For, who from among you, wishing to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, - whether he hath sufficient for completion;

lest once, he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are looking on, should begin to mock at him,

Or, what king, moving on to encounter, another king, in battle, will not sit down first and take counsel, whether he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him who, with twenty thousand, is coming against him.

Thus, therefore, everyone from amongst you, who doth not bid adieu unto all his own possessions, cannot be my disciple.

I say unto you - Thus, joy in heaven, will there be, over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous persons, who indeed have, no need, of repentance.

But, when, this thy son, who had devoured thy living with harlots, came, thou didst sacrifice, for him, the fatted calf;

And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, - There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.

If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?

And, if, in what was another's, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?

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

And he said unto them - Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.

And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, - so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.

And he said unto his disciples: - It is, impossible, that occasions of stumbling should not come, notwithstanding, alas! for him through whom they do come:

But, who from among you, having, a servant, plowing or keeping sheep, when he hath come in out of the field, will say to him - Straightway, come, and recline; -

And, as he was entering into a certain village, there met him ten leprous men, who stood still, afar off;

And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?

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

I tell you - This one went down justified, unto his house, rather than that one; because, every one who exalteth himself, shall be abased, but, he that abaseth himself, shall be exalted?

And Jesus, beholding him, said - With what difficulty, shall, they who have money, enter, into the kingdom of God.

And they who heard said - Who, then, can be saved?

And, he, said unto them - Verily, I say unto you - No one, is there, who hath left - house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, - for the sake of the kingdom of God;

who shall in anywise not receive manifold in this season, and, in the age that is coming, life age-abiding.

And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.

But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.

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

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

and spake, saying, unto him - Tell us, by what authority, these things, thou art doing, and, who, is it, that gave thee this authority.

Every one who falleth on that stone, will be sorely bruised, but, on whomsoever it shall fall, it will utterly destroy him.

Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said - Of Caesar.

But there came near certain of the Sadducees, they who say, Resurrection, there is none! and questioned him,

But, they who have been accounted worthy, that age, to obtain, and the resurrection that is from among the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage;

Be taking heed of the Scribes - Who desire to walk about in long robes, and are fond of salutations in the markets, and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the chief meals, -

Who devour the houses of widows, and, for a show, are a long time at prayer. These, shall receive, a heavier sentence.

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

For, I, will give you a mouth and wisdom, which one-and-all who are setting themselves against, you shall be unable to withstand or gainsay.

Then they who are in Judaea, let them flee into the mountains, and they who are in her midst, let them go forth, - and they who are in the fields, let them not enter into her;

Alas! for the women with child, and for them who are giving suck, in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and anger against this people.

Nevertheless, lo! the hand of him who is delivering me up, is with me upon the table.

Because, the Son of Man, indeed, according to what is marked out, goeth his way; nevertheless, alas! for that man through whom he is being delivered up.

And, they, began to be enquiring together, among themselves, as to which, then, it could be, from among them, who, this thing, was about to perpetrate!

And, he, said unto them - The kings of the nations, lord it over them, and, they who wield authority over them, benefactors, are called.

Ye, however, are they who have remained throughout with me in my temptations;

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

And Jesus said unto the High-priests, and Captains of the temple, and Elders, who had come against him - As against a robber, have ye come out, with swords and clubs?

And, the men who held him bound, kept mocking him, with blows;

who indeed, because of a certain revolt which had occurred in the city, and of murder, had been thrown into prison.

and released him who, for revolt and murder, had been cast into prison, whom they claimed, - whereas, Jesus, delivered he up unto their will.

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

And, all the multitudes who had been drawn together unto this spectacle, having looked upon the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts, began to return.

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

(the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), - from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,

And the women, they who had come out of Galilee with him, following after, observed the tomb, and how his body was laid.

And he said unto them - What things? And, they, said unto him - The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who became a prophet, mighty in work and word, before God and all the people:

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

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.

(John beareth witness concerning him, and hath cried aloud, saying - the same, was he that said - He who, after me, was coming, before me, hath advanced; because, my Chief, was he.)

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

So they said unto him - Who, art thou? that, an answer, we may give, unto them who sent us, - What sayest thou, concerning thyself?

John answered them, saying - I, immerse, in water. In the midst of you, standeth one, whom, ye, know not; -

after me, coming: - Of whom, I, am not worthy that I should unloose the thong of the sandal.

On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith - See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

This, is he, of whom, I, said - After me, cometh a man, who, before me, hath advanced, because, my Chief, was he.

Philip, findeth, Nathanael, and saith unto him - Him, of whom wrote Moses in the law, and the Prophets, have we found. - Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth!

Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and saith concerning him - See! Truly, an Israelite, in whom is no guile.

His mother saith unto them who are ministering - Whatsoever he may say to you, do!

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 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.

The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.

And they came unto John, and said unto him - Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.

He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.

For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.

The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him - How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? for, Jews, have no dealings with Samaritans.

Jesus answered, and said unto her - If thou hadst known the free gift of God, and who it is that is saying unto thee, Give me to drink, thou, wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.

Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, - and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?

for, five husbands, thou hast had, - and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.

The woman saith unto him - I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, - Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.

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

And there was a certain man there, who, for thirty-eight years, had continued in his sickness.

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: -

who, however, answered them - He that made me well, he, unto me, said - Take up thy couch, and be walking.

They questioned him - Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy couch , and be walking?

But, the healed one, knew not, who, it was; for, Jesus, had turned aside, a multitude, being in the place.

The man went away, and told the Jews, that it was, Jesus, who had made him well.

For, just as the Father waketh up the dead, and quickeneth them, in like manner, the Son also, whom he pleaseth, doth quicken.

That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: There cometh an hour, and now is, when, the dead, shall hearken unto the voice of the Son of God, and, they who have hearkened, shall live.

and shall come forth, - they who, the good things, have done, unto a resurrection, of life; but, they who the corrupt things, have practised, unto a resurrection, of judgment.

Another, it is, who beareth witness concerning me, - and I know that, true, is the witness which he witnesseth concerning me.

And so, the Father who sent me, he, hath borne witness concerning me; Neither, a sound of him, at any time, have ye heard, nor, a form of him, have ye seen;

And, his word, ye have not, within you abiding - because, as touching him whom, he, sent, in him, ye, believe not.

Do not think that, I, will accuse you unto the Father: There, is, who accuseth you, even, Moses, - on whom, ye, have set your hope.

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.

The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say - This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.

Jesus answered, and said unto them - This, is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom, he, hath sent forth.

and were saying - Is not, this, Jesus, the son of Joseph, - of whom, we, know the father and the mother! How is it then, that he, now, saith: Out of heaven, have I come down?

No one, can come unto me, except, the Father who sent me, draw him, - and, I, will raise him up, in the last day.

It is written in the prophets, - And they shall be, all, the instructed of God: Every one who hath heard of the Father, and learned, cometh unto me.
