But the messenger said unto him - Do not fear, Zachariah! Inasmuch as thy supplication hath been hearkened to, - and, thy wife Elizabeth, shall bring forth a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name, John;

Thus, for me, hath the Lord wrought, - in the days in which he looked upon me, to take away my reproach among men.

And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; - and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;

And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!

And my spirit hath exulted upon God my saviour;

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

Because he that is mighty hath done for me great things, and, holy, is his name;

He hath wrought strength with his arm, He hath scattered men arrogant in the intention of their heart;

He hath deposed potentates from thrones, and uplifted the lowly;

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

He hath laid hold of Israel his servant, to be mindful of mercies:

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

And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us, In the house of David his servant:

According as he hath spoken by mouth of his holy ancient prophets, -

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

That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, - Who is Christ the Lord - in the city of David!

And it came to pass, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another - Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.

And, answering, he said unto them - He that hath two tunics, let him share with him that hath none, and, he that hath food, in like manner, let him be doing.

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:

The Spirit of the Lord, is upon me, because he hath anointed me - to tell glad tidings unto the destitute; He hath sent me forth, - To proclaim, to captives, a release, and, to the blind, a recovering of sight, - to send away the crushed, with a release;

But, that ye may know that, the Son of Man, hath, authority, upon the earth to forgive sins - he said to the paralyzed man - To thee, I say, Arise, and, taking up thy couch, be going thy way unto thy house.

Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:

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

But, he that hath heard and not done, is like unto a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation, - against which the stream burst, and, straightway, it fell in; and it came to pass, that, the crash of that house, was, great.

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, coming near unto him, the men said - John the Immerser, hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art, thou, the Coming One, or, another, are we to expect?

For John the Immerser hath come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and ye say - A demon, he hath:

The Son of Man hath come, eating and drinking, and ye say - Lo! a man, gluttonous and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-collectors and sinners.

And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.

And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said - Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, - but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off the tears .

A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, - but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.

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

For which cause, I say unto thee - Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.

But he said unto the woman - Thy faith, hath saved thee, - Go thy way into peace.

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.

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, he, said to her - Daughter! thy faith, hath saved thee: Go thy way into peace.

And they, answering, said John the Immerser; But some, Elijah, and others, that, some prophet of the ancients, hath arisen.

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

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 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.

In the self-same hour, exulted he in the Holy Spirit, and said - I openly give praise unto thee, Father! Lord of heaven and earth! in that thou hast hid these things from the wise and discerning, and hast revealed them unto babes, - Yea, O Father! that, so, hath it become, a delight, before thee.

But, Martha, was distracted about much ministering, and, coming near, said - Lord! carest thou not that, my sister, hath left me to be ministering, alone? Speak to her, then, that she help me.

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

and, he, from within, shall answer, and say - Be not disturbing me, - already, the door hath been fastened, and, my children, with me, are, in bed: I cannot rise and give thee?

And, if, even Satan, against himself hath become divided, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye are saying that, in Beelzebul, am I casting out the demons.

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

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:

That the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation, -

But, nothing, hath been, covered up, which shall not be uncovered, and hidden, which shall not be made known.

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.

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

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

Fire, came I to cast upon the earth, - and what can I wish, if, already, it hath been, kindled?

But, whensoever thou hast been invited, pass on and fall back into the last place, that, whensoever he that hath invited thee shall come, he may say unto thee - Friend! come close up, higher. Then, shalt thou have honour before all who are reclining together with thee.

And the servant said - Lord! what thou didst order, hath been done; and, yet, there is, room.

Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.

And, he, said unto him, - Thy brother, hath come, and thy father hath sacrificed the fatted calf, because, safe and sound, hath he received him back.

But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother - was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.

No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.

And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, - so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.

But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him - Straightway, come, and recline; -

Doth he offer thanks unto the servant, because he hath done the things enjoined?

And he said unto him - Arise and go thy way: thy faith, hath saved thee.

And, he, said unto them - Verily, I say unto you - No one, is there, who hath left - house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, - for the sake of the kingdom of God;

And they said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; -

And, if any one question you - Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say - His Lord, hath, need.

And, they, said - His Lord, hath, need.

But, he, looking at them, said - What, then, is this that is written, - A stone which the builders' rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?

Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said - Of Caesar.

and he said - Of a truth, I say unto you - This destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in;

And, certain saying, of the temple - With beautiful stones and offerings, hath it been adorned! he said -

Nay! nor Herod; for he hath sent him back unto you, - and lo! nothing worthy of death, hath been done by him.

But, he, the third time, said unto them - Why! what base thing hath this man done? Nothing worthy of death, found I in him. Chastising him, then, I will release him!

And, we, indeed, justly, - for, things worthy of what we have done, are we duly receiving, but, this man, nothing amiss, hath done.

And they constrained him, saying - Abide with us; because it is, towards evening, and the day hath already declined. And he went in to abide with them.

saying - In truth, the Lord hath arisen, and hath appeared unto Simon!

See my hands, and my feet, - that it is, I, myself: Handle me, and see! because, a spirit, hath not, flesh and bones, as ye perceive, I, have.
