he entered into the house of God and, the presence-bread, did eat, which it was not, allowable, for him to eat, nor for them who were with him, - save for the priests, alone?

If, however, ye had known what this meaneth - Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the blameless;

and lo! a man having, a withered hand, and they questioned him, saying, Is it allowable, on the sabbath, to heal? that they might accuse him.

And said unto them, What man, from among yourselves, shall there be, - Who shall have one sheep, and, if this should fall, on the sabbath, into a pit, will not lay hold of it, and raise it?

How much better, then, a man, than, a sheep? So that it is allowable, on the sabbath, nobly, to act.

Then saith he unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand! And he stretched it forth, - and it was restored, whole, as the other.

that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: -

He will not strive, nor will he cry out, nor shall any hear, in the broadways, his voice:

But, the Pharisees, hearing it, said, This one, doth not cast out the demons, save in Beelzebul ruler of the demons.

And, if, Satan, is casting, Satan, out, against himself, hath he become divided, - How then shall, his kingdom, stand?

And, if, I, in Beelzebul, am casting out the demons, In whom are, your sons, casting them out? Wherefore, they, shall be, judges of you.

But, if, in God's Spirit, I, am casting out the demons, then doubtless hath come upon you unawares, the kingdom of God!

And, whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him, - but, whosoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or the coming.

Broods of vipers! How can ye speak, good things, being, evil? For, out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh.

The good man, out of the good treasure, putteth forth, good things; and, the evil man, out of the evil treasure, putteth forth, evil things.

But I say unto you, That, every useless expression that men shall utter, they shall render, concerning it, an account, in a day of judgment;

But, he, answering, said unto them, A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek, and, a sign, will not be, given, it, save the sign of Jonah the prophet.

Men of Nineveh, will rise up in the judgment, with this generation, and will condemn it, - because they repented into the proclamation of Jonah; and lo! something greater than Jonah, here.

The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it - because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.

But, when the impure spirit goeth out of the man, it passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, - and findeth it not.

Then, it saith, Into my house, will I return whence I came out, - and, coming, findeth it empty and swept and adorned.

Then, it goeth, and taketh along with itself, seven diverse spirits, more wicked than itself, - and, entering, abideth there; and, the last state of that man, becometh, worse than the first. So, shall it be, with this, wicked, generation.

While yet he was speaking unto the multitudes, lo! his mother and brethren, were standing without, seeking to speak with him.

On that day, Jesus, going out of the house, was sitting near the sea:

and, as he sowed, some, indeed, fell by the pathway, and, the birds, came, and devoured it;

And, some, fell on the rocky places, where it had not much earth, - and, straightway, it sprang up, because if had no depth of earth;

and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;

And, some, fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it;

And, he, answering, said, Because, unto you, hath it been given, to get to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, - whereas, unto them, hath it not been given.

For, whosoever hath, it shall be given, to him, and he shall be made to abound, - but, whoever hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken from him?

And, again is being fulfilled in them, the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, - They shall, surely hear, and yet will not understand, and, surely see, and yet not perceive;

For, verily, I say unto you - Many prophets and righteous men, have coveted to see what ye see, and have not seen, and to hear what ye hear, and have not heard.

When anyone heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the wicked one cometh, and catcheth up that which hath been sown in his heart, - this, is he, by the pathway, sown.

And, he on the rocky places sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, and, straightway, with joy, receiveth it;

yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season, - and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.

And, he among the thorns sown, the same, is he that, heareth the word, - and, the anxiety of the age and the deceit of riches, choke up the word, and, unfruitful, it becometh.

and, while men were sleeping, his enemy came, and sowed over darnel, in among the wheat, - and away he went.

And the servants of the householder, coming near, said to him, - Sir! was it not, good seed, thou didst sow in thy field? Whence then hath it, darnel?

And he said unto them - An enemy, hath, done this. And they say, unto him - Wilt thou, then, that we go and collect it?

And, he, saith - Nay! lest, at any time, while collecting the darnel, ye uproot, along with it, the wheat:

Suffer both to grow together until the harvest, and at, harvest time, I will say unto the reapers, - Collect ye first, the darnel, and bind it into bundles, with a view to the burning it up; but, the wheat, be gathering it into my barn.

that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying - I will open, in parables, my mouth, I will bring up things hidden from the foundation!

Just, therefore, as collected is the darnel, and, with fire is burned, so, will it be in the conclusion of the age: -

The Son of Man will send forth his messengers, and they will collect, out of his kingdom, all the causes of stumbling, and the doers of lawlessness,

and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.

which, when it was filled, they dragged up on the beach, and, sitting down, collected the good into vessels, but, the worthless, forth they cast.

So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous;

And, he, said unto them - Wherefore, every scribe, discipled unto the kingdom of the heavens, is like unto a householder, who putteth forth out of his treasure, things new and old.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, he removed from thence;

for John had been saying to him, It is not allowed thee, to have her.

And the king, though grieved, yet, because of the oaths and the guests, ordered it to be given;

And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.

And Jesus, hearing it, retired from thence in a boat, into a desert place, apart, - and the multitudes, hearing of it, followed him on foot from the cities.

But, Jesus, said unto them, No need, have they to go away, - give, ye, them to eat.

And they did all eat, and were filled, - and they took up the remainder of the broken pieces, twelve baskets, full.

And, they who did eat, were about five thousand, men, besides women and children.

And, the disciples, seeing him, upon the lake walking, were troubled, - saying - It is, a ghost; and, by reason of their fear, they cried out.

And, straightway, Jesus spake unto them, saying - Take courage! it is, I, - be not afraid.

And, making answer, Peter said unto him, - Lord! if it is, thou, bid me come unto thee, upon the waters.

But, seeing the wind, he was affrighted, and, beginning to sink, cried out, saying - Lord! save me!

And, recognizing him, the men of that place, sent out into all that region, and they brought unto him all who were sick;

Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands, when they eat bread!

But, ye, say - Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother - A gift! Whatsoever, out of me, thou mightest be profited,

Not that which entereth into the mouth, defileth the man, but, that which proceedeth out of the mouth, the same, defileth the man,

while, the things which proceed out of the mouth, out of the heart, come forth, and, they, defile the man.

For, out of the heart, come forth wicked designs, - murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, profane speakings:

And lo! a Canaanite woman, from those bounds, coming forth, began crying out, saying, Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter, is miserably demonized.

But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying - Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.

But, he, answering, said, It is, not seemly, to take the loaf of, the children, and cast, to the little dogs.

And, she, said, True, Lord! for, even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.

Then, answering, Jesus said to her - O woman! great, is, thy faith! Be it, done, for thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was healed, from that hour.

But, Jesus, calling near his disciples, said - My compassions are moved towards the multitude, because even now, three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat, - and, to dismiss them fasting, I am not willing, lest by any means they faint in the way.

And they all did eat and were filled, - and, the remainder of the broken pieces, took they up, seven hampers, full.

And, they who did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.

A wicked and adulterous generation, a sign, doth seek after, and, a sign, will not be given it, - save the sign of Jonah. And, leaving them behind, he departed.

And, observing it, Jesus said - Why are ye deliberating among yourselves, ye little-of-faith! because, loaves, ye have not?

Not yet, perceive ye, neither remember, - The five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye received?

How is it ye perceive not, that, not concerning loaves, spake I unto you, - but beware of the leaven, of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

And Jesus, answering, said to him - Happy, art thou, Simon Bar-yona, - because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

And, I also, unto thee, say - Thou, art Peter, - and, upon this rock, will I build my assembly, and, the gates of hades, shall not prevail against it.

From that time, began Jesus Christ to be pointing out to his disciples that he must needs, into Jerusalem, go away, and, many things, suffer, from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, - and on, the third day, arise.

For, whosoever intendeth, his life, to save, shall lose it, - but, whosoever shall lose his life, for my sake, shall find it.

For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?

and was transformed before them, - and his face shone as the sun, and, his garments, became white as the light.

And Peter, answering, said unto Jesus - Lord! it is, delightful, for us, to be here, - If thou wilt, I will make here three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one.

While yet he was speaking, lo! a brightly shining cloud, overshadowed them, and lo! a voice, out of the cloud, saying - This, is, my Son, the Beloved, in whom I delight, - Be hearkening to him.

And, hearing it, the disciples fell upon their face, and were caused to fear exceedingly.

And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying - Unto no one, may ye tell the vision, until the Son of Man, from among the dead shall arise.

And Jesus rebuked it; and the demon came out of him, - and cured was the boy, from that hour.

Then, the disciples, coming near, to Jesus, privately, said - Wherefore could, we, not cast it out?

And, he, saith unto them - Because of your little faith. For, verily, I say unto you - If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence yonder; and it shall be removed, and, nothing, shall be impossible to you.

He saith - Yea. And, coming into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, How, to thee, doth it seem, Simon? The kings of the earth, of whom receive they dues or tax? from their sons, or from the aliens?

And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,

And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.

Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, - nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!

But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire.

And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna.

How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?

And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you - He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
