2Kings 4 |
| 2Kings 4:1 | Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen. |
| 2Kings 4:2 | And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. |
| 2Kings 4:3 | Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. |
| 2Kings 4:4 | And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. |
| 2Kings 4:5 | So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. |
| 2Kings 4:6 | And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. |
| 2Kings 4:7 | Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. |
| 2Kings 4:8 | And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. |
| 2Kings 4:9 | And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. |
| 2Kings 4:10 | Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. |
| 2Kings 4:11 | And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there. |
| 2Kings 4:12 | And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. |
| 2Kings 4:13 | And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people. |
| 2Kings 4:14 | And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old. |
| 2Kings 4:15 | And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. |
| 2Kings 4:16 | And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid. |
| 2Kings 4:17 | And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life. |
| 2Kings 4:18 | And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. |
| 2Kings 4:19 | And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. |
| 2Kings 4:20 | And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. |
| 2Kings 4:21 | And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. |
| 2Kings 4:22 | And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. |
| 2Kings 4:23 | And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. |
| 2Kings 4:24 | Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. |
| 2Kings 4:25 | So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite: |
| 2Kings 4:26 | Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. |
| 2Kings 4:27 | And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. |
| 2Kings 4:28 | Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? |
| 2Kings 4:29 | Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. |
| 2Kings 4:30 | And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. |
| 2Kings 4:31 | And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked. |
| 2Kings 4:32 | And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. |
| 2Kings 4:33 | He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD. |
| 2Kings 4:34 | And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. |
| 2Kings 4:35 | Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. |
| 2Kings 4:36 | And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. |
| 2Kings 4:37 | Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out. |
| 2Kings 4:38 | And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets. |
| 2Kings 4:39 | And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not. |
| 2Kings 4:40 | So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof. |
| 2Kings 4:41 | But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot. |
| 2Kings 4:42 | And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat. |
| 2Kings 4:43 | And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. |
| 2Kings 4:44 | So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD. |

Psalms 129 |
| Psalms 129:1 | A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say: |
| Psalms 129:2 | Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me. |
| Psalms 129:3 | The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows. |
| Psalms 129:4 | The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. |
| Psalms 129:5 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. |
| Psalms 129:6 | Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: |
| Psalms 129:7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. |
| Psalms 129:8 | Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD. |
|
Revelation 1 |
| Revelation 1:1 | The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: |
| Revelation 1:2 | Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. |
| Revelation 1:3 | Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. |
| Revelation 1:4 | John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; |
| Revelation 1:5 | And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, |
| Revelation 1:6 | And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| Revelation 1:7 | Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. |
| Revelation 1:8 | I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. |
| Revelation 1:9 | I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. |
| Revelation 1:10 | I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, |
| Revelation 1:11 | Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. |
| Revelation 1:12 | And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; |
| Revelation 1:13 | And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. |
| Revelation 1:14 | His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; |
| Revelation 1:15 | And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. |
| Revelation 1:16 | And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. |
| Revelation 1:17 | And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: |
| Revelation 1:18 | I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |
| Revelation 1:19 | Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; |
| Revelation 1:20 | The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. |

3John 1 |
| 3John 1:1 | The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth. |
| 3John 1:2 | Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. |
| 3John 1:3 | For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. |
| 3John 1:4 | I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. |
| 3John 1:5 | Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; |
| 3John 1:6 | Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: |
| 3John 1:7 | Because that for his name’s sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. |
| 3John 1:8 | We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. |
| 3John 1:9 | I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. |
| 3John 1:10 | Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. |
| 3John 1:11 | Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. |
| 3John 1:12 | Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true. |
| 3John 1:13 | I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: |
| 3John 1:14 | But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name. |
