and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals;

and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

saying, 'Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.'

And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,

and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'

And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, 'They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.'

how he went into the house of God, (at 'Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?'

And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he willed, and they went away to him;

and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they come into a house.

and the scribes who are from Jerusalem having come down, said -- 'He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- 'By the ruler of the demons he doth cast out the demons.'

And he answered them, saying, 'Who is my mother, or my brethren?'

And he said to them, 'He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.'

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;

He who is sowing doth sow the word;

'And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately with joy do receive it,

'And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these are they who are hearing the word,

'And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.'

And he said to them, 'Take heed what ye hear; in what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who hear it shall be added;

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?'

And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, 'Who did touch my garments?'

and his disciples said to him, 'Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, 'Who did touch me!'

And he was looking round to see her who did this,

And Herod having heard, said -- 'He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

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 Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, 'Who do men say me to be?'

And he saith to them, 'And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'

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.'

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

'Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me, but Him who sent me.'

And John did answer him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw a certain one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.'

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;

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

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto themselves, 'And who is able to be saved?'

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',

who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

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

but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, 'Ye have known that they who are considered to rule the nations do exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise authority upon them;

And those going before and those following were crying out, saying, 'Hosanna! blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord;

'And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the heavens may forgive you your trespasses;

and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in the heavens forgive your trespasses.'

and they say to him, 'By what authority dost thou these things? and who gave thee this authority that these things thou mayest do?'

And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

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 he was saying to them in his teaching, 'Beware of the scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations in the market-places,

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

'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.

and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved.

and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things behind, to take up his garment.

and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to Himself, He did shorten the days.

And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known -- not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the Son -- except the Father.

as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work, did command also the porter that he may watch;

and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, 'Verily I say to you -- one of you, who is eating with me -- shall deliver me up.'

And he answering said to them, 'One of the twelve who is dipping with me in the dish;

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 were it to him if that man had not been born.'

rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come nigh.'

and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, 'Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'

and he began to anathematize, and to swear -- 'I have not known this man of whom ye speak;'

and there was one named Barabbas, bound with those making insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed murder.

And Pilate answering, again said to them, 'What, then, will ye that I shall do to him whom ye call king of the Jews?'

and the centurion who was standing over-against him, having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit, said, 'Truly this man was Son of God.'

And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and of Joses, and Salome,

(who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

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.

and they said among themselves, 'Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?'

And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;

she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;

he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.
