And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

A curse is on you, Chorazin! A curse is on you, Beth-saida! For if such works of power had been done in Tyre and Sidon as have been done in you, they would have been turned from their sins, in days gone by, seated in the dust.

All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.

No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.

Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

And he said to the gardener, See, for three years I have been looking for fruit from this tree, and I have not had any: let it be cut down; why is it taking up space?

And is it not right for this daughter of Abraham, who has been in the power of Satan for eighteen years, to be made free on the Sabbath?

When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

And the servant said, Lord, your orders have been done, and still there is room.

And so great was his need that he would have been glad to take the pigs' food, and no one gave him anything.

But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.

If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?

And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?

And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.

But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.

For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

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.

Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves.

And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

You say that this man has been teaching the people evil things: now I, after going into the question before you, see nothing wrong in this man in connection with the things which you have said against him

Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life

And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

And he took it down, and folding it in a linen cloth, he put it in a place cut in the rock for a dead body; and no one had ever been put in it.

And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

And they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

But Peter got up and went to the place where the body had been put, and looking in he saw nothing but the linen cloths, and he went to his house full of wonder at what had taken place.

And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.

Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

For at this time John had not been put into prison.

Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years.

When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

Now he who had been made well had no knowledge who it was, Jesus having gone away because of the number of people who were in that place.

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation.

So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

They took him before the Pharisees--this man who had been blind.

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

Of being judged, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.

One of the servants of the high priest, a relation of him whose ear had been cut off by Peter, said, Did I not see you with him in the garden?

After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

Now there was a garden near the cross, and in the garden a new place for the dead in which no man had ever been put.

Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well,

He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.

Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.

Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose.

While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:
