¹ And when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives, He sends two of His disciples ² and says to them, “Go into the village before you, and immediately entering into it, you will find a colt having been tied, upon which no one of men has ever sat; having untied it, also bring it. ³ And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘Because the Lord has need of it, and He will send it back here soon.’” ⁴ And they departed and found the colt having been tied at the door outside, by the street. And they untied it, ⁵ and some of those standing there were saying to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” ⁶ And they spoke to them as Jesus had commanded, and they allowed them. ⁷ And they led the colt to Jesus, and they cast upon it their cloaks, and He sat on it. ⁸ And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others, branches having been cut down from the fields. ⁹ And those going before and those following were crying out: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” ¹⁰ “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father, David!” “Hosanna in the highest!” ¹¹ And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and having looked around on all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve. ¹² And on the next day, they having gone out from Bethany, He was hungry. ¹³ And having seen a fig tree from afar, having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He will find anything on it.

Answer Me.” ³¹ And they began reasoning with themselves, saying, “What should we say? If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ³² But should we say, ‘From men’...” They were afraid of the people, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet. ³³ And answering to Jesus, they say, “We do not know.” And Jesus says to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.”

Therefore cut it down! Why even should it use up the ground?’ ⁸ And answering, he says to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I shall dig around it, and put in manure, ⁹ and if indeed it should bear fruit in the time, so be it. But if not, you will cut it down.’”

¹⁰ Already now the ax is applied to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

¹⁹ Every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.

³³ Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad. For the tree is known by the fruit. ³⁴ Offspring of vipers, how are you able to speak good things, being evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. ³⁵ The good man out of his good treasure puts forth good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure puts forth evil things.

³³ Hear another parable: There was a man, a master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and placed around it a fence, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower; and he rented it out to farmers and traveled abroad.

⁴⁴ And the one having fallen on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”

⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and it is burned.

²⁰ For if, having escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, now again having been entangled in these they are subdued, the last state has become worse to them than the first.

¹¹ The one being unrighteous, let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous, let him practice righteousness still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

¹² And Jesus entered into the temple and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves. ¹³ And He says to them, “It has been written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” ¹⁴ And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. ¹⁵ And the chief priests and the scribes, having seen the wonders that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were indignant ¹⁶ and said to Him, “Do you hear what these say?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes, have you never read: ‘Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You have prepared for yourself praise’?”

⁴⁵ And having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling, ⁴⁶ saying to them, “It has been written: ‘And My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” ⁴⁷ And He was teaching every day in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the foremost of the people were seeking to destroy Him.

¹³ And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting. ¹⁵ And having made a whip of cords, He drove out all from the temple, both sheep and oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overthrew the tables. ¹⁶ And to those selling doves He said, “Take these things from here! Do not make My Father’s house a house of trade.” ¹⁷ His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house will consume Me.”

⁴⁶ saying to them, “It has been written: ‘And My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”

¹⁶ And to those selling doves He said, “Take these things from here! Do not make My Father’s house a house of trade.”

²⁸ And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were astonished at His teaching.

¹⁵ And the chief priests and the scribes, having seen the wonders that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were indignant

³⁸ But the farmers having seen the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him and gain possession of his inheritance.’ ³⁹ And having taking him, they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

⁴⁵ And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard His parables, knew that He speaks about them. ⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold of Him, they feared the crowds, because they were holding Him as a prophet.

³ Then the chief priests and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas, ⁴ and they plotted together, in order that they might seize Jesus by guile and kill Him.

²² And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

⁶ And the Pharisees having gone out, immediately began to take counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

²⁰ For Herod was afraid of John, knowing him a righteous and holy man; and he kept him safe. And having heard him, he was greatly perplexed, and heard him gladly.

³² But should we say, ‘From men’...” They were afraid of the people, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet.

¹² And they were seeking to lay hold of Him, and yet they feared the crowd; for they knew that He had spoken the parable against them. And having left Him, they went away.

¹ And after two days it would be the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, having taken Him by stealth, they might kill Him. ² For they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.”

²² And all were bearing witness to Him and marveling at the grace of the words that are proceeding out of His mouth. And they were saying, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”

⁴⁷ And He was teaching every day in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the foremost of the people were seeking to destroy Him.

¹⁹ And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on Him in that hour, and they feared the people. For they perceived that He was speaking this parable against them.

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “Never has a man spoken like this, as this man speaks.”

⁵³ So from that day, they took counsel together that they might kill Him. ⁵⁴ Therefore Jesus no longer walked publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. And there He stayed with the disciples. ⁵⁵ Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the region before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves. ⁵⁶ Therefore they were seeking Jesus and were saying among one another standing in the temple, “What does it seem to you, that He will not come to the feast?” ⁵⁷ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone should know where He is, he should show it, so that they might seize Him.

²⁵ And of him reasoning concerning righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix, having become frightened, answered, “Go away for the present, and having found opportunity, I will call for you.”

⁵ And if anyone should desire to harm them, fire goes out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone should desire to harm them, thus it is necessary for him to be killed. ⁶ These have the power to shut the sky, so that no rain shall fall in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they might desire. ⁷ And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast coming up out of the abyss will make war with them, and will overcome them, and will kill them. ⁸ And their body will be upon the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹ And those of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations gaze upon their bodies three and a half days, and they will not allow their bodies to be put into a tomb. ¹⁰ And those dwelling on the earth rejoice over them and make merry, and will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets have tormented those dwelling upon the earth. ¹¹ And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple; and having looked around on all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

³⁷ And during the day He was teaching in the temple, and in the evening going out, He was lodging on the mount called Olivet.

³⁶ While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hidden from them.

⁶ And the sun having risen, they were scorched, and through not having root, were dried up.

¹³ And answering He said, “Every plant that My Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.

¹⁴ And answering He said to it, “May no one eat the fruit of you, no more to the age.” And His disciples were listening.

⁸ But that bringing forth thorns and thistles is worthless and near to a curse, of which the end is unto burning.

¹² These are the hidden reefs, feasting together with you fearlessly in your love feasts; shepherding themselves; clouds without water, being carried about by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, twice having died, having been uprooted;

⁷ and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by men.

⁴¹ Then also He will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from Me, those being cursed, into the eternal fire, having been prepared for the devil and his angels.

²² If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha!

²³ And Jesus said to him, “If You are able? All things are possible to the one believing.”

¹ Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me.

¹² having been buried with Him in baptism, in which also you were raised with Him through the faith of the working of God, the One having raised Him out from the dead.

¹ Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the elect of God and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

¹³ And Jesus having heard, withdrew from there by boat to a secluded place by Himself. And the crowds having heard of it, followed Him on foot from the towns.

²⁰ And He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you.”

²¹ And Jesus answering said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and not do doubt, you will do not only this of the fig tree, but even if you should say to this mountain, ‘Be you taken away and be you cast into the sea,’ it will come to pass.

⁶ And the Lord said, “If you have faith like a grain of mustard, you would have said to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would have obeyed you.

¹³ And whatever you might ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

⁷ If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and to you it will come to pass.

¹⁸ who against hope, in hope believed, for him to become the father of many nations, according to that having been spoken, “So shall your offspring be.” ¹⁹ And not having become weak in the faith, he considered his body already having become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb. ²⁰ Yet he did not waver through unbelief at the promise of God, but was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, ²¹ and having been fully assured that what He had promised, He is also able to do. ²² Therefore also “it was credited to him unto righteousness.” ²³ Now it was not written on account of him alone that “it was credited to him,” ²⁴ but also on account of us, to whom it is about to be credited, to those believing on the One having raised Jesus our Lord out from the dead, ²⁵ who was delivered over for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

² And if I should have prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

¹⁷ By faith Abraham, being tested, has offered up Isaac. Even the one having received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, ¹⁸ as to whom it was said, “In Isaac your offspring will be reckoned,” ¹⁹ having reasoned that God was able even to raise him out from the dead, from where he received him also in a simile.

⁵ Now if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, the One giving generously to all and not finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for the one doubting is like a wave of the sea, being blown and being tossed by the wind.

⁷ Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened unto you. ⁸ For everyone asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking, it will be opened. ⁹ Or which man is among you who, if his son will ask for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or also, if he will ask for a fish, will give him a serpent? ¹¹ Therefore, if you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in the heavens give good things to those asking Him!

¹⁹ Again truly I say to you that if two of you on the earth might agree concerning any matter that they shall ask, it will be done for them by My Father who is in the heavens.

²² And all things, as many as you might ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

⁹ And I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking, it will be opened. ¹¹ And which father among you, if the son will ask for a fish, and instead of a fish, will give to him a serpent? ¹² Or also if he will ask for an egg, will he give to him a scorpion? ¹³ Therefore if you, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”

¹ And He was speaking to them a parable about the way it behooves them always to pray and not to lose heart, ² saying, “In a certain city, there was a certain judge, not fearing God, and not respecting man. ³ And there was a widow in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, ‘Avenge me of my adversary.’ ⁴ And for a time he would not, but afterward he said within himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God, nor respect man, ⁵ yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, so that in the end she does not exhaust me, coming to me.’” ⁶ And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. ⁷ And shall not God execute the avenging of His elect, the ones crying out to Him day and night, and be deferring in regard to them? ⁸ I say to you that He will execute their avenging in quickness. Nevertheless, the Son of Man having come, will He find faith on the earth?”

²³ And in that day, you will ask of Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you may ask the Father in My name, He will give you. ²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full. ²⁵ I have spoken these things to you in allegories; an hour is coming when I will speak to you no more in allegories, but I will report to you plainly concerning the Father. ²⁶ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will implore the Father for you. ²⁷ For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from God.

¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one ailing, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he might be one having committed sins, it will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ Therefore confess the sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man being made effective prevails much. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man of like nature to us, and with fervent prayer he prayed for it not to rain, and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

²² and whatever we might ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him.

¹⁴ And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we might ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we might ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from Him.

²³ Therefore, if you shall offer your gift at the altar, and there shall remember that your brother has something against you,

⁵ And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they might be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their recompense.

¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

¹⁴ For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

²³ Because of this, the kingdom of the heavens has become like to a man, a king, who desired to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴ And he having begun to settle, one was brought to him, a debtor of ten thousand talents. ²⁵ And of him having nothing to pay, the master commanded him to be sold, and the wife and children, and everything that he had, and payment to be made. ²⁶ Therefore the servant, having fallen down, was bowing on his knees to him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay everything to you.’ ²⁷ And the master of that servant having been moved with compassion, released him and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ But the same servant having gone out, found one of his fellow servants who was owing him a hundred denarii, and having seized him, he was throttling him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’ ²⁹ Therefore his fellow servant having fallen down, was begging him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ ³⁰ But he was not willing. Rather, having gone, he cast him into prison until he should pay what was owed. ³¹ Therefore his fellow servants having seen the things having taken place, were deeply grieved, and having gone, narrated to their master everything having taken place. ³² Then his master having called him, says to him, ‘Evil servant, I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. ³³ Did it not behoove you also to have pitied your fellow servant, as I also had pitied you?’ ³⁴ And having been angry, his master delivered him to the jailers, until that he should pay all being owed to him. ³⁵ Thus also My Heavenly Father will do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from your heart.”

³⁷ And do not judge that you should not be judged; and do not condemn that you should not be condemned; forgive and you will be forgiven.

¹¹ The Pharisee having stood, was praying toward himself thus: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of the men—swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.

³² And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, as also in Christ God forgave you.

¹³ bearing with each other and forgiving each other. If anyone should have a complaint against another, even as also the Lord has forgiven you, so also you.

¹³ For judgment without mercy will be to the one not having shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

⁴ These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Lord of the earth.

²³ And of Him having come into the temple, teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him, saying, “By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave to You this authority?” ²⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I also will say to you by what authority I do these things. ²⁵ From where was the baptism of John? From heaven, or from men?” And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘from heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’ ²⁶ But if we should say, ‘from men,’ we fear the multitude; for all hold John as a prophet.” ²⁷ And answering Jesus, they said “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

¹ And after two days it would be the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, having taken Him by stealth, they might kill Him.

¹ And it came to pass on one of the days He was teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came up with the elders, ² and spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things, or who is the one having given to You this authority?” ³ And answering, He said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, and you tell Me: ⁴ The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men?” ⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “If we should say ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you not believe him?’ ⁶ But if we should say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.” ⁷ And they answered, they did not know from where. ⁸ And Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

²³ and Jesus was walking in the temple in the porch of Solomon.

²⁰ Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where the Jews always come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

⁵ And it came to pass on the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem, ⁶ and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent. ⁷ And having placed them in the midst, they began to inquire, “In what power or in what name have you done this?” ⁸ Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,

²⁷ For in truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together in this city against Your holy servant Jesus whom You anointed, ²⁸ to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose had determined beforehand to happen.

²⁷ But the one mistreating the neighbor pushed him away, having said, ‘Who appointed you ruler and judge over us? ²⁸ Do you desire to kill me, the same way you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’

³⁸ This is the one having been in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and who was with our fathers. He received living oracles to give to us, ³⁹ to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,

⁵¹ You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, also do you.

²⁴ And Jesus answering, said to them, “I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I also will say to you by what authority I do these things.

¹ Now in those days John the Baptist comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, ² and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.” ³ For this is the one having been spoken of through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.’” ⁴ And John himself had his garment of camel’s hair, and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ At that time were going out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan, ⁶ and confessing their sins, were being baptized by him in the Jordan River. ⁷ But having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance. ⁹ And do not presume to say within yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that out of these stones God is able to raise up children unto Abraham. ¹⁰ Already now the ax is applied to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. ¹¹ I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but after me is coming He who is mightier than I, of whom I am not worthy to carry the sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire, ¹² whose winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and will gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” ¹³ Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ But John was hindering Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” ¹⁵ But Jesus answering, said unto him, “Permit it presently; for thus it is fitting to us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permits Him. ¹⁶ And immediately, having been baptized, Jesus went up from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and alighting upon Him. ¹⁷ And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I was well pleased.”

¹ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God. ² As it has been written in the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way.” ³ “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.’” ⁴ John came baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. ⁵ And all the region of Judea and all of Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. ⁶ And John was clothed in camel’s hair and a belt of leather around his waist; and he is eating locusts and wild honey. ⁷ And he was preaching, saying, “He who comes after me is mightier than I, of whom I am not sufficient, having stooped down, to untie the strap of His sandals. ⁸ I baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” ⁹ And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. ¹⁰ And immediately going up from the water, he saw the heavens tearing open and the Spirit descending as a dove upon Him. ¹¹ And a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My Son, the beloved; in You I am well pleased.”

¹³ But I say to you, that also Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they desired, as it has been written of him.”

¹ And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene, ² during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. ³ And he went into all the region surrounding the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins, ⁴ as it has been 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 His paths straight.’ ⁵ Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the crooked will become into straight, and the rough ways into smooth. ⁶ And all flesh will see the salvation of God.” ⁷ So he was saying to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “Offspring of vipers, who forewarned you to flee from the coming wrath? ⁸ Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say in yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. ⁹ And already also the ax is applied to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into the fire.” ¹⁰ And the crowds were asking him, saying, “What then shall we do?” ¹¹ And answering, he was saying to them, “The one having two tunics, let him impart to the one having none; and the one having food, let him do likewise.” ¹² And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?” ¹³ And he said to them, “Collect nothing more beyond that having been appointed to you.” ¹⁴ And those being soldiers also were asking him, saying, “And what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Extort no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.” ¹⁵ And the people are expecting and all wondering in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ. ¹⁶ John answered all saying, “I indeed baptize you with water, but the One mightier than I comes, of whom I am not worthy to untie the strap of His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire, ¹⁷ of whom the winnowing fork is in His hand to clear His threshing floor, and to gather the wheat into His barn. But He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” ¹⁸ Therefore indeed exhorting many other things, he was preaching the good news to the people. ¹⁹ But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother, and concerning all the evils that Herod had done, ²⁰ added this yet to all: He also locked up John in prison.

⁶ There came a man having been sent from God. His name was John. ⁷ He came as a witness, that he might testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through him. ⁸ He was not the Light, but came that he might witness concerning the Light.

¹⁵ John witnesses concerning Him, and he cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I was saying, ‘The One coming after me has precedence over me, because He was before me.’” ¹⁶ For from His fullness, we have all received and grace upon grace. ¹⁷ For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ No one has ever yet seen God. The only begotten God, the One being in the bosom of the Father, He has made Him known. ¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem, that they might ask him, “Who are you?” ²⁰ And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” ²¹ And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.” ²² Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, that we might give an answer to those having sent us? What do you say about yourself?” ²³ He was saying, “I am a voice crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said. ²⁴ And those having been sent were of the Pharisees, ²⁵ and they asked him and said to him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?” ²⁶ John answered them saying, “I baptize with water, but in the midst of you stands One whom you do not know, ²⁷ the One coming after me, of whom am I not worthy that I should untie the strap of His sandal.” ²⁸ These things took place in Bethany, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ On the next day, he sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold the Lamb of God, the One taking away the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is He concerning whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who has precedence over me, because He was before me.’ ³¹ And I did not know Him. But so that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this, I came baptizing with water.” ³² And John bore witness saying, “I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him. ³³ And I did not know Him; but the One having sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and abiding on Him, He is the One baptizing with the Holy Spirit.’ ³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” ³⁵ On the next day John again was standing, and two of his disciples. ³⁶ And having looked at Jesus walking, he says, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

²⁵ Then a debate arose among the disciples of John with a certain Jew about purification. ²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, behold He baptizes, and all are coming to Him.” ²⁷ John answered and said, “A man is able to receive not one thing if it is not given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear witness to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before Him.’ ²⁹ The one having the bride is the bridegroom; and the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing and listening for him, rejoices with joy because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled. ³⁰ It behooves Him to increase, but me to decrease. ³¹ The One coming from above is above all. The one being from the earth is from the earth, and speaks from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all. ³² What He has seen and heard, this He testifies, but no one receives His testimony. ³³ The one having received His testimony has set his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He whom God sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit without measure. ³⁵ The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand. ³⁶ The one believing in the Son has eternal life, but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

⁷ And as these were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? ⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man having been dressed in delicate clothing? Behold, those wearing delicate clothing are in kings’ houses. ⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet. ¹⁰ For this is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’ ¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he! ¹² And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence and the violent seize it. ¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. ¹⁴ And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the one being about to come.

³¹ Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and you having seen, did not even repent afterward to believe him.

¹⁵ John witnesses concerning Him, and he cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I was saying, ‘The One coming after me has precedence over me, because He was before me.’”

²⁹ On the next day, he sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold the Lamb of God, the One taking away the sin of the world.

³⁴ And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”

³⁶ And having looked at Jesus walking, he says, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

⁵ At that time were going out to him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan, ⁶ and confessing their sins, were being baptized by him in the Jordan River.

⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet.

⁵ Although wishing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because they were holding him as a prophet.

⁴⁶ And seeking to lay hold of Him, they feared the crowds, because they were holding Him as a prophet.

²⁶ But what have you gone out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one more excellent than a prophet. ²⁷ This is he concerning whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’ ²⁸ I say to you, no one among those born of women is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” ²⁹ And all the people having heard, even the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism of John.

² And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how the they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

⁴¹ And many came to Him and were saying, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.”

²⁶ Then the captain, having gone with the officers, was bringing them, not with force, for they were afraid of the people lest they might be stoned.

¹⁴ Leave them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

⁴ An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away.

²⁷ And answering Jesus, they said “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.

¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides, those saying, ‘Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.’ ¹⁷ Foolish and blind! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple having sanctified the gold? ¹⁸ And you say, ‘Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that is upon it is bound by his oath.’ ¹⁹ Blind! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar sanctifying the gift? ²⁰ Therefore the one having sworn by the altar swears by it and by all things that are upon it. ²¹ And the one having sworn by the temple swears by it and by the One dwelling in it. ²² And the one having sworn by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the One sitting upon it. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and dill and cumin, and you have neglected the weightier things of the Law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. It behooved you to do these, and not to be leaving aside those. ²⁴ Blind guides—those straining out the gnat and swallowing the camel! ²⁵ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of greed and intemperance. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and of the dish, that their outside might become clean also.

²¹ In the same hour, He rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I fully consent to You, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for thus was it well-pleasing before You. ²² All things have been delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows who the Son is, except the Father; and who the Father is, except the Son, and those to whom the Son might resolve to reveal Him.”

⁶⁶ And when it became day, the elderhood of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their council, saying, ⁶⁷ “If You are the Christ, tell us.” And He said to them, “If I should tell you, you would not believe, ⁶⁸ and if I should ask you, you would not answer. ⁶⁹ But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and do you not know these things?

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear again? Do you wish to become His disciples also?”

¹⁸ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, suppressing the truth by unrighteousness, ¹⁹ because the known of God is manifest among them, for God has revealed it to them. ²⁰ For from the creation of the world His invisible qualities, both His eternal power and divinity, are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, for them to be without excuse. ²¹ For having known God, they glorified Him not as God, or were thankful; but they became futile in their thinking and their foolish heart was darkened. ²² Professing to be wise, they became fools,

²⁸ And as they did not see fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do things not being proper;

¹⁵ But unto this day, when Moses shall be read, a veil lies over their heart.

³ But if indeed our gospel is concealed, it is concealed to those who are perishing, ⁴ in whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so as for not to beam forth the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

¹⁰ and in every deception of wickedness unto those perishing, in return for which they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved. ¹¹ And because of this, God will send to them a working of delusion, for them to believe what is false, ¹² in order that all those not having believed the truth but having delighted in unrighteousness should be judged.
