³ for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls -- being faint.

¹⁶ wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day;

⁹ and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding;

³ and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my name hast toiled, and hast not been weary.

¹⁸ if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁹ if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

²⁰ `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

²¹ but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;

⁵⁸ so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

⁵ and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,

² looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who, over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross, shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of God did sit down;

²⁴ only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with you;

¹⁰ Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity, Straitened is thy power,

³ and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their presence,

⁴ The Lord Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary `by' a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.

²⁴ `A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;

²⁵ sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?

¹⁶ and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

³⁰ Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,

³¹ But those expecting Jehovah pass `to' power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!

³¹ Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they may stone him;

³² Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?'

³³ The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

³⁴ Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

³⁵ if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

³⁶ of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

³⁷ if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me;

³⁸ and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me `is' the Father, and I in Him.'

³⁹ Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand,

⁹ A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;

¹⁰ and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,

²² And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?'

¹ Because of this, having this ministration, according as we did receive kindness, we do not faint,

¹³ and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

⁷ be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed of David, according to my good news,

²³ And he having come to the temple, there came to him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, `By what authority dost thou do these things? and who gave thee this authority?'

⁴⁰ And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?'

⁵⁹ they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

²⁸ And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

²⁹ and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had been built -- to cast him down headlong,

³⁴ and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, `Lo, this `one' is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against --

¹⁵ Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

⁴⁶ and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.

¹⁵ and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;

¹⁶ and they said to him, `Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, `Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'

² `Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'

²⁴ but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.'

¹⁵ and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons, he doth cast forth the demons;'

¹⁶ and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were asking.

⁵³ And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to speak about many things,

⁵⁴ laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

¹³ and he laid on her `his' hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹⁴ And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth `us' to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

⁵² The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

⁴⁸ The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

¹³ The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

¹² and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

³⁹ And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, `Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'

⁴⁰ and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'

¹⁴ And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

² and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying -- This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.'

¹ And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to eat bread, that they were watching him,

¹⁹ the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.'
