And Zachariah said unto the messenger - Whereby, shall I know this? for, I, am, aged, and, my wife, advanced in her days.

And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.

But Mary said unto the messenger - How, shall this thing be, seeing that, a man, I know not?

And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; - and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;

And, whence, to me is, this, That the mother of my Lord should come, unto me?

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

this enrolment, first was made while Cyrenius was governor of Syria:

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

And, this, to you is, a sign: Ye shall find a babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger.

And it came to pass, when the messengers had departed from them into heaven, that, the shepherds, began to say one to another - Let us go through forthwith as far as to Bethlehem, and see this thing which hath come to pass, which the Lord hath made known to us.

Now, when they beheld, they made known concerning the thing which had been told them as to this child.

And lo! there was, a man, in Jerusalem, whose name, was Symeon; and, this man, was righteous and devout, awaiting the consolation of Israel, and Holy Spirit was upon him;

And Symeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother - Lo! this one, is being set for the falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign to be spoken against;

added this also unto all, - he locked up John in prison.

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

And the adversary said to him - Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:

and he began to be saying to them - This day, is fulfilled this scripture, in your ears.

And, all, were bearing witness to him, and marvelling at the words of favour which were proceeding out of his mouth; and they were saying - Is not, this, the, son of Joseph?

And he said unto them - By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, - Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.

And amazement came upon all, and they began to converse one with another, saying - What is this word, that, with authority and power, he giveth orders unto the impure spirits, and they go forth?

And, when this they had done, they enclosed a very large number of fishes, and their nets began to break.

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

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 -

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.

For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one - Go! and he goeth, - and to another - Come! and he cometh, - and to my servant - Do this! and he doeth it.

And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said - I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found!

And this report went forth throughout the whole of Judaea, and all the surrounding country.

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.

Unto what, then, shall I liken the men of this generation? And unto what are they like?

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.

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 .

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

But his disciples began to question him - What might, this very, parable be?

Now the parable, is this - The seed, is, the word of God.

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.

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.

But he said unto them - Give, ye, them to eat. They, however, said - We have not more than five loaves, and two fishes, - unless perhaps, we, should go, and buy food, for all this people.

He, however, sternly admonishing them, gave charge that, unto no one, should they be telling this;

And, a voice, came out of the cloud, saying - This, is my Son, the Chosen One: Unto him, be hearkening.

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 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.

And, into whatsoever house ye enter, First, say, Peace to this house!

Even the dust that cleaveth unto us, out of your city, unto our feet, do we wipe off against you; nevertheless, of this, be taking notice - The kingdom of God hath drawn near.

Notwithstanding, in this, be not rejoicing - that, the spirits, unto you submit themselves; but be rejoicing - that, your names, are inscribed in the heavens!

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

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.

For, according as, Jonah, became, unto the Ninevites, a sign, so, shall be, the Son of Man also, unto this generation.

The queen of the south, will rise up, in the judgment, with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came out of the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, - and lo! something more than Solomon, here.

Men of Nineveh, will rise up, in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it; because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah, - and lo! something more than Jonah, here.

For this cause, the Wisdom of God hath said - I will send forth, unto them, prophets and apostles, - and, some from among them, will they slay, and, some persecute:

That the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation, -

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.

And he said - This, will I do, - I will pull down my barns, and, greater ones, build, and gather, there, all my wheat and good things;

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?

And he said unto his disciples - For this cause, I say unto you, - Be not anxious for the life, what ye shall eat, nor yet for yourbody, what ye shall put on;

But, of this, be taking note - Had the householder known, in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not suffered his house, to be digged through.

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

Hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven, ye know how to scan; but, this season, how know ye not to scan;

And he went on to speak this parable: - A certain man had, a fig-tree, planted in his vineyard, and he canto seeking fruit therein, and found none.

And he said unto the vine-dresser - Lo! three years, I come, seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and find none. Cut it down! Why doth it make, even the round useless?

And, he, answering, saith unto him - Sir! let it alone this year also, until such time as I dig about it, and throw in manure, -

But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?

And he said unto them - Go and tell this fox, Lo! I am casting out demons, and, cures, am I finishing, to-day, and to-morrow, -

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.

And, another, said - A wife, have I married, and, for this cause, I cannot come!

saying - This man, began to build, and was not able to finish!

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

And he spake unto them this parable, saying -

Because, this my son, was, dead, and hath come to life again, was lost, and is found. And they began to be making merry.

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

But, to make merry and rejoice, there was need, because, this thy brother - was, dead, and hath come to life again, and was lost, and is found.

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 the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: - Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation.

And, he, calling out, said - Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, - because I am in anguish in this flame.

for I have five brethren; - that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.

Have none been found returning to give glory to God, save this one of another race?

But, first, he must needs suffer, many things, and be rejected by this generation.

Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, - lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.

And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: -

The Pharisee, taking his stand, these things unto himself was praying: O God! I thank thee, that I am not like the rest of men, - extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or, even as this tax-collector;

I tell you - This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

who shall in anywise not receive manifold in this season, and, in the age that is coming, life age-abiding.

And, they, not one of these things, understood, and this saying was hidden from them, and the could not comprehend the things spoken.

And. hearkening unto a multitude moving along, he enquired, what this, might be.

And Jesus said unto him - This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, - for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;

But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying - We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us!

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

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 he began, unto the people, to be speaking this parable: - A man, planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went from home for a long time.

And he, further, sent, a third; but, they, bruising, this one also, thrust him out.

But he husbandmen, seeing him, began to deliberate one with another, saying - This, is, the heir: Let us slay him, that, ours, may be, the inheritance.

But, he, looking at them, said - What, then, is this that is written, - A stone which the builders' rejected, The same, hath become, head of the corner?

And the Scribes and the High-priests sought to thrust on him their hands, in that very hour; and feared the people; for they perceived that, against them, spake he this parable.

And Jesus said unto them - The sons of this age, marry, and are given in marriage, -

and he said - Of a truth, I say unto you - This destitute widow, more than they all, hath cast in;

Alas! for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and anger against this people.

Verily, I say unto you - In nowise shall this generation pass away, until, all things, shall happen:

And he said unto them - I have greatly desired, to eat, this passover, with you before I suffer;

And, accepting a cup, giving thanks, he said - Take this, and divide among yourselves;
