Let us begin.

Let us begin.

The beginning of the everlasting Proclamation of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is being interpreted: Jesus Anointed, the Son of God).  

The beginning of the everlasting Proclamation of Jesus Christ the Son of God (which is being interpreted: Jesus Anointed the Son of God).  

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.  

That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life (and the life was revealed, and we have seen and testify and declare to you the life, the eternal life which was with the Father and was revealed to us). That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us. Yes, and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. And we write these things to you that our joy may be fulfilled.

And we write these things to you that our joy may be fulfilled.  

For God having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain of transfiguration. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. But grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, God, who is in the bosom of the Father has declared him.  

For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, This is my beloved "Son": in whom I am well pleased. We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain of transfiguration. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. From his fullness we all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. But grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son. "God": who is in the bosom of the Father has declared him.  

Without "contro-versy" the core mystery of truly godly religion is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.  

Without "contro-versy" the core mystery of truly godly religion is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.  

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him. He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the power to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also. Therefore as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. This is the promise which he promised us, the eternal life.

This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. Let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for I delight in these things says the LORD.

No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up in the sight of all, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed that they have been done in God.

He who comes from above is above all. He who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What he has seen and heard, of that, he testifies; and no one receives his witness. He who has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. One who believes in the Son has eternal life, but one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Not everyone who calls him Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of his Father in heaven.  

Not everyone who calls him Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of his Father in heaven.  

God will pay back to everyone according to their works: to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation, oppression, and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. But glory, honor, and peace, go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. For there is no partiality with God.

Jesus said, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent:  

Jesus said, This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent:  

Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say? Belief by itself, if it has no works, is dead. You say you believe in God. Even the demons believe: and they shudder. As a body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so belief without works is dead. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. And he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. But Jesus said to them, As the Father has sent me: even so I send you. Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me, rejects him who sent me. He said My Teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the Teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. And he said, If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him: and we will come to him and make our home with him.  

Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not "dew" what I say? Belief by itself, if it has no works, is dead. You say you believe in God. Even the demons believe: and they shudder. As a body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so belief without works is dead. We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. And he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen him after he had risen. But Jesus said to them, As the Father has sent me: even so I send "yew". Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me. Whoever rejects me, rejects "him-who-sent-me". He said My Teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. If anyone desires to do his will, he will "know" about the Teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. And he said If a man loves me, he will keep my word. My Father will love him: and we will come to him and make our home with him.  

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot endure to hear my word. Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.  

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot endure to hear my word. Whoever is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.  

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.  

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.  

Amen. Yes. Come Lord Jesus.  

Amen. Yes. Come "Lord Jesus".  

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!  

He who has ears to hear, let him hear!  

Now. As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before your face who will prepare your way before you: the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight! There came a man sent from God whose name was John. The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

And so it was, that in the days of Herod the king of Judea there was a certain priest named "Zacka-rye-us" of the priestly division of "Abbyeja". He had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. They were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years. Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division, according to the custom of the priest’s office his lot was to enter into the Temple of the Lord and burn incense. The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.

The whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense.  

An angel of the Lord appeared to him standing on the right side of the altar of incense. "Zacka-rye-us" was troubled when he saw him and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid "Zacka-rye-us", because your request has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. You will have joy and gladness; and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother’s womb. He will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.

"Zacka-rye-us" said to the angel, How can I be sure of this, for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.  

"Zacka-rye-us" said to the angel, How can I be sure of this, for I am an old man and my wife is well advanced in years.  

After these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying, Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.  

After these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying, Thus has the Lord done to me in the days in which he looked on me to take away my reproach among men.  

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man whose name was Joseph of David’s house. The virgin’s name was Mary. She was consecrated to the Lord as a perpetual virgin according to the law of the Lord; and possessing an inheritance of her father according to the law of the Lord, a descendant of David according to the flesh, she was pledged to be married to one of the family of the tribe of her father according to the law of the Lord. And Joseph of David’s house, was a just man who feared the Lord, and according to the law of the Lord he would not make void her consecration to the Lord. Having come in, the angel said to her, I salute you full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!

Having come in, the angel said to her, I salute you "Full of grace". the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women!  

But when she saw him she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might be. The angel said to her, Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son and will call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.  

But when she saw him she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered what kind of salutation this might "bee": The angel said to her, Do not be "afraid-Mary", for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son: and will call his name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.  

Mary said to the angel, How can this be, seeing I am a virgin, I do not know man. For she was consecrated to the Lord.  

Mary said to the angel, How can this be, seeing I am a virgin: I do not know man. For she was consecrated to the Lord.  

The angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God. Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing spoken by God is impossible.  

The angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore also the holy one who is born from you will be called the Son of God. Behold, Elizabeth your relative also has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with "her-who-was-called-barren". For nothing spoken by God is impossible.  

Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.  

Mary said, Behold the servant of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.  

The angel then departed from her. And the Word became flesh and lived among us. For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins. Therefore when he comes into the world he says, You did not desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me. You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin. Then I said Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will O God. When He brings in the firstborn into the world He says Let all the angels of God worship him.

Now as it is written in the law of the Lord: according to the law of the Lord:  

Now as it is written in the law of the Lord: according to the law of the Lord:  

:Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the descendants of Israel saying, This is what the Lord has commanded. If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that "pro seeds" out of his mouth.  

:Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the descendants of Israel saying, This is what the Lord has commanded. If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that "pro seeds" out of his mouth.  

:If a woman also vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a bond in her father’s house in her youth; and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound her soul and her father shall hold his peace: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. But if her father does not allow her vow in the day he hears it, none of her vows or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand: and the Lord shall forgive her because her father did not allow her vow. And if she had at all a husband when she vowed or uttered any vow from her lips with which she bound her soul, and her husband heard and held his peace in the day that he heard: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand. But if her husband does not allow her vow on the day that he heard, then he shall make her vow which she vowed and what she uttered with her lips with which she bound her soul of no effect, and the Lord shall forgive her. And if she vowed in her husband’s house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, and her husband heard and held his peace and did not disallow her vow, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. But if her husband has utterly made them void on the day he heard, whatever "pro seeded" from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul shall not stand: her husband has made them void, and the Lord shall forgive her. Every vow and every binding oath to afflict the soul her husband may establish, or her husband may make void. But if her husband entirely holds his peace from day to day, then he establishes all her vows, or all her bonds which are on her: he confirms them, because he held his peace in the day he heard of them. But if he shall in any way make them void after he has heard, then he shall bear her iniquity. These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.  

:If a woman also vows a vow to the Lord and binds herself by a bond in her father’s house in her youth; and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound her soul and her father shall hold his peace: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. But if her father does not allow her vow in the day he hears it, none of her vows or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand: and the Lord shall "for give" her, because her father did not allow her vow. And if she had at all a husband when she vowed or uttered any vow from her lips with which she bound her soul, and her husband heard and held his peace in the day that he heard: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand.

These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.  

:The Lord spoke to Moses saying, When a man makes a special vow of persons to the Lord, the estimated value of a male from twenty years old even to sixty years old shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. And if it be a female, then the estimation shall be thirty shekels. And if from five years old even to twenty years old, then your estimation of the male shall be twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels. And if from a month old even to five years old, then your estimation of the male shall be five shekels of silver, and for the female your estimation shall be three shekels of silver. And if from sixty years old and above, if a male, then your estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels. But if he is poorer than your estimation then he shall present himself before the priest and the priest shall value him, according to his ability who vowed shall the priest value him. No devoted thing that a man shall devote to the Lord of all he has, of man and beast, of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy to the Lord.
