and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Out of Egypt I did call My Son.'

and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that 'A Nazarene he shall be called.'

that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things?

that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, 'Himself took our infirmities, and the sicknesses he did bear.'

And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having seen him, they called on him that he might depart from their borders.

Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done most of his mighty works, because they did not reform.

'Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed;

'And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained unto this day;

and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him.

And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,

and did charge them that they might not make him manifest,

that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.

that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, 'I will open in similes my mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.'

and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, 'Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works?

and he did not there many mighty works, because of their unbelief.

and said to his servants, 'This is John the Baptist, he did rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are working in him.'

whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever she might ask.

And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might let away the multitudes;

and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.

'And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;

Then were brought near to him children that he might put hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them.

And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, 'Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.'

And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,

Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by guile, and kill him,

And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death,

And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and might destroy Jesus;

And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross;

And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by the prophet, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and over my vesture they cast a lot;'

and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will heal him, that they might accuse him.

and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might destroy him.

and many times he was charging them that they might not make him manifest.

'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, 'Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal them;

And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,

And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- 'John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid.

and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:

And they were bringing to him children, that he might touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing them,

and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but the more abundantly he cried out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through the temple,

And the passover and the unleavened food were after two days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him;

And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them,

and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver him up.

and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might answer him.

and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he might rather release Barabbas to them.

and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged him -- that he might be crucified.

and whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord might come unto me?

For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy is His name,

He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation against him.

and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with one another what they might do to Jesus.

and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save his servant.

And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the Pharisee he reclined (at meat),

and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer them to enter into these, and he suffered them,

and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

'Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

And in his speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined (at meat),

laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on that country, and himself began to be in want;

and having called near one of the young men, he was inquiring what these things might be,

and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;

and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, 'Son of David, deal kindly with me.'

'And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business.

and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?

and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

And, having watched him, they sent forth liers in wait, feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor,

and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them,

and they said to him, 'Where wilt thou that we might prepare?'

this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;

that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify about the Light.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'

and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.

'But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;

and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;

that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?'

'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,

and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I -- I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- 'Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.'

They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

Jesus answered, 'My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.'

they said, therefore, to one another, 'We may not rend it, but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing might be fulfilled, that is saying, 'They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things.

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.

'Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according as also ye yourselves have known;

so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay them upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even his shadow might overshadow some one of them;

this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might not live;

and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
