And there was Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asser: she was far advanced in old age, having lived but seven years with a husband, from her virgin state:

for you assert, that I cast out demons by Beelzebub. but if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? wherefore they shall be your judges.

if we should assert, it was a human contrivance, the populace would stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.

Then they induced some men to assert that they had heard Stephen saying blasphemous things against Moses, and against God;

Why should we not say-as some people slanderously assert that we do say-'Let us do evil that good may come'? The condemnation of such men is indeed just!

How then can we assert, "that Abraham our father obtained this from circumcision?"

Now if it has been declared, that Christ rose from the dead, how comes it, that some among you assert, "there is no resurrection of the dead?"

Do you assert that I took advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you?

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they neither understand what they say, nor what things they assert.

And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass?

Say you to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your king comes to you, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him.

And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him.

The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?

And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,

'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' colt.'

saying to them: Go into the village opposite to you, and immediately you will find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.

and brought the ass and the colt, and put their mantles on them, and caused him to sit upon them.

But received a reproof for his peculiar transgression: the dumb ass articulating with a human voice restrained the perverseness of the prophet.

And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

And they went away and saw a young ass by the door outside in the open street; and they were getting him loose.

And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

And they took the young ass to Jesus, and put their clothing on him, and he got on his back.

And whoever should offend one of these little ones believing in me, it is profitable for him that the millstone of an ass be hung upon his neck, and he be sunk in the midst of the sea.

It is profitable to him if the millstone of an ass were placed about his neck, and he cast into the sea, rather than he should offend one of these little ones.

Do not come into close association with unbelievers, like oxen yoked with asses. For what is there in common between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what partnership has light with darkness?

they have gone wrong by leaving the straight road, by following the road of Balaam son of Bosor, who liked the profits of evil-doing ??16 but he got reproved for his malpractice: a dumb ass spoke with human voice and checked the prophet's infatuation.
