Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Genesis 21:1–22:4
1And the Lord visited Sarrha, as he said, and the Lord did to Sarrha, as he spoke. 2And she conceived and bore to Abraam a son in old age, at the set time according as the Lord spoke to him. 3And Abraam called the name of his son that was born to him, whom Sarrha bore to him, Isaac. 4And Abraam circumcised Isaac on the eighth day, as God commanded him. 5And Abraam was a hundred years old when Isaac his son was born to him. 6And Sarrha said, The Lord has made laughter for me, for whoever shall hear shall rejoice with me. 7And she said, Who shall say to Abraam that Sarrha suckles a child? for I have born a child in my old age. 8And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraam made a great feast the day that his son Isaac was weaned. 9And Sarrha having seen the son of Agar the Egyptian who was born to Abraam, sporting with Isaac her son, 10then she said to Abraam, Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bondwoman shall not inherit with my son Isaac. 11But the word appeared very hard before Abraam concerning his son. 12But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 13And moreover I will make the son of this bondwoman a great nation, because he is thy seed. 14And Abraam rose up in the morning and took loaves and a skin of water, and gave [them] to Agar, and he put the child on her shoulder, and sent her away, and she having departed wandered in the wilderness near the well of the oath. 15And the water failed out of the skin, and she cast the child under a fir tree. 16And she departed and sat down opposite him at a distance, as it were a bow-shot, for she said, Surely I cannot see the death of my child: and she sat opposite him, and the child cried aloud and wept. 17And God heard the voice of the child from the place where he was, and an angel of God called Agar out of heaven, and said to her, What is it, Agar? fear not, for God has heard the voice of the child from the place where he is. 18Rise up, and take the child, and hold him in thine hand, for I will make him a great nation. 19And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of springing water; and she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the child drink. 20And God was with the child, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. 21And he dwelt in the wilderness, and his mother took him a wife out of Pharan of Egypt. 22And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech spoke, and Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, to Abraam, saying, God is with thee in all things, whatsoever thou mayest do. 23Now therefore swear to me by God that thou wilt not injure me, nor my seed, nor my name, but according to the righteousness which I have performed with thee thou shalt deal with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned. 24And Abraam said, I will swear. 25And Abraam reproved Abimelech because of the wells of water, which the servants of Abimelech took away. 26And Abimelech said to him, I know not who has done this thing to thee, neither didst thou tell it me, neither heard I it but only to-day. 27And Abraam took sheep and calves, and gave them to Abimelech, and both made a covenant. 28And Abraam set seven ewe-lambs by themselves. 29And Abimelech said to Abraam, What are these seven ewe-lambs which thou hast set alone? 30And Abraam said, Thou shalt receive the seven ewe-lambs of me, that they may be for me as a witness, that I dug this well. 31Therefore he named the name of that place, The Well of the Oath, for there they both swore. 32And they made a covenant at the well of the oath. And there rose up Abimelech, Ochozath his friend, and Phichol the commander-in-chief of his army, and they returned to the land of the Phylistines. 33And Abraam planted a field at the well of the oath, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. 34And Abraam sojourned in the land of the Phylistines many days. Chapter 221And it came to pass after these things that God tempted Abraam, and said to him, Abraam, Abraam; and he said, Lo! I [am here]. 2And he said, Take thy son, the beloved one, whom thou hast loved—Isaac, and go into the high land, and offer him there for a whole-burnt-offering on one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 3And Abraam rose up in the morning and saddled his ass, and he took with him two servants, and Isaac his son, and having split wood for a whole-burnt-offering, he arose and departed, and came to the place of which God spoke to him, 4on the third day; and Abraam having lifted up his eyes, saw the place afar off.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 6:6–10
6For in death no man remembers thee: and who will give thee thanks in Hades? 7I am wearied with my groaning; I shall wash my bed every night; I shall water my couch with my tears. 8Mine eye is troubled because of my wrath; I am worn out because of all my enemies. 9Depart from me, all ye that work iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. 10The Lord has hearkened to my petition; the Lord has accepted my prayer.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 3:5–6
5Trust in God with all thine heart; and be not exalted in thine own wisdom. 6In all thy ways acquaint thyself with her, that she may rightly direct thy paths.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 8:18–34
18Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side. 19And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 21And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. 23And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 28And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. 29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? 30And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. 31So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. 32And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. 33And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils. 34And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
