Matthew 19

1	And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan;
2	And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
3	The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4	And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5	And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh
6	Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
7	They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away
8	He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9	And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10	His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11	But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12	For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
13	Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14	But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15	And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
16	And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17	And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18	He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19	Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20	The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21	Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22	But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
23	Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24	And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
25	When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26	But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27	Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
28	And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29	And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
30	But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

Leviticus 9

1	And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
2	And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
3	And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
4	Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for today the LORD will appear unto you.
5	And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
6	And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
7	And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
8	Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
9	And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
10	But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
11	And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
12	And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
13	And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
14	And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
15	And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
16	And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
17	And he brought the meat offering, and took a handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18	He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
19	And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
20	And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
21	And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
22	And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
23	And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
24	And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Ephesians 1

1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2	Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5	Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6	To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7	In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8	Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10	That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11	In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12	That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13	In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,
14	Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
15	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
16	Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers,
17	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
19	And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21	Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
22	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
23	Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.

James 4

1	From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
2	Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
3	Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
4	Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
5	Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
6	But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
7	Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8	Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9	Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10	Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
11	Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
12	There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
13	Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
14	Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
15	For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
16	But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17	Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Job 38

1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2	Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3	Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
5	Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7	When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8	Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
9	When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,
10	And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13	That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14	It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15	And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken.
16	Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
17	Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18	Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
20	That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
21	Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
22	Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
23	Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
24	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25	Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26	To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27	To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28	Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29	Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath engendered it?
30	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31	Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
32	Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33	Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34	Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
35	Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
36	Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
37	Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
38	When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39	Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
40	When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
41	Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Psalms 136

1	O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.
2	O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth forever.
3	O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth forever.
4	To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth forever.
5	To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth forever.
6	To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth forever.
7	To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth forever:
8	The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth forever:
9	The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth forever.
10	To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth forever:
11	And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth forever:
12	With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth forever.
13	To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth forever:
14	And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth forever:
15	But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth forever.
16	To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth forever.
17	To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth forever:
18	And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth forever:
19	Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth forever:
20	And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth forever:
21	And gave their land for a heritage: for his mercy endureth forever:
22	Even a heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth forever.
23	Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth forever:
24	And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth forever.
25	Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth forever.
26	O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth forever.

Proverbs 7

1	My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2	Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3	Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4	Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5	That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
6	For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
7	And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
8	Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
9	In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
10	And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
11	(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
12	Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
13	So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
14	I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
15	Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
16	I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
17	I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18	Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
19	For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
20	He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
21	With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
22	He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23	Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
24	Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25	Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
26	For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
27	Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.

Judges 13

1	And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2	And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bore not.
3	And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4	Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
5	For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6	Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
7	But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
8	Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9	And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
10	And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
11	And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
12	And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
13	And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14	She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
15	And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16	And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
17	And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honor?
18	And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
19	So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20	For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
21	But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
22	And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23	But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
24	And the woman bore a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
25	And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.

Isaiah 36

1	Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defensed cities of Judah, and took them.
2	And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3	Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4	And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
5	I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6	Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7	But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8	Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9	How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10	And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11	Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
12	But Rab-shakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
13	Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14	Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15	Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16	Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
17	Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18	Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19	Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20	Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21	But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22	Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.

Acts 6

1	And in those days, when the number of the disciples were multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2	Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3	Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4	But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5	And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6	Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7	And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8	And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9	Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10	And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11	Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12	And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13	And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14	For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15	And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
