8:6	But now he has been granted a better ministry, so much so that he is also the Mediator of a better testament, which has been confirmed by better promises.
8:7	For if the former one had been entirely without fault, then a place certainly would not have been sought for a subsequent one.
8:8	For, finding fault with them, he says: “Behold, the days shall arrive, says the Lord, when I will consummate a New Testament over the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
8:9	not according to the testament which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt. For they did not remain in my testament, and so I disregarded them, says the Lord.
8:10	For this is the testament which I will set before the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord. I will instill my laws in their minds, and I will inscribe my laws on their hearts. And so, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
8:11	And they will not teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all shall know me, from the least, even to the greatest of them.
8:12	For I will forgive their iniquities, and I will no longer remember their sins.”
8:13	Now in saying something new, he has made the former old. But that which decays and grows old is close to passing away.

3:13	And ascending onto a mountain, he called to himself those whom he willed, and they came to him.
3:14	And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
3:15	And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
3:16	and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
3:17	and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name ‘Boanerges,’ that is, ‘Sons of Thunder;’
3:18	and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
3:19	and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
