and fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him; and he was a Samaritan.

saying, "There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, nor regarded man.

And there was a widow in that city; and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Avenge me of my adversary.'

The Pharisee, having taken his stand, was praying these things with himself: 'God, I thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-collector!

"But the tax-collector, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but was smiting his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'

And, when he heard these things, he became very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.

And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they were not understanding the things being said.

And it came to pass, when He was drawing near to Jericho, that a certain blind man was sitting by the wayside, begging.

And, hearing a multitude passing along, he was inquiring what this might be.

And they told him, that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by.

And instantly he received sight, and was following Him, glorifying God. And all the people, seeing it, gave praise to God.

And, having entered, He was passing through Jericho;

and, behold, a man, called by name Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax-collector; and he was rich.

And he was seeking to see Jesus, Who He was; and was not able on account of the multitude; because he was small in stature.

And, running before, he climbed up into a sycamore tree, that he might see Him; because He was about to pass along that way.

And, as they were hearing these things, adding, He spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was about immediately to appear.

And, having said these things, He was journeying on before, going up to Jerusalem.

And, as He was going forward, they were spreading their garments in the way.

And, as He was already drawing nigh to the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they saw;

And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the high priests and the scribes and the chief men of the people were seeking to destroy Him;

And it came to pass, on one of the days, as He was teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming the Gospel, that there came upon Him the high priests and the scribes with the elders,

The immersion of John, was it from Heaven, or of men?"

and if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us; for they are persuaded that John was a prophet."

And they answered that they knew not whence it was;

And He was, during the days, in the temple, teaching; and, during the nights, going forth, He was wont to lodge in the mount which is called Olives.

Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was drawing near;

And he agreed, and was seeking an opportunity to deliver Him up to them, in the absence of a multitude.

And they began to inquire together among themselves, which of them it was, who was about to perpetrate this thing.

For I say to you, that that which has been written must be accomplished in Me, 'And He was reckoned with lawless ones;' for that which relates to Me has an end."

And He was parted from them about a stone's throw; and, kneeling down, He prayed,

And, being in an agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became, as it were, large drops of blood falling down upon the ground!

While He was yet speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who is called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

And, about one hour having intervened, a certain other was confidently insisting, saying, "Of a truth this one also was with Him; for he also is a Galilaean."

But Peter said, "Man, I know not what you are saying." And immediately, while he was yet speaking, a cock crowed.

And, taking it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and placed Him in a tomb, hewn in a stone, where no one was yet laid.

And it was a day of Preparation, and a sabbath was approaching.

And the women who had accompanied Him out of Galilee, following after, beheld the tomb, and how His body was laid.

He is not here, but was raised. Remember how He spake to you, being yet in Galilee,

And, behold, two of them that very day were journeying to a village, the name of which was Emmaus, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem.

And it came to pass, while they were conversing and reasoning together, that Jesus Himself, drawing near, was journeying with them;

And He said to them, "What things?" And they said to Him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet, mighty in deed and word, before God and all the people:

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him, and apart from Him was not even one thing made that has been made.

In Him was Life; and the Life was the light of men.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

He was not the Light; but he came, that he might testify concerning the Light.

He was the true Light That lighteth every man coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world knew Him not.

John testifies concerning Him, and has cried, saying, "This was He of Whom I said, 'He That cometh after me hath become before me, because He was before me;'"

He saith to them, "Come and ye shall see." They came, therefore, and saw where He was abiding, and they abode with Him that day: it was about the tenth hour.

The Jews, therefore, said, "In forty-six years this temple was built, and wilt Thou raise it up in three days?"

But He was speaking about the temple of His body.

When, therefore, He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word that Jesus spake.

And, when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on His name, beholding His signs which He was doing.

Now there was a man of the Pharisees, whose name was Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
