And all who heard it, marvelled at the things told them by the shepherds.

though she was now a widow, of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, attending the divine service, with fastings and prayers night and day:

and at the very same moment coming up, she also in turn confessed the Lord, and spake of him to all who were expecting redemption in Jerusalem.

And all who heard him, were in a transport of admiration, at his understanding and answers.

He said, therefore, to the multitudes who came out to be baptised by him, Ye broods of vipers, who hath warned you to fly from the approaching wrath?

And rolling up the volume, he gave it to the attendant officer, and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were attentively fixed on him.

And there was in the synagogue a man, who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he roared out with a great cry,

saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus the Nazarean? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.

So when the sun was set, all who had any indisposed with various diseases, brought them to him; and laying his hands severally on each of them, he cured them.

For amazement had seized on him, and on all who were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had taken:

as also on James and John the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not: henceforward thou shalt catch men.

And on a certain day it happened that he was teaching, and there were sitting Pharisees, and doctors of the law, who had come from every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord for healing them was exercised.

And behold, men carried on a couch a man who was a paralytic; and sought to bring him into the house, and to place him before him.

And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?

And Jesus answering said unto them, They who are well, have no need of a physician: but they who have illness.

And Jesus answering said to them; Have ye never read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him?

how he entered into the house of God, and took the loaves of shew-bread, and did eat, and gave also to those who were with him; which it was not lawful for any to eat, but the priests alone?

Now he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand in the midst. And he arose, and stood up.

And when it was day, he called his disciples to him; and elected from them twelve, whom he named Apostles:

Simon, whom he also called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Jude the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.

And coming down with them, he stood on a level spot: and the crowd of his disciples, and a vast multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

and they who were disturbed with unclean spirits: and they were cured.

Blessed are ye who hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.

But wo unto you who are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

Wo unto you who are full! for ye shall hunger. Wo unto you who laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.

But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you;

bless those who curse you, and pray for those who wantonly insult you.

To him that smiteth thee on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who would take from thee thy cloak, withhold not thy coat also.

And give to every one that asketh thee; and from him who would take thy goods, demand them not again.

And if ye love them that love you, what thanks are due to you? for even sinners love those who love them.

And if ye do good to them who do good to you, what thanks have ye? do not even sinners the same thing?

And if ye lend to those, from whom ye hope to receive back again, what thanks are due to you? for sinners lend to sinners, that they may receive an equivalent.

The disciple is not above his teacher; but every one who is completely taught shall be as his master.

Every one who cometh to me, and heareth my words, and puts them in practice, I will shew you to whom he is like:

he is like to a man, building a house, who digged, and sunk deep, and laid the foundation on a rock; and when there was a flood, the river rushed violently against that house, and was not of force to shake it, for it was founded on a rock.

But he that heareth, and doth not practice, is like a man who built his house on the earth without a foundation; against which the river rushed violently, and immediately it fell; and the crash of the fall of that house was great.

And the servant of a certain centurion, who was very valuable to him, being seized with an illness, was ready to die.

And when they came to Jesus, they entreated him importunately, saying, He is a worthy man on whom thou wilt confer this favour:

And, behold, a certain woman in the city, who was a notorious offender, when she knew that Jesus was sitting at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster vessel of odoriferous balm,

And when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said within himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what kind of a woman this is that toucheth him; for she is a notorious sinner.

And Simon answering said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly.

For which cause, I tell thee, her many sins are forgiven, for she hath loved much: but to whom a little is forgiven, he loveth little.

And they who sat at table with him began to say in themselves, Who is this, who even forgives sins?

And certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and sicknesses, Mary called Magdalene, from whom seven devils had gone out.

And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's lieutenant-governor, and Susanna, and many others, who ministred to his support out of their possessions.

Now when a vast multitude was collected, even those who came to him out of every city, he spake by a parable.

And they on the rock, are such as when they have heard, with joy embrace the word; and these have not root, who for a time believe, and in a season of trial apostasize.

But that on the good ground are they who having heard the word, retain it in a heart excellent and good, and bring forth fruit with patience.

No man lighting a lamp hides it with a cover, or putteth it under a bed, but on a stand, that they who are coming in, may see the light.

Then he answered and said to them, My mother and my brethren are they, who hear the word of God, and practise it.

And as he landed, there met him a certain man from the city, who had devils for a long while, and kept no clothes on him, and never abode in a house, but in the tombs.

But when those who fed them saw what was done they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country places.

And they came out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man sitting, from whom the devils were gone out, clothed, and in his sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.

Then they also who had seen how the demoniac was recovered, told them.

And the man out of whom the devils had gone, besought him to be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying,

And a woman, who had a flux of blood, for twelve years, who had spent all her substance on physicians, and could not get a cure from any;

And Jesus said, Who touched me? And when all denied, Peter, and those who were with him, said, Master, the multitudes throng and press thee, and sayest thou, Who hath touched me?

And Herod said, John I beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.

But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure.

And it came to pass, as he had been praying in retirement, his disciples were with him, and he asked them, Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And he said to them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering said, The Messiah of God.

And I tell you of a certainty, there are some of those who stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God.

And, lo! two men conversed with him, who were Moses and Elias:

who appeared in glory, and mentioned his departure, which he was ready to accomplish at Jerusalem.

But Peter and they who were with him were weighed down with sleep: but when they awoke, they beheld his glory, and the two men who were standing with them.

and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me: for he who is the least among you all, he shall be great.

All things are given up to me by my Father: and no man knoweth who is the Son, but the Father; and who is the Father, but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son is pleased to reveal him.

Then he, desirous to make himself appear a righteous person, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?

Then Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who, when they had both stripped him, and covered him with wounds, got off, leaving him half dead.

Which then of these three do you suppose to be the neighbour of him who fell into the robbers' hands?

And she had a sister called Mary, who sitting down also at the feet of Jesus, hearkened to his discourse.

and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one who is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation; but deliver us from the wicked one.

For every one who asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

If ye then, evil as ye are, know how to give good gifts to your children; how much more shall your Father, who is in heaven, give his Holy Spirit to those who ask him?

Wo unto you, teachers of the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye yourselves enter not in, and those who were entering ye have hindered.

But I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who may kill the body, but after that, have nothing farther which they can do.

But I will point out to you, whom ye should fear: Fear him, who, after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him!

But I tell you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

And every one who shall utter a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but for him who hath blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, there shall be no forgiveness.

But he said to him, Man, who made me a judge and a divider among you?

Just such is every one who heapeth up treasure for self, and is not rich towards God.

Blessed are those servants, whom the Master, when he cometh, shall find watchful: verily I say unto you, that he will gird up himself, and make them sit down at table, and come and wait upon them.

And the Lord said, Who indeed is a faithful steward, and prudent, whom the lord will place over his household, to give them their proportion of provision at the proper season?
