Then saidH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 hath saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205.
But I have builtH1129 an houseH1004 of habitationH2073 for thee, and a placeH4349 for thy dwellingH3427 for everH5769.
And the kingH4428 turnedH5437 his faceH6440, and blessedH1288 the whole congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478: and all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478 stoodH5975.
And he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, who hath with his handsH3027 fulfilledH4390 that which he spakeH1696 with his mouthH6310 to my fatherH1 DavidH1732, sayingH559,
Since the dayH3117 that I brought forthH3318 my peopleH5971 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 I choseH977 no cityH5892 among all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 in, that my nameH8034 might be there; neither choseH977 I any manH376 to be a rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478:
But I have chosenH977 JerusalemH3389, that my nameH8034 might be there; and have chosenH977 DavidH1732 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
Now it was in the heartH3824 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
But the LORDH3068 saidH559 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, Forasmuch as it was in thine heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, thou didst wellH2895 in that it was in thine heartH3824:
NotwithstandingH7535 thou shalt not buildH1129 the houseH1004; but thy sonH1121 which shall come forthH3318 out of thy loinsH2504, he shall buildH1129 the houseH1004 for my nameH8034.
The LORDH3068 therefore hath performedH6965 his wordH1697 that he hath spokenH1696: for I am risen upH6965 in the room of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and am setH3427 on the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478, as the LORDH3068 promisedH1696, and have builtH1129 the houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And in itH8033 have I putH7760 the arkH727, wherein is the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, that he madeH3772 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And he stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 in the presence of all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709:
For SolomonH8010 had madeH6213 a brasenH5178 scaffoldH3595, of fiveH2568 cubitsH520 longH753, and fiveH2568 cubitsH520 broadH7341, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967, and had setH5414 it in the midstH8432 of the courtH5835: and upon it he stoodH5975, and kneeled downH1288 upon his kneesH1290 before all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward heavenH8064, {long…: Heb. the length thereof, etc}
And saidH559, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, there is no GodH430 like thee in the heavenH8064, nor in the earthH776; which keepestH8104 covenantH1285, and shewest mercyH2617 unto thy servantsH5650, that walkH1980 beforeH6440 thee with all their heartsH3820:
Thou which hast keptH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him; and spakestH1696 with thy mouthH6310, and hast fulfilledH4390 it with thine handH3027, as it is this dayH3117.
Now therefore, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, keepH8104 with thy servantH5650 DavidH1732 my fatherH1 that which thou hast promisedH1696 him, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 in my sightH6440 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478; yet soH7535 that thy childrenH1121 take heedH8104 to their wayH1870 to walkH3212 in my lawH8451, as thou hast walkedH1980 beforeH6440 me. {There…: Heb. There shall not a man be cut off}
Now then, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, let thy wordH1697 be verifiedH539, which thou hast spokenH1696 unto thy servantH5650 DavidH1732.
But will GodH430 in very deedH552 dwellH3427 with menH120 on the earthH776? behold, heavenH8064 and the heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 thee; how much less this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129!
Have respectH6437 therefore to the prayerH8605 of thy servantH5650, and to his supplicationH8467, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, to hearkenH8085 unto the cryH7440 and the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419 beforeH6440 thee:
That thine eyesH5869 may be openH6605 upon this houseH1004 dayH3119 and nightH3915, upon the placeH4725 whereof thou hast saidH559 that thou wouldest putH7760 thy nameH8034 there; to hearkenH8085 unto the prayerH8605 which thy servantH5650 prayethH6419 toward this placeH4725. {toward…: or, in this place}
HearkenH8085 therefore unto the supplicationsH8469 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which they shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725: hearH8085 thou from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725, even from heavenH8064; and when thou hearestH8085, forgiveH5545. {make: Heb. pray}
If a manH376 sinH2398 against his neighbourH7453, and an oathH423 be laidH5375 upon him to make him swearH422, and the oathH423 comeH935 beforeH6440 thine altarH4196 in this houseH1004; {and an oath…: Heb. and he require an oath of him}
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and doH6213, and judgeH8199 thy servantsH5650, by requitingH7725 the wickedH7563, by recompensingH5414 his wayH1870 upon his own headH7218; and by justifyingH6663 the righteousH6662, by givingH5414 him according to his righteousnessH6666.
And if thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478 be put to the worseH5062 beforeH6440 the enemyH341, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; and shall returnH7725 and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and prayH6419 and make supplicationH2603 beforeH6440 thee in this houseH1004; {be put…: or, be smitten} {in: or, towards}
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and bring them againH7725 unto the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 to them and to their fathersH1.
When the heavenH8064 is shut upH6113, and there is no rainH4306, because they have sinnedH2398 against thee; yet if they prayH6419 toward this placeH4725, and confessH3034 thy nameH8034, and turnH7725 from their sinH2403, when thou dost afflictH6031 them;
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064, and forgiveH5545 the sinH2403 of thy servantsH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when thou hast taughtH3384 them the goodH2896 wayH1870, wherein they should walkH3212; and sendH5414 rainH4306 upon thy landH776, which thou hast givenH5414 unto thy peopleH5971 for an inheritanceH5159.
If there be dearthH7458 in the landH776, if there be pestilenceH1698, if there be blastingH7711, or mildewH3420, locustsH697, or caterpillersH2625; if their enemiesH341 besiegeH6887 them in the citiesH8179 of their landH776; whatsoever soreH5061 or whatsoever sicknessH4245 there be: {in the cities…: Heb. in the land of their gates}
Then what prayerH8605 or what supplicationH8467 soever shall be made of any manH120, or of all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, when every oneH376 shall knowH3045 his own soreH5061 and his own griefH4341, and shall spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 in this houseH1004: {in: or, toward this house}
Then hearH8085 thou from heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and renderH5414 unto every manH376 according unto all his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou only knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:)
That they may fearH3372 thee, to walkH3212 in thy waysH1870, so long asH3117 they liveH2416+H6440 in the landH127 which thou gavestH5414 unto our fathersH1. {so long…: Heb. all the days which} {in the land: Heb. upon the face of the land}
Moreover concerning the strangerH5237, which is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, but is comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776 for thy greatH1419 name'sH8034 sake, and thy mightyH2389 handH3027, and thy stretched outH5186 armH2220; if they comeH935 and prayH6419 in this houseH1004;
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to all that the strangerH5237 callethH7121 to thee for; that all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, and fearH3372 thee, as doth thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and may knowH3045 that this houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {this…: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}
If thy peopleH5971 go outH3318 to warH4421 against their enemiesH341 by the wayH1870 that thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto thee towardH1870 this cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034;
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941. {cause: or, right}
If they sinH2398 against thee, (for there is no manH120 which sinnethH2398 not,) and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliverH5414 them over beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and they carry them awayH7617 captivesH7617 unto a landH776 far offH7350 or nearH7138; {they carry them away captives: Heb. they that take them captives carry them away}
Yet if they bethinkH7725+H3824 themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 and prayH2603 unto thee in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, we have done amissH5753, and have dealt wickedlyH7561; {bethink…: Heb. bring back to their heart}
If they returnH7725 to thee with all their heartH3820 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their captivityH7628, whither they have carried them captivesH7617, and prayH6419 towardH1870 their landH776, which thou gavestH5414 unto their fathersH1, and toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034:
Then hearH8085 thou from the heavensH8064, even from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, their prayerH8605 and their supplicationsH8467, and maintainH6213 their causeH4941, and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 which have sinnedH2398 against thee. {cause: or, right}
Now, my GodH430, let, I beseech thee, thine eyesH5869 be openH6605, and let thine earsH241 be attentH7183 unto the prayerH8605 that is made in this placeH4725. {unto…: Heb. to the prayer of this place}
Now therefore ariseH6965, O LORDH3068 GodH430, into thy restingH5118 place, thou, and the arkH727 of thy strengthH5797: let thy priestsH3548, O LORDH3068 GodH430, be clothedH3847 with salvationH8668, and let thy saintsH2623 rejoiceH8055 in goodnessH2896.
O LORDH3068 GodH430, turn not awayH7725 the faceH6440 of thine anointedH4899: rememberH2142 the merciesH2617 of DavidH1732 thy servantH5650.

And when a strangerH1616 shall sojournH1481 with thee, and will keepH6213 the passoverH6453 to the LORDH3068, let all his malesH2145 be circumcisedH4135, and then let him come nearH7126 and keepH6213 it; and he shall be as one that is bornH249 in the landH776: for no uncircumcised personH6189 shall eatH398 thereof.
And MosesH4872 toldH5608 his father in lawH2859 all that the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 unto PharaohH6547 and to the EgyptiansH4714 for Israel'sH3478 sakeH182, and all the travailH8513 that had comeH4672 upon them by the wayH1870, and how the LORDH3068 deliveredH5337 them. {come…: Heb. found them}
And JethroH3503 rejoicedH2302 for all the goodnessH2896 which the LORDH3068 had doneH6213 to IsraelH3478, whom he had deliveredH5337 out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
And JethroH3503 saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, who hath deliveredH5337 you out of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and out of the handH3027 of PharaohH6547, who hath deliveredH5337 the peopleH5971 from under the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714.
Now I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 is greaterH1419 than all godsH430: for in the thingH1697 wherein they dealt proudlyH2102 he was above them.
And JethroH3503, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, tookH3947 a burnt offeringH5930 and sacrificesH2077 for GodH430: and AaronH175 cameH935, and all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, to eatH398 breadH3899 with Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859 beforeH6440 GodH430.
And I am sureH3045 that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 will not letH5414 you goH1980, no, not by a mightyH2389 handH3027. {no…: or, but by strong hand}
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}

And she saidH559 unto the menH582, I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 faintH4127 becauseH6440 of you. {faint: Heb. melt}
And I will stretch outH7971 my handH3027, and smiteH5221 EgyptH4714 with all my wondersH6381 which I will doH6213 in the midstH7130 thereof: and afterH310 that he will let you goH7971.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is leftH3498 of all the nationsH1471 which cameH935 against JerusalemH3389 shall even go upH5927 fromH1767 yearH8141 to yearH8141 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and to keepH2287 the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521.
And RuthH7327 saidH559, IntreatH6293 me not to leaveH5800 thee, or to returnH7725 from following afterH310 thee: for whither thou goestH3212, I will goH3212; and where thou lodgestH3885, I will lodgeH3885: thy peopleH5971 shall be my peopleH5971, and thy GodH430 my GodH430: {Intreat…: or, Be not against me}
And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
And it shall be when thy sonH1121 askethH7592 thee in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strengthH2392 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us outH3318 from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650: {in…: Heb. to morrow}
And it shall be, that whoso will not come upH5927 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH776 unto JerusalemH3389 to worshipH7812 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, even upon them shall be no rainH1653.
And BoazH1162 answeredH6030 and saidH559 unto her, It hath fullyH5046 been shewedH5046 me, all that thou hast doneH6213 unto thy mother in lawH2545 sinceH310 the deathH4194 of thine husbandH376: and how thou hast leftH5800 thy fatherH1 and thy motherH517, and the landH776 of thy nativityH4138, and art comeH3212 unto a peopleH5971 which thou knewestH3045 not heretoforeH8543+H8032.

The LORDH3068 recompenseH7999 thy workH6467, and a fullH8003 rewardH4909 be given thee of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, under whose wingsH3671 thou art comeH935 to trustH2620.
And it was so, when ElishaH477 the manH376 of GodH430 had heardH8085 that the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had rentH7167 his clothesH899, that he sentH7971 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Wherefore hast thou rentH7167 thy clothesH899? let him comeH935 now to me, and he shall knowH3045 that there isH3426 a prophetH5030 in IsraelH3478.
Moreover concerning a strangerH5237, that is not of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, but cometh outH935 of a farH7350 countryH776 forH4616 thy name'sH8034 sake;
(For they shall hearH8085 of thy greatH1419 nameH8034, and of thy strongH2389 handH3027, and of thy stretched outH5186 armH2220;) when he shall comeH935 and prayH6419 toward this houseH1004;
HearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and doH6213 according to all that the strangerH5237 callethH7121 to thee for: that all peopleH5971 of the earthH776 may knowH3045 thy nameH8034, to fearH3372 thee, as do thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; and that they may knowH3045 that this houseH1004, which I have buildedH1129, is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034. {this…: Heb. thy name is called upon this house}
And he returnedH7725 to the manH376 of GodH430, he and all his companyH4264, and cameH935, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559, Behold, now I knowH3045 that there is no GodH430 in all the earthH776, but in IsraelH3478: now therefore, I pray thee, takeH3947 a blessingH1293 of thy servantH5650.
And when the queenH4436 of ShebaH7614 heardH8085 of the fameH8088 of SolomonH8010 concerning the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, she cameH935 to proveH5254 him with hard questionsH2420.
AriseH6965, shineH215; for thy lightH216 is comeH935, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 is risenH2224 upon thee. {shine…: or, be enlightened; for thy light cometh}
For, behold, the darknessH2822 shall coverH3680 the earthH776, and gross darknessH6205 the peopleH3816: but the LORDH3068 shall ariseH2224 upon thee, and his gloryH3519 shall be seenH7200 upon thee.
And the GentilesH1471 shall comeH1980 to thy lightH216, and kingsH4428 to the brightnessH5051 of thy risingH2225.
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and seeH7200: all they gather themselves togetherH6908, they comeH935 to thee: thy sonsH1121 shall comeH935 from farH7350, and thy daughtersH1323 shall be nursedH539 at thy sideH6654.
Then thou shalt seeH7200+H3372, and flow togetherH5102, and thine heartH3824 shall fearH6342, and be enlargedH7337; because the abundanceH1995 of the seaH3220 shall be convertedH2015 unto thee, the forcesH2428 of the GentilesH1471 shall comeH935 unto thee. {abundance…: or, noise of the sea shall be turned toward thee} {forces: or, wealth}
The multitudeH8229 of camelsH1581 shall coverH3680 thee, the dromedariesH1070 of MidianH4080 and EphahH5891; all they from ShebaH7614 shall comeH935: they shall bringH5375 goldH2091 and incenseH3828; and they shall shew forthH1319 the praisesH8416 of the LORDH3068.
All the flocksH6629 of KedarH6938 shall be gathered togetherH6908 unto thee, the ramsH352 of NebaiothH5032 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: they shall come upH5927 with acceptanceH7522 on mine altarH4196, and I will glorifyH6286 the houseH1004 of my gloryH8597.
Who are these that flyH5774 as a cloudH5645, and as the dovesH3123 to their windowsH699?
Surely the islesH339 shall waitH6960 for me, and the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659 firstH7223, to bringH935 thy sonsH1121 from farH7350, their silverH3701 and their goldH2091 with them, unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and to the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, because he hath glorifiedH6286 thee.
And the sonsH1121 of strangersH5236 shall build upH1129 thy wallsH2346, and their kingsH4428 shall ministerH8334 unto thee: for in my wrathH7110 I smoteH5221 thee, but in my favourH7522 have I had mercyH7355 on thee.
And she cameH935 to JerusalemH3389 with a veryH3966 greatH3515 trainH2428, with camelsH1581 that bareH5375 spicesH1314, and veryH3966 muchH7227 goldH2091, and preciousH3368 stonesH68: and when she was comeH935 to SolomonH8010, she communedH1696 with him of all that was in her heartH3824.
Yea, manyH7227 peopleH5971 and strongH6099 nationsH1471 shall comeH935 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 in JerusalemH3389, and to prayH2470 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. {to pray…: Heb. to intreat the face of}
Neither let the sonH1121 of the strangerH5236, that hath joinedH3867 himself to the LORDH3068, speakH559, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 hath utterlyH914 separatedH914 me from his peopleH5971: neither let the eunuchH5631 sayH559, Behold, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that pleaseH2654 me, and take holdH2388 of my covenantH1285;
Even unto them will I giveH5414 in mine houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a placeH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323: I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034, that shall not be cut offH3772.
Also the sonsH1121 of the strangerH5236, that joinH3867 themselves to the LORDH3068, to serveH8334 him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to be his servantsH5650, every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from pollutingH2490 it, and taketh holdH2388 of my covenantH1285;
Even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605: their burnt offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon mine altarH4196; for mine houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 an houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peopleH5971.
The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall rise upG1453 inG1722 the judgmentG2920 withG3326 thisG5026 generationG1074, andG2532 shall condemnG2632 itG846: forG3754 she cameG2064 fromG1537 the uttermost partsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; andG2532, beholdG2400, a greater thanG4119 SolomonG4672 is hereG5602.
NowG1161 when JesusG2424 was bornG1080 inG1722 BethlehemG965 of JudaeaG2449 inG1722 the daysG2250 of HerodG2264 the kingG935, beholdG2400, there cameG3854 wise menG3097 fromG575 the eastG395 toG1519 JerusalemG2414,
WhenG1161 JesusG2424 heardG191 it, he marvelledG2296, andG2532 saidG2036 to them that followedG190, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, I haveG2147 notG3761 foundG2147 so greatG5118 faithG4102, no, notG3761 inG1722 IsraelG2474.
AndG1161 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 manyG4183 shall comeG2240 fromG575 the eastG395 andG2532 westG1424, andG2532 shall sit downG347 withG3326 AbrahamG11, andG2532 IsaacG2464, andG2532 JacobG2384, inG1722 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772.
AndG2532 otherG243 sheepG4263 I haveG2192, whichG3739 areG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 thisG5026 foldG833: them alsoG2548 IG3165 mustG1163 bringG71, andG2532 they shall hearG191 myG3450 voiceG5456; andG2532 there shall beG1096 oneG3391 foldG4167, and oneG1520 shepherdG4166.
AndG1161 there wereG2258 certainG5100 GreeksG1672 amongG1537 them that came upG305 toG2443 worshipG4352 atG1722 the feastG1859:
AndG2532 he aroseG450 and wentG4198: andG2532, beholdG2400, a manG435 of EthiopiaG128, an eunuchG2135 of great authorityG1413 under CandaceG2582 queenG938 of the EthiopiansG128, whoG3739 hadG2258 the charge ofG1909 allG3956 herG846 treasureG1047, andG3739 had comeG2064 toG1519 JerusalemG2419 for to worshipG4352,
WasG2258 returningG5290, andG2532 sittingG2521 inG1909 hisG846 chariotG716+G2532 readG314 EsaiasG2268 the prophetG4396.
ThenG1161 the SpiritG4151 saidG2036 unto PhilipG5376, Go nearG4334, andG2532 join thyself toG2853 thisG5129 chariotG716.
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 ranG4370 thither to him, and heardG191 himG846 readG314 the prophetG4396 EsaiasG2268, andG2532 saidG2036, Understandest thouG687+G1065+G1097 whatG3739 thou readestG314?
AndG1161 he saidG2036, HowG1063+G4459 can IG302+G1410, exceptG3362 some manG5100 should guideG3594 meG3165? AndG5037 he desiredG3870 PhilipG5376 that he would come upG305 and sitG2523 withG4862 himG846.
The placeG4042 of the scriptureG1124 whichG3739 he readG314 wasG2258 thisG3778, He was ledG71 asG5613 a sheepG4263 toG1909 the slaughterG4967; andG2532 likeG5613 a lambG286 dumbG880 beforeG1726 hisG846 shearerG2751, soG3779 opened heG455 notG3756 hisG846 mouthG4750:
InG1722 hisG846 humiliationG5014 hisG846 judgmentG2920 was taken awayG142: andG1161 whoG5101 shall declareG1334 hisG846 generationG1074? forG3754 hisG846 lifeG2222 is takenG142 fromG575 the earthG1093.
AndG1161 the eunuchG2135 answeredG611 PhilipG5376, and saidG2036, I prayG1189 theeG4675, ofG4012 whomG5101 speakethG3004 the prophetG4396 thisG5124? ofG4012 himselfG1438, orG2228 ofG4012 someG5100 other manG2087?
ThenG1161 PhilipG5376 openedG455 hisG846 mouthG4750, andG2532 beganG756 atG575 the sameG5026 scriptureG1124, and preachedG2097 unto himG846 JesusG2424.
AndG1161 asG5613 they wentG4198 onG2596 their wayG3598, they cameG2064 untoG1909 a certainG5100 waterG5204: andG2532 the eunuchG2135 saidG5346, SeeG2400, here is waterG5204; whatG5101 doth hinderG2967 meG3165 to be baptizedG907?
AndG1161 PhilipG5376 saidG2036, IfG1487 thou believestG4100 withG1537 all thineG3650 heartG2588, thou mayestG1832. AndG1161 he answeredG611 and saidG2036, I believeG4100 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 isG1511 the SonG5207 of GodG2316.
AndG2532 he commandedG2753 the chariotG716 to stand stillG2476: andG2532 they went downG2597 bothG297 intoG1519 the waterG5204, bothG5037 PhilipG5376 andG2532 the eunuchG2135; andG2532 he baptizedG907 himG846.
AndG1161 whenG3753 they were come upG305 out ofG1537 the waterG5204, the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726 PhilipG5376+G2532, that the eunuchG2135 sawG1492+G3756 himG846 no moreG3765: andG1063 he wentG4198 on hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463.
There wasG2258 a certainG5100 manG435 inG1722 CaesareaG2542 calledG3686 CorneliusG2883, a centurionG1543 ofG1537 the bandG4686 calledG2564 the ItalianG2483 band,
A devoutG2152 man, andG2532 one that fearedG5399 GodG2316 withG4862 allG3956 hisG846 houseG3624, whichG5037 gaveG4160 muchG4183 almsG1654 to the peopleG2992, andG2532 prayedG1189 to GodG2316 alwayG1275.
He sawG1492 inG1722 a visionG3705 evidentlyG5320 aboutG5616 the ninthG1766 hourG5610 of the dayG2250 an angelG32 of GodG2316 coming inG1525 toG4314 himG846, andG2532 sayingG2036 unto himG846, CorneliusG2883.
AndG1161 when he lookedG816 on himG846, he wasG1096 afraidG1719, andG2532 saidG2036, WhatG5101 is itG2076, LordG2962? AndG1161 he saidG2036 unto himG846, ThyG4675 prayersG4335 andG2532 thineG4675 almsG1654 are come upG305 forG1519 a memorialG3422 beforeG1799 GodG2316.
