And he said: Go.\n3 And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.\n4 So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood.\n5 And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.\n6 And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.\n7 And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.\n8 And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.\n9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.\n10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.\n11 And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?\n12 And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.\n13 And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.\n14 Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.\n15 And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do?\n16 But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.\n17 And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus.\n18 And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.\n19 And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.\n20 And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.\n21 And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?\n22 And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.\n23 And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.\n24 And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.\n25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver.\n26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.\n27 And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:\n28 This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.\n29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.\n30 When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall.

Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master's feet is behind him.\n33 While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him.

But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.\n3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism.\n4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.\n5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\n6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.\n7 And all the men were about twelve.\n8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.\n9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.\n10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.\n11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.\n12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.\n13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.\n14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.\n15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?\n16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.\n17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.\n18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.\n**19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.**\n20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.\n21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.\n22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.\n23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.\n24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;\n25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;\n26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.\n27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.\n28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.\n30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.\n31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.\n32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.\n33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.\n34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter's offspring.\n36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.\n37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.\n38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.\n39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.\n40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse.

says:\n*Sirach Chapter 33*\n1 No evils shall happen to him that feareth the Lord, but in temptation God will keep him, and deliver him from evils.\n2 A wise man hateth not the commandments and justices, and he shall not be dashed in pieces as a ship in a storm.\n3 A man of understanding is faithful to the law of God, and the law is faithful to him.\n4 He that cleareth up a question, shall prepare what to say, and so having prayed he shall be heard, and shall keep discipline, and then he shall answer.\n5 The heart of a fool is as a wheel of a cart: and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree.\n6 A friend that is a mocker, is like a stallion horse: he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him.\n7 Why doth one day excel another, and one light another, and one year another year, when all come of the sun?\n8 By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished, the sun being made, and keeping his commandment.\n9 And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they celebrated festivals at an hour.\n10 Some of them God made high and great days, and some of them he put in the number of ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, and out of the earth, from whence Adam was created.\n11 With much knowledge the Lord hath divided them and diversified their ways.\n12 Some of them hath he blessed, and exalted: and some of them hath he sanctified, and set near himself: and some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned them from their station.\n13 As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it:\n14 All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment.\n15 Good is set against evil, and life against death: so also is the sinner against a just man. And so look upon all the works of the most High. Two and two, and one against another.\n16 And I awaked last of all, and as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers.\n17 In the blessing of God I also have hoped: and as one that gathereth grapes, have I filled the winepress.\n18 See that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek discipline.\n19 Hear me, ye great men, and all ye people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the church.\n20 Give not to son or wife, brother or friend, power over thee while thou livest; and give not thy estate to another, lest then repent, and thou entreat for the same.\n21 As long as thou livest, and hast breath in thee, let no man change thee.\n22 For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children.\n23 In all thy works keep the pre-eminence.\n24 Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance.\n25 Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave.\n**26 He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty.**\n27 The yoke and the thong bend a stiff neck, and continual labours bow a slave.\n28 Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle:\n29 For idleness hath taught much evil.\n30 Set him to work: for so it is fit for him. And if he be not obedient, bring him down with fetters, but be not excessive towards any one: and do no grievous thing without judgment.\n31 If thou have a faithful servant, let him be to thee as thy own soul: treat him as a brother: because in the blood of thy soul thou hast gotten him.\n32 If thou hurt him unjustly, he will run away:\n33 And if he rise up and depart, thou knowest not whom to ask, and in what way to seek him.\n", "role": "assistant" } ]

And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.\n4 And David sent messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:\n5 And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.\n6 And David sent to Joab, saying: Send me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.\n7 And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.\n8 And David said to Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king's house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.\n9 But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.\n10 And it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy house?\n11 And Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this thing.\n12 Then David said to Urias: Tarry here to day, and to morrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.\n13 And David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.\n14 And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,\n15 Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.\n16 Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men were.\n17 And the men coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.\n18 Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.\n19 And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,\n20 If thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off the wall?\n**21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes?

And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us.

And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n**50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.**\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

out the whole chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 9*\n1 In the mean time when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.\n2 And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.\n3 In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem:\n4 And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen.\n5 Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him:\n6 And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.\n7 And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.\n8 Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.\n9 But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few.\n10 Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory.\n11 And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.\n12 And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:\n13 And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.\n14 And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:\n15 And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.\n16 And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:\n17 And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.\n18 And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.\n19 And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.\n20 And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.\n21 And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!\n22 But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.\n23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.\n24 In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.\n25 And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country:\n26 And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them.\n27 And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.\n28 And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:\n29 Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.\n30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.\n31 So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.\n32 And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him.\n33 And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,\n34 And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.\n35 And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.\n36 And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.\n37 After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.\n38 And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain.\n39 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.\n40 And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils:\n41 And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.\n42 And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.\n43 And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.\n44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.\n45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.\n46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.\n47 And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.\n48 And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:\n49 And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem,\n50 And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.\n51 And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel:\n52 And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals:\n**53 And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody.**\n54 Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to be destroyed: and he began to destroy.\n55 At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house.\n56 And Alcimus died at that time in great torment.\n57 And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.\n58 And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.\n59 So they went, and gave him counsel.\n60 And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them.\n61 And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them.\n62 And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it.\n63 And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea.\n64 And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines.\n65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men.\n66 And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces.\n67 But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines.\n68 And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain.\n69 And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country.\n70 And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners.\n71 And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life.\n72 And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders.\n73 So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Using hospitality one towards another, without murmuring,\" is written in 1 Peter 4:9, within the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book is the quote \"And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture \"And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.\" is located in 1 Samuel 24:2 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Could you pinpoint the book and chapter of \"In the seventh year thou shalt make a remission,\" for me?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're referencing is from the book *Deuteronomy*, chapter *15*.\n\nHere's the full chapter:\n*Deuteronomy Chapter 15*\n**1 In the seventh year thou shalt make a remission,**\n2 Which shall be celebrated in this order.

We will not go through the fields, nor through the vineyards, we will not drink the waters of thy wells, but we will go by the common highway, neither turning aside to the right hand, nor to the left, till we are past thy borders.\n18 And Edom answered them: Thou shalt not pass by me: if thou dost I will come out armed against thee.\n19 And the children of Israel said: We will go by the beaten way: and if we and our cattle drink of thy waters, we will give thee what is just: there shall be no difficulty in the price, only let us pass speedily.\n20 But he answered: Thou shalt not pass. And immediately he came forth to meet them with an infinite multitude, and a strong hand,\n21 Neither would he condescend to their desire to grant them passage through his borders. Wherefore Israel turned another way from him.\n22 And when they had removed the camp from Cades, they came to mount Her, which is in the borders of the land of Edom:\n23 Where the Lord spoke to Moses:\n24 Let Aaron, saith he, go to his people: for he shall not go into the land which I have given the children of Israel, because he was incredulous to my words, at the waters of contradiction.\n25 Take Aaron and his son with him, and bring them up into mount Hor:\n26 And when thou hast stripped the father of his vesture, thou shalt vest therewith Eleazar his son: Aaron shall be gathered to his people, and die there.\n27 Moses did as the Lord had commanded: and they went up into mount Hor before all the multitude.\n28 And when he had stripped Aaron of his vestments, he vested Eleazar his son with them.\n29 And Aaron being dead in the top of the mountain, he came down with Eleazar.\n**30 And all the multitude seeing that Aaron was dead, mourned for him thirty days throughout all their families.**\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Book: Numbers\nChapter: 32\nVerse: 28", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Numbers 32:28 of the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"Moses therefore commanded Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun, and the princes of the families of all the tribes of Israel, and said to them:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I need the text of Psalm 32:10", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Psalm 32:10 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Zechariah 14:13?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from Zechariah 14:13, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"In that day there shall be a great tumult from the Lord among them: and a man shall take the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall be clasped upon his neighbour's hand.\"", "role": "assistant" } ]

And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.\n4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,\n5 And went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.\n6 And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.\n7 And thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.\n8 And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.\n9 And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.\n10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.\n11 Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.\n12 But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel.\n13 Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: Jehu is king.\n14 So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:\n15 And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no man go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.\n16 And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.\n17 The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?\n18 So there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.\n19 And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow me.\n20 And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.\n21 And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.\n22 And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.\n23 And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.\n24 But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell in his chariot.\n25 And Jehu said to Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man's father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:\n26 If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.\n27 But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, and died there.\n28 And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.\n29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,\n30 And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of a window\n31 At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his master?\n32 And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to him.\n33 And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.\n34 And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king's daughter.\n35 And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities of her hands.\n36 And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,\n**37 And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?**\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Deuteronomy 1:27", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy chapter 1, verse 27 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"You murmured in your tents, and said: The Lord hateth us, and therefore he hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorrhite, and destroy us.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 57 from chapter 28 in Deuteronomy?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Deuteronomy 28:57 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And the filth of the afterbirths, that come forth from between her thighs, and the children that are born the same hour.

And when he had said this, their spirit was appeased, with which they swelled against him.\n4 And when Gedeon was come to the Jordan, he passed over it with the three hundred men, that were with him: who were so weary that they could not pursue after them that fled.\n5 And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana the kings of Madian.\n6 The princes of Soccoth answered: Peradventure the palms of the hands of Zebee and Salmana are in thy hand, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to thy army.\n7 And he said to them: When the Lord therefore shall have delivered Zebee and Salmana into my hands, I will thresh your flesh with the thorns and briers of the desert.\n8 And going up from thence, he came to Phanuel: and he spoke the like things to the men of that place. And they also answered him, as the men of Soccoth had answered.\n9 He said therefore to them also: When I shall return a conqueror in peace, I will destroy this tower.\n10 But Zebee and Salmana were resting with all their army. For fifteen thousand men were left of all the troops of the eastern people, and one hundred and twenty thousand warriors that drew the sword, were slain.\n11 And Gedeon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents, on the east of Nobe and Jegbaa, and smote the camp of the enemies, who were secure, and suspected no hurt.\n12 And Zebee and Salmana fled, and Gedeon pursued and took them, all their host being put in confusion.\n13 And returning from the battle before the sun rising,\n14 He took a boy of the men of Soccoth: and he asked him the names of the princes and ancients of Soccoth, and he described unto him seventy-seven men.\n15 And he came to Soccoth and said to them: Behold Zebee and Salmana, concerning whom you upbraided me, saying: Peradventure the hands of Zebee and Salmana, are in thy hands, and therefore thou demandest that we should give bread to the men that are weary and faint.\n16 So he took the ancients of the city and thorns and briers of the desert, and tore them with the same, and cut in pieces the men of Soccoth.\n17 And he demolished the tower of Phanuel, and slew the men of the city.\n18 And he said to Zebee and Salmana: What manner of men were they whom you slew in Thabor?

Is it so that there is not among you any one wise man, that is able to judge between his brethren?\n6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before unbelievers.\n7 Already indeed there is plainly a fault among you, that you have lawsuits one with another.

She that was free is made a slave.\n12 And behold our sanctuary, and our beauty, and our glory is laid waste, and the Gentiles have defiled them.\n13 To what end then should we live any longer?\n14 And Mathathias and his sons rent their garments, and they covered themselves with haircloth, and made great lamentation.\n15 And they that were sent from king Antiochus came thither, to compel them that were fled into the city of Modin, to sacrifice, and to burn incense, and to depart from the law of God.\n16 And many of the people of Israel consented, and came to them: but Mathathias and his sons stood firm.\n17 And they that were sent from Antiochus, answering, said to Mathathias: Thou art a ruler, and an honourable, and great man in this city, and adorned with sons, and brethren.\n18 Therefore come thou first, and obey the king's commandment, as all nations have done, and the men of Juda, and they that remain in Jerusalem: and thou, and thy sons, shall be in the number of the king's friends, and enriched with gold, and silver, and many presents.\n19 Then Mathathias answered, and said with a loud voice: Although all nations obey king Antiochus, so as to depart every man from the service of the law of his fathers, and consent to his commandments:\n20 I and my sons, and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers.\n21 God be merciful unto us: it is not profitable for us to forsake the law, and the justices of God:\n22 We will not hearken to the words of king Antiochus, neither will we sacrifice, and transgress the commandments of our law, to go another way.\n23 Now as he left off speaking these words, there came a certain Jew in the sight of all to sacrifice to the idols upon the altar in the city of Modin, according to the king's commandment.\n24 And Mathathias saw and was grieved, and his reins trembled, and his wrath was kindled according to the judgment of the law, and running upon him he slew him upon the altar:\n25 Moreover the man whom king Antiochus had sent, who compelled them to sacrifice, he slew at the same time, and pulled down the altar.\n26 And shewed zeal for the law, as Phinees did by Zamri the son of Salomi.\n27 And Mathathias cried out in the city with a loud voice, saying: Every one that hath zeal for the law, and maintaineth the testament, let him follow me.\n28 So he, and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that they had in the city.\n29 Then many that sought after judgment, and justice, went down into the desert:\n30 And they abode there, they and their children, and their wives, and their cattle: because afflictions increased upon them.\n31 And it was told to the king's men, and to the army that was in Jerusalem in the city of David, that certain men who had broken the king's commandment, were gone away into the secret places in the wilderness, and that many were gone after them.\n32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day,\n33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live.\n34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.\n35 And they made haste to give them battle.\n36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,\n37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.\n38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons.\n39 And Mathathias and his friends heard of it, and they mourned for them exceedingly.\n40 And every man said to his neighbour: If we shall all do as our brethren have done, and not fight against the heathens for our lives, and our justifications: they will now quickly root us out of the earth.\n41 And they determined in that day, saying: Whosoever shall come up against us to fight on the sabbath day, we will fight against him: and we will not all die, as our brethren that were slain in the secret places.\n42 Then was assembled to them the congregation of the Assideans, the stoutest of Israel, every one that had a good will for the law.\n43 And all they that fled from the evils, joined themselves to them, and were a support to them.\n44 And they gathered an army, and slew the sinners in their wrath, and the wicked men in their indignation: and the rest fled to the nations for safety.\n45 And Mathathias and his friends went round about, and they threw down the altars:\n46 And they circumcised all the children whom they found in the confines of Israel that were uncircumcised: and they did valiantly.\n47 And they pursued after the children of pride, and the work prospered in their hands:\n48 And they recovered the law out of the hands of the nations, and out of the hands of the kings: and they yielded not the horn to the sinner.\n49 Now the days drew near that Mathathias should die, and he said to his sons: Now hath pride and chastisement gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:\n50 Now therefore, O my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.\n51 And call to remembrance the works of the fathers, which they have done in their generations: and you shall receive great glory, and an everlasting name.\n52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was reputed to him unto justice?\n53 Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment, and he was made lord of Egypt.\n54 Phinees our father, by being fervent in the zeal of God, received the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.\n**55 Jesus, whilst he fulfilled the word, was made ruler in Israel.**\n56 Caleb, for bearing witness before the congregation, received an inheritance.\n57 David by his mercy obtained the throne of an everlasting kingdom.\n58 Elias, while he was full of zeal for the law, was taken up into heaven.\n59 Ananias and Azarias and Misael by believing, were delivered out of the flame.\n60 Daniel in his innocency was delivered out of the mouth of the lions.\n61 And thus consider through all generations: that none that trust in him fail in strength.\n62 And fear not the words of a sinful man, for his glory is dung, and worms:\n63 To day he is lifted up, and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his earth; and his thought is come to nothing.\n64 You therefore, my sons, take courage, and behave manfully in the law: for by it you shall be glorious.\n65 And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel: give ear to him always, and he shall be a father to you.\n66 And Judas Machabeus who is valiant and strong from his youth up, let him be the leader of your army, and he shall manage the war of the people.\n67 And you shall take to you all that observe the law: and revenge ye the wrong of your people.\n68 Render to the Gentiles their reward, and take heed to the precepts of the law.\n69 And he blessed them, and was joined to his fathers.\n70 And he died in the hundred and forty-sixth year: and he was buried by his sons in the sepulchres of his fathers in Modin, and all Israel mourned for him with great mourning.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content":

prophet, that he commanded them that went into captivity, to take the fire, as it hath been signified, and how he gave charge to them that were carried away into captivity.\n2 And how he gave them the law that they should not forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, seeing the idols of gold, and silver, and the ornaments of them.\n3 And with other such like speeches, he exhorted them that they would not remove the law from their heart.\n4 It was also contained in the same writing, how the prophet, being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he came forth to the mountain where Moses went up, and saw the inheritance of God.\n5 And when Jeremias came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.\n6 Then some of them that followed him, came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.\n7 And when Jeremias perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown, till God gather together the congregation of the people, and receive them to mercy.\n8 And then the Lord will shew these things, and the majesty of the Lord shall appear, and there shall be a cloud as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God.\n9 For he treated wisdom in a magnificent manner: and like a wise man, he offered the sacrifice of the dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.\n10 And as Moses prayed to the Lord and fire came down from heaven, and consumed the holocaust: so Solomon also prayed, and fire came down from heaven and consumed the holocaust.\n11 And Moses said: Because the sin offering was not eaten, it was consumed.\n12 So Solomon also celebrated the dedication eight days.\n13 And these same things were set down in the memoirs and commentaries of Nehemias: and how he made a library, and gathered together out of the countries, the books both of the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings. and concerning the holy gifts.\n14 And in like manner Judas also gathered together all such things as were lost by the war we had, and they are in our possession.\n15 Wherefore if you want these things, send some that may fetch them to you.\n16 As we are then about to celebrate the purification, we have written unto you: and you shall do well, if you keep the same days.\n17 And we hope that God who hath delivered his people, and hath rendered to all the inheritance, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,\n18 As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and will gather us together from every land under heaven into the holy place.\n19 For he hath delivered us out of great perils, and hath cleansed the place.\n20 Now as concerning Judas Machabeus. and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar:\n21 As also the wars against Antiochus the Illustrious, and his son Eupator:\n22 And the manifestations that came from heaven to them, that behaved themselves manfully on the behalf of the Jews, so that, being but a few, they made themselves masters of the whole country, and put to flight; the barbarous multitude:\n23 And recovered again the most renowned temple in all the world, and delivered the city, and restored the laws that were abolished, the Lord with all clemency shewing mercy to them.\n24 And all such things as have been comprised in five books by Jason of Cyrene, we have attempted to abridge in one book.\n25 For considering the multitude of books, and the difficulty that they find that desire to undertake the narrations of histories, because of the multitude of the matter,\n26 We have taken care for those indeed that are willing to read, that it might be a pleasure of mind: and for the studious, that they may more easily commit to memory: and that all that read might receive profit.\n**27 And as to ourselves indeed, in undertaking this work of abridging, we have taken in hand no easy task, yea rather a business full of watching and sweat.**\n28 But as

ourselves, according to the plan proposed, studying to be brief.\n30 For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged for us.\n31 For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a history:\n32 But to pursue brevity of speech, and to avoid nice declarations of things, is to be granted to him that maketh an abridgment.\n33 Here then we will begin the narration:

said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.\n2 And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.\n3 Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.\n4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?\n5 They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.\n6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.\n7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.\n8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.\n9 That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.\n10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.\n11 Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?\n12 Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:\n13 And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.\n14 Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.\n15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.\n16 But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.\n17 The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith: I am not.\n18 Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.\n19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.\n20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.\n**21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.**\n22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?\n23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?\n24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.\n25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.\n26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?\n27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.\n28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.\n29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?\n30 They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.\n31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;\n32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.\n33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?\n34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?\n35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?\n36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.\n37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.\n38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth? And when he said this, he went out again to the Jews, and saith to them: I find no cause in him.\n39 But you have a custom that I should release one unto you at the pasch: will you, therefore, that I release unto you the king of the Jews?\n40 Then cried they all again, saying: Not this man, but Barabbas.

Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?\n3 Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.\n4 But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.\n5 Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.\n6 And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.\n7 What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.\n8 As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.\n**9 And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them.**\n10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.\n11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall?

But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.\n12 Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?\n13 For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,\n14 If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.\n15 For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?\n16 For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.\n17 And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,\n18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.\n19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.\n20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.\n21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.\n22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.\n23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.\n24 For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?\n25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.\n26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.\n27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.\n28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.\n29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.\n30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;\n31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.\n32 For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.\n33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!\n34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord?

This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.\n14 And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.\n15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.\n16 And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.\n17 When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.\n18 The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.\n19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.\n20 Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.\n21 When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.\n22 And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.\n23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.\n24 And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.\n25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.\n26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.\n27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.\n28 As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not.

And I answered: Here I am.\n12 And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled.

Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.\n14 And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house?\n15 Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?\n16 But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.\n17 Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.\n18 And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.\n19 At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols.\n20 And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.\n21 And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,\n22 It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.\n23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.\n24 And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.\n26 And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.\n27 Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?\n28 Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,\n29 It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n30 Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?\n31 Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.\n32 But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away.

And when he was entered into Rachel's tent,**\n34 She in haste hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,\n35 She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.\n36 And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,\n37 And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.\n38 Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:\n39 Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:\n40 Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.\n41 And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.\n42 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.\n43 Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?\n44 Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.\n45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:\n46 And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.\n47 And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.\n48 And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.\n49 The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.\n50 If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.\n51 And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,\n52 Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.\n53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us.

And I answered: Here I am.\n12 And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.\n13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.\n14 And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house?\n15 Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?\n16 But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.\n17 Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.\n18 And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.\n19 At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols.\n20 And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.\n21 And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,\n22 It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.\n23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.\n24 And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.\n26 And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.\n27 Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?\n28 Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,\n29 It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n30 Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?\n31 Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.\n**32 But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.**\n33 So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent,\n34 She in haste hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,\n35 She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.\n36 And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,\n37 And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.\n38 Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:\n39 Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:\n40 Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.\n41 And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.\n42 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.\n43 Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?\n44 Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.\n45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:\n46 And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.\n47 And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.\n48 And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.\n49 The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.\n50 If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.\n51 And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,\n52 Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.\n53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.\n54 And after he had offered sacrifices in the mountain, he called his brethren to eat bread.

And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.\n3 And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.\n4 And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.\n5 But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.\n6 And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.\n7 Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.\n8 And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.\n9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,\n10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.\n11 The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.\n12 Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.\n**13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.**\n14 And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite of the king's seed, in Edom.\n15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,\n16 (For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,)\n17 Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.\n18 And they arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.\n19 And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.\n20 And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.\n21 And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.\n22 And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.\n23 God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:\n24 And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.\n25 And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.\n26 Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.\n27 And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.\n28 And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.\n29 So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.\n30 And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:\n31 And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.\n32 But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:\n33 Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.\n34 Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.\n35 But I will take away the kingdom out of his son's hand and will give thee ten tribes:\n36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.\n37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.\n38 If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:\n39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.\n40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.\n41 And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.\n42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years.\n43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his

sat by the sea side.\n2 And great multitudes were gathered unto him, so that he went up into a boat and sat: and all the multitude stood on the shore.\n3 And he spoke to them many things in parables, saying: Behold the sower went forth to sow.\n4 And whilst he soweth some fell by the way side, and the birds of the air came and ate them up.\n5 And other some fell upon stony ground, where they had not much earth: and they sprung up immediately, because they had no deepness of earth.\n6 And when the sun was up they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.\n7 And others fell among thorns: and the thorns grew up and choked them.\n8 And others fell upon good ground: and they brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, and some thirtyfold.\n9 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.\n10 And his disciples came and said to him: Why speakest thou to them in parables?\n11 Who answered and said to them: Because to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven: but to them it is not given.\n12 For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath.\n13 Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.\n14 And the prophecy of Isaias is fulfilled in them, who saith: By hearing you shall hear, and shall not understand: and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.\n15 For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.\n16 But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.\n17 For, amen, I say to you, many prophets and just men have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them, and to hear the things that you hear and have not heard them.\n18 Hear you therefore the parable of the sower.\n19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, there cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart: this is he that received the seed by the way side.\n20 And he that received the seed upon stony ground, is he that heareth the word, and immediately receiveth it with joy.\n21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but is only for a time: and when there ariseth tribulation and persecution because of the word, he is presently scandalized.\n22 And he that received the seed among thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choketh up the word, and he becometh fruitless.\n23 But he that received the seed upon good ground, is he that heareth the word, and understandeth, and beareth fruit, and yieldeth the one an hundredfold, and another sixty, and another thirty.\n24 Another parable he proposed to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is likened to a man that sowed good seeds in his field.\n25 But while men were asleep, his enemy came and oversowed cockle among the wheat and went his way.\n26 And when the blade was sprung up, and had brought forth fruit, then appeared also the cockle.\n27 And the servants of the goodman of the house coming said to him: Sir, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence then hath it cockle?\n28 And he said to them: An enemy hath done this. And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?\n29 And he said: No, lest perhaps gathering up the cockle, you root up the wheat also together with it.\n30 Suffer both to grow until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather up first the cockle, and bind it into bundles to burn, but the wheat gather ye into my barn.\n31 Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.\n32 Which is the least indeed of all seeds; but when it is grown up, it is greater than all herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come, and dwell in the branches thereof.\n33 Another parable he spoke to them: The kingdom of heaven is like to leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until the whole was leavened.\n34 All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the multitudes: and without parables he did not speak to them.\n35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.\n36 Then having sent away the multitudes, he came into the house, and his disciples came to him, saying: Expound to us the parable of the cockle of the field.\n37 Who made answer and said to them: He that soweth the good seed, is the Son of man.\n38 And the field, is the world. And the good seed are the children of the kingdom. And the cockle, are the children of the wicked one.\n39 And the enemy that sowed them, is the devil. But the harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers are the angels.\n40 Even as cockle therefore is gathered up, and burnt with fire: so shall it be at the end of the world.\n41 The Son of man shall send his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and them that work iniquity.\n**42 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.**\n43 Then shall the just shine as the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.\n44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.\n45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.\n46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.\n47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.\n48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.\n49 So shall it be at the end of the world.

Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.\n3 And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.\n4 And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.\n5 So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.\n6 And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.\n7 And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.\n**8 And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.**\n9 And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.\n10 Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.\n11 Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.\n12 And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess.

And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.\n14 And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.\n15 Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.\n16 He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb.

And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,\n19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth.

If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.\n30 But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.\n31 But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.\n32 Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.\n33 And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.\n34 And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child's flesh grew warm.\n35 Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.\n36 And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.\n37 She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.\n38 And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him.

And they could not eat thereof.\n41 But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat.

Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.\n17 Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.\n18 But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.\n19 The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.\n20 War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.\n21 The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.\n22 The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.\n23 Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.\n24 Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.\n**25 He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.**\n26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.\n27 At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.\n28 His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?\n29 One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:\n30 Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.\n31 So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising.\n32 And the land rested for forty years.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Judges 10:15", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Judges 10:15 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"Maazia, Belgia, Semeia: these were priests.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you're asking about is in *Nehemiah*, chapter *10*.\n\nHere's the complete chapter text:\n*Nehemiah Chapter 10*\n1 And the subscribers were Nehemias, Athersatha the son of Hachelai, and Sedecias,\n2 Saraias, Azarias, Jeremias,\n3 Pheshur, Amarias, Melchias,\n4 Hattus, Sebenia, Melluch,\n5 Harem, Merimuth, Obdias,\n6 Daniel, Genthon, Baruch,\n7 Mosollam, Abia, Miamin,\n**8 Maazia, Belgia, Semeia: these were priests.**\n9 And the Levites, Josue the son of Azanias, Bennui of the sons of Henadad.

"content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *1 Maccabees*, chapter *3*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 3*\n1 Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead.\n2 And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.\n3 And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword.\n4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.\n5 And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire:\n6 And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand.\n7 And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever.\n8 And he went through the cities of Juda, and destroyed the wicked out of them, and turned away wrath from Israel.\n9 And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing.\n10 And Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, and a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.\n11 And Judas understood it, and went forth to meet him: and he overthrew him, and killed him: and many fell down slain, the rest fled away.\n12 And he took their spoils, and Judas took the sword of Apollonius, and fought with it all his lifetime.\n13 And Seron captain of the army of Syria heard that Judas had assembled a company of the faithful, and a congregation with him,\n14 And he said: I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king.\n15 And he made himself ready: and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel.\n16 And they approached even as far as Bethoron: and Judas went forth to meet him, with a small company.\n17 But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas: How shall we, being few, be able to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, and we are ready to faint with fasting to day?\n18 And Judas said: It is an easy matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few: and there is no difference in the sight of the God of heaven to deliver with a great multitude, or with a small company:\n19 For the success of war is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from heaven.\n20 They come against us with an insolent multitude, and with pride, to destroy us, and our wives, and our children, and to take our spoils.\n21 But we will fight for our lives and our laws:\n22 And the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: but as for you, fear them not.\n23 And as soon as he had made an end of speaking, he rushed suddenly upon them: and Seron and his host were overthrown before him:\n24 And he pursued him by the descent of Bethoron even to the plain, and there fell of them eight hundred men, and the rest fled into the land of the Philistines.\n25 And the fear of Judas and of his brethren, and the dread of them fell upon all the nations round about them.\n26 And his fame came to the king, and all nations told of the battles of Judas.\n27 Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army.\n28 And he opened his treasury, and gave out pay to the army for a year: and he commanded them, that they should be ready for all things.\n29 And he perceived that the money of his treasures failed, and that the tributes of the country were small because of the dissension, and the evil that he had brought upon the land, that he might take away the laws of old times:\n30 And he feared that he should not have as formerly enough, for charges and gifts, which he had given before with a liberal hand: for he had abounded more than the kings that had been before him.\n31 And he was greatly perplexed in mind, and purposed to go into Persia, and to take tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.\n32 And he left Lysias, a nobleman of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the kingdom, from the river Euphrates even to the river of Egypt:\n33 And to bring up his son Antiochus, till he came again.\n34 And he delivered to him half the army, and the elephants: and he gave him charge concerning all that he would have done, and concerning the inhabitants of Judea, and Jerusalem:\n35 And that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away the memory of them from that place:\n36 And that he should settle strangers to dwell in all their coasts, and divide their land by lot.\n37 So the king took the half of the army that remained, and went forth from Antioch the chief city of his kingdom, in the hundred and forty-seventh year: and he passed over the river Euphrates, and went through the higher countries.\n38 Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenus, and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends.\n**39 And he sent with them forty thousand men, and seven thousand horsemen: to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it according to the king's orders.**\n40 So they went forth with all their power, and came, and pitched near Emmaus in the plain country.\n41 And the merchants of the countries heard the fame of them: and they took silver and gold in abundance, and servants: and they came into the camp, to buy the children of Israel for slaves: and there were joined to them the forces of Syria, and of the land of the strangers.\n42 And Judas and his brethren saw that evils were multiplied, and that the armies approached to their borders: and they knew the orders the king had given to destroy the people and utterly abolish them.\n43 And they said every man to his neighbour: Let us raise up the low condition of our people, and let us fight for our people, and our sanctuary.\n44 And the assembly was gathered that they might be ready for battle: and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.\n45 Now Jerusalem was not inhabited, but was like a desert: there was none of her children that went in or out: and the sanctuary was trodden down: and the children of strangers were in the castle, there was the habitation of the Gentiles: and joy was taken away from Jacob, and the pipe and harp ceased there.\n46 And they assembled together, and came to Maspha over against Jerusalem: for in Maspha was a place of prayer heretofore in Israel.\n47 And they fasted that day, and put on haircloth, and put ashes upon their heads: and they rent their garments:\n48 And they laid open the books of the law, in which the Gentiles searched for the likeness of their idols:\n49 And they brought the priestly ornaments, and the firstfruits and tithes, and stirred up the Nazarites that had fulfilled their days:\n50 And they cried with a loud voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them?\n51 For thy holies are trodden down, and are profaned, and thy priests are in mourning, and are brought low.\n52 And behold the nations are come together against us to destroy us: thou knowest what they intend against us.\n53 How shall we be able to stand before their face, unless thou, O God, help us?\n54 Then they sounded with trumpets, and cried out with a loud voice.\n55 And after this Judas appointed captains over the people, over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.\n56 And he said to them that were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, that they should return every man to his house, according to the law.\n57 So they removed the camp, and pitched on the south side of Emmaus.\n58 And Judas said: Gird yourselves, and be valiant men, and be ready against the morning, that you may fight with these nations that are assembled against us to destroy us and our sanctuary.\n59 For it is better for us to die in battle, than to see the evils of our nation, and of the holies:\n60 Nevertheless as it shall be the will of God in heaven so be it done.\n", "role":

thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them.\n3 Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites around about, and he made a great slaughter of them.\n4 And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way.\n5 And they were shut up by him in towers, and he set upon them, and devoted them to utter destruction, and burnt their towers with fire, and all that were in them.\n6 Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain:\n7 And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them:\n8 And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea.\n9 And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman.\n10 And they sent letters to Judas and his brethren, saying, The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us, to destroy us:\n11 And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.\n12 Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain.\n13 And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men.\n14 And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:\n15 Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.\n16 Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.\n17 And Judas said to Simon his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan will go into the country of Galaad.\n18 And he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captains of the people with the remnant of the army in Judea to keep it:\n19 And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people: but make no war against the heathens, till we return.\n20 Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas to go into the land of Galaad.\n21 And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.\n22 And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them,\n23 And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy.\n24 And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan his brother passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert.\n25 And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad,\n26 And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim: all these strong and great cities.\n27 Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them and to destroy them all in one day.\n28 Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.\n29 And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.\n30 And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.\n31 And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:\n32 And he said to his host: Fight ye to day for your brethren.\n33 And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.\n34 And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face: and they made a great slaughter of them: and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.\n**35 And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire.**\n36 From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.\n37 But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.\n38 And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:\n39 And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.\n40 And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.\n41 But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.\n42 Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.\n43 And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim.\n44 And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas.\n45 And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives, and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda.\n46 And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it.\n47 And they that were in the city, shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words,\n48 Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our country: and no man shall hurt you: we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them.\n49 Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault every man in the place where he was.\n50 And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night, and the city was delivered into his hands:\n51 And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain.\n52 Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan.\n53 And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda.\n54 And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace.\n55 Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,\n56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought.\n57 And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us.\n58 And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia.\n59 And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle.\n60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:\n61 Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.\n62 But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel.\n63 And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard.\n64 And people assembled to them with joyful acclamations.\n65 Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land toward the south, and he took Chebron, and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof and the towers all round it.\n66 And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria.\n67 In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight.\n68 And Judas turned to Azotus into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\" appears in 1 Maccabees, chapter 10, at verse 34 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where does it say \"And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons?

Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.\n11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.\n12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.\n13 And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.\n14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.\n15 And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.\n16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.\n**17 He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.**\n18 And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.\n19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?\n20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.\n21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)\n22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.\n23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God.

And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, saying: Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof.\n7 For which cause neither did I think myself worthy to come to thee; but say the word, and my servant shall be healed.\n8 For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers: and I say to one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doth it.\n9 Which Jesus hearing, marvelled: and turning about to the multitude that followed him, he said: Amen I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.\n10 And they who were sent, being returned to the house, found the servant whole who had been sick.\n11 And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.\n12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.\n13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.\n14 And he came near and touched the bier.

Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.\n11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.\n12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.\n13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.\n14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.\n15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.\n16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.\n17 And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.\n18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.\n19 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.\n20 But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.\n21 They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.\n22 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.\n23 But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.\n24 When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.\n25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?\n26 Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.\n27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed.\n28 They said therefore unto him: What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?\n29 Jesus answered, and said to them: This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he hath sent.\n30 They said therefore to him: What sign therefore dost thou shew, that we may see, and may believe thee? What dost thou work?\n31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert, as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\n32 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you; Moses gave you not bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.\n33 For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life to the world.\n34 They said therefore unto him: Lord, give us always this bread.\n35 And Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall not hunger: and he that believeth in me shall never thirst.\n36 But I said unto you, that you also have seen me, and you believe not.\n37 All that the Father giveth to me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will not cast out.\n38 Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.\n39 Now this is the will of the Father who sent me: that of all that he hath given me, I should lose nothing; but should raise it up again in the last day.\n40 And this is the will of my Father that sent me: that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth in him, may have life everlasting, and I will raise him up in the last day.\n41 The Jews therefore murmured at him, because he had said: I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n42 And they said: Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then saith he, I came down from heaven?\n43 Jesus therefore answered, and said to them: Murmur not among yourselves.\n44 No man can come to me, except the Father, who hath sent me, draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day.\n45 It is written in the prophets: And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard of the Father, and hath learned, cometh to me.\n46 Not that any man hath seen the Father; but he who is of God, he hath seen the Father.\n47 Amen, amen I say unto you: He that believeth in me, hath everlasting life.\n48 I am the bread of life.\n49 Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead.\n50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die.\n51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven.\n52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.\n53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?\n54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.\n55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.\n56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.\n57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him.\n58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.\n59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever.\n60 These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.\n61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it?\n62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?\n63 If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?\n**64 It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life.**\n65 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him.\n66 And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father.\n67 After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him.\n68 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away?\n69 And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.\n70 And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.\n71 Jesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve; and one of you is a devil?\n72 Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in John 7:14?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the New Testament, in John 7:14 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"Little children, yet a little while I am with you.

And he sought opportunity to betray him in the absence of the multitude.\n7 And the day of the unleavened bread came, on which it was necessary that the pasch should be killed.\n8 And he sent Peter and John, saying: Go, and prepare for us the pasch, that we may eat.\n9 But they said: Where wilt thou that we prepare?\n10 And he said to them: Behold, as you go into the city, there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him into the house where he entereth in.\n11 And you shall say to the goodman of the house: The master saith to thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?\n12 And he will shew you a large dining room, furnished; and there prepare.\n13 And they going, found as he had said to them, and made ready the pasch.\n14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.\n15 And he said to them: With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer.\n16 For I say to you, that from this time I will not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.\n17 And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:\n18 For I say to you, that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, till the kingdom of God come.\n19 And taking bread, he gave thanks, and brake; and gave to them, saying: This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me.\n20 In like manner the chalice also, after he had supped, saying: This is the chalice, the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.\n21 But yet behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.\n22 And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed.\n23 And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.\n24 And there was also a strife amongst them, which of them should seem to be the greater.\n25 And he said to them: The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that have power over them, are called beneficent.\n26 But you not so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is the leader, as he that serveth.\n27 For which is greater, he that sitteth at table, or he that serveth? Is it not he that sitteth at table? But I am in the midst of you, as he that serveth:\n28 And you are they who have continued with me in my temptations:\n29 And I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a kingdom;\n30 That you may eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom: and may sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n31 And the Lord said: Simon, Simon, behold Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:\n32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and thou, being once converted, confirm thy brethren.\n33 Who said to him: Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.\n34 And he said: I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, till thou thrice deniest that thou knowest me.

And his disciples also followed him.\n40 And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.\n41 And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,\n42 Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.\n43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.\n44 And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.\n45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.\n46 And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.\n47 As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.\n48 And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?\n49 And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?\n50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.\n51 But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.\n52 And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?\n53 When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.\n54 And apprehending him, they led him to the high priest's house. But Peter followed afar off.\n55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were sitting about it, Peter was in the midst of them.\n56 Whom when a certain servant maid had seen sitting at the light, and had earnestly beheld him, she said: This man also was with him.\n57 But he denied him, saying: Woman, I know him not.\n58 And after a little while, another seeing him, said: Thou also art one of them.

that is, out of Sion.\n2 And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.\n3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,\n4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.\n5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.\n6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.\n7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.\n8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.\n9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,\n11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.\n12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.\n13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.\n14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.\n15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:\n16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.\n17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:\n18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.\n19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.\n20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.\n21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;\n23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.\n24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.\n25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my

if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?\n28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:\n29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.\n30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.\n31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,\n32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.\n33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee,) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:\n34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.\n35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:\n36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.\n37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,\n38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,\n39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)\n40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.\n41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,\n42 And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,\n43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.\n44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:\n45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.\n46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;\n47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:\n48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:\n49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:\n50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.\n51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.\n**52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.**\n53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.\n54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.\n55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:\n56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.\n57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:\n58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.\n59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:\n60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.\n62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.\n63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.\n64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.\n65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.\n66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that

It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.\n42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.\n43 And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.\n44 And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.\n45 And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.\n46 But they laid hands on him, and held him.\n47 And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.\n48 And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?\n49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.\n50 Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.\n51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.\n52 But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.\n53 And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.\n54 And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.\n55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.\n56 For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.\n57 And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:\n58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.\n59 And their witness did not agree.\n60 And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?\n61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?\n62 And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.\n63 Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?\n64 You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.\n65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.\n66 Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.\n67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.\n68 But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.\n69 And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.\n70 But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.\n71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.\n72 And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.\" is written in Nehemiah 9:36, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"Let her be thy dearest hind, and most agreeable fawn: let her breasts inebriate thee at all times; he thou delighted continually with her love.\" appears in Proverbs, chapter 5, at verse 19 of the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 21 from chapter 17 in Psalm?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Psalm 17:21 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Psalm 49:21", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at Psalm 49:21 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"These things hast thou done, and I was silent.

Here it is:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 9*\n1 In the mean time when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.\n2 And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.\n3 In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem:\n4 And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen.\n5 Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him:\n6 And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.\n7 And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.\n8 Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.\n9 But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few.\n10 Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory.\n11 And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.\n12 And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:\n13 And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.\n**14 And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:**\n15 And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.\n16 And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:\n17 And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.\n18 And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.\n19 And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.\n20 And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.\n21 And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!\n22 But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.\n23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.\n24 In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.\n25 And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country:\n26 And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them.\n27 And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.\n28 And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:\n29 Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.\n30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.\n31 So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.\n32 And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him.\n33 And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,\n34 And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.\n35 And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.\n36 And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.\n37 After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.\n38 And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain.\n39 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.\n40 And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils:\n41 And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.\n42 And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.\n43 And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.\n44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.\n45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.\n46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.\n47 And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.\n48 And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:\n49 And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem,\n50 And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.\n51 And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel:\n52 And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals:\n53 And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody.\n54 Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to be destroyed: and he began to destroy.\n55 At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house.\n56 And Alcimus died at that time in great torment.\n57 And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.\n58 And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.\n59 So they went, and gave him counsel.\n60 And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them.\n61 And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them.\n62 And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it.\n63 And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea.\n64 And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines.\n65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men.\n66 And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces.\n67 But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines.\n68 And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain.\n69 And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country.\n70 And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners.\n71 And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life.\n72 And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders.\n73 So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea.\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea.\" is from 1 Maccabees 14:5 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "2 Chronicles, chapter 18, verse 8 -

But thou art a wise man, and knowest what to do with him, and thou shalt bring down his grey hairs with blood to hell.\n10 So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.\n11 And the days that David reigned in Israel, were forty years: in Hebron he reigned seven years, in Jerusalem thirty-three.\n12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.\n13 And Adonias the son of Haggith came to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon. And she said to him: Is thy coming peaceable? he answered: Peaceable.\n14 And he added: I have a word to speak with thee. She said to him: Speak. And he said:\n15 Thou knowest that the kingdom was nine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord.\n16 Now therefore I ask one petition of thee: turn not away my face. And she said to him: Say on.\n17 And he said: I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag the Sunamitess to wife.\n18 And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king.\n19 Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand.\n20 And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee, do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother, ask: for I must not turn away thy face.\n21 And she said: Let Abisag the Sunamitess be given to Adonias thy brother to wife.\n22 And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag the Sunamitess for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom: for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar the priest, and Joab the son of Sarvia.\n23 Then king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: So and so may God do to me, and add more, if Adonias hath not spoken this word against his own life.\n24 And now as the Lord liveth, who hath established me, and placed me upon the throne of David my father, and who hath made me a house, as he promised, Adonias shall be put to death this day.\n25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Banaias the son of Joiada, who slew him, and he died.\n26 And the king said also to Abiathar the priest: Go to Anathoth to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured.\n27 So Solomon cast out Abiathar, from being the priest of the Lord, that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke concerning the house of Deli in Silo.\n28 And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord and laid hold on the horn of the altar.\n29 And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias the son of Joiada, saying: Go, kill him.\n30 And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me.\n31 And the king said to him: Do as he hath said: and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father.\n32 And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing it, Abner the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, general of the army of Juda.\n33 And their blood shall return the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever.

But there was no small terror throughout the whole city.\n15 And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them.\n16 Now whosoever saw the countenance of the high priest, was wounded in heart: for his face, and the changing of his colour declared the inward sorrow of his mind.\n17 For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart.\n18 Others also came flocking together out of their houses, praying and making public supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.\n19 And the women, girded with haircloth about their breasts, came together in the streets. And the virgins also that were shut up, came forth, some to Onias, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.\n20 And all holding up their hands towards heaven, made supplication.\n21 For the expectation of the mixed multitude, and of the high priest who was in an agony, would have moved any one to pity.\n22 And these indeed called upon almighty God, to preserve the things that had been committed to them, safe and sure for those that had committed them.\n23 But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury.\n24 But the spirit of the almighty God gave a great evidence of his presence, so that all that had presumed to obey him, falling down by the power of God, were struck with fainting and dread.\n25 For there appeared to them a horse with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold.\n26 Moreover there appeared two other young men beautiful and strong, bright and glorious, and in comely apparel: who stood by him, on either side, and scourged him without ceasing with many stripes.\n27 And Heliodorus suddenly fell to the ground, and they took him up covered with great darkness, and having put him into a litter they carried him out.\n28 So he that came with many servants, and all his guard into the aforesaid treasury, was carried out, no one being able to help him, the manifest power of God being known.\n29 And he indeed by the power of God lay speechless, and without all hope of recovery.\n30 But they praised the Lord because he had glorified his place: and the temple, that a little before was full of fear and trouble, when the almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.\n31 Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost.\n32 So the high priest considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man.\n33 And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life.\n34 And thou having been scourged by God, declare unto all men the great works and the power of God. And having spoken thus, they appeared no more.\n35 So Heliodorus after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king.\n36 And he testified to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his own eyes.\n37 And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said:\n38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor to thy kingdom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God.\n39 For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor, and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it.\n40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury fell out in this manner.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.\n5 And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.\n6 And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years.\n7 And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place.\n8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.\n9 And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,\n10 And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.\n11 Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.\n12 But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:\n13 And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.\n14 And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.\n15 So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.\n16 And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem.\n17 And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,\n18 Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.\n19 This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.\n20 At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father's house.\n21 And when he was exposed, Pharao's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.\n22 And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.\n23 And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.\n24 And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.\n25 And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.\n26 And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another?\n27 But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?\n28 What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?\n29 And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.\n30 And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.\n31 And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight.

What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting?\n50 Hath not my hand made all these things?\n51 You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.\n52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted?

but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.\n7 Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.\n8 For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.\n9 A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.\n10 But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:\n11 Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.\n12 And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,\n13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.\n14 And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:\n15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.\n16 These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.\n17 The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.\n18 For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.\n19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.\n20 Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.\n21 These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.\n22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew.

and shall you possess the land by inheritance?\n27 Say thou thus to them: Thus saith the Lord God: As I live, they that dwell in the ruinous places, shall fall by the sword: and he that is in the field, shall be given to the beasts to be devoured: and they that are in holds, and caves, shall die of the pestilence.\n28 And I will make the land a wilderness, and a desert, and the proud strength thereof shall fail, and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, because there is none to pass by them.\n29 And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed.\n30 And thou son of man: the children of thy people, that talk of thee by the walls, and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another each man to his neighbour, saying: Come, and let us hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord.\n31 And they come to thee, as if a people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness.\n32 And thou art to them as a musical song which is sung with a sweet and agreeable voice: and they hear thy words, and do them not.\n33 And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, (for behold it is coming,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:\" is found?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *Job*, chapter *3*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*Job Chapter 3*\n1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,\n2 And he said:\n3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.\n4 Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.\n5 Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.\n6 Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.\n7 Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.\n8 Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:\n9 Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:\n10 Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.\n11 Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?\n12 Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts?\n13 For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.\n14 With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:\n15 Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:\n16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.\n17 There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.\n18 And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.\n19 The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.\n20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?\n**21 That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:**\n22 And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.\n23 To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?\n24 Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:\n25 For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.\n26 Have I not dissembled? have I not kept silence? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Job 42:4", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**Old Testament**\n*Job 42:4 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Leviticus 13:9", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Leviticus 13:9 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Show me Luke 10:21", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Luke chapter 10, verse 21, New Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"In that same hour, he rejoiced in the Holy Ghost, and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones.

And when the Philistines had heard of it, Saul sounded the trumpet over all the land, saying: Let the Hebrews hear.\n4 And all Israel heard this report: Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines: and Israel took courage against the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Galgal.\n5 The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the sea shore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas at the east of Bethaven.\n6 And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened, (for the people were distressed,) they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits.\n7 And some of the Hebrews passed over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Galaad. And when Saul was yet in Galgal, all the people that followed him were greatly afraid.\n8 And he waited seven days according to the appointment of Samuel, I and Samuel came not to Galgal, and the people slipt away from him.\n**9 Then Saul said: Bring me the holocaust, and the peace offerings. And he offered the holocaust.**\n10 And when he had made an end of offering the holocaust, behold Samuel came: and Saul went forth to meet him and salute him.\n11 And Samuel said to him: What hast thou done? Saul answered: Because I saw that the people slipt from me, and thou wast not come according to the days appointed, and the Philistines were gathered together in Machmas,\n12 I said: Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Galgal, and I have not appeased the face of the Lord. Forced by necessity, I offered the holocaust.\n13 And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.\n14 But thy kingdom shall not continue. The Lord hath sought him a man according to his own heart: and him hath the Lord commanded to be prince over his people, because thou hast not observed that which the Lord commanded.\n15 And Samuel arose and went up from Galgal to Gabaa of Benjamin. And the rest of the people went up after Saul, to meet the people who fought against them, going from Galgal to Gabaa in the hill of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people, that were found with him, about six hundred men.\n16 And Saul and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, were in Gabaa of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Machmas.\n17 And there went out of the camp of the Philistines three companies to plunder. One company went towards the way of Ephra to the land of Sual;\n18 And another went by the way of Beth-horon, and the third turned to the way of the border, above the valley of Seboim towards the desert.\n19 Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears.\n20 So all Israel went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his ploughshare, and his spade, and his axe, and his rake.\n21 So that their shares, and their spades, and their forks, and their axes were blunt, even to the goad, which was to be mended.\n22 And when the day of battle was come, there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan, except Saul and Jonathan his son.\n23 And the army of the Philistines went out in order to advance further in Machmas.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king.

And he abode there two days.\n41 And many more believed in him because of his own word.\n42 And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.\n43 Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.\n44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.\n45 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.\n46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.\n47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.\n48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.\n49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.\n50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.\n51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.\n52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.\n53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.\n54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book and chapter where \"Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?

gold.\n2 And that there was in it a temple, exceeding rich: and coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields which king Alexander, son of Philip the Macedonian that reigned first in Greece, had left there.\n3 Lo, he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it: But he was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the city.\n4 And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia.\n5 And whilst he was in Persia, there came one that told him, how the armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight:\n6 And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten out of the camps which they had destroyed:\n7 And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also his city.\n8 And it came to pass when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined.\n9 And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die.\n10 And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety.\n11 And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow, wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power!\n12 But now I remember the evils that I have done in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause.\n13 I know therefore that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land.\n14 Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom.\n**15 And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom.**\n16 So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty-nine.\n17 And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus his son to reign, whom he brought up young: and he called his name Eupator.\n18 Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles.\n19 And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them.\n20 And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines.\n21 And some of the besieged got out: and some wicked men of Israel joined themselves unto them.\n22 And they went to the king, and said: How long dost thou delay to execute the judgment, and to revenge our brethren?\n23 We determined to serve thy father and to do according to his orders, and obey his edicts:\n24 And for this they of our nation are alienated from us, and have slain as many of us as they could find, and have spoiled our inheritances.\n25 Neither have they put forth their hand against us only, but also against all our borders.\n26 And behold they have approached this day to the castle of Jerusalem to take it, and they have fortified the stronghold of Bethsura:\n27 And unless thou speedily prevent them, they will do greater things than these, and thou shalt not be able to subdue them.\n28 Now when the king heard this, he was angry: and he called together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and them that were over the horsemen.\n29 There came also to him from other realms, and from the islands of the sea hired troops.\n30 And the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants, trained to battle.\n31 And they went through Idumea, and approached to Bethsura, and fought many days, and they made engines: but they sallied forth and burnt them with fire, and fought manfully.\n32 And Judas departed from the castle, and removed the camp to Bethzacharam, over against the king's camp.\n33 And the king rose before it was light, and made his troops march on fiercely towards the way of Bethzacharam: and the armies made themselves ready for the battle, and they sounded the trumpets:\n34 And they shewed the elephants the blood of grapes, and mulberries to provoke them to fight.\n35 And they distributed the beasts by the legions: and there stood by every elephant a thousand men in coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads: and five hundred horsemen set in order were chosen for every beast.\n36 These before the time wheresoever the beast was, the were there: and withersoever it went, they went, and they departed not from it.\n37 And upon the beast, there were strong wooden towers, which covered every one of them: and engines upon them: and upon every one thirty-two valiant men, who fought from above; and an Indian to rule the beast.\n38 And the rest of the horsemen he placed on this side and on that side at the two wings, with trumpets to stir up the army, and to hasten them forward that stood thick together in the legions thereof.\n39 Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold, and of brass, the mountains glittered therewith, and they shone like lamps of fire.\n40 And part of the king's army was distinguished by the high mountains, and the other part by the low places: and they marched on warily and orderly.\n41 And all the inhabitants of the land were moved at the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the armour, for the army was exceeding great and strong.\n42 And Judas and his army drew near for battle: and there fell of the king's army six hundred men.\n43 And Eleazar the son of Saura saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts: and it seemed to him that the king was on it:\n44 And he exposed himself to deliver his people and to get himself an everlasting name.\n45 And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side.\n46 And he went between the feet of the elephant, and put himself under it: and slew it, and it fell to the ground upon him, and he died there.\n47 Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them.\n48 But the king's army went up against them to Jerusalem: and the king's army pitched their tents against Judea and mount Sion.\n49 And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land.\n50 And the king took Bethsura: and he placed there a garrison to keep it.\n51 And he turned his army against the sanctuary for many days: and he set up there battering slings, and engines and instruments to cast fire, and engines to cast stones and javelins, and pieces to shoot arrows, and slings.\n52 And they also made engines against their engines, and they fought for many days.\n53 But there were no victuals in the city, because it was the seventh year: and such as had stayed in Judea of them that came from among the nations, had eaten the residue of all that which had been stored up.\n54 And there remained in the holy places but a few, for the famine had prevailed over them: and they were dispersed every man to his own place.\n55 Now Lysias heard that Philip, whom king Antiochus while he lived had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, and to reign, to be king,\n56 Was returned from Persia, and Media, with the army that went with him, and that he sought to take upon him the affairs of the kingdom:\n57 Wherefore he made haste to go, and say to the king and to the captains of the army: We decay daily, and our provision of victuals is small, and the place that we lay siege to is strong, and it lieth upon us to take order for the affairs of the kingdom.\n58 Now therefore let us come to an agreement with these men, and make peace with them and with all their nation.\n59 And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things.\n60 And the proposal was acceptable in the sight of the king, and of the princes: and he sent to them to make peace: and they accepted of it.\n61 And the king and the princes swore to them: and they came out of the stronghold.\n62 Then the king entered into mount Sion, and saw the strength of the place: and he quickly broke the oath that he had taken, and gave commandment to throw down the wall round about.\n63 And he departed in haste, and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip master of the city: and he fought against him, and took the city.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Tell me what 2 Chronicles 35:4 says", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in 2 Chronicles 35:4 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And prepare yourselves by your houses, and families according to your courses, as David king of Israel commanded, and Solomon his son hath written.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I need the text of 2 Corinthians 11:19", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the New Testament, in 2 Corinthians 11:19 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"For you gladly suffer the foolish; whereas yourselves are wise.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in Ecclesiastes 1:14?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Ecclesiastes chapter 1, verse 14, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"I have seen all things that are done under the sun, and behold all is vanity, and vexation of spirit.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Tell me what Exodus 26:1 says", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the Old Testament, in Exodus 26:1 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where in the books does \"And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder.

And he answered: Here I am.\n2 And his father said to him: Thou seest that I am old, and know not the day of my death.\n3 Take thy arms, thy quiver, and bow, and go abroad: and when thou hast taken some thing by hunting,\n4 Make me savoury meat thereof, as thou knowest I like, and bring it, that I may eat: and my soul may bless thee before I die.\n5 And when Rebecca had heard this, and he was gone into the field to fulfill his father's commandment,\n6 She said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him:\n7 Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.\n8 Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel:\n9 And go thy way to the flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth:\n10 Which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before he die.\n11 And he answered her: Thou knowest that Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am smooth.\n12 If my father shall feel me, and perceive it, I fear lest he will think I would have mocked him, and I shall bring upon me a curse instead of a blessing.\n13 And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said.\n14 He went, and brought, and gave them to his mother. She dressed meats, such as she knew his father liked.\n15 And she put on him very good garments of Esau, which she had at home with her:\n16 And the little skins of the kids she put about his hands, and covered the bare of his neck.\n17 And she gave him the savoury meat, and delivered him bread that she had baked.\n18 Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? But he answered: I hear. Who art thou, my son?\n19 And Jacob said: I am Esau thy firstborn: I have done as thou didst command me: arise, sit, and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.\n20 And Isaac said to his son: How couldst thou find it so quickly, my son? He answered: It was the will of God, that what I sought came quickly in my way.\n21 And Isaac said: Come hither, that I may feel thee, my son, and may prove whether thou be my son Esau, or not.\n22 He came near to his father, and when he had felt him, Isaac said: The voice indeed is the voice of Jacob; but the hands are the hands of Esau.\n**23 And he knew him not, because his hairy hands made him like to the elder. Then blessing him,**\n24 He said: Art thou my son Esau? He answered: I am.\n25 Then he said: Bring me the meats of thy hunting, my son, that my soul may bless thee. And when they were brought, and he had eaten, he offered him wine also, which after he had drunk,\n26 He said to him: Come near me, and give me a kiss, my son.\n27 He came near, and kissed him. And immediately as he smelled the fragrant smell of his garments, blessing him, he said: Behold the smell of my son is as the smell of a plentiful field, which the Lord hath blessed.\n28 God give thee the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, abundance of corn and wine.\n29 And let peoples serve thee, and tribes worship thee: be thou lord of thy brethren, and let thy mother's children bow down before thee. Cursed be he that curseth thee: and let him that blesseth thee be filled with blessings.\n30 Isaac had scarce ended his words, when Jacob being now gone out abroad, Esau came,\n31 And brought in to his father meats made of what he had taken in hunting, saying: Arise, my father, and eat of thy son's venison; that thy soul may bless me.\n32 And Isaac said to him: Why! who art thou? He answered: I am thy firstborn son Esau.\n33 Isaac was struck with fear, and astonished exceedingly: and wondering beyond what can be believed, said Who is he then that even now brought me venison that he had taken, and I ate of all before thou camest? and I have blessed him, and he shall be blessed.\n34 Esau having heard his father's words, roared out with a great cry: and being in a great consternation, said: Bless me also, my father.\n35 And he said: Thy brother came deceitfully and got thy blessing.\n36 But he said again: Rightly is his name called Jacob; for he hath supplanted me lo this second time: my first birthright he took away before, and now this second time he hath stolen away my blessing. And again he said to his father: Hast thou not reserved me also a blessing?\n37 Isaac answered: I have appointed him thy lord, and have made all his brethren his servants: I have established him with corn and wine, and after this, what shall I do more for thee, my son?\n38 And Esau said to him: Hast thou only one blessing, father? I beseech thee bless me also. And when he wept with a loud cry,\n39 Isaac being moved, said to him: In the fat of the earth, and in the dew of heaven from above,\n40 Shall thy blessing be. Thou shalt live by the sword and shalt serve thy brother: and the time shall come, when thou shalt shake off and loose his yoke from thy neck.\n41 Esau therefore always hated Jacob for the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him: and he said in his heart: The days will come of the mourning of my father, and I will kill my brother Jacob.\n42 These things were told to Rebecca: and she sent and called Jacob her son, and said to him: Behold Esau thy brother threateneth to kill thee.\n43 Now therefore, my son, hear my voice: arise and flee to Laban my brother to Haran:\n44 And thou shalt dwell with him a few days, till the wrath of thy brother be assuaged,\n45 And his indignation cease, and he forget the things thou hast done to him: afterwards I will send, and bring thee from thence hither. Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day?\n46 And Rebecca said to Isaac: I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the stock of this land, I choose not to live.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me James 3:8", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From the New Testament, in James 3:8 (Douay Rheims), we read:\n\"But the tongue no man can tame, an unquiet evil, full of deadly poison.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"But Peter stood at the door without.

Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.\n6 As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.\n7 Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.\n8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.\n9 That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.\n10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.\n11 Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?\n12 Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:\n13 And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.\n14 Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.\n15 And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.\n**16 But Peter stood at the door without.

He saith: I am not.\n18 Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.\n19 The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.\n20 Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.\n21 Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.\n22 And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?\n23 Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?\n24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.\n25 And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. They said therefore to him: Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said: I am not.\n26 One of the servants of the high priest (a kinsman to him whose ear Peter cut off) saith to him: Did I not see thee in the garden with him?\n27 Again therefore Peter denied; and immediately the cock crew.\n28 Then they led Jesus from Caiphas to the governor's hall. And it was morning; and they went not into the hall, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the pasch.\n29 Pilate therefore went out to them, and said: What accusation bring you against this man?\n30 They answered, and said to him: If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up to thee.\n31 Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death;\n32 That the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he said, signifying what death he should die.\n33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?\n34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?\n35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?\n36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.\n37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.\n38 Pilate saith to him: What is truth?

Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries.\n3 But he that prophesieth, speaketh to men unto edification, and exhortation, and comfort.\n4 He that speaketh in a tongue, edifieth himself: but he that prophesieth, edifieth the church.\n5 And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth, than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification.\n6 But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in doctrine?\n7 Even things without life that give sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction of sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?\n8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?\n9 So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air.\n10 There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world; and none is without voice.\n11 If then I know not the power of the voice, I shall be to him to whom I speak a barbarian; and he that speaketh, a barbarian to me.\n12 So you also, forasmuch as you are zealous of spirits, seek to abound unto the edifying of the church.\n13 And therefore he that speaketh by a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.\n14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is without fruit.\n15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, I will pray also with the understanding; I will sing with the spirit, I will sing also with the understanding.\n16 Else if thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that holdeth the place of the unlearned say, Amen, to thy blessing? because he knoweth not what thou sayest.\n17 For thou indeed givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.\n18 I thank my God I speak with all your tongues.\n19 But in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may instruct others also; than ten thousand words in a tongue.\n20 Brethren, do not become children in sense: but in malice be children, and in sense be perfect.\n21 In the law it is written: In other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people; and neither so will they hear me, saith the Lord.\n22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers, but to unbelievers; but prophecies not to unbelievers, but to believers.\n23 If therefore the whole church come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in unlearned persons or infidels, will they not say that you are mad?\n24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or an unlearned person, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all.\n25 The secrets of his heart are made manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he will adore God, affirming that God is among you indeed.\n26 How is it then, brethren? When you come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation: let all things be done to edification.\n27 If any speak with a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and in course, and let one interpret.\n28 But if there be no interpreter, let him hold his peace in the church, and speak to himself and to God.\n29 And let the prophets speak, two or three; and let the rest judge.\n30 But if any thing be revealed to another sitting, let the first hold his peace.\n31 For you may all prophesy one by one; that all may learn, and all may be exhorted:\n32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.\n**33 For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints.**\n34 Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith.\n35 But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home.

Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.\n39 So Gaal went out in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,\n40 Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:\n41 And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.\n42 So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told Abimelech.\n43 And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose and set upon them,\n44 With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field.\n45 And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.\n46 And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.\n47 Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,\n48 Went up into mount Selmon he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do you out of hand.\n49 So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort they set it on fire: and so it came to pass that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem.\n50 Then Abimelech departing from thence came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.\n51 And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.\n52 And Abimelech coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it:\n53 And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.\n54 And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.\n55 And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.\n56 And God repaid the evil, that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren.\n57 The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read Judges chapter 11, verse 21", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here's the passage from Judges 11:21 in the Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And the Lord delivered him with all his army into the hands of Israel, and he slew him, and possessed all the land of the Amorrhite the inhabitant of that country,\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Find and read Luke chapter 23, verse 46", "role": "user" }, { "content": "From Luke chapter 23, verse 46, New Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And Jesus crying out with a loud voice, said: Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit.

Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee,\n7 Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.\n8 And they remembered his words.\n9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.\n10 And it was Mary Magdalen, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.\n11 And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.\n12 But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves; and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.\n13 And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.\n14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.\n15 And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.\n16 But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.\n17 And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?\n18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?\n19 To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;\n20 And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.\n21 But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.\n22 Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,\n23 And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.\n24 And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.\n25 Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.\n26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?\n27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.\n28 And they drew nigh to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.\n29 But they constrained him; saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent.

And Jeremias sunk into the mire.\n7 Now Abdemelech the Ethiopian, an eunuch that was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremias in the dungeon: but the king was sitting in the gate of Benjamin.\n8 And Abdemelech went out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying:\n9 My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done against Jeremias the prophet, casting him into the dungeon to die there with hunger, for there is no more bread in the city.\n10 Then the king commanded Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying: Take from hence thirty men with thee, and draw up Jeremias the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.\n11 So Abdemelech taking the men with him, went into the king's house that was under the storehouse: and he took from thence old rags, and old rotten things, and he let them down by cords to Jeremias into the dungeon.\n12 And Abdemelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremias: Put these old rags and these rent and rotten things under thy arms, and upon the cords: and Jeremias did so.\n13 And they drew up Jeremias with the cords, and brought him forth out of the dungeon.

And they had John also in the ministry.\n6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:\n7 Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.\n8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.\n9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,\n10 Said: O full of all guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not to pervert the right ways of the Lord.\n11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.\n12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.\n13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.\n14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.\n15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.\n16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.\n17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,\n18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.\n19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,\n20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.\n21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.\n22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.\n23 Of this man's seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:\n24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.\n25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.\n26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.\n27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.\n28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.\n29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.\n30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:\n31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.\n32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,\n33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.\n34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.\n35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.\n36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.\n37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.\n38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.\n**39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.**\n40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:\n41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.\n42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.\n43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.\n44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.\n45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.\n46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles.\n47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.\n48 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed.\n49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.\n50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.\n51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.\n52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Read me Acts 16:27", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse in Acts 16:27 of the New Testament (Douay Rheims) goes:\n\"And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the reference (book, chapter, verse) for \"And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, the book of Acts, chapter 21, verse 15 states: \"And after those days, being prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which chapter and book contains \"And they have not known his justices, nor walked by the ways of God's commandments, neither have they entered by the paths of his truth and justice.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "That verse comes from *Baruch*, chapter *4*.\n\nCheck out the whole chapter:\n*Baruch Chapter 4*\n1 This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law, that is for ever: all they that keep it, shall come to life: but they that have forsaken it, to death.\n2 Return, O Jacob, and take hold of it, walk in the way by its brightness, in the presence of the light thereof.\n3 Give not thy honour to another, nor thy dignity to a strange nation.\n4 We are happy, O Israel: because the things that are pleasing to God, are made known to us.\n5 Be of good comfort, O people of God, the memorial of Israel:\n6 You have been sold to the Gentiles, not for your destruction: but because you provoked God to wrath, you are delivered to your adversaries.\n7 For you have provoked him who made you, the eternal God, offering sacrifice to devils, and not to God.\n8 For you have forgotten God, who brought you up, and you have grieved Jerusalem that nursed you.\n9 For she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, and she said: Give ear, all you that dwell near Sion, for God hath brought upon me great mourning:\n10 For I have seen the captivity of my people, of my sons, and my daughters, which the Eternal hath brought upon them.\n11 For I nourished them with joy: but I sent them away with weeping and mourning.\n12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and desolate: I am forsaken of many for the sins of my children, because they departed from the law of God.\n**13 And they have not known his justices, nor walked by the ways of God's commandments, neither have they entered by the paths of his truth and justice.**\n14 Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Eternal hath brought upon them.\n15 For he hath brought a nation upon them from afar, a wicked nation, and of a strange tongue:\n16 Who have neither reverenced the ancient, nor pitied children, and have carried away the beloved of the widow, and have left me all alone without children.\n17 But as for me, what help can I give you?\n18 But he that hath brought the evils upon you, he will deliver you out of the hands of your enemies.\n19 Go your way, my children, go your way: for I am left alone.\n20 I have put off the robe of peace, and have put upon me the sackcloth of supplication, and I will cry to the most High in my days.\n21 Be of good comfort, my children, cry to the Lord, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the princes your enemies.\n22 For my hope is in the Eternal that he will save you: and joy is come upon me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall come to you from our everlasting Saviour.\n23 For I sent you forth with mourning and weeping: but the Lord will bring you back to me with joy and gladness for ever.\n24 For as the neighbours of Sion have now seen your captivity from God: so shall they also shortly see your salvation from God, which shall come upon you with great honour, and everlasting glory.\n25 My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you: for thy enemy hath persecuted thee, but thou shalt quickly see his destruction: and thou shalt get up upon his neck.\n26 My delicate ones have walked rough ways, for they were taken away as a flock made a prey by the enemies.\n27 Be of good comfort, my children, and cry to the Lord: for you shall be remembered by him that hath led you away.\n28 For as it was your mind to go astray from God;

And a people with their leader that shall come, shall destroy the city and the sanctuary: and the end thereof shall be waste, and after the end of the war the appointed desolation.\n27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many, in one week: and in the half of the week the victim and the sacrifice shall fall: and there shall be in the temple the abomination of desolation: and the desolation shall continue even to the consummation, and to the end.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao: and Moses cried to the Lord for the promise, which he had made to Pharao concerning the frogs.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "You're looking at a verse from *Exodus*, chapter *8*.\n\nHere's what the chapter says:\n*Exodus Chapter 8*\n1 And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao, and thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Let my people go to sacrifice to me.\n2 But if thou wilt not let them go behold I will strike all thy coasts with frogs.\n3 And the river shall bring forth an abundance of frogs: which shall come up, and enter into thy house, and thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and in the houses of thy servants, and to thy people, and into thy ovens, and into the remains of thy meats;\n4 And the frogs shall come in to thee and to thy people, and to all thy servants.\n5 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand upon the streams and upon the rivers and the pools, and bring forth frogs upon the land of Egypt.\n6 And Aaron stretched forth his hand upon the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.\n7 And the magicians also by their enchantments did in like manner, and the brought forth frogs upon all the land of Egypt.\n8 But Pharao called Moses and Aaron and said to them: Pray ye to the Lord to take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go to sacrifice to the Lord.\n9 And Moses said to Pharao: Set me a time when I shall pray for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, that the frogs may be driven away from thee and from thy house, and from thy servants, and from thy people: and may remain only in the river.\n10 And he answered: To morrow.

Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.\n3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,\n4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.\n5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.\n6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.\n7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.\n8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.\n9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,\n11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.\n12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.\n13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.\n14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.\n**15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:**\n16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.\n17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:\n18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.\n19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.\n20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.\n21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.\n22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;\n23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.\n24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.\n25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.\n26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.\n27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?\n28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:\n29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.\n30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.\n31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,\n32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.\n33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee,) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:\n34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.\n35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:\n36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.\n37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,\n38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,\n39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)\n40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.\n41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,\n42 And thy stretched out arm,) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,\n43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.\n44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:\n45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.\n46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;\n47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:\n48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:\n49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:\n50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.\n51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.\n52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.\n53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.\n54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.\n55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:\n56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.\n57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:\n58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.\n59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:\n60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.\n61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.\n62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.\n63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.\n64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.\n65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.\n66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Do you know the book

city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.\n2 And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.\n3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.\n4 So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.\n5 Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.\n6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.\n7 But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever.\n8 In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king.\n9 And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry.\n10 However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:\n11 Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.\n12 And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,\n13 But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,\n14 Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.\n15 And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.\n**16 And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.**\n17 And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.\n18 And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.\n19 And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.\n20 He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

And I said to her: Give me a little to drink.\n46 And she speedily let down the pitcher from her shoulder, and said to me: Both drink thou, and to thy camels I will give drink. I drank, and she watered the camels.\n47 And I asked her, and said: Whose daughter art thou? And she answered: I am the daughter of Bathuel, the son of Nachor, whom Melcha bore to him. So I put earrings on her to adorn her face, and I put bracelets on her hands.\n48 And falling down I adored the Lord, blessing the Lord God of my master Abraham, who hath brought me the straight way to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son.\n49 Wherefore if you do according to mercy and truth with my master, tell me: but if it please you otherwise, tell me that also, that I may go to the right hand, or to the left.\n50 And Laban and Bathuel answered: The word hath proceeded from the Lord, we cannot speak any other thing to thee but his pleasure.\n51 Behold Rebecca is before thee, take her and go thy way, and let her be the wife of thy master's son, as the Lord hath spoken.\n52 Which when Abraham's servant heard, falling down to the ground he adored the Lord.\n53 And bringing forth vessels of silver and gold, and garments, he gave them to Rebecca for a present. He offered gifts also to her brothers, and to her mother.\n54 And a banquet was made, and they ate and drank together, and lodged there. And in the morning, the servant arose, and said: Let me depart, that I may go to my master.\n55 And her brother and mother answered: Let the maid stay at least ten days with us, and afterwards she shall depart.\n56 Stay me not, said he, because the Lord hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may go to my master.\n57 And they said: Let us call the maid, and ask her will.\n58 And they called her, and when she was come, they asked: Wilt thou go with this man? She said: I will go.\n59 So they sent her away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his company,\n60 Wishing prosperity to their sister, and saying: Thou art our sister, mayst thou increase to thousands of thousands, and may thy seed possess the gates of their enemies.\n61 So Rebecca and her maids, being set upon camels, followed the man: who with speed returned to his master.\n62 At the same time Isaac was walking along the way to the well which is called Of the living and the seeing: for he dwelt in the south country.\n63 And he was gone forth to meditate in the field, the day being now well spent: and when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw camels coming afar off.\n64 Rebecca also, when she saw Isaac, lighted off the camel,\n65 And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? And he said to her: That man is my master. But she quickly took her cloak, and covered herself.\n66 And the servant told Isaac all that he had done.\n67 Who brought her into the tent of Sara his mother, and took her to wife: and he loved her so much, that it moderated the sorrow which was occasioned by his mother's death.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"And Sela, Eleph and Jebus, which is Jerusalem, Gabaath and Cariath: fourteen cities, and their villages.

And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them.\n8 And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them, saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo.\n9 So they went: and surveying it divided it into seven parts, writing them down in a book.

And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.\n9 After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:\n10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?\n11 Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?\n12 Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?\n13 Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?\n14 Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?\n15 Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.\n16 And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.\n17 He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.\n**18 Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.**\n19 And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.\n20 And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.\n21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country.

And I answered: Here I am.\n12 And he said: Lift up thy eyes, and see that all the males leaping upon the females, are of divers colours, spotted, and speckled. For I have seen all that Laban hath done to thee.\n13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou didst anoint the stone, and make a vow to me. Now therefore arise, and go out of this land, and return into thy native country.\n14 And Rachel and Lia answered: Have we any thing left among the goods and inheritance of our father's house?\n15 Hath he not counted us as strangers and sold us, and eaten up the price of us?\n16 But God hath taken our father's riches, and delivered them to us, and to our children: wherefore do all that God hath commanded thee.\n17 Then Jacob rose up, and having set his children and wives upon camels, went his way.\n18 And he took all his substance, and flocks, and whatsoever he had gotten in Mesopotamia, and went forward to Isaac his father to the land of Chanaan.\n19 At that time Laban was gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole away her father's idols.\n20 And Jacob would not confess to his father in law that he was flying away.\n21 And when he was gone, together with all that belonged to him, and having passed the river, was going on towards mount Galaad,\n22 It was told Laban on the third day that Jacob fled.\n23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days; and overtook him in the mount of Galaad.\n24 And he saw in a dream God saying to him: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n25 Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and when he with his brethren had overtaken him, he pitched his tent in the same mount of Galaad.\n26 And he said to Jacob: Why hast thou done thus, to carry away, without my knowledge, my daughters, as captives taken with the sword.\n27 Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?\n28 Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,\n29 It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.\n30 Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?\n31 Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.\n32 But whereas thou chargest me with theft: with whomsoever thou shalt find thy gods, let him be slain before our brethren. Search, and if thou find any of thy things with me, take them away. Now when he said this, he knew not that Rachel had stolen the idols.\n33 So Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and of Lia, and of both the handmaids, and found them not. And when he was entered into Rachel's tent,\n34 She in haste hid the idols under the camel's furniture, and sat upon them: and when he had searched all the tent, and found nothing,\n35 She said: Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee, because it has now happened to me, according to the custom of women, So his careful search was in vain.\n36 And Jacob being angry, said in a chiding manner: For what fault of mine, and for what offence on my part hast thou so hotly pursued me,\n37 And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.\n38 Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:\n39 Neither did I shew thee that which the beast had torn, I made good all the damage: whatsoever was lost by theft, thou didst exact it of me:\n40 Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.\n41 And in this manner have I served thee in thy house twenty years, fourteen for thy daughters, and six for thy flocks: thou hast changed also my wages ten times.\n42 Unless the God of my father Abraham, and the fear of Isaac had stood by me, peradventure now thou hadst sent me away naked: God beheld my affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesterday.\n43 Laban answered him: The daughters are mine and the children, and thy flocks, and all things that thou seest are mine: what can I do to my children, and grandchildren?\n44 Come therefore, let us enter into a league: that it may be for a testimony between me and thee.\n45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a title:\n46 And he said to his brethren: Bring hither stones. And they gathering stones together, made a heap, and they ate upon it.\n47 And Laban called it The witness heap: and Jacob, The hillock of testimony: each of them according to the propriety of his language.\n48 And Laban said: This heap shall be a witness between me and thee this day, and therefore the name thereof was called Galaad, that is, The witness heap.\n49 The Lord behold and judge between us when we shall be gone one from the other.\n50 If thou afflict my daughters, and if thou bring in other wives over them: none is witness of our speech but God, who is present and beholdeth.\n51 And he said again to Jacob: Behold, this heap, and the stone which I have set up between me and thee,\n52 Shall be a witness: this heap, I say, and the stone, be they for a testimony, if either I shall pass beyond it going towards thee, or thou shalt pass beyond it, thinking harm to me.\n**53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nachor, the God of their father, judge between us.

hundred and sixtieth year Alexander the son of Antiochus, surnamed the Illustrious, came up and took Ptolemais, and they received him, and he reigned there.\n2 And king Demetrius heard of it, and gathered together an exceeding great army, and went forth against him to fight.\n3 And Demetrius sent a letter to Jonathan with peaceable words, to magnify him.\n4 For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us.\n5 For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation.\n6 And he gave him authority to gather together an army, and to make arms, and that he should be his confederate: and the hostages that were in the castle, he commanded to be delivered to him.\n7 And Jonathan came to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people, and of them that were in the castle.\n8 And they were struck with great fear, because they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an army.\n9 And the hostages were delivered to Jonathan, and he restored them to their parents.\n10 And Jonathan dwelt in Jerusalem, and began to build, and to repair the city.\n11 And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did.\n12 And the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.\n13 And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:\n14 Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.\n15 And king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made Jonathan: and they told him of the battles, and the worthy acts that he, and his brethren had done, and the labours that they had endured.\n16 And he said: Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and our confederate.\n17 So he wrote a letter, and sent it to him according to these words, saying:\n18 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan, greeting.\n19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and fit to be our friend:\n20 Now therefore we make thee this day high priest of thy nation, and that thou be called the king's friend, (and he sent him a purple robe, and a crown of gold,) and that thou be of one mind with us in our affairs, and keep friendship with us.\n21 Then Jonathan put on the holy vestment in the seventh month, in the year one hundred and threescore, at the feast day of the tabernacles: and he gathered together an army, and made a great number of arms.\n22 And Demetrius heard these words, and was exceeding sorry, and said:\n23 What is this that we have done, that Alexander hath prevented us to gain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?\n24 I also will write to them words of request, and offer dignities, and gifts: that they may be with me to aid me.\n25 And he wrote to them in these words: King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n26 Whereas you have kept covenant with us, and have continued in our friendship, and have not joined with our enemies, we have heard of it, and are glad.\n27 Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf.\n28 And we will remit to you many charges, and will give you gifts.\n29 And now I free you, and all the Jews from tributes, and I release you from the customs of salt, and remit the crowns, and the thirds of the seed:\n30 And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for ever:\n31 And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself.\n32 I yield up also the power of the castle that is in Jerusalem, and I give it to the high priest, to place therein such men as he shall choose to keep it.\n33 And every soul of the Jews that hath been carried captive from the land of Juda in all my kingdom, I set at liberty freely, that all be discharged from tributes even of their cattle.\n34 And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom:\n35 And no man shall have power to do any thing against them, or to molest any of them, in any cause.\n36 And let there be enrolled in the king's army to the number of thirty thousand of the Jews: and allowance shall be made them as is due to all the king's forces, and certain of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king:\n37 And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, that are of trust, and let the governors be taken from among themselves, and let them walk in their own laws, as the king hath commanded in the land of Juda.\n38 And the three cities that are added to Judea, out of the country of Samaria, let them be accounted with Judea: that they may be under one, and obey no other authority but that of the high priest:\n39 Ptolemais, and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places, that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things.\n40 And I give every year fifteen thousand sicles of silver out of the king's accounts, of what belongs to me:\n41 And all that is above, which they that were over the affairs the years before, had not paid, from this time they shall give it to the works of the house.\n42 Moreover the five thousand sicles of silver which they received from the account of the holy places, every year, shall also belong to the priests that execute the ministry.\n43 And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.\n44 For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:\n45 For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.\n**46 Now when Jonathan, and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them nor received them: because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly.**\n47 And their inclinations were towards Alexander, because he had been the chief promoter of peace in their regard, and him they always helped.\n48 And king Alexander gathered together a great army, and moved his camp near to Demetrius.\n49 And the two kings joined battle, and the army of Demetrius fled away, and Alexander pursued after him, and pressed them close.\n50 And the battle was hard fought till the sun went down: and Demetrius was slain that day.\n51 And Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt, with words to this effect, saying:\n52 Forasmuch as I am returned into my kingdom, and am set in the throne of my ancestors and have gotten the dominion, and have overthrown Demetrius, and possessed our country,\n53 And have joined battle with him, and both he and his army have been destroyed by us, and we are placed in the throne of his kingdom:\n54 Now therefore let us make friendship one with another: and give me now thy daughter to wife, and I will be thy son in law, and I will give both thee and her gifts worthy of thee.\n55 And king Ptolemee answered, saying: Happy is the day wherein thou didst return to the land of thy fathers, and sattest in the throne of their kingdom.\n56 And now I will do to thee as thou hast written: but meet me at Ptolemais, that we may see one another, and I may give her to thee as thou hast said.\n57 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt, with Cleopatra his daughter, and he came to Ptolemais in the hundred and sixty-second year.\n58 And king Alexander met him, and he gave him his daughter Cleopatra: and he celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais, with great glory, after the manner of kings.\n59 And king Alexander wrote to Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.\n60 And he went honourably to Ptolemais, and he met there the two kings, and he gave them much silver, and gold, and presents: and he found favour in their sight.\n61 And some pestilent men of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him to accuse him: and the king gave no heed to them.\n62 And he commanded that Jonathan's garments should be taken off, and that he should be clothed with purple: and they did so. And the king made him sit by himself.\n63 And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.\n64 So when his accusers saw his glory proclaimed, and him clothed with purple, they all fled away.\n65 And the king magnified him, and enrolled him amongst his chief friends, and made him governor and partaker of his dominion.\n66 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with peace and joy.\n67 In the year one hundred and sixty-five Demetrius the son of Demetrius came from Crete into the land of his fathers.\n68 And king Alexander heard of it, and was much troubled, and returned to Antioch.\n69 And king Demetrius made Apollonius his general, who was governor of Celesyria: and he gathered together a great army, and came to Jamnia: and he sent to Jonathan the high priest,\n70 Saying: Thou alone standest against us, and I am laughed at, and reproached, because thou shewest thy power against us in the mountains.\n71 Now therefore if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war.\n72 Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land:\n73 And now how wilt thou be able to abide the horsemen, and so great an army in the plain, where there is no stone, nor rock, nor place to flee to?\n74 Now when Jonathan heard the words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind: and he chose ten thousand men, and went out of Jerusalem, and Simon his brother met him to help him.\n75 And they pitched their tents near Joppe, but they shut him out of the city: because a garrison of Apollonius was in Joppe, and he laid siege to it.\n76 And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.\n77 And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.\n78 And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.\n79 And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.\n80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.\n81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so their horses were fatigued.\n82 Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled.\n83 And they that were scattered about the plain, fled into Azotus, and went into Bethdagon their idol's temple, there to save themselves.\n84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus, and the cities that were around it, and took the spoils of them, and the temple of Dagon: and all them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire.\n85 So they that were slain by the sword, with them that were burnt, were almost eight thousand men.\n86 And Jonathan removed his army from thence, and camped against Ascalon: and they went out of the city to meet him with great honour.\n87 And Jonathan returned into Jerusalem with his people, having many spoils.\n88 And it came to pass: When Alexander the king heard these words, that he honoured Jonathan yet more.\n89 And he sent him a buckle of gold, as the custom is, to be given to such as are of the royal blood.

But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.\n3 And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John's baptism.\n4 Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.\n5 Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.\n6 And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.\n7 And all the men were about twelve.\n8 And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.\n9 But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.\n10 And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.\n**11 And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.**\n12 So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.\n13 Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.\n14 And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.\n15 But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?\n16 And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.\n17 And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.\n18 And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.\n19 And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.\n20 So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.\n21 And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.\n22 And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.\n23 Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.\n24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;\n25 Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;\n26 And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.\n27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.\n28 Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n29 And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.\n30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.\n31 And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.\n32 Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.\n33 And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.\n34 But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.\n35 And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter's offspring.\n36 For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.\n37 For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.\n38 But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.\n39 And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.\n40 For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse.

What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?\n10 And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.\n11 And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.\n12 And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.\n13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.\n14 Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.\n15 Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.\n16 Which when Paul's sister's son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.\n17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.\n18 And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.\n19 And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?\n20 And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul to morrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.\n21 But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.\n22 The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.\n23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:\n**24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.**\n25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:\n26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.\n27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:\n28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.\n29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.\n30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.\n31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.\n32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.\n33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.\n34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;\n35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come.

was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord his God, as David his father.\n3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire according to the idols of the nations: which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.\n4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills, and under every green tree.\n5 Then Basin king of Syria, and Phacee son of Romelia king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to fight: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to overcome him.\n**6 At that time Rasin king of Syria restored Aila to Syria, and drove the men of Juda out of Aila: and the Edomites came into Aila, and dwelt there unto this day.**\n7 And Achaz sent messengers to Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, saying: I am thy servant, and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up together against me.\n8 And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king's treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians.\n9 And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene, but Basin he slew.\n10 And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, and when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias the priest a pattern of it, and its likeness according to all the work thereof.\n11 And Urias the priest built an altar according to all that king Achaz had commanded from Damascus, so did Urias the priest, until king Achaz came from Damascus.\n12 And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice.\n13 And offered libations and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered upon the altar.\n14 But the altar of brass that was before the Lord, he removed from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord: and he set it at the side of the altar toward the north.\n15 And king Achaz commanded Urias the priest saying: Upon the great altar offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the king's holocaust, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the whole people of the land, and their sacrifices, and their libations: and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim thou shalt pour out upon it: but the altar of brass shall be ready at my pleasure.\n16 So Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz had commanded him.\n17 And king Achaz took away the graven bases, and the laver that was upon them: and he took down the sea from the brazen oxen that held it up, and put it upon a pavement of stone.\n18 The Musach also for the sabbath, which he had built in the temple: and the king's entry from without he turned into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.\n19 Now the rest of the acts of Achaz, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n20 And Achaz slept with his fathers,

They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there:\n3 And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?\n4 He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.\n5 Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect.\n6 He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.\n7 So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.\n8 And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:\n9 Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.\n10 We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth.\n11 There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,\n12 And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.\n13 From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,\n14 The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.\n15 And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.\n16 And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.\n17 But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.\n18 So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?\n**19 And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?**\n20 When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.\n21 And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,\n22 And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,\n23 And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?\n24 And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee?\n25 And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.\n26 And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.\n27 And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,\n28 There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.\n29 Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.\n30 And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.\n31 And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo.

And when they were come to the house of Michas,\n14 The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.\n15 And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.\n16 And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.\n17 But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.\n18 So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?\n19 And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?\n20 When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.\n21 And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,\n**22 And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,**\n23 And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?\n24 And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee?\n25 And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.\n26 And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.\n27 And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,\n28 There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.\n29 Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.\n30 And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.\n31 And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo.

And they murmured against her.\n6 But Jesus said: Let her alone, why do you molest her? She hath wrought a good work upon me.\n7 For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, you may do them good: but me you have not always.\n8 She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my body for burial.\n9 Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, that also which she hath done, shall be told for a memorial of her.\n10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, to betray him to them.\n11 Who hearing it were glad; and they promised him they would give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.\n12 Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that we go, and prepare for thee to eat the pasch?\n13 And he sendeth two of his disciples, and saith to them: Go ye into the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water, follow him;\n14 And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with my disciples?\n15 And he will shew you a large dining room furnished; and there prepare ye for us.\n16 And his disciples went their way, and came into the city; and they found as he had told them, and they prepared the pasch.\n17 And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.\n18 And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me.\n19 But they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one: Is it I?\n20 Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his hand in the dish.\n21 And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better for him, if that man had not been born.\n22 And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, broke, and gave to them, and said: Take ye. This is my body.\n23 And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.\n24 And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which shall be shed for many.\n25 Amen I say to you, that I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God.\n26 And when they had said an hymn, they went forth to the mount of Olives.\n27 And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be dispersed.\n28 But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.\n29 But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in thee, yet not I.\n30 And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice.\n31 But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.\n32 And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray.\n33 And he taketh Peter and James and John with him; and he began to fear and to be heavy.\n34 And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death; stay you here, and watch.\n35 And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground; and he prayed, that if it might be, the hour might pass from him.\n36 And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.\n37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? couldst thou not watch one hour?\n38 Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.\n39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.\n40 And when he returned, he found them again asleep, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they knew not what to answer him.\n41 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them: Sleep ye now, and take your rest. It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.\n42 Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.\n43 And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.\n44 And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.\n45 And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.\n46 But they laid hands on him, and held him.\n47 And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.\n48 And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?\n49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.\n50 Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.\n51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.\n52 But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.\n53 And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.\n54 And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.\n55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.\n56 For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.\n57 And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:\n58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.\n59 And their witness did not agree.\n60 And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?\n**61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?**\n62 And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.\n63 Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?\n64 You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.\n65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.\n66 Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.\n67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.\n68 But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.\n69 And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.\n70 But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.\n71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.\n72 And immediately the cock crew again.

his kingdom.\n12 And he took away his daughter, and gave her to Demetrius, and alienated himself from Alexander, and his enmities were made manifest.\n13 And Ptolemee entered into Antioch, and set two crowns upon his head, that of Egypt, and that of Asia.\n14 Now king Alexander was in Cilicia at that time: because they that were in those places had rebelled.\n15 And when Alexander heard of it, he came to give him battle, and king Ptolemee brought forth his army, and met him with a strong power, and put him to flight.\n16 And Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be protected: and king Ptolemee

Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it.\n21 Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.\n22 And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan, that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him.\n23 But when

borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees.\n35 And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from

his fathers hated him.\n39 Now there was one Tryphon who had been of Alexander's party before: who seeing that all the army murmured against Demetrius, went to Emalchuel the Arabian, who brought up Antiochus the son of Alexander.\n40 And he pressed him much to deliver him to him, that he might be king in his father's place: and he told him all that Demetrius had done, and how his soldiers hated him. And he remained there many days.\n41 And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.\n42 And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.\n43 Now therefore thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me.\n44 And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.\n45 And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.\n46 And the king fled into the palace, and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.\n47 And the king called the Jews to his assistance: and they came to him all at once, and they all dispersed themselves through the city.\n48 And they slew in that day a hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.\n49 And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:\n50 Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us, and the city.\n51 And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.\n52 So king Demetrius sat in the throne of his kingdom: and the land was quiet before him.\n53 And he falsified all whatsoever he had said, and alienated himself from Jonathan, and did not reward him according to the benefits he had received from him, but gave him great trouble.\n54 And after this Tryphon returned, and with him Antiochus the young boy, who was made king, and put on the diadem.\n55 And there assembled unto him all the hands which Demetrius had sent away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.\n56 And Tryphon took the elephants, and made himself master of Antioch.\n57 And young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan, saying: I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and I appoint thee ruler over the four cities, and to be one of the king's friends.\n58 And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle:\n59 And he made his brother Simon governor from the borders of Tyre even to the confines of Egypt.\n60 Then Jonathan went forth and passed through the cities beyond the river: and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves to him to help him, and he came to Ascalon, and they met him honourably out of the city.\n61 And he went from thence to Gaza: and they that were in Gaza shut him out: and he besieged it, and burnt all the suburbs round about, and took the spoils.\n62 And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country as far as Damascus.\n63 And Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come treacherously to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great army, purposing to remove him from the affairs of the kingdom:\n64 And he went against them: but left his brother Simon in the country.\n65 And Simon encamped against Bethsura, and assaulted it many days, and shut them up.\n66 And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it.\n67 And Jonathan, and his army encamped by the water of Genesar, and before it was light they were ready in the plain of Asor.\n68 And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them.\n69 And they that lay in ambush arose out of their places, and joined battle.\n70 And all that were on Jonathan's side fled, and none was left of them, but Mathathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, chief captain of the army.\n71 And Jonathan rent his garments, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.\n72 And Jonathan turned again to them to battle, and he put them to flight, and they fought.\n73 And they of his part that fled saw this, and they turned again to him, and they all with him pursued the enemies even to Cades to their own camp, and they came even thither.\n74 And there fell of the aliens in that day three thousand men: and Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.\n",

they went to Rome, and entered into the senate house, and said: Jonathan the high priest, and the nation of the Jews have sent us to renew the amity, and alliance as it was before.\n4 And they gave

from Arius who reigned then among you, to signify that you are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.\n8 And Onias received the ambassador with honour: and received the letters wherein there was mention made of the alliance, and amity.\n9 We, though we needed none of these things, having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands,\n10 Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us.\n11 We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our festivals, and other days, wherein it is convenient, remember you in the sacrifices that we offer, and in our observances, as it is meet, and becoming to remember brethren.\n12 And we rejoice at

this is come to our knowledge, you do well to write to us of your prosperity.\n23 And we also have written back to you: That our cattle, and our possessions are yours: and yours, ours. We therefore have commanded that these things should be told you.\n24 Now Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius were come again with a greater army than before to fight against him.\n25 So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country.\n26 And he sent spies into their camp, and they came back and brought him word that they designed to come upon them in the night.\n27 And when the sun was set, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms all night long ready to fight, and he set sentinels round about the camp.\n28 And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, and they were struck with fear, and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp.\n29 But Jonathan and they that were with him knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.\n30 And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus.\n31 And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them.\n32 And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country.\n33 Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it,\n34 (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius,) and he put a garrison there to keep it.\n**35 And Jonathan came back, and called together the ancients of the people, and he took a resolution with them to build fortresses in Judea,**\n36 And to build up walls in Jerusalem, and raise a mount between the castle and the city, to separate it from the city, that so it might have no communication, and that they might neither buy nor sell.\n37 And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook towards the east was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha:\n38 And Simon built Adiada in Sephela, and fortified it, and set up gates and bars.\n39 Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia, and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus:\n40 Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan.\n41 And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan.\n42 Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him,\n43 But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself.\n44 And he said to Jonathan: Why hast thou troubled all the people, whereas we have no war?\n45 Now therefore send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming.\n46 And Jonathan believed him, and did as he said: and sent away his army, and they departed into the land of Juda:\n47 But he kept with him three thousand men: of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.\n48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates of the city, and took him: and all them that came in with him they slew with the sword.\n49 Then Tryphon sent an army and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain to destroy all Jonathan's company.\n50 But they, when they understood that Jonathan and all that were with him were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle.\n51 Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back.\n52 Whereupon they all came peaceably into the land of Juda. And they bewailed Jonathan, and them that had been with him, exceedingly: and Israel mourned with great lamentation.\n53 Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them.

And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.\n9 And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.\n10 And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.\n11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.\n12 And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.\n13 And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.\n14 And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.\n15 But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.\n16 And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter.\n17 And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them.\n18 And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them.\n19 And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God.\n20 And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and hast sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small?\n21 Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire.\n22 And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.\n23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God)\n24 That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.\n25 At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.\n26 And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me.\n27 Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.\n28 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented.\n29 Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast thou satisfied.\n30 Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute?\n31 Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,\n32 But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband.\n33 Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast

blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.\n39 And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.\n40 And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.\n41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.\n42 And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.\n43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.\n44 Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.\n45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.\n46 And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters.\n47 But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.\n48 As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.\n49 Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor.\n50 And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.\n51 And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.\n52 Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.\n53 And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.\n54 That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.\n55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.\n56 And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth,

breaking the covenant:\n60 And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.\n**61 And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.**\n62 And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou

And he said to him: Thy prayers and thy alms are ascended for a memorial in the sight of God.\n5 And now send men to Joppe, and call hither one Simon, who is surnamed Peter:\n6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side. He will tell thee what thou must do.\n7 And when the angel who spoke to him was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a soldier who feared the Lord, of them that were under him.\n8 To whom when he had related all, he sent them to Joppe.\n9 And on the next day, whilst they were going on their journey, and drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up to the higher parts of the house to pray, about the sixth hour.\n10 And being hungry, he was desirous to taste somewhat. And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.\n11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:\n12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.\n13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.\n14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.\n15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.\n16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.\n17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.\n18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.\n19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.\n**20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.**\n21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?\n22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.\n23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.\n24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, having called together his kinsmen and special friends.\n25 And it came to pass, that when Peter was come in, Cornelius came to meet him, and falling at his feet adored.\n26 But Peter lifted him up, saying: Arise, I myself also am a man.\n27 And talking with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.\n28 And he said to them: You know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew, to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean.\n29 For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me?\n30 And Cornelius said: Four days ago, unto this hour, I was praying in my house, at the ninth hour, and behold a man stood before me in white apparel, and said:\n31 Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thy alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.\n32 Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.\n33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee: and thou hast done well in coming. Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.\n34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.\n35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.\n36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)\n37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,\n38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.\n39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.\n40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,\n41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;\n42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.\n43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.\n44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.\n45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.\n46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.\n47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?\n48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

For as a vessel that a man uses when it is broken becometh useless, even so are their gods:\n16 When they are placed in the house, their eyes are full of dust by the feet of them that go in.\n17 And as the gates are made sure on every side upon one that hath offended the king, or like a dead man carried to the grave, so do the priests secure the doors with bars and locks, lest they be stripped by thieves.\n18 They light candles to them, and in great number, of which they cannot see one: but they are like beams in the house.\n19 And they say that the creeping things which are of the earth, gnaw their hearts, while they eat them and their garments, and they feel it not.\n20 Their faces are black with the smoke that is made in the house.\n**21 Owls, and swallows, and other birds fly upon their bodies, and upon their heads, and cats in like manner.**\n22 Whereby you may know that they are no gods.

Be they confounded also that worship them.\n26 Therefore if they fall to the ground, they rise not up again of themselves, nor if a man set them upright, will they stand by themselves, but their gifts shall be set before them, as to the dead.\n27 The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor.\n28 The childbearing and menstruous women touch their sacrifices: knowing therefore by these things that they are not gods, fear them not.\n29 For how can they be called gods? because women set offerings before the gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood:\n30 And priests sit in their temples, having their garments rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.\n31 And they roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.\n32 The priests take away their garments, and clothe their wives and their children.\n33 And whether it be evil that one doth unto them, or good, they are not able to recompense it: neither can they set up a king nor put him down:\n34 In like manner they can neither give riches, nor requite evil. If a man make a vow to them, and perform it not, they cannot require it.\n35 They cannot deliver a man from death nor save the weak from the mighty.\n36 They cannot restore the blind man to his sight: nor deliver a man from distress.\n37 They shall not pity the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.\n38 Their gods, of wood, and of stone, and of gold, and of silver, are like the stones that are hewn out of the mountains: and they that worship them shall be confounded.\n39 How then is it to be supposed, or to be said, that they are gods?\n40 Even the Chaldeans themselves dishonour them: who when they hear of one dumb that cannot speak, they present him to Bel, entreating him, that he may speak,\n41 As though they could be sensible that have no motion themselves: and they, when they shall perceive this, will leave them: for their gods themselves have no sense.\n42 The women also with cords about them, sit in the ways, burning olive stones.\n43 And when any one of them, drawn away by some passenger, lieth with him, she upbraideth her neighbour, that she was not thought as worthy as herself, nor her cord broken.\n44 But all things that are done about them, are false: how is it then to be thought, or to be said, that they are gods?\n45 And they are made by workmen, and by goldsmiths. They shall be nothing else but what the priests will have them to be.\n46 For the artificers themselves that make them, are of no long continuance. Can those things then that are made by them be gods?\n47 But they have left false things and reproach to them that come after.\n48 For when war cometh upon them, or evils, the priests consult with themselves where they may hide themselves with them.\n49 How then can they be thought to be gods, that can neither deliver themselves from war, nor save themselves from evils?\n50 For seeing they are but of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, it shall be known hereafter that they are false things, by all nations and kings: and it shall be manifest that they are no gods, but the work of men's hands, and that there is no work of God in them.\n51 Whence therefore is it known that they are not gods, but the work of men's hands, and no work of God is in them?\n52 They cannot set up a king over the land, nor give rain to men.\n53 They determine no causes, nor deliver countries from oppression; because they can do nothing, and are as daws between heaven and earth.\n54 For when fire shall fall upon the house of these gods of wood, and of silver, and of gold, their priests indeed will flee away, and be saved: but they themselves shall be burnt in the midst like beams.\n55 And they cannot withstand a king and war. How then can it be supposed, or admitted that they are gods?\n56 Neither are these gods of wood, and of stone, and laid over with gold, and with silver, able to deliver themselves from thieves or robbers: they that are stronger than them\n57 Shall take from them the gold, and silver, and the raiment wherewith they are clothed, and shall go their way, neither shall they help themselves.\n58 Therefore it is better to be a king that sheweth his power: or else a profitable vessel in the house, with which the owner thereof will be well satisfied: or a door in the house, to keep things safe that are therein, than such false gods.\n59 The sun, and the moon, and the stars being bright, and sent forth for profitable uses, are obedient.\n60 In like manner the lightning, when it breaketh forth, is easy to be seen: and after the same manner the wind bloweth in every country.\n61 And the clouds when God commandeth them to go over the whole world, do that which is commanded them.\n62 The fire also being sent from above to consume mountains and woods, doth as it is commanded. But these neither in shew, nor in power are like to any one of them.\n63 Wherefore it is neither to be thought, nor to be said, that they are gods: since they are neither able to judge causes, nor to do any good to men.\n64 Knowing therefore that they are not gods, fear them not.\n65 For neither can they curse kings, nor bless them.\n66 Neither do they shew signs in the heaven to the nations, nor shine as the sun, nor give light as the moon.\n67 Beasts are better than they, which can fly under a covert, and help themselves.\n68 Therefore there is no manner of appearance that they are gods: so fear them not.\n69 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing, so are their gods of wood, and of silver, and laid over with gold.\n70 They are no better than a white thorn in a garden, upon which every bird sitteth. In like manner also their gods of wood, and laid over with gold, and with silver, are like to a dead body cast forth in the dark.\n71 By the purple also and the scarlet which are motheaten upon them, you shall know that they are not gods. And they themselves at last are consumed, and shall be a reproach in the country.\n72 Better therefore is the just man that hath no idols: for he shall be far from reproach.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "\"And you shall remember your wicked ways, and your doings that were not good: and your iniquities, and your wicked deeds shall displease you.\" is written in Ezekiel 36:31, within the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Verse 16 from chapter 10 in Ezra?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Quoting from Ezra 10:16, Old Testament (Douay Rheims):\n\"And the children of the captivity did so.

And the flame of the fire slew those men that had cast in Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago.\n23 But these three men, that is, Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, fell down bound in the midst of the furnace of burning fire.\n24 And they walked in the midst of the flame, praising God and blessing the Lord.\n25 Then Azarias standing up prayed in this manner, and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire, he said:\n26 Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of our fathers, and thy name is worthy of praise, and glorious for ever:\n27 For thou art just in all that thou hast done to us, and all thy works are true, and thy ways right, and all thy judgments true.\n28 For thou hast executed true judgments in all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon Jerusalem the holy city of our fathers: for according to truth and judgment, thou hast brought all these things upon us for our sins.\n29 For we have sinned, and committed iniquity, departing from thee: and we have trespassed in all things:\n30 And we have not hearkened to thy commandments, nor have we observed nor done as thou hadst commanded us, that it might go well with us.\n31 Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment:\n32 And thou hast delivered us into the hands of our enemies that are unjust, and most wicked, and prevaricators, and to a king unjust, and most wicked beyond all that are upon the earth.\n33 And now we cannot open our mouths: we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants, and to them that worship thee.\n34 Deliver us not up for ever, we beseech thee, for thy name's sake, and abolish not thy covenant.\n**35 And take not away thy mercy from us for the sake of Abraham thy beloved, and Isaac thy servant, and Israel thy holy one:**\n36 To whom thou hast spoken, promising that thou wouldst multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea shore.\n37 For we, O Lord, are diminished more than any nation, and are brought low in all the earth this day for our sins.\n38 Neither is there at this time prince, or leader, or prophet, or holocaust, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place of firstfruits before thee,\n39 That we may find thy mercy: nevertheless in a contrite heart and humble spirit let us be accepted.\n40 As in holocausts of rams, and bullocks, and as in thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be made in thy sight this day, that it may please thee: for there is no confusion to them that trust in thee.\n41 And now we follow thee with all our heart, and we fear thee, and seek thy face.\n42 Put us not to confusion, but deal. with us according to thy meekness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.\n43 And deliver us according to thy wonderful works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord:\n44 And let all them be confounded that shew evils to thy servants, let them be confounded in all thy might, and let their strength be broken.\n45 And let them know that thou art the Lord, the only God, and glorious over all the world.\n46 Now the king's servants that had cast them in, ceased not to heat the furnace with brimstone, and tow, and pitch, and dry sticks,\n47 And the flame mounted up above the furnace nine and forty cubits:\n48 And it broke forth, and burnt such of the Chaldeans as it found near the furnace.\n49 But the angel of the Lord went down with Azarias and his companions into the furnace: and he drove the flame of the fire out of the furnace,\n50 And made the midst of the furnace like the blowing of a wind bringing dew, and the fire touched them not at all, nor troubled them, nor did them any harm.\n51 Then these three as with one mouth praised, and glorified, and blessed God in the furnace, saying:\n52 Blessed art thou, O Lord the God of our fathers: and worthy to be praised, and glorified, and exalted above all for ever: and blessed is the holy name of thy glory: and worthy to be praised, and exalted above all in all ages.\n53 Blessed art thou in the holy temple of thy glory: and exceedingly to be praised, and exceeding glorious for ever.\n54 Blessed art thou on the throne of thy kingdom, and exceedingly to be praised, and exalted above all for ever.\n55 Blessed art thou, that beholdest the depths, and sittest upon the cherubims: and worthy to be praised and exalted above all for ever.\n56 Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: and worthy of praise, and glorious for ever.\n57 All ye works of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n58 O ye angels of the Lord, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n59 O ye heavens, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.\n60 O all ye waters that are above the heavens, bless the Lord;

They answered the king, and said: True, O king.\n92 He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.\n93 Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out from the midst of the fire.\n94 And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.\n95 Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore any god, except their own God.\n96 By me therefore this decree is made, that every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner.\n97 Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.\n98 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.\n99 The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me.

Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.\n2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.\n3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,\n4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.\n5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:\n6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.\n7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.\n8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.\n9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,\n10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.\n11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.\n12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:\n13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.\n14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.\n15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.\n16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,\n17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,\n18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.\n19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.\n20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.\n21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.\n**22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them.

For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant.\n3 Therefore Adonisedec king of Jerusalem sent to Oham king of Hebron, and to Pharam king of Jerimoth, and to Japhia king of Lachis, and to Dabir king of Eglon, saying:\n4 Come up to me, and bring help, that we may take Gabaon, because it hath gone over to Josue, and to the children of Israel.\n5 So the five kings of the Amorrhites being assembled together went up: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon, they and their armies, and camped about Gabaon, laying siege to it.\n6 But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us.\n7 And Josue went up from Galgal, and all the army of the warriors with him, most valiant men.\n8 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee.\n9 So Josue going up from Galgal all the night, came upon them suddenly.\n10 And the Lord troubled them at the sight of Israel: and he slew them with a great slaughter in Gabaon, and pursued them by the way of the ascent to Beth-horon, and cut them off all the way to Azeca and Maceda.\n11 And when they were fleeing from the children of Israel, and were in the descent of Beth-horon, the Lord cast down upon them great stones from heaven as far as Azeca: and many more were killed with the hailstones than were slain by the swords of the children of Israel.\n12 Then Josue spoke to the Lord, in the day that he delivered the Amorrhite in the sight of the children of Israel, and he said before them: Move not, O sun, toward Gabaon, nor thou, O moon, toward the valley of Ajalon.\n13 And the sun and the moon stood still, till the people revenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of the just? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down the space of one day.\n14 There was not before nor after so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel.\n15 And Josue returned with all Israel into the camp of Galgal.\n16 For the five kings were fled, and had hidden themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda.\n17 And it was told Josue that the five kings were found hidden in a cave of the city of Maceda.\n18 And he commanded them that were with him, saying: Roll great stones to the mouth of the cave, and set careful men, to keep them shut up:\n19 And stay you not, but pursue after the enemies, and kill all the hindermost of them as they flee, and do not suffer them whom the Lord God hath delivered into your hands to shelter themselves in their cities.\n20 So the enemies being slain with a great slaughter, and almost utterly consumed, they that were able to escape from Israel, entered into fenced cities.\n21 And all the army returned to Josue in Maceda, where the camp then was, in good health and without the loss of any one: and no man durst move his tongue against the children of Israel.\n22 And Josue gave orders, saying: Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth to me the five kings that lie hid therein.\n23 And the ministers did as they were commanded: and they brought out to him the five kings out of the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jerimoth, the king of Lachis, the king of Eglon.\n24 And when they were Drought out to him, he called all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the army that were with him: Go, and set your feet on the necks of these kings. And when they had gone, and put their feet upon the necks of them lying under them,\n25 He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight.\n26 And Josue struck, and slew them, and hanged them upon five gibbets, and they hung until the evening.\n27 And when the sun was down, he commanded the soldiers to take them down from the gibbets. And after they were taken down, they cast them into the cave where they had lain hid, and put great stones at the mouth thereof, which remain until this day.\n28 The same day Josue took Maceda and destroyed it, with the edge of the sword, and killed the king and all the inhabitants thereof: he left not in it the least remains. And he did to the king of Maceda, as he had done to the king of Jericho.\n29 And he passed from Maceda with all Israel to Lebna, and fought against it:\n30 And the Lord delivered it with the king thereof into the hands of Israel: and they destroyed the city with the edge of the sword, and all the inhabitants thereof.

when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.\n2 And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.\n3 In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem:\n4 And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen.\n5 Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him:\n6 And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.\n7 And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.\n8 Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.\n9 But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few.\n10 Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory.\n11 And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.\n12 And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:\n13 And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.\n14 And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:\n15 And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.\n16 And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:\n17 And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.\n18 And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.\n19 And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.\n20 And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.\n21 And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!\n22 But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.\n23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.\n24 In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.\n25 And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country:\n26 And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them.\n27 And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.\n28 And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:\n29 Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.\n30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.\n31 So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.\n32 And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him.\n33 And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,\n34 And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.\n35 And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.\n36 And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.\n37 After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.\n38 And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain.\n**39 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.**\n40 And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils:\n41 And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.\n42 And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.\n43 And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.\n44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.\n45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.\n46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your

Choose out a man of you, and let him come down and fight hand to hand.\n9 If he be able to fight with me, and kill me, we will be servants to you: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, you shall be servants, and shall serve us.\n10 And the Philistine said: I have defied the bands of Israel this day: Give me a man, and let him fight with me hand to hand.\n11 And Saul and all the Israelites hearing these words of the Philistine were dismayed, and greatly afraid.\n12 Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Juda before mentioned, whose name was Isai, who had eight sons, and was an old man in the days of Saul, and of great age among men.\n13 And his three eldest sons followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle, were Eliab the firstborn, and the second Abinadab, and the third Samma.\n14 But David was the youngest. So the three eldest having followed Saul,\n15 David went, and returned from Saul, to feed his father's flock at Bethlehem.\n16 Now the Philistine came out morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.\n17 And Isai said to David his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.\n18 And carry these ten little cheeses to the tribune: and go see thy brethren, if they are well: and learn with whom they are placed.\n19 But Saul, and they, and all the children of Israel were in the valley of Terebinth fighting against the Philistines.\n20 David therefore arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle.\n21 For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared.\n22 And David leaving the vessels which he had brought, under the care of the keeper of the baggage, ran to the place of the battle and asked if all things went well with his brethren.\n23 And as he talked with them, that baseborn man whose name was Goliath, the Philistine, of Geth, shewed himself coming up from the camp of the Philistines: and he spoke according to the same words, and David heard them.\n24 And all the Israelites when they saw the man, fled from his face, fearing him exceedingly.\n**25 And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel.**\n26 And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?\n27 And the people answered him the same words saying: These things shall be given to the man that shall slay him.\n28 Now when Eliab his eldest brother heard this, when he was speaking with others, he was angry with David, and said: Why earnest thou hither? and why didst thou leave those few sheep in the desert? I know thy pride, and the wickedness of thy heart: that thou art come down to see the battle.\n29 And David said: What have I done? is there not cause to speak?\n30 And he turned a little aside from him to another: and said the same word. And the people answered him as before.\n31 And the words which David spoke were heard, and were rehearsed before Saul.\n32 And when he was brought to him, he said to him: Let not any man's heart be dismayed in him: I thy servant will go, and will fight against the Philistine.\n33 And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth.\n34 And David said to Saul: Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, or a bear, and took a ram out of the midst of the flock:\n35 And I pursued after them, and struck them, and delivered it out of their mouth: and they rose up against me, and I caught them by the throat, and I strangled and killed them.\n36 For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them.

And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off,\n40 And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine.\n41 And the Philistine came on, and drew nigh against David, and his armourbearer before him.\n42 And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance.\n43 And the Philistine said to David: Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with a staff? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.\n44 And he said to David: Come to me, and I will give thy flesh to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth.\n45 And David said to the Philistine: Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, which thou hast defied.\n46 This day, and the Lord will deliver thee into my hand, and I will slay thee, and take away thy head from thee: and I will give the carcasses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air, and to the beasts of the earth: that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.\n47 And all this assembly shall know, that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands.\n48 And when the Philistine arose and was coming, and drew nigh to meet David, David made haste, and ran to the fight to meet the Philistine.\n49 And he put his hand into his scrip, and took a stone, and cast it with the sling, and fetching it about struck the Philistine in the forehead: and the stone was fixed in his forehead, and he fell on his face upon the earth.\n50 And David prevailed over the Philistine, with a sling and a stone, and he struck, and slew the Philistine. And as David had no sword in his hand,\n51 He ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath, and slew him, and cut off his head. And the Philistines seeing that their champion was dead, fled away.\n52 And the men of Israel and Juda rising up shouted, and pursued after the Philistines till they came to the valley and to the gates of Accaron, and there fell many wounded of the Philistines in the way of Saraim, and as far as Geth, and as far as Accaron.\n53 And the children of Israel returning, after they had pursued the Philistines, fell upon their camp.\n54 And David taking the head of the Philistine brought it to Jerusalem: but his armour he put in his tent.\n55 Now at the time that Saul saw David going out against the Philistines, he said to Abner the captain of the army: Of what family is this young man descended, Abner? And Abner said: As thy soul liveth, O king, I know not.\n56 And the king said: Inquire thou, whose son this man is.\n57 And when David was returned, after the Philistine was slain, Abner took him, and brought him in before Saul, with the head of the Philistine in his hand.\n58 And Saul said to him: Young man, of what family art thou?

Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba.\n5 And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,\n6 Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses.\n7 And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted.\n8 Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her.\n9 Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted.\n10 They discovered her disgrace, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and they became infamous women, and they executed judgments in her.\n11 And when her sister Ooliba saw this, she was mad with lust more than she: and she carried her fornication beyond the fornication of her sister.\n12 Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty.\n13 And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way.\n14 And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours,\n15 And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born,\n16 She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea.\n17 And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them.\n18 And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.\n19 For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.\n20 And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.\n21 And thou hast renewed the wickedness of thy youth, when thy breasts were pressed in Egypt, and the paps of thy virginity broken.\n22 Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will raise up against thee all thy lovers with whom thy soul hath been glutted: and I will gather them together against thee round about.\n23 The children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, the nobles, and the kings, and princes, all the sons of the Assyrians, beautiful young men, all the captains, and rulers, the princes of princes, and the renowned horsemen.\n24 And they shall come upon thee well appointed with chariot and wheel, a multitude of people: they shall be armed against thee on every side with breastplate, and buckler, and helmet: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee by their judgments.\n25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, which they shall execute upon thee with fury: they shall cut off thy nose and thy ears: and what remains shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons, and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by fire.\n26 And they shall strip thee of thy garments, and take away the instruments of thy glory.\n27 And I will put an end to thy wickedness in thee, and thy fornication brought out of the land of Egypt: neither shalt thou lift up thy eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.\n28 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted.\n29 And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and they shall take away all thy labours, and shall let thee go naked, and full of disgrace, and the disgrace of thy fornication shall be discovered, thy wickedness, and thy fornications.\n30 They have done these things to thee, because thou hast played the harlot with the nations among which thou wast defiled with their idols.\n31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, and I will give her cup into thy hand.\n32 Thus saith the Lord God: Thou shalt drink thy sister's cup, deep, and wide: thou shalt be had in derision and scorn, which containeth very much.\n33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness, and sorrow: with the cup of grief, and sadness, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.\n34 And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs, and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.\n35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness, and thy fornications.\n36 And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge Oolla, and Ooliba, and dost thou declare to them their wicked deeds?\n37 Because they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and they have committed fornication with their idols: moreover also their children, whom they bore to me, they have offered to them to be devoured.\n38 Yea, and they have done this to me.

Who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth the flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?\n8 Speak I these things according to man?

Doth God take care for oxen?\n10 Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope; and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit.\n11 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we reap your carnal things?\n12 If others be partakers of this power over you, why not we rather?

not brought again, neither have you sought that which was lost: but you ruled over them with rigour, and with a high hand.\n5 And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd: and they became the prey of all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.\n6 My sheep have wandered in every mountain, and in every high hill: and my flocks were scattered upon the face of the earth, and there was none that sought them, there was none, I say, that sought them.\n7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:\n8 As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks:\n9 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord:\n10 Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them.\n11 For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them.\n12 As the shepherd visiteth his flock in the day when he shall be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.\n13 And I will bring them out from the peoples, and will gather them out of the countries, and will bring them to their own land: and I will feed them in the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the habitations of the land.\n14 I will feed them in the most fruitful pastures, and their pastures shall be in the high mountains of Israel: there shall they rest on the green grass, and be fed in fat pastures upon the mountains of Israel.\n15 I will feed my sheep: and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord God.\n16 I will seek that which was lost: and that which was driven away, I will bring again: and I will bind up that which was broken, and I will strengthen that which was weak, and that which was fat and strong I will preserve: and I will feed them in judgment.\n17 And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats.\n18 Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the clearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet.\n19 And my sheep were fed with that which you had trodden with your feet: and they drank what your feet had troubled.\n20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself will judge between the fat cattle and the lean.\n**21 Because you thrusted with sides and shoulders, and struck all the weak cattle with your horns, till they were scattered abroad:**\n22 I will save my flock, and it shall be no more a spoil, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.\n23 AND I WILL SET UP ONE SHEPHERD OVER THEM, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.\n24 And I the Lord will be their God: and my servant David the prince in the midst of them: I the Lord have spoken it.\n25 And I will make a covenant of peace with them, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they that dwell in the wilderness shall sleep secure in the forests.\n26 And I will make them a blessing round about my hill: and I will send down the rain in its season, there shall be showers of blessing.\n27 And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be in their land without fear: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have broken the bonds of their yoke, and shall have delivered them out of the hand of those that rule over them.\n28 And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without any terror.\n29 And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles.\n30 And they shall know that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they are my people the house of Israel: saith the Lord God.\n31 And you my flocks, the flocks of my pasture are men: and I am the Lord your God, saith the Lord God.\n", "role":

Maccabees Chapter 13*\n1 Now Simon heard that Tryphon was gathering together a very great army, to invade the land of Juda, and to destroy it.\n2 And seeing that the people was in dread, and in fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and assembled the people:\n3 And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen:\n4 By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.\n5 And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren.\n6 I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice.\n7 And the spirit of the people was enkindled as soon as they heard these words.\n8 And they answered with a loud voice, saying: Thou art our leader in the place of Judas, and Jonathan thy brother.\n9 Fight thou our battles, and we will do whatsoever thou shalt say to us.\n10 So gathering together all the men of war, he made haste to finish all the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.\n11 And he sent Jonathan the son of Absalom, and with him a new army into Joppe, and he cast out them that were in it, and himself remained there.\n12 And Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great army, to invade the land of Juda, and Jonathan was with him in custody.\n13 But Simon pitched in Addus, over against the plain.\n14 And when Tryphon understood that Simon was risen up in the place of his brother Jonathan, and that he meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers to him,\n15 Saying: We have detained thy brother Jonathan for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of.\n16 But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him.\n17 Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:\n18 Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.\n19 So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.\n20 And after this Tryphon entered within the country, to destroy it: and they went about by the way that leadeth to Ador: and Simon and his army marched to every place whithersoever they went.\n21 And they that were in the castle, sent messengers to Tryphon, that he should make haste to come through the desert, and send them victuals.\n22 And Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, and he came not into the country of Galaad.\n23 And when he approached to Bascama, he slew Jonathan and his sons there.\n24 And Tryphon returned, and went into his own country.\n**25 And Simon sent, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, in the city of his fathers.**\n26 And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days.\n27 And Simon built over the sepulchre of his father and of his brethren, a building lofty to the sight, of polished stone behind and before:\n28 And he set up seven pyramids one against another for his father and his mother, and his four brethren:\n29 And round about these he set great pillars: and upon the pillars arms for a perpetual memory: and by the arms ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea.\n30 This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\n31 But Tryphon when he was upon a journey with the young king Antiochus, treacherously slew him.\n32 And he reigned in his place, and put on the crown of Asia: and brought great evils upon the land.\n33 And Simon built up the strong holds of Judea, fortifying them with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars: and he stored up victuals in the fortresses.\n34 And Simon chose men and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land: for all that Tryphon did was to spoil.\n35 And king Demetrius in answer to this request, wrote a letter in this manner:\n36 King Demetrius to Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, and to the ancients, and to the nation of the Jews, greeting.\n37 The golden crown, and the palm, which you sent, we have received: and we are ready to make a firm peace with you, and to write to the king's chief officers to release you the things that we have released.\n38 For all that we have decreed in your favour, shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own.\n39 And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed.\n40 And if any of you be fit to be enrolled among ours, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace between us.\n41 In the year one hundred and seventy the yoke of the Gentiles was taken off from Israel.\n42 And the people of Israel began to write in the instruments, and public records, The first year under Simon the high priest, the great captain and prince of the Jews.\n43 In those days Simon besieged Gaza, and camped round about it, and he made engines, and set them to the city, and he struck one tower, and took it.\n44 And they that were within the engine leaped into the city: and there was a great uproar in the city.\n45 And they that were in the city went up with their wives and children upon the wall, with their garments rent, and they cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.\n46 And they said: Deal not with us according to our evil deeds, but according to thy mercy.\n47 And Simon being moved, did not destroy them: but yet he cast them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein there had been idols, and then he entered into it with hymns, blessing the Lord.\n48 And having cast out of it all uncleanness, he placed in it men that should observe the law: and he fortified it, and made it his habitation.\n49 But they that were in the castle of Jerusalem were hindered from going out and coming into the country, and from buying and selling: and they were straitened with hunger, and many of them perished through famine.\n50 And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence, and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses.\n51 And they entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month, in the year one hundred and seventy-one, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and harps, and cymbals, and psalteries, and hymns, and canticles, because the great enemy was destroyed out of Israel.\n52 And he ordained that these days should be kept every year with gladness.\n53 And he fortified the mountain of the temple that was near the castle, and he dwelt there himself, and they that were with him.\n54 And Simon saw that John his son was a

For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.\n17 Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.\n18 Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,\n19 And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no man's invasion.\n20 But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?\n21 I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:\n22 And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.\n23 The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.\n24 For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.\n25 If thy brother being impoverished sell his little possession, and his kinsman will, he may redeem what he had sold.\n26 But if he have no kinsman, and he himself can find the price to redeem it:\n27 The value of the fruits shall be counted from that time when he sold it: and the overplus he shall restore to the buyer, and so shall receive his possession again.\n28 But if his hands find not the means to repay the price, the buyer shall have what he bought, until the year of the jubilee. For in that year all that is sold shall return to the owner, and to the ancient possessor.\n29 He that selleth a house within the walls of a city, shall have the liberty to redeem it, until one year be expired:\n30 If he redeem it not, and the whole year be fully out, the buyer shall possess it, and his posterity for ever, and it cannot be redeemed, not even in the jubilee.\n31 But if the house be in a village, that hath no walls, it shall be sold according to the same law as the fields: if it be not redeemed before, in the jubilee it shall return to the owner.\n32 The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed:\n33 If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners, because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.\n34 But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.\n35 If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee,\n36 Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest: fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.\n37 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor exact of him any increase of fruits.\n38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.\n39 If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee, thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants:\n40 But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee,\n41 And afterwards he shall go out with his children, and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers,\n42 For they are my servants, and I brought them out of the land of Egypt: let them not be sold as bondmen:\n43 Afflict him not by might, but fear thy God.\n44 Let your bondmen, and your bondwomen, be of the nations that are round about you.\n45 And of the strangers that sojourn among you, or that were born of them in your land, these you shall have for servants:\n46 And by right of inheritance shall leave them to your posterity, and shall possess them for ever. But oppress not your brethren the children of Israel by might.\n**47 If the hand of a stranger or a sojourner grow strong among you, and thy brother being impoverished sell himself to him, or to any of his race:**\n48 After the sale he may be redeemed. He that will of his brethren shall redeem him:\n49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, or his kinsman, by blood, or by affinity. But if he himself be able also, he shall redeem himself,\n50 Counting only the years from the time of his selling unto the year of the jubilee: and counting the money that he was sold for, according to the number of the years and the reckoning of a hired servant,\n51 If there be many years that remain until the jubilee, according to them shall he also repay the price.\n52 If few, he shall make the reckoning with him according to the number of the years, and shall repay to the buyer of what remaineth of the years,\n53 His wages being allowed for which he served before: he shall not afflict him violently in thy sight.\n54 And if by these means he cannot be redeemed, in the year of the jubilee he shall go out with his children.\n55 For the children of Israel are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What does Mark chapter 9 verse 42 say?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The New Testament**\n*Mark 9:42 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** Matthew\n- **Chapter:** 5\n- **Verse:** 24", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Matthew 5:24 from the New Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"Leave there thy offering before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to thy brother: and then coming thou shalt offer thy gift.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The text \"And they were found two thousand six hundred and thirty.\" is part of Numbers chapter 4, verse 40 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Bible, the verse \"O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.\" can be found in the book of Psalm, chapter 7, verse 2 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.\" from?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The quote \"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from these things that are written in this book.\" is from Revelation 22:19 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Where exactly in the Bible is \"Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,\" written?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the book of Ruth, chapter 4, verse 19 of the Old Testament, you'll find \"Esron begot Aram, Aram begot Aminadab,\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What chapter and book should I look at for \"There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you mentioned is found in *Sirach*, chapter *20*.\n\nHere's the entire chapter for you:\n*Sirach Chapter 20*\n1 How much better is it to reprove, than to be angry, and not to hinder him that confesseth in prayer.\n2 The lust of an eunuch shall devour a young maiden:\n3 So is he that by violence executeth unjust judgment.\n4 How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance!

Here it is:\n*2 Maccabees Chapter 7*\n1 It came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges.\n2 But one of them, who was the eldest, said thus: What wouldst thou ask, or learn of us? we are ready to die rather than to transgress the laws of God, received from our fathers.\n3 Then the king being angry commanded fryingpans, and brazen caldrons to be made hot: which forthwith being heated,\n4 He commanded to cut out the tongue of him that had spoken first: and the skin of his head being drawn off, to chop off also the extremities of his hands and feet, the rest of his brethren, and his mother, looking on.\n5 And when he was now maimed in all parts, he commanded him, being yet alive, to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the fryingpan: and while he was suffering therein long torments, the rest, together with the mother, exhorted one another to die manfully,\n6 Saying: The Lord God will look upon the truth, and will take pleasure in us, as Moses declared in the profession of the canticle: And In his servants he will take pleasure.\n7 So when the first was dead after this manner, they brought the next to make him a, mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him if he would eat, before he were punished throughout the whole body in every limb.\n8 But he answered in his own language, and said: I will not do it. Wherefore he also in the next place, received the torments of the first:\n9 And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life.\n10 After him the third was made a mocking stock, and when he was required, he quickly put forth his tongue, and courageously stretched out his hands:\n11 And said with confidence: These I have from heaven, but for the laws of God I now despise them: because I hope to receive them again from him.\n12 So that the king, and they that were with him, wondered at the young man's courage, because he esteemed the torments as nothing.\n13 And after he was thus dead, they tormented the fourth in the like manner.\n14 And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him: for, as to thee thou shalt have no resurrection unto life.\n15 And when they had brought the fifth, they tormented him. But he looking upon the king,\n16 Said: Whereas thou hast power among men, though thou art corruptible, thou dost what thou wilt: but think not that our nation is forsaken by God.\n17 But stay patiently a while, and thou shalt see his great power, in what manner he will torment thee and thy seed.\n18 After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us:\n19 But do not think that thou shalt escape unpunished, for that thou attempted to fight against God.\n20 Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God:\n21 And she bravely exhorted every one of them in her own language, being filled with wisdom: and joining a man's heart to a woman's thought,\n22 She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb: for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you.\n23 But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws.\n24 Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary.\n25 But when the young man was not moved with these things, the king called the mother, and counselled her to deal with the young man to save his life.\n26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised that she would counsel her son.\n27 So bending herself towards him, mocking the cruel tyrant, she said in her own language: My son, have pity upon me, that bore thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age.\n28 I beseech thee, my son, look upon heaven and earth, and all that is in them: and consider that God made them out of nothing, and mankind also:\n29 So thou shalt not fear this tormentor, but being made a worthy partner with thy brethren, receive death, that in that mercy I may receive thee again with thy brethren.\n30 While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said: For whom do you stay? I will not obey the commandment of the king, but the commandment of the law, which was given us by Moses.\n31 But thou that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hand of God.\n32 For we suffer thus for our sins.\n33 And though the Lord our God is angry with us a little while for our chastisement and correction: yet he will be reconciled again to his servants.\n34 But thou, O wicked and of all men most flagitious, be not lifted up without cause with vain hopes, whilst thou art raging against his servants.\n35 For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of the almighty God, who beholdeth all things.\n36 For my brethren, having now undergone a short pain, are under the covenant of eternal life: but thou by the judgment of God shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.\n**37 But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God.**\n38 But in me and in my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which hath justly been brought upon all our nation, shall cease.\n39 Then the king being incensed with anger, raged against him more cruelly than all the rest, taking it grievously that he was mocked.\n40 So this man also died undefiled, wholly trusting in the Lord.\n41 And last of all after the sons the mother also was consumed.\n42 But now there is enough said of the sacrifices, and of the excessive cruelties.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What are the chapter and verse numbers for \"And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.\" in the Bible?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.\" comes from 2 Samuel 2:22 in the Old Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and what chapter and verse include \"Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing, bless me.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the Old Testament, the book of Exodus, chapter 12, verse 32 states: \"Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing, bless me.\".", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "From which book and what chapter does \"For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.\" come?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your verse is located in *Hebrews*, chapter *3*.\n\nTake a look at the whole chapter:\n*Hebrews Chapter 3*\n1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Jesus:\n2 Who is faithful to him that made him, as was also Moses in all his house.\n3 For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house, hath greater honour than the house.\n4 For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things, is God.\n5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said:\n6 But Christ as the Son in his own house: which house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and glory of hope unto the end.\n7 Wherefore, as the Holy Ghost saith: To day if you shall hear his voice,\n8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation; in the day of temptation in the desert,\n9 Where your fathers tempted me, proved and saw my works,\n10 Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart.

And he said:\n5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.\n6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.\n7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?\n8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.\n9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.\n10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.\n11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.\n12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.\n13 Then were little children presented to him, that he should impose hands upon them and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.\n14 But Jesus said to them: Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come to me: for the kingdom of heaven is for such.\n15 And when he had imposed hands upon them, he departed from thence.\n16 And behold one came and said to him: Good master, what good shall I do that I may have life everlasting?\n17 Who said to him: Why asketh thou me concerning good?

And Amnon said to him: I am in love with Thamar the sister of my brother Absalom.\n5 And Jonadab said to him: Lie down upon thy bed, and feign thyself sick: and when thy father shall come to visit thee, say to him: Let my sister Thamar, I pray thee, come to me, to give me to eat, and to make me a mess, that I may eat it at her hand.\n6 So Amnon lay down, and made as if he were sick: and when the king came to visit him, Amnon said to the king: I pray thee let my sister Thamar come, and make in my sight two little messes, that I may eat at her hand.\n7 Then David sent home to Thamar, saying: Come to the house of thy brother Amnon, and make him a mess.\n8 And Thamar came to the house of Amnon her brother: but he was laid down: and she took meal and tempered it: and dissolving it in his sight she made little messes.\n9 And taking what she had boiled, she poured it out, and set it before him, but he would not eat: and Amnon said: Put out all persons from me. And when they had put all persons out,\n10 Amnon said to Thamar: Bring the mess into the chamber, that I may eat at thy hand. And Thamar took the little messes which she had made, and brought them in to her brother Amnon in the chamber.\n11 And when she had presented him the meat, he took hold of her, and said: Come lie with me, my sister.\n12 She answered him: Do not so, my brother, do not force me: for no such thing must be done in Israel. Do not thou this folly.\n13 For I shall not be able to bear my shame, and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel: but rather speak to the king, and he will not deny me to thee.\n14 But he would not hearken to her prayers, but being stronger overpowered her and lay with her.\n15 Then Amnon hated her with an exceeding great hatred: so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her before, And Amnon said to her: Arise, and get thee gone.\n16 She answered him: This evil which now thou dost against me, in driving me away, is greater than that which thou didst before. And he would not hearken to her:\n17 But calling the servants that ministered to him, he said: Thrust this woman out from me: and shut the door after her.\n18 And she was clothed with along robe: for the king's daughters that were virgins, used such kind of garments. Then his servant thrust her out: and shut the door after her.\n19 And she put ashes on her head, and rent her long robe and laid her hands upon her head, and went on crying.\n20 And Absalom her brother said to her: Hath thy brother Amnon lain with thee? but now, sister, hold thy peace, he is thy brother: and afflict not thy heart for this thing. So Thamar remained pining away in the house of Absalom her brother.\n21 And when king David heard of these things he was exceedingly grieved: and he would not afflict the spirit of his son Amnon, for he loved him, because he was his firstborn.\n22 But Absalom spoke not to Amnon neither good nor evil: for Absalom hated Amnon because he had ravished his sister Thamar.\n23 And it came to pass after two years, that the sheep of Absalom were shorn in Baalhasor, which is near Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons:\n24 And he came to the king, and said to him: Behold thy servant's sheep are shorn. Let the king, I pray, with his servants come to his servant.\n25 And the king said to Absalom: Nay, my son, do not ask that we should all come, and be chargeable to thee. And when he pressed him, and he would not go, he blessed him.\n26 And Absalom said: If thou wilt not come, at least let my brother Amnon, I beseech thee, come with us. And the king said to him: It is not necessary that he should go with thee.\n27 But Absalom pressed him, so that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a feast as it were the feast of a king.\n28 And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Amnon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men.\n29 And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded them. And all the king's sons arose and got up every man upon his mule, and fled.\n30 And while they were yet in the way, a rumour came to David, saying: Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.\n31 Then the king rose up, and rent his garments: and fell upon the ground, and all his servants, that stood about him, rent their garments.\n32 But Jonadab the son of Semmaa David's brother answering, said: Let not my lord the king think that all the king's sons are slain: Amnon only is dead, for he was appointed by the mouth of Absalom from the day that he ravished his sister Thamar.\n33 Now therefore let not my lord the king take this thing into his heart, saying: All the king's sons are slain: for Amnon only is dead.\n**34 But Absalom fled away: and the young man that kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold there came much people by a by-way on the side of the mountain.**\n35 And Jonadab said to the king: Behold the king's sons are come: as thy servant said, so it is.\n36 And when he made an end of speaking, the king's sons also appeared: and coming in they lifted up their voice, and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very much.\n37 But Absalom fled, and went to Tholomai the son of Ammiud the king of Gessur.

again.\n4 And he said to the shepherds: Brethren, whence are you? They answered: Of Haran.\n5 And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban the son of Nachor? They said: We know him.\n6 He said: Is he in health? He is in health, say they: and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with his flock.\n7 And Jacob said: There is yet much day remaining, neither is it time to bring the flocks into the folds again: first give the sheep drink, and so lead them back to feed.\n8 They answered: We cannot, till all the cattle be gathered together, and we remove the stone from the well's mouth, that we may water the flocks.\n9 They were yet speaking, and behold Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she fed the flock.\n10 And when Jacob saw her, and knew her to be his cousin-german, and that they were the sheep of Laban, his uncle: he removed the stone wherewith the well was closed.\n11 And having watered the flock, he kissed her: and lifting up his voice, wept.\n12 And he told her that he was her father's brother, and the son of Rebecca: but she went in haste and told her father.\n13 Who, when he heard that Jacob his sister's son was come, ran forth to meet him; and embracing him, and heartily kissing him, brought him into his house.

And he broke the bands, as a man would break a thread of tow twined with spittle, when it smelleth the fire: so it was not known wherein his strength Jay.\n10 And Dalila said to him: Behold thou hast mocked me, and hast told me a false thing: but now at least tell me wherewith thou mayest be bound.\n11 And he answered her: If I shall be bound with new ropes, that were never in work, I shall be weak and like other men.\n12 Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs.\n13 And Dalila said to him again: How long dost thou deceive me, and tell me lies? shew me wherewith thou mayest be bound. And Samson answered her: If thou plattest the seven locks of my head with a lace, and tying them round about a nail fastenest it in the ground, I shall be weak.\n14 And when Dalila had done this, she said to him: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking out of his sleep he drew out the nail with the hairs and the lace.\n15 And Dalila said to him: How dost thou say thou lovest me, when thy mind is not with me? Thou hast told me lies these three times, and wouldst not tell me wherein thy great strength lieth.\n16 And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even until death.\n17 Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother's womb: if my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men.\n18 Then seeing that be had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up taking with them the money which they had promised.\n19 But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber, and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him.\n20 And she said: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson. And awaking from sleep, he said in his mind: I will go out as I did before, and shake myself, not knowing that the Lord was departed from him.\n21 Then the Philistines seized upon him, and forthwith pulled out his eyes, and led him bound in chains to Gaza, and shutting him up in prison made him grind.\n22 And now his hair began to grow again.\n23 And the princes of the Philistines assembled together, to offer great sacrifices to Dagon their god, and to make merry, saying: Our god hath delivered our enemy Samson into our hands.\n24 And the people also seeing this, praised their god, and said the same: Our god hath delivered our adversary into our bands, him that destroyed our country and killed very many.\n25 And rejoicing in their feasts, when they had now taken their good cheer, they commanded that Samson should be called, and should play before them. And being brought out of prison he played before them, and they made him stand between two pillars.\n26 And he said to the lad that guided his steps: Suffer me to touch the pillars which support the whole house, and let me lean upon them, and rest a little.\n27 Now the house was full of men and women, and all the princes of the Philistines were there. Moreover about three thousand persons of both sexes from the roof and the higher part of the house, were beholding Samson's play.\n**28 But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God, remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge.**\n29 And laying hold on both the pillars on which the house rested, and holding the one with his right hand, and the other with his left,\n30 He said: Let me die with the Philistines. And when he had strongly shook the pillars, the house fell upon all the princes, and the rest of the multitude that was there: and he killed many more at his death, than he had killed before in his life.\n31 And his brethren and all his kindred, going down took his body, and buried it between Saraa and Esthaol in the buryingplace of his father Manue: and he judged Israel twenty years.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "From which book and what chapter does \"He was asked by him whence he came.

My grandfather Jesus, after he had much given himself to a diligent reading of the law, and the prophets, and other books, that were delivered to us from our fathers, had a mind also to write something himself, pertaining to doctrine and wisdom: that such as are desirous to learn, and are made knowing in these things, may be more and more attentive in mind, and be strengthened to live according to the law. I entreat you therefore to come with benevolence, and to read with attention, and to pardon us for those things wherein we may seem, while we follow the image of wisdom, to come short in the composition of words; for the Hebrew words have not the same force in them when translated into another tongue. And not only these, but the law also itself, and the prophets, and the rest of the books, have no small difference, when they are spoken in their own language. For in the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when Ptolemy Evergetes was king, and continuing there a long time, I found there books left, of no small nor contemptible learning. Therefore I thought it good, and necessary for me to bestow some diligence and labour to interpret this book; and with much watching and study in some space of time, I brought the book to an end, and set it forth for the service of them that are willing to apply their mind, and to learn how they ought to conduct themselves, who purpose to lead their life according to the law of the Lord.

But they would not hearken to the proposition of their brethren the children of Israel:\n14 But out of all the cities which were of their lot, they gathered themselves together into Gabaa, to aid them, and to fight against the whole people of Israel.\n**15 And there were found of Benjamin five and twenty thousand men that drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gabaa,**\n16 Who were seven hundred most valiant men, fighting with the left hand as well as with the right: and slinging stones so sure that they could hit even a hair, and not miss by the stone's going on either side.\n17 Of the men of Israel also, beside the children of Benjamin, were found four hundred thousand that drew swords, and were prepared to fight.\n18 And they arose and came to the house of God, that is, to Silo: and they consulted God, and said: Who shall be in our army the first to go to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the Lord answered them: Let Juda be your leader.\n19 And forthwith the children of Israel rising in the morning, camped by Gabaa:\n20 And going out from thence to fight against Benjamin, began to assault the city.\n21 And the children of Benjamin coming out of Gabaa, slew of the children of Israel that day two and twenty thousand men.\n22 Again Israel trusting in their strength and their number, set their army in array in the same place, where they had fought before:\n23 Yet so that they first went up and wept before the Lord until night: and consulted him, and said: Shall I go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin my brethren, or not? And he answered them: Go up against them, and join battle.\n24 And when the children of Israel went out the next day to fight against the children of Benjamin,\n25 The children of Benjamin sallied forth out of the gates of Gabaa: and meeting them made so great a slaughter of them, as to kill eighteen thousand men that drew the sword.\n26 Wherefore all the children of Israel came to the house of God, and sat and wept before the Lord: and they fasted that day till the evening, and offered to him holocausts, and victims of peace offerings,\n27 And inquired of him concerning their state.

And the Lord said to them: Go up, for to morrow I will deliver them into your hands.\n29 And the children of Israel set ambushes round about the city of Gabaa:\n30 And they drew up their army against Benjamin the third time, as they had done the first and second.\n31 And the children of Benjamin boldly issued out of the city, and seeing their enemies flee, pursued them a long way, so as to wound and kill some of them, as they had done the first and second day, whilst they fled by two highways, whereof one goeth up to Bethel, and the other to Gabaa, and they slew about thirty men:\n32 For they thought to cut them off, as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee to bring them to the highways aforesaid.\n33 Then all the children of Israel rising up out of the places where they were, set their army in battle array, in the place which is called Baalthamar. The ambushes also which were about the city, began by little and little to come forth,\n34 And to march from the west side of the city. And other ten thousand men chosen out of all Israel attacked the inhabitants of the city. And the battle grew hot against the children of Benjamin: and they understood not that present death threatened them on every side.\n35 And the Lord defeated them before the children of Israel, and they slew of them in that day five and twenty thousand, and one hundred, all fighting men and that drew the sword.\n36 But the children of Benjamin when they saw themselves to be too weak, began to flee. Which the children of Israel seeing, gave them place to flee, that they might come to the ambushes that were prepared, which they had set near the city.\n37 And they that were in ambush arose on a sudden out of their coverts, and whilst Benjamin turned their backs to the slayers, went into the city, and smote it with the edge of the sword.\n38 Now the children of Israel had given a sign to them, whom they had laid in ambushes, that after they had taken the city, they should make a fire: that by the smoke rising on high, they might shew that the city was taken.\n39 And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army)\n40 And perceived as it were a pillar of smoke rise up from the city; and Benjamin looking back, saw that the city was taken, and that the flames ascended on high:\n41 They that before had made as if they fled, turning their faces stood bravely against them; which the children of Benjamin seeing, turned their backs,\n42 And began to go towards the way of the desert, the enemy pursuing them thither also. And they that fired the city came also out to meet them.\n43 And so it was, that they were slain on both sides by the enemies, and there was no rest of their men dying.

But they said: Go up, and God will deliver it into the king's hand.\n6 And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him?\n7 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king.\n8 And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla.\n9 Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.\n10 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.\n11 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king's hand.\n**12 And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success.**\n13 And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak.\n14 So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear?

But he told not this to his father.\n2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.\n3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.\n18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)\n19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.\n20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.\n21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.\n22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n**38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.**\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.\n11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.\n12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.\n13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.\n14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.\n15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.\n16 And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.\n17 And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.\n18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.\n19 When they had rowed therefore about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking upon the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship, and they were afraid.\n20 But he saith to them: It is I; be not afraid.\n21 They were willing therefore to take him into the ship; and presently the ship was at the land to which they were going.\n22 The next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, saw that there was no other ship there but one, and that Jesus had not entered into the ship with his disciples, but that his disciples were gone away alone.\n23 But other ships came in from Tiberias; nigh unto the place where they had eaten the bread, the Lord giving thanks.\n24 When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping, and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus.\n25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Rabbi, when camest thou hither?\n26 Jesus answered them, and said: Amen, amen I say to you, you seek me, not because you have seen miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled.\n27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you.

And as they were preparing, there came upon him an ecstasy of mind.\n11 And he saw the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great linen sheet let down by the four corners from heaven to the earth:\n12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts, and creeping things of the earth, and fowls of the air.\n13 And there came a voice to him: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.\n14 But Peter said: Far be it from me; for I never did eat any thing that is common and unclean.\n15 And the voice spoke to him again the second time: That which God hath cleansed, do not thou call common.\n16 And this was done thrice; and presently the vessel was taken up into heaven.\n17 Now, whilst Peter was doubting within himself, what the vision that he had seen should mean, behold the men who were sent from Cornelius, inquiring for Simon's house, stood at the gate.\n18 And when they had called, they asked, if Simon, who is surnamed Peter, were lodged there.\n19 And as Peter was thinking of the vision, the Spirit said to him: Behold three men seek thee.\n20 Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.\n21 Then Peter, going down to the men, said: Behold, I am he whom you seek; what is the cause for which you are come?\n22 Who said: Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and having good testimony from all the nation of the Jews, received an answer of an holy angel, to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.\n23 Then bringing them in, he lodged them. And the day following he arose, and went with them: and some of the brethren from Joppe accompanied him.\n24 And the morrow after, he entered into Caesarea.

Now therefore all we are present in thy sight, to hear all things whatsoever are commanded thee by the Lord.\n34 And Peter opening his mouth, said: In very deed I perceive, that God is not a respecter of persons.\n35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and worketh justice, is acceptable to him.\n36 God sent the word to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all.)\n37 You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached,\n38 Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.\n39 And we are witnesses of all things that he did in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed, hanging him upon a tree.\n40 Him God raised up the third day, and gave him to be made manifest,\n41 Not to all the people, but to witnesses preordained by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he arose again from the dead;\n42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he who was appointed by God, to be judge of the living and of the dead.\n43 To him all the prophets give testimony, that by his name all receive remission of sins, who believe in him.\n44 While Peter was yet speaking these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them that heard the word.\n45 And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished, for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also.\n46 For they heard them speaking with tongues, and magnifying God.\n47 Then Peter answered: Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, who have received the Holy Ghost, as well as we?\n48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

But he told not this to his father.\n2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.\n3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n**5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.**\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.\n18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)\n19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.\n20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.\n21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.\n22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

And therefore he commanded his chariot to be driven, without stopping in his journey, the judgment of heaven urging him forward, because he had spoken so proudly, that he would come to Jerusalem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews.\n5 But the Lord the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts.\n6 And indeed very justly, seeing he had tormented the bowels of others with many and new torments, albeit he by no means ceased from his malice.\n7 Moreover being filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding the matter to be hastened, it happened as he was going with violence that he fell from the chariot, so that his limbs were much pained by a grievous bruising of the body.\n8 Thus he that seemed to himself to command even the waves of the sea, being proud above the condition of man, and to weigh the heights of the mountains in a balance, now being cast down to the ground, was carried in a litter, bearing witness to the manifest power of God in himself:\n9 So that worms swarmed out of the body of this man, and whilst he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell off, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to the army.\n10 And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench.\n11 And by this means, being brought from his great pride, he began to come to the knowledge of himself, being admonished by the scourge of God, his pains increasing every moment.\n12 And when he himself could not now abide his own stench, he spoke thus: It is just to be subject to God, and that a mortal man should not equal himself to God.\n**13 Then this wicked man prayed to the Lord, of whom he was not like to obtain mercy.**\n14 And the city to which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a, common buryingplace, he now desireth to make free.\n15 And the Jews whom he said he would not account worthy to be so much as buried, but would give them up to be devoured by the birds and wild beasts, and would utterly destroy them with their children, he now promiseth to make equal with the Athenians.\n16 The holy temple also which before he had spoiled, he promiseth to adorn with goodly gifts, and to multiply the holy vessels, and to allow out of his revenues the charges pertaining to the sacrifices.\n17 Yea also, that he would become a Jew himself, and would go through every place of the earth, and declare the power of God.\n18 But his pains not ceasing (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life he wrote to the Jews in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words:\n19 To his very good subjects the Jews, Antiochus king and ruler wisheth much health and welfare, and happiness.\n20 If you and your children are well, and if all matters go with you to your mind, we give very great thanks.\n21 As for me, being infirm, but yet kindly remembering you, returning out of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good:\n22 Not distrusting my life, but having great hope to escape the sickness.\n23 But considering that my father also, at what time he led an army into the higher countries, appointed who should reign after him:\n24 To the end that if any thing contrary to expectation should fall out, or any bad tidings should be brought, they that were in the countries, knowing to whom the whole government was left, might not be troubled.\n25 Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes and borderers wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below.\n26 I pray you therefore, and request of you, that remembering favours both public and private, you will every man of you continue to be faithful to me and to my son.\n27 For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you.\n28 Thus the murderer and blasphemer, being grievously struck, as himself had treated others, died a miserable death in a strange country among the mountains.\n29 But Philip that was brought up with him, carried away his body: and out of fear of the son of Antiochus, went into Egypt to Ptolemee Philometor.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "- **Book:** Acts\n- **Chapter:** 7\n- **Verse:** 40", "role": "user" }, { "content": "**The New Testament**\n*Acts 7:40 (Douay Rheims)*\n\"Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us.

came to pass, when Judith a widow had heard these words, who was the daughter of Merari, the son of Idox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozias, the son of Elai, the son of Jamnor, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Achitob, the son of Melehias, the son of Enan, the son of Nathanias, the son of Salathiel, the son of Simeon, the son of Ruben:\n2 And her husband was Manasses, who died in the time of the barley harvest:\n3 For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers.\n4 And Judith his relict was a widow now three years and six months.\n5 And she made herself a private chamber in the upper part of her house, in which she abode shut up with her maids.\n6 And she wore haircloth upon her loins, and fasted all the days of her life, except the sabbaths, and new moons, and the feasts of the house of Israel.\n7 And she was exceedingly beautiful, and her husband left her great riches, and very many servants, and large possessions of herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep.\n8 And she was greatly renowned among all, because she feared the Lord very much, neither was there any one that spoke an ill word of her.\n9 When therefore she had heard that Ozias had promised that he would deliver up the city after the fifth day, she sent to the ancients Chabri and Charmi.\n**10 And they came to her, and she said to them: What is this word, by which Ozias hath consented to give up the city to the Assyrians, if within five days there come no aid to us?**\n11 And who are you that tempt the Lord?\n12 This is not a word that may draw down mercy, but rather that may stir up wrath, and enkindle indignation.\n13 You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure.\n14 But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon:\n15 For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger like the son of man.\n16 And therefore let us humble our souls before him, and continuing in an humble spirit, in his service:\n17 Let us ask the Lord with tears, that according to his will so he would shew his mercy to us: that as our heart is troubled by their pride, so also we may glorify in our humility.\n18 For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods.\n19 For which crime they were given up to their enemies, to the sword, and to pillage, and to confusion: but we know no other God but him.\n20 Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace.\n21 And now, brethren, as you are the ancients among the people of God, and their very soul resteth upon you: comfort their hearts by your speech, that they may be mindful how our fathers were tempted that they might be proved, whether they worshipped their God truly.\n22 They must remember how our father Abraham was tempted, and being proved by many tribulations, was made the friend of God.\n23 So Isaac, so Jacob, so Moses, and all that have pleased God, passed through many tribulations, remaining faithful.\n24 But they that did not receive the trials with the fear of the Lord, but uttered their impatience and the reproach of their murmuring against the Lord,\n25 Were destroyed by the destroyer, and perished by serpents.\n26 As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer.\n27 But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction.\n28 And Ozias and the ancients said to her: All things which thou hast spoken are true, and there is nothing to be reprehended in thy words.\n29 Now therefore pray for us, for thou art a holy woman, and one fearing God.\n30 And Judith said to them: As you know that what I have been able to say is of God:\n31 So that which I intend to do prove ye if it be of God, and pray that God may strengthen my design.\n32 You shall stand at the gate this night, and I will go out with my maidservant: and pray ye, that as you have said, in five days the Lord may look down upon his people Israel.\n33 But I desire that you search not into what I am doing, and till I bring you word let nothing else be done but to pray for me to the Lord our God.\n34 And Ozias the prince of Juda said to her: Go in peace, and the Lord be with thee to take revenge of our enemies.

He answered, and said: Thy servant is of such a tribe of Israel.\n3 And Absalom answered him: Thy words seem to me good and just. But there is no man appointed by the king to hear thee. And Absalom said:\n4 O that they would make me judge over the land, that all that have business might come to me, that I might do them justice.\n5 Moreover when any man came to him to salute him, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.\n6 And this he did to all Israel that came for judgment, to be heard by the king, and he enticed the hearts of the men of Israel.\n7 And after forty years, Absalom said to king David: Let me go, and pay my vows which I have vowed to the Lord in Hebron.\n8 For thy servant made avow, when he was in Gessur of Syria, saying: If the Lord shall bring me again into Jerusalem I will offer sacrifice to the Lord.\n9 And king David said to him: Go in peace.

And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom.\n13 And there came a messenger to David, saying: All Israel with their whole heart followeth Absalom.\n14 And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.\n15 And the king's servants said to him: Whatsoever our lord the king shall command, we thy servants will willingly execute.\n16 And the king went forth, and all his household on foot: and the king left ten women his concubines to keep the house:\n17 And the king going forth and all Israel on foot, stood afar off from the house:\n18 And all his servants walked by him, and the bands of the Cerethi, and the Phelethi, and all the Gethites, valiant warriors, six hundred men who had followed him from Geth on foot, went before the king.\n19 And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us? return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place.\n20 Yesterday thou camest, and to day shalt thou be forced to go forth with us? but I shall go whither I am going: return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee, and the Lord will shew thee mercy, and truth, because thou hast shewn grace and fidelity.\n21 And Ethai answered the king, saying: As the Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth: in what place soever thou shalt be, my lord, O king, either in death, or in life, there will thy servant be.\n22 And David said to Ethai: Come, and pass over.

But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.\n50 Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.\n51 And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.\n52 But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.\n53 And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.\n54 And Peter followed him from afar off, even into the court of the high priest; and he sat with the servants at the fire, and warmed himself.\n55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence against Jesus, that they might put him to death, and found none.\n56 For many bore false witness against him, and their evidences were not agreeing.\n57 And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying:\n58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with hands, and within three days I will build another not made with hands.\n59 And their witness did not agree.\n60 And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by these men?\n61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said to him: Art thou the Christ the Son of the blessed God?\n62 And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming with the clouds of heaven.\n63 Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we any further witnesses?\n64 You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned him to be guilty of death.\n65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him: Prophesy: and the servants struck him with the palms of their hands.\n66 Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the maidservants of the high priest.\n67 And when she had seen Peter warming himself, looking on him she saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.\n68 But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew.\n69 And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers by: This is one of them.\n70 But he denied again. And after a while they that stood by said again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a Galilean.\n71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying; I know not this man of whom you speak.\n72 And immediately the cock crew again.

For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that:\n11 And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her.\n12 Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.\n13 And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king's chamber.\n14 And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come.\n15 And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all.\n16 So she was brought to the chamber of king Assuerus the tenth month, which is called Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.\n17 And the king loved her more than all the women, and she had favour and kindness before him above all the women, and he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vasthi.\n18 And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther. And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence.\n19 And when the virgins were sought the second time, and gathered together, Mardochai stayed at the king's gate,\n20 Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one.\n21 At that time, therefore, when Mardochai abode at the king's gate, Bagathan and Thares, two of the king's eunuchs, who were porters, and presided in the first entry of the palace, were angry: and they designed to rise up against the king, and to kill him.\n22 And Mardochai had notice of it, and immediately he told it to queen Esther: and she to the king in Mardochai's name, who had reported the thing unto her.\n23 It was inquired into, and found out: and they were both hanged on a gibbet.

complete chapter text:\n*1 Maccabees Chapter 9*\n1 In the mean time when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army were fallen in battle, he sent again Bacchides and Alcimus into Judea; and the right wing of his army with them.\n2 And they took the road that leadeth to Galgal, and they camped in Masaloth, which is in Arabella: and they made themselves masters of it, and slew many people.\n3 In the first month of the hundred and fifty-second year they brought the army to Jerusalem:\n4 And they arose, and went to Berea with twenty thousand men, and two thousand horsemen.\n5 Now Judas had pitched his tents in Laisa, and three thousand chosen men with him:\n6 And they saw the multitude of the army that they were many, and they were seized with great fear: and many withdrew themselves out of the camp, and there remained of them no more than eight hundred men.\n7 And Judas saw that his army slipped away, and the battle pressed upon him, and his heart was cast down: because he had not time to gather them together, and he was discouraged.\n8 Then he said to them that remained: Let us arise, and go against our enemies, if we may be able to fight against them.\n9 But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few.\n10 Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory.\n11 And the army removed out of the camp, and they stood over against them: and the horsemen were divided into two troops, and the slingers, and the archers went before the army, and they that were in the front were all men of valour.\n12 And Bacchides was in the right wing, and the legion drew near on two sides, and they sounded the trumpets:\n13 And they also were on Judas' side, even they also cried out, and the earth shook at the noise of the armies: and the battle was fought from morning even unto the evening.\n14 And Judas perceived that the stronger part of the army of Bacchides was on the right side, and all the stout of heart came together with him:\n15 And the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued them even to the mount Azotus.\n16 And they that were in the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they followed after Judas, and them that were with him, at their back:\n17 And the battle was hard fought, and there fell many wounded of the one side and of the other.\n18 And Judas was slain, and the rest fled away.\n19 And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of their fathers in the city of Modin.\n20 And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days.\n21 And said: How is the mighty man fallen, that saved the people of Israel!\n22 But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many.\n23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the confines of Israel, and all the workers of iniquity rose up.\n24 In those days there was a very great famine, and they and all their country yielded to Bacchides.\n25 And Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country:\n26 And they sought out, and made diligent search after the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance of them, and abused them.\n27 And there was a great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the day, that there was no prophet seen in Israel.\n28 And all the friends of Judas came together, and said to Jonathan:\n29 Since thy brother Judas died, there is not a man like him to go forth against our enemies, Bacchides, and them that are the enemies of our nation.\n30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captain in his stead to fight our battles.\n31 So Jonathan took upon him the government at that time, and rose up in the place of Judas his brother.\n32 And Bacchides had knowledge of it, and sought to kill him.\n33 And Jonathan and Simon his brother, knew it, and all that were with them: and they fled into the desert of Thecua, and they pitched by the water of the lake of Asphar,\n34 And Bacchides understood it, and he came himself with all his army over the Jordan on the sabbath day.\n35 And Jonathan sent his brother a captain of the people, to desire the Nabutheans his friends, that they would lend them their equipage, which was copious.\n36 And the children of Jambri came forth out of Madaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went away with them.\n37 After this it was told Jonathan, and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride out of Madaba, the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan, with great pomp.\n38 And the remembered the blood of John their brother: and they went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain.\n39 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw: and behold a tumult, and great preparation: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends, and his brethren to meet them with timbrels, and musical instruments, and many weapons.\n40 And they rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and slew them, and there fell many wounded, and the rest fled into the mountains, and they took all their spoils:\n41 And the marriage was turned into mourning, and the noise of their musical instruments into lamentation.\n42 And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan.\n43 And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.\n44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.\n45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.\n46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.\n47 And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.\n48 And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:\n49 And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand men: and they returned to Jerusalem,\n50 And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.\n51 And he placed garrisons in them, that they might wage war against Israel:\n52 And he fortified the city of Bethsura, and Gazara, and the castle, and set garrisons in them, and provisions of victuals:\n53 And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody.\n54 Now in the year one hundred and fifty-three, the second month, Alcimus commanded the walls of the inner court of the sanctuary to be thrown down, and the works of the prophets to be destroyed: and he began to be destroyed: and he began to destroy.\n55 At that time Alcimus was struck: and his works were hindered, and his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak a word, nor give order concerning his house.\n56 And Alcimus died at that time in great torment.\n57 And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.\n58 And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.\n59 So they went, and gave him counsel.\n60 And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea, to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them.\n61 And he apprehended of the men of the country, that were the principal authors of the mischief, fifty men, and slew them.\n62 And Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him retired into Bethbessen, which is in the desert: and he repaired the breaches thereof, and they fortified it.\n63 And when Bacchides knew it, he gathered together all his multitude: and sent word to them that were of Judea.\n64 And he came, and camped above Bethbessen, and fought against it many days, and made engines.\n65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country: and came with a number of men.\n66 And struck Odares, and his brethren, and the children of Phaseron in their tents, and he began to slay, and to increase in forces.\n67 But Simon and they that were with him, sallied out of the city, and burnt the engines.\n68 And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain.\n69 And he was angry with the wicked men that had given him counsel to come into their country, and he slew many of them: and he purposed to return with the rest into their country.\n70 And Jonathan had knowledge of it, and he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him, and to restore to him the prisoners.\n**71 And he accepted it willingly, and did according to his words, and swore that he would do him no harm all the days of his life.**\n72 And he restored to him the prisoners which he before had taken out of the land of Juda: and he returned and went away into his own country, and he came no more into their borders.\n73 So the sword ceased from Israel: and Jonathan dwelt in Machmas, and Jonathan began there to judge the people, and he destroyed the wicked out of Israel.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Book: 2 Kings\nChapter: 18\nVerse: 26", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The scripture from the Old Testament at 2 Kings 18:26 (Douay Rheims) is:\n\"Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What book, chapter, and verse is \"And when he was come into Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples;

captain:\n7 And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them:\n8 And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea.\n9 And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman.\n10 And they sent letters to Judas and his brethren, saying, The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us, to destroy us:\n11 And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.\n12 Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain.\n13 And all our brethren that were in the places of Tubin, are killed: and they have carried away their wives, and their children, captives, and taken their spoils, and they have slain there almost a thousand men.\n14 And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:\n15 Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.\n16 Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.\n17 And Judas said to Simon his brother: Choose thee men, and go, and deliver thy brethren in Galilee: and I, and my brother Jonathan will go into the country of Galaad.\n18 And he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captains of the people with the remnant of the army in Judea to keep it:\n19 And he commanded them, saying: Take ye the charge of this people: but make no war against the heathens, till we return.\n20 Now three thousand men were allotted to Simon, to go into Galilee: and eight thousand to Judas to go into the land of Galaad.\n21 And Simon went into Galilee, and fought many battles with the heathens: and the heathens were discomfited before his face, and he pursued them even to the gate of Ptolemais.\n22 And there fell of the heathens almost three thousand men, and he took the spoils of them,\n23 And he took with him those that were in Galilee and in Arbatis with their wives, and children, and all that they had, and he brought them into Judea with great joy.\n24 And Judas Machabeus, and Jonathan his brother passed over the Jordan, and went three days' journey through the desert.\n25 And the Nabutheans met them, and received them in a peaceable manner, and told them all that happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad,\n26 And that many of them were shut up in Barasa, and in Bosor, and in Alima, and in Casphor, and in Mageth, and in Carnaim: all these strong and great cities.\n27 Yea, and that they were kept shut up in the rest of the cities of Galaad, and that they had appointed to bring their army on the morrow near to these cities, and to take them and to destroy them all in one day.\n28 Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.\n29 And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.\n30 And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.\n31 And Judas saw that the fight was begun, and the cry of the battle went up to heaven like a trumpet, and a great cry out of the city:\n32 And he said to his host: Fight ye to day for your brethren.\n33 And he came with three companies behind them, and they sounded their trumpets, and cried out in prayer.\n34 And the host of Timotheus understood that it was Machabeus, and they fled away before his face: and they made a great slaughter of them: and there fell of them in that day almost eight thousand men.\n35 And Judas turned aside to Maspha, and assaulted, and took it, and he slew every male thereof, and took the spoils thereof, and burnt it with fire.\n36 From thence he marched, and took Casbon, and Mageth, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Galaad.\n37 But after this Timotheus gathered another army, and camped over against Raphon beyond the torrent.\n38 And Judas sent men to view the army: and they brought him word, saying: All the nations, that are round about us, are assembled unto him an army exceeding great:\n39 And they have hired the Arabians to help them, and they have pitched their tents beyond the torrent, ready to come to fight against thee. And Judas went to meet them.\n40 And Timotheus said to the captains of his army: When Judas and his army come near the torrent of water, if he pass over unto us first, we shall not be able to withstand him: for he will certainly prevail over us.\n41 But if he be afraid to pass over, and camp on the other side of the river, we will pass over to them and shall prevail against him.\n42 Now when Judas came near the torrent of water, he set the scribes of the people by the torrent, and commanded them, saying: Suffer no man to stay behind: but let all come to the battle.\n43 And he passed over to them first, and all the people after him, and all the heathens were discomfited before them, and they threw away their weapons, and fled to the temple that was in Carnaim.\n44 And he took that city, and the temple he burnt with fire, with all things that were therein: and Carnaim was subdued, and could not stand against the face of Judas.\n45 And Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the land of Galaad, from the least even to the greatest, and their wives, and children, and an army exceeding great, to come into the land of Juda.\n46 And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it.\n47 And they that were in the city, shut themselves in, and stopped up the gates with stones: and Judas sent to them with peaceable words,\n48 Saying: Let us pass through your land, to go into our country: and no man shall hurt you: we will only pass through on foot. But they would not open to them.\n49 Then Judas commanded proclamation to be made in the camp, that they should make an assault every man in the place where he was.\n50 And the men of the army drew near, and he assaulted that city all the day, and all the night, and the city was delivered into his hands:\n51 And they slew every male with the edge of the sword, and he razed the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through all the city over them that were slain.\n52 Then they passed over the Jordan to the great plain that is over against Bethsan.\n53 And Judas gathered together the hindmost, and he exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Juda.\n54 And they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, and offered holocausts, because not one of them was slain, till they had returned in peace.\n55 Now in the days that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,\n56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought.\n57 And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us.\n**58 And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia.**\n59 And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle.\n60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:\n61 Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.\n62 But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel.\n63 And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard.\n64 And people assembled to them with joyful acclamations.\n65 Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children of Esau, in the land toward the south, and he took Chebron, and her towns: and he burnt the walls thereof and the towers all round it.\n66 And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he went through Samaria.\n67 In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight.\n68 And Judas turned to Azotus into the land of the strangers, and he threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land of Juda.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What is written in 1 Maccabees 13:30?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1 Maccabees 13:30 from the Old Testament (Douay Rheims) reads:\n\"This is the sepulchre that he made in Modin even unto this day.\"", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Which book and chapter does \"And it came to pass when the time was come about, Anna conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel: because she had asked him of the Lord.\" belong to?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "It's from the book of *1 Samuel*, chapter *1*.\n\nHere's the chapter in full:\n*1 Samuel Chapter 1*\n1 There was a man of Ramathaimsophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elcana, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliu, the son of Thohu, the son of Suph, an Ephraimite:\n2 And he had two wives, the name of one was Anna, and the name of the other Phenenna. Phenenna had children: but Anna had no children.\n3 And this man went up out of his city upon the appointed days, to adore and to offer sacrifice to the Lord of hosts in Silo. And the two sons of Heli, Ophni and Phinees, were there priests of the Lord.\n4 Now the day came, and Elcana offered sacrifice, and gave to Phenenna his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, portions:\n5 But to Anna he gave one portion with sorrow, because he loved Anna. And the Lord had shut up her womb.\n6 Her rival also afflicted her, and troubled her exceedingly, insomuch that she upbraided her, that the Lord had shut up her womb:\n7 And thus she did every year, when the time returned that they went up to the temple of the Lord: and thus she provoked her: but Anna wept, and did not eat.\n8 Then Elcana her husband said to her: Anna, why weepest thou? and why dost thou not eat? And why dost thou afflict thy heart? Am not I better to thee than ten children?\n9 So Anna arose after she had eaten and drunk in Silo: And Heli the priest sitting upon a stool, before the door of the temple of the Lord:\n10 As Anna had her heart full of grief, she prayed to the Lord, shedding many tears,\n11 And she made a vow, saying: O Lord, of hosts, if thou wilt look down on the affliction of thy servant, and wilt be mindful of me, and not forget thy handmaid, and wilt give to thy servant a man child: I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.\n12 And it came to pass, as she multiplied prayers before the Lord, that Heli observed her mouth.\n13 Now Anna spoke in her heart, and only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard at all. Heli therefore thought her to be drunk,\n14 And said to her: How long wilt thou, be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.\n15 Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.\n16 Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now.\n17 Then Heli said to her: Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition, which thou hast asked of him.\n18 And she said: Would to God thy handmaid may find grace in thy eyes. So the woman went on her way, and ate, and her countenance was no more changed.\n19 And they rose in the morning, and worshipped before the Lord: and they returned, and came into their house at Ramatha.

But he told not this to his father.\n2 And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gabaa under the pomegranate tree, which was in Magron: and the people with him were about six hundred men.\n3 And Achias the son of Achitob brother to Ichabod the son of Phinees, the son of Heli the priest of the Lord in Silo, wore the ephod. And the people knew not whither Jonathan was gone.\n4 Now there were between the ascents, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the garrison of the Philistines, rocks standing up on both sides, and steep cliffs like teeth on the one side, and on the other, the name of the one was Boses, and the name of the other was Sene:\n5 One rock stood out towards the north over against Machmas, and the other to the south over against Gabaa.\n6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us, because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few.\n7 And his armourbearer said to him: Do all that pleaseth thy mind: go whither thou wilt, and I will be with thee wheresoever thou hast a mind.\n8 And Jonathan said: Behold we will go over to these men. And when we shall be seen by them,\n9 If they shall speak thus to us: Stay till we come to you: let us stand still in our place, and not go up to them.\n10 But if they shall say: Come up to us: let us go up, because the Lord hath delivered them into our hands, this shall be a sign unto us.\n11 So both of them discovered themselves to the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said: Behold the Hebrews come forth out of the holes wherein they were hid.\n12 And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel.\n13 And Jonathan went up creeping on his hands and feet, and his armourbearer after him. And some fell before Jonathan, others his armourbearer slew as he followed him.\n14 And the first slaughter which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was of about twenty men, within half an acre of land, which a yoke of oxen is wont to plough in a day.\n15 And there was a miracle in the camp, through the fields: yea and all the people of their garrison, who had gone out to plunder, were amazed, and the earth trembled: and it happened as a miracle from God.\n16 And the watchmen of Saul, who were in Gabaa of Benjamin looked, and behold a multitude overthrown, and fleeing this way and that.\n17 And Saul said to the people that were with him: Look, and see who is gone from us. And when they had sought, it was found that Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.\n18 And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.)\n19 And while Saul spoke to the priest, there arose a great uproar in the camp of the Philistines: and it increased by degrees, and was heard more clearly. And Saul said to the priest: Draw in thy hand.\n20 Then Saul and all the people that were with him, shouted together, and they came to the place of the fight: and behold every man's sword was turned upon his neighbour, and there was a very great slaughter.\n21 Moreover the Hebrews that had been with the Philistines yesterday and the day before, and went up with them into the camp, returned to be with the Israelites, who were with Saul and Jonathan.\n22 And all the Israelites that had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines fled, joined themselves with their countrymen in the fight. And there were with Saul about ten thousand men.\n23 And the Lord saved Israel that day. And the fight went on as far as Bethaven.\n24 And the men of Israel were joined together that day; and Saul adjured the people, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat food till evening, till I be revenged of my enemies. So none of the people tasted any food:\n25 And all the common people came into a forest, in which there was honey upon the ground.\n26 And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.\n27 But Jonathan had not heard when his father adjured the people: and he put forth the end of the rod, which he had in his hand, and dipt it in a honeycomb: and he carried his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.\n28 And one of the people answering, said: Thy father hath bound the people with an oath, saying: Cursed be the man that shall eat any food this day. (And the people were faint.)\n29 And Jonathan said: My father hath troubled the land: you have seen yourselves that my eyes are enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey:\n30 How much more if the people had eaten of the prey of their enemies, which they found? had there not been made a greater slaughter among the Philistines?\n31 So they smote that day the Philistines from Machmas to Ailon. And the people were wearied exceedingly.\n32 And falling upon the spoils, they took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people ate them with the blood.\n33 And they told Saul that the people had sinned against the Lord, eating with the blood. And he said: You have transgressed: roll here to me now a great stone.\n34 And Saul said: Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them to bring me every man his ox and his ram, and slay them upon this stone, and eat, and you shall not sin against the Lord in eating with the blood. So all the people brought every man his ox with him till the night: and slew them there.\n35 And Saul built an altar to the Lord and he then first began to build an altar to the Lord.\n36 And Saul said: Let us fall upon the Philistines by night, and destroy them till the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And the people said: Do all that seemeth good in thy eyes. And the priest said: Let us draw near hither unto God.\n37 And Saul consulted the Lord: Shall I pursue after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hands of Israel? And he answered him not that day.\n38 And Saul said: Bring hither all the corners of the people: and know, and see by whom this sin hath happened to day.\n39 As the Lord liveth who is the saviour of Israel, if it was done by Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. In this none of the people gainsaid him.\n40 And he said to all Israel: Be you on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people answered Saul: Do what seemeth good in thy eyes.\n41 And Saul said to the Lord: O Lord God of Israel, give a sign, by which we may know, what the meaning is, that thou answerest not thy servant to day. If this iniquity be in me, or in my son Jonathan, give a proof: or if this iniquity be in thy people, give holiness. And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.\n42 And Saul said: Cast lots between me, and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.\n43 And Saul said to Jonathan: Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said: I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod, which was in my hand, and behold I must die.\n44 And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan.\n45 And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? This must not be. As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die.\n**46 And Saul went back, and did not pursue after the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own places.**\n47 And Saul having his kingdom established over Israel, fought against all his enemies round about, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and Edom, and the kings of Soba, and the Philistines; and whithersoever he turned himself, he overcame.\n48 And gathering together an army, he defeated Amalec, and delivered Israel from the hand of them that spoiled them.\n49 And the sons of Saul, were Jonathan, and Jessui, and Melchisua: and the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn was Merob, and the name of the younger Michol.\n50 And the name of Saul's wife, was Achinoam the daughter of Achimaas; and the name of the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, the cousin german of Saul.\n51 For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner, was son of Abiel.\n52 And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul.

For he hath delivered us from hell, and saved us out of the hand of death, and delivered us out of the midst of the burning flame, and saved us out of the midst of the fire.\n89 O give thanks to the Lord, because he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever and ever.\n90 O all ye religious, bless the Lord the God of gods: praise him and give him thanks, because his mercy endureth for ever and ever.\n91 Then Nabuchodonosor the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and said to his nobles: Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered the king, and said: True, O king.\n92 He answered, and said: Behold I see four men loose, and walking in the midst of the fire, and there is no hurt in them, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.\n93 Then Nabuchodonosor came to the door of the burning fiery furnace, and said: Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, ye servants of the most high God, go ye forth, and come. And immediately Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago went out from the midst of the fire.\n94 And the nobles, and the magistrates, and the judges, and the great men of the king being gathered together, considered these men, that the fire had no power on their bodies, and that not a hair of their head had been singed, nor their garments altered, nor the smell of the fire had passed on them.\n95 Then Nabuchodonosor breaking forth, said: Blessed be the God of them, to wit, of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that believed in him: and they changed the king's word, and delivered up their bodies that they might not serve, nor adore any god, except their own God.\n96 By me therefore this decree is made, that every people, tribe, and tongue, which shall speak blasphemy against the God of Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, shall be destroyed, and their houses laid waste: for there is no other God that can save in this manner.\n97 Then the king promoted Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago, in the province of Babylon.\n98 Nabuchodonosor the king, to all peoples, nations, and tongues, that dwell in all the earth, peace be multiplied unto you.\n99 The most high God hath wrought signs and wonders toward me.

saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.\n3 And I will gather together the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands into which I have cast them out: and I will make them return to their own fields, and they shall increase and be multiplied.\n4 And I will set up pastors over them, and they shall feed them: they shall fear no more, and they shall not be dismayed: and none shall be wanting of their number, saith the Lord.\n5 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth.\n**6 In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: the Lord our just one.**\n7 Therefore behold the days to come, saith the Lord, and they shall say no more: The Lord liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt:\n8 But the Lord liveth, who hath brought out, and brought hither the seed of the house of Israel from the land of the north, and out of all the lands, to which I had cast them forth: and they shall dwell in their own land.\n9 To the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble: I am become as a drunken man, and as a man full of wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his holy words.\n10 Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike.\n11 For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord.\n12 Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.\n13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal, and deceived my people Israel.\n14 And I have seen the likeness of adulterers, and the way of lying in the prophets of Jerusalem: and they strengthened the hands of the wicked, that no man should return from his evil doings: they are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha.\n15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth into all the land.\n16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.\n17 They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil

And although there were so many, the net was not broken.\n12 Jesus saith to them: Come, and dine. And none of them who were at meat, durst ask him: Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.\n13 And Jesus cometh and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish in like manner.\n14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to his disciples, after he was risen from the dead.\n15 When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.\n16 He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.\n17 He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me? And he said to him: Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love thee. He said to him: Feed my sheep.\n18 Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not.\n19 And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had said this, he saith to him: Follow me.\n20 Peter turning about, saw that disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also leaned on his breast at supper, and said: Lord, who is he that shall betray thee?\n21 Him therefore when Peter had seen, he saith to Jesus: Lord, and what shall this man do?\n22 Jesus saith to him: So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee? follow thou me.\n23 This saying therefore went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. And Jesus did not say to him: He should not die; but, So I will have him to remain till I come, what is it to thee?\n24 This is that disciple who giveth testimony of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true.\n25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "What's the chapter and book tied to \"Neither could the children of Manasses overthrow these cities, but the Chanaanite began to dwell in his land.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The verse you've got in mind is from *Joshua*, chapter *17*.\n\nHere's the full rundown of the chapter:\n*Joshua Chapter 17*\n1 And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses (for he is the firstborn of Joseph) to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan.\n2 And to the rest of the children of Manasses according to their families: to the children of Abiezer, and to the children of Helec, and to the children of Esriel, and to the children of Sechem, and to the children of Hepher, and to the children of Semida: these are the male children of Manasses the son of Joseph, by their kindreds.\n3 But Salphaad the son of Hepher the son of Galaad the son of Machir the son of Manasses had no sons, but only daughters: whose names are these, Maala and Noa and Hegla and Melcha and Thersa.\n4 And they came in the presence of Eleazar the priest and of Josue the son of Nun, and of the princes, saying: The Lord commanded by the hand of Moses, that a possession should be given us in the midst of our brethren.

Josue, and said: Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to possess, whereas I am of so great a multitude, and the Lord hath blessed me?\n15 And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee.\n16 And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron.\n17 And Josue said to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasses: Thou art a great people, and of great strength, thou shalt not have one lot only:\n18 But thou shalt pass to the

Take you therefore money no more according to your order, but restore it for the repairing of the temple.\n8 And the priests were forbidden to take any more money of the people, and to make the repairs of the house.\n9 And Joiada the high priest took a chest and bored a hole in the top, and set it by the altar at the right hand of them that came into the house of the Lord, and the priests that kept the doors put therein all the money that was brought to the temple of the Lord.\n10 And when they saw that there was very much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and poured it out, and counted the money that was found in the house of the Lord:\n11 And they gave it out by number and measure into the hands of them that were over the builders of the house of the Lord: and they laid it out to the carpenters, and the masons that wrought in the house of the Lord,\n12 And made the repairs: and to them that cut stones, and to buy timber, and stones, to be hewed, that the repairs of the house of the Lord might be completely finished, and wheresoever there was need of expenses to uphold the house.\n13 But there were not made of the same money for the temple of the Lord, bowls, or fleshhooks, or censers, or trumpets, or any vessel of gold and silver, of the money that was brought into the temple of the Lord.\n14 For it was given to them that did the work, that the temple of the Lord might be repaired.\n15 And they reckoned not with the men that received the money to distribute it to the workmen, but they bestowed it faithfully.\n16 But the money for trespass, and the money for sins, they brought not into the temple of the Lord, because it was for the priests.\n17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up and fought against Geth, and took it and set his face to go up to Jerusalem.\n18 Wherefore Joas king of Juda took all the sanctified things, which Josaphat, and Joram, and Ochozias his fathers the kings of Juda had dedicated to holy uses, and which he himself had offered: and all the silver that could be found in the treasures of the temple of the Lord, and in the king's palace: and sent it to Hazael king of Syria, and he went off from Jerusalem.\n19 And the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?\n20 And his servants arose, and conspired among themselves, and slew Joas in the house of Mello in the descent of Sella.\n21 For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David, and Amasias his son reigned in his stead.\n", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Can you tell me the book, chapter, and verse for \"Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.\"?", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The passage \"Send therefore to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter: he lodgeth in the house of Simon a tanner, by the sea side.\" comes from Acts 10:32 in the New Testament.", "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "Acts 15:39 please", "role": "user" }, { "content": "In the New Testament, Acts chapter 15, verse 39 (Douay Rheims) says:\n\"And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another;
