emblemmusic replied to emblemmusic's topic in Music and Sound FXThank you for the feedback Brian, it is really very much appreciated! Kenji's questions, "[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=3][left][background=rgb(250, 251, 252)] if you compose something and the client is not satisfied do you make another song of the same lenght for him? " i[/background][/left][/size][/font][/color]s kind of an awkward one, and I don't think quite the correct way to think about it. I mean, short answer yes I couldn't leave a customer dissatisfied and just say, "tough"... But what Brian was saying about polishing, say, 16 bars of a piece, then running it by the client, to make sure my vision is congruent with theirs, that seems like a better process. What do you think? Thanks, -Jason [url="http://www.emblemmusic.com"]http://www.emblemmusic.com[/url]
emblemmusic replied to emblemmusic's topic in GDNet LoungeI find I have less and less time to devote to gaming (with wife, kids, other activities, other amazing titles, etc.). So the face that Blizzard has been going down the less customizable, more homogenized path to appeal to casual gamers, it doesn't bother me. I'd much rather jump into a game and be having fun in 10 minutes, than taking 2-3 hours to perfectly set up my UI, figure out controls, etc.
emblemmusic posted a topic in GDNet LoungeFigure this is compulsory, with the launch just hours away... Who all is going to playing at midnight? How big of a success will D3 be? Will it have legs? Will it diminishes the audiences of other games, ie. Torchlight 2? -Jason http://www.emblemmusic.com
emblemmusic posted a topic in For BeginnersI just launched my music production company: [url="http://www.emblemmusic.com"]http://www.emblemmusic.com[/url] I am wondering, how do I get customers? If I don't know anyone in the industry, what is the best way to advertise? Right now I am offering 5 free minutes of custom music with any contract, as a way to get my foot in the door. Is this a good idea? Bad idea? Got other ideas? Anything is appreciated, thanks! -Jason firstname.lastname@example.com
emblemmusic replied to Servant of the Lord's topic in GDNet LoungeI used StartLogic, they are pretty much like GoDaddy I think, but I've heard a lot of bad about the latter. They have a WordPress plug-in and they are great for people that are complete novices at all things web (like myself). -Jason http://www.emblemmusic.com
emblemmusic replied to Shea2310's topic in Music and Sound FXI like the music overall, I picture myself in a zombie FPS, and I creep through a ruined office building and there is a radio laying on the ground as I move by, Forlorn Possibilities is playing, or something... The instrumentation is a little "vanilla" feeling for me. I don't know if that is the overall quality of the strings and piano, or what. It feels like music from a game you loaded up on your Windows 95 machine and booted off a CD-ROM. I agree about the mastering. Even something like Sound Forge or Wavelab (or whatever your wave editor is) can serve as a mastering tool to eq, compress, and normalize. -Jason http://www.emblemmusic.com
emblemmusic replied to SebastianBrkic's topic in Music and Sound FXI listened to a little bit of, I think, four pieces. They all are the same genre/sound. My only criticism would be that. If you want to get into music production, you may want to branch out and show off many varied styles. -Jason http://www.emblemmusic.com
emblemmusic replied to emblemmusic's topic in Music and Sound FXI am very open to feedback - I am trying to break into this industry and malleability is a big part of that I believe. Customer service is priority #1, but I don't see it getting so far as completing a piece of music, then a client simply not liking it. There will be a very open dialogue through each step of the process, the client involved in approving each step before we proceed to the next step. But short answer - yes I would have to, if a client took a step back and decided they wanted to scrap the piece of music, I would be willing to work with them. The benefit of having a backlog of 200+ unpublished compositions means I could also reach into that library, run a few ideas by a client, and then when they found something (the feel of which they like) I could build on that.
emblemmusic posted a topic in Music and Sound FXI just launched my website: [url="http://www.emblemmusic.com."]http://www.emblemmusic.com.[/url] I have already purchased a classified ad through this website, but can people provide me with other tips? Game developers - what do you look for / how do you search for a music production company? What things can I do to increase visibility and get customers? Thanks! -Jason

2011 Ram 3500 DRW "Death Wobble"
I have a 2011 Ram 3500 DRW 4x4 with 13,321 miles on it. I purchased the truck new. Back from a trip, I hit a pothole with the right front tire and all hell broke loose. I was going 40 mph at the time, in heavy traffic when the truck started violently shaking. I applied the brakes (as I have done in the past) when the front end started shaking, the truck started bouncing, front and back and I could not control the vehicle. Once my speed dropped below 5 mph I was able to steer the truck to the side of the road. The truck was towed to the nearest Chrysler dealer, and they eventually replaced the steering stabilizer. My truck was laid up for 12 days, at two (2) different dealers, and it still has the wobble. The wobble is not as severe because of the "New" Stabilizer, but the problem is still there, just being masked. Sorry for the long first post. Any Ideas... Warranty is still good.
once dw occurs, you need to go look at every nut and bolt and make sure every hole is not out of round on every component. keep going back and lemon law this if they won't fix this. much more info on jeepforum about dw.
also, if you find any loose, and not of round, it needs to re torqued to spec.
Excellent advice
that is excellent advice. My case was being handled by someone in St Louis. Now they have changed my case number, and moved to Warren MI.
Round #3 - Bell rings. While at home for lunch, I get this call from Chrysler. Seems like case worker #2 was replaced by case worker #3. Mike from Chrysler said he has taken over my case and will look into it. He will make arrangements for my truck to be taken to the dealer that I purchased it from. This is the same thing that case worker #2 had said...
Question for you Ram owners... Should I "Really" start to complain now, or let them keep playing their game? I have been complaining, but not to the point of yelling... I really don't want to go there. Please advise.
Ram owners - I just created an email account:
send me an email with details if you have experienced the death wobble
Been going through the exact same thing with ram for about 2 months now and they have repalced everything ball joints,stabilizer,tie rod ends etc... now after the 3rd time they finally agreed to let me put in heavy duty ball joints and all new front end components because the DW is a know issue now with ram in their heavy duty trucks and " they are working on a solution". it finally took 2 months and alot of down time but she is finally fixed. Ram allows so much play in their ball joints and front end parts that unless they are clunking or out of specs you will have to fight to get em replaced. Good luck with it it will be a fight till the end but once they fix it all you should be good. Also have them replace your track bar because that was the first thing that went on mine. First set of joints and track bar i had done at 18,000 miles, sencond set at 28,000 miles, 3rd time was tie rod ends,heavy duty stabilizer, and steering linkage at 40,000 now again all new ball joints,wheel bearings, tie rod ends again,stabilizer ,and track bar 48,000 miles

Beating the Drums of Orientalism
The US occupation of Iraq, coupled with its attendant deployment of sectarianism as a political technology, has foreclosed the possibility of non-sectarian modes of seeing, or critiquing political life in Iraq. In "Shiites and Sunnis in post-US Iraq: separate and unequal; some predict dissolution of country," the five contributors, four of whom are writing from Iraq, adopt this lens in reflecting on the contentious relationship between Sunnis and Shias in Iraq. In the article, originally published by The Associated Press and re-posted by The Washington Post and The Washington Times, the authors hone in on the Shia persecution of vulnerable Sunnis in the aftermath of the withdrawal of US troops. Such a portrayal shows the occupying imperial power as a neutral arbiter of Iraq's religious communities, or in the authors' words, as Iraq's "peacemakers." Without them, we are told, Iraq's Sunni minority has to fend for itself in a now Shia-dominated country.
Instead of providing a historically informed, nuanced analysis of the current situation in Iraq, where everyone bears the brunt of sectarianism, the authors resort to the simplistic and oft cited ahistorical binary of Sunnis vs. Shias. They mention the word "Iraqis" only once, as if only sectarian subjects, not Iraqis, inhabit Iraq. Reading this article raises the ghosts of works by Gertrude Bell, in which she expresses fear of Shias, albeit in a very different Iraq, except unlike her depictions, the article is devoid of any eloquence. It also uncritically replicates the common media (mis)representations of Iraq since 2003. These perceive Iraq as a place consisting of three antagonistic groups, namely Sunnis, Shias and Kurds. As such, the article reproduces an Orientalist trope in which on the one hand stands a benevolent colonial occupying power while on the other, the inhabitants, who belong to two opposing sectarian groups: the one predatory, the other persecuted.
The article erases the recent history of US occupation and its attendant imperial politics of subjugation. That thousands of Iraqis were killed, wounded, maimed, and displaced because of this occupation is completely dismissed. As are the consequences of the 2007 US troop surge, which deepened the ethnic and sectarian segregation of neighborhoods in Baghdad. The article also remains silent on the fact that the US administration, in collaboration with the exiled Iraqi opposition to Saddam Hussein, institutionalized a sectarian quota system after toppling the Iraqi regime in 2003. By so doing, the occupation regime has entrenched and set the tone of political sectarianism in a way that appears to be inescapable, but in reality, is not.
By stressing the historical and political contexts of Iraqi sectarianism, I do not wish to deny the prevalent sectarian tensions that exist today, or the multiple injuries that have resulted since and have not left any segment of society unscathed. However, to fail to address this context, to treat the current lived reality in Iraqi primarily as one of a dominant sect (Shia) persecuting a helpless sect (Sunnis), to leave unaddressed questions of power and the implications of a ruling elite (whether Sunni, Shia or Kurd) invested in sectarian power sharing, is in and of itself an injury against an Iraqi people already reeling under the weight of occupation, war, unemployment, and lack of basic services.
The authors speak of Sunnis and Shias as two homogenous, insulated groups. Yet education, political views, religious loyalties, class, gender, sexuality, and place of residence play an important role in the ways Iraqis identify themselves and consequently, their access to jobs and privileges. While institutional sectarianism privileges the ruling elites, it also largely informs regional and international strategic interests in Iraq. Probing the question of power thus sheds light on the role of the United States in producing and perpetuating such a system, while simultaneously exposing the role that neighboring states have played in Iraqi affairs since 2003.
What is most troubling about the article is the implicit idea that an Iraqi people does not exist. Only Sunnis and Shias do. The authors further depict the divisions among these two groups as resilient and persistent. Implicit in this argument is the Orientalist discourse that Iraqis cannot outgrow these primordial affiliations in order to develop national sentiments. However, a quick look at the modern history of Iraq shows that secular political parties dominated the political scene until the rise of Saddam Hussein to power in 1979, that neighborhoods were always mixed, and that religion played a minor role in defining social and political relations. More dangerously, not only does this argument absolve several US administrations of any culpabilities, it commends occupation. When the US troops are presented as "protectors" of the Sunni community, one is faced, yet again, with a yearning for the benevolent occupier to save a defenseless group of natives from the hands of another aggressive group!

Chapter 17
|King James Version
|Proposed Conservative Translation
|Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
|Then he said to the disciples, "It is necessary that terrible things will happen, but woe to him who causes them!
|It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
|It would be better for him if a large stone were hung on his neck and he was thrown into the sea, than that he should harm one of these little ones.
|Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
|Remember always, that if another should harm you, you should rebuke him, and if he repents, you should forgive him.
|And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
|And if he harms you seven times in one day, and seven times in a day turns to you and repents, you should forgive him."
|And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
|The apostles asked the Lord to increase their faith.
|And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
|And the Lord said, "If your faith was as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this Mulberry tree, 'Get up from your roots, and plant yourself in the sea,' and it would obey you."
|Sycamine=mulberry See Jamieson, Fausset & Brown and Adam Clarke
|But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
|But which of you will say to a servant, when he has finished his tasks for the day, go and rest well and eat?
|And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
|Rather than prepare my dinner and wait upon me until I have finished; only then may you go and eat.
|Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
|Do you thank the servant because he did as you ordered him? I think not.
|So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
|So shall you, when you have done all of the things you have been told to do, declare your dedication, and that you have done what you must do."
|And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
|Later, on His way to Jerusalem, He passed through Samaria and Galilee.
|And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
|As he went into a certain village, he was met by ten men with leprosy, who had been standing at a distance.
|And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
|They called to him, and said 'Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us.'
|And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
|When He saw them, He said 'Go show yourselves to the priests. And, as they obeyed him, they were healed.
|And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
|One of them, seeing he was healed, went back, loudly giving praise to God.
|And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
|The man, a Samaritan, fell down at Jesus' feet and thanked Him.
|And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
|Jesus said to him, "Weren't ten healed? Where are the other nine?
|There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
|Only this man, a Samaritan, came back to give praise and glory to God."
|And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
|Jesus said to the man, "Get up, and go. Your faith has healed you."
|And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
|When the Pharisees demanded that he tell them when the kingdom of God would come, he answered, "The kingdom of God is not coming with signs that will be easy to see.
|Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
|Nor will people say, 'Here it is! Or there it is! Look amongst yourselves for the kingdom of God."
|And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
|Then he said to his students, "The days are coming, when you will all desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.
|And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
|And people will tell you, 'Here he is! Or there he is!' Don't go after them; don't follow them.
|For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
|For just as the lightning flashes across the entire sky, that is how the Son of man will be in his day.
|But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
|First, though, he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
|And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
|As it was back in Noah's days, that's how it will be in the days of the Son of man.
|They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
|They ate and drank, they married and were given in marriage--right up to the time they went into the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed everyone.
|Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
|Just as it had been in the time of Lot: they ate, they drank, bought and sold, farmed and built;
|But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
|But on the same day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
|Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
|So it will be when the Son of man is revealed.
|In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
|On that day, he who is on his porch should not go back into his house to get his stuff, and he who is in the fields should not go back to his house.
|Remember Lot's wife.
|Remember what happened to Lot's wife.
|Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
|Those who seek to save their own lives shall lose them, and those who lose their lives shall save them.
|I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
|I tell you, in that night there may be two men in one room; one shall be taken forever, and the other shall be left behind.
|Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
|Two women will be grinding grain together; one shall be taken, and the other left behind.
|Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
|Two men will be working in the fields; one shall be taken, and the other left behind."
|And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
|They said to him, "Where to, Lord?" And he said, "Wherever the body is, there will be the eagles gathered together."
Chapter 18
|King James Version
|Proposed Conservative Translation
|And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
|And to teach them that man ought to pray and not faint, he told them this parable:
|Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
|"In a city, there was a judge who did not respect God or men,
|And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
|and a widow, and she came to the judge saying, 'Give me revenge upon my adversary.'
|And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
|For some time he did nothing, but after a while he said to himself, 'Though I respect neither God nor men,
|Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
|this woman keeps pestering me, and so I will give her her revenge, so that she does not annoy me with her petitions.'"
|And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
|Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge has said.
|And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
|Won't God avenge his chosen, who cry day and night to him, as he stands with them?
|I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
|I tell you, he will avenge them quickly. But when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on the Earth?"
|And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
|And he spoke this parable to those who deceived themselves to be righteous
and hated their fellow man.
|Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
|Two men visited the temple to pray to God; one was a false teacher, the other a tax collector.
|The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
|The false teacher stood and prayed in reference to himself, "God, I thank you that I am not a sinner".
|I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
|"I go without food twice a week and I give a portion of my wealth to you".
|And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
|The tax collector who was a ways away, respectful before the Lord, beat on his chest and asked God for mercy as he was a sinner.
|I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
|I tell you that the tax collector went home righteous as he humbled himself before the Lord; whereas the false teacher, thinking he knows everything did not. For the humble will be praised and the arrogant shall be cut down to size.
|And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
|And infants were brought to Jesus in the hopes that he would touch them, but his disciples rebuked those that brought them when they saw it.
|But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
|But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the children come, and do not prevent them from doing so because the kingdom of God belongs to them".
|Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
|"I say to you that whoever does not believe as wholeheartedly as a child will not enter the kingdom of God".
|And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
|A powerful man then asked Jesus how he can attain eternal life.
|And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
|Jesus responded, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except one, God the Father".
|Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
|"You know the commandments: Honor your father and mother. Do not kill, steal, lie, or be unfaithful to your spouse".
|And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
|The powerful man responded that he had done all these things ever since he was a young boy.
|Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
|When Jesus heard this he said to him, "You lack one thing, you need to rid yourself of the desire for earthly treasure to the point that if you were destitute you would still rejoice in the Lord. For doing so will give you the greatest treasure of all, the glory of heaven. Do this and follow my teachings."
|And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
|When the powerful man heard this he was saddened because he was materialistic and had a lot of wealth.
|And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
|And when Jesus saw that the man was sad he asked of him, "How shall those who value earthly wealth to the exclusion of all else enter into heaven"?
|For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
|"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a materialistic man to enter the kingdom of God".
|"materialistic and earthly" ... "materialistic" is superb, but is the "and earthly" justified?
|And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
|Those that were there wondered who could be saved then?
|And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
|And Jesus responded that things which are impossible with man are easily possible with God.
|Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
|Peter said, "We have given up everything, and followed you."
|And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
|Jesus said to them, "The truth is, every man who has left his house, or his parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God
|Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
|shall receive many times what he left, both in this world and in the the world to come, where he will receive eternal life."
|Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
|Then he took the twelve, saying, "We shall go to Jerusalem, to fulfill all the prophecies which concern the Son of man.
|For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
|He shall be delivered to Gentiles, mocked, beaten, and spit on.
|And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
|They will whip him, and murder him, and on the third day he shall rise again."
|And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
|And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
|As he entered Jericho, a blind man sat by the side of the road, panhandling.
|And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
|The blind mean heard the crowds pass by, and asked those around him what was happening.
|And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
|They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
|And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
|He cried out, "Jesus, descendant of David, have mercy on me!"
|And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
|And the crowds chastised him, telling him to be quiet, but he cried even louder, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
|And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
|Jesus stood, and had the man brought to him, and when he was near, Jesus asked of him,
|Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
|"What do you want of me?" And he said, "Lord, give me sight."
|And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

|And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
|There was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax collector, and he was rich.
|And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
|He wanted to see Jesus, but couldn't see over the crowd since he was so short.
|And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
|So he ran ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus as He passed that way.
|And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
|When Jesus passed by, He looked up and saw him, and said, "Zacchaeus, get down from there, quickly! I am going to stay at your place tonight."
|And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
|So he came down quickly and was glad to have Jesus as his guest.
|And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
|When the crowd say this, they gossiped amongst themselves, saying, "Jesus is now the guest of a sinner."
|And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
|Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Lord, I give half of everything I make to charity, and if I ever accidentally take from somebody more than they owe, I give back four times the excess."
|And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
|Jesus said to him, "Salvation comes to your house today, for you are also a son of Abraham.
|For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
|The Son of man has come to find and save what has been lost."
|And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
|As they heard this, Jesus added a parable, for he was close to Jerusalem and the crowds thought this meant the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
|He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
|So he said, "A nobleman went into a far-away country to receive a kingdom for himself, and then return home.
|And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
|So he called his ten servants, and gave them ten coins, and said, "Invest this money for me until I return."
|But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
|But his citizens hated him, and sent a message to him saying, 'We will not have this man reign over us.'
|And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
|When he had returned, having received the distant kingdom, he called his servants to him, and asked how their investments had performed.
|Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
|The first said, 'Lord, your coin has grown to ten coins.'
|And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
|And he said to him, 'You are a good servant, and because you have done as you were told, you have authority over ten cities.'
|And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
|The second servant came, and said, 'Lord, your coin has grown to five coins.'
|And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
|So he said to him, 'You have authority over five cities.'
|And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
|And another came, saying, 'Lord, here is your coin, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
|For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
|Because I am afraid of you, since you are an austere man; you take what is not yours, and reap what you did not sow.'
|And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
|And he said to me, 'I will judge you with your own words, wicked servant. You knew I was an austere man, taking what is not mine and reaping what I did not sow.
|Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
|Why, then, did you not put my money into the bank, so that when I returned I might have gained interest on it?'
|And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
|So he said to those who were around, 'Take that coin from him, and give it to the servant who made ten coins.'
|(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
|For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
|I say to you, to those who have, things shall be given, and from those who do not have, even what little they have shall be taken away.
|But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
|And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
|And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
|When he had come close to Bethpage and Bethany, by the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples ahead,
|Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
|saying, "Go into the village over there, and you'll find a colt tied on whom no man has ever sat. Untie him and bring him here.
|And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
|If any man asks you, 'Why did you untie him?' you tell them, 'The Lord has need of him.'"
|And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
|So they went ahead, and found exactly what He had described.
|And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
|So they untied the colt, and the owners said, "Why are you untying the colt?"
|And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
|and they said, "The Lord needs him."
|And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
|So they brought him to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt, so Jesus could sit on him.
|And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
|As he walked, they spread clothes before him.
|And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

|Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
|They said, "Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
|And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
|Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said, "Rabbi, rebuke your disciples!"
|How were we doing "Pharisees" again?
|And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
|But he answered them, "If these people were silent, the stones themselves would immediately cry out."
|And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
|Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
|For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
|And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
|And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

|And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
|And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
|And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
|The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
|And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
|But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
|And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
|And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
|Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
|And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
|And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
|And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
|Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
|But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
|So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
|He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
|And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
|Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
|And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
|And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
|And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
|Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
|But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
|Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
|And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
|And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
|Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
|Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
|There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
|And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
|And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
|Last of all the woman died also.
|Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
|And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
|But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
|Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
|Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
|For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
|Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
|And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
|And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
|And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
|Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
|David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
|Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
|Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
|Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.

|And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
|And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
|And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
|For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
|And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
|As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
|And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
|And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
|But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
|Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
|And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
|But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
|And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
|Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
|For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

|But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
|In your patience possess ye your souls.
|And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
|Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
|For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
|But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
|And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
|And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
|Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
|And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
|And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
|And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
|When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

|Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
|And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
|Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
|And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
|And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.

|And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
|And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
|And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
|And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

|Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
|But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
|And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
|And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
|And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
|And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
|But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
|For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

|And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
|Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

|Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
|And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
|When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
|And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
|And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
|Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
|And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
|And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

|And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
|And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
|And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
|And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
|And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
|And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
|But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
|For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
|Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
|For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
|And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
|And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
|Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
|They divided his clothes, and gambled for them.
|The statement attributed to Jesus in this verse is likely not authentic.[1][2] Proponents of the authenticity of these words claim they are necessary to fulfill a prophecy of Isaiah 53:12.
|And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
|And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
|And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
|And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
|And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
|But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
|And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
|And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
|And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
|And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
|And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
|And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
|Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
|And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
|And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
|And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counseller; and he was a good man, and a just:
|(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
|This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
|And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
|And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
|And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
|And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Chapter 24
|King James Version
|Proposed Conservative Translation
|Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
|And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
|And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
|And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
|And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
|He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
|Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
|And they remembered his words,
|And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
|It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
|And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
|Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
|And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
|And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
|And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
|But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
|And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
|And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass therein these days?
|And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
|And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
|But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
|Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
|And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
|And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
|Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
|Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
|And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
|And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
|But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
|And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
|And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
|And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
|And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
|Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
|And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
|And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
|But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
|And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
|Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
|And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
|And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
|And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
|And he took it, and did eat before them.
|And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
|Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
|And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
|And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
|And ye are witnesses of these things.
|And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
|And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
|And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
|And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
|And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
