And, entering into a boat, he crossed over, and came into his own city. And lo! they were bringing unto him a paralytic, on a couch, laid prostrate; and Jesus, seeing, their faith, said to the paralytic, - Take courage! child, forgiven are thy sins. And lo! certain of the scribes, said within themselves, - This man, speaketh profanely! read more.
And Jesus, knowing, their inward thoughts, said, - To what end are ye cherishing evil thoughts within your hearts? For which is easier - To say, Forgiven are thy sins, - or to say, Rise and be walking! But, that ye may know, that the Son of Man hath, authority, upon the earth, to be forgiving sins, then, saith he to the paralytic, - Rise! take up thy couch, and withdraw unto thy house. And, rising, he departed unto his house. Now the multitudes, seeing, were struck with fear, and glorified the God who had given authority, such as this, unto men. And Jesus, passing aside from thence, saw a man presiding over the tax-office, called, Matthew, and saith unto him, - Be following me. And, arising, he followed him. And it came to pass, as he was reclining in the house, that 1o! many tax-collectors and sinners, came, and were reclining together with Jesus and his disciples. And, the Pharisees, observing it, began to say unto his disciples, - Wherefore, with tax-collectors and sinners, doth your Teacher eat? And, he, hearing it, said, - No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick. But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, - Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners. Then come near unto him the disciples of John, saying, - Wherefore do, we, and the Pharisees, fast, whereas, thy disciples, fast not? And Jesus said unto them, - Can, the sons of the bridechamber, mourn, so long as, the bridegroom, is, with them? But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast. Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, - for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made. Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, - but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved. While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a certainruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, - My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live. And Jesus, arising, was following him, also his disciples. And lo! a woman, having a flow of blood twelve years, coming near behind, touched the fringe of his mantle. For she kept saying within herself, - If only I touch his mantle, I shall be made well! And, Jesus, turning and seeing her, said, - Take courage! daughter, Thy faith, hath made thee well. And the woman was made well, from that hour. And, Jesus, coming, into the house of the ruler, and seeing the flute-players and the multitude in confusion, was saying: Give place! for the maiden died not, but is sleeping. And they began to deride him. But, when the multitude had been put forth, he went in, and grasped her hand, - and the maiden arose. And forth went this report, into the whole of that land.

And, when they came into Capernaum, they who, the half shekel, were receiving, came near unto Peter, and said, Your teacher, doth he not pay the half shekel?

And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching; and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, - for he was teaching them as one having authority, and, not as the Scribes. And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, - and he cried out aloud, read more.
saying - What have we in common with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, The Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying- Be silenced, and come forth out of him! And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him; and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying - What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him! And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee. And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her; and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, - and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them. And, evening arriving, when the sun went in, they were bearing unto him all who were sick, and them who were demonized; and all the city was gathered unto the door; and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, - because they knew him to be Christ. And, very early by night arising, he went out and departedinto a desert place, and, there, was praying; and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him, and found him, and say unto him - All, are seeking thee; and he saith unto them - Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, - for, to this end, came I forth; and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, - and, was casting the demons out. And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and kneeling, - saying unto him - If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me; and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him - I am willing, Be cleansed! and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed; and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth; and saith unto him - Mind! unto no one, say aught, - but withdraw, thyself, show unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what things Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them. But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, - but, outside, in desert places, was he, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.

And he entered again into a synagogue, and there-was there, a man having, his hand, withered; and they were narrowly watching him, whether, on the Sabbath, he would cure him, that they might accuse him. And he saith unto the man who hath his hand withered, Arise into the midst! read more.
and saith unto them - Is it allowed, on the Sabbath, to do good, or to do evil? To, save, life, or, to slay? but they remained silent. And, looking round upon them with anger, being at the same time grieved on account of the hardening of their heart, he saith unto the man - Stretch forth thy hand! and he stretched it forth, and his hand, was restored. And, the Pharisees, going out straightway with the Herodians, were giving counsel against him, that they should, destroy, him.

After he had completed all his sayings within the hearing of the people, he entered into Capernaum. And, a certain centurion's servant, being sick, was on the point of dying, - who was, by him, highly prized. But, hearing about Jesus, he sent forth unto him elders of the Jews, requesting him that he would come and bring his servant safely through. read more.
And, they, coming near unto Jesus, began beseeching him earnestly, saying - Worthy, is he for whom thou mayest do this, for he loveth our nation, and, the synagogue, he, built for us. And, Jesus, was journeying with them. But, he, by this time, being not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying unto him - Lord! do not trouble thyself, for I am of no consideration, that, under my roof, thou shouldst enter. Wherefore, neither deemed I, myself, worthy to come unto thee, - but speak with a word, and let my servant be healed. For, I too, am a man ranked, under authority, having, under myself, soldiers; and I say to this one - Go! and he goeth, - and to another - Come! and he cometh, - and to my servant - Do this! and he doeth it. And, hearing these things, Jesus marvelled at him; and, turning to the multitude following him, said - I tell you, Not even in Israel, such faith as this, have I found! And they who were sent, returning unto the house, found the servant, well.

So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in Capernaum. The same, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, came away unto him, and began requesting him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was on the point of dying. Jesus therefore said unto him - Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe. read more.
The courtier saith unto him - Sir! come down, ere my child die! Jesus saith unto him - Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way. And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living. So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, unto him - Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. So the father took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him - Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.

and, entering into a boat, were going across the sea into Capernaum. And, dark, already, had it become, and, not yet, had Jesus reached them; moreover the sea, by reason of a great wind that blew, was rising high. Having therefore rowed about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they observe Jesus, walking upon the sea, and, near the boat, coming; and they were affrighted. read more.
But, he, saith unto them - It is, I: be not affrighted! They were willing, therefore, to receive him into the boat; and, straightway, the boat was at land, whither they had been slowly going. On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other side of the sea, saw that there was not, another small-boat, there, save one, - and that Jesus entered not, along with his disciples, unto the boat, but that, alone, his disciples departed: - howbeit there came boats out of Tiberias, near the place where they did eat the bread, after the Lord had given thanks: - When, therefore, the multitude saw, that, Jesus, was not there, nor yet his disciples, they themselves, got into the small boats, and came unto Capernaum, seeking Jesus; and, finding him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him - Rabbi! when, camest thou, hither?

These things, said he, as, in a synagogue, he was teaching, in Capernaum.




Lo! a these things, doth GOD work, two ways, three, with a man; To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living. Mark well, O Job, and hearken to me, Be silent, and, I, will speak: read more.

Mighty things, hast thou done - Thou, Yahweh my God, Thy wonderful doings and thy purposes to-wards us, There is no setting them in order unto thee - I would tell, and would speak! - They are too great to rehearse. Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, - Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:

For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect; Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified? But, in them, is a recalling to mind of sins, year by year, read more.
For it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to be taking away sins. Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith: Sacrifice and offering, thou willedst not, but, a body, hast thou fitted for me, - In whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sins, thou didst not delight: Then, said I - Lo! I am come, - in the heading of the scroll, it is written concerning me, - to do, O God, thy will. Higher up, saying - Sacrifices, and offerings, and whole-burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sins, thou willedst not, neither delightedst in, - the which, according to the law, are offered, Then, hath he said - Lo! I am come! to do, thy will: - he taketh away the first, that, the second, he may establish:

But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because ye are locking up the kingdom of the heavens before men, - for, ye, are not entering, neither, them who are entering, suffer ye to enter.

But days will come, when the bridegroom, shall be taken from them, and, then, will they fast. Howbeit, no one, layeth on a patch of unshrunk cloth, upon an old garment, - for the shrinking of it teareth away from the garment, and, a worse rent, is made. Neither pour they new wine into old skins: otherwise at least, the skins are burst, and, the wine, runneth out, and, the skins, are spoiled, - but they pour new wine into unused skins, and, both, are together preserved.

But there will come days, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and, then, they will fast, in that day. No one, seweth a patch of unshrunk cloth upon an old mantle, - otherwise, at least, the shrinking teareth away from it - the new from the old - and, a worse rent is made. And, no one, poureth new wine into fold skins, - otherwise, at least, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and, the skins. But new wine is for unused skins.

Jesus, however, said unto them - Can, ye make, the sons of the bridechamber, fast, while the bridegroom is with them? But there will come days, even when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, then, will they fast, in those days. Moreover, he went on to speak, a parable also, unto them - No one, rending a patch from a new mantle, patcheth it upon an old mantle; otherwise, at least, both, the new, he will rend, and, with the old, the patch which is from the new, will not agree. And, no one, poureth new wine into old skins; otherwise, at least, the new wine, will burst the skins, and will, itself, be poured out, and the skins be destroyed. But, new wine, into unused skins, must be poured. No one, having drunk old, desireth new; for he saith, The old, is, mellow.

Sacrifice and meal-offering, thou didst not delight in, Ears, didst thou pierce for me, - Ascending-sacrifice and sin-bearer, thou didst not ask:

For the law, having in a shadow of the destined good things, not the very image of the things, they can never, with the same sacrifices which year by year they offer evermore, make them who approach, perfect; Else would they not, in that case, have ceased being offered, by reason of those rendering the divine service having no further conscience at all of sins, being once for all purified?

And, he, hearing it, said, - No need have the strong, of a physician, but they who are sick. But go ye, and learn what this meaneth, - Mercy, I desire, and not, sacrifice; For I came, not to call the righteous, but sinners.
