First Kings -- 16

{1} Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
{2} Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
{3} Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
{4} Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
{5} Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
{6} So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
{7} And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
{8} In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
{9} And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
{10} And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
{11} And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
{12} Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
{13} For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
{14} Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
{15} In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
{16} And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
{17} And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
{18} And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
{19} For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
{20} Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
{21} Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
{22} But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
{23} In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
{24} And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
{25} But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
{26} For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
{27} Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
{28} So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
{29} And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
{30} And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
{31} And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
{32} And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
{33} And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
{34} In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

First Kings -- 17

{1} And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
{2} And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
{3} Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
{4} And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
{5} So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
{6} And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
{7} And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
{8} And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
{9} Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
{10} So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
{11} And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
{12} And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
{13} And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
{14} For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
{15} And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
{16} And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
{17} And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
{18} And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
{19} And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
{20} And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
{21} And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
{22} And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
{23} And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
{24} And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.

First Kings -- 18

{1} And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
{2} And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
{3} And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
{4} For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
{5} And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
{6} So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
{7} And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
{8} And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
{9} And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
{10} As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
{11} And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
{12} And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
{13} Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
{14} And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
{15} And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
{16} So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
{17} And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
{18} And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
{19} Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
{20} So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
{21} And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
{22} Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
{23} Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
{24} And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
{25} And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
{26} And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
{27} And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
{28} And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
{29} And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
{30} And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
{31} And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
{32} And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
{33} And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
{34} And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
{35} And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
{36} And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
{37} Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
{38} Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
{39} And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
{40} And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
{41} And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
{42} So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
{43} And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
{44} And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
{45} And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
{46} And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

John -- 5

{1} After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
{2} Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
{3} In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
{4} For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
{5} And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
{6} When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
{7} The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
{8} Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
{9} And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
{10} The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
{11} He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
{12} Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
{13} And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
{14} Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
{15} The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
{16} And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
{17} But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
{18} Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
{19} Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
{20} For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
{21} For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
{22} For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
{23} That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
{24} Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
{25} Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
{26} For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
{27} And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
{28} Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
{29} And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
{30} I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
{31} If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
{32} There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
{33} Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
{34} But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
{35} He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
{36} But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
{37} And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
{38} And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
{39} Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
{40} And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
{41} I receive not honour from men.
{42} But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
{43} I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
{44} How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
{45} Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
{46} For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
{47} But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
