And having passed from thence, Jesus came to the sea of Galilee; and having gone up into a mountain, he sat there.

415

But I say to you, To Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you.

416

And having come into the house, the blind came to him: and Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I can do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

417

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What seems to thee, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take taxes or census? from their sons, or from strangers?

418

And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no one; but retire, show thyself to the priest, and bring near the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

420

A voice was heard in Rama, wailing, and weeping, and much lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, for they are not.

422

And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares?

424

Then was completed that spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

425

Then his fellow-servant having fallen at his feet besought him, saying, Be slow to anger towards me, and I will give back all to thee.

426

And many crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan.

427

And having come to the second, he said likewise. And he, having answered, said, I, Lord: and he departed not.

428

And his fellow-servants having seen the thing done, were greatly grieved, and having come, made known to their lord all things done.

429

And Jesus says to him, I, having come, will cure him.

431

And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also.

432

And, behold, two blind sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus passes by, cried out, saying, Pity us, O Lord, son of David.

433

And having encouraged the crowds to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves, and two fishes, and having looked up to heaven, he praised; and having broken, gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

434

For John came to you in the way of justice, and ye believed him not: and the publicans and harlots believed him; and ye, seeing, repented not afterwards, to believe him.

435

And they having instantly let go the ship and their father,. followed him.

436

And having heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea, instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go there; and having received intimation of the divine will in a dream, he turned back into the parts of Galilee.

437

And, behold, a great shaking was in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and be slept.

439

But know this, that if the master of the house had known what watch the thief comes, he had watched, and would not have suffered his house to be undermined.

440

And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus asked them,

443

And after the transferring of Babylon Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;

444

When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers?

446

Saying, What seems to you about Christ? Whose son is he They say to him, David's.

447

And the ship was already in the midst of the sea, overcharged by waves: for the wind was contrary.

449

And saying, He loosing the temple, and building in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

450

And this report went forth into that whole land.

452

But that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to let go sins, (then he says to the paralytic), Having risen, take up thy bed and retire to thy house.

453

And having risen, he took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

455

And the evil spirits besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.

457

And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost.

458

And sitting down, they observed him there.

459

And all the crowds were affected, and said, Is not this the son of David?

460

For to every one having shall be given, and he shall be in abundance: and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

461

Or how can any one come into the house of the strong, and plunder his goods, except be first bind the strong? and then he will plunder his house.

462

The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, casts forth good things: and the evil man, out of the evil treasure, casts forth evil things.

463

I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

464

But if we say, Of men; we fear the crowd; for all hold John as a prophet.

465

But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays to come;

466

Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they seeking the soul of the young child have died.

467

And he said to them, Which of you shall be the man who shall have one sheep, and if this should fall into a pit in the sabbaths, will he not take hold of it, and raise it up?

469

And quickly Jesus, having stretched out the hand, laid hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, for what didst thou doubt?

470

But I say to you, That he here is greater than the temple.

471

How much then does a man surpass a sheep? So that it is lawful to do well in the sabbaths.

472

And she said, Yes, Lord; for the little dogs also eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their lord.

473

And after I be raised, I will lead before you into Galilee.

474

And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts.

475

Others he saved; himself he cannot save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him:

476

But I say to you, That to the land of Sodom it shall be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you.

477

And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed.

478

And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance.

479

And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him.

480

Peter says to him, Though it should be necessary for me to die with thee, I will not deny thee: likewise also said all the disciples.

481

And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. And he said to them, Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these.

483

And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;

484

Then the servant, having fallen, worshipped him, saying, Lord, be slow to anger towards me, and I will give back all to thee.

485

And his disciples say to him, Whence to us, in a lonely place, so many loaves, to satisfy such a crowd I

487

And his disciples having come near, took away the body, and interred it; and having come, they announced to Jesus.

488

And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son.

492

And Peter having answered, said to him, And if all men shall be scandalized in thee, I will never be scandalized.

493

And he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they with him;

494

And he encouraged the crowd to recline upon the earth.

495

For the Lord of the sabbath is also the Son of man.

496

Oughtest thou not also to pity thy fellow-servant, as I also pitied thee

498

And having passed from thence, he went into their assembly;

500

And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee?

501

And if ye knew what it is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the innocent.

503

And the Pharisees, seeing, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not lawful to do in the sabbath.

505

And whoever would be first among you, let him be your servant:

506

And to him, having come into the temple to him teaching, came the chief priests and elders of the people, saying, By what authority doest thou these? and who gave thee this authority?

507

Wherefore ye bear testimony to yourselves, that ye are the sons of those having slain the prophets.

508

How he went into the house of God, and ate the loaves of setting up, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor those with him, but for the priests alone?

509

All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them.

510

Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, worshipping, and asking something of him.

511

And John having heard in prison the works of Christ, having sent two of his disciples,

512

In that day the Sadducees came to him, they saying there is to be no rising up: and they asked him,

513

Then one of the twelve having gone forth, he being called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests,

514

Or have ye not read in the law, that in the sabbaths, the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are innocent?

516

And Jesus having stood, called them, and said, What will ye I shall do to you?

517

Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes.

518

And they coming near, blasphemed him, shaking their heads,

519

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus threatened them, saying, See, let none know.

520

For this is he for whom it was Written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

521

Who then is the faithful and discerning servant, which his lord set over his attendance, to give them food in due season

522

And his disciples were greatly struck with amazement, saying, Who then can be saved?

523

And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised. And they were greatly grieved.

524

So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world.

525

And he yet speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and brethren stood without, seeking to speak to him.

526

And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, he, the sower, went forth to sow.

527

And having risen, he went away into his house.

528

And having entered into a ship, he passed over and came into his own city.

532

And he, having answered, said, I will not; but afterward, having felt regret, he departed.

533

Behold, your house is left to you desolate.

534

And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

536

And the disciples having come near, said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables?

537

Wherefore from their fruits shall ye know them.

538

And if he refuse hearing them, speak to the church: and if he refuse hearing the church, let him be to thee as of the nations and a publican.

539

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee.

540

And he having answered, said to them, An evil generation and an adulteress seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

541

And they having come to the crowd, there came to him a man, supplicating on his knees to him, and saying,

542

And as they were going to announce to his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Rejoice ye. And they having come, held his feet firmly, and worshipped him.

544

For by thy words shalt thou be justified, and by thy words shalt thou be condemned.

549

And Jesus, having come into Peter's house, saw his mother-in-law having been laid up, and affected with fever.

550

Sufficient to the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those pertaining to his household?

551

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! for ye go about sea and dry land to make one proselyte, and when he should become, ye make him the son of hell, twofold more than you.

552

And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children.

553

And he yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd, with swords, and sticks, from the chief priests, and the more ancient of the people.

555

And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given.

556

And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and be not removed, ye shall do not only that of the fig tree, but also to this mountain, if ye should say, Be thou lifted up, and cast into the sea, it shall be.

557

Verily I say to you, in the begotten of women has there not risen a greater than John the Immerser; but the less in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.

558

And the tombs were opened: and many bodies of the holy ones, having been set to sleep, were raised,

560

And when the unclean spirit has gone out from a man, he passes through sterile places, seeking rest, and finds not.

561

And coming, they found a man, a Cyrenian, Simon by name; they compelled him that he should lift up his cross.

562

And these going forth, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye forth into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

563

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James, he of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, he surnamed Thaddeus;

564

And having taken the cup, and given thanks, he gave to them, saying, Drink of it all ye.

566

And having been morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to kill him:

567

And having come, he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be completed spoken by the prophets, That he shall be called a Nazarite.

568

And having crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lot: that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up: They divided among them my garments, and upon my clothing they cast lot.

569

And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;

570

Another parable spake he to them; The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, till the whole was leavened.

572

And Jesus having heard, said to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but they having evils.

573

And all their works do they, to be seen by men: and make broad their preservatives, and enlarge the border of their garments

574

Then began he to blame the cities in which were his greatest powers, because they repented not.

577

For whoever should wish to save his life shall lose it: and whoever shall lose his soul for my sake shall find it.

578

And he having answered, said to them, It being evening, ye say, Calm weather: for the heaven is fiery red.

579

And again I say to you, It is of easier labor for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich one to come into the kingdom of God.

582

And he, having answered, said, I was not sent except to the sheep having been lost, of the house of Israel.

583

The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity;

585

Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

586

And was there till the death of Herod: that it might be completed having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

588

Verily I say to you, Some are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

589

And he took to himself his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and be called his name Jesus.

590

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup, and the side dish of sweet-meats, and within they are full of pillage and bad mixture.

591

And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, being called Christ, the anointed.

592

Then says Jesus to them, All ye shall be scandalized in me this night; for it has been written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered up and down.

593

And Jesus passing from thence, two blind ones followed him, crying out and saying, Commiserate us, O son of David.

594

For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits.

595

For this is he spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, A voice of him crying in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

596

He said to him, Art thou he coming, or should we look for another?

598

For I say to you, Ye should not see me from henceforth, till ye should say, Praised be he coming in the name of the Lord.

599

And it was when Jesus finished these parables, he removed thence.

601

And his lord having become angry, delivered him to the torturers even till he should give back all being owed to him.

603

Whose winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the store; but he will burn down the chaff in inextinguishable fire.

605

And Jesus having answered said to him, Permit now; for so it is suitable for us to complete all justice: then he permitted him.

612

Therefore the kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, the king, who wished to lift up the word together with his servants.

613

But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

614

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be remitted to him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be let go to him, neither in this time, nor that about to be.

619

Then the soldiers of the leader, having taken Jesus to the Pretorium, gathered together the whole band against him.

621

And having taken Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved, and to be dejected.

622

And when they drive you out in this city, flee ye to another; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come.

623

Then was completed that having been spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of him prized, whom they from the sons of Israel prized;

625

And happy is he who shall not give cause of offence in me.

626

And Jesus knowing their reflections, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

628

And, behold, there was a great shaking; for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come near, rolled away the stone from the door, and sat above it.

629

And in his sowing some truly fell by the way, and the flying things came and swallowed them down.

631

And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous,

632

Or what man is of you, which, if his son ask bread, he will not give him a stone?

633

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

634

And Jesus having answered said to them, Having gone, announce to John what ye hear and see:

637

And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men.

639

And having called the crowd, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand.

642

And having seen one fig tree by the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only; and he says to it, Let no more fruit be from thee forever. And instantly the fig tree was dried up.

643

And they having come to Capernaum, they taking double drachmas came to Peter and said, Does not your teacher pay double drachmas?

644

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we had not been their partakers in the blood of the prophets,

645

And in the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate

646

And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked.

647

Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

648

And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Rath; and Obed begat Jesse;

649

And Peter sat without in the court-yard, and one young girl came to him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

650

For they bind loads heavy and difficult to carry, and put upon men's shoulders; and with their fingers will they not move them.

653

But it shall not be so among you; but whoever should wish to be great among you, let him be your attendant;

654

And Jesus stood before the leader: and the leader asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.

655

And, behold, a leper, having come, worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.

656

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

657

So that the crowds wondered, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.

658

And whoever should give to drink one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

659

And many women were there, beholding from far off, who followed Jesus out of Galilee, serving him:

660

Blind guides, straining a gnat, and swallowing down a camel.

663

In that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus,

664

And behold, a woman discharging blood twelve years, having come near behind, touched the hem of his garment:

665

And in the morn, having returned into the city, he hungered.

671

To what shall I liken this generation I it is like little boys sitting in market-places, and calling to their companions,

672

Wherefore do thy disciples pass by the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

674

And he, having answered, said to them, Wherefore do ye also pass by the command of God by your tradition

675

Therefore all whatever they say to you to keep, keep and do; and according to their works do not, for they say and do not.

677

And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials.

678

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a large sweep-net, cast into the sea, and having gathered of every kind:

679

And it was when Jesus finished ordering his twelve disciples, he went away from thence to teach and proclaim in all their cities.

680

And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,

681

And the messenger, having answered, said to the women, Be ye not afraid; for I know that ye seek Jesus, having been crucified.

682

And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them.

683

And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together.

684

And others fell upon rocky places where it had not much earth, and quickly it sprang forth, for it had no depth of earth.

686

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for pretence, praying at great lengths; for this shall ye receive more distingnished judgment.

687

And in the morning, Today, wintry weather: for heaven, being sad, is fiery red. Hypocrites, truly ye know to decide the face of heaven, but the signs of the times ye cannot.

689

Said, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? and they placed to him thirty silver coins.

691

Woe to the world for offences I for there is necessity for offences to come; but woe to that man by whom the offence comes!

692

And Jesus having called his disciples, said, I feel compassion for the crowd, for already they remain with me three days, and they have nothing they could eat: and I will not leave them fasting, lest they be relaxed in the way.

693

He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, thus: Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;

695

And the crowds leading before, and following, cried, saying, Osanna to the son of David: he coming in the name of the Lord being praised; Osanna in the highest ones.

696

Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls:

697

And they having gone, behold they brought to him a man dumb, possessed with an evil spirit.

698

For as they were in the days of the inundation, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noe came into the ark,

701

And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves.

702

But the things going forth out of the mouth come from the heart, and these pollute the man.

704

And this John had his garment from camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

705

And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader.

706

And the names of the twelve sent are these: first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, he of Zebedee and John his brother;

707

And they going out from Jericho, a great crowd followed him.

708

And Jesus having answered, said to them, Elias truly comes first and will re-establish all things.

709

And they said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yes; have ye never read, That out of the mouths of young children and sucklings thou hast adjusted praise?

711

And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and he said to them,

713

And having sung, they went forth to the mount of Olives.

717

And it was when Jesus finished all the words, he said to his disciples

718

Truly I say to you, All these shall come upon this generation.

719

For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

721

And says to him, If thou art the Son of God cast thyself down; for it has been written, That to his messengers he will command concerning thee; and in the hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou strike thy foot against a stone.

723

And Jesus seeing many crowds about him, encouraged to go away beyond.

725

And one of them, skilled in the law, asked, tempting him, and saying,

726

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he also having delivered him up.

727

And, behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those boundaries, cried out to him, saying, Pity me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is badly possessed with an evil spirit.

728

He trusted upon God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him: for he said, That I am the Son of God.

730

And he says to them, It was written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; and ye have made it a den of robbers.

732

Woe to you blind guides, saying, Whoever should swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever should swear by the gold of the temple, he is indebted!

733

For Herod, having seized John, bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias, his brother Philip's wife:

736

And Jesus said to them, See ye not all these? truly I say to you, Stone upon stone shall not be left here, which shall not be loosened.

737

So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar.

738

And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.

739

And it was when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were struck with amazement at his teaching:

741

And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept.

742

But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more eminent than a prophet.

743

And he sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Nothing to thee and that just one: for I have suffered this day many things in a dream, on his account.

744

The queen of the South shall be raised up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the end of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon here.

745

Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine eye, and thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote from thy brother's eye.

746

Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations; and from David to the transferring of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the transferring of Babylon to Christ, fourteen generations.

748

And they having come quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, ran to announce to his disciples.

749

And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting.

750

And I say to you, that I drink not from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, even till that day when I drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father.

751

What does it seem to you? if there be to any man a hundred sheep, and one of them have been led astray, does he not, having left the ninety-nine upon the mountains, having gone, seek the one led astray?

752

And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means art thou least among the leaders of Judah for out of thee shall come forth the leader, who shall feed my people.

754

And in the accusing him by the chief priests and the more ancient, he answered nothing.

755

Therefore fear them not; for nothing has been covered, which shall not be revealed; and concealed, that shall not be known.

756

Go ye into the town opposite to us, and quickly shall ye find an ass bound, and a colt with her; having loosed, bring to me.

757

For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

758

Then let them in Judea flee to the mountain;

759

And having unclothed him, they put round him a scarlet, loose, warm cloak.

761

And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man:

762

And having come into his native land, he taught them in their assembly, so that they were struck with amazement, and said, Whence to him this wisdom, and powers?

763

And many crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them:

766

For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them.

767

And Jesus, having called a young child, set it in the midst of them,

768

And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what comest thou? Then having come near, they put hands upon Jesus, and held him firmly.

771

And knew not till the inundation came, and took them all away; so also shall be the arrival of the Son of man.

772

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking upon the sea.

775

And the sun having risen, it was parched up; and for the not having a root, it was dried up.

776

And now also the axe lies at the root of the trees; therefore every one not making good fruit is cut off and cast into fire.

777

And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her of Urias

778

Then comes he to his disciples, and says to them, Sleep for the remaining time, and take rest: behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man is delivered into the hands of the sinful.

779

And if thy hand or thy foot give thee cause of offence, cut them off, and cast from thee: it is good for thee to come into life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.

780

And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves.

782

And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old.

783

Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

785

And, behold, Moses and Elias were seen to them, conversing with him.

786

But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God.

787

And he said to them, All have not room for this word, but to whom it is given.

790

Then says Jesus to them, Be ye not afraid: retire, and announce to my brethren that they should go away into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

791

Then were gathered together the chief priests, and scribes, and the more ancient of the people, into the court-yard of the chief priest, called Caliaphas,

793

Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes.

794

And if thine eye give thee cause of offence, take it out, and east from thee: it is good for thee, one-eyed, to enter into life, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire.

795

And having answered, he said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.

796

And they going, behold certain of the watch having come to the city, announced to the chief priests all having been done.

797

And in the festival the leader was accustomed to loose one imprisoned to the crowd, which they desired.

798

Truly the Son of man retires as has been written concerning him; and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it was good for him if that man had not been born.

801

They say to him, Why then did Moses charge to give a writing of divorce, and loose her?

802

And they said, Some, truly, John the Baptist: and others, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

803

As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time.

804

And Jesus having heard, admired, and said to those following; Verily I say to you, not in Israel have I found such faith.

805

And many crowds were assembled together to him; therefore having entered into the ship, he sat down, and all the crowd stood upon the sea shore.

808

Therefore hear ye the parable of him sowing.

810

But what went ye out to see? A man clad in soft garments? but they having soft things are in king's houses.

812

And the centurion, and they with him, observing Jesus, having seen the shaking, and the things having been, were greatly afraid, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

813

Be aroused, let us lead forth; behold, he delivering me up, has drawn near.

814

And I say to you, That Elias has already come, and they knew him not, but did by him whatever they would. So also the Son of man is about to suffer by them.

815

Not that coming into the mouth pollutes the man; but that going forth out of the mouth, this pollutes the man.

816

Again of a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, My Father if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, let thy will be.

820

And Jesus having turned round, and seeing her, said, Take courage, daughter; thy faith has saved thee. And the woman was saved from that hour.

824

Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

826

So shall it be in the end of time; the messengers shall come forth, and separate the evil from the midst of the just,

829

And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition.

830

And to him wishing to be judged with thee, and to take thy coat, let go to him also thy garment.

831

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you.

832

And thou, Capernaum, lifted up even to heaven, thou shalt he brought down to hades: for if in the people of Sodom had been the powers being in thee, they had remained till this day.

833

And she, having come, worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

834

And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: retire, render secure as ye know.

835

And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

837

The Ninevite men shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the proclamation of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas here.

838

And to one he truly gave five talents, and to one, two, and to one, one; to each according to his own power; and he quickly went abroad.

839

And whoever shall compel thee to carry dispatches one mile, go forward with him two.

842

And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death;

844

And, behold, they cried out., saying, What to us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? hast thou come here to torture us before the time

845

Be kindly disposed to thy opponent quickly, while thou art in the way with him, lest thy opponent should deliver thee to the judge, and the judge should deliver thee to the assistant, and thou be cast into prison.

846

And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him.

848

Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified.,

849

Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots.

850

They say to him, Lord, that our eyes might be opened.

851

Then shall he answer them saying, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me.

852

And having agreed for a drachma a day, he sent them to his vineyard.

853

The festivities of Herod's birthday being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.

854

Implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, so that he might draw forth laborers into his harvest.

856

Lord, pity my son: for he is a lunatic, and suffers badly: for many times he falls into the fire, and many times into the water.

857

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my things? Or is thine eye evil because I am good

861

For I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;

862

He having ears to hear let him hear.

863

And he said to them, Retire. And having gone, they went away into the herd of swine: and, behold, all the herd of swine rushed down the precipice into the sea, and died in the water.

864

And Jesus said to them, Attend and keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.

866

And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; be was aroused from the dead; and for this, powers are energetic in him.

867

And others fell upon good earth and gave fruit, some truly a hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty.

868

Then Peter having answered, said to him, Behold, we have let go all things, and have followed thee; what therefore shall be to us?

869

And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things which he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Osanna to the son of David; they felt pain.

870

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were saved from danger.

871

Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn.

874

Saying, I have sinned, having delivered up guiltless blood. And they said, What to us? thou shalt see.

875

And, behold, one of them with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, pulled out his sword, having struck the chief priest's servant, took away his ear.

879

And Peter, having answered, said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: let us make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

880

Neither shouldst thou swear by thy head, for thou cant not make one hair white or black.

881

And they were scandalized in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in his house.

882

And five of them were discerning, and five foolish.

883

And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not:

884

And they, coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the sight to none, even till the Son of man rises from the dead.

885

And leaving them, he went without the city, to Bethany; and lodged there.

886

Truly I say to you, Wheresoever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, shall it also be spoken what she did, for a remembrance of her.

888

And quickly one of them, having run, and taken a sponge, and filled with vinegar, and put upon a reed, gave him to drink.

889

Then understood they that he spake, not to keep from the leaven of bread, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

891

And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.

892

And the whole of this was, that that spoken by the prophet be completed; saying,

894

There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of costly perfumed ointment, and she poured upon the head of him, reclining at table.

895

And he shall cut him in two equal parts, and he shall set his portion with the hypocrites: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

896

How do ye not understand that I spake not to you concerning bread, to keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

897

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,

899

And the crowd censured them that they should be silent: but they cried the more, saying, Pity us, O Lord, son of David.

900

And he delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he: hold him firmly.

901

Neither by the earth; for it is the footstool of his feet: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great kings

902

And Peter, having answered, said to him, Explain to us this parable.

903

And having been gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave sufficient silver coins to the soldiers,

904

And the chief priests, having taken the silver coins, said, It is not lawful to cast them for an offering, since it is the price of blood.

905

And they shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and scourge, and crucify: and he shall be raised the third day.

906

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were scandalized?

908

Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them.

909

Foolish and blind; for which is the greater, the gold, or the temple consecrating the gold?

910

And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

911

And having gone he finds them again sleeping: for their eyes were loaded.

912

And he having come to Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?

913

And the rest said, Let go: we should see if Elias comes, going to save him.

914

And put it in his new tomb, which he quarried in the rock: and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he departed.

916

Saying, Lord, we remember that that impostor said, yet living, After three days, I arise.

917

And the blind and lame came to him in the temple; and he cured them.

918

And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled.

920

And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

921

And love the first place at suppers, and the first seat in the assemblies,

922

And Jesus having known, said to them, Why offer ye toils to the woman? for a good work has she worked upon me.

923

And having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he was raised from the dead; and, behold, he leads before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him: behold I have said to you.

924

He receiving a prophet in a prophet's name, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he receiving the just in the name of the just, shall take the reward of the just

925

And Judas delivering him up, having answered, said, Far from it, am I, Rabbi? He said to him, Thou hast said.

926

And they had then an imprisoned distinguished, called Barabbas.

927

And a very great crowd strewed their garments in the way; and others cut down young shoots from the trees, and strewed in the way.

928

Nor the seven loaves of four thousand, and how many wicker baskets ye took?

929

And he having sworn by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him sitting above it.

930

And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

931

And he having answered, said, He having dipped with me the hand in the small dish, the same shall deliver me up.

932

And having been urged on by her mother, Give me, she says, here upon a board, the head of John the Baptist.

933

And some of them standing there, having heard, said, That he calls Elias.

934

And afterwards came also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

935

And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them.

936

Saying, Say ye, That his disciples having come by night, stole him, we being asleep.

937

For she, casting this perfumed oil upon my body, did to prepare me for interment,

938

Then shall they answer him, they also saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and attended not to thee?

939

And he said, Retire ye into the city, to a certain person, and say to him, The teacher says, My time is near; with thee do I the pascha with my disciples.

940

And a certain one said to him, Behold, thy mother, and thy brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee.

941

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, having said to him, That before the cock utter a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone forth without, he wept bitterly.

942

And he having answered, said to him speaking to him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

943

And those servants, having come to the ways, gathered together all, as many as they found, also both the evil and good, and the nuptial feast was filled with the reclining.

944

Brought the ass, and colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat over them.

945

And he having answered said, Truly I say to you, I know you not.

946

He upon the house-tops, let him not come down to take away anything out of his house:

947

And Jesus having known, said to them, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no loaves

948

And likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

949

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we took no loaves.

950

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same?

951

Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of five thousand, and how many baskets ye took?

952

Wherefore, that field was called, The field of blood, even to this day.

954

The lord of that servant shall come in a day that he expects not, and in an hour which he knows not,

955

And ye say, Whoever should say to father or mother, A gift, whatever thou shouldest be profited by me;

956

And having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having returned thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

957

Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying, That he blasphemed: what further need have we of witnesses? see, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

958

And they, having gone, rendered the tomb secure, having sealed the stone with the watch.

959

And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them.

960

Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts?

961

And others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.

962

And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed of the third time, speaking the same word.

963

Wherefore, with an oath, he agreed to give her whatever she should ask.

965

Who, finding one pearl of great value, having departed, he sold all things which he had, and purchased it.

966

Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.

967

And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come.

968

And Joseph having taken the body, inwrapped it in clean fine linen:

969

And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched.

971

And the disciples, having heard, fell upon their face, and were greatly afraid.

974

And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone.

975

And the king was grieved: but for his oath, and those reclining together at the table, he ordered to be given.

976

And his disciples seeing, felt pain, saying, For what this loss?

977

And they having received the silver coins, did as they were taught; and this word was spread a report by the Jews till this day.

978

And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic:

979

And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription?

980

Go ye, therefore, to the passages of the ways, and as many as ye should find, call to the nuptial feast.

981

If, therefore, David calls him Lord, how is he his son

982

Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee?

983

Show me the piece of money of tribute. And they brought him a drachma.

984

And he, having answered, said to one of them, Friend, I injure thee not; didst not thou agree with me for a drachma?

985

And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

986

And about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why stand ye here idle the whole day?

987

And, behold, all the city came forth to the meeting to Jesus: and seeing him, they besought that he would go away from their boundaries.

990

And the disciples, seeing, wondered, saying, How suddenly was the fig tree dried up!

991

Saying, That these last worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, having borne the burden and heat of the day.

992

And the disciples did as Jesus commanded them: and they prepared the passover.

993

Therefore they assembled together, Pilate laid to them, Whom will ye I shall loose to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called Christ?

994

But they, having gone out, divulged it in that, whole land.

996

And he having received five talents, having gone, worked with them, and he made other five talents.

997

Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these? They say to him, Yes, Lord.

998

And the chief priest, having risen, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these witness against thee?

999

And they said, Not in the festival, lest there should be an uproar among the people.

1000

And they being greatly grieved, began each of them to say to him, Far from it am I, O Lord:
