¹ Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare unto my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

¹² For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.

¹ Now about that time Herod the king put forth his hands to afflict certain of the church.

²⁰ Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; who also leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?

²¹ Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?

²² Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what `is that' to thee? Follow thou me.

²³ This saying therefore went forth among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, that he should not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what `is that' to thee?

²⁴ This is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.

³³ And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.

³⁵ And there come near unto him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying unto him, Teacher, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall ask of thee.

² And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them;

³⁷ And he suffered no man to follow with him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

¹⁹ And going on a little further, he saw James the `son' of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.

²⁰ And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

²⁹ Is not my word like fire? saith Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

¹¹ And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.
