it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble Theophilus,

and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless,

and all the multitude of the people were praying without, at the hour of the perfume.

Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, 'John is his name;' and they did all wonder;

And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of,

and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying, 'What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was with him.

Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all hating us,

To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all the days of our life.

And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled --

and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city,

And the messenger said to them, 'Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among men -- good will.'

And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken by the shepherds unto them;

and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her heart;

and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God, for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto them.

which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the peoples,

and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

And when they finished all things, according to the Law of the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth;

and all those hearing him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these sayings in her heart,

and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'

And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the Christ;

John answered, saying to all, 'I indeed with water do baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire;

whose winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod did,

added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison.

And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised, Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened,

the son of Eli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph,

And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

and the Devil said to him, 'To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;

thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me -- all shall be thine.'

for it hath been written -- To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,

And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.

And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,

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

And having folded the roll, having given it back to the officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing on him.

and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, 'Is not this the son of Joseph?'

And he said unto them, 'Certainly ye will say to me this simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;'

and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years and six months, when great famine came on all the land,

And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing these things,

and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together, with one another, saying, 'What is this word, that with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits, and they come forth?'

And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he on each one of them his hands having put, did heal them.

and Simon answering said to him, 'Master, through the whole night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy saying I will let down the net.'

for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the draught of the fishes that they took,

and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having left all, did follow him.

And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities, that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen on his face, he besought him, saying, 'Sir, if thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;'

and having stretched forth his hand, he touched him, having said, 'I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the leprosy went away from him.

and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God, and were filled with fear, saying -- 'We saw strange things to-day.'

and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him.

And Jesus answering said unto them, 'They who are well have no need of a physician, but they that are ill:

but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken away from them, then they shall fast in those days.'

'And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed;

and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

Then said Jesus unto them, 'I will question you something: Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life to save or to kill?'

And having looked round on them all, he said to the man, 'Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

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

Woe to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.

'But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words, and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like;

And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the people, he went into Capernaum;

and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to die, who was much valued by him,

and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God, saying -- 'A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- 'God did look upon His people.'

And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him, and in all the region around.

And the disciples of John told him about all these things,

And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

and the wisdom was justified from all her children.'

and they not having wherewith to give back, he forgave both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?'

with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with ointment did anoint my feet;

And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes round about asked him to go away from them, because with great fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat, did turn back.

'Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming how great things Jesus did to him.

And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the multitude received him, for they were all looking for him,

and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years, who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to be healed by any,

And Jesus said, 'Who is it that touched me?' and all denying, Peter and those with him said, 'Master, the multitudes press thee, and throng thee, and thou dost say, Who is it that touched me!'

And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling, came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched him declared to him before all the people, and how she was healed presently;

While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one from the chief of the synagogue's house, saying to him -- 'Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;'

and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her, and he said, 'Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep;

and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold of her hand, called, saying, 'Child, arise;'

And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure sicknesses,

And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that John hath been raised out of the dead;

And he said unto them, 'Give ye them to eat;' and they said, 'We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes: except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;'

and they did so, and made all to recline;

and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And he said unto all, 'If any one doth will to come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me;

for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it;

for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost or having forfeited himself?

And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall be great.'

And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a certain one said unto him, 'I will follow thee wherever thou mayest go, sir;'

And another also said, 'I will follow thee, sir, but first permit me to take leave of those in my house;'

lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him.'

And he answering said, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'

and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

And he said to them, 'When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come; Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth;

'I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth need;

And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he instead of a fish, a serpent present to him?
