a v35 Now have we not reason to rejoice?
a Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great
reason to rejoice as we, since the world began;
a yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting
in my God;
. . b for he has all power, all wisdom,
and all understanding;
. . b he comprehendeth all things,
. . b and he is a merciful Being, even unto
salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name. |
v28 Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. |
|
a v36 Now if this is boasting,
a even so will I boast;
. . b for this is my life and my
light,
. . b my joy and my salvation,
. . b and my redemption from everlasting wo. |
I am the life and the light of the world. |
|
a Yea, blessed is the name of my God,
. . b who has been mindful
. . . . c of this people,
. . . . c who are a BRANCH of the tree of
Israel,
. . . . . . b and has been lost from its body
in a strange land;
a yea, I say, blessed be the name of my God,
. . b who has been mindful
. . . . c of us,
. . . . . . d wanderers in a strange land. |
v29 I am the same who came unto mine
own and mine own received me not;
. . [Isa.4:2; 60:21 "In that day
shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious..." ; Also
Isa. 11:1...]

v37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of
every people, whatsoever land they may be in; |
v30 But verily, verily, I say unto you, that as many
as receive me, |
|
yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels
of mercy are over all the earth. |
to them will I give power to become the sons of
God, |
|
$ Now this is my joy,
$ and my great thanksgiving;
$ yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. |
even to them that believe on my name. |
|
Amen. |
Amen. |
