Baramouda 11, 1739

25The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; Among them were the maidens playing timbrels.

26Bless God in the congregations, The Lord, from the fountain of Israel.

6And when Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper,

7a woman came to Him having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured it on His head as He sat at the table.

8But when His disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, "Why this waste?

9For this fragrant oil might have been sold for much and given to the poor."

10But when Jesus was aware of it, He said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a good work for Me.

11For you have the poor with you always, but Me you do not have always.

12For in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, she did it for My burial.

13Assuredly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told as a memorial to her."

2Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

3When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

15The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

16Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,'

18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."

19The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

20Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."

21Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

23But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

24God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

9(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

10finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

12For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

14Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

15See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

18And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

19speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

20giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21submitting to one another in the fear of God.

5For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

6as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

7Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

8Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;

9not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

10For "He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

11Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

12For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil."

13And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?

14But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."

5When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed.

6When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home.

7And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

8On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11When he had come to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, "So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."'

12Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

14So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."
