1 YAH SHUA DISHONORED IN HIS FATHERLAND And he goes from there, and comes to his fatherland; and his disciples follow him.
2 And so be it, shabbath; and he begins to doctrinate in the synagogue. And many hearing him are astonished, wording, Whence has this one all these? and, What wisdom is given him that even such dynamis becomes by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter the son of Miryam and brother of Yaaqovos and Yoses and Yah Hudah and Shimon? and, Are not his sisters here with us? - and they are scandalized at him.
4 But Yah Shua words to them, A prophet is not dishonored except in his fatherland and among his own kin and in his own house.
5 - and he can do no dynamis there; except he puts his hands upon a few sick folk and cures them:
6 and he marvels because of their trustlessness. - and he goes doctrinating around the villages.

THE TWELVE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER IMPURE SPIRITS
And he calls the twelve to him and begins to apostolize them two by two; and gives them authority over impure spirits; 8 and evangelizes them to take naught for their way except only a rod - no wallet, no bread, no copper in their girdle: 9 but tie on sandals; and not endue two tunics. 10 And he words to them, Wherever you enter a house, abide there until you depart: 11 and as many as ever neither receive you nor hear you, when you depart, shake off the dust under your feet for a witness against them. Amen! I word to you, It is more tolerable in the day of judgment, for Sedom and Amorah than for that city. 12 And they go and preach for men to repent: 13 and they cast out many demons and anoint many sick with olive oil and cure them. 14
HEROD FEARS YAHN THE BAPTIZER
And sovereign Herod hears of him; - for his name is spread manifestly: and he words, Yahn the Baptizer rises from the dead and because of this dynamis energizes in him. 15 Others word, He is Eli Yah. And others word, He is a prophet. Or, As one of the prophets. 16 And Herod hears thereof, and says, He is Yahn, whom I beheaded: he rose from the dead. 17 - for Herod himself had apostolized and overpowered Yahn, and bound him in the guardhouse for sake of Herodias the woman of his brother Philippos - because he had married her. 18 - for Yahn had worded to Herod, You are not allowed to have the woman of your brother. 19 - but Herodias begrudged him and willed to slaughter him; but she could not: 20 for Herod awed Yahn, knowing he was a just and holy man; and guarded him; and he heard him and did much; and heard him with pleasure. 21
THE BIRTHDAY SUPPER OF HEROD
And so be it, an opportune day: and on his birthday Herod prepares a supper to his magistrates, chiliarchs and preeminent of Galiyl: 22 and the daughter of Herodias enters and dances; and pleases Herod and those who repose with him. And the sovereign says to the maiden, Ask of me whatever you will, and I give you. 23 - and he oaths to her, Whatever you ask of me, I give You, to the half of my sovereigndom. 24 And she goes, and says to her mother, What ask I? And she says, The head of Yahn the Baptizer. 25 And straightway she enters with diligence to the sovereign and asks, wording, I will that you give me, immediately on a platter, the head of Yahn the Baptizer. 26 And the sovereign becomes extremely sorrowful; yet for sake of his oath, and for the sakes of them who repose with him, he wills to not set her aside. 27
HEROD HAS YAHN THE BAPTIZER BEHEADED
And straightway the sovereign apostolizes a speculator and orders him to bring his head: and he goes and beheads him in the guardhouse; 28 and brings his head on a platter and gives it to the maiden: and the maiden gives it to her mother: 29 and his disciples hear thereof and come and take his carcase and place it in a tomb. 30
APOSTLES EVANGELIZE TO YAH SHUA
And the apostles gather together to Yah Shua and evangelize all to him - both as much as they do and as much as they doctrinate. 31 And he says to them, Come apart into a desolate place and rest a little. - for many come and go and they have no opportunity so much as to eat. 32 And they depart to a desolate place by sailer privately; 33 and the multitude sees them go, and many know him, and crush together there from all cities, and precede them and come together to him. 34
YAH SHUA FEEDS FIVE THOUSAND
And Yah Shua comes and sees vast multitudes; and has a sympathetic spleen toward them because they are as sheep not having a shepherd: and he begins to doctrinate them much. 35 And already the hour being much and his disciples come to him, and word, This is a desolate place, and already the hour is much: 36 release them to go to the surrounding fields and to the villages to market bread for themselves; for they have naught to eat. 37 He answers them, saying, You give them to eat. And they word to him, Go we and market two hundred denarion of bread and give them to eat? 38 He words to them, How many breads have you? Go and see! And knowing, they word, Five; and two fishes. 39 And he orders them all to recline symposium by symposium on the green herbage: 40 and they repose row by row - by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And he takes the five breads and the two fishes, looks to the heavens and eulogizes, and breaks the breads and gives them to his disciples to set by them; and he divides the two fishes among them all: 42 and they all eat and are fed: 43 and they take twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes: 44 and they who eat of the breads are about five thousand men. 45
YAH SHUA WALKS ON THE SEA
And straightway he compels his disciples to embark into the sailer and to precede across to Beth Sayad, until he releases the multitudes: 46 and he bids them farewell and departs to a mountain to pray: 47 and being evening, and the sailer is midst the sea and he is alone on the land: 48 and he sees them tortured in rowing; for the wind is contrary to them: and at about the fourth guard of the night, he comes to them, walking upon the sea, and wills to pass by them: 49 and they see him walking on the sea and think it is a phantasm, and they scream: 50 for they all see him and are troubled. And straightway he speaks with them, and words to them, Courage! I AM! Awe not! 51 - and he ascends to them into the sailer; and the wind relaxes: and they are very superabundantly astounded in themselves and marvel: 52 for they comprehended not about the breads: for their heart is petrified. 53
YAH SHUA SAVES AT KINNORETH
And they pass over and come to the land of Kinneroth, and moore there: 54 and as they come from the sailer straightway they know him; 55 and run all around that whole region all around, and begin to carry the ill around in pads to wherever they hear he is: 56 and wherever he enters - villages or cities or fields they place the frail in the markets and beseech him if only to touch the edge of his garment: and as many as touch him are ever saved.
