And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah;

But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, - Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of the , Holy, Spirit.

and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, - and he called his name Jesus.

Now, they, hearing the king, went, and lo! the star which they had seen in the east, was going before them, until it went and stood over where the child was;

Now, when they had retired, lo! a messenger of the Lord, appeareth by dream unto Joseph, saying, Arise, take unto thee the child and its mother, and flee into Egypt, and be there, until I tell thee, - for Herod is about to seek the child, to destroy it.

Then Herod, seeing that he had been mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly enraged, - and sent and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men.

But John, himself, had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, - while, his food, was locusts and wild honey.

And, hearing that, John, had been delivered up, he retired into Galilee;

But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, - and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;

And the rain descended, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and rushed against that house, and it fell not; for it had been founded upon the rock.

And, they who were feeding them, fled, - and, departing into the city, reported all things, and what concerned them who had been demonized.

Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men.

But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, - and the maiden arose.

And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples, he passed on from thence, to be teaching and proclaiming in their cities.

Then, began he to upbraid the cities, in which had been done his noblest mighty works; because they repented not: -

Alas for thee, Chorazin! Alas for thee, Bethsaida! Because, if, in Tyre and Zidon, had been done the works of power, which were done in you, of old, in sackcloth and ashes, had they repented.

And, thou, Capernaum! Unto heaven, shalt thou be uplifted? Unto hades, thou shall be brought down; because, if, in Sodom, had been done the works of power, which were done in thee, it would, in that case, have remained until this day.

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

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

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

For, Herod, seizing John, had bound him, and, in prison, put him away, - because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother;

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

And the disciples coming, to the other side, had forgotten to take loaves.

and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, - and payment to be made.

His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, - and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.

Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?

and, when he had agreed with the labourers for a denary the day, he sent them into his vineyard.

But how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, to-day, be working in the vineyard.

But the king, entering to view the guests, saw there a man, who had not put on a wedding-garment, -

In the resurrection, therefore, - Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, all, had her.

Now, the Pharisees, hearing that he had silenced the Sadducees, were brought together with one accord;

and say - If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been their partners in the blood of the prophets:

And, except those days had been shortened, no flesh had been saved; but, for the sake of the chosen, those days shall be shortened.

But there is, one thing, ye know - That, if the householder, had known, in what watch, the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.

Straightway, he who, the five talents, had received, went and traded with them, and gained other five:

But, he who the one had received, went away, and digged up ground, and hid the silver of his lord.

And he who the five talents had received, coming forward, brought other five talents, saying, - Lord! five talents, to me, thou didst deliver up: See! other five talents, I gained.

But he also who, the one talent, had received, coming forward, said - Lord I knew thee, that thou art a, hard, man, reaping, where thou hast not sown, - and gathering, whence thou hast not winnowed;

The Son of Man, indeed, goeth his way, according as it is written concerning him, - But alas! for that man, through whom the Son of Man, is being delivered up: Well, had it been for him, if, that man, had not been born!

And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

Then, Judas who had delivered him up, seeing that he was condemned, being smitten with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver unto the High-priests and Elders,

Then, was fulfilled, that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, as the value of him whom they had valued, whom they had valued, of Israel's sons, -

But, feast by feast, the governor had been wont to release one unto the multitude, a prisoner whom they were desiring.

Now they had at that time a distinguished prisoner, called, Barabbas.

For he knew that, for envy, they had delivered him up.

And, when they had mocked him, they put off him the scarf, and put on him his garments, and led him away unto the crucifying.

and, the tombs, were opened and, many bodies of the holy ones who had fallen asleep, arose, -

Now there were there, many women, from afar, beholding, who indeed had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him;

And, when, evening, arrived, there came a rich man from Arimathaea, whose name was Joseph, who also, himself, had been discipled unto Jesus.

and laid it in his new tomb, which he had hewn in the rock, and, rolling near a large stone unto the door of the tomb, departed.

And lo! a great commotion occurred, - for, a messenger of the Lord, descending out of heaven, and coming near, had rolled away the stone, and was sitting upon it.

Now as they were, going, 1o! certain of the guard, went into the city and reported unto the High-priests all the things that had come to pass;

And, the eleven disciples, went into Galilee, unto the mountain which, Jesus, had appointed them;
