Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.\par
Jesus answered him, {\cf6 I have spoken openly to the world; I ever taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and in secret spake I nothing.
I have not spoken in secret, in a place of the land of darkness; I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.\par
{\cf6 {\b The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,\par\tab Because he anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor:\par\tab He hath sent me to proclaim release to the captives,\par\tab And recovering of sight to the blind,\par\tab To set at liberty them that are bruised,}
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment.
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye peoples: let the earth hear, and the fulness thereof; the world, and all things that come forth from it.
