Book of Common Prayer

10 Then kai I saw another allos powerful ischuros angel angelos coming down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos, wrapped periballō in a cloud nephelē, with kai a ho rainbow iris above epi · ho his autos head kephalē; · kai · ho his autos face prosōpon was like hōs the ho sun hēlios, and kai · ho his autos legs pous were like hōs pillars stylos of fire pyr. ² · kai He held echō in en · ho his autos hand cheir a little scroll biblaridion that had been unrolled anoigō. · kai Placing tithēmi · ho his autos right dexios foot pous · ho on epi the ho sea thalassa · ho and de his left foot euōnymos on epi the ho land gē, ³ · kai he shouted krazō in a loud megas voice phōnē like hōsper a lion leōn roaring mykaomai. And kai when hote he shouted krazō, the ho seven hepta thunders brontē sounded laleō · ho their heautou voices phōnē. ⁴ And kai when hote the ho seven hepta thunders brontē had sounded laleō, I was preparing mellō to write graphō but kai I heard akouō a voice phōnē from ek · ho heaven ouranos saying legō, “ Seal up sphragizō what hos the ho seven hepta thunders brontē have said laleō, and kai do not mē write it autos down graphō.” ⁵ Then kai the ho angel angelos that hos I had seen standing histēmi on epi the ho sea thalassa and kai on epi the ho land gē raised airō · ho his autos right dexios hand cheir · ho to eis · ho heaven ouranos ⁶ and kai swore omnyō by en the ho one who lives zaō for eis all ho time aiōn ho, · ho who hos created ktizō · ho heaven ouranos and kai what ho is in en it autos, · kai the ho earth gē and kai what ho is in en it autos, and kai the ho sea thalassa and kai what ho is in en it autos, “ There will be eimi no more ouketi delay chronos! ⁷ But alla in en the ho days hēmera when hotan · ho the ho seventh hebdomos angel angelos is about mellō to sound his trumpet salpizō, · kai the ho mystery mystērion of ho God theos will be fulfilled teleō, just as hōs he announced euangelizō to ho his heautou servants the ho prophets prophētēs.”

⁸ Then kai the ho voice phōnē that hos I had heard akouō from ek · ho heaven ouranos spoke laleō to meta me egō again palin, · kai saying legō, “ Go hypagō, take lambanō the ho scroll biblion that ho is open anoigō in en the ho hand cheir of the ho angel angelos who ho is standing histēmi on epi the ho sea thalassa and kai on epi the ho land gē.” ⁹ So kai I went aperchomai to pros the ho angel angelos and told legō him autos to give didōmi me egō the ho little scroll biblaridion. And kai he said legō to me egō, “ Take lambanō it and kai eat katesthiō it autos; · kai it will make pikrainō your sy · ho stomach koilia bitter , but alla in en · ho your sy mouth stoma it will be eimi sweet glykys as hōs honey meli.” ¹⁰ So kai I took lambanō the ho little scroll biblaridion from ek the ho hand cheir of the ho angel angelos and kai ate katesthiō it autos. · kai In en · ho my egō mouth stoma it was eimi as sweet glykys as hōs honey meli, but kai when hote I had eaten esthiō it autos, my egō stomach koilia became bitter pikrainō. · ho ¹¹ Then kai they said legō to me egō, “ You sy must dei prophesy prophēteuō again palin about epi many polys peoples laos and kai nations ethnos and kai languages glōssa and kai kings basileus.”

11 · kai · ho Jesus autos was eimi praying proseuchomai in en a certain tis place topos, and when hōs he finished pauō one tis of ho his autos disciples mathētēs said legō to pros him autos, “ Lord kyrios, teach didaskō us hēmeis to pray proseuchomai, just kathōs as · kai John Iōannēs taught didaskō · ho his autos disciples mathētēs.” ² He said legō · de to them autos, “ When hotan you pray proseuchomai, say legō: ‘ Father patēr, may your sy name onoma be held hagiazō in honor ; · ho may your sy reign basileia begin erchomai. · ho ³ Give didōmi us hēmeis each kata day hēmera · ho our hēmeis daily epiousios bread artos; · ho · ho ⁴ and kai forgive aphiēmi us hēmeis · ho our hēmeis sins hamartia, · kai for gar we ourselves autos forgive aphiēmi everyone pas indebted opheilō to us hēmeis. And kai do not mē bring eispherō us hēmeis into eis a time of trial peirasmos.’”

⁵ · kai He said legō to pros them autos, “ Suppose one tis of ek you hymeis has echō a friend philos, and kai you go poreuō to pros him autos at midnight mesonyktion and kai say legō to him autos, ‘ Friend philos, lend kichrēmi me egō three treis loaves artos of bread , ⁶ since epeidē a friend philos of mine egō has come paraginomai to pros me egō from ek a journey hodos and kai I do not ou have echō anything hos to set paratithēmi before him autos’; ⁷ and kakeinos he from inside esōthen answers apokrinomai, saying legō, ‘ Do parechō not mē cause parechō me egō trouble kopos; already ēdē the ho door thura has been locked kleiō and kai · ho my egō children paidion are eimi with meta me egō in eis · ho bed koitē. I cannot ou get anistēmi up and give didōmi you sy anything.’ ⁸ I say legō to you hymeis, even kai though ei he will not ou get up anistēmi and give didōmi him autos anything because dia · ho he is eimi his autos friend philos, yet ge because dia of the ho prospect anaideia of being put to shame he autos will get egeirō up and give didōmi him autos as hosos much as he needs chrēzō.

⁹ “ So kagō to you hymeis I say legō, ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis; seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō; knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. ¹⁰ For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. ¹¹ What tis · de father patēr among ek you hymeis, · ho should his ho son hyios ask aiteō for a fish ichthus, · kai will epididōmi instead anti of a fish ichthus, give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? ¹² Or ē · kai should he ask aiteō for an egg ōon, will give epididōmi him autos a scorpion skorpios? ¹³ If ei you hymeis then oun, who are hyparchō evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will your ho heavenly ek Father patēr · ho give didōmi the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma to those ho who ask aiteō him autos!”
