And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart.

Now there was there, a herd of a good many swine, feeding in the mountain; and they besought him, that he would suffer them, into those, to enter; and he suffered them.

And one and all of the throng of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes, requested him, to depart from them; because, with a great fear, were they oppressed. And, he, entering into a boat, returned.

And the man from whom the demons had gone forth, began to beg of him, that he might be with him; but he dismissed him, saying -

Be returning unto thy house, and telling forth what great things, God, for thee, hath done. And he departed, through all the city, proclaiming what great things, Jesus, had done for him.

Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him.

And lo! there came a man, whose name was Jairus, and, the same, was, a ruler of the synagogue, - and, falling down near the feet of Jesus, he began beseeching him to enter into his house;

because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.

And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly!

But, Jesus, hearing, answered him - Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.

And, when he came into the house, he suffered no one to enter with him, save Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl, and the mother.

And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.

But Herod said - John, I myself, beheaded; but, who is this, concerning whom I am hearing such things as these? And he was seeking to see him.

And the Apostles, returning, related to him what great things they had done. And, taking them aside, he retired privately, into a city called Bethsaida.

But, the multitudes, getting to know, followed him; and, giving them welcome, he began speaking unto them concerning the kingdom of God, - and, them that had need of cure, he healed,

And, the day, began to decline; and the twelve, coming near, said to him - Dismiss the multitude, that, going into the surrounding villages and hamlets, they may lodge, and find provisions; because, here, in a desert place, are we.

And, it came to pass, when he was praying in solitude, the disciples, were with him. And he questioned them, saying - Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he was saying, unto all - If any one intendeth after me to come, Let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, - and be following me.

For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, of him, the Son of Man, will be ashamed, whensoever he shall come in his glory, and that of the Father, and of the holy messengers.

And it came to pass, after these words, about eight days, taking with him Peter and John and James, he went up into the mountain to pray.

And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, -

Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

And it came to pass, when they were being parted from him, Peter said unto Jesus - Master! it is, delightful, for us to be, here: Let us, therefore, make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: - not knowing what he said.

And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying - This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.

And it came to pass, on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that there met him a great multitude.

And lo! a spirit, taketh him, and, suddenly, he crieth out, - and it convulseth him - with foaming, and with difficulty departeth from him, sorely bruising him.

And, while yet he was coming, the demon tare him, and mangled him. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

But, they, understood not this saying, and it had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it, - and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.

and said unto them - Whosoever shall give welcome unto this child, on my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome unto him that sent me forth. For, he who is least among you all, the same, is, great.

But John, answering, said - Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, - and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

And Jesus said unto him - Do not forbid; for, whosoever is not against you, is, for you.

And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;

and he sent messengers before his face, - and, taking their journey, they entered into a village of Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

And they welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem.

And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him - I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.

And Jesus said unto him - the foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of heaven, nests; but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head, he may recline.

And he said unto him - Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring the kingdom of God.

But Jesus said unto him - No one, laying the hand on a plough and looking unto the things behind, is, fit, for the kingdom of God.

He that hearkeneth unto you, unto me, doth hearken, and, he that setteth you aside, doth set, me, aside; and, he that setteth, me, aside, doth set aside, him that sent me.

All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father, - and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.

And lo! a certain lawyer, arose, putting him to the test, saying - Teacher! by doing what, shall I inherit, life age-abiding?

And, he, said unto him - In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?

And he said unto him - Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.

And taking up the question , Jesus said - A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, - who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.

And, by chance, a certain priest, was coming down by that road, and, seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.

And, in like manner, a Levite also, coming down to the place, and seeing him, passed by, on the opposite side.

But, a certain Samaritan, going on his journey, came down to him, and, seeing him, was moved with compassion;

and, coming near, bound up his bruises, pouring thereon oil and wine, - and, setting him on his own beast, brought him into an inn, and took care of him.

And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said - Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.

Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?

And, he, said - He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him - Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.

And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed him into her house.

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain place praying, as he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him - Lord! teach us to pray, as, John also, taught his disciples.

And he said unto them - Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him - Friend! supply me with three loaves,

forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can set before him;

I say unto you - Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth.

But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent?

Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion?

If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that ask him!

and, others, putting him to the test, a sign out of heaven, were seeking from him.

But, whensoever, a mightier than he, shall come upon and vanquish him, his panoply, he taketh away, wherein he was trusting, and, his spoils, he distributeth.

Now it came to pass, while he was saying these things, that a certain woman out of the multitude, lifting up her voice, said unto him - Happy the womb that bare thee! And the breasts which thou didst suck!

And, when he had spoken, a Pharisee was requesting him that he would dine with him; and, entering, he reclined.

And the Lord said unto him: Now, ye, the Pharisees, the outside of the cup and of the tray, do make pure; but, your inward part, is full of plunder and wickedness.

And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!

And, when, from thence, he came out, the Scribes and the Pharisees began, with vehemence, to be hemming him in, and trying to make him speak off-hand concerning many things, -

lying in wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.

But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear - Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, - Yea, I say unto you - Him, fear ye.

And I say unto you - Whosoever shall confess me before men, even the Son of Man, will confess him, before the messengers of God;

And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall not be forgiven.

And one from amongst the multitude said unto him - Teacher! bid my brother divide with me the inheritance.

But, he, said unto him - Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?

But God said unto him - Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

And, ye yourselves, like unto men awaiting their own lord, once he may break up out of the marriage-feast, - that, when he cometh and knocketh, straightway, they may open unto him.

Of a truth, I say unto you - Over all his possessions, will he appoint him.

The lord of that servant, will have come - on a day when he is not expecting, and in an hour when he is not taking note, - and will cut him asunder, and, his part, with the unfaithful, will appoint.

Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.

For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, - and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:

Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

And, he, answering, saith unto him - Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, -

The Lord answered him, and said - Hypocrites! Doth not, each one of you, on the Sabbath, loose his ox or ass from the manger, and, leading it away, give it drink?

And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

And one said unto him - Lord! are they, few, who are being saved? And, he, said unto them -

In that very hour, came near certain Pharisees, saying unto him, Go forth, and be journeying hence, because, Herod, desireth to slay thee.

And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.

And lo! there was, a certain man, who had the dropsy, before him.

And taking hold of him he healed and dismissed him, -

and, unto them, said - Which of you, shall have a son or an ox that, into a pit, shall fall, and will not straightway pull him up, on the day of rest?

Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him,

and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee - Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.

Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, - Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, - lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee.

And one of those reclining together, hearing these things, said unto him - Happy, whoever shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!

But, he, said unto him - A certain man, was making a great supper, and invited many;

And they all began, one after another to excuse themselves. The first, said unto him - A field, have I bought, and have need to go out and see it: I request thee, hold me excused.

And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them -

lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at him,

Or, what king, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.

Neither for land nor for manure, is it, fit: outside, they cast it! He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;

And he went his way, and joined himself unto one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to be feeding swine.
