¹⁵ Now, if ever your brother should be sinning, go and expose him between you and him alone. If ever he should be hearing you, you gain your brother."

¹⁷ Let him who is on the housetop not descend to take away the things out of his house.

⁵⁰ for they all perceive Him and were disturbed. Yet straightway He speaks with them and is saying to them, "Courage! It is I! Do not fear."

⁹ And He said to them, "Ideally are you repudiating the precept of God, that you should be keeping your tradition." ¹⁰ For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, He who is saying aught that is evil of father or mother, let him decease in death." ¹¹ Yet you are saying, 'If a man should be saying to father or mother, "A corban (which is an approach present) is whatsoever you may be benefitted by me,'" ¹² no longer are you letting him do anything for his father or his mother,

²⁸ he also receives Him, clasping Him in his arms. And he blesses God, and said, ²⁹ Now art Thou dismissing Thy slave, O Owner, According to Thy declaration, in peace, ³⁰ For my eyes perceived Thy Salvation,

⁸ Now perceiving it, Simon Peter prostrates before Jesus' knees, saying, "Come away from me, for a man, a sinner am I, Lord!"

²⁰ And rising, he came to his father. "Now, at his being still far away, his father perceived him and has compassion, and running, falls on his neck and fondly kisses him."

³¹ In that day, he who shall be on the housetop and his gear in his house, let him not be descending to pick it up. And let the one in the field likewise not turn back to that behind him."

³⁴ Now Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they are not aware what they are doing.Now dividing His garments, they cast the lot."

¹¹ And these declarations appear in their sight as if nonsense, and they disbelieved them."

³⁴ who said that "Really roused was the Lord, and was seen by Simon!"

³⁷ Yet, being dismayed and becoming affrighted, they supposed they are beholding a spirit." ³⁸ And He said to then, "Why are you disturbed? And wherefore are reasonings coming up in your hearts? ³⁹ Perceive My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and perceive, for a spirit has not flesh and bones according as you behold Me having."

⁴¹ Now, at their still disbelieving from joy, and marveling, He said to them, "Have you any food in this place?

³⁴ A new precept am I giving to you, that you be loving one another; according as I love you, that you also be loving one another." ³⁵ By this all shall be knowing that you are My disciples, if you should be having love for one another."

² In My Father's house are many abodes; yet if not I would have told you, for I am going to make ready a place for you." ³ And if I should be going and making ready a place for you, I am coming again and I will be taking you along to Myself, that where I am, you also may be."

¹⁶ Not you choose Me, but I choose you, and I appoint you, that you may be going away and be bringing forth much fruit, and your fruit may be remaining, that anything whichsoever you should be requesting the Father in My name, He will be giving it to you."

²¹ A woman, whenever she may be bringing forth, is having sorrow, seeing that her hour came; yet whenever she should be bearing the little child, no longer is she remembering the affliction, because of the joy that a human being was born into the world." ²² You then, also, now, indeed, will be having sorrow, yet I shall be seeing you again, and your heart shall be rejoicing, and your joy no one is taking away from you."

²⁴ Father, those whom Thou hast given Me, I will that, where I am, they also may be with Me, that they may be beholding My glory which Thou has given Me, for Thou lovest Me before the disruption of the world."

¹¹ Jesus answered him, "No authority have you against Me in anything, except it were given to you from above. Therefore he who is giving Me up to you has the greater sin."

²⁷ Thereafter He is saying to Thomas, "Bring you finger here and perceive My hands, and bring your hand and thrust it into My side, and do not become unbelieving, but believing."

²³ This One, given up in the specific counsel and foreknowledge of God, you, gibbeting by the hand of the lawless, assassinate, ²⁴ Whom God raises, loosing the pangs of death, forasmuch as it was not possible for Him to be held by it."

²⁴ Now those who hear, with one accord lift up their voice to God and say, O Owner, Thou Who makest heaven and earth and the sea and all that is in them, ²⁵ Who through holy spirit, by the mouth of our father, Thy boy David, art saying, 'Why are the nations perturbed? And why do the peoples mumble empty phrases? ²⁶ Standing by are the kings of the land, And the chancellors gathered in the same place, Against the Lord and against His Christ.'" ²⁷ For of a truth, in this city were gathered against Thy holy Boy Jesus, Whom Thou dost anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the nations and the peoples of Israel, ²⁸ to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel designates beforehand to occur.

⁵ And, pleased by the word spoken before the entire multitude, they choose Stephen, a man full of faith and holy spirit, and Philip and Prochoros and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicholas, a proselyte of Antioch,

⁹ And the patriarchs, being jealous of Joseph, gave him up into Egypt. And God was with him, ¹⁰ and extricates him out of all his afflictions, and gives him favor and wisdom in front of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and constitutes him governor over Egypt and over his whole house." ¹¹ Now a famine came on the whole of Egypt and Canaan, and the affliction was great, and our fathers found no provender." ¹² Now Jacob, hearing that there are stores of grain in Egypt, delegates our fathers first." ¹³ And in the second time Joseph is made re-known to his brethren, and Joseph's race became apparent to Pharaoh."

¹³ And in the second time Joseph is made re-known to his brethren, and Joseph's race became apparent to Pharaoh." ¹⁴ Now Joseph, dispatching them, calls for Jacob, his father, and the entire relationship among seventy-five souls."

¹⁴ Now Joseph, dispatching them, calls for Jacob, his father, and the entire relationship among seventy-five souls." ¹⁵ And Jacob descended into Egypt, and he deceases, he and our fathers,

³⁵ This Moses, whom they disown, saying, 'Who constitutes you a chief and a justice over us?' this one has God commissioned to be a chief as well as a redeemer, a justice, with the hand of the messenger who was seen by him in the thorn bush."

⁵ Yet he said, "Who art Thou, Lord?Yet He said, "I am Jesus Whom you are persecuting."

⁴¹ not to the entire people, but to witnesses who have been selected before by God, to us who ate and drank together with Him after His rising from among the dead."

³⁷ Now there came to be considerable lamentation by all, and falling on Paul's neck, they kissed him fondly,

³¹ unintelligent, perfidious, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:"

¹⁶ Consequently, then, it is not of him who is willing, nor of him who is racing, but of God, the Merciful."

⁵ is not indecent, is not self-seeking, is not incensed, is not taking account of evil,

⁷ So that, on the contrary, you are rather to deal graciously and console, lest somehow such may be swallowed up by the more excessive sorrow."

¹¹ lest we may be overreached by Satan, for we are not ignorant of the things he apprehends."

³¹ Let all bitterness and fury and anger and clamor and calumny be taken away from you with all malice, ³² yet become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, dealing graciously among yourselves, according as God also, in Christ, deals graciously with you."

² fill my joy full, that you may be mutually disposed, having mutual love, joined in soul, being disposed to one thing" ³ nothing according with faction, nor yet according with vainglory - but with humility, deeming one another superior to one's self, ⁴ not each noting that which is his own, but each that of others also." ⁵ For let this disposition be in you, which is in Christ Jesus also,

¹² Put on, then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, pitiful compassions, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, ¹³ bearing with one another and dealing graciously among yourselves, if anyone should be having a complaint against any. According as the Lord also deals graciously with you, thus also you."

¹³ and to deem them exceedingly distinguished in love, because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves."

⁴ Now if any widow has children or descendants, let them learn to be devoted to their own household first and reciprocate by paying their progenitors, for this is welcome in God's sight."

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets seek out and search out, who prophesy concerning the grace which is for you, ¹¹ searching into what or what manner of era the spirit of Christ in them made evident, when testifying beforehand to the sufferings pertaining to Christ and the glories after these." ¹² To whom it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to you they dispensed them, of which you were now informed through those who are bringing the evangel to you by holy spirit dispatched from heaven, into which messengers are yearning to peer."

⁷ Lo! He is coming with clouds, and every eye shall be seeing Him-those, also, who stab Him-and all the tribes of the land shall be grieving over Him. Yea! Amen!"

¹¹ And to each of them was given a white robe, and it was declared to them that they should be resting still a little time, till their number should be completed by their fellow slaves also, and their brethren, who are about to be killed even as they were."

²³ And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should be appearing in it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lambkin."
