⁶ and having fallen away, again to renew `them' to reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of God, and exposed to public shame.

²⁹ of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

²¹ for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way of the righteousness, than having acknowledged `it', to turn back from the holy command delivered to them,

⁴ for `it is' impossible for those once enlightened, having tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became of the Holy Spirit,

²⁸ And the destruction of transgressors and sinners `is' together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.

¹⁶ If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning it do I speak that he may beseech;

²⁹ And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the sanctuary, and in three days the builder!

³⁰ save thyself, and come down from the cross!'

³¹ And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save.

³² The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those crucified with him were reproaching him.

³⁸ Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left,

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building `it', save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

²⁶ And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, `With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'

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;

²⁵ in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth,

³⁵ And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.'

³⁶ And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and offering vinegar to him,

³⁷ and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.'

³⁸ And there was also a superscription written over him, in letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of the Jews.'

³⁹ And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us.'

⁴⁸ Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build their tombs;

³¹ So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them who did murder the prophets;

³² and ye -- ye fill up the measure of your fathers.

¹⁰ And I have poured on the house of David, And on the inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications, And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the first-born.

¹¹ In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon,

¹² And mourned hath the land -- every family apart, The family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart;

¹³ The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart,

¹⁴ All the families that are left, Every family apart, and their women apart!

¹⁰ A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit renew within me.
