And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake, and the multitudes wondered,

'When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are his goods;

'When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came forth;

then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becometh worst than the first.'

for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation.

And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before the messengers of God,

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

and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham -- and the rich man also died, and was buried;

And he said unto his disciples, 'Days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not behold it;

for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one part under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine, so shall be also the Son of Man in his day;

'And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man;

'According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son of Man is revealed;

saying, 'A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is not fearing, and man he is not regarding --

and he would not for a time, but after these things he said in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard,

I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the faith upon the earth?'

and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,

and having seen it, they were all murmuring, saying -- 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'

for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'

He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,

for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.

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

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

There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name is John,

He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;

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

this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:

and saith to him, 'Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.'

The ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'

and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'

The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

glory from man I do not receive,

work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- even God.'

Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves;

if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was before?

because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

he answered and said, 'A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;'

Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, 'This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, 'How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them.

They said to the blind man again, 'Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?'

They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, 'Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;'

The man answered and said to them, 'Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

The Jews answered him, saying, 'For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'

the multitude answered him, 'We heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this -- the Son of Man?'

When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, 'Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;

'The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was born to the world.
