(Part 1 of 14)

Jn 1:1. IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.

Jn 1:2. (HE) WAS IN THE BEGINNING WITH GOD.
Jn 1:3. ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE (or apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being-NASB).

Mk 1:1. THE BEGINNING OF THE GOSPEL (or Good News) OF JESUS CHRIST (the Messiah), THE SON OF GOD;

Lk 1:1. FORASMUCH AS MANY HAVE (UNDERTAKEN) TO (COMPILE) (or draw up) IN ORDER (AN) (ACCOUNT) OF THOSE (MATTERS) WHICH ARE MOST SURELY BELIEVED (or fulfilled, or have taken place) AMONG US,
Lk 1:2. (JUST) AS THEY DELIVERED THEM (TO) US, (those) WHICH FROM THE BEGINNING WERE EYEWITNESSES, AND MINISTERS (or servants) OF THE WORD (or based on what was handed down to us by those who from the start were eyewitnesses and proclaimers of the message-JNT);
Lk 1:3. (Therefore) IT SEEMED GOOD (or fitting) TO ME ALSO, HAVING HAD PERFECT UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THINGS FROM THE VERY FIRST (or having investigated everything carefully from the beginning-NASB), TO WRITE (TO) (YOU) IN (consecutive) ORDER (an orderly account), (YOUR EXCELLENCY) THEOPHILUS,
Lk 1:4. THAT (YOU) (MIGHT) KNOW THE (EXACT TRUTH) OF THOSE THINGS, WHEREIN (YOU) (HAVE) BEEN (TAUGHT).

Lk 1:5. THERE WAS IN THE (TIME) OF HEROD, THE KING OF JUDAEA, A CERTAIN PRIEST NAMED ZACHARIAS, OF THE COURSE (or priestly division) OF (ABIJAH): AND HIS WIFE WAS (also) OF THE DAUGHTERS OF AARON, AND HER NAME WAS ELISABETH.
Lk 1:6. AND THEY WERE BOTH RIGHTEOUS BEFORE GOD, WALKING IN (or observing) ALL THE COMMANDMENTS AND ORDINANCES (or requirements) OF THE LORD (BLAMELESSLY).
Lk 1:7. AND THEY HAD NO CHILD, BECAUSE THAT ELISABETH WAS BARREN, AND THEY BOTH WERE NOW WELL (ADVANCED) IN YEARS.
Lk 1:8. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHILE HE EXECUTED THE PRIEST'S OFFICE (or was performing his priestly service-NASB) (or serving as priest) BEFORE GOD IN THE (appointed) ORDER OF HIS COURSE (or during his division’s period of service before God-JNT),
Lk 1:9. ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOM OF THE PRIEST'S OFFICE, HIS LOT WAS TO BURN INCENSE WHEN HE WENT INTO THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD (or he was chosen by lot [according to the custom among the cohanim] to enter the Temple and burn incense-JNT).
Lk 1:10. AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE OF THE (ASSEMBLED WORSHIPERS) WERE PRAYING (OUTSIDE) AT THE (HOUR) OF (the) INCENSE (offering or burning).
Lk 1:11. AND THERE APPEARED (TO) HIM AN ANGEL OF THE LORD STANDING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ALTAR OF INCENSE.
Lk 1:12. AND WHEN ZACHARIAS SAW HIM, HE WAS TROUBLED (or startled), AND FEAR (GRIPPED) HIM.
Lk 1:13. BUT THE ANGEL SAID (TO) HIM, (DO NOT BE AFRAID), ZACHARIAS: FOR (YOUR) PRAYER IS HEARD; AND (YOUR) WIFE ELISABETH SHALL BEAR (YOU) A SON, AND (YOU) (SHALL) (GIVE HIM THE NAME) JOHN.
Lk 1:14. AND (YOU) (WILL) HAVE JOY AND GLADNESS (or he will be a joy and delight to you-NIV); AND MANY (people) SHALL REJOICE (BECAUSE OF) HIS BIRTH.
Lk 1:15. FOR HE SHALL BE GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD, AND SHALL DRINK NEITHER (or is never to drink-JNT) WINE (OR) STRONG DRINK (or other liquor, or fermented drink); AND HE SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit), EVEN FROM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB.
Lk 1:16. AND MANY OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL SHALL HE (BRING BACK) TO THE LORD THEIR GOD.
Lk 1:17. AND HE SHALL GO (out) (as a forerunner) BEFORE HIM (or ahead of) (the Lord) IN THE SPIRIT AND POWER OF ELIJAH, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS (back) TO THE CHILDREN, AND THE DISOBEDIENT TO THE WISDOM (or attitude) OF THE (RIGHTEOUS); TO MAKE READY A PEOPLE PREPARED FOR THE LORD.

Lk 1:18. AND ZACHARIAS SAID (TO) THE ANGEL, (HOW CAN I BE SURE OF THIS-NIV)? FOR I AM AN OLD MAN, AND MY WIFE WELL (ADVANCED) IN YEARS.
Lk 1:19. AND THE ANGEL ANSWERING SAID (TO) HIM, I AM GABRIEL, (I STAND) IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD; AND (I) AM SENT TO SPEAK (TO) (YOU), AND TO SHOW (YOU) THESE GLAD TIDINGS (or good news).
Lk 1:20. AND, BEHOLD, (YOU) (SHALL) BE DUMB (or silent, or mute), AND NOT ABLE TO SPEAK, UNTIL THE DAY THAT THESE THINGS SHALL (TAKE PLACE), BECAUSE (YOU) (DID NOT BELIEVE) MY WORDS, WHICH SHALL BE FULFILLED (or come true) IN THEIR (PROPER TIME).
Lk 1:21. AND (meanwhile) THE PEOPLE WAITED FOR ZACHARIAS, AND (WERE WONDERING) (or surprised) THAT HE (STAYED) SO LONG IN THE TEMPLE.
Lk 1:22. AND WHEN HE CAME OUT, HE COULD NOT SPEAK (TO) THEM: AND THEY (REALIZED) THAT HE HAD SEEN A VISION IN THE TEMPLE: FOR HE BECKONED (or kept making signs, or communicated…with signs) (TO) THEM, AND REMAINED SPEECHLESS (or unable to speak).
Lk 1:23. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, AS SOON AS THE DAYS OF HIS MINISTRATION (or priestly, or Temple service) WERE ACCOMPLISHED (or ended), HE DEPARTED TO HIS OWN HOUSE.

Lk 1:24. AND AFTER THOSE DAYS HIS WIFE ELISABETH (BECAME PREGNANT), AND (REMAINED…IN SECLUSION) FIVE MONTHS, SAYING,
Lk 1:25. THUS (HAS) (or this is the way-NASB) THE LORD DEALT WITH ME (AT THIS TIME) WHEREIN HE LOOKED (with favor) ON ME, TO TAKE AWAY MY REPROACH (or public disgrace) AMONG (THE PEOPLE).

Lk 1:26. AND IN THE SIXTH MONTH THE ANGEL GABRIEL WAS SENT FROM GOD (TO) A (TOWN) OF GALILEE, NAMED NAZARETH,
Lk 1:27. TO A VIRGIN ESPOUSED (or engaged, or pledged) TO A MAN WHOSE NAME WAS JOSEPH, OF THE HOUSE (or descendants) OF DAVID; AND THE VIRGIN'S NAME WAS MARY.
Lk 1:28. AND THE ANGEL CAME IN (TO) HER, AND SAID, HAIL (or Greetings, or Rejoice, or Shalom), (YOU) THAT (ARE) HIGHLY FAVORED, THE LORD IS WITH (YOU): BLESSED (ARE) (YOU) AMONG WOMEN.
Lk 1:29. AND WHEN SHE SAW HIM, SHE (Mary) WAS (greatly) TROUBLED AT HIS SAYING (or words), AND CAST IN HER MIND (or wondered) WHAT (KIND) OF SALUTATION (or greeting) THIS (MIGHT) BE.
Lk 1:30. AND THE ANGEL SAID (TO) HER, FEAR NOT, MARY: FOR (YOU) (HAVE) FOUND FAVOR WITH GOD.
Lk 1:31. AND, BEHOLD, (YOU) (WILL) CONCEIVE IN (YOUR) WOMB (or become pregnant), AND BRING FORTH A SON, AND (SHALL) CALL HIS NAME JESUS.
Lk 1:32. HE SHALL BE GREAT, AND SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF THE HIGHEST: AND THE LORD GOD SHALL GIVE UNTO HIM THE THRONE OF HIS FATHER (or forefather) DAVID:
Lk 1:33. AND HE SHALL REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOR EVER; AND OF HIS KINGDOM THERE SHALL BE NO END (or His kingdom will never end-NIV).
Lk 1:34. THEN SAID MARY (TO) THE ANGEL, HOW SHALL THIS BE, (SINCE I AM A VIRGIN-NASB)?
Lk 1:35. AND THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HER, THE HOLY GHOST SHALL COME (OVER) (YOU), AND THE POWER OF THE HIGHEST SHALL OVERSHADOW (or cover) (YOU): (FOR THAT REASON) THAT HOLY THING (or child) WHICH SHALL BE BORN OF (YOU) SHALL BE CALLED THE SON OF GOD.
Lk 1:36. AND, BEHOLD, (YOUR) COUSIN (or relative) ELISABETH, SHE (IS GOING TO HAVE) A SON IN HER OLD AGE: AND THIS IS THE SIXTH MONTH WITH HER, WHO WAS CALLED BARREN.
Lk 1:37. FOR WITH GOD NOTHING (IS) IMPOSSIBLE.
Lk 1:38. AND MARY SAID, BEHOLD THE HANDMAID (or bondslave, or servant) OF THE LORD; BE IT (done) (TO) ME ACCORDING TO (YOUR) WORD. AND THE ANGEL DEPARTED FROM HER.

Lk 1:39. AND (without delay) (at this time) MARY AROSE IN THOSE DAYS, AND WENT INTO THE HILL COUNTRY WITH HASTE, INTO A CITY OF (JUDAH) (or Judea);
Lk 1:40. AND ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF ZACHARIAS, AND (GREETED) ELISABETH.
Lk 1:41. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN ELISABETH HEARD THE (GREETING) OF MARY, THE BABE LEAPED (or was stirred) IN HER WOMB; AND ELISABETH WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST:

Lk 1:42. AND SHE (SPOKE) OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND SAID, BLESSED (ARE) (YOU) AMONG WOMEN, AND (how) BLESSED IS THE FRUIT (or child) OF (YOUR) WOMB (or child you will bear-NIV).
Lk 1:43. AND (WHY) IS THIS (happened) TO ME (or why am I so favored-NIV, or who am I), THAT THE MOTHER OF MY LORD SHOULD COME TO ME?
Lk 1:44. FOR, (BEHOLD), AS SOON AS THE (SOUND) OF (YOUR) (GREETING) (REACHED) (MY) EARS, THE (BABY) LEAPED IN MY WOMB FOR JOY.
Lk 1:45. AND BLESSED IS SHE THAT BELIEVED (or trusted) (that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished-NIV): FOR THERE SHALL BE A (FULFILLMENT) OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD HER FROM THE LORD.

Lk 1:46. AND MARY SAID, MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY (or glorifies, or exalts) THE LORD,
Lk 1:47. AND MY SPIRIT (HAS) REJOICED IN GOD MY SAVIOR.
Lk 1:48. FOR HE (HAS) (BEEN MINDFUL OF) THE (HUMBLE) (POSITION) OF HIS HANDMAIDEN (or bondslave, or servantgirl): FOR, BEHOLD (imagine it!), FROM (THIS TIME ON) ALL GENERATIONS SHALL CALL ME BLESSED.
Lk 1:49. FOR HE THAT IS MIGHTY (HAS) DONE TO ME GREAT THINGS; AND (indeed) HOLY IS HIS NAME.
Lk 1:50. AND HIS MERCY (EXTENDS TO) THEM THAT FEAR HIM (IN EVERY GENERATION).
Lk 1:51. HE (HAS) (DONE MIGHTY DEEDS) WITH HIS ARM; HE (HAS) SCATTERED (or routed) THE PROUD IN THE IMAGINATION OF THEIR HEARTS (or scattered those who are-NIV) (secretly proud) (in their inmost thoughts-NIV) (from their heart).
Lk 1:52. HE (HAS) (BROUGHT) DOWN THE MIGHTY (or rulers) FROM THEIR (THRONES), AND (has) EXALTED (or raised up) THEM OF LOW DEGREE (or those who were humble-NASB).
Lk 1:53. HE (HAS) FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS; AND THE RICH HE (HAS) (SENT AWAY EMPTY).
Lk 1:54. HE (HAS) (HELPED) HIS SERVANT ISRAEL, IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIS MERCY;
Lk 1:55. AS HE (SPOKE) (or promised) TO OUR FATHERS, TO ABRAHAM, AND TO HIS (OFFSPRING) FOR EVER.
Lk 1:56. AND MARY (STAYED) WITH (ELIZABETH) ABOUT THREE MONTHS, AND (then) RETURNED TO HER OWN HOUSE.

Lk 1:57. NOW ELISABETH'S FULL TIME CAME THAT SHE SHOULD (GIVE BIRTH) (to have her baby-NIV); AND SHE (GAVE BIRTH TO) A SON.
Lk 1:58. AND HER NEIGHBORS AND HER (RELATIVES) HEARD HOW THE LORD HAD (SHOWN) GREAT MERCY UPON HER; AND THEY REJOICED WITH HER.
Lk 1:59. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT ON THE EIGHTH DAY THEY CAME TO CIRCUMCISE THE CHILD; AND THEY CALLED HIM (or were going to name him-NIV) ZACHARIAS, AFTER THE NAME OF HIS FATHER.
Lk 1:60. AND HIS MOTHER ANSWERED AND SAID, (NO!); BUT HE SHALL BE CALLED JOHN.
Lk 1:61. AND THEY SAID (TO) HER, THERE IS NONE OF (YOUR) (RELATIVES) THAT IS CALLED BY THIS NAME.
Lk 1:62. AND THEY MADE SIGNS TO HIS FATHER, (to find out) (WHAT) HE WOULD HAVE (THE CHILD) CALLED.
Lk 1:63. AND HE (MOTIONED) FOR A WRITING (TABLET), AND WROTE, SAYING, HIS NAME IS JOHN. AND THEY (WERE ALL ASTONISHED).
Lk 1:64. AND HIS MOUTH WAS OPENED IMMEDIATELY, AND HIS TONGUE LOOSED, AND HE (SPOKE), AND PRAISED GOD.
Lk 1:65. AND FEAR (or awe) CAME ON ALL (the neighbors) THAT DWELT (AROUND) ABOUT THEM: AND ALL THESE (MATTERS) WERE (TALKED ABOUT) ABROAD THROUGHOUT ALL THE HILL COUNTRY OF (JUDEA).
Lk 1:66. AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD THEM (KEPT) THEM UP IN THEIR HEARTS (or mind) (or wondered about it), SAYING, WHAT (KIND) OF CHILD SHALL THIS (turn out to) BE! AND THE HAND OF THE LORD WAS WITH HIM.

Lk 1:67. AND HIS FATHER ZACHARIAS WAS FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND PROPHESIED, SAYING,
Lk 1:68. BLESSED (or praised) BE THE LORD GOD OF ISRAEL; FOR HE (HAS) (COME) AND (ACCOMPLISHED REDEMPTION FOR) HIS PEOPLE (or He has visited and made a ransom to liberate His people-JNT),
Lk 1:69. AND (HAS) RAISED UP AN HORN OF SALVATION (or mighty Deliverer) FOR US (WHO IS A DESCENDANT OF-JNT) THE HOUSE OF HIS SERVANT DAVID;
Lk 1:70. AS HE (SPOKE) BY THE MOUTH OF HIS HOLY PROPHETS, WHICH HAVE BEEN SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN (or from of old) (or it is just as He has spoken through the mouth of the prophets from the very beginning-JNT):
Lk 1:71. THAT WE SHOULD BE SAVED (or delivered) FROM OUR ENEMIES, AND FROM THE (POWER) OF ALL THAT HATE US;
Lk 1:72. (This has happened) TO (SHOW) THE MERCY PROMISED TO OUR FATHERS, AND TO REMEMBER HIS HOLY COVENANT;
Lk 1:73. THE OATH WHICH HE (SWORE) TO OUR FATHER ABRAHAM,
Lk 1:74. THAT HE WOULD GRANT (TO) US, THAT WE BEING DELIVERED (or freed) OUT OF THE HAND OF OUR ENEMIES MIGHT SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR,
Lk 1:75. IN HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE HIM, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE.
Lk 1:76. AND (YOU), (My) CHILD, (WILL) BE CALLED THE PROPHET OF THE (MOST HIGH): FOR (YOU) (WILL) GO BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD TO PREPARE (THE WAY FOR HIM-NIV);
Lk 1:77. TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION (TO) HIS PEOPLE BY THE (FORGIVENESS) OF THEIR SINS (or that deliverance comes by having sins forgiven-JNT),
Lk 1:78. THROUGH (or because of) THE TENDER MERCY OF OUR GOD; WHEREBY THE DAYSPRING (or sunrise) FROM ON HIGH (HAS) VISITED US (or by which the rising sun will come to [visit] us from heaven-NIV),
Lk 1:79. TO GIVE LIGHT TO (or shine on) THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS AND IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH, TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE.

Mt 1:1. THE BOOK (or record) OF THE GENERATION (or genealogy) OF JESUS CHRIST (the Messiah), THE SON OF DAVID, THE SON OF ABRAHAM.

Jn 1:4. IN HIM WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF (MANKIND).
Jn 1:5. AND THE LIGHT (SHINES) IN (the) DARKNESS; AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED (or understood) IT NOT.

Mt 1:18. NOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST (or Yeshua the Messiah-JNT) (WAS AS FOLLOWS): WHEN AS HIS MOTHER MARY WAS ESPOUSED (or engaged, pledged, or betrothed) TO (be married to) JOSEPH, (but) BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER (or were married), SHE WAS FOUND (to be) (PREGNANT) OF THE HOLY GHOST (or Holy Spirit).
Mt 1:19. THEN JOSEPH HER HUSBAND (to be), BEING A (RIGHTEOUS) MAN (or a man who did what was right-JNT), AND NOT WILLING TO MAKE HER A PUBLIC EXAMPLE (or public shame, or disgrace), (HAD IN MIND) TO PUT HER AWAY (QUIETLY) (or secretly).
Mt 1:20. BUT WHILE HE (CONSIDERED) THESE THINGS, BEHOLD, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED (TO) HIM IN A DREAM, SAYING, JOSEPH, THOU SON OF DAVID, FEAR NOT TO TAKE (TO) THEE MARY (YOUR) WIFE (or do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife-NIV): FOR THAT WHICH IS CONCEIVED IN HER IS (FROM) THE HOLY GHOST (or Holy Spirit).
Mt 1:21. AND SHE SHALL (GIVE BIRTH TO) (or bear) A SON, AND (YOU) (SHALL) CALL HIS NAME JESUS (or Yeshua, [which means ‘Adonai saves’,-JNT]: FOR (it is) HE (Who) SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS.
Mt 1:22. NOW ALL THIS (HAPPENED) (or took place), THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN OF THE LORD BY THE PROPHET, SAYING,
Mt 1:23. BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL (CONCEIVE), AND SHALL (GIVE BIRTH TO) (or bear) A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME EMMANUEL, WHICH BEING (TRANSLATED) IS, GOD (is) WITH US.
Mt 1:24. THEN JOSEPH BEING RAISED (or awoke, or arose) FROM SLEEP DID AS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD HAD (TOLD) (or commanded) HIM, AND (he) TOOK (Mary) (TO) HIM (as) HIS WIFE:

Lk 2:1. AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS, THAT THERE WENT OUT A DECREE FROM CAESAR AUGUSTUS, THAT ALL THE (Roman) WORLD (or Empire) SHOULD BE TAXED (or a census should be taken-NASB).
Lk 2:2. (AND THIS TAXING [or census, or registration] [the first of its kind-JNT] WAS FIRST MADE WHEN CYRENIUS [or Quirinius] WAS GOVERNOR OF SYRIA.)
Lk 2:3. AND ALL WENT TO BE TAXED (or to register for the census-NASB), EVERY ONE INTO HIS OWN CITY (or town).
Lk 2:4. AND JOSEPH ALSO WENT UP FROM GALILEE, OUT OF THE (TOWN) OF NAZARETH, INTO (JUDEA), (TO) THE CITY OF DAVID, WHICH IS CALLED BETHLEHEM; (BECAUSE HE WAS OF THE HOUSE AND LINEAGE [or family] OF DAVID:)
Lk 2:5. TO BE TAXED (or in order to register-NASB) (along) WITH MARY HIS ESPOUSED WIFE (or who was engaged to him-NASB), BEING (PREGNANT) WITH (a) CHILD.
Lk 2:6. AND SO IT WAS, THAT, WHILE THEY WERE THERE, THE DAYS WERE (COMPLETED) THAT SHE SHOULD (GIVE BIRTH).

Mt 1:25. AND KNEW HER NOT (or he did not have sexual relations-JNT, or union with her) TILL SHE HAD BROUGHT FORTH (or given birth to) HER FIRSTBORN SON: AND HE CALLED (or gave Him) HIS NAME JESUS.

Lk 2:7. AND SHE (GAVE BIRTH TO) HER FIRSTBORN (child, a) SON, AND WRAPPED HIM IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, AND LAID HIM IN A (FEEDING TROUGH); BECAUSE THERE WAS NO ROOM (or space) FOR THEM IN THE INN.

Lk 2:8. AND THERE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY (or countryside, or region nearby) SHEPHERDS (STAYING OUT) IN THE FIELD, KEEPING WATCH OVER (or guarding) THEIR FLOCK BY NIGHT.
Lk 2:9. AND, LO, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD (suddenly) (STOOD BEFORE) THEM, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD SHONE (AROUND) THEM: AND THEY WERE (GREATLY) AFRAID.
Lk 2:10. AND THE ANGEL SAID (TO) THEM, (DO NOT BE AFRAID): FOR, BEHOLD, I BRING YOU GOOD (NEWS) OF GREAT JOY, WHICH SHALL BE TO ALL PEOPLE.
Lk 2:11. FOR (TO) YOU IS BORN THIS (very) DAY IN THE CITY (or town) OF DAVID A SAVIOR (or Deliverer), WHICH IS CHRIST (or Messiah) THE LORD.
Lk 2:12. AND THIS SHALL BE A SIGN (TO) YOU (or here is how you will know-JNT); (YOU) SHALL FIND THE (BABY) WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES, (and) LYING IN A (FEEDING TROUGH).
Lk 2:13. AND SUDDENLY THERE WAS WITH THE ANGEL A (GREAT COMPANY) OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, AND SAYING,
Lk 2:14. GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST (heaven), AND ON EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN (or peace among people of good will-JNT, or peace to men on whom His favor rests-NIV).
Lk 2:15. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THE ANGELS WERE GONE AWAY FROM THEM INTO HEAVEN, THE SHEPHERDS SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, LET US NOW GO EVEN (straight) (TO) BETHLEHEM, AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD (HAS) MADE KNOWN (TO) US.
Lk 2:16. AND THEY (HURRIED), AND FOUND (their way to) MARY, AND JOSEPH, AND THE (BABY) (Who was) LYING IN A (FEEDING TROUGH).
Lk 2:17. AND WHEN THEY HAD SEEN (HIM), THEY (SPREAD) ABROAD THE (STATEMENT) WHICH WAS TOLD THEM CONCERNING THIS CHILD.
Lk 2:18. AND ALL THEY THAT HEARD IT (WERE AMAZED) AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TOLD THEM BY THE SHEPHERDS.
Lk 2:19. BUT MARY KEPT (or treasured up) ALL THESE THINGS, AND (KEPT MULLING) THEM (over) IN HER HEART.
Lk 2:20. AND THE SHEPHERDS RETURNED (back), GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD FOR ALL THE THINGS THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN, (which was just) AS IT WAS TOLD UNTO THEM.

Lk 2:21. AND WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE (COMPLETED) FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF THE CHILD (or on the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise Him-NIV), HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS, WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB.

Lk 2:22. AND WHEN THE DAYS OF HER PURIFICATION ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES WERE (COMPLETED), THEY BROUGHT HIM (up) TO JERUSALEM, TO PRESENT HIM TO THE LORD;
Lk 2:23. (AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, EVERY [first-born] MALE THAT [OPENS] THE WOMB SHALL BE CALLED HOLY [or is to be consecrated-NIV] TO THE LORD;)
Lk 2:24. AND (also) TO OFFER A SACRIFICE ACCORDING TO THAT WHICH IS SAID IN THE LAW OF THE LORD, A PAIR OF TURTLEDOVES, OR TWO YOUNG PIGEONS.

Lk 2:25. AND, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A MAN IN JERUSALEM, WHOSE NAME WAS SIMEON; AND THE SAME MAN WAS (RIGHTEOUS) AND DEVOUT, WAITING (eagerly) FOR THE CONSOLATION OF (or God to comfort) ISRAEL: AND THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) WAS UPON HIM.
Lk 2:26. AND IT WAS REVEALED (TO) HIM BY THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit), THAT HE SHOULD NOT (DIE), BEFORE HE HAD SEEN THE LORD'S CHRIST (or Messiah).
Lk 2:27. AND HE CAME (or was prompted) BY THE SPIRIT INTO THE TEMPLE (courts): AND WHEN THE PARENTS BROUGHT IN THE CHILD JESUS, TO (CARRY OUT) FOR HIM AFTER THE CUSTOM OF THE LAW (or what the…Law required-NIV),
Lk 2:28. THEN (SIMEON TOOK) HIM UP IN HIS ARMS, AND BLESSED (or praised) GOD, AND SAID,
Lk 2:29. (Sovereign) LORD, NOW (YOU ARE LETTING) (YOUR) (bond) SERVANT DEPART IN PEACE, ACCORDING TO (YOUR) WORD (or as You have promised-NIV) (or Your servant is at peace as You let him go-JNT):
Lk 2:30. FOR (MY) (own) EYES HAVE SEEN (YOUR) SALVATION,
Lk 2:31. WHICH (YOU) (HAVE) PREPARED (IN THE PRESENCE) OF ALL PEOPLE;
Lk 2:32. A LIGHT TO LIGHTEN (or bring revelation to) THE GENTILES, AND THE GLORY OF (YOUR) PEOPLE ISRAEL.
Lk 2:33. AND JOSEPH (the child’s father) AND HIS MOTHER (WERE AMAZED) AT THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE SPOKEN OF HIM.
Lk 2:34. AND SIMEON BLESSED THEM, AND SAID (TO) MARY HIS MOTHER, BEHOLD, THIS CHILD IS (DESTINED) (TO CAUSE) THE FALL AND RISING AGAIN OF MANY IN ISRAEL; AND (He) (will become) A SIGN WHICH SHALL BE SPOKEN AGAINST (or opposed);
Lk 2:35. ([YES], A SWORD SHALL PIERCE THROUGH [YOUR] OWN SOUL ALSO,) (all this will happen in order-JNT) THAT THE (inmost) THOUGHTS OF MANY (people’s) HEARTS MAY BE REVEALED.

Lk 2:36. AND THERE WAS (also) ONE ANNA, A PROPHETESS, THE DAUGHTER OF PHANUEL, OF THE TRIBE OF (ASHER): SHE WAS OF (VERY OLD), AND HAD LIVED WITH AN HUSBAND SEVEN YEARS (AFTER HER MARRIAGE);
Lk 2:37. AND (then) SHE WAS A WIDOW OF ABOUT FOURSCORE AND FOUR YEARS (or had remained a widow ever since; now she was eighty-four-JNT), WHICH (NEVER LEFT) THE TEMPLE (grounds), BUT SERVED (or worshiped) GOD WITH FASTINGS AND PRAYERS NIGHT AND DAY.
Lk 2:38. AND SHE COMING IN (at) THAT INSTANT GAVE THANKS LIKEWISE (TO) THE LORD, AND (SPOKE) OF HIM TO ALL THEM THAT LOOKED FOR REDEMPTION IN JERUSALEM (or the redemption of Jerusalem-NIV) (or Jerusalem) (to be liberated).

Mt 2:1. NOW (AFTER) JESUS WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM OF (JUDEA) IN THE (TIME) OF HEROD THE KING, BEHOLD, THERE CAME WISE MEN (or Magi) FROM THE EAST TO JERUSALEM,
Mt 2:2. SAYING, WHERE IS HE (the One) THAT IS (the new) BORN KING OF THE JEWS? FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST, AND ARE COME TO WORSHIP HIM.
Mt 2:3. WHEN HEROD THE KING HAD HEARD THESE THINGS, HE WAS TROUBLED (or very agitated, or disturbed), AND (EVERYONE ELSE IN) JERUSALEM WITH HIM.
Mt 2:4. AND WHEN HE HAD GATHERED ALL THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SCRIBES (or Torah teachers) OF THE PEOPLE TOGETHER, HE (BEGAN TO INQUIRE) (or asked) OF THEM WHERE CHRIST (or the Messiah) SHOULD BE BORN.
Mt 2:5. AND THEY SAID (TO) HIM, IN BETHLEHEM (or Beit-Lechem) OF (JUDEA): FOR THUS IT IS WRITTEN BY THE PROPHET,
Mt 2:6. AND (YOU) BETHLEHEM (or Beit-Lechem), IN THE LAND OF JUDA, (ARE BY NO MEANS) THE LEAST AMONG THE PRINCES (or leaders, or rulers) OF JUDA: FOR (FROM) (YOU) SHALL COME A GOVERNOR (or Ruler), THAT SHALL RULE (or be the Shepherd of-NIV) MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.
Mt 2:7. THEN HEROD, WHEN HE HAD (SECRETLY) CALLED THE WISE MEN (or Magi), (ASKED) OF THEM DILIGENTLY (WHEN) THE STAR APPEARED.
Mt 2:8. AND HE SENT THEM TO BETHLEHEM (or Beit-Lechem), AND SAID, GO AND SEARCH DILIGENTLY (or carefully) FOR THE YOUNG CHILD; AND WHEN (YOU) HAVE FOUND HIM, (REPORT TO ME) (or let me know) AGAIN, THAT I MAY COME AND WORSHIP HIM ALSO.
Mt 2:9. (AFTER) THEY HAD (LISTENED TO) THE KING, THEY DEPARTED; AND, (BEHOLD), THE STAR, WHICH THEY SAW IN THE EAST, WENT (IN FRONT OF) THEM, TILL IT CAME AND (STOPPED) OVER WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS.
Mt 2:10. WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR, THEY (WERE OVERJOYED).
Mt 2:11. AND WHEN THEY WERE COME INTO THE HOUSE, THEY SAW THE YOUNG CHILD WITH MARY HIS MOTHER, AND (they) FELL DOWN, AND WORSHIPED HIM: AND WHEN THEY HAD OPENED THEIR (BAGS), THEY PRESENTED (TO) HIM GIFTS; GOLD, AND FRANKINCENSE (or incense), AND MYRRH.
Mt 2:12. AND BEING (divinely) WARNED (BY) GOD IN A DREAM THAT THEY SHOULD NOT RETURN (back) TO HEROD, THEY (RETURNED) INTO THEIR OWN COUNTRY (by) ANOTHER WAY.

Mt 2:13. AND (AFTER THEY HAD GONE), BEHOLD, THE ANGEL OF THE LORD (APPEARED) TO JOSEPH IN A DREAM, SAYING, (GET UP), AND TAKE THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, AND FLEE (or escape) INTO EGYPT, AND (STAY) THERE UNTIL I (TELL YOU TO LEAVE): FOR HEROD WILL (SEARCH) (or look for) THE YOUNG CHILD (IN ORDER TO KILL HIM-JNT).
Mt 2:14. WHEN HE (GOT UP), HE TOOK THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER (DURING THE) NIGHT, AND (LEFT FOR) EGYPT:
Mt 2:15. AND (STAYED) THERE UNTIL THE DEATH OF HEROD: THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN OF THE LORD BY THE PROPHET, SAYING, OUT OF EGYPT HAVE I CALLED MY SON.
Mt 2:16. THEN HEROD, WHEN HE (REALIZED) THAT HE WAS MOCKED (or tricked, or outwitted, or deceived) OF THE WISE MEN (or Magi), (he) WAS (ENRAGED) (or furious, or angry), AND SENT FORTH, AND (GAVE ORDERS TO KILL) ALL THE (male) CHILDREN (or boys) THAT WERE IN BETHLEHEM, AND IN ALL THE COASTS (or environs, or vicinity, or districts) THEREOF, FROM TWO YEARS OLD AND UNDER, ACCORDING TO (or calculating) THE TIME WHICH HE HAD DILIGENTLY INQUIRED (or ascertained, or learned, or determined) (FROM) THE WISE MEN (or Magi).
Mt 2:17. THEN WAS FULFILLED THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY JEREMIAH THE PROPHET, SAYING,
Mt 2:18. IN (RAMAH) WAS THERE A VOICE HEARD, LAMENTATION, AND WEEPING, AND GREAT MOURNING (or sobbing and lamenting loudly-JNT), (It was) RACHEL WEEPING (or sobbing) FOR HER CHILDREN, AND WOULD NOT (or refused to) BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY (ARE NO LONGER ALIVE) (or were no more).

Mt 2:19. BUT WHEN HEROD WAS DEAD, BEHOLD, AN ANGEL OF THE LORD (or Adonai) (APPEARED) IN A DREAM TO JOSEPH IN EGYPT,
Mt 2:20. SAYING, (GET UP), AND TAKE THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, AND GO INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL: FOR THEY ARE DEAD WHICH (WERE TRYING TO TAKE) THE YOUNG CHILD'S LIFE.).
Mt 2:21. AND HE (GOT UP), AND TOOK THE YOUNG CHILD AND HIS MOTHER, AND CAME (back) INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

Mt 2:22. BUT WHEN HE HEARD THAT ARCHELAUS DID REIGN (OVER) (JUDEA) (as king of Y’hudah-JNT) IN (PLACE) (or instead) OF HIS FATHER HEROD, HE WAS AFRAID TO GO (THERE): NOTWITHSTANDING, BEING WARNED OF GOD IN A DREAM, HE TURNED ASIDE (or departed, or withdrew) INTO THE (REGIONS) (or district) OF GALILEE:
Mt 2:23. AND HE CAME AND (SETTLED) (or resided, or lived) IN A (TOWN) CALLED NAZARETH: THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHETS, (that) HE SHALL BE CALLED A NAZARENE.

Lk 2:39. AND WHEN (JOSEPH AND MARY) HAD PERFORMED ALL THINGS (REQUIRED BY) THE LAW OF THE LORD, THEY RETURNED INTO GALILEE, TO THEIR OWN CITY (or town of) NAZARETH.
(Commentary-note, it did not say the law of Moses but the law of "the Lord" which includes the prophesied going into Egypt and returning from Egypt to Israel)

Lk 2:40. AND THE CHILD GREW, AND (BECAME) STRONG IN SPIRIT, FILLED (or increasing) WITH WISDOM: AND THE GRACE (or favor) OF GOD WAS UPON HIM.

Lk 2:41. NOW HIS PARENTS WENT TO JERUSALEM EVERY YEAR AT THE FEAST (or festival) OF THE PASSOVER.
Lk 2:42. AND WHEN HE WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD, THEY WENT UP TO JERUSALEM (ACCORDING TO) THE CUSTOM OF THE FEAST.
Lk 2:43. AND WHEN THEY HAD FULFILLED THE (full number of) DAYS (or after the feast was over-NIV), AS THEY RETURNED (home), THE CHILD JESUS (STAYED) BEHIND IN JERUSALEM; AND JOSEPH AND HIS MOTHER (or parents) (WERE UNAWARE) OF IT.
Lk 2:44. BUT THEY, (THINKING HE WAS) (somewhere) IN THE (CARAVAN), WENT A DAY'S JOURNEY (on the road); AND (then) THEY (BEGAN SEARCHING FOR) HIM AMONG THEIR (RELATIVES) AND (FRIENDS).
Lk 2:45. AND WHEN THEY FOUND HIM NOT, THEY TURNED BACK AGAIN TO JERUSALEM, SEEKING HIM.
Lk 2:46. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT AFTER THREE DAYS (or on the third day-JNT) THEY FOUND HIM IN THE TEMPLE (courts), SITTING (AMONG) THE DOCTORS (or teachers, or rabbis), BOTH (LISTENING TO) THEM, AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS.
Lk 2:47. AND ALL THAT HEARD HIM WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS UNDERSTANDING (or insight) AND ANSWERS.
Lk 2:48. AND WHEN (HIS PARENTS) SAW HIM, THEY WERE (SHOCKED): AND HIS MOTHER SAID (TO) HIM, SON, WHY (HAVE) (YOU) (TREATED) US (THIS WAY)? BEHOLD, (YOUR) FATHER AND I HAVE (BEEN…SEARCHING FOR) (YOU). (I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY WORRIED-JNT).
Lk 2:49. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (WHY) IS IT THAT (YOU) (HAVE TO LOOK FOR-JNT) ME? (DID) (YOU) NOT (know) THAT I MUST BE (CONCERNING) (Myself with) MY FATHER'S (AFFAIRS) (or that I had to be in My Father’s house-NIV)?
Lk 2:50. AND THEY UNDERSTOOD NOT THE (STATEMENT) WHICH HE (SPOKE) (TO) THEM (or they didn’t understand what He meant-JNT).

Lk 2:51. AND (so) HE WENT DOWN WITH THEM, AND CAME TO NAZARETH, AND (CONTINUED IN SUBJECTION) (or was obedient) (TO) THEM: BUT HIS MOTHER (STORED UP) ALL THESE SAYINGS (or things) IN HER HEART.
Lk 2:52. AND JESUS INCREASED (or grew) IN WISDOM AND STATURE, AND (gaining) IN FAVOR WITH GOD AND (OTHER PEOPLE).

Lk 1:80. AND THE CHILD GREW, AND (BECAME) STRONG IN SPIRIT, AND WAS (or lived) IN THE DESERTS (UNTIL) THE DAY OF HIS (PUBLIC APPEARANCE) (or manifestation) (TO) ISRAEL.

Lk 3:1. NOW IN THE FIFTEENTH YEAR OF THE REIGN OF (EMPEROR TIBERIUS), PONTIUS PILATE BEING GOVERNOR OF (JUDEA), AND HEROD BEING TETRARCH OF GALILEE, AND HIS BROTHER PHILIP TETRARCH OF (ITUREA) AND OF THE REGION OF TRACHONITIS, AND LYSANIAS (was) THE TETRARCH OF ABILENE,
Lk 3:2. ANNAS AND CAIAPHAS BEING THE HIGH PRIESTS, THE WORD OF GOD CAME (TO) JOHN THE SON OF ZACHARIAS IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert).

Jn 1:6. THERE WAS A MAN (who was) SENT FROM GOD, WHOSE NAME WAS JOHN.
Jn 1:7. (HE) CAME FOR A WITNESS (or testimony), TO (TESTIFY) (CONCERNING) THE LIGHT, (so) THAT ALL MEN THROUGH HIM MIGHT BELIEVE (or trust) (or so that through Him, everyone might put his trust in God and be faithful to Him-JNT).
Jn 1:8. HE (himself) WAS NOT THAT LIGHT, (no) BUT (he) WAS SENT TO (TESTIFY) (CONCERNING) THAT LIGHT.
Jn 1:9. (THIS) WAS THE TRUE LIGHT, WHICH (GIVES LIGHT TO) EVERY MAN THAT (WAS COMING) INTO THE WORLD.
Jn 1:10. HE WAS IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS MADE BY HIM, AND (yet) THE WORLD (DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM).
Jn 1:11. HE CAME (TO) (that which was) HIS (OWN HOMELAND), AND (yet) (those who were) HIS OWN (people) RECEIVED HIM NOT.
Jn 1:12. BUT AS MANY AS RECEIVED HIM, TO THEM GAVE HE (the) POWER (or right) TO BECOME THE SONS (or children) OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM THAT BELIEVE (or put their trust) (IN) HIS NAME (or person and power-JNT):
Jn 1:13. (Children) WHICH WERE BORN, NOT OF BLOOD (or natural descent, or bloodline), NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH (or human decision, or physical impulse), NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN (or a husband’s will, or human intention), BUT (born) OF GOD.
Jn 1:14. AND THE WORD WAS MADE (or became) FLESH (or became a human being-JNT), AND (LIVED) AMONG US, (AND WE BEHELD HIS GLORY, THE GLORY AS OF THE [One and] ONLY BEGOTTEN [Son] OF THE FATHER,) FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH.
Jn 1:15. JOHN BARE WITNESS (or testifies) OF HIM, AND CRIED (out), SAYING, THIS WAS HE OF WHOM I (WAS TALKING ABOUT) (when I said), HE THAT (COMES) AFTER ME IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME (or has surpassed me, or has a higher rank than I-NASB): FOR HE (EXISTED) BEFORE ME.
Jn 1:16. AND OF HIS FULLNESS HAVE ALL WE RECEIVED, (yes) AND GRACE FOR (or upon) GRACE (or one blessing after another-NIV).
Jn 1:17. FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN (THROUGH) MOSES, BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME BY JESUS CHRIST (or the Messiah).
Jn 1:18. NO MAN (HAS) SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; (but) THE (One and) ONLY (or unique) BEGOTTEN SON (Who is identical with God-JNT), WHICH IS IN THE BOSOM OF THE FATHER (or is at the Father’s side-NIV), HE (HAS) DECLARED (or explained) HIM.

Mt 3:1. (Now) (DURING) THOSE DAYS CAME JOHN THE BAPTIST (or the Immerser arrived-JNT) PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert) OF (JUDEA),
Mt 3:2. AND (PROCLAIMING THE MESSAGE), REPENT YE: (or turn from your sins to God-JNT) FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS (NEAR).
Mt 3:3. FOR THIS IS (THE MAN) THAT WAS SPOKEN OF BY THE PROPHET (ISAIAH), SAYING, THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING (or calling) IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), PREPARE YE (or make ready) THE WAY (FOR) THE LORD (or Adonai), MAKE (STRAIGHT PATHS FOR HIM!).
Mt 3:4. AND THE SAME JOHN (WORE CLOTHES) OF CAMEL'S HAIR, AND A (LEATHER BELT) ABOUT HIS (WAIST); AND HIS (FOOD) WAS LOCUSTS AND WILD HONEY.
Mt 3:5. THEN (people) WENT OUT TO HIM (from) JERUSALEM, AND ALL (JUDEA), AND ALL THE (whole) REGION (or district) (AROUND) (the) JORDAN,
Mt 3:6. AND WERE (being) BAPTIZED (or immersed) (BY) HIM IN (the) JORDAN (River), (AS THEY CONFESSED THEIR SINS-NASB).

Mk 1:2. AS IT IS WRITTEN IN (ISAIAH THE PROPHET), BEHOLD, I (will) SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU), WHICH SHALL PREPARE (YOUR) WAY BEFORE (YOU).
Mk 1:3. THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING (or calling) IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), PREPARE YE (or make ready) THE WAY (FOR) THE LORD, MAKE (STRAIGHT PATHS FOR HIM)
Mk 1:4. (So) JOHN (the Immerser) DID BAPTIZE IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), AND PREACH THE BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE FOR THE (FORGIVENESS) OF SINS (or proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven-JNT).
Mk 1:5. AND THERE WENT OUT (TO) HIM ALL THE (COUNTRYSIDE) OF (JUDEA), AND (THE PEOPLE) OF JERUSALEM, AND (they) WERE ALL BAPTIZED (or immersed) OF HIM IN THE RIVER OF JORDAN, CONFESSING THEIR SINS.
Mk 1:6. AND JOHN WAS CLOTHED WITH CAMEL'S HAIR, AND WITH A (LEATHER BELT) ABOUT HIS (WAIST); AND HE DID EAT LOCUSTS AND WILD HONEY;

Lk 3:3. AND HE (WENT) INTO ALL THE (REGION) (AROUND) (the) JORDAN, PREACHING THE BAPTISM OF REPENTANCE FOR THE (FORGIVENESS) OF SINS (or proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven-JNT);
Lk 3:4. AS IT IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE WORDS OF (ISAIAH) THE PROPHET, SAYING, THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE (STRAIGHT PATHS FOR HIM).
Lk 3:5. EVERY VALLEY (or ravine) SHALL BE FILLED (in), AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL SHALL BE BROUGHT LOW (or leveled off); AND THE CROOKED (or winding roads) SHALL BE MADE STRAIGHT, AND THE ROUGH WAYS (or roads) SHALL BE MADE SMOOTH;
Lk 3:6. AND ALL (MANKIND) SHALL SEE THE SALVATION (or deliverance) OF GOD.

Mt 3:7. BUT WHEN HE SAW MANY OF THE PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES COME TO HIS BAPTISM (or coming to where he was baptizing-NIV, or coming to be immersed by him-JNT), HE SAID (TO) THEM, O GENERATION (or brood) OF (SNAKES), WHO (HAS) WARNED YOU TO FLEE (or escape) FROM THE WRATH (or punishment) TO COME?
Mt 3:8. BRING FORTH THEREFORE (or produce, or bear) FRUITS (WORTHY) (OF) REPENTANCE (or fruit in keeping with repentance-NASB) (or if you have really turned from your sins to God, produce fruit that will prove it!-JNT):
Mt 3:9. AND THINK NOT TO SAY (or think) WITHIN YOURSELVES (or don’t suppose you can comfort yourselves by saying-JNT), WE HAVE ABRAHAM (FOR) OUR FATHER: FOR I (TELL YOU), THAT GOD IS ABLE OF THESE STONES TO RAISE UP CHILDREN (or sons) (TO) ABRAHAM.
Mt 3:10. AND NOW (ALREADY) THE AXE IS LAID (TO) THE ROOT OF THE TREES (ready to strike): THEREFORE EVERY TREE WHICH (DOES NOT BEAR) (or produce) GOOD FRUIT IS (CUT) (or chopped) DOWN, AND (THROWN) INTO THE FIRE.

Lk 3:7. THEN SAID HE (John) TO THE (CROWDS) THAT CAME FORTH TO BE BAPTIZED (or immersed) (BY) HIM, O GENERATION (or brood) OF (SNAKES), WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE (or escape) FROM THE WRATH TO COME?
Lk 3:8. (PRODUCE) FRUITS WORTHY OF (or in keeping with) REPENTANCE (or if you have really turned from your sins, produce fruit that will prove it-JNT), AND BEGIN NOT TO SAY WITHIN YOURSELVES, WE HAVE ABRAHAM (FOR) OUR FATHER: FOR I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT GOD IS ABLE OF THESE STONES TO RAISE UP CHILDREN (FOR) ABRAHAM.
Lk 3:9. AND NOW ALSO THE (AX) IS (already) LAID (AT) THE ROOT OF THE TREES (ready to strike): EVERY TREE THEREFORE WHICH (DOES NOT PRODUCE) GOOD FRUIT IS (CUT) DOWN, AND CAST INTO THE FIRE.
Lk 3:10. AND THE (CROWD) ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHAT SHALL WE DO THEN?

Lk 3:11. HE (ANSWERED)) AND (SAID) (TO) THEM, HE THAT (HAS) TWO COATS, LET HIM (SHARE WITH) HIM THAT (HAS) NONE; AND HE THAT (HAS) (FOOD), LET HIM DO (THE SAME).
Lk 3:12. THEN CAME ALSO (some) (TAX COLLECTORS) TO BE BAPTIZED (or immersed), AND SAID (TO) HIM, MASTER (or Teacher, or Rabbi), WHAT SHALL WE DO?
Lk 3:13. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (COLLECT) NO MORE THAN THAT WHICH IS APPOINTED YOU (or no more than the government assesses-NIV).
Lk 3:14. AND (SOME) SOLDIERS LIKEWISE (WERE QUESTIONING) HIM, SAYING, AND WHAT (about us, what) SHALL WE DO? AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, DO VIOLENCE TO NO MAN (or do not take money from anyone by force-NASB, or don’t intimidate anyone, or don’t extort money), NEITHER ACCUSE ANY FALSELY; AND BE CONTENT (or satisfied) WITH YOUR WAGES.

Mt 3:11. (AS FOR ME, I) BAPTIZE (or am immersing) YOU WITH WATER (FOR) REPENTANCE (or so that you might turn from sin to God-JNT): BUT (THE ONE) THAT (IS COMING) AFTER ME IS MIGHTIER (or more powerful) THAN I, WHOSE SHOES (or sandals) I AM NOT WORTHY (or fit) TO BEAR (or carry, or I am not fit to remove His sandals-NASB): HE SHALL BAPTIZE (or immerse) YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND (IN) FIRE:
Mt 3:12. WHOSE FAN (or winnowing fork) IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY PURGE (or clean, or clear out) HIS (threshing) FLOOR, AND (He will) GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO THE GARNER (or barn); BUT HE WILL BURN UP THE CHAFF (or straw) WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.

Mk 1:7. AND PREACHED, SAYING, THERE (COMES) ONE MIGHTIER (or more powerful) THAN I AFTER ME, THE (STRAP) OF WHOSE (SANDALS) I AM NOT WORTHY TO (even) STOOP DOWN AND (UNTIE).
Mk 1:8. I INDEED HAVE BAPTIZED (or immersed) YOU WITH WATER: BUT HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit).

Lk 3:15. AND AS THE PEOPLE WERE IN (a state of) (great) EXPECTATION (or were waiting expectantly), AND ALL MEN (WERE WONDERING) IN THEIR HEARTS (ABOUT) JOHN, (as to) WHETHER HE WERE (possibly) THE CHRIST, OR NOT;
Lk 3:16. JOHN ANSWERED, SAYING (TO) THEM ALL, I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER; BUT ONE MIGHTIER (or more powerful) THAN I (IS COMING), THE (SANDAL STRAP) OF WHOSE (SANDALS) I AM NOT WORTHY (UNTIE): HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) AND WITH FIRE:
Lk 3:17. WHOSE FAN (or winnowing fork) IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE WILL THOROUGHLY PURGE (or clear) (out) HIS (threshing) FLOOR (or He has with Him His winnowing fork to clear out His threshing floor-JNT), AND WILL GATHER THE WHEAT INTO HIS (BARN); BUT THE CHAFF HE WILL BURN WITH FIRE UNQUENCHABLE.
Lk 3:18. AND (with) MANY OTHER THINGS (or words, or warnings besides these) IN HIS EXHORTATION PREACHED HE (the Gospel or Good News) (TO) THE PEOPLE.

Mt 3:13. THEN (CAME) (or arrived) JESUS FROM GALILEE TO (the) JORDAN (COMING TO) JOHN, TO BE BAPTIZED (or immersed) OF HIM.

Mk 1:9 (Part 1). AND IT (CAME ABOUT) (shortly thereafter) IN THOSE DAYS, THAT JESUS CAME FROM NAZARETH OF GALILEE,

Mt 3:14. BUT JOHN (TRIED TO STOP) (or prevent) HIM, SAYING, I HAVE NEED TO BE BAPTIZED (or immersed) OF (YOU), AND (YOU COME) TO ME?
Mt 3:15. AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID (TO) HIM, (LET) (or permit) IT TO BE (THIS WAY) (AT THIS TIME): FOR (IN THIS WAY) (WE SHOULD) (DO EVERYTHING) RIGHTEOUSNESS (requires). THEN HE (PERMITTED) (or allowed) HIM.

Mt 3:16. AND JESUS, (AS SOON AS) HE WAS BAPTIZED (or immersed), (He) WENT UP (IMMEDIATELY) OUT OF THE WATER: AND, (BEHOLD), (at that moment) THE HEAVENS WERE OPENED (TO) HIM, AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD (COMING DOWN) LIKE A DOVE, AND LIGHTING (or coming) UPON HIM:
Mt 3:17. AND (BEHOLD) (suddenly) A VOICE (came) (OUT OF THE HEAVENS), SAYING, THIS IS MY BELOVED SON (Whom I love), IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.

MK 1:9 (Part 2). AND WAS BAPTIZED (or immersed) (BY) JOHN IN (the) JORDAN.
Mk 1:10. AND (IMMEDIATELY) (as Jesus was) COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER, HE SAW (HEAVEN BEING) OPENED, AND THE SPIRIT LIKE A DOVE DESCENDING UPON HIM:
Mk 1:11. AND THERE CAME A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, (YOU) (ARE) MY (SON, WHOM I LOVE), IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.

Lk 3:21. NOW WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE WERE (being) BAPTIZED, IT CAME TO PASS, THAT JESUS ALSO (was) BEING BAPTIZED, AND (while He was) PRAYING, THE HEAVEN WAS OPENED,
Lk 3:22. AND THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) DESCENDED IN A BODILY SHAPE (or physical form) LIKE A DOVE UPON HIM, AND A VOICE CAME FROM HEAVEN, WHICH SAID, (YOU) (ARE) MY (SON, WHOM I LOVE); IN (YOU) I AM WELL PLEASED.

Lk 3:23 (Part 1). AND JESUS HIMSELF (WAS) ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OF AGE (when He began His public ministry-JNT). (Note: Jesus was "about" 30 when he began his public ministry. It did not say exactly. He could have been a bit older. Many believe his ministry lasted 3˝ years. He died on Passover. Since Passover is usually around our April, Jesus could have been born between August and November).

Mt 4:1. THEN WAS JESUS LED UP (BY) THE SPIRIT INTO THE WILDERNESS (or desert) TO BE TEMPTED (BY) THE DEVIL (or adversary).

Mk 1:12. AND IMMEDIATELY THE SPIRIT (DROVE) (or impelled, or sent) HIM INTO THE WILDERNESS.

Lk 4:1. AND (then) JESUS BEING (FILLED WITH) THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) RETURNED FROM (the) JORDAN, AND WAS LED (about) BY THE SPIRIT INTO THE WILDERNESS (or desert),

Mt 4:2. AND WHEN HE HAD FASTED FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS, HE (BECAME HUNGRY).
Mt 4:3. AND WHEN THE TEMPTER CAME TO HIM, HE SAID, IF (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND THAT THESE STONES (BECOME) BREAD.
Mt 4:4. BUT (JESUS) ANSWERED AND SAID, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE (ON) BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT (COMES) OUT (FROM) THE MOUTH OF GOD.

Mk 1:13. AND HE WAS THERE IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert) FORTY DAYS, (being) TEMPTED (BY) SATAN (or the Adversary); AND (He) WAS WITH THE WILD BEASTS (or ANIMALS); AND THE ANGELS (ATTENDED) (TO) HIM (or took care of Him-JNT).

Lk 4:2. BEING FORTY DAYS TEMPTED (or tested) (BY) THE DEVIL. AND IN THOSE DAYS HE DID EAT NOTHING: AND WHEN THEY (HAD) ENDED, HE AFTERWARD (WAS HUNGRY).
Lk 4:3. AND THE DEVIL SAID (TO) HIM, IF (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND THIS STONE THAT IT (BECOME) BREAD.
Lk 4:4. AND JESUS ANSWERED HIM, SAYING, IT IS WRITTEN, THAT MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD OF GOD.

Mt 4:5. THEN THE DEVIL (or Adversary) (TOOK) HIM UP INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND (HAD HIM STAND) ON (THE HIGHEST POINT) OF THE TEMPLE,
Mt 4:6. AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, IF (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD, (THROW) (YOURSELF) DOWN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, HE SHALL (COMMAND) HIS ANGELS (TO BE RESPONSIBLE) (OVER) (YOU): AND (ON) THEIR HANDS THEY SHALL (LIFT) (or support) (YOU) UP, LEST AT ANY TIME (YOU) DASH (STRIKE) (or hurt) (YOUR) FOOT ON THE STONES).
Mt 4:7. JESUS (REPLIED) (TO) HIM, IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN (or on the other hand-NASB, or it also says), (YOU) (SHALL) NOT TEMPT THE LORD (YOUR) GOD (or put the Lord your God to the test-NASB).

Lk 4:9. AND HE (the devil) BROUGHT (or led) HIM TO JERUSALEM, AND SET HIM (or had Him stand) ON (THE) (HIGHEST POINT) OF THE TEMPLE, AND SAID (TO) HIM, IF (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD, (THROW) (YOURSELF) DOWN FROM (HERE):
Lk 4:10. FOR IT IS WRITTEN, HE SHALL (COMMAND) HIS ANGELS (TO BE RESPONSIBLE) (CONCERNING) (YOU), TO KEEP (or guard, or protect) (YOU) (carefully):
Lk 4:11. AND (WITH) THEIR HANDS THEY SHALL BEAR (or support) (YOU) UP, LEST AT ANY TIME (YOU) (STRIKE) (YOUR) FOOT AGAINST A STONE.
Lk 4:12. AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID (TO) HIM, IT IS SAID, (YOU) (SHALL) NOT TEMPT THE LORD (YOUR) GOD (or put your God to the test-NASB).

Mt 4:8. AGAIN, THE DEVIL (or Adversary) (TOOK) HIM UP INTO (the summit of) AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN, AND (SHOWED) HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD, (IN ALL THEIR GLORY) (or splendor);
Mt 4:9. AND (he) (SAID) (TO) HIM, ALL THESE THINGS WILL I GIVE (YOU), IF (YOU) (WILL) FALL (or bow) DOWN AND WORSHIP ME.
Mt 4:10. THEN (SAID) JESUS (TO) HIM, GET THEE HENCE (or Begone, or Away from Me), SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, (YOU) (SHALL) WORSHIP THE LORD (YOUR) GOD, AND HIM ONLY (SHALL) (YOU) SERVE.

Lk 4:5. AND THE DEVIL, (TOOK) HIM UP INTO AN HIGH MOUNTAIN (or place), (and) (SHOWED) UNTO HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD IN A MOMENT OF TIME.
Lk 4:6. AND THE DEVIL SAID (TO) HIM, ALL THIS POWER (or domain, or authority) WILL I GIVE (YOU), AND THE GLORY (or splendor) OF THEM: FOR THAT IS DELIVERED (or has been given) (TO) ME; AND TO (WHOMEVER) I (WISH) I GIVE IT (or I can give it to anyone I want to-NIV).
Lk 4:7. (So) IF (YOU) THEREFORE (WILL) WORSHIP ME, (it) ALL SHALL BE (YOURS).
Lk 4:8. AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN: FOR IT IS WRITTEN, (YOU) (SHALL) WORSHIP THE LORD (YOUR) GOD, AND HIM ONLY (SHALL) (YOU) SERVE.

Mt 4:11. THEN THE DEVIL (or Adversary) (LEFT) HIM (or let Him alone), AND, BEHOLD, ANGELS CAME AND (ATTENDED) (TO) HIM (or took care of Him-JNT).

Lk 4:13. AND WHEN THE DEVIL HAD (FINISHED) ALL THE TEMPTATION (or testings), HE DEPARTED FROM HIM (or let Him alone) FOR A SEASON (or until an opportune time-NASB).

Jn 1:19. AND (now) THIS IS THE (WITNESS) OF JOHN, WHEN THE JEWS SENT (to him) PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO ASK HIM, WHO (ARE) (YOU)?
Jn 1:20. AND HE (WAS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD), AND DENIED NOT; BUT (STATED CLEARLY), I AM NOT THE CHRIST (or the Messiah).
Jn 1:21. AND THEY ASKED HIM, WHAT THEN? (ARE) (YOU) ELIJAH? AND HE (SAID), I AM NOT. (ARE) (YOU) THAT PROPHET (the one we’re expecting-JNT)? AND HE ANSWERED, NO.
Jn 1:22. THEN (finally) SAID THEY (TO) HIM, WHO (ARE) (YOU)? (Give us an answer-NIV) (so) THAT WE MAY GIVE AN ANSWER TO THEM THAT SENT US. WHAT (SAY) (YOU) OF (YOURSELF)?
Jn 1:23. HE SAID, I AM THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF THE LORD, AS SAID THE PROPHET (ISAIAH).
Jn 1:24. AND THEY (or some of those) WHICH WERE SENT WERE OF THE PHARISEES.
Jn 1:25. AND THEY ASKED HIM, AND SAID (TO) HIM, WHY (BAPTIZE) (YOU) (or why are you immersing people-JNT) THEN, IF (YOU) (ARE) NOT THAT CHRIST (or Messiah), NOR ELIJAH, NEITHER THAT PROPHET?
Jn 1:26. JOHN ANSWERED THEM, SAYING, I BAPTIZE (or am immersing people) (IN) WATER: BUT THERE (STANDS) ONE AMONG YOU, WHOM (YOU) KNOW NOT;
Jn 1:27. HE IT IS, WHO COMING AFTER ME IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME, WHOSE SHOE'S (STRAP) (or sandals) I AM NOT WORTHY (or I’m not good enough even-JNT) TO (UNTIE).
Jn 1:28. THESE THINGS WERE DONE IN (BETHANY) (EAST OF) JORDAN, WHERE JOHN WAS BAPTIZING (or immersing).

Jn 1:29. THE NEXT DAY JOHN (SAW) JESUS COMING (TOWARD) HIM, AND (SAID), (LOOK) THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH (TAKES) AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.

Jn 1:30. THIS IS HE (the One) OF WHOM (I was talking about when-JNT) I SAID, AFTER ME (COMES) A MAN WHICH IS PREFERRED BEFORE ME (or has a higher rank than I-NASB): FOR HE (EXISTED) BEFORE ME.
Jn 1:31. AND I (myself) (DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM): BUT THAT HE SHOULD BE (REVEALED) TO ISRAEL, THEREFORE AM I COME BAPTIZING WITH WATER.

Jn 1:32. AND JOHN (BORE) RECORD, SAYING, I SAW THE SPIRIT DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE, AND IT ABODE (or remained) UPON HIM.
Jn 1:33. AND I KNEW HIM NOT (or I) (did not recognize Him-NASB): BUT HE (the One) THAT SENT ME TO BAPTIZE (or immerse) (IN) WATER, THE SAME SAID (TO) ME, UPON WHOM (YOU) SHALT SEE THE SPIRIT DESCENDING, AND REMAINING ON HIM, THE SAME IS HE (or this is the One-NASB) WHICH (BAPTIZES) (or immerses) WITH THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit).
Jn 1:34. AND I SAW, AND BARE RECORD (or testify) THAT THIS IS THE SON OF GOD.

Jn 1:35. AGAIN THE NEXT DAY AFTER JOHN STOOD, (WITH) TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES;
Jn 1:36. AND LOOKING (AT) JESUS AS HE WALKED (passing by), HE (SAID), (LOOK) THE LAMB OF GOD!
Jn 1:37. AND THE TWO DISCIPLES HEARD HIM SPEAK (this), AND THEY FOLLOWED JESUS.
Jn 1:38. THEN JESUS TURNED (around), AND SAW THEM FOLLOWING, AND (SAID) (TO) THEM, WHAT SEEK (YOU)? THEY SAID (TO) HIM, RABBI, (WHICH IS TO SAY, BEING INTERPRETED, MASTER,) (or Teacher) WHERE (ARE YOU STAYING)?
Jn 1:39. HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, COME AND (you will) SEE. (So) THEY CAME AND SAW WHERE HE (WAS STAYING), AND (they) (STAYED) WITH HIM THAT DAY: FOR IT WAS ABOUT THE TENTH HOUR (or four o’clock in the afternoon-JNT).
Jn 1:40. ONE OF THE TWO WHICH HEARD JOHN SPEAK, AND FOLLOWED (JESUS), WAS ANDREW, SIMON PETER'S BROTHER.
Jn 1:41. (ANDREW) (the) FIRST (thing) (he) (did was to) (FIND) HIS OWN BROTHER SIMON, AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, WE HAVE FOUND THE (MESSIAH), WHICH IS, BEING INTERPRETED, THE CHRIST (or "One Who has been anointed"-JNT).
Jn 1:42. AND HE BROUGHT HIM TO JESUS. AND WHEN JESUS (LOOKED AT) HIM, HE SAID, (YOU) (ARE) SIMON THE SON OF (JONAH) (or John): (YOU) (SHALL) BE CALLED CEPHAS, WHICH IS BY INTERPRETATION, A STONE (or Peter).

Jn 1:43. THE DAY FOLLOWING JESUS WOULD GO FORTH INTO GALILEE, AND (FOUND) PHILIP, AND (Jesus) (SAID) (TO) HIM, FOLLOW ME.
Jn 1:44. NOW PHILIP WAS OF BETHSAIDA, THE CITY OF ANDREW AND PETER.
Jn 1:45. PHILIP (FOUND) NATHANAEL, AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, WE HAVE FOUND HIM (the One), OF WHOM MOSES IN THE LAW, AND THE PROPHETS, DID WRITE, JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE SON OF JOSEPH.
Jn 1:46. AND NATHANAEL SAID (TO) HIM, CAN THERE ANY GOOD THING COME OUT OF NAZARETH? PHILIP (SAID) (TO) HIM, COME AND SEE.
Jn 1:47. JESUS SAW NATHANAEL COMING TO HIM, AND (SAID) OF HIM, BEHOLD AN ISRAELITE (or true son of Israel-JNT) INDEED, IN WHOM IS NO GUILE (or deceit, or nothing false)!
Jn 1:48. NATHANAEL (SAID) (TO) HIM, (HOW DO YOU KNOW-JNT) ME? JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, BEFORE THAT PHILIP CALLED (YOU), WHEN (YOU) (WERE) UNDER THE FIG TREE, I SAW (YOU).
Jn 1:49. NATHANAEL ANSWERED AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, RABBI, (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD; (YOU) (ARE) THE KING OF ISRAEL.
Jn 1:50. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, BECAUSE I SAID (TO) (YOU), I SAW (YOU) UNDER THE FIG TREE, (DO YOU BELIEVE) (all this)? (YOU) (SHALL) SEE GREATER THINGS THAN THESE.
Jn 1:51. AND HE (SAID) (TO) HIM, VERILY, VERILY (or yes indeed) (or most assuredly), I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), HEREAFTER (YOU) SHALL SEE HEAVEN OPEN, AND THE ANGELS OF GOD (GOING UP) AND (COMING DOWN) UPON THE SON OF MAN.

Jn 2:1. AND (on) THE THIRD DAY THERE WAS A MARRIAGE (or wedding) IN CANA OF GALILEE; AND THE MOTHER OF JESUS WAS THERE:
Jn 2:2. AND BOTH JESUS WAS (INVITED), AND HIS DISCIPLES, TO THE MARRIAGE (or wedding).
Jn 2:3. AND WHEN THEY (RAN OUT OF) WINE, THE MOTHER OF JESUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, THEY HAVE NO (more) WINE.
Jn 2:4. (And) JESUS (SAID) (TO) HER, (Dear) WOMAN, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH (YOU) (or why do you involve Me-NIV, or what does your concern have to do with Me-NKJV)? (MY) (TIME) IS NOT YET COME.
Jn 2:5. HIS MOTHER (SAID) (TO) THE SERVANTS, (WHATEVER) HE (SAYS) (TO) YOU, DO IT.
Jn 2:6. AND (nearby) THERE WERE SET THERE SIX WATERPOTS OF STONE, AFTER THE MANNER OF THE PURIFYING (or ceremonial washings) OF THE JEWS (or for the Jewish custom of purification-NASB), CONTAINING TWO OR THREE FIRKINS APIECE (or twenty or thirty gallons each-NASB).
Jn 2:7. JESUS (SAID) (TO) (THE SERVANTS), FILL THE WATERPOTS WITH WATER. AND THEY FILLED THEM UP TO THE BRIM.
Jn 2:8. AND HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, DRAW (some) OUT NOW, AND (TAKE IT) (TO) THE GOVERNOR (or man in charge) OF THE FEAST (or banquet). AND THEY (TOOK) IT (to him).
Jn 2:9. WHEN THE RULER (or man in charge) OF THE FEAST (or banquet) HAD TASTED THE WATER THAT (HAD BECOME) WINE, AND KNEW NOT (WHERE) IT WAS (from): (BUT THE SERVANTS WHICH DREW THE WATER KNEW;) THE GOVERNOR (or master) OF THE FEAST CALLED THE BRIDEGROOM (aside),
Jn 2:10. AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, EVERY MAN AT (FIRST) (BRINGS) FORTH (the) GOOD (or choice) WINE; AND (AFTER) MEN HAVE (HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK-NIV), THEN THAT WHICH IS (the) WORSE (or cheaper, or inferior): BUT (YOU) (HAVE) KEPT THE (BEST) WINE UNTIL NOW.
Jn 2:11. THIS BEGINNING (or first) OF MIRACLES (or miraculous signs) DID JESUS IN CANA OF GALILEE, AND (REVEALED) HIS GLORY; AND HIS DISCIPLES (PUT THEIR FAITH) (or trust in) HIM.

Jn 2:12. AFTER THIS HE WENT DOWN TO CAPERNAUM, HE, AND HIS MOTHER, AND HIS (BROTHERS), AND HIS DISCIPLES: AND THEY CONTINUED THERE (A FEW) DAYS.

Jn 2:13. AND THE JEWS' PASSOVER WAS AT HAND, AND JESUS WENT UP TO JERUSALEM,
Jn 2:14. AND FOUND IN THE TEMPLE (courts or grounds) THOSE (men) THAT SOLD OXEN (or cattle) AND SHEEP AND DOVES (or pigeons), AND THE CHANGERS OF MONEY SITTING (at tables) (doing business):
Jn 2:15. AND WHEN HE HAD MADE A SCOURGE (or whip out) OF SMALL CORDS, HE DROVE THEM ALL OUT OF THE TEMPLE (grounds), AND (both) THE SHEEP, AND THE OXEN (or cattle) (as well); AND POURED OUT (or scattered) THE (money) CHANGERS' (COINS), AND (OVERTURNED) (THEIR) TABLES;
Jn 2:16. AND SAID (TO) THEM THAT SOLD DOVES (or pigeon)(s), TAKE THESE THINGS (AWAY) (or get these things out of here!-NIV); (STOP MAKING) MY FATHER'S HOUSE AN HOUSE OF MERCHANDISE (or How dare you turn My Father’s house into a market?-NIV).
Jn 2:17. AND HIS DISCIPLES REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS WRITTEN, THE ZEAL OF (YOUR) HOUSE (HAS) EATEN ME UP (or zeal for your house will consume [or devour] Me-NIV).
Jn 2:18. THEN ANSWERED THE JEWS AND SAID (TO) HIM, WHAT SIGN (SHOW) (YOU) (TO) US, SEEING THAT (YOU) (DO) THESE THINGS (or what miraculous sign) (do you show to us-NKJV) (to prove you have the-JNT) (authority to do all this-NIV)?
Jn 2:19. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, DESTROY THIS TEMPLE, AND IN THREE DAYS I WILL RAISE IT UP.
Jn 2:20. THEN SAID THE JEWS, FORTY AND SIX YEARS WAS THIS TEMPLE IN BUILDING, AND (WILL) (YOU) (RAISE) IT UP IN THREE DAYS?
Jn 2:21. BUT HE (WAS SPEAKING) OF THE TEMPLE OF HIS BODY.
Jn 2:22. WHEN THEREFORE HE WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, HIS DISCIPLES REMEMBERED THAT HE HAD SAID THIS (TO) THEM; AND THEY BELIEVED (or trusted) THE SCRIPTURE, AND THE WORD WHICH JESUS HAD SAID.
Jn 2:23. NOW WHEN HE WAS IN JERUSALEM AT THE PASSOVER, IN THE FEAST DAY, MANY (people) BELIEVED IN HIS NAME, WHEN THEY SAW THE MIRACLES (or signs) WHICH HE DID.
Jn 2:24. BUT JESUS DID NOT COMMIT (or entrust) HIMSELF (TO) THEM, BECAUSE HE KNEW (WHAT PEOPLE ARE LIKE-JNT),
Jn 2:25. AND (He) NEEDED NOT THAT ANY (one) SHOULD TESTIFY OF MAN: FOR HE KNEW WHAT WAS IN MAN (or He didn’t need anyone to inform Him about a person, because He knew what was in the person’s heart-JNT).

Jn 3:1. (Now) THERE WAS A MAN OF THE PHARISEES, NAMED NICODEMUS, A RULER OF THE JEWS (or member of the Jewish ruling council-NIV):
Jn 3:2. (THIS MAN) CAME TO JESUS BY NIGHT, AND SAID (TO) HIM, RABBI, WE KNOW THAT (YOU) (ARE) A TEACHER COME FROM GOD (or we know it is from God that You have come as a teacher-JNT): FOR NO MAN CAN DO THESE MIRACLES (or miraculous signs) THAT (YOU) (DO), EXCEPT GOD BE WITH HIM.
Jn 3:3. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, (YES, INDEED), I SAY (TO) (YOU) (the truth), (UNLESS) A MAN BE BORN AGAIN (from above), HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD (or no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again-NIV).
Jn 3:4. NICODEMUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD (or grown)? CAN HE ENTER (or go back) THE SECOND TIME INTO HIS MOTHER'S WOMB, AND BE BORN?
Jn 3:5. JESUS ANSWERED, (YES, INDEED), I SAY (TO) (YOU) (the truth), (UNLESS) A MAN BE BORN OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
Jn 3:6. THAT WHICH IS BORN (FROM) THE FLESH IS FLESH; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT (or the Spirit gives birth to spirit-NIV).
Jn 3:7. (STOP BEING AMAZED) THAT I SAID (TO) (YOU), (YOU) MUST BE BORN AGAIN (from above).
Jn 3:8. THE WIND (BLOWS) WHERE IT (WISHES), AND (YOU) (HEAR) THE SOUND (OF IT), BUT (you) (CAN) NOT TELL (WHERE) IT (COMES FROM), AND (WHERE) IT (GOES): SO (that’s how it) IS (with) EVERY ONE THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT.
Jn 3:9. NICODEMUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE (or happen)?
Jn 3:10. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM, (ARE) (YOU) A MASTER (or teacher) OF ISRAEL (or hold the office of teacher in Israel-JNT), AND (DO NOT UNDERSTAND) THESE THINGS?
Jn 3:11. VERILY, VERILY (or yes indeed), I SAY (TO) (YOU) (the truth), WE SPEAK (OF WHAT) WE DO KNOW, AND (GIVE EVIDENCE) (of) THAT (which) WE HAVE SEEN; (BUT) (YOU) (people) (DO NOT RECEIVE) OUR WITNESS (or evidence, or testimony).
Jn 3:12. IF I HAVE TOLD YOU (people) (of) (THE THINGS OF THE WORLD-JNT), AND (YOU) (DO NOT BELIEVE), HOW (then) SHALL (YOU) BELIEVE, IF I TELL YOU OF (THE THINGS OF HEAVEN-JNT)?
Jn 3:13. AND NO MAN (HAS) (ever) ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN, BUT HE THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
Jn 3:14. AND AS MOSES LIFTED UP THE (SNAKE) IN THE WILDERNESS (or desert), EVEN SO MUST THE SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP:

Jn 3:15. THAT (WHOEVER) (BELIEVES) (or trusts) IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT (may) HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.
Jn 3:16. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS (One and) ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT (WHOEVER) (BELIEVES) (or trusts) IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.

Jn 3:17. FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN (or judge) THE WORLD; BUT (rather) THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.
Jn 3:18. HE THAT (BELIEVES) (or trusts) ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED (or judged): BUT HE THAT (DOES NOT BELIEVE) (or do not trust) IS CONDEMNED (or judged) ALREADY, BECAUSE HE (HAS) NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF (or they have not trusted in-JNT) THE (One and) ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

Jn 3:19. AND THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION (or judgment, or verdict), THAT (the) LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD, (BUT) MEN LOVED (the) DARKNESS RATHER THAN (the) LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS (or actions) WERE EVIL (or wicked).
Jn 3:20. FOR EVERY ONE THAT (DOES) EVIL (HATES) THE LIGHT, (AND DOES NOT COME-NASB) TO THE LIGHT (or avoids) (the light), (FOR FEAR THAT) HIS DEEDS (or actions) SHOULD BE REPROVED (or exposed).
Jn 3:21. BUT HE THAT (DOES) (or practices, or lives by) (the) TRUTH (or does what is true-JNT) (COMES) TO THE LIGHT, (so) THAT HIS DEEDS (or actions) MAY BE (SEEN PLAINLY), THAT THEY ARE (ACCOMPLISHED) IN (or through) GOD.

Jn 3:22. AFTER THESE THINGS CAME JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES INTO THE (COUNTRYSIDE) OF (JUDEA); AND THERE HE (SPENT SOME TIME) WITH THEM, AND BAPTIZED (or immersed people).

Jn 3:23. AND JOHN ALSO WAS BAPTIZING (or immersing) IN AENON NEAR TO SALIM, BECAUSE THERE WAS (PLENTY OF) WATER THERE: AND (PEOPLE) (KEPT COMING), AND WERE BAPTIZED (or immersed).
Jn 3:24. FOR JOHN WAS NOT YET CAST INTO PRISON.
Jn 3:25. THEN THERE AROSE A QUESTION (or dispute) BETWEEN SOME OF JOHN'S DISCIPLES AND THE JEWS (or with) (a certain Jew) ABOUT PURIFYING (or the matter of ceremonial washing-NIV).
Jn 3:26. AND THEY CAME (TO) JOHN, AND SAID (TO) HIM, RABBI, HE THAT WAS WITH (YOU) BEYOND (the) JORDAN, TO WHOM (YOU) (SPOKE ABOUT), BEHOLD, (HE) (IS BAPTIZING) (or [is] immersing), AND ALL MEN COME TO HIM.
Jn 3:27. JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID, A MAN CAN RECEIVE NOTHING, EXCEPT IT BE GIVEN HIM FROM HEAVEN.
Jn 3:28. (YOU) YOURSELVES (CAN TESTIFY), THAT I SAID, I AM NOT THE CHRIST (or the Messiah), BUT THAT I AM SENT BEFORE HIM.

Jn 3:29. HE THAT (HAS) THE BRIDE IS THE BRIDEGROOM: BUT THE FRIEND OF THE BRIDEGROOM, WHICH (STANDS) AND (HEARS) HIM, (REJOICES) GREATLY (or is overjoyed) BECAUSE OF THE BRIDEGROOM'S VOICE: THIS MY JOY THEREFORE IS FULFILLED (or complete). (Ref Lk 24:32)

Jn 3:30. HE MUST INCREASE, BUT I MUST DECREASE (or He must become more important, while I become less important-JNT).
Jn 3:31. HE THAT (COMES) FROM ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL: HE THAT IS (FROM) THE EARTH IS EARTHLY (or belongs to the earth-NIV), AND (SPEAKS) (as one) (FROM) THE EARTH (or talks from an earthly point of view-JNT): HE (the One) THAT (COMES) FROM HEAVEN IS ABOVE ALL.
Jn 3:32. AND WHAT HE (HAS) SEEN AND HEARD, (of) THAT HE (TESTIFIES); (BUT) NO MAN (RECEIVES) HIS TESTIMONY (or witness) (or He testifies about what He has actually seen and heard, yet no one accepts what He says!-JNT).
Jn 3:33. HE THAT (HAS) RECEIVED HIS TESTIMONY (or witness) (HAS) (PUT) HIS SEAL (or certified) (to this) (fact), THAT GOD IS (TRUTHFUL).
Jn 3:34. FOR HE (the One) WHOM GOD (HAS) SENT (SPEAKS) THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR GOD (GIVES) (THE SPIRIT WITHOUT LIMIT-NIV) UNTO HIM.
Jn 3:35. THE FATHER (LOVES) THE SON, AND (HAS) (PLACED) ALL THINGS INTO HIS HAND.
Jn 3:36. HE THAT (BELIEVES) (or trusts) (IN) THE SON (HAS) EVERLASTING LIFE: AND HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT (or rejects, or disobeys) THE SON SHALL NOT SEE (that) LIFE; BUT THE WRATH OF GOD (REMAINS) ON HIM.

Jn 4:1. WHEN THEREFORE THE LORD KNEW (THAT) THE PHARISEES HAD HEARD THAT JESUS (WAS GAINING) AND BAPTIZED (or was…immersing) MORE DISCIPLES THAN JOHN,
Jn 4:2. (THOUGH JESUS HIMSELF BAPTIZED [or immersed] NOT, BUT HIS DISCIPLES [were],)

Lk 3:19. BUT HEROD THE TETRARCH, BEING REPROVED (or rebuked, or denounced) BY HIM (John) (BECAUSE OF) (taking as his own wife-JNT) HERODIAS HIS BROTHER PHILIP'S WIFE, AND FOR ALL THE (other) EVILS (or wicked things) WHICH HEROD HAD DONE,

Lk 3:20. (whereupon) (He) ADDED YET THIS ABOVE ALL, THAT HE (LOCKED) UP JOHN IN PRISON.

Mt 4:12. NOW WHEN JESUS HAD HEARD THAT JOHN WAS (PUT) INTO PRISON (or had been taken into custody-NASB), HE DEPARTED (or returned) INTO GALILEE;

Jn 4:3. HE LEFT (JUDEA), AND DEPARTED AGAIN INTO GALILEE.

Jn 4:4. AND (this meant that) HE (HAD TO) GO THROUGH SAMARIA.
Jn 4:5. THEN (CAME) HE TO A CITY OF SAMARIA, WHICH IS CALLED SYCHAR, NEAR TO THE PARCEL OF GROUND (or field) THAT JACOB GAVE TO HIS SON JOSEPH.
Jn 4:6. NOW JACOB'S WELL WAS THERE. JESUS THEREFORE, BEING (TIRED) (FROM) HIS JOURNEY, SAT (BY) THE WELL: AND IT WAS ABOUT (NOON).
Jn 4:7. THERE (CAME) A WOMAN OF SAMARIA TO DRAW WATER: JESUS (SAID) (TO) HER, GIVE ME (A) DRINK (of water).
Jn 4:8. (FOR HIS DISCIPLES WERE GONE AWAY [INTO] THE [TOWN] TO BUY MEAT [or food].)
Jn 4:9. THEN (SAID) THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA (TO) HIM, HOW IS IT THAT (YOU), BEING A JEW, (ASK) (a) DRINK OF ME, WHICH AM A WOMAN OF SAMARIA? FOR THE JEWS HAVE NO DEALINGS WITH THE SAMARITANS.
Jn 4:10. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HER, IF (YOU) (KNEW) THE GIFT OF GOD, AND WHO IT IS THAT (SAID) TO (YOU), GIVE ME (A) DRINK (of water); (then) (YOU) (WOULD) HAVE ASKED OF HIM, AND HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN (YOU) LIVING WATER.
Jn 4:11. THE WOMAN (SAID) (TO) HIM, SIR, (YOU) (HAVE) NOTHING TO DRAW WITH, AND THE WELL IS DEEP: (so) FROM (WHERE) THEN (CAN) (YOU) (get) THAT LIVING WATER?
Jn 4:12. (ARE) (YOU) GREATER THAN OUR FATHER JACOB, WHICH GAVE US THE WELL, AND DRANK (OF IT) HIMSELF, AND (also) HIS CHILDREN, AND HIS CATTLE?
Jn 4:13. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HER, (WHOEVER) (DRINKS) OF THIS WATER SHALL (GET THIRSTY) AGAIN:
Jn 4:14. BUT (WHOEVER) (DRINKS) OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST (again); BUT (on the contrary) THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM SHALL BE IN (side) HIM A WELL (or fountain) OF WATER SPRINGING UP (TO) EVERLASTING LIFE.
Jn 4:15. THE WOMAN (SAID) (TO) HIM, SIR, GIVE ME THIS WATER, (so) THAT I THIRST NOT, NEITHER (have to) COME (all the way here-NASB) TO DRAW (water).
Jn 4:16. JESUS (SAID) (TO) HER, GO, CALL (YOUR) HUSBAND, AND COME (BACK).
Jn 4:17. THE WOMAN ANSWERED AND SAID, I HAVE NO HUSBAND. JESUS SAID (TO) HER, (YOU) (HAVE) WELL SAID, I HAVE NO HUSBAND:
Jn 4:18. FOR (the fact is) (YOU) (HAVE) HAD FIVE HUSBANDS (in the past); AND HE (the one) WHOM (YOU) NOW (HAVE) (or the man your living with now-JNT) IS NOT (YOUR) HUSBAND: IN THAT (YOU’VE SPOKEN THE TRUTH!-JNT).
Jn 4:19. THE WOMAN (SAID) (TO) HIM, SIR, I PERCEIVE THAT (YOU) (ARE) A PROPHET.
Jn 4:20. OUR FATHERS WORSHIPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; (BUT) (YOU) (Jews) SAY, THAT IN JERUSALEM IS THE PLACE WHERE MEN (MUST) WORSHIP.
Jn 4:21. JESUS (SAID) (TO) HER, WOMAN, BELIEVE ME, THE (TIME) (IS COMING), WHEN (YOU) SHALL NEITHER IN THIS MOUNTAIN, NOR YET AT JERUSALEM, WORSHIP THE FATHER.
Jn 4:22. (YOU) (Samaritans) WORSHIP (that) (YOU) (DO NOT KNOW): WE KNOW WHAT WE WORSHIP: FOR SALVATION IS OF THE JEWS.
Jn 4:23. BUT THE (TIME) (IS COMING) AND NOW IS (come), WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPERS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH (or spiritually and truly): FOR THE FATHER (WANTS) (THESE) (kind of people) TO WORSHIP HIM.

Jn 4:24. GOD IS A SPIRIT: AND THEY THAT WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH (or spiritually and truly).
Jn 4:25. THE WOMAN (SAID) (TO) HIM, I KNOW THAT (MESSIAH) (IS COMING), WHICH IS CALLED CHRIST (that is, "the One Who has been anointed"-JNT): WHEN HE IS COME, HE WILL (EXPLAIN TO) US ALL THINGS.
Jn 4:26. JESUS (SAID) (TO) HER, I THAT SPEAK (TO) (YOU) AM HE.
Jn 4:27. AND (AT THIS POINT) CAME HIS DISCIPLES, AND (they) (WERE SURPRISED) THAT HE TALKED WITH THE WOMAN: YET NO MAN SAID, WHAT (DO YOU WANT)? OR, WHY (SPEAK) (YOU) WITH HER?
Jn 4:28. THE WOMAN THEN LEFT HER WATERPOT, AND WENT HER WAY INTO THE (TOWN), AND (SAID) TO THE (PEOPLE),
Jn 4:29. COME, SEE A MAN, WHICH TOLD ME ALL THINGS THAT EVER I DID: IS NOT THIS THE CHRIST (or Messiah)?
Jn 4:30. THEN THEY WENT OUT OF THE (TOWN), AND CAME (TO) HIM.
Jn 4:31. IN THE MEAN WHILE HIS DISCIPLES (WERE REQUESTING) HIM, SAYING, MASTER (or Rabbi), EAT (something).
Jn 4:32. BUT HE SAID (TO) THEM, I HAVE (FOOD) TO EAT THAT (YOU) KNOW (NOTHING ABOUT).
Jn 4:33. THEREFORE SAID THE DISCIPLES ONE TO ANOTHER, (HAS) ANY MAN BROUGHT HIM (ANYTHING) TO EAT?
Jn 4:34. JESUS (SAID) (TO) THEM, MY (FOOD) IS TO DO THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME (or to do what the One Who sent Me wants-JNT), AND TO FINISH HIS WORK.
Jn 4:35. (DO YOU NOT SAY), THERE ARE (STILL) FOUR MONTHS (more), AND THEN (COMES) (the) HARVEST? BEHOLD, I SAY (TO) YOU, (OPEN) UP YOUR EYES, AND LOOK ON THE FIELDS; FOR THEY ARE WHITE (or ripe) ALREADY TO HARVEST.
Jn 4:36. AND HE THAT (REAPS) (RECEIVES) WAGES, AND (HARVESTS THE CROP) (FOR) LIFE ETERNAL: (so) THAT BOTH HE THAT (SOWS) AND HE THAT (REAPS) MAY (BE GLAD) TOGETHER.
Jn 4:37. AND (IN THIS) IS THAT SAYING TRUE, ONE (SOWS), AND ANOTHER (REAPS).
Jn 4:38. I SENT YOU TO REAP THAT WHEREON (YOU) BESTOWED NO LABOR: (for) OTHER MEN (have) (DONE THE HARD WORK-NIV), AND (YOU) (HAVE BENEFITED FROM) THEIR (LABORS).
Jn 4:39. AND MANY OF THE SAMARITANS OF THAT (TOWN) BELIEVED (or put their trust) (IN) HIM (BECAUSE) (of) THE (WORD) OF THE WOMAN, WHICH TESTIFIED, HE TOLD ME ALL (the things) THAT (I HAVE DONE).
Jn 4:40. SO WHEN THE SAMARITANS WERE COME (TO) HIM, THEY (URGED) HIM THAT HE WOULD (STAY) WITH THEM: AND HE (STAYED) THERE TWO (more) DAYS.
Jn 4:41. AND MANY MORE BELIEVED (or came to trust) BECAUSE OF HIS OWN WORD;
Jn 4:42. AND (they) SAID (TO) THE WOMAN, NOW WE BELIEVE (or trust), NOT BECAUSE OF (WHAT YOU SAID): FOR WE HAVE HEARD HIM OURSELVES, AND KNOW THAT THIS (Man) IS INDEED THE CHRIST, THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

Mt 4:17. FROM THAT TIME (on) JESUS BEGAN TO PREACH, AND TO SAY, REPENT (or turn from your sins to God-JNT): FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND (or is near).

Mk 1:14. NOW AFTER THAT JOHN WAS PUT IN PRISON, JESUS CAME INTO GALILEE, PREACHING THE GOSPEL (or Good News) OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD,
Mk 1:15. AND SAYING, THE TIME IS FULFILLED (or has come), AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD (or God’s Kingdom) IS (NEAR): REPENT YE (or turn to God from your sins-JNT), AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL (or Good News).

Lk 4:14. AND JESUS RETURNED IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT (TO) GALILEE: AND THERE WENT OUT A FAME (or news, or reports) OF HIM THROUGH ALL THE (SURROUNDING) (COUNTRYSIDE).
Lk 4:15. AND HE (BEGAN TEACHING) IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, BEING GLORIFIED (or praised, or respected) OF ALL.

Jn 4:43. NOW AFTER TWO DAYS HE DEPARTED (FROM THERE), AND WENT INTO (the) GALILEE.
Jn 4:44. FOR JESUS HIMSELF TESTIFIED, THAT A PROPHET (HAS) NO HONOR (or is not respected) IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.
Jn 4:45. THEN WHEN HE WAS COME INTO GALILEE, THE GALILAEANS RECEIVED HIM, HAVING SEEN ALL THE THINGS THAT HE DID AT JERUSALEM AT THE FEAST (or festival, or Passover): FOR THEY ALSO (HAD GONE) (TO) THE FEAST (there).
Jn 4:46. SO JESUS CAME AGAIN INTO CANA OF GALILEE, WHERE HE MADE THE WATER WINE. AND THERE WAS A CERTAIN NOBLEMAN (or officer in the royal service-JNT), WHOSE SON WAS SICK AT CAPERNAUM.
Jn 4:47. WHEN HE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS COME OUT OF (JUDEA) INTO (the) GALILEE, HE WENT (TO) HIM, AND (BEGGED) HIM THAT HE WOULD COME DOWN, AND HEAL HIS SON: FOR HE WAS AT THE POINT OF DEATH.
Jn 4:48. THEN SAID JESUS (TO) HIM, EXCEPT (YOU PEOPLE) SEE SIGNS AND WONDERS (or miracles), (YOU) (simply) WILL (NEVER) BELIEVE (or trust).
Jn 4:49. THE NOBLEMAN (or royal officer) (SAID) (TO) HIM, SIR, COME DOWN (BEFORE) MY CHILD DIE.
Jn 4:50. JESUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, GO (YOUR) WAY; (YOUR) SON (WILL LIVE). AND THE MAN BELIEVED THE WORD THAT JESUS HAD SPOKEN (TO) HIM, AND HE (DEPARTED).
Jn 4:51. AND AS HE WAS NOW GOING DOWN (on the way), HIS SERVANTS (or slaves) MET HIM, AND TOLD HIM, SAYING, (YOUR) SON (LIVES).
Jn 4:52. THEN INQUIRED HE OF THEM THE HOUR WHEN HE BEGAN TO (GET BETTER). AND THEY SAID (TO) HIM, YESTERDAY AT THE SEVENTH HOUR (or one o’clock in the afternoon-JNT) THE FEVER LEFT HIM.
Jn 4:53. SO THE FATHER KNEW THAT IT WAS AT THE SAME HOUR, IN THE WHICH JESUS SAID (TO) HIM, (YOUR) SON (LIVES): AND (so) (he) HIMSELF BELIEVED (or trusted), AND HIS WHOLE HOUSE (hold).
Jn 4:54. THIS IS AGAIN THE SECOND MIRACLE (or sign) THAT JESUS DID, WHEN HE WAS COME OUT OF (JUDEA) INTO GALILEE.

Lk 4:16. AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS (USUAL), HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP FOR TO READ.
Lk 4:17. AND THERE WAS (HANDED) (TO) HIM THE (SCROLL) OF THE PROPHET (ISAIAH). AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE (SCROLL), HE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS WRITTEN,
Lk 4:18. THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE (HAS) ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL (or Good News) TO THE POOR; HE (HAS) SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH (or proclaim) DELIVERANCE (or release, or freedom) TO THE CAPTIVES (or prisoners, or imprisoned), AND RECOVERING OF (or renewed) SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY (or set free, or release) THEM THAT ARE BRUISED (or trodden down, or oppressed, or crushed),
Lk 4:19. TO PREACH (or proclaim) THE ACCEPTABLE (or favorable) YEAR OF THE LORD.
Lk 4:20. AND HE (ROLLED UP) THE (SCROLL), AND HE GAVE IT (back) AGAIN TO THE MINISTER (or attendant), AND SAT DOWN. AND THE EYES OF ALL THEM THAT WERE IN THE SYNAGOGUE WERE (FIXED) ON HIM.
Lk 4:21. AND HE BEGAN TO SAY (TO) THEM, THIS DAY (or today) IS THIS SCRIPTURE FULFILLED IN YOUR EARS (or hearing) (or "Today, as you heard it read, this passage in the Tanakh was fulfilled!"-JNT).

Lk 4:22. AND ALL BARE HIM WITNESS (or spoke well of Him-NIV), AND (WERE AMAZED) AT THE GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. AND THEY SAID, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH'S SON (or everyone was speaking well of Him and marvelling that such appealing words were coming from His mouth. They were even asking, "Can this be Yosef’s son?"-JNT)?
Lk 4:23. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (YOU) WILL (NO DOUBT) (QUOTE) (TO) ME THIS PROVERB, (DOCTOR), HEAL (YOURSELF): (WHATEVER) WE HAVE HEARD DONE IN CAPERNAUM, DO ALSO HERE IN (YOUR) (HOME TOWN) (as well).
Lk 4:24. AND HE SAID, (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU, NO PROPHET IS ACCEPTED (or welcome) IN HIS OWN (HOME TOWN).
Lk 4:25. BUT I TELL YOU OF A TRUTH (or I assure you), MANY WIDOWS WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE DAYS OF ELIJAH, WHEN THE HEAVEN (or sky) WAS SHUT UP (or sealed off) THREE YEARS AND SIX MONTHS, WHEN (a) (SEVERE) FAMINE WAS THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND;
Lk 4:26. BUT (TO) NONE OF THEM WAS ELIJAH SENT, (EXCEPT) (TO) (ZAREPHATH), A CITY (or region) OF SIDON, (TO) A WOMAN THAT WAS A WIDOW.
Lk 4:27. AND MANY LEPERS (or people with serious skin diseases-JNT) WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE TIME OF (ELISHA) THE PROPHET; AND NONE OF THEM WAS CLEANSED, (EXCEPT) NAAMAN THE SYRIAN.
Lk 4:28. AND ALL THEY IN THE SYNAGOGUE, WHEN THEY HEARD THESE THINGS, WERE FILLED WITH WRATH (or rage, or fury),
Lk 4:29. AND (they) (GOT) UP, AND THRUST (or cast, or drove) HIM OUT OF THE (TOWN), AND LED (or took, or dragged) HIM (TO) THE (EDGE) OF THE HILL (or cliff) WHEREON THEIR (TOWN) WAS BUILT, THAT THEY MIGHT (THROW) HIM DOWN HEADLONG (down the cliff).

Lk 4:30. BUT HE PASSING THROUGH THE MIDST OF THEM (or walked through the middle of the crowd and-JNT) WENT (on) HIS WAY,

Mt 4:13. AND LEAVING NAZARETH (or Natzeret), HE CAME AND DWELT (or settled, or lived) IN CAPERNAUM, WHICH IS (BY) THE (LAKE), (a lakeshore town), (NEAR) THE BORDERS (or regions, or area, or boundary) (BETWEEN) (ZEBULUN AND NAPHTALI):
Mt 4:14. (This happened) (TO FULFILL WHAT) WAS SPOKEN (THROUGH) (ISAIAH) THE PROPHET, SAYING,
Mt 4:15. THE LAND OF ZABULON (or Zebulun), AND THE LAND OF NEPHTHALIM (or Naphtali), BY THE WAY OF (or toward) THE (LAKE), (ALONG THE) JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES;
Mt 4:16. THE PEOPLE (LIVING) IN DARKNESS SAW (a) GREAT LIGHT; AND TO THEM (LIVING) IN THE REGION (or land) AND (in the) SHADOW OF DEATH (upon them) LIGHT IS SPRUNG UP (or dawned).

Mt 4:18. AND JESUS, WALKING (BESIDE) THE (LAKE) OF GALILEE, SAW TWO (BROTHERS), SIMON (who was) CALLED PETER, AND ANDREW HIS BROTHER, (they were) (THROWING) A NET INTO THE (LAKE): FOR THEY WERE (FISHERMEN).

Mk 1:16. NOW AS (JESUS) WALKED BY THE (LAKE) OF GALILEE, HE SAW SIMON AND ANDREW HIS BROTHER CASTING A NET INTO THE (LAKE): FOR THEY WERE (FISHERMEN).

Lk 5:1. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED (AROUND) HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, HE STOOD BY (the shore of) THE LAKE OF GENNESARET,
Lk 5:2. AND (He) SAW TWO (BOATS) STANDING BY THE (edge of the) LAKE: BUT THE FISHERMEN (HAD) GONE OUT OF THEM, AND WERE WASHING THEIR NETS.
Lk 5:3. AND HE ENTERED INTO ONE OF THE (BOATS), WHICH WAS SIMON'S, AND (ASKED) HIM (TO) (PULL) OUT A LITTLE (way) FROM THE LAND. AND HE SAT DOWN, AND TAUGHT THE PEOPLE (from) OUT OF THE (BOAT)

Lk 5:4. NOW WHEN HE HAD (FINISHED) SPEAKING, HE SAID (TO) SIMON, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP (water), AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A (CATCH).

Lk 5:5. AND SIMON ANSWERING SAID (TO) HIM, MASTER, WE HAVE (WORKED HARD) ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE (CAUGHT) NOTHING: NEVERTHELESS AT (YOUR) WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET.
Lk 5:6. AND WHEN THEY HAD (DONE THIS), THEY (CAUGHT) A GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: AND THEIR NET (began to) BRAKE.
Lk 5:7. AND THEY (SIGNALED) (TO) THEIR PARTNERS, WHICH WERE IN THE OTHER (BOAT), THAT THEY SHOULD COME AND HELP THEM. AND THEY CAME, AND FILLED BOTH THE (BOATS), SO (full) THAT THEY BEGAN TO SINK.

Lk 5:8. (But) WHEN SIMON PETER SAW IT, HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS' KNEES, SAYING, (GET AWAY) FROM ME; FOR I AM A SINFUL MAN, O LORD.
Lk 5:9. FOR HE WAS ASTONISHED, AND ALL THAT WERE WITH HIM, AT THE (CATCH) OF THE FISHES WHICH THEY HAD TAKEN:
Lk 5:10. AND SO WAS ALSO JAMES, AND JOHN, THE SONS OF ZEBEDEE, WHICH WERE PARTNERS WITH SIMON. AND JESUS SAID (TO) SIMON, (DON’T BE AFRAID); FROM (NOW ON) (YOU) (WILL) CATCH MEN (alive!).

Mt 4:19. AND HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, (Come) FOLLOW ME (or Come after Me), AND I WILL MAKE YOU FISHERS OF MEN.

Mk 1:17. AND JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, COME (FOLLOW) ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU TO BECOME FISHERS OF MEN.

Mt 4:20. AND THEY STRAIGHTWAY (or immediately, or at once) LEFT THEIR NETS, AND FOLLOWED (or went with) HIM.

Mk 1:18. AND (IMMEDIATELY) THEY FORSOOK (or left) THEIR NETS, AND FOLLOWED HIM.

Lk 5:11. AND WHEN THEY HAD BROUGHT THEIR (BOATS) TO LAND, THEY FORSOOK ALL (or left everything) (behind), AND FOLLOWED HIM.

Mt 4:21. AND GOING ON FROM (THERE), HE SAW OTHER TWO (BROTHERS), JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, AND JOHN HIS BROTHER, (they were) IN A (BOAT) WITH ZEBEDEE THEIR FATHER, (REPAIRING) (or preparing) THEIR NETS; AND (JESUS) CALLED THEM.
Mt 4:22. AND THEY IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE (BOAT) AND THEIR FATHER, AND FOLLOWED HIM.

Mk 1:19. AND WHEN HE HAD GONE (on) A LITTLE FURTHER (FROM THERE), HE SAW JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, AND JOHN HIS BROTHER, WHO ALSO WERE IN THE (BOAT) MENDING (or preparing) THEIR NETS.
Mk 1:20. AND (IMMEDIATELY) (or without delay) HE CALLED THEM: AND THEY LEFT THEIR FATHER ZEBEDEE IN THE (BOAT) WITH THE HIRED SERVANTS (or men), AND WENT AFTER HI

Mk 1:21. AND THEY WENT INTO CAPERNAUM; AND (IMMEDIATELY) ON THE SABBATH DAY (JESUS) ENTERED INTO THE SYNAGOGUE, AND TAUGHT.
Mk 1:22. AND (THE PEOPLE) WERE ASTONISHED (or amazed) AT HIS DOCTRINE (or teaching) (or the way He taught-JNT): FOR HE TAUGHT THEM AS ONE THAT HAD AUTHORITY (Himself), AND NOT AS THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV).

Lk 4:31. AND (then He) CAME DOWN TO CAPERNAUM, A CITY (or town) OF GALILEE, AND TAUGHT THEM (or made a practice of teaching them-JNT) ON THE SABBATH DAYS.
Lk 4:32. AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED (or amazed) AT HIS DOCTRINE (or teaching) (or the way He taught-JNT): FOR HIS WORD (or message) WAS WITH POWER (or had authority).

Mk 1:23. AND (just then) THERE WAS IN THEIR SYNAGOGUE A MAN (possessed) WITH AN UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT; AND HE (SHOUTED),
Mk 1:24. SAYING, LET US ALONE; WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH (YOU), THOU JESUS OF NAZARETH? (HAVE) (YOU) COME TO DESTROY US? I KNOW THEE WHO (YOU) (ARE), THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.
Mk 1:25. AND JESUS REBUKED HIM (the unclean spirit) (sternly), SAYING, (BE QUIET), AND COME OUT OF HIM.
Mk 1:26. AND WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT HAD TORN (or shook) HIM (violently), AND CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE (or shriek), HE CAME OUT OF HIM.
Mk 1:27. Mk 1:27. AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED, (SO THAT) THAT THEY QUESTIONED (or debated, or asked) AMONG THEMSELVES, SAYING, WHAT THING IS THIS? WHAT NEW DOCTRINE (or teaching) IS THIS? FOR WITH AUTHORITY (HE EVEN GIVES ORDERS [or COMMANDS] TO) THE UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS, AND THEY DO OBEY HIM.
Mk 1:28. AND IMMEDIATELY (THE NEWS ABOUT HIM) (WENT OUT EVERYWHERE) THROUGHOUT ALL THE REGION (SURROUNDING THE DISTRICT OF-NASB) GALILEE.

Lk 4:33. AND IN THE SYNAGOGUE THERE WAS A MAN, WHICH (WAS POSSESSED BY) A SPIRIT OF AN UNCLEAN DEVIL (or demon, or demonic spirit), AND (SHOUTED) WITH A LOUD VOICE,
Lk 4:34. SAYING, ("Yaah!") LET US ALONE; WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH (YOU) (or what do You want with us-NIV), THOU JESUS OF NAZARETH? (HAVE) (YOU) COME TO DESTROY US? I KNOW THEE WHO (YOU) (ARE); THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.
Lk 4:35. AND JESUS REBUKED HIM (sternly), SAYING, (BE QUIET), AND COME OUT OF HIM. AND WHEN THE DEVIL HAD THROWN (THE MAN) (down) IN THE (MIDDLE OF THE CROWD), HE CAME OUT OF HIM, (WITHOUT INJURING HIM).
Lk 4:36. AND (THE PEOPLE) WERE ALL AMAZED, AND (SPOKE) AMONG THEMSELVES, SAYING, WHAT A WORD IS THIS (or what kind of teaching is this-JNT)! FOR WITH AUTHORITY AND POWER HE (COMMANDS) (or orders) THE UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS, AND THEY COME OUT.
Lk 4:37. AND THE (NEWS) (ABOUT) HIM (WAS GETTING) OUT INTO EVERY PLACE OF THE COUNTRY (or area) ROUND ABOUT (or every locality in the surrounding district-NASB).

Mt 8:14. AND WHEN JESUS WAS COME INTO PETER'S (HOME), HE SAW HIS (MOTHER-IN-LAW) (LYING IN BED), AND SICK OF A FEVER.
Mt 8:15. AND HE TOUCHED HER HAND, AND THE FEVER LEFT HER: AND SHE (GOT UP), AND MINISTERED UNTO THEM (or waited on Him, or served them).

Mk 1:29. AND (IMMEDIATELY), WHEN THEY WERE COME OUT OF THE SYNAGOGUE, THEY ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF SIMON AND ANDREW, WITH JAMES AND JOHN.
Mk 1:30. BUT SIMON'S (MOTHER-IN-LAW) LAY (in bed) SICK OF A FEVER, AND (IMMEDIATELY) THEY (SPOKE TO) HIM OF HER.
Mk 1:31. AND HE CAME AND TOOK HER BY THE HAND, AND (HELPED) HER UP (onto her feet); AND IMMEDIATELY THE FEVER LEFT HER, AND SHE MINISTERED UNTO (or began to wait on-NIV) THEM.

Lk 4:38. AND (JESUS) (LEFT) THE SYNAGOGUE, AND ENTERED INTO SIMON'S HOUSE. AND SIMON'S (MOTHER-IN-LAW) WAS (SUFFERING) WITH A (HIGH) FEVER; AND THEY (ASKED) HIM (to do something) FOR HER.
Lk 4:39. AND HE STOOD OVER HER, AND REBUKED THE FEVER; AND IT LEFT HER: AND IMMEDIATELY SHE AROSE AND (SERVED) THEM.

Mt 8:16. WHEN THE (EVENING) WAS COME, THEY BROUGHT (TO) HIM MANY THAT WERE POSSESSED WITH DEVILS (or demon-possessed, or held in the power of demons-JNT): AND HE CAST (or drove, or expelled) OUT THE SPIRITS WITH HIS WORD, AND HEALED ALL THAT WERE SICK:
Mt 8:17. THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY (ISAIAH) THE PROPHET, SAYING, HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES (or weaknesses), AND BARE (or carried away) OUR SICKNESSES (or diseases).

Mk 1:32. AND (WHEN) (EVENING) (was come), (AFTER) THE SUN DID SET, (THE PEOPLE) BROUGHT (TO) (JESUS) ALL THAT WERE DISEASED (or ill, or sick), AND THEM THAT WERE (DEMON POSSESSED) (or held in the power of demons-JNT).
Mk 1:33. AND ALL THE (TOWN) WAS GATHERED TOGETHER (crowding) AT THE DOOR.
Mk 1:34. AND HE HEALED MANY THAT WERE SICK (or ill) OF (VARIOUS) DISEASES, AND (DROVE) OUT MANY (DEMONS); AND (DID NOT ALLOW) THE DEVILS TO SPEAK, BECAUSE THEY KNEW HIM (who He was).

Lk 4:40. NOW WHEN THE SUN WAS SETTING, ALL THEY THAT HAD ANY SICK WITH (VARIOUS) (kinds of) DISEASES BROUGHT THEM (TO) HIM; AND HE LAID HIS HANDS ON EVERY ONE OF THEM, AND HEALED THEM.
Lk 4:41. AND (DEMONS) ALSO CAME OUT OF MANY, CRYING OUT, AND SAYING, (YOU) (ARE THE) CHRIST THE SON OF GOD. AND HE REBUKING THEM (ALLOWED) THEM NOT TO SPEAK: FOR THEY KNEW THAT HE WAS (the) CHRIST (or Messiah).

Mk 1:35. AND IN THE (early) MORNING, (Jesus) RISING UP (WHILE IT WAS STILL DARK-NASB), HE WENT OUT, AND DEPARTED INTO A SOLITARY (or lonely) PLACE, AND THERE (He) PRAYED.
Mk 1:36. AND SIMON AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM (WENT TO LOOK FOR HIM-NIV).
Mk 1:37. AND WHEN THEY HAD FOUND HIM, THEY SAID (TO) HIM, (EVERYONE IS LOOKING) FOR (YOU).
Mk 1:38. AND (JESUS) SAID (TO) THEM, LET US GO (somewhere else) INTO THE NEXT (or nearby) TOWNS (or villages), (in order) THAT I MAY PREACH THERE ALSO: FOR THEREFORE CAME I FORTH (or that is why I have come-NIV) (I have to proclaim the message there too-JNT).

Lk 4:42. AND WHEN IT WAS DAY (or at daybreak), (JESUS) DEPARTED AND WENT (TO) A (DESERTED) PLACE: AND THE (CROWD) SOUGHT (for) HIM, AND CAME (TO) HIM, AND (TRIED TO KEEP) HIM (from leaving them), THAT HE SHOULD NOT DEPART FROM THEM.
Lk 4:43. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, I MUST PREACH THE (Good News of the-JNT) KINGDOM OF GOD TO OTHER CITIES (or towns) ALSO: FOR (I WAS SENT FOR THIS PURPOSE-NASB).

Mt 4:23. AND JESUS WENT (THROUGHOUT) ALL GALILEE, TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING (or proclaiming) THE GOSPEL (or the Good News) OF THE KINGDOM, AND HEALING ALL (KINDS) OF SICKNESS AND ALL (KINDS) OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE.
Mt 4:24. AND (then) (THE NEWS ABOUT HIM) WENT (or spread) THROUGHOUT ALL SYRIA: AND (THE PEOPLE) BROUGHT (TO) HIM ALL SICK (or ill) PEOPLE THAT WERE (SUFFERING) WITH (VARIOUS) DISEASES AND (those suffering severe) TORMENTS (or pains), AND THOSE WHICH WERE POSSESSED WITH (or held in the power of-JNT) DEVILS (or demons), AND THOSE WHICH WERE (EPILEPTICS) (or having seizures), AND THOSE THAT HAD THE PALSY (or paralytics, or the paralyzed); AND HE HEALED THEM.
Mt 4:25. AND THERE FOLLOWED HIM (HUGE CROWDS) FROM GALILEE, AND FROM DECAPOLIS (or the Ten Towns-JNT), AND FROM JERUSALEM, AND FROM (JUDEA), AND FROM BEYOND (the region across the-NIV) JORDAN.

Mk 1:39. (So He traveled) AND HE PREACHED IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES THROUGHOUT ALL GALILEE, AND CAST OUT (DEMONS).

Lk 4:44. AND HE (also) PREACHED IN THE SYNAGOGUES OF GALILEE (or Judea).

Mt 8:2. AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME (unto Him) A LEPER (or a man afflicted with a repulsive skin disease-JNT) AND (KNELT BEFORE) HIM, SAYING, LORD, IF (YOU) (ARE WILLING), (YOU) (CAN) MAKE ME CLEAN.
Mt 8:3. AND JESUS (STRETCHED OUT) HIS HAND, AND TOUCHED HIM, SAYING, (I AM WILLING); BE THOU (CLEANSED). AND (AT ONCE) HIS LEPROSY WAS CLEANSED (or cured).
Mt 8:4. AND (then) JESUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, SEE (that) (YOU) TELL NO MAN; BUT GO (YOUR) WAY, (SHOW) (YOURSELF) TO THE PRIEST (and let the cohen examine you-JNT), AND OFFER THE GIFT (or sacrifice, or present the offering) THAT MOSES COMMANDED, FOR A TESTIMONY (TO) THEM.

Mk 1:40. AND THERE CAME A (man) (a) LEPER TO HIM (or a man afflicted with a repulsive skin disease-JNT), BESEECHING (or begged) HIM, AND KNEELING (or falling) DOWN (on his knees) TO HIM, AND SAYING (TO) HIM, IF (YOU) (ARE WILLING), (YOU) (CAN) MAKE ME CLEAN.
Mk 1:41. AND JESUS, MOVED (or filled) WITH COMPASSION (or pity), (STRETCHED OUT) HIS HAND, AND TOUCHED HIM, AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, (I AM WILLING); BE THOU CLEAN.
Mk 1:42. AND AS SOON AS HE HAD SPOKEN, IMMEDIATELY THE LEPROSY DEPARTED FROM HIM, AND HE WAS CLEANSED (or cured).
Mk 1:43. AND HE STRAITLY (or sternly) (WARNED) HIM (with a strong warning-NIV), AND (IMMEDIATELY) SENT HIM AWAY;
Mk 1:44. AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, SEE (YOU) SAY NOTHING TO ANY MAN: BUT (instead) GO (YOUR) WAY, SHOW (YOURSELF) TO THE PRIEST (and let the chosen examine you-JNT), AND OFFER FOR (YOUR) CLEANSING THOSE THINGS WHICH MOSES COMMANDED, FOR A TESTIMONY (TO) THEM.
Mk 1:45. BUT (instead) HE WENT OUT, AND BEGAN TO (PROCLAIM) IT MUCH (or freely), AND TO BLAZE (or spread) ABROAD THE MATTER (or news) (TO SUCH AN EXTENT), THAT JESUS COULD NO MORE OPENLY (or publicly) ENTER INTO (A) CITY, BUT WAS WITHOUT (OUTSIDE) IN DESERT (or unpopulated) PLACES: AND (yet) THEY CAME TO HIM FROM (EVERYWHERE).

Lk 5:12. AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN HE WAS IN A CERTAIN CITY (or one of the towns-NIV), BEHOLD A MAN (came) (who was) (COMPLETELY COVERED WITH) LEPROSY (or a repulsive skin disease-JNT): WHO SEEING JESUS FELL ON HIS FACE (to the ground), AND (BEGGED) HIM, SAYING, LORD, IF (YOU) (ARE WILLING), (YOU) (CAN) MAKE ME CLEAN.
Lk 5:13. AND (JESUS) PUT FORTH HIS HAND, AND TOUCHED HIM, SAYING, (I AM WILLING): BE THOU (CLEANSED). AND IMMEDIATELY THE LEPROSY (or skin disease) DEPARTED FROM HIM.
Lk 5:14. AND HE (ORDERED) (or warned), HIM TO TELL NO MAN: BUT GO (straight), AND SHOW (YOURSELF) TO THE PRIEST, AND (MAKE AN OFFERING) FOR (YOUR) CLEANSING, ACCORDING AS MOSES COMMANDED, FOR A TESTIMONY (TO) THEM.
Lk 5:15. BUT (yet) SO MUCH THE MORE WENT THERE (THE NEWS) ABROAD OF HIM (or the news about Him spread all the more-NIV): AND (HUGE CROWDS) CAME TOGETHER TO HEAR (Him), AND TO BE HEALED BY HIM OF THEIR (SICKNESSES).
Lk 5:16. AND HE (however) (often) WITHDREW HIMSELF INTO THE WILDERNESS (or remote places), AND PRAYED.

Mt 9:1. AND HE ENTERED (or stepped, or got) INTO A (BOAT), AND PASSED (or crossed) OVER (the lake again), AND CAME INTO HIS OWN (TOWN).
Mt 9:2. AND, BEHOLD, (SOME MEN) BROUGHT TO HIM A MAN SICK OF THE PALSY (or a paralytic, or a paralyzed man), LYING ON A BED (or mat, or mattress): AND JESUS SEEING THEIR FAITH (or trust) SAID (TO) THE SICK OF THE PALSY (or the paralytic, or the paralyzed man); SON, BE OF GOOD CHEER (or take heart, or courage); (YOUR) SINS (ARE) FORGIVEN (YOU).
Mt 9:3. AND, (AT ONCE), (SOME) OF THE SCRIBES (or teachers) SAID WITHIN THEMSELVES, THIS MAN BLASPHEMETH.
Mt 9:4. AND JESUS KNOWING (WHAT THEY WERE THINKING-JNT) SAID, (WHY DO YOU THINK) EVIL (thoughts) IN YOUR HEARTS?
Mt 9:5. FOR (WHICH) IS EASIER, TO SAY, (YOUR) SINS (ARE) FORGIVEN (YOU); OR TO SAY, (GET UP), AND WALK?
Mt 9:6. BUT (in order) THAT (YOU) MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN (HAS) (AUTHORITY) ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS (or But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins-JNT), (THEN [SAID] HE TO THE SICK OF THE PALSY,) (or paralytic, or paralyzed man) (GET UP), TAKE UP (YOUR) BED (or mat, or mattress), AND GO (TO) (YOUR) (HOME).
Mt 9:7. AND HE (the man) (GOT UP), AND DEPARTED TO HIS (HOME).
Mt 9:8. BUT WHEN THE (CROWD) SAW IT, THEY MARVELED (or were filled with awe-NASB), AND GLORIFIED (or praised) GOD, WHICH HAD GIVEN SUCH (AUTHORITY) (TO) MEN (or human beings).

Mk 2:1. AND AGAIN HE (HAD COME BACK) INTO CAPERNAUM, AFTER (A FEW) DAYS; AND (THE WORD SPREAD) THAT HE WAS (back at home).
Mk 2:2. AND (IMMEDIATELY) (so) MANY WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, INSOMUCH THAT THERE WAS NO ROOM (left) TO RECEIVE THEM, NO, NOT SO MUCH AS (even) ABOUT (or near) THE DOOR: AND HE PREACHED THE WORD (TO) THEM.
Mk 2:3. AND (SOME MEN) (CAME) (TO) HIM, BRINGING ONE SICK OF THE PALSY (or a paralyzed man), WHICH WAS (CARRIED) OF FOUR (men).
Mk 2:4. AND WHEN THEY COULD NOT COME (NEAR) (TO) HIM (BECAUSE OF THE CROWD), THEY UNCOVERED (or removed, or made an opening in-NIV) THE ROOF (above) WHERE (JESUS) WAS: AND WHEN THEY HAD BROKEN IT UP, THEY LET DOWN THE BED (or mat, or stretcher) WHEREIN THE SICK OF THE PALSY (or paralyzed man) LAY.
Mk 2:5. (And) WHEN JESUS SAW THEIR FAITH (or trust), HE SAID (TO) THE SICK OF THE PALSY (or paralyzed man), (My) SON, (YOUR) SINS (ARE) FORGIVEN (YOU)
Mk 2:6. BUT THERE WERE (SOME) OF THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) SITTING THERE, AND REASONING IN THEIR HEARTS (or thinking to themselves),
Mk 2:7. WHY (DOES) THIS MAN THUS SPEAK BLASPHEMIES (like this)? WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS BUT GOD ONLY?
Mk 2:8. AND IMMEDIATELY WHEN JESUS (KNEW) IN HIS SPIRIT THAT THEY SO REASONED WITHIN THEMSELVES (or what they were thinking in their hearts-NIV), HE SAID (TO) THEM, WHY (ARE YOU THINKING) THESE THINGS IN YOUR HEARTS
Mk 2:9. (WHICH) IS IT EASIER TO SAY TO THE SICK OF THE PALSY (or paralyzed man), (YOUR) SINS (ARE) FORGIVEN (YOU); OR TO SAY, (GET UP), AND TAKE UP (YOUR) BED (or mat, or stretcher), AND WALK?
Mk 2:10. BUT (in order) THAT (YOU) MAY KNOW THAT THE SON OF MAN (HAS) (AUTHORITY) ON EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS, (HE [SAID] TO THE SICK OF THE PALSY [or paralytic],) (or But look! I will prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins-JNT).
Mk 2:11. I SAY (TO) (YOU) (or the paralytic), (GET UP), AND TAKE UP (YOUR) BED (or mat, or stretcher) AND GO (YOUR) WAY INTO (YOUR) HOUSE (or home).
Mk 2:12. AND (AT ONCE) HE (GOT UP), TOOK UP THE BED (or mat, or stretcher), AND WENT FORTH (and walked out in full view-NIV) BEFORE THEM ALL; INSOMUCH THAT THEY WERE ALL (utterly) AMAZED, AND (everyone) GLORIFIED (or praised) GOD, SAYING, WE NEVER SAW IT ON THIS FASHION (or we have never seen anything like this-NASB).

Lk 5:17. AND IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY, AS HE WAS TEACHING, THAT THERE WERE (some) PHARISEES AND DOCTORS (or teachers) OF THE LAW SITTING BY, WHICH WERE COME OUT OF EVERY TOWN (or village) OF GALILEE, AND (from) (JUDEA), AND JERUSALEM: AND THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS PRESENT (for Him) TO HEAL (THE SICK).
Lk 5:18. AND, BEHOLD, (some) MEN BROUGHT IN A BED A MAN WHICH WAS (PARALYZED): AND THEY (TRIED) TO BRING HIM IN (side), AND TO LAY HIM BEFORE (JESUS).
Lk 5:19. AND WHEN THEY COULD NOT FIND BY WHAT WAY THEY MIGHT BRING HIM IN BECAUSE OF THE (CROWD), THEY WENT UPON THE (ROOF), AND (LOWERED) HIM DOWN THROUGH THE (TILES) WITH HIS (STRETCHER) INTO THE (MIDDLE) (of the crowd, right-NIV) BEFORE JESUS.
Lk 5:20. AND WHEN (JESUS) SAW THEIR FAITH (or trust), HE SAID (TO) HIM, (FRIEND), (YOUR) SINS ARE FORGIVEN (YOU).
Lk 5:21. AND THE SCRIBES AND THE PHARISEES BEGAN (THINKING TO THEMSELVES) SAYING, WHO IS THIS (man) WHICH (SPEAKS) BLASPHEMIES? WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS, BUT GOD ALONE?
Lk 5:22. BUT WHEN JESUS (KNEW) THEIR THOUGHTS (or reasonings, or thinking), HE (ANSWERED) (and) SAID (TO) THEM, (WHY ARE YOU THINKING) (such) (things) IN YOUR HEARTS?
Lk 5:23. (WHICH) IS EASIER, TO SAY, (YOUR) SINS (ARE) FORGIVEN (YOU); OR TO SAY, RISE UP AND WALK?
Lk 5:24. BUT THAT (YOU) MAY KNOW (or But look! I will prove to you-JNT) THAT THE SON OF MAN (HAS) (AUTHORITY) (ON) EARTH TO FORGIVE SINS, (HE SAID [TO] THE SICK OF THE PALSY [or the paralyzed man],) I SAY (TO) (YOU), ARISE, AND TAKE UP (YOUR) COUCH (or stretcher, or mat), AND GO (TO) (YOUR) HOUSE.
Lk 5:25. AND IMMEDIATELY HE ROSE UP BEFORE THEM, AND TOOK UP THAT WHEREON HE LAY, AND DEPARTED TO HIS OWN HOUSE, GLORIFYING (or praising) GOD.
Lk 5:26. AND THEY WERE ALL AMAZED, AND THEY GLORIFIED (or gave praise to) GOD, AND WERE FILLED WITH FEAR (or awe), SAYING, WE HAVE SEEN STRANGE (or remarkable) THINGS TO DAY.

Mt 9:9. AND AS JESUS (WENT ON) FROM (THERE), HE (SPOTTED) A (TAX COLLECTOR), NAMED MATTHEW, SITTING AT THE (TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOTH): AND HE (SAID) (TO) HIM, FOLLOW ME. AND (so) (MATTHEW) (GOT UP), AND FOLLOWED HIM.
Mt 9:10. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS JESUS (WAS HAVING DINNER) (AT MATTHEW’S) HOUSE, BEHOLD, MANY (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS CAME AND SAT DOWN (and were dining, or ate) WITH (JESUS) AND HIS DISCIPLES (at the meal).
Mt 9:11. AND WHEN THE PHARISEES SAW IT, THEY SAID (TO) HIS DISCIPLES, WHY (DOES YOUR) MASTER (or teacher, or rabbi) (eat) WITH (the) (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS?
Mt 9:12. BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE SAID (TO) THEM, THEY THAT BE WHOLE (or are healthy, or well) NEED NOT A (DOCTOR), BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.
Mt 9:13. BUT GO (YOU) AND LEARN WHAT THAT (MEANS), I WILL HAVE (or desire, or want) MERCY (or compassion), AND NOT SACRIFICE (or animal sacrifices): FOR I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.

Mk 2:13. AND HE (Jesus) WENT (OUT) AGAIN (BESIDE) THE (LAKE) SIDE; AND (A LARGE CROWD) (CAME) (TO) HIM, AND HE TAUGHT THEM.
Mk 2:14. AND AS HE (WALKED ALONG), HE SAW LEVI THE SON OF ALPHAEUS SITTING AT THE (TAX COLLECTOR’S BOOTH), AND SAID (TO) HIM, FOLLOW ME. AND (so) (LEVI) (GOT UP) AND FOLLOWED HIM.
Mk 2:15. AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT, AS JESUS (WAS HAVING DINNER) IN (LEVI’S) HOUSE, MANY (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS SAT ALSO TOGETHER (eating) WITH JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES: FOR THERE WERE MANY (of them) (among His followers), AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM.
Mk 2:16. AND WHEN THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) AND PHARISEES SAW HIM EAT WITH (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS, THEY SAID (TO) HIS DISCIPLES, HOW IS IT THAT HE (EATS) AND (DRINKS) WITH (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS?
Mk 2:17. (And) WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, THEY THAT ARE (HEALTHY) HAVE NO NEED OF THE PHYSICIAN, BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK: I CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.

Lk 5:27. AND AFTER THESE THINGS (JESUS) WENT (OUT), AND SAW A (TAX COLLECTOR), NAMED LEVI, SITTING AT THE (TAX BOOTH): AND (JESUS) SAID (TO) HIM, FOLLOW ME.
Lk 5:28. AND HE LEFT (EVERYTHING) (behind), ROSE UP, AND FOLLOWED HIM.
Lk 5:29. AND LEVI MADE HIM A GREAT FEAST IN HIS OWN HOUSE: AND THERE WAS A GREAT (CROWD) OF (TAX COLLECTORS) AND OF OTHERS THAT SAT DOWN (eating) WITH THEM.
Lk 5:30. BUT THEIR SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) AND PHARISEES MURMURED (or began grumbling, or complained, or protested indignantly) (TO) HIS DISCIPLES, SAYING, WHY DO (YOU) EAT AND DRINK WITH (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS?
Lk 5:31. AND JESUS (ANSWERED) (and) SAID (TO) THEM, THEY THAT ARE (HEALTHY) NEED NOT A (DOCTOR); BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.
Lk 5:32. I CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE (or to turn to God from their sins-JNT).

Mt 9:14. THEN CAME TO HIM THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN, SAYING, WHY DO WE AND THE PHARISEES FAST (OFTEN) (or frequently), BUT (YOUR) DISCIPLES FAST NOT?
Mt 9:15. AND JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, CAN THE CHILDREN (or attendants, or wedding guests, or friends) OF THE BRIDECHAMBER (or bridegroom) MOURN, AS LONG AS THE BRIDEGROOM IS WITH THEM? BUT THE DAYS WILL COME, WHEN THE BRIDEGROOM SHALL BE TAKEN FROM THEM, AND THEN SHALL THEY FAST. (Ref Mt 6:16)

Mk 2:18. AND THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN AND OF THE PHARISEES USED TO FAST (or were fasting): AND THEY COME AND SAY (TO) (JESUS), WHY DO THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN AND OF THE PHARISEES FAST, BUT (YOUR) DISCIPLES FAST NOT?
Mk 2:19. AND JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, CAN THE CHILDREN OF THE BRIDECHAMBER (or attendants of the bridegroom-NASB) (or wedding guests) FAST, WHILE THE BRIDEGROOM IS WITH THEM? AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE BRIDEGROOM WITH THEM, THEY CANNOT FAST (or fasting is out of the question-JNT).
Mk 2:20. BUT THE (TIME) WILL COME, WHEN THE BRIDEGROOM SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM, AND THEN SHALL THEY FAST IN THOSE DAYS.

Lk 5:33. AND THEY SAID (TO) HIM, WHY DO THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN FAST OFTEN, AND MAKE PRAYERS, AND LIKEWISE THE DISCIPLES OF THE PHARISEES; BUT (YOURS) (GO ON EATING AND DRINKING-NIV)?
Lk 5:34. AND (JESUS) SAID (TO) THEM, CAN (YOU) MAKE THE CHILDREN (or attendant, or wedding guests) OF THE BRIDECHAMBER (or Bridegroom) FAST, WHILE THE BRIDEGROOM IS (still) WITH THEM?
Lk 5:35. BUT THE (TIME) WILL COME, WHEN THE BRIDEGROOM SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM, AND THEN SHALL THEY FAST IN THOSE DAYS (or when that time comes-JNT).

Mt 9:16. NO MAN (PUTS) (or sows) A PIECE (or patch) OF NEW (or unshrunk) CLOTH (ON) AN OLD GARMENT (or coat), FOR (THE PATCH) WHICH IS PUT IN TO FILL IT UP (PULLS) (away) FROM THE GARMENT (or coat), AND THE (TEAR) (or hole) IS MADE WORSE.
Mt 9:17. NEITHER DO MEN (POUR) NEW WINE INTO OLD BOTTLES (or wineskins): (OTHERWISE) THE BOTTLES (or wineskins will) BREAK (or burst), AND THE WINE (RUNS) OUT, AND THE BOTTLES (or wineskins) PERISH (or are ruined): BUT THEY PUT NEW WINE INTO NEW BOTTLES (or freshly prepared wineskins-JNT), AND (in this way) BOTH ARE PRESERVED.

Mk 2:21. NO MAN ALSO (SEWS) A PIECE OF NEW (or unshrunk) CLOTH ON AN OLD GARMENT (or coat): ELSE (if he does) THE NEW PIECE (or patch) THAT FILLED IT UP (PULLS) AWAY FROM THE OLD (cloth), AND THE (TEAR) (or hole) IS MADE WORSE.
Mk 2:22. AND NO MAN (PUTS) NEW WINE INTO OLD BOTTLES: (or wineskins) ELSE (if he does) THE NEW WINE (WILL) BURST THE BOTTLES (or skins), AND THE WINE IS SPILLED (or lost), AND THE BOTTLES WILL BE MARRED (or ruined) (as well): BUT NEW WINE MUST BE PUT INTO NEW BOTTLES (or freshly prepared wineskins).

Lk 5:36. AND HE (SPOKE) ALSO A PARABLE (or gave an illustration) (TO) THEM; NO MAN (PUTS) (or sows) A PIECE OF A NEW GARMENT (ON) AN OLD (garment); IF (HE DOES), THEN BOTH THE NEW (MAKES) A (TEAR) (or will…continue to rip-JNT), AND THE PIECE THAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE NEW (WILL NOT MATCH) THE OLD.
Lk 5:37. AND NO MAN (POURS) NEW WINE INTO OLD BOTTLES (or wineskins); ELSE THE NEW WINE WILL BURST THE BOTTLES (or skins), AND (it will) BE SPILLED (or will run out), AND THE BOTTLES (or skins) (too) SHALL PERISH (or be ruined).
Lk 5:38. BUT (on the contrary,) NEW WINE MUST BE (POURED) INTO NEW BOTTLES (or freshly prepared wineskins); AND BOTH ARE PRESERVED.
Lk 5:39. (Besides that) NO MAN ALSO (after) HAVING DRUNK OLD WINE (IMMEDIATELY) (WISHES) (for) (the) NEW: FOR HE (SAYS), THE OLD IS BETTER (or good enough).

Jn 5:1. AFTER THIS (or some time later) THERE WAS A FEAST (or festival) OF THE JEWS; AND JESUS WENT UP TO JERUSALEM.
Jn 5:2. NOW THERE IS AT JERUSALEM BY THE SHEEP MARKET (or gate) A POOL, WHICH IS CALLED IN THE HEBREW TONGUE BETHESDA, HAVING FIVE PORCHES.
Jn 5:3. (Here) IN THESE LAY A GREAT MULTITUDE OF (SICK) (PEOPLE), OF (the) BLIND, (LAME), (and) WITHERED (or paralyzed), WAITING FOR THE MOVING OF THE WATER.
Jn 5:4. FOR AN ANGEL (of the Lord) WENT DOWN AT A CERTAIN (TIME) INTO THE POOL, AND (STIRRED UP) THE WATER: (WHOEVER) THEN FIRST AFTER THE (STIRRING UP) OF THE WATER STEPPED IN WAS MADE (WELL) OF (WHATEVER) DISEASE HE HAD.
Jn 5:5. AND A CERTAIN MAN WAS THERE, WHICH HAD AN INFIRMITY (or sickness, or had been an invalid for-NIV) THIRTY AND EIGHT YEARS.
Jn 5:6. WHEN JESUS SAW HIM (LYING THERE), AND (KNOWING) THAT HE HAD BEEN NOW A LONG TIME IN THAT (CONDITION), HE (SAID) (TO) HIM, (DO YOU WISH) (to) BE MADE (WELL) (or healed)?
Jn 5:7. THE (INVALID) MAN ANSWERED HIM, SIR, I HAVE NO MAN, WHEN THE WATER IS (STIRRED UP), TO PUT ME INTO THE POOL: BUT WHILE I AM (TRYING) (to get in), ANOTHER (STEPS) DOWN BEFORE ME.
Jn 5:8. JESUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, RISE (up), TAKE UP (YOUR) BED (or mat), AND WALK.
Jn 5:9. AND IMMEDIATELY THE MAN WAS (HEALED), AND TOOK UP HIS BED (or mat), AND WALKED: AND (THAT) DAY WAS THE SABBATH.
Jn 5:10. THE JEWS THEREFORE SAID (TO) HIM (THE MAN) THAT WAS CURED, IT IS THE SABBATH DAY: IT IS NOT LAWFUL (or permissible) (or it’s against Torah-JNT) FOR (YOU) TO CARRY (YOUR) BED (or mat).
Jn 5:11. (But) HE ANSWERED THEM, HE THAT MADE ME (WELL), THE SAME (was the One Who-NASB) SAID (TO) ME, TAKE UP (YOUR) BED (or mat), AND WALK.
Jn 5:12. THEN ASKED THEY HIM, WHAT MAN IS THAT WHICH SAID (TO) (YOU), TAKE UP (YOUR) BED, AND WALK?
Jn 5:13. AND HE THAT WAS HEALED (DID NOT KNOW) WHO IT WAS: FOR JESUS HAD (SLIPPED) AWAY, A (CROWD) BEING IN THAT PLACE.
Jn 5:14. AFTERWARD JESUS (FOUND) HIM IN THE TEMPLE (court), AND SAID (TO) HIM, BEHOLD, (YOU) (HAVE BEEN) MADE (WELL) (again): SIN NO MORE, LEST A WORSE THING COME (UPON) (YOU).
Jn 5:15. THE MAN DEPARTED, AND TOLD THE JEWS THAT IT WAS JESUS, WHICH HAD MADE HIM (WELL).
Jn 5:16. AND (FOR THIS REASON) DID THE JEWS PERSECUTE (or began harassing) JESUS, AND SOUGHT TO SLAY HIM, BECAUSE HE HAD DONE THESE THINGS ON THE SABBATH DAY.

Jn 5:17. BUT JESUS ANSWERED THEM, MY FATHER (IS WORKING) (TO THIS VERY DAY-NIV), AND I WORK (too).
Jn 5:18. THEREFORE (for this reason) THE JEWS (TRIED) (ALL THE HARDER) TO KILL HIM, BECAUSE HE NOT ONLY HAD BROKEN THE SABBATH, BUT SAID ALSO THAT GOD WAS HIS FATHER, MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD.

Jn 5:19. THEN ANSWERED JESUS AND SAID (TO) THEM, (YES, INDEED), I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THE SON CAN DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF, BUT (He can do only-NIV) WHAT HE (SEES) THE FATHER DO: FOR (WHATEVER) (THE FATHER) (DOES), THESE (things) ALSO (DOES) THE SON (IN LIKE MANNER).
Jn 5:20. FOR THE FATHER (LOVES) THE SON, AND (SHOWS) HIM ALL THINGS THAT (He) HIMSELF (DOES): AND HE WILL SHOW HIM (even) GREATER WORKS THAN THESE, THAT (YOU) MAY (BE AMAZED).
Jn 5:21. FOR (just) AS THE FATHER (RAISES) UP THE DEAD, AND QUICKENETH THEM (or gives them life); EVEN SO THE SON (GIVES LIFE) (to) WHOM HE (WISHES).
Jn 5:22. FOR (even) THE FATHER (JUDGES) NO MAN, BUT (HAS) COMMITTED ALL JUDGMENT (TO) THE SON:
Jn 5:23. THAT ALL MEN SHOULD HONOR THE SON, EVEN AS THEY HONOR THE FATHER. HE THAT (DOES NOT HONOR) THE SON (DOES NOT HONOR) THE FATHER (WHO) SENT HIM (or whoever fails to honor the Son is not honoring the Father Who sent Him-JNT).
Jn 5:24. VERILY, VERILY (or yes indeed), I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), HE THAT (HEARS) MY WORD (or what I am saying-JNT), AND (BELIEVES) (or trusts) ON HIM (or believes Him) THAT SENT ME, (HAS) EVERLASTING LIFE, AND SHALL NOT COME (up) (FOR) CONDEMNATION (or judgment); BUT IS (already) (CROSSED OVER) FROM DEATH (TO) LIFE.
Jn 5:25. (YES, INDEED), I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THE (TIME) IS COMING, AND (in fact) NOW IS, WHEN THE DEAD SHALL HEAR THE VOICE OF THE SON OF GOD: AND THEY THAT HEAR SHALL LIVE (or come to life).
Jn 5:26. FOR (just) AS THE FATHER (HAS) LIFE IN HIMSELF; (even) SO (HAS) HE GIVEN TO THE SON TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF;
Jn 5:27. AND (He) (HAS) GIVEN HIM AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT ALSO, BECAUSE HE IS THE SON OF MAN.
Jn 5:28. (DON’T BE SURPRISED) AT THIS: FOR THE (TIME) IS COMING, (WHEN) ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE,
Jn 5:29. AND SHALL COME FORTH; THEY THAT HAVE DONE GOOD, (TO) THE RESURRECTION OF LIFE; AND THEY THAT HAVE DONE EVIL, (TO) THE RESURRECTION OF DAMNATION (or judgment) (to be condemned).
Jn 5:30. I CAN OF (MY) OWN SELF DO NOTHING: AS I HEAR, I JUDGE: AND MY JUDGMENT IS (RIGHTEOUS); BECAUSE I SEEK NOT (MY) OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF THE FATHER (WHO) SENT ME.
Jn 5:31. IF I (alone) (TESTIFY) OF MYSELF (or on My own behalf-JNT), MY WITNESS (or testimony) IS NOT (VALID).
Jn 5:32. THERE IS ANOTHER THAT (BEARS) WITNESS OF ME; AND I KNOW THAT THE WITNESS (or testimony) WHICH HE (BEARS) OF ME IS (VALID).
Jn 5:33. (YOU) (have) SENT (TO) JOHN, AND HE (HAS BORNE) WITNESS (TO) THE TRUTH.
Jn 5:34. BUT I RECEIVE NOT TESTIMONY FROM MAN: BUT THESE THINGS I (MENTION), THAT (YOU) MIGHT BE SAVED.
Jn 5:35. (JOHN) WAS A BURNING AND A SHINING LIGHT: AND (YOU) WERE WILLING FOR A (WHILE) TO REJOICE IN (or enjoy) HIS LIGHT.
Jn 5:36. BUT I HAVE GREATER WITNESS THAN THAT OF JOHN: FOR THE (very) WORKS WHICH THE FATHER (HAS) GIVEN ME TO (ACCOMPLISH), THE SAME WORKS THAT I DO, BEAR WITNESS (ON MY BEHALF), THAT THE FATHER (HAS) SENT ME.
Jn 5:37. AND THE FATHER HIMSELF, (WHO) SENT ME, (HAS) BORNE WITNESS OF ME. (YOU) HAVE NEITHER HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME, (OR) SEEN HIS SHAPE (or form).
Jn 5:38. AND (YOU) HAVE NOT HIS WORD ABIDING IN YOU (or His Word does not stay in you-JNT) (BECAUSE) WHOM HE HATH SENT, HIM (YOU) BELIEVE (or trust) NOT.
Jn 5:39. (You) (diligently) SEARCH (or study) THE SCRIPTURES; (BECAUSE) (that) (BY) THEM (YOU) THINK (that) (YOU) (POSSESS) ETERNAL LIFE: AND (IT IS THESE) (very Scriptures) WHICH (BEAR WITNESS) OF ME.
Jn 5:40. AND (yet) (YOU) (REFUSE TO) COME TO ME, THAT (YOU) MIGHT HAVE LIFE.
Jn 5:41. I RECEIVE NOT HONOR (or glory) FROM MEN.
Jn 5:42. BUT I (do) KNOW YOU (people), THAT (YOU) HAVE NOT THE LOVE OF GOD IN (YOURSELVES) (or in your hearts) (or you have no love for God in you-JNT).
Jn 5:43. I AM COME IN MY FATHER'S NAME, AND (YOU) RECEIVE ME NOT: IF ANOTHER SHALL COME IN HIS OWN NAME, HIM (YOU) WILL RECEIVE.
Jn 5:44. HOW CAN (YOU) BELIEVE (or trust), WHICH RECEIVE HONOR (or glory, or praise) ONE OF ANOTHER, AND (yet) SEEK NOT THE HONOR (or glory, or praise) THAT (COMES) FROM GOD ONLY? (or How can you trust? You’re busy collecting praise from each other, instead of seeking praise from God only-JNT.)
Jn 5:45. DO NOT THINK THAT I WILL ACCUSE YOU (BEFORE) THE FATHER: THERE IS ONE THAT (ACCUSES) YOU, EVEN MOSES, IN WHOM (YOU) TRUST (or have set your hope-NIV) (or Do you know who will accuse you? [Moses] the very one you have counted on!-JNT).
Jn 5:46. FOR HAD (YOU) (really) BELIEVED MOSES, (YOU) WOULD HAVE BELIEVED ME: (BECAUSE) HE WROTE (ABOUT) ME.
Jn 5:47. BUT IF (YOU) BELIEVE NOT HIS WRITINGS, HOW SHALL (YOU) BELIEVE MY WORDS?

Mt 12:1. AT THAT TIME JESUS WENT ON THE SABBATH DAY THROUGH THE CORN (or grainfields); AND HIS DISCIPLES WERE (HUNGRY), AND BEGAN TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN (or heads of grain), AND TO EAT.
Mt 12:2. BUT WHEN THE PHARISEES SAW IT, THEY SAID (TO) HIM, (LOOK!), (YOUR) DISCIPLES DO THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO DO UPON (or are violating) THE SABBATH DAY.
Mt 12:3. BUT HE SAID (TO) THEM, HAVE (YOU) NOT READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE WAS (HUNGRY), AND (HIS COMPANIONS) THAT WERE WITH HIM;
Mt 12:4. HOW HE ENTERED INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND DID EAT THE (CONSECRATED BREAD), WHICH WAS NOT LAWFUL FOR HIM TO EAT, NEITHER FOR (HIS COMPANIONS) WHICH WERE WITH HIM, BUT ONLY FOR THE PRIESTS?
Mt 12:5. OR HAVE (YOU) NOT READ IN THE LAW, HOW THAT ON THE SABBATH DAYS THE PRIESTS IN THE TEMPLE PROFANE (or break, or desecrate) THE SABBATH, AND ARE BLAMELESS (or innocent)?
Mt 12:6. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT IN THIS PLACE IS ONE (or something) GREATER THAN THE TEMPLE.
Mt 12:7. BUT IF (YOU) HAD KNOWN WHAT (THESE WORDS) (MEAN), I WILL HAVE MERCY (or compassion), AND NOT (animal) SACRIFICE, (YOU) WOULD NOT HAVE CONDEMNED THE GUILTLESS.
Mt 12:8. FOR THE SON OF MAN IS LORD EVEN OF THE SABBATH DAY.

Mk 2:23. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN (or grain, or wheat) FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY (WALKED ALONG) (their way), TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN (or heads of grain).
Mk 2:24. AND THE PHARISEES SAID (TO) HIM, (SEE HERE), WHY DO THEY (do) ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL?
Mk 2:25. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, HAVE (YOU) NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE (WAS IN) NEED AND WAS (HUNGRY), HE, AND THEY THAT WERE (HIS COMPANIONS)?
Mk 2:26. HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHOWBREAD (or consecrated bread, or Bread of the Presence-JNT), WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL (or is forbidden) (for anyone) TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND (he) GAVE (it) ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM?
Mk 2:27. AND (then) HE SAID (TO) THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR (MANKIND), AND NOT (MANKIND) FOR THE SABBATH:
Mk 2:28. (CONSEQUENTLY) THE SON OF MAN IS LORD (EVEN) OF THE SABBATH.

Lk 6:1. AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE SECOND SABBATH AFTER THE FIRST, THAT (JESUS) WENT THROUGH THE CORN (or grain, or wheat) FIELDS; AND HIS DISCIPLES PLUCKED THE EARS OF CORN (or heads of grain), AND DID EAT (the kernels, or seeds), RUBBING THEM IN THEIR HANDS.
Lk 6:2. AND CERTAIN OF THE PHARISEES SAID (TO) THEM, WHY DO (YOU) THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO DO ON THE SABBATH DAYS (or Why are you violating Shabbat-JNT)?
Lk 6:3. AND JESUS ANSWERING THEM SAID, HAVE (YOU) NOT (even) READ SO MUCH AS THIS, WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HIMSELF WAS (HUNGRY), AND (HIS COMPANIONS) WHICH WERE WITH HIM;
Lk 6:4. HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND DID TAKE AND EAT THE (CONSECRATED BREAD) (or Bread of the Presence-JNT), AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM (his companions) THAT WERE WITH HIM; WHICH IT IS NOT (PERMITTED) (for any) TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS ALONE?
Lk 6:5. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, THAT THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH.

Mt 12:9. AND WHEN HE WAS DEPARTED (FROM THERE), HE WENT INTO THEIR SYNAGOGUE:
Mt 12:10. AND, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A MAN WHICH HAD HIS HAND WITHERED (or shriveled). AND THEY ASKED HIM, SAYING, IS IT LAWFUL TO HEAL (or is healing permitted-JNT) ON THE SABBATH DAYS? THAT THEY MIGHT (have reason to) ACCUSE HIM (of something).
Mt 12:11. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, WHAT MAN SHALL THERE BE AMONG YOU, THAT SHALL HAVE ONE SHEEP, AND IF IT FALL INTO A PIT ON THE SABBATH DAY, WILL HE NOT TAKE) HOLD ON IT, AND LIFT IT OUT?
Mt 12:12. HOW MUCH THEN IS A MAN (MORE VALUABLE) THAN A SHEEP? WHEREFORE IT IS (PERMITTED) TO DO WELL (or good) ON THE SABBATH DAYS.
Mt 12:13. THEN (SAID) HE TO THE MAN, STRETCH FORTH (YOUR) HAND. AND HE (HELD IT OUT); AND IT WAS RESTORED (TO NORMAL), LIKE AS THE OTHER.
Mt 12:14. THEN THE PHARISEES WENT OUT, AND HELD A COUNCIL (or plotted) AGAINST HIM, (as to) HOW THEY MIGHT (KILL) HIM.

Mk 3:1. AND HE ENTERED AGAIN INTO THE SYNAGOGUE; AND THERE WAS A MAN THERE WHICH HAD A WITHERED HAND.
Mk 3:2. AND THEY WATCHED HIM (closely), WHETHER HE WOULD HEAL HIM ON THE SABBATH DAY; (in order) THAT THEY MIGHT ACCUSE HIM (of something).
Mk 3:3. AND HE (SAID) (TO) THE MAN WHICH HAD THE WITHERED HAND, (RISE AND COME FORWARD), where we can see you-JNT).
Mk 3:4. AND HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, IS IT LAWFUL (or what is permitted) TO DO GOOD ON THE SABBATH DAYS, OR TO DO EVIL (or harm)? TO SAVE (a) LIFE, OR TO KILL? BUT THEY (KEPT SILENT).
Mk 3:5. AND WHEN HE HAD LOOKED (AROUND) ON THEM WITH ANGER, BEING GRIEVED (or greatly distressed) FOR THE HARDNESS (or stoniness) OF THEIR (stubborn) HEARTS, HE (SAID) (TO) THE MAN, STRETCH FORTH (YOUR) HAND. AND HE STRETCHED IT OUT: AND HIS HAND WAS RESTORED (COMPLETELY) AS THE OTHER.
Mk 3:6. AND THE PHARISEES WENT FORTH, AND (IMMEDIATELY) TOOK COUNSEL (or began to plot) WITH THE HERODIANS (or Herod’s party-JNT) AGAINST HIM, (as to) HOW THEY MIGHT (KILL) (JESUS).

Lk 6:6. AND IT CAME TO PASS ALSO ON ANOTHER SABBATH, THAT HE ENTERED INTO THE SYNAGOGUE AND TAUGHT: AND THERE WAS A MAN WHOSE RIGHT HAND WAS WITHERED.
Lk 6:7. AND THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) AND PHARISEES WATCHED HIM (closely), WHETHER HE WOULD HEAL ON THE SABBATH DAY; THAT THEY MIGHT FIND (A) (REASON TO ACCUSE HIM) (of something).
Lk 6:8. BUT (JESUS) KNEW (WHAT THEY WERE THINKING), AND SAID TO THE MAN WHICH HAD THE WITHERED HAND, RISE UP, AND (COME) FORTH IN (FRONT OF EVERYONE) (or come up and stand where we can see you!-JNT). AND HE AROSE AND (CAME) (there).
Lk 6:9. THEN SAID JESUS (TO) THEM, I WILL ASK YOU ONE THING; IS IT (PERMITTED) ON THE SABBATH DAYS TO DO GOOD, OR TO DO EVIL? TO SAVE (a) LIFE, OR TO DESTROY IT?
Lk 6:10. AND LOOKING (AROUND) (AT) THEM ALL, HE SAID (TO) THE MAN, STRETCH FORTH (YOUR) HAND. AND HE DID SO: AND HIS HAND WAS (completely) RESTORED WHOLE AS THE OTHER.
Lk 6:11. AND THEY WERE FILLED WITH MADNESS (or rage, or were furious); AND (DISCUSSED) ONE WITH ANOTHER WHAT THEY MIGHT DO TO JESUS.

Mk 3:7. BUT JESUS WITHDREW HIMSELF WITH HIS DISCIPLES TO THE (LAKE): AND A GREAT (CROWD) FROM GALILEE FOLLOWED HIM, AND (also) FROM (JUDEA),
Mk 3:8. AND FROM JERUSALEM, AND FROM (IDUMEA), AND FROM BEYOND (the) JORDAN; AND THEY ABOUT (the vicinity of) TYRE AND SIDON, A GREAT MULTITUDE, WHEN THEY HAD HEARD WHAT GREAT THINGS HE DID, CAME (TO) (or followed) HIM.
Mk 3:9. AND HE (SAID) TO HIS DISCIPLES, THAT A SMALL (BOAT) SHOULD WAIT ON HIM BECAUSE OF THE MULTITUDE, LEST THEY SHOULD (CROWD) (or crush) HIM (or so that He could escape the crush of the crowd if necessary-JNT).
Mk 3:10. FOR HE HAD HEALED MANY; INSOMUCH (or with the result) THAT THEY (WERE PUSHING FORWARD) UPON HIM (IN ORDER) TO TOUCH HIM, AS MANY AS HAD PLAGUES (or afflictions) (or all the sick kept pressing forward to touch Him-JNT).
Mk 3:11. AND UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS, WHEN THEY SAW HIM, (they) FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM, AND CRIED (out), SAYING, (YOU) (ARE) THE SON OF GOD.
Mk 3:12. AND HE (EARNESTLY WARNED) THEM (or gave them strict orders-NIV) THAT THEY SHOULD NOT MAKE HIM KNOWN (who He was).

Mt 12:17. THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY (ISAIAH) THE PROPHET, SAYING,
Mt 12:18. BEHOLD MY SERVANT, WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN; MY BELOVED (or the One I love-NIV), IN WHOM MY SOUL IS WELL PLEASED (or in Whom I delight-NIV): I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, AND HE SHALL (PROCLAIM) JUDGMENT (or justice) TO THE GENTILES.
Mt 12:19. HE SHALL NOT STRIVE (or quarrel, or fight), NOR CRY (out or shout); NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN HEAR HIS VOICE IN THE STREETS.
Mt 12:20. A BRUISED (or battered, or broken) REED SHALL HE NOT BREAK (or snap) (off), AND SMOKING (or smoldering) FLAX (or wick) SHALL HE NOT QUENCH (or put out, or snuff out), TILL HE (HAS BROUGHT) FORTH JUDGMENT (or justice) (through) (TO) VICTORY.
Mt 12:21. AND IN HIS NAME SHALL THE GENTILES TRUST (or hope).

Mk 3:13 (Part 1). AND HE (WENT) UP INTO A (HILL) (side),

Lk 6:12. AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS, THAT HE WENT OUT (TO) (THE HILL COUNTRY) TO PRAY, AND (He) CONTINUED ALL NIGHT IN PRAYER (praying) TO GOD.

Mk 3:13 (Part 2). AND (CALLED) (TO) HIM (THOSE) HE (WANTED): AND THEY CAME (TO) HIM.
Mk 3:14. AND HE ORDAINED (or appointed) TWELVE, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, AND THAT HE MIGHT SEND THEM FORTH TO PREACH,
Mk 3:15. AND TO HAVE (AUTHORITY) TO HEAL SICKNESSES, AND TO CAST OUT (or expel, or drive out) (DEMONS):
Mk 3:16. (And He appointed the twelve-NASB) AND SIMON HE (GAVE THE NAME) PETER;
Mk 3:17. AND JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, AND JOHN THE BROTHER OF JAMES; AND HE (GAVE THE NAME) BOANERGES, WHICH (MEANS), THE SONS OF THUNDER:
Mk 3:18. AND ANDREW, AND PHILIP, AND BARTHOLOMEW, AND MATTHEW, AND THOMAS, AND JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS, AND THADDAEUS, AND SIMON THE CANAANITE (or Zealot),
Mk 3:19. AND JUDAS ISCARIOT, WHICH ALSO BETRAYED HIM: AND THEY WENT INTO AN HOUSE (or came home).

Lk 6:13. AND WHEN IT WAS DAY (or when morning came), HE CALLED (TO) HIM HIS DISCIPLES: AND OF THEM HE CHOSE TWELVE, WHOM ALSO HE NAMED APOSTLES (or emissaries);

Lk 6:14. SIMON, (WHOM HE ALSO NAMED PETER,) AND ANDREW HIS BROTHER, JAMES AND JOHN, PHILIP AND BARTHOLOMEW,
Lk 6:15. (and) MATTHEW AND THOMAS, JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS, AND SIMON (who was) CALLED ZELOTES (or the Zealot),
Lk 6:16. AND JUDAS THE BROTHER (or son) OF JAMES, AND JUDAS (from) ISCARIOT (or K’riot), WHICH (BECAME) THE TRAITOR.

Lk 6:17. AND HE CAME DOWN WITH THEM, AND STOOD IN THE PLAIN (or on a level place-NKJV), AND THE (large) (CROWD) OF HIS DISCIPLES, AND A GREAT MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE OUT OF ALL (JUDEA) AND JERUSALEM, AND FROM THE SEA COAST (or coastal region) OF TYRE AND SIDON, WHICH CAME TO HEAR HIM, AND TO BE HEALED OF THEIR DISEASES;
Lk 6:18. AND THEY THAT WERE (TORMENTED) WITH UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS: AND THEY WERE (CURED).
Lk 6:19. AND THE WHOLE MULTITUDE (TRIED) TO TOUCH HIM: FOR THERE WENT VIRTUE (or power) OUT (FROM) HIM, AND HEALED THEM ALL.

Mt 5:1. AND SEEING THE (CROWDS), HE (WALKED) UP (ON) A (HILL): AND (AFTER HE SAT DOWN), HIS DISCIPLES CAME (TO) HIM:
Mt 5:2. AND (then) HE (BEGAN TO SPEAK), AND (BEGAN TO TEACH) THEM, SAYING,
Mt 5:3. (How) BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT: FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Mt 5:4. (How) BLESSED ARE THEY THAT MOURN: FOR THEY SHALL BE COMFORTED.
Mt 5:5. (How) BLESSED ARE THE MEEK (or the gentle): FOR THEY SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH (or land).
Mt 5:6. (How) BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH DO HUNGER AND THIRST (FOR) RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR THEY SHALL BE (SATISFIED).
Mt 5:7. (How) BLESSED ARE (THOSE WHO SHOW MERCY): FOR THEY SHALL OBTAIN (or receive, or be shown) MERCY.
Mt 5:8. (How) BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART: FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD.
Mt 5:9. (How) BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS: FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED THE CHILDREN (or sons) OF GOD.
Mt 5:10. (How) BLESSED ARE THEY WHICH ARE PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE (or because of righteousness, or because they pursue righteousness!-JNT): FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Mt 5:11. (How) BLESSED ARE (YOU), WHEN MEN SHALL REVILE (or cast insults at) YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU, AND SHALL SAY ALL (KINDS) OF EVIL (or vicious lies) AGAINST YOU FALSELY, FOR MY SAKE (or because of Me, or because you follow Me!-JNT).
Mt 5:12. REJOICE, AND BE EXCEEDING GLAD: FOR GREAT IS YOUR REWARD IN HEAVEN: FOR (IN THE SAME WAY) PERSECUTED THEY THE PROPHETS WHICH WERE BEFORE YOU.

Lk 6:20. AND HE LIFTED UP HIS EYES (looking) ON HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID, BLESSED BE (YOU) (who are) POOR: FOR YOURS IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
Lk 6:21. BLESSED ARE (YOU) THAT HUNGER NOW: FOR (YOU) SHALL BE (SATISFIED). BLESSED ARE (YOU) THAT WEEP (or are crying) NOW: FOR (YOU) SHALL LAUGH.
Lk 6:22. BLESSED ARE (YOU), WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND WHEN THEY SHALL SEPARATE (or exclude) YOU FROM THEIR COMPANY, AND SHALL REPROACH (or cast insults at, or revile, or insult) YOU, AND CAST OUT (or spurn, or reject) YOUR NAME AS EVIL (or denounce you as a criminal-JNT), (ON ACCOUNT OF) THE SON OF (MAN).
Lk 6:23. REJOICE YE (or be glad) IN THAT DAY (when this happens), AND LEAP (or dance) FOR JOY: FOR, (INDEED), YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN: FOR IN THE (SAME WAY) DID THEIR FATHERS (TO) THE PROPHETS.

Lk 6:24. BUT WOE (TO) YOU THAT ARE RICH! FOR (YOU) HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CONSOLATION (or comfort in full, or all the comfort you will get-JNT).
Lk 6:25. WOE (TO) YOU THAT ARE FULL (or well fed now)! FOR (YOU) SHALL (GO HUNGRY). WOE (TO) YOU THAT LAUGH NOW! FOR (YOU) SHALL MOURN AND (CRY).
Lk 6:26. WOE (TO) YOU, WHEN ALL MEN SHALL SPEAK WELL OF YOU! FOR (in the same way) SO DID THEIR FATHERS (used) TO (treat) THE FALSE PROPHETS.

Lk 6:27. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU WHICH HEAR (Me) (or are listening), LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, DO GOOD TO THEM WHICH HATE YOU,

Lk 6:28. BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU (or mistreat you).

Mt 5:13. (YOU) ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH (or land): BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS (FLAVOR) (or saltiness, or has become tasteless), (HOW) SHALL IT BE SALTED (or seasoned, or be made salty again-NASB)? IT IS (NO LONGER) GOOD FOR (ANYTHING), (EXCEPT) TO BE (THROWN) OUT, AND TO BE (TRAMPLED) UNDER FOOT (BY) MEN. (Ref Mk 9:50, Lk 14:34)

Mt 5:14. (YOU) ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A CITY (or town) THAT IS SET (or built) ON AN HILL CANNOT BE HID.

Mt 5:15. NEITHER DO (PEOPLE) LIGHT A CANDLE (or lamp), AND PUT IT UNDER A BUSHEL (or peck-measure, or bowl, or basket), BUT (instead they put it-NIV) ON A (LAMPSTAND); AND IT (GIVES) LIGHT (TO) (or shines for) (EVERYONE) THAT ARE IN THE HOUSE. (Ref Mk 4:21, Lk 8:16, 11:33)
Mt 5:16. (In the same way) LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE (PEOPLE), THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS (or deeds), AND GLORIFY (or praise) YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

Mt 5:17. (DO NOT THINK) THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY (or abolish) THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS: I (DID) NOT COME TO DESTROY (or abolish), BUT TO FULFILL (or complete) (them).
Mt 5:18. FOR VERILY (or yes indeed) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS (away or disappear), ONE JOT (or the smallest letter) OR ONE TITTLE (or the least stroke of a pen-NIV) SHALL IN NO WISE (or by any means) PASS (or disappear) FROM THE LAW, TILL (EVERYTHING) BE FULFILLED (or accomplished, or until everything that must happen has happened-JNT).

Mt 5:19. (ANYONE) THEREFORE (who) SHALL BREAK ONE OF THESE LEAST (or annuls one of the least of these-NASB) COMMANDMENTS, AND (TEACHES OTHERS TO DO THE SAME-NIV), HE SHALL BE CALLED THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN: BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DO (or practices, or obeys) AND (TEACHES) (THESE COMMANDS), THE SAME (HE) SHALL BE CALLED GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Mt 5:20. FOR I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT (UNLESS) YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL EXCEED (or surpasses, or exceeds, or is far greater than-JNT) THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SCRIBES (or the teachers of the Law-NIV) AND PHARISEES, (YOU) SHALL (certainly) IN NO CASE (or by no means) ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Mt 5:21. (YOU) HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID BY (or to) THEM (the people, or the ancients, or our fathers) OF OLD TIME (or long ago), (YOU) (SHALL) NOT (COMMIT MURDER); AND (ANYONE WHO) (COMMITS MURDER) SHALL BE IN DANGER OF (or liable to, or subject to) THE JUDGMENT (or the court):
Mt 5:22. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT (EVERYONE THAT) IS ANGRY WITH (or nurses anger against) HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE SHALL BE IN DANGER OF (or guilty before, or subject to) THE JUDGMENT (or before the court): AND WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY TO HIS BROTHER, RACA (or ‘You good-for-nothing!’-JNT), SHALL BE IN DANGER OF (or guilty before) (or brought before) THE COUNCIL (or supreme court, or the Sanhedrin): BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY, (YOU) FOOL, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF (or guilty enough to go into-NASB, or incurs the penalty of-JNT) (HE FIRE OF HELL), (or burning in the fire of Gey-Hinnom!-JNT).

Mt 5:23. THEREFORE IF (YOU) BRING (or are presenting, or are offering) (YOUR) GIFT (or your offering) TO (or at) THE (Temple) ALTAR, AND THERE (REMEMBER) THAT (YOUR) BROTHER (HAS) (SOMETHING) AGAINST (YOU);
Mt 5:24. LEAVE THERE (YOUR) GIFT (or offering) BEFORE (or in front of, or by) THE ALTAR, AND GO (YOUR) WAY; FIRST BE RECONCILED (or make peace) TO (YOUR) BROTHER, AND THEN COME (back) AND OFFER (YOUR) GIFT (or offering).

Mt 5:25. AGREE (or make friends, or settle matters) WITH (YOUR) ADVERSARY (or opponent at law, or who is taking you to court-NIV, or sues you) QUICKLY, (WHILE) (YOU) (ARE) (ON) THE WAY WITH HIM (to court); LEST AT ANY TIME (YOUR) ADVERSARY (HAND) (YOU) (over) TO THE JUDGE, AND THE JUDGE (HAND) (YOU) (over) TO THE OFFICER (of the court), AND (YOU) BE (THROWN) INTO PRISON.
Mt 5:26. VERILY (yes indeed) I SAY (TO) (YOU) (the truth), (YOU) (WILL) BY NO MEANS (GET) OUT (OF THERE), TILL (YOU) (HAVE) PAID (up) THE UTTERMOST FARTHING (or last cent, or penny).

Mt 5:27. (YOU) HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID BY (or to) (OUR FATHERS) OF OLD TIME, (YOU) (SHALL) NOT COMMIT ADULTERY:
Mt 5:28. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT (ANYONE WHO) (LOOKS) ON A WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER (HAS) COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER ALREADY IN HIS HEART.

Mt 5:29. AND IF (YOUR) RIGHT EYE OFFEND (YOU) (or makes you stumble, or causes you to sin-NKJV), PLUCK (or tear, or gouge) IT OUT, AND (THROW) IT (away) FROM (YOU): FOR IT IS (more) PROFITABLE (or better) FOR (YOU) THAT ONE OF (YOUR) MEMBERS (or parts of your body-NASB) SHOULD PERISH, AND NOT THAT (YOUR) WHOLE BODY SHOULD BE (THROWN) INTO HELL.
Mt 5:30. AND IF (YOUR) RIGHT HAND OFFEND (YOU) (or makes you stumble, or causes you to sin-NKJV), CUT IT OFF, AND (THROW) IT (away) FROM (YOU): FOR IT IS (more) PROFITABLE (or better) FOR (YOU) THAT ONE OF (YOUR) MEMBERS (or one part) (of your body) SHOULD PERISH, AND NOT THAT (YOUR) WHOLE BODY SHOULD (GO) INTO HELL.

Mt 5:31. (Furthermore) IT (HAS) BEEN SAID, (ANYONE WHO) (DIVORCES) HIS WIFE, LET HIM GIVE HER A (CERTIFICATE) OF (DIVORCE):
Mt 5:32. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT (ANYONE WHO) (DIVORCES) HIS WIFE (for any reason), (EXCEPT) FOR THE CAUSE OF FORNICATION (or unchastity, or marital unfaithfulness, or sexual immorality), (CAUSES) (or makes) HER TO (BECOME AN ADULTERESS): AND (ANYONE WHO) SHALL MARRY HER THAT IS DIVORCED (COMMITS) ADULTERY.

Mt 5:33. AGAIN, (YOU) HAVE HEARD THAT IT (WAS) SAID BY (or to) THEM (our fathers) OF OLD TIME, (YOU) (SHALL) NOT FORSWEAR THYSELF (or make false vows, or swear falsely, or break your oath), BUT (SHALL) PERFORM (or fulfill, or keep) (TO) THE LORD (YOUR) OATHS (or vows):
Mt 5:34. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, (MAKE NO OATH) AT ALL; NEITHER BY HEAVEN; FOR IT IS GOD'S THRONE:
Mt 5:35. NOR BY THE EARTH; FOR IT IS HIS FOOTSTOOL (of His feet): NEITHER BY JERUSALEM; FOR IT IS THE CITY OF THE GREAT KING.
Mt 5:36. NEITHER (SHALL) (YOU) (MAKE AN OATH) BY (YOUR) HEAD, BECAUSE (YOU) (CANNOT) MAKE ONE HAIR WHITE OR BLACK.

Mt 5:37. BUT (just) (simply) LET YOUR COMMUNICATION (or statement, or yes) BE, (A SIMPLE ‘YES,’ AND); (YOUR ‘NO’ A SIMPLE ‘NO’-JNT): FOR (ANYTHING BEYOND) THESE (IS) OF (the) EVIL (one) (or has its origin in evil-JNT).

Mt 5:38. (YOU) HAVE HEARD THAT (OUR FATHERS WERE TOLD), AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH:
Mt 5:39. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT (YOU) RESIST NOT (or I tell you not to stand up against-JNT) (him who is) EVIL (or an evil person, or someone who does you wrong-JNT): (on the contrary) BUT (IF SOMEONE) (SLAPS) (or strikes, or hits) (YOU) ON (YOUR) RIGHT CHEEK, TURN TO HIM THE OTHER ALSO (or let him hit you on the left cheek too!-JNT).

Lk 6:29. AND (TO) HIM THAT (HITS) (YOU) ON THE ONE CHEEK OFFER (him) ALSO THE OTHER; AND HIM THAT (TAKES) AWAY (YOUR) CLOKE (or coat) (DO NOT STOP HIM FROM TAKING-NIV) (YOUR) COAT (or shirt) ALSO (or do not withhold your shirt from him either-NASB).

Mt 5:40. AND IF (SOMEONE) WILL SUE (YOU) AT THE LAW, AND TAKE AWAY (YOUR) COAT (or shirt, or tunic), LET HIM HAVE (YOUR) CLOAK (or coat) ALSO.
Mt 5:41. AND (IF SOMEONE) SHALL (FORCE) (YOU) TO GO (ONE) MILE, GO WITH HIM (TWO) (or if a soldier forces you to carry his pack for one mile, carry it for two!-JNT).

Mt 5:42. GIVE TO (THE ONE) THAT (ASKS) (YOU) (for something), AND FROM HIM THAT (WANTS TO) BORROW OF (YOU) (something) (DO NOT TURN) AWAY. (lend it to him).

Lk 6:30. GIVE TO EVERY MAN THAT (ASKS) OF (YOU); AND OF HIM THAT (TAKES) AWAY (YOUR) GOODS (DO) NOT (DEMAND IT BACK).

Lk 6:38. GIVE, AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN (TO) YOU; (a) GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, AND SHAKEN TOGETHER, AND RUNNING OVER, SHALL MEN GIVE (or pour) INTO YOUR BOSOM (or lap). FOR WITH THE SAME MEASURE (or standard of measure) THAT (YOU) (USE) WITHAL IT SHALL BE MEASURED (back) TO YOU (IN RETURN).

Lk 6:39. AND HE (also) (SPOKE) A PARABLE (TO) THEM, CAN THE BLIND LEAD (or guide) THE BLIND? SHALL THEY NOT BOTH FALL INTO THE DITCH (or pit)?

Mt 5:43. (YOU) HAVE HEARD THAT (OUR FATHERS WERE TOLD), (YOU) (SHALL) LOVE (YOUR) NEIGHBOR, AND HATE (YOUR) ENEMY.
Mt 5:44. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU;
Mt 5:45. (In order) THAT (YOU) MAY (BECOME) THE CHILDREN OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN: FOR HE (MAKES) HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE (BAD PEOPLE) AND ON THE GOOD, AND (SENDS) RAIN ON THE (RIGHTEOUS) AND ON THE UNJUST (or unrighteous alike).

Lk 6:35. BUT LOVE YE YOUR ENEMIES, AND DO GOOD, AND LEND, (EXPECTING) NOTHING (IN RETURN); AND YOUR REWARD SHALL BE GREAT, AND (YOU) SHALL BE THE CHILDREN (or sons) OF THE HIGHEST: FOR HE IS KIND (TO) THE UNTHANKFUL AND TO THE EVIL (or wicked) (men).

Mt 5:46. FOR IF (YOU) LOVE THEM WHICH LOVE YOU, WHAT REWARD (WILL) (YOU) (get)? DO NOT EVEN THE (TAX COLLECTORS) (do) THE SAME?

Lk 6:32. FOR IF (YOU) LOVE THEM WHICH LOVE YOU, WHAT (CREDIT) (IS IT TO) (YOU)? FOR (even) SINNERS ALSO LOVE THOSE THAT LOVE THEM.

Mt 5:47. AND IF (YOU) SALUTE (or greet, or are friendly…to-JNT) YOUR BRETHREN (or brothers, or friends) ONLY, WHAT DO (YOU) MORE THAN OTHERS (or out of the ordinary-JNT)? DO NOT EVEN THE PUBLICANS (or Gentiles, or pagans, or tax collectors) (DO THE SAME) (or do that)?

Lk 6:33. AND IF (YOU) DO GOOD TO THEM WHICH DO GOOD TO YOU, WHAT (CREDIT) HAVE (YOU)? FOR SINNERS ALSO DO EVEN THE SAME.
Lk 6:34. AND IF (YOU) LEND TO THEM OF WHOM (YOU) HOPE (or expect) TO RECEIVE (repayment), WHAT (CREDIT) HAVE (YOU)? FOR SINNERS ALSO LEND TO SINNERS, TO RECEIVE AS MUCH AGAIN (or expecting) (to receive back the same amount-NASB).

Lk 6:36. BE YE THEREFORE MERCIFUL (or show compassion), (just) AS YOUR FATHER ALSO IS MERCIFUL (or shows compassion).

Mt 5:48. BE (YOU) THEREFORE PERFECT, (JUST) AS YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.

Lk 6:40. THE DISCIPLE (or pupil, or student) IS NOT ABOVE HIS MASTER (or teacher): BUT EVERY ONE THAT IS PERFECT (or after he has been fully trained-NASB) SHALL BE (LIKE) HIS MASTER (or teacher).

Mt 6:1. TAKE HEED (or beware, or be careful) THAT (YOU) DO NOT (parade) YOUR ALMS (or charitable deeds, or acts of righteousness) (IN FRONT OF PEOPLE-JNT), TO BE SEEN (BY) THEM: OTHERWISE (or if you do,) (YOU) HAVE NO REWARD OF YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
Mt 6:2. THEREFORE WHEN (YOU) (GIVE) (A CHARITABLE DEED), DO NOT (ANNOUNCE IT WITH TRUMPETS) (LIKE) THE HYPOCRITES DO IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND IN THE STREETS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE (PEOPLE’S PRAISE) (or be honored) OF MEN. (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THEY HAVE (received) THEIR REWARD (in full) (already!).
Mt 6:3. BUT WHEN (YOU) (GIVE) (TO THE NEEDY) (or do a charitable deed-NKJV), LET NOT (YOUR) LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT (YOUR) RIGHT HAND (IS DOING):
Mt 6:4. THAT (YOUR) (GIVING) (or charitable deed) MAY BE IN SECRET: AND (YOUR) FATHER WHICH (SEES) IN SECRET HIMSELF SHALL REWARD (YOU) OPENLY.

Mt 6:5. AND WHEN (YOU) (PRAY), (YOU) (SHALL) NOT BE AS THE HYPOCRITES ARE: FOR THEY LOVE TO PRAY STANDING IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND IN THE CORNERS OF THE STREETS, THAT THEY MAY BE SEEN OF (PEOPLE). (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THEY HAVE (received) THEIR REWARD (in full) (already!).
Mt 6:6. BUT (YOU), WHEN (YOU) (PRAY), (GO) INTO (YOUR) CLOSET (or inner room), AND WHEN (YOU) (HAVE) (CLOSED) (YOUR) DOOR, PRAY TO (YOUR) FATHER (WHO) IS IN SECRET (or is unseen, or is in the secret place-NKJV) (or pray to your Father in secret-JNT); AND (then) (YOUR) FATHER WHICH (SEES) (what is done) IN SECRET SHALL REWARD (YOU) OPENLY.
Mt 6:7. BUT WHEN (YOU) PRAY, USE NOT VAIN REPETITIONS (or meaningless repetition, or do not keep on babbling-NIV, or babble on and on-JNT), AS THE HEATHEN (or Gentiles, or pagans) DO: FOR THEY THINK THAT THEY SHALL BE HEARD (better) (IF THEY TALK A LOT).
Mt 6:8. BE NOT YE THEREFORE LIKE UNTO THEM: FOR YOUR FATHER (KNOWS) WHAT THINGS (YOU) HAVE NEED OF, BEFORE (YOU) ASK HIM.

Mt 6:9. PRAY, THEN, IN THIS WAY-NASB): OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE (YOUR) NAME (or may Your Name be kept holy-JNT).
Mt 6:10. (May) (YOUR) KINGDOM COME. (YOUR) WILL BE DONE (ON) EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
Mt 6:11. GIVE US THIS DAY (or today) OUR DAILY BREAD (or give us the food we need today-JNT).
Mt 6:12. AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS (or what we have done wrong-JNT), AS WE (too) FORGIVE (or have forgiven) OUR DEBTORS (or those who have wronged us-JNT).
Mt 6:13. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION (or hard testing), BUT DELIVER US (or keep us safe) FROM EVIL (or the evil one): FOR (YOURS) IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY (is Yours), FOR EVER. AMEN. (Ref Lk 11:1)

Mt 6:14. FOR IF (YOU) FORGIVE (OTHERS) THEIR TRESPASSES (when they sin against you-NASB), YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO FORGIVE YOU:
Mt 6:15. BUT IF (YOU) FORGIVE NOT (OTHERS) THEIR TRESPASSES (or sins, or offences), NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES (or sins). (Ref Mt 18:21-22, Mk 11:24-26, Lk 6:37, 17:3-4)

(Part 4 of 14)

Mt 6:16. MOREOVER WHEN (YOU) FAST, BE NOT, AS THE HYPOCRITES, (WITH) A SAD COUNTENANCE (or gloomy face, or somber, or looking miserable): FOR THEY DISFIGURE (or neglect, or make) THEIR FACES (or appearance) (sour), (SO PEOPLE WILL KNOW THEY ARE FASTING-JNT). (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THEY HAVE (received) THEIR REWARD (in full) (already). (Ref Mt 9:14)
Mt 6:17. BUT THOU, WHEN (YOU) (FAST), PUT OIL ON) (YOUR) HEAD (or groom yourself), AND WASH (YOUR) FACE;
Mt 6:18. THAT (YOU) APPEAR NOT (TO) MEN TO FAST (or so it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting-NASB), BUT (only) (TO) (YOUR) FATHER (WHO) IS IN SECRET (or unseen, or Who is in the secret place-NKJV) (or Who is with you in secret-JNT): AND (YOUR) FATHER, WHICH (SEES) (what is done) IN SECRET, SHALL REWARD (or repay) (YOU) OPENLY. (Ref Mt 9:14)

Mt 6:19. (DO NOT STORE) UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES (or wealth) UPON EARTH, WHERE MOTH AND RUST (DESTROY), AND WHERE THIEVES BREAK THROUGH (or in) AND STEAL:
Mt 6:20. BUT (or instead) LAY (or store) UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES (or wealth) IN HEAVEN, WHERE MOTH (AND) RUST (DO NOT) CORRUPT (or destroy), AND WHERE THIEVES (or burglars) DO NOT BREAK THROUGH NOR STEAL:
Mt 6:21. FOR WHERE YOUR (WEALTH) IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO.

Mt 6:22. THE LIGHT (or lamp) OF THE BODY IS THE EYE: IF THEREFORE (YOUR) EYE BE SINGLE (or clear, or good), (that is, if you are generous-JNT) (YOUR) WHOLE BODY SHALL BE FULL OF LIGHT. (Ref Lk 11:34)
Mt 6:23. BUT IF (YOUR) EYE BE EVIL (or bad) (or if you are stingy-JNT), (YOUR) WHOLE BODY SHALL BE FULL OF DARKNESS. IF THEREFORE THE LIGHT THAT IS IN (YOU) (IS) DARKNESS, HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS!

Mt 6:24. NO MAN (or no one) CAN SERVE (or be slave to) TWO MASTERS: FOR EITHER HE WILL HATE THE ONE (or the first), AND LOVE THE OTHER (or the second); OR ELSE HE WILL HOLD (or be devoted, or be loyal) TO THE ONE, AND DESPISE (or scorn) THE OTHER (or the second). (YOU) CANNOT SERVE (or be a slave to both-JNT) GOD AND (MONEY). (Ref Lk 16:13-14)

Mt 6:25. (FOR THIS REASON) I SAY (TO) YOU, TAKE NO THOUGHT (or do not worry, or do not be anxious-NASB) (ABOUT) YOUR LIFE, (as to) WHAT (YOU) SHALL EAT, OR WHAT (YOU) SHALL DRINK; NOR YET FOR YOUR BODY, WHAT (YOU) SHALL PUT ON (or wear). IS NOT THE LIFE MORE (important) THAN (FOOD), AND THE BODY (more important) THAN (CLOTHING)?
Mt 6:26. (LOOK AT) THE (BIRDS) OF THE AIR (flying about!): FOR THEY (PLANT) NOT, NEITHER DO THEY REAP (or harvest), NOR GATHER (or store away) (food) INTO BARNS; YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER (FEEDS) THEM. ARE (YOU) NOT MUCH BETTER (or worth much more, or more valuable) THAN THEY (are)?
Mt 6:27. WHICH OF YOU BY (WORRYING) (or being anxious) CAN ADD (A SINGLE) (HOUR) (TO) HIS (LIFE’S SPAN)?
Mt 6:28. AND WHY TAKE (YOU) THOUGHT (or why do you worry-NIV) (ABOUT) (CLOTHING)? CONSIDER (or observe) THE LILIES OF THE FIELD (or fields of wild irises-JNT), HOW THEY GROW; THEY (WORK) (or labor) NOT, NEITHER DO THEY SPIN (thread):
Mt 6:29. AND YET I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT EVEN SOLOMON IN ALL HIS GLORY (or splendor) WAS NOT (CLOTHED AS BEAUTIFULLY) (AS ) ONE OF THESE.
Mt 6:30. WHEREFORE, IF GOD SO CLOTHE (or arrays) THE GRASS OF THE FIELD, WHICH TO DAY IS (alive, or here), AND (TOMORROW) IS (THROWN) INTO THE OVEN (or furnace, or fire), SHALL HE NOT MUCH MORE CLOTHE YOU, O (YOU) (men) OF LITTLE FAITH (What little trust you have!-JNT)?
Mt 6:31. THEREFORE TAKE NO THOUGHT (or do not worry) (or be anxious), SAYING, WHAT SHALL WE EAT? OR, WHAT SHALL WE DRINK? OR, (WITH WHAT) (or how) SHALL (CLOTHE OURSELVES) (or what shall we wear)?
Mt 6:32. (FOR AFTER ALL THESE THINGS DO THE GENTILES [or pagans] [eagerly] SEEK [or run after, or set their hearts on-JNT]:) FOR YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER (KNOWS) THAT (YOU) HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS.
Mt 6:33. BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD (or His kingdom), AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE (GIVEN) (TO) YOU (as well).
Mt 6:34. TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT (or do not worry) (ABOUT) (TOMORROW): FOR (TOMORROW) SHALL TAKE (CARE) (or worry) (ABOUT) (ITS OWN THINGS). SUFFICIENT UNTO THE DAY IS THE EVIL THEREOF (or each day has enough trouble of its own-NASB) (already). (Ref Lk 12:22-32)

Mt 7:1. (DON’T JUDGE), THAT (YOU) BE NOT JUDGED (or so you won’t be judged-JNT) (or you too will be judged-NIV).
Mt 7:2. FOR WITH WHAT JUDGMENT (YOU) JUDGE (or in the same way you judge others-NIV), (is how) (YOU) SHALL BE JUDGED: AND WITH WHAT (standard of) MEASURE (YOU) (USE) (or measure out), IT SHALL BE (used to) MEASURED (back) TO YOU AGAIN.

Lk 6:37. JUDGE NOT, AND (YOU) SHALL NOT BE JUDGED: CONDEMN NOT, AND (YOU) SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED: FORGIVE (or pardon), AND (YOU) SHALL BE FORGIVEN (or pardoned): (Ref Mt 16:14-15, 18:21-22, Mk 11:24-26, Lk17:3-4)

Mt 7:3. AND (WHY DO) (YOU) (LOOK AT) THE (SPECK OF SAWDUST) THAT IS IN (YOUR) BROTHER'S EYE, BUT (DO NOT NOTICE) (or pay no attention to-NIV) THE BEAM (or log, or plank) THAT IS IN (YOUR) OWN EYE?
Mt 7:4. OR HOW (CAN) (YOU) SAY TO (YOUR) BROTHER, LET ME (TAKE) OUT (or remove) THE (SPECK) (or splinter) OUT OF (YOUR) EYE; AND, (LOOK), (all the time) A BEAM (or log, or plank) IS IN (YOUR) OWN EYE?

Lk 6:41. AND WHY (DO YOU LOOK AT) THE MOTE (or speck of sawdust, or splinter) THAT IS IN (YOUR) BROTHER'S EYE, BUT (PAY NO ATTENTION TO) (or do not notice) THE BEAM (or log) THAT IS IN (YOUR) OWN EYE?
Lk 6:42 (Part 1). EITHER HOW (CAN) (YOU) SAY TO (YOUR) BROTHER, BROTHER, LET ME PULL OUT THE MOTE (or speck, or splinter) THAT IS IN (YOUR) EYE, WHEN (YOU) (YOURSELF) (DO) NOT (see) THE BEAM (or log) THAT IS IN (YOUR) OWN EYE?

Mt 7:5. (YOU) HYPOCRITE, FIRST (TAKE) OUT THE BEAM (or log, or plank) OUT OF (YOUR) OWN EYE; AND (so) THEN (WILL) (YOU) SEE CLEARLY TO (TAKE) OUT (or remove) THE (SPECK) (or splinter) OUT (FROM) (YOUR) BROTHER'S EYE.

Lk 6:42 (Part 2). (YOU) HYPOCRITE, (TAKE) OUT FIRST THE BEAM (or log) OUT OF (YOUR) OWN EYE, AND THEN (WILL) (YOU) SEE CLEARLY TO (TAKE) OUT THE MOTE (or speck, or splinter) THAT IS IN (YOUR) BROTHER'S EYE.

Mt 7:6. GIVE NOT THAT WHICH IS HOLY (or sacred) (TO) THE DOGS, NEITHER (THROW) YOUR PEARLS BEFORE (PIGS), LEST (if you do) THEY TRAMPLE THEM UNDER THEIR FEET, AND (then) TURN AGAIN AND (ATTACK) YOU (or tear you to pieces-NASB).

Mt 7:7. (KEEP ASKING), AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN (to) YOU; (KEEP SEEKING), AND (YOU) SHALL FIND; (KEEP KNOCKING), AND IT (the door) SHALL BE OPENED (TO) YOU:
Mt 7:8. FOR EVERY ONE THAT (KEEPS ASKING) (RECEIVES); AND HE THAT ((KEEPS SEEKING) (FINDS); AND TO HIM THAT (KEEPS KNOCKING) (THE DOOR) SHALL BE OPENED.
Mt 7:9. OR WHAT MAN IS THERE (AMONG) YOU, WHOM IF HIS SON ASK (for a loaf of-JNT) BREAD, WILL HE GIVE HIM A STONE?
Mt 7:10. OR IF HE ASK (for) A FISH, WILL HE GIVE HIM A (SNAKE)?
Mt 7:11. IF, (THOUGH YOU ARE) (BAD), KNOW HOW TO GIVE GOOD GIFTS (TO) YOUR CHILDREN, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN (KEEP GIVING) GOOD THINGS TO THEM THAT (KEEP ASKING) HIM? (Ref Lk 11:5, 9-13)

Mt 7:12. (So) THEREFORE (in) (EVERYTHING) WHATSOEVER (YOU) (WANT) THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU (or however you want people to treat you-NASB), DO (YOU) EVEN SO TO THEM (or so treat them, or always treat others as you would like them to treat you-JNT): FOR THIS (SUMS UP) THE LAW (or teaching of the Torah-JNT) AND THE PROPHETS.

Lk 6:31. AND (just) AS (YOU) WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, DO (YOU) ALSO TO THEM LIKEWISE (or treat other people as you would like them to treat you-JNT).

Mt 7:13. (GO) IN AT THE STRAIT (or narrow) GATE: FOR WIDE IS THE GATE, AND BROAD IS THE (ROAD), THAT (LEADS) TO DESTRUCTION, AND (THERE ARE MANY) WHICH GO (or enter) IN (or travel) (THROUGH IT):
Mt 7:14. BECAUSE STRAIT (or small, or narrow) IS THE GATE, AND NARROW (or difficult, or hard) IS THE (ROAD), WHICH (LEADS) (TO) LIFE, AND (THERE ARE ONLY A FEW-NASB) (WHO FIND IT). (Ref Lk 13:24)

Mt 7:15. (WATCH OUT FOR) FALSE PROPHETS, WHICH COME TO YOU (WEARING) SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY (or underneath) THEY ARE RAVENING (or ravenous, or ferocious, or hungry) WOLVES.

Mt 7:16. (YOU) SHALL KNOW (or recognize) THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. DO (PEOPLE) (PICK) GRAPES (FROM) (THORN BUSHES), OR FIGS (FROM) THISTLES?
Mt 7:17. (LIKEWISE) EVERY GOOD (or healthy) TREE (PRODUCES) GOOD FRUIT; BUT A CORRUPT (or bad, or poor) TREE (PRODUCES) (BAD) FRUIT.
Mt 7:18. A GOOD (or healthy) TREE CANNOT (PRODUCE) (or bear) (BAD) FRUIT, NEITHER CAN A CORRUPT (or bad, or poor) TREE (PRODUCE)(or bear) GOOD FRUIT.

Lk 6:43. FOR A GOOD TREE (DOES NOT BEAR) CORRUPT (or bad) FRUIT; NEITHER (DOES) A CORRUPT (or bad) TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT.

FROM LK 6:43|
BY THEIR FRUITS YOU SHALL KNOW THEM
31 YEARS PLUS 9 MONTHS

Mt 7:19. EVERY TREE THAT (DOES NOT BEAR) (or produce) GOOD FRUIT IS (CUT) DOWN, AND (THROWN) INTO THE FIRE.
Mt 7:20. (SO THEN) BY THEIR FRUITS (YOU) SHALL KNOW (or recognize) THEM.

Lk 6:44. FOR EVERY TREE IS (RECOGNIZED) BY HIS OWN FRUIT. FOR OF THORNS MEN DO NOT GATHER FIGS, NOR OF A BRAMBLE (or briar, or thorn) BUSH (or patch) GATHER THEY GRAPES.

Lk 6:45. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE (or store of good) (things) (IN) HIS HEART (BRINGS) FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE (or evil stored up) (IN) HIS HEART (BRINGS) FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL: FOR OF THE ABUNDANCE (or overflow) (WHICH FILLS HIS) HEART HIS MOUTH (SPEAKS).

Lk 6:46. AND WHY CALL (YOU) ME, LORD, LORD, AND DO NOT (do) THE THINGS WHICH I SAY?

Mt 7:21. NOT EVERY ONE THAT (SAYS) (TO) ME, LORD, LORD, SHALL ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN; BUT (only) HE THAT (DOES) THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN (or only those who do what my Father in heaven wants-JNT).
Mt 7:22. MANY WILL SAY TO ME IN THAT DAY, LORD, LORD, HAVE WE NOT PROPHESIED IN (YOUR) NAME? AND IN (YOUR) NAME HAVE CAST OUT (or drive out, or expel) (DEMONS)? AND IN (YOUR) NAME DONE MANY WONDERFUL WORKS (or miracles, or wonders)?
Mt 7:23. AND THEN WILL I (DECLARE) (TO) THEM (plainly, or to their faces), I NEVER KNEW YOU: (GET AWAY) FROM ME, (YOU) THAT WORK INIQUITY (or evil, or practice lawlessness). (Ref Lk 13:27)

Mt 7:24. THEREFORE (EVERYONE WHO) (HEARS) THESE (WORDS) OF MINE, AND (DOES) (or acts upon, or puts) THEM (into practice), I WILL (COMPARE) HIM (TO) A WISE (or sensible) MAN, WHICH BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK (or bedrock):
Mt 7:25. AND THE RAIN (CAME DOWN), AND THE FLOODS CAME, AND THE WINDS BLEW, AND BEAT (AGAINST) THAT HOUSE; AND (yet) IT FELL NOT (or didn’t collapse): FOR IT WAS FOUNDED (or had its foundation) UPON A ROCK.
Mt 7:26. AND EVERY ONE THAT (HEARS) THESE (WORDS) OF MINE, AND (DOES) THEM NOT (or does not act upon them-NASB, or does not put them into practice-NIV), SHALL BE LIKENED UNTO A FOOLISH (or stupid) MAN, WHICH BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON THE SAND:
Mt 7:27. AND THE RAIN (CAME DOWN) (or fell), AND THE FLOODS CAME, AND THE WINDS BLEW, AND BEAT (AGAINST) THAT HOUSE; AND IT FELL (or collapsed) (with a great crash-NIV): AND GREAT WAS THE FALL OF IT (its collapse was horrendous!-JNT).

Lk 6:47. (WHOEVER) (COMES) TO ME, AND (HEARS) MY (WORDS), AND (DOES) THEM (or puts them into practice-NIV) (or acts on them), I WILL SHOW YOU TO WHOM HE IS LIKE:
Lk 6:48. HE IS LIKE A MAN WHICH BUILT AN HOUSE, AND (DUG) DEEP, AND LAID THE FOUNDATION ON A ROCK (or bedrock): AND WHEN THE FLOOD AROSE, THE STREAM (or torrent) BEAT VEHEMENTLY UPON (or burst against) THAT HOUSE, AND COULD NOT SHAKE IT: FOR IT WAS FOUNDED (or built) (ON) A ROCK.
Lk 6:49. BUT HE THAT (HEARS) (My words), AND (DOES) NOT (put them into practice-NIV) (or does nothing, or doesn’t act on them-JNT), IS LIKE A MAN THAT WITHOUT A FOUNDATION BUILT AN HOUSE UPON THE (GROUND); AGAINST WHICH THE STREAM (or torrent, or river) DID BEAT (or burst, or struck that house) VEHEMENTLY, AND IMMEDIATELY IT FELL (or collapsed); AND THE RUIN (or destruction) OF THAT HOUSE WAS GREAT (or complete).

Mt 7:28. AND IT CAME TO PASS (or the result was that-NASB), WHEN JESUS HAD (FINISHED) THESE (WORDS), THE PEOPLE (or multitudes, or crowds) WERE ASTONISHED (or amazed) AT HIS DOCTRINE (or teaching, or way He taught):
Mt 7:29. FOR HE TAUGHT THEM AS ONE HAVING AUTHORITY (Himself), AND NOT AS THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV).

Mt 8:1. WHEN HE WAS COME DOWN FROM THE (HILL), (LARGE CROWDS) FOLLOWED HIM.

Lk 7:1. NOW WHEN (JESUS) HAD (FINISHED) ALL HIS SAYINGS IN THE (HEARING) OF THE PEOPLE, HE (WENT BACK) (TO) CAPERNAUM.

Mt 8:5. AND WHEN JESUS WAS ENTERED INTO CAPERNAUM, THERE CAME (up) (TO) HIM A CENTURION (or Roman army officer), BESEECHING (or entreating, or pleading, or asking) HIM (for help),
Mt 8:6. AND SAYING, LORD (or Sir), MY SERVANT (or orderly) (LIES) AT HOME SICK OF THE PALSY (or paralyzed), GRIEVOUSLY TORMENTED (or suffering great pain, or dreadfully tormented).
Mt 8:7. AND JESUS (SAID) (TO) HIM, I WILL COME AND HEAL HIM.
Mt 8:8. THE CENTURION (or officer) ANSWERED AND SAID, LORD (or Sir), I AM NOT WORTHY (or do not deserve, or I am unfit) THAT (YOU) (SHOULD) COME (INTO MY HOME): BUT (just) (SAY) THE WORD (or give the command) ONLY, AND MY SERVANT (or orderly) SHALL BE HEALED.
Mt 8:9. FOR I AM (also) A MAN UNDER AUTHORITY, HAVING SOLDIERS UNDER ME: AND I SAY TO THIS MAN, GO, AND HE (GOES); AND TO ANOTHER, COME, AND HE (COMES); AND TO MY SERVANT (or slave), DO THIS, AND HE (DOES) IT.
Mt 8:10. WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE MARVELED (or was astonished) (or amazed), AND SAID TO (THE PEOPLE) THAT FOLLOWED, (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), I HAVE NOT FOUND (SUCH) GREAT FAITH (or trust), NO, NOT (with anyone) IN ISRAEL.
Mt 8:11. AND I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT MANY SHALL COME FROM THE EAST AND WEST, AND SHALL SIT DOWN (or recline at the table-NASB, or take their places at the feast-NIV) WITH ABRAHAM, AND ISAAC, AND JACOB, IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
Mt 8:12. BUT THE CHILDREN (or sons, or subjects) OF THE KINGDOM (or those born for the kingdom-JNT) SHALL BE (THROWN) (OUTSIDE) INTO (THE DARK): (in that place) THERE SHALL BE WEEPING (or wailing) AND GNASHING OF (or grinding their) TEETH.
Mt 8:13. AND JESUS SAID (TO) THE CENTURION (or officer), GO (YOUR) WAY; AND AS (YOU) (HAVE) BELIEVED (or trusted), SO (LET IT BE) DONE (TO) (YOU). AND HIS SERVANT WAS HEALED IN (THAT VERY) HOUR.

Lk 7:2. AND A CERTAIN CENTURION'S (or a Roman army officer [’s] SERVANT (or slave), WHO WAS DEAR (TO) HIM, WAS SICK, AND READY TO DIE.
Lk 7:3. AND WHEN (THE CENTURION) (or officer) HEARD OF JESUS, HE SENT (TO) HIM (some of) THE ELDERS OF THE JEWS, (ASKING) (or pleading with) HIM THAT HE WOULD COME AND HEAL (or save the life of-NASB) HIS SERVANT.
Lk 7:4. AND WHEN THEY CAME TO JESUS, THEY (BEGGED) HIM (EARNESTLY), SAYING, THAT HE (this man) WAS WORTHY (or deserving) FOR WHOM HE SHOULD DO THIS (or he is worthy for You to grant this to him-NASB):
Lk 7:5. FOR HE (LOVES) OUR NATION (or people), AND HE (in fact) (HAS) BUILT US A SYNAGOGUE.
Lk 7:6. THEN JESUS WENT WITH THEM. AND WHEN HE WAS NOW NOT FAR FROM THE HOUSE, THE CENTURION (or officer) SENT FRIENDS TO HIM, SAYING (TO) HIM, LORD, TROUBLE NOT (YOURSELF) (further): FOR I AM NOT WORTHY (or do not deserve) THAT (YOU) (SHOULD) ENTER (or come) UNDER MY ROOF:
Lk 7:7. (FOR THIS REASON) NEITHER THOUGHT I MYSELF WORTHY TO COME (TO) (YOU): BUT SAY (THE) WORD (or command), AND MY SERVANT SHALL BE HEALED.
Lk 7:8. FOR I ALSO AM A MAN (PLACED) UNDER AUTHORITY, HAVING UNDER ME SOLDIERS, AND I SAY (TO) (this) ONE, GO, AND HE (GOES); AND TO ANOTHER, COME, AND HE (COMES); AND TO MY SERVANT (or slave), DO THIS, AND HE (DOES) IT.
Lk 7:9. WHEN JESUS HEARD THESE THINGS, HE (WAS AMAZED) AT HIM, AND TURNED (AROUND), AND SAID (TO) THE (CROWD) THAT FOLLOWED HIM, I SAY (TO) YOU, I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH (or trust), NO, NOT IN ISRAEL.
Lk 7:10. AND (THE MESSENGERS) THAT WERE SENT, RETURNING TO THE (officer’s) HOUSE, FOUND THE SERVANT (WELL) (or in good health) THAT HAD BEEN SICK.

Lk 7:11. AND IT CAME TO PASS THE DAY AFTER, THAT HE WENT INTO A CITY CALLED NAIN; AND MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT WITH HIM, (ACCOMPANIED BY) MUCH PEOPLE.
Lk 7:12. NOW WHEN HE CAME (NEAR) TO THE GATE OF THE CITY, BEHOLD, THERE WAS A DEAD MAN (being) CARRIED OUT (for burial), THE ONLY SON OF HIS MOTHER, AND SHE WAS A WIDOW: AND (A LARGE CROWD) OF THE CITY WAS WITH HER.
Lk 7:13. AND WHEN THE LORD SAW HER, HE HAD COMPASSION ON HER (or His heart went out to her-NIV), AND (He) SAID (TO) HER, WEEP NOT (or don’t cry).
Lk 7:14. AND HE (WENT UP) AND TOUCHED THE (OPEN COFFIN): AND THEY THAT BARE HIM (the pallbearers) (CAME TO A HALT). AND HE SAID, YOUNG MAN, I SAY (TO) (YOU), (GET UP).
Lk 7:15. AND HE THAT WAS DEAD SAT UP, AND BEGAN TO SPEAK. AND (JESUS) DELIVERED HIM (back) TO HIS MOTHER.
Lk 7:16. AND THERE CAME A FEAR (or awe) ON ALL: AND THEY GLORIFIED GOD, SAYING, THAT A GREAT PROPHET IS RISEN UP AMONG US; AND, THAT GOD (HAS) VISITED (or come to help) HIS PEOPLE.
Lk 7:17. AND THIS (REPORT) (or news) OF HIM WENT FORTH THROUGHOUT ALL (JUDEA), AND THROUGHOUT ALL THE (SURROUNDING DISTRICT).

Mt 11:2. NOW WHEN JOHN (the Immerser) HAD HEARD IN THE PRISON THE WORKS OF CHRIST (or what the Messiah had been doing-JNT), HE SENT (a message, or word by) TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES,
Mt 11:3. AND SAID (TO) HIM, (ARE) (YOU) HE (the One) THAT SHOULD COME (or the Expected One), OR DO WE LOOK FOR (SOMEONE ELSE)?
Mt 11:4. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, GO AND SHOW (unto) JOHN AGAIN THOSE THINGS WHICH (YOU) DO HEAR AND SEE:
Mt 11:5. THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT, AND THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS (or people with skin diseases-JNT) ARE CLEANSED (or cured), AND THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP, AND THE POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL (or Good News) PREACHED TO THEM.
Mt 11:6. AND BLESSED IS HE, WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED (BY) (or fall away on account of-NIV) ME (or who keeps from stumbling over Me-NASB).

Lk 7:18. AND THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN (REPORTED TO) HIM OF ALL THESE THINGS.
Lk 7:19. AND JOHN CALLING (TO) HIM TWO OF HIS DISCIPLES SENT THEM TO JESUS, SAYING, (ARE) (YOU) HE THAT SHOULD COME (or the Expected One)? OR LOOK WE FOR (SOMEONE ELSE)?
Lk 7:20. WHEN THE MEN WERE COME (TO) (JESUS), THEY SAID, JOHN (the) BAPTIST (or Immerser) (HAS) SENT US (TO) (YOU), SAYING, (ARE) (YOU) HE THAT SHOULD COME (or the Expected One)? OR LOOK WE FOR (SOMEONE ELSE)?
Lk 7:21. AND IN THAT SAME HOUR HE CURED MANY (people) OF THEIR (DISEASES) AND PLAGUES, (or pains, or afflictions, or sicknesses) AND OF EVIL SPIRITS; AND (TO) MANY THAT WERE BLIND HE GAVE SIGHT.
Lk 7:22. THEN JESUS ANSWERING SAID (TO) THEM, GO YOUR WAY (or go back), AND TELL JOHN WHAT THINGS (YOU) HAVE SEEN AND HEARD; HOW THAT THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS (or people with skin diseases-JNT) ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED (up), TO THE POOR THE GOSPEL (or Good News) IS PREACHED.
Lk 7:23. AND BLESSED IS HE, (WHO) SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED IN (or by) (or because of) ME (or keeps from stumbling over Me-NASB) (or blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of Me-NIV).

Mt 11:7. AND AS THEY (John’s disciples) DEPARTED (or were leaving), JESUS BEGAN TO SAY (TO) THE (CROWD) CONCERNING JOHN, WHAT WENT (YOU) OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS (or desert) TO (LOOK AT)? A REED SHAKEN (or swayed) WITH THE WIND?
Mt 11:8. BUT WHAT WENT (YOU) OUT FOR TO SEE? A MAN (DRESSED) IN SOFT (or fine) (CLOTHING)? BEHOLD, THEY THAT WEAR SOFT (or fine) CLOTHING ARE IN KINGS' HOUSES (or palaces).
Mt 11:9. BUT WHAT (or why) (DID) (YOU) (GO OUT) TO SEE? A PROPHET? (YES), I SAY (TO) YOU, AND (he’s much) MORE THAN A PROPHET.
Mt 11:10. FOR THIS IS HE, (the one) OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN, BEHOLD, I (will) SEND MY MESSENGER (AHEAD OF) (YOUR) FACE, WHICH SHALL PREPARE (YOUR) WAY BEFORE (YOU).
Mt 11:11. (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), AMONG THEM THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE (HAS) NOT RISEN A GREATER (or anyone greater) THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser!): NOTWITHSTANDING HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS GREATER THAN HE.
Mt 11:12. AND FROM THE DAYS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser) UNTIL NOW THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (SUFFERS) VIOLENCE (or has been forcefully advancing-NIV), AND THE VIOLENT (or forceful) (men) TAKE IT (or lay hold of it-NIV) BY FORCE (or violent ones are trying to snatch it away-JNT).
Mt 11:13. FOR ALL THE PROPHETS AND THE LAW PROPHESIED UNTIL JOHN.
Mt 11:14. AND IF (YOU) WILL RECEIVE IT, THIS IS ELIJAH, (WHO WAS) TO COME (as predicted).
Mt 11:15. HE THAT HATH EARS (or if you have ears-JNT) TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Lk 7:24. AND WHEN THE MESSENGERS OF JOHN WERE DEPARTED, (JESUS) BEGAN TO SPEAK (TO) THE (CROWD) CONCERNING JOHN, WHAT WENT (YOU) OUT INTO THE WILDERNESS (or desert) FOR TO (LOOK AT)? A REED SHAKEN (or swayed) WITH THE WIND?
Lk 7:25. BUT WHAT WENT (YOU) OUT FOR TO SEE? A MAN CLOTHED IN SOFT (or fine) (CLOTHING)? BEHOLD, THEY WHICH ARE GORGEOUSLY APPARELED (or splendidly clothed, or who wear expensive clothes-NIV), AND LIVE DELICATELY (or in luxury), ARE IN KINGS' COURTS (or royal palaces).
Lk 7:26. BUT WHAT WENT (YOU) OUT FOR TO SEE? A PROPHET? (YES), I SAY (TO) YOU, AND (one who is) MUCH MORE THAN A PROPHET.
Lk 7:27. THIS IS HE, OF WHOM IT IS WRITTEN, BEHOLD, I (will) SEND MY MESSENGER BEFORE (YOUR) FACE (or ahead of You), WHICH SHALL PREPARE (YOUR) WAY BEFORE (YOU).
Lk 7:28. FOR I SAY (TO) YOU, AMONG THOSE THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE IS NOT (or there has not arisen-JNT) A GREATER PROPHET THAN JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser): BUT HE THAT IS LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS GREATER THAN HE.

Lk 7:29. AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HEARD HIM (or Jesus’ Words), AND (even) THE PUBLICANS, (they) JUSTIFIED (or acknowledged) GOD (or acknowledged that God’s way was right-NIV), BEING (or because they had been-NIV) BAPTIZED WITH THE BAPTISM OF JOHN.

Lk 7:30. BUT THE PHARISEES AND LAWYERS (or experts in the Law-NIV) REJECTED THE COUNSEL (or will) OF GOD AGAINST THEMSELVES, BEING NOT BAPTIZED (or immersed) OF HIM (or by John).

Mt 11:16. BUT (TO WHAT) SHALL I (COMPARE) THIS GENERATION (with)? IT IS LIKE UNTO CHILDREN SITTING IN THE MARKETS, AND CALLING (out) (TO) (EACH OTHER),
Mt 11:17. AND SAYING, WE HAVE (PLAYED THE FLUTE (or made happy music-JNT) UNTO YOU, AND (YOU) HAVE NOT DANCED; WE HAVE (MADE SAD MUSIC) (TO) YOU, AND (YOU) (WOULDN’T CRY).
Mt 11:18. FOR JOHN CAME NEITHER EATING NOR DRINKING (or came fasting, not drinking-JNT), AND THEY SAY, HE (HAS) A (DEMON).
Mt 11:19. THE SON OF MAN CAME EATING AND DRINKING (wine), AND THEY SAY, BEHOLD (or Aha!) A MAN GLUTTONOUS (or a glutton), AND A (DRUNKARD), A FRIEND OF (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS. BUT WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED OF HER CHILDREN (or wisdom is vindicated by her deeds-NASB, or wisdom is proved right by her actions-NIV, or the proof of wisdom is in the actions it produces-JNT).

Lk 7:31. AND THE LORD SAID, (TO WHAT) THEN SHALL I LIKEN (or compare, or how shall I describe-JNT) THE MEN OF THIS GENERATION? AND TO WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
Lk 7:32. THEY ARE LIKE UNTO CHILDREN SITTING IN THE MARKETPLACE, AND CALLING ONE TO ANOTHER, AND SAYING, WE HAVE (PLAYED THE FLUTE) (or made happy music) (FOR) YOU, AND (YOU) HAVE NOT DANCED; WE HAVE (MADE SAD MUSIC) TO YOU, AND (YOU) (WOULDN’T CRY).
Lk 7:33. FOR JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME NEITHER EATING BREAD NOR DRINKING WINE; AND (YOU) SAY, HE (HAS) A (DEMON).
Lk 7:34. THE SON OF MAN IS COME EATING AND DRINKING; AND (YOU) SAY, BEHOLD (or Look, or Aha!) A GLUTTONOUS MAN, AND A (DRUNKARD), A FRIEND OF (TAX COLLECTORS) AND SINNERS!
Lk 7:35. BUT WISDOM IS JUSTIFIED OF ALL HER CHILDREN (or the proof of wisdom is in all the kinds of people it produced-JNT, or wisdom is vindicated by all her children-NASB).

Mt 11:20. THEN BEGAN HE TO (DENOUNCE) THE CITIES WHEREIN MOST OF HIS MIGHTY (MIRACLES) WERE DONE, BECAUSE THEY REPENTED NOT (or had not turned from their sins to God-JNT):
Mt 11:21. WOE (TO) (YOU), CHORAZIN! WOE (TO) (YOU), BETHSAIDA! FOR IF THE MIGHTY (MIRACLES), WHICH WERE DONE IN YOU, HAD BEEN DONE IN TYRE AND SIDON, THEY WOULD HAVE REPENTED LONG AGO IN SACKCLOTH AND ASHES (or would long ago have put on sackcloth and ashes as evidence that they had changed their ways-JNT).
Mt 11:22. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, IT SHALL BE MORE (BEARABLE) FOR TYRE AND SIDON AT THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, THAN FOR YOU.
Mt 11:23. AND (YOU), CAPERNAUM, WHICH (ARE) EXALTED (or lifted up) (TO) HEAVEN, (you) (SHALL) BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HELL: FOR IF THE MIGHTY (MIRACLES), WHICH HAVE BEEN DONE IN (YOU), HAD BEEN DONE IN SODOM, IT WOULD HAVE REMAINED (in existence) UNTIL THIS DAY.
Mt 11:24. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT IT SHALL BE MORE (BEARABLE) FOR THE LAND OF SODOM IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, THAN FOR (YOU).

Lk 7:36. AND ONE OF THE PHARISEES DESIRED (or invited) (JESUS) THAT HE WOULD EAT WITH HIM. AND HE WENT INTO THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, AND SAT DOWN TO (EAT) .
Lk 7:37. AND, BEHOLD, (there was) A WOMAN IN THE CITY (or town), (WHO HAD LIVED A SINFUL LIFE-NIV), WHEN SHE (LEARNED) THAT JESUS (WAS EATING) IN THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, (she) BROUGHT AN ALABASTER BOX OF (very expensive) OINTMENT (or perfume, or fragrant oil),
Lk 7:38. AND (she) STOOD AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM WEEPING, AND (she) BEGAN TO WASH (or wet) HIS FEET WITH (her) TEARS, AND (she) DID WIPE THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD, AND KISSED HIS FEET, AND ANOINTED THEM WITH THE (PERFUME).
Lk 7:39. NOW WHEN THE PHARISEE WHICH HAD (INVITED) HIM SAW IT, HE (SAID) WITHIN HIMSELF, SAYING, THIS MAN, IF HE WERE A PROPHET, (He) WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHO AND WHAT (SORT) OF WOMAN THIS IS THAT (IS TOUCHING) HIM: FOR SHE IS A SINNER.
Lk 7:40. AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID (TO) HIM, SIMON, I HAVE (SOMETHING) TO SAY (TO) (YOU). AND HE (SAID), MASTER, SAY ( IT).

Lk 7:41. THERE WAS A CERTAIN (MONEYLENDER) WHICH HAD TWO DEBTORS: THE ONE OWED FIVE HUNDRED PENCE (or denarii), AND THE OTHER FIFTY (or the one owed ten times as much as the other-JNT).
Lk 7:42. AND WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING (with which) TO (REPAY), HE (GRACIOUSLY) (or freely) FORGAVE THEM BOTH (or canceled both their debts-JNT). TELL ME THEREFORE, WHICH OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MOST?
Lk 7:43. SIMON ANSWERED AND SAID, I SUPPOSE THAT HE, TO WHOM HE FORGAVE (the) MOST (or the one who had the bigger debt-NIV). AND HE SAID (TO) HIM, (YOU) (HAVE) (CORRECTLY) JUDGED.
Lk 7:44. AND (then) HE TURNED TO THE WOMAN, AND SAID (TO) SIMON, (SEE) THIS WOMAN? I ENTERED INTO (YOUR) HOUSE, (YOU) (GAVE) ME NO WATER FOR MY FEET: BUT SHE (HAS) WASHED MY FEET WITH (her) TEARS, AND WIPED (or dried) THEM WITH THE HAIRS OF HER HEAD.
Lk 7:45. (YOU) (GAVE) ME NO KISS: BUT THIS WOMAN SINCE THE TIME I CAME IN (HAS) NOT CEASED TO KISS MY FEET.
Lk 7:46. MY HEAD WITH OIL (YOU) (DID) NOT ANOINT: BUT THIS WOMAN (HAS) ANOINTED MY FEET WITH (PERFUME).
Lk 7:47. (FOR THIS REASON) I SAY (TO) (YOU), HER SINS, WHICH ARE MANY, ARE FORGIVEN; FOR SHE LOVED MUCH: BUT TO (SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN FORGIVEN ONLY A LITTLE LOVES ONLY A LITTLE-JNT).
Lk 7:48. AND HE SAID (TO) HER, (YOUR) SINS ARE FORGIVEN.
Lk 7:49. AND (at this) THEY THAT SAT AT (THE TABLE) WITH HIM BEGAN TO SAY WITHIN THEMSELVES, WHO IS THIS (fellow) THAT (FORGIVES) SINS ALSO?
Lk 7:50. AND HE SAID TO THE WOMAN, (YOUR) FAITH (or trust) (HAS) SAVED (YOU); GO IN PEACE.

Lk 8:1. AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTERWARD, THAT (JESUS) WENT THROUGHOUT EVERY CITY AND VILLAGE (or from town to town and village to village-JNT), PREACHING AND (BRINGING) THE GLAD TIDINGS (or Good News) OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: AND THE TWELVE WERE WITH HIM,
Lk 8:2. AND (also) CERTAIN WOMEN, WHICH HAD BEEN (CURED) OF EVIL SPIRITS AND (ILLNESSES), MARY (who was) CALLED MAGDALENE, OUT OF WHOM WENT SEVEN (DEMONS),
Lk 8:3. AND JOANNA THE WIFE OF CHUZA (MANAGER OF HEROD’S HOUSEHOLD-NIV), AND SUSANNA, AND MANY OTHERS, WHICH (WERE HELPING) (TO) (support) HIM (out) OF THEIR (own) (WEALTH).

Mk 3:20. AND THE MULTITUDE (CAME) TOGETHER AGAIN (to such an extent-NASB), SO THAT THEY COULD NOT SO MUCH AS EAT BREAD (or eat a meal).
Mk 3:21. AND WHEN HIS FRIENDS (or own people, or family) HEARD OF IT, THEY WENT OUT TO (TAKE CUSTODY OF) HIM: FOR THEY SAID, HE IS BESIDE HIMSELF (or is out of His mind-NKJV) (or He has lost His senses-NASB).

Mt 12:22. THEN WAS BROUGHT (TO) HIM ONE POSSESSED (or controlled) WITH A (DEMON), BLIND, AND DUMB (or mute): AND HE HEALED HIM, INSOMUCH THAT THE BLIND AND DUMB (man) BOTH (COULD TALK) AND (SEE).
Mt 12:23. AND ALL THE (MULTITUDES) WERE AMAZED (or astonished), AND SAID, IS NOT THIS (or could this be) THE SON OF DAVID?
Mt 12:24. BUT WHEN THE PHARISEES HEARD IT, THEY SAID, THIS (MAN) (DOES) NOT CAST OUT DEVILS, BUT BY BEELZEBUB THE PRINCE (or ruler) OF THE (DEMONS).
Mt 12:25. AND JESUS KNEW THEIR THOUGHTS, AND SAID (TO) THEM, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION (or laid waste, or ruined); AND EVERY CITY OR HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF SHALL NOT (SURVIVE):
Mt 12:26. AND IF SATAN CAST OUT SATAN, HE IS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF; HOW SHALL THEN HIS KINGDOM (SURVIVE)?
Mt 12:27. AND IF I BY BEELZEBUB CAST OUT (DEMONS), BY WHOM DO YOUR CHILDREN (or sons, or people) (DRIVE) THEM OUT? (CONSEQUENTLY) THEY SHALL BE YOUR JUDGES.
Mt 12:28. BUT IF I CAST OUT (DEMONS) BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEN (surely) THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME (UPON) YOU. (Mk 3:22-26, Lk 11:14-20, 12:10)

Mk 3:22. AND THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) WHICH CAME DOWN FROM JERUSALEM SAID, HE (IS POSSESSED BY) BEELZEBUB, AND BY THE PRINCE (or ruler) OF THE (DEMONS) (CASTS) HE OUT (DEMONS).
Mk 3:23. AND (so) HE CALLED THEM (TO) HIM (self), AND SAID (TO) THEM IN PARABLES, HOW CAN SATAN (DRIVE) OUT SATAN?
Mk 3:24. AND IF A KINGDOM BE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, THAT KINGDOM CANNOT (SURVIVE).
Mk 3:25. AND IF A (HOUSEHOLD) BE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF, THAT HOUSE (WILL NOT BE ABLE TO-NASB) (SURVIVE).
Mk 3:26. AND IF SATAN RISE UP (or has rebelled) AGAINST HIMSELF (or opposes himself), AND BE DIVIDED, HE CANNOT (SURVIVE), BUT (HAS) AN END (or he is finished) (and that’s the end of him-JNT).

Lk 11:14. AND (JESUS) WAS (DRIVING) OUT A (DEMON), AND IT WAS DUMB (or mute). AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE (DEMON) WAS GONE OUT, THE DUMB (man) (SPOKE); AND THE (CROWD) (WERE ASTOUNDED).
Lk 11:15. BUT SOME OF THEM SAID, HE (CASTS) OUT (DEMONS) THROUGH BEELZEBUB THE CHIEF (or ruler) OF THE (DEMONS).
Lk 11:16. AND OTHERS, TEMPTING (or testing, or trying to trap) HIM, (WERE DEMANDING) OF HIM A SIGN FROM HEAVEN.
Lk 11:17. BUT HE, KNOWING THEIR THOUGHTS, SAID (TO) THEM, EVERY KINGDOM DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF IS BROUGHT TO DESOLATION (or is laid waste, or ruined); AND A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST A HOUSE (or itself) (FALLS) (with one house collapsing on another-JNT).
Lk 11:18. IF SATAN (or the Adversary) ALSO BE DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF, HOW SHALL HIS KINGDOM (SURVIVE)? BECAUSE (YOU) SAY THAT I CAST OUT (DEMONS) THROUGH BEELZEBUB.
Lk 11:19. AND IF I BY BEELZEBUB CAST OUT (DEMONS), BY WHOM DO YOUR SONS (or your people, or your followers) CAST THEM OUT? THEREFORE SHALL THEY BE YOUR JUDGES.
Lk 11:20. BUT IF I WITH THE FINGER OF GOD CAST OUT (DEMONS), NO DOUBT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS COME UPON YOU. (Ref Mt 12:22-28, Mk 3:22-26, Lk 12:10)

Mt 12:29. OR ELSE HOW CAN ONE ENTER (or break) INTO A STRONG MAN'S HOUSE, AND SPOIL (or carry off) HIS GOODS (or property, or possessions), EXCEPT HE FIRST BIND (or ties up) THE STRONG MAN? AND THEN (after) HE WILL SPOIL (or plunder, or rob, or ransack) HIS HOUSE.

Mk 3:27. (Furthermore) NO MAN CAN ENTER (or break) INTO A STRONG MAN'S HOUSE, AND SPOIL (or plunder, or carry off) HIS GOODS (or property, or possessions), EXCEPT HE WILL FIRST BIND (or tie up) THE STRONG MAN; AND THEN HE WILL SPOIL (or ransack, or rob) HIS HOUSE. (Mt 12:22-28, Lk 11:14-20, 12:10)

Lk 11:21. WHEN A STRONG MAN (fully) ARMED (GUARDS) HIS (own) PALACE (or house), HIS (POSSESSIONS) ARE IN PEACE (or are undisturbed, or safe, or secure):
Lk 11:22. BUT WHEN (SOMEONE) STRONGER THAN HE SHALL COME UPON (or attacks) HIM, AND OVERCOME (or overpowers, or defeats) HIM, HE (TAKES) FROM HIM ALL HIS ARMOR (and weaponry) WHEREIN HE TRUSTED, AND (DIVIDES) (up) HIS SPOILS (or plunder).

Mt 12:30. HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME; AND HE THAT (GATHERS) NOT WITH ME SCATTERETH ABROAD (or are scattering).

Lk 11:23. HE THAT IS NOT WITH ME IS AGAINST ME: AND HE (or those) THAT (GATHER) NOT WITH ME (SCATTERS) (or are scattering). (Ref Mt 16:19 Part 2, Mt 18:18-20)

Mt 12:31. WHEREFORE I SAY (TO) YOU, ALL MANNER OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY SHALL BE FORGIVEN UNTO MEN: BUT THE BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN UNTO MEN.
Mt 12:32. AND WHOSOEVER (SPEAKS) A WORD AGAINST THE SON OF MAN, IT SHALL BE FORGIVEN HIM (or one can say something against the Son of Man and be forgiven-JNT): BUT WHOSOEVER (SPEAKS) AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST, IT SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN HIM, NEITHER IN THIS WORLD (or age), NEITHER IN THE WORLD (or age) TO COME.

Mk 3:28. (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), ALL SINS SHALL BE FORGIVEN UNTO THE SONS OF MEN, AND (whatever) BLASPHEMIES (THEY MAY UTTER):
Mk 3:29. BUT HE THAT SHALL BLASPHEME AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST (or Spirit) (WILL NEVER BE FORGIVEN), BUT IS IN DANGER OF ETERNAL DAMNATION (or is guilty of an eternal sin-NASB):
Mk 3:30. BECAUSE THEY SAID, HE (HAS) AN UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT (in Him).

Lk 11:24. WHEN THE UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF A MAN, HE (PASSES) (or travels) THROUGH DRY (or waterless) PLACES (or country), SEEKING REST; AND FINDING NONE, HE (SAYS), I WILL RETURN (TO) MY HOUSE (from) (WHERE) I (LEFT).
Lk 11:25. AND WHEN HE (COMES), HE (FINDS) (THE HOUSE) SWEPT (clean) AND (PUT IN ORDER).
Lk 11:26. THEN (HE GOES), AND (TAKES) (WITH) HIM SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED (or evil) THAN HIMSELF; AND THEY ENTER IN, AND (LIVE) THERE: AND THE LAST STATE OF THAT MAN (BECOMES) WORSE (off) THAN (HE WAS BEFORE). (Ref Mt 12:43-45)

Mt 12:33. EITHER MAKE THE TREE GOOD, AND HIS FRUIT GOOD; OR ELSE MAKE THE TREE CORRUPT, AND HIS FRUIT CORRUPT: FOR THE TREE IS KNOWN BY HIS FRUIT (or if you make a tree good, its fruit will be good; and if you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad; for a tree is known by its fruit-JNT).
Mt 12:34. O GENERATION (or brood) OF (SNAKES), HOW CAN (YOU), (who) BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS (or say anything good)? FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE (or overflow) (or that which fills) THE HEART THE MOUTH (SPEAKS).
Mt 12:35. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART (or good stored up in him-NIV) (BRINGS) FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE (or evil stored up in him-NIV) (BRINGS) FORTH EVIL THINGS.
Mt 12:36. BUT I SAY (TO) YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE (or careless) WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE (or render) ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
Mt 12:37. FOR BY (YOUR) (own) WORDS (YOU) (SHALL) BE JUSTIFIED (or acquitted), AND BY (YOUR) WORDS (YOU) (WILL) BE CONDEMNED.

Mt 12:38. THEN (SOME) OF THE SCRIBES AND OF THE PHARISEES (or teachers of the law-NIV) ANSWERED (Him), SAYING, MASTER (or teacher, or Rabbi), WE (WANT TO) SEE A (miraculous) SIGN FROM (YOU).
Mt 12:39. BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, AN EVIL (or wicked) AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION (SEEKS) (or asks, or craves) AFTER A (miraculous) SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN BE GIVEN TO IT, (EXCEPT) THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAH:
Mt 12:40. FOR AS JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE WHALE'S BELLY (or sea monster, or huge, or great fish); SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART (or depths) OF THE EARTH. (Ref Mt 16:4, Lk 11:21-23)

Mt 12:41. THE MEN OF NINEVEH SHALL (STAND UP) IN JUDGMENT WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: BECAUSE THEY REPENTED (or turned from their sins to God-JNT) AT THE PREACHING OF JONAH; AND, (INDEED), (ONE) GREATER THAN JONAH IS HERE.
Mt 12:42. THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH SHALL (STAND) UP IN THE JUDGMENT WITH THIS GENERATION, AND SHALL CONDEMN IT: (BECAUSE) SHE CAME FROM THE UTTERMOST PARTS (or ends) OF THE EARTH TO (LISTEN TO) THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON; AND, (NOW), (ONE) GREATER THAN SOLOMON IS HERE. (Ref Lk 11:31-32)

Mt 12:43. WHEN THE UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT IS GONE OUT OF A MAN (or person), HE (GOES) (or passes, or travels) THROUGH DRY (or waterless, or arid) PLACES, SEEKING REST, AND (FINDS) NONE.
Mt 12:44. THEN HE (SAYS) (to itself), I WILL RETURN INTO MY HOUSE FROM (WHICH) I (LEFT); AND WHEN HE IS COME (or arrives), HE (FINDS) IT (the house) EMPTY (or unoccupied), SWEPT (clean), AND (PUT IN ORDER).
Mt 12:45. THEN (GOES) HE, AND (TAKES) WITH HIMSELF SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN HIMSELF, AND THEY (GO) IN AND (LIVE) THERE: AND THE (FINAL CONDITION) OF THAT MAN IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST (or before). EVEN SO (THIS IS HOW IT WILL-JNT) BE ALSO UNTO THIS WICKED (or evil) GENERATION. (Ref Lk 11:24-26)

Mt 12:46. WHILE HE YET TALKED TO THE (CROWD), BEHOLD, HIS MOTHER AND HIS (BROTHERS) (APPEARED) (OUTSIDE), (ASKING) TO SPEAK WITH HIM.
Mt 12:47. THEN (SOMEONE) SAID (TO) HIM, BEHOLD, (YOUR) MOTHER AND (YOUR) (BROTHERS) (ARE STANDING OUTSIDE), (ASKING) TO SPEAK WITH (YOU).
Mt 12:48. BUT HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) HIM THAT TOLD HIM, WHO IS MY MOTHER? AND WHO ARE MY (BROTHERS)?
Mt 12:49. AND HE STRETCHED FORTH HIS HAND TOWARD HIS DISCIPLES, AND SAID, BEHOLD (here is) MY MOTHER AND MY (BROTHERS)!
Mt 12:50. FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN (or what My Father in heaven wants-JNT), (THAT PERSON) IS MY BROTHER, AND SISTER, AND MOTHER.

Mk 3:31. THERE CAME THEN HIS (BROTHERS) AND HIS MOTHER, AND, STANDING (OUTSIDE), (they) SENT (someone, or a message) (TO) HIM, CALLING HIM.
Mk 3:32. AND THE MULTITUDE SAT (AROUND) HIM, AND THEY SAID (TO) HIM, (LOOK), (YOUR) MOTHER AND (YOUR) (BROTHERS) (ARE OUTSIDE) (LOOKING) FOR (YOU).
Mk 3:33. AND HE ANSWERED THEM, SAYING, WHO IS MY MOTHER, OR MY (BROTHERS)?
Mk 3:34. AND HE LOOKED (AROUND) ON THEM WHICH SAT ABOUT HIM (in a circle), AND SAID, (SEE) (here are) MY MOTHER AND MY (BROTHERS)!
Mk 3:35. FOR (WHOEVER) SHALL DO THE WILL OF GOD (or does what God wants-JNT), THE SAME IS MY BROTHER, AND MY SISTER, AND MOTHER.

Lk 8:19. THEN CAME TO HIM HIS MOTHER AND HIS (BROTHERS), AND COULD NOT (GET NEAR) HIM (BECAUSE) (of) THE (CROWD).
Lk 8:20. AND IT WAS TOLD (or reported to) HIM BY (SOMEONE) WHICH SAID, (YOUR) MOTHER AND (YOUR) (BROTHERS) STAND (OUTSIDE), DESIRING TO SEE (YOU).
Lk 8:21. AND HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, MY MOTHER AND MY (BROTHERS) ARE THESE WHICH HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, AND DO IT (or put it into practice-NIV, or act on it).

Mt 13:1. THE SAME DAY WENT JESUS OUT OF THE HOUSE, AND SAT (down) BY THE (LAKE).
Mt 13:2. AND (LARGE CROWDS) WERE GATHERED TOGETHER (TO) HIM, SO THAT HE (GOT) INTO A (BOAT), AND SAT (down) (in it); AND (ALL THE PEOPLE) STOOD ON THE SHORE (or beach).
Mt 13:3. AND HE (SPOKE) MANY THINGS (TO) THEM IN PARABLES, SAYING, BEHOLD, A SOWER (or farmer) WENT FORTH TO SOW (his seed);
Mt 13:4. AND WHEN HE (WAS SCATTERING THE SEED), SOME SEEDS FELL BY THE WAY SIDE (or road, or along the path), AND THE (BIRDS) CAME AND (ATE) THEM UP:
Mt 13:5. SOME (other seed) FELL UPON STONY (or rocky) PLACES, WHERE (THERE WAS NOT) MUCH (SOIL): AND (IMMEDIATELY) THEY SPRUNG UP, BECAUSE THEY HAD NO (DEPTH) OF (SOIL) (or because the soil was shallow-NIV):
Mt 13:6. AND WHEN THE SUN (HAD RISEN) UP, (THE YOUNG PLANTS) WERE SCORCHED; AND BECAUSE (THEIR ROOTS WERE NOT DEEP-JNT), THEY WITHERED AWAY (or dried up).
Mt 13:7. AND SOME (other seed) FELL AMONG THORNS; AND THE THORNS (GREW) UP, AND CHOKED (the plants):
Mt 13:8. BUT OTHER FELL INTO GOOD GROUND (or good, or rich soil), AND BROUGHT FORTH FRUIT (or grain, or produced a crop), SOME AN HUNDREDFOLD, SOME SIXTYFOLD, SOME THIRTYFOLD (or thirty times as much as had been sown-JNT).
Mt 13:9. (He or those) WHO (HAVE) EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Mk 4:1. AND (JESUS) BEGAN AGAIN TO TEACH BY THE (LAKE) SIDE: AND THERE WAS GATHERED (TO) HIM A GREAT MULTITUDE, SO THAT HE ENTERED INTO A (BOAT), AND SAT (down) IN (it on) THE (LAKE); AND THE (PEOPLE WERE) (FACING) THE SEA (shore) ON THE LAND (or at the water’s edge-NIV).
Mk 4:2. AND HE TAUGHT THEM MANY THINGS BY PARABLES, AND SAID (TO) THEM IN HIS DOCTRINE (or teaching),
Mk 4:3. HEARKEN (or Listen to this!); BEHOLD, THERE WENT OUT A SOWER (or farmer) TO SOW (his seed):
Mk 4:4. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE (SCATTERED THE SEED), SOME (seed) FELL BY THE WAY SIDE (or beside the road, or along the path), AND THE (BIRDS) OF THE AIR CAME AND (ATE) IT UP.
Mk 4:5. AND SOME (other seed) FELL ON STONY (or rocky) GROUND, WHERE IT HAD NOT MUCH (SOIL); AND IMMEDIATELY (or quickly) IT SPRANG (or sprouted) UP, BECAUSE (THE SOIL WAS SHALLOW):
Mk 4:6. BUT (AFTER) THE SUN WAS (risen) UP, (THE YOUNG PLANTS WERE) SCORCHED; AND BECAUSE IT HAD NO (deep) ROOT, IT WITHERED AWAY (or dried up).
Mk 4:7. AND SOME (other seed) FELL AMONG THORNS, AND THE THORNS GREW UP, AND CHOKED (THE PLANTS), AND (THEY) YIELDED NO FRUIT (or crop, or grain).
Mk 4:8. AND OTHER (seeds) FELL ON GOOD GROUND (or rich soil), AND DID YIELD (or produce) FRUIT THAT SPRANG (or grew) UP AND INCREASED (or multiplying); AND BROUGHT FORTH (or yielded a crop) SOME THIRTY, AND SOME SIXTY, AND (even) SOME AN HUNDRED (times).
Mk 4:9. AND (JESUS) SAID (TO) THEM, HE THAT (HAS) EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Lk 8:4. AND WHEN (A LARGE CROWD) WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, AND WERE COME TO (JESUS) OUT OF EVERY CITY (or various cities), HE (SPOKE) BY A PARABLE:
Lk 8:5. A SOWER (or farmer) WENT OUT TO SOW HIS SEED: AND AS HE (WAS SCATTERING THE SEED), SOME FELL BY THE WAY SIDE (or along the path, or road); AND IT WAS TRODDEN DOWN (or was stepped on), AND THE (BIRDS) OF THE AIR (flying around) (ATE) IT (up).
Lk 8:6. AND SOME (seed) FELL (ON ROCKY SOIL); AND AS SOON AS IT WAS (SPROUTED) UP, (THE PLANTS) WITHERED AWAY (or dried up), BECAUSE (THEY) LACKED MOISTURE.
Lk 8:7. AND SOME (other seed) FELL AMONG THORNS; AND THE THORNS (GREW) UP WITH IT, AND CHOKED (THE PLANTS) (out).
Lk 8:8. AND OTHER (seed) FELL ON GOOD GROUND (or rich soil), AND (it) (GREW) UP, AND (PRODUCED) FRUIT (or a crop) AN HUNDREDFOLD (or a hundred times more than was sown-NIV). AND WHEN HE HAD SAID THESE THINGS, HE (CALLED OUT), HE THAT (HAS) EARS TO HEAR (with), LET HIM HEAR.

Mt 13:10. AND THE DISCIPLES CAME, AND SAID (TO) HIM, WHY (SPEAK) (YOU) (TO) (THE PEOPLE) IN PARABLES?
Mt 13:11. HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, BECAUSE IT IS (GRANTED) (TO) YOU TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES (or secrets) OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, BUT TO THEM IT IS NOT (GRANTED).
Mt 13:12. FOR WHOSOEVER (HAS) (something), TO HIM SHALL (more) BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE MORE ABUNDANCE: BUT WHOSOEVER (HAS) (NOTHING), FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT HE (HAS).
Mt 13:13. THEREFORE (this is why) (I SPEAK) TO THEM IN PARABLES: BECAUSE THEY SEEING (THEY DO NOT SEE); AND (while) HEARING THEY (DO NOT HEAR), NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND (or they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding-JNT).
Mt 13:14. AND IN THEM (or in their case) IS FULFILLED THE PROPHECY OF (ISAIAH), WHICH (SAYS), BY HEARING (YOU) SHALL HEAR (or keep on hearing), AND SHALL (NEVER) UNDERSTAND; AND SEEING (YOU) SHALL SEE (or keep on seeing), AND SHALL (NEVER) PERCEIVE:
Mt 13:15. FOR THIS PEOPLE'S HEART IS WAXED GROSS (or become dull, or calloused), AND THEIR EARS ARE DULL OF HEARING (or they barely hear), AND THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED; (OTHERWISE) AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND SHOULD BE CONVERTED (or turn, or return), AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.
Mt 13:16. BUT BLESSED ARE YOUR EYES, FOR THEY SEE: AND YOUR EARS, FOR THEY HEAR.
Mt 13:17. FOR (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), THAT MANY PROPHETS AND RIGHTEOUS MEN HAVE DESIRED (or longed) TO SEE THOSE THINGS WHICH (YOU) SEE, AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM; AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS WHICH (YOU) HEAR, AND (DID NOT HEAR) THEM.

Mk 4:10. AND WHEN HE WAS ALONE, (HIS FOLLOWERS) THAT WERE ABOUT HIM WITH THE TWELVE ASKED OF HIM THE PARABLE.
Mk 4:11. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (TO) YOU IT IS GIVEN TO KNOW THE MYSTERY (or secret) OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: BUT (TO) THEM THAT ARE (OUTSIDE), ALL THESE THINGS ARE DONE (OR SAID) IN PARABLES:
Mk 4:12. THAT (while) SEEING (or looking) THEY MAY SEE, AND (NEVER) PERCEIVE; AND (while) HEARING (or listening) THEY MAY HEAR, AND (NEVER) UNDERSTAND; LEST (otherwise) AT ANY TIME THEY SHOULD BE CONVERTED (or turn), AND THEIR SINS SHOULD BE FORGIVEN THEM.
Mk 4:13. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND) THIS PARABLE? AND HOW THEN WILL (YOU) (UNDERSTAND) ALL (or any) PARABLES?

Lk 8:9. AND HIS DISCIPLES ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHAT MIGHT THIS PARABLE (MEAN)?
Lk 8:10. AND HE SAID, (TO) YOU IT IS (GRANTED) TO KNOW THE MYSTERIES (or secrets) OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: BUT TO (THE REST) (I speak) IN PARABLES; (so) THAT SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND (or so that they may look but not see, and listen but not understand-JNT).

Mt 13:18. (So) (LISTEN) THEREFORE (what) THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER (means).
Mt 13:19. WHEN ANY ONE (HEARS) THE WORD (or message) OF THE KINGDOM, AND (DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT), THEN (COMES) THE WICKED (or evil) ONE, AND (SNATCHES) AWAY THAT WHICH WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART. THIS IS HE (the one) WHICH RECEIVED SEED BY THE WAY SIDE (or beside the road, or path).
Mt 13:20. BUT (THE ONE) THAT RECEIVED THE SEED INTO STONY (or rocky) PLACES, THE SAME IS HE THAT (HEARS) THE WORD, AND (IMMEDIATELY) WITH JOY (RECEIVES) IT;
Mt 13:21. YET (HAS) HE NOT ROOT IN HIMSELF, BUT (ENDURES) (or stays on) FOR A WHILE (or is only temporary, or lasts only a short time-NIV): FOR WHEN TRIBULATION (or affliction, or trouble) OR PERSECUTION (COMES) BECAUSE OF THE WORD (or message), BY AND BY (or immediately, or quickly) HE IS OFFENDED (or stumbles, or falls away).
Mt 13:22. HE (or this one) ALSO THAT RECEIVED (the) SEED AMONG THE THORNS (this) IS (THE MAN) THAT (HEARS) THE WORD; AND THE CARE (or worries) OF THIS WORLD (or life), AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF (WEALTH), CHOKE THE WORD, AND HE (BECOMES) UNFRUITFUL (or now the seed sown among thorns stands for someone who hears the message, but it is choked by the worries of the world and the deceitful glamor of wealth, so that it produces nothing-JNT).
Mt 13:23. BUT HE THAT RECEIVED SEED INTO THE GOOD (or rich) (SOIL) IS HE (the man) THAT (HEARS) THE WORD (or message), AND (UNDERSTANDS) IT; WHICH ALSO (BEARS) FRUIT (or produces a crop), AND (BRINGS) FORTH, SOME AN HUNDREDFOLD, SOME SIXTY, SOME THIRTY (times what was sown-NIV).

Mk 4:14. THE SOWER (or farmer) (SOWS) THE WORD (or message).
Mk 4:15. AND THESE ARE (THE PEOPLE) BY THE WAY SIDE (or beside the road), WHERE THE WORD IS SOWN; BUT (AS SOON AS) THEY (HEAR IT), SATAN (or the Adversary) (COMES) IMMEDIATELY, AND (TAKES) AWAY THE WORD (or message) THAT WAS SOWN IN THEIR HEARTS.
Mk 4:16. AND THESE ARE THEY LIKEWISE WHICH ARE SOWN ON STONY (or rocky) GROUND (or places); WHO, WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD THE WORD (or message), (AT ONCE) RECEIVE IT WITH GLADNESS (or joy);
Mk 4:17. (BUT) (these) HAVE NO (firm) ROOT IN THEMSELVES, AND SO ENDURE (or last, or hold on) BUT FOR A (short) TIME: AFTERWARD, (AS SOON AS) AFFLICTION (or trouble) OR PERSECUTION (COMES) (BECAUSE OF) THE WORD'S SAKE (or message), IMMEDIATELY (or quickly) THEY ARE OFFENDED (or fall away, or stumble).
Mk 4:18. AND THESE (others) ARE THEY WHICH ARE SOWN AMONG THORNS; (these are the ones-NASB) SUCH AS HEAR THE WORD (or message),
Mk 4:19. AND THE CARES (or worries) OF THIS WORLD (or life), AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES (or deceitful glamor of wealth-JNT), AND THE (DESIRES) OF OTHER THINGS ENTERING (or push) IN (and), CHOKE THE WORD (or message), AND IT (BECOMES) UNFRUITFUL (it produces nothing).
Mk 4:20. AND THESE (others) ARE THEY (ON WHOM SEED WAS) SOWN ON GOOD GROUND (or rich soil); SUCH AS HEAR THE WORD (or message), AND RECEIVE IT, AND BRING FORTH (or bear, or produce) FRUIT, SOME THIRTYFOLD, SOME SIXTY, AND SOME (even) AN HUNDRED (times what was sown-NIV).

Lk 8:11. NOW THE (meaning of the) PARABLE IS THIS: THE SEED IS THE WORD OF GOD (or God’s message).
Lk 8:12. THOSE BY THE WAY SIDE (or along the path, or beside the road) ARE THEY THAT HEAR; THEN (COMES) THE DEVIL (or Adversary), AND (TAKES) AWAY THE WORD (or message) OUT OF THEIR HEARTS, (SO THAT) THEY (MAY NOT) BELIEVE AND BE SAVED (or in order to keep them from being saved by trusting it-JNT).
Lk 8:13. (and) THEY ON THE ROCK (or rocky soil) ARE (THE ONES), WHICH, WHEN THEY HEAR (it), RECEIVE THE WORD WITH JOY; AND THESE HAVE NO (firm) ROOT, WHICH FOR A WHILE BELIEVE (or trust), AND IN TIME OF TEMPTATION (or testing) FALL AWAY.
Lk 8:14. AND THAT (seed) WHICH FELL AMONG THORNS ARE THEY, WHICH, WHEN THEY HAVE HEARD, GO FORTH (or go along) (on their way), AND ARE CHOKED WITH CARES (or life’s worries) AND WEALTH AND PLEASURES (or gratifications) OF THIS LIFE (crowd in), AND BRING NO FRUIT TO PERFECTION (or maturity) (or their fruit never matures-JNT).
Lk 8:15. BUT THAT (the seed) ON THE GOOD GROUND (or rich soil) ARE THEY, WHICH IN AN HONEST (or receptive) AND GOOD HEART, HAVING HEARD THE WORD, KEEP IT (or hold it fast, or retain it), AND BRING FORTH FRUIT WITH PATIENCE (or perseverance) (or by persevering produce a crop-NIV, or bring forth a harvest-JNT).

Mk 4:21. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, IS A CANDLE (or lamp) BROUGHT TO BE PUT UNDER A BUSHEL (or bowl), OR UNDER A BED? AND NOT TO BE SET ON A (LAMPSTAND)? (Don’t you put it on its stand?-NIV). (Ref Mt 5:15, Lk 8:16, 11:33)
Mk 4:22. FOR (indeed) THERE IS NOTHING HID, WHICH SHALL NOT BE (REVEALED); NEITHER WAS ANY THING KEPT SECRET (or covered up), BUT THAT IT SHOULD COME ABROAD (or out into the open-JNT).
Mk 4:23. IF ANY MAN HAVE EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.

(Part 5 of 14)

Lk 8:16. NO MAN, WHEN HE (HAS) (LIT) A CANDLE, (COVERS) IT WITH A VESSEL (or bowl, or hides it in a jar-NIV), OR (PUTS) IT UNDER A BED; BUT (SETS) IT ON A (LAMPSTAND), (so) THAT THEY WHICH ENTER IN MAY SEE THE LIGHT. (Ref Mt 5:15, Mk 4:21, 11:33)
Lk 8:17. FOR NOTHING IS SECRET, THAT SHALL NOT BE (REVEALED) (or disclosed); NEITHER ANY THING HID (or is secret, or concealed), THAT SHALL NOT BE KNOWN (or disclosed) AND COME ABROAD (or be brought out into the open-NIV, or come to light).

Mk 4:24. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, TAKE HEED (or consider carefully) WHAT (YOU) (LISTEN TO): WITH WHAT MEASURE (or standard) (YOU) (USE), IT SHALL BE MEASURED TO YOU (or the measure with which you measure out will be used to measure you-JNT): AND (TO) YOU THAT HEAR SHALL MORE BE GIVEN.
Mk 4:25. FOR HE THAT (HAS) (something), TO HIM SHALL BE GIVEN: AND HE THAT (HAS) (NOTHING), FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN (away) EVEN THAT WHICH HE (HAS).

Lk 8:18. (CONSIDED) (or pay attention) THEREFORE HOW (YOU) (LISTEN): FOR (WHOEVER) (HAS) (something), TO HIM SHALL (more) BE GIVEN; AND (WHOEVER) (HAS NOTHING), FROM HIM SHALL BE TAKEN EVEN THAT WHICH HE (SEEMS) TO HAVE (or thinks he has).

Mk 4:26. AND HE SAID, SO IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD (or this is what the kingdom of God is like-NIV), AS IF A MAN SHOULD CAST (or scatter) SEED INTO THE GROUND;
Mk 4:27. AND SHOULD SLEEP, (BY) NIGHT (AND RISE BY) DAY AND (meanwhile) THE SEED SHOULD (SPROUT) AND GROW UP, HE (KNOWS) NOT HOW.
Mk 4:28. FOR THE (SOIL) (PRODUCES) FRUIT (or crops) (ALL BY ITSELF); FIRST THE BLADE (or stalk), THEN THE EAR (or head), AFTER THAT THE FULL CORN IN THE EAR (or mature grain in the head-NASB).

Mt 13:24. ANOTHER PARABLE PUT HE FORTH (TO) THEM, SAYING, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS (LIKE) (or compared) (TO) A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD:
Mt 13:25. BUT WHILE (EVERYONE) SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES (or weeds) AMONG THE WHEAT, AND (then) WENT HIS WAY.
Mt 13:26. BUT WHEN THE BLADE (or wheat, or grain) WAS (SPROUTED) AND BROUGHT FORTH FRUIT (or grain, or heads, or a crop) (or when the wheat sprouted and formed heads of grain-JNT), THEN APPEARED THE TARES (or weeds) ALSO (or the tares became evident-NASB).
Mt 13:27. SO THE SERVANTS (or slaves) OF THE (LANDOWNER) CAME AND SAID (TO) HIM, SIR, (DID) NOT (YOU) SOW GOOD SEED IN (YOUR) FIELD? FROM (WHERE) (DID THE WEEDS COME FROM-NIV)?
Mt 13:28. HE SAID (TO) THEM, AN ENEMY (HAS) DONE THIS. THE SERVANTS SAID (TO) HIM, (DO YOU WANT) THEN THAT WE GO AND (PULL) THEM UP?
Mt 13:29. BUT HE SAID, (NO); (BECAUSE) WHILE (YOU) (ARE PULLING) UP THE TARES (or weeds), (YOU) ROOT UP ALSO (some of) THE WHEAT WITH THEM.
Mt 13:30. LET BOTH GROW TOGETHER UNTIL THE HARVEST: AND IN THE TIME OF HARVEST I WILL SAY TO THE (HARVESTERS), (FIRST GATHER TOGETHER) THE TARES (or weeds), AND (TIE) THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM (up): BUT (then) GATHER THE WHEAT (and bring it) INTO MY BARN.

Mt 13:31. ANOTHER PARABLE PUT HE FORTH (TO) THEM, SAYING, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE TO A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, WHICH A MAN TOOK, AND SOWED (or planted) IN HIS FIELD:
Mt 13:32. WHICH INDEED (this) IS THE LEAST (or smaller) OF ALL SEEDS: BUT WHEN IT IS (full) GROWN, IT IS THE GREATEST (or larger) AMONG (the) HERBS (or garden plants), AND (BECOMES) A TREE, SO THAT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR (flying about) COME AND LODGE (or nest, or perch) IN THE BRANCHES THEREOF. (Ref Mk 4:30-32, Lk 13:18-19)

Mk 4:30. AND HE SAID, (WHAT SHALL WE SAY) (THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS LIKE-NIV)? OR WITH WHAT COMPARISON (or parable, or illustration) SHALL WE (DESCRIBE) IT?
Mk 4:31. IT IS LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, WHICH, WHEN IT IS SOWN IN THE (SOIL), IS (SMALLER) THAN ALL THE SEEDS THAT BE IN THE EARTH (or soil, or field):
Mk 4:32. BUT WHEN IT IS SOWN (or planted), IT (GROWS) UP, AND (BECOMES) (LARGER) THAN ALL HERBS (or garden plants), AND (PRODUCES) (LARGE) BRANCHES; SO THAT THE (BIRDS) OF THE AIR MAY LODGE (or build nest) UNDER THE (SHADE) OF IT. (Ref Mt 13:31-32, Lk 13:18,19)

Lk 13:18. THEN SAID (JESUS), UNTO WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIKE? AND (TO WHAT) SHALL I (COMPARE) IT?
Lk 13:19. IT IS LIKE A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED, WHICH A MAN TOOK, AND (THREW) (or planted) (IN) HIS (own) GARDEN; AND IT GREW, AND (BECAME) A GREAT TREE; AND THE (BIRDS) OF THE AIR (NESTED) IN THE BRANCHES OF IT. (Ref Mk 4:30-32, Mt 13:31-32)

Mt 13:33. ANOTHER PARABLE (SPOKE) HE (TO) THEM; THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO LEAVEN (or yeast), WHICH A WOMAN TOOK, AND HID (or mixed) IN THREE MEASURES (or pecks) OF MEAL (or a bushel of flour-JNT), (UNTIL) THE WHOLE (or all) WAS LEAVENED (or until it worked all through the dough-NIV) (or then waited until the whole batch of dough rose-JNT). (Ref Lk 13:20-21)

Lk 13:20. AND AGAIN HE SAID, (TO WHAT) SHALL I (COMPARE) THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
Lk 13:21. IT IS LIKE LEAVEN (or yeast), WHICH A WOMAN TOOK AND HID (or mixed) IN THREE MEASURES (or pecks) (or a bushel) OF (FLOUR), (UNTIL) (IT) WAS (all) LEAVENED (through) (or then waited until the whole batch of dough rose-JNT). (Ref Mt 13:33)

Mt 13:34. ALL THESE THINGS (SPOKE) JESUS (TO) THE MULTITUDE IN PARABLES; AND WITHOUT A PARABLE SPAKE HE NOT (TO) THEM (or He did not say anything to them without using a parable-NIV):
Mt 13:35. THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED (or so was fulfilled) WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET, SAYING, I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES; I WILL UTTER THINGS WHICH HAVE BEEN KEPT SECRET (or hidden) FROM THE FOUNDATION (or creation) OF THE WORLD (or universe).

Mk 4:33 AND WITH MANY SUCH PARABLES (SPOKE) HE THE WORD (TO) THEM, AS THEY WERE ABLE TO HEAR IT (or to the extent that they were capable of hearing it-JNT).
Mk 4:34. BUT WITHOUT A PARABLE SPAKE HE NOT (TO) THEM (or He did not say anything to them without using a parable-NIV): AND WHEN THEY WERE ALONE (or privately), HE (EXPLAINED) ALL THINGS TO HIS DISCIPLES.

Mt 13:36. THEN JESUS SENT THE (CROWD) AWAY (or left the multitudes), AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE: AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME (TO) HIM, SAYING, (EXPLAIN) (TO) US THE PARABLE OF THE TARES (or weeds) OF THE FIELD.
Mt 13:37. HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, HE THAT (SOWS) THE GOOD SEED IS THE SON OF MAN;
Mt 13:38. THE FIELD IS THE WORLD; THE GOOD SEED ARE THE CHILDREN (or sons, or people) OF THE KINGDOM; BUT THE TARES (or weeds) ARE THE CHILDREN (or sons, or people) OF THE WICKED (or evil) ONE;
Mt 13:39. THE ENEMY THAT SOWED THEM IS THE DEVIL (or Adversary); THE HARVEST IS THE END OF THE WORLD (or age); AND THE REAPERS (or harvesters) ARE THE ANGELS.
Mt 13:40. AS THEREFORE THE TARES (or weeds) ARE (PULLED UP) (or collected) AND BURNED (up) IN THE FIRE; SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END OF THIS WORLD (or age).
Mt 13:41. THE SON OF MAN SHALL SEND FORTH HIS ANGELS, AND THEY SHALL GATHER (or weed, or collect) OUT OF HIS KINGDOM ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND (or everything) (that cause people to sin-JNT) (or stumbling blocks), AND (all) THEM WHICH DO (or commit, or practice) INIQUITY (or lawlessness, or evil) (or all people who are far from Torah-JNT);
Mt 13:42. AND SHALL (THROW) THEM INTO A FURNACE OF FIRE: (in that place) THERE SHALL BE WAILING (or weeping) AND GNASHING OF TEETH (or where people will wail and grind their teeth-JNT).
Mt 13:43. THEN SHALL THE RIGHTEOUS SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN IN THE KINGDOM OF THEIR FATHER. (He) WHO (HAS) EARS TO HEAR, LET HIM HEAR.

Mt 13:44. AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO TREASURE HID IN A FIELD; THE WHICH WHEN A MAN HATH FOUND, HE (HID IT AGAIN), AND (THEN IN HIS JOY) (GOES) AND (SELLS) ALL THAT HE (HAS) (or owned), AND (BUYS) THAT FIELD.

Mt 13:45. AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MERCHANT MAN, SEEKING (or on the lookout for-JNT) GOODLY (or fine, or beautiful) PEARLS:
Mt 13:46. WHO, WHEN HE HAD FOUND ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE (or value), (he) WENT (away) AND SOLD (EVERYTHING) THAT HE HAD, AND BOUGHT IT.

Mt 13:47. AGAIN, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A NET (or dragnet), THAT WAS CAST (or let down, or thrown) INTO THE SEA (or lake), AND (CAUGHT) (fish) OF EVERY KIND:
Mt 13:48. (And) WHICH, WHEN IT WAS FULL, (THE FISHERMEN) (PULLED IT) (UP) (on the) SHORE, AND (they) SAT DOWN, AND GATHERED THE GOOD (fish) INTO VESSELS (or containers, or baskets), BUT (THREW) THE BAD (fish) AWAY.
Mt 13:49. SO SHALL IT BE AT THE END OF THE WORLD (or close of the age-JNT): THE ANGELS SHALL COME FORTH, AND SEVER (or take out, or separate) THE WICKED (or evil people) FROM AMONG THE (RIGHTEOUS),
Mt 13:50. AND SHALL (THROW) THEM INTO THE FURNACE OF FIRE: (where) THERE SHALL BE WAILING (or weeping) AND GNASHING OF TEETH (or will…grind their teeth-JNT).
Mt 13:51. JESUS (SAID) (TO) THEM, HAVE (YOU) UNDERSTOOD ALL THESE THINGS? THEY SAY (TO) HIM, (YES), LORD.

Mt 13:52. THEN SAID HE (TO) THEM, THEREFORE EVERY SCRIBE (or teacher of the law-NIV) WHICH IS INSTRUCTED (or has become a disciple-NASB) UNTO (or of, or about, or concerning) THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE UNTO A MAN THAT IS (A HEAD OF A HOUSEHOLD-NASB) (or owner of a house-NIV), WHICH (BRINGS) FORTH OUT OF HIS TREASURE (or storeroom) THINGS (or treasure) NEW AND OLD.
Mt 13:53. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT WHEN JESUS HAD FINISHED THESE PARABLES, HE DEPARTED (or left) (or moved on) (FROM THERE).

Mt 8:18. NOW WHEN JESUS SAW GREAT MULTITUDES ABOUT HIM, HE GAVE (ORDERS) TO (CROSS) (TO) THE OTHER SIDE (of the lake).

Mt 8:23. AND WHEN HE WAS (GOT INTO THE BOAT), HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM.
Mt 8:24. AND, (without warning) (or suddenly) BEHOLD, THERE AROSE A (FURIOUS STORM) IN THE (LAKE), INSOMUCH THAT THE (WAVES SWEPT OVER THE BOAT-NIV): BUT HE (Himself) WAS ASLEEP.
Mt 8:25. AND HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM, AND AWOKE HIM, SAYING, LORD (or Sir!), SAVE (or help) US: WE PERISH (or We are perishing!, or We’re going to drown!-NIV, or We’re about to die!-JNT).
Mt 8:26. AND HE (SAID) (or replied) (TO) THEM, WHY ARE (YOU) (AFRAID), O (YOU) (men) OF LITTLE FAITH (or trust)? THEN HE (GOT UP), AND REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE (WAVES); AND (IT BECAME PERFECTLY) CALM.
Mt 8:27. BUT THE MEN MARVELED (or were amazed, or astounded), SAYING, WHAT (KIND) OF (a) MAN IS THIS (or who can this be-NKJV), THAT EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA OBEY HIM!

Mk 4:35. AND THE SAME DAY, WHEN THE (EVENING) WAS COME, HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, LET US (GO) OVER (TO) THE OTHER SIDE (of the lake).
Mk 4:36. AND WHEN THEY HAD SENT AWAY THE (CROWD), THEY TOOK HIM (along with them) (JUST) AS HE WAS (,) IN THE (BOAT). AND THERE WERE ALSO WITH HIM OTHER LITTLE (BOATS).
Mk 4:37. AND THERE AROSE A GREAT STORM (or fierce gale) OF WIND, AND THE WAVES BEAT (or were breaking over) INTO THE (BOAT), SO THAT IT WAS NOW (FILLING UP).
Mk 4:38. AND HE WAS IN THE HINDER PART (or stern) OF THE SHIP, ASLEEP ON A PILLOW (or cushion): AND (THE DISCIPLES) (AWOKE) HIM, AND (SAID) (TO) HIM, MASTER (or Teacher), (DON’T YOU CARE IF WE DROWN-NIV)?
Mk 4:39. AND HE AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WIND, AND SAID (TO) THE SEA, PEACE (or Hush, or Quiet), BE STILL. AND THE WIND CEASED, AND (IT BECAME PERFECTLY) CALM.
Mk 4:40. AND HE SAID (TO) (HIS DISCIPLES), WHY ARE (YOU) SO FEARFUL? HOW IS IT THAT (YOU) HAVE NO FAITH (or trust) (even now)?
Mk 4:41. AND THEY FEARED EXCEEDINGLY (or became very much afraid-NASB), AND SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS (or who is this), THAT EVEN THE WIND AND THE (WAVES) OBEY HIM?

Lk 8:22. NOW IT CAME TO PASS ON A CERTAIN DAY, THAT (JESUS) WENT INTO A (BOAT) WITH HIS DISCIPLES: AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, LET US GO OVER (TO) THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE. AND (so) THEY LAUNCHED FORTH.
Lk 8:23. BUT AS THEY SAILED HE FELL ASLEEP: AND THERE CAME DOWN A STORM (or fierce gale) OF WIND ON THE LAKE; AND (THE BOAT WAS) (FILLING) WITH WATER, AND WERE IN (GREAT DANGER).
Lk 8:24. AND (THE DISCIPLES) CAME TO HIM, AND AWOKE HIM, SAYING, MASTER, MASTER, WE PERISH (or we’re about to die!-JNT, or we’re going to drown!-NIV). THEN HE AROSE, AND REBUKED THE WIND AND THE (SURGING WAVES): AND THEY CEASED, AND THERE WAS A CALM.
Lk 8:25. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH (or trust)? AND THEY BEING AFRAID WONDERED, SAYING ONE TO ANOTHER, WHAT MANNER OF MAN (or Who then) IS THIS! FOR HE (COMMANDS) EVEN THE WINDS AND WATER, AND THEY OBEY HIM.

Mt 8:28. AND WHEN HE (ARRIVED AT) THE OTHER SIDE (of the lake) INTO THE COUNTRY (or territory) OF THE GERGESENES (or Gadarenes), THERE MET HIM TWO (men) POSSESSED WITH DEVILS (or demon-possessed, or controlled by demons), COMING OUT OF THE TOMBS, (they were) EXCEEDING FIERCE (or violent), SO THAT NO MAN (COULD) PASS BY THAT WAY (or no one dared travel on that road-JNT).
Mt 8:29. AND, BEHOLD (suddenly), THEY (SHOUTED), SAYING, WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH (YOU) (or what do you want with us-NIV), JESUS, (YOU) SON OF GOD? (HAVE) (YOU) COME (HERE) TO TORMENT (or torture) US BEFORE THE (appointed) TIME?

Mk 5:1. AND THEY CAME OVER (TO) THE OTHER SIDE OF THE (LAKE), INTO THE COUNTRY (or region, or territory) OF THE GADARENES (or Gerasenes).
Mk 5:2. AND WHEN HE WAS COME (or got) OUT OF THE (BOAT), IMMEDIATELY THERE MET HIM OUT OF THE TOMBS A MAN WITH AN UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT,
Mk 5:3. WHO HAD HIS DWELLING AMONG THE TOMBS; AND NO MAN COULD BIND (or keep) HIM (tied up) (any more), NO, NOT (even) WITH CHAINS:
Mk 5:4. BECAUSE THAT HE HAD (OFTEN BEEN) BOUND (hand and foot) WITH (SHACKLES) AND CHAINS, AND THE CHAINS HAD BEEN (TORN APART) BY HIM, AND THE (SHACKLES) (or irons) BROKEN IN PIECES (off his feet): NEITHER COULD ANY MAN TAME HIM (or no one was strong enough to subdue him-NASB, or control him).
Mk 5:5. AND (CONSTANTLY), NIGHT AND DAY, HE WAS IN THE (HILLS), AND IN THE TOMBS (or graves), CRYING (out) (or howling), AND CUTTING HIMSELF WITH STONES.
Mk 5:6. BUT WHEN HE SAW JESUS (FROM A DISTANCE), HE RAN AND (FELL ON HIS KNEES IN FRONT OF-NIV) HIM,
Mk 5:7. AND (SCREAMED) WITH A LOUD VOICE, AND SAID, WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH (YOU), JESUS (or what do You want with me-JNT), THOU SON OF THE MOST HIGH GOD? I ADJURE (or implore) (YOU) BY GOD, THAT (YOU) TORMENT ME NOT (or don’t torture me!-JNT).
Mk 5:8. FOR (JESUS) SAID (TO) HIM, COME OUT OF THE MAN, (YOU) UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRIT.
Mk 5:9. AND HE ASKED HIM, WHAT IS (YOUR) NAME? AND HE ANSWERED, SAYING, MY NAME IS LEGION: FOR WE ARE MANY.
Mk 5:10. AND HE (BEGGED) (JESUS) MUCH (or earnestly) (again and again) THAT HE WOULD NOT SEND THEM AWAY OUT OF THE COUNTRY (or region, or area).

Lk 8:26. AND THEY (sailed on and) ARRIVED AT THE (REGION) OF THE GADARENES, WHICH IS (ACROSS THE LAKE FROM) GALILEE.
Lk 8:27. AND WHEN (JESUS) WENT FORTH TO LAND, THERE MET HIM OUT OF THE (TOWN) A CERTAIN MAN, WHICH (WAS POSSESSED (with) (DEMONS) (a) LONG TIME, AND (WORE) NO CLOTHES, NEITHER (WAS LIVING) IN ANY HOUSE, BUT IN THE TOMBS.
Lk 8:28. WHEN HE SAW JESUS, HE CRIED OUT, AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM (at His feet), (HE SCREAMED), WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH (YOU), JESUS (or what do You want with me-NIV), THOU SON OF GOD MOST HIGH? I (BEG) (YOU), TORMENT ME NOT (or don’t torture me!).
Lk 8:29. (FOR [JESUS] HAD COMMANDED THE UNCLEAN [or evil] SPIRIT TO COME OUT OF THE MAN. FOR [MANY TIMES] IT HAD CAUGHT [or seized] HIM: AND HE WAS KEPT BOUND [hand and foot] WITH CHAINS AND IN [SHACKLES] [and kept under guard]; AND HE [BROKE] THE BANDS [or chains], AND WAS DRIVEN [BY] THE DEVIL [or demon] INTO THE WILDERNESS [or desert].)
Lk 8:30. AND JESUS ASKED HIM, SAYING, WHAT IS (YOUR) NAME? AND HE SAID, LEGION: BECAUSE MANY DEVILS WERE ENTERED INTO HIM.
Lk 8:31. AND THEY (BEGGED) HIM (repeatedly) THAT HE WOULD NOT COMMAND THEM TO GO OUT INTO THE DEEP (or Abyss, or Bottomless Pit).

Mt 8:30. AND THERE WAS A GOOD (DISTANCE) FROM THEM AN HERD OF MANY (PIGS) FEEDING.
Mt 8:31. SO THE (DEMONS) (BEGGED) (JESUS), SAYING, IF (YOU) (are going to) (DRIVE) US OUT, (SEND) (or permit) US TO GO AWAY INTO THE HERD OF (PIGS).
Mt 8:32. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, (All right) GO. AND WHEN THEY WERE COME OUT, THEY WENT INTO THE HERD OF (PIGS): AND, BEHOLD, (suddenly) THE WHOLE HERD OF SWINE RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE (or bank, or hillside) INTO THE (LAKE), AND PERISHED (or died, or drowned) IN THE WATERS.

Mk 5:11. NOW THERE WAS THERE (NEAR) UNTO THE (HILLSIDE) A GREAT HERD OF (PIGS) FEEDING.
Mk 5:12. AND ALL THE (DEMONS) (BEGGED) (JESUS), SAYING, SEND US INTO THE (PIGS), THAT WE MAY ENTER INTO THEM.
Mk 5:13. AND FORTHWITH JESUS GAVE THEM (PERMISSION). AND THE UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS WENT OUT, AND ENTERED INTO THE (PIGS): AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE (or bank, or hillside) INTO THE (LAKE), (THEY WERE ABOUT TWO THOUSAND;) AND WERE (DROWNED) IN THE (LAKE).

Lk 8:32. AND THERE WAS THERE AN HERD OF MANY (PIGS) FEEDING ON THE (HILLSIDE): AND THEY (the demons) (BEGGED) (JESUS) THAT HE WOULD (LET) THEM (GO) INTO THEM. AND HE (GAVE) THEM (permission).
Lk 8:33. THEN WENT THE (DEMONS) OUT OF THE MAN, AND ENTERED INTO THE (PIGS): AND THE HERD RAN VIOLENTLY DOWN A STEEP PLACE (or hillside) INTO THE LAKE, AND WERE (DROWNED).

Mt 8:33. AND THEY (the herdsmen) THAT KEPT (THE PIGS) (RAN AWAY), AND WENT THEIR WAYS INTO THE (TOWN), AND (REPORTED) EVERY THING, AND WHAT WAS BEFALLEN TO THE POSSESSED OF THE DEVILS (or demoniacs, or demon-possessed men).

Mk 5:14. AND THEY (their herdsmen) THAT FED THE (PIGS) (RAN AWAY), AND TOLD IT IN THE (TOWN), AND IN THE (surrounding) COUNTRY. AND (THE PEOPLE) WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS THAT (HAD HAPPENED).

Lk 8:34. WHEN (THE HERDSMEN) THAT FED THEM SAW WHAT WAS DONE, THEY FLED, AND WENT AND (REPORTED) IT IN THE (TOWN) AND IN THE COUNTRY (side).

Mt 8:34. AND, BEHOLD, THE WHOLE (TOWN) CAME OUT TO MEET JESUS: AND WHEN THEY SAW HIM, THEY (BEGGED) (or entreated, or pleaded with) HIM THAT HE WOULD (LEAVE) THEIR (REGION).

Mk 5:15. AND THEY COME TO JESUS, AND SEE HIM THAT WAS POSSESSED WITH THE (DEMON), AND HAD THE LEGION, SITTING, AND CLOTHED, AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND: AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
Mk 5:16. AND THEY THAT SAW IT TOLD (THE PEOPLE) HOW IT (HAD HAPPENED) TO HIM THAT WAS POSSESSED (or controlled) WITH THE (DEMON), AND ALSO CONCERNING THE (PIGS).
Mk 5:17. AND THEY BEGAN (BEGGING) (JESUS) TO DEPART OUT OF THEIR COASTS (or region, or district).

Lk 8:35. THEN (THE PEOPLE) WENT OUT TO SEE WHAT (HAD HAPPENED); AND (they) CAME TO JESUS, AND FOUND THE MAN, OUT OF WHOM THE DEVILS WERE DEPARTED, SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS, CLOTHED, AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND: AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
Lk 8:36. THEY ALSO WHICH SAW IT TOLD (THE PEOPLE) (HOW) HE THAT WAS POSSESSED OF THE (DEMONS) WAS HEALED (or made well, or delivered).
Lk 8:37 (Part 1). THEN (ALL THE PEOPLE) OF THE (REGION) OF THE GADARENES ROUND ABOUT (ASKED) (JESUS) TO DEPART FROM THEM; FOR THEY WERE (GRIPPED) (or overcome) WITH GREAT FEAR:

Mk 5:18. AND WHEN (JESUS) WAS (GETTING) INTO THE (BOAT), HE (the man) THAT HAD BEEN POSSESSED WITH THE (DEMON) (BEGGED) HIM THAT HE MIGHT BE (allowed to go) WITH HIM.
Mk 5:19. HOWBEIT JESUS (DID NOT LET HIM), BUT (SAID) (TO) HIM, GO HOME TO (YOUR) FRIENDS, (or family, or people) AND TELL THEM (WHAT) GREAT THINGS THE LORD (HAS) DONE FOR (YOU), AND (how He) (HAS) HAD COMPASSION (or mercy) ON (YOU).
Mk 5:20. AND (THE MAN) DEPARTED, AND BEGAN TO (PROCLAIM) IN DECAPOLIS (or Ten Towns) (WHAT) GREAT THINGS JESUS HAD DONE FOR HIM: AND ALL (PEOPLE) DID MARVEL (or were amazed).

Lk 8:37 (Part 2). AND (so) HE WENT UP INTO THE (BOAT), (and left) AND RETURNED BACK AGAIN.

Mk 5:21. AND WHEN JESUS (HAD CROSSED) OVER AGAIN BY (BOAT) (TO) THE OTHER SIDE (of the lake), (A LARGE CROWD) GATHERED (AROUND) HIM: AND HE (STAYED BY) THE (LAKE).

Lk 8:40. AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT, WHEN JESUS WAS RETURNED, THE (CROWD) GLADLY RECEIVED HIM: FOR THEY WERE ALL WAITING FOR HIM.

Mt 9:18. WHILE HE (WAS SAYING) THESE THINGS (TO) THEM, BEHOLD, THERE CAME A CERTAIN RULER (or synagogue official), AND (KNELT BEFORE) HIM, SAYING, MY DAUGHTER (HAS JUST DIED): BUT (if you) COME AND LAY (YOUR) HAND UPON HER, AND SHE SHALL LIVE.
Mt 9:19. AND JESUS (GOT UP), AND FOLLOWED HIM, AND SO DID HIS DISCIPLES.

Mk 5:22. AND, BEHOLD, THERE (CAME) ONE OF THE RULERS (or officials) OF THE SYNAGOGUE, JAIRUS BY NAME; AND WHEN HE SAW HIM, HE FELL AT HIS FEET,
Mk 5:23. AND (BEGGED) HIM (DESPERATELY), SAYING, MY LITTLE DAUGHTER (IS) DYING): I PRAY THEE (or please), COME AND LAY (YOUR) HANDS ON HER, THAT SHE MAY BE HEALED; AND SHE SHALL LIVE.
Mk 5:24. AND JESUS WENT WITH HIM; AND (A LARGE CROWD) FOLLOWED HIM, AND (PRESSED) (all around) HIM.

Lk 8:41. AND, BEHOLD, THERE CAME A MAN NAMED JAIRUS, AND HE WAS A RULER (or official, or president) OF THE SYNAGOGUE: AND HE FELL DOWN AT JESUS' FEET, AND (BEGGED) HIM THAT HE WOULD COME (TO) HIS HOUSE:
Lk 8:42. FOR HE HAD ONE ONLY DAUGHTER, ABOUT TWELVE YEARS OF AGE, AND SHE (WAS DYING). BUT AS (JESUS) WENT THE PEOPLE (WERE PRESSING AGAINST) HIM (or the crowds almost crushed Him-NIV) (on every side).

Mt 9:20. AND, BEHOLD, (suddenly) A WOMAN, WHICH WAS DISEASED WITH (or subject to) AN ISSUE (or flow) OF BLOOD (or had been suffering from a hemorrhage for-NASB) TWELVE YEARS, CAME (up) BEHIND HIM, AND TOUCHED THE HEM (or fringe, or edge) OF HIS GARMENT:
Mt 9:21. FOR SHE SAID (TO) HERSELF, IF I MAY BUT (only) TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I SHALL BE WHOLE (or get well, or will be healed).
Mt 9:22. BUT JESUS TURNED (AROUND), AND WHEN HE SAW HER, HE SAID, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD COMFORT (or cheer, or take courage, or take heart); (YOUR) FAITH (or trust) (HAS) MADE (YOU) WHOLE (or well, or healed you). AND THE WOMAN WAS MADE WHOLE (or well, or healed) (INSTANTLY).

Mk 5:25. AND (among them was) A CERTAIN WOMAN, WHICH HAD (A) (FLOW) (or hemorrhage) OF BLOOD TWELVE YEARS,
Mk 5:26. AND (she) HAD SUFFERED (or endured) (A GREAT DEAL) (at the hands or under the care) OF MANY PHYSICIANS (or doctors), AND HAD SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD (or her life savings), AND WAS (NOT GETTING) (BETTER), BUT RATHER (she) GREW WORSE,
Mk 5:27. WHEN SHE HAD HEARD OF JESUS, (she) CAME (up) IN THE (CROWD) BEHIND (Him), AND TOUCHED HIS GARMENT (or cloak, or robe).
Mk 5:28. FOR SHE (THOUGHT), IF I MAY (only) (just) TOUCH BUT HIS CLOTHES, I SHALL (GET WELL).
Mk 5:29. AND (INSTANTLY) THE (FLOW) (or hemorrhaging) OF HER BLOOD WAS (STOPPED); AND SHE FELT IN HER BODY THAT SHE WAS HEALED (or freed) OF THAT PLAGUE (or affliction, or suffering, or disease).
Mk 5:30. AND JESUS, IMMEDIATELY KNOWING IN HIMSELF THAT VIRTUE (or power) HAD GONE OUT OF HIM, TURNED HIM ABOUT IN THE (CROWD), AND SAID, WHO TOUCHED MY CLOTHES?
Mk 5:31. AND HIS DISCIPLES SAID (TO) HIM, (YOU) (SEE) THE (PEOPLE) (PRESSING) (or crowding) (against) (YOU), AND (yet) (SAY) (YOU), WHO TOUCHED ME?
Mk 5:32. AND (JESUS) LOOKED (AROUND) ABOUT TO SEE (THE WOMAN) THAT HAD DONE THIS THING.
Mk 5:33. BUT THE WOMAN FEARING AND TREMBLING, KNOWING WHAT (HAD HAPPENED) IN HER, CAME AND FELL DOWN BEFORE HIM, AND TOLD HIM ALL THE TRUTH.
Mk 5:34. AND HE SAID (TO) HER, DAUGHTER, (YOUR) FAITH (or trust) (HAS) (HEALED YOU); GO IN PEACE, AND BE (HEALED) (or freed) OF (YOUR) PLAGUE (or disease, or suffering).

Lk 8:43. AND A WOMAN HAVING (A) (FLOW) (or hemorrhage) OF BLOOD (for) TWELVE YEARS, WHICH HAD SPENT ALL HER (LIVELIHOOD) UPON PHYSICIANS, NEITHER COULD BE HEALED OF ANY (one),
Lk 8:44. CAME (up) BEHIND HIM, AND TOUCHED THE BORDER OF HIS GARMENT: AND IMMEDIATELY HER (FLOW) (or hemorrhage) OF BLOOD (STOPPED).
Lk 8:45. AND JESUS SAID, WHO (is the one who-NASB) TOUCHED ME? WHEN ALL DENIED (it), PETER AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM SAID, MASTER, THE MULTITUDE (ARE CROWDING) (YOU) AND (PRESSING) (against) (YOU), AND (YOU SAY), WHO TOUCHED ME?
Lk 8:46. AND JESUS SAID, SOMEBODY (DID TOUCH) ME: FOR I PERCEIVE THAT VIRTUE (or power) IS GONE OUT OF ME.
Lk 8:47. AND WHEN THE WOMAN SAW THAT SHE (HAD NOT ESCAPED NOTICE), SHE CAME TREMBLING (with fear), AND FALLING DOWN BEFORE HIM (at His feet), SHE DECLARED (TO) HIM BEFORE ALL THE PEOPLE (THE REASON) SHE HAD TOUCHED HIM, AND HOW SHE WAS HEALED IMMEDIATELY.
Lk 8:48. AND HE SAID (TO) HER, DAUGHTER, BE OF GOOD COMFORT: (YOUR) FAITH (or trust) (HAS) MADE (YOU) WHOLE (or well, or saved you); GO IN PEACE.

Mk 5:35. WHILE (JESUS) YET (WAS STILL SPEAKING), THERE CAME FROM THE RULER (or official) OF THE SYNAGOGUE'S HOUSE CERTAIN (men) WHICH SAID, (YOUR) DAUGHTER IS DEAD: WHY (BOTHER) THE MASTER (or Teacher, or Rabbi) ANY FURTHER?
Mk 5:36. AS SOON AS JESUS HEARD THE WORD THAT WAS SPOKEN, HE (SAID) (TO) THE RULER (or official) OF THE SYNAGOGUE, BE NOT AFRAID (any longer), ONLY BELIEVE (or just keep trusting).
Mk 5:37. AND HE (LET NO ONE) FOLLOW HIM, (EXCEPT) PETER, AND JAMES, AND JOHN THE BROTHER OF JAMES.

Lk 8:49. WHILE HE YET (WAS STILL SPEAKING), THERE (CAME) (SOMEONE) FROM THE RULER OF THE SYNAGOGUE'S HOUSE (or house of Jairus), SAYING TO HIM, (YOUR) DAUGHTER IS DEAD; TROUBLE NOT THE MASTER (or Teacher) (anymore).
Lk 8:50. BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE ANSWERED (JAIRUS), SAYING, FEAR NOT (any longer): (just) BELIEVE (or go on trusting) ONLY, AND SHE SHALL BE MADE (WELL).

Mt 9:23. AND WHEN JESUS (ENTERED) THE RULER'S (or official’s) HOUSE, AND SAW THE MINSTRELS (or flute players) AND THE (CROWD) MAKING A NOISE (or wailing, or in noisy disorder, or in an uproar),
Mt 9:24. HE SAID (TO) THEM, (EVERYBODY OUT!): FOR THE (GIRL) IS NOT DEAD, BUT (IS ASLEEP). AND THEY LAUGHED HIM TO SCORN (or began laughing at Him-NASB, or ridiculed Him).
Mt 9:25. BUT (AFTER) THE (CROWD) (HAD BEEN) PUT (OUTSIDE), HE WENT IN, AND TOOK HER BY THE HAND, AND THE (GIRL) (GOT UP).

Mk 5:38. AND HE (CAME) TO THE HOUSE OF THE RULER (or official) OF THE SYNAGOGUE, AND (SAW) THE (COMMOTION), AND THEM THAT WEPT AND WAILED (LOUDLY).
Mk 5:39. AND WHEN HE WAS COME IN, HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, WHY (ALL) THIS (COMMOTION), AND (WEEPING)? THE DAMSEL (or child) IS NOT DEAD, BUT (SLEEPING).
Mk 5:40. AND THEY (RIDICULED HIM). BUT WHEN HE HAD PUT THEM ALL OUT, HE (TOOK) THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER OF THE DAMSEL (or child), AND THEM THAT WERE WITH HIM, AND (ENTERED) IN (the room) WHERE THE DAMSEL (or child) WAS LYING.
Mk 5:41. AND HE TOOK THE DAMSEL (or child) BY THE HAND, AND SAID (TO) HER, TALITHA CUMI; WHICH IS, BEING INTERPRETED, DAMSEL (or little girl), I SAY (TO) (YOU), (GET UP).
Mk 5:42. AND (IMMEDIATELY) THE DAMSEL (or girl) (STOOD UP), AND WALKED (around); FOR SHE WAS OF THE AGE OF TWELVE YEARS. AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED WITH A GREAT ASTONISHMENT (or utterly amazed).
Mk 5:43. AND HE (GAVE THEM STRICT ORDERS) (TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT THIS TO ANYONE-JNT); AND COMMANDED THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE GIVEN HER TO EAT.

Lk 8:51. AND WHEN HE CAME INTO THE HOUSE, HE (ALLOWED) NO MAN TO GO IN, (EXCEPT) PETER, AND JAMES, AND JOHN, AND THE FATHER AND THE MOTHER OF THE (CHILD).
Lk 8:52. AND ALL WEPT, AND (MOURNED) (for) HER: BUT (JESUS) SAID, WEEP NOT (or stop weeping); SHE IS NOT DEAD, BUT (SLEEPING).
Lk 8:53. AND THEY (RIDICULED HIM) (or began laughing at Him-NASB), KNOWING THAT SHE WAS DEAD.
Lk 8:54. AND HE PUT THEM ALL OUT, AND TOOK HER BY THE HAND, AND CALLED, SAYING, (CHILD) (or little girl), (GET UP).
Lk 8:55. AND HER SPIRIT CAME AGAIN, AND SHE AROSE (AT ONCE): AND HE COMMANDED TO GIVE HER (SOMETHING TO EAT).
Lk 8:56. AND HER PARENTS WERE ASTONISHED: BUT HE (ORDERED) THEM THAT THEY SHOULD TELL NO MAN WHAT WAS DONE.

Mt 9:26. AND THE (NEWS) (or report) (OF THIS) WENT (OUT) INTO ALL THAT LAND (or region).

Mt 9:27. AND WHEN JESUS DEPARTED (FROM THERE), TWO BLIND MEN (BEGAN FOLLOWING) HIM, (SHOUTING), AND SAYING, THOU SON OF DAVID, HAVE MERCY (or take pity) ON US.

Mt 9:28. AND (AFTER) HE WAS COME INTO THE HOUSE, THE BLIND MEN CAME TO HIM: AND JESUS (SAID) (TO) THEM, BELIEVE (YOU) THAT I (HAVE THE POWER TO) DO THIS? THEY SAID (TO) HIM, (YES), LORD.
Mt 9:29. THEN TOUCHED HE THEIR EYES, SAYING, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH (or trust) (LET IT HAPPEN).
Mt 9:30. AND THEIR (SIGHT WAS RESTORED); AND JESUS STRAITLY CHARGED THEM (or sternly warned them, or warned them severely), SAYING, SEE THAT NO MAN KNOW (ABOUT THIS).
Mt 9:31. BUT (instead) THEY, WHEN THEY (WENT AWAY), SPREAD ABROAD (THE NEWS ABOUT HIM) IN ALL THAT COUNTRY (or land, or region) (or they…talked about Him throughout that district-JNT).

Mt 9:32. AS THEY (WERE GOING) OUT, BEHOLD, THEY BROUGHT TO (JESUS) A DUMB (or mute) MAN (who…could not talk-NIV) POSSESSED (or controlled) WITH A (DEMON).
Mt 9:33. AND WHEN THE (DEMON) WAS CAST (or driven) OUT, THE DUMB (or man who had been mute-NIV) (SPOKE): AND THE (CROWD) (WAS AMAZED), SAYING, IT WAS NEVER SO SEEN IN ISRAEL (or nothing like this was ever seen in Israel-NASB).
Mt 9:34. BUT THE PHARISEES SAID, HE (CASTS) (or expels, or drives) OUT (DEMONS) THROUGH THE PRINCE (or ruler) OF THE (DEMONS).

Mt 13:54. AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO HIS OWN (HOME TOWN), HE TAUGHT (THE PEOPLE) IN THEIR SYNAGOGUE, (IN A WAY) THAT THEY WERE ASTONISHED (or amazed), AND (so…they) SAID, (WHERE) (DID) THIS MAN (get) THIS WISDOM, AND THESE MIGHTY WORKS (or miraculous powers, or miracles) (from)?
Mt 13:55. IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER'S SON? IS NOT HIS MOTHER CALLED MARY? AND HIS (BROTHERS), JAMES, AND JOSES (or Joseph), AND SIMON, AND JUDAS?
Mt 13:56. AND HIS SISTERS, ARE THEY NOT ALL WITH US? (WHERE) THEN (DID) THIS MAN (get) ALL THESE THINGS?
Mt 13:57. AND THEY WERE OFFENDED (or took offense) IN HIM. BUT JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, A PROPHET IS NOT WITHOUT HONOR (or respect), (EXCEPT) IN HIS OWN (HOME TOWN), AND IN HIS OWN (HOUSEHOLD).
Mt 13:58. AND HE DID NOT (do) MANY MIGHTY (MIRACLES) THERE BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF (or lack of trust, or lack of faith).

Mk 6:1. AND (JESUS) WENT OUT FROM (THERE), AND CAME INTO HIS OWN (HOMETOWN); AND HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOW HIM.
Mk 6:2. AND WHEN THE SABBATH DAY WAS COME, HE BEGAN TO TEACH IN THE SYNAGOGUE: AND MANY (listeners) HEARING HIM WERE ASTONISHED, SAYING, FROM (WHERE) (DID) THIS MAN (get) THESE THINGS? AND WHAT WISDOM IS THIS WHICH IS GIVEN (TO) HIM, THAT EVEN SUCH MIGHTY (MIRACLES) ARE (PERFORMED) BY HIS HANDS?
Mk 6:3. IS NOT THIS THE CARPENTER, THE SON OF MARY, THE BROTHER OF JAMES, AND JOSES, AND OF (JUDAS), AND SIMON? AND ARE NOT HIS SISTERS HERE WITH US? AND THEY WERE OFFENDED AT HIM.
Mk 6:4. BUT JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, A PROPHET IS NOT WITHOUT HONOR (or respect), BUT IN HIS OWN (HOME TOWN), AND AMONG HIS OWN KIN (or relatives), AND IN HIS OWN HOUSE (hold).
Mk 6:5. AND HE COULD THERE DO NO MIGHTY WORK, (EXCEPT) THAT HE LAID HIS HANDS UPON A FEW SICK (PEOPLE), AND HEALED THEM.
Mk 6:6 (Part 1). AND HE (WAS AMAZED) BECAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF (or lack of trust, or faith).

Mk 6:6 (Part 2). AND HE WENT (AROUND) ABOUT THE (surrounding towns and) VILLAGES (in a circuit), TEACHING.

Mt 9:36. BUT WHEN HE SAW THE (CROWDS), HE WAS MOVED WITH (or felt, or had) COMPASSION ON THEM, BECAUSE THEY FAINTED, AND WERE SCATTERED ABROAD (or were distressed and downcast-NASB, or were harassed and helpless-NIV, or were weary and scattered-NKJV), AS SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD.
Mt 9:37. THEN (SAID) HE (TO) HIS DISCIPLES, THE HARVEST TRULY IS (PLENTIFUL) (or rich), BUT THE LABORERS (or workers) ARE FEW;
Mt 9:38. (ASK) THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE HARVEST, THAT HE WILL SEND (OUT) LABORERS (or workers) INTO HIS HARVEST (field) (to gather in His harvest-JNT).

Mt 10:1. AND WHEN HE HAD CALLED (TO) (or summoned) HIM HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES, HE GAVE THEM (AUTHORITY) AGAINST UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS, TO (DRIVE) THEM OUT, AND TO HEAL (EVERY) (KIND) OF SICKNESS (or weakness) AND ALL (KIND) OF DISEASE.

Lk 9:1. THEN (JESUS) CALLED HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES TOGETHER, AND (He) GAVE THEM POWER AND AUTHORITY OVER ALL (DEMONS), AND TO CURE DISEASES.

Mt 10:2. NOW THE NAMES OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES (or emissaries) ARE THESE; THE FIRST, SIMON, WHO IS CALLED PETER, AND ANDREW HIS BROTHER; JAMES THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, AND JOHN HIS BROTHER;
Mt 10:3. PHILIP, AND BARTHOLOMEW; THOMAS, AND MATTHEW THE (TAX COLLECTOR); JAMES THE SON OF ALPHAEUS, AND LEBBAEUS, WHOSE SURNAME WAS THADDAEUS;
Mt 10:4. SIMON THE CANAANITE, AND JUDAS ISCARIOT, (the one) WHO ALSO BETRAYED HIM.

Mk 6:7. AND HE CALLED (TO) HIM THE TWELVE, AND BEGAN TO SEND THEM FORTH (IN PAIRS); AND GAVE THEM (AUTHORITY) OVER UNCLEAN (or evil) SPIRITS;

Lk 9:2. AND HE SENT THEM (out) TO PREACH THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND TO HEAL THE SICK.

Mt 10:5. THESE TWELVE JESUS SENT FORTH, (AFTER INSTRUCTING) THEM, SAYING, GO NOT INTO THE WAY OF (or among, or into the territory of-JNT) THE GENTILES, AND INTO ANY CITY (or town) OF THE SAMARITANS ENTER YE NOT:
Mt 10:6. BUT GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
Mt 10:7. AND AS (YOU) GO, PREACH (or proclaim) (this message), SAYING, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS (NEAR).
Mt 10:8. HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS (or those with skin diseases-JNT), RAISE THE DEAD, CAST (or expel, or drive) OUT (DEMONS): FREELY (or without paying) YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE (or give without asking payment-JNT).

Mt 10:9. PROVIDE NEITHER (or do not acquire, or do not take along any-NIV) GOLD, NOR SILVER, NOR BRASS (or copper) IN YOUR PURSES (or money belts),
Mt 10:10. NOR SCRIP (or money, or bag, or a pack) FOR YOUR JOURNEY (or trip), NEITHER TWO COATS (or tunics, or extra shirt), NEITHER SHOES (or sandals), NOR YET (A STAFF) (or walking stick): FOR THE (WORKER) IS WORTHY OF HIS MEAT (or support, or keep, or food, or a worker should be given what he needs-JNT).
Mt 10:11. AND INTO WHATSOEVER CITY OR TOWN (or village) (YOU) SHALL ENTER, INQUIRE (or search for) WHO IN IT IS WORTHY (or trustworthy, or for some worthy person-NIV); AND (stay) THERE (at his house) TILL (YOU) (LEAVE).
Mt 10:12. AND WHEN (YOU) (ENTER) AN (HOUSEHOLD), SALUTE IT (or give it your greeting; or say, ‘Shalom aleikhem!’-JNT).

Mk 6:10. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, IN WHAT PLACE (WHEREVER) (YOU) ENTER INTO AN HOUSE, THERE (STAY) (UNTIL) (YOU) DEPART FROM THAT PLACE.

AND (WHOEVER) (or any place that) SHALL NOT (WELCOME) YOU, NOR (LISTEN TO) YOU (or they refuse to hear you-JNT), WHEN (YOU) DEPART (THERE), SHAKE OFF THE DUST UNDER (or from the soles of-NASB) YOUR FEET FOR A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM (or warning to them). VERILY (or assuredly) I SAY (TO) YOU, IT SHALL BE MORE TOLERABLE FOR SODOM AND (GOMORRAH) IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, THAN FOR THAT CITY.

Lk 9:3. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, TAKE NOTHING FOR YOUR JOURNEY, NEITHER (A STAFF) (or walking stick), NOR SCRIP (or bag, or pack), NEITHER BREAD, NEITHER MONEY; NEITHER HAVE TWO COATS (or shirts) APIECE.
Lk 9:4. AND (WHATEVER) HOUSE (YOU) ENTER INTO, (STAY THERE), AND (FROM THERE) DEPART.

Mt 10:16. (PAY ATTENTION), I SEND YOU (OUT) AS SHEEP IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES: (SO BE AS) WISE (or shrewd, or prudent) AS SERPENTS, AND HARMLESS (or innocent) AS DOVES.
Mt 10:17. BUT (BE ON YOUR GUARD AGAINST-NIV) MEN: FOR THEY WILL HAND YOU (OVER) TO THE COUNCILS (or courts), AND THEY WILL SCOURGE (or flog) YOU IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES;
Mt 10:18. AND (YOU) SHALL BE BROUGHT BEFORE GOVERNORS AND KINGS FOR MY SAKE, FOR A TESTIMONY (or as witnesses) (TO) THEM AND (to) THE GENTILES.
Mt 10:19. BUT WHEN THEY (ARREST YOU) (or bring you to trial-JNT), TAKE NO THOUGHT (or do not worry) HOW OR WHAT (YOU) SHALL SPEAK (or how to say it-NIV): FOR IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU IN THAT SAME HOUR (or when the time comes-JNT) WHAT (YOU) SHALL SPEAK.
Mt 10:20. FOR IT IS NOT (YOU) THAT SPEAK, BUT THE SPIRIT OF YOUR FATHER WHICH (SPEAKS) IN (or through) YOU. (Ref Mk 13:11, Lk 12:11-12)
Mt 10:21. AND THE BROTHER SHALL DELIVER UP (or betray) THE BROTHER TO DEATH, AND THE FATHER (HIS) CHILD: AND THE CHILDREN SHALL RISE UP (or rebel, or turn) AGAINST THEIR PARENTS, AND CAUSE (or have) THEM TO BE PUT TO DEATH.

Mt 10:23. BUT (WHENEVER) THEY PERSECUTE YOU IN THIS CITY (or town), (RUN AWAY) INTO ANOTHER (or the next): FOR (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), (YOU) SHALL NOT HAVE (FINISHED GOING) OVER (or through) THE CITIES (or towns) OF ISRAEL, TILL THE SON OF MAN (COMES).

Mt 10:24. THE DISCIPLE (or student) IS NOT ABOVE HIS MASTER (or teacher, or rabbi), NOR THE SERVANT (or slave) ABOVE HIS LORD (or master).
Mt 10:25. IT IS ENOUGH FOR THE DISCIPLE (or student) THAT HE BE (LIKE) HIS MASTER (or teacher, or rabbi), AND THE SERVANT (or slave) (LIKE) HIS LORD (or master). IF (PEOPLE) HAVE CALLED THE MASTER (or head) OF THE HOUSE BEELZEBUB, HOW MUCH MORE SHALL THEY CALL (or malign) THEM (the members) OF HIS HOUSEHOLD?

Mt 10:26. FEAR THEM NOT THEREFORE (or be not afraid of them-NIV): FOR THERE IS NOTHING COVERED (or concealed), THAT SHALL NOT BE REVEALED (or disclosed); AND HID, THAT SHALL NOT BE KNOWN.
Mt 10:27. WHAT I TELL YOU IN DARKNESS, THAT SPEAK YE IN LIGHT: AND WHAT (YOU) HEAR (whispered) IN THE EAR, THAT PREACH (or proclaim) YE UPON THE HOUSETOPS.

Mt 10:29. ARE NOT TWO SPARROWS SOLD FOR A FARTHING (or a penny, or a copper coin) (or aren’t sparrows sold for next to nothing-JNT)? AND (yet) ONE OF THEM SHALL NOT FALL ON (or to) THE GROUND WITHOUT (the will of) YOUR FATHER (or your Father’s consent).
Mt 10:30. BUT THE VERY HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD ARE ALL NUMBERED (or counted).
Mt 10:31. (DO NOT BE AFRAID) THEREFORE (YOU) ARE OF MORE VALUE (or worth) THAN MANY SPARROWS.

Mt 10:32. WHOSOEVER THEREFORE SHALL CONFESS (or acknowledges) ME (IN THE PRESENCE OF OTHERS-JNT), HIM WILL I CONFESS (or acknowledge) ALSO BEFORE (or in the presence of-JNT) MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.
Mt 10:33. BUT WHOSOEVER SHALL DENY (or disowns) ME BEFORE MEN, HIM WILL I ALSO DENY (or disown) BEFORE MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.

Mt 10:34. (DO NOT THINK) THAT I AM COME TO (BRING) PEACE ON EARTH (or to the land): I CAME NOT TO (BRING) PEACE, BUT A SWORD.
Mt 10:35. FOR I AM COME TO SET A MAN AT VARIANCE AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND THE DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND THE DAUGHTER IN LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER IN LAW.
Mt 10:36. AND (so) A MAN'S FOES (or enemies) SHALL BE (THE MEMBERS) OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD.
Mt 10:37. (ANYONE) THAT (LOVES HIS) FATHER OR MOTHER MORE THAN (he loves) ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME: AND HE THAT (LOVES) SON OR DAUGHTER MORE THAN (he loves) ME IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
Mt 10:38. AND HE THAT (DOES NOT TAKE UP) HIS CROSS (or execution-stake-JNT), AND (FOLLOW) AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF ME.
Mt 10:39. HE THAT (FINDS) HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT: AND (THE PERSON) THAT (LOSES) HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE SHALL FIND IT.
Mt 10:40. HE THAT (RECEIVES) YOU (IS RECEIVING) ME, AND HE THAT (RECEIVES) ME (IS RECEIVING) HIM THAT SENT ME.

Mt 10:41. HE THAT (RECEIVES) A PROPHET IN THE NAME OF (or because he is) A PROPHET SHALL RECEIVE A PROPHET'S REWARD (or the reward a prophet gets-JNT); AND HE THAT (RECEIVES) A RIGHTEOUS MAN IN THE NAME OF (or because he is a-NIV) A RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL RECEIVE A RIGHTEOUS MAN'S REWARD.
Mt 10:42. AND (indeed) WHOSOEVER SHALL GIVE TO DRINK (TO) ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES (even) A CUP OF COLD WATER ONLY IN THE NAME OF A (or because he is My-NIV) DISCIPLE, (YES) I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), HE SHALL IN NO WISE LOSE HIS REWARD.

Mt 11:1. AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN JESUS HAD MADE AN END OF (GIVING INSTRUCTIONS TO) HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES, HE DEPARTED (FROM THERE) (and went on) TO TEACH AND TO PREACH IN THEIR CITIES (or towns of Galilee) (nearby).

Mk 6:12. AND THEY WENT OUT, AND PREACHED THAT MEN SHOULD REPENT (or turn from sin to God-JNT).
Mk 6:13. AND THEY (DROVE) OUT MANY (DEMONS), AND ANOINTED WITH OIL MANY THAT WERE SICK, AND HEALED THEM.

Lk 9:6. AND THEY DEPARTED, AND WENT THROUGH THE TOWNS (or from village to village-NIV), PREACHING THE GOSPEL (or Good News), AND HEALING (people) EVERY WHERE.

Mt 14:1. AT (or around) THAT TIME HEROD THE TETRARCH (or regional governor) HEARD OF THE FAME (or news, or reports) OF JESUS,
Mt 14:2. AND SAID (TO) HIS SERVANTS (or attendants), THIS IS (or must be) JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser); HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD; AND (THAT IS WHY) MIGHTY WORKS (or miraculous powers) DO SHOW FORTH THEMSELVES (or are at work) IN HIM.

Mk 6:14. AND KING HEROD HEARD OF HIM; (FOR [JESUS’] NAME (HAD BECOME WELL KNOWN) AND HE (or some) (people) SAID, THAT JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD, AND (THAT IS WHY) MIGHTY (or miraculous) WORKS (or powers) DO SHOW FORTH THEMSELVES (or are at work) IN HIM.
Mk 6:15. OTHERS SAID, THAT IT IS ELIJAH. AND OTHERS SAID, THAT IT IS A PROPHET, OR (LIKE) ONE OF THE PROPHETS (of long ago).
Mk 6:16. BUT WHEN HEROD HEARD (THIS), HE SAID (or kept saying), IT IS JOHN, WHOM I BEHEADED: HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD.

Lk 9:7. NOW HEROD THE TETRARCH (or governor) HEARD OF ALL THAT WAS (HAPPENING) BY HIM: AND HE WAS (greatly) PERPLEXED, BECAUSE THAT IT WAS SAID OF SOME, THAT JOHN WAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD;
Lk 9:8. AND OF SOME, THAT ELIJAH HAD APPEARED; AND (still) OF OTHERS, THAT ONE OF THE OLD PROPHETS WAS RISEN AGAIN (to life).
Lk 9:9. AND HEROD SAID, JOHN HAVE I BEHEADED: BUT (then) WHO IS THIS (man), OF WHOM I HEAR SUCH THINGS? AND HE DESIRED (or began trying) TO SEE HIM.

(Part 6 of 14)

FROM MT 14:12
JOHN BAPTIST KILLED
32 YEARS PLUS 4 MONTHS

Mk 6:17. FOR HEROD HIMSELF HAD SENT FORTH AND LAID HOLD UPON JOHN (or had him arrested), AND BOUND (or chained) (and put) HIM IN PRISON FOR HERODIAS' SAKE, HIS BROTHER PHILIP'S WIFE: FOR HE HAD MARRIED HER.
Mk 6:18. FOR JOHN HAD SAID (TO) HEROD, IT IS NOT LAWFUL FOR (YOU) TO HAVE (YOUR) BROTHER'S WIFE.
Mk 6:19. THEREFORE HERODIAS (NURSED A GRUDGE) AGAINST (JOHN), AND WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM; BUT SHE COULD NOT (do so):
Mk 6:20. FOR HEROD FEARED (or stood in awe of-JNT) JOHN (and protected him), KNOWING THAT HE WAS A (RIGHTEOUS) MAN AND AN HOLY (man), AND OBSERVED (or kept) HIM (safe); AND WHEN HE HEARD HIM, HE DID MANY THINGS, AND HEARD HIM GLADLY (or whenever he heard him, he became deeply disturbed, yet he liked to listen to him-JNT).
Mk 6:21. AND WHEN A CONVENIENT DAY WAS COME, THAT HEROD ON HIS BIRTHDAY MADE A SUPPER (or banquet) TO HIS LORDS (or officials, or nobles), HIGH CAPTAINS (or military commanders, or officers), AND CHIEF ESTATES (or the leading men) OF GALILEE;
Mk 6:22. AND WHEN THE DAUGHTER OF THE SAID HERODIAS (herself) CAME IN, AND DANCED, AND PLEASED HEROD AND THEM (the dinner guests) THAT SAT WITH HIM, THE KING SAID (TO) THE DAMSEL (or girl), ASK OF ME (WHATEVER) (YOU) (WANT), AND I WILL GIVE IT (to) (YOU).
Mk 6:23. AND HE (PROMISED) (TO) HER (with an oath), (WHATEVER) (YOU) (SHALL) ASK OF ME, I WILL GIVE IT (YOU), (UP TO) THE HALF OF MY KINGDOM.
Mk 6:24. AND SHE WENT FORTH, AND SAID (TO) HER MOTHER, WHAT SHALL I ASK (for)? AND SHE SAID, THE HEAD OF JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser)
Mk 6:25. AND SHE CAME IN (IMMEDIATELY) (AT ONCE) (TO) THE KING, AND ASKED, SAYING, I (WANT YOU TO) GIVE ME (RIGHT NOW) IN A (PLATTER) THE HEAD OF JOHN THE BAPTIST (or Immerser-JNT).
Mk 6:26. AND THE KING WAS (EXCEEDINGLY) SORRY (or distressed); YET FOR HIS OATH'S SAKE, AND FOR THEIR SAKES WHICH SAT WITH HIM (or his dinner guests), HE WOULD NOT REJECT HER (or out of regard for the oaths he had sworn before the dinner guests, he did not want to break his word to her-JNT).
Mk 6:27. AND IMMEDIATELY THE KING SENT AN EXECUTIONER (from his personal guard-JNT), AND COMMANDED HIS HEAD TO BE BROUGHT (back): AND (THE MAN) WENT AND BEHEADED (JOHN) IN THE PRISON,
Mk 6:28. AND BROUGHT HIS HEAD IN A (PLATTER), AND GAVE IT TO THE DAMSEL (or girl): AND THE DAMSEL (or girl) GAVE IT TO HER MOTHER.
Mk 6:29. AND WHEN HIS DISCIPLES HEARD OF IT, THEY CAME AND TOOK (AWAY) HIS CORPSE, AND LAID IT IN A TOMB (or grave).

Mt 14:13. (And) WHEN JESUS HEARD OF IT, HE DEPARTED (or withdrew) (FROM THERE) (privately) BY (BOAT) INTO A DESERT (or lonely, or solitary, or deserted) PLACE APART (or to be by Himself-JNT): AND WHEN THE (MULTITUDES) HAD HEARD THEREOF (of this), THEY FOLLOWED HIM ON FOOT OUT OF THE CITIES (or towns) (by land).
Mt 14:14. AND (when) JESUS WENT FORTH (or came ashore), AND SAW A (LARGE CROWD), AND WAS MOVED WITH (or felt) COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND HE HEALED THEIR SICK.

Mk 6:30. AND THE APOSTLES (who had been sent out-JNT) GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER (TO) (or rejoined) JESUS, AND TOLD HIM ALL THINGS, BOTH WHAT THEY HAD DONE, AND WHAT THEY HAD TAUGHT.
Mk 6:31. AND HE SAID (TO) THEM, COME YE YOURSELVES APART (or alone) (with Me) INTO A (DESERTED) (or quiet) PLACE, AND REST A WHILE: FOR THERE WERE MANY (people) COMING AND GOING, AND THEY HAD NO (TIME) (or chance) SO MUCH AS TO EAT.
Mk 6:32. AND THEY DEPARTED INTO A (DESERTED) (or isolated) PLACE BY (BOAT) PRIVATELY (or by themselves).
Mk 6:33. AND THE (many) PEOPLE SAW THEM DEPARTING, AND MANY (RECOGNIZED) HIM, AND RAN (ON FOOT) (FROM) OUT OF ALL CITIES, AND (GOT THERE AHEAD OF) THEM, AND CAME TOGETHER (TO) HIM.
Mk 6:34. AND JESUS, WHEN HE (LANDED) (or went ashore), SAW (A LARGE CROWD), AND (He) WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE AS SHEEP NOT HAVING A SHEPHERD: AND (so) HE BEGAN TO TEACH THEM MANY THINGS.

Lk 9:10. AND THE APOSTLES (or emissaries), WHEN THEY WERE RETURNED (to Jesus), TOLD HIM ALL THAT THEY HAD DONE. AND HE TOOK THEM (with Him), AND (WITHDREW) PRIVATELY INTO A (DESERTED) PLACE BELONGING TO THE CITY CALLED BETHSAIDA.
Lk 9:11. AND THE (CROWDS), WHEN THEY (FOUND OUT), (they) FOLLOWED HIM: AND HE RECEIVED THEM, AND (SPOKE) (TO) THEM OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HEALED THEM THAT HAD NEED OF HEALING.

Jn 6:1. (Some time) AFTER (THIS) JESUS (CROSSED) OVER (to the other side of-NASB) THE SEA OF GALILEE, WHICH IS THE SEA OF TIBERIAS.
Jn 6:2. AND A GREAT (CROWD) FOLLOWED HIM, BECAUSE THEY SAW HIS MIRACLES (or signs) WHICH HE (PERFORMED) ON THEM THAT WERE DISEASED (or sick).
Jn 6:3. AND JESUS WENT UP INTO (THE HILLS), AND THERE HE SAT (down) WITH HIS DISCIPLES.
Jn 6:4. AND THE PASSOVER, A FEAST (or festival) OF THE JEWS, WAS (NEAR).

Mt 14:15. AND WHEN IT WAS EVENING (or as evening approached), HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM, SAYING, THIS IS A DESERT (or desolate, or remote) PLACE, AND THE TIME IS NOW (already) PAST (or it’s getting late); (so) SEND THE (CROWDS) AWAY, (so) THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE VILLAGES, AND BUY THEMSELVES (SOME FOOD).
Mt 14:16. BUT JESUS SAID (TO) THEM, THEY NEED NOT (GO AWAY); (YOU GIVE THEM) (something) TO EAT.
Mt 14:17. AND THEY SAY (TO) HIM, WE HAVE HERE BUT FIVE LOAVES (of bread), AND TWO (FISH).
Mt 14:18. HE SAID, BRING THEM (HERE) TO ME.
Mt 14:19. AND HE COMMANDED THE (PEOPLE) TO SIT DOWN ON THE GRASS, AND TOOK THE FIVE LOAVES, AND THE TWO (FISH), AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN, HE BLESSED (the food), AND BRAKE (the loaves), AND GAVE THE LOAVES TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND THE DISCIPLES TO THE (PEOPLE).
Mt 14:20. AND THEY DID ALL EAT (as much as they wanted), AND WERE (SATISFIED): AND THEY (PICKED) UP OF THE (BROKEN PIECES) THAT REMAINED (or was left over) TWELVE BASKETS FULL.
Mt 14:21. AND (THE NUMBER OF THOSE) THAT HAD EATEN WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN, BESIDE WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

Mk 6:35. AND WHEN THE DAY WAS (ALREADY QUITE LATE), HIS DISCIPLES CAME (TO) HIM, AND SAID, THIS IS A DESERT (or desolate) (or remote) PLACE, AND NOW THE TIME IS (LATE):
Mk 6:36. SEND (THE PEOPLE) AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE (SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE) (or farms), AND INTO THE VILLAGES (or towns), AND BUY THEMSELVES (SOMETHING TO EAT): FOR THEY HAVE NOTHING TO EAT.
Mk 6:37. HE ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, GIVE (YOU) THEM (something) TO EAT. AND THEY (SAID) (TO) HIM, SHALL WE GO AND BUY TWO HUNDRED PENNYWORTH (or denarii) (worth) OF BREAD, AND GIVE THEM (something) TO EAT (or He answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to Him, "That would take eight months of a man’s wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"-NIV)?
Mk 6:38. HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, HOW MANY LOAVES HAVE (YOU)? GO AND SEE. AND WHEN THEY (FOUND OUT), THEY (SAID), FIVE, AND TWO (FISH).
Mk 6:39. AND HE (DIRECTED) THEM TO MAKE ALL (the people) SIT DOWN BY (GROUPS) UPON THE GREEN GRASS.
Mk 6:40. AND THEY SAT DOWN IN (GROUPS), BY HUNDREDS, AND BY FIFTIES.
Mk 6:41. AND WHEN HE HAD TAKEN THE FIVE LOAVES AND THE TWO (FISH), HE LOOKED UP TO HEAVEN, AND BLESSED (the food), AND (BROKE) THE LOAVES, AND GAVE THEM TO HIS DISCIPLES TO (DISTRIBUTE) BEFORE THEM; AND THE TWO (FISH) DIVIDED HE AMONG THEM ALL.
Mk 6:42. AND THEY DID ALL EAT, AND WERE FILLED (or satisfied, or all ate as much as they wanted-JNT).
Mk 6:43. AND (THE DISCIPLES) (PICKED) UP TWELVE BASKETS FULL OF THE (BROKEN PIECES) (of bread), AND (also) OF THE (FISH).
Mk 6:44. AND THEY THAT DID EAT OF THE LOAVES WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN.

Lk 9:12. AND (LATE IN THE AFTERNOON), THEN CAME THE TWELVE, AND SAID (TO) HIM, SEND THE MULTITUDE AWAY, THAT THEY MAY GO INTO THE (SURROUNDING VILLAGES) AND COUNTRY ROUND ABOUT (or farms), AND LODGE, AND GET (FOOD) (or provisions): FOR WE ARE HERE IN A DESERT (or desolate, or remote, or deserted) PLACE.
Lk 9:13. BUT HE SAID (TO) THEM, (YOU GIVE) THEM (something) TO EAT. AND THEY SAID, WE HAVE NO MORE BUT FIVE LOAVES (of bread) AND TWO (FISH); EXCEPT WE SHOULD GO AND BUY (FOOD) FOR ALL THIS (CROWD).
Lk 9:14. FOR (THERE) WERE ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND MEN. AND HE SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, MAKE THEM SIT DOWN BY FIFTIES (to eat) IN (GROUPS).
Lk 9:15. AND THEY DID (WHAT HE HAD TOLD THEM-JNT), AND MADE THEM ALL SIT DOWN.
Lk 9:16. THEN HE TOOK THE FIVE LOAVES AND THE TWO (FISH), AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN, HE BLESSED THEM, AND (BROKE) (them), AND (BEGAN GIVING) (or kept giving) (them) TO THE DISCIPLES TO (DISTRIBUTE) BEFORE THE MULTITUDE.
Lk 9:17. AND THEY DID EAT, AND WERE ALL (SATISFIED): AND THERE WAS (PICKED) UP OF (the) (BROKEN PIECES) THAT REMAINED (or were left over) TO THEM TWELVE BASKETS (full).

Jn 6:5. WHEN JESUS THEN LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAW A GREAT (CROWD) COME (TOWARD) HIM, HE (SAID) (TO) PHILIP, (WHERE) SHALL WE (be able to) BUY BREAD, THAT THESE (people) MAY EAT?
Jn 6:6. AND THIS HE SAID TO (TEST) HIM: FOR HE HIMSELF (already) KNEW WHAT HE WOULD DO.
Jn 6:7. PHILIP ANSWERED HIM, TWO HUNDRED PENNYWORTH (or denarii) (or half a year’s wages-JNT) OF BREAD IS NOT (ENOUGH) FOR THEM, THAT EVERY ONE OF THEM MAY TAKE A LITTLE (bite).
Jn 6:8. ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES, ANDREW, SIMON PETER'S BROTHER, (SAID) (TO) HIM,
Jn 6:9. THERE IS A (YOUNG FELLOW) HERE, WHICH (HAS) FIVE BARLEY LOAVES (of…bread), AND TWO SMALL (FISH): BUT WHAT ARE THEY AMONG SO MANY (people)?
Jn 6:10. AND JESUS SAID, MAKE THE (PEOPLE) SIT DOWN. NOW THERE WAS (A LOT OF) GRASS IN THE PLACE. SO THE MEN SAT DOWN, IN NUMBER ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND (of them).
Jn 6:11. AND JESUS TOOK THE LOAVES (of bread); AND WHEN HE HAD GIVEN THANKS, HE DISTRIBUTED TO THE DISCIPLES, AND THE DISCIPLES TO THEM THAT WERE SET DOWN; AND LIKEWISE (He did the same-NIV) (WITH) THE (FISH) AS MUCH AS THEY (WANTED).
Jn 6:12. (And) WHEN THEY WERE FILLED, HE SAID (TO) HIS DISCIPLES, GATHER UP THE (leftover) FRAGMENTS (or pieces) THAT REMAIN, THAT NOTHING (may) BE LOST (or wasted).
Jn 6:13. THEREFORE THEY GATHERED THEM TOGETHER, AND FILLED TWELVE BASKETS WITH THE FRAGMENTS (or pieces) OF THE FIVE BARLEY LOAVES, WHICH REMAINED (LEFT OVER) (BY) THEM THAT HAD EATEN.

Mt 14:22. AND (IMMEDIATELY) JESUS (MADE) HIS DISCIPLES TO GET INTO A (BOAT), AND TO GO (AHEAD OF) HIM (TO) THE OTHER SIDE, WHILE HE SENT THE (CROWDS) AWAY.
Mt 14:23. AND WHEN HE HAD SENT THE MULTITUDES AWAY, HE WENT UP INTO A MOUNTAIN (or mountainside, or the hills) (BY HIMSELF) TO PRAY: AND WHEN THE (NIGHT CAME ON), HE WAS THERE ALONE.

Mk 6:45. AND (IMMEDIATELY) HE (MADE) HIS DISCIPLES TO GET INTO THE (BOAT), AND TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE BEFORE (Him) (TO) (or toward) BETHSAIDA, WHILE HE (Himself) SENT AWAY THE (MULTITUDE).
Mk 6:46. AND WHEN HE HAD SENT THEM AWAY (or after bidding them farewell-NASB), HE DEPARTED INTO A MOUNTAIN (side) (or the hills) TO PRAY.

Jn 6:14. THEN THOSE (PEOPLE), WHEN THEY HAD SEEN THE MIRACLE (or miraculous sign) THAT JESUS DID, SAID, THIS IS OF A TRUTH THAT PROPHET THAT SHOULD COME INTO THE WORLD.
Jn 6:15. WHEN JESUS THEREFORE PERCEIVED THAT THEY WOULD COME AND TAKE HIM BY FORCE, TO MAKE HIM A KING, HE DEPARTED AGAIN (TO) (THE HILLS). (This time He went-JNT) (by) HIMSELF ALONE.

Jn 6:16. AND WHEN (EVENING) WAS NOW COME, HIS DISCIPLES WENT DOWN (TO) THE (LAKE),
Jn 6:17. AND (they) ENTERED INTO A (BOAT), AND WENT OVER THE (LAKE) TOWARD CAPERNAUM. AND IT WAS NOW DARK, AND JESUS WAS NOT (yet) COME TO THEM.
Note: it appears the disciples had come to Bethsaida as Jesus had told them to do (ref Mk 6:45,46), but He did not show up. Now they go down into the lake, enter a boat, and head to Capernaum hoping to find Jesus there.

Mt 14:24. BUT THE (BOAT) WAS NOW IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA (or already a considerable distance from land-NIV, or several miles from shore-JNT), TOSSED (or battered, or battling) WITH (the) (rough) WAVES: (BECAUSE) THE WIND (or headwind) WAS (AGAINST IT).
Mt 14:25. AND (DURING) THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT (or around four o’clock in the morning-JNT) JESUS WENT (out) (TO) THEM, WALKING ON THE (LAKE).
Mt 14:26. AND WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAW HIM WALKING ON THE (LAKE), THEY WERE TROUBLED (or frightened, or terrified), SAYING, IT IS A SPIRIT (or ghost); AND THEY (SCREAMED) OUT FOR FEAR.
Mt 14:27. BUT (IMMEDIATELY) JESUS (SPOKE) (TO) THEM, SAYING, BE OF GOOD CHEER (TAKE COURAGE); IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID.
Mt 14:28. AND PETER ANSWERED HIM AND SAID, LORD, IF IT BE (YOU), (TELL) ME COME (TO) (YOU) ON THE WATER.
Mt 14:29. AND HE SAID, COME. AND WHEN PETER WAS COME DOWN OUT OF THE (BOAT), HE WALKED ON THE WATER, TO GO (TOWARD) JESUS.
Mt 14:30. BUT WHEN HE SAW THE WIND BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK, HE CRIED (or yelled), SAYING, LORD, SAVE ME.
Mt 14:31. AND IMMEDIATELY JESUS (REACHED OUT) HIS HAND, AND (TOOK HOLD OF) HIM, AND SAID (TO) HIM, O (YOU) OF LITTLE FAITH (or trust), WHEREFORE (DID) (YOU) DOUBT?
Mt 14:32. AND WHEN THEY WERE COME INTO THE (BOAT), THE WIND (STOPPED).
Mt 14:33. THEN THEY THAT WERE IN THE (BOAT) CAME AND (FELL DOWN BEFORE) HIM, SAYING, (TRULY) (YOU) (ARE) (certainly) THE SON OF GOD.

Mk 6:47. AND WHEN (EVENING) (or night) WAS COME, THE (BOAT) WAS IN THE (MIDDLE) OF THE (LAKE), AND HE (was) ALONE ON THE LAND.
Mk 6:48. AND HE SAW THEM TOILING (or straining, or having difficulty) IN ROWING (at the oars); FOR THE WIND WAS (AGAINST) THEM: AND ABOUT THE FOURTH WATCH OF THE NIGHT (or around four o’clock in the morning-JNT) HE (CAME) (TO) THEM, WALKING UPON THE (LAKE), AND WOULD HAVE PASSED BY THEM (or He meant to come alongside them-JNT).
Mk 6:49. BUT WHEN THEY SAW HIM WALKING UPON THE (LAKE) (or water), THEY (THOUGHT) IT HAD BEEN A SPIRIT (or ghost), AND (they) CRIED OUT:
Mk 6:50. FOR THEY ALL SAW HIM, AND WERE (TERRIFIED). AND IMMEDIATELY HE TALKED WITH THEM, AND (SAID) (TO) THEM, (TAKE COURAGE): IT IS I; (STOP BEING) AFRAID.
Mk 6:51. AND HE (CLIMBED) UP (TO) THEM INTO THE (BOAT); AND THE WIND CEASED: AND THEY WERE (GREATLY ASTONISHED) IN THEMSELVES BEYOND MEASURE, AND WONDERED (or marveled).
Mk 6:52. FOR THEY CONSIDERED NOT THE MIRACLE OF THE LOAVES (or they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves-NASB): FOR THEIR HEART WAS HARDENED (or had been made stonelike-JNT).

Jn 6:18. AND THE SEA AROSE (and…grew rough) BY REASON OF A (STRONG) WIND THAT BLEW.
Jn 6:19. SO WHEN THEY HAD ROWED ABOUT (THREE OR FOUR MILES-NASB), THEY (SAW) JESUS WALKING ON THE (WATER), AND DRAWING (NEAR) (TO) THE (BOAT): AND THEY WERE AFRAID.
Jn 6:20. BUT HE (SAID) (TO) THEM, IT IS I; BE NOT AFRAID.
Jn 6:21. THEN THEY WILLINGLY RECEIVED HIM INTO THE (BOAT): AND IMMEDIATELY THE (BOAT) WAS AT THE LAND (WHERE) THEY (WERE GOING).
(Note: the place where it appeared they were going was Capernaum)

Jn 6:22. THE DAY FOLLOWING, WHEN THE PEOPLE WHICH STOOD ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA SAW THAT THERE WAS (NO) OTHER BOAT THERE, (EXCEPT) THAT ONE (THAT) HIS DISCIPLES WERE ENTERED (into), AND THAT JESUS WENT NOT WITH HIS DISCIPLES INTO THE BOAT, BUT THAT HIS DISCIPLES (HAD) GONE AWAY ALONE;
Jn 6:23. (HOWBEIT THERE CAME OTHER BOATS FROM TIBERIAS [AND LANDED NEAR] THE PLACE WHERE THEY DID EAT [the] BREAD, AFTER THAT THE LORD HAD GIVEN THANKS:) (Note-Jesus is not at the place where they ate the bread.)
Jn 6:24. WHEN THE PEOPLE THEREFORE SAW THAT JESUS WAS NOT THERE, NEITHER HIS DISCIPLES, THEY ALSO (GOT INTO BOATS), AND CAME TO CAPERNAUM, SEEKING FOR JESUS.
Jn 6:25. AND WHEN THEY HAD FOUND HIM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA, THEY SAID (TO) HIM, RABBI, WHEN (DID YOU COME HERE-NKJV)?
Jn 6:26. JESUS ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, (YES, INDEED), I SAY (TO) YOU (the truth), (YOU) SEEK ME, NOT BECAUSE (YOU) SAW THE MIRACLES (or miraculous signs), BUT BECAUSE (YOU) DID EAT OF THE LOAVES, AND (HAD ALL YOU WANTED!-JNT).
Jn 6:27. (DO NOT WORK) FOR THE (FOOD) WHICH (PERISHES) (or spoils, or passes away), BUT FOR THAT (FOOD) WHICH (ENDURES) (or stays on) (TO) EVERLASTING LIFE, WHICH THE SON OF MAN SHALL GIVE (TO) YOU: FOR (on) HIM (HAS) GOD THE FATHER (SET HIS SEAL).
Jn 6:28. THEN SAID THEY (TO) HIM, WHAT SHALL WE DO, THAT WE MIGHT WORK THE WORKS OF GOD (or what should we do in order to perform-JNT) (the works God requires-NIV)?

Jn 6:30. THEY SAID THEREFORE (TO) HIM, WHAT (miraculous) SIGN (WILL YOU GIVE) THEN, THAT WE MAY SEE (it), AND BELIEVE (or trust) (YOU)? WHAT (WILL) (YOU) (DO) (or perform)?
Jn 6:31. OUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA IN THE DESERT (or wilderness); AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT
