And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,

and saying -- 'Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'

and he said to them, 'To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

And he said, 'Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,

And he said, 'To what may we liken the reign of God, or in what simile may we compare it?

And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

And he said to them, 'Verily I say to you, That there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death till they see the reign of God having come in power.'

Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit -- dumb and deaf -- I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;'

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 --

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;

verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;'

And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and having kneeled to him, was questioning him, 'Good teacher, what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?'

And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples, 'How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of God!'

And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus again answering saith to them, 'Children, how hard is it to those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God!

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.'

blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of our father David; Hosanna in the highest.'

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.

verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in the reign of God.'

and one having run, and having filled a spunge with vinegar, having put it also on a reed, was giving him to drink, saying, 'Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to take him down.'

Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus.
