| Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God--That Thomas did not do what Jesus invited him to do, and what he had made the condition of his believing, seems plain from Joh 20:29 ("Because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed"). He is overpowered, and the glory of Christ now breaks upon him in a flood. His exclamation surpasses all that had been yet uttered, nor can it be surpassed by anything that ever will be uttered in earth or heaven. On the striking parallel in Nathanael, see on Joh 1:49. The Socinian invasion of the supreme divinity of Christ here manifestly taught--as if it were a mere call upon God in a fit of astonishment--is beneath notice, save for the profanity it charges upon this disciple, and the straits to which it shows themselves reduced. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
My Lord and my God - In this passage the name God is expressly given to Christ, in his own presence and by one of his own apostles. This declaration has been considered as a clear proof of the divinity of Christ, for the following reasons:
1. There is no evidence that this was a mere expression, as some have supposed, of surprise or astonishment.
2. The language was addressed to Jesus himself - "Thomas ...said unto him."
3. The Saviour did not reprove him or check him as using any improper language. If he had not been divine, it is impossible to reconcile it with his honesty that he did not rebuke the disciple. No pious man would have allowed such language to be addressed to him. Compare Act 14:13-15; Rev 22:8-9.
4. The Saviour proceeds immediately to commend Thomas for believing; but what was the evidence of his believing? It was this declaration, and this only. If this was a mere exclamation of surprise, what proof was it that Thomas believed? Before this he doubted. Now he believed, and gave utterance to his belief, that Jesus was his Lord and his God.
5. If this was not the meaning of Thomas, then his exclamation was a mere act of profaneness, and the Saviour would not have commended him for taking the name of the Lord his God in vain. The passage proves, therefore, that it is proper to apply to Christ the name Lord and God, and thus accords with what John affirmed in Joh 1:1, and which is established throughout this gospel. |

My Lord and My God
The deity of Jesus Christ is declared in Scripture:
(1) In the intimations and explicit predictions of the Old Testament.
(a) The theophanies intimate the appearance of God in human form, and His ministry thus to man (Gen 16:7-13); (Gen 18:2-23) especially; (Gen 18:17); (Gen 32:28) with; (Hos 12:3-5); (Exo 3:2-14).
(b) The Messiah is expressly declared to be the Son of God (Psa 2:2-9) and God; (Psa 45:6); (Psa 45:7); (Heb 1:8); (Heb 1:9); (Psa 110:1); (Mat 22:44); (Act 2:34); (Heb 1:13); (Psa 110:4); (Heb 5:6); (Heb 6:20); (Heb 7:17-21); (Zac 6:13).
(c) His virgin birth was foretold as the means through which God could be "Immanuel," God with us; (Isa 7:13); (Isa 7:14); (Mat 1:22); (Mat 1:23).
(d) The Messiah is expressly invested with the divine names (Isa 9:6); (Isa 9:7).
(e) In a prophecy of His death He is called Jehovah's "fellow"; (Zac 13:7); (Mat 26:31).
(f) His eternal being is declared; (Mic 5:2); (Mat 2:6); (Joh 7:42).
(2) Christ Himself affirmed His deity.
(a) He applied to Himself the Jehovistic I AM. (The pronoun "he" is not in the Greek;
Compare (Joh 8:24); (Joh 8:56-58). The Jews correctly understood this to be our Lord's claim to full deity. (Joh 8:59).
See also, (Joh 10:33); (Joh 18:4-6) where, also, "he" is not in the original.)
(b) He claimed to be the Adonai of the Old Testament (Mat 22:42-45).
(See Scofield) - (Gen 15:2).
(c) He asserted His identity with the Father; (Mat 28:19); (Mar 14:62); (Joh 10:30); that the Jews so understood Him is shown by; (Joh 10:31); (Joh 10:32); (Joh 14:8); (Joh 14:9); (Joh 14:17); (Joh 14:5).
(d) He exercised the chief prerogative of God; (Mar 2:5-7); (Luk 7:48-50).
(e) He asserted omnipresence; (Mat 18:20); (Joh 3:13) omniscience, (Joh 11:11-14); when Jesus was fifty miles away; (Mar 11:6-8); omnipotence; (Mat 28:18); (Luk 7:14); (Joh 5:21-23); (Joh 6:19); mastery over nature, and creative power; (Luk 9:16); (Luk 9:17); (Joh 2:9); (Joh 10:28).
(f) He received and approved human worship, (Mat 14:33); (Mat 28:9); (Joh 20:28); (Joh 20:29).
(3) The New Testament writers ascribe divine titles to Christ: (Joh 1:1); (Joh 20:28); (Act 20:28); (Rom 1:4); (Rom 9:5); (Th2 1:12); (Ti1 3:16); (Tit 2:13); (Heb 1:8); (Jo1 5:20).
(4) The New Testament writers ascribe divine perfections and attributes to Christ (for example) (Mat 11:28); (Mat 18:20); (Mat 28:20); (Joh 1:2); (Joh 2:23-25); (Joh 3:13); (Joh 5:17); (Joh 21:17); (Heb 1:3); (Heb 1:11); (Heb 1:12); (Heb 13:8); (Rev 1:8); (Rev 1:17); (Rev 1:18); (Rev 2:23); (Rev 11:17); (Rev 22:13).
(5) The New Testament writers ascribe divine works to Christ (Joh 1:3); (Joh 1:10); (Col 1:16); (Col 1:17); (Heb 1:3).
(6) The New Testament writers teach that supreme worship should be paid to Christ (Act 7:59); (Act 7:60); (Co1 1:2); (Co2 13:14); (Phi 2:9); (Phi 2:10); (Heb 1:6); (Rev 1:5); (Rev 1:6); (Rev 5:12); (Rev 5:13).
(7) The holiness and resurrection of Christ prove His deity (Joh 8:46); (Rom 1:4). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| And Thomas said, My Lord and my God - The disciples had said, We have seen the Lord. Thomas now not only acknowledges him to be the Lord, as he had done before, and to be risen, as his fellow disciples had affirmed, but also confesses his Godhead, and that more explicitly than any other had yet done. And all this he did without putting his hand upon his side. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| Thomas answered, etc. - Those who deny the Godhead of Christ would have us to believe that these words are an exclamation of Thomas, made through surprise, and that they were addressed to the Father and not to Christ. Theodore of Mopsuestia was the first, I believe, who gave the words this turn; and the fifth Ecumenic council, held at Constantinople, anathematized him for it. This was not according to the spirit of the Gospel of God. However, a man must do violence to every rule of construction who can apply the address here to any but Christ. The text is plain: Jesus comes in - sees Thomas, and addresses him; desiring him to come to him, and put his finger into the print of the nails, etc. Thomas, perfectly satisfied of the reality of our Lord's resurrection, says unto him, - My Lord! and My God! i.e. Thou art indeed the very same person, - my Lord whose disciple I have so long been; and thou art my God, henceforth the object of my religious adoration. Thomas was the first who gave the title of God to Jesus; and, by this glorious confession, made some amends for his former obstinate incredulity. It is worthy of remark, that from this time forward the whole of the disciples treated our Lord with the most supreme respect, never using that familiarity towards him which they had often used before. The resurrection from the dead gave them the fullest proof of the divinity of Christ. And this, indeed, is the use which St. John makes of this manifestation of Christ. See Joh 20:30, Joh 20:31. Bishop Pearce says here: "Observe that Thomas calls Jesus his God, and that Jesus does not reprove him for it, though probably it was the first time he was called so." And, I would ask, could Jesus be jealous of the honor of the true God - could he be a prophet - could he be even an honest man, to permit his disciple to indulge in a mistake so monstrous and destructive, if it had been one? |
49 Nathanael [3482] answered [611] and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], thou [4771] art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316]; thou [4771] art [1488] the King [935] of Israel [2474].
29 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thomas [2381], because [3754] thou hast seen [3708] me [3165], thou hast believed [4100]: blessed [3107] are they that have not [3361] seen [1492], and [2532] yet have believed [4100].
1 In [1722] the beginning [746] was [2258] the Word [3056], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] with [4314] God [2316], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] God [2316].
8 And [2532] I [1473] John [2491] saw [991] these things [5023], and [2532] heard [191] them. And [2532] when [3753] I had heard [191] and [2532] seen [991], I fell down [4098] to worship [4352] before [1715] the feet [4228] of the angel [32] which [3588] shewed [1166] me [3427] these things [5023].
9 Then [2532] saith he [3004] unto me [3427], See [3708] thou do it not [3361]: for [1063] I am [1510] thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], and [2532] of thy [4675] brethren [80] the prophets [4396], and [2532] of them which keep [5083] the sayings [3056] of this [5127] book [975]: worship [4352] God [2316].
13 Then [1161] the priest [2409] of Jupiter [2203], which [3588] was [5607] before [4253] their [846] city [4172], brought [5342] oxen [5022] and [2532] garlands [4725] unto [1909] the gates [4440], and would [2309] have done sacrifice [2380] with [4862] the people [3793].
14 Which when [1161] the apostles [652], Barnabas [921] and [2532] Paul [3972], heard [191] of, they rent [1284] their [846] clothes [2440], and ran [1530] in among [1519] the people [3793], crying out [2896],
15 And [2532] saying [3004], Sirs [435], why [5101] do ye [4160] these things [5130]? We [2249] also [2532] are [2070] men [444] of like passions [3663] with you [5213], and preach [2097] unto you [5209] that ye should turn [1994] from [575] these [5023] vanities [3152] unto [1909] the living [2198] God [2316], which [3739] made [4160] heaven [3772], and [2532] earth [1093], and [2532] the sea [2281], and [2532] all things [3956] that are therein [1722] [846]:
4 And declared [3724] to be the Son [5207] of God [2316] with [1722] power [1411], according [2596] to the spirit [4151] of holiness [42], by [1537] the resurrection [386] from the dead [3498]:
46 Which [5101] of [1537] you [5216] convinceth [1651] me [3165] of [4012] sin [266]? And [1161] if [1487] I say [3004] the truth [225], why [1302] do [4100] ye [5210] not [3756] believe [4100] me [3427]?
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
12 Saying [3004] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Worthy [514] is [2076] the Lamb [721] that was slain [4969] to receive [2983] power [1411], and [2532] riches [4149], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] strength [2479], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] blessing [2129].
6 And [2532] hath made [4160] us [2248] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409] unto God [2316] and [2532] his [846] Father [3962]; to him [846] be glory [1391] and [2532] dominion [2904] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
5 And [2532] from [575] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], who is the faithful [4103] witness [3144], and the first begotten [4416] of [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] the prince [758] of the kings [935] of the earth [1093]. Unto him that loved [25] us [2248], and [2532] washed [3068] us [2248] from [575] our [2257] sins [266] in [1722] his own [846] blood [129],
6 And [1161] again [3825], when [3752] he bringeth in [1521] the firstbegotten [4416] into [1519] the world [3625], he saith [3004], And [2532] let [4352] all [3956] the angels [32] of God [2316] worship [4352] him [846].
10 That [2443] at [1722] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] every [3956] knee [1119] should bow [2578], of things in heaven [2032], and [2532] things in earth [1919], and [2532] things under the earth [2709];
9 Wherefore [1352] God [2316] also [2532] hath highly exalted [5251] him [846], and [2532] given [5483] him [846] a name [3686] which [3588] is above [5228] every [3956] name [3686]:
14 The grace [5485] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] the love [26] of God [2316], and [2532] the communion [2842] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], be with [3326] you [5216] all [3956]. Amen [281].
2 Unto the church [1577] of God [2316] which [3588] is [5607] at [1722] Corinth [2882], to them that are sanctified [37] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424], called [2822] to be saints [40], with [4862] all [3956] that in [1722] every [3956] place [5117] call upon [1941] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962], both [5037] theirs [846] and [2532] ours [2257]:
60 And [1161] he kneeled down [5087] [1119], and cried [2896] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Lord [2962], lay [2476] not [3361] this [5026] sin [266] to their [846] charge. And [2532] when he had said [2036] this [5124], he fell asleep [2837].
59 And [2532] they stoned [3036] Stephen [4736], calling upon [1941] God, and [2532] saying [3004], Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], receive [1209] my [3450] spirit [4151].
3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308];
17 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] before [4253] all things [3956], and [2532] by [1722] him [846] all things [3956] consist [4921].
16 For [3754] by [1722] him [846] were [2936] all things [3956] created [2936], that are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] that are in [1909] earth [1093], visible [3707] and [2532] invisible [517], whether [1535] they be thrones [2362], or [1535] dominions [2963], or [1535] principalities [746], or [1535] powers [1849]: all things [3956] were created [2936] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] for [1519] him [846]:
10 He was [2258] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] the world [2889] was made [1096] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] the world [2889] knew [1097] him [846] not [3756].
3 All things [3956] were made [1096] by [1223] him [846]; and [2532] without [5565] him [846] was [1096] not [3761] any thing [1520] made [1096] that [3739] was made [1096].
13 I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the beginning [746] and [2532] the end [5056], the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078].
17 Saying [3004], We give [2168] thee [4671] thanks [2168], O Lord [2962] God [2316] Almighty [3841], which [3588] art [5607] [3801], and [2532] wast [2258] [3801], and [2532] art to come [2064] [3801]; because [3754] thou hast taken to thee [2983] thy [4675] great [3173] power [1411], and [2532] hast reigned [936].
23 And [2532] I will kill [615] her [846] children [5043] with [1722] death [2288]; and [2532] all [3956] the churches [1577] shall know [1097] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he which [3588] searcheth [2045] the reins [3510] and [2532] hearts [2588]: and [2532] I will give [1325] unto every one [1538] of you [5213] according to [2596] your [5216] works [2041].
18 [2532] I am he that liveth [2198], and [2532] was [1096] dead [3498]; and [2532], behold [2400], I am [1510] alive [2198] for [1519] evermore [165] [165], Amen [281]; and [2532] have [2192] the keys [2807] of hell [86] and [2532] of death [2288].
17 And [2532] when [3753] I saw [1492] him [846], I fell [4098] at [4314] his [846] feet [4228] as [5613] dead [3498]. And [2532] he laid [2007] his [846] right [1188] hand [5495] upon [1909] me [1691], saying [3004] unto me [3427], Fear [5399] not [3361]; I [1473] am [1510] the first [4413] and [2532] the last [2078]:
8 I [1473] am [1510] Alpha [1] and [2532] Omega [5598], the beginning [746] and [2532] the ending [5056], saith [3004] the Lord [2962], which [3588] is [5607] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] was [2258] [3801], and [2532] which [3588] is to come [2064] [3801], the Almighty [3841].
8 Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] the same [846] yesterday [5504], and [2532] to day [4594], and [2532] for [1519] ever [165].
12 And [2532] as [5616] a vesture [4018] shalt thou fold [1667] them [846] up [1667], and [2532] they shall be changed [236]: but [1161] thou [4771] art [1488] the same [846], and [2532] thy [4675] years [2094] shall [1587] not [3756] fail [1587].
11 They [846] shall perish [622]; but [1161] thou [4771] remainest [1265]; and [2532] they all [3956] shall wax old [3822] as [5613] doth a garment [2440];
3 Who [3739] being [5607] the brightness [541] of his glory [1391], and [2532] the express image [5481] of his [846] person [5287], and [5037] upholding [5342] all things [3956] by the word [4487] of his [846] power [1411], when he had [4160] [2512] by [1223] himself [1438] purged [4160] [2512] our [2257] sins [266], sat down [2523] on [1722] the right hand [1188] of the Majesty [3172] on [1722] high [5308];
17 He saith [3004] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Simon [4613], son of Jonas [2495], lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? Peter [4074] was grieved [3076] because [3754] he said [2036] unto him [846] the third [5154] time, Lovest [5368] thou me [3165]? And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Lord [2962], thou [4771] knowest [1492] all things [3956]; thou [4771] knowest [1097] that [3754] I love [5368] thee [4571]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Feed [1006] my [3450] sheep [4263].
17 But [1161] Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], My [3450] Father [3962] worketh [2038] hitherto [2193] [737], and I [2504] work [2038].
13 And [2532] no man [3762] hath ascended up [305] to [1519] heaven [3772], but [1508] he that came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], even the Son [5207] of man [444] which [3588] is [5607] in [1722] heaven [3772].
23 Now [1161] when [5613] he was [2258] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] the passover [3957], in [1722] the feast [1859] day, many [4183] believed [4100] in [1519] his [846] name [3686], when they saw [2334] the miracles [846] [4592] which [3739] he did [4160].
24 But [1161] Jesus [2424] [846] did [4100] not [3756] commit [4100] himself [1438] unto them [846], because [1223] he [846] knew [1097] all [3956] men,
25 And [2532] [3754] needed [5532] [2192] not [3756] that [2443] any [5100] should testify [3140] of [4012] man [444]: for [1063] he [846] knew [1097] what [5101] was [2258] in [1722] man [444].
2 The same [3778] was [2258] in [1722] the beginning [746] with [4314] God [2316].
20 Teaching [1321] them [846] to observe [5083] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] I have commanded [1781] you [5213]: and [2532], lo [2400], I [1473] am [1510] with [3326] you [5216] alway [3956] [2250], even unto [2193] the end [4930] of the world [165]. Amen [281].
20 For [1063] where [3757] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] are [1526] gathered together [4863] in [1519] my [1699] name [3686], there [1563] am I [1510] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846].
28 Come [1205] unto [4314] me [3165], all [3956] ye that labour [2872] and [2532] are heavy laden [5412], and I [2504] will give [373] you [5209] rest [373].
20 And [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] the Son [5207] of God [2316] is come [2240], and [2532] hath given [1325] us [2254] an understanding [1271], that [2443] we may know [1097] him that is true [228], and [2532] we are [2070] in [1722] him that is true [228], even in [1722] his [846] Son [5207] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]. This [3778] is [2076] the true [228] God [2316], and [2532] eternal [166] life [2222].
8 But [1161] unto [4314] the Son [5207] he saith, Thy [4675] throne [2362], O God [2316], is for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]: a sceptre [4464] of righteousness [2118] is the sceptre [4464] of thy [4675] kingdom [932].
13 Looking for [4327] that blessed [3107] hope [1680], and [2532] the glorious [1391] appearing [2015] of the great [3173] God [2316] and [2532] our [2257] Saviour [4990] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547];
16 And [2532] without controversy [3672] great [3173] is [2076] the mystery [3466] of godliness [2150]: God [2316] was manifest [5319] in [1722] the flesh [4561], justified [1344] in [1722] the Spirit [4151], seen [3700] of angels [32], preached [2784] unto [1722] the Gentiles [1484], believed on [4100] in [1722] the world [2889], received up [353] into [1722] glory [1391].
12 That [3704] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] may be glorified [1740] in [1722] you [5213], and [2532] ye [5210] in [1722] him [846], according to [2596] the grace [5485] of our [2257] God [2316] and [2532] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].
5 Whose [3739] are the fathers [3962], and [2532] of [1537] whom [3739] as concerning [2596] the flesh [4561] Christ [5547] came, who [5607] is over [1909] all [3956], God [2316] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
4 And declared [3724] to be the Son [5207] of God [2316] with [1722] power [1411], according [2596] to the spirit [4151] of holiness [42], by [1537] the resurrection [386] from the dead [3498]:
28 Take heed [4337] therefore [3767] unto yourselves [1438], and [2532] to all [3956] the flock [4168], over [1722] the which [3739] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] hath made [5087] you [5209] overseers [1985], to feed [4165] the church [1577] of God [2316], which [3739] he hath purchased [4046] with [1223] his own [2398] blood [129].
28 And [2532] Thomas [2381] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], My [3450] Lord [2962] and [2532] my [3450] God [2316].
1 In [1722] the beginning [746] was [2258] the Word [3056], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] with [4314] God [2316], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] God [2316].
29 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Thomas [2381], because [3754] thou hast seen [3708] me [3165], thou hast believed [4100]: blessed [3107] are they that have not [3361] seen [1492], and [2532] yet have believed [4100].
28 And [2532] Thomas [2381] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], My [3450] Lord [2962] and [2532] my [3450] God [2316].
9 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] to tell [518] his [846] disciples [3101], [2532] behold [2400], Jesus [2424] met [528] them [846], saying [3004], All hail [5463]. And [1161] they came [4334] and held [2902] him [846] by the feet [4228], and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846].
33 Then [1161] they that were in [1722] the ship [4143] came [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Of a truth [230] thou art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316].
28 And I [2504] give [1325] unto them [846] eternal [166] life [2222]; and [2532] they shall [622] never [3364] [1519] [165] perish [622], neither [2532] [3756] shall [726] any [5100] man pluck [726] them [846] out of [1537] my [3450] hand [5495].
9 [1161] When [5613] the ruler of the feast [755] had tasted [1089] the water [5204] that was made [1096] wine [3631], and [2532] knew [1492] not [3756] whence [4159] it was [2076]: (but [1161] the servants [1249] which [3588] drew [501] the water [5204] knew [1492] the governor of the feast [755] called [5455] the bridegroom [3566],
17 And [2532] they did eat [5315], and [2532] were [5526] all [3956] filled [5526]: and [2532] there was taken up [142] of fragments [2801] that remained [4052] to them [846] twelve [1427] baskets [2894].
16 Then [1161] he took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127] them [846], and [2532] brake [2622], and [2532] gave [1325] to the disciples [3101] to set before [3908] the multitude [3793].
19 So [3767] when they had rowed [1643] about [5613] five [4002] and twenty [1501] or [2228] thirty [5144] furlongs [4712], they see [2334] Jesus [2424] walking [4043] on [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] drawing [1096] nigh [1451] unto the ship [4143]: and [2532] they were afraid [5399].
21 For [1063] as [5618] the Father [3962] raiseth up [1453] the dead [3498], and [2532] quickeneth [2227] them; even [2532] so [3779] the Son [5207] quickeneth [2227] whom [3739] he will [2309].
22 For [1063] [3761] the Father [3962] judgeth [2919] no man [3762], but [235] hath committed [1325] all [3956] judgment [2920] unto the Son [5207]:
23 That [2443] all [3956] men should honour [5091] the Son [5207], even as [2531] they honour [5091] the Father [3962]. He that honoureth [5091] not [3361] the Son [5207] honoureth [5091] not [3756] the Father [3962] which [3588] hath sent [3992] him [846].
14 And [2532] he came [4334] and touched [680] the bier [4673]: and [1161] they that bare [941] him stood still [2476]. And [2532] he said [2036], Young man [3495], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Arise [1453].
18 And [2532] Jesus [2424] came [4334] and spake [2980] unto them [846], saying [3004], All [3956] power [1849] is given [1325] unto me [3427] in [1722] heaven [3772] and [2532] in [1909] earth [1093].
6 And [1161] they said [2036] unto them [846] even as [2531] Jesus [2424] had commanded [1781]: and [2532] they let [863] them [846] go [863].
7 And [2532] they brought [71] the colt [4454] to [4314] Jesus [2424], and [2532] cast [1911] their [846] garments [2440] on [1911] him [846]; and [2532] he sat [2523] upon [1909] him [846].
8 And [1161] many [4183] spread [4766] their [846] garments [2440] in [1519] the way [3598]: and [1161] others [243] cut down [2875] branches [4746] off [1537] the trees [1186], and [2532] strawed [4766] them in [1519] the way [3598].
11 These things [5023] said [2036] he [846]: and [2532] after [3326] that [5124] he saith [3004] unto them [846], Our [2257] friend [5384] Lazarus [2976] sleepeth [2837]; but [235] I go [4198], that [2443] I may awake [1852] him [846] out of sleep [1852].
12 Then [3767] said [2036] his [846] disciples [3101], Lord [2962], if [1487] he sleep [2837], he shall do well [4982].
13 Howbeit [1161] Jesus [2424] spake [2046] of [4012] his [846] death [2288]: but [1161] they [1565] thought [1380] that [3754] he had spoken [3004] of [4012] taking of rest [2838] in sleep [5258].
14 Then [5119] [3767] said [2036] Jesus [2424] unto them [846] plainly [3954], Lazarus [2976] is dead [599].
13 And [2532] no man [3762] hath ascended up [305] to [1519] heaven [3772], but [1508] he that came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], even the Son [5207] of man [444] which [3588] is [5607] in [1722] heaven [3772].
20 For [1063] where [3757] two [1417] or [2228] three [5140] are [1526] gathered together [4863] in [1519] my [1699] name [3686], there [1563] am I [1510] in [1722] the midst [3319] of them [846].
48 And [1161] he said [2036] unto her [846], Thy [4675] sins [266] are forgiven [863].
49 And [2532] they that sat at meat with him [4873] began [756] to say [3004] within [1722] themselves [1438], Who [5101] is [2076] this [3778] that [3739] forgiveth [863] sins [266] also [2532]?
50 And [1161] he said [2036] to [4314] the woman [1135], Thy [4675] faith [4102] hath saved [4982] thee [4571]; go [4198] in [1519] peace [1515].
5 When [1161] Jesus [2424] saw [1492] their [846] faith [4102], he said [3004] unto the sick of the palsy [3885], Son [5043], thy [4675] sins [266] be forgiven [863] thee [4671].
6 But [1161] there were [2258] certain [5100] of the scribes [1122] sitting [2521] there [1563], and [2532] reasoning [1260] in [1722] their [846] hearts [2588],
7 Why [5101] doth [2980] this [3778] man thus [3779] speak [2980] blasphemies [988]? who [5101] can [1410] forgive [863] sins [266] but [1508] God [2316] only [1520]?
5 Thomas [2381] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], we know [1492] not [3756] whither [4226] thou goest [5217]; and [2532] how [4459] can we [1410] know [1492] the way [3598]?
17 Even the Spirit [4151] of truth [225]; whom [3739] the world [2889] cannot [3756] [1410] receive [2983], because [3754] it seeth [2334] him [846] not [3756], neither [3761] knoweth [1097] him [846]: but [1161] ye [5210] know [1097] him [846]; for [3754] he dwelleth [3306] with [3844] you [5213], and [2532] shall be [2071] in [1722] you [5213].
9 Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto him [846], Have I been [1510] so long [5118] time [5550] with [3326] you [5216], and yet [2532] hast thou [1097] not [3756] known [1097] me [3165], Philip [5376]? he that hath seen [3708] me [1691] hath seen [3708] the Father [3962]; and [2532] how [4459] sayest [3004] thou [4771] then, Shew [1166] us [2254] the Father [3962]?
8 Philip [5376] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], shew [1166] us [2254] the Father [3962], and [2532] it sufficeth [714] us [2254].
32 Jesus [2424] answered [611] them [846], Many [4183] good [2570] works [2041] have I shewed [1166] you [5213] from [1537] my [3450] Father [3962]; for [1223] which [4169] of those [846] works [2041] do ye stone [3034] me [3165]?
31 Then [3767] the Jews [2453] took up [941] stones [3037] again [3825] to [2443] stone [3034] him [846].
30 I [1473] and [2532] my Father [3962] are [2070] one [1520].
62 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], I [1473] am [1510]: and [2532] ye shall see [3700] the Son [5207] of man [444] sitting [2521] on [1537] the right hand [1188] of power [1411], and [2532] coming [2064] in [3326] the clouds [3507] of heaven [3772].
19 Go ye [4198] therefore [3767], and teach [3100] all [3956] nations [1484], baptizing [907] them [846] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Father [3962], and [2532] of the Son [5207], and [2532] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151]:
2 And Abram [087] said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], what wilt thou give [05414] me, seeing I go [01980] childless [06185], and the steward [01121] [04943] of my house [01004] is this [01931] Eliezer [0461] of Damascus [01834]?
42 Saying [3004], What [5101] think [1380] ye [5213] of [4012] Christ [5547]? whose [5101] son [5207] is he [2076]? They say [3004] unto him [846], The Son of David [1138].
43 He saith [3004] unto them [846], How [4459] then [3767] doth David [1138] in [1722] spirit [4151] call [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], saying [3004],
44 The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]?
45 If [1487] David [1138] then [3767] call [2564] him [846] Lord [2962], how [4459] is he [2076] his [846] son [5207]?
4 Jesus [2424] therefore [3767], knowing [1492] all things [3956] that should come [2064] upon [1909] him [846], went forth [1831], and said [2036] unto them [846], Whom [5101] seek ye [2212]?
5 They answered [611] him [846], Jesus [2424] of Nazareth [3480]. Jesus [2424] saith [3004] unto them [846], I [1473] am [1510] he. And [1161] Judas [2455] also [2532], which [3588] betrayed [3860] him [846], stood [2476] with [3326] them [846].
6 As soon [5613] then [3767] as he had said [2036] unto them [846], [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, they went [565] backward [1519] [3694], and [2532] fell [4098] to the ground [5476].
33 The Jews [2453] answered [611] him [846], saying [3004], For [4012] a good [2570] work [2041] we stone [3034] thee [4571] not [3756]; but [235] for [4012] blasphemy [988]; and [2532] because [3754] that thou [4771], being [5607] a man [444], makest [4160] thyself [4572] God [2316].
59 Then [3767] took they up [142] stones [3037] to [2443] cast [906] at [1909] him [846]: but [1161] Jesus [2424] hid himself [2928], and [2532] went [1831] out of [1537] the temple [2411], going [1330] through [1223] the midst [3319] of them [846], and [2532] so [3779] passed by [3855].
56 Your [5216] father [3962] Abraham [11] rejoiced [21] to [2443] see [1492] my [1699] day [2250]: and [2532] he saw [1492] it, and [2532] was glad [5463].
57 Then [3767] said [2036] the Jews [2453] unto [4314] him [846], Thou art [2192] not yet [3768] fifty [4004] years old [2094], and [2532] hast thou seen [3708] Abraham [11]?
58 Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Before [4250] Abraham [11] was [1096], I [1473] am [1510].
24 I said [2036] therefore [3767] unto you [5213], that [3754] ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266]: for [1063] if [3362] ye believe [4100] not [3362] that [3754] I [1473] am [1510] he, ye shall die [599] in [1722] your [5216] sins [266].
42 Hath not [3780] the scripture [1124] said [2036], That [3754] Christ [5547] cometh [2064] of [1537] the seed [4690] of David [1138], and [2532] out of [575] the town [2968] of Bethlehem [965], where [3699] David [1138] was [2258]?
6 And [2532] thou [4771] Bethlehem [965], in the land [1093] of Juda [2448], art [1488] not [3760] the least [1646] among [1722] the princes [2232] of Juda [2448]: for [1063] out of [1537] thee [4675] shall come [1831] a Governor [2233], that [3748] shall rule [4165] my [3450] people [2992] Israel [2474].
2 But thou, Bethlehem [01035] Ephratah [0672], though thou be little [06810] among the thousands [0505] of Judah [03063], yet out of thee shall he come forth [03318] unto me that is to be ruler [04910] in Israel [03478]; whose goings forth [04163] have been from of old [06924], from everlasting [03117] [05769].
31 Then [5119] saith [3004] Jesus [2424] unto them [846], All [3956] ye [5210] shall be offended [4624] because [1722] of me [1722] [1698] this [5026] night [3571]: for [1063] it is written [1125], I will smite [3960] the shepherd [4166], and [2532] the sheep [4263] of the flock [4167] shall be scattered abroad [1287].
7 Awake [05782], O sword [02719], against my shepherd [07462], and against the man [01397] that is my fellow [05997], saith [05002] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635]: smite [05221] the shepherd [07462], and the sheep [06629] shall be scattered [06327]: and I will turn [07725] mine hand [03027] upon the little ones [06819].
7 Of the increase [04766] of his government [04951] and peace [07965] there shall be no end [07093], upon the throne [03678] of David [01732], and upon his kingdom [04467], to order [03559] it, and to establish [05582] it with judgment [04941] and with justice [06666] from henceforth even for [05704] ever [05769]. The zeal [07068] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] will perform [06213] this.
6 For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965].
23 Behold [2400], a virgin [3933] shall be with child [1722] [1064] [2192], and [2532] shall bring forth [5088] a son [5207], and [2532] they shall call [2564] his [846] name [3686] Emmanuel [1694], which [3739] being interpreted [3177] is [2076], God [2316] with [3326] us [2257].
22 Now [1161] all [3650] this [5124] was done [1096], that [2443] it might be fulfilled [4137] which [3588] was spoken [4483] of [5259] the Lord [2962] by [1223] the prophet [4396], saying [3004],
14 Therefore the Lord [0136] himself shall give [05414] you a sign [0226]; Behold, a virgin [05959] shall conceive [02030], and bear [03205] a son [01121], and shall call [07121] his name [08034] Immanuel [06005] [0410].
13 And he said [0559], Hear [08085] ye now, O house [01004] of David [01732]; Is it a small thing [04592] for you to weary [03811] men [0582], but will ye weary [03811] my God [0430] also?
13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147].
17 For [1063] he testifieth [3140], [3754] Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
18 For [1063] there is [1096] verily [3303] a disannulling [115] of the commandment [1785] going before [4254] for [1223] the weakness [772] and [2532] unprofitableness [512] thereof [846].
19 For [1063] the law [3551] made [5048] nothing [3762] perfect [5048], but [1161] the bringing in [1898] of a better [2909] hope [1680] did; by [1223] the which [3739] we draw nigh [1448] unto God [2316].
20 And [2532] inasmuch as [2596] [3745] not [3756] without [5565] an oath [3728] he was made priest:
21 (For [1063] those priests [2409] were [3303] [1526] made [1096] without [5565] an oath [3728]; but [1161] this with [3326] an oath [3728] by [1223] him that said [3004] unto [4314] him [846], The Lord [2962] sware [3660] and [2532] will [3338] not [3756] repent [3338], Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198]:)
20 Whither [3699] the forerunner [4274] is [1525] for [5228] us [2257] entered [1525], even Jesus [2424], made [1096] an high priest [749] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
6 As [2531] he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] another [2087] place, Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
4 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650], and will not repent [05162], Thou art a priest [03548] for ever [05769] after the order [01700] of Melchizedek [04442].
13 But [1161] to [4314] which [5101] of the angels [32] said he [2046] at any time [4218], Sit [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], until [302] [2193] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]?
34 For [1063] David [1138] is not [3756] ascended [305] into [1519] the heavens [3772]: but [1161] he saith [3004] himself [846], The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188],
44 The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], till [2193] [302] I make [5087] thine [4675] enemies [2190] thy [4675] footstool [5286] [4228]?
1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] said [05002] unto my Lord [0113], Sit [03427] thou at my right hand [03225], until I make [07896] thine enemies [0341] thy footstool [01916] [07272].
9 Thou hast loved [25] righteousness [1343], and [2532] hated [3404] iniquity [458]; therefore [1223] [5124] God [2316], even thy [4675] God [2316], hath anointed [5548] thee [4571] with the oil [1637] of gladness [20] above [3844] thy [4675] fellows [3353].
8 But [1161] unto [4314] the Son [5207] he saith, Thy [4675] throne [2362], O God [2316], is for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]: a sceptre [4464] of righteousness [2118] is the sceptre [4464] of thy [4675] kingdom [932].
7 Thou lovest [0157] righteousness [06664], and hatest [08130] wickedness [07562]: therefore God [0430], thy God [0430], hath anointed [04886] thee with the oil [08081] of gladness [08342] above thy fellows [02270].
6 Thy throne [03678], O God [0430], is for ever [05769] and ever [05703]: the sceptre [07626] of thy kingdom [04438] is a right [04334] sceptre [07626].
2 The kings [04428] of the earth [0776] set [03320] themselves, and the rulers [07336] take counsel [03245] together [03162], against the LORD [03068], and against his anointed [04899], saying,
3 Let us break [05423] their bands [04147] asunder [05423], and cast away [07993] their cords [05688] from us.
4 He that sitteth [03427] in the heavens [08064] shall laugh [07832]: the Lord [0136] shall have them in derision [03932].
5 Then shall he speak [01696] unto them in his wrath [0639], and vex [0926] them in his sore displeasure [02740].
6 Yet have I set [05258] my king [04428] upon my holy [06944] hill [02022] of Zion [06726].
7 I will declare [05608] the decree [02706]: the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto me, Thou art my Son [01121]; this day [03117] have I begotten [03205] thee.
8 Ask [07592] of me, and I shall give [05414] thee the heathen [01471] for thine inheritance [05159], and the uttermost parts [0657] of the earth [0776] for thy possession [0272].
9 Thou shalt break [07489] them with a rod [07626] of iron [01270]; thou shalt dash them in pieces [05310] like a potter's [03335] vessel [03627].
2 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] unto him in a flame [03827] of fire [0784] out of the midst [08432] of a bush [05572]: and he looked [07200], and, behold, the bush [05572] burned [01197] with fire [0784], and the bush [05572] was not consumed [0398].
3 And Moses [04872] said [0559], I will now turn aside [05493], and see [07200] this great [01419] sight [04758], why [04069] the bush [05572] is not burnt [01197].
4 And when the LORD [03068] saw [07200] that he turned aside [05493] to see [07200], God [0430] called [07121] unto him out of the midst [08432] of the bush [05572], and said [0559], Moses [04872], Moses [04872]. And he said [0559], Here am I.
5 And he said [0559], Draw not nigh [07126] hither [01988]: put off [05394] thy shoes [05275] from off thy feet [07272], for the place [04725] whereon [0834] thou standest [05975] is holy [06944] ground [0127].
6 Moreover he said [0559], I am the God [0430] of thy father [01], the God [0430] of Abraham [085], the God [0430] of Isaac [03327], and the God [0430] of Jacob [03290]. And Moses [04872] hid [05641] his face [06440]; for he was afraid [03372] to look [05027] upon God [0430].
7 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], I have surely [07200] seen [07200] the affliction [06040] of my people [05971] which are in Egypt [04714], and have heard [08085] their cry [06818] by reason [06440] of their taskmasters [05065]; for I know [03045] their sorrows [04341];
8 And I am come down [03381] to deliver [05337] them out of the hand [03027] of the Egyptians [04714], and to bring [05927] them up out of that land [0776] unto a good [02896] land [0776] and a large [07342], unto a land [0776] flowing [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; unto the place [04725] of the Canaanites [03669], and the Hittites [02850], and the Amorites [0567], and the Perizzites [06522], and the Hivites [02340], and the Jebusites [02983].
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry [06818] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] is come [0935] unto me: and I have also seen [07200] the oppression [03906] wherewith the Egyptians [04714] oppress [03905] them.
10 Come [03212] now therefore, and I will send [07971] thee unto Pharaoh [06547], that thou mayest bring forth [03318] my people [05971] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714].
11 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Who am I, that I should go [03212] unto Pharaoh [06547], and that I should bring forth [03318] the children [01121] of Israel [03478] out of Egypt [04714]?
12 And he said [0559], Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token [0226] unto thee, that [03588] I have sent [07971] thee: When thou hast brought forth [03318] the people [05971] out of Egypt [04714], ye shall serve [05647] God [0430] upon this mountain [02022].
13 And Moses [04872] said [0559] unto God [0430], Behold, when I come [0935] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and shall say [0559] unto them, The God [0430] of your fathers [01] hath sent [07971] me unto you; and they shall say [0559] to me, What is his name [08034]? what shall I say [0559] unto them?
14 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], I AM [01961] THAT I AM [01961]: and he said [0559], Thus shalt thou say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], I AM hath sent [07971] me unto you.
3 He took his brother [0251] by the heel [06117] in the womb [0990], and by his strength [0202] he had power [08280] with God [0430]:
4 Yea, he had power [07786] over the angel [04397], and prevailed [03201]: he wept [01058], and made supplication [02603] unto him: he found [04672] him in Bethel [01008], and there he spake [01696] with us;
5 Even the LORD [03068] God [0430] of hosts [06635]; the LORD [03068] is his memorial [02143].
28 And he said [0559], Thy name [08034] shall be called [0559] no more Jacob [03290], but Israel [03478]: for as a prince hast thou power [08280] with God [0430] and with men [0582], and hast prevailed [03201].
17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Shall I hide [03680] from Abraham [085] that thing which [0834] I do [06213];
2 And he lift up [05375] his eyes [05869] and looked [07200], and, lo, three [07969] men [0582] stood [05324] by him: and when he saw [07200] them, he ran [07323] to meet [07125] them from the tent [0168] door [06607], and bowed [07812] himself toward the ground [0776],
3 And said [0559], My Lord [0136], if now I have found [04672] favour [02580] in thy sight [05869], pass not away [05674], I pray thee, from thy servant [05650]:
4 Let a little [04592] water [04325], I pray you [04994], be fetched [03947], and wash [07364] your feet [07272], and rest yourselves [08172] under the tree [06086]:
5 And I will fetch [03947] a morsel [06595] of bread [03899], and comfort ye [05582] your hearts [03820]; after that [0310] ye shall pass on [05674]: for therefore are ye come [05674] to [05921] your servant [05650]. And they said [01696], So do [06213], as thou hast said [0559].
6 And Abraham [085] hastened [04116] into the tent [0168] unto Sarah [08283], and said [0559], Make ready quickly [04116] three [07969] measures [05429] of fine [05560] meal [07058], knead [03888] it, and make [06213] cakes [05692] upon the hearth [06213].
7 And Abraham [085] ran [07323] unto the herd [01241], and fetcht [03947] a calf [01121] [01241] tender [07390] and good [02896], and gave [05414] it unto a young man [05288]; and he hasted [04116] to dress [06213] it.
8 And he took [03947] butter [02529], and milk [02461], and the calf [01121] [01241] which he had dressed [06213], and set [05414] it before them [06440]; and he stood [05975] by them under the tree [06086], and they did eat [0398].
9 And they said [0559] unto him, Where [0346] is Sarah [08283] thy wife [0802]? And he said [0559], Behold, in the tent [0168].
10 And he said [0559], I will certainly [07725] return [07725] unto thee according to the time [06256] of life [02416]; and, lo, Sarah [08283] thy wife [0802] shall have a son [01121]. And Sarah [08283] heard [08085] it in the tent [0168] door [06607], which was behind him [0310].
11 Now Abraham [085] and Sarah [08283] were old [02205] and well stricken [0935] in age [03117]; and it ceased [02308] to be with Sarah [08283] after the manner [0734] of women [0802].
12 Therefore Sarah [08283] laughed [06711] within herself [07130], saying [0559], After [0310] I am waxed old [01086] shall I have pleasure [05730], my lord [0113] being old also [02204]?
13 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Wherefore [04100] did Sarah [08283] laugh [06711], saying [0559], Shall I of a surety [0552] bear [03205] a child, which [0589] am old [02204]?
14 Is [06381] any thing [01697] too hard [06381] for the LORD [03068]? At the time appointed [04150] I will return [07725] unto thee, according to the time [06256] of life [02416], and Sarah [08283] shall have a son [01121].
15 Then Sarah [08283] denied [03584], saying [0559], I laughed [06711] not; for she was afraid [03372]. And he said [0559], Nay [03808]; but thou didst laugh [06711].
16 And the men [0582] rose up [06965] from thence, and looked [08259] toward [06440] Sodom [05467]: and Abraham [085] went [01980] with them to bring them on the way [07971].
17 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Shall I hide [03680] from Abraham [085] that thing which [0834] I do [06213];
18 Seeing that Abraham [085] shall surely become a great [01419] and mighty [06099] nation [01471], and all the nations [01471] of the earth [0776] shall be blessed [01288] in him?
19 For I know [03045] him, that [0834] he will command [06680] his children [01121] and his household [01004] after him [0310], and they shall keep [08104] the way [01870] of the LORD [03068], to do [06213] justice [06666] and judgment [04941]; that the LORD [03068] may bring [0935] upon Abraham [085] that which he hath spoken [01696] of him.
20 And the LORD [03068] said [0559], Because the cry [02201] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] is great [07227], and because their sin [02403] is very [03966] grievous [03513];
21 I will go down [03381] now, and see [07200] whether they have done [06213] altogether [03617] according to the cry [06818] of it, which is come [0935] unto me; and if not, I will know [03045].
22 And the men [0582] turned their faces [06437] from thence, and went [03212] toward Sodom [05467]: but Abraham [085] stood [05975] yet [05750] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
23 And Abraham [085] drew near [05066], and said [0559], Wilt thou also destroy [05595] the righteous [06662] with [05973] the wicked [07563]?
7 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] found her [04672] by a fountain [05869] of water [04325] in the wilderness [04057], by the fountain [05869] in the way [01870] to Shur [07793].
8 And he said [0559], Hagar [01904], Sarai's [08297] maid [08198], whence [0335] camest thou [0935]? and whither wilt thou go [03212]? And she said [0559], I flee [01272] from the face [06440] of my mistress [01404] Sarai [08297].
9 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Return [07725] to thy mistress [01404], and submit [06031] thyself under her hands [03027].

11 And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto her, Behold [02009], thou art with child [02030], and shalt bear [03205] a son [01121], and shalt call [07121] his name [08034] Ishmael [03458]; because the LORD [03068] hath heard [08085] thy affliction [06040].
12 And he will be a wild [06501] man [0120]; his hand [03027] will be against every man, and every man's hand [03027] against him; and he shall dwell [07931] in the presence [06440] of all his brethren [0251].
