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

And 1o! thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name, Jesus:

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

And, even thou, child, prophet of the Most High, shalt be called, - for thou shall march on before the Lord, to prepare his ways,

Now, dost thou dismiss thy servant, O Sovereign, according to thy declaration - in peace;

Which thou hast prepared in face of all the peoples:

And, thou! through thy very soul, shall pass a sword, that, reasonings, may be revealed, out of many hearts.

And, when they behold him, they were astounded, and his mother said unto him - Child! why, hast thou dealt with us, thus? Lo! thy father and I, in anguish, were seeking thee.

and the Holy Spirit descended, in bodily appearance, as a dove, upon him, - and, a voice out of heaven, came - Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, in thee, I delight.

And the adversary said to him - If thou art God's, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.

Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.

And, answering, Jesus said to him - It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.

And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, - and said to him- If thou art God's, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;

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

And it came to pass, while he was in one of the cities, that lo! there was a man full of leprosy; and, seeing Jesus, he fell on his face, and entreated him, saying - Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.

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.

And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying - Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this,

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, calling unto him certain two of his disciples, John sent unto the Lord, saying - Art, thou, the Coming One, or, a different one, are we to expect?

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?

Making answer, Simon said - I suppose, that he to whom, the more, he forgave. And, he, said unto him - Rightly, hast thou judged.

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 Jesus questioned him - What name hast thou? And, he, said - Legion! because many demons had entered into him.

And the disciples James and John, seeing it, said - Lord! wilt thou, that we bid fire come down from heaven, and destroy them?

And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him - I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.

And he said unto him - Leave, the dead, to bury their own dead; but, thou, departing, be declaring the kingdom of God.

And, thou, Capernaum, - Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? -- Unto hades, thou shalt be brought down!

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.

And, he, said unto him - In the law, what is written? how dost thou read?

And he said unto him - Rightly, hast thou answered: This, do, and thou shalt live.

And, on the morrow, throwing out two denaries, he gave them to the inn-keeper, and said - Take care of him, and, whatsoever thou shall further spend, I, when on my way back, will duly pay thee.

And, he, said - He who dealt mercifully with him. And Jesus said unto him - Be taking thy journey, and, thou, be doing, in like manner.

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:

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!

And, making answer, one of the Lawyers saith unto him, Teacher! these things, saying, us also, dost thou insult!

and will say to my soul - Soul! thou hast many good things lying by for many years: be taking thy rest, eat, drink,be making merry!

But God said unto him - Simple one! on this very night, they are asking, thy soul, from thee; The things, then, which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

But Peter said - Lord! unto us, this parable, speakest thou? or, even unto all?

For, as thou art going along with thine adversary unto a ruler, on the way, take pains to get a release from him; lest once he drag thee along unto the judge, and, the judge, deliver thee up to the punisher, - and, the punisher, cast thee into prison:

I tell thee - In nowise shalt thou come out from thence, until, even the last fraction, thou pay!

and if it may bear fruit for the future; -- but, otherwise, certainly, thou shalt cut it down.

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

Then, will ye begin to say - We did eat and drink in thy presence, and, in our broadways, thou didst, teach;

Whensoever thou hast been invited by anyone unto a marriage feast, do not recline on the first couch; lest once, a more honourable than thou, have been invited by him,

and he that invited both thee and him should come, and say unto thee - Give, unto this one, place! and, then, thou shouldst begin, with shame, the last place, to occupy.

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.

Moreover he went on to say, unto him also who had invited him, - Whensoever thou mayest be making a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, or thy brothers, or thy kinsfolk, or rich neighbours, - lest once, they also, invite thee in return, and it become a recompense unto thee.

But, whensoever, an entertainment, thou mayest be making, invite the destitute, the tried, the lame, the blind;

and, happy, shalt thou be, that they have not wherewith to recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed unto thee, in the resurrection of the righteous.

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.

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

But, he, answering said unto his father - Lo! so many years as these, do I serve thee, and, at no time, a commandment of thine, have I transgressed, - And, unto me, at no time, hast thou given a kid, that, with my friends, I might make merry;

But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

But, he, said unto him - Child! thou, always, art, with me, and, all that is mine, is, thine;

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.

And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, - How much owest thou my lord?

After that, unto another, he said - And how much owest, thou? And, he, said - A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him - Kindly take thine accounts, and write - Eighty!

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.

But he said - I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father's house, -

Even if, seven times a day, he sin against thee, and, seven times, turn to thee, saying, I repent, thou shalt forgive him.

on the contrary, will not say to him - Make somewhat ready, that I may dine, - and, girding thyself, be ministering unto me, until I have eaten and drunk; and, after these things, thou, shalt eat and drink?

But Jesus said to him - Why, callest thou me, good? None, is good, save one - God.

The commandments, thou knowest: - Do not commit adultery, Do not commit murder, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, - Honour thy father and mother,

And Jesus, hearing, said unto him - Yet one thing, unto thee, is lacking: Whatsoever thou hast, sell, and distribute unto the destitute, - and thou shalt have treasure in theheavens; and come! be following me.

What desirest thou, I should do unto thee? And, he, said - Lord! -- that I may recover sight!

And he said to him - Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities.

And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.

For I was afraid of thee, because, a harsh man, thou art, - Thou takest up, what thou layedst not down, and reapest, what thou sowedst not!

He saith to him - Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, - taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;

Wherefore, then, didst thou not place my silver upon a money-changer'stable, and, I, when I came, with interest might have exacted it?

If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace -- But, now, are they hid from thine eyes:

And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.

and spake, saying, unto him - Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.

And they questioned him, saying - Teacher! we know that, rightly, thou speakest and teachest, and respectest no person, but, in truth, the way of God, dost teach:

And certain of the Scribes, answering, said - Teacher! Well, hast thou spoken.

For, David himself, saith, in the book of Psalms: Said the Lord, unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand,

And, they, said unto him - Where wiliest thou, we should make ready?

But, I, have entreated for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And, thou, once thou hast turned, strengthen thy brethren.

And, he, said: I tell thee, Peter - A cock will not crow this day, until, thrice, thou deny that thou knowest me.

saying - Father! if thou please, bear aside this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be accomplished.

But, Jesus, said to him - Judas! with a kiss, the Son of Man, dost thou deliver up?

And, after a little, another, beholding him, said - Thou also, art, from among them. But, Peter, said - Man! I am not.

But Peter said - Man! I know not what thou art saying! And, instantly while yet he was speaking, a cock crew.

And the Lord turned, and looked at Peter; and Peter was put in mind of the declaration of the Lord, how he had said to him - Before, a cock, crow this day, thou wilt deny me thrice!

And, when it became day, the Eldership of the people was gathered together - both High-priests and Scribes, - and they led him away into their high-council, saying - If, thou, art the Christ, tell us!

And they all said - Thou, then, art the Son of God? And, he, unto them said - Ye, say it , - because, I, am.

And, Pilate, questioned him, saying - Art, thou, the king of the Jews? And, he, answering him, said - Thou, sayest.

and saying - If, thou, art the King of the Jews, save thyself.
