⁵² Then said Jeshu to him, Return thy sword to his place; for every one of them who take swords, by swords shall die. ⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot request from my Father, and he shall appoint to me now more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ (But) how, then, would the scripture be accomplished, that thus it ought to be?

¹ AND there gathered to him Pharishee and Sophree, who had come from Urishlem; ² and they saw some of his disciples eating bread with their hands not washed; and they complained. ³ For all the Jihudoyee and Pharishee, unless they carefully wash their hands, do not eat, because they hold the tradition of the elders; ⁴ and (coming) from the market, unless they lave,[Baptize.] they eat not. And many other of those (things) there are which they have received to observe, (as) the baptisms of cups, and of measures, and of brasen utensils, and of beds. ⁵ And the Sophree and Pharishee questioned him, Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders; but, while their hands are not washed, eat bread? ⁶ But he said to them, Well prophesied concerning you Eshaia the prophet, you hypocrites; [Assumers of faces.] as it is written, This people with their lips honour me, but their heart is very far from me. ⁷ But in vain do they reverence me while they teach the teachings of the commandments of men.[Sons of man.] ⁸ For you have abandoned the commandment of God and hold the tradition of men, as the baptisms of cups and measures, and many things like these. ⁹ He said to them (moreover), You decently* suppress the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition. *[Decenter, SCHAFF. " speciously."] ¹⁰ For Musha hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and whosoever curseth father and mother, the death he shall die. ¹¹ But you say, If a man shall say to his father, or to his mother, My oblation, (be that) whatever from me thou mayest profit; ¹² and you permit him not to do any thing for his father and his mother. ¹³ But you reject the word of Aloha for the sake of the tradition which you have delivered: and many similar (observances) to these you practise. ¹⁴ And Jeshu called the whole multitude, and said to them, Hear me, all of you, and understand: ¹⁵ It is not that which is without the man, and which entereth into him, that can defile him: but that which proceedeth from him, that defileth a man. ¹⁶ He who hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁷ But when Jeshu had gone into the house (apart) from the multitude, his disciples asked him concerning that parable. ¹⁸ He said to them, How dull are even you! Know you not, that nothing from without that entereth a man can defile him, ¹⁹ because it entereth not into his heart, but into his belly, and is cast out in the purgation which all food purgeth? ²⁰ But that which proceedeth from a man, that polluteth a man. ²¹ For from within, from the heart of the sons of men, go forth evil thoughts, adultery, fornication, ²² robbery, murder, rapacity, malice, fraud, obscenity, an evil eye, blasphemy, vain-glory, folly; ²³ all these evils come from within, and they defile a man. ²⁴ FROM thence Jeshu arose and went to the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and entered into a certain house: and he was unwilling that any man should know of him, but he could not conceal. ²⁵ For immediately heard a certain woman concerning him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came, (and) fell before his feet. ²⁶ But that woman was a Gentile of Phuniki of Suria, and she prayed of him to cast out the demon from her daughter. ²⁷ But Jeshu said to her, Let the children first be filled; for it is not well to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs. ²⁸ But she answering said to him, Yes, my Lord, yet the dogs also from beneath the table eat the crumbs of the children. ²⁹ Jeshu saith to her, Go; on account of that word, the demon hath gone forth from thy daughter. ³⁰ And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on the couch, and [that] the demon had gone out from her. ³¹ Jeshu again departed from the confine of Tsur and of Tsaidon, and came to the sea of Galila, on the confine of the Ten Cities; ³² and they brought to him a blind man, a stammerer, and besought him to lay upon him the hand. ³³ And he took him aside from the crowd by himself, and put his fingers in his ears, and spat, and touched his tongue. ³⁴ And he looked up to heaven, and sighed, and said to him, Be opened: [Ethphátach.] ³⁵ and in that hour his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plainly.[Or, easily.] ³⁶ And he charged them that to no man they should tell this. But so much as he charged them, they the more proclaimed it; ³⁷ and they were exceedingly astonished, and said, He doeth every thing well; the deaf he maketh to hear, and them who spoke not, to speak.

¹ THEN Jeshu was led by the Spirit of Holiness into the desert, that he should be tempted by the Accuser. ² And he fasted forty days and forty nights; but afterward he hungered. ³ And he who tempteth approached and said, If the Son thou art of Aloha, say that these stones shall become bread. ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written that not by bread alone liveth the Son of man, but by every word which proceedeth from the mouth of Aloha. ⁵ Then the Accuser taketh him to the holy city, and caused him to stand on the pinnacle of the temple; ⁶ and said to him, If the Son thou art of Aloha, throw thyself down; for it is written that his angels he shall command concerning thee, and upon their hands they shall bear thee, that thou strike not against a stone thy foot. ⁷ Jeshu said to him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy Aloha. ⁸ Again the Accuser took him to a mountain which is exceeding high, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; ⁹ and said to him, These all to thee will I give, if thou wilt fall and worship me, ¹⁰ Then said Jeshu to him, Away with thee, Satana! for it is written that the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only thou shalt serve. ¹¹ Then the Accuser left him, and, behold, the angels drew nigh and ministered unto him. ¹² BUT when Jeshu heard that Juchanan was perfected, he removed into Galila. ¹³ And he left Natsrath, and came and dwelt in Kaphar-Nachum by the sea-side [By the hand of the sea] on the borders of Zabolon and of Naptholi. ¹⁴ That the thing might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet Eshaia, who said, ¹⁵ The land of Zabolon, the land of Naptholi, the way of the sea beyond Jurdan, Galila of the peoples. ¹⁶ The people who sat in darkness the great light hath seen; and they who have sat in the region and shadow of death, the light has arisen upon them. ¹⁷ From that time began Jeshu to preach, and to say, Repent! for the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh. ¹⁸ And while he walked by the sea of Galila, he saw two brethren, Shemun who was called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, who were casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. ²⁰ And they immediately forsook their nets and went after him. ²¹ And when he had passed thence, he saw two other brethren, Jakub-bar-Zabdai and Juchanan his brother, in a vessel with Zabdai their father, repairing their nets: and Jeshu called them; ²² and they forthwith left the vessel and their father, and went after him. ²³ And Jeshu perambulated all Galila, and taught in their synagogues, [Or assemblies, congregations] and preached the announcement of the kingdom, and healed all disease and affliction in the people. ²⁴ And his fame was heard in all Suria; and they brought to him all those who were grievously affected with various diseases, and those who were pressed down by strong pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and the paralysed; and he healed them. ²⁵ And there went after him great gatherings from Galila, and from the ten cities, and from Urishlem, and from Jehud, and from beyond Jurdan.

²⁶ But he, the Paraclete, the Spirit of Holiness, whom the Father sendeth in my name, he shall teach you every thing, and he shall remind you of all that I have said to you.

¹⁹ And avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath; for it is written, that if thou execute not judgment for thyself, I will execute thy judgment, saith Aloha.

¹³ Temptation cometh not (upon) you but what cometh on mankind; but faithful is Aloha, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you are able, but will make to your temptation a departure, that you may be able to endure.

⁴ For he is the servant of Aloha, but to thee for good: and if thou do evil, fear; for not in vain is he girded with the sword; for he is the servant of Aloha, and the dispenser of wrath to them who do evil.

⁸ For if a man hath not care of them who are his own, and especially of them who are children of the household of faith, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than those who believe not.
