And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.

And after John's messengers departed, he began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those in elegant clothing, and existing in luxury, are in kingly places. But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and much more than a prophet. read more.
This is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee. For I say to you, among men born of women there is not one prophet greater than John the immerser, yet the smaller in the kingdom of God is greater than he. And all the people having heard, and the tax collectors who were immersed the immersion of John, justified God. But the Pharisees and the lawyers who were not immersed by him, rejected the purpose of God for themselves. To what, then will I compare the men of this generation, and to what are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace, and calling to each other, and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance. We mourned to you, and ye did not weep. For John the immerser has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon.


Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples, he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another? And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see: read more.
the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good-news. And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.

And the disciples of John informed him about all these things. And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent them to Jesus, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man? And when they came to him, they said, John the immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man? read more.
And in the same hour he healed many from diseases and plagues and evil spirits. And he granted sight to many blind men. And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor are preached good-new And blessed is he, whoever will not be offended by me.


And one of his disciples whom Jesus loved was sitting at Jesus' bosom. Simon Peter therefore gestured to this man to inquire whoever he may be about whom he speaks. And that man, having leaned thus toward Jesus' breast, says to him, Lord, who is he? read more.
Jesus replies, He is that man to whom I, having dipped the morsel, will give. And when he dipped the morsel, he gives it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

But Peter, having turned around, sees the disciple whom Jesus loves, following, who also leaned near his chest at the supper, and said, Lord, who is the man betraying thee?


and likewise also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not, from henceforth thou will be catching men.

After these things Jesus manifested himself again to his disciples at the sea of Tiberias. And he revealed himself this way. There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other men of his disciples. Simon Peter says to them, I am going to harvest fish. They say to him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and straightaway entered into the boat. And in that night they caught nothing. read more.
But having now become morning, Jesus stood on the shore. However the disciples had not seen that it was Jesus. Therefore Jesus says to them, Children, have ye anything eatable? They answered him, No. And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. Therefore they cast, and they were no longer able to draw it for the magnitude of fishes. That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved says to Peter, It is the Lord. So when Simon Peter heard that it is the Lord, he tied the coat around himself (for he was undressed), and threw himself into the sea.

And there will be joy and exultation for thee, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he should, no, not drink wine and strong drink. And he will be filled of Holy Spirit, even from his mother's belly. And he will turn back many of the sons of Israel to Lord their God. And he will go ahead, in front of him, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn back the hearts of fathers toward children, and the disobedient in a mentality of the righteous, to make ready for Lord a people prepared. And Zacharias said to the agent, How will I know this? For I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her days. And having answered, the agent said to him, I am Gabriel who stand in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to thee, and to announce these good news to thee. And behold, thou will be mute, and not able to speak until that day these things will come to pass, because thou did not believed my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.

Now the time for Elizabeth was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she brought forth a son.

And all these sayings were talked about in the entire hill country of Judea.


And Simon Peter followed Jesus, also the other disciple. But that disciple was known to the high priest, and he went in with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they came down, prayed for them, so that they might receive Holy Spirit, for it was not yet fallen upon any of them.

Now at the same time Peter and John were going up into the temple, at the hour of prayer, the ninth. And a certain man, being lame from his mother's belly, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask charity from those who entered into the temple, who, having seen Peter and John intending to go into the temple, asked charity. read more.
And Peter, having gazed intently at him, with John, said, Look at us. And he gave attention to them expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, No silver and gold exists to me, but what I have, this I give thee. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, rise up and walk. And after taking him by the right hand, he lifted him up. And immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened. And leaping up, he stood and walked. And he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and they recognized him, that this was the man who sat for charity at the Beautiful Gate of the temple.

Then Peter being filled with Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we are examined today about a good deed, of a feeble man, by what this man has been healed, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by this, this man stands here before you healthy. This is the stone that was rejected by you who build, which became into the head of the corner. And salvation is not in any other man, for there is no other name under the heaven, that has been given among men, by which we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate and uneducated men, they marveled. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus. And seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict. But after commanding them to go outside of the council, they conferred among each other, saying, What will we do to these men? For that indeed a notable sign has happened by them, is apparent to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. But that it may not spread on further among the people, let us threaten them with threats to speak no longer in this name, to not one man. And having called them, they commanded them entirely, not to utter nor to teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John having replied to them, they said, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than God, judge ye.
