnto this porche. 
\verseNumber{9}All these were of costly stones, hewed by measure, and sawed with sawes within and without, from the foundation vnto the stones of an hand breadth, and on the outside to the great court. 
\verseNumber{10}And the foundation was of costly stones, and great stones, euen of stones of ten cubites, and stones of eight cubites. 
\verseNumber{11}Aboue also were costly stones, squared by rule, and boardes of cedar. 
\verseNumber{12}And the great court round about was with three rowes of hewed stones, and a rowe of cedar beames: so was it to ye inner court of the house of the Lord, and to the porche of the house. 
\verseNumber{13}Then King Salomon sent, and set one Hiram out of Tyrus. 
\verseNumber{14}He was a widowes sonne of the tribe of Naphtali, his father being a man of Tyrus, and wrought in brasse: he was full of wisedome, and vnderstanding, and knowledge to worke all maner of worke in brasse: who came to King Salomon, and wrought all his worke. 
\verseNumber{15}For he cast two pillars of brasse: ye height of a pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse either of ye pillars. 
\verseNumber{16}And he made two chapiters of molten brasse to set on the tops of the pillars: the height of one of the chapiters was fiue cubites, and the height of the other chapiter was fiue cubites. 
\verseNumber{17}He made grates like networke, and wrethen worke like chaynes for the chapiters that were on the top of the pillars, euen seuen for the one chapiter, and seuen for the other chapiter. 
\verseNumber{18}So he made the pillars and two rowes of pomegranates round about in the one grate to couer the chapiters that were vpon the top. And thus did he for the other chapiter. 
\verseNumber{19}And the chapiters that were on the toppe of the pillars were after lilye worke in ye porch, foure cubites. 
\verseNumber{20}And the chapiters vpon the two pillars had also aboue, ouer against the belly within the networke pomegranates: for two hudreth pomegranates were in the two rankes about vpon either of the chapiters. 
\verseNumber{21}And he set vp the pillars in the porche of the Temple. And when hee had set vp the right pillar, he called the name thereof Iachin: and when he had set vp the left pillar, he called the name thereof Boaz. 
\verseNumber{22}And vpon the top of the pillars was worke of lilyes: so was the workemanship of the pillars finished. 
\verseNumber{23}And he made a molten sea ten cubites wide from brim to brim, rounde in compasse, and fiue cubites hie, and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it about. 
\verseNumber{24}And vnder the brimme of it were knoppes like wilde cucumers compassing it round about, ten in one cubite, compassing the sea round about: and the two rowes of knoppes were cast, when it was molten. 
\verseNumber{25}It stoode on twelue bulles, three looking towarde the North, and three toward the West, and three toward the South, and three towarde the East: and the sea stoode aboue vpon them, and all their hinder partes were inward. 
\verseNumber{26}It was an hand bredth thicke, and the brim thereof was like the worke of the brim of a cup with floures of lilyes: it contained two thousad Baths. 
\verseNumber{27}And he made tenne bases of brasse, one base was foure cubites long, and foure cubites broad, and three cubites hie. 
\verseNumber{28}And the worke of the bases was on this maner, They had borders, and the borders were betweene the ledges: 
\verseNumber{29}And on the borders that were betweene the ledges, were lyons, bulles and Cherubims: and vpon the ledges there was a base aboue: and beneath the lyons and bulles, were addicions made of thinne worke. 
\verseNumber{30}And euery base had foure brasen wheeles, and plates of brasse: and the foure corners had vndersetters: vnder the caldron were vndersetters molten at the side of euery addicion. 
\verseNumber{31}And the mouth of it was within the chapiter and aboue to measure by the cubite: for the mouth thereof was round made like a base, and it was a cubite and halfe a cubite: and also vpon the mouth thereof were grauen workes, whose borders were foure square, and not round. 
\verseNumber{32}And vnder the borders were foure wheeles, and the axeltrees of the wheeles ioyned to the base: and the height of a wheele was a cubite and halfe a cubite. 
\verseNumber{33}And the facion of the wheeles was like the facion of a charet wheele, their axeltrees, and their naues and their felloes, and their spokes were all molten. 
\verseNumber{34}And foure vndersetters were vpon the foure corners of one base: and the vndersetters thereof were of the base it selfe. 
\verseNumber{35}And in the toppe of the base was a rounde compasse of halfe a cubite hie round about: and vpon the toppe of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. 
\verseNumber{36}And vpon the tables of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof he did graue Cherubims, lions and palmetrees, on the side of euery one, and addicions round about. 
\verseNumber{37}Thus made he the tenne bases, They had all one casting, one measure, and one syse. 
\verseNumber{38}Then made he ten caldrons of brasse, one caldron conteyned fourty Baths: and euery caldron was foure cubites, one caldron was vpon one base throughout the ten bases. 
\verseNumber{39}And he set the bases, fiue on the right side of the house, and fiue on the left side of the house. And he set the sea on the right side of the house Eastward toward the South. 
\verseNumber{40}And Hiram made caldrons, and besomes, and basens, and Hiram finished all the worke that he made to King Salomon for the house of ye Lord: 
\verseNumber{41}To wit, two pillars and two bowles of the chapiters that were on the toppe of the two pillars, and two grates to couer the two bowles of the chapiters which were vpon the toppe of the pillars, 
\verseNumber{42}And foure hundreth pomegranates for the two grates, euen two rowes of pomegranates for euery grate to couer the two bowles of the chapiters, that were vpon the pillars, 
\verseNumber{43}And the ten bases, and ten caldrons vpon the bases, 
\verseNumber{44}And the sea, and twelue bulles vnder that sea, 
\verseNumber{45}And pottes, and besomes and basens: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to King Salomon for the house of the Lord, were of shining brasse. 
\verseNumber{46}In the plaine of Iorden did the King cast them in clay betweene Succoth and Zarthan. 
\verseNumber{47}And Salomon left to weigh all the vessels because of the exceeding aboundance, neyther could the weight of the brasse be counted. 
\verseNumber{48}So Salomon made all the vessels that perteyned vnto the house of the Lord, the golden altar, and the golden table, whereon the shewbread was, 
\verseNumber{49}And the candlestickes, fiue at the right side, and fiue at the left, before the oracle of pure gold, and the flowres, and the lampes, and the snuffers of golde, 
\verseNumber{50}And the bowles, and the hookes, and the basens, and the spoones, and the ashpannes of pure golde, and the hinges of golde for the doores of the house within, euen for the most holy place, and for the doores of the house, to wit, of the Temple. 
\verseNumber{51}So was finished all the worke that King Salomon made for the house of the Lord, and Salomon brought in the things which Dauid his father had dedicated: the siluer and the golde and the vessels, and layed them among the treasures of the house of the Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{8}Then King Salomon assembled the Elders of Israel, euen all the heads of the tribes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel vnto him in Ierusalem, for to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the citie of Dauid, which is Zion. 
\verseNumber{2}And all the men of Israel assembled vnto King Salomon at the feast in the moneth of Ethanim, which is the seuenth moneth. 
\verseNumber{3}And all the Elders of Israel came and the Priests tooke the Arke. 
\verseNumber{4}They bare the Arke of the Lord, and they bare the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle: those did the Priestes and Leuites bring vp. 
\verseNumber{5}And King Salomon and all the Congregation of Israel, that were assembled vnto him, were with him before the Arke, offering sheepe and beeues, which could not be tolde, nor nombred for multitude. 
\verseNumber{6}So the Priestes brought the Arke of the couenant of the Lord vnto his place, into the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, euen vnder the wings of the Cherubims. 
\verseNumber{7}For ye Cherubims stretched out their wings ouer the place of the Arke, and the Cherubims couered the Arke, and the barres thereof aboue. 
\verseNumber{8}And they drewe out the barres, that the endes of the barres might appeare out of the Sanctuarie before the oracle, but they were not seene without: and there they are vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{9}Nothing was in the Arke saue the two tables of stone which Moses had put there at Horeb, where the Lord made a couenant with the children of Israel, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{10}And when the Priestes were come out of the Sanctuarie, the cloude filled the house of the Lord, 
\verseNumber{11}So that the Priestes could not stande to minister, because of the cloude: for the glorie of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}Then spake Salomon, The Lord said, that he woulde dwell in the darke cloude. 
\verseNumber{13}I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to abide in for euer. 
\verseNumber{14}And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel: for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there. 
\verseNumber{15}And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 
\verseNumber{16}Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no citie of all the tribes of Israel, to builde an house that my name might be there: but I haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel. 
\verseNumber{17}And it was in ye heart of Dauid my father to builde an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{18}And the Lord said vnto Dauid my father, Where as it was in thine heart to build an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded: 
\verseNumber{19}Neuerthelesse thou shalt not builde the house, but thy sonne that shall come out of thy loynes, he shall builde the house vnto my Name. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Lord hath made good his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and haue built the house for the Name of the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{21}And I haue prepared therein a place for the Arke, wherein is the couenant of the Lord which he made with our fathers, whe he brought them out of the lande of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Salomon stoode before the altar of the Lord in the sight of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his handes towarde heauen, 
\verseNumber{23}And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen aboue, or in the earth beneath, thou that keepest couenant and mercie with thy seruants that walke before thee with all their heart, 
\verseNumber{24}Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth and hast fulfilled it with thine hande, as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight to sit vpon ye throne of Israel: so that thy childre take heed to their way, that they walke before me; as thou hast walked in my sight 
\verseNumber{26}And nowe, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid my father. 
\verseNumber{27}Is it true in deede that God will dwell on the earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: howe much more vnable is this house that I haue built? 
\verseNumber{28}But haue thou respect vnto the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord, my God, to heare the cry and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee this day: 
\verseNumber{29}That thine eyes may be open toward this house, night and day, euen towarde the place whereof thou hast said, My Name shalbe there: that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer which thy seruant prayeth in this place. 
\verseNumber{30}Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which pray in this place, and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, haue mercie. 
\verseNumber{31}When a man shall trespasse against his neighbour, and he lay vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house, 
\verseNumber{32}Then heare thou in heauen, and doe and iudge thy seruants, that thou condemne the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and iustifie the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{33}When thy people Israel shall be ouerthrowen before the enemie, because they haue sinned against thee, and turne againe to thee, and confesse thy Name, and pray and make supplication vnto thee in this house, 
\verseNumber{34}Then heare thou in heauen, and be mercifull vnto the sinne of thy people Israel, and bring them againe vnto the lande, which thou gauest vnto their fathers. 
\verseNumber{35}When heauen shalbe shut vp, and there shalbe no raine because they haue sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confesse thy Name, and turne from their sinne, when thou doest afflict them, 
\verseNumber{36}Then heare thou in heauen, and pardon the sinne of thy seruants and of thy people Israel (when thou hast taught the the good way wherein they may walke) and giue raine vpon the land that thou hast giuen to thy people to inherite. 
\verseNumber{37}When there shalbe famine in the land, when there shalbe pestilence, when there shall be blasting, mildewe, grashopper or caterpiller, when their enemie shall besiege them in the cities of their lande, or any plague, or any sickenesse, 
\verseNumber{38}Then what prayer, and supplication so euer shalbe made of any man or of all thy people Israel, when euery one shall knowe the plague in his owne heart, and stretch foorth his handes in this house, 
\verseNumber{39}Heare thou then in heauen, in thy dwelling place, and be mercifull, and doe, and giue euery man according to all his wayes, as thou knowest his heart, (for thou only knowest the heartes of all the children of men) 
\verseNumber{40}That they may feare thee as long as they liue in ye lad, which thou gauest vnto our fathers. 
\verseNumber{41}Moreouer as touching the stranger that is not of thy people Israel, who shall come out of a farre countrey for thy Names sake, 
\verseNumber{42}(When they shall heare of thy great name, and of thy mightie hande, and of thy stretched out arme) and shall come and pray in this house, 
\verseNumber{43}Heare thou in heauen thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth for vnto thee: that all the people of the earth may know thy Name, and feare thee, as do thy people Israel: and that they may know, that thy Name is called vpon in this house which I haue built. 
\verseNumber{44}When thy people shall go out to battell against their enemie by the way that thou shalt sende them, and shall pray vnto the Lord towarde the way of the citie which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I haue built for thy Name, 
\verseNumber{45}Heare thou then in heauen their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause. 
\verseNumber{46}If they sinne against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them, and deliuer them vnto the enemies, so that they cary them away prisoners vnto the land of the enemies, either farre or neere, 
\verseNumber{47}Yet if they turne againe vnto their heart in the lande (to the which they be caryed away captiues) and returne and pray vnto thee in the lande of them that caryed them away captiues, saying, We haue sinned, we haue transgressed, and done wickedly, 
\verseNumber{48}If they turne againe vnto thee with all their heart, and with all their soule in the lande of their enemies, which led them away captiues, and pray vnto thee toward the way of their land, which thou gauest vnto their fathers, and toward the citie which thou hast chosen, and the house, which I haue built for thy Name, 
\verseNumber{49}Then heare thou their prayer and their supplication in heauen thy dwelling place, and iudge their cause, 
\verseNumber{50}And be mercifull vnto thy people that haue sinned against thee, and vnto all their iniquities (wherein they haue transgressed against thee) and cause that they, which led them away captiues, may haue pitie and compassion on them: 
\verseNumber{51}For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out of Egypt from the middes of the yron fornace. 
\verseNumber{52}Let thine eyes be open vnto the prayer of thy seruant, and vnto the prayer of thy people Israel, to hearken vnto them, in all that they call for vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{53}For thou diddest separate them to thee from among all people of the earth for an inheritance, as thou saidest by the hand of Moses thy seruant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God. 
\verseNumber{54}And when Salomon had made an ende of praying all this prayer and supplication vnto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees, and stretching of his handes to heauen, 
\verseNumber{55}And stoode and blessed all the Congregation of Israel with a loud voyce, saying, 
\verseNumber{56}Blessed be the Lord that hath giuen rest vnto his people Israel, according to all that hee promised: there hath not fayled one word of all his good promise which he promised by the hand of Moses his seruant. 
\verseNumber{57}The Lord our God be with vs, as he was with our fathers, that he forsake vs not, neither leaue vs, 
\verseNumber{58}That he may bow our heartes vnto him, that we may walke in all his waies, and keepe his commandements, and his statutes, and his lawes, which he commanded our fathers. 
\verseNumber{59}And these my wordes, which I haue prayed before the Lord, be neere vnto the Lord our God day and night, that he defende the cause of his seruant, and the cause of his people Israel alway as the matter requireth, 
\verseNumber{60}That all the people of ye earth may knowe, that the Lord is God, and none other. 
\verseNumber{61}Let your heart therefore be perfit with the Lord our God to walke in his statutes, and to keepe his commandements, as this day. 
\verseNumber{62}Then the King and all Israel with him offred sacrifice before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{63}And Salomon offered a sacrifice of peace offrings which he offered vnto the Lord, to wit, two and twentie thousande beeues, and an hundreth and twentie thousande sheepe: so the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{64}The same day did the King halowe the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord: for there he made burnt offerings, and the meate offrings, and the fat of the peace offeringes, because the brasen altar that was before the Lord, was too litle to receiue the burnt offerings, and the meate offerings, and the fat of the peace offrings. 
\verseNumber{65}And Salomon made at that time a feast and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, euen from the entring in of Hamath vnto the riuer of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seuen dayes and seuen dayes, euen fourteene dayes. 
\verseNumber{66}And the eight day he sent the people away: and they thanked the King and went vnto their tentes ioyous and with glad heart, because of al the goodnesse that the Lord had done for Dauid his seruant, and for Israel his people.

\chapterNumber{9}When Salomon had finished the building of the house of ye Lord, and the kings palace, and all that Salomon desired and minded to do, 
\verseNumber{2}Then the Lord appeared vnto Salomon the second time, as he appeared vnto him at Gibeon. 
\verseNumber{3}And the Lord sayd vnto him, I haue heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I haue halowed this house (which thou hast built) to put my Name there for euer, and mine eyes, and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 
\verseNumber{4}And if thou wilt walke before mee (as Dauid thy father walked in purenesse of heart and in righteousnesse) to doe according to al that I haue commanded thee, and keepe my statutes, and my iudgements, 
\verseNumber{5}Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdome vpon Israel for euer, as I promised to Dauid thy father, saying, Thou shalt not want a man vpon the throne of Israel. 
\verseNumber{6}But if ye and your children turne away from mee, and wil not keepe my commandements, and my statutes (which I haue set before you) but go and serue other gods, and worship them, 
\verseNumber{7}Then will I cutte off Israel from the lande, which I haue giuen them, and the house which I haue halowed for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and Israel shall be a prouerbe, and a common talke among all people. 
\verseNumber{8}Euen this hie house shall bee so: euery one that passeth by it, shalbe astonied, and shall hisse, and they shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus vnto this land and to this house? 
\verseNumber{9}And they shall answere, Because they forsooke the Lord their God, which brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and haue taken holde vpon other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them, therfore hath the Lord brought vpon them all this euill. 
\verseNumber{10}And at the ende of twentie yeeres, when Salomon had buylded the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the Kings palace, 
\verseNumber{11}(For the which Hiram the King of Tyrus had brought to Salomon timber of cedar, and firre trees, and golde, and whatsoeuer he desired) then King Salomon gaue to Hiram twentie cities in the land of Galil. 
\verseNumber{12}And Hiram came out from Tyrus to see the cities which Salomon had giuen him, and they pleased him not. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore hee sayde, What cities are these which thou hast giuen me, my brother? And hee called them the land of Cabul vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{14}And Hiram had sent the King sixe score talents of gold. 
\verseNumber{15}And this is the cause of the tribute why King Salomon raised tribute, to wit, to builde the house of the Lord, and his owne house, and Millo, and the wall of Ierusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 
\verseNumber{16}Pharaoh King of Egypt had come vp, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slew the Canaanites, that dwelt in the citie, and gaue it for a present vnto his daughter Salomons wife. 
\verseNumber{17}(Therefore Salomon builte Gezer and Beth-horon the nether, 
\verseNumber{18}And Baalath and Tamor in the wildernes of the land, 
\verseNumber{19}And all the cities of store, that Salomon had, euen cities for charets, and cities for horsemen, and all that Salomon desired and woulde build in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon and in all the land of his dominion)

\verseNumber{21}To wit, their children that were left after them in the lande, whome the children of Israel were not able to destroy, those did Salomon make tributaries vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{22}But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no bondmen: but they were men of warre and his seruants, and his princes, and his captaines, and rulers of his charets and his horsemen. 
\verseNumber{23}These were the princes of the officers, that were ouer Salomons worke: euen fiue hundreth and fiftie, and they ruled the people that wrought in the worke. 
\verseNumber{24}And Pharaohs daughter came vp from the citie of Dauid vnto the house which Salomon had built for her: then did he buylde Millo. 
\verseNumber{25}And thrise a yere did Salomon offer burnt offringes and peace offrings vpon the altar which he built vnto the Lord: and hee burnt incense vpon the altar that was before the Lord, when hee had finished the house. 
\verseNumber{26}Also King Salomon made a nauie of ships in Ezeon-geber, which is beside Eloth, and the brinke of the red Sea, in the land of Edom.

\verseNumber{3}And Salomon declared vnto her all her questions: nothing was hid from the King, which he expounded not vnto her. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the Queene of Sheba sawe all Salomons wisedome, and the house that he had built, 
\verseNumber{5}And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his ministers, and their apparel, and his drinking vessels, and his burnt offrings, that he offered in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied.

\verseNumber{7}Howebeit I beleeued not this report till I came, and had seene it with mine eyes: but lo, ye one halfe was not tolde mee: for thou hast more wisedome and prosperitie, then I haue heard by report.

\verseNumber{10}And she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much, and precious stones. There came no more such aboundance of sweete odours, as the Queene of Sheba gaue to King Salomon. 
\verseNumber{11}The nauie also of Hiram (that caried gold from Ophir) brought likewise great plentie of Almuggim trees from Ophir and precious stones. 
\verseNumber{12}And the King made of ye Almuggim trees pillars for the house of the Lord, and for ye Kings palace, and made harpes and psalteries for singers. There came no more such Almuggim trees, nor were any more seene vnto this day.

\verseNumber{17}And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde, three pound of gold went to one shielde: and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King made a great throne of yuorie, and couered it with the best golde. 
\verseNumber{19}And the throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind, and there were stayes on either side on the place of the throne, and two lions standing by the stayes. 
\verseNumber{20}And there stoode twelue lions on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome. 
\verseNumber{21}And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the woode of Lebanon were of pure golde, none were of siluer: for it was nothing esteemed in the dayes of Salomon. 
\verseNumber{22}For the King had on the sea the nauie of Tharshish with the nauie of Hiram: once in three yere came the nauie of Tharshish, and brought golde and siluer, yuorie, and apes and peacockes. 
\verseNumber{23}So King Salomon exceeded all the kings of the earth both in riches and in wisedome. 
\verseNumber{24}And al the world sought to see Salomon, to heare his wisedome, which God had put in his heart,

\chapterNumber{11}Bvt King Salomon loued many outlandish women: both the daughter of Pharaoh, and the women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon and Heth, 
\verseNumber{2}Of the nations, whereof the Lord had sayd vnto the children of Israel, Goe not ye in to them, nor let them come in to you: for surely they will turne your hearts after their gods, to them, I say, did Salomon ioyne in loue. 
\verseNumber{3}And he had seuen hundreth wiues, that were princesses, and three hundreth concubines, and his wiues turned away his heart. 
\verseNumber{4}For when Salomon was olde, his wiues turned his heart after other gods, so that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of Dauid his father. 
\verseNumber{5}For Salomon followed Ashtaroth the god of the Zidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 
\verseNumber{6}So Salomon wrought wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, but continued not to follow the Lord, as did Dauid his father. 
\verseNumber{7}Then did Salomon build an hie place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mountaine that is ouer against Ierusalem, and vnto Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. 
\verseNumber{8}And so did he for all his outlandish wiues, which burnt incense and offered vnto their gods. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore the Lord was angry with Salomon, because hee had turned his heart from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared vnto him twise, 
\verseNumber{10}And had giuen him a charge concerning this thing, that he should not follow other gods: but he kept not that, which the Lord had commanded him. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore the Lord sayd vnto Salomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my couenant, and my statutes (which I commanded thee) I will surely rent the kingdome from thee, and will giue it to thy seruant. 
\verseNumber{12}Notwithstanding in thy dayes I will not doe it, because of Dauid thy father, but I will rent it out of the hand of thy sonne: 
\verseNumber{13}Howbeit I wil not rent all the Kingdome, but will giue one tribe to thy sonne, because of Dauid my seruant, and because of Ierusalem which I haue chosen. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Lord stirred vp an aduersarie vnto Salomon, euen Hadad the Edomite, of the Kings seede, which was in Edom.

\verseNumber{16}(For six moneths did Ioab remaine there, and all Israel, till he had destroyed all the males in Edom) 
\verseNumber{17}Then this Hadad fled and certaine other Edomites of his fathers seruants with him, to goe into Egypt, Hadad being yet a litle childe. 
\verseNumber{18}And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and tooke men with them out of Paran, and came to Egypt vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, which gaue him an house, and appointed him vitailes, and gaue him lande. 
\verseNumber{19}So Hadad found great fauour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gaue him to wife the sister of his owne wife, euen the sister of Tahpenes the Queene. 
\verseNumber{20}And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his sonne, whome Tahpenes wayned in Pharaohs house: and Genubath was in Pharaohs house among the sonnes of Pharaoh. 
\verseNumber{21}And when Hadad heard in Egypt, that Dauid slept with his fathers, and that Ioab the captaine of the hoste was dead, Hadad sayde to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may goe to mine owne countrey. 
\verseNumber{22}But Pharaoh saide vnto him, What hast thou lacked with me, that thou wouldest thus go to thine owne countrey? And he answered, Nothing, but in any wise let me goe. 
\verseNumber{23}And God stirred him vp another aduersarie, Rezon the sonne of Eliada, which fled from his lorde Hadadezer King of Zobah. 
\verseNumber{24}And he gathered men vnto him, and had bene captaine ouer the company, when Dauid slew them. And they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him King in Damascus. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore was he an aduersarie to Israel all the daies of Salomon: besides the euil that Hadad did, he also abhorred Israel, and reigned ouer Aram 
\verseNumber{26}And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat an Ephrathite of Zereda Salomons seruant (whose mother was called Zeruah a widowe) lift vp his hand against the King. 
\verseNumber{27}And this was the cause that he lift vp his hande against the King, When Salomon built Millo, he repared the broken places of the citie of Dauid his father. 
\verseNumber{28}And this man Ieroboam was a man of strength and courage, and Salomon seeing that the yong man was meete for the worke, he made him ouerseer of all the labour of the house of Ioseph. 
\verseNumber{29}And at that time, when Ieroboam went out of Ierusalem, the Prophet Ahiiah the Shilonite founde him in the way, hauing a newe garment on him, and they two were alone in ye field. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Ahiiah caught the newe garment that was on him, and rent it in twelue pieces, 
\verseNumber{31}And said to Ieroboam, Take vnto thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I wil rent the kingdome out of ye hands of Salomon, and will giue ten tribes to thee. 
\verseNumber{32}But he shall haue one tribe for my seruant Dauids sake, and for Ierusalem the citie, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, 
\verseNumber{33}Because they haue forsaken me, and haue worshipped Ashtaroth the god of the Zidonians, and Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and haue not walked in my wayes (to do right in mine eyes, and my statutes, and my lawes) as did Dauid his father. 
\verseNumber{34}But I will not take the whole kingdome out of his hande: for I will make him prince all his life long for Dauid my seruants sake, whome I haue chosen, and who kept my commandements and my statutes. 
\verseNumber{35}But I will take the kingdome out of his sonnes hand, and will giue it vnto thee, euen the ten tribes. 
\verseNumber{36}And vnto his sonne will I giue one tribe, that Dauid my seruant may haue a light alway before me in Ierusalem the citie, which I haue chosen me, to put my Name there. 
\verseNumber{37}And I wil take thee, and thou shalt reigne, euen as thine heart desireth, and shalt be King ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{38}And if thou hearken vnto all that I commande thee, and wilt walke in my wayes, and doe right in my sight, to keepe my statutes and my commandements, as Dauid my seruant did, then will I be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built vnto Dauid, and wil giue Israel vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{39}And I will for this afflict the seede of Dauid, but not for euer. 
\verseNumber{40}Salomon sought therefore to kill Ieroboam, and Ieroboam arose, and fled into Egypt vnto Shishak King of Egypt, and was in Egypt vntil the death of Salomon.

\chapterNumber{12}And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for al Israel were come to Sheche, to make him king 
\verseNumber{2}And whe Ieroboam ye sonne of Nebat heard of it (who was yet in Egypt, whither Ieroboam had fled from king Salomon, and dwelt in Egypt) 
\verseNumber{3}Then they sent and called him: and Ieroboam and all the Congregation of Israel came, and spake vnto Rehoboam, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Thy father made our yoke grieuous: now therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke which he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee. 
\verseNumber{5}And he said vnto them, Depart yet for three dayes, then come againe to me. And the people departed. 
\verseNumber{6}And King Rehoboam tooke counsell with the olde men that had stande before Salomon his father, while he yet liued, and sayde, What counsell giue ye, that I may make an answere to this people? 
\verseNumber{7}And they spake vnto him, saying, If thou be a seruant vnto this people this day, and serue them, and answere them, and speake kinde wordes to them, they will be thy seruants for euer. 
\verseNumber{8}But he forsooke the counsell that the olde men had giuen him, and asked counsell of the yong men that had bene brought vp with him, and waited on him. 
\verseNumber{9}And he said vnto them, What counsell giue ye, that we may answere this people, which haue spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke, which thy father did put vpon vs, lighter?

\verseNumber{11}Now where as my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet make your yoke heauier: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges.

\verseNumber{14}And spake to them after the counsell of the yong men, saying, My father made your yoke grieuous, and I will make your yoke more grieuous: my father hath chastised you with rods, but I will correct you with scourges. 
\verseNumber{15}And the King hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of the Lord, that he might perfourme his saying, which the Lord had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite vnto Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat. 
\verseNumber{16}So when all Israel sawe that the King regarded them not, the people answered the King thus, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? we haue none inheritance in the sonne of Ishai. To your tents, O Israel: nowe see to thine owne house, Dauid. So Israel departed vnto their tents. 
\verseNumber{17}Howbeit ouer the children of Israel, which dwelt in the cities of Iudah, did Rehoboam reigne still. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe the King Rehoboam sent Adoram the receiuer of the tribute, and all Israel stoned him to death: then King Rehoboam made speede to get him vp to his charet, to flee to Ierusalem.

\verseNumber{20}And when all Israel had heard that Ieroboam was come againe, they sent and called him vnto the assemblie, and made him King ouer all Israel: none followed the house of Dauid, but the tribe of Iudah onely. 
\verseNumber{21}And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered all the house of Iudah with the tribe of Beniamin an hundreth and foure score thousand of chosen men (which were good warriours) to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon.

\verseNumber{25}Then Ieroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein, and went from thence, and built Penuel.

\verseNumber{32}And Ieroboam made a feast the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, like vnto the feast that is in Iudah, and offred on the altar. So did he in Beth-el and offered vnto the calues that he had made: and he placed in Beth-el the Priestes of the hie places, which he had made. 
\verseNumber{33}And he offered vpon the altar, which he had made in Beth-el, the fifteenth day of the eight moneth, (euen in the moneth which he had forged of his owne heart) and made a solemne feast vnto the children of Israel: and he went vp to the altar, to burne incense.

\verseNumber{3}And he gaue a signe the same time, saying, This is the signe, that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall rent, and the ashes that are vpon it, shall fall out. 
\verseNumber{4}And when the King had heard the saying of the man of God, which he had cryed against the altar in Beth-el, Ieroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, Lay holde on him: but his hande which he put foorth against him, dryed vp, and he could not pull it in againe to him. 
\verseNumber{5}The altar also claue asunder, and the ashes fell out from the altar, according to the signe, which the man of God had giuen by the commandement of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the King answered, and saide vnto the man of God, I beseeche thee, pray vnto ye Lord thy God, and make intercession for me, that mine hand may bee restored vnto me. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the Kings hand was restored, and became as it was afore. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the King sayde vnto the man of God, Come home with mee, that thou mayest dyne, and I will giue thee a reward. 
\verseNumber{8}But the man of God saide vnto the King, If thou wouldest giue me halfe thine house, I would not goe in with thee, neither woulde I eate bread nor drinke water in this place. 
\verseNumber{9}For so was it charged mee by the worde of the Lord, saying, Eate no bread nor drinke water, nor turne againe by the same way that thou camest. 
\verseNumber{10}So he went another way and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. 
\verseNumber{11}And an olde Prophet dwelt in Beth-el, and his sonnes came and tolde him all ye woorkes, that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and the wordes which he had spoken vnto the King, tolde they their father.

\verseNumber{13}And hee saide vnto his sonnes, Saddle mee the asse. Who sadled him the asse, and hee rode thereon, 
\verseNumber{14}And went after the man of God, and found him sitting vnder an oke: and he saide vnto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Iudah? And he sayd, Yea. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he said vnto him, Come home with me, and eate bread. 
\verseNumber{16}But he answered, I may not returne with thee, nor go in with thee, neither wil I eate bread nor drinke water with thee in this place. 
\verseNumber{17}For it was charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Thou shalt eate no bread, nor drinke water there, nor turne againe to goe by the way that thou wentest. 
\verseNumber{18}And he said vnto him, I am a Prophet also as thou art, and an Angel spake vnto me by the worde of the Lord, saying, Bring him againe with thee into thine house, that hee may eate bread and drinke water: but he lyed vnto him. 
\verseNumber{19}So he went againe with him, and did eate bread in his house, and dranke water. 
\verseNumber{20}And as they sate at the table, the worde of the Lord came vnto the Prophet, that brought him againe. 
\verseNumber{21}And hee cried vnto the man of God that came from Iudah, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandement which the Lord thy God commanded thee, 
\verseNumber{22}But camest backe againe, and hast eaten bread and drunke water in the place (whereof he did say vnto thee, Thou shalt eate no bread nor drinke any water) thy carkeis shall not come vnto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 
\verseNumber{23}And when he had eaten bread and drunke, he sadled him the asse, to wit, to the Prophet whome he had brought againe.

\verseNumber{27}And he spake to his sonnes, saying, Saddle me the asse. And they sadled him. 
\verseNumber{28}And he went and founde his body cast in the way, and the asse and the lion stoode by the corps: and the lion had not eaten the bodie, nor torne the asse. 
\verseNumber{29}And the Prophet tooke vp the body of the man of God, and layed it vpon the asse, and brought it againe, and the olde Prophet came to the citie, to lament and burie him. 
\verseNumber{30}And hee layed his bodie in his owne graue, and they lamented ouer him, saying, Alas, my brother. 
\verseNumber{31}And when he had buried him, hee spake to his sonnes, saying, When I am dead, burie ye mee also in the sepulchre, wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones. 
\verseNumber{32}For that thing which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the hie places, which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to passe. 
\verseNumber{33}Howbeit after this, Ieroboam conuerted not from his wicked way, but turned againe, and made of the lowest of the people Priests of the hie places. Who would, might consecrate him selfe, and be of the Priestes of the hie places.

\verseNumber{2}Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee captaine ouer my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Ieroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sinne, to prouoke me with their sinnes, 
\verseNumber{3}Beholde, I will take away the posteritie of Baasha, and the posteritie of his house, and will make thine house like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat. 
\verseNumber{4}He that dyeth of Baashas stocke in the citie, him shall the dogs eate: and that man of him which dyeth in the fieldes, shall the foules of the ayre eate. 
\verseNumber{5}And the rest of the actes of Baasha and what he did, and his power, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
\verseNumber{6}So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buryed in Tirzah, and Elah his sonne reigned in his steade. 
\verseNumber{7}And also by the hande of Iehu the sonne of Hanani the Prophet, came the worde of the Lord to Baasha, and to his house, that he shoulde be like the house of Ieroboam, euen for all the wickednes that he did in the sight of the Lord, in prouoking him with the worke of his hands, and because he killed him. 
\verseNumber{8}In the sixe and twentie yeere of Asa king of Iudah began Elah ye sonne of Baasha to reigne ouer Israel in Tirzah, and reigned two yeere. 
\verseNumber{9}And his seruant Zimri, captaine of halfe his charets, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah drinking, til he was drunken in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah. 
\verseNumber{10}And Zimri came and smote him and killed him, in the seuen and twentie yeere of Asa king of Iudah, and reigned in his stead. 
\verseNumber{11}And when he was King, and sate on his throne, he slew al the house of Baasha, not leauing thereof one to pisse against a wall, neither of his kinsfolkes nor of his friendes. 
\verseNumber{12}So did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the Lord which he spake against Baasha by the hande of Iehu the Prophet, 
\verseNumber{13}For all the sinnes of Baasha, and sinnes of Elah his sonne, which they sinned and made Israel to sinne, and prouoked the Lord God of Israel with their vanities. 
\verseNumber{14}And the rest of the actes of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 
\verseNumber{15}In the seuen and twentie yeere of Asa King of Iudah did Zimri reigne seuen dayes in Tirzah, and the people was then in campe against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{16}And the people of the hoste heard saye, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slayne the King. Wherefore all Israel made Omri the captaine of the hoste, king ouer Israel that same day, euen in the hoste. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Omri went vp from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 
\verseNumber{18}And when Zimri saw, that the citie was taken, he went into the palace of the Kings house, and burnt himselfe, and the Kings house with fire, and so dyed, 
\verseNumber{19}For his sinnes which hee sinned, in doing that which is euil in the sight of the Lord, in walking in the way of Ieroboam, and in his sinnes which he did, causing Israel to sinne. 
\verseNumber{20}And the rest of the actes of Zimri, and his treason that hee wrought, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kinges of Israel? 
\verseNumber{21}Then were the people of Israel deuided into two partes: for halfe the people followed Tibni the sonne of Ginath to make him King, and the other halfe followed Omri. 
\verseNumber{22}But the people that folowed Omri, preuayled against the people that followed Tibni the sonne of Ginath: so Tibni dyed, and Omri reigned. 
\verseNumber{23}In the one and thirtie yeere of Asa King of Iudah bega Omri to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned twelue yeere. Sixe yeere reigned he in Tirzah. 
\verseNumber{24}And he bought the mountaine Samaria of one Shemer for two talents of siluer, and buylt in the mountaine, and called the name of the citie, which he buylt, after the name of Shemer lord of the mountaine, Samaria. 
\verseNumber{25}But Omri did euil in the eyes of the Lord, and did worse then all that were before him. 
\verseNumber{26}For he walked in all the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and in his sinnes wherewith he made Israel to sinne in prouoking the Lord God of Israel with their vanities. 
\verseNumber{27}And the rest of the actes of Omri, that hee did, and his strength that he shewed, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 
\verseNumber{28}And Omri slept with his fathers, and was buryed in Samaria: and Ahab his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\verseNumber{29}Nowe Ahab the sonne of Omri began to reigne ouer Israel, in the eyght and thirtie yeere of Asa king of Iudah: and Ahab the sonne of Omri reigned ouer Israel in Samaria two and twenty yere. 
\verseNumber{30}And Ahab the sonne of Omri did worse in ye sight of the Lord then al that were before him. 
\verseNumber{31}For was it a light thing for him to walke in the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, except hee tooke Iezebel also the daughter of Ethbaal King of the Zidonians to wife, and went and serued Baal, and worshipped him? 
\verseNumber{32}Also he reared vp an altar to Baal in the house of Baal, which he had buylt in Samaria. 
\verseNumber{33}And Ahab made a groue, and Ahab proceeded, and did prouoke the Lord God of Israel more then all the kings of Israel that were before him. 
\verseNumber{34}In his dayes did Hiel the Bethelite buylde Iericho: he layed the foundation thereof in Abiram his eldest sonne, and set vp the gates thereof in his yongest sonne Segub, according to the worde of the Lord which he spake by Ioshua the sonne of Nun.

\chapterNumber{17}And Eliiah the Tishbite one of the inhabitats of Gilead sayde vnto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liueth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dewe nor rayne these yeeres, but according to my worde. 
\verseNumber{2}And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}Go hence, and turne thee Eastwarde, and hide thy selfe in the riuer Cherith, that is ouer against Iorden, 
\verseNumber{4}And thou shalt drinke of the riuer: and I haue comanded the rauens to feede thee there. 
\verseNumber{5}So he went and did according vnto the word of the Lord: for he went, and remained by the riuer Cherith that is ouer against Iorden. 
\verseNumber{6}And the rauens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the euening, and he dranke of the riuer. 
\verseNumber{7}And after a while the riuer dryed vp, because there fell no rayne vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{8}And the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}Vp, and get thee to Zarephath, which is in Zidon, and remaine there: beholde, I haue commanded a widow there to sustaine thee. 
\verseNumber{10}So he arose, and went to Zarephath: and when he came to the gate of the citie, beholde, the widowe was there gathering stickes: and he called her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a litle water in a vessel, that I may drinke. 
\verseNumber{11}And as she was going to fet it, he called to her, and sayde, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsell of bread in thine hand. 
\verseNumber{12}And shee sayde, As the Lord thy God liueth, I haue not a cake, but euen an handfull of meale in a barrel, and a litle oyle in a cruse: and behold, I am gathering a fewe stickes for to go in, and dresse it for me and my sonne, that we may eate it, and dye. 
\verseNumber{13}And Eliiah said vnto her, Feare not, come, do as thou hast sayd, but make me thereof a litle cake first of all, and bring it vnto mee, and afterward make for thee, and thy sonne. 
\verseNumber{14}For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The meale in the barrel shall not be wasted, neither shall the oyle in the cruse be diminished, vnto the time that the Lord send rayne vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{15}So she went, and did as Eliiah sayd, and she did eate: so did he and her house for a certaine time. 
\verseNumber{16}The barrell of the meale wasted not, nor the oyle was spent out of the cruse, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake by the hand of Eliiah. 
\verseNumber{17}And after these things, the sonne of the wife of the house fell sicke, and his sicknesse was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. 
\verseNumber{18}And she said vnto Eliiah, What haue I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come vnto me to call my sinne to remembrance, and to slay my sonne? 
\verseNumber{19}And he said vnto her, Giue me thy sonne. and he tooke him out of her bosome, and caryed him vp into a chamber, where he abode, and laid him vpon his owne bed. 
\verseNumber{20}Then he called vnto the Lord, and sayde, O Lord my God, hast thou punished also this widowe, with whome I soiourne, by killing her sonne? 
\verseNumber{21}And he stretched himselfe vpon the childe three times, and called vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord my God, I pray thee, let this childes soule come into him againe. 
\verseNumber{22}Then the Lord heard the voyce of Eliiah, and the soule of the child came into him againe, and he reuiued. 
\verseNumber{23}And Eliiah tooke the childe, and brought him downe out of the chamber into the house, and deliuered him vnto his mother, and Eliiah sayd, Behold, thy sonne liueth. 
\verseNumber{24}And the woman saide vnto Eliiah, Now I knowe that thou art a man of God, and that the worde of the Lord in thy mouth is true.

\chapterNumber{18}After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{2}And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria. 
\verseNumber{3}And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly: 
\verseNumber{4}For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.) 
\verseNumber{5}And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes. 
\verseNumber{6}And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe. 
\verseNumber{7}And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah? 
\verseNumber{8}And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here. 
\verseNumber{9}And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me? 
\verseNumber{10}As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee. 
\verseNumber{11}And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here. 
\verseNumber{12}And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth. 
\verseNumber{13}Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water? 
\verseNumber{14}And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me. 
\verseNumber{15}And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day. 
\verseNumber{16}So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah. 
\verseNumber{17}And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 
\verseNumber{18}And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. 
\verseNumber{19}Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table. 
\verseNumber{20}So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel. 
\verseNumber{21}And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde. 
\verseNumber{22}Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men. 
\verseNumber{23}Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder. 
\verseNumber{24}Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken. 
\verseNumber{25}And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder. 
\verseNumber{26}So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made. 
\verseNumber{27}And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 
\verseNumber{28}And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them. 
\verseNumber{29}And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded. 
\verseNumber{30}And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe. 
\verseNumber{31}And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name) 
\verseNumber{32}And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede. 
\verseNumber{33}And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood, 
\verseNumber{34}And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time. 
\verseNumber{35}And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also. 
\verseNumber{36}And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement. 
\verseNumber{37}Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last. 
\verseNumber{38}Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche. 
\verseNumber{39}And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God. 
\verseNumber{40}And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there. 
\verseNumber{41}And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne. 
\verseNumber{42}So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees, 
\verseNumber{43}And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times. 
\verseNumber{44}And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not. 
\verseNumber{45}And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel. 
\verseNumber{46}And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{19}Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine all the prophets with the sword. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time. 
\verseNumber{3}When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant there. 
\verseNumber{4}But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then my fathers. 
\verseNumber{5}And as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate. 
\verseNumber{6}And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Angel of the Lord came againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney. 
\verseNumber{8}Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God. 
\verseNumber{9}And there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah? 
\verseNumber{10}And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away. 
\verseNumber{11}And he saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came an earthquake: but the Lord was not in the earthquake: 
\verseNumber{12}And after the earthquake came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce. 
\verseNumber{13}And when Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah? 
\verseNumber{14}And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Lord said vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram. 
\verseNumber{16}And Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume. 
\verseNumber{17}And him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay. 
\verseNumber{18}Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him. 
\verseNumber{19}So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon him. 
\verseNumber{20}And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I done to thee? 
\verseNumber{21}And when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto him.

\chapterNumber{20}Then Ben-hadad the King of Aram assembled all his armie, and two and thirtie Kings with him, with horses, and charets, and went vp and besieged Samaria, and fought against it. 
\verseNumber{2}And he sent messengers to Ahab King of Israel, into the citie, 
\verseNumber{3}And sayd vnto him, Thus sayth Ben-hadad, Thy siluer and thy golde is mine: also thy women, and thy fayre children are mine. 
\verseNumber{4}And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, My lord King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haue. 
\verseNumber{5}And when the messengers came againe, they said, Thus commandeth Ben-hadad, and saith, When I shall send vnto thee, and command, thou shalt deliuer me thy siluer and thy golde, and thy women, and thy children, 
\verseNumber{6}Or els I will sende my seruants vnto thee by to morow this time: and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy seruants: and whatsoeuer is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall take it in their handes, and bring it away. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not. 
\verseNumber{8}And all the Elders, and all the people sayd to him, Hearken not vnto him, nor consent. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore hee sayde vnto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lorde the King, All that thou didddest sende for to thy seruant at the first time, that I will doe, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answere. 
\verseNumber{10}And Ben-hadad sent vnto him, and sayde, The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria be ynough to all the people that follow me, for euery man an handfull. 
\verseNumber{11}And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harneis, boast himselfe, as he that putteth it off. 
\verseNumber{12}And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the Kings drinking in the pauilions, he sayd vnto his seruants, Bring forth your engines, and they set them against the citie. 
\verseNumber{13}And beholde, there came a Prophet vnto Ahab King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Hast thou seene all this great multitude? beholde, I will deliuer it into thine hande this day, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lord. 
\verseNumber{14}And Ahab sayd, By whome? And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand. 
\verseNumber{16}And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him. 
\verseNumber{17}So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, and they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria. 
\verseNumber{18}And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue. 
\verseNumber{19}So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them. 
\verseNumber{20}And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen. 
\verseNumber{21}And the King of Israel went out, and smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites. 
\verseNumber{22}(For there had come a Prophet to the King of Israel, and had sayd vnto him, Goe, be of good courage, and consider, and take heede what thou doest: for when the yeere is gone about, the King of Aram wil come vp against thee) 
\verseNumber{23}Then the seruants of the King of Aram said vnto him, Their gods are gods of the moutaines, and therefore they ouercame vs: but let vs fight against them in the playne, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them. 
\verseNumber{24}And this doe, Take the Kings away, euery one out of his place, and place captaines for them. 
\verseNumber{25}And nomber thy selfe an armie, like the armie that thou hast lost, with such horses, and such charets, and we wil fight against them in the plaine, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them: and he hearkened vnto their voyce, and did so. 
\verseNumber{26}And after the yeere was gone about, Ben-hadad nombred the Aramites, and went vp to Aphek to fight against Israel. 
\verseNumber{27}And the children of Israel were nombred, and were all assembled and went against them, and the children of Israel pitched before them, like two litle flockes of kiddes: but the Aramites filled the countrey. 
\verseNumber{28}And there came a man of God, and spake vnto the King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because the Aramites haue sayd, The Lord is the God of the mountaines, and not God of the valleis, therefore will I deliuer all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 
\verseNumber{29}And they pitched one ouer against the other seuen dayes, and in the seuenth day the battel was ioyned: and the children of Israel slew of the Aramites an hundreth thousand footemen in one day. 
\verseNumber{30}But the rest fled to Aphek into the citie: and there fel a wall vpon seuen and twentie thousand men that were left: and Ben-hadad fled into the citie, and came into a secret chamber. 
\verseNumber{31}And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life. 
\verseNumber{32}Then they gyrded sackecloth about their loynes, and put ropes about their heads, and came to the King of Israel, and sayd, Thy seruant Ben-hadad sayth, I pray thee, let me liue: and he sayd, Is he yet aliue? he is my brother. 
\verseNumber{33}Now the men tooke diliget heede, if they could catch any thing of him, and made haste, and sayd, Thy brother Ben-hadad. And he sayd, Go, bring him. So Ben-hadad came out vnto him, and he caused him to come vp vnto the chariot. 
\verseNumber{34}And Ben-hadad sayd vnto him, The cities, which my father tooke from thy father, I wil restore, and thou shalt make streetes for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee goe with this couenant. So he made a couenant with him, and let him goe. 
\verseNumber{35}Then a certaine man of the children of the Prophets sayd vnto his neighbour by the comandement of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him. 
\verseNumber{36}Then sayd he vnto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, beholde, as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slay thee. So when he was departed from him, a lyon found him and slew him. 
\verseNumber{37}Then he founde another man, and sayde, Smite mee, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded him. 
\verseNumber{38}So the Prophet departed, and wayted for the King by the way, and disguised himselfe with ashes vpon his face. 
\verseNumber{39}And when the King came by, he cried vnto the King, and said, Thy seruant went into the middes of the battel: and beholde, there went away a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayd, Keepe this man: if he be lost, and want, thy life shall go for his life, or els thou shalt pay a talent of siluer. 
\verseNumber{40}And as thy seruant had here and there to do, he was gone: And the King of Israel said vnto him, So shall thy iudgement be: thou hast giuen sentence. 
\verseNumber{41}And hee hasted, and tooke the ashes away from his face: and the King of Israel knewe him that he was of the Prophets: 
\verseNumber{42}And he said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let goe out of thine handes a man whom I appoynted to dye, thy life shall goe for his life, and thy people for his people. 
\verseNumber{43}And the King of Israel went to his house heauie and in displeasure, and came to Samaria.

\chapterNumber{21}After these things Naboth the Izreelite had a vineyarde in Izreel, hard by the palace of Ahab King of Samaria. 
\verseNumber{2}And Ahab spake vnto Naboth, saying, Giue me thy vineyarde, that I may make mee a garden of herbes thereof, because it is neere by mine house: and I will giue thee for it a better vineyarde then it is: or if it please thee, I will giue thee the worth of it in money. 
\verseNumber{3}And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord keepe me from giuing the inheritance of my father vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Ahab came into his house heauie and in displeasure, because of the word which Naboth the Izreelite had spoken vnto him. for hee had sayde, I will not giue thee the inheritance of my fathers, and he lay vpon his bed, and turned his face and would eate no bread. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Iezebel his wife came to him and said vnto him, Why is thy spirit so sad that thou eatest no bread? 
\verseNumber{6}And he said vnto her, Because I spake vnto Naboth the Izreelite, and sayd vnto him, Giue me thy vineyard for money, or if it please thee, I will giue thee another vineyard for it: but he answered, I wil not giue thee my vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Iezebel his wife sayde vnto him, Doest thou nowe gouerne the kingdome of Israel? vp, eate bread, and be of good cheere, I will giue thee the vineyard of Naboth the Izreelite. 
\verseNumber{8}So she wrote letters in Ahabs name, and sealed them with his seale, and sent the letters vnto the Elders, and to the nobles that were in his citie dwelling with Naboth. 
\verseNumber{9}And shee wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaime a fast, and set Naboth among the chiefe of the people, 
\verseNumber{10}And set two wicked men before him, and let them witnesse against him, saying, Thou diddest blaspheme God and the King: then cary him out, and stone him that he may dye. 
\verseNumber{11}And the men of his citie, euen the Elders and gouernours, which dwelt in his citie, did as Iezebel had sent vnto them: as it was written in the letters, which she had sent vnto them. 
\verseNumber{12}They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth among the chiefe of the people, 
\verseNumber{13}And there came two wicked men, and sate before him: and the wicked men witnessed against Naboth in the presence of the people saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the King. Then they caried him away out of the citie, and stoned him with stones, that he dyed. 
\verseNumber{14}Then they sent to Iezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned and is dead. 
\verseNumber{15}And when Iezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, Iezebel sayd to Ahab, Vp, and take possession of the vineyarde of Naboth the Izreelite, which he refused to giue thee for money: for Naboth is not aliue, but is dead. 
\verseNumber{16}And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he rose to go downe to the vineyard of Naboth the Izreelite, to take possession of it. 
\verseNumber{17}And the word of the Lord came vnto Eliiah the Tishbite, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Arise, goe downe to meete Ahab King of Israel, which is in Samaria. loe, he is in the vineyarde of Naboth, whither he is gone downe to take possession of it. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore shalt thou say vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Hast thou killed, and also gotten possession? And thou shalt speake vnto him, saying, Thus sayth the Lord, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, shall dogs licke euen thy blood also. 
\verseNumber{20}And Ahab sayd to Eliiah, Hast thou found mee, O mine enemie? And he answered, I haue found thee: for thou hast solde thy selfe to worke wickednes in the sight of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}Beholde, I will bring euill vpon thee, and wil take away thy posteritie, and wil cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, as well him that is shut vp, as him that is left in Israel, 
\verseNumber{22}And I wil make thine house like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the sonne of Ahiiah, for the prouocation wherewith thou hast prouoked, and made Israel to sinne. 
\verseNumber{23}And also of Iezebel spake the Lord, saying, The dogs shall eate Iezebel, by the wall of Izreel. 
\verseNumber{24}The dogs shall eate him of Ahabs stocke, that dyeth in the citie: and him that dyeth in the fieldes, shall the foules of the ayre eate. 
\verseNumber{25}(But there was none like Ahab, who did fell him selfe, to worke wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: whom Iezebel his wife prouoked. 
\verseNumber{26}For he did exceeding abominably in following idoles, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the Lord cast out before the children of Israel.) 
\verseNumber{27}Nowe when Ahab heard those wordes, he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth vpon him and fasted, and lay in sackecloth and went softely. 
\verseNumber{28}And the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah the Tishbite, saying, 
\verseNumber{29}Seest thou how Ahab is humbled before me? because he submitteth himselfe before me, I will not bring that euill in his dayes, but in his sonnes dayes wil I bring euill vpon his house.

\chapterNumber{22}And they continued three yeere without warre betweene Aram and Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}And in the third yeere did Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah come downe to ye King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}(Then the King of Israel saide vnto his seruants, Knowe yee not that Ramoth Gilead was ours? and wee stay, and take it not out of ye hand of the King of Aram?) 
\verseNumber{4}And he sayde vnto Iehoshaphat, Wilt thou goe with mee to battel against Ramoth Gilead? And Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsaile, I pray thee, of the Lord to day. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the King of Israel gathered the prophets vpon a foure hundreth men, and said vnto them, Shal I go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I let it alone? And they said, Go vp: for ye Lord shall deliuer it into the hands of the King. 
\verseNumber{7}And Iehoshaphat said, Is there here neuer a Prophet of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him? 
\verseNumber{8}And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man (Michaiah the sonne of Imlah) by whom we may aske counsel of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophecie good vnto me, but euill. And Iehoshaphat sayd, Let not the King say so. 
\verseNumber{9}Then the King of Israel called an Eunuche, and sayde, Call quickely Michaiah the sonne of Imlah. 
\verseNumber{10}And the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne in their apparell in the voyde place at the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophecied before them. 
\verseNumber{11}And Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayd, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites, vntill thou hast consumed them. 
\verseNumber{12}And all the prophets prophecied so, saying, Goe vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the Kings hand. 
\verseNumber{13}And the messenger that was gone to call Michaiah spake vnto him, saying, Beholde now, the wordes of the prophets declare good vnto the King with one accorde: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like the worde of one of them, and speake thou good. 
\verseNumber{14}And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer the Lord sayth vnto me, that will I speake. 
\verseNumber{15}So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall we leaue off? And he answered him, Goe vp, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King. 
\verseNumber{16}And the King said vnto him, How oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{17}Then he said, I sawe all Israel scattered vpon the mountaines, as sheepe that had no shepheard. And the Lord sayde, These haue no master, let euery man returne vnto his house in peace. 
\verseNumber{18}(And the King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would prophecie no good vnto me, but euill?) 
\verseNumber{19}Againe he said, Heare thou therefore the worde of the Lord. I sawe the Lord sit on his throne, and all the hoste of heauen stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Lord sayd, Who shall entise Ahab that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one said on this maner, and another sayd on that maner. 
\verseNumber{21}Then there came forth a spirit, and stoode before the Lord, and sayd, I wil entise him. And the Lord sayd vnto him, Wherewith? 
\verseNumber{22}And he sayd, I will goe out, and be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then he sayd, Thou shalt entise him, and shalt also preuayle: goe forth, and doe so. 
\verseNumber{23}Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirite in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath appoynted euill against thee. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah on the cheeke and sayd, When went the Spirite of the Lord from me, to speake vnto thee? 
\verseNumber{25}And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee. 
\verseNumber{26}And the King of Israel sayd, Take Michaiah, and cary him vnto Amon the gouernour of the citie, and vnto Ioash the Kings sonne, 
\verseNumber{27}And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, vntill I returne in peace. 
\verseNumber{28}And Michaiah sayde, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he sayd, Hearken all ye people. 
\verseNumber{29}So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead. 
\verseNumber{30}And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, I will change mine apparell, and will enter into the battell, but put thou on thine apparell. And the King of Israel changed himselfe, and went into the battel. 
\verseNumber{31}And the King of Aram commanded his two and thirtie captaines ouer his charets, saying, Fight neither with small, nor great, saue onely against the King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{32}And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayd, Surely it is the King of Israel, and they turned to fight against him: and Iehoshaphat cryed. 
\verseNumber{33}And when the captaines of the charets saw that he was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him. 
\verseNumber{34}Then a certaine man drewe a bow mightily and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine. Wherefore he sayde vnto his charet man, Turne thine hand and cary me out of the hoste: for I am hurt. 
\verseNumber{35}And the battel encreased that day, and the King stoode still in his charet against the Aramites, and dyed at euen: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middes of the charet. 
\verseNumber{36}And there went a proclamation thorowout the hoste about the going downe of the sunne, saying, Euery man to his citie, and euery man to his owne countrey. 
\verseNumber{37}So the King died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the King in Samaria. 
\verseNumber{38}And one washed the charet in the poole of Samaria, and the dogs licked vp his blood (and they washed his armour) according vnto the word of the Lord which he spake. 
\verseNumber{39}Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahab and all that he did, and the yuorie house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel? 
\verseNumber{40}So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\verseNumber{41}And Iehoshaphat the sonne of Asa began to reigne vpon Iudah in the fourth yeere of Ahab King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{42}Iehoshaphat was fiue and thirty yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem. And his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 
\verseNumber{43}And he walked in all the wayes of Asa his father, and declined not therefrom, but did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Neuerthelesse the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred still and burnt incense in the hie places. 
\verseNumber{44}And Iehoshaphat made peace with the King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{45}Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat, and his worthy deedes that he did, and his battels which he fought, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? 
\verseNumber{46}And the Sodomites, which remayned in the dayes of his father Asa, he put cleane out of the land. 
\verseNumber{47}There was then no King in Edom: the deputie was King. 
\verseNumber{48}Iehoshaphat made shippes of Tharshish to sayle to Ophir for golde, but they went not, for the shippes were broken at Ezion Gaber. 
\verseNumber{49}Then sayde Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehoshaphat, Let my seruants goe with thy seruants in the ships, But Iehoshaphat would not. 
\verseNumber{50}And Iehoshaphat did sleepe with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father, and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\verseNumber{51}Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the seuenteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned two yeeres ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{52}But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne. 
\verseNumber{53}For he serued Baal and worshipped him, and prouoked the Lord God of Israel vnto wrath, according vnto all that his father had done.

\chapterNumber{1}Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab: 
\verseNumber{2}And Ahaziah fell thorow the lattesse windowe in his vpper chamber which was in Samaria: so he was sicke: then he sent messengers, to whome he saide, Goe, and enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron, if I shall recouer of this my disease. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the Angel of the Lord said to Eliiah the Tishbite, Arise, and goe vp to meete the messengers of the King of Samaria, and say vnto them, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that ye goe to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come downe from the bed on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death. So Eliiah departed. 
\verseNumber{5}And the messengers returned vnto him, to whome he said, Why are ye nowe returned? 
\verseNumber{6}And they answered him, There came a man and met vs, and saide vnto vs, Goe, and returne vnto the King which sent you, and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not come downe from the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die ye death. 
\verseNumber{7}And he saide vnto them, What maner of man was he which came and met you, and tolde you these wordes? 
\verseNumber{8}And they said vnto him, He was an hearie man, and girded with a girdle of lether about his loynes. Then sayde he, It is Eliiah the Tishbite. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore the King sent vnto him a captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie men, who went vp vnto him: for beholde, he sate on the toppe of a mountaine, and he saide vnto him, O man of God, the King hath commanded that thou come downe. 
\verseNumber{10}But Eliiah answered, and saide to the captaine ouer the fiftie, If that I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen and deuoured him and his fiftie. 
\verseNumber{11}Againe also he sent vnto him another captaine ouer fiftie, with his fiftie. Who spake, and saide vnto him, O man of God, thus the King commandeth, Come downe quickely. 
\verseNumber{12}But Eliiah answered, and saide vnto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen, and deuoured him and his fiftie. 
\verseNumber{13}Yet againe he sent the third captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie. And the thirde captaine ouer fiftie went vp, and came, and fell on his knees before Eliiah, and besought him, and saide vnto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these thy fiftie seruants be precious in thy sight. 
\verseNumber{14}Beholde, there came fire downe from the heauen and deuoured the two former captaines ouer fiftie with their fifties: therefore let my life nowe be precious in thy sight. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Eliiah, Goe downe with him, be not afraide of his presence. So he arose, and went downe with him vnto the King. 
\verseNumber{16}And he saide vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, (was it not because there was no God in Israel to inquire of his worde?) therefore thou shalt not come downe off the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death. 
\verseNumber{17}So he dyed according to the worde of the Lord which Eliiah had spoken. And Iehoram began to reigne in his steade, in the seconde yeere of Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, because he had no sonne.

\verseNumber{3}And the children of the Prophets that were at Beth-el, came out to Elisha, and said vnto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he said, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace. 
\verseNumber{4}Againe Eliiah saide vnto him, Elisha, tarie here, I pray thee: for the Lord hath sent me to Iericho: But he said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they came to Iericho. 
\verseNumber{5}And the children of the Prophets that were at Iericho, came to Elisha, and saide vnto him, Knowest thou, that the Lord will take thy master from thine head this day? And he sayde, Yea, I knowe it: holde ye your peace. 
\verseNumber{6}Moreouer Eliiah saide vnto him, Tarie, I pray thee, here: for the Lord hath sent me to Iorden. But he saide, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. So they went both together. 
\verseNumber{7}And fiftie men of the sonnes of the Prophets went and stoode on the other side a farre off, and they two stoode by Iorden. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Eliiah tooke his cloke, and wrapt it together, and smote the waters, and they were deuided hither and thither, and they twaine went ouer on the dry lande. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe when they were passed ouer, Eliiah saide vnto Elisha, Aske what I shall doe for thee before I be taken from thee. And Elisha saide, I pray thee, let thy Spirit be double vpon me. 
\verseNumber{10}And he saide, Thou hast asked an hard thing: yet if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt haue it so: and if not, it shall not be. 
\verseNumber{11}And as they went walking and talking, beholde, there appeared a charet of fire, and horses of fire, and did separate them twaine. So Eliiah went vp by a whirle winde into heauen. 
\verseNumber{12}And Elisha saw it, and he cryed, My father, my father, the charet of Israel, and the horsemen thereof: and he sawe him no more: and he tooke his owne clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 
\verseNumber{13}He tooke vp also the cloke of Eliiah that fell from him, and returned, and stoode by the banke of Iorden. 
\verseNumber{14}After, he tooke the cloke of Eliiah, that fell from him, and smote the waters, and sayde, Where is the Lord God of Eliiah? And so he also, after he had striken the waters, so that they were deuided this way and that way, went ouer, euen Elisha. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the children of the Prophets, which were at Iericho, saw him on the other side, they sayde, The Spirite of Eliiah doeth rest on Elisha: and they came to meete him, and fell to the grounde before him, 
\verseNumber{16}And said vnto him, Beholde nowe, there be with thy seruants fiftie strong men: let them go, we pray thee, and seeke thy master, if so be the Spirite of the Lord hath taken him vp, and cast him vpon some mountaine, or into some valley. But he said, Ye shall not sende. 
\verseNumber{17}Yet they were instant vpon him, til he was ashamed: wherefore he saide, Sende. So they sent fiftie men, which sought three dayes, but founde him not. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore they returned to him, (for he taryed at Iericho) and he said vnto them, Did not I say vnto you, Goe not? 
\verseNumber{19}And the men of the citie saide vnto Elisha, Beholde, we pray thee: the situation of this citie is pleasant, as thou, my lorde, seest, but the water is naught, and the ground baren. 
\verseNumber{20}Then he saide, Bring me a newe cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 
\verseNumber{21}And he went vnto the spring of the waters, and cast there the salt, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed this water: death shall no more come thereof, neither barennesse to the ground. 
\verseNumber{22}So the waters were healed vntill this day, according to the worde of Elisha which hee had spoken. 
\verseNumber{23}And he went vp from thence vnto Beth-el. And as he was going vp the way, litle children came out of the citie, and mocked him, and saide vnto him, Come vp, thou balde head, come vp, thou balde head. 
\verseNumber{24}And he turned backe, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two beares came out of the forest, and tare in pieces two and fourtie children of them. 
\verseNumber{25}So he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.

\chapterNumber{3}Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres. 
\verseNumber{2}And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made. 
\verseNumber{3}Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll. 
\verseNumber{5}But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel, 
\verseNumber{7}And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses. 
\verseNumber{8}Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom. 
\verseNumber{9}So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab. 
\verseNumber{11}But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the King of Israels seruants answered, and said, Here is Elisha the sonne of Shaphat, which powred water on the handes of Eliiah. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him. 
\verseNumber{13}And Elisha sayde vnto the King of Israel, What haue I to doe with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the King of Israel saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee. 
\verseNumber{15}But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him. 
\verseNumber{16}And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches. 
\verseNumber{17}For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes. 
\verseNumber{18}But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande. 
\verseNumber{19}And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones. 
\verseNumber{20}And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water. 
\verseNumber{21}And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border. 
\verseNumber{22}And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood. 
\verseNumber{23}And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab. 
\verseNumber{25}And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it. 
\verseNumber{26}And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not. 
\verseNumber{27}Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.

\chapterNumber{4}And one of the wiues of the sonnes of the Prophets cryed vnto Elisha, saying, Thy seruant mine husband is dead, and thou knowest, that thy seruant did feare the Lord: and the creditour is come to take my two sonnes to bee his bondmen. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Elisha saide vnto her, What shall I do for thee? tell mee, what hast thou at home? And she sayd, Thine handmayd hath nothing at home, saue a pitcher of oyle. 
\verseNumber{3}And he sayde, Goe, and borowe thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, emptie vessels, and spare not. 
\verseNumber{4}And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the doore vpon thee and vpon thy sonnes, and powre out into all those vessels, and set aside those that are full. 
\verseNumber{5}So shee departed from him, and shut the doore vpon her, and vpon her sonnes. And they brought to her, and she powred out. 
\verseNumber{6}And when the vessels were full, shee sayde vnto her sonne, Bring mee yet a vessel. And hee said vnto her, There is no moe vessels. And the oyle ceased. 
\verseNumber{7}Then shee came and tolde the man of God. And he saide, Goe, and sell the oyle, and pay them that thou art in debt vnto, and liue thou and thy children of the rest. 
\verseNumber{8}And on a time Elisha came to Shunem, and there a woman of great estimation constrained him to eate bread: and as he passed by, he turned in thither to eate bread. 
\verseNumber{9}And she sayde vnto her husband, Beholde, I know now, that this is an holy man of God that passeth by vs continually. 
\verseNumber{10}Let vs make him a litle chamber, I pray thee, with walles, and let vs set him there a bed, and a table, and a stoole, and a candlesticke, that hee may turne in thither when hee commeth to vs. 
\verseNumber{11}And on a day, hee came thither and turned into the chamber, and lay therein, 
\verseNumber{12}And sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Call this Shunammite: and when hee called her, she stood before him. 
\verseNumber{13}Then he sayd vnto him, Say vnto her now, Beholde, thou hast had all this great care for vs, what shall we doe for thee? Is there any thing to bee spoken for thee to the King or to the captaine of the hoste? And shee answered, I dwell among mine owne people. 
\verseNumber{14}Againe he sayde, What is then to be done for her? Then Gehazi answered, In deede she hath no sonne, and her husband is olde. 
\verseNumber{15}Then said he, Cal her. And hee called her, and shee stoode in the doore. 
\verseNumber{16}And he said, At this time appointed, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a sonne. And she sayd, Oh my Lord, thou man of God, doe not lye vnto thine handmayd. 
\verseNumber{17}So the woman conceiued, and bare a sonne at that same season, according to the time of life, that Elisha had sayd vnto her. 
\verseNumber{18}And when the childe was growen, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father, and to the reapers. 
\verseNumber{19}And he sayde to his father, Mine head, mine head. Who sayd to his seruant, Beare him to his mother. 
\verseNumber{20}And hee tooke him and brought him to his mother, and hee sate on her knees till noone, and dyed. 
\verseNumber{21}Then shee went vp, and layed him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the doore vpon him, and went out. 
\verseNumber{22}Then she called to her husband, and sayd, Send with me, I pray thee, one of the yong men and one of the asses: for I will haste to the man of God, and come againe. 
\verseNumber{23}And he sayd, Wherefore wilt thou goe to him to day? it is neither newe moone nor Sabbath day. And she answered, All shalbe well. 
\verseNumber{24}Then she sadled an asse, and sayde to her seruant, Driue, and goe forward: staye not for me to get vp, except I bid thee. 
\verseNumber{25}So she went, and came vnto the man of God to mount Carmel. And when the man of God sawe her ouer against him, he sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Beholde, the Shunammite. 
\verseNumber{26}Runne nowe, I say, to meete her, and say vnto her, Art thou in health? is thine husband in health? and is the child in health? And she answered, We are in health. 
\verseNumber{27}And when shee came to the man of God vnto the moutaine, she caught him by his feete: and Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away: but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soule is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told it mee. 
\verseNumber{28}Then she said, Did I desire a sonne of my lord? did I not say, Deceiue me not? 
\verseNumber{29}Then he sayd to Gehazi, Gird thy loynes, and take my staffe in thine hand, and goe thy way: if thou meete any, salute him not: and if any salute thee, answere him not: and laye my staffe vpon the face of the childe. 
\verseNumber{30}And the mother of the childe sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. Therefore he arose, and followed her. 
\verseNumber{31}But Gehazi was gone before them, and had layed the staffe vpon the face of the childe, but he neither spake nor heard: wherefore hee returned to meete him, and told him, saying, The childe is not waken. 
\verseNumber{32}Then came Elisha into the house, and beholde, the childe was dead, and layed vpon his bedde. 
\verseNumber{33}He went in therefore, and shut the doore vpon them twayne, and prayed vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{34}After he went vp, and lay vpon the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes vpon his eies, and his hands vpon his handes, and stretched himselfe vpon him, and the flesh of the child waxed warme. 
\verseNumber{35}And hee went from him, and walked vp and downe in the house, and went vp and spred himselfe vpon him: then the childe neesed seuen times, and opened his eyes. 
\verseNumber{36}Then he called Gehazi, and sayd, Call this Shunammite. So he called her, which came in vnto him. And he said vnto her, Take thy sonne. 
\verseNumber{37}And she came, and fell at his feete, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and tooke vp her sonne, and went out. 
\verseNumber{38}Afterward Elisha returned to Gilgal, and a famine was in the land, and the children of the Prophets dwelt with him. And hee sayd vnto his seruant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the children of the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{39}And one went out into the fielde, to gather herbes, and founde, as it were, a wilde vine, and gathered thereof wilde gourdes his garment ful, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew it not. 
\verseNumber{40}So they powred out for the men to eate: and when they did eate of the pottage, they cryed out, and sayde, O thou man of God, death is in the pot: and they could not eate thereof. 
\verseNumber{41}Then he said, Bring meale. And hee cast it into the potte, and sayd, Powre out for the people, that they may eate: and there was none euill in the pot. 
\verseNumber{42}Then came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, euen twenty loaues of barley, and full eares of corne in the huske. And hee saide, Giue vnto the people, that they may eate. 
\verseNumber{43}And his seruant answered, How shoulde I set this before an hundreth men? He sayd againe, Giue it vnto the people, that they may eate: for thus sayth the Lord, They shall eate, and there shall remaine. 
\verseNumber{44}So he set it before them, and they did eate, and left ouer, according to the word of the Lord.

\chapterNumber{5}Now was there one Naaman captaine of the hoste of the King of Aram, a great man, and honourable in the sight of his lorde, because that by him the Lord had deliuered the Aramites. He also was a mightie man and valiant, but a leper. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Aramites had gone out by bands, and had taken a litle mayde of the land of Israel, and shee serued Naamans wife. 
\verseNumber{3}And she sayd vnto her mistres, Would God my lord were with the Prophet that is in Samaria, he would soone deliuer him of his leprosie. 
\verseNumber{4}And he went in, and tolde his lorde, saying, Thus and thus saith the mayde that is of the land of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And the King of Aram sayde, Goe thy way thither, and I will send a letter vnto the King of Israel. And he departed, and tooke with him ten talents of siluer, and sixe thousand pieces of golde, and ten change of rayments, 
\verseNumber{6}And brought the letter to the King of Israel to this effect, Now when this letter is come vnto thee, vnderstand, that I haue sent thee Naaman my seruant, that thou maiest heale him of his leprosie. 
\verseNumber{7}And when the King of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and sayde, Am I God, to kill and to giue life, that hee doth send to mee, that I should heale a man from his leprosie? wherfore consider, I pray you, and see howe he seeketh a quarel against me. 
\verseNumber{8}But when Elisha the man of God had heard that the King of Israel had rent his clothes, hee sent vnto the King, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall knowe that there is a Prophet in Israel. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his charets, and stoode at the doore of the house of Elisha. 
\verseNumber{10}And Elisha sent a messenger vnto him, saying, Go and wash thee in Iorden seuen times, and thy flesh shall come againe to thee, and thou shalt be clensed. 
\verseNumber{11}But Naaman was wroth and went away, and sayde, Beholde, I thought with my selfe, Hee will surely come out, and stande, and call on the Name of the Lord his God and put his hand on the place, and heale the leprosie. 
\verseNumber{12}Are not Abanah and Pharpar, riuers of Damascus, better then all the waters of Israel? may I not washe mee in them, and bee cleansed? so hee turned, and departed in displeasure. 
\verseNumber{13}But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and sayd, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing, wouldest thou not haue done it? howe much rather then, when hee sayth to thee, Wash and be cleane? 
\verseNumber{14}Then went he downe, and washed him selfe seuen times in Iorden, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came againe, like vnto ye flesh of a litle child, and he was cleane. 
\verseNumber{15}And hee turned againe to the man of God, hee, and all his companie, and came and stood before him, and sayd, Behold, now I knowe that there is no God in all the world, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a reward of thy seruant. 
\verseNumber{16}But hee sayde, As the Lord liueth (before whom I stand) I wil not receiue it. And he would haue constrained him to receiue it, but he refused. 
\verseNumber{17}Moreouer Naaman sayde, Shall there not be giuen to thy seruant two mules loade of this earth? for thy seruant will henceforth offer neither burnt sacrifice nor offring vnto any other god, saue vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Herein the Lord bee mercifull vnto thy seruant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon, to worship there, and leaneth on mine hand, and I bowe my selfe in the house of Rimmon: when I doe bowe downe, I say, in the house of Rimmon, the Lord be mercifull vnto thy seruant in this point. 
\verseNumber{19}Vnto whome he saide, Goe in peace. So he departed from him about halfe a dayes iourney of grounde. 
\verseNumber{20}And Gehazi the seruant of Elisha the man of God sayde, Beholde, my master hath spared this Aramite Naaman, receiuing not those things at his hand that he brought: as the Lord liueth, I will runne after him, and take somewhat of him. 
\verseNumber{21}So Gehazi followed speedily after Naaman. And when Naaman sawe him running after him, he light downe from the charet to meete him, and said, Is all well? 
\verseNumber{22}And he answered, All is well: my master hath set me, saying, Behold, there be come to me, euen nowe from mount Ephraim two yong men of the children of the Prophets: giue them, I pray thee, a talent of siluer, and two change of garmets. 
\verseNumber{23}And Naaman saide, Yea, take two talents: and he compelled him, and bound two talents of siluer in two bagges, with two change of garments, and gaue them vnto two of his seruants, that they might beare them before him. 
\verseNumber{24}And when he came to the towre, he tooke them out of their handes, and laide them in the house, and sent away the men: and they departed. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he went in, and stoode before his master. And Elisha said vnto him, Whence commest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy seruant went no whither. 
\verseNumber{26}But he saide vnto him, Went not mine heart with thee when the man turned againe from his charet to meete thee? Is this a time to take money, and to receiue garments, and oliues, and vineyardes, and sheepe, and oxen, and men seruants, and maide seruants?

\chapterNumber{6}And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs. 
\verseNumber{2}Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe. 
\verseNumber{3}And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe. 
\verseNumber{4}So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood. 
\verseNumber{5}And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed. 
\verseNumber{6}And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme. 
\verseNumber{7}Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe. 
\verseNumber{10}So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise. 
\verseNumber{11}And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel? 
\verseNumber{12}Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber. 
\verseNumber{13}And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan. 
\verseNumber{14}So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe? 
\verseNumber{16}And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha. 
\verseNumber{18}So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha. 
\verseNumber{19}And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria. 
\verseNumber{20}And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria. 
\verseNumber{21}And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them? 
\verseNumber{22}And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master. 
\verseNumber{23}And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel. 
\verseNumber{24}But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria. 
\verseNumber{25}So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer. 
\verseNumber{26}And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King. 
\verseNumber{27}And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse? 
\verseNumber{28}Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe, 
\verseNumber{29}So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne. 
\verseNumber{30}And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh) 
\verseNumber{31}And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day. 
\verseNumber{32}(Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.)

\chapterNumber{7}Then Elisha saide, Heare ye the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, To morowe this time a measure of fine floure shalbe solde for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria. 
\verseNumber{2}Then a prince, on whose hande the King leaned, answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, could this thing come to passe? And he said, Beholde, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe there were foure leprous men at the entring in of the gate: and they saide one to an other, Why sitte we here vntill we die? 
\verseNumber{4}If we say, We will enter into the citie, the famine is in the citie, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, we dye also. Nowe therefore come, and let vs fall into the campe of the Aramites: if they saue our liues, we shall liue: and if they kill vs, we are but dead. 
\verseNumber{5}So they rose vp in the twilight, to goe to the campe of the Aramites: and when they were come to the vtmost part of the campe of the Aramites, loe, there was no man there. 
\verseNumber{6}For the Lord had caused the campe of the Aramites to heare a noyse of charets and a noise of horses, and a noise of a great armie, so that they sayde one to another, Beholde, the King of Israel hath hired against vs the Kings of the Hittites, and the Kings of the Egyptians to come vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tentes and their horses, and their asses, euen the campe as it was, and fledde for their liues. 
\verseNumber{8}And when these lepers came to the vtmost part of the campe, they entred into one tent, and did eate and drinke, and caryed thence siluer and golde, and raiment, and went and hid it: after they returned, and entred into another tent, and caryed thence also, and went and hid it. 
\verseNumber{9}Then saide one to another, We doe not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we holde our peace. if we tary till day light, some mischiefe will come vpon vs. Nowe therefore, come, let vs goe, and tell the Kings housholde. 
\verseNumber{10}So they came, and called vnto the porters of the citie, and tolde them, saying, We came to the campe of the Aramites, and loe, there was no man there, neither voyce of man, but horses tyed and asses tyed: and the tents are as they were. 
\verseNumber{11}And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the King arose in the night, and saide vnto his seruants, I wil shew you now, what the Aramites haue done vnto vs. They know that we are affamished, therefore they are gone out of the campe to hide them selues in the fielde, saying, When they come out of the citie, we shall catch them aliue, and get into the citie. 
\verseNumber{13}And one of his seruants answered, and said, Let me take now fiue of the horses that remaine, and are left in the citie, (behold, they are euen as all the multitude of Israel that are left therein: beholde, I say, they are as the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and we wil send to see. 
\verseNumber{14}So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see. 
\verseNumber{15}And they went after them vnto Iorden, and loe, all the way was full of clothes and vessels which the Aramites had cast from them in their hast: and the messengers returned, and told ye King. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the people went out and spoyled the campe of the Aramites: so a measure of fine floure was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel according to the word of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}And the King gaue the prince (on whose hande he leaned) the charge of the gate, and the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed, as the man of God had saide, which spake it, when the King came downe to him. 
\verseNumber{18}And it came to passe, as the man of God had spoken to the King, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine floure shall be at a shekel, to morowe about this time in the gate of Samaria. 
\verseNumber{19}But the prince had answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, coulde it come so to passe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.

\verseNumber{29}Howbeit euery nation made their gods, and put them in the houses of the hie places, which the Samaritanes had made, euery nation in their cities, wherein they dwelt.

\verseNumber{31}And the Auims made Nibhaz, and Tartak: and the Sepharuims burnt their children in the fire to Adrammelech, and Anammelech the gods of Sepharuaim.

\verseNumber{35}And with whom the Lord had made a couenant, and charged them, saying, Feare none other gods, nor bowe your selues to them, nor serue them, nor sacrifice to them: 
\verseNumber{36}But feare the Lord which brought you out of the land of Egypt with great power, and a stretched out arme: him feare ye, and worshippe him, and sacrifice to him.

\verseNumber{24}For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen? 
\verseNumber{25}Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall. 
\verseNumber{27}But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you? 
\verseNumber{28}So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{29}Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand. 
\verseNumber{30}Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{31}Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well, 
\verseNumber{32}Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs. 
\verseNumber{33}Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur? 
\verseNumber{34}Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand? 
\verseNumber{35}Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand? 
\verseNumber{36}But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not. 
\verseNumber{37}Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{19}And when King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes and put on sackecloth, and came into the house of the Lord, 
\verseNumber{2}And sent Eliakim which was the stewarde of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and the Elders of the Priestes clothed in sackecloth to Isaiah the Prophet the sonne of Amoz. 
\verseNumber{3}And they said vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke, and blasphemie: for the childre are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth. 
\verseNumber{4}If so be the Lord thy God hath heard all the wordes of Rabshakeh, whome the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left. 
\verseNumber{5}So the seruants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 
\verseNumber{6}And Isaiah said vnto them, So shall ye say to your master, Thus sayeth the Lord, Be not afraide of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me. 
\verseNumber{7}Beholde, I will sende a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne lande: and I will cause him to fall by the sworde in his owne lande. 
\verseNumber{8}So Rabshakeh returned, and founde the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 
\verseNumber{9}He heard also men say of Tirhakah King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: he therefore departed and sent other messengers vnto Hezekiah, saying, 
\verseNumber{10}Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, and say, Let not thy God deceiue thee in whome thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be deliuered into the hande of the King of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{11}Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all landes, how they haue destroyed them: and shalt thou be deliuered? 
\verseNumber{12}Haue the gods of the heathen deliuered them which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were in Thelasar? 
\verseNumber{13}Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Shepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? 
\verseNumber{14}So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hande of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went vp into the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and saide, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth. 
\verseNumber{16}Lord, bow downe thine eare, and heare: Lord open thine eyes and behold, and heare the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{17}Trueth it is, Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed the nations and their landes, 
\verseNumber{18}And haue set fire on their gods: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood and stone: therefore they destroyed them. 
\verseNumber{19}Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, saue thou vs out of his hande, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou, O Lord, art onely God. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I haue heard that which thou hast prayed me, concerning Saneherib King of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{21}This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, O Virgine, daughter of Zion, he hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: O daughter of Ierusalem, he hath shaken his head at thee. 
\verseNumber{22}Whome hast thou railed on? and whome hast thou blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the Holie one of Israel. 
\verseNumber{23}By thy messengers thou hast rayled on the Lord, and said, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the toppe of the mountaines, by the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe into the lodging of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. 
\verseNumber{24}I haue digged, and drunke the waters of others, and with the plant of my feete haue I dried all the floods closed in. 
\verseNumber{25}Hast thou not heard, howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I nowe bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed? 
\verseNumber{26}Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afraid, and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field, and greene herbe, or grasse on ye house toppes, or as corne blasted before it be growen. 
\verseNumber{27}I knowe thy dwelling, yea, thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy furie against me. 
\verseNumber{28}And because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vp to mine eares, I will put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lippes, and will bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest. 
\verseNumber{29}And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such things as growe of them selues, and the next yeere such as growe without sowing, and the third yeere sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyardes, and eate the fruites thereof. 
\verseNumber{30}And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downewarde, and beare fruite vpwarde. 
\verseNumber{31}For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and some that shall escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this. 
\verseNumber{32}Wherefore thus saith the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrowe there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it: 
\verseNumber{33}But he shall returne the way he came, and shall not come into this citie, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{34}For I will defende this citie to saue it for mine owne sake, and for Dauid my seruants sake. 
\verseNumber{35}And the same night the Angell of the Lord went out and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth foure score and fiue thousande: so when they rose earely in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. 
\verseNumber{36}So Saneherib King of Asshur departed, and went his way, and returned, and dwelt in Nineueh. 
\verseNumber{37}And as he was in the Temple worshipping Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sworde: and they escaped into the land of Ararat, and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto death: and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz came to him, and said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Put thine house in an order: for thou shalt die, and not liue. 
\verseNumber{2}Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}I beseech thee, O Lord, remember nowe, howe I haue walked before thee in trueth and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore. 
\verseNumber{4}And afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle of the court, the worde of the Lord came to him, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}Turne againe, and tell Hezekiah the captaine of my people, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I haue healed thee, and ye third day thou shalt go vp to ye house of ye Lord, 
\verseNumber{6}And I wil adde vnto thy dayes fiftene yere, and wil deliuer thee and this citie out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and will defende this citie for mine owne sake, and for Dauid my seruats sake. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Isaiah sayde, Take a lumpe of dry figges. And they tooke it, and layed it on the boyle, and he recouered. 
\verseNumber{8}For Hezekiah had saide vnto Isaiah, What shalbe the signe that the Lord will heale me, and that I shall goe vp into the house of the Lord the thirde day? 
\verseNumber{9}And Isaiah answered, This signe shalt thou haue of the Lord, that the Lord will doe that he hath spoken, Wilt thou that the shadowe goe forwarde ten degrees, or go backe ten degrees? 
\verseNumber{10}And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadowe to passe forward ten degrees: not so then, but let ye shadow go backe ten degrees. 
\verseNumber{11}And Isaiah the Prophet called vnto the Lord, and he brought againe the shadowe ten degrees backe by the degrees whereby it had gone downe in the diall of Ahaz. 
\verseNumber{12}The same season Berodach Baladan the sonne of Baladan King of Babel, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard howe that Hezekiah was sicke. 
\verseNumber{13}And Hezekiah heard them, and shewed them all his treasure house, to wit, the siluer, and the golde, and the spices, and the precious oyntment, and all the house of his armour, and al that was founde in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, and in all his realme, that Hezekiah shewed them not. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Isaiah the Prophet came vnto King Hezekiah, and saide vnto him, What saide these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, They be come from a farre countrey, euen from Babel. 
\verseNumber{15}Then saide he, What haue they seene in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house haue they seene: there is nothing among my treasures, that I haue not shewed the. 
\verseNumber{16}And Isaiah said vnto Hezekiah, Heare the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}Beholde, the dayes come, that all that is in thine house, and what so euer thy fathers haue layed vp in store vnto this day, shall be caryed into Babel: Nothing shall be left, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}And of thy sonnes, that shall proceede out of thee, and which thou shalt beget, shall they take away, and they shalbe eunuches in the palace of the King of Babel. 
\verseNumber{19}Then Hezekiah said vnto Isaiah, The word of the Lord which thou hast spoken, is good: for saide he, Shall it not be good, if peace and trueth be in my dayes? 
\verseNumber{20}Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and all his valiant deedes, and howe he made a poole and a cundite, and brought water into the citie, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? 
\verseNumber{21}And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his steade. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}Manasseh was twelue yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned fiftie and fiue yeere in Ierusalem: his mothers name also was Hephzi-bah. 
\verseNumber{2}And he did euill in the sight of the Lord after the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had destroyed: and he erected vp altars for Baal, and made a groue, as did Ahab King of Israel, and worshipped all the hoste of heauen and serued them. 
\verseNumber{4}Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, of the which the Lord saide, In Ierusalem will I put my Name. 
\verseNumber{5}And he built altars for al the hoste of ye heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire, and gaue him selfe to witchcraft and sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits and were soothsayers, and did much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him. 
\verseNumber{7}And he set the image of the groue, that he had made, in the house, whereof ye Lord had saide to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer. 
\verseNumber{8}Neither will I make the feete of Israel, mooue any more out of the lande, which I gaue their fathers: so that they will obserue and doe all that I haue commanded them, and according to all the Lawe that my seruant Moses commanded them. 
\verseNumber{9}Yet they obeyed not, but Manasseh ledde them out of the way, to doe more wickedly then did the heathen people, whom the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore the Lord spake by his seruants the Prophets, saying, 
\verseNumber{11}Because that Manasseh King of Iudah hath done such abominations, and hath wrought more wickedly then al that the Amorites (which were before him) did, and hath made Iudah sinne also with his idoles, 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring an euill vpon Ierusalem and Iudah, that who so heareth of it, both his eares shall tingle. 
\verseNumber{13}And I will stretch ouer Ierusalem the line of Samaria, and the plommet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Ierusalem, as a man wipeth a dish, which he wipeth, and turneth it vpside downe. 
\verseNumber{14}And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliuer them into the hande of their enemies, and they shalbe robbed and spoyled of all their aduersaries, 
\verseNumber{15}Because they haue done euil in my sight, and haue prouoked mee to anger, since the time their fathers came out of Egypt vntill this day. 
\verseNumber{16}Moreouer Manasseh shed innocent blood exceeding much, till hee replenished Ierusalem from corner to corner, beside his sinne wherwith he made Iudah to sinne, and to doe euill in the sight of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and all that hee did, and his sinne that he sinned, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? 
\verseNumber{18}And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, euen in the garden of Vzza: and Amon his sonne reigned in his steade.

\verseNumber{20}And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did. 
\verseNumber{21}For hee walked in all the way that his father walked in, and serued the idoles that his father serued, and worshipped them. 
\verseNumber{22}And he forsooke the Lord God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{23}And the seruantes of Amon conspired against him, and slewe the King in his owne house. 
\verseNumber{24}And the people of the land slewe all them that had conspired against King Amon, and the people made Iosiah his sonne King in his steade. 
\verseNumber{25}Concerning the rest of the actes of Amon, which he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah? 
\verseNumber{26}And they buried him in his sepulchre in the garden of Vzza: and Iosiah his sonne reigned in his steade.

\verseNumber{3}And in the eighteenth yeere of King Iosiah, the King sent Shaphan the sonne of Azaliah the sonne of Meshullam the chanceller to ye house of the Lord, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Goe vp to Hilkiah the high Priest, that hee may summe the siluer which is brought into the house of the Lord, which the keepers of the doore haue gathered of the people. 
\verseNumber{5}And let them deliuer it into the hande of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord: let them giue it to them that worke in the house of the Lord, to repaire the decayed places of the house: 
\verseNumber{6}To wit, vnto the artificers and carpenters and masons, and to bye timber, and hewed stone to repaire the house. 
\verseNumber{7}Howebeit, let no rekoning bee made with them of the money, that is deliuered into their hand: for they deale faithfully. 
\verseNumber{8}And Hilkiah the high Priest sayde vnto Shaphan the chanceller, I haue found the booke of the Lawe in the house of the Lord: and Hilkiah gaue the booke to Shaphan, and hee reade it. 
\verseNumber{9}So Shaphan the chanceller came to ye King, and brought him word againe, and saide, Thy seruants haue gathered the money, that was found in the house, and haue deliuered it vnto the hands of them that doe the worke, and haue the ouersight of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}Also Shaphan the chanceller shewed the King saying, Hilkiah the Priest hath deliuered me a booke. And Shaphan read it before the King. 
\verseNumber{11}And when the King had heard the wordes of the booke of the Law, he rent his clothes. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore the King commanded Hilkiah the Priest, and Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan, and Achbor the sonne of Michaiah, and Shaphan the chanceller, and Asahiah the Kings seruant, saying, 
\verseNumber{13}Go ye and inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Iudah concerning the wordes of this booke that is founde: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against vs, because our fathers haue not obeyed the wordes of this booke, to doe according vnto all that which is written therein for vs. 
\verseNumber{14}So Hilkiah the Priest and Ahikam, and Achbor and Shaphan, and Asahiah went vnto Huldah the Prophetesse the wife of Shallum, ye sonne of Tikuah, the sonne of Harhas keeper of the wardrobe: (and she dwelt in Ierusalem in the colledge) and they communed with her. 
\verseNumber{15}And shee answered them, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Tel the man that sent you to mee, 
\verseNumber{16}Thus sayth the Lord, Behold, I wil bring euill vpon this place, and on the inhabitants thereof, euen al the words of the booke which ye King of Iudah hath read, 
\verseNumber{17}Because they haue forsaken mee, and haue burnt incense vnto other gods, to anger me with all ye works of their hands: my wrath also shalbe kindled against this place and shall not be queched: 
\verseNumber{18}But to the King of Iudah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, so shall ye say vnto him, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, The wordes that thou hast heard, shall come to passe. 
\verseNumber{19}But because thine heart did melt, and thou hast humbled thy selfe before the Lord, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants of the same, to wit, that it should be destroyed and accursed, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me, I haue also heard it, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}Beholde therefore, I wil gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be put in thy graue in peace, and thine eyes shall not see all the euil, which I will bring vpon this place. Thus they brought the King worde againe.

\verseNumber{3}And the King stood by the pillar, and made a couenant before the Lord, that they shoulde walke after the Lord, and keepe his commandements, and his testimonies, and his statutes with all their heart, and with all their soule, that they might accomplish the wordes of this couenant written in this booke. And all the people stood to the couenant. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the King commanded Hilkiah the hie Priest and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the doore, to bring out of ye Temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the groue, and for all the hoste of heauen, and he burnt them without Ierusalem in the fieldes of Kedron, and caryed the pouder of them into Beth-el. 
\verseNumber{5}And he put downe the Chemarims, whom the Kings of Iudah had founded to burne incense in the hie places, and in the cities of Iudah, and about Ierusalem, and also them that burnt incense vnto Baal, to the sunne and to the moone, and to the planets, and to all the hoste of heauen. 
\verseNumber{6}And he brought out the groue from the Temple of the Lord without Ierusalem vnto the valley of Kedron, and burnt it in the valley Kedron, and stampt it to pouder, and cast the dust thereof vpon the graues of the children of the people. 
\verseNumber{7}And hee brake downe the houses of the Sodomites, that were in the house of the Lord, where the women woue hangings for the groue. 
\verseNumber{8}Also he brought all the priests out of the cities of Iudah, and defiled the hie places where the Priests had burnt incense, euen from Geba to Beer-sheba, and destroyed the hie places of the gates, that were in the entring in of the gate of Ioshua the gouernour of the citie, which was at the left hand of the gate of the citie. 
\verseNumber{9}Neuerthelesse the Priests of the hie places came not vp to the altar of the Lord in Ierusalem, saue onely they did eate of the vnleauened bread among their brethren. 
\verseNumber{10}He defiled also Topheth, which was in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man shoulde make his sonne or his daughter passe through the fire to Molech. 
\verseNumber{11}He put downe also the horses that the Kings of Iudah had giuen to the sunne at the entring in of the house of the Lord, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the eunuche, which was ruler of the suburbes, and burnt the charets of the sunne with fire. 
\verseNumber{12}And the altars that were on the top of the chamber of Ahaz, which the Kings of Iudah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the Lord did the King breake downe, and hasted thence, and cast the dust of them in the brooke Kedron. 
\verseNumber{13}Moreouer the King defiled the hie places that were before Ierusalem and on the right hand of the mount of corruption (which Salomon the King of Israel had buylt for Ashtoreth the idole of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the idole of the Moabites, and for Milchom the abomination of the children of Ammon) 
\verseNumber{14}And he brake the images in pieces, and cut downe the groues and filled their places with the bones of men. 
\verseNumber{15}Furthermore the altar that was at Beth-el, and the hie place made by Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, both this altar and also the hie place, brake he downe, and burnt the hie place, and stampt it to powder and burnt the groue. 
\verseNumber{16}And as Iosiah turned himselfe, he spied the graues, that were in the mount, and sent and tooke the bones out of the graues, and burnt them vpon the altar and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord, that the man of God proclaimed, which cryed the same wordes. 
\verseNumber{17}Then he sayde, What title is that which I see? And the men of the citie sayd vnto him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Iudah, and tolde these things that thou hast done to the altar of Beth-el. 
\verseNumber{18}Then sayde he, Let him alone: let none remooue his bones. So his bones were saued with the bones of the Prophet that came from Samaria. 
\verseNumber{19}Iosiah also tooke away all the houses of the hie places, which were in the cities of Samaria, which the Kings of Israel had made to anger the Lord, and did to them according to all the factes that he had done in Beth-el. 
\verseNumber{20}And he sacrificed all the Priests of the hie places, that were there vpon the altars, and burnt mens bones vpon them, and returned to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{21}Then the king commanded all the people, saying, Keepe the passeouer vnto the Lord your God, as it is written in the booke of this couenant. 
\verseNumber{22}And there was no Passeouer holden like that from the dayes of the Iudges that iudged Israel, nor in all the dayes of the Kinges of Israel, and of the Kings of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{23}And in the eightenth yere of King Iosiah was this Passeouer celebrated to the Lord in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{24}Iosiah also tooke away them that had familiar spirits, and the soothsayers, and the images, and the idoles, and al the abominations that were espied in the lande of Iudah and in Ierusalem, to performe the wordes of the Lawe, which were written in the booke that Hilkiah the Priest found in the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{25}Like vnto him was there no King before him, that turned to the Lord with al his heart, and with all his soule, and with all his might according to all the Lawe of Moses, neither after him arose there anie like him. 
\verseNumber{26}Notwithstanding the Lord turned not from the fiercenesse of his great wrath wherewith he was angrie against Iudah, because of all the prouocatios wherwith Manasseh had prouoked him. 
\verseNumber{27}Therefore the Lord saide, I will put Iudah also out of my sight, as I haue put away Israel, and will cast off this citie Ierusalem, which I haue chosen, and the house whereof I said, My name shalbe there.

\verseNumber{24}And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and sayd vnto them, Feare not to be the seruants of the Caldees: dwell in the land, and serue the King of Babel, and ye shalbe well.

\chapterNumber{15}And Dauid made him houses in the citie of Dauid, and prepared a place for the Arke of God, and pitched for it a tent. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Dauid saide, None ought to carie the Arke of God, but the Leuites: for the Lord hath chosen them to beare the Arke of the Lord, and to minister vnto him for euer. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid gathered all Israel together to Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the Lord vnto his place, which he had ordeined for it. 
\verseNumber{4}And Dauid assembled the sonnes of Aaron, and the Leuites. 
\verseNumber{5}Of the sonnes of Kohath, Vriel the chiefe, and his brethren sixe score. 
\verseNumber{6}Of the sonnes of Merari, Asaiah the chiefe, and his brethren two hundreth and twentie.

\verseNumber{11}And Dauid called Zadok and Abiathar the Priestes, and of the Leuites, Vriel, Asaiah and Ioel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab: 
\verseNumber{12}And he saide vnto them, Ye are the chiefe fathers of the Leuites: sanctifie your selues, and your brethren, and bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel vnto the place that I haue prepared for it. 
\verseNumber{13}For because ye were not there at the first, the Lord our God made a breach among vs: for we sought him not after due order. 
\verseNumber{14}So the Priestes and the Leuites sanctified them selues to bring vp the Arke of the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}And the sonnes of the Leuites bare the Arke of God vpon their shoulders with the barres, as Moses had commanded, according to the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}And Dauid spake to the chiefe of the Leuites, that they should appoint certaine of their brethren to sing with instruments of musike, with violes and harpes, and cymbales, that they might make a sounde, and lift vp their voyce with ioye. 
\verseNumber{17}So the Leuites appointed Heman the sonne of Ioel, and of his brethren Asaph the sonne of Berechiah, and of the sonnes of Merari their brethren, Ethan the sonne of Kushaiah, 
\verseNumber{18}And with them their brethren in the seconde degree, Zechariah, Ben, and Iaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneah, and Obed Edom, and Ieiel the porters. 
\verseNumber{19}So Heman, Asaph and Ethan were fingers to make a sounde with cymbales of brasse, 
\verseNumber{20}And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Vnni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah with violes on Alamoth,

\verseNumber{22}But Chenaniah the chiefe of the Leuites had the charge, bearing ye burden in the charge, for he was able to instruct. 
\verseNumber{23}And Berechiah and Elkanah were porters for the Arke. 
\verseNumber{24}And Shecaniah and Iehoshaphat and Nethaneel and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the Priestes did blowe with trumpets before the Arke of God, and Obed Edom and Ieiiah were porters for the Arke. 
\verseNumber{25}So Dauid and the Elders of Israel and the captaines of thousandes went to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the house of Obed Edom with ioye. 
\verseNumber{26}And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes. 
\verseNumber{27}And Dauid had on him a linen garment, as all the Leuites that bare the Arke, and the singers and Chenaniah that had the chiefe charge of the singers: and vpon Dauid was a linnen Ephod. 
\verseNumber{28}Thus all Israel brought vp the Arke of the Lordes couenant with shouting and sounde of cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbales, making a sound with violes and with harpes. 
\verseNumber{29}And when the Arke of the couenant of the Lord came into the citie of Dauid, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at a windowe, and sawe King Dauid dauncing and playing, and she despised him in her heart. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}So they brought in the Arke of God, and set it in the middes of the Tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it, and they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God. 
\verseNumber{2}And when Dauid had made an ende of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}And he dealt to euery one of Israel both man and woman, to euery one a cake of breade, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of wine. 
\verseNumber{4}And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to rehearse and to thanke and prayse the Lord God of Israel: 
\verseNumber{5}Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zechariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, euen Ieiel with instruments, violes and harpes, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbales, 
\verseNumber{6}And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.

\verseNumber{11}Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually. 
\verseNumber{12}Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth, 
\verseNumber{13}O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen. 
\verseNumber{14}He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth. 
\verseNumber{15}Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations: 
\verseNumber{16}Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak: 
\verseNumber{17}And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant, 
\verseNumber{18}Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance. 
\verseNumber{19}When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein, 
\verseNumber{20}And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people, 
\verseNumber{21}He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying, 
\verseNumber{22}Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme. 
\verseNumber{23}Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day. 
\verseNumber{24}Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people. 
\verseNumber{25}For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods. 
\verseNumber{26}For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens. 
\verseNumber{27}Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place. 
\verseNumber{28}Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power. 
\verseNumber{29}Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{30}Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue. 
\verseNumber{31}Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth. 
\verseNumber{32}Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it. 
\verseNumber{33}Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth. 
\verseNumber{34}Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer. 
\verseNumber{35}And say ye, Saue vs, O God, our saluation, and gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may prayse thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise. 
\verseNumber{36}Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord. 
\verseNumber{37}Then he left there before the Arke of the Lordes couenant Asaph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euery day: 
\verseNumber{38}And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.

\chapterNumber{17}Nowe afterward when Dauid dwelt in his house, he saide to Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, I dwell in an house of cedar trees, but the Arke of the Lordes couenant remaineth vnder curtaines. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Nathan said to Dauid, Do all that is in thine heart: for God is with thee. 
\verseNumber{3}And the same night euen the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Goe, and tell Dauid my seruant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not buylde me an house to dwell in: 
\verseNumber{5}For I haue dwelt in no house, since the day that I brought out the childre of Israel vnto this daye, but I haue bene from tent to tent, and from habitation to habitation. 
\verseNumber{6}Wheresoeuer I haue walked with all Israel spake I one word to any of the iudges of Israel (whome I commanded to feede my people) saying, Why haue ye not built mee an house of cedar trees? 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe therefore thus shalt thou say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecoat and from following the sheepe, that thou shouldest bee a prince ouer my people Israel. 
\verseNumber{8}And I haue bene with thee whithersoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a name, like the name of the great men that are in the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}(Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in their place, and moue no more: neither shall the wicked people vexe them any more, as at the beginning, 
\verseNumber{10}And since the time that I commanded iudges ouer my people Israel) And I wil subdue all thine enemies: therefore I say vnto thee, that the Lord wil buylde thee an house. 
\verseNumber{11}And when thy dayes shalbe fulfilled to go with thy fathers, then will I rayse vp thy seede after thee, which shalbe of thy sonnes, and will stablish his kingdome. 
\verseNumber{12}He shall builde me an house, and I will stablish his throne for euer. 
\verseNumber{13}I wil be his father, and he shalbe my sonne, aud I will not take my mercie away from him, as I tooke it from him that was before thee. 
\verseNumber{14}But I wil establish him in mine house, and in my kingdome for euer, and his throne shalbe stablished for euer, 
\verseNumber{15}According to all these wordes, and according to al this vision. So Nathan spake to Dauid. 
\verseNumber{16}And Dauid the King went in and sate before the Lord and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 
\verseNumber{17}Yet thou esteeming this a small thing, O God, hast also spoken concerning the house of thy seruaut for a great while, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of hie degree, O Lord God. 
\verseNumber{18}What can Dauid desire more of thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant. 
\verseNumber{19}O Lord, for thy seruantes sake, euen according to thine heart hast thou done all this great thing to declare all magnificence. 
\verseNumber{20}Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we haue heard with our eares. 
\verseNumber{21}Moreouer what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whose God went to redeeme them to be his people, and to make thy selfe a Name, and to doe great and terrible things by casting out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast deliuered out of Egypt? 
\verseNumber{22}For thou hast ordeined thy people Israel to be thine owne people for euer, and thou Lord art become their God. 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore nowe Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and concerning his house, be confirmed for euer, and doe as thou hast sayd, 
\verseNumber{24}And let thy name be stable and magnified for euer, that it may be sayd, The Lord of hostes, God of Israel, is the God of Israel, and let the house of Dauid thy seruant bee stablished before thee. 
\verseNumber{25}For thou, O my God, hast reueiled vnto the eare of thy seruant, that thou wilt builde him an house: therefore thy seruant hath bene bolde to pray before thee. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore nowe Lord (for thou art God, and hast spoken this goodnesse vnto thy seruant) 
\verseNumber{27}Now therfore, it hath pleased thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may bee before thee for euer: for thou, O Lord, hast blessed it, and it shalbe blessed for euer.

\chapterNumber{18}And after this Dauid smote the Philistims, and subdued them, and tooke Gath, and the villages thereof out of the hand of the Philistims. 
\verseNumber{2}And he smote Moab, and the Moabites became Dauids seruants, and brought giftes. 
\verseNumber{3}And Dauid smote Hadarezer King of Zobah vnto Hamath, as he went to stablish his border by the riuer Perath. 
\verseNumber{4}And Dauid tooke from him a thousand charets, and seuen thousand horsemen, and twentie thousand footemen, and destroyed all the charets, but he reserued of them an hundreth charets. 
\verseNumber{5}Then came the Aramites of Damascus to succour Hadarezer King of Zobah, but Dauid slewe of the Aramites two and twentie thousand. 
\verseNumber{6}And Dauid put a garison in Aram of Damascus, and the Aramites became Dauids seruants, and brought giftes: and the Lord preserued Dauid wheresoeuer he went. 
\verseNumber{7}And Dauid tooke the shieldes of gold that were of the seruants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{8}And from Tibhath, and from Chun (cities of Hadarezer) brought Dauid exceeding much brasse, wherewith Salomon made the brasen Sea, and the pillars and the vessels of brasse. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Tou King of Hamath heard howe Dauid had smitten all the hoste of Hadarezer King of Zobah: 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore he sent Hadoram his sonne to King Dauid, to salute him, and to reioyce with him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and beaten him (for Tou had warre with Hadarezer) who brought all vessels of golde and siluer and brasse. 
\verseNumber{11}And King Dauid did dedicate them vnto the Lord, with the siluer and golde that hee brought from all the nations, from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistims, and from Amalek. 
\verseNumber{12}And Abishai the sonne of Zeruiah smote of Edom in the salt valley eighteene thousand, 
\verseNumber{13}And he put a garison in Edom, and all the Edomites became Dauids seruantes: and the Lord preserued Dauid wheresoeuer he went. 
\verseNumber{14}So Dauid reigned ouer all Israel, and executed iudgement and iustice to all his people. 
\verseNumber{15}And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah was ouer the hoste, and Iehoshaphat the sonne of Ahilud recorder, 
\verseNumber{16}And Zadok the sonne of Ahitub, and Abimelech the sonne of Abiathar were the Priests, and Shausha the Scribe,

\chapterNumber{19}After this also Nahash the King of the children of Ammon dyed, and his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\verseNumber{2}And Dauid said, I will shew kindnesse vnto Hanun the sonne of Nahash, because his father shewed kindnesse vnto me. And Dauid sent messengers to comfort him for his father. So the seruants of Dauid came into the lande of the children of Ammon to Hanun to comfort him. 
\verseNumber{3}And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that Dauid doeth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters vnto thee? Are not his seruants come to thee to search, to seeke and to spie out the land? 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore Hanun tooke Dauids seruants, and shaued them, and cut off their garments by the halfe vnto the buttocks, and sent them away. 
\verseNumber{5}And there went certaine and tolde Dauid concerning the men: and he sent to meete them (for the men were exceedingly ashamed) and the King saide, Tarie at Iericho, vntill your beardes be growen: then returne. 
\verseNumber{6}When the children of Ammon saw that they stanke in the sight of Dauid, then sent Hanun and the children of Ammon a thousande talents of siluer to hire them charets and horsemen out of Aram Naharaim and out of Aram Maachah, and out of Zobah. 
\verseNumber{7}And they hired them two and thirty thousande charets, and the King of Maachah and his people, which came and pitched before Medeba: and the children of Ammon gathered themselues together from their cities, and came to the battell. 
\verseNumber{8}And when Dauid heard, he sent Ioab and all the hoste of the valiant men. 
\verseNumber{9}And the children of Ammon came out, and set their battell in aray at the gate of the citie. And the Kings that were come, were by them selues in the fielde. 
\verseNumber{10}When Ioab saw that the front of the battel was against him before and behinde, then he chose out of all the choyse of Israel, and set him selfe in aray to meete the Aramites. 
\verseNumber{11}And the rest of the people he deliuered vnto the hande of Abishai his brother, and they put them selues in aray against the children of Ammon. 
\verseNumber{12}And he saide, If Aram be too strong for me, then thou shalt succour me: and if the children of Ammon preuaile against thee, then I wil succour thee. 
\verseNumber{13}Be strong, and let vs shewe our selues valiant for our people, and for the cities of our God, and let the Lord doe that which is good in his owne sight. 
\verseNumber{14}So Ioab and the people that was with him, came neere before the Aramites vnto the battel, and they fled before him. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the children of Ammon sawe that the Aramites fled, they fled also before Abishai his brother, and entred into the citie: so Ioab came to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the Aramites sawe that they were discomfited before Israel, they sent messengers and caused the Aramites to come forth that were beyond the riuer: and Shophach the captaine of the hoste of Hadarezer went before them. 
\verseNumber{17}And when it was shewed Dauid, he gathered all Israel, and went ouer Iorden, and came vnto them, and put him selfe in aray against them: And when Dauid had put him selfe in battel aray to meete the Aramites, they fought with him. 
\verseNumber{18}But the Aramites fled before Israel, and Dauid destroyed of the Aramites seuen thousand charets, and fourtie thousand footemen, and killed Shophach the captaine of the hoste.

\chapterNumber{20}And when the yere was expired, in the time that Kings goe out a warfare, Ioab caryed out the strength of the armie, and destroyed the countrey of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah (but Dauid taryed at Ierusalem) and Ioab smote Rabbah and destroyed it. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Dauid tooke the crowne of their King from off his head, and founde it the weight of a talent of golde, with precious stones in it: and it was set on Dauids head, and he brought away the spoyle of the citie exceeding much. 
\verseNumber{3}And he caryed away the people that were in it, and cut them with sawes, and with harowes of yron, and with axes: euen thus did Dauid with all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then Dauid and all the people came againe to Ierusalem.

\verseNumber{6}But the Leuites and Beniamin counted he not among them: for the Kings worde was abominable to Ioab. 
\verseNumber{7}And God was displeased with this thing: therefore he smote Israel. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Dauid saide vnto God, I haue sinned greatly, because I haue done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, remooue the iniquitie of thy seruant: for I haue done very foolishly. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Lord spake vnto Gad Dauids Seer, saying, 
\verseNumber{10}Goe and tell Dauid, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I offer thee three thinges: choose thee one of them, that I may doe it vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{11}So Gad came to Dauid, and sayde vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Take to thee 
\verseNumber{12}Either three yeeres famine, or three moneths to be destroyed before thine aduersaries, and the sworde of thine enemies to take thee, or els the sworde of the Lord and pestilence in the lande three dayes, that the Angel of the Lord may destroy throughout all the coastes of Israel: nowe therefore aduise thee, what word I shall bring againe to him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{13}And Dauid said vnto Gad, I am in a wonderfull strait. let me nowe fall into the hande of the Lord: for his mercies are exceeding great, and let me not fall into the hande of man. 
\verseNumber{14}So the Lord sent a pestilence in Israel, and there fell of Israel seuentie thousande men. 
\verseNumber{15}And God sent the Angel into Ierusalem to destroy it. And as he was destroying, the Lord behelde, and repented of the euill and sayde to the Angel that destroyed, It is nowe ynough, let thine hande cease. Then the Angel of the Lord stoode by the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite. 
\verseNumber{16}And Dauid lift vp his eyes, and sawe the Angel of the Lord stande betweene the earth and the heauen with his sworde drawen in his hand, and stretched out towarde Ierusalem. Then Dauid and the Elders of Israel, which were clothed in sacke, fell vpon their faces. 
\verseNumber{17}And Dauid said vnto God, Is it not I that commanded to nomber the people? It is euen I that haue sinned and haue committed euil, but these sheepe what haue they done? O Lord my God, I beseech thee, let thine hande be on me and on my fathers house, and not on thy people for their destruction. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the Angel of the Lord commanded Gad to say to Dauid, that Dauid should goe vp, and set vp an altar vnto the Lord in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite. 
\verseNumber{19}So Dauid went vp according to the saying of Gad, which he had spoken in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}And Ornan turned about, and sawe the Angel, and his foure sonnes, that were with him, hid them selues, and Ornan thresshed wheat. 
\verseNumber{21}And as Dauid came to Ornan, Ornan looked and sawe Dauid, and went out of the thresshing floore, and bowed himselfe to Dauid with his face to the grounde. 
\verseNumber{22}And Dauid saide to Ornan, Giue me the place of thy thresshing floore, that I may builde an altar therein vnto the Lord: giue it me for sufficient money, that the plague may be stayed from the people. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Ornan saide vnto Dauid, Take it to thee, and let my lord the King do that which seemeth him good: loe, I giue thee bullockes for burnt offrings, and thresshing instruments for wood, and wheat for meate offring, I giue it all. 
\verseNumber{24}And King Dauid saide to Ornan, Not so: but I will bye it for sufficient money: for I wil not take that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt offrings without cost.

\verseNumber{26}And Dauid built there an altar vnto the Lord, and offred burnt offrings, and peace offrings, and called vpon the Lord, and he answered him by fire from heauen vpon the altar of burnt offring.

\chapterNumber{29}Moreouer Dauid the King sayde vnto all the Congregation, God hath chosen Salomon mine onely sonne yong and tender, and the worke is great: for this house is not for man, but for the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{2}Now I haue prepared with all my power for the house of my God, golde for vessels of golde, and siluer for them of siluer, and brasse for things of brasse, yron for things of yron, and wood for things of wood, and onix stones, and stones to be set, and carbuncle stones and of diuers colours, and all precious stones, and marble stones in aboundance. 
\verseNumber{3}Moreouer, because I haue delite in the house of my God, I haue of mine owne golde and siluer, which I haue giuen to the house of my God, beside all that I haue prepared for the house of the Sanctuarie,

\verseNumber{5}The golde for the things of golde, and the siluer for things of siluer, and for all the worke by the handes of artificers: and who is willing to fill his hand to day vnto the Lord?

\verseNumber{10}Therefore Dauid blessed the Lord before all the Congregation, and Dauid sayde, Blessed be thou, O Lord God, of Israel our father, for euer and euer. 
\verseNumber{11}Thine, O Lord, is greatnesse and power, and glory, and victorie and praise: for all that is in heauen and in earth is thine: thine is the kingdome, O Lord, and thou excellest as head ouer all. 
\verseNumber{12}Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest ouer all, and in thine hand is power and strength, and in thine hande it is to make great, and to giue strength vnto all. 
\verseNumber{13}Now therefore our God, we thanke thee, and prayse thy glorious Name. 
\verseNumber{14}But who am I, and what is my people, that we shoulde be able to offer willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee: and of thine owne hand we haue giuen thee. 
\verseNumber{15}For we are stragers before thee, and soiourners, like all our fathers: our dayes are like ye shadowe vpon the earth, and there is none abiding. 
\verseNumber{16}O Lord our God, all this abundance that we haue prepared to buylde thee an house for thine holy Name, is of thine hand and all is thine. 
\verseNumber{17}I knowe also, my God, that thou tryest the heart, and hast pleasure in righteousnesse: I haue offred willingly in the vprightnesse of mine heart all these things: now also haue I seene thy people which are found here, to offer vnto thee willingly with ioy. 
\verseNumber{18}O Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and Israel our fathers, keepe this for euer in the purpose, and the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their hearts vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{19}And giue vnto Salomon my sonne a perfit heart to keepe thy commandements, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to doe all things, and to builde the house which I haue prepared. 
\verseNumber{20}And Dauid said to all the Congregation, Now blesse the Lord your God. And all the Congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed downe their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the King. 
\verseNumber{21}And they offred sacrifices vnto the Lord, and on the morowe after that day, they offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, euen a thousande yong bullocks, a thousand rammes and a thousand sheepe, with their drinke offrings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 
\verseNumber{22}And they did eate and drinke before the Lord the same day with great ioy, and they made Salomon the sonne of Dauid King the seconde time, and anoynted him prince before the Lord, and Zadok for the hie Priest. 
\verseNumber{23}So Salomon sate on the throne of the Lord, as King in steade of Dauid his father, and prospered: and all Israel obeyed him. 
\verseNumber{24}And all the princes and men of power, and all the sonnes of King Dauid submitted them selues vnder King Salomon. 
\verseNumber{25}And the Lord magnified Salomon in dignitie, in the sight of all Israel, and gaue him so glorious a kingdome, as no King had before him in Israel. 
\verseNumber{26}Thus Dauid the sonne of Ishai reigned ouer all Israel. 
\verseNumber{27}And the space that he reigned ouer Israel, was fourtie yeere: seuen yeere reigned he in Hebron, and three and thirtie yeere reigned he in Ierusalem: 
\verseNumber{28}And he dyed in a good age, full of dayes, riches and honour, and Salomon his sonne reigned in his steade. 
\verseNumber{29}Concerning the actes of Dauid the King first and last, behold, they are written in the booke of Samuel the Seer, and in the booke of Nathan the Prophet, and in the booke of Gad the Seer, 
\verseNumber{30}With all his reigne and his power, and times that went ouer him, and ouer Israel and ouer all the kingdomes of the earth.

\chapterNumber{1}Then Salomon the sonne of Dauid was confirmed in his kingdome: and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him highly. 
\verseNumber{2}And Salomon spake vnto all Israel, to the captaines of thousandes, and of hundreths, and to the iudges, and to all the gouernours in all Israel, euen the chiefe fathers. 
\verseNumber{3}So Salomon and all the Congregation with him went to the hie place that was at Gibeon: for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God which Moses the seruant of the Lord had made in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{4}But the Arke of God had Dauid brought vp from Kiriath-iearim, when Dauid had made preparation for it: for he had pitched a tent for it in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{5}Moreouer the brasen altar that Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur had made, did hee set before the Tabernacle of the Lord: and Salomon and the Congregation sought it. 
\verseNumber{6}And Salomon offred there before the Lord vpon the brasen altar that was in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: euen a thousand burnt offrings offred he vpon it. 
\verseNumber{7}The same night did God appeare vnto Salomon, and sayde vnto him, Aske what I shall giue thee. 
\verseNumber{8}And Salomon sayde vnto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy vnto Dauid my father and hast made me to reigne in his stead. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe therefore, O Lord God, let thy promise vnto Dauid my father be true: for thou hast made mee King ouer a great people, like to the dust of the earth. 
\verseNumber{10}Giue me now wisdome and knowledge, that I may go out and go in before this people: for who can iudge this thy great people? 
\verseNumber{11}And God sayde to Salomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, treasures nor honour, nor the liues of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked for thee wisdome and knowledge that thou mightest iudge my people, ouer whome I haue made thee King, 
\verseNumber{12}Wisdome and knowledge is granted vnto thee, and I will giue thee riches and treasures and honour, so that there hath not bene the like among the Kings which were before thee, neither after thee shall there be the like. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Salomon came from the hie place, that was at Gibeon, to Ierusalem from before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and reigned ouer Israel. 
\verseNumber{14}And Salomon gathered the charets and horesemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome he placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{15}And the King gaue siluer and gold at Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde figge trees, that are abundantly in the playne. 
\verseNumber{16}Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the fine linen for a price. 
\verseNumber{17}They came vp also and brought out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer, that is an horse for an hundreth and fiftie: and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites, and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.

\chapterNumber{2}Then Salomon determined to builde an house for the Name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdome. 
\verseNumber{2}And Salomon tolde out seuentie thousand that bare burdens, and fourescore thousande men to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousand and sixe hundreth to ouersee them. 
\verseNumber{3}And Salomon sent to Huram the king of Tyrus, saying, As thou hast done to Dauid my father, and didst sende him cedar trees to buylde him an house to dwell in, so do to me. 
\verseNumber{4}Behold, I buylde an house vnto the Name of the Lord my God, to sanctifie it vnto him, and to burne sweete incense before him, and for the continuall shewbread, and for the burnt offrings of the morning and euening, on the Sabbath dayes, and in the new moneths, and in the solemne feastes of the Lord our God: this is a perpetuall thing for Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And the house which I buylde, is great: for great is our God aboue all gods. 
\verseNumber{6}Who is he then that can be able to buylde him an house, when the heauen, and the heauen of heauens can not conteine him? who am I then that I should buylde him an house? but I do it to burne incense before him. 
\verseNumber{7}Sende me nowe therefore a cunning man that can worke in golde, in siluer, and in brasse, and in yron, and in purple, and crimosin and blue silke, and that can graue in grauen worke with the cunning men that are with me in Iudah and in Ierusalem, whom Dauid my father hath prepared. 
\verseNumber{8}Sende mee also cedar trees, firre trees and Algummim trees from Lebanon: for I knowe that thy seruants can skill to hewe timber in Lebanon: and beholde, my seruantes shalbe with thine, 
\verseNumber{9}That they may prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I doe buylde, is great and wonderfull. 
\verseNumber{10}And behold, I will giue to thy seruants the cutters and the hewers of timber twentie thousand measures of beaten wheate, and twentie thousand measures of barley, and twentie thousand baths of wine, and twentie thousand baths of oyle. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Huram King of Tyrus answered in writing which he sent to Salomon, Because the Lord hath loued his people, he hath made thee King ouer them. 
\verseNumber{12}Huram sayd moreouer, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which made the heauen and the earth, and that hath giuen vnto Dauid the King a wise sonne, that hath discretion, prudence and vnderstanding to buylde an house for the Lord, and a palace for his kingdome. 
\verseNumber{13}Now therefore I haue sent a wise man, and of vnderstanding of my father Hurams, 
\verseNumber{14}The sonne of a woman of the daughters of Dan: and his father was a man of Tyrus, and he can skill to worke in golde, in siluer, in brasse, in yron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue silke, and in fine linen, and in crimosin, and can graue in all grauen workes, and broyder in all broydered worke that shalbe giuen him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord Dauid thy father. 
\verseNumber{15}Now therefore the wheate and the barley, the oyle and the wine, which my lorde hath spoken of, let him send vnto his seruants. 
\verseNumber{16}And we wil cut wood in Lebanon as much as thou shalt neede, and will bring it to thee in raftes by the sea to Iapho, so thou mayest cary them to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{17}And Salomon nombred al the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the nombring that his father Dauid had nombred them: and they were found an hundreth and three and fiftie thousand, and sixe hundreth. 
\verseNumber{18}And he set seuentie thousande of them to the burden, and fourescore thousande to hewe stones in the mountaine, and three thousande and sixe hundreth ouerseers to cause the people to worke.

\chapterNumber{3}So Salomon began to buyld the house of the Lord in Ierusalem, in mount Moriah which had bene declared vnto Dauid his father, in the place that Dauid prepared in the thresshing floore of Ornan the Iebusite. 
\verseNumber{2}And he beganne to buylde in the seconde moneth and the second day, in the fourth yeere of his reigne. 
\verseNumber{3}And these are the measures, whereon Salomon grounded to buylde the house of God: the length of cubites after the first measure was threescore cubites, and the breadth twenty cubites: 
\verseNumber{4}And the porch, that was before the length in the front of the breadth was twentie cubits, and the height was an hundreth and twentie, and he ouerlayd it within with pure golde. 
\verseNumber{5}And the greater house he sieled with firre tree which he ouerlayd with good golde, and graued thereon palme trees and chaines. 
\verseNumber{6}And hee ouerlayde the house with precious stone for beautie: and the golde was gold of Paruaim. 
\verseNumber{7}The house, I say, the beames, postes, and walles thereof and the doores thereof ouerlayde he with gold, and graued Cherubims vpon the walles. 
\verseNumber{8}He made also the house of the most holy place: the length thereof was in the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twentie cubites: and he ouerlayde it with the best golde, of sixe hundreth talents. 
\verseNumber{9}And the weight of the nayles was fiftie shekels of golde, and hee ouerlayde the chambers with golde. 
\verseNumber{10}And in the house of the most holy place he made two Cherubims wrought like children, and ouerlayd them with golde. 
\verseNumber{11}And the winges of the Cherubims were twentie cubites long: the one wing was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites, reaching to the wing of the other Cherub. 
\verseNumber{12}Likewise the wing of ye other Cherub was fiue cubites, reaching to the wall of the house, and the other wing fiue cubites ioyning to the wing of the other Cherub. 
\verseNumber{13}The wings of these Cherubims were spread abroade twentie cubites: they stoode on their feete, and their faces were toward the house. 
\verseNumber{14}He made also the vaile of blew silke and purple, and crimosin, and fine linen, and wrought Cherubims thereon. 
\verseNumber{15}And he made before the house two pillars of fiue and thirtie cubites hie: and the chapiter that was vpon the top of eche of them, was fiue cubites. 
\verseNumber{16}He made also chaines for the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars, and made an hundreth pomegranates, and put them among the chaines. 
\verseNumber{17}And he set vp the pillars before the Temple, one on the right hande and the other on the left, and called that on the right hand Iachin, and that on the left hand Boaz. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And hee made an altar of brasse twentie cubites long, and twentie cubites broade, and ten cubites hie. 
\verseNumber{2}And he made a molten Sea of ten cubites from brim to brim, rounde in compasse, and fiue cubites hie: and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it about. 
\verseNumber{3}And vnder it was ye facion of oxen, which did compasse it rounde about, tenne in a cubite compassing the Sea about: two rowes of oxen were cast when it was molten. 
\verseNumber{4}It stoode vpon twelue oxen: three looked toward the North, and three looked towarde the West, and three looked towarde the South, and three looked towarde the East, and the Sea stoode about vpon them, and all their hinder parts were inwarde. 
\verseNumber{5}And the thickenesse thereof was an hande breadth, and the brim thereof was like the worke of the brim of a cuppe with floures of lilies: it conteined three thousand baths. 
\verseNumber{6}He made also ten caldrons, and put fiue on the right hand, and fiue on the left, to wash in them, and to clense in them that which apperteined to the burnt offrings: but the Sea was for the Priests to wash in. 
\verseNumber{7}And he made ten candlestickes of golde (according to their forme) and put them in the Temple, fiue on the right hand, and fiue on the left. 
\verseNumber{8}And he made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, fiue on the right hand, and fiue on the left: and he made an hundreth basens of golde. 
\verseNumber{9}And he made the court of the Priests, and the great court and doores for the court, and ouerlayd the doores thereof with brasse. 
\verseNumber{10}And he set the Sea on the right side Eastward toward the South. 
\verseNumber{11}And Huram made pottes and besoms and basens, and Huram finished the worke that hee shoulde make for King Salomon for the house of God, 
\verseNumber{12}To wit, two pillars, and the bowles and the chapiters on the top of ye two pillars, and two grates to couer the two bowles of the chapiters which were vpon the toppe of the pillars: 
\verseNumber{13}And foure hundreth pomegranates for the two grates, two rowes of pomegranates for euery grate to couer the two bowles of the chapiters, that were vpon the pillars. 
\verseNumber{14}He made also bases, and made caldrons vpon the bases: 
\verseNumber{15}And a Sea, and twelue bulles vnder it: 
\verseNumber{16}Pottes also and besomes, and fleshhookes, and all these vessels made Huram his father, to King Salomon for the house of the Lord, of shining brasse. 
\verseNumber{17}In the playne of Iorden did the King cast them in clay betweene Succoth and Zeredathah. 
\verseNumber{18}And Salomon made al these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of brasse could not be rekoned. 
\verseNumber{19}And Salomon made al the vessels that were for the house of God: the golden altar also and the tables, whereon the shewbread stoode. 
\verseNumber{20}Moreouer the candlestickes, with their lampes to burne them after the maner, before the oracle, of pure golde. 
\verseNumber{21}And the floures and the lampes, and the snuffers of gold, which was fine golde. 
\verseNumber{22}And the hookes, and the basens, and the spoones, and the ashpans of pure golde: the entrie also of the house and doores thereof within, euen of the most holy place: and the doores of the house, to wit, of the Temple were of golde. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}So was all the worke finished that Salomon made for the house of the Lord, and Salomon brought in the things that Dauid his father had dedicated, with the siluer and the golde, and all the vessels, and put them among the treasures of the house of God. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Salomon assembled the Elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chiefe fathers of the children of Israel vnto Ierusalem to bring vp the Arke of the couenant of the Lord from the citie of Dauid, which is Zion. 
\verseNumber{3}And all ye men of Israel assembled vnto the King at the feast: it was in ye seuenth moneth. 
\verseNumber{4}And all the Elders of Israel came, and the Leuites tooke vp the Arke. 
\verseNumber{5}And they caried vp the Arke and the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and all the holy vessels that were in the Tabernacle, those did the Priests and Leuites bring vp. 
\verseNumber{6}And King Salomon and all the Congregation of Israel that were assembled vnto him, were before ye Arke, offring sheepe and bullocks, which could not be told nor nobred for multitude. 
\verseNumber{7}So the Priests brought the Arke of the couenant of the Lord vnto his place, into the Oracle of the house, into the most Holy place, euen vnder the wings of the Cherubims. 
\verseNumber{8}For ye Cherubims stretched out their wings ouer the place of the Arke, and the Cherubims couered the Arke and the barres thereof aboue. 
\verseNumber{9}And they drewe out the barres, that the endes of the barres might bee seene out of the Arke before the Oracle, but they were not seene without: and there they are vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{10}Nothing was in the Arke, saue the two Tables, which Moses gaue at Horeb, where the Lord made a couenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{11}And when the Priestes were come out of the Sanctuarie (for all the Priests that were present, were sanctified and did not waite by course. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Leuites the singers of all sortes, as of Asaph, of Heman, of Ieduthun, and of their sonnes and of their brethren, being clad in fine linen, stoode with cymbales, and with violes and harpes at the East ende of the altar, and with them an hundreth and twentie Priestes blowing with trumpets: 
\verseNumber{13}And they were as one, blowing trumpets, and singing, and made one sounde to bee heard in praysing and thanking the Lord, and when they lift vp their voyce with trumpets and with cymbales, and with instruments of musicke, and when they praysed the Lord, singing, For he is good, because his mercie lasteth for euer) then the house, euen the house of the Lord was filled with a cloude, 
\verseNumber{14}So that the Priests could not stand to minister, because of the cloude: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Then Salomon sayd, The Lord hath sayde that he would dwell in the darke cloude: 
\verseNumber{2}And I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to dwell in for euer. 
\verseNumber{3}And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel (for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there) 
\verseNumber{4}And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no citie of al the tribes of Israel to buylde an house, that my Name might be there, neyther chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel: 
\verseNumber{6}But I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my Name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}And it was in the heart of Dauid my father to builde an house vnto the Name of the Lord God of Israel, 
\verseNumber{8}But the Lord sayde to Dauid my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to buylde an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded. 
\verseNumber{9}Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house, but thy sonne which shall come out of thy loynes, he shall buylde an house vnto my Name. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lord hath performed his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and am set on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and haue built an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}And I haue set the Arke there, wherein is the couenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{12}And the King stoode before the altar of the Lord, in the presence of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands, 
\verseNumber{13}(For Salomon had made a brasen skaffold and set it in the middes of the court, of fiue cubites long, and fiue cubites broade, and three cubites of height, and vpon it he stoode, and kneeled downe vpon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands toward heauen) 
\verseNumber{14}And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen nor in earth, which keepest couenant, and mercie vnto thy seruants, that walke before thee with all their heart. 
\verseNumber{15}Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore now Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight, that shall sit vpon the throne of Israel: so that thy sonnes take heede to their wayes, to walke in my Lawe, as thou hast walked before me. 
\verseNumber{17}And now, O Lord God of Israel, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid. 
\verseNumber{18}(Is it true in deede that God will dwell with man on earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: how much more vnable is this house, which I haue buylt?) 
\verseNumber{19}But haue thou respect to the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to heare the crye and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee, 
\verseNumber{20}That thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, euen toward the place, whereof thou hast sayde, that thou wouldest put thy Name there, that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer, which thy seruant prayeth in this place. 
\verseNumber{21}Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which they pray in this place: and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, be mercifull. 
\verseNumber{22}When a man shall sinne against his neighbour, and he laye vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house, 
\verseNumber{23}Then heare thou in heauen, and doe, and iudge thy seruants, in recompensing the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and in iustifying the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnes.

\chapterNumber{7}And when Salomon had made an ende of praying, fire came downe from heauen, and consumed the burnt offring and the sacrifices: and the glory of the Lord filled the house, 
\verseNumber{2}So that the Priestes could not euter into the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lordes house. 
\verseNumber{3}And when all the children of Israel saw the fire, and the glory of the Lord come downe vpon the house, they bowed themselues with their faces to the earth vpon the pauement, and worshipped and praysed the Lord, saying, For he is good, because his mercy lasteth for euer. 
\verseNumber{4}Then the King and all the people offred sacrifices before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}And King Salomon offered a sacrifice of two and twentie thousand bullockes, and an hundreth and twentie thousand sheepe. so the King and all the people dedicated the house of God. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Priests waited on their offices, and the Leuites with the instruments of musicke of the Lord, which King Dauid had made to praise the Lord, Because his mercy lasteth for euer: whe Dauid praysed God by them, the Priestes also blewe trumpets ouer against them: and all they of Israel stoode by. 
\verseNumber{7}Moreouer Salomon halowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there hee had prepared burnt offerings, and the fatte of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Salomon had made, was not able to receiue the burnt offering, and the meate offring, and the fat. 
\verseNumber{8}And Salomon made a feast at that time of seuen dayes, and all Israel with him, a very great Congregation, from the entring in of Hamath, vnto the riuer of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{9}And in the eight day they made a solemne assemblie: for they had made the dedication of the altar seuen daies, and the feast seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{10}And the three and twentieth day of the seuenth moneth, he sent the people away into their tentes, ioyous and with glad heart, because of the goodnesse that the Lord had done for Dauid and for Salomon, and for Israel his people. 
\verseNumber{11}So Salomon finished the house of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all that came into Salomons heart to make in the house of the Lord: and he prospered in his house. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Lord appeared to Salomon by night and said to him, I haue heard thy prayer, and haue chosen this place for my selfe to be an house of sacrifice. 
\verseNumber{13}If I shut the heauen that there be no raine, or if I commaund the grashopper to deuoure the lande, or if I sende pestilence among my people, 
\verseNumber{14}If my people, among whome my Name is called vpon, doe humble them selues, and praye, and seeke my presence, and turne from their wicked wayes, then will I heare in heauen, and be mercifull to their sinne, and wil heale their land: 
\verseNumber{15}Then mine eies shalbe open and mine eares attent vnto the prayer made in this place. 
\verseNumber{16}For I haue nowe chosen and sanctified this house, that my Name may be there for euer: and mine eyes and mine heart shalbe there perpetually. 
\verseNumber{17}And if thou wilt walke before me, as Dauid thy father walked, to doe according vnto all that I haue commanded thee, and shalt obserue my statutes and my iudgements, 
\verseNumber{18}Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdome, according as I made the couenant with Dauid thy father, saying, Thou shalt not want a man to be ruler in Israel. 
\verseNumber{19}But if ye turne away, and forsake my statutes and my commandements which I haue set before you, and shall goe and serue other gods, and worshippe them, 
\verseNumber{20}Then will I plucke them vp out of my lande, which I haue giuen them, and this house which I haue sanctified for my Name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a prouerbe and a common talke among all people. 
\verseNumber{21}And this house which is most hie, shall be an astonishment to euery one that passeth by it, so that he shall say, Why hath the Lord done thus to this lande, and to this house? 
\verseNumber{22}And they shall answere, Because they forsooke the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the lande of Egypt, and haue taken holde on other gods, and haue worshipped them, and serued them, therefore hath he brought all this euill vpon them.

\chapterNumber{8}And after twentie yeere when Salomon had built the house of the Lord, and his owne house, 
\verseNumber{2}Then Salomon built the cities that Huram gaue to Salomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 
\verseNumber{3}And Salomon went to Hamath Zobah, and ouercame it. 
\verseNumber{4}And he built Tadmor in the wildernesse, and repayred all the cities of store which hee built in Hamath. 
\verseNumber{5}And he built Beth-horon the vpper, and Beth-horon the nether, cities defensed with walles, gates and barres: 
\verseNumber{6}Also Baalath, and al the cities of store that Salomon had, and all the charet cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and euery pleasant place that Salomon had a minde to builde in Ierusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the lande of his dominion.

\verseNumber{9}But of the children of Israel did Salomon make no seruantes for his worke: for they were men of warre, and his chiefe princes, and the captaines of his charets and of his horsemen. 
\verseNumber{10}So these were the chiefe of the officers which Salomon had, euen two hundreth and fiftie that bare rule ouer the people. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Salomon brought vp the daughter of Pharaoh out of the citie of Dauid, into the house that he had built for her: for he saide, My wife shall not dwel in the house of Dauid King of Israel: for it is holy, because that the Arke of the Lord came vnto it. 
\verseNumber{12}Then Salomon offered burnt offrings vnto the Lord, on the altar of the Lord, which he had built before the porche, 
\verseNumber{13}To offer according to the commandement of Moses euery day, in the Sabbaths, and in the newe moones, and in the solemne feastes, three times in the yeere, that is, in the feast of the Vnleauened bread, and in the feast of the Weekes, and in the feast of the Tabernacles. 
\verseNumber{14}And he set the courses of the Priestes to their offices, according to the order of Dauid his father, and the Leuites in their watches, for to praise and minister before the Priestes euery day, and the porters by their courses, at euery gate: for so was the commandement of Dauid the man of God. 
\verseNumber{15}And they declined not from the commandement of the King, concerning the Priests and the Leuites, touching al things, and touching the treasures. 
\verseNumber{16}Nowe Salomon had made prouision for all the worke, from the day of the foundation of the house of the Lord, vntill it was finished: so the house of the Lord was perfite.

\chapterNumber{9}And when the Queene of Sheba heard of the fame of Salomon, she came to proue Salomon with hard questions at Ierusalem, with a very great traine, and camels that bare sweete odours and much golde, and precious stones: and when she came to Salomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 
\verseNumber{2}And Salomon declared her all her questions, and there was nothing hid from Salomon, which he declared not vnto her. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the Queene of Sheba sawe the wisedome of Salomon, and the house that he had buylt, 
\verseNumber{4}And the meate of his table, and the sitting of his seruants, and the order of his wayters, and their apparel, and his butlers, and their apparel, and his burnt offrings which he offred in the house of the Lord, and she was greatly astonied. 
\verseNumber{5}And she saide to the King, It was a true worde which I heard in mine owne lande of thy sayings, and of thy wisedome: 
\verseNumber{6}Howbeit I beleeued not their report, vntil I came, and mine eyes had seene it: and beholde, the one halfe of thy great wisedom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.

\verseNumber{9}Then she gaue the King sixe score talents of golde, and of sweete odours exceeding much and precious stones: neither was there such sweete odours since, as the Queene of Sheba gaue vnto King Salomon. 
\verseNumber{10}And the seruants also of Huram, and the seruants of Salomon which brought golde from Ophir, brought Algummim wood and precious stones. 
\verseNumber{11}And the King made of the Algummim wood staires in the house of the Lord, and in the Kings house, and harpes and violes for singers: and there was no such seene before in the lande of Iudah.

\verseNumber{15}And King Salomon made two hundreth targets of beaten golde, and sixe hundreth shekels of beaten golde went to one target, 
\verseNumber{16}And three hundreth shieldes of beaten golde: three hundreth shekels of golde went to one shielde, and the King put them in the house of the wood of Lebanon. 
\verseNumber{17}And the King made a great throne of yuorie and ouerlaid it with pure golde. 
\verseNumber{18}And the throne had sixe steppes, with a footestoole of gold fastened to the throne, and stayes on either side on the place of the seate, and two lyons standing by the stayes. 
\verseNumber{19}And twelue lyons stoode there on the sixe steps on either side: there was not the like made in any kingdome. 
\verseNumber{20}And all King Salomons drinking vessels were of golde, and all the vessels of the house of the wood of Lebanon were of pure gold: for siluer was nothing esteemed in ye dayes of Salomon. 
\verseNumber{21}For the Kings ships went to Tarshish with the seruants of Huram, euery three yeere once came the ships of Tarshish, and brought golde, and siluer, yuorie, and apes, and peacockes. 
\verseNumber{22}So King Salomon excelled all the Kings of the earth in riches and wisedome. 
\verseNumber{23}And all the Kings of the earth sought the presence of Salomon, to heare his wisedome that God had put in his heart. 
\verseNumber{24}And they brought euery man his present, vessels of siluer, and vessels of golde, and raiment, armour, and sweet odours, horses, and mules, from yeere to yeere.

\verseNumber{3}And they sent and called him: so came Ieroboam and all Israel, and communed with Rehoboam, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Thy father made our yoke grieuous: nowe therefore make thou the grieuous seruitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, that he put vpon vs, lighter, and we will serue thee. 
\verseNumber{5}And he sayde to them, Depart yet three dayes, then come againe vnto me. And the people departed.

\verseNumber{11}Now whereas my father did burden you with a grieuous yoke, I will yet increase your yoke: my father hath chastised you with roddes, but I will correct you with scourges.

\verseNumber{15}So the king hearkened not vnto the people: for it was the ordinance of God that the Lord might performe his saying, which hee had spoken by Ahiiah the Shilonite to Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat. 
\verseNumber{16}So when all Isarael sawe that the King would not heare them, the people answered the King, saying, What portion haue we in Dauid? for we haue none inheritance in the sonue of Ishai.

\verseNumber{2}And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God. 
\verseNumber{3}For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues, 
\verseNumber{4}And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement. 
\verseNumber{5}And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him. 
\verseNumber{6}He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered. 
\verseNumber{8}And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.

\verseNumber{7}And at that same time Hanani the Seer came to Asa King of Iudah, and saide vnto him, Because thou hast rested vpon the king of Aram, and not rested in the Lord thy God, therefore is the hoste of the King of Aram escaped out of thine hande. 
\verseNumber{8}The Ethiopians and the Lubims, were they not a great hoste with charets and horsemen, exceeding many? yet because thou diddest rest vpon the Lord, he deliuered them into thine had. 
\verseNumber{9}For the eyes of the Lord beholde all the earth to shewe him selfe strong with them that are of perfite heart towarde him: thou hast then done foolishly in this: therefore from henceforth thou shalt haue warres.

\verseNumber{7}Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house of Dauid, because of the couenant that he had made with Dauid, and because he had promised to giue a light to him, and to his sonnes for euer. 
\verseNumber{8}In his dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer them. 
\verseNumber{9}And Iehoram went forth with his princes, and all his charets with him: and hee rose vp by night, and smote Edom, which had compassed him in, and the captaines of the charets. 
\verseNumber{10}But Edom rebelled from vnder the hande of Iudah vnto this day. then did Libnah rebell at the same time from vnder his hand, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers. 
\verseNumber{11}Moreouer hee made hie places in the mountaines of Iudah, and caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Iudah thereto. 
\verseNumber{12}And there came a writing to him from Elijah the Prophet, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Dauid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the wayes of Iehoshaphat thy father, nor in the wayes of Asa King of Iudah, 
\verseNumber{13}But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Iudah and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem to go a whoring, as the house of Ahab went a whoring, and hast also slaine thy brethre of thy fathers house, which were better then thou, 
\verseNumber{14}Beholde, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy substance, 
\verseNumber{15}And thou shalt be in great diseases in the disease of thy bowels, vntill thy bowels fall out for the disease, day by day. 
\verseNumber{16}So the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirite of the Philistims, and the Arabians that were beside the Ethiopians. 
\verseNumber{17}And they came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caryed away all the substance that was found in the Kings house, and his sonnes also, and his wiues, so that there was not a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes. 
\verseNumber{18}And after all this, the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 
\verseNumber{19}And in processe of time, euen after the end of two yeeres, his guttes fell out with his disease: so he dyed of sore diseases: and his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers. 
\verseNumber{20}When he began to reigne, he was two and thirtie yeere olde, and reigned in Ierusalem eight yeere, and liued without being desired: yet they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, but not among the sepulchres of the Kings.

\chapterNumber{22}And the inhabitants of Ierusalem made Ahaziah his yongest sonne King in his steade: for the armie that came with the Arabians to the campe, had slayne all the eldest: therefore Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah reigned. 
\verseNumber{2}Two and fourtie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yeere in Ierusalem. and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri. 
\verseNumber{3}He walked also in the wayes of the house of Ahab: for his mother counselled him to doe wickedly. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father, to his destruction. 
\verseNumber{5}And he walked after their counsel, and went with Iehoram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Aramites smote Ioram. 
\verseNumber{6}And he returned to be healed in Izreel, because of the woundes wherewith they had wounded him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael King of Aram. Nowe Azariah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Iehoram the sonne of Ahab at Izreel, because hee was diseased. 
\verseNumber{7}And the destruction of Ahaziah came of God in that he went to Ioram: for when he was come, he went forth with Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore when Iehu executed iudgement vpon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Iudah and the sonnes of the brethren of Ahaziah that waited on Ahaziah, he slew them also. 
\verseNumber{9}And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him where he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Iehu, and slewe him, and buryed him, because, sayd they, he is the sonne of Iehoshaphat, which sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah was not able to reteine the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawe that her sonne was dead, shee arose and destroyed all the Kings seede of the house of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{11}But Iehoshabeath the daughter of ye King, tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes, that shoulde be slayne, and put him and his nource in the bed chamber: so Iehoshabeath the daughter of King Iehoram the wife of Iehoiada the Priest (for shee was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not. 
\verseNumber{12}And hee was with them hid in the house of God sixe yeeres, whiles Athaliah reigned ouer the land.

\chapterNumber{23}And in the seuenth yeere Iehoiada waxed bolde, and tooke the captaines of hundreths, to wit, Azariah the sonne of Ieroham, and Ishmael the sonne of Iehohanan, and Azariah the sonne of Obed, and Maasiah the sonne of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the sonne of Zichri in couenant with him. 
\verseNumber{2}And they went about in Iudah, and gathered the Leuites out of all the cities of Iudah, and the chiefe fathers of Israel: and they came to Ierusale. 
\verseNumber{3}And al the Congregation made a couenant with the King in the house of God: and he sayde vnto them, Behold, the Kings sonne must reigne, as the Lord hath sayd of the sonnes of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{4}This is it that ye shall do, The third part of you that come on the Sabbath of the Priests, and the Leuites, shalbe porters of the doores. 
\verseNumber{5}And another third part towarde the Kings house, and another thirde part at the gate of the foundation, and al the people shalbe in the courts of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}But let none come into the house of the Lord, saue the Priests, and the Leuites that minister: they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keepe the watch of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Leuites shall compasse the King rounde about, and euery man with his weapon in his hand, and he that entreth into the house, shall be slaine, and be you with the King, when he commeth in, and when he goeth out. 
\verseNumber{8}So the Leuites and all Iudah did according to all things that Iehoiada the Priest had commanded, and tooke euery man his men that came on the Sabbath, with them that went out on the Sabbath: for Iehoiada the Priest did not discharge the courses. 
\verseNumber{9}And Iehoiada the Priest deliuered to the captaines of hundreths speares, and shieldes, and bucklers which had bene King Dauids, and were in the house of God. 
\verseNumber{10}And he caused all the people to stand (euery man with his weapon in his hande) from the right side of the house, to ye left side of the house by the altar and by the house round about ye king. 
\verseNumber{11}Then they brought out the Kings sonne, and put vpon him the crowne and gaue him the testimonie, and made him King. And Iehoiada and his sonnes anoynted him, and sayd, God saue the King. 
\verseNumber{12}But when Athaliah heard the noyse of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}And when she looked, beholde, the King stoode by his pillar at the entring in, and the princes and the trumpets by the King, and all the people of the land reioyced, and blew the trumpets, and the singers were with instruments of musike, and they that could sing prayse: then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, treason. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Iehoiada the Priest brought out the captaines of hundreths that were gouernours of the hoste, and said vnto them, Haue her foorth of the ranges, and he that followeth her, let him dye by the sword: for the Priest had said, Slay her not in the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}So they layde hands on her: and when she was come to the entring of the horsegate by the Kings house, they slew her there. 
\verseNumber{16}And Iehoiada made a couenant betweene him, and all the people, and the King, that they would be the Lords people. 
\verseNumber{17}And all the people went to the house of Baal, and destroyed, and brake his altars and his images, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. 
\verseNumber{18}And Iehoiada appointed officers for the house of the Lord, vnder the handes of the Priestes and Leuites, whome Dauid had distributed for the house of the Lord, to offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with reioycing and singing by the appoyntment of Dauid. 
\verseNumber{19}And he set porters by the gates of ye house of the Lord, that none that was vncleane in any thing, should enter in. 
\verseNumber{20}And he tooke the captaines of hundreths, and the noble men, and the gouernours of the people, and all the people of the land, and he caused the King to come downe out of the house of the Lord, and they went thorowe the hie gate of the Kings house, and set the King vpon the throne of the kingdome.

\verseNumber{4}And afterward it came into Ioash mind, to renew the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}And he assembled the Priests and the Leuites, and said to them, Goe out vnto the cities of Iudah, and gather of all Israel money to repaire the house of your God, from yeere to yeere, and haste the thing: but the Leuites hasted not. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore the King called Iehoiada, the chiefe, and said vnto him, Why hast thou not required of the Leuites to bring in out of Iudah and Ierusalem the taxe of Moses the seruant of the Lord, and of the Congregation of Israel, for the Tabernacle of the testimonie? 
\verseNumber{7}For wicked Athaliah, and her children brake vp the house of God: and all the things that were dedicate for the house of the Lord, did they bestowe vpon Baalim. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore the King commanded, and they made a chest, and set it at the gate of the house of the Lord without. 
\verseNumber{9}And they made proclamation thorow Iudah and Ierusalem, to bring vnto the Lord the taxe of Moses the seruant of God, layde vpon Israel in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{10}And all the princes and all the people reioyced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, vntill they had finished. 
\verseNumber{11}And when it was time, they brought the chest vnto the Kings officer by the hand of the Leuites: and when they saw that there was much siluer, then the Kings Scribe (and one appoynted by the hie Priest) came and emptied the chest, and tooke it, and caried it to his place againe: thus they did day by day, and gathered siluer in abundance. 
\verseNumber{12}And the King and Iehoiada gaue it to such as did the labour and worke in the house of the Lord, and hyred masons and carpenters to repayre the house of the Lord: they gaue it also to workers of yron and brasse, to repayre the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}So the workemen wrought, and the worke amended through their hands: and they restored the house of God to his state, and strengthened it. 
\verseNumber{14}And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the siluer before the King and Iehoiada, and he made thereof vessels for the house of the Lord, euen vessels to minister, both morters and incense cuppes, and vessels of golde, and of siluer: and they offred burnt offrings in the house of the Lord continually all the dayes of Iehoiada.

\verseNumber{21}Then they conspired against him and stoned him with stones at the commandement of the King, in the court of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}Thus Ioash the King remembred not the kindnesse which Iehoiada his father had done to him, but slewe his sonne. And when he dyed, he sayd, The Lord looke vpon it, and require it. 
\verseNumber{23}And when the yeere was out, the host of Aram came vp against him, and they came against Iudah and Ierusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoyle of them vnto the King of Damascus.

\verseNumber{3}And when the kingdome was established vnto him, he slewe his seruants, that had slaine the King his father. 
\verseNumber{4}But he slewe not their children, but did as it is written in the Lawe, and in the booke of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not dye for the children, neyther shall the children die for the fathers, but euery man shall dye for his owne sinne. 
\verseNumber{5}And Amaziah assembled Iudah, and made them captaines ouer thousandes, and captaines ouer hundreths, according to the houses of their fathers, thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin: and he nombred them from twentie yeere olde and aboue, and founde among them three hundreth thousand chosen men, to goe foorth to the warre, and to handle speare and shield. 
\verseNumber{6}He hyred also an hundreth thousand valiant men out of Israel for an hundreth talents of siluer. 
\verseNumber{7}But a man of God came to him, saying, O King, let not the armie of Israel goe with thee: for the Lord is not with Israel, neither with all the house of Ephraim. 
\verseNumber{8}If not, goe thou on, doe it, make thy selfe strong to the battel, but God shall make thee fall before the enemie: for God hath power to helpe, and to cast downe. 
\verseNumber{9}And Amaziah sayde to the man of God, What shall we doe then for the hundreth talents, which I haue giuen to the hoste of Israel? Then the man of God answered, The Lord is able to giue thee more then this. 
\verseNumber{10}So Amaziah separated them, to wit, the armie that was come to him out of Ephraim, to returne to their place: wherefore their wrath was kindled greatly against Iudah, and they returned to their places with great anger. 
\verseNumber{11}Then Amaziah was encouraged, and led forth his people, and went to the salt valley, and smote of the children of Seir, ten thousand. 
\verseNumber{12}And other ten thousand did the children of Iudah take aliue, and caryed them to the top of a rocke, and cast them downe from the top of the rocke, and they all burst to pieces. 
\verseNumber{13}But the men of the armie, which Amaziah sent away, that they should not goe with his people to battell, fell vpon the cities of Iudah from Samaria vnto Beth-horon, and smote three thousand of them, and tooke much spoyle. 
\verseNumber{14}Now after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them vp to be his gods, and worshipped them, and burned incense vnto them. 
\verseNumber{15}Wherefore the Lord was wroth with Amaziah, and sent vnto him a Prophet, which sayd vnto him, Why hast thou sought the gods of the people, which were not able to deliuer their owne people out of thine hand? 
\verseNumber{16}And as he talked with him, he said vnto him, Haue they made thee the Kings counseler? cease thou: why should they smite thee? And the Prophet ceased, but said, I knowe that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not obeyed my counsell. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Amaziah King of Iudah tooke counsell, and sent to Ioash the sonne of Iehoahaz, the sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face. 
\verseNumber{18}But Ioash King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon went and trode downe the thistle. 
\verseNumber{19}Thou thinkest: lo, thou hast smitten Edom, and thine heart lifteth thee vp to bragge: abide now at home: why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee? 
\verseNumber{20}But Amaziah would not heare: for it was of God, that he might deliuer them into his had, because they had sought the gods of Edom. 
\verseNumber{21}So Ioash the King of Israel went vp: and he, and Amaziah King of Iudah saw one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which is in Iudah. 
\verseNumber{22}And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled euery man to his tents.

\verseNumber{15}And the men that were named by name, rose vp and tooke the prisoners, and with the spoyle clothed all that were naked among them, and arayed them, and shod them, and gaue them meate, and gaue them drinke, and anoynted them, and caryed all that were feeble of them vpon asses, and brought them to Iericho the citie of Palme trees to their brethren: so they returned to Samaria. 
\verseNumber{16}At that time did King Ahaz sende vnto the Kings of Asshur, to helpe him. 
\verseNumber{17}(For the Edomites came moreouer, and slew of Iudah, and caryed away captiues. 
\verseNumber{18}The Philistims also inuaded the cities in the low countrey, and toward the South of Iudah, and tooke Bethshemesh, and Aialon, and Gederoth and Shocho, with the villages thereof, and Timnah, with her villages, and Gimzo, with her villages, and they dwelt there. 
\verseNumber{19}For the Lord had humbled Iudah, because of Ahaz King of Israel: for he had brought vengeance vpon Iudah, and had grieuously transgressed against the Lord) 
\verseNumber{20}And Tilgath Pilneeser king of Asshur came vnto him, who troubled him and did not strengthen him. 
\verseNumber{21}For Ahaz tooke a portion out of the house of the Lord and out of the Kings house and of the Princes, and gaue vnto the king of Asshur: yet it helped him not. 
\verseNumber{22}And in ye time of his tribulation did he yet trespasse more against ye Lord, (this is King Ahaz) 
\verseNumber{23}For he sacrificed vnto the gods of Damascus, which plagued him, and he sayd, Because the gods of the Kings of Aram helped them, I wil sacrifice vnto them, and they will helpe me: yet they were his ruine, and of all Israel. 
\verseNumber{24}And Ahaz gathered the vessels of ye house of God, and brake the vessels of the house of God, and shut vp the doores of the house of the Lord, and made him altars in euery corner of Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{25}And in euery citie of Iudah hee made hie places, to burne incense vnto other gods, and prouoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers. 
\verseNumber{26}Concerning the rest of his actes, and all his wayes first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah, and Israel. 
\verseNumber{27}And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the citie of Ierusalem, but brought him not vnto the sepulchres of the Kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{29}Hezekiah began to reigne, when he was fiue and twentie yeere olde, and reigned nine and twentie yeres in Ierusalem: and his mothers name was Abiiah the daughter of Zechariah. 
\verseNumber{2}And hee did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done. 
\verseNumber{3}He opened the doores of the house of the Lord in the first yeere, and in the first moneth of his reigne, and repared them. 
\verseNumber{4}And he brought in the Priests and the Leuites, and gathered them into the East streete, 
\verseNumber{5}And said vnto them, Heare me, ye Leuites: sanctifie nowe your selues, and sanctifie the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cary forth the filthinesse out of the Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{6}For our fathers haue trespassed, and done euill in the eyes of the Lord our God, and haue forsaken him, and turned away their faces from the Tabernacle of the Lord, and turned their backes. 
\verseNumber{7}They haue also shut the doores of ye porch, and quenched the lampes, and haue neither burnt incense, nor offred burnt offrings in the Sanctuarie vnto the God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{8}Wherfore the wrath of the Lord hath bin on Iudah and Ierusalem: and he hath made them a scattering, a desolation, and an hissing, as ye see with your eyes. 
\verseNumber{9}For lo, our fathers are fallen by the sword, and our sonnes, and our daughters, and our wiues are in captiuitie for the same cause. 
\verseNumber{10}Now I purpose to make a couenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turne away his fierce wrath from vs. 
\verseNumber{11}Now my sonnes, be not deceiued: for the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, to serue him, and to be his ministers, and to burne incense. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the Leuites arose, Mahath ye sonne of Amashai, and Ioel the sonne of Azariah of the sonnes of the Kohathites: and of the sonnes of Merari, Kish the sonne of Abdi, and Azariah the sonne of Iehalelel: and of the Gershonites, Ioah the sonne of Zimmah, and Eden the sonne of Ioah: 
\verseNumber{13}And of the sonnes of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Iehiel: and of the sonnes of Asaph, Zechariah, and Mattaniah: 
\verseNumber{14}And of the sonnes of Heman, Iehiel, and Shimei: and of the sonnes of Ieduthun, Shemaiah and Vzziel. 
\verseNumber{15}And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselues and came according to the commandement of the King, and by the words of the Lord, for to clense the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Priests went into the inner partes of the house of the Lord, to clense it, and brought out all the vncleannesse that they founde in the Temple of the Lord, into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Leuites tooke it, to cary it out vnto the brooke Kidron. 
\verseNumber{17}They began the first day of the first moneth to sanctifie it, and the eight day of the moneth came they to the porche of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight dayes, and in the sixeteenth day of the first moneth they made an ende. 
\verseNumber{18}Then they went in to Hezekiah ye King, and sayde, We haue clensed all the house of the Lord and the altar of burnt offring, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof: 
\verseNumber{19}And all the vessels which King Ahaz had cast aside when he reigned, and transgressed, haue we prepared and sanctified: and beholde, they are before the altar of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}And Hezekiah the King rose early, and gathered the princes of the citie, and went vp to the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}And they brought seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and seuen lambes, and seuen hee goates, for a sinne offring for the kingdome, and for the sanctuarie, and for Iudah. And he commanded the Priests the sonnes of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}So they slewe the bullockes, and the Priests receiued the blood, and sprinkled it vpon the altar: they slew also the rammes and sprinkled the blood vpon the altar, and they slew the lambes, and they sprinkled the blood vpon the altar. 
\verseNumber{23}Then they brought the hee goates for the sinne offring before the King and the Congregation, and they layde their hands vpon them. 
\verseNumber{24}And the Priests slewe them, and with the blood of them they clensed the altar to reconcile all Israel: for the King had commanded for all Israel the burnt offring and the sinne offring. 
\verseNumber{25}He appointed also the Leuites in the house of the Lord with cymbales, with violes, and with harpes, according to the commandement of Dauid, and Gad the Kings Seer, and Nathan the Prophet: for the commandement was by the hande of the Lord, and by the hande of his Prophets. 
\verseNumber{26}And the Leuites stood with the instruments of Dauid, and the Priests with the trumpets. 
\verseNumber{27}And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offring vpon the altar: and when the burnt offring began, the song of the Lord beganne with the trumpets, and the instruments of Dauid King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{28}And al the Congregation worshipped, singing a song, and they blew the trumpets: all this continued vntill the burnt offring was finished. 
\verseNumber{29}And when they had made an ende of offring, the King and all that were present with him, bowed themselues, and worshipped. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Hezekiah the King and the princes commanded the Leuites to prayse the Lord with the wordes of Dauid, and of Asaph the Seer. so they praysed with ioy, and they bowed themselues, and worshipped. 
\verseNumber{31}And Hezekiah spake, and sayde, Now ye haue consecrate your selues to the Lord: come neere and bring the sacrifices and offerings of prayse into the house of the Lord. And the Congregation brought sacrifices; and offrings of prayses, and euery man that was willing in heart, offred burnt offrings. 
\verseNumber{32}And the nomber of the burnt offrings, which the Congregation brought, was seuentie bullockes, an hundreth rammes, and two hundreth lambes: all these were for a burnt offring to the Lord: 
\verseNumber{33}And for sanctification sixe hundreth bullockes, and three thousand sheepe. 
\verseNumber{34}But the Priests were too few, and were not able to flay all the burnt offrings: therefore their brethren the Leuites did helpe them, til they had ended the worke, and vntill other Priests were sanctified: for the Leuites were more vpright in heart to sanctifie themselues, then the Priests. 
\verseNumber{35}And also the burnt offerings were many with the fat of the peace offrings and the drinke offrings for the burnt offring. so the seruice of the house of the Lord was set in order. 
\verseNumber{36}Then Hezekiah reioyced and all the people, that God had made the people so ready: for the thing was done suddenly. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{30}And Hezekiah sent to all Israel, and Iudah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Ierusalem, to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}And the King and his princes and all the Congregation had taken counsel in Ierusalem to keepe the Passeouer in the second moneth. 
\verseNumber{3}For they could not keepe it at this time, because there were not Priests enow sanctified, neither was the people gathered to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{4}And the thing pleased the King, and all the Congregation. 
\verseNumber{5}And they decreed to make proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba euen to Dan, that they should come to keepe the Passeouer vnto the Lord God of Israel at Ierusalem: for they had not done it of a great time, as it was written. 
\verseNumber{6}So the postes went with letters by the commission of the King, and his princes, thorowout all Israel and Iudah, and with the commandement of the King, saying, Ye children of Israel, turne againe vnto the Lord God of Abraham, Izhak, and Israel, and he will returne to the remnant that are escaped of you, out of ye hands of the Kings of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{7}And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers: and therfore he made them desolate, as ye see. 
\verseNumber{8}Be not ye now stiffenecked like your fathers, but giue the hand to the Lord, and come into his sanctuarie, which he hath sanctified for euer, and serue the Lord your God, and the fiercenesse of his wrath shall turne away from you. 
\verseNumber{9}For if ye returne vnto the Lord, your brethren and your children shall finde mercy before them that led them captiues, and they shall returne vnto this lande: for the Lord your God is gracious and mercifull, and will not turne away his face from you, if ye conuert vnto him. 
\verseNumber{10}So the postes went from citie to citie thorow the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, euen vnto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorne, and mocked them. 
\verseNumber{11}Neuerthelesse diuers of Asher, and Manasseh, and of Zebulun submitted themselues, and came to Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{12}And the hand of God was in Iudah, so that he gaue them one heart to doe the commandement of the King, and of the rulers, according to the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}And there assembled to Ierusalem much people, to keepe the feast of ye vnleauened bread in the second moneth, a very great assemblie. 
\verseNumber{14}And they arose, and tooke away the altars that were in Ierusalem: and all those for incense tooke they away, and cast them into the brooke Kidron. 
\verseNumber{15}Afterwarde they slewe the Passeouer the fourteenth day of the seconde moneth: and the Priestes and Leuites were ashamed, and sanctified themselues, and brought the burnt offrings into the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}And they stoode in their place after their maner, according to the Lawe of Moses the man of God: and the Priestes sprinkled the blood, receiued of the handes of the Leuites. 
\verseNumber{17}Because there were many in the Congregation that were not sanctified, therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of ye Passeouer for all that were not cleane, to sanctifie it to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}For a multitude of the people, euen a multitude of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not cleansed themselues, yet did eate the Passeouer, but not as it was written: wherefore Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Lord be mercifull toward him, 
\verseNumber{19}That prepareth his whole heart to seeke the Lord God, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed, according to the purification of the Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{20}And the Lord heard Hezekiah, and healed the people. 
\verseNumber{21}And the children of Israel that were present at Ierusalem, kept the feast of the vnleauened bread seuen dayes with great ioye, and the Leuites, and the Priestes praysed the Lord, day by day, singing with loude instruments vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}And Hezekiah spake comfortably vnto all the Leuites that had good knowledge to sing vnto the Lord: and they did eate in that feast seuen dayes, and offred peace offrings, and praysed the Lord God of their fathers. 
\verseNumber{23}And the whole assembly tooke counsel to keepe it other seuen dayes. So they kept it seuen dayes with ioy. 
\verseNumber{24}For Hezekiah King of Iudah had giuen to the Congregation a thousande bullockes, and seuen thousand sheepe. And the princes had giuen to the Congregation a thousand bullocks, and ten thousand sheepe: and many Priests were sanctified. 
\verseNumber{25}And all the Congregation of Iudah reioyced with the Priestes and the Leuites, and all the Congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Iudah. 
\verseNumber{26}So there was great ioye in Ierusalem: for since the time of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel there was not the like thing in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{27}Then the Priests and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people, and their voyce was heard, and their prayer came vp vnto heauen, to his holy habitation. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{31}And when all these thinges were finished, all Israel that were found in the cities of Iudah, went out and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake downe the hie places, and the altars thorowout all Iudah and Beniamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, vntil they had made an ende: afterwarde all the children of Israel returned euery man to his possession, into their owne cities. 
\verseNumber{2}And Hezekiah appoynted the courses of the Priests and Leuites by their turnes, euery man according to his office, both Priestes and Leuites, for the burnt offring and peace offrings, to minister and to giue thankes, and to prayse in the gates of the tentes of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}(And the Kings portion was of his owne substance for the burnt offrings, euen for ye burnt offrings of the morning and of the euening, and the burnt offrings for the Sabbaths, and for the new moones, and for the solemne feastes, as it is written in the Law of the Lord) 
\verseNumber{4}He commanded also the people that dwelt in Ierusalem, to giue a part to the Priestes, and Leuites, that they might be encouraged in the Law of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}And when the commandement was spread, the children of Israel brought abundance of first fruites, of corne, wine, and oyle, and honie, and of all the increase of the fielde, and the tithes of all things brought they abundantly. 
\verseNumber{6}And the children of Israel and Iudah that dwelt in ye cities of Iudah, they also brought the tithes of bullockes and sheepe, and the holy tithes which were consecrate vnto the Lord their God, and laide them on many heapes. 
\verseNumber{7}In the thirde moneth they beganne to lay the foundation of the heapes, and finished them in the seuenth moneth. 
\verseNumber{8}And when Hezekiah and the princes came, and saw the heapes, they blessed the Lord and his people Israel. 
\verseNumber{9}And Hezekiah questioned with the Priests and the Leuites concerning the heapes. 
\verseNumber{10}And Azariah the chiefe Priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and sayde, Since the people beganne to bring the offrings into the house of the Lord, we haue eaten and haue bene satisfied, and there is left in abundance: for the Lord hath blessed his people, and this abundance that is left. 
\verseNumber{11}And Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord: and they prepared them, 
\verseNumber{12}And caryed in the first fruites, and the tithes, and the dedicate things faithfully: and ouer them was Conaniah the Leuite, the chiefe, and Shimei his brother the seconde. 
\verseNumber{13}And Iehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Ierimoth, and Iozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah were ouerseers by the appointment of Conaniah, and Shimei his brother, and by the commandement of Hezekiah the King, and of Azariah the chiefe of the house of God. 
\verseNumber{14}And Kore the sonne of Imnah the Leuite porter towarde the East, was ouer the things that were willingly offred vnto God, to distribute the oblations of the Lord, and the holy things that were consecrate. 
\verseNumber{15}And at his hande were Eden, and Miniamin, and Ieshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in the cities of the Priestes, to distribute with fidelitie to their brethren by courses, both to the great and small, 
\verseNumber{16}Their daily portion: beside their generation being males from three yeere olde and aboue, euen to all that entred into the house of the Lord to their office in their charge, according to their courses: 
\verseNumber{17}Both to the generation of the Priestes after the house of their fathers, and to the Leuites from twentie yeere olde and aboue, according to their charge in their courses: 
\verseNumber{18}And to the generation of all their children, their wiues, and their sonnes and their daughters throughout all ye Congregation: for by their fidelitie are they partakers of the holy things. 
\verseNumber{19}Also to the sonnes of Aaron, the Priestes, which were in the fieldes and suburbes of their cities, in euery citie the men that were appointed by names, shoulde giue portions to all the males of the Priestes, and to all the generation of the Leuites. 
\verseNumber{20}And thus did Hezekiah throughout al Iudah, and did well, and vprightly, and truely before the Lord his God. 
\verseNumber{21}And in all the workes that he began for the seruice of the house of God, both in the Law and in the commandements, to seeke his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{32}After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe. 
\verseNumber{2}When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem, 
\verseNumber{3}Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him. 
\verseNumber{4}So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water? 
\verseNumber{5}And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields. 
\verseNumber{6}And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying, 
\verseNumber{7}Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him. 
\verseNumber{8}With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{9}After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying, 
\verseNumber{10}Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege? 
\verseNumber{11}Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur? 
\verseNumber{12}Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it? 
\verseNumber{13}Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande? 
\verseNumber{14}Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand? 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande? 
\verseNumber{16}And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah. 
\verseNumber{17}He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande. 
\verseNumber{18}Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie. 
\verseNumber{19}Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands, 
\verseNumber{20}But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen. 
\verseNumber{21}And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde. 
\verseNumber{22}So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side. 
\verseNumber{23}And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth. 
\verseNumber{24}In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe. 
\verseNumber{25}But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{26}Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah. 
\verseNumber{27}Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels: 
\verseNumber{28}And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables. 
\verseNumber{29}And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much. 
\verseNumber{30}This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes. 
\verseNumber{31}But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart. 
\verseNumber{32}Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel. 
\verseNumber{33}So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{33}Manasseh was twelue yeere olde, when he beganne to reigne, and he reigned fiue and fiftie yeere in Ierusalem: 
\verseNumber{2}And he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the abominations of the heathen, who the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}For he went backe and built the hie places, which Hezekiah his father had broken downe: and he set vp altars for Baalim, and made groues, and worshipped all the hoste of the heauen, and serued them. 
\verseNumber{4}Also he built altars in the house of the Lord, whereof the Lord had saide, In Ierusalem shall my Name be for euer. 
\verseNumber{5}And he built altars for all the hoste of the heauen in the two courtes of the house of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}And he caused his sonnes to passe through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom: he gaue him selfe to witchcraft and to charming and to sorcerie, and he vsed them that had familiar spirits, and soothsayers: hee did very much euill in the sight of the Lord to anger him. 
\verseNumber{7}He put also the carued image, which he had made, in the house of God: whereof God had said to Dauid and to Salomon his sonne, In this house and in Ierusalem, which I haue chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my Name for euer, 
\verseNumber{8}Neither will I make the foote of Israel to remooue any more out of the lande which I haue appointed for your fathers, so that they take heede, and do all that I haue commanded them, according to the Lawe and statutes and iudgements by the hande of Moses. 
\verseNumber{9}So Manasseh made Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem to erre, and to doe worse then the heathen, whome the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Lord spake to Manasseh and to his people, but they would not regarde. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore the Lord brought vpon them the captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur, which tooke Manasseh and put him in fetters, and bound him in chaines, and caryed him to Babel. 
\verseNumber{12}And when he was in tribulation, he prayed to the Lord his God, and humbled him selfe greatly before the God of his fathers, 
\verseNumber{13}And prayed vnto him: and God was entreated of him, and heard his prayer, and brought him againe to Ierusalem into his kingdome: then Manasseh knewe that the Lord was God. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe after this he built a wall without the citie of Dauid, on the Westside of Gihon in the valley, euen at the entrie of the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it very hie, and put captaines of warre in all the strong cities of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{15}And he tooke away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord, and in Ierusalem, and cast them out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{16}Also he prepared the altar of the Lord, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings, and of thankes, and commanded Iudah to serue the Lord God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{17}Neuerthelesse the people did sacrifice stil in the hie places, but vnto the Lord their God. 
\verseNumber{18}Concerning the rest of the actes of Manasseh, and his prayer vnto his God, and the words of the Seers, that spake to him in ye Name of the Lord God of Israel, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Israel.

\verseNumber{12}Now therfore shall ye not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor seeke their peace nor wealth for euer, that yee may be strong and eate the goodnes of the lande, and leaue it for an inheritance to your sonnes for euer. 
\verseNumber{13}And after all that is come vpon vs for our euill deedes, and for our great trespasses, (seeing that thou our God hast stayed vs from being beneath for our iniquities, and hast giuen vs such deliuerance) 
\verseNumber{14}Should we returne to breake thy commadements, and ioyne in affinitie with the people of such abominations? wouldest not thou be angrie towarde vs till thou haddest consumed vs, so that there should be no remnant nor any escaping? 
\verseNumber{15}O Lord God of Israel, thou art iust, for we haue bene reserued to escape, as appeareth this day: beholde, we are before thee in our trespasse: therfore we canot stand before thee because of it.

\chapterNumber{10}Whiles Ezra prayed thus, and confessed himselfe weeping, and falling downe before the house of God, there assembled vnto him of Israel a very great Congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept with a great lamentation. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Shechaniah the sonne of Iehiel one of the sonnes of Elam answered, and sayd to Ezra, We haue trespassed against our God, and haue taken strange wiues of the people of the land, yet nowe there is hope in Israel concerning this. 
\verseNumber{3}Now therfore let vs make a couenant with our God, to put away all the wiues (and such as are borne of them) according to the counsell of the Lord, and of those that feare the commandements of our God, and let it be done according to the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{4}Arise: for the matter belogeth vnto thee: we also wil be with thee: be of comfort and do it. 
\verseNumber{5}Then arose Ezra, and caused the chiefe Priestes, the Leuites, and all Israel, to sweare that they would doe according to this worde. So they sware. 
\verseNumber{6}And Ezra rose vp from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib: he went euen thither, but he did eate neither bread, nor drunke water: for he mourned, because of the transgression of them of the captiuitie. 
\verseNumber{7}And they caused a proclamation to goe throughout Iudah and Ierusalem, vnto all them of the captiuitie, that they should assemble themselues vnto Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{8}And whosoeuer woulde not come within three dayes according to the counsel of the Princes and Elders, all his substance should be forfait, and he should be separate from the Congregation of them of the captiuitie.

\verseNumber{10}And Ezra the Priest stoode vp, and said vnto them, Ye haue transgressed, and haue taken strange wiues, to increase the trespasse of Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}Now therefore giue praise vnto the Lord God of your fathers, and do his will, and separate your selues from the people of the land, and from the strange wiues. 
\verseNumber{12}And all the Congregation answered, and sayd with a loude voyce, So will we do according to thy wordes vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{13}But the people are many, and it is a raynie weather, and we are not able to stande without, neither is it the worke of one day or two: for we are many that haue offended in this thing. 
\verseNumber{14}Let our rulers stand therefore before all the Congregation, and let all them which haue taken strange wiues in our cities, come at the time appoynted, and with them the Elders of euery citie and the Iudges thereof, til the fierce wrath of our God for this matter turne away from vs.

\chapterNumber{1}The words of Nehemiah the sonne of Hachaliah. In ye moneth Chisleu, in the twentieth yeere, as I was in the palace of Shushan, 
\verseNumber{2}Came Hanam, one of my brethren, he and the men of Iudah, and I asked them concerning the Iewes that were deliuered, which were of the residue of the captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{3}And they sayde vnto me, The residue that are left of the captiuitie there in the prouince, are in great affliction and in reproche, and the wall of Ierusalem is broken downe, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire. 
\verseNumber{4}And when I heard these wordes, I sate downe and wept, and mourned certeine dayes, and I fasted and prayed before the God of heauen, 
\verseNumber{5}And sayde, O Lord God of heauen, the great and terrible God, that keepeth couenant and mercy for them that loue him, and obserue his commandements, 
\verseNumber{6}I pray thee, let thine eares be attet, and thine eies open, to heare the praier of thy seruat, which I pray before thee dayly, day and night for ye childre of Israel thy seruats, and confesse the sinnes of the children of Israel, which we haue sinned against thee, both I and my fathers house haue sinned: 
\verseNumber{7}We haue grieuously sinned against thee, and haue not kept the commandements, nor the statutes, nor the iudgements, which thou commandedst thy seruant Moses. 
\verseNumber{8}I beseeche thee, remember the worde that thou commandedst thy seruant Moses, saying, Ye wil transgresse, and I will scatter you abroade among the people. 
\verseNumber{9}But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe my commandements, and doe them, though your scattering were to the vttermost part of the heauen, yet will I gather you from thence, and will bring you vnto the place that I haue chosen to place my Name there. 
\verseNumber{10}Now these are thy seruants and thy people, whome thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy mightie hand. 
\verseNumber{11}O Lord, I beseech thee, let thine eare now hearken to the prayer of thy seruant, and to the prayer of thy seruants, who desire to feare thy Name, and I pray thee, cause thy seruant to prosper this day, and giue him fauour in the presence of this man: for I was the Kings butler.

\chapterNumber{2}Nowe in the moneth Nisan in the twentieth yere of king Artahshashte, the wine stoode before him, and I tooke vp the wine, and gaue it vnto the King. nowe I was not before time sad in his presence. 
\verseNumber{2}And the king said vnto me, Why is thy coutenance sad, seeing thou art not sicke? this is nothing, but sorow of heart. Then was I sore afrayd, 
\verseNumber{3}And I said to the King, God saue the King for euer: why should not my countenance be sad, when the citie and house of the sepulchres of my fathers lieth waste, and the gates thereof are deuoured with fire? 
\verseNumber{4}And the King said vnto me, For what thing doest thou require? Then I prayed to the God of heauen, 
\verseNumber{5}And sayde vnto the King, If it please the King, and if thy seruant haue found fauour in thy sight, I desire that thou wouldest send me to Iudah vnto the city of the sepulchres of my fathers, that I may buyld it. 
\verseNumber{6}And the King sayd vnto me, (the Queene also sitting by him) How long shall thy iourney be? and when wilt thou come againe? So it pleased the King, and he sent me, and I set him a time. 
\verseNumber{7}After I saide vnto the King, If it please the King, let them giue mee letters to the captaines beyond the Riuer, that they may conuay me ouer, till I come into Iudah, 
\verseNumber{8}And letters vnto Asaph the keeper of the Kings parke, that hee may giue me timber to buylde the gates of the palace (which apperteined to the house) and for the walles of the citie, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the King gaue me according to the good hand of my God vpon me. 
\verseNumber{9}Then came I to the captaines beyonde the Riuer, and gaue them the Kings letters. And the King had sent captaines of the armie and horsemen with me. 
\verseNumber{10}But Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah a seruant an Ammonite heard it, and it grieued them sore, that there was come a man which sought the wealth of the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}So I came to Ierusalem, and was there three dayes. 
\verseNumber{12}And I rose in the night, I, and a fewe men with me: for I told no man, what God had put in mine heart to do at Ierusalem, and there was not a beast with me, saue the beast whereon I rode. 
\verseNumber{13}And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, and came before the dragon well, and to the dung porte, and vewed the walles of Ierusalem, howe they were broken downe, and the portes thereof deuoured with the fire. 
\verseNumber{14}Then I went foorth vnto the gate of the fountaine, and to the Kings fishpoole, and there was no rowme for the beast that was vnder me to passe. 
\verseNumber{15}Then went I vp in ye night by the brooke, and viewed the wall, and turned backe, and comming backe, I entred by the gate of the valley and returned. 
\verseNumber{16}And the rulers knewe not whither I was gone, nor what I did, neither did I as yet tell it vnto the Iewes, nor to the Priestes, nor to the noble men, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that laboured in the worke. 
\verseNumber{17}Afterward I said vnto them, Ye see the miserie that we are in, how Ierusalem lyeth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire: come and let vs buylde the wall of Ierusalem, that we be no more a reproche. 
\verseNumber{18}Then I tolde them of the hande of my God, (which was good ouer me) and also of the Kings wordes that he had spoken vnto me. And they sayd, Let vs rise, and buyld. So they strengthened their hand to good. 
\verseNumber{19}But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the seruant an Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian heard it, they mocked vs and despised vs, and said, What a thing is this that ye doe? Will ye rebell against the King? 
\verseNumber{20}Then answered I them, and sayd to them, The God of heauen, he will prosper vs, and we his seruants will rise vp and buylde: but as for you, ye haue no portion nor right, nor memoriall in Ierusalem.

\chapterNumber{4}But when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, then was he wroth and sore grieued, and mocked the Iewes, 
\verseNumber{2}And sayde before his brethren and the armie of Samaria, thus he sayde, What doe these weake Iewes? wil they fortifie them selues? wil they sacrifice? will they finish it in a day? will they make the stones whole againe out of the heapes of dust, seeing they are burnt? 
\verseNumber{3}And Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and said, Although they buylde, yet if a foxe goe vp, he shall euen breake downe their stonie wall. 
\verseNumber{4}Heare, O our God (for we are despised) and turne their shame vpon their owne head, and giue them vnto a pray in the lande of their captiuitie, 
\verseNumber{5}And couer not their iniquitie, neither let their sinne be put out in thy presence: for they haue prouoked vs before the builders. 
\verseNumber{6}So we built the wall, and all the wall was ioyned vnto the halfe thereof, and the heart of the people was to worke. 
\verseNumber{7}But when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodims heard that the walles of Ierusalem were repayred, (for the breaches began to be stopped) then they were very wroth, 
\verseNumber{8}And conspired all together to come and to fight against Ierusalem, and to hinder them. 
\verseNumber{9}The we prayed vnto our God, and set watchmen by them, day and night, because of them. 
\verseNumber{10}And Iudah said, The strength of the bearers is weakened, and there is much earth, so that we are not able to build the wall. 
\verseNumber{11}Also our aduersaries had sayde, They shall not knowe, neither see, till we come into the middes of them and slay them, and cause the worke to cease. 
\verseNumber{12}But when the Iewes (which dwelt beside them) came, they told vs ten times, From all places whence ye shall returne, they wil be vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall vpon the toppes of the stones, and placed the people by their families, with their swordes, their speares and their bowes. 
\verseNumber{14}Then I behelde, and rose vp, and said vnto the Princes, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afrayde of them: remember the great Lord, and fearefull, and fight for your brethren, your sonnes, and your daughters, your wiues, and your houses. 
\verseNumber{15}And when our enemies heard that it was knowen vnto vs, then God brought their counsell to nought, and we turned all againe to the wall, euery one vnto his worke. 
\verseNumber{16}And from that day, halfe of the yong men did the labour, and the other halfe part of them helde the speares, and shieldes, and bowes, and habergins: and the rulers stoode behinde all the house of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{17}They that buylded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, and they that laded, did the worke with one hand, and with the other helde the sworde. 
\verseNumber{18}For euery one of the buylders had his sworde girded on his loynes, and so buylded: and he that blewe the trumpet, was beside me. 
\verseNumber{19}Then saide I vnto the Princes, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The worke is great and large, and we are separated vpon the wall, one farre from another. 
\verseNumber{20}In what place therefore ye heare the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither vnto vs: our God shall fight for vs. 
\verseNumber{21}So we laboured in the worke, and halfe of them helde the speares, from the appearing of the morning, till the starres came foorth. 
\verseNumber{22}And at the same time said I vnto the people, Let euery one with his seruant lodge within Ierusalem, that they may be a watch for vs in the night, and labour in the day. 
\verseNumber{23}So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my seruants, nor the men of the warde, (which followed me) none of vs did put off our clothes, saue euery one put them off for washing.

\chapterNumber{5}Nowe there was a great crie of the people, and of their wiues against their brethren the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{2}For there were that said, We, our sonnes and our daughters are many, therefore we take vp corne, that we may eate and liue. 
\verseNumber{3}And there were that saide, We must gage our landes, and our vineyardes, and our houses, and take vp corne for the famine. 
\verseNumber{4}There were also that said, We haue borowed money for the Kings tribute vpon our landes and our vineyardes. 
\verseNumber{5}And nowe our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, and our sonnes as their sonnes: and lo, we bring into subiection our sonnes and our daughters, as seruants, and there be of our daughters nowe in subiection, and there is no power in our handes: for other men haue our landes and our vineyardes. 
\verseNumber{6}Then was I very angrie when I heard their crie and these wordes. 
\verseNumber{7}And I thought in my minde, and I rebuked the princes, and the rulers, and saide vnto them, You lay burthens euery one vpon his brethren: and I set a great assemblie against them, 
\verseNumber{8}And I said vnto them, We (according to our abilitie) haue redeemed our brethren the Iewes, which were solde vnto the heathen: and will you sell your brethren againe, or shall they be solde vnto vs? Then helde they their peace, and could not answere. 
\verseNumber{9}I said also, That which ye do, is not good. Ought ye not to walke in the feare of our God, for the reproche of the heathen our enemies? 
\verseNumber{10}For euen I, my brethren, and my seruants doe lende them money and corne: I pray you, let vs leaue off this burden. 
\verseNumber{11}Restore, I pray you, vnto them this day their landes, their vineyardes, their oliues, and their houses, and remit the hundreth part of the siluer and of the corne, of the wine, and of the oyle that ye exact of them. 
\verseNumber{12}Then said they, We will restore it, and will not require it of them: we will doe as thou hast said. Then I called the Priestes, and caused them to sweare, that they shoulde doe according to this promise. 
\verseNumber{13}So I shooke my lappe, and said, So let God shake out euery man that wil not perfourme this promise from his house, and from his labour: euen thus let him be shaken out, and emptied. And all the Cogregation said, Amen, and praised the Lord: and the people did according to this promise. 
\verseNumber{14}And from the time that the King gaue me charge to be gouernour in the lande of Iudah, from the twentieth yeere, euen vnto the two and thirtieth yeere of King Artahshashte, that is, twelue yeere, I, and my brethren haue not eaten the bread of the gouernour. 
\verseNumber{15}For the former gouernours that were before me, had bene chargeable vnto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, besides fourtie shekels of siluer: yea, and their seruants bare rule ouer the people: but so did not I, because of the feare of God. 
\verseNumber{16}But rather I fortified a portion in the worke of this wall, and we bought no lande, and all my seruants came thither together vnto the worke. 
\verseNumber{17}Moreouer there were at my table an hundreth and fiftie of the Iewes, and rulers, which came vnto vs from among the heathen that are about vs. 
\verseNumber{18}And there was prepared daily an oxe, and sixe chosen sheepe, and birdes were prepared for me, and within ten dayes wine for all in abundance. Yet for all this I required not the bread of the gouernour: for the bondage was grieuous vnto this people.

\chapterNumber{6}And when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and that there were no more breaches therein, (though at that time I had not set vp the doores vpon the gates) 
\verseNumber{2}Then sent Sanballat and Geshem vnto me, saying, Come thou that we may meete together in the villages in the plaine of Ono: and they thought to doe me euill. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore I sent messengers vnto them, saying, I haue a great worke to doe, and I can not come downe: why should the worke cease, whiles I leaue it, and come downe to you? 
\verseNumber{4}Yet they sent vnto me foure times after this sort. And I answered them after the same maner.

\verseNumber{6}Thou art Lord alone: thou hast made heauen, and the heauen of all heauens, with all their hoste, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and al that are in them, and thou preseruest them all, and the host of the heauen worshippeth thee. 
\verseNumber{7}Thou art, O Lord, the God, that hast chosen Abram, and broughtest him out of Vr in Caldea, and madest his name Abraham, 
\verseNumber{8}And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a couenant with him, to giue vnto his seede the lande of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, and Perizzites, and Iebusites, and Girgashites, and hast performed thy wordes, because thou art iust. 
\verseNumber{9}Thou hast also considered the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the red Sea, 
\verseNumber{10}And shewed tokens and wonders vpon Pharaoh, and on all his seruants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudely against them: therefore thou madest thee a Name, as appeareth this day. 
\verseNumber{11}For thou didest breake vp the Sea before them, and they went through the middes of the Sea on dry lande: and those that pursued them, hast thou cast into the bottomes as a stone, in the mightie waters: 
\verseNumber{12}And leddest them in the day with a pillar of a cloude, and in the night with a pillar of fire to giue them light in the way that they went. 
\verseNumber{13}Thou camest downe also vpon mount Sinai, and spakest vnto them from heauen, and gauest them right iudgements, and true lawes, ordinances and good commandements, 
\verseNumber{14}And declaredst vnto them thine holy Sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, and ordinances, and lawes, by the hande of Moses thy seruant: 
\verseNumber{15}And gauest them bread from heauen for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rocke for their thirst: and promisedst them that they shoulde goe in, and take possession of the land: for the which thou haddest lift vp thine hand for to giue them. 
\verseNumber{16}But they and our fathers behaued them selues proudely, and hardened their neck, so that they hearkened not vnto thy commandements, 
\verseNumber{17}But refused to obey, and would not remember thy marueilous works that thou haddest done for them, but hardened their neckes, and had in their heads to returne to their bondage by their rebellion: but thou, O God of mercies, gratious and full of compassion, of long suffring and of great mercie, yet forsookest them not. 
\verseNumber{18}Moreouer, when they made them a molten calfe (and said, This is thy God that brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt) and committed great blasphemies, 
\verseNumber{19}Yet thou for thy great mercies forsookest them not in the wildernesse: the pillar of the cloude departed not from them by day to leade them the way, neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way whereby they should goe. 
\verseNumber{20}Thou gauest also thy good Spirite to instruct them, and withheldest not thy MAN from their mouth, and gauest them water for their thirst. 
\verseNumber{21}Thou didest also feede them fourtie yeres in ye wildernes: they lacked nothing: their clothes waxed not old, and their feete swelled not. 
\verseNumber{22}And thou gauest them kingdomes and people, and scatteredst them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon and the land of ye King of Heshbon, and the land of Og King of Bashan. 
\verseNumber{23}And thou diddest multiplie their children, like the starres of the heauen, and broughtest them into the lande, whereof thou haddest spoken vnto their fathers, that they should goe, and possesse it. 
\verseNumber{24}So the children went in, and possessed the lande, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the lande, euen the Canaanites, and gauest them into their handes, with their Kings and the people of the lande, that they might do with them what they would. 
\verseNumber{25}And they tooke their strong cities and the fat lande, and possessed houses, full of all goods, cisternes digged out, vineyardes, and oliues, and trees for foode in abundance, and they did eate, and were filled, and became fat, and liued in pleasure through thy great goodnesse. 
\verseNumber{26}Yet they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy Lawe behinde their backes, and slewe thy Prophets (which protested among them to turne them vnto thee) and committed great blasphemies. 
\verseNumber{27}Therefore thou deliueredst them into the hande of their enemies that vexed them: yet in the time of their affliction, when they cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from the heauen, and through thy great mercies thou gauest them sauiours, who saued them out of the hande of their aduersaries. 
\verseNumber{28}But when they had rest, they returned to doe euill before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hande of their enemies, so that they had the dominion ouer them, yet when they conuerted and cryed vnto thee, thou heardest them from heauen, and deliueredst them according to thy great mercies many times, 
\verseNumber{29}And protestedst among them that thou mightest bring them againe vnto thy Lawe: but they behaued them selues proudely, and hearkened not vnto thy commandements, but sinned against thy iudgements (which a man should doe and liue in them) and pulled away the shoulder, and were stiffenecked, and woulde not heare. 
\verseNumber{30}Yet thou diddest forbeare them many yeeres, and protestedst among them by thy Spirite, euen by the hande of thy Prophets, but they woulde not heare: therefore gauest thou them into the hande of the people of the lands. 
\verseNumber{31}Yet for thy great mercies thou hast not consumed them, neither forsaken them: for thou art a gracious and mercifull God. 
\verseNumber{32}Nowe therefore our God, thou great God, mightie and terrible, that keepest couenant and mercie, let not all the affliction that hath come vnto vs, seeme a litle before thee, that is, to our Kings, to our princes, and to our Priests, and to our Prophets, and to our fathers, and to all thy people since the time of the Kings of Asshur vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{33}Surely thou art iust in all that is come vpon vs: for thou hast dealt truely, but we haue done wickedly. 
\verseNumber{34}And our kings and our princes, our Priests and our fathers haue not done thy Lawe, nor regarded thy commandements nor thy protestations, wherewith thou hast protested among them. 
\verseNumber{35}And they haue not serued thee in their kingdome, and in thy great goodnesse that thou shewedst vnto them, and in the large and fat lande which thou diddest set before them, and haue not conuerted from their euill workes. 
\verseNumber{36}Beholde, we are seruants this day, and the lande that thou gauest vnto our fathers, to eate the fruite thereof, and the goodnesse thereof, beholde, we are seruants therein. 
\verseNumber{37}And it yeeldeth much fruit vnto the kings whom thou hast set ouer vs, because of our sinnes: and they haue dominion ouer our bodyes and ouer our cattell at their pleasure, and we are in great affliction.

\verseNumber{3}Now when they had heard the Lawe, they separated from Israel all those that were mixed. 
\verseNumber{4}And before this had the Priest Eliashib the ouersight of the chamber of the house of our God, being kinsman to Tobiah: 
\verseNumber{5}And he had made him a great chamber and there had they aforetime layde the offringes, the incense, and the vessels, and the tithes of corne, of wine, and of oyle (appointed for the Leuites, and the singers, and the porters) and the offringes of the Priests. 
\verseNumber{6}But in all this time was not I in Ierusalem: for in the two and thirtieth yere of Artahshashte King of Babel, came I vnto the King, and after certaine dayes I obteined of the King. 
\verseNumber{7}And when I was come to Ierusalem, I vnderstood the euil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in that hee had made him a chamber in the court of the house of God,

\verseNumber{9}And I commanded them to clense ye chambers: and thither brought I againe the vessels of the house of God with the meate offring and the incense. 
\verseNumber{10}And I perceiued that the portions of the Leuites had not bene giuen, and that euery one was fled to his lande, euen the Leuites and singers that executed the worke. 
\verseNumber{11}Then reproued I the rulers and sayd, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I assembled them, and set them in their place. 
\verseNumber{12}Then brought all Iudah the tithes of corne and of wine, and of oyle vnto the treasures. 
\verseNumber{13}And I made treasurers ouer the treasures, Shelemiah the Priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Leuites, Pedaiah, and vnder their hande Hanan the sonne of Zaccur the sonne of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithfull, and their office was to distribute vnto their brethren.

\verseNumber{16}There dwelt men of Tyrus also therein, which brought fish and all wares, and solde on the Sabbath vnto the children of Iudah euen in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{17}Then reprooued I the rulers of Iudah, and sayd vnto them, What euil thing is this that yee doe, and breake the Sabbath day? 
\verseNumber{18}Did not your fathers thus, and our God brought all this plague vpon vs, and vpon this citie? yet yee increase the wrath vpon Israel, in breaking the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{19}And when the gates of Ierusalem beganne to be darke before the Sabbath, I commaded to shut the gates, and charged, that they should not be opened til after the Sabbath, and some of my seruants set I at the gates, that there shoulde no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{20}So the chapmen and marchants of al marchandise remained once or twise all night without Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{21}And I protested among them, and said vnto them, Why tary ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once againe, I will lay hands vpon you. from that time came they no more on the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{22}And I sayde vnto the Leuites, that they should clense themselues, and that they shoulde come and keepe the gates, to sanctifie the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to thy great mercy. 
\verseNumber{23}In those dayes also I saw Iewes that married wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab. 
\verseNumber{24}And their children spake halfe in ye speach of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, and according to the language of the one people, and of the other people. 
\verseNumber{25}Then I reprooued them, and cursed them, and smote certaine of them, and pulled off their heare, and tooke an othe of them by God, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, neither shall ye take of their daughters vnto your sonnes, nor for your selues. 
\verseNumber{26}Did not Salomon the king of Israel sinne by these thinges? yet among many nations was there no King like him: for he was beloued of his God, and God had made him King ouer Israel: yet strange women caused him to sinne. 
\verseNumber{27}Shall wee then obey vnto you, to doe all this great euil, and to transgresse against our God, euen to marry strange wiues? 
\verseNumber{28}And one of the sonnes of Ioiada the sonne of Eliashib the hie Priest was the sonne in law of Sanballat the Horonite: but I chased him from me. 
\verseNumber{29}Remember them, O my God, that defile the Priesthoode, and the couenant of the Priesthoode, and of the Leuites. 
\verseNumber{30}Then cleansed I them from all strangers, and appoynted the wardes of the Priestes and of the Leuites, euery one in his office, 
\verseNumber{31}And for the offring of the wood at times appoynted, and for the first fruites. Remember me, O my God, in goodnes.

\chapterNumber{1}In the dayes of Ahashuerosh (this is Ahashuerosh that reigned, from India euen vnto Ethiopia, ouer an hundreth, and seuen and twentie prouinces) 
\verseNumber{2}In those dayes when the King Ahashuerosh sate on his throne, which was in the palace of Shushan, 
\verseNumber{3}In the third yeere of his reigne, he made a feast vnto all his princes and his seruants, euen the power of Persia and Media, and to the captaines and gouernours of the prouinces which were before him, 
\verseNumber{4}That he might shewe the riches and glorie of his kingdome, and the honour of his great maiestie many dayes, euen an hundreth and foure score dayes. 
\verseNumber{5}And when these dayes were expired, the King made a feast to all the people that were founde in the palace of Shushan, both vnto great and small, seuen dayes, in the court of the garden of the Kings palace, 
\verseNumber{6}Vnder an hanging of white, greene, and blue clothes, fastened with cordes of fine linen and purple, in siluer rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of golde, and of siluer vpon a pauement of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and blue colour. 
\verseNumber{7}And they gaue them drinke in vessels of golde, and changed vessel after vessel, and royall wine in abundance according to the power of the King. 
\verseNumber{8}And the drinking was by an order, none might compel: for so the King had appoynted vnto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to euery mans pleasure. 
\verseNumber{9}The Queene Vashti made a feast also for the women in the royall house of King Ahashuerosh. 
\verseNumber{10}Vpon the seuenth daye when the King was merie with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seuen eunuches, (that serued in the presence of King Ahashuerosh) 
\verseNumber{11}To bring Queene Vashti before the King with the crowne royall, that he might shewe the people and the princes her beautie: for shee was fayre to looke vpon. 
\verseNumber{12}But the Queene Vashti refused to come at the Kings worde, which he had giuen in charge to the eunuches: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the King said to the wise men, that knew the times (for so was the Kings maner towards all that knew the law and the iudgement: 
\verseNumber{14}And the next vnto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seuen princes of Persia and Media, which sawe the Kings face, and sate the first in the kingdome) 
\verseNumber{15}What shall we do vnto the Queene Vashti according to the law, because she did not according to the worde of the King Ahashuerosh by the commission of the eunuches? 
\verseNumber{16}Then Memucan answered before the King and the Princes, The Queene Vashti hath not only done euill against the King, but against all the princes, and against all the people that are in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh. 
\verseNumber{17}For the acte of the Queene shall come abroade vnto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their owne eyes, and shall say, The King Ahashuerosh comanded Vashti the Queene to be brought in before him, but she came not. 
\verseNumber{18}So shall the princesses of Persia and Media this day say vnto all the Kings Princes, when they heare of the acte of the Queene: thus shall there be much despitefulnesse and wrath. 
\verseNumber{19}If it please the King, let a royal decree proceede from him, and let it be written among the statutes of Persia, and Media, (and let it not be transgressed) that Vashti come no more before King Ahashuerosh: and let the King giue her royal estate vnto her companion that is better then she. 
\verseNumber{20}And when the decree of the King which shalbe made, shalbe published throughout all his kingdome (though it be great) all the women shall giue their husbands honour, both great and small. 
\verseNumber{21}And this saying pleased the King and the princes, and the King did according to the worde of Memucan. 
\verseNumber{22}For he sent letters into all the prouinces of the King, into euery prouince according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their language, that euery man should beare rule in his owne house, and that he should publish it in the language of that same people.

\chapterNumber{2}After these things, when the wrath of King Ahashuerosh was appeased, he remembred Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, Let them seeke for the King beautifull yong virgins, 
\verseNumber{3}And let the King appoynt officers through all the prouinces of his kingdome, and let them gather all the beautiful yong virgins vnto the palace of Shushan, into the house of the women, vnder the hand of Hege the Kings eunuche, keeper of the women, to giue them their things for purification. 
\verseNumber{4}And the mayde that shall please the King, let her reigne in the steade of Vashti. And this pleased the King, and he did so. 
\verseNumber{5}In the citie of Shushan, there was a certaine Iewe, whose name was Mordecai the sonne of Iair, the sonne of Shimei, the sonne of Kish a man of Iemini, 
\verseNumber{6}Which had bene caryed away from Ierusalem with the captiuitie that was caryed away with Ieconiah King of Iudah (whom Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel had caryed away) 
\verseNumber{7}And he nourished Hadassah, that is Ester, his vncles daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the mayde was fayre, and beautifull to looke on: and after the death of her father, and her mother, Mordecai tooke her for his own daughter 
\verseNumber{8}And when the Kings commandement, and his decree was published, and many maydes were brought together to the palace of Shushan, vnder the hand of Hege, Ester was brought also vnto the Kings house vnder the hande of Hege the keeper of the women. 
\verseNumber{9}And the mayde pleased him, and she founde fauour in his sight: therefore he caused her things for purification to be giuen her speedily, and her state, and seuen comely maides to be giuer her out of the Kings house, and he gaue change to her and to her maydes of the best in the house of the women. 
\verseNumber{10}But Ester shewed not her people and her kinred: for Mordecai had charged her, that shee should not tell it. 
\verseNumber{11}Aud Mordecai walked euery day before the court of the womens house, to knowe if Ester did well, and what should be done with her. 
\verseNumber{12}And when the course of euery mayd came, to go in to King Ahashuerosh, after that she had bene twelue moneths according to the maner of the women (for so were the dayes of their purifications accomplished, sixe moneths with oyle of myrrhe, and sixe moneths with sweete odours and in the purifying of the women: 
\verseNumber{13}And thus went the maides vnto the King) whatsoeuer she required, was giuen her, to go with her out of the womens house vnto ye kings house. 
\verseNumber{14}In the euening she went, and on the morow she returned into the second house of the women vnder the hand of Shaashgaz the Kings eunuche, which kept the concubines: shee came in to the King no more, except shee pleased the King, and that she were called by name. 
\verseNumber{15}Now when the course of Ester the daughter of Abihail the vncle of Mordecai (which had taken her as his owne daughter) came, that shee should go in to the King, she desired nothing, but what Hege the Kings eunuche the keeper of the women sayde: and Ester founde fauour in the sight of all them that looked vpon her. 
\verseNumber{16}So Ester was taken vnto King Ahashuerosh into his house royall in the tenth moneth, which is the moneth Tebeth, in the seuenth yeere of his reigne. 
\verseNumber{17}And the King loued Ester aboue all the women, and shee founde grace and fauour in his sight more then all the virgins: so that he set the crowne of the kingdome vpon her head, and made her Queene instead of Vashti. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King made a great feast vnto all his princes, and his seruants, which was the feast of Ester, and gaue rest vnto the prouinces, and gaue gifts, according to the power of a King. 
\verseNumber{19}And whe the virgins were gathered ye second time, then Mordecai sate in the Kings gate. 
\verseNumber{20}Ester had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her: for Ester did after the worde of Mordecai, as when she was nourished with him. 
\verseNumber{21}In those dayes whe Mordecai sate in the Kings gate, two of the Kings eunuches, Bigthan and Teresh, which kept the doore, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the King Ahashuerosh. 
\verseNumber{22}And the thing was knowen to Mordecai, and he tolde it vnto Queene Ester, and Ester certified the King thereof in Mordecais name: and when inquisition was made, it was found so: therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the booke of the Chronicles before the King.

\chapterNumber{3}After these things did King Ahashuerosh promote Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite, and exalted him, and set his seate aboue all the princes that were with him. 
\verseNumber{2}And all the Kings seruants that were at the Kings gate, bowed their knees, and reuerenced Haman: for the King had so commanded concerning him: but Mordecai bowed not the knee, neither did reuerence. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the Kings seruants which were at the Kings gate, said vnto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the Kings commandement? 
\verseNumber{4}And albeit they spake dayly vnto him, yet he would not heare them: therefore they tolde Haman, that they might see how Mordecais matters would stande: for he had tolde them, that he was a Iewe. 
\verseNumber{5}And when Haman sawe that Mordecai bowed not the knee vnto him, nor did reuerence vnto him, then Haman was full of wrath. 
\verseNumber{6}Now he thought it too litle to lay hands onely on Mordecai: and because they had shewed him the people of Mordecai, Haman sought to destroy all the Iewes, that were throughout the whole kingdome of Ahashuerosh, euen the people of Mordecai. 
\verseNumber{7}In the first moneth (that is the moneth Nisan) in the twelft yere of King Ahashuerosh, they cast Pur (that is a lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from moneth to moneth, vnto the twelft moneth, that is the moneth Adar. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Haman said vnto King Ahashuerosh, There is a people scattered, and dispersed among the people in all the prouinces of thy kingdome, and their lawes are diuers from all people, and they doe not obserue the Kings lawes: therefore it is not the Kings profite to suffer them. 
\verseNumber{9}If it please the King, let it be written that they may he destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of siluer by the handes of them that haue the charge of this businesse to bring it into the Kings treasurie. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the King tooke his ring from his hand and gaue it vnto Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite the Iewes aduersarie. 
\verseNumber{11}And the King sayde vnto Haman, Let the siluer be thine, and the people to doe with them as it pleaseth thee. 
\verseNumber{12}Then were the Kings scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first moneth, and there was written (according to all that Haman commanded) vnto the Kings officers, and to the captaines that were ouer euery prouince, and to the rulers of euery people, and to euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people according to their language: in the name of King Ahashuerosh was it written, and sealed with the Kings ring. 
\verseNumber{13}And the letters were sent by postes into all the Kings prouinces, to roote out, to kill and to destroy all the Iewes, both yong and olde, children and women, in one day vpon the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, (which is the moneth Adar) and to spoyle them as a pray. 
\verseNumber{14}The contents of the writing was, that there shoulde be giuen a commandement in all prouinces, and published vnto all people, that they should be ready against the same day. 
\verseNumber{15}And the postes compelled by the Kings commandement went forth, and the commandement was giuen in the palace at Shushan: and the King and Haman sate drinking, but the citie of Shushan was in perplexitie. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter. 
\verseNumber{2}And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth. 
\verseNumber{3}And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not. 
\verseNumber{5}Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was. 
\verseNumber{6}So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate. 
\verseNumber{7}And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them. 
\verseNumber{8}Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people. 
\verseNumber{9}So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai, 
\verseNumber{11}All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes. 
\verseNumber{12}And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes. 
\verseNumber{13}And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{14}For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time? 
\verseNumber{15}Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai, 
\verseNumber{16}Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish. 
\verseNumber{17}So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}And on the third day Ester put on her royal apparel, and stood in the court of the Kings palace within, ouer against the Kings house: and the King sate vpon his royal throne in the Kings palace ouer against the gate of the house. 
\verseNumber{2}And when the King saw Ester the Queene standing in the court, shee founde fauour in his sight: and the King held out the golden scepter that was in his hand: so Ester drewe neere, and touched the toppe of the scepter. 
\verseNumber{3}Then saide the King vnto her, What wilt thou, Queene Ester? and what is thy request? it shall be euen giuen thee to the halfe of ye kingdome. 
\verseNumber{4}Then saide Ester, If it please the King, let the King and Haman come this day vnto the banket, that I haue prepared for him. 
\verseNumber{5}And the King sayd, Cause Haman to make haste that he may doe as Ester hath sayde. So the King and Haman came to the banket that Ester had prepared. 
\verseNumber{6}And the King sayd vnto Ester at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? and what is thy request? it shall euen be performed vnto the halfe of the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{7}Then answered Ester, and sayd, My petition and my request is, 
\verseNumber{8}If I haue found fauour in the sight of the King, and if it please the King to giue me my petition, and to perfourme my request, let the King and Haman come to the banket that I shall prepare for them, and I will doe to morowe according to the Kings saying. 
\verseNumber{9}Then went Haman forth the same day ioyfull and with a glad heart. But when Haman sawe Mordecai in the Kings gate, that he stoode not vp, nor moued for him, then was Haman full of indignation at Mordecai. 
\verseNumber{10}Neuerthelesse Haman refrayned himselfe: and when he came home, he sent, and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. 
\verseNumber{11}And Haman tolde them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the King had promoted him, and how that he had set him aboue the princes and seruants of the King. 
\verseNumber{12}Haman sayde moreouer, Yea, Ester the Queene did let no man come in with the King to the banket that she had prepared, saue me: and to morowe am I bidden vnto her also with the King. 
\verseNumber{13}But al this doth nothing auaile me, as long as I see Mordecai ye Iewe sitting at ye Kings gate. 
\verseNumber{14}Then sayde Zeresh his wife and all his friends vnto him, Let them make a tree of fiftie cubites hie, and to morowe speake thou vnto the King, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then shalt thou goe ioyfully with the King vnto the banket. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused to make the tree.

\chapterNumber{6}The same night the King slept not, and he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: and they were read before ye King. 
\verseNumber{2}Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the King sayde, What honour and dignitie hath bene giuen to Mordecai for this? And the Kings seruants that ministred vnto him, sayd, There is nothing done for him. 
\verseNumber{4}And the King sayde, Who is in the court? (Now Haman was come into the inner court of the Kings house, that he might speake vnto the King to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had prepared for him.) 
\verseNumber{5}And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the King sayd, Let him come in. 
\verseNumber{6}And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me? 
\verseNumber{7}And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour, 
\verseNumber{8}Let them bring for him royall apparell, which the King vseth to weare, and the horse that the King rideth vpon, and that the crowne royall may be set vpon his head. 
\verseNumber{9}And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, and let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken. 
\verseNumber{11}So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour. 
\verseNumber{12}And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered. 
\verseNumber{13}And Haman tolde Zeresh his wife, and all his friends all that had befallen him. Then sayd his wise men, and Zeresh his wife vnto him, If Mordecai be of the seede of the Iewes, before whom thou hast begunne to fall; thou shalt not preuaile against him, but shalt surely fall before him. 
\verseNumber{14}And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches and hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}So the King and Haman came to banket with the Queene Ester. 
\verseNumber{2}And the King said againe vnto Ester on the second day at the banket of wine, What is thy petition, Queene Ester, that it may be giue thee? and what is thy request? It shalbe euen perfourmed vnto the halfe of the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{3}And Ester the Queene answered, and said, If I haue found fauour in thy sight, O King, and if it please the King, let my life be giuen me at my petition, and my people at my request. 
\verseNumber{4}For we are solde, I, and my people, to be destroyed, to be slayne and to perish: but if we were solde for seruants, and for handmaides, I woulde haue helde my tongue: although the aduersarie could not recompense the Kings losse. 
\verseNumber{5}Then King Ahashuerosh answered, and said vnto the Queene Ester, Who is he? and where is he that presumeth to doe thus? 
\verseNumber{6}And Ester said, The aduersarie and enemie is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afrayde before the King and the Queene. 
\verseNumber{7}And the King arose from ye banket of wine in his wrath, and went into the palace garden: but Haman stood vp, to make request for his life to the Queene Ester: for he sawe that there was a mischiefe prepared for him of the King. 
\verseNumber{8}And when the King came againe out of the palace garden, into the house where they dranke wine, Haman was fallen vpon the bed whereon Ester sate! therefore the King sayd, Will he force the Queene also before me in the house? As the worde went out of the Kings mouth, they couered Hamans face. 
\verseNumber{9}And Harbonah one of the eunuches, sayde in the presence of the King, Beholde, there standeth yet the tree in Hamans house fiftie cubites hie, which Haman had prepared for Mordecai, that spake good for the King. Then the King sayd, Hang him thereon.

\chapterNumber{8}The same day did King Ahashuerosh giue the house of Haman the aduersarie of the Iewes vnto the Queene Ester. and Mordecai came before the King: for Ester tolde what hee was vnto her. 
\verseNumber{2}And the King tooke off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gaue it vnto Mordecai: and Ester set Mordecai ouer the house of Haman. 
\verseNumber{3}And Ester spake yet more before the King, and fell downe at his feete weeping, and besought him that he would put away the wickednes of Haman the Agagite, and his deuice that he had imagined against the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{4}And the King held out the golden scepter toward Ester. Then arose Ester, and stood before the King, 
\verseNumber{5}And sayd, If it please the King, and if I haue found fauour in his sight, and the thing be acceptable before the King, and I please him, let it be written, that the letters of the deuice of Haman the sonne of Ammedatha the Agagite may be called againe, which he wrote to destroy the Iewes, that are in all the Kings prouinces. 
\verseNumber{6}For how can I suffer and see the euil, that shall come vnto my people? Or howe can I suffer and see the destruction of my kinred? 
\verseNumber{7}And the King Ahashuerosh sayde vnto the Queene Ester, and to Mordecai the Iewe, Behold, I haue giuen Ester the house of Haman, whome they haue hanged vpon the tree, because he layd hand vpon the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{8}Write yee also for the Iewes, as it liketh you in the Kinges name, and seale it with the Kings ring (for the writings written in the Kings name, and sealed with the Kings ring, may no man reuoke) 
\verseNumber{9}Then were the Kings Scribes called at the same time, euen in the thirde moneth, that is the moneth Siuan, on the three and twentieth day thereof: and it was written, according to all as Mordecai commanded, vnto the Iewes and to the princes, and captaines, and rulers of the prouinces, which were from India euen vnto Ethiopia, an hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces, vnto euery prouince, according to the writing thereof, and to euery people after their speache, and to the Iewes, according to their writing, and according to their language. 
\verseNumber{10}And hee wrote in the King Ahashuerosh name, and sealed it with the Kings ring: and he sent letters by postes on horsebacke and that rode on beastes of price, as dromedaries and coltes of mares. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherein the King graunted the Iewes (in what cities so euer they were) to gather theselues together, and to stand for their life, and to roote out, to slay and to destroy al the power of the people and of the prouince that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoyle their goods: 
\verseNumber{12}Vpon one day in all the prouinces of King Ahashuerosh, euen in the thirteenth day of the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar. 
\verseNumber{13}The copie of the writing was, howe there should be a commandement giuen in all and euery prouince, published among all the people, and that the Iewes should be ready against that day to auenge themselues on their enemies. 
\verseNumber{14}So the postes rode vpon beasts of price, and dromedaries, and went forth with speede, to execute the Kings commandement, and the decree was giuen at Shushan the palace. 
\verseNumber{15}And Mordecai went out from the King in royall apparell of blewe, and white, and with a great crowne of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple, and the citie of Shushan reioyced and was glad. 
\verseNumber{16}And vnto the Iewes was come light and ioy and gladnes, and honour. 
\verseNumber{17}Also in all and euery prouince, and in al and euery citie and place, where the Kings commandement and his decree came, there was ioy and gladnes to the Iewes, a feast and good day, and many of the people of the land became Iewes: for the feare of the Iewes fell vpon them. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{9}So in the twelft moneth, which is the moneth Adar, vpon the thirteenth daye of the same, when the Kings commandement and his decree drew neere to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Iewes hoped to haue power ouer them (but it turned contrary: for the Iewes had rule ouer them that hated them) 
\verseNumber{2}The Iewes gathered themselues together into their cities throughout all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, to lay hande on such as sought their hurt, and no man coulde withstande them: for the feare of them fel vpon al people. 
\verseNumber{3}And all the rulers of the prouinces, and the princes and the captaines, and the officers of the King exalted the Iewes: for the feare of Mordecai fell vpon them. 
\verseNumber{4}For Mordecai was great in the kings house, and the report of him went through all the prouinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. 
\verseNumber{5}Thus the Iewes smote all their enemies with strokes of the sworde and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they woulde vnto those that hated them. 
\verseNumber{6}And at Shushan the palace slewe the Iewes and destroyed fiue hundreth men, 
\verseNumber{7}And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 
\verseNumber{8}And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 
\verseNumber{9}And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaiezatha, 
\verseNumber{10}The ten sonnes of Haman, ye sonne of Ammedatha, the aduersarie of the Iewes slewe they: but they layd not their hands on the spoyle. 
\verseNumber{11}On the same day came ye nomber of those that were slayne, vnto the palace of Shushan before the King. 
\verseNumber{12}And the King sayd vnto the Queene Ester, The Iewes haue slayne in Shushan the palace and destroyed fiue hundreth men, and the ten sonnes of Haman: what haue they done in the rest of the Kings prouinces? and what is thy petition, that it may be giuen thee? or what is thy request moreouer, that it may be performed? 
\verseNumber{13}Then sayd Ester, If it please the King, let it be granted also to morow to the Iewes that are in Shushan, to do according vnto this daies decree, that they may hang vpon ye tree Hamans ten sonnes. 
\verseNumber{14}And the King charged to doe so, and the decree was giuen at Shushan, and they hanged Hamans ten sonnes. 
\verseNumber{15}So the Iewes that were in Shushan, assembled themselues vpon the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and slew three hundreth men in Shushan, but on the spoyle they layd not their hand. 
\verseNumber{16}And the rest of the Iewes that were in the Kings prouinces assembled themselues, and stood for their liues, and had rest from their enemies, and slewe of them that hated them, seuentie and fiue thousand: but they layd not their hand on the spoyle. 
\verseNumber{17}This they did on the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, and rested the fourteenth day thereof, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy. 
\verseNumber{18}But the Iewes that were in Shushan assembled themselues on the thirteenth day, and on the fourteenth therof, and they rested on the fifteenth of the same, and kept it a day of feasting and ioy. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore the Iewes of the villages that dwelt in the vnwalled townes, kept the foureteenth day of the moneth Adar with ioy and feasting, euen a ioyfull day, and euery one sent presents vnto his neighbour. 
\verseNumber{20}And Mordecai wrote these words, and sent letters vnto all the Iewes that were through all the prouinces of the King Ahashuerosh, both neere and farre, 
\verseNumber{21}Inioyning them that they shoulde keepe the fourteenth day of the moneth Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, euery yeere. 
\verseNumber{22}According to the dayes wherein the Iewes rested from their enemies, and the moneth which was turned vnto them from sorowe to ioy, and from mourning into a ioyfull day, to keepe them the dayes of feasting, and ioy, and to sende presents euery man to his neyghbour, and giftes to the poore. 
\verseNumber{23}And the Iewes promised to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written vnto them, 
\verseNumber{24}Because Haman the sonne of Hammedatha the Agagite al the Iewes aduersarie, had imagined against the Iewes, to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is a lot) to consume and destroy them. 
\verseNumber{25}And when she came before the King, he commanded by letters, Let this wicked deuise (which he imagined against the Iewes) turne vpon his owne head, and let them hang him and his sonnes on the tree. 
\verseNumber{26}Therfore they called these dayes Purim, by the name of Pur, and because of all the wordes of this letter, and of that which they had seene besides this, and of that which had come vnto them. 
\verseNumber{27}The Iewes also ordeined, and promised for them and for their seede, and for all that ioyned vnto them, that they would not faile to obserue those two dayes euery yeere, according to their writing, and according to their season, 
\verseNumber{28}And that these dayes shoulde be remembred, and kept throughout euery generation and euery familie, and euery prouince, and euery citie: euen these daies of Purim should not faile among the Iewes, and the memoriall of them should not perish from their seede. 
\verseNumber{29}And the Queene Ester ye daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Iew wrote with al authoritie (to cofirme this letter of Purim ye second time) 
\verseNumber{30}And he sent letters vnto al the Iewes to the hundreth and seuen and twentie prouinces of the kingdome of Ahashuerosh, with words of peace and trueth, 
\verseNumber{31}To confirme these dayes of Purim, according to their seasons, as Mordecai the Iewe and Ester the Queene had appointed them, and as they had promised for them selues and for their seede with fasting and prayer. 
\verseNumber{32}And the decree of Ester confirmed these words of Purim, and was written in the booke.

\chapterNumber{10}And the King Ahashuerosh layd a tribute vpon the land, and vpon the yles of the sea.

\verseNumber{3}For Mordecai the Iewe was the second vnto King Ahashuerosh, and great among the Iewes, and accepted among the multitude of his brethren, who procured the wealth of his people, and spake peaceably to all his seede.

\chapterNumber{1}There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill. 
\verseNumber{2}And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters. 
\verseNumber{3}His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East. 
\verseNumber{4}And his sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke with them. 
\verseNumber{5}And when the dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? 
\verseNumber{9}Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought? 
\verseNumber{10}Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 
\verseNumber{11}But stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, 
\verseNumber{14}There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places, 
\verseNumber{15}And the Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee. 
\verseNumber{16}And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee. 
\verseNumber{17}And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee. 
\verseNumber{18}And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house, 
\verseNumber{19}And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.

\verseNumber{4}And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life. 
\verseNumber{5}But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.

\verseNumber{4}Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon it,

\verseNumber{7}To such as were wearie, thou hast not giuen water to drinke, and hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie. 
\verseNumber{8}But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in autoritie, dwelt in it. 
\verseNumber{9}Thou hast cast out widowes emptie, and the armes of the fatherles were broken. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore snares are round about thee, and feare shall suddenly trouble thee: 
\verseNumber{11}Or darkenes that thou shouldest not see, and abundance of waters shall couer thee. 
\verseNumber{12}Is not God on hie in the heauen? and behold the height of the starres how hie they are. 
\verseNumber{13}But thou sayest, How should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude? 
\verseNumber{14}The cloudes hide him that he can not see, and he walketh in the circle of heauen. 
\verseNumber{15}Hast thou marked the way of the worlde, wherein wicked men haue walked? 
\verseNumber{16}Which were cut downe before the time, whose foundation was as a riuer that ouerflowed: 
\verseNumber{17}Which sayd vnto God, Depart from vs, and asked what the Almightie could do for them. 
\verseNumber{18}Yet hee filled their houses with good things: but let the counsell of the wicked be farre from me. 
\verseNumber{19}The righteous shall see them, and shall reioyce, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorne. 
\verseNumber{20}Surely our substance is hid: but the fire hath deuoured the remnant of them. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore acquaint thy selfe, I pray thee, with him, and make peace: thereby thou shalt haue prosperitie. 
\verseNumber{22}Receiue, I pray thee, the law of his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart. 
\verseNumber{23}If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be buylt vp, and thou shalt put iniquitie farre from thy tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{24}Thou shalt lay vp golde for dust, and the gold of Ophir, as the flintes of the riuers. 
\verseNumber{25}Yea, the Almightie shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer. 
\verseNumber{26}And thou shalt then delite in the Almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God. 
\verseNumber{27}Thou shalt make thy praier vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt render thy vowes. 
\verseNumber{28}Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establish it vnto thee, and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes. 
\verseNumber{29}When others are cast downe, then shalt thou say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.

\verseNumber{6}Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.

\verseNumber{14}For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him.

\verseNumber{3}Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels, 
\verseNumber{4}My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite. 
\verseNumber{5}God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe. 
\verseNumber{6}I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes. 
\verseNumber{7}Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous. 
\verseNumber{8}For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule? 
\verseNumber{9}Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him? 
\verseNumber{10}Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times? 
\verseNumber{11}I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.

\verseNumber{19}When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.

\verseNumber{3}When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse, 
\verseNumber{4}As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle: 
\verseNumber{5}When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me. 
\verseNumber{6}When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle: 
\verseNumber{7}When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete. 
\verseNumber{8}The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp. 
\verseNumber{9}The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth. 
\verseNumber{10}The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth. 
\verseNumber{11}And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me. 
\verseNumber{12}For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him. 
\verseNumber{13}The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce. 
\verseNumber{14}I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne. 
\verseNumber{15}I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame. 
\verseNumber{16}I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently. 
\verseNumber{17}I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth. 
\verseNumber{18}Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand. 
\verseNumber{19}For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche. 
\verseNumber{20}My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand. 
\verseNumber{21}Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell. 
\verseNumber{22}After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them. 
\verseNumber{23}And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne. 
\verseNumber{24}If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.

\verseNumber{13}They haue destroyed my paths: they tooke pleasure at my calamitie, they had none helpe. 
\verseNumber{14}They came as a great breach of waters, and vnder this calamitie they come on heapes. 
\verseNumber{15}Feare is turned vpon mee: and they pursue my soule as the winde, and mine health passeth away as a cloude.

\verseNumber{17}It pearceth my bones in the night, and my sinewes take no rest. 
\verseNumber{18}For the great vehemencie is my garment changed, which compasseth me about as the colar of my coate. 
\verseNumber{19}He hath cast me into the myre, and I am become like ashes and dust. 
\verseNumber{20}Whe I cry vnto thee, thou doest not heare me, neither regardest me, when I stand vp.

\verseNumber{17}Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion. 
\verseNumber{18}For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me. 
\verseNumber{19}Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere. 
\verseNumber{21}I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.

\chapterNumber{33}Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes. 
\verseNumber{2}Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth. 
\verseNumber{3}My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge. 
\verseNumber{4}The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life. 
\verseNumber{5}If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me. 
\verseNumber{6}Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay. 
\verseNumber{7}Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee. 
\verseNumber{8}Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes. 
\verseNumber{9}I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me. 
\verseNumber{10}Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie. 
\verseNumber{11}He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths. 
\verseNumber{12}Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man. 
\verseNumber{13}Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters. 
\verseNumber{14}For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not. 
\verseNumber{15}In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds, 
\verseNumber{16}Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed, 
\verseNumber{17}That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man, 
\verseNumber{18}And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword. 
\verseNumber{19}He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore, 
\verseNumber{20}So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate. 
\verseNumber{21}His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter. 
\verseNumber{22}So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers. 
\verseNumber{23}If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse, 
\verseNumber{24}Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation. 
\verseNumber{25}Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth. 
\verseNumber{26}He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes. 
\verseNumber{27}He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me, 
\verseNumber{28}He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 
\verseNumber{29}Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man, 
\verseNumber{30}That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing. 
\verseNumber{31}Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake. 
\verseNumber{32}If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee. 
\verseNumber{33}If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.

\chapterNumber{34}Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide, 
\verseNumber{2}Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge. 
\verseNumber{3}For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate. 
\verseNumber{4}Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good. 
\verseNumber{5}For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement. 
\verseNumber{6}Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne. 
\verseNumber{7}What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water? 
\verseNumber{8}Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men? 
\verseNumber{9}For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie. 
\verseNumber{11}For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way. 
\verseNumber{12}And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement. 
\verseNumber{13}Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde? 
\verseNumber{14}If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath, 
\verseNumber{15}All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust. 
\verseNumber{16}And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes. 
\verseNumber{17}Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust? 
\verseNumber{18}Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly? 
\verseNumber{19}How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes. 
\verseNumber{20}They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand. 
\verseNumber{21}For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings. 
\verseNumber{22}There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein. 
\verseNumber{23}For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God. 
\verseNumber{24}He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed. 
\verseNumber{26}He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers, 
\verseNumber{27}Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes: 
\verseNumber{28}So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted. 
\verseNumber{29}And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely? 
\verseNumber{30}Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared. 
\verseNumber{31}Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy. 
\verseNumber{32}But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more. 
\verseNumber{33}Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest. 
\verseNumber{34}Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me. 
\verseNumber{35}Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome. 
\verseNumber{36}I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.

\chapterNumber{35}Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

\verseNumber{4}Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee. 
\verseNumber{5}Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou. 
\verseNumber{6}If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him? 
\verseNumber{7}If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand? 
\verseNumber{8}Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man. 
\verseNumber{9}They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie. 
\verseNumber{10}But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght? 
\verseNumber{11}Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen. 
\verseNumber{12}Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not. 
\verseNumber{13}Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it. 
\verseNumber{14}Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him. 
\verseNumber{15}But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

\verseNumber{4}For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee. 
\verseNumber{5}Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage. 
\verseNumber{6}He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted. 
\verseNumber{7}He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted. 
\verseNumber{8}And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction, 
\verseNumber{9}Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude. 
\verseNumber{10}He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity. 
\verseNumber{11}If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures. 
\verseNumber{12}But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge. 
\verseNumber{13}But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them. 
\verseNumber{14}Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers. 
\verseNumber{15}He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble. 
\verseNumber{16}Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat. 
\verseNumber{17}But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things. 
\verseNumber{18}For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee. 
\verseNumber{19}Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength. 
\verseNumber{20}Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place. 
\verseNumber{21}Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction. 
\verseNumber{22}Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?

\verseNumber{2}The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge. 
\verseNumber{3}I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies. 
\verseNumber{4}The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide. 
\verseNumber{5}The sorowes of the graue haue compassed me about: the snares of death ouertooke me. 
\verseNumber{6}But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie. 
\verseNumber{8}Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat. 
\verseNumber{9}He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete. 
\verseNumber{10}And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde. 
\verseNumber{11}He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.

\verseNumber{16}He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters. 
\verseNumber{17}He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me. 
\verseNumber{18}They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay. 
\verseNumber{19}Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me. 
\verseNumber{20}The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me: 
\verseNumber{21}Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.

\verseNumber{35}Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase. 
\verseNumber{36}Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid. 
\verseNumber{37}I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them. 
\verseNumber{38}I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete. 
\verseNumber{39}For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me. 
\verseNumber{40}And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. 
\verseNumber{41}They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not. 
\verseNumber{42}Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes. 
\verseNumber{43}Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me. 
\verseNumber{44}As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me. 
\verseNumber{45}Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.

\verseNumber{2}As for me, my feete were almost gone: my steps had well neere slipt.

\verseNumber{24}Thou wilt guide me by thy counsell, and afterward receiue me to glory.

\verseNumber{4}Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done: 
\verseNumber{5}How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children: 
\verseNumber{6}That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children: 
\verseNumber{7}That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements: 
\verseNumber{8}And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God. 
\verseNumber{9}The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell. 
\verseNumber{10}They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,

\verseNumber{12}Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan. 
\verseNumber{13}He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.

\verseNumber{19}They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse? 
\verseNumber{20}Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people? 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel, 
\verseNumber{22}Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe. 
\verseNumber{23}Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen, 
\verseNumber{24}And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen. 
\verseNumber{25}Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough. 
\verseNumber{26}He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde. 
\verseNumber{27}Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.

\verseNumber{35}And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer. 
\verseNumber{36}But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.

\verseNumber{43}Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan, 
\verseNumber{44}And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke. 
\verseNumber{45}Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.

\verseNumber{48}He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes. 
\verseNumber{49}Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels. 
\verseNumber{50}He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence, 
\verseNumber{51}And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham. 
\verseNumber{52}But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke. 
\verseNumber{53}Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies. 
\verseNumber{54}And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.

\verseNumber{57}But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe. 
\verseNumber{58}And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images. 
\verseNumber{59}God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,

\chapterNumber{1}The Parables of Salomon the sonne of Dauid King of Israel, 
\verseNumber{2}To knowe wisdome, and instruction, to vnderstand ye wordes of knowledge, 
\verseNumber{3}To receiue instruction to do wisely, by iustice and iudgement and equitie, 
\verseNumber{4}To giue vnto the simple, sharpenesse of wit, and to the childe knowledge and discretion. 
\verseNumber{5}A wise man shall heare and increase in learning, and a man of vnderstanding shall attayne vnto wise counsels, 
\verseNumber{6}To vnderstand a parable, and the interpretation, the wordes of ye wise, and their darke sayings. 
\verseNumber{7}The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction. 
\verseNumber{8}My sonne, heare thy fathers instruction, and forsake not thy mothers teaching. 
\verseNumber{9}For they shalbe a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke. 
\verseNumber{10}My sonne, if sinners doe intise thee, consent thou not. 
\verseNumber{11}If they say, Come with vs, we will lay waite for blood, and lie priuilie for the innocent without a cause: 
\verseNumber{12}We wil swallow them vp aliue like a graue euen whole, as those that goe downe into the pit: 
\verseNumber{13}We shall finde all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoyle: 
\verseNumber{14}Cast in thy lot among vs: we will all haue one purse:

\verseNumber{17}Certainely as without cause the net is spred before the eyes of all that hath wing: 
\verseNumber{18}So they lay waite for blood and lie priuily for their liues. 
\verseNumber{19}Such are the wayes of euery one that is greedy of gaine: he would take away the life of the owners thereof.

\verseNumber{23}(Turne you at my correction: loe, I will powre out my mind vnto you, and make you vnderstand my wordes)

\verseNumber{23}The pride of a man shall bring him lowe: but the humble in spirit shall enioy glory. 
\verseNumber{24}He that is partner with a thiefe, hateth his owne soule: he heareth cursing, and declareth it not. 
\verseNumber{25}The feare of man bringeth a snare: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shalbe exalted. 
\verseNumber{26}Many doe seeke the face of the ruler: but euery mans iudgement commeth from the Lord.

\chapterNumber{30}THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal. 
\verseNumber{2}Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me. 
\verseNumber{3}For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things. 
\verseNumber{4}Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell? 
\verseNumber{5}Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him. 
\verseNumber{6}Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar. 
\verseNumber{7}Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die. 
\verseNumber{8}Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me, 
\verseNumber{9}Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine. 
\verseNumber{10}Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended. 
\verseNumber{11}There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother. 
\verseNumber{12}There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse. 
\verseNumber{13}There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp. 
\verseNumber{14}There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men. 
\verseNumber{15}The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough. 
\verseNumber{16}The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. 
\verseNumber{17}The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it. 
\verseNumber{18}There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not, 
\verseNumber{19}The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide. 
\verseNumber{20}Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{21}For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe: 
\verseNumber{22}For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate, 
\verseNumber{23}For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres. 
\verseNumber{24}These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome: 
\verseNumber{25}The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer: 
\verseNumber{26}The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke: 
\verseNumber{27}The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes: 
\verseNumber{28}The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces. 
\verseNumber{29}There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going, 
\verseNumber{30}A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any: 
\verseNumber{31}A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp. 
\verseNumber{32}If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth. 
\verseNumber{33}When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.

\chapterNumber{31}THE WORDS OF KING LEMUEL: The prophecie which his mother taught him. 
\verseNumber{2}What my sonne! and what ye sonne of my wombe! and what, O sonne of my desires! 
\verseNumber{3}Giue not thy strength vnto women, nor thy wayes, which is to destroy Kings. 
\verseNumber{4}It is not for Kings, O Lemuel, it is not for Kings to drink wine nor for princes strog drinke, 
\verseNumber{5}Lest he drinke and forget the decree, and change the iudgement of all the children of affliction. 
\verseNumber{6}Giue ye strong drinke vnto him that is readie to perish, and wine vnto them that haue griefe of heart. 
\verseNumber{7}Let him drinke, that he may forget his pouertie, and remember his miserie no more. 
\verseNumber{8}Open thy mouth for the domme in the cause of all the children of destruction. 
\verseNumber{9}Open thy mouth: iudge righteously, and iudge the afflicted, and the poore. 
\verseNumber{10}Who shall finde a vertuous woman? for her price is farre aboue the pearles. 
\verseNumber{11}The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall haue no neede of spoyle. 
\verseNumber{12}She will doe him good, and not euill all the dayes of her life. 
\verseNumber{13}She seeketh wooll and flaxe, and laboureth cheerefully with her handes. 
\verseNumber{14}She is like the shippes of marchants: shee bringeth her foode from afarre. 
\verseNumber{15}And she riseth, whiles it is yet night: and giueth the portion to her houshold, and the ordinarie to her maides. 
\verseNumber{16}She considereth a field, and getteth it: and with the fruite of her handes she planteth a vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{17}She girdeth her loynes with strength, and strengtheneth her armes. 
\verseNumber{18}She feeleth that her marchandise is good: her candle is not put out by night. 
\verseNumber{19}She putteth her handes to the wherue, and her handes handle the spindle. 
\verseNumber{20}She stretcheth out her hand to the poore, and putteth foorth her hands to the needie. 
\verseNumber{21}She feareth not the snowe for her familie: for all her familie is clothed with skarlet. 
\verseNumber{22}She maketh her selfe carpets: fine linen and purple is her garment. 
\verseNumber{23}Her husband is knowen in the gates, when he sitteth with the Elders of the land. 
\verseNumber{24}She maketh sheetes, and selleth them, and giueth girdels vnto the marchant. 
\verseNumber{25}Strength and honour is her clothing, and in the latter day she shall reioyce. 
\verseNumber{26}She openeth her mouth with wisdome, and the lawe of grace is in her tongue. 
\verseNumber{27}She ouerseeth the wayes of her housholde, and eateth not the bread of ydlenes. 
\verseNumber{28}Her children rise vp, and call her blessed: her husband also shall prayse her, saying, 
\verseNumber{29}Many daughters haue done vertuously: but thou surmountest them all. 
\verseNumber{30}Fauour is deceitfull, and beautie is vanitie: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praysed. 
\verseNumber{31}Giue her of the fruite of her hands, and let her owne workes prayse her in the gates.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}The wordes of the Preacher, the sonne of Dauid King in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{2}Vanitie of vanities, sayth the Preacher: vanitie of vanities, all is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{3}What remaineth vnto man in all his trauaile, which he suffereth vnder ye sunne? 
\verseNumber{4}One generation passeth, and another generation succeedeth: but the earth remaineth for euer. 
\verseNumber{5}The sunne riseth, and ye sunne goeth downe, and draweth to his place, where he riseth. 
\verseNumber{6}The winde goeth toward the South, and compasseth towarde the North: the winde goeth rounde about, and returneth by his circuites. 
\verseNumber{7}All the riuers goe into the sea, yet the sea is not full: for the riuers goe vnto ye place, whence they returne, and goe. 
\verseNumber{8}All things are full of labour: man cannot vtter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the eare filled with hearing. 
\verseNumber{9}What is it that hath bene? that that shalbe: and what is it that hath bene done? that which shalbe done: and there is no newe thing vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{10}Is there any thing, whereof one may say, Beholde this, it is newe? it hath bene already in the olde time that was before vs. 
\verseNumber{11}There is no memorie of the former, neither shall there be a remembrance of the latter that shalbe, with them that shall come after. 
\verseNumber{12}I the Preacher haue bene King ouer Israel in Ierusalem: 
\verseNumber{13}And I haue giuen mine heart to search and finde out wisdome by all things that are done vnder the heauen: (this sore trauaile hath GOD giuen to the sonnes of men, to humble them thereby) 
\verseNumber{14}I haue considered all the workes that are done vnder the sunne, and beholde, all is vanitie, and vexation of the spirit. 
\verseNumber{15}That which is crooked, can none make straight: and that which faileth, cannot be nombred. 
\verseNumber{16}I thought in mine heart, and said, Behold, I am become great, and excell in wisdome all them that haue bene before me in Ierusalem: and mine heart hath seene much wisedome and knowledge. 
\verseNumber{17}And I gaue mine heart to knowe wisdome and knowledge, madnes and foolishnes: I knew also that this is a vexation of the spirit. 
\verseNumber{18}For in the multitude of wisedome is much griefe: and he that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorowe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}I said in mine heart, Goe to nowe, I will proue thee with ioy: therefore take thou pleasure in pleasant things: and beholde, this also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{2}I saide of laughter, Thou art mad: and of ioy, What is this that thou doest? 
\verseNumber{3}I sought in mine heart to giue my selfe to wine, and to leade mine heart in wisdome, and to take holde of follie, till I might see where is that goodnesse of the children of men, which they enioy vnder the sunne: the whole nomber of the dayes of their life. 
\verseNumber{4}I haue made my great workes: I haue built me houses: I haue planted me vineyards. 
\verseNumber{5}I haue made me gardens and orchards, and planted in them trees of all fruite. 
\verseNumber{6}I haue made me cisternes of water, to water therewith the woods that growe with trees. 
\verseNumber{7}I haue gotten seruants and maides, and had children borne in the house: also I had great possession of beeues and sheepe aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{8}I haue gathered vnto me also siluer and gold, and the chiefe treasures of Kings and prouinces: I haue prouided me men singers and women singers, and the delites of the sonnes of men, as a woman taken captiue, and women taken captiues. 
\verseNumber{9}And I was great, and increased aboue all that were before me in Ierusalem: also my wisedome remained with me. 
\verseNumber{10}And whatsoeuer mine eyes desired, I withheld it not from them: I withdrew not mine heart from any ioy: for mine heart reioyced in al my labour: and this was my portion of all my trauaile. 
\verseNumber{11}Then I looked on all my workes that mine hands had wrought, and on the trauaile that I had laboured to doe: and beholde, all is vanitie and vexation of the spirit: and there is no profite vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{12}And I turned to beholde wisedome, and madnes and follie: (for who is the man that will come after the King in things, which men nowe haue done?) 
\verseNumber{13}Then I saw that there is profite in wisdome, more then in follie: as the light is more excellent then darkenes. 
\verseNumber{14}For the wise mans eyes are in his head, but the foole walketh in darknes: yet I know also that the same condition falleth to them all. 
\verseNumber{15}Then I thought in mine heart, It befalleth vnto me, as it befalleth to ye foole. Why therefore doe I then labour to be more wise? And I sayd in mine heart, that this also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{16}For there shalbe no remembrance of the wise, nor of the foole for euer: for that that now is, in the dayes to come shall all be forgotten. And howe dyeth the wise man, as doeth the foole? 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore I hated life: for the worke that is wrought vnder the sunne is grieuous vnto me: for all is vanitie, and vexation of the spirit. 
\verseNumber{18}I hated also all my labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne, which I shall leaue to the man that shalbe after me. 
\verseNumber{19}And who knoweth whether he shalbe wise or foolish? yet shall hee haue rule ouer all my labour, wherein I haue trauailed, and wherein I haue shewed my selfe wise vnder the sunne. This is also vanitie. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore I went about to make mine heart abhorre all the labour, wherein I had trauailed vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{21}For there is a man whose trauaile is in wisdome, and in knowledge and in equitie: yet to a man that hath not trauailed herein, shall he giue his portion: this also is vanitie and a great griefe. 
\verseNumber{22}For what hath man of all his trauaile and griefe of his heart, wherein he hath trauailed vnder the sunne? 
\verseNumber{23}For all his dayes are sorowes, and his trauaile griefe: his heart also taketh not rest in the night: which also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{24}There is no profit to man: but that he eate, and drinke, and delight his soule with the profit of his labour: I saw also this, that it was of the hand of God. 
\verseNumber{25}For who could eate, and who could haste to outward things more then I? 
\verseNumber{26}Surely to a man that is good in his sight, God giueth wisdome, and knowledge, and ioy: but to the sinner he giueth paine, to gather, and to heape to giue to him that is good before God: this is also vanitie, and vexation of the spirit. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}To all things there is an appointed time, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen. 
\verseNumber{2}A time to bee borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to plucke vp that which is planted. 
\verseNumber{3}A time to slay, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to builde. 
\verseNumber{4}A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance. 
\verseNumber{5}A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones: a time to embrace, and a time to be farre from embracing. 
\verseNumber{6}A time to seeke, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away. 
\verseNumber{7}A time to rent, and a time to sowe: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake. 
\verseNumber{8}A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace. 
\verseNumber{9}What profite hath hee that worketh of the thing wherein he trauaileth? 
\verseNumber{10}I haue seene the trauaile that God hath giuen to ye sonnes of men to humble them thereby. 
\verseNumber{11}He hath made euery thing beautifull in his time: also he hath set the worlde in their heart, yet can not man finde out the worke that God hath wrought from the beginning euen to the end. 
\verseNumber{12}I know that there is nothing good in them, but to reioyce, and to doe good in his life. 
\verseNumber{13}And also that euery man eateth and drinketh, and seeth the commoditie of all his labour. this is the gift of God. 
\verseNumber{14}I knowe that whatsoeuer God shall doe, it shalbe for euer: to it can no man adde, and from it can none diminish: for God hath done it, that they should feare before him. 
\verseNumber{15}What is that that hath bene? that is nowe: and that that shalbe, hath now bene: for God requireth that which is past. 
\verseNumber{16}And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{17}I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke. 
\verseNumber{18}I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes. 
\verseNumber{19}For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{20}All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust. 
\verseNumber{21}Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth? 
\verseNumber{22}Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}So I turned and considered all the oppressions that are wrought vnder the sunne, and beholde the teares of the oppressed, and none comforteth them: and lo, the strength is of the hand of them that oppresse them, and none comforteth them. 
\verseNumber{2}Wherefore I praysed the dead which now are dead, aboue the liuing, which are yet aliue. 
\verseNumber{3}And I count him better then them both, which hath not yet bin: for he hath not seene the euill workes which are wrought vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{4}Also I beheld all trauaile, and all perfection of workes that this is ye enuie of a man against his neighbour: this also is vanitie and vexation of spirit. 
\verseNumber{5}The foole foldeth his hands, and eateth vp his owne flesh. 
\verseNumber{6}Better is an handfull with quietnesse, then two handfuls with labour and vexation of spirit. 
\verseNumber{7}Againe I returned, and sawe vanitie vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{8}There is one alone, and there is not a second, which hath neither sonne nor brother, yet is there none end of all his trauaile, neither can his eye be satisfied with riches: neither doeth he thinke, For whome doe I trauaile and defraude my soule of pleasure? this also is vanitie, and this is an euill trauaile. 
\verseNumber{9}Two are better then one: for they haue better wages for their labour. 
\verseNumber{10}For if they fal, the one wil lift vp his felow: but wo vnto him that is alone: for he falleth, and there is not a second to lift him vp. 
\verseNumber{11}Also if two sleepe together, then shall they haue heate: but to one how should there be heate? 
\verseNumber{12}And if one ouercome him, two shall stand against him: and a threefolde coard is not easily broken. 
\verseNumber{13}Better is a poore and wise childe, then an olde and foolish King, which will no more be admonished. 
\verseNumber{14}For out of the prison he commeth forth to reigne: when as he that is borne in his kingdome, is made poore. 
\verseNumber{15}I behelde all the liuing, which walke vnder the sunne, with the second childe, which shall stand vp in his place. 
\verseNumber{16}There is none ende of all the people, nor of all that were before them, and they that come after, shall not reioyce in him: surely this is also vanitie and vexation of spirit. 
\verseNumber{17}Take heede to thy foote when thou entrest into the House of God, and be more neere to heare then to giue the sacrifice of fooles: for they knowe not that they doe euil. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Be not rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hastie to vtter a thing before God: for God is in the heauens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy wordes be fewe. 
\verseNumber{2}For as a dreame commeth by the multitude of businesse: so the voyce of a foole is in the multitude of wordes. 
\verseNumber{3}When thou hast vowed a vowe to God, deferre not to pay it: for he deliteth not in fooles: pay therefore that thou hast vowed. 
\verseNumber{4}It is better that thou shouldest not vowe, then that thou shouldest vow and not pay it. 
\verseNumber{5}Suffer not thy mouth to make thy flesh to sinne: neither say before the Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God bee angry by thy voyce, and destroy the worke of thine hands? 
\verseNumber{6}For in the multitude of dreames, and vanities are also many wordes: but feare thou God. 
\verseNumber{7}If in a countrey thou seest the oppression of the poore, and the defrauding of iudgement and iustice, be not astonied at the matter: for hee that is higher then the highest, regardeth, and there be higher then they. 
\verseNumber{8}And the abundance of the earth is ouer all: the King also consisteth by the fielde that is tilled. 
\verseNumber{9}He that loueth siluer, shall not be satisfied with siluer, and he that loueth riches, shalbe without the fruite thereof: this also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{10}When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good commeth to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes? 
\verseNumber{11}The sleepe of him that traueileth, is sweete, whether he eate litle or much: but the sacietie of the riche will not suffer him to sleepe. 
\verseNumber{12}There is an euill sickenes that I haue seene vnder the sunne: to wit, riches reserued to the owners thereof for their euill. 
\verseNumber{13}And these riches perish by euill trauel, and he begetteth a sonne, and in his hand is nothing. 
\verseNumber{14}As hee came foorth of his mothers belly, he shall returne naked to goe as he came, and shall beare away nothing of his labour, which hee hath caused to passe by his hand. 
\verseNumber{15}And this also is an euill sickenes that in all pointes as he came, so shall he goe, and what profit hath he that he hath traueiled for the winde? 
\verseNumber{16}Also all his dayes hee eateth in darkenes with much griefe, and in his sorowe and anger. 
\verseNumber{17}Beholde then, what I haue seene good, that it is comely to eate, and to drinke, and to take pleasure in all his labour, wherein he traueileth vnder the sunne, the whole nomber of the dayes of his life, which God giueth him: for this is his portion. 
\verseNumber{18}Also to euery man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures, and giueth him power to eate thereof, and to take his part, and to enioy his labour: this is the gift of God. 
\verseNumber{19}Surely hee will not much remember the dayes of his life, because God answereth to the ioy of his heart. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}There is an euill, which I sawe vnder the sunne, and it is much among men: 
\verseNumber{2}A man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that it desireth: but God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a strange man shall eate it vp: this is vanitie, and this is an euill sicknesse. 
\verseNumber{3}If a man beget an hundreth children and liue many yeeres, and the dayes of his yeeres be multiplied, and his soule be not satisfied with good things, and he be not buried, I say that an vntimely fruite is better then he. 
\verseNumber{4}For he commeth into vanitie and goeth into darkenesse: and his name shall be couered with darkenesse. 
\verseNumber{5}Also he hath not seene ye sunne, nor knowen it: therefore this hath more rest then the other. 
\verseNumber{6}And if he had liued a thousand yeeres twise tolde, and had seene no good, shall not all goe to one place? 
\verseNumber{7}All the labour of man is for his mouth: yet the soule is not filled. 
\verseNumber{8}For what hath the wise man more then the foole? what hath the poore that knoweth how to walke before the liuing? 
\verseNumber{9}The sight of ye eye is better then to walke in ye lustes: this also is vanitie, and vexation of spirit. 
\verseNumber{10}What is that that hath bene? the name thereof is nowe named: and it is knowen that it is man: and he cannot striue with him that is stronger then he. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}Surely there be many things that increase vanitie: and what auaileth it man? 
\verseNumber{2}For who knoweth what is good for man in the life and in the nomber of the dayes of the life of his vanitie, seeing he maketh them as a shadowe? For who can shewe vnto man what shall be after him vnder the sunne? 
\verseNumber{3}A good name is better then a good oyntment, and the day of death, then the day that one is borne. 
\verseNumber{4}It is better to goe to the house of mourning, then to goe to the house of feasting, because this is the ende of all men: and the liuing shall lay it to his heart. 
\verseNumber{5}Anger is better then laughter: for by a sad looke the heart is made better. 
\verseNumber{6}The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth. 
\verseNumber{7}Better it is to heare ye rebuke of a wise man, then that a man should heare the song of fooles. 
\verseNumber{8}For like ye noyse of the thornes vnder the pot, so is the laughter of the foole: this also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{9}Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad: and the rewarde destroyeth the heart. 
\verseNumber{10}The ende of a thing is better then the beginning thereof, and the pacient in spirit is better then the proude in spirit. 
\verseNumber{11}Be not thou of an hastie spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles. 
\verseNumber{12}Say not thou, Why is it that the former dayes were better then these? for thou doest not enquire wisely of this thing. 
\verseNumber{13}Wisedome is good with an inheritance, and excellent to them that see the sunne. 
\verseNumber{14}For man shall rest in the shadowe of wisedome, and in the shadowe of siluer: but the excellencie of the knowledge of wisedome giueth life to the possessers thereof. 
\verseNumber{15}Beholde the worke of God: for who can make straight that which he hath made crooked? 
\verseNumber{16}In the day of wealth be of good comfort, and in the day of affliction consider: God also hath made this contrary to that, to the intent that man shoulde finde nothing after him. 
\verseNumber{17}I haue seene all things in the dayes of my vanitie: there is a iust man that perisheth in his iustice, and there is a wicked man that continueth long in his malice. 
\verseNumber{18}Be not thou iust ouermuch, neither make thy selfe ouerwise: wherefore shouldest thou be desolate? 
\verseNumber{19}Be not thou wicked ouermuch, neither be thou foolish: wherefore shouldest thou perish not in thy time? 
\verseNumber{20}It is good that thou lay hold on this: but yet withdrawe not thine hand from that: for he that feareth God, shall come forth of them all. 
\verseNumber{21}Wisedome shall strengthen the wise man more then ten mightie princes that are in ye citie. 
\verseNumber{22}Surely there is no man iust in the earth, that doeth good and sinneth not. 
\verseNumber{23}Giue not thine heart also to all ye wordes that men speake, lest thou doe heare thy seruant cursing thee.

\verseNumber{27}I haue compassed about, both I and mine heart to knowe and to enquire and to search wisedome, and reason, and to knowe the wickednesse of follie, and the foolishnesse of madnesse, 
\verseNumber{28}And I finde more bitter then death the woman whose heart is as nettes and snares, and her handes, as bands: he that is good before God, shalbe deliuered from her, but the sinner shall be taken by her.

\chapterNumber{8}Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? the wisedome of a man doth make his face to shine: and the strength of his face shalbe changed. 
\verseNumber{2}I aduertise thee to take heede to ye mouth of the King, and to the worde of the othe of God. 
\verseNumber{3}Haste not to goe forth of his sight: stand not in an euill thing: for he will doe whatsoeuer pleaseth him. 
\verseNumber{4}Where the word of ye King is, there is power, and who shall say vnto him, What doest thou? 
\verseNumber{5}He that keepeth the commandement, shall knowe none euill thing, and the heart of the wise shall knowe the time and iudgement. 
\verseNumber{6}For to euery purpose there is a time and iudgement, because the miserie of man is great vpon him. 
\verseNumber{7}For he knoweth not that which shalbe: for who can tell him when it shalbe? 
\verseNumber{8}Man is not lorde ouer the spirit to retaine the spirite: neither hath hee power in the day of death, nor deliuerance in the battell, neither shall wickednesse deliuer the possessers thereof. 
\verseNumber{9}All this haue I seene, and haue giuen mine heart to euery worke, which is wrought vnder the sunne, and I sawe a time that man ruleth ouer man to his owne hurt. 
\verseNumber{10}And likewise I sawe the wicked buried, and they returned, and they that came from the holy place, were yet forgotten in the citie where they had done right: this also is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{11}Because sentence against an euill worke is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to doe euill. 
\verseNumber{12}Though a sinner doe euill an hundreth times, and God prolongeth his dayes, yet I knowe that it shalbe well with them that feare the Lord, and doe reuerence before him. 
\verseNumber{13}But it shall not be well to the wicked, neither shall he prolong his dayes: he shall be like a shadowe, because he feareth not before God. 
\verseNumber{14}There is a vanitie, which is done vpon the earth, that there be righteous men to whom it commeth according to the worke of the wicked: and there be wicked men to whom it commeth according to the worke of the iust: I thought also that this is vanitie. 
\verseNumber{15}And I praysed ioy: for there is no goodnesse to man vnder the sunne, saue to eate and to drinke and to reioyce: for this is adioyned to his labour, the dayes of his life that God hath giuen him vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{16}When I applied mine heart to knowe wisedome, and to behold the busines that is done on earth, that neither day nor night the eyes of man take sleepe, 
\verseNumber{17}Then I behelde the whole worke of God, that man cannot finde out ye worke that is wrought vnder the sunne: for the which man laboureth to seeke it, and cannot finde it: yea, and though the wise man thinke to knowe it, he cannot finde it.

\chapterNumber{9}I have surely giuen mine heart to all this, and to declare all this, that the iust, and the wise, and their workes are in the hand of God: and no man knoweth eyther loue or hatred of all that is before them. 
\verseNumber{2}All things come alike to all: and the same condition is to the iust and to the wicked, to the good and to the pure, and to the polluted, and to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner, he that sweareth, as he that feareth an othe. 
\verseNumber{3}This is euill among all that is done vnder the sunne, that there is one condition to all, and also the heart of the sonnes of men is full of euill, and madnes is in their heartes whiles they liue, and after that, they goe to the dead. 
\verseNumber{4}Surely whosoeuer is ioyned to all ye liuing, there is hope: for it is better to a liuing dog, then to a dead lyon. 
\verseNumber{5}For the liuing knowe that they shall dye, but the dead knowe nothing at all: neither haue they any more a rewarde: for their remembrance is forgotten. 
\verseNumber{6}Also their loue, and their hatred, and their enuie is now perished, and they haue no more portion for euer, in all that is done vnder the sunne.

\verseNumber{9}Reioyce with the wife whom thou hast loued all the dayes of the life of thy vanitie, which God hath giuen thee vnder the sunne all the dayes of thy vanitie: for this is thy portion in the life, and in thy trauaile wherein thou labourest vnder the sunne. 
\verseNumber{10}All that thine hand shall finde to doe, doe it with all thy power: for there is neither worke nor inuention, nor knowledge, nor wisedome in the graue whither thou goest. 
\verseNumber{11}I returned, and I sawe vnder the sunne that the race is not to the swift, nor the battell to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor also riches to men of vnderstanding, neither yet fauour to men of knowledge: but time and chance commeth to them all. 
\verseNumber{12}For neither doth man knowe his time, but as the fishes which are taken in an euill net, and as the birdes that are caught in the snare: so are the children of men snared in the euill time when it falleth vpon them suddenly. 
\verseNumber{13}I haue also seene this wisedome vnder the sunne, and it is great vnto me. 
\verseNumber{14}A litle citie and fewe men in it, and a great King came against it, and compassed it about, and builded fortes against it. 
\verseNumber{15}And there was founde therein a poore and wise man, and he deliuered the citie by his wisedome: but none remembred this poore man. 
\verseNumber{16}Then said I, Better is wisdome then strength: yet the wisedome of the poore is despised, and his wordes are not heard. 
\verseNumber{17}The wordes of the wise are more heard in quietnes, then the crye of him that ruleth among fooles. 
\verseNumber{18}Better is wisedome then weapons of warre: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

\chapterNumber{10}Dead flies cause to stinke, and putrifie the ointment of the apoticarie: so doeth a litle follie him that is in estimation for wisedome, and for glorie. 
\verseNumber{2}The heart of a wise man is at his right hand: but the heart of a foole is at his left hand. 
\verseNumber{3}And also when the foole goeth by the way, his heart faileth, and he telleth vnto all that he is a foole. 
\verseNumber{4}If the spirite of him that ruleth, rise vp against thee, leaue not thy place: for gentlenes pacifieth great sinnes. 
\verseNumber{5}There is an euil that I haue seene vnder the sunne, as an errour that proceedeth from the face of him that ruleth. 
\verseNumber{6}Follie is set in great excellencie, and the riche set in the lowe place. 
\verseNumber{7}I haue seene seruants on horses, and princes walking as seruants on the ground. 
\verseNumber{8}He that diggeth a pit, shall fal into it, and he that breaketh the hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 
\verseNumber{9}He that remooueth stones, shall hurt himselfe thereby, and hee that cutteth wood, shall be in danger thereby. 
\verseNumber{10}If the yron be blunt, and one hath not whet the edge, he must then put to more strength: but the excellencie to direct a thing is wisedome. 
\verseNumber{11}If the serpent bite, when he is not charmed: no better is a babbler. 
\verseNumber{12}The words of ye mouth of a wise man haue grace: but the lippes of a foole deuoure himselfe. 
\verseNumber{13}The beginning of the wordes of his mouth is foolishnesse, and the latter ende of his mouth is wicked madnesse. 
\verseNumber{14}For the foole multiplieth woordes, saying, Man knoweth not what shall be: and who can tell him what shall be after him?

\chapterNumber{1}A vision of Isaiah, the sonne of Amoz, which he sawe concerning Iudah and Ierusalem: in the dayes of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{2}Heare, O heauens, and hearken, O earth: for the Lord hath sayde, I haue nourished and brought vp children, but they haue rebelled against me. 
\verseNumber{3}The oxe knoweth his owner, and the asse his masters crib: but Israel hath not knowen: my people hath not vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{4}Ah, sinfull nation, a people laden with iniquitie: a seede of the wicked, corrupt children: they haue forsaken the Lord: they haue prouoked the holy one of Israel to anger: they are gone backewarde. 
\verseNumber{5}Wherefore shoulde ye be smitten any more? for ye fall away more and more: the whole head is sicke, and the whole heart is heauie. 
\verseNumber{6}From the sole of the foote vnto the head, there is nothing whole therein, but wounds, and swelling, and sores full of corruption: they haue not bene wrapped, nor bound vp, nor mollified with oyle. 
\verseNumber{7}Your land is waste: your cities are burnt with fire: strangers deuoure your lande in your presence, and it is desolate like the ouerthrowe of strangers. 
\verseNumber{8}And the daughter of Zion shall remaine like a cotage in a vineyarde, like a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and like a besieged citie. 
\verseNumber{9}Except the Lord of hostes had reserued vnto vs, euen a small remnant: we should haue bene as Sodom, and should haue bene like vnto Gomorah. 
\verseNumber{10}Heare the worde of the Lord, O princes of Sodom: hearken vnto the Law of our God, O people of Gomorah. 
\verseNumber{11}What haue I to doe with the multitude of your sacrifices, sayth the Lord? I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and of the fat of fed beasts: and I desire not the blood of bullocks, nor of lambs, nor of goates. 
\verseNumber{12}When ye come to appeare before me, who required this of your hands to tread in my courts? 
\verseNumber{13}Bring no more oblations, in vaine: incense is an abomination vnto me: I can not suffer your newe moones, nor Sabbaths, nor solemne dayes (it is iniquitie) nor solemne assemblies. 
\verseNumber{14}My soule hateth your newe moones and your appointed feastes: they are a burden vnto me: I am weary to beare them. 
\verseNumber{15}And when you shall stretch out your hands, I wil hide mine eyes from you: and though ye make many prayers, I wil not heare: for your hands are full of blood. 
\verseNumber{16}Wash you, make you cleane: take away the euill of your workes from before mine eyes: cease to doe euill. 
\verseNumber{17}Learne to doe well: seeke iudgement, relieue the oppressed: iudge the fatherlesse and defend the widowe. 
\verseNumber{18}Come nowe, and let vs reason together, sayth the Lord: though your sinnes were as crimsin, they shalbe made white as snowe: though they were red like skarlet, they shalbe as wooll. 
\verseNumber{19}If ye consent and obey, ye shall eate the good things of the land. 
\verseNumber{20}But if ye refuse and be rebellious, ye shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. 
\verseNumber{21}Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers. 
\verseNumber{22}Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water. 
\verseNumber{23}Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies. 
\verseNumber{25}Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne. 
\verseNumber{26}And I will restore thy iudges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward shalt thou be called a citie of righteousnes, and a faithfull citie. 
\verseNumber{27}Zion shall be redeemed in iudgement, and they that returne in her, in iustice. 
\verseNumber{28}And the destruction of the transgressers and of the sinners shalbe together: and they that forsake the Lord, shalbe consumed. 
\verseNumber{29}For they shalbe confounded for the okes, which ye haue desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens, that ye haue chosen. 
\verseNumber{30}For ye shalbe as an oke, whose leafe fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water. 
\verseNumber{31}And the strong shall be as towe, and the maker thereof, as a sparke: and they shall both burne together, and none shall quench them.

\chapterNumber{2}The worde that Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sawe vpon Iudah and Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{2}It shall be in the last dayes, that the mountaine of the house of the Lord shalbe prepared in the top of the mountaines, and shall be exalted aboue the hilles, and all nations shall flowe vnto it. 
\verseNumber{3}And many people shall go, and say, Come, and let vs go vp to the mountaine of the Lord, to the house of the God of Iaakob, and hee will teach vs his wayes, and we will walke in his paths: for the Lawe shall go foorth of Zion, and the worde of the Lord from Ierusalem, 
\verseNumber{4}And he shall iudge among the nations, and rebuke many people: they shall breake their swords also into mattocks, and their speares into siethes: nation shall not lift vp a sworde against nation, neither shall they learne to fight any more. 
\verseNumber{5}O house of Iaakob, come ye, and let vs walke in the Lawe of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}Surely thou hast forsaken thy people, the house of Iaakob, because they are full of the East maners, and are sorcerers as the Philistims, and abound with strange children. 
\verseNumber{7}Their land also was full of siluer and golde, and there was none ende of their treasures: and their land was full of horses, and their charets were infinite. 
\verseNumber{8}Their land also was full of idols: they worshipped the worke of their owne hands, which their owne fingers haue made. 
\verseNumber{9}And a man bowed himselfe, and a man humbled himselfe: therefore spare them not. 
\verseNumber{10}Enter into the rocke, and hide thee in the dust from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie. 
\verseNumber{11}The hie looke of man shall be humbled, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord onely shall be exalted in that day. 
\verseNumber{12}For the day of the Lord of hostes is vpon all the proude and hautie, and vpon all that is exalted: and it shalbe made lowe. 
\verseNumber{13}Euen vpon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are hie and exalted, and vpon all the okes of Bashan, 
\verseNumber{14}And vpon all the hie mountaines, and vpon all the hilles that are lifted vp, 
\verseNumber{15}And vpon euery hie tower, and vpon euery strong wall, 
\verseNumber{16}And vpon all the shippes of Tarshish, and vpon all pleasant pictures. 
\verseNumber{17}And the hautinesse of men shalbe brought low, and the loftinesse of men shalbe abased, and the Lord shall onely be exalted in that day. 
\verseNumber{18}And the idoles will he vtterly destroy. 
\verseNumber{19}Then they shall goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the caues of the earth, from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall arise to destroy the earth. 
\verseNumber{20}At that day shall man cast away his siluer idoles, and his golden idoles (which they had made themselues to worship them) to the mowles and to the backes, 
\verseNumber{21}To goe into the holes of the rockes, and into the toppes of the ragged rockes from before the feare of the Lord, and from the glory of his maiestie, when he shall rise to destroy the earth.

\verseNumber{3}The captaine of fiftie, and the honourable, and the counseller, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent man. 
\verseNumber{4}And I will appoint children to bee their princes, and babes shall rule ouer them.

\verseNumber{6}When euery one shall take holde of his brother of the house of his father, and say, Thou hast clothing: thou shalt bee our prince, and let this fall be vnder thine hand. 
\verseNumber{7}In that day hee shall sweare, saying, I cannot bee an helper: for there is no bread in mine house, nor clothing: therefore make me no prince of the people. 
\verseNumber{8}Doubtlesse Ierusalem is fallen, and Iudah is fallen downe, because their tongue and workes are against the Lord, to prouoke the eyes of his glory. 
\verseNumber{9}The triall of their countenance testifieth against them, yea, they declare their sinnes as Sodom, they hide them not. Wo be vnto their soules: for they haue rewarded euil vnto themselues. 
\verseNumber{10}Say ye, Surely it shalbe well with the iust: for they shall eate the fruite of their workes. 
\verseNumber{11}Woe be to the wicked, it shalbe euill with him: for the reward of his handes shalbe giuen him. 
\verseNumber{12}Children are extortioners of my people, and women haue rule ouer them: O my people, they that leade thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy the way of thy paths. 
\verseNumber{13}The Lord standeth vp to pleade, yea, hee standeth to iudge the people. 
\verseNumber{14}The Lord shall enter into iudgement with the Ancients of his people and the princes thereof: for ye haue eaten vp the vineyarde: the spoyle of the poore is in your houses. 
\verseNumber{15}What haue ye to do, that ye beate my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord, euen the Lord of hoasts? 
\verseNumber{16}The Lord also saith, Because the daughters of Zion are hautie, and walke with stretched out neckes, and with wandering eyes, walking and minsing as they goe, and making a tinkeling with their feete, 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore shall the Lord make the heades of the daughters of Zion balde, and the Lord shall discouer their secrete partes. 
\verseNumber{18}In that day shall the Lord take away the ornament of the slippers, and the calles, and the round tyres, 
\verseNumber{19}The sweete balles, and the brasselets, and the bonnets, 
\verseNumber{20}The tyres of the head, and the sloppes, and the head bandes, and the tablets, and the earings, 
\verseNumber{21}The rings and the mufflers, 
\verseNumber{22}The costly apparell and the vailes, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes, 
\verseNumber{23}And the glasses and the fine linen, and the hoodes, and the launes. 
\verseNumber{24}And in steade of sweete sauour, there shall be stinke, and in steade of a girdle, a rent, and in steade of dressing of the heare, baldnesse, and in steade of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth, and burning in steade of beautie.

\verseNumber{3}Then hee that shalbe left in Zion, and hee that shall remaine in Ierusalem, shalbe called holy, and euery one shalbe written among the liuing in Ierusalem, 
\verseNumber{4}When the Lord shall wash the filthines of the daughters of Zion, and purge the blood of Ierusalem out of the middes thereof by the spirite of iudgement, and by the spirit of burning. 
\verseNumber{5}And the Lord shall create vpon euery place of mount Zion, and vpon the assemblies thereof, a cloude and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for vpon all the glory shall be a defence. 
\verseNumber{6}And a couering shalbe for a shadow in the day for the heate, and a place of refuge and a couert for the storme and for the raine.

\chapterNumber{5}Now will I sing to my beloued a song of my beloued to his vineyarde, My beloued had a vineyarde in a very fruitefull hill, 
\verseNumber{2}And hee hedged it, and gathered out the stones of it, and he planted it with the best plants, and hee builte a towre in the middes thereof, and made a wine presse therein: then hee looked that it should bring foorth grapes: but it brought foorth wilde grapes. 
\verseNumber{3}Now therefore, O inhabitants of Ierusalem and men of Iudah, iudge, I pray you, betweene me, and my vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{4}What coulde I haue done any more to my vineyard that I haue not done vnto it? why haue I looked that it should bring foorth grapes, and it bringeth foorth wilde grapes? 
\verseNumber{5}And nowe I will tell you what I will do to my vineyarde: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten vp: I will breake the wall thereof, and it shall be troden downe: 
\verseNumber{6}And I will laye it waste: it shall not be cut, nor digged, but briers, and thornes shall growe vp: I will also commande the cloudes that they raine no raine vpon it. 
\verseNumber{7}Surely the vineyard of the Lord of hostes is the house of Israel, and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant, and hee looked for iudgement, but beholde oppression: for righteousnesse, but beholde a crying. 
\verseNumber{8}Woe vnto them that ioyne house to house, and laye fielde to fielde, till there bee no place, that ye may be placed by your selues in the mids of the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}This is in mine cares, saith the Lord of hostes. Surely many houses shall be desolate, euen great, and faire without inhabitant. 
\verseNumber{10}For ten acres of vines shall yelde one bath, and the seede of an homer shall yelde an ephah. 
\verseNumber{11}Wo vnto them, that rise vp early to follow drunkennes, and to them that continue vntill night, till the wine doe inflame them. 
\verseNumber{12}And the harpe and viole, timbrel, and pipe, and wine are in their feastes: but they regard not the worke of the Lord, neither consider the worke of his handes. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore my people is gone into captiuitie, because they had no knowledge, and the glorie thereof are men famished, and the multitude thereof is dried vp with thirst. 
\verseNumber{14}Therefore hell hath inlarged it selfe, and hath opened his mouth, without measure, and their glorie, and their multitude, and their pompe, and hee that reioyceth among them, shall descend into it. 
\verseNumber{15}And man shalbe brought downe, and man shalbe humbled, euen the eyes of the proude shalbe humbled. 
\verseNumber{16}And the Lord of hostes shalbe exalted in iudgement, and the holy God shalbe sanctified in iustice. 
\verseNumber{17}Then shall the lambes feede after their maner, and the strangers shall eate the desolate places of the fat. 
\verseNumber{18}Woe vnto them, that draw iniquitie with cordes of vanitie, and sinne, as with cart ropes: 
\verseNumber{19}Which say, Let him make speede: let him hasten his worke, that wee may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw neere and come, that we may knowe it. 
\verseNumber{20}Woe vnto them that speake good of euill, and euill of good, which put darkenes for light, and light for darkenes, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for sowre. 
\verseNumber{21}Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight. 
\verseNumber{22}Wo vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and to them that are strong to powre in strong drinke: 
\verseNumber{23}Which iustifie the wicked for a rewarde, and take away the righteousnesse of the righteous from him. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore as the flame of fire deuoureth the stubble, and as the chaffe is cosumed of the flame: so their roote shalbe as rottennesse, and their bud shall rise vp like dust, because they haue cast off the Lawe of the Lord of hostes, and contemned the word of the holy one of Israel. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and hee hath stretched out his hand vpon them, and hath smitten them that the mountaines did tremble: and their carkases were torne in the middes of the streetes, and for all this his wrath was not turned away, but his hande was stretched out still. 
\verseNumber{26}And he will lift vp a signe vnto the nations a farre, and wil hisse vnto them from the ende of the earth: and beholde, they shall come hastily with speede. 
\verseNumber{27}None shall faint nor fall among them: none shall slumber nor sleepe, neither shall the girdle of his loynes be loosed, nor the latchet of his shooes be broken: 
\verseNumber{28}Whose arrowes shall be sharpe, and all his bowes bent: his horse hoofes shall be thought like flint, and his wheeles like a whirlewinde. 
\verseNumber{29}His roaring shalbe like a lyon, and he shall roare like lyons whelpes: they shall roare, and lay holde of the praye: they shall take it away, and none shall deliuer it.

\chapterNumber{36}Nowe in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against al the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them. 
\verseNumber{2}And the King of Asshur sent Rabshakeh from Lachish toward Ierusalem vnto King Hezekiah, with a great hoste, and he stood by ye conduite of the vpper poole in the path of the fullers fielde. 
\verseNumber{3}Then came foorth vnto him Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceler, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder. 
\verseNumber{4}And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell you Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus sayth the great King, the King of Asshur, What confidence is this, wherein thou trustest? 
\verseNumber{5}I say, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre: on whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me? 
\verseNumber{6}Loe, thou trustest in this broken staffe of reede on Egypt, whereupon if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh King of Egypt, vnto all that trust in him. 
\verseNumber{7}But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God. Is not that he, whose hie places and whose altars Hezekiah tooke downe, and said to Iudah and to Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar? 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe therefore giue hostages to my lorde the King of Asshur, and I wil giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders vpon them. 
\verseNumber{9}For howe canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my lordes seruants? and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and for horsemen? 
\verseNumber{10}And am I now come vp without the Lord to this land to destroy it? The Lord sayd vnto me, Goe vp against this land and destroy it. 
\verseNumber{11}Then sayd Eliakim and Shebna and Ioah vnto Rabshakeh, Speake, I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, (for we vnderstand it) and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall. 
\verseNumber{12}Then said Rabshakeh, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee to speake these wordes, and not to the men that sit on the wall? that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you? 
\verseNumber{13}So Rabshakeh stood, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and sayd, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the King of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{14}Thus saith the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you. 
\verseNumber{15}Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs: this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the King of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{16}Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus sayth the King of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne fig tree, and drinke euery man the water of his owne well, 
\verseNumber{17}Till I come and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate, and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, 
\verseNumber{18}Least Hezekiah deceiue you, saying, The Lord wil deliuer vs. Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his land out of the hand of the King of Asshur? 
\verseNumber{19}Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? or howe haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand? 
\verseNumber{20}Who is hee among all the gods of these lands, that hath deliuered their countrey out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand? 
\verseNumber{21}Then they kept silence, and answered him not a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere him not. 
\verseNumber{22}Then came Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder, vnto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{37}And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{2}And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz. 
\verseNumber{3}And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth. 
\verseNumber{4}If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left. 
\verseNumber{5}So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 
\verseNumber{6}And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me. 
\verseNumber{7}Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land. 
\verseNumber{8}So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 
\verseNumber{9}He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 
\verseNumber{10}Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur. 
\verseNumber{11}Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered? 
\verseNumber{12}Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar? 
\verseNumber{13}Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? 
\verseNumber{14}So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying, 
\verseNumber{16}O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth. 
\verseNumber{17}Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{18}Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey, 
\verseNumber{19}And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur, 
\verseNumber{22}This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee. 
\verseNumber{23}Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel. 
\verseNumber{24}By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places. 
\verseNumber{25}I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in. 
\verseNumber{26}Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed? 
\verseNumber{27}Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen. 
\verseNumber{28}But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me. 
\verseNumber{29}Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest. 
\verseNumber{30}And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof. 
\verseNumber{31}And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward. 
\verseNumber{32}For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this. 
\verseNumber{33}Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it. 
\verseNumber{34}By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{35}For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake. 
\verseNumber{36}Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses. 
\verseNumber{37}So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh. 
\verseNumber{38}And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{38}About that time was Hezekiah sicke vnto the death, and the Prophet Isaiah sonne of Amoz came vnto him, and sayd vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord, Put thine house in an order, for thou shalt dye, and not liue. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, 
\verseNumber{3}And saide, I beseeche thee, Lord, remember nowe howe I haue walked before thee in trueth, and with a perfite heart, and haue done that which is good in thy sight: and Hezekiah wept sore. 
\verseNumber{4}Then came the worde of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}Goe, and say vnto Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord God of Dauid thy father, I haue heard thy prayer, and seene thy teares: behold, I will adde vnto thy dayes fifteene yeeres. 
\verseNumber{6}And I will deliuer thee out of the hand of the King of Asshur, and this citie: for I will defende this citie.

\verseNumber{12}Mine habitation is departed, and is remoued from me, like a shepheards tent: I haue cut off like a weauer my life: he will cut me off from the height: from day to night, thou wilt make an ende of me. 
\verseNumber{13}I rekoned to the morning: but he brake all my bones, like a lion: from day to night wilt thou make an ende of me. 
\verseNumber{14}Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourne as a doue: mine eies were lift vp on high: O Lord, it hath oppressed me, comfort me. 
\verseNumber{15}What shall I say? for he hath said it to me, and he hath done it: I shall walke weakely all my yeeres in the bitternesse of my soule. 
\verseNumber{16}O Lord, to them that ouerliue them, and to all that are in them, the life of my spirite shalbe knowen, that thou causedst me to sleepe and hast giuen life to me. 
\verseNumber{17}Beholde, for felicitie I had bitter griefe, but it was thy pleasure to deliuer my soule from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sinnes behinde thy backe. 
\verseNumber{18}For the graue cannot confesse thee: death cannot praise thee: they that goe downe into the pit, cannot hope for thy trueth.

\verseNumber{3}Then came Isaiah the Prophet vnto King Hezekiah, and said vnto him, What said these men? and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah saide, They are come from a farre countrey vnto me, from Babel.

\verseNumber{5}But if ye will not heare these wordes, I sweare by my selfe, saith the Lord, that this House shalbe waste. 
\verseNumber{6}For thus hath the Lord spoken vpon the Kings house of Iudah, Thou art Gilead vnto me, and the head of Lebanon, yet surely I wil make thee a wildernes and as cities not inhabited, 
\verseNumber{7}And I will prepare destroyers against thee, euery one with his weapons, and they shall cut downe thy chiefe cedar trees, and cast them in the fire. 
\verseNumber{8}And many nations shall passe by this citie, and they shall say euery man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus vnto this great citie? 
\verseNumber{9}Then shall they answere, Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped other gods, and serued them. 
\verseNumber{10}Weepe not for the dead, and be not moued for them, but weepe for him that goeth out: for he shall returne no more, nor see his natiue countrey. 
\verseNumber{11}For thus saith ye Lord, As touching Shallum the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, which reigned for Iosiah his father, which went out of this place, he shall not returne thither, 
\verseNumber{12}But he shall die in the place, whither they haue ledde him captiue, and shall see this lande no more. 
\verseNumber{13}Wo vnto him that buildeth his house by vnrighteousnesse, and his chambers without equitie: he vseth his neighbour without wages, and giueth him not for his worke.

\verseNumber{15}Shalt thou reigne, because thou closest thy selfe in cedar? did not thy father eate and drinke and prosper, when he executed iudgement and iustice? 
\verseNumber{16}When he iudged the cause of the afflicted and the poore, he prospered: was not this because he knewe me, saith the Lord? 
\verseNumber{17}But thine eyes and thine heart are but only for thy couetousnesse, and for to sheade innocent blood, and for oppression, and for destruction, euen to doe this. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore thus saith the Lord against Iehoiakim, the sonne of Iosiah king of Iudah, They shall not lament him, saying, Ah, my brother, or ah, sister: neither shall they mourne for him, saying, Ah, lord, or ah, his glorie. 
\verseNumber{19}He shalbe buryed, as an asse is buryed, euen drawen and cast foorth without the gates of Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{20}Goe vp to Lebanon, and cry: showte in Bashan and crye by the passages: for all thy louers are destroyed. 
\verseNumber{21}I spake vnto thee when thou wast in prosperitie: but thou saidest, I will not heare: this hath bene thy maner from thy youth, that thou wouldest not obey my voyce.

\verseNumber{23}Thou that dwellest in Lebanon, and makest thy nest in the cedars, howe beautiful shalt thou be when sorowes come vpon thee, as the sorowe of a woman in trauaile? 
\verseNumber{24}As I liue, saith the Lord, though Coniah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, were the signet of my right hand, yet would I plucke thee thence. 
\verseNumber{25}And I will giue thee into the hande of them that seeke thy life, and into the hande of them, whose face thou fearest, euen into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar king of Babel, and into the hande of the Caldeans. 
\verseNumber{26}And I will cause them to cary thee away, and thy mother that bare thee, into another countrey, where ye were not borne, and there shall ye die. 
\verseNumber{27}But to the lande, whereunto they desire to returne, they shall not returne thither. 
\verseNumber{28}Is not this man Coniah as a despised and broken idole? or as a vessell, wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they caryed away, hee and his seede, and cast out into a lande that they knowe not? 
\verseNumber{29}O earth, earth, earth, heare the worde of the Lord.

\verseNumber{22}They shall be brought to Babel, and there they shalbe vntil the day that I visite them, saith the Lord: then will I bring them vp, and restore them vnto this place.

\chapterNumber{28}And that same yeere in the beginning of the reigne of Zedekiah King of Iudah in the fourth yeere, and in the fifth moneth Hananiah the sonne of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake to mee in the House of the Lord in the presence of the Priestes, and of all the people, and said, 
\verseNumber{2}Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, saying, I haue broken the yoke of the King of Babel. 
\verseNumber{3}Within two yeeres space I will bring into this place all the vessels of the Lords House, that Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel tooke away from this place, and caried them into Babel. 
\verseNumber{4}And I will bring againe to this place Ieconiah the sonne of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, with all them that were caried away captiue of Iudah, and went into Babel, saith the Lord: for I will breake the yoke of the King of Babel. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the Prophet Ieremiah saide vnto the Prophet Hananiah in the presence of ye Priests, and in the presence of all the people that stoode in the House of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}Euen the Prophet Ieremiah sayde, So bee it: the Lord so doe, the Lord confirme thy words which thou hast prophecied to restore the vessels of the Lordes House, and al that is caried captiue, from Babel, into this place. 
\verseNumber{7}But heare thou now this worde that I will speake in thine eares and in the eares of all the people. 
\verseNumber{8}The Prophets that haue beene before mee and before thee in time past, prophecied against many countreyes, and against great kingdomes, of warre, and of plagues, and of pestilence. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Prophet which prophecieth of peace, when the word of the Prophet shall come to passe, then shall the Prophet be knowen that the Lord hath truely sent him. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Hananiah the Prophet tooke the yoke from the Prophet Ieremiahs necke, and brake it. 
\verseNumber{11}And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Euen so will I breake the yoke of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, from the necke of al nations within the space of two yeres: and the Prophet Ieremiah went his way. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the word of the Lord came vnto Ieremiah the Prophet, (after that Hananiah the Prophet had broken the yoke from the necke of the Prophet Ieremiah) saying, 
\verseNumber{13}Go, and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord, Thou hast broken the yokes of wood, but thou shalt make for them yokes of yron. 
\verseNumber{14}For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, I haue put a yoke of yron vpon the necke of all these nations, that they may serue Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel: for they shall serue him, and I haue giuen him the beasts of the fielde also. 
\verseNumber{15}Then sayd the Prophet Ieremiah vnto the Prophet Hananiah, Heare nowe Hananiah, the Lord hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lye. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will cast thee from of the earth: this yeere thou shalt die, because thou hast spoken rebelliously against the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}So Hananiah the Prophet died the same yeere in the seuenth moneth.

\verseNumber{2}(After that Ieconiah the King, and the Queene, and the eunuches, the princes of Iudah, and of Ierusalem, and the workemen, and cunning men were departed from Ierusalem) 
\verseNumber{3}By the hand of Elasah the sonne of Shaphan and Gemariah the sonne of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah King of Iudah sent vnto Babel to Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) saying, 
\verseNumber{4}Thus hath the Lord of hostes the God of Israel spoken vnto all that are caryed away captiues, whome I haue caused to be caryed away captiues from Ierusalem vnto Babel: 
\verseNumber{5}Buylde you houses to dwell in, and plant you gardens, and eate the fruites of them. 
\verseNumber{6}Take you wiues, and beget sonnes and daughters, and take wiues for your sonnes, and giue your daughters to husbands, that they may beare sonnes and daughters, that ye may bee increased there, and not diminished. 
\verseNumber{7}And seeke the prosperitie of the citie, whither I haue caused you to be caried away captiues, and pray vnto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall you haue peace. 
\verseNumber{8}For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Let not your prophets, and your southsayers that bee among you, deceiue you, neither giue eare to your dreames, which you dreame. 
\verseNumber{9}For they prophecie you a lie in my Name: I haue not sent them, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}But thus saith the Lord, That after seuentie yeeres be accomplished at Babel, I will visite you, and performe my good promise toward you, and cause you to returne to this place. 
\verseNumber{11}For I knowe the thoughtes, that I haue thought towards you, saith the Lord, euen the thoughtes of peace, and not of trouble, to giue you an ende, and your hope. 
\verseNumber{12}Then shall you crie vnto mee, and ye shall go and pray vnto me, and I will heare you, 
\verseNumber{13}And ye shall seeke mee and finde mee, because ye shall seeke mee with all your heart. 
\verseNumber{14}And I wil be found of you, saith the Lord, and I will turne away your captiuitie, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places, whither I haue cast you, saith the Lord, and will bring you againe vnto the place, whence I caused you to be caryed away captiue. 
\verseNumber{15}Because ye haue sayd, The Lord hath raised vs vp Prophets in Babel, 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore thus saith the Lord of the King, that sitteth vpon the throne of Dauid, and of all the people, that dwell in this citie, your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captiuitie: 
\verseNumber{17}Euen thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will sende vpon them the sworde, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figges, that cannot bee eaten, they are so naughtie. 
\verseNumber{18}And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence: and I will make them a terror to all kingdomes of the earth, and a curse, and astonishment and an hissing, and a reproche among all the nations whither I haue cast them, 
\verseNumber{19}Because they haue not hearde my words, saith the Lord, which I sent vnto them by my seruantes the Prophetes, rising vp earely, and sending them, but yee woulde not heare, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}Heare ye therefore the word of the Lord all ye of the captiuitie, whome I haue sent from Ierusalem to Babel.

\verseNumber{22}And al they of the captiuitie of Iudah, that are in Babel, shall take vp this curse against them, and say, The Lord make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whome the King of Babel burnt in the fire, 
\verseNumber{23}Because they haue committed vilenie in Israel, and haue committed adulterie with their neighbours wiues, and haue spoken lying words in my Name, which I haue not commanded them, euen I knowe it, and testifie it, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{24}Thou shalt also speake to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying, 
\verseNumber{25}Thus speaketh the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy Name vnto all the people, that are at Ierusalem, and to Zephaniah the sonne of Maaseiah the Priest, and to all the Priests, saying, 
\verseNumber{26}The Lord hath made thee Priest for Iehoiada the Priest, that yee should bee officers in the House of the Lord, for euery man that raueth and maketh himselfe a Prophet, to put him in prison and in the stockes. 
\verseNumber{27}Nowe therefore why hast not thou reproued Ieremiah of Anathoth, which prophecieth vnto you? 
\verseNumber{28}For, for this cause hee sent vnto vs in Babel, saying, This captiuitie is long: buyld houses to dwell in, and plant gardens, and eate the fruites of them. 
\verseNumber{29}And Zephaniah the Priest red this letter in the eares of Ieremiah the Prophet. 
\verseNumber{30}Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,

\verseNumber{32}Therefore thus saieth the Lord, Behold, I wil visite Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seede: hee shall not haue a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he beholde the good, that I will doe for my people, sayth the Lord, because he hath spoken rebelliously against the Lord.

\verseNumber{4}Againe, these are the wordes that the Lord spake concerning Israel, and concerning Iudah.

\verseNumber{14}All thy louers haue forgotten thee: they seeke thee not: for I haue striken thee with the wound of an enemie, and with a sharpe chastisement for ye multitude of thine iniquities, because thy sinnes were increased. 
\verseNumber{15}Why cryest thou for thine affliction? thy sorowe is incurable, for the multitude of thine iniquities: because thy sinnes were increased, I haue done these things vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore all they that deuoure thee, shall be deuoured, and all thine enemies euery one shall goe into captiuitie: and they that spoyle thee, shalbe spoyled, and all they that robbe thee, wil I giue to be robbed.

\chapterNumber{32}The worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the tenth yere of Zedekiah king of Iudah, which was the eightenth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar. 
\verseNumber{2}For then the King of Babels hoste besieged Ierusalem: And Ieremiah the Prophet was shutte vp in the court of the prison, which was in the King of Iudahs house. 
\verseNumber{3}For Zedekiah King of Iudah had shut him vp, saying, Wherefore doest thou prophesie, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the handes of the King of Babel, and he shall take it? 
\verseNumber{4}And Zedekiah the King of Iudah shall not escape out of the hande of the Caldeans, but shall surely be deliuered into the handes of the King of Babel, and shall speake with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall beholde his face, 
\verseNumber{5}And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babel, and there shall he be, vntil I visit him, saith ye Lord: though ye fight with the Caldeans, ye shall not prosper. 
\verseNumber{6}And Ieremiah said, The word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{7}Beholde, Hanameel, the sonne of Shallum thine vncle, shall come vnto thee and say, Bye vnto thee my fielde, that is in Anathoth: for the title by kindred appertaineth vnto thee to bye it. 
\verseNumber{8}So Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, came to mee in the court of the prison, according to the word of the Lord, and said vnto me, Bye my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the countrey of Beniamin: for the right of the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth vnto thee: bye it for thee. Then I knewe that this was the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the siluer, euen seuen shekels, and tenne pieces of siluer. 
\verseNumber{10}And I writ it in the booke and signed it, and tooke witnesses, and weighed him the siluer in the balances. 
\verseNumber{11}So I tooke the booke of the possession, being sealed according to the Lawe, and custome, with the booke that was open, 
\verseNumber{12}And I gaue the booke of the possession vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, the sonne of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine vncles sonne, and in the presence of the witnesses, written in the booke of the possession, before al the Iewes that sate in the court of the prison.

\verseNumber{14}Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Take the writings, euen this booke of the possession, both that is sealed, and this booke that is open, and put them in an earthen vessell, that they may continue a long time. 
\verseNumber{15}For the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel saith thus, Houses and fieldes, and vineyardes shall be possessed againe in this land. 
\verseNumber{16}Now when I had deliuered the booke of the possession vnto Baruch, the sonne of Neriah, I prayed vnto the Lord, saying,

\verseNumber{18}Thou shewest mercie vnto thousands, and recompensest the iniquitie of the fathers into the bosome of their children after them: O God the great and mightie, whose Name is ye Lord of hostes, 
\verseNumber{19}Great in counsell, and mightie in worke, (for thine eyes are open vpon all the wayes of ye sonnes of men, to giue to euery one according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes) 
\verseNumber{20}Which hast set signes and wonders in the land of Egypt vnto this day, and in Israel, and among all men, and hast made thee a Name, as appeareth this day, 
\verseNumber{21}And hast brought thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signes, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, with a stretched out arme, and with great terrour, 
\verseNumber{22}And hast giuen them this land, which thou diddest sweare to their fathers to giue them, euen a land, that floweth with milke and hony, 
\verseNumber{23}And they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voyce, neither walked in thy Law: all that thou commaundedst them to doe, they haue not done: therefore thou hast caused this whole plague to come vpon them. 
\verseNumber{24}Beholde, the mounts, they are come into the citie to take it, and the citie is giuen into the hande of the Caldeans, that fight against it by meanes of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence, and what thou hast spoken, is come to passe, and beholde, thou seest it. 
\verseNumber{25}And thou hast sayd vnto me, O Lord God, Bye vnto thee the fielde for siluer, and take witnesses: for the citie shall be giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.

\verseNumber{29}And the Caldeans shall come and fight against this citie, and set fire on this citie and burne it, with the houses, vpon whose rouses they haue offred incense vnto Baal, and powred drinke offrings vnto other gods, to prouoke me vnto anger. 
\verseNumber{30}For the children of Israel, and the children of Iudah haue surely done euill before me from their youth: for the children of Israel haue surely prouoked me to anger with the workes of their hands, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}Therefore this citie hath bene vnto me as a prouocation of mine anger, and of my wrath, from the day, that they built it, euen vnto this day, that I should remoue it out of my sight, 
\verseNumber{32}Because of all the euill of the children of Israel, and of the children of Iudah, which they haue done to prouoke mee to anger, euen they, their Kings, their Princes, their Priests, and their Prophets, and the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{33}And they haue turned vnto me the backe and not the face: though I taught them rising vp earely, and instructing them, yet they were not obedient to receiue doctrine, 
\verseNumber{34}But they set their abominations in ye house (whereupon my Name was called) to defile it, 
\verseNumber{35}And they built the hie places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to cause their sonnes and their daughters to passe through the fire vnto Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my minde, that they should doe such abomination, to cause Iudah to sinne. 
\verseNumber{36}And nowe therefore, thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken, concerning this citie, whereof ye say, It shalbe deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence, 
\verseNumber{37}Beholde, I will gather them out of all countreys, wherein I haue scattered them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation, and I wil bring them againe vnto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

\verseNumber{5}They come to fight with the Caldeans, but it is to fill themselues with the dead bodies of men, whome I haue slaine in mine anger and in my wrath: for I haue hid my face from this citie, because of all their wickednes.

\chapterNumber{34}The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord (when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, and all his hoste, and all the kingdomes of the earth, that were vnder the power of his hand, and all people fought against Ierusalem, and against all the cites thereof) saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Goe, and speake to Zedekiah King of Iudah, and tell him, Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the hand of the King of Babel, and he shall burne it with fire, 
\verseNumber{3}And thou shall not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and deliuered into his hand, and thine eyes shall beholde the face of the King of Babel, and he shall speake with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babel.

\verseNumber{8}This is the worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, after that the King Zedekiah had made a couenant with all the people, which were at Ierusalem, to proclaime libertie vnto them, 
\verseNumber{9}That euery man should let his seruant go free, and euery man his handmayde, which was an Ebrue or an Ebruesse, and that none should serue himselfe of them, to wit, of a Iewe his brother. 
\verseNumber{10}Now when all the princes, and all the people which had agreed to the couenant, heard that euery one should let his seruant go free, and euery one his handmaide, and that none should serue them selues of them any more, they obeyed and let them go. 
\verseNumber{11}But afterwarde they repented and caused the seruants and the handmayds, whom they had let go free, to returne, and helde them in subiection as seruants and handmayds.

\verseNumber{14}At the terme of seuen yeres let ye go, euery man his brother an Ebrewe which hath bene solde vnto thee: and when he hath serued the sixe yeres, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers obeyed me not, neither inclined their eares. 
\verseNumber{15}And ye were nowe turned, and had done right in my sight in proclayming libertie, euery man to his neighbour, and ye had made a couenant before mee in the house, whereupon my Name is called. 
\verseNumber{16}But ye repented, and polluted my Name: for ye haue caused euery man his seruant, and euery man his handmayde, whom ye had set at libertie at their pleasure, to returne, and holde them in subiection to bee vnto you as seruantes and as handmaydes. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore thus saith the Lord, Ye haue not obeyed mee, in proclayming freedome euery man to his brother, and euery man to his neighbour: beholde, I proclaime a libertie for you, saith the Lord, to the sworde, to the pestilence, and to the famine, and I will make you a terrour to all the kingdomes of the earth. 
\verseNumber{18}And I will giue those men that haue broken my couenant, and haue not kept the wordes of the couenant, which they had made before me, when they cut the calfe in twaine, and passed betweene the partes thereof:

\chapterNumber{35}The worde which came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the dayes of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Go vnto the house of the Rechabites, and speake vnto them, and bring them into the house of the Lord into one of the chambers, and giue them wine to drinke. 
\verseNumber{3}Then tooke I Iaazaniah, the sonne of Ieremiah the sonne of Habazziniah, and his brethren, and all his sonnes, and the whole house of the Rechabites, 
\verseNumber{4}And I brought them into the House of the Lord, into the chamber of the sonnes of Hanan, the sonne of Igdaliah a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was aboue the chamber of Maaseiah the sonne of Shallum, the keeper of the treasure. 
\verseNumber{5}And I set before the sonnes of the house of the Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cuppes, and said vnto them, Drinke wine. 
\verseNumber{6}But they said, We will drinke no wine: for Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father commanded vs, saying, Ye shall drinke no wine, neither you nor your sonnes for euer. 
\verseNumber{7}Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seede, nor plant vineyarde, nor haue any, but all your dayes ye shall dwell in tentes, that ye may liue a long time in the land where ye be strangers. 
\verseNumber{8}Thus haue wee obeyed the voyce of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab our father, in all that he hath charged vs, and wee drinke no wine all our dayes, neither wee, our wiues, our sonnes, nor our daughters. 
\verseNumber{9}Neither builde wee houses for vs to dwell in, neither haue we vineyard, nor fielde, nor seede, 
\verseNumber{10}But we haue remained in tentes, and haue obeyed, and done according to all that Ionadab our father commanded vs. 
\verseNumber{11}But when Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel came vp into the land, we said, Come, and let vs go to Ierusalem, from the hoste of the Caldeans, and from the host of Aram: so we dwel at Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{12}Then came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying, 
\verseNumber{13}Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Goe, and tell the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, Will ye not receiue doctrine to obey my wordes, saith the Lord? 
\verseNumber{14}The commandement of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab that hee commanded his sonnes, that they should drinke no wine, is surely kept: for vnto this day they drinke none, but obey their fathers commandement: notwithstanding I haue spoken vnto you, rising earely, and speaking, but ye would not obey me. 
\verseNumber{15}I haue sent also vnto you all my seruants the Prophetes, rising vp earely, and sending, them, saying, Returne nowe euery man from his euill way, and amende your workes, and goe not after other gods to serue them, and ye shall dwel in the lande which I haue giuen vnto you, and to your fathers, but ye would not encline your eare, nor obey mee. 
\verseNumber{16}Surely the sonnes of Ionadab the sonne of Rechab, haue kept the commandement of their father, which he gaue them, but this people hath not obeyed me. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, all the euill that I haue pronounced against them, because I haue spoke vnto them, but they would not heare, and I haue called vnto them, but they would not answere. 
\verseNumber{18}And Ieremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Because ye haue obeyed the commandement of Ionadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according vnto all that hee hath commanded you,

\chapterNumber{36}And in the fourth yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this word vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,

\verseNumber{3}It may bee that the House of Iudah will heare of all the euill, which I determined to doe vnto them that they may returne euery man from his euil way, that I may forgiue their iniquitie and their sinnes. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Ieremiah called Baruch the sonne of Neriah, and Baruch wrote at the mouth of Ieremiah all the wordes of the Lord, which hee had spoken vnto him, vpon a roule or booke. 
\verseNumber{5}And Ieremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut vp, and can not go into the House of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore goe thou, and reade the roule wherein thou hast written at my mouth the words of the Lord in the audience of the people in the Lordes House vpon the fasting day: also thou shalt reade them in the hearing of all Iudah, that come out of their cities. 
\verseNumber{7}It may be that they will pray before the Lord, and euery one returne from his euill way, for great is the anger and the wrath, that the Lord hath declared against this people. 
\verseNumber{8}So Baruch the sonne of Neriah did according vnto all, that Ieremiah the Prophet commanded him, reading in the booke the wordes of the Lord in the Lords House. 
\verseNumber{9}And in the fift yeere of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, in the ninth moneth, they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Ierusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Iudah vnto Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{10}Then read Baruch in the booke the wordes of Ieremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the sonne of Shaphan the secretarie, in the hier court at the entrie of the new gate of the Lordes house, in the hearing of all the people. 
\verseNumber{11}When Michaiah the sonne of Gemariah, the sonne of Shaphan had heard out of the booke all the wordes of the Lord,

\verseNumber{13}Then Michaiah declared vnto them all the wordes that he had heard when Baruch read in the booke in the audience of the people. 
\verseNumber{14}Therefore all the princes sent Iehudi the sonne of Nethaniah, the sonne of Shelemiah, the sonne of Chushi, vnto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hande the roule, wherein thou hast read in the audience of the people, and come. So Baruch the sonne of Neriah, tooke the roule in his hand, and came vnto them. 
\verseNumber{15}And they saide vnto him, Sit downe now, and reade it, that we may heare. So Baruch read it in their audience. 
\verseNumber{16}Now when they had heard all the wordes, they were afraid both one and other, and said vnto Baruch, We will certifie the King of all these wordes. 
\verseNumber{17}And they examined Baruch, saying, Tell vs nowe, howe diddest thou write all these wordes at his mouth? 
\verseNumber{18}Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these wordes vnto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ynke in the booke. 
\verseNumber{19}Then saide the princes vnto Baruch, Goe, hide thee, thou and Ieremiah, and let no man knowe where ye be. 
\verseNumber{20}And they went in to the King to the court, but they layde vp the roule in the chamber of Elishama the Chancellour and tolde the King all the wordes, that he might heare. 
\verseNumber{21}So the King sent Iehudi to fet the roule, and he tooke it out of Elishama the Chancellours chamber, and Iehudi read it in the audience of the King, and in the audience of all the princes, which stoode beside the King. 
\verseNumber{22}Nowe the King sate in the winter House, in the ninth moneth, and there was a fire burning before him. 
\verseNumber{23}And when Iehudi had read three, or foure sides, hee cut it with the penknife and cast it into the fire, that was on the hearth vntil all the roule was consumed in the fire, that was on the hearth. 
\verseNumber{24}Yet they were not afraide, nor rent their garmets, neither the King, nor any of his seruants, that heard all these wordes. 
\verseNumber{25}Neuerthelesse, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah had besought the King, that he would not burne ye roule: but he would not heare them. 
\verseNumber{26}But the King commanded Ierahmeel the sonne of Hammelech, and Seraiah the sonne of Azriel, and Shelemiah the sonne of Abdiel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Ieremiah the Prophet, but the Lord hid them.

\verseNumber{29}And thou shalt say to Iehoiakim King of Iudah, Thus saith the Lord, Thou hast burnt this roule, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, that the King of Babel shall certainly come and destroye this land, and shall take thence both man and beast? 
\verseNumber{30}Therefore thus saith the Lord of Iehoiakim King of Iudah, Hee shall haue none to sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heate, and in the night to the frost. 
\verseNumber{31}And I will visite him and his seede, and his seruants for their iniquitie, and I will bring vpon them, and vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and vpon the men of Iudah all the euil that I haue pronounced against them: but they would not heare.

\verseNumber{10}Then Ishmael caryed away captiue all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, euen the Kings daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward had committed to Gedaliah the sonne of Ahikam, and Ishmael the sonne of Nethaniah caried them away captiue, and departed to goe ouer to the Ammonites.

\verseNumber{10}The Lord hath brought forth our righteousnesse: come and let vs declare in Zion the worke of the Lord our God. 
\verseNumber{11}Make bright the arrowes: gather the shieldes: the Lord hath raised vp the spirit of the King of the Medes: for his purpose is against Babel to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, and the vengeance of his Temple. 
\verseNumber{12}Set vp the standart vpon the walles of Babel, make the watch strong: set vp the watchmen: prepare the skoutes: for the Lord hath both deuised, and done that which he spake against the inhabitantes of Babel. 
\verseNumber{13}O thou that dwellest vpon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine ende is come, euen the ende of thy couetousnes. 
\verseNumber{14}The Lord of hostes hath sworne by him selfe, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers, and they shall cry and shoute against thee. 
\verseNumber{15}He hath made the earth by his power, and established the world by his wisedome, and hath stretched out the heauen by his discretion. 
\verseNumber{16}Hee giueth by his voyce the multitude of waters in the heauen, and he causeth the cloudes to ascend from the endes of the earth: he turneth lightnings to raine, and bringeth forth the winde out of his treasures. 
\verseNumber{17}Euery man is a beast by his owne knowledge: euery founder is confounded by the grauen image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein. 
\verseNumber{18}They are vanitie, and the worke of errours: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. 
\verseNumber{19}The portion of Iaakob is not like them: for he is the maker of all things, and Israel is the rodde of his inheritance: the Lord of hostes is his Name. 
\verseNumber{20}Thou art mine hammer, and weapons of warre: for with thee will I breake the nations, and with thee wil I destroy kingdomes, 
\verseNumber{21}And by thee wil I breake horse and horseman, and by thee will I breake the charet and him that rideth therein. 
\verseNumber{22}By thee also will I breake man and woman, and by thee wil I breake olde and yong, and by thee wil I breake the yong man and the mayde. 
\verseNumber{23}I wil also breake by thee the shepheard and his flocke, and by thee will I breake the husband man and his yoke of oxen, and by thee will I breake the dukes and princes. 
\verseNumber{24}And I will render vnto Babel, and to all the inhabitants of the Caldeans all their euil, that they haue done in Zion, euen in your sight, sayth the Lord. 
\verseNumber{25}Beholde, I come vnto thee, O destroying mountaine, sayth the Lord, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand vpon thee, and rolle thee downe from the rockes, and wil make thee a burnt mountaine. 
\verseNumber{26}They shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for euer, sayth the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}Set vp a standard in the lande: blowe the trumpets among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call vp the kingdomes of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz against her: appoynt the prince against her: cause horses to come vp as the rough caterpillers. 
\verseNumber{28}Prepare against her the nations with the Kings of the Medes, the dukes thereof, and the princes thereof, and all the land of his dominion. 
\verseNumber{29}And the land shall tremble and sorow: for the deuise of the Lord shalbe performed against Babel, to make the lande of Babel waste without an inhabitant. 
\verseNumber{30}The strong men of Babel haue ceased to fight: they haue remayned in their holdes: their strength hath fayled, and they were like women: they haue burnt her dwelling places, and her barres are broken. 
\verseNumber{31}A post shall runne to meete the post, and a messenger to meete the messenger, to shew the King of Babel, that his citie is taken on a side thereof, 
\verseNumber{32}And that the passages are stopped, and the reedes burnt with fire, and the me of war troubled. 
\verseNumber{33}For thus sayth the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, the daughter of Babel is like a threshing floore: the time of her threshing is come: yet a litle while, and the time of her haruest shall come. 
\verseNumber{34}Nebuchad-nezzar the King of Babel hath deuoured me, and destroyed me: he hath made me an emptie vessel: he swallowed mee vp like a dragon, and filled his belly with my delicates, and hath cast me out. 
\verseNumber{35}The spoyle of me, and that which was left of me, is brought vnto Babel, shall the inhabitant of Zion say: and my blood vnto the inhabitantes of Caldea, shall Ierusalem say. 
\verseNumber{36}Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will maintayne thy cause, and take vengeance for thee, and I will drie vp the sea, and drie vp her springes. 
\verseNumber{37}And Babel shall be as heapes, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant. 
\verseNumber{38}They shall rore together like lions, and yell as the lyons whelpes. 
\verseNumber{39}In their heate I will make them feastes, and I wil make them drunken, that they may reioyce, and sleepe a perpetual sleepe, and not wake, sayth the Lord. 
\verseNumber{40}I wil bring them downe like lambes to the slaughter, and like rams and goates. 
\verseNumber{41}How is Sheshach taken! and howe is the glory of the whole earth taken! how is Babel become an astonishment among the nations! 
\verseNumber{42}The sea is come vp vpon Babel: he is couered with the multitude of the waues thereof. 
\verseNumber{43}Her cities are desolate: the land is dry and a wildernes, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth the sonne of man passe thereby. 
\verseNumber{44}I wil also visite Bel in Babel, and I wil bring out of his mouth, that which he hath swallowed vp, and the nations shall runne no more vnto him, and the wall of Babel shall fall. 
\verseNumber{45}My people, go out of the middes of her, and deliuer yee euery man his soule from the fierce wrath of the Lord, 
\verseNumber{46}Least your heart euen faynt, and ye feare the rumour, that shalbe heard in the land: the rumour shall come this yeere, and after that in the other yeere shall come a rumour, and crueltie in the land, and ruler against ruler. 
\verseNumber{47}Therefore beholde, the dayes come, that I will visite the images of Babel, and the whole land shalbe confounded, and all her slayne shall fall in the middes of her. 
\verseNumber{48}Then the heauen and the earth, and all that is therein, shall reioyce for Babel: for the destroyers shall come vnto her from the North, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{49}As Babel caused the slaine of Israel to fal, so by Babel the slaine of all the earth did fall. 
\verseNumber{50}Ye that haue escaped the sworde, goe away, stand not still: remember the Lord a farre of, and let Ierusalem come into your minde. 
\verseNumber{51}Wee are confounded because wee haue heard reproch: shame hath couered our faces, for straungers are come into the Sanctuaries of the Lordes House. 
\verseNumber{52}Wherefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I will visite her grauen images, and through all her land the wounded shall grone. 
\verseNumber{53}Though Babel should mount vp to heauen, and though shee should defend her strength on hye, yet from mee shall her destroyers come, sayth the Lord. 
\verseNumber{54}A sound of a cry commeth from Babel, and great destruction from the land of the Caldeans, 
\verseNumber{55}Because the Lord hath layde Babel waste and destroyed from her the great voyce, and her waues shall roare like great waters, and a sounde was made by their noyse: 
\verseNumber{56}Because the destroyer is come vpon her, euen vpon Babel, and her strong men are taken, their bowes are broken: for the Lord God that recompenceth, shall surely recompence. 
\verseNumber{57}And I will make drunke her princes, and her wise men, her dukes, and her nobles, and her strong men: and they shall sleepe a perpetuall sleepe, and not wake, sayth the King, whose Name is the Lord of hostes. 
\verseNumber{58}Thus saith the Lord of hostes, The thicke wall of Babel shalbe broken, and her hie gates shall be burnt with fire, and the people shall labour in vaine, and the folke in ye fire, for they shalbe weary. 
\verseNumber{59}The worde which Ieremiah the Prophet commanded Sheraiah the sonne of Neriiah, the sonne of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the King of Iudah into Babel, in the fourth yeere of his reigne: and this Sheraiah was a peaceable prince. 
\verseNumber{60}So Ieremiah wrote in a booke all the euill that should come vpon Babel: euen al these things, that are written against Babel. 
\verseNumber{61}And Ieremiah sayd to Sheraiah, Whe thou commest vnto Babel, and shalt see, and shalt reade all these wordes, 
\verseNumber{62}Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to destroy it, that none should remaine in it, neither man nor beast, but that it should be desolate for euer. 
\verseNumber{63}And when thou hast made an ende of reading this booke, thou shalt binde a stone to it, and cast it in the middes of Euphrates, 
\verseNumber{64}And shalt say, Thus shall Babel be drowned, and shall not rise from the euil, that I will bring vpon her: and they shall be weary. Thus farre are the wordes of Ieremiah.

\chapterNumber{52}Zedekiah was one and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and he reigned eleuen yeeres in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Hamutal, the daughter of Ieremiah of Libnah. 
\verseNumber{2}And he did euil in the eyes of the Lord, according to all that Iehoiakim had done. 
\verseNumber{3}Doubtlesse because the wrath of the Lord was against Ierusalem and Iudah, till he had cast them out from his presence, therefore Zedekiah rebelled against the King of Babel. 
\verseNumber{4}But in the ninth yeere of his reigne, in the tenth moneth the tenth day of the moneth came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel, he and all his hoste against Ierusalem, and pitched against it, and buylt fortes against it round about. 
\verseNumber{5}So the citie was besieged vnto the eleuenth yeere of the King Zedekiah. 
\verseNumber{6}Now in the fourth moneth, the ninth day of the moneth, the famine was sore in ye citie, so that there was no more bread for ye people of the land. 
\verseNumber{7}Then the citie was broken vp and all the men of warre fled, and went out of the citie by night, by the way of the gate betweene the two walles, which was by the kings garden: (now the Caldeans were by the citie round about) and they went by the way of the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{8}But the army of the Caldeans pursued after the king, and tooke Zedekiah in the desert of Iericho, and all his host was scattered from him. 
\verseNumber{9}Then they tooke the king and caryed him vp vnto the king of Babel to Riblah in the lande of Hamath, where he gaue iudgement vpon him. 
\verseNumber{10}And the king of Babel slewe the sonnes of Zedekiah, before his eyes he slew also al ye princes of Iudah in Riblah. 
\verseNumber{11}Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babel bound him in chaines, and caried him to Babel, and put him in pryson till the day of his death. 
\verseNumber{12}Now in the fift moneth in the tenth day of the moneth (which was the nineteenth yere of ye King Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel) came Nebuzar-adan chiefe steward which stoode before the king of Babel in Ierusalem, 
\verseNumber{13}And burnt the House of the Lord, and the Kings house, and all the houses of Ierusalem, and all the great houses burnt he with fire. 
\verseNumber{14}And al the armie of the Caldeans that were with the chiefe steward, brake downe all ye walles of Ierusalem round about. 
\verseNumber{15}Then Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward caried away captiue certaine of the poore of the people, and the residue of the people that remayned in the citie, and those that were fled, and fallen to the king of Babel, with the rest of the multitude. 
\verseNumber{16}But Nebuzar-adan the chiefe steward left certaine of the poore of the lande, to dresse the vines, and to till the land. 
\verseNumber{17}Also the pillars of brasse that were in the House of the Lord, and the bases, and the brasen Sea, that was in the house of ye Lord, the Caldeans brake, and caried all the brasse of them to Babel. 
\verseNumber{18}The pots also and the besomes, and the instruments of musicke, and the basins, and the incense dishes, and all the vessels of brasse wherewith they ministred, tooke they away. 
\verseNumber{19}And the bowles, and the ashpannes, and the basins, and the pots, and the candlestickes, and the incense dishes, and the cuppes, and all that was of golde, and that was of siluer, tooke the chiefe steward away, 
\verseNumber{20}With the two pillars, one Sea, and twelue brasen bulles, that were vnder the bases, which King Salomon had made in ye house of ye Lord: the brasse of all these vessels was without weight. 
\verseNumber{21}And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteene cubites, and a threede of twelue cubites did compasse it, and the thicknesse thereof was foure fingers: it was holowe. 
\verseNumber{22}And a chapiter of brasse was vpon it, and the height of one chapiter was fiue cubites with networke, and pomegranates vpon the chapiters round about, all of brasse: the seconde pillar also, and the pomegranates were like vnto these. 
\verseNumber{23}And there were ninetie and sixe pomegranates on a side: and all the pomegranates vpon the net worke were an hundreth round about. 
\verseNumber{24}And the chiefe steward tooke Sheraiah the chiefe Priest, and Zephaniah the seconde Priest, and the three keepers of the doore. 
\verseNumber{25}Hee tooke also out of the citie an Eunuch, which had the ouersight of the men of warre, and seuen men that were in the Kings presence, which were founde in the citie, and Sopher captayne of the hoste who mustered the people of the lande, and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the middes of the citie. 
\verseNumber{26}Nebuzar-adan the chiefe stewarde tooke them, and brought them to the king of Babel to Riblah. 
\verseNumber{27}And the king of Babel smote them, and slewe them in Riblah, in the lande of Hamath: thus Iudah was caried away captiue out of his owne land. 
\verseNumber{28}This is the people, whome Nebuchad-nezzar caried away captiue, in the seuenth yeere, euen three thousande Iewes, and three and twentie. 
\verseNumber{29}In the eightenth yere of Nebuchad-nezzar he caried away captiue from Ierusalem eight hundreth thirtie and two persons.

\verseNumber{31}And in the seuen and thirtieth yeere of the captiuitie of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, in the twelfth moneth, in the fiue and twentieth day of the moneth, Euil-merodach King of Babel, in the first yeere of his reigne, lifted vp the head of Iehoiachin King of Iudah, and brought him out of pryson, 
\verseNumber{32}And spake kindly vnto him, and set his throne aboue the throne of the Kings, that were with him in Babel, 
\verseNumber{33}And changed his pryson garmentes, and he did continually eate bread before him all the dayes of his life. 
\verseNumber{34}His porcion was a continuall portion giuen him of ye king of Babel, euery day a certaine, all the dayes of his life vntill he died.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Howe doeth the citie remaine solitarie that was full of people? she is as a widowe: she that was great among the nations, and princesse among the prouinces, is made tributarie. 
\verseNumber{2}She weepeth continually in the night, and her teares runne downe by her cheekes: among all her louers, she hath none to comfort her: all her friendes haue delt vnfaithfully with her, and are her enemies. 
\verseNumber{3}Iudah is caried away captiue because of affliction, and because of great seruitude: shee dwelleth among the heathen, and findeth no rest: all her persecuters tooke her in the straites. 
\verseNumber{4}The wayes of Zion lament, because no man commeth to the solemne feastes: all her gates are desolate: her Priests sigh: her virgins are discomfited, and she is in heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{5}Her aduersaries are the chiefe, and her enemies prosper: for the Lord hath afflicted her, for the multitude of her transgressions, and her children are gone into captiuitie before the enemie. 
\verseNumber{6}And from the daughter of Zion all her beautie is departed: her princes are become like harts that finde no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. 
\verseNumber{7}Ierusalem remembred the dayes of her affliction, and of her rebellion, and all her pleasant things, that shee had in times past, when her people fell into the hande of the enemie, and none did helpe her: the aduersarie sawe her, and did mocke at her Sabbaths. 
\verseNumber{8}Ierusalem hath grieuously sinned, therefore shee is in derision: all that honoured her, despise her, because they haue seene her filthinesse: yea, she sigheth and turneth backeward. 
\verseNumber{9}Her filthinesse is in her skirts: she remembred not her last ende, therefore she came downe wonderfully: she had no comforter: O Lord, behold mine affliction: for the enemie is proud. 
\verseNumber{10}The enemie hath stretched out his hande vpon al her pleasant things: for she hath seene the heathen enter into her Sanctuarie, whom thou diddest commande, that they shoulde not enter into thy Church. 
\verseNumber{11}All her people sigh and seeke their bread: they haue giuen their pleasant thinges for meate to refresh the soule: see, O Lord, and consider: for I am become vile. 
\verseNumber{12}Haue ye no regarde, all yee that passe by this way? behold, and see, if there be any sorowe like vnto my sorowe, which is done vnto mee, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce wrath. 
\verseNumber{13}From aboue hath hee sent fire into my bones, which preuaile against them: he hath spred a net for my feete, and turned me backe: hee hath made me desolate, and daily in heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{14}The yoke of my transgressions is bounde vpon his hand: they are wrapped, and come vp vpon my necke: hee hath made my strength to fall: the Lord hath deliuered me into their hands, neither am I able to rise vp. 
\verseNumber{15}The Lord hath troden vnder foote all my valiant men in the middes of me: he hath called an assembly against me to destroy my yong men: the Lord hath troden the wine presse vpon the virgine the daughter of Iudah. 
\verseNumber{16}For these things I weepe: mine eye, euen mine eye casteth out water, because the comforter that should refresh my soule, is farre from me: my children are desolate, because the enemie preuailed. 
\verseNumber{17}Zion stretcheth out her handes, and there is none to comfort her: the Lord hath appoynted the enemies of Iaakob rounde about him: Ierusalem is as a menstruous woman in the middes of them. 
\verseNumber{18}The Lord is righteous: for I haue rebelled against his commandement: heare, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorowe: my virgins and my yong men are gone into captiuitie. 
\verseNumber{19}I called for my louers, but they deceiued me: my Priestes and mine Elders perished in the citie while they sought their meate to refresh their soules. 
\verseNumber{20}Behold, O Lord, howe I am troubled: my bowels swell: mine heart is turned within me, for I am ful of heauinesse: the sword spoyleth abroad, as death doeth at home. 
\verseNumber{21}They haue heard that I mourne, but there is none to comfort mee: all mine enemies haue heard of my trouble, and are glad, that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day, that thou hast pronounced, and they shalbe like vnto me. 
\verseNumber{22}Let all their wickednes come before thee: do vnto them, as thou hast done vnto me, for all my transgressions: for my sighes are many, and mine heart is heauy.

\chapterNumber{2}How hath the Lord darkened the daughter of Zion in his wrath! and hath cast downe from heauen vnto the earth the beautie of Israel, and remembred not his footestoole in the day of his wrath! 
\verseNumber{2}The Lord hath destroyed al the habitations of Iaakob, and not spared: he hath throwen downe in his wrath ye strong holds of the daughter of Iudah: he hath cast the downe to ye ground: he hath polluted the kingdome and the princes thereof. 
\verseNumber{3}Hee hath cut off in his fierce wrath all the horne of Israel: he hath drawen backe his right hand from before the enemie, and there was kindled in Iaakob like a flame of fire, which deuoured rounde about. 
\verseNumber{4}He hath bent his bowe like an enemie: his right hand was stretched vp as an aduersarie, and slewe al that was pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he powred out his wrath like fire. 
\verseNumber{5}The Lord was as an enemie: he hath deuoured Israel, and consumed all his palaces: hee hath destroyed his strong holdes, and hath increased in the daughter of Iudah lamentation and mourning. 
\verseNumber{6}For hee hath destroyed his Tabernacle, as a garden, hee hath destroyed his Congregation: the Lord hath caused the feastes and Sabbathes to bee forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his wrath the King and the Priest. 
\verseNumber{7}The Lord hath forsaken his altar: he hath abhorred his Sanctuarie: he hath giue into the hand of the enemie the walles of her palaces: they haue made a noyse in the House of the Lord, as in the day of solemnitie. 
\verseNumber{8}The Lord hath determined to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: hee stretched out a lyne: hee hath not withdrawen his hande from destroying: therefore hee made the rampart and the wall to lament: they were destroyed together. 
\verseNumber{9}Her gates are sunke to the grounde: he hath destroyed and broken her barres: her King and her princes are among the Gentiles: the Lawe is no more, neither can her Prophets receiue any vision from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}The Elders of the daughter of Zion sit vpon the grounde, and keepe silence: they haue cast vp dust vpon their heades: they haue girded them selues with sackecloth: the virgines of Ierusalem hang downe their heades to the ground. 
\verseNumber{11}Mine eyes doe saile with teares: my bowels swell: my liuer is powred vpon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and sucklings swoone in the streetes of the citie. 
\verseNumber{12}They haue sayd to their mothers, Where is bread and drinke? when they swooned as the wounded in the streetes of the citie, and whe they gaue vp the ghost in their mothers bosome. 
\verseNumber{13}What thing shall I take to witnesse for thee? what thing shall I compare to thee, O daughter Ierusalem? what shall I liken to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgine daughter Zion? for thy breach is great like ye sea: who can heale thee? 
\verseNumber{14}Thy Prophets haue looked out vayne, and foolish things for thee, and they haue not discouered thine iniquitie, to turne away thy captiuitie, but haue looked out for thee false prophesies, and causes of banishment. 
\verseNumber{15}All that passe by the way, clap their hands at thee: they hisse and wagge their head vpon the daughter Ierusalem, saying, Is this the citie that men call, The perfection of beautie, and the ioye of the whole earth? 
\verseNumber{16}All thine enemies haue opened their mouth against thee: they hisse and gnashe the teeth, saying, Let vs deuoure it: certainely this is the day that we looked for: we haue founde and seene it. 
\verseNumber{17}The Lord hath done that which he had purposed: he hath fulfilled his worde that he had determined of old time: he hath throwen downe, and not spared: hee hath caused thine enemie to reioyce ouer thee, and set vp the horne of thine aduersaries. 
\verseNumber{18}Their heart cryed vnto the Lord, O wall of the daughter Zion, let teares runne downe like a riuer, day and night: take thee no rest, neither let the apple of thine eye cease. 
\verseNumber{19}Arise, cry in the night: in the beginning of the watches powre out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift vp thine handes towarde him for the life of thy yong children, that faint for hunger in the corners of all the streetes. 
\verseNumber{20}Beholde, O Lord, and consider to whome thou hast done thus: shall the women eate their fruite, and children of a spanne long? shall the Priest and the Prophet be slaine in the Sanctuarie of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{21}The yong and the olde lie on the ground in the streetes: my virgins and my yong men are fallen by the sworde: thou hast slaine them in the day of thy wrath: thou hast killed and not spared. 
\verseNumber{22}Thou hast called as in a solemne daye my terrours rounde about, so that in the day of the Lordes wrath none escaped nor remained: those that I haue nourished and brought vp, hath mine enemie consumed.

\chapterNumber{3}I am the man, that hath seene affliction in the rod of his indignation. 
\verseNumber{2}He hath ledde mee, and brought me into darkenes, but not to light. 
\verseNumber{3}Surely he is turned against me: he turneth his hand against me all the day. 
\verseNumber{4}My flesh and my skinne hath he caused to waxe olde, and he hath broken my bones. 
\verseNumber{5}He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall, and labour. 
\verseNumber{6}He hath set me in darke places, as they that be dead for euer. 
\verseNumber{7}He hath hedged about mee, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chaines heauy. 
\verseNumber{8}Also when I cry and showte, hee shutteth out my prayer. 
\verseNumber{9}He hath stopped vp my wayes with hewen stone, and turned away my paths. 
\verseNumber{10}He was vnto me as a beare lying in waite, and as a Lion in secret places. 
\verseNumber{11}He hath stopped my wayes, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. 
\verseNumber{12}He hath bent his bow and made me a marke for the arrow. 
\verseNumber{13}Hee caused the arrowes of his quiuer to enter into my reines. 
\verseNumber{14}I was a derision to all my people, and their song all the day. 
\verseNumber{15}He hath filled me with bitternes, and made me drunken with wormewood. 
\verseNumber{16}He hath also broken my teeth with stones, and hath couered me with ashes. 
\verseNumber{17}Thus my soule was farre off from peace: I forgate prosperitie, 
\verseNumber{18}And I saide, My strength and mine hope is perished from the Lord, 
\verseNumber{19}Remembring mine affliction, and my mourning, the wormewood and the gall. 
\verseNumber{20}My soule hath them in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 
\verseNumber{21}I consider this in mine heart: therefore haue I hope. 
\verseNumber{22}It is the Lordes mercies that wee are not consumed, because his compassions faile not. 
\verseNumber{23}They are renued euery morning: great is thy faithfulnesse. 
\verseNumber{24}The Lord is my portion, sayth my soule: therefore wil I hope in him. 
\verseNumber{25}The Lord is good vnto them, that trust in him, and to the soule that seeketh him. 
\verseNumber{26}It is good both to trust, and to waite for the saluation of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}It is good for a man that he beare the yoke in his youth. 
\verseNumber{28}He sitteth alone, and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it vpon him. 
\verseNumber{29}He putteth his mouth in the dust, if there may be hope. 
\verseNumber{30}Hee giueth his cheeke to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproches. 
\verseNumber{31}For the Lord will not forsake for euer. 
\verseNumber{32}But though he sende affliction, yet will he haue compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 
\verseNumber{33}For he doeth not punish willingly, nor afflict the children of men, 
\verseNumber{34}In stamping vnder his feete all the prisoners of the earth, 
\verseNumber{35}In ouerthrowing the right of a man before the face of the most high, 
\verseNumber{36}In subuerting a man in his cause: the Lord seeth it not.

\chapterNumber{1}It came to passe in the thirtieth yere in the fourth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth (as I was among the captiues by the riuer Chebar) that the heauens were opened and I sawe visions of GOD. 
\verseNumber{2}In the fift day of the moneth (which was the fift yere of King Ioiachins captiuitie) 
\verseNumber{3}The word of the Lord came vnto Ezekiel the Priest, the sonne of Buzi, in the lande of the Caldeans, by the riuer Chebar, where the hande of the Lord was vpon him. 
\verseNumber{4}And I looked, and beholde, a whirlewinde came out of the North, a great cloude and a fire wrapped about it, and a brightnesse was about it, and in the middes thereof, to wit, in the middes of the fire came out as the likenesse of amber. 
\verseNumber{5}Also out of the middes therof came the likenesse of foure beastes, and this was their forme: they had the appearance of a man. 
\verseNumber{6}And euery one had foure faces, and euery one had foure wings. 
\verseNumber{7}And their feete were streight feete, and the sole of their feete was like the sole of a calues foote, and they sparkled like the appearance of bright brasse. 
\verseNumber{8}And the handes of a man came out from vnder their wings in the foure parts of them, and they foure had their faces, and their wings. 
\verseNumber{9}They where ioyned by their wings one to another, and when they went forth, they returned not, but euery one went streight forward. 
\verseNumber{10}And the similitude of their faces was as the face of a man: and they foure had the face of a lyon on the right side, and they foure had the face of a bullocke on the left side: they foure also had the face of an eagle. 
\verseNumber{11}Thus were their faces: but their wings were spred out aboue: two wings of euery one were ioined one to another, and two couered their bodies. 
\verseNumber{12}And euery one went streight forward: they went whither their spirit led them, and they returned not when they went forth. 
\verseNumber{13}The similitude also of the beasts, and their appearance was like burning coles of fire, and like the appearance of lampes: for the fire ran among the beastes, and the fire gaue a glister, and out of the fire there went lightning. 
\verseNumber{14}And the beastes ranne, and returned like vnto lightning. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe as I behelde the beastes, beholde, a wheele appeared vpon the earth by the beastes, hauing foure faces. 
\verseNumber{16}The facion of the wheeles and their worke was like vnto a chrysolite: and they foure had one forme, and their facion, and their worke was as one wheele in another wheele. 
\verseNumber{17}Whe they went, they went vpon their foure sides, and they returned not when they went. 
\verseNumber{18}They had also rings, and height, and were fearefull to beholde, and their rings were full of eyes, round about them foure. 
\verseNumber{19}And when the beastes went, the wheeles went with them: and when the beasts were lift vp from the earth, the wheeles were lift vp. 
\verseNumber{20}Whither the spirit led them, they went, and thither did the spirite of the wheeles leade them, and the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirit of the beastes was in the wheeles. 
\verseNumber{21}When the beastes went, they went, and when they stoode, they stoode, and when they were lifted vp from the earth, the wheeles were lifted vp besides them: for the spirite of the beastes was in the wheeles. 
\verseNumber{22}And the similitude of the firmament vpon the heads of the beasts was wonderfull, like vnto chrystall, spred ouer their heads aboue. 
\verseNumber{23}And vnder the firmament were their wings streight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which couered the, and euery one had two, which couered their bodies. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they went foorth, I heard the noyse of their wings, like the noyse of great waters, and as the voyce of the Almightie, euen the voyce of speach, as the noyse of an host: and when they stood, they let downe their wings. 
\verseNumber{25}And there was a voyce from the firmament, that was ouer their heads, when they stoode, and had let downe their wings. 
\verseNumber{26}And aboue the firmament that was ouer their heads, was the facion of a throne like vnto a saphir stone, and vpon the similitude of the throne was by appearance, as the similitude of a man aboue vpon it. 
\verseNumber{27}And I sawe as the appearance of amber, and as the similitude of fire round about within it to looke to, euen from his loynes vpwarde: and to looke to, euen from his loynes downewarde, I sawe as a likenesse of fire, and brightnesse round about it. 
\verseNumber{28}As the likenesse of the bowe, that is in the cloude in the day of raine, so was the appearance of the light round about. 
\verseNumber{29}This was the appearance of the similitude of the glorie of the Lord: and when I sawe it, I fell vpon my face, and I heard a voyce of one that spake.

\chapterNumber{2}And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me. 
\verseNumber{3}And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day. 
\verseNumber{4}For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{5}But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them. 
\verseNumber{6}And thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious. 
\verseNumber{8}But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee. 
\verseNumber{9}And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein. 
\verseNumber{10}And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Moreover he saide vnto me, Sonne of man, eate that thou findest: eate this roule, and goe, and speake vnto the house of Israel. 
\verseNumber{2}So I opened my mouth, and he gaue mee this roule to eate. 
\verseNumber{3}And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eate, and fill thy bowels with this roule that I giue thee. Then did I eate it, and it was in my mouth as sweete as honie. 
\verseNumber{4}And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, goe, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my wordes. 
\verseNumber{5}For thou art not sent to a people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel, 
\verseNumber{6}Not to many people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an harde language, whose wordes thou canst not vnderstand: yet if I should sende thee to them, they would obey thee. 
\verseNumber{7}But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiffe hearted. 
\verseNumber{8}Beholde, I haue made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead harde against their foreheads. 
\verseNumber{9}I haue made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder then the flint: feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their lookes: for they are a rebellious house. 
\verseNumber{10}He said moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, receiue in thine heart al my words that I speake vnto thee, and heare them with thine eares, 
\verseNumber{11}And goe and enter to them that are led away captiues vnto the children of thy people, and speake vnto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the spirite tooke me vp, and I heard behinde me a noise of a great russhing, saying, Blessed be ye glorie of the Lord out of his place. 
\verseNumber{13}I heard also the noyse of the wings of the beasts, that touched one another, and the ratling of the wheeles that were by them, euen a noyse of a great russhing. 
\verseNumber{14}So the spirit lift me vp, and tooke me away and I went in bitternesse, and indignation of my spirite, but the hand of the Lord was strong vpon me. 
\verseNumber{15}Then I came to them that were led away captiues to Tel-abib, that dwelt by the riuer Chebar, and I sate where they sate, and remained there astonished among them seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{16}And at the ende of seuen dayes, the worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{17}Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore heare the worde at my mouth, and giue them warning from me. 
\verseNumber{18}When I shall say vnto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou giuest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may liue, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hande. 
\verseNumber{19}Yet if thou warne the wicked, and he turne not from his wickednesse, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule. 
\verseNumber{20}Likewise if a righteous man turne from his righteousnesse, and commit iniquitie, I will lay a stumbling blocke before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not giuen him warning: he shall die in his sinne, and his righteous deedes, which he hath done, shall not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand. 
\verseNumber{21}Neuerthelesse, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sinne not, and that he doeth not sinne, he shall liue because he is admonished: also thou hast deliuered thy soule. 
\verseNumber{22}And the hande of the Lord was there vpon me, and he said vnto me, Arise, and goe into the fielde, and I will there talke with thee. 
\verseNumber{23}So when I had risen vp, and gone foorth into the fielde, beholde, the glorie of the Lord stoode there, as the glorie which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and I fell downe vpon my face. 
\verseNumber{24}Then the Spirit entred into me, which set me vp vpon my feete, and spake vnto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thy selfe within thine house. 
\verseNumber{25}But thou, O sonne of man, beholde, they shall put bandes vpon thee, and shall binde thee with them, and thou shalt not goe out among them. 
\verseNumber{26}And I will make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dume, and shalt not be to them as a man that rebuketh: for they are a rebellious house. 
\verseNumber{27}But when I shall haue spoken vnto thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that leaueth off, let him leaue: for they are a rebellious house.

\verseNumber{2}And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}Sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idoles in their heart, and put the stumbling blocke of their iniquitie before their face: should I, being required, answere them? 
\verseNumber{4}Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the Prophet, I the Lord will answere him that commeth, according to the multitude of his idoles: 
\verseNumber{5}That I may take the house of Israel in their owne heart, because they are all departed from me through their idoles. 
\verseNumber{6}Therfore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Returne, and withdraw your selues, and turne your faces from your idoles, and turne your faces from all your abominations. 
\verseNumber{7}For euery one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that soiourneth in Israel, which departeth from mee, and setteth vp his idoles in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to a Prophet, for to inquire of him for me, I the Lord will answere him for my selfe, 
\verseNumber{8}And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example and prouerbe, and I will cut him off from the middes of my people, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}And if the Prophet be deceiued, when hee hath spoken a thing, I the Lord haue deceiued that Prophet, and I will stretch out mine hande vpon him, and will destroy him from the middes of my people of Israel. 
\verseNumber{10}And they shall beare their punishment: the punishment of the Prophet shall bee euen as the punishment of him that asketh, 
\verseNumber{11}That the house of Israel may go no more astray from mee, neither bee polluted any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, sayth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{12}The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{13}Sonne of man, when ye land sinneth against me by committing a trespasse, then will I stretch out mine hand vpon it, and will breake the staffe of the bread thereof, and will send famine vpon it, and I will destroy man and beast forth of it. 
\verseNumber{14}Though these three men Noah, Daniel, and Iob were among them, they shoulde deliuer but their owne soules by their righteousnes, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{15}If I bring noysome beastes into the lande and they spoyle it, so that it bee desolate, that no man may passe through, because of beastes, 
\verseNumber{16}Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall saue neither sonnes nor daughters: they onely shalbe deliuered, but the land shall be waste. 
\verseNumber{17}Or if I bring a sworde vpon this land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I destroy man and beast out of it, 
\verseNumber{18}Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonnes nor daughters, but they onely shall be deliuered themselues. 
\verseNumber{19}Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and powre out my wrath vpon it in blood, to destroy out of it man and beast, 
\verseNumber{20}And though Noah, Daniel and Iob were in the middes of it, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonne nor daughter: they shall but deliuer their owne soules by their righteousnes. 
\verseNumber{21}For thus saith the Lord God, Howe much more when I sende my foure sore iudgements vpon Ierusalem, euen the sworde, and famine, and the noysome beast and pestilence, to destroy man and beast out of it? 
\verseNumber{22}Yet beholde, therein shalbe left a remnant of them that shalbe caryed away both sonnes and daughters: behold, they shall come forth vnto you, and ye shall see their way, and their enterprises: and ye shall be comforted, concerning the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, euen concerning al that I haue brought vpon it. 
\verseNumber{23}And they shall comfort you, when yee see their way and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I haue not done without cause all that I haue done in it, saith the Lord God.

\chapterNumber{15}And thee word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, what commeth of the vine tree aboue all other trees? and of the vine braunch, which is among the trees of ye forest? 
\verseNumber{3}Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke? or wil men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon? 
\verseNumber{4}Behold, it is cast in the fire to be consumed: the fire consumeth both the endes of it, and the middes of it is burnt. Is it meete for any worke? 
\verseNumber{5}Behold, when it was whole, it was meete for no worke: how much lesse shall it bee meete for any worke, when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burnt? 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore thus sayth the Lord God, As the vine tree, that is among the trees of the forest, which I haue giuen to the fire to be consumed, so will I giue the inhabitants of Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{7}And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall consume them: and ye shall know, that I am the Lord, when I set my face against them,

\chapterNumber{16}Again, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, cause Ierusalem to knowe her abominations, 
\verseNumber{3}And say, Thus saith the Lord God vnto Ierusalem, Thine habitation and thy kindred is of the land of Canaan: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. 
\verseNumber{4}And in thy natiuitie whe thou wast borne, thy nauell was not cut: thou wast not washed in water to soften thee: thou wast not salted with salt, nor swadled in cloutes. 
\verseNumber{5}None eye pitied thee to do any of these vnto thee, for to haue compassion vpon thee, but thou wast cast out in the open fielde to the contempt of thy person in ye day that thou wast borne. 
\verseNumber{6}And when I passed by thee, I saw thee polluted in thine owne blood, and I said vnto thee, whe thou wast in thy blood, Thou shalt liue: euen when thou wast in thy blood, I saide vnto thee, Thou shalt liue. 
\verseNumber{7}I haue caused thee to multiplie as the bud of the fielde, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou hast gotten excellent ornaments: thy breastes are facioned, thine heare is growen, where as thou wast naked and bare. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe when I passed by thee, and looked vpon thee, beholde, thy time was as the time of loue, and I spred my skirtes ouer thee, and couered thy filthines: yea, I sware vnto thee, and entred into a couenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. 
\verseNumber{9}Then washed I thee with water: yea, I washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oyle. 
\verseNumber{10}I clothed thee also with broydred worke, and shod thee with badgers skin: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I couered thee with silke. 
\verseNumber{11}I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets vpon thine handes, and a chaine on thy necke. 
\verseNumber{12}And I put a frontlet vpon thy face, and earings in thine eares, and a beautifull crowne vpon thine head. 
\verseNumber{13}Thus wast thou deckt with gold and siluer, and thy rayment was of fine linen, and silke, and broydred worke: thou didest eate fine floure, and honie and oyle, and thou wast very beautifull, and thou didest grow vp into a kingdome. 
\verseNumber{14}And thy name was spred among the heathen for thy beautie: for it was perfite through my beautie which I had set vpon thee, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe thou didest trust in thine owne beautie, and playedst the harlot, because of thy renowne, and hast powred out thy fornications on euery one that passed by, thy desire was to him. 
\verseNumber{16}And thou didest take thy garments, and deckedst thine hie places with diuers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like thinges shall not come, neither hath any done so. 
\verseNumber{17}Thou hast also taken thy faire iewels made of my golde and of my siluer, which I had giuen thee, and madest to thy selfe images of men, and didest commit whoredome with them, 
\verseNumber{18}And tookest thy broydred garments, and coueredst them: and thou hast set mine oyle and my perfume before them. 
\verseNumber{19}My meate also, which I gaue thee, as fine floure, oyle, and honie, wherewith I fedde thee, thou hast euen set it before them for a sweete sauour: thus it was, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{20}Moreouer thou hast taken thy sonnes and thy daughters, whome thou hast borne vnto me, and these hast thou sacrificed vnto them, to be deuoured: is this thy whoredome a small matter? 
\verseNumber{21}That thou hast slaine my children, and deliuered them to cause them to passe through fire for them? 
\verseNumber{22}And in all thine abominations and whoredomes thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. 
\verseNumber{23}And beside all thy wickednes (wo, wo vnto thee, saith the Lord God) 
\verseNumber{24}Thou hast also built vnto thee an hie place, and hast made thee an hie place in euery streete. 
\verseNumber{25}Thou hast built thine hie place at euery corner of the way, and hast made thy beautie to be abhorred: thou hast opened thy feete to euery one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredome. 
\verseNumber{26}Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, which haue great members, and hast encreased thy whoredome, to prouoke me. 
\verseNumber{27}Beholde, therefore I did stretche out mine hand ouer thee, and will diminish thine ordinarie, and deliuer thee vnto the will of them that hate thee, euen to the daughters of the Philistims, which are ashamed of thy wicked way. 
\verseNumber{28}Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast insaciable: yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. 
\verseNumber{29}Thou hast moreouer multiplied thy fornication from the land of Canaan vnto Caldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 
\verseNumber{30}Howe weake is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these thinges, euen the worke of a presumptuous whorish woman? 
\verseNumber{31}In that thou buildest thine hie place in the corner of euery way, and makest thine hie place in euery streete, and hast not bene as an harlot that despiseth a reward, 
\verseNumber{32}But as a wife that playeth the harlot, and taketh others for her husband: 
\verseNumber{33}They giue giftes to all other whores, but thou giuest giftes vnto all thy louers, and rewardest them, that they may come vnto thee on euery side for thy fornication. 
\verseNumber{34}And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy fornications, neither the like fornication shall be after thee: for in that thou giuest a rewarde, and no reward is giuen vnto thee, therefore thou art contrary. 
\verseNumber{35}Wherefore, O harlot, heare the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{36}Thus sayeth the Lord God, Because thy shame was powred out, and thy filthinesse discouered through thy fornications with thy louers, and with all the idoles of thine abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didest offer vnto them, 
\verseNumber{37}Beholde, therefore I wil gather all thy louers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loued, with al them that thou hast hated: I will euen gather them round about against thee, and will discouer thy filthines vnto them, that they may see all thy filthines. 
\verseNumber{38}And I wil iudge thee after ye maner of them that are harlots, and of them that shead blood, and I wil giue thee the blood of wrath and ielousie. 
\verseNumber{39}I will also giue thee into their handes, and they shall destroy thine hie place, and shall breake downe thine hie places. they shall strippe thee also out of thy clothes, and shall take thy faire iewels, and leaue thee naked and bare. 
\verseNumber{40}They shall also bring vp a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swordes. 
\verseNumber{41}And they shall burne vp thine houses with fire, and execute iudgements vpon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt giue no reward any more. 
\verseNumber{42}So will I make my wrath towarde thee to rest, and my ielousie shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be no more angrie. 
\verseNumber{43}Because thou hast not remembred the dayes of thy youth, but hast prouoked me with all these things, behold, therefore I also haue brought thy way vpon thine head, sayeth the Lord God: yet hast not thou had consideration of all thine abominations. 
\verseNumber{44}Beholde, all that vse prouerbes, shall vse this prouerbe against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 
\verseNumber{45}Thou art thy mothers daughter, that hath cast off her husband and her children, and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which forsooke their husbands and their children: your mother is an Hittite, and your father an Amorite. 
\verseNumber{46}And thine elder sister is Samaria, and her daughters, that dwell at thy left hand, and thy yong sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom, and her daughters. 
\verseNumber{47}Yet hast thou not walked after their wayes, nor done after their abominations: but as it had bene a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more then they in all thy wayes. 
\verseNumber{48}As I liue, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, neither shee nor her daughters, as thou hast done and thy daughters. 
\verseNumber{49}Beholde, this was the iniquitie of thy sister Sodom, Pride, fulnesse of bread, and aboundance of idlenesse was in her, and in her daughters: neither did shee strengthen the hande of the poore and needie. 
\verseNumber{50}But they were hautie, and committed abomination before mee: therefore I tooke them away, as pleased me. 
\verseNumber{51}Neither hath Samaria committed halfe of thy sinnes, but thou hast exceeded them in thine abominations, and hast iustified thy sisters in all thine abominations, which thou hast done. 
\verseNumber{52}Therefore thou which hast iustified thy sisters, beare thine owne shame for thy sinnes, that thou hast committed more abominable then they which are more righteous then thou art: be thou therefore confounded also, and beare thy shame, seeing that thou hast iustified thy sisters. 
\verseNumber{53}Therefore I will bring againe their captiuitie with the captiuitie of Sodom, and her daughters, and with the captiuitie of Samaria, and her daughters: euen the captiuitie of thy captiues in the middes of them, 
\verseNumber{54}That thou mayest beare thine owne shame, and mayest bee confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou hast comforted them. 
\verseNumber{55}And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall returne to their former state: Samaria also and her daughters shall returne to their former state, when thou and thy daughters shall returne to your former state. 
\verseNumber{56}For thy sister Sodom was not heard of by thy report in the day of thy pride, 
\verseNumber{57}Before thy wickednes was discouered, as in that same time of the reproch of the daughters of Aram, and of all the daughters of the Philistims round about her which despise thee on all sides. 
\verseNumber{58}Thou hast borne therefore thy wickednesse and thine abomination, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{59}For thus saith the Lord God, I might euen deale with thee, as thou hast done: when thou didest despise the othe, in breaking the couenant. 
\verseNumber{60}Neuerthelesse, I wil remember my couenant made with thee in ye dayes of thy youth, and I wil confirme vnto thee an euerlasting couenant. 
\verseNumber{61}Then thou shalt remember thy wayes, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receiue thy sisters, both thy elder and thy yonger, and I will giue them vnto thee for daughters, but not by thy couenat. 
\verseNumber{62}And I wil establish my couenant with thee, and thou shalt knowe that I am the Lord, 
\verseNumber{63}That thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and neuer open thy mouth any more: because of thy shame when I am pacified toward thee, for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.

\chapterNumber{17}And the worde of the Lord came vnto mee, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, put foorth a parable and speake a prouerbe vnto the house of Israel, 
\verseNumber{3}And say, Thus saith the Lord God, The great eagle with great wings, and long wings, and ful of fethers, which had diuers colours, came vnto Lebanon, and tooke the highest branch of the cedar, 
\verseNumber{4}And brake off the toppe of his twigge, and caried it into the land of marchants, and set it in a citie of marchants. 
\verseNumber{5}Hee tooke also of the seede of the lande, and planted it in a fruitfull ground: hee placed it by great waters, and set it as a willowe tree. 
\verseNumber{6}And it budded vp, and was like a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward it, and the rootes thereof were vnder it: so it became a vine, and it brought foorth branches, and shot foorth buds. 
\verseNumber{7}There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers, and beholde, this vine did turne her rootes toward it, and spred foorth her branches toward it, that she might water it by the trenches of her plantation. 
\verseNumber{8}It was planted in a good soyle by great waters, that it should bring forth branches, and beare fruite, and be an excellent vine. 
\verseNumber{9}Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, Shall it prosper? shall he not pull vp the rootes thereof, and destroy the fruite thereof, and cause them to drie? all the leaues of her bud shall wither without great power, or many people, to plucke it vp by the rootes thereof. 
\verseNumber{10}Beholde, it was planted: but shall it prosper? shall it not be dried vp, and wither? when the East winde shall touch it, it shall wither in the trenches, where it grewe. 
\verseNumber{11}Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{12}Say now to this rebellious house, Know ye not, what these things meane? tell them, Behold, the King of Babel is come to Ierusalem, and hath taken the King thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babel, 
\verseNumber{13}And hath taken one of the Kings seede, and made a couenant with him, and hath taken an othe of him: he hath also taken the princes of the land, 
\verseNumber{14}That the kingdome might be in subiection, and not lift it selfe vp, but keepe their couenant, and stand to it. 
\verseNumber{15}But he rebelled against him, and sent his ambassadours into Egypt, that they might giue him horses, and much people: shall hee prosper? shall he escape, that doeth such things? or shall he breake the couenant, and be deliuered? 
\verseNumber{16}As I liue, saith the Lord God, he shall die in the middes of Babel, in the place of the King, that had made him King, whose othe he despised, and whose couenant made with him, he brake. 
\verseNumber{17}Neither shall Pharaoh with his mightie hoste, and great multitude of people, mainteine him in the warre, when they haue cast vp mounts, and builded ramparts to destroy many persons. 
\verseNumber{18}For he hath despised the othe, and broken ye couenant (yet lo, he had giuen his hand) because he hath done all these things, he shall not escape. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, As I liue, I wil surely bring mine othe that he hath despised, and my couenant that he hath broken vpon his owne head. 
\verseNumber{20}And I wil spread my net vpon him, and he shalbe taken in my net, and I wil bring him to Babel, and will enter into iudgement with him there for his trespas that he hath committed against me. 
\verseNumber{21}And all that flee from him with all his hoste, shall fall by the sword, and they that remaine, shalbe scattered towarde all the windes: and ye shall know that I the Lord haue spoken it.

\verseNumber{23}Euen in the hie mountaine of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughes and beare fruite, and be an excellent cedar, and vnder it shall remaine all birds, and euery foule shall dwell in the shadow of the branches thereof. 
\verseNumber{24}And all the trees of the fielde shall knowe that I the Lord haue brought downe the hie tree, and exalted the lowe tree, that I haue dried vp the greene tree, and made the drie tree to florish: I the Lord haue spoken it, and haue done it.

\verseNumber{6}And hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idoles of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath lyen with a menstruous woman, 
\verseNumber{7}Neither hath oppressed any, but hath restored the pledge to his dettour: he that hath spoyled none by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment, 
\verseNumber{8}And hath not giuen foorth vpon vsurie, neither hath taken any increase, but hath withdrawen his hand from iniquitie, and hath executed true iudgement betweene man and man, 
\verseNumber{9}And hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my iudgements to deale truely, he is iust, he shall surely liue, sayth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{10}If he beget a sonne, that is a thiefe, or a sheader of blood, if he do any one of these things, 
\verseNumber{11}Though he doe not all these things, but either hath eaten vpon the mountaines, or defiled his neighbours wife, 
\verseNumber{12}Or hath oppressed the poore and needy, or hath spoyled by violence, or hath not restored the pledge, or hath lift vp his eyes vnto the idoles, or hath committed abomination, 
\verseNumber{13}Or hath giuen forth vpon vsurie, or hath taken increase, shall he liue? he shall not liue: seeing he hath done all these abominations, he shall die the death, and his blood shall be vpon him. 
\verseNumber{14}But if he beget a sonne, that seeth all his fathers sinnes, which he hath done, and feareth, neither doeth such like, 
\verseNumber{15}That hath not eaten vpon the mountaines, neither hath lift vp his eyes to the idols of ye house of Israel, nor hath defiled his neighbours wife, 
\verseNumber{16}Neither hath oppressed any, nor hath withholden the pledge, neither hath spoyled by violence, but hath giuen his bread to the hungry, and hath couered the naked with a garment,

\verseNumber{21}But if the wicked will returne from all his sinnes that he hath committed, and keepe all my statutes, and doe that which is lawfull and right, he shall surely liue, and shall not die. 
\verseNumber{22}All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned vnto him, but in his righteousnes that he hath done, he shall liue. 
\verseNumber{23}Haue I any desire that the wicked should die, sayth the Lord God? or shall he not liue, if he returne from his wayes? 
\verseNumber{24}But if the righteous turne away from his righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, and doe according to all the abominations, that the wicked man doeth, shall he liue? all his righteousnes that he hath done, shall not be mentioned: but in his transgression that he hath committed, and in his sinne that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 
\verseNumber{25}Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equall: heare now, O house of Israel. Is not my way equall? or are not your wayes vnequall?

\verseNumber{4}Wilt thou iudge them, sonne of man? wilt thou iudge them? cause them to vnderstand the abominations of their fathers, 
\verseNumber{5}And say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when I chose Israel, and lift vp mine hand vnto the seede of the house of Iaakob, and made my selfe knowen vnto them in the land of Egypt, when I lift vp mine hand vnto them, and sayd, I am the Lord your God, 
\verseNumber{6}In the day that I lift vp mine hand vnto them to bring them forth of the land of Egypt, into a land that I had prouided for them, flowing with milke and hony which is pleasant among all lands, 
\verseNumber{7}Then sayd I vnto them, Let euery man cast away the abominations of his eyes, and defile not your selues with the idols of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{8}But they rebelled against me, and would not heare me: for none cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idoles of Egypt: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the mids of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{9}But I had respect to my Name, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whome they were, and in whose sight I made my selfe knowen vnto them in bringing them forth of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe I caried them out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{11}And I gaue them my statutes, and declared my iudgements vnto them, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them. 
\verseNumber{12}Moreouer I gaue them also my Sabbaths to be a signe betweene me and them, that they might knowe that I am the Lord, that sanctifie them. 
\verseNumber{13}But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wildernes: they walked not in my statutes, and they cast away my iudgements, which if a man doe, he shall liue in them, and my Sabbaths haue they greatly polluted: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them in the wildernes to consume them, 
\verseNumber{14}But I had respect to my Name, that it shoulde not bee polluted before the heathen in whose sight I brought them out. 
\verseNumber{15}Yet neuerthelesse, I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes that I would not bring them into the lande, which I had giuen them, flowing with milke and hony, which was pleasant aboue all landes, 
\verseNumber{16}Because they cast away my iudgments, and walked not in my statutes, but haue polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idoles. 
\verseNumber{17}Neuerthelesse, mine eye spared them, that I would not destroye them, neither would I consume them in the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{18}But I said vnto their children in the wildernes, Walke ye not in the ordinances of your fathers, neither obserue their maners, nor defile your selues with their idoles. 
\verseNumber{19}I am the Lord your God: walke in my statutes, and keepe my iudgements and doe them, 
\verseNumber{20}And sanctifie my Sabbaths, and they shall bee a signe betweene mee and you, that ye may knowe that I am the Lord your God. 
\verseNumber{21}Notwithstanding the children rebelled against mee: they walked not in my statutes, nor kept my iudgements to doe them, which if a man doe, hee shall liue in them, but they polluted my Sabbaths: then I thought to powre out mine indignation vpon them, and to accomplish my wrath against them in the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{22}Neuerthelesse I withdrew mine hand and had respect to my Name that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them foorth. 
\verseNumber{23}Yet I lift vp mine hande vnto them in the wildernes, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countreys, 
\verseNumber{24}Because they had not executed my iudgements, but had cast away my statutes and had polluted my Sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers idoles. 
\verseNumber{25}Wherefore I gaue them also statutes that were not good, and iudgements, wherein they should not liue. 
\verseNumber{26}And I polluted them in their owne giftes in that they caused to passe by the fire all that first openeth ye wombe, that I might destroy them, to the ende, that they might know that I am ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}Therefore, sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Yet in this your fathers haue blasphemed me, though they had before grieuously transgressed against me. 
\verseNumber{28}For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hand to giue it to them, then they saw euery hie hill, and all the thicke trees, and they offred there their sacrifices, and there they presented their offering of prouocation: there also they made their sweete sauour, and powred out there their drinke offerings. 
\verseNumber{29}Then I saide vnto them, What is the hie place whereunto ye goe? And the name thereof was called Bamah vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{30}Wherefore, say vnto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God, Are ye not polluted after the maner of your fathers? and commit ye not whoredome after their abominations? 
\verseNumber{31}For when you offer your giftes, and make your sonnes to passe through the fire, you pollute your selues with all your idoles vnto this day: shall I answere you when I am asked, O house of Israel? As I liue, saith the Lord God, I wil not answere you when I am asked. 
\verseNumber{32}Neither shall that be done that commeth into your minde: for ye say, We wil be as the heathen, and as the families of the countreys, and serue wood, and stone. 
\verseNumber{33}As I liue, saith the Lord God, I will surely rule you with a mightie hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out, 
\verseNumber{34}And will bring you from the people, and will gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arme, and in my wrath powred out, 
\verseNumber{35}And I will bring you into the wildernes of the people, and there wil I pleade with you face to face. 
\verseNumber{36}Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wildernes of the lande of Egypt, so will I pleade with you, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{37}And I wil cause you to passe vnder the rod, and wil bring you into the bond of the couenant. 
\verseNumber{38}And I wil chuse out from among you the rebels, and them that transgresse against mee: I will bring them out of the land where they dwel, and they shall not enter into the lande of Israel, and you shall knowe that I am the Lord. 
\verseNumber{39}As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God, Goe you, and serue euery one his idole, seeing that ye will not obey me, and pollute mine holy Name no more with your giftes and with your idoles. 
\verseNumber{40}For in mine holy mountaine, euen in the hie mountaine of Israel, saith the Lord God, there shall all the house of Israel, and all in the lande, serue me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offrings and the first fruites of your oblations, with all your holy things. 
\verseNumber{41}I will accept your sweete sauour, when I bring you from the people, and gather you out of the countreys, wherein ye haue bene scattered, that I may be sanctified in you before ye heathen. 
\verseNumber{42}And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the land, for the which I lifted vp mine hande to giue it to your fathers. 
\verseNumber{43}And there shall ye remember your wayes, and all your workes, wherein ye haue bene defiled, and ye shall iudge your selues worthy to be cut off, for all your euils, that ye haue committed. 
\verseNumber{44}And ye shall knowe, that I am the Lord, when I haue respect vnto you for my Names sake, and not after your wicked wayes, nor according to your corrupt workes, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{45}Moreouer, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{46}Sonne of man, set thy face toward the way of Teman, and drop thy word toward the South, and prophecie towarde the forest of the fielde of the South, 
\verseNumber{47}And say to the forest of the South, Heare the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall deuoure all the greene wood in thee, and all the drie wood: the continuall flame shall not bee quenched, and euery face from the South to the North shall be burnt therein. 
\verseNumber{48}And all flesh shall see, that I the Lord haue kindled it, and it shall not bee quenched. Then saide I, Ah Lord God, they say of me, Doeth not he speake parables?

\chapterNumber{21}The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie against the land of Israel. 
\verseNumber{3}And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both the righteous and the wicked. 
\verseNumber{4}Seeing then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North, 
\verseNumber{5}That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more. 
\verseNumber{6}Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them. 
\verseNumber{7}And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{8}Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{9}Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished. 
\verseNumber{10}It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees. 
\verseNumber{11}And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer. 
\verseNumber{12}Cry, and houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh. 
\verseNumber{13}For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{14}Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers. 
\verseNumber{15}I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter. 
\verseNumber{16}Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth. 
\verseNumber{17}I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it. 
\verseNumber{18}The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, saying, 
\verseNumber{19}Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie. 
\verseNumber{20}Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie. 
\verseNumber{21}And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer. 
\verseNumber{22}At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse. 
\verseNumber{23}And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand. 
\verseNumber{25}And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende, 
\verseNumber{26}Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie. 
\verseNumber{27}I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him. 
\verseNumber{28}And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering: 
\verseNumber{29}Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende. 
\verseNumber{30}Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation. 
\verseNumber{31}And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.

\chapterNumber{22}Moreover, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Now thou sonne of man, wilt thou iudge, wilt thou iudge this bloody citie? wilt thou shew her all her abominations? 
\verseNumber{3}Then say, Thus sayth the Lord God, The citie sheddeth blood in the middes of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against her selfe to pollute her selfe. 
\verseNumber{4}Thou hast offended in thy blood, that thou hast shed, and hast polluted thy selfe in thine idols, which thou hast made, and thou hast caused thy dayes to draw neere, and art come vnto thy terme: therefore haue I made thee a reproch to the heathen, and a mocking to all countreys. 
\verseNumber{5}Those that be neere, and those that be farre from thee, shall mocke thee, which art vile in name and sore in affliction. 
\verseNumber{6}Beholde, the princes of Israel euery one in thee was ready to his power, to shed blood. 
\verseNumber{7}In thee haue they despised father and mother: in the middes of thee haue they oppressed the stranger: in thee haue they vexed the fatherlesse and the widowe. 
\verseNumber{8}Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast polluted my Sabbaths. 
\verseNumber{9}In thee are men that cary tales to shed blood: in thee are they that eate vpon the mountaines: in ye mids of thee they comit abomination. 
\verseNumber{10}In thee haue they discouered their fathers shame: in thee haue they vexed her that was polluted in her floures. 
\verseNumber{11}And euery one hath committed abomination with his neighbours wife, and euery one hath wickedly defiled his daughter in lawe, and in thee hath euery man forced his owne sister, euen his fathers daughter. 
\verseNumber{12}In thee haue they taken giftes to shed blood: thou hast taken vsurie and the encrease, and thou hast defrauded thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{13}Beholde, therefore I haue smitten mine hands vpon thy couetousnesse, that thou hast vsed, and vpon the blood, which hath bene in the middes of thee.

\verseNumber{17}And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

\verseNumber{19}Therefore, thus sayth the Lord God, Because ye are all as drosse, beholde, therefore I will gather you in the middes of Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{20}As they gather siluer and brasse, and yron, and leade, and tinne into the middes of the fornace, to blowe the fire vpon it to melt it, so wil I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and wil put you there and melt you. 
\verseNumber{21}I wil gather you, I say, and blowe the fire of my wrath vpon you, and you shalbe melted in the mids thereof. 
\verseNumber{22}As siluer is melted in the mids of the fornace, so shall ye be melted in the mids thereof, and ye shall knowe, that I the Lord haue powred out my wrath vpon you. 
\verseNumber{23}And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{24}Sonne of man, say vnto her; Thou art the land, that is vncleane, and not rained vpon in the day of wrath. 
\verseNumber{25}There is a conspiracie of her prophets in the mids thereof like a roaring lyon, rauening the praye: they haue deuoured soules: they haue taken the riches and precious things: they haue made her many widowes in the mids thereof. 
\verseNumber{26}Her Priests haue broken my Lawe, and haue defiled mine holy things: they haue put no difference betweene the holy and prophane, neither discerned betweene the vncleane, and the cleane, and haue hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am prophaned among them. 
\verseNumber{27}Her princes in the mids thereof are like wolues, rauening the praye to shed blood, and to destroy soules for their owne couetous lucre. 
\verseNumber{28}And her prophets haue dawbed them with vntempered morter, seeing vanities, and diuining lies vnto them, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God, when the Lord had not spoken. 
\verseNumber{29}The people of the land haue violently oppressed by spoyling and robbing, and haue vexed the poore and the needy: yea, they haue oppressed the stranger against right. 
\verseNumber{30}And I sought for a man among them, that should make vp the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

\chapterNumber{23}The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. 
\verseNumber{3}And they committed fornication in Egypt, they committed fornication in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teates of their virginitie. 
\verseNumber{4}And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sonnes and daughters: thus were their names. Samaria is Aholah, and Ierusalem Aholibah. 
\verseNumber{5}And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine, and she was set on fire with her louers, to wit, with the Assyrians her neighbours, 
\verseNumber{6}Which were clothed with blewe silke, both captaines and princes: they were all pleasant yong men, and horsemen riding vpon horses. 
\verseNumber{7}Thus she committed her whoredome with them, euen with all them that were the chosen men of Asshur, and with all on whome she doted, and defiled her selfe with all their idoles. 
\verseNumber{8}Neither left she her fornications, learned of the Egyptians: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginitie, and powred their whoredome vpon her. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore I deliuered her into the hands of her louers, euen into the hands of the Assyrians, vpon whome she doted. 
\verseNumber{10}These discouered her shame: they tooke away her sonnes and her daughters, and slewe her with the sworde, and she had an euill name among women: for they had executed iudgement vpon her. 
\verseNumber{11}And when her sister Aholibah sawe this, she marred her selfe with inordinate loue, more then she, and with her fornications more then her sister with her fornications. 
\verseNumber{12}She doted vpon the Assyrians her neighbours, both captaines and princes clothed with diuers sutes, horsemen ryding vpon horses: they were all pleasant yong men. 
\verseNumber{13}Then I sawe that she was defiled, and that they were both after one sort, 
\verseNumber{14}And that she encreased her fornications: for when she sawe men painted vpon the wall, the images of the Caldeans painted with vermelon, 
\verseNumber{15}And girded with girdles vpon their loynes, and with dyed attyre vpon their heads (looking all like princes after the maner of the Babylonians in Caldea, the land of their natiuitie) 
\verseNumber{16}Assoone, I say, as she sawe them, she doted vpon them, and sent messengers vnto them into Caldea. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe when the Babylonians came to her into the bed of loue, they defiled her with their fornication, and she was polluted with them, and her lust departed from them. 
\verseNumber{18}So she discouered her fornication, and disclosed her shame: then mine heart forsooke her, like as mine heart had forsaken her sister. 
\verseNumber{19}Yet she encreased her whoredome more, and called to remembrance ye dayes of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{20}For she doted vpon their seruants whose members are as the members of asses, and whose yssue is like the yssue of horses. 
\verseNumber{21}Thou calledst to remembrance the wickednes of thy youth, when thy teates were bruised by ye Egyptians: therefore ye paps of thy youth are thus. 
\verseNumber{22}Therefore, O Aholibah, thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will raise vp thy louers against thee, from whome thine heart is departed, and I will bring them against thee on euery side, 
\verseNumber{23}To wit, the Babylonians, and all the Caldeans, Peked, and Shoah, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: they were all pleasant yong men, captaines and princes: all they were valiant and renoumed, riding vpon horses. 
\verseNumber{24}Euen these shall come against thee with charets, waggons, and wheeles, and with a multitude of people, which shall set against thee, buckler and shield, and helmet round about: and I will leaue the punishment vnto them, and they shall iudge thee according to their iudgements. 
\verseNumber{25}And I wil lay mine indignation vpon thee, and they shall deale cruelly with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine eares, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall cary away thy sonnes and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be deuoured by the fire. 
\verseNumber{26}They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fayre iewels. 
\verseNumber{27}Thus wil I make thy wickednes to cease from thee and thy fornication out of the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift vp thine eyes vnto them, nor remember Egypt any more. 
\verseNumber{28}For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I wil deliuer thee into the hand of them, whome thou hatest: euen into the hands of them from whome thine heart is departed. 
\verseNumber{29}And they shall handle thee despitefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leaue thee naked and bare, and the shame of thy fornications shalbe discouered, both thy wickednes, and thy whoredome. 
\verseNumber{30}I wil doe these things vnto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idoles. 
\verseNumber{31}Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister: therefore wil I giue her cup into thine hand. 
\verseNumber{32}Thus saith ye Lord God, Thou shalt drinke of thy sisters cup, deepe and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorne and had in derision, because it containeth much. 
\verseNumber{33}Thou shalt be filled with drunkennes and sorow, euen with the cup of destruction, and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 
\verseNumber{34}Thou shalt euen drinke it, and wring it out to the dregges, and thou shalt breake the sheards thereof, and teare thine owne breasts: for I haue spoken it, sayth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{35}Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behinde thy backe, therefore thou shalt also beare thy wickednes and thy whoredome. 
\verseNumber{36}The Lord sayd moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, wilt thou iudge Aholah and Aholibah? and wilt thou declare to them their abominations? 
\verseNumber{37}For they haue played the whores, and blood is in their hands, and with their idoles haue they committed adulterie, and haue also caused their sonnes, whome they bare vnto me, to passe by the fire to be their meate. 
\verseNumber{38}Moreouer, thus haue they done vnto me: they haue defiled my Sanctuarie in the same day, and haue prophaned my Sabbaths. 
\verseNumber{39}For when they had slaine their children to their idoles, they came the same day into my Sanctuarie to defile it: and loe, thus haue they done in the middes of mine house. 
\verseNumber{40}And howe much more is it that they sent for men to come from farre vnto whom a messenger was sent, and loe, they came? for whome thou diddest wash thy selfe, and paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thee with ornaments, 
\verseNumber{41}And satest vpon a costly bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oyle. 
\verseNumber{42}And a voyce of a multitude being at ease, was with her: and with the men to make the company great were brought men of Saba from the wildernes, which put bracelets vpon their hands, and beautifull crownes vpon their heads. 
\verseNumber{43}Then I sayd vnto her, that was olde in adulteries, Now shall she and her fornications come to an end. 
\verseNumber{44}And they went in vnto her as they goe to a common harlot: so went they to Aholah and Aholibah the wicked women. 
\verseNumber{45}And ye righteous men they shall iudge them, after the maner of harlots, and after the maner of murtherers: for they are harlots, and blood is in their hands. 
\verseNumber{46}Wherefore thus sayth the Lord God, I will bring a multitude vpon them, and will giue them vnto the tumult, and to the spoyle, 
\verseNumber{47}And the multitude shall stone them with stones, and cut them with their swordes: they shall slay their sonnes, and their daughters, and burne vp their houses with fire. 
\verseNumber{48}Thus will I cause wickednesse to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to doe after your wickednesse. 
\verseNumber{49}And they shall laye your wickednesse vpon you, and ye shall beare the sinnes of your idoles, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord God.

\chapterNumber{24}Again in the ninth yeere, in the tenth moneth, in the tenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying,

\verseNumber{5}Take one of the best sheepe, and burne also the bones vnder it, and make it boyle well, and seethe the bones of it therein,

\chapterNumber{31}And in the eleuenth yeere, in the third moneth, and in the first day of the moneth the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, speake vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, and to his multitude, Whom art thou like in thy greatnesse? 
\verseNumber{3}Beholde, Asshur was like a cedar in Lebanon with faire branches, and with thicke shadowing boughes, and shot vp very hye, and his toppe was among the thicke boughes. 
\verseNumber{4}The waters nourished him, and the deepe exalted him on hie with her riuers running round about his plants, and sent out her litle riuers vnto all the trees of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore his height was exalted aboue all the trees of the fielde, and his boughes were multiplied, and his branches were long, because of the multitude of the waters, which the deepe sent out. 
\verseNumber{6}All the foules of the heauen made their nestes in his boughes, and vnder his branches did all the beastes of the fielde bring foorth their yong, and vnder his shadowe dwelt all mightie nations. 
\verseNumber{7}Thus was he faire in his greatnesse, and in the length of his branches: for his roote was neere great waters. 
\verseNumber{8}The cedars in the garden of God coulde not hide him: no firre tree was like his branches, and the chessenut trees were not like his boughes: all the trees in the garden of God were not like vnto him in his beautie. 
\verseNumber{9}I made him faire by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, enuied him. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because he is lift vp on high, and hath shot vp his toppe among the thicke boughes, and his heart is lift vp in his height, 
\verseNumber{11}I haue therefore deliuered him into the handes of the mightiest among the heathen: he shall handle him, for I haue cast him away for his wickednesse. 
\verseNumber{12}And the strangers haue destroyed him, euen the terrible nations, and they haue left him vpon the mountaines, and in all the valleis his branches are fallen, and his boughes are broken by all the riuers of the land: and all the people of the earth are departed from his shadowe, and haue forsaken him. 
\verseNumber{13}Vpon his ruine shall all the foules of the heauen remaine, and all the beastes of the fielde shall be vpon his branches, 
\verseNumber{14}So that none of all the trees by the waters shalbe exalted by their height, neither shall shoote vp their toppe among the thicke boughes, neither shall their leaues stand vp in their height, which drinke so much water: for they are all deliuered vnto death in the nether partes of the earth in the middes of the children of men among them that goe downe to the pit. 
\verseNumber{15}Thus saith the Lord God, In the day when he went downe to hell, I caused them to mourne, and I couered the deepe for him, and I did restreine the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: I caused Lebanon to mourne for him, and all the trees of the fielde fainted. 
\verseNumber{16}I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him downe to hell with them that descend into the pit, and all the excellent trees of Eden, and the best of Lebanon: euen all that are nourished with waters, shall be comforted in the nether partes of the earth. 
\verseNumber{17}They also went downe to hell with him vnto them that be slaine with the sworde, and his arme, and they that dwelt vnder his shadowe in the middes of the heathen. 
\verseNumber{18}To whom art thou thus like in glorie and in greatnesse among the trees of Eden? yet thou shalt be cast downe with the trees of Eden vnto the nether partes of the earth: thou shalt sleepe in the middes of the vncircumcised, with them that be slaine by the sworde: this is Pharaoh and all his multitude, sayth the Lord God.

\chapterNumber{32}And in the twelfth yeere in the twelfth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth, the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, take vp a lamentation for Pharaoh King of Egypt, and say vnto him, Thou art like a lyon of the nations and art as a dragon in the sea: thou castedst out thy riuers and troubledst the waters with thy feete, and stampedst in their riuers. 
\verseNumber{3}Thus sayth the Lord God, I will therefore spread my net ouer thee with a great multitude of people, and they shall make thee come vp into my net. 
\verseNumber{4}Then will I leaue thee vpon the land, and I will cast thee vpon the open field, and I wil cause all the foules of the heauen to remaine vpon thee, and I will fill all the beastes of the field with thee. 
\verseNumber{5}And I will lay thy flesh vpon the mountaines, and fill the valleys with thine height. 
\verseNumber{6}I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, euen to ye mountaines, and the riuers shall be full of thee. 
\verseNumber{7}And when I shall put thee out, I will couer the heauen, and make the starres thereof darke: I will couer the sunne with a cloude, and the moone shall not giue her light. 
\verseNumber{8}All the lightes of heauen will I make darke for thee, and bring darkenesse vpon thy lande, sayeth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{9}I will also trouble the heartes of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations and vpon the countries which thou hast not knowen. 
\verseNumber{10}Yea, I will make many people amased at thee, and their Kings shalbe astonished with feare for thee, when I shall make my sworde to glitter against their faces, and they shall be afraide at euery moment: euery man for his owne life in the day of thy fall. 
\verseNumber{11}For thus sayth the Lord God, The sworde of the King of Babel shall come vpon thee. 
\verseNumber{12}By the swordes of the mightie will I cause thy multitude to fall: they all shall be terrible nations, and they shall destroy the pompe of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shalbe consumed. 
\verseNumber{13}I will destroy also all the beastes thereof from the great watersides, neither shall the foote of man trouble them any more, nor the hooues of beast trouble them. 
\verseNumber{14}Then will I make their waters deepe, and cause their riuers to runne like oyle, sayeth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{15}When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the countrey with all that is therein, shall be laid waste: when I shall smite all them which dwell therein, then shall they know that I am ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{16}This is the mourning wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for Egypt, and for all her multitude, sayeth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{17}In the twelfth yeere also in the fifteenth day of the moneth, came the worde of the Lord vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Sonne of man, lament for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them downe, euen them and the daughters of the mighty nations vnto the nether partes of the earth, with them that goe downe into the pit. 
\verseNumber{19}Whome doest thou passe in beautie? goe downe and sleepe with the vncircumcised. 
\verseNumber{20}They shall fall in the middes of them that are slaine by the sword: shee is deliuered to the sword: draw her downe, and all her multitude.

\verseNumber{23}Whose graues are made in the side of the pit, and his multitude are rounde about his graue: all they are slaine and fallen by the sworde, which caused feare to be in the land of the liuing. 
\verseNumber{24}There is Elam and all his multitude round about his graue: al they are slaine and fallen by the sword which are gone downe with the vncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused themselues to be feared in the land of the liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that are gone downe to the pit. 
\verseNumber{25}They haue made his bed in the mids of the slaine with al his multitude: their graues are round about him: all these vncircucised are slaine by the sworde: though they haue caused their feare in the land of ye liuing, yet haue they borne their shame with them that goe downe to the pitte: they are laide in the middes of them, that be slaine. 
\verseNumber{26}There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitude, their graues are round about them: al these vncircumcised were slaine by the sworde, though they caused their feare to be in ye land of the liuing. 
\verseNumber{27}And they shall not lie with the valiant of the vncircumcised, that are fallen, which are gone down to the graue, with their weapons of warre, and haue laied their swords vnder their heads, but their iniquitie shalbe vpon their bones: because they were the feare of the mighty in the lande of the liuing. 
\verseNumber{28}Yea, thou shalt be broken in the middes of the vncircumcised, and lie with them that are slaine by the sworde. 
\verseNumber{29}There is Edom, his Kings, and all his princes, which with their strength are laied by them that were slaine by the sworde: they shall sleepe with the vncircumcised, and with them that goe downe to the pit. 
\verseNumber{30}There be al the princes of the North, with al the Zidonians, which are gone downe with the slaine, with their feare: they are ashamed of their strength, and the vncircumcised sleepe with them that be slaine by the sword, and beare their shame with them that goe downe to the pit. 
\verseNumber{31}Pharaoh shall see them, and hee shall be comforted ouer all his multitude: Pharaoh, and all his armie shall be slaine by the sword, saieth the Lord God.

\chapterNumber{33}Again, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, speake to the children of thy people, and say vnto them, When I bring the sworde vpon a lande, if the people of the lande take a man from among them, and make him their watchman, 
\verseNumber{3}If when hee seeth the sworde come vpon ye land, he blow the trumpet, and warne the people, 
\verseNumber{4}Then hee that heareth the sounde of the trumpet, and will not bee warned, if the sworde come, and take him away, his blood shall be vpon his owne head. 
\verseNumber{5}For he heard the sound of the trumpet, and woulde not bee admonished: therefore his blood shall be vpon him: but he that receiueth warning, shall saue his life. 
\verseNumber{6}But if the watchman see the sworde come, and blowe not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sworde come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at the watchmans hande. 
\verseNumber{7}So thou, O sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt heare the woorde at my mouth, and admonish them from me. 
\verseNumber{8}When I shall say vnto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt die the death, if thou doest not speake, and admonish the wicked of his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at thine hand. 
\verseNumber{9}Neuerthelesse, If thou warne the wicked of his way, to turne from it, if he doe not turne from his way, he shall die for his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore, O thou sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus yee speake and say, If our transgressions and our sinnes bee vpon vs, and we are consumed because of them, howe should we then liue? 
\verseNumber{11}Say vnto them, As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turne from his way and liue: turne you, turne you from your euill waies, for why will ye die, O ye house of Israel? 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore thou sonne of man, saye vnto the children of thy people, The righteousnesse of the righteous shall not deliuer him in the day of his transgression, nor the wickednesse of the wicked shall cause him to fall therein, in the day that he returneth from his wickednesse, neither shall the righteous liue for his righteousnesse in the day that he sinneth. 
\verseNumber{13}When I shall say vnto the righteous, that he shall surely liue, if he trust to his owne righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, all his righteousnes shall be no more remembred, but for his iniquitie that he hath committed, he shall die for the same. 
\verseNumber{14}Againe when I shall say vnto the wicked, thou shalt die the death, if he turne from his sinne, and doe that which is lawfull and right, 
\verseNumber{15}To wit, if the wicked restore the pledge, and giue againe that he had robbed, and walke in the statutes of life, without committing iniquitie, he shall surely liue, and not die. 
\verseNumber{16}None of his sinnes that he hath comitted, shall be mentioned vnto him: because he hath done that, which is lawful, and right, he shall surely liue. 
\verseNumber{17}Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equall: but their owne way is vnequall. 
\verseNumber{18}When the righteous turneth from his righteousnesse, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die thereby. 
\verseNumber{19}But if the wicked returne from his wickednesse, and doe that which is lawfull and right, hee shall liue thereby. 
\verseNumber{20}Yet yee say, The way of the Lord is not equall. O ye house of Israel, I will iudge you euery one after his waies. 
\verseNumber{21}Also in the twelfth yere of our captiuitie, in the tenth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, one that had escaped out of Ierusalem, came vnto me, and said, The citie is smitten. 
\verseNumber{22}Now the hand of the Lord had bene vpon me in ye euening afore hee that had escaped, came, and had opened my mouth vntill he came to me in the morning: and when hee had opened my mouth, I was no more dumme. 
\verseNumber{23}Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, and saide, 
\verseNumber{24}Sonne of man, these that dwel in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talke and say, Abraham was but one, and hee possessed the lande: but we are many, therefore the lande shall be giuen vs in possession. 
\verseNumber{25}Wherefore say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, Ye eate with the blood, and lift vp your eyes towarde your idoles, and sheade blood: should ye then possesse the land? 
\verseNumber{26}Ye leane vpon your swordes: ye worke abomination, and yee defile euery one his neighbours wife: should ye then possesse the land? 
\verseNumber{27}Say thus vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, As I liue, so surely they that are in the desolate places, shall fall by the sword: and him that is in the open field, will I giue vnto the beasts to be deuoured: and they that be in the forts and in the caues, shall die of the pestilence. 
\verseNumber{28}For I will lay the land desolate and waste, and the pompe of her strength shall cease: and the moutaines of Israel shalbe desolate, and none shall passe through. 
\verseNumber{29}Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue laid ye land desolate and wast, because of al their abominations, that they haue committed. 
\verseNumber{30}Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people that talke of thee by the wals and in the dores of houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{31}For they come vnto thee, as the people vseth to come: and my people sit before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they will not doe them: for with their mouthes they make iestes, and their heart goeth after their couetousnesse. 
\verseNumber{32}And loe, thou art vnto them, as a iesting song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can sing well: for they heare thy woordes, but they doe them not.

\chapterNumber{34}And the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Sonne of man, prophesie against the shepherdes of Israel, prophesie and say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God vnto the shepherds, Wo be vnto the shepherds of Israel, that feede them selues: should not the shepherds feede the flockes? 
\verseNumber{3}Yee eate the fat, and yee clothe you with the wooll: yee kill them that are fed, but ye feede not the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{4}The weake haue ye not strengthened: the sicke haue ye not healed, neither haue ye bounde vp the broken, nor brought againe that which was driuen away, neither haue yee sought that which was lost, but with crueltie, and with rigour haue yee ruled them. 
\verseNumber{5}And they were scattered without a shepherde: and when they were dispersed, they were deuoured of all the beastes of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{6}My sheepe wandred through all the mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill: yea, my flocke was scattered through al the earth, and none did seeke or search after them. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore ye shepherds, heare the woorde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, surely because my flocke was spoyled, and my sheepe were deuoured of all the beasts of the fielde, hauing no shepherde, neither did my shepherdes seeke my sheepe, but the shepherdes fedde them selues, and fedde not my sheepe, 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore, heare ye the word of the Lord, O ye shepherds. 
\verseNumber{10}Thus saieth the Lord God, Behold, I come against the shepherds, and will require my sheepe at their hands, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheepe: neither shall the shepherds feede them selues any more: for I wil deliuer my sheepe from their mouthes, and they shall no more deuoure them. 
\verseNumber{11}For thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will search my sheepe, and seeke them out. 
\verseNumber{12}As a shepherd searcheth out his flocke, when he hath bene among his sheepe that are scattered, so wil I seeke out my sheepe and wil deliuer them out of all places, where they haue beene scattered in the cloudie and darke day, 
\verseNumber{13}And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countreis, and will bring them to their owne lande, and feede them vpon the mountaines of Israel, by the riuers, and in all the inhabited places of the countrey. 
\verseNumber{14}I will feede them in a good pasture, and vpon the hie mountaines of Israel shall their folde be: there shall they lie in a good folde and in fat pasture shall they feede vpon the mountaines of Israel. 
\verseNumber{15}I will feede my sheepe, and bring them to their rest, sayth the Lord God. 
\verseNumber{16}I will seeke that which was lost, and bring againe that which was driue away, and will binde vp that which was broken, and will strengthen the weake but I wil destroy the fat and the strong, and I will feede them with iudgement. 
\verseNumber{17}Also you my sheepe, Thus saieth the Lord God, behold, I iudge betweene sheepe, and sheepe, betweene the rammes and the goates. 
\verseNumber{18}Seemeth it a small thing vnto you to haue eaten vp the good pasture, but yee must treade downe with your feete the residue of your pasture? and to haue drunke of the deepe waters, but yee must trouble the residue with your feete? 
\verseNumber{19}And my sheepe eate that which yee haue troden with your feete, and drinke that which ye haue troubled with your feete. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore thus sayth the Lord God vnto them, behold, I, euen I wil iudge betweene the fat sheepe and the leane sheepe. 
\verseNumber{21}Because ye haue thrust with side and with shoulder, and pusht al the weake with your hornes, till ye haue scattered them abroade, 
\verseNumber{22}Therefore wil I helpe my sheepe, and they shall no more be spoyled, and I wil iudge betweene sheepe and sheepe. 
\verseNumber{23}And I wil set vp a shepherd ouer them, and he shall feede them, euen my seruant Dauid, he shall feede them, and he shalbe their shepherd. 
\verseNumber{24}And I the Lord will be their God, and my seruant Dauid shalbe the prince amog them. I the Lord haue spoken it.

\verseNumber{26}And I wil set them, as a blessing, euen roud about my mountaine: and I will cause rayne to come downe in due season, and there shalbe raine of blessing. 
\verseNumber{27}And the tree of the fielde shall yeeld her fruite, and the earth shall giue her fruite, and they shalbe safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue broken the cordes of their yoke, and deliuered them out of the hands of those that serued themselues of them.

\verseNumber{22}And you shall deuide it by lot for an inheritance vnto you, and to the strangers that dwell among you, which shall beget children among you, and they shall be vnto you, as borne in the countrey among the children of Israel, they shall part inheritance with you in the middes of the tribes of Israel.

\chapterNumber{1}In the thirde yeere of the reigne of Iehoiakim king of Iudah, came Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel vnto Ierusalem and besieged it. 
\verseNumber{2}And ye Lord gaue Iehoiakim king of Iudah into his hand; with parte of the vessels of the house of God, which he caryed into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into his gods treasurie. 
\verseNumber{3}And the King spake vnto Ashpenaz the master of his Eunuches, that he shoulde bring certeine of the children of Israel, of the Kings seede, and of the princes: 
\verseNumber{4}Children in whome was no blemish, but well fauoured, and instruct in all wisedome, and well seene in knowledge, and able to vtter knowledge, and such as were able to stande in the kings palace, and whome they might teach the learning, and the tongue of the Caldeans. 
\verseNumber{5}And the King appointed them prouision euery day of a portion of the Kings meate, and and of the wine, which he dranke, so nourishing them three yeere, that at the ende thereof, they might stande before the King. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe among these were certeine of the children of Iudah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 
\verseNumber{7}Vnto whome the chiefe of the Eunuches gaue other names: for hee called Daniel, Belteshazzar, and Hananiah, Shadrach, and Mishael, Meshach, and Azariah, Abednego. 
\verseNumber{8}But Daniel had determined in his heart, that hee woulde not defile him selfe with the portion of the Kings meate, nor with the wine which he dranke: therefore he required the chiefe of the Eunuches that he might not defile himselfe. 
\verseNumber{9}(Nowe God had brought Daniel into fauour, and tender loue with the chiefe of the Eunuches) 
\verseNumber{10}And the chiefe of the Eunuches sayd vnto Daniel, I feare my lord the King, who hath appointed your meate and your drinke: therefore if he see your faces worse liking then the other children, which are of your sort, then shall you make me lose mine head vnto the King. 
\verseNumber{11}Then sayd Daniel to Melzar, whome the chiefe of the Eunuches had set ouer Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
\verseNumber{12}Proue thy seruants, I beseeche thee, ten dayes, and let them giue vs pulse to eate, and water to drinke. 
\verseNumber{13}Then let our countenances bee looked vpon before thee, and the countenances of the children that eate of the portion of the Kings meate: and as thou seest, deale with thy seruantes. 
\verseNumber{14}So hee consented to them in this matter, an proued them ten dayes. 
\verseNumber{15}And at the end of ten dayes, their countenances appeared fayrer, and in better liking then all the childrens, which did eate the portion of the Kings meate. 
\verseNumber{16}Thus Melzar tooke away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drinke, and gaue them pulse. 
\verseNumber{17}As for these foure children, God gaue them knowledge, and vnderstanding in al learning and wisedome: also he gaue Daniel vnderstanding of all visions and dreames. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe when the time was expired, that the King had appoynted to bring them in, the chiefe of the Eunuches brought them before Nebuchad-nezzar. 
\verseNumber{19}And the King communed with them: and among them al was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stoode they before the king. 
\verseNumber{20}And in all matters of wisedome, and vnderstanding that the King enquired of them, hee founde them tenne times better then all the inchanters and astrologians, that were in all his realme. 
\verseNumber{21}And Daniel was vnto the first yeere of king Cyrus. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}And in the seconde yeere of the raygne of Nebuchad-nezzar, Nebuchad-nezzar dreamed dreames wherewith his spirite was troubled, and his sleepe was vpon him. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the King commanded to call the inchanters, and the astrologians and the sorcerers, and the Caldeans for to shewe the King his dreames: so they came and stoode before the King. 
\verseNumber{3}And the King sayde vnto them, I haue dreamed a dreame, and my spirite was troubled to knowe the dreame. 
\verseNumber{4}Then spake the Caldeans to the King in the Aramites language, O King, liue for euer: shewe thy seruants thy dreame, and wee shall shewe the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{5}And the King answered and sayd to the Caldeans, The thing is gone from me. If ye will not make me vnderstande the dreame with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be drawen in pieces, and your houses shall be made a iakes. 
\verseNumber{6}But if yee declare the dreame and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receyue of me gifts and rewardes, and great honour: therefore shewe me the dreame and the interpretation of it. 
\verseNumber{7}They answered againe, and sayde, Let the King shewe his seruantes the dreame, and wee will declare the interpretation thereof. 
\verseNumber{8}Then the King answered, and sayd, I knowe certeinly that ye would gaine the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. 
\verseNumber{9}But if ye will not declare mee the dreame, there is but one iudgement for you: for ye haue prepared lying and corrupt wordes, to speake before me till the time bee changed: therefore tell me the dreame, that I may knowe, if yee can declare me the interpretation thereof. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the Caldeans answered before the King, and sayde, There is no man vpon earth that can declare the Kings matter: yea, there is neither king nor prince nor lorde that asked such things at an inchanter or astrologian or Caldean. 
\verseNumber{11}For it is a rare thing that the King requireth, and there is none other that can declare it before the King, except the gods whose dwelling is not with flesh. 
\verseNumber{12}For this cause the king was angrie and in great furie, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel. 
\verseNumber{13}And when sentence was giuen, the wise men were slayne: and they sought Daniel and his fellowes to be put to death. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisedome to Arioch the Kings chiefe stewarde, which was gone foorth to put to death the wise men of Babel. 
\verseNumber{15}Yea, he answered and sayde vnto Arioch the kings captaine, Why is the sentence so hastie from the king? Then Arioch declared the thing to Daniel. 
\verseNumber{16}So Daniel went and desired the king that he woulde giue him leasure and that he woulde shewe the king the interpretation thereof. 
\verseNumber{17}The Daniel went to his house and shewed the matter to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions, 
\verseNumber{18}That they should beseech the God of heauen for grace in this secrete, that Daniel and his fellowes should not perish with the rest of ye wise men of Babel. 
\verseNumber{19}Then was the secret reueiled vnto Daniel in a vision by night: therefore Daniel praysed the God of heauen. 
\verseNumber{20}And Daniel answered and sayde, The Name of God be praysed for euer and euer: for wisedome and strength are his, 
\verseNumber{21}And hee changeth the times and seasons: he taketh away kings: he setteth vp kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and vnderstanding to those that vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{22}Hee discouereth the deepe and secrete things: he knoweth what is in darkenes, and the light dwelleth with him. 
\verseNumber{23}I thanke thee and prayse thee, O thou God of my fathers, that thou hast giuen mee wisedome and strength, and hast shewed me nowe the thing that wee desired of thee: for thou hast declared vnto vs the kings matter. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore Daniel went vnto Arioch, whome the King had ordeyned to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and sayde thus vnto him, Destroy not the wise men of Babel, but bring me before the King, and I will declare vnto the King the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Arioch brought Daniel before the King in all haste, and sayd thus vnto him, I haue found a man of the children of Iudah that were brought captiues, that will declare vnto the King the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{26}Then answered the King, and sayde vnto Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to shew me the dreame, which I haue seene, and the interpretation thereof? 
\verseNumber{27}Daniel answered in the presence of the King, and sayd, The secret which the King hath demanded, can neither the wise, the astrologians, the inchanters, nor the southsayers declare vnto the King. 
\verseNumber{28}But there is a God in heauen that reueileth secrets, and sheweth the King Nebuchad-nezzar what shall bee in the latter dayes. Thy dreame, and the things which thou hast seene in thine heade vpon thy bed, is this. 
\verseNumber{29}O King, when thou wast in thy bedde, thoughts came into thy mind, what should come to passe hereafter, and he that reueyleth secretes, telleth thee, what shall come. 
\verseNumber{30}As for me, this secret is not shewed mee for any wisedome that I haue, more then any other liuing, but onely to shewe the King the interpretation, and that thou mightest knowe the thoughts of thine heart. 
\verseNumber{31}O King, thou sawest, and beholde, there was a great image: this great image whose glory was so excellent, stood before thee, and the forme thereof was terrible. 
\verseNumber{32}This images head was of fine golde, his breast and his armes of siluer, his bellie and his thighs of brasse, 
\verseNumber{33}His legges of yron, and his feete were part of yron, and part of clay. 
\verseNumber{34}Thou beheldest it til a stone was cut without hands, which smote the image vpon his feete, that were of yron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 
\verseNumber{35}Then was the yron, the clay, the brasse, the siluer and the golde broken all together, and became like the chaffe of the sommer floures, and the winde caryed them away, that no place was founde for them: and the stone that smote the image, became a great mountaine, and filled the whole earth. 
\verseNumber{36}This is the dreame, and we will declare before the King the interpretation thereof. 
\verseNumber{37}O King, thou art a king of Kings: for the God of heauen hath giuen thee a kingdome, power, and strength, and glorie. 
\verseNumber{38}And in all places where the children of men dwell, the beasts of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen hath he giuen into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler ouer them al: thou art this heade of golde. 
\verseNumber{39}And after thee shall rise another kingdome, inferiour to thee, of siluer, and another third kingdome shalbe of brasse, which shall beare rule ouer all the earth. 
\verseNumber{40}And the fourth kingdome shall be strong as yron: for as yron breaketh in pieces, and subdueth all things, and as yron bruiseth all these things, so shall it breake in pieces, and bruise all. 
\verseNumber{41}Where as thou sawest the feete and toes, parte of potters clay, and part of yron: the kingdome shalbe deuided, but there shalbe in it of the strength of the yron, as thou sawest the yron mixt with the clay, and earth. 
\verseNumber{42}And as the toes of the feete were parte of yron, and parte of clay, so shall the kingdome be partly strong, and partly broken. 
\verseNumber{43}And where as thou sawest yron mixt with clay and earth, they shall mingle themselues with the seede of men: but they shall not ioyne one with another, as yron can not bee mixed with clay. 
\verseNumber{44}And in the dayes of these Kings, shall the God of heauen set vp a kingdome, which shall neuer be destroyed: and this kingdome shall not be giuen to another people, but it shall breake, and destroy al these kingdomes, and it shall stand for euer. 
\verseNumber{45}Where as thou sawest, that the stone was cut of the mountaine without handes, and that it brake in pieces the yron, the brasse, the clay, the siluer, and the golde: so the great God hath shewed the King, what shall come to passe hereafter, and the dreame is true, and the interpretation thereof is sure. 
\verseNumber{46}Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar fell vpon his face, and bowed himselfe vnto Daniel, and commanded that they should offer meate offrings, and sweete odours vnto him. 
\verseNumber{47}Also the King answered vnto Daniel, and said, I know of a trueth that your God is a God of gods, and the Lord of Kings, and the reueiler of secrets, seeing thou couldest open this secret. 
\verseNumber{48}So the King made Daniel a great man, and gaue him many and great giftes. Hee made him gouernour ouer the whole prouince of Babel, and chiefe of the rulers, and aboue all the wise men of Babel. 
\verseNumber{49}Then Daniel made request to the King, and hee set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego ouer the charge of the prouince of Babel: but Daniel sate in the gate of the King. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Nebuchad-nezzar the King made an image of gold, whose height was three score cubits, and the breadth thereof sixe cubites: hee set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babel. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Nebuchad-nezzar ye King sent foorth to gather together the nobles, the princes and the dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces, that they should come to the dedication of the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp. 
\verseNumber{3}So the nobles, princes and dukes, the iudges, the receiuers, the counsellers, the officers, and all the gouernours of the prouinces were assembled vnto the dedicating of the image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp: and they stood before the image, which Nebuchad-nezzar had set vp. 
\verseNumber{4}Then an herald cried aloude, Be it knowen to you, O people, nations, and languages, 
\verseNumber{5}That when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, ye fall downe and worship the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp, 
\verseNumber{6}And whosoeuer falleth not downe and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middes of an hote fierie fornace. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore assoone as all the people heard the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and all instruments of musike, all the people, nations, and languages fell downe, and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp. 
\verseNumber{8}By reason whereof at that same time came men of the Caldeans, and grieuously accused the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{9}For they spake and said to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer. 
\verseNumber{10}Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shall heare the sounde of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, shall fall downe and worship the golden image, 
\verseNumber{11}And whosoeuer falleth not downe, and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the mids of an hote fierie fornace. 
\verseNumber{12}There are certeine Iewes whome thou hast set ouer the charge of ye prouince of Babel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thy commandement, neither wil they serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, that thou hast set vp. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his anger and wrath commanded that they should bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: so these men were brought before the King. 
\verseNumber{14}And Nebuchad-nezzar spake, and said vnto them, What disorder? will not you, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serue my god, nor worship the golden image, that I haue set vp? 
\verseNumber{15}Now therefore are ye ready when ye heare the sound of the cornet, trumpet, harpe, sackebut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all instruments of musike, to fall downe, and worship the image, which I haue made? for if ye worship it not, ye shall be cast immediatly into the middes of an hote fierie fornace: for who is that God, that can deliuer you out of mine handes? 
\verseNumber{16}Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the King, O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter. 
\verseNumber{17}Beholde, our God whom we serue, is able to deliuer vs from the hote fierie fornace, and hee will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O King. 
\verseNumber{18}But if not, bee it knowen to thee, O King, that wee will not serue thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp. 
\verseNumber{19}Then was Nebuchad-nezzar full of rage, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore hee charged and commanded that they should heate the fornace at once seuen times more then it was wont to be heat. 
\verseNumber{20}And hee charged the most valiant men of warre that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the hote fierie fornace. 
\verseNumber{21}So these men were bounde in their coates, their hosen, and their clokes, with their other garments, and cast into the middes of the hote fierie fornace. 
\verseNumber{22}Therefore, because the Kings commandement was straite, that the fornace should be exceeding hote, the flame of the fire slew those men that brought foorth Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. 
\verseNumber{23}And these three men Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego fell downe bound into the middes of the hote fierie fornace. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Nebuchad-nezzar the King was astonied and rose vp in haste, and spake, and saide vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the middes of the fire? Who answered and said vnto the King, It is true, O King. 
\verseNumber{25}And he answered, and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the middes of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{26}Then the King Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the hote fierie fornace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, the seruants of the hie God goe foorth and come hither: so Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came foorth of the middes of the fire. 
\verseNumber{27}Then the nobles, princes and dukes, and the Kings counsellers came together to see these men, because the fire had no power ouer their bodies: for not an heare of their head was burnt, neither was their coates changed, nor any smelll of fire came vpon them. 
\verseNumber{28}Wherefore Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants, that put their trust in him, and haue changed the Kings commandement, and yeelded their bodies rather then they would serue or worship any god, saue their owne God. 
\verseNumber{29}Therefore I make a decree, that euery people, nation, and language, which speake any blasphemie against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shalbe drawen in pieces, and their houses shall be made a iakes, because there is no god that can deliuer after this sort. 
\verseNumber{30}Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the prouince of Babel. 
\verseNumber{31}Nebuchad-nezzar King vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwell in all the world, Peace be multiplied vnto you: 
\verseNumber{32}I thought it good to declare the signes and wonders, that the hie God hath wrought toward me. 
\verseNumber{33}How great are his signes, and how mightie are his wonders! his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, and his dominion is from generation to generation. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}I Nebuchad-nezzar being at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace, 
\verseNumber{2}Saw a dreame, which made me afraide, and the thoughtes vpon my bed, and the visions of mine head troubled me. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore made I a decree, that they should bring all the wise men of Babel before mee, that they might declare vnto me the interpretation of the dreame. 
\verseNumber{4}So came the inchanters, the astrologians, the Caldeans and the sothsayers, to whom I tolde the dreame, but they could not shew me the interpretation thereof, 
\verseNumber{5}Till at the last Daniel came before mee, (whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, which hath the spirite of the holy gods in him) and before him I tolde the dreame, saying, 
\verseNumber{6}O Belteshazzar, chiefe of the enchanters, because I know, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell mee the visions of my dreame, that I haue seene and the interpretation thereof. 
\verseNumber{7}Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed. And beholde, I sawe a tree in the middes of the earth and the height thereof was great: 
\verseNumber{8}A great tree and strong, and the height thereof reached vnto heauen, and the sight thereof to the endes of all the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}The boughes thereof were faire and the fruite thereof much, and in it was meate for all: it made a shadow vnder it for the beastes of the fielde, and the foules of the heauen dwelt in the boughes thereof, and all flesh fedde of it. 
\verseNumber{10}I sawe in the visions of mine head vpon my bed, and beholde, a watchman and an holy one came downe from heauen, 
\verseNumber{11}And cried aloude, and said thus, Hew downe the tree, and breake off his branches: shake off his leaues, and scatter his fruite, that the beastes may flee from vnder it, and the foules from his branches. 
\verseNumber{12}Neuerthelesse leaue the stumpe of his rootes in the earth, and with a band of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wet with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes among the grasse of the fielde. 
\verseNumber{13}Let his heart be changed from mans nature, and let a beasts heart be giuen vnto him, and let seuen times be passed ouer him. 
\verseNumber{14}The sentence is according to the decree of the watchmen, and according to the word of the holy ones: the demaunde was answered, to the intent that liuing men may knowe, that the most High hath power ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whomsoeuer he will, and appointeth ouer it the most abiect among men. 
\verseNumber{15}This is the dreame, that I King Nebuchad-nezzar haue seene: therefore thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof: for all the wisemen of my kingdome are not able to shewe mee the interpretation: but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Daniel (whose name was Belteshazzar) held his peace by the space of one houre, and his thoughts troubled him, and the King spake and said, Belteshazzar, let neither the dreame, nor the interpretation thereof trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and saide, My lord, the dreame be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. 
\verseNumber{17}The tree that thou sawest, which was great and mightie, whose height reached vnto the heauen, and the sight thereof through all the world, 
\verseNumber{18}Whose leaues were faire and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meate for all, vnder the which the beastes of the fielde dwelt, and vpon whose branches the foules of the heauen did sit, 
\verseNumber{19}It is thou, O King, that art great and mightie: for thy greatnesse is growen, and reacheth vnto heauen, and thy dominion to the endes of the earth. 
\verseNumber{20}Where as the King sawe a watchman, and an holy one, that came downe from heauen, and said, Hew downe the tree and destroy it, yet leaue the stumpe of the rootes thereof in the earth, and with a bande of yron and brasse binde it among the grasse of the fielde, and let it be wette with the dewe of heauen, and let his portion be with the beastes of the fielde, till seuen times passe ouer him, 
\verseNumber{21}This is the interpretation, O King, and it is the decree of the most High, which is come vpon my lord the King, 
\verseNumber{22}That they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beasts of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse as the oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dewe of heauen: and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, till thou knowe, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whom so euer he will. 
\verseNumber{23}Where as they sayd, that one should leaue the stumpe of the tree rootes, thy kingdome shall remaine vnto thee: after that, thou shalt knowe, that the heauens haue the rule. 
\verseNumber{24}Wherefore, O King, let my counsell be acceptable vnto thee, and breake off thy sinnes by righteousnes, and thine iniquities by mercy toward the poore: lo, let there be an healing of thine errour. 
\verseNumber{25}All these things shall come vpon the King Nebuchad-nezzar. 
\verseNumber{26}At the end of twelue moneths, he walked in the royall palace of Babel. 
\verseNumber{27}And the King spake and sayde, Is not this great Babel, that I haue built for the house of the kingdome by the might of my power, and for the honour of my maiestie? 
\verseNumber{28}While the worde was in the Kings mouth, a voyce came downe from heauen, saying, O King Nebuchad-nezzar, to thee be it spoken, Thy kingdome is departed from thee, 
\verseNumber{29}And they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shalbe with the beastes of the fielde: they shall make thee to eate grasse, as the oxen, and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, vntill thou knowest, that the most High beareth rule ouer the kingdome of men, and giueth it vnto whomsoeuer he will. 
\verseNumber{30}The very same houre was this thing fulfilled vpon Nebuchad-nezzar, and hee was driuen from men, and did eate grasse as the oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of heauen, till his heares were growen as eagles feathers, and his nailes like birds clawes. 
\verseNumber{31}And at the ende of these dayes I Nebuchad-nezzar lift vp mine eyes vnto heauen, and mine vnderstanding was restored vnto me, and I gaue thankes vnto the most High, and I praysed and honoured him that liueth for euer, whose power is an euerlasting power, and his kingdome is from generation to generation. 
\verseNumber{32}And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and according to his will he worketh in the armie of heauen, and in the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, nor say vnto him, What doest thou? 
\verseNumber{33}At the same time was mine vnderstanding restored vnto me, and I returned to the honour of my kingdome: my glory and my beautie was restored vnto me, and my counsellours and my princes sought vnto me, and I was established in my kingdome, and my glory was augmented toward me. 
\verseNumber{34}Now therefore I Nebuchad-nezzar prayse and extoll and magnifie the King of heauen, whose workes are all trueth, and his wayes iudgement, and those that walke in pride, he is able to abase.

\chapterNumber{5}King Belshazzar made a great feast to a thousand of his princes, and dranke wine before the thousand. 
\verseNumber{2}And Belshazzar whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring him the golden and siluer vessels, which his father Nebuchad-nezzar had brought from the Temple in Ierusalem, that the King and his princes, his wiues, and his concubines might drinke therein. 
\verseNumber{3}Then were brought the golden vessels, that were taken out of the Temple of the Lords house at Ierusalem, and the King and his princes, his wiues and his concubines dranke in them. 
\verseNumber{4}They drunke wine and praysed the gods of golde, and of siluer, of brasse, of yron, of wood and of stone. 
\verseNumber{5}At the same houre appeared fingers of a mans hand, which wrote ouer against the candlesticke vpon the plaister of the wall of ye Kings palace, and the King sawe the palme of the hand that wrote. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the Kings countenance was changed, and his thoughtes troubled him, so that the ioynts of his loynes were loosed, and his knees smote one against the other. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore the King cryed loude, that they should bring the astrologians, the Caldeans and the soothsayers. And the King spake, and sayd to the wise men of Babel, Whosoeuer can reade this writing, and declare me the interpretation thereof, shalbe clothed with purple, and shall haue a chaine of golde about his necke, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{8}Then came all the Kings wise men, but they could neither reade the writing, nor shewe the King the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{9}Then was King Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his princes were astonied. 
\verseNumber{10}Now the Queene by reason of the talke of the King, and his princes came into the banket house, and the Queene spake, and sayd, O King, liue for euer: let not thy thoughtes trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed. 
\verseNumber{11}There is a man in thy kingdome, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and in the dayes of thy father light and vnderstanding and wisdome like the wisdome of the gods, was found in him: whom the King Nebuchad-nezzar thy father, the King, I say, thy father, made chiefe of the enchanters, astrologians, Caldeans, and soothsayers, 
\verseNumber{12}Because a more excellent spirit, and knowledge, and vnderstanding (for hee did expound dreames, and declare hard sentences, and dissolued doubtes) were founde in him, euen in Daniel, whome the King named Belteshazzar: nowe let Daniel be called, and hee will declare the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{13}Then was Daniel brought before the King, and the King spake and sayd vnto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, whom my father the King brought out of Iewrie? 
\verseNumber{14}Now I haue heard of thee, that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and that light and vnderstanding and excellent wisdome is found in thee. 
\verseNumber{15}Now therefore, wisemen and astrologians haue bene brought before me, that they should reade this writing, and shewe me the interpretation thereof: but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing. 
\verseNumber{16}Then heard I of thee, that thou couldest shewe interpretations, and dissolue doutes: nowe if thou canst reade the writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with purple, and shalt haue a chaine of golde about thy necke, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Daniel answered, and sayd before the King, Keepe thy rewards to thy selfe, and giue thy giftes to another: yet I will reade the writing vnto the King, and shew him the interpretation. 
\verseNumber{18}O King, heare thou, The most high God gaue vnto Nebuchad-nezzar thy father a kingdome, and maiestie, and honour and glory. 
\verseNumber{19}And for the maiestie that he gaue him, all people, nations, and languages trembled, and feared before him: he put to death whom he would: he smote whome he would: whome he would he set vp, and whome he would he put downe. 
\verseNumber{20}But when his heart was puft vp, and his minde hardened in pride, hee was deposed from his kingly throne, and they tooke his honour from him. 
\verseNumber{21}And hee was driuen from the sonnes of men, and his heart was made like the beastes, and his dwelling was with the wilde asses: they fed him with grasse like oxen, and his body was wet with the dewe of the heauen, till he knewe, that the most high God bare rule ouer the kingdome of men, and that he appointeth ouer it, whomsoeuer he pleaseth. 
\verseNumber{22}And thou his sonne, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all these things, 
\verseNumber{23}But hast lift thy selfe vp against the Lord of heauen, and they haue brought the vessels of his House before thee, and thou and thy princes, thy wiues and thy concubines haue drunke wine in them, and thou hast praysed the gods of siluer and golde, of brasse, yron, wood and stone, which neither see, neither heare, nor vnderstand: and the God in whose hand thy breath is and all thy wayes, him hast thou not glorified. 
\verseNumber{24}Then was the palme of the hand sent from him, and hath written this writing. 
\verseNumber{25}And this is the writing that he hath written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL UPHARSIN. 
\verseNumber{26}This is the interpretation of the thing, MENE, God hath nombred thy kingdome, and hath finished it. 
\verseNumber{27}TEKEL, thou art wayed in the balance, and art found too light. 
\verseNumber{28}PERES, thy kingdome is deuided, and giuen to the Medes and Persians. 
\verseNumber{29}Then at the commandement of Belshazzar they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a chaine of golde about his necke, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{30}The same night was Belshazzar the King of the Caldeans slaine.

\chapterNumber{6}It pleased Darius to set ouer the kingdome an hundreth and twentie gouernours, which should be ouer the whole kingdome, 
\verseNumber{2}And ouer these, three rulers (of whome Daniel was one) that the gouernours might giue accompts vnto them, and the King should haue no domage. 
\verseNumber{3}Now this Daniel was preferred aboue the rulers and gouernours, because the spirit was excellent in him, and the King thought to set him ouer the whole realme. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore the rulers and gouernours sought an occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdome: but they could finde none occasion nor fault: for he was so faithfull that there was no blame nor fault found in him. 
\verseNumber{5}Then sayd these men, We shall not finde an occasion against this Daniel, except we finde it against him concerning the Law of his God. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore the rulers and these gouernours went together to the King, and sayde thus vnto him, King Darius, liue for euer. 
\verseNumber{7}All the rulers of thy kingdome, the officers and gouernours, the counsellers, and dukes haue consulted together to make a decree for the King and to establish a statute, that whosoeuer shall aske a petition of any god or man for thirtie dayes saue of thee, O King, he shalbe cast into the denne of lyons. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe, O King, confirme the decree, and seale the writing, that it be not changed according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore King Darius sealed the writing and the decree. 
\verseNumber{10}Now when Daniel vnderstood that he had sealed the writing, hee went into his house, and his window being open in his chamber toward Ierusalem, he kneeled vpon his knees three times a day, and prayed and praysed his God, as he did aforetime. 
\verseNumber{11}Then these men assembled, and founde Daniel praying, and making supplication vnto his God. 
\verseNumber{12}So they came and, spake vnto the King concerning the Kings decree, Hast thou not sealed the decree, that euery man that shall make a request to any god or man within thirtie dayes, saue to thee, O King, shall be cast into the denne of lyons? The King answered, and sayd, The thing is true, according to the Lawe of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 
\verseNumber{13}Then answered they, and sayd vnto the King, This Daniel which is of the children of the captiuitie of Iudah, regardeth not thee, O King, nor the decree, that thou hast sealed, but maketh his petition three times a day. 
\verseNumber{14}When the King heard these wordes, hee was sore displeased with himselfe, and set his heart on Daniel, to deliuer him: and he laboured till the sunne went downe, to deliuer him. 
\verseNumber{15}Then these men assembled vnto the King, and sayde vnto ye King, Vnderstand, O King, that the lawe of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree nor statute which the King confirmeth, may be altered. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the King commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the denne of lyons: now the King spake, and said vnto Daniel, Thy God, whome thou alway seruest, euen he will deliuer thee. 
\verseNumber{17}And a stone was brought, and layed vpon the mouth of the denne, and the King sealed it with his owne signet, and with the signet of his princes, that the purpose might not be changed, concerning Daniel. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the King went vnto his palace, and remained fasting, neither were the instruments of musike brought before him, and his sleepe went from him. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the King arose early in the morning, and went in all haste vnto the denne of lyons. 
\verseNumber{20}And when he came to the denne, he cryed with a lamentable voyce vnto Daniel: and the King spake, and saide to Daniel, O Daniel, the seruant of ye liuing God, is not thy God (whom thou alway seruest) able to deliuer thee from the lyons? 
\verseNumber{21}Then saide Daniel vnto the King, O King, liue for euer. 
\verseNumber{22}My God hath sent his Angel and hath shut the lyons mouthes, that they haue not hurt mee: for my iustice was founde out before him: and vnto thee, O King, I haue done no hurt. 
\verseNumber{23}Then was the King exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the denne: so Daniel was brought out of the denne, and no maner of hurt was found vpon him, because he beleeued in his God. 
\verseNumber{24}And by the commandement of the King these me which had accused Daniel, were brought, and were cast into the denne of lions, euen they, their children, and their wiues: and the lyons had the mastry of them, and brake all their bones a pieces, or euer they came at the groud of the denne. 
\verseNumber{25}Afterwarde King Darius wrote, Vnto all people, nations and languages, that dwel in all the world: Peace be multiplied vnto you. 
\verseNumber{26}I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdome, men tremble and feare before the God of Daniel: for he is the liuing God, and remayneth for euer: and his kingdome shall not perish, and his dominion shalbe euerlasting. 
\verseNumber{27}Hee rescueth and deliuereth, and hee worketh signes and wonders in heauen and in earth, who hath deliuered Daniel from the power of the lyons. 
\verseNumber{28}So this Daniel prospered in the reigne of Darius and in the reigne of Cyrus of Persia.

\chapterNumber{7}In the first yeere of Belshazzar King of Babel, Daniel sawe a dreame, and there were visions in his head, vpon his bed: then he wrote the dreame, and declared the summe of the matter. 
\verseNumber{2}Daniel spake and saide, I sawe in my vision by night, and behold, the foure windes of the heauen stroue vpon the great sea: 
\verseNumber{3}And foure great beastes came vp from the sea one diuers from another. 
\verseNumber{4}The first was as a lyon, and had eagles wings: I beheld, til the wings thereof were pluckt of, and it was lifted vp from the earth, and set vpon his feete as a man, and a mans heart was giuen him. 
\verseNumber{5}And beholde, another beast which was the second, was like a beare and stood vpon the one side: and hee had three ribbes in his mouth betweene his teeth, and they saide thus vnto him, Arise and deuoure much flesh. 
\verseNumber{6}After this I behelde, and loe, there was an other like a leopard, which had vpon his backe foure wings of a foule: the beast had also foure heads, and dominion was giuen him. 
\verseNumber{7}After this I saw in the visions by night, and beholde, the fourth beast was fearefull and terrible and very strong. It had great yron teeth: it deuoured and brake in pieces and stamped the residue vnder his feete: and it was vnlike to the beasts that were before it: for it had ten hornes. 
\verseNumber{8}As I considered the hornes, beholde, there came vp among them another litle horne, before whome there were three of the first hornes pluckt away: and behold, in this horne were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking presumptuous things. 
\verseNumber{9}I behelde, till the thrones were set vp, and the Ancient of dayes did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the heare of his head like the pure wooll: his throne was like the fierie flame, and his wheeles as burning fire. 
\verseNumber{10}A fierie streame yssued, and came foorth from before him: thousand thousandes ministred vnto him, and tenne thousand thousands stoode before him: the iudgement was set, and the bookes opened. 
\verseNumber{11}Then I behelde, because of the voyce of the presumptuous wordes, which the horne spake: I behelde, euen till the beast was slaine, and his body destroyed, and giuen to the burning fire. 
\verseNumber{12}As concerning the other beastes, they had taken away their dominion: yet their liues were prolonged for a certaine time and season. 
\verseNumber{13}As I behelde in visions by night, behold, one like the sonne of man came in the cloudes of heauen, and approched vnto the Ancient of dayes, and they brought him before him. 
\verseNumber{14}And he gaue him dominion, and honour, and a kingdome, that all people, nations and languages should serue him: his dominion is an euerlasting dominion, which shall neuer bee taken away: and his kingdome shall neuer be destroyed. 
\verseNumber{15}I Daniel was troubled in my spirit, in the middes of my body, and the visions of mine head made me afraide. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore I came vnto one of them that stoode by, and asked him the trueth of all this: so he tolde me, and shewed me the interpretation of these things. 
\verseNumber{17}These great beastes which are foure, are foure Kings, which shall arise out of the earth, 
\verseNumber{18}And they shall take the kingdome of the Saintes of the most High, and possesse the kingdome for euer, euen for euer and euer. 
\verseNumber{19}After this, I woulde knowe the trueth of the fourth beast, which was so vnlike to all the others, very fearefull, whose teeth were of yron, and his nailes of brasse: which deuoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue vnder his feete. 
\verseNumber{20}Also to know of the tenne hornes that were in his head, and of the other which came vp, before whome three fell, and of the horne that had eyes, and of the mouth that spake presumptuous thinges, whose looke was more stoute then his fellowes. 
\verseNumber{21}I beheld, and the same horne made battel against the Saintes, yea, and preuailed against them, 
\verseNumber{22}Vntill the Ancient of dayes came, and iudgement was giuen to the Saintes of the most High: and the time approched, that the Saintes possessed the kingdome. 
\verseNumber{23}Then he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdome in the earth, which shall be vnlike to all the kingdomes, and shall deuoure the whole earth, and shall treade it downe and breake it in pieces. 
\verseNumber{24}And the ten hornes out of this kingdome are tenne Kings that shall rise: and an other shall rise after them, and he shall be vnlike to the first, and he shall subdue three Kings, 
\verseNumber{25}And shall speake wordes against the most High, and shall consume the Saintes of the most High, and thinke that he may change times and lawes, and they shalbe giuen into his hand, vntill a time, and times and the deuiding of time. 
\verseNumber{26}But the iudgement shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it vnto the ende. 
\verseNumber{27}And the kingdome, and dominion, and the greatnesse of the kingdome vnder the whole heauen shalbe giue to the holy people of the most High, whose kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome and all powers shall serue and obey him. 
\verseNumber{28}Euen this is the ende of the matter, I Daniel had many cogitations which troubled mee, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in mine heart.

\chapterNumber{8}In the thirde yeere of the reigne of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared vnto mee, euen vnto me Daniel, after that which appeared vnto mee at the first. 
\verseNumber{2}And I saw in a vision, and when I sawe it, I was in the palace of Shushan, which is in the prouince of Elam, and in a vision me thought I was by the riuer of Vlai. 
\verseNumber{3}Then I looked vp and sawe, and beholde, there stoode before the riuer a ramme, which had two hornes: and these two hornes were hie: but one was hier then another, and the hyest came vp last. 
\verseNumber{4}I sawe the ramme pusshing against ye West, and against the North, and against the South: so that no beastes might stande before him, nor could deliuer out of his hand, but he did what he listed, and became great. 
\verseNumber{5}And as I considered, beholde, a goate came from the West ouer the whole earth, and touched not the grounde: and this goate had an horne that appeared betweene his eyes. 
\verseNumber{6}And he came vnto the ramme that had the two hornes, whome I had seene standing by the riuer, and ranne vnto him in his fierce rage. 
\verseNumber{7}And I saw him come vnto the ramme, and being moued against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the grounde, and stamped vpon him, and there was none that coulde deliuer the ramme out of his power. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore the goate waxed exceeding great, and when he was at the strongest, his great horne was broken: and for it came vp foure that appeared toward the foure windes of ye heauen. 
\verseNumber{9}And out of one of them came foorth a litle horne, which waxed very great toward the South, and toward the East, and towarde the pleasant land. 
\verseNumber{10}Yea, it grewe vp vnto the hoste of heauen, and it cast downe some of the hoste, and of the starres to the ground, and trode vpon them, 
\verseNumber{11}And extolled himselfe against the prince of the hoste from whome the dayly sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his Sanctuarie was cast downe. 
\verseNumber{12}And a time shall be giuen him ouer the dayly sacrifice for the iniquitie: and it shall cast downe the trueth to the ground, and thus shall it doe, and prosper. 
\verseNumber{13}Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, and one of the Saints spake vnto a certaine one, saying, Howe long shall endure the vision of the dayly sacrifice, and the iniquitie of the desolation to treade both the Sanctuarie and the armie vnder foote? 
\verseNumber{14}And he answered me, Vnto the euening and the morning, two thousand and three hundreth: then shall the Sanctuarie be clensed. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the meaning, beholde, there stoode before me like the similitude of a man. 
\verseNumber{16}And I heard a mans voyce betweene the bankes of Vlai, which called, and sayde, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision. 
\verseNumber{17}So he came where I stood: and when hee came, I was afraide, and fell vpon my face: but he sayd vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the last time shalbe the vision. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe as he was speaking vnto me, I being a sleepe fell on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place. 
\verseNumber{19}And he sayde, Beholde, I will shewe thee what shalbe in the last wrath: for in the end of the time appointed it shall come. 
\verseNumber{20}The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the Kings of the Medes and Persians. 
\verseNumber{21}And the goate is the King of Grecia, and the great horne that is betweene his eyes, is the first King. 
\verseNumber{22}And that that is broken, and foure stoode vp for it, are foure kingdomes, which shall stand vp of that nation, but not in his strength. 
\verseNumber{23}And in the end of their kingdome, when the rebellious shalbe consumed, a King of fierce countenance, and vnderstanding darke sentences, shall stand vp. 
\verseNumber{24}And his power shalbe mightie, but not in his strength: and hee shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mightie, and the holy people. 
\verseNumber{25}And through his policie also, hee shall cause craft to prosper in his hand, and he shall extoll himselfe in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: hee shall also stande vp against the prince of princes, but he shalbe broken downe without hand. 
\verseNumber{26}And the vision of the euening and the morning, which is declared, is true: therefore seale thou vp the vision, for it shall be after many dayes.

\verseNumber{9}Yet compassion and forgiuenesse is in the Lord our God, albeit we haue rebelled against him. 
\verseNumber{10}For we haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord our God, to walke in his lawes, which he had laide before vs by the ministerie of his seruants the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{11}Yea, all Israel haue transgressed thy Lawe, and are turned backe, and haue not heard thy voyce: therefore the curse is powred vpon vs, and the othe that is written in the Lawe of Moses the seruant of God, because we haue sinned against him. 
\verseNumber{12}And he hath confirmed his wordes, which he spake against vs, and against our iudges that iudged vs, by bringing vpon vs a great plague: for vnder the whole heauen hath not bene the like, as hath bene brought vpon Ierusalem. 
\verseNumber{13}All this plague is come vpon vs, as it is written in the Lawe of Moses: yet made we not our prayer before the Lord our God, that we might turne from our iniquities and vnderstand thy trueth. 
\verseNumber{14}Therefore hath the Lord made ready the plague, and brought it vpon vs: for the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we would not heare his voyce. 
\verseNumber{15}And nowe, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mightie hand, and hast gotten thee renoume, as appeareth this day, we haue sinned, we haue done wickedly. 
\verseNumber{16}O Lord, according to all thy righteousnes, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy wrath be turned away from thy citie Ierusalem thine holy Mountaine: for because of our sinnes, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Ierusalem and thy people are a reproche to all that are about vs. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe therefore, O our God, heare the prayer of thy serunant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine vpon thy Sanctuarie, that lyeth waste for the Lords sake. 
\verseNumber{18}O my God, encline thine eare and heare: open thine eyes, and beholde our desolations, and the citie whereupon thy Name is called: for we doe not present our supplications before thee for our owne righteousnes, but for thy great tender mercies. 
\verseNumber{19}O Lord, heare, O Lord forgiue, O Lord consider, and doe it: deferre not, for thine owne sake, O my God: for thy Name is called vpon thy citie, and vpon thy people. 
\verseNumber{20}And whiles I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sinne, and the sinne of my people Israel, and did present my supplication before the Lord my God, for the holy Mountaine of my God, 
\verseNumber{21}Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, euen the man Gabriel, whome I had seene before in the vision, came flying, and touched mee about the time of the euening oblation. 
\verseNumber{22}And he informed me, and talked with me, and sayd, O Daniel, I am now come forth to giue thee knowledge and vnderstanding. 
\verseNumber{23}At the beginning of thy supplications the commandement came foorth, and I am come to shewe thee, for thou art greatly beloued: therefore vnderstande the matter and consider the vision. 
\verseNumber{24}Seuentie weekes are determined vpon thy people and vpon thine holy citie, to finish the wickednes, and to seale vp the sinnes, and to reconcile the inquitie, and to bring in euerlasting righteousnesse, and to seale vp the vision and prophecie, and to anoynt the most Holy. 
\verseNumber{25}Knowe therefore and vnderstande, that from the going foorth of the commandement to bring againe the people, and to builde Ierusalem, vnto Messiah the prince, shall be seuen weekes and threescore and two weekes, and the streete shalbe built againe, and the wall euen in a troublous time. 
\verseNumber{26}And after threescore and two weekes, shall Messiah be slaine, and shall haue nothing,, and the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the citie and the Sanctuarie, and the end thereof shalbe with a flood: and vnto the end of the battell it shalbe destroyed by desolations. 
\verseNumber{27}And he shall confirme the couenant with many for one weeke: and in the middes of the weeke he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the ouerspreading of the abominations, he shall make it desolate, euen vntill the consummation determined shalbe powred vpon the desolate.

\chapterNumber{10}In the third yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, a thing was reueiled vnto Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar) and the worde was true, but the time appointed was long, and he vnderstood the thing, and had vnderstanding of the vision. 
\verseNumber{2}At the same time I Daniel was in heauines for three weekes of dayes. 
\verseNumber{3}I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint my selfe at all, till three weekes of dayes were fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{4}And in the foure and twentieth day of the first moneth, as I was by the side of that great riuer, euen Hiddekel, 
\verseNumber{5}And I lift vp mine eyes, and looked, and beholde, there was a man clothed in linnen, whose loynes were girded with fine golde of Vphaz. 
\verseNumber{6}His body also was like the Chrysolite, and his face (to looke vpon) like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his armes and his feete were like in colour to polished brasse, and the voyce of his wordes was like the voyce of a multitude. 
\verseNumber{7}And I Daniel alone sawe the vision: for the men that were with me, sawe not the vision: but a great feare fell vpon them, so that they fled away and hid themselues. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore I was left alone, and sawe this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my strength was turned in me into corruption, and I reteined no power. 
\verseNumber{9}Yet heard I the voyce of his wordes: and when I heard the voyce of his wordes, I slept on my face: and my face was toward the ground. 
\verseNumber{10}And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vp vpon my knees and vpon the palmes of mine hands. 
\verseNumber{11}And he sayde vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand in thy place: for vnto thee am I nowe sent. And when hee had sayde this worde vnto me, I stood trembling. 
\verseNumber{12}Then sayd he vnto me, Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to humble thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy wordes. 
\verseNumber{13}But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstoode me one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe princes, came to helpe me, and I remained there by the Kings of Persia. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe I am come to shewe thee what shall come to thy people in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes. 
\verseNumber{15}And when he spake these wordes vnto me, I set my face towarde the grounde, and helde my tongue. 
\verseNumber{16}And beholde, one like the similitude of the sonnes of man touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said vnto him that stoode before me, O my Lord, by the vision my sorowes are returned vpon me, and I haue reteined no strength. 
\verseNumber{17}For howe can the seruant of this my Lord talke with my Lord being such one? for as for me, straight way there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me. 
\verseNumber{18}Then there came againe, and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 
\verseNumber{19}And said, O man, greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee: be strong and of good courage. And when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and saide, Let my Lord speake: for thou hast strengthened me. 
\verseNumber{20}Then saide he, Knowest thou wherefore I am come vnto thee? but nowe will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.

\verseNumber{20}Then shall stand vp in his place in the glorie of the kingdome, one that shall raise taxes: but after fewe dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in wrath, nor in battell. 
\verseNumber{21}And in his place shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shall not giue the honour of the kingdome: but he shall come in peaceably, and obteine the kingdome by flatteries. 
\verseNumber{22}And the armes shall be ouerthrowen with a flood before him, and shall be broken: and also the prince of the couenant. 
\verseNumber{23}And after the league made with him, he shall worke deceitfully: for he shall come vp, and ouercome with a small people.

\verseNumber{25}Also he shall stirre vp his power and his courage against the King of the South with a great armie, and the King of the South shall be stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast and practise against him.

\verseNumber{2}At the beginning the Lord spake by Hosea, and the Lord said vnto Hosea, Goe, take vnto thee a wife of fornications, and children of fornications: for the lande hath committed great whoredome, departing from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}So he went, and tooke Gomer, ye daughter of Diblaim, which conceiued and bare him a sonne. 
\verseNumber{4}And the Lord said vnto him, Cal his name Izreel: for yet a litle, and I will visite the blood of Izreel vpon the house of Iehu, and will cause to cease the kingdome of the house of Israel. 
\verseNumber{5}And at that day will I also breake the bowe of Israel in the valley of Izreel. 
\verseNumber{6}She conceiued yet againe, and bare a daughter, and God saide vnto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more haue pitie vpon the house of Israel: but I wil vtterly take them away. 
\verseNumber{7}Yet I will haue mercie vpon the house of Iudah, and wil saue them by the Lord their God, and wil not saue them by bow, nor by sword nor by battell, by horses, nor by horsemen.

\verseNumber{3}But Ionah rose vp to flee into Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went downe to Iapho: and he founde a ship going to Tarshish: so he payed the fare thereof, and went downe into it, that he might go with them vnto Tarshish, from the presence of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{4}But the Lord sent out a great winde into the sea, and there was a mightie tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the mariners were afraide, and cryed euery man vnto his God, and cast the wares that were in the ship, into the sea to lighten it of the: but Ionah was gone downe into the sides of the ship, and he lay downe, and was fast a sleepe. 
\verseNumber{6}So the shipmaster came to him, and saide vnto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? Arise, call vpon thy God, if so be that God wil thinke vpon vs, that we perish not. 
\verseNumber{7}And they saide euery one to his fellowe, Come, and let vs cast lottes, that we may know, for whose cause this euill is vpon vs. So they cast lottes, and the lot fell vpon Ionah. 
\verseNumber{8}Then said they vnto him, Tell vs for whose cause this euill is vpon vs? what is thine occupation? and whence commest thou? which is thy countrey? and of what people art thou? 
\verseNumber{9}And he answered them, I am an Ebrewe, and I feare the Lord God of heauen, which hath made the sea, and the dry lande. 
\verseNumber{10}Then were the men exceedingly afrayde, and said vnto him, Why hast thou done this? (for the men knewe, that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had tolde them) 
\verseNumber{11}Then saide they vnto him, What shall we doe vnto thee, that the sea may be calme vnto vs? (for the sea wrought and was troublous) 
\verseNumber{12}And he said vnto them, Take me, and cast me into the sea: so shall the sea be calme vnto you: for I knowe that for my sake this great tempest is vpon you. 
\verseNumber{13}Neuerthelesse, the men rowed to bring it to the lande, but they coulde not: for the sea wrought, and was troublous against them. 
\verseNumber{14}Wherefore they cryed vnto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let vs not perish for this mans life, and lay not vpon vs innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done, as it pleased thee. 
\verseNumber{15}So they tooke vp Ionah, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from her raging. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice vnto the Lord, and made vowes.

\verseNumber{4}Then I saide, I am cast away out of thy sight: yet will I looke againe towarde thine holy Temple. 
\verseNumber{5}The waters compassed me about vnto the soule: the depth closed me rounde about, and the weedes were wrapt about mine head.

\verseNumber{9}Who can tell if God will turne, and repent and turne away from his fierce wrath, that we perish not?

\verseNumber{3}Therefore nowe O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me: for it is better for me to die then to liue. 
\verseNumber{4}Then saide the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? 
\verseNumber{5}So Ionah went out of the citie and sate on the East side of the citie, and there made him a boothe, and sate vnder it in the shadowe till he might see what should be done in the citie. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord God prepared a gourde, and made it to come vp ouer Ionah, that it might be a shadowe ouer his head and deliuer him from his griefe. So Ionah was exceeding glad of the gourde. 
\verseNumber{7}But God prepared a worme when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered. 
\verseNumber{8}And when the sunne did arise, God prepared also a feruent East winde: and the sunne beat vpon the head of Ionah, that he fainted, and wished in his heart to die, and said, It is better for me to dye, then to liue. 
\verseNumber{9}And God said vnto Ionah, Doest thou well to be angrie for the gourde? And he said, I doe well to be angrie vnto the death. 
\verseNumber{10}Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pitie on the gourde for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it growe, which came vp in a night, and perished in a night,

\verseNumber{3}Why doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention. 
\verseNumber{4}Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.

\chapterNumber{2}When Jesus then was borne at Bethleem in Iudea, in the dayes of Herod the King, beholde, there came Wisemen from the East to Hierusalem, 
\verseNumber{2}Saying, Where is that King of the Iewes that is borne? for wee haue seene his starre in the East, and are come to worship him. 
\verseNumber{3}When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and all Hierusalem with him. 
\verseNumber{4}And gathering together all the chiefe Priestes and Scribes of the people, hee asked of them, where Christ should be borne. 
\verseNumber{5}And they saide vnto him, At Beth-leem in Iudea: for so it is written by the Prophet, 
\verseNumber{6}And thou Beth-leem in the lande of Iuda, art not the least among the Princes of Iuda: For out of thee shall come the gouernour that shall feede that my people Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Herod priuily called the Wisemen, and diligently inquired of them the time of the starre that appeared, 
\verseNumber{8}And sent them to Beth-leem, saying, Goe, and searche diligently for the babe: and when ye haue founde him, bring mee worde againe, that I may come also, and worship him. 
\verseNumber{9}So when they had heard the King, they departed: and loe, the starre which they had seene in the East, went before them, till it came and stoode ouer the place where the babe was. 
\verseNumber{10}And when they sawe the starre, they reioyced with an exceeding great ioy, 
\verseNumber{11}And went into the house, and founde the babe with Mary his mother, and fell downe, and worshipped him, and opened their treasures, and presented vnto him giftes, euen golde, and frankincense, and myrrhe.

\verseNumber{14}So he arose and tooke the babe and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, 
\verseNumber{15}And was there vnto the death of Herod, that that might be fulfilled, which is spoken of the Lord by the Prophet, saying, Out of Egypt haue I called my sonne.

\verseNumber{17}Then was that fulfilled which is spoken by the Prophet Ieremias, saying,

\verseNumber{5}Then the deuil tooke him vp into the holy Citie, and set him on a pinacle of the temple,

\verseNumber{7}And Iesus saide vnto him, I will come and heale him. 
\verseNumber{8}But the Centurion answered, saying, Master, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but speake the worde onely, and my seruant shall be healed. 
\verseNumber{9}For I am a man also vnder the authoritie of an other, and haue souldiers vnder me: and I say to one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it. 
\verseNumber{10}When Iesus heard that, he marueiled, and said to them that folowed him, Verely, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, euen in Israel. 
\verseNumber{11}But I say vnto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shall sit downe with Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, in the kingdome of heauen.

\verseNumber{17}That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying, He tooke our infirmities, and bare our sickenesses. 
\verseNumber{18}And when Iesus sawe great multitudes of people about him, he commanded them to goe ouer the water. 
\verseNumber{19}Then came there a certaine Scribe, and said vnto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoeuer thou goest. 
\verseNumber{20}But Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen haue nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to rest his head. 
\verseNumber{21}And another of his disciples saide vnto him, Master, suffer me first to goe, and burie my father. 
\verseNumber{22}But Iesus said vnto him, Followe me, and let the dead burie their dead. 
\verseNumber{23}And when he was entred into ye ship, his disciples followed him. 
\verseNumber{24}And beholde, there arose a great tempest in the sea, so that the ship was couered with waues: but he was a sleepe.

\chapterNumber{9}Then hee entred into a shippe, and passed ouer, and came into his owne citie. 
\verseNumber{2}And loe, they brought to him a man sicke of the palsie, laid on a bed. And Iesus seeing their faith, saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, be of good comfort: thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 
\verseNumber{3}And beholde, certaine of the Scribes saide with themselues, This man blasphemeth. 
\verseNumber{4}But when Iesus saw their thoughts, he said, Wherefore thinke yee euil things in your hearts? 
\verseNumber{5}For whether is it easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Arise, and walke? 
\verseNumber{6}And that ye may knowe that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (then saide he vnto the sicke of the palsie,) Arise, take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house. 
\verseNumber{7}And hee arose, and departed to his owne house. 
\verseNumber{8}So when the multitude sawe it, they marueiled, and glorified God, which had giuen such authoritie to men. 
\verseNumber{9}And as Iesus passed foorth from thence, hee sawe a man sitting at the custome, named Matthewe, and saide to him, Followe me. And he arose, and followed him.

\verseNumber{11}And when the Pharises sawe that, they saide to his disciples, Why eateth your master with Publicanes and sinners? 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole neede not a Physition, but they that are sicke. 
\verseNumber{13}But goe yee and learne what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. 
\verseNumber{14}Then came the disciples of Iohn to him, saying, Why doe we and the Pharises fast oft, and thy disciples fast not? 
\verseNumber{15}And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber mourne as long as the bridegrome is with them? But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. 
\verseNumber{16}Moreouer no man pieceth an olde garment with a piece of newe cloth: for that that should fill it vp, taketh away from the garment, and the breach is worse.

\verseNumber{22}Then Iesus turned him about, and seeing her, did say, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole at that same moment.) 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe when Iesus came into the Rulers house, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making noise, 
\verseNumber{24}He said vnto them, Get you hence: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorne. 
\verseNumber{25}And when the multitude were put foorth, hee went in and tooke her by the hande, and the maide arose. 
\verseNumber{26}And this bruite went throughout all that lande. 
\verseNumber{27}And as Iesus departed thence, two blinde men followed him, crying, and saying, O sonne of Dauid, haue mercie vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{28}And when hee was come into the house, the blinde came to him, and Iesus saide vnto them, Beleeue yee that I am able to doe this? And they sayd vnto him, Yea, Lord.

\verseNumber{36}But when he saw the multitude, he had compassion vpon them, because they were dispersed, and scattered abroade, as sheepe hauing no shepheard.

\chapterNumber{10}And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease.

\verseNumber{3}Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus: 
\verseNumber{4}Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him. 
\verseNumber{5}These twelue did Iesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not: 
\verseNumber{6}But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel. 
\verseNumber{7}And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand. 
\verseNumber{8}Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue. 
\verseNumber{9}Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels, 
\verseNumber{10}Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate. 
\verseNumber{11}And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence. 
\verseNumber{12}And when yee come into an house, salute the same. 
\verseNumber{13}And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you. 
\verseNumber{14}And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete. 
\verseNumber{15}Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie. 
\verseNumber{16}Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues. 
\verseNumber{17}But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues. 
\verseNumber{18}And ye shall be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{19}But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say. 
\verseNumber{20}For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you. 
\verseNumber{21}And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die. 
\verseNumber{22}And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.

\verseNumber{24}The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord. 
\verseNumber{25}It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde? 
\verseNumber{26}Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen.

\verseNumber{34}Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde.

\verseNumber{36}And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde. 
\verseNumber{37}He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me. And he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me. 
\verseNumber{38}And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me.

\verseNumber{40}He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me. 
\verseNumber{41}Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.

\chapterNumber{11}And it came to passe that when Iesus had made an ende of commaunding his twelue disciples, hee departed thence to teache and to preach in their cities. 
\verseNumber{2}And when Iohn heard in the prison the woorkes of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and sayde vnto him, 
\verseNumber{3}Art thou he that shoulde come, or shall we looke for another? 
\verseNumber{4}And Iesus answering, said vnto them, Goe, and shewe Iohn, what things ye heare, and see. 
\verseNumber{5}The blinde receiue sight, and the halt doe walke: the lepers are clensed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receiue the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{6}And blessed is he that shall not be offeded in me. 
\verseNumber{7}And as they departed, Iesus beganne to speake vnto the multitude, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde? 
\verseNumber{8}But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that weare soft clothing, are in Kings houses. 
\verseNumber{9}But what went ye out to see? A Prophet? Yea, I say vnto you, and more then a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{10}For this is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 
\verseNumber{11}Verely I say vnto you, among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater then Iohn Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is the least in the kingdome of heauen, is greater then he. 
\verseNumber{12}And from the time of Iohn Baptist hitherto, the kingdome of heauen suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

\verseNumber{15}He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{16}But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto litle children which sit in the markets, and call vnto their fellowes, 
\verseNumber{17}And say, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced, we haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented. 
\verseNumber{18}For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a deuill. 
\verseNumber{19}The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Beholde a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend vnto Publicanes and sinners: but wisedome is iustified of her children. 
\verseNumber{20}Then began he to vpbraide the cities, wherein most of his great workes were done, because they repented not. 
\verseNumber{21}Woe be to thee, Chorazin: Woe be to thee, Bethsaida: for if ye great workes, which were done in you, had bene done in Tyrus and Sidon, they had repented long agone in sackecloth and ashes. 
\verseNumber{22}But I say to you, It shalbe easier for Tyrus and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you. 
\verseNumber{23}And thou, Capernaum, which art lifted vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: for if the great workes, which haue bin done in thee, had bene done among them of Sodom, they had remained to this day. 
\verseNumber{24}But I say vnto you, that it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom in the day of iudgement, then for thee. 
\verseNumber{25}At that time Iesus answered, and saide, I giue thee thankes, O Father, Lord of heauen and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and men of vnderstanding, and hast opened them vnto babes. 
\verseNumber{26}It is so, O Father, because thy good pleasure was such. 
\verseNumber{27}All things are giuen vnto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Sonne, but ye Father: neither knoweth any man ye Father, but the Sonne, and he to whom ye Sonne will reueile him. 
\verseNumber{28}Come vnto me, all ye that are wearie and laden, and I will ease you. 
\verseNumber{29}Take my yoke on you, and learne of me that I am meeke and lowly in heart: and ye shall finde rest vnto your soules.

\chapterNumber{12}At that time Iesus went on a Sabbath day through ye corne, and his disciples were an hungred, and bega to plucke ye eares of corne and to eate. 
\verseNumber{2}And when the Pharises sawe it, they saide vnto him, Beholde, thy disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{3}But he said vnto them, Haue ye not read what Dauid did when he was an hungred, and they that were with him? 
\verseNumber{4}Howe he entred into ye house of God, and did eate the shewe bread, which was not lawfull for him to eate, neither for them which were with him, but onely for the Priestes? 
\verseNumber{5}Or haue ye not read in the Lawe, how that on the Sabbath dayes the Priestes in the Temple breake the Sabbath, and are blameles?

\verseNumber{7}Wherefore if ye knewe what this is, I will haue mercie, and not sacrifice, ye would not haue condemned the innocents. 
\verseNumber{8}For the sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{9}And he departed thence, and went into their Synagogue: 
\verseNumber{10}And beholde, there was a man which had his hand dried vp. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawfull to heale vpon a Sabbath day? that they might accuse him. 
\verseNumber{11}And he said vnto the, What man shall there be among you, that hath a sheepe, and if it fal on a Sabbath day into a pit, doth not take it and lift it out? 
\verseNumber{12}How much more then is a man better then a sheepe? therefore, it is lawfull to doe well on a Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{13}Then said he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it foorth, and it was made whole as the other. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the Pharises went out, and consulted against him, howe they might destroy him. 
\verseNumber{15}But whe Iesus knew it, he departed thece, and great multitudes folowed him, and he healed the al, 
\verseNumber{16}And charged them in threatning wise, that they should not make him knowen, 
\verseNumber{17}That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by Esaias the Prophet, saying, 
\verseNumber{18}Behold my seruant whom I haue chosen, my beloued in whom my soule deliteth: I wil put my Spirit on him, and he shall shewe iudgement to the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{19}He shall not striue, nor crie, neither shall any man heare his voyce in the streetes. 
\verseNumber{20}A bruised reede shall he not breake, and smoking flaxe shall he not quenche, till he bring forth iudgement vnto victorie. 
\verseNumber{21}And in his Name shall the Gentiles trust. 
\verseNumber{22}Then was brought to him one, possessed with a deuill, both blind, and dumme, and he healed him, so that he which was blind and dumme, both spake and saw. 
\verseNumber{23}And all the people were amased, and saide, Is not this that sonne of Dauid? 
\verseNumber{24}But when the Pharises heard it, they saide, This man casteth the deuils no otherwise out, but through Beelzebub the prince of deuils. 
\verseNumber{25}But Iesus knew their thoughtes, and said to them, Euery kingdome deuided against it selfe, is brought to nought: and euery citie or house, deuided against it selfe, shall not stand. 
\verseNumber{26}So if Satan cast out Satan, he is deuided against himself: how shall then his kingdom endure? 
\verseNumber{27}Also if I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your iudges. 
\verseNumber{28}But if I cast out deuils by ye Spirit of God, then is the kingdome of God come vnto you. 
\verseNumber{29}Els howe can a man enter into a strong mans house and spoyle his goods, except he first bind the strong man, and then spoile his house. 
\verseNumber{30}He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. 
\verseNumber{31}Wherefore I say vnto you, euery sinne and blasphemie shalbe forgiuen vnto men: but the blasphemie against the holy Ghost shall not be forgiuen vnto men. 
\verseNumber{32}And whosoeuer shall speake a word against the Sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but whosoeuer shall speake against the holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen him, neither in this worlde, nor in the worlde to come. 
\verseNumber{33}Either make the tree good, and his fruite good: or els make the tree euill, and his fruite euil: for the tree is knowen by the fruite. 
\verseNumber{34}O generations of vipers, howe can you speake good things, when ye are euill? For of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 
\verseNumber{35}A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good things: and an euill man out of an euill treasure, bringeth forth euill things. 
\verseNumber{36}But I say vnto you, that of euery idle word that men shall speake, they shall giue account thereof at the day of iudgement. 
\verseNumber{37}For by thy wordes thou shalt be iustified, and by thy wordes thou shalt be condemned. 
\verseNumber{38}Then answered certaine of ye Scribes and of the Pharises, saying, Master, we would see a signe of thee. 
\verseNumber{39}But he answered and said to them, An euill and adulterous generation seeketh a signe, but no signe shall be giuen vnto it, saue that signe of the Prophet Ionas. 
\verseNumber{40}For as Ionas was three daies and three nights in the whales belly: so shall the Sonne of man be three daies and three nights in ye heart of the earth. 
\verseNumber{41}The men of Nineue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.

\verseNumber{45}Then he goeth, and taketh vnto him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe, and they enter in, and dwell there: and the ende of that man is worse then the beginning. Euen so shall it be with this wicked generation. 
\verseNumber{46}While he yet spake to ye multitude, beholde, his mother, and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him. 
\verseNumber{47}Then one said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee. 
\verseNumber{48}But he answered, and said to him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 
\verseNumber{49}And he stretched foorth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Beholde my mother and my brethren.

\verseNumber{10}Then the disciples came, and said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? 
\verseNumber{11}And he answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you, to know the secretes of the kingdome of heauen, but to the it is not giue. 
\verseNumber{12}For whosoeuer hath, to him shalbe giuen, and he shall haue abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken away, euen that he hath. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore speake I to them in parables, because they seeing, doe not see: and hearing, they heare not, neither vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{14}So in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which prophecie saieth, By hearing, ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing, ye shall see, and shall not perceiue. 
\verseNumber{15}For this peoples heart is waxed fat, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes they haue winked, lest they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their hearts, and should returne, that I might heale them. 
\verseNumber{16}But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare. 
\verseNumber{17}For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which ye see, and haue not seene them, and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them. 
\verseNumber{18}Heare ye therefore ye parable of ye sower. 
\verseNumber{19}Whensoeuer any man heareth the woorde of that kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, that euil one commeth, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: and this is he which hath receiued the seede by the way side. 
\verseNumber{20}And hee that receiued seede in the stonie grounde, is he which heareth the woorde, and incontinently with ioy receiueth it, 
\verseNumber{21}Yet hath he no roote in himselfe, and dureth but a season: for assoone as tribulation or persecution commeth because of the woorde, by and by he is offended. 
\verseNumber{22}And hee that receiued the seede among thornes, is hee that heareth the woorde: but the care of this worlde, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he is made vnfruitfull. 
\verseNumber{23}But he that receiued the seede in the good ground, is he that heareth the worde, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruite, and bringeth foorth, some an hundreth folde, some sixtie folde, and some thirtie folde. 
\verseNumber{24}Another parable put hee foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man which sowed good seede in his fielde. 
\verseNumber{25}But while men slept, there came his enemie, and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his waie. 
\verseNumber{26}And when the blade was sprong vp, and brought forth fruite, then appeared the tares also. 
\verseNumber{27}Then came the seruaunts of the housholder, and sayd vnto him, Master, sowedst not thou good seede in thy fielde? from whence then hath it tares? 
\verseNumber{28}And hee said to them, Some enuious man hath done this. Then the seruants saide vnto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them vp? 
\verseNumber{29}But he saide, Nay, lest while yee goe about to gather the tares, yee plucke vp also with them the wheat. 
\verseNumber{30}Let both growe together vntill the haruest, and in time of haruest I will say to the reapers, Gather yee first the tares, and binde them in sheaues to burne them: but gather the wheate into my barne. 
\verseNumber{31}Another parable he put foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a graine of mustard seede, which a man taketh and soweth in his fielde: 
\verseNumber{32}Which in deede is the least of all seedes: but when it is growen, it is the greatest among herbes, and it is a tree, so that the birdes of heauen come and builde in the branches thereof. 
\verseNumber{33}Another parable spake hee to them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman taketh and hideth in three pecks of meale, till all be leauened. 
\verseNumber{34}All these thinges spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without parables spake he not to them, 
\verseNumber{35}That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, and will vtter the thinges which haue beene kept secrete from the foundation of the worlde. 
\verseNumber{36}Then sent Iesus the multitude away, and went into the house. And his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of that fielde. 
\verseNumber{37}Then answered he, and saide to them, He that soweth the good seede, is the Sonne of man. 
\verseNumber{38}And the field is the worlde, and the good seede are the children of the kingdome, and the tares are the children of that wicked one. 
\verseNumber{39}And the enemie that soweth them, is the deuill, and the haruest is the end of the worlde, and the reapers be the Angels. 
\verseNumber{40}As then the tares are gathered and burned in ye fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. 
\verseNumber{41}The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie, 
\verseNumber{42}And shall cast them into a fornace of fire. There shalbe wailing and gnashing of teeth. 
\verseNumber{43}Then shall the iust men shine as ye sunne in the kingdome of their Father. Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{44}Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a treasure hid in ye field, which when a man hath found, he hideth it, and for ioy thereof departeth and selleth all that he hath, and buieth that field. 
\verseNumber{45}Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like to a marchant man, that seeketh good pearles, 
\verseNumber{46}Who hauing found a pearle of great price, went and solde all that he had, and bought it. 
\verseNumber{47}Againe, the kingdom of heauen is like vnto a drawe net cast into the sea, that gathereth of all kindes of things. 
\verseNumber{48}Which, when it is full, men draw to lande, and sit and gather the good into vessels, and cast the bad away. 
\verseNumber{49}So shall it be at the end of the world. The Angels shall goe foorth, and seuer the bad from among the iust, 
\verseNumber{50}And shall cast them into a fornace of fire: there shalbe wailing, and gnashing of teeth. 
\verseNumber{51}Iesus saide vnto them, Vnderstand yee all these things? They saide vnto him, Yea, Lord. 
\verseNumber{52}Then sayd hee vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is taught vnto the kingdome of heauen, is like vnto an householder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things both newe and olde. 
\verseNumber{53}And it came to passe, that when Iesus had ended these parables, he departed thence, 
\verseNumber{54}And came into his owne countrey, and taught them in their Synagogue, so that they were astonied, and saide, Whence commeth this wisdome and great woorkes vnto this man? 
\verseNumber{55}Is not this the carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie, and his brethren Iames and Ioses, and Simon and Iudas? 
\verseNumber{56}And are not his sisters all with vs? Whence then hath he all these things? 
\verseNumber{57}And they were offended with him. Then Iesus said to them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house. 
\verseNumber{58}And he did not many great woorkes there, for their vnbeliefes sake.

\chapterNumber{14}At that time Herod the Tetrarche heard of the fame of Iesus, 
\verseNumber{2}And sayde vnto his seruaunts, This is that Iohn Baptist, hee is risen againe from the deade, and therefore great woorkes are wrought by him. 
\verseNumber{3}For Herod had taken Iohn, and bounde him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philips wife. 
\verseNumber{4}For Iohn saide vnto him, It is not lawfull for thee to haue her. 
\verseNumber{5}And when hee woulde haue put him to death, hee feared the multitude, because they counted him as a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{6}But when Herods birth day was kept, the daughter of Herodias daunced before them, and pleased Herod. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore he promised with an othe, that he would giue her whatsoeuer she would aske. 
\verseNumber{8}And shee being before instructed of her mother, sayde, Giue mee here Iohn Baptists head in a platter. 
\verseNumber{9}And the King was sorie: neuerthelesse because of the othe, and them that sate with him at the table, he commanded it to be giuen her, 
\verseNumber{10}And sent, and beheaded Iohn in the prison. 
\verseNumber{11}And his head was brought in a platter, and giuen to the maide, and shee brought it vnto her mother. 
\verseNumber{12}And his disciples came, and tooke vp the bodie, and buried it, and went, and tolde Iesus. 
\verseNumber{13}And when Iesus heard it, hee departed thence by shippe into a desert place apart. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed him on foote out of the cities. 
\verseNumber{14}And Iesus went foorth and sawe a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke. 
\verseNumber{15}And when euen was come, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desart place, and the time is alreadie past: let the multitude depart, that they may goe into the townes, and bye them vitailes. 
\verseNumber{16}But Iesus saide to them, They haue no neede to goe away: giue yee them to eate. 
\verseNumber{17}Then saide they vnto him, Wee haue here but fiue loaues, and two fishes. 
\verseNumber{18}And he saide, Bring them hither to me. 
\verseNumber{19}And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, and tooke the fiue loaues and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen and blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 
\verseNumber{20}And they did all eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, twelue baskets full. 
\verseNumber{21}And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousande men, beside women and litle children. 
\verseNumber{22}And straightway Iesus compelled his disciples to enter into a shippe, and to goe ouer before him, while he sent the multitude away. 
\verseNumber{23}And assoone as hee had sent the multitude away, he went vp into a moutaine alone to pray: and when the euening was come, hee was there alone. 
\verseNumber{24}And the shippe was nowe in the middes of the sea, and was tossed with waues: for it was a contrarie winde. 
\verseNumber{25}And in the fourth watch of the night, Iesus went vnto them, walking on the sea. 
\verseNumber{26}And when his disciples sawe him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit, and cried out for feare. 
\verseNumber{27}But straight way Iesus spake vnto them, saying, Be of good comfort, It is I: be not afraide. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water. 
\verseNumber{29}And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus. 
\verseNumber{30}But when he sawe a mightie winde, he was afraide: and as he began to sinke, he cried, saying, Master, saue me. 
\verseNumber{31}So immediatly Iesus stretched foorth his hande, and caught him, and saide to him, O thou of litle faith, wherefore diddest thou doubt? 
\verseNumber{32}And assoone as they were come into the ship, the winde ceased. 
\verseNumber{33}Then they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, saying, Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{34}And when they were come ouer, they came into the land of Gennezaret. 
\verseNumber{35}And when the men of that place knewe him, they sent out into all that countrey rounde about, and brought vnto him all that were sicke, 
\verseNumber{36}And besought him, that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely: and as many as touched it, were made whole.

\chapterNumber{15}Then came to Iesus the Scribes and Pharises, which were of Hierusalem, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}Why do thy disciples transgresse the tradition of the Elders? for they wash not their hands when they eate bread. 
\verseNumber{3}But he answered and said vnto them, Why doe yee also transgresse the commandement of God by your tradition? 
\verseNumber{4}For God hath commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and he that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 
\verseNumber{5}But ye say, Whosoeuer shall say to father or mother, By the gift that is offered by me, thou maiest haue profite, 
\verseNumber{6}Though hee honour not his father, or his mother, shalbe free: thus haue ye made the commandement of God of no aucthoritie by your tradition. 
\verseNumber{7}O hypocrites, Esaias prophecied well of you, saying, 
\verseNumber{8}This people draweth neere vnto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with the lips, but their heart is farre off from me. 
\verseNumber{9}But in vaine they worship me, teaching for doctrines, mens precepts. 
\verseNumber{10}Then hee called the multitude vnto him, and said to them, Heare and vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{11}That which goeth into the mouth, defileth not the man, but that which commeth out of the mouth, that defileth the man. 
\verseNumber{12}Then came his disciples, and saide vnto him, Perceiuest thou not, that the Pharises are offended in hearing this saying? 
\verseNumber{13}But hee answered and saide, Euery plant which mine heauenly Father hath not planted, shalbe rooted vp. 
\verseNumber{14}Let them alone, they be the blinde leaders of the blinde: and if the blinde leade ye blinde, both shall fall into the ditche. 
\verseNumber{15}Then answered Peter, and said to him, Declare vnto vs this parable. 
\verseNumber{16}Then said Iesus, Are ye yet without vnderstanding? 
\verseNumber{17}Perceiue ye not yet, that whatsoeuer entreth into the mouth, goeth into the bellie, and is cast out into the draught? 
\verseNumber{18}But those thinges which proceede out of the mouth, come from the heart, and they defile the man. 
\verseNumber{19}For out of the heart come euil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, slaunders. 
\verseNumber{20}These are the things, which defile the man: but to eat with vnwashen hands, defileth not ye man. 
\verseNumber{21}And Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon. 
\verseNumber{22}And beholde, a woman a Cananite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying vnto him, Haue mercie on me, O Lord, the sonne of Dauid: my daughter is miserably vexed with a deuil. 
\verseNumber{23}But hee answered her not a worde. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him, saying, Sende her away, for she crieth after vs. 
\verseNumber{24}But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel. 
\verseNumber{25}Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, helpe me. 
\verseNumber{26}And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it to whelps. 
\verseNumber{27}But she said, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that houre. 
\verseNumber{29}So Iesus went away from thence, and came neere vnto the sea of Galile, and went vp into a mountaine and sate downe there. 
\verseNumber{30}And great multitudes came vnto him, hauing with them, halt, blinde, dumme, maymed, and many other, and cast them downe at Iesus feete, and he healed them. 
\verseNumber{31}In so much that the multitude wondered, to see the dumme speake, the maimed whole, the halt to goe, and the blinde to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him, and said, I haue compassion on this multitude, because they haue continued with mee already three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wil not let them depart fasting, least they faint in the way. 
\verseNumber{33}And his disciples saide vnto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wildernes, as should suffice so great a multitude! 
\verseNumber{34}And Iesus said vnto them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen, and a few litle fishes. 
\verseNumber{35}Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the ground, 
\verseNumber{36}And tooke the seuen loaues, and the fishes, and gaue thankes, and brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 
\verseNumber{37}And they did all eate, and were sufficed: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, seuen baskets full. 
\verseNumber{38}And they that had eaten, were foure thousand men, beside women, and litle children. 
\verseNumber{39}Then Iesus sent away the multitude, and tooke ship, and came into the partes of Magdala.

\chapterNumber{16}Then came the Pharises and Sadduces, and did tempt him, desiring him to shew them a signe from heauen. 
\verseNumber{2}But he answered, and said vnto them, When it is euening, ye say, Faire wether: for ye skie is red. 
\verseNumber{3}And in the morning ye say, To day shall be a tempest: for the skie is red and lowring. O hypocrites, ye can discerne the face of the skie, and can ye not discerne the signes of the times? 
\verseNumber{4}The wicked generation, and adulterous seeketh a signe, but there shall no signe be giuen it, but that signe of the Prophet Ionas: so hee left them, and departed. 
\verseNumber{5}And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread with them. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Iesus said vnto them, Take heede and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces. 
\verseNumber{7}And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is because we haue brought no bread. 
\verseNumber{8}But Iesus knowing it, saide vnto them, O ye of litle faith, why reason you thus among your selues, because ye haue brought no bread? 
\verseNumber{9}Doe ye not yet perceiue, neither remember the fiue loaues, when there were fiue thousand men, and how many baskets tooke ye vp? 
\verseNumber{10}Neither the seuen loaues when there were foure thousande men, and howe many baskets tooke ye vp? 
\verseNumber{11}Why perceiue ye not that I said not vnto you concerning bread, that ye shoulde beware of the leauen of the Pharises and Sadduces? 
\verseNumber{12}Then vnderstood they that he had not said that they should beware of the leauen of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharises, and Sadduces. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe when Iesus came into the coastes of Cesarea Philippi, hee asked his disciples, saying, Whome doe men say that I, the sonne of man am? 
\verseNumber{14}And they said, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and others, Ieremias, or one of the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{15}He said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? 
\verseNumber{16}Then Simon Peter answered, and said, Thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{17}And Iesus answered, and saide to him, Blessed art thou, Simon, the sonne of Ionas: for flesh and blood hath not reueiled it vnto thee, but my Father which is in heauen. 
\verseNumber{18}And I say also vnto thee, that thou art Peter, and vpon this rocke I will builde my Church: and ye gates of hell shall not ouercome it. 
\verseNumber{19}And I will giue vnto thee the keyes of the kingdome of heauen, and whatsoeuer thou shalt binde vpon earth, shalbe bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heauen. 
\verseNumber{20}Then hee charged his disciples, that they should tell no man that he was Iesus that Christ. 
\verseNumber{21}From that time foorth Iesus beganne to shewe vnto his disciples, that he must goe vnto Hierusalem, and suffer many thinges of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and Scribes, and be slaine, and be raised againe the thirde day. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him, saying, Master, pitie thy selfe: this shall not be vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{23}Then he turned backe, and said vnto Peter, Get thee behinde me, Satan: thou art an offence vnto me, because thou vnderstandest not the thinges that are of God, but the thinges that are of men. 
\verseNumber{24}Iesus then saide to his disciples, If any man will follow me, let him forsake himselfe: and take vp his crosse, and follow me. 
\verseNumber{25}For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, shall finde it. 
\verseNumber{26}For what shall it profite a man though he should winne the whole worlde, if hee lose his owne soule? or what shall a man giue for recompence of his soule? 
\verseNumber{27}For the Sonne of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels, and then shall he giue to euery man according to his deedes. 
\verseNumber{28}Verely I say vnto you, there bee some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the Sonne of man come in his kingdome.

\verseNumber{3}And beholde, there appeared vnto them Moses, and Elias, talking with him. 
\verseNumber{4}Then answered Peter, and saide to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: if thou wilt, let vs make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 
\verseNumber{5}While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloude shadowed them: and beholde, there came a voyce out of the cloude, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased: heare him. 
\verseNumber{6}And when the disciples heard that, they fell on their faces, and were sore afraide. 
\verseNumber{7}Then Iesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraide. 
\verseNumber{8}And when they lifted vp their eyes, they sawe no man, saue Iesus onely. 
\verseNumber{9}And as they came downe from the moutaine, Iesus charged them, saying, Shewe the vision to no man, vntil the Sonne of man rise againe from the dead. 
\verseNumber{10}And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the Scribes that Elias must first come? 
\verseNumber{11}And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Certeinely Elias must first come, and restore all thinges. 
\verseNumber{12}But I say vnto you that Elias is come alreadie, and they knewe him not, but haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would: likewise shall also the Sonne of man suffer of them. 
\verseNumber{13}Then the disciples perceiued that he spake vnto them of Iohn Baptist. 
\verseNumber{14}And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certaine man, and fell downe at his feete, 
\verseNumber{15}And saide, Master, haue pitie on my sonne: for he is lunatike, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water. 
\verseNumber{16}And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heale him. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! howe long nowe shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me. 
\verseNumber{18}And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and he went out of him: and the childe was healed at that houre. 
\verseNumber{19}Then came the disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 
\verseNumber{20}And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith as much as is a graine of mustarde seede, ye shall say vnto this mountaine, Remooue hence to yonder place, and it shall remoue: and nothing shalbe vnpossible vnto you. 
\verseNumber{21}Howbeit this kinde goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting. 
\verseNumber{22}And they being in Galile, Iesus said vnto them, The Sonne of man shall be deliuered into the handes of men, 
\verseNumber{23}And they shall kill him, but the thirde day shall he rise againe: and they were very sorie. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they were come to Capernaum, they that receiued polle money, came to Peter, and sayd, Doeth not your Master pay polle money? 
\verseNumber{25}He sayd, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Iesus preuented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? Of whome doe the Kings of the earth take tribute, or polle money? of their children, or of strangers? 
\verseNumber{26}Peter sayd vnto him, Of strangers. Then said Iesus vnto him, Then are the children free. 
\verseNumber{27}Neuerthelesse, lest we should offend them: goe to the sea, and cast in an angle, and take the first fish that commeth vp, and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt finde a piece of twentie pence: that take, and giue it vnto them for me and thee.

\chapterNumber{18}The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen? 
\verseNumber{2}And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them, 
\verseNumber{3}And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen. 
\verseNumber{4}Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen. 
\verseNumber{5}And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me. 
\verseNumber{6}But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 
\verseNumber{7}Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.

\verseNumber{9}And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 
\verseNumber{10}See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen. 
\verseNumber{11}For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost. 
\verseNumber{12}How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray? 
\verseNumber{13}And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray: 
\verseNumber{14}So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish. 
\verseNumber{15}Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother. 
\verseNumber{16}But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed. 
\verseNumber{17}And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane. 
\verseNumber{18}Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen. 
\verseNumber{19}Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen. 
\verseNumber{20}For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them. 
\verseNumber{21}Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times? 
\verseNumber{22}Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times. 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants. 
\verseNumber{24}And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents. 
\verseNumber{25}And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed. 
\verseNumber{26}The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all. 
\verseNumber{27}Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette. 
\verseNumber{28}But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 
\verseNumber{29}Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all. 
\verseNumber{30}Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette. 
\verseNumber{31}And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done. 
\verseNumber{32}Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me. 
\verseNumber{33}Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee? 
\verseNumber{34}So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him. 
\verseNumber{35}So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.

\chapterNumber{19}And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galile, and came into ye coasts of Iudea beyond Iordan. 
\verseNumber{2}And great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there. 
\verseNumber{3}Then came vnto him the Pharises tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife vpon euery occasion? 
\verseNumber{4}And he answered and sayd vnto them, Haue ye not read, that hee which made them at the beginning, made them male and female, 
\verseNumber{5}And sayd, For this cause, shall a man leaue father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife, and they which were two shalbe one flesh. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. Let not man therefore put asunder that, which God hath coupled together. 
\verseNumber{7}They said to him, Why did then Moses commaund to giue a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away? 
\verseNumber{8}He sayd vnto them, Moses, because of the hardnesse of your heart, suffered you to put away your wiues: but from the beginning it was not so. 
\verseNumber{9}I say therefore vnto you, that whosoeuer shall put away his wife, except it be for whoredome, and marry another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her which is diuorced, doeth commit adulterie. 
\verseNumber{10}Then sayd his disciples to him, If the matter be so betweene man and wife, it is not good to marry. 
\verseNumber{11}But he sayd vnto them, All men cannot receiue this thing, saue they to whom it is giuen. 
\verseNumber{12}For there are some eunuches, which were so borne of their mothers belly: and there be some eunuches, which be gelded by men: and there be some eunuches, which haue gelded them selues for the kingdome of heauen. He that is able to receiue this, let him receiue it. 
\verseNumber{13}Then were brought to him litle children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. 
\verseNumber{14}But Iesus sayd, Suffer the litle children, and forbid them not to come to me: for of such is the kingdome of heauen. 
\verseNumber{15}And when he had put his hands on them, he departed thence. 
\verseNumber{16}And beholde, one came and sayd vnto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I doe, that I may haue eternall life? 
\verseNumber{17}And he said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, eue God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keepe ye commandemets. 
\verseNumber{18}He sayd to him, Which? And Iesus sayde, These, Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnesse. 
\verseNumber{19}Honour thy father and mother: and thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{20}The yong man sayd vnto him, I haue obserued all these things from my youth: what lacke I yet? 
\verseNumber{21}Iesus sayd vnto him, If thou wilt be perfite, go, sell that thou hast, and giue it to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, and follow me. 
\verseNumber{22}And when the yong man heard that saying, he went away sorowfull: for he had great possessions. 
\verseNumber{23}Then Iesus sayd vnto his disciples, Verely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen. 
\verseNumber{24}And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into ye kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{25}And whe his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amased, saying, Who then can be saued? 
\verseNumber{26}And Iesus behelde them, and sayde vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God all things are possible. 
\verseNumber{27}Then answered Peter, and said to him, Beholde, we haue forsaken all, and followed thee: what therefore shall we haue? 
\verseNumber{28}And Iesus said vnto them, Verely I say to you, that when the Sonne of man shall sit in the throne of his maiestie, ye which folowed me in the regeneration, shall sit also vpon twelue thrones and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel. 
\verseNumber{29}And whosoeuer shall forsake houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Names sake, he shall receiue an hundreth folde more, and shall inherite euerlasting life. 
\verseNumber{30}But many that are first, shalbe last, and the last shalbe first.

\chapterNumber{20}For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine, housholder, which went out at the dawning of the day to hire labourers into his vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{2}And he agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, and sent them into his vineyard. 
\verseNumber{3}And he went out about the third houre, and sawe other standing idle in the market place, 
\verseNumber{4}And sayd vnto them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, I will giue you: and they went their way. 
\verseNumber{5}Againe he went out about the sixt and ninth houre, and did likewise. 
\verseNumber{6}And he went about the eleuenth houre, and found other standing idle, and sayd vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 
\verseNumber{7}They sayd vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He sayd to them, Goe ye also into my vineyard, and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue. 
\verseNumber{8}And when euen was come, the master of the vineyard sayd vnto his steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning at the last, till thou come to the first. 
\verseNumber{9}And they which were hired about ye eleuenth houre, came and receiued euery man a penie. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe when the first came, they supposed that they should receiue more, but they likewise receiued euery man a penie. 
\verseNumber{11}And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the master of the house, 
\verseNumber{12}Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden and heate of the day. 
\verseNumber{13}And hee answered one of them, saying, Friend, I doe thee no wrong: didst thou not agree with me for a penie? 
\verseNumber{14}Take that which is thine owne, and go thy way: I will giue vnto this last, as much as to thee. 
\verseNumber{15}Is it not lawfull for me to do as I will with mine owne? Is thine eye euil, because I am good? 
\verseNumber{16}So the last shalbe first, and the first last: for many are called, but fewe chosen. 
\verseNumber{17}And Iesus went vp to Hierusalem, and tooke the twelue disciples apart in the way, and said vnto them, 
\verseNumber{18}Beholde, wee goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall bee deliuered vnto the chiefe priestes, and vnto the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death, 
\verseNumber{19}And shall deliuer him to the Gentiles, to mocke, and to scourge, and to crucifie him, but the third day he shall rise againe. 
\verseNumber{20}Then came to him the mother of Zebedeus children with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certaine thing of him. 
\verseNumber{21}And he said vnto her, What wouldest thou? She said to him, Graunt that these my two sonnes may sit, the one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy kingdome. 
\verseNumber{22}And Iesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I shalbe baptized with? They said to him, We are able. 
\verseNumber{23}And he said vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of my cup, and shall be baptized with the baptisme, that I am baptized with, but to sit at my right hande, and at my left hand, is not mine to giue: but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared of my Father. 
\verseNumber{24}And when the other ten heard this, they disdained at the two brethren. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore Iesus called them vnto him, and saide, We knowe that the lordes of the Gentiles haue domination ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie ouer them. 
\verseNumber{26}But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, let him be your seruant. 
\verseNumber{27}And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant. 
\verseNumber{28}Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the ransome of many. 
\verseNumber{29}And as they departed from Iericho, a great multitude followed him. 
\verseNumber{30}And beholde, two blinde men, sitting by the way side, when they heard that Iesus passed by, cryed, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs. 
\verseNumber{31}And the multitude rebuked them, because they should holde their peace: but they cried the more, saying, O Lord, the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on vs. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Iesus stoode still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do to you? 
\verseNumber{33}They saide to him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. 
\verseNumber{34}And Iesus mooued with compassion, touched their eyes, and immediatly their eyes receiued sight, and they followed him.

\chapterNumber{21}And when they drewe neere to Hierusalem, and were come to Bethphage, vnto the mount of the Oliues, then sent Iesus two disciples, 
\verseNumber{2}Saying to them, Goe into the towne that is ouer against you, and anon yee shall finde an asse bounde, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them vnto me. 
\verseNumber{3}And if any man say ought vnto you, say ye, that the Lord hath neede of them, and straightway he will let them goe. 
\verseNumber{4}All this was done that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Beholde, thy King commeth vnto thee, meeke and sitting vpon an asse, and a colte, the foale of an asse vsed to the yoke. 
\verseNumber{6}So the disciples went, and did as Iesus had commanded them, 
\verseNumber{7}And brought the asse and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and set him thereon. 
\verseNumber{8}And a great multitude spred their garments in the way: and other cut downe branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. 
\verseNumber{9}Moreouer, the people that went before, and they also that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, Blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord, Hosanna thou which art in the highest heauens. 
\verseNumber{10}And when he was come into Hierusalem, all the citie was mooued, saying, Who is this? 
\verseNumber{11}And the people said, This is Iesus that Prophet of Nazareth in Galile. 
\verseNumber{12}And Iesus went into the Temple of God, and cast out all them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money chagers, and the seates of them that sold doues, 
\verseNumber{13}And said to them, it is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer: but ye haue made it a denne of theeues. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the blinde, and the halt came to him in the Temple, and he healed them. 
\verseNumber{15}But when the chiefe priestes and Scribes sawe the marueiles that hee did, and the children crying in the Temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid, they disdained, 
\verseNumber{16}And said vnto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Iesus said vnto them, Yea: read ye neuer, By the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast made perfite the praise? 
\verseNumber{17}So hee left them, and went out of the citie vnto Bethania, and lodged there. 
\verseNumber{18}And in the morning, as he returned into the citie, he was hungrie, 
\verseNumber{19}And seeing a figge tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaues onely, and said to it, Neuer fruite grow on thee henceforwards. And anon the figge tree withered. 
\verseNumber{20}And when his disciples saw it, they marueiled, saying, How soone is the figge tree withered! 
\verseNumber{21}And Iesus answered and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, if ye haue faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only doe that, which I haue done to the figge tree, but also if ye say vnto this mountaine, Take thy selfe away, and cast thy selfe into the sea, it shalbe done. 
\verseNumber{22}And whatsoeuer ye shall aske in prayer, if ye beleeue, ye shall receiue it. 
\verseNumber{23}And whe he was come into the Temple, the chiefe Priestes, and the Elders of the people came vnto him, as he was teaching, and saide, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie? 
\verseNumber{24}Then Iesus answered and said vnto them, I also will aske of you a certaine thing, which if ye tell me, I likewise will tell you by what authoritie I doe these things. 
\verseNumber{25}The baptisme of Iohn, whence was it? from heauen, or of men? Then they reasoned among themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say vnto vs, Why did ye not then beleeue him? 
\verseNumber{26}And if we say, Of men, we feare the multitude, for all holde Iohn as a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{27}Then they answered Iesus, and said, We can not tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things. 
\verseNumber{28}But what thinke ye? A certaine man had two sonnes, and came to the elder, and saide, Sonne, goe and worke to day in my vineyarde. 
\verseNumber{29}But he answered, and said, I will not: yet afterward he repented himselfe, and went. 
\verseNumber{30}Then came he to the second, and said likewise. And he answered, and said, I will, Syr: yet he went not. 
\verseNumber{31}Whether of them twaine did the will of the father? They saide vnto him, The first. Iesus saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots goe before you into the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{32}For Iohn came vnto you in the way of righteousnes, and yee beleeued him not: but the Publicanes, and the harlots beleeued him, and ye, though ye sawe it, were not mooued with repentance afterward, that ye might beleeue him. 
\verseNumber{33}Heare another parable, There was a certaine housholder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and made a winepresse therein, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey. 
\verseNumber{34}And when the time of the fruite drewe neere, hee sent his seruants to the husbandmen to receiue the fruites thereof. 
\verseNumber{35}And ye husbandmen tooke his seruants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 
\verseNumber{36}Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first: and they did the like vnto them. 
\verseNumber{37}But last of all he sent vnto them his owne sonne, saying, They will reuerence my sonne. 
\verseNumber{38}But when the husbandmen saw the sonne, they saide among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and let vs take his inheritance. 
\verseNumber{39}So they tooke him, and cast him out of the vineyarde, and slewe him. 
\verseNumber{40}When therefore the Lord of the vineyarde shall come, what will hee doe to those husbandmen? 
\verseNumber{41}They saide vnto him, Hee will cruelly destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall deliuer him the fruites in their seasons. 
\verseNumber{42}Iesus saide vnto them, Read ye neuer in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head of the corner? This was the Lordes doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes. 
\verseNumber{43}Therefore say I vnto you, The kingdome of God shalbe taken from you, and shalbe giuen to a nation, which shall bring foorth the fruites thereof. 
\verseNumber{44}And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, he shalbe broken: but on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will dash him a pieces. 
\verseNumber{45}And when the chiefe Priestes and Pharises had heard his parables, they perceiued that hee spake of them. 
\verseNumber{46}And they seeking to laye handes on him, feared the people, because they tooke him as a Prophet. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{22}Then Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe in parables, saying, 
\verseNumber{2}The kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King which maried his sonne, 
\verseNumber{3}And sent foorth his seruants, to call them that were bidde to the wedding, but they woulde not come. 
\verseNumber{4}Againe hee sent foorth other seruants, saying. Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner: mine oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all thinges are readie: come vnto the mariage. 
\verseNumber{5}But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, and another about his marchandise. 
\verseNumber{6}And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them sharpely, and slewe them. 
\verseNumber{7}But when the King heard it, he was wroth, and sent foorth his warriers, and destroyed those murtherers, and burnt vp their citie. 
\verseNumber{8}Then saide hee to his seruants, Truely the wedding is prepared: but they which were bidden, were not worthy. 
\verseNumber{9}Go ye therefore out into the high wayes, and as many as ye finde, bid them to the mariage. 
\verseNumber{10}So those seruantes went out into the hie wayes, and gathered together all that euer they found, both good and bad: so the wedding was furnished with ghestes. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the King came in, to see the ghestes, and sawe there a man which had not on a wedding garment. 
\verseNumber{12}And he sayd vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, and hast not on a wedding garment? And he was speachlesse. 
\verseNumber{13}Then sayd the King to the seruants, Binde him hand and foote: take him away, and cast him into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth. 
\verseNumber{14}For many are called, but fewe chosen. 
\verseNumber{15}Then went the Pharises and tooke counsell how they might tangle him in talke. 
\verseNumber{16}And they sent vnto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we knowe that thou art true, and teachest the way of God truely, neither carest for any man: for thou considerest not the person of men. 
\verseNumber{17}Tell vs therefore, how thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not? 
\verseNumber{18}But Iesus perceiued their wickednes, and sayd, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 
\verseNumber{19}Shewe me the tribute money. And they brought him a peny. 
\verseNumber{20}And he sayde vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 
\verseNumber{21}They sayd vnto him, Cesars. Then sayd he vnto them, Giue therefore to Cesar, the things which are Cesars, and giue vnto God, those things which are Gods. 
\verseNumber{22}And when they heard it, they marueiled, and left him, and went their way. 
\verseNumber{23}The same day the Sadduces came to him (which say that there is no resurrection) and asked him, 
\verseNumber{24}Saying, Master, Moses sayd, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marie his wife by the right of alliance, and raise vp seede vnto his brother. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first maried a wife, and deceased: and hauing none yssue, left his wife vnto his brother. 
\verseNumber{26}Likewise also the second, and the third, vnto the seuenth. 
\verseNumber{27}And last of all the woman died also. 
\verseNumber{28}Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for all had her. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Ye are deceiued, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God. 
\verseNumber{30}For in the resurrection they neither marie wiues, nor wiues are bestowed in mariage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen. 
\verseNumber{31}And concerning the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read what is spoken vuto you of God, saying, 
\verseNumber{32}I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing. 
\verseNumber{33}And when the multitude heard it, they were astonied at his doctrine. 
\verseNumber{34}But when the Pharises had heard, that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they assembled together. 
\verseNumber{35}And one of them, which was an expounder of the Lawe, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 
\verseNumber{36}Master, which is ye great commandement in the Lawe? 
\verseNumber{37}Iesus sayd to him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, with all thy soule, and with all thy minde. 
\verseNumber{38}This is the first and the great commandement. 
\verseNumber{39}And the second is like vnto this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{40}On these two commandements hangeth the whole Lawe, and the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{41}While the Pharises were gathered together, Iesus asked them, 
\verseNumber{42}Saying, What thinke ye of Christ? whose sonne is he? They sayd vnto him, Dauids. 
\verseNumber{43}He sayd vnto them, How then doeth Dauid in spirit call him Lord, saying, 
\verseNumber{44}The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole? 
\verseNumber{45}If then Dauid call him Lord, howe is he his sonne? 
\verseNumber{46}And none could answere him a worde, neither durst any from that day foorth aske him any moe questions.

\chapterNumber{23}Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 
\verseNumber{2}Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate. 
\verseNumber{3}All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe: but after their workes doe not: for they say, and doe not. 
\verseNumber{4}For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not moue them with one of their fingers. 
\verseNumber{5}All their workes they doe for to be seene of men: for they make their phylacteries broad, and make long the frindges of their garments, 
\verseNumber{6}And loue the chiefe place at feastes, and to haue the chiefe seates in the assemblies, 
\verseNumber{7}And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 
\verseNumber{8}But be not ye called, Rabbi: for one is your doctour, to wit, Christ, and all ye are brethren. 
\verseNumber{9}And call no man your father vpon the earth: for there is but one, your father which is in heauen. 
\verseNumber{10}Be not called doctours: for one is your doctour, euen Christ.

\verseNumber{12}For whosoeuer will exalt himselfe, shall be brought lowe: and whosoeuer will humble himselfe, shalbe exalted. 
\verseNumber{13}Wo therefore be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites, because ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: for ye your selues go not in, neither suffer ye them that would enter, to come in. 
\verseNumber{14}Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers: wherefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation. 
\verseNumber{15}Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye compasse sea and land to make one of your profession: and when he is made, ye make him two folde more the childe of hell, then you your selues. 
\verseNumber{16}Wo be vnto you blinde guides, which say, Whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the golde of the Temple, he offendeth. 
\verseNumber{17}Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the golde, or the Temple that sanctifieth the golde? 
\verseNumber{18}And whosoeuer sweareth by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the offering that is vpon it, offendeth. 
\verseNumber{19}Ye fooles and blinde, whether is greater, the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering? 
\verseNumber{20}Whosoeuer therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 
\verseNumber{21}And whosoeuer sweareth by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 
\verseNumber{22}And he that sweareth by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 
\verseNumber{23}Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye tithe mynt, and annyse, and cummyn, and leaue the weightier matters of the law, as iudgement, and mercy and fidelitie. These ought ye to haue done, and not to haue left the other.

\verseNumber{26}Thou blinde Pharise, cleanse first the inside of the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be cleane also. 
\verseNumber{27}Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are like vnto whited tombes, which appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and all filthines. 
\verseNumber{28}So are ye also: for outwarde ye appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{29}Wo be vnto you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 
\verseNumber{30}And say, If we had bene in the dayes of our fathers, we would not haue bene partners with them in the blood of the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{31}So then ye be witnesses vnto your selues, that ye are the children of them that murthered the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{32}Fulfill ye also ye measure of your fathers. 
\verseNumber{33}O serpents, the generation of vipers, howe should ye escape the damnation of hell! 
\verseNumber{34}Wherefore beholde, I send vnto you Prophets, and wise men, and Scribes, and of them ye shall kill and crucifie: and of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute from citie to citie, 
\verseNumber{35}That vpon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed vpon the earth, from the blood of Abel the righteous, vnto the blood of Zacharias the sonne of Barachias, whome ye slewe betweene the Temple and the altar. 
\verseNumber{36}Verely I say vnto you, all these things shall come vpon this generation. 
\verseNumber{37}Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent to thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her chickins vnder her wings, and ye would not!

\chapterNumber{24}And Iesus went out, and departed from the Temple, and his disciples came to him, to shewe him the building of the Temple. 
\verseNumber{2}And Iesus sayd vnto them, See ye not all these things? Verely I say vnto you, there shall not be here left a stone vpon a stone, that shall not be cast downe. 
\verseNumber{3}And as he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, his disciples came vnto him apart, saying, Tell vs when these things shall be, and what signe shalbe of thy comming, and of the ende of the world. 
\verseNumber{4}And Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, Take heede that no man deceiue you. 
\verseNumber{5}For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many. 
\verseNumber{6}And ye shall heare of warres, and rumours of warres: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet. 
\verseNumber{7}For nation shall rise against nation, and realme against realme, and there shalbe famine, and pestilence, and earthquakes in diuers places. 
\verseNumber{8}All these are but ye beginning of sorowes. 
\verseNumber{9}Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated of all nations for my Names sake. 
\verseNumber{10}And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
\verseNumber{11}And many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceiue many. 
\verseNumber{12}And because iniquitie shalbe increased, the loue of many shalbe colde. 
\verseNumber{13}But he that endureth to the ende, he shalbe saued. 
\verseNumber{14}And this Gospel of the kingdome shalbe preached through the whole world for a witnes vnto all nations, and then shall the end come. 
\verseNumber{15}When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, set in the holy place (let him that readeth consider it.) 
\verseNumber{16}Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines. 
\verseNumber{17}Let him which is on the house top, not come downe to fetch any thing out of his house. 
\verseNumber{18}And he that is in the fielde, let not him returne backe to fetch his clothes. 
\verseNumber{19}And woe shalbe to them that are with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes. 
\verseNumber{20}But pray that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{21}For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not from the beginning of the worlde to this time, nor shalbe. 
\verseNumber{22}And except those dayes should be shortened, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake those dayes shalbe shortened. 
\verseNumber{23}Then if any shall say vnto you, Loe, here is Christ, or there, beleeue it not. 
\verseNumber{24}For there shall arise false Christes, and false prophets, and shall shewe great signes and wonders, so that if it were possible, they should deceiue the very elect. 
\verseNumber{25}Beholde, I haue tolde you before. 
\verseNumber{26}Wherefore if they shall say vnto you, Beholde, he is in the desert, goe not forth: Beholde, he is in the secret places, beleeue it not. 
\verseNumber{27}For as the lightning commeth out of the East, and is seene into the West, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be. 
\verseNumber{28}For wheresoeuer a dead carkeis is, thither will the Egles be gathered together. 
\verseNumber{29}And immediatly after ye tribulations of those dayes, shall the sunne be darkened, and the moone shall not giue her light, and the starres shall fal from heauen, and ye powers of heaue shalbe shake. 
\verseNumber{30}And then shall appeare the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen: and then shall all the kinreds of the earth mourne, and they shall see the Sonne of man come in the cloudes of heauen with power and great glorie. 
\verseNumber{31}And he shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect, from the foure windes, and from the one ende of the heauens vnto the other. 
\verseNumber{32}Now learne the parable of the figge tree: when her bough is yet tender, and it putteth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere. 
\verseNumber{33}So likewise ye, when ye see all these things, know that the kingdom of God is neere, eue at ye doores. 
\verseNumber{34}Verely I say vnto you, this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done. 
\verseNumber{35}Heauen and earth shall passe away: but my wordes shall not passe away. 
\verseNumber{36}But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no not the Angels of heauen, but my father only. 
\verseNumber{37}But as the dayes of Noe were, so likewise shall the comming of the Sonne of man be. 
\verseNumber{38}For as in the dayes before the flood, they did eate and drinke, marrie, and giue in mariage, vnto the day that Noe entred into the Arke, 
\verseNumber{39}And knewe nothing, till the flood came, and tooke them all away, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be. 
\verseNumber{40}Then two shall be in the fieldes, the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused. 
\verseNumber{41}Two women shalbe grinding at ye mill: the one shalbe receiued, and the other shalbe refused. 
\verseNumber{42}Watch therefore: for ye knowe not what houre your master will come. 
\verseNumber{43}Of this be sure, that if the good man of the house knewe at what watch the thiefe would come, he woulde surely watch, and not suffer his house to be digged through. 
\verseNumber{44}Therefore be ye also ready: for in the houre that ye thinke not, will the Sonne of man come. 
\verseNumber{45}Who then is a faithfull seruaunt and wise, whom his master hath made ruler ouer his household, to giue them meate in season? 
\verseNumber{46}Blessed is that seruant, whom his master when he commeth, shall finde so doing. 
\verseNumber{47}Verely I say vnto you, he shall make him ruler ouer all his goods. 
\verseNumber{48}But if that euil seruant shall say in his heart, My master doth deferre his comming, 
\verseNumber{49}And begin to smite his fellowes, and to eate, and to drinke with the drunken, 
\verseNumber{50}That seruaunts master will come in a day, when he looketh not for him, and in an houre that he is not ware of, 
\verseNumber{51}And will cut him off, and giue him his portion with hypocrites: there shalbe weeping, and gnashing of teeth.

\chapterNumber{25}Then the kingdome of heauen shalbe likened vnto tenne virgins, which tooke their lampes, and went foorth to meete the bridegrome. 
\verseNumber{2}And fiue of them were wise, and fiue foolish. 
\verseNumber{3}The foolish tooke their lampes, but tooke none oyle with them. 
\verseNumber{4}But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe while the bridegrome taried long, all slumbred and slept. 
\verseNumber{6}And at midnight there was a crie made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth: goe out to meete him. 
\verseNumber{7}Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes. 
\verseNumber{8}And the foolish said to the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are out. 
\verseNumber{9}But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there will not be ynough for vs and you: but goe ye rather to them that sell, and bye for your selues. 
\verseNumber{10}And while they went to bye, the bridegrome came: and they that were readie, went in with him to the wedding, and the gate was shut. 
\verseNumber{11}Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs. 
\verseNumber{12}But he answered, and said, Verely I say vnto you, I knowe you not. 
\verseNumber{13}Watch therfore: for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, when the sonne of man will come. 
\verseNumber{14}For the kingdome of heauen is as a man that going into a strange countrey, called his seruants, and deliuered to them his goods. 
\verseNumber{15}And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, and to an other two, and to another one, to euery man after his own ability, and straightway went from home. 
\verseNumber{16}Then he that had receiued the fiue talents, went and occupied with them, and gained other fiue talents. 
\verseNumber{17}Likewise also, he that receiued two, he also gained other two. 
\verseNumber{18}But he that receiued that one, went and digged it in the earth, and hid his masters money. 
\verseNumber{19}But after a long season, the master of those seruants came, and reckoned with them. 
\verseNumber{20}Then came he that had receiued fiue talents, and brought other fiue talents, saying, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents: behold, I haue gained with them other fiue talents. 
\verseNumber{21}Then his master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy. 
\verseNumber{22}Also he that had receiued two talents, came, and said, Master, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talets more. 
\verseNumber{23}His master saide vnto him, It is well done good seruant, and faithfull, Thou hast bene faithfull in litle, I will make thee ruler ouer much: enter into thy masters ioy. 
\verseNumber{24}Then he which had receiued the one talent, came, and said, Master, I knewe that thou wast an hard man, which reapest where thou sowedst not, and gatherest where thou strawedst not: 
\verseNumber{25}I was therefore afraide, and went, and hid thy talent in the earth: behold, thou hast thine owne. 
\verseNumber{26}And his master answered, and said vnto him, Thou euill seruant, and slouthfull, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I strawed not. 
\verseNumber{27}Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to ye exchangers, and then at my comming should I haue receiued mine owne with vantage. 
\verseNumber{28}Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath tenne talents. 
\verseNumber{29}For vnto euery man that hath, it shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance, and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken away. 
\verseNumber{30}Cast therefore that vnprofitable seruant into vtter darkenes: there shalbe weeping and gnasshing of teeth. 
\verseNumber{31}And when the Sonne of man commeth in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall he sit vpon the throne of his glorie, 
\verseNumber{32}And before him shalbe gathered all nations, and he shall seperate them one from another, as a shepheard separateth the sheepe from ye goates. 
\verseNumber{33}And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, and the goates on the left. 
\verseNumber{34}Then shall ye king say to them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my father: take the inheritance of the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 
\verseNumber{35}For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in vnto you. 
\verseNumber{36}I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me. 
\verseNumber{37}Then shall the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when sawe we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or a thirst, and gaue thee drinke? 
\verseNumber{38}And when sawe we thee a stranger, and tooke thee in vnto vs? or naked, and clothed thee? 
\verseNumber{39}Or when sawe we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee? 
\verseNumber{40}And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethre, ye haue done it to me. 
\verseNumber{41}Then shall he say vnto them on ye left hand, Depart from me ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, which is prepared for the deuill and his angels. 
\verseNumber{42}For I was an hungred, and ye gaue me no meate: I thirsted, and ye gaue me no drinke:

\chapterNumber{26}And it came to passe, when Iesus had finished all these sayings, he saide vnto his disciples, 
\verseNumber{2}Ye know that after two dayes is ye Passeouer, and the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered to be crucified. 
\verseNumber{3}Then assembled together the chiefe Priests, and the Scribes, and the Elders of ye people into the hall of the high Priest called Caiaphas: 
\verseNumber{4}And consulted together that they might take Iesus by subtiltie, and kill him. 
\verseNumber{5}But they sayd, Not on the feast day, least any vprore be among the people. 
\verseNumber{6}And when Iesus was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, 
\verseNumber{7}There came vnto him a woman, which had a boxe of very costly oyntment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at the table. 
\verseNumber{8}And when his disciples sawe it, they had indignation, saying, What needed this waste? 
\verseNumber{9}For this oyntment might haue bene solde for much, and bene giuen to the poore. 
\verseNumber{10}And Iesus knowing it, sayde vnto them, Why trouble yee the woman? for shee hath wrought a good woorke vpon me. 
\verseNumber{11}For yee haue the poore alwayes with you, but me shall yee not haue alwaies. 
\verseNumber{12}For in that shee powred this oyntment on my bodie, shee did it to burie me. 
\verseNumber{13}Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall bee preached throughout all the worlde, there shall also this that shee hath done, be spoken of for a memoriall of her. 
\verseNumber{14}Then one of the twelue, called Iudas Iscariot, went vnto the chiefe Priestes, 
\verseNumber{15}And said, What will ye giue me, and I will deliuer him vnto you? and they appoynted vnto him thirtie pieces of siluer. 
\verseNumber{16}And from that time, he sought opportunitie to betraie him. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe on the first day of the feast of vnleauened bread the disciples came to Iesus, saying vnto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eate the Passeouer? 
\verseNumber{18}And he said, Goe yee into the citie to such a man, and say to him, The master saieth, My time is at hande: I will keepe the Passeouer at thine house with my disciples. 
\verseNumber{19}And the disciples did as Iesus had giuen them charge, and made readie the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{20}So when the Euen was come, hee sate downe with the twelue. 
\verseNumber{21}And as they did eate, he sayde, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betraie me. 
\verseNumber{22}And they were exceeding sorowfull, and began euery one of them to say vnto him, Is it I, Master? 
\verseNumber{23}And hee answered and sayde, Hee that dippeth his hande with me in the dish, hee shall betraie me. 
\verseNumber{24}Surely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe be to that man, by whom the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had bene good for that man, if hee had neuer bene borne. 
\verseNumber{25}Then Iudas which betraied him, answered and sayde, Is it I, Master? He sayde vnto him, Thou hast sayd it. 
\verseNumber{26}And as they did eate, Iesus tooke the bread, and when he had blessed, he brake it, and gaue it to the disciples, and sayd, Take, eate: this is my bodie. 
\verseNumber{27}Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thankes, he gaue it them, saying, Drinke ye all of it. 
\verseNumber{28}For this is my blood of the Newe Testament, that is shedde for many, for the remission of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{29}I say vnto you, that I will not drinke henceforth of this fruit of the vine vntil that day, when I shall drinke it new with you in my Fathers kingdome. 
\verseNumber{30}And when they had sung a Psalme, they went out into the mount of Oliues. 
\verseNumber{31}Then saide Iesus vnto them, All yee shall be offended by me this night: for it is written, I wil smite the shepheard, and the sheepe of the flocke shalbe scattered. 
\verseNumber{32}But after I am risen againe, I will go before you into Galile. 
\verseNumber{33}But Peter aunswered, and sayde vnto him, Though that al men should be offended by thee, yet will I neuer be offended. 
\verseNumber{34}Iesus sayde vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, that this night, before the cocke crow, thou shalt denie me thrise. 
\verseNumber{35}Peter saide vnto him, Though I should die with thee, I will in no case denie thee. Likewise also sayd all the disciples. 
\verseNumber{36}Then went Iesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane, and said vnto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I goe, and pray yonder. 
\verseNumber{37}And hee tooke vnto him Peter, and the two sonnes of Zebedeus, and began to waxe sorowfull, and grieuously troubled. 
\verseNumber{38}Then sayde Iesus vnto them, My soule is very heauie, euen vnto the death: tarie yee here, and watch with me. 
\verseNumber{39}So hee went a litle further, and fell on his face, and praied, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt. 
\verseNumber{40}After, hee came vnto the disciples, and founde them a sleepe, and sayde to Peter, What? coulde yee not watch with me one houre? 
\verseNumber{41}Watch, and praie, that yee enter not into tentation: the spirit in deede is readie, but the flesh is weake. 
\verseNumber{42}Againe he went away the second time, and praied, saying, O my Father, if this cuppe can not passe away from mee, but that I must drinke it, thy will be done. 
\verseNumber{43}And he came, and founde them a sleepe againe, for their eyes were heauie. 
\verseNumber{44}So he left them and went away againe, and praied the third time, saying the same woordes. 
\verseNumber{45}Then came he to his disciples, and said vnto them, Sleepe henceforth, and take your rest: behold, the houre is at hand, and the Sonne of man is giuen into the hands of sinners. 
\verseNumber{46}Rise, let vs goe: beholde, hee is at hande that betraieth me. 
\verseNumber{47}And while hee yet spake, loe Iudas, one of the twelue, came, and with him a great multitude with swordes and staues, from the high Priests and Elders of the people. 
\verseNumber{48}Now he that betraied him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomesoeuer I shall kisse, that is he, laie holde on him. 
\verseNumber{49}And forthwith he came to Iesus, and sayd, God saue thee, Master, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{50}Then Iesus sayde vnto him, Friende, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laide hands on Iesus, and tooke him. 
\verseNumber{51}And behold, one of them which were with Iesus, stretched out his hand, and drewe his sworde, and strooke a seruaunt of the high Priest, and smote off his eare. 
\verseNumber{52}Then sayde Iesus vnto him, Put vp thy sworde into his place: for all that take the sworde, shall perish with the sworde. 
\verseNumber{53}Either thinkest thou, that I can not now pray to my Father, and he will giue me moe then twelue legions of Angels? 
\verseNumber{54}Howe then shoulde the Scriptures bee fulfilled, which say, that it must be so? 
\verseNumber{55}The same houre sayde Iesus to the multitude, Ye be come out as it were against a thiefe, with swordes and staues to take mee: I sate daily teaching in the Temple among you, and yee tooke me not. 
\verseNumber{56}But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsooke him, and fled. 
\verseNumber{57}And they tooke Iesus, and led him to Caiaphas the hie Priest, where the Scribes and the Elders were assembled. 
\verseNumber{58}And Peter followed him a farre off vnto the hie Priestes hall, and went in, and sate with the seruants to see the ende. 
\verseNumber{59}Nowe the chiefe Priestes and the Elders, and all the whole councill sought false witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death. 
\verseNumber{60}But they founde none, and though many false witnesses came, yet founde they none: but at the last came two false witnesses, 
\verseNumber{61}And saide, This man saide, I can destroie the Temple of God, and build it in three daies. 
\verseNumber{62}Then the chiefe Priest arose, and sayde to him, Answerest thou nothing? What is the matter that these men witnesse against thee? 
\verseNumber{63}But Iesus helde his peace. Then the chiefe Priest answered, and saide to him, I charge thee sweare vnto vs by the liuing God, to tell vs, If thou be that Christ the Sonne of God, or no. 
\verseNumber{64}Iesus saide to him, Thou hast saide it: neuerthelesse I say vnto you, hereafter shall ye see the Sonne of man, sitting at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the cloudes of the heauen. 
\verseNumber{65}Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, saying, Hee hath blasphemed, what haue wee any more neede of witnesses? beholde: nowe yee haue heard his blasphemie. 
\verseNumber{66}What thinke yee? They answered, and said, He is guiltie of death. 
\verseNumber{67}Then spet they in his face, and buffeted him, and other smote him with roddes, 
\verseNumber{68}Saying, Prophecie to vs, O Christ, Who is he that smote thee? 
\verseNumber{69}Peter sate without in the hall, and a maide came to him, saying, Thou also wast with Iesus of Galile: 
\verseNumber{70}But hee denied before them all, saying, I wote not what thou saiest. 
\verseNumber{71}And when hee went out into the porche, another maide sawe him, and sayde vnto them that were there, This man was also with Iesus of Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{72}And againe he denied with an othe, saying, I knowe not the man. 
\verseNumber{73}So after a while, came vnto him they that stoode by, and sayde vnto Peter, Surely thou art also one of them: for euen thy speache bewraieth thee. 
\verseNumber{74}Then began hee to curse himselfe, and to sweare, saying, I knowe not the man. And immediately the cocke crewe. 
\verseNumber{75}Then Peter remembred the wordes of Iesus, which had sayde vnto him, Before the cocke crowe thou shalt denie me thrise. So he went out, and wept bitterly.

\chapterNumber{27}When the morning was come, all the chiefe Priests, and the elders of the people tooke counsell against Iesus, to put him to death, 
\verseNumber{2}And led him away bounde, and deliuered him vnto Pontius Pilate the gouernour. 
\verseNumber{3}Then when Iudas which betraied him, sawe that hee was condemned, hee repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priestes, and Elders, 
\verseNumber{4}Saying, I haue sinned, betraying the innocent bloud. But they sayde, What is that to vs? see thou to it. 
\verseNumber{5}And when hee had cast downe the siluer pieces in the Temple, hee departed, and went, and hanged himselfe. 
\verseNumber{6}And the chiefe Priestes tooke the siluer pieces, and sayde, It is not lawfull for vs to put them into the treasure, because it is the price of bloud. 
\verseNumber{7}And they tooke counsell, and bought with them a potters fielde, for the buriall of strangers. 
\verseNumber{8}Wherefore that field is called, The field of bloud, vntill this day.

\verseNumber{11}And Iesus stood before ye gouernour, and the gouernour asked him, saying, Art thou that King of the Iewes? Iesus said vnto him, Thou sayest it.

\verseNumber{13}Then saide Pilate vnto him, Hearest thou not howe many things they lay against thee?

\verseNumber{16}And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas. 
\verseNumber{17}When they were then gathered together, Pilate said vnto the, Whether will ye that I let loose vnto you Barabbas, or Iesus which is called Christ? 
\verseNumber{18}(For he knewe well, that for enuie they had deliuered him. 
\verseNumber{19}Also when he was set downe vpon the iudgement seate, his wife sent to him, saying, Haue thou nothing to do with that iust man: for I haue suffered many things this day in a dreame by reason of him.)

\verseNumber{21}Then the gouernour answered, and said vnto them, Whether of the twaine will ye that I let loose vnto you? And they said, Barabbas. 
\verseNumber{22}Pilate said vnto them, What shall I do then with Iesus, which is called Christ? They all said to him, Let him be crucified. 
\verseNumber{23}Then saide the gouernour, But what euill hath he done? Then they cryed the more, saying, Let him be crucified. 
\verseNumber{24}When Pilate saw that he auailed nothing, but that more tumult was made, he tooke water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this iust man: looke you to it. 
\verseNumber{25}Then answered all the people, and saide, His bloud be on vs, and on our children. 
\verseNumber{26}Thus let he Barabbas loose vnto them, and scourged Iesus, and deliuered him to be crucified. 
\verseNumber{27}Then the souldiers of the gouernour tooke Iesus into the common hall, and gathered about him the whole band, 
\verseNumber{28}And they stripped him, and put about him a skarlet robe, 
\verseNumber{29}And platted a crowne of thornes, and put it vpon his head, and a reede in his right hand, and bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, saying, God saue thee King of the Iewes, 
\verseNumber{30}And spitted vpon him, and tooke a reede, and smote him on the head. 
\verseNumber{31}Thus when they had mocked him, they tooke the robe from him, and put his owne rayment on him, and led him away to crucifie him. 
\verseNumber{32}And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, named Simon: him they compelled to beare his crosse. 
\verseNumber{33}And when they came vnto the place called Golgotha, (that is to say, the place of dead mens skulles) 
\verseNumber{34}They gaue him vineger to drinke, mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drinke. 
\verseNumber{35}And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, and did cast lottes, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Prophet, They deuided my garments among them, and vpon my vesture did cast lottes. 
\verseNumber{36}And they sate, and watched him there. 
\verseNumber{37}They set vp also ouer his head his cause written, THIS IS IESVS THE KING OF THE IEVVES. 
\verseNumber{38}And there were two theeues crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. 
\verseNumber{39}And they that passed by, reuiled him, wagging their heades, 
\verseNumber{40}And saying, Thou that destroyest ye Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, saue thy selfe: if thou be ye Sonne of God, come downe from ye crosse. 
\verseNumber{41}Likewise also the hie Priests mocking him, with the Scribes, and Elders, and Pharises, said, 
\verseNumber{42}He saued others, but he cannot saue him selfe: if he be ye King of Israel, let him now come downe from ye crosse, and we will beleeue in him. 
\verseNumber{43}He trusted in God, let him deliuer him nowe, if he will haue him: for he saide, I am the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{44}The selfe same thing also ye theeues which were crucified with him, cast in his teeth. 
\verseNumber{45}Now from ye sixt houre was there darkenesse ouer all the land, vnto the ninth houre. 
\verseNumber{46}And about ye ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loud voyce, saying, Eli, Eli, lamasabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 
\verseNumber{47}And some of them that stoode there, when they heard it, said, This man calleth Elias. 
\verseNumber{48}And straightway one of them ran, and tooke a spondge, and filled it with vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke. 
\verseNumber{49}Other said, Let be: let vs see, if Elias wil come and saue him. 
\verseNumber{50}Then Iesus cryed againe with a loude voyce, and yeelded vp the ghost. 
\verseNumber{51}And behold, the vayle of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the top to the bottome, and the earth did quake, and the stones were cloue. 
\verseNumber{52}And the graues did open themselues, and many bodies of the Saintes, which slept, arose, 
\verseNumber{53}And came out of the graues after his resurrection, and went into the holy citie, and appeared vnto many. 
\verseNumber{54}When the Centurion, and they that were with him watching Iesus, saw the earthquake, and the thinges that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truely this was the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{55}And many women were there, beholding him a farre off, which had folowed Iesus from Galile, ministring vnto him. 
\verseNumber{56}Among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Ioses, and the mother of Zebedeus sonnes. 
\verseNumber{57}And when the euen was come, there came a riche man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who had also himselfe bene Iesus disciple. 
\verseNumber{58}He went to Pilate, and asked ye body of Iesus. Then Pilate commanded ye body to be deliuered. 
\verseNumber{59}So Ioseph tooke the body, and wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth, 
\verseNumber{60}And put it in his new tombe, which he had hewen out in a rocke, and rolled a great stone to the doore of the sepulchre, and departed. 
\verseNumber{61}And there was Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie sitting ouer against the sepulchre. 
\verseNumber{62}Nowe the next day that followed the Preparation of the Sabbath, the hie Priestes and Pharises assembled to Pilate, 
\verseNumber{63}And said, Syr, we remember that that deceiuer saide, while he was yet aliue, Within three dayes I will rise. 
\verseNumber{64}Command therefore, that the sepulchre be made sure vntill the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steale him away, and say vnto the people, He is risen from the dead: so shall the last errour be worse then the first. 
\verseNumber{65}Then Pilate saide vnto them, Ye haue a watch: goe, and make it sure as ye knowe. 
\verseNumber{66}And they went, and made the sepulchre sure with the watch, and sealed the stone. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{28}Now in the end of the Sabbath, when the first day of ye weeke began to dawne, Marie Magdalene, and the other Marie came to see the sepulchre, 
\verseNumber{2}And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the Angel of the Lord descended from heauen, and came and rolled backe the stone from the doore, and sate vpon it. 
\verseNumber{3}And his countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snowe. 
\verseNumber{4}And for feare of him, the keepers were astonied, and became as dead men. 
\verseNumber{5}But the Angel answered, and said to the women, Feare ye not: for I know that ye seeke Iesus which was crucified: 
\verseNumber{6}He is not here, for he is risen; as he saide: come, see the place where the Lord was laid, 
\verseNumber{7}And go quickly, and tel his disciples that he is risen from ye dead: and behold, he goeth before you into Galile: there ye shall see him: loe, I haue told you. 
\verseNumber{8}So they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with feare and great ioye, and did runne to bring his disciples worde. 
\verseNumber{9}And as they wet to tel his disciples, behold, Iesus also met the, saying, God saue you. And they came, and tooke him by the feete, and worshipped him. 
\verseNumber{10}Then said Iesus vnto them, Be not afraide. Goe, and tell my brethren, that they goe into Galile, and there shall they see me. 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe when they were gone, beholde, some of the watch came into the citie, and shewed vnto the hie Priestes all ye things that were done. 
\verseNumber{12}And they gathered them together with the Elders, and tooke counsell, and gaue large money vnto the souldiers, 
\verseNumber{13}Saying, Say, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 
\verseNumber{14}And if this matter come before the gouernour to be heard, we will perswade him, and so vse the matter that you shall not neede to care. 
\verseNumber{15}So they tooke the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is noysed among the Iewes vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{16}Then ye eleuen disciples wet into Galile, into a mountaine, where Iesus had appointed the. 
\verseNumber{17}And when they sawe him, they worshipped him: but some douted. 
\verseNumber{18}And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, saying, All power is giuen vnto me, in heauen, and in earth. 
\verseNumber{19}Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and the Sonne, and the holy Ghost, 
\verseNumber{20}Teaching them to obserue all things, whatsoeuer I haue commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, vntill the ende of the worlde, Amen.

\BibleMainTitle{THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. MARK }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}The beginning of the Gospel of Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God: 
\verseNumber{2}As it is written in the Prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 
\verseNumber{3}The voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse is, Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight. 
\verseNumber{4}Iohn did baptize in the wildernesse, and preach the baptisme of amendment of life, for remission of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{5}And al ye countrey of Iudea, and they of Hierusalem went out vnto him, and were all baptized of him in the riuer Iordan, confessing their sinnes. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe Iohn was clothed with camels heare, and with a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: and he did eate Locusts and wilde hony, 
\verseNumber{7}And preached, saying, A stronger then I commeth after me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to stoupe downe, and vnloose. 
\verseNumber{8}Trueth it is, I haue baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{9}And it came to passe in those dayes, that Iesus came from Nazareth, a citie of Galile, and was baptized of Iohn in Iordan. 
\verseNumber{10}And assoone as he was come out of the water, Iohn saw the heauens clouen in twaine, and the holy Ghost descending vpon him like a doue. 
\verseNumber{11}Then there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased. 
\verseNumber{12}And immediatly the Spirite driueth him into the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{13}And he was there in the wildernesse fourtie daies, and was tempted of Satan: hee was also with the wilde beastes, and the Angels ministred vnto him. 
\verseNumber{14}Now after that Iohn was committed to prison, Iesus came into Galile, preaching the Gospel of the kingdome of God, 
\verseNumber{15}And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdome of God is at hand: repent and beleeue the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{16}And as he walked by the sea of Galile, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, (for they were fishers.) 
\verseNumber{17}Then Iesus said vnto them, Folow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. 
\verseNumber{18}And straightway they forsooke their nets, and folowed him. 
\verseNumber{19}And when hee had gone a litle further thence, he sawe Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother, as they were in the ship, mending their nets. 
\verseNumber{20}And anon hee called them: and they left their father Zebedeus in the shippe with his hired seruants, and went their way after him. 
\verseNumber{21}So they entred into Capernaum, and straightway on the Sabbath day hee entred into the Synagogue, and taught. 
\verseNumber{22}And they were astonied at his doctrine, for he taught them as one that had authoritie, and not as the Scribes. 
\verseNumber{23}And there was in their Synagogue a man in whome was an vncleane spirite, and hee cried out, 
\verseNumber{24}Saying, Ah, what haue we to do with thee, O Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy vs? I knowe thee what thou art, euen that holy one of God. 
\verseNumber{25}And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. 
\verseNumber{26}And the vncleane spirit tare him, and cried with a loude voyce, and came out of him. 
\verseNumber{27}And they were all amased, so that they demaunded one of another, saying, What thing is this? what newe doctrine is this? for he commandeth euen the foule spirites with authoritie, and they obey him. 
\verseNumber{28}And immediatly his fame spred abroade throughout all the region bordering on Galile. 
\verseNumber{29}And assoone as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entred into the house of Symon and Andrew, with Iames and Iohn. 
\verseNumber{30}And Symons wiues mother lay sicke of a feuer, and anon they told him of her. 
\verseNumber{31}And he came and tooke her by the hand, and lifted her vp, and the feuer forsooke her by and by, and shee ministred vnto them. 
\verseNumber{32}And whe euen was come, at what time the sunne setteth, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with deuils. 
\verseNumber{33}And the whole citie was gathered together at the doore. 
\verseNumber{34}And he healed many that were sicke of diuers diseases: and he cast out many deuils, and suffred not the deuils to say that they knewe him. 
\verseNumber{35}And in the morning very early before day, Iesus arose and went out into a solitarie place, and there praied. 
\verseNumber{36}And Simon, and they that were with him, followed carefully after him. 
\verseNumber{37}And when they had found him, they sayde vnto him, All men seeke for thee. 
\verseNumber{38}Then he said vnto them, Let vs go into the next townes, that I may preach there also: for I came out for that purpose. 
\verseNumber{39}And hee preached in their Synagogues, throughout all Galile, and cast the deuils out. 
\verseNumber{40}And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeled downe vnto him, and said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. 
\verseNumber{41}And Iesus had compassion, and put foorth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I wil: be thou cleane. 
\verseNumber{42}And assone as he had spoken, immediatly ye leprosie departed from him, and he was made cleane. 
\verseNumber{43}And after he had giue him a streight commandement, he sent him away forthwith, 
\verseNumber{44}And sayde vnto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence, and shewe thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing those things, which Moses commanded, for a testimoniall vnto them. 
\verseNumber{45}But when he was departed, hee began to tel many things, and to publish the matter: so that Iesus could no more openly enter into the citie, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from euery quarter. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}After a fewe dayes, hee entred into Capernaum againe, and it was noysed that he was in the house. 
\verseNumber{2}And anon, many gathered together, in so much that the places about the doore coulde not receiue any more and he preached the word vnto them. 
\verseNumber{3}And there came vnto him, that brought one sicke of the palsie, borne of foure men. 
\verseNumber{4}And because they could not come neere vnto him for the multitude, they vncouered ye roofe of the house where hee was: and when they had broken it open, they let downe the bed, wherein the sicke of the palsie lay. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe when Iesus sawe their faith, he saide to the sicke of the palsie, Sonne, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 
\verseNumber{6}And there were certaine of the Scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 
\verseNumber{7}Why doeth this man speake such blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely? 
\verseNumber{8}And immediatly when Iesus perceiued in his spirite, that thus they reasoned with themselues, he sayde vnto them, Why reason yee these things in your hearts? 
\verseNumber{9}Whether is it easier to say to the sicke of the palsie, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee? or to say, Arise, and take vp thy bed, and walke? 
\verseNumber{10}But that ye may knowe, that the Sonne of man hath authoritie in earth to forgiue sinnes, (he sayde vnto the sicke of the palsie.) 
\verseNumber{11}I say vnto thee, Arise and take vp thy bed, and get thee hence into thine owne house. 
\verseNumber{12}And by and by he arose, and tooke vp his bed, and went foorth before them all, in so much that they were all amased, and glorified God, saying, We neuer sawe such a thing. 
\verseNumber{13}Then he went foorth againe towarde the sea, and all the people resorted vnto him, and he taught them. 
\verseNumber{14}And as Iesus passed by, hee sawe Leui the sonne of Alpheus sit at the receit of custome, and said vnto him, Folowe me. And he arose and followed him. 
\verseNumber{15}And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at table in his house, many Publicanes and sinners sate at table also with Iesus, and his disciples: for there were many that followed him. 
\verseNumber{16}And when the Scribes and Pharises sawe him eate with the Publicanes and sinners, they sayd vnto his disciples, Howe is it, that hee eateth and drinketh with Publicanes and sinners? 
\verseNumber{17}Now when Iesus heard it, hee sayde vnto them, The whole haue no neede of the Physicion, but the sicke. I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance. 
\verseNumber{18}And the disciples of Iohn, and the Pharises did fast, and came and saide vnto him, Why doe the disciples of Iohn, and of the Pharises fast, and thy disciples fast not? 
\verseNumber{19}And Iesus saide vnto them, Can the children of the marriage chamber fast, whiles the bridegrome is with them? as long as they haue the bridegrome with them, they cannot fast. 
\verseNumber{20}But the daies will come, when the bridegrome shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast in those daies. 
\verseNumber{21}Also no man soweth a piece of newe cloth in an olde garment: for els the newe piece that filled it vp, taketh away somewhat from the olde, and the breach is worse. 
\verseNumber{22}Likewise, no man putteth newe wine into old vessels: for els the new wine breaketh the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are lost: but newe wine must be put into new vessels. 
\verseNumber{23}And it came to passe as hee went through the corne on the Sabbath day, that his disciples, as they went on their way, began to plucke the eares of corne. 
\verseNumber{24}And the Pharises saide vnto him, Beholde, why doe they on the Sabbath day, that which is not lawfull? 
\verseNumber{25}And he saide to them, Haue yee neuer read what Dauid did when he had neede, and was an hungred, both he, and they that were with him? 
\verseNumber{26}Howe he went into the house of God, in the daies of Abiathar the hie Priest, and did eat the shewe bread, which were not lawfull to eate, but for the Priests, and gaue also to them which were with him? 
\verseNumber{27}And hee sayde to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{28}Wherefore the Sonne of man is Lord, euen of the Sabbath. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}And he entred againe into ye Synagogue, and there was a man which had a withered had. 
\verseNumber{2}And they watched him, whether he would heale him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse him. 
\verseNumber{3}Then he saide vnto the man which had the withered hand, Arise: stand forth in the middes. 
\verseNumber{4}And he saide to them, Is it lawfull to doe a good deede on the Sabbath day, or to doe euil? to saue the life, or to kill? But they held their peace. 
\verseNumber{5}Then hee looked rounde about on them angerly, mourning also for the hardnesse of their hearts, and saide to the man, Stretch foorth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hande was restored, as whole as the other. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Pharises departed, and straightway gathered a councill with the Herodians against him, that they might destroy him. 
\verseNumber{7}But Iesus auoided with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude followed him from Galile, and from Iudea, 
\verseNumber{8}And from Ierusalem, and from Idumea, and beyonde Iordan: and they that dwelled about Tyrus and Sidon, when they had heard what great things he did, came vnto him in great number. 
\verseNumber{9}And he commanded his disciples, that a litle shippe should waite for him, because of the multitude, lest they shoulde throng him. 
\verseNumber{10}For hee had healed many, in so much that they preassed vpon him to touch him, as many as had plagues. 
\verseNumber{11}And when the vncleane spirits sawe him, they fel downe before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{12}And he sharply rebuked them, to the ende they should not vtter him. 
\verseNumber{13}Then hee went vp into a mountaine, and called vnto him whome he woulde, and they came vnto him. 
\verseNumber{14}And hee appoynted twelue that they should be with him, and that he might send them to preache, 
\verseNumber{15}And that they might haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuils. 
\verseNumber{16}And the first was Simon, and hee named Simon, Peter, 
\verseNumber{17}Then Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn Iames brother (and surnamed them Boanerges, which is, the sonnes of thunder,) 
\verseNumber{18}And Andrew, and Philippe, and Bartlemew, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames, the sonne of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Cananite, 
\verseNumber{19}And Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him, and they came home. 
\verseNumber{20}And the multitude assembled againe, so that they could not so much as eate bread. 
\verseNumber{21}And when his kinsfolkes heard of it, they went out to laie hold on him: for they sayde that he was beside himselfe. 
\verseNumber{22}And the Scribes which came downe from Hierusalem, saide, He hath Beelzebub, and through the prince of the deuils he casteth out deuils. 
\verseNumber{23}But he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, How can Satan driue out Satan? 
\verseNumber{24}For if a kingdome bee deuided against it selfe, that kingdome can not stand. 
\verseNumber{25}Or if a house bee deuided against it selfe, that house can not continue. 
\verseNumber{26}So if Satan make insurrection against himselfe, and be deuided, hee can not endure but is at an ende. 
\verseNumber{27}No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goods, except hee first binde that strong man, and then spoyle his house. 
\verseNumber{28}Verely I say vnto you, all sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the children of men, and blasphemies, wherewith they blaspheme: 
\verseNumber{29}But hee that blasphemeth against the holy Ghost, shall neuer haue forgiuenesse, but is culpable of eternall damnation. 
\verseNumber{30}Because they saide, Hee had an vncleane spirit. 
\verseNumber{31}Then came his brethren and mother, and stoode without, and sent vnto him, and called him. 
\verseNumber{32}And the people sate about him, and they said vnto him, Beholde, thy mother, and thy brethren seeke for thee without. 
\verseNumber{33}But hee answered them, saying, Who is my mother and my brethren? 
\verseNumber{34}And hee looked rounde about on them, which sate in compasse about him, and saide, Beholde my mother and my brethren. 
\verseNumber{35}For whosoeuer doeth the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And hee began againe to teache by the sea side, and there gathered vnto him a great multitude, so that hee entred into a shippe, and sate in the sea, and all the people was by the sea side on the land. 
\verseNumber{2}And he taught them many things in parables, and said vnto them in his doctrine, 
\verseNumber{3}Hearken: Beholde, there went out a sower to sowe. 
\verseNumber{4}And it came to passe as he sowed, that some fell by the way side, and the foules of the heauen came, and deuoured it vp. 
\verseNumber{5}And some fell on stonie grounde, where it had not much earth, and by and by sprang vp, because it had not depth of earth. 
\verseNumber{6}But assoone as ye Sunne was vp, it was burnt vp, and because it had not roote, it withered away. 
\verseNumber{7}And some fell among the thornes, and the thornes grewe vp, and choked it, so that it gaue no fruite. 
\verseNumber{8}Some againe fell in good grounde, and did yeelde fruite that sprong vp, and grewe, and it brought foorth, some thirtie folde, some sixtie folde, and some an hundreth folde. 
\verseNumber{9}Then he said vnto them, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{10}And whe he was alone, they that were about him with the twelue, asked him of ye parable. 
\verseNumber{11}And he saide vnto them, To you it is giuen to knowe the mysterie of the kingdome of God: but vnto them that are without, all thinges bee done in parables, 
\verseNumber{12}That they seeing, may see, and not discerne: and they hearing, may heare, and not vnderstand, least at any time they should turne, and their sinnes should be forgiuen them. 
\verseNumber{13}Againe he said vnto them, Perceiue ye not this parable? howe then should ye vnderstand all other parables? 
\verseNumber{14}The sower soweth the worde. 
\verseNumber{15}And these are they that receiue the seede by the wayes side, in whome the worde is sowen: but when they haue heard it, Satan commeth immediatly, and taketh away the worde that was sowen in their heartes. 
\verseNumber{16}And likewise they that receiue the seede in stony ground, are they, which whe they haue heard the word, straightwayes receiue it with gladnesse. 
\verseNumber{17}Yet haue they no roote in themselues, and endure but a time: for when trouble and persecution ariseth for the worde, immediatly they be offended. 
\verseNumber{18}Also they that receiue the seede among the thornes, are such as heare the word: 
\verseNumber{19}But the cares of this world, and the deceitfulnes of riches, and the lustes of other things enter in, and choke the word, and it is vnfruitfull. 
\verseNumber{20}But they that haue receiued seede in good ground, are they that heare the worde, and receiue it, and bring foorth fruite: one corne thirtie, another sixtie, and some an hundreth. 
\verseNumber{21}Also he saide vnto them, Commeth the candle in, to be put vnder a bushell, or vnder the bed, and not to be put on a candlesticke? 
\verseNumber{22}For there is nothing hid, that shall not be opened: neither is there a secret, but that it shall come to light. 
\verseNumber{23}If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{24}And he said vnto them, Take heede what ye heare. With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured vnto you: and vnto you that heare, shall more be giuen. 
\verseNumber{25}For vnto him that hath, shall it be giuen, and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, euen that he hath. 
\verseNumber{26}Also he said, So is the kingdome of God, as if a man should cast seede in the ground, 
\verseNumber{27}And shoulde sleepe, and rise vp night and day, and the seede should spring and growe vp, he not knowing howe. 
\verseNumber{28}For the earth bringeth foorth fruite of it selfe, first the blade, then the eares, after that full corne in the eares. 
\verseNumber{29}And assoone as the fruite sheweth it selfe, anon hee putteth in the sickle, because the haruest is come. 
\verseNumber{30}He saide moreouer, Whereunto shall wee liken the kingdome of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? 
\verseNumber{31}It is like a graine of mustarde seede, which when it is sowen in the earth, is the least of all seedes that be in the earth: 
\verseNumber{32}But after that it is sowen, it groweth vp, and is greatest of all herbes, and beareth great branches, so that the foules of heauen may builde vnder the shadow of it. 
\verseNumber{33}And with many such parables he preached the word vnto them, as they were able to heare it. 
\verseNumber{34}And without parables spake hee nothing vnto them: but he expounded all thinges to his disciples apart. 
\verseNumber{35}Nowe the same day when euen was come, he saide vnto them, Let vs passe ouer vnto the other side. 
\verseNumber{36}And they left the multitude, and tooke him as he was in the shippe, and there were also with him other little shippes. 
\verseNumber{37}And there arose a great storme of winde, and the waues dashed into the shippe, so that it was now full. 
\verseNumber{38}And he was in the sterne asleepe on a pillow: and they awoke him, and saide to him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? 
\verseNumber{39}And hee rose vp, and rebuked the winde, and saide vnto the sea, Peace, and be still. So the winde ceased, and it was a great calme. 
\verseNumber{40}Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye so fearefull? how is it that ye haue no faith? 
\verseNumber{41}And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who is this, that both the winde and sea obey him? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}And they came ouer to the other side of the sea into the countrey of the Gadarens. 
\verseNumber{2}And when he was come out of the shippe, there met him incontinently out of the graues, a man which had an vncleane spirit: 
\verseNumber{3}Who had his abiding among the graues, and no man could binde him, no not with chaines: 
\verseNumber{4}Because that when hee was often bounde with fetters and chaines, he plucked the chaines asunder, and brake the fetters in pieces, neither could any man tame him. 
\verseNumber{5}And alwayes both night and day he cryed in the mountaines, and in the graues, and strooke himselfe with stones. 
\verseNumber{6}And when he saw Iesus afarre off, he ranne, and worshipped him, 
\verseNumber{7}And cryed with a loude voyce, and saide, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of the most high God? I will that thou sweare to me by God, that thou torment me not. 
\verseNumber{8}(For hee saide vnto him, Come out of the man, thou vncleane spirit.) 
\verseNumber{9}And he asked him, What is thy name? and hee answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 
\verseNumber{10}And hee prayed him instantly, that hee would not send them away out of the countrey. 
\verseNumber{11}Now there was there in the mountaines a great heard of swine, feeding. 
\verseNumber{12}And all ye deuils besought him, saying, Send vs into the swine, that we may enter into them. 
\verseNumber{13}And incontinently Iesus gaue them leaue. Then the vncleane spirites went out, and entred into the swine, and the heard ranne headlong from the high banke into the sea, (and there were about two thousand swine) and they were choked vp in the sea. 
\verseNumber{14}And the swineheards fled, and told it in the citie, and in the countrey, and they came out to see what it was that was done. 
\verseNumber{15}And they came to Iesus, and sawe him that had bene possessed with the deuil, and had the legion, sit both clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afraide. 
\verseNumber{16}And they that saw it, tolde them, what was done to him that was possessed with the deuil, and concerning the swine. 
\verseNumber{17}Then they began to pray him, that hee would depart from their coastes. 
\verseNumber{18}And when he was come into the shippe, he that had bene possessed with the deuil, prayed him that he might be with him. 
\verseNumber{19}Howbeit, Iesus would not suffer him, but said vnto him, Goe thy way home to thy friendes, and shewe them what great thinges the Lord hath done vnto thee, and howe hee hath had compassion on thee. 
\verseNumber{20}So he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis, what great things Iesus had done vnto him: and all men did marueile. 
\verseNumber{21}And when Iesus was come ouer againe by ship vnto the other side, a great multitude gathered together to him, and he was neere vnto the sea. 
\verseNumber{22}And beholde, there came one of the rulers of the Synagogue, whose name was Iairus: and when he sawe him, he fell downe at his feete, 
\verseNumber{23}And besought him instantly, saying, My litle daughter lyeth at point of death: I pray thee that thou wouldest come and lay thine hands on her, that she may be healed, and liue. 
\verseNumber{24}Then hee went with him, and a great multitude folowed him, and thronged him. 
\verseNumber{25}(And there was a certaine woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeeres, 
\verseNumber{26}And had suffred many things of many physicions, and had spent all that she had, and it auailed her nothing, but she became much worse. 
\verseNumber{27}When she had heard of Iesus, shee came in the preasse behinde, and touched his garment. 
\verseNumber{28}For she said, If I may but touch his clothes, I shalbe whole. 
\verseNumber{29}And straightway the course of her blood was dried vp, and she felt in her body, that she was healed of that plague. 
\verseNumber{30}And immediatly when Iesus did knowe in himselfe the vertue that went out of him, he turned him round about in the preasse, and said, Who hath touched my clothes? 
\verseNumber{31}And his disciples said vnto him, Thou seest the multitude throng thee, and sayest thou, Who did touche me? 
\verseNumber{32}And he looked round about, to see her that had done that. 
\verseNumber{33}And the woman feared and trembled: for she knewe what was done in her, and shee came and fell downe before him, and tolde him the whole trueth. 
\verseNumber{34}And hee saide to her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.) 
\verseNumber{35}While hee yet spake, there came from the same ruler of the Synagogues house certaine which said, Thy daughter is dead: why diseasest thou the Master any further? 
\verseNumber{36}Assoone as Iesus heard that word spoken, he said vnto the ruler of the Synagogue, Be not afraide: onely beleeue. 
\verseNumber{37}And he suffered no man to follow him saue Peter and Iames, and Iohn the brother of Iames. 
\verseNumber{38}So hee came vnto the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, and sawe the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. 
\verseNumber{39}And he went in, and said vnto them, Why make ye this trouble, and weepe? the childe is not dead, but sleepeth. 
\verseNumber{40}And they laught him to scorne: but hee put them all out, and tooke the father, and the mother of the childe, and them that were with him, and entred in where the childe lay, 
\verseNumber{41}And tooke the childe by the hand, and saide vnto her, Talitha cumi, which is by interpretation, Mayden, I say vnto thee, arise. 
\verseNumber{42}And straightway the mayden arose, and walked: for shee was of the age of twelue yeeres, and they were astonied out of measure. 
\verseNumber{43}And he charged them straitly that no man should knowe of it, and commanded to giue her meate. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}And he departed thence, and came into his owne countrey, and his disciples followed him. 
\verseNumber{2}And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue, and many that heard him, were astonied, and sayd, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdome is this that is giuen vnto him, that euen such great workes are done by his hands? 
\verseNumber{3}Is not this that carpenter Maries sonne, the brother of Iames and Ioses, and of Iuda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with vs? And they were offended in him. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Iesus sayd vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, but in his owne countrey, and among his owne kindred, and in his own house. 
\verseNumber{5}And he could there doe no great workes, saue that hee layd his hands vpon a fewe sicke folke, and healed them, 
\verseNumber{6}And he marueiled at their vnbeliefe, and went about by ye townes on euery side, teaching. 
\verseNumber{7}And he called vnto him the twelue, and began to send them forth two and two, and gaue them power ouer vncleane spirits, 
\verseNumber{8}And commanded them that they should take nothing for their iourney, saue a staffe onely: neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their girdles: 
\verseNumber{9}But that they should be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two coates. 
\verseNumber{10}And he sayd vnto them, Wheresoeuer ye shall enter into an house, there abide till ye depart thence. 
\verseNumber{11}And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is vnder your feete, for a witnes vnto them. Verely I say vnto you, It shalbe easier for Sodom, or Gomorrha at the day of iudgement, then for that citie. 
\verseNumber{12}And they went out, and preached, that men should amend their liues. 
\verseNumber{13}And they cast out many deuils: and they anointed many that were sicke, with oyle, and healed them. 
\verseNumber{14}Then King Herod heard of him (for his name was made manifest) and sayd, Iohn Baptist is risen againe from the dead, and therefore great workes are wrought by him. 
\verseNumber{15}Other sayd, It is Elias, and some sayd, It is a Prophet, or as one of those Prophets. 
\verseNumber{16}So when Herod heard it, he said, It is Iohn whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. 
\verseNumber{17}For Herod him selfe had sent forth, and had taken Iohn, and bound him in prison for Herodias sake, which was his brother Philippes wife, because he had maried her. 
\verseNumber{18}For Iohn sayd vnto Herod, It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife. 
\verseNumber{19}Therefore Herodias layd waite against him, and would haue killed him, but she could not: 
\verseNumber{20}For Herod feared Iohn, knowing that hee was a iust man, and an holy, and reuerenced him, and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. 
\verseNumber{21}But the time being conuenient, when Herod on his birth day made a banket to his princes and captaines, and chiefe estates of Galile: 
\verseNumber{22}And the daughter of the same Herodias came in, and daunced, and pleased Herod, and them that sate at table together, the King sayd vnto the mayde, Aske of me what thou wilt, and I will giue it thee. 
\verseNumber{23}And he sware vnto her, Whatsoeuer thou shalt aske of me, I will giue it thee, euen vnto the halfe of my kingdome. 
\verseNumber{24}So she went forth, and said to her mother, What shall I aske? And she said, Iohn Baptists head. 
\verseNumber{25}Then she came in straightway with haste vnto the King, and asked, saying, I would that thou shouldest giue me euen now in a charger the head of Iohn Baptist. 
\verseNumber{26}Then the King was very sory: yet for his othes sake, and for their sakes which sate at table with him, he would not refuse her. 
\verseNumber{27}And immediatly the King sent the hangman, and gaue charge that his head shoulde be brought in. So he went and beheaded him in the prison, 
\verseNumber{28}And brought his head in a charger, and gaue it to the maide, and the maide gaue it to her mother. 
\verseNumber{29}And when his disciples heard it, they came and tooke vp his body, and put it in a tombe. 
\verseNumber{30}And the Apostles gathered themselues together to Iesus, and tolde him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 
\verseNumber{31}And he sayd vnto them, Come ye apart into the wildernes, and rest a while: for there were many commers and goers, that they had not leasure to eate. 
\verseNumber{32}So they went by ship out of the way into a desart place. 
\verseNumber{33}But the people sawe them when they departed, and many knewe him, and ran a foote thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and assembled vnto him. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Iesus went out, and sawe a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheepe which had no shepheard: and he began to teach them many things. 
\verseNumber{35}And when the day was nowe farre spent, his disciples came vnto him, saying, This is a desart place, and nowe the day is farre passed. 
\verseNumber{36}Let them depart, that they may goe into the countrey and townes about, and buy them bread: for they haue nothing to eate. 
\verseNumber{37}But he answered, and said vnto them, Giue yee them to eate. And they said vnto him, Shall we goe, and buy two hundreth peny worth of bread, and giue them to eate? 
\verseNumber{38}Then he sayde vnto them, Howe many loaues haue ye? goe and looke. And when they knewe it, they sayd, Fiue, and two fishes. 
\verseNumber{39}So he commanded them to make them all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse. 
\verseNumber{40}Then they sate downe by rowes, by hundreds, and by fifties. 
\verseNumber{41}And he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and gaue thanks, and brake the loaues, and gaue them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he deuided among them all. 
\verseNumber{42}So they did all eate, and were satisfied. 
\verseNumber{43}And they tooke vp twelue baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 
\verseNumber{44}And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men. 
\verseNumber{45}And straightway he caused his disciples to goe into the ship, and to goe before vnto the other side vnto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. 
\verseNumber{46}Then assoone as he had sent them away, he departed into a mountaine to pray. 
\verseNumber{47}And when euen was come, the ship was in the mids of the sea, and he alone on the land. 
\verseNumber{48}And he saw them troubled in rowing, (for the winde was contrary vnto them) and about the fourth watch of the night, hee came vnto them, walking vpon the sea, and would haue passed by them. 
\verseNumber{49}And when they saw him walking vpon the sea, they supposed it had bene a spirit, and cried out. 
\verseNumber{50}For they all saw him, and were sore afrayd: but anon he talked with them, and said vnto them, Be ye of good comfort: it is I, be not afrayd. 
\verseNumber{51}Then he went vp vnto them into the ship, and the winde ceased, and they were much more amased in them selues, and marueiled. 
\verseNumber{52}For they had not considered the matter of the loaues, because their hearts were hardened. 
\verseNumber{53}And they came ouer, and went into the land of Gennesaret, and arriued. 
\verseNumber{54}So when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knewe him, 
\verseNumber{55}And ran about throughout all that region round about, and began to cary hither and thither in couches all that were sicke, where they heard that he was. 
\verseNumber{56}And whithersoeuer he entred into townes, or cities, or villages, they laide their sicke in the streetes, and prayed him that they might touch at the least the edge of his garment. And as many as touched him, were made whole.

\chapterNumber{7}Then gathered vnto him the Pharises, and certaine of the Scribes which came from Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{2}And when they sawe some of his disciples eate meate with common hands, (that is to say, vnwashen) they complained. 
\verseNumber{3}(For the Pharises, and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the Elders. 
\verseNumber{4}And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not: and many other things there be, which they haue taken vpon them to obserue, as the washing of cups, and pots, and of brasen vessels, and of beds.) 
\verseNumber{5}Then asked him the Pharises and Scribes, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate meate with vnwashen hands? 
\verseNumber{6}Then hee answered and sayd vnto them, Surely Esay hath prophecied well of you, hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth mee with lippes, but their heart is farre away from me. 
\verseNumber{7}But they worship me in vaine, teaching for doctrines the commandements of men. 
\verseNumber{8}For ye lay the commandement of God apart, and obserue the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and of cups, and many other such like things ye doe. 
\verseNumber{9}And he sayd vnto them, Well, ye reiect the commandement of God, that ye may obserue your owne tradition. 
\verseNumber{10}For Moses sayd, Honour thy father and thy mother: and Whosoeuer shall speake euill of father or mother, let him die the death. 
\verseNumber{11}But yee say, If a man say to father or mother, Corban, that is, By the gift that is offered by mee, thou mayest haue profite, hee shall be free. 
\verseNumber{12}So ye suffer him no more to doe any thing for his father, or his mother, 
\verseNumber{13}Making the worde of God of none authoritie, by your tradition which ye haue ordeined: and ye doe many such like things. 
\verseNumber{14}Then he called the whole multitude vnto him, and sayd vnto them, Hearken you all vnto me, and vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{15}There is nothing without a man, that can defile him, when it entreth into him: but the things which proceede out of him, are they which defile the man. 
\verseNumber{16}If any haue eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{17}And when hee came into an house, away from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 
\verseNumber{18}And he sayde vnto them, What? are ye without vnderstanding also? Doe ye not knowe that whatsoeuer thing from without entreth into a man, cannot defile him, 
\verseNumber{19}Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught which is the purging of all meates? 
\verseNumber{20}Then he sayd, That which commeth out of man, that defileth man. 
\verseNumber{21}For from within, euen out of the heart of men, proceede euill thoughtes, adulteries, fornications, murthers, 
\verseNumber{22}Theftes, couetousnes, wickednes, deceite, vncleannes, a wicked eye, backbiting, pride, foolishnesse. 
\verseNumber{23}All these euill things come from within, and defile a man. 
\verseNumber{24}And from thence he rose, and went into the borders of Tyrus and Sidon, and entred into an house, and woulde that no man should haue knowen: but he could not be hid. 
\verseNumber{25}For a certaine woman, whose litle daughter had an vncleane spirit, heard of him, and came, and fell at his feete, 
\verseNumber{26}(And the woman was a Greeke, a Syrophenissian by nation) and she besought him that he would cast out the deuill out of her daughter. 
\verseNumber{27}But Iesus saide vnto her, Let the children first be fedde: for it is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it vnto whelpes. 
\verseNumber{28}Then shee answered, and saide vnto him, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate vnder the table of the childrens crommes. 
\verseNumber{29}Then he said vnto her, For this saying goe thy way: the deuil is gone out of thy daughter. 
\verseNumber{30}And when shee was come home to her house, shee founde the deuill departed, and her daughter lying on the bed. 
\verseNumber{31}And hee departed againe from the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon, and came vnto the sea of Galile, through the middes of the coastes of Decapolis. 
\verseNumber{32}And they brought vnto him one that was deafe and stambered in his speache, and prayed him to put his hand vpon him. 
\verseNumber{33}Then hee tooke him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers in his eares, and did spit, and touched his tongue. 
\verseNumber{34}And looking vp to heauen, hee sighed, and said vnto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 
\verseNumber{35}And straightway his eares were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and hee spake plaine. 
\verseNumber{36}And he commanded them, that they should tell no man: but howe much soeuer hee forbad them, the more a great deale they published it, 
\verseNumber{37}And were beyonde measure astonied, saying, Hee hath done all thinges well: he maketh both the deafe to heare, and the domme to speake.

\chapterNumber{8}In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them, 
\verseNumber{2}I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate. 
\verseNumber{3}And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre. 
\verseNumber{4}Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes? 
\verseNumber{5}And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen. 
\verseNumber{6}Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people. 
\verseNumber{7}They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commanded them also to be set before them. 
\verseNumber{8}So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full. 
\verseNumber{9}(And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away. 
\verseNumber{10}And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 
\verseNumber{11}And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him. 
\verseNumber{12}Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation. 
\verseNumber{13}So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side. 
\verseNumber{14}And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe. 
\verseNumber{15}And he charged them, saying, Take heede, and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the leauen of Herod. 
\verseNumber{16}And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread. 
\verseNumber{17}And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened? 
\verseNumber{18}Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember? 
\verseNumber{19}When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand, how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp? They said vnto him, Twelue. 
\verseNumber{20}And when I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp? And they said, Seuen. 
\verseNumber{21}Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not? 
\verseNumber{22}And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him. 
\verseNumber{23}Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought. 
\verseNumber{24}And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees. 
\verseNumber{25}After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe. And hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely. 
\verseNumber{26}And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne. 
\verseNumber{27}And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi. And by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am? 
\verseNumber{28}And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{29}And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ. 
\verseNumber{30}And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man. 
\verseNumber{31}Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe. 
\verseNumber{32}And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him. 
\verseNumber{33}Then he turned backe, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men. 
\verseNumber{34}And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will follow me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me. 
\verseNumber{35}For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it. 
\verseNumber{36}For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule? 
\verseNumber{37}Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule? 
\verseNumber{38}For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.

\chapterNumber{9}And he saide vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that there be some of them that stande here, which shall not taste of death till they haue seene the kingdome of God come with power. 
\verseNumber{2}And sixe dayes after, Iesus taketh vnto him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and carieth them vp into an hie mountaine out of the way alone, and his shape was changed before them. 
\verseNumber{3}And his rayment did shine, and was very white, as snowe, so white as no fuller can make vpon the earth. 
\verseNumber{4}And there appeared vnto them Elias with Moses, and they were talking with Iesus. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Peter answered, and said to Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs make also three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 
\verseNumber{6}Yet hee knewe not what he saide: for they were afraide. 
\verseNumber{7}And there was a cloude that shadowed them, and a voyce came out of the cloude, saying, This is my beloued Sonne: heare him. 
\verseNumber{8}And suddenly they looked roud about, and sawe no more any man saue Iesus only with them. 
\verseNumber{9}And as they came downe from the mountaine, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seene, saue when the Sonne of man were risen from the dead againe. 
\verseNumber{10}So they kept that matter to themselues, and demaunded one of another, what the rising from the dead againe should meane? 
\verseNumber{11}Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that Elias must first come? 
\verseNumber{12}And he answered, and said vnto them, Elias verely shall first come, and restore all things: and as it is written of the Sonne of man, hee must suffer many things, and be set at nought. 
\verseNumber{13}But I say vnto you, that Elias is come, (and they haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would) as it is written of him. 
\verseNumber{14}And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes disputing with them. 
\verseNumber{15}And straightway all the people, when they behelde him, were amased, and ranne to him, and saluted him. 
\verseNumber{16}Then hee asked the Scribes, What dispute you among your selues? 
\verseNumber{17}And one of the companie answered, and said, Master, I haue brought my sonne vnto thee, which hath a dumme spirit: 
\verseNumber{18}And wheresoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not. 
\verseNumber{19}Then he answered him, and said, O faithlesse generation, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! Bring him vnto me. 
\verseNumber{20}So they brought him vnto him: and assoone as the spirit sawe him, hee tare him, and hee fell downe on the ground walowing and foming. 
\verseNumber{21}Then he asked his father, How long time is it since he hath bin thus? And he said, Of a childe. 
\verseNumber{22}And oft times he casteth him into the fire, and into the water to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, helpe vs, and haue compassion vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{23}And Iesus said vnto him, If thou canst beleeue it, al things are possible to him that beleeueth. 
\verseNumber{24}And straightway the father of the childe crying with teares, saide, Lord, I beleeue: helpe my vnbeliefe. 
\verseNumber{25}When Iesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the vncleane spirit, saying vnto him, Thou domme and deafe spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 
\verseNumber{26}Then the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out, and he was as one dead, in so much that many said, He is dead. 
\verseNumber{27}But Iesus tooke his hande, and lift him vp, and he arose. 
\verseNumber{28}And when hee was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out? 
\verseNumber{29}And he saide vnto them, This kinde can by no other meanes come foorth, but by prayer and fasting. 
\verseNumber{30}And they departed thence, and went together through Galile, and hee would not that any should haue knowen it. 
\verseNumber{31}For he taught his disciples, and saide vnto them, The Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kill him, but after that he is killed, he shall rise againe the third day. 
\verseNumber{32}But they vnderstoode not that saying, and were afraide to aske him. 
\verseNumber{33}After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way? 
\verseNumber{34}And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest. 
\verseNumber{35}And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all. 
\verseNumber{36}And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them, 
\verseNumber{37}Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{38}Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not. 
\verseNumber{39}But Iesus sayd, Forbid him not: for there is no man that can doe a miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me. 
\verseNumber{40}For whosoeuer is not against vs, is on our part. 
\verseNumber{41}And whosoeuer shall giue you a cup of water to drinke for my Names sake, because ye belong to Christ, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde. 
\verseNumber{42}And whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones, that beleeue in me, it were better for him rather, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into the sea. 
\verseNumber{43}Wherefore, if thine hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, then hauing two hands, to goe into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched, 
\verseNumber{44}Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out. 
\verseNumber{45}Likewise, if thy foote cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to go halt into life, then hauing two feete, to be cast into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched, 
\verseNumber{46}Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out. 
\verseNumber{47}And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out: it is better for thee to goe into the kingdome of God with one eye, then hauing two eyes, to be cast into hell fire, 
\verseNumber{48}Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out. 
\verseNumber{49}For euery man shalbe salted with fire: and euery sacrifice shalbe salted with salt. 
\verseNumber{50}Salt is good: but if the salt be vnsauerie, wherewith shall it be seasoned? haue salt in your selues, and haue peace one with another.

\chapterNumber{10}And he arose from thence, and went into the coastes of Iudea by the farre side of Iordan, and the people resorted vnto him againe, and as he was wont, he taught them againe. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the Pharises came and asked him, if it were lawfull for a man to put away his wife, and tempted him. 
\verseNumber{3}And he answered, and sayde vnto them, What did Moses commaund you? 
\verseNumber{4}And they sayd, Moses suffered to write a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, For the hardnesse of your heart he wrote this precept vnto you. 
\verseNumber{6}But at the beginning of the creation God made them male and female: 
\verseNumber{7}For this cause shall man leaue his father and mother, and cleaue vnto his wife. 
\verseNumber{8}And they twaine shalbe one flesh: so that they are no more twaine, but one flesh. 
\verseNumber{9}Therefore, what God hath coupled together, let not man separate. 
\verseNumber{10}And in the house his disciples asked him againe of that matter. 
\verseNumber{11}And he sayd vnto them, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife and marrie another, committeth adulterie against her. 
\verseNumber{12}And if a woman put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adulterie. 
\verseNumber{13}Then they brought litle children to him, that he should touch them, and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 
\verseNumber{14}But when Iesus sawe it, he was displeased, and said to them, Suffer the litle children to come vnto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{15}Verely I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall not receiue the kingdome of God as a litle childe, he shall not enter therein. 
\verseNumber{16}And he tooke them vp in his armes, and put his hands vpon them, and blessed them. 
\verseNumber{17}And when hee was gone out on the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I doe, that I may possesse eternall life? 
\verseNumber{18}Iesus sayde to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, euen God. 
\verseNumber{19}Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steale. Thou shalt not beare false witnesse. Thou shalt hurt no man. Honour thy father and mother. 
\verseNumber{20}Then he answered, and said to him, Master, all these things I haue obserued from my youth. 
\verseNumber{21}And Iesus looked vpon him, and loued him, and sayde vnto him, One thing is lacking vnto thee. Go and sell all that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, follow me, and take vp the crosse. 
\verseNumber{22}But hee was sad at that saying, and went away sorowfull: for he had great possessions. 
\verseNumber{23}And Iesus looked round about, and sayd vnto his disciples, Howe hardly doe they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God! 
\verseNumber{24}And his disciples were afraide at his words. But Iesus answered againe, and sayd vnto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdome of God! 
\verseNumber{25}It is easier for a camel to goe through the eye of a needle, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{26}And they were much more astonied, saying with themselues, Who then can be saued? 
\verseNumber{27}But Iesus looked vpon them, and sayd, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Peter began to say vnto him, Loe, we haue forsaken all, and haue folowed thee. 
\verseNumber{29}Iesus answered, and sayd, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath forsaken house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake and the Gospels, 
\verseNumber{30}But he shall receiue an hundred folde, now at this present, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the world to come, eternall life. 
\verseNumber{31}But many that are first, shall be last, and the last, first. 
\verseNumber{32}And they were in the way going vp to Hierusalem, and Iesus went before them and they were troubled, and as they followed, they were afraide, and Iesus tooke the twelue againe, and began to tell them what things should come vnto him, 
\verseNumber{33}Saying, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and the Sonne of man shall be deliuered vnto the hie Priests, and to the Scribes, and they shall condemne him to death, and shall deliuer him to the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{34}And they shall mocke him, and scourge him, and spit vpon him, and kill him: but the third day he shall rise againe. 
\verseNumber{35}Then Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus came vnto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest doe for vs that we desire. 
\verseNumber{36}And he sayd vnto them, What would ye I should doe for you? 
\verseNumber{37}And they said to him, Graunt vnto vs, that we may sit, one at thy right hand, and the other at thy left hand in thy glory. 
\verseNumber{38}But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye knowe not what ye aske. Can ye drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme that I shall be baptized with? 
\verseNumber{39}And they said vnto him, We can. But Iesus sayd vnto them, Ye shall drinke in deede of the cup that I shall drinke of, and be baptized with the baptisme wherewith I shalbe baptized: 
\verseNumber{40}But to sit at my right hand, and at my left, is not mine to giue, but it shalbe giuen to them for whome it is prepared. 
\verseNumber{41}And when the ten heard that, they began to disdaine at Iames and Iohn. 
\verseNumber{42}But Iesus called them vnto him, and sayd to them, Ye know that they which are princes among the Gentiles, haue domination ouer them, and they that be great among them, exercise authoritie ouer them. 
\verseNumber{43}But it shall not be so among you: but whosoeuer will be great among you, shall be your seruant. 
\verseNumber{44}And whosoeuer will be chiefe of you, shall be the seruant of all. 
\verseNumber{45}For euen the Sonne of man came not to be serued, but to serue, and to giue his life for the raunsome of many. 
\verseNumber{46}Then they came to Iericho: and as he went out of Iericho with his disciples, and a great multitude, Bartimeus the sonne of Timeus, a blinde man, sate by the wayes side, begging. 
\verseNumber{47}And when hee heard that it was Iesus of Nazareth, he began to crye, and to say, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me. 
\verseNumber{48}And many rebuked him, because he should holde his peace: but hee cryed much more, O Sonne of Dauid, haue mercy on me. 
\verseNumber{49}Then Iesus stood still, and commanded him to be called: and they called the blind, saying vnto him, Be of good comfort: arise, he calleth thee. 
\verseNumber{50}So he threwe away his cloke, and rose, and came to Iesus. 
\verseNumber{51}And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And the blinde sayd vnto him, Lord, that I may receiue sight. 
\verseNumber{52}Then Iesus sayde vnto him, Goe thy way: thy fayth hath saued thee. And by and by, he receiued his sight, and folowed Iesus in the way.

\chapterNumber{11}And when they came neere to Hierusalem, to Bethphage and Bethania vnto the mount of Oliues, he sent forth two of his disciples, 
\verseNumber{2}And sayd vnto them, Goe your wayes into that towne that is ouer against you, and assoone as ye shall enter into it, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him. 
\verseNumber{3}And if any man say vnto you, Why doe ye this? Say that the Lord hath neede of him, and straightway he will send him hither. 
\verseNumber{4}And they went their way, and found a colt tyed by the doore without, in a place where two wayes met, and they loosed him. 
\verseNumber{5}Then certaine of them, that stoode there, sayd vnto them, What doe ye loosing the colt? 
\verseNumber{6}And they sayde vnto them, as Iesus had commanded them: So they let them goe. 
\verseNumber{7}And they brought the colte to Iesus, and cast their garments on him, and he sate vpon him. 
\verseNumber{8}And many spred their garments in the way: other cut downe branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. 
\verseNumber{9}And they that went before, and they that folowed, cryed, saying, Hosanna: blessed be hee that commeth in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}Blessed be the kingdome that commeth in the Name of the Lord of our father Dauid: Hosanna, O thou which art in the highest heauens. 
\verseNumber{11}So Iesus entred into Hierusalem, and into the Temple: and when he had looked about on all things, and now it was euening, he went forth vnto Bethania with the twelue. 
\verseNumber{12}And on the morowe when they were come out from Bethania, he was hungry. 
\verseNumber{13}And seeing a fig tree afarre off, that had leaues, he went to see if he might finde any thing thereon: but when he came vnto it, hee found nothing but leaues: for the time of figges was not yet. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Iesus answered, and sayd to it, Neuer man eate fruite of thee hereafter while the world standeth: and his disciples heard it. 
\verseNumber{15}And they came to Hierusalem, and Iesus went into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrewe the tables of the money changers, and the seates of them that solde doues. 
\verseNumber{16}Neither would hee suffer that any man should cary a vessell through the Temple. 
\verseNumber{17}And he taught, saying vnto them, Is it not written, Mine house shalbe called the house of prayer vnto all nations? but you haue made it a denne of theeues. 
\verseNumber{18}And the Scribes and hie Priestes heard it, and sought howe to destroy him: for they feared him, because the whole multitude was astonied at his doctrine. 
\verseNumber{19}But when euen was come, Iesus went out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{20}And in the morning as they iourneyed together, they saw the figge tree dried vp from the rootes. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Peter remembred, and said vnto him, Master, beholde, the figge tree which thou cursedst, is withered. 
\verseNumber{22}And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Haue the faith of God. 
\verseNumber{23}For verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer shall say vnto this mountaine, Be thou taken away, and cast into the sea, and shall not wauer in his heart, but shall beleeue that those things which he saieth, shall come to passe, whatsoeuer he saieth, shall be done to him. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye desire when ye pray, beleeue that ye shall haue it, and it shalbe done vnto you. 
\verseNumber{25}But when ye shall stand, and pray, forgiue, if ye haue any thing against any man, that your Father also which is in heauen, may forgiue you your trespasses. 
\verseNumber{26}For if you will not forgiue, your Father which is in heauen, will not pardon you your trespasses. 
\verseNumber{27}Then they came againe to Hierusalem: and as he walked in the Temple, there came to him ye hie Priestes, and the Scribes, and the Elders, 
\verseNumber{28}And said vnto him, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie, that thou shouldest doe these things? 
\verseNumber{29}Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, I will also aske of you a certaine thing, and answere ye me, and I will tell you by what authoritie I do these things. 
\verseNumber{30}The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men? answere me. 
\verseNumber{31}And they thought with themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then did ye not beleeue him? 
\verseNumber{32}But if we say, Of men, we feare the people: for all men counted Iohn, that he was a Prophet in deede. 
\verseNumber{33}Then they answered, and saide vnto Iesus, We cannot tell. And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Neither will I tell you by what authoritie I doe these things.

\chapterNumber{12}And he began to speake vnto them in parables, A certaine man planted a vineyard, and copassed it with an hedge, and digged a pit for the winepresse, and built a tower in it, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a strange countrey. 
\verseNumber{2}And at the time, he sent to the husbandmen a seruant, that he might receiue of the husbandmen of the fruite of the vineyard. 
\verseNumber{3}But they tooke him, and beat him, and sent him away emptie. 
\verseNumber{4}And againe he sent vnto them another seruant, and at him they cast stones, and brake his head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 
\verseNumber{5}And againe he sent another, and him they slew, and many other, beating some, and killing some. 
\verseNumber{6}Yet had he one sonne, his deare beloued: him also he sent the last vnto them, saying, They will reuerence my sonne. 
\verseNumber{7}But ye husbandmen said among themselues, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, and the inheritance shalbe ours. 
\verseNumber{8}So they tooke him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 
\verseNumber{9}What shall then the Lord of the vineyard doe? He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and giue the vineyard to others. 
\verseNumber{10}Haue ye not read so much as this Scripture? The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the head of the corner. 
\verseNumber{11}This was done of the Lord, and it is marueilous in our eyes. 
\verseNumber{12}Then they went about to take him, but they feared the people: for they perceiued that he spake that parable against them: therefore they left him, and went their way. 
\verseNumber{13}And they sent vnto him certaine of the Pharises, and of ye Herodians that they might take him in his talke. 
\verseNumber{14}And when they came, they saide vnto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou considerest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God truely, Is it lawfull to giue tribute to Cesar, or not? 
\verseNumber{15}Should we giue it, or should we not giue it? but he knew their hypocrisie, and said vnto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a peny, that I may see it. 
\verseNumber{16}So they brought it, and he said vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription? and they said vnto him, Cesars. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Giue to Cesar the things that are Cesars, and to God, those that are Gods: and they marueiled at him. 
\verseNumber{18}Then came the Sadduces vnto him, (which say, there is no resurrection) and they asked him, saying, 
\verseNumber{19}Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die, and leaue his wife, and leaue no children, that his brother should take his wife, and rayse vp seede vnto his brother. 
\verseNumber{20}There were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and when he died, left no issue. 
\verseNumber{21}Then the seconde tooke her, and he died, neither did he yet leaue issue, and the third likewise: 
\verseNumber{22}So those seuen had her, and left no yssue: last of all the wife died also. 
\verseNumber{23}In the resurrection then, when they shall rise againe, whose wife shall she be of them? for seuen had her to wife. 
\verseNumber{24}Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Are ye not therefore deceiued, because ye knowe not the Scriptures, neither the power of God? 
\verseNumber{25}For when they shall rise againe from the dead, neither men marry, nor wiues are married, but are as the Angels which are in heauen. 
\verseNumber{26}And as touching the dead, that they shall rise againe, haue ye not read in the booke of Moses, howe in the bush God spake vnto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? 
\verseNumber{27}God is not ye God of the dead, but the God of the liuing. Ye are therefore greatly deceiued. 
\verseNumber{28}Then came one of the Scribes that had heard them disputing together, and perceiuing that he had answered them well, he asked him, Which is the first commandement of all? 
\verseNumber{29}Iesus answered him, The first of all the commandements is, Heare, Israel, The Lord our God is the onely Lord. 
\verseNumber{30}Thou shalt therefore loue the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandement. 
\verseNumber{31}And the second is like, that is, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. There is none other commandement greater then these. 
\verseNumber{32}Then that Scribe said vnto him, Well, Master, thou hast saide the trueth, that there is one God, and that there is none but he, 
\verseNumber{33}And to loue him with all the heart, and with all the vnderstanding, and with all the soule, and with all the strength, and to loue his neighbour as himselfe, is more then all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 
\verseNumber{34}Then when Iesus saw that he answered discreetely, he saide vnto him, Thou art not farre from the kingdome of God. And no man after that durst aske him any question. 
\verseNumber{35}And Iesus answered and said teaching in the Temple, Howe say the Scribes that Christ is the sonne of Dauid? 
\verseNumber{36}For Dauid himselfe said by ye holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footestoole. 
\verseNumber{37}Then Dauid himselfe calleth him Lord: by what meanes is he then his sonne? and much people heard him gladly. 
\verseNumber{38}Moreouer he saide vnto them in his doctrine, Beware of the Scribes which loue to goe in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, 
\verseNumber{39}And the chiefe seates in the Synagogues, and the first roumes at feastes, 
\verseNumber{40}Which deuoure widowes houses, euen vnder a colour of long prayers. These shall receiue the greater damnation. 
\verseNumber{41}And as Iesus sate ouer against the treasurie, he beheld how the people cast money into the treasurie, and many rich men cast in much. 
\verseNumber{42}And there came a certaine poore widowe, and she threw in two mites, which make a quadrin. 
\verseNumber{43}Then he called vnto him his disciples, and said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast more in, then all they which haue cast into the treasurie. 
\verseNumber{44}For they all did cast in of their superfluitie: but she of her pouertie did cast in all that she had, euen all her liuing.

\chapterNumber{13}And as he went out of the Temple, one of his disciples said vnto him, Master, see what maner stones, and what maner buildings are here. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Iesus answered and saide vnto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe. 
\verseNumber{3}And as he sate on the mount of Oliues, ouer against the Temple, Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew asked him secretly, 
\verseNumber{4}Tell vs, when shall these things be? and what shalbe the signe when all these things shalbe fulfilled? 
\verseNumber{5}And Iesus answered them, and began to say, Take heede lest any man deceiue you. 
\verseNumber{6}For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and shall deceiue many. 
\verseNumber{7}Furthermore when ye shall heare, of warres, and rumours of warres, be ye not troubled: for such things must needes be: but the end shall not be yet. 
\verseNumber{8}For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, and there shalbe earthquakes in diuers quarters, and there shalbe famine and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorowes. 
\verseNumber{9}But take ye heede to your selues: for they shall deliuer you vp to the Councils, and to the Synagogues: ye shalbe beaten, and brought before rulers and Kings for my sake, for a testimoniall vnto them. 
\verseNumber{10}And the Gospel must first be published among all nations. 
\verseNumber{11}But when they leade you, and deliuer you vp, be not carefull before hand, neither studie what ye shall say: but what is giuen you at the same time, that speake: for it is not ye that speake, but the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{12}Yea, and the brother shall deliuer the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die. 
\verseNumber{13}And ye shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but whosoeuer shall endure vnto the end, he shalbe saued. 
\verseNumber{14}Moreouer, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation (spoken of by Daniel the Prophet) set where it ought not, (let him that readeth, consider it) then let them that be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines, 
\verseNumber{15}And let him that is vpon the house, not come downe into the house, neither enter therein, to fetch any thing out of his house. 
\verseNumber{16}And let him that is in the fielde, not turne backe againe to take his garment. 
\verseNumber{17}Then wo shalbe to the that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes. 
\verseNumber{18}Pray therefore that your flight be not in the winter. 
\verseNumber{19}For those dayes shalbe such tribulation, as was not from the beginning of ye creation which God created vnto this time, neither shalbe. 
\verseNumber{20}And except that the Lord had shortened those dayes, no flesh shoulde be saued: but for the elects sake, which he hath chosen, he hath shortened those dayes. 
\verseNumber{21}Then if any man say to you, Loe, here is Christ, or, lo, he is there, beleeue it not. 
\verseNumber{22}For false Christes shall rise, and false prophets, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceiue if it were possible the very elect. 
\verseNumber{23}But take ye heede: beholde, I haue shewed you all things before. 
\verseNumber{24}Moreouer in those dayes, after that tribulation, the sunne shall waxe darke, and ye moone shall not giue her light, 
\verseNumber{25}And the starres of heauen shall fall: and the powers which are in heauen, shall shake. 
\verseNumber{26}And then shall they see the Sonne of man comming in ye cloudes, with great power and glory. 
\verseNumber{27}And he shall then send his Angels, and shall gather together his elect from the foure windes, and from the vtmost part of the earth to the vtmost part of heauen. 
\verseNumber{28}Nowe learne a parable of the figge tree. When her bough is yet tender, and it bringeth foorth leaues, ye knowe that sommer is neere. 
\verseNumber{29}So in like maner, when ye see these things come to passe, knowe that the kingdom of God is neere, euen at the doores. 
\verseNumber{30}Verely I say vnto you, that this generation shall not passe, till all these things be done. 
\verseNumber{31}Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my woordes shall not passe away. 
\verseNumber{32}But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no, not the Angels which are in heauen, neither the Sonne himselfe, but the Father. 
\verseNumber{33}Take heede: watch, and praie: for yee knowe not when the time is. 
\verseNumber{34}For the Sonne of man is as a man going into a strange countrey, and leaueth his house, and giueth authoritie to his seruaunts, and to euery man his woorke, and commandeth the porter to watch. 
\verseNumber{35}Watch ye therefore, (for ye know not whe ye master of the house will come, at eue, or at midnight, at the cocke crowing, or in the dawning,) 
\verseNumber{36}Least if he come suddenly, he should finde you sleeping. 
\verseNumber{37}And those things that I say vnto you, I say vnto all men, Watch.

\chapterNumber{14}And two daies after followed the feast of the Passeouer, and of vnleauened bread: and the hie Priests, and Scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 
\verseNumber{2}But they sayde, Not in the feast day, least there be any tumult among the people. 
\verseNumber{3}And when hee was in Bethania in the house of Simon the leper, as he sate at table, there came a woman hauing a boxe of oyntment of spikenarde, very costly, and shee brake the boxe, and powred it on his head. 
\verseNumber{4}Therefore some disdained among themselues, and sayde, To what ende is this waste of oyntment? 
\verseNumber{5}For it might haue bene sold for more then three hundreth pence, and bene giuen vnto the poore, and they murmured against her. 
\verseNumber{6}But Iesus saide, Let her alone: why trouble yee her? shee hath wrought a good worke on me. 
\verseNumber{7}For yee haue the poore with you alwaies, and when yee will yee may doe them good, but me yee shall not haue alwaies. 
\verseNumber{8}She hath done that she coulde: she came afore hand to anoynt my body to the burying. 
\verseNumber{9}Verely I say vnto you, wheresoeuer this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done, shalbe spoken of in remembrance of her. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Iudas Iscariot, one of the twelue, went away vnto the hie Priestes, to betray him vnto them. 
\verseNumber{11}And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised that they woulde giue him monie: therefore he sought howe he might conueniently betraie him. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe the first day of vnleauened bread, when they sacrificed the Passeouer, his disciples sayde vnto him, Where wilt thou that we goe and prepare, that thou mayest eate the Passeouer? 
\verseNumber{13}Then hee sent foorth two of his disciples, and sayde vnto them, Goe yee into the citie, and there shall a man meete you bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 
\verseNumber{14}And whithersoeuer he goeth in, say yee to the good man of the house, The Master sayeth, Where is the lodging where I shall eate the Passeouer with my disciples? 
\verseNumber{15}And he wil shewe you an vpper chamber which is large, trimmed and prepared: there make it readie for vs. 
\verseNumber{16}So his disciples went foorth, and came to the citie, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{17}And at euen he came with the twelue. 
\verseNumber{18}And as they sate at table and did eate, Iesus said, Verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me, which eateth with me. 
\verseNumber{19}Then they began to be sorowful and to say to him one by one, Is it I? And another, Is it I? 
\verseNumber{20}And he answered and sayde vnto them, It is one of the twelue that dippeth with mee in the platter. 
\verseNumber{21}Truely the Sonne of man goeth his way, as it is written of him: but woe bee to that man, by whome the Sonne of man is betrayed: it had beene good for that man, if hee had neuer beene borne. 
\verseNumber{22}And as they did eate, Iesus tooke the bread, and when hee had giuen thankes, he brake it and gaue it to them, and sayde, Take, eate, this is my bodie. 
\verseNumber{23}Also he tooke the cuppe, and when he had giuen thankes, gaue it to them: and they all dranke of it. 
\verseNumber{24}And he saide vnto them, This is my blood of that newe Testament, which is shed for many. 
\verseNumber{25}Verely I say vnto you, I wil drinke no more of the fruit of ye vine vntill that day, that I drinke it newe in the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{26}And when they had sung a Psalme, they went out to the mount of Oliues. 
\verseNumber{27}Then Iesus said vnto them, Al ye shall be offended by mee this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepheard, and the sheepe shall be scattered. 
\verseNumber{28}But after that I am risen, I will goe into Galile before you. 
\verseNumber{29}And Peter saide vnto him, Although all men should be offended at thee, yet would not I. 
\verseNumber{30}Then Iesus saide vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, this day, euen in this night, before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie me thrise. 
\verseNumber{31}But he saide more earnestly. If I shoulde die with thee, I will not denie thee: likewise also saide they all. 
\verseNumber{32}After, they came into a place named Gethsemane: then hee saide to his disciples, Sit yee here, till I haue praied. 
\verseNumber{33}And hee tooke with him Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and hee began to be troubled, and in great heauinesse, 
\verseNumber{34}And saide vnto them, My soule is very heauie, euen vnto the death: tarie here, and watch. 
\verseNumber{35}So he went forward a litle, and fell downe on the ground, and praied, that if it were possible, that houre might passe from him. 
\verseNumber{36}And he saide, Abba, Father, all things are possible vnto thee: take away this cup from me: neuertheles not that I will, but that thou wilt, be done. 
\verseNumber{37}Then hee came, and founde them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watche one houre? 
\verseNumber{38}Watch ye, and pray, that ye enter not into tentation: the spirite in deede is ready, but the flesh is weake. 
\verseNumber{39}And againe hee went away, and praied, and spake the same wordes. 
\verseNumber{40}And he returned, and founde them a sleepe againe: for their eyes were heauie: neither knewe they what they should answere him. 
\verseNumber{41}And he came the third time, and said vnto them, Sleepe henceforth, and take your rest: it is ynough: the houre is come: beholde, the Sonne of man is deliuered into the hands of sinners. 
\verseNumber{42}Rise vp: let vs go: loe, he that betraieth me, is at hand. 
\verseNumber{43}And immediatly while hee yet spake, came Iudas that was one of the twelue, and with him a great multitude with swordes and staues from the hie Priests, and Scribes, and Elders. 
\verseNumber{44}And he that betraied him, had giuen them a token, saying, Whomsoeuer I shall kisse, he it is: take him and leade him away safely. 
\verseNumber{45}And assoone as hee was come, hee went straightway to him, and saide, Haile Master, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{46}Then they laide their handes on him, and tooke him. 
\verseNumber{47}And one of them that stoode by, drewe out a sword, and smote a seruant of the hie Priest, and cut off his eare. 
\verseNumber{48}And Iesus answered and saide to them, Ye be come out as against a thiefe with swordes, and with staues, to take me. 
\verseNumber{49}I was daily with you teaching in the Temple, and yee tooke me not: but this is done that the Scriptures should be fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{50}Then they all forsooke him, and fled. 
\verseNumber{51}And there followed him a certaine yong man, clothed in linnen vpon his bare bodie, and the yong men caught him. 
\verseNumber{52}But he left his linnen cloth, and fled from them naked. 
\verseNumber{53}So they led Iesus away to the hie Priest, and to him came together all the hie Priestes, and the Elders, and the Scribes. 
\verseNumber{54}And Peter folowed him afarre off, euen into the hall of the hie Priest, and sate with the seruants, and warmed himselfe at the fire. 
\verseNumber{55}And the hie Priests, and all the Councill sought for witnesse against Iesus, to put him to death, but found none. 
\verseNumber{56}For many bare false witnesse against him, but their witnesse agreed not together. 
\verseNumber{57}Then there arose certaine, and bare false witnesse against him, saying, 
\verseNumber{58}We hearde him say, I will destroy this Temple made with hands, and within three daies I will builde another, made without hands. 
\verseNumber{59}But their witnesse yet agreed not together. 
\verseNumber{60}Then the hie Priest stoode vp amongst them, and asked Iesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is the matter that these beare witnesse against thee? 
\verseNumber{61}But hee helde his peace, and answered nothing. Againe the hie Priest asked him, and sayde vnto him, Art thou that Christ the Sonne of the Blessed? 
\verseNumber{62}And Iesus said, I am he, and yee shall see the Sonne of man sitte at the right hande of the power of God, and come in the clouds of heauen. 
\verseNumber{63}Then the hie Priest rent his clothes, and sayd, What haue we any more neede of witnesses? 
\verseNumber{64}Ye haue heard the blasphemie: what thinke yee? And they all condemned him to be worthie of death. 
\verseNumber{65}And some began to spit at him, and to couer his face, and to beate him with fists, and to say vnto him, Prophesie. And the sergeants smote him with their roddes. 
\verseNumber{66}And as Peter was beneath in the hal, there came one of the maides of the hie Priest. 
\verseNumber{67}And when shee sawe Peter warming him selfe, shee looked on him, and sayde, Thou wast also with Iesus of Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{68}But he denied it, saying, I knowe him not, neither wot I what thou saiest. Then he went out into the porche, and the cocke crewe. 
\verseNumber{69}Then a maid sawe him againe, and bega to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. 
\verseNumber{70}But hee denied it againe: and anon after, they that stoode by, sayde againe to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art of Galile, and thy speach is like. 
\verseNumber{71}And he began to curse, and sweare, saying, I knowe not this man of whom ye speake. 
\verseNumber{72}Then the seconde time the cocke crewe, and Peter remembred the woorde that Iesus had saide vnto him, Before the cocke crowe twise, thou shalt denie me thrise, and waying that with himselfe, he wept. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{15}And anon in the dawning, the hie Priestes helde a Councill with the Elders, and the Scribes, and the whole Council, and bound Iesus, and led him away, and deliuered him to Pilate. 
\verseNumber{2}Then Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered, and sayde vnto him, Thou sayest it. 
\verseNumber{3}And the hie Priestes accused him of many things. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore Pilate asked him againe, saying, Answerest thou nothing? beholde howe many things they witnesse against thee. 
\verseNumber{5}But Iesus answered no more at all, so that Pilate marueiled. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe at the feast, Pilate did deliuer a prisoner vnto them, whomesoeuer they woulde desire. 
\verseNumber{7}Then there was one named Barabbas, which was bounde with his fellowes, that had made insurrection, who in the insurrection had committed murder. 
\verseNumber{8}And the people cried aloude, and began to desire that he woulde doe as he had euer done vnto them. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Pilate answered them, and said, Will ye that I let loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes? 
\verseNumber{10}For he knewe that the hie Priestes had deliuered him of enuie. 
\verseNumber{11}But the high Priestes had moued the people to desire that he would rather deliuer Barabbas vnto them. 
\verseNumber{12}And Pilate answered, and said againe vnto them, What will ye then that I doe with him, whom ye call the King of the Iewes? 
\verseNumber{13}And they cried againe, Crucifie him. 
\verseNumber{14}Then Pilate said vnto them, But what euill hath he done? And they cryed the more feruently, Crucifie him. 
\verseNumber{15}So Pilate willing to content the people, loosed them Barabbas, and deliuered Iesus, when he had scourged him, that he might be crucified. 
\verseNumber{16}Then the souldiers led him away into the hall, which is the common hall, and called together the whole band, 
\verseNumber{17}And clad him with purple, and platted a crowne of thornes, and put it about his head, 
\verseNumber{18}And began to salute him, saying, Haile, King of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{19}And they smote him on the head with a reede, and spat vpon him, and bowed the knees, and did him reuerence. 
\verseNumber{20}And whe they had mocked him, they tooke the purple off him, and put his owne clothes on him, and led him out to crucifie him. 
\verseNumber{21}And they compelled one that passed by, called Simon of Cyrene (which came out of the countrey, and was father of Alexander and Rufus) to beare his crosse. 
\verseNumber{22}And they brought him to a place named Golgotha, which is by interpretation, the place of dead mens skulles. 
\verseNumber{23}And they gaue him to drinke wine mingled with myrrhe: but he receiued it not. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them, what euery man should haue. 
\verseNumber{25}And it was the third houre, when they crucified him. 
\verseNumber{26}And ye title of his cause was written aboue, THAT KING OF THE JEWES. 
\verseNumber{27}They crucified also with him two theeues, the one on ye right hand, and the other on his left. 
\verseNumber{28}Thus the Scripture was fulfilled, which sayth, And he was counted among the wicked. 
\verseNumber{29}And they that went by, railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Hey, thou that destroyest the Temple, and buildest it in three dayes, 
\verseNumber{30}Saue thy selfe, and come downe from the crosse. 
\verseNumber{31}Likewise also euen the hie Priests mocking, said among themselues with the Scribes, He saued other men, himselfe he cannot saue. 
\verseNumber{32}Let Christ the King of Israel nowe come downe from the crosse, that we may see, and beleeue. They also that were crucified with him, reuiled him. 
\verseNumber{33}Nowe when the sixt houre was come, darkenesse arose ouer all the land vntill the ninth houre. 
\verseNumber{34}And at the ninth houre Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lamma-sabachthani? which is by interpretation, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 
\verseNumber{35}And some of them that stoode by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 
\verseNumber{36}And one ranne, and filled a spondge full of vineger, and put it on a reede, and gaue him to drinke, saying, Let him alone: let vs see if Elias will come, and take him downe. 
\verseNumber{37}And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and gaue vp the ghost. 
\verseNumber{38}And the vaile of the Temple was rent in twaine, from the toppe to the bottome. 
\verseNumber{39}Nowe when the Centurion, which stoode ouer against him, sawe that he thus crying gaue vp the ghost, he saide, Truely this man was the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{40}There were also women, which beheld afarre off, among whom was Marie Magdalene, and Marie (the mother of Iames the lesse, and of Ioses) and Salome, 
\verseNumber{41}Which also when he was in Galile, folowed him, and ministred vnto him, and many other women which came vp with him vnto Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{42}And nowe when the night was come (because it was the day of the preparation that is before the Sabbath) 
\verseNumber{43}Ioseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellour, which also looked for the kingdome of God, came, and went in boldly vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus. 
\verseNumber{44}And Pilate marueiled, if he were already dead, and called vnto him the Centurion, and asked of him whether he had bene any while dead. 
\verseNumber{45}And when he knewe the trueth of the Centurion, he gaue the body to Ioseph: 
\verseNumber{46}Who bought a linnen cloth, and tooke him downe, and wrapped him in the linnen cloth, and laide him in a tombe that was hewen out of a rocke, and rolled a stone vnto the doore of the sepulchre: 
\verseNumber{47}And Marie Magdalene, and Marie Ioses mother, behelde where he should be layed. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}And when the Sabbath day was past, Marie Magdalene, and Marie the mother of Iames, and Salome, bought sweete oyntments, that they might come, and anoynt him. 
\verseNumber{2}Therefore early in the morning, the first day of the weeke, they came vnto the sepulchre, when the Sunne was nowe risen. 
\verseNumber{3}And they saide one to another, Who shall rolle vs away the stone from the doore of the sepulchre? 
\verseNumber{4}And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away (for it was a very great one) 
\verseNumber{5}So they went into the sepulchre, and saw a yong man sitting at the right side, clothed in a long white robe: and they were sore troubled. 
\verseNumber{6}But he said vnto them, Be not so troubled: ye seeke Iesus of Nazareth, which hath bene crucified: he is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they put him. 
\verseNumber{7}But goe your way, and tell his disciples, and Peter, that he will goe before you into Galile: there shall ye see him, as he said vnto you. 
\verseNumber{8}And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre: for they trembled, and were amased: neither said they any thing to any man: for they were afraide. 
\verseNumber{9}And when Iesus was risen againe, early the first day of the weeke, he appeared first to Marie Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seuen deuils: 
\verseNumber{10}And shee went and tolde them that had bene with him, which mourned and wept. 
\verseNumber{11}And when they heard that he was aliue, and had appeared to her, they beleeued it not. 
\verseNumber{12}After that, he appeared vnto two of them in an other forme, as they walked and went into the countrey. 
\verseNumber{13}And they went, and told it to the remnant, neither beleeued they them. 
\verseNumber{14}Finally, he appeared vnto the eleuen as they sate together, and reproched them for their vnbeliefe and hardnesse of heart, because they beleeued not them which had seene him, being risen vp againe. 
\verseNumber{15}And he saide vnto them, Goe ye into all the worlde, and preach the Gospel to euery creature. 
\verseNumber{16}He that shall beleeue and be baptized, shalbe saued: but he that will not beleeue, shalbe damned. 
\verseNumber{17}And these tokens shall folowe them that beleeue, In my Name they shall cast out deuils, and shall speake with newe tongues, 
\verseNumber{18}And shall take away serpents, and if they shall drinke any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their handes on the sicke, and they shall recouer. 
\verseNumber{19}So after ye Lord had spoken vnto them, he was receiued into heauen, and sate at the right hand of God. 
\verseNumber{20}And they went foorth, and preached euery where. And the Lord wrought with them, and confirmed the worde with signes that folowed. Amen.

\BibleMainTitle{THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. LUKE }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Forasmuch as many haue taken in hand to set foorth the storie of those things, whereof we are fully persuaded, 
\verseNumber{2}As they haue deliuered them vnto vs, which from the beginning saw them their selues, and were ministers of ye word, 
\verseNumber{3}It seemed good also to me (most noble Theophilus) assoone as I had searched out perfectly all things from the beginning, to write vnto thee thereof from point to point, 
\verseNumber{4}That thou mightest acknowledge the certaintie of those things, whereof thou hast bene instructed. 
\verseNumber{5}In the time of Herod King of Iudea, there was a certaine Priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabet. 
\verseNumber{6}Both were iust before God, and walked in all the commandements and ordinances of the Lord, without reproofe. 
\verseNumber{7}And they had no childe, because that Elisabet was barren: and both were well stricken in age. 
\verseNumber{8}And it came to passe, as he executed the Priestes office before God, as his course came in order, 
\verseNumber{9}According to the custome of the Priests office, his lot was to burne incense, when he went into the Temple of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}And the whole multitude of the people were without in prayer, while the incense was burning. 
\verseNumber{11}Then appeared vnto him an Angel of the Lord standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 
\verseNumber{12}And when Zacharias sawe him, he was troubled, and feare fell vpon him. 
\verseNumber{13}But the Angel saide vnto him, Feare not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard, and thy wise Elisabet shall beare thee a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Iohn. 
\verseNumber{14}And thou shalt haue ioy and gladnes, and many shall reioyce at his birth. 
\verseNumber{15}For he shalbe great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drinke wine, nor strong drinke: and he shalbe filled with the holy Ghost, euen from his mothers wombe. 
\verseNumber{16}And many of the children of Israel shall he turne to their Lord God. 
\verseNumber{17}For he shall goe before him in the spirite and power of Elias, to turne the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisedome of the iust men, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Then Zacharias said vnto ye Angel, Whereby shall I knowe this? for I am an olde man, and my wife is of a great age. 
\verseNumber{19}And the Angell answered, and sayde vnto him, I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speake vnto thee, and to shew thee these good tidings. 
\verseNumber{20}And beholde, thou shalt be domme, and not be able to speake, vntill the day that these things be done, because thou beleeuedst not my words, which shalbe fulfilled in their season. 
\verseNumber{21}Now the people waited for Zacharias, and marueiled that he taried so long in the Temple. 
\verseNumber{22}And when hee came out, hee coulde not speake vnto them: then they perceiued that hee had seene a vision in the Temple: For he made signes vnto them, and remained domme. 
\verseNumber{23}And it came to passe, when the daies of his office were fulfilled, that he departed to his owne house. 
\verseNumber{24}And after those daies, his wife Elisabet conceiued, and hid her selfe fiue moneths, saying, 
\verseNumber{25}Thus hath the Lord dealt with me, in the daies wherein he looked on me, to take from me my rebuke among men. 
\verseNumber{26}And in the sixth moneth, the Angell Gabriel was sent from God vnto a citie of Galile, named Nazareth, 
\verseNumber{27}To a virgin affianced to a man whose name was Ioseph, of the house of Dauid, and the virgins name was Marie. 
\verseNumber{28}And the Angel went in vnto her, and said, Haile thou that art freely beloued: the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 
\verseNumber{29}And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and thought what maner of salutation that should be. 
\verseNumber{30}Then the Angel saide vnto her, Feare not, Marie: for thou hast found fauour with God. 
\verseNumber{31}For loe, thou shalt conceiue in thy wobe, and beare a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus. 
\verseNumber{32}He shall be great, and shall be called the Sonne of the most High, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid. 
\verseNumber{33}And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome shall bee none ende. 
\verseNumber{34}Then sayde Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I knowe not man? 
\verseNumber{35}And the Angel answered, and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the most High shall ouershadowe thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall be called the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{36}And behold, thy cousin Elisabet, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her olde age: and this is her sixt moneth, which was called barren. 
\verseNumber{37}For with God shall nothing be vnpossible. 
\verseNumber{38}Then Marie said, Behold the seruant of the Lord: be it vnto me according to thy woorde. So the Angel departed from her. 
\verseNumber{39}And Marie arose in those daies, and went into ye hil countrey with hast to a citie of Iuda, 
\verseNumber{40}And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabet. 
\verseNumber{41}And it came to passe, as Elisabet heard the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her bellie, and Elisabet was filled with the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{42}And she cried with a loud voice, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, because the fruit of thy wombe is blessed. 
\verseNumber{43}And whence commeth this to mee, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 
\verseNumber{44}For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my bellie for ioye, 
\verseNumber{45}And blessed is shee that beleeued: for those things shall be perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{46}Then Marie sayde, My soule magnifieth the Lord, 
\verseNumber{47}And my spirite reioyceth in God my Sauiour. 
\verseNumber{48}For hee hath looked on the poore degree of his seruaunt: for beholde, from henceforth shall all ages call me blessed, 
\verseNumber{49}Because hee that is mightie, hath done for me great things, and holy is his Name. 
\verseNumber{50}And his mercie is from generation to generation on them that feare him. 
\verseNumber{51}Hee hath shewed strength with his arme: hee hath scattered the proude in the imagination of their hearts. 
\verseNumber{52}Hee hath put downe the mighty from their seates, and exalted them of lowe degree. 
\verseNumber{53}Hee hath filled the hungrie with good things, and sent away the rich emptie. 
\verseNumber{54}Hee hath vpholden Israel his seruaunt to be mindefull of his mercie 
\verseNumber{55}(As hee hath spoken to our fathers, to wit, to Abraham, and his seede) for euer. 
\verseNumber{56}And Marie abode with her about three moneths: after, shee returned to her owne house. 
\verseNumber{57}Nowe Elisabets time was fulfilled, that shee should be deliuered, and shee brought foorth a sonne. 
\verseNumber{58}And her neighbours, and cousins heard tell howe the Lord had shewed his great mercie vpon her, and they reioyced with her. 
\verseNumber{59}And it was so that on the eight day they came to circumcise the babe, and called him Zacharias after the name of his father. 
\verseNumber{60}But his mother answered, and saide, Not so, but he shalbe called Iohn. 
\verseNumber{61}And they saide vnto her, There is none of thy kindred, that is named with this name. 
\verseNumber{62}Then they made signes to his father, howe he would haue him called. 
\verseNumber{63}So hee asked for writing tables, and wrote, saying, His name is Iohn, and they marueiled all. 
\verseNumber{64}And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue, and he spake and praised God. 
\verseNumber{65}Then feare came on all them that dwelt neere vnto them, and all these woordes were noised abroade throughout all the hill countrey of Iudea. 
\verseNumber{66}And al they that heard them, laid them vp in their hearts, saying, What maner childe shall this be! and the hand of the Lord was with him. 
\verseNumber{67}Then his father Zacharias was filled with the holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 
\verseNumber{68}Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, because he hath visited and redeemed his people, 
\verseNumber{69}And hath raised vp the horne of saluation vnto vs, in the house of his seruant Dauid, 
\verseNumber{70}As he spake by ye mouth of his holy Prophets, which were since the world began, saying, 
\verseNumber{71}That he would sende vs deliuerance from our enemies, and from the hands of all that hate vs, 
\verseNumber{72}That he might shewe mercie towards our fathers, and remember his holy couenant, 
\verseNumber{73}And the othe which he sware to our father Abraham. 
\verseNumber{74}Which was, that he would graunt vnto vs, that we being deliuered out of the handes of our enemies, should serue him without feare, 
\verseNumber{75}All the daies of our life, in holinesse and righteousnesse before him. 
\verseNumber{76}And thou, babe, shalt be called the Prophet of the most High: for thou shalt goe before the face of the Lord, to prepare his waies, 
\verseNumber{77}And to giue knowledge of saluation vnto his people, by the remission of their sinnes, 
\verseNumber{78}Through ye tender mercy of our God, wherby the day spring from an hie hath visited vs, 
\verseNumber{79}To giue light to them that sit in darknes, and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feete into the way of peace. 
\verseNumber{80}And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the wildernesse, til the day came that he should shewe him selfe vnto Israel.

\chapterNumber{2}And it came to passe in those dayes, that there came a decree from Augustus Cesar, that all the world should be taxed. 
\verseNumber{2}(This first taxing was made when Cyrenius was gouernour of Syria.) 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore went all to be taxed, euery man to his owne Citie. 
\verseNumber{4}And Ioseph also went vp from Galile out of a citie called Nazareth, into Iudea, vnto the citie of Dauid, which is called Beth-leem (because he was of the house and linage of Dauid,) 
\verseNumber{5}To bee taxed with Marie that was giuen him to wife, which was with childe. 
\verseNumber{6}And so it was, that while they were there, the daies were accomplished that shee shoulde be deliuered, 
\verseNumber{7}And she brought foorth her first begotten sonne, and wrapped him in swadling clothes, and laide him in a cratch, because there was no roome for them in the ynne. 
\verseNumber{8}And there were in the same countrey shepheards, abiding in the fielde, and keeping watch by night ouer their flocke. 
\verseNumber{9}And loe, the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and the glorie of the Lord shone about them, and they were sore afraide. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the Angel saide vnto them, Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great ioy, that shalbe to all the people, 
\verseNumber{11}That is, that vnto you is borne this day in the citie of Dauid, a Sauiour, which is Christ the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}And this shalbe a signe to you, Yee shall finde the babe swadled, and laid in a cratch. 
\verseNumber{13}And straightway there was with the Angel a multitude of heauenly souldiers, praising God, and saying, 
\verseNumber{14}Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will. 
\verseNumber{15}And it came to passe whe the Angels were gone away from them into heauen, that the shepheards sayde one to another, Let vs goe then vnto Beth-leem, and see this thing that is come to passe which the Lord hath shewed vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{16}So they came with haste, and founde both Marie and Ioseph, and the babe laid in the cratch. 
\verseNumber{17}And when they had seene it, they published abroade the thing, that was tolde them of that childe. 
\verseNumber{18}And all that heard it, wondred at ye things which were tolde them of the shepheards. 
\verseNumber{19}But Mary kept all those sayings, and pondred them in her heart. 
\verseNumber{20}And the shepheardes returned glorifiyng and praising God, for all that they had heard and seene as it was spoken vnto them. 
\verseNumber{21}And when the eight daies were accomplished, that they shoulde circumcise the childe, his name was then called Iesus, which was named of the Angell, before he was conceiued in the wombe. 
\verseNumber{22}And when the daies of her purification after the Lawe of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Hierusalem, to present him to the Lord, 
\verseNumber{23}(As it is written in the Lawe of the Lord, Euery man childe that first openeth ye wombe, shalbe called holy to the Lord) 
\verseNumber{24}And to giue an oblation, as it is commanded in the Lawe of the Lord, a paire of turtle doues, or two yong pigeons. 
\verseNumber{25}And behold, there was a man in Hierusalem, whose name was Simeon: this man was iust, and feared God, and waited for the consolation of Israel, and the holy Ghost was vpon him. 
\verseNumber{26}And it was declared to him from God by the holy Ghost, that he shoulde not see death, before he had seene that Anointed of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{27}And he came by the motion of the spirit into the Temple, and when the parents brought in the babe Iesus, to do for him after the custome of the Lawe, 
\verseNumber{28}Then hee tooke him in his armes, and praised God, and sayd, 
\verseNumber{29}Lord, nowe lettest thou thy seruaunt depart in peace, according to thy woorde, 
\verseNumber{30}For mine eyes haue seene thy saluation, 
\verseNumber{31}Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, 
\verseNumber{32}A light to be reueiled to the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 
\verseNumber{33}And Ioseph and his mother marueiled at those things, which were spoken touching him. 
\verseNumber{34}And Simeon blessed them, and saide vnto Mary his mother, Beholde, this childe is appointed for the fall and rising againe of many in Israel, and for a signe which shalbe spoken against, 
\verseNumber{35}(Yea and a sworde shall pearce through thy soule) that the thoughts of many heartes may be opened. 
\verseNumber{36}And there was a Prophetesse, one Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser, which was of a great age, after she had liued with an husband seuen yeeres from her virginitie: 
\verseNumber{37}And she was widowe about foure score and foure yeeres, and went not out of the Temple, but serued God with fastings and prayers, night and day. 
\verseNumber{38}She then coming at the same instant vpon them, confessed likewise the Lord, and spake of him to all that looked for redemption in Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{39}And when they had performed all thinges according to the lawe of the Lord, they returned into Galile to their owne citie Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{40}And the childe grewe, and waxed strong in Spirit, and was filled with wisedome, and the grace of God was with him. 
\verseNumber{41}Nowe his parents went to Hierusalem euery yeere, at the feast of the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{42}And when hee was twelue yeere olde, and they were come vp to Hierusalem, after the custome of the feast, 
\verseNumber{43}And had finished the dayes thereof, as they returned, the childe Iesus remained in Hierusalem, and Ioseph knew not, nor his mother, 
\verseNumber{44}But they supposing, that he had bene in the company, went a dayes iourney, and sought him among their kinsfolke, and acquaintance. 
\verseNumber{45}And when they found him not, they turned backe to Hierusalem, and sought him. 
\verseNumber{46}And it came to passe three dayes after, that they found him in the Temple, sitting in the mids of the doctours, both hearing them, and asking them questions: 
\verseNumber{47}And all that heard him, were astonied at his vnderstanding and answeres. 
\verseNumber{48}So when they sawe him, they were amased, and his mother said vnto him, Sonne, why hast thou thus dealt with vs? beholde, thy father and I haue sought thee with very heauie hearts. 
\verseNumber{49}Then said he vnto them, Howe is it that ye sought me? knewe ye not that I must goe about my Fathers busines? 
\verseNumber{50}But they vnderstoode not the word that he spake to them. 
\verseNumber{51}Then hee went downe with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subiect to them: and his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 
\verseNumber{52}And Iesus increased in wisedome, and stature, and in fauour with God and men.

\chapterNumber{3}Nowe in the fifteenth yeere of the reigne of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being gouernour of Iudea, and Herod being Tetrarch of Galile, and his brother Philip Tetrarch of Iturea, and of the countrey of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the Tetrarch of Abilene, 
\verseNumber{2}(When Annas and Caiaphas were the hie Priestes) the worde of God came vnto Iohn, the sonne of Zacharias in the wildernes. 
\verseNumber{3}And hee came into all the coastes about Iordan, preaching the baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes, 
\verseNumber{4}As it is written in the booke of the sayings of Esaias the Prophet, which saith, The voyce of him that crieth in the wildernes is, Prepare ye the way of the Lord: make his paths straight. 
\verseNumber{5}Euery valley shalbe filled, and euery mountaine and hill shall be brought lowe, and crooked things shalbe made straight, and the rough wayes shalbe made smoothe. 
\verseNumber{6}And all flesh shall see the saluation of God. 
\verseNumber{7}Then said he to the people that were come out to be baptized of him, O generations of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the wrath to come? 
\verseNumber{8}Bring foorth therefore fruites worthy amendment of life, and beginne not to say with your selues, We haue Abraham to our father: for I say vnto you, that God is able of these stones to raise vp children vnto Abraham. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe also is the axe layed vnto the roote of the trees: therefore euery tree which bringeth not foorth good fruite, shalbe hewen downe, and cast into the fire. 
\verseNumber{10}Then the people asked him, saying, What shall we doe then? 
\verseNumber{11}And he answered, and said vnto them, He that hath two coates, let him part with him that hath none: and hee that hath meate, let him doe likewise. 
\verseNumber{12}Then came there Publicanes also to bee baptized, and saide vnto him, Master, what shall we doe? 
\verseNumber{13}And hee saide vnto them, Require no more then that which is appointed vnto you. 
\verseNumber{14}The souldiers likewise demaunded of him, saying, And what shall we doe? And he saide vnto them, Doe violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely, and be content with your wages. 
\verseNumber{15}As the people waited, and all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, if he were not that Christ, 
\verseNumber{16}Iohn answered, and saide to them all, In deede I baptize you with water, but one stronger then I, commeth, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose: hee will baptize you with the holy Ghost, and with fire. 
\verseNumber{17}Whose fanne is in his hande, and hee will make cleane his floore, and will gather the wheate into his garner, but the chaffe will hee burne vp with fire that neuer shalbe quenched. 
\verseNumber{18}Thus then exhorting with many other things, he preached vnto the people. 
\verseNumber{19}But when Herod the Tetrarch was rebuked of him, for Herodias his brother Philips wife, and for all the euils which Herod had done,

\chapterNumber{4}And Iesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Iordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wildernes, 
\verseNumber{2}And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, and in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaund this stone that it be made bread. 
\verseNumber{4}But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God. 
\verseNumber{5}Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye. 
\verseNumber{6}And the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it. 
\verseNumber{7}If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine. 
\verseNumber{8}But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue. 
\verseNumber{9}Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,

\verseNumber{14}And Iesus returned by the power of the spirite into Galile: and there went a fame of him throughout all the region round about. 
\verseNumber{15}For he taught in their Synagogues, and was honoured of all men. 
\verseNumber{16}And hee came to Nazareth where hee had bene brought vp, and (as his custome was) went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stoode vp to reade. 
\verseNumber{17}And there was deliuered vnto him the booke of the Prophet Esaias: and when hee had opened the booke, hee founde the place, where it was written, 
\verseNumber{18}The Spirit of the Lord is vpon mee, because he hath anoynted me, that I should preach the Gospel to the poore: he hath sent mee, that I should heale the broken hearted, that I should preach deliuerance to the captiues, and recouering of sight to the blinde, that I should set at libertie them that are bruised: 
\verseNumber{19}And that I should preache the acceptable yeere of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}And hee closed the booke, and gaue it againe to the minister, and sate downe: and the eyes of all that were in the Synagogue were fastened on him. 
\verseNumber{21}Then he began to say vnto them, This day is the Scripture fulfilled in your eares. 
\verseNumber{22}And all bare him witnes, and wondered at the gracious wordes, which proceeded out of his mouth, and said, Is not this Iosephs sonne? 
\verseNumber{23}Then he said vnto them, Ye will surely say vnto mee this prouerbe, Physician, heale thy selfe: whatsoeuer we haue heard done in Capernaum, doe it here likewise in thine owne countrey. 
\verseNumber{24}And he saide, Verely I say vnto you, No Prophet is accepted in his owne countrey. 
\verseNumber{25}But I tell you of a trueth, many widowes were in Israel in the dayes of Elias, when heauen was shut three yeres and sixe moneths, when great famine was throughout all the land: 
\verseNumber{26}But vnto none of them was Elias sent, saue into Sarepta, a citie of Sidon, vnto a certaine widowe. 
\verseNumber{27}Also many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the Prophet: yet none of them was made cleane, sauing Naaman the Syrian.

\verseNumber{29}And rose vp, and thrust him out of the citie, and led him vnto the edge of the hil, whereon their citie was built, to cast him downe headlong. 
\verseNumber{30}But he passed through the middes of them, and went his way, 
\verseNumber{31}And came downe into Capernaum a citie of Galile, and there taught them on the Sabbath dayes. 
\verseNumber{32}And they were astonied at his doctrine: for his worde was with authoritie. 
\verseNumber{33}And in the Synagogue there was a man which had a spirit of an vncleane deuill, which cryed with a loude voyce, 
\verseNumber{34}Saying, Oh, what haue we to doe with thee, thou Iesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy vs? I know who thou art, euen the holy one of God. 
\verseNumber{35}And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. Then the deuill throwing him in the middes of them, came out of him, and hurt him nothing at all. 
\verseNumber{36}So feare came on them all, and they spake among themselues, saying, What thing is this: for with authoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirits, and they come out? 
\verseNumber{37}And ye fame of him spred abroad throughout all the places of the countrey round about. 
\verseNumber{38}And he rose vp, and came out of the Synagogue, and entred into Simons house. And Simons wiues mother was taken with a great feuer, and they required him for her. 
\verseNumber{39}Then he stoode ouer her, and rebuked the feuer, and it left her, and immediatly she arose, and ministred vnto them. 
\verseNumber{40}Now at the sunne setting, all they that had sicke folkes of diuers diseases, brought them vnto him, and he layd his hands on euery one of them, and healed them. 
\verseNumber{41}And deuils also came out of many, crying, and saying, Thou art that Christ that Sonne of God: but he rebuked them, and suffered them not to say that they knewe him to be that Christ. 
\verseNumber{42}And when it was day, he departed, and went foorth into a desart place, and the people sought him, and came to him, and kept him that he should not depart from them.

\chapterNumber{5}Then it came to passe, as the people preassed vpon him to heare the word of God, that he stoode by the lake of Gennesaret,

\verseNumber{3}And he entred into one of the ships, which was Simons, and required him that he would thrust off a litle from the land: and he sate downe, and taught the people out of the ship. 
\verseNumber{4}Now when he had left speaking, he sayd vnto Simon, Lanch out into the deepe, and let downe your nettes to make a draught.

\verseNumber{6}And when they had so done, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, so that their net brake. 
\verseNumber{7}And they beckened to their parteners, which were in the other ship, that they shoulde come and helpe them, who came then, and filled both the ships, that they did sinke. 
\verseNumber{8}Now when Simon Peter saw it, he fel down at Iesus knees, saying, Lord, go from me: for I am a sinfull man.

\verseNumber{10}And so was also Iames and Iohn the sonnes of Zebedeus, which were companions with Simon. Then Iesus sayde vnto Simon, Feare not: from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 
\verseNumber{11}And when they had brought the ships to land, they forsooke all, and followed him. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe it came to passe, as he was in a certaine citie, beholde, there was a man full of leprosie, and when he sawe Iesus, he fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. 
\verseNumber{13}So he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, be thou cleane. And immediately the leprosie departed from him. 
\verseNumber{14}And he commanded him that hee should tell it no man: but Go, sayth he, and shew thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing, as Moses hath commanded, for a witnes vnto them. 
\verseNumber{15}But so much more went there a fame abroad of him, and great multitudes came together to heare, and to be healed of him of their infirmities.

\verseNumber{17}And it came to passe, on a certaine day, as he was teaching, that the Pharises and doctours of the Law sate by, which were come out of euery towne of Galile, and Iudea, and Hierusalem, and the power of the Lord was in him to heale them. 
\verseNumber{18}Then beholde, men brought a man lying in a bed, which was taken with a palsie, and they sought meanes to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 
\verseNumber{19}And when they could not finde by what way they might bring him in, because of the preasse, they went vp on the house, and let him downe through the tyling, bed and all, in the middes before Iesus. 
\verseNumber{20}And when he sawe their faith, he sayd vnto him, Man, thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 
\verseNumber{21}Then the Scribes and the Pharises began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who can forgiue sinnes, but God onely? 
\verseNumber{22}But when Iesus perceiued their reasoning, he answered, and sayd vnto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 
\verseNumber{23}Whether is easier to say, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee, or to say, Rise and walke? 
\verseNumber{24}But that ye may know that that Sonne of man hath authoritie to forgiue sinnes in earth, (he sayd vnto the sicke of the palsie) I say to thee, Arise: take vp thy bed, and goe to thine house. 
\verseNumber{25}And immediatly he rose vp before them, and tooke vp his bed whereon he lay, and departed to his owne house, praysing God. 
\verseNumber{26}And they were all amased, and praysed God, and were filled with feare, saying, Doutlesse we haue seene strange things to day. 
\verseNumber{27}And after that, he went foorth and sawe a Publicane named Leui, sitting at the receite of custome, and sayd vnto him, Follow me. 
\verseNumber{28}And he left all, rose vp, and folowed him. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Leui made him a great feast in his owne house, where there was a great company of Publicanes, and of other that sate at table with them. 
\verseNumber{30}But they that were Scribes and Pharises among them, murmured against his disciples, saying, Why eate ye and drinke ye with Publicanes and sinners? 
\verseNumber{31}Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, They that are whole, neede not the Physician, but they that are sicke. 
\verseNumber{32}I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 
\verseNumber{33}Then they said vnto him, Why do the disciples of Iohn fast often, and pray, and the disciples of the Pharises also, but thine eate and drinke? 
\verseNumber{34}And he said vnto them, Can ye make the children of the wedding chamber to fast, as long as the bridegrome is with them? 
\verseNumber{35}But the dayes will come, euen when the bridegrome shalbe taken away from them: then shall they fast in those dayes. 
\verseNumber{36}Againe he spake also vnto them a parable, No man putteth a piece of a newe garment into an olde vesture: for then the newe renteth it, and the piece taken out of the newe, agreeth not with the olde. 
\verseNumber{37}Also no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: for then ye new wine wil breake the vessels, and it will runne out, and the vessels will perish: 
\verseNumber{38}But newe wine must be powred into newe vessels: so both are preserued.

\verseNumber{5}And he sayd vnto them, The Sonne of man is Lord also of the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{6}It came to passe also on another Sabbath, that hee entred into the Synagogue, and taught, and there was a man, whose right hand was dryed vp. 
\verseNumber{7}And the Scribes and Pharises watched him, whether he would heale on the Sabbath day, that they might finde an accusation against him. 
\verseNumber{8}But he knew their thoughts, and sayd to the man which had the withered hand, Arise, and stand vp in the middes. And hee arose, and stoode vp. 
\verseNumber{9}Then sayd Iesus vnto them, I will aske you a question, Whether is it lawfull on the Sabbath dayes to doe good, or to doe euill? to saue life, or to destroy? 
\verseNumber{10}And he behelde them all in compasse, and sayd vnto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he did so, and his hand was restored againe, as whole as the other. 
\verseNumber{11}Then they were filled full of madnes, and communed one with another, what they might doe to Iesus. 
\verseNumber{12}And it came to passe in those dayes, that he went into a mountaine to praye, and spent the night in prayer to God. 
\verseNumber{13}And when it was day, he called his disciples, and of them he chose twelue which also he called Apostles. 
\verseNumber{14}(Simon whome he named also Peter, and Andrew his brother, Iames and Iohn, Philippe and Bartlemewe: 
\verseNumber{15}Matthewe and Thomas: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelous, 
\verseNumber{16}Iudas Iames brother, and Iudas Iscariot, which also was the traitour.) 
\verseNumber{17}Then he came downe with them, and stood in a plaine place, with the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Iudea, and Hierusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyrus and Sidon, which came to heare him, and to be healed of their diseases: 
\verseNumber{18}And they that were vexed with foule spirits, and they were healed. 
\verseNumber{19}And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went vertue out of him, and healed them all. 
\verseNumber{20}And hee lifted vp his eyes vpon his disciples, and sayd, Blessed be ye poore: for yours is the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{21}Blessed are ye that hunger nowe: for ye shalbe satisfied: blessed are ye that weepe now: for ye shall laugh. 
\verseNumber{22}Blessed are ye when men hate you, and when they separate you, and reuile you, and put out your name as euill, for the Sonne of mans sake. 
\verseNumber{23}Reioyce ye in that day, and be glad: for beholde, your reward is great in heauen: for after this maner their fathers did to the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{24}But wo be to you that are rich: for ye haue receiued your consolation. 
\verseNumber{25}Wo be to you that are full: for ye shall hunger. Wo be to you that now laugh: for ye shall wayle and weepe. 
\verseNumber{26}Wo be to you when all men speake well of you: for so did their fathers to the false prophets. 
\verseNumber{27}But I say vnto you which heare, Loue your enemies: doe well to them which hate you. 
\verseNumber{28}Blesse them that curse you, and pray for them which hurt you. 
\verseNumber{29}And vnto him that smiteth thee on ye one cheeke, offer also the other: and him that taketh away thy cloke, forbid not to take thy coate also. 
\verseNumber{30}Giue to euery man that asketh of thee: and of him that taketh away the things that be thine, aske them not againe. 
\verseNumber{31}And as ye would that men should doe to you, so doe ye to them likewise. 
\verseNumber{32}For if yee loue them which loue you, what thanke shall ye haue? for euen the sinners loue those that loue them. 
\verseNumber{33}And if ye do good for them which do good for you, what thanke shall ye haue? for euen the sinners doe the same. 
\verseNumber{34}And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receiue, what thanke shall yee haue? for euen the sinners lend to sinners, to receiue the like. 
\verseNumber{35}Wherefore loue ye your enemies, and doe good, and lend, looking for nothing againe, and your rewarde shalbe great, and ye shalbe the children of the most High: for he is kinde vnto the vnkinde, and to the euill. 
\verseNumber{36}Be ye therefore mercifull, as your Father also is mercifull. 
\verseNumber{37}Iudge not, and ye shall not be iudged: condemne not, and ye shall not bee condemned: forgiue, and ye shalbe forgiuen. 
\verseNumber{38}Giue, and it shalbe giuen vnto you: a good measure, pressed downe, shaken together and running ouer shall men giue into your bosome: for with what measure ye mete, with the same shall men mete to you againe. 
\verseNumber{39}And he spake a parable vnto them, Can the blinde leade the blinde? shall they not both fall into the ditche? 
\verseNumber{40}The disciple is not aboue his master: but whosoeuer will be a perfect disciple, shall bee as his master. 
\verseNumber{41}And why seest thou a mote in thy brothers eye, and considerest not the beame that is in thine owne eye? 
\verseNumber{42}Either howe canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou seest not the beame that is in thine owne eye? Hypocrite, cast out the beame out of thine owne eye first, and then shalt thou see, perfectly to pull out the mote that is in thy brothers eye. 
\verseNumber{43}For it is not a good tree that bringeth foorth euill fruite: neither an euill tree, that bringeth foorth good fruite. 
\verseNumber{44}For euery tree is knowen by his owne fruite: for neither of thornes gather men figges, nor of bushes gather they grapes. 
\verseNumber{45}A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth foorth good, and an euill man out of the euill treasure of his heart bringeth foorth euill: for of the aboundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 
\verseNumber{46}But why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things that I speake? 
\verseNumber{47}Whosoeuer commeth to mee, and heareth my wordes, and doeth the same, I will shewe you to whome he is like: 
\verseNumber{48}He is like a man which built an house, and digged deepe, and layde the fundation on a rocke: and when the waters arose, the flood beat vpon that house, and coulde not shake it: for it was grounded vpon a rocke. 
\verseNumber{49}But hee that heareth and doeth not, is like a man that built an house vpon the earth without foundation, against which the flood did beate, and it fell by and by: and the fall of that house was great.

\chapterNumber{7}When hee had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entred into Capernaum. 
\verseNumber{2}And a certaine Ceturions seruant was sicke and readie to die, which was deare vnto him. 
\verseNumber{3}And when he heard of Iesus, hee sent vnto him the Elders of the Iewes, beseeching him that he would come, and heale his seruant. 
\verseNumber{4}So they came to Iesus, and besought him instantly, saying that hee was worthy that hee should doe this for him: 
\verseNumber{5}For he loueth, said they, our nation, and he hath built vs a Synagogue. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Iesus went with them: but when he was now not farre from the house, the Centurion sent friendes to him, saying vnto him, Lord, trouble not thy selfe: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter vnder my roofe: 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore I thought not my selfe worthy to come vnto thee: but say the word, and my seruant shalbe whole: 
\verseNumber{8}For I likewise am a man set vnder authoritie, and haue vnder mee souldiers, and I say vnto one, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and hee commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doeth it. 
\verseNumber{9}When Iesus heard these things, he marueiled at him, and turned him, and said to the people, that followed him, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel. 
\verseNumber{10}And when they that were sent, turned backe to the house, they founde the seruant that was sicke, whole. 
\verseNumber{11}And it came to passe the day after, that he went into a citie called Nain, and many of his disciples went with him, and a great multitude. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe when hee came neere to the gate of the citie, behold, there was a dead man caried out, who was the onely begotten sonne of his mother, which was a widowe, and much people of the citie was with her. 
\verseNumber{13}And when the Lord sawe her, he had compassion on her, and said vnto her, Weepe not. 
\verseNumber{14}And he went and touched the coffin (and they that bare him, stoode still) and he said, Yong man, I say vnto thee, Arise. 
\verseNumber{15}And he that was dead, sate vp, and began to speake, and he deliuered him to his mother. 
\verseNumber{16}Then there came a feare on them all, and they glorified God, saying, A great Prophet is risen among vs, and God hath visited his people. 
\verseNumber{17}And this rumour of him went foorth throughout all Iudea, and throughout all the region round about. 
\verseNumber{18}And the disciples of Iohn shewed him of all these things. 
\verseNumber{19}So Iohn called vnto him two certaine men of his disciples, and sent them to Iesus, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another? 
\verseNumber{20}And when the men were come vnto him, they said, Iohn Baptist hath sent vs vnto thee, saying, Art thou hee that should come, or shall we waite for another? 
\verseNumber{21}And at that time, he cured many of their sickenesses, and plagues, and of euill spirites, and vnto many blinde men he gaue sight freely. 
\verseNumber{22}And Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, Goe your wayes and shewe Iohn, what things ye haue seene and heard: that the blinde see, the halt goe, the lepers are cleansed, the deafe heare, the dead are raised, and the poore receiue the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{23}And blessed is hee, that shall not be offended in me. 
\verseNumber{24}And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde? 
\verseNumber{25}But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes. 
\verseNumber{26}But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{27}This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 
\verseNumber{28}For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he. 
\verseNumber{29}Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn. 
\verseNumber{30}But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him. 
\verseNumber{31}And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto? 
\verseNumber{32}They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept. 
\verseNumber{33}For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil. 
\verseNumber{34}The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners: 
\verseNumber{35}But wisdome is iustified of all her children. 
\verseNumber{36}And one of the Pharises desired him that hee would eate with him: and hee went into the Pharises house, and sate downe at table. 
\verseNumber{37}And beholde, a woman in the citie, which was a sinner, when she knewe that Iesus sate at table in the Pharises house, shee brought a boxe of oyntment. 
\verseNumber{38}And shee stoode at his feete behinde him weeping, and began to wash his feete with teares, and did wipe them with the heares of her head, and kissed his feete, and anoynted them with the oyntment. 
\verseNumber{39}Nowe when the Pharise which bade him, saw it, he spake within himselfe, saying, If this man were a Prophet, hee woulde surely haue knowen who, and what maner of woman this is which toucheth him: for she is a sinner. 
\verseNumber{40}And Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Simon, I haue somewhat to say vnto thee. And he said, Master, say on. 
\verseNumber{41}There was a certaine lender which had two detters: the one ought fiue hundreth pence, and the other fiftie: 
\verseNumber{42}When they had nothing to pay, he forgaue them both: Which of them therefore, tell mee, will loue him most? 
\verseNumber{43}Simon answered, and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgaue most. And he said vnto him, Thou hast truely iudged. 
\verseNumber{44}Then he turned to the woman, and said vnto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entred into thine house, and thou gauest mee no water to my feete: but she hath washed my feete with teares, and wiped them with the heares of her head. 
\verseNumber{45}Thou gauest me no kisse: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kisse my feete. 
\verseNumber{46}Mine head with oyle thou didest not anoint: but she hath anoynted my feete with oyntment. 
\verseNumber{47}Wherefore I say vnto thee, many sinnes are forgiuen her: for she loued much. To whom a litle is forgiuen, he doeth loue a litle. 
\verseNumber{48}And he saide vnto her, Thy sinnes are forgiuen thee. 
\verseNumber{49}And they that sate at table with him, began to say within themselues, Who is this that euen forgiueth sinnes? 
\verseNumber{50}And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saued thee: goe in peace.

\chapterNumber{8}And it came to passe afterwarde, that hee himselfe went through euery citie and towne, preaching and publishing the kingdome of God, and the twelue were with him, 
\verseNumber{2}And certaine women, which were healed of euill spirites, and infirmities, as Mary which was called Magdalene, out of whom went seuen deuils, 
\verseNumber{3}And Ioanna the wife of Chuza Herods steward, and Susanna, and many other which ministred vnto him of their substance. 
\verseNumber{4}Nowe when much people were gathered together, and were come vnto him out of all cities, he spake by a parable. 
\verseNumber{5}A sower went out to sowe his seede, and as he sowed, some fell by the wayes side, and it was troden vnder feete, and the foules of heauen deuoured it vp. 
\verseNumber{6}And some fell on the stones, and when it was sprong vp, it withered away, because it lacked moystnesse. 
\verseNumber{7}And some fell among thornes, and the thornes sprang vp with it, and choked it. 
\verseNumber{8}And some fell on good ground, and sprang vp, and bare fruite, an hundreth folde. And as hee sayd these things, he cryed, He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 
\verseNumber{9}Then his disciples asked him, demaunding what parable that was. 
\verseNumber{10}And he sayd, Vnto you it is giuen to know the secrets of ye kingdome of God, but to other in parables, that when they see, they shoulde not see, and when they heare, they should not vnderstand. 
\verseNumber{11}The parable is this, The seede is the worde of God. 
\verseNumber{12}And they that are beside the way, are they that heare: afterward commeth the deuill, and taketh away the worde out of their hearts, least they should beleeue, and be saued. 
\verseNumber{13}But they that are on the stones, are they which when they haue heard, receiue ye word with ioy: but they haue no rootes: which for a while beleeue, but in the time of tentation goe away. 
\verseNumber{14}And that which fell among thornes, are they which haue heard, and after their departure are choked with cares and with riches, and voluptuous liuing, and bring forth no fruite. 
\verseNumber{15}But that which fell in good ground, are they which with an honest and good heart heare the worde, and keepe it, and bring forth fruite with patience. 
\verseNumber{16}No man when he hath lighted a candle, couereth it vnder a vessell, neither putteth it vnder the bed, but setteth it on a candlesticke, that they that enter in, may see the light. 
\verseNumber{17}For nothing is secret, that shall not be euident: neither any thing hid, that shall not be knowen, and come to light. 
\verseNumber{18}Take heede therefore how ye heare: for whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen: and whosoeuer hath not, from him shalbe taken euen that which it seemeth that he hath. 
\verseNumber{19}Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come neere to him for the preasse. 
\verseNumber{20}And it was tolde him by certaine which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, and would see thee. 
\verseNumber{21}But he answered, and sayd vnto them, My mother and my brethren are these which heare the worde of God, and doe it. 
\verseNumber{22}And it came to passe on a certaine day, that he went into a ship with his disciples, and he sayd vnto them, Let vs goe ouer vnto the other side of the lake. And they lanched forth. 
\verseNumber{23}And as they sayled, he fell a sleepe, and there came downe a storme of winde on the lake, and they were filled with water, and were in ieopardie. 
\verseNumber{24}Then they went to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, Master, we perish. And he arose, and rebuked the winde, and the waues of water: and they ceased, and it was calme. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he sayde vnto them, Where is your fayth? and they feared, and wondered among them selues, saying, Who is this that commandeth both the windes and water, and they obey him! 
\verseNumber{26}So they sailed vnto the region of the Gadarenes, which is ouer against Galile. 
\verseNumber{27}And as he went out to land, there met him a certaine man out of the citie, which had deuils long time, and he ware no garment, neither abode in house, but in the graues. 
\verseNumber{28}And when he sawe Iesus, he cryed out and fell downe before him, and with a loude voyce sayd, What haue I to doe with thee, Iesus the Sonne of God the most High? I beseech thee torment me not. 
\verseNumber{29}For he commanded ye foule spirit to come out of the man: (for oft times he had caught him: therefore he was bound with chaines, and kept in fetters: but he brake the bands, and was caried of the deuill into wildernesses.) 
\verseNumber{30}Then Iesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? and he sayd, Legion, because many deuils were entred into him. 
\verseNumber{31}And they besought him, that he would not commaund them to goe out into the deepe. 
\verseNumber{32}And there was there by, an hearde of many swine, feeding on an hill: and the deuils besought him, that he would suffer them to enter into them. So he suffered them. 
\verseNumber{33}Then went the deuils out of the man, and entred into the swine: and the hearde was caried with violence from a steepe downe place into the lake, and was choked. 
\verseNumber{34}When the heardmen sawe what was done, they fled: and when they were departed, they tolde it in the citie and in the countrey. 
\verseNumber{35}Then they came out to see what was done, and came to Iesus, and found the man, out of whom the deuils were departed, sitting at the feete of Iesus, clothed, and in his right minde: and they were afrayd. 
\verseNumber{36}They also which saw it, tolde them by what meanes he that was possessed with the deuill, was healed. 
\verseNumber{37}Then the whole multitude of the countrey about the Gadarenes, besought him that he would depart from them: for they were taken with a great feare: and he went into the ship, and returned. 
\verseNumber{38}Then the man, out of whome the deuils were departed, besought him that hee might be with him: but Iesus sent him away, saying, 
\verseNumber{39}Returne into thine owne house, and shewe what great things God hath done to thee. So hee went his way, and preached throughout all the citie, what great things Iesus had done vnto him. 
\verseNumber{40}And it came to passe, when Iesus was come againe, that the people receiued him: for they all waited for him. 
\verseNumber{41}And beholde, there came a man named Iairus, and he was the ruler of the Synagogue, who fell downe at Iesus feete, and besought him that he would come into his house. 
\verseNumber{42}For he had but a daughter onely, about twelue yeeres of age, and she lay a dying (and as he went, the people thronged him. 
\verseNumber{43}And a woman hauing an yssue of blood, twelue yeeres long, which had spent all her substance vpon physicians, and could not be healed of any: 
\verseNumber{44}When she came behind him, she touched the hemme of his garment, and immediatly her yssue of blood stanched. 
\verseNumber{45}Then Iesus sayd, Who is it that hath touched me? When euery man denied, Peter sayd and they that were with him, Master, the multitude thrust thee, and tread on thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me? 
\verseNumber{46}And Iesus sayde, Some one hath touched me: for I perceiue that vertue is gone out of me. 
\verseNumber{47}When the woman sawe that she was not hid, she came trembling, and fell downe before him, and tolde him before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediatly. 
\verseNumber{48}And he said vnto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath saued thee: go in peace.) 
\verseNumber{49}While he yet spake, there came one from the ruler of the Synagogues house, which sayde to him, Thy daughter is dead: disease not the Master. 
\verseNumber{50}When Iesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Feare not: beleeue onely, and she shall be saued. 
\verseNumber{51}And when he went into the house, he suffered no man to goe in with him, saue Peter, and Iames, and Iohn, and the father and mother of the maide. 
\verseNumber{52}And all wept, and sorowed for her: but he sayd, Weepe not: for she is not dead, but sleepeth. 
\verseNumber{53}And they laught him to scorne, knowing that she was dead. 
\verseNumber{54}So he thrust them all out, and tooke her by the hand, and cryed, saying, Maide, arise. 
\verseNumber{55}And her spirite came againe, and she rose straightway: and he comanded to giue her meate. 
\verseNumber{56}Then her parents were astonied: but hee commanded them that they should tell no man what was done.

\chapterNumber{9}Then called hee his twelue disciples together, and gaue them power and authoritie ouer all deuils, and to heale diseases. 
\verseNumber{2}And hee sent them foorth to preach the kingdome of God, and to cure the sicke. 
\verseNumber{3}And he sayd to them, Take nothing to your iourney, neither staues, nor scrip, neither bread, nor siluer, neither haue two coates apiece. 
\verseNumber{4}And whatsoeuer house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 
\verseNumber{5}And howe many so euer will not receiue you, when ye goe out of that citie, shake off the very dust from your feete for a testimonie against them. 
\verseNumber{6}And they went out, and went through euery towne preaching the Gospel, and healing euery where. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he douted, because that it was sayd of some, that Iohn was risen againe from the dead: 
\verseNumber{8}And of some, that Elias had appeared: and of some, that one of the olde Prophets was risen againe. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Herod sayd, Iohn haue I beheaded: who then is this of whome I heare such things? and he desired to see him. 
\verseNumber{10}And when the Apostles returned, they tolde him what great things they had done. Then he tooke them to him, and went aside into a solitarie place, neere to the citie called Bethsaida. 
\verseNumber{11}But when the people knewe it, they followed him: and he receiued them, and spake vnto them of the kingdome of God, and healed them that had neede to be healed. 
\verseNumber{12}And when the day began to weare away, the twelue came, and sayd vnto him, Sende the people away, that they may goe into the townes and villages round about, and lodge, and get meate: for we are here in a desart place. 
\verseNumber{13}But he sayd vnto them, Giue ye them to eate. And they sayd, We haue no more but fiue loaues and two fishes, except we should go and buy meate for all this people. 
\verseNumber{14}For they were about fiue thousand men. Then he sayde to his disciples, Cause them to sit downe by fifties in a company. 
\verseNumber{15}And they did so, and caused all to sit downe. 
\verseNumber{16}Then he tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen, and blessed them, and brake, and gaue to the disciples, to set before the people. 
\verseNumber{17}So they did all eate, and were satisfied: and there was taken vp of that remained to them, twelue baskets full of broken meate. 
\verseNumber{18}And it came to passe, as hee was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? 
\verseNumber{19}They answered, and sayd, Iohn Baptist: and others say, Elias: and some say, that one of the olde Prophets is risen againe. 
\verseNumber{20}And he sayd vnto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and sayd, That Christ of God. 
\verseNumber{21}And he warned and commanded them, that they should tell that to no man, 
\verseNumber{22}Saying, The Sonne of man must suffer many things and be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priests and Scribes, and be slaine, and the third day rise againe. 
\verseNumber{23}And he sayd to them all, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse dayly, and follow me. 
\verseNumber{24}For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall saue it. 
\verseNumber{25}For what auantageth it a man, if he win the whole worlde, and destroy himselfe, or lose himselfe? 
\verseNumber{26}For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of me, and of my wordes, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed, when hee shall come in his glorie, and in the glorie of the Father, and of the holy Angels. 
\verseNumber{27}And I tell you of a suretie, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they haue seene the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{28}And it came to passe about an eyght dayes after those wordes, that he tooke Peter and Iohn, and Iames, and went vp into a mountaine to pray. 
\verseNumber{29}And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was changed, and his garment was white and glistered. 
\verseNumber{30}And beholde, two men talked with him, which were Moses and Elias: 
\verseNumber{31}Which appeared in glory, and tolde of his departing, which he shoulde accomplish at Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{32}But Peter and they that were with him, were heauie with sleepe, and when they awoke, they saw his glorie, and the two men standing with him. 
\verseNumber{33}And it came to passe, as they departed from him, Peter said vnto Iesus, Master, it is good for vs to be here: let vs therefore make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias, and wist not what he said. 
\verseNumber{34}Whiles he thus spake, there came a cloude and ouershadowed them, and they feared when they were entring into the cloude. 
\verseNumber{35}And there came a voyce out of the cloud, saying, This is that my beloued Sonne, heare him. 
\verseNumber{36}And when the voyce was past, Iesus was found alone: and they kept it close, and tolde no man in those dayes any of those things which they had seene. 
\verseNumber{37}And it came to passe on the next day, as they came downe from the mountaine, much people met him. 
\verseNumber{38}And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue. 
\verseNumber{39}And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him. 
\verseNumber{40}Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not. 
\verseNumber{41}Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither. 
\verseNumber{42}And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father. 
\verseNumber{43}And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples, 
\verseNumber{44}Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men. 
\verseNumber{45}But they vnderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceiue it: and they feared to aske him of that worde. 
\verseNumber{46}Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest. 
\verseNumber{47}When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him, 
\verseNumber{48}And said vnto them, Whosoeuer receiueth this litle childe in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer shall receiue me, receiueth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great. 
\verseNumber{49}And Iohn answered and saide, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with vs. 
\verseNumber{50}Then Iesus saide vnto him, Forbid ye him not: for he that is not against vs, is with vs. 
\verseNumber{51}And it came to passe, when the dayes were accomplished, that he should be receiued vp, he setled himselfe fully to goe to Hierusalem, 
\verseNumber{52}And sent messengers before him: and they went and entred into a towne of the Samaritans, to prepare him lodging. 
\verseNumber{53}But they woulde not receiue him, because his behauiour was, as though he would go to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{54}And when his disciples, Iames and Iohn sawe it, they saide, Lord, wilt thou that we commaund, that fire come downe from heauen, and consume them, euen as Elias did? 
\verseNumber{55}But Iesus turned about, and rebuked them, and said, Ye knowe not of what spirit ye are. 
\verseNumber{56}For the Sonne of man is not come to destroy mens liues, but to saue them. Then they went to another towne. 
\verseNumber{57}And it came to passe that as they went in the way, a certaine man said vnto him, I will follow thee, Lord, whithersoeuer thou goest. 
\verseNumber{58}And Iesus saide vnto him, The foxes haue holes, and the birdes of the heauen nestes, but the Sonne of man hath not whereon to lay his head. 
\verseNumber{59}But he said vnto another, Followe me. And the same said, Lord, suffer me first to goe and burie my father. 
\verseNumber{60}And Iesus said vnto him, Let the dead burie their dead: but go thou, and preache the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{61}Then another saide, I will follow thee, Lord: but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at mine house. 
\verseNumber{62}And Iesus saide vnto him, No man that putteth his hand to the plough, and looketh backe, is apt to the kingdome of God.

\chapterNumber{10}After these thinges, the Lord appointed other seuentie also, and sent them, two and two before him into euery citie and place, whither he himselfe should come.

\verseNumber{20}Neuerthelesse, in this reioyce not, that the spirits are subdued vnto you: but rather reioyce, because your names are written in heauen.

\verseNumber{25}Then beholde, a certaine Lawyer stoode vp, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I doe, to inherite eternall life? 
\verseNumber{26}And he saide vnto him, What is written in the Lawe? howe readest thou? 
\verseNumber{27}And he answered, and saide, Thou shalt loue thy Lord God with all thine heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy strength, and with all thy thought, and thy neighbour as thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{28}Then he said vnto him, Thou hast answered right: this doe, and thou shalt liue. 
\verseNumber{29}But he willing to iustifie himselfe, said vnto Iesus, Who is then my neighbour? 
\verseNumber{30}And Iesus answered, and saide, A certaine man went downe from Hierusalem to Iericho, and fell among theeues, and they robbed him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leauing him halfe dead. 
\verseNumber{31}Nowe so it fell out, that there came downe a certaine Priest that same way, and when he sawe him, he passed by on the other side.

\chapterNumber{11}And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.

\verseNumber{7}Then said he to the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, this three yeeres haue I come and sought fruite of this figge tree, and finde none: cut it downe: why keepeth it also the ground barren? 
\verseNumber{8}And he answered, and said vnto him, Lord, let it alone this yeere also, till I digge round about it, and doung it. 
\verseNumber{9}And if it beare fruite, well: if not, then after thou shalt cut it downe. 
\verseNumber{10}And he taught in one of ye Synagogues on the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{11}And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmitie eighteene yeeres, and was bowed together, and coulde not lift vp her selfe in any wise. 
\verseNumber{12}When Iesus sawe her, he called her to him, and said to her, Woman, thou art loosed from thy disease. 
\verseNumber{13}And he laide his handes on her, and immediately she was made straight againe, and glorified God. 
\verseNumber{14}And the ruler of the Synagogue answered with indignation, because that Iesus healed on the Sabbath day, and said vnto the people, There are sixe dayes in which men ought to worke: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{15}Then answered him the Lord, and said, Hypocrite, doth not eche one of you on the Sabbath day loose his oxe or his asse from the stall, and leade him away to the water? 
\verseNumber{16}And ought not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, loe, eighteene yeeres, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day? 
\verseNumber{17}And when he said these things, all his aduersaries were ashamed: but all the people reioyced at all the excellent things, that were done by him. 
\verseNumber{18}Then said he, What is the kingdome of God like? or whereto shall I compare it? 
\verseNumber{19}It is like a graine of mustard seede, which a man tooke and sowed in his garden, and it grewe, and waxed a great tree, and the foules of the heauen made nestes in the branches thereof. 
\verseNumber{20}And againe he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdome of God? 
\verseNumber{21}It is like leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three peckes of floure, till all was leauened. 
\verseNumber{22}And he went through all cities and townes, teaching, and iourneying towards Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{23}Then saide one vnto him, Lord, are there fewe that shalbe saued? And he said vnto them, 
\verseNumber{24}Striue to enter in at the straite gate: for many, I say vnto you, will seeke to enter in, and shall not be able. 
\verseNumber{25}When the good man of the house is risen vp, and hath shut to the doore, and ye begin to stand without, and to knocke at the doore, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs, and he shall answere and say vnto you, I know you not whence ye are, 
\verseNumber{26}Then shall ye begin to say, We haue eaten and drunke in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streetes. 
\verseNumber{27}But he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{28}There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth when ye shall see Abraham and Isaac, and Iacob, and all the Prophets in the kingdome of God, and your selues thrust out at doores. 
\verseNumber{29}Then shall come many from the East, and from the West, and from the North, and from the South, and shall sit at Table in the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{30}And beholde, there are last, which shalbe first, and there are first, which shalbe last. 
\verseNumber{31}The same day there came certaine Pharises, and said vnto him, Depart, and goe hence: for Herod will kill thee. 
\verseNumber{32}Then said he vnto them, Goe ye and tell that foxe, Beholde, I cast out deuils, and will heale still to day, and to morowe, and the third day I shalbe perfected. 
\verseNumber{33}Neuerthelesse I must walke to day, and to morowe, and the day following: for it cannot be that a Prophet should perish out of Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{34}O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, which killest the Prophets, and stonest them that are sent to thee, howe often would I haue gathered thy children together, as the henne gathereth her brood vnder her wings, and ye would not! 
\verseNumber{35}Beholde, your house is left vnto you desolate: and verely I tell you, ye shall not see me vntill the time come that ye shall say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{14}And it came to passe that when he was entred into the house of one of the chiefe Pharises on the Sabbath day, to eate bread, they watched him. 
\verseNumber{2}And beholde, there was a certaine man before him, which had the dropsie. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Iesus answering, spake vnto the Lawyers and Pharises, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath day? 
\verseNumber{4}And they held their peace. Then he tooke him, and healed him, and let him goe, 
\verseNumber{5}And answered them, saying, Which of you shall haue an asse, or an oxe fallen into a pit, and wil not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day? 
\verseNumber{6}And they could not answere him againe to those things. 
\verseNumber{7}He spake also a parable to the ghestes, when he marked howe they chose out the chiefe roomes, and said vnto them, 
\verseNumber{8}When thou shalt be bidden of any man to a wedding, set not thy selfe downe in the chiefest place, lest a more honourable man then thou, be bidden of him, 
\verseNumber{9}And he that bade both him and thee, come, and say to thee, Giue this man roome, and thou then begin with shame to take the lowest roome. 
\verseNumber{10}But when thou art bidden, goe and sit downe in the lowest roome, that when he that bade thee, cometh, he may say vnto thee, Friende, sit vp hier: then shalt thou haue worship in the presence of them that sit at table with thee. 
\verseNumber{11}For whosoeuer exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shall be exalted. 
\verseNumber{12}Then said he also to him that had bidden him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friendes, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsemen, nor ye riche neighbours, lest they also bid thee againe, and a recompence be made thee. 
\verseNumber{13}But when thou makest a feast, call ye poore, the maimed, the lame, and the blind, 
\verseNumber{14}And thou shalt be blessed, because they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the iust. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe when one of them that sate at table, heard these things, he said vnto him, Blessed is he that eateth bread in the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{16}Then saide he to him, A certaine man made a great supper, and bade many, 
\verseNumber{17}And sent his seruant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are nowe readie. 
\verseNumber{18}But they all with one mind beganne to make excuse: The first saide vnto him, I haue bought a farme, and I must needes goe out and see it: I pray thee, haue me excused. 
\verseNumber{19}And another said, I haue bought fiue yoke of oxen, and I goe to proue them: I pray thee, haue me excused. 
\verseNumber{20}And another said, I haue maried a wife, and therefore I can not come. 
\verseNumber{21}So that seruaunt returned, and shewed his master these thinges. Then was the good man of the house angrie, and said to his seruant, Goe out quickely into the streetes and lanes of the citie, and bring in hither the poore, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blinde. 
\verseNumber{22}And the seruaunt saide, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roome. 
\verseNumber{23}Then the master sayd to the seruaunt, Goe out into the hie wayes, and hedges, and compell them to come in, that mine house may bee filled. 
\verseNumber{24}For I say vnto you, that none of those men which were bidden, shall taste of my supper. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and sayd vnto them, 
\verseNumber{26}If any man come to mee, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters: yea, and his owne life also, he can not be my disciple. 
\verseNumber{27}And whosoeuer beareth not his crosse, and commeth after mee, can not bee my disciple. 
\verseNumber{28}For which of you minding to builde a towre, sitteth not downe before, and counteth the cost, whether hee haue sufficient to performe it, 
\verseNumber{29}Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him, 
\verseNumber{30}Saying, This man began to builde, and was not able to make an end? 
\verseNumber{31}Or what King going to make warre against another King, sitteth not downe first, and taketh counsell, whether he be able with ten thousande, to meete him that commeth against him with twentie thousand? 
\verseNumber{32}Or els while hee is yet a great way off, hee sendeth an ambassage, and desireth peace. 
\verseNumber{33}So likewise, whosoeuer hee be of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. 
\verseNumber{34}Salt is good: but if salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it be salted? 
\verseNumber{35}It is neither meete for the land, nor yet for the dunghill, but men cast it out. He that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{15}Then resorted vnto him all the Publicanes and sinners, to heare him. 
\verseNumber{2}Therefore the Pharises and Scribes murmured, saying, Hee receiueth sinners, and eateth with them. 
\verseNumber{3}Then spake hee this parable to them, saying, 
\verseNumber{4}What man of you hauing an hundreth sheepe, if hee lose one of them, doeth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and goe after that which is lost, vntill he finde it? 
\verseNumber{5}And when he hath found it, he laieth it on his shoulders with ioye. 
\verseNumber{6}And when he commeth home, he calleth together his friendes and neighbours, saying vnto them, Reioyce with mee: for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost. 
\verseNumber{7}I say vnto you, that likewise ioy shall be in heauen for one sinner that conuerteth, more then for ninetie and nine iust men, which neede none amendment of life. 
\verseNumber{8}Either what woman hauing ten groates, if she lose one groate, doth not light a candle, and sweepe the house, and seeke diligently till shee finde it? 
\verseNumber{9}And when shee hath found it, shee calleth her friendes, and neighbours, saying, Reioyce with me: for I haue found the groate which I had lost. 
\verseNumber{10}Likewise I say vnto you, there is ioy in the presence of the Angels of God, for one sinner that conuerteth. 
\verseNumber{11}He sayde moreouer, A certaine man had two sonnes. 
\verseNumber{12}And the yonger of them sayde to his father, Father, giue mee the portion of the goods that falleth to mee. So he deuided vnto them his substance. 
\verseNumber{13}So not many daies after, when the yonger sonne had gathered all together, hee tooke his iourney into a farre countrey, and there hee wasted his goods with riotous liuing. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe when hee had spent all, there arose a great dearth throughout that land, and he began to be in necessitie. 
\verseNumber{15}Then hee went and claue to a citizen of that conntrey, and hee sent him to his farme, to feede swine. 
\verseNumber{16}And hee would faine haue filled his bellie with the huskes, that the swine ate: but no man gaue them him. 
\verseNumber{17}Then he came to him selfe, and said, Howe many hired seruaunts at my fathers haue bread ynough, and I die for hunger? 
\verseNumber{18}I wil rise and goe to my father, and say vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heaue, and before thee, 
\verseNumber{19}And am no more worthy to be called thy sonne: make me as one of thy hired seruants. 
\verseNumber{20}So hee arose and came to his father, and when hee was yet a great way off, his father sawe him, and had compassion, and ranne and fell on his necke, and kissed him. 
\verseNumber{21}And the sonne sayde vnto him, Father, I haue sinned against heauen, and before thee, and am no more worthie to be called thy sonne. 
\verseNumber{22}Then the father said to his seruaunts, Bring foorth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feete, 
\verseNumber{23}And bring the fat calfe, and kill him, and let vs eate, and be merie: 
\verseNumber{24}For this my sonne was dead, and is aliue againe: and he was lost, but he is found. And they began to be merie. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe the elder brother was in the fielde, and when he came and drewe neere to the house, he heard melodie, and dauncing, 
\verseNumber{26}And called one of his seruaunts, and asked what those things meant. 
\verseNumber{27}And hee sayde vnto him, Thy brother is come, and thy father hath killed the fatte calfe, because he hath receiued him safe and sound. 
\verseNumber{28}Then he was angry, and would not goe in: therefore came his father out and entreated him. 
\verseNumber{29}But he answered and said to his father, Loe, these many yeeres haue I done thee seruice, neither brake I at any time thy commadement, and yet thou neuer gauest mee a kidde that I might make merie with my friends. 
\verseNumber{30}But when this thy sonne was come, which hath deuoured thy good with harlots, thou hast for his sake killed the fat calfe. 
\verseNumber{31}And he said vnto him, Sonne, thou art euer with me, and al that I haue, is thine. It was meete that we shoulde make merie, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is aliue againe: and hee was lost, but he is found. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}And he sayde also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine riche man, which had a stewarde, and he was accused vnto him, that he wasted his goods. 
\verseNumber{2}And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed. 
\verseNumber{4}I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses. 
\verseNumber{5}Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, and said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master? 
\verseNumber{6}And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle. And he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie. 
\verseNumber{7}Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Lord commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wisely. Wherefore the children of this worlde are in their generation wiser then the children of light. 
\verseNumber{9}And I say vnto you, Make you friends with the riches of iniquitie, that when ye shall want, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. 
\verseNumber{10}He that is faithfull in the least, hee is also faithful in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much. 
\verseNumber{11}If then ye haue not ben faithful in the wicked riches, who wil trust you in the true treasure? 
\verseNumber{12}And if ye haue not bene faithfull in another mans goods, who shall giue you that which is yours? 
\verseNumber{13}No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other. Yee can not serue God and riches. 
\verseNumber{14}All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed at him. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God. 
\verseNumber{16}The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.

\verseNumber{18}Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie. 
\verseNumber{19}There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day. 
\verseNumber{20}Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores, 
\verseNumber{21}And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores. 
\verseNumber{22}And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried. 
\verseNumber{23}And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome. 
\verseNumber{24}Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. 
\verseNumber{25}But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented. 
\verseNumber{26}Besides all this, betweene you and vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither can they come from thence to vs. 
\verseNumber{27}Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house, 
\verseNumber{28}(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment. 
\verseNumber{29}Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them. 
\verseNumber{30}And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.

\verseNumber{5}And the Apostles saide vnto the Lord, Increase our faith. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord said, If ye had faith, as much as is a graine of mustard seede, and should say vnto this mulberie tree, Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes, and plant thy selfe in the sea, it should euen obey you. 
\verseNumber{7}Who is it also of you, that hauing a seruant plowing or feeding cattell, woulde say vnto him by and by, when hee were come from the fielde, Goe, and sit downe at table? 
\verseNumber{8}And woulde not rather say to him, Dresse wherewith I may suppe, and girde thy selfe, and serue mee, till I haue eaten and drunken, and afterward eate thou, and drinke thou? 
\verseNumber{9}Doeth he thanke that seruant, because hee did that which was commanded vnto him? I trowe not. 
\verseNumber{10}So likewise yee, when yee haue done all those things, which are commanded you, say, We are vnprofitable seruants: wee haue done that which was our duetie to doe. 
\verseNumber{11}And so it was when he went to Hierusalem, that he passed through the middes of Samaria, and Galile. 
\verseNumber{12}And as hee entred into a certaine towne, there met him tenne men that were lepers, which stoode a farre off. 
\verseNumber{13}And they lift vp their voyces and saide, Iesus, Master, haue mercie on vs. 
\verseNumber{14}And when he saw them, he said vnto them, Goe, shewe your selues vnto the Priestes. And it came to passe, that as they went, they were clensed. 
\verseNumber{15}Then one of them, when hee sawe that hee, was healed, turned backe, and with a loude voyce praised God, 
\verseNumber{16}And fell downe on his face at his feete, and gaue him thankes: and he was a Samaritan. 
\verseNumber{17}And Iesus answered, and said, Are there not tenne clensed? but where are the nine? 
\verseNumber{18}There is none founde that returned to giue God praise, saue this stranger. 
\verseNumber{19}And he saide vnto him, Arise, goe thy way, thy faith hath saued thee. 
\verseNumber{20}And when hee was demaunded of the Pharises, when the kingdome of God shoulde come, he answered them, and said, The kingdome of God commeth not with obseruation. 
\verseNumber{21}Neither shall men say, Loe here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdome of God is within you. 
\verseNumber{22}And he saide vnto the disciples, The dayes will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the dayes of the Sonne of man, and ye shall not see it. 
\verseNumber{23}Then they shall say to you, Behold here, or beholde there: but goe not thither, neither follow them. 
\verseNumber{24}For as the lightening that lighteneth out of the one part vnder heauen, shineth vnto the other part vnder heauen, so shall the Sonne of man be in his day. 
\verseNumber{25}But first must he suffer many things, and be reprooued of this generation. 
\verseNumber{26}And as it was in the dayes of Noe, so shall it be in the dayes of the Sonne of man. 
\verseNumber{27}They ate, they dranke, they married wiues, and gaue in marriage vnto the day that Noe went into the Arke: and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 
\verseNumber{28}Likewise also, as it was in the dayes of Lot: they ate, they dranke, they bought, they solde, they planted, they built. 
\verseNumber{29}But in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heauen, and destroyed them all. 
\verseNumber{30}After these ensamples shall it be in the day when the Sonne of man is reueiled. 
\verseNumber{31}At that day hee that is vpon the house, and his stuffe in ye house, let him not come downe to take it out: and he that is in the fielde likewise, let him not turne backe to that he left behinde.

\chapterNumber{18}And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint, 
\verseNumber{2}Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man. 
\verseNumber{3}And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie. 
\verseNumber{4}And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man, 
\verseNumber{5}Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie. 
\verseNumber{6}And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith. 
\verseNumber{7}Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them? 
\verseNumber{8}I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth? 
\verseNumber{9}He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other. 
\verseNumber{10}Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican. 
\verseNumber{11}The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican. 
\verseNumber{12}I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse. 
\verseNumber{13}But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner. 
\verseNumber{14}I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted. 
\verseNumber{15}They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them. 
\verseNumber{16}But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{17}Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein. 
\verseNumber{18}Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life? 
\verseNumber{19}And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God. 
\verseNumber{20}Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother. 
\verseNumber{21}And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth. 
\verseNumber{22}Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee. 
\verseNumber{23}But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche. 
\verseNumber{24}And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God! 
\verseNumber{25}Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{26}Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued? 
\verseNumber{27}And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee. 
\verseNumber{29}And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake, 
\verseNumber{30}Which shall not receiue much more in this world, and in the world to come life euerlasting. 
\verseNumber{31}Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{32}For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on. 
\verseNumber{33}And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe. 
\verseNumber{34}But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken. 
\verseNumber{35}And it came to passe, that as he was come neere vnto Iericho, a certaine blinde man sate by the way side, begging. 
\verseNumber{36}And when he heard the people passe by, he asked what it meant. 
\verseNumber{37}And they saide vnto him, that Iesus of Nazareth passed by. 
\verseNumber{38}Then hee cried, saying, Iesus the Sonne of Dauid, haue mercie on me. 
\verseNumber{39}And they which went before, rebuked him that he shoulde holde his peace, but he cried much more, O Sone of Dauid, haue mercie on me. 
\verseNumber{40}And Iesus stoode stil, and commanded him to be brought vnto him. And when he was come neere, he asked him, 
\verseNumber{41}Saying, What wilt thou that I doe vnto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receiue my sight. 
\verseNumber{42}And Iesus said vnto him, Receiue thy sight: thy faith hath saued thee. 
\verseNumber{43}Then immediatly he receiued his sight, and followed him, praysing God: and all the people, when they sawe this, gaue praise to God. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{19}Now when Iesus entred and passed through Iericho, 
\verseNumber{2}Beholde, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chiefe receiuer of the tribute, and he was riche. 
\verseNumber{3}And he sought to see Iesus, who hee should be, and coulde not for the preasse, because he was of a lowe stature. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherefore he ranne before, and climed vp into a wilde figge tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way. 
\verseNumber{5}And when Iesus came to the place, he looked vp, and saw him, and said vnto him, Zaccheus, come downe at once: for to day I must abide at thine house. 
\verseNumber{6}Then he came downe hastily, and receiued him ioyfully. 
\verseNumber{7}And when all they sawe it, they murmured, saying, that hee was gone in to lodge with a sinfull man. 
\verseNumber{8}And Zaccheus stood forth, and said vnto the Lord, Beholde, Lord, the halfe of my goods I giue to the poore: and if I haue taken from any man by forged cauillation, I restore him foure folde. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Iesus said to him, This day is saluation come vnto this house, forasmuch as hee is also become the sonne of Abraham. 
\verseNumber{10}For the Sonne of man is come to seeke, and to saue that which was lost. 
\verseNumber{11}And whiles they heard these thinges, hee continued and spake a parable, because hee was neere to Hierusalem, and because also they thought that the kingdom of God should shortly appeare. 
\verseNumber{12}He saide therefore, A certaine noble man went into a farre countrey, to receiue for himselfe a kingdome, and so to come againe. 
\verseNumber{13}And he called his ten seruants, and deliuered them ten pieces of money, and sayd vnto them, Occupie till I come. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not haue this man to reigne ouer vs. 
\verseNumber{15}And it came to passe, when hee was come againe, and had receiued his kingdome, that he commanded the seruants to be called to him, to whome he gaue his money, that he might knowe what euery man had gained. 
\verseNumber{16}Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased ten pieces. 
\verseNumber{17}And he sayd vnto him, Well, good seruant: because thou hast bene faithfull in a very litle thing, take thou authoritie ouer ten cities. 
\verseNumber{18}And the second came, saying, Lord, thy piece hath encreased fiue pieces. 
\verseNumber{19}And to the same he sayd, Be thou also ruler ouer fiue cities. 
\verseNumber{20}So the other came, and sayd, Lord, beholde thy piece, which I haue laide vp in a napkin: 
\verseNumber{21}For I feared thee, because thou art a straight man: thou takest vp, that thou layedst not downe, and reapest that thou diddest not sowe. 
\verseNumber{22}Then he sayde vnto him, Of thine owne mouth will I iudge thee, O euill seruant. Thou knewest that I am a straight man, taking vp that I layd not downe, and reaping that I did not sowe. 
\verseNumber{23}Wherefore then gauest not thou my money into the banke, that at my coming I might haue required it with vantage? 
\verseNumber{24}And he sayd to them that stoode by, Take from him that piece, and giue it him that hath ten pieces. 
\verseNumber{25}(And they sayd vnto him, Lord, hee hath ten pieces.) 
\verseNumber{26}For I say vnto you, that vnto all them that haue, it shalbe giuen: and from him that hath not, euen that he hath, shalbe taken from him. 
\verseNumber{27}Moreouer, those mine enemies, which would not that I should reigne ouer them, bring hither, and slay them before me. 
\verseNumber{28}And when he had thus spoken, he went forth before, ascending vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{29}And it came to passe, when hee was come neere to Bethphage, and Bethania, besides the mount which is called the mount of Oliues, he sent two of his disciples, 
\verseNumber{30}Saying, Goe ye to the towne which is before you, wherein, assoone as ye are come, ye shall finde a colte tied, whereon neuer man sate: loose him, and bring him hither. 
\verseNumber{31}And if any man aske you, why ye loose him, thus shall ye say vnto him, Because the Lord hath neede of him. 
\verseNumber{32}So they that were sent, went their way, and found it as he had sayd vnto them. 
\verseNumber{33}And as they were loosing the colte, the owners thereof sayd vnto them, Why loose ye the colte? 
\verseNumber{34}And they sayd, The Lord hath neede of him. 
\verseNumber{35}So they brought him to Iesus, and they cast their garments on the colte, and set Iesus thereon. 
\verseNumber{36}And as he went, they spred their clothes in the way. 
\verseNumber{37}And when he was nowe come neere to the going downe of the mount of Oliues, the whole multitude of the disciples began to reioyce, and to prayse God with a loude voyce, for all the great workes that they had seene, 
\verseNumber{38}Saying, Blessed be the King that commeth in the Name of the Lord: peace in heauen, and glory in the highest places. 
\verseNumber{39}Then some of the Pharises of the companie sayd vnto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 
\verseNumber{40}But he answered, and sayd vnto them, I tell you, that if these should holde their peace, the stones would crie. 
\verseNumber{41}And when he was come neere, he behelde the Citie, and wept for it, 
\verseNumber{42}Saying, O if thou haddest euen knowen at the least in this thy day those things, which belong vnto thy peace! but nowe are they hid from thine eyes. 
\verseNumber{43}For the dayes shall come vpon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compasse thee round, and keepe thee in on euery side, 
\verseNumber{44}And shall make thee euen with ye ground, and thy children which are in thee, and they shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone, because thou knewest not that season of thy visitation. 
\verseNumber{45}He went also into the Temple, and began to cast out them that solde therein, and them that bought, 
\verseNumber{46}Saying vnto them, It is written, Mine house is the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of theeues. 
\verseNumber{47}And he taught dayly in the Temple. And the hie Priests and the Scribes, and the chiefe of the people sought to destroy him. 
\verseNumber{48}But they could not finde what they might doe to him: for all the people hanged vpon him when they heard him. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}And it came to passe, that on one of those dayes, as he taught the people in the Temple, and preached the Gospel, the hie Priests and the Scribes came vpon him with the Elders, 
\verseNumber{2}And spake vnto him, saying, Tell vs by what authoritie thou doest these things, or who is hee that hath giuen thee this authoritie? 
\verseNumber{3}And he answered, and sayde vnto them, I also will aske you one thing: tell me therefore: 
\verseNumber{4}The baptisme of Iohn, was it from heauen, or of men? 
\verseNumber{5}And they reasoned within themselues, saying, If we shall say, From heauen, he will say, Why then beleeued ye him not? 
\verseNumber{6}But if we shall say, Of men, all the people will stone vs: for they be perswaded that Iohn was a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore they answered, that they could not tell whence it was. 
\verseNumber{8}Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Neither tell I you, by what authoritie I doe these things. 
\verseNumber{9}Then began he to speake to ye people this parable, A certaine man planted a vineyarde, and let it forth to husbandmen: and went into a strange countrey, for a great time. 
\verseNumber{10}And at the time conuenient he sent a seruant to the husbandmen, that they should giue him of the fruite of the vineyard: but the husbandmen did beate him, and sent him away emptie. 
\verseNumber{11}Againe he sent yet another seruant: and they did beate him, and foule entreated him, and sent him away emptie. 
\verseNumber{12}Moreouer he sent the third, and him they wounded, and cast out. 
\verseNumber{13}Then sayd the Lord of the vineyard, What shall I doe? I will send my beloued sonne: it may be that they will doe reuerence, when they see him. 
\verseNumber{14}But when the husbandmen sawe him, they reasoned with themselues, saying, This is the heire: come, let vs kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 
\verseNumber{15}So they cast him out of the vineyarde, and killed him. What shall the Lord of the vineyarde therefore doe vnto them? 
\verseNumber{16}He will come and destroy these husbandmen, and wil giue out his vineyard to others. But when they heard it, they sayd, God forbid. 
\verseNumber{17}And he beheld them, and said, What meaneth this then that is written, The stone that the builders refused, that is made the head of the corner? 
\verseNumber{18}Whosoeuer shall fall vpon that stone, shall be broken: and on whomsoeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to pouder. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the hie Priests, and the Scribes the same houre went about to lay hands on him: (but they feared the people) for they perceiued that he had spoken this parable against them. 
\verseNumber{20}And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should faine themselues iust men, to take him in his talke, and to deliuer him vnto the power and authoritie of the gouernour. 
\verseNumber{21}And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest, and teachest right, neither doest thou accept mans person, but teachest the way of God truely. 
\verseNumber{22}Is it lawfull for vs to giue Cesar tribute or no? 
\verseNumber{23}But he perceiued their craftines, and sayd vnto them, Why tempt ye me? 
\verseNumber{24}Shew me a penie. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and sayd, Cesars. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he sayd vnto them, Giue then vnto Cesar the things which are Cesars, and to God those which are Gods. 
\verseNumber{26}And they could not reproue his saying before the people: but they marueiled at his answere, and helde their peace. 
\verseNumber{27}Then came to him certaine of the Sadduces (which denie that there is any resurrection) and they asked him, 
\verseNumber{28}Saying, Master, Moses wrote vnto vs, If any mans brother die hauing a wife, and hee die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise vp seede vnto his brother. 
\verseNumber{29}Now there were seuen brethren, and the first tooke a wife, and he dyed without children. 
\verseNumber{30}And the second tooke the wife, and he dyed childelesse. 
\verseNumber{31}Then the third tooke her: and so likewise the seuen dyed, and left no children. 
\verseNumber{32}And last of all the woman dyed also. 
\verseNumber{33}Therefore at the resurrection, whose wife of them shall she be? for seuen had her to wife. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Iesus answered, and sayd vnto them, The children of this world marry wiues, and are married. 
\verseNumber{35}But they which shalbe counted worthy to enioy that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry wiues, neither are married. 
\verseNumber{36}For they can die no more, forasmuch as they are equall vnto the Angels, and are the sonnes of God, since they are the children of the resurrection. 
\verseNumber{37}And that the dead shall rise againe, euen Moses shewed it besides the bush, when he said, The Lord is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. 
\verseNumber{38}For he is not the God of the dead, but of them which liue: for all liue vnto him. 
\verseNumber{39}Then certaine of the Scribes answered, and sayd, Master, thou hast well sayd. 
\verseNumber{40}And after that, durst they not aske him any thing at all. 
\verseNumber{41}Then sayd he vnto them, Howe say they that Christ is Dauids sonne? 
\verseNumber{42}And Dauid himselfe sayth in the booke of the Psalmes, The Lord sayd vnto my Lord, Sit at my right hand, 
\verseNumber{43}Till I shall make thine enemies thy footestoole. 
\verseNumber{44}Seeing Dauid called him Lord, howe is he then his sonne? 
\verseNumber{45}Then in the audience of all the people he sayd vnto his disciples, 
\verseNumber{46}Beware of the Scribes, which willingly go in long robes, and loue salutations in the markets, and the highest seates in the assemblies, and the chiefe roomes at feastes: 
\verseNumber{47}Which deuoure widowes houses, and in shewe make long prayers: These shall receiue greater damnation. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}And as he behelde, he sawe the rich men, which cast their giftes into the treasurie. 
\verseNumber{2}And he sawe also a certaine poore widowe which cast in thither two mites: 
\verseNumber{3}And he sayd, Of a trueth I say vnto you, that this poore widowe hath cast in more then they all. 
\verseNumber{4}For they all haue of their superfluitie cast into the offerings of God: but she of her penurie hath cast in all the liuing that she had. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe as some spake of the Temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and with consecrate things, he sayd, 
\verseNumber{6}Are these ye things that ye looke vpon? the dayes will come wherein a stone shall not be left vpon a stone, that shall not be throwen downe. 
\verseNumber{7}Then they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what signe shall there be when these things shall come to passe? 
\verseNumber{8}And he sayd, Take heede, that ye be not deceiued: for many will come in my Name, saying, I am Christ, and the time draweth neere: follow ye not them therefore. 
\verseNumber{9}And when ye heare of warres and seditions, be not afraid: for these things must first come, but the ende foloweth not by and by. 
\verseNumber{10}Then said hee vnto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, 
\verseNumber{11}And great earthquakes shall be in diuers places, and hunger, and pestilence, and fearefull things, and great signes shall there be from heauen. 
\verseNumber{12}But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, deliuering you vp to the assemblies, and into prisons, and bring you before Kings and rulers for my Names sake. 
\verseNumber{13}And this shall turne to you, for a testimoniall. 
\verseNumber{14}Lay it vp therefore in your heartes, that ye cast not before hand, what ye shall answere. 
\verseNumber{15}For I will giue you a mouth and wisdome, where against all your aduersaries shall not be able to speake, nor resist. 
\verseNumber{16}Yea, ye shalbe betrayed also of your parents, and of your brethren, and kinsmen, and friendes, and some of you shall they put to death. 
\verseNumber{17}And ye shall bee hated of all men for my Names sake. 
\verseNumber{18}Yet there shall not one heare of your heads perish. 
\verseNumber{19}By your patience possesse your soules. 
\verseNumber{20}And when ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers, then vnderstand that the desolation thereof is neere. 
\verseNumber{21}Then let them which are in Iudea, flee to the mountaines: and let them which are in the middes thereof, depart out: and let not them that are in the countrey, enter therein. 
\verseNumber{22}For these be the dayes of vengeance, to fulfill all things that are written. 
\verseNumber{23}But woe be to them that be with childe, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes: for there shalbe great distresse in this land, and wrath ouer this people. 
\verseNumber{24}And they shall fall on the edge of the sword, and shalbe led captiue into all nations, and Hierusalem shalbe troden vnder foote of the Gentiles, vntill the time of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{25}Then there shalbe signes in the sunne, and in the moone, and in the starres, and vpon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexitie: the sea and the waters shall roare. 
\verseNumber{26}And mens hearts shall faile them for feare, and for looking after those thinges which shall come on the worlde: for the powers of heauen shall be shaken. 
\verseNumber{27}And then shall they see the Sonne of man come in a cloude, with power and great glory. 
\verseNumber{28}And when these things beginne to come to passe, then looke vp, and lift vp your heades: for your redemption draweth neere. 
\verseNumber{29}And he spake to them a parable, Behold, the figge tree, and all trees, 
\verseNumber{30}When they nowe shoote foorth, ye seeing them, knowe of your owne selues, that sommer is then neere. 
\verseNumber{31}So likewise yee, when yee see these thinges come to passe, knowe ye that the kingdome of God is neere. 
\verseNumber{32}Verely I say vnto you, This age shall not passe, till all these things be done: 
\verseNumber{33}Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away. 
\verseNumber{34}Take heede to your selues, lest at any time your hearts be oppressed with surfeting and drunkennesse, and cares of this life, and least that day come on you at vnwares. 
\verseNumber{35}For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 
\verseNumber{36}Watche therefore, and pray continually, that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these thinges that shall come to passe, and that ye may stand before the Sonne of man. 
\verseNumber{37}Nowe in the day time hee taught in the Temple, and at night hee went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Oliues. 
\verseNumber{38}And all the people came in the morning to him, to heare him in the Temple. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{22}Now the feast of vnleauened bread drewe neere, which is called the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{2}And the hie Priests and Scribes sought how they might kill him: for they feared the people. 
\verseNumber{3}Then entred Satan into Iudas, who was called Iscariot, and was of the nomber of the twelue. 
\verseNumber{4}And he went his way, and communed with the hie Priestes and captaines, how he might betray him to them. 
\verseNumber{5}So they were glad, and agreed to giue him money. 
\verseNumber{6}And he consented, and sought opportunitie to betraye him vnto them, when the people were away. 
\verseNumber{7}Then came the day of vnleauened bread, when the Passeouer must be sacrificed. 
\verseNumber{8}And he sent Peter and Iohn, saying, Go and prepare vs the Passeouer, that we may eate it. 
\verseNumber{9}And they saide to him, Where wilt thou, that we prepare it? 
\verseNumber{10}Then he said vnto them, Beholde, when ye be entred into the citie, there shall a man meete you, bearing a pitcher of water: folowe him into the house that he entreth in, 
\verseNumber{11}And say vnto the good man of the house, The Master saith vnto thee, Where is the lodging where I shall eate my Passeouer with my disciples? 
\verseNumber{12}Then he shall shewe you a great hie chamber trimmed: there make it ready. 
\verseNumber{13}So they went, and found as he had said vnto them, and made readie the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{14}And when the houre was come, hee sate downe, and the twelue Apostles with him. 
\verseNumber{15}Then he saide vnto them, I haue earnestly desired to eate this Passeouer with you, before I suffer. 
\verseNumber{16}For I say vnto you, Hencefoorth I will not eate of it any more, vntill it bee fulfilled in the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{17}And hee tooke the cup, and gaue thankes, and said, Take this, and deuide it among you, 
\verseNumber{18}For I say vnto you, I will not drinke of the fruite of the vine, vntill the kingdome of God be come. 
\verseNumber{19}And he tooke bread, and when he had giuen thankes, he brake it, and gaue to them, saying, This is my body, which is giuen for you: doe this in the remembrance of me. 
\verseNumber{20}Likewise also after supper he tooke the cup, saying, This cup is that newe Testament in my blood, which is shed for you. 
\verseNumber{21}Yet beholde, the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table. 
\verseNumber{22}And truely the Sonne of man goeth as it is appointed: but woe be to that man, by whom he is betrayed. 
\verseNumber{23}Then they began to enquire among themselues which of them it should be, that should do that. 
\verseNumber{24}And there arose also a strife among them, which of them should seeme to be ye greatest. 
\verseNumber{25}But hee saide vnto them, The Kings of the Gentiles reigne ouer them, and they that beare rule ouer them, are called bountifull. 
\verseNumber{26}But yee shall not be so: but let the greatest among you be as the least: and the chiefest as he that serueth. 
\verseNumber{27}For who is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serueth? Is not he that sitteth at table? And I am among you as he that serueth. 
\verseNumber{28}And yee are they which haue continued with me in my tentations. 
\verseNumber{29}Therefore I appoint vnto you a kingdome, as my Father hath appointed vnto me, 
\verseNumber{30}That ye may eate, and drinke at my table in my kingdome, and sit on seates, and iudge the twelue tribes of Israel. 
\verseNumber{31}And the Lord saide, Simon, Simon, beholde, Satan hath desired you, to winowe you as wheate. 
\verseNumber{32}But I haue prayed for thee, that thy faith faile not: therefore when thou art conuerted, strengthen thy brethren. 
\verseNumber{33}And he said vnto him, Lord, I am ready to goe with thee into prison, and to death. 
\verseNumber{34}But he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cocke shall not crowe this day, before thou hast thrise denied that thou knewest me. 
\verseNumber{35}And he saide vnto them, When I sent you without bagge, and scrip, and shooes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 
\verseNumber{36}Then he said to them, But nowe he that hath a bagge, let him take it, and likewise a scrip: and hee that hath none, let him sell his coate, and buy a sworde. 
\verseNumber{37}For I say vnto you, That yet the same which is written, must be perfourmed in me, Euen with the wicked was he nombred: for doubtlesse those things which are written of me, haue an ende. 
\verseNumber{38}And they said, Lord, beholde, here are two swordes. And he said vnto them, It is ynough. 
\verseNumber{39}And he came out, and went (as he was wont) to the mount of Oliues: and his disciples also followed him. 
\verseNumber{40}And when hee came to the place, hee said to them, Pray, lest ye enter into tentation. 
\verseNumber{41}And he was drawen aside from them about a stones cast, and kneeled downe, and prayed, 
\verseNumber{42}Saying, Father, if thou wilt, take away this cuppe from mee: neuerthelesse, not my will, but thine be done. 
\verseNumber{43}And there appeared an Angell vnto him from heauen, comforting him. 
\verseNumber{44}But being in an agonie, hee prayed more earnestly: and his sweate was like drops of blood, trickling downe to the ground. 
\verseNumber{45}And he rose vp from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{46}And he said vnto them, Why sleepe ye? rise and pray, least ye enter into tentation. 
\verseNumber{47}And while he yet spake, beholde, a companie, and he that was called Iudas one of the twelue, went before them, and came neere vnto Iesus to kisse him. 
\verseNumber{48}And Iesus saide vnto him, Iudas, betrayest thou the Sonne of man with a kisse? 
\verseNumber{49}Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said vnto him, Lord, shall we smite with sworde? 
\verseNumber{50}And one of them smote a seruant of the hie Priest, and strooke off his right eare. 
\verseNumber{51}Then Iesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus farre: and he touched his eare, and healed him. 
\verseNumber{52}Then Iesus said vnto the hie Priests, and captaines of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Bee ye come out as vnto a theefe with swordes and staues? 
\verseNumber{53}When I was dayly with you in the Temple, yee stretched not foorth the handes against mee: but this is your very houre, and the power of darkenesse. 
\verseNumber{54}Then tooke they him, and led him, and brought him to the hie Priestes house. And Peter followed afarre off. 
\verseNumber{55}And when they had kindled a fire in the middes of the hall, and were set downe together, Peter also sate downe among them. 
\verseNumber{56}And a certaine mayde behelde him as hee sate by the fire, and hauing well looked on him, said, This man was also with him. 
\verseNumber{57}But he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. 
\verseNumber{58}And after a little while, another man sawe him, and saide, Thou art also of them. But Peter said, Man, I am not. 
\verseNumber{59}And about the space of an houre after, a certaine other affirmed, saying. Verely euen this man was with him: for he is also a Galilean. 
\verseNumber{60}And Peter saide, Man, I knowe not what thou sayest. And immediatly while hee yet spake, the cocke crewe. 
\verseNumber{61}Then the Lord turned backe, and looked vpon Peter: and Peter remembred the worde of the Lord, how he had said vnto him, Before the cocke crowe, thou shalt denie me thrise. 
\verseNumber{62}And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 
\verseNumber{63}And the men that helde Iesus, mocked him, and strooke him. 
\verseNumber{64}And when they had blindfolded him, they smote him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophecie who it is that smote thee. 
\verseNumber{65}And many other thinges blasphemously spake they against him. 
\verseNumber{66}And assoone as it was day, the Elders of the people, and the hie Priests and the Scribes came together, and led him into their councill, 
\verseNumber{67}Saying, Art thou that Christ? tell vs. And he said vnto them, If I tell you, ye wil not beleeue it. 
\verseNumber{68}And if also I aske you, you will not answere me, nor let me goe. 
\verseNumber{69}Hereafter shall the Sonne of man sit at the right hand of the power of God. 
\verseNumber{70}Then sayd they all, Art thou then ye Sonne of God? And he sayd to them, Ye say, that I am.

\verseNumber{2}And they began to accuse him, saying, We haue found this man peruerting the nation, and forbidding to pay tribute to Cesar, saying, That he is Christ a King. 
\verseNumber{3}And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Iewes? And hee answered him, and sayd, Thou sayest it. 
\verseNumber{4}Then sayd Pilate to the hie Priests, and to the people, I finde no fault in this man. 
\verseNumber{5}But they were the more fierce, saying, He moueth the people, teaching throughout all Iudea, beginning at Galile, euen to this place. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe when Pilate heard of Galile, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. 
\verseNumber{7}And when he knewe that he was of Herods iurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, which was also at Hierusalem in those dayes. 
\verseNumber{8}And when Herod sawe Iesus, hee was exceedingly glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and trusted to haue seene some signe done by him. 
\verseNumber{9}Then questioned hee with him of many things: but he answered him nothing. 
\verseNumber{10}The hie Priests also and Scribes stood forth, and accused him vehemently. 
\verseNumber{11}And Herod with his men of warre, despised him, and mocked him, and arayed him in white, and sent him againe to Pilate. 
\verseNumber{12}And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were enemies one to another. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Pilate called together the hie Priests and the rulers, and the people, 
\verseNumber{14}And sayd vnto them, Ye haue brought this man vnto me, as one that peruerted the people: and beholde, I haue examined him before you, and haue found no fault in this man, of those things whereof ye accuse him: 
\verseNumber{15}No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him: and loe, nothing worthy of death is done of him. 
\verseNumber{16}I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose. 
\verseNumber{17}(For of necessitie hee must haue let one loose vnto them at the feast.) 
\verseNumber{18}Then all ye multitude cried at once, saying, Away with him, and deliuer vnto vs Barabbas: 
\verseNumber{19}Which for a certaine insurrection made in the citie, and murder, was cast in prison. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Pilate spake againe to them, willing to let Iesus loose. 
\verseNumber{21}But they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him. 
\verseNumber{22}And he sayd vnto them the third time, But what euill hath he done? I finde no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him loose. 
\verseNumber{23}But they were instant with loude voyces, and required that he might be crucified: and the voyces of them and of the hie Priests preuailed. 
\verseNumber{24}So Pilate gaue sentence, that it should be as they required. 
\verseNumber{25}And he let loose vnto them him that for insurrection and murder was cast into prison, whome they desired, and deliuered Iesus to doe with him what they would. 
\verseNumber{26}And as they led him away, they caught one Simon of Cyrene, comming out of the fielde, and on him they layde the crosse, to beare it after Iesus. 
\verseNumber{27}And there followed him a great multitude of people, and of women, which women bewailed and lamented him. 
\verseNumber{28}But Iesus turned backe vnto them, and said, Daughters of Hierusalem, weepe not for me, but weepe for your selues, and for your children. 
\verseNumber{29}For behold, the dayes wil come, when men shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombes that neuer bare, and the pappes which neuer gaue sucke. 
\verseNumber{30}Then shall they begin to say to the mountaines, Fall on vs: and to the hilles, Couer vs. 
\verseNumber{31}For if they doe these things to a greene tree, what shalbe done to the drie? 
\verseNumber{32}And there were two others, which were euill doers, led with him to be slaine. 
\verseNumber{33}And when they were come to the place, which is called Caluarie, there they crucified him, and the euill doers: one at the right hand, and the other at the left. 
\verseNumber{34}Then sayd Iesus, Father, forgiue them: for they know not what they doe. And they parted his raiment, and cast lottes. 
\verseNumber{35}And the people stoode, and behelde: and the rulers mocked him with them, saying, He saued others: let him saue himselfe, if hee be that Christ, the Chosen of God. 
\verseNumber{36}The souldiers also mocked him, and came and offered him vineger, 
\verseNumber{37}And said, If thou be the King of the Iewes, saue thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{38}And a superscription was also written ouer him, in Greeke letters, and in Latin, and in Hebrewe, THIS IS THAT KING OF THE JEWES. 
\verseNumber{39}And one of the euill doers, which were hanged, railed on him, saying, If thou be that Christ, saue thy selfe and vs. 
\verseNumber{40}But the other answered, and rebuked him, saying, Fearest thou not God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 
\verseNumber{41}We are in deede righteously here: for we receiue things worthy of that we haue done: but this man hath done nothing amisse. 
\verseNumber{42}And he sayd vnto Iesus, Lord, remember me, when thou commest into thy kingdome. 
\verseNumber{43}Then Iesus said vnto him, Verely I say vnto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. 
\verseNumber{44}And it was about the sixt houre: and there was a darkenes ouer all the land, vntill the ninth houre. 
\verseNumber{45}And the Sunne was darkened, and the vaile of the Temple rent through the middes. 
\verseNumber{46}And Iesus cryed with a loude voyce, and sayd, Father, into thine hands I commend my spirit. And when hee thus had sayd, hee gaue vp the ghost. 
\verseNumber{47}Nowe when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Of a suretie this man was iust. 
\verseNumber{48}And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things, which were done, smote their brestes, and returned. 
\verseNumber{49}And all his acquaintance stood a farre off, and the women that followed him from Galile, beholding these things. 
\verseNumber{50}And beholde, there was a man named Ioseph, which was a counseller, a good man and a iust. 
\verseNumber{51}Hee did not consent to the counsell and deede of them, which was of Arimathea, a citie of the Iewes: who also himselfe waited for the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{52}He went vnto Pilate, and asked the body of Iesus, 
\verseNumber{53}And tooke it downe, and wrapped it in a linnen cloth, and laide it in a tombe hewen out of a rocke, wherein was neuer man yet laide. 
\verseNumber{54}And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drewe on. 
\verseNumber{55}And the women also that followed after, which came with him from Galile, behelde the sepulchre, and how his body was layd. 
\verseNumber{56}And they returned and prepared odours, and ointments, and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandement. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{24}Nowe the first day of the weeke early in the morning, they came vnto the sepulchre, and brought the odours, which they had prepared, and certaine women with them. 
\verseNumber{2}And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre, 
\verseNumber{3}And went in, but found not the body of the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{4}And it came to passe, that as they were amased thereat, beholde, two men suddenly stood by them in shining vestures. 
\verseNumber{5}And as they were afraide, and bowed downe their faces to the earth, they sayd to them, Why seeke ye him that liueth, among the dead? 
\verseNumber{6}He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile, 
\verseNumber{7}Saying, that the sonne of man must be deliuered into the hands of sinfull men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againe. 
\verseNumber{8}And they remembred his wordes, 
\verseNumber{9}And returned from the sepulchre, and tolde all these things vnto the eleuen, and to all the remnant. 
\verseNumber{10}Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Ioanna, and Mary the mother of Iames, and other women with them, which tolde these things vnto the Apostles. 
\verseNumber{11}But their wordes seemed vnto them, as a fained thing, neither beleeued they them. 
\verseNumber{12}Then arose Peter, and ran vnto the sepulchre, and looked in, and saw the linnen clothes laide by themselues, and departed wondering in himselfe at that which was come to passe. 
\verseNumber{13}And beholde, two of them went that same day to a towne which was from Hierusalem about threescore furlongs, called Emmaus. 
\verseNumber{14}And they talked together of al these things that were done. 
\verseNumber{15}And it came to passe, as they communed together, and reasoned, that Iesus himselfe drewe neere, and went with them. 
\verseNumber{16}But their eyes were holden, that they could not know him. 
\verseNumber{17}And he sayd vnto them, What maner of communications are these that ye haue one to another as ye walke and are sad? 
\verseNumber{18}And the one (named Cleopas) answered, and sayd vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe therein in these dayes? 
\verseNumber{19}And he said vnto them, What things? And they sayd vnto him, Of Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mightie in deede and in word before God, and all people, 
\verseNumber{20}And howe the hie Priests, and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him. 
\verseNumber{21}But we trusted that it had bene he that should haue deliuered Israel, and as touching all these things, to day is ye third day, that they were done. 
\verseNumber{22}Yea, and certaine women among vs made vs astonied, which came early vnto the sepulchre. 
\verseNumber{23}And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which sayd, that he was aliue. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore certaine of them which were with vs, went to the sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had sayd, but him they saw not. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he sayd vnto them, O fooles and slowe of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken! 
\verseNumber{26}Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 
\verseNumber{27}And he began at Moses, and at all the Prophets, and interpreted vnto them in all the Scriptures the things which were written of him. 
\verseNumber{28}And they drew neere vnto ye towne, which they went to, but he made as though hee would haue gone further. 
\verseNumber{29}But they constrained him, saying, Abide with vs: for it is towards night, and the day is farre spent. So he went in to tarie with them. 
\verseNumber{30}And it came to passe, as hee sate at table with them, he tooke the bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gaue it to them. 
\verseNumber{31}Then their eyes were opened, and they knewe him: and he was no more seene of them. 
\verseNumber{32}And they saide betweene themselues, Did not our heartes burne within vs, while he talked with vs by the way, and when he opened to vs the Scriptures? 
\verseNumber{33}And they rose vp the same houre, and returned to Hierusalem, and found the Eleuen gathered together, and them that were with them, 
\verseNumber{34}Which said, The Lord is risen in deede, and hath appeared to Simon. 
\verseNumber{35}Then they tolde what things were done in the way, and howe he was knowen of them in breaking of bread. 
\verseNumber{36}And as they spake these things, Iesus himselfe stoode in the middes of them, and saide vnto them, Peace be to you. 
\verseNumber{37}But they were abashed and afraide, supposing that they had seene a spirit. 
\verseNumber{38}Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore doe doutes arise in your hearts? 
\verseNumber{39}Beholde mine handes and my feete: for it is I my selfe: handle me, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me haue. 
\verseNumber{40}And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and feete. 
\verseNumber{41}And while they yet beleeued not for ioy, and wondred, he saide vnto them, Haue ye here any meate? 
\verseNumber{42}And they gaue him a piece of a broyled fish, and of an honie combe, 
\verseNumber{43}And hee tooke it, and did eate before them. 
\verseNumber{44}And he saide vnto them, These are the wordes, which I spake vnto you while I was yet with you, that all must be fulfilled which are written of me in the Lawe of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes. 
\verseNumber{45}Then opened he their vnderstanding, that they might vnderstand the Scriptures, 
\verseNumber{46}And said vnto them, Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christ to suffer, and to rise againe from the dead the third day, 
\verseNumber{47}And that repentance, and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{48}Nowe ye are witnesses of these things. 
\verseNumber{49}And beholde, I doe sende the promise of my Father vpon you: but tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntill ye be endued with power from an hie. 
\verseNumber{50}Afterward he lead them out into Bethania, and lift vp his hands, and blessed them. 
\verseNumber{51}And it came to passe, that as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caried vp into heauen. 
\verseNumber{52}And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem with great ioy, 
\verseNumber{53}And were continually in the Temple, praysing, and lauding God, Amen.

\BibleMainTitle{THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ST. JOHN }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}In the beginning was that Word, and that Word was with God, and that Word was God. 
\verseNumber{2}This same was in the beginning with God. 
\verseNumber{3}All things were made by it, and without it was made nothing that was made. 
\verseNumber{4}In it was life, and that life was the light of men. 
\verseNumber{5}And that light shineth in the darkenesse, and the darkenesse comprehended it not. 
\verseNumber{6}There was a man sent from God, whose name was Iohn. 
\verseNumber{7}This same came for a witnesse, to beare witnesse of that light, that all men through him might beleeue. 
\verseNumber{8}He was not that light, but was sent to beare witnesse of that light. 
\verseNumber{9}This was that true light, which lighteth euery man that commeth into the world. 
\verseNumber{10}He was in the world, and the worlde was made by him: and the worlde knewe him not. 
\verseNumber{11}He came vnto his owne, and his owne receiued him not. 
\verseNumber{12}But as many as receiued him, to them he gaue prerogatiue to be the sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue in his Name. 
\verseNumber{13}Which are borne not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of ye wil of man, but of God. 
\verseNumber{14}And that Word was made flesh, and dwelt among vs, (and we sawe the glorie thereof, as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father) full of grace and trueth. 
\verseNumber{15}Iohn bare witnesse of him, and cryed, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that commeth after me, was before me: for he was better then I. 
\verseNumber{16}And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace. 
\verseNumber{17}For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{18}No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him. 
\verseNumber{19}Then this is the record of Iohn, when the Iewes sent Priestes and Leuites from Hierusalem, to aske him, Who art thou? 
\verseNumber{20}And he confessed and denied not, and said plainely, I am not that Christ. 
\verseNumber{21}And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou that Prophet? And he answered, No. 
\verseNumber{22}Then said they vnto him, Who art thou, that we may giue an answere to them that sent vs? What sayest thou of thy selfe? 
\verseNumber{23}He said, I am the voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet Esaias. 
\verseNumber{24}Nowe they which were sent, were of the Pharises. 
\verseNumber{25}And they asked him, and saide vnto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, neither Elias, nor that Prophet? 
\verseNumber{26}Iohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there is one among you, whom ye knowe not. 
\verseNumber{27}He it is that commeth after me, which was before me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthie to vnloose. 
\verseNumber{28}These things were done in Bethabara beyond Iordan, where Iohn did baptize. 
\verseNumber{29}The next day Iohn, seeth Iesus comming vnto him, and saith, Beholde that Lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the world. 
\verseNumber{30}This is he of whom I saide, After me commeth a man, which was before me: for he was better then I. 
\verseNumber{31}And I knewe him not: but because he should be declared to Israel, therefore am I come, baptizing with water. 
\verseNumber{32}So Iohn bare recorde, saying, I behelde that Spirit come downe from heauen, like a doue, and it abode vpon him, 
\verseNumber{33}And I knewe him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, he saide vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt see that Spirit come downe, and tary still on him, that is he which baptizeth with the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{34}And I sawe, and bare record that this is that Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{35}The next day, Iohn stoode againe, and two of his disciples. 
\verseNumber{36}And he behelde Iesus walking by, and said, Beholde that Lambe of God. 
\verseNumber{37}And the two disciples heard him speake, and followed Iesus. 
\verseNumber{38}Then Iesus turned about, and saw them follow, and saide vnto them, What seeke ye? And they saide vnto him, Rabbi (which is to say by interpretation, Master) where dwellest thou? 
\verseNumber{39}He saide vnto them, Come, and see. They came and sawe where hee dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth houre. 
\verseNumber{40}Andrew, Simon Peters brother, was one of the two which had heard it of Iohn, and that followed him. 
\verseNumber{41}The same founde his brother Simon first, and said vnto him, We haue founde that Messias, which is by interpretation, that Christ. 
\verseNumber{42}And he brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him, and saide, Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. 
\verseNumber{43}The day following, Iesus woulde goe into Galile, and founde Philip, and said vnto him, Followe me. 
\verseNumber{44}Nowe Philip was of Bethsaida, the citie of Andrew and Peter. 
\verseNumber{45}Philippe founde Nathanael, and saide vnto him, Wee haue founde him of whom Moses did write in the Lawe, and the Prophetes, Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, that was of Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{46}Then Nathanael sayde vnto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saide to him, Come, and see. 
\verseNumber{47}Iesus sawe Nathanael comming to him, and saide of him, Beholde in deede an Israelite, in whom is no guile. 
\verseNumber{48}Nathanael sayde vnto him, Whence knewest thou mee? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder the figge tree, I sawe thee. 
\verseNumber{49}Nathanael answered, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, thou art that Sonne of God: thou art that King of Israel. 
\verseNumber{50}Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him, Because I sayde vnto thee, I sawe thee vnder the figtree, beleeuest thou? thou shalt see greater things then these. 
\verseNumber{51}And he saide vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto you, hereafter shall yee see heauen open, and the Angels of God ascending, and descending vpon that Sonne of man.

\chapterNumber{2}And the thirde day, was there a mariage in Cana a towne of Galile, and the mother of Iesus was there. 
\verseNumber{2}And Iesus was called also, and his disciples vnto the mariage. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe when the wine failed, the mother of Iesus saide vnto him, They haue no wine. 
\verseNumber{4}Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come. 
\verseNumber{5}His mother saide vnto the seruants, Whatsoeuer he sayeth vnto you, doe it. 
\verseNumber{6}And there were set there, sixe waterpots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins a piece. 
\verseNumber{7}And Iesus sayde vnto them, Fill the waterpots with water. Then they filled them vp to the brim. 
\verseNumber{8}Then he sayde vnto them, Draw out nowe and beare vnto the gouernour of the feast. So they bare it. 
\verseNumber{9}Nowe when the gouernour of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, (for he knewe not whence it was: but the seruants, which drewe the water, knewe) the gouernour of ye feast called the bridegrome, 
\verseNumber{10}And saide vnto him, All men at the beginning set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept backe the good wine vntill nowe. 
\verseNumber{11}This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana a towne of Galile, and shewed forth his glorie: and his disciples beleeued on him. 
\verseNumber{12}After that, he went downe into Capernaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: but they continued not many daies there. 
\verseNumber{13}For the Iewes Passeouer was at hande. Therefore Iesus went vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{14}And he found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and changers of money, sitting there. 
\verseNumber{15}Then hee made a scourge of small cordes, and draue them all out of the Temple with the sheepe and oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrewe the tables, 
\verseNumber{16}And said vnto them that solde doues, Take these things hence: make not my fathers house, an house of marchandise. 
\verseNumber{17}And his disciples remembred, that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp. 
\verseNumber{18}Then answered the Iewes, and saide vnto him, What signe shewest thou vnto vs, that thou doest these things? 
\verseNumber{19}Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Destroy this Temple, and in three daies I will raise it vp againe. 
\verseNumber{20}Then said the Iewes, Fourtie and sixe yeeres was this Temple a building, and wilt thou reare it vp in three daies? 
\verseNumber{21}But he spake of the temple of his bodie. 
\verseNumber{22}Assoone therefore as he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembred that hee thus sayde vnto them: and they beleeued the Scripture, and the worde which Iesus had saide. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe when hee was at Hierusalem at the Passeouer in the feast, many beleeued in his Name, when they sawe his miracles which he did. 
\verseNumber{24}But Iesus did not commit him selfe vnto them, because he knewe them all, 
\verseNumber{25}And had no neede that any should testifie of man: for he knewe what was in man. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}There was nowe a man of the Pharises, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{2}This man came to Iesus by night, and sayd vnto him, Rabbi, we knowe ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him. 
\verseNumber{3}Iesus answered, and said vnto him, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except a man be borne againe, he can not see the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{4}Nicodemus sayde vnto him, Howe can a man be borne which is olde? can he enter into his mothers wombe againe, and be borne? 
\verseNumber{5}Iesus answered, Verely, verely I say vnto thee, except that a man be borne of water and of the Spirite, hee can not enter into the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{6}That which is borne of the flesh, is flesh: and that that is borne of the Spirit, is spirit. 
\verseNumber{7}Marueile not that I said to thee, Yee must be borne againe. 
\verseNumber{8}The winde bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth, and whither it goeth: so is euery man that is borne of the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{9}Nicodemus answered, and said vnto him, Howe can these things be? 
\verseNumber{10}Iesus answered, and saide vnto him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these things? 
\verseNumber{11}Verely, verely I say vnto thee, wee speake that we know, and testifie that we haue seene: but yee receiue not our witnesse. 
\verseNumber{12}If when I tel you earthly things, ye beleeue not, howe should yee beleeue, if I shall tel you of heauenly things? 
\verseNumber{13}For no man ascendeth vp to heauen, but he that hath descended from heauen, that Sonne of man which is in heauen. 
\verseNumber{14}And as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wildernesse, so must that Sonne of man be lift vp, 
\verseNumber{15}That whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shoulde not perish, but haue eternall life. 
\verseNumber{16}For God so loued the worlde, that hee hath giuen his onely begotten Sonne, that whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should not perish, but haue euerlasting life. 
\verseNumber{17}For God sent not his Sonne into the world, that he should condemne the world, but that the world through him might be saued. 
\verseNumber{18}Hee that beleeueth in him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeueth not, is condemned already, because he hath not beleeued in the Name of that onely begotten Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{19}And this is the condemnation, that that light came into the worlde, and men loued darknesse rather then that light, because their deedes were euill. 
\verseNumber{20}For euery man that euill doeth, hateth the light, neither commeth to light, least his deedes should be reprooued. 
\verseNumber{21}But he that doeth trueth, commeth to the light, that his deedes might bee made manifest, that they are wrought according to God. 
\verseNumber{22}After these things, came Iesus and his disciples into the lande of Iudea, and there taried with them, and baptized. 
\verseNumber{23}And Iohn also baptized in Enon besides Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. 
\verseNumber{24}For Iohn was not yet cast into prison. 
\verseNumber{25}Then there arose a question betweene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifying. 
\verseNumber{26}And they came vnto Iohn, and saide vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Iorden, to whom thou barest witnesse, behold, he baptizeth, and all men come to him. 
\verseNumber{27}Iohn answered, and saide, A man can receiue nothing, except it be giuen him from heauen. 
\verseNumber{28}Yee your selues are my witnesses, that I sayde, I am not that Christ, but that I am sent before him. 
\verseNumber{29}He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome: but the friend of the bridegrome which standeth and heareth him, reioyceth greatly, because of the bridegromes voyce. This my ioy therefore is fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{30}He must increase, but I must decrease. 
\verseNumber{31}Hee that is come from an hie, is aboue all: he that is of the earth, is of the earth, and speaketh of the earth: hee that is come from heauen, is aboue all. 
\verseNumber{32}And what hee hath seene and heard, that he testifieth: but no man receiueth his testimonie. 
\verseNumber{33}He that hath receiued his testimonie, hath sealed that God is true. 
\verseNumber{34}For hee whome God hath sent, speaketh the woordes of God: for God giueth him not the Spirit by measure. 
\verseNumber{35}The Father loueth the Sonne, and hath giuen all things into his hande. 
\verseNumber{36}Hee that beleeueth in the Sonne, hath euerlasting life, and hee that obeyeth not the Sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

\chapterNumber{4}Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn, 
\verseNumber{2}(Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples) 
\verseNumber{3}Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile. 
\verseNumber{4}And he must needes goe through Samaria. 
\verseNumber{5}Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph. 
\verseNumber{6}And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre. 
\verseNumber{7}There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke. 
\verseNumber{8}For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate. 
\verseNumber{9}Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans. 
\verseNumber{10}Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life. 
\verseNumber{11}The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life? 
\verseNumber{12}Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell? 
\verseNumber{13}Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe: 
\verseNumber{14}But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shall giue him, shall neuer be more a thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water, springing vp into euerlasting life. 
\verseNumber{15}The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe. 
\verseNumber{16}Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither. 
\verseNumber{17}The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband. 
\verseNumber{18}For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely. 
\verseNumber{19}The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{20}Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 
\verseNumber{21}Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father. 
\verseNumber{22}Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{23}But the houre commeth, and nowe is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and trueth: for the Father requireth euen such to worship him. 
\verseNumber{24}God is a Spirite, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and trueth. 
\verseNumber{25}The woman said vnto him, I knowe well that Messias shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell vs all things. 
\verseNumber{26}Iesus said vnto her, I am he, that speake vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{27}And vpon that, came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with a woman: yet no man said vnto him, What askest thou? or why talkest thou with her? 
\verseNumber{28}The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the citie, and said to the men, 
\verseNumber{29}Come, see a man which hath tolde me all things that euer I did: is not he that Christ? 
\verseNumber{30}Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him. 
\verseNumber{31}In the meane while, the disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate. 
\verseNumber{32}But he said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of. 
\verseNumber{33}Then said ye disciples betweene themselues, Hath any man brought him meate? 
\verseNumber{34}Iesus saide vnto them, My meate is that I may doe the will of him that sent me, and finish his worke. 
\verseNumber{35}Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the regions: for they are white alreadie vnto haruest. 
\verseNumber{36}And he that reapeth, receiueth rewarde, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall, that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, might reioyce together. 
\verseNumber{37}For herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and an other reapeth. 
\verseNumber{38}I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours. 
\verseNumber{39}Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did. 
\verseNumber{40}Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes. 
\verseNumber{41}And many moe beleeued because of his owne word. 
\verseNumber{42}And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world. 
\verseNumber{43}So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile. 
\verseNumber{44}For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey. 
\verseNumber{45}Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast. 
\verseNumber{46}And Iesus came againe into Cana a towne of Galile, where he had made of water, wine. And there was a certaine ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum. 
\verseNumber{47}When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galile, he went vnto him, and besought him that he would goe downe, and heale his sonne: for he was euen ready to die. 
\verseNumber{48}Then saide Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, ye will not beleeue. 
\verseNumber{49}The ruler said vnto him, Syr, goe downe before my sonne dye. 
\verseNumber{50}Iesus said vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth: and the man beleeued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and went his way. 
\verseNumber{51}And as he was nowe going downe, his seruants met him, saying, Thy sonne liueth. 
\verseNumber{52}Then enquired he of them the houre when he began to amend. And they said vnto him, Yesterday the seuenth houre the feuer left him. 
\verseNumber{53}Then the father knew, that it was the same houre in the which Iesus had said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth. And he beleeued, and all his houshold. 
\verseNumber{54}This second miracle did Iesus againe, after he was come out of Iudea into Galile. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{2}And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches: 
\verseNumber{3}In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water. 
\verseNumber{4}For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had. 
\verseNumber{5}And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres. 
\verseNumber{6}When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 
\verseNumber{7}The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me. 
\verseNumber{8}Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke. 
\verseNumber{9}And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath. 
\verseNumber{10}The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed. 
\verseNumber{11}He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke. 
\verseNumber{12}Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke? 
\verseNumber{13}And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place. 
\verseNumber{14}And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{15}The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole. 
\verseNumber{16}And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{17}But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God. 
\verseNumber{19}Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner. 
\verseNumber{20}For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile. 
\verseNumber{21}For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will. 
\verseNumber{22}For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne, 
\verseNumber{23}Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him. 
\verseNumber{24}Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life. 
\verseNumber{25}Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue. 
\verseNumber{26}For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe, 
\verseNumber{27}And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man. 
\verseNumber{28}Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce. 
\verseNumber{29}And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation. 
\verseNumber{30}I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me. 
\verseNumber{31}If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true. 
\verseNumber{32}There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true. 
\verseNumber{33}Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth. 
\verseNumber{34}But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued. 
\verseNumber{35}He was a burning, and a shining candle: and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his light. 
\verseNumber{36}But I haue greater witnesse then the witnesse of Iohn: for the workes which the Father hath giuen me to finish, the same workes that I doe, beare witnesse of me, that the Father sent me. 
\verseNumber{37}And the Father himselfe, which hath sent me, beareth witnesse of me. Ye haue not heard his voyce at any time, neither haue ye seene his shape. 
\verseNumber{38}And his worde haue you not abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye beleeued not. 
\verseNumber{39}Searche the Scriptures: for in them ye thinke to haue eternall life, and they are they which testifie of me. 
\verseNumber{40}But ye will not come to me, that ye might haue life. 
\verseNumber{41}I receiue not the prayse of men. 
\verseNumber{42}But I know you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you. 
\verseNumber{43}I am come in my Fathers Name, and ye receiue me not: if another shall come in his owne name, him will ye receiue. 
\verseNumber{44}How can ye beleeue, which receiue honour one of another, and seeke not the honour that commeth of God alone? 
\verseNumber{45}Doe not thinke that I will accuse you to my Father: there is one that accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye trust. 
\verseNumber{46}For had ye beleeued Moses, ye would haue beleeued me: for he wrote of me. 
\verseNumber{47}But if ye beleeue not his writings, how shall ye beleeue my wordes?

\chapterNumber{6}After these thinges, Iesus went his way ouer the sea of Galile, which is Tiberias. 
\verseNumber{2}And a great multitude followed him, because they sawe his miracles, which hee did on them that were diseased. 
\verseNumber{3}Then Iesus went vp into a mountaine, and there he sate with his disciples. 
\verseNumber{4}Now the Passeouer, a feast of the Iewes, was neere. 
\verseNumber{5}Then Iesus lift vp his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude came vnto him, hee sayde vnto Philippe, Whence shall we buy breade, that these might eate? 
\verseNumber{6}(And this he sayde to prooue him: for hee himselfe knewe what he would doe.) 
\verseNumber{7}Philippe answered him, Two hundreth penie worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that euery one of them may take a litle. 
\verseNumber{8}Then saide vnto him one of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peters brother, 
\verseNumber{9}There is a little boy heere, which hath fiue barlie loaues, and two fishes: but what are they among so many? 
\verseNumber{10}And Iesus saide, Make ye people sit downe. (Nowe there was much grasse in that place.) Then the men sate downe in nomber, about fiue thousande. 
\verseNumber{11}And Iesus tooke the bread, and gaue thanks, and gaue to the disciples, and the disciples, to them that were set downe: and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 
\verseNumber{12}And when they were satisfied, he said vnto his disciples, Gather vp the broken meat which remaineth, that nothing be lost. 
\verseNumber{13}Then they gathered it together, and filled twelue baskets with the broken meat of the fiue barly loaues, which remained vnto them that had eaten. 
\verseNumber{14}Then the men, when they had seene the miracle that Iesus did, saide, This is of a trueth that Prophet that should come into the world. 
\verseNumber{15}When Iesus therfore perceiued that they would come, and take him to make him a King, hee departed againe into a mountaine himselfe alone. 
\verseNumber{16}When euen was nowe come, his disciples went downe vnto the sea, 
\verseNumber{17}And entred into a shippe, and went ouer the sea, towardes Capernaum: and nowe it was darke, and Iesus was not come to them. 
\verseNumber{18}And the Sea arose with a great winde that blewe. 
\verseNumber{19}And when they had rowed about fiue and twentie, or thirtie furlongs, they sawe Iesus walking on the sea, and drawing neere vnto the ship: so they were afraide. 
\verseNumber{20}But he said vnto them, It is I: be not afraid. 
\verseNumber{21}Then willingly they receiued him into the ship, and the ship was by and by at the lande, whither they went. 
\verseNumber{22}The day following, the people which stoode on the other side of the sea, saw that there was none other ship there, saue that one, whereinto his disciples were entred, and that Iesus went not with his disciples in the ship, but that his disciples were gone alone, 
\verseNumber{23}And that there came other ships from Tiberias neere vnto the place where they ate the bread, after the Lord had giuen thankes. 
\verseNumber{24}Nowe when the people sawe that Iesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also tooke shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Iesus. 
\verseNumber{25}And when they had founde him on the other side of the sea, they sayde vnto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? 
\verseNumber{26}Iesus answered them; and sayde, Verely, verely I say vnto you, ye seeke me not because ye sawe the miracles, but because yee ate of ye loaues, and were filled. 
\verseNumber{27}Labour not for ye meate which perisheth, but for the meate that endureth vnto euerlasting life, which the Sonne of man shall giue vnto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 
\verseNumber{28}Then sayde they vnto him, What shall we doe, that we might worke the workes of God? 
\verseNumber{29}Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, This is the woorke of God, that yee beleeue in him, whome he hath sent. 
\verseNumber{30}They sayde therefore vnto him, What signe shewest thou then, that we may see it, and beleeue thee? what doest thou woorke? 
\verseNumber{31}Our fathers did eate Manna in the desart, as it is written, Hee gaue them bread from heauen to eate. 
\verseNumber{32}Then Iesus said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Moses gaue you not that bread from heauen, but my Father giueth you that true bread from heauen. 
\verseNumber{33}For the breade of God is hee which commeth downe from heauen, and giueth life vnto the world. 
\verseNumber{34}Then they said vnto him, Lord, euermore giue vs this bread. 
\verseNumber{35}And Iesus saide vnto them, I am that bread of life: he that commeth to me, shall not hunger, and he that beleeueth in me, shall neuer thirst. 
\verseNumber{36}But I said vnto you, that ye also haue seene me, and beleeue not. 
\verseNumber{37}All that the Father giueth me, shall come to mee: and him that commeth to me, I cast not away. 
\verseNumber{38}For I came downe from heauen, not to do mine owne wil, but his wil which hath sent me. 
\verseNumber{39}And this is the Fathers will which hath sent mee, that of all which hee hath giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but shoulde raise it vp againe at the last day. 
\verseNumber{40}And this is the will of him that sent mee, that euery man which seeth the Sonne, and beleeueth in him, should haue euerlasting life: and I will raise him vp at the last day. 
\verseNumber{41}The Iewes then murmured at him because hee sayde, I am that bread, which is come downe from heauen. 
\verseNumber{42}And they said, Is not this Iesus that sonne of Ioseph, whose father and mother wee knowe? howe then sayth he, I came downe from heauen? 
\verseNumber{43}Iesus then answered, and saide vnto them, Murmure not among your selues. 
\verseNumber{44}No man can come to mee, except the Father, which hath sent mee, drawe him: and I will raise him vp at the last day. 
\verseNumber{45}It is written in the Prophetes, And they shalbe al taught of God. Euery man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, commeth vnto me: 
\verseNumber{46}Not that any man hath seene the Father, saue hee which is of God, hee hath seene the Father. 
\verseNumber{47}Verely, verely I say vnto you, hee that beleeueth in me, hath euerlasting life. 
\verseNumber{48}I am that bread of life. 
\verseNumber{49}Your fathers did eate Manna in the wildernesse, and are dead. 
\verseNumber{50}This is that breade, which commeth downe from heauen, that hee which eateth of it, shoulde not die. 
\verseNumber{51}I am that liuing breade, which came downe from heauen: if any man eate of this breade, hee shall liue for euer: and the bread that I will giue, is my flesh, which I will giue for the life of the world. 
\verseNumber{52}Then the Iewes stroue among themselues, saying, Howe can this man giue vs his flesh to eate? 
\verseNumber{53}Then Iesus saide vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except yee eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, and drinke his blood, yee haue no life in you. 
\verseNumber{54}Whosoeuer eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternall life, and I will raise him vp at the last day. 
\verseNumber{55}For my flesh is meat in deede, and my blood is drinke in deede. 
\verseNumber{56}Hee that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 
\verseNumber{57}As that liuing Father hath sent me, so liue I by the Father, and he that eateth me, euen he shall liue by me. 
\verseNumber{58}This is that bread which came downe from heauen: not as your fathers haue eaten Manna, and are deade. Hee that eateth of this bread, shall liue for euer. 
\verseNumber{59}These things spake he in the Synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. 
\verseNumber{60}Many therefore of his disciples (when they heard this) sayde, This is an hard saying: who can heare it? 
\verseNumber{61}But Iesus knowing in himselfe, that his disciples murmured at this, saide vnto them, Doeth this offend you? 
\verseNumber{62}What then if yee should see that Sonne of man ascend vp where he was before? 
\verseNumber{63}It is the spirite that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the woordes that I speake vnto you, are spirite and life. 
\verseNumber{64}But there are some of you that beleeue not: for Iesus knewe from the beginning, which they were that beleeued not, and who shoulde betray him. 
\verseNumber{65}And hee saide, Therefore saide I vnto you, that no man can come vnto mee, except it be giuen vnto him of my Father. 
\verseNumber{66}From that time, many of his disciples went backe, and walked no more with him. 
\verseNumber{67}Then sayde Iesus to the twelue, Will yee also goe away? 
\verseNumber{68}Then Simon Peter answered him, Master, to whome shall we goe? thou hast the wordes of eternall life: 
\verseNumber{69}And we beleeue and knowe that thou art that Christ that Sonne of the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{70}Iesus answered them, Haue not I chosen you twelue, and one of you is a deuill? 
\verseNumber{71}Now he spake it of Iudas Iscariot the sonne of Simon: for hee it was that shoulde betraie him, though he was one of the twelue.

\chapterNumber{7}After these things, Iesus walked in Galile, and woulde not walke in Iudea: for the Iewes sought to kill him. 
\verseNumber{2}Nowe the Iewes feast of the Tabernacles was at hande. 
\verseNumber{3}His brethren therefore sayde vnto him, Depart hence, and goe into Iudea, that thy disciples may see thy woorkes that thou doest. 
\verseNumber{4}For there is no man that doeth any thing secretely, and hee himselfe seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, shewe thy selfe to the worlde. 
\verseNumber{5}For as yet his brethren beleeued not in him. 
\verseNumber{6}Then Iesus saide vnto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway readie. 
\verseNumber{7}The world can not hate you: but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes thereof are euill. 
\verseNumber{8}Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wil not go vp yet vnto this feast: for my time is not yet fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{9}These things he sayde vnto them, and abode still in Galile. 
\verseNumber{10}But assoone as his brethren were gone vp, then went hee also vp vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were priuilie. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the Iewes sought him at the feast, and saide, Where is hee? 
\verseNumber{12}And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: other sayd, Nay: but he deceiueth the people. 
\verseNumber{13}Howbeit no man spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe when halfe the feast was done, Iesus went vp into the Temple and taught. 
\verseNumber{15}And the Iewes marueiled, saving, Howe knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that hee neuer learned! 
\verseNumber{16}Iesus answered them, and saide, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 
\verseNumber{17}If any man will doe his will, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe. 
\verseNumber{18}Hee that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glorie: but hee that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnes is in him. 
\verseNumber{19}Did not Moses giue you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the lawe? Why goe ye about to kill me? 
\verseNumber{20}The people answered, and said, Thou hast a deuil: who goeth about to kill thee? 
\verseNumber{21}Iesus answered, and saide to them, I haue done one worke, and ye all maruaile. 
\verseNumber{22}Moses therefore gaue vnto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man. 
\verseNumber{23}If a man on the Sabbath receiue circumcision, that the Lawe of Moses should not be broken, be ye angrie with me, because I haue made a man euery whit whole on the Sabbath day? 
\verseNumber{24}Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement. 
\verseNumber{25}Then saide some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this he, whom they goe about to kill? 
\verseNumber{26}And beholde, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: doe the rulers know in deede that this is in deede that Christ? 
\verseNumber{27}Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ commeth, no man shall knowe whence he is. 
\verseNumber{28}Then cried Iesus in the Temple as hee taught, saying, Ye both knowe mee, and knowe whence I am: yet am I not come of my selfe, but he that sent me, is true, whome ye knowe not. 
\verseNumber{29}But I knowe him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me. 
\verseNumber{30}Then they sought to take him, but no man layde handes on him, because his houre was not yet come. 
\verseNumber{31}Now many of the people beleeued in him, and said, When that Christ commeth, will he doe moe miracles then this man hath done? 
\verseNumber{32}The Pharises heard that the people murmured these thinges of him, and the Pharises, and high Priestes sent officers to take him. 
\verseNumber{33}Then saide Iesus vnto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then goe I vnto him that sent mee. 
\verseNumber{34}Ye shall seeke me, and shall not finde me, and where I am, can ye not come. 
\verseNumber{35}Then saide the Iewes amongs themselues, Whither will he goe, that we shall not finde him? Will he goe vnto them that are dispersed among the Grecians, and teache the Grecians? 
\verseNumber{36}What saying is this that hee saide, Ye shall seeke mee, and shall not finde mee? and where I am, cannot ye come? 
\verseNumber{37}Nowe in the last and great day of the feast, Iesus stoode and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come vnto me, and drinke. 
\verseNumber{38}Hee that beleeueth in mee, as saith the Scripture, out of his bellie shall flowe riuers of water of life. 
\verseNumber{39}(This spake hee of the Spirite which they that beleeued in him, should receiue: for the holy Ghost was not yet giuen, because that Iesus was not yet glorified.) 
\verseNumber{40}So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a trueth this is that Prophet. 
\verseNumber{41}Other saide, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galile? 
\verseNumber{42}Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Beth-leem, where Dauid was? 
\verseNumber{43}So was there dissension among the people for him. 
\verseNumber{44}And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layde handes on him. 
\verseNumber{45}Then came the officers to the hie Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him? 
\verseNumber{46}The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man. 
\verseNumber{47}Then answered them the Pharises, Are yee also deceiued? 
\verseNumber{48}Doeth any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeue in him? 
\verseNumber{49}But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed. 
\verseNumber{50}Nicodemus said vnto them, (he that came to Iesus by night, and was one of them.) 
\verseNumber{51}Doth our Law iudge a man before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done? 
\verseNumber{52}They answered, and said vnto him, Art thou also of Galile? Searche and looke: for out of Galile ariseth no Prophet. 
\verseNumber{53}And euery man wet vnto his owne house.

\chapterNumber{8}And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues, 
\verseNumber{2}And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them. 
\verseNumber{3}Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes, 
\verseNumber{4}And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte. 
\verseNumber{5}Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore? 
\verseNumber{6}And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud. 
\verseNumber{7}And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her. 
\verseNumber{8}And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground. 
\verseNumber{9}And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids. 
\verseNumber{10}When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 
\verseNumber{11}She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more. 
\verseNumber{12}Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life. 
\verseNumber{13}The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true. 
\verseNumber{14}Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe. 
\verseNumber{15}Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man. 
\verseNumber{16}And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee. 
\verseNumber{17}And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true. 
\verseNumber{18}I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me. 
\verseNumber{19}Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also. 
\verseNumber{20}These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come. 
\verseNumber{21}Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come. 
\verseNumber{22}Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come? 
\verseNumber{23}And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde. 
\verseNumber{24}I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes. 
\verseNumber{25}Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning. 
\verseNumber{26}I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world. 
\verseNumber{27}They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father. 
\verseNumber{28}Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things. 
\verseNumber{29}For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him. 
\verseNumber{30}As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him. 
\verseNumber{31}Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples, 
\verseNumber{32}And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free. 
\verseNumber{33}They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free? 
\verseNumber{34}Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne. 
\verseNumber{35}And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. 
\verseNumber{36}If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede. 
\verseNumber{37}I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you. 
\verseNumber{38}I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father. 
\verseNumber{39}They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham. 
\verseNumber{40}But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham. 
\verseNumber{41}Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God. 
\verseNumber{42}Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me. 
\verseNumber{43}Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde. 
\verseNumber{44}Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 
\verseNumber{45}And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not. 
\verseNumber{46}Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me? 
\verseNumber{47}He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God. 
\verseNumber{48}Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil? 
\verseNumber{49}Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me. 
\verseNumber{50}And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth. 
\verseNumber{51}Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death. 
\verseNumber{52}Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. 
\verseNumber{53}Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe? 
\verseNumber{54}Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God. 
\verseNumber{55}Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde. 
\verseNumber{56}Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad. 
\verseNumber{57}Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham? 
\verseNumber{58}Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am. 
\verseNumber{59}Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{9}And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth. 
\verseNumber{2}And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde? 
\verseNumber{3}Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him. 
\verseNumber{4}I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke. 
\verseNumber{5}As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 
\verseNumber{6}Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay, 
\verseNumber{7}And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged? 
\verseNumber{9}Some said, This is he: and other sayd, He is like him: but he himselfe sayd, I am he. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore they sayd vnto him, Howe were thine eyes opened? 
\verseNumber{11}He answered, and sayd, The man that is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and sayde vnto me, Goe to the poole of Siloam and wash. So I went and washed, and receiued sight. 
\verseNumber{12}Then they sayd vnto him, Where is he? He sayd, I can not tell. 
\verseNumber{13}They brought to the Pharises him that was once blinde. 
\verseNumber{14}And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. 
\verseNumber{15}Then againe the Pharises also asked him, how he had receiued sight. And hee sayd vnto them, He layd clay vpon mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see. 
\verseNumber{16}Then said some of the Pharises, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others sayd, Howe can a man that is a sinner, doe such miracles? and there was a dissension among them. 
\verseNumber{17}Then spake they vnto the blinde againe, What sayest thou of him, because he hath opened thine eyes? And he sayd, He is a Prophet. 
\verseNumber{18}Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight. 
\verseNumber{19}And they asked them, saying, Is this your sonne, whom ye say was borne blinde? How doeth he nowe see then? 
\verseNumber{20}His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blinde: 
\verseNumber{21}But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe. 
\verseNumber{22}These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue. 
\verseNumber{23}Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him. 
\verseNumber{24}Then againe called they the man that had bene blinde, and sayd vnto him, Giue glory vnto God: we know that this man is a sinner. 
\verseNumber{25}Then he answered, and sayd, Whether hee be a sinner or no, I can not tell: one thing I know, that I was blinde, and nowe I see. 
\verseNumber{26}Then sayd they to him againe, What did he to thee? howe opened he thine eyes? 
\verseNumber{27}Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples? 
\verseNumber{28}Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples. 
\verseNumber{29}We know that God spake with Moses: but this man we know not from whence he is. 
\verseNumber{30}The man answered, and sayde vnto them, Doutlesse, this is a marueilous thing, that ye know not whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 
\verseNumber{31}Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he. 
\verseNumber{32}Since the world began, was it not heard, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blinde. 
\verseNumber{33}If this man were not of God, hee could haue done nothing. 
\verseNumber{34}They answered, and sayd vnto him, Thou art altogether borne in sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? so they cast him out. 
\verseNumber{35}Iesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he sayd vnto him, Doest thou beleeue in the Sonne of God? 
\verseNumber{36}He answered, and sayd, Who is he, Lord, that I might beleeue in him? 
\verseNumber{37}And Iesus sayd vnto him, Both thou hast seene him, and he it is that talketh with thee. 
\verseNumber{38}Then he sayd, Lord, I beleeue, and worshipped him. 
\verseNumber{39}And Iesus sayd, I am come vnto iudgement into this world, that they which see not, might see: and that they which see, might be made blinde. 
\verseNumber{40}And some of the Pharises which were with him, heard these things, and sayd vnto him, Are we blinde also? 
\verseNumber{41}Iesus sayd vnto them, If ye were blinde, ye should not haue sinne: but nowe ye say, We see: therefore your sinne remaineth.

\chapterNumber{10}Verely, verely I say vnto you, Hee that entreth not in by the doore into the sheepefolde, but climeth vp another way, he is a theefe and a robber. 
\verseNumber{2}But he that goeth in by the doore, is the shepheard of the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{3}To him the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out. 
\verseNumber{4}And when hee hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe follow him: for they know his voyce. 
\verseNumber{5}And they will not follow a stranger, but they flee from him: for they know not the voyce of strangers. 
\verseNumber{6}This parable spake Iesus vnto them: but they vnderstoode not what things they were which he spake vnto them. 
\verseNumber{7}Then sayd Iesus vnto them againe, Verely, verely I say vnto you, I am that doore of the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{8}All, that euer came before me, are theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did not heare them. 
\verseNumber{9}I am that doore: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saued, and shall go in, and go out, and finde pasture. 
\verseNumber{10}The theefe commeth not, but for to steale, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might haue life, and haue it in abundance. 
\verseNumber{11}I am that good shepheard: that good shepheard giueth his life for his sheepe. 
\verseNumber{12}But an hireling, and hee which is not the shepheard, neither the sheepe are his owne, seeth the wolfe comming, and hee leaueth the sheepe, and fleeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattreth the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{13}So the hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheepe. 
\verseNumber{14}I am that good shepheard, and knowe mine, and am knowen of mine. 
\verseNumber{15}As the Father knoweth me, so know I the Father: and I lay downe my life for my sheepe. 
\verseNumber{16}Other sheepe I haue also, which are not of this folde: them also must I bring, and they shall heare my voyce: and there shalbe one sheepefolde, and one shepheard. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore doeth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I might take it againe. 
\verseNumber{18}No man taketh it from me, but I lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe: this commandement haue I receiued of my Father. 
\verseNumber{19}Then there was a dissension againe among the Iewes for these sayings, 
\verseNumber{20}And many of them sayd, He hath a deuill, and is mad: why heare ye him? 
\verseNumber{21}Other sayd, These are not the wordes of him that hath a deuill: can the deuill open the eyes of the blinde? 
\verseNumber{22}And it was at Hierusalem the feast of the Dedication, and it was winter. 
\verseNumber{23}And Iesus walked in the Temple, in Salomons porche.

\verseNumber{25}Iesus answered them, I tolde you, and ye beleeue not: the workes that I doe in my Fathers Name, they beare witnes of me. 
\verseNumber{26}But ye beleeue not: for ye are not of my sheepe, as I sayd vnto you. 
\verseNumber{27}My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they follow me, 
\verseNumber{28}And I giue vnto them eternall life, and they shall neuer perish, neither shall any plucke them out of mine hand. 
\verseNumber{29}My Father which gaue them me, is greater then all, and none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand. 
\verseNumber{30}I and my Father are one. 
\verseNumber{31}Then ye Iewes againe tooke vp stones, to stone him. 
\verseNumber{32}Iesus answered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my Father: for which of these workes doe ye stone me? 
\verseNumber{33}The Iewes answered him, saying, For the good worke we stone thee not, but for blasphemie, and that thou being a man, makest thy selfe God. 
\verseNumber{34}Iesus answered them, Is it not written in your Lawe, I sayd, Ye are gods? 
\verseNumber{35}If hee called them gods, vnto whome the worde of God was giuen, and the Scripture cannot be broken, 
\verseNumber{36}Say ye of him, whome the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the worlde, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Sonne of God?

\chapterNumber{11}And a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania, the towne of Marie, and her sister Martha. 
\verseNumber{2}(And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her heare, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.) 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore his sisters sent vnto him, saying, Lord, beholde, he whome thou louest, is sicke. 
\verseNumber{4}When Iesus heard it, he saide, This sickenes is not vnto death, but for the glorie of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe Iesus loued Martha and her sister, and Lazarus. 
\verseNumber{6}And after he had heard that he was sicke, yet abode hee two dayes still in the same place where he was. 
\verseNumber{7}Then after that, said he to his disciples, Let vs goe into Iudea againe. 
\verseNumber{8}The disciples saide vnto him, Master, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and doest thou goe thither againe? 
\verseNumber{9}Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If a man walke in the day, hee stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. 
\verseNumber{10}But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him. 
\verseNumber{11}These things spake he, and after, he said vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth: but I goe to wake him vp. 
\verseNumber{12}Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shalbe safe. 
\verseNumber{13}Howbeit, Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of the naturall sleepe. 
\verseNumber{14}Then saide Iesus vnto them plainely, Lazarus is dead. 
\verseNumber{15}And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there, that ye may beleeue: but let vs go vnto him. 
\verseNumber{16}Then saide Thomas (which is called Didymus) vnto his felow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him. 
\verseNumber{17}Then came Iesus, and found that he had lien in the graue foure dayes alreadie. 
\verseNumber{18}(Nowe Bethania was neere vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off.) 
\verseNumber{19}And many of ye Iewes were come to Martha and Marie to comfort them for their brother. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Martha, when shee heard that Iesus was comming, went to meete him: but Mary sate still in the house. 
\verseNumber{21}Then said Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not bene dead. 
\verseNumber{22}But now I know also, that whatsoeuer thou askest of God, God will giue it thee. 
\verseNumber{23}Iesus said vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe. 
\verseNumber{24}Martha said vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day. 
\verseNumber{25}Iesus saide vnto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue. 
\verseNumber{26}And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in me, shall neuer die: Beleeuest thou this? 
\verseNumber{27}She said vnto him, Yea, Lord, I beleeue that thou art that Christ that Sonne of God, which should come into the world. 
\verseNumber{28}And when she had so saide, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 
\verseNumber{29}And when she heard it, shee arose quickly, and came vnto him. 
\verseNumber{30}For Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in the place where Martha met him. 
\verseNumber{31}The Iewes then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they sawe Marie, that she rose vp hastily, and went out, folowed her, saying, She goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there. 
\verseNumber{32}Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and sawe him, she fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou haddest bene here, my brother had not bene dead. 
\verseNumber{33}When Iesus therefore saw her weepe, and the Iewes also weepe which came with her, hee groned in the spirit, and was troubled in himselfe, 
\verseNumber{34}And saide, Where haue ye layde him? They said vnto him, Lord, come and see. 
\verseNumber{35}And Iesus wept. 
\verseNumber{36}Then saide the Iewes, Beholde, how he loued him. 
\verseNumber{37}And some of them saide, Coulde not he, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue made also, that this man should not haue died? 
\verseNumber{38}Iesus therefore againe groned in himselfe, and came to the graue. And it was a caue, and a stone was layde vpon it. 
\verseNumber{39}Iesus saide, Take ye away the stone. Martha the sister of him that was dead, said vnto him, Lord, he stinketh alreadie: for he hath bene dead foure dayes. 
\verseNumber{40}Iesus saide vnto her, Saide I not vnto thee, that if thou diddest beleeue, thou shouldest see the glorie of God? 
\verseNumber{41}Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was layde. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and saide, Father, I thanke thee, because thou hast heard me. 
\verseNumber{42}I knowe that thou hearest me alwayes, but because of the people that stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue, that thou hast sent me. 
\verseNumber{43}As hee had spoken these things, hee cried with a loude voyce, Lazarus, come foorth. 
\verseNumber{44}Then he that was dead, came forth, bound hande and foote with bandes, and his face was bound with a napkin. Iesus said vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe. 
\verseNumber{45}Then many of the Iewes, which came to Mary, and had seene the thinges, which Iesus did, beleeued in him. 
\verseNumber{46}But some of them went their way to the Pharises, and told them what things Iesus had done. 
\verseNumber{47}Then gathered the hie Priests, and the Pharises a councill, and said, What shall we doe? For this man doeth many miracles. 
\verseNumber{48}If we let him thus alone, all men will beleeue in him, and the Romanes will come and take away both our place, and the nation. 
\verseNumber{49}Then one of them named Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yere, said vnto them, Ye perceiue nothing at all, 
\verseNumber{50}Nor yet doe you consider that it is expedient for vs, that one man die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 
\verseNumber{51}This spake hee not of himselfe: but being hie Priest that same yere, he prophecied that Iesus should die for that nation: 
\verseNumber{52}And not for that nation onely, but that he shoulde gather together in one the children of God, which were scattered. 
\verseNumber{53}Then from that day foorth they consulted together, to put him to death. 
\verseNumber{54}Iesus therefore walked no more openly among the Iewes, but went thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernes, into a citie called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. 
\verseNumber{55}And the Iewes Passeouer was at hande, and many went out of the countrey vp to Hierusalem before the Passeouer, to purifie themselues. 
\verseNumber{56}Then sought they for Iesus, and spake among themselues, as they stoode in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he cometh not to the feast? 
\verseNumber{57}Now both the high Priestes and the Pharises had giuen a commandement, that if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.

\chapterNumber{12}Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passeouer, came to Bethania, where Lazarus was, who died, whom he had raised from the dead. 
\verseNumber{2}There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him. 
\verseNumber{3}Then tooke Mary a pound of oyntment of Spikenarde very costly, and anoynted Iesus feete, and wiped his feete with her heare, and the house was filled with the sauour of the oyntment. 
\verseNumber{4}Then said one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which should betray him: 
\verseNumber{5}Why was not this oyntment sold for three hundreth pence, and giuen to the poore? 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe he said this, not that he cared for the poore, but because hee was a theefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was giuen. 
\verseNumber{7}Then said Iesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying she kept it. 
\verseNumber{8}For the poore alwayes yee haue with you, but me ye shall not haue alwayes. 
\verseNumber{9}Then much people of the Iewes knewe that hee was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whome he had raysed from the dead. 
\verseNumber{10}The hie Priestes therefore consulted, that they might put Lazarus to death also, 
\verseNumber{11}Because that for his sake many of the Iewes went away, and beleeued in Iesus. 
\verseNumber{12}On the morowe a great multitude that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus should come to Hierusalem, 
\verseNumber{13}Tooke branches of palme trees, and went foorth to meete him, and cried, Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that commeth in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{14}And Iesus found a yong asse, and sate thereon, as it is written, 
\verseNumber{15}Feare not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King commeth sitting on an asses colte. 
\verseNumber{16}But his disciples vnderstoode not these thinges at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remembred they, that these thinges were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him. 
\verseNumber{17}The people therefore that was with him, bare witnesse that hee called Lazarus out of the graue, and raised him from the dead. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore mette him the people also, because they heard that he had done this miracle. 
\verseNumber{19}And the Pharises said among themselues, Perceiue ye howe ye preuaile nothing? Beholde, the worlde goeth after him. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe there were certaine Greekes among them that came vp to worship at the feast. 
\verseNumber{21}And they came to Philippe, which was of Bethsaida in Galile, and desired him, saying, Syr, we would see that Iesus. 
\verseNumber{22}Philippe came and tolde Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philippe tolde Iesus. 
\verseNumber{23}And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man must bee glorified. 
\verseNumber{24}Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except the wheate corne fall into the grounde and die, it bideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth foorth much fruite. 
\verseNumber{25}He that loueth his life, shall lose it, and he that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall. 
\verseNumber{26}If any man serue me, let him follow me: for where I am, there shall also my seruant be: and if any man serue me, him will my Father honour. 
\verseNumber{27}Now is my soule troubled: and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre: but therefore came I vnto this houre. 
\verseNumber{28}Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voyce from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and will glorifie it againe. 
\verseNumber{29}Then saide the people that stoode by, and heard, that it was a thunder: other said, An Angel spake to him. 
\verseNumber{30}Iesus answered, and said, This voyce came not because of me, but for your sakes. 
\verseNumber{31}Now is the iudgement of this world: nowe shall the prince of this world be cast out. 
\verseNumber{32}And I, if I were lift vp from the earth, will drawe all men vnto me. 
\verseNumber{33}Nowe this sayd he, signifying what death he should die. 
\verseNumber{34}The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that that Christ bideth for euer: and howe sayest thou, that that Sonne of man must be lift vp? Who is that Sonne of man? 
\verseNumber{35}Then Iesus sayd vnto them, Yet a litle while is the light with you: walke while ye haue that light, lest the darkenes come vpon you: for hee that walketh in the darke, knoweth not whither he goeth. 
\verseNumber{36}While ye haue that light, beleeue in that light, that ye may be the children of the light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and hid himselfe from them. 
\verseNumber{37}And though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleeued they not on him, 
\verseNumber{38}That the saying of Esaias the Prophete might be fulfilled, that he sayd, Lord, who beleeued our report? and to whome is the arme of the Lord reueiled? 
\verseNumber{39}Therefore could they not beleeue, because that Esaias saith againe, 
\verseNumber{40}He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them. 
\verseNumber{41}These things sayd Esaias when he sawe his glory, and spake of him. 
\verseNumber{42}Neuertheles, euen among the chiefe rulers, many beleeued in him: but because of the Pharises they did not confesse him, least they should be cast out of the Synagogue. 
\verseNumber{43}For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God. 
\verseNumber{44}And Iesus cryed, and sayd, He that beleeueth in me, beleeueth not in me, but in him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{45}And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{46}I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth in me, should not abide in darkenes. 
\verseNumber{47}And if any man heare my wordes, and beleeue not, I iudge him not: for I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world. 
\verseNumber{48}He that refuseth me, and receiueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: the worde that I haue spoken, it shall iudge him in the last day. 
\verseNumber{49}For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the Father which sent me, hee gaue me a commandement what I should say, and what I should speake. 
\verseNumber{50}And I knowe that his commandement is life euerlasting: the thinges therefore that I speake, I speake them so as the Father sayde vnto me.

\chapterNumber{13}Nowe before the feast of the Passeouer, when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that he should depart out of this world vnto the Father, forasmuch as he loued his owne which were in the world, vnto the end he loued them. 
\verseNumber{2}And when supper was done (and that the deuill had now put in the heart of Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, to betray him) 
\verseNumber{3}Iesus knowing that the Father had giuen all things into his hands, and that he was come forth from God, and went to God, 
\verseNumber{4}He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his vpper garments, and tooke a towel, and girded himselfe. 
\verseNumber{5}After that, hee powred water into a basen, and began to wash the disciples feete, and to wipe them with the towell, wherewith he was girded. 
\verseNumber{6}Then came he to Simon Peter, who sayd to him, Lord, doest thou wash my feete? 
\verseNumber{7}Iesus answered and sayd vnto him, What I doe, thou knowest not nowe: but thou shalt knowe it hereafter. 
\verseNumber{8}Peter said vnto him, Thou shalt neuer wash my feete. Iesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou shalt haue no part with me. 
\verseNumber{9}Simon Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, not my feete onely, but also the hands and the head. 
\verseNumber{10}Iesus sayd to him, He that is washed, needeth not, saue to wash his feete, but is cleane euery whit: and ye are cleane, but not all. 
\verseNumber{11}For hee knewe who should betray him: therefore sayd he, Ye are not all cleane. 
\verseNumber{12}So after he had washed their feete, and had taken his garments, and was set downe againe, he sayd vnto them, Knowe ye what I haue done to you? 
\verseNumber{13}Ye call me Master, and Lord, and ye say well: for so am I. 
\verseNumber{14}If I then your Lord, and Master, haue washed your feete, ye also ought to wash one an others feete. 
\verseNumber{15}For I haue giuen you an example, that ye should doe, euen as I haue done to you. 
\verseNumber{16}Verely, verely I say vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master, neither the ambassadour greater then he that sent him. 
\verseNumber{17}If ye know these things, blessed are ye, if ye doe them. 
\verseNumber{18}I speake not of you all: I know whom I haue chosen: but it is that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lift vp his heele against me. 
\verseNumber{19}From henceforth tell I you before it come, that when it is come to passe, ye might beleeue that I am he. 
\verseNumber{20}Verely, verely I say vnto you, If I send any, he that receiueth him, receiueth me, and hee that receiueth me, receiueth him that sent me. 
\verseNumber{21}When Iesus had sayd these things, he was troubled in the Spirit, and testified, and said, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that one of you shall betray me. 
\verseNumber{22}Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe there was one of his disciples, which leaned on Iesus bosome, whom Iesus loued. 
\verseNumber{24}To him beckened therefore Simon Peter, that he should aske who it was of whom he spake. 
\verseNumber{25}He then, as he leaned on Iesus breast, saide vnto him, Lord, who is it? 
\verseNumber{26}Iesus answered, He it is, to whome I shall giue a soppe, when I haue dipt it: and hee wet a soppe, and gaue it to Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne. 
\verseNumber{27}And after the soppe, Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him, That thou doest, doe quickly. 
\verseNumber{28}But none of them that were at table, knew, for what cause he spake it vnto him. 
\verseNumber{29}For some of them thought because Iudas had the bag, that Iesus had sayd vnto him, Buy those things that we haue neede of against ye feast: or that he should giue some thing to the poore. 
\verseNumber{30}Assoone then as he had receiued the soppe, he went immediately out, and it was night. 
\verseNumber{31}When hee was gone out, Iesus sayd, Nowe is the Sonne of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. 
\verseNumber{32}If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorifie him in himselfe, and shall straightway glorifie him. 
\verseNumber{33}Litle children, yet a litle while am I with you: ye shall seeke me, but as I sayde vnto the Iewes, Whither I goe, can ye not come: also to you say I nowe, 
\verseNumber{34}A newe commandement giue I vnto you, that ye loue one another: as I haue loued you, that ye also loue one another. 
\verseNumber{35}By this shall all men knowe that ye are my disciples, if ye haue loue one to another. 
\verseNumber{36}Simon Peter said vnto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Iesus answered him, Whither I goe, thou canst not follow me nowe: but thou shalt follow me afterward. 
\verseNumber{37}Peter sayd vnto him, Lord, why can I not follow thee now? I will lay downe my life for thy sake. 
\verseNumber{38}Iesus answered him, Wilt thou lay downe thy life for my sake? Verely, verely I say vnto thee, The cocke shall not crowe, till thou haue denied me thrise.

\verseNumber{3}And if I go to prepare a place for you, I wil come againe, and receiue you vnto my selfe, that where I am, there may ye be also. 
\verseNumber{4}And whither I go, ye know, and the way ye knowe. 
\verseNumber{5}Thomas sayd vnto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest: how can we then know ye way? 
\verseNumber{6}Iesus sayd vnto him, I am that Way, and that Trueth, and that Life. No man commeth vnto the Father, but by me. 
\verseNumber{7}If ye had knowen mee, ye should haue knowen my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and haue seene him. 
\verseNumber{8}Philippe sayd vnto him, Lord, shewe vs thy Father, and it sufficeth vs.

\verseNumber{10}Beleeuest thou not, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the workes. 
\verseNumber{11}Beleeue me, that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me: at the least, beleeue me for the very workes sake. 
\verseNumber{12}Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that beleeueth in me, the workes that I doe, hee shall doe also, and greater then these shall he doe: for I goe vnto my Father. 
\verseNumber{13}And whatsoeuer ye aske in my Name, that will I doe, that the Father may be glorified in the Sonne.

\verseNumber{20}At that day shall ye knowe that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 
\verseNumber{21}He that hath my commandements, and keepeth them, is he that loueth me: and he that loueth me, shall be loued of my Father: and I will loue him, and wil shewe mine owne selfe to him. 
\verseNumber{22}Iudas sayd vnto him (not Iscariot) Lord, what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs, and not vnto the world? 
\verseNumber{23}Iesus answered, and sayd vnto him, If any man loue me, he will keepe my worde, and my Father will loue him, and we wil come vnto him, and wil dwell with him. 
\verseNumber{24}He that loueth me not, keepeth not my wordes, and the worde which ye heare, is not mine, but the Fathers which sent me.

\verseNumber{26}But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father wil send in my Name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, which I haue tolde you. 
\verseNumber{27}Peace I leaue with you: my peace I giue vnto you: not as the worlde giueth, giue I vnto you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor feare. 
\verseNumber{28}Ye haue heard howe I saide vnto you, I goe away, and will come vnto you. If ye loued me, ye would verely reioyce, because I said, I goe vnto the Father: for the Father is greater then I.

\verseNumber{9}I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast giuen me: for they are thine. 
\verseNumber{10}And al mine are thine, and thine are mine, and I am glorified in them. 
\verseNumber{11}And nowe am I no more in the world, but these are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keepe them in thy Name, euen them whome thou hast giuen mee, that they may bee one, as we are. 
\verseNumber{12}While I was with them in the worlde, I kept them in thy Name: those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but the childe of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{13}And now come I to thee, and these things speake I in the worlde, that they might haue my ioy fulfilled in themselues. 
\verseNumber{14}I haue giuen them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 
\verseNumber{15}I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou keepe them from euill. 
\verseNumber{16}They are not of the worlde, as I am not of the world. 
\verseNumber{17}Sanctifie them with thy trueth: thy word is trueth. 
\verseNumber{18}As thou diddest send me into the world, so haue I sent them into the world. 
\verseNumber{19}And for their sakes sanctifie I my selfe, that they also may bee sanctified through the trueth. 
\verseNumber{20}I praie not for these alone, but for them also which shall beleeue in mee, through their woorde, 
\verseNumber{21}That they all may bee one, as thou, O Father, art in me, and I in thee: euen that they may be also one in vs, that the worlde may beleeue that thou hast sent me. 
\verseNumber{22}And the glory that thou gauest me, I haue giuen them, that they may be one, as we are one, 
\verseNumber{23}I in them, and thou in mee, that they may be made perfect in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me. 
\verseNumber{24}Father, I will that they which thou hast giuen me, be with me euen where I am, that they may beholde that my glorie, which thou hast giuen mee: for thou louedst me before the foundation of the world. 
\verseNumber{25}O righteous Father, the worlde also hath not knowen thee, but I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen, that thou hast sent me. 
\verseNumber{26}And I haue declared vnto the thy Name, and will declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them.

\chapterNumber{18}When Iesus had spoken these things, hee went foorth with his disciples ouer the brooke Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entred, and his disciples. 
\verseNumber{2}And Iudas which betraied him, knewe also the place: for Iesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples. 
\verseNumber{3}Iudas then, after hee had receiued a band of men and officers of the high Priests, and of the Pharises, came thither with lanternes and torches, and weapons. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Iesus, knowing all things that shoulde come vnto him, went foorth and said vnto them, Whom seeke yee? 
\verseNumber{5}They answered him, Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them, I am hee. Nowe Iudas also which betraied him, stoode with them. 
\verseNumber{6}Assoone then as hee had saide vnto them, I am hee, they went away backewardes, and fell to the grounde. 
\verseNumber{7}Then he asked them againe, Whome seeke yee? And they sayd, Iesus of Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{8}Iesus answered, I said vnto you, that I am he: therefore if ye seeke me, let these go their way. 
\verseNumber{9}This was that the worde might be fulfilled which hee spake, Of them which thou gauest me, haue I lost none. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Simon Peter hauing a sword, drewe it, and smote the hie Priests seruant, and cut off his right eare. Nowe the seruants name was Malchus. 
\verseNumber{11}Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter, Put vp thy sworde into the sheath: shall I not drinke of the cuppe which my Father hath giuen me? 
\verseNumber{12}Then the bande and the captaine, and the officers of the Iewes tooke Iesus, and bound him, 
\verseNumber{13}And led him away to Annas first (for he was father in lawe to Caiaphas, which was the hie Priest that same yeere) 
\verseNumber{14}And Caiaphas was he, that gaue counsel to the Iewes, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe Simon Peter folowed Iesus, and another disciple, and that disciple was knowen of the hie Priest: therefore he went in with Iesus into the hall of the hie Priest: 
\verseNumber{16}But Peter stood at the doore without. Then went out the other disciple which was knowen vnto the hie Priest, and spake to her that kept the doore, and brought in Peter. 
\verseNumber{17}Then saide the maide that kept the doore, vnto Peter, Art not thou also one of this mans disciples? He sayd, I am not. 
\verseNumber{18}And the seruants and officers stoode there, which had made a fire of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed themselues. And Peter also stood among them, and warmed himselfe. 
\verseNumber{19}(The hie Priest then asked Iesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 
\verseNumber{20}Iesus answered him, I spake openly to the world: I euer taught in the Synagogue and in the Temple, whither the Iewes resort continually, and in secret haue I sayde nothing. 
\verseNumber{21}Why askest thou mee? aske them which heard mee what I sayde vnto them: beholde, they knowe what I sayd. 
\verseNumber{22}When he had spoken these thinges, one of the officers which stoode by, smote Iesus with his rod, saying, Answerest thou the hie Priest so? 
\verseNumber{23}Iesus answered him, If I haue euill spoken, beare witnes of the euil: but if I haue well spoken, why smitest thou me? 
\verseNumber{24}Nowe Annas had sent him bound vnto Caiaphas the hie Priest) 
\verseNumber{25}And Simon Peter stoode and warmed himselfe, and they said vnto him, Art not thou also of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not. 
\verseNumber{26}One of the seruaunts of the hie Priest, his cousin whose eare Peter smote off, saide, Did not I see thee in the garden with him? 
\verseNumber{27}Peter then denied againe, and immediatly the cocke crewe. 
\verseNumber{28}Then led they Iesus from Caiaphas into the common hall. Nowe it was morning, and they themselues went not into the common hall, least they should be defiled, but that they might eate the Passeouer. 
\verseNumber{29}Pilate then went out vnto them, and said, What accusation bring yee against this man? 
\verseNumber{30}They answered, and saide vnto him, If hee were not an euill doer, we woulde not haue deliuered him vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{31}Then sayde Pilate vnto them, Take yee him, and iudge him after your owne Lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him, It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death. 
\verseNumber{32}It was that the worde of Iesus might be fulfilled which he spake, signifying what death he should die. 
\verseNumber{33}So Pilate entred into the common hall againe, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto him, Art thou the king of the Iewes? 
\verseNumber{34}Iesus answered him, Saiest thou that of thy selfe, or did other tell it thee of me? 
\verseNumber{35}Pilate answered, Am I a Iewe? Thine owne nation, and the hie Priestes haue deliuered thee vnto me. What hast thou done? 
\verseNumber{36}Iesus answered, My kingdome is not of this worlde: if my kingdome were of this worlde, my seruants would surely fight, that I should not be deliuered to the Iewes: but nowe is my kingdome not from hence. 
\verseNumber{37}Pilate then said vnto him, Art thou a King then? Iesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a King: for this cause am I borne, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should beare witnes vnto the trueth: euery one that is of the trueth, heareth my voyce. 
\verseNumber{38}Pilate said vnto him, What is trueth? And when he had saide that, hee went out againe vnto the Iewes, and said vnto them, I finde in him no cause at all. 
\verseNumber{39}But you haue a custome, that I shoulde deliuer you one loose at the Passeouer: will yee then that I loose vnto you the King of ye Iewes? 
\verseNumber{40}Then cried they all againe, saying, Not him, but Barabbas: nowe this Barabbas was a murtherer.

\chapterNumber{19}Then Pilate tooke Iesus and scourged him. 
\verseNumber{2}And the souldiers platted a crowne of thornes, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple garment, 
\verseNumber{3}And saide, Haile, King of the Iewes. And they smote him with their roddes. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Pilate went foorth againe, and said vnto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may knowe, that I finde no fault in him at all. 
\verseNumber{5}Then came Iesus foorth wearing a crowne of thornes, and a purple garment. And Pilate said vnto them, Beholde the man. 
\verseNumber{6}Then when the hie Priests and officers sawe him, they cried, saying, Crucifie, crucifie him. Pilate said vnto them, Take yee him and crucifie him: for I finde no fault in him. 
\verseNumber{7}The Iewes answered him, We haue a lawe, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himselfe the Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{8}When Pilate then heard that woorde, he was the more afraide, 
\verseNumber{9}And went againe into the common hall, and saide vnto Iesus, Whence art thou? But Iesus gaue him none answere. 
\verseNumber{10}Then saide Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to loose thee? 
\verseNumber{11}Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therefore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne. 
\verseNumber{12}From thence foorth Pilate sought to loose him, but the Iewes cried, saying, If thou deliuer him, thou art not Cesars friende: for whosoeuer maketh himselfe a King, speaketh against Cesar. 
\verseNumber{13}When Pilate heard this woorde, hee brought Iesus foorth, and sate downe in the iudgement seate in a place called the Pauement, and in Hebrewe, Gabbatha. 
\verseNumber{14}And it was the Preparation of the Passeouer, and about the sixt houre: and hee sayde vnto the Iewes, Beholde your King. 
\verseNumber{15}But they cried, Away with him, away with him, crucifie him. Pilate sayde vnto them, Shall I crucifie your King? The high Priestes answered, We haue no King but Cesar. 
\verseNumber{16}Then deliuered he him vnto them, to be crucified. And they tooke Iesus, and led him away. 
\verseNumber{17}And he bare his owne crosse, and came into a place named of dead mens Skulles, which is called in Hebrewe, Golgotha: 
\verseNumber{18}Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Iesus in the middes. 
\verseNumber{19}And Pilate wrote also a title, and put it on the crosse, and it was written, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWES. 
\verseNumber{20}This title then read many of the Iewes: for the place where Iesus was crucified, was neere to the citie: and it was written in Hebrewe, Greeke and Latine. 
\verseNumber{21}Then saide the hie Priests of the Iewes to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Iewes, but that he sayd, I am King of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{22}Pilate answered, What I haue written, I haue written. 
\verseNumber{23}Then the souldiers, when they had crucified Iesus, tooke his garments (and made foure partes, to euery souldier a part) and his coat: and the coat was without seame wouen from the toppe throughout. 
\verseNumber{24}Therefore they sayde one to another, Let vs not deuide it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be. This was that the Scripture might be fulfilled, which sayth, They parted my garments among them, and on my coate did cast lots. So the souldiers did these things in deede. 
\verseNumber{25}Then stoode by the crosse of Iesus his mother, and his mothers sister, Marie the wife of Cleopas, and Marie Magdalene. 
\verseNumber{26}And when Iesus sawe his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loued, he said vnto his mother, Woman, beholde thy sonne. 
\verseNumber{27}Then saide he to the disciple, Beholde thy mother: and from that houre, the disciple tooke her home vnto him. 
\verseNumber{28}After, when Iesus knew that all things were performed, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, I thirst. 
\verseNumber{29}And there was set a vessell full of vineger: and they filled a spondge with vineger: and put it about an Hyssope stalke, and put it to his mouth. 
\verseNumber{30}Nowe when Iesus had receiued of the vineger, he saide, It is finished, and bowed his head, and gaue vp the ghost. 
\verseNumber{31}The Iewes then (because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remaine vpon the crosse on the Sabbath day: for that Sabbath was an hie day) besought Pilate that their legges might be broken, and that they might be taken downe. 
\verseNumber{32}Then came the souldiers and brake the legges of the first, and of the other, which was crucified with Iesus. 
\verseNumber{33}But when they came to Iesus, and saw that he was dead alreadie, they brake not his legges. 
\verseNumber{34}But one of the souldiers with a speare pearced his side, and foorthwith came there out blood and water. 
\verseNumber{35}And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might beleeue it. 
\verseNumber{36}For these things were done, that the Scripture shoulde be fulfilled, Not a bone of him shalbe broken. 
\verseNumber{37}And againe an other Scripture saith, They shall see him whom they haue thrust through. 
\verseNumber{38}And after these things, Ioseph of Arimathea (who was a disciple of Iesus, but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pilate that he might take downe the bodie of Iesus. And Pilate gaue him licence. He came then and tooke Iesus body. 
\verseNumber{39}And there came also Nicodemus (which first came to Iesus by night) and brought of myrrhe and aloes mingled together about an hundreth pound. 
\verseNumber{40}Then tooke they the body of Iesus, and wrapped it in linnen clothes with the odours, as the maner of the Iewes is to burie. 
\verseNumber{41}And in that place where Iesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherein was neuer man yet laid. 
\verseNumber{42}There then laide they Iesus, because of the Iewes Preparation day, for the sepulchre was neere. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}Nowe the first day of the weeke came Marie Magdalene, early when it was yet darke, vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken away from the tombe. 
\verseNumber{2}Then she ranne, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Iesus loued, and saide vnto them, They haue taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we knowe not where they haue laid him. 
\verseNumber{3}Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came vnto the sepulchre. 
\verseNumber{4}So they ranne both together, but the other disciple did outrunne Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 
\verseNumber{5}And he stouped downe, and sawe the linnen clothes lying: yet went he not in. 
\verseNumber{6}Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and sawe the linnen clothes lye, 
\verseNumber{7}And the kerchiefe that was vpon his head, not lying with the linnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe. 
\verseNumber{8}Then went in also the other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he sawe it, and beleeued. 
\verseNumber{9}For as yet they knewe not the Scripture, That he must rise againe from the dead. 
\verseNumber{10}And the disciples went away againe vnto their owne home. 
\verseNumber{11}But Marie stoode without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre, 
\verseNumber{12}And sawe two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feete, where the body of Iesus had laien. 
\verseNumber{13}And they said vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said vnto them, They haue taken away my Lord, and I know not where they haue laide him. 
\verseNumber{14}When she had thus said, she turned her selfe backe, and sawe Iesus standing, and knewe not that it was Iesus. 
\verseNumber{15}Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She supposing that he had bene the gardener, said vnto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 
\verseNumber{16}Iesus saith vnto her, Marie. She turned her selfe, and said vnto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. 
\verseNumber{17}Iesus saith vnto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but goe to my brethren, and say vnto them, I ascend vnto my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and your God. 
\verseNumber{18}Marie Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seene the Lord, and that he had spoken these things vnto her. 
\verseNumber{19}The same day then at night, which was the first day of the weeke, and when the doores were shut where the disciples were assembled for feare of the Iewes, came Iesus and stoode in the middes, and saide to them, Peace be vnto you. 
\verseNumber{20}And when he had so saide, he shewed vnto them his handes, and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they had seene the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}Then saide Iesus to them againe, Peace be vnto you: as my Father sent me, so sende I you. 
\verseNumber{22}And when he had saide that, he breathed on them, and saide vnto them, Receiue the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{23}Whosoeuers sinnes ye remit, they are remitted vnto them: and whosoeuers sinnes ye reteine, they are reteined. 
\verseNumber{24}But Thomas one of the twelue, called Didymus, was not with them when Iesus came. 
\verseNumber{25}The other disciples therefore saide vnto him, We haue seene the Lord: but he said vnto them, Except I see in his handes the print of the nailes, and put my finger into the print of the nailes, and put mine hand into his side, I will not beleeue it. 
\verseNumber{26}And eight dayes after, againe his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus, when the doores were shut, and stood in the middes, and said, Peace be vnto you. 
\verseNumber{27}After saide he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see mine hands, and put forth thine hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithlesse, but faithfull. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Thomas answered, and said vnto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God. 
\verseNumber{29}Iesus said vnto him, Thomas, because thou hast seene me, thou beleeuest: blessed are they that haue not seene, and haue beleeued. 
\verseNumber{30}And many other signes also did Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this booke. 
\verseNumber{31}But these things are written, that ye might beleeue, that Iesus is that Christ that Sonne of God, and that in beleeuing ye might haue life through his Name. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}After these things, Iesus shewed himselfe againe to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias: and thus shewed he himselfe: 
\verseNumber{2}There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas, which is called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebedeus, and two other of his disciples. 
\verseNumber{3}Simon Peter said vnto them, I go a fishing. They said vnto him, We also will goe with thee. They went their way and entred into a ship straightway, and that night caught they nothing. 
\verseNumber{4}But when the morning was nowe come, Iesus stoode on the shore: neuerthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus. 
\verseNumber{5}Iesus then said vnto them, Syrs, haue ye any meate? They answered him, No. 
\verseNumber{6}Then he said vnto them, Cast out the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall finde. So they cast out, and they were not able at all to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore said the disciple whom Iesus loued, vnto Peter, It is the Lord. When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his coate to him (for he was naked) and cast himselfe into the sea. 
\verseNumber{8}But the other disciples came by shippe (for they were not farre from land, but about two hundreth cubites) and they drewe the net with fishes. 
\verseNumber{9}Assoone then as they were come to land, they sawe hoate coales, and fish laide thereon, and bread. 
\verseNumber{10}Iesus saide vnto them, Bring of the fishes, which ye haue nowe caught. 
\verseNumber{11}Simon Peter stepped foorth and drewe the net to land, full of great fishes, an hundreth, fiftie and three: and albeit there were so many, yet was not the net broken. 
\verseNumber{12}Iesus saide vnto them, Come, and dine. And none of the disciples durst aske him, Who art thou? seeing they knewe that he was the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}Iesus then came and tooke bread, and gaue them, and fish likewise. 
\verseNumber{14}This is now the third time that Iesus shewed himselfe to his disciples, after that he was risen againe from the dead. 
\verseNumber{15}So when they had dined, Iesus said to Simon Peter, Simon the sonne of Iona, louest thou me more then these? He said vnto him, Yea Lord, thou knowest that I loue thee. He said vnto him, Feede my lambes. 
\verseNumber{16}He said to him againe the second time, Simon the sonne of Iona, louest thou me? He said vnto him, Yea Lord, thou knowest that I loue thee. He said vnto him, Feede my sheepe. 
\verseNumber{17}He said vnto him the third time, Simon the sonne of Iona, louest thou me? Peter was sorie because he said to him the third time, Louest thou me? and said vnto him, Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I loue thee. Iesus saide vnto him, Feede my sheepe. 
\verseNumber{18}Verely, verely I say vnto thee, When thou wast yong, thou girdedst thy selfe, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be olde, thou shalt stretch foorth thine hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldest not. 
\verseNumber{19}And this spake he signifying by what death he shoulde glorifie God. And when he had said this, he said to him, Folowe me. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Peter turned about, and sawe the disciple whom JESUS loued, folowing, which had also leaned on his breast at supper, and had saide, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 
\verseNumber{21}When Peter therefore sawe him, he saide to Iesus, Lord, what shall this man doe? 
\verseNumber{22}Iesus said vnto him, If I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me. 
\verseNumber{23}Then went this worde abroade among the brethren, that this disciple shoulde not die. Yet Iesus saide not to him, He shall not die: but if I will that he tarie till I come, what is it to thee? 
\verseNumber{24}This is that disciple, which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things, and we know that his testimonie is true. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe there are also many other things which Iesus did, the which if they should be written euery one, I suppose the world coulde not conteine the bookes that shoulde be written, Amen.

\chapterNumber{1}I have made the former treatise, O Theophilus, of al that Jesus began to doe and teach, 
\verseNumber{2}Vntill the day that hee was taken vp, after that hee through the holy Ghost, had giuen commandements vnto the Apostles, whome hee had chosen: 
\verseNumber{3}To whome also he presented himselfe aliue after that he had suffered, by many infallible tokens, being seene of them by the space of fourtie daies, and speaking of those thinges which appertaine to the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{4}And when he had gathered them together, he commanded them, that they should not depart from Hierusalem, but to waite for the promise of the Father, which sayde hee, yee haue heard of me. 
\verseNumber{5}For Iohn in deede baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost within these fewe daies. 
\verseNumber{6}When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdome to Israel? 
\verseNumber{7}And hee saide vnto them, It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his owne power, 
\verseNumber{8}But yee shall receiue power of the holy Ghost, when he shall come on you: and ye shalbe witnesses vnto me both in Hierusalem and in all Iudea, and in Samaria, and vnto the vttermost part of the earth. 
\verseNumber{9}And when he had spoken these things, while they behelde, he was taken vp: for a cloude tooke him vp out of their sight. 
\verseNumber{10}And while they looked stedfastly towarde heauen, as hee went, beholde, two men stoode by them in white apparell, 
\verseNumber{11}Which also sayde, Yee men of Galile, why stande yee gasing into heauen? This Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen, shall so come, as yee haue seene him goe into heauen. 
\verseNumber{12}Then returned they vnto Hierusalem from the mount that is called the mount of Oliues, which is neere to Hierusalem, being from it a Sabbath daies iourney. 
\verseNumber{13}And when they were come in, they went vp into an vpper chamber, where abode both Peter and Iames, and Iohn, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartlemew, and Matthewe, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Iudas Iames brother. 
\verseNumber{14}These all continued with one accorde in prayer and supplication with the women, and Marie the mother of Iesus, and with his brethren. 
\verseNumber{15}And in those dayes Peter stoode vp in the middes of the disciples, and sayde (nowe the nomber of names that were in one place were about an hundreth and twentie.) 
\verseNumber{16}Yee men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue beene fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that tooke Iesus. 
\verseNumber{17}For hee was nombred with vs, and had obteined fellowship in this ministration. 
\verseNumber{18}He therefore hath purchased a field with the reward of iniquitie: and when he had throwen downe himselfe headlong, hee brast asunder in the middes, and all his bowels gushed out. 
\verseNumber{19}And it is knowen vnto all the inhabitants of Hierusalem, in so much, that that field is called in their owne language, Aceldama, That is, the field of blood. 
\verseNumber{20}For it is written in the booke of Psalmes, Let his habitation be void, and let no man dwel therein: also, Let another take his charge. 
\verseNumber{21}Wherefore of these men which haue companied with vs, all the time that the Lord Iesus was conuersant among vs, 
\verseNumber{22}Beginning from the baptisme of Iohn vnto the day that hee was taken vp from vs, must one of them bee made a witnesse with vs of his resurrection. 
\verseNumber{23}And they presented two, Ioseph called Barsabas, whose surname was Iustus, and Matthias. 
\verseNumber{24}And they praied, saying, Thou Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen, 
\verseNumber{25}That he may take the roume of this ministration and Apostleship, from which Iudas hath gone astray, to goe to his owne place.

\chapterNumber{2}And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were al with one accord in one place. 
\verseNumber{2}And suddenly there came a sounde from heauen, as of a russhing and mightie winde, and it filled all the house where they sate. 
\verseNumber{3}And there appeared vnto them clouen tongues, like fire, and it sate vpon eche of them. 
\verseNumber{4}And they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and began to speake with other tongues, as the Spirit gaue them vtterance. 
\verseNumber{5}And there were dwelling at Hierusalem Iewes, men that feared God, of euery nation vnder heauen. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe when this was noised, the multitude came together and were astonied, because that euery man heard them speake his owne language. 
\verseNumber{7}And they wondered al, and marueiled, saying among themselues, Beholde, are not all these which speake, of Galile? 
\verseNumber{8}How then heare we euery man our owne language, wherein we were borne? 
\verseNumber{9}Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and of Iudea, and of Cappadocia, of Pontus, and Asia, 
\verseNumber{10}And of Phrygia, and Pamphylia, of Egypt, and of the partes of Libya, which is beside Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, and Iewes, and Proselytes, 
\verseNumber{11}Creetes, and Arabians: wee hearde them speake in our owne tongues the wonderful works of God. 
\verseNumber{12}They were all then amased, and douted, saying one to another, What may this be? 
\verseNumber{13}And others mocked, and saide, They are full of newe wine. 
\verseNumber{14}But Peter standing with ye Eleuen, lift vp his voice, and said vnto them, Ye men of Iudea, and ye all that inhabite Hierusalem, be this knowen vnto you, and hearken vnto my woordes. 
\verseNumber{15}For these are not drunken, as yee suppose, since it is but the third houre of the day. 
\verseNumber{16}But this is that, which was spoken by the Prophet Ioel, 
\verseNumber{17}And it shalbe in the last daies, saith God, I wil powre out of my Spirite vpon al flesh, and your sonnes, and your daughters shall prophecie, and your yong men shall see visions, and your old men shall dreame dreames. 
\verseNumber{18}And on my seruauntes, and on mine handmaides I will powre out of my Spirite in those daies, and they shall prophecie. 
\verseNumber{19}And I wil shew wonders in heauen aboue, and tokens in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and the vapour of smoke. 
\verseNumber{20}The Sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come. 
\verseNumber{21}And it shalbe, that whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued. 
\verseNumber{22}Yee men of Israel, heare these woordes, JESUS of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you with great workes, and wonders, and signes, which God did by him in the middes of you, as yee your selues also knowe: 
\verseNumber{23}Him, I say, being deliuered by the determinate counsell, and foreknowledge of God, after you had taken, with wicked handes you haue crucified and slaine. 
\verseNumber{24}Whome God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorrowes of death, because it was vnpossible that he should be holden of it. 
\verseNumber{25}For Dauid sayeth concerning him, I beheld the Lord alwaies before me: for hee is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore did mine heart reioyce, and my tongue was glad, and moreouer also my flesh shall rest in hope, 
\verseNumber{27}Because thou wilt not leaue my soule in graue, neither wilt suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. 
\verseNumber{28}Thou hast shewed me the waies of life, and shalt make me full of ioy with thy countenance. 
\verseNumber{29}Men and brethren, I may boldly speake vnto you of the Patriarke Dauid, that hee is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre remaineth with vs vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{30}Therefore, seeing hee was a Prophet, and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him, that of the fruite of his loynes hee woulde raise vp Christ concerning the flesh, to set him vpon his throne, 
\verseNumber{31}Hee knowing this before, spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soule shoulde not bee left in graue, neither his flesh shoulde see corruption. 
\verseNumber{32}This Iesus hath God raised vp, whereof we all are witnesses. 
\verseNumber{33}Since then that he by the right hande of God hath bene exalted, and hath receiued of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, hee hath shed foorth this which yee nowe see and heare. 
\verseNumber{34}For Dauid is not ascended into heauen, but he sayth, The Lord sayd to my Lord, Sit at my right hande, 
\verseNumber{35}Vntill I make thine enemies thy footestoole. 
\verseNumber{36}Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a suretie, that God hath made him both Lord, and Christ, this Iesus, I say, whome yee haue crucified. 
\verseNumber{37}Now when they heard it, they were pricked in their heartes, and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we doe? 
\verseNumber{38}Then Peter said vnto them, Amend your liues, and bee baptized euery one of you in the Name of Iesus Christ for the remission of sinnes: and ye shall receiue the gift of the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{39}For the promise is made vnto you, and to your children, and to all that are a farre off, euen as many as the Lord our God shall call. 
\verseNumber{40}And with many other words he besought and exhorted them, saying, Saue your selues from this froward generation. 
\verseNumber{41}Then they that gladly receiued his word, were baptized: and the same day there were added to the Church about three thousand soules. 
\verseNumber{42}And they continued in the Apostles doctrine, and fellowship, and breaking of bread, and prayers. 
\verseNumber{43}And feare came vpon euery soule: and many wonders and signes were done by ye Apostles. 
\verseNumber{44}And all that beleeued, were in one place, and had all things common. 
\verseNumber{45}And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all me, as euery one had need. 
\verseNumber{46}And they continued dayly with one accord in the Temple, and breaking bread at home, did eate their meate together with gladnesse and singlenesse of heart, 
\verseNumber{47}Praysing God, and had fauour with all the people: and the Lord added to the Church from day to day, such as should be saued.

\chapterNumber{3}Nowe Peter and Iohn went vp together into the Temple, at the ninth houre of prayer. 
\verseNumber{2}And a certaine man which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, was caried, whom they layde dayly at the gate of the Temple called Beautifull, to aske almes of them that entred into ye Temple. 
\verseNumber{3}Who seeing Peter and Iohn, that they would enter into the Temple, desired to receiue an almes. 
\verseNumber{4}And Peter earnestly beholding him with Iohn, said, Looke on vs. 
\verseNumber{5}And hee gaue heede vnto them, trusting to receiue some thing of them. 
\verseNumber{6}Then said Peter, Siluer and gold haue I none, but such as I haue, that giue I thee: In the Name of Iesus Christ of Nazareth, rise vp and walke. 
\verseNumber{7}And hee tooke him by the right hand, and lift him vp, and immediately his feete and ankle bones receiued strength. 
\verseNumber{8}And he leaped vp, stoode, and walked, and entred with them into the Temple, walking and leaping, and praysing God. 
\verseNumber{9}And all the people sawe him walke, and praysing God. 
\verseNumber{10}And they knewe him, that it was he which sate for the almes at the Beautifull gate of the Temple: and they were amased, and sore astonied at that, which was come vnto him. 
\verseNumber{11}And as the creeple which was healed, held Peter and Iohn, all the people ranne amased vnto them in the porch which is called Salomons. 
\verseNumber{12}So when Peter saw it, he answered vnto the people, Ye me of Israel, why marueile ye at this? or why looke ye so stedfastly on vs, as though by our owne power or godlines, we had made this man go? 
\verseNumber{13}The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Iacob, the God of our fathers hath glorified his Sonne Iesus, whom ye betrayed, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had iudged him to be deliuered. 
\verseNumber{14}But ye denied the Holy one and the Iust, and desired a murtherer to be giuen you, 
\verseNumber{15}And killed the Lord of life, whome God hath raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. 
\verseNumber{16}And his Name hath made this man sound, whom ye see, and know, through faith in his Name: and the faith which is by him, hath giuen to him this perfite health of his whole body in the presence of you all. 
\verseNumber{17}And now brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your gouernours. 
\verseNumber{18}But those thinges which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{19}Amend your liues therefore, and turne, that your sinnes may be put away, whe the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}And he shall sende Iesus Christ, which before was preached vnto you, 
\verseNumber{21}Whome the heauen must containe vntill the time that all thinges be restored, which God had spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began. 
\verseNumber{22}For Moses said vnto the Fathers, The Lord your God shall raise vp vnto you a Prophet, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: ye shall heare him in all things, whatsoeuer he shall say vnto you. 
\verseNumber{23}For it shalbe that euery person which shall not heare that Prophet, shall be destroyed out of the people. 
\verseNumber{24}Also all the Prophets from Samuel, and thencefoorth as many as haue spoken, haue likewise foretolde of these dayes. 
\verseNumber{25}Ye are the children of the Prophets, and of the couenant, which God hath made vnto our fathers, saying to Abraham, Euen in thy seede shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. 
\verseNumber{26}First vnto you hath God raysed vp his Sonne Iesus, and him hee hath sent to blesse you, in turning euery one of you from your iniquities.

\chapterNumber{4}And as they spake vnto the people, the Priestes and the Captaine of the Temple, and the Sadduces came vpon them, 
\verseNumber{2}Taking it grieuously that they taught the people, and preached in Iesus Name the resurrection from the dead. 
\verseNumber{3}And they layde handes on them, and put them in holde, vntill the next day: for it was now euentide. 
\verseNumber{4}Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, beleeued, and the number of the men was about fiue thousand. 
\verseNumber{5}And it came to passe on the morow, that their rulers, and Elders, and Scribes, were gathered together at Hierusalem, 
\verseNumber{6}And Annas the chiefe Priest, and Caiaphas, and Iohn, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the hie Priestes. 
\verseNumber{7}And whe they had set them before them, they asked, By what power, or in what Name haue ye done this? 
\verseNumber{8}Then Peter ful of the holy Ghost, said vnto them, Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of Israel, 
\verseNumber{9}For as much as we this day are examined of the good deede done to the impotent man, to wit, by what meanes he is made whole, 
\verseNumber{10}Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye haue crucified, whome God raised againe from the dead, euen by him doth this man stand here before you, whole. 
\verseNumber{11}This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is become the head of the corner. 
\verseNumber{12}Neither is there saluation in any other: for among men there is giuen none other Name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued. 
\verseNumber{13}Now when they sawe the boldnes of Peter and Iohn, and vnderstoode that they were vnlearned men and without knowledge, they marueiled, and knew them, that they had bin with Iesus: 
\verseNumber{14}And beholding also the man which was healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it. 
\verseNumber{15}Then they commanded them to goe aside out of the Council, and conferred among themselues, 
\verseNumber{16}Saying, What shall we doe to these men? for surely a manifest signe is done by them, and it is openly knowen to all them that dwell in Hierusalem: and we cannot denie it. 
\verseNumber{17}But that it be noysed no farther among the people, let vs threaten and charge them, that they speake hencefoorth to no man in this Name. 
\verseNumber{18}So they called them, and commanded them, that in no wise they should speake or teach in the Name of Iesus. 
\verseNumber{19}But Peter and Iohn answered vnto them, and said, Whether it be right in the sight of God, to obey you rather then God, iudge ye. 
\verseNumber{20}For we cannot but speake the things which we haue seene and heard. 
\verseNumber{21}So they threatened them, and let them goe, and found nothing how to punish them, because of the people: for all men praised God for that which was done. 
\verseNumber{22}For the man was aboue fourtie yeeres olde, on whome this miracle of healing was shewed. 
\verseNumber{23}Then assoone as they were let goe, they came to their fellowes, and shewed all that the hie Priestes and Elders had said vnto them. 
\verseNumber{24}And when they heard it, they lift vp their voyces to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou art the God which hast made the heaue, and the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them, 
\verseNumber{25}Which by the mouth of thy seruant Dauid hast saide, Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people imagine vaine things? 
\verseNumber{26}The Kings of the earth assembled, and the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his Christ. 
\verseNumber{27}For doutlesse, against thine holy Sonne Iesus, whome thou haddest anoynted, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered themselues together, 
\verseNumber{28}To doe whatsoeuer thine hand, and thy counsell had determined before to be done. 
\verseNumber{29}And nowe, O Lord, beholde their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants with all boldnesse to speake thy word, 
\verseNumber{30}So that thou stretch forth thine hand, that healing, and signes, and wonders may be done by the Name of thine holy Sonne Iesus. 
\verseNumber{31}And when as they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God boldely. 
\verseNumber{32}And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: neither any of them said, that any thing of that which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all thinges common. 
\verseNumber{33}And with great power gaue the Apostles witnes of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus: and great grace was vpon them all. 
\verseNumber{34}Neither was there any among them, that lacked: for as many as were possessours of landes or houses, solde them, and brought the price of the things that were solde, 
\verseNumber{35}And layde it downe at the Apostles feete, and it was distributed vnto euery man, according as he had neede. 
\verseNumber{36}Also Ioses which was called of the Apostles, Barnabas (that is by interpretation the sonne of consolation) being a Leuite, and of the countrey of Cyprus, 
\verseNumber{37}Where as he had land, solde it, and brought the money, and laid it downe at the Apostles feete. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession, 
\verseNumber{2}And kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsell, and brought a certaine part, and layde it downe at the Apostles feete. 
\verseNumber{3}Then saide Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy Ghost, and keepe away part of the price of this possession? 
\verseNumber{4}Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God. 
\verseNumber{5}Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things. 
\verseNumber{6}And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him. 
\verseNumber{7}And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done. 
\verseNumber{8}And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie thee out. 
\verseNumber{10}Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and buried her by her husband. 
\verseNumber{11}And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things. 
\verseNumber{12}Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche. 
\verseNumber{13}And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them. 
\verseNumber{14}Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more) 
\verseNumber{15}In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some of them. 
\verseNumber{16}There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed. 
\verseNumber{17}Then the chiefe Priest rose vp, and all they that were with him (which was the sect of the Sadduces) and were full of indignation, 
\verseNumber{18}And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison. 
\verseNumber{19}But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd, 
\verseNumber{20}Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life. 
\verseNumber{21}So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought. 
\verseNumber{22}But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it, 
\verseNumber{23}Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within. 
\verseNumber{24}Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe. 
\verseNumber{25}Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people. 
\verseNumber{26}Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned) 
\verseNumber{27}And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them, 
\verseNumber{28}Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men. 
\verseNumber{30}The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree. 
\verseNumber{31}Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{32}And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him. 
\verseNumber{33}Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them. 
\verseNumber{34}Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space, 
\verseNumber{35}And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men. 
\verseNumber{36}For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 
\verseNumber{37}After this man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that obeyed him, were scattered abroad. 
\verseNumber{38}And nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought: 
\verseNumber{39}But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God. 
\verseNumber{40}And to him they agreed, and called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe. 
\verseNumber{41}So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name. 
\verseNumber{42}And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.

\chapterNumber{6}And in those dayes, as the nomber of ye disciples grewe, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians towards ye Hebrewes, because their widowes were neglected in the dayly ministring. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the twelue called the multitude of the disciples together, and sayd, It is not meete that we should leaue the worde of God to serue the tables. 
\verseNumber{3}Wherefore brethren, looke ye out among you seuen men of honest report, and full of the holy Ghost, and of wisedome, which we may appoint to this busines. 
\verseNumber{4}And we will giue our selues continually to prayer, and to the ministration of the worde. 
\verseNumber{5}And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Steuen a man full of fayth and of the holy Ghost, and Philippe, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a Proselyte of Antiochia, 
\verseNumber{6}Which they set before the Apostles: and they prayed, and layed their hands on them. 
\verseNumber{7}And the worde of God increased, and the nomber of the disciples was multipled in Hierusalem greatly, and a great company of the Priests were obedient to the faith. 
\verseNumber{8}Now Steuen full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. 
\verseNumber{9}Then there arose certaine of the Synagogue, which are called Libertines, and Cyrenians, and of Alexandria, and of them of Cilicia, and of Asia, and disputed with Steuen. 
\verseNumber{10}But they were not able to resist the wisdome, and the Spirit by the which he spake. 
\verseNumber{11}Then they suborned men, which saide, We haue heard him speake blasphemous wordes against Moses, and God. 
\verseNumber{12}Thus they mooued the people and the Elders, and the Scribes: and running vpon him, caught him, and brought him to the Councill, 
\verseNumber{13}And set forth false witnesses, which sayd, This man ceasseth not to speake blasphemous wordes against this holy place, and the Law. 
\verseNumber{14}For we haue heard him say, that this Iesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the ordinances, which Moses gaue vs.

\chapterNumber{7}Then sayd the chiefe Priest, Are these things so? 
\verseNumber{2}And he sayd, Ye men, brethren and Fathers, hearken. That God of glory appeared vnto our father Abraham, while he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 
\verseNumber{3}And said vnto him, Come out of thy countrey, and from thy kindred, and come into the land, which I shall shewe thee. 
\verseNumber{4}Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran. And after that his father was dead, God brought him from thence into this land, wherein ye now dwell, 
\verseNumber{5}And hee gaue him none inheritance in it, no, not the bredth of a foote: yet he promised that he would giue it to him for a possession, and to his seede after him, when as yet hee had no childe. 
\verseNumber{6}But God spake thus, that his seede should be a soiourner in a strange land: and that they should keepe it in bondage, and entreate it euill foure hundreth yeeres. 
\verseNumber{7}But the nation to whome they shall be in bondage, will I iudge, sayth God: and after that, they shall come forth and serue me in this place. 
\verseNumber{8}Hee gaue him also the couenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begate Isaac, and circumcised him the eight day: and Isaac begate Iacob, and Iacob the twelue Patriarkes. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Patriarkes moued with enuie, solde Ioseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 
\verseNumber{10}And deliuered him out of all his afflictions, and gaue him fauour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao King of Egypt, who made him gouernour ouer Egypt, and ouer his whole house. 
\verseNumber{11}Then came there a famine ouer all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction, that our fathers found no sustenance. 
\verseNumber{12}But when Iacob heard that there was corne in Egypt, he sent our fathers first: 
\verseNumber{13}And at the second time, Ioseph was knowen of his brethren, and Iosephs kindred was made knowen vnto Pharao. 
\verseNumber{14}Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought, and all his kindred, euen threescore and fifteene soules. 
\verseNumber{15}So Iacob went downe into Egypt, and he dyed, and our fathers, 
\verseNumber{16}And were remoued into Sychem, and were put in the sepulchre, that Abraham had bought for money of the sonnes of Emor, sonne of Sychem. 
\verseNumber{17}But when the time of the promise drewe neere, which God had sworne to Abraham, the people grewe and multiplied in Egypt, 
\verseNumber{18}Till another King arose, which knewe not Ioseph. 
\verseNumber{19}The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and euill entreated our fathers, and made them to cast out their yong children, that they should not remaine aliue. 
\verseNumber{20}The same time was Moses borne, and was acceptable vnto God, which was nourished vp in his fathers house three moneths. 
\verseNumber{21}And when he was cast out, Pharaohs daughter tooke him vp, and nourished him for her owne sonne. 
\verseNumber{22}And Moses was learned in all the wisdome of the Egyptians, and was mightie in wordes and in deedes. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe when he was full fourtie yeere olde, it came into his heart to visite his brethren, the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{24}And whe he saw one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and auenged his quarell that had the harme done to him, and smote the Egyptian. 
\verseNumber{25}For hee supposed his brethren would haue vnderstand, that God by his hande should giue them deliuerance: but they vnderstoode it not. 
\verseNumber{26}And the next day, he shewed himselfe vnto them as they stroue, and woulde haue set them at one againe, saying, Syrs, ye are brethren: why doe ye wrong one to another? 
\verseNumber{27}But he that did his neighbour wrong, thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a prince, and a iudge ouer vs? 
\verseNumber{28}Wilt thou kill mee, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday? 
\verseNumber{29}Then fled Moses at that saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begate two sonnes. 
\verseNumber{30}And when fourtie yeres were expired, there appeared to him in the wildernes of mout Sina, an Angel of the Lord in a flame of fire, in a bush. 
\verseNumber{31}And when Moses sawe it, hee wondred at the sight: and as he drew neere to consider it, the voyce of the Lord came vnto him, saying, 
\verseNumber{32}I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold it. 
\verseNumber{33}Then the Lord said to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feete: for the place where thou standest, is holy ground. 
\verseNumber{34}I haue seene, I haue seene the affliction of my people, which is in Egypt, and I haue heard their groning, and am come downe to deliuer them: and nowe come, and I will sende thee into Egypt. 
\verseNumber{35}This Moses whome they forsooke, saying, Who made thee a prince and a iudge? the same God sent for a prince, and a deliuerer by the hand of the Angel, which appeared to him in the bush. 
\verseNumber{36}Hee brought them out, doing wonders, and miracles in the land of Egypt, and in the red sea, and in the wildernes fourtie yeeres. 
\verseNumber{37}This is that Moses, which saide vnto the children of Israel, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you, euen of your brethren, like vnto me: him shall ye heare. 
\verseNumber{38}This is he that was in the Congregation, in the wildernes with the Angell, which spake to him in mount Sina, and with our fathers, who receiued the liuely oracles to giue vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{39}To whom our fathers would not obey, but refused, and in their hearts turned backe againe into Egypt: 
\verseNumber{40}Saying vnto Aaron, Make vs gods that may goe before vs: for we knowe not what is become of this Moses that brought vs out of the land of Egypt. 
\verseNumber{41}And they made a calfe in those dayes, and offered sacrifice vnto the idole, and reioyced in the workes of their owne handes. 
\verseNumber{42}Then God turned himselfe away, and gaue them vp to serue the host of heauen, as it is written in the booke of the Prophets, O house of Israel, haue ye offred to me slaine beasts and sacrifices by the space of fourtie yeres in the wildernes? 
\verseNumber{43}And ye tooke vp the tabernacle of Moloch, and the starre of your god Remphan, figures, which ye made to worship them: therefore I will carie you away beyond Babylon. 
\verseNumber{44}Our fathers had the tabernacle of witnes, in the wildernes, as hee had appointed, speaking vnto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seene. 
\verseNumber{45}Which tabernacle also our fathers receiued, and brought in with Iesus into the possession of the Gentiles, which God draue out before our fathers, vnto the dayes of Dauid: 
\verseNumber{46}Who found fauour before God, and desired that hee might finde a tabernacle for the God of Iacob. 
\verseNumber{47}But Salomon built him an house. 
\verseNumber{48}Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with handes, as saith the Prophet, 
\verseNumber{49}Heauen is my throne, and earth is my footestoole: what house wil ye build for me, saith the Lord? or what place is it that I should rest in? 
\verseNumber{50}Hath not mine hand made all these things? 
\verseNumber{51}Ye stiffenecked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares, ye haue alwayes resisted the holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you. 
\verseNumber{52}Which of the Prophets haue not your fathers persecuted? and they haue slaine them, which shewed before of the comming of that Iust, of whome ye are now the betrayers and murtherers, 
\verseNumber{53}Which haue receiued the Lawe by the ordinance of Angels, and haue not kept it. 
\verseNumber{54}But when they heard these thinges, their heartes brast for anger, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 
\verseNumber{55}But he being full of the holy Ghost, looked stedfastly into heauen, and sawe the glory of God, and Iesus standing at the right hand of God, 
\verseNumber{56}And said, Beholde, I see the heauens open, and the Sonne of man standing at the right hand of God. 
\verseNumber{57}Then they gaue a shoute with a loude voyce, and stopped their eares, and ranne vpon him violently all at once, 
\verseNumber{58}And cast him out of the citie, and stoned him: and the witnesses layd downe their clothes at a yong mans feete, named Saul. 
\verseNumber{59}And they stoned Steuen, who called on God, and said, Lord Iesus, receiue my spirit. 
\verseNumber{60}And he kneeled downe, and cried with a loude voyce, Lord, laye not this sinne to their charge. And when he had thus spoken, he slept.

\chapterNumber{8}And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of Samaria, except the Apostles. 
\verseNumber{2}Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him. 
\verseNumber{3}But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison. 
\verseNumber{4}Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde. 
\verseNumber{5}Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them. 
\verseNumber{6}And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 
\verseNumber{7}For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, were healed. 
\verseNumber{8}And there was great ioy in that citie. 
\verseNumber{9}And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man. 
\verseNumber{10}To whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God. 
\verseNumber{11}And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries. 
\verseNumber{12}But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done. 
\verseNumber{14}Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn. 
\verseNumber{15}Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{16}(For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.) 
\verseNumber{17}Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{18}And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money, 
\verseNumber{19}Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{20}Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with money. 
\verseNumber{21}Thou hast neither part nor fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God. 
\verseNumber{22}Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee. 
\verseNumber{23}For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{24}Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me. 
\verseNumber{25}So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes of the Samaritans. 
\verseNumber{26}Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste. 
\verseNumber{27}And hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship: 
\verseNumber{28}And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet. 
\verseNumber{29}Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet. 
\verseNumber{30}And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest? 
\verseNumber{31}And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him. 
\verseNumber{32}Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth. 
\verseNumber{33}In his humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. 
\verseNumber{34}Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man? 
\verseNumber{35}Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus. 
\verseNumber{36}And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized? 
\verseNumber{37}And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{38}Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him. 
\verseNumber{39}And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing. 
\verseNumber{40}But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.

\chapterNumber{9}And Saul yet breathing out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of ye Lord, went vnto the hie Priest, 
\verseNumber{2}And desired of him letters to Damascus to the Synagogues, that if he found any that were of that way (either men or women) hee might bring them bound vnto Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{3}Now as he iourneyed, it came to passe that as he was come neere to Damascus, suddenly there shined rounde about him a light from heauen. 
\verseNumber{4}And hee fell to the earth, and heard a voyce, saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 
\verseNumber{5}And he sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kicke against pricks. 
\verseNumber{6}He then both trembling and astonied, sayd, Lord, what wilt thou that I doe? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise and goe into the citie, and it shall be tolde thee what thou shalt doe. 
\verseNumber{7}The men also which iourneyed with him, stood amased, hearing his voyce, but seeing no man. 
\verseNumber{8}And Saul arose from the ground, and opened his eyes, but sawe no man. Then led they him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus, 
\verseNumber{9}Where he was three dayes without sight, and neither ate nor dranke. 
\verseNumber{10}And there was a certaine disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and to him sayd the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he sayd, Beholde, I am here Lord. 
\verseNumber{11}Then the Lord sayd vnto him, Arise, and goe into the streete which is called Straight, and seeke in the house of Iudas after one called Saul of Tarsus: for beholde, he prayeth. 
\verseNumber{12}(And he sawe in a vision a man named Ananias comming in to him, and putting his hands on him, that he might receiue his sight.) 
\verseNumber{13}Then Ananias answered, Lord, I haue heard by many of this man, howe much euill hee hath done to thy saints at Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{14}Moreouer here hee hath authoritie of the hie Priestes, to binde all that call on thy Name. 
\verseNumber{15}Then the Lord said vnto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me, to beare my Name before the Gentiles, and Kings, and the children of Israel. 
\verseNumber{16}For I will shewe him, howe many things he must suffer for my Names sake. 
\verseNumber{17}Then Ananias went his way, and entred into that house, and put his hands on him, and sayd, Brother Saul, the Lord hath sent me (euen Iesus that appeared vnto thee in the way as thou camest) that thou mightest receiue thy sight, and be filled with the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{18}And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had bene scales, and suddenly he receiued sight, and arose, and was baptized, 
\verseNumber{19}And receiued meate, and was strengthened. So was Saul certaine dayes with the disciples which were at Damascus. 
\verseNumber{20}And straightway hee preached Christ in the Synagogues, that he was that Sonne of God, 
\verseNumber{21}So that all that heard him, were amased, and sayde, Is not this hee, that made hauocke of them which called on this Name in Hierusalem, and came hither for that intent, that hee should bring them bound vnto the hie Priests? 
\verseNumber{22}But Saul encreased the more in strength, and confounded the Iewes which dwelt at Damascus, confirming, that this was that Christ. 
\verseNumber{23}And after that many dayes were fulfilled, the Iewes tooke counsell together, to kill him, 
\verseNumber{24}But their laying awayte was knowen of Saul: nowe they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him. 
\verseNumber{25}Then the disciples tooke him by night, and put him through the wall, and let him downe by a rope in a basket. 
\verseNumber{26}And when Saul was come to Hierusalem, he assayed to ioyne himselfe with the disciples: but they were all afrayd of him, and beleeued not that he was a disciple. 
\verseNumber{27}But Barnabas tooke him, and brought him to the Apostles, and declared to them, howe hee had seene the Lord in the way, and that hee had spoken vnto him, and how he had spoken boldly at Damascus in the Name of Iesus. 
\verseNumber{28}And hee was conuersant with them at Hierusalem, 
\verseNumber{29}And spake boldly in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and spake and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 
\verseNumber{30}But when the brethren knewe it, they brought him to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus. 
\verseNumber{31}Then had the Churches rest through all Iudea, and Galile, and Samaria, and were edified and walked in the feare of the Lord, and were multiplied by the comfort of the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{32}And it came to passe, as Peter walked throughout all quarters, hee came also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. 
\verseNumber{33}And there he found a certaine man named Aeneas, which had kept his couch eight yeeres, and was sicke of the palsie. 
\verseNumber{34}Then said Peter vnto him, Aeneas, Iesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise and trusse thy couch together. And he arose immediately. 
\verseNumber{35}And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, sawe him, and turned to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{36}There was also at Ioppa a certaine woman, a disciple named Tabitha (which by interpretation is called Dorcas) she was full of good workes and almes which she did. 
\verseNumber{37}And it came to passe in those dayes, that she was sicke and dyed: and when they had washed her, they layd her in an vpper chamber. 
\verseNumber{38}Now forasmuch as Lydda was neere to Ioppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent vnto him two men, desiring that he would not delay to come vnto them. 
\verseNumber{39}Then Peter arose and came with them: and when hee was come, they brought him into the vpper chamber, where all the widowes stoode by him weeping, and shewing the coates and garments, which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 
\verseNumber{40}But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled downe, and prayed, and turned him to the body, and sayd, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she sawe Peter, sate vp. 
\verseNumber{41}Then he gaue her the hand and lift her vp, and called the Saints and widowes, and restored her aliue.

\chapterNumber{10}Futhermore there was a certaine man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a captaine of the band called the Italian band, 
\verseNumber{2}A deuoute man, and one that feared God with all his housholde, which gaue much almes to the people, and prayed God continually. 
\verseNumber{3}He sawe in a vision euidently (about the ninth houre of the day) an Angel of God comming in to him, and saying vnto him, Cornelius. 
\verseNumber{4}But when hee looked on him, hee was afrayd, and sayd, What is it, Lord? and he sayd vnto him, Thy prayers and thine almes are come vp into remembrance before God. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe therefore send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter. 
\verseNumber{6}Hee lodgeth with one Simon a Tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to doe.

\verseNumber{8}And tolde them all things, and sent them to Ioppa. 
\verseNumber{9}On the morow as they went on their iourney, and drew neere vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixt houre. 
\verseNumber{10}Then waxed hee an hungred, and would haue eaten: but while they made some thing ready, he fell into a trance. 
\verseNumber{11}And hee sawe heauen opened, and a certaine vessell come downe vnto him, as it had bene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and was let downe to the earth. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherein were all maner of foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes and creeping things, and foules of the heauen. 
\verseNumber{13}And there came a voyce to him, Arise, Peter: kill, and eate. 
\verseNumber{14}But Peter sayd, Not so, Lord: for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is polluted, or vncleane. 
\verseNumber{15}And the voyce spake vnto him againe the second time, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not. 
\verseNumber{16}This was so done thrise: and the vessell was drawen vp againe into heauen. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe while Peter douted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, meant, beholde, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had inquired for Simons house, and stoode at the gate, 
\verseNumber{18}And called, and asked, whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 
\verseNumber{19}And while Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit sayde vnto him, Beholde, three men seeke thee. 
\verseNumber{20}Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, and doute nothing: For I haue sent them. 
\verseNumber{21}Then Peter went downe to the men, which were sent vnto him from Cornelius, and sayd, Beholde, I am he whome ye seeke: what is the cause wherefore ye are come? 
\verseNumber{22}And they sayd, Cornelius the captaine, a iust man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Iewes, was warned from heauen by an holy Angel, to send for thee into his house, and to heare thy wordes. 
\verseNumber{23}Then called he them in, and lodged them, and the next day, Peter went foorth with them, and certaine brethren from Ioppa accompanied him. 
\verseNumber{24}And the day after, they entred into Cesarea. Nowe Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsemen, and special friends. 
\verseNumber{25}And it came to passe as Peter came in, that Cornelius met him, and fell downe at his feete, and worshipped him. 
\verseNumber{26}But Peter tooke him vp, saying, Stand vp: for euen I my selfe am a man. 
\verseNumber{27}And as he talked with him, he came in, and found many that were come together. 
\verseNumber{28}And he sayd vnto them, Ye know that it is an vnlawfull thing for a man that is a Iewe, to company, or come vnto one of another nation: but God hath shewed me, that I should not call any man polluted, or vncleane. 
\verseNumber{29}Therefore came I vnto you without saying nay, when I was sent for. I aske therefore, for what intent haue ye sent for me? 
\verseNumber{30}Then Cornelius sayd, Foure dayes agoe, about this houre, I fasted, and at the ninth houre I prayed in mine house, and beholde, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 
\verseNumber{31}And sayd, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine almes are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 
\verseNumber{32}Send therefore to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter (he is lodged in the house of Simon a Tanner by the sea side) who when he commeth, shall speake vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{33}Then sent I for thee immediately, and thou hast well done to come. Nowe therefore are we all here present before God, to heare all things that are commanded thee of God. 
\verseNumber{34}Then Peter opened his mouth, and sayd, Of a trueth I perceiue, that God is no accepter of persons. 
\verseNumber{35}But in euery nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him. 
\verseNumber{36}Ye know the worde which God hath sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ, which is Lord of all: 
\verseNumber{37}Euen the worde which came through all Iudea, beginning in Galile, after the baptisme which Iohn preached. 
\verseNumber{38}To wit, howe God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him. 
\verseNumber{39}And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slewe, hanging him on a tree. 
\verseNumber{40}Him God raysed vp the third day, and caused that he was shewed openly: 
\verseNumber{41}Not to all the people, but vnto the witnesses chosen before of God, euen to vs which did eate and drinke with him, after he arose from the dead. 
\verseNumber{42}And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie, that it is he that is ordained of God a iudge of quicke and dead. 
\verseNumber{43}To him also giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name all that beleeue in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{44}While Peter yet spake these wordes, the holy Ghost fell on al them which heard the word. 
\verseNumber{45}So they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonied, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{46}For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter, 
\verseNumber{47}Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as we?

\verseNumber{3}Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them. 
\verseNumber{4}Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying, 
\verseNumber{5}I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me. 
\verseNumber{6}Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen. 
\verseNumber{7}Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate. 
\verseNumber{8}And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth. 
\verseNumber{9}But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not. 
\verseNumber{10}And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen. 
\verseNumber{11}Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house. 
\verseNumber{13}And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

\verseNumber{15}And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.

\verseNumber{17}For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God? 
\verseNumber{18}When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life. 
\verseNumber{19}And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely. 
\verseNumber{20}Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{21}And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia. 
\verseNumber{23}Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{24}For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.

\verseNumber{7}And behold the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raysed him vp, saying, Arise quickely. And his chaines fell off from his handes. 
\verseNumber{8}And the Angel saide vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales. And so he did. Then he said vnto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 
\verseNumber{9}So Peter came out and followed him, and knewe not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seene a vision. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe when they were past the first and the second watch, they came vnto the yron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them by it owne accord, and they went out, and passed through one streete, and by and by the Angel departed from him. 
\verseNumber{11}And when Peter was come to himselfe, he said, Nowe I know for a trueth, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath deliuered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the wayting for of the people of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{12}And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed. 
\verseNumber{13}And when Peter knocked at the entrie doore, a maide came foorth to hearken, named Rhode, 
\verseNumber{14}But when she knew Peters voyce, she opened not the entrie doore for gladnesse, but ranne in, and tolde howe Peter stood before the entrie. 
\verseNumber{15}But they said vnto her, Thou art mad. Yet she affirmed it constantly, that it was so. Then said they, It is his Angel. 
\verseNumber{16}But Peter continued knocking, and when they had opened it, and sawe him, they were astonied. 
\verseNumber{17}And he beckened vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he saide, Goe shewe these things vnto Iames and to the brethren: and he departed and went into an other place. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe assoone as it was day, there was no small trouble among the souldiers, what was become of Peter. 
\verseNumber{19}And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to be led to be punished. And he went downe from Iudea to Cesarea, and there abode. 
\verseNumber{20}Then Herod was angrie with them of Tyrus and Sidon, but they came all with one accord vnto him, and perswaded Blastus the Kings Chamberlaine, and they desired peace, because their countrey was nourished by the Kings land. 
\verseNumber{21}And vpon a day appointed, Herod arayed himselfe in royall apparell, and sate on the iudgement seate, and made an oration vnto them. 
\verseNumber{22}And the people gaue a shoute, saying, The voyce of God, and not of man. 
\verseNumber{23}But immediatly the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gaue not glorie vnto God, so that he was eaten of wormes, and gaue vp the ghost. 
\verseNumber{24}And the worde of God grewe, and multiplied. 
\verseNumber{25}So Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and tooke with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{13}There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul. 
\verseNumber{2}Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them. 
\verseNumber{3}Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe. 
\verseNumber{4}And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus. 
\verseNumber{5}And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister. 
\verseNumber{6}So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus, 
\verseNumber{7}Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God. 
\verseNumber{8}But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith. 
\verseNumber{9}Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 
\verseNumber{10}And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord? 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand. 
\verseNumber{12}Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{14}But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe. 
\verseNumber{15}And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on. 
\verseNumber{16}Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken. 
\verseNumber{17}The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof. 
\verseNumber{18}And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse. 
\verseNumber{19}And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot. 
\verseNumber{20}Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet. 
\verseNumber{21}So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres. 
\verseNumber{22}And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will. 
\verseNumber{23}Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus: 
\verseNumber{24}When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel. 
\verseNumber{25}And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose. 
\verseNumber{26}Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent. 
\verseNumber{27}For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him. 
\verseNumber{28}And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him. 
\verseNumber{29}And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre. 
\verseNumber{30}But God raised him vp from the dead. 
\verseNumber{31}And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people. 
\verseNumber{32}And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers, 
\verseNumber{33}God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee. 
\verseNumber{34}Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull. 
\verseNumber{35}Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption. 
\verseNumber{36}Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption. 
\verseNumber{37}But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption. 
\verseNumber{38}Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{39}And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified. 
\verseNumber{40}Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets, 
\verseNumber{41}Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you. 
\verseNumber{42}And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{43}Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God. 
\verseNumber{44}And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God. 
\verseNumber{45}But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them. 
\verseNumber{46}Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{47}For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world. 
\verseNumber{48}And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. 
\verseNumber{49}Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey. 
\verseNumber{50}But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes. 
\verseNumber{51}But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium. 
\verseNumber{52}And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{14}And it came to passe in Iconium, that they went both together into the Synagogue of the Iewes, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Iewes and of the Grecians beleeued. 
\verseNumber{2}And the vnbeleeuing Iewes stirred vp, and corrupted the mindes of the Gentiles against the brethren. 
\verseNumber{3}So therefore they abode there a long time, and spake boldly in the Lord, which gaue testimonie vnto the woord of his grace, and caused signes and woders to be done by their hands. 
\verseNumber{4}But the multitude of the city was deuided: and some were with the Iewes, and some with the Apostles. 
\verseNumber{5}And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and of the Iewes with their rulers, to doe them violence, and to stone them, 
\verseNumber{6}They were ware of it, and fled vnto Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and vnto the region round about, 
\verseNumber{7}And there preached the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe there sate a certaine man at Lystra, impotent in his feete, which was a creeple from his mothers wombe, who had neuer walked. 
\verseNumber{9}He heard Paul speake: who beholding him, and perceiuing that he had faith to be healed, 
\verseNumber{10}Said with a loude voyce, Stand vpright on thy feete. And he leaped vp, and walked. 
\verseNumber{11}Then when the people sawe what Paul had done, they lift vp their voyces, saying in ye speach of Lycaonia, Gods are come downe to vs in the likenesse of men. 
\verseNumber{12}And they called Barnabas, Iupiter: and Paul, Mercurius, because hee was the chiefe speaker. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Iupiters priest, which was before their citie, brought bulles with garlands vnto the gates, and would haue sacrificed with the people. 
\verseNumber{14}But when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul heard it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying, 
\verseNumber{15}And saying, O men, why doe yee these things? We are euen men subiect to the like passions that yee be, and preache vnto you, that yee shoulde turne from these vaine things vnto the liuing God, which made heauen and earth, and the sea, and all things that in them are: 
\verseNumber{16}Who in times past suffered all the Gentiles to walke in their owne waies. 
\verseNumber{17}Neuerthelesse, hee left not him selfe without witnes, in that hee did good and gaue vs raine from heauen, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with foode, and gladnesse. 
\verseNumber{18}And speaking these things, scarce appeased they the multitude, that they had not sacrificed vnto them. 
\verseNumber{19}Then there came certaine Iewes from Antiochia and Iconium, which when they had persuaded the people, stoned Paul, and drewe him out of the citie, supposing he had bene dead. 
\verseNumber{20}Howbeit, as the disciples stoode rounde about him, hee arose vp, and came into the citie, and the next day hee departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 
\verseNumber{21}And after they had preached the glad tidings of the Gospel to that citie, and had taught many, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antiochia, 
\verseNumber{22}Confirming the disciples hearts, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, affirming that we must through many afflictions enter into the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{23}And when they had ordeined them Elders by election in euery Church, and prayed, and fasted, they commended them to the Lord in whome they beleeued. 
\verseNumber{24}Thus they went throughout Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia. 
\verseNumber{25}And when they had preached the woorde in Perga, they came downe to Attalia, 
\verseNumber{26}And thence sailed to Antiochia, from whence they had bene comended vnto the grace of God, to the woorke, which they had fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{27}And when they were come and had gathered the Church together, they rehearsed all the things that God had done by them, and howe he had opened the doore of faith vnto the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{28}So there they abode a long time with the disciples. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{15}Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued. 
\verseNumber{2}And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question. 
\verseNumber{3}Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren. 
\verseNumber{4}And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them. 
\verseNumber{5}But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses. 
\verseNumber{6}Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter. 
\verseNumber{7}And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue. 
\verseNumber{8}And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{9}And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare? 
\verseNumber{11}But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe. 
\verseNumber{12}Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them. 
\verseNumber{13}And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me. 
\verseNumber{14}Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name. 
\verseNumber{15}And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written, 
\verseNumber{16}After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp, 
\verseNumber{17}That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things. 
\verseNumber{18}From the beginning of the worlde, God knoweth all his workes. 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God, 
\verseNumber{20}But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood. 
\verseNumber{21}For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day. 
\verseNumber{22}Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren, 
\verseNumber{23}And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting. 
\verseNumber{24}Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement, 
\verseNumber{25}It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul, 
\verseNumber{26}Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{27}We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth. 
\verseNumber{28}For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things, 
\verseNumber{29}That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well. 
\verseNumber{30}Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle. 
\verseNumber{31}And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation. 
\verseNumber{32}And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them. 
\verseNumber{33}And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles. 
\verseNumber{34}Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still. 
\verseNumber{35}Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{36}But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe. 
\verseNumber{37}And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke. 
\verseNumber{38}But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke. 
\verseNumber{39}Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus. 
\verseNumber{40}And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God. 
\verseNumber{41}And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{16}Then came he to Derbe and to Lystra: and beholde, a certaine disciple was there named Timotheus, a womans sonne, which was a Iewesse and beleeued, but his father was a Grecian, 
\verseNumber{2}Of whom the brethren which were at Lystra and Iconium, reported well. 
\verseNumber{3}Therefore Paul would that he should go forth with him, and tooke and circumcised him, because of ye Iewes, which were in those quarters: for they knewe all, that his father was a Grecian. 
\verseNumber{4}And as they went through the cities, they deliuered them the decrees to keepe, ordeined of the Apostles and Elders, which were at Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{5}And so were the Churches stablished in the faith, and encreased in number daily. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe when they had gone throughout Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden of the holy Ghost to preache the worde in Asia. 
\verseNumber{7}Then came they to Mysia, and sought to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore they passed through Mysia, and came downe to Troas, 
\verseNumber{9}Where a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stoode a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come into Macedonia, and helpe vs. 
\verseNumber{10}And after he had seene the vision, immediatly we prepared to goe into Macedonia, being assured that the Lord had called vs to preache the Gospel vnto them. 
\verseNumber{11}Then went we forth from Troas, and with a straight course came to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis, 
\verseNumber{12}And from thence to Philippi, which is the chiefe citie in ye partes of Macedonia, and whose inhabitants came from Rome to dwell there, and we were in that citie abiding certaine dayes. 
\verseNumber{13}And on the Sabbath day, we went out of the citie, besides a Riuer, where they were wont to pray: and we sate downe, and spake vnto the women, which were come together. 
\verseNumber{14}And a certaine woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the citie of the Thyatirians, which worshipped God, heard vs: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended vnto the things, which Paul spake. 
\verseNumber{15}And when she was baptized, and her houshold, she besought vs, saying, If ye haue iudged me to be faithfull to ye Lord, come into mine house, and abide there: and she constrained vs. 
\verseNumber{16}And it came to passe that as we went to prayer, a certaine maide hauing a spirit of diuination, mette vs, which gate her masters much vantage with diuining. 
\verseNumber{17}She followed Paul and vs, and cryed, saying, These men are the seruants of the most high God, which shewe vnto you the way of saluation. 
\verseNumber{18}And this did she many dayes: but Paul being grieued, turned about, and said to the spirit, I commaund thee in the Name of Iesus Christ, that thou come out of her. And he came out the same houre. 
\verseNumber{19}Nowe when her masters sawe that the hope of their gaine was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drewe them into the market place vnto the Magistrates, 
\verseNumber{20}And brought them to the gouernours, saying, These men which are Iewes, trouble our citie, 
\verseNumber{21}And preache ordinances, which are not lawfull for vs to receiue, neither to obserue, seeing we are Romanes. 
\verseNumber{22}The people also rose vp together against them, and the gouernours rent their clothes, and commanded them to be beaten with roddes. 
\verseNumber{23}And when they had beaten them sore, they cast them into prison, commaunding the Iayler to keepe them surely. 
\verseNumber{24}Who hauing receiued such commandement, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feete fast in the stockes. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung Psalmes vnto God: and the prisoners heard them. 
\verseNumber{26}And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundation of the prison was shaken: and by and by all the doores opened, and euery mans bands were loosed. 
\verseNumber{27}Then the keeper of the prison waked out of his sleepe, and when he sawe the prison doores open, he drewe out his sword and would haue killed himselfe, supposing the prisoners had bin fled. 
\verseNumber{28}But Paul cryed with a loude voyce, saying, Doe thy selfe no harme: for we are all here. 
\verseNumber{29}Then he called for a light, and leaped in, and came trembling, and fell downe before Paul and Silas, 
\verseNumber{30}And brought them out, and said, Syrs, what must I doe to be saued? 
\verseNumber{31}And they saide, Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ, and thou shalt be saued, and thine houshold. 
\verseNumber{32}And they preached vnto him the worde of the Lord, and to all that were in the house. 
\verseNumber{33}Afterwarde he tooke them the same houre of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized with all that belonged vnto him, straigthway. 
\verseNumber{34}And when he had brought them into his house, he set meate before them, and reioyced that he with all his houshold beleeued in God. 
\verseNumber{35}And when it was day, the gouernours sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men goe. 
\verseNumber{36}Then the keeper of the prison tolde these woordes vnto Paul, saying, The gouerness haue sent to loose you: nowe therefore get you hence, and goe in peace. 
\verseNumber{37}Then sayde Paul vnto them, After that they haue beaten vs openly vncodemned, which are Romanes, they haue cast vs into prison, and nowe would they put vs out priuily? nay verely: but let them come and bring vs out. 
\verseNumber{38}And the sergeants tolde these woordes vnto the gouernours, who feared whe they heard that they were Romanes. 
\verseNumber{39}Then came they and praied them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the citie. 
\verseNumber{40}And they went out of the prison, and entred into the house of Lydia: and when they had seene the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.

\chapterNumber{17}Nowe as they passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a Synagogue of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{2}And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath daies disputed with them by the Scriptures, 
\verseNumber{3}Opening, and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered, and risen againe from the dead: and this is Iesus Christ, whom, said he, I preach to you. 
\verseNumber{4}And some of them beleeued, and ioyned in companie with Paul and Silas: also of the Grecians that feared God a great multitude, and of the chiefe women not a fewe. 
\verseNumber{5}But the Iewes which beleeued not, mooued with enuie, tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes, and whe they had assembled the multitude, they made a tumult in the citie, and made assault against the house of Iason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 
\verseNumber{6}But when they found them not, they drew Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heads of the citie, crying, These are they which haue subuerted the state of the world, and here they are, 
\verseNumber{7}Whom Iason hath receiued, and these all doe against the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another King, one Iesus. 
\verseNumber{8}Then they troubled the people, and the heads of the citie, when they heard these things. 
\verseNumber{9}Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe. 
\verseNumber{10}And the brethren immediatly sent away Paul and Silas by night vnto Berea, which when they were come thither, entred into ye Synagogue of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{11}These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe. 
\verseNumber{13}But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people. 
\verseNumber{14}But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. 
\verseNumber{15}And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed. 
\verseNumber{16}Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore he disputed in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with them that were religious, and in the market daily with whomesoeuer he met. 
\verseNumber{18}Then certaine Philosophers of the Epicures, and of the Stoickes, disputed with him, and some sayde, What will this babler say? Others sayde, He seemeth to be a setter forth of straunge gods (because hee preached vnto them Iesus, and the resurrection.) 
\verseNumber{19}And they tooke him, and brought him into Mars streete, saying, May we not know, what this newe doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 
\verseNumber{20}For thou bringest certaine strange thinges vnto our eares: we woulde knowe therefore, what these things meane. 
\verseNumber{21}For all the Athenians, and strangers which dwelt there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but either to tell, or to heare some newes. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Paul stoode in the mids of Mars streete, and sayde, Yee men of Athens, I perceiue that in all things yee are too superstitious. 
\verseNumber{23}For as I passed by, and behelde your deuotions, I founde an altar wherein was written, VNTO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him shewe I vnto you. 
\verseNumber{24}God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands, 
\verseNumber{25}Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things, 
\verseNumber{26}And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation, 
\verseNumber{27}That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs. 
\verseNumber{28}For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation. 
\verseNumber{29}Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man. 
\verseNumber{30}And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent, 
\verseNumber{31}Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead. 
\verseNumber{32}Now when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing. 
\verseNumber{33}And so Paul departed from among them. 
\verseNumber{34}Howbeit certaine men claue vnto Paul, and beleeued: among whome was also Denys Areopagita, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{18}After these thinges, Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinthus, 
\verseNumber{2}And found a certaine Iewe named Aquila, borne in Pontus, lately come from Italie, and his wife Priscilla (because that Claudius had commanded all Iewes to depart from Rome) and he came vnto them. 
\verseNumber{3}And because hee was of the same crafte, he abode with them and wrought (for their crafte was to make tentes.) 
\verseNumber{4}And he disputed in the Synagogue euery Sabbath day, and exhorted the Iewes, and the Grecians. 
\verseNumber{5}Now when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul, forced in spirit, testified to the Iewes that Iesus was the Christ. 
\verseNumber{6}And when they resisted and blasphemed, he shooke his raiment, and saide vnto them, Your blood be vpon your owne head: I am cleane: from henceforth will I goe vnto the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{7}So he departed thence, and entred into a certaine mans house, named Iustus, a worshipper of God, whose house ioyned hard to the Synagogue. 
\verseNumber{8}And Crispus the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, beleeued in the Lord with all his housholde: and many of the Corinthians hearing it, beleeued and were baptized. 
\verseNumber{9}Then saide the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Feare not, but speake, and holde not thy peace. 
\verseNumber{10}For I am with thee, and no man shall lay handes on thee to hurt thee: for I haue much people in this citie. 
\verseNumber{11}So he continued there a yeere and six moneths, and taught ye worde of God among them. 
\verseNumber{12}Now when Gallio was Deputie of Achaia, the Iewes arose with one accorde against Paul, and brought him to the iudgement seate, 
\verseNumber{13}Saying, This fellow persuadeth me to worship God otherwise then the Lawe appointeth. 
\verseNumber{14}And as Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio saide vnto the Iewes, If it were a matter of wrong, or an euill deede, O ye Iewes, I would according to reason maintaine you. 
\verseNumber{15}But if it bee a question of woordes, and names, and of your Lawe, looke yee to it your selues: for I will be no iudge of those things. 
\verseNumber{16}And hee draue them from the iudgement seate. 
\verseNumber{17}Then tooke al the Grecians Sosthenes the chiefe ruler of the Synagogue, and beat him before the iudgement seat: but Gallio cared nothing for those things. 
\verseNumber{18}But when Paul had taried there yet a good while, hee tooke leaue of the brethren, and sailed into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila) after that he had shorne his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vowe. 
\verseNumber{19}Then hee came to Ephesus, and left them there: but hee entred into the Synagogue and disputed with the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{20}Who desired him to tarie a longer time with them: but he would not consent, 
\verseNumber{21}But bade the farewel, saying, I must needes keepe this feast that commeth, in Hierusalem: but I will returne againe vnto you, if God will. So he sailed from Ephesus. 
\verseNumber{22}And when hee came downe to Cesarea, he went vp to Hierusalem: and when he had saluted the Church, he went downe vnto Antiochia. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe when he had taried there a while, he departed, and went thorowe the countrey of Galatia and Phrygia by order, strengthening all the disciples. 
\verseNumber{24}And a certaine Iewe named Apollos, borne at Alexandria, came to Ephesus, an eloquent man, and mightie in the Scriptures. 
\verseNumber{25}The same was instructed in the way of the Lord, and hee spake feruently in the Spirite, and taught diligently the things of the Lord, and knew but the baptisme of Iohn onely. 
\verseNumber{26}And he began to speake boldely in the Synagogue. Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they tooke him vnto them, and expounded vnto him the way of God more perfectly. 
\verseNumber{27}And when hee was minded to goe into Achaia, the brethren exhorting him, wrote to the disciples to receiue him: and after hee was come thither, he holpe them much which had beleeued through grace. 
\verseNumber{28}For mightily hee confuted publikely the Iewes, with great vehemencie, shewing by the Scriptures, that Iesus was that Christ. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{19}And it came to passe, while Apollos was at Corinthus, that Paul when he passed thorow the vpper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certaine disciples, 
\verseNumber{2}And saide vnto them, Haue ye receiued the holy Ghost since ye beleeued? And they saide vnto him, Wee haue not so much as heard whether there be an holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{3}And he said vnto them, Vnto what were ye then baptized? And they saide, Vnto Iohns baptisme. 
\verseNumber{4}Then saide Paul, Iohn verely baptized with the baptisme of repentance, saying vnto the people, that they shoulde beleeue in him, which should come after him, that is, in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{5}And when they heard it, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{6}So Paul layde his handes vpon them, and the holy Ghost came on them, and they spake the tongues, and prophecied. 
\verseNumber{7}And all the men were about twelue. 
\verseNumber{8}Moreouer he went into the Synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three moneths, disputing and exhorting to the things that appertaine to the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{9}But when certaine were hardened, and disobeyed, speaking euill of the way of God before the multitude, hee departed from them, and separated the disciples, and disputed dayly in the schoole of one Tyrannus. 
\verseNumber{10}And this was done by the space of two yeeres, so that all they which dwelt in Asia, heard the word of ye Lord Iesus, both Iewes and Grecians. 
\verseNumber{11}And God wrought no small miracles by the handes of Paul, 
\verseNumber{12}So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke, kerchefs or handkerchefs, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them. 
\verseNumber{13}Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke in hand to name ouer them which had euil spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus, whom Paul preacheth. 
\verseNumber{14}(And there were certaine sonnes of Sceua a Iewe, the Priest, about seuen which did this) 
\verseNumber{15}And the euil spirit answered, and said, Iesus I acknowledge, and Paul I know: but who are ye? 
\verseNumber{16}And the man in whome the euil spirit was, ranne on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fledde out of that house, naked, and wounded. 
\verseNumber{17}And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Grecians also, which dwelt at Ephesus, and feare came on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified, 
\verseNumber{18}And many that beleeued, came and confessed, and shewed their workes. 
\verseNumber{19}Many also of them which vsed curious artes, brought their bookes, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fiftie thousand pieces of siluer. 
\verseNumber{20}So the worde of God grewe mightily, and preuailed. 
\verseNumber{21}Nowe when these things were accomplished, Paul purposed by the Spirite to passe through Macedonia and Achaia, and to goe to Hierusalem, saying, After I haue bene there, I must also see Rome. 
\verseNumber{22}So sent hee into Macedonia two of them that ministred vnto him, Timotheus and Erastus, but he remained in Asia for a season. 
\verseNumber{23}And the same time there arose no small trouble about that way. 
\verseNumber{24}For a certaine man named Demetrius a siluersmith, which made siluer temples of Diana, brought great gaines vnto the craftesmen, 
\verseNumber{25}Whom he called together, with the workemen of like things, and saide, Syrs, ye knowe that by this craft we haue our goods: 
\verseNumber{26}Moreouer ye see and heare, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia this Paul hath perswaded, and turned away much people, saying, That they be not gods which are made with handes. 
\verseNumber{27}So that not onely this thing is dangerous vnto vs, that this our portion shall be reproued, but also that the temple of the great goddesse Diana should be nothing esteemed, and that it would come to passe that her magnificence, which all Asia and the world worshippeth, should be destroyed. 
\verseNumber{28}Now when they heard it, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 
\verseNumber{29}And the whole citie was full of confusion, and they rushed into the common place with one assent, and caught Gaius, and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, and Pauls companions of his iourney. 
\verseNumber{30}And when Paul would haue entred in vnto the people, the disciples suffred him not. 
\verseNumber{31}Certaine also of the chiefe of Asia which were his friendes, sent vnto him, desiring him that hee woulde not present him selfe in the Common place. 
\verseNumber{32}Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assemblie was out of order, and the more part knewe not wherefore they were come together. 
\verseNumber{33}And some of the company drew foorth Alexander, the Iewes thrusting him forwards. Alexander then beckened with the hande, and woulde haue excused the matter to the people. 
\verseNumber{34}But when they knew that he was a Iewe, there arose a shoute almost for the space of two houres, of all men crying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 
\verseNumber{35}Then the towne clearke when hee had stayed the people, saide, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is it that knoweth not howe that the citie of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddesse Diana, and of the image, which came downe from Iupiter? 
\verseNumber{36}Seeing then that no man can speake against these things, ye ought to be appeased, and to doe nothing rashly. 
\verseNumber{37}For yee haue brought hither these men, which haue neither committed sacrilege, neither doe blaspheme your goddesse. 
\verseNumber{38}Wherefore, if Demetrius and the craftes men which are with him, haue a matter against any man, the lawe is open, and there are Deputies: let them accuse one another. 
\verseNumber{39}But if ye inquire any thing cocerning other matters, it may be determined in a lawful assembly. 
\verseNumber{40}For we are euen in ieopardie to be accused of this dayes sedition, for as much as there is no cause, whereby we may giue a reason of this concourse of people. 
\verseNumber{41}And when he had thus spoken, hee let the assembly depart. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{20}Nowe after the tumult was appeased, Paul called the disciples vnto him, and embraced them, and departed to goe into Macedonia. 
\verseNumber{2}And when hee had gone through those parts, and had exhorted them with many words, he came into Grecia. 
\verseNumber{3}And hauing taried there three moneths, because the Iewes layde waite for him, as hee was about to saile into Syria, hee purposed to returne through Macedonia. 
\verseNumber{4}And there accompanied him into Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of them of Thessalonica, Aristarchus, and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of them of Asia, Tychicus, and Trophimus. 
\verseNumber{5}These went before, and taried vs at Troas. 
\verseNumber{6}And we sailed forth from Philippi, after the dayes of vnleauened bread, and came vnto them to Troas in fiue dayes, where we abode seuen dayes. 
\verseNumber{7}And the first day of the weeke, the disciples being come together to breake bread, Paul preached vnto them, ready to depart on the morrow, and continued the preaching vnto midnight. 
\verseNumber{8}And there were many lightes in an vpper chamber, where they were gathered together. 
\verseNumber{9}And there sate in a windowe a certaine yong man, named Eutychus, fallen into a dead sleepe: and as Paul was long preaching, hee ouercome with sleepe, fell downe from the thirde loft, and was taken vp dead. 
\verseNumber{10}But Paul went downe, and layde himselfe vpon him, and embraced him, saying, Trouble not your selues: for his life is in him. 
\verseNumber{11}Then when Paul was come vp againe, and had broken bread, and eaten, hauing spoken a long while till the dawning of the day, hee so departed. 
\verseNumber{12}And they brought the boye aliue, and they were not a litle comforted. 
\verseNumber{13}Then we went before to shippe, and sailed vnto the citie Assos, that wee might receiue Paul there: for so had hee appointed, and would himselfe goe afoote. 
\verseNumber{14}Now when he was come vnto vs to Assos, and we had receiued him, we came to Mitylenes. 
\verseNumber{15}And wee sailed thence, and came the next day ouer against Chios, and the next day we arriued at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium: the next day we came to Miletum. 
\verseNumber{16}For Paul had determined to saile by Ephesus, because hee woulde not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted to be, if hee could possible, at Hierusalem, at the day of Pentecost. 
\verseNumber{17}Wherefore from Miletum, hee sent to Ephesus, and called the Elders of the Church. 
\verseNumber{18}Who when they were come to him, hee said vnto them, Ye know from the first day that I came into Asia, after what maner I haue bene with you at all seasons, 
\verseNumber{19}Seruing the Lord with all modestie, and with many teares, and tentations, which came vnto me by the layings awaite of the Iewes, 
\verseNumber{20}And how I kept backe nothing that was profitable, but haue shewed you, and taught you openly and throughout euery house, 
\verseNumber{21}Witnessing both to the Iewes, and to the Grecians the repentance towarde God, and faith toward our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{22}And nowe beholde, I goe bound in the Spirit vnto Hierusalem, and know not what things shall come vnto me there, 
\verseNumber{23}Saue that ye holy Ghost witnesseth in euery citie, saying, that bondes and afflictions abide me. 
\verseNumber{24}But I passe not at all, neither is my life deare vnto my selfe, so that I may fulfill my course with ioye, and the ministration which I haue receiued of the Lord Iesus, to testifie the Gospell of the grace of God. 
\verseNumber{25}And now behold, I know that henceforth ye all, through whome I haue gone preaching the kingdome of God, shall see my face no more. 
\verseNumber{26}Wherefore I take you to recorde this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 
\verseNumber{27}For I haue kept nothing backe, but haue shewed you all the counsell of God. 
\verseNumber{28}Take heede therefore vnto your selues, and to all the flocke, whereof the holy Ghost hath made you Ouerseers, to feede the Church of God, which hee hath purchased with that his owne blood. 
\verseNumber{29}For I knowe this, that after my departing shall grieuous wolues enter in among you, not sparing the flocke. 
\verseNumber{30}Moreouer of your owne selues shall men arise speaking peruerse thinges, to drawe disciples after them. 
\verseNumber{31}Therefore watche, and remember, that by the space of three yeres I ceased not to warne euery one, both night and day with teares. 
\verseNumber{32}And nowe brethren, I commend you to God, and to the worde of his grace, which is able to build further, and to giue you an inheritance, among all them, which are sanctified. 
\verseNumber{33}I haue coueted no mans siluer, nor gold, nor apparell. 
\verseNumber{34}Yea, ye knowe, that these handes haue ministred vnto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 
\verseNumber{35}I haue shewed you all things, howe that so labouring, ye ought to support the weake, and to remember the wordes of the Lord Iesus, howe that hee saide, It is a blessed thing to giue, rather then to receiue. 
\verseNumber{36}And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled downe, and prayed with them all. 
\verseNumber{37}Then they wept all abundantly, and fell on Pauls necke, and kissed him, 
\verseNumber{38}Being chiefly sorie for the words which he spake, That they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him vnto the shippe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{21}And as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course vnto Coos, and the day following vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara. 
\verseNumber{2}And we found a ship that went ouer vnto Phenice, and went aboard, and set forth. 
\verseNumber{3}And whe we had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arriued at Tyrus: for there the ship vnladed ye burden. 
\verseNumber{4}And when we had found disciples, we taried there seuen dayes. And they told Paul through the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{5}But when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied vs with their wiues and children, euen out of the citie: and we kneeling downe on the shore, prayed. 
\verseNumber{6}Then when we had embraced one another, we tooke ship, and they returned home. 
\verseNumber{7}And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 
\verseNumber{8}And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him. 
\verseNumber{9}Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie. 
\verseNumber{10}And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus. 
\verseNumber{11}And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{12}And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{13}Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{14}So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 
\verseNumber{15}And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{16}There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge. 
\verseNumber{17}And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly. 
\verseNumber{18}And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled. 
\verseNumber{19}And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration. 
\verseNumber{20}So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law: 
\verseNumber{21}Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes. 
\verseNumber{22}What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come. 
\verseNumber{23}Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe, 
\verseNumber{24}Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{25}For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication. 
\verseNumber{26}Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them. 
\verseNumber{27}And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia (when they sawe him in the Temple) moued all the people, and laide hands on him, 
\verseNumber{28}Crying, Men of Israel, helpe: this is the man that teacheth all men euery where against the people, and the Lawe, and this place: moreouer, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 
\verseNumber{29}For they had seene before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the citie, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple. 
\verseNumber{30}Then all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul and drewe him out of the Temple, and forth with the doores were shut. 
\verseNumber{31}But as they went about to kill him, tydings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was on an vproare. 
\verseNumber{32}Who immediately tooke souldiers and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they sawe the chiefe Captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul. 
\verseNumber{33}Then the chiefe Captaine came neere and tooke him, and commanded him to be bound with two chaines, and demaunded who he was, and what he had done. 
\verseNumber{34}And one cryed this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certeintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castell. 
\verseNumber{35}And when hee came vnto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people. 
\verseNumber{36}For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him. 
\verseNumber{37}And as Paul should haue bene led into the castell, he sayd vnto the chiefe Captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who sayd, Canst thou speake Greeke? 
\verseNumber{38}Art not thou the Egyptian who before these dayes raised a sedition, and led out into the wildernesse foure thousande men that were murtherers? 
\verseNumber{39}Then Paul sayde, Doubtlesse, I am a man which am a Iewe, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous citie of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer mee to speake vnto the people. 
\verseNumber{40}And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stoode on the grieces, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made great silence, hee spake vnto them in the Hebrewe tongue, saying, 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{22}Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you. 
\verseNumber{2}(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd) 
\verseNumber{3}I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 
\verseNumber{4}And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women. 
\verseNumber{5}As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, and al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished. 
\verseNumber{6}And so it was, as I iourneyed and was come neere vnto Damascus about noone, that suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me. 
\verseNumber{7}So I fell vnto the earth, and heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee? 
\verseNumber{8}Then I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. 
\verseNumber{9}Moreouer they that were with me, sawe in deede a light and were afraide: but they heard not the voyce of him that spake vnto me. 
\verseNumber{10}Then I sayd, What shall I doe, Lord? And the Lord sayde vnto me, Arise, and goe into Damascus: and there it shall be tolde thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to doe. 
\verseNumber{11}So when I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus. 
\verseNumber{12}And one Ananias a godly man, as perteining to the Lawe, hauing good report of all the Iewes which dwelt there, 
\verseNumber{13}Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayd vnto me, Brother Saul, receiue thy sight: and that same houre I looked vpon him. 
\verseNumber{14}And he sayd, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee, that thou shouldest knowe his wil, and shouldest see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth. 
\verseNumber{15}For thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men, of the things which thou hast seene and heard. 
\verseNumber{16}Now therefore why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, in calling on the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{17}And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, and prayed in the Temple, I was in a traunce, 
\verseNumber{18}And saw him saying vnto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy witnes concerning me. 
\verseNumber{19}Then I sayd, Lord, they know that I prisoned, and beat in euery Synagogue them that beleeued in thee. 
\verseNumber{20}And when the blood of thy martyr Steuen was shed, I also stood by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the clothes of them that slew him. 
\verseNumber{21}Then he sayd vnto me, Depart: for I will send thee farre hence vnto the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{22}And they heard him vnto this worde, but then they lift vp their voyces, and sayd, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not meete that he should liue. 
\verseNumber{23}And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the aire, 
\verseNumber{24}The chiefe captaine commanded him to be led into the castle, and bade that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might knowe wherefore they cryed so on him. 
\verseNumber{25}And as they bound him with thongs, Paul sayd vnto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawfull for you to scourge one that is a Romane, and not condemned? 
\verseNumber{26}Nowe when the Centurion heard it, hee went, and tolde the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest: for this man is a Romane. 
\verseNumber{27}Then the chiefe captaine came, and sayd to him, Tel me, art thou a Romane? And he said, Yea. 
\verseNumber{28}And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obtained I this freedome. Then Paul sayd, But I was so borne. 
\verseNumber{29}Then straightway they departed from him, which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afrayd, after he knewe that hee was a Romane, and that he had bound him. 
\verseNumber{30}On the next day, because hee would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the hie Priests and all their Councill to come together: and he brought Paul, and set him before them. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{23}And Paul behelde earnestly the Councill, and sayde, Men and brethren, I haue in all good conscience serued God vntill this day. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the hie Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth. 
\verseNumber{3}Then sayd Paul to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall: for thou sittest to iudge me according to the Lawe, and transgressing the Lawe, commaundest thou me to be smitten? 
\verseNumber{4}And they that stood by, sayd, Reuilest thou Gods hie Priest? 
\verseNumber{5}Then sayd Paul, I knewe not, brethren, that he was the hie Priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speake euill of the ruler of thy people. 
\verseNumber{6}But when Paul perceiued that the one part were of the Sadduces, and the other of the Pharises, hee cried in the Council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharise, the sonne of a Pharise: I am accused of the hope and resurrection of the dead. 
\verseNumber{7}And when hee had saide this, there was a dissension betweene the Pharises and the Sadduces, so that the multitude was deuided. 
\verseNumber{8}For the Sadduces say that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharises confesse both. 
\verseNumber{9}Then there was a great crye: and the Scribes of the Pharises part rose vp, and stroue, saying, Wee finde none euill in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel hath spoken to him, let vs not fight against God. 
\verseNumber{10}And when there was a great dissension, the chiefe captaine, fearing lest Paul should haue bene pulled in pieces of them, commanded the souldiers to go downe, and take him from among them, and to bring him into the castel. 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe the night folowing, the Lord stoode by him, and saide, Be of good courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified of mee in Hierusalem, so must thou beare witnesse also at Rome. 
\verseNumber{12}And when the day was come, certaine of the Iewes made an assemblie, and bounde themselues with a curse, saying, that they woulde neither eate nor drinke, till they had killed Paul. 
\verseNumber{13}And they were more then fourtie, which had made this conspiracie. 
\verseNumber{14}And they came to the chiefe Priestes and Elders, and said, We haue bound our selues with a solemne curse, that wee will eate nothing, vntill we haue slaine Paul. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe therefore, ye and the Council signifie to the chiefe captaine, that hee bring him foorth vnto you to morow: as though you would know some thing more perfectly of him, and we, or euer he come neere, will be readie to kill him. 
\verseNumber{16}But when Pauls sisters sonne heard of their laying awaite, he went, and entred into the castel, and tolde Paul. 
\verseNumber{17}And Paul called one of the Centurions vnto him, and said, Take this yong man hence vnto the chiefe captaine: for he hath a certaine thing to shewe him. 
\verseNumber{18}So hee tooke him, and brought him to the chiefe captaine, and saide, Paul the prisoner called mee vnto him, and prayed mee to bring this yong man vnto thee, which hath some thing to say vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{19}Then the chiefe captaine tooke him by the hande, and went apart with him alone, and asked him, What hast thou to shewe me? 
\verseNumber{20}And he saide, The Iewes haue conspired to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring foorth Paul to morow into the Council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly: 
\verseNumber{21}But let them not perswade thee: for there lie in waite for him of them, more then fourtie men, which haue bound themselues with a curse, that they will neither eate nor drinke, till they haue killed him: and nowe are they readie, and waite for thy promise. 
\verseNumber{22}The chiefe captaine then let the yong man depart, after hee had charged him to vtter it to no man, that he had shewed him these things. 
\verseNumber{23}And he called vnto him two certaine Centurions, saying, Make readie two hundred souldiers, that they may go to Cæsarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and two hundred with dartes, at the thirde houre of the night. 
\verseNumber{24}And let them make readie an horse, that Paul being set on, may be brought safe vnto Felix the Gouernour. 
\verseNumber{25}And he wrote an epistle in this maner: 
\verseNumber{26}Claudius Lysias vnto the most noble Gouernour Felix sendeth greeting. 
\verseNumber{27}As this man was taken of the Iewes, and shoulde haue bene killed of them, I came vpon them with the garison, and rescued him, perceiuing that he was a Romane. 
\verseNumber{28}And when I would haue knowen the cause, wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their Council. 
\verseNumber{29}There I perceiued that hee was accused of questions of their Lawe, but had no crime worthy of death, or of bondes. 
\verseNumber{30}And when it was shewed me, how that the Iewes layd waite for the man, I sent him straightway to thee, and commanded his accusers to speake before thee the thinges that they had against him. Farewell. 
\verseNumber{31}Then the souldiers as it was commanded them, tooke Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. 
\verseNumber{32}And the next day, they left the horsemen to goe with him, and returned vnto the Castel. 
\verseNumber{33}Now when they came to Cæsarea, they deliuered the epistle to the Gouernour, and presented Paul also vnto him. 
\verseNumber{34}So when the Gouernour had read it, hee asked of what prouince he was: and when he vnderstoode that he was of Cilicia, 
\verseNumber{35}I will heare thee, said he, when thine accusers also are come, and commanded him to bee kept in Herods iudgement hall. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{24}Now after fiue dayes, Ananias the hie Priest came downe with the Elders, and with Tertullus a certaine oratour, which appeared before the Gouernour against Paul. 
\verseNumber{2}And when he was called foorth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that we haue obtained great quietnesse through thee, and that many worthy things are done vnto this nation through thy prouidence, 
\verseNumber{3}We acknowledge it wholy, and in all places most noble Felix, with all thankes, 
\verseNumber{4}But that I be not tedious vnto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest heare vs of thy courtesie a fewe wordes. 
\verseNumber{5}Certainely we haue found this man a pestilent fellowe, and a moouer of sedition among all the Iewes throughout the world, and a chiefe maintainer of the secte of the Nazarites: 
\verseNumber{6}And hath gone about to pollute the Temple: therefore wee tooke him, and woulde haue iudged him according to our Lawe: 
\verseNumber{7}But the chiefe captaine Lysias came vpon vs, and with great violence tooke him out of our handes, 
\verseNumber{8}Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest (if thou wilt inquire) know all these things whereof we accuse him. 
\verseNumber{9}And the Iewes likewise affirmed, saying that it was so. 
\verseNumber{10}Then Paul, after that the gouernour had beckened vnto him that hee shoulde speake, answered, I do the more gladly answere for my selfe, for as much as I knowe that thou hast bene of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation, 
\verseNumber{11}Seeing that thou mayest knowe, that there are but twelue dayes since I came vp to worship in Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{12}And they neither found mee in the Temple disputing with any man, neither making vproare among the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the citie. 
\verseNumber{13}Neither can they proue the things, whereof they now accuse me. 
\verseNumber{14}But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way (which they call heresie) so worship I the God of my fathers, beleeuing all things which are written in the Lawe and the Prophets, 
\verseNumber{15}And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead, which they themselues looke for also, shalbe both of iust and vniust. 
\verseNumber{16}And herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towarde God, and toward men. 
\verseNumber{17}Now after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation and offerings. 
\verseNumber{18}At what time, certaine Iewes of Asia founde mee purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. 
\verseNumber{19}Who ought to haue bene present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought against me. 
\verseNumber{20}Or let these themselues say, if they haue found any vniust thing in mee, while I stoode in the Council, 
\verseNumber{21}Except it be for this one voyce, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day. 
\verseNumber{22}Nowe when Felix heard these things, he deferred them, and said, When I shall more perfectly know the things which concerne this way, by the comming of Lysias the chiefe Captaine, I will decise your matter. 
\verseNumber{23}Then hee commanded a Centurion to keepe Paul, and that he should haue ease, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister vnto him, or to come vnto him. 
\verseNumber{24}And after certaine dayes, came Felix with his wife Drusilla, which was a Iewesse, and he called foorth Paul, and heard him of the faith in Christ. 
\verseNumber{25}And as he disputed of righteousnes and temperance, and of the iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, and when I haue conuenient time, I will call for thee. 
\verseNumber{26}Hee hoped also that money shoulde haue bene giuen him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore hee sent for him the oftner, and communed with him. 
\verseNumber{27}When two yeeres were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix roume: and Felix willing to get fauour of the Iewes, left Paul bound. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{25}When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{2}Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him, 
\verseNumber{3}And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way. 
\verseNumber{4}But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither. 
\verseNumber{5}Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him. 
\verseNumber{6}Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought. 
\verseNumber{7}And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe, 
\verseNumber{8}Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar. 
\verseNumber{9}Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee? 
\verseNumber{10}Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest. 
\verseNumber{11}For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar. 
\verseNumber{12}Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe. 
\verseNumber{13}And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus. 
\verseNumber{14}And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix, 
\verseNumber{15}Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him. 
\verseNumber{16}To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth. 
\verseNumber{18}Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed: 
\verseNumber{19}But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue. 
\verseNumber{20}And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things. 
\verseNumber{21}But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar. 
\verseNumber{22}Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him. 
\verseNumber{23}And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth. 
\verseNumber{24}And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer. 
\verseNumber{25}Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him. 
\verseNumber{26}Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write. 
\verseNumber{27}For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{26}Then Agrippa sayd vnto Paul, Thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himselfe. 
\verseNumber{2}I thinke my selfe happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answere this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{3}Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently. 
\verseNumber{4}As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes, 
\verseNumber{5}Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise. 
\verseNumber{6}And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers. 
\verseNumber{7}Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes. 
\verseNumber{8}Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead? 
\verseNumber{9}I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth. 
\verseNumber{10}Which thing I also did in Hierusalem: for many of the Saints I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie of the hie Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my sentence. 
\verseNumber{11}And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, euen vnto strange cities. 
\verseNumber{12}At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests, 
\verseNumber{13}At midday, O King, I sawe in the way a light from heauen, passing the brightnes of the sunne, shine round about mee, and them which went with me. 
\verseNumber{14}So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voyce speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against pricks. 
\verseNumber{15}Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest. 
\verseNumber{16}But rise and stand vp on thy feete: for I haue appeared vnto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witnesse, both of the things which thou hast seene, and of the things in the which I will appeare vnto thee, 
\verseNumber{17}Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee, 
\verseNumber{18}To open their eyes, that they may turne from darknes to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by fayth in me. 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision, 
\verseNumber{20}But shewed first vnto them of Damascus, and at Hierusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Iudea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turne to God, and doe workes worthy amendment of life. 
\verseNumber{21}For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me. 
\verseNumber{22}Neuertheles, I obteined helpe of God, and continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come, 
\verseNumber{23}To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light vnto this people, and to the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{24}And as he thus answered for himselfe, Festus said with a loude voyce, Paul, thou art besides thy selfe: much learning doeth make thee mad. 
\verseNumber{25}But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes. 
\verseNumber{26}For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speake boldly: for I am perswaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was not done in a corner. 
\verseNumber{27}O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest. 
\verseNumber{28}Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian. 
\verseNumber{29}Then Paul sayd, I would to God that not onely thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 
\verseNumber{30}And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them. 
\verseNumber{31}And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds. 
\verseNumber{32}Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{27}Now when it was concluded, that we should sayle into Italie, they deliuered both Paul, and certaine other prisoners vnto a Centurion named Iulius, of the band of Augustus. 
\verseNumber{2}And we entred into a ship of Adramyttium purposing to saile by the coastes of Asia, and launched foorth, and had Aristarchus of Macedonia, a Thessalonian, with vs. 
\verseNumber{3}And the next day we arriued at Sidon: and Iulius courteously entreated Paul, and gaue him libertie to go vnto his friends, that they might refresh him. 
\verseNumber{4}And from thence we launched, and sayled hard by Cyprus, because ye windes were contrarie. 
\verseNumber{5}Then sayled we ouer the sea by Cilicia, and Pamphilia, and came to Myra, a citie in Lycia. 
\verseNumber{6}And there the Centurion found a ship of Alexandria, sayling into Italie, and put vs therein. 
\verseNumber{7}And when we had sayled slowly many dayes, and scarce were come against Gnidum, because the winde suffered vs not, we sailed hard by Candie, neere to Salmone, 
\verseNumber{8}And with much adoe sayled beyond it, and came vnto a certaine place called the Faire hauens, neere vnto the which was the citie Lasea. 
\verseNumber{9}So when much time was spent, and sayling was now ieopardous, because also the Fast was nowe passed, Paul exhorted them, 
\verseNumber{10}And sayde vnto them, Syrs, I see that this voiage will be with hurt and much damage, not of the lading and ship onely, but also of our liues. 
\verseNumber{11}Neuertheles the Centurion beleeued rather the gouernour and the master of the ship, then those things which were spoken of Paul. 
\verseNumber{12}And because the hauen was not commodious to winter in, many tooke counsell to depart thence, if by any meanes they might attaine to Phenice, there to winter, which is an hauen of Candie, and lyeth toward the Southwest and by West, and Northwest and by West. 
\verseNumber{13}And when the Southerne winde blew softly, they supposing to atteine their purpose, loosed neerer, and sailed by Candie. 
\verseNumber{14}But anon after, there arose by it a stormy winde called Euroclydon. 
\verseNumber{15}And when the ship was caught, and could not resist the winde, we let her goe, and were caried away. 
\verseNumber{16}And we ran vnder a litle Yle named Clauda, and had much a doe to get the boat. 
\verseNumber{17}Which they tooke vp and vsed all helpe, vndergirding the ship, fearing least they should haue fallen into Syrtes, and they strake saile, and so were caried. 
\verseNumber{18}The next day when we were tossed with an exceeding tempest, they lightened the ship. 
\verseNumber{19}And the third day we cast out with our owne hands the tackling of the ship. 
\verseNumber{20}And when neither sunne nor starres in many dayes appeared, and no small tempest lay vpon vs, all hope that we should be saued, was then taken away. 
\verseNumber{21}But after long abstinece, Paul stood forth in the mids of them, and said, Syrs, ye should haue hearkened to me, and not haue loosed from Candie: so should ye haue gained this hurt and losse. 
\verseNumber{22}But now I exhort you to be of good courage: for there shalbe no losse of any mans life among you, saue of the ship onely. 
\verseNumber{23}For there stood by me this night the Angel of God, whose I am, and whome I serue, 
\verseNumber{24}Saying, Feare not, Paul: for thou must be brought before Cesar: and lo, God hath giuen vnto thee freely all that sayle with thee. 
\verseNumber{25}Wherefore, sirs, be of good courage: for I beleeue God, that it shall be so as it hath bene tolde me. 
\verseNumber{26}Howbeit, we must be cast into a certaine Iland. 
\verseNumber{27}And when ye fourteenth night was come, as we were caried to and from in the Adriaticall sea about midnight, the shipmen deemed that some countrey approched vnto them, 
\verseNumber{28}And sounded, and found it twentie fathoms: and when they had gone a litle further, they sounded againe, and found fifteene fathoms. 
\verseNumber{29}Then fearing least they should haue fallen into some rough places, they cast foure ancres out of the sterne, and wished that the day were come. 
\verseNumber{30}Nowe as the mariners were about to flee out of the ship, and had let downe the boat into the sea vnder a colour as though they would haue cast ankers out of the foreship, 
\verseNumber{31}Paul sayde vnto the Centurion and the souldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye can not be safe. 
\verseNumber{32}Then the souldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let it fall away. 
\verseNumber{33}And when it began to be day, Paul exhorted them all to take meate, saying, This is the fourteenth day that ye haue taried, and continued fasting, receiuing nothing: 
\verseNumber{34}Wherefore I exhort you to take meate: for this is for your safegarde: for there shall not an heare fall from the head of any of you. 
\verseNumber{35}And when he had thus spoken, hee tooke bread and gaue thankes to God, in presence of them all, and brake it, and began to eate. 
\verseNumber{36}Then were they all of good courage, and they also tooke meate. 
\verseNumber{37}Nowe we were in the ship in all two hundreth three score and sixteene soules. 
\verseNumber{38}And whe they had eaten ynough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 
\verseNumber{39}And when it was day, they knewe not the countrey, but they spied a certaine creeke with a banke, into the which they were minded (if it were possible) to thrust in the ship. 
\verseNumber{40}So when they had taken vp the ankers, they committed the ship vnto the sea, and loosed the rudder bonds, and hoised vp the maine saile to the winde, and drewe to the shore. 
\verseNumber{41}And when they fell into a place, where two seas met, they thrust in the ship: and the forepart stucke fast, and could not be moued, but the hinderpart was broken with the violence of the waues. 
\verseNumber{42}Then the souldiers counsell was to kill the prisoners, least any of them, when he had swomme out, should flee away. 
\verseNumber{43}But the Centurion willing to saue Paul, stayed them from this counsell, and commanded that they that coulde swimme, shoulde cast them selues first into the sea, and goe out to land: 
\verseNumber{44}And the other, some on boardes, and some on certaine pieces of the ship: and so it came to passe that they came all safe to land. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{28}And when they were come safe, then they knewe that the Yle was called Melita. 
\verseNumber{2}And the Barbarians shewed vs no litle kindnesse: for they kindled a fire, and receiued vs euery one, because of the present showre, and because of the colde. 
\verseNumber{3}And when Paul had gathered a nomber of stickes, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heate, and leapt on his hand. 
\verseNumber{4}Nowe when ye Barbarians saw the worme hang on his hand, they said among themselues, This man surely is a murtherer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet Vengeance hath not suffered to liue. 
\verseNumber{5}But he shooke off the worme into the fire, and felt no harme. 
\verseNumber{6}Howbeit they wayted whe he should haue swolne, or fallen downe dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and sawe no inconuenience come to him, they changed their mindes, and said, That he was a God. 
\verseNumber{7}In the same quarters, the chiefe man of the Yle (whose name was Publius) had possessions: the same receiued vs, and lodged vs three dayes courteously. 
\verseNumber{8}And so it was, that the father of Publius lay sicke of the feauer, and of a bloodie flixe: to whom Paul entred in, and when he prayed, he laide his hands on him, and healed him. 
\verseNumber{9}When this then was done, other also in the Yle, which had diseases, came to him, and were healed, 
\verseNumber{10}Which also did vs great honour: and when we departed, they laded vs with things necessarie. 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe after three moneths we departed in a shippe of Alexandria, which had wintred in the Yle, whose badge was Castor and Pollux. 
\verseNumber{12}And when we arriued at Syracuse, we taried there three dayes. 
\verseNumber{13}And from thence we set a compasse, and came to Rhegium: and after one day, the South wind blewe, and we came the seconde day to Putioli: 
\verseNumber{14}Where we found brethren, and were desired to tary with them seuen dayes, and so we went toward Rome. 
\verseNumber{15}And from thence, when the brethren heard of vs, they came to meete vs at the Market of Appius, and at the Three tauernes, whom when Paul sawe, he thanked God, and waxed bolde. 
\verseNumber{16}So when we came to Rome, the Centurion deliuered the prisoners to the generall Captaine: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with a souldier that kept him. 
\verseNumber{17}And the third day after, Paul called the chiefe of the Iewes together: and when they were come, he said vnto them, Men and brethren, though I haue committed nothing against the people, or Lawes of the fathers, yet was I deliuered prisoner from Hierusalem into the handes of the Romanes. 
\verseNumber{18}Who when they had examined me, would haue let me goe, because there was no cause of death in me. 
\verseNumber{19}But when the Iewes spake contrary, I was constrained to appeale vnto Cesar, not because I had ought to accuse my nation of. 
\verseNumber{20}For this cause therefore haue I called for you, to see you, and to speake with you: for that hope of Israels sake, I am bound with this chaine. 
\verseNumber{21}Then they saide vnto him, We neither receiued letters out of Iudea concerning thee, neither came any of the brethren that shewed or spake any euill of thee. 
\verseNumber{22}But we will heare of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we knowe that euery where it is spoken against. 
\verseNumber{23}And when they had appointed him a day, there came many vnto him into his lodging, to whom he expounded testifying the kingdome of God, and persuading them those things that concerne Iesus, both out of the Lawe of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning to night. 
\verseNumber{24}And some were persuaded with ye things which were spoken, and some beleeued not. 
\verseNumber{25}Therefore when they agreed not among themselues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the Prophet vnto our fathers, 
\verseNumber{26}Saying, Goe vnto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceiue. 
\verseNumber{27}For the heart of this people is waxed fatte, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes haue they winked, least they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their heartes, and should returne that I might heale them. 
\verseNumber{28}Be it knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall heare it. 
\verseNumber{29}And when he had saide these things, the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning among themselues. 
\verseNumber{30}And Paul remained two yeeres full in an house hired for himselfe, and receiued all that came in vnto him, 
\verseNumber{31}Preaching the kingdome of God, and teaching those things which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all boldnesse of speache, without let.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God, 
\verseNumber{2}(Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures) 
\verseNumber{3}Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh, 
\verseNumber{4}And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead) 
\verseNumber{5}By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles, 
\verseNumber{6}Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ: 
\verseNumber{7}To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{8}First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world. 
\verseNumber{9}For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you 
\verseNumber{10}Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you. 
\verseNumber{11}For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened: 
\verseNumber{12}That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine. 
\verseNumber{13}Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{14}I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome. 
\verseNumber{16}For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian. 
\verseNumber{17}For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith. 
\verseNumber{18}For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{19}Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them. 
\verseNumber{20}For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: 
\verseNumber{21}Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse. 
\verseNumber{22}When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles. 
\verseNumber{23}For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things. 
\verseNumber{24}Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues: 
\verseNumber{25}Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{26}For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature. 
\verseNumber{27}And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete. 
\verseNumber{28}For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient, 
\verseNumber{29}Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers, 
\verseNumber{30}Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents, without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse. 
\verseNumber{31}Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that condemnest: for in that that thou condemnest another, thou condemnest thy selfe: for thou that condemnest, doest the same things. 
\verseNumber{2}But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things. 
\verseNumber{3}And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God? 
\verseNumber{4}Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance? 
\verseNumber{5}But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God, 
\verseNumber{6}Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes: 
\verseNumber{7}That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: 
\verseNumber{8}But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath. 
\verseNumber{9}Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian. 
\verseNumber{10}But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian. 
\verseNumber{11}For there is no respect of persons with God. 
\verseNumber{12}For as many as haue sinned without the Lawe, shall perish also without the Lawe: and as many as haue sinned in the Lawe, shall be iudged by the Lawe, 
\verseNumber{13}(For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified. 
\verseNumber{14}For when the Gentiles which haue not the Lawe, doe by nature, the things conteined in the Lawe, they hauing not the Lawe, are a Lawe vnto themselues, 
\verseNumber{15}Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing,) 
\verseNumber{16}At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel. 
\verseNumber{17}Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God, 
\verseNumber{18}And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe: 
\verseNumber{19}And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse, 
\verseNumber{20}An instructer of them which lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast the forme of knowledge, and of the truth in ye Law. 
\verseNumber{21}Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale? 
\verseNumber{22}Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege? 
\verseNumber{23}Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God? 
\verseNumber{24}For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 
\verseNumber{25}For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision? 
\verseNumber{27}And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe? 
\verseNumber{28}For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 
\verseNumber{29}But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}What is then the preferment of the Iewe? or what is the profite of circumcision? 
\verseNumber{2}Much euery maner of way: for chiefly, because vnto them were of credite committed the oracles of God. 
\verseNumber{3}For what, though some did not beleeue? shall their vnbeliefe make the faith of God without effect? 
\verseNumber{4}God forbid: yea, let God be true, and euery man a lyar, as it is written, That thou mightest be iustified in thy words, and ouercome, when thou art iudged. 
\verseNumber{5}Now if our vnrighteousnes comend the righteousnes of God, what shall we say? Is God vnrighteous which punisheth? (I speake as a man.) 
\verseNumber{6}God forbid: els how shall God iudge ye world? 
\verseNumber{7}For if the veritie of God hath more abounded through my lye vnto his glorie, why am I yet condemned as a sinner? 
\verseNumber{8}And (as we are blamed, and as some affirme, that we say) why doe we not euil, that good may come thereof? whose damnation is iust. 
\verseNumber{9}What then? are we more excellent? No, in no wise: for we haue alreadie prooued, that all, both Iewes and Gentiles are vnder sinne, 
\verseNumber{10}As it is written, There is none righteous, no not one. 
\verseNumber{11}There is none that vnderstandeth: there is none that seeketh God. 
\verseNumber{12}They haue all gone out of the way: they haue bene made altogether vnprofitable: there is none that doeth good, no not one. 
\verseNumber{13}Their throte is an open sepulchre: they haue vsed their tongues to deceit: the poyson of aspes is vnder their lippes. 
\verseNumber{14}Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitternesse. 
\verseNumber{15}Their feete are swift to shead blood. 
\verseNumber{16}Destruction and calamity are in their waies, 
\verseNumber{17}And ye way of peace they haue not knowen. 
\verseNumber{18}The feare of God is not before their eies. 
\verseNumber{19}Now we know that whatsoeuer ye Lawe saieth, it saieth it to them which are vnder ye Law, that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world be subiect to the iudgement of God. 
\verseNumber{20}Therefore by the woorkes of the Lawe shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Lawe commeth the knowledge of sinne. 
\verseNumber{21}But nowe is the righteousnesse, of God made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Lawe and of the Prophets, 
\verseNumber{22}To wit, the righteousnesse of God by the faith of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue. 
\verseNumber{23}For there is no difference: for all haue sinned, and are depriued of the glorie of God, 
\verseNumber{24}And are iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus, 
\verseNumber{25}Whom God hath set forth to be a reconciliation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnes, by the forgiuenesse of the sinnes that are passed, 
\verseNumber{26}Through the patience of God, to shewe at this time his righteousnesse, that hee might be iust, and a iustifier of him which is of the faith of Iesus. 
\verseNumber{27}Where is then the reioycing? It is excluded. By what Lawe? of woorkes? Nay: but by the Lawe of faith. 
\verseNumber{28}Therefore we conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the workes of the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{29}God, is he the God of the Iewes onely, and not of the Gentiles also? Yes, euen of the Gentiles also. 
\verseNumber{30}For it is one God, who shall iustifie circumcision of faith, and vncircumcision through faith. 
\verseNumber{31}Doe we then make the Lawe of none effect through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Lawe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}What shall we say then, that Abraham our father hath found concerning the flesh? 
\verseNumber{2}For if Abraham were iustified by workes, he hath wherein to reioyce, but not with God. 
\verseNumber{3}For what saith the Scripture? Abraham beleeued God, and it was counted to him for righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{4}Nowe to him that worketh, the wages is not counted by fauour, but by dette: 
\verseNumber{5}But to him that worketh not, but beleeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodly, his faith is counted for righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{6}Euen as Dauid declareth the blessednesse of the man, vnto whom God imputeth righteousnes without workes, saying, 
\verseNumber{7}Blessed are they, whose iniquities are forgiuen, and whose sinnes are couered. 
\verseNumber{8}Blessed is the man, to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne. 
\verseNumber{9}Came this blessednesse then vpon the circumcision onely, or vpon the vncircumcision also? For we say, that faith was imputed vnto Abraham for righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{10}Howe was it then imputed? when he was circumcised, or vncircumcised? not when he was cricumcised, but when he was vncircumcised. 
\verseNumber{11}After, he receiued the signe of circumcision, as the seale of the righteousnesse of ye faith which he had, when he was vncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that beleeue, not being circumcised, that righteousnesse might be imputed to them also, 
\verseNumber{12}And the father of circumcision, not vnto them onely which are of the circumcision, but vnto them also that walke in the steppes of the faith of our father Abraham, which he had when he was vncircumcised. 
\verseNumber{13}For the promise that he should be the heire of the worlde, was not giuen to Abraham, or to his seede, through the Lawe, but through the righteousnesse of faith. 
\verseNumber{14}For if they which are of the Lawe, be heires, faith is made voide, and the promise is made of none effect. 
\verseNumber{15}For the Lawe causeth wrath: for where no Lawe is, there is no transgression. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore it is by faith, that it might come by grace, and the promise might be sure to all the seede, not to that onely which is of the Lawe: but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of vs all, 
\verseNumber{17}(As it is written, I haue made thee a father of many nations) euen before God whom he beleeued, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those thinges which be not, as though they were. 
\verseNumber{18}Which Abraham aboue hope, beleeued vnder hope, that he should be the father of many nations: according to that which was spoken to him, So shall thy seede be. 
\verseNumber{19}And he not weake in the faith, considered not his owne bodie, which was nowe dead, being almost an hundreth yeere olde, neither the deadnes of Saraes wombe. 
\verseNumber{20}Neither did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe, but was strengthened in the faith, and gaue glorie to God, 
\verseNumber{21}Being fully assured that he which had promised, was also able to doe it. 
\verseNumber{22}And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe it is not written for him onely, that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse, 
\verseNumber{24}But also for vs, to whom it shalbe imputed for righteousnesse, which beleeue in him that raised vp Iesus our Lord from the dead, 
\verseNumber{25}Who was deliuered to death for our sinnes, and is risen againe for our iustification. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Then being iustified by faith, we haue peace toward God through our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{2}By who also through faith, we haue had this accesse into this grace, wherein we stand, and reioyce vnder ye hope of the glory of God. 
\verseNumber{3}Neither that onely, but also we reioyce in tribulations, knowing that tribulation bringeth forth patience, 
\verseNumber{4}And patience experience, and experience hope, 
\verseNumber{5}And hope maketh not ashamed, because the loue of God is shed abroade in our heartes by the holy Ghost, which is giuen vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{6}For Christ, when we were yet of no strength, at his time died for the vngodly. 
\verseNumber{7}Doutles one will scarce die for a righteous man: but yet for a good man it may be that one dare die. 
\verseNumber{8}But God setteth out his loue towards vs, seeing that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for vs. 
\verseNumber{9}Much more then, being now iustified by his blood, we shalbe saued from wrath through him. 
\verseNumber{10}For if when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Sonne, much more being reconciled, we shalbe saued by his life, 
\verseNumber{11}And not onely so, but we also reioyce in God through our Lord Iesus Christ, by whom we haue nowe receiued the atonement. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore, as by one man sinne entred into ye world, and death by sinne, and so death went ouer all men: in who all men haue sinned. 
\verseNumber{13}For vnto the time of the Law was sinne in the worlde, but sinne is not imputed, while there is no lawe. 
\verseNumber{14}But death reigned from Adam to Moses, euen ouer them also that sinned not after the like maner of that transgression of Adam, which was the figure of him that was to come. 
\verseNumber{15}But yet the gift is not so, as is the offence: for if through the offence of that one, many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christ, hath abounded vnto many. 
\verseNumber{16}Neither is the gift so, as that which entred in by one that sinned: for the fault came of one offence vnto condemnation: but the gift is of many offences to iustification. 
\verseNumber{17}For if by the offence of one, death reigned through one, much more shall they which receiue that abundance of grace, and of that gift of that righteousnesse, reigne in life through one, that is, Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{18}Likewise then as by the offence of one, the fault came on all men to condemnation, so by the iustifying of one, the benefite abounded toward all men to the iustification of life. 
\verseNumber{19}For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by that obedience of that one shall many also be made righteous. 
\verseNumber{20}Moreouer the Law entred thereupon that the offence shoulde abound: neuerthelesse, where sinne abounded, there grace abounded much more: 
\verseNumber{21}That as sinne had reigned vnto death, so might grace also reigne by righteousnesse vnto eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}What shall we say then? Shall we continue still in sinne, that grace may abounde? God forbid. 
\verseNumber{2}Howe shall we, that are dead to sinne, liue yet therein? 
\verseNumber{3}Knowe ye not, that all we which haue bene baptized into Iesus Christ, haue bene baptized into his death? 
\verseNumber{4}We are buried then with him by baptisme into his death, that like as Christ was raysed vp from the dead to the glorie of the Father, so we also should walke in newnesse of life. 
\verseNumber{5}For if we be planted with him to the similitude of his death, euen so shall we be to the similitude of his resurrection, 
\verseNumber{6}Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sinne might be destroied, that henceforth we should not serue sinne. 
\verseNumber{7}For he that is dead, is freed from sinne. 
\verseNumber{8}Wherefore, if we bee dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shall liue also with him, 
\verseNumber{9}Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion ouer him. 
\verseNumber{10}For in that hee died, hee died once to sinne but in that he liueth, he liueth to God. 
\verseNumber{11}Likewise thinke ye also, that ye are dead to sin, but are aliue to God in Iesus Christ our Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}Let not sinne reigne therefore in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in ye lusts therof: 
\verseNumber{13}Neither giue ye your members, as weapons of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but giue your selues vnto God, as they that are aliue from the dead, and giue your members as weapons of righteousnesse vnto God. 
\verseNumber{14}For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you: for ye are not vnder ye Lawe, but vnder grace. 
\verseNumber{15}What then? shall we sinne, because we are not vnder the Law, but vnder grace? God forbid. 
\verseNumber{16}Knowe ye not, that to whomsoeuer yee giue your selues as seruats to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey, whether it be of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse? 
\verseNumber{17}But God be thanked, that ye haue beene the seruants of sinne, but yee haue obeyed from the heart vnto the forme of the doctrine, wherunto ye were deliuered. 
\verseNumber{18}Being then made free from sinne, yee are made the seruants of righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{19}I speake after the maner of man, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue giuen your members seruants to vncleannes and to iniquitie, to commit iniquitie, so now giue your mebers seruants vnto righteousnesse in holinesse. 
\verseNumber{20}For when ye were the seruants of sinne, ye were freed from righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{21}What fruit had ye then in those things, whereof ye are nowe ashamed? For the ende of those things is death. 
\verseNumber{22}But now being freed from sinne, and made seruants vnto God, ye haue your fruit in holines, and the end, euerlasting life. 
\verseNumber{23}For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}Knowe yee not, brethren, (for I speake to them that knowe the Lawe) that the Lawe hath dominion ouer a man as long as he liueth? 
\verseNumber{2}For the woman which is in subiection to a man, is bound by the Lawe to the man, while he liueth: but if the man bee dead, shee is deliuered from the lawe of the man. 
\verseNumber{3}So then, if while the man liueth, she taketh another man, she shalbe called an adulteresse: but if the man be dead, she is free from the Law, so that shee is not an adulteresse, though shee take another man. 
\verseNumber{4}So yee, my brethren, are dead also to the Law by ye body of Christ, that ye should be vnto an other, euen vnto him that is raised vp from the dead, that we should bring foorth fruite vnto God. 
\verseNumber{5}For when we were in ye flesh, the affections of sinnes, which were by the Law, had force in our members, to bring foorth fruit vnto death. 
\verseNumber{6}But now we are deliuered from the Lawe, he being dead in whom we were holden, that we should serue in newnesse of Spirite, and not in the oldnesse of the letter. 
\verseNumber{7}What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust. 
\verseNumber{8}But sinne tooke an occasion by ye commandement, and wrought in me all maner of concupiscence: for without the Lawe sinne is dead. 
\verseNumber{9}For I once was aliue, without the Law: but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued, 
\verseNumber{10}But I died: and the same commandement which was ordeined vnto life, was found to be vnto me vnto death. 
\verseNumber{11}For sinne tooke occasion by the commandement, and deceiued me, and thereby slewe me. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore the Lawe is holy, and that commandement is holy, and iust, and good. 
\verseNumber{13}Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid: but sinne, that it might appeare sinne, wrought death in me by that which is good, that sinne might be out of measure sinfull by the commandement. 
\verseNumber{14}For we knowe that the Law is spirituall, but I am carnall, solde vnder sinne. 
\verseNumber{15}For I alow not that which I do: for what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. 
\verseNumber{16}If I doe then that which I woulde not, I consent to the Lawe, that it is good. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe then, it is no more I, that doe it, but sinne that dwelleth in me. 
\verseNumber{18}For I know, that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to wil is preset with me: but I find no meanes to perform that which is good. 
\verseNumber{19}For I doe not the good thing, which I would, but the euil, which I would not, that do I. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe if I do that I would not, it is no more I that doe it, but the sinne that dwelleth in me. 
\verseNumber{21}I finde then that when I would doe good, I am thus yoked, that euill is present with me. 
\verseNumber{22}For I delite in the Law of God, concerning the inner man: 
\verseNumber{23}But I see another Law in my members, rebelling against the Lawe of my minde, and leading me captiue vnto the lawe of sinne, which is in my members. 
\verseNumber{24}O wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer me from the body of this death! 
\verseNumber{25}I thanke God through Iesus Christ our Lord. Then I my selfe in my minde serue the Lawe of God, but in my flesh the lawe of sinne.

\chapterNumber{8}Now then there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus, which walke not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{2}For the Lawe of the Spirite of life, which is in Christ Iesus, hath freed mee from the lawe of sinne and of death. 
\verseNumber{3}For (that that was impossible to ye Lawe, in as much as it was weake, because of ye flesh) God sending his owne Sonne, in ye similitude of sinful flesh, and for sinne, condened sinne in the flesh, 
\verseNumber{4}That that righteousnes of the Law might be fulfilled in vs, which walke not after ye flesh, but after the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{5}For they that are after the flesh, sauour the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{6}For the wisedome of the flesh is death: but the wisedome of the Spirit is life and peace, 
\verseNumber{7}Because the wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God: for it is not subiect to the Lawe of God, neither in deede can be. 
\verseNumber{8}So then they that are in the flesh, can not please God. 
\verseNumber{9}Now ye are not in the flesh, but in ye Spirit, because ye spirit of God dwelleth in you: but if any man hath not ye Spirit of Christ, ye same is not his. 
\verseNumber{10}And if Christ bee in you, the body is dead, because of sinne: but the Spirite is life for righteousnesse sake. 
\verseNumber{11}But if the Spirit of him that raised vp Iesus from the dead, dwell in you, he that raised vp Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortall bodies, by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore brethren, wee are detters not to the flesh, to liue after the flesh: 
\verseNumber{13}For if ye liue after the flesh, ye shall die: but if yee mortifie the deedes of the body by the Spirit, ye shall liue. 
\verseNumber{14}For as many as are ledde by the Spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God. 
\verseNumber{15}For ye haue not receiued the Spirit of bodage, to feare againe: but ye haue receiued the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father. 
\verseNumber{16}The same Spirit beareth witnesse with our spirit, that we are the children of God. 
\verseNumber{17}If we be children, we are also heires, euen the heires of God, and heires annexed with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. 
\verseNumber{18}For I count that the afflictions of this present time are not worthy of the glory, which shalbe shewed vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{19}For the feruent desire of the creature waiteth when the sonnes of God shalbe reueiled, 
\verseNumber{20}Because the creature is subiect to vanitie, not of it owne will, but by reason of him, which hath subdued it vnder hope, 
\verseNumber{21}Because the creature also shall be deliuered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertie of the sonnes of God. 
\verseNumber{22}For we knowe that euery creature groneth with vs also, and trauaileth in paine together vnto this present. 
\verseNumber{23}And not onely the creature, but we also which haue the first fruites of the Spirit, euen we doe sigh in our selues, waiting for the adoption, euen the redemption of our body. 
\verseNumber{24}For we are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for how can a man hope for that which he seeth? 
\verseNumber{25}But if we hope for that we see not, we doe with patience abide for it. 
\verseNumber{26}Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we knowe not what to pray as wee ought: but the Spirit it selfe maketh request for vs with sighs, which cannot be expressed. 
\verseNumber{27}But he that searcheth the heartes, knoweth what is the meaning of the Spirit: for he maketh request for ye Saints, according to the wil of God. 
\verseNumber{28}Also we knowe that all thinges worke together for the best vnto them that loue God, euen to them that are called of his purpose. 
\verseNumber{29}For those which hee knewe before, he also predestinate to bee made like to the image of his Sonne, that hee might be the first borne among many brethren. 
\verseNumber{30}Moreouer whom he predestinate, them also he called, and whom he called, them also he iustified, and whom he iustified, them he also glorified. 
\verseNumber{31}What shall we then say to these thinges? If God be on our side, who can be against vs? 
\verseNumber{32}Who spared not his owne Sonne, but gaue him for vs all to death, how shall he not with him giue vs all things also? 
\verseNumber{33}Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth, 
\verseNumber{34}Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs. 
\verseNumber{35}Who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sworde? 
\verseNumber{36}As it is written, For thy sake are we killed all day long: we are counted as sheepe for the slaughter. 
\verseNumber{37}Neuerthelesse, in all these thinges we are more then coquerours through him that loued vs. 
\verseNumber{38}For I am perswaded that neither death, nor life, nor Angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 
\verseNumber{39}Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.

\chapterNumber{9}I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost, 
\verseNumber{2}That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart. 
\verseNumber{3}For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh, 
\verseNumber{4}Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises. 
\verseNumber{5}Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{6}Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel: 
\verseNumber{7}Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called: 
\verseNumber{8}That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede. 
\verseNumber{9}For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne. 
\verseNumber{10}Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac. 
\verseNumber{11}For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth) 
\verseNumber{12}It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger. 
\verseNumber{13}As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau. 
\verseNumber{14}What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid. 
\verseNumber{15}For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion. 
\verseNumber{16}So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy. 
\verseNumber{17}For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth. 
\verseNumber{19}Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will? 
\verseNumber{20}But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 
\verseNumber{21}Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour? 
\verseNumber{22}What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction? 
\verseNumber{23}And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory? 
\verseNumber{24}Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles, 
\verseNumber{25}As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued. 
\verseNumber{26}And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{27}Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued. 
\verseNumber{28}For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth. 
\verseNumber{29}And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha. 
\verseNumber{30}What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith. 
\verseNumber{31}But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes. 
\verseNumber{32}Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone, 
\verseNumber{33}As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.

\chapterNumber{10}Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued. 
\verseNumber{2}For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge. 
\verseNumber{3}For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God. 
\verseNumber{4}For Christ is the end of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth. 
\verseNumber{5}For Moses thus describeth the righteousnes which is of the Lawe, That the man which doeth these things, shall liue thereby. 
\verseNumber{6}But the righteousnes which is of faith, speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heauen? (that is to bring Christ from aboue) 
\verseNumber{7}Or, Who shall descend into the deepe? (that is to bring Christ againe from the dead) 
\verseNumber{8}But what sayth it? The worde is neere thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thine heart. This is the worde of faith which we preach. 
\verseNumber{9}For if thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus, and shalt beleeue in thine heart, that God raised him vp from the dead, thou shalt be saued: 
\verseNumber{10}For with the heart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes, and with the mouth man confesseth to saluation. 
\verseNumber{11}For the Scripture saith, Whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed. 
\verseNumber{12}For there is no difference betweene the Iewe and the Grecian: for he that is Lord ouer all, is rich vnto all, that call on him. 
\verseNumber{13}For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued. 
\verseNumber{14}But how shall they call on him, in whome they haue not beleeued? and how shall they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard? and howe shall they heare without a preacher? 
\verseNumber{15}And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, Howe beautifull are the feete of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 
\verseNumber{16}But they haue not all obeyed ye Gospel: for Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report? 
\verseNumber{17}Then faith is by hearing, and hearing by the worde of God. 
\verseNumber{18}But I demaund, Haue they not heard? No doubt their sound went out through all the earth, and their wordes into the endes of the worlde. 
\verseNumber{19}But I demaund, Did not Israel knowe God? First Moses sayth, I will prouoke you to enuie by a nation that is not my nation, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 
\verseNumber{20}And Esaias is bolde, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not, and haue bene made manifest to them that asked not after me. 
\verseNumber{21}And vnto Israel hee sayth, All the day long haue I stretched foorth mine hand vnto a disobedient, and gainesaying people. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{11}I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin. 
\verseNumber{2}God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying, 
\verseNumber{3}Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life? 
\verseNumber{4}But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal. 
\verseNumber{5}Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace. 
\verseNumber{6}And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke. 
\verseNumber{7}What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened, 
\verseNumber{8}According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day. 
\verseNumber{9}And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them. 
\verseNumber{10}Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes. 
\verseNumber{11}I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be? 
\verseNumber{13}For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office, 
\verseNumber{14}To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them. 
\verseNumber{15}For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead? 
\verseNumber{16}For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches. 
\verseNumber{17}And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree. 
\verseNumber{18}Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee. 
\verseNumber{19}Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in. 
\verseNumber{20}Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare. 
\verseNumber{21}For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee. 
\verseNumber{22}Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off. 
\verseNumber{23}And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe. 
\verseNumber{24}For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree? 
\verseNumber{25}For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in. 
\verseNumber{26}And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob. 
\verseNumber{27}And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes. 
\verseNumber{28}As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes. 
\verseNumber{29}For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance. 
\verseNumber{30}For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe: 
\verseNumber{31}Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie. 
\verseNumber{32}For God hath shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all. 
\verseNumber{33}O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out! 
\verseNumber{34}For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour? 
\verseNumber{35}Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed? 
\verseNumber{36}For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for euer. Amen.

\verseNumber{16}Cause not your commoditie to be euill spoken of. 
\verseNumber{17}For the kingdome of God, is not meate nor drinke, but righteousnes, and peace, and ioye in the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{18}For whosoeuer in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable vnto God, and is approoued of men. 
\verseNumber{19}Let vs then follow those things which concerne peace, and wherewith one may edifie another. 
\verseNumber{20}Destroy not the worke of God for meates sake: all things in deede are pure: but it is euill for the man which eateth with offence. 
\verseNumber{21}It is good neither to eate flesh, nor to drinke wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or made weake. 
\verseNumber{22}Hast thou faith? haue it with thy selfe before God: blessed is hee that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which he aloweth. 
\verseNumber{23}For he that doubteth, is condemned if he eate, because he eateth not of faith: and whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.

\chapterNumber{15}We which are strong, ought to beare the infirmities of the weake, and not to please our selues. 
\verseNumber{2}Therefore let euery man please his neighbour in that that is good to edification. 
\verseNumber{3}For Christ also would not please himselfe, but as it is written, The rebukes of them which rebuke thee, fell on me. 
\verseNumber{4}For whatsoeuer things are written aforetime, are writte for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope. 
\verseNumber{5}Now the God of patience and consolation giue you that ye be like minded one towards another, according to Christ Iesus, 
\verseNumber{6}That ye with one minde, and with one mouth may prayse God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore receiue ye one another, as Christ also receiued vs to the glory of God. 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe I say, that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the trueth of God, to confirme the promises made vnto the fathers. 
\verseNumber{9}And let the Gentiles prayse God, for his mercie, as it is written, For this cause I wil confesse thee among the Gentiles, and sing vnto thy Name. 
\verseNumber{10}And againe he saith, Reioyce, ye Gentiles with his people. 
\verseNumber{11}And againe, Prayse the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laude ye him, all people together. 
\verseNumber{12}And againe Esaias sayth, There shall be a roote of Iesse, and hee that shall rise to reigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust. 
\verseNumber{13}Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioye, and peace in beleeuing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{14}And I my selfe also am perswaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnes, and filled with all knowledge, and are able to admonish one another. 
\verseNumber{15}Neuerthelesse, brethren, I haue somewhat boldly after a sort written vnto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is giuen me of God, 
\verseNumber{16}That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ toward the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{17}I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce in Christ Iesus in those things which pertaine to God. 
\verseNumber{18}For I dare not speake of any thing, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in worde and deede, 
\verseNumber{19}With the power of signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God: so that from Hierusalem, and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue caused to abound the Gospel of Christ. 
\verseNumber{20}Yea, so I enforced my selfe to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should haue built on another mans foundation. 
\verseNumber{21}But as it is written, To whome hee was not spoken of, they shall see him, and they that heard not, shall vnderstand him. 
\verseNumber{22}Therefore also I haue bene oft let to come vnto you: 
\verseNumber{23}But nowe seeing I haue no more place in these quarters, and also haue bene desirous many yeeres agone to come vnto you, 
\verseNumber{24}When I shall take my iourney into Spaine, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my iourney, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, after that I haue bene somewhat filled with your company. 
\verseNumber{25}But now go I to Hierusalem, to minister vnto the Saints. 
\verseNumber{26}For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certaine distribution vnto the poore Saints which are at Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{27}For it hath pleased them, and their detters are they: for if the Gentiles be made partakers of their spirituall things, their duetie is also to minister vnto them in carnall things. 
\verseNumber{28}When I haue therefore performed this, and haue sealed them this fruite, I will passe by you into Spaine. 
\verseNumber{29}And I knowe when I come, that I shall come to you with abundance of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. 
\verseNumber{30}Also brethren, I beseeche you for our Lord Iesus Christes sake, and for the loue of the spirit, that ye would striue with me by prayers to God for me, 
\verseNumber{31}That I may be deliuered from them which are disobedient in Iudea, and that my seruice which I haue to doe at Hierusalem, may be accepted of the Saintes, 
\verseNumber{32}That I may come vnto you with ioy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 
\verseNumber{33}Thus the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

\chapterNumber{16}I Commende vnto you Phebe our sister, which is a seruaunt of the Church of Cenchrea: 
\verseNumber{2}That ye receiue her in the Lord, as it becommeth Saintes, and that ye assist her in whatsoeuer businesse she needeth of your ayde: for she hath giuen hospitalitie vnto many, and to me also.

\verseNumber{16}Salute one another with an holy kisse. The Churches of Christ salute you. 
\verseNumber{17}Now I beseech you brethren, marke them diligently which cause diuision and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye haue learned, and auoide them. 
\verseNumber{18}For they that are such, serue not the Lord Iesus Christ, but their owne bellies, and with faire speach and flattering deceiue the heartes of the simple. 
\verseNumber{19}For your obedience is come abroade among all: I am glad therefore of you: but yet I woulde haue you wise vnto that which is good, and simple concerning euill. 
\verseNumber{20}The God of peace shall treade Satan vnder your feete shortly. The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you. 
\verseNumber{21}Timotheus my helper, and Lucius, and Iason, and Sosipater my kinsemen, salute you. 
\verseNumber{22}I Tertius, which wrote out this Epistle, salute you in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{23}Gains mine hoste, and of the whole Church saluteth you. Erastus the steward of the citie saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.

\BibleMainTitle{THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS }
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Paul called to be an Apostle of Iesus Christ, through the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 
\verseNumber{2}Vnto the Church of God, which is at Corinthus, to them that are sanctified in Christ Iesus, Saintes by calling, with all that call on the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ in euery place, both their Lord, and ours: 
\verseNumber{3}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{4}I thanke my God alwayes on your behalfe for the grace of God, which is giuen you in Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{5}That in all things ye are made rich in him, in all kinde of speach, and in all knowledge: 
\verseNumber{6}As the testimonie of Iesus Christ hath bene confirmed in you: 
\verseNumber{7}So that ye are not destitute of any gift: wayting for the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{8}Who shall also confirme you vnto the ende, that ye may be blamelesse, in the day of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{9}God is faithfull, by whom ye are called vnto the fellowship of his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe I beseeche you, brethren, by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye all speake one thing, and that there be no dissensions among you: but be ye knit together in one mind, and in one iudgement. 
\verseNumber{11}For it hath bene declared vnto me, my brethren, of you by them that are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am Pauls, and I am Apollos, and I am Cephas, and I am Christs. 
\verseNumber{13}Is Christ deuided? was Paul crucified for you? either were ye baptized into the name of Paul? 
\verseNumber{14}I thanke God, that I baptized none of you, but Crispus, and Gaius, 
\verseNumber{15}Lest any should say, that I had baptized into mine owne name. 
\verseNumber{16}I baptized also the houshold of Stephanas: furthermore knowe I not, whether I baptized any other. 
\verseNumber{17}For CHRIST sent me not to baptize, but to preache the Gospel, not with wisdome of wordes, lest the crosse of Christ should be made of none effect. 
\verseNumber{18}For that preaching of the crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs, which are saued, it is the power of God. 
\verseNumber{19}For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and will cast away the vnderstanding of the prudent. 
\verseNumber{20}Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this worlde? hath not God made the wisedome of this worlde foolishnesse? 
\verseNumber{21}For seeing the worlde by wisedome knewe not God in the wisedome of GOD, it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to saue them that beleeue: 
\verseNumber{22}Seeing also that the Iewes require a signe, and the Grecians seeke after wisdome. 
\verseNumber{23}But wee preach Christ crucified: vnto the Iewes, euen a stumbling blocke, and vnto the Grecians, foolishnesse: 
\verseNumber{24}But vnto them which are called, both of the Iewes and Grecians, we preach Christ, the power of God, and the wisedome of God. 
\verseNumber{25}For the foolishnesse of God is wiser then men, and the weakenesse of God is stronger then men. 
\verseNumber{26}For brethren, you see your calling, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. 
\verseNumber{27}But God hath chosen the foolish thinges of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weake thinges of the worlde, to confound the mightie things, 
\verseNumber{28}And vile things of the worlde and thinges which are despised, hath God chosen, and thinges which are not, to bring to nought thinges that are, 
\verseNumber{29}That no flesh shoulde reioyce in his presence. 
\verseNumber{30}But ye are of him in Christ Iesus, who of God is made vnto vs wisedome and righteousnesse, and sanctification, and redemption, 
\verseNumber{31}That, according as it is written, Hee that reioyceth, let him reioyce in the Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellencie of woordes, or of wisedome, shewing vnto you the testimonie of God. 
\verseNumber{2}For I esteemed not to knowe any thing among you, saue Iesus Christ, and him crucified. 
\verseNumber{3}And I was among you in weakenesse, and in feare, and in much trembling. 
\verseNumber{4}Neither stoode my woorde, and my preaching in the entising speach of mans wisdom, but in plaine euidence of the Spirite and of power, 
\verseNumber{5}That your faith should not be in the wisdome of men, but in the power of God. 
\verseNumber{6}And we speake wisedome among them that are perfect: not the wisedome of this world, neither of the princes of this world, which come to nought. 
\verseNumber{7}But we speake the wisedome of God in a mysterie, euen the hid wisedom, which God had determined before the world, vnto our glory. 
\verseNumber{8}Which none of the princes of this world hath knowen: for had they knowen it, they would not haue crucified the Lord of glory. 
\verseNumber{9}But as it is written, The thinges which eye hath not seene, neither eare hath heard, neither came into mans heart, are, which God hath prepared for them that loue him. 
\verseNumber{10}But God hath reueiled them vnto vs by his Spirit: for the spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deepe things of God. 
\verseNumber{11}For what man knoweth the things of a man, saue the spirite of a man, which is in him? euen so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe we haue receiued not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit, which is of God, that we might knowe the thinges that are giuen to vs of God. 
\verseNumber{13}Which things also we speake, not in the woordes which mans wisedome teacheth, but which the holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spirituall things with spirituall things. 
\verseNumber{14}But the naturall man perceiueth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishnesse vnto him: neither can hee knowe them, because they are spiritually discerned. 
\verseNumber{15}But hee that is spirituall, discerneth all things: yet he himselfe is iudged of no man. 
\verseNumber{16}For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord, that hee might instruct him? But we haue the minde of Christ. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}And I could not speake vnto you, brethren, as vnto spirituall men, but as vnto carnall, euen as vnto babes in Christ. 
\verseNumber{2}I gaue you milke to drinke, and not meat: for yee were not yet able to beare it, neither yet nowe are yee able. 
\verseNumber{3}For yee are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men? 
\verseNumber{4}For when one sayeth, I am Pauls, and another, I am Apollos, are yee not carnall? 
\verseNumber{5}Who is Paul then? and who is Apollos, but the ministers by whome yee beleeued, and as the Lord gaue to euery man? 
\verseNumber{6}I haue planted, Apollos watred, but God gaue the increase. 
\verseNumber{7}So then, neither is hee that planteth any thing, neither hee that watreth, but God that giueth the increase. 
\verseNumber{8}And he that planteth, and he that watreth, are one, and euery man shall receiue his wages, according to his labour. 
\verseNumber{9}For we together are Gods labourers: yee are Gods husbandrie, and Gods building. 
\verseNumber{10}According to the grace of God giuen to mee, as a skilfull master builder, I haue laide the foundation, and another buildeth thereon: but let euery man take heede how he buildeth vpon it. 
\verseNumber{11}For other foundation can no man laie, then that which is laied, which is Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{12}And if any man builde on this foundation, golde, siluer, precious stones, timber, haye, or stubble, 
\verseNumber{13}Euery mans worke shalbe made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shalbe reueiled by the fire: and the fire shall trie euery mans worke of what sort it is. 
\verseNumber{14}If any mans worke, that he hath built vpon, abide, he shall receiue wages. 
\verseNumber{15}If any mans worke burne, he shall lose, but he shalbe saued himselfe: neuerthelesse yet as it were by the fire. 
\verseNumber{16}Knowe ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 
\verseNumber{17}If any man destroy the Temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the Temple of God is holy, which ye are. 
\verseNumber{18}Let no man deceiue himselfe: If any man among you seeme to be wise in this world, let him be a foole, that he may be wise. 
\verseNumber{19}For the wisdome of this worlde is foolishnesse with God: for it is written, He catcheth the wise in their owne craftinesse. 
\verseNumber{20}And againe, The Lord knoweth that the thoughtes of the wise be vaine. 
\verseNumber{21}Therefore let no man reioyce in men: for all things are yours. 
\verseNumber{22}Whether it be Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death: whether they be things present, or thinges to come, euen all are yours, 
\verseNumber{23}And ye Christes, and Christ Gods. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Let a man so thinke of vs, as of the ministers of Christ, and disposers of the secrets of God: 
\verseNumber{2}And as for the rest, it is required of the disposers, that euery man be found faithfull. 
\verseNumber{3}As touching me, I passe very litle to be iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: no, I iudge not mine owne selfe. 
\verseNumber{4}For I know nothing by my selfe, yet am I not thereby iustified: but he that iudgeth me, is the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will lighten things that are hid in darkenesse, and make the counsels of the hearts manifest: and then shall euery man haue praise of God. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe these things, brethren, I haue figuratiuely applied vnto mine owne selfe and Apollos, for your sakes, that ye might learne by vs, that no man presume aboue that which is written, that one swell not against another for any mans cause. 
\verseNumber{7}For who separateth thee? and what hast thou, that thou hast not receiued? if thou hast receiued it, why reioycest thou, as though thou haddest not receiued it? 
\verseNumber{8}Nowe ye are full: nowe ye are made rich: ye reigne as kings without vs, and would to God ye did reigne, that we also might reigne with you. 
\verseNumber{9}For I thinke that God hath set forth vs the last Apostles, as men appointed to death: for we are made a gasing stocke vnto the worlde, and to the Angels, and to men. 
\verseNumber{10}We are fooles for Christes sake, and ye are wise in Christ: we are weake, and ye are strong: ye are honourable, and we are despised. 
\verseNumber{11}Vnto this houre we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and haue no certaine dwelling place, 
\verseNumber{12}And labour, working with our owne handes: we are reuiled, and yet we blesse: we are persecuted, and suffer it. 
\verseNumber{13}We are euill spoken of, and we pray: we are made as the filth of the world, the offskowring of all things, vnto this time. 
\verseNumber{14}I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloued children I admonish you. 
\verseNumber{15}For though ye haue tenne thousand instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: for in Christ Iesus I haue begotten you through the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{16}Wherefore, I pray you, be ye folowers of me. 
\verseNumber{17}For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, which is my beloued sonne, and faithfull in the Lord, which shall put you in remembrance of my wayes in Christ as I teache euery where in euery Church. 
\verseNumber{18}Some are puffed vp as though I woulde not come vnto you. 
\verseNumber{19}But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will knowe, not the wordes of them which are puffed vp, but the power. 
\verseNumber{20}For the kingdome of God is not in worde, but in power. 
\verseNumber{21}What will ye? shall I come vnto you with a rod, or in loue, and in ye spirite of meekenes? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}It is heard certainely that there is fornication among you: and such fornication as is not once named among the Gentiles, that one should haue his fathers wife. 
\verseNumber{2}And ye are puffed vp and haue not rather sorowed, that he which hath done this deede, might be put from among you. 
\verseNumber{3}For I verely as absent in bodie, but present in spirit, haue determined already as though I were present, that he that hath thus done this thing, 
\verseNumber{4}When ye are gathered together, and my spirit, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that such one, I say, by the power of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{5}Be deliuered vnto Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saued in the day of the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{6}Your reioycing is not good: knowe ye not that a litle leauen, leaueneth ye whole lumpe? 
\verseNumber{7}Purge out therefore the olde leauen, that ye may be a newe lumpe, as ye are vnleauened: for Christ our Passeouer is sacrificed for vs. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore let vs keepe the feast, not with olde leauen, neither in the leauen of maliciousnes and wickednesse: but with the vnleauened bread of synceritie and trueth. 
\verseNumber{9}I wrote vnto you in an Epistle, that ye should not companie together with fornicatours, 
\verseNumber{10}And not altogether with the fornicatours of this world, or with the couetous, or with extortioners, or with idolaters: for then ye must goe out of the world. 
\verseNumber{11}But nowe I haue written vnto you, that ye companie not together: if any that is called a brother, be a fornicatour, or couetous, or an idolater, or a rayler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner, with such one eate not. 
\verseNumber{12}For what haue I to doe, to iudge them also which are without? doe ye not iudge them that are within? 
\verseNumber{13}But God iudgeth them that are without. Put away therefore from among your selues that wicked man. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Dare any of you, hauing businesse against an other, be iudged vnder the vniust, and not vnder the Saintes? 
\verseNumber{2}Doe ye not knowe, that the Saintes shall iudge the worlde? If the worlde then shalbe iudged by you, are ye vnworthie to iudge the smallest matters? 
\verseNumber{3}Knowe ye not that we shall iudge the Angels? howe much more, things that perteine to this life? 
\verseNumber{4}If then ye haue iudgements of things perteining to this life, set vp them which are least esteemed in the Church. 
\verseNumber{5}I speake it to your shame. Is it so that there is not a wise man among you? no not one, that can iudge betweene his brethren? 
\verseNumber{6}But a brother goeth to law with a brother, and that vnder the infidels. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe therefore there is altogether infirmitie in you, in that yee goe to lawe one with another: why rather suffer ye not wrong? why rather susteine yee not harme? 
\verseNumber{8}Nay, yee your selues doe wrong, and doe harme, and that to your brethren. 
\verseNumber{9}Knowe yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor wantons, nor buggerers, 
\verseNumber{10}Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners shall inherite the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{11}And such were some of you: but yee are washed, but yee are sanctified, but yee are iustified in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 
\verseNumber{12}All thinges are lawfull vnto mee, but all thinges are not profitable. I may doe all things, but I will not be brought vnder the power of any thing. 
\verseNumber{13}Meates are ordeined for the bellie, and the belly for the meates: but God shall destroy both it, and them. Nowe the bodie is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the bodie. 
\verseNumber{14}And God hath also raised vp the Lord, and shall raise vs vp by his power. 
\verseNumber{15}Knowe yee not, that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 
\verseNumber{16}Doe ye not knowe, that he which coupleth himselfe with an harlot, is one body? for two, sayeth he, shalbe one flesh. 
\verseNumber{17}But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirite. 
\verseNumber{18}Flee fornication: euery sinne that a man doeth, is without the bodie: but hee that committeth fornication, sinneth against his owne bodie. 
\verseNumber{19}Knowe yee not, that your body is the temple of the holy Ghost, which is in you, whom ye haue of God? and yee are not your owne. 
\verseNumber{20}For yee are bought for a price: therefore glorifie God in your bodie, and in your spirit: for they are Gods. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}Nowe concerning the thinges whereof ye wrote vnto mee, It were good for a man not to touche a woman. 
\verseNumber{2}Neuertheles, to auoide fornication, let euery man haue his wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband. 
\verseNumber{3}Let the husband giue vnto the wife due beneuolence, and likewise also the wife vnto the husband. 
\verseNumber{4}The wife hath not the power of her owne bodie, but ye husband: and likewise also the husband hath not ye power of his own body, but the wife. 
\verseNumber{5}Defraude not one another, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may giue your selues to fasting and praier, and againe come together that Satan tempt you not for your incontinecie. 
\verseNumber{6}But I speake this by permission, not by commandement. 
\verseNumber{7}For I woulde that all men were euen as I my selfe am: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore I say vnto the vnmaried, and vnto the widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I doe. 
\verseNumber{9}But if they cannot abstaine, let them marrie: for it is better to marrie then to burne. 
\verseNumber{10}And vnto ye maried I comand, not I, but ye Lord, Let not ye wife depart from her husband. 
\verseNumber{11}But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled vnto her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife. 
\verseNumber{12}But to ye remnant I speake, and not ye Lord, If any brother haue a wife, ye beleeueth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not forsake her. 
\verseNumber{13}And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, if he be content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him. 
\verseNumber{14}For the vnbeleeuing husband is sanctified to the wife, and the vnbeleeuing wife is sanctified to the husband, els were your children vncleane: but nowe are they holie. 
\verseNumber{15}But if the vnbeleeuing depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not in subiection in such things: but God hath called vs in peace. 
\verseNumber{16}For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt saue thine husband? Or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt saue thy wife? 
\verseNumber{17}But as God hath distributed to euery man, as the Lord hath called euery one, so let him walke: and so ordaine I, in all Churches. 
\verseNumber{18}Is any man called being circumcised? let him not gather his vncircumcision: is any called vncircumcised? let him not be circumcised. 
\verseNumber{19}Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandements of God. 
\verseNumber{20}Let euery man abide in the same vocation wherein he was called. 
\verseNumber{21}Art thou called being a seruant? care not for it: but if yet thou maiest be free, vse it rather. 
\verseNumber{22}For he that is called in the Lord, being. a seruant, is the Lords freeman: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christes seruant. 
\verseNumber{23}Yee are bought with a price: be not the seruants of men. 
\verseNumber{24}Brethren, let euery man, wherein hee was called, therein abide with God. 
\verseNumber{25}Nowe concerning virgines, I haue no commandement of the Lord: but I giue mine aduise, as one that hath obtained mercie of the Lord to be faithfull. 
\verseNumber{26}I suppose then this to bee good for the present necessitie: I meane that it is good for a man so to be. 
\verseNumber{27}Art thou bounde vnto a wife? seeke not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife. 
\verseNumber{28}But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not: and if a virgine marrie, shee sinneth not: neuerthelesse, such shall haue trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. 
\verseNumber{29}And this I say, brethren, because the time is short, hereafter that both they which haue wiues, be as though they had none: 
\verseNumber{30}And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that bye, as though they possessed not: 
\verseNumber{31}And they that vse this worlde, as though they vsed it not: for the fashion of this worlde goeth away. 
\verseNumber{32}And I would haue you without care. The vnmaried careth for the things of the Lord, howe he may please the Lord. 
\verseNumber{33}But hee that is maried, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife. 
\verseNumber{34}There is difference also betweene a virgine and a wife: the vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirite: but shee that is maried, careth for the things of the worlde, howe shee may please her husband. 
\verseNumber{35}And this I speake for your owne commoditie, not to tangle you in a snare, but that yee follow that, which is honest, and that yee may cleaue fast vnto the Lord without separation. 
\verseNumber{36}But if any man thinke that it is vncomely for his virgine, if shee passe the flower of her age, and neede so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them be maried. 
\verseNumber{37}Neuerthelesse, hee that standeth firme in his heart, that hee hath no neede, but hath power ouer his owne will, and hath so decreed in his heart, that hee will keepe his virgine, hee doeth well. 
\verseNumber{38}So then hee that giueth her to mariage, doeth well, but he that giueth her not to mariage, doeth better. 
\verseNumber{39}The wife is bounde by the Lawe, as long as her husband liueth: but if her husband bee dead, shee is at libertie to marie with whome she will, onely in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{40}But shee is more blessed, if she so abide, in my iudgement: and I thinke that I haue also the Spirite of God.

\chapterNumber{8}And as touching things sacrificed vnto idols, wee knowe that wee all haue knowledge: knowledge puffeth vp, but loue edifieth. 
\verseNumber{2}Nowe, if any man thinke that hee knoweth any thing, hee knoweth nothing yet as hee ought to knowe. 
\verseNumber{3}But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him. 
\verseNumber{4}Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed vnto idoles, we knowe that an idole is nothing in the worlde, and that there is none other God but one. 
\verseNumber{5}For though there bee that are called gods, whether in heauen, or in earth (as there be many gods, and many lords) 
\verseNumber{6}Yet vnto vs there is but one God, which is that Father, of whome are all things, and we in him: and one Lord Iesus Christ, by whome are all things, and we by him. 
\verseNumber{7}But euery man hath not that knowledge: for many hauing conscience of the idole, vntill this houre, eate as a thing sacrificed vnto the idole, and so their conscience being weake, is defiled. 
\verseNumber{8}But meate maketh not vs acceptable to God, for neither if we eate, haue we the more: neither if we eate not, haue we the lesse. 
\verseNumber{9}But take heede lest by any meanes this power of yours be an occasion of falling, to them that are weake. 
\verseNumber{10}For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at table in the idoles temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be boldened to eate those things which are sacrificed to idoles? 
\verseNumber{11}And through thy knowledge shall the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ. 
\verseNumber{13}Wherefore if meate offende my brother, I wil eate no flesh while the world standeth, that I may not offend my brother.

\chapterNumber{9}Am I not an Apostle? am I not free? haue I not seene Iesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my worke in the Lord? 
\verseNumber{2}If I be not an Apostle vnto other, yet doutlesse I am vnto you: for ye are the seale of mine Apostleship in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}My defence to them that examine mee, is this, 
\verseNumber{4}Haue we not power to eat and to drinke? 
\verseNumber{5}Or haue we not power to lead about a wife being a sister, as well as the rest of the Apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 
\verseNumber{6}Or I only and Barnabas, haue not we power not to worke? 
\verseNumber{7}Who goeth a warfare any time at his owne coste? who planteth a vineyarde, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flocke, and eateth not of the milke of the flocke? 
\verseNumber{8}Say I these thinges according to man? saith not the Lawe the same also? 
\verseNumber{9}For it is written in the Lawe of Moses, Thou shalt not mussell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: doeth God take care for oxen? 
\verseNumber{10}Either saith hee it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes no doubt it is written, that he which eareth, should eare in hope, and that he that thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope. 
\verseNumber{11}If wee haue sowen vnto you spirituall thinges, is it a great thing if we reape your carnall thinges? 
\verseNumber{12}If others with you bee partakers of this power, are not we rather? neuerthelesse, we haue not vsed this power: but suffer all things, that we should not hinder the Gospel of Christ. 
\verseNumber{13}Doe ye not knowe, that they which minister about the holy things, eate of the things of the Temple? and they which waite at the altar, are partakers with the altar? 
\verseNumber{14}So also hath the Lord ordeined, that they which preach ye Gospel, should liue of the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{15}But I haue vsed none of these things: neither wrote I these things, that it should be so done vnto me: for it were better for me to die, then that any man should make my reioycing vaine. 
\verseNumber{16}For though I preach the Gospel, I haue nothing to reioyce of: for necessitie is laid vpon me, and woe is vnto me, if I preach not the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{17}For if I do it willingly, I haue a reward, but if I do it against my will, notwithstanding the dispensation is committed vnto me. 
\verseNumber{18}What is my reward then? verely that when I preach the Gospel, I make the Gospel of Christ free, that I abuse not mine authoritie in ye Gospel. 
\verseNumber{19}For though I bee free from all men, yet haue I made my selfe seruant vnto all men, that I might winne the moe. 
\verseNumber{20}And vnto the Iewes, I become as a Iewe, that I may winne the Iewes: to them that are vnder the Lawe, as though I were vnder the Lawe, that I may winne them that are vnder the Lawe: 
\verseNumber{21}To them that are without Lawe, as though I were without Lawe, (when I am not without Lawe as pertaining to God, but am in the Lawe through Christ) that I may winne them that are without Lawe: 
\verseNumber{22}To the weake I become as weake, that I may winne the weake: I am made all thinges to all men, that I might by all meanes saue some. 
\verseNumber{23}And this I doe for the Gospels sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 
\verseNumber{24}Knowe ye not, that they which runne in a race, runne all, yet one receiueth the price? so runne that ye may obtaine. 
\verseNumber{25}And euery man that proueth masteries, abstaineth from all things: and they do it to obtaine a corruptible crowne: but we for an vncorruptible. 
\verseNumber{26}I therefore so runne, not as vncertainely: so fight I, not as one that beateth the ayre. 
\verseNumber{27}But I beate downe my body, and bring it into subiection, lest by any meanes after that I haue preached to other, I my selfe should be reproued.

\chapterNumber{10}Moreouer, brethren, I woulde not that yee shoulde bee ignorant, that all our fathers were vnder that cloude, and all passed through that sea, 
\verseNumber{2}And were all baptized vnto Moses, in that cloude, and in that sea, 
\verseNumber{3}And did all eat the same spiritual meat, 
\verseNumber{4}And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke (for they dranke of the spiritual Rocke that folowed them: and the Rocke was Christ) 
\verseNumber{5}But with many of them God was not pleased: for they were ouerthrowen in ye wildernes. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe these things are our ensamples, to the intent that we should not lust after euil things as they also lusted. 
\verseNumber{7}Neither bee ye idolaters as were some of them, as it is written, The people sate downe to eate and drinke, and rose vp to play. 
\verseNumber{8}Neither let vs commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and fell in one day three and twentie thousand. 
\verseNumber{9}Neither let vs tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted him, and were destroyed of serpents. 
\verseNumber{10}Neither murmure ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe all these things came vnto them for ensamples, and were written to admonish vs, vpon whome the endes of the world are come. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore, let him that thinketh he standeth, take heede lest he fall. 
\verseNumber{13}There hath no tentation taken you, but such as appertaine to man: and God is faithfull, which will not suffer you to be tempted aboue that you be able, but wil euen giue the issue with the tentation, that ye may be able to beare it. 
\verseNumber{14}Wherefore my beloued, flee from idolatrie. 
\verseNumber{15}I speake as vnto them which haue vnderstanding: iugde ye what I say. 
\verseNumber{16}The cup of blessing which we blesse, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we breake, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 
\verseNumber{17}For we that are many, are one bread and one body, because we all are partakers of one bread. 
\verseNumber{18}Beholde Israel, which is after the flesh: are not they which eate of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 
\verseNumber{19}What say I then? that the idole is any thing? or that that which is sacrificed to idoles, is any thing? 
\verseNumber{20}Nay, but that these things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to deuils, and not vnto God: and I would not that ye should haue fellowship with the deuils. 
\verseNumber{21}Ye can not drinke the cup of the Lord, and the cup of the deuils. Ye can not be partakers of the Lords table, and of the table of the deuils. 
\verseNumber{22}Doe we prouoke the Lord to anger? are we stronger then he? 
\verseNumber{23}All things are lawfull for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawfull for me, but all things edifie not.

\verseNumber{28}But if any man say vnto you, This is sacrificed vnto idoles, eate it not, because of him that shewed it, and for the conscience (for the earth is the Lords, and all that therein is) 
\verseNumber{29}And the conscience, I say, not thine, but of that other: for why should my libertie be condemned of another mans conscience? 
\verseNumber{30}For if I through Gods benefite be partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that wherefore I giue thankes? 
\verseNumber{31}Whether therefore ye eate, or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.

\chapterNumber{11}Be yee followers of mee, euen as I am of Christ. 
\verseNumber{2}Now brethren, I commend you, that ye remember all my things, and keepe the ordinances, as I deliuered them to you. 
\verseNumber{3}But I wil that ye know, that Christ is the head of euery man: and the man is the womans head: and God is Christs head. 
\verseNumber{4}Euery man praying or prophecying hauing any thing on his head, dishonoureth his head. 
\verseNumber{5}But euery woman that prayeth or prophecieth bare headed, dishonoureth her head: for it is euen one very thing, as though she were shauen. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore if the woman be not couered, let her also be shorne: and if it be shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered. 
\verseNumber{7}For a man ought not to couer his head: for as much as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 
\verseNumber{8}For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. 
\verseNumber{9}For the man was not created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels. 
\verseNumber{11}Neuertheles, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman: but all things are of God. 
\verseNumber{13}Iudge in your selues, Is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered? 
\verseNumber{14}Doeth not nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long heare, it is a shame vnto him? 
\verseNumber{15}But if a woman haue long heare, it is a prayse vnto her: for her heare is giuen her for a couering. 
\verseNumber{16}But if any man lust to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe in this that I declare, I prayse you not, that ye come together, not with profite, but with hurt. 
\verseNumber{18}For first of all, when ye come together in the Church, I heare that there are dissentions among you: and I beleeue it to be true in some part. 
\verseNumber{19}For there must be heresies euen among you, that they which are approoued among you, might be knowen. 
\verseNumber{20}When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper. 
\verseNumber{21}For euery man when they should eate, taketh his owne supper afore, and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 
\verseNumber{22}Haue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? despise ye the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? what shall I say to you? shall I prayse you in this? I prayse you not. 
\verseNumber{23}For I haue receiued of the Lord that which I also haue deliuered vnto you, to wit, That the Lord Iesus in the night when he was betrayed, tooke bread: 
\verseNumber{24}And when hee had giuen thankes, hee brake it, and sayde, Take, eate: this is my body, which is broken for you: this doe ye in remembrance of me. 
\verseNumber{25}After the same maner also he tooke the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the Newe Testament in my blood: this doe as oft as ye drinke it, in remembrance of me. 
\verseNumber{26}For as often as ye shall eate this bread, and drinke this cup, ye shewe the Lords death till hee come. 
\verseNumber{27}Wherefore, whosoeuer shall eate this bread, and drinke the cup of the Lord vnworthily, shall be guiltie of the body and blood of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{28}Let euery man therefore examine himselfe, and so let him eate of this bread, and drinke of this cup. 
\verseNumber{29}For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily, eateth and drinketh his owne damnation, because he discerneth not the Lords body. 
\verseNumber{30}For this cause many are weake, and sicke among you, and many sleepe. 
\verseNumber{31}For if we would iudge our selues, we should not be iudged. 
\verseNumber{32}But when we are iudged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we should not be condemned with the world. 
\verseNumber{33}Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eate, tary one for another. 
\verseNumber{34}And if any man be hungry, let him eate at home, that ye come not together vnto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come.

\chapterNumber{12}Now concerning spirituall giftes, brethren, I would not haue you ignorant. 
\verseNumber{2}Ye know that ye were Gentiles, and were caried away vnto the dumme Idoles, as ye were led. 
\verseNumber{3}Wherefore, I declare vnto you, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Iesus execrable: also no man can say that Iesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost. 
\verseNumber{4}Now there are diuersities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 
\verseNumber{5}And there are diuersities of administrations, but the same Lord, 
\verseNumber{6}And there are diuersities of operations, but God is the same which worketh all in all. 
\verseNumber{7}But the manifestation of the Spirit is giuen to euery man, to profite withall. 
\verseNumber{8}For to one is giuen by the Spirit the word of wisdome: and to an other the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit: 
\verseNumber{9}And to another is giuen faith by the same Spirit: and to another the giftes of healing, by the same Spirit: 
\verseNumber{10}And to another the operations of great workes: and to another, prophecie: and to another, the discerning of spirits: and to another, diuersities of tongues: and to another, the interpretation of tongues. 
\verseNumber{11}And all these thinges worketh one and the selfe same Spirit, distributing to euery man seuerally as he will. 
\verseNumber{12}For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, which is one, though they be many, yet are but one body: euen so is Christ. 
\verseNumber{13}For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we bee Iewes, or Grecians, whether we be bonde, or free, and haue bene all made to drinke into one Spirit. 
\verseNumber{14}For the body also is not one member, but many. 
\verseNumber{15}If the foote would say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 
\verseNumber{16}And if the eare would say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 
\verseNumber{17}If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smellling? 
\verseNumber{18}But nowe hath God disposed the members euery one of them in the bodie at his owne pleasure. 
\verseNumber{19}For if they were all one member, where were the body? 
\verseNumber{20}But now are there many members, yet but one body. 
\verseNumber{21}And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no neede of thee: nor the head againe to the feete, I haue no neede of you. 
\verseNumber{22}Yea, much rather those members of the body, which seeme to be more feeble, are necessarie. 
\verseNumber{23}And vpon those members of the body, which wee thinke most vnhonest, put wee more honestie on: and our vncomely parts haue more comelinesse on. 
\verseNumber{24}For our comely partes neede it not: but God hath tempered the body together, and hath giuen the more honour to that part which lacked, 
\verseNumber{25}Lest there should be any diuision in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another. 
\verseNumber{26}Therefore if one member suffer, all suffer with it: if one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it. 
\verseNumber{27}Now ye are the body of Christ, and members for your part. 
\verseNumber{28}And God hath ordained some in the Church: as first Apostles, secondly Prophetes, thirdly teachers, then them that doe miracles: after that, the giftes of healing, helpers, gouernours, diuersitie of tongues. 
\verseNumber{29}Are all Apostles? are all Prophetes? are all teachers? 
\verseNumber{30}Are all doers of miracles? haue all the gifts of healing? doe all speake with tongues? doe all interprete? 
\verseNumber{31}But desire you the best giftes, and I will yet shewe you a more excellent way.

\verseNumber{12}Euen so, forasmuch as ye couet spirituall giftes, seeke that ye may excell vnto the edifying of the Church. 
\verseNumber{13}Wherefore, let him that speaketh a strange tongue, pray, that he may interprete. 
\verseNumber{14}For if I pray in a strange togue, my spirit prayeth: but mine vnderstading is without fruite. 
\verseNumber{15}What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, but I wil pray with the vnderstanding also: I wil sing with the spirite, but I will sing with the vnderstanding also. 
\verseNumber{16}Else, when thou blessest with the spirit, howe shall hee that occupieth the roome of the vnlearned, say Amen, at thy giuing of thankes, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? 
\verseNumber{17}For thou verely giuest thankes well, but the other is not edified. 
\verseNumber{18}I thanke my God, I speake languages more then ye all. 
\verseNumber{19}Yet had I rather in the Church to speake fiue wordes with mine vnderstanding, that I might also instruct others, then ten thousande wordes in a strange tongue. 
\verseNumber{20}Brethren, be not children in vnderstanding, but as concerning maliciousnes be children, but in vnderstanding be of a ripe age. 
\verseNumber{21}In the Lawe it is written, By men of other tongues, and by other languages will I speake vnto this people: yet so shall they not heare me, sayth the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}Wherefore strange tongues are for a signe, not to them that beleeue, but to them that beleeue not: but prophecying serueth not for them that beleeue not, but for them which beleeue. 
\verseNumber{23}If therefore when the whole Church is come together in one, and all speake strange tongues, there come in they that are vnlearned, or they which beleeue not, will they not say, that ye are out of your wittes? 
\verseNumber{24}But if all prophecie, and there come in one that beleeueth not, or one vnlearned, hee is rebuked of all men, and is iudged of all, 
\verseNumber{25}And so are the secrets of his heart made manifest, and so he will fall downe on his face and worship God, and say plainely that God is in you in deede. 
\verseNumber{26}What is to be done then, brethren? when ye come together, according as euery one of you hath a Psalme, or hath doctrine, or hath a tongue, or hath reuelation, or hath interpretation, let all things be done vnto edifying. 
\verseNumber{27}If any man speake a strange tongue, let it be by two, or at the most, by three, and that by course, and let one interprete. 
\verseNumber{28}But if there be no interpreter, let him keepe silence in the Church, which speaketh languages, and let him speake to himselfe, and to God. 
\verseNumber{29}Let the Prophets speake two, or three, and let the other iudge. 
\verseNumber{30}And if any thing be reueiled to another that sitteth by, let the first holde his peace. 
\verseNumber{31}For ye may all prophecie one by one, that all may learne, and all may haue comfort. 
\verseNumber{32}And the spirits of the Prophets are subiect to the Prophets. 
\verseNumber{33}For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as we see in all ye Churches of the Saints. 
\verseNumber{34}Let your women keepe silence in the Churches: for it is not permitted vnto them to speake: but they ought to be subiect, as also the Lawe sayth. 
\verseNumber{35}And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church. 
\verseNumber{36}Came the worde of God out from you? either came it vnto you onely? 
\verseNumber{37}If any man thinke him selfe to be a Prophet, or spirituall, let him acknowledge, that the things, that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{38}And if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 
\verseNumber{39}Wherefore, brethren, couet to prophecie, and forbid not to speake languages. 
\verseNumber{40}Let all things be done honestly, and by order.

\chapterNumber{15}Moreouer brethren, I declare vnto you the Gospel, which I preached vnto you, which ye haue also receiued, and wherein ye continue, 
\verseNumber{2}And whereby ye are saued, if ye keepe in memorie, after what maner I preached it vnto you, except ye haue beleeued in vaine. 
\verseNumber{3}For first of all, I deliuered vnto you that which I receiued, how that Christ died for our sinnes, according to the Scriptures, 
\verseNumber{4}And that he was buried, and that he arose the third day, according to the Scriptures, 
\verseNumber{5}And that he was seene of Cephas, then of the twelue. 
\verseNumber{6}After that, he was seene of more then fiue hudreth brethren at once: whereof many remaine vnto this present, and some also are asleepe. 
\verseNumber{7}After that, he was seene of Iames: then of all the Apostles. 
\verseNumber{8}And last of all he was seene also of me, as of one borne out of due time. 
\verseNumber{9}For I am the least of the Apostles, which am not meete to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God. 
\verseNumber{10}But by the grace of God, I am that I am: and his grace which is in me, was not in vaine: but I laboured more aboundantly then they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore, whether it were I, or they, so we preach, and so haue ye beleeued. 
\verseNumber{12}Now if it be preached, that Christ is risen from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead? 
\verseNumber{13}For if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 
\verseNumber{14}And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine. 
\verseNumber{15}And we are found also false witnesses of God: for we haue testified of God, that he hath raised vp Christ: whome he hath not raised vp, if so be the dead be not raised. 
\verseNumber{16}For if the dead be not raised, then is Christ not raised. 
\verseNumber{17}And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine: ye are yet in your sinnes. 
\verseNumber{18}And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished. 
\verseNumber{19}If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. 
\verseNumber{20}But nowe is Christ risen from the dead, and was made the first fruites of them that slept. 
\verseNumber{21}For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 
\verseNumber{22}For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue, 
\verseNumber{23}But euery man in his owne order: the first fruites is Christ, afterward, they that are of Christ, at his comming shall rise againe. 
\verseNumber{24}Then shalbe the end, when he hath deliuered vp the kingdome to God, euen the Father, when he hath put downe all rule, and all authoritie and power. 
\verseNumber{25}For he must reigne till hee hath put all his enemies vnder his feete. 
\verseNumber{26}The last enemie that shalbe destroyed, is death. 
\verseNumber{27}For he hath put downe all things vnder his feete. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put downe all things vnder him.) 
\verseNumber{28}And when all things shalbe subdued vnto him, then shall the Sonne also himselfe be subiect vnto him, that did subdue all things vnder him, that God may be all in all. 
\verseNumber{29}Els what shall they doe which are baptized for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead? 
\verseNumber{30}Why are wee also in ieopardie euery houre? 
\verseNumber{31}By your reioycing which I haue in Christ Iesus our Lord, I die dayly. 
\verseNumber{32}If I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after ye maner of men, what aduantageth it me, if the dead be not raised vp? let vs eate and drinke: for to morowe we shall die. 
\verseNumber{33}Be not deceiued: euill speakings corrupt good maners. 
\verseNumber{34}Awake to liue righteously, and sinne not: for some haue not ye knowledge of God, I speake this to your shame. 
\verseNumber{35}But some man will say, Howe are the dead raised vp? and with what body come they foorth? 
\verseNumber{36}O foole, that which thou sowest, is not quickened, except it die. 
\verseNumber{37}And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shalbe, but bare corne as it falleth, of wheat, or of some other. 
\verseNumber{38}But God giueth it a body at his pleasure, euen to euery seede his owne body, 
\verseNumber{39}All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beastes, and another of fishes, and another of birdes. 
\verseNumber{40}There are also heauenly bodies, and earthly bodies: but the glorie of the heauenly is one, and the glorie of the earthly is another. 
\verseNumber{41}There is another glorie of the sunne, and another glorie of the moone, and another glorie of the starres: for one starre differeth from another starre in glorie. 
\verseNumber{42}So also is the resurrection of the dead. The bodie is sowen in corruption, and is raysed in incorruption. 
\verseNumber{43}It is sowen in dishonour, and is raysed in glory: it is sowen in weakenesse, and is raysed in power. 
\verseNumber{44}It is sowen a naturall body, and is raysed a spirituall body: there is a naturall body, and there is a spirituall body. 
\verseNumber{45}As it is also written, The first man Adam was made a liuing soule: and the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit. 
\verseNumber{46}Howbeit that was not first which is spirituall: but that which is naturall, and afterward that which is spirituall. 
\verseNumber{47}The first man is of the earth, earthly: the second man is the Lord from heauen. 
\verseNumber{48}As is the earthly, such are they that are earthly: and as is the heauenly, such are they also that are heauenly. 
\verseNumber{49}And as we haue borne the image of the earthly, so shall we beare the image of the heauenly. 
\verseNumber{50}This say I, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherite the kingdome of God, neither doeth corruption inherite incorruption. 
\verseNumber{51}Behold, I shewe you a secret thing, We shall not all sleepe, but we shall all be changed, 
\verseNumber{52}In a moment, in the twinckling of an eye at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall blow, and the dead shalbe raysed vp incorruptible, and we shalbe changed. 
\verseNumber{53}For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortall must put on immortalitie. 
\verseNumber{54}So when this corruptible hath put on incorruption, and this mortall hath put on immortalitie, then shalbe brought to passe the saying that is written, Death is swallowed vp into victorie. 
\verseNumber{55}O death where is thy sting? O graue where is thy victorie? 
\verseNumber{56}The sting of death is sinne: and ye strength of sinne is the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{57}But thankes be vnto God, which hath giuen vs victorie through our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{58}Therefore my beloued brethren, be ye stedfast, vnmoueable, aboundant alwayes in the worke of the Lord, forasmuch as ye knowe that your labour is not in vaine in the Lord.

\chapterNumber{16}Concerning the gathering for the Saintes, as I haue ordeined in the Churches of Galatia, so doe ye also. 
\verseNumber{2}Euery first day of the weeke, let euery one of you put aside by himselfe, and lay vp as God hath prospered him, that then there be no gatherings when I come. 
\verseNumber{3}And when I am come, whomsoeuer ye shall alowe by letters, them will I send to bring your liberalitie vnto Hierusalem. 
\verseNumber{4}And if it be meete that I goe also, they shall goe with me. 
\verseNumber{5}Nowe I will come vnto you, after I haue gone through Macedonia (for I will passe through Macedonia.) 
\verseNumber{6}And it may be that I will abide, yea, or winter with you, that ye may bring me on my way, whither soeuer I goe. 
\verseNumber{7}For I will not see you nowe in my passage, but I trust to abide a while with you, if the Lord permit. 
\verseNumber{8}And I wil tary at Ephesus vntill Pentecost. 
\verseNumber{9}For a great doore and effectuall is opened vnto me: and there are many aduersaries. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe if Timotheus come, see that he be without feare with you: for he worketh the worke of the Lord, euen as I doe. 
\verseNumber{11}Let no man therefore despise him: but conuey him foorth in peace, that he may come vnto me: for I looke for him with the brethren. 
\verseNumber{12}As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him, to come vnto you with the brethren: but his mind was not at all to come at this time: howbeit he will come when he shall haue conuenient time. 
\verseNumber{13}Watch ye: stand fast in the faith: quite you like men, and be strong. 
\verseNumber{14}Let all your things be done in loue. 
\verseNumber{15}Nowe brethren, I beseeche you (ye knowe the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruites of Achaia, and that they haue giuen themselues to minister vnto the Saintes) 
\verseNumber{16}That ye be obedient euen vnto such, and to all that helpe with vs and labour. 
\verseNumber{17}I am glad of the comming of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus: for they haue supplied the want of you. 
\verseNumber{18}For they haue comforted my spirite and yours: acknowledge therefore such men. 
\verseNumber{19}The Churches of Asia salute you: Aquila and Priscilla with ye Church that is in their house, salute you greatly in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{20}All the brethren greete you. Greete ye one another, with an holy kisse. 
\verseNumber{21}The salutation of me Paul with mine owne hand. 
\verseNumber{22}If any man loue not the Lord Iesus Christ, let him be had in execration maran-atha. 
\verseNumber{23}The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you. 
\verseNumber{24}My loue be with you all in Christ Iesus, Amen. ‘The first Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, and sent by Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, and Timotheus.’

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Pavl an Apostle of JESVS Christ, by the will of God, and our brother Timotheus, to the Church of God, which is at Corinthus with all the Saints, which are in all Achaia: 
\verseNumber{2}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{3}Blessed be God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, 
\verseNumber{4}Which comforteth vs in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we our selues are comforted of God. 
\verseNumber{5}For as the sufferings of Christ abounde in vs, so our consolation aboundeth through Christ. 
\verseNumber{6}And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and saluation, which is wrought in the induring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and saluation. 
\verseNumber{7}And our hope is stedfast concerning you, in as much as we know that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 
\verseNumber{8}For brethren, we woulde not haue you ignorant of our affliction, which came vnto vs in Asia, howe we were pressed out of measure passing strength, so that we altogether doubted, euen of life. 
\verseNumber{9}Yea, we receiued the sentence of death in our selues, because we shoulde not trust in our selues, but in God, which rayseth the dead. 
\verseNumber{10}Who deliuered vs from so great a death, and doeth deliuer vs: in whom we trust, that yet hereafter he will deliuer vs, 
\verseNumber{11}So that ye labour together in prayer for vs, that for the gift bestowed vpon vs for many, thankes may be giuen by many persons for vs. 
\verseNumber{12}For our reioycing is this, the testimonie of our conscience, that in simplicitie and godly purenesse, and not in fleshly wisedome, but by the grace of God wee haue had our conuersation in the worlde, and most of all to you wardes. 
\verseNumber{13}For wee write none other thinges vnto you, then that ye reade or els that ye acknowledge, and I trust ye shall acknowledge vnto ye end. 
\verseNumber{14}Euen as ye haue acknowledged vs partly, that we are your reioycing, euen as ye are ours, in the day of our Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{15}And in this confidence was I minded first to come vnto you, that ye might haue had a double grace, 
\verseNumber{16}And to passe by you into Macedonia, and to come againe out of Macedonia vnto you, and to be led foorth towarde Iudea of you. 
\verseNumber{17}When I therefore was thus minded, did I vse lightnesse? or minde I those thinges which I minde, according to the flesh, that with me should be, Yea, yea, and Nay, nay? 
\verseNumber{18}Yea, God is faithfull, that our worde towarde you was not Yea, and Nay. 
\verseNumber{19}For the Sonne of God Iesus Christ, who was preached among you by vs, that is, by me, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, was not Yea, and Nay: but in him it was Yea. 
\verseNumber{20}For all the promises of God in him are Yea, and are in him Amen, vnto the glorie of God through vs. 
\verseNumber{21}And it is God which stablisheth vs with you in Christ, and hath anoynted vs. 
\verseNumber{22}Who hath also sealed vs, and hath giuen the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe, I call God for a recorde vnto my soule, that to spare you, I came not as yet vnto Corinthus. 
\verseNumber{24}Not that wee haue dominion ouer your faith, but wee are helpers of your ioy: for by faith yee stande. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Bvt I determined thus in my selfe, that I would not come againe to you in heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{2}For if I make you sorie, who is he then that shoulde make me glad, but ye same which is made sorie by me? 
\verseNumber{3}And I wrote this same thing vnto you, lest when I came, I should take heauines of them, of whom I ought to reioyce: this confidence haue I in you all, that my ioye is the ioye of you all. 
\verseNumber{4}For in great affliction, and anguish of heart I wrote vnto you with many teares: not that yee should be made sorie, but that ye might perceiue the loue which I haue, specially vnto you. 
\verseNumber{5}And if any hath caused sorowe, the same hath not made mee sorie, but partly (lest I should more charge him) you all. 
\verseNumber{6}It is sufficient vnto the same man, that hee was rebuked of many. 
\verseNumber{7}So that nowe contrariwise yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest the same shoulde bee swalowed vp with ouermuch heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{8}Wherefore, I pray you, that you woulde confirme your loue towards him. 
\verseNumber{9}For this cause also did I write, that I might knowe the proofe of you, whether yee would be obedient in all things. 
\verseNumber{10}To whome yee forgiue any thing, I forgiue also: for verely if I forgaue any thing, to whome I forgaue it, for your sakes forgaue I it in the sight of Christ, 
\verseNumber{11}Lest Satan should circumuent vs: for we are not ignorant of his enterprises. 
\verseNumber{12}Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christs Gospell, and a doore was opened vnto me of the Lord, 
\verseNumber{13}I had no rest in my spirit, because I founde not Titus my brother, but tooke my leaue of them, and went away into Macedonia. 
\verseNumber{14}Now thankes be vnto God, which alwaies maketh vs to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the sauour of his knowledge by vs in euery place. 
\verseNumber{15}For wee are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ, in them that are saued, and in them which perish. 
\verseNumber{16}To the one we are the sauour of death, vnto death, and to the other the sauour of life, vnto life: and who is sufficient for these things? 
\verseNumber{17}For wee are not as many, which make marchandise of the woorde of God: but as of sinceritie, but as of God in ye sight of God speake we in Christ. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Doe we begin to praise our selues againe? or neede we as some other, epistles of recommendation vnto you, or letters of recommendation from you? 
\verseNumber{2}Yee are our epistle, written in our hearts, which is vnderstand, and read of all men, 
\verseNumber{3}In that yee are manifest, to be the Epistle of Christ, ministred by vs, and written, not with yncke, but with the Spirite of the liuing God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. 
\verseNumber{4}And such trust haue we through Christ to God: 
\verseNumber{5}Not that we are sufficient of our selues, to thinke any thing, as of our selues: but our sufficiencie is of God, 
\verseNumber{6}Who also hath made vs able ministers of the Newe testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirite: for the letter killeth, but the Spirite giueth life. 
\verseNumber{7}If then the ministration of death written with letters and ingrauen in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel coulde not beholde the face of Moses, for the glorie of his countenance (which glorie is done away.) 
\verseNumber{8}Howe shall not the ministration of the Spirite be more glorious? 
\verseNumber{9}For if the ministerie of condemnation was glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnesse exceede in glorie. 
\verseNumber{10}For euen that which was glorified, was not glorified in this point, that is, as touching the exceeding glorie. 
\verseNumber{11}For if that which should be abolished, was glorious, much more shall that which remaineth, be glorious. 
\verseNumber{12}Seeing then that we haue such trust, we vse great boldnesse of speach. 
\verseNumber{13}And we are not as Moses, which put a vaile vpon his face, that the children of Israel should not looke vnto the ende of that which should be abolished. 
\verseNumber{14}Therefore their mindes are hardened: for vntill this day remaineth the same couering vntaken away in the reading of the olde Testament, which vaile in Christ is put away. 
\verseNumber{15}But euen vnto this day, whe Moses is read, the vaile is laid ouer their hearts. 
\verseNumber{16}Neuertheles when their heart shall be turned to the Lord, the vaile shalbe taken away. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe the Lord is the Spirite, and where the Spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie. 
\verseNumber{18}But we al behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face, and are changed into the same image, from glorie to glorie, as by the Spirit of the Lord. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Therefore, seeing that we haue this ministerie, as we haue receiued mercy, we faint not: 
\verseNumber{2}But haue cast from vs ye clokes of shame, and walke not in craftines, neither handle we the worde of God deceitfully: but in declaration of the trueth we approue our selues to euery mans conscience in the sight of God. 
\verseNumber{3}If our Gospell bee then hid, it is hid to them that are lost. 
\verseNumber{4}In whom the God of this world hath blinded the mindes, that is, of the infidels, that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ, which is the image of God, should not shine vnto them. 
\verseNumber{5}For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruaunts for Iesus sake. 
\verseNumber{6}For God that commanded the light to shine out of darknesse, is he which hath shined in our hearts, to giue the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{7}But we haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie of that power might be of God, and not of vs. 
\verseNumber{8}Wee are afflicted on euery side, yet are we not in distresse: we are in doubt, but yet wee despaire not. 
\verseNumber{9}We are persecuted, but not forsaken: cast downe, but we perish not. 
\verseNumber{10}Euery where we beare about in our bodie the dying of the Lord Iesus, that the life of Iesus might also be made manifest in our bodies. 
\verseNumber{11}For we which liue, are alwaies deliuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 
\verseNumber{12}So then death worketh in vs, and life in you. 
\verseNumber{13}And because we haue the same spirite of faith, according as it is written, I beleeued, and therefore haue I spoken, we also beleeue, and therefore speake, 
\verseNumber{14}Knowing that he which hath raised vp the Lord Iesus, shall raise vs vp also by Iesus, and shall set vs with you. 
\verseNumber{15}For all thinges are for your sakes, that that most plenteous grace by the thankesgiuing of many, may redound to the praise of God. 
\verseNumber{16}Therefore we faint not, but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed daily. 
\verseNumber{17}For our light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth vnto vs a farre most excellent and an eternall waight of glorie: 
\verseNumber{18}While we looke not on the thinges which are seene, but on the things which are not seene: for the things which are seene, are temporall: but the things which are not seene, are eternall. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}For we knowe that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we haue a building giuen of God, that is, an house not made with handes, but eternall in the heauens. 
\verseNumber{2}For therefore we sighe, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heauen. 
\verseNumber{3}Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked. 
\verseNumber{4}For in deede we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened, because we would not be vnclothed, but would be clothed vpon, that mortalitie might be swalowed vp of life. 
\verseNumber{5}And he that hath created vs for this thing, is God, who also hath giuen vnto vs the earnest of the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore we are alway bolde, though we knowe that whiles we are at home in the bodie, we are absent from the Lord. 
\verseNumber{7}(For we walke by faith, and not by sight.) 
\verseNumber{8}Neuerthelesse, we are bolde, and loue rather to remoue out of the body, and to dwell with the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore also we couet, that both dwelling at home, and remouing from home, we may be acceptable to him. 
\verseNumber{10}For we must all appeare before the iudgement seate of Christ, that euery man may receiue the things which are done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or euill. 
\verseNumber{11}Knowing therefore that terrour of the Lord, we persuade men, and we are made manifest vnto God, and I trust also that we are made manifest in your consciences. 
\verseNumber{12}For we prayse not our selues againe vnto you, but giue you an occasion to reioyce of vs, that ye may haue to answere against them, which reioyce in the face, and not in the heart. 
\verseNumber{13}For whether we be out of our wit, we are it to God: or whether we be in our right minde, we are it vnto you. 
\verseNumber{14}For that loue of Christ constraineth vs, 
\verseNumber{15}Because we thus iudge, that if one be dead for all, then were all dead, and he died for all, that they which liue, shoulde not henceforth liue vnto themselues, but vnto him which died for them, and rose againe. 
\verseNumber{16}Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe. 
\verseNumber{18}And all things are of God, which hath reconciled vs vnto himselfe by Iesus Christ, and hath giuen vnto vs the ministerie of reconciliation. 
\verseNumber{19}For God was in Christ, and reconciled the world to himselfe, not imputing their sinnes vnto them, and hath committed to vs the word of reconciliation. 
\verseNumber{20}Now then are we ambassadours for Christ: as though God did beseeche you through vs, we pray you in Christes steade, that ye be reconciled to God. 
\verseNumber{21}For he hath made him to be sinne for vs, which knewe no sinne, that we should be made the righteousnesse of God in him. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}So we therefore as workers together beseech you, that ye receiue not the grace of God in vaine. 
\verseNumber{2}For he sayth, I haue heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of saluation haue I succoured thee: beholde nowe the accepted time, beholde nowe the day of saluation. 
\verseNumber{3}We giue no occasion of offence in any thing, that our ministerie shoulde not be reprehended. 
\verseNumber{4}But in all things we approue our selues as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 
\verseNumber{5}In stripes, in prisons, in tumults, in labours, 
\verseNumber{6}By watchings, by fastings, by puritie, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindnesse, by the holy Ghost, by loue vnfained, 
\verseNumber{7}By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left, 
\verseNumber{8}By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true: 
\verseNumber{9}As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed: 
\verseNumber{10}As sorowing, and yet alway reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things. 
\verseNumber{11}O Corinthians, our mouth is open vnto you: our heart is made large.

\verseNumber{16}And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shalbe my people.

\chapterNumber{7}Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God. 
\verseNumber{2}Receiue vs: we haue done wrong to no man: we haue corrupted no man: we haue defrauded no man. 
\verseNumber{3}I speake it not to your condemnation: for I haue said before, that ye are in our hearts, to die and liue together. 
\verseNumber{4}I vse great boldnesse of speach toward you: I reioyce greatly in you: I am filled with comfort, and am exceeding ioyous in all our tribulation. 
\verseNumber{5}For when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on euery side, fightings without, and terrours within. 
\verseNumber{6}But God, that comforteth the abiect, comforted vs at the comming of Titus: 
\verseNumber{7}And not by his comming onely, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted of you, when he tolde vs your great desire, your mourning, your feruent minde to me warde, so that I reioyced much more. 
\verseNumber{8}For though I made you sorie with a letter, I repent not, though I did repent: for I perceiue that the same epistle made you sorie, though it were but for a season. 
\verseNumber{9}I nowe reioyce, not that ye were sorie, but that ye sorowed to repentance: for ye sorowed godly, so that in nothing ye were hurt by vs. 
\verseNumber{10}For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death. 
\verseNumber{11}For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore, though I wrote vnto you, I did not it for his cause that had done the wrong, neither for his cause that had the iniurie, but that our care toward you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore we were comforted, because ye were comforted: but rather we reioyced much more for the ioye of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 
\verseNumber{14}For if that I haue boasted any thing to him of you, I haue not bene ashamed: but as I haue spoken vnto you all things in trueth, euen so our boasting vnto Titus was true. 
\verseNumber{15}And his inwarde affection is more aboundant toward you, when he remembreth the obedience of you all, and howe with feare and trembling ye receiued him. 
\verseNumber{16}I reioyce therefore that I may put my confidence in you in all things.

\chapterNumber{8}We doe you also to wit, brethren, of the grace of God bestowed vpon the Churches of Macedonia, 
\verseNumber{2}Because in great triall of affliction their ioy abounded, and their most extreme pouertie abounded vnto their rich liberalitie. 
\verseNumber{3}For to their power (I beare record) yea, and beyonde their power, they were willing, 
\verseNumber{4}And praied vs with great instance that we woulde receiue the grace, and fellowship of the ministring which is toward the Saints. 
\verseNumber{5}And this they did, not as we looked for: but gaue their owne selues, first to the Lord, and after vnto vs by the will of God, 
\verseNumber{6}That we should exhort Titus, that as hee had begon, so he would also accomplish the same grace among you also. 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore, as yee abound in euery thing, in faith and woorde, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your loue towardes vs, euen so see that yee abound in this grace also. 
\verseNumber{8}This say I not by commandement, but because of the diligence of others: therefore prooue I the naturalnesse of your loue. 
\verseNumber{9}For ye knowe the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, that hee being rich, for your sakes became poore, that yee through his pouertie might be made rich. 
\verseNumber{10}And I shewe my minde herein: for this is expedient for you, which haue begun not to doe onely, but also to will, a yeare agoe. 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe therefore performe to doe it also, that as there was a readinesse to will, euen so yee may performe it of that which yee haue. 
\verseNumber{12}For if there be first a willing minde, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 
\verseNumber{13}Neither is it that other men should be eased and you grieued: But vpon like condition, at this time your abundance supplieth their lacke: 
\verseNumber{14}That also their aboundance may bee for your lacke, that there may be equalitie: 
\verseNumber{15}As it is written, Hee that gathered much, had nothing ouer, and hee that gathered litle, had not the lesse. 
\verseNumber{16}And thanks be vnto God, which hath put in the heart of Titus the same care for you. 
\verseNumber{17}Because hee accepted the exhortation, yea, hee was so carefull that of his owne accorde hee went vnto you. 
\verseNumber{18}And wee haue sent also with him the brother, whose praise is in the Gospel throughout al the Churches. 
\verseNumber{19}(And not so onely, but is also chosen of the Churches to be a fellowe in our iourney, concerning this grace that is ministred by vs vnto the glorie of the same Lord, and declaration of your prompt minde) 
\verseNumber{20}Auoiding this, that no man shoulde blame vs in this aboundance that is ministred by vs, 
\verseNumber{21}Prouiding for honest thinges, not onely before the Lord, but also before men. 
\verseNumber{22}And we haue sent with them our brother, whom we haue oft times prooued to be diligent in many thinges, but nowe much more diligent, for the great confidence, which I haue in you. 
\verseNumber{23}Whether any doe inquire of Titus, he is my fellowe and helper to you ward: or of our brethren, they are messengers of the Churches, and the glorie of Christ. 
\verseNumber{24}Wherefore shew toward them, and before the Churches the proofe of your loue, and of the reioycing that we haue of you.

\chapterNumber{9}For as touching the ministring to the Saints, it is superfluous for me to write vnto you. 
\verseNumber{2}For I knowe your readinesse of minde, whereof I boast my selfe of you vnto them of Macedonia, and say, that Achaia was prepared a yeere agoe, and your zeale hath prouoked many. 
\verseNumber{3}Nowe haue I sent the brethren, lest our reioycing ouer you shoulde bee in vaine in this behalfe, that yee (as I haue sayde) be readie: 
\verseNumber{4}Lest if they of Macedonia come with me, and finde you vnprepared, we (that wee may not say, you) should be ashamed in this my constant boasting. 
\verseNumber{5}Wherefore, I thought it necessarie to exhort the brethren to come before vnto you, and to finish your beneuolence appointed afore, that it might be readie, and come as of beneuolence, and not as of niggardlinesse. 
\verseNumber{6}This yet remember, that he which soweth sparingly, shall reape also sparingly, and hee that soweth liberally, shall reape also liberally. 
\verseNumber{7}As euery man wisheth in his heart, so let him giue, not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer. 
\verseNumber{8}And God is able to make all grace to abound towarde you, that yee alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all thinges, may abounde in euery good worke, 
\verseNumber{9}(As it is written, He hath sparsed abroad and hath giuen to the poore: his beneuolence remayneth for euer. 
\verseNumber{10}Also hee that findeth seede to the sower, will minister likewise bread for foode, and multiplie your seede, and increase the fruites of your beneuolence,) 
\verseNumber{11}That on all partes yee may bee made rich vnto all liberalitie, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing vnto God. 
\verseNumber{12}For the ministration of this seruice not onely supplieth the necessities of the Saintes, but also aboundantly causeth many to giue thankes to God, 
\verseNumber{13}(Which by the experiment of this ministration praise God for your voluntarie submission to the Gospell of Christ, and for your liberall distribution to them, and to all men) 
\verseNumber{14}And in their praier for you, to log after you greatly, for the aboundant grace of God in you. 
\verseNumber{15}Thankes therefore bee vnto God for his vnspeakeable gift.

\chapterNumber{10}Nowe I Paul my selfe beseech you by the meekenes, and gentlenes of Christ, which when I am present among you am base, but am bolde toward you being absent: 
\verseNumber{2}And this I require you, that I neede not to be bolde when I am present, with that same confidence, wherewith I thinke to bee bolde against some, which esteeme vs as though wee walked according to the flesh. 
\verseNumber{3}Neuerthelesse, though wee walke in the flesh, yet we doe not warre after the flesh. 
\verseNumber{4}(For the weapons of our warrefare are not carnall, but mightie through God, to cast downe holdes) 
\verseNumber{5}Casting downe the imaginations, and euery high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ, 
\verseNumber{6}And hauing ready the vengeance against all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 
\verseNumber{7}Looke yee on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himselfe that hee is Christes, let him consider this againe of himself, that as he is Christes, euen so are we Christes. 
\verseNumber{8}For though I shoulde boast somewhat more of our authoritie, which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction, I should haue no shame. 
\verseNumber{9}This I say, that I may not seeme as it were to feare you with letters. 
\verseNumber{10}For the letters, sayeth hee, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speache is of no value. 
\verseNumber{11}Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present. 
\verseNumber{12}For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they measure themselues with themselues, and compare themselues with themselues. 
\verseNumber{13}But we wil not reioyce of things, which are not within our measure, but according to the measure of the line, whereof God hath distributed vnto vs a measure to attaine euen vnto you. 
\verseNumber{14}For we stretche not our selues beyonde our measure, as though wee had not attained vnto you: for euen to you also haue we come in preaching the Gospel of Christ, 
\verseNumber{15}Not boasting of things which are without our measure: that is, of other mens labours: and we hope, when your faith shall increase, to bee magnified by you according to our line aboundantly, 
\verseNumber{16}And to preache the Gospel in those regions which are beyonde you: not to reioyce in another mans line, that is, in the thinges that are prepared alreadie.

\chapterNumber{11}Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me. 
\verseNumber{2}For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ: 
\verseNumber{3}But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ. 
\verseNumber{4}For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him. 
\verseNumber{5}Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles. 
\verseNumber{6}And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things. 
\verseNumber{7}Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely? 
\verseNumber{8}I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice. 
\verseNumber{9}And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you. 
\verseNumber{10}The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth. 
\verseNumber{12}But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce. 
\verseNumber{13}For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ. 
\verseNumber{14}And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes. 
\verseNumber{16}I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle. 
\verseNumber{17}That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting. 
\verseNumber{18}Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also. 
\verseNumber{19}For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise. 
\verseNumber{20}For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face. 
\verseNumber{21}I speake as concerning the reproche: as though that we had bene weake: but wherein any man is bold (I speake foolishly) I am bold also. 
\verseNumber{22}They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I: 
\verseNumber{23}They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a foole) I am more: in labours more aboundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prison more plenteously: in death oft. 
\verseNumber{24}Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I fourtie stripes saue one. 
\verseNumber{25}I was thrise beaten with roddes: I was once stoned: I suffered thrise shipwracke: night and day haue I bene in the deepe sea. 
\verseNumber{26}In iourneying I was often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine owne nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the citie, in perils in wildernes, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren, 
\verseNumber{27}In wearinesse and painefulnesse, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in colde and in nakednesse. 
\verseNumber{28}Beside the thinges which are outwarde, I am combred dayly, and haue the care of all the Churches. 
\verseNumber{29}Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not? 
\verseNumber{30}If I must needes reioyce, I will reioyce of mine infirmities. 
\verseNumber{31}The God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not. 
\verseNumber{32}In Damascus the gouernour of the people vnder King Aretas, layde watch in the citie of the Damascens, and would haue caught me.

\chapterNumber{12}It is not expedient for me no doubt to reioyce: for I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{2}I know a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agone, (whether he were in the body, I can not tell, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) which was taken vp into the thirde heauen. 
\verseNumber{3}And I knowe such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) 
\verseNumber{4}How that he was taken vp into Paradise, and heard words which cannot be spoken, which are not possible for man to vtter. 
\verseNumber{5}Of such a man will I reioyce: of my selfe will I not reioyce, except it bee of mine infirmities. 
\verseNumber{6}For though I woulde reioyce, I should not be a foole, for I will say the trueth: but I refraine, lest any man should thinke of me aboue that hee seeth in me, or that he heareth of me. 
\verseNumber{7}And lest I should be exalted out of measure through the aboundance of reuelations, there was giuen vnto me a pricke in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet mee, because I should not be exalted out of measure. 
\verseNumber{8}For this thing I besought the Lord thrise, that it might depart from me. 
\verseNumber{9}And he said vnto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakenesse. Very gladly therefore will I reioyce rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christes sake: for when I am weake, then am I strong. 
\verseNumber{11}I was a foole to boast my selfe: yee haue compelled mee: for I ought to haue bene commended of you: for in nothing was I inferiour vnto the very chiefe Apostles, though I bee nothing. 
\verseNumber{12}The signes of an Apostle were wrought among you with all patience, with signes, and wonders, and great workes. 
\verseNumber{13}For what is it, wherein yee were inferiours vnto other Churches, except that I haue not bene slouthfull to your hinderance? forgiue me this wrong. 
\verseNumber{14}Behold, the thirde time I am ready to come vnto you, and yet will I not be slouthfull to your hinderance: for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers, but the fathers for the children. 
\verseNumber{15}And I will most gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your soules: though the more I loue you, the lesse I am loued. 
\verseNumber{16}But bee it that I charged you not: yet for as much as I was craftie, I tooke you with guile. 
\verseNumber{17}Did I pill you by any of them whom I sent vnto you? 
\verseNumber{18}I haue desired Titus, and with him I haue sent a brother: did Titus pill you of any thing? walked we not in the selfe same spirit? walked we not in the same steppes? 
\verseNumber{19}Againe, thinke yee that wee excuse our selues vnto you? we speake before God in Christ. But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying. 
\verseNumber{20}For I feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying, wrath, contentions, backebitings, whisperings, swellings and discord. 
\verseNumber{21}I feare least when I come againe, my God abase me among you, and I shall bewaile many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed.

\chapterNumber{13}Lo this is the thirde time that I come vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde stand 
\verseNumber{2}I tolde you before, and tell you before: as though I had bene present the seconde time, so write I nowe being absent to them which heretofore haue sinned and to all others, that if I come againe, I will not spare, 
\verseNumber{3}Seeing that ye seeke experience of Christ, that speaketh in mee, which towarde you is not weake, but is mightie in you. 
\verseNumber{4}For though hee was crucified concerning his infirmitie, yet liueth hee through the power of God. And wee no doubt are weake in him, but we shall liue with him, through the power of God towarde you. 
\verseNumber{5}Proue your selues whether ye are in the faith: examine your selues: knowe yee not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 
\verseNumber{6}But I trust that ye shall knowe that wee are not reprobates. 
\verseNumber{7}Nowe I pray vnto God that yee doe none euill, not that we should seeme approued, but that ye should doe that which is honest: though we be as reprobates. 
\verseNumber{8}For wee can not doe any thing against the trueth, but for the trueth. 
\verseNumber{9}For we are glad when wee are weake, and that ye are strong: this also we wish for, euen your perfection. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore write I these thinges being absent, least when I am present, I should vse sharpenesse, according to the power which the Lord hath giuen mee, to edification, and not to destruction. 
\verseNumber{11}Finally brethren, fare ye well: be perfect: be of good comfort: be of one minde: liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you. 
\verseNumber{12}Greete one another with an holy kisse. All the Saintes salute you. 
\verseNumber{13}The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all, Amen. ‘The seconde Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, a citie in Macedonia, and sent by Titus and Lucas.’

\chapterNumber{1}Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead) 
\verseNumber{2}And all the brethren which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia: 
\verseNumber{3}Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{4}Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our Father, 
\verseNumber{5}To whom be glory for euer and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{6}I marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ, 
\verseNumber{7}Which is not another Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of Christ. 
\verseNumber{8}But though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto you, let him be accursed. 
\verseNumber{9}As we sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, let him be accursed. 
\verseNumber{10}For nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ. 
\verseNumber{11}Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man. 
\verseNumber{12}For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{13}For ye haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted it, 
\verseNumber{14}And profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 
\verseNumber{15}But when it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, and called me by his grace) 
\verseNumber{16}To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not with flesh and blood: 
\verseNumber{17}Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto Damascus. 
\verseNumber{18}Then after three yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes. 
\verseNumber{19}And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not. 
\verseNumber{21}After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia: for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ. 
\verseNumber{22}But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed. 
\verseNumber{23}And they glorified God for me. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Then fourteene yeeres after, I went vp againe to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and tooke with me Titus also. 
\verseNumber{2}And I went vp by reuelation, and declared vnto them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but particularly to them that were the chiefe, least by any meanes I should runne, or had runne in vaine: 
\verseNumber{3}But neither yet Titus which was with me, though he were a Grecian, was compelled to be circumcised, 
\verseNumber{4}To wit, for the false brethren which were craftily sent in, and crept in priuily to spie out our libertie, which we haue in Christ Iesus, that they might bring vs into bondage. 
\verseNumber{5}To whom we gaue not place by subiection for an houre, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you. 
\verseNumber{6}But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatsoeuer they were in time passed, I am nothing the better: God accepteth no mans person) for they that are the chiefe, did adde nothing to me aboue that I had. 
\verseNumber{7}But contrariwise, when they saw that ye Gospel ouer ye vncircumcision was comitted vnto me, as the Gospel ouer ye circumcision was vnto Peter: 
\verseNumber{8}(For he that was mightie by Peter in the Apostleship ouer the circumcision, was also mightie by me toward the Gentiles) 
\verseNumber{9}And when Iames, and Cephas, and Iohn, knew of the grace that was giuen vnto me, which are counted to be pillars, they gaue to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should preach vnto the Gentiles, and they vnto the Circumcision, 
\verseNumber{10}Warning onely that we should remember the poore: which thing also I was diligent to doe. 
\verseNumber{11}And when Peter was come to Antiochia, I withstood him to his face: for he was to be condemned. 
\verseNumber{12}For before that certaine came from Iames, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcision. 
\verseNumber{13}And the other Iewes played the hypocrites likewise with him, in so much that Barnabas was led away with them by that their hypocrisie. 
\verseNumber{14}But when I saw, that they went not ye right way to the trueth of ye Gospel, I sayd vnto Peter before all men, If thou being a Iewe, liuest as the Gentiles, and not like the Iewes, why constrainest thou the Gentiles to doe like the Iewes? 
\verseNumber{15}We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 
\verseNumber{16}Knowe that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by ye faith of Iesus Christ, euen we, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Lawe, because that by the workes of the Lawe, no flesh shalbe iustified. 
\verseNumber{17}If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid. 
\verseNumber{18}For if I build againe the things that I haue destroyed, I make my selfe a trespasser. 
\verseNumber{19}For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God. 
\verseNumber{20}I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me. 
\verseNumber{21}I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the trueth, to whome Iesus Christ before was described in your sight, and among you crucified? 
\verseNumber{2}This only would I learne of you, Receiued ye the Spirit by the workes of the Lawe, or by the hearing of faith preached? 
\verseNumber{3}Are ye so foolish, that after ye haue begun in the Spirit, ye would now be made perfect by the flesh? 
\verseNumber{4}Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if so be it be euen in vaine. 
\verseNumber{5}He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it through the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith preached? 
\verseNumber{6}Yea rather as Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed to him for righteousnes. 
\verseNumber{7}Knowe ye therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 
\verseNumber{8}For the Scripture foreseeing, that God would iustifie the Gentiles through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the Gentiles be blessed. 
\verseNumber{9}So then they which be of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham. 
\verseNumber{10}For as many as are of the workes of the Lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them. 
\verseNumber{11}And that no man is iustified by the Law in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by faith. 
\verseNumber{12}And the Lawe is not of faith: but the man that shall doe those things, shall liue in them. 
\verseNumber{13}Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Lawe, made a curse for vs, (for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree) 
\verseNumber{14}That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Iesus, that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirite through faith. 
\verseNumber{15}Brethren, I speake as men do: though it be but a mans couenant, when it is confirmed, yet no man doeth abrogate it, or addeth any thing thereto. 
\verseNumber{16}Nowe to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. Hee saith not, And to the seedes, as speaking of many: but, And to thy seede, as of one, which is Christ. 
\verseNumber{17}And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect. 
\verseNumber{18}For if the inheritance be of the Lawe, it is no more by the promise, but God gaue it freely vnto Abraham by promise. 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour. 
\verseNumber{20}Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one. 
\verseNumber{21}Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{22}But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue. 
\verseNumber{23}But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled. 
\verseNumber{24}Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith. 
\verseNumber{25}But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster. 
\verseNumber{26}For ye are al the sonnes of God by faith, in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{27}For all ye that are baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ. 
\verseNumber{28}There is neither Iewe nor Grecian: there is neither bonde nor free: there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{29}And if ye be Christes, then are ye Abrahams seede, and heires by promise. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Then I say, that the heire as long as hee is a childe, differeth nothing from a seruant, though he be Lord of all, 
\verseNumber{2}But is vnder tutours and gouernours, vntil the time appointed of the Father. 
\verseNumber{3}Euen so, we when wee were children, were in bondage vnder the rudiments of the world. 
\verseNumber{4}But when the fulnesse of time was come, God sent forth his Sonne made of a woman, and made vnder the Lawe, 
\verseNumber{5}That hee might redeeme them which were vnder the Law, that we might receiue the adoption of the sonnes. 
\verseNumber{6}And because ye are sonnes, God hath sent foorth the Spirit of his Sonne into your heartes, which crieth, Abba, Father. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore, thou art no more a seruant, but a sonne: now if thou be a sone, thou art also the heire of God through Christ. 
\verseNumber{8}But euen then, when ye knewe not God, yee did seruice vnto them, which by nature are not gods: 
\verseNumber{9}But now seeing ye knowe God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye againe vnto impotent and beggerly rudiments, whereunto as from the beginning ye wil be in bondage againe? 
\verseNumber{10}Ye obserue dayes, and moneths, and times and yeeres. 
\verseNumber{11}I am in feare of you, lest I haue bestowed on you labour in vaine. 
\verseNumber{12}Be ye as I (for I am euen as you) brethren, I beseech you: ye haue not hurt me at all. 
\verseNumber{13}And ye know, how through infirmitie of the flesh, I preached ye Gospel vnto you at the first. 
\verseNumber{14}And the trial of me which was in my flesh, ye despised not, neither abhorred: but ye receiued me as an Angel of God, yea, as Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{15}What was then your felicitie? for I beare you recorde, that if it had bene possible, ye would haue plucked out your owne eyes, and haue giuen them vnto me. 
\verseNumber{16}Am I therefore become your enemie, because I tell you the trueth? 
\verseNumber{17}They are ielous ouer you amisse: yea, they woulde exclude you, that ye shoulde altogether loue them. 
\verseNumber{18}But it is a good thing to loue earnestly alwayes in a good thing, and not onely when I am present with you, 
\verseNumber{19}My litle children, of whome I trauaile in birth againe, vntill Christ be formed in you. 
\verseNumber{20}And I would I were with you nowe, that I might change my voyce: for I am in doubt of you. 
\verseNumber{21}Tell me, ye that will be vnder the Law, doe ye not heare the Lawe? 
\verseNumber{22}For it is written, that Abraham had two sonnes, one by a seruant, and one by a free woman. 
\verseNumber{23}But he which was of the seruant, was borne after the flesh: and he which was of the free woman, was borne by promise. 
\verseNumber{24}By the which things another thing is meant: for these mothers are the two testaments, the one which is Agar of mount Sina, which gendreth vnto bondage. 
\verseNumber{25}(For Agar or Sina is a mountaine in Arabia, and it answereth to Hierusalem which nowe is) and she is in bondage with her children. 
\verseNumber{26}But Hierusalem, which is aboue, is free: which is the mother of vs all. 
\verseNumber{27}For it is written, Reioyce thou barren that bearest no children: breake forth, and cry, thou that trauailest not: for the desolate hath many moe children, then she which hath an husband. 
\verseNumber{28}Therefore, brethren, wee are after the maner of Isaac, children of the promise. 
\verseNumber{29}But as then hee that was borne after the flesh, persecuted him that was borne after the Spirit, euen so it is nowe. 
\verseNumber{30}But what sayth the Scripture? Put out the seruant and her sonne: for the sonne of the seruant shall not be heire with the sonne of the free woman. 
\verseNumber{31}Then brethren, we are not children of the seruant, but of the free woman. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and be not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage. 
\verseNumber{2}Beholde, I Paul say vnto you, that if yee be circumcised, Christ shall profite you nothing. 
\verseNumber{3}For I testifie againe to euery man, which is circumcised, that he is bound to keepe the whole Lawe. 
\verseNumber{4}Ye are abolished from Christ: whosoeuer are iustified by the Law, ye are fallen from grace. 
\verseNumber{5}For we through the Spirit waite for the hope of righteousnes through faith. 
\verseNumber{6}For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing, neither vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue. 
\verseNumber{7}Ye did runne well: who did let you, that ye did not obey the trueth? 
\verseNumber{8}It is not the perswasion of him that calleth you. 
\verseNumber{9}A litle leauen doeth leauen the whole lumpe. 
\verseNumber{10}I haue trust in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but hee that troubleth you, shall beare his condemnation, whosoeuer he be. 
\verseNumber{11}And brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why doe I yet suffer persecution? Then is the slaunder of the crosse abolished. 
\verseNumber{12}Would to God they were euen cut off, which doe disquiet you. 
\verseNumber{13}For brethren, ye haue bene called vnto libertie: onely vse not your libertie as an occasion vnto the flesh, but by loue serue one another. 
\verseNumber{14}For all the Lawe is fulfilled in one worde, which is this, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{15}If ye bite and deuoure one another, take heede least ye be consumed one of another. 
\verseNumber{16}Then I say, Walke in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lustes of the flesh. 
\verseNumber{17}For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary one to another, so that ye can not doe the same things that ye would. 
\verseNumber{18}And if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not vnder the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{19}Moreouer the workes of the flesh are manifest, which are adulterie, fornication, vncleannes, wantonnes, 
\verseNumber{20}Idolatrie, witchcraft, hatred, debate, emulations, wrath, contentions, seditions, heresies, 
\verseNumber{21}Enuie, murthers, drunkennesse, gluttonie, and such like, whereof I tell you before, as I also haue tolde you before, that they which doe such things, shall not inherite the kingdome of God. 
\verseNumber{22}But the fruite of the Spirit is loue, ioye, peace, long suffering, gentlenes, goodnes, fayth, 
\verseNumber{23}Meekenesse, temperancie: against such there is no lawe. 
\verseNumber{24}For they that are Christes, haue crucified the flesh with the affections and the lustes. 
\verseNumber{25}If we liue in the Spirit, let vs also walke in the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{26}Let vs not be desirous of vaine glorie, prouoking one another, enuying one another. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Brethren, if a man be suddenly taken in any offence, ye which are spirituall, restore such one with the spirit of meekenes, considering thy selfe, least thou also be tempted. 
\verseNumber{2}Beare ye one anothers burden, and so fulfill the Lawe of Christ. 
\verseNumber{3}For if any man seeme to himselfe, that he is somewhat, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe in his imagination. 
\verseNumber{4}But let euery man prooue his owne worke: and then shall he haue reioycing in himselfe onely and not in another. 
\verseNumber{5}For euery man shall beare his owne burden. 
\verseNumber{6}Let him that is taught in the worde, make him that hath taught him, partaker of all his goods. 
\verseNumber{7}Be not deceiued: God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall hee also reape. 
\verseNumber{8}For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but hee that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting. 
\verseNumber{9}Let vs not therefore be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not. 
\verseNumber{10}While we haue therefore time, let vs doe good vnto all men, but specially vnto them, which are of the housholde of faith. 
\verseNumber{11}Ye see how large a letter I haue written vnto you with mine owne hand. 
\verseNumber{12}As many as desire to make a faire shewe in the flesh, they constraine you to be circumcised, onely because they would not suffer persecution for the crosse of Christ. 
\verseNumber{13}For they themselues which are circumcised keepe not the law, but desire to haue you circumcised, that they might reioyce in your flesh. 
\verseNumber{14}But God forbid that I should reioyce, but in ye crosse of our Lord Iesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified vnto me, and I vnto ye world. 
\verseNumber{15}For in Christ Iesus neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature. 
\verseNumber{16}And as many as walke according to this rule, peace shalbe vpon them, and mercie, and vpon the Israel of God. 
\verseNumber{17}From henceforth let no man put me to busines: for I beare in my body the markes of the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{18}Brethren, the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen. ‘Vnto the Galatians written from Rome.’

\chapterNumber{1}Pavl an Apostle of Jesvs Christ by the will of God, to the Saints, which are at Ephesus, and to ye faithfull in Christ Iesus: 
\verseNumber{2}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{3}Blessed be God, and the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessing in heauenly thinges in Christ, 
\verseNumber{4}As hee hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the worlde, that we should be holy, and without blame before him in loue: 
\verseNumber{5}Who hath predestinate vs, to be adopted through Iesus Christ in him selfe, according to the good pleasure of his will, 
\verseNumber{6}To the prayse of the glory of his grace, wherewith he hath made vs freely accepted in his beloued, 
\verseNumber{7}By whom we haue redemption through his blood, euen the forgiuenes of sinnes, according to his rich grace: 
\verseNumber{8}Whereby he hath bene aboundant toward vs in all wisedome and vnderstanding, 
\verseNumber{9}And hath opened vnto vs the mysterie of his will according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in him, 
\verseNumber{10}That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of the times, he might gather together in one all things, both which are in heauen, and which are in earth, euen in Christ: 
\verseNumber{11}In whom also we are chosen when we were predestinate according to ye purpose of him, which worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will, 
\verseNumber{12}That we, which first trusted in Christ, should be vnto the praise of his glorie: 
\verseNumber{13}In whom also ye haue trusted, after that ye heard the worde of trueth, euen the Gospel of your saluation, wherein also after that ye beleeued, ye were sealed with the holy Spirite of promise, 
\verseNumber{14}Which is the earnest of our inheritance, for the redemption of that libertie purchased vnto the prayse of his glory. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore also after that I heard of the faith, which ye haue in the Lord Iesus, and loue toward all the Saints, 
\verseNumber{16}I cease not to giue thankes for you, making mention of you in my prayers, 
\verseNumber{17}That the God of our Lord Iesus Christ, that Father of glory, might giue vnto you the Spirit of wisedome, and reuelation through the acknowledging of him, 
\verseNumber{18}That the eyes of your vnderstanding may be lightened, that ye may knowe what the hope is of his calling, and what the riches of his glorious inheritance is in the Saints, 
\verseNumber{19}And what is the exceeding greatnesse of his power toward vs, which beleeue, according to the working of his mightie power, 
\verseNumber{20}Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his right hand in the heauenly places, 
\verseNumber{21}Farre aboue al principalitie, and power, and might, and domination, and euery Name, that is named, not in this world only, but also in that that is to come, 
\verseNumber{22}And hath made all things subiect vnder his feete, and hath giuen him ouer all things to be the head to the Church, 
\verseNumber{23}Which is his body, euen the fulnesse of him that filleth all in all things. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes, 
\verseNumber{2}Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, 
\verseNumber{3}Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others. 
\verseNumber{4}But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs, 
\verseNumber{5}Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued, 
\verseNumber{6}And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus, 
\verseNumber{7}That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{8}For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God, 
\verseNumber{9}Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe. 
\verseNumber{10}For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands, 
\verseNumber{12}That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world. 
\verseNumber{13}But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ. 
\verseNumber{14}For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall, 
\verseNumber{15}In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace, 
\verseNumber{16}And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby, 
\verseNumber{17}And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere. 
\verseNumber{18}For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit. 
\verseNumber{19}Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God, 
\verseNumber{20}And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone, 
\verseNumber{21}In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{22}In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.

\chapterNumber{3}For this cause, I Paul am the prisoner of Iesus Christ for you Gentiles, 
\verseNumber{2}If ye haue heard of the dispensation of the grace of God, which is giuen me to you warde, 
\verseNumber{3}That is, that God by reuelation hath shewed this mysterie vnto me (as I wrote aboue in fewe wordes, 
\verseNumber{4}Whereby when ye reade, ye may knowe mine vnderstanding in the mysterie of Christ) 
\verseNumber{5}Which in other ages was not opened vnto the sonnes of men, as it is nowe reueiled vnto his holy Apostles and Prophets by the Spirit, 
\verseNumber{6}That the Gentiles should be inheriters also, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the Gospel, 
\verseNumber{7}Whereof I am made a minister by the gift of the grace of God giuen vnto me through the effectuall working of his power. 
\verseNumber{8}Euen vnto me the least of all Saints is this grace giuen, that I should preach among the Gentiles the vnsearchable riches of Christ, 
\verseNumber{9}And to make cleare vnto all men what the fellowship of the mysterie is, which from the beginning of the world hath bene hid in God, who hath created all things by Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{10}To the intent, that nowe vnto principalities and powers in heauenly places, might be knowen by the Church the manifolde wisedome of God, 
\verseNumber{11}According to the eternall purpose, which he wrought in Christ Iesus our Lord: 
\verseNumber{12}By whom we haue boldenes and entrance with confidence, by faith in him. 
\verseNumber{13}Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for your sakes, which is your glory. 
\verseNumber{14}For this cause I bowe my knees vnto the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{15}(Of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth) 
\verseNumber{16}That he might graunt you according to the riches of his glorie, that ye may be strengthened by his Spirit in the inner man, 
\verseNumber{17}That Christ may dwell in your heartes by faith: 
\verseNumber{18}That ye, being rooted and grounded in loue, may be able to comprehend with al Saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height: 
\verseNumber{19}And to knowe the loue of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all fulnesse of God. 
\verseNumber{20}Vnto him therefore that is able to do exceeding aboundantly aboue all that we aske or thinke, according to the power that worketh in vs, 
\verseNumber{21}Be praise in the Church by Christ Iesus, throughout all generations for euer, Amen.

\chapterNumber{4}I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called, 
\verseNumber{2}With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue, 
\verseNumber{3}Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 
\verseNumber{4}There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation. 
\verseNumber{5}There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme, 
\verseNumber{6}One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all. 
\verseNumber{7}But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

\verseNumber{10}Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things) 
\verseNumber{11}Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers, 
\verseNumber{12}For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ, 
\verseNumber{13}Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ, 
\verseNumber{14}That we henceforth be no more children, wauering and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the deceit of men, and with craftines, whereby they lay in wait to deceiue. 
\verseNumber{15}But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ. 
\verseNumber{16}By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue. 
\verseNumber{17}This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde, 
\verseNumber{18}Hauing their vnderstanding darkened, and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardnesse of their heart: 
\verseNumber{19}Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse. 
\verseNumber{20}But yee haue not so learned Christ, 
\verseNumber{21}If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus, 
\verseNumber{22}That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes, 
\verseNumber{23}And be renued in the spirit of your minde, 
\verseNumber{24}And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines. 
\verseNumber{25}Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 
\verseNumber{26}Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath, 
\verseNumber{27}Neither giue place to the deuill. 
\verseNumber{28}Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth. 
\verseNumber{29}Let no corrupt comunication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good, to ye vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers. 
\verseNumber{30}And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption. 
\verseNumber{31}Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse. 
\verseNumber{32}Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.

\chapterNumber{5}Bee yee therefore followers of God, as deare children, 
\verseNumber{2}And walke in loue, euen as Christ hath loued vs, and hath giuen himselfe for vs, to be an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellling sauour to God. 
\verseNumber{3}But fornication, and all vncleannesse, or couetousnesse, let it not be once named among you, as it becommeth Saintes, 
\verseNumber{4}Neither filthinesse, neither foolish talking, neither iesting, which are things not comely, but rather giuing of thankes. 
\verseNumber{5}For this ye know, that no whoremonger, neither vncleane person, nor couetous person, which is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdome of Christ, and of God. 
\verseNumber{6}Let no man deceiue you with vaine wordes: for, for such thinges commeth the wrath of God vpon the children of disobedience. 
\verseNumber{7}Be not therefore companions with them. 
\verseNumber{8}For ye were once darkenesse, but are nowe light in the Lord: walke as children of light, 
\verseNumber{9}(For the fruit of the Spirit is in al goodnes, and righteousnes, and trueth) 
\verseNumber{10}Approuing that which is pleasing to the Lord. 
\verseNumber{11}And haue no fellowship with ye vnfruitfull works of darknes, but euen reproue them rather. 
\verseNumber{12}For it is shame euen to speake of the things which are done of them in secret. 
\verseNumber{13}But all thinges when they are reproued of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest. 
\verseNumber{14}Wherefore hee sayeth, Awake thou that sleepest, and stande vp from the deade, and Christ shall giue thee light. 
\verseNumber{15}Take heede therefore that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise, 
\verseNumber{16}Redeeming ye season: for ye daies are euill. 
\verseNumber{17}Wherefore, be ye not vnwise, but vnderstand what the will of the Lord is. 
\verseNumber{18}And be not drunke with wine, wherein is excesse: but be fulfilled with the Spirit, 
\verseNumber{19}Speaking vnto your selues in psalmes, and hymnes, and spirituall songs, singing, and making melodie to the Lord in your hearts, 
\verseNumber{20}Giuing thankes alwaies for all thinges vnto God euen the Father, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{21}Submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God. 
\verseNumber{22}Wiues, submit your selues vnto your husbands, as vnto the Lord. 
\verseNumber{23}For the husband is the wiues head, euen as Christ is the head of the Church, and the same is the sauiour of his body. 
\verseNumber{24}Therfore as the Church is in subiection to Christ, euen so let the wiues be to their husbands in euery thing. 
\verseNumber{25}Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it, 
\verseNumber{26}That hee might sanctifie it, and clense it by the washing of water through the worde, 
\verseNumber{27}That hee might make it vnto him selfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinkle, or any such thing: but that it shoulde bee holy and without blame. 
\verseNumber{28}So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: he that loueth his wife, loueth him selfe. 
\verseNumber{29}For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord doeth the Church. 
\verseNumber{30}For we are members of his bodie, of his flesh, and of his bones. 
\verseNumber{31}For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife, and they twaine shalbe one flesh. 
\verseNumber{32}This is a great secrete, but I speake concerning Christ, and concerning the Church. 
\verseNumber{33}Therefore euery one of you, doe ye so: let euery one loue his wife, euen as himselfe, and let the wife see that shee feare her husband. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 
\verseNumber{2}Honour thy father and mother (which is the first commandement with promise) 
\verseNumber{3}That it may be well with thee, and that thou mayst liue long on earth. 
\verseNumber{4}And ye, fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in instruction and information of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{5}Seruants, be obedient vnto them that are your masters, according to the flesh, with feare and trembling in singlenesse of your hearts as vnto Christ, 
\verseNumber{6}Not with seruice to the eye, as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, 
\verseNumber{7}With good will, seruing the Lord, and not men. 
\verseNumber{8}And knowe ye that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, that same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 
\verseNumber{9}And ye masters, doe the same things vnto them, putting away threatning: and know that euen your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of person with him. 
\verseNumber{10}Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 
\verseNumber{11}Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the assaultes of the deuil. 
\verseNumber{12}For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly gouernours, the princes of the darkenesse of this worlde, against spirituall wickednesses, which are in ye hie places. 
\verseNumber{13}For this cause take vnto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the euill day, and hauing finished all things, stand fast. 
\verseNumber{14}Stand therefore, and your loynes girded about with veritie, and hauing on the brest plate of righteousnesse, 
\verseNumber{15}And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace. 
\verseNumber{16}Aboue all, take the shielde of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked, 
\verseNumber{17}And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the worde of God. 
\verseNumber{18}And pray alwayes with all maner prayer and supplication in the Spirit: and watch thereunto with all perseuerance and supplication for al Saints, 
\verseNumber{19}And for me, that vtterance may be giuen vnto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to publish the secret of the Gospel, 
\verseNumber{20}Whereof I am the ambassadour in bonds, that therein I may speake boldely, as I ought to speake. 
\verseNumber{21}But that ye may also know mine affaires, and what I doe, Tychicus my deare brother and faithfull minister in the Lord, shall shewe you of all things, 
\verseNumber{22}Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that ye might knowe mine affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts. 
\verseNumber{23}Peace be with the brethren, and loue with faith from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{24}Grace be with all them which loue our Lord Iesus Christ, to their immortalitie, Amen. ‘Written from Rome vnto the Ephesians, and sent by Tychicus.’

\chapterNumber{1}Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons: 
\verseNumber{2}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{3}I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie, 
\verseNumber{4}(Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse) 
\verseNumber{5}Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe. 
\verseNumber{6}And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{7}As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace. 
\verseNumber{8}For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{9}And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement, 
\verseNumber{10}That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ, 
\verseNumber{11}Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God. 
\verseNumber{12}I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell, 
\verseNumber{13}So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places, 
\verseNumber{14}In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word. 
\verseNumber{15}Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will. 
\verseNumber{16}The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes. 
\verseNumber{17}But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell. 
\verseNumber{18}What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye. 
\verseNumber{19}For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{20}As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. 
\verseNumber{21}For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage. 
\verseNumber{22}And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not. 
\verseNumber{23}For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all. 
\verseNumber{24}Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you. 
\verseNumber{25}And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith, 
\verseNumber{26}That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe. 
\verseNumber{27}Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{28}And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God. 
\verseNumber{29}For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake, 
\verseNumber{30}Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}If there be therfore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and mercie, 
\verseNumber{2}Fulfill my ioye, that ye be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accorde, and of one iudgement, 
\verseNumber{3}That nothing be done through contention or vaine glory, but that in meekenesse of minde euery man esteeme other better then himselfe. 
\verseNumber{4}Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of other men. 
\verseNumber{5}Let the same minde be in you that was euen in Christ Iesus, 
\verseNumber{6}Who being in ye forme of God, thought it no robberie to be equall with God: 
\verseNumber{7}But he made himself of no reputation, and tooke on him ye forme of a seruant, and was made like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man. 
\verseNumber{8}He humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse. 
\verseNumber{9}Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name aboue euery name, 
\verseNumber{10}That at the Name of Iesus shoulde euery knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth, 
\verseNumber{11}And that euery tongue shoulde confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of God the Father. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore my beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so make an end of your owne saluation with feare and trembling. 
\verseNumber{13}For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure. 
\verseNumber{14}Do all things without murmuring and reasonings, 
\verseNumber{15}That ye may be blamelesse, and pure, and the sonnes of God without rebuke in the middes of a naughtie and crooked nation, among whom yee shine as lights in the world, 
\verseNumber{16}Holding forth the worde of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine. 
\verseNumber{17}Yea, and though I bee offered vp vpon the sacrifice, and seruice of your faith, I am glad, and reioyce with you all. 
\verseNumber{18}For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce with me. 
\verseNumber{19}And I trust in the Lord Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I knowe your state. 
\verseNumber{20}For I haue no man like minded, who will faithfully care for your matters. 
\verseNumber{21}For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes. 
\verseNumber{22}But yee knowe the proofe of him, that as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me in the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{23}Him therefore I hope to send assoone as I knowe howe it will goe with me, 
\verseNumber{24}And trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly. 
\verseNumber{25}But I supposed it necessarie to sende my brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in labour, and fellowe souldier, euen your messenger, and he that ministred vnto me such things as I wanted. 
\verseNumber{26}For he longed after all you, and was full of heauinesse, because yee had heard that hee had beene sicke. 
\verseNumber{27}And no doubt he was sicke, very neere vnto death: but God had mercie on him, and not on him onely, but on me also, least I should haue sorowe vpon sorowe. 
\verseNumber{28}I sent him therefore the more diligently, that when yee shoulde see him againe, yee might reioyce, and I might be the lesse sorowfull. 
\verseNumber{29}Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and make much of such: 
\verseNumber{30}Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Moreouer, my brethren, reioyce in the Lord. It grieueth mee not to write the same things to you, and for you it is a sure thing. 
\verseNumber{2}Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers: beware of the concision. 
\verseNumber{3}For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus, and haue no confidence in the flesh: 
\verseNumber{4}Though I might also haue confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I, 
\verseNumber{5}Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, an Ebrewe of the Ebrewes, by the Lawe a Pharise. 
\verseNumber{6}Concerning zeale, I persecuted ye Church: touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law, I was vnrebukeable. 
\verseNumber{7}But the thinges that were vantage vnto me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake. 
\verseNumber{8}Yea, doubtlesse I thinke all thinges but losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ Iesus my Lord, for whome I haue counted all things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue, that I might winne Christ, 
\verseNumber{9}And might bee founde in him, that is, not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of God through faith, 
\verseNumber{10}That I may know him, and the vertue of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his afflictions, and be made conformable vnto his death, 
\verseNumber{11}If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the resurrection of the dead: 
\verseNumber{12}Not as though I had alreadie attained to it, either were alreadie perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am comprehended of Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{13}Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto that which is before, 
\verseNumber{14}And follow hard toward the marke, for the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{15}Let vs therefore as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded, God shall reueile euen the same vnto you. 
\verseNumber{16}Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may minde one thing. 
\verseNumber{17}Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an ensample. 
\verseNumber{18}For many walke, of whom I haue told you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ: 
\verseNumber{19}Whose ende is damnation, whose God is their bellie, and whose glorie is to their shame, which minde earthly things. 
\verseNumber{20}But our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, euen the Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{21}Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working, whereby hee is able euen to subdue all things vnto him selfe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Therefore, my brethre, beloued and longed for, my ioy and my crowne, so continue in the Lord, yee beloued. 
\verseNumber{2}I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of one accord in the Lord, 
\verseNumber{3}Yea, and I beseech thee, faithfull yokefellow, helpe those women, which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowe labourers, whose names are in the booke of life. 
\verseNumber{4}Reioyce in the Lord alway, againe I say, reioyce. 
\verseNumber{5}Let your patient minde be knowen vnto all men. The Lord is at hand. 
\verseNumber{6}Be nothing carefull, but in all thinges let your requestes be shewed vnto God in praier, and supplication with giuing of thankes. 
\verseNumber{7}And the peace of God which passeth all vnderstanding, shall preserue your heartes and mindes in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{8}Furthermore, brethre, whatsoeuer things are true, whatsoeuer things are honest, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thinges are pure, whatsoeuer thinges are worthie loue, whatsoeuer things are of good report, if there be any vertue, or if there be any praise, thinke on these things, 
\verseNumber{9}Which yee haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee: those things doe, and the God of peace shalbe with you. 
\verseNumber{10}Nowe I reioyce also in the Lord greatly, that nowe at the last your care for mee springeth afresh, wherein notwithstanding ye were careful, but yee lacked opportunitie. 
\verseNumber{11}I speake not because of want: for I haue learned in whatsoeuer state I am, therewith to bee content. 
\verseNumber{12}And I can be abased, and I can abounde: euery where in all things I am instructed, both to be full, and to be hungrie, and to abounde, and to haue want. 
\verseNumber{13}I am able to do al things through the helpe of Christ, which strengtheneth me. 
\verseNumber{14}Notwithstanding yee haue well done, that yee did communicate to mine affliction. 
\verseNumber{15}And yee Philippians knowe also that in the beginning of the Gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church communicated with me, concerning the matter of giuing and receiuing, but yee onely. 
\verseNumber{16}For euen when I was in Thessalonica, yee sent once, and afterward againe for my necessitie, 
\verseNumber{17}Not that I desire a gift: but I desire the fruit which may further your reckoning. 
\verseNumber{18}Now I haue receiued all, and haue plentie: I was euen filled, after that I had receiued of Epaphroditus that which came from you, an odour that smellleth sweete, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasant to God. 
\verseNumber{19}And my God shall fulfill all your necessities through his riches with glorie in Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{20}Vnto God euen our Father be praise for euermore, Amen. 
\verseNumber{21}Salute all the Saintes in Christ Iesus. The brethren, which are with me, greete you. 
\verseNumber{22}All the Saintes salute you, and most of all they which are of Cesars houshold. 
\verseNumber{23}The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, Amen. ‘Written to the Philippians from Rome, and sent by Epaphroditus.’

\verseNumber{3}We giue thankes to God euen ye Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, alway praying for you:

\verseNumber{19}For it pleased the Father, that in him should all fulnesse dwell, 
\verseNumber{20}And through peace made by that blood of that his crosse, to reconcile to himselfe through him, through him, I say, all thinges, both which are in earth, and which are in heauen.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Pavl, and Siluanus, and Timotheus, vnto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God the Father, and in the Lord Iesus Christ: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{2}We giue God thankes alwayes for you all, making mention of you in our prayers 
\verseNumber{3}Without ceasing, remembring your effectuall faith, and diligent loue, and the patience of your hope in our Lord Iesus Christ, in the sight of God euen our Father, 
\verseNumber{4}Knowing, beloued brethren, that ye are elect of God. 
\verseNumber{5}For our Gospell was not vnto you in worde only, but also in power, and in the holy Ghost, and in much assurance, as ye know after what maner we were among you for your sakes. 
\verseNumber{6}And ye became followers of vs, and of the Lord, and receiued the worde in much affliction, with ioy of the holy Ghost, 
\verseNumber{7}So that ye were as ensamples to all that beleeue in Macedonia and in Achaia. 
\verseNumber{8}For from you sounded out the worde of the Lord, not in Macedonia and in Achaia only: but your faith also which is toward God, spred abroad in all quarters, that we neede not to speake any thing. 
\verseNumber{9}For they themselues shew of vs what maner of entring in we had vnto you, and how ye turned to God from idoles, to serue the liuing and true God, 
\verseNumber{10}And to looke for his sonne from heauen, whome he raised from the dead, euen Iesus which deliuereth vs from that wrath to come. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}For ye your selues knowe, brethren, that our entrance in vnto you was not in vaine, 
\verseNumber{2}But euen after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated at Philippi, (as ye knowe) we were bolde in our God, to speake vnto you the Gospell of God with much striuing. 
\verseNumber{3}For our exhortation was not by deceite, nor by vncleannes, nor by guile. 
\verseNumber{4}But as we were allowed of God, that the Gospel should be committed vnto vs, so we speake, not as they that please men, but God, which approoueth our hearts. 
\verseNumber{5}Neither yet did we euer vse flattering wordes, as ye knowe, nor coloured couetousnes, God is recorde. 
\verseNumber{6}Neither sought we prayse of men, neither of you, nor of others, when we might haue bene chargeable, as the Apostles of Christ. 
\verseNumber{7}But we were gentle among you, euen as a nource cherisheth her children. 
\verseNumber{8}Thus being affectioned toward you, our good will was to haue dealt vnto you, not the Gospel of God onely, but also our owne soules, because ye were deare vnto vs. 
\verseNumber{9}For ye remember, brethren, our labour and trauaile: for we laboured day and night, because we would not be chargeable vnto any of you, and preached vnto you the Gospel of God. 
\verseNumber{10}Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, and iustly, and vnblameably we behaued our selues among you that beleeue. 
\verseNumber{11}As ye knowe how that we exhorted you, and comforted, and besought euery one of you (as a father his children) 
\verseNumber{12}That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glorie. 
\verseNumber{13}For this cause also thanke we God without ceasing, that when ye receiued the worde of God, which ye heard of vs, ye receiued it not as the worde of men, but as it is in deede the worde of God, which also worketh in you that beleeue. 
\verseNumber{14}For brethren, ye are become folowers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus, because ye haue also suffred the same things of your owne countrey men, euen as they haue of the Iewes, 
\verseNumber{15}Who both killed the Lord Iesus and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs away, and God they please not, and are contrary to all men, 
\verseNumber{16}And forbid vs to preach vnto the Gentiles, that they might be saued, to fulfill their sinnes alwayes: for the wrath of God is come on them, to the vtmost. 
\verseNumber{17}For asmuch, brethren, as we were kept from you for a season, concerning sight, but not in the heart, we enforced the more to see your face with great desire. 
\verseNumber{18}Therefore we would haue come vnto you (I Paul, at least once or twise) but Satan hindered vs. 
\verseNumber{19}For what is our hope or ioye, or crowne of reioycing? are not euen you it in the presence of our Lord Iesus Christ at his comming? 
\verseNumber{20}Yea, ye are our glory and ioy. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Wherefore since we could no longer forbare, wee thought it good to remaine at Athens alone, 
\verseNumber{2}And haue sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our labour felow in the Gospel of Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you touching your faith, 
\verseNumber{3}That no man should be moued with these afflictions: for ye your selues knowe, that we are appointed thereunto. 
\verseNumber{4}For verily when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulations, euen as it came to passe, and ye knowe it. 
\verseNumber{5}Euen for this cause, when I could no longer forbeare, I sent him that I might knowe of your faith, lest the tempter had tempted you in any sort, and that our labour had bene in vaine. 
\verseNumber{6}But now lately when Timotheus came from you vnto vs, and brought vs good tidings of your faith and loue, and that ye haue good remembrance of vs alwayes, desiring to see vs, as we also do you, 
\verseNumber{7}Therefore, brethren, we had consolation in you, in all our affliction and necessitie through your faith. 
\verseNumber{8}For nowe are wee aliue, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{9}For what thankes can wee recompense to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith we reioyce for your sakes before our God, 
\verseNumber{10}Night and day, praying exceedingly that wee might see your face, and might accomplish that which is lacking in your faith? 
\verseNumber{11}Nowe God himselfe, euen our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ, guide our iourney vnto you, 
\verseNumber{12}And the Lord increase you, and make you abound in loue one toward another, and towarde all men, euen as we doe toward you: 
\verseNumber{13}To make your hearts stable and vnblameable in holines before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}And furthermore we beseeche you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Iesus, that ye increase more and more, as ye haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God. 
\verseNumber{2}For ye knowe what commandements we gaue you by the Lord Iesus. 
\verseNumber{3}For this is the will of God euen your sanctification, and that ye should abstaine from fornication, 
\verseNumber{4}That euery one of you should know, how to possesse his vessell in holines and honour, 
\verseNumber{5}And not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God: 
\verseNumber{6}That no man oppresse or defraude his brother in any matter: for the Lord is auenger of all such thinges, as we also haue tolde you before time, and testified. 
\verseNumber{7}For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse. 
\verseNumber{8}Hee therefore that despiseth these thinges, despiseth not man, but God who hath euen giuen you his holy Spirit. 
\verseNumber{9}But as touching brotherly loue, ye neede not that I write vnto you: for ye are taught of God to loue one another. 
\verseNumber{10}Yea, and that thing verily yee doe vnto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more, 
\verseNumber{11}And that ye studie to be quiet, and to meddle with your owne busines, and to worke with your owne handes, as we commanded you, 
\verseNumber{12}That yee may behaue your selues honestly towarde them that are without, and that nothing be lacking vnto you. 
\verseNumber{13}I would not, brethren, haue you ignorant concerning them which are a sleepe, that ye sorow not euen as other which haue no hope. 
\verseNumber{14}For if we beleeue that Iesus is dead, and is risen, euen so them which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him. 
\verseNumber{15}For this say we vnto you by the worde of the Lord, that we which liue, and are remayning in the comming of the Lord, shall not preuent them which sleepe. 
\verseNumber{16}For the Lord himselfe shall descende from heauen with a shoute, and with the voyce of the Archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 
\verseNumber{17}Then shall we which liue and remaine, be caught vp with them also in the clouds, to meete the Lord in the ayre: and so shall we euer be with the Lord. 
\verseNumber{18}Wherefore, comfort your selues one another with these wordes. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Bvt of the times and seasons, brethren, yee haue no neede that I write vnto you. 
\verseNumber{2}For ye your selues knowe perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall come, euen as a thiefe in the night. 
\verseNumber{3}For when they shall say, Peace, and safetie, then shall come vpon them sudden destruction, as the trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape, 
\verseNumber{4}But ye, brethren, are not in darkenes, that that day shall come on you, as it were a thiefe. 
\verseNumber{5}Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkenesse. 
\verseNumber{6}Therefore let vs not sleepe as do other, but let vs watch and be sober. 
\verseNumber{7}For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night. 
\verseNumber{8}But let vs which are of the day, be sober, putting on the brest plate of faith and loue, and of the hope of saluation for an helmet. 
\verseNumber{9}For God hath not appointed vs vnto wrath, but to obtaine saluation by the meanes of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{10}Which died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him. 
\verseNumber{11}Wherefore exhort one another, and edifie one another, euen as ye doe. 
\verseNumber{12}Nowe we beseeche you, brethren, that ye acknowledge them, which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you, 
\verseNumber{13}That yee haue them in singular loue for their workes sake. Bee at peace among your selues. 
\verseNumber{14}We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are out of order: comfort ye feeble minded: beare with the weake: be pacient toward all men. 
\verseNumber{15}See that none recompense euil for euil vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both toward your selues, and toward all men. 
\verseNumber{16}Reioyce euermore. 
\verseNumber{17}Pray continually. 
\verseNumber{18}In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you. 
\verseNumber{19}Quench not the Spirit. 
\verseNumber{20}Despise not prophecying. 
\verseNumber{21}Try all things, and keepe that which is good. 
\verseNumber{22}Absteine from all appearance of euill. 
\verseNumber{23}Nowe the very God of peace sanctifie you throughout: and I pray God that your whole spirite and soule and body, may be kept blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{24}Faithfull is hee which calleth you, which will also doe it. 
\verseNumber{25}Brethren, pray for vs. 
\verseNumber{26}Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse. 
\verseNumber{27}I charge you in the Lord, that this Epistle be read vnto all the brethren the Saintes.

\verseNumber{2}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{3}We ought to thanke God alwayes for you, brethren, as it is meete, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the loue of euery one of you toward another, aboundeth, 
\verseNumber{4}So that we our selues reioyce of you in the Churches of God, because of your patience and faith in al your persecutions and tribulatios that ye suffer, 
\verseNumber{5}Which is a manifest token of the righteous iudgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdome of God, for the which ye also suffer. 
\verseNumber{6}For it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you, 
\verseNumber{7}And to you which are troubled, rest with vs, when the Lord Iesus shall shewe himselfe from heauen with his mightie Angels, 
\verseNumber{8}In flaming fire, rendring vengeance vnto them, that doe not know God, and which obey not vnto the Gospel of our Lord Iesus Christ,

\verseNumber{5}Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I tolde you these things? 
\verseNumber{6}And nowe ye knowe what withholdeth that he might be reueiled in his time. 
\verseNumber{7}For the mysterie of iniquitie doeth already worke: onely he which nowe withholdeth, shall let till he be taken out of the way.

\verseNumber{11}And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should beleeue lies, 
\verseNumber{12}That all they might be damned which beleeued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes. 
\verseNumber{13}But we ought to giue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lord, because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and the faith of trueth, 
\verseNumber{14}Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to obtaine the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{15}Therefore, brethren, stand fast and keepe the instructions, which ye haue bene taught, either by worde, or by our Epistle.

\verseNumber{8}Neither tooke we bread of any man for nought: but we wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, because we would not be chargeable to any of you. 
\verseNumber{9}Not because we haue not authoritie, but that we might make our selues an ensample vnto you to follow vs. 
\verseNumber{10}For euen when we were with you, this we warned you of, that if there were any, which would not worke, that he should not eate. 
\verseNumber{11}For we heare, that there are some which walke among you inordinately, and worke not at all, but are busie bodies.

\verseNumber{2}Vnto Timotheus my naturall sonne in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Iesus our Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}As I besought thee to abide still in Ephesus, when I departed into Macedonia, so doe, that thou mayest warne some, that they teach none other doctrine, 
\verseNumber{4}Neither that they giue heede to fables and genealogies which are endles, which breede questions rather then godly edifying which is by fayth. 
\verseNumber{5}For the end of the commandement is loue out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith vnfained. 
\verseNumber{6}From the which things some haue erred, and haue turned vnto vaine iangling. 
\verseNumber{7}They would be doctours of the Law, and yet vnderstande not what they speake, neither whereof they affirme. 
\verseNumber{8}And we knowe, that the Law is good, if a man vse it lawfully, 
\verseNumber{9}Knowing this, that the Lawe is not giuen vnto a righteous man, but vnto the lawles and disobedient, to the vngodly, and to sinners, to the vnholy, and to the prophane, to murtherers of fathers and mothers, to manslayers, 
\verseNumber{10}To whoremongers, to buggerers, to menstealers, to lyers, to the periured, and if there be any other thing, that is contrary to wholesome doctrine, 
\verseNumber{11}Which is according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, which is committed vnto me. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore I thanke him, which hath made me strong, that is, Christ Iesus our Lord: for he counted me faithfull, and put me in his seruice: 
\verseNumber{13}When before I was a blasphemer, and a persecuter, and an oppresser: but I was receiued to mercie: for I did it ignorantly through vnbeliefe. 
\verseNumber{14}But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and loue, which is in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{15}This is a true saying, and by all meanes worthy to be receiued, that Christ Iesus came into the worlde to saue sinners, of whom I am chiefe. 
\verseNumber{16}Notwithstanding, for this cause was I receiued to mercie, that Iesus Christ should first shewe on me all long suffering vnto the ensample of them, which shall in time to come beleeue in him vnto eternall life. 
\verseNumber{17}Nowe vnto the King euerlasting, immortall, inuisible, vnto God onely wise, be honour and glorie, for euer, and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{18}This commandement commit I vnto thee, sonne Timotheus, according to the prophecies, which went before vpon thee, that thou by them shouldest fight a good fight, 
\verseNumber{19}Hauing faith and a good conscience, which some haue put away, and as concerning faith, haue made shipwracke.

\verseNumber{2}For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and a peaceable life, in all godlinesse and honestie. 
\verseNumber{3}For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour, 
\verseNumber{4}Who will that all men shalbe saued, and come vnto the acknowledging of the trueth. 
\verseNumber{5}For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,

\verseNumber{7}Whereunto I am ordeined a preacher and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) euen a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie. 
\verseNumber{8}I will therefore that the men pray, euery where lifting vp pure hands without wrath, or douting. 
\verseNumber{9}Likewise also the women, that they aray themselues in comely apparell, with shamefastnes and modestie, not with broyded heare, or gold, or pearles, or costly apparell, 
\verseNumber{10}But (as becommeth women that professe the feare of God) with good workes. 
\verseNumber{11}Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection. 
\verseNumber{12}I permit not a woman to teache, neither to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.

\verseNumber{14}And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman was deceiued, and was in the transgression. 
\verseNumber{15}Notwithstanding, through bearing of children she shalbe saued if they continue in faith, and loue, and holines with modestie.

\chapterNumber{3}This is a true saying, If any man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a worthie worke. 
\verseNumber{2}A Bishop therefore must be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, watching, temperate, modest, harberous, apt to teache, 
\verseNumber{3}Not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthy lucre, but gentle, no fighter, not couetous, 
\verseNumber{4}One that can rule his owne house honestly, hauing children vnder obedience with all honestie. 
\verseNumber{5}For if any cannot rule his owne house, how shall he care for the Church of God? 
\verseNumber{6}He may not be a yong scholer, lest he being puffed vp fall into the condemnation of the deuill. 
\verseNumber{7}He must also be well reported of, euen of them which are without, lest he fall into rebuke, and the snare of the deuill. 
\verseNumber{8}Likewise must Deacons be graue, not double tongued, not giuen vnto much wine, neither to filthy lucre, 
\verseNumber{9}Hauing the mysterie of the faith in pure conscience. 
\verseNumber{10}And let them first be proued: then let them minister, if they be found blameles. 
\verseNumber{11}Likewise their wiues must be honest, not euill speakers, but sober, and faithfull in all things. 
\verseNumber{12}Let the Deacons be the husbands of one wife, and such as can rule their children well, and their owne housholdes. 
\verseNumber{13}For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{14}These things write I vnto thee, trusting to come very shortly vnto thee. 
\verseNumber{15}But if I tary long, that thou maist yet know, how thou oughtest to behaue thy self in ye house of God, which is the Church of the liuing God, the pillar and ground of trueth. 
\verseNumber{16}And without controuersie, great is the mysterie of godlinesse, which is, God is manifested in the flesh, iustified in the Spirit, seene of Angels, preached vnto the Gentiles, beleeued on in the world, and receiued vp in glorie. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Now the Spirit speaketh euidently, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall giue heede vnto spirits of errour, and doctrines of deuils, 
\verseNumber{2}Which speake lies through hypocrisie, and haue their cosciences burned with an hote yron, 
\verseNumber{3}Forbidding to marrie, and commanding to abstaine from meates which God hath created to be receiued with giuing thankes of them which beleeue and knowe the trueth. 
\verseNumber{4}For euery creature of God is good, and nothing ought to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing. 
\verseNumber{5}For it is sanctified by the worde of God, and prayer. 
\verseNumber{6}If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, which hast bene nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, which thou hast continually followed. 
\verseNumber{7}But cast away prophane, and olde wiues fables, and exercise thy selfe vnto godlinesse. 
\verseNumber{8}For bodily exercise profiteth litle: but godlinesse is profitable vnto all things, which hath the promise of the life present, and of that that is to come. 
\verseNumber{9}This is a true saying, and by all meanes worthie to be receiued. 
\verseNumber{10}For therefore we labour and are rebuked, because we trust in the liuing God, which is the Sauiour of all men, specially of those that beleeue. 
\verseNumber{11}These things warne and teache. 
\verseNumber{12}Let no man despise thy youth, but be vnto them that beleeue, an ensample, in worde, in conuersation, in loue, in spirit, in faith, and in purenesse. 
\verseNumber{13}Till I come, giue attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. 
\verseNumber{14}Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was giuen thee by prophecie with the laying on of the hands of the companie of the Eldership. 
\verseNumber{15}These things exercise, and giue thy selfe vnto them, that it may be seene howe thou profitest among all men. 
\verseNumber{16}Take heede vnto thy selfe, and vnto learning: continue therein: for in doing this thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the yonger men as brethren, 
\verseNumber{2}The elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purenesse. 
\verseNumber{3}Honour widowes, which are widowes in deede. 
\verseNumber{4}But if any widowe haue children or nephewes, let them learne first to shewe godlinesse towarde their owne house, and to recompense their kinred: for that is an honest thing and acceptable before God. 
\verseNumber{5}And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day. 
\verseNumber{6}But shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead, while shee liueth. 
\verseNumber{7}These things therefore warne them of, that they may be blamelesse. 
\verseNumber{8}If there bee any that prouideth not for his owne, and namely for them of his housholde, hee denieth the faith, and is worse then an infidell. 
\verseNumber{9}Let not a widow be taken into the number vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene the wife of one husband, 
\verseNumber{10}And well reported of for good woorkes: if shee haue nourished her children, if shee haue lodged the strangers, if shee haue washed the Saintes feete, if shee haue ministred vnto them which were in aduersitie, if shee were continually giuen vnto euery good woorke. 
\verseNumber{11}But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie, 
\verseNumber{12}Hauing damnation, because they haue broken the first faith. 
\verseNumber{13}And likewise also being idle they learne to goe about from house to house: yea, they are not onely ydle, but also pratlers and busibodies, speaking things which are not comely. 
\verseNumber{14}I will therefore that the yonger women marie, and beare children, and gouerne the house, and giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake euill. 
\verseNumber{15}For certaine are alreadie turned backe after Satan. 
\verseNumber{16}If any faithfull man, or faithfull woman haue widowes, let them minister vnto them, and let not the Church bee charged, that there may bee sufficient for them that are widowes in deede. 
\verseNumber{17}The Elders that rule well, let them be had in double honour, specially they which labour in the worde and doctrine, 
\verseNumber{18}For the Scripture sayeth, Thou shalt not mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthie of his wages. 
\verseNumber{19}Against an Elder receiue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses. 
\verseNumber{20}Them that sinne, rebuke openly, that the rest also may feare. 
\verseNumber{21}I charge thee before God and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these thinges without preferring one to an other, and doe nothing partially. 
\verseNumber{22}Lay handes suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy selfe pure. 
\verseNumber{23}Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities. 
\verseNumber{24}Some mens sinnes are open before hand, and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens folowe after. 
\verseNumber{25}Likewise also the good woorkes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Let as many seruaunts as are vnder the yoke, count their masters worthie of all honour, that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not euill spoken of. 
\verseNumber{2}And they which haue beleeuing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren, but rather doe seruice, because they are faithfull, and beloued, and partakers of the benefite. These things teach and exhort. 
\verseNumber{3}If any man teach otherwise, and consenteth not to the wholesome wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ, and to the doctrine, which is according to godlinesse, 
\verseNumber{4}He is puft vp and knoweth nothing, but doteth about questions and strife of words, whereof commeth enuie, strife, railings, euill surmisings, 
\verseNumber{5}Frowarde disputations of men of corrupt mindes and destitute of ye trueth, which thinke that gaine is godlines: from such separate thy selfe. 
\verseNumber{6}But godlinesse is great gaine, if a man be content with that he hath. 
\verseNumber{7}For we brought nothing into the world, and it is certaine, that we can carie nothing out. 
\verseNumber{8}Therefore when wee haue foode and raiment, let vs therewith be content. 
\verseNumber{9}For they that will be rich, fall into tentation and snares, and into many foolish and noysome lustes, which drowne men in perdition and destruction. 
\verseNumber{10}For the desire of money is the roote of all euill, which while some lusted after, they erred from the faith, and pearced themselues through with many sorowes. 
\verseNumber{11}But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousnesse, godlines, faith, loue, patience, and meekenes. 
\verseNumber{12}Fight the good fight of faith: lay holde of eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 
\verseNumber{13}I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all thinges, and before Iesus Christ, which vnder Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession, 
\verseNumber{14}That thou keepe this commandement without spot, and vnrebukeable, vntill the appearing of our Lord Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{15}Which in due time hee shall shewe, that is blessed and Prince onely, the King of Kings and Lord of Lordes, 
\verseNumber{16}Who onely hath immortalitie, and dwelleth in the light that none can attaine vnto, whom neuer man sawe, neither can see, vnto whome bee honour and power euerlasting, Amen. 
\verseNumber{17}Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, and that they trust not in vncertaine riches, but in the liuing God, (which giueth vs aboundantly, all things to enioy) 
\verseNumber{18}That they doe good, and be riche in good woorkes, and readie to distribute, and comunicate, 
\verseNumber{19}Laying vp in store for themselues a good foundation against the time to come, that they may obteine eternall life. 
\verseNumber{20}O Timotheus, keepe that which is committed vnto thee, and auoide prophane and vaine babblings, and oppositios of science falsely so called, 
\verseNumber{21}Which while some professe, they haue erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee, Amen. ‘The first Epistle to Timotheus, written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest citie of Phrygia Pacaciana.’

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Paul an Apostle of Iesus Christ, by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Iesus, 
\verseNumber{2}To Timotheus my beloued sonne: Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from Iesus Christ our Lord. 
\verseNumber{3}I thanke God, whom I serue from mine elders with pure conscience, that without ceasing I haue remembrance of thee in my praiers night and day, 
\verseNumber{4}Desiring to see thee, mindefull of thy teares, that I may be filled with ioy: 
\verseNumber{5}When I call to remembrance the vnfained faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and in thy mother Eunice, and am assured that it dwelleth in thee also. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore, I put thee in remembrance that thou stirre vp the gift of God which is in thee, by the putting on of mine hands. 
\verseNumber{7}For God hath not giuen to vs the Spirite of feare, but of power, and of loue, and of a sound minde. 
\verseNumber{8}Be not therefore ashamed of the testimonie of our Lord, neither of me his prisoner: but be partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel, according to the power of God, 
\verseNumber{9}Who hath saued vs, and called vs with an holy calling, not according to our workes, but according to his owne purpose and grace, which was giuen to vs through Christ Iesus before the world was, 
\verseNumber{10}But is nowe made manifest by that appearing of our Sauiour Iesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortalitie vnto light through the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{11}Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 
\verseNumber{12}For the which cause I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed: for I knowe whom I haue beleeued, and I am persuaded that he is able to keepe that which I haue committed to him against that day. 
\verseNumber{13}Keepe the true paterne of the wholesome wordes, which thou hast heard of me in faith and loue which is in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{14}That worthie thing, which was committed to thee, keepe through the holy Ghost, which dwelleth in vs. 
\verseNumber{15}This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia, be turned from me: of which sort are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 
\verseNumber{16}The Lord giue mercie vnto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chaine, 
\verseNumber{17}But when he was at Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me. 
\verseNumber{18}The Lord graunt vnto him, that he may finde mercie with the Lord at that day, and in how many things he hath ministred vnto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Thou therefore, my sonne, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{2}And what things thou hast heard of me, by many witnesses, ye same deliuer to faithfull men, which shalbe able to teache other also. 
\verseNumber{3}Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good souldier of Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{4}No man that warreth, entangleth himselfe with the affaires of this life, because he woulde please him that hath chosen him to be a souldier. 
\verseNumber{5}And if any man also striue for a Masterie, he is not crowned, except he striue as he ought to doe. 
\verseNumber{6}The husbandman must labour before he receiue the fruites. 
\verseNumber{7}Consider what I say: and the Lord giue thee vnderstanding in all things: 
\verseNumber{8}Remember that Iesus Christ, made of the seede of Dauid, was raysed againe from the dead according to my Gospel, 
\verseNumber{9}Wherein I suffer trouble as an euill doer, euen vnto bondes: but the worde of God is not bounde. 
\verseNumber{10}Therefore I suffer all things, for the elects sake, that they might also obtaine the saluation which is in Christ Iesus, with eternall glorie. 
\verseNumber{11}It is a true saying, For if we be dead together with him, we also shall liue together with him. 
\verseNumber{12}If we suffer, we shall also reigne together with him: if we denie him, he also will denie vs. 
\verseNumber{13}If we beleeue not, yet abideth he faithfull: he cannot denie himselfe. 
\verseNumber{14}Of these things put them in remembrance, and protest before the Lord, that they striue not about wordes, which is to no profit, but to the peruerting of the hearers. 
\verseNumber{15}Studie to shewe thy selfe approued vnto God, a workeman that needeth not to be ashamed, diuiding the worde of trueth aright. 
\verseNumber{16}Stay prophane, and vaine babblings: for they shall encrease vnto more vngodlinesse. 
\verseNumber{17}And their worde shall fret as a canker: of which sort is Hymeneus and Philetus, 
\verseNumber{18}Which as concerning ye trueth haue erred from the marke, saying that the resurrection is past alreadie, and do destroy the faith of certaine. 
\verseNumber{19}But the foundation of God remaineth sure, and hath this seale, The Lord knoweth who are his: and, Let euery one that calleth on the Name of Christ, depart from iniquitie. 
\verseNumber{20}Notwithstanding in a great house are not onely vessels of gold and of siluer, but also of wood and of earth, and some for honour, and some vnto dishonour. 
\verseNumber{21}If any man therefore purge him selfe from these, he shalbe a vessell vnto honour, sanctified, and meete for the Lord, and prepared vnto euery good worke. 
\verseNumber{22}Flee also from the lustes of youth, and follow after righteousnes, faith, loue, and peace, with them that call on the Lord with pure heart, 
\verseNumber{23}And put away foolish and vnlearned questions, knowing that they ingender strife. 
\verseNumber{24}But the seruant of ye Lord must not striue, but must be gentle toward all men, apt to teache, suffering the euill, 
\verseNumber{25}Instructing them with meekenesse that are contrary minded, prouing if God at any time will giue them repentance, that they may acknowledge the trueth, 
\verseNumber{26}And come to amendment out of that snare of the deuil, of whom they are taken prisoners, to doe his will. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times. 
\verseNumber{2}For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy, 
\verseNumber{3}Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good, 
\verseNumber{4}Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God, 
\verseNumber{5}Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such. 
\verseNumber{6}For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes, 
\verseNumber{7}Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth. 
\verseNumber{8}And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith. 
\verseNumber{9}But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was. 
\verseNumber{10}But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience, 
\verseNumber{11}Persecutions, and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia, at Iconium, and at Lystri, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord deliuered me. 
\verseNumber{12}Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution. 
\verseNumber{13}But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued. 
\verseNumber{14}But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them: 
\verseNumber{15}And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus. 
\verseNumber{16}For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse, 
\verseNumber{17}That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Iesus Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdome, 
\verseNumber{2}Preach the worde: be instant, in season and out of season: improue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 
\verseNumber{3}For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but hauing their eares itching, shall after their owne lustes get them an heape of teachers, 
\verseNumber{4}And shall turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe giuen vnto fables. 
\verseNumber{5}But watch thou in all thinges: suffer aduersitie: doe the worke of an Euangelist: cause thy ministerie to be throughly liked of. 
\verseNumber{6}For I am nowe readie to be offered, and the time of my departing is at hand. 
\verseNumber{7}I haue fought a good fight, and haue finished my course: I haue kept the faith. 
\verseNumber{8}For hence foorth is laide vp for me the crowne of righteousnesse, which the Lord the righteous iudge shall giue me at that day: and not to me onely, but vnto all them also that loue that his appearing. 
\verseNumber{9}Make speede to come vnto me at once: 
\verseNumber{10}For Demas hath forsaken me, and hath embraced this present world, and is departed vnto Thessalonica. Crescens is gone to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia. 
\verseNumber{11}Onely Luke is with me. Take Marke and bring him with thee: for he is profitable vnto me to minister. 
\verseNumber{12}And Tychicus haue I sent to Ephesus. 
\verseNumber{13}The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou commest, bring with thee, and the bookes, but specially the parchments. 
\verseNumber{14}Alexander the coppersmith hath done me much euill: the Lord rewarde him according to his workes. 
\verseNumber{15}Of whome be thou ware also: for he withstoode our preaching sore. 
\verseNumber{16}At my first answering no man assisted me, but all forsooke me: I pray God, that it may not be laide to their charge. 
\verseNumber{17}Notwithstanding the Lord assisted me, and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully beleeued, and that al the Gentiles should heare: and I was deliuered out of the mouth of the lion. 
\verseNumber{18}And the Lord will deliuer me from euery euil worke, and will preserue me vnto his heauenly kingdome: to whome be praise for euer and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{19}Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the householde of Onesiphorus. 
\verseNumber{20}Erastus abode at Corinthus: Trophimus I left at Miletum sicke. 
\verseNumber{21}Make speede to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 
\verseNumber{22}The Lord Iesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you, Amen. ‘The second Epistle written from Rome vnto Timotheus, the first Bishop elected of the Church of Ephesus, when Paul was presented the second time before the Emperour Nero.’

\verseNumber{3}But hath made his worde manifest in due time through the preaching, which is committed vnto me, according to the commandement of God our Sauiour: 
\verseNumber{4}To Titus my naturall sonne according to the common faith, Grace, mercie and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ our Sauiour. 
\verseNumber{5}For this cause left I thee in Creta, that thou shouldest continue to redresse the thinges that remaine, and shouldest ordeine Elders in euery citie, as I appointed thee, 
\verseNumber{6}If any be vnreproueable, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, which are not slandered of riot, neither are disobedient. 
\verseNumber{7}For a Bishop must bee vnreproueable, as Gods steward, not froward, not angrie, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,

\verseNumber{9}Holding fast that faithfull worde according to doctrine, that he also may bee able to exhort with wholesome doctrine, and conuince them that say against it. 
\verseNumber{10}For there are many disobedient and vaine talkers and deceiuers of mindes, chiefly they of the Circumcision, 
\verseNumber{11}Whose mouthes must bee stopped, which subuert whole houses, teaching things, which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake. 
\verseNumber{12}One of themselues, euen one of their owne prophets said, The Cretians are alwaies liars, euill beastes, slowe bellies. 
\verseNumber{13}This witnesse is true: wherefore conuince them sharply, that they may be sound in ye faith, 
\verseNumber{14}And not taking heede to Iewish fables and commandements of men, that turne away from the trueth. 
\verseNumber{15}Vnto the pure are all things pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure, but euen their mindes and consciences are defiled.

\verseNumber{3}For wee our selues also were in times past vnwise, disobedient, deceiued, seruing the lustes and diuers pleasures, liuing in maliciousnes and enuie, hatefull, and hating one another: 
\verseNumber{4}But when that bountifulnesse and that loue of God our Sauiour toward man appeared,

\chapterNumber{1}Paul a prisoner of Iesus Christ, and our brother Timotheus, vnto Philemon our deare friende, and fellowe helper, 
\verseNumber{2}And to our deare sister Apphia, and to Archippus our fellowe souldier, and to the Church that is in thine house: 
\verseNumber{3}Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{4}I giue thanks to my God, making mention alwaies of thee in my praiers, 
\verseNumber{5}(When I heare of thy loue and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Iesus, and towarde all Saintes) 
\verseNumber{6}That the fellowship of thy faith may bee made effectuall, and that whatsoeuer good thing is in you through Christ Iesus, may be knowen. 
\verseNumber{7}For we haue great ioy and consolation in thy loue, because by thee, brother, the Saintes bowels are comforted. 
\verseNumber{8}Wherefore, though I bee very bolde in Christ to commaund thee that which is conuenient, 
\verseNumber{9}Yet for loues sake I rather beseeche thee, though I be as I am, euen Paul aged, and euen nowe a prisoner for Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{10}I beseeche thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bondes, 
\verseNumber{11}Which in times past was to thee vnprofitable, but nowe profitable both to thee and to me, 
\verseNumber{12}Whome I haue sent againe: thou therefore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels, 
\verseNumber{13}Whom I woulde haue reteined with mee, that in thy steade he might haue ministred vnto me in the bondes of the Gospel. 
\verseNumber{14}But without thy minde woulde I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not be as it were of necessitie, but willingly. 
\verseNumber{15}It may be that he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer, 
\verseNumber{16}Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, euen as a brother beloued, specially to me: howe much more then vnto thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord? 
\verseNumber{17}If therefore thou count our thinges common, receiue him as my selfe. 
\verseNumber{18}If he hath hurt thee, or oweth thee ought, that put on mine accounts. 
\verseNumber{19}I Paul haue written this with mine owne hande: I will recompense it, albeit I doe not say to thee, that thou owest moreouer vnto me euen thine owne selfe. 
\verseNumber{20}Yea, brother, let mee obteine this pleasure of thee in the Lord: comfort my bowels in the Lord. 
\verseNumber{21}Trusting in thine obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt do eue more then I say. 
\verseNumber{22}Moreouer also prepare mee lodging: for I trust through your prayers I shall be freely giuen vnto you. 
\verseNumber{23}There salute thee Epaphras my felowe prisoner in Christ Iesus,

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes: in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, 
\verseNumber{2}Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, 
\verseNumber{3}Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places, 
\verseNumber{4}And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they. 
\verseNumber{5}For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne? 
\verseNumber{6}And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him. 
\verseNumber{7}And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire. 
\verseNumber{8}But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. 
\verseNumber{9}Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes. 
\verseNumber{10}And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes. 
\verseNumber{11}They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment. 
\verseNumber{12}And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile. 
\verseNumber{13}Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole? 
\verseNumber{14}Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation? 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Wherefore wee ought diligently to giue heede to the thinges which wee haue heard, lest at any time we runne out. 
\verseNumber{2}For if the worde spoken by Angels was stedfast, and euery transgression, and disobedience receiued a iust recompence of reward, 
\verseNumber{3}How shall we escape, if we neglect so great saluation, which at the first began to be preached by the Lord, and afterward was confirmed vnto vs by them that heard him, 
\verseNumber{4}God bearing witnes thereto, both with signes and wonders, and with diuers miracles, and gifts of the holy Ghost, according to his owne will? 
\verseNumber{5}For he hath not put in subiection vnto the Angels the world to come, whereof we speake. 
\verseNumber{6}But one in a certaine place witnessed, saying, What is man, that thou shouldest bee mindefull of him? or the sonne of man, that thou wouldest consider him? 
\verseNumber{7}Thou madest him a litle inferiour to ye Angels: thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and hast set him aboue the workes of thine hands. 
\verseNumber{8}Thou hast put all things in subiection vnder his feete. And in that he hath put all things in subiection vnder him, he left nothing that should not be subiect vnto him. But we yet see not all things subdued vnto him, 
\verseNumber{9}But we see Iesus crowned with glory and honour, which was made litle inferiour to the Angels, through the suffering of death, that by Gods grace he might taste death for all men. 
\verseNumber{10}For it became him, for whome are all these thinges, and by whome are all these things, seeing that hee brought many children vnto glory, that he should consecrate the Prince of their saluation through afflictions. 
\verseNumber{11}For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 
\verseNumber{12}Saying, I will declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Church will I sing praises to thee. 
\verseNumber{13}And againe, I will put my trust in him. And againe, Beholde, here am I, and the children which God hath giuen me. 
\verseNumber{14}Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himselfe likewise tooke part with them, that hee might destroye through death, him that had the power of death, that is the deuil, 
\verseNumber{15}And that he might deliuer all them, which for feare of death were all their life time subiect to bondage. 
\verseNumber{16}For he in no sort tooke on him the Angels nature, but hee tooke on him the seede of Abraham. 
\verseNumber{17}Wherefore in all things it behoued him to be made like vnto his brethren, that hee might be mercifull, and a faithfull hie Priest in things concerning God, that he might make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people. 
\verseNumber{18}For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heauenly vocation, consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus: 
\verseNumber{2}Who was faithfull to him that hath appointed him, euen as Moses was in al his house. 
\verseNumber{3}For this man is counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he which hath builded the house, hath more honour then the house. 
\verseNumber{4}For euery house is builded of some man, and he that hath built all things, is God. 
\verseNumber{5}Now Moses verely was faithfull in all his house, as a seruant, for a witnesse of the thinges which should be spoken after. 
\verseNumber{6}But Christ is as the Sonne, ouer his owne house, whose house we are, if we holde fast that confidence and that reioycing of that hope vnto the ende. 
\verseNumber{7}Wherefore, as the holy Ghost sayth, To day if ye shall heare his voyce, 
\verseNumber{8}Harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation, according to the day of the tentation in the wildernes, 
\verseNumber{9}Where your fathers tempted me, prooued me, and sawe my workes fourtie yeeres long. 
\verseNumber{10}Wherefore I was grieued with that generation, and sayde, They erre euer in their heart, neither haue they knowen my wayes. 
\verseNumber{11}Therefore I sware in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest. 
\verseNumber{12}Take heede, brethren, least at any time there be in any of you an euill heart, and vnfaithfull, to depart away from the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{13}But exhort one another dayly, while it is called to day, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulnes of sinne. 
\verseNumber{14}For we are made partakers of Christ, if we keepe sure vnto the ende that beginning, wherewith we are vpholden, 
\verseNumber{15}So long as it is sayd, To day if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts, as in the prouocation. 
\verseNumber{16}For some when they heard, prouoked him to anger: howbeit, not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 
\verseNumber{17}But with whome was he displeased fourtie yeeres? Was hee not displeased with them that sinned, whose carkeises fell in the wildernes? 
\verseNumber{18}And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but vnto them that obeyed not? 
\verseNumber{19}So we see that they could not enter in, because of vnbeliefe. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Let vs feare therefore, least at any time by forsaking the promise of entring into his rest, any of you should seeme to be depriued. 
\verseNumber{2}For vnto vs was the Gospel preached as also vnto them: but the worde that they heard, profited not them, because it was not mixed with faith in those that heard it. 
\verseNumber{3}For we which haue beleeued, doe enter into rest, as he said to the other, As I haue sworne in my wrath, If they shall enter into my rest: although the workes were finished from the foundation of the world. 
\verseNumber{4}For he spake in a certaine place of the seuenth day on this wise, And God did rest the seuenth day from all his workes. 
\verseNumber{5}And in this place againe, If they shall enter into my rest. 
\verseNumber{6}Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter thereinto, and they to whom it was first preached, entred not therein for vnbeliefes sake: 
\verseNumber{7}Againe he appointed in Dauid a certaine day, by To day, after so long a time, saying, as it is sayd, This day, if ye heare his voyce, harden not your hearts. 
\verseNumber{8}For if Iesus had giuen them rest, then would he not after this haue spoke of an other day. 
\verseNumber{9}There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 
\verseNumber{10}For he that is entred into his rest, hath also ceased from his owne works, as God did from his. 
\verseNumber{11}Let vs studie therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same ensample of disobedience. 
\verseNumber{12}For the worde of God is liuely, and mightie in operation, and sharper then any two edged sword, and entreth through, euen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit, and of the ioints, and the marow, and is a discerner of the thoughtes, and the intents of the heart. 
\verseNumber{13}Neither is there any creature, which is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and open vnto his eyes, with whome we haue to doe. 
\verseNumber{14}Seeing then that wee haue a great hie Priest, which is entred into heauen, euen Iesus the Sonne of God, let vs holde fast our profession. 
\verseNumber{15}For we haue not an hie Priest, which can not be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but was in all things tempted in like sort, yet without sinne. 
\verseNumber{16}Let vs therefore goe boldly vnto ye throne of grace, that we may receiue mercy, and finde grace to helpe in time of neede. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}For euery hie Priest is taken from among men, and is ordeined for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both giftes and sacrifices for sinnes, 
\verseNumber{2}Which is able sufficiently to haue compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that hee also is compassed with infirmitie, 
\verseNumber{3}And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples. 
\verseNumber{4}And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 
\verseNumber{5}So likewise Christ tooke not to him selfe this honour, to be made the hie Priest, but hee that sayd vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee, gaue it him. 
\verseNumber{6}As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. 
\verseNumber{7}Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared. 
\verseNumber{8}And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered. 
\verseNumber{9}And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: 
\verseNumber{10}And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec. 
\verseNumber{11}Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing. 
\verseNumber{12}For when as concerning ye time ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye neede againe that we teach you what are the first principles of the worde of God: and are become such as haue neede of milke, and not of strong meate. 
\verseNumber{13}For euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe. 
\verseNumber{14}But strong meate belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custome haue their wits exercised, to discerne both good and euill. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{6}Therefore, leauing the doctrine of the beginning of Christ, let vs be led forward vnto perfection, not laying againe ye foundation of repetance from dead workes, and of faith toward God, 
\verseNumber{2}Of the doctrine of baptismes, and laying on of hands, and of the resurrection from the dead, and of eternall iudgement. 
\verseNumber{3}And this will we doe if God permit. 
\verseNumber{4}For it is impossible that they which were once lightened, and haue tasted of the heauenly gift, and were made partakers of the holy Ghost, 
\verseNumber{5}And haue tasted of the good word of God, and of the powers of the world to come, 
\verseNumber{6}If they fal away, should be renued againe by repentance: seeing they crucifie againe to themselues the Sonne of God, and make a mocke of him. 
\verseNumber{7}For the earth which drinketh in the raine that commeth oft vpon it, and bringeth foorth herbes meete for them by whome it is dressed, receiueth blessing of God. 
\verseNumber{8}But that which beareth thornes and briars, is reproued, and is neere vnto cursing, whose end is to be burned. 
\verseNumber{9}But beloued, we haue perswaded our selues better things of you, and such as accompany saluation, though we thus speake. 
\verseNumber{10}For God is not vnrighteous, that hee should forget your worke, and labour of loue, which ye shewed toward his Name, in that ye haue ministred vnto the Saints, and yet minister. 
\verseNumber{11}And we desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence, to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende, 
\verseNumber{12}That ye be not slouthfull, but followers of them, which through faith and patience, inherite the promises. 
\verseNumber{13}For when God made the promise to Abraham, because he had no greater to sweare by, he sware by himselfe, 
\verseNumber{14}Saying, Surely I wil aboundantly blesse thee and multiplie thee marueilously. 
\verseNumber{15}And so after that he had taried patiently, he enioyed the promise. 
\verseNumber{16}For men verely sweare by him that is greater then themselues, and an othe for confirmation is among them an ende of all strife. 
\verseNumber{17}So God, willing more aboundantly to shew vnto the heires of promise the stablenes of his counsell, bound himselfe by an othe, 
\verseNumber{18}That by two immutable things, wherein it is vnpossible that God should lye, we might haue strong consolation, which haue our refuge to lay holde vpon that hope that is set before vs, 
\verseNumber{19}Which hope we haue, as an ancre of the soule, both sure and stedfast, and it entreth into that which is within the vaile, 
\verseNumber{20}Whither the forerunner is for vs entred in, euen Iesus that is made an hie Priest for euer after the order of Melchi-sedec. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{7}For this Melchi-sedec was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him: 
\verseNumber{2}To whom also Abraham gaue the tithe of all things: who first is by interpretation King of righteousnes: after that, he is also King of Salem, that is, King of peace, 
\verseNumber{3}Without father, without mother, without kinred, and hath neither beginning of his dayes, neither ende of life: but is likened vnto the Sonne of God, and continueth a Priest for euer. 
\verseNumber{4}Nowe consider how great this man was, vnto whome euen the Patriarke Abraham gaue the tithe of the spoyles. 
\verseNumber{5}For verely they which are the childre of Leui, which receiue the office of the Priesthode, haue a commandement to take, according to the Law, tithes of the people (that is, of their bethren) though they came out of ye loynes of Abraham. 
\verseNumber{6}But he whose kindred is not couted among them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. 
\verseNumber{7}And without all contradiction the lesse is blessed of the greater. 
\verseNumber{8}And here men that die, receiue tithes: but there he receiueth them, of whome it is witnessed, that he liueth. 
\verseNumber{9}And to say as the thing is, Leui also which receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 
\verseNumber{10}For hee was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham, when Melchi-sedec met him. 
\verseNumber{11}If therefore perfection had bene by the Priesthoode of the Leuites (for vnder it the Lawe was established to the people) what needed it furthermore, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchi-sedec, and not to be called after the order of Aaron? 
\verseNumber{12}For if the Priesthood be changed, then of necessitie must there be a change of the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{13}For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at the altar. 
\verseNumber{14}For it is euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood. 
\verseNumber{15}And it is yet a more euident thing, because that after the similitude of Melchi-sedec, there is risen vp another Priest, 
\verseNumber{16}Which is not made Priest after the Law of the carnal commandement, but after the power of the endlesse life. 
\verseNumber{17}For hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec. 
\verseNumber{18}For the commandement that went afore, is disanulled, because of the weakenes thereof, and vnprofitablenes. 
\verseNumber{19}For the Law made nothing perfite, but the bringing in of a better hope made perfite, whereby we drawe neere vnto God. 
\verseNumber{20}And for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe: 
\verseNumber{21}But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec) 
\verseNumber{22}By so much is Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament. 
\verseNumber{23}And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death. 
\verseNumber{24}But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another. 
\verseNumber{25}Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them. 
\verseNumber{26}For such an hie Priest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made hier then the heauens: 
\verseNumber{27}Which needeth not daily as those hie Priests to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that did he once, when he offered vp himselfe. 
\verseNumber{28}For the Law maketh men hie Priestes, which haue infirmitie: but the word of the othe that was since the Lawe, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{8}Nowe of the things which we haue spoken, this is the summe, that wee haue such an hie Priest, that sitteth at the right hand of the throne of the Maiestie in heauens, 
\verseNumber{2}And is a minister of the Sanctuarie, and of that true Tabernacle which the Lord pight, and not man. 
\verseNumber{3}For euery high Priest is ordeined to offer both giftes and sacrifices: wherefore it was of necessitie, that this man shoulde haue somewhat also to offer. 
\verseNumber{4}For he were not a Priest, if he were on the earth, seeing there are Priestes that according to the Lawe offer giftes, 
\verseNumber{5}Who serue vnto the paterne and shadowe of heauenly things, as Moses was warned by God, whe he was about to finish the Tabernacle. See, saide hee, that thou make all thinges according to the paterne, shewed to thee in the mount. 
\verseNumber{6}But nowe our hie Priest hath obteined a more excellent office, in as much as he is the Mediatour of a better Testament, which is established vpon better promises. 
\verseNumber{7}For if that first Testament had bene vnblameable, no place should haue bene sought for the second. 
\verseNumber{8}For in rebuking them he saith, Beholde, the dayes will come, saith the Lord, when I shall make with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iuda a newe Testament: 
\verseNumber{9}Not like the Testament that I made with their fathers, in the day that I tooke them by the hand, to leade them out of the land of Egypt: for they continued not in my Testament, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 
\verseNumber{10}For this is the Testament that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawes in their minde, and in their heart I will write them, and I wil be their God, and they shalbe my people, 
\verseNumber{11}And they shall not teache euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall knowe me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 
\verseNumber{12}For I will bee mercifull to their vnrighteousnes, and I wil remember their sinnes and their iniquities no more. 
\verseNumber{13}In that he saith a new Testament, he hath abrogate the olde: nowe that which is disanulled and waxed olde, is ready to vanish away. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{9}Then the first Testament had also ordinances of religion, and a worldly Sanctuarie. 
\verseNumber{2}For the first Tabernacle was made, wherein was the candlesticke, and the table, and the shewebread, which Tabernacle is called the Holy places. 
\verseNumber{3}And after the seconde vaile was the Tabernacle, which is called the Holiest of all, 
\verseNumber{4}Which had the golden censer, and the Arke of the Testament ouerlayde rounde about with golde, wherein the golden pot, which had Manna, was, and Aarons rod that had budded, and the tables of the Testament. 
\verseNumber{5}And ouer the Arke were the glorious Cherubims, shadowing the mercie seat: of which things we will not nowe speake particularly. 
\verseNumber{6}Nowe when these things were thus ordeined, the Priestes went alwayes into the first Tabernacle, and accomplished the seruice. 
\verseNumber{7}But into the second went the hie Priest alone, once euery yere, not without blood which hee offered for himselfe, and for the ignorances of the people. 
\verseNumber{8}Whereby the holy Ghost this signified, that the way into ye Holiest of all was not yet opened, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing, 
\verseNumber{9}Which was a figure for that present time, wherein were offred gifts and sacrifices that could not make holy, concerning the conscience, him that did the seruice, 
\verseNumber{10}Which only stood in meates and drinkes, and diuers washings, and carnal rites, which were inioyned, vntill the time of reformation. 
\verseNumber{11}But Christ being come an high Priest of good things to come, by a greater and a more perfect Tabernacle, not made with handes, that is, not of this building, 
\verseNumber{12}Neither by the blood of goates and calues: but by his owne blood entred he in once vnto the holy place, and obteined eternall redemption for vs. 
\verseNumber{13}For if the blood of bulles and of goates, and the ashes of an heifer, sprinkling them that are vncleane, sanctifieth as touching the purifying of the flesh, 
\verseNumber{14}How much more shall the blood of Christ which through the eternall Spirit offered himselfe without fault to God, purge your conscience from dead workes, to serue the liuing God? 
\verseNumber{15}And for this cause is he the Mediatour of the newe Testament, that through death which was for the redemption of the transgressions that were in the former Testament, they which were called, might receiue the promise of eternall inheritance. 
\verseNumber{16}For where a Testament is, there must be the death of him that made the Testament. 
\verseNumber{17}For the Testament is confirmed when men are dead: for it is yet of no force as long as he that made it, is aliue. 
\verseNumber{18}Wherefore neither was the first ordeined without blood. 
\verseNumber{19}For when Moses had spoken euery precept to the people, according to the Law, he tooke the blood of calues and of goates, with water and purple wooll and hyssope, and sprinckled both the booke, and all the people, 
\verseNumber{20}Saying, This is the blood of the Testament, which God hath appointed vnto you. 
\verseNumber{21}Moreouer, he sprinkled likewise the Tabernacle with blood also, and all the ministring vessels. 
\verseNumber{22}And almost all things are by the Law purged with blood, and without sheading of blood is no remission. 
\verseNumber{23}It was then necessary, that the similitudes of heauenly things should be purified with such things: but the heauenly things them selues are purified with better sacrifices then are these. 
\verseNumber{24}For Christ is not entred into ye holy places that are made with hands, which are similitudes of ye true Sanctuarie: but is entred into very heauen, to appeare now in ye sight of God for vs, 
\verseNumber{25}Not that he should offer himselfe often, as the hie Priest entred into the Holy place euery yeere with other blood, 
\verseNumber{26}(For then must he haue often suffred since the foundation of the world) but now in the end of the world hath he bene made manifest, once to put away sinne by the sacrifice of him selfe. 
\verseNumber{27}And as it is appointed vnto men that they shall once die, and after that commeth the iudgement: 
\verseNumber{28}So Christ was once offered to take away the sinnes of many, and vnto them that looke for him, shall he appeare the second time without sinne vnto saluation. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{10}For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto. 
\verseNumber{2}For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes? 
\verseNumber{3}But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere. 
\verseNumber{4}For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes. 
\verseNumber{5}Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me. 
\verseNumber{6}In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure. 
\verseNumber{7}Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy will, O God. 
\verseNumber{8}Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe) 
\verseNumber{9}Then sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second. 
\verseNumber{10}By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made. 
\verseNumber{11}And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes: 
\verseNumber{12}But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer at the right hand of God, 
\verseNumber{13}And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole. 
\verseNumber{14}For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified. 
\verseNumber{15}For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before, 
\verseNumber{16}This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them. 
\verseNumber{17}And their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more. 
\verseNumber{18}Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne. 
\verseNumber{19}Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place, 
\verseNumber{20}By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh: 
\verseNumber{21}And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God, 
\verseNumber{22}Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience, 
\verseNumber{23}And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised) 
\verseNumber{24}And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes, 
\verseNumber{25}Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere. 
\verseNumber{26}For if we sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes, 
\verseNumber{27}But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries. 
\verseNumber{28}He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder two, or three witnesses: 
\verseNumber{29}Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite the Spirit of grace? 
\verseNumber{30}For we know him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge his people. 
\verseNumber{31}It is a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God. 
\verseNumber{32}Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions, 
\verseNumber{33}Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from. 
\verseNumber{34}For both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring substance. 
\verseNumber{35}Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward. 
\verseNumber{36}For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise. 
\verseNumber{37}For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary. 
\verseNumber{38}Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him. 
\verseNumber{39}But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{11}Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene. 
\verseNumber{2}For by it our elders were well reported of. 
\verseNumber{3}Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare. 
\verseNumber{4}By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh. 
\verseNumber{5}By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God. 
\verseNumber{6}But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him. 
\verseNumber{7}By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith. 
\verseNumber{8}By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 
\verseNumber{9}By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange countrey, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Iacob heires with him of the same promise. 
\verseNumber{10}For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God. 
\verseNumber{11}Through faith Sara also receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faithfull which had promised. 
\verseNumber{12}And therefore sprang there of one, euen of one which was dead, so many as the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the land of the sea shore which is innumerable. 
\verseNumber{13}All these died in faith, and receiued not the promises, but sawe them a farre off, and beleeued them, and receiued them thankefully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
\verseNumber{14}For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey. 
\verseNumber{15}And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned. 
\verseNumber{16}But nowe they desire a better, that is an heauenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie. 
\verseNumber{17}By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne. 
\verseNumber{18}(To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.) 
\verseNumber{19}For he considered that God was able to raise him vp euen from the dead: from whence he receiued him also after a sort. 
\verseNumber{20}By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concerning things to come. 
\verseNumber{21}By faith Iacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and leaning on the ende of his staffe, worshipped God. 
\verseNumber{22}By faith Ioseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gaue commandement of his bones. 
\verseNumber{23}By faith Moses when he was borne, was hid three moneths of his parents, because they sawe he was a proper childe, neither feared they the kings commandement. 
\verseNumber{24}By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter, 
\verseNumber{25}And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season, 
\verseNumber{26}Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward. 
\verseNumber{27}By faith he forsooke Egypt, and feared not the fiercenes of the king: for he endured, as he that sawe him which is inuisible. 
\verseNumber{28}Through faith he ordeined the Passeouer and the effusion of blood, least he that destroyed the first borne, should touche them. 
\verseNumber{29}By faith they passed through the red sea as by drie land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to doe, they were swallowed vp. 
\verseNumber{30}By faith the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were copassed about seue dayes. 
\verseNumber{31}By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them which obeyed not, when she had receiued the spies peaceably. 
\verseNumber{32}And what shall I more say? for the time would be too short for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Sampson, and of Iephte, also of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the Prophets: 
\verseNumber{33}Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions, 
\verseNumber{34}Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworde, of weake were made strong, waxed valiant in battell, turned to flight the armies of the aliants. 
\verseNumber{35}The women receiued their dead raised to life: other also were racked, and woulde not be deliuered, that they might receiue a better resurrection. 
\verseNumber{36}And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment. 
\verseNumber{37}They were stoned, they were hewen asunder, they were tempted, they were slaine with the sworde, they wandred vp and downe in sheepes skinnes, and in goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented: 
\verseNumber{38}Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth. 
\verseNumber{39}And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise, 
\verseNumber{40}God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{12}Wherefore, let vs also, seeing that we are compassed with so great a cloude of witnesses, cast away euery thing that presseth downe, and the sinne that hangeth so fast on: let vs runne with patience the race that is set before vs, 
\verseNumber{2}Looking vnto Iesus the authour and finisher of our faith, who for the ioy that was set before him, endured the crosse, and despised the shame, and is set at the right hand of the throne of God. 
\verseNumber{3}Consider therefore him that endured such speaking against of sinners, lest ye should be wearied and faint in your mindes. 
\verseNumber{4}Ye haue not yet resisted vnto blood, striuing against sinne. 
\verseNumber{5}And ye haue forgotten the consolation, which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, My sonne, despise not the chastening of the Lord, neither faint when thou art rebuked of him. 
\verseNumber{6}For whom the Lord loueth, he chasteneth: and he scourgeth euery sonne that he receiueth: 
\verseNumber{7}If ye endure chastening, God offereth him selfe vnto you as vnto sonnes: for what sonne is it whom the father chasteneth not? 
\verseNumber{8}If therefore ye be without correction, whereof al are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes. 
\verseNumber{9}Moreouer we haue had the fathers of our bodies which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: should we not much rather be in subiection vnto the father of spirites, that we might liue? 
\verseNumber{10}For they verely for a few dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure: but he chasteneth vs for our profite, that we might be partakers of his holinesse. 
\verseNumber{11}Now no chastising for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but, grieuous: but afterwarde, it bringeth the quiet fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are thereby exercised. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherfore lift vp your hands which hang downe, and your weake knees, 
\verseNumber{13}And make straight steppes vnto your feete, lest that which is halting, be turned out of the way, but let it rather be healed. 
\verseNumber{14}Followe peace with all men, and holinesse, without the which no man shall see ye Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}Take heede, that no man fall away from the grace of God: let no roote of bitternes spring vp and trouble you, lest thereby many be defiled. 
\verseNumber{16}Let there be no fornicator, or prophane person as Esau, which for one portion of meate solde his birthright. 
\verseNumber{17}For ye knowe howe that afterwarde also when he woulde haue inherited the blessing, he was reiected: for he founde no place to repentance, though he sought that blessing with teares. 
\verseNumber{18}For ye are not come vnto the mount that might be touched, nor vnto burning fire, nor to blacknes and darkenes, and tempest, 
\verseNumber{19}Neither vnto the sounde of a trumpet, and the voyce of wordes, which they that heard it, excused themselues, that the word should not be spoken to them any more, 
\verseNumber{20}(For they were not able to abide that which was commanded, yea, though a beast touche the mountaine, it shalbe stoned, or thrust through with a dart: 
\verseNumber{21}And so terrible was the sight which appeared, that Moses said, I feare and quake.) 
\verseNumber{22}But ye are come vnto the mount Sion, and to the citie of the liuing God, the celestiall Hierusalem, and to ye company of innumerable Angels, 
\verseNumber{23}And to the assemblie and congregation of the first borne, which are written in heauen, and to God the iudge of all, and to the spirits of iust and perfite men, 
\verseNumber{24}And to Iesus the Mediatour of the new Testament, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaketh better things then that of Abel. 
\verseNumber{25}See that ye despise not him that speaketh: for if they escaped not which refused him, that spake on earth: much more shall we not escape, if we turne away from him, that speaketh from heauen. 
\verseNumber{26}Whose voyce then shooke the earth and nowe hath declared, saying, Yet once more will I shake, not the earth onely, but also heauen. 
\verseNumber{27}And this worde, Yet once more, signifieth the remouing of those things which are shaken, as of things which are made with hands, that the things which are not shaken, may remaine. 
\verseNumber{28}Wherefore seeing we receiue a kingdome, which cannot be shaken, let vs haue grace whereby we may so serue God, that we may please him with reuerence and feare. 
\verseNumber{29}For euen our God is a consuming fire. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{13}Let brotherly loue continue. 
\verseNumber{2}Be not forgetfull to intertaine strangers: for thereby some haue receiued Angels into their houses vnwares. 
\verseNumber{3}Remember them that are in bondes, as though ye were bounde with them: and them that are in affliction, as if ye were also afflicted in the body. 
\verseNumber{4}Mariage is honorable among all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will iudge. 
\verseNumber{5}Let your conuersation be without couetousnesse, and be content with those things that ye haue, for he hath said, 
\verseNumber{6}I will not faile thee, neither forsake thee: 
\verseNumber{7}So that we may boldly say, The Lord is mine helper, neither will I feare what man can doe vnto me. 
\verseNumber{8}Remember them which haue the ouersight of you, which haue declared vnto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering what hath bene the ende of their conuersation. Iesus Christ yesterday, and to day, the same also is for euer. 
\verseNumber{9}Be not caried about with diuers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with meates, which haue not profited them that haue bene occupied therein. 
\verseNumber{10}We haue an altar, whereof they haue no authoritie to eate, which serue in the tabernacle. 
\verseNumber{11}For the bodies of those beastes whose blood is brought into the Holy place by the high Priest for sinne, are burnt without the campe. 
\verseNumber{12}Therefore euen Iesus, that he might sanctifie the people with his owne blood, suffered without the gate. 
\verseNumber{13}Let vs goe foorth to him therefore out of the campe, bearing his reproch. 
\verseNumber{14}For here haue we no continuing citie: but we seeke one to come. 
\verseNumber{15}Let vs therefore by him offer the sacrifice of prayse alwaies to God, that is, the fruite of the lippes, which confesse his Name. 
\verseNumber{16}To doe good, and to distribute forget not: for with such sacrifices God is pleased. 
\verseNumber{17}Obey them that haue the ouersight of you, and submit your selues: for they watche for your soules, as they that must giue accountes, that they may doe it with ioy, and not with griefe: for that is vnprofitable for you. 
\verseNumber{18}Pray for vs: for we are assured that we haue a good conscience in all things, desiring to liue honestly. 
\verseNumber{19}And I desire you somewhat the more earnestly, that yee so doe, that I may be restored to you more quickly. 
\verseNumber{20}The God of peace that brought againe from the dead our Lord Iesus, the great shepheard of the sheepe, through the blood of the euerlasting Couenant, 
\verseNumber{21}Make you perfect in all good workes, to doe his will, working in you that which is pleasant in his sight through Iesus Christ, to whom be praise for euer and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{22}I beseeche you also, brethren, suffer the wordes of exhortation: for I haue written vnto you in fewe wordes. 
\verseNumber{23}Knowe that our brother Timotheus is deliuered, with whome (if hee come shortly) I will see you. 
\verseNumber{24}Salute all them that haue the ouersight of you, and all the Saintes. They of Italie salute you. 
\verseNumber{25}Grace be with you all, Amen. ‘Written to the Hebrewes from Italie, and sent by Timotheus.’

\chapterNumber{1}Iames a seruant of God, and of the Lord Iesus Christ, to the twelue Tribes, which are scattered abroade, salutation. 
\verseNumber{2}My brethren, count it exceeding ioy, when ye fall into diuers tentations, 
\verseNumber{3}Knowing that ye trying of your faith bringeth forth patience, 
\verseNumber{4}And let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect and entier, lacking nothing. 
\verseNumber{5}If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, which giueth to all men liberally, and reprocheth no man, and it shalbe giuen him. 
\verseNumber{6}But let him aske in faith, and wauer not: for hee that wauereth, is like a waue of the sea, tost of the winde, and caried away. 
\verseNumber{7}Neither let that man thinke that hee shall receiue any thing of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{8}A double minded man is vnstable in all his waies. 
\verseNumber{9}Let the brother of lowe degree reioyce in that he is exalted: 
\verseNumber{10}Againe hee that is rich, in that hee is made lowe: for as the flower of the grasse, shall he vanish away. 
\verseNumber{11}For as when the sunne riseth with heate, then the grasse withereth, and his flower falleth away, and the goodly shape of it perisheth: euen so shall the rich man wither away in all his waies. 
\verseNumber{12}Blessed is ye man, that endureth tentation: for when he is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him. 
\verseNumber{13}Let no man say when hee is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God can not bee tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man. 
\verseNumber{14}But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away by his owne concupiscence, and is entised. 
\verseNumber{15}Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth foorth sinne, and sinne when it is finished, bringeth foorth death. 
\verseNumber{16}Erre not, my deare brethren. 
\verseNumber{17}Euery good giuing, and euery perfect gift is from aboue, and commeth downe from the Father of lights, with whome is no variablenes, neither shadow of turning. 
\verseNumber{18}Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures. 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath. 
\verseNumber{20}For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God. 
\verseNumber{21}Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules. 
\verseNumber{22}And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues. 
\verseNumber{23}For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse. 
\verseNumber{24}For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was. 
\verseNumber{25}But who so looketh in the perfect Lawe of libertie, and continueth therein, hee not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the woorke, shalbe blessed in his deede. 
\verseNumber{26}If any man amog you seeme religious, and refraineth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine. 
\verseNumber{27}Pure religion and vndefiled before God, euen the Father, is this, to visite the fatherlesse, and widdowes in their aduersitie, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted of the world.

\chapterNumber{2}My brethren, haue not the faith of our glorious Lord Iesus Christ in respect of persons. 
\verseNumber{2}For if there come into your company a man with a golde ring, and in goodly apparell, and there come in also a poore man in vile raiment, 
\verseNumber{3}And ye haue a respect to him that weareth the gaie clothing; and say vnto him, Sit thou here in a goodly place, and say vnto the poore, Stand thou there, or sit here vnder my footestoole, 
\verseNumber{4}Are yee not partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts? 
\verseNumber{5}Hearken my beloued brethren, hath not God chosen the poore of this worlde, that they should be rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome which he promised to them that loue him? 
\verseNumber{6}But ye haue despised the poore. Doe not the riche oppresse you by tyrannie, and doe not they drawe you before the iudgement seates? 
\verseNumber{7}Doe nor they blaspheme the worthie Name after which yee be named? 
\verseNumber{8}But if yee fulfill the royall Lawe according to the Scripture, which saith, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe, yee doe well. 
\verseNumber{9}But if yee regarde the persons, yee commit sinne, and are rebuked of the Lawe, as transgressours. 
\verseNumber{10}For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Lawe, and yet faileth in one poynt, hee is guiltie of all. 
\verseNumber{11}For he that saide, Thou shalt not commit adulterie, saide also, Thou shalt not kill. Nowe though thou doest none adulterie, yet if thou killest, thou art a transgressour of the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{12}So speake ye, and so doe, as they that shall be iudged by the Lawe of libertie. 
\verseNumber{13}For there shalbe condemnation merciles to him that sheweth not mercie, and mercie reioyceth against condemnation. 
\verseNumber{14}What auaileth it, my brethren, though a man saith he hath faith, when he hath no workes? can that faith saue him? 
\verseNumber{15}For if a brother or a sister bee naked and destitute of daily foode, 
\verseNumber{16}And one of you say vnto them, Depart in peace: warme your selues, and fil your bellies, notwithstading ye giue them not those things which are needefull to the body, what helpeth it? 
\verseNumber{17}Euen so the faith, if it haue no woorkes, is dead in it selfe. 
\verseNumber{18}But some man might say, Thou hast the faith, and I haue woorkes: shewe me thy faith out of thy woorkes, and I will shewe thee my faith by my woorkes. 
\verseNumber{19}Thou beleeuest that there is one God: thou doest well: the deuils also beleeue it, and tremble. 
\verseNumber{20}But wilt thou vnderstand, O thou vaine man, that the faith which is without workes, is dead? 
\verseNumber{21}Was not Abraham our father iustified through workes, when he offred Isaac his sonne vpon the altar? 
\verseNumber{22}Seest thou not that the faith wrought with his workes? and through the workes was the faith made perfect. 
\verseNumber{23}And the Scripture was fulfilled which sayeth, Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed vnto him for righteousnesse: and hee was called the friende of God. 
\verseNumber{24}Ye see then howe that of workes a man is iustified, and not of faith onely. 
\verseNumber{25}Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot iustified through workes, when she had receiued ye messengers, and sent them out another way? 
\verseNumber{26}For as the body without ye spirit is dead, euen so the faith without workes is dead. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receiue the greater condemnation. 
\verseNumber{2}For in many things we sinne all. If any man sinne not in word, he is a perfect man, and able to bridle all the body. 
\verseNumber{3}Beholde, we put bittes into the horses mouthes, that they should obey vs, and we turne about all their bodie. 
\verseNumber{4}Behold also the shippes, which though they be so great, and are driuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small rudder, whither soeuer the gouernour listeth. 
\verseNumber{5}Euen so the tongue is a litle member, and boasteth of great things: beholde, howe great a thing a litle fire kindleth. 
\verseNumber{6}And the tongue is fire, yea, a worlde of wickednesse: so is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature, and it is set on fire of hell. 
\verseNumber{7}For the whole nature of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and things of the sea is tamed, and hath bene tamed of the nature of man. 
\verseNumber{8}But the tongue can no man tame. It is an vnruly euill, full of deadly poyson. 
\verseNumber{9}Therewith blesse we God euen the Father, and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 
\verseNumber{10}Out of one mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be. 
\verseNumber{11}Doeth a fountaine send forth at one place sweete water and bitter? 
\verseNumber{12}Can ye figge tree, my brethren, bring forth oliues, either a vine figges? so can no fountaine make both salt water and sweete. 
\verseNumber{13}Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew by good conuersation his workes in meekenesse of wisdome. 
\verseNumber{14}But if ye haue bitter enuying and strife in your hearts, reioyce not, neither be liars against the trueth. 
\verseNumber{15}This wisedome descendeth not from aboue, but is earthly, sensuall, and deuilish. 
\verseNumber{16}For where enuying and strife is, there is sedition, and all maner of euill workes. 
\verseNumber{17}But the wisedome that is from aboue, is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easie to be intreated, full of mercie and good fruites, without iudging, and without hipocrisie. 
\verseNumber{18}And the fruite of righteousnesse is sowen in peace, of them that make peace.

\chapterNumber{4}From whence are warres and contentions among you? are they not hence, euen of your pleasures, that fight in your members? 
\verseNumber{2}Ye lust, and haue not: ye enuie, and desire immoderately, and cannot obtaine: ye fight and warre, and get nothing, because ye aske not. 
\verseNumber{3}Ye aske, and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that ye might lay the same out on your pleasures. 
\verseNumber{4}Ye adulterers and adulteresses, knowe ye not that the amitie of the world is the enimitie of God? Whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, maketh himselfe the enemie of God. 
\verseNumber{5}Doe ye thinke that the Scripture sayeth in vaine, The spirit that dwelleth in vs, lusteth after enuie? 
\verseNumber{6}But the Scripture offereth more grace, and therefore sayth, God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble. 
\verseNumber{7}Submit your selues to God: resist the deuill, and he will flee from you. 
\verseNumber{8}Drawe neere to God, and he will drawe neere to you. Clense your handes, ye sinners, and purge your hearts, ye double minded. 
\verseNumber{9}Suffer afflictions, and sorrowe ye, and weepe: let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your ioy into heauinesse. 
\verseNumber{10}Cast downe your selues before the Lord, and he will lift you vp. 
\verseNumber{11}Speake not euill one of another, brethren. He that speaketh euill of his brother, or he that condemneth his brother, speaketh euill of ye Law, and condemneth the Lawe: and if thou condemnest the Lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the Lawe, but a iudge. 
\verseNumber{12}There is one Lawgiuer, which is able to saue, and to destroy. Who art thou that iudgest another man? 
\verseNumber{13}Goe to now ye that say, To day or to morowe we will goe into such a citie, and continue there a yeere, and bye and sell, and get gaine, 
\verseNumber{14}(And yet ye cannot tell what shalbe to morowe. For what is your life? It is euen a vapour that appeareth for a litle time, and afterward vanisheth away) 
\verseNumber{15}For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, and, if we liue, we will doe this or that. 
\verseNumber{16}But now ye reioyce in your boastings: all such reioycing is euill. 
\verseNumber{17}Therefore, to him that knoweth how to doe well, and doeth it not, to him it is sinne. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Goe to nowe, ye rich men: weepe, and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you. 
\verseNumber{2}Your riches are corrupt, and your garments are moth eaten. 
\verseNumber{3}Your gold and siluer is cankred, and the rust of them shalbe a witnesse against you, and shall eate your flesh, as it were fire. Ye haue heaped vp treasure for the last dayes. 
\verseNumber{4}Behold, the hire of ye labourers, which haue reaped your fieldes (which is of you kept backe by fraude) cryeth, and the cryes of them which haue reaped, are entred into the eares of the Lord of hostes. 
\verseNumber{5}Ye haue liued in pleasure on the earth, and in wantonnes. Ye haue nourished your heartes, as in a day of slaughter. 
\verseNumber{6}Ye haue condemned and haue killed the iust, and he hath not resisted you. 
\verseNumber{7}Be patient therefore, brethren, vnto the comming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman wayteth for the precious fruite of the earth, and hath long patience for it, vntill he receiue the former, and the latter rayne. 
\verseNumber{8}Be ye also patient therefore and settle your hearts: for ye comming of the Lord draweth neere. 
\verseNumber{9}Grudge not one against another, brethren, least ye be condemned: behold, the iudge standeth before the doore. 
\verseNumber{10}Take, my brethren, the Prophets for an ensample of suffering aduersitie, and of long patience, which haue spoken in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{11}Beholde, we count them blessed which endure. Ye haue heard of the patience of Iob, and haue knowen what ende the Lord made. For the Lord is very pitifull and mercifull. 
\verseNumber{12}But before all thinges, my brethren, sweare not, neither by heauen, nor by earth, nor by any other othe: but let your yea, be yea, and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation. 
\verseNumber{13}Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merie? Let him sing. 
\verseNumber{14}Is any sicke among you? Let him call for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray for him, and anoynt him with oyle in the Name of the Lord. 
\verseNumber{15}And the prayer of faith shall saue the sicke, and the Lord shall raise him vp: and if he haue committed sinnes, they shalbe forgiuen him. 
\verseNumber{16}Acknowledge your faultes one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed: for the prayer of a righteous man auaileth much, if it be feruent. 
\verseNumber{17}Helias was a man subiect to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rayne, and it rayned not on the earth for three yeeres and sixe moneths. 
\verseNumber{18}And he prayed againe, and the heauen gaue rayne, and the earth brought forth her fruite. 
\verseNumber{19}Brethren, if any of you hath erred from the trueth, and some man hath conuerted him, 
\verseNumber{20}Let him know that he which hath conuerted the sinner from going astray out of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shall hide a multitude of sinnes.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}PETER an Apostle of IESVS CHRIST, to the strangers that dwell here and there throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 
\verseNumber{2}Elect according to the foreknowledge of God ye Father vnto sanctification of ye Spirit, through obedience and sprinkeling of the blood of Iesus Christ: Grace and peace bee multiplied vnto you. 
\verseNumber{3}Blessed bee God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which according to his aboundant mercie hath begotten vs againe vnto a liuely hope by the resurrection of Iesus Christ from the dead, 
\verseNumber{4}To an inheritance immortall and vndefiled, and that withereth not, reserued in heauen for vs, 
\verseNumber{5}Which are kept by the power of God through faith vnto saluation, which is prepared to be shewed in the last time. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherein yee reioyce, though nowe for a season (if neede require) yee are in heauinesse, through manifolde tentations, 
\verseNumber{7}That the triall of your faith, being much more precious then golde that perisheth (though it be tried with fire) might bee founde vnto your praise, and honour and glorie at the appearing of Iesus Christ: 
\verseNumber{8}Whome yee haue not seene, and yet loue him, in whome nowe, though yee see him not, yet doe you beleeue, and reioyce with ioy vnspeakeable and glorious, 
\verseNumber{9}Receiuing the ende of your faith, euen the saluation of your soules. 
\verseNumber{10}Of the which saluation ye Prophets haue inquired and searched, which prophecied of the grace that should come vnto you, 
\verseNumber{11}Searching when or what time the Spirite which testified before of Christ which was in them, shoulde declare the sufferings that should come vnto Christ, and the glorie that shoulde follow. 
\verseNumber{12}Vnto whome it was reueiled, that not vnto themselues, but vnto vs they shoulde minister the things, which are nowe shewed vnto you by them which haue preached vnto you the Gospell by the holy Ghost sent downe from heauen, the which things the Angels desire to beholde. 
\verseNumber{13}Wherefore, girde vp the Ioynes of your minde: bee sober, and trust perfectly on that grace that is brought vnto you, in the reuelation of Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{14}As obedient children, not fashioning your selues vnto the former lustes of your ignorance: 
\verseNumber{15}But as hee which hath called you, is holie, so be yee holie in all maner of conuersation; 
\verseNumber{16}Because it is written, Be yee holie, for I am holie. 
\verseNumber{17}And if ye call him Father, which without respect of person iudgeth according to euery mans woorke, passe the time of your dwelling here in feare, 
\verseNumber{18}Knowing that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the fathers, 
\verseNumber{19}But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot. 
\verseNumber{20}Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes, 
\verseNumber{21}Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God, 
\verseNumber{22}Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently, 
\verseNumber{23}Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer. 
\verseNumber{24}For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth away. 
\verseNumber{25}But the worde of the Lord endureth for euer: and this is the woorde which is preached among you. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Wherefore, laying aside all maliciousnes, and all guile, and dissimulation, and enuie, and all euill speaking, 
\verseNumber{2}As newe borne babes desire that sincere milke of the woorde, that yee may growe thereby, 
\verseNumber{3}Because yee haue tasted that the Lord is bountifull. 
\verseNumber{4}To whome comming as vnto a liuing stone disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious, 
\verseNumber{5}Yee also as liuely stones, bee made a spirituall house, an holy Priesthoode to offer vp spirituall sacrifices acceptable to God by Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore also it is conteyned in the Scripture, Beholde, I put in Sion a chiefe corner stone, elect and precious: and hee that beleeueth therein, shall not be ashamed. 
\verseNumber{7}Vnto you therefore which beleeue, it is precious: but vnto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 
\verseNumber{8}And a stone to stumble at, and a rocke of offence, euen to them which stumble at the woorde, being disobedient, vnto the which thing they were euen ordeined. 
\verseNumber{9}But yee are a chosen generation, a royall Priesthoode, an holy nation, a people set at libertie, that yee shoulde shewe foorth the vertues of him that hath called you out of darkenesse into his marueilous light, 
\verseNumber{10}Which in time past were not a people, yet are nowe the people of God: which in time past were not vnder mercie, but nowe haue obteined mercie. 
\verseNumber{11}Dearely beloued, I beseeche you, as strangers and pilgrims, abstaine from fleshly lusts, which fight against the soule, 
\verseNumber{12}And haue your conuersation honest among the Gentiles, that they which speake euill of you as of euill doers, may by your good woorkes which they shall see, glorifie God in the day of visitation. 
\verseNumber{13}Therefore submit your selues vnto all maner ordinance of man for the Lordes sake, whether it be vnto the King, as vnto the superiour, 
\verseNumber{14}Or vnto gouernours, as vnto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of euill doers, and for the praise of them that doe well. 
\verseNumber{15}For so is the will of God, that by well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men, 
\verseNumber{16}As free, and not as hauing the libertie for a cloke of maliciousnesse, but as the seruauntes of God. 
\verseNumber{17}Honour all men: loue brotherly fellowship: feare God: honour the King. 
\verseNumber{18}Seruaunts, be subiect to your masters with all feare, not onely to the good and courteous, but also to the froward. 
\verseNumber{19}For this is thanke worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully. 
\verseNumber{20}For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faultes, yee take it paciently? but and if when ye doe well, ye suffer wrong and take it paciently, this is acceptable to God. 
\verseNumber{21}For hereunto ye are called: for Christ also suffred for you, leauing you an ensample that ye should follow his steppes. 
\verseNumber{22}Who did no sinne, neither was there guile found in his mouth. 
\verseNumber{23}Who when hee was reuiled, reuiled not againe: when hee suffered, hee threatned not, but comitted it to him that iudgeth righteously. 
\verseNumber{24}Who his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we being dead to sinne, should liue in righteousnesse: by whose stripes ye were healed. 
\verseNumber{25}For ye were as sheepe going astray: but are nowe returned vnto the shepheard and Bishop of your soules. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{3}Likewise let the wiues bee subiect to their husbands, that euen they which obey not the worde, may without the worde be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues, 
\verseNumber{2}While they beholde your pure conuersation, which is with feare. 
\verseNumber{3}Whose apparelling, let it not be that outwarde, with broyded heare, and golde put about, or in putting on of apparell: 
\verseNumber{4}But let it bee the hidde man of the heart, which consisteth in the incorruption of a meeke and quiet spirite, which is before God a thing much set by. 
\verseNumber{5}For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women, which trusted in God, tire them selues, and were subiect to their husbands. 
\verseNumber{6}As Sara obeyed Abraham, and called him Sir: whose daughters ye are, whiles yee doe well, not being afraide of any terrour. 
\verseNumber{7}Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them as men of knowledge, giuing honour vnto the woman, as vnto the weaker vessell, euen as they which are heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not interrupted. 
\verseNumber{8}Finally, be ye all of one minde: one suffer with another: loue as brethren: bee pitifull: bee courteous, 
\verseNumber{9}Not rendring euil for euill, neither rebuke for rebuke: but contrarywise blesse, knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should be heires of blessing. 
\verseNumber{10}For if any man long after life, and to see good dayes, let him refraine his tongue from euill, and his lippes that they speake no guile. 
\verseNumber{11}Let him eschew euil, and do good: let him seeke peace, and follow after it. 
\verseNumber{12}For the eyes of the Lord are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their prayers: and the face of the Lord is against them that do euil. 
\verseNumber{13}And who is it that will harme you, if ye follow that which is good? 
\verseNumber{14}Notwithstanding blessed are ye, if ye suffer for righteousnes sake. Yea, feare not their feare, neither be troubled. 
\verseNumber{15}But sanctifie the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready alwayes to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekenesse and reuerence, 
\verseNumber{16}Hauing a good coscience, that whe they speake euill of you as of euill doers, they may be ashamed, which slander your good conuersation in Christ. 
\verseNumber{17}For it is better (if the will of God be so) that ye suffer for well doing, then for euil doing. 
\verseNumber{18}For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust, that he might bring vs to God, and was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened by the spirit. 
\verseNumber{19}By the which hee also went, and preached vnto the spirits that are in prison. 
\verseNumber{20}Which were in time passed disobedient, when once the long suffering of God abode in the dayes of Noe, while the Arke was preparing, wherein fewe, that is, eight soules were saued in the water. 
\verseNumber{21}Whereof the baptisme that nowe is, answering that figure, (which is not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but a confident demaunding which a good conscience maketh to God) saueth vs also by the resurrection of Iesus Christ, 
\verseNumber{22}Which is at the right hand of God, gone into heauen, to whom the Angels, and Powers, and might are subiect. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{4}Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the flesh, arme your selues likewise with the same minde, which is, that he which hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sinne, 
\verseNumber{2}That he hence forward should liue (as much time as remaineth in the flesh) not after the lusts of men, but after the will of God. 
\verseNumber{3}For it is sufficient for vs that we haue spet the time past of ye life, after the lust of the Gentiles, walking in wantonnes, lustes, drunkennes, in gluttonie, drinkings, and in abominable idolatries. 
\verseNumber{4}Wherein it seemeth to them strange, that yee runne not with them vnto the same excesse of riot: therefore speake they euill of you, 
\verseNumber{5}Which shall giue accounts to him, that is readie to iudge quicke and dead. 
\verseNumber{6}For vnto this purpose was the Gospell preached also vnto the dead, that they might bee condemned, according to men in the flesh, but might liue according to God in the spirit. 
\verseNumber{7}Now the ende of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watching in prayer. 
\verseNumber{8}But aboue all thinges haue feruent loue among you: for loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes. 
\verseNumber{9}Be ye harberous one to another, without grudging. 
\verseNumber{10}Let euery man as hee hath receiued the gift, minister the same one to another, as good disposers of the manifolde grace of God. 
\verseNumber{11}If any man speake, let him speake as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth, that God in al things may be glorified through Iesus Christ, to whome is prayse and dominion for euer, and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{12}Dearely beloued, thinke it not strange concerning the firie triall, which is among you to proue you, as though some strange thing were come vnto you: 
\verseNumber{13}But reioyce, in asmuch as ye are partakers of Christs suffrings, that when his glory shall appeare, ye may be glad and reioyce. 
\verseNumber{14}If yee be railed vpon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: which on their part is euill spoken of: but on your part is glorified. 
\verseNumber{15}But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euil doer, or as a busibodie in other mens matters. 
\verseNumber{16}But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe. 
\verseNumber{17}For the time is come, that iudgement must beginne at the house of God. If it first beginne at vs, what shall the ende be of them which obey not the Gospel of God? 
\verseNumber{18}And if the righteous scarcely bee saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare? 
\verseNumber{19}Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}The elders which are among you, I beseech which am also an elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shalbe reueiled, 
\verseNumber{2}Feede the flocke of God, which dependeth vpon you, caring for it not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde: 
\verseNumber{3}Not as though ye were lords ouer Gods heritage, but that yee may bee ensamples to the flocke. 
\verseNumber{4}And when that chiefe shepheard shall appeare, ye shall receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory. 
\verseNumber{5}Likewise ye yonger, submit your selues vnto the elders, and submit your selues euery man, one to another: decke your selues inwardly in lowlinesse of minde: for God resisteth the proude, and giueth grace to the humble. 
\verseNumber{6}Humble your selues therefore vnder the mightie hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. 
\verseNumber{7}Cast all your care on him: for he careth for you. 
\verseNumber{8}Be sober, and watch: for your aduersarie the deuil as a roaring lyon walketh about, seeking whom he may deuoure: 
\verseNumber{9}Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren which are in the world. 
\verseNumber{10}And the God of all grace, which hath called vs vnto his eternall glory by Christ Iesus, after that ye haue suffered a litle, make you perfite, confirme, strengthen and stablish you. 
\verseNumber{11}To him be glory and dominion for euer and euer, Amen. 
\verseNumber{12}By Syluanus a faithfull brother vnto you, as I suppose, haue I written briefly, exhorting and testifying how that this is the true grace of God, wherein ye stand. 
\verseNumber{13}The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne. 
\verseNumber{14}Greete yee one another with the kisse of loue. Peace be with you all which are in Christ Iesus, Amen.

\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{1}Simon Peter a seruant and an Apostle of Iesus Christ, to you which haue obteined like precious faith with vs by the righteousnesse of our God and Sauiour Iesus Christ: 
\verseNumber{2}Grace and peace be multiplied to you, through the acknowledging of God, and of Iesus our Lord, 
\verseNumber{3}According as his diuine power hath giuen vnto vs all things that perteine vnto life and godlinesse, through the acknowledging of him that hath called vs vnto glory and vertue. 
\verseNumber{4}Whereby most great and precious promises are giuen vnto vs, that by them ye should be partakers of the diuine nature, in that ye flee the corruption, which is in the worlde through lust. 
\verseNumber{5}Therefore giue euen all diligence thereunto: ioyne moreouer vertue with your faith: and with vertue, knowledge: 
\verseNumber{6}And with knowledge, temperance: and with temperance, patience: and with patience, godlines: 
\verseNumber{7}And with godlines, brotherly kindnes: and with brotherly kindnes, loue. 
\verseNumber{8}For if these things be among you, and abound, they will make you that ye neither shalbe idle, nor vnfruitfull in the acknowledging of our Lord Iesus Christ: 
\verseNumber{9}For he that hath not these things, is blinde, and can not see farre off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his olde sinnes. 
\verseNumber{10}Wherefore, brethren, giue rather diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye doe these things, ye shall neuer fall. 
\verseNumber{11}For by this meanes an entring shalbe ministred vnto you aboundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{12}Wherefore, I will not be negligent to put you alwayes in remembrance of these things, though that ye haue knowledge, and be stablished in the present trueth. 
\verseNumber{13}For I thinke it meete as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stirre you vp by putting you in remembrance, 
\verseNumber{14}Seeing I knowe that the time is at hand that I must lay downe this my tabernacle, euen as our Lord Iesus Christ hath shewed me. 
\verseNumber{15}I will endeuour therefore alwayes, that ye also may be able to haue remembrance of these things after my departing. 
\verseNumber{16}For we followed not deceiuable fables when we opened vnto you the power, and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but with our eyes we saw his maiestie: 
\verseNumber{17}For he receiued of God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voyce to him from that excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne, in whom I am well pleased. 
\verseNumber{18}And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount. 
\verseNumber{19}We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts. 
\verseNumber{20}So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation. 
\verseNumber{21}For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}Bvt there were false prophets also among the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers among you: which priuily shall bring in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lord, that hath bought them, and bring vpon themselues swift damnation. 
\verseNumber{2}And many shall follow their destructions, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euil spoken of, 
\verseNumber{3}And through couetousnes shall they with fained words make marchandise of you, whose condemnation long since resteth not, and their destruction slumbreth not. 
\verseNumber{4}For if God spared not the Angels that had sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and deliuered them into chaines of darkenes, to be kept vnto damnation: 
\verseNumber{5}Neither hath spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eight person a preacher of righteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the world of the vngodly, 
\verseNumber{6}And turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrhe into ashes, condemned them and ouerthrewe them, and made them an ensample vnto them that after should liue vngodly, 
\verseNumber{7}And deliuered iust Loth vexed with the vncleanly conuersation of the wicked: 
\verseNumber{8}(For he being righteous, and dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day with their vnlawfull deedes.) 
\verseNumber{9}The Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly out of tentation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement vnder punishment. 
\verseNumber{10}And chiefly them that walke after the flesh, in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernement, which are bolde, and stand in their owne conceite, and feare not to speake euill of them that are in dignitie. 
\verseNumber{11}Where as the Angels which are greater both in power and might, giue not railing iudgement against them before the Lord. 
\verseNumber{12}But these, as naturall brute beasts, led with sensualitie and made to be taken, and destroyed, speake euill of those things which they know not, and shall perish through their owne corruption, 
\verseNumber{13}And shall receiue the wages of vnrighteousnes, as they which count it pleasure dayly to liue deliciously. Spottes they are and blottes, deliting them selues in their deceiuings, in feasting with you, 
\verseNumber{14}Hauing eyes full of adulterie, and that can not cease to sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: they haue heartes exercised with couetousnesse, they are the children of curse: 
\verseNumber{15}Which forsaking the right way, haue gone astray, folowing the way of Balaam, the sonne of Bosor, which loued the wages of vnrighteousnes. 
\verseNumber{16}But he was rebuked for his iniquitie: for the dumme beast speaking with mans voyce, forbade the foolishnesse of the Prophet. 
\verseNumber{17}These are welles without water, and cloudes caried about with a tempest, to whome the blacke darkenes is reserued for euer.

\verseNumber{19}Promising vnto them libertie, and are themselues the seruants of corruption: for of whomsoeuer a man is ouercome, euen vnto the same is he in bondage. 
\verseNumber{20}For if they, after they haue escaped from the filthinesse of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Sauiour Iesus Christ, are yet tangled againe therein, and ouercome, the latter ende is worse with them then the beginning. 
\verseNumber{21}For it had bene better for them, not to haue acknowledged the way of righteousnes, then after they haue acknowledged it, to turne from the holy commandement giuen vnto them.

\chapterNumber{3}This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes, 
\verseNumber{2}To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour. 
\verseNumber{3}This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes, 
\verseNumber{4}And say, Where is the promise of his comming? for since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation. 
\verseNumber{5}For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God. 
\verseNumber{6}Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water. 
\verseNumber{7}But the heauens and earth, which are nowe, are kept by the same word in store, and reserued vnto fire against the day of condemnation, and of the destruction of vngodly men. 
\verseNumber{8}Dearely beloued, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, as a thousande yeeres, and a thousande yeeres as one day. 
\verseNumber{9}The Lord of that promise is not slacke (as some men count slackenesse) but is pacient toward vs, and would haue no man to perish, but would all men to come to repentance. 
\verseNumber{10}But the day of the Lord will come as a thiefe in the night, in the which the heauens shall passe away with a noyse, and the elements shall melt with heate, and the earth with the workes that are therein, shalbe burnt vp. 
\verseNumber{11}Seeing therefore that all these thinges must be dissolued, what maner persons ought ye to be in holy conuersation and godlinesse, 
\verseNumber{12}Looking for, and hasting vnto the comming of that day of God, by the which the heauens being on fire, shall be dissolued, and the elements shall melt with heate? 
\verseNumber{13}But wee looke for newe heauens, and a newe earth, according to his promise, wherein dwelleth righteousnesse. 
\verseNumber{14}Wherefore, beloued, seeing that yee looke for such thinges, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blamelesse. 
\verseNumber{15}And suppose that the long suffering of our Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul according to the wisedome giuen vnto him wrote to you, 
\verseNumber{16}As one, that in all his Epistles speaketh of these thinges: among the which some thinges are hard to be vnderstand, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable, wrest, as they do also other Scriptures vnto their owne destruction. 
\verseNumber{17}Ye therefore beloued, seeing ye know these thinges before, beware, lest ye be also plucked away with the errour of the wicked, and fall from your owne stedfastnesse. 
\verseNumber{18}But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ: to him be glory both now and for euermore. Amen.

\chapterNumber{1}That which was from the beginning, which wee haue heard, which wee haue seene with these our eyes, which wee haue looked vpon, and these handes of ours haue handled of that Word of life, 
\verseNumber{2}(For that life was made manifest, and wee haue seene it, and beare witnes, and shewe vnto you that eternall life, which was with the Father, and was made manifest vnto vs) 
\verseNumber{3}That, I say, which wee haue seene and heard, declare wee vnto you, that yee may also haue fellowship with vs, and that our fellowship also may be with the Father, and with his Sonne Iesvs Christ. 
\verseNumber{4}And these thinges write we vnto you, that that your ioy may be full. 
\verseNumber{5}This then is the message which wee haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenes. 
\verseNumber{6}If wee say that wee haue fellowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not truely: 
\verseNumber{7}But if we walke in the light as he is in the light, we haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne. 
\verseNumber{8}If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and trueth is not in vs. 
\verseNumber{9}If we acknowledge our sinnes, he is faithfull and iust, to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to clense vs from all vnrighteousnes. 
\verseNumber{10}If wee say we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{2}My little children, these things write I vnto you, that ye sinne not: and if any man sinne, wee haue an Aduocate with the Father, Iesus Christ, the Iust. 
\verseNumber{2}And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes: and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole world. 
\verseNumber{3}And hereby we are sure that we knowe him, if we keepe his commandements. 
\verseNumber{4}Hee that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a liar, and the trueth is not in him. 
\verseNumber{5}But hee that keepeth his worde, in him is the loue of God perfect in deede: hereby wee knowe that ye are in him. 
\verseNumber{6}He that saith he remaineth in him, ought euen so to walke, as he hath walked. 
\verseNumber{7}Brethren, I write no newe commandement vnto you: but an olde commandement, which ye haue had from the beginning: this olde commandement is that worde, which yee haue heard from the beginning. 
\verseNumber{8}Againe, a new comandement I write vnto you, that which is true in him, and also in you: for the darkenes is past, and that true light now shineth. 
\verseNumber{9}He that saith that hee is in that light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenes, vntill this time. 
\verseNumber{10}Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in that light, and there is none occasion of euil in him. 
\verseNumber{11}But he that hateth his brother, is in darkenesse, and walketh in darkenesse, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darkenesse hath blinded his eyes. 
\verseNumber{12}Litle children, I write vnto you, because your sinnes are forgiuen you for his Names sake. 
\verseNumber{13}I write vnto you, fathers, because yee haue knowen him that is from the beginning. I write vnto you, yong men, because ye haue ouercome that wicked one. I write vnto you, litle children, because ye haue knowen ye Father. 
\verseNumber{14}I haue written vnto you, fathers, because ye haue knowen him, that is from the beginning. I haue written vnto you, yong men, because ye are strong, and the worde of God abideth in you, and ye haue ouercome that wicked one. 
\verseNumber{15}Loue not this world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man loue this world, the loue of the Father is not in him. 
\verseNumber{16}For all that is in this world (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world. 
\verseNumber{17}And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth euer. 
\verseNumber{18}Litle children, it is the last time, and as ye haue heard that Antichrist shall come, euen now are there many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time. 
\verseNumber{19}They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: for if they had bene of vs, they should haue continued with vs. But this cometh to passe, that it might appeare, that they are not all of vs. 
\verseNumber{20}But ye haue an ointment from that Holy one, and know all things. 
\verseNumber{21}I haue not written vnto you, because ye knowe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lie is of the trueth. 
\verseNumber{22}Who is a liar, but he that denyeth that Iesus is that Christ? the same is that Antichrist that denyeth the Father and the Sonne. 
\verseNumber{23}Whosoeuer denyeth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father. 
\verseNumber{24}Let therefore abide in you that same which ye haue heard from the beginning. If that which ye haue heard from the beginning, shall remaine in you, ye also shall continue in the Sonne, and in the Father. 
\verseNumber{25}And this is the promise that he hath promised vs, euen that eternall life. 
\verseNumber{26}These things haue I written vnto you, concerning them that deceiue you. 
\verseNumber{27}But that anointing which ye receiued of him, dwelleth in you: and ye neede not that any man teach you: but as the same Anoynting teacheth you of all things, and it is true, and is not lying, and as it taught you, ye shall abide in him. 
\verseNumber{28}And nowe, litle children, abide in him, that when he shall appeare, we may be bolde, and not be ashamed before him at his comming. 
\verseNumber{29}If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that he which doeth righteously, is borne of him.

\chapterNumber{3}Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him. 
\verseNumber{2}Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is. 
\verseNumber{3}And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure. 
\verseNumber{4}Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe. 
\verseNumber{5}And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne. 
\verseNumber{6}Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him. 
\verseNumber{7}Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous. 
\verseNumber{8}He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil. 
\verseNumber{9}Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God. 
\verseNumber{10}In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother. 
\verseNumber{11}For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another, 
\verseNumber{12}Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good. 
\verseNumber{13}Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you. 
\verseNumber{14}We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death. 
\verseNumber{15}Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. 
\verseNumber{16}Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren. 
\verseNumber{17}And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him? 
\verseNumber{18}My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth. 
\verseNumber{19}For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts. 
\verseNumber{20}For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. 
\verseNumber{21}Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God. 
\verseNumber{22}And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. 
\verseNumber{23}This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement. 
\verseNumber{24}For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs.

\chapterNumber{4}Dearely beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits whether they are of God: for many false prophets are gone out into this worlde. 
\verseNumber{2}Hereby shall ye know the Spirit of God, Euery spirit which confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God. 
\verseNumber{3}And euery spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: but this is the spirit of Antichrist, of whome ye haue heard, how that he should come, and nowe already he is in this world. 
\verseNumber{4}Litle children, ye are of God, and haue ouercome them: for greater is he that is in you, then he that is in this world. 
\verseNumber{5}They are of this worlde, therefore speake they of this world, and this world heareth them. 
\verseNumber{6}We are of God, he that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Heereby knowe wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour. 
\verseNumber{7}Beloued, let vs loue one another: for loue commeth of God, and euery one that loueth, is borne of God, and knoweth God. 
\verseNumber{8}Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue. 
\verseNumber{9}Herein was that loue of God made manifest amongst vs, because God sent that his onely begotten sonne into this world, that we might liue through him. 
\verseNumber{10}Herein is that loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be a reconciliation for our sinnes. 
\verseNumber{11}Beloued, if God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another. 
\verseNumber{12}No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs. 
\verseNumber{13}Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, and he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit. 
\verseNumber{14}And we haue seene, and doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world. 
\verseNumber{15}Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, and he in God. 
\verseNumber{16}And we haue knowen, and beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, and God in him. 
\verseNumber{17}Herein is that loue perfect in vs, that we should haue boldnes in the day of iudgement: for as he is, euen so are we in this world. 
\verseNumber{18}There is no feare in loue, but perfect loue casteth out feare: for feare hath painefulnesse: and he that feareth, is not perfect in loue. 
\verseNumber{19}We loue him, because he loued vs first. 
\verseNumber{20}If any man say, I loue God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: for how can he that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene, loue God whom he hath not seene? 
\verseNumber{21}And this commandement haue we of him, that he that loueth God, should loue his brother also. 
\BibleParagraphStyleP
\chapterNumber{5}Whosoeuer beleeueth that Iesus is that Christ, is borne of God: and euery one that loueth him, which begate, loueth him also which is begotten of him. 
\verseNumber{2}In this we know that we loue the children of God, when we loue God, and keepe his commandements. 
\verseNumber{3}For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements: and his commandements are not burdenous. 
\verseNumber{4}For all that is borne of God, ouercommeth this world: and this is that victorie that hath ouercome this world, euen our faith. 
\verseNumber{5}Who is it that ouercommeth this world, but he which beleeueth that Iesus is that Sonne of God? 
\verseNumber{6}This is that Iesus Christ that came by water and blood: not by water onely, but by water and blood: and it is that Spirit, that beareth witnesse: for that Spirit is trueth. 
\verseNumber{7}For there are three, which beare recorde in heauen, the Father, the Worde, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one. 
\verseNumber{8}And there are three, which beare record in the earth, the spirit, and the water and the blood: and these three agree in one. 
\verseNumber{9}If we receiue the witnesse of men, the witnesse of God is greater: for this is the witnesse of God, which he testified of his Sonne. 
\verseNumber{10}He that beleeueth in that Sonne of God, hath the witnes in himselfe: he that beleeueth not God, hath made him a lyar, because he beleeued not ye record, that God witnessed of that his Sonne. 
\verseNumber{11}And this is that record, to wit, that God hath giuen vnto vs eternall life, and this life is in that his Sonne. 
\verseNumber{12}He that hath that Sonne, hath that life: and he that hath not that Sonne of God, hath not that life. 
\verseNumber{13}These things haue I written vnto you, that beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God, that ye may knowe that ye haue eternall life, and that ye may beleeue in the Name of that Sonne of God. 
\verseNumber{14}And this is that assurance, that we haue in him, that if we aske any thing according to his will, he heareth vs. 
\verseNumber{15}And if we know that he heareth vs, whatsoeuer we aske, we know that we haue the petitions, that we haue desired of him. 
\verseNumber{16}If any man see his brother sinne a sinne that is not vnto death, let him aske, and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it. 
\verseNumber{17}All vnrighteousnesse is sinne, but there is a sinne not vnto death. 
\verseNumber{18}We know that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, keepeth himselfe, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 
\verseNumber{19}We knowe that we are of God, and this whole world lieth in wickednesse. 
\verseNumber{20}But we know that that Sone of God is come, and hath giue vs a mind to know him, which is true: and we are in him that is true, that is, in that his Sone Iesus Christ: this same is that very God, and that eternal life.

\verseNumber{3}Beloued, when I gaue al diligece to write vnto you of the common saluation, it was needful for me to write vnto you to exhort you, that yee should earnestly contend for the maintenace of ye faith, which was once giuen vnto the Saintes. 
\verseNumber{4}For there are certaine men crept in, which were before of olde ordeined to this condemnation: vngodly men they are which turne the grace of our God into wantonnesse, and denie God the onely Lord, and our Lord Iesus Christ. 
\verseNumber{5}I wil therfore put you in remebrance, forasmuch as ye once knew this, how that the Lord, after that he had deliuered the people out of Egypt, destroied them afterward which beleeued not. 
\verseNumber{6}The Angels also which kept not their first estate, but left their owne habitation, hee hath reserued in euerlasting chaines vnder darkenesse vnto the iudgement of the great day. 
\verseNumber{7}As Sodom and Gomorrhe, and the cities about them, which in like maner as they did, committed fornication, and followed strange flesh, are set foorth for an ensample, and suffer the vengeance of eternall fire.
