it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus:

Now they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and righteous appointments of the Lord, blameless;

and, all the throng of the people, was praying outside, at the hour of the incense offering.

the same, shall be great, and, Son of the Most High, shall be called, and the Lord God, will give unto him, the throne of David his father, -

Because he hath looked upon the humbling of his handmaid; for lo! from the present time, all the generations, will pronounce me happy.

And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying - John, is his name! and they marvelled all.

And fear came upon all the neighbours themselves; and, throughout all the hill-country of Judaea, were all these matters being much talked of;

and all who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying - What then shall his child be? for, even the hand of the Lord, was with him.

Of salvation from among our foes, and out of the hand of all them that hate us:

in lovingkindness and righteousness before him, all our days.

Now it came to pass, in those days, that there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, for all the inhabited earth to be enrolled:

this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:

and all were journeying to be enrolled, each one unto his own city.

And it came to pass, while they were there, that the days were fulfilled for her to give birth;

And the messenger said unto them - Be not afraid! For lo! I bring you good tidings of a great joy, the which shall be for all the people:

And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;

but, Mary, was closely observing, all, these things, putting them together in her heart.

And the shepherds returned, giving glory and singing praise unto God, over all things which they had heard and seen, according as it had been told unto them.

Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:

and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

And, when they had finished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, into their own city, Nazareth.

Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his answers.

And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was submitting himself unto them. And, his mother, was closely observing all these things in her heart.

and he came into all the country about the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of repentance into remission of sins:

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Now, as the people were in expectation, and all were deliberating in their hearts, concerning John, - whether by any means, he, might be, the Christ,

John answered, saying unto all - I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, - he, will immerse you m Holy Spirit and fire:

whose fan is in his hand, to clear out his threshing-floor, and to gather the wheat into his granary; but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

But, Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias, the wife of his brother, and concerning all the wicked things Herod had done,

added this also unto all, - he locked up John in prison.

Now it came to pass, when one and all the people were immersed, Jesus also, having been immersed, and being at prayer, heaven was opened;

And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.

And the adversary said to him - Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:

Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.

for it is written - Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee, -

And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.

And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee; and, a report, went out along the whole of the region, concerning him;

and, he, began teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

And, folding up the scroll, he handed it to the attendant, and sat down; and, the eyes of all, in the synagogue, were intently fixed upon him;

And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying - Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?

And he said unto them - By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, - Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.

And, of a truth, I say unto you - Many widows, were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when there came a great famine upon all the land;

And all were filled with wrath, in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

And amazement came upon all, and they began to converse one with another, saying - What is this word, that, with authority and power, he giveth orders unto the impure spirits, and they go forth?

But, as the sun was going in, they one and all, as many as had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him; and, he, upon each one of them laying, his hands, was curing them.

And it came to pass, while the multitude was pressing upon him, and was hearing the word of God, that, he, was standing near the lake of Gennesaret;

And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets.

For, amazement, overcame him, and all them who were with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they had taken;

And, bringing the boats down on to the land, they left all, and followed him.

And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, that lo! there was a man full of leprosy; and, seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and entreated him, saying - Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.

And, astonishment, seized one and all, and they began glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying - We have seen unaccountable things, to-day!

And, forsaking all, he arose, and was following him.

And, answering, Jesus said unto them - No need, have, the whole, of a physician, but, they who are sick.

Jesus, however, said unto them - Can, ye make, the sons of the bridechamber, fast, while the bridegroom is with them?

But there will come days, even when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then, will they fast, in those days.

Moreover, he went on to speak, a parable also, unto them - No one, rending a patch from a new mantle, patcheth it upon an old mantle; otherwise, at least, both, the new, he will rend, and, with the old, the patch which is from the new, will not agree.

And, no one, poureth new wine into old skins; otherwise, at least, the new wine, will burst the skins, and will, itself, be poured out, and the skins be destroyed.

And, looking round upon them all, he said unto him - Stretch forth thy hand! and, he, did so, and his hand was restored.

and, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, - and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases;

and, all the multitude, were seeking to touch him, because, power, from him, was coming forth, and healing all.

Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.

Give, and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will they give into your lap; for, with what measure ye mete, shall it be measured back unto you.

He spake, moreover, a parable also, unto them: Can, the blind, guide, the blind? will not, both, fall into, a ditch?

But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?

Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, whom he is like:

He is like unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, - and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.

After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum.

And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.

And fear seized them, all, and they began to glorify God, saying - A great prophet, hath been raised up amongst us! and - God hath visited his people!

And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.

And John's disciples carried tidings unto him concerning all these things.

And, all the people, when they heard, and the tax-collectors, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John;

And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.

they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?

With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, - but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.

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.

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 Jesus said - Who, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter said - Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.

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!

While yet he is speaking, there cometh one from the synagogue ruler's, saying - Thy daughter, is dead: No further, be troubling the teacher.

And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he said - Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.

And, calling together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to be curing, diseases;

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised from the dead;

But he said unto them - Give, ye, them to eat. They, however, said - We have not more than five loaves, and two fishes, - unless perhaps, we, should go, and buy food, for all this people.

And they did so, - and made, one and all, recline.

and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, - of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

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 what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?

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, while he was praying, that, the appearance of his face, was changed, and, his clothing, became white, effulgent.

Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud.

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.

And they were all being struck with astonishment, at the majesty of God. And, while all were marvelling at all things which he was doing, he said unto his disciples:

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.

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

And, yet another, said - I will follow thee, Lord; But, first, suffer me to bid adieu to them that are in my house.

I tell you, for them of Sodom, in that day, more tolerable, will it be, than for that city.

Moreover, for Tyre and Zidon, more tolerable, will it be, in the judgment, than, for you.

Lo! I have given you the authority - to be treading upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and, nothing, unto you, shall in anywise do harm;
