1
 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2
 The same was in the beginning with God.
3
 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4
 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5
 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6
 There was a man sent from God, whose name
was
John.
7
 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all
men
through him might believe.
8
 He was not that Light, but
was sent
to bear witness of that Light.
9
Â
That
was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10
 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11
 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12
 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God,
even
to them that believe on his name:
13
 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14
 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15
 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16
 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17
 For the law was given by Moses,
but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18
 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him.
19
 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
20
 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
21
 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias?
And he saith, I am not.
Art thou that prophet?
And he answered, No.
22
 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23
 He said, I
am
the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
24
 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
25
 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
26
 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
27
 he it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
28
 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
A Psalm of David.
1
 I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O L
ORD
, will I sing.
2
 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3
 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside;
it
shall not cleave to me.
4
 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked
person.
5
 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
6
 Mine eyes
shall be
upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
7
 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
8
 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the L
ORD
.
13
 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth
is
heaviness.
14
 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man
shall be satisfied
from himself.

1
 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the L
ORD
; and the L
ORD
delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2
 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name
was
Manoah; and his wife
was
barren, and bare not.
3
 And the angel of the L
ORD
appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou
art
barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
4
 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean
thing:
5
 for, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
6
 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance
was
like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he
was,
neither told he me his name:
7
 but he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean
thing:
for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
8
 Then Manoah intreated the L
ORD
, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
9
 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband
was
not with her.
10
 And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the
other
day.
11
 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him,
Art
thou the man that spakest unto the woman?
And he said, I
am.
12
 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and
how
shall we do unto him?
13
 And the angel of the L
ORD
said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
14
 She may not eat of any
thing
that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean
thing:
all that I commanded her let her observe.
15
 And Manoah said unto the angel of the L
ORD
, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
16
 And the angel of the L
ORD
said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the L
ORD
. For Manoah knew not that he
was
an angel of the L
ORD
.
17
 And Manoah said unto the angel of the L
ORD
, What
is
thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
18
 And the angel of the L
ORD
said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it
is
secret?
19
 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered
it
upon a rock unto the L
ORD
: and
the angel
did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
20
 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the L
ORD
ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on
it,
and fell on their faces to the ground.
21
 But the angel of the L
ORD
did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he
was
an angel of the L
ORD
.
22
 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
23
 But his wife said unto him, If the L
ORD
were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these
things,
nor would as at this time have told us
such things
as these.
24
 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the L
ORD
blessed him.
25
 And the Spirit of the L
ORD
began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
14:
1
 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
2
 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
3
 Then his father and his mother said unto him,
Is there
never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines?
And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
4
 But his father and his mother knew not that it
was
of the L
ORD
, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
5
 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
6
 And the Spirit of the L
ORD
came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and
he had
nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
7
 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
8
 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold,
there was
a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
9
 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
10
 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
11
 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
12
 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find
it
out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
13
 but if ye cannot declare
it
me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments.
And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
14
 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
15
 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have?
is it
not
so?
16
 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told
it
me.
And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told
it
my father nor my mother, and shall I tell
it
thee?
17
 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
18
 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What
is
sweeter than honey? and what
is
stronger than a lion?
And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
19
 And the Spirit of the L
ORD
came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
20
 But Samson's wife was
given
to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
