'Woe to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming in, ye did hinder.'

and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven.

'Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign;

and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of him.

And there were present certain at that time, telling him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their sacrifices;

And he spake this simile: 'A certain one had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and he did not find;

and Jesus having seen her, did call her near, and said to her, 'Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'

and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its branches.'

It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'

then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach;

'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and ye did not will.

and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with shame to occupy the last place.

And he said also to him who did call him, 'When thou mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends, nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to thee;

having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee,

and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called thy son.

because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry.

and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did receive him back.

and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might make merry;

but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf.

but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost, and was found.'

'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.

And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'

Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things directed? I think not.

and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn back, with a loud voice glorifying God,

There were not found who did turn back to give glory to God, except this alien;'

And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them,

And he said, 'All these I did keep from my youth;'

And Peter said, 'Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'

and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.

and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;

And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'

And Jesus said unto him -- 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.

'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;

'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!

but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'

having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring it;

and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.

And they reasoned with themselves, saying -- 'If we may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not believe him?

and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but the husbandmen having beat him, did send him away empty.

'And he added to send another servant, and they that one also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty;

and he added to send a third, and this one also, having wounded, they did cast out.

but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are they given in marriage;

'And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob;

and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all live to Him.'

And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts to the treasury -- rich men,

and he said, 'Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did cast in more than all;

for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living that she had, did cast in.'

'And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments, then know that come nigh did her desolation;

and he said unto them, 'With desire I did desire to eat this passover with you before my suffering,

and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a kingdom,

And the Lord said, 'Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did ask you for himself to sift as the wheat,

And he said to them, 'When I sent you without bag, and scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said, 'Nothing.'

while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of the darkness.'

And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- 'Before a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;'

and they said, 'What need yet have we of testimony? for we ourselves did hear it from his mouth.'

And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him to Pilate,

And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he was wishing for a long time to see him, because of hearing many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done by him,

and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did send him back to Pilate,

And he a third time said unto them, 'Why, what evil did he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him, then, I will release him.'

for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give suck;

and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;'

And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify God, saying, 'Really this man was righteous;'

and all the multitudes who were come together to this sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their breasts did turn back;

and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things.

-- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting the reign of God,

and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, 'Why do ye seek the living with the dead?

And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.

And he said to them, 'What things?' And they said to him, 'The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the people,

how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;

and they constrained him, saying, 'Remain with us, for it is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to remain with them.

and having taken, he did eat before them,

and he said to them -- 'Thus it hath been written, and thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of the dead the third day,

And he led them forth without -- unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them,

and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to Jerusalem with great joy,

all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.

and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.

in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:

to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;

but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God -- to those believing in his name,

And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;

for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father -- he did declare.

and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- 'I am not the Christ.'

and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;

This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

And his disciples remembered that it is written, 'The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;'

when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.

'And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up,

for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through him;

'And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing;

he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is true;

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'
