Luke 9

1	Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2	And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3	And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4	And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5	And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6	And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
7	Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
8	And of some, that Elijah had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9	And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10	And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11	And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12	And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13	But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14	For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15	And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16	Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17	And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18	And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19	They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20	He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21	And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22	Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
23	And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
25	For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26	For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27	But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
28	And it came to pass about eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
29	And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30	And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elijah:
31	Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32	But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
33	And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: not knowing what he said.
34	While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35	And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
36	And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
37	And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
38	And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
39	And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
40	And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
41	And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
42	And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
43	And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44	Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45	But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
46	Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47	And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48	And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
49	And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.
50	And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
51	And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
52	And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
53	And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
54	And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
55	But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
56	For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
57	And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
58	And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
59	And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
60	Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
61	And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
62	And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Exodus 3

1	Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2	And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3	And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4	And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5	And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6	Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
7	And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8	And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9	Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10	Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11	And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12	And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13	And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14	And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
15	And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16	Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17	And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
18	And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
19	And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20	And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21	And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
22	But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

Ephesians 2

1	And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins
2	Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3	Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4	But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5	Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by (grace ye are saved;)
6	And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7	That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8	For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9	Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10	For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11	Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12	That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13	But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14	For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15	Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16	And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17	And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18	For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19	Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20	And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21	In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord:
22	In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

Revelation 10

1	And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2	And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
3	And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4	And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5	And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
6	And swore by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
7	But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
8	And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9	And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10	And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11	And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

Ecclesiastes 11

1	Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2	Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3	If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4	He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5	As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
6	In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
7	Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8	But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
9	Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
10	Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Psalms 53

1	To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
2	God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God.
3	Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
4	Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
5	There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.
6	Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Proverbs 22

1	A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
2	The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
3	A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
4	By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honor, and life.
5	Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.
6	Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
7	The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
8	He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
9	He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
10	Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
11	He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
12	The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.
13	The slothful man saith, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
14	The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
15	Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
16	He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want.
17	Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge.
18	For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips.
19	That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee.
20	Have not I written to thee excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
21	That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22	Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23	For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24	Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25	Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
26	Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
27	If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28	Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
29	Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

1 Samuel 4

1	And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
2	And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
3	And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us today before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
4	So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5	And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
6	And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
7	And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
8	Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
9	Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
10	And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
11	And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12	And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
13	And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
14	And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
15	Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
16	And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
17	And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
18	And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
19	And his daughter-in-law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
20	And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
21	And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22	And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

Isaiah 53

1	Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2	For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3	He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4	Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5	But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6	All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7	He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8	He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9	And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10	Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11	He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12	Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Acts 25

1	Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
2	Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3	And desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4	But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
5	Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6	And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7	And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
8	While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
9	But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
10	Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11	For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
12	Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
13	And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
14	And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
15	About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
16	To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
17	Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18	Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19	But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20	And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21	But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
22	Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23	And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
