²⁸ And so it was, that when Jesus had ended these discourses, the multitudes were astonished at his teaching: ²⁹ for he taught them as one having authority; and not as their Scribes and Pharisees.

² And behold, a leper came and worshipped him, and said: My Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ³ And Jesus stretched forth his hand, touched him, and said: I will: be thou clean.

²¹ And another of his disciples said to him: My Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. ²² But Jesus said to him: Follow thou me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

²⁹ And they cried out, and said: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of God. Hast thou come hither before the time to torment us?

¹⁰ For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, that he may prepare the way before thee.

²² Then they brought to him a demoniac that was dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind man both talked and saw. ²³ And all the multitude were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?

⁴³ And when an unclean spirit goeth out of a man, it wandereth in places where is no water, and seeketh comfort and findeth it not.

²³ And when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone.

³³ And they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God!

²⁸ Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

³¹ So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.

⁵ And while he was yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and there was a voice from the cloud which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I have pleasure; hear ye him.

¹⁴ And when they came to the multitude, a man approached him, and bowed himself on his knees,

²⁷ Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive? ²⁸ Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every man that relinquisheth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. ³⁰ But there are many first who shall be last, and last who shall be first.

³¹ Which of these two performed the pleasure of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you That publicans and harlots go before you into the kingdom of God. ³² For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and harlots believed him: and ye, after ye had seen it, did not even then repent and believe in him.

² and said to them: The Scribes and Pharisees sit in the seat of Moses. ³ Whatever therefore they tell you to observe, that observe and do. But according to their deeds, practise ye not: for they say, and do not.

¹⁶ Woe to you, ye blind guides: for ye say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold that is in the temple, he is holden. ¹⁷ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whoever shall swear by the oblation upon it, he is holden. ¹⁹ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation? ²⁰ He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it. ²¹ And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it. ²² And he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by throne of God, and by him that sitteth on it. ²³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.

²⁴ And the Son of man goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man, by whom the Son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man, if he had not been born.

³¹ Then said Jesus to them: Ye will all be offended in me this night; for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of his flock will be dispersed.

⁵³ Supposest thou that I cannot ask of my Father, and he now assign me more than twelve legions of angels?

¹⁵ And they, having received the money, did as they were instructed. And this story is current among the Jews to this day.

⁵ And there went out to him all the region of Judaea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and he baptized them in the river Jordan, while they confessed their sins.

¹⁶ And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And immediately they left their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And as he passed on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in a ship, and mending their nets. ²⁰ And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him. ²¹ And when they entered Capernaum, he immediately taught on the sabbath in their synagogues.

²³ And in their synagogue was a man, in whom was an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said: Shut thy mouth, and come out of him.

³¹ And he came, and took her hand, and raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

³⁴ And he healed many who labored under divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁹ And he preached in all their synagogues, in all Galilee, and cast out demons.

⁴⁵ And he, as he went out, began to proclaim it much, and to divulge the matter; so that Jesus could not openly go into the city, but was without, in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

¹ And Jesus again entered into Capernaum, after some days. And when they heard that he was in the house,

¹ And Jesus again entered into Capernaum, after some days. And when they heard that he was in the house, ² many were assembled, so that the house could not contain them, not even before the door. And he held discourse with them.

¹³ And he went again to the sea; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

² And they watched him, that if he should heal on the sabbath, they might accuse him.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea. And many people joined him from Galilee, and from Judaea,

¹¹ And they who were afflicted with unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down and cried out, and said: Thou art the Son of God. ¹² And he charged them much, not to make him known.

¹² And he charged them much, not to make him known.

¹⁶ And to Simon he gave the name of Cephas. ¹⁷ And to James the son of Zebedee and to John the brother of James, he gave the name of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder. ¹⁸ And he chose also Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Cease; be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

² And as he went out of the ship, there met him from the place of sepulchres a man in whom was an unclean spirit.

⁷ and cried with a loud voice, and said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

²³ and besought him much, and said to him: My daughter is very sick; but come and lay thy hand on her, and she will be cured, and will live.

²⁹ And immediately the fountain of her blood dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her plague.

³⁷ And he suffered no one to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.

⁴¹ And he took the maid's hand, and said to her: Maiden, arise.

⁴³ And he enjoined it upon them much, that no one should know of it. And he directed, that they should give her to eat.

² And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!

³⁴ And Jesus disembarked and saw great multitudes: and he compassionated them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

⁴⁶ And when he had dismissed them, he went to a mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when evening came, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them straining themselves in rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them walking on the waters; and he was disposed to pass by them.

³ For all the Jews and the Pharisees, unless they carefully wash their hands do not eat; because they hold fast the tradition of the Elders. ⁴ And coming from the market-place, except they baptize, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have received to observe, such as the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of couches. ⁵ And the Scribes and Pharisees asked him: Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed? ⁶ And he said to them: Well did Isaiah the prophet prophecy concerning you, ye hypocrites; as it is written: This people honoreth me with its lips, but their heart is very far from me. ⁷ And in vain do they give me reverence, while teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. ⁸ For ye have forsaken the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men, the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and many things like these. ⁹ He said also to them: Full well do ye spurn the precept of God, that ye may establish your tradition! ¹⁰ For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and whoever shall revile his father or his mother, shall surely die. ¹¹ But ye say: If a man say to his father or to his mother, Be it my oblation, whatever thou mayest gain from me: ¹² then ye suffer him not to do any thing for his father or his mother. ¹³ And ye reject the word of God, on account of the tradition which ye hand down. And many things like these, ye do.

²⁵ For immediately a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him; and she came, and fell before his feet,

³⁰ And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on a bed, and the demon gone from her.

³⁶ And he charged them to tell no man of it: and the more he charged them, the more they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they admired exceedingly, and said: He doeth every thing excellently: he maketh the deaf to hear, and the speechless to talk.

² And after six days, Jesus took Cephas and James and John, and led them to a high mountain, apart; and was transformed before them.

⁷ And there was a cloud, and it overshadowed them. And a voice issued from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son. Hear ye him.

²⁰ And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed.

²² And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me. ²³ Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth.

²⁵ And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter him. ²⁶ And the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead.

¹ And he arose from there, and came to the border of Judaea, on the other side the Jordan. And great multitudes came to him there; and again he instructed them, as he was accustomed.

¹⁷ And as he walked in the way, one ran and fell upon his knees, and asked him, and said: Good Teacher, what must I do, to inherit eternal life?

²⁴ And the disciples wondered at the remark. And Jesus, replied again, and said to them: My children, how hard it is, for those who trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁸ And Cephas began to say: Lo, we have left every thing, and have cleaved to thee. ²⁹ Jesus answered and said: Verily I say to you, There is no man that leaveth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, for my sake, and for the sake of my tidings,

²⁹ Jesus answered and said: Verily I say to you, There is no man that leaveth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, for my sake, and for the sake of my tidings, ³⁰ who will not receive a hundredfold, here in the present time, houses, and brothers and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands, with persecution; and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹ But many are first, who will be last; and last, who will be first. ³² And as they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them: and they were amazed, and walked after him with trembling. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what was to befall him.

³⁵ And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, and said to him: Teacher, we desire that thou wouldst do for us all that we ask.

³³ And he took with him Cephas and James and John, and began to be gloomy and distressed.

⁴¹ who, when he was in Galilee adhered to him, and ministered to him; and many other women, who had come up with him to Jerusalem.

² as they delivered them to us, who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of the word; ³ it seemed proper for me also, as I had examined them all accurately, to write out the whole, methodically, for thee, excellent Theophilus:

¹⁵ For he will be great before the Lord; and he will not drink wine nor strong drink, and will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb. ¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel will he convert to the Lord their God. ¹⁷ And he will go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah the prophet, and will turn the heart of the fathers unto the children, and them that are disobedient to the knowledge of the righteous, and will prepare a perfect people for the Lord.

³⁵ The angel replied, and said to her: The Holy Spirit will come, and the power of the Most High will overshadow thee; therefore he that is born of thee is holy, and will be called the Son of God.

⁷⁰ as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who were of old,

⁷⁶ And thou, child, wilt be called a prophet of the Most High; for thou wilt go before the face of the Lord, to prepare his way, ⁷⁷ that he may give the knowledge of life to his people, and forgiveness of their sins,

¹⁰ And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold I announce to you great joy, which will be to all the world. ¹¹ For there is born to you this day a deliverer, who is the Lord Messiah, in the city of David

⁴⁹ He said to them: Why did ye seek me? Do ye not know, that it behooveth me to be in my Father's house?

³ And he came into all the region about the Jordan, proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God.

⁴ As it is written in the book of the discourses of Isaiah the prophet, who said: The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; and make straight paths in the plain for our God. ⁵ All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth.

⁵ All valleys shall be filled up, and all mountains and hills be lowered; and the hillock shall be levelled down, and the rough place become smooth. ⁶ And all flesh shall see the life which is of God.

⁶ And all flesh shall see the life which is of God. ⁷ And he said to the multitudes, who came to him to be baptized: Ye progeny of vipers, who hath instructed you to flee from the future wrath? ⁸ Bring forth, therefore, fruits comporting, with repentance. And begin not to say in yourselves: We have Abraham for our father; for I say to you, that God can, from these stones, raise up sons to Abraham. ⁹ And lo, the ax is put to the root of trees. Every tree therefore that beareth not good fruits, is hewed down, and falleth into the fire. ¹⁰ And the multitudes asked him, and said: What, then, shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them: Whoever hath two tunics, let him give one to him that hath none; and whoever hath food, let him do the same. ¹² And publicans also came to be baptized. And they said to him: Teacher, what shall we do? ¹³ And he said to them: Exact no more than ye are required to exact. ¹⁴ And those serving in war inquired of him, and said: And what shall we do? He said to them: Be insolent to no one, and oppress no one, and let your pay satisfy you. ¹⁵ And while the people were thinking of John, and all pondered in their heart, whether he were the Messiah; ¹⁶ John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

¹⁶ John answered and said to them: Behold, I baptize you with water; but after me cometh one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison. ²¹ And it occurred, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also was baptized. And as he prayed, the heavens were opened; ²² and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.

²² and the Holy Spirit descended upon him, in the bodily likeness of a dove: and there was a voice from heaven, which said: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I have delight.

¹ And Jesus, being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And the Spirit led him into the wilderness, ² forty days, to be tempted by the Calumniator. And during those days, he ate nothing; and when he had completed them, he was at last hungry. ³ And the Calumniator said to him: If thou art the Son of God, command this stone to become bread. ⁴ Jesus replied, and said to him: It is written, Not by bread only, doth man live; but by every thing of God. ⁵ And Satan conducted him to a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the land, in a little time. ⁶ And the Calumniator said to him: To thee will I give all this dominion, and the glory of it, which is committed to me, and to whom I please, I give it: ⁷ if therefore thou wilt worship before me, the whole shall be thine. ⁸ But Jesus replied, and said to him: It is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. ⁹ And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down hence: ¹⁰ for it is written, He will give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: ¹¹ and in their arms will they sustain thee, lest thou strike thy foot against a stone. ¹² And Jesus replied and said to him: It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ¹³ And when the Calumniator had finished all his temptations, he departed from him for a time.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he went, as he was accustomed, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and rose up to read. ¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of Isaiah the prophet. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written:

¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of Isaiah the prophet. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written: ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; and therefore he hath anointed me to proclaim tidings to the poor; and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; and to send away the contrite with forgiveness of their sins;

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; and therefore he hath anointed me to proclaim tidings to the poor; and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; and to send away the contrite with forgiveness of their sins; ¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. ²⁰ And he rolled up the book, and gave it to the servitor, and went and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing upon him. ²¹ And he began to say to them: This day, is this scripture which ye have heard, fulfilled.

³¹ And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee; and taught them on sabbath days. ³² And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was authoritative.

³² And they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was authoritative. ³³ And there was in the synagogue a man, in whom was an unclean demon: and he cried out, with a loud voice, ³⁴ and said: Let me alone: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarean? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God.

³⁴ and said: Let me alone: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarean? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said: Shut thy mouth; and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst, and came out of him, having not harmed him at all.

³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said: Shut thy mouth; and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst, and came out of him, having not harmed him at all. ³⁶ And wonder seized every one, and they talked together, and said: What a word is this! For, with authority and efficiency, he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out

³⁶ And wonder seized every one, and they talked together, and said: What a word is this! For, with authority and efficiency, he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out ³⁷ And his fame went out into all the surrounding region.

³⁷ And his fame went out into all the surrounding region. ³⁸ And when Jesus went out of the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. And the mother-in-law of Simon was afflicted with a severe fever: and they besought him in her behalf. ³⁹ And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. And immediately she arose and ministered to them. ⁴⁰ And when the sun was set, all those that had sick persons, afflicted with divers diseases, brought them to him; and he laid his hand on every one of them, and healed them. ⁴¹ And demons went out of many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of God. And he rebuked them, and suffered them not to say, that they knew him to be Messiah. ⁴² And at the dawn of day, he went out and retired to a desert place. And the multitudes sought him, and went out to him, and held him fast, that he might not retire from them. ⁴³ And Jesus said to them: It behooveth me to announce the kingdom of God to other cities also; for therefore was I sent.

⁴³ And Jesus said to them: It behooveth me to announce the kingdom of God to other cities also; for therefore was I sent.

⁴³ And Jesus said to them: It behooveth me to announce the kingdom of God to other cities also; for therefore was I sent. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹ And it occurred, that a multitude gathered about him, to hear the word of God. And he was standing by the side of the sea of Gennesaret, ² and he saw two ships standing near the sea, and the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. ³ And one of them belonged to Simon Cephas: and Jesus entered and sat in it. And he told them to draw off a little from the shore, into the sea: and he seated himself, and taught the multitude from the ship. ⁴ And when he ceased from speaking, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and cast your net for a draught. ⁵ Simon answered, and said to him: Rabbi, all the night we have toiled, and have caught nothing: but, at thy bidding, I will cast the net. ⁶ And when they had done so, they inclosed very many fishes, so that the net was rent. ⁷ And they made signs to their associates, in the other ship, to come and help them. And when they came, they filled both the ships, so that they were near to sinking. ⁸ And when Simon Cephas saw it, he fell before the feet of Jesus, and said to him: I beseech thee, my Lord, that thou leave me, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For astonishment had seized him, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had caught: ¹⁰ and in like manner also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. But Jesus said: Fear thou not; henceforth thou shalt catch men unto life.

¹⁰ and in like manner also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. But Jesus said: Fear thou not; henceforth thou shalt catch men unto life. ¹¹ And they brought the vessels to the land: and they left all and followed him.

¹¹ And they brought the vessels to the land: and they left all and followed him. ¹² And when Jesus was in one of the cities, a man came all full of leprosy and seeing Jesus, he fell upon his face, and besought him, and said to him: My Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me. ¹³ And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him: I will it; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy went from him. ¹⁴ And he charged him: Speak to no one; but go and show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy purification, as Moses hath commanded, for a testimony to them.

¹⁴ And he charged him: Speak to no one; but go and show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy purification, as Moses hath commanded, for a testimony to them. ¹⁵ And his fame spread abroad still more: and much people assembled to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases. ¹⁶ And he retired into a desert, and prayed.

¹⁶ And he retired into a desert, and prayed. ¹⁷ And it occurred, on one of the days when Jesus was teaching, that Pharisees and Doctors of the law were sitting by, who had come from all the villages of Galilee and of Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

¹² And in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to God.

¹⁴ Simon whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: ⁷ therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will be healed.

¹² And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw a procession bearing a dead man, the only son of his mother, and she a widow; and a great company of the people of the city were with her. ¹³ And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.

²⁷ For this is he, of whom it is written: Behold I send my messenger before thy face, to prepare thy way before thee. ²⁸ I say to you, that no prophet, among those born of women, was greater than John the Baptizer: and yet the little one in the kingdom of God, is greater than he.

¹ And after these things Jesus travelled about the cities and the villages, and proclaimed and announced the kingdom of God. And with him were his twelve disciples, ² and those women who were healed of infirmities and of unclean spirits, Mary called Magdalena, out of whom went seven demons, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their property.

²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said, with a loud voice: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of the exalted God. I entreat of thee, torment me not.

³⁷ And the whole throng of the Gadarenes requested him, that he would depart from them: for great fear had seized them. And Jesus embarked in a ship, and retired from among them.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished: and he charged them to tell no one what had occurred.

¹ And Jesus called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal them.

³⁵ And there was a voice from the cloud, which said: This is my beloved Son; hear ye him.

³⁹ and a spirit cometh upon him, and he suddenly crieth out, and gnasheth his teeth, and foameth; and he hardly leaveth him, when he hath crushed him.

⁴² And while he was bringing him, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the lad, and delivered him to his father.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of heaven have coverts; but the Son of man hath not where he may lay his head.

⁹ And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.

¹¹ Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you.

¹⁵ And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell.

¹⁷ And the seventy whom he sent forth, returned with great joy, and say to him: Our Lord, even the demons were subject to us, in thy name. ¹⁸ And he said to them: I saw Satan fall, like the lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents, and scorpions, and on all the power of the adversary: and nothing shall harm you. ²⁰ Yet rejoice not in this, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice, that your names are written in heaven.

²² But if a stronger than he come and overpower him, he taketh away all his arms on which he relied, and divideth the spoil of him.

¹⁰ And when Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath,

²⁶ He that cometh to me, and hateth not his father and his mother, and his brothers and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and his own life also, cannot become a disciple to me.

³³ So every one of you who doth not give up all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.

¹² And when he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten leprous men; and they stood at a distance, ¹³ and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us. ¹⁴ And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed.

¹⁴ And when he had looked upon them, he said to them: Go, show yourselves to the priests. And as they were going, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation? ¹⁹ And he said to him; Arise, and go: thy faith hath given thee life.

²⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Lo, we have left every thing, and come after thee. ²⁹ Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you: There is no man, who hath left houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ that shall not receive manifold in the present time, and, in the coming world, eternal life. ³¹ And Jesus took his twelve, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things written in the prophets, concerning the Son of man, will be fulfilled.

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your enemies will be unable to withstand.

³⁹ And he went out, and proceeded, as was his custom, to the mount of the place of Olives; and his disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ And when he arrived at the place, he said to them: Pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And he retired from them, about a stone's throw; and kneeled down, and prayed,

⁴¹ And he retired from them, about a stone's throw; and kneeled down, and prayed, ⁴² and said: Father, if it please thee, let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, but thine, be done. ⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, who strengthened him. ⁴⁴ And as he was in fear, he prayed earnestly; and his sweat was like drops of blood; and it fell on the ground. ⁴⁵ And he arose from his prayer, and came to his disciples: and he found them sleeping, from sorrow. ⁴⁶ And he said to them: Why sleep ye? Arise, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

¹⁹ He said to them: What things? They say to him: In regard to Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and mighty in discourse and in action, before God, and before all the people.

⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.

¹⁴ And the: Word became flesh, and tabernacled with us: and we saw his glory, a glory as of the only begotten from the Father, that he was full of grace and truth. ¹⁵ John testified of him, and cried, and said: This is he, of whom I said, That he cometh after me, and is before me; for he was prior to me.

¹⁹ And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites, to ask him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed I am not the Messiah. ²¹ And they asked him again: Who then? Art thou Elijah? And he said: I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he said, No. ²² And they said to him: Who art thou? that we may give answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? ²³ He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make smooth the way of the Lord; as said the prophet Isaiah. ²⁴ And they who were sent, were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him: Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor a prophet? ²⁶ John answered, and said to them; I baptize with water; but among you standeth one, whom ye do not know. ²⁷ He it is that cometh after me, and was before me, whose shoe-strings I am not worthy to untie.

²⁷ He it is that cometh after me, and was before me, whose shoe-strings I am not worthy to untie. ²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, where John was baptizing.

²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, where John was baptizing. ²⁹ The day after, John saw Jesus coming towards him, and said: Behold, the Lamb of God, that beareth the sin of the world. ³⁰ This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who is before me, for he was prior to me. ³¹ And I knew him not; but that he might be known to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. ³² And John testified, and said: I saw the Spirit descend from heaven, as a dove, and rest upon him. ³³ And I did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me- On whom thou seest the Spirit descend, and rest upon him, he baptizeth with the Holy Spirit. ³⁴ And I saw; and I testify, that this is the Son of God.

³⁴ And I saw; and I testify, that this is the Son of God.

⁴⁰ And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon. ⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah. ⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas.

⁴⁹ Nathaniel answered, and said to him: Rabbi; thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, should not perish, but should have life eternal.

²² After these things, came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he abode with them, and baptized. ²³ And John also was baptizing in 'non, which is near to Salim, because there were many waters there: and the people came, and were baptized.

²³ And John also was baptizing in 'non, which is near to Salim, because there were many waters there: and the people came, and were baptized. ²⁴ For John had not yet fallen into prison.

²⁶ And they came to John, and said to him: Our Rabbi, he who was with thee beyond Jordan, and of whom thou gavest testimony, lo, he also baptizeth; and many go after him.

²⁸ Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go before him.

²⁸ Ye are witnesses for me, that I said: I am not the Messiah, but am sent to go before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full.

²⁹ He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom: and the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and listeneth to him, rejoiceth with great joy on account of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy, therefore, lo, it is full. ³⁰ To him must be increase, and to me decrease.

³⁰ To him must be increase, and to me decrease. ³¹ For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all;

³¹ For he that cometh from above, is above all; and he that is from the earth, is of the earth, and talketh of the earth. He that cometh from heaven, is above all; ³² and what he hath seen and heard, he testifieth; and his testimony, no one receiveth. ³³ But he that receiveth his testimony, hath set his seal, that God is true. ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for God hath not given the Spirit by measure to him. ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given every thing into his hands. ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son, hath life eternal; but he who obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life. but the wrath of God will abide upon him.

³⁴ Jesus said to them: My food is to do the pleasure of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him: Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus spake to him, and went away. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him, and informed him and said to him: Thy son liveth. ⁵² And he asked them, at what time he recovered. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ And his father knew, that it was at the hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his house.

²⁰ For the Father loveth his Son, and showeth him every thing he doeth: and greater works than these, will he show him, that ye may wonder. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and vivifieth them; so also the Son vivifieth whom he pleaseth. ²² For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath given all judgment to the Son: ²³ that every man may honor the Son, as he honoreth the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not the Father that sent him.

³⁷ And the Father who sent me, he testifieth of me. Ye have not at any time heard his voice, nor have ye seen his visage.

² And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:

¹⁵ And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.

⁶⁹ And we believe, and know, that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

⁴⁶ The constables say to them: Never did a man speak, as this man speaketh.

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, in which no one can work.

³ And his two sisters sent to Jesus, and said: Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick.

⁴⁸ And if we thus let him alone, all the people will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away our place and our nation.

¹⁹ But the Pharisees said, one to another: Do ye see, that ye are gaining nothing? For, lo, the whole world is going after him.

²² Philip came and told Andrew; and Andrew and Philip told Jesus.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name! And a voice was heard from heaven: I have glorified it; and I will glorify it again. ²⁹ And the multitude standing by, heard it; and they said: There was thunder. But others said: An angel spoke with him. ³⁰ Jesus answered, and said to them: This voice was not for my sake, but for yours.

³ Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you.

²⁸ I proceeded forth from before the Father, and came into the world; and again I leave the world, and go to the Father.

⁴ I have glorified thee on the earth; the work which thou gavest me to do, I have finished.

⁸ For, the words thou gavest to me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known certainly, that I came from thy presence; and they have believed that thou didst send me.

³¹ But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that when ye believe, ye may have life eternal by his name.

¹ THE former book have I written, O Theophilus concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Messiah began to do and teach, ² until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.

⁵ For John baptized with water; but ye will be baptized with the Holy Spirit after not many days.

¹³ And when they had entered, they went to an upper chamber; where were Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, and Philip, and Thomas, and Matthew, and Bartholomew, and James the son of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the son of James.

⁴ And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in diverse languages, as the Spirit gave them to speak.

¹⁷ It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thy pious one to see corruption.

³⁶ Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus whom ye crucified, to be Lord and Messiah. ³⁷ And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do? ³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off whom God will call. ⁴⁰ And in many other words he testified to them, and entreated of them, saying: Live ye from this perverse generation. ⁴¹ And some of them readily received his discourse, and believed, and were baptized. And there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls.

¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and just One, and demanded that a murderer should be released to you.

²⁷ For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city,

¹⁰ And they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit that spoke by him.

⁶⁰ And when he had kneeled down, he cried with a loud voice, and said: Our Lord, establish not this sin against them. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

²¹ And all they that heard him were amazed; and they said: Is not this he, who persecuted all them that call on this name in Jerusalem? And lo, for this very thing also, was he sent hither, that he might bind and carry them to the chief priests. ²² But Saul was the more strengthened; and he confounded those Jews who dwelt at Damascus, while be demonstrated that this is the Messiah.

⁴¹ And he reached to her his hand, and raised her up: and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her to them alive.

³⁷ and ye also know the word, which was in all Judaea, which commenced from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached,

⁴⁵ And the circumcised brethren who came with him, were amazed and astonished, that the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the Gentiles also.

¹⁵ And when I there commenced speaking, the Holy Spirit overshadowed them, as it did us from the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of our Lord, when he said: John baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

¹⁴ And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered the synagogue, on the sabbath day, and sat down. ¹⁵ And after the law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people. ¹⁶ And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye. ¹⁷ The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it. ¹⁸ And he fed them in the wilderness forty years. ¹⁹ And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance. ²⁰ And for four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet. ²¹ And then they asked for themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years. ²² And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. ²³ From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer. ²⁴ And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁴ And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel. ²⁵ And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings.

²⁵ And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings.

²⁵ And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings. ²⁶ Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life sent. ²⁷ For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written. ²⁸ And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre. ³⁰ But God raised him from the dead. ³¹ And he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people. ³² And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our fathers, ³³ lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ And God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David. ³⁵ And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption. ³⁶ For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. ³⁷ But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption. ³⁸ Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ And every one that believeth in this man, is made just from all things, from which ye could not be made just by the law of Moses. ⁴⁰ Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is written in the prophets: ⁴¹ Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though a man relate it to you. ⁴² And when they had gone from them, they besought them to speak the same things to them the next sabbath day. ⁴³ And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and likewise proselytes who feared God. And they conversed with them, and persuaded them to adhere to the grace of God. ⁴⁴ And the next sabbath, the whole city assembled to hear the word of God.

⁴⁴ And the next sabbath, the whole city assembled to hear the word of God. ⁴⁵ And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed. ⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal. ⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord was talked of in all that region. ⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. ⁵¹ And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium. ⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁶ And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed. ¹⁷ And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.

¹⁷ And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life. ¹⁸ And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.

² And Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and during three sabbaths he discoursed with them from the scriptures;

⁴ And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and Gentiles.

³ He said to them: Into what then were ye baptized? They say: Into the baptism of John. ⁴ Paul said to them: John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, while he told them to believe in him who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus the Messiah.

⁴ Paul said to them: John baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, while he told them to believe in him who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus the Messiah. ⁵ And when they heard these things, they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah. ⁶ And Paul laid his hand on them; and the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in various tongues, and prophesied.

¹⁸ And many of them that believed, came and narrated their faults, and confessed what they had done.

²¹ while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

²⁵ And now, I know that ye will see my face no more, all of you among whom I have travelled and preached the kingdom of God.

¹⁶ And now, why delayest thou? Arise, be baptized, and be cleansed from thy sins, while thou invokest his name.

⁵ For we have found this man to be an assassin, and a mover of sedition among all Jews in the whole land: for he is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazareans.

²³ And they appointed him a day; and many assembled, and came to him at his lodgings. And he explained to them respecting the kingdom of God, testifying and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

¹ PAUL, a servant of Jesus the Messiah, called and sent; and separated unto the gospel of God, ² (which he had before promised, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures, ³ concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David, ⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

³ Inasmuch as the law was impotent, by means of the weakness of the flesh, God sent his Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin; that He might, in his flesh, condemn sin;

³² And, if he spared not his Son, but gave him up for us all, how shall he not give us all things, with him?

⁴ For every thing written of old, was written for our instruction; that we, by patience and by the consolation of the scriptures, might possess hope.

²⁶ but is at this time revealed, by means of the scriptures of the prophets; and by the command of the eternal God, is made known to all the Gentiles, for the obedience of faith;)

⁵ Or have we not authority to carry about with us a sister as a wife; just as the other legates, and the brothers of our Lord, and as Cephas?

¹¹ All these things which befell them, were for an example to us; and they are written for our instruction, on whom the end of the world hath come.

¹³ For all of us, likewise, by one Spirit, have been baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether slaves or free; and all of us have drinked in one Spirit.

² But we have renounced the concealments of dishonor, and we walk not in craftiness, nor do we treat the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth, we exhibit ourselves to all the consciences of men before God.

¹⁶ And therefore, we know no person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we know him no more.

⁴ But when the consummation of the time arrived, God sent forth his Son; and he was from a woman, and was under the law;

¹⁰ in the dispensation of the fullness of times; that all things might again be made new in the Messiah, things in heaven and things on earth.

¹⁷ And he came, and proclaimed peace to you afar off, and to those near:

¹⁴ And I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,

¹⁸ And pray ye, with all prayers and supplications, in spirit, at all times: and in prayer be watchful, at all seasons, praying constantly, and interceding for all the saints:

⁵ And think ye so in yourselves, as Jesus the Messiah also thought;

⁸ And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah,

¹³ and hath rescued us from the dominion of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son;

¹⁶ and truly great, is this mystery of righteousness, which was revealed in the flesh, and justified in the spirit, and seen by angels, and proclaimed among the Gentiles, and believed on in the world, and received up into glory.

²⁵ that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth, ²⁶ and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.

¹⁰ For many are unsubmissive, and their discourses vain; and they mislead the minds of people, especially such as are of the circumcision.

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver:

¹ IN many ways, and many forms, God anciently conversed with our fathers, by the prophets: ² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; ³ who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.

¹² For the word of God is living, and all-efficient, and sharper than a two-edged sword, and entereth even to the severance of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow and the bones, and judgeth the thoughts and reasonings of the heart: ¹³ neither is there any creature, which is concealed from before him; but every thing is naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom we are to give account.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest, who cannot sympathize with our infirmity; but one who was tempted in all respects like us, aside from sin.

⁷ Likewise, when he was clothed in flesh, he presented supplication and entreaty with intense invocation, and with tears, to him who was able to resuscitate him from death; and he was heard.

¹⁹ Thou believest that there is one God; thou dost well; the demons also believe, and tremble.

¹⁴ And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord: ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven him.

¹⁷ For, when he received from God the Father honor and glory, and, after the splendid glory of his majesty, a voice came to him thus: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; ¹⁸ we also heard this identical voice from heaven, which came to him while we were with him in the holy mount.

¹ WE announce to you that, which was from the beginning, which we have heard, and have seen with our eyes, looked upon, and handled with our hands, that which is the word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen and do testify and announce to you, the life which is eternal; which was with the Father, and was revealed to us. ³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known to you also, that ye may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus the Messiah.

⁸ And if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all our iniquity. ¹⁰ If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not with us.

¹¹ And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us life eternal, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one that taketh hold of the Son, taketh hold of life; and every one that taketh not hold of the Son, hath not life.

⁷ And to the angel of the church which is at Philadelphia, write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, who openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth;
