not in temples made with hands, neither is worshipped with mens hands, as though

THE
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES Chpt 17 As they made their journey through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to
Thessalonica where was a Synagogue of the Jewes. And Paul as his manner was went
in unto them, and three Saboth days declared out of the scripture unto them,
opening and alleging that Christ must needs have suffered and risen again from
death, and that this Jesus was Christ, whom (said he) I preach to you. And some
of them believed and came and companied with Paul and Silas: also of the
honorable Greeks a great multitude and of the chief women, not a few.
But the Jewes which believed not having
indignation, took unto them evil men which were vagabonds, and gathered a
company, and set all the city on a roar, and made assault unto the house of
Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. But when they found them
not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the heads of the city crying:
these that trouble the world are come hither also which Jason hath received
privily. And these all do contrary to the elders of Cesar, affirming another
king, one Jesus. And they troubled the people and the officers of the city, when
they heard these things. And when they were sufficiently answered of Jason and
of the other, they let them go.
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul
and Silas by night unto Berrea. Which when they were come thither, they entered
into the Synagogue of the Jews. These were the noblest of birth among them of
Thessalonica, which received the word with all diligence of mind, and searched
the scriptures daily whether those things were even so. And many of them
believed: also of worshipful women which were Greeks, and of men not a few. When
the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul
at Berrea, they came there and moved the people. And then by and by the brethren
sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there
still. And they that guided Paul, brought him unto Athens, and received a
commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him at once, and came their
way. While Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was moved in him, to see
the city given to worshipping of images. Then he disputed in the synagogue with
the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that
came unto him. Certain Philosophers of the Epicures and of the Stoicks, disputed
with him. And some there were which said: what will this babbler say? Other
said: he seemeth to be a tidings bringer of new devils, because he preached unto
them Jesus and the resurrection. And they took him, and brought him into Marce
street saying: may we not know what this new doctrine whereof thou speakest, is?
For thou bringest strange tidings to our ears. We would know therefore what
these things mean. For all the Athenians and strangers which were there, gave
themselves to nothing else, but either to tell or to hear new tidings.
Paul stood in the midst of Marce street and
said: ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
For as I passed by and beheld the manner how ye worship your gods, I found an
altar wherein was written: unto the unknown God. Whom ye then ignorantly worship
him show I unto you: God that made the world and all that are in it, seeing that
he is Lord of heaven and earth, he dwelleth not in temples made with hands,
neither is worshipped with mens hands, as though he needed of any thing, seeing
he himself giveth life and breath to all men everywhere, and hath made of one
blood all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath
assigned before, how long time, and also the ends of their inhabitation, that
they should seek God, if they might feel and find him, though he be not far from
every one of us. For in him we live, move and have your being, as certain
of your own Poets said. For we are also his generation. For as much then as
we are the generation of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like
unto gold, silver or stone, graven by craft and imagination of man.
And the time of this ignorance God regarded
not. but now he biddeth all men everywhere repent, because he hath appointed a
day, in the which he will judge the world according to righteousness, by that
man whom he hath appointed, and hath offered faith to all men, after that he had
raised him from death.
When they heard of the resurrection from
death, some mocked, and other said: we will hear thee again of this matter. So
Paul departed from among them. How be it certain men clave unto Paul and
believed, among the which was Dionysius a senator, and a woman named Damaris,
and other with them
THE
THIRD BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 4
THE
THIRD BOOK OF ESDRAS Chpt 4 Then the second which had said, that the king was stronger, began to speak,
saying: O ye men, are not they the strongest and most excellent, that conquer
the land and the sea, and all that is in the sea and in the earth? Now is the
King lord of all these things, and hath dominion of them all: and look what he
commandeth is done. If he send his men forth a warfare, they go, and break down
hills, walls and towns. They are slain, and slay ( other men ) themselves, and
overpass not the Kings word. If they get the victory they bring the King all the
spoil. Like wise the other that meddle not with wars and fighting, but till the
ground: when they reap, they bring tribute unto the King. And if the King alone
do but command to kill, they kill: if he command to forgive, they forgive: If he
command to smite, they smite: if he command to drive away, they drive away: if
he command to build, they build: If he command to break down, they break down:
if he command to plant, they plant. The common people and the rulers are
obedient unto him. And the King in the mean season sitteth him down, eateth, and
drinketh, and taketh his rest: Then keep they watch round about the King, and
not one of them dare get him out of the way, to do his own business, but must be
obedient unto the King at a word. Judge ye now, O ye men, how should not he go
far above, unto whom men are this obedient? And when he had spoken this, he held
his tongue. The third whose name was Zorobabel, which had spoken of women and of
truth, began to say after this manner: O ye men, it is not the great king, it is
not the multitude of men, neither is it wine that excelleth: Who is it then that
hath the lordship over them? Have not women borne the king, and all the people
that rule those things? Have not women born them, and brought them up, that
plant the vines, where out the wine cometh? They make the garments for all men,
they give honor unto all men, and without women can not men live. If they gather
gold and silver and all precious things, and see a fair well favored woman, they
leave all together, and turn their eyes only unto the woman, and gape upon her,
and have more desire unto her, then unto the silver and gold, or any manner of
precious thing. A man leaveth his father that brought him up, he leaveth his own
natural country, and cleaveth unto the woman: yee he jeopardizeth his life with
the woman, and remembereth neither father, ner mother, ner country. By this then
yee must needs know, that women have the dominion over you. Doth it grieve you?
A man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to steal, to kill, to murder to sail
upon the sea, and seeth a lion, and goeth in the darkness: and when he hath
stolen, deceived and robbed, he bringeth it unto his love. Again, a man loveth
his wife better then father and mother: yee many one there be, that run out of
their wits, and become bondmen for their wives sakes: many one also have
perished, and have been slain, and have sinned because of women. *faine (obliged / willing happy) What preferment than hath the Jewe? other what advantageth
circumcision? Surely very much. First unto them was committed the word of God.
What then though some of them did not believe? shall their unbelief make the
promise of God without effect? God forbid. Let God be true, and all men liars,
as it is written: That thou mightest be justified in thy saying and shouldest
overcome when thou art judged. *Jesu: Jesus from the Hebrew ST.
PAUL TO THE ROMANS Chpt 10 Brethren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might
be saved. For I bear them record that they have a fervent mind to God ward, but
not according to knowledge. For they are ignorant of the righteousness which is
allowed before God, and go about to establish their own righteousness and
therefore are not obedient unto the righteousness which is of value before God.
For Christ is the end of the law, to justify all that believe. THE
FIRST TO THE CORINTHIANS Chpt 11 I commend you brethren that ye remember me in all things, and keep the
ordinances even as I delivered them to you. I would ye knew that Christ is the
head of every man. And the man is the womans head. And God is Christs head.
Every man praying or prophesying having any thing on his head, shameth his head.
Every woman that prayeth or prophesieth bare headed, dishonesteth her head. For
it is even all one, and the very same thing, even as though she were shaven. If
the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn. If it be shame for a woman to
be shorn or shaven, let her cover her head. There were tyrants in the world in those days. For after that the
children of God had gone in unto the daughters of men, and had begotten them
children, the same children were the mightiest of the world, and men of renown.
And when the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was increased upon the earth,
and that all the imagination and thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually, he repented that he had made man upon the earth, and
sorrowed in his heart. And said: I will destroy mankind which I have made, from
off the face of the earth: both man, beast, worm and fowl of the air, for it
repenteth me that I have made them. But yet Noe found grace in the sight of
the Lord. THE
GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 25 When the son of man cometh in his glory, and all the holy angels
with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his glory, and before him shall
be gathered all nations. And he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats. And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand, and the goats on the left. Then
shall the King say to them on his right hand: Come ye blessed children of my
father, inherit ye the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat. I thirsted, and ye gave me drink. I
was harborless, and ye lodged me. I was naked and ye clothed me. I was sick and
ye visited me. I was in prison and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous
answer him saying: master, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or a
thirst, and gave thee drink? when saw we thee harborless, and lodged thee? or
naked and clothed thee? or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto
thee? And the king shall answer and say unto them: Verily I say unto you: in as
much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done
it to me. The Lord hateth as well him that justifieth the ungodly,
as him that condemeth the innocent. Every man can *eschue a person moved to anger, for what he doth wisely?
Even so shall the Lord of Hosts take away from Jerusalem and from Juda, all
possessions and power, all meat and drink, the captain and the soldier, the
judge and the prophet, the wise and the aged man, the worshipful of fifty year
old, and the honorable: the Senators, and the men of understanding: the masters
of crafts and orators. And I shall give you children to be your princes,(
sayeth the Lord ) and babes shall have the rule of you. One shall ever be doing
violence and wrong to another. The boy will presume against the elder, and the
vile person against the honorable. Ye when one shall take a friend of his own
kindred by the bosom, and say: Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for
thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril.
Then shall he swear and say: I can not help you. Moreover, there is neither meat
nor clothing in my house, make me no ruler of the people. For Jerusalem and Juda
must decay, because both their words and counsel are against the Lord, they
provoke the presence of his Majesty unto anger. The changing of their
countenance betrayeth them, yee they declare their own sins themselves, as the
Sodomites, and hide them not. Woe be unto their souls, for they shall be heavily
rewarded. Then shall they say: O happy are the godly, for they may enjoy the
fruits of their studies. But woe be unto the ungodly and unrighteous for they
shall be rewarded after their works. O my people, *ribaudes oppress thee, and
women have rule of thee. O my people, thy leaders deceive thee, and tread out
the way of thy footsteps. The Lord is here to commune of the matter, and
standeth to give judgement with the people. The Lord shall come forth to reason
with the Senators and princes of his people, and shall say thus unto them: It is
ye that have burnt up my vineyard, the robbery of the poor is in your house.
Wherefore do ye oppress my people, and marred the faces of the innocents? thus
shall the Lord God of Hosts revile them.
Moreover thus sayeth the Lord: Seeing the daughters of Sion are become so proud,
and come in with stretched out necks, and with vain wanton eyes: seeing they
come in tripping so nicely with their feet: Therefore shall the Lord shave the
heads of the daughters of Sion, and make their beauty bare in the day. In that
day shall the Lord take away the gorgeousness of their apparel, and spangles,
chains, *partlets, and collars, bracelets and hooves, that goodly flowered wide
and boarded raiment, brushes and head bands, rings and garlands, holy day
clothes and veils, kerchiefs and pins, glasses and smocks, bonnets and *taches
And instead of good smell there shall be stink among them. And for their girdles
there shall be loose bands. And for well set hair there shall be baldness.
Instead of a stomacher, a sackcloth, and for their beauty witherdness and *son
burning. Their husbands and their mighty men shall perish with the sword in
battle.
*eschue (avoid, escape) *ribaudes
( extortioners :MN). *partlets = ruffled covering for the neck. *taches =
buckles, clasps, fasteners. *son burning exactly as recorded. Woe
be unto them that call evil good, and good evil: which make darkness light, and
light darkness, that make sour sweet, and sweet sour. Woe be unto them
that are wise in their own sight, and think themselves to have
understanding. Woe be unto them
that are conning men to sup out wine and expert to set up drunkenness. These
give sentence with the ungodly for rewards, but condemn the just cause of the
righteous. The Lord hateth as well him that
justifieth the ungodly, as him that condemeth the innocent. THE
FIRST OF THE MACHABEES Chpt 3 Then stood up Judas Macabeus in his fathers stead, and all his brethren
helped him: and so did all they that held with his father, and fought with
cheerfulness for Israel. So Judas gat his people great honor: He put on a
breastplate as a giant, and arrayed himself with his harness, and defended the
host with his sword. In his acts he was like a Lion, and as a lions whelp
roaring at his prey. He was an enemy to the wicked, and hunted them out: and
burnt up those that vexed his people. So that his enemies fled for fear of him,
and all the workers of ungodliness were put to trouble: such luck and prosperity
were in his hand. This grieved diverse kings, but Jacob was greatly rejoiced
through his acts, and he gat himself a great name forever. the congregation and ***church of the faithful *** truth is
: this word "church" has been added here and in Chapter 4 . 1) it to
the reader might be a warning: 2) for the warnings against the word
"church" is found in the OT (Oseas 8th chapter "they have
forgotten him that made them, they build churches," and Amos chapter 7
"but the high hill chapels of Isaac must be laid waste and the churches of
Israel made desolate: " 3) OF the NT the word "church" is only
found in one place in the entire original word of God, Acts Chapter 14, ...
"Then Jupiters priest, which dwelt before their city, brought oxen and
garlands unto the church porch, and would have done sacrifice with the
people." 4) incredibly, the word "church" is not found in the kjv
in same verse where it is found in the original Word. 5) this word was inserted
into the text of the jkv 79 times; all in the NT. 6) In most cases (NT) the word
"congregation" was replaced by the word "church" in newer
versions. 7) The Hebrew word "congregation" never, in any case, refers
to a building. and others of a similitude ... "racism

And now believe me, I know a King which is
great in his power, and all lands stand in awe of him, and no man dare lay hand
upon him: yet did I see, that Apame (the daughter of the great King Bartacus )
the Kings concubine, sat beside the King upon the right hand, and took off his
crown from his head, and set it upon her own head, and smote the King with her
left hand. Moreover, the King looked upon her with open mouth: if she laughed
upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure with him, the King
was *faine to flatter her, and to give her good words, till he had gotten her
favor again.
O ye men, are not women then stronger? Great
is the earth, and high is the heaven that do these things. Then the King and the
Princes looked one upon another. So he began to speak of the truth: O ye men,
are not women stronger? Great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the
course of the sun, he compasses the heaven round about, and fetcheth his course
again to his own place in one day. Is he not excellent that doeth this? Yee
great is the truth, and stronger than all things. All the earth calleth upon the
truth, the heaven praiseth it, all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is
no unrighteous thing. Wine is unrighteous: the King is unrighteous: women are
unrighteous: all the children of men are unrighteous, yee all their works are
unrighteous, and there is no truth in them, in their unrighteousness also shall
they be destroyed and perish. As for the truth, it endureth, and is all way
strong: it liveth and conquereth for evermore world with out end.
The truth accepteth no persons, it
putteth no difference between rich or poor, between the mighty or simple, but
doeth right unto every man, whether they be evil or good, and all men are
lovingly dealt with all in the works of it. In the judgement of it there is no
unrighteous thing, but strength, Kingdom and power and majesty for evermore.
Blessed be the God of truth.
And with that he held his tongue, and all
the people cried and said: Great is truth, and above all. Then said the king
unto him: Ask what thou wilt, more than is appointed in the writing, and I shall
give it thee, for thou art found wiser than thy companions: thou shalt sit next
me, and be my kinsman. Then said he unto the king: Remember thy promise and vow,
which thou hast vowed and promised ( in the day when thou camest to the Kingdom
) to build up Jerusalem, and to send again all the vessels and Jewels, that were
taken away out of Jerusalem: which Cyrus separated, when he offered in Babylon,
and would send them again. And thy mind was to build up the temple, which the
Edomites burnt, when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Caldees. This only ( O King
) is the thing that I require, this is the majesty, which I desire and ask of
thee: that thou perform the vow, which thou with thine own mouth hast made unto
the King of heaven.
Then Darius the King stood up, and kissed
him, and wrote a letter unto all the deputies and *Shreves, to all the Lords and
nobles, that they should convey him forth, and all them that would go up with
him. He wrote a letter also unto the Shreves that were in Celosyria and Phenices,
and unto Libanus, that they should draw cedar trees from Libanus unto Jerusalem,
to build the city with all. Moreover he wrote unto all the Jews that were gone
out of his realm into Jewry, because of the freedom, that no officer, no ruler,
nor Shreve, **should come to their doors: and that all their land which they had
conquered, should be free and not tributary: And that the Edomites should give
over the cities and villages of the Jews, which they had taken in: yee and that
they should yearly give twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the
time that it were finished: and to the daily hallowing of the burntofferings, as
it is commanded, ten talents yearly also: And that all they which come from
Babylon to build the city, should have free liberty, they and their children,
and all the Priests.
He wrote the greatness also, and commanded
that the holy garment should be given them, wherein they ministered: and wrote
that commandments should be given to the Levites, until the day, that the house
were finished and Jerusalem builded up: and commanded that all they that watched
the city, should have their portions and wages.
He gave over also all the vessels that Cyrus
had separated from Babylon: and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the
same charged he also, that it should be done, and sent unto Jerusalem. Now when
this young man was gone forth, he turned his face toward Jerusalem, and praised
the King of heaven, and said: Of thee cometh the victory, of thee cometh wisdom
and clearness, and I am thy servant. Blessed art thou, which hast given me
wisdom: thee will I praise, O' Lord, thou God of our fathers.
And so he took the letters, and went unto
Babylon: And when he came there, he told this to all his brethren that were at
Babylon, and they praised the God of their fathers, that he had given them
refreshing and liberty to go up, and to build Jerusalem and the temple ( which
is called after the name of the Lord ) and they rejoiced with instruments and
gladness seven days long
**should come to their doors: (kjv and other bibles of men =forcibly enter)

If our unrighteousness make the
righteousness of God more excellent: what shall we say? Is God unrighteous which
taketh vengeance? I speak after the manner of men. God forbid. For how then
shall God judge the world? If the verity of God appear more excellent through my
lie, unto his praise, why am I henceforth judged as a sinner? and say not rather
(as men evil speak of us, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that
good may come thereof. Whose damnation is just.
What say we then? Are we better than they?
No, in no wise. For we have already proved how that both Jews and Gentiles are
all under sin, as it is written: There is none righteous no not one: there is
none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God, they are all gone
out of the way, they are all made unprofitable, there is none that doeth good,
no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they have
deceived: the poison of asps is under their lips. Whose mouths are full of
cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and
wretchedness are in their ways. And the way of peace they have not known. There
is no fear of God before their eyes.
Yea and we know that whatsoever the law
saith, he saith it to them which are under the law. That all mouths may be
stopped, and all the world be subdued to God, because that by the deeds of the
law, shall no flesh be justified in the sight of God. For by the law cometh the
knowledge of sin.
Now verily is the righteousness that cometh
of God declared with out the fulfilling of the law, having witness yet of the
law and of the Prophets. The righteousness no doubt which is good before God,
cometh by the faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all that believe.
There is no difference: for all have
sinned, and lack the praise that is of valour before God: but are justified
freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ *Jesu, whom God
hath made a seat of mercy through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness
which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed,
which God did suffer to show at this time, the righteousness that is allowed of
him, that he might be counted just, and a justifier of him which believeth on
Jesus.
Where is then thy rejoicing? It is excluded.
By what law? by the law of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Therefore we hold that a man is justified by
faith without the deeds of the law. Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not
also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, even of the Gentiles also. For it is God only
which justifieth circumcision which is of faith, and uncircumcision through
faith. Do we then destroy the law through faith? God forbid. But we rather
maintain the law
Moses descibeth the righteousness which
cometh of the law, how that the man which doth the things of the law, shall live
therein. But the righteousness which cometh of faith, speaketh on this wise. Say
not in thine heart who shall ascend into heaven? (that is nothing else than to
fetch Christ down). Or who shall descend into the deep? (that is nothing else
but to fetch up Christ from death). But what saith the scripture? The word is
nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thine heart.
This word is the word of faith which we
preach. For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth that Jesus is the Lord, and
shalt believe with thine heart that God raised him up from death, thou shalt be
safe. For the belief of the heart justifieth, and to knowledge with the mouth
maketh a man safe. For the scripture saith: whosoever believeth on him, shall
not be ashamed.
There is no difference between the Jew
and the Gentile. For one is Lord of all, which is rich unto all that call on
him. For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord, shall be safe. But how
shall they call on him, on whom they believed not? how shall they believe on him
of whom they have not heard? how shall they hear without a preacher? And how
shall they preach except they be sent? As it is written: how beautiful are
the feet of them which bring glad tidings of peace, and bring glad tidings of
good things. But they have not all obeyed to the Gospell. For Esaias saith: Lord
who shall believe our sayings? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
cometh by the word of God. But I ask: have they not heard? No doubt, their sound
went out into all lands: and their words into the ends of the world.
But I demand whether Israel did know or not?
First Moses saith: I will provoke you for to envy, by them that are no people,
and by a foolish nation I will anger you. Esaias after that, is bold and saith,
I am found of them that sought me not, and have appeared to them that asked not
after me. And against Israel he saith: All day long have I stretched forth my
hands unto a people that believeth not, but speaketh against me
A man ought not to cover his head, for as
much as he is the image and glory of God. The woman is the glory of the man. For
the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. Neither was the man
created for the womans sake: but the woman for the mans sake. For this cause
ought the woman to have power on her head, for the angels sakes. Nevertheless,
neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the
Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man by the woman: but all
is of God.
Judge in yourselves whether it be comely
that a woman pray unto God bareheaded. Or else doth not nature teach you, that
it is a shame for a man, if he have long hair: and a praise to a woman, if she
have long hair? For her hair is given her to cover her with all. If there be any
man among you that lusteth to strive let him know that we have no such custom,
neither the congregations of God.
This I warn you of, and commend not that ye
come together: not after a better manner but after a worse. First of all when ye
come together in the congregation, I hear that there is dissension among you:
and I partly believe it. For there must be sects among you, that they which are
perfect among you, might be known. When ye come together, a man cannot eat the
Lords supper. For every man beginneth afore to eat his own supper. And one is
hungry, and another is drunken. Have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? Or
else despise ye the congregation of God, and shame them that have not? What
shall I say unto you? shall I praise you? In this praise I you not.
That which I delivered unto you, I received
of the Lord. For the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed, took
bread: and thanked and brake, and said. Take ye, and eat ye: this is my body
which is broken for you. This do ye in the remembrance of me. After the same
manner he took the cup, when supper was done, saying: This do as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye shall eat this bread, and drink
this cup, ye shall show the Lords death, till he come. Wherefore whosoever
shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the
body and blood of the Lord. Let a man therefore examine himself, and so let him
eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he that eateth or drinketh
unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no
difference of the Lords body.
For this cause many are weak and sick among
you, and many sleep. If we had truly judged ourselves, we should not have been
judged. But when we are judged of the Lord we are chastened, because we should
not be damned with the world. Wherefore my brethren when ye come to gether to
eat, tarry one for another. If any man hunger, let him eat at home, that ye come
not together unto condemnation. Other things will I set in order when I come
Then shall the king say unto them that
shall be on the left hand: depart
from me ye cursed, into everlasting fire: which is prepared for the devil and
his angels. For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat. I thirsted, and
ye gave me no drink. I was harborless, and ye lodged me not. I was naked, and ye
clothed me not. I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Then shall they also answer him saying:
master, when saw we thee an hungered, or a thirst, or harborless, or naked, or
sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them
and say: Verily I say unto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least
of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go into everlasting pain: And the
righteous into life eternal
Therefore like as the fire licketh up the
straw, as the flame consumeth the stubble: Even so ( when their root is full )
their blossom shall vanish away as dust or smoke: for they despise the law of
the Lord of Hosts, and blaspheme the word of the holy maker of Israel.
Therefore is the wrath of the Lord kindled
also against his people, and he shaketh his hand at them: yee he shall smite so,
that the hills shall tremble. And their carcasses shall lie in the open streets,
like mire. After all this, the wrath of God shall not cease, but he shall
stretch his hand wider. And he shall give a token unto a strange people, and
call unto them in a far country: and behold, they shall come hastily with speed.
There is not one faint or feeble among them, no not a sluggish or slippery
person. There shall not one of them put off the girdle from his loins, *ner
loose the latchet of their shoe. Their arrows are sharp, and their bows bent.
Their horses hoofs are like flint, and their cart wheels like a stormy wind.
Their cry is as it were of a lion, and the roaring of them like lions whelps.
They shall roar, and haunch up the prey, and no man shall recover it or get it
from them. In that day they shall be fierce upon them, as the sea. And if we
look unto the land, behold, it shall be all darkness and sorrow. If we look to
heaven: behold, it shall be dark with careful desperation
He went through the cities of Juda,
destroying the ungodly out of them, turning away the wrath from Israel, and
receiving such as were oppressed: and the fame of him went unto the utmost part
of the earth. Then Appollonius ( a prince of Syria ) gathered a mighty great
host of the Heathen, and out of Samaria, to fight against Israel. Which when
Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, fought with him: slew him, and a
great multitude with him, and the remnant fled, and he took their substance.
Judas also took Appollonius own sword and fought with it all his life long.
Now when Seron, ( another prince of Syria )
heard say, that Judas had gathered unto him the congregation and ***church of
the faithful he said: I will get me a name and a praise throughout the realm:
for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, as many as despise
the kings commandment. So he made him ready, and there went with him a great
mighty host of the ungodly, to stand by him, and to be avenged of the children
of Israel. And when they came nye unto Bethoron, Judas went forth against them a
small company. And when his people saw such a great host before them, they said
unto Judas: How are we able ( being so few ) to fight against so great a
multitude and so strong ? seeing we be so weary, and have fasted all this day?
But
Judas said: It is a small matter for many to be overcome with a few: yee there
is no difference to the God of heaven, to deliver by a great multitude or by a
small company: for the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of the
host, but strength cometh from heaven. Behold, they come against us with a
presumptuous and proud multitude, to destroy us, our wives and our children, and
rob us. But we fight for our lives, and for our laws, and the Lord himself shall
destroy them before our face: therefore be ye not afraid of them.
As soon as he had spoken these words, he
leapt suddenly upon them. Thus was Seron smitten, and his host put to flight,
and Judas followed upon them beyond Bethoron unto the plain field: where were
slain eight hundred men of them, and the residue fled into the land of the
Philistines. Then all the Heathen on every side were afraid for Judas and his
brethren: so that the rumor of him came unto the kings ears for all the Gentiles
could tell of the wars of Judas.
So when king Antiochus heard these things,
he was angry in his mind: wherefore he sent forth and gathered an host of his
whole realm very strong armies: and opened his treasury, and gave his host a
years wages in hand, commanding them to be ready at all times.
Nevertheless when he saw, that there was not
money enough in his treasuries, and that through the discord and persecution,
which he made in the land ( to put down the laws that had been of old times )
his customs and tributes of the land were minished: he feared that he was not
able for to bear the costs and charges any longer, nor to have such gifts, to
give so liberally as he did afore, more than the kings that were before him.
Wherefore he was heavy in his mind, and
thought to go into Persdes, for to take tributes of the land, and so to gather
much money. So he left Lysias ( a noble man of the kings blood ) to oversee the
kings business, from the water Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt: And to keep
well his son Antiochus, until he came again.
Moreover, he gave him half of his host and
Elephants, committed unto him everything of his mind, concerning those which
dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem: that he should send out an army against them, to
destroy and root out the power of Israel and the remnant of Jerusalem: to put
out their memorial from that place, to set strangers for to inhabit all their
quarters, and part their land among them. Thus the king took the other part of
the host, and departed from Antioch ( a city of his realm ) over the water of
Euphrates, in the hundred and forty seventh year, and went through the high
countries.
And Lysias chose unto him Ptolomy the son of
Doriminus, Nicanor and Gorgias mighty men, and the kings friends. These he sent
with forty thousand footmen and seven thousand horsemen, for to go into the land
of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded. So they went forth with all
their power, and came to Emmaus into the plain field. When the merchants heard
the rumor of them, they and their servants took very much silver and gold, for
to buy the children of Israel to be their bond men. There came unto them also
yet more men of war on every side, out of Syria and from the Palestines.
Now when Judas and his brethren saw that
trouble increased, and that the host drew nye unto their borders: considering
the kings words which he commanded unto the people: namely that they should
utterly waste and destroy them: They said one to another: Let us *redress the
decay of our people, and let us fight for our folk and for our Sanctuary. Then
the congregation were soon ready gathered to fight, to pray and to make
supplication unto God for mercy and grace.
As for Jerusalem, it lay void, and was as it
had been a wilderness. There went no man in or out at it, and the Sanctuary was
trodden down. The aliens kept the castle, there was the habitation of the
Heathen. The mirth of Jacob was taken away, the pipe and the harp was gone from
among them.
The Israelites gathered them together, and
came to Maspha, before Jerusalem: for in Maspha was the place where they prayed
afore time. So they fasted that day, and put sackclothes upon them, cast ashes
upon their heads, rent their clothes, and laid forth the books of the law (
whereout the Heathen sought the likeness of their images ) and brought the
Priests ornaments, the firstlings and the tithes. They set there also the
abstainers ( which had fulfilled their days ) before God, and cried with a loud
voice toward heaven, saying: What shall we do with these? and whither shall we
carry them away? For the Sanctuary is trodden down and defiled, thy priests are
come to heaviness and dishonor: and behold, the Heathen are come together for to
destroy us. Thou knowest what things they imagine against us. How may we stand
before thee, except thou ( O' God ) be our help?
They blew out the trumpet also with a loud
voice. Then Judas ordained captains over the people: over thousands, over
hundreds, over fifty and over tens. But as for such as builded them houses,
married wives, planted them vineyards, and those that were fearful: he commanded
them every man to go home, according to the law. So the host removed, and
pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.
And Judas said, arm yourselves, be strong (
O' my children ) make you ready against tomorrow in the morning, that ye may
fight with these people, which are agreed together to destroy us and our
sanctuary. Better is it for us to die in battle, than to see our people and our
sanctuary in such a miserable case. Nevertheless, as the will is in heaven, so
be it
