They came to Jericho. When Jesus was going out of the town with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road-side.

Hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to call out: "Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me."

Many of the people kept telling him to be quiet; but the man continued to call out all the louder: "Son of David, take pity on me."

He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. 'They will respect my son,' he said.

While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked: "How is it that the Teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David's son?

David himself calls him 'lord,' how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?" The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.

Then will be seen the 'Son of Man coming in clouds' with great power and glory;

But about 'That Day,' or 'The Hour,' no one knows--not even the angels in Heaven, nor yet the Son--but only the Father.

True, the Son of Man must go, as Scripture says of him, yet alas for that man by whom the Son of Man is being betrayed! For that man 'it would be better never to have been born!'"

A third time he came, and said to them: "Sleep on now, and rest yourselves. Enough! My time has come. Hark! the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of wicked men.

But Jesus remained silent, and made no answer. A second time the High Priest questioned him. "Are you," he asked, "the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"

"I am," replied Jesus, "and you shall all see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of the Almighty; and 'coming in the clouds of heaven'."

The Roman Officer, who was standing facing Jesus, on seeing the way in which he expired, exclaimed: "This man must indeed have been 'God's Son'!"

But the angel said to him: " Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth shall bear you a son, whom you shall call by the name John.

And now, you shall be with child and give birth to a son, and you shall give him the name Jesus.

The child shall be great and shall be called 'Son of the Most High,' and the Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David,

"The Holy Spirit shall descend upon you," answered the angel, "and the Power of the Most High shall overshadow you; and therefore the child will be called 'holy,' and 'Son of God.'

And Elizabeth, your cousin, is herself also expecting a son in her old age; and it is now the sixth month with her, though she is called barren;

When Elizabeth's time came, she gave birth to a son;

And she gave birth to her first child, a son. And because there was no room for them in the inn, she swathed him round and laid him in a manger.

And when Annas and Caiaphas were High Priests, a Command from God came to John, the son of Zechariah, while he was in the wilderness.

And the Holy Spirit descended, in a visible form, like a dove, upon him, and from the heavens came a voice--"Thou art my Son, the Beloved; in thee I delight."

When beginning his work, Jesus was about thirty years old. He was regarded as the son of Joseph, whose ancestors were--Eli,

Enosh, Seth and Adam the son of GOD.

So the Devil said to him: "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread."

The Devil next led him into Jerusalem, and, placing him on the parapet of the Temple, said: "If you are God's Son throw yourself down from here,

All who were present spoke well of him, and were astonished at the beautiful words that fell from his lips. "Is not he Joseph's son?" they asked.

And even demons came out from many people, screaming 'You are the Son of God.' Jesus rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

And so, too, were James and John, Zebediah's sons, who were Simon's partners. "Do not be afraid," Jesus said to Simon; "from to-day you shall catch men."

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"-- he spoke to the paralyzed man-- "To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home."

Then Jesus added: "The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath."

Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,

Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.

Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and taunt you, and reject your Name as an evil thing--on account of the Son of Man.

But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward shall be great, and you shall be Sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.

Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial--an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.

And now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying 'Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax- gatherers and outcasts.'

Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me."

He told them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and be rejected by the Councillors, and Chief Priests, and Teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.

Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Glory and the Glory of the father and of the holy angels.

And from the cloud came a voice which said--"This is my Son, the Chosen One; him you must hear."

And just then a man in the crowd shouted out: "Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

"O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed; "how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here."

"Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men."

"Foxes have holes," he replied, "and wild birds their roosting-places, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does any one know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him."

What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,

But, if it is by Baal-zebub's help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they shall themselves be your judges.

For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

Every one, I tell you, who shall acknowledge me before his fellow men, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God's angels;

Every one who shall say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for him who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

Do you also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come."

'Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in- law and daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law.'"

And he said to them: "Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?"

Then Jesus continued: "A man had two sons;

A few days later the younger son got together all that he had, and went away into a distant land; and there he squandered his inheritance by leading a dissolute life.

I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants."'

'Father,' the son said, 'I sinned against Heaven and against you; I am no longer fit to be called your son; make me one of your hired servants.'

For here is my son who was dead, and is alive again, was lost, and is found.' So they began making merry.

Meanwhile the elder son was out in the fields; but, on coming home, when he got near the house, he heard music and dancing,

But, no sooner has this son of yours come, who has eaten up your property in the company of prostitutes, than you have killed the fattened calf for him.'

The day will come," he said to his disciples, "when you will long to see but one of the days of the Son of Man, and will not see it.

For, just as lightning will lighten and flare from one side of the heavens to the other, so will it be with the Son of Man.

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be again in the days of the Son of Man.

It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man reveals himself.

He will, I tell you, have justice done them, and that soon! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"

Gathering the Twelve round him, Jesus said to them: "Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the Prophets will be done to the Son of Man.

He shouted out: "Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!"

Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder: "Son of David, take pity on me!"

"Salvation has come to this house to-day," answered Jesus, "for even this man is a son of Abraham.

The Son of Man has come to 'search for those who are lost' and to save them."

'What shall I do?' said the owner of the vineyard. 'I will send my son, who is very dear to me. Perhaps they will respect him.'

Nor indeed can they die again, for they are like angels and, having shared in the resurrection, they are God's Sons.

But Jesus said to them: "How is it that people say that the Christ is to be David's son?

David, then, calls him 'lord,' so how is he David's son?"

Then will be seen the 'Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory.

Be on the watch at all times, and pray that you may have strength to escape all that is destined to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man."

True, the Son of Man is passing, by the way ordained for him, yet alas for that man by whom he is being betrayed!"

On which Jesus said to him: "Judas, is it by a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?"

But from this hour 'the Son of Man will be seated on the right hand of God Almighty.'"

"Are you, then, the Son of God?" they all asked. "It is true," answered Jesus, "I am."

How he said that the Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of wicked men, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day."

And the Word became Man, and dwelt among us, (We saw his glory--the glory of the Only Son sent from the Father), full of love and truth.

No man has ever yet seen God; God the Only Son, who is ever with the Father--He has revealed him.

This I have seen myself, and I have declared my belief that he is the Son of God."

Then he brought him to Jesus. Fixing his eyes on him, Jesus said: "You are Simon, the son of John; you shall be called Kephas" (which means 'Peter,' or 'Rock').

He found Nathanael and said to him: "We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and of whom the Prophets also wrote--Jesus of Nazareth, Joseph's son!"

"Rabbi," Nathanael exclaimed, "you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel!"

In truth I tell you," he added, "you shall all see Heaven open, and 'the angels of God ascending and descending' upon the Son of Man."

No one has ascended to Heaven, except him who descended from Heaven--the Son of Man himself.

And, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that every one who believes in him may not be lost, but have Immortal Life.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.

He who believes in him escapes condemnation, while he who does not believe in him is already condemned, because he has not believed in the only Son of God.

The Father loves his Son, and has put everything in his hands.

He who believes in the Son has Immortal Life, while he who rejects the Son will not even see that Life, but remains under 'God's displeasure.'

And, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!"

So Jesus came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was one of the King's officers whose son was lying ill at Capernaum.

When this man heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to him, and begged him to come down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
