According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet - Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, -

and he proclaimed, saying - He that is mightier than I cometh after me, of whom I am not worthy to stoop and unloose the strap of his sandals:

and a voice cameout of the heavens - Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, - In thee, I delight.

and Jesus said unto them - Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;

and he saith unto them - Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, - for, to this end, came I forth;

And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and kneeling, - saying unto him - If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me;

But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority to be forgiving sins upon the earth, he saith to the paralytic:

And, passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting over the tax-office, - and saith unto him - Be following me! And, arising, he followed him.

And, answering them, he saith - Who are my mother and my brethren?

And, looking around on them who, about him, in a circle, were sitting, he saith, See! my mother and my brethren!

Whosoever shall do the will of God, the same, is my brother and sister and mother.

They may surely look and yet not see, and surely hear and yet not understand, lest once they should return and it be forgiven them.

And he was saying unto them - Doth the lamp come that under the measure it should be put, or under the couch? Is it not that upon the lampstand it may be put?

For it is not hidden, save that it may be made visible; neither did it get hidden away, but that it might come into a place where it could be seen.

And he was saying - Thus, is the kingdom of God: As a man may cast seed upon the earth,

As a grain of mustard seed, - which, whensoever it may be sown upon the earth, is less than all the seeds that are upon the earth;

and, crying out with a loud voice, saith - What have in common with thee? O Jesus, Son of God Most High? I adjure thee by God, - Do not torment me!

and he was questioning him - What is thy name? and he saith to him - Legion, is my name, because we are, many;

and they besought him, saying - Send us into the swine, that, into them, we may enter;

and beseecheth him much, saying - My little daughter is at her last! - that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;

And, straightway, Jesus, taking note in himself of the power which, out of him, went forth, turning round in the crowd, was saying - Who hath touched my garments?

and his disciples were saying to him - Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, - and sayest thou - Who hath touched me?

when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel - Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee;

and he took an oath to her - Whatsoever thou shalt ask me, I will give thee, unto half my kingdom.

And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying - I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.

dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.

But, he, said unto them - Well, prophesied Isaiah concerning you, ye hypocrites, as it is written - This people, with the lips do honour me, while, their heart, far off, holdeth from me, -

But, in vain, do they pay devotions unto me, teaching for teachings, the commandments of men;

And he was saying to them - Well, do ye set aside the commandment of God, that, your own tradition, ye may observe;

But, ye, say - If a man shall say to his father or his mother, Korban! that is, A gift, whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,

And, again calling near the multitude, he was saying unto them - Hearken to me, all! and understand:

I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;

But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith - Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.

And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them - If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me.

For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad-message, shall save it;

For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.

And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, - This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him.

And one out of the multitude answered him - Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

But, he, answering, saith - O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!

Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying - I have faith! help my, want, of faith.

Whosoever, unto, one ofthese children, shall give welcome, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, not, unto me, giveth welcome, but, unto him that sent me.

But, Jesus, said - Do not forbid him! For, no one, is there, who shall do a work of power in my name, and have power, soon, to revile me;

But Jesus, seeing it, was greatly displeased, and said unto them - Suffer the children to come unto me, - do not hinder them; for, of such, is the kingdom of God.

And, as he was going forth into a road, one, running, and kneeling before him, was questioning him - Good Teacher! what shall I do that, life age - abiding, I may inherit?

And, Jesus, said unto him - Why callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one - God.

And, he, said unto him - Teacher! all these things, have I kept, from my youth.

And, Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said unto him - One thing, unto thee, is wanting; - Withdraw! whatsoever thou hast, sell, and give unto thedestitute, - and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come! be following me.

Jesus said - Verily, I say unto you - There is, no one, who hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for the sake of me, and for the sake ofthe glad-message,

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, 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, hearing that it was, Jesus the Nazarene, he began to be crying aloud, and saying - O Son of David! Jesus! have mercy on me.

And many were rebuking him, that he might hold his peace; but, he, so much the more, was crying aloud, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

And, answering him, Jesus said - What desirest thou, I should do for thee? And, the blind man, said unto him - Rabboni! that may recover sight.

and was teaching, and saying - Is it not written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the nations? but, ye, have made it, A den of robbers.

And, when ye stand praying, forgive, if aught ye have against any, - that, your Father also, who is in the heavens, may forgive you your offences.

But, Jesus, said unto them - I will question you, as to one matter, and answer me, - and I will tell you, by what authority, these things, I am doing:

The immersion by John, Of heaven, was it, or, of men? Answer me!

Yet one, had he, a son beloved: he sent him forth last unto them, saying - They will pay deference unto my son!

But, he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them - Why are ye, tempting, me? Bring me a denary, that I may see it.

David himself, hath said, by the Holy Spirit, - The Lord, hath said unto, my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, until I put thy foes beneath thy feet.

For, many, will come on my name, saying, I, am he! and, will deceive, many.

A beginning of birth-pangs, are these things. But be, ye, taking heed, unto yourselves: they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in synagogues, shall ye be beaten, - and, before governors and kings, shall ye be set, for my sake, for a witness unto them.

And ye will be men hated by all, because of my name; but, he that hath endured throughout, the same, shall be saved.

But be praying, that it may not happen in winter.

The heaven and the earth, shall pass away, but, my words, shall not pass away.

But, Jesus, said - Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;

For, always, have ye, the destitute, with you, and whensoever ye please, ye can, unto them, at any timedo well! But, me, not, always, have ye.

What she had, she used, - She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;

and, wheresoever he shall enter, say ye unto the householder - The teacher, saith, Where is my lodging, where, the passover, with my disciples, I may eat?

And, as they were reclining and eating, Jesus said - Verily, I say unto you - One from among you, will deliver me up, he that is eating with me.

And, he, said unto them - One of the twelve, he that is dipping with me into the onebowl:

And, as they were eating, taking a loaf, he blessed and brake, and gave unto them, and said - Take! this, is, my body;

And he said unto them - This, is, my blood of the covenant, that is to be poured out in behalf of many.

And Jesus saith unto him - Verily, I say unto thee, thou, this day, in this night, before that twice a cock crow, thrice, will deny me.

and he saith unto them - Encompassed with grief is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching.

and was saying - Abba! O Father! All things, are possible to thee: Bear aside this cup from me; but not what, I, will, but what, thou, wilt .

Be rousing yourselves, let us be leading on! Lo! he that is delivering me up, hath drawn near.

And Jesus, answering, said unto them - As against a robber, came ye forth, with swords and clubs, to arrest me?

Daily, was I with you, in the temple, teaching; and ye secured me not. But, that, the Scriptures, may be fulfilled --

And, straightway, a second time, a cock, crowed; and Peter was reminded of the declaration, how Jesus had said to him - Before a cock, twice, crow, thrice, wilt thou deny me. And, when he thought thereon, he began to weep.

And, when they had mocked him, they put off him, the purple, and put on him, his own garments. And they lead him forth, that they may crucify him.

And they impress a certain passer-by, Simon a Cyrenian, coming from a field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, - that he may carry his cross.

The Christ, the King of Israel - let him come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And, they who had been crucified with him, were casting it in his teeth.

and, at the ninth hour, Jesus, uttered a cry, with a loud voice - Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthanei? which is, being translated - My God! My God!to what end, didst thou forsake me?
