As it is written G1125 in the prophets, G4396 Behold, G2400 I send G649 my messenger G32 before G4253 your face, G4383 which G3739 shall prepare G2680 your way G3598 before G1715 you.

John G2491 did baptize G907 in the wilderness, G2048 and preach G2784 the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 for the remission G859 of sins. G266

And John G2491 was clothed G1746 with camel's G2574 hair, G2359 and with a girdle G2223 of a skin G1193 about G4012 his loins; G3751 and he did eat G2068 locusts G200 and wild G66 honey; G3192

I indeed G3303 have baptized G907 you with water: G5204 but he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost. G4151

The voice H6963 of him that cries H7121 in the wilderness, H4057 Prepare H6437 you the way H1870 of the LORD, H3068 make straight H3474 in the desert H6160 a highway H4546 for our God. H430

And the glory H3519 of the LORD H3068 shall be revealed, H1540 and all H3605 flesh H1320 shall see H7200 it together: H3162 for the mouth H6310 of the LORD H3068 has spoken H1696 it.

And he shall turn H7725 the heart H3820 of the fathers H1 to the children, H1121 and the heart H3820 of the children H1121 to their fathers, H1 lest H6435 I come H935 and smite H5221 the earth H776 with a curse. H2764

In those G1565 days G2250 came G3854 John G2491 the Baptist, G910 preaching G2784 in the wilderness G2048 of Judaea, G2449

For this G3778 is he that was spoken G4483 of by the prophet G4396 Esaias, G2268 saying, G3004 The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

Then G5119 went G1607 out to him Jerusalem, G2414 and all G3956 Judaea, G2449 and all G3956 the region G4066 round G4066 about G4066 Jordan, G2446

But when he saw G1492 many G4183 of the Pharisees G5330 and Sadducees G4523 come G2064 to his baptism, G908 he said G2036 to them, O generation G1081 of vipers, G2191 who G5101 has warned G5263 you to flee G5343 from the wrath G3709 to come? G3195

And think G1380 not to say G3004 within G1722 yourselves, G1438 We have G2192 Abraham G11 to our father: G3962 for I say G3004 to you, that God G2316 is able G1410 of these G5130 stones G3037 to raise G1453 up children G5043 to Abraham. G11

I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water G5204 to repentance. G3341 but he that comes G2064 after G3694 me is mightier G2478 than I, whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to bear: G941 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and with fire: G4442

Now G1161 when John G2491 had heard G191 in the prison G1201 the works G2041 of Christ, G5547 he sent G3992 two G1417 of his disciples, G3101

Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 to them, Go G4198 and show G518 John G2491 again G518 those things which G3739 you do hear G191 and see: G991

And blessed G3107 is he, whoever G3739 G1437 shall not be offended G4624 in me.

But what G5101 went G1831 you out for to see? G1492 A man G444 clothed G294 in soft G3120 raiment? G2440 behold, G2400 they that wear G5409 soft G3120 clothing are in kings' G935 houses. G3624

For this G3778 is he, of whom G3739 it is written, G1125 Behold, G2400 I send G649 my messenger G32 before G4253 your face, G4383 which G3739 shall prepare G2680 your way G3598 before G1715 you.

And from the days G2250 of John G2491 the Baptist G910 until G2193 now G737 the kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 suffers G971 violence, G971 and the violent G973 take G726 it by force. G726

And if G1487 you will G2309 receive G1209 it, this G846 is Elias, G2243 which G3588 was for to come. G2064

But whereunto G5101 shall I liken G3666 this G5026 generation? G1074 It is like G3664 to children G3808 sitting G2521 in the markets, G58 and calling G4377 to their fellows, G2083

For John G2491 came G2064 neither G3383 eating G2068 nor G3383 drinking, G4095 and they say, G3004 He has G2192 a devil. G1140

And many G4183 of the children G5207 of Israel G2474 shall he turn G1994 to the Lord G2962 their God. G2316

And he shall go G4281 before G1799 him in the spirit G4151 and power G1411 of Elias, G2243 to turn G1994 the hearts G2588 of the fathers G3962 to the children, G5043 and the disobedient G545 to the wisdom G5428 of the just; G1342 to make G2090 ready G2090 a people G2992 prepared G2680 for the Lord. G2962

And you, child, G3813 shall be called G2564 the prophet G4396 of the Highest: G5310 for you shall go G4313 before G4253 the face G4383 of the Lord G2962 to prepare G2090 his ways; G3598

Annas G452 and Caiaphas G2533 being G1909 the high G749 priests, G749 the word G4487 of God G2316 came G1096 to John G2491 the son G5207 of Zacharias G2197 in the wilderness. G2048

As it is written G1125 in the book G976 of the words G3056 of Esaias G2268 the prophet, G4396 saying, G3004 The voice G5456 of one crying G994 in the wilderness, G2048 Prepare G2090 you the way G3598 of the Lord, G2962 make G4160 his paths G5147 straight. G2117

And all G3956 flesh G4561 shall see G3700 the salvation G4992 of God. G2316

There was a man G444 sent G649 from God, G2316 whose G846 name G3686 was John. G2491

He was not that Light, G5457 but was sent to bear G3140 witness G3140 of that Light. G5457

He was in the world, G2889 and the world G2889 was made G1096 by him, and the world G2889 knew G1097 him not.

But as many G3745 as received G2983 him, to them gave G1325 he power G1849 to become G1096 the sons G5043 of God, G2316 even to them that believe G4100 on G1519 his name: G3686

And the Word G3056 was made G1096 flesh, G4561 and dwelled G4637 among G1722 us, (and we beheld G2300 his glory, G1391 the glory G1391 as of the only G3439 begotten G3439 of the Father, G3962 ) full G4134 of grace G5485 and truth. G225

And of his fullness G4138 have G2192 all G3956 we received, G2983 and grace G5485 for grace. G5485

No G3762 man G3762 has seen G3708 God G2316 at G4455 any G4455 time, G4455 the only G3439 begotten G3439 Son, G5207 which G3588 is in the bosom G2859 of the Father, G3962 he has declared G1834 him.

And he confessed, G3670 and denied G720 not; but confessed, G3670 I am G1510 not the Christ. G5547

Then G3767 said G2036 they to him, Who G5101 are G1488 you? that we may give G1325 an answer G612 to them that sent G3992 us. What G5101 say G3004 you of yourself? G4572

And they which G3588 were sent G649 were of the Pharisees. G5330

John G2491 answered G611 them, saying, G3004 I baptize G907 with water: G5204 but there stands G2476 one among G1722 G5216 you, whom G3739 you know G1492 not;

These G5023 things were done G1096 in Bethabara G962 beyond G4008 Jordan, G2446 where G3699 John G2491 was baptizing. G907

This G3778 is he of whom G3739 I said, G2036 After G3694 me comes G2064 a man G435 which G3739 is preferred G1096 before G1715 me: for he was before G4413 me.

And John G2491 bore G3140 record, G3140 saying, G3004 I saw G2300 the Spirit G4151 descending G2597 from heaven G3772 like G5616 a dove, G4058 and it stayed G3306 on him.

And I saw, G3708 and bore G3140 record G3140 that this G3778 is the Son G5207 of God. G2316

And looking G1689 on Jesus G2424 as he walked, G4043 he said, G3004 Behold G2396 the Lamb G286 of God! G2316

John G2491 answered G611 and said, G2036 A man G444 can G1410 receive G2983 nothing, G3762 except G3362 it be given G1325 him from heaven. G3772

He that has G2192 the bride G3565 is the bridegroom: G3566 but the friend G5384 of the bridegroom, G3566 which G3588 stands G2476 and hears G191 him, rejoices G5463 greatly G5479 because G1223 of the bridegroom's G3566 voice: G5456 this G3778 my joy G5479 therefore G3767 is fulfilled. G4137

To the chief H5329 Musician H5329 upon Aijeleth H365 Shahar, H7842 A Psalm H4210 of David. H1732 My God, H410 my God, H410 why H4100 have you forsaken H5800 me? why are you so far H7350 from helping H3467 me, and from the words H1697 of my roaring? H7581

But you are holy, H6918 O you that inhabit H3427 the praises H8416 of Israel. H3478

They cried H2199 to you, and were delivered: H4422 they trusted H982 in you, and were not confounded. H954

All H3605 they that see H7200 me laugh H3932 me to scorn: they shoot H6362 out the lip, H8193 they shake H5128 the head, H7218 saying,

But you are he that took H1518 me out of the womb: H990 you did make me hope H982 when I was on my mother's H517 breasts. H7699

Be not far H7368 from me; for trouble H6869 is near; H7138 for there is none H369 to help. H5826

They gaped H6475 on me with their mouths, H6310 as a ravening H2963 and a roaring H7580 lion. H738

My strength H3581 is dried H3001 up like a potsherd; H2789 and my tongue H3956 sticks H1692 to my jaws; H4455 and you have brought H8239 me into the dust H6083 of death. H4194

I may tell H5608 all H3605 my bones: H6106 they look H5027 and stare H7200 on me.

But be not you far H7368 from me, O LORD: H3068 O my strength, H360 haste H2363 you to help H5833 me.

Save H3467 me from the lion's H738 mouth: H6310 for you have heard H6030 me from the horns H7161 of the unicorns. H7214

You that fear H3373 the LORD, H3068 praise H1984 him; all H3605 you the seed H2233 of Jacob, H3290 glorify H3513 him; and fear H1481 him, all H3605 you the seed H2233 of Israel. H3478

My praise H8416 shall be of you in the great H7227 congregation: H6951 I will pay H7999 my vows H5088 before H5048 them that fear H3373 him.

All H3605 the ends H657 of the world H776 shall remember H2142 and turn H7725 to the LORD: H3068 and all H3605 the kindreds H4940 of the nations H1471 shall worship H7812 before H6440 you.

All H3605 they that be fat H1879 on earth H776 shall eat H398 and worship: H7812 all H3605 they that go H3381 down H3381 to the dust H6083 shall bow H3766 before H6440 him: and none H3808 can keep alive H2421 his own soul. H5315

They shall come, H935 and shall declare H5046 his righteousness H6666 to a people H5971 that shall be born, H3205 that he has done H6213 this.

To the chief H5329 Musician H5329 upon Shoshannim, H7799 A Psalm of David. H1732 Save H3467 me, O God; H430 for the waters H4325 are come H935 in to my soul. H5315

I am weary H3021 of my crying: H7121 my throat H1627 is dried: H2787 my eyes H5869 fail H3615 while I wait H3176 for my God. H430

O God, H430 you know H3045 my foolishness; H200 and my sins H819 are not hid H3582 from you.

Because H3588 for your sake H5921 I have borne H5375 reproach; H2781 shame H3639 has covered H3680 my face. H6440

For the zeal H7068 of your house H1004 has eaten H398 me up; and the reproaches H2781 of them that reproached H2778 you are fallen H5307 on me.

I made H5414 sackcloth H8242 also my garment; H3830 and I became H1961 a proverb H4912 to them.

But as for me, my prayer H8605 is to you, O LORD, H3068 in an acceptable H7522 time: H6256 O God, H430 in the multitude H7230 of your mercy H2617 hear H6030 me, in the truth H571 of your salvation. H3468

Let not the flood H7641 H4325 overflow H7857 me, neither H408 let the deep H4688 swallow H1104 me up, and let not the pit H875 shut H332 her mouth H6310 on me.

And hide H5641 not your face H6440 from your servant; H5650 for I am in trouble: H6887 hear H6030 me speedily. H4118

You have known H3045 my reproach, H2781 and my shame, H1322 and my dishonor: H3639 my adversaries H6887 are all H3605 before H5048 you.

They gave H5414 me also gall H7219 for my meat; H1267 and in my thirst H6772 they gave me vinegar H2558 to drink. H8248

Let their eyes H5869 be darkened, H2821 that they see H7200 not; and make their loins H4975 continually H8548 to shake. H4571

Let their habitation H2918 be desolate; H8074 and let none H408 dwell H3427 in their tents. H168

Add H5414 iniquity H5771 to their iniquity: H5771 and let them not come H935 into your righteousness. H6666

But I am poor H6041 and sorrowful: H3510 let your salvation, H3444 O God, H430 set me up on high. H7682

This also shall please H3190 the LORD H3068 better H3190 than an ox H7794 or bullock H6499 that has horns H7160 and hoofs. H6536

For the LORD H3068 hears H8085 the poor, H34 and despises H959 not his prisoners. H615

For God H430 will save H3467 Zion, H6726 and will build H1129 the cities H5892 of Judah: H3063 that they may dwell H3427 there, and have it in possession. H3423

Who H4310 has believed H539 our report? H8052 and to whom H4310 is the arm H2220 of the LORD H3068 revealed? H1540

He is despised H959 and rejected H2310 of men; H376 a man H376 of sorrows, H4341 and acquainted H3045 with grief: H2483 and we hid H5641 as it were our faces H6440 from him; he was despised, H959 and we esteemed H2803 him not.

But he was wounded H2490 for our transgressions, H6588 he was bruised H1792 for our iniquities: H5771 the chastisement H4148 of our peace H7965 was on him; and with his stripes H2250 we are healed. H7495

He was oppressed, H5065 and he was afflicted, H6031 yet he opened H6605 not his mouth: H6310 he is brought H2986 as a lamb H7716 to the slaughter, H2874 and as a sheep H7353 before H6440 her shearers H1494 is dumb, H481 so he opens H6605 not his mouth. H6310

And he made H5414 his grave H6913 with the wicked, H7563 and with the rich H6223 in his death; H4194 because H5921 he had done H6213 no H3808 violence, H2555 neither H3808 was any deceit H4820 in his mouth. H6310

He shall see H7200 of the travail H5999 of his soul, H5315 and shall be satisfied: H7646 by his knowledge H1847 shall my righteous H6662 servant H5650 justify H6663 many; H7227 for he shall bear H5445 their iniquities. H5771

Seventy H7657 weeks H7620 are determined H2852 on your people H5971 and on your holy H6944 city, H5892 to finish H3607 the transgression, H6588 and to make an end H2856 of sins, H2403 and to make reconciliation H3722 for iniquity, H5771 and to bring H935 in everlasting H5769 righteousness, H6664 and to seal H2856 up the vision H2377 and prophecy, H5030 and to anoint H4886 the most H6944 Holy. H6944

And after H310 three score H8346 and two H8147 weeks H7620 shall Messiah H4899 be cut H3772 off, but not for himself: and the people H5971 of the prince H5057 that shall come H935 shall destroy H7843 the city H5892 and the sanctuary; H6944 and the end H7093 thereof shall be with a flood, H7858 and to the end H7093 of the war H4421 desolations H8074 are determined. H2782

Awake, H5782 O sword, H2719 against H5921 my shepherd, H7462 and against H5921 the man H1397 that is my fellow, H5997 said H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 smite H5221 the shepherd, H7462 and the sheep H6629 shall be scattered: H6327 and I will turn H7725 my hand H3027 on the little H6819 ones.

But I am a worm, H8438 and no H3808 man; H376 a reproach H2781 of men, H120 and despised H959 of the people. H5971

All H3605 they that see H7200 me laugh H3932 me to scorn: they shoot H6362 out the lip, H8193 they shake H5128 the head, H7218 saying,

They that sit H3427 in the gate H8179 speak H7878 against me; and I was the song H5058 of the drunkards. H8354 H7941

Arise, H6965 O God, H430 plead H7378 your own cause: H7379 remember H2142 how the foolish H5036 man reproaches H2781 you daily. H3605 H3117

Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 the Redeemer H1350 of Israel, H3478 and his Holy H6918 One, to him whom man H5315 despises, H960 to him whom the nation H1471 abhors, H8581 to a servant H5650 of rulers, H4910 Kings H4428 shall see H7200 and arise, H6965 princes H8269 also shall worship, H7812 because H4616 of the LORD H3068 that is faithful, H539 and the Holy H6918 One of Israel, H3478 and he shall choose H977 you.

I gave H5414 my back H1458 to the smiters, H5221 and my cheeks H3895 to them that plucked H4803 off the hair: I hid H5641 not my face H6440 from shame H3639 and spitting. H7536

As many H7227 were astonished H8074 at you; his visage H4758 was so marred H4893 more than any man, H376 and his form H8389 more than the sons H1121 of men: H120

Who H4310 has believed H539 our report? H8052 and to whom H4310 is the arm H2220 of the LORD H3068 revealed? H1540

He is despised H959 and rejected H2310 of men; H376 a man H376 of sorrows, H4341 and acquainted H3045 with grief: H2483 and we hid H5641 as it were our faces H6440 from him; he was despised, H959 and we esteemed H2803 him not.

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to me, Cast H7993 it to the potter: H3335 a goodly H145 price H3365 that I was priced H3365 at of them. And I took H3947 the thirty H7970 pieces of silver, H3701 and cast H7993 them to the potter H3335 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068

And Herod G2264 with his men G4753 of war G4753 set G1848 him at G1848 nothing, G1848 and mocked G1702 him, and arrayed G4016 him in a gorgeous G2986 robe, G2066 and sent G375 him again G375 to Pilate. G4091

And one G1520 of the malefactors G2557 which were hanged G2910 railed G987 on him, saying, G3004 If G1487 you be Christ, G5547 save G4982 yourself G4572 and us.

But made G1096 himself G1438 of no G5013 reputation, G2758 and took G2983 on him the form G3444 of a servant, G1401 and was made G1096 in the likeness G3667 of men: G444

And being found G2147 in fashion G4976 as a man, G444 he humbled G5013 himself, G1438 and became G1096 obedient G5255 to death, G2288 even G1161 the death G2288 of the cross. G4716
