But the messenger said unto him - Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, - and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;

And 1o! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:

And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; - and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;

And Mary said - Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger departed from her.

and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said - Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;

For lo! as the sound of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe in my womb, leapt in exultation.

And they said unto her - There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!

Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration - in peace;

Because mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

A light for the unveiling of nations, and the glory of thy people Israel.

And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.

And, when they behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him - Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.

And, answering, Jesus said to him - It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.

And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.

And Jesus, answering, said to him - It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.

And Jesus rebuked it, saying - Hold thy peace! and go forth from him. And the demon, throwing him into the midst, went forth from him, doing him no hurt.

And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets.

And, he, charged him to tell, no one, - but, departing, Show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.

And, beholding their faith, he said - O man! thy sins are forgiven thee.

Which is easier, To say - Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say - Arise and be walking?

But, that ye may know that, the Son of Man, hath, authority, upon the earth to forgive sins - he said to the paralyzed man - To thee, I say, Arise, and, taking up thy couch, be going thy way unto thy house.

And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him - Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.

To him who is smiting thee upon the one cheek, be offering, the other also; and, from him who is taking away thy mantle, thy tunic also, do not forbid:

To every one asking thee, give, and, from him that taketh away thy possessions, ask them not back.

But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?

How canst thou say to thy brother - Brother! let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, - thyself, the beam in thine own eye, not beholding? Hypocrite! cast out, first, the beam out of thine own eye, and, then, shalt thou see clearly, to cast out, the mote that is in the eye of thy brother.

This, is he concerning whom it is written - Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said - Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, - but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off the tears .

And he said unto her - Thy sins have been forgiven.

But he said unto the woman - Thy faith, hath saved thee, - Go thy way into peace.

And it was reported to him - Thy mother and thy brethren, are standing outside, desiring, to see, thee.

Be returning unto thy house, and telling forth what great things, God, for thee, hath done. And he departed, through all the city, proclaiming what great things, Jesus, had done for him.

And, he, said to her - Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.

While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.

And I begged of thy disciples, that they would cast it out, and they could not.

And, making answer, Jesus said - O faithless and perverted generation! how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring, hither, thy son.

But John, answering, said - Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, - and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

And the seventy -tworeturned, with joy, saying - Lord! even the demons, submit themselves unto us, in thy name!

And, he, answering, said - Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?

And, he, said - He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him - Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.

And he said unto them - Whensoever ye are praying, say - Father! Hallowed be thy name, Come may thy kingdom,

The lamp of thy body, is thine eye: Whensoever, thine eye, may be, single, even the whole of thy body, is, lighted up; but, whensoever it may be, useless, even thy body, is darkened.

If, therefore, thy whole body, is lighted up, not having any part darkened, the whole, shall be lighted up, as whensoever, the lamp, with its radiance, may be giving thee light.

and will say to my soul - Soul! thou hast many good things lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,be making merry!

But God said unto him - Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her - Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, -

Then, will ye begin to say - We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, - Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, - lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee.

No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, - Make me as one of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came unto his own father.

And the son said unto him - Father! I have sinned against heaven, and before thee: No longer, am I worthy to be called a son of thine, - make me as one of thy hired servants.

And, he, said unto him, - Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.

But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother - was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.

And, accosting him, he said unto him - What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.

But Abraham said - Child! remember - That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.

Be taking heed to yourselves, - If thy brother sin, rebuke him, and, if he repent, forgive him;

And he said unto him - Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.

The commandments, thou knowest: - Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, - Honour thy father and mother,

And, Jesus, said unto him - Recover sight! Thy faith, hath saved thee.

And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him - Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.

And the first came near, saying - Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.

And the second came, saying - Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.

And, the other, came, saying - Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;

He saith to him - Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, - taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;

And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him - Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.

And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.

Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

And he went on to say - Jesus! remember me, whensoever thou shalt come into thy kingdom.

And, calling out with a loud voice, Jesus said - Father! into thy hands, I commend my spirit. And, this, saying, he ceased to breathe.
