John 13

1	Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
2	And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
3	Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
4	He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
5	After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
6	Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
7	Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
8	Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
9	Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
10	Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
11	For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
12	So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
13	Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14	If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15	For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
16	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
17	If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
18	I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
19	Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
20	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
21	When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22	Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
23	Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
24	Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
25	He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
26	Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
27	And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
28	Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
29	For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
30	He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31	Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32	If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34	A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35	By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
36	Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
37	Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
38	Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

Exodus 31

1	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2	See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3	And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4	To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5	And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6	And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7	The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8	And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9	And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10	And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11	And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12	And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
13	Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14	Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15	Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16	Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17	It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18	And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Romans 3

1	What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2	Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
3	For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
4	God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5	But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? I (speak as a man)
6	God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
7	For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
8	And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
9	What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10	As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11	There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12	They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13	Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14	Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15	Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16	Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17	And the way of peace have they not known:
18	There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19	Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20	Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21	But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22	Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23	For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24	Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25	Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26	To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27	Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28	Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29	Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30	Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31	Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

2 Timothy 2

1	Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2	And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3	Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4	No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5	And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6	The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7	Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8	Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9	Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10	Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11	It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12	If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13	If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14	Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15	Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16	But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17	And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18	Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19	Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20	But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.
21	If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22	Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23	But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do engender strifes.
24	And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25	In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26	And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Job 19

1	Then Job answered and said,
2	How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3	These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
4	And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
5	If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6	Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7	Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8	He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
9	He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10	He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
11	He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
12	His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
13	He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
14	My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15	They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
16	I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
17	My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
18	Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19	All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20	My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21	Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22	Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23	Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24	That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock forever!
25	For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26	And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27	Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28	But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29	Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

Psalms 81

1	To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2	Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3	Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
4	For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
5	This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
6	I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
7	Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
8	Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
9	There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
10	I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11	But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
12	So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
13	Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
14	I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15	The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured forever.
16	He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Proverbs 19

1	Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2	Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3	The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4	Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6	Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7	All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
8	He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9	A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10	Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11	The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12	The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew upon the grass.
13	A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14	House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15	Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16	He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17	He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18	Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19	A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
20	Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21	There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22	The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
23	The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24	A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25	Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
26	He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27	Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
28	An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29	Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

2 Samuel 1

1	Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2	It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
3	And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
4	And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
5	And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
6	And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
7	And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
8	And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
9	He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
10	So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
11	Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
12	And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
13	And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
14	And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
15	And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
16	And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
17	And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
18	(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
19	The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20	Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21	Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
22	From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
23	Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
24	Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
25	How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
26	I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
27	How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

Jeremiah 15

1	Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
2	And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
3	And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
4	And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
5	For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
6	Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
7	And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
8	Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
9	She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
10	Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.
11	The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12	Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13	Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14	And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
15	O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
16	Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
17	I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
18	Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
19	Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20	And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
21	And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

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.
