For David, G1138 after he had served G5256 his own G2398 generation G1074 by the will G1012 of God, G2316 fell on sleep, G2837 and was laid G4369 to his fathers, G3962 and saw G1492 corruption: G1312

But none G3762 of these things G3056 move G3056 G4160 me, neither G3761 count G2192 I my life G5590 dear G5093 to myself, G1683 so G5613 that I might finish G5048 my course G1408 with joy, G5479 and the ministry, G1248 which G3739 I have G2192 received G2983 of the Lord G2962 Jesus, G2424 to testify G1263 the gospel G2098 of the grace G5485 of God. G2316

But when Herod G2264 heard G191 thereof, he said, G2036 It is John, G2491 whom G3739 I beheaded: G607 he is risen G1453 from the dead. G3498

For John G2491 had said G3004 to Herod, G2264 It is not lawful G1832 for you to have G2192 your brother's G80 wife. G1135

For Herod G2264 feared G5399 John, G2491 knowing G1492 that he was a just G1342 man G435 and an holy, G40 and observed G4933 him; and when he heard G191 him, he did G4160 many G4183 things, and heard G191 him gladly. G2234

And when the daughter G2364 of the said G846 Herodias G2266 came G1525 in, and danced, G3738 and pleased G700 Herod G2264 and them that sat G4873 with him, the king G935 said G2036 to the damsel, G2877 Ask G154 of me whatever G3739 G1437 you will, G2309 and I will give G1325 it you.

And she went G1831 forth, G1831 and said G2036 to her mother, G3384 What G5101 shall I ask? G154 And she said, G2036 The head G2776 of John G2491 the Baptist. G910

And the king G935 was exceeding G4036 sorry; G4036 yet for his oath's G3727 sake, and for their sakes which G3588 sat G4873 with him, he would G2309 not reject G114 her.

And brought G5342 his head G2776 in a charger, G4094 and gave G1325 it to the damsel: G2877 and the damsel G2877 gave G1325 it to her mother. G3384

Jesus G2424 said G3004 to them, My meat G1033 is to do G4160 the will G2307 of him that sent G3992 me, and to finish G5048 his work. G2041

After G3326 this, G5124 Jesus G2424 knowing G1492 that all G3956 things were now G2235 accomplished, G5055 that the scripture G1124 might be fulfilled, G5048 said, G3004 I thirst. G1372

When G3753 Jesus G2424 therefore G3767 had received G2983 the vinegar, G3690 he said, G2036 It is finished: G5055 and he bowed G2827 his head, G2776 and gave G3860 up the ghost. G4151

I have fought G75 a good G2570 fight, G73 I have finished G5055 my course, G1408 I have kept G5083 the faith: G4102

And when G3752 they shall have finished G5055 their testimony, G3141 the beast G2342 that ascends G305 out of the bottomless G12 pit shall make G4160 war G4171 against G3326 them, and shall overcome G3528 them, and kill G615 them.

Then G1161 said G2036 Paul, G3972 John G2491 truly G3303 baptized G907 with the baptism G908 of repentance, G3341 saying G3004 to the people, G2992 that they should believe G4100 on G1519 him which should come G2064 after G3326 him, that is, on G1519 Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424

I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water G5204 to repentance. G3341 but he that comes G2064 after G3694 me is mightier G2478 than I, whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to bear: G941 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost, G4151 and with fire: G4442

And preached, G2784 saying, G3004 There comes G2064 one mightier G2478 than I after G3694 me, the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to stoop G2955 down and unloose. G3089

And as the people G2992 were in expectation, G4328 and all G3956 men mused G1260 in their hearts G2588 of John, G2491 whether G3379 he were the Christ, G5547 or not;

John G2491 answered, G611 saying G3004 to them all, G537 I indeed G3303 baptize G907 you with water; G5204 but one mightier G2478 than I comes, G2064 the lace G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G5266 I am G1510 not worthy G2425 to unloose: G3089 he shall baptize G907 you with the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 and with fire: G4442

And he confessed, G3670 and denied G720 not; but confessed, G3670 I am G1510 not the Christ. G5547

Then G3767 said G2036 they to him, Who G5101 are G1488 you? that we may give G1325 an answer G612 to them that sent G3992 us. What G5101 say G3004 you of yourself? G4572

John G2491 answered G611 and said, G2036 A man G444 can G1410 receive G2983 nothing, G3762 except G3362 it be given G1325 him from heaven. G3772

He that has G2192 the bride G3565 is the bridegroom: G3566 but the friend G5384 of the bridegroom, G3566 which G3588 stands G2476 and hears G191 him, rejoices G5463 greatly G5479 because G1223 of the bridegroom's G3566 voice: G5456 this G3778 my joy G5479 therefore G3767 is fulfilled. G4137

He that speaks G2980 of himself G1438 seeks G2212 his own G2398 glory: G1391 but he that seeks G2212 his glory G1391 that sent G3992 him, the same G3778 is true, G227 and no G3756 unrighteousness G93 is in him.

For we preach G2784 not ourselves, G1438 but Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 the Lord; G2962 and ourselves G1438 your G5216 servants G1401 for Jesus' G2424 sake.
