I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.):" ³ The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁴ John the baptist came to be in the wilderness and is heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins. ⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins." ⁶ And John was dressed in camel's hair, and had a leather girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey." ⁷ And he heralds, saying, "Coming, after me, is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to stoop and loose." ⁸ I, indeed, baptize you in water, yet He shall be baptizing you in holy spirit." ⁹ And it occurred in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and is baptized in the Jordan by John." ¹⁰ And straightway, stepping up out of the water, He perceived the heavens rent, and the spirit, as a dove, descending and remaining on Him." ¹¹ And a voice came out of the heavens, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight." ¹² And straightway the spirit is ejecting Him into the wilderness. ¹³ And He was in the wilderness forty days, undergoing trial by Satan, and was with the wild beasts.

Repent, and believe in the evangel!" ¹⁶ And passing by, beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, purse netting with a purse net in the sea, for they were fishers." ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Hither!

And immediately, on the sabbaths, entering the synagogue, He taught." ²² And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as the scribes." ²³ And straightway there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cries out, saying, ²⁴ Ha! what is it to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarean! Did you come to destroy us? We are aware of you, who you are - the holy One of God!" ²⁵ And Jesus rebukes him, saying, "Be still, and be coming out of him!" ²⁶ And, convulsing him, the unclean spirit, shouting with a loud voice, came out of him." ²⁷ And all were awed, so as to be discussing with themselves, saying, "What is this? Some new teaching is this, for with authority the unclean spirits also is He enjoining, and they are obeying Him!" ²⁸ And straightway, the tidings of Him came out everywhere into the whole country about Galilee." ²⁹ And straightway, coming out of the synagogue, they came into the home of Simon and Andrew, with James and John." ³⁰ Now the mother-in-law of Simon was laid down with a fever.

And He did not let the demons speak, for they were aware that He is the Christ." ³⁵ And in the morning, rising very early, still in the night, He came out and came away into a desolate place, and there He prayed." ³⁶ And Simon and those with him trail Him. ³⁷ And they found Him, and are saying to Him that "All are seeking Thee." ³⁸ And He is saying to them, "We may be going elsewhere, into the next towns, that there also I should be heralding; for for this I came out." ³⁹ And He came into their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, heralding and casting out demons." ⁴⁰ And coming to Him is a leper, entreating Him, and falling on his knees and saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou shouldst be willing, Thou canst cleanse me!" ⁴¹ Now Jesus, having compassion, stretching out His hand, touches him, and is saying to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed!" ⁴² And at His saying this, straightway the leprosy came from him, and he is cleansed." ⁴³ And muttering to him, straightway He cast him out, ⁴⁴ and is saying to him, "See! you may be saying nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and bring for your cleansing what Moses bids, for a testimony to them." ⁴⁵ Now he, coming out, begins heralding it much, and to blaze abroad the word, so that, by no means can He longer be manifestly entering into a city, but was outside in desolate places.

Straight...be making the highways'of Him! ⁴ Now he, John, had his apparel of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins. Now his nourishment was locusts and wild honey. ⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem and entire Judea, and the entire country about the Jordan, ⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan river by him, confessing their sins. ⁷ Now, perceiving many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "Progeny of vipers!

² under Hannas and Caiaphas, the chief priests, came a declaration of God to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness." ³ And he came into the entire country about the Jordan, heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins, ⁴ as it is written in the scroll of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet, saying, "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'of Him!" ⁵ 'Every ravine shall be filled And every mountain and hill shall be made low, And the crooked shall be straight, And the rough places into smooth roads,..." ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" ⁷ He said, then, to the throngs going out to be baptized by him, "Progeny of vipers! Who intimates to you to be fleeing from the impending indignation? ⁸ Produce, then, fruits worthy of repentance.

Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

²⁷ This is he concerning whom it is written, 'Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.'" ²⁸ For verily I am saying to you, A greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the baptist, there is not one.

³ For this is he of whom it is declared through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
"The voice of one imploring:
'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord!

Are you Elijah?And he is saying, "I am not." ²² Are you the Prophet?And he answered, "No.They said, then, to him, "Who are you? - that we may be giving an answer to those who send us. What are you saying concerning yourself? ²³ He averred, "I am 'the voice of one imploring, "In the wilderness straighten the road of the Lord!"' according as said Isaiah the prophet." ²⁴ And those who have been dispatched were of the Pharisees. ²⁵ And they ask him and said to him, "Why, then, are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, neither Elijah, nor the Prophet? ²⁶ John answered them, saying, "I am baptizing in water. Now in the midst of you One stood of Whom you are not aware." ²⁷ He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal." ²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, the other side of the Jordan river, where John was, baptizing." ²⁹ On the morrow he is observing Jesus coming toward him, and is saying, "Lo! the Lamb of God Which is taking away the sin of the world!" ³⁰ This is He concerning Whom I said, 'After me is coming a Man Who has come to be in front of me,' for He was First, before me." ³¹ And I was not aware of Him. But that He may be manifested to Israel, therefore came I, baptizing in water." ³² And John testifies, saying that "I have gazed upon the spirit, descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remains on Him." ³³ And I was not aware of Him, but He Who sends me to be baptizing in water, That One said to me, 'On Whomever you may be perceiving the spirit descending and remaining on Him, This is He Who is baptizing in holy spirit.'" ³⁴ And I have seen and have testified that This One is the Son of God."

²⁸ You yourselves are testifying to me that I said, 'Not I am the Christ,' but that 'Dispatched am I in front of Him.'" ²⁹ He Who has the bride is the Bridegroom. Yet the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and is hearing Him, is rejoicing with joy because of the Bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, then, has been fulfilled." ³⁰ He must be growing, yet mine it is to be inferior." ³¹ He Who from above is coming is over all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and of the earth is speaking; He Who is coming out of heaven is over all." ³² What He has seen and hears, this He is testifying, and no one is getting His testimony." ³³ He who is getting His testimony sets his seal that God is true. ³⁴ For He Whom God commissions is speaking God's declarations, for God is not giving the spirit by measure." ³⁵ The Father is loving the Son and has given all into His hand." ³⁶ He who is believing in the Son has life eonian, yet he who is stubborn as to the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation of God is remaining on him."

¹ Now in those days, coming along is John the baptist, heralding in the wilderness of Judea, ² saying: "Repent! for near is the kingdom of the heavens!"

⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan river by him, confessing their sins.

¹¹ For I, indeed, am baptizing you in water for repentance, yet He Who is coming after me is stronger than I, Whose sandals I am not competent to bear. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

²³ Now John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, for there was much water there, and they came along and were baptized,

³⁷ you are aware, the declaration coming to be down the whole of Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John heralds:"

²⁴ The previous heralding of John, before His personal entrance, was the baptism of repentance to the entire people of Israel." ²⁵ Now as John completed his career, he said, 'What you are suspecting me to be, I am not. But lo! coming after me is One, the sandal of Whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'"

³ Yet he said, "Into what, then, are you baptized?Yet they say "Into John's baptism." ⁴ Yet Paul said, "John baptizes with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that in the One coming after him they should be believing, that is, in Jesus."

¹⁶ And now, why do you defer? Rise, be baptized, and bathe off your sins, invoking His name.'"

⁴⁰ If they will confess their depravity and the depravity of their fathers in their offense (when they had offended Me and, indeed, when they had gone contrary to M. ⁴¹ so that I Myself also went contrary to them and brought them into the land of their enemies), if then their uncircumcised heart should submit, and if then they should accept their depravity, ⁴² then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and also My covenant with Isaac; also My covenant with Abraham shall I remember, and the land shall I remember.

¹⁹ And Joshua said unto Achan, `My son, put, I pray you, honor on Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and declare, I pray you, to me, what you have done--hide not from me..

⁵ I am now acknowledging my sin to You, And I do not cover over my depravity. I said, I shall confess against myself my transgressions to Yahweh, And You, You lift away the depravity of my sin. {Interlude{ "

¹³ He who covers his transgressions shall not prosper, Yet he who confesses and forsakes them shall receive compassion."

⁵ Then went out to him Jerusalem and entire Judea, and the entire country about the Jordan, ⁶ and they were baptized in the Jordan river by him, confessing their sins.

²⁵ And there follow Him vast throngs from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and the other side of the Jordan.

²⁸ These things occurred in Bethany, the other side of the Jordan river, where John was, baptizing."

³⁸ Now Peter is averring to them, "Repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins, and you shall be obtaining the gratuity of the holy spirit."

¹⁸ Besides, many who have believed came, confessing and informing them of their practices."

⁸ If we should be saying that we have no sin we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us." ⁹ If we should be avowing our sins, He is faithful and just that He may be pardoning us our sins and should be cleansing us from all injustice." ¹⁰ If we should be saying that we have not sinned, we are making Him a liar, and His word is not in us."

²² These of them may you eat:the locust, all of its kind, the bald locust, all of its kind, the cricket, all of its kind, and the grasshopper, all of its kind.

⁸ And they say unto him, `A man--hairy, and a girdle of skin girt about his loins;' and he said, `He [is] Elijah the Tishbite..

⁴ And it shall come to be in that day that the prophets shall be ashamed, each because of his vision, when he prophesies; and they shall not put on a fur robe of hair that they may dissimulate."

⁴ Now he, John, had his apparel of camel's hair and a leather girdle about his loins. Now his nourishment was locusts and wild honey.

¹⁴ Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!"

¹⁶ John answers, saying to all, "I, indeed, in water am baptizing you. Yet coming is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to loose. He will be baptizing you in holy spirit and fire,

⁶ Now Jesus went with them. Now, as He is already not far away from the house, the centurion sends friends to Him, saying to Him, "Lord, do not bother, for not enough am I that Thou mayest be entering under my roof." ⁷ Wherefore, neither do I count myself worthy to be coming to Thee. But say the word, and my boy will be healed."

²⁷ He it is Who, coming after me, has come to be in front of me, of Whom I am not worthy that I should be loosing the thong of His sandal."

²⁸ You yourselves are testifying to me that I said, 'Not I am the Christ,' but that 'Dispatched am I in front of Him.'" ²⁹ He Who has the bride is the Bridegroom. Yet the friend of the Bridegroom, who stands and is hearing Him, is rejoicing with joy because of the Bridegroom's voice. This, my joy, then, has been fulfilled." ³⁰ He must be growing, yet mine it is to be inferior." ³¹ He Who from above is coming is over all. He who is of the earth is of the earth and of the earth is speaking; He Who is coming out of heaven is over all."

²⁵ Now as John completed his career, he said, 'What you are suspecting me to be, I am not. But lo! coming after me is One, the sandal of Whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'"

²³ May you turn back at my correction; Behold, let me utter what is in my spirit to you; Let me make known my words to you."

¹⁵ till emptied on us shall be the spirit from the height. "Then the wilderness will come to be for crop land, and the crop land for wildwood will be accounted."

³ For I will pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry land. I will pour My spirit on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring."

²⁵ And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And you have been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, I do cleanse you." ²⁶ And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh." ²⁷ And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this, so that in My statutes you walk, And My judgments you keep, and have done them."

²⁸ And it comes afterward, I shall pour out My spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your elders shall dream dreams, your chosen ones shall see visions."

⁵ seeing that John, indeed, baptizes in water, yet you shall be baptized in holy spirit after not many of these days."

⁴ And they are all filled with holy spirit, and they begin to speak in different languages, according as the spirit gave them to declaim."

¹⁷ And it shall be in the last days,' (God is saying) 'I shall be pouring out from My spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, And your youths visions shall be seeing, And your elders dreams shall be dreaming,

⁴⁵ And amazed were the believers of the Circumcision, whoever come together with Peter, seeing that on the nations also the gratuity of the holy spirit has been poured out."

¹⁵ Now as I begin to speak, the holy spirit falls on them, even as on us also in the beginning." ¹⁶ Now I am reminded of the declaration of the Lord, as He said that 'John, indeed, baptizes in water, yet you shall be baptized in holy spirit.'"

⁴ Yet Paul said, "John baptizes with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that in the One coming after him they should be believing, that is, in Jesus." ⁵ Now, hearing this, they are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." ⁶ And at the placing of Paul's hands on them, the holy spirit came on them. Besides, they spoke languages and prophesied."

¹³ For in one spirit also we all are baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and all are made to imbibe one spirit."

⁵ not for works which are wrought in righteousness which we do, but according to His mercy, He saves us, through the bath of renascence and renewal of holy spirit, ⁶ which He pours out on us richly through Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

²³ And coming, he dwells in a city termed Nazareth, so that that may be fulfilled which is declared through the prophets that: A Nazarene shall He be called.

¹³ Then Jesus is coming along from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. ¹⁴ Yet John prohibited Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by Thee, and Thou art coming to me!" ¹⁵ Yet, answering, Jesus said to him, "by your leave, at present, for thus it is becoming for us to fulfill all righteousness.Then he is giving Him leave. ¹⁶ Now, being baptized, Jesus straightway stepped up from the water, and lo! opened up to Him were the heavens, and He perceived the spirit of God descending as if a dove, and coming on Him. ¹⁷ And lo! a voice out of the heavens, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight."

²¹ Now it occurred, as all the people are baptized, at Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven is opened, ²² and the holy spirit descends on Him, to bodily perception as if a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."

¹ Behold My Servant! I am upholding Him. My Chosen! Accepted by My soul! I bestow My spirit upon Him, and He shall bring forth judgment to the nations."

¹ O that You wouldst tear the heavens and descend! The mountains would quiver because of Your presence!

¹⁶ Now, being baptized, Jesus straightway stepped up from the water, and lo! opened up to Him were the heavens, and He perceived the spirit of God descending as if a dove, and coming on Him.

²² and the holy spirit descends on Him, to bodily perception as if a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, saying, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."

⁷ And there came a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!"

³⁵ And a voice came out of the cloud saying, "This is My Son, The Chosen; Him be hearing."

²⁰ For the Father is fond of the Son and is showing Him all that He is doing. "And greater works than these shall He be showing Him, that you may be marveling." ²¹ For even as the Father is rousing the dead and vivifying, thus the Son also is vivifying whom He will." ²² For neither is the Father judging anyone, but has given all judging to the Son, ²³ that all may be honoring the Son, according as they are honoring the Father. He who is not honoring the Son is not honoring the Father Who sends Him."

³⁷ And the Father Who sends Me, He has testified concerning Me. Neither have you ever heard His voice nor a perception of Him have you seen."

²⁸ But therefore came I into this hour. Father, glorify Thy name!A voice, then, came out of heaven, "I glorify it also, and shall be glorifying it again!" ²⁹ The throng, then, which stands and hears it, said, "A thunderclap has come!Others said, "A messenger has spoken to Him!" ³⁰ Jesus answered and said, "Not because of Me has come this voice, but because of you."

⁴ Who is designated Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead),

¹³ Who rescues us out of the jurisdiction of Darkness, and transports us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

¹⁷ For He got from God, the Father, the honor and glory of the voice, being carried to Him in such a way by the Glory Magnifical: "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight!" ¹⁸ And this voice we hear being carried out of heaven, being together with Him in the holy mountain."

¹ Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the spirit to be tried by the Adversary. ² And, fasting forty days and forty nights, subsequently He hungers. ³ And, approaching, the trier said to Him, "If you are God's Son, say that these stones may be becoming cakes of bread." ⁴ Yet He, answering, said, "It is written, 'Not on bread alone shall man be living, but on every declaration going out through the mouth of God.'" ⁵ Then the Adversary is taking Him along into the holy city, and stands Him on the wing of the sanctuary. ⁶ And he is saying to Him. "If you are God's Son, cast yourself down, for it is written that
'His messengers shall be directed concerning Thee'
and
'On their hands shall they be lifting Thee,
Lest at some time Thou shouldst be dashing Thy foot against a stone.'" ⁷ Jesus averred to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not be putting on trial the Lord your God.'" ⁸ Again the Adversary takes Him along into a very high mountain, and is showing Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, "All these to you will I be giving, if ever, falling down, you should be worshiping me." ¹⁰ Then Jesus is saying to him, "Go away, Satan, for it is written,
The Lord your God shall you be worshiping,
And to Him only shall you be offering divine service." ¹¹ Then the Adversary is leaving Him. And lo! messengers approached and waited on Him.

¹ Now Jesus, full of holy spirit, returns from the Jordan, and was led in the spirit in the wilderness" ² forty days, undergoing trial by the Adversary. And He did not eat of anything in those days, and subsequently, at their being concluded, He hungers." ³ Now the Adversary said to Him, "If you are God's son, speak to this stone that it may be becoming bread." ⁴ And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written that, 'Not on bread alone shall man be living, but on every declaration...of God.'" ⁵ And, leading Him up into a high mountain, the Adversary shows Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in a second of time." ⁶ And the Adversary said to Him, "To you shall I be giving all this authority and the glory of them, for it has been given up to me, and to whomsoever I may will, I am giving it." ⁷ If you, then, should ever be worshiping before me, it will all be yours." ⁸ And answering, Jesus said to Him, "Go away behind Me, Satan! It is written, The Lord your God shall you be worshiping, and to Him only shall you be offering divine service." ⁹ Now he led Him into Jerusalem and stands Him on the wing of the sanctuary, and he said to Him, "If you are God's son, cast yourself down hence, ¹⁰ for it is written that 'His messengers shall be directed concerning Thee, To protect Thee.'" ¹¹ and that 'On their hands shall they be lifting Thee, Lest at some time Thou shouldst be dashing Thy foot against a stone.'" ¹² And answering, Jesus said to him that "It has been declared, 'You shall not be putting on trial the Lord your God.'" ¹³ And, concluding every trial, the Adversary withdrew from Him until an appointed time."

¹⁸ So Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. Moses came to be on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

²⁸ And he came to be there before Yahweh, forty days and forty nights. Bread he did not eat and water he did not drink. Thus he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten words.

¹¹ It came to be at the end of forty days and forty nights that Yahweh gave to me the two tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant.

¹⁸ Then I cast myself down before Yahweh as the first time for forty days and forty nights. Bread I did not eat, and water I did not drink on account of all your sin which you had sinned by doing what was evil in the eyes of Yahweh your Elohim to provoke Him to vexation.

²⁵ When I cast myself down before Yahweh (during the forty days and forty nights that I had cast myself down, for Yahweh had said He would exterminate you),

⁵ And he lies down and sleeps under a certain retem-tree, and lo, a messenger comes against him, and said to him, `Rise, eat;. <sup>6</sup> and he looks attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake [baken on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down. <sup>7</sup> And the messenger of Yahweh turns back a second time, and comes against him, and said, `Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you;. ⁸ and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of Elohim--Horeb.

⁵³ Or are you supposing that I am not able to entreat My Father, and at present He will station by My side more than twelve legions of messengers?

¹⁶ And avowedly great is the secret of devoutness, which was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by messengers, heralded among the nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory."

¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people." ¹⁸ For in what He has suffered, undergoing trial, He is able to help those who are being tried."

¹⁵ For we have not a Chief Priest not able to sympathize with our infirmities, but One Who has been tried in all respects like us, apart from sin."

¹ The spirit of My Lord Yahweh is on Me, because Yahweh anoints Me to bear tidings to the humble. He sends Me to bind up the broken hearted, to herald to captives, liberty, and, to the blind, the unclosing of the eyes, and, to the bound, to take the jubilee, ² to herald an acceptable year for Yahweh, and a day of vengeance for our Elohim. To comfort all mourners, ³ to give rejoicing to the mourners of Zion, to give to them beauty instead of ashes, the oil of elation instead of mourning, the muffler of praise instead of dimness of spirit. And they are called arbiters of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, to beautify Himself."

¹² Now, hearing that John was given up, He retires into Galilee,

²³ And Jesus led them about in the whole of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and heralding the evangel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every debility among the people.

³⁵ And Jesus led them about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and heralding the evangel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every debility."

² Now John, hearing in the prison of the works of Christ, sending through his disciples,

² and said to his pages, "This is John the baptist. He was roused from the dead and therefore powerful deeds are operating in him."

²⁰ adds this also to them all: he locks up John in jail.

¹⁷ And handed to Him was a scroll of the prophet Isaiah, and, opening the scroll, He found the place where it was written, ¹⁸ The spirit of the Lord is on Me, On account of which He anoints Me to bring the evangel to the poor. He has commissioned Me to heal the crushed heart, To herald to captives a pardon, And to the blind the receiving of sight; To dispatch the oppressed with a pardon." ¹⁹ To herald an acceptable year of the Lord..."

⁴³ Now He said to them that "To other cities also I must bring the evangel of the kingdom of God, for for this was I commissioned." ⁴⁴ And he was heralding in the synagogues of Judea.

¹ And it occurred consecutively, He also traverses city by city and village by village, heralding and bringing the evangel of the kingdom of God, and together with the twelve,

²² After these things came Jesus and His disciples into the land of Judea. And there He tarried with them and baptized. ²³ Now John also was baptizing in Enon near Salim, for there was much water there, and they came along and were baptized, ²⁴ for not as yet was John cast into jail.

²⁵ And now, lo! I am aware that you all, among whom I passed through heralding the kingdom, shall be seeing my face no longer."

²³ Now setting a day for him, more came to him in the lodging, to whom he expounded, certifying to the kingdom of God, besides persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till dusk."

¹⁷ And, coming, He brings the evangel of peace to you, those afar, and peace to those near,

⁴⁴ In their days, that is, of these kings, the Eloah of the heavens will set up a kingdom that for the eons shall not come to harm. His kingdom shall not be left to another people. It will pulverize and terminate all these kingdoms, and it shall be confirmed for the eons."

²⁵ And you shall know and be intelligent:From the faring forth of the word to cause a return and to rebuild Jerusalem--from then till Messiah the Governor is seven sevens, and sixty-two sevens. It will return and will be rebuilt, square and salient, even in eras of constraint."

² saying: "Repent! for near is the kingdom of the heavens!"

¹⁷ Thenceforth begins Jesus to be heralding and saying, "Repent! for near is the kingdom of the heavens!"

⁷ Now going, herald, saying that 'Near is the kingdom of the heavens!'"

³¹ Which of the two does the will of the father?They are saying, "The first.Jesus is saying to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that the tribute collectors and the prostitutes are preceding you into the kingdom of God." ³² For John came to you on the road of righteousness, and you do not believe him. Yet the tribute collectors and the prostitutes believe him. Now you, perceiving it, did not even regret subsequently, so as to believe him."

⁹ and cure the infirm in it, and say to them, 'Near to you is the kingdom of God.'"

¹¹ Even the dust on our feet, which is clinging to us out of your city, are we wiping off before you. Moreover, know this, that near to you is the kingdom of God!"

⁴⁷ and there is to be heralded in His name repentance for the pardon of sins, to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem."

³⁶ Let all the house of Israel know certainly, then, that God makes Him Lord as well as Christ - this Jesus Whom you crucify!" ³⁷ Now, hearing this, their heart was pricked with compunction. Besides, they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "What should we be doing, men, brethren? ³⁸ Now Peter is averring to them, "Repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins, and you shall be obtaining the gratuity of the holy spirit."

²¹ certifying to both Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁶ yet manifested now and through prophetic scriptures, according to the injunction of the eonian God being made known to all nations for faith-obedience -"

⁴ Now when the full time came, God delegates His Son, come of a woman, come under law, "

¹⁰ to have an administration of the complement of the eras, to head up all in the Christ - both that in the heavens and that on the earth"

²⁵ with meekness training those who are antagonizing, seeing whether God may be giving them repentance to come into a realization of the truth, ²⁶ and they will be sobering up out of the trap of the Adversary, having been caught alive by him, for that one's will."

¹⁸ Now, walking beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived two brothers, Simon, termed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a purse net into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will be making you fishers of men!" ²⁰ Now immediately leaving the nets, they follow Him. ²¹ And, advancing thence, He perceived two others, brothers, James of Zebedee and John, his brother, in the ship with Zebedee, their father, adjusting their nets. And He calls them. ²² Now, immediately leaving the ship and their father, they follow Him.

² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, termed Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James of Zebedee, and John, his brother;"

¹⁶ And passing by, beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, purse netting with a purse net in the sea, for they were fishers." ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will make you become fishers of men!" ¹⁸ And immediately, leaving their nets, they follow Him." ¹⁹ And advancing slightly, He perceived James of Zebedee and John, his brother, who also are in the ship, adjusting the nets." ²⁰ And straightway He calls them. And, leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings, they came away after Him."

¹⁶ And He makes the twelve, and He places on Simon the name "Peter,

¹⁸ and Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew and Matthew and Thomas and James of Alpheus and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananite

¹ Now it occurred, as the throng is importuning Him and hearing the word of God, He also was standing beside lake Gennesaret, ² and he perceived two ships standing beside the lake. Now the fishers, stepping off from them, rinse off the nets." ³ Now, stepping into one of the ships, which was Simon's, He asks him to be backing up slightly from the land. Now, being seated, He taught the throngs out of the ship." ⁴ Now as He ceases speaking, He said to Simon, "Back up into the depth, and lower your nets for a catch." ⁵ And answering, Simon said to Him, "Doctor, the whole night through, toiling, we did not get one. Yet, at Thy declaration, I shall lower the nets." ⁶ And, this doing, they impound a vast multitude of fishes. Yet their nets tore through, ⁷ and they beckon to their partners in the other ship to come to their aid. And they came, and they fill both the ships so that they are swamped." ⁸ Now perceiving it, Simon Peter prostrates before Jesus' knees, saying, "Come away from me, for a man, a sinner am I, Lord!" ⁹ For awe engulfs him and all those with him at the catch of fishes which they took. ¹⁰ Now likewise are James also and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's mates. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not! From now on men you shall be catching alive!" ¹¹ And bringing the ships onto the land, leaving all, they follow Him."

¹⁴ Simon, whom He names also Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

⁴⁰ Now Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who hear from John and follow Him." ⁴¹ This one first is finding his own brother, Simon, and is saying to him, "We have found the Messiah!(which is, being construed, "Christ")." ⁴² And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him, Jesus said, "You are Simon, the son of John. You shall be called Cephas(which is being translated "Peter")."

⁸ One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, is saying to Him,

²² Philip is coming and telling Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip are coming and telling Jesus."

¹³ And when they entered it, they went up into the upper chamber where they were residing - both Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James."

¹⁰ And it has come to pass, fishers do stand by it, from En-Gedi even unto En-Eglaim; a spreading place of nets they are; according to their own kind is their fish, as the fish of the great sea, very many."

¹⁹ And He is saying to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will be making you fishers of men!" ²⁰ Now immediately leaving the nets, they follow Him.

¹⁰ Now likewise are James also and John, sons of Zebedee, who were Simon's mates. And Jesus said to Simon, "Fear not! From now on men you shall be catching alive!"

³⁸ Now Peter is averring to them, "Repent and be baptized each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the pardon of your sins, and you shall be obtaining the gratuity of the holy spirit." ³⁹ For to you is the promise and to your children, and to all those afar, whosoever the Lord our God should be calling to Him." ⁴⁰ Besides, with more and different words, he conjures and entreated them, saying, "Be saved from this crooked generation!" ⁴¹ Those indeed, then, who welcome his word, are baptized, and there were added in that day about three thousand souls."

²⁷ Then, answering, Peter said to Him, "Lo! we leave all and follow Thee. What, consequently, will it be to us? ²⁸ Yet Jesus said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you, that you who follow Me, in the renascence whenever the Son of Mankind should be seated on the throne of His glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel." ²⁹ And everyone who leaves houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of My name, a hundred-fold shall be getting, and shall be enjoying the allotment of life eonian." ³⁰ Yet many of the first shall be last, and the last first."

²⁸ Peter begins to say to Him, "Lo! we leave all and follow Thee! What, consequently, will it be to us? ²⁹ Jesus averred to him, "Verily, I am saying to you that there is no one who leaves a house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on My account and on account of the evangel, ³⁰ who should not be getting back a hundredfold now, in this era, houses and brothers and sisters and mother and father and children and fields, with persecutions, and in the coming eon, life eonian." ³¹ Yet many of the first shall be last, and the last first."

¹¹ And bringing the ships onto the land, leaving all, they follow Him."

³³ Thus, then, everyone of you who is not taking leave of all of his possessions, can not be My disciple."

²⁸ Now Peter said, "Lo! we, leaving our own, follow Thee." ²⁹ Now He said to them, "Verily, I am saying to you that there is no one who leaves house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children on account of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ who may not by all means be getting back manyfold in this era, and in the coming eon, life eonian."

⁸ But, to be sure, I am also deeming all to be a forfeit because of the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, because of Whom I forfeited all, and am deeming it to be refuse, that I should be gaining Christ,

²¹ And, advancing thence, He perceived two others, brothers, James of Zebedee and John, his brother, in the ship with Zebedee, their father, adjusting their nets. And He calls them.

¹⁷ and on James of Zebedee and John, the brother of James, on them also He places the name "Boanerges,which is, "Sons of Thunder";"

³⁷ And He does not let anyone follow together with Him except Peter and James and John, the brother of James."

² And after six days, Jesus is taking aside Peter and James and John and is bringing them up into a very high mountain, privately, alone. And He was transformed in front of them."

³⁵ And going to Him are James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, saying to Him, "Teacher, we are wanting that, whatsoever we should be requesting of Thee, Thou shouldst be doing it for us."

³³ And He is taking Peter and James and John aside with Himself, and He begins to be overawed and depressed."

² Now he assassinated James, the brother of John, with the sword."

⁹ the one saying of his father and of his mother:I do not see them, and he neither recognized his brothers, nor did he know his sons. For they observed Your sayings and preserved Your covenant.

²⁰ and he forsakes the oxen, and runs after Elijah, and said, `Let me give a kiss, I pray you, to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.' And he said to him, `Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?.

²¹ Now a different one of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to come away and entomb my father." ²² Yet Jesus is saying to him, "Be following Me, and leave the dead to entomb their own dead."

³⁷ He who is fond of father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me. And he who is fond of son or daughter above Me is not worthy of Me."

²⁹ Jesus averred to him, "Verily, I am saying to you that there is no one who leaves a house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on My account and on account of the evangel,

²⁶ If anyone is coming to Me and is not hating his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and still more his soul besides, he can not be My disciple."

¹⁶ So that we, from now on, are acquainted with no one according to flesh. Yet even if we have known Christ according to flesh, nevertheless now we know Him so no longer."

¹³ and, leaving Nazareth, coming, He dwells in Capernaum, which is beside the sea in the boundaries of Zebulon and Naphtali,

³⁹ And He came into their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, heralding and casting out demons."

¹ And, entering again into Capernaum during these days, it is heard that He is in a house."

² And at the coming of a sabbath He begins to teach in the synagogue. And the majority, hearing, were astonished, saying, "Whence has this man all these things? And what wisdom is being given this man! And such powerful deeds are occurring by means of his hands!"

¹ And rising from thence, He is coming into the boundaries of Judea and the other side of the Jordan. And again throngs are going together to Him, and again, as He had been accustomed, He taught them."

¹⁶ And He came to Nazareth, where He was reared, and, according to His custom on the day of the sabbaths, He entered into the synagogue and rose to read."

³¹ And He came down into Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the sabbaths." ³² And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority." ³³ And in the synagogue was a man having the spirit of an unclean demon, and it cries out with a loud voice, ³⁴ saying, "Ha! what is it to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarean? Did you come to destroy us? I am aware who you are-the holy One of God!" ³⁵ And Jesus rebukes it, saying, "Be still, and come out from him!And, pitching him into their midst, the demon came out from him, in nothing harming him." ³⁶ And awe came on all, and they conferred with one another, saying, "What word is this? for with authority and power is He enjoining the unclean spirits, and they are coming out!" ³⁷ And a hubbub went out concerning Him to every place in the country about.

¹⁵ And you, Capernaum! Not to heaven shall you be exalted! To the unseen shall you subside!"

¹⁰ Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbaths.

¹⁴ Now they, passing through from Perga, came along into Antioch, Pisidia, and, entering into the synagogue the day of the sabbaths, they are seated." ¹⁵ Now, after the reading of the law and the prophets, the chiefs of the synagogue dispatch to them, saying, "Men, brethren, if there is in you any word of entreaty for the people, say it." ¹⁶ Now Paul, rising and gesturing with his hand, said "Men, Israelites, and those who are fearing God, hear!" ¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chooses our fathers, and exalts the people in the sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm He led them out of it." ¹⁸ And for about forty years' time He carries them, as a nurse, in the wilderness." ¹⁹ And, pulling down seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributes their land by lot" ²⁰ (about four hundred and fifty years). And after this He gives judges till Samuel the prophet. ²¹ And thence they request a king, and God gives them Saul, son of Kish, a man out of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years." ²² And, deposing him, He rouses David for their king, to whom He said also, in testifying, 'I found David, of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will be doing all My will.'" ²³ From this one's seed, God, according to the promise, led to Israel a Saviour, Jesus. " ²⁴ The previous heralding of John, before His personal entrance, was the baptism of repentance to the entire people of Israel." ²⁵ Now as John completed his career, he said, 'What you are suspecting me to be, I am not. But lo! coming after me is One, the sandal of Whose feet I am not worthy to loose.'" ²⁶ Men! Brethren! Sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who are fearing God! To us was the word of this salvation dispatched." ²⁷ For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their chiefs, being ignorant of Him and of the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, fulfill them in judging Him." ²⁸ And, finding not one cause of death, they request Pilate to have Him despatched." ²⁹ Now as they accomplish all that which is written concerning Him, taking Him down from the pole, they place Him in a tomb." ³⁰ Yet God rouses Him from among the dead: ³¹ Who was seen on more days by those who ascend with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people." ³² And we are bringing to you the evangel which comes to be a promise to the fathers, ³³ that God has fully fulfilled this for our children in raising Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm also, 'My Son art Thou; I, today, have begotten Thee.'" ³⁴ Now, seeing that He raises Him from among the dead, by no means longer about to return to decay, He has thus declared that, I shall be giving you the faithful benignities of David.'" ³⁵ Wherefore, in a different place also, He is saying, 'Thou wilt not be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay.'" ³⁶ For David, indeed, subserving his own generation by God's counsel, was put to repose, and was added to his fathers, and was acquainted with decay;" ³⁷ yet He Whom God rouses was not acquainted with decay. ³⁸ Let it then be known to you, men, brethren that through this One is being announced to you the pardon of sins, ³⁹ and from all from which you could not be justified in the law of Moses, in this One everyone who is believing is being justified." ⁴⁰ Beware then, that that which has been declared in the prophets may not be coming on you:" ⁴¹ Perceive, you despisers, and marvel, and disappear! for a work am I working in your days - a work which you should by no means be believing if anyone should be detailing it to you." ⁴² Now, at their being out, they entreated that these declarations be spoken to them on the intervening sabbath." ⁴³ Now the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and the reverent proselytes follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to remain in the grace of God." ⁴⁴ Now on the coming sabbath almost the entire city was gathered to hear the word of the Lord. ⁴⁵ Yet the Jews, perceiving the throngs, are filled with jealousy, and they contradicted the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming." ⁴⁶ Being bold, both Paul and Barnabas, say, "To you first was it necessary that the word of God be spoken. Yet, since, in fact, you are thrusting it away, and are judging yourselves not worthy of eonian life, lo! we are turning to the nations." ⁴⁷ For thus the Lord has directed us: I have appointed Thee for a light of the nations; for Thee to be for salvation as far as the limits of the earth.'" ⁴⁸ Now on hearing this, the nations rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and they believe, whoever were set for life eonian." ⁴⁹ Now the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country. ⁵⁰ Yet the Jews spur on the reverent, respectable women, and the foremost ones of the city, and rouse up persecution for Paul and Barnabas, and they ejected them from their boundaries." ⁵¹ Now they, shaking the dust off their feet against them, came to Iconium." ⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy and holy spirit.

² Now, as was Paul's custom, he entered to them, and on three sabbaths he argues with them from the scriptures,

⁴ Now he argued in the synagogue on every sabbath and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

²⁹ Is it not thus? My word [is] as a fire, An affirmation of Yahweh. And as a hammer--it breaks in pieces a rock."

²⁸ And it came, when Jesus finishes these sayings, that the throngs were astonished at His teaching, ²⁹ for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as their scribes."

⁵⁴ And coming into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they are astonished, and are saying, "Whence has this one this wisdom and powerful deeds?

¹⁶ Woe to you, blind guides! who are saying, 'Whoever should be swearing by the temple, it is nothing; yet whoever should be swearing by the gold of the temple is owing.'" ¹⁷ Stupid and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hallows the gold? ¹⁸ And, 'Whoever should be swearing by the altar, it is nothing; yet whoever should be swearing by the approach present upon it is owing.'" ¹⁹ Stupid and blind! for which is greater, the approach present, or the altar that is hallowing the approach present? ²⁰ He, then, who swears by the altar is swearing by it and by all which is upon it." ²¹ And he who swears by the temple is swearing by it and by Him Who is dwelling in it. ²² And he who swears by heaven is swearing by the throne of God and by Him Who is sitting upon it. ²³ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are taking tithes from the mint and the dill and the cumin, and leave the weightier matters of the law, judging and mercy and faith. Now these it was binding for you to do, and not leave those." ²⁴ Blind guides! straining out a gnat, yet swallowing a camel!"

³ (for the Pharisees and all the Jews, if ever they should not be washing the hands with the fist, are not eating, holding the tradition of the elders;" ⁴ and from the market, except they should be sprinkled, they are not eating; and many other things are there which they accepted to hold, the baptizing of cups and ewers and copper vessels and of couches), ⁵ the Pharisees also, and the scribes are inquiring of Him, "Wherefore are not your disciples walking according to the tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands are eating bread? ⁶ Yet He, answering, said to them that "Ideally prophesies Isaiah concerning you hypocrites, as it is written, that This people with their lips is honoring Me, Yet their heart is away at a distance from Me." ⁷ Yet in vain are they revering Me, teaching for teachings the directions of men." ⁸ For, leaving the precept of God, you are holding the tradition of men of the baptism of ewers and cups. And many such like things you are doing." 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, ¹³ invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you give over. And many such like things you are doing."

³² And they were astonished at His teaching, for His word was with authority."

¹⁵ for I will be giving you a mouth and wisdom, which all those opposing you shall not be able to withstand or contradict."

⁴⁶ Now the deputies answered, "Never speaks a man thus!"

¹⁰ And they were not strong enough to withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke.

²¹ Now amazed are all who are hearing, and they said, "Is not this the one who, in Jerusalem, ravages those who are invoking this Name? And for this had he come here, that he may be leading them bound to the chief priests." ²² Yet Saul was the more invigorated, and threw the Jews dwelling in Damascus into confusion, deducing that this One is the Christ."

² But we spurn the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor yet adulterating the word of God, but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in God's sight."

¹² For the word of God is living and operative, and keen above any two-edged sword, and penetrating up to the parting of soul and spirit, both of the articulations and marrow, and is a judge of the sentiments and thoughts of the heart." ¹³ And there is not a creature which is not apparent in its sight. Now all is naked and bare to the eyes of Him to Whom we are accountable.

⁴³ Now, whenever the unclean spirit may be coming out from a man, it is passing through waterless places seeking rest, and is not finding it."

³⁴ And He cures many who have an illness, those with various diseases; and many demons He cast out. And He did not let the demons speak, for they were aware that He is the Christ."

² And at His coming out of the ship, straightway there meets Him a man out of the tombs, with an unclean spirit,

²⁵ but straightway, a woman, hearing about Him, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, entering, prostates at His feet."

²⁵ Now Jesus, perceiving that the throng is racing on together, rebukes the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Dumb and deaf-mute spirit, I am enjoining you to come out of him, and by no means may you be entering into him any longer."

¹² Is not this the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying: Leave off from us and let us serve the Egyptians, for it better for us to serve the Egyptians than for us to die in the wilderness.

¹⁰ For You shall not forsake my soul in the unseen; You shall not allow Your benign one to see corruption.

¹⁸ For our shield is of Yahweh, And our king is of the Holy One of Israel." ¹⁹ Then You spoke in a vision to Your benign ones, And You said:I have poised help on a master; I have exalted one chosen from the people."

²⁴ Seventy sevens are segregated for your people and for your holy city:To detain transgression, to cause sin to end, to make a propitiatory shelter for depravity; to bring the righteousness of the eons, to seal the vision and the prophet, to anoint the holy of holies."

²⁹ And lo! they cry, saying, "What is it to us and to Thee, Son of God! Didst Thou come here to torment us before the season?

⁷ and, crying with a loud voice, he is saying, "What is it to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High! I am adjuring Thee by God: Not me shouldst Thou be tormenting!"

³⁴ saying, "Ha! what is it to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarean? Did you come to destroy us? I am aware who you are-the holy One of God!"

²⁸ Now, perceiving Jesus and crying out, he prostrates to Him and said in a loud voice, "What is it to me and to Thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High! I beseech Thee, Thou shouldst not be tormenting me."

³⁷ And the entire multitude of the country about the Gergesenes asks Him to be coming away from them, for they were pressed by a great fear."

¹⁹ And He said to them, "Which?Now they say to Him, "Those concerning Jesus the Nazarean, a Man Who came to be a Prophet, powerful in work and in word, in front of God and the entire people,

²⁷ For Thou wilt not be forsaking my soul in the unseen, Nor wilt Thou be giving Thy Benign One to be acquainted with decay."

¹⁴ Now you disown the holy and just One, and request a man, a murderer, to be surrendered to you as a favor."

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,

⁵ For, finding this man a pestilence and stirrer of insurrections among all the Jews who are on the inhabited earth, besides a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,

¹⁹ You are believing that God is one. Ideally are you doing. The demons also are believing and are shuddering.

⁷ And to the messenger of the ecclesia in Philadelphia write: "Now this is saying the True, the Holy One, Who has the key of David, and Who is opening and no one shall be locking, and locking and no one shall be opening:"

¹⁶ Yet Elohim says to the wicked one, What is it to you to recount My statutes, Or that you bear My covenant on your mouth?

¹¹ And the unclean spirits, whenever they beheld Him, prostrated to Him and cried, saying that" ¹² You are the Son of God!And much He warned them, lest they should be making Him manifest."

³⁵ And Jesus rebukes it, saying, "Be still, and come out from him!And, pitching him into their midst, the demon came out from him, in nothing harming him."

⁴¹ Now demons also came out from many, clamoring and saying that "You are the Christ, the Son of God!And, rebuking them, He did not let them speak, for they had perceived that He is the Christ."

¹⁷ She, following after Paul and us, cried, saying, "These men are slaves of God most high, who are announcing to you a way of salvation!"

²⁰ And they bring him to Him. And perceiving Him, the spirit straightway violently convulses him, and, falling on the earth, he wallowed, frothing."

²⁶ And crying and convulsing him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so that the majority are saying that he died."

³⁹ And lo! a spirit is getting him, and suddenly he is crying out, and it is tearing and convulsing him, with froth, and is departing with difficulty from him, bruising him."

⁴² Yet, while he is still approaching, the demon tears and violently convulses him. Yet Jesus rebukes the unclean spirit, and He heals the boy and gives him back to his father."

²² Yet if ever a stronger than he, coming on, should be conquering him, he is taking away his panoply, in which he had confidence, and is distributing his spoils."

³³ And the demon being cast out, the mute man speaks. And the throngs marvel, saying, "Never did it appear thus in Israel!"

²² Then was brought to Him a demoniac, blind and mute, and He cures him, so that the mute man is speaking and observing." ²³ And amazed are all the throngs, and they said, "Is not this the Son of David?

³¹ so that the throng marvels, observing the mute speaking, the maimed sound, the lame walking and the blind observing. And they glorify the God of Israel."

³⁷ And they were superexceedingly astonished, saying, "Ideally has He done all! The deaf He is making to be hearing, as well as the dumb to be speaking."

²⁴ Now the disciples were awe-struck at His words. Yet Jesus, again answering, is saying to them, "Children, how squeamish it is for those who have confidence in money to be entering into the kingdom of God!"

³² Now they were on the road, going up into Jerusalem, and Jesus was preceding them. And they were awe-struck, yet those following feared. And, again taking the twelve aside, He begins to tell them what is about to be befalling Him,

³⁶ And awe came on all, and they conferred with one another, saying, "What word is this? for with authority and power is He enjoining the unclean spirits, and they are coming out!"

¹ Now calling together the twelve apostles, He gives them power and authority over all the demons and to be curing diseases."

¹⁷ Now the seventy-two return with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Thy name!" ¹⁸ Yet He said to them, "I beheld Satan, as lightning, falling out of heaven." ¹⁹ Lo! I have given you authority to be treading upon serpents and scorpions and over the entire power of the enemy, and nothing shall be injuring you under any circumstances." ²⁰ However, in this be not rejoicing, that the spirits are subject to you, yet be rejoicing that your names are engraven in the heavens."

⁴ And He stands and shepherds His flock in the strength of Yahweh, in the pomp of the name of Yahweh, His Elohim. And they shall dwell, for now shall He be great unto the limits of the land."

²⁴ And forth came the tidings of Him into the whole of Syria. And they bring to Him all who have an illness, those with various diseases and pressing torments, also demoniacs and epileptics and paralytics, and He cures them.

³¹ Yet they, coming out, blaze Him abroad in the whole of that land."

⁴⁵ Now he, coming out, begins heralding it much, and to blaze abroad the word, so that, by no means can He longer be manifestly entering into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from everywhere."

¹⁷ And handed to Him was a scroll of the prophet Isaiah, and, opening the scroll, He found the place where it was written,

³⁷ And a hubbub went out concerning Him to every place in the country about.

¹⁴ And Jesus, coming into Peter's home, perceived his mother-in-law prostrate and with a fever." ¹⁵ And He touches her hand, and the fever leaves her. And she was roused and waited on Him."

²¹ And they are entering Capernaum. And immediately, on the sabbaths, entering the synagogue, He taught."

²³ And straightway there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cries out, saying,

³⁸ Now, rising from the synagogue, Jesus entered into the house of Simon. Now the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed by a high fever, and they ask Him about her." ³⁹ And standing by over her, He rebukes the fever, and the fever leaves her. Now instantly, rising, she waited on them."

⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, "The jackals have burrows and the flying creatures of heaven roosts, yet the Son of Mankind has no where that He may be reclining His head."

²³ And he is entreating Him much, saying that "My little daughter is having her last gasp!that, "Coming, Thou mayest be placing Thy hands on her, that she may be saved and should be living!"

³ The sisters, then, dispatch to Him, saying, "Lord, lo, he of whom Thou art fond is infirm!"

⁵ Have we no right at all to be leading about a sister as a wife, even as the rest of the apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?

¹⁴ Is anyone infirm among you? Let him call to him the elders of the ecclesia, and let them pray over him, rubbing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord." ¹⁵ And the vow of faith will be saving the faltering and the Lord will be rousing him up, and, if he should have done sins, it will be forgiven him."

¹ {Davidic{ Bless Yahweh, O my soul, And all within me, bless His holy Name!" ² Bless Yahweh, O my soul, And do not forget any of His well-dealings, ³ Who is pardoning all your depravity, Who is healing all your ailments,

¹² What can I restore to Yahweh For all His bountiful dealings toward me?

⁵⁵ Now many women were there also, beholding from afar, who follow Jesus from Galilee, dispensing to Him,

⁴¹ And, holding the hand of the little girl, He is saying to her, "Talitha, coumi!(which is, being construed, "Maiden, I am saying to you, rouse!")."

⁴¹ who, when He was in Galilee, followed Him and dispensed to Him, and many others who ascend with Him into Jerusalem."

² and some women who were cured of wicked spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had come out, ³ and Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's manager, and Susanna and the many others who dispensed to Him out of their possessions."

⁴¹ Now giving her a hand, he raises her. Now summoning the saints and the widows, he presents her alive."

¹⁶ Now, evening coming on, they bring to Him many demoniacs, and He cast out the spirits with a word, and all those who have an illness He cures,

² And they scrutinized Him to see if on the sabbaths He will be curing him, that they should be accusing Him."

⁴⁰ Now at the setting of the sun, all, whoever had those who are infirm with various diseases, led them also to Him. Now He, placing His hands on each one of them, cures them. "

⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins."

⁴⁴ Now on the coming sabbath almost the entire city was gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

²⁵ And Jesus rebukes him, saying, "Be still, and be coming out of him!"

¹² You are the Son of God!And much He warned them, lest they should be making Him manifest."

¹⁶ Now it occurred, at our going to prayer, a certain maid, having a python spirit, meets us, who afforded a vast income to her masters, divining." ¹⁷ She, following after Paul and us, cried, saying, "These men are slaves of God most high, who are announcing to you a way of salvation!" ¹⁸ Now this she did on many days. Now Paul, being exasperated and turning about, said to the spirit, "I am charging you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to be coming out from her!And it came out the same hour."

³ In the morning You shall hear my voice; In the morning I shall arrange for You and watch.

⁴ In return for my love they are my adversaries, Even while I was in prayer."

²³ And, dismissing the throngs, He ascended into the mountain privately to pray. Now, evening coming on, He was there alone."

⁴⁶ And, taking leave of them, He came away into the mountain to pray." ⁴⁷ And evening coming on, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land." ⁴⁸ And perceiving them tormented in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night He is coming toward them, walking on the sea. And He wanted to pass them by."

⁴² Now at the coming of day, coming out, He went into a desolate place. And the throngs sought for Him, and they came to Him and detained Him, so as not to be going from them." ⁴³ Now He said to them that "To other cities also I must bring the evangel of the kingdom of God, for for this was I commissioned."

¹⁶ Now He was retreating in the wilderness and praying.

¹² Now it occurred in these days that He came out into the mountain to pray, and throughout the night He was in the prayer of God."

³⁹ And, coming out, He went, according to His custom, into the mount of Olives. Now the disciples also follow Him." ⁴⁰ Now, coming to be at the place, He said to them, "Be praying not to be entering into trial." ⁴¹ And He is pulled away from them about a stone's throw, and kneeling, He prayed, ⁴² saying, "Father, if it is Thy intention, carry aside this cup from Me. However, not My will, but Thine, be done!" ⁴³ Now a messenger from heaven was seen by Him, strengthening Him." ⁴⁴ And coming to be in a struggle, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became as if clots of blood descending on the earth." ⁴⁵ And, rising from prayer, coming to the disciples, He found them reposing from sorrow." ⁴⁶ And He said to them, "Why are you drowsing? Rise, pray, lest you may be entering into trial."

³⁴ Jesus is saying to them, "My food is that I should be doing the will of Him Who sends Me, and should be perfecting His work."

¹⁵ Jesus, then, knowing that they are about to come and snatch Him, that they should be making Him king, retires again into the mountain by Himself alone."

¹⁸ During every prayer and petition be praying on every occasion (in spirit being vigilant also for it with all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints,

⁵ For let this disposition be in you, which is in Christ Jesus also,

⁷ Who, in the days of His flesh, offering both petitions and supplications with strong clamor and tears to Him Who is able to save Him out of death, being hearkened to also for His piety,

¹¹ And it will be annulled in that day. And the traffickers of the flock, who are observing me, shall know that it is the word of Yahweh."

²⁶ And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He Who was with you on the other side of the Jordan, to Whom you have testified, lo! this One is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

⁴⁸ If we should be leaving him thus, all will be believing in him, and the Romans will come and take away our place as well as our nation."

¹⁹ The Pharisees, then, say to themselves, "You are beholding that you are benefiting nothing. Lo! the world came away after him!"

⁴⁹ And He said to them, "Why is it that you sought Me? Had you not perceived that I must be among the things which are My Father's?

¹⁸ The spirit of the Lord is on Me, On account of which He anoints Me to bring the evangel to the poor. He has commissioned Me to heal the crushed heart, To herald to captives a pardon, And to the blind the receiving of sight; To dispatch the oppressed with a pardon." ¹⁹ To herald an acceptable year of the Lord..." ²⁰ And furling the scroll, giving it back to the deputy, He is seated. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were looking intently at Him." ²¹ Now He begins to be saying to them that "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your ears."

⁴³ Now He said to them that "To other cities also I must bring the evangel of the kingdom of God, for for this was I commissioned."

⁴ I must be working the works of Him Who sends Me while it is day. Coming is the night, when no one can work."

²⁸ I came out from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

⁴ I glorify Thee on the earth, finishing the work which Thou hast given Me, that I should be doing it."

⁸ for the declarations which Thou hast given Me, I have given them, and they took them, and know truly that I came out from Thee, and they believe that thou dost commission Me."

³⁰ And coming away into her own house, she found the little girl prostrate on the couch, and the demon come out."

¹⁴ Is it a matter too marvelous for Yahweh Elohim? At the appointed time will I return to you according to the season of life, and Sarah has a son.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying. ² In case a human comes to have in the skin of his flesh a nodule or a scurf or a blotch, and it comes in the skin of his flesh as the contagion of leprous disease, then the matter will be brought before Aaron the priest, or before one of his sons the priests. ³ When the priest examines the contagious area in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the contagious area has turned white and the appearance of the contagion is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the contagion of leprous disease. When the priest has examined it he will pronounce him unclean. ⁴ Yet if the blotch is white, that in the skin of his flesh, and is not deeper in its appearance than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest will enclose the contagious person seven days. ⁵ The priest will examine him on the seventh day, and behold, if in his eyes the contagion stays, the contagion has not diffused in the skin, then the priest will enclose him a second seven days. ⁶ The priest will examine him on the second seventh day, and behold, if the contagion is inconspicuous and the contagion has not diffused in the skin, then the priest will pronounce him clean; it is a scurf. He will rinse his garments; then he will be clean. ⁷ Yet if the scurf should have diffused, yea diffused in the skin after his appearance before the priest for his cleansing, then he will show himself a second time to the priest. ⁸ When the priest has examined, and behold, if the scurf has diffused in the skin, then the priest will pronounce him unclean; it is a leprous disease. ⁹ In case the contagion of a leprous disease comes to be in a human, then the matter will be brought before the priest. ¹⁰ The priest will examine, and behold, if a white nodule is in the skin and it has turned the hair white and live flesh is staying alive in the nodule, ¹¹ it is a chronic leprous disease in the skin of his flesh. Then the priest will pronounce him unclean; he shall not enclose him, for he is unclean. ¹² Yet if the leprous disease should bud, yea bud in the skin so that the leprous disease covers all the skin of the contagious person, from his head unto his feet, to all appearances in the eyes of the priest, ¹³ then the priest will examine, and behold, if the leprous disease covers all his flesh, he will pronounce the contagion clean; all of it has turned white; he is clean. ¹⁴ Yet on the day live flesh appears in it, he shall be unclean.

¹⁰ When the cloud withdrew from above the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous as snow. Aaron turned around to Miriam, and behold, she was leprous. ¹¹ Aaron said to Moses, O! my lord, do not, I pray, set against us the sin in which we were foolish and with which we have sinned. ¹² Oh do not let her be as the dead child of which, when it comes forth from the womb of its mother, half its flesh is devoured. ¹³ Then Moses cried to Yahweh, saying:El, I pray heal her, I pray!" ¹⁴ Yahweh said to Moses:Had her father spit, yea spit in her face, would she not be put to shame seven days? She shall be locked out seven days outside the camp, and thereafter shall she be gathered in. ¹⁵ So Miriam was locked out outside the camp seven days. Yet the people did not journey until Miriam was gathered in.

⁸ Be on guard in a contagion of leprosy to observe especially and to do according to all the law which the priests, the Levites, shall direct you. Just as I have instructed them shall you observe to do. ⁹ You are to remember what Yahweh your Elohim did to Miriam along the way in your going forth from Egypt.

²⁹ it does stay on the head of Joab, and on all the house of his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one having an issue, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and falling by a sword, and lacking bread..

⁵ And the king of Aram said, `Go you, enter, and I send a letter unto the king of Israel;' and he goes and takes in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments. <sup>6</sup> And he brings in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, `And now, at the coming in of this letter unto you, lo, I have sent unto you Naaman my servant, and you have recovered him from his leprosy.. ⁷ And it comes to pass, at the king of Israel's reading the letter, that he rends his garments, and said, `Am I Elohim, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending unto me to recover a man from his leprosy? for surely know, I pray you, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.. <sup>8</sup> And it comes to pass, at Elisha the man of Elohim's hearing that the king of Israel has rent his garments, that he sends unto the king, saying, `Why have you rent your garments? let him come, I pray you, unto me, and he does know that there is a prophet in Israel.. ⁹ And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;" ¹⁰ and Elisha sends unto him a messenger, saying, `Go, and you have washed seven times in Jordan, and your flesh does turn back to you--and be you clean. <sup>11</sup> And Naaman is wroth, and goes on, and said, `Lo, I said, Unto me he does certainly come out, and has stood and called in the name of Yahweh his Elohim, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper. ¹² Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? do I not wash in them and I have been clean?' and he turns and goes on in fury. ¹³ And his servants come nigh, and speak unto him, and say, `My father, a great thing had the prophet spoken unto you--do you not do [it]? and surely, when he has said unto you, Wash, and be clean.. <sup>14</sup> And he goes down and dips in Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of Elohim, and his flesh does turn back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean. <sup>15</sup> And he turns back unto the man of Elohim, he and all his camp, and comes in, and stands before him, and said, `Lo, I pray you, I have known that there is not an Elohim in all the earth except in Israel; and now, take, I pray you, a blessing from your servant.. ¹⁶ And he said, `Yahweh lives, before whom I have stood--if I take [it];' and he presses on him to take, and he refuses. <sup>17</sup> And Naaman said, `If not--let be given, I pray you, to your servant, a couple of mules' burden of earth, for your servant does make no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other elohims, but to Yahweh. ¹⁸ For this thing Yahweh be propitious to your servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon Yahweh be propitious, I pray you, to your servant in this thing.. ¹⁹ And he said to him, `Go in peace.' And he goes from him a kibrath of land, <sup>20</sup> And Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of Elohim, said, `Lo, my lord has spared Naaman this Aramean, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; Yahweh lives; surely if I have run after him, then I have taken from him something.. ²¹ And Gehazi pursues after Naaman, and Naaman sees one running after him, and alights from off the chariot to meet him, and said, `Is there peace?. <sup>22</sup> And he said, `Peace; my lord has sent me, saying, Lo, now, this, come unto me have two young men from the hill-country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets; give, I pray you, to them, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.. ²³ And Naaman said, `Be pleased, take two talents;' and he urges on him, and binds two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and gives unto two of his young men, and they bear before him;" <sup>24</sup> and he comes in unto the high place, and takes out of their hand, and lays up in the house, and sends away the men, and they go. <sup>25</sup> And he has come in, and does stand by his lord, and Elisha said unto him, `Whence--Gehazi?' and he said, `Your servant went not hither or thither.. <sup>26</sup> And he said unto him, `My heart went not when the man turned from off his chariot to meet you; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and men-servants, and maid-servants? ²⁷ yea, the leprosy of Naaman does cleave to you, and to your seed, --to the eon;' and he goes out from before him--leprous as snow.

³ And four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate, and they say one unto another, `What--we are sitting here till we have died;"

⁵ And Yahweh smites the king, and he is a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwells in a separate house, and Jotham son of the king [is] over the house, judging the people of the land.

¹³ for Solomon has made a scaffold of brass, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands upon it, and kneels on his knees over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands towards the heavens-.

² And lo! a leper, coming to Him, worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou shouldst be willing, Thou canst cleanse me!" ³ And, stretching out His hand, He touches him, saying, "I am willing! Be cleansed!And immediately, cleansed is his leprosy." ⁴ And Jesus is saying to him, "See that you may tell it to no one, but go away; show yourself to the priest and bring the approach present which Moses bids, for a testimony to them."

⁵ The blind are receiving sight, and the lame are walking; lepers are being cleansed, and the deaf are hearing, and the dead are being roused, and to the poor the evangel is being brought."

¹⁴ And, at their coming to the throng, a man came to Him, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

²² And often it casts him into the fire also, and into waters, that it should be destroying him. But if Thou art in any way able, help us, having compassion on us!" ²³ Now Jesus said to him, "Why the if? You are able to believe. All is possible to him who is believing."

¹⁷ And at His going out into the road, lo! one certain rich man, running toward Him and falling on his knees before Him, inquired of Him, "Good Teacher! What shall I be doing that I should be enjoying the allotment of life eonian?

¹² And it occurred, as He is in one of the cities, lo! a man full of leprosy. Now, perceiving Jesus, falling on his face, he besought Him, saying, "Lord, if Thou shouldst be willing, Thou canst cleanse me!" ¹³ And, stretching out His hand, He touches him, saying, "I am willing! Be cleansed!And immediately the leprosy came away from him." ¹⁴ And He charges him to be speaking to no one. "But come away, show yourself to the priest, and bring for your cleansing, according as Moses bids, for a testimony to them."

¹² And, at His entering into a certain village, ten men, lepers, meet Him, who stand ahead." ¹³ And they lift their voices, saying, "Jesus, Doctor, be merciful to us!" ¹⁴ And, perceiving it, He said to them, "Go, exhibit yourselves to the priests.And at their going away, it came to be that they are cleansed." ¹⁵ Now one of them, perceiving that he was healed, returns, glorifying God with a loud voice." ¹⁶ And he falls on his face at His feet, thanking Him. And he was a Samaritan." ¹⁷ Now, answering, Jesus said, "Are not the ten cleansed? Yet where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found returning to give glory to God except this foreigner? ¹⁹ And He said to him, "Rise, go. Your faith has saved you."

⁴¹ And He is pulled away from them about a stone's throw, and kneeling, He prayed,

⁶⁰ Now, kneeling, he cries with a loud voice, "Lord, Thou shouldst not stand against them this sin!And saying this, he was put to repose."

¹⁴ On this behalf am I bowing my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

³ And saying is the Elohim, "Become light!" And it is becoming light.

⁹ For He spoke, and it came to be; He enjoined, and it stood firm."

³⁶ Now, perceiving the throngs, He has compassion on them, for they were bothered and tossed as if sheep having no shepherd."

³⁹ And, being roused, He rebukes the wind and said to the sea, "Be silent! Be still!And the wind flags, and there came a great calm."

³⁴ And, coming out, Jesus perceived a vast throng, and He has compassion on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and He begins to teach them much."

¹² Now as He nears the gate of the city, lo! there was fetched out, being dead, an only-begotten son of his mother. And she was a widow. And a considerable throng of the city was with her." ¹³ And perceiving her, the Lord has compassion on her and said to her, "Do not lament!"

³ Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, besides carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights;"

¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people."

²⁸ Then, answering, Jesus said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it come to be with you as you are wanting.And healed was her daughter from that hour."

³¹ And approaching, He rouses her, holding her hand. And the fever leaves her immediately, and she waited on them."

²⁹ And straightway dried is the spring of her blood, and she knew in her body that she has been healed of the scourge."

⁵⁰ Jesus is saying to him, "Go. Your son is living.And the man believes the word which Jesus said to him, and went." ⁵¹ Now as he is already descending, his slaves meet him, and they report, saying that his boy is living." ⁵² He, then, ascertained from them the hour in which he was better. And they said, then, to him that "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever leaves him." ⁵³ The father knew, then, that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son is living.And he believes, he and his whole house."

³ Already you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

³⁰ And opened were their eyes. And Jesus mutters to them, saying, "See! Let no one know!"

⁴³ And He cautions them much that no one may be knowing of this. And He told them to give her something to eat.

³⁶ And He cautions them that they may be telling no one, yet, as much as He cautioned them, they rather heralded it more exceedingly."

⁵⁶ And her parents were amazed, yet He charges them to tell no one what has occurred."

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. ² This shall come to be the law of the leprous man in the day of his cleansing; when the matter is brought before the priest, ³ then the priest will go forth outside the camp. When the priest examines, and behold, the contagion of leprous disease is healed in the leprous man, ⁴ then the priest will instruct that they take for the one cleansing himself two living clean birds and cedar wood, double-dipped crimson yarn and hyssop. ⁵ The priest will instruct that they slay one bird in an earthenware vessel over live water. ⁶ Then he shall take the living bird, it and the cedar wood, the double-dipped crimson yarn and the hyssop, and he will dip them and the living bird into the blood of the bird slain over the live water. ⁷ Then he will spatter it seven times on the one cleansing himself from the leprous disease, and pronounce him clean. He will send the living bird free over the surface of the field. ⁸ The one cleansing himself will rinse his garments and shave off all his hair and wash in water; then he will be clean. Afterward he may come into the camp, yet he will dwell outside his tent seven days. ⁹ Then it will come to be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair from his head, his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave off; when he has rinsed his garments and bathed his flesh in water, then he will be clean. ¹⁰ On the eighth day he shall take two flawless he-lambs, and one flawless ewe lamb, a year old, three tenths of an ephah of flour, an approach present mingled with oil, and one log of oil. ¹¹ The priest pronouncing the man clean will cause them and the one cleansing himself to stand before Yahweh at the opening of the tent of appointment. ¹² Then the priest will take one he-lamb and bring it near as a guilt offering with the log of oil and wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh. ¹³ He will slay the he-lamb in the place where he slays the sin offering and the ascent offering in the holy place, for like the sin offering, the guilt offering, it is for the priest; it is a holy of holies. ¹⁴ The priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering, and the priest will put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one cleansing himself, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. ¹⁵ Then the priest will take some of the log of oil and pour it on the priest's left palm. ¹⁶ The priest will dip his right finger into the oil which is on his left palm and spatter some of the oil with his finger seven times before Yahweh. ¹⁷ Some of the oil which is left on his palm the priest shall put on the lobe of the right ear of the one cleansing himself, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot, over the blood of the guilt offering. ¹⁸ And the rest of the oil which is on the palm of the priest shall he put on the head of the one cleansing himself. Thus the priest will make a propitiatory shelter over him before Yahweh. ¹⁹ Then the priest will make the sin offering, make a propitiatory shelter over the one cleansing himself from his uncleanness, and afterward slay the ascent offering. ²⁰ The priest will bring up the ascent offering and the approach present on the altar before Yahweh. When the priest makes a propitiatory shelter over him, then he will be clean. ²¹ If he is poor and his hand cannot afford it then he will take one he-lamb as a guilt offering for a wave offering to make a propitiatory shelter over him, one tenth of an ephah of flour mingled with oil for an approach present, a log of oil, ²² and two turtledoves or two dove squabs whichever his hand can afford. One will come to be a sin offering and the other an ascent offering. ²³ He will bring them on the eighth day, for his cleansing, to the priest at the opening of the tent of appointment before Yahweh. ²⁴ And the priest will take the he-lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest will wave them as a wave offering before Yahweh. ²⁵ Then he will slay the he-lamb of the guilt offering; the priest will take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one cleansing himself, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot. ²⁶ Some of the oil the priest shall pour on the priest's left palm; ²⁷ and the priest will spatter with his right finger some of the oil which is on his left palm seven times before Yahweh. ²⁸ Then the priest will put some of the oil which is on his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one cleansing himself, on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot on the same place as the blood of the guilt offering. ²⁹ And the rest of the oil which is on the palm of the priest he shall put on the head of the one cleansing himself to make a propitiatory shelter over him before Yahweh. ³⁰ He will offer one of the turtledoves or of the dove squabs from whichever his hand can afford. ³¹ Of that which his hand can afford the one is for a sin offering and the other for an ascent offering along with the approach present. Thus the priest will make a propitiatory shelter over the one cleansing himself before Yahweh. ³² This is the law for one in whom is the contagion of leprous disease whose hand cannot afford more for his cleansing.

⁴ And Jesus is saying to him, "See that you may tell it to no one, but go away; show yourself to the priest and bring the approach present which Moses bids, for a testimony to them."

² saying, "On Moses' seat are seated the scribes and the Pharisees." ³ All, then, whatever they should be saying to you, do and keep it. Yet according to their acts do not be doing, for they are saying and not doing."

¹⁴ And He charges him to be speaking to no one. "But come away, show yourself to the priest, and bring for your cleansing, according as Moses bids, for a testimony to them."

¹⁴ And, perceiving it, He said to them, "Go, exhibit yourselves to the priests.And at their going away, it came to be that they are cleansed."

⁴ For whatever was written before, was written for this teaching of ours, that through the endurance and the consolation of the scriptures we may have expectation."

¹¹ Now all this befalls them typically. Yet it was written for our admonition, to whom the consummations of the eons have attained."

¹¹ I shall remember all the activity of Yah; Indeed I shall remember Your marvelous works from aforetime.

¹⁵ Now they, getting the silver pieces, do according as they were taught. And this word is blazed abroad by the Jews unto today."

¹ And, entering again into Capernaum during these days, it is heard that He is in a house." ² And immediately many were gathered, so that by no means was there still room, not even at the door. And He spoke to them the word."

¹³ And He came out again beside the sea. And the entire throng came to Him, and He taught them."

⁷ And Jesus, with His disciples, retires to the sea. And a vast multitude from Galilee follows Him."

¹⁵ Yet rather the account concerning Him passed through, and vast throngs came together to hear and to be cured by Him of their infirmities." ¹⁶ Now He was retreating in the wilderness and praying. ¹⁷ And it occurred on one of the days, that He was teaching, and the Pharisees and the teachers of the law were sitting, who were come out of every village of Galilee and of Judea and Jerusalem. And there was power of the Lord for their healing."

² Now there followed Him a vast throng, for they beheld the signs which He did on the infirm."

¹⁰ For many are insubordinate, vain praters and imposters, especially those of the Circumcision,
