For which is greater, he that reclines at table, or he that serves? Is not he that reclines at table? But I am among you as one that serves.

You are they that have continued with me in my trials;

But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith fail not. And when you have turned to me again, strengthen your brethren.

And they said: Lord, behold, here are two swords. He said to them: It is enough.

When those who were about him saw what would be done, they said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

And a certain one of them struck the servant of the chief priest, and cut off his right ear.

And Jesus answered and said: Let this matter proceed thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him.

While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the authority of darkness.

And after a little, another saw him, and said: You also are one of them. Peter replied: Man, I am not.

If you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them: If I tell you, you will not believe;

And they all said: You are, then, the Son of God? He said to them: You say that I am.

And Pilate asked him, saying: Are you the king of the Jews? He answered and said to him: You say it.

But they were urgent with loud voices, demanding that he should be crucified. And their voices, and those of the chief priests, prevailed.

But Jesus turned, and said to them, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

For, behold, the days are coming in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave suck.

And two others, who were evil-doers, were led out to be put to death with him.

and saying: If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself.

And one of the evil-doers that were hanged reviled him, saying: If you are the Christ, save yourself and us.

But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation?

And we justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.

And it came to pass, while they were much perplexed at this, behold, two men stood by them in shining raiment.

And, behold, two of them were going, on the same day, to a village called Emmaus, distant from Jerusalem sixty furlongs.

And they were talking to one another about all these things which had taken place.

But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not recognize him.

And he said to them: What matters are these which you are discussing with one another as you walk and are sad?

And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said to him: Are you only a stranger in Jerusalem, and have not known the things that have taken place there in these days?

and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

But we trusted that it was he that was about to redeem Israel. And besides all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done.

And further, certain women of our company, who were early at the sepulcher, astonished us:

And some of those who were with us went to the sepulcher, and found it even as the women had said, but him they saw not.

And they drew near the village to which they were going; and he made as if he would go further.

And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he disappeared from them.

And they said one to an other, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

And they arose the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven, and those who were with them, assembled,

And while they were speaking of these things, Jesus him self stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be to you.

But they were terrified and frightened, and thought that they saw a spirit.

And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

And while they did not believe as yet for joy, and were astonished, he said to them: Have you any thing here to eat?

And he said to them: These are the words that I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled that are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

You are witnesses of these things.

and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.

All things were made by him, and without him not one thing was made that now exists.

who were begotten, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him: Who are you?

And they asked him: What then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not. Are you the prophet? And he answered: No.

They then said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what say you of yourself?

And those who were sent were of the Pharisees;

and they asked him, and said to him: Why, then, do you immerse, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?

These things were done in Beth any, beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing.

What do you seek? They said to him: Rabbi, (which, when translated, is called Teacher,) where abidest thou?

He said to them: Come and see. They went and saw where he abode; and they remained with him that day; for it was about the tenth hour.

and he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking on him, said: You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you shall be called Cephas (which, when translated, is Rock).

Nathaniel said to him: How knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig-tree, I saw you.

And both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the marriage.

Now, according to the Jewish custom of purifying, six water-pots of stone had been set there, containing each two or three baths.

And he found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money-changers sit ting.

The Spirit breathes where he pleases, and you hear his voice, but you know not whence he comes, and whither he goes; so is every one that is begotten of the Spirit.

Jesus answered and said to him: Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not understand these things?

Verily, verily, I say to you, we speak that which we know, and testify to that which we have seen; and you receive not our testimony.

And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men have loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

But he that does the truth, comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest that they are done in God.

And John also was immersing in Aenon, near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were immersed;

And they came to John, and said to him: Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you bore testimony, behold, he immerses, and all are going to him.

Then the woman of Samaria said to him: How is it that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? (For the Jews have no social intercourse with the Samaritans.)

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

Jesus said to her: Go, call your husband, and come hither.

for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where we ought to worship.

And upon this his disciples came, and were astonished that he was talking with the woman. Yet no one said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

Do you not say, There are yet four months, and harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, for they are already white for the harvest.

Then Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose sou was sick in Capernaum.

Jesus said to him: Go, your child lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke, and departed.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and said: Your son lives.

Then his father knew that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And he himself, and all his house, believed.

Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed and walk.

The Jews, therefore, said to him that was cured: It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.

He answered them: He that restored me to health said to me, Take up your bed and walk.

Then they asked him: Who is he that said to you, Take up your bed and walk?

Be not astonished at this; for the hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

He was the burning and shining lamp; and you were willing, for a time, to rejoice in his light.

You search the scriptures, because in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify concerning me:

There is a lad here that has five barley loaves, and two little fishes; but what are these among so many?

And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the broken pieces which remain, that nothing be lost.

Therefore, Jesus perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew into the mountain himself alone.

Then, having rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near the ship; and they were afraid.

Then they willingly received him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going.

(but there came other boats from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread, after the Lord had given thanks;)

when, therefore, the multitude saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they also entered the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.

Jesus answered them, and said: Verily, verily I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were satisfied.

Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

Jesus answered and said to them: Murmur not among your selves;

Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and died.

This is the bread that came down from heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; he that eats this bread shall live forever.

Then, what if you should see the Son of man go up where he was before?

It is the spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak to you are spirit and life.

But there are some among you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who he was that would betray him.

Then his brothers said to him: Depart hence, and go into Judea, that your disciples may see your works which you do;

Then Jesus said to them: My time has not yet come; but your time is always ready.

The world can not hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
