At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn, and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears, and to eat,

and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they questioned him, saying, 'Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?' that they might accuse him.

And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation against him, how they might destroy him,

and did charge them that they might not make him manifest,

And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your sons -- by whom do they cast out? because of this they -- they shall be your judges.

'And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;

'Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here!

then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall it be also to this evil generation.'

and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through not having depth of earth,

and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through not having root, they withered,

'Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand,

for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them.

'And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear,

for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear.

the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing the unlawlessness,

which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into vessels, and the bad they did cast out,

Jesus saith to them, 'Did ye understand all these?' They say to him, 'Yes, sir.'

and having come to his own country, he was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were saying, 'Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works?

and his sisters -- are they not all with us? whence, then, to this one all these?'

and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is not without honour except in his own country, and in his own house:'

and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because as a prophet they were holding him.

And his disciples having come, took up the body, and buried it, and having come, they told Jesus,

and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, 'The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.'

And Jesus said to them, 'They have no need to go away -- give ye them to eat.'

And they say to him, 'We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.'

and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying -- 'It is an apparition,' and from the fear they cried out;

and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,

And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret,

and having recognized him, the men of that place sent forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him all who were ill,

and were calling on him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved.

Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and Pharisees -- saying,

'Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat bread.'

and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings -- commands of men.'

let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.'

and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,

so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'

And Jesus saith to them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven, and a few little fishes.'

And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, 'Because we took no loaves.'

Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

and they said, 'Some, John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.'

Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no one that he is Jesus the Christ.

Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of Man coming in his reign.'

and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus only.

And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged them, saying, 'Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man out of the dead may rise.'

and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them.'

And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him,

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

And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them, 'The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men,

and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,' and they were exceeding sorry.

And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachms came near to Peter, and said, 'Your teacher -- doth he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, 'Yes.'

And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, 'What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth -- from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons or from the strangers?'

Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask -- it shall be done to them from my Father who is in the heavens,

and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh?

so that they are no more two, but one flesh; what therefore God did join together, let no man put asunder.'

They say to him, 'Why then did Moses command to give a roll of divorce, and to put her away?'

and they went away. 'Again, having gone forth about the sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner.

they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be righteous ye shall receive.

And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did receive each a denary.

'And the first having come, did suppose that they shall receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary,

and having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, saying,

and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the third day he will rise again.'

and he said to her, 'What wilt thou?' She saith to him, 'Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.'

And Jesus answering said, 'Ye have not known what ye ask for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be baptized?' They say to him, 'We are able.'

And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a great multitude,

And the multitude charged them that they might be silent, and they cried out the more, saying, 'Deal kindly with us sir -- Son of David.'

they say to him, 'Sir, that our eyes may be opened;'

and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

and they said to him, 'Hearest thou what these say?' And Jesus saith to them, 'Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?'

the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, 'If we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

And answering Jesus they said, 'We have not known.' He said to them -- he also -- 'Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to him, 'The first.' Jesus saith to them, 'Verily I say to you, that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into the reign of God,

and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.

'Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.

'And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son;

and having taken him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him;

They say to him, 'Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them, and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.'

and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding him as a prophet.

and he sent forth his servants to call those having been called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to come.

and they, having disregarded it, went away, the one to his own field, and the other to his merchandise;

'And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining.

Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in words,

and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, 'Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men;

show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a denary;

they say to him, 'Caesar's;' then saith he to them, 'Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;'

and having heard they wondered, and having left him they went away.

In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him, saying,

for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven.

saying, 'What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom is he son?' They say to him, 'Of David.'

all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and do not;

for they bind together burdens heavy and grievous to be borne, and lay upon the shoulders of men, but with their finger they will not move them.

'And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

they love also the chief couches in the supper, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

'Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within they are full of rapine and incontinence.

for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ, and they shall lead many astray,

then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another.
