night

⁴For I will behold your heavens, the works of your fingers: the moon and the stars, which you have founded.

¹²The night has passed, and the day draws near. Therefore, let us cast aside the works of darkness, and be clothed with the armor of light.

³⁶While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.

⁸Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.

¹In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. ²But the earth was empty and unoccupied, and darknesses were over the face of the abyss; and so the Spirit of God was brought over the waters. ³And God said, “Let there be light.” And light became. ⁴And God saw the light, that it was good; and so he divided the light from the darknesses. ⁵And he called the light, ‘Day,’ and the darknesses, ‘Night.’ And it became evening and morning, one day. ⁶God also said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters.”

⁸The Maker of Arcturus and Orion, who turns darkness into daybreak and who changes day into night; who calls forth the waters of the sea and who pours them out over the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

⁵For all of you are sons of light and sons of daytime; we are not of nighttime, nor of darkness.

⁷And also Sodom and Gomorrah, and the adjoining cities, in similar ways, having given themselves over to fornication and to the pursuing of other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

²The heavens describe the glory of God, and the firmament announces the work of his hands.

⁴I must work the works of him who sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no one is able to work.

¹⁸And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,

³⁶For they can no longer die. For they are equal to the Angels, and they are children of God, since they are children of the resurrection.

¹³You have failed in the multitude of your plans! Let the seers stand and save you, those who were contemplating the stars, and figuring the months, so that from these they might announce to you the things to come.

¹⁰But if he walks in the nighttime, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

²He went to Jesus at night, and he said to him: “Rabbi, we know that you have arrived as a teacher from God. For no one would be able to accomplish these signs, which you accomplish, unless God were with him.”
