And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

and he saith to them, 'We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'

and saith to him, 'See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'

And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,

And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and they followed him.

And he said to them, 'The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,

And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him, in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues;

and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on him, for they said that he was beside himself,

for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.'

for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.

for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from him.'

for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade, afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear;

and they feared a great fear, and said one to another, 'Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey him?'

(for he said to him, 'Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

for she said -- 'If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years old; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'

And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- 'John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

for John said to Herod -- 'It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, 'The head of John the Baptist;'

and he said to them, 'Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, 'Take courage, I am he, be not afraid.'

for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the elders,

and he answering said to them -- 'Well did Isaiah prophesy concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This people with the lips doth honour Me, and their heart is far from Me;

for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.'

for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the death;

and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father or for his mother,

setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye delivered; and many such like things ye do.'

for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, --

And Jesus said to her, 'Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and to cast it to the little dogs.'

And she answered and saith to him, 'Yes, sir; for the little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's crumbs.'

and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'

and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'

for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'

And Peter answering saith to Jesus, 'Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one:'

for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'

and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

for he who is not against us is for us;

for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward;

and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea.

And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire -- the unquenchable --

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched.

And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire --

where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being quenched;

for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.

And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him,

And Jesus answering said to them, 'For the stiffness of your heart he wrote you this command,

and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they are no more two, but one flesh;

and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to them, 'Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.

It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.'

And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.'

And Jesus answering said, 'Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

And there come near to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying, 'Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;'

and he said to them, 'What do ye wish me to do for you?'

but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.'

for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.'

and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time of figs,

and he was teaching, saying to them, 'Hath it not been written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?'

And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching;

for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say.

But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet;

And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the simile, and having left him, they went away;

and they having come, say to him, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? may we give, or may we not give?'

in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of which of them shall she be wife -- for the seven had her as wife?'

for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are in the heavens.

And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with understanding, said to him, 'Thou art not far from the reign of God;' and no one any more durst question him.

for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine enemies -- thy footstool;

who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretence are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant judgment.'

for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.'

for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am he, and many they shall lead astray;

and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not troubled, for these behove to be, but the end is not yet;

for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows are these.

'And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a testimony to them;

'And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now, and may not be;

for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible, also the chosen;

and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.

Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the time is;

watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at cock-crowing, or at the morning;

and there were certain much displeased within themselves, and saying, 'For what hath this waste of the ointment been made?

for this could have been sold for more than three hundred denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at her.
