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;

But it came to pass, as he was doing priestly service in the order of his daily course, before God,

And, many of the Sons of Israel, shall he turn towards the Lord their God;

And the messenger, answering, said unto him - I, am Gabriel, - he that standeth near before God; and have been sent forth to speak unto thee, and to deliver the joyful message unto thee, as touching these things.

Now, in the sixth month, was the messenger Gabriel sent forth from God, into a city of Galilee, the name of which was Nazareth, -

And the messenger said unto her - Do not fear, Mary, for thou hast found favour with God, -

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, -

And answering, the messenger said unto her - The Holy Spirit, shall come upon thee, and, the power of the Most High, shall overshadow thee; wherefore, even that which is to be born, Holy, shall be called, Son of God.

Because no declaration from God, shall be void of power.

And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;

The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;

And his mouth was opened instantly, and his tongue loosed , and he began to speak, blessing, God.

Blessed, be the Lord, the God of Israel! Because he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people,

Because of the yearning compassion of the mercy of our God, wherein shall visit us a day-dawn from on high, -

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, suddenly, there came to be, with the messenger, the throng of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying -

Glory, in the highest, unto God! And, on earth, peace, among men of goodwill.

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.

even he, welcomed it into his arms, and blessed God, and said -

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, the child, went on growing, and waxing strong, becoming filled with wisdom; and, the favour of God, was upon it.

And, Jesus, went on advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.

in the High-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, came a word of God unto John the son, of Zechariah, in rue desert;

And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Bring forth, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to be saying within yourselves, As our father, we have, Abraham; for, I say unto you - God is able, out of these stones, to raise up children unto Abraham.

of Enos, of Seth, - of Adam; of God.

And the adversary said to him - If thou art God's, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.

And, answering, Jesus said to him - It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.

And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, - and said to him- If thou art God's, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;

And Jesus, answering, said to him - It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.

Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, - The Holy One of God.

And demons also were going forth from many; crying aloud, and saying - Thou, art the Son of God. And, rebuking them, he suffered them not be talking; because they knew him to be, The Christ.

But, he, said unto them - To the other cities also, I must needs tell the good-news of the kingdom of God, because, hereunto, was I sent forth.

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 the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying - Who is this that speaketh profanities? Who can forgive, sins, save, God alone?

And, instantly arising before them, he took up that whereon he had been lying, and departed unto his house, glorifying God.

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

How he entered into the house of God, and, the presence-bread, receiving, did eat, and gave to them who were with him, which it is not allowable to eat, save alone, to the priests?

And Jesus said unto them - I ask you, whether it is allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good or to do harm, - life, to save, or, to destroy.

And it came to pass, in these days, that he went forth into the mountain to pray, and was spending the night in the prayer-house of God.

And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: - Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God.

But, unto you, I say, who are hearkening: Be loving your enemies; be doing, good, unto them that hate you;

For, if ye even do good unto them that do good unto you, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, the same, are doing.

But love your enemies, and do good and lend, hoping for, nothing, back; and your reward shall be, great, and ye shall be sons of the Most High, - for, he, is, gracious, unto the ungrateful and wicked.

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.

For a good tree doth not produce worthless fruit, neither again doth, a worthless tree, produce good fruit.

The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth that which is good; and, the wicked man, out of the wicked heart, bringeth forth that which is wicked; for, out of an overflowing of heart, speaketh, his mouth.

Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, - and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.

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!

I say unto you - A greater, among them that are born of women, than John, is there none; but, he that is least in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

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

but, the Pharisees and the lawyers, had set aside, the counsel of God against themselves, not being immersed by him.

And it came to pass, in due course, that he was passing through, city by city and village by village, proclaiming, and delivering the glad-message of the kingdom of God, - and, the twelve, were with him;

And, other, fell into good ground; and, growing, brought forth fruit, a hundredfold. These things, saying, he went on to cry aloud - He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And, he, said - Unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of God; but, unto the rest, in parables, - in order that, seeing, they may not see, and, hearing, they may not understand.

Now the parable, is this - The seed, is, the word of God.

But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance.

But, he, answering, said unto them - My mother and my brethren, are, these - they who, the word of God, are hearing and doing.

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.

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.

and sent them forth, to be proclaiming the kingdom of God, and to be healing;

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 he said to them - But who say, ye, that I am? And, Peter, answering, said - The Christ of God!

But I tell you of a truth - There, are, some of those, here, standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God.

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 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.

And be curing the sick that are, therein, and be saying unto them - The kingdom of God hath drawn nigh upon you.

Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice - The kingdom of God hath drawn near.

And, he, answering, said - Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, out of all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thine intention; and thy neighbour, as thyself?

Of few things, is there need, or, of one; Mary, in fact, hath chosen, the good part, - one which shall not be taken away from her.

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!

But, if, with the finger of God, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless unawares hath come upon you, the kingdom of God.

But, he, said - Yea rather! - Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!

But alas for you, the Pharisees! because ye tithe the mint, and the rue, and every garden herb, and pass by justice, and the love of God. But, these things, it was biding to do, and, those, not to pass by.

For this cause, the Wisdom of God hath said - I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles, - and, some from among them, will they slay, and, some persecute:

Are not, five sparrows, sold for two farthings? and, not one from among them, hath been forgotten before God.

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

But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.

And he said - This, will I do, - I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;

and will say to my soul - Soul! thou hast many good things lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,be making merry!

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?

So, is he that is laying up treasure for himself, and is not rich, towards God.

Consider well the ravens - That they sow nor, neither do they reap, which have neither chamber nor barn, - and, God, feedeth, them! By how much do, ye, excel, the birds?

But, if God thus adorneth, the grass, which is, in a field, to-day, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast, how much rather you, O little-of-faith?

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.

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:

And he said unto the vine-dresser - Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?

and if it may bear fruit for the future; -- but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.

and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.

But the synagogue-ruler, answering, being greatly displeased that, on the Sabbath, Jesus had healed, began saying unto the multitude - Six days, there are, in which men ought to get their work done; On them, therefore, come and be healed, and, not on the day of rest.

He went on to say, therefore - Whereunto, is the kingdom of God, like? And, whereunto, shall I liken it?

And, again, he said - Whereunto, shall I liken the kingdom of God?

There, will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, as soon as ye see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and, yourselves, being thrust forth outside.

And they shall have come from east and west, and from north and south, and be made recline in the kingdom of God.

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

Good, therefore is the salt; but, if, even the salt, become tasteless, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

Thus, I say unto you, there ariseth joy in presence of the messengers of God, over one sinner repenting.
