And a passover as this was not done in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and all the kings of Israel did not like the passover which Josiah did, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel being found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulon, were not cleansed, for they ate the Passover not as written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, Jehovah the good will expiate in behalf Of every one preparing his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, and not according to the purification of the holy place.

And the king of Aram was warring against Israel, and he counseled with his servants, saying, To such a certain place my encampments And the man of God will send to the king of Israel, saying, Watch from passing through this place, for there Aram encamps.

And they will come down to him, and Elisha will pray to Jehovah, and say, Strike now, this nation with blindness. And he will strike them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha. And Elisha will say to them, This not the way, and this not the city: go ye after me, and I will take you to the man whom ye will seek. And he will cause them to go to Shomeron. And it will be when they came to Shomeron, and Elisha will say to Jehovah, Open the eyes of these, and they shall see. And Jehovah will open their eyes, and they will see; and behold, in the midst of Shomeron. And the king of Israel will say to Elisha when he saw them, Shall I strike? shall I strike, my father? And he will say, Thou shalt not strike: whom thou tookest captive with thy sword and with thy bow; strikest thou? set bread and water before them, and they shall eat and drink and go to their lord. And he will purchase for them a great purchase: and they will eat and drink, and he will send them, and they will go to their lord.

And Peter sat without in the court-yard, and one young girl came to him saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. And he denied before all, saying, I know not what thou sayest. And he having gone out into the gate, another saw him, and she says to them there, This also was with Jesus the Nazarite. read more.
And again he denied with an oath, That I know not the man. And a little after, those standing, having come near, said to Peter, Truly thou also art of them; for also thy speech makes thee manifest. Then began he to anathematize, and to swear, That I know not the man: and quickly the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, having said to him, That before the cock utter a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And having gone forth without, he wept bitterly.

And they having held Jesus, brought to Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and elders were gathered together. And Peter followed him from far, even to the court-yard of the chief priest, and having entered within, he sat with the attendants, to see the end.

And Peter being in the hall how, one of the chief priest's young girls comes: And seeing Peter warming himself, having looked upon him, she says, And thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. And he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand what thou sayest. And he went forth without into the vestibule; and the cock uttered a sound. read more.
And the young girl seeing him again, began to say to, them standing by, That this is of them: and again he denied. And after a little, again they standing by said to Peter, Truly thou art of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like. And he began to anathematize and swear, That I know not this man of whom ye speak. And of the second time the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake to him, That before the cock utter a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And throwing blame, he wept.

And Simon Peter was standing, and warming himself. Then said they to him, Art thou not also of his disciples he denied, and said, I am not. Says one of the chief priest's servants, being of his family whose ear Peter cut off, Saw I not thee in the garden with him? Then Peter again denied: and quickly the cock uttered a sound.

And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light.

And having taken, they brought him into the house of the chief priest. And Peter followed him far off. And having kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and they having sat down together, Peter sat down in the midst of them. And a certain young girl having seen him sitting by the light, and looked intently upon him, said, And this was with him. read more.
And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not. And after a little another having seen him, said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not. And about the space of one hour a certain other assured himself, saying, Of a truth this also was with him: for he is a Galilean. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, he yet speaking, the cock uttered a sound. And the Lord having turned, looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him, That before the cock utters a sound, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter having come forth without wept bitterly.

And led him away to Annas first; for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the chief priest that year. And Caiaphas was he having connselled the Jews, that it is profitable for one man to be destroyed for the people. And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple: and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and came together with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest. read more.
And Peter stood before the door without. Then went out the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and spake to her guarding the door, and brought in Peter. Then says the young girl guarding the door to Peter, Art not thou also of this man's disciples? He says, I am not. And the servants and attendants stood, having made a heap of burning coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.


And Pilate having called together the chief priests and rulers and people, Said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as perverting the people: and, behold, I having examined him before you, have found nothing blameworthy in this man, of what things ye bring an accusation against him: But neither Herod: for I sent you forth to him; and, behold, nothing worthy of death is done to him. read more.
Therefore, having chastised him, I will release. (And he had necessity to loose one at the festival.) And they cried out with the entire multitude, saying, Take this away, and loose to us Barabbas: (Who was for a certain sedition having been in the city, and slaughter, cast into prison.) Again Pilate called, wishing to loose Jesus. And they exclaimed, saying, Crucify, crucify him. And he said to them the third time, For what evil has he done I have found no cause of death in him: therefore, having corrected him, I will loose. And they were urgent with great voices, asking for him to be crucified. And their voices and the chief priests' overcame. And Pilate sanctioned their asking to be done. And he loosed to them him cast into prison for sedition, and slaughter, which they demanded; and delivered Jesus to their will.

And in the festival the leader was accustomed to loose one imprisoned to the crowd, which they desired. And they had then an imprisoned distinguished, called Barabbas. Therefore they assembled together, Pilate laid to them, Whom will ye I shall loose to you? Barabbas, or Jesus, called Christ? read more.
For he knew that through envy, they had delivered him, up. And he sitting upon the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, Nothing to thee and that just one: for I have suffered this day many things in a dream, on his account. And the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. And the leader having answered, said to them, Which of the two will ye I shall loose to you? And they said, Barabbas. Pilate says to them, What then shall I do with Jesus, called Christ? They all say to him, Let him be crucified., And the leader said, For what evil hath he done? and they cried excessively, saying, Let him be crucified. And Pilate, seeing that it profits nothing, but there is rather an uproar, having taken water, he washed his hands before the crowd, saying, I am guiltless of the blood of this just one: ye shall see yourselves. And all the people having answered, said, His blood upon us, and upon our children. Then he loosed to them Barabbas: and having scourged Jesus, delivered him up, that, he might be crucified.

And at the festival he loosed to them one in bonds, whomsoever they asked. And there was he called Barabbas, bound with those exciting sedition, who did murder in the revolt. And the crowd having cried, began to ask as he did always to them. read more.
And Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye I loose to you the King of the Jews? For he knew that through envy the chief priests had delivered him up: And the chief priests moved the crowd, that he would rather loose Barabbas to them. And Pilate having answered, again said to them, What then will ye I should do to him whom ye call King of the Jews? And again they cried out, Crucify him. And Pilate said to them, But what evil has he done? And they cried out more excessively, Crucify him. And Pilate, willing to satisfy the crowd, loosed to them Barabbas, and delivered Jesus, having scourged, that he might be crucified.

But a custom is to you, that I loose one to you in the pascha: will ye therefore I should loose to you the King of the Jews Then cried they all again, saying, Not this, but Barabbas: and Barabbas was a robber.

Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers having twined a crown of thorns, put upon his head, and they put round him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they gave him blows with a rod. read more.
Then again went out Pilate without, and says to them, See, I lead him to you without, that ye might know that in him I find no fault. Then went forth Jesus without, bearing a crown of thorns, and a purple garment. And he says to them, Behold the man! When therefore the chief priests and attendants saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify, crucify. Pilate says to them, Take ye him, and crucify; for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, for he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard this word, he was more afraid: And went into the pretorinm again, and says to Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then says Pilate to him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to loose thee. Jesus answered, Thou bast no power against me, if it were not given thee from above: therefore he delivering me to thee has greater sin. From this Pilate sought to loose him: and the Jews cried out, saying, If thou loose this, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one making himself a king speaks against Caesar. Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the pascha, and about the sixth hour: and he says to the Jews, Behold your King! And they cried, Take away, take away, crucify him. Pilate says to them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then, therefore, delivered he him to them, that he might be crucified.


And Peter being in the hall how, one of the chief priest's young girls comes: And seeing Peter warming himself, having looked upon him, she says, And thou wast with Jesus the Nazarene. And he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand what thou sayest. And he went forth without into the vestibule; and the cock uttered a sound. read more.
And the young girl seeing him again, began to say to, them standing by, That this is of them: and again he denied. And after a little, again they standing by said to Peter, Truly thou art of them: for thou art a Galilean, and thy speech is like. And he began to anathematize and swear, That I know not this man of whom ye speak. And of the second time the cock uttered a sound. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus spake to him, That before the cock utter a sound twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And throwing blame, he wept.

And he yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd, with swords, and sticks, from the chief priests, and the more ancient of the people. And he delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he: hold him firmly. And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him. read more.
And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what comest thou? Then having come near, they put hands upon Jesus, and held him firmly. And, behold, one of them with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, pulled out his sword, having struck the chief priest's servant, took away his ear. Then says Jesus to him, Turn back thy sword to its place: for all they having taken the sword, shall perish by the sword. Thinkest thou that I am not able to call to my Father for aid, and he will set before me more than twelve legions of messengers? How then would the writings be filled up, that so it must be? In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me. But this has been wholly that the writings of the prophets might be filled up. Then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

And quickly, he yet speaking, Judas approaches, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and scribes and the more ancient. And he delivering him up gave them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, this is he; seize him, and lead away safely. And having come, quickly having approached him, he says, Rabbi, rabbi; and kissed him. read more.
And they put their hands on him, and seized him. And a certain one of them standing by, having drawn a sword, struck the chief priest's servant, and took away his ear. And Jesus having answered, said to them, As against a robber come ye out, with swords and sticks to take me Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the writings might be completed. And having left him, they all fled. And one certain young man followed him, having cast a garment of fine linen over his nakedness; and the young men seized him: And having left the fine linen garment, he fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the pontificate: and all the chief priests and elders and scribes came with him. And Peter followed him from far, even to within the court-yard of the chief priest: and he was sitting with the attendants, and warming himself near the light.

And he yet speaking, Behold a crowd, and he called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? And they about him, having seen that, going to be, said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword read more.
And a certain one of them struck a servant of the chief priest, and took away his right ear. And Jesus having answered said, Allow ye even to this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. And Jesus said to the chief priests, and generals of the temple, and the elders, having come to him, Have ye come out, as upon a robber, with sword and sticks? I being with you daily in the temple, ye stretched not forth the hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

And Judas also knew the place, he delivering him up: for Jesus was many times gathered there with his disciples. Then Judas, having taken a band and attendants from the chief priests and Pharisees, comes there with lights and torches and weapons. Jesus then, knowing all coming upon him, having come out, said to them, Whom seek ye read more.
They answered him, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus says to them, I am. And Judas also, he delivering up, was standing with them. Then, when he said to them, That I am, they went away backward, and fell to the ground. Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus the Nazarite. Jesus answered, I said to you, that I am: if then ye seek me, leave these to retire: That the word might be completed which he spake, That whom thou hast given me, I lost none of them. Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. And the name to the servant was Malchus. Then said Jesus to Peter, Put thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it Then the band and captain of a thousand and attendants of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,


Am I not sent? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are ye not my work in the Lord


And he said, The God of our fathers took thee in hand, to know his will, and to see the Just, and hear the voice from his mouth.

But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for, for this was I sent to thee, to take thee in hand, a servant and witness both of what things thou sawest, and of what I shall be seen to thee;

And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Take courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou also testify at Rome.

And in going, it was he drawing near to Damascus: and suddenly a light from heaven flashed with lightning around him: And having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, Why drivest thou me out? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom thou drivest out: hard for thee to kick against goads. read more.
And he trembling and amazed said, Lord, What wilt thou me to do? And the Lord to him, Arise, and come into the city, and it shall be spoken to thee what thou must do. And the men journeying with him stood astonished, hearing the voice truly, and seeing no one. And Saul was raised up from the earth; and his eyes being opened, he saw no one: and leading him by the hand, they brought him to Damascus. And he was three days not seeing, and he ate not, nor drank. And a certain disciple was in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I, Lord. And the Lord to him, Having risen, go thou to the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas Saul by name, of Tarsus; for, behold, he prays, And he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and having put hand upon him, so that he might look up and see again. And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he did to thy holy ones in Jerusalem: And here has he authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name. And the Lord said to him, Go: for he is a vessel of choice to me, to lift up my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel: For I will show him what he must suffer for my name. And Ananias departed, and came into the house; and having put hands upon him said, Brother Saul, the Lord has sent me, Jesus, he seen to thee in the way which thou earnest, so that thou mightest look up, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.


And saw him saying to me, Hasten, and come quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony of me.


Jesus having said these, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Kedron, where was a garden, into which he came, he and his disciples.

And having sung, they went forth to the mount of Olives.

And having sung, they came out to the mount of Olives.

Then comes Jesus with them into the place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here, till I, having gone, shall pray. And having taken Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved, and to be dejected. Then says he to them, My soul is sorely grieved, even to death: remain here, and watch ye with me. read more.
And having gone forward a little, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: but not as I will, but as thou. And he comes to his disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, So were ye not able to watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, lest ye come into temptation: truly the spirit of a ready will, and the flesh weak. Again of a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, My Father if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, let thy will be. And having gone he finds them again sleeping: for their eyes were loaded. And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed of the third time, speaking the same word. Then comes he to his disciples, and says to them, Sleep for the remaining time, and take rest: behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man is delivered into the hands of the sinful. Be aroused, let us lead forth; behold, he delivering me up, has drawn near.

And they came to a place, the name of which Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit here, while I shall pray. And he takes Peter and James and John with himself, and began to be amazed, and to be dejected. And he says to them, My soul is sorely grieved, even to death: remain here, and watch. read more.
And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth and prayed that, if it be possible, the hour might pass away from him. And he said, Abba, Father, all things possible to thee; turn away this cup from me: but not what I will, but what thou. And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldeat thou not watch one Hour? Watch ye and pray, that ye should not come into temptation. Truly the spirit well inclined, and the flesh weak. And again having gone away, he prayed; saying the same word. And having turned back, he found them again sleeping, (for their eyes were loaded,) and they knew not what they might answer him. And he comes the third time, and says to them, Sleep the remaining time, and take rest: it is sufficient, the hour has come; behold, the Son of man is delivered into the hands of the sinful. Arise, and let us lead; behold, he delivering me up has drawn near.

And having come out, he went, according to custom, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples followed him. And being at the place, he said to them, Pray ye not to enter into temptation. And he was removed from them about a stone's cast, and having placed the knees, he prayed, read more.
Saying, Father, If thou art willing, turn aside this cup from me: but not my will, but thine, be done. And a messenger was seen to him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in a violent struggle, he prayed more intently: and his sweat was as clots of blood coming down upon the earth. And having risen from prayer, having come to his disciples, he found them sleeping from grief; And he said to them, Why sleep ye? having risen, pray that ye might not enter into temptation.


And being evening, then there came a rich man from Arimathea, Joseph by name, who also himself was a disciple to Jesus: He having come to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered the body to be given back. And Joseph having taken the body, inwrapped it in clean fine linen: read more.
And put it in his new tomb, which he quarried in the rock: and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he departed. And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb. And in the morrow, which is after the preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together to Pilate Saying, Lord, we remember that that impostor said, yet living, After three days, I arise. Order therefore, the tomb to be rendered secure till the third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, should steal him, and say to the people, He was raised from the dead; and the last error shall be worse than the first. And Pilate said to them, Ye have a watch: retire, render secure as ye know. And they, having gone, rendered the tomb secure, having sealed the stone with the watch.

And being already evening, for it was the preparation, which is before sabbath, Joseph came from Arimathea, a distinguished counsellor, who also himself was expecting the kingdom of God, having ventured, he went in to Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate wondered if he were already dead: and having called the centurion, he asked him if he had been dead long ago. read more.
And having known from the centurion, he bestowed the body to Joseph. And having bought fine linen, and taken him down, he rolled in fine linen, and placed him in a tomb, which was quarried out of a rock, and he rolled a stone at the door of the tomb. And Mary Magdalene and Mari of Joses were beholding where he is laid.

And, behold, a man Joseph by name, being a counsellor; good and just: (The same was not set together in the counsel and deed of them;) from Arimathea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. The same having come to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus. read more.
And having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and put it in a tomb cut in stone, where none was ever laid. And the day was the preparation, and the sabbath shone forth. And the women having followed, which had come to him out of Galilee, saw the tomb, and how his body was laid. And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumed oils; and truly the sabbath were they at rest according to the command.

Then the Jews, that the bodies remain not upon the cross in the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for great was the day of that sabbath,) asked Pilate that their legs be broken, and they be taken away. Then came the soldiers, and truly brake the legs of the first, and of the other crucified with him. And upon having come to Jesus, when they saw him already dead, they brake not his legs: read more.
But one of the soldiers with a javelin pricked his side, and quickly came out blood and water. And he having seen has testified, and his testimony is true: and he knows that he says true, that ye might believe. For these were that the writing be completed, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another writing. says, They shall look on whom they goaded. And after these, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, in secret, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might takeaway the body of Jesus: and Pilate conceded. He came then, and took the body of Jesus.. And Nicodemus also came, he having come to Jesus at first by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred pounds. Then took they the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen bandages with spices, as the custom is to the Jews to prepare a body for interment. And in the place where he was crucified, was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was ever laid. There, therefore, on account of the Jews' preparation, because the tomb was near, they laid Jesus.


And they eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. And they being greatly grieved, began each of them to say to him, Far from it am I, O Lord: And he having answered, said, He having dipped with me the hand in the small dish, the same shall deliver me up. read more.
Truly the Son of man retires as has been written concerning him; and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it was good for him if that man had not been born. And Judas delivering him up, having answered, said, Far from it, am I, Rabbi? He said to him, Thou hast said.

And they reclining and eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, That one of you shall deliver me up, he eating with me. And they began to be grieved, and to say to him one by one, What, not I? and another, What, not I? And he having answered, said to them, One of the twelve, he dipping with me into the small dish. read more.
Truly the Son of man retires, as has been written of him: and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it were good for him if that man had not been born.

But, behold, the hand of him delivering me up with me at the table. And truly the Son of man goes according to that determined: but woe to that man by whom he is delivered up! And they began to seek together among themselves, which of them it should be that was about to do this thing.

These things Jesus having spoken, was troubled in spirit, and he testified, and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. Then looked the disciples one upon another, being perplexed of whom he spake. And there was one of his disciples reclining on the bosom of Jesus, whom he loved. read more.
Then Simon Peter nodded to this one, to inquire who it might be of whom he speaks. And he reclining upon Jesus' breast says to him, Lord, who is it? Jesus answers, This is he to whom I, having dipped a small morsel, shall bestow. And having dipped the small morsel, he gives to Judas Iscariot, of Simon. And after the small morsel then came Satan into him. Then says Jesus to him, What thou doest, do quickly. And this none of the reclining knew for what he said to him. For some thought, since Judas had the small coffer, that Jesus says to him, Purchase of what we have need for the festival; or, that he might give something to the poor. He having taken the small morsel went quickly forth: and it was night when he then went forth.


And when they mocked him, they put off from him the loose, warm cloak, and put on him his garments, and brought him away to crucify. And coming, they found a man, a Cyrenian, Simon by name; they compelled him that he should lift up his cross. And having come, to the place called Golgotha, which is called the place of the skull, read more.
They gave him vinegar to drink. (mingled with bile: and having tasted, he would not drink.

And when they mocked him, they put off the purple from him, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him out that they might crucify him. And they constrain a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, passing by, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and Rufus, that he might take up his cross. And they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, interpreted, The place of a skull. read more.
And they gave him wine to drink, prepared with myrrh: and he took not.

And as they led him away, seizing upon Simon, a certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they laid the cross upon him, to carry after Jesus. And a great multitude of people followed him, and of women, and who were lamenting bitterly, and bewailing him. And having turned towards them Jesus said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. read more.
For, behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Happy the barren, and the wombs which never brought forth, and the breasts which gave not suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall upon us; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these in the moist tree, what should be in the dry And two others who were led, evil doers, to be lifted up with him.

Then, therefore, delivered he him to them, that he might be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led away: and bearing his cross he went out into a place called Kranium, which in Hebraic is called Golgotha:


And having been morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to kill him: And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader.

And Jesus stood before the leader: and the leader asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? Jesus said to him, Thou sayest. And in the accusing him by the chief priests and the more ancient, he answered nothing. Then says Pilate to him, Hearest thou not what they witness against thee? read more.
And he answered him not to one word: so that the leader wondered greatly.

And quickly the chief priests having made counsel with the more ancient and scribes and the whole council, having bound Jesus, led away, and delivered to Pilate. And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And having answered, he said to him, Thou sayest. And the chief priests accused him much. read more.
And Pilate again asked him, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how much they accuse thee. And Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate wondered.

And all the multitude of them having risen, brought him to Pilate. And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a King. And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou King of the Jews? And he having answered, said to him, Thou sayest. read more.
And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, I find nothing blameworthy in this man. And they were strong, saying, That he stirs up the people, teaching through the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee to here.

Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas to the pretorium: and it was early morning; and they came not into the pretorium, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the pascha. Then went Pilate out to them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man They answered and said to him, If he were not injurious, we had not delivered him to thee. read more.
Then said Pilate to them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. Then said the Jews to him, It is not lawful for us to kill any one: That the word of Jesus might be completed which he spake, giving a sign by what death he was about to die. Then came Pilate again into the pretorium, and asked Jesus, and said to him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Of thyself sayest thou this, or did others tell thee of me? Pilate answered, Much less am I a Jew; thy nation and the chief priests have delivered thee to me: What didst thou? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, my servants had contended, that I be not delivered to the Jews; and now my kingdom is not hence. Then said Pilate to him, Art thou not then king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world, that I testify to the truth. Every one being of the truth hears my voice. Pilate says to him, What is truth? And having said this, again went he out to the Jews, and says to them, I find no fault in him.


And the chief priests, and the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put him to death; And they found not: and many false witnesses having come near, they found not. And afterwards two false witnesses, having come near, said, This said, I can loosen the temple of God, and after three days build it. read more.
And the chief priest, having risen, said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these witness against thee? But Jesus was silent. And the chief priest having answered, said to him, I cause thee to swear by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art Christ, the Son of God. And Jesus says to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, from henceforth ye shall see the Son of man, sitting from the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the chief priest tore his garments, saying, That he blasphemed: what further need have we of witnesses? see, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What seems to you? And they having answered, said, He is liable to the penalty of death. Then did they spit in his face, and cuffed him, and struck him with a rod: Saying, Prophesy to us, O Christ, Who is he having struck thee

And the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus, to put him to death; and found not: For many testified falsely against him, and the testimonies were not alike. And certain having risen up testified falsely against him, saying, read more.
That we heard him saying, That I will abolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will I build another, made without hands. And neither so was their testimony alike. And the chief priest having risen up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what these testify against thee And he was silent, and answered nothing. Again the chief priest asks him, and says to him, Art thou Christ, Son of the Praised And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting from the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven. And the chief priest, having rent his tunic, says, What further need have we of witnesses Ye have heard the blasphemy; How does it appear to you? And they all condemned him to be liable to the penalty of death. And certain began to spit upon him, and to cover his face, and to cuff him, and to say to him, Prophesy: and the attendants struck him blows with rods.

And the men holding Jesus mocked him, stripping. And having covered him, they struck his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy who it is having struck thee. And many other things, blaspheming, they spake against him. read more.
And when it was day, the council of elders of the people was gathered together, and the chief priests and scribes, and they brought him to their council, Saying, Art thou Christ? tell us. And he said to them, If I tell you, ye would not believe: And if I ask you, ye would not answer me, or loose me. From now shall the Son of man be sitting from the right hand of the power of God. And they all said, Art thou therefore the Son of God? And he said to them, Ye say that I am. And they said, Why have we yet need of testimony? for we ourselves have heard from his month.

Then the chief priest asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching. Jesus answered him, I spake with freedom of speech to the world: I always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews were always come together; and I spake nothing in secret. Why askest thou me? ask those having heard, what I said to them: see, they know what I said.


And having crucified him, they divided his garments among them, casting lot: that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up: They divided among them my garments, and upon my clothing they cast lot. And sitting down, they observed him there. And they set above his head his accusation, having been written: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. read more.
Then were crucified with him two robbers; one from the right hand, and the other from the left. And they coming near, blasphemed him, shaking their heads, And saying, He loosing the temple, and building in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross. And likewise also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said, Others he saved; himself he cannot save. If he is King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him: He trusted upon God; let him now deliver him, if he desires him: for he said, That I am the Son of God. And the robbers crucified with him, reproached him with the same. And from the sixth hour, darkness was upon all the earth, even to the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a great voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani I this is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them standing there, having heard, said, That he calls Elias. And quickly one of them, having run, and taken a sponge, and filled with vinegar, and put upon a reed, gave him to drink. And the rest said, Let go: we should see if Elias comes, going to save him. And Jesus, again having cried with a great voice, let go the spirit. And, behold, the covering of the temple was cleft in two, from above to below; and the earth was shaken; and the rocks were cleft: And the tombs were opened: and many bodies of the holy ones, having been set to sleep, were raised, And having come forth from the tombs, after his arising, went into the holy city, and were exhibited to many. And the centurion, and they with him, observing Jesus, having seen the shaking, and the things having been, were greatly afraid, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. And many women were there, beholding from far off, who followed Jesus out of Galilee, serving him: Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

And having crucified him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon what any should take up. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him: And the inscription of his accusation was inscribed above, THE KING OF THE JEWS. read more.
And with him they crucify two robbers; one from the right, and one from the left. And the writing was completed, saying, And he was reckoned with the lawless. And they going by blasphemed him, shaking their heads, and saying, Ali, thou loosing the temple, and building in three days, Save thyself, and come down from the cross. And likewise also the chief priests, mocking to one another with the scribes, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ, King of Israel, come down from the cross, that we might see and believe. And they crucified with him reproached him. And being the sixth hour, darkness was upon the whole earth till the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, for what hast thou forsaken me? And some of them standing by, having heard, said, Behold, he calls Elias. And one running and having filled a sponge with vinegar, and put round a reed, gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see if Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus having let go a great voice, expired. And the veil of the temple was split in two from above to below. And the centurion, standing over against him, having seen that having so cried out he expired, said, Truly this man was the Son- of God. And women also were beholding from far: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James the small and the mother of Joses, and Salome; (And they, when he was in Galilee, followed him and served him;) and many other women, having come up with him to Jerusalem.

And when they came to the place called Kranium, there they crucified him, and the evil doers, truly one from the right, and one from the left. And Jesus said, Father, let them go; for they know not what they do. And having divided his garments, they cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also who with them were deriding, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he is Christ, the chosen of God. read more.
And the soldiers also mocked him, approaching, and bringing him vinegar. And saying, If thou art king of the Jews, save thyself. And there was also an inscription written upon him, in letters Greek, Roman, and Hebrew; THIS IS KING OF THE JEWS. And one of the evil doers hanged, blasphemed him, saying, If thou art Christ, save thyself and us. And the other having answered, censured him, saying, Shouldest thou not fear God, for thou art in the same judgment? And truly we justly; for we receive things worthy of what we have done: and this has done nothing out of place. And he said to Jesus, Remember me, Lord, when thou shouldest come into thy kingdom. And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise. And it was about the sixth hour, and darkness was upon all the earth till the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the covering of the temple was split in the middle. And Jesus having cried with a great voice, said, Father, into thy hands will I commit my spirit: and having said these, he expired. And the centurion having seen that having been done, honoured God, saying, Surely this man was just. And all the crowds having been to this viewing, seeing the things done, striking their breasts, returned. And all his acquaintance stood afar off, and the women having followed him together from Galilee, seeing these.

Where they crucified him, and with him two others, hence and thence, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate also wrote a title, and put upon the cross. And it was written, JESUS THE NAZARITE, KING OF THE JEWS. Then read many of the Jews this title: for the place was near the city where Jesus was crucified: and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, Roman. read more.
Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written, I have written. Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part: and also the coat: and the coat was unsewn through the whole, having been woven from above. Then said they to one another, Let us not divide it, but let us draw lots for it, whose it shall be: that the writing might be completed, saying, They divided my garments to themselves, and upon my clothing cast they the lot. Then truly did the soldiers these things. And by the cross of Jesus stood his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus then having seen the mother, and the disciple standing near, whom he loved, says to his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then says he to the disciple, Behold thy mother And from that hour the disciple took her to his own. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were already completed, that the writing might be finished, says, I thirst. Then was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they having filled a sponge with vinegar, put upon hyssop, and brought near to his mouth. When Jesus therefore took the vinegar, he said, It has been finished: and having bent the head, he delivered up the spirit.


And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sends two of his disciples, And says to them, Retire into the town over against you : and quickly going into it, ye shall find a colt tied, upon which none of men has sat; having loosed, bring him. And if any say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord has need of him; and quickly will he send him here. read more.
And they went away, and found the colt tied to the door without by the road, and they loose him. And certain standing there said to them, What do ye, loosing the colt ? And they said as Jesus charged them : and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon him, and he sat upon him. And many strewed their garments in the way : and others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed in the way. And they going before, and they following, cried, saying, Osanna; praised he coming in the name of the Lord : Praised the kingdom coming in the name of the Lord of our father David : Osanna in the highest ones. And Jesus came into Jerusalem, and into the temple : and having looked around upon all things, the hour being already coming, he went into Bethany with the twelve.

And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying to them, Go ye into the town opposite to us, and quickly shall ye find an ass bound, and a colt with her; having loosed, bring to me. And if any one say to you, Why? ye shall say, That the Lord has need of them; and quickly will he send them. read more.
And the whole of this was, that that spoken by the prophet be completed; saying, Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and a colt, son of a beast of burthen. And the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus commanded them, Brought the ass, and colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat over them. And a very great crowd strewed their garments in the way; and others cut down young shoots from the trees, and strewed in the way. And the crowds leading before, and following, cried, saying, Osanna to the son of David: he coming in the name of the Lord being praised; Osanna in the highest ones. And he having come to Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this? And the crowds said, This is Jesus, the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.

And it was as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount called of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, Having said, Retire ye to the opposite town; in which entering, ye shall find a colt bound, upon which none of men at any time have sat: having loosed, bring him. And if any ask you, Wherefore loose ye? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of him. read more.
And the sent, having departed, found as he said to them. And they loosing the colt, his lords said to them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord has need of him. And they brought him to Jesus: and having cast their garments upon the colt, they placed Jesus upon. And he going, they laid down their garments in the way. And he already drawing near to the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God with a great voice for all the powers which they saw; Saying, Praised the king coming in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest ones. And certain of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, censure thy disciples. And having answered, he said to them, I say to you that if these should be silent, the stones shall cry out. And as he drew near, having seen the city, he wept over it, Saying, That if thou knewest, also thou, and also in this thy day, the things for thy peace! and now have they been hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides, And they shall level thee with the ground, and thy children in thee; they shall not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the time of thine inspection.

The morrow a great crowd, having come to the festival, having heard that Jesus comes to Jerusalem, Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to the meeting to him, and cried, Praised he coming in the name of the Lord, King of Israel. And Jesus having found a small ass, sat upon it; as it is written, read more.
Fear not, O daughter of Sion: behold, thy King comes, sitting upon the foal of an ass. And these the disciples knew not at first: but when Jesus was honoured, then remembered they that these were written of him, and they did these things to him. The crowd therefore testified which being with him, that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead. And for this the crowd met him, for they heard he had done this sign. Then said the Pharisees among themselves, Ye see that ye aid nothing; behold, the world has departed after him.


And Jesus having heard, withdrew from thence into a desert place apart: and the crowds, having heard, followed him on foot from the cities. And Jesus having come, saw a great crowd: and he felt compassion for them, and he cured their sick. And being evening, his disciples came to him, saying, It is a desert place, and the time has passed already; loose the crowds, that, having gone into towns, they might purchase food for themselves. read more.
But Jesus said to them, They have no need to depart; give ye them to eat. And they say to him, We have not here but five loaves, and two fishes. And he said, Bring them here to me. And having encouraged the crowds to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves, and two fishes, and having looked up to heaven, he praised; and having broken, gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. And they all ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the remaining of fragments, twelve baskets full. And they eating were five thousand men, besides women and children.

And the sent are gathered to Jesus, and announced to him all things, whatever they did, and whatever they taught. And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little: for many were coming and returning, and neither had they leisure to eat. And they departed to a desert place by ship apart. read more.
And the crowds saw them retiring, and many knew him, and they were running there on foot from all cities, and came before them, and came together to him. And Jesus, having come out, saw a great crowd, and felt compassion for them, for they were as sheep having not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. And having been already much time, his disciples, having come to him, say, This is a desert place, and already the time much: Loose them, that having departed to the fields and towns round about, they might buy to themselves loaves: for they have nothing they might eat. And having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Having gone, should we buy loaves of two hundred drachmas, and give them to eat? And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? retire and see. And having known, they say, Five, and two fishes. And he commanded them all to recline a drinking together, drinking together upon the green grass. And the borders, the borders reclined, by one hundred, and by fifty. And having taken the five loaves and two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he praised, and he brake the loaves, and gave to his disciples that they might set before them; and the two fishes he divided to all. And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of fishes. And they eating the loaves were about five thousand men.

And the sent, having returned, recounted to him what they did. And having taken them, he retreated apart in a desert place of the city, called Bethsaida. And the crowds having known, followed him: and having received them, he spake to them, of the kingdom of God, and healed them having need of cure. And the day began to decline: and the twelve having come near, said to him, Loose the crowd, that having departed into the towns round about and the fields, they might rest, and might find provisions; for here are we in a deserted place. read more.
And he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, There are no more to us than five loaves and two fishes; except having gone we buy food for all this people. For they were about five thou sand men. And he said to his disciples, Place them reclining by fifty in a place for reposing. And they did so, and they made all recline. And having taken the five loaves and two fishes, having looked up to heaven, be praised them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd. And they all ate, and were satisfied: and that over and above having remained to them was taken up, twelve baskets of fragments.

After these Jesus departed beyond the sea of Galilee, of Tiberias. And a great crowd followed him, for they saw his signs which he did upon the sick. And Jesus went up into the mount, and sat there with his disciples. read more.
And the pascha was near, the festival of the Jews. Then Jesus having lifted up the eyes, and seen that a great crowd comes to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these might eat? And this he said trying him: for himself knew what he was about to do. Philip answered him. Loaves of two hundred drachmas will not suffice them, that each of them should take some little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him, There is one little boy here, who has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are these among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men recline. And there was much grass in the place. Then the men reclined, the number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, distributed to his disciples, and the disciples to the reclining; and likewise of the small fishes, as many as they wished. And when they were filled, he says to his disciples, Gather the fragments remaining over, that nothing should be lost. Then gathered they, and filled twelve baskets of the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over to them having eaten. Then the men, having seen the sign which Jesus did, said, That this is truly the prophet coming into the world.


And, behold, there was a great shaking; for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come near, rolled away the stone from the door, and sat above it. And his aspect was as lightning, and his garment white as snow. And from fear of him the keepers were shaken, and were as dead. read more.
And the messenger, having answered, said to the women, Be ye not afraid; for I know that ye seek Jesus, having been crucified. He is not here: for he was raised, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he was raised from the dead; and, behold, he leads before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him: behold I have said to you. And they having come quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, ran to announce to his disciples. And as they were going to announce to his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, Rejoice ye. And they having come, held his feet firmly, and worshipped him. Then says Jesus to them, Be ye not afraid: retire, and announce to my brethren that they should go away into Galilee, and there shall they see me. And they going, behold certain of the watch having come to the city, announced to the chief priests all having been done. And having been gathered together with the elders, and having taken counsel, they gave sufficient silver coins to the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, That his disciples having come by night, stole him, we being asleep. And if this should be heard by the leader, we will persuade him, and we will make you undisturbed. And they having received the silver coins, did as they were taught; and this word was spread a report by the Jews till this day.

And the sabbath having intervened, Mary Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they might anoint him. And very early in the morning of one of the sabbaths, they came to the tomb, the sun having risen. And they said to themselves, Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the tomb? read more.
And having looked up, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And having come to the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, being encompassed with a white robe; and they were terrified. And he says to them, Be not terrified: Ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, being crucified: he was raised; he is not here: see the place where they laid him. But retire ye; say to his disciples and to Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you. And having come forth quickly, they fled from the tomb; and terror and amazement held them: and they said nothing to any; for they were afraid. And having risen early the first of the sabbath, he was manifested first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast seven demons. She having gone announced to them having been with him, grieving and weeping. And they having heard that he lives, and was seen by her, believed not.

And in one of the sabbaths, in the depth of the dawn of day, they came to the tomb, bringing spices which they had prepared, and certain with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. And coming in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. read more.
And it was in their being perplexed for this, and, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And they having, been afraid, and bending the face to the earth, they said to them, Why seek ye the living with the dead He is not here, but has risen: remember how he spake to you being yet in Galilee, Saying, That the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and be raised up the third day. And they remembered his words, And having returned from the tomb, they announced these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. And they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the rest with them, who said these things to the sent. And their words appeared before them as idle talk, and they believed them not. And Peter having risen, ran to the tomb; and having stooped, saw the linen bandages lying alone, and he departed, wondering in himself at what was done.

And in one of the sabbaths comes Mary Magdalene in the morning, there yet being darkness, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb; and we know not where they laid him. Peter then came forth, and the other disciple, and they came to the tomb. read more.
And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before, swifter than Peter, and came first to the tomb. And having stood stooping, he sees the linen bandages lying; yet he did not go in. Then comes Simon Peter following him, and he came into the tomb, and sees the linen bandages lying, And the napkin, which was upon his head, not lying with the linen bandages, but separately inwrapped in one place. Then, therefore, went in also the other disciple, having first come to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. For not yet knew they the writing, that he must rise from the dead. Then went away the disciples again by themselves. And Mary stood near the tomb weeping without: therefore as she wept, she stood stooping into the tomb, And sees two messengers in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid. And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them, Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him. And having said these, she was turned back, and sees Jesus standing, and she knew not that it is Jesus. Jesus says to her, Woman, why weepest thou a whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if thou didst bear him away, say where thou bast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus says to her, Mary. She having turned, says to him, Rabboni; which is called, Teacher. Jesus says to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: and go thou to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene comes announcing to the disciples that she has seen the Lord, and he said these to her.



And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a rumor went out concerning him through the whole country round about.

And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God,

And after two days he came out thence, and departed to Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country. When therefore he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all which he did in Jerusalem in the festival: for they also came to the festival.


In that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report of Jesus, And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; be was aroused from the dead; and for this, powers are energetic in him.

The festivities of Herod's birthday being celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod. Wherefore, with an oath, he agreed to give her whatever she should ask. And having been urged on by her mother, Give me, she says, here upon a board, the head of John the Baptist. read more.
And the king was grieved: but for his oath, and those reclining together at the table, he ordered to be given. And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought upon a board, and given to the girl, and she brought to her mother. And his disciples having come near, took away the body, and interred it; and having come, they announced to Jesus.

And king Herod heard his name; (for it was manifest:) and said, That John the Immerser was raised from the dead, and for this the powers were energetic in him. Others amid, That he is Elias. And others said, That he is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. And Herod, having heard, said, That John whom I beheaded, this is he; he was raised from the dead.

And a convenient day having come, when Herod in the festivities of his birthday made a supper to his leading persons,, and to the captains of thousands, and to the first of Galilee; And the daughter of this Herodias, having come in, and danced, and pleased Herod and those reclining together at table, the king said to the little girl, Ask me whatever thou wishest, and I will give thee. And he swore to her, That whatever thou shouldest ask, I will give thee, even to half my kingdom. read more.
And she having come out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Immerser. And having come quickly with haste to the king, she asked, saying, I wish that thou wouldest give me by itself, upon a board, the head of John the Immerser. And the king having been sorely grieved on account of the oaths and those reclining at table together, wished not to refuse her. And quickly the king, having sent a scout, commanded his head to be brought: And he having departed, beheaded him in prison, and brought his head upon a board, and gave it to the little girl: and the little girl gave it to her mother. And his disciples, having heard, came and took up his corpse, and put it in a tomb.

And Herod the tetrarch heard all done by him: and was in perplexity, for it was said by certain, that John had been raised from the dead. And by certain, that Elias has appeared.; and by others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen. And Herod said, John I beheaded and who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he sought to see him.


And he having answered, said, He having dipped with me the hand in the small dish, the same shall deliver me up.



And they reclining and eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, That one of you shall deliver me up, he eating with me. And they began to be grieved, and to say to him one by one, What, not I? and another, What, not I? And he having answered, said to them, One of the twelve, he dipping with me into the small dish. read more.
Truly the Son of man retires, as has been written of him: and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it were good for him if that man had not been born.


And he said to them, Truly I say to you, That some of those are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God having come in power.

From then Jesus began to shew to his disciples, that he must depart to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised in the third day. And Peter having taken him, began to reproach him, saying, Be propitious to thyself, Lord: this shall not be to thee. And having turned, he said to Peter, Retire behind me, Satan: thou art an offence, to me: for thou hast not in mind the things of God, but the things of men. read more.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any wish to come after me, let him deny himself absolutely, and lift up his cross, and follow me. For whoever should wish to save his life shall lose it: and whoever shall lose his soul for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, and injure his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father with his messengers; and then he will give back to each according to his deed. Verily I say to you, Some are standing here, who should not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be disapproved of by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise up. And he spake the word with frankness. And Peter having taken him, began to rebuke him. And he having turned back, and having seen his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Retire behind me, Satan: for thou hast not in mind the things of God, but the things of men. read more.
And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever wills to come after me, let him absolutely deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wills to save his life shall lose it; and whoever should lose his life for my sake and the good news, the same shall save it. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and injure his soul Or what shall a man give for the exchange of his soul? For whoever should be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; also the Son of man shall be ashamed of him, when he should come in the glory of the Father with the holy messengers.

Saying, That the Son of man must suffer many things, and be disapproved of by the more ancient and the chief priests and the scribes, and be slain, and be raised up the third day. And he said to all, If any one wish to come after me, let him deny himself, and lift up his cross daily and let him follow me. For whoever would wish to save his soul shall lose it: and whoever should lose his soul for my sake, the same shall save it. read more.
For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having lost himself, or having been damaged? For whoever should be ashamed of me and my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he should come in the glory of himself, and of the Father, and of the holy messengers. And I say to you truly, certain are standing here, who shall not taste of death, till they should see the kingdom Of God.


Afterwards to those reclining at table was he manifested, and he reproached their unbelief and hard heart, because they believed not them having seen him raised. And he said to them, Having gone into all the world proclaim the good news to all creation. And he having believed and having been immersed shall be saved; but he not having believed shall be condemned. read more.
And these signs shall follow those having believed; In my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and should they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall put hands upon the sick, and they shall be well.

And they speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and he says to them, Peace to you. And they, struck with awe and being afraid, thought to see a spirit. And he said to them, Why have ye been troubled? and wherefore do reflections come up in your hearts? read more.
See my hands and my feet, for I am he; feel, and see: for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as ye see me having. And having said this, he showed them hands and feet. And yet they not believing from joy, and wondering, he said to them, Have ye any food here? And they bestowed upon him part of a broiled fish, and of an honey comb. And having taken, he ate before them. And he said to them, These the words which I spake to you, being yet with you, for all things must be completed, written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, to understand the writings, And he said to them, That so has it been written, and so was it necessary for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And repentance and remission of sins to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the solemn promise of my Father upon you: and do ye sit in the city of Jerusalem, till ye be clothed with power from on high.

Then it being evening, in that one day of the sabbaths, and the doors shut where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. And having said this, he showed them his hands, and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord. Then said Jesus again to them, Peace to you: as the Father has sent me, I also send you. read more.
And having said this, he inspired, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them: whose soever ye retain, they have been retained.


Then the Pharisees, having gone, took counsel how they might ensnare him in word. And they send to him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, and care is to thee for none; for thou lookest not to the face of men. Therefore say to us, What seems to thee Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? read more.
But Jesus, having known their evil, said, Why tempt ye me, hypocrites? Show me the piece of money of tribute. And they brought him a drachma. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. Then says he to them, Give back then to Caesar the things of Caesar; and the things of God to God. And having heard, they wondered, and having left him, they departed.

And they sent to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, that they might catch him in the word. And they having come, say to him, Teacher, we know that thou art true, and thou carest not for any one: for thou lookest not to the face of men, but in truth thou teachest the way of God: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or no? Should we give, or not give? And he knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a drachma that I might see it. read more.
And they brought. And he says to them, Whose is this image and inscription? And they said to him, Caesar's. And Jesus having answered, said to them, Give back Caesar's things to Caesar, and the things of God to God. And they wondered at him.

And having observed narrowly, they sent liers-in-wait, feigning themselves to be just, that they might seize upon his word, to deliver him to the beginning and authority of the leader. And they asked him, saying. Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and thou receivest not the face, but teachest in truth the way of God: Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not read more.
And having perceived their craft, he said to them, Why tempt ye me? Show me drachma. Whose image and inscription has it? And having answered they said, Caesar's. And he said to them, Return therefore to Caesar, Caesar's things, and to God the things of God. And they were not able to seize upon his word before the people: and having wondered at his answer, they were silent.


And, behold, one having come said to him, Good teacher, what good shall I do, that I might have eternal life? And he said to him, Why sayest thou me good? None is good except one, God; but if thou wouldst come into life, keep the commands. He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, thus: Thou shalt not murder; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness; read more.
Honour thy father and mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The young man says to him, All these have I watched from my youth; what yet do I want? Jesus said to him, If thou wished to be perfected, retire, sell thy possessions, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And the young man having heard the word, departed, being grieved: for he was holding many possessions.

And he going in the way, one running and having fallen upon his knees, asked him, Good teacher, What shall I do that I might inherit eternal life And Jesus said to him, Why sayest thou me good? none good, except the one God. Thou knowest the commands: Thou shouldst not commit adultery; Thou shouldst not kill; Thou shouldst not steal; Thou shouldst not bear false testimony; Thou shouldst not defraud; Honour thy father and mother. read more.
And he, having answered, said to him, O teacher, all these have I watched from my youth. And Jesus having looked upon him, loved him, and said to him, One thing is wanting to thee retire; whatever thou hast, sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, having taken up the cross. And he, being sad at the word, went away being grieved: for he had many possessions.

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit eternal life? And Jesus said to him, Why sayest thou me good? none good except the one God. Thou knowest the commands, Thou shouldest not commit adultery, Thou shouldest not kill, Thou shouldest not steal, Thou shouldest not bear false testimony, Honour thy father and thy mother. read more.
And he said, All these have I watched from my youth. And Jesus having heard these, said to him, Yet one thing fails thee: all whatever thou hast, sell and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. And he having heard these things, was sorely grieved: for he was very rich. And Jesus having seen him being sorely grieved, said, With how much difficulty shall they having possessions come into the kingdom of God!


In that day the Sadducees came to him, they saying there is to be no rising up: and they asked him, Saying, Teacher, Moses said, If any one die, not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. And with us were seven brethren: and the first, having married, died; and having no seed, he left his wife to his brother. read more.
And likewise the second, and third, even till the seven. And after all died also the woman. Therefore in the rising up whose of the seven shall the woman be? for they all had her. And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Ye are led astray, not having known the writings, nor the power of God. For in the rising up they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers of God in heaven. And for the rising up of the dead, read ye not that spoken by God, saying, I am God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And the crowds having heard, were astonished at his teaching.

And the Sadducees come to him, who say there is no rising up; and they asked him, saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, That if any one's brother die, and leave his wife, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. There were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. read more.
And the second took her, and died, and neither left he seed: and the third likewise. And the seven took her, and left no seed: and the woman died last of all. Therefore in the rising up, when they should rise, to which of them shall the woman be? for the seven had her a wife. And Jesus having answered, said to them, For this do ye not go astray, not knowing the writings, nor the power of God? For when they arise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the messengers which in the heavens. And concerning the dead that they are raised: have ye not read in the book of Moses, at the bramble, how God spake to him, I the God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob He is not God of the dead, but God of the living; ye therefore go astray greatly.

And certain of the Sadducees having approached, speaking against there being a rising up, asked him, Saying, Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother die. having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take the wife, and raise up seed to his brother. Therefore were there seven brethren: and the first having taken a wife, died without children. read more.
And the second took the wife, and he died without children. And the third took her; and likewise also the seven: and they left no children, and died. And after all died the woman also. Then in the rising up, whose wife of them is she for seven had her a wife. And Jesus having answered, said to them, The sons of this life marry, and are given in marriage And they having been deemed worthy to obtain that life, and the rising up of the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: For neither can they die any more: for they are like to messengers; and are sons of God, being the sons of the rising up. And that the dead are raised, Moses made known at the bramble, when he calls the Lord, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob. And he is not God of the dead, but of the living: for all live to him. And certain of the scribes having answered, said, Teacher, thou speakest well. And they dared no more to ask him anything.


And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was leading before them; and they were amazed; and following, they were afraid. And again taking the twelve, he began to say to them the things about to happen to him, For, behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests, and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death: and shall deliver him to the nations: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall be raised up.

And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and he said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And they shall deliver him to the nations to mock, and scourge, and crucify: and he shall be raised the third day.

And taking the twelve, he said to them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets shall be completed to the Son of man. For he shall be delivered to the nations, and be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon: And having scourged, they shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise. read more.
And they understood nothing of these things: and this word was hidden from them, and they discerned not the things spoken.


And they brought young children to him, that he might touch them: and the disciples rebuked those bringing. And Jesus, having seen, felt pain, and said to them, Permit children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, Whoever should not receive the kingdom of God as a young child, should not come into it. read more.
And having taken them up in his arms, having put the hands upon them, he praised them.

Then young children were brought to him, that he might put hands upon them and pray: and the disciples censured them. But Jesus said, Let go the young children, and hinder them not, to come to me: for of such is the kingdom of the heavens. And having put hands upon them, he went out from thence.

And they also brought babes to him, that he might touch them: and the disciples having seen, censured them. And Jesus having called them, said, Leave the young children to come to me, and hinder them not: for of such is time kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, Whoever should not receive the kingdom of God as a young child should not enter into it.


And they going out from Jericho, a great crowd followed him. And, behold, two blind sitting by the way, having heard that Jesus passes by, cried out, saying, Pity us, O Lord, son of David. And the crowd censured them that they should be silent: but they cried the more, saying, Pity us, O Lord, son of David. read more.
And Jesus having stood, called them, and said, What will ye I shall do to you? They say to him, Lord, that our eyes might be opened. And Jesus, having felt compassion, touched their eyes: and quickly their eyes looked up, and they followed him.

And it was in his drawing near to Jericho, a certain blind sat by the way, begging: And having heard the multitude passing by, he inquired what this might be. And they announced to him, That Jesus the Nazarite passes by. read more.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, son of David, pity me. And they going before censured him, that he be silent: and he so much the more cried out, O son of David, pity me. And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought to him: and he having drawn near, he asked him, Saying, What wilt thou I shall do to thee? And he said, Lord, that I:night see again. And Jesus said to him, See again: thy faith has saved thee. And he immediately saw again, and followed him, honouring God: and all the people having seen, gave praise to God.

And they come into Jericho: and he going out from Jericho, and his disciples, and a sufficient crowd, Bartimeus the blind, son of Timms, sat by the way asking alms. And having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarite, he began to cry, and to say, Son of David, O Jesus, compasaionate me. And many were rebuking him, that he should be silent: and he cried much more, Son of David, compassionate me. read more.
And Jesus having stood, spake for him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Take courage, arise; he calls thee. And he, having cast away his garment, having risen, came to Jesus.


And in the first of the unleavened loaves, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where wilt thou we should prepare for thee to eat the pascha? And he said, Retire ye into the city, to a certain person, and say to him, The teacher says, My time is near; with thee do I the pascha with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus commanded them: and they prepared the passover. read more.
And it being evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And they eating, he said, Truly I say to you, that one of you shall deliver me up. And they being greatly grieved, began each of them to say to him, Far from it am I, O Lord: And he having answered, said, He having dipped with me the hand in the small dish, the same shall deliver me up. Truly the Son of man retires as has been written concerning him; and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it was good for him if that man had not been born. And Judas delivering him up, having answered, said, Far from it, am I, Rabbi? He said to him, Thou hast said. And they eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and praised, brake and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. And having taken the cup, and given thanks, he gave to them, saying, Drink of it all ye. For this is my blood, that of the new covenant, having been poured out for many, for the remission of sins. And I say to you, that I drink not from henceforth of this fruit of the vine, even till that day when I drink it new with you, in the kingdom of my Father. And having sung, they went forth to the mount of Olives.

And in the first day of the unleavened, when they sacrificed the pascha, his disciples say to him, Where wilt thou, we, having gone, should prepare that thou eat the pascha And he sends two of his disciples, and says to them, Retire to the city, and a man shall meet you bearing an earthen vessel of water; follow him. And wherever he should enter in, say to the lord of the house, That the Teacher says, Where is the room where I might eat the pascha with my disciples? read more.
And he will shew you a great apartment spread, ready: there prepare for us. And his disciples went out, and came to the city, and found as he said to them: and they prepared the pascha. And having been evening, he comes with the twelve. And they reclining and eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, That one of you shall deliver me up, he eating with me. And they began to be grieved, and to say to him one by one, What, not I? and another, What, not I? And he having answered, said to them, One of the twelve, he dipping with me into the small dish. Truly the Son of man retires, as has been written of him: and woe to that man by whom the Son of man is delivered up! it were good for him if that man had not been born. And they eating, Jesus having taken bread, having praised, brake, and gave them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. And having taken the cup, having returned thanks, he gave them: and they all drank of it. And he said to them, This is my blood, that of the new covenant, being poured out for many. Truly I say to you that I will no more drink of the fruit of the vine, till that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

And the day of unleavened came, in which must be sacrificed the pascha. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Having gone, prepare ye for us the pascha, that we might eat. And they said to him, Where wilt thou that we should prepare? read more.
And he said to them, Behold, you having come to the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing an earthen vessel of water; follow ye him to the house where he goes in. And ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to thee, Where is the room where I should eat the pascha with my disciples? And he shall shew you a great upper room spread: there prepare ye. And having departed, they found as he said to them; and they prepared the pascha. And when it was the hour, he reclined, and the twelve sent with him. And he said to them, With eager desire have I desired to eat this pascha with you before I suffer: For I say to you, no more should I eat of it, till when it should be completed in the kingdom of God. Having taken the cup, and returned thanks, he said, Take this, and divide among yourselves: For I say to you that I drink not of the fruit of the vine, till when the kingdom of God comes. Having taken the bread, and returned thanks, he brake, and gave them, saying, This is my body given for you: this do ye for my remembrance. Likewise also the cup after supping, saying, This the cup, the new covenant in my blood, poured out for you:


Then he possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb, was brought to him; and he cured him, so that the blind and dumb spake and saw also. And all the crowds were affected, and said, Is not this the son of David? But the Pharisees, having heard, said, He casts not out demons, but by Beelzebub, ruler of demons. read more.
And Jesus knowing their reflections, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he was divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? And I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast out? for this shall they be your judges. But if I, by the Spirit of God, cast out demons, the kingdom of God has come before hand upon you. Or how can any one come into the house of the strong, and plunder his goods, except be first bind the strong? and then he will plunder his house. He not being with me is against me; and he not gathering with me; scatters. For this I say to you, All sin and blasphemy shall be let go to men; but the blasphemy of the Spirit shall not be let go to men. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it shall be remitted to him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be let go to him, neither in this time, nor that about to be. Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree rotten, and its fruit rotten; for the tree is known by its fruit. O generation of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the month speaks. The good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, casts forth good things: and the evil man, out of the evil treasure, casts forth evil things. And I say to you, That every idle word which men speak, they shill return word for it in the day of judgment. For by thy words shalt thou be justified, and by thy words shalt thou be condemned.

And Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up. And they came into the house; and again came the crowd together, so that they could not even eat bread. And they with him, having heard, came forth to take hold of him: for they said, That he is affected in mind. read more.
And the scribes, they having come down from Jerusalem, said, That he has Beelzeboul, and that by the ruler of demons he casts out demons. And having called them, in parables spake he to them, How can Satan cast out Satan And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and has been divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. None can plunder the vessels of the strong, having entered his house, except he first bind the strong; then he will plunder his house. Truly I say to you, That all sins shall be remitted to the sons of men, and defamations whatever they defame: And whoever should defame against the Holy Spirit has no remission forever, but he is liable to the penalty of eternal condemnation. For they said, He has an unclean spirit.

And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it was the demon having come out, the dumb spake; and the crowds wondered. And certain of them said, By Beelzebul ruler of demons he casts out demons. And others, tempting, sought a sign of him from heaven. read more.
And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is rendered desolate; and a house against a house falls. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how should his kingdom stand ? for ye say by Beelzebul I cast out demons. And if I by Beelzebnl cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast. out? for this shall they be your judges. And if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then has the kingdom of God got beforehand to you. When the strong, completely armed, should watch his court-yard, his possessions are in peace : And when a stronger than he, having come, conquers him, he takes away his complete armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils. He not being with me is against me : and he not gathering with me scatters. When the unclean spirit comes out from a man, he passes through places wanting water, seeking rest; and not finding, he says, I will return to my house whence I came out. And having come, he finds it swept and set in order. Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself; and having entered, they dwell there : and the last things of that man are worse than the first.


And quickly Jesus constrained his disciples to go into the ship, and to go before him to the other side, till he should loose the crowds. And having loosed the crowds, he went up into a mount apart to pray: and being evening, he was there alone. And the ship was already in the midst of the sea, overcharged by waves: for the wind was contrary. read more.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking upon the sea. And the disciples seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear. And quickly Jesus spake to them, saying, Take courage; I am; be not afraid. And Peter having answered him, said, Lord, if thou art, encourage me to come upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter having gone down from the ship, walked upon the waters, to go to Jesus. And seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and beginning to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me. And quickly Jesus, having stretched out the hand, laid hold of him, and says to him, O thou of little faith, for what didst thou doubt? And having gone into the ship, the wind ceased. And they in the ship, having come, worshipped him, saying, Thou art truly the Son of God. And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret. And the men of the place, having known him, sent into the whole country round about, and brought to him all those having evils: And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were saved from danger.

And quickly he constrained his disciples to go to the ship, and to lead before to the other side of Bethsaida, till he loose the crowd: And having dismissed them, he went away to the mount to pray. And evening having come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon land. read more.
And he saw them trying to urge forward, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he comes to them walking upon the sea, and he would pass by them. And having seen him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and cried out: For all saw him, and were troubled. And quickly he spake with them, and says to them, Take courage: I am; be not afraid. And he went up to them to the ship; and the wind ceased, and they were greatly affected in mind above measure and wondered. For they understood not the loaves; for their heart was hardened. And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret, and put into a harbor. And they having come out of the ship, quickly having known him. Running round about that whole country, began to bring the afflicted upon couches, where they heard that he is there. And wherever he went, in towns, or cities; or fields, they set the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might even touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were saved.

Then Jesus having known that they were about to come and carry him of forcibly, that they might make him king, departed again to the mount alone. And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea. And having entered into a ship, they came beyond the sea to Capernaum. And already was there darkness, and Jesus had not come to them. read more.
And the sea, a great wind blowing, arose. Then having urged forward about twent-five or thirty stadia, they behold Jesus walking upon the sea, and being near the ship: and they were afraid. And he says to them, I am; be not afraid. Then they wished to take him into the ship: and the ship was quickly at land to which they retired.


And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a rumor went out concerning him through the whole country round about.

And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God,

And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, went back into Galilee.

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John, (Though Jesus himself immersed not, but his disciples,) He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.


And they having returned into Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men: And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised. And they were greatly grieved.

And having come out thence they passed through Galilee; and he desired not that any one should know. For he taught his disciples, and said to them, That the Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and having been killed, he shall raise himself the third day. And they knew not the word, and were afraid to ask him.

And all were struck with amazement at the majesty of God. And all wondering at all which he did, Jesus said to his disciples, Put ye these words into your ears: for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the bands of men. And they knew not this word, and it was hid from them, lest they should understand it: and they feared to ask him concerning this word.


And they having come to the crowd, there came to him a man, supplicating on his knees to him, and saying, Lord, pity my son: for he is a lunatic, and suffers badly: for many times he falls into the fire, and many times into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. read more.
And Jesus, having answered, said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I endure you? bring him here to me. And Jesus censured him; and the demon went forth out of him: and the child was cured from that hour. Then the disciples having come to Jesus apart, said, Why could not we cast it out? And Jesus said to them, For your unbelief: for truly I say to you, If ye have faith as a kernel of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Go away from thence, and it shall go away; and nothing shall be impossible to you. But this kind goes not forth but by prayer and fasting.

And having come to the disciples, he saw a great crowd about them, and the scribes seeking out with them. And immediately all the crowd; having seen him, were amazed, and running near greeted him. And he asked the scribes, What seek ye together with them? read more.
And one from the crowd having answered, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a speechless spirit. And wherever he overtakes him, he rends him: and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he is dried up: and I spake to thy disciples that they might cast him out; and they could not. And he having answered, says to him, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. And they brought him to him: and having seen him, quickly the spirit rent him; and having fallen upon the earth, foaming he rolled himself about. And he asked his father, How long is it that this has been to him? And he said, From childhood. And many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou canst anything, help us, having had compassion upon us. And Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things possible to him believing. And quickly the child's father having cried out with tears, said, I believe, O Lord, help thou mine unbelief. And Jesus, having seen that the crowd ran together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Speechless and deaf spirit, I command thee to come out of him, and that thou come no more into him. And having cried and rent him much, it came forth, and he was as dead; so that many said, That he is dead. And Jesus having held him by the hand, raised him; and he stood up. And he having come into the house, his disciples asked him apart, Wherefore were we not able to cast him forth? And he said to them, This kind can go, out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

And it was in the day following, they having come down from the mountain, there met him a great crowd. And, behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, Teacher, I implore thee look upon my son: for he is my only born. And, behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out; and it tears him with foam, and with difficulty withdraws from him, bruising him. read more.
And I implored thy disciples that they cast it out; and they could not. And Jesus having answered said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you, and endure you I Bring hither thy son. And he yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tare him. And Jesus censured the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father. And all were struck with amazement at the majesty of God. And all wondering at all which he did, Jesus said to his disciples,


Truly therefore the Lord, after ho had spoken to them, was taken up into the heavens, and sat on the right hand of God. And they, having gone forth, proclaimed every where, the Lord performing together, and confirming the word by signs following. Amen.

And he led them without, even to Bethany, and having lifted up his hands, he praised them. And it was in his praising them, he was separated from them, and carried into heaven. And they having worshipped him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy. read more.
And they were always in the temple, praising and extolling God. Amen.

And having said these, they beholding, he was lifted up; and a cloud received him from their eyes. And as they were looking intently to heaven, he going, behold, two men were standing before them in white raiment; And they said, Galilean men, why stand ye looking to heaven this Jesus, taken up from you to heaven, so shall he come which manner ye saw him going to heaven. read more.
Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olive, which is near Jerusalem, having the way of a sabbath.


And be began to speak to them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and put a fence round, and digged a winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. And he sent a servant to the husbandmen in time, that he might receive of the husbandmen from the fruit of the vineyard. And they, taking him, stripped, and sent away empty. read more.
And again he sent to them another servant; and having stoned the same they treated in a summary manner, and sent away despised. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; truly stripping some, and killing some. Yet therefore having one dearly beloved son, and him he sent last to them, saying, That they will be changed by my son. And these husbandmen said with themselves, That this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. And they having taken him, killed, and cast out of the vineyard. Therefore what will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the hushandmen, and give the vineyard to others. And have ye not read this writing; The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner: This was of the Lord, and is wonderful in our eyes? And they sought to seize him, and they feared the crowd: for they knew that he spake this parable against them: and having let him go they went away.

Hear another parable: A certain man was master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and digged in it a winepress, and let it out to farmers, and went abroad: And when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive his parts. And the farmers having taken his servants, truly one they stripped, and one they killed, and one they stoned. read more.
Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did to them likewise. And afterwards he sent to them his son, saying, They will be changed by my son. And the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance. And having taken, they cast out of the vineyard, and killed. When, therefore, the lord of the vineyard should come, what will he do to those farmers? They say to him, He will miserably destroy these wicked, and let out the vineyard to other farmers, who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the writings, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this was for the head of the corner? This was from the Lord, and it was wonderful in your eyes. For this I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation doing its fruits. And he falling upon this stone shall be crushed: but upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. And the chief priests and Pharisees, having heard his parable, knew that he spake of them. And seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the crowd, since they held him as a prophet.

And he began to say to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it to farmers, and went abroad sufficient time. And in time he sent a servant to the farmers, that they give him from the fruit of the vineyard: and the farmers, skinning, sent him out empty. And he added to send another servant: and they also having skinned and dishonoured him, sent forth empty. read more.
And he added to send a third; and also, having wounded, they cast him out. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do I will send my dearly beloved son: perhaps, having seen him, they will change. And the farmers having seen him, reasoned to themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance be ours. And having cast him without the vineyard, they killed. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do to them? He shall come and destroy these farmers, and give the vineyard to others. And having heard, they said, It may not be. And having looked upon them, he said, What then is this written, The stone which the builders disapproved of, this has been for the head of the corner? Every one having fallen upon that stone shall be crushed, and upon whomsoever it should fall, it shall winnow him. And the chief priests and scribes sought to lay hands upon him in the same hour; and they feared the people: for they knew he spake this parable against them.


And, behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue comes, Jairus by name; and having seen him, he fell at his feet, And he besought him much, saying, That my little daughter is at the last extremity: that, having come, thou Mightest put the hands upon her, so that she might be saved; and she shall live. And he went away with him; and a great crowd followed him, and they pressed him. read more.
And a certain woman, being in a flowing of blood twelve years, And having suffered many things by many physicians, and having expended all of her own, and not having been benefited, but having come rather to the worse, Having heard concerning Jesus, having come in the crowd behind, she touched his garment. For she said, That if I touch his garment, I shall be saved. And quickly the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she knew in the body that she is healed from the plague. And Jesus, having quickly known in himself the power having gone out of him, having turned round in the crowd, he said, Who has touched my garments? And his disciples said to him, Seest thou the crowd pressing thee, and sayest thou, Who has touched me? And he looked round about to see her having done this. And the woman, afraid and trembling, having known what bad been upon her, came and fell down before him, and spake all the truth to him. And he said to her, Daughter, thy faith has saved thee; retire in peace, and be whole from thy plague. He yet speaking, they come from the ruler of the synagogue, saying, That thy daughter is dead: why yet dost thou importune the Teacher? And Jesus having quickly heard the word spoken, says to the ruler of the synagogue, Fear not, only believe. And he permitted not any to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. And he comes to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and sees an uproar, they weeping and wailing much. And having time in, he says to them, Why make ye an uproar, and weep? the young child is not dead, but sleeps. And they laughed at him. And he, having cast them all out, takes the father and mother of the young child, and those with him, and goes where the young child was lying. And having taken the hand of the young child, he says to her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Little girl, I say to thee, arise. And the little girl arose quickly, and walked; for she was of twelve years. And they were affected in mind with great amazement. And he charged them much that none should know this thing; and he spake to give her to eat.

And, behold, a man came, to whom the name of Jairus, and he was ruler of the assembly: and having fallen before the feet of Jesus, he besought him to come to his house: For an only daughter was to him, of about twelve years, and she was dying. And in his going the crowds pressed him. And a woman being in a flowing of blood for twelve years, who having expended all the means of subsistence upon physicians, could not be cured by any. read more.
Having come near behind, touched the hem of his garment: and immediately her flow of blood was stopped. And Jesus said; Who having touched me? And all denying, Peter said. and they with him: Ruler, the crowds hold with thee and press thee, and thou sayest, Who having touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody touched me: for I know power having gone out from me. And the woman having seen that she was not hid, came trembling, and having fallen before him, announced to him before all people for what cause she touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said to her. Take courage, Daughter: thy faith has saved thee; go in peace. He yet speaking, there comes a certain of the ruler of the assembly, saying to him, That thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher. And Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, Fear not: only believe, and she shall be saved. And having come into the house, he suffered not any to come in, except Peter, and James, and John, and the father and mother of the child. And all wept, and bewailed her: and he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeping. And they derided him, knowing that she was dead. And he having cast all without, and held firmly her hand, called, saying, Child, arise. And her spirit returned, and she rose up immedrately: and he ordered to give her to eat. And her parents were afflected in mind: and he proclaimed to them, to tell no one that having been done.

He speaking these things to them, behold, a ruler, having come, worshipped him, saying; That my daughter has just now died: but having come, put thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus having risen, followed him: also his disciples. And behold, a woman discharging blood twelve years, having come near behind, touched the hem of his garment: read more.
For she said in herself, If I should only touch the hem of his garment, I shall be saved. And Jesus having turned round, and seeing her, said, Take courage, daughter; thy faith has saved thee. And the woman was saved from that hour. And Jesus having come into the ruler's house, and seeing the flute players and the crowd making an uproar, He says to them, Give way; for the girl is not dead but sleeps; and they mocked him. But when the crowd was driven forth, having entered, he seized her hand, and the little girl was awakened. And this report went forth into that whole land.


And it was he sitting at table in the house, and behold, many tax collectors and sinful, having come, sat at table with Jesus and his disciples. And the Pharisees, seeing, said to his disciples, Wherefore does your teacher eat with tax collectors and the sinful? And Jesus having heard, said to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but they having evils. read more.
And having gone, learn what is this, I wish mercy, and not sacrifice: for I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. Then came to him the disciples of John; saying, Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said to them, The sons of the nuptial chamber cannot mourn inasmuch as the bridegroom is with them; but the days shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast. And no one puts on a cover of uncombed fragment upon an old garment, for its filling takes away from the garment, and the division is Worse. Neither do they cast new wine into old wineskins: but if otherwise, the wine-skins burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wine-skins are destroyed; but they cast new wine into new wine-skins, and they are both preserved.

And it was in his reclining at table in his house, and many publicans and sinful reclined together with Jesus and his disciples: for they were many, and they followed him. And the scribes and Pharisees having seen him eating with publicans and sinful, said to his disciples, Why does he eat and drink with publicans and sinful? And Jesus having heard, says to them, They being strong have no need of a physician, but those being affected: I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. read more.
And the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees were fasting: and they come and say to him, Why do the disciples of John, and of the Pharisees fast, and the disciples to thee fast not? And Jesus said to them, Can the sons of the nuptial-chamber, in which the bridegroom is with them, fast? as much time as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. And the days shall come when the bridegroom should he taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. And none sews a piece of uncombed fragment upon an old garment; and lest its new filling-up take away from the old, and the splitting be worse. And none puts new wine in old wine-skins: and lest the new wine rend the wine-skins, and the wine be poured out, and the wine-skins perish; but they put new wine in new wine-skins.

And Levi made a great entertainment for him in his house: and there was a great crowd of publicans and others who were sitting down with them. And the scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Wherefore eat and drink ye with publicans and sinful? And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Those being in good health have no need of a physician; but they being ill read more.
I came not to call the just, but the sinful to repentance. And they said to him, Wherefore do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make prayers, and likewise they of the Pharisees; and they to thee eat and drink And he said to them, Ye cannot make the sons of the nuptial-chamber fast, when the bridegroom is with them. But the days will come also, when the bridegroom shall be carried away from them; then shall they fast in those days. And he also spake to them a parable; That none put a piece of new garment, upon an old garment; and if not so, the new also splits, and the piece from the new agrees not with the old. And none put new wine into old wineskins; and if not so, the new wine bursts the wine-skins, and it will be poured out, and the wine-skins will perish. But new wine cast into new wine-skins; and both are kept. And none drinking old, quickly desires new, for he says, The old is better.


And Jesus, having come into Peter's house, saw his mother-in-law having been laid up, and affected with fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever let her go: and she arose, and served them.

And he says to them in that day, being evening, Let us go beyond. And having let the crowd go, they receive him as he was in the ship. And there were also other small vessels with him. And there is a great hurricane of wind, and the waves struck against the ship, so that it was already filled. read more.
And he was upon the back part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow: and they aroused him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish? And having risen, he censured the wind, and said to the sea, Be silent, be constricted. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said to them, Why are ye so timorous? how have ye not faith? And they feared a great fear, and said to one another, Who is this, that also the wind and sea listen to him

And it was in one of the days, and he went into a ship, and his disciples: and he said to them, Let us pass through to the other side of the lake. And they led forth. And they sailing, he fell asleep: and a hurricane of wind came down upon the lake; and they were filled, and were in peril. And having come near, they awoke him, saying, Ruler ruler, we perish. And having risen, he censured the wind and heaving of water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. read more.
And he said to them, Where is your faith And having feared, they wondered, saying to one another, Who then is this! that also commands the winds and the waters, and they listen to him!

And Jesus seeing many crowds about him, encouraged to go away beyond. And one scribe, coming near, said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou goest. And Jesus says to him, The foxes have dens, and the fowls of heaven occupy nests; but the Son of man has not where he might recline the head. read more.
And another of his disciples said to him, Lord, permit me first to go and inter my father. But Jesus said to him, Follow me; and let the dead inter the dead. And he having gone into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, a great shaking was in the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves: and be slept. And his disciples, having come near, awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we are lost. And he says to them, Why are ye timorous, ye of little faith? Then having risen, he censured the winds and sea; and there was a great calm. And the men admired, saying, Of what race is this for the winds and the sea listen to him.


And Jesus went about the whole of Galilee, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing disease, and every weakness in the people. And a report went forth of him into the whole of Syria: and they brought to him all those having injuries, being oppressed by various diseases, and trials, and being under the influence of a demon, and being lunatics, and paralytics, and he cured them. And many crowds followed him from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan.

And early, having risen far in the night, he went out, and departed into a deserted place, and there prayed. And Simon, and they with him, followed him. And having found him, they say to him, That all seek thee. read more.

And he said to them, That also to other cities must I announce the good news, the kingdom of God: because for this have I been sent. And he was proclaiming in the assemblies of Galilee.


And Jesus, walking about by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon being called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a sweep-net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you the fishermen of men. And they instantly having let go their nets, followed him. read more.

And having moved forward a little from thence, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they in the ship adjusting their nets. And quickly he called them: and having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings; they went after him.

And it was the crowd pressing close upon him to hear the word of God, and he was standing near the lake of Gennesaret, And he saw two ships standing near the lake: and the fishermen having gone out of them, washed the fishing-nets. And having gone into one of the ships, which was Simon's, he asked him to sail out a little from land. And having sat down, he taught the crowds out of the ship. read more.
And when he ceased speaking, he said to Simon, Sail out into the deep, and slacken your nets for fishing. And Simon having answered, said to him, Commander, wearied for the whole-night, we took nothing: but at thy word I will slacken the net. And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fishes, and their net broke through; And they nodded to partners, those in the other ship, that having come they should succor them. And they came and filled both ships, so that they were sinking. And Simon Peter fell upon his knees before Jesus, saying, Go out from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For amazement held him, and all those with him, at the fishing of the fishes which they took: And likewise also James and John, Zebedee's sons, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Fear not; from now thou shalt be capturing men. And having brought down the ship upon the land, having let go all things, they followed him.

And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leprous, There came to him a woman having an alabaster box of costly perfumed ointment, and she poured upon the head of him, reclining at table. And his disciples seeing, felt pain, saying, For what this loss? read more.
For this perfumed oil could have been sold for much, and have been given to the poor. And Jesus having known, said to them, Why offer ye toils to the woman? for a good work has she worked upon me. For always the poor ye have with you, but me ye have not always. For she, casting this perfumed oil upon my body, did to prepare me for interment, Truly I say to you, Wheresoever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, shall it also be spoken what she did, for a remembrance of her.

For this could have been sold for above three hundred drachmas, and have been given to the poor. And they raged against her. read more.
And Jesus said, Let her go; why bestow ye weariness upon her? she has wrought a good work upon me. For always have ye the poor with you, and when ye wish ye can do them good: and me ye have not always. And what she had, she has done: she has undertaken beforehand to perfume my body for the burial. Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news be proclaimed in the whole world, also what she has done shall be spoken for a memorial of her.

Then Jesus, six days before the pascha, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus the dead, whom he raised from the dead. Then made they him a supper there, and Martha served; and Lazarus was one of them reclining at table with him. Then Mary having taken a pound of perfumed oil of spikenard, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs: and the house was filled with the smell of the perfumed oil. read more.
Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, of Simon, being about to deliver him up, Wherefore was not this perfumed oil sold for three hundred drachmas, and given to the poor? And this he said, not that care was to him for the poor: but because he was a thief, and had the small coffer, and carried things deposited. Then said Jesus, Let her go; for the day of my interment has she kept this. For the poor have ye always with you;and me ye have not always.


And it was in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in Jordan. And quickly coming up from the water, he saw the heavens cleft asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him: And a voice was from the heavens; Thou art my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

Then Jesus approaches from Galilee to Jordan, to John, to be immersed by him. And John hindered him, saying, I have need to be immersed by thee, and dost thou come to me? And Jesus having answered said to him, Permit now; for so it is suitable for us to complete all justice: then he permitted him. read more.
And Jesus, having been immersed, went up straight from the water, and, behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him. And behold a voice from the heavens, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented.

And it was in all the people having been immersed, and Jesus having been immersed, and praying, heaven was opened, And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form as a dove upon him, and there was a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my dearly loved Son; in thee I was contented. And Jesus himself was beginning about thirty years, being, as was thought, the son of Joseph, of Eli,


And he having come beyond the country of the Gergesenes, two possessed with evil spirits, coming out of the tombs, met him, very rough, so that not any could pass by that way. And, behold, they cried out., saying, What to us and thee, Jesus, Son of God? hast thou come here to torture us before the time And far off from them was a herd of many swine grazing. read more.
And the evil spirits besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said to them, Retire. And having gone, they went away into the herd of swine: and, behold, all the herd of swine rushed down the precipice into the sea, and died in the water. And they feeding fled; and having come into the city, they announced all things, and those of the possessed with evil spirits.

And they went beyond the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. And to him coming out of the ship, quickly a man met him from the monuments with an unclean spirit, Who had a dwelling among the monuments; and neither with chains could any one bind him: read more.
For he had been bound many times with fetters and chains, and the chains were torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: and none could tame him. And always, night and day, was he in the mountains, and among the monuments, crying, and mangling himself with stones. And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and worshipped him. And having cried with a great voice, he said, What to me and thee, Jesus, O Son of God most high I adjure thee by God, that thou torture me not. For he said to him, Come forth out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What the name to thee? And he answered, saying, My name, Legion: for we are many. And he besought him much that he would not send them out of the country. And a great herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we might enter into them. And quickly Jesus permitted them. And the evil spirits having come forth, entered into the swine: and the herd rushed through the precipice into the sea, (and they were about two thousand;) and they were choked in the sea. And those feeding the swine fled, and they announced in the city, and in the fields. And they came forth to see what is it that was done. And they come to Jesus, and they see him possessed with the demon, sitting down, and being clothed, and of sound mind: and they were afraid. And they having seen, recounted to them how it was to him possessed with the demon, and concerning the swine. And they began to beseech him to depart out of their bounds. And he having gone into the ship, he having been possessed with a demon besought him that he might be with him. And Jesus permitted him not; but he says to him, Retire to thy house, to thine own, and announce to them what things the Lord did to thee, and he pitied thee. And he went away, and began to proclaim in Decapolis what Jesus did to him: and all were wondering. And Jesus having passed over again in the ship on the other side, a great crowd was gathered together to him: and he was by the sea.

And they sailed over to the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. And he coming upon land, a certain man met him from the city, who had demons of long times, and put on no garment, and abode not in a house, but in the tombs. And having seen Jesus and cried out, he fell before him, and with a great voice said, What to me and thee, Jesus, Son of God most high? I implore thee, thou wouldst not torment me. read more.
For he proclaimed to the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For many times it snatched him: and he was bound with chains, and being guarded with fetters; and bursting the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the deserts. And Jesus asked him, saying, What is the name to thee? And he said, Legion: for many demons came into him. And he besought him that he would not command him to go away into the abyss. And a herd of numerous swine was there feeding on the mount: and they besought him that he would permit them to come into the swine. And he permitted them. And the demons having come out of the man, came into the swine: and the herd rushed down the precipice into the lake, and were choked. And they feeding, having seen that done, fled, and having departed, proclaimed in the city and in the fields. And they went out to see that done; and came to Jesus, and they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting clothed, and being of sound mind, at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid. And they, having seen, proclaimed to them how he possessed with a demon was saved. And all the multitude of the country round about, of the Gadarenes, asked him to depart from them; for they were held fast by great fear: and he having gone into the ship, returned. And the man from whom the demons had gone out implored him to be with him: and Jesus loosed him, saying, Return to thy house and recount what God did to thee. And he departed, proclaiming throughout the whole city what Jesus did to him. And it was in Jesus' returning, the crowd received him; for all were expecting him.


And after six days Jesus takes Peter, James, and John his brother, and brings them up into a high mountain apart. And he was transformed before them: and his face shone as the sun, and his garments were white as the light. And, behold, Moses and Elias were seen to them, conversing with him. read more.
And Peter, having answered, said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: let us make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. He yet speaking, behold, a shining cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son, in whom I was contented; hear ye him. And the disciples, having heard, fell upon their face, and were greatly afraid. And Jesus, having come, touched them, and said, Be raised, and be not afraid. And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus alone. And they, coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the sight to none, even till the Son of man rises from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus having answered, said to them, Elias truly comes first and will re-establish all things. And I say to you, That Elias has already come, and they knew him not, but did by him whatever they would. So also the Son of man is about to suffer by them. Then understood the disciples that he told them of John the Baptist.

And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up into a high mountain apart alone: and he was transformed before them. And his garments were shining, exceeding white, such as no fuller on earth can make white. And Elias was seen to them, with Moses: and they were speaking together with Jesus. read more.
And Peter having answered, says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he knew not what he said; for they were terrified. And a cloud was overshadowing them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear ye him. And suddenly, having looked around, they no more saw any one, but Jesus alone with them. And they coming down from the mount, he charged them that they recount to none what they saw, except when the Son of man should arise from the dead. And they held the word firmly to themselves, searching out together what it is to arise from the dead. And having asked him, saying, That the scribes say that Elias must first come. And he having answered, said to them, Elias truly having first come, restores all things; and how it has been written of the Son of man, that he suffer many things; and be set at nought. But I say to you, that Elias also has come, and they did to him whatever they would, as it has been written of him.

And it was after these words about eight days, and having taken Peter and John and James, he went up into the mount to pray. And it was in his praying, the look of his face was another, and his clothing white, shooting forth lightning. And, behold, two men were speaking with him, which were Moses and Elias: read more.
Who, having been seen in glory spake of his exit which he was about to complete in Jerusalem. And Peter and they with him were heavy with sleep: and having waked, they saw his glory, and two men standing with him. And it was in their having withdrawn from him, Peter said to Jesus, Ruler, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tents, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he says. And he saying these things, there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them: and they were afraid in their going into the cloud. And there was a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly beloved Son: hear him. And in there having been a voice, Jesus was found alone. And they were silent, and announced nothing to any one in those days, of what they had seen.


And in that day Jesus, having come out of the house, sat by the sea. And many crowds were assembled together to him; therefore having entered into the ship, he sat down, and all the crowd stood upon the sea shore. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, he, the sower, went forth to sow. read more.
And in his sowing some truly fell by the way, and the flying things came and swallowed them down. And others fell upon rocky places where it had not much earth, and quickly it sprang forth, for it had no depth of earth. And the sun having risen, it was parched up; and for the not having a root, it was dried up. And others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them. And others fell upon good earth and gave fruit, some truly a hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty. He having ears to hear let him hear. And the disciples having come near, said to him, Why speakest thou to them in parables? And having answered, he said to them, For to you it was given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to them it was not given. For whoever has shall be given to him, and he shall have in excess; and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him. For this I speak to them in parables: for seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And the prophecy of Esaias is filled up in them, saying, In hearing shall ye hear, and not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive. For the heart of this people has been thickened, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes have they closed; lest perhaps they should see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I should heal them. But happy your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say to you, that many prophets and just desired eagerly to see what ye see, and saw not; and to hear what ye hear, and heard not. Therefore hear ye the parable of him sowing. Every one hearing, and not understanding, the evil one comes, and carries off that sown in his heart. This is he having sown by the way. And he having sown upon rocky places, this is he hearing the word, and quickly with joy receiving it; And has no root in himself, but is for a time; and there being pressure or expulsion for the word, straightly is he offended. And he having sown among thorns, this is he hearing the word; and the care of this time, and the deceit of riches, choke the word, and it is unfruitful. But he having sown upon good earth is he hearing the word, and understanding; who indeed bears fruit, and who makes truly a hundred, and who sixty, and who thirty.

And again he began to teach by the sea: and a great crowd was gathered together to him, so that he, having gone into the ship, sat in the sea; and all the crowd was by the sea upon land. And he taught them in parables many things, and said to them in his teaching, Hear ye; behold, he sowing went out to sow: read more.
And it was in sowing some truly fell by the way, and the flying things of heaven came and ate it down. And other fell upon stony places, where it had not much earth; and quickly it sprang forth, for it had no deepness of earth: And the sun having risen, it was parched up; and because it had no root, it was dried up. And other fell in thorns, and the thorns came up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit. And other fell in good earth, and gave fruit coming up and increasing; and one brought thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said to them, He having ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they about him with the twelve asked him of the parable. And he said to them, To you has it been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to those without, all are in parables: That seeing they might see, and not know; and hearing they might hear, and not understand; lest they turn back, and their sins be remitted to them. And he says to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables? He sowing sows the word. And these are they by the way, where the word is sown; and when they hear, quickly comes Satan, and takes away the word sown in their hearts. And these are likewise they sown upon stony places; who, when they hear, quickly with joy receive it; And have no root in themselves, but are temporary; then pressure having been or expulsion for the word, quickly are they scandalized. And these are they sown in thorns; these are they hearing the word. And the cares of this time, and the deceit of riches, and eager desires about remaining things, coming in, choke the word, and it is unfruitful. And these are they sown on good earth; who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred. And he said to them, Much less the light comes that it be set under a bushel, or under a bed; that it be not set upon a candlestick. For not anything is hid, which should not be manifested; neither was concealed, but that it should come clear. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear. And he said to them, See ye how ye hear: with what measure ye measure, shall be measured to you: and to you hearing, shall be added. For whoever should have, to him shall be given: and whoever has not, also what he has shall be taken away from him.

And a great crowd being together, and coming to him in the city, he spake by a parable: The sower went out to sow his seed; and in his sowing, some truly fell by the way, and was trodden down, and the fowls of heaven devoured it. And other fell upon a rock; and having brought forth, was dried up, for it had no moisture. read more.
And other fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew together and choked it. And other fell upon good earth; and having brought forth, made fruit, a hundredfold. Saying these, he called out, He having ears to hear, let him hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What may this parable be? And he said, To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: and to the rest in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God. And they by the way are they hearing; then comes the devil, and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they should be saved. And they upon the rock, who, when they hear, with joy receive the word; and they have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of trial fly away. And that having fallen into thorns, and they are they having heard, and with cares and riches, and pleasures of life going forth, are choked, and bring not to maturity. And that in the good earth, they are they which, in a fair and good heart, having heard, keep the word, and bring forth fruit with patience. None, having lighted a light, covers it with a vessel, or puts under a bed; but sets upon a candlestick, that they entering might see the light. For there is nothing hid, which should not be made manifest; nor concealed, which should not be made known, and come clear. See therefore how ye hear: for whoever should have, shall be given him; and whoever should not have, and what he seems to have shall be taken away from him.


And a leprous one came to him, beseeching him, and supplicating him on his knees, and saying to him, That if thou wouldst, thou canst cleanse me. And Jesus, having felt compassion, having stretched out the hand, touched him, and says to him, I will: be thou cleansed. And he having spoken, quickly the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. read more.
And having threatened him violently, quickly he cast him forth: And says to him, See thou say nothing to any one: but retire, shew thyself to the priest, and bring forward for thy cleansing what things Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim many things, and to spread the word a report, so that he could no more openly enter the city, but was without in desert places: and they come to him from every quarter.

And it was in his being in one of the cities, and behold a man full of leprosy: and having seen Jesus, having fallen upon the face, supplicated him, saying, Lord, if thou wouldst, thou canst cleanse me. And having put forth the hand, he touched him, saying, I will: be thou cleansed. And the leprosy departed from him. And he enjoined him to tell none: but having departed, show thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. read more.
But the more the word passed through concerning him: and many crowds came together to hear, anti to be cured from their weaknesses. And he was retreating into the deserts, and praying.

And, behold, a leper, having come, worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt thou canst cleanse me. And having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him, saying, I will; be thou cleansed and instantly his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus says to him, See thou tell no one; but retire, show thyself to the priest, and bring near the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.


And it was when Jesus finished these words he removed from Galilee, and came from the bounds of Judea beyond Jordan; And many crowds followed him; and he cured them there.

And having risen from thence, he comes into the bounds of Judea, through the other side of Jordan: and crowds came together again to him; and, as he was accustomed, again he taught them.

And he was teaching in one of the assemblies in the sabbaths. And, behold, there was a woman having a spirit of weakness eighteen years, and was bent together, and not able wholly to lift up the head. And having seen her, Jesus called to, and said to her, Woman, thou hest been loosed from thy weakness. read more.
And he put his hands on her: and immediately she was set upright, and honoured God. And the ruler of the assembly having answered, feeling pain because Jesus cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd, Six days there are in which they ought to work; in those therefore, coming, be ye cured, and not the day of the sabbath. Then answered the Lord and said, Hypocrite, does not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and leading away, give to drink? And this being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, behold, eighteen years, ought she not to be loosed from this bond the day of the sabbath And he saying these things, all opposed to him were ashamed: and the crowd rejoiced for all the glorious things done by him. And he said, To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it? It is like a kernel of mustard, which a man having taken, cast into his garden; and it grew, and became into a great tree; and the fowls of heaven encamped in its young shoots. And again he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, until the whole was leavened. And he went through cities and towns, teaching, and making his passage to Jerusalem. And a certain said to him, Lord, if few saved? And he said to them, Strive earnestly to enter through the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter in, and shall not be able. From the time when the master of the house should rise up, and shut the door, and ye begin to stand without, and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us: and having answered, he will say to you, I know not whence ye are: Then will ye begin to say, We ate and drank before thee, and thou didst teach in our streets. And he will say, I say to you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workmen of iniquity. Weeping shall be there and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you cast without. And they shall come from the risings, and the settings, and from north, and south, and they shall recline in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. In the same day certain Pharisees came near, saying to him, Come out, and go from thence: for Herod wishes to kill thee. And he said to them, Having gone, say to that fox, Behold, I cast out demons, and complete cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I am completed. But I must go to day and to morrow and the following: for it is not possible for a prophet to perish out of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets, and striking with stones those having been sent to her; how often I wished to gather thy children together, which manner a hen her young brood under the wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left to you a desert: and truly I say to you, That ye should not see me, until it should come when ye say, Praised he coming in the name of the Lord.


In that time Jesus went in the sabbaths through the standing corn and his disciples were hungry, and begen to pluck the ears, end eat. And the Pharisees, seeing, said to him, Behold, thy disciples do what is not lawful to do in the sabbath. And he said to them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they with him; read more.
How he went into the house of God, and ate the loaves of setting up, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor those with him, but for the priests alone? Or have ye not read in the law, that in the sabbaths, the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are innocent? But I say to you, That he here is greater than the temple. And if ye knew what it is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the innocent. For the Lord of the sabbath is also the Son of man.

And it was he passed by through the standing corn in the sabbaths: and his disciples began to make the way, picking out the ears of corn. And the Pharisees said to him, Behold, why do they in the sabbaths what is not lawful And he said to them, Did ye never read what David did, when he had need, and hungered, himself, and those with him? read more.
How he went into the house of God to Abiathar the chief priest, and ate the loaves of setting up, which is not lawful to eat but for priests, and gave to those being with him? And he said to them, The sabbath was for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

And it was in the second first sabbath, he went through the standing corn; and his disciples pulled out the ears of corn, and ate, crumbling in small pieces with hands. And certain of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do in the sabbaths And having answered to them, Jesus said, Have ye not read this, which David did when he hungered, and they being with him; read more.
How he went into the house of God, and took the loaves of the setting before, and ate, and gave also to those with him; which is not lawful to eat, except for priests alone? And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.


And he said to them in his teaching, Look from the scribes, wishing to walk in robes, and greetings in market-places, And first seats in synagogues, and first place at tables in first meals: They eating in widows' houses, and praying long for a pretext: these shall receive more abundant judgment.

And all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, Hold from the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving greetings in the markets, and precedencies in assemblies, and the first places at tables at suppers; Who devour widows' houses, and for a pretence pray at great length; these shall receive more abundant judgment.


And he went again into the synagogue; and a man was there having the hand dried up. And they were observing him narrowly, if in the sabbaths he will heal him; that they might accuse him. And he says to the man having the hand dried up, Rise in the midst. read more.
And he says to them, Is it lawful in the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? to save a soul, or to kill? And they were silent. And having looked round upon them with anger, grieved for the hardness of their heart, he says to the man, Stretch out thy hand. And he stretched out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. And the Pharisees having come out, quickly with the Herodians were making counsel against him, that they might destroy him.

And it was also in another sabbath, he came into the assembly, and taught: and a man was there, and his right hand was withered. And the scribes and Pharisees observed him narrowly, if he will heal in the sabbath: that they might find accusation against him. And he knew their reflections, and said to the man having the withered hand, Arise, and stand in the midst. And having risen, he stood. read more.
Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you; What is lawful in the sabbath; to do good, or to do evil? to save the life, or destroy And having looked round upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other. And they were filled with want,of understanding; and they discoursed with one another What they may do to Jesus.

And having passed from thence, he went into their assembly; And, behold, there was a man having the hand withered. And they asked him saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbaths? that they might expose him. And he said to them, Which of you shall be the man who shall have one sheep, and if this should fall into a pit in the sabbaths, will he not take hold of it, and raise it up? read more.
How much then does a man surpass a sheep? So that it is lawful to do well in the sabbaths. Then says he to the man, Stretch out thy hand; and he stretched it out; and it was restored, sound as the other. And the Pharisees took counsel against him, having gone out, that they might kill him.


And again he went into Capernaum after the days; and it was heard that he is in the house. And quickly many were gathered together, so as no more to have room, neither at the door: and he spake the word to them. And they come to him, bringing a paralytic, lifted up by four. read more.
And not being able to draw near to him for the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was and having excavated, they let down his couch upon which the paralytic was laid. And Jesus having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, Child, thy sins have been remitted to thee. And certain of the scribes were sitting there, and discussing in their hearts, Why does this thus speak blasphemies? who can remit sins but the one God And Jesus quickly having known that they discuss in themselves, says to them, Why discuss ye these things in your hearts Why is it easier to say to the paralytic, Sins have been remitted to thee? or to say, Arise, lift up thy couch, and walk? And that ye might know that the Son of man has power to remit sins upon earth, (he says to the paralytic) I say to thee, Arise, and lift up thy couch, and retire to thy house. And he was quickly raised up; and having lifted up the couch, he went forth before all, so that all were affected in mind, and praised God, saying, That we never saw it thus.

And it was in one of the days, and he was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting, who were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was for healing them. And, behold, men bringing upon a bed a man who was affected with paralysis; and they sought to bring him, and set before him. And not finding how they might bring him in, for the crowd, having ascended upon the house, they put him down through the tiles, with the small couch, in the midst before Jesus. read more.
And having seen their faith, he said to him, Man, thy sins are remitted to thee. And the scribes and Pharisees began to reason with themselves, saying, Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can remit sins but God alone? And Jesus having known their reflections, having answered, said to them, What do ye reason with yourselves in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are remitted to thee; or to say, Arise and walk? And that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to remit sins, (he said to him affected with paralysis,) I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy conch, go into thy house. And immediately having risen before them, having taken up on what he lay, he went away to his house, honouring God. And amazement took them all, and they honoured God, and were filled with fear, saying, That we have seen wonderful things to day.

And, behold, they brought him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, child thy sins are let go to thee. And behold, certain of the scribes said in themselves, This defames. And Jesus seeing their reflections, said, Why reflect ye within your hearts? read more.
For why is it easier to say, Sins are let go to thee; or say, Arise and walk? But that ye might know that the Son of man has power upon earth to let go sins, (then he says to the paralytic), Having risen, take up thy bed and retire to thy house. And having risen, he went away into his house. And the crowds, seeing, admired, and praised God, giving such power to men.


And leaving them, he went without the city, to Bethany; and lodged there. And in the morn, having returned into the city, he hungered. And having seen one fig tree by the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only; and he says to it, Let no more fruit be from thee forever. And instantly the fig tree was dried up. read more.
And the disciples, seeing, wondered, saying, How suddenly was the fig tree dried up! And Jesus, having answered, said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and be not removed, ye shall do not only that of the fig tree, but also to this mountain, if ye should say, Be thou lifted up, and cast into the sea, it shall be. And all things, whatever ye ask in prayer, believing, shall ye receive.

And in the morrow, they having come from Bethany, he hungered : And having seen a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if yet he shall find any thing upon it; and having come to it, he found nothing except leaves; for it was not time of the figs. And Jesus having answered, said to it, May none eat more fruit of thee forever. And his disciples heard.

And in the morning, coming near, they saw the fig tree having been dried up from the roots. And Peter, having recalled to mind, says to him, Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is dried up. And Jesus having answered, says to them, Have the faith of God.


And directly the Spirit casts him, out into the desert. And he was there in the desert forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with wild beasts; and messengers were serving him.

And Josias begat Jeehonias and his brethren upon the transferring of Babylon

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from Jordan, and was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, Being tempted forty days by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days: and they having ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, say thou to this stone that it might be bread. read more.
And Jesus answered to him saying, It has been written, That not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word of God. And the devil, bringing him into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable globe in an instant of time. And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for to me has it been delivered; and to whom I will I give it. Therefore if thou worship before me, all shall be thine. And having answered him Jesus said, Retire behind me, Satan: for it has been written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him upon the small wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God; cast thyself down from hence: For it has been written, That he shall charge his messengers concerning thee, to watch over thee: And upon hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou shouldest strike thy foot against a stone. And Jesus having answered said to him, That it has been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And having ended all the trial, the devil departed from him for a time.



And after these, he went out, and saw a publican, by name Levi, sitting by the custom-house; and he said to him, Follow me. And having left all, having risen, he followed him.

And he went out again by the sea; and all the crowd came to him, and he taught them. And passing by, he saw Levi, him of Alpheus, sitting by the customhouse, and he says to him, Follow me. And having risen, he followed him.


And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What reasoned ye to yourselves in the way And they were silent; for they discussed to one another in the way, who the greatest. And having sat down, he called the twelve, and says to them, If any wish to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all. read more.
And having taken a young child, he set him in the midst of them: and having taken it up in his arms, he said to them, Whoever should receive ones of such young children in my name, receives me: and whoever should receive me, receives not me, but him sending me. And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name, who follows not us: and we checked him, for he follows not us. And Jesus said, Check him not: for there is no one who shall do power in my name, and shall be able quickly to revile me. For whoever is not against us, is for us. For whoever should give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are of Christ, verily I say to you, he should not lose his reward. And whoever should scandalize one of these little ones believing in me, it is good for him rather if a millstone is put about his neck, and he be cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off; it is good for thee rather to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go away into hell, into inextinguishable fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into inextinguishable fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, cast it out: it is good for thee, one eyed, to come into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. For all shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt good: but if the salt be saltless, with what will ye prepare it? Have salt in yourselves, and live in peace one with another.

And there came up a conference among them, thus, which of them should be the greatest. And Jesus, having seen the reflection of their heart, having taken up a child, set it by himself, And he said to them, Whoever should receive this child in my name receives me: and whoever should receive me, receives him having sent me: for he being less among you all, the same shall be great. read more.
And John having answered said, Ruler, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we hindered him, because he follows not with us. And Jesus said, Hinder him not: for who is not against us is for us.


And Jesus came into the temple of God, and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the money-changers' tables, and the seats of those selling doves,

And Jesus came into Jerusalem, and into the temple : and having looked around upon all things, the hour being already coming, he went into Bethany with the twelve.

And having come into the temple, he began to cast out them selling and buying in it;


And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God, and heal the sick. And he said to them, Take away nothing for the way, neither rods, nor wallet, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats apiece. read more.
And into whatever house ye come in, remain there, and come out thence. And as many as should not receive you, having come out of that city, and shake off the cloud of dust from your feet for testimony against them. And having gone out, they went through the towns, proclaiming the good news, and healing every where.

And he wondered for their unbelief. And he went about the towns teaching. And he calls the twelve, and began to send them, two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; And enjoined them, that they take nothing for the way, except a rod only; no travelling-sack, no bread, no brass in the purse: read more.
But bound with sandals.; and not clothed with two coats. And he said to them, Wherever ye come into a house, there remain ye even till ye should come forth thence. And as many as receive you not, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the heap of dust under your feet for testimony to them. Truly I say to you, It shall be more supportable for the Sodomites or Gomorrhites in the day of judgment, than that city. And having gone out, they proclaimed that they repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed many sick with oil, and they were cured.


Then certain of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, Teacher, we wish to see a sign from thee. And he having answered, said to them, An evil generation and an adulteress seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights; so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. read more.
The Ninevite men shall rise up in judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the proclamation of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas here. The queen of the South shall be raised up in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the end of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon here. And when the unclean spirit has gone out from a man, he passes through sterile places, seeking rest, and finds not. Then says he, I will return into my house, whence I came out; and having come, he finds vacant; having been swept, and put in order. Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits, worse than he, and having come in, they dwell there: and the last things of that man are worse than the first. So also shall it be to this evil generation.

And others, tempting, sought a sign of him from heaven. And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is rendered desolate; and a house against a house falls. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how should his kingdom stand ? for ye say by Beelzebul I cast out demons. read more.
And if I by Beelzebnl cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast. out? for this shall they be your judges. And if by the finger of God I cast out demons, then has the kingdom of God got beforehand to you. When the strong, completely armed, should watch his court-yard, his possessions are in peace : And when a stronger than he, having come, conquers him, he takes away his complete armor in which he trusted, and distributes his spoils. He not being with me is against me : and he not gathering with me scatters. When the unclean spirit comes out from a man, he passes through places wanting water, seeking rest; and not finding, he says, I will return to my house whence I came out. And having come, he finds it swept and set in order. Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself; and having entered, they dwell there : and the last things of that man are worse than the first. And it was in his speaking these things, a certain woman of the crowd, having lifted up the voice, said to him, Happy the womb having borne thee, and breasts thou didst suck. And he said, Rather, happy they hearing the word of God, and watching it. And crowds being collected, he began to say, This is an evil generation: it seeks a sign; and no sign shall be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall be the Son of man to this generation. The queen of the south shall be raised up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, more than Solomon here. The Ninevite men shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the proclamation of Jonas; and, behold, more than Jonas here. And none, having lighted a lamp, puts in secret, neither under a bushel, but upon the chandelier, that they coming in should see the light. The light of the body is the eye; when therefore thine eye be plain, also thy whole body is clear: and when it be evil, also thy body dark. Take heed therefore lest the light in thee be darkness. If therefore thy whole body clear, not having any part dark, the whole shall be clear, as when a lamp enlightens thee with its gleam.


Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee, with her sons, worshipping, and asking something of him. And he said to her, What wilt thou? She says to him, Say that these my two sons might sit, the one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom. And Jesus having answered, said, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup which I am about to drink, and be immersed with the immersion which I am immersed? They say to him, We can. read more.
And he says to them, Truly my cup shall ye drink, and with the immersion which I am immersed shall ye be immersed; but to sit on my right, and on my left, is not mine to give, but to those it was prepared for by my Father. And the ten having heard, felt pain about the two brethren. But Jesus, having called them, said, Ye know that the rulers rule over their nations, and the great exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you; but whoever should wish to be great among you, let him be your attendant; And whoever would be first among you, let him be your servant: As the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his soul a ransom for many.

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying, Teacher, we wish that whatever we should ask, thou wouldst do for us. And he said to them, What wish you me to do for you? And they said to him, Give us that we might sit, one from thy right hand, and one front thy left, in thy glory. read more.
And Jesus said to them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup which I drink? and the immersion with which I am immersed to be immersed And they said to him, We can. And Jesus said to them, Truly the cup which I drink shall ye drink; and the immersion with which I am immersed, shall ye be immersed. And to sit from my right hand, and from my left is not mine to give; but for whom it has been prepared. And the ten having heard, began to feel pain about James and John. And Jesus having called them, says to them, Ye know that they thinking to be first of the nations rule over them; and their great ones exercise authority over them. And it shall not be so among you: but whoever should wish to be great among you, shall be your attendant: And whoever of you should wish to be the first, he shall be the servant of all. For also the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his soul a ransom for many.


And certain speaking of the temple, that it has been arranged with beautiful stones and decorations, he said, These which ye see, the days shall come, in which stone shall not be left upon stone, which shall not be loosened And they asked him, saying, Teacher, when therefore shall these be and what the sign when these should be about to be read more.
And he said, See ye, be not deceived: for many shall come in my name,. saying, That I am; and the time has drawn near: therefore go not after them. And when ye hear of wars and tumults, be not terrified: for these must first be; but the end not immediately. Then said he to them, Nation shall be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes in places, and famines, and scourges shall be; and terrific objects and great signs shall be from heaven. And before all these shall they cast their hands upon you, and drive out, delivering to assemblies, and prisons, being brought before kings and leaders for my name's sake. And it shall turn out to you for a testimony. Set therefore in your hearts, not to practise beforehand to justify yourselves: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all they opposed to you shall not be able to contradict nor withstand. And ye shall also be delivered up by parents, and brethren, and kinsmen, and friends; and they shall put of you to death. And ye shall be hated by all for my name's sake. And there shall not a hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation has drawn near. Then let those in Judea flee to the mountain; and those in the midst of her withdraw; and let those in the countries not go into her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things having been written, should be completed. And woe to them having in the womb, and to them giving suck, in those days! for there shall be great necessity upon the land, and anger upon this people. And they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and they shall be made captives in all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by all the nations, till the times of the nations should be completed. And signs shall be in the sun, and moon, and stars; and upon earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and commotion resounding. Men losing breath for fear and expectation of things coming on the habitable globe: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with much power and glory. And these things beginning to be, get out of danger, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near. And he spake to them a parable; See the fig tree, and all trees; When they should already throw forth, seeing of yourselves ye know that summer is already near. So also ye, when ye see these being, know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly I say to you, That this generation should not pass away, even till all things should be. Heaven and earth shall pass away: and my words shall not pass away. And attend to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be loaded with dizziness, caused by excess, and drunkenness, and cares of life, and that day come upon you unexpectedly. For as a snare shall it come upon all remaining upon the face of all, the earth. Watch therefore, in all time praying, that ye be deemed worthy to escape all these about to be, and to stand before the Son of man.


And after these things, to two of them, walking about, was he manifested in another form, they going into the field. And they having come announced to the rest: neither did they believe them.

And, behold, two of them were going in the same day to a town being about sixty stadia from Jerusalem, the name of which Emmaus. And they were conversing with one another concerning all things having happened. And it was in their conversing and seeking out together, and Jesus himself, having drawn near, went with them. read more.
And their eyes were holden not to know him. And he said to them, What words these which, walking about, ye discuss with one another, and are of gloomy aspect? And one having answered, to whom the name Cleopas, said to him, Sojournest thou alone in Jerusalem, and knowest not the things done in it in these days? And Jesus said to them, What things? And they said to him, The things concerning Jesus the Nazarite, who was a man, a prophet, powerful in work and words before God and all the people: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to the judgment of death, and crucified him. And we hoped that this is he about to redeem Israel: but also with all these things, to day it brings the third day from which these things were. And also certain women of ours moved us out of place, having been early at the tomb; And not finding his body, they came, saying also to have seen a vision of messengers, who say he is living. And certain of them with us departed to the tomb, and found so as the women said: and him they saw not. And he said to them, O ye unwise, and slow in heart to believe in all things which the prophets spake: Must not Christ suffer these things, and enter into his glory? And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained clearly to them in all the writings concerning himself. And they drew near to the town where they were going: and he laid claim to go still further. And they constrained him, saying, Remain with us: for it is near eve, and the day has declined. And he went in to remain with them. And it was in his reclining at table with them, having taken bread, he praised, and having broken, bestowed upon them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he was removed from their view. And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning in us, as he spake to us in the way, and as he opened the writings to us And having risen the same hour, they returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and those with them. Saying, That truly the Lord was risen, and was seen to Simon. And they recounted the things in the way, and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread.


And Jesus came into the temple of God, and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the money-changers' tables, and the seats of those selling doves, And he says to them, It was written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; and ye have made it a den of robbers.

And the Pharisees having heard that he muzzled the Sadducees, were gathered upon the same. And one of them, skilled in the law, asked, tempting him, and saying, Teacher, which the great command in the law? read more.
And Jesus said to him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the first and the great command. And the second like it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. In these two commands hang the whole law and the prophets.

And one of the scribes having come, having heard them seeking out together, knowing that he answered them well, asked him, Which is the first command of all? And Jesus answered him, That the first of all the commands, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole mind, and from thy whole strength: this the first command. read more.
And the second like it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. No other command is greater than these. And the scribe said to him, Well, Teacher, in truth hast thou spoken: for one God is; and there is no other but he: And to love him from the whole heart, and from the whole understanding, and from the whole soul, and from the whole strength, and to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the whole burnt offerrings, and the sacrifices. And Jesus having seen him that he answered understandingly, said to him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And none dared to ask him any more.


Then the soldiers of the leader, having taken Jesus to the Pretorium, gathered together the whole band against him. And having unclothed him, they put round him a scarlet, loose, warm cloak. And having twined a crown of thorns, they put upon, his head: and a reed upon his right hand: and having fallen upon the knees before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! read more.
And having spit upon him, they took the reed, and struck upon his head. And when they mocked him, they put off from him the loose, warm cloak, and put on him his garments, and brought him away to crucify.

And the soldiers led him away within the hall, which is the Pretorium; and they call together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple, and put round him, having woven, a thorny crown. And they began to greet him, Hail, O King of the Jews read more.
And they struck his head with a reed, and they spit upon him, and having placed the knees, they worshipped him. And when they mocked him, they put off the purple from him, and clothed him with his own garments, and led him out that they might crucify him.


And it was in Jesus' returning, the crowd received him; for all were expecting him.

And Jesus having passed over again in the ship on the other side, a great crowd was gathered together to him: and he was by the sea.

And having entered into a ship, he passed over and came into his own city.


And Jesus, having gone forth from thence, withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman, a Canaanite, having come forth from those boundaries, cried out to him, saying, Pity me, Lord, son of David; my daughter is badly possessed with an evil spirit. And he answered her not a word. And his disciples, having come, asked him, saying, Loose her; for she cries out after us. read more.
And he, having answered, said, I was not sent except to the sheep having been lost, of the house of Israel. And she, having come, worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. And he, having answered, said, It is not good to take the children's bread, and cast it to the little dogs. And she said, Yes, Lord; for the little dogs also eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their lord. Then Jesus, having answered, said to her, O woman, great thy faith: let it be to thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

And arising from thence, he departed into the bounds of Tyre and Sidon, and having come into the house, he would have none know; and he could not be hid. For a woman having heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet: And the woman was a Grecian, a Syrophenician by birth; and she entreated him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. read more.
And Jesus said to her, Permit the children first to be satisfied; for it is not good to take the children's bread, and cast to little dogs. And she answered and says to him, Yes, Lord: for also the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs. And he said to her, For this word retire; the demon has gone out of thy daughter. And having departed to her house, she found the demon gone forth, and the daughter cast upon the bed.


Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was made like a man sowing good seed in his field: And in men's sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and went away. And when the grass sprouted up and made fruit, then appeared the tares also. read more.
And the servants of the master of the house having come, said to him, Lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field whence therefore has it tares? And he said to them, A man, an enemy, has done this: and his servants said to him, Wilt thou therefore we, having departed, should gather them And he said, No; lest gathering the tares, ye root up the wheat together with them. Suffer both to grow together till harvest; and in time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; and gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of the heavens is like a kernel of mustard, which a man taking, sowed in his field: Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots. Another parable spake he to them; The kingdom of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of wheaten flour, till the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus in parables to the crowds; and without a parable spake he not to them. So that that spoken by the prophet might be filled up; saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will declare things having been hid from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus having dismissed the crowds, went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field. And he having answered, said to them, He sowing the good seed is the Son of man: And the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one; And the enemy having sowed them is the devil; and the harvest is the end of time; and the reapers are the messengers. As therefore the tares are gathered together and burnt in fire; so shall it be in the end of this time. The Son of man shall send forth his messengers, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all scandals, and those doing iniquity; And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just emit a brilliant light as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He having ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a treasure hid in the field; which a man finding, concealed, and from his joy, he retires, and all things which he has he sells, and he purchases that field. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, a wholesale merchant, seeking beautiful pearls: Who, finding one pearl of great value, having departed, he sold all things which he had, and purchased it. Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like to a large sweep-net, cast into the sea, and having gathered of every kind: Which, when it was filled, having raised up upon the shore, and having set down, they gathered the good things into vessels, and the rotten things they cast without. So shall it be in the end of time; the messengers shall come forth, and separate the evil from the midst of the just, And they shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall there be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Jesus says to them, Have ye understood all these? They say to him, Yes, Lord. And he said to them, Therefore every scribe, having been a disciple in the kingdom of the heavens, is like to a man, master of a house, who casts out from his treasure new things and old. And it was when Jesus finished these parables, he removed thence.

And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed upon the earth; And he sleep, and should rise night and day, and the seed should sprout, and be raised; how, he knows not. For the earth bears fruit spontaneously; first the grass, then the ear, then the full wheat in the ear. read more.
But when the fruit should yield, quickly he sends the sickle, for the harvest is brought forward. And he said, To what should we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable should we hold it forth? As a kernel of mustard, which, when it be sown in the earth, is smaller than all seeds upon the earth: And when it be sown, it comes up and is greater than all vegetables, and makes great young shoots; so that the flying things of heaven can encamp under its shadow. And with many such parables spake he the word to them, as they were able to hear. And without a parable spake he not to them: and apart, he solved all to his disciples.


And having passed from thence, Jesus came to the sea of Galilee; and having gone up into a mountain, he sat there. And many crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them: So that the crowds wondered, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.

And again, having gone out from the bounds of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, in the midst of the bounds of Decapolis. And they bring to him a deaf one, tongue-tied; and they beseech him that he would put the hand upon him. And having taken him away from the crowd apart, he put his fingers in his ears, and having spit, he touched his tongue; read more.
And having looked up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him, Ephphatha, which is, Be opened. And quickly his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake rightly. And he charged them that they should say to none: and as much as he charged them, they proclaimed more abundantly; And above measure were they struck with amazement, saying, Well has he done all things: he makes the deaf to hear, and the speechless to speak.


And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many; And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared. And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. read more.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come. And approaching, that servant announced to his lord these things. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as thou hest commanded, and yet there is place. And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and hedges, and compel to come in, that my house may be filled up. For I say to you, That none of those men called shall taste of my supper.

And Jesus, having answered, spake to them in parables, saying, The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made a nuptial feast for his son. And he sent his servants to those having been called to the nuptial feast: and they would not come. read more.
And again, he sent other servants, saying, Say to the called: Behold, I have prepared my supper; my bulls and stall-fed killed, and all prepared: come to the nuptials. And they, not having heeded, departed, one truly to his own field, and one to his traffic: And the rest, having seized his servants, were insolent, and killed them. And the king, having heard, was angry, and having sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then says he to his servants, Truly the nuptial feast is prepared, and those called were not worthy. Go ye, therefore, to the passages of the ways, and as many as ye should find, call to the nuptial feast. And those servants, having come to the ways, gathered together all, as many as they found, also both the evil and good, and the nuptial feast was filled with the reclining. And the king, having come in to behold the reclining, saw there a man not clad with the garment of the wedding: And he says to him, Friend, how camest thou in here, not having a garment of the nuptial feast? And he was muzzled. Then said the king to his servants, Having bound his feet and hands, take him away, and cast ye him into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, and few chosen.


An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed. And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves. And Jesus said to them, Attend and keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. read more.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, Because we took no loaves. And Jesus having known, said to them, Why reason ye among yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have taken no loaves Do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of five thousand, and how many baskets ye took? Nor the seven loaves of four thousand, and how many wicker baskets ye took? How do ye not understand that I spake not to you concerning bread, to keep from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? Then understood they that he spake, not to keep from the leaven of bread, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

And having let them go, having gone again into the ship, he departed beyond. And they forgot to take loaves, and had not but one loaf with them in the ship. And he enjoined them, saying, See ye, look away from the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod. read more.
And they reasoned with one another, saying, Because we have no loaves. And Jesus having known, says to them, Why reason ye with yourselves, because ye have no loaves? observe ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and remember ye not? When I brake the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve. And when the seven to four thousand, the fillings of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. And he said to them, How do ye not understand


And it was in the days of his acceptation being completed, and he fixed his face to go into Jerusalem. And he sent messengers before his face: and having gone, they came into a town of Samaritans, in order to prepare for him. And they received him not, for his face was going to Jerusalem. read more.
And his disciples James and John having seen, said, O Lord, wilt thou that we should speak fire to come down from heaven, and destroy them, as also did Elias? And having turned he censured them, and said, Ye know not of what sort Of spirit ye are. For the Son of man came not to destroy men's souls, but to save them. And they proceeded into another town: And it was, they going in the way, a certain one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou shouldest go forth, Lord. And Jesus said to him, Foxes have dens, and fowls of heaven encampments; but the Son of man has not where he might lay down the head. And he said to another, Follow me. And he said, Lord, permit me having gone, first to inter my father. And Jesus said to him, Permit the dead to inter their own. dead; and thou, having gone, announce the kingdom of God. And another said, I will follow thee, Lord; and first permit me to take leave of those in my house. And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand upon the plough, and looking back, is adapted to the kingdom of God.

And the festival of the Jews was near, the Pitching of tents. Then said his brethren to him, Go away thence, and retire to Judea, that also thy disciples might see thy works which thou doest. For none does any thing in secret, and seeks himself to be in freedom of speech. If thou do these, make thyself manifest to the world. read more.
For neither believed his brethren in him. Then says Jesus to them, My time is not yet present: and your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to this festival: I go not yet up to the festival; for my time has not yet been completed. And speaking to them these things, he remained in Galilee. And when his brethren went up, then he went up to the festival, not openly, but as in secret. Then the Jews sought him in the festival, and said, Where is he


And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying to him, Is it lawful for a man to loose his wife for every cause And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read, that he having made from the beginning, made them male and female, And said, For this shall a man leave father and mother, and be joined to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh? read more.
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has yoked together, let not man separate. They say to him, Why then did Moses charge to give a writing of divorce, and loose her? He says to them that Moses for your hard heart permitted you to loose your wives: and from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, That whoever should loose his wife, except for fornication, and marry another, commits adultery; and he having married the one loosed commits adultery. His disciples say to him, If the cause of a man is so with the woman, it is not profitable to marry. And he said to them, All have not room for this word, but to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from the mother's belly: and there are eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of the heavens. He being able to receive, let him receive.

And the Pharisees having come near, asked him, if it is lawful for a man to loose his wife; tempting him. And he, having answered, said to them, What did Moses command you? And they said, Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to loose. read more.
And Jesus, having answered, said to them, For your hard heart he wrote you this command. And from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this will a man leave his father and mother, and be attached to his wife; And they two shall be in one flesh: so that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God yoked together, let not man separate. And again in the house, his disciples asked him of the same. And he says to them, Whoever should loose his wife, and should marry another, commits adultery against her. And if a woman should loose her husband, and be married to another, she commits adultery.


And Jesus having known, withdrew from thence; and many crowds followed him, and he cured them all; And he rebuked them that they should not make him known: So that that spoken by the prophet Esaias might be completed, saying, read more.
Behold my servant, which I have chosen: my dearly beloved, in whom my soul was contented; I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim judgment to the nations. He shall not contend, nor cry; nor shall any hear his voice in the streets. He shall not break a bruised reed, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he should draw forth judgment to victory. And in his name shall the nations hope.

And Jesus withdrew with, his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, having heard what he did, came to him. And he said to his disciples, that a small vessel should remain for him, on account of the crowd, that they might not press him. read more.
For he cured many; so as to fall upon him that they might touch him, as many as had plagues. And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell before him, and cried, saying, That thou art the Son of God. And he censured them much, lest they should make him manifest.


And having left Nazareth behind, having come, he dwelt in Capernaum, near the sea, in the boundaries of Zabulon and Nephthalim: That it might be completed having been spoken through Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations: read more.
The people sitting in darkness saw a great light; and to them sitting in the room and shadow of death, light has sprung up to them.

And he came to Nazareth where he was brought up, and he went in, as was the custom to him in the day of the sabbaths, into the assembly, and stood up to read. And the book of Esaias the prophet was given to him. And having unfolded the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me for which he anointed me to announce good news to the poor; he has sent me to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim a remission to the captives, and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send away with remission the bruised, read more.
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. And having folded the book and given back to the servant, he sat down. And the eyes of all in the assembly were looking attentively upon him. And he began to say to them, That this day has this writing been filled up in your ears. And all bore him testimony and wondered at the words of grace going out of his mouth: and said, Is not this the son of Joseph And he said to them, Directly will ye say to me this proverb, Physician, cure thyself: what things we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. And he said; Truly I say to you, That not any prophet is acccepted in his country. And I tell you of a truth, many widows were in the days of Elias in Israel, When heaven was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine Was upon all the land; And to none of them was Elias sent, except to Sarepta, of Sidon, to a widow-woman. And many leprous were during Eliseus the prophet in Israel; and none of them was cleansed but Naaman the Syrian. And all in the assembly were filled with wrath, hearing these things, And having risen up, they cast him without the city, and they brought him to the brow of the mount upon which their city was built, to hurt him down. And he having passed through the midst of them, went away. And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the sabbaths.


And John having heard in prison the works of Christ, having sent two of his disciples, He said to him, Art thou he coming, or should we look for another? And Jesus having answered said to them, Having gone, announce to John what ye hear and see: read more.
The blind receive sight, and the lame walk, the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf bear, the dead are roused, and the poor have good news announced. And happy is he who shall not give cause of offence in me. And these going forth, Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye forth into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what went ye out to see? A man clad in soft garments? but they having soft things are in king's houses. But what went ye out to see? A prophet? yes, I say to you, and more eminent than a prophet. For this is he for whom it was Written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say to you, in the begotten of women has there not risen a greater than John the Immerser; but the less in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. From the days of John the Immerser till now the kingdom of the heavens is achieved by force, and they committing violence seize it eagerly. For all the prophets, And the law prophesied till John. And if ye will receive, this is Elias he about to come. He having ears to hear, let him hear. To what shall I liken this generation I it is like little boys sitting in market-places, and calling to their companions, And saying, We played the flute to you, and ye moved not; we lamented to you and ye lamented not. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has an evil spirit. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man a glutton, and wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinful; and wisdom has been justified from her children.

And John's disciples announced to him of all these things. And having called certain two of his disciples, John sent to Jesus, saying, Art thou he coming? or should we expect another? And the men, having approached to him, said, John the Immerser has sent us to thee, saying, Art thou he coming? or should we expect another? read more.
And in that same hour he cured many of diseases, and scourges, and evil spirits, and to many blind he conferred the favor to see. And Jesus having answered said to them, Having gone, announce to John what ye saw and heard; for the blind look up, the lame walk, the leprous are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor are announced good news. And happy is he, whoever should not be offended in me. And the messengers of John having departed, he began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye forth into the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those in glorious clothing, and being in luxury, are in royal abodes. But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, superior to a prophet. This is he of whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. For I say to you, Among the begotten of women none is a greater prophet than John the Immerser; and the less in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And all the people having heard, and the publicans, justified God, having been immersed with the immersion of John. And the Pharisees, and they pertaining to the law, rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not immersed by him. And the Lord said, To whom shall I liken the men of this generation? and to whom are they like? They are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We played the flute to you, and ye danced not; we lamented to you, and ye wept not. For John the Immerser came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, He has a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a man, a glutton, and wine-drinker, a friend of publicans and sinful. And wisdom was justified of all her children.


After these Jesus came and his disciples into the Judean land; and there he tarried with them, and immersed.

(Though Jesus himself immersed not, but his disciples,)


And he having lifted up his eyes upon his disciples, said, Happy the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God Happy the hungering now: for ye shall be satisfied. Happy the weeping now: for ye shall laugh. Happy are ye, when men hate you, and when they separate you, and reproach, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. read more.
Rejoice in that day, and skip: for, behold, your reward much in heaven: for according to these did their fathers to the prophets. But woe to you rich for ye take away your consolation. Woe to you having been filled for ye shall hunger. Woe to you laughing now! for ye shall grieve and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you! for according to these did their fathers to the false prophets. But I say to you hearing, Love your enemies; do good to those hating you, Praise those cursing you, and pray for those threatening you. To him striking thee upon the cheek hold also near the other; and from him taking away thy garments, and thou shouldest not retrench thy coat. And to every one asking thee, do thou give; and from him taking away thy things, re-demand not. And as ye wish that men would do to you, and do you to them likewise. And if ye love them loving you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful would love those loving them. And if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace is to you? for also the sinful do the same. And if ye lend of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace is to you? for also the sinful lend to the sinful, that they might receive back the like things. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing back; and your reward shall be much, and ye shall be sons of the Highest; for he is kind to the graceless and evil. Be ye therefore compassionate, as also your Father is compassionate. And judge not, and ye should not be judged: condemn not, and ye should not be condemned: loose ye, and ye shall be loosed. Give, and it shall be given you; good measure, yielded, and shaken, and overflowed, shall they give into your bosom: for with the same measure that ye measure, shall it be measured back to you. And he spake to them a parable, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? For the learner is not above his teacher: and every one set in order shall be as his teacher. And why beholdest thou the dried straw in thy brother's eye, and perceivest not the beam in thine own eye? Or how Canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, suffer that I cast out the mote in thine eye, thyself not beholding the beam in thine eye? O hypocrite, cast out first the beam from thine own eye, and then shalt thou see through to cast out the mote in thy brother's eye. For it is not a good tree making decayed fruit; neither a decayed tree making good fruit. For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns they gather not figs, nor of the bramble do they harvest the grape. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forward the good thing; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart, brings forward the evil thing: for out of the abundance of the heart does his month speak. And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not what I say? Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like to a man building a house, who digged, and deepened, and set the foundation upon the rock: and there having been an overflow, the river dashed against that house, and was not able to move it: for it was founded upon the rock. And he having heard, and not having done, is like a man having built a house upon the earth, without a foundation; against which the river dashed, and immediately it fell; and the breaking of that house was great.


And John having answered said, Ruler, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name; and we hindered him, because he follows not with us. And Jesus said, Hinder him not: for who is not against us is for us.

And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name, who follows not us: and we checked him, for he follows not us. And Jesus said, Check him not: for there is no one who shall do power in my name, and shall be able quickly to revile me.


And they go into Capernaum; and quickly in the sabbaths, having entered into the synagogue, he taught. And they were struck with amazement at his teaching; for he was teaching them as having power, and not as the scribes? And there was in the synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, read more.
Let alone; what to us and thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him. And the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came out of him. And all were amazed, so as to seek out with themselves, saying, What is this? what new teaching this? for with power also he commands the unclean spirits, and they listen to him. And a report of him went out quickly in the whole country about Galilee.

And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the sabbaths. And they were struck with amazement at his teaching: for his word was with power. And in the assembly was a man having the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice, read more.
Saying, Let alone; what to us and thee, Jesus Nazarene? hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy of God. And Jesus answered him, saying, Be then silent, and come Out of him. And the demon having thrown him into the midst, came out of him, not having injured him. And amazement was upon all, and they spake to one another, saying, What this word with authority and power he commands unclean spirits, and they come out. And a report went forth concerning him into every place of the country round about.


And again he departed beyond Jordan to the place where John was first immersing; and he remained there. And many came to him, and said, That truly John did no sign: but all which John said of him was true. And many believed in him there.

Then sent the sisters to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. And Jesus having heard, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God be honoured. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. read more.
When therefore he heard that he is sick, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days. Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, now the Jews sought to stone thee; and retirest thou there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day.? If any walk in the day, he stumbles not, for he sees the light of this world. But if any walk in the night, he stumbles, for light is not in him. These things said he: and after this he says to them, Lazarus our friend has been set to sleep; but I go, that I might waken him. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he has been set to sleep, he shall be saved. And Jesus spake of his death: but these supposed that he speaks of the repose of sleep. Then therefore Jesus said to them with freedom of speech, Lazarus is dead. And I rejoice for you, that ye might believe, that I was not there; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we might die with him.


Then came to Jesus from Jerusalem the scribes and Pharisees, saying, Wherefore do thy disciples pass by the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. And he, having answered, said to them, Wherefore do ye also pass by the command of God by your tradition read more.
For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, he calumniating father or mother, in death let him die. And ye say, Whoever should say to father or mother, A gift, whatever thou shouldest be profited by me; And should not honour his father or his mother. And ye have annulled the command of God by your tradition. Hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draw near me with their mouth, and honour me with their lips; but their heart keeps off far from me. But they worship me in vain, teaching doctrines the commands of men. And having called the crowd, he said to them, Hear ye, and understand. Not that coming into the mouth pollutes the man; but that going forth out of the mouth, this pollutes the man. Then his disciples having come near, said to him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were scandalized? And having answered, he said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them go: they are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. And Peter, having answered, said to him, Explain to us this parable. And Jesus said, Are ye also yet destitute of understanding? Do ye not yet understand, that everything going into the mouth proceeds to the belly, and is cast out in the privy? But the things going forth out of the mouth come from the heart, and these pollute the man. For from the heart come forth evil reflections, slaughters, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, defamations: These are the things polluting a man: but to eat with unwashed hands pollutes not a man.

And the Pharisees are gathered together to him, and certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, And having seen some of his disciples with common hands, that is, unwashed, eating loaves, they rebuked. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they vigorously wash hands, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. read more.
And from the market-place, except they be immersed, they eat not. And there are many other things which they received to hold; the immersion of cups, and of measures, and of brazen vases, and of chairs.) Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Wherefore do not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? And he having answered, said to them, That Esaias prophesied well concerning you, as it has been written, This people honour me with lips, and their heart keeps far from me. And in vain they revere me, teaching doctrines the commands of men. For having left the command of God, ye hold firmly to the tradition of men, the immersion of measures and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said to them, Well do ye abrogate the command of God, that ye might keep your tradition. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and he reviling father or mother, in death let him die: And ye say, If a man say to father or mother, Corban, which is, a gift, whatever thou be profited by me; And ye permit him to do nothing more for his father or his mother Abrogating the word of God by your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things ye do. And having called all the crowd, he said to them, Hear me, all ye, and do ye understand: There is nothing from without a man, entering into him, which can defile him: but things coming out from him, these are the things polluting the man. If any have ears to hear, let him hear. And when he came into the house from the crowd, his disciples asked him of the parable. And he says, So are ye also without understanding? Do ye not perceive, that anything from without entering into a man, cannot pollute him For it goes not into the heart, but into the belly, and goes forth into the privy, purging all food And he said, That going out of a man, that pollutes a man. For within, out of the heart of men, go forth evil reflections, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness: All these evils go out from within, and pollute a man.


And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. And he having answered, said to them, It being evening, ye say, Calm weather: for the heaven is fiery red. And in the morning, Today, wintry weather: for heaven, being sad, is fiery red. Hypocrites, truly ye know to decide the face of heaven, but the signs of the times ye cannot. read more.
An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign; and no sign shall be given her, except the sign of Jonas the prophet. And having left them, he departed.

And quickly having gone into the ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. And the Pharisees came out, and began to search out with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. And having sighed deeply in spirit, he says, Why seeks this generation for a sign Verily I say to you, shall a sign be given to this generation.



And as he drew near, having seen the city, he wept over it, Saying, That if thou knewest, also thou, and also in this thy day, the things for thy peace! and now have they been hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and keep thee together from all sides, read more.
And they shall level thee with the ground, and thy children in thee; they shall not leave in thee stone upon stone; because thou knewest not the time of thine inspection.


And Jesus having called his disciples, said, I feel compassion for the crowd, for already they remain with me three days, and they have nothing they could eat: and I will not leave them fasting, lest they be relaxed in the way. And his disciples say to him, Whence to us, in a lonely place, so many loaves, to satisfy such a crowd I And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. read more.
And he encouraged the crowd to recline upon the earth. And having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having returned thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd. And all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up that remaining of the fragments seven wicker baskets full. And they eating were four thousand men, besides women and children. And having loosed the crowds, he went into a ship, and came into the bounds of Magdala.

In those days the crowd being very many, and having nothing they might eat, Jesus having called his disciples, says to them, I feel compassion for the crowd, for already they remain three days with me, and have nothing they might eat: And if I loose them fasting to their house, they will be relaxed in the way: for some of them have come from far. read more.
And his disciples answered him, Whence might anyone be able to satisfy these with loaves here in the lonely place? And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. And he enjoined to the crowd to recline upon the earth: and having taken the seven loaves, having returned thanks, he brake, and he gave to his disciples that they might set before.; and they set before the crowd. And they had a few little fishes: and having praised, he spake to set them also before. And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the remains of the fragments, seven wicker-baskets. And they eating were about four thousand: and he loosed them.


And it was when Jesus finished these parables, he removed thence. And having come into his native land, he taught them in their assembly, so that they were struck with amazement, and said, Whence to him this wisdom, and powers? Is not this the son of the carpenter? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? read more.
And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then to him all these? And they were scandalized in him. And Jesus said to them, A prophet is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in his house. And he did not many powers there, because of their unbelief.

And he came out thence, and came to his native land; and his disciples follow him. And sabbath having come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing were struck with amazement, saying, Whence to this one these things? and what this wisdom given to him, that such powers are done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Jude, and Simon and are not his sisters here with us? And they were scandalized in him. read more.
And Jesus said to them, That a prophet Is not unhonoured, except in his native land, and in kinsmen, and in his house. And he could do no power there, except having laid his hands upon a few sick, he cured. And he wondered for their unbelief. And he went about the towns teaching.


The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob: and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; read more.
And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Rath; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her of Urias And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz; begat Ezekias; And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; And Josias begat Jeehonias and his brethren upon the transferring of Babylon And after the transferring of Babylon Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim beget Elind; And Elind begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, being called Christ, the anointed. Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations; and from David to the transferring of Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the transferring of Babylon to Christ, fourteen generations.

And when he completed all his words in the ears of the people, he came to Capernaum. And a certain centurion's servant being sick, was about to die; which was highly valued by him. And having heard of Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him, that having come, he would save his servant. read more.
And they approaching to Jesus, besought him earnestly, saying, That he is worthy to whom he will bestow this: For he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue. And Jesus went with them. And now he being away not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not fit that thou shouldest come under my roof; Therefore neither thought I myself worthy to come to thee: but speak in a word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, having soldiers under myself, and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes: and to my servant, Do this, and he does. And Jesus having heard these, wondered at him, and having turned to the crowd following him, he said, I say to you, Neither have I found so much faith in Israel. And those sent, having turned back to the house, found the servant being sick, restored to health.

And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, a captain of a hundred came to him, and beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant has been laid up in the house a paralytic, being grievously tormented. And Jesus says to him, I, having come, will cure him. read more.
And the captain of a hundred having answered said, Lord, I am not fit that thou shouldest enter in under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man under power, having soldiers under me: and I say to this, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does. And Jesus having heard, admired, and said to those following; Verily I say to you, not in Israel have I found such faith. And I say to you, That many shall come from the sunrising and the descents, and shall recline with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of the heavens. But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said to the captain of a hundred, Retire; as thou hast believed, let it be to thee. And his servant was healed in that hour.


And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus commanded them:

After these things Jesus again manifested himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias and so he made manifest. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and they of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.


And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they not seeing might see; and they seeing might be blind. And they being with him of the Pharisees heard these things, and said to him, We are not also blind? Jesus said to them If ye were blind, ye had not sinned: and now ye say, That we see; therefore your sin remains.

Truly, truly, I say to you, He not coming in through the door into the court-yard of the sheep, but coming up from another place, he is a thief and robber. And he coming in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the guard of the door opens; and the sheep hear his voice : and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. read more.
And when he would put forth his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger they would not follow, but they will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. This proverb spake Jesus to then: and they knew not what things they were which he spake th them. Then said Jesus again to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, That I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep heard them not. I am the door: if any come in through me, he shall be saved, and he shall me in, and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes not, except that he steal, and sacrifice, and destroy: I came that they might have life, and have above measure. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. But the hired one, and not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and he leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf plunders them, and scatters the sheep. The hired flees, because he is hired, and no care is to him for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine, and am known by mine. As the Father knows me, I also know the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have, other sheep, which are not of this court-yard: and I must also bring them, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one flock, and one shepherd. Therefore does my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command received I of my Father. Then was a division again among the Jews for these words. And many of them said, He has a demon, and is frenzied; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of a demon. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind.


Then was he seen by James; then by all the sent.

To them also he presented himself living, after he suffered, by many infallible signs, through forty days seen to them, and speaking the things of the kingdom of God: And, being collected together, he enjoined them not to be separated from Jerusalem, but to wait for the solemn promise of the Father, which ye heard of me. For John truly immersed in water; and ye shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit not after these many days. read more.
Truly they therefore having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, if in this time thou wilt restore the kingdom of Israel? And he said to them, It is not yours to know the times and occasions, which the Father fixed in his own power. But ye shall receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me also in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the last of the earth.


And that he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve:

Saying, That truly the Lord was risen, and was seen to Simon.


And he said to his disciples, A certain man was rich, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as dispersing his goods. And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear of thee give back the word of thy stewardship; for thou canst no more be steward. And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away the stewardship from me: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. read more.
I have resolved what I will do, that, when I should be removed from the stewardship, they might receive me in their houses. And having called upon each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord And he said, An hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thou thy book, and having quickly sat down, write fifty. Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy book, and write eighty. And the Lord praised the steward of injustice, because he did wisely: for the sons of this life are wiser than the children of light in their generation. And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of injustice; that, when ye fail, they might receive you into lasting tents. He faithful in the least, is also faithful in much: and he unjust in the least, is also unjust in much. If therefore ye were not faithful in the unjust mammon, who shall trust to you the true? And if ye were not faithful with another, who shall give you your own? No servant can serve two lords: for he will either hate one, and love the other; or he will hold firmly to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.



And now the festival being in the midst, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. And the Jews wondered, saying, How knows he letters, not having learned Jesus answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his having sent me. read more.
If any desire to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak from myself. He speaking from himself, seeks his own glory: but he seeking the glory of him having sent him, he is true, and no injustice is in him. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you does the law? Why seek ye to kill me? The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel for this. Moses has given you circumcision; (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man. If a man receive circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not loosed; rage not at me, because I made a man wholly well on the Sabbath. Judge not according to sight, but judge just judgment. Then said some of the Jerusalemites' Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? And, behold, he speaks in freedom of speech, and they say nothing to him. Not at any time knew the rulers truly, that this is truly Christ? But we know this whence he is: and Christ, when he should come, none knows whence he is. Then cried Jesus in the temple, teaching, and saying, And ye know me, and ye know whence I am: and I have not come of myself, but he having sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him; for I am from him, and he sent me. Then sought they to seize him: and none put the hand upon him, for his hour had not yet come. And many of the crowd believed on him, and said, That Christ, when he should come, will he do more signs than these which he did? The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things of him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent servants that they might seize him. Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little time am I with you, and I retire to him having sent me. And ye shall seek me and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Where is he about to go, that we shall not find him? is he not about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is the word which he spake, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find: and where I am, ye cannot come? In the last day, the great one of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any thirst, let him come to me, and drink. He believing in me, as said the writing, from his belly shall flow rivers of living waters. (This spake he of the Spirit which they believing in him were about to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet; for Jesus was not yet honoured.) Then many of the crowd, having heard the word, said, This is truly a prophet. Others said, This is Christ: and others said, Yet Christ comes not out of Galilee. Said not the writing, That of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was, Christ comes? Then was there a division in the crowd on his account. And some of them wished to seize him; but none put hands upon him. Then came the servants to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why did ye not bring him And the servants answered, Never spake man as this man. Then the Pharisees answered them, Have ye not also been deceived Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him? But the crowd, not knowing the law, are cursed. Nicodemus says to them, (he having come to him by night, being one of them,) Our law judges not a man, except it first hear from him, and know what he does. They answered and said to him, And art thou not of Galilee? Search, and see: for a prophet has not risen out of Galilee. And each man went to his house.


Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, read more.
Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not. And this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; And not for the nation alone, but that also the children of God, scattered, should be gathered into one. Then from that day they counselled together that they might kill him. Jesus then walked no more with freedom of speech among the Jews; but departed thence to the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.


And after eight days again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them: Jesus comes, the doors shut, and said, Peace to you. Then says he to Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and see my hands; and bring thy hand, and put into my side: and be not unbelieving, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. read more.
Jesus says to him, Because thou bast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: happy they not having seen, and having believed.


And there was the festival of inauguration among the Jerusalemites, and it was winter.. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech. read more.
Jesus answered them, I said to you, and ye believe not: the works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then again lifted up the Jews stones that they might stone him. Jesus Answered them, Many good works I shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do ye stone me The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said; Ye are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the writing cannot be loosed; Whom the Father consecrated., and sent into the world, say ye that thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. And if I do, though ye believe me not, believe the works: that ye might know, and believe, that the Father in me, and I in him. Then sought they again to take him: and he went out from their hand,


And he having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him: That the word of Esaias the prophet might be completed, which he spake, Lord, who believed our report? and to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed? Therefore they could not believe, for Esaias said again, read more.
He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart: lest they see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and should turn back, and I should heal them. These said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him. Yet nevertheless also many of the rulers believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge, lest they should be excluded from the synagogue: For they loved the honour of men more than the honour of God. Jesus cried and said, He believing in me, believes not in me, but in him having sent me. And he seeing me, sees him having sent me. I have come a light into the world, that every one believing in me should not remain in darkness. And if any hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world. He rejecting me, and not receiving my words, has him judging him: the word which I spake, that shall judge him in the last day. For I spake not of myself; but the Father having sent me, he gave me a command, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his command is life eternal: therefore what I speak, as the Father said to me, so I speak.


And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, into a mountain, where Jesus commanded them: And having seen him, they worshipped him; and some doubted. And Jesus, having come near, spake to them, saying, All power has been given me in heaven and upon earth: read more.
Therefore, having gone, disciple all nations; immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: Teaching them to keep all things whatever I have commanded you; and behold, I am with you all the days, even to the end of time. Amen.


And having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God comes, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God comes not with observation: Neither shall they say, Behold here or, behold there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. And he said to the disciples, The days come when ye shall eagerly desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see. read more.
And they shall say to you, Behold here, or; behold there: go not away, nor pursue. For as lightning, flashing out from that under heaven, shines to that under heaven; so also shall be the Son of man in his day. And first must he suffer many things, and be disapproved of by this generation. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be in the days of the Son of man. They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, till the day which Noe came into the ark, and the overflow came, and destroyed all. And likewise as it was in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; And the day which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and sulphur from heaven, and destroyed all. According to these shall be the day in which the Son of man is revealed. In that day, whoever shall be upon the house, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he in the fields, likewise let him not turn back behind. Remember Lot's wife. Whoever should seek to save his life shall lose it; and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it alive. I say to you, that night shall be two upon one bed; one shall be taken, and the other let go. Two females shall be grinding together; one shall be taken, and the other let go. [Verse is wanting (Missing) in most of the Greek copies.] And having answered, they say to him, Where, Lord And he said to them, Where the body, there shall the eagles be gathered together.


And when the Son of man should come in his glory, and all his holy messengers with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the kids: . And he shall set the sheep from his right, and the kids from his left. read more.
Then shall the king say to them from his right, Come, the praised of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink: I was a stranger, and ye brought me in: Naked, and ye put around me: I was sick, and ye reviewed me: I was in prison, and ye came to me. Then shall the just answer him saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungering, and nourished or thirsting, and gave to drink And when saw we thee a stranger, and brought in or naked, and put around And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came to thee? And the king having answered, will say to them, Trull I say to you, Inasmuch as ye did to one of the least of my brethren, ye did to me. Then shall he say to them from the left, Go away from me, the cursed, into eternal fire, prepared for the devil and his messengers: For I was hungry, and ye gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger and ye brought me not in; naked, and ye put not around me; sick, and in prison, and ye took not a view of me. Then shall they answer him, they also saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and attended not to thee? Then shall he answer them saying, Inasmuch as ye did not to one of the least of these, ye did not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: and the just into eternal life.


And great crowds went with him, and having turned he said to them If any come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and yet also his own life, he cannot be my disciple. And whoever lifts not his cross, and comes after me, cannot be my disciple. read more.
For which of you, wishing to build a tower, not first, having sat down, calculates the expense, if he have things for completion? That lest, having set the foundation, and not able to finish, all seeing begin to mock him, Saying, That this man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to fight with another king in war, not, having sat down first, consults, if he be able with ten thousand to meet him coming with twenty thousand against him? And if he, yet being far off, having sent an embassy, asks things for peace. So then, every one of you, who renounces not all of his possessions, cannot be my disciple. Salt good: but if salt be rendered insipid, with what shall it be fitted? Neither for the land, nor is it fitted for the dunghill; they cast it without. He having ears to hear, let him hear.


And it was in their going forth, and he came to a certain town : and a certain woman by the name of Martha received him in her house. And also a sister was to her, called Mary; and she having sat at Jesus' feet, heard his word. And Martha was perplexed about much service, and having stood before, said, Lord, carest thou not that my sister left me to serve alone ? speak therefore to her that she may lay hold and assist with me. read more.
And Jesus having answered, said to her, Martha,.Martha, thou bast care, and art confused about many things And of one thing there is need : and Mary has chosen the 'good part which shall not betaken away from her.


A certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, being daily splendidly gladdened: And there was a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, who was cast at his gate, having been wounded, And eagerly desirous to be fed from crumbs falling from the rich one's table: but also the dogs, coming, licked off his wounds. read more.
And it was, the beggar died, and was carried by messengers into Abraham's bosom: and the rich one died also, and was buried; And in hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham from far off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he having called out, said, Father Abraham, pity me, and send Lazarus, that he might dip his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: and now here is he comforted, and thou art tormented. And besides all these, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed: so that they wishing to pass through thence to you could not; neither could they cross over from thence to us. And he said, Then I ask thee, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: For I have five brethren; that he might testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if some one from the dead go to them, they will change the mind. And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither if any rise from the dead, will they be persueded.


And it was in his going to Jerusalem, and he came through the land of Samaria and Galilee. And he coming to a certain town, ten leprous men met him, who stood far off: And they lifted up the voice, saying, Jesus, faster, pity us. read more.
And having seen, he said to them, Having gone, show yourselves to the priests. And it was in their retiring they were cleansed. And one of them, having seen that he was healed, turned back, with a great voice honouring God. And he fell upon the face at his feet, thanking him: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus having answered said, Were not ten cleansed? and where the nine? They were not found returning to give glory to God, except this of another race. And he said to him, Having risen, go: thy faith has saved thee.


And in the speaking, a certain Pharisee asked him that he would dine with him: and having come in he reclined. And the Pharisee having seen, wondered that he was not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and trencher; and your inside is full of plunder and wickedness. read more.
O foolish, has not he having made the outside, also made the inside? But of the things being, give alms; and, behold, all things are clean to you. But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe spearmint and rue and every plant, and ye pass by the judgment and love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to have left those. Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as concealed tombs, and men walking above know not. And a certain of the skilled in the law having answered, said, Teacher, speaking these things, and thou injurest us. And he said, And woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye load men with loads difficult to carry, and ye yourselves touch not one of the fingers to the load. Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Surely ye testify and assent to your fathers' works: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their tombs. And for this said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and the sent, and of them shall they kill and drive out: That the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel even to the blood of Zacharias perishing between the altar and house: yea, I say to you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe to you, skilled in the law! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye came not in yourselves, and those coming in ye hindered. And he saying these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to hold on greatly, and to put questions to him of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to seize something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.


And the pascha of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and money-changers sitting; And having made a scourge of ropes, he cast all out of the temple, also sheep, and oxen; and poured out the small coin of money-changers, and overturned the tables; read more.
And he said to those selling doves, Take away these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it is written, The zeal of thine house has eaten me up. Then answered the Jews and said to him, What sign shewest thou, that thou doest these things? Jesus answered and said to them, Loose this temple, and in three days will I raise it up. Then said the Jews, In forty-six years was this temple built, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? But he spake concerning the temple of his body. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them; and they believed the writing, and the word which Jesus spake. And when he was in Jerusalem at the paseha, in the festival, many believed in his name, beholding his signs which he did. And Jesus himself trusted not himself to them, for he knew all, For also he had no need that any should testify concerning man: for he knew what was in man.


Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain royal one, whose son was sick in Capernanm. He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea to Galilee, went away to him, and asked him that he would go down and heal his son: for he was about to die. Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye would not believe. read more.
The royal one says to Him, Lord, go down before my child dies. Jesus says to him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and he went. And he already going down, his servants met him, and announced, saying, That thy child lives. Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was attended to. And they said to him, That yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him. Then the father knew that in that hour in which Jesus said to him, That thy son lives: and he believed, and his whole house. This second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.


And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, and the demons are subject to us in thy name. And he said to them, I saw Satan as lightning fallen from heaven.Translation PDF from Google If you can fill in this text please contact e-sword Uers Behold, I give you power to tread above serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt you. read more.
But in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject to you; but rather rejoice, that your names were written in the heavens. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I will acknowledge to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: yes Father, for so was it benevolence before thee. All things were delivered me by my Father: and none knows who is the Son, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and to whomsoever the Son would wish to reveal. And having turned to the disciples apart he said, Happy the eyes seeing what ye see: For I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to behold what ye see, and saw not; and to hear what ye hear, and heard not.


And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem that they might ask him, Who art thou? And he acknowledged, and denied not; and he acknowledged, That I am not the Christ. And they asked, What then? Art thou Elias? And he says, I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he answered, No. read more.
Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we might give answer to them having sent us. What sayest thou for thyself? He said, I the voice of him crying in the desert, Make ye straight the way of the Lord, as said Esaias the prophet. And they having been sent were of the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said to him, Why immersest thou then, if thou art not Christ, neither Elias, neither a prophet? John answered them saying, I immerse in water: but he stands the midst of you, whom ye know not; This is he coming after me, who was before me, of whom I am not worthy that I might loose the strings of his shoes. These things were in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was immersing. In the morrow John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, be taking away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he might be manifested to Israel, for this I came immersing in water. And John testified, saying, That I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it remained up on him. And I knew him not: but he having sent me to immerse in water, this said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shouldest see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon him, this is he immersing in the Holy Spirit. And I have seen, and testified that this is the Son of God.


And he was teaching in the day in the temple. And the chief priests and scribes and the first of the people sought to destroy him, And they found not what they might do: for all the people hearing hanged on him.


And a certain Lazarus was sick, from Bethany, of the town of Mary And Martha her sister. (And Mary was she having anointed the Lord with perfumed oil, and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) Then sent the sisters to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. read more.
And Jesus having heard, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God be honoured. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he is sick, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days. Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, now the Jews sought to stone thee; and retirest thou there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day.? If any walk in the day, he stumbles not, for he sees the light of this world. But if any walk in the night, he stumbles, for light is not in him. These things said he: and after this he says to them, Lazarus our friend has been set to sleep; but I go, that I might waken him. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he has been set to sleep, he shall be saved. And Jesus spake of his death: but these supposed that he speaks of the repose of sleep. Then therefore Jesus said to them with freedom of speech, Lazarus is dead. And I rejoice for you, that ye might believe, that I was not there; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we might die with him. Then Jesus, having come, found him having four days already in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia. And many of the Jews were come to them about Martha and Many, that they might console them for their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus comes, met him: and Mary sat in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But now I also know, that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall arise. Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise at the rising up in the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the rising up, and life: he believing in me, though he die, shall live. And all living and believing in me should never die. Believest thou this? She says to him, Yes, Lord: I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of God, he coming into the world. And having said these, she departed and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, The Teacher is come, and calls thee. She, when she heard, arises quickly, and comes to him. And Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews being in the house with her, and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose quickly and went forth, followed her, saying, That she retires to the tomb, that she might weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou wert here, my brother had not died. Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping having come with her, was heavy in spirit, and troubled himself, And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, See how he loved him I And certain of them said, Could not he having opened the eyes of the blind, have made that this should not die? Then Jesus again being heavy in himself, comes to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it. Jesus says, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to him, Lord, he already smells: for it is the fourth day. Jesus says to her, Said I not to thee, if thou shouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God Then took they away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above, and said, Father, I return thee thanks that thou didst hear me. And I knew that thou always hearest me: but for the crowd standing round I said, that they might believe that thou didst send me. And having said these, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. And the dead came out, bound feet and hands with bandages; and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him retire. Then many of the Jews, having come to Mary, and seeing what Jesus did, believed in him. But certain of them departed to the Pharisees, and said to them what Jesus did.


And they having come to Capernaum, they taking double drachmas came to Peter and said, Does not your teacher pay double drachmas? He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What seems to thee, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take taxes or census? from their sons, or from strangers? Peter says to him, From strangers. Jesus said to him, Then are the children free. read more.
But that we should not scandalize them, having gone to the sea, cast a fish hook, and lift up the fish coming up first, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a gold coin: having taken that, give to them for me and thee.


And they hearing these things, having added, he spake a parable, for he was near to Jerusalem, and they thought that immediately the kingdom of God is about to be rendered visible. Then he said, A certain honourable man went into a country far off to take unto himself a kingdom, and to return. And having called his ten servants, he gave them ten coins, and said to them, Attend to business, till I come. read more.
And his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We wish not this to reign over us. And it was in his coming back, having received the kingdom, and he spake to have these servants called to him, to whom he gave the silver, that he might know who had attended to any business. And the first approached, saying, Lord, thy coin has gained ten coins. And he said to him, Well, good servant: because thou west faithful in the least, be thou having power over ten cities. And the second came saying, Lord, thy coin made five coins. And he said to him, And be thou over five cities. And another came saying, Lord, behold, thy coin which I have placed in a napkin: For I feared thee, for thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and thou reapest what thou didst not sow. And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not: And wherefore gavest thou not my silver to the bankers, and I having come had received it with interest? And to those standing by he said, Take away from him the coin, and give to him having the ten coins. (And they said to him, Lord, he has ten coins.) For I say to you, That to every one having shall be given; and from him not having, and what he has shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, not haying wished me to reign over them, bring hither, and slaughter before me. And having said these, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.


Then began he to blame the cities in which were his greatest powers, because they repented not. Woe to thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon had been the powers being in you, long since had they repented in sackcloth and ashes. But I say to you, To Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you. read more.
And thou, Capernaum, lifted up even to heaven, thou shalt he brought down to hades: for if in the people of Sodom had been the powers being in thee, they had remained till this day. But I say to you, That to the land of Sodom it shall be more supportable in the day of judgment, than to you. In that time Jesus having answered, said, I acknowledge to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for thou hast hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to children. Yes, Father: for so was it benevolence before thee. All things were delivered to me by my Father; and none knows the Son, except the Father; nor knows any one the Father, except the Son, and to whom the Son will reveal Come to me, all ye wearied and loaded, and I will cause you to rest. Lift up my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and humble in heart; and ye shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is useful, and my load is light.


And before the feast of the pascha, Jesus knowing that his hour had come that he should pass out of this world to the Father, having loved his own in the world, he loved them to the end. And supper having been, the devil having already cast into the heart of Judas Iscariot, of Simon, that he should deliver him up; Jesus knowing that the Father has given all things to him into the hands, and that he came out from God, and retired to God; read more.
He arises from supper, and lays down the garments; and having taken a linen cloth, he girded himself. Then casts he water into a washing vessel, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe with the linen cloth with which he was girded. And he comes to Simon Peter: and he says to him, Lord, washest thou my feet? Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know after these. Peter says to him, Thou shouldest never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, Except I wash thee, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter says to him, Lord, not my feet only, but the hands and head. Jesus says to him, He washed has no need but to have the feet washed, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew him delivering him up, therefore he said, Ye are not all clean. When therefore he washed their feet; and took his garments, going to recline again, he said to them, Knew ye what I have done to you? Ye call one Teacher and Lord: and ye say well; for I am. If therefore, I washed your feet, the Lord and Teacher; ye also ought to wash the feet of one another: For I have given you a pattern, as I have done to you, also should ye do. Truly, truly I say to you The servant is not greater than his Lord; neither the sent greater than he having sent him. If ye know these, happy are ye if ye do them.


From this many of his disciples went away back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus to the twelve, And ye will not go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go away? thou hast the words of eternal life. read more.
And we have believed, and known, that thou art Christ, Son of the living God. Jesus answered them, Have I not chosen you twelve, and of you one is a devil? And he spake of Judas Iscariot, of Simon: for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.


The morrow, the crowd standing beyond the sea having seen that no other small vessel was there, except that one into which his disciples had entered, and that Jesus entered not with his disciples into the small vessel, but his disciples departed alone; (But also other small vessels came out of Tiberias near to the place where they ate bread, the Lord having returned thanks:) When the crowd therefore saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they also entered into ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. read more.
And having found them beyond the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when camest thou here? Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but for that ye ate of the loaves, and were satisfied. Work not for food perishing, but food remaining to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you: for him God the Father sealed. Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye should believe in him whom he has sent. Then said they to him, What sign doest thou, that we might see, and believe thee? what workest thou? Our fathers ate manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then said Jesus to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses has not given you bread from heaven; but my Father gives you true bread from heaven. for the bread of God is he coming down from heaven, and giving life to the world. Then said they to him, Lord, always give us this bread. And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he coming to me should not hunger; and he believing in me should not thirst. But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he coming to me I will not cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not that I might do my will, but the will of him having sent me. And this is the will of the Father having sent me, that all which he has given me, I should not loose of it, but raise it up in the last day. And this is the will of him having sent me, that every one seeing the Son, and believing in him, should have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Then murmured the Jews about him, because he said, I am the bread having come down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Jesus, Joseph's son, whose father and mother we know? how then says he, That I have come down from heaven? Then answered Jesus and said to them, Murmur not with one another. None can come to me, except the Father having sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every one therefore having heard and learned of the Father, comes to me. Not that any one has seen the Father, except he being from God, he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, he believing in me has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and died. This is the bread which coming down from heaven, that whoever should eat of it, and he should not die. I am the living bread which having come down from heaven: if any one eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and also the bread which I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world. Then the Jews contended with one another, saying, How can he give us the flesh to eat Then said Jesus to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves. He chewing my flesh, and drinking my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink. He chewing my flesh, and drinking my blood, remains in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live through the Father: also he chewing me, the same also shall live through me. This is the bread which having come down from heaven: not as your fathers ate manna, and died: he chewing this bread shall live forever. He said these, teaching in the synagogue, in Capernaum. Then many of his disciples, having heard, said, This is a hard word; who can hear it And Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmur for this, said to them, Does this offend you? If then ye see the Son of man going up where he was before It is the spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing: the words which I speak to you are spirit, and are life. But there are some of you who believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they are not believing, and who he is going to deliver him up. And he said, Therefore have I said to you, that no one can come to me, except it be given him of my Father.


Again on the morrow John stood, and two of his disciples; And having looked upon Jesus walking, he says, Behold the Lamb of God And two disciples heard him speaking, and followed Jesus. read more.
And Jesus having turned, and seen them following, says to them, What seek ye? They said to him, Rabbi, (It says, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou He says to them, Come and see. They came and saw where he remains, and they remained with him that day: and it was about the tenth hour. It was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, one of the two having heard of John, and followed him. He first finds his own brother Simon, and says to him, We have found Messias, which is, being interpreted, Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus having looked upon him, said, Thou art Simon son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is, interpreted, Peter. The morrow Jesus wished to go forth to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and he says to him, Follow me. And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter. And Philip finds Nathanael, and says to him, Of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus, son of Joseph, him from Nazareth. And Nathanael said to him, Can any good be from Nazareth? Philip says to him, Come and see. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and he says of him, Behold truly an Israelite, in whom is no deceit! Nathanael says to him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, being under the fig tree, I saw thee. Nathanael answers and says to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou thou shalt see greater than these. And he says to him, Amen, amen, I say to you, From henceforth shall ye see heaven opened, and the messengers of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.


And, behold, a certain skilled in the law stood up, tempting him, and saying, Teacher, what having done shall I inherit eternal life And he said to him, What has been written in the law? how readest thou ? And he having answered, said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God from thy whole heart, and from thy whole soul, and from thy whole strength; and thy neighbor as thyself. read more.
And he said to him, Thou hast answered rightly; this do and thou shalt live.Translation PDF from Google If you can fill in this text please contact e-sword Uers And he, wishing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor And Jesus having replied said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers : and having stripped him, and laid on blows, they departed, leaving him half dead. And by accident a certain priest went down in that way : and having seen him, went on the opposite side. And likewise also a Levite, having been in the place, having come and seen him, went on the opposite side. And a certain Samaritan, travelling, came to him : and having seen him, felt compassion. And having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and having mounted him upon his own animal, he brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And upon the morrow, he having come forth, taking out two drachmas, he gave to the inn-keeper, and said to him, Take care, of him; and whatever thou spendest besides, I, in my coming back, will repay thee. Which then of these three seems to thee to have been neighbor to him fallen among rubbers.? And he said, He having done mercy with him. Then said Jesus to him, Go thou, and do likewise.


But what seems to you A man had two children; and having come to the first, he said, Child, retire to-day, work in my vineyard. And he, having answered, said, I will not; but afterward, having felt regret, he departed. And having come to the second, he said likewise. And he, having answered, said, I, Lord: and he departed not. read more.
Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that publicans and harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.


And he spake to them a parable, that they must always pray, and not lose courage; Saying, There was a certain judge in a certain city, fearing not God, and not occupied about man: And a widow was in that city; and she came to him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. read more.
And he would not for a time: and after these he said in himself, And if I fear not God, and am not occupied about man; Yet because this widow produces fatigue to me, I will avenge her, lest in the end, coming, she give me a blow under the eyes. And the Lord said, Hear ye what the judge of injustice says. And shall not God do the avenging of his chosen, crying to him day and night, being slow to anger toward them? I say to you, that he will do their avenging swiftly. But the Son of man having come, shall he find faith upon earth And he spake to certain trusting upon themselves that they were just, and setting at nought the rest, this parable: Two men went up to the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee having stood, prayed these to himself, O God, I return thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or also as this publican. I fast twice of the Sabbath; I pay tithes of all I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not either lift up the eyes to heaven, but struck upon his breast, saying, God propitiate for me the sinful. I say to you, this one went down to his house justified rather than that one: for every one lifting up himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be lifted up.


And Jesus passing from thence, two blind ones followed him, crying out and saying, Commiserate us, O son of David. And having come into the house, the blind came to him: and Jesus says to them, Believe ye that I can do this? They say to him, Yes, Lord. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it to you. read more.
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus threatened them, saying, See, let none know. But they, having gone out, divulged it in that, whole land. And they having gone, behold they brought to him a man dumb, possessed with an evil spirit. And the demon being cast out, the dumb, spake, and the crowd admired, saying, It was never so brought to light in Israel. But the Pharisees said, By the chief of demons he casts out demons.


And he said to the disciples, It is impossible there come not causes of offence: and woe, through whom they come! It is profitable to him if the millstone of an ass were placed about his neck, and he cast into the sea, rather than he should offend one of these little ones. Attend to yourselves: and if thy brother sin against thee, censure him; and if he should repent, let him go. read more.
And if seven times in a day he sin against thee, and seven times in a day turn back to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt let him go. And the sent said to the Lord, Add faith to us. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a kernel of mustard, said ye to this mulberry-tree, Be thou rooted up, and planted in the sea; and it had listened to you. And which of you having a servant ploughing or feeding, who will say to him having come out of the field, Quickly having come, recline? But will he not say to him, Prepare what I shall sup, and, being girded, serve me, till I eat and drink; and after these, thou mayest eat and drink? He has no favor to that servant, for he did the things appointed. I think not. So also ye, when ye do all appointed you, say, That we are useless servants: for what we ought to do, we have done.


And his parents went every year to Jerusalem to the festival of the passover. And when he was of twelve years, they having gone up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the festival : And having completed the days, in their returning the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not. read more.
And they, having supposed him to be in the caravan, came the way of a day, and sought him among Kingmen and among acquaintances. And not having found him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it was after three days they found him in the temple, sitting, in the midst of teachers, and bearing them, and inquiring of them. And all hearing him were affected in mind at his understanding and answers. And having seen him, they were struck with awe : and his mother said to hint, Child, why didst thou so to us ? behold, thy father and I, grieving,have sought thee. And he said to them, For what have ye sought me ? knew ye not that among the things of my Father I must be ? And they understood not the word which he spake to them. And he went dawn with them, and came to Nazareth, and was placed under them : and his mother kept all these words in her heart. And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age, and in grace with God and man.


Then shall the kingdom of the heavens be likened to ten virgins, who having taken their lanterns, went forth to the meeting of the bridegroom. And five of them were discerning, and five foolish. Those foolish having taken their lanterns, took no oil with them. read more.
And the discerning took oil in their vessels with their lanterns. And the bridegroom delaying, they all slumbered and slept. And in the middle of the night there was a cry, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go ye forth to his meeting. Then all these virgins were aroused, and put their lanterns in order. And the foolish said to the discerning, Give us of your oil; for our lights are quenched. And the discerning answered, saying, Lest it should not suffice us and you: but go ye rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves. And they, going to buy, the bridegroom came; and they prepared, went in with him to the nuptials; and the door was locked. And afterwards came also the rest of the virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he having answered said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. Watch, therefore, for ye know not the day, neither the hour, in which the Son of man comes. For as a man going abroad, called his own servants, and delivered them his possessions: And to one he truly gave five talents, and to one, two, and to one, one; to each according to his own power; and he quickly went abroad. And he having received five talents, having gone, worked with them, and he made other five talents. Likewise he having the two also, gained he also other two. And he having received one, having departed, dug in the earth, and concealed his lord's silver. And after much time the lord of these servants comes, and lifts up the word with them. And he having received the five talents, having come near, brought the other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst me five talents: and I have gained other five talents. And his lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant: thou west faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received the two talents, having come near said, Lord, thou deliveredst me two talents; see, I gained two other talents to them. His lord said to him, Well, good and faithful servant; thou wast faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many; enter into the joy of thy lord. And he also having received one talent, having come near, said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art a hard man, reaping where thou sowedst not, and gathering where thou scatteredst not: And having been afraid, having gone away, I concealed thy talent in the earth; see, thou hast thine own. And his lord having answered, said to him, O evil and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I scattered not: Thou therefore oughtest to have cast my silver to the money changers, and I having come, had received mine own, with interest Therefore take the talent away from him, and give him having ten talents. For to every one having shall be given, and he shall be in abundance: and from him not having, also what he has shall be taken away from him. And cast ye the useless servant into darkness without; weeping shall be there, and gnashing of teeth.


And the generation of Jesus Christ was thus: for Mary his mother having been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child by the Holy Ghost. And Joseph her husband being just, and not willing to expose her to disgrace, wished to let her go in secret. And reflecting upon these things, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared to him saying, Joseph, thou son of David, thou shouldest not fear to take to thyself Mary thy wife: for that begotten in her is of the Holy Spirit. read more.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from their sins, And the whole of this has been that it might be completed having been spoken by the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is, being interpreted, God with us. And Joseph having awaked from sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord commanded him: And he took to himself his wife, and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son: and be called his name Jesus.


For the kingdom of the heavens is like to a man, master of a house, who went out as soon as morning to hire workmen for his vineyard. And having agreed for a drachma a day, he sent them to his vineyard. And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing idle in the market-place, read more.
And he says to them, Retire ye also into the vineyard, and whatever should be just I will give you: and they departed. Again, having gone out about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise. And about the eleventh hour, having gone out, he found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why stand ye here idle the whole day? They say to him, That none has hired us. He says to them, Retire also to the vineyard; and whatever be just, ye shall receive. And it being evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his steward, Call the workmen, and give back to them the wages, beginning from the last even to the first. And they of the eleventh hour having come, thereupon received a drachma. And the first, having come, thought that they will receive more; and they also received thereupon a drachma. And having received, they murmured against the master of the house, Saying, That these last worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, having borne the burden and heat of the day. And he, having answered, said to one of them, Friend, I injure thee not; didst not thou agree with me for a drachma? Take thine and retire: and I will to give to this last, as also to thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my things? Or is thine eye evil because I am good So shall the last be first, and the first last; for many are called, but few chosen.


And it was in his coining into the house of a certain of the Pharisees in the sabbath to eat bread, and they were observing him narrowly. And, behold, a certain dropsical man was before him. And Jesus having answered, said to those skilled in the law and the Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to cure in the sabbath? read more.
And they were silent. And having taken, he healed, and loosed him. And having answered, he said to them, Whose ass or ox of yours shall fall into a well, and will he not quickly pull it out on the sabbath day? And they were not able to answer him in turn to these things. And he spake a parable to the called, fixing his attention how they chose out the first places at table; saying to them, When thou art called to the nuptials, thou shouldest not recline in the first place at table; lest a more honourable than thou be called by him: And he having called thee and him, having come, shall say to thee, Give place to this; and then thou shalt begin with shame to take possession of the last place. But when thou art called, having gone, recline in the last place; that when he having called thee come, might say to thee, Friend, mount up higher; then shall honour be to thee beore them reclining with thee. For whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and he humbling himself shall be exalted. And he also said to him having called him, When thou makest a breakfast or supper, call not thy friends, nor thy rich neighbors, nor thy brethren; lest they call thee in return, and a giving back be to thee. But when thou makest an entertainment, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: And happy shalt thou be; for they have not to give back to thee: for it shall be given back to thee at the rising up of the just. And a certain of them having reclined together, having heard these things, said to him, Happy he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper and called many; And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to the called, Come; for all things are already prepared. And from one they all began to conciliate. The first said to him, I bought a field, and have necessity to go and see it: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I ask thee, have me pardoned. And another said, I have married wife, and therefore I cannot come. And approaching, that servant announced to his lord these things. Then the master of the house, angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the streets and quarters of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as thou hest commanded, and yet there is place. And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the ways and hedges, and compel to come in, that my house may be filled up. For I say to you, That none of those men called shall taste of my supper.


And after these the Lord showed forth other seventy, and sent them together two and two before his face into every city and place, where he was about to come. Then said he to them, Truly the harvest much, and the laborers few: implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Retire: behold, I send you as lambs in the midst of wolves. read more.
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor shoes: and greet none by the way. And in whatever house ye enter, first say, Peace to this house. And if truly the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: and if not so, it shall turn back to you. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things of them: for the laborer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat the things set before you. And cure the sick in it, and say to them, The kingdom of God has drawn near to you. And in whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not, having gone into its spacious ways, say, And the dust having cleaved to us from your city, we wipe off to you but know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn nigh to you. And I say to you, that it shall be more supportable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. Woe to thee Chorazin! woe to thee Bethsaida! for if in Tyre and Sidon were the powers having been in you, long since had they changed the mind, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But for Tyre and Sidon shall it be more supportable in judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaurn, indeed even lifted up to heaven, shalt be cast down to hades. He hearing you hears me and he rejecting you rejects me; and he rejecting me rejects him having sent me.


And it was in continuation he went to a city called Nain; and sufficient of his disciples went with him, and a great crowd. And as he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, he dead was carried out, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a sufficient crowd of the city was with her. And having seen her, the Lord felt compassion for her and said to her, Weep not. read more.
And having come, he touched the coffin, and they bearing stood. And he said, Young man, I say to thee, arise. And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother. And fear took all; and they praised God, saying, That a great prophet has risen up among us; and That God has reviewed his people. And this word went out about him in all Judea, and in all the country round about.


I was in the Spirit In the day pertaining to the Lord, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. And I turned back to see the voice which spake with me. And having turned back, I saw seven gold chandeliers; read more.
And in the midst of the seven chandeliers one like to the Son of man, dressed in a garment descending to the feet, and girded at the breast with a golden girdle. And his head and hairs white as white wool, as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire; And his feet as brass of Lebanon, as refined by fire in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters. And having in his right hand seven stars: and going out of his mouth a sharp two-mouthed sword: and his sight as the sun shines in his power. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he put his right hand upon me, saying to me, Be not afraid;I am the the first and the last: And he living, and I was dead; and, behold, I am living for the times of times, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death.


And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria. Then comes he to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place which Jacob gave to Joseph his son. And Jacob's spring was there. Then Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat thus by the spring: it was about the sixth hour. read more.
A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone into the city that they might buy food.) Then says the Samaritan woman to him, How thou, being a Jew, askest of me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? for the Jews have no intercourse with the Samaritans. And Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who he is saying to thee, Give me to drink: thou hadst asked him, and he had given thee living water. The woman says to him, Lord, thou hest no vessel for drawing, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou the living water? Thou art not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and he himself drank of it, and his sons, and his young animals. Jesus answered and said to her, All drinking of this water shall thirst again: But whoever should drink of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing up to eternal life. The woman says to him, Lord, give me this water, that I thirst not, nor come here to draw. Jesus says to her, Retire, call thy husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou sayest well, That I have no husband: For thou hadst five husbands; and now he whom thou hast is not thy husband: this thou saidst true. The woman says to him, Lord, I see that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mount; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where they must worship. Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour comes, when neither in this mount, neither in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him. God a Spirit: and they worshipping him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, called Christ: when he should come, he will announce all things to us. Jesus says to her, I am he speaking to thee. And upon this his disciples came, and they wondered that he spake with the woman: yet none said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? The woman then left her water buckets and departed to the city, and says to the men, Come, see a man, who told me all which I ever did: is not this Christ? Then went they forth out of the city, and came to him. And in the mean time the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat. And he said to them, I have food to eat which ye know not. Then said the disciples to one another, Has any one brought him to eat? Jesus says to them, My food is that I might do the will of him having sent me, and finish his work. Say ye not, That there is yet the fourth month, and harvest comes? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the countries; for they are already white for harvest. And he reaping receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life: that he sowing might rejoice together and he reaping. For in this the word is true, That one is sowing, and another reaping. I sent you to reap that with which ye have not been wearied: some have been wearied, and others have come into their labor. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him for the woman's word testifying, That he told me all which I ever did. When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to remain with them: and he remained there two days. And many more believed on account of his word; And they said to the woman, That we no more believe for thy speaking: for we ourselves have heard and know, that this is truly Christ, the Saviour of the world.


And Pilate having heard of Galilee, asked if the man is a Galilean. And having known that he is from Herod's authority, he sent him to Herod, he being in Jerusalem in those days. And Herod having seen Jesus, rejoiced greatly: for he was wishing a long while since to see him, for hearing many things of him: and he hoped to see some sign done by him. read more.
And he asked him in fitting words: and he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood zealously accusing him. And Herod having set him at nought with his troops, and having mocked, putting about him shining clothing, sent him out to Pilate. And also Pilate and Herod were friends in that day with one another: for they were before being in enmity with each other.


Then Jesus, six days before the pascha, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus the dead, whom he raised from the dead. Then made they him a supper there, and Martha served; and Lazarus was one of them reclining at table with him. Then Mary having taken a pound of perfumed oil of spikenard, very precious, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hairs: and the house was filled with the smell of the perfumed oil. read more.
Then says one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, of Simon, being about to deliver him up, Wherefore was not this perfumed oil sold for three hundred drachmas, and given to the poor? And this he said, not that care was to him for the poor: but because he was a thief, and had the small coffer, and carried things deposited. Then said Jesus, Let her go; for the day of my interment has she kept this. For the poor have ye always with you;and me ye have not always. Then a great crowd of Jews knew that he is there: and they came not for Jesus alone, but that also they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.


And when eight days were completed for circumcising the child and his name was called JESUS, called by the messenger before he was conceived in the womb. And when the days of her cleansing were completed, according to the law of Moses, they brought him to Jerusalem to present to the Lord; (As has been written in the law of the Lord, That every male openingthe womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) read more.
And to give a sacrifice according to that said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtle-doves, or two of the young of pigeons. And, behold, a man was in Jerusalem, the name to him Simeon; and this man just and cautious, waiting the consolation of Israel : and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it was intimated to him by the Holy Spirit, not to see death, before he should see the Christ of the Lord. And he came in the Spirit to the temple : and in the parents bringing in the child Jesus, for them to do according to the custom of the law for him, And be took him into his arms, and praised God, and said : Now Lord, thou wilt loose thy servant, according to thy word, in peace : For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou bast prepared before the face of all peoples: A light for the revelation of the nations, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things spoken of him. And Simeon praised them, and said to Mary his mother, Behold, he is laid for the fall and rising up of many in Israel; and for a sign spoken against; (And also a spear shall pass through the soul of thyself,) so that the reasonings from many hearts might be revealed. And Anna was a prophetess, daughter of flannel, of the tribe of Aser : she advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; And she a widow of about eighty-four years, who departed not from the temple, with fastings and supplications serving night and day. And she having stood at that hour, confessed to the Lord, and spake concerning him to all awaiting redemption in Jerusalem.


And a certain one of the Pharisees asked him that he would eat with him. And having come into the Pharisee's house, he reclined. And, behold, a woman in the city, who was sinful, knowing that he is reclining at table in the Pharisee's house, having brought an alabaster box of perfumed oil, And stood at his feet behind, weeping, been to wet his feet with tears, and wiped with the hairs of her head; and she kissed his feet, and anointed with the perfumed oil. read more.
And the Pharisee having called him, seeing, said within himself, This, if he were a prophet, had known who and what race of woman which had touched him: for she is sinful. And Jesus having answered, said to him, Simon, I have something to say to thee. And he says, Teacher, speak. Two debtors were to a certain money-lender: one owed five hundred drachmas, and the other fifty. And they not having to pay, he bestowed as a gift upon both. Which of them therefore will love him the more? Say thou. And Simon, having answered, said, I suppose, that to whom he bestowed more favor. And he said to him, Thou hast judged rightly, And having turned to the woman, he said to Simon, Thou seest this woman? I came into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: and she wet my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: and she from when I came in left not kissing my feet. Thou anointedst not my head with oil: and she anointed my feet with perfumed oil. For which I say to thee, Her many sins are remitted; for she loved much: and he to whom little is remitted, loves little. And he said to her, Thy sins are remitted. And they reclining together began to say in themselves, Who is this who also remits sins? And he said to the woman, Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.


And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus the name to him, a ruler of the Jews: He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know that thou hast come a teacher from God: for none can do these signs which thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said to him, Amen, amen, I say to thee, Except any one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. read more.
Nicodemus says to him, How can a man be born, being an old man? he cannot come in a second time to his mother's belly, and be born. Jesus says to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, Except any one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God. That born of flesh is flesh; and that born of the Spirit is spirit. Thou shouldest not wonder that I said to thee, Ye must be born from above. The wind, where it wills, blows, and its voice thou hearest, but thou knowest not whence it comes, and where it goes: so is every one having been born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said to him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said to him, Art thou a teacher of Israel, and knowest not these? Truly, truly, I say to thee, that what we know, we speak, and what we have seen we testify; and ye receive not our testimony. If I spake to you earthly things, and ye believe not, how, if I speak to you heavenly things, will ye believe And none has ascended to heaven, except he having descended from heaven, the Son of man, he being in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of man be lifted up; That every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. For God sent not his Son into the world that he judge the world; but that the world might be saved through him. He believing in him is not judged: and he not believing has been already judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God. And this is the judgment, that light has come into the world, and men rather loved darkness than light, for their works were evil. For every one doing bad things hates the light, and he comes not to the light, lest his works should be rebuked. But he doing the truth comes to the light, that his works might be manifested, that they are wrought in God.


And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their assemblies, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every weakness in the people. And having seen the crowds, he felt compassion for them, for they were relaxed and dispersed, as sheep not having a shepherd. Then he says to his disciples, Truly the harvest much, but the laborers few. read more.
Implore therefore the Lord of the harvest, so that he might draw forth laborers into his harvest.


And Mary having risen in those days, went into the mountainous country with haste, into a city of Judah; And she entered into the house of Zacharias, and greeted Elizabeth. And it was when Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: read more.
And she called out with a great voice, and said, Praised thou among women, and praised the fruit of thy womb. And whence this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, behold, when the voice of thy greeting was in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And happy she having believed: for a completion of the things spoken shall be to her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord. And my Spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he looked upon the humiliation of his servant; for, behold, from now shall all generations deem me happy For the powerful one has done great things for me; and his name holy. And his mercy to generations of generations to those fearing him. He has done strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart. he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he sent away empty. He succored Israel his servant, remembering mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abram, and his seed forever. And Mary remained with her about three months, and returned to her house.


And they, having gone back, lo, the messenger of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother and flee into Egypt, and be there till I speak to thee; for Herod is about to seek the young child to destroy him. And having risen, be took to himself the young child and his mother by night, and turned back in Egypt: And was there till the death of Herod: that it might be completed having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. read more.
Then Herod, seeing he was deluded by the magi, was very angry, and having sent, destroyed all the children which in Bethlehem, and in all its bounds, from two years and under, according to the time he examined thoroughly of the magi. Then was completed that spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, A voice was heard in Rama, wailing, and weeping, and much lamentation; Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, for they are not. And Herod having died, behold a messenger of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, Having risen, take to thyself the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel; for they seeking the soul of the young child have died. And having risen, he took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. And having heard that Archelaus reigned over Judea, instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go there; and having received intimation of the divine will in a dream, he turned back into the parts of Galilee. And having come, he dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be completed spoken by the prophets, That he shall be called a Nazarite.


And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring to him one blind, and beseech him that he would touch him. And having taken the hand of the blind, he led him forth without the town; and having spit into his eyes, having put hands upon him, he asked him if he saw any thing. And having looked up, he said, I see men that I see as trees, walking. read more.
Then again he put hands upon his eyes, and made him look up; and he was restored, and he saw all clearly. And he sent him to his house, saying, Thou shouldest not either enter into the town, neither, say to any in the town.


In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word. This was in the beginning with God All things were by him; and without him out him was not one thing that was. read more.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And light shines in darkness; and darkness comprehended it not. A man was sent from God, the name to him John. This came for testimony, that he might testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through him. He was not that Light, but that he might testify for the Light. The Light was true, which enlightens every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was by him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own things, and his own received him not. And as many as received him, he gave them authority to be the children of God, to them believing on his name: They were not born of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was flesh, and dwelt with us, (and we beheld his glory, as the glory of the only born of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John testifies for him, and he tried, saying, This was he of whom I said, He coming after me was before me: for he was before me. And of his completion we all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses; grace and truth were by Jesus Christ. None has seen God at any time; the only born Son, he being in the bosom of the Father, he has declared.


And Mary said, My soul magnifies the Lord. And my Spirit rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he looked upon the humiliation of his servant; for, behold, from now shall all generations deem me happy read more.
For the powerful one has done great things for me; and his name holy. And his mercy to generations of generations to those fearing him. He has done strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thought of their heart. he has pulled down the powerful from thrones, and lifted up the He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he sent away empty. He succored Israel his servant, remembering mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abram, and his seed forever.


And the third day was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And Jesus was also called, and his disciples, to the wedding. And wine having failed, the mother of Jesus says to him, They have no wine. read more.
And Jesus says to her, What to me and thee, woman mine hour comes not yet. His mother says to the servants, Whatever he says to you, do. And six stone water-buckets were placed there, according to the purification of the Jews, containing each two or three measures. Jesus says to them, Fill the water-buckets with water. And they filled them even up over. And he says to them, Draw now, and carry to the superintendent of the feast. And they carried. And when the superintendent of the feast tasted the wine having been water, and knew not whence it is: (and the servants knew, having drawn the water;) the superintendent calls the bridegroom, And says to him, Every man sets good wine first; and when they be intoxicated, then inferior: thou hast kept the good wine till now. This beginning of signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him. After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.


And in the sixth month the messenger Gabriel was sent by God into a city of Galilee, to which the name Nazareth, To a virgin betrothed to a man to whom the name of Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name Mary. And the messenger, having come in to her said, Hail, thou made acceptable; the Lord with thee: praised thou among women. read more.
And having seen him, she was troubled at his words, and turned in her thoughts of what country this greeting might be. And the messenger said to her, Fear not, Mary: thou hast found grace with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bear a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and he shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David his father: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. And Mary said to the messenger, How shall this be, since I. know not man? And the messenger having answered, said to her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: wherefore also the holy thing born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, Elizabeth thy kinsman, she also having conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month to her, called barren. For nothing shall be impossible with God.

And having run before, he went up upon an Egyptian fig tree, that he might see him: for he was about to pass through that. And when he came to the place, having looked up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, having hastened, come down; for to day must I remain in thine house. And having hasted, he came down, and received him rejoicing. And all they having seen, murmured, saying, That he entered in to rest with a sinful man. And Zaccheus having stood, said to the Lord, Behold, the half of my possessions, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I have made any false accusation against any one, I give back fourfold.

And remit to us our sins; for we onrselves also remit to every one indebted to us. 'And bring us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil.

And he within, having.answered, should say, Offer not weariness to me already has the door been shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot having risen, give thee. I say to you, If also having risen he will not give him because of being his friend, yet for his effrontery, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs. And I say ' to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one asking, receives; and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking, it shall be opened. . And shall a son ask bread of any of you a father, will he give him a stone ? and if a fish, for a fish he will not give him a serpent. Or also if he ask an egg, he will not give him a scorpion. If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?

And they said to him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus has it been written by the prophet: And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means art thou least among the leaders of Judah for out of thee shall come forth the leader, who shall feed my people. Then Herod having secretly called for the magi, searched thoroughly from them the time of the star appearing. And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, Having gone, examine thoroughly concerning the child; and when ye should find, announce ye to me, so that I also, having gone, will worship him.

The son of twelve years was Manasseh in his reigning, and fifty and five years he reigned in Jerusalem. And he will do the evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as the abominations of the nations which Jehovah dispossessed from before the sons of Israel. And he will turn back and build the heights which Hezekiah his father pulled down; and he will raise up altars for the Baals, and he will make statues, and worship to all the army of the heavens, and he will serve them. read more.
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah, which Jehovah said, In Jerusalem shall be my name forever. And he will build altars to all the army of the heavens in the two enclosures of the house of Jehovah. And he caused his sons to pass through in fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: and he practiced magic and used divination, and offered prayers, and made sorcerers and wizards: he multiplied to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah to irritate him. And he will set up a carved image, the likeness which he made in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem which I chose from all the tribes of Israel, I will set my name forever. And I will not add to remove the foot of Israel from the land which I set to your fathers; only if they will watch to do all I commanded them, for all the law and the precepts and the judgments by the hand of Moses. And Manasseh will cause Judah and those inhabiting Jerusalem to wander, to do evil more than the nations which Jehovah destroyed from before the sons of Israel And Jehovah will speak to Manasseh, and to his people, and they attended not And Jehovah will bring upon them the chiefs of the army which were to the king of Assur, and they will take Manasseh with hooks, and they will bind him with fetters and cause him to go to Babel. And when straits were to him he besought the face of Jehovah his God, and he will humble himself greatly from before the God of his fathers. And he will pray to him, and he will be entreated for him, and he will hear his supplication, and he will turn him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. And Manasseh knew that Jehovah he is God. And after this he built a wall outside to the city of David from the west to Gihon, in the valley to the entering into the gate of fishes, and it turned round about to the hill, and he will lift it up greatly, and he will set chiefs of the army in all the fortified cities in Judah. And he will remove the strange gods and the likeness from the house of Jehovah, and all the altars which he built in the mountain of the house of Jehovah, and in Jerusalem, and he will cast without to the city. And he will build the altar of Jehovah, and he will sacrifice upon it sacrifices of peace and praise, and he will say to Judah serve Jehovah the God of Israel. But the people yet are sacrificing in the height, only to Jehovah their God. And the rest of the words of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers speaking to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold them upon the words of the kings of Israel. And his prayer, and he was entreated for him and all his sin, and his transgression, and the places where he built in them heights, and he set up statues and carved images before his humbling: behold them written upon the words of the seers. And Manasseh will lie down with his fathers, and they will bury him in his house: and Amon his son will reign in his stead.

Manasseh the son of twelve years in his reigning, and fifty and five years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name Hephzibah. And he will do evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to the abominations of the nations which Jehovah dispossessed from the face of the sons of Israel. And he will turn back and build the heights which Hezekiah his father destroyed; and he will raise up altars to Baal, and make a statue as did Ahab king of Israel; and he will worship to all the army of the heavens, and serve' them. read more.
And he built altars in the house of Jehovah where Jehovah said, In Jerusalem I will put my name. And he will build altars to all the army of the heavens in the two enclosures of the house of Jehovah. And he caused his sons to pass through in fire, and he practiced magic, and took auguries, and made necromancy and a wizard spirit: he multiplied to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah to irritate. And he will set up a carved thing of the image which he made in the house, of which Jehovah said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house and in Jerusalem which I chose from all the tribes of Israel, I will set my name forever: And I will not add to move the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers; only if they will watch to do according to all I commanded them, and for all the instructions which Moses my servant commanded them. But they heard not, and Manasseh will cause them to go astray to do evil more than the nations which Jehovah destroyed from the face of the sons of Israel. And Jehovah will speak by the hand of his servants the prophets, saying, Because Manasseh king of Judah did these abominations, doing evil above all which the Amorites did that were before him, and he will also cause Judah to sin with his blocks: For this, thus said Jehovah the God of Israel, Behold me bringing evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, which all hearing it, his two ears shall tingle. And I stretched over Jerusalem the cord of Shomeron, and the weight of the house of Ahab: and I wiped off Jerusalem as one will wipe dishes, wiping, and turning upon its face. And I thrust out the remainder of my inheritance, and I gave them into the hand of their enemies; and they were for plunder and for a prey to all their enemies. Because they did evil in mine eyes, and they will be irritating me from the day which their fathers came forth out of Egypt, and even to this day. And also Manasseh poured out innocent blood exceeding much, till he filled Jerusalem mouth to mouth; besides his sins which he caused Judah to sin to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah. And the rest of the words of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sins which he sinned, are they not written upon the book of the words of the days to the kings of Judah? And Manasseh will lie down with his fathers, and will be buried in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzzah: and Amon his son will reign in his stead.


And a man in Maon and his work in Carmel; and the man very great, and to him three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he will be in shearing his sheep in Carmel. And the name of the man Nabal; and his wife's name Abigail: and the woman good of understanding, and beautiful of form: and the man hard and evil of works; and he as his dog. And David will hear in the desert that Nabal sheared his sheep. read more.
And David will send ten boys, and David will say to the boys, Go up to Cannel and come to Nabal, and ask to him in my name for peace. And say thus to him living, And peace with thee, and to thy house peace, and all which is to thee, peace. And now I heard that shearers were to thee: now the shepherds which are to thee were with us, we harmed them not, and not anything was missing to them all the days of their being in Carmel. Ask thy boys and they will announce to thee. And the boys will find favor in thine eyes, for upon a good day we come: wilt thou give now what thy hand shall find to thy servants, and to thy son David? And David's boys will come and will speak to Nabal according to all these words in David's name, and they will rest And Nabal will answer David's servants, and say, Who is David? and who the son of Jesse? this day there were many servants breaking away a man from the face of his lord. And took I my bread and my water, and my slaughter which I slaughtered for my shearers, and gave to men whom I knew not from whence they are? And David's boys will turn about into their way, and turn back and come and announce to him according to all these words. And David will say to his men, Gird ye on, each his sword; and they will gird on each his sword, and also David will gird on his sword: and there will go up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred will sit down by the vessels. And one boy of the boys announced to Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers from the desert to bless my lord; and he will fly upon them. And the men were good to us exceedingly, and they harmed us not, and we missed not any thing all the days we went with them in our being in the field. They were a wall to us, also the night, also the day, all the days we were with them feeding the sheep. And now know and see what thou wilt do; for evil was finished against our lord and upon all his house: and he a son of Belial, from speaking to him. And Abigail will hasten and take two hundred of bread, and two flasks of wine, and five sheep done, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put upon asses. And she will say to her boys, Pass over before me; behold me coming after you. And she announced not to her husband Nabal. And it was she rode upon the ass, and came down in the hiding of the mountain, and behold, David and his men coming down to meet her; and she will meet them. (And David said, Surely in vain did I watch all which was to this one in the desert, and not any thing was missed from all which was to him; and he will turn back to me evil for good. Thus will God do the enemies of David and thus will he add if I shall leave from all which is to him till the light of the morning, him pissing against the wall.) And Abigail will see David, and will hasten, and will come down from the ass, and fall before David upon her face, and will worship him to the earth. And she will fall at his feet and say, In me, my lord, me the iniquity; and thy servant now will speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy servant. Now my lord shall not set his heart to this man of Belial upon Nebel: for as his name, so is he: Nabal his name, and folly with him: and I thy servant saw not the boys of my lord which thou sentest And now my lord, Jehovah lives and thy soul lives, for Jehovah withheld thee from coming by blood, and saving thy hand to thyself, and now thine enemies shall be as Nabal, they seeking out evil to my lord. And now this blessing which thy servant brought to my give it to the boys going at the feet of my lord. Lift up now, to the trespass of thy servant: for making, Jehovah will make to my lord a faithful house; for Jehovah fought the battles of my lord, and evil shall not be found in thee thy days. And a man will rise to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: and the soul of my lord was bound up in the bundle of lives with Jehovah thy God; and the soul of thine enemies he will sling out in the midst of the hand of the sling. And it was that Jehovah will do to my lord according to all the good which he spake concerning thee, and he commanded thee for leader over Israel; And this shall not be to thee for an obstacle and for a stumbling-block of heart to my lord, and to pour out blood gratuitously, and for my lord saving for himself: and the doing good of Jehovah to my lord, and remember thy servant And David will say to Abigail, Blessed Jehovah the God of Israel who sent thee this day to meet me. And blessed thy discernment, and blessed thou who finished me this day from coming for bloods, and my hand saving for me. But yet Jehovah the God of Israel lives who withheld me from doing thee evil, for unless thou hastenedst and came to meet me, for if there was left to Nabal by the light of the morning him pissing against the wall. And David will take from her hand what she brought to him, and he said to her, Go up for peace to thy house; see, I heard to thy voice, and I will lift up thy face. And Abigail will go to Nabal; and behold, to him a drinking in his house as the drinking of a king; and Nabal's heart good with him, and he was intoxicated even greatly; and she announced not to him a word small and great till the light of the morning. And it will be in the morning in the wine coming forth from Nabal, and his wife will announce to him these words, and his heart will die in the midst of him, and he was for a stone. And it will be about ten days, and Jehovah will strike Nabal, and he will die.
