2 And the Angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, “I made you go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I had sworn to your fathers, and said, ‘I will never break My Covenant with you.
2 ‘You, also, shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land, but shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed My Voice. Why have you done this?
3 “Therefore, I also said, ‘I will not cast them out before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides. And their gods shall be your destruction.’”
4 And when the Angel of the LORD spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
5 Therefore, they called the name of that place ‘Bochim’, and offered sacrifices to the LORD there.
6 Now, when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went, every man into his inheritance, to possess the land.
7 And the people had served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD that He did for Israel.
8 And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died when he was a hundred ten years old.
9 And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance, in Timnath Heres, on Mount Ephraim, on the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 And so, all that generation was gathered to their fathers. And another generation arose after them, which neither knew the LORD nor even the works which He had done for Israel.
11 Then, the children of Israel did wickedly in the sight of the LORD, and served Baal,
12 and forsook the LORD God of their fathers, Who brought them out of the land of Egypt. And they followed other gods, the gods of the people that were all around them, and bowed to them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 So, they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtoreth.
14 And the wrath of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who spoiled them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around them, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was very much against them, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. So, He punished them severely.
16 Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges, who delivered them out of the hands of their oppressors.
17 But still they would not obey their judges; for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them, turning quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked (obeying the Commandments of the LORD). They did not do so.
18 And when the LORD had raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge (for the LORD had compassion of their groanings, because of those who oppressed them and tormented them).
19 Yet, when the judge was dead, they returned, and did worse than their fathers, following other gods to serve them and worship them. They did not cease from their own inventions, or from their rebellious way.
20 Therefore, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He said, “Because this people has transgressed My Covenant which I Commanded their fathers, and has not obeyed My Voice,
21 “I will, therefore, no longer cast out any of the nations before them which Joshua left when he died,
22 “so that through them I may test Israel, to see whether they will keep the way of the LORD, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
23 So, the LORD left those nations, and did not immediately drive them out or deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
6 And in those days, as the number of the disciples grew, there arose murmuring of the Hellenists toward the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily ministry.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples together, and said, “It is not acceptable that we should leave the Word of God to serve the tables.
3 “Therefore brothers, select from among you seven men of good report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint to this business.
4 “And we will give ourselves constantly to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.”
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude. And they chose Stephen (a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost), and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas (a proselyte from Antioch),
6 whom they set before the Apostles. And they prayed and laid their hands on them.
7 And the Word of God increased. And the number of the disciples was multiplied in Jerusalem greatly. And a great number of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 Now Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain ones out of the synagogue who are called ‘Freedmen’ – as well as Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and ones from Cilicia and Asia - and disputed with Stephen.
10 But they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
11 Then they incited men, who said, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God!”
12 Thus they moved the people and the elders, and the scribes. And running after him, caught him, and brought him to the Council.
13 And they set forth false witnesses, who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the Law!
14 “For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place and shall change the ordinances which Moses gave us!”
15 And as all who sat in the Council looked steadfastly at him, they saw his face as the face of an angel.
15 Then the LORD said to me, “Even though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My affection could not be toward this people. Cast them out of My sight and let them depart.
2 “And if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ then tell them, ‘Thus says the LORD: ‘Such as are appointed to death, to death. And such as are for the sword, to the sword. And such as are for the famine, to the famine. And such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.’
3 “And I will appoint over them four kinds—” says the LORD, “the sword to slay and the dogs to tear in pieces and the birds of the sky and the beasts of the Earth—to devour and to destroy.
4 “I will also scatter them in all kingdoms of the Earth, because of Manasseh—the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah—for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5 “Who shall then have pity upon you, O Jerusalem? Or who shall be sorry for you? Or who shall go to pray for your peace?
6 “You have forsaken Me,” says the LORD, “gone backward. Therefore, I will stretch out My Hand against you, and destroy you. I am weary with pity.
7 “And I will scatter them with the fan in the gates of the Earth. I have wasted, destroyed My people. They would not repent from their ways.
8 “Their widows are increased by Me above the sand of the sea. I have brought upon them, against the assembly of the young men, a destroyer at noon. I have caused him to fall upon them and the city, suddenly and speedily.
9 “She who has borne seven has been made weak. Her heart has failed. The Sun has failed her while it was day. She has been confounded and ashamed. And I will deliver their residue to the sword, before their enemies,” says the LORD.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a contentious man, and a man who strives with the whole Earth! I have neither lent with usury, nor have men lent to me with usury. Everyone curses me.
11 The LORD said, “Surely your remnant shall have wealth. Surely I will cause your enemy to enjoin you in the time of trouble, and in the time of affliction.
12 “Shall the iron break the iron, and the bronze, from the North?
13 “I will give your substance and your treasures to be plundered without payment because of all your sins within all your borders.
14 “And I will make you go with your enemies into a land that you do not know. For a fire is kindled in My anger, which shall burn you.”
15 O LORD, You know. Remember me and visit me and avenge me on my persecutors. Do not take me away in the continuance of Your anger! Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your Words were found and I ate them. And Your Word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart! For Your Name is called upon me, O LORD, God of Hosts!
17 I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I rejoice, but sat alone, because of Your plague. For You have filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my heaviness continual and my plague desperate and cannot be healed? Are You as a liar to me, as waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD: “If you return, then I will bring you back. And you shall stand before Me. And if you take out the precious from the vile, you shall be according to My Word. Let them return to you, but do not return to them.
20 “And I will make you a strong brazen wall to this people. And they shall fight against you. But they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you, to save you, and to deliver you,” says the LORD.
21 “And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked. And I will redeem you out of the hand of the tyrants.”
1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in the Prophets, “Behold, I send My Messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way before you.
3 “The voice of him who cries in the wilderness, is, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord! Make His paths straight!’”
4 John baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of repentance, for remission of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a belt of a skin about his loins. And he ate locusts and wild honey,
7 and preached, saying, “A stronger than I comes after me, Whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 “Indeed, I have baptized you with water. But He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost.”
9 And it happened that in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth (a city of Galilee) and was baptized by John in Jordan.
10 And as soon as He had come out of the water, John saw the heavens torn apart, and the Holy Ghost descending upon Him like a dove.
11 Then there was a voice from Heaven, saying, “You are My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”
12 And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days and was tempted by Satan. He was also with the wild beasts. And the angels ministered to Him.
14 Now after John was committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled! And the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe the Gospel!”
16 And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me. And I will make you fishers of men.”
18 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 And when He had gone a little further, He saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the ship, mending their nets.
20 And He called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired servants and followed Him.
21 So they entered into Capernaum. And immediately on the Sabbath day, He entered into the Synagogue, and taught.
22 And they were astonished at His doctrine. For He taught them as One Who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was a man in their Synagogue in whom was an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 saying, “Ah, what have we to do with You, O Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know Who You are: even the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Hold your peace, and come out of him.”
26 And the unclean spirit tore at him, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed. And they asked one another, saying, “What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For He commands even the foul spirits with authority, and they obey Him.”
28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region bordering on Galilee.
29 And as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 And Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever. And they told Jesus of her.
31 And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. And the fever left her. And she ministered to them.
32 And when evening came, they brought to Jesus all who were diseased, and those who were possessed with demons.
33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 And He healed many who were sick of diverse diseases. And He cast out many demons. But He would not let the demons say that they knew Him.
35 And in the morning, very early, before day, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 And Simon, and those who were with Him, carefully followed Him.
37 And when they had found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone seeks you.”
38 Then He said to them, “Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. For I came out for that purpose.”
39 And He preached in their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and cast out the demons.
40 And a leper came to Him, begging Him, and kneeling down to Him, saying, “If You will, You can make me clean.”
41 And Jesus had compassion. And put forth His hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I will. Be clean.”
42 And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 And after He had given him a straight commandment, He sent him away,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone. But go and show yourself to the priest. And offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial to them.”
45 But after he left, he began to tell many things, and to proclaim what happened, so that Jesus could no more openly enter the city; but stayed outside the gates, in desert places. And they came to Him from every quarter.
