and he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore miracles are wrought in him.

For Herod having arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip.

For John said to him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

And wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they esteemed him as a prophet.

And the king was grieved; nevertheless on account of his oaths, and those who were sitting with him, he commanded it to be given.

And Jesus hearing, departed thence in a ship privately into a desert place. And the multitudes hearing, followed Him on foot from the cities.

And it being evening, His disciples came to Him saying, It is a desert place, and the hour is already advanced; therefore send away the multitudes, that they having gone into the villages, may purchase for themselves victuals.

And they say to Him, We have nothing here except five loaves and two fishes.

And Jesus immediately constrained His disciples to embark into the ship and go before Him to the other side, until he can send away the multitudes.

And the disciples seeing Him walking on the sea, were afrighted, saying, It is a specter; and they cried out from fear.

And Jesus immediately reaching out His hand, received him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

And those in the ship having come worshiped Him, saying, Truly thou art the Son of God.

And the men of that place recognizing Him, sent into all the surrounding country and brought to Him all the sick;

and they continued to intreat Him that they should only touch the hem of His garment: and so many as touched were thoroughly saved.

For God commanded saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or mother, let him die with death.

And calling the multitude to Him, He said to them, Hear and understand:

Then His disciples having come to Him say, Do you not know that the Pharisees hearing your word, were offended?

Peter responding said to Him, Explain unto us the parable.

And behold, a Canaanitish woman having come out from those coasts, cried unto Him saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is terribly demonized.

And He responded to her not a word; and His disciples, having come to Him, asked Him, saying, Send her away; because she cries after us.

And having come she continued to worship Him, saying, Lord, assist me.

And many multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deaf, the maimed, and many others, and laid them down at the feet of Jesus; and He healed them:

And Jesus calling His disciples to Him, said, I sympathize with the multitude, because already three days abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat; I do not wish to send them away fasting, lest they may faint on the road.

And His disciples say to Him, Whence is there to us so much bread in the wilderness, as to feed so great a multitude?

And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come to Him, tempting Him, asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

And Jesus responding said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon the son of Jonah: because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

And from this time Jesus began to show to His disciples, that it behooves Him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer many things from the elders and the chief priest and the scribes, and to be killed, and rise the third day.

And Peter taking Him to him, began to rebuke Him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord; because this shall not be unto thee.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, If any one wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared unto them, talking with Him.

He still speaking, behold, a white cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted; hear ye Him.

And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say that it behooves Elijah to come first?

but I say unto you, that Elijah has already come, and they recognized Him not, but did unto Him so many things as they wished; thus the Son of man is also about to suffer by them.

And they having come to the multitude, the man came to Him, worshiping Him on his knees,

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they were not able to heal him.

And Jesus responding said: O, faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? bring him hither to me.

And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out from him, and the child was healed from that hour.

Then the disciples coming to Jesus privately, said, Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?

And they will kill Him; and He will rise the third day. And they were grieved exceedingly.

He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What seems to you, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? from their own sons or aliens?

And he saying from aliens, Jesus said to him, Then the sons are free.

And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of them,

But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea.

But if thy brother may sin, go, and convict him between thee and him alone: if he may hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

But if he may not hear them, tell the church: and if indeed he may not hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and publican.

Then Peter, coming to Him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?

Jesus says to him, I say not unto thee, Until seven time; but Until seventy times seven.

And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents.

And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made.

Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all.

The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt.

And that servant having gone out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred denaria: seized him, throttled him, saying, Pay me what you owe me.

Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.

And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing.

Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me:

And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due him.

And many multitudes followed Him; and He healed them there.

And the Pharisees came to Him, tempting Him, and saying to Him; Is it lawful for a man to send away his wife for any cause?

They say to Him, Then why did Moses command to give a book of divorcement, and to send her away?

His disciples say to Him, If the cause of a man with his wife is thus, it is better not to marry.

For there are eunuchs, who have been so born from the womb of their mother. And there are eunuchs, who have been eunuchized by men: and there are eunuchs, who eunuchized themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Then little children were brought to Him, that He might put His hands on them, and pray. And the disciples rebuked them.

Behold, one coming to Him said, Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do, in order that I may have eternal life?

And He said to him, Why do you ask me concerning the good One? One is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.

He says to Him, What? And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt not murder, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt hot steal, thou shalt not bear false witness,

The young man says to Him, All these have I kept from my youth: what lack I yet?

Jesus said to him, If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

Then Peter responding said to Him, Behold, we have left all things, and followed Thee; what then shall be to us?

They say to him, Because no one hired us. He says to them, Go ye also into the vineyard.

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes; and they will condemn Him to death,

and they will deliver Him to the Gentiles to mock, and scourge, and crucify Him: and on the third day He will rise.

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, worshiping and asking something from Him.

And He said to her, What do you wish? She says to Him, Tell me that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.

And Jesus responding said, You know not what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup which I am about to drink? They say to Him, We are able.

But Jesus calling them to Him, said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them.

And they going out from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him.

They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.

And Jesus being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and immediately they looked up; and followed Him.

And if any one may say any thing to you, tell him, that the Lord hath need of them; and immediately he will send them away.

And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple: and He healed them.

and said to Him, Do you hear what they are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes: have you not read, That out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

And the chief priests and elders of the people came to Him, while teaching, He having come into the temple, saying, By what authority are you doing these things? And who gave you this authority?

Whence was the baptism of John? from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we may say, From heaven; He will say to us, Why then did you not believe on him?

Which one of the two did the will of the father? They say to Him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say unto you, that the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and harlots believed him, and you, seeing, did not afterward regret it, in order that you might believe him.

But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take possession of his inheritance.

And taking him, they cast him out of the vine-yard, and slew him.

They say to Him, He will certainly destroy those wicked men, and give the vineyard to other husband-men, who will render to him the fruits in their seasons.

And seeking to arrest Him, they feared the multitudes, since they held Him as a prophet.

And he says to him, Comrade, how did you come in hither, not having the wedding-garment? And he was silent.

Then the king said to the servants, Having bound him feet and hands, cast him into the darkness which is without; and there shall be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.

Then the Pharisees going forth, took counsel how they might ensnare Him in His speech.

And they send to Him their own disciples along with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and that thou art teaching the way of God in truth, and there is not a care to thee for any one; for thou dost not look into the face of men.

Show me the tribute money: and they brought Him a denarion.

They say to Him, Caesar's. Then He says to them, Therefore render Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things which are God's.

And hearing they are astonished, and leaving Him, they went away.

On that day the Sadducees came to Him, saying, there is no resurrection: and asked Him,

And one of them, a theologian, tempting Him, asked Him also, saying,

And He said to him; Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

saying, What seems to you concerning the Christ? whose son is He? They say to Him, Of David.
