And, making answer unto them, Jesus said - Have ye never read, even this, what David did when he hungered, he, and they who were with him -

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?

Now the Scribes and the Pharisees were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he healeth, - that they might find whereof to accuse him.

But, they, were filled with folly, and began conversing one with another, as to, what they might do with Jesus.

and, they who were molested by impure spirits, were being cured;

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

be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.

Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.

And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.

And it came to pass thereafter, that he journeyed unto a city called Nain, and there were journeying with him, his disciples and a great multitude.

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.

Two debtors, there were, to a certain creditor, - the one, owed five hundred denaries, and, the other, fifty.

And it came to pass, in due course, that he was passing through, city by city and village by village, proclaiming, and delivering the glad-message of the kingdom of God, - and, the twelve, were with him;

and Joana, wife of Chuza steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, - who indeed were ministering unto them out of their possessions.

And, seeing that a great multitude were coming together, and they who from every city were journeying forth unto him, he spake through means of a parable: -

And his mother and brethren came near unto him, and were unable to reach him, because of the multitude.

Now, as they were sailing, he fell asleep. And there came down a hurricane of wind upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and to be in peril.

And the demons, going forth from the man entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down the cliff, into the lake, and were choked.

And they went forth to see what had happened; and came unto Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone forth, sitting, clothed, and of sound mind, near the feet of Jesus, - and they were struck with fear.

And one and all of the throng of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes, requested him, to depart from them; because, with a great fear, were they oppressed. And, he, entering into a boat, returned.

Now, when Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him back, for they were all expecting him.

because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.

And Jesus said - Who, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter said - Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.

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

And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.

And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.

And they went forth, and were passing through, along the villages, - delivering the glad-message, and effecting cures in every direction.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised from the dead;

For there were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples - Make them recline, in companies of about fifty each.

and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, - of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And, it came to pass, when he was praying in solitude, the disciples, were with him. And he questioned them, saying - Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, -

who, appearing in glory, were speaking as to his departure, which he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem.

Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

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.

Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud.

And they were all being struck with astonishment, at the majesty of God. And, while all were marvelling at all things which he was doing, he said unto his disciples:

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.

And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;

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

And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed him into her house.

and, others, putting him to the test, a sign out of heaven, were seeking from him.

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.

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

Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first - Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.

Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?

And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.

And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, - observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them -

And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them -

But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;

and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.

Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.

The law and the prophets, were until John, - from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.

Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say - Unprofitable servants, are we, - What we were bound to do, we have done!

And, beholding, he said unto them - Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.
