And he said to them: Why are you fearful, you of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea: and there was a great calm.

And when he had come to the opposite side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two men, coming out of the tombs, possessed with demons, very fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily I say to you, You will not have made the circuit of the cities of Israel before the Son of man shall come.

and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?

And he charged them not to make him known; read more. that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: Be hold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul delights.

And when the ten heard it, their anger was aroused against the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him, and said: You know that the rulers of the Gentiles act as lords over them, and their great men have authority over them. read more. It shall not be so among you.

And again he entered Capernaum, after some days; and they heard that he was in the house.

But some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts:

And Jesus, immediately perceiving in his spirit that they thus reasoned within themselves, said to them: Why are you reasoning thus in your hearts?

And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphoeus sitting at the custom-house; and he said to him: Follow me. And he arose and followed him. And it came to pass, as Jesus reclined at table in his house, that many publicans and sinners reclined with him and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him. read more. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with publicans and sinners, they said to his disciples: Why is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners? And when Jesus heard it, he said to them: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call righteous men, but sinners.

and crying out with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. And he said to them: Come yourselves privately into a desert place, and rest awhile. For there were many coming and going, and they had not leisure even to eat. read more. And they went away, by ship, into a desert place, privately. And many saw them departing, and recognized him; and they ran thither on foot from all the cities, and went before them, and came together to him. And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were as sheep that had no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. And when much of the day was now spent, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and much of the day is now spent; send them away, that they may go into the country and the villages round about, and buy bread for them selves: for they have nothing to eat. He answered and said to them: Do you give them food. And they said to him: Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give them food?

it seemed good to me also, having obtained exact information of all things from the very first, to write them in order for you, most excel lent Theophilus,

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night. And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid. read more.

For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men. And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable. And after they had seen it, they made known every where the words that had been spoken to them of this child. And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

And the child grew, and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon him.

And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?

And he said to them: Why did you seek for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.

And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with man.

and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in a bodily form, like a dove; and there came a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I delight.

And Jesus answered and said to him: Get behind me, Satan; it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and his fame went throughout the whole of that region. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he entered the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read.

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he entered the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read. And the volume of Isaiah the prophet was given to him: and when he had unrolled the volume, he found the place where it was written: read more. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And he rolled up the volume, and save it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all that were in the synagogue were earnestly fixed upon him. And he began to say to them: This scripture which you have heard, is this day fulfilled.

But he passed through the midst of them, and went away.

And there was in the synagogue a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon; and he cried out with a loud voice, saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. read more. And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him into the midst, and came out of him, and hurt him not. And amazement came upon all, and they spoke one to another, saying: "What teaching is this? for with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out. And his fame went abroad into every place of the country round about. And he arose and went out of the synagogue into the house of Simon. And Simon's mother-in-law was confined with a violent fever: and they besought him in her behalf. And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever, and it left her: and she arose immediately, and ministered to them. And when the sun had gone down, all that had any sick with various diseases, brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and cured them. Demons also came out of many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuked them, and did not permit them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret,

And it came to pass while the multitude was pressing on him to hear the word of God, and he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, that he saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. read more. And he entered one of the ships, which was Simon s, and requested him to push out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the multitude from the ship. And when he had made an end of speaking, he said to Simon: Push out into the deep water, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answered and said to him: Master, we have toiled all night and have caught nothing; but at thy command, I will let down the net. And when they had done this, they inclosed a great number of fishes, and their net began to break; and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.

and they beckoned to their partners who were in the other ship, to come and help them. And they came and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. And when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at the knees of Jesus, and said: Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man. read more. For amazement at the draught of fishes which they had caught had seized upon him and all that were with him; and in like manner also upon James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon: Fear not; from this time forth you shall catch men.

And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he was teaching, and there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was exerted to heal them.

And their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying: Why do you eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.

He said to them: But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said: The Christ of God.

And as he prayed, the appearance of his face was changed, and his raiment became white and glittering.

And it came to pass, as the time for him to be taken up into heaven had fully come, that he set his face steadfastly to go up to Jerusalem.

For this reason also the Wisdom of God said: I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and persecute,

Strive to enter in through the strait gate; for many, I say to you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

And they brought to him infants also, that he might touch them. But when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. And Jesus called them to him, and said: Let the little children come to me, and hinder them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. read more. Verily I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God, as a little child, shall in no way enter into it.

And when he had said these things, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, to strengthen him. And he was in agony, and prayed more earnestly. And his sweat was like great drops of blood falling to the ground.

And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said: Let this matter proceed thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him.

Pilate said to the chief priests and to the multitudes: I find no fault in this man.

And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And dividing his clothing into parts, they cast lots. And the people stood and looked on. And the rulers, with them scoffed at him, saying: He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ, the chosen of God.

But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation? And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong. read more. And he said to Jesus: remember me, Lord, when thou comest in thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you, to-day you shall be with me in paradise.

When the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying: Truly, this was a righteous man.

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then he opened their mind, that they might understand the scriptures, read more. and he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus was it necessary that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day,

IN the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD. was with God, and the WORD was God. He was in the beginning with God. read more. All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came as a witness, to testify of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not the Light; but he came to testify of the Light. He was the true Light, which, coming into the world, gives light to every man. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own country, and his own people received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave the privilege of be coming the children of God, even to those who believe on his name; who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the "WORD became flesh, and tabernacled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and of truth. John testified of him, and cried, saying: This is he of whom I said: He that comes after me, is now before me, for he existed before me. And from his fullness have we all received, even grace for grace; for the law was given through Moses, but the grace and the truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has revealed him.

These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason I have come immersing in water. And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

And John testified, saying: I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

And I knew him not; but he that sent me to immerse in water, said to me, On whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, this is he that immerses in the Holy Spirit.

and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).

Now, Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

And on the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.

And the passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Then answered the Jews and said to him: What sign do you show us, seeing that you do these things? Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days. read more. Then the Jews said to him: Forty and six years was this temple in building, and will you rebuild it in three days?

After these things, Jesus and his disciples came into the land of Judea, and he remained there with them, and immersed. And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed; read more. for John had not yet been thrown into prison.

for John had not yet been thrown into prison. There arose, therefore, a dispute between some of John's disciples and a Jew, about purification. read more. And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.

For he whom God has sent, speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him.

When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John,

When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John, (though not Jesus himself, but his disciples immersed,)

(though not Jesus himself, but his disciples immersed,) he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

he left Judea, and went again into Galilee. And it was necessary that he should go through Samaria. read more. He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour. There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. And Jesus said to her: Give me to drink. For his disciples had gone into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.) Jesus answered and said to her: If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink, you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. The woman said to him: Sir, you have ho vessel with which you can draw, and the well is deep; whence have you that living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said to her: "Whoever drinks of this water, will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I will give him, shall be in him a fountain of water springing up in order to eternal life. The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: You have well said. I have no husband; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly. The woman said to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship. Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour is coming, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. You worship you know not what; we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is spirit; and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman said to him: I know that Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming; when he comes, he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her: I who speak to you am he. And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her? Then the woman left her water-pot, and went into the city, and said to the men: Come, see a man who has told me all things that I ever did. Is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city and came to him. In the mean time, the disciples besought him, saying: Rabbi, eat. But he said to them: I have food to eat of which you know not. Then the disciples said one to another: Has any one brought him food? Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest.

Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest. And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for life eternal; that he that sows, and he that reaps, may rejoice together. read more. For in this is the saying true, One sows and another reaps. I have sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, because of the word of the woman who testified, He told me all things that I ever did. When, therefore, the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to abide with them. And he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word; and they said to the woman: We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is in truth the Savior of the world, the Christ. And after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee;

Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.

Then said Jesus to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.

After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

After this was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep gate, a pool, called, in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, with five porches.

Now there is in Jerusalem, near the sheep gate, a pool, called, in the Hebrew tongue, Bethesda, with five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered, who waited for the moving of the water.

In these lay a great multitude of sick persons, blind, lame, withered, who waited for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and stirred the water. Then he who entered first after the motion of the water, was cured of whatever disease he had. And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years.

And a certain man was there, who had been sick thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health?

When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been already a long time in that condition, he said to him: Do you wish to be restored to health? The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me.

The sick man answered him: Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred; but while I am coming, another goes down before me. Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk. And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

And the man was immediately restored to health; and he took up his bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath. The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk. read more. Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk? But he that had been restored to health knew not who he was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, because a multitude was in the place. After this Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him: Behold, you have been restored to health; sin no more, lest some worse thing befall you. The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus that had restored him to health. And for this reason did the Jews persecute Jesus, and seek to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath. But Jesus answered them: My Father works till now, and I also work. For this reason, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but also said that God was his own father, making himself equal with God. Then Jesus answered and said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do; for whatever things he does, these also the Son does in like manner.

But I have testimony greater than that of John; for the works which the Father has given me to finish, these very works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father has sent me.

How can you believe who receive honor one from another, and seek not the honor that comes from God alone?

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

and we believe, and know that thou art the Christ, the Son of God.

And after this Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

And after this Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

Then his brothers said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples may see your works which you do; for no one does any thing in secret, while he himself seeks to be before the public. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.

He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done?

On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.

But as they continued to ask him, he stood up, and said to them: Let him among you who is without sin, first throw a stone at her.

She said: No one, sir. Jesus said to her: Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more. Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

You judge according to the flesh; I judge no man.

And he that sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.

I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeks and judges.

And the feast of the dedication was celebrated in Jerusalem, and it was winter: and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

Jesus answered them: I have told you, and you do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me.

I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again, to stone him. read more. Jesus answered them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father: for which of these works do you stone me? The Jews answered and said to him: We do not stone you for a good work, but for your impious words; and because you, being man, make yourself God.

but if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Father, glorify thy name. Then there came a voice from heaven: I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come that he must go out of this world to his Father; and having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them to the end.

Philip said to him: Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be content. Jesus said to him: Have I been so long with you, and have you not known me, Philip? He that has seen me, has seen the Father; and how say you, Show us the Father? read more. Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. The Father who dwells in me, he does the works. Believe me, that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me. If not, believe me on account of the works themselves.

I will not talk much more with you; for the prince of this world is coming, and has nothing in me.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. Every branch in me that bears no fruit, he takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. read more. Now are you pure, through the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I will abide in you. As the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing. If any one abide not in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and such are gathered, and thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done for you. In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and in this you will be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Behold, the hour is coming, and has now come, in which you shall be scattered, each one to his own home, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

and led him first to Annas; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest that year.

And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that other disciple was acquainted with the chief priest, and he went in with Jesus into the palace of the chief priest.

Then Pilate said to them: Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. Then the Jews said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any one to death;

Then Pilate said to him: You are a king, then? Jesus answered; You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I born, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might testify to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, hears my voice.

and said: Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him with their open hands.

After this Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend. Every one that makes himself a king, speaks against Caesar

Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made this same Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.

For Moses said to the fathers, A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren; him shall you hear in all things that he shall say to you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul that will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. read more. And all the prophets, from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days. You are the sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

and he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.

And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them.

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit, and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil; for God was with him.

explaining and affirming that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead; and that this Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.

Therefore, we are buried with him, by immersion, into death, that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so also we should walk in a new life. For if we have become united to him by the likeness of his death, we shall certainly be united to him by the likeness of his resurrection; read more. knowing this, that our former man has been crucified with him, in order that the sinful body may be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer serve sin: for he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more; death has dominion over him no longer; for, as it regards his dying, he, once for all, died to sin; but as it regards his living, he lives to God. So also do you count yourselves as dead indeed to sin, but as living to God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may bring to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen, that he may put to shame the strong; read more. and the ignoble things of the world, and the things that are despised, has God chosen, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are; that no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who has become to us, from God, wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption; that, as it is written: He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

Then, also, those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

So, also, it is written: The first man Adam became a living soul, the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not think it an act of robbery to be equal with God; read more. but he divested himself by taking the form of a servant, and being made in the likeness of men: and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient even to death, the death, indeed, of the cross. For which reason God has highly exalted him, and, also, bestowed on him a name that is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow of those who are in heaven, and those who are on earth, and those who are under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

he will destroy him, whose coming is, according to the energy of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

For we have not a high priest that can not sympathize with our infirmities; but he was tempted in all things like ourselves, yet without sin.

So, also, the Christ did not take upon himself the honor of becoming a high priest: but he gave him this honor, who said to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:

In the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard with respect to that which he feared,

Wherefore, he is able also to save through all time those who come to God by him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. For such a high priest is suited to us, who is holy, harm less, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;

Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;

Wherefore, when he comes into the world, he says: Sacrifice and offering thou hast not desired, but a body thou hast prepared me;

Then, said I, Behold, I come, (in the roll of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, God.

For by one offering, he has made a perfect and perpetual expiation for the sanctified.

For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;

Since, then, Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, do you also arm yourselves with the same determination; for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh, according to the desires of men, but according to the will of God.

For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world and its desire passes away: but he that does the will of God, abides forever.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ s, and he shall reign from age to age.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying: The kingdom of the world has become our Lord's and his Christ s, and he shall reign from age to age.

And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying: Now has come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren, he that accused them before our God day and night, is cast down.

And I fell at his feet to worship him; and he said to me: See that you do it not; I am your fellow-servant, and of your brethren that have the testimony of Jesus; worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright, morning star.

But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit.

But Jesus Christ was begotten thus: After his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they had come together, she was found to be with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately.

Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not choosing to make an example of her, intended to put her away privately. But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit.

But while he was thinking of these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take home Mary your wife; for that which is begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins.

And she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus; for he will save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

Now all this was done, that the word might be fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us.

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and his name shall be called Immanuel, which, when translated, is, God with us. And Joseph awoke from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him; and he took home his wife,

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and have come to do him homage. read more. When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. And they said to him: In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the prophet: And thou, Bethlehem, city of Judah, art by no means the least among the chiefs of Judah; for out of thee shall come a leader, that shall be a shepherd to my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had secretly called the Magi, inquired of them strictly at what time the star, then visible, first made its appearance: and sending them to Bethlehem, he said: Go, make strict inquiry for the young child: and when you have found him, bring me word, that I also may go and do him homage. When they had heard the king, they departed; and lo, the star, which they had seen in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over the place where the young child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with very great joy. And having come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother; and falling down, they did him homage. And when they had opened their treasures, they offered to him gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed into their own country by another way. When they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying: Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there till I bring you word; for Herod is about to seek for the young child, to destroy him. And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, and was there till the death of Herod; that the word might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through his prophet, saying: Out of Egypt have I called my Son. Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the Magi, was greatly enraged, and sent out and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem and in all its borders, from the age of two years and under, according to the time which he had strictly inquired of the Magi. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying: A voice was heard in Eamah, wailing and weeping, and great mourning; Eachel weeping for her children, and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.

While he was yet speaking to the multitudes, behold, his mother and his brothers stood without, desiring to speak to him. And some one said to him: Behold, your mother and your brothers stand without, desiring to speak to you. read more. But he answered and said to him that told him: Who is my mother? and who are my brothers? And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said: Behold my mother and my brothers. For whoever will do the will of my Father who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: All authority in heaven and on earth is given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations, immersing them (the disciples) into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; read more. teaching them to observe all things whatever I have commanded you: and lo; I am with you all the days, even to the end of the age.

THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

And when his relatives heard of it, they came out to take him; for they said: He is beside himself.

His mother and his brothers came, therefore, and standing without, sent to him, and called him.

And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.

But he was silent, and made no answer. Again, the chief priest asked him, and said to him: Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? Jesus replied: I am. And you shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming with the clouds of heaven.

And the superscription containing his accusation was written above him: THE KING OF THE JEWS.

And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, to a virgin be trothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary. read more. And the angel came into her presence, and said: Hail, graciously accepted: the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women. And she was perplexed at his words, and reasoned, what this salutation could mean. And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary; for you have found favor with God. And behold, you shall conceive and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there shall be no end. But Mary said to the angel: How shall this be, since I know not a man? And the angel answered and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; for which reason, also, that which is begotten, being holy, shall be called the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth your kinswoman, even she has conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her who is called barren; for nothing shall be impossible with God. And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose in those days, and went with haste into the mountainous country, into a city of Judah; and she came into the house of Zachariah, and saluted Elizabeth. And it came to pass, when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, that the babe in her womb leaped for joy. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke with a loud voice, and said: Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, behold, when the voice of your salutation sounded in my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed; for there shall be a fulfillment of the things which were spoken to her from the Lord. And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior; for he has looked upon the lowly condition of his handmaid. For, behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed; for He that is Mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name: and his mercy is from generation to generation upon those who fear him. He has done mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in the understanding of their hearts. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, but the rich he has sent empty away. He has helped Israel his servant, (as he spoke to our fathers,) by remembering his mercy to Abraham and to his posterity forever. And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her own house. Now the time for Elizabeth to be delivered had fully come; and she gave birth to a son. And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had showed great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they called him by the name of his father, Zachariah. And his mother answered and said: Not so: but he shall be called John. And they said to her: There is no one among your relatives that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, to know what he wished him to be called. And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying: His name is John. And they were all astonished. And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue was loosed, and he spoke, and praised God. And fear came on all that dwelt round about them; and all these things were talked of everywhere throughout the mountainous country of Judea. And all that heard them, laid them up in their hearts, and said: What, then, will this child be? And the hand of the Lord was with him. And Zachariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he has visited and redeemed his people; and he has raised up for us, in the house of David his servant, a horn of salvation, (as he spoke by the mouth of all his holy prophets of ancient times,) salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us, in order to show the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, the oath which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us, that being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all our days. And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High; for you shall go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways, by giving to his people the knowledge of salvation in the remission of their sins, through the tender mercies of our God; by which the dawn from on high has visited us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, by guiding our feet in the way of peace. And the child grew and became strong in spirit; and he was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the inhabitants of the land should be enrolled. This enrollment first took place when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.

And there were in the same country shepherds, living in the open field, and guarding their flock by night. And, behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were greatly afraid. read more. And the angel said to them: Be not afraid; for, behold, I bring you good news of great joy, which shall be for all people. For there is born for you this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this shall be to you the sign: you will find the babe wrapped in swathing-clothes, and lying in a stable. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will among men. And it came to pass, that, after the angels had gone away into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us now go to Bethlehem, and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the stable. And after they had seen it, they made known every where the words that had been spoken to them of this child. And all that heard, wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things in her mind, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things which they had heard and seen, as it had been told to them. And when eight days were completed for circumcising him, his name was called Jesus, as it had been called by the angel, before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days for their purification were completed according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord, (as it is written in the law of the Lord: Every male that opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)

And Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his ministry, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, son of lleli,

son of Meleah, son of Mainan, son of Mattatha, son of Nathan, son of David,

And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and, as his custom was, he entered the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up to read. And the volume of Isaiah the prophet was given to him: and when he had unrolled the volume, he found the place where it was written: read more. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken hearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind; to set free the oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And he rolled up the volume, and save it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all that were in the synagogue were earnestly fixed upon him. And he began to say to them: This scripture which you have heard, is this day fulfilled. And all extolled him; and they wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth, and said: Is not this the son of Joseph? And he said to them: You will assuredly apply to me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself. Whatever things we have heard were done in Capernaum, do also here in your country. And he said: Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. And I tell you, in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, so that a great famine was on all the land: and to no one of them was Elijah sent, but to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow.
