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;

And lo! thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak until the day when these things shall come to pass; because thou didst not believe in my words, - the which shall be fulfilled for their season.

and when he came forth he was not able to speak unto them, and they perceived that, a vision, he had seen in the Temple, - and, he, continued making signs unto them, and remained dumb.

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

But Mary said unto the messenger - How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?

And there were, shepherds, in the same country, dwelling in the fields, and keeping the watches of the night over their flock.

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 it had been intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.

and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty-four years, - who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; -

and completed the days, and then were returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, - and his parents noticed it not;

and, not finding him, returned unto Jerusalem, seeking him.

And he said unto them - Why was it that ye were seeking me? Perceived ye not, that, in the courts of my Father, I must needs be?

And, they, understood not the thing which he spake to them.

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.

And, already, even the axe, unto the root of the trees is being laid; every tree, therefore, not bringing forth goodfruit, is to be hewn down, and, into fire, to be cast.

John answered, saying unto all - I, indeed, in water, am immersing you, but he that is mightier than I, cometh, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose, - he, will immerse you m Holy Spirit and fire:

And Jesus made answer unto him - It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.

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

And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying - Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?

And, many lepers, were in Israel, in the time of Elisha the prophet, and, not one of them, was cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.

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.

And, when it was day, going forth, he journeyed into a desert place; and, the multitudes, were seeking after him, and they came unto him, and would have detained him, that he might not depart from them.

And Simon, answering, said - Master! although through the whole night we toiled, we took, nothing; howbeit, at thy bidding, I will let down the nets.

likewise also, both James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon - Do not fear! henceforth, shall thou be taking, men, that they may, live.

And, not finding by what means they might bring him in, because of the multitude, going up on the house-top, through the tiling, let they him down, with the little-couch, into the midst before Jesus.

And Jesus, taking note of their reasonings, answering, said unto them - Why are ye reasoning in your hearts?

And, answering, Jesus said unto them - No need, have, the whole, of a physician, but, they who are sick.

I have not come to call, righteous, men, but, sinners, unto repentance.

Moreover, he went on to speak, a parable also, unto them - No one, rending a patch from a new mantle, patcheth it upon an old mantle; otherwise, at least, both, the new, he will rend, and, with the old, the patch which is from the new, will not agree.

But, certain of the Pharisees, said - Why are ye doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?

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 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.

To him who is smiting thee upon the one cheek, be offering, the other also; and, from him who is taking away thy mantle, thy tunic also, do not forbid:

To every one asking thee, give, and, from him that taketh away thy possessions, ask them not back.

And do not judge, and in nowise shall ye be judged; and do not condemn, and in nowise shall ye be condemned; release, and ye shall be released;

He spake, moreover, a parable also, unto them: Can, the blind, guide, the blind? will not, both, fall into, a ditch?

A disciple is not above the teacher; but, when trained, every one shall be as his teacher.

But why beholdest thou the mote that is in the eye of thy brother, while, the beam that is in thine own eye, thou dost not consider?

How canst thou say to thy brother - Brother! let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, - thyself, the beam in thine own eye, not beholding? Hypocrite! cast out, first, the beam out of thine own eye, and, then, shalt thou see clearly, to cast out, the mote that is in the eye of thy brother.

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

For, every tree, by its own fruit, becometh known. For not, of thorns, do they gather figs, neither, of a bramble-bush, do they gather, a bunch of grapes.

And why call ye me, Lord! Lord! and not do the things that I say?

He is like unto a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and laid a foundation upon the rock, - and, a flood, coming, the stream burst against that house, and was not strong enough to shake it, because it had been, well, built.

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, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him - Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter.

And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said - I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!

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

And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find occasion of stumbling in me!

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

They are like unto the children sitting, in a market-place, and calling one to another, who say - We played the flute for you, and ye danced not, We wailed, and ye wept not.

But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.

they not having wherewith to pay, he forgave, both. Which of them, therefore, will love him, more?

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.

And, other, fell down upon the rock; and, growing, was withered, because it had not moisture.

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.

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.

And, that which in among the thorns fell, these, are they who have heard; and, by anxieties and wealth and pleasures of life being borne along, are choked up, and bear not to perfection.

For there is no secret, which shall not be made, manifest; neither a hidden thing, which shall in anywise not be made known, or not come, where it can be seen.

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.

And, when he went forth upon the land, there met him a certain man, out of the city, having demons; and, for a considerable time, he had put on no garment, and, in a house, would not abide, but among the tombs.

But, seeing Jesus, he cried out aloud, and fell down before him, and, with a loud voice, said - What have I in common with thee, O Jesus, Son of Godthe Most High? I beg of thee - Do not torment me! -

And they were beseeching him that he would not order them, into the abyss, to depart.

But, Jesus, said - Some one touched me, for, I, took note of power, gone out from me.

And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly!

But, Jesus, hearing, answered him - Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.

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

And, as many soever as shall not welcome you, in going forth from that city, the dust of your feet, shake ye off, for a witness against them.

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,

But he said unto them - Give, ye, them to eat. They, however, said - We have not more than five loaves, and two fishes, - unless perhaps, we, should go, and buy food, for all this people.

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 I begged of thy disciples, that they would cast it out, and they could not.

But, they, understood not this saying, and it had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it, - and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.

But John, answering, said - Master! we saw some one, in thy name, casting out demons, - and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

And Jesus said unto him - Do not forbid; for, whosoever is not against you, is, for you.

And they welcomed him not, because, his face, was for journeying unto Jerusalem.

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.

Be not carrying purse, or satchel, or sandals, and, no one along the road, salute ye;

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.

But, into whatsoever city ye shall enter, and they do not welcome you, going forth into the broadways thereof, say ye:

Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing - that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing - that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!

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.

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.

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.

And forgive us our sins, for, even we ourselves, forgive every one indebted to us; And bring us not into temptation.

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?

I say unto you - Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth.

He that is not with me, is, against me; and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

Whensoever, the impure spirit, goeth out from the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest; and, not finding it, then,it saith, I will return unto my house, whence I came out; -

And, as the multitudes were thronging together, he began to be saying - This generation, is, a wicked generation: A sign, it is seeking, and, a sign, shall not be given it, save the sign of Jonah.

If, therefore, thy whole body, is lighted up, not having any part darkened, the whole, shall be lighted up, as whensoever, the lamp, with its radiance, may be giving thee light.

And, the Pharisee, beholding, marvelled that he was not, first, immersed, before the dinner.

Simple ones! Did not, he who made the outside, the inside also, make?

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.

Alas for you! because ye are as the secret tombs: even the men that are walking above them, know it not.

And, he, said - And, for you, the lawyers, alas! because ye lade men with burdens hard to be borne, and, yourselves, with one of your fingers, touch not the burdens.

Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.

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