He went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas who betrayed him "also" knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. At the same time that Jesus and his disciples entered the garden, Judas obtained a detachment of soldiers and officers, with lanterns, torches and weapons, from the chief priests and the Pharisees. and he who betrayed him "gave themma" sign "saying", Whoever I "kiss", "he is the-one", Seize him. Whomever I will kiss, "that-is hee". "Seize-him", and lead him away safely.

::Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine by a spring. His branches run over the wall. The archers have severely grieved him shot at him and persecuted him: But his "bowe" remained strong. The arms of his hands were made strong, by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, from there is the shepherd, the "stone" of Israel, even by the God of your father who will help you, by the Almighty who will bless you, with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of your ancestors, above the boundaries of the ancient hills. They will be on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who is separated from his brothers.

The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it. the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver with the kidneys, he shall remove, "as-it-is-removed-from-the-bull of the-sacrifice-of-peasofferings".

For the LORD has chosen Zion: He has desired it for his habitation. This is my resting place forever: I will live here, for I have desired it. I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with salvation: Her saints will shout aloud for joy. I will make the horn of David to bud there: I have ordained a lamp for my anointed. I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself his crown will shine.

::Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold you are there! If I take the wings of the dawn, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me. If I say Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, The light around me will be night, even the darkness does not hide from you, but the night shines as the day, The darkness is like light to you. For you formed my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well: My frame was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth: Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts "God"! How vast is their sum! If I would count them they are more in number than the sand. When I wake up I am still with you.

In the Book of Proverbs:  

In the Book of Proverbs:  

::The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the "earth-existed". When there were no depths I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born; while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. When he established the heavens I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep, when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong, when he gave to the sea its boundary that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was the craftsman by his side: I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him, rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men. Now therefore my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise: "Do not refuse-it". Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from the LORD. But he who sins against me, wrongs his own soul. All those who "hate me", love "death".

In the Book of the Wisdom of Jesus the son of "Sir-ack":  

::I have stretched out my branches as the cedar tree, and my branches are of honor and grace. As the vine I have brought forth a pleasant odor: and my flowers are the fruit of honor and riches. I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy expectation. In me is all grace of the way and of the truth, in me is all expectation of life and of virtue. Come over to me, all of you who desire me, and be filled with my fruits. For my spirit is sweeter than honey, and my inheritance more than honey and the honeycomb. My memory extends to everlasting generations. Those who eat me, shall hunger for more: and those who drink me, shall thirst for more. One who heeds me, shall not be confounded: and those who work with my help, shall not sin. Those who explain me shall have life everlasting. I, wisdom have poured out rivers. I, like a brook out of a river of powerful water; I, like a channel of a river, and like an aqueduct, came out of paradise. I said: I will water my garden of plants, and I will water abundantly the fruits of my meadow. And behold, my brook became a great river, and my river became a sea: For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. I will penetrate to all the lower parts of the earth, and will behold all who sleep, and will enlighten all who have confident expectation in the LORD. I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and will leave it to those who seek wisdom, and will not cease to instruct their offspring even to the holy age. See for yourself that I have not labored for myself only, but for all who seek out the truth.

In the book of Isaiah:  

In the book of Isaiah:  

::I am "inquire dove" by those who did not ask. I am "found" by those who did not seek me. I said See "Mee", see "Mee", to a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is "not good", after their "own thotts". I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; When I spoke, you did not listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight. Therefore the LORD says, Behold my servants "will Eeght". but "yew", will be hungry: behold my servants will drink, but "yew", will be thirsty: Behold my servants will "rejoice", but "yew", will be disappointed: Behold my servants will sing for joy of heart, but "yew", will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of spirit. You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen; and the Lord "LORD" will kill you. He will call his servants by another name, so that he who blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes. For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor "come-into-mind".

They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the LORD’s house. Of them I will also select "Priests and Lee-vytes" "says the LORD". For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me "says the LORD", so your offspring and your name shall remain. It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me "says the LORD".

But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days "says the LORD": I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart: I will be their God, and they shall be my people. They will no longer each teach his neighbor, and every man teach his brother saying, Know the LORD, for they will all know me, from their least to their greatest "says the LORD": for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin "no more".

::I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.  

::"He has built" against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead. He has walled me about, so that I cannot go out: He has made my chain heavy. "Yes" when I cry and call for help, he shuts out my prayer: He has walled up my ways with cut stone: He has made my paths crooked. He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places: He has turned away my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate: He has bent his "bowe", and set me as a mark for the arrow: He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys. I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long. He has filled me with bitterness: He has stuffed me with wormwood. He has also broken my teeth with gravel: He has covered me with ashes. You have removed my soul far away from peace: I forgot prosperity. I said My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD. Remember my affliction and my misery: the wormwood and the bitterness. My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me. This I recall to my mind; therefore I have confident expectation. It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses, that we are not "consumed"; because his compassion does not fail: They are new every morning: Great is your faithfulness. The LORD is my portion says my soul: Therefore I will have confident expectation in him. The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that a man should confidently expect, and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD: It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth: Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him. Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be confident expectation. Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him: Let him be filled full of reproach. For the LORD will not cast off forever. For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.  

::"He has built" against me, and surrounded me with bitterness and hardship. He has made me dwell in dark places, as those who have been long dead. He has walled me about, so that I cannot go out: He has made my chain heavy. "Yes" when I cry and call for help, he shuts out my prayer: He has walled up my ways with cut stone: He has made my paths crooked. He is to me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places: He has turned away my ways, and pulled me in pieces. He has made me desolate: He has bent his "bowe", and set me as a mark for the arrow: He has caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my kidneys. I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long. He has filled me with bitterness: He has stuffed me with wormwood. He has also broken my teeth with gravel: He has covered me with ashes. You have removed my soul far away from peace: I forgot prosperity. I said My strength has perished, along with my expectation from the LORD. Remember my affliction and my misery: the wormwood and the bitterness.
