Now the birth, of Jesus Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, - before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.

and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, - and he called his name Jesus.

Now, when, Jesus, was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, lo! wise men from eastern parts, came into Jerusalem:

And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah, - For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.

Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;

Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, - for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.

Now, in those days, came John the Immerser, proclaiming in the wilderness of Judaea;

But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer me even now, - for, thus, it becometh us, to fulfil, all righteousness; then, he suffered him.

But let your word be, Yea, yea, - Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of evil.

But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, - Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;

But, thou, when doing an alms, let not, thy left hand, know what thy right hand is doing;

No one, unto two masters, can be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other ,love, or, one, he will hold to, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot be in service, unto God, and, unto Riches.

Observe intently, the birds of the heaven, - that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they?

Now, if the grass of the field - which to-day, is, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast - God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith?

If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?

And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one, - but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.

But the centurion, answering, said, Lord! I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldest enter, - but, only say with a word, and healed shall be my servant.

Now Jesus, hearing, marveled, and said to them that followed, - Verily, I say unto you, With no one in Israel, such faith as this, have I found.

Now Jesus, seeing a multitude about him, gave orders to depart unto the other side.

And, when he, came, unto the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him, two men demonized, out of the tombs, coming forth, - fierce exceedingly, so that no one could pass that way;

Now there was, far from them, a herd of many swine, feeding;

But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, - Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house.

Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.

And, he, hearing it, said, - No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick.

Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, - for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made.

Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, - but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.

While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a certainruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, - My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.

And their eyes were opened. And Jesus, sternly charged them, saying, Mind! let no one know!

But, seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion concerning them, because they were torn and thrown down, like sheep hating no shepherd.

Now, the twelve apostles' names, are these: - first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, - and James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

Now, John, hearing in the prison the works of the Christ, sending through his disciples,

But, from the days of John the Immerser, until even now, the kingdom of the heavens, is being invaded, and, invaders, are, seizing upon it.

All things, unto me, have been delivered up by my Father; and, no one, fully knoweth the Son, save the rather, neither doth any one fully know, the Father, save, the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son, may be minded, to reveal, him.

And, knowing their inward thoughts, he said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is laid waste, - and, no city or house divided against itself, will stand;

He that is no with me, is, against me, - and, he that gathereth not with me, scattereth

And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, - and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;

and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;

And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, - whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.

yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, - and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.

And, he, saith - Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:

And, he, said unto them - Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.

But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, - give, ye, them to eat.

Now, the boat, still many furlongs from the land, was holding off, being distressed by the waves, - for, the wind, was, contrary.

But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying - Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.

But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said - My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because even now, three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, - and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.

And, lifting up their eyes, no one, saw they, save Jesus, himself, alone.

And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying - Unto no one, may ye tell the vision, until the Son of Man, from among the dead shall arise.

But, I say unto you - that, Elijah, just now, came, - and they recognised him not, but did with him, whatsoever they pleased: Thus, the Son of Man also, is destined to suffer by them.

Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.

They say unto him - Because, no one, hath hired, us. He saith unto them - Ye also, go your way into the vineyard.

But Jesus, answering, said - Ye know not what ye are asking: Are ye able to drink the cup, which, I, am about to drink; They say unto him - We are able.

But, Jesus, calling them near, said - Ye know that, the rulers of the nations, lord it over them, and, the great ones, wield authority over them:

and, seeing one fig-tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only, - and he saith unto it - No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age-abiding, - and the fig-tree, instantly withered away.

And, making answer to Jesus, they said - We know not. He also, said unto them - Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.

And they sent forth to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher! we know that, true, thou art, and, the way of God, in truth, dost teach, and it concerneth thee not about anyone, - for thou lookest not unto the face of men:

On that day, there came unto him Sadducees, who say, there is, no resurrection - and they questioned him,

Now there were, with us, seven brethren; and, the first, marrying, died, and not having seed, left his wife unto his brother.

Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;

Now, the Pharisees having come together, Jesus questioned them, saying -

And, no one, was able to answer him a word, neither durst anyone, from that day, question him, any more.

For I say unto you - in no wise, may ye see me, henceforth, until ye say, Blessed, is he that cometh, in the name of the Lord!

But, he, answering, said unto them - Are ye not beholding all these things? Verily, I say unto you - in no wise, shall there be left here, stone upon stone, which shall not be thrown down.

And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.

Now, from the fig-tree, learn ye, the parable: - When, already, her young branch, becometh tender, and the leaves, may be sprouting, ye observe, that, near, is, the summer:

But, concerning that day and hour, no one, knoweth, neither the messengers of the heavens, nor the Son, - save the Father only.

For, just as the days of Noah, so, will be the presence of the Son of Man;

For, as they were in those days that were before the flood, feeding and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, - until the day Noah entered into the ark;

Be watching, therefore, for ye know not, on what manner of day, your Lord is coming.

But there is, one thing, ye know - That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.

Now, five of them, were foolish, and, five, prudent.

Now, the bridegroom, delaying, they all became drowsy, and were sleeping.

And, he, answering, said - Verily, I say unto you, I know you not.

Be watching, therefore, because ye know, neither the day nor the hour.

But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said - Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown, - and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;

Ye know that, after two days, the passover, taketh place, - and, the Son of Man, is to be delivered up, to be crucified.

Moreover, I say unto you - In nowise, will I drink, henceforth, of this produce of the vine, until that day, whensoever I shall drink it with you, new, in the kingdom of my Father.

Now Peter, answering, said unto him - Though, all, shall find cause of stumbling in thee, I, shall never find cause of stumbling.

Or thinkest thou that I cannot call upon my Father, and he will set near me, even now, more than twelve legions of messengers?

Now, Peter, was following him afar off, unto the court of the High-priest, - and, entering within, was sitting with the attendants, to see the end.

Now, the High-priests and all the High-council, were seeking false-witness against Jesus, that they might, put him to death;

Then, the High-priest rent asunder his garments, saying - He hath spoken profanely! What further need have we, of witnesses? Lo! now, ye have heard the profanity!

Now, Peter, was sitting without, in the court; and there came unto him a certain female servant, saying - Thou also, wast with Jesus, the Galilaean.

But, he, denied before all, saying - I know not what thou sayest.

And, again, he denied, with an oath - I know not the man.

Then, began he to be cursing and swearing - I know not the man! And, straightway, a cock crowed.

Now, when morning came, all the High-priests and Elders of the people took, counsel, against Jesus, so as to put him to death:

Now, Jesus, stood before the governor; and the governor questioned him, saying - Thou, art the king of the Jews? And, Jesus, said - Thou, sayest.

And he answered him, no not so much as a single word, so that the governor was marvelling exceedingly.

Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.

For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.

Now the governor, answering, said unto them - Which of the two desire ye I should release unto you? And they said - Barabbas!

Israel's King, he is! Let him come down, now, from the cross, - and we will believe on him!

He hath put confidence upon God, Let him rescue him, now, if he desireth him; for he said, I am, God's Son.

Now, from the sixth hour, darkness, came upon all the land - until the ninth hour.

Now certain of them who were there standing, when they heard, began to say - This man, calleth, Elijah.

Now, the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus, seeing the earthquake and the things coming to pass, were violently affrighted, saying - Truly, God's Son, was, he!

Now there were there, many women, from afar, beholding, who indeed had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;

and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed.

Now there were there, Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

Pilate saith unto them - Ye have a guard: Go your way, secure it for yourselves, as ye know how.
