Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan,

and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing their sins.

And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him,

Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea -- for they were fishers --

rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were before you.

And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching,

And evening having come, they brought to him many demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did heal all who were ill,

and the demons were calling on him, saying, 'If thou dost cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;'

and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, 'Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house, that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples,

he saith to them, 'Withdraw, for the damsel did not die, but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him;

and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, 'See, let no one know;'

And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as sheep not having a shepherd,

Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.

'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;

'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;

All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.

At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,

And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, 'Is this the Son of David?'

and gathered together unto him were many multitudes, so that he having gone into the boat did sit down, and all the multitude on the beach did stand,

and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered,

and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.

and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, 'Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works?

and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honour except in his own country, and in his own house:'

and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.

and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying -- 'It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out;

and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,

and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

Then his disciples having come near, said to him, 'Hast thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were stumbled?'

And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having come to him, were asking him, saying -- 'Let her away, because she crieth after us;'

And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'

And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face, and were exceedingly afraid,

and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.'

Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said, 'Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?'

and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.

'And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;

for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive it -- let him receive.'

Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.

And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly, saying, 'Who, then, is able to be saved?'

and having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day -- and the heat.

And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the two brothers,

and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,

and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.'

and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, 'Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much displeased;

the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.

and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is ready, and those called were not worthy,

'And there were with us seven brothers, and the first having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother;

And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching;

and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the Sadducees, were gathered together unto him;

And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating, and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day Noah entered into the ark,

and five of them were prudent, and five foolish;

they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not take with themselves oil;

'And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were sleeping,

Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the chief priest who was called Caiaphas;

And having seen it, his disciples were much displeased, saying, 'To what purpose is this waste?

the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written concerning him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been born.'

And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread, and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat, this is my body;'

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and he saith to Peter, 'So! ye were not able one hour to watch with me!

and having come, he findeth them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

And those laying hold on Jesus led him away unto Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together,

And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

And the governor said, 'Why, what evil did he?' and they were crying out the more, saying, 'Let be crucified.'

and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, 'Hail, the king of the Jews.'

And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

and sitting down, they were watching him there,

and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent,

and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who have fallen asleep, arose,

And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were exceedingly afraid, saying, 'Truly this was God's Son.'

And there were there many women beholding from afar, who did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre.

And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto Pilate,

and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, 'Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him.

And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
