³⁷ After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

¹ Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

² This was the first numbering, which was made when Quirinius was ruler of Syria.

⁵ That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

⁶ Though he is lifted up to the heavens, and his head goes up to the clouds;

⁷ Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?

⁸ He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.

⁹ The eye which saw him sees him no longer; and his place has no more knowledge of him.

¹⁴ That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

¹⁵ He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made

¹⁵ The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.

¹⁶ The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

¹ Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

² And he, in answer, said to them, Are you of the opinion that these Galilaeans were worse than all other Galilaeans, because these things were done to them?
