the angel, upon his arrival, said to her; "Hail, favorite of heaven, the Lord is with thee: thou happiest of thy sex."

Lord, thou wilt grant thy servant a happy death, according to thy promise.

whom thou hast provided for all mankind, a light to lighten the Gentiles,

and the holy spirit descended upon him in a corporeal form like a dove. and a voice came from heaven, which said, thou art my beloved son, in thee I am well pleased.

but Jesus answered him, avant, satan, for it is written, "thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

but Jesus replied, it is said, "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

then Jesus stretch'd out his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou cured. and immediately the leprosy disappear'd:

and thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to the sky, shall be plung'd into an abyss.

At that very time Jesus fell into a divine transport, and said, "I magnify thee, O father, the Lord of heaven and earth, for having conceal'd these things from the artful and the crafty, whilst thou hast reveal'd them to the unskilful. justly, O father, hast thou thus dispens'd thy favour."

he replied, 'tis thus, "thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength, and with all thy understanding; and thy neighbour as thy self."

but God said to him, thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee: who then shall enjoy what thou hast provided?

to which Jesus replied, thou hypocrite, who is there among you that scruples to untie his ox or his ass, and lead him from the stall to water on the sabbath-day?

if your faith improv'd like a grain of mustard-seed, you might say to this sycamine-tree, be thou rooted up, and planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

in these words, "O that thou hadst consider'd, at least in this very day, the opportunity you had of being happy! but now alas! it is vanish'd from your eyes."

then said they all, art thou then the son of God? you are in the right, answer'd he, for I am so.

then Pilate ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answer'd him, 'tis as you say.

saying, if thou art the king of the Jews, save thy self.

Now one of the malefactors, that was crucified with him, impiously said, if thou art the Christ, save thy self, and us.

but the other answered, and thus reprov'd him, art thou under no awe of God, thou that art condemned to the same punishment?

Jesus answer'd, verily I tell you, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
