Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the

transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in

everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all

20

them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his

Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the

3

morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see
