Behold, I will sendH7971 my messengerH4397, and he shall prepareH6437 the wayH1870 beforeH6440 me: and the LordH113, whom ye seekH1245, shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 to his templeH1964, even the messengerH4397 of the covenantH1285, whom ye delightH2655 in: behold, he shall comeH935, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
But who may abideH3557 the dayH3117 of his comingH935? and who shall standH5975 when he appearethH7200? for he is like a refiner'sH6884 fireH784, and like fullers'H3526 soapH1287:
And he shall sitH3427 as a refinerH6884 and purifierH2891 of silverH3701: and he shall purifyH2891 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, and purgeH2212 them as goldH2091 and silverH3701, that they may offerH5066 unto the LORDH3068 an offeringH4503 in righteousnessH6666.
Then shall the offeringH4503 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 be pleasantH6149 unto the LORDH3068, as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769, and as in formerH6931 yearsH8141. {former: or, ancient}
And I will come nearH7126 to you to judgmentH4941; and I will be a swiftH4116 witnessH5707 against the sorcerersH3784, and against the adulterersH5003, and against falseH8267 swearersH7650, and against those that oppressH6231 the hirelingH7916 in his wagesH7939, the widowH490, and the fatherlessH3490, and that turn asideH5186 the strangerH1616 from his right, and fearH3372 not me, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {oppress: or, defraud}
For I am the LORDH3068, I changeH8138 not; therefore ye sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 are not consumedH3615.
Even from the daysH3117 of your fathersH1 ye are gone awayH5493 from mine ordinancesH2706, and have not keptH8104 them. ReturnH7725 unto me, and I will returnH7725 unto you, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. But ye saidH559, Wherein shall we returnH7725?
Will a manH120 robH6906 GodH430? Yet ye have robbedH6906 me. But ye sayH559, Wherein have we robbedH6906 thee? In tithesH4643 and offeringsH8641.
Ye are cursedH779 with a curseH3994: for ye have robbedH6906 me, even this whole nationH1471.
BringH935 ye all the tithesH4643 into the storehouseH214, that there may be meatH2964 in mine houseH1004, and proveH974 me now herewithH2063, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, if I will not openH6605 you the windowsH699 of heavenH8064, and pour you outH7324 a blessingH1293, that there shall not be room enoughH1767 to receive it. {pour…: Heb. empty out}
And I will rebukeH1605 the devourerH398 for your sakes, and he shall not destroyH7843 the fruitsH6529 of your groundH127; neither shall your vineH1612 cast her fruitH7921 before the time in the fieldH7704, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {destroy: Heb. corrupt}
And all nationsH1471 shall call you blessedH833: for ye shall be a delightsomeH2656 landH776, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
And now we callH833 the proudH2086 happyH833; yea, they that workH6213 wickednessH7564 are set upH1129; yea, they that temptH974 GodH430 are even deliveredH4422. {are set up: Heb. are built}
Then they that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 spake oftenH1696 oneH376 to anotherH7453: and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH7181, and heardH8085 it, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 him for them that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and that thoughtH2803 upon his nameH8034.
And they shall be mine, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, in that dayH3117 when I make upH6213 my jewelsH5459; and I will spareH2550 them, as a manH376 sparethH2550 his own sonH1121 that servethH5647 him. {jewels: or, special treasure}
Then shall ye returnH7725, and discernH7200 between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that servethH5647 GodH430 and him that servethH5647 him not.

For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
When the LordH136 shall have washed awayH7364 the filthH6675 of the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and shall have purgedH1740 the bloodH1818 of JerusalemH3389 from the midstH7130 thereof by the spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941, and by the spiritH7307 of burningH1197.
I will declareH5608 the decreeH2706: the LORDH3068 hath saidH559 unto me, Thou art my SonH1121; this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205 thee. {the decree: or, for a decree}
WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
ButG1161 when he sawG1492 manyG4183 of the PhariseesG5330 andG2532 SadduceesG4523 comeG2064 toG1909 hisG846 baptismG908, he saidG2036 unto themG846, O generationG1081 of vipersG2191, whoG5101 hath warnedG5263 youG5213 to fleeG5343 fromG575 the wrathG3709 to comeG3195?
Bring forthG4160 thereforeG3767 fruitsG2590 meetG514 for repentanceG3341: {meet…: or, answerable to amendment of life}
AndG2532 thinkG1380 notG3361 to sayG3004 withinG1722 yourselvesG1438, We haveG2192 AbrahamG11 to our fatherG3962: forG1063 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, thatG3754 GodG2316 is ableG1410 ofG1537 theseG5130 stonesG3037 to raise upG1453 childrenG5043 unto AbrahamG11.
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: thereforeG3767 everyG3956 treeG1186 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.

WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.

WhetherG5101 ofG1537 them twainG1417 didG4160 the willG2307 of his fatherG3962? They sayG3004 unto himG846, The firstG4413. JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG4204 goG4254 intoG1519 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 beforeG4254 youG5209.
ForG1063 JohnG2491 cameG2064 untoG4314 youG5209 inG1722 the wayG3598 of righteousnessG1343, andG2532 ye believedG4100 himG846 notG3756: butG1161 the publicansG5057 andG2532 the harlotsG4204 believedG4100 himG846: andG1161 yeG5210, when ye had seenG1492 it, repentedG3338 notG3756 afterwardG5305, that ye might believeG4100 himG846.
HearG191 anotherG243 parableG3850: There wasG2258 a certainG444+G5100 householderG3617, whichG3748 plantedG5452 a vineyardG290, andG2532 hedgedG5418 itG846 round aboutG4060, andG2532 diggedG3736 a winepressG3025 inG1722 itG846, andG2532 builtG3618 a towerG4444, andG2532 letG1554 itG846 outG1554 to husbandmenG1092, andG2532 went into a far countryG589:
AndG1161 whenG3753 the timeG2540 of the fruitG2590 drew nearG1448, he sentG649 hisG846 servantsG1401 toG4314 the husbandmenG1092, that they might receiveG2983 the fruitsG2590 of itG846.
AndG2532 the husbandmenG1092 tookG2983 hisG846 servantsG1401, and beatG1194 oneG3739+G3303, andG1161 killedG615 anotherG3739, andG1161 stonedG3036 anotherG3739.
AgainG3825, he sentG649 otherG243 servantsG1401 moreG4119 than the firstG4413: andG2532 they didG4160 unto themG846 likewiseG5615.
ButG1161 last of allG5305 he sentG649 untoG4314 themG846 hisG846 sonG5207, sayingG3004, They will reverenceG1788 myG3450 sonG5207.
ButG1161 when the husbandmenG1092 sawG1492 the sonG5207, they saidG2036 amongG1722 themselvesG1438, ThisG3778 isG2076 the heirG2818; comeG1205, let us killG615 himG846, andG2532 let us seizeG2722 on hisG846 inheritanceG2817.
AndG2532 they caughtG2983 himG846, and castG1544 him out ofG1854 the vineyardG290, andG2532 slewG615 him.
WhenG3752 the lordG2962 thereforeG3767 of the vineyardG290 comethG2064, whatG5101 will he doG4160 unto thoseG1565 husbandmenG1092?
They sayG3004 unto himG846, He will miserablyG2560 destroyG622 thoseG846 wicked menG2556, andG2532 will let outG1554 his vineyardG290 unto otherG243 husbandmenG1092, whichG3748 shall renderG591 himG846 the fruitsG2590 inG1722 theirG846 seasonsG2540.
JesusG2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, Did yeG314 neverG3763 readG314 inG1722 the scripturesG1124, The stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 rejectedG593, the sameG3778 is becomeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137: thisG3778 isG3844 the Lord'sG2962 doingG1096, andG2532 it isG2076 marvellousG2298 inG1722 ourG2257 eyesG3788?
ThereforeG1223+G5124 say IG3004 unto youG5213+G3754, The kingdomG932 of GodG2316 shall be takenG142 fromG575 youG5216, andG2532 givenG1325 to a nationG1484 bringing forthG4160 the fruitsG2590 thereofG846.
AndG2532 whosoever shall fallG4098 onG1909 thisG5126 stoneG3037 shall be brokenG4917: butG1161 onG1909 whomsoeverG3739+G302 it shall fallG4098, it will grindG3039 himG846 to powderG3039.
Every man'sG1538 workG2041 shall be madeG1096 manifestG5318: forG1063 the dayG2250 shall declareG1213 it, becauseG3754 it shall be revealedG601 byG1722 fireG4442; andG2532 the fireG4442 shall tryG1381 every man'sG1538 workG2041 of what sortG3697 it isG2076. {it shall be: Gr. it is}
If any man'sG1536 workG2041 abideG3306 whichG3739 he hath builtG2026 thereupon, he shall receiveG2983 a rewardG3408.
If any man'sG1536 workG2041 shall be burnedG2618, he shall suffer lossG2210: butG1161 he himselfG846 shall be savedG4982; yetG1161 soG3779 asG5613 byG1223 fireG4442.
AndG2532 hisG846 raimentG2440 becameG1096 shiningG4744, exceedingG3029 whiteG3022 asG5613 snowG5510; so asG3634 noG3756 fullerG1102 onG1909 earthG1093 canG1410 whiteG3021 them.
ButG1161 woeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye shut upG2808 the kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 againstG1715 menG444: forG1063 yeG5210 neitherG3761 go inG1525 yourselves, neitherG3756 suffer yeG863 them that are enteringG1525 to go inG1525.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye devourG2719 widows'G5503 housesG3614, andG2532 for a pretenceG4392 makeG4336 longG3117 prayerG4336: thereforeG1223+G5124 ye shall receiveG2983 the greaterG4055 damnationG2917.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye compassG4013 seaG2281 andG2532 landG3584 to makeG4160 oneG1520 proselyteG4339, andG2532 whenG3752 he is madeG1096, ye makeG4160 himG846 twofold moreG1362 the childG5207 of hellG1067 than yourselvesG5216.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, whichG3588 sayG3004, WhosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the goldG5557 of the templeG3485, he is a debtorG3784!
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 isG2076 greaterG3187, the goldG5557, orG2228 the templeG3485 that sanctifiethG37 the goldG5557?
AndG2532, WhosoeverG3739+G1437 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, it isG2076 nothingG3762; butG1161 whosoeverG3739+G302 swearethG3660 byG1722 the giftG1435 that is uponG1883 itG846, he is guiltyG3784. {guilty: or, debtor, or, bound}
Ye foolsG3474 andG2532 blindG5185: forG1063 whetherG5101 is greaterG3187, the giftG1435, orG2228 the altarG2379 that sanctifiethG37 the giftG1435?
Whoso thereforeG3767 shall swearG3660 byG1722 the altarG2379, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 all thingsG3956 thereonG1883+G846.
AndG2532 whoso shall swearG3660 byG1722 the templeG3485, swearethG3660 byG1722 itG846, andG2532 byG1722 him that dwellethG2730 thereinG846.
AndG2532 he that shall swearG3660 byG1722 heavenG3772, swearethG3660 byG1722 the throneG2362 of GodG2316, andG2532 byG1722 him that sittethG2521 thereonG1883+G846.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye pay titheG586 of mintG2238 andG2532 aniseG432 andG2532 cumminG2951, andG2532 have omittedG863 the weightierG926 matters of the lawG3551, judgmentG2920+G2532, mercyG1656, andG2532 faithG4102: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863. {anise: Gr. dill}
Ye blindG5185 guidesG3595, which strain atG1368 a gnatG2971, andG1161 swallowG2666 a camelG2574.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 of the platterG3953, butG1161 withinG2081 they are fullG1073 ofG1537 extortionG724 andG2532 excessG192.
Thou blindG5185 PhariseeG5330, cleanseG2511 firstG4412 that which is withinG1787 the cupG4221 andG2532 platterG3953, thatG2443 the outsideG1622 of themG846 may beG1096 cleanG2513 alsoG2532.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye are likeG3945 unto whitedG2867 sepulchresG5028, whichG3748 indeedG3303 appearG5316 beautifulG5611 outwardG1855, butG1161 are withinG2081 fullG1073 of deadG3498 men's bonesG3747, andG2532 of allG3956 uncleannessG167.
Even soG3779 yeG5210 alsoG2532+G3303 outwardlyG1855 appearG5316 righteousG1342 unto menG444, butG1161 withinG2081 ye areG2075 fullG3324 of hypocrisyG5272 andG2532 iniquityG458.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! becauseG3754 ye buildG3618 the tombsG5028 of the prophetsG4396, andG2532 garnishG2885 the sepulchresG3419 of the righteousG1342,
AndG2532 sayG3004, IfG1487 we had beenG2258 inG1722 the daysG2250 of ourG2257 fathersG3962, we wouldG302 notG3756 have beenG2258 partakersG2844 with themG846 inG1722 the bloodG129 of the prophetsG4396.
WhereforeG5620 ye be witnessesG3140 unto yourselvesG1438, thatG3754 ye areG2075 the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophetsG4396.
FillG4137 yeG5210 upG4137 thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathersG3962.
Ye serpentsG3789, ye generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG5343 escapeG575 the damnationG2920 of hellG1067?
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
AndG2532 I will killG615 herG846 childrenG5043 withG1722 deathG2288; andG2532 allG3956 the churchesG1577 shall knowG1097 thatG3754 IG1473 amG1510 he whichG3588 searchethG2045 the reinsG3510 andG2532 heartsG2588: andG2532 I will giveG1325 unto every oneG1538 of youG5213 according toG2596 yourG5216 worksG2041.
AndG2532 fromG575 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, who is the faithfulG4103 witnessG3144, and the first begottenG4416 ofG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 the princeG758 of the kingsG935 of the earthG1093. Unto him that lovedG25 usG2248, andG2532 washedG3068 usG2248 fromG575 ourG2257 sinsG266 inG1722 his ownG846 bloodG129,
AndG1161 while theyG846 wentG565 to buyG59, the bridegroomG3566 cameG2064; andG2532 they that were readyG2092 went inG1525 withG3326 himG846 toG1519 the marriageG1062: andG2532 the doorG2374 was shutG2808.
AndG2532 I saidG2046 unto himG846, SirG2962, thouG4771 knowestG1492. AndG2532 he saidG2036 to meG3427, TheseG3778 are theyG1526 which cameG2064 out ofG1537 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, andG2532 have washedG4150 theirG846 robesG4749, andG2532 madeG3021 themG4749+G846 whiteG3021 inG1722 the bloodG129 of the LambG721.
AndG2532 SimeonG4826 blessedG2127 themG846, andG2532 saidG2036 untoG4314 MaryG3137 hisG846 motherG3384, BeholdG2400, thisG3778 child is setG2749 forG1519 the fallG4431 andG2532 rising againG386 of manyG4183 inG1722 IsraelG2474; andG2532 forG1519 a signG4592 which shall be spoken againstG483;
AndG2532 to herG846 was grantedG1325 thatG2443 she should be arrayedG4016 in fine linenG1039, cleanG2513 andG2532 whiteG2986: forG1063 the fine linenG1039 isG2076 the righteousnessG1345 of saintsG40. {white: or, bright}
AndG1161 nowG2235 alsoG2532 the axeG513 is laidG2749 untoG4314 the rootG4491 of the treesG1186: everyG3956 treeG1186 thereforeG3767 which bringethG4160 notG3361 forthG4160 goodG2570 fruitG2590 is hewn downG1581, andG2532 castG906 intoG1519 the fireG4442.
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 will gatherG4863 the wheatG4621 intoG1519 hisG846 garnerG596; butG1161 the chaffG892 he will burnG2618 with fireG4442 unquenchableG762.
AndG2532 blessedG3107 isG2076 he, whosoeverG3739 shallG4624 notG3362 be offendedG4624 inG1722 meG1698.
AndG1161 asG1722 he spakeG2980, a certainG5100 PhariseeG5330 besoughtG2065 himG846 toG3704 dineG709 withG3844 himG846: andG1161 he went inG1525, and sat down to meatG377.
AndG1161 when the PhariseeG5330 sawG1492 it, he marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he hadG907 notG3756 firstG4412 washedG907 beforeG4253 dinnerG712.
AndG1161 the LordG2962 saidG2036 untoG4314 himG846, NowG3568 doG2511 yeG5210 PhariseesG5330 make cleanG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 andG2532 the platterG4094; butG1161 yourG5216 inward partG2081 is fullG1073 of raveningG724 andG2532 wickednessG4189.
Ye foolsG878, didG4160 notG3756 he that madeG4160 that whichG3588 is withoutG1855 makeG4160 that whichG3588 is withinG2081 alsoG2532?
But ratherG4133 giveG1325 almsG1654 of such things as ye haveG1751; andG2532, beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG2076 cleanG2513 unto youG5213. {of…: or, as you are able}
ButG235 woeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye titheG586 mintG2238 andG2532 rueG4076 andG2532 all mannerG3956 of herbsG3001, andG2532 pass overG3928 judgmentG2920 andG2532 the loveG26 of GodG2316: theseG5023 ought yeG1163 to have doneG4160, and notG3361 to leaveG863 the otherG2548 undoneG863.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, PhariseesG5330! forG3754 ye loveG25 the uppermost seatsG4410 inG1722 the synagoguesG4864, andG2532 greetingsG783 inG1722 the marketsG58.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, scribesG1122 andG2532 PhariseesG5330, hypocritesG5273! forG3754 ye areG2075 asG5613 gravesG3419 whichG3588 appear notG82, andG2532 the menG444 that walkG4043 overG1883 them areG1492 notG3756 awareG1492 of them.
ThenG1161 answeredG611 oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544, and saidG3004 unto himG846, MasterG1320, thusG5023 sayingG3004 thou reproachestG5195 usG2248 alsoG2532.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, WoeG3759 unto youG5213 alsoG2532, ye lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye ladeG5412 menG444 with burdensG5413 grievous to be borneG1419, andG2532 ye yourselvesG846 touchG4379 notG3756 the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of yourG5216 fingersG1147.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213! forG3754 ye buildG3618 the sepulchresG3419 of the prophetsG4396, andG1161 yourG5216 fathersG3962 killedG615 themG846.
WoeG3759 unto youG5213, lawyersG3544! forG3754 ye have taken awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108: ye enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 yourselvesG846, andG2532 them that were entering inG1525 ye hinderedG2967. {hindered: or, forbad}
AndG1161 as heG846 saidG3004 these thingsG5023 untoG4314 themG846, the scribesG1122 andG2532 the PhariseesG5330 beganG756 to urgeG1758 him vehementlyG1171, andG2532 to provokeG653 himG846 to speakG653 ofG4012 many thingsG4119:
Laying wait forG1748 himG846, andG2532 seekingG2212 to catchG2340 somethingG5100 out ofG1537 hisG846 mouthG4750, thatG2443 they might accuseG2723 himG846.
Watch yeG69 thereforeG3767, and prayG1189 alwaysG1722+G3956+G2540, thatG2443 ye may be accounted worthyG2661 to escapeG1628 allG3956 these thingsG5023 that shallG3195 come to passG1096, andG2532 to standG2476 beforeG1715 the SonG5207 of manG444.
AndG2532 they saidG3004, IsG2076 notG3756 thisG3778 JesusG2424, the sonG5207 of JosephG2501, whoseG3739 fatherG3962 andG2532 motherG3384 weG2249 knowG1492? how is itG4459 thenG3767 that heG3778 saithG3004+G3754, I came downG2597 fromG1537 heavenG3772?
JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG2036 unto themG846, MurmurG1111 notG3361 amongG3326 yourselvesG240.
No manG3762 canG1410 comeG2064 toG4314 meG3165, exceptG3362 the FatherG3962 whichG3588 hath sentG3992 meG3165 drawG1670 himG846: andG2532 IG1473 will raiseG450 himG846 upG450 at the lastG2078 dayG2250.
YeG5210 doG4160 the deedsG2041 of yourG5216 fatherG3962. ThenG3767 said theyG2036 to himG846, WeG2249 beG1080 notG3756 bornG1080 ofG1537 fornicationG4202; we haveG2192 oneG1520 FatherG3962, even GodG2316.
JesusG2424+G3767 saidG2036 unto themG846, IfG1487 GodG2316 wereG2258 yourG5216 FatherG3962, ye wouldG302 loveG25 meG1691: forG1063 IG1473 proceeded forthG1831 andG2532 cameG2240 fromG1537 GodG2316; neitherG3761+G1063 came IG2064 ofG575 myselfG1683, butG235 heG1565 sentG649 meG3165.
WhyG1302 do yeG1097 notG3756 understandG1097 myG1699 speechG2981? even becauseG3754 ye cannotG3756+G1410 hearG191 myG1699 wordG3056.
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, andG2532 the lustsG1939 of yourG5216 fatherG3962 ye willG2309 doG4160. HeG1565 wasG2258 a murdererG443 fromG575 the beginningG746, andG2532 abodeG2476 notG3756 inG1722 the truthG225, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 truthG225 inG1722 himG846. WhenG3752 he speakethG2980 a lieG5579, he speakethG2980 ofG1537 his ownG2398: forG3754 he isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the fatherG3962 of itG846. {of his own: or, from his own will or disposition}
AndG1161 becauseG3754 IG1473 tellG3004 you the truthG225, ye believeG4100 meG3427 notG3756.
WhichG5101 ofG1537 youG5216 convincethG1651 meG3165 ofG4012 sinG266? AndG1161 ifG1487 I sayG3004 the truthG225, whyG1302 doG4100 yeG5210 notG3756 believeG4100 meG3427?
He that isG5607 ofG1537 GodG2316 hearethG191 God'sG2316 wordsG4487: yeG5210 thereforeG5124+G1223 hearG191 them notG3756, becauseG3754 ye areG2075 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316.
ThenG3767 answeredG611 the JewsG2453, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, SayG3004 weG2249 notG3756 wellG2573 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1488 a SamaritanG4541, andG2532 hastG2192 a devilG1140?
YetG2532 ye haveG1097 notG3756 knownG1097 himG846; butG1161 IG1473 knowG1492 himG846: andG2532 ifG1437 I should sayG2036+G3754, I knowG1492 himG846 notG3756, I shall beG2071 a liarG5583 likeG3664 unto youG5216: butG235 I knowG1492 himG846, andG2532 keepG5083 hisG846 sayingG3056.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 saidG2036, ForG1519 judgmentG2917 IG1473 am comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG5126 worldG2889, thatG2443 they which seeG991 notG3361 might seeG991; andG2532 that they which seeG991 might be madeG1096 blindG5185.
AndG2532 some ofG1537 the PhariseesG5330 whichG3588 wereG5607 withG3326 himG846 heardG191 these wordsG5023, andG2532 saidG2036 unto himG846, AreG3361+G2070 weG2249 blindG5185 alsoG2532?
JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, IfG1487 ye wereG2258 blindG5185, ye shouldG302 haveG2192 noG3756 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 ye sayG3004+G3754, We seeG991; thereforeG3767 yourG5216 sinG266 remainethG3306.
IfG1508 I hadG2064 notG1508 comeG2064 andG2532 spokenG2980 unto themG846, they hadG2192 notG3756 hadG2192 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 they haveG2192 noG3756 clokeG4392 forG4012 theirG846 sinG266. {cloke: or, excuse}
He that hatethG3404 meG1691 hatethG3404 myG3450 FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
IfG1508 I hadG4160 notG1508 doneG4160 amongG1722 themG846 the worksG2041 whichG3739 noneG3762 other manG243 didG4160, they hadG2192 notG3756 hadG2192 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 have theyG3708 bothG2532 seenG3708 andG2532 hatedG3404 bothG2532 meG1691 andG2532 myG3450 FatherG3962.
WhichG5101 of the prophetsG4396 haveG1377 notG3756 yourG5216 fathersG3962 persecutedG1377? andG2532 they have slainG615 them whichG3588 shewed beforeG4293 ofG4012 the comingG1660 of the Just OneG1342; of whomG3739 yeG5210 have beenG1096 nowG3568 the betrayersG4273 andG2532 murderersG5406:
WhoG3748 have receivedG2983 the lawG3551 byG1519 the dispositionG1296 of angelsG32, andG2532 haveG5442 notG3756 keptG5442 it.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they were cutG1282 to the heartG2588+G846, andG2532 they gnashedG1031 onG1909 himG846 with their teethG3599.
ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377 after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343.
WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at that stumblingstoneG3037+G4348;
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG2400, I layG5087 inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037+G4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617. {ashamed: or confounded}
Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of graceG5485.
AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, then is it no moreG2089+G3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 isG1096 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, then is itG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG2041 isG2076 no moreG2089+G3765 workG2041.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG5127 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 {blinded: or, hardened}
(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. {slumber: or, remorse}
AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snareG1519+G3803, andG2532 a trapG1519+G2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG1519+G4625, andG2532 a recompenceG1519+G468 unto themG846:
LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3577 alwayG1275.
HeG5100 that despisedG114 Moses'G3475 lawG3551 diedG599 withoutG5565 mercyG3628 underG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144:
Of how muchG4214 sorerG5501 punishmentG5098, suppose yeG1380, shall he be thought worthyG515, whoG3588 hath trodden under footG2662 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, andG2532 hath countedG2233 the bloodG129 of the covenantG1242, wherewithG3739+G1722 he was sanctifiedG37, an unholy thingG2839, andG2532 hath done despiteG1796 unto the SpiritG4151 of graceG5485?
SeeG991 that ye refuseG3868 notG3361 him that speakethG2980. ForG1063 ifG1487 theyG1565 escapedG5343 notG3756 who refused himG3868 that spakeG5537 onG1909 earthG1093, muchG4183 moreG3123 shall not weG2249 escape, if we turn away from himG654 that speaketh fromG575 heavenG3772:
Unto youG5213 thereforeG3767 whichG3588 believeG4100 he is preciousG5092: butG1161 unto them which be disobedientG544, the stoneG3037 whichG3739 the buildersG3618 disallowedG593, the sameG3778 is madeG1096+G1519 the headG2776 of the cornerG1137, {precious: or, an honour}
AndG2532 a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348, andG2532 a rockG4073 of offenceG4625, even to them whichG3739 stumbleG4350 at the wordG3056, being disobedientG544: whereuntoG1519+G3739 alsoG2532 they were appointedG5087.
AndG2532 hath madeG4160 usG2248 kingsG935 andG2532 priestsG2409 unto GodG2316 andG2532 hisG846 FatherG3962; to himG846 be gloryG1391 andG2532 dominionG2904 forG1519 everG165 and everG165. AmenG281.
