And they said to him, 'In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, 'Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'

And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming about his baptism, he said to them, 'Brood of vipers! who did shew you to flee from the coming wrath?

But Jesus answering said to him, 'Suffer now, for thus it is becoming to us to fulfil all righteousness,' then he doth suffer him.

And the Tempter having come to him said, 'If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'

But he answering said, 'It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

Jesus said to him again, 'It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,

'Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid;

'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment;

'Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not commit adultery;

'And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let him give to her a writing of divorce;

'Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine oaths;

'Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth;

'Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and shalt hate thine enemy;

And the centurion answering said, 'Sir, I am not worthy that thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my servant shall be healed;

And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those following, 'Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great faith have I found;

And Jesus said to the centurion, 'Go, and as thou didst believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in that hour.

And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did command to depart to the other side;

and a certain scribe having come, said to him, 'Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go;'

And another of his disciples said to him, 'Sir, permit me first to depart and to bury my father;'

and Jesus said to him, 'Follow me, and suffer the dead to bury their own dead.'

And he having come to the other side, to the region of the Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by that way,

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 lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, 'This one doth speak evil.'

And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, 'Why think ye evil in your hearts?

and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples, 'Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher eat?'

And Jesus having heard, said to them, 'They who are whole have no need of a physician, but they who are ill;

And Jesus said to them, 'Can the sons of the bride-chamber mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they shall fast.

for she said within herself, 'If only I may touch his garment, I shall be saved.'

And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said, 'Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and the woman was saved from that hour.

but the Pharisees said, 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

said to him, 'Art thou He who is coming, or for another do we look?'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone, declare to John the things that ye hear and see,

blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,

At that time Jesus answering said, 'I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.

and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, 'Lo, thy disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.'

And he said to them, 'Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him --

And he said to them, 'What man shall be of you, who shall have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise it?

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

but the Pharisees having heard, said, 'This one doth not cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.'

And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, 'Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no city or house having been divided against itself, doth stand,

And he answering said to them, 'A generation, evil and adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet;

and one said to him, 'Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do stand without, seeking to speak to thee.'

And he answering said to him who spake to him, 'Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?'

And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, he said, 'Lo, my mother and my brethren!

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 disciples having come near, said to him, 'Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?'

And he answering said to them that -- 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given,

Another simile he set before them, saying: 'The reign of the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field,

'And the servants of the householder, having come near, said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field? whence then hath it the darnel?

And he saith to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the servants said to him, Wilt thou, then, that having gone away we may gather it up?

And he said, No, lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye root up with it the wheat,

Another simile he set before them, saying: 'The reign of the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did sow in his field,

And he answering said to them, 'He who is sowing the good seed is the Son of Man,

and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one,

which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out,

And he said to them, 'Because of this every scribe having been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens, is like to a man, a householder, who doth bring forth out of his treasure things new and old.'

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 said to his servants, 'This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.'

And Jesus said to them, 'They have no need to go away -- give ye them to eat.'

And he said, 'Bring ye them to me hither.'

And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

And Peter answering him said, 'Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;'

and he said, 'Come;' and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,

And he answering said to them, 'Wherefore also do ye transgress the command of God because of your tradition?

and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did set aside the command of God because of your tradition.

And having called near the multitude, he said to them, 'Hear and understand:

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

And he answering said, 'Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant shall be rooted up;

And Peter answering said to him, 'Explain to us this simile.'

And Jesus said, 'Are ye also yet without understanding?

and he answering said, 'I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.'

and he answering said, 'It is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.'

And she said, 'Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;'

then answering, Jesus said to her, 'O woman, great is thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter was healed from that hour.

And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'

And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'

And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

and he answering said to them, 'Evening having come, ye say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red,

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

and Jesus said to them, 'Beware, and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;'

And Jesus having known, said to them, 'Why reason ye in yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves?

and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'

and Simon Peter answering said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

And Jesus answering said to him, 'Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

and he having turned, said to Peter, 'Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

Then said Jesus to his disciples, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me,

And Peter answering said to Jesus, 'Sir, it is good to us to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.'

and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, 'Rise, be not afraid,'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Elijah doth indeed come first, and shall restore all things,

And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear you? bring him to me hither;'

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

And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,

And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'

Peter saith to him, 'From the strangers.' Jesus said to him, 'Then are the sons free;

And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the midst of them,
