and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus;

And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the messenger before his being conceived in the womb.

And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the custom of the law regarding him,

and having finished the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother did not know,

and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in favour with God and men.

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

And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph,

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,

And Jesus answered him, saying, 'It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.'

And Jesus answering him said, 'Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

And Jesus answering said to him -- 'It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

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,

saying, 'Away, what -- to us and to thee, Jesus, O Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.'

And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought;

And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of Jesus, saying, 'Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O lord;'

and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, 'Fear not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;'

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 not having found by what way they may bring him in because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top, through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch, into the midst before Jesus,

And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said unto them, 'What reason ye in your hearts?

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

And Jesus answering said unto them, 'Did ye not read even this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who are with 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 they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him earnestly, saying -- 'He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this,

And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends, saying to him, 'Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that under my roof thou mayest enter;

And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and having turned to the multitude following him, he said, 'I say to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;'

and John having called near a certain two of his disciples, sent unto Jesus, saying, 'Art thou he who is coming, or for another do we look?'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'Having gone on, report to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again, lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are raised, poor have good news proclaimed;

And Jesus answering said unto him, 'Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, 'Teacher, say on.'

and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before him, and with a loud voice, said, 'What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not afflict me!'

And Jesus questioned him, saying, 'What is thy name?' and he said, 'Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,)

and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet of Jesus, and they were afraid;

And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away, saying,

'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 lo, there came a man, whose name is Jairus, and he was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house;

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 Jesus said, 'Some one did touch me, for I knew power having gone forth from me.'

and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, 'Be not afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.'

And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said unto Jesus, 'Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith:

and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and they were silent, and declared to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.

And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

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 Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

and Jesus said unto him, 'Forbid not, for he who is not against us, is for us.'

and Jesus said to him, 'The foxes have holes, and the fowls of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not where he may recline the head.'

and Jesus said to him, 'Suffer the dead to bury their own dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.'

and Jesus said unto him, 'No one having put his hand on a plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.'

In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, 'I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'

and Jesus having taken up the word, said, 'A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving him half dead.

and he said, 'He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, 'Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

And Jesus answering said to her, 'Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

and Jesus answering said to them, 'Think ye that these Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered such things?

and Jesus having seen her, did call her near, and said to her, 'Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'

And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, 'Six days there are in which it behoveth us to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, 'Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?'

and they lifted up the voice, saying, 'Jesus, master, deal kindly with us;'

And Jesus answering said, 'Were not the ten cleansed, and the nine -- where?

and Jesus having called them near, said, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the reign of God;

And Jesus said to him, 'Why me dost thou call good? no one is good, except One -- God;

and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, 'Yet one thing to thee is lacking; all things -- as many as thou hast -- sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, be following me;'

And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said, 'How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of God!

and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by,

and he cried out, saying, 'Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;'

And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him,

And Jesus said to him, 'Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'

and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,

And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'

And Jesus said unto him -- 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

and Jesus said to them, 'Neither do I say to you by what authority I do these things.'

And Jesus answering said to them, 'The sons of this age do marry and are given in marriage,

And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he came nigh to Jesus to kiss him,

and Jesus said to him, 'Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man dost thou deliver up?'

and Jesus answering said, 'Suffer ye thus far,' and having touched his ear, he healed him.

And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- 'As upon a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks?

And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him, beating him;

And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

Pilate again then -- wishing to release Jesus -- called to them,

and he released him who because of sedition and murder hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and Jesus he gave up to their will.

And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the cross, to bear it behind Jesus.

and Jesus having turned unto them, said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for your children;

And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

and he said to Jesus, 'Remember me, lord, when thou mayest come in thy reign;'

and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'

and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, 'Father, to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said, he breathed forth the spirit.

he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus,

and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on with them,

And he said to them, 'What things?' And they said to him, 'The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, 'Peace -- to you;'
