Bringing polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye said, In what did we pollute thee? In your saying, The table of Jehovah it was despised.

And if ye shall bring near the blind for a sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye shall bring near the lame and the sick, is it not evil? bring A near now to thy governor; will he delight in thee, or lift up thy face? said Jehovah of armies.

And now, beseech now, the face of God, and he will be gracious to us: this was from your hand: will he lift up from you the faces? says Jehovah of armies.

Who also among you and he will shut the doors? and ye shall not make light mine altar gratuitously. Not to me delight in you, said Jehovah of armies, and I will not delight in the gift of your hand.

And ye profaning it in your saying, The table of Jehovah it being polluted; and its fruit, its food was despised.

And ye said, Behold, what a weariness! and ye puffed at it, said Jehovah of armies; and ye brought the spoiled and the lame, and the sick; and ye brought the gift: shall I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah.

If ye will not hear and if ye will not set upon your heart to give honor to my name, said Jehovah of armies, and I sent a curse upon you, and I cursed your blessings, and also I cursed it for your not setting upon the heart.

Behold me rebuking the seed to you, and I scattered dung upon your faces, the dung of your festivals; and it lifted you up to it.

Is there not one father to us all? is there not one God creating us? wherefore shall we deal faithlessly each against his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers?

And this ye will do the second time, covering with tears the altar of Jehovah, with weepings and shrieks, from not any more looking to the gift, and to take delight from your hand.

And did he not make one? And the remainder of the spirit to him. And why one? Seeking a seed of God. And ye matched in your spirit, and he shall not deal faithlessly against the wife of thy youth.

For he hated sending away, says Jehovah God of Israel: and he covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah of armies: and ye watched in your spirit, and ye shall not deal faithlessly.

Ye wearied Jehovah with your words: and ye said, In what did we weary? In your saying, Every one doing evil is good in the eyes of Jehovah, and he delighted in them; or, Where the God of judgment?

And he sat melting and cleansing silver: and he cleansed the sons of Levi, and he purified them as gold and as silver, and they were to Jehovah bringing near the sacrifice in justice.

For I am Jehovah, I changed not; and ye the sons of Jacob were not finished.

For from the days of your fathers ye departed from my laws, and ye watched not. Turn back to me and I will turn back to you, said Jehovah of armies. And ye said, In what shall we turn back?

Ye are cursed with a curse: and ye defrauded me, the nation all of it

Your words were strong against me, said Jehovah. And ye said, What did we speak against thee?

And now we pronounce the proud happy; also they working injustice were built up; also they tried Jehovah and they will be delivered.

And they were to me, said Jehovah of armies, for the day which I make wealth; and I spared for them as a man will spare for the son serving him.

For behold, the day coming, burning as a furnace; and all the proud and all doing injustice were straw: and the day coming burnt them, said Jehovah of armies, that it shall not leave to them root and branch.

And ye tread down the unjust; for they were ashes under the soles of your feet in the day which I doing, said Jehovah of armies.

Where is he born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the sunrising, and have come to worship him.

And assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where Christ should be born.

And they having heard the king went forth; and, behold the star they saw in the sunrising, it led before them, till having come, it stood above where the young child was.

A voice was heard in Rama, wailing, and weeping, and much lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, for they are not.

And they were immersed in Jordan by him, acknowledging their sins.

And Jesus, having been immersed, went up straight from the water, and, behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him.

And Jesus, walking about by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a sweep-net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Happy are ye, when they shall upbraid you, and drive you out, and say every evil word against you, lying, for my sake.

Rejoice and be transported with joy; for much your reward in the heavens for so they drove out the prophets which before you.

Ye are the salt of the earth: and if the salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be salted? it is yet strong for nothing, except to be cast without, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ye are the light of the world. A city cannot be hid, set on a mountain.

So let your light shine before men, that they see your good works, and praise your Father, him in the heavens.

Think not that I have come to abolish the law, or the prophets: for I have come not abolish, but to complete.

For verily I say to you, Till heaven pass away, and earth, one iota, or one mark, should not pass away from the law, till all should be

For I say to you, That except your justice abound more than the scribes and Pharisees, ye should not come into the kingdom of the heavens.

Neither shouldst thou swear by thy head, for thou cant not make one hair white or black.

But let your word be Yea, yea, and No, no: but that above this is of evil.

But I say to you, Love your enemies, praise them cursing you, do well to them hating you, and pray for them threatening you, and driving you out.

So that ye might be sons of your Father, which in the heavens: for he makes his sun rise upon evil and good, and rains on the just and unjust.

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye above ordinary? and do not the tax collectors the same?

Therefore, be ye perfected, as your Father which is in the heavens is perfected.

Attend ye not to do your justice before men, to be seen to them; and if otherwise ye have no reward from your Father which in the heavens.

Therefore make not yourselves like them: for your Father knows of what things ye have need before ye ask him.

Therefore so do ye pray: Our Father which in the heavens, Let thy name be declared holy.

Give us this day our bread sufficient for sustenance.

And let go to us our debts, as we let go to our debtors.

For if ye let go to men their faults, your Father which in the heavens will also let go to you.

But if ye should not let go to men their faults, neither will your Father let go your faults.

Treasure not up to you treasures upon earth, where moth and gnawing destroy, and thieves dig through and steal:

But treasure to you treasures in heaven, where neither moth, nor gnawing destroy; and where thieves dig not through, nor steal.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

None can serve two lords: for either he will hate one and love the other; or hold firmly to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

For this I say to you, Be not anxious about your soul, what ye eat, and what ye drink; nor about your body, what ye put on. Is not the soul more than food, and the body than dress?

Look ye upon the fowls of heaven; for they neither sow, nor reap, nor collect into stores; and your heavenly Father nourishes them. Do ye not rather differ from them

And about dress, why are ye anxious? Consider the white lilies of the field, how they grow; they are not wearied, neither do they spin:

Therefore be ye not anxious, saying: What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, What shall we put round us?

For all these the nations seek for; for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these.

Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let go I will cast out the mote from thine eye: and behold a beam in thine eye.

Ye should not give the holy thing to dogs neither should ye cast your pearls before swine, lest they tread them down with their feet, and having turned, should rend yon.

Or what man is of you, which, if his son ask bread, he will not give him a stone?

If ye, therefore, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children how much more will your Father which is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

Enter ye in through the strait gate, for broad the gate and spacious the way leading to destruction, and many are they coming in through it.

For strait the gate and afflicted the way leading into life, and few are they finding it.

And hold from false prophets which come in to you in sheep's dresses, but within they are rapacious wolves.

By their fruits shall ye know them. Far from it, do they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from caltrops

And it was when Jesus finished these words, the crowds were struck with amazement at his teaching:

So that that spoken by Esaias the prophet was completed, saying. He took our weakness, and lifted up diseases.

And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head.

And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost.

And he says to them, Why are ye timorous, ye of little faith? Then having risen, he censured the winds and sea; and there was a great calm.

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee.

And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts?

For why is it easier to say, Sins are let go to thee; or say, Arise and walk?

And the Pharisees, seeing, said to his disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with tax collectors and the sinful?

Neither do they cast new wine into old wineskins: but if otherwise, the wine-skins burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wine-skins are destroyed; but they cast new wine into new wine-skins, and they are both preserved.

Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you.

And their eyes were opened; and Jesus threatened them, saying, See, let none know.

And having seen the crowds, he felt compassion for them, for they were relaxed and dispersed, as sheep not having a shepherd.

And the names of the twelve sent are these: first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, he of Zebedee and John his brother;

Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

And to whatever city or town ye should come in, examine who in it is worthy; and there remain till ye go forth.

And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you.

And whoever should not receive you, nor hear your words, coming out of that house or that city, shake off the cloud of the dust of your feet.

And when they deliver you up, have no care how or what ye should speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.

For ye yourselves are not speaking, but the spirit of your father speaking in you.

What I say to you in darkness, speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the houses.

Are not two little sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the earth without your Father.

And also the hairs of your head are all numbered.

He loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and he loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me.

He said to him, Art thou he coming, or should we look for another?

The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf bear, the dead are roused, and the poor have good news announced.

But what went ye out to see? A man clad in soft garments? but they having soft things are in king's houses.

Then began he to blame the cities in which were his greatest powers, because they repented not.

All things were delivered to me by my Father; and none knows the Son, except the Father; nor knows any one the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal

Lift up my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and humble in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls.

In that time Jesus went in the sabbaths through the standing corn and his disciples were hungry, and begen to pluck the ears, end eat.

Or have ye not read in the law, that in the sabbaths, the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are innocent?

And all the crowds were affected, and said, Is not this the son of David?
