But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, - Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of the , Holy, Spirit.

Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, - for, he, will save his people from their sins.

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

saying - Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.

But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

and, assembling all the high-priests and scribes of the people, he was enquiring of them - Where is, the Christ, to be born?

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;

Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, - and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.

Hearing, however, that, Archelaus, was reigning over Judaea instead of his father Herod, he was afraid, thither, to go, - and so, being instructed by dream, he retired into the parts of Galilee;

and came and fixed his dwelling in a city called Nazareth, - that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets - A Nazarene, shall he be called.

For, this, is he who was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, A voice, of one crying aloud! In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.

But, seeing, many of the Pharisees and Sadducees, coming unto his immersion, he said to them, - Broods of vipers! who suggested to you, to be fleeing from the coming wrath?

I, indeed, am immersing you, in water, unto repentance, - but, he who, after me, cometh is, mightier than I, whose, sandals, I am not worthy to bear, he, will immerse you, in Holy Spirit and fire:

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will clear out his threshing-floor, - and will gather his wheat into the granary, but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

But, he, would have hindered him, saying - I, have, need, by thee, to be immersed, - and dost, thou, come unto me?

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

And Jesus, having been immersed, straightway, went up from the water, - and lo! the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove coming upon him;

and, fasting forty days and forty nights, - afterwards, he hungered.

But, he, answering, said, It is written, - Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.

Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, - and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;

and saith to him - If thou art God's, Son, cast thyself down, - for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.

Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, - and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;

And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;

and, forsaking Nazareth, he came and fixed his dwelling in Capernaum, which was by the lake, - within the bounds of Zebulun and Naphtali:

And, walking round beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren - Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, - casting a large fishing-net into the sea, for they were fishers;

and he saith unto them, Come after me, - and I will make you fishers, of men.

And, going forward from thence, he saw other two brethren - James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother - in the boat with Zebedee their father, putting in order their nets, - and he called them.

And forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, - and he cured them.

But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, - and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;

and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: -

But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, - and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna.

That ye may become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.

And, when ye may he fasting, become not ye, as the hypocrites, of sullen countenance, - for they darken their looks, that they may appear, unto men, to be fasting: Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.

But, if thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; - if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!

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.

And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow, - they toil not neither do they spin;

Or how wilt thou say unto thy brother, Let me cast the mote out of thine eye, - when 1o! a beam, is in thine own eye?

For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, - and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.

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?

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord! Lord! shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, - but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens.

for he was teaching them as one having, authority, and not as their Scribes.

And when he came down from the mountain, there followed him large multitudes.

And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying, - I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy.

And, when he entered into Capernaum, there came near unto him a centurion, beseeching him,

He saith unto him, I, will come and cure him.

For, I also, am a man setunder 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 he touched her hand, and the fever left her, - and she arose, and began ministering unto him.

But, when, evening, came, they brought unto him many demonized, - and he cast out the spirits with a word, and, all who were sick, he cured:

And Jesus saith unto him: The foxes, have, dens, and, the birds of the heavens, nests, - but, the Son of Man, hath not where, his head he may recline.

And, when he, entered, into a boat, his disciples followed him.

And 1o! a great squall, arose in the sea, so that, the boat, was being covered, by the waves, - but, he, was sleeping.

And he saith unto them, Why, are ye, fearful, little of faith? Then, aroused, he rebuked the winds and the sea, - and it became a great calm.

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;

And he said unto them, Withdraw! So, they, going out, departed into the swine, - and lo! all the herd rushed down the cliff, into the sea, and died in the waters.

And lo! all the city, came out to meet Jesus, - and, seeing him, they besought that he would pass on from their bounds.

And, entering into a boat, he crossed over, and came into his own city.

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.

And, rising, he departed unto his house.

And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him, - Be following me. And, arising, he followed him.

And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that 1o! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples.

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

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.

But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, - and the maiden arose.

And, when he entered the house, the blind men came unto him, - and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye, that I can, do this? They say unto him, Yea, Lord!

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.

But, the Pharisees, beg to say, In the ruler of the demons, is he casting out the demons.

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

Then, saith he unto his disciples, The harvest, indeed, is great, but, the labourers, few;

Beg ye, therefore, of the Lord of the harvest, - That he would thrust forth labourers, into his harvest.

And, calling near his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits, - so as to be casting them out, and curing every disease and every infirmity.

But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, -

And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, - for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;

And ye will be hated by all, because of my name, - but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.

And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another, - for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come.

Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!

He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, - and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;

And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.

He that hath found his life, shall lose it, - and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.

He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome - unto him that sent me forth.

He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; -

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he passed on from thence, to be teaching and proclaiming in their cities.

And, happy, is he, whosoever shall not find cause of stumbling, in me.

This, is he, concerning whom it is written, - Lo! I, send my messenger before thy face, who shall make ready thy way before thee!

Verily, I say unto you - There hath not arisen, among such as are born of women, a greater than John the Immerser, - yet, he that is less in the kingdom of the heavens, is, greater than he.

And, if ye are willing to accept it, he, is Elijah - the one destined to come.

He that hath ears, let him hear!

For, John, came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say - A demon, he hath!

Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not: -

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 he said unto them, have ye never read what, David, did, when he hungered, and they who were with him? how

he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, - save for the priests, alone?

And, passing on from thence, he came into their synagogue;

How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.

Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, - and it was restored, whole, as the other.

But, Jesus, taking note, retired from thence, - and many followed him, and he cured them all;

Lo! my servant, whom I have chosen, My beloved, in whom, my soul, delighteth, - I will put my Spirit upon him, and, justice, unto the nations, will he report:

He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:

A bruised cane, will he not break, and, a smoking wick, will he not quench, - until he urge on, justice, to victory,

Then they brought unto him, one demonized, blind and dumb, - and he cured him, so that the dumb did speak and see.
