Now the birth, of Jesus Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, - before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.

Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, - for, he, will save his people from their sins.

Lo! a Virgin, shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, - and they shall call his name Emmanuel; which is, being translated, God with us.

and sending them to Bethlehem, said - Go search out accurately concerning the child, - and, as soon as ye find it, bring report unto me, that, I also, may come and bow myself down to it.

Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;

and, coming into the house, they saw the child, with Mary its mother, - and, falling down, prostrated themselves unto it, and, opening their treasures, offered unto it gifts - gold and frankincense and myrrh;

Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, - for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;

saying - Arise! and take unto thee the child and its mother, and be journeying into the land of Israel, - for they are dead, who were seeking the life of the child.

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.

Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, - Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written, - The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.

Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, - Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.

Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, - for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna.

And, if, thy right hand, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, - for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart.

Again, ye have heard that it was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, - but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.

Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Hypocrite! cast first, out of thine own eye, the beam, - and, then, shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote, out of the eye of thy brother.

And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, - Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins.

And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, - and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.

And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day.

And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, shall there be, - Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?

and straitly charged them, lest they should make him, manifest:

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

For the heart of this people hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, - lest, once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return; when I would certainly heal them.

wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;

And, giving orders that the multitudes should recline upon the grass, - taking the five loaves and the two fishes, - looking up into the heaven, he blessed; and, breaking, gave, the disciples, the loaves, and the disciples unto the multitude.

I will give thee, the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, - and, whatsoever thou shalt bind upon the earth, shall be bound in the heavens, and, whatsoever thou shalt loose upon the earth, shall be loosed in the heavens.

Then, straitly charged he the disciples, lest, to any man, they should say - He, is, the Christ.

But, that we may not cause them to stumble, go unto the sea, and cast in a hook, and, the first fish that cometh up, take, and, opening its mouth, thou shalt find a shekel, - that, take, and give to them for me and thee.

And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;

And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.

And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you - He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.

Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.

He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, - until he should pay what was owing.

And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.

He saith unto him, Which? Jesus, said - These: Thou shalt not commit murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, - Thou shalt not bear false witness;

Honour thy father and thy mother, - and - Thou shalt love thy neighbour as, thyself.

Jesus said unto him - If thou desirest to be perfect, Withdraw! sell thy substance, and give to the destitute, - and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come! be following me.

And, when the first came, they supposed that, more, they should receive, - and, they also, received severally a denary.

And, standing still, Jesus called them, and said - What desire ye I should do for you?

And, he, said unto him - Thou shalt love the Lord thy God - with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind:

The second, like it, is, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Serpents! broods of vipers! how should ye flee from the judgment of gehenna?

But alas! for the women with child, and for them that are giving suck, in those days;

For there will arise, false Christs, and false prophets, - and they will show great signs and wonders, so that, if possible, even the chosen, should be deceived: -

If therefore they should say unto you, Lo! in the desert, he is, Do not go forth; Lo! in the chambers, Do not believe it.

But, if that wicked servant should say in his heart - My master, delayeth,

How then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that, thus, it must needs come to pass?

saying - I have sinned, in delivering up righteous blood. But, they, said - What is that to us? thou, shalt see to it for thyself.

They therefore having come together, Pilate, said to them - Whom will ye I should release unto you? Barabbas? or Jesus, who is called Christ?

But, the High-priests and the elders, persuaded the multitudes, that they should claim Barabbas, but, Jesus, should, destroy.

Now the governor, answering, said unto them - Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said - Barabbas!

Command, therefore, that the sepulchre be made secure until the third day, - lest once the disciples should come and steal him, and say unto the people, He hath arisen from the dead! and, the last deception, shall be, worse than the first.
