according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us,

And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!

And his mercy is unto generations and generations, to them who revere him;

And they said unto her - There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name!

and all who heard laid them up in their hearts, saying - What then shall his child be? for, even the hand of the Lord, was with him.

To shine on them who, in the darkness and shade of death, are sitting, to guide our feet into a way of peace.

to enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she being with child.

That there hath been born unto you, this day, a saviour, - Who is Christ the Lord - in the city of David!

And, all who heard, marvelled concerning the things which had been told by the shepherds unto them;

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, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

Now all who heard him were beside themselves, because of his understanding and his answers.

He was saying, therefore, unto the multitudes who were going forth to be immersed by him - Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to flee from the coming wrath?

Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, - The Holy One of God.

For, amazement, overcame him, and all them who were with him, on account of the draught of the fishes which they had taken;

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 it came to pass, on one of the days, that, he, was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees and Teachers of the law, who had come out of every village of Galilee and Judaea and Jerusalem; and, the power of the Lord, was there, that he might heal.

And lo! men bearing, upon a couch, one who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in, and lay him before him.

And the Scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying - Who is this that speaketh profanities? Who can forgive, sins, save, God alone?

And Levi made a great reception for him, in his house, and there was a great multitude of tax-collectors, and others, - who were with them reclining.

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

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?

But, he, knew their reasonings, and said to the man who had the, withered, hand - Arise, and stand forward in the midst! And, arising, he stood forward.

And, when it became day, he called his disciples, and chose from them, twelve, whom also he named, Apostles, -

Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew hie brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

and Matthew and Thomas; and James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was called Zealot; and Judas, son of James,

and Judas Iscariot, who became betrayer; -

and, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, - and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases;

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

Alas! for you, ye who are filled full now, for ye shall hunger. Alas! ye that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

But, unto you, I say, who are hearkening: Be loving your enemies; be doing, good, unto them that hate you;

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:

And, if ye lend to them from whom ye are hoping to receive, what sort of thanks are there for you? Even sinners, unto sinners, do lend, that they may receive back, as much.

Every one coming unto me, and hearkening unto my words, and doing them, I will suggest to you, whom he is like:

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.

And, a certain centurion's servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, - who was, by him, highly prized.

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

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

But what went ye forth to see? A man, in soft garments, arrayed? Lo! they who in splendid apparel and luxury are found, are, in the kingly courts.

This, is he concerning whom it is written - Lo! I am sending forth my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

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.

And, 1o! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,

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.

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

For which cause, I say unto thee - Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.

And they who were reclining together, began to be saying within themselves - Who is, this, that, even forgiveth sins?

and certain women, who had been cured from evil spirits and infirmities, - Mary, the one called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone forth,

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, those beside the pathway, are they who have heard; afterwards, cometh the adversary, and catcheth away the word from their heart, lest, believing, they should, be saved.

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.

But, that in the good ground, these, are they who, indeed, in a noble and good heart having heard the word, hold fast, and bear fruit with endurance.

And, no one having lit a lamp, covereth it up with a vessel, or, beneath a couch, putteth it; but, upon a lamp-stand, putteth it, that, they who come in, may see the light.

But, he, answering, said unto them - My mother and my brethren, are, these - they who, the word of God, are hearing and doing.

And he said unto them - Where was your faith? But, struck with fear, they marvelled, saying one to another - Who then is, this, - that, even unto the winds, he giveth orders, and unto the water, and they hearken unto him.

And they who had been feeding them, seeing what had happened, fled, and carried tidings into the city, and into the country-places.

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 they who had seen it, reported unto them, how the demonized man was saved.

And the man from whom the demons had gone forth, began to beg of him, that he might be with him; but he dismissed him, saying -

And, a woman, with a flow of blood of twelve years standing, who indeed could, from no one, be cured,

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.

But Herod said - John, I myself, beheaded; but, who is this, concerning whom I am hearing such things as these? And he was seeking to see him.

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 he said to them - But who say, ye, that I am? And, Peter, answering, said - The Christ of God!

For what doth a man profit, who hath gained the whole world, but hath lost, or been made to forfeit, himself?

But I tell you of a truth - There, are, some of those, here, standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God.

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.

But there entered a reasoning among them, as to who of them should be greatest.

and said unto them - Whosoever shall give welcome unto this child, on my name, unto me, giveth welcome; and, whosoever, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome unto him that sent me forth. For, he who is least among you all, the same, is, great.

All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, knoweth, who the Son is, save the Father, - and who the Father is, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son may be minded to reveal him.

But, he, wishing to justify himself, said unto Jesus - And, who is, my, neighbour?

And taking up the question , Jesus said - A certain man, was going down from Jerusalem unto Jericho, and, with robbers, fell in, - who, stripping him, and inflicting, wounds, upon him, departed, leaving him, half dead.

Which of these three, seemeth unto thee to have become, neighbour, unto him who fell among the robbers?

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.

And, she, had a sister, called Mary, who also, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.

And he said unto them - Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him - Friend! supply me with three loaves,

But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent?

Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion?

But, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, your judges.

But, he, said - Yea rather! - Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!

No one, having lighted, a lamp, into a covered place, a putteth it, nor, under the measure; but upon the lampstand, that they who enter may see, the light.

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

From the blood of Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah who was destroyed betwixt the altar and the house; Yea! I say unto you - It shall be sought out from this generation.

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

And I say unto you, my friends - Do not be put in fear of them who kill the body, and, after these things, have nothing more uncommon which they can do.

But I will suggest to you, whom ye should fear - Fear him who, after killing, hath authority to cast into gehenna, - Yea, I say unto you - Him, fear ye.

But, he who denied me before men, shall be denied before the messengers of God.

And, whosoever shall say a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but, unto him who, against the Holy Spirit, speaketh profanely, it shall not be forgiven.

But, he, said unto him - Man! who hath appointed me a judge or divider over you?

And, who from among you, though anxious, can, unto his stature, add a cubit?

Happy those servants, whom the lord, when he cometh, shall find watching! Verily, I say unto you - he will gird himself, and make them recline, and, coming near, will minister unto them.

And the Lord said - Who then is the faithful steward, the prudent one, whom the lord will appoint over his body of attendants, to be giving, in due season, the measured allowance of wheat?

Happy, that servant, whom the lord, when he cometh shall find doing, thus!

And, that servant, who had come to know the will of his lord, and neither prepared, nor wrought unto his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;

Whereas, he who had not come to know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And, every one to whom was given much, much, shall be sought from him; and, he to whom they committed much, for more than common, will they ask him.

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?
