In the days of the Roman Empire

Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign,
Nebuchadnezzar had dreams and his spirit was so
troubled that his sleep left him. Then the king
gave the command to call the magicians, the
astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to
tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood
before the king.

And the king said to them, "I have had a dream,
and my spirit is anxious to know the dream." Then
the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic, "O
king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream,
and we will give the interpretation."

The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, "My
decision is firm if you do not make known the
dream to me, and its interpretation, you shall be
cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an
ash heap.

"However, if you tell the dream and its
interpretation, you shall receive from me gifts,
rewards, and great honor. Therefore tell me the
dream and its interpretation."
They answered again and said, "Let the king tell
his servants the dream, and we will give its
interpretation."

The king answered and said, "I know for certain
that you would gain time, because you see that my
decision is firm if you do not make known the
dream to me, there is only one decree for you!
For you have agreed to speak lying and corrupt
words before me till the time has changed.
Therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know
that you can give me its interpretation."

The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, "There
is not a man on earth who can tell the king's
matter therefore no king, lord, or ruler has
ever asked such things of any magician,
astrologer, or Chaldean. It is a difficult thing
that the king requests, and there is no other who
can tell it to the king except the gods, whose
dwelling is not with flesh."

For this reason the king was angry and very
furious, and gave a command to destroy all the
wise men of Babylon. So the decree went out, and
they began killing the wise men and they sought
Daniel and his companions, to kill them.

Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered
Arioch, the captain of the king's guard, who had
gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon he
answered and said to Arioch the king's captain,
"Why is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then
Arioch made the decision known to Daniel. So
Daniel went in and asked the king to give him
time, that he might tell the king the
interpretation.

Then Daniel went to his house, and made the
decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
his companions, that they might seek mercies from
the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that
Daniel and his companions might not perish with
the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the
secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision.

So Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Daniel
answered and said "Blessed be the name of God
forever and ever, For wisdom and might are His.
And He changes the times and the seasons He
removes kings and raises up kings He gives
wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who
have understanding.

He reveals deep and secret things He knows what
is in the darkness, And light dwells with Him. "I
thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers
You have given me wisdom and might, And have now
made known to me what we asked of You, For You
have made known to us the king's demand."

Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king
had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon.
He went and said thus to him "Do not destroy the
wise men of Babylon take me before the king, and
I will tell the king the interpretation."

Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the
king, and said thus to him, "I have found a man
of the captives of Judah, who will make known to
the king the interpretation." The king answered
and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar,
"Are you able to make known to me the dream which
I have seen, and its interpretation?"

Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and
said, "The secret which the king has demanded,
the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and
the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. But
there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and
He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what
will be in the latter days.

Your dream, and the visions of your head upon
your bed, were these As for you, O king,
thoughts came to your mind while on your bed,
about what would come to pass after this and He
who reveals secrets has made known to you what
will be.

"But as for me, this secret has not been revealed
to me because I have more wisdom than anyone
living, but for our sakes who make known the
interpretation to the king, and that you may know
the thoughts of your heart.

"You, O king, were watching and behold, a great
image! This great image, whose splendor was
excellent, stood before you and its form was
awesome. This image's head was of fine gold, its
chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of
bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron
and partly of clay.

"You watched while a stone was cut out without
hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron
and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the
iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the
gold were crushed together, and became like chaff
from the summer threshing floors the wind
carried them away so that no trace of them was
found.

"And the stone that struck the image became a
great mountain and filled the whole earth. This
is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation
of it before the king.

"You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of
heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength,
and glory and wherever the children of men
dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds
of the heaven, He has given them into your hand,
and has made you ruler over them all--you are
this head of gold.

"But after you shall arise another kingdom
inferior to yours then another, a third kingdom
of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as
iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and
shatters everything and like iron that crushes,
that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all
the others.

"Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of
potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom
shall be divided yet the strength of the iron
shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed
with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet
were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the
kingdom shall be partly strong and partly
fragile.

"As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they
will mingle with the seed of men but they will
not adhere to one another, just as iron does not
mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the
God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be
left to other people it shall break in pieces
and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall
stand forever.

"Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out
of the mountain without hands, and that it broke
in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the
silver, and the gold--the great God has made
known to the king what will come to pass after
this. The dream is certain, and its
interpretation is sure."

In the days of the Roman Empire
At Jerusalem

Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That
the mountain of the Lord's house Shall be
established on the top of the mountains, And
shall be exalted above the hills And all nations
shall flow to it.

Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us
go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house
of the God of Jacob He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion
shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord
from Jerusalem.

He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke
many people They shall beat their swords into
plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

"And it shall come to pass afterward That I will
pour out My Spirit on all flesh Your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall
dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

"And also on My menservants and on My
maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those
days. And I will show wonders in the heavens and
in the earth Blood and fire and pillars of
smoke.

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the
moon into blood, Before the coming of the great
and awesome day of the Lord.

"And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on
the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount
Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance,
As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the
Lord calls."

John Jesus

There was in the days of Herod, the king of
Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the
division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters
of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

And they were both righteous before God, walking
in all the commandments and ordinances of the
Lord blameless. But they had no child, because
Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well
advanced in years.

So it was, that while he was serving as priest
before God in the order of his division,
according to the custom of the priesthood, his
lot fell to burn incense when he went into the
temple of the Lord.

And the whole multitude of the people was praying
outside at the hour of incense. Then an angel of
the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right
side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias
saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid,
Zacharias, for your prayer is heard and your
wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall
call his name John. And you will have joy and
gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

"For he will be great in the sight of the Lord,
and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He
will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even
from his mother's womb. And he will turn many of
the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

"He will also go before Him in the spirit and
power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to
the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord."

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent
by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David.

The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in,
the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored
one, the Lord is with you blessed are you among
women!"

But when she saw him, she was troubled at his
saying, and considered what manner of greeting
this was.

Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid,
Mary, for you have found favor with God.

"And behold, you will conceive in your womb and
bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

"He will be great, and will be called the Son of
the Highest and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of His father David.

"And He will reign over the house of Jacob
forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

And it came to pass in those days that a decree
went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be registered.

This census first took place while Quirinius was
governing Syria. So all went to be registered,
everyone to his own city.

Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city
of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem,

because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife,
who was with child.

So it was, that while they were there, the days
were completed for her to be delivered.

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and
wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in
a manger, because there was no room for them in
the inn.

In those days John the Baptist came preaching in
the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"

Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in
prison, He departed to Galilee.

And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in
Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of
Zebulun and Naphtali,

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Isaiah the prophet, saying

"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of
the Gentiles

"The people who sat in darkness have seen a great
light, And upon those who sat in the region and
shadow of death Light has dawned."

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say,
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

John Jesus
The limited commission

And when He had called His twelve disciples to
Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to
cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness
and all kinds of disease.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these
first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his
brother James the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother

Philip and Bartholomew Thomas and Matthew the
tax collector James the son of Alphaeus, and
Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus

Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed Him.

These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them,
saying "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles,
and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.

"But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, 'The
kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received,
freely give.

After these things the Lord appointed seventy
others also, and sent them two by two before His
face into every city and place where He Himself
was about to go.

Then He said to them, "The harvest truly is
great, but the laborers are few therefore pray
the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into
His harvest.

"Go your way behold, I send you out as lambs
among wolves. Carry neither money bag, knapsack,
nor sandals and greet no one along the road.

"But whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace
to this house.' And if a son of peace is there,
your peace will rest on it if not, it will
return to you.

"And remain in the same house, eating and
drinking such things as they give, for the
laborer is worthy of his wages.

"Do not go from house to house. Whatever city you
enter, and they receive you, eat such things as
are set before you.

"And heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The
kingdom of God has come near to you.'

"But whatever city you enter, and they do not
receive you, go out into its streets and say,
'The very dust of your city which clings to us we
wipe off against you.

" 'Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of
God has come near you.' "

John Jesus
The Limited Commission
The Facts of the Gospel

Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel
which I preached to you, which also you received
and in which you stand, by which also you are
saved, if you hold fast that word which I
preached to you--unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I
also received that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, and that He was
buried, and that He rose again the third day
according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen
by Cephas, then by the twelve.

After that He was seen by over five hundred
brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain
to the present, but some have fallen asleep.
After that He was seen by James, then by all the
apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me
also, as by one born out of due time.

In the Days of the Roman Empire

And it came to pass in those days that a decree
went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world
should be registered. This census first took
place while Quirinius was governing Syria.

Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of
Judea, Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, his
brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and the region
of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene,

while Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the
word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in
the wilderness.

At Jerusalem

And He opened their understanding, that they
might comprehend the Scriptures.

Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and
thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer
and to rise from the dead the third day, and that
repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in His name to all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem."

And being assembled together with them, He
commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but
to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which,"
He said, "you have heard from Me

"for John truly baptized with water, but you
shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many
days from now."

Now when He had spoken these things, while they
watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received
Him out of their sight.

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount
called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath
day's journey.

And when they had entered, they went up into the
upper room where they were staying Peter, James,
John, and Andrew Philip and Thomas Bartholomew
and Matthew James the son of Alphaeus and Simon
the Zealot and Judas the son of James.

And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you
that there are some standing here who will not
taste death till they see the kingdom of God
present with power."

101

Therefore, when they had come together, they
asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time
restore the kingdom to Israel?" And He said to
them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons
which the Father has put in His own authority.

102

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit
has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to
Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the end of the earth."

103

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place. And
suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting.

104

Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as
of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.
