A voice of one crying! - In the desert, prepare ye the way of Yahweh, - Make smooth in the waste plain a highway for our God:

Behold me! sending my messenger, who will prepare a way before me, - and, suddenly, shall come to his temple The Lord whom ye are seeking, even the messenger of the covenant in whom ye are delighting, Lo! he cometh! saith Yahweh of hosts.

Lo! I am sending unto you Elijah the prophet, - before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh;

For, this, is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice, of one crying aloud! In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.

Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, - Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not?

said unto him, Art, thou, the coming one? or, a different one, are we to expect?

And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah - the one destined to come.

For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, - because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother; for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her. read more. And desiring, to kill, him, he feared the multitude, because, as a prophet, they held him. But, a birthday feast of Herod taking place, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod; wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself; and, she, being led on by her mother, - Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser. And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given; and sent and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples, going near, bare away the corpse, and buried him, and came and brought tidings unto Jesus.

Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him. And, he, said to her - What desirest thou? She saith unto him - Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom. read more. But Jesus, answering, said - Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him - We are able. He saith unto them - My cup, indeed, ye shall drink; but, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, - except unto those for whom it hath been prepared by my Father. And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren.

and, straightway, he called them, - and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.

And there were, women also, from afar, looking on, - among whom were both Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome;

And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.

Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, - whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ,

And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets. And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break. read more. And they made signs to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, - so that they began to sink. And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying - Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord! For, amazement, overcame him, and all them who were with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they had taken; likewise also, both James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon - Do not fear! henceforth, shall thou be taking, men, that they may, live.

But, they, said unto him - The disciples of John, do fast much, and, supplications, do make, - likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees; but, thine, do eat and drink!

And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said - Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them?

And, this, is the witness of John, when the Jews sent forth unto him, out of Jerusalem, priests and Levites, - that they might question him - Who art, thou? and he confessed, and did not deny, - and he confessed - I, am not, the Christ; read more. and they questioned him - What then? Art, thou, Elijah? and he saith - I am not; The prophet, art, thou? and he answered - No! So they said unto him - Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, - What sayest thou, concerning thyself? He said - I, am a Voice, of one crying aloud; - In the desert, make ye straight, the way of the Lord: according as said Isaiah the prophet. And they had been sent forth from among the Pharisees; and they questioned him, and said unto him - Why, then, dost thou immerse, - if, thou, art not, the Christ, nor Elijah, nor, the Prophet? John answered them, saying - I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; - after me, coming: - Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.

after me, coming: - Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal. These things, in Bethany, came to pass, beyond the Jordan, where John was, immersing. read more. On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith - See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, - that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. read more. For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him. He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, - because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God. And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, - and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works. For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved; But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought. After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing. And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; -

He that hath received his witness, hath set seal - that, God, is, true.

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

One of Jesus' disciples was reclining in his bosom, one whom Jesus loved:

And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest;

Jesus, therefore, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved, saith unto his mother - O woman, see! thy son! Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple - See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home.

And, he that hath seen, hath borne witness; and, genuine, is his testimony, and, he, knoweth that he saith, what is true, that, ye also, may believe.

She runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved, and saith unto them - They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;

And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

The same, had been orally taught the way of the Lord, and, being fervent in his spirit, began speaking and teaching accurately, the things concerning Jesus, - properly knowing, only the immersion of John.

And he said - Into what, then, were ye immersed? And, they, said - Unto John's immersion.

And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, should go unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: -

So that, the law, hath proved, our tutor, training us, for Christ, in order that, by faith, we might be declared righteous;

Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;

And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren - James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother - in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets, - and he called them.

And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him, Peter and James and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart;

Then came unto him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, bowing down, and asking something from him. And, he, said to her - What desirest thou?

And the ten, hearing, were sorely displeased, concerning the two brethren.

And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.

among whom was Mary the Magdalene, also Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

And, going forward a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them who were in the boat putting in order the nets; and, straightway, he called them, - and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (and imposed on them a name - Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder);

and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (and imposed on them a name - Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder);

And he suffered no one to follow with him, save Peter and James and John the brother of James.

And there come near unto him, James and John, the twosons of Zebedee, - saying unto him - Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us.

And there come near unto him, James and John, the twosons of Zebedee, - saying unto him - Teacher! we desire, that, whatsoever we shall ask thee, thou wilt do for us. But, he, said unto them - What desire ye, I should do for you? read more. And, they, said unto him - Grant us, that, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, we may sit, in thy glory. But, Jesus, said unto them - Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup that, I, am to drink? or to be immersed, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed? And, they, said unto him - We are able. And, Jesus, said unto them - The cup which, I, am to drink, ye shall drink, and, with the immersion wherewith, I, am to be immersed, shall ye be immersed; But, to sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except unto them for whom it hath been prepared. And the ten, hearing, began to be sorely displeased, concerning James and John.

And, as he was sitting within the mount of Olives, over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning him, privately -

And there were, women also, from afar, looking on, - among whom were both Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Little and Joses, and Salome;

And it came to pass, while the multitude was pressing upon him, and was hearing the word of God, that, he, was standing near the lake of Gennesaret; and he saw two boats placed near the lake, and, the fishers, having gone away, from them, were washing their nets. read more. And, entering into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he requested him, to put off from the land, a little; and, taking a seat, out of the boat, began he teaching the multitudes.

And, entering into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he requested him, to put off from the land, a little; and, taking a seat, out of the boat, began he teaching the multitudes. And, when he ceased speaking, he said unto Simon - Put off into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. read more. And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets. And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break. And they made signs to their partners in the other boat, to come and help them; and they came, and filled both the boats, - so that they began to sink. And Simon, beholding, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying - Depart from me! Because, a sinful man, am I, O Lord! For, amazement, overcame him, and all them who were with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they had taken; likewise also, both James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon - Do not fear! henceforth, shall thou be taking, men, that they may, live. And, bringing the boats down on to the land, they left all, and followed him.

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

And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said - Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them?

and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith - See! the Lamb of God! and the two disciples hearkened unto him speaking, and they followed Jesus.

And Simon Peter was following with Jesus, also another disciple. But, that disciple, was known unto the High-priest, and entered in, with Jesus, into the court of the High-priest; whereas, Peter, remained standing at the door outside. The other disciple, therefore, that was known of the High-priest, went out, and spake unto the portress, and brought in Peter.

The High-priest, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching.

So they lead Jesus from Caiaphas unto the judgment-hall. Now it was early; and, they themselves, entered not into the judgment-hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover.

Afterwards, he saith unto the disciple - See! thy mother! And, from that hour, the disciple took her unto his own home.

She runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved, and saith unto them - They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

After these things, Jesus manifested himself again, unto the disciples, by the sea of Tiberias; and manifested himself, thus: -

That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea;

Now, Peter and John, were going up into the temple, for the hour of prayer - the ninth;

Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; -

And, looking at Peter's boldness of speech, and John's, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;

And, considering the matter, he came unto the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where a considerable number were gathered together and praying.

And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem; and there went certain also of the disciples from Caesarea, along with us, who were to introduce us unto one with whom we might be entertained, one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple. read more. Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us. And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present. And, saluting them, he went on to narrate, one by one, each of the things which God had wrought among the nations through his ministry. And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him - Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law. Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking. What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come. This, then, do, which unto thee, we say: - We have four men who have a vow upon themselves. Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing, - on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law. But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication. Then Paul, taking unto him the men, on the next day, with them, being purified, began entering into the temple to declare the filling up of the days of the purification - until, the offering, had been presented for each one of them. When, however, the seven days were on the point of being concluded, the Jews from Asia, observing him in the temple, began to urge-on all the multitude, and thrust upon them their hands, crying out - Israelites! be giving help! This, is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, is teaching, all men everywhere; furthermore, even Greeks, hath he brought into the temple, and hath profaned this holy place. For they had before seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city along with him, whom they were supposing, Paul, had brought, into the temple. And the whole city was set in motion, and there took place a running together of the people, and, laying hold of Paul, they proceeded to drag him outside the temple, and, straightway, the doors were made fast. When, also, they were seeking to slay him, there was carried up information, unto the captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion: - who, instantly taking unto him soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them; and, they, seeing the captain and the soldiers, left off striking Paul. Then, the captain, drawing near, laid hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains, - and began to enquire, who he might be, and what he had done; but, others, were calling out, something else, in the multitude; and so, as he could not get to know the certainty, because of the tumult, he ordered him to be brought into the castle. And, when he came unto the stairs, so it was that he was borne along by the soldiers, because of the force of the multitude; for the throng of the people was following, crying out - Away with him! But, when he was on the point of being taken into the castle, Paul saith unto the captain - Is it allowed me, to say somewhat unto thee? And he said - With Greek, art thou acquainted? Not, then, art, thou, the Egyptian, who, before these days, stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four-thousand men of the Assassins? And Paul said - I, indeed, am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, - a citizen, of no obscure city; but I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people! And, when he had given leave, Paul, standing upon the stairs, waved with his hand unto the people; and, when great silence was secured, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying -

And when they perceived the favour which had been given unto me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave, the right hand of fellowship, unto me and Barnabas, in order that, we, should go unto the nations, and, they, unto the circumcision: -

I, John, your brother, and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the word of God, and the witness of Jesus.

saying - What thou seest, write in a scroll, and send unto the Seven Assemblies, - unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, - and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, - and unto Laodicea.

And, Barnabas, was minded to take with them John also, called Mark;

And, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying - Because, loaves, we took not.

He led him unto Jesus. Jesus, looking at him, said - Thou, art Simon, the son of John, - thou, shalt be called, Cephas; which is to be translated, Peter.

When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him - Be feeding my lambs. He saith unto him, again, the second time - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him - Be shepherding my sheep. read more. He saith unto him, the third time - Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him - Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him - Be feeding my sheep.

Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; -
