¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

²⁶ and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify, lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.'

²² After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;

¹ My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus;

¹⁶ and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.'

⁴⁷ The first man `is' out of the earth, earthy; the second man `is' the Lord out of heaven;

⁸ which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified;

³⁶ the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of all,)

¹¹ because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

³⁴ and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;'

³¹ and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose `it'? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.'

⁷⁶ And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To prepare His ways.
