It came to pass, in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, that there was a certain priest, by name Zachariah, of the daily course of Abia; and that he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and, her name, was Elizabeth.

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

And Zachariah said unto the messenger - Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.

and entering in unto her, he said - Joy to thee, favoured one! The Lord, be with thee!

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

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.

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 Mary said - Lo! the handmaid of the Lord! Might it come to pass unto me, according to thy declaration. And the messenger departed from her.

And it came to pass that, as Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leapt in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit, -

and lifted up her voice with loud exclamation, and said - Blessed, art thou among women, and, blessed, is the fruit of thy womb;

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 Mary abode with her about three months, and returned unto her house.

And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.

And they said unto her - There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!

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

and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

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

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; - the same, advanced in many days; having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,

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 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 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, rising up, from the synagogue, he went into the house of Simon. Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was in distress with a great fever; and they made request to him concerning her.

And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.

But the report concerning him the more went abroad, and many multitudes were coming together, to hear, and be getting cured from their infirmities;

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, beholding her, the Lord, was moved with compassion over her, and said to her - Be not weeping!

In that very hour, he cured many from diseases, and plagues, and wicked spirits; and, unto many blind, gave he the favour to see.

And, answering, he said unto them - Go and bear tidings unto John, as to what ye have seen and heard: The blind, are receiving sight, the lame, walk, lepers, are cleansed, and, the deaf, hear, the dead, are raised, the destitute, are told the glad-message;

And yet wisdom hath been justified by all her children.

and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off the tears , and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.

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 .

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.

And he said unto her - Thy sins have been forgiven.

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, those upon the rock, are they who, as soon as they hear, with joy, welcome the word; and, these, not having, root, are they who, for a season, believe, - and, in a season of testing, draw back.

Be taking heed therefore how ye hear; for, whosoever shall have, it shall be given unto him; and, whosoever shall not have, even what he seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.

coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle; and, instantly, was stayed the flow of her blood.

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

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

But, he, grasping her hand, called aloud, saying - O girl! arise!

And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat.

And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.

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.

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 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, in the self-same house, abide ye, eating and drinking such things as they have; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his hire: be not removing from house to house.

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.

For I tell you, Many prophets and kings, have desired to see what, ye, see, and they saw not, and to hear what ye hear, and they heard not.

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

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.

But the Lord, answering, said to her - Martha! Martha! thou art anxious and troubled about many things:

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.

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!

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

The queen of the south, will rise up, in the judgment, with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came out of the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, - and lo! something more than Solomon, here.

Men of Nineveh, will rise up, in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it; because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah, - and lo! something more than Jonah, here.

For, the Holy Spirit, shall teach you, in that very hour, what ye ought to say.

But, of this, be taking note - Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.

Ye, therefore, be getting ready, because, in what hour ye are not thinking, The Son of an cometh!

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.

There shall be divided - Father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter, and daughter against the mother, - mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.

And, seeing her, Jesus called her and said to her - Woman! thou art loosed from thy weakness, -

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

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

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

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 he sent out his servant, at the hour of the supper, to say unto the invited - Be coming! because, even now, is it, ready.

And, going near, the servant reported unto his lord these things. Then, provoked to anger, the master of the house said unto his servant - Go out quickly, into the broadways and streets of the city, - and, the destitute, and tried, and blind, and lame, bring thou in here.

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

And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying - Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.

But coming, to himself, he said - How many hired servants of my father, have bread enough and to spare, whereas, I, with famine, here, am perishing!

And, accosting him, he said unto him - What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.

But Abraham said - Child! remember - That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.

Neither shall they say - Lo, here! or, There. For lo! the kingdom of God, is, among you.

And they will say unto you, Lo there! or, Lo here! Do not depart, and do notpursue.

Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, - lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.

And the Lord said - Hear ye what, the unrighteous judge saith; -

But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.

But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying - This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.

And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.

and the third, took her, - yea, likewise, even the seven; They left no children, and died:

The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.

For, all these, out of their superfluity, have cast in among the gifts, but, she, out of her deficiency, all the living that she had, hath cast in.

As to these things, which ye are looking upon, There will come days, in which there will not be left here, stone upon stone, which will not be taken down.

But, whensoever ye shall hear of wars and revolutions, be not terrified, - for these things, must needs, come to pass first, but, not immediately, is the end.

And, a hair of your head, in nowise shall perish, -

But whensoever ye shall see Jerusalem, encompassed by armies, then, know, that her desolation hath drawn near.

Then they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth, - and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her;

And, when the hour arrived, he reclined, and the apostles with him.

And, they, said - Lord, lo! two swords, here! And, he, said unto them - 'Tis, enough!

Daily, was I with you, in the temple, and yet ye stretched not forth your hands against me! -- But, this, is your hour, and the authority of darkness.

And, about one hour having passed, a certain other, began stoutly to insist, saying - Of a truth, this one also, was with him; for indeed he is, a Galilaean.

And it was already about the sixth hour, and, darkness, came upon the whole land, until the ninth hour, -

And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, - and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,

Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marvelling, he said unto them - Have ye anything to eat, here?
