He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father who sent him.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name.

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely bestowed on us in the beloved;

¹³ who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;

¹ GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets, ² in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds;

¹ ON this account, we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things heard, lest haply we should let them slip. ² For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution, ³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great a salvation; which began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard,

⁹ and being perfected became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him;

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him who speaks; for if they did not escape, refusing him who declared the divine will on earth, much more shall not we, who turn away from him who speaks from heaven; ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, saying: Yet once more I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven.

²⁷ But straightway Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good cheer; it is I, be not afraid.

⁵ And they being afraid and bowing their faces to the earth, they said to them: Why seek ye the living among the dead?

⁶ But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand on me, saying: Fear not: I am the first and the last,

⁸ And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw any one, but Jesus only with themselves.

³⁶ And when the voice had come, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

¹⁰ And having passed the first and the second watch, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them of its own accord; and they went out, and passed on through one street, and immediately the angel departed from him. ¹¹ And Peter, having come to himself, said: Now I know truly, that the Lord sent forth his angel, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

²⁰ And Jesus says to him: The foxes have holes and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man has not where he may lay his head.

²⁰ Then he charged his disciples, that they should tell no one that he is the Christ. ²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.

¹² But I say to you, that Elijah is already come, and they knew him not, but did with him whatever they would. So also is the Son of man about to suffer by them.

³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no one concerning him.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished. But he charged them to tell no one what was done.

³³ and they will scourge him, and put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again. ³⁴ And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hidden from them, and they knew not the things that were said.

¹⁴ And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah that should come.

³ And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. ⁴ And Peter answering said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here. If thou wilt, let us make here three tents; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

⁴⁷ Some of those standing there, hearing it, said: This man calls for Elijah. ⁴⁸ And straightway one of them ran and took a sponge, and having filled it with vinegar and put it on a reed, gave him to drink. ⁴⁹ But the rest said: Let alone; let us see whether Elijah comes to save him.

¹¹ And they asked him, saying: Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

²¹ And they asked him: What then? Art thou Elijah? And he says: I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he answered: No.

²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou immerse, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?

¹⁶ And many of the sons of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a prepared people for the Lord.

³ And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the immersion of repentance, unto remission of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, Make straight his paths. ⁵ Every valley shall be filled, And every mountain and hill shall be brought low; And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough ways smooth; ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. ⁷ He said therefore to the multitudes that came out to be immersed by him: Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance; and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. ⁹ And now also the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore, that brings not forth good fruit, is cut down and cast into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, saying: What then shall we do? ¹¹ He answering says to them: He that has two coats, let him impart to him that has none; and he that has food, let him do likewise. ¹² And there came also publicans to be immersed; and they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than that which is appointed you. ¹⁴ And soldiers also asked him, saying: What shall we also do? And he said to them: Do violence to no one, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

²¹ whom the heavens, indeed, must receive, until the times of the restoration of all things, which God spoke of by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning.

² And John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,

⁹ But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send forth my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee. ¹¹ Verily I say to you, among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ¹² And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent seize upon it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah that should come. ¹⁵ He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

³ For Herod laid hold of John, and bound him and put him in prison, for the sake of Herodias, the wife of Philip, his brother. ⁴ For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her. ⁵ And though desiring to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they held him as a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. ⁷ Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatever she should ask. ⁸ And she, being urged on by her mother, says: Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Immerser. ⁹ And the king was sorry; but for the sake of the oath, and of those who reclined at table with him, he commanded it to be given. ¹⁰ And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

²¹ From that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and rise on the third day.

²³ And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said: By what authority doest thou these things; and who gave thee this authority? ²⁴ And Jesus answering said to them: I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I too will tell you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ John's immersion, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven, he will say to us: Why then did ye not believe him?

³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.

¹⁴ And the king, Herod, heard of it, for his name was spread abroad; and he said: John the Immerser is risen from the dead, and therefore do these powers work in him. ¹⁵ Others said: It is Elijah. And others said: It is a prophet, like any one of the prophets. ¹⁶ But Herod hearing of it, said: John, whom I beheaded, is risen from the dead. ¹⁷ For he, Herod, sent forth and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison, for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip, his brother; because he had married her. ¹⁸ For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias was angry with him, and desired to put him to death; and she could not, ²⁰ for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man; and he observed him, and hearing him did many things, and heard him gladly. ²¹ And a convenient day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, and for the chief captains, and the first men of Galilee; ²² and the daughter of Herodias having come in and danced, it pleased Herod and those reclining at table with him; and the king said to the damsel: Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. ²³ And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ And she, going out, said to her mother: What shall I ask? And she said: The head of John the Immerser. ²⁵ And straightway she came in with haste to the king, and asked, saying: I will that immediately thou give me, on a platter, the head of John the Immerser. ²⁶ And the king became very sorrowful; but for the sake of his oath, and of those reclining with him, he would not reject her. ²⁷ And immediately the king sent one of the guard, and commanded to bring his head. And he went and beheaded him in the prison, ²⁸ and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.

³⁰ John's immersion, was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me. ³¹ And they reasoned among themselves, saying: ³² If we say, from heaven; he will say, why then did ye not believe him? But shall we say from men? They feared the people; for all held that John was verily a prophet.

¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother, and for all the evils which Herod did, ²⁰ added to all this also, that he shut up John in prison.

³³ For John the Immerser has come, neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say: He has a demon.

²¹ And strictly charging them, he commanded them to say this to no one; ²² saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected on the part of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day. ²³ And he said to all: If any one will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ For whoever will save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it ²⁵ For what is a man profited, when he has gained the whole world, and lost or forfeited himself?

¹¹ He came to his own, and his own received him not.

³² There is another that bears witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesses of me is true. ³³ Ye have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. ³⁴ But I receive the witness not from man; but these things I say, that ye might be saved. ³⁵ He was the burning and shining lamp; and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. ³⁶ But I have greater witness than that of John; for the works which the Father gave me to finish, the works themselves that I do bear witness of me, that the Father has sent me.

²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones;

¹⁴ But ye denied the Holy and Just, and demanded that a murderer should be granted to you. ¹⁵ But the Author of life ye killed; whom God raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses.

¹⁰ be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand here before you whole.

⁵² Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? And they slew those who announced beforehand concerning the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have now become the betrayers and murderers;

²⁴ John having first preached, before his entrance, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ Now as John was finishing his course, he said: Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose. ²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the race of Abraham, and whoever among you fears God, to you the word of this salvation was sent forth. ²⁷ For they who dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, fulfilled them in condemning him. ²⁸ And though they found no cause of death, they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.

¹⁴ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling down to him, and saying: ¹⁵ Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and is sorely afflicted; for ofttimes he falls into the fire, and oft into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. ¹⁷ And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me. ¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out from him, and the child was cured from that hour. ¹⁹ Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said: Why could not we cast him out?

⁴⁰ And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him: If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.

¹⁴ And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them. ¹⁵ And straightway all the multitude seeing him were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. ¹⁶ And he asked them: What question ye with them? ¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered him: Teacher, I brought to thee my son, having a dumb spirit. ¹⁸ And wherever it lays hold of him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they could not. ¹⁹ And he answering, says to them: O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him to him. And seeing him, straightway the spirit rent him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. ²¹ And he asked his father: How long is it, since this came upon him? And he said: From a child. ²² And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. ²³ Jesus said to him: If thou art able! All things are possible to the believing. ²⁴ And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my unbelief. ²⁵ And Jesus, seeing that a multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. ²⁶ And crying out, and rending him sorely, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that many said: He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up. ²⁸ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast it out? ²⁹ And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.

¹⁷ And as he was going forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeling to him, and asked him: Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

³⁷ And it came to pass, on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met him. ³⁸ And, behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying: Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son; for he is my only child. ³⁹ And, behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him with foaming, and hardly departs from him, bruising him. ⁴⁰ And I entreated thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. ⁴¹ And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy son. ⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father. ⁴³ And all were amazed at the mighty power of God. But while all were wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples:

²⁵ And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and did reverence to him. ²⁶ But Peter raised him, saying: Stand up; I myself also am a man.

²⁴ And his fame went forth into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were sick, taken with divers diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and lunatic, and palsied; and he healed them.

³¹ If thou cast us out, send us away into the herd of swine. ³² And he said to them, Go. And they, coming out, went away into the swine; and, behold, the whole herd rushed down the steep into the sea, and perished in the waters.

²² And behold, a woman of Canaan, coming out from those borders, cried to him, saying: Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is grievously possessed with a demon.

⁴ Because he had often been bound with fetters and chains; and the chains had been torn asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces, and no one could tame him. ⁵ And always, night and day, he was in the tombs, and in the mountains, crying out, and cutting himself with stones.

²² And there comes one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name. And seeing him, he fell at his feet, ²³ and besought him much, saying: My little daughter lies at the point of death. I pray thee come, and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed and live.

¹⁷ And one of the multitude answered him: Teacher, I brought to thee my son, having a dumb spirit. ¹⁸ And wherever it lays hold of him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they could not.

²⁰ And they brought him to him. And seeing him, straightway the spirit rent him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. ²¹ And he asked his father: How long is it, since this came upon him? And he said: From a child. ²² And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.

³⁸ And, behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying: Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son; for he is my only child. ³⁹ And, behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him with foaming, and hardly departs from him, bruising him. ⁴⁰ And I entreated thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not. ⁴¹ And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy son. ⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁴⁶ So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, in Capernaum. ⁴⁷ He, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son; for he was about to die.

¹⁹ Then the disciples, coming to Jesus apart, said: Why could not we cast him out? ²⁰ And he said to them: Because of your want of faith. For verily I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mountain, remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

⁴⁰ And I entreated thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

¹⁶ And his name, upon the faith in his name, made this man strong, whom ye see and know; and the faith, which is through Him, gave him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

¹⁵ And the evil spirit answering said: Jesus I know, and Paul I well know; but who are ye? ¹⁶ And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against both, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

³⁰ And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more you, ye of little faith?

²⁶ And he says to them: Why are ye fearful, ye of little faith? Then rising, he rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

⁵⁸ And he did not many miracles there, because of their unbelief.

⁸ And Jesus knowing it said: Ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye took no bread?

¹⁹ And he answering, says to them: O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.

¹⁴ Afterward he appeared to the eleven themselves as they reclined at table, and upbraided their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who saw him after he was risen.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring hither thy son.

²⁵ Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

²⁷ After that, he says to Thomas: Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.

¹⁸ And about the time of forty years he nourished them in the wilderness.

¹⁶ who then, when they had heard, provoked? Nay, was it not all who came forth out of Egypt by Moses? ¹⁷ But with whom was he offended forty years? Was it not with those who sinned? whose carcasses fell in the wilderness. ¹⁸ And to whom did he swear, that they should not enter into his rest, but to those who believed not? ¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in, because of unbelief.

²² And Jesus, turning and seeing her, said: Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith has made thee whole.

²² Then was brought to him one possessed with a demon, blind, and dumb; and he healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw.

²⁸ Then Jesus answering said to her: O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

³⁴ And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

⁸ For he said to him: Come forth, unclean spirit, out of the man.

²⁵ And Jesus, seeing that a multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. ²⁶ And crying out, and rending him sorely, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that many said: He is dead. ²⁷ But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Hold thy peace, and come out from him. And the demon throwing him in the midst came out from him, doing him no harm. ³⁶ And amazement came on all; and they spoke with one another, saying: What is this word, that with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out?

⁴¹ And demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying: Thou art the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, suffered them not to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

²⁹ For he commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For of a long time it had seized him, and he was bound, being secured with chains and fetters; and bursting the bands, he was driven by the demon into the deserts.

⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁵² He inquired of them, therefore, the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. ⁵³ The father knew, therefore, that it was in the same hour in which Jesus said to him: Thy son lives. And he himself believed, and his whole house.

¹⁸ And this she did many days. But Paul, being indignant, turned and said to the spirit: I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her. And he came out the same hour.

¹³ Then some of the wandering Jewish exorcists took upon them to name, over those who had the evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches. ¹⁴ And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this. ¹⁵ And the evil spirit answering said: Jesus I know, and Paul I well know; but who are ye?

¹⁰ And when he was alone, they who were about him with the twelve asked him concerning the parables.

²⁸ And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast it out?

³¹ Another parable he put forth to them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard, which a man took and sowed in his field.

³⁰ But seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me. ³¹ And immediately Jesus, stretching forth his hand, took hold of him, and said to him: Thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

⁹ And as they came down out of the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is risen from the dead.

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.

²¹ And Jesus answering said to them: Verily I say to you, if ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what is done to the fig-tree, but even if ye say to this mountain, be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it shall be done.

³¹ As a grain of mustard; which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.

²³ Jesus said to him: If thou art able! All things are possible to the believing.

²³ Verily I say to you, that whoever shall say to this mountain: Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he says comes to pass, he shall have it.

³⁷ For with God nothing shall be impossible.

⁶ And the Lord said: If ye had faith as a grain of mustard, ye would say to this sycamine-tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and planted in the sea; and it would have obeyed you.

²⁷ And he said: The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.

⁴⁰ Jesus says to her: Said I not to thee, that, if thou believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?

⁹ to another faith, by the same Spirit; to another gifts of healings by the one Spirit;

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in, because of unbelief.

⁴⁵ Then he goes, and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. So shall it be also with this wicked generation.

²⁹ And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.

² And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, unto the work to which I have called them. ³ Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

²³ And having appointed for them elders in every church, they commended them, with prayer and fasting, to the Lord, on whom they believed.

⁵ Defraud not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and come again together, that Satan may not tempt you on account of your incontinency.

²⁷ by weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

¹⁸ praying at every fitting season in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

²⁸ Verily I say to you, there are some of those standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹⁷ And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart; and in the way he said to them: ¹⁸ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death,

¹⁰ And then will many be offended, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another.

¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him up.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us be going. Behold, he is at hand that betrays me.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³⁰ And going forth from thence, they passed through Galilee and he would not that any one should know it. ³¹ For he taught his disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him and when he is killed, after three days he will rise again. ³² But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

³³ Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they will condemn him to death and will deliver him up to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and they will mock him, and scourge him, and spit upon him, and will kill him; and after three days he will rise again.

²² saying: The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected on the part of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day.

⁴⁴ Do ye let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men. ⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hidden from them, that they perceived it not; and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.

³¹ And taking with him the twelve, he said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things written by the prophets for the Son of man shall be accomplished. ³² For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon,

⁶ He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke to you when he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.

²⁶ Was it not necessary, that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and should rise from the dead on the third day;

²³ For I received from the Lord, what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which he was betrayed, took a loaf;

¹⁹ Jesus answered and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

⁶ But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, that ye will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and ye will be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. ²¹ A woman when she is in travail has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has borne the child, she remembers no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. ²² And so ye now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one takes from you.

²³ this man, delivered up according to the established counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye slew, crucifying him by the hand of lawless ones; ²⁴ whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be held by it. ²⁵ For David says concerning him: I saw the Lord always before me; Because he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. ²⁶ For this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue exulted; Moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope; ²⁷ Because thou wilt not abandon my soul to the underworld, Nor wilt thou suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou didst make known to me the ways of life; Thou wilt make me full of joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his sepulchre is among us unto this day. ³⁰ Being a prophet, therefore, and knowing that God swore to him, with an oath, that of the fruit of his loins one should sit on his throne, ³¹ he, foreseeing, spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was his soul abandoned to the underworld, nor did his flesh see corruption.

³ For I delivered to you first of all what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; ⁴ and that he was buried, and that he has risen on the third day according to the Scriptures;

³³ And they came to Capernaum. And having come into the house he inquired of them: Of what were ye reasoning among yourselves by the way?

¹⁵ And Jesus answering said to him: Suffer it now; for thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

¹⁷ Tell us, therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?

¹⁹ Show me the tribute money. And they brought to him a denáry.

²¹ They say to him: Caesar's. Then says he to them; Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.

⁶ For, for this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are God's ministers, attending continually to this very thing. ⁷ Render therefore to all their dues; tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor.

¹² Then came to him his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou that the Pharisees, when they heard the saying, were offended? ¹³ And he answering said: Every plant, which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. ¹⁴ Let them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into the ditch.

⁶¹ But Jesus, knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Does this offend you?

²¹ It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbles, or is made to offend, or is weak.

¹ Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ² Let each one of us please his neighbor, for his good, to edification. ³ For also Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written: The reproaches of those who reproached thee, fell on me.

⁹ But take heed, lest haply this liberty of yours become a stumbling-block to the weak.

¹³ Wherefore, if food cause my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh for ever more, that I may not cause my brother to offend.

¹⁹ For being free from all men, I made myself servant to all, that I might gain the more. ²⁰ And to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under law, as under law, not being myself under law, that I might gain those under law; ²¹ to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but under law to Christ), that I might gain those without law. ²² To the weak I became as weak, that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all, that I may by all means save some.

³² Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews or Greeks, or to the church of God; ³³ as I also please all in all things, not seeking my own profit, but that of the many, that they may be saved.

³ giving no cause of offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed;

⁹ For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

⁷ In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works; in teaching, showing uncorruptness, gravity, ⁸ sound speech, that can not be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be put to shame, having no evil thing to say of us.

⁷ Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor; ⁸ Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.

⁵ Hearken, my beloved brethren. Did not God choose the poor as to this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
