³² and he said to them, `Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third `day' I am being perfected;

¹⁰ For it was becoming to Him, because of whom `are' the all things, and through whom `are' the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect,

⁹ and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

²⁸ for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that `is' after the law `appointeth' the Son -- to the age having been perfected.

³⁰ when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the spirit.

⁴ I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that Thou hast given me, that I may do `it'.

⁵ `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the glory that I had before the world was, with Thee;

⁸ the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'

⁹ Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;

¹⁰ and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in 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?'

⁸ And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long `time' to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

⁹ and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him nothing.

¹⁰ And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently accusing him,

¹¹ and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

⁷ And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;

⁸ and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen;

⁹ and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking to see him.

¹⁹ and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,

²⁰ added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.

²⁶ And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

²⁷ and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

²⁸ and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

¹⁴ And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

³ Her heads in her midst `are' roaring lions, Her judges `are' evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.

¹ And I say, `Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the judgment?

² Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones,

³ And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken, And they have spread `them' out as in a pot, And as flesh in the midst of a caldron.

⁴ As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been.
