10 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem. For all Israel came to Shechem to make him king.
2 And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, heard it (who was in Egypt, where he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king) he returned out of Egypt.
3 And they sent and called him. So, Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke with Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Your father made our yoke grievous. Now, therefore, make the grievous servitude of your father, and his severe yoke that he put upon us, lighter. And we will serve you.”
5 And he said to them, “Come back to me in three days.” And the people departed.
6 And King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon, his father, while he still lived, saying, “What counsel do you give, so that I may answer these people?”
7 And they spoke to him, saying, “If you are kind to this people, and please them, and speak loving words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
8 But he rejected the counsel of the ancient men that they had given him and took counsel of the young men who were brought up with him and waited on him.
9 And he said to them, “What counsel do you give, so that we may answer these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Make the yoke which your father put upon us, lighter’?”
10 And the young men who had been brought up with him spoke to him, saying, “Thus shall you answer the people who spoke to you, saying, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter for us.’ Thus shall you say to them, ‘My least part shall be bigger than my father’s loins.
11 ‘Now, whereas my father burdened you with a grievous yoke, I will increase your yoke more. My father chastised you with rods, but I will do so with scourges.’”
12 Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, “Come back to me the third day.”
13 And the king answered them sharply. And King Rehoboam rejected the counsel of the ancient men,
14 and spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made your yoke grievous, but I will increase it! My father chastised you with rods, but I will do so with scourges!”
15 So the king did not listen to the people. For it was the Ordinance of God that the LORD might perform His saying which He had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
16 So, when all Israel saw that the king would not hear them, the people answered the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? For we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. O Israel, every man to your tents now! See to your own House, David!” So, all Israel departed to their tents.
17 However, Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.
18 Then, King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the tribute. And the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. Then, King Rehoboam hurried to get himself up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 And Israel has rebelled against the House of David to this day.
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants things which must shortly be done; which he sent and showed by his angel to his servant John;
2 Who bore record of the Word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein; for the time is at hand.
4 John, To the seven Churches which are in Asia: Grace be with you, and peace, from Him Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne;
5 and from Jesus Christ, Who is that faithful witness and that first begotten of the dead and that Prince of the Kings of the Earth. To Him - who loved us and washed us from our sins in His blood
6 and made us kings and priests to God, even His Father—to Him, I say, be glory and dominion forevermore! Amen.
7 Behold, He comes with clouds. And every eye shall see Him (indeed, even those who pierced Him through). And all kindreds of the Earth shall wail before Him. Even so, Amen.
8 “I am Alpha and Omega; the beginning and the ending,” says the Lord, Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come; even the Almighty.
9 I, John, even your brother and companion in tribulation - and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ - was on the Isle called Patmos for the Word of God and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.
10 And I was ravished in the Spirit on the Lord’s day and heard behind me a great voice, as if it had been of a trumpet,
11 Saying, “I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last. And write that which you see in a book and send it to the seven Churches which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned back to see the voice that spoke with me. And when I had turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks,
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and His chest wrapped with a golden girdle.
14 His head and hairs were white as white wool, and as snow. And His eyes were as a flame of fire,
15 And His feet were like fine brass, burning as in a furnace. And His voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And He had in His right hand seven stars. And out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. And His face shone as the Sun shines in His strength.
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. Then He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, “Fear not. I am the first and the last.
18 And I am alive, but I was dead. And behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hell and of death.
19 “Write these things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall come hereafter.
20 “The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand - and the seven golden candlesticks - is this: ‘The seven stars are the angels of the seven Churches. And the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven Churches.
2 Gather yourselves! Gather yourselves—O nation not worthy to be loved—
2 before the decree comes forth and you are as chaff that passes in a day, before the fierce wrath of the LORD comes upon you, before the Day of the LORD’s anger comes upon you!
3 Let all the meek of the Earth who have upheld His judgment seek the LORD—seek righteousness, seek lowliness—if it so be that you may be hidden on the Day of the LORD’s wrath.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate. They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday. And Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of the Cherethims! The Word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you without an inhabitant!”
6 And the seacoast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds and sheepfolds.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the House of Judah, to feed upon it. In the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down at night. For the LORD their God shall visit them and turn away their captivity.
8 “I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the rebukes of the children of Ammon, by which they reproached My people and magnified themselves against their borders.
9 “Therefore, as I live,” says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, “surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, the breeding of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remains of My people shall plunder them. And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
10 This they shall have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the LORD of Host’s people.
11 The LORD will be awesome to them. For He will consume all the gods of the Earth. And every man shall worship Him from his place, all the isles of the heathen.
12 “Also, you Ethiopians shall be killed by My sword with them.”
13 And He will stretch out His Hand against the North and destroy Assyria and will make Nineveh desolate and waste like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie in the midst of her. And all the beasts of the nations and the pelican and the owl shall abide in the upper pillars of it. The voice of birds shall sing in the windows. Desolation shall be upon the doorposts. For the cedars are uncovered.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am! And there is none besides me!” How she has been made desolate, and the lodging of the beasts! Everyone who passes by her shall hiss and wag his hand.9
24 Now, early in the morning on the first day of the week, they (and some women with them) came to the sepulcher and brought the spices which they had prepared.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulcher.
3 And they went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it happened that (as they were perplexed by this) behold, two men suddenly stood by them in shining garments.
5 And being afraid, they bowed their faces down to the Earth. They said to them, “Why do you seek Him who lives among the dead?
6 “He is not here but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,
7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful man, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
8 And they remembered his words,
9 and returned from the sepulcher, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all the remnant.
10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women with them who told these things to the Apostles.
11 But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe them.
12 Then Peter arose and ran to the sepulcher and looked in and saw the linen clothes laid by themselves. And he departed, wondering to himself what had happened.
13 And behold, that same day two of them went to a town called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.
14 And they talked together of all these things that had happened.
15 And it happened that as they talked together, and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him.
17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversations are these that you are having as you walk and are sad?”
18 And the one named Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things which have happened there in these days?”
19 And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “Of Jesus of Nazareth, Who was a Prophet, mighty in deed and in word before God and all people.
20 “And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death and have crucified Him.
21 “But we had hoped that it was He Who would deliver Israel. And today is the third day since all these things happened.
22 “Indeed, and some women among us (who came early to the sepulcher) astonished us.
23 “And when they did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels. Who said that He was alive.
24 “Therefore, some of them who were with us went to the sepulcher and found it just as the women had said. But they did not see Him.”
25 Then He said to them, “O fools! And slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken!
26 “Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His Glory?”
27 And He began at Moses, and at all the Prophets, and interpreted for them the things which were written of Him in all the Scriptures.
28 And they drew near to the town where they were going. And He pretended like He was going further.
29 But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us! For it is towards evening, and the day is far spent!” So, He went in to stay with them.
30 And it happened that as He sat at table with them, He took the bread, and blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened. And they knew Him. And He vanished.
32 And they said among themselves, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us along the way and when He opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 And they rose up that same hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
34 who said, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!”
35 Then they told them what had happened along the way, and how He was known by them in the breaking of bread.
36 And as they spoke these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them and said to them, “Peace to you.”
37 But they were terrified and full of fear, thinking that they had seen a spirit.
38 Then He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
39 “Look at My hands and My feet. For it is I, Myself. Touch Me and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and feet.
41 And while they still did not believe for joy, and wondered, He said to them, “Do you have any food here?”
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
43 And He took it and ate before them.
44 And He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you - that all which is written of Me in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, must be fulfilled.
45 Then He opened their minds, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 And said to them, “Thus is it written. And thus it was necessary for Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead the third day,
47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 “Now, you are witnesses of these things.
49 And behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are filled with power from on high.”
50 Afterward, He led them out into Bethany, and lifted up His hands and blessed them.
51 And it happened that, as He blessed them, He departed from them and was carried up into Heaven.
52 And they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were continually in the Temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
