And he did not permit him but said to him,“ Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

耶稣不许，却对他说：“你回家去，到你的亲属那里，将主为你所做的是何等大的事，是怎样怜悯你，都告诉他们。”

耶稣不许，却对他说：“你回家去，到你的亲友那里，将主为你所做多么大的事和他怎样怜悯你，都告诉他们。”

耶稣不许，却对他说：“你回家去，到你的亲友那里，将主为你所做多么大的事和他怎样怜悯你，都告诉他们。”

耶稣没有答应，只对他说：“回去见你的家人，将主为你所做的事和祂怜悯你的经过告诉他们吧！”

耶稣不许，却对他说：“你回家到你的亲属那里去，把主为你作了多么大的事，并他怎样怜悯你，都告诉他们。”

耶稣没有答应，却对他说：“你回家去吧，到你的亲友那里，告诉他们主为你做了什么，以及他怎样怜悯你。”

耶穌不許，卻對他說：「你回家去，到你的親屬那裏，將主為你所做的是何等大的事，是怎樣憐憫你，都告訴他們。」

耶穌不許，卻對他說：「你回家去，到你的親友那裏，將主為你所做多麼大的事和他怎樣憐憫你，都告訴他們。」

耶穌不許，卻對他說：「你回家去，到你的親友那裏，將主為你所做多麼大的事和他怎樣憐憫你，都告訴他們。」

耶穌沒有答應，只對他說：「回去見你的家人，將主為你所做的事和祂憐憫你的經過告訴他們吧！」

耶穌不許，卻對他說：“你回家到你的親屬那裡去，把主為你作了多麼大的事，並他怎樣憐憫你，都告訴他們。”

耶穌不許他，卻對他說：『往你家去，到你親屬那裏，將主為你所作多麼大的事、並怎樣地憐恤你、都傳報他們。』

耶穌沒有答應，卻對他說：「你回家去吧，到你的親友那裡，告訴他們主為你做了什麼，以及他怎樣憐憫你。」

弗許、曰、歸爾家、就爾屬、以主為爾所行之大事、及若何矜恤爾者告之、

耶穌弗許曰、歸以主視爾、矜恤爾之事、告家人、

耶穌不許、命之曰、歸爾家、至爾親屬處、以主如何行於爾矜恤爾之事告之、

不許、曰：『好自回家、與家人完聚、並以上主對爾所行及加爾之慈惠、向彼傳述可耳。』

Jesus did not let him, but said,“ Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

Jesus did not let him. He said,“ Go home to your own people. Tell them how much the Lord has done for you. Tell them how kind he has been to you.”

But Jesus said,“ No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”

Jesus did not let him but told him,“ Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you.”

And He did not let him, but He* said to him,“ Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.”

However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him,“ Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”

And he suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go to thy house unto thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he had mercy on thee.

But He would not let him; instead, He told him,“ Go back home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how He has had mercy on you.”

Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.

But Jesus did not permit him to do so. Instead, he said to him,“ Go to your home and to your people and tell them what the Lord has done for you, that he had mercy on you.”

He didn’t allow him, but said to him,“ Go to your house, to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.”

Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

“ Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?”

“ My manner of life from my youth, spent from the beginning among my own nation and in Jerusalem, is known by all the Jews.They have known for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I have lived as a Pharisee.And now I stand here on trial because of my hope in the promise made by God to our fathers,to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day. And for this hope I am accused by Jews, O king!Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?“ I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities.“ In this connection I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.At midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, that shone around me and those who journeyed with me.And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’And I said,‘ Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said,‘ I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you,delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles— to whom I am sending youto open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’“ Therefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,but declared first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all the region of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds in keeping with their repentance.For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass:that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice,“ Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.”But Paul said,“ I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.For the king knows about these things, and to him I speak boldly. For I am persuaded that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this has not been done in a corner.King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”And Agrippa said to Paul,“ In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?”And Paul said,“ Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am— except for these chains.”

Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth:“ Peace be multiplied to you.I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end.He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.”

A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, after he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:I said, In the middle of my days I must depart; I am consigned to the gates of Sheol for the rest of my years.I said, I shall not see the Lord, the Lord in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.My dwelling is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent; like a weaver I have rolled up my life; he cuts me off from the loom; from day to night you bring me to an end;I calmed myself until morning; like a lion he breaks all my bones; from day to night you bring me to an end.Like a swallow or a crane I chirp; I moan like a dove. My eyes are weary with looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; be my pledge of safety!What shall I say? For he has spoken to me, and he himself has done it. I walk slowly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these is the life of my spirit. Oh restore me to health and make me live!Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back.For Sheol does not thank you; death does not praise you; those who go down to the pit do not hope for your faithfulness.The living, the living, he thanks you, as I do this day; the father makes known to the children your faithfulness.The Lord will save me, and we will play my music on stringed instruments all the days of our lives, at the house of the Lord.

King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me.How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.

“ Brothers and fathers, hear the defense that I now make before you.”And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. And he said:“ I am a Jew, born in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, educated at the feet of Gamaliel according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God as all of you are this day.I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering to prison both men and women,as the high priest and the whole council of elders can bear me witness. From them I received letters to the brothers, and I journeyed toward Damascus to take those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished.“ As I was on my way and drew near to Damascus, about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone around me.And I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me,‘ Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’And I answered,‘ Who are you, Lord?’ And he said to me,‘ I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’Now those who were with me saw the light but did not understand the voice of the one who was speaking to me.And I said,‘ What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me,‘ Rise, and go into Damascus, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.’And since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and came into Damascus.“ And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there,came to me, and standing by me said to me,‘ Brother Saul, receive your sight.’ And at that very hour I received my sight and saw him.And he said,‘ The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to see the Righteous One and to hear a voice from his mouth;for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard.And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.’“ When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a tranceand saw him saying to me,‘ Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’And I said,‘ Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you.And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’And he said to me,‘ Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish,saying,“ I called out to the Lord, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me.Then I said,‘ I am driven away from your sight; yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.’The waters closed in over me to take my life; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my headat the roots of the mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit, O Lord my God.When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”And the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land.
