because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.

And Jesus said - Who, is it that touched me? And, when all were denying, Peter said - Master! the multitudes, are hemming thee in, and pressing along.

And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he said - Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.

And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.

And her parents were beside themselves. But, he, charged them to tell, no one, what had happened.

And they went forth, and were passing through, along the villages, - delivering the glad-message, and effecting cures in every direction.

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things which were coming to pass, and was utterly at a loss, because of its being said, by some, that, John, had been raised from the dead;

For there were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples - Make them recline, in companies of about fifty each.

and they did all eat and were filled. And that which remained over to them, was taken up, - of broken pieces, twelve baskets.

And, it came to pass, when he was praying in solitude, the disciples, were with him. And he questioned them, saying - Who do the multitudes say that I am?

And lo! two men, were conversing with him, who, indeed, were Moses and Elijah, -

who, appearing in glory, were speaking as to his departure, which he was about to fulfil in Jerusalem.

Now, Peter, and they who were with him, had become heavy with sleep; but, waking up, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

And it came to pass, when they were being parted from him, Peter said unto Jesus - Master! it is, delightful, for us to be, here: Let us, therefore, make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah: - not knowing what he said.

Now, while he was saying these things, there came a cloud, and it began to overshadow them, - and they were overcome with fear as they entered into the cloud.

And they were all being struck with astonishment, at the majesty of God. And, while all were marvelling at all things which he was doing, he said unto his disciples:

But, they, understood not this saying, and it had become veiled from them, that they might not grasp it, - and they were afraid to question him, concerning this saying.

And it came to pass, when the days for taking him up were on the point of being fulfilled, even he himself, set, his face, to be journeying unto Jerusalem;

And, as they were journeying on the road, one said unto him - I will follow thee, whithersoever thou shalt depart.

And, as they were journeying, he, entered into a certain village; and, a certain woman, named Martha, welcomed him into her house.

and, others, putting him to the test, a sign out of heaven, were seeking from him.

And, as the multitudes were thronging together, he began to be saying - This generation, is, a wicked generation: A sign, it is seeking, and, a sign, shall not be given it, save the sign of Jonah.

Alas for you, the lawyers! because ye took away the key of knowledge: yourselves, entered not, and, them who were entering, ye hindered.

Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first - Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.

Now there were present some, in that very season, bringing tidings to him, concerning the Galilaeans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Or, those eighteen, upon whom fell the tower in Siloam, and slew them, suppose ye that, they, had become, debtors, beyond all the men who were dwelling in Jerusalem?

And, as he was saying, these, things, all who had been setting themselves against him were being put to shame; and, all the multitude, were rejoicing over all the glorious things which were being brought to pass by him.

And it came to pass, when he entered into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees, on a Sabbath, to eat bread, that, they, were narrowly watching him.

And he went on to speak, unto the invited, a parable, - observing how, the first couches, they were choosing; saying unto them -

And there were journeying together with him many multitudes; and, turning, he said unto them -

But all the tax-collectors and the sinners were, unto him, drawing near, to be hearkening unto him;

and both the Pharisees and the Scribes were murmuring, saying, This man, unto sinners, giveth welcome, and eateth with them.

And he used to long to be filled with the pods which the swine were eating; and, no man, was giving unto him.

Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.

The law and the prophets, were until John, - from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.

Thus, ye also, when ye have done all the things enjoined upon you, say - Unprofitable servants, are we, - What we were bound to do, we have done!

And, beholding, he said unto them - Go your way, and show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they withdrew, they were cleansed.

And Jesus, answering, said - Were not, the ten, cleansed? but,where, are, the nine?

They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, - until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.

In like manner, as it came to pass in the days of Lot, They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, -

And he spake, even unto certain who were confident in themselves that they were righteous, and were despising the rest, this parable: -

And they were bringing unto him, even the babes, that he might touch, them; but the disciples, seeing it, began to rebuke them.

And, they that were going before, began to rebuke him, that he might hold his peace. But, he, by so much the more, was crying out - O Son of David! have mercy upon me!

And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.

And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.

And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them - Why are ye loosing the colt?

And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.

And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;

And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High-priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking to destroy him, -

and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.

Seven brethren, therefore, there were, - and, the first, taking a wife, died childless,

For, no longer, were they daring to ask him any questions.

And, looking up, he saw the, rich, who were casting their gifts into the treasury, -

And, all the people, were coming at day-break unto him, in the temple, to be hearkening unto him.

And the High-priests and the Scribes were seeking, how they might get rid of him; for they feared the people.

And they who were about him, seeing what would be, said - Lord! shall we smite with the sword?

and, many other things, with profane speech, were they saying unto him.

said unto them - Ye brought unto me this man, as one turning away the people, and lo! I, in your presence, examining him, found, nothing, in this man worthy of blame, in respect of the things whereof ye were making accusation against him.

And there was following him a great throng of the people, and of women, who were smiting themselves and lamenting him.

And there were being led, two other evil-doers also, to be lifted up.

And, when they were parting his garments, they cast lots.

And the people were standing, looking on. But the rulers were sneering, saying - Others, he saved, let him save himself, - if, this, is, the Christ of God, the Chosen.

But all they who were acquainted with him, were standing afar off, women also who had followed with him from Galilee, - beholding these things.

And, returning, they made ready spices and perfumes. And, on the Sabbath, indeed, they were quiet, according to the commandment;

And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that 1o! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment.

Now they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joana, and Mary the mother of James; and, the other women with them, were telling, unto the apostles, these things.

And these sayings appeared before them, as if idle talk, and they were minded to disbelieve them.

And lo! two from among them, on the selfsame day, were journeying unto a village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of which, was Emmaus;

and, they, were conversing one with another, about all these things which had occurred.

And it came to pass, as they were conversing and reasoning together, that, Jesus himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;

but, their eyes, were held, so as not to know him.

We, however, were hoping that, he, was the one destined to redeem Israel! But indeed, even with all these things, this brings on, the third, day, since these things happened: -

and, not finding his body, came, saying - that, a vision of messengers, they had seen, who were affirming him to be alive.

And certain of them who were with us departed unto the tomb, - and found so, according as, the women, had said; but, him, they saw not.

And they drew near unto the village, whither they were journeying; and, he, made for journeying, further.

And, their, eyes were opened, and they knew him; and, he, vanished from them.

And, arising in that very hour, they returned unto Jerusalem, - and found, gathered together, the eleven, and them who were with them,

Now, as, these very things, they were telling, he himself, stood in their midst

But, being agitated and becoming, afraid, they began to imagine, that, upon a spirit, they were looking.

Now, while yet they believed not for the joy, and were marvelling, he said unto them - Have ye anything to eat, here?

and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

But, as many as did receive him, he gave, unto them, authority, children of God, to become, - unto them who were believing on his name:

Who - not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but - of God, were born.

Now there were there, six stone water-vessels, placed, according to the purification of the Jews; holding each, two or three measures.

And, when the master of the feast had tasted the water, now made, wine, and knew not whence it was, - though, they who were ministering, knew, even they who had drawn out the water, the master accosteth the bridegroom,

And he found, in the temple, them that were selling oxen and sheep and doves, also the money-changers sitting.

and unto them who were selling, the doves, he said - Take these things hence! Be not making, the house of my Father, a house of merchandise.

And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, - and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.

And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; -

They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.

In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying - Rabbi! eat.

In these, was lying a throng of them who were sick, - blind, lame, withered.

The Jews, therefore, were saying, unto him who had been cured - It is, Sabbath; and it is not allowable for thee to take up thy couch: -

And, on this account, were the Jews persecuting Jesus, because, these things, he had been doing, on Sabbath.

On this account, therefore, the rather, were the Jews seeking to slay him, - because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but was calling God, his own Father, making, himself, equal, with, God.

He, was the burning and shining lamp, and, ye, were willing to exult, for an hour, in his light.

and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.

Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing.

And, when they were well-filled, he saith unto his disciples - Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing be lost.

So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves, - which were left over by them who had eaten.
