About the ESV Bible...

Premise The ESV (English Standard Version) Bible is based on the premise that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. As Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

A Word-for-Word Translation With this foundational premise in mind, the ESV Bible is based on “word-for-word” translation principles. (For a full explanation of “word-for-word” and “thought-forthought” translation principles, see the ESV Preface on the inside back cover.)

As a “word-for-word” Bible translation (also known as “essentially literal”), the ESV seeks to express every possible nuance of meaning residing in the original Greek and Hebrew words of the Bible—and thus to capture and convey the timeless truth, beauty, and depth of meaning of the original Greek and Hebrew, in a clear and compelling way in the English Bible text of the ESV. Essential Words The ESV likewise retains the foundational words of biblical Christian teaching— essential words such as grace, mercy, justification, sanctification, and salvation— words that express the heart of the gospel and the life of the church.

The ESV thus carries forward the historic stream of essentially literal Bible translation, as exemplified so beautifully in the King James Version and its legacy, which is represented by several other essentially literal Bible translations published during the last 400 years.

Ideally Suited for Personal Reading and In-Depth Study For this reason, the ESV Bible is ideally suited for both devotional reading and indepth study—to read and treasure, to study and memorize, for worship and preaching, for personal reading and family devotions, as a lifelong gift for our children and grandchildren, for all who love God’s Word.

ESV Standard Permanent Text—Unchanged Forever Beginning in summer of 2016, the text of the ESV Bible will remain unchanged forever—in the same way that the KJV has remained unchanged ever since the final KJV text was established almost 250 years ago (in 1769). Thus, all present and future editions of the ESV reprinted and published by Crossway will contain the Standard Permanent Text of the ESV Bible—unchanged forever—throughout the life of the copyright and in perpetuity. This means that current readers of the ESV—as well their children and grandchildren—will be able to read, study, and memorize the ESV unchanged for generations to come.

Milestones—100 Million Printed Copies and More Since the ESV was first published in 2001, several milestones have been reached including: • More than 100 million printed copies of the ESV Bible have been distributed worldwide • Printed ESV distribution increased more than ten-fold during the last five years • During the last 12 months more than 30 million print copies were distributed worldwide • Well over 100 million digital copies also have been distributed during the last 15 years

All Glory to God Alone First and foremost, we would give all glory to God alone, for his gracious provision in reaching these milestones .

With Our Great Appreciation We would likewise express our great appreciation to the innumerable partners around the world who, by God’s grace, have contributed to the realization of these milestones— through bookstores and distributors; through publishing partnerships and licenses; through church and ministry relationships—in over 60 countries around the world .

But we would also express our equally great appreciation for the many tens of millions of people who have adopted the ESV as their primary source of truth and beauty and righteousness in their personal relationship with God—through the redeeming work of our Savior Jesus, and by means of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit .

With our great appreciation for our partnership with you, on behalf of the entire Crossway publishing team, Lane T . Dennis, PhD President and CEO

ESV PASTOR’S BIBLE A pastor depends on the wisdom of Scripture for all aspects of ministry. What truths can be relied upon in seasons of celebration and in those of sorrow? What does the Bible have to say to us about marriage, sickness, and death? The ESV Pastor’s Bible was designed to help pastors draw wisdom from God’s Word for specific situations requiring pastoral care, such as baptisms, weddings, hospital visits, or funerals. In the front, back, and throughout the text, the Pastor’s Bible contains articles written by pastors offering practical help for crafting a sermon, planning a special service, leading congregational prayer, conducting premarital counseling, visiting the sick, and resolving conflict within the church. With content from The Pastor’s Book compiled under the guidance of seasoned pastors R. Kent Hughes and Douglas Sean O’Donnell, this substantial but portable edition is a great all-in-one resource for the on-the-ground pastor.

When the Scriptures are seen as pointing us to salvation through faith in Christ, then, if dealt with in its context, any part of the Bible must be evangelistic. My observation is that most preachers know only the individual verses are to be understood in the immediate context of the particular books from which they come. Not everyone, however, seems to remember to place particular parts in their overall biblical context. When this is done, the sermon will be evangelistic, because it will show how this particular part fits into the whole revelation. If we cannot show how some part of the Bible fits into the overarching revelation of ‘God reconciling the world to himself in Christ’ (2 Cor. 5:19), there is a good chance that we have misunderstood it.

Luke 24:44-47 To the question, ‘What is the overall message of the Bible?’ there might be many answers: it is a revelation of God’s character; it is a record of the ‘mighty deeds of God’. While these are true, they do no justice to the Bible’s overriding theme.

The Bible shows above all how God reconciles the world to himself in Christ.

When the risen Lord Jesus appeared to the two disciples on their way to Emmaus, he chided them for not understanding the fact that he, the Messiah, had to suffer before entering into his glory [see Luke 24:25-27]. . . . Later that day, the risen Lord Jesus appeared to his disciples in the Upper Room. He commented:

Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures . . . ‘This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations . . . ‘ (Lk. 24:44-47) It was by reference to the Old Testament Scriptures that Jesus chose to interpret the events of his life. . . . The Old Testament as well as the New has it focus on the Lord Jesus who is the centre of God’s plans for the creation (Eph. 3:11). No doubt this is why Paul is able to say that the Scriptures . . . are able to make us ‘wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus’ (2 Tim. 3:15).

NT & Portions

When the Scriptures are seen as pointing us to salvation through faith in Christ, then, if dealt with in its context, any part of the Bible must be evangelistic. My observation is that most preachers know only the individual verses are to be understood in the immediate context of the particular books from which they come. Not everyone, however, seems to remember to place particular parts in their overall biblical context. When this is done, the sermon will be evangelistic, because it will show how this particular part fits into the whole revelation. If we cannot show how some part of the Bible fits into the overarching revelation of ‘God reconciling the world to himself in Christ’ (2 Cor. 5:19), there is a good chance that we have misunderstood it.

It was by reference to the Old Testament Scriptures that Jesus chose to interpret the events of his life. . . . The Old Testament as well as the New has it focus on the Lord Jesus who is the centre of God’s plans for the creation (Eph. 3:11). No doubt this is why Paul is able to say that the Scriptures . . . are able to make us ‘wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus’ (2 Tim. 3:15).

The Fall Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You3 shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,4 she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

Genesis 1:6

The Creation of the World

1

c 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

1:1–11:26 The first part of Genesis presents God as the Creator (1:1–2:3) and righteous overseer of humanity (2:4–11:26). The story develops a drama beginning with the creation of the world and with the creation of human beings as the climactic act.

They alone are made in the divine image.

The communion with the Lord enabled by humans’ divine image-bearing, however, is shattered by their rebelliousness: (1) the rebellion of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden and of their descendants outside of the garden; (2) the evil of humanity before the flood (6:9–9:29); and (3) the arrogance of humanity at Babel (11:1–9).

Chapter 1 1 a Job 38:4-7; Ps. 33:6; 136:5; Isa. 42:5; 45:18; John 1:1-3; Acts 14:15; 17:24; Col. 1:16, 17; Heb. 1:10; 11:3; Rev. 4:11 2 b Jer. 4:23 c 3 2 Cor. 4:6

Rev. 21:1). God’s Spirit consequently demonstrates his redeeming presence from the very beginning (Gen. 1:2). There are no aspects of creation, including those of disorder and malevolence, over which God is not ultimately bringing a redemptive order.

Matthew’s mention of the dove in the account of Jesus’ baptism (Matt. 3:13–17) may also echo back to the Spirit hovering over the face of the waters. The verb “hover” suggests the movement of a bird. Such an appearance of the Spirit over God’s Son indicates that Jesus has come with God’s power and prerogative to renew creation.

In all this we see God’s gracious delight in his created world. For every created thing, God provides a natural and hospitable environment. This is supremely the case for humanity made in his image.

1:3–13 Three days reveal the formation of creation. God separates light from darkness (days 1 and 4). He also separates the water into sky above and water below, and separates the land from the water (days 2 and 3; cf. 2 Pet. 3:5). God’s word establishes order, revealing his will to make the earth his kingdom and to prepare it for human rule. At every stage, God is for his creation.

The repetition of “God said” connects God, the creation of the world, and God’s word. The tenfold repetition in Genesis 1 confirms that all is made by his word (Psalm 33; cf. Heb. 11:3; 2 Pet. 3:5; John 1:1). The prominence of light on days 1 and 4, together with the repetition of “evening and morning” and “day,” highlights the temporal dimension of God’s creation. In his kind condescension, God establishes time. Throughout history and particularly at the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ, God himself enters time. He is the Lord of time and of the Sabbath (see Gen. 2:1–3).

In the new creation, the light of the sun will be nothing compared to the radiance of God’s presence (Isa. 60:19; Zech. 14:6–7; Rev. 21:23). Darkness and water, though a part of God’s world, have negative associations with chaos—yet God is in absolute control. Jesus’ calming of the storm demonstrates his own divine identity, manifesting not only his power but also his gentle concern for his followers (Matt. 8:26–27).

1:1–2 The drama of redemption begins “in the beginning.” Genesis is more concerned with God the Creator than with the time or details of creation. He is the sovereign King whose kingdom was orderly and good, but which is in need of redemption because of the tragedy of human sin. In the New Testament, John 1:1 associates the Word of the Creator with Jesus Christ. The early church confessed readily that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit were all involved in the work of creation, reinforcing early Christian beliefs about the Trinity.

All creation, in short, reflects God’s goodness: darkness and light, sun and moon, the earth with its vegetation, the animal world, and supremely humanity. God’s goodness is also found in marriage (Gen. 2:24) and in food and drink (2:16). These benefits are to be received with thanksgiving (1 Tim. 4:4). And all of these wonderful blessings are an echo of the supreme goodness of God ultimately manifested in

Indeed, Jesus is the one without whom nothing exists (Col. 1:16). He is “the firstborn” of creation by his resurrection (Col. 1:15, 18). Darkness, water, and the deep (Gen. 1:2) suggest an uninhabitable world, which in the Old Testament is associated with opposition, battle, and even demonic presence. Thus, there are consistent images in the Bible of the sea being subdued as signs of God’s bringing a new and redeemed order to his world (see 1:2; 7–9; Ex. 14:19–30; Jonah 1:12–15; Mark 4:37–39;

NT & Portions

1:1–2:3 The Creator is the sovereign King of the whole world. The Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) taught Israel to embrace the uniqueness of God (instead of polytheism), the power of God’s word in creation and redemption, and God’s gracious election of humans to serve him in his priestly kingdom. From the beginning to the very end of the Bible (Revelation 21–22), the Creator is the Redeemer of the world. The triune God is the Maker of heaven and earth: the Father speaks creation into being through the Son and by the operation of the Holy Spirit (see Gen. 1:1–2; Ps. 33:6; 104:30; John 1:1–3; 4:34; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2; 11:3).

Children

1:3–31 The six days of creation are connected by the repetition of key words and phrases. The tendency to read them only sequentially is challenged by various literary features, including the account of the fourth day repeating the vocabulary of the first three days and the seventh day marking the completion of all of God’s creative acts but lacking phrases such as “God said” or “it was evening and morning.” God forms the various realms of the world (days 1–3) and then fills each with appropriate entities and diverse life forms (days 4–6).

This final episode of turning from dependence upon God introduces the reader to the ancestors and relatives of Abraham (11:10–26), through whose descendants, and supremely through Jesus Christ, God would redeem the world for all who choose to depend upon him. Indeed, at each stage in the history of Genesis there is the hope of redemption in the midst of humanity’s failures: (1) Enoch walked with the Lord and was taken up to heaven; (2) Noah, a second Adam through whom humanity would get a second start, walked with God and was instrumental in saving humanity, being appropriately named God’s “comforter” despite his and his family’s sin; and (3) Abraham, despite his flaws, acted in faith and became the father of the faithful.

Devotional

In the a beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was b without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

h 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.

14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for i signs and for j seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let

And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. g 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.

10 4 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

PROFILE: SARAH

KEY REFERENCE: GENESIS 17:15–16

18:1–15 The Lord appears to Abraham and announces that Sarah will bear a son, about this time next year.

18:1 Although Abram settled at the oaks of Mamre many years earlier (13:18), he is still dwelling in a tent (see Heb. 11:9).

18:2 Abraham’s actions suggest that he viewed the three men as very important. he ran. In the Middle East, a socially prominent elderly man would not normally respond in this way. bowed himself to the earth. While this may have been a common greeting (see 19:1), it shows that Abraham regards the visitors as worthy of great respect.

18:3 O Lord. The term here is a distinctive one for God in the OT (e.g., 20:4). The polite term of respect “my lord” (e.g., 23:6) has a slight difference of spelling in Hebrew. Clearly Abraham recognizes that one of his visitors is divine.

18:4–8 Although Abraham speaks of a little water and a morsel of bread, he prepares a large meal. The writer of Hebrews was probably thinking of the events of vv. 2–8 and 19:1–3 when he wrote of people who had “entertained angels unawares” (Heb. 13:2).

Four Kinds of Abraham’s Offspring Explanation

Examples

Natural, physical offspring

Physical descendants of Abraham

Ishmael, Isaac, the sons of Keturah (and by extension Esau, Jacob, etc.)

Natural, yet special offspring

Physical descendants of Abraham especially tied to God’s elective and saving purposes

Isaac (by extension Jacob and the entire nation of Israel)

Promised offspring

The true, unique offspring of Abraham

A distinctive line of offspring, starting earlier with Seth and continuing through Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Israel, and David, culminating in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:16)

Spiritual offspring

Those united with Christ (the promised offspring)

Jews and Gentiles who trust in the Messiah

ancient cultures for a married man to take a servant as a wife (16:2). But this was contrary to God’s original design for marriage (2:24).

18:16–19:29 The Lord reveals to Abraham his plan to destroy Sodom and then carries out that plan. Through Abraham’s intercession, Lot and his two daughters escape. The city’s destruction is fully justified because of its overwhelming wickedness (compare 13:13).

18:17–19 God tells Abraham what he is about to do, since Abraham has a unique role to fulfill regarding his own descendants and all the nations of the earth.

18:21 I will go down to see. This remark does not mean that God’s knowledge is limited (compare 11:5). It simply means he is giving his direct attention to the matter.

18:23–25 Abraham’s response is probably prompted by his concern for Lot. Abraham wonders if God intends to destroy the righteous along with the wicked.

18:26–33 God eventually affirms that for the sake of ten I will not destroy Sodom (v. 32). He assures Abraham that he will not punish the righteous along with the wicked.

19:1–3 The two angels. These are the two men who accompanied the ting in the gate of Sodom. These verses parallel the opening verses of ch. 18. Like Abraham, Lot greets the two men by bowing before them, offering them hospitality. There is no report of his wife assisting him. Unleavened bread implies it was baked in haste.

Abraham Intercedes for Sodom 22 i So the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham j still stood before the Lord. 23 Then Abraham drew near and said, k “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, l so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! m Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” 26 And the Lord said, n “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

27 Abraham answered and said, o “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. 28 Suppose five of the fifty righteous

a great nation (see 25:12–18), even though God favors the yet-tobe-born Isaac.

G e n e sis 1 8 :28 looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. 17 The Lord said, c “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be d blessed in him? 19 For I have e chosen5 him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice, so that the Lord may bring to Abraham what he has promised him.” 20 Then the Lord said, “Because f the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, 21 g I will go down to see whether they have done altogether6 according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, h I will know.”

Children

Sarah was Abraham’s wife and was also his halfsister. On two occasions, to save himself from possible danger, Abraham said that Sarah was his “sister,” failing to mention that she was also his wife.

After many years of not being able to bear children, Sarah encouraged Abraham to start a family with her maidservant, Hagar. This plan backfired when, upon conceiving, Hagar became condescending toward Sarah. Later, God promised Abraham that he would give him a son through Sarah. Since she was 90 years old at the time, and Abraham himself was 100, Sarah’s initial response to the promise was laughter. However, one year later, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the child of promise. She thus became an ancestor of Christ.

in front of him. p When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth 3 and said, “O Lord,1 if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a q little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree, 5 while I bring a morsel of bread, that r you may refresh yourselves, and after that you may pass on—s since you have come to your servant.” So they said, “Do as you have said.” 6 And Abraham went quickly into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quick! Three seahs2 of fine flour!

Knead it, and make cakes.” 7 And Abraham ran to the herd and took a calf, tender and good, and gave it to a young man, who prepared it quickly.

8 Then he took curds and milk and the calf that he had prepared, and set it before them. And he stood by them under the tree while they ate.

9 They said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?”

And he said, “She is t in the tent.” 10 The Lord said, “I will surely return to you u about this time next year, and v Sarah your wife shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him.

11 Now wAbraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years. The way of women had ceased to be with Sarah. 12 x So Sarah laughed to herself, saying, y z “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?” 13 The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ 14 a Is anything too hard3 for the Lord? bAt the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied it,4 saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. He said, “No, but you did laugh.”

16 Then the men set out from there, and they

22 When he had finished talking with him, n God went up from Abraham. 23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

And the Lord appeared to him by the o oaks4 of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent in the heat of the day. 2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing

Isaac’s Birth Promised 15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah1 shall be her name. 16 I will bless her, and moreover, I will c give2 you a son by her. I will bless her, and d she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” 17 Then Abraham e fell on his face f and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” 19 God said, “No, but g Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name h Isaac.3 I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and i multiply him greatly.

1:1–18 These verses constitute the prologue, which introduces many of the major themes that John will treat, especially the main theme that “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God” (vv. 12–14, 18; cf. 20:31). Several key words repeated throughout the Gospel (e.g., life, light, witness, glory) appear here. The remainder of the Actual Type Size Gospel develops the theme of the prologue as to how the eternal “Word” of God, Jesus the Messiah and Son of God, became flesh and ministered among men so that all who believe in him would be saved. Although John wrote the prologue with the simplest vocabulary in the NT, the truths that the prologue conveys are the most profound. Six basic truths about Christ as the Son of God are featured

John uses the word “life” about 36 times in his Gospel, far more than any other NT book. It refers not only in a broad sense to physical and temporal life that the Son imparted to the created world through his involve-

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Devotional

eeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.

Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

READER’S BIBLE The ESV Reader’s Bible was created for those who want to read the books of Scripture precisely as they were originally written. Verse numbers, section headings, and translation footnotes are helpful navigational and interpretive tools, but they are also relatively recent conventions. In the Reader’s Bible they have been removed from the Bible text, and the result is a new kind of Bible-reading experience in a volume that presents Scripture as one extended storyline.

On the top of each page a verse range is included for orientation.

Other features include a single-column text setting, readable type, and a book-like format. The Reader’s Bible is a simple but elegant edition, and is perfect for devotional reading or extended Bible reading that focuses on the overarching narrative of God’s Word.

Children

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up— for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said,

heavens.” So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.

And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind.

And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Behold, the Lamb of God 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” Jesus Calls the First Disciples 35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.8 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus9 was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which

The Wedding at Cana On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.3 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone

Jesus Cleanses the Temple 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, a “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,5 and will you raise it up in three days?”

21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Jesus Knows What Is in Man 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.

24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people 25 and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.

You Must Be Born Again Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

2 This man came to Jesus6 by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael 43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee.

He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”

44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!”

48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”

50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe?

You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,2 you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

NT & Portions

The Testimony of John the Baptist 19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then?

Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am a the

voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight7 the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life,1 and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,2 and his own people3 did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who 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 became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’ ”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.4 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,5 who is at the Father’s side,6 he has made him known.

The Wedding at Cana On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.5 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.”

And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers6 and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

NT & Portions

Behold, the Lamb of God 29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael 43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?”

Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” 49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you,4 you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”

The Testimony of John the Baptist 19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am a the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight7 the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” 28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Devotional

The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,1 and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own,2 and his own people3 did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who 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 became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.4 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God,5 who is at the Father’s side,6 he has made him known.

J o h n 2 :15 Jesus Calls the First Disciples 35 The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and you will see.”

So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.1 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus2 was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). 42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter3).

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat 1 of it you shall surely die.”

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for 2 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed 3 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam 4 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made 5 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,

24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds— livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.

25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man 1 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

The three young men were very respectful to the king. But they told him, “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But if not, O king, we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

Now King Nebuchadnezzar was even more furious!

He ordered that the fire should be heated seven times hotter than it had been before. Then he told his soldiers to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the burning fiery furnace.

But when King Nebuchadnezzar looked into the furnace to see what had happened, he was amazed. He saw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego walking around in the fire—not hurt at all!

Then the king said, “Did we not cast three men into the fire?” Yes, his servants answered. “But I see four men walking in the midst of the fire,” Nebuchadnezzar said, “and they are not hurt!” And the fourth man looks like “a son of the gods.”

The king had Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego taken out of the furnace.

Not even their hair or the clothes had been burned. And they didn’t even smell like smoke!

Then the king said to all the people, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants, who trusted in Him.” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were willing to give up their lives to worship and trust only the one true God. God protected them and saved them from the fiery furnace!

God calls us to worship and trust Him alone, for only He can save us. God sent His Son Jesus to die on the cross for us—to take the punishment we deserve and to save us from our sins. Jesus is our Savior and our God. 3

hadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were three young men who believed in God and worshiped Him. Enemy soldiers took them to a faraway country where the king and the people did not love God. One day, King Nebuchadnezzar made a huge golden idol that was 90 feet tall. The king had his servant command everyone, “When you hear the sound of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.”

When the music started to play, most of the people bowed down—but not Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They loved the one true God, and they refused to bow to the idol.

This made King Nebuchadnezzar furious. He warned the three young men that they must bow down to the idol, or he would throw them into the fiery furnace. “And who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?” he asked.

January 6 Matthew 3:13–17 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things.

E VENING “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you.” Deut. 31:8

The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory.—For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Deut. 31:8. Ex. 33:15. Jer. 10:23. Ps. 37:23, 24. Ps. 73:23, 24. Rom. 8:38, 39.

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

The Fall Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You10 shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,11 she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool1 of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”2 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the

And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.”—I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made8 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,

The Seventh Day, God Rests Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

5 When no bush of the field1 was yet in the land2 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist3 was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground— 7 then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat4 of it you shall surely die.”

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for5 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed6 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam7 there was not found a helper fit for him.

You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.

WHY DOES JOHN CALL JESUS THE “LAMB OF GOD”?

Because Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy. Just as a lamb would be sacrificed in the Old Testament to atone for the people’s sins, Jesus is the Lamb who was sacrificed to pay for the sins of his people.

The “Word” had significance both for Jews and for non-Jews. For Jews, it was the “Word” of God that created all things in Genesis 1. For non-Jews (Greeks), the “word” was the organizing principle of the universe, the cosmic mind behind everything. For both Jews and non-Jews, Jesus is the true “Word.” (1:1–3)

The Testimony of John the Baptist 19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”

20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” 21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?”

He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?”

And he answered, “No.” 22 So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) 25 They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 26 John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, 27 even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”

28 These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The Word Became Flesh In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through 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 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who 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 became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’ ”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law

READER’S GOSPELS The ESV Reader’s Gospels invites the reader to approach each Gospel—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—as its own unified, cohesive story. The text is presented in a beautifully designed single-column format and is printed on cream, opaque book paper. All verse numbers, chapter numbers, footnotes, and crossreferences have been removed, resulting in a text that reads like a novel. Occasional section headings alert the reader to thematic shifts in the narrative, and these headings are also located at the top of the page to assist in navigation.

The Reader’s Gospels helps readers immerse themselves in God’s Word so that they can see afresh the beauty and glory of Jesus Christ and the power of the gospel.

nd this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” So they said to him, “Who are you? We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself ?” He said, “I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.”

(Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.) They asked him, “Then why are you baptizing, if you are neither the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” John answered them, “I baptize with water, but among you stands one you do not know, even he who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.” These things

took place in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as he walked by and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and you will see.” So they came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers, is a not-for-profit Christian ministry and exists solely for the purpose of proclaiming the gospel through publishing and other means in order, by God’s grace: (a) to bring men, women, and children to Christ as their Lord and Savior; (b) to help individual Christians and the church grow in knowledge and understanding of the Christian life; (c) to bear witness to God’s Truth, Beauty, and Holiness, and the Lordship of Christ in every area of life; and (d) to glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in every way. Any surpluses which may arise shall be used solely to further the ministry and shall not enure to the benefit of any individual.

From the ESV Preface Translation Philosophy The ESV is an “essentially literal” translation that seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer. As such, its emphasis is on “word-for-word” correspondence, at the same time taking into account differences of grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages. Thus it seeks to be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and meaning of the original.

In contrast to the ESV, some Bible versions have followed a “thought-forthought” rather than “word-for-word” translation philosophy, emphasizing “dynamic equivalence” rather than the “essentially literal” meaning of the original. A “thoughtfor-thought” translation is of necessity more inclined to reflect the interpretive opinions of the translator and the influences of contemporary culture.

Every translation is at many points a trade-off between literal precision and readability, between “formal equivalence” in expression and “functional equivalence” in communication, and the ESV is no exception. Within this framework we have sought to be “as literal as possible” while maintaining clarity of expression and literary excellence.

Therefore, to the extent that plain English permits and the meaning in each case allows, we have sought to use the same English word for important recurring words in the original; and, as far as grammar and syntax allow, we have rendered Old Testament passages cited in the New in ways that show their correspondence. Thus in each of these areas, as well as throughout the Bible as a whole, we have sought to capture the echoes and overtones of meaning that are so abundantly present in the original texts.

As an essentially literal translation, then, the ESV seeks to carry over every possible nuance of meaning in the original words of Scripture into our own language. As such, the ESV is ideally suited for in-depth study of the Bible. Indeed, with its emphasis on literary excellence, the ESV is equally suited for public reading and preaching, for private reading and reflection, for both academic and devotional study, and for Scripture memorization.

Translation Principles and Style The ESV also carries forward classic translation principles in its literary style.

Accordingly it retains theological terminology—words such as grace, faith, justification, sanctification, redemption, regeneration, reconciliation, propitiation—because of their central importance for Christian doctrine and also because the underlying Greek words were already becoming key words and technical terms in New Testament times. (continued on outside back cover)

(ESV Preface, continued from inside back cover)

The ESV lets the stylistic variety of the biblical writers fully express itself—from the exalted prose that opens Genesis, to the flowing narratives of the historical books, to the rich metaphors and dramatic imagery of the poetic books, to the ringing rhetorical indictments in the prophetic books, to the smooth elegance of Luke, to the profound simplicities of John, and the closely reasoned logic of Paul.

Publishing Team The ESV publishing team includes more than a hundred people. The fourteenmember Translation Oversight Committee has benefited from the work of more than fifty biblical experts serving as Translation Review Scholars and from the comments of the more than fifty members of the Advisory Council, all of which has been carried out under the auspices of the Crossway Board of Directors. This hundred-plusmember team shares a common commitment to the truth of God’s Word and to historic Christian orthodoxy and is international in scope, including leaders in many denominations.

To God’s Honor and Praise We know that no Bible translation is perfect or final; but we also know that God uses imperfect and inadequate things to his honor and praise. So to our triune God and to his people we offer what we have done, with our prayers that it may prove useful, with gratitude for much help given, and with ongoing wonder that our God should ever have entrusted to us so momentous a task.

Soli Deo Gloria—To God alone be the glory, On behalf of the Crossway Board and The ESV Translation Oversight Committee.
