Luke 9 Cross References - Etheridge

¹ AND Jeshu called his twelve, and gave them power and authority over all demons and diseases, to heal. ² And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of Aloha, and to heal the diseased. ³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver; nor two tunics shall you have. ⁴ And into whatever house you enter, there be, and from thence go forth. ⁵ And whoever will not receive you, when you depart from that city the dust also from your feet shake off as a testimony against them. ⁶ And the apostles went forth and itinerated in the villages and the cities, and evangelized and healed in every place. ⁷ But Herodes, Tetrarka, heard all that was done by his hand, and was astonished; for men said that Juchanon had risen from the house of the dead. ⁸ But others said that Elia had appeared, and others that a prophet from the former prophets had risen. ⁹ And Herodes said, The head of Juchanon I have cut off; but who is this of whom I hear these (things)? And he willed to see him. ¹⁰ And when the apostles returned, they showed Jeshu all that they had done. And he took them by themselves to a desert place of Bethtsaida. ¹¹ But the multitudes, when they knew it, went after him, and he received them, and discoursed to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha. And those who had need of healing he healed. ¹² BUT when the day began to decline, the disciples drew near and said to him, Send away the multitudes, that they may go to the villages and hamlets that are around, to lodge in them and to find for themselves victuals, because we are in a desert place. ¹³ Jeshu said to them, Give you them to eat. But they said, We have nothing more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all this people: ¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. Jeshu said to them, Make them recline in reclining companies, fifty men in a company. ¹⁵ And the disciples did so. And they all reclined. ¹⁶ And Jeshu took those five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed and brake and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the multitude. ¹⁷ And all did eat and were filled. And they took up fragments which abounded, twelve baskets. ¹⁸ AND as he was praying alone, and his disciples with him, he asked them and said, What say concerning me the multitude, that I am? ¹⁹ They answered and say to him, Juchanon the Baptizer; and others that (thou art) Elia; but others that a prophet from the former prophets hath arisen. ²⁰ He saith to them, But what do you say that I am? Shemun answered and said, The Meshicha of Aloha! ²¹ But he forbade them and cautioned them that this they should tell no man. ²² And he told them how it was to be (that) he the Son of man should suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and Sophree, and (that) they would kill him; and that on the third day he would arise. ²³ And he said before all, Whoever willeth to come after me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and come after me. ²⁴ For whoever willeth to save his life, loseth it; but whoever (is willing) to lose his life, for my sake, he saveth it. ²⁵ For what is helped a son of man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul, or perish? ²⁶ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. ²⁷ THE truth I say to you, that some who are standing here shall not taste death, until they have seen the kingdom of Aloha. ²⁸ And it was after these words about eight days, that Jeshu took Shemun and Jakub and Juchanon, and went up into a mountain to pray. ²⁹ And while he prayed, the appearance of his countenance was changed, and his garments became white and shone. ³⁰ And, behold, two men talked with him, who were Musha and Elia, ³¹ who appeared in glory; but they spake concerning his going forth which should be accomplished at Urishlem. ³² And Shemun, and they who were with him, had been heavy with sleep, and were scarcely awaked when [Compare the use of the vau in Eph 1:20.] they saw his glory and those two men who stood with him. ³³ And when they began to depart from him, Shemun said to Jeshu, Rabi, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one. But he knew not what he said. ³⁴ And as he spoke these (words) there was a cloud which shadowed over them, and they feared when they saw that Musha and Elia entered into the cloud. ³⁵ And the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, Him hear. ³⁶ And when the voice had been, Jeshu was found alone. And they were silent, and told no man in those days what they had seen. ³⁷ AND the day after when they had descended from the mountain, a great multitude met them. ³⁸ And a certain man from the multitude cried and said, Malphona, I beseech thee, turn unto me; (there is) my son, my only one, ³⁹ and a spirit passeth upon him, and he suddenly crieth, and gnasheth his teeth, and lacerateth, and hardly removeth from him when he hath bruised him. ⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not. ⁴¹ Then Jeshu answered and said, Ah generation unbelieving and perverse! how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring thy son hither. ⁴² And as they brought him near, the devil cast him down and bruised him: and Jeshu rebuked that unclean spirit and healed the youth and gave him to his father. And they all wondered at the majesty [Rabutha.] of Aloha. ⁴³ And while every one wondered at all which Jeshu did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ Treasure these words in your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men. ⁴⁵ But they understood not that saying, because it was hidden from them that they should not know it: and they feared to ask of him concerning that saying. ⁴⁶ And there entered among them the thought, Who should be greatest among them? ⁴⁷ But Jeshu knew the thought of their heart; and he took a child and made him stand with him. ⁴⁸ And he said to them, Every one who receiveth a child like this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever receiveth me, he receiveth Him who sent me. For he who is least among you, he shall be greatest. ⁴⁹ And Juchanon answered and said, Raban,[Our Master.] we saw a man who was casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he came not with us after thee. ⁵⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for he who is not against us, he is for us. ⁵¹ AND it was that when the days were fulfilled for his Assumption, he directed his face to go to Urishlem. ⁵² And he sent messengers before his face, and they went and entered into a village of the Shomroyee, so as to prepare for him. ⁵³ And they would not receive him, because his face unto Urishlem was set to go. ⁵⁴ And when Jacub and Juchanon his disciples saw it, they say to him, Maran,[Our Lord.] art thou willing that we call fire to descend from heaven to consume them, as Elia did? ⁵⁵ But he turned and reproved them, and said, You know not of what spirit you are: ⁵⁶ for the Son of man is not come to destroy lives, but to save. And they went to another village. ⁵⁷ And while they went in the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee to the place whither thou goest, my Lord. ⁵⁸ Jeshu saith to him, The foxes have holes and the fowls of the heaven a shadow, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ⁵⁹ And he said to another, Come after me. But he said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go bury my father. ⁶⁰ Jeshu said to him, Leave the dead burying their dead; and thou, go and preach the kingdom of Aloha. ⁶¹ And another said to him, I will come after thee, my Lord, but first permit me to go to salute the sons of my house, and I will come. ⁶² Jeshu saith to him, No man putting his hand upon the coulter of the yoke, and looking behind him, is fit for the kingdom of Aloha.

¹ And he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and infirmity. ² Now, of the twelve apostles the names are these: the first of them, Shemun who is called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jakubbar-Zabdai, and Juchanon his brother, ³ and Philipos, and Bar-Tholmai, and Thoma, and Mathai the tribute-gatherer, and Jakubbar-Chalphai, and Labi who was surnamed Thadai, ⁴ and Shemun the zealous,[Kenanaia.] and Jihuda S'carjuta, he who betrayed him. ⁵ These twelve Jeshu sent, and commanded them and said, In the way of the heathens go not, and into the city of the Shomroyee do not enter;

¹⁹ To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall be loosed in heaven.

¹³ AND he ascended a mountain, and called those whom he willed; and they came to him. ¹⁴ And he chose twelve to be with him, and to send them to preach, ¹⁵ and to have authority to heal diseases and to cast out devils. ¹⁶ And he named to Shemun the name of Kipha; ¹⁷ and upon Jacub bar Zabdai, and Juchanon the brother of Jacub, he set the name of B'nai-regesh, which is, (B'nai-râmo,) Sons of thunder. ¹⁸ And Andreas, and Philipos, and Bar-Thulmai, and Mathai, and Thoma, and Jacub bar Chalphai, and Thadai, and Shemun the Zealous, ¹⁹ and Jihuda S'carjuta, - he who betrayed him. And they came to the house:

⁷ AND he itinerated through the villages, teaching. And he called his twelve, and began to send them two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out. ⁸ And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses; ⁹ but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics. ¹⁰ And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence. ¹¹ And every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony. And Amen I say to you, That it shall be more tolerable for Sadum and for Amura in the day of the judgment, than for that city. ¹² And they went forth, and preached that they should repent. ¹³ And many devils they cast out, and anointed with oil the sick, and healed many.

¹⁷ And these signs shall follow those who believe: In my name they shall cast out devils, and with new tongues shall they speak; ¹⁸ and serpents they shalt take up; and if the poison of death they drink, it shall not hurt them; and their hands shall they lay upon the sick, and they shall be healed.

¹³ And when the day brake, he called his disciples, and chose from them twelve, those whom he named Apostles, ¹⁴ - Shemun, he whose name was Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and Philipos, and Bar Tholmai, ¹⁵ and Mathai, and Thoma, and Jakub bar Chalphai, and Shemun who was called the Zealous, ¹⁶ and Jihuda bar Jakub, and Jihuda Scaruta,[Or, S'karjuta.] he who was the traitor.

¹⁹ Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

¹² Amen, amen, I say to you, That whosoever believeth in me, these works that I do shall he do also; and more than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.

⁸ but when the Spirit of Holiness hath come upon you, you shall receive power to be made unto me the witnesses, in Urishlem and in all Jehud, and also among the Shomroyee, and unto the confines of the earth.

¹⁴ BUT after Juchanon was delivered up,[Or, perfected.] Jeshu came to Galila, and proclaimed the annunciation of the kingdom of Aloha. ¹⁵ And he said, The time is complete; the kingdom of Aloha cometh: repent, and believe the gospel.[Or, the annunciation.]

¹² And they went forth, and preached that they should repent.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Go into all the world, and proclaim my gospel to every creature:

¹¹ But the multitudes, when they knew it, went after him, and he received them, and discoursed to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha. And those who had need of healing he healed.

¹ AFTER these Jeshu separated from his disciples seventy others, and sent them by two and two before his face to every place and city whither he was himself to come.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.

³ how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed, ⁴ when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts [Distributions, or dividings.] of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.

⁹ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, ¹⁰ nor a wallet for the road; neither two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff: for worthy is the workman of his meat. ¹¹ And into whatsoever city or town you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and there be till you depart. ¹² And when you enter into the house, invoke peace for the house; ¹³ and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace upon yourselves shall revert. ¹⁴ But whosoever doth not receive you or hear your words, when you depart from that house, or that town, set free the dust from your feet.

⁸ And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; not a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses; ⁹ but be shod with sandals, and not to be clothed with two tunics. ¹⁰ And he said to them, Into whatsoever house you enter, there be until you go forth from thence. ¹¹ And every one who will not receive you, nor hear you, when you are going out from thence, beat off the dust that is beneath your feet for their testimony.

⁴ Take with you neither purses, nor bags, nor sandals, neither with the salutation (shaloma) shall you salute any man in the way. ⁵ But into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to the house! [Sholoma lebaitha.] ⁶ And if a son of peace be there, your peace shall descend upon him; but if not, your peace upon you shall return. ⁷ But in that house be, eating and drinking of theirs: for worthy is the labourer of his hire. And remove not from house to house. ⁸ And into whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set to you. ⁹ And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha. ¹⁰ But if any city which you enter will not receive you, go you out into the street and say, ¹¹ Even the dust which cleaveth to our feet from your city we shake off against you; nevertheless know this, that hath come nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha. ¹² I tell you that for Sadum it shall be more tolerable in that day than for that city.

²² And he said to his disciples, Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for yourselves, what you shall eat; neither for the body, how you shall dress:

⁵³ And they would not receive him, because his face unto Urishlem was set to go. ⁵⁴ And when Jacub and Juchanon his disciples saw it, they say to him, Maran,[Our Lord.] art thou willing that we call fire to descend from heaven to consume them, as Elia did? ⁵⁵ But he turned and reproved them, and said, You know not of what spirit you are: ⁵⁶ for the Son of man is not come to destroy lives, but to save.

¹⁵ so that into the streets they brought forth the diseased lying on beds, that, when Shemun should come, even his shadow might overshadow them.

¹ In that time Herodes Tetrarka heard the rumour concerning Jeshu; ² and he said to his servants, This is Juchanon the Baptizer: he hath risen from the house of the dead, therefore powerful works are wrought by him. ³ For he, Herodes, had seized Juchanon, and bound him, and cast him (into) the house of the chained, because of Herodia the wife of Philip his brother. ⁴ For Juchanon had said to him, It is not lawful that she should be to thee a wife. ⁵ And he would have killed him, but he feared the people, because as a prophet they held him. ⁶ But at the birth-day of Herodes, the daughter of Herodia danced before those who reclined, and she pleased Herodes; ⁷ wherefore with an oath he sware to her to give her whatever she should demand. ⁸ Then she, because instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of Juchanon the Baptizer. ⁹ And the king sickened, yet, on account of the oath and the guests, he commanded that it should be given to her. ¹⁰ And he sent [and] cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the chained. ¹¹ And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the girl, and she carried it herself to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came near, took up his corpse, buried (it), and came and showed Jeshu.

¹⁴ AND Herodes the king heard concerning Jeshu, for his name had become known; and he said, Juchanon the Baptizer hath risen from among the dead; [The house of the dead.] therefore works of power [Powers.] are wrought by him. ¹⁵ Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets. ¹⁶ But when Herodes heard, he said, It is Juchanon whom I beheaded; he hath risen from [The house of the dead.] among the dead. ¹⁷ For Herodes had sent and had taken Juchanon, and had cast him into the house of the bound, on account of Herodia, wife of Philipos his brother, whom he had taken. ¹⁸ For Juchanon had said to Herodes, It is not lawful to thee to take the wife of thy brother. ¹⁹ But Herodia herself was adverse to him, and wished to kill him, but she could not. ²⁰ For Herodes feared Juchanon, because he knew that he was a man righteous and holy, and he protected him, and was many (times) hearing him, doing, and hearing him favourably. ²¹ And there was a notable day when Herodes, in the house of his nativity, (b'beth yaldeh,) made a feast to his chiefs and kiliarchs [Kiliarkee.] and the heads of Galila; ²² and the daughter of Herodia came in (and) danced; and she pleased Herodes and them who reclined with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee. ²³ And he sware to her, Whatever thou shalt ask (of) me, I will give thee, unto the dividing of my kingdom. ²⁴ Then went she out and said to her mother, What shall I ask of him? She saith to her, The head of Juchanon the Baptizer. ²⁵ And immediately she entered with solicitude unto the king, and saith to him, I will this hour that thou give me, upon a dish, the head of Juchanon the Baptizer. ²⁶ And greatly grieved was the king; but, for the sake of the oath, and the sake of the guests,[Recliners.] he could not deprive [Or, defraud.] her. ²⁷ But the king despatched at once a sentinel, and commanded that he should bring the head of Juchanon. And he went and cut off the head of Juchanon in the house of the bound, ²⁸ and brought (it) in a dish and gave to the damsel, and the damsel herself gave to her mother.

¹ NOW in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberios Cesar, in the government of Pontios Pilatos in Jehud, Herodes being chief [Risha-rabioya.] of the Fourth in Galila, and Philipos his brother chief of the Fourth in Ituria and in the region of Trakona, and Lusania chief of the Fourth of Abilini;

¹⁹ They answered and say to him, Juchanon the Baptizer; and others that (thou art) Elia; but others that a prophet from the former prophets hath arisen.

²⁵ And there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and on earth distress of nations, and smiting of hands from astonishment at the voice of the sea,

¹⁰ And the disciples asked and said to him, Why therefore say the scribes that Elia must come first?

¹⁵ Others said, He is Elia; and others, A prophet as one from the prophets.

²⁸ But they answered, That (thou art) Juchanon the Baptizer; and others, that (thou art) Elia; and others, one from the prophets.

²¹ And they asked him again, What then? art thou Elia? And he said, I am not. Art thou the Prophet? And he said, No.

³¹ In that day came men from the Pharishee, saying to him, Remove, go from hence, because Herodes desireth to kill thee. ³² Jeshu saith to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected.

⁸ And Herodes, when he saw Jeshu, was very glad; for he had desired to see him of a great time: for he had heard concerning him many things, and hoped that some sign he should see from him.

²¹ saying, Woe to thee, Korazin! woe to thee, Bethtsaida! for if in Tsur and in Tsaidon those miracles had been done which have been performed in you, they would a while ago in sackcloth and ashes have repented.

¹³ Then Jeshu, when he heard, removed from thence by ship to a desert place by himself; and when the multitude heard it, they came after him on dry land from the cities. ¹⁴ And Jeshu came forth, and saw great multitudes, and felt compassion for them, and healed their diseases. ¹⁵ BUT when it was eventide, his disciples approached him, and said to him, The place is desert, and the time passed over; send away these multitudes of men, that they may go to the villages, and buy for themselves food. ¹⁶ But he said to them, It is not needful that they should go; give you them to eat. ¹⁷ They said to him, We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes. ¹⁸ Jeshu said to them, Bring them hither to me. ¹⁹ And he directed the multitudes to recline upon the ground; and he took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples themselves placed (it) before the multitudes. ²⁰ And all did eat, and were satisfied; and they took up, of the abundance of the fragments, twelve baskets when full. ²¹ Now those men who had eaten were five thousand, besides women and children.

⁷ Who is this uttering blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but One, Aloha?

³⁰ AND the disciples gathered unto Jeshu, and told him all whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. ³¹ And he said to them, Come and let us go into the desert alone, and rest a little while; for there were multitudes going and coming, (so that) they had not space even to eat; ³² and they went to a wilderness district in a vessel by themselves. ³³ And many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before him. ³⁴ And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. ³⁵ And when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great; ³⁶ send them away to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. ³⁷ But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes. ³⁹ And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage; ⁴⁰ and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all, ⁴² and they all did eat and were satisfied. ⁴³ And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes. ⁴⁴ Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men. ⁴⁵ And immediately he constrained his disciples to ascend into the bark, and to go before him across to Beth-tsaida, while he dismissed the assemblies;

¹⁰ And when the apostles returned, they showed Jeshu all that they had done. And he took them by themselves to a desert place of Bethtsaida. ¹¹ But the multitudes, when they knew it, went after him, and he received them, and discoursed to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha. And those who had need of healing he healed. ¹² BUT when the day began to decline, the disciples drew near and said to him, Send away the multitudes, that they may go to the villages and hamlets that are around, to lodge in them and to find for themselves victuals, because we are in a desert place. ¹³ Jeshu said to them, Give you them to eat. But they said, We have nothing more than five loaves and two fishes, unless we go and buy food for all this people: ¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. Jeshu said to them, Make them recline in reclining companies, fifty men in a company. ¹⁵ And the disciples did so. And they all reclined. ¹⁶ And Jeshu took those five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven and blessed and brake and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the multitude. ¹⁷ And all did eat and were filled. And they took up fragments which abounded, twelve baskets.

¹⁷ And the seventy whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name.

⁴⁴ Now Philipos was from Beth-tsaida, from the city of Andreas and of Shemun.

⁵ And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take. ⁸ Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha, ⁹ There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all? ¹⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Make all the men recline; for there was much herbage in that place. And the men reclined, in number five thousand. ¹¹ And Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and divided unto those who reclined, and likewise also of the fishes, as much as they willed. ¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that abound, that nothing be lost; ¹³ and they gathered and filled twelve baskets of fragments, those which abounded unto them who had eaten of the five loaves of barley.

¹⁷ Be persuaded by your leaders, and obey them; for they watch for your souls as men who must render an account of you, that with joy they may do this, and not with groans; for that is not profitable for you.

¹⁴ And Jeshu came forth, and saw great multitudes, and felt compassion for them, and healed their diseases.

³¹ Which of these two did the will of his father? They say to him, The elder. Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, the tribute-takers and harlots go before you into the kingdom of Aloha.

⁴³ On this account I tell you, that the kingdom of Aloha is taken from you, and shall be given to a people who will yield fruits.

³³ And many saw them as they went, and knew them; and into the waste ran they from all the cities, and were there before him. ³⁴ And Jeshu coming forth beheld the great assemblies, and had compassion upon them, they being like sheep which had no shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

⁵³ The hungry he hath satisfied with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.

³¹ Jeshu answered and said to them, The whole do not require the physician, but they who are grievously ill.

¹ AND it was after these things that Jeshu itinerated among the cities and villages, and preached and announced the kingdom of Aloha, and his twelve with him,

¹⁰ But he said to them, To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Aloha; but to those who are the rest in similitudes is it spoken; that while seeing they may not see, and while hearing they may not understand.

² And he sent them to proclaim the kingdom of Aloha, and to heal the diseased.

³⁴ Jeshu saith to them, My meat is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁷ Every one whom the Father hath given me, unto me will come; and him who unto me shall come, I will not cast out.

³¹ And he preached concerning the kingdom of Aloha, and taught with confidence concerning our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, none forbidding.

¹⁴ How then shall they invoke him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? Or how shall they hear without a preacher?

¹⁷ Therefore faith is from the hearing of the ear, and the hearing of the ear from the word of Aloha.

³ Because the Meshiha also pleased not himself; but as it is written, the reproach of thy reproachers hath fallen upon me.

² preach the word, and stand with diligence in season, and (that) which is not season; confute, and rebuke with all prolongedness of mind and doctrine.

¹⁶ Let us therefore approach with confidence [With revealed eye.] to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy,[Mercies.] and find grace for help in the time of affliction.

²³ But he did not return her an answer. And the disciples approached and requested from him, saying, Dismiss her, for she crieth after us.

³² BUT Jeshu himself called his disciples, and said to them, I have pity for this multitude, who, behold, for three days have continued with me, but there is nothing for them to eat; and to send them away fasting, I am unwilling, lest they should faint in the way.

³⁵ And when much time had passed, the disciples came to him and said to him, This place is waste, and the time is great; ³⁶ send them away to go to the farms around us and into the villages, and buy for themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. ³⁷ But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes. ³⁹ And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage; ⁴⁰ and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties. ⁴¹ And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and those two fishes they divided among them all, ⁴² and they all did eat and were satisfied. ⁴³ And they took up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes. ⁴⁴ Now they who had eaten bread were five thousand men.

¹ AFTER these Jeshu went over the Sea of Galila of Tiberios,

⁵ And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take. ⁸ Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha, ⁹ There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all? ¹⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Make all the men recline; for there was much herbage in that place. And the men reclined, in number five thousand. ¹¹ And Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and divided unto those who reclined, and likewise also of the fishes, as much as they willed. ¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that abound, that nothing be lost; ¹³ and they gathered and filled twelve baskets of fragments, those which abounded unto them who had eaten of the five loaves of barley. ¹⁴ But those men, when they had seen the sign which Jeshu had wrought, said, Truly this is the Prophet that cometh into the world. ¹⁵ But when Jeshu knew that they were about to come to seize him and make him the King, he passed away to a mountain alone.

¹⁶ But he said to them, It is not needful that they should go; give you them to eat. ¹⁷ They said to him, We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes.

³⁷ But he said to them, Give you them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy bread for two hundred dinoreen, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But he said, Go see how many loaves you have here; and when they had seen, they said to him, Five loaves and two fishes.

⁵ And Jeshu lifted up his eyes, and saw the great assembly which had come to him; and he said to Philipos, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ But this he said trying him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philipos saith to him, Two hundred dinoreen of bread is not sufficient for them, that a little every one of them may take. ⁸ Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha, ⁹ There is here a certain youth, who hath with him five cakes of barley and two fishes; but these what are they for these all?

³⁹ And he directed that they should make them all recline in companies upon the herbage; ⁴⁰ and they reclined in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.

⁶ and he directed the multitudes to recline upon the ground, and he took those seven loaves, and blessed and brake and gave to his disciples that they should set, and they set before the assemblies.

⁴⁰ but let every thing be done with decency and in order.

¹⁹ And he directed the multitudes to recline upon the ground; and he took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples themselves placed (it) before the multitudes.

³⁶ And he took those seven loaves and the fishes, and offered praise, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes;

³⁴ And he looked up to heaven, and sighed, and said to him, Be opened: [Ethphátach.]

¹⁹ And he took bread, and praised, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body which for you is given: this do in my memory.[Hono phagri d'all aphaikun methyiheb, hode' vaithun obdin ledukroni.]

³⁰ And it was that, while he reclined with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.

¹¹ And Jeshu took the bread, and blessed, and divided unto those who reclined, and likewise also of the fishes, as much as they willed.

²³ but there came other boats from Tiberios near the place, where they did eat bread when Jeshu had blessed.

³⁵ And when these he had said, he took bread, and praised Aloha before them all, and he broke and began to eat.

⁶ He who thinketh of the day, to his Lord he thinketh; and every one who thinketh not of the day, unto his Lord he thinketh not (of it). He who eateth, to his Lord he eateth, and to Aloha giveth thanks; and he who eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to Aloha.

³⁰ But if I use (these things) by grace, why am I calumniated concerning that for which I give thanks?

²⁴ and he blessed and brake, and said, Take, eat, this (is) my body which for you is broken: so do to my remembrance.

⁴ because every creature of Aloha is good, and nothing to be abominated, if with thanksgiving it be received; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of Aloha, and by prayer.

³⁷ and they all did eat and were satisfied: and they took up of the abundance of fragments seven baskets full. ³⁸ And they who had eaten, were four thousand men, besides women and children.

⁹ Have you not yet understood? Do you not remember those five loaves for the five thousand, and how many panniers you took up? ¹⁰ Or those seven loaves and the four thousand, and how many baskets you took up?

⁸ And they all ate and were satisfied, and took up the abundancies of the fragments, seven panniers. ⁹ Now the men who had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them,

¹⁹ When those five loaves I brake to five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up? They said to him, Twelve. ²⁰ He saith to them. And when seven to four thousand, how many panniers of fragments when filled took you up? They say, Seven.

¹⁸ But I have received every thing, I abound; and am full; and I have accepted all that you sent me by Epaphroditos, a sweet fragrance and a sacrifice, acceptable, which pleaseth Aloha. ¹⁹ And my God shall supply all your necessity, according to his riches in the glory of Jeshu Meshiha.

¹³ NOW when Jeshu had come to the place of Cesarea of Philipos, he questioned his disciples, saying, What do men say concerning me who am the Son of man? ¹⁴ They said to him, Some say that thou art Juchanon the Baptizer, but others Elia, and others Eramia, or one from the prophets. ¹⁵ He saith to them, But you, whom say you that I am? ¹⁶ Shemun Kipha answered and said, Thou art the Meshicha, Son of Aloha the Living.

³⁶ Then cometh Jeshu with them unto the place which is called Gedsiman; and he said to his disciples, Sit here while I go and pray.

²⁷ And Jeshu went forth and his disciples into the villages of Kesarea of Philipos, and he interrogated his disciples by the way, saying to them, What say men concerning me that I am? ²⁸ But they answered, That (thou art) Juchanon the Baptizer; and others, that (thou art) Elia; and others, one from the prophets. ²⁹ Jeshu said to them, But you, what say you concerning me that I am? Shemun Kipha answered and said to him, Thus art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living. ³⁰ And he charged them that to any one they should not tell concerning him.

¹ AND it was that while he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Our Lord, teach us to pray as also Juchanon taught his disciples.

³⁹ And he came forth, and went, as he was used, to the mount of the Place of Olives; and his disciples also went after him. ⁴⁰ And when come unto the spot, he said to them, Pray that you enter not into temptation. ⁴¹ And he removed from them as (about the distance of) a stone's throw, and bowed the knee, and prayed,

² and he said to his servants, This is Juchanon the Baptizer: he hath risen from the house of the dead, therefore powerful works are wrought by him.

⁷ But Herodes, Tetrarka, heard all that was done by his hand, and was astonished; for men said that Juchanon had risen from the house of the dead. ⁸ But others said that Elia had appeared, and others that a prophet from the former prophets had risen.

²⁵ And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet?

⁴⁰ Now many of the assemblies who heard his words said, This is truly the Prophet.

¹⁷ They say again to the blind, What sayest thou concerning him, because he hath opened thine eyes? He saith to them, I say that he is the Prophet.

⁴⁷ And if you wish peace to your brethren only, what more do you than they? do not also the tribute-gatherers this?

¹⁵ He saith to them, But you, whom say you that I am? ¹⁶ Shemun Kipha answered and said, Thou art the Meshicha, Son of Aloha the Living. ¹⁷ Jeshu responded and said to him, Blessed art thou, Shemun-bar-Jona; because flesh and blood have not revealed (this) to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

⁴² and said, What say you concerning the Meshicha,-whose son [is he]? They say to him, Son of David.

⁶³ But Jeshu was silent. And the chief of the priests answered and said to him, I swear thee, by Aloha the Living, that thou declare to us whether thou be the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha?

²⁹ Jeshu said to them, But you, what say you concerning me that I am? Shemun Kipha answered and said to him, Thus art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living.

⁶¹ But Jeshu was silent, and answered him nothing. And again the chief of the priests demanded, and said, Art thou the Meshicha, the Son of the Blessed?[Meshicha Bareh dambarka.]

⁶⁷ saying to him, Art thou the Meshicha? tell us. He saith to them, Should I tell you, you would not believe me;

⁴¹ This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha;

⁴⁹ Nathanael answered and said to him, Rabi, thou art the Son of Aloha himself, thou art the very King of Isroel.

²⁹ Come, see a man who hath told me every thing that I have done: is not this the Meshicha?

⁴² And they said to the woman, Now not through thy word believe we in him; for we have heard and known that this is truly the Meshicha, the Saviour of the world.

⁶⁸ Shemun Kipha answered and said, My Lord, unto whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life; ⁶⁹ and we believe and know that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living.

⁴¹ Others said, This is the Meshicha. Others said, How from Galila cometh the Meshicha?

²⁷ She saith to him, Yes, my Lord; I believe that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, who cometh into the world.

³¹ but these are written, that you may believe that Jeshu is the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha, and that when you have believed you may have in his name the life which is eternal.

³⁶ And as they went in the way they came to a certain place which had water in it, and that eunuch said, Behold the water; what is the hinderance that I should be baptized?

²² BUT Shaol was the more strengthened, and moved those Jihudoyee who dwelt at Darmsuk, while he showed that this is the Meshiha.

³ expounding, and showing, That Meshiha was to suffer and to rise from the house of the dead, and he is Jeshu the Meshiha whom I preach to you.

¹ WHOSOEVER believeth that Jeshu is the Meshiha of Aloha is born. And every one who loveth the Generator loveth also him who is generated of him.

²⁰ Then he commanded his disciples that no man they should tell that he was the Meshicha.

⁹ And while they were descending from the mountain, Jeshu charged them, and said to them, Before no man declare this vision,* until the Son of man be risen from the dead.** [* To the eye of man tell not this vision. ** From (among) the dead: plural.]

³⁰ And he charged them that to any one they should not tell concerning him. ³¹ And he began to teach them, that it was to be that the Son of man should suffer much, and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests, and by the Sophree, and be killed, and that the third day he should arise!

²¹ AND from that time began Jeshu to show to his disciples that it was to be that he should go to Urishlem, and suffer much from the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day arise again. ²² Then Kipha took him (apart?) and began to expostulate with him, and said, Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee! ²³ But he turned and said to Kipha, Get thee behind me, Satana! thou art a stumbling-block to me, because thou thinkest not from Aloha, but from the sons of men! ²⁴ Then said Jeshu to his disciples. Whosoever willeth to come after me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever willeth to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it. ²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, if the whole world he shall acquire, and his soul shall perish? or what equivalent shall a man give for his soul? ²⁷ For it is to be, that the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his holy angels, and then shall he render unto every man according to his works. ²⁸ AMEN, I say unto you, There are men standing here who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹² but I say to you, that, behold, Elia hath come, but they knew him not, and have done to him as they would. So also is the Son of man to suffer from them.

²² WHEN they had returned into Galila, Jeshu said to them, It is coming that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men,

³¹ And he began to teach them, that it was to be that the Son of man should suffer much, and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests, and by the Sophree, and be killed, and that the third day he should arise!

³¹ And he taught his disciples, and told them, That the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him; and that when he was slain, on the third day he should arise.

³³ Behold, we go up to Urishlem; and the Son of man (will be) betrayed to the chief priests, and to the Sophree; and they shall condemn him to the death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles; ³⁴ and shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit in his face, and kill him: and the third day he shall arise.

⁴⁴ Treasure these words in your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men.

³¹ AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man. ³² For he will be delivered to the Gentiles; and they will deride him, and spit in his face, ³³ and will scourge him, and maltreat him, and kill him; and the third day he shall arise. ³⁴ But not one of these understood they: for this word [Or, doctrine.] was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.

⁷ and (when he) said, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men of sins, and he will be crucified, and (in) the third of the days he will arise.

²⁶ Was it not to be that these the Meshicha should suffer, and enter into his glory?

²⁵ And thou art he who hast spoken by the Spirit of Holiness in the mouth of David thy servant: Why rage the Heathen, and the peoples imagine vanity? ²⁶ The kings and powers of the earth arise and counsel together against the Lord, and against his Meshiha. ²⁷ For verily they are assembled in this city against thy holy Son Jeshu, whom thou hast anointed, - Herodes and Pilatos with the Gentiles and the synagogue of Israel, ²⁸ - to work whatsoever thy hand and thy will have signified before should be done.

²⁷ For they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written. ²⁸ And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might kill him. ²⁹ And when they had fulfilled every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

⁴ and that he was buried, and arose the third day, as it is written.

¹¹ and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them.

³⁸ And every one who taketh not his cross and cometh after me, is not worthy of me. ³⁹ Whosoever will find his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

²² Then Kipha took him (apart?) and began to expostulate with him, and said, Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee! ²³ But he turned and said to Kipha, Get thee behind me, Satana! thou art a stumbling-block to me, because thou thinkest not from Aloha, but from the sons of men! ²⁴ Then said Jeshu to his disciples. Whosoever willeth to come after me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross and follow me. ²⁵ For whosoever willeth to save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

³⁴ AND Jeshu called to the assemblies with his disciples, and said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and come after me. ³⁵ For every one who willeth to save his life shall lose it; and every one who shall lose his life on account of me and on account of my gospel, shall save it. ³⁶ For what is a man profited, if the whole world he gain, and his soul be lost? ³⁷ Or what shall a son of man give (as) the compensation for his soul? ³⁸ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this generation, sinful and adulterous, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

²⁶ Whoever cometh with me, and doth not hate his father and his mother, and his brethren and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and himself also, a disciple he cannot be of mine. ²⁷ And whoever doth not take up his cross and come after me, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

²⁵ He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal. ²⁶ If any man serve me, let him come after me; and where I am, there shall be also my servant: whoever serveth me, him will my Father honour.

¹³ For if after the flesh you live, you must die: but if, after the Spirit, the habitudes of the body you mortify, you live.

³⁰ And why also every hour are we standing in peril? ³¹ I asseverate, by your glorying, my brethren, which is mine in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that daily I die!

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, and passions, and evil desires, and covetousness, which itself is idolatry.

¹² But all they who will in the fear of Aloha to live in Jeshu Meshiha, are persecuted.

¹² and teacheth us to deny wickedness and the lusts of the world, and to live in this world in purity, and in rectitude, and in the fear of Aloha,

³³ Whoever willeth to save his life shall lose it, and whoever is willing to lose his life shall save it.

²⁵ He who loveth his life shall lose it; and he who hateth his life in this world shall keep it to the life which is eternal.

²³ Nevertheless, the Spirit of Holiness in every city testifieth to me and saith, that bonds and afflictions are for me. ²⁴ But by me my life is reckoned nothing, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry I have received from our Lord Jeshu, to bear witness concerning the gospel of the grace of Aloha.

³⁵ And they gave unto women their sons by the resurrection of the dead; and others in torments died, nor hoped to be delivered, that the better resurrection they might have.

¹⁰ Fear not any thing of those that thou art to suffer; for, behold, it will be that the accuser will cast some of you into prison, so that you may be tried; and you will have affliction ten days. Be faithful unto the death, and I will give thee the crown of life

¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of his testimony. But they loved not their lives unto death.

⁴⁸ And when it was full, they drew to the shore, and sat down, and selected; and the good they threw into vessels, and the bad they cast without.

⁵⁰ and cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth!

²⁶ For what shall a man be profited, if the whole world he shall acquire, and his soul shall perish? or what equivalent shall a man give for his soul?

³⁶ For what is a man profited, if the whole world he gain, and his soul be lost?

⁴³ But if thy hand offend thee,[Or, causeth offence to thee.] cut it off: better [Or, more tolerable.] for thee mutilated to go into life, than having two hands to go into gihana; ⁴⁴ where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot offend thee,[Or, causeth offence to thee.] cut it off: better for thee to go into life lame, than having two feet to fall into gihana: ⁴⁶ where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye offend thee,[Or, causeth offence to thee.] root it out: better for thee that with one eye thou enter the kingdom of Aloha, than having two eyes to fall into the gihana of fire: ⁴⁸ where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.

⁵ And Satana carried him up into a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the earth in a little time. ⁶ And the accuser [Akelkartsa.] said to him, To thee will I give all this power and the glory of it, which to me is delivered; and to whomsoever that I will, I give it unto him. ⁷ If therefore thou wilt worship before me, thine shall be all.

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul, My soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years: be at ease, eat, drink, and be merry. ²⁰ But Aloha said to him, Reasonless (man)! [Chasir reyona, wanting reason.] this night thy soul they shall require of thee; and then, (the things) which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? ²¹ So is he who layeth up to himself treasures, and towards Aloha is not rich.

²⁴ And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame. ²⁵ Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.

¹⁸ This is he who obtained the field with the wages of sin, and fell upon his face on the ground, and was severed in his middle, and all his bowels were shed forth.

²⁵ that he may receive the part in the ministry and the apostleship from which Jihuda separated, to go unto his place.

²⁷ but my body I subdue and make subservient, lest when to others I shall have preached, I my very self shall be rejected.

¹⁵ sons of malediction, who, forsaking the straight way, have erred, and gone in the way of Belam bar Beur, who the wages of iniquity loved. ¹⁶ But he had reproof of his transgression; (for) the dumb ass which spake with the voice of man rebuked the madness of the prophet. ¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven from above, unto whom the blackness of darkness is reserved.

⁷ How much she hath pleased herself to be wanton, all this give her suffering and sorrow. For she said in her heart, I sit the queen, and am not a widow, and sorrow I see not. ⁸ Therefore in one day will come these her plagues, death and sorrow and hunger; and in fire she will burn, for mighty is the Lord God who judgeth her.

²² Multitudes will say to me in that day My Lord, my Lord, in thy name have we not prophesied, and in thy name ejected devils, and in thy name performed many mighty works? ²³ And then will I confess to them, I never knew you; go far from me, ye workers of iniquity.

³² Every man, therefore, who shall confess me before the sons of men, I myself will confess him also before my Father who is in heaven. ³³ But whosoever shall deny me before the sons of men, I also will deny him, I, before my Father who is in heaven.

²⁷ For it is to be, that the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his holy angels, and then shall he render unto every man according to his works.

³⁰ And then shall be seen the standard of the Son of man in heaven, and then all the generations of the earth [Or, tribes of the land.] shall wail, and they shall see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven, with great power and glory. ³¹ And he shall send his angels with the great trumpet, and they shall gather the chosen who are his from the four winds and from the ends of heaven.[From the extremity of the heavens to their extremity.]

³¹ WHEN the Son of man cometh in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.

⁶⁴ Jeshu saith to him, Thou hast said: but I say to you, That hereafter ye shall see him, the Son of man, sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

³⁸ For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this generation, sinful and adulterous, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

⁸ But I tell you that every one who shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of Aloha. ⁹ But he who denieth me before men, I will deny him before the angels of Aloha.

²⁵ From the hour that the Lord of the house shall have risen up and have shut the door, you may stand without, knocking at the door, and may begin to say, Our Lord, our Lord, open to us! But he will answer and say, I tell you that I know not whence you are. ²⁶ And you shall begin to say, Before thee we have eaten and drunk, and in our streets thou hast taught. ²⁷ And he shall say to you, I know you not whence you are: depart from me, workers of falsity.

⁴⁴ How can you believe, who glory one from another are receiving, and the glory which is from one, Aloha, you seek not?

⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of Aloha.

¹⁶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Aloha for the salvation of all who believe in him, whether of the Jihudoyee first, or of the Aramoyee:

¹⁰ For this cause I am willing in infirmities, in reviling, in affliction, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of the Meshiha; for when I am weak, then am I strong.

¹⁴ But to me let it not be that I shall glory except in the cross of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, by which the world is crucified unto me, and I am crucified to the world.

⁸ when he executeth the punishment, with burning of fire, on them who have not known Aloha, and on them who have not acknowledged the gospel of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁹ For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ when he cometh to be glorified in his saints, and to show his wonders in his faithful ones, that our testimony that was concerning you may be believed in that day.

¹² on account of which I suffer these, and am not ashamed. I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that there is power in his hands my deposite to keep for me unto that day.

¹² and if we endure, we shall also reign with him; but, if we deny him, he also will deny us!

²⁶ and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward.

¹³ Therefore let us also go forth unto him without the camp, being, clothed with his ignominy.

¹⁴ And if you be reviled for the sake of the name of the Meshiha, you are happy; for the Spirit of the glory of Aloha resteth upon you. ¹⁵ Only, let no man of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as a doer of evils. ¹⁶ But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify Aloha in that very name.

¹⁴ But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds, and all eyes shall see him, and they also who transfixed [Dadaqruhi.] him; and for him shall mourn all the tribes of the earth. Yes, Amen!

⁵ He who overcometh shall be clothed in white vestments, and I will not blot their [Shemo dilhun.] name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat thereon, from whom from his face fled earth and heaven; and place (as) to this was not found for them.

⁸ But the fearful, and the faithless, and sinners, and the unclean, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and servers of idols, and all liars, (shall have) their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and sulphur; which is the second death.

²⁸ AMEN, I say unto you, There are men standing here who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹ AND he said to them, Amen I say to you, There are some who are standing here, who shall not taste death, until they shall have seen the kingdom of Aloha come with power.

²⁵ Amen I say to you, That again I will not drink from the fruit of the vine till that day in which I will drink it newly in the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁶ And it was said to him from the Spirit of Holiness, that he should not see death, until he had seen the Meshicha of the Lord.

¹⁸ for I tell you that I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Aloha shall have come.

⁵¹ Amen, amen, I say to you, That he who my word keepeth, death shall not see for ever. ⁵² The Jihudoyee say to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, that he who thy word keepeth, death shall not taste for ever.

⁵⁹ And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.

² Many are the mansions of my Father's house: and if not, I would have told you;

⁷ But I the truth say to you, That it is needful for you that I go; for if I go not, the Paraclete cometh not to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.

²² Jeshu saith to him, If I will that this wait until I come, what (is that) to thee? Come thou after me. ²³ And that word went forth among the brethren, that that disciple dieth not. But Jeshu did not say, He dieth not, but, If I will that this (man) wait until I come, what (is that) to thee?

⁹ But him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha,[Hu ger Aloho.] in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!

¹ And after six days, Jeshu took Kipha, and Jakub, and Juchanon his brother, and led them to a high mountain by themselves. ² And Jeshu was changed before them; and his countenance shone like the sun, and his vestments were resplendent as the light. ³ And there were seen with them Musha and Elia talking with him. ⁴ Then answered Kipha, and said to Jeshu, My Lord, it is good for us to be here; and if thou art willing, we will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Musha, and one for Elia. ⁵ But while he spake, behold, a bright cloud overspread them, and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted: to him attend. ⁶ And when the disciples heard, they fell upon their faces and feared greatly. ⁷ And Jeshu approached them and touched them, and said, Arise, fear not. ⁸ And they lifted up their eyes and saw no man, except Jeshu by himself. ⁹ And while they were descending from the mountain, Jeshu charged them, and said to them, Before no man declare this vision,* until the Son of man be risen from the dead.** [* To the eye of man tell not this vision. ** From (among) the dead: plural.] ¹⁰ And the disciples asked and said to him, Why therefore say the scribes that Elia must come first? ¹¹ Jeshu answered and said to them, Elia cometh first that he may fulfil every thing; ¹² but I say to you, that, behold, Elia hath come, but they knew him not, and have done to him as they would. So also is the Son of man to suffer from them. ¹³ Then understood the disciples that concerning Juchanon the Baptizer he spake to them.

³⁷ And he took Kipha and the two sons of Zabdai; and he began to be sorrowful, and to be vehemently agonized. ³⁸ And he said to them, My soul is afflicted unto death; wait for me here, and watch with me. ³⁹ And he removed a little, and fell upon his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as thou.

³⁵ AND in the morning he arose long before (day), and went into a solitude, and there prayed.

⁴⁶ and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray.

² And after six days Jeshu took Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and led them up to a high mountain by themselves. And he was altered before their eyes: ³ and his raiment shone, and became exceeding white as the snow; as the sons of man on earth could not make white. ⁴ And there were seen with them Musha and Elia discoursing with Jeshu. ⁵ And Kipha said to him, Rabi, it is good for us here to be: [Or, that here we may be.] and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one. ⁶ But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear. ⁷ And there was the cloud, and it shadowed over them: and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, him hear.[Hono Beri chabiba leh shamaii.] ⁸ And instantly, while the disciples looked, they saw no man, but Jeshu alone with them. ⁹ And while they were descending from the mountain, he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, until the Son of man should have arisen from the dead. ¹⁰ And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead. ¹¹ And they asked him, saying, How then say the Sophree that Elia must come before? ¹² He said to them, Elia doth come before, to restore [Or, to prepare.] all things; and how it is written concerning the Son of man, that much he should suffer, and be rejected. ¹³ But I tell you, Elia hath also come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written concerning him.

³³ And he took with him Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon, and began to be sorrowful and agonized. ³⁴ And he said to them, My soul is afflicted unto death; wait for me here, and be watchful. ³⁵ And he removed a little, and fell upon the earth, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, Father, my Father, thou canst (do) every thing, cause to pass from me this cup: but not my will, but thine.

²¹ But it was when he had baptized all the people, and also Jeshu he baptized. And while he prayed, the heavens were opened,

¹² BUT it was in those days that Jeshu went forth into a mountain to pray; and there remained he all night in the prayer of Aloha.

⁵¹ But Jeshu came to the house, and he suffered no man to enter with him, save Shemun, and Jakub, and Juchanon, and the father of the damsel, and her mother.

¹⁸ AND as he was praying alone, and his disciples with him, he asked them and said, What say concerning me the multitude, that I am?

¹ This is the third time that I prepare to come to you; and in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

⁷ When also with flesh he had been clothed, prayer and supplication, with a powerful cry, and with tears, he offered up unto Him who was able from death to revive him, and was heard.

² And Jeshu was changed before them; and his countenance shone like the sun, and his vestments were resplendent as the light.

² And after six days Jeshu took Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and led them up to a high mountain by themselves. And he was altered before their eyes: ³ and his raiment shone, and became exceeding white as the snow; as the sons of man on earth could not make white.

¹² After these things he appeared to two of them in another fashion as they walked and went to a village.

¹⁴ And the Word flesh was made, and tabernacled with us; and we saw his glory, the glory as of the one-begotten who (was) from the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁵ And all they who sat in the assembly looked upon him, and saw his face as the face of an angel.

⁷ But these things which were my gain, I have reckoned loss for the Meshiha; ⁸ and I also (still) reckon them all loss, for the grandeur [Rabutho.] of the knowledge of Jeshu Meshiha my Lord; for whose sake I have lost all things, and have reckoned as dung, that the Meshiha I may gain,

¹⁶ For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty. ¹⁷ For when he received from Aloha the Father honour and glory, while a voice came to him as this, after the glorious beauty of his majesty, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted; ¹⁸ we also this voice heard from heaven, as it came to him when we were with him in the holy mount.

¹³ And in the midst of the candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold. ¹⁴ But his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; and his eyes (were) as a flame of fire, ¹⁵ and his feet were like refined brass,* which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters. [* Nechosho Lebanonoio. The - of the Greek text.] ¹⁶ And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth a sharp sword of two edges went forth; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength.

³ And there were seen with them Musha and Elia talking with him. ⁴ Then answered Kipha, and said to Jeshu, My Lord, it is good for us to be here; and if thou art willing, we will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Musha, and one for Elia.

⁴ And there were seen with them Musha and Elia discoursing with Jeshu. ⁵ And Kipha said to him, Rabi, it is good for us here to be: [Or, that here we may be.] and let us make three tabernacles; for thee one, and for Musha one, and for Elia one. ⁶ But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear.

¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and the power of Elia the prophet, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and those who believe not to the knowledge of the righteous, and to prepare for the Lord a perfect people.

²⁷ And, beginning from Musha and all the prophets, he explained to them concerning himself from all the scriptures.

⁴⁴ And he said to them, These are the words that I spoke with you while I was with you, that every thing must be fulfilled which is written in the law of Musha, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.

¹⁷ For the law by the hand of Musha was given; but the truth and the grace were by Jeshu Meshicha.

²¹ But now, without the law the righteousness of Aloha is revealed, and the law and the prophets (themselves) testify of it. ²² But the righteousness of Aloha is by faith [Lit. "By the hand of faith."] of Jeshu Meshiha, unto all and also upon all who believe in him. For there is no distinction: ²³ for all have sinned, and have failed of the glory of Aloha;

⁷ But if the ministry of death in the writing engraven on stones was with glory, as that the sons of Israel could not look on the face of Musha because of the glory of his face which is abolished, ⁸ how much more then doth not the ministry Of the Spirit excel in glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation was glorious, how much more doth not the ministry of justification excel in glory? ¹⁰ For that which was glorified had no glory, in comparison of this excelling glory. ¹¹ For if that which was abolished was with glory, how much more shall that which endureth be with glory?

³ For greater is the glory of this (One) by far than (the glory) of Musha, even as the honour of him who built the house is far greater than [that of] his building. ⁴ For every house by some man is builded; but He who built all [things] is Aloha. ⁵ And Musha, as a servant, was faithful in all his house, for the testimony of those [things] that were to be announced by him; [By his hand.] ⁶ but the Meshiha as THE SON over his [own] house: and his house are we, if, unto the end, we shall hold fast our confidence,[Retain our openness of faces.] and the triumph [The glorying.] of his hope.

¹⁷ Elia also was a man of suffering, as we; and he prayed that the rain should not fall upon the earth, and it fell not (for) three years and six months. ¹⁸ And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth gave her fruits.

²² And he told them how it was to be (that) he the Son of man should suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and Sophree, and (that) they would kill him; and that on the third day he would arise.

³² Jeshu saith to them, Go, tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils and perform cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I am perfected. ³³ Nevertheless it behoveth me to-day and to-morrow to work and the (day) after I shall go; because it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Urishlem. ³⁴ Urishlem, Urishlem! killing the prophets, and stoning them that are sent to her, what times would I have gathered thy sons as the hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and you willed not!

²⁹ AND the day after, Juchanon seeth Jeshu, who was coming to him; and he said, Behold the Lamb of Aloha, who beareth the sin of the world!

²³ but we preach the Meshiha crucified, a scandal to the Jihudoyee, and to the Aramoyee foolishness; ²⁴ but to them who are called, Jihudoyee and Aramoyee, the Meshiha is the power of Aloha, and the wisdom of Aloha.

¹⁸ But we all with disclosed [Or, revealed.] faces behold the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, and into the resemblance of it are changed from brightness to brightness, as by the Lord the Spirit.

²¹ who will change the body of our abasement to make (it) in the fashion of his glorious body,[The body of his glory.] according to his great power, by which all is subjected unto him.

⁴ and when the Meshiha, who is our life, shall be manifested, then also will you be manifested with him in glory.

¹¹ and searched into, what time the Spirit of the Meshiha who dwelt in them showed and testified of the future sufferings of the Meshiha, and his glory which (should be) after them. ¹² And all that they searched was revealed to them; for not for themselves they inquired, but to us (and) of us [Lan dilan.] they prophesied those (blessings) which now are revealed to you by them who have preached to you [Or, evangelized you.] by the Spirit of Holiness which is sent from heaven; for into these themselves the angels also desire to look.

¹⁰ But the God of grace, who hath called us to his eternal glory by Jeshu Meshiha, will give to us while we endure these few afflictions to be strengthened, and confirmed, and established in him for ever.

¹⁵ But be careful also that (these) you may continually have; that also after my going forth the memorial of them you may observe.

⁶ And I saw, in the midst of the presbyters, a Lamb standing, as slain, who had seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of Aloha, which are sent forth to all the earth. ⁷ And he came and took the book from the right hand of him who sat upon the throne ⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four living-ones and the twenty and four presbyters fell down before the Lamb, having each of them an harp, and vials of gold full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints. ⁹ And they hymned a new hymn, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to Aloha by thy blood, from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. ¹⁰ And thou hast made them [Enun.] to our God kings and priests, and reigning upon the earth. ¹¹ And I saw and heard as the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living-ones, and the presbyters, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, ¹² which said with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing,

¹⁴ And I said to him, My lord, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they who have come from great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

⁴⁰ Then he came to his disciples, and found them sleeping; and he said to Kipha, How, could you not for one hour watch with me? ⁴¹ Be watchful and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is infirm. ⁴² Again he went the second time, and prayed, and said, My Father, if it be not possible for this cup to pass, unless I drink it, be done thy will! ⁴³ And he came again, and found them asleep; for their eyes had become heavy.

⁴⁵ And he arose from prayer, and came to his disciples, and found them asleep, from sorrow. ⁴⁶ And he said to them, Why sleep you? arise and pray, that you enter not into temptation.

²⁴ Father, those whom thou hast given I will that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see that glory of mine, which thou hast given to me; for thou lovedst me before the foundations of the world.

¹⁶ For it is not after fables which are made with art that we have gone, in making known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, but as we were spectators of his majesty.

² MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is.

⁴ And they shall see his face, and his name shall be upon their foreheads. ⁵ And night shall be no more: nor any need have they of the light of a lamp, or the light of the sun; for the Lord God enlighteneth them, and they will reign for ever and ever.

¹⁴ AND when they came to the multitude, a man approached him and kneeled upon his knees,

³⁸ But he said to them, You know not what you ask: can you drink the cup that I drink? and (with) the baptism that I am baptized (with) can you be baptized?

⁵ Shemun answered and said to him, Rabi, the whole night we have laboured and nothing have we taken; but at thy word I throw the net.

⁸ Philipos saith to him, Our Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

⁶ For Aloha, who said, Let light arise from darkness, hath arisen in our hearts; that we should be illuminated by the knowledge of the glory of Aloha in the face of Jeshu Meshiha.

⁵ But while he spake, behold, a bright cloud overspread them, and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted: to him attend. ⁶ And when the disciples heard, they fell upon their faces and feared greatly. ⁷ And Jeshu approached them and touched them, and said, Arise, fear not.

⁷ And there was the cloud, and it shadowed over them: and the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, him hear.[Hono Beri chabiba leh shamaii.] ⁸ And instantly, while the disciples looked, they saw no man, but Jeshu alone with them.

¹⁷ And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;

¹⁷ And, lo, the voice from heaven, which said, This (is) my Son, the Beloved, in whom I have delighted.

²² and the Spirit of Holiness descended upon him in the bodily likeness of a dove: and the voice was from the heavens, which said, Thou art my Son the Beloved One, in thee I have delighted.

¹⁶ For so loved Aloha the world, as his Son, the Only-begotten, he would give, that every one who believeth in him might not perish, but have the life which is eternal.

³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and every thing hath he given into his hands. ³⁶ He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him.

²² For the Father judgeth no man, but all judgment he hath given to the Son; ²³ that all men should honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He who honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Amen, amen, I say to you, He who heareth my word and believeth on him who sent me, hath the life that is eternal, and into condemnation he cometh not, but hath passed from death unto life.

²² For Musha hath said, A prophet shall the Lord raise up unto you from your brethren, like to me; him hear in all (things) which he shall speak with you. ²³ And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that prophet, perish shall that soul from his people.

³ how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? those [namely] which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed,

⁷ Therefore the Spirit of Holiness hath said, To-day if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts unto the angering of him, as (did) the embitterers,[Memarmaronee.] and as the day of temptation in the desert,

¹⁵ As that it is said, To-day, if ye will hear his voice,[Bath-Koleh, the sound of his voice.] harden not your hearts to provoke him.

⁹ And so was he perfected, and became unto all them who obey him the Cause of eternal salvation;

²⁵ Beware, therefore, lest ye be averse from Him who hath spoken with you; for if they escaped not who were averse from one who spake with them on earth, how much less we, if we withdraw from one who hath spoken to us from heaven? ²⁶ Him whose voice moved the earth? But now hath he promised and said, Yet once [more] I will move not only earth, but also heaven.

⁶ But he knew not what he said, for they were in fear.

⁹ And while they were descending from the mountain, he charged them to tell no man what they had seen, until the Son of man should have arisen from the dead. ¹⁰ And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead.

¹⁴ AND when they came to the multitude, a man approached him and kneeled upon his knees, ¹⁵ and said to him, My Lord, have mercy on me! my son is lunatic and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth into the fire and often into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to thy disciples, but they could not heal him. ¹⁷ Jeshu answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me. ¹⁸ And Jeshu rebuked him, and the demon went forth from him, and the youth was healed from that hour. ¹⁹ Then came the disciples to Jeshu by himself, and said to him, Why were we not able to heal him? ²⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I tell you, if there were in you faith as a grain of mustard, you should say to this mountain, Pass hence, and it would pass away; and nothing should overcome you.

¹⁴ AND when he came to his disciples, he saw with them a great crowd, and the Sophree questioning with them. ¹⁵ And immediately all the crowd saw him, and wondered, and ran to salute him. ¹⁶ And he inquired of the Sophree, What dispute you with them? ¹⁷ And one from the company answered and said, Malphona,[Teacher, Doctor.] I had brought my son to thee, because he hath a spirit which speaketh not; ¹⁸ and when he seizeth him, he dasheth him, and teareth and grindeth his teeth, and he becometh dry. And I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out, but they could not. ¹⁹ Jeshu answered, and said to him, O generation that believeth not! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I tolerate you? bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, he immediately dashed him, and he fell upon the ground; and was convulsed, and was torn. ²¹ And Jeshu asked the father, How long is it from the time from which it was thus? He saith to him, Behold, from his childhood. ²² And many times he casteth him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but whatever thou canst, help me, and have mercy upon me. ²³ Jeshu saith to him, If thou canst believe, every thing can be to him who believeth. ²⁴ And in a moment the father of the youth cried out, weeping and saying, I am believing; help the defect [Poverty, imperfection, defect.] of my faith. ²⁵ But when Jeshu saw the people running together, and assembling to him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him, Spirit, deaf and unspeaking! I command thee, come forth from him, and enter not into him again! ²⁶ And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jeshu took him by the hand, and raised him. ²⁸ But when Jeshu had gone into the house, his disciples inquired of him by themselves, Why could not we cast him out? ²⁹ Jeshu said to them, This kind with nothing can be cast out, but by fasting and prayer.

²² And, beheld, a Canaanite woman from those coasts came forth crying, and saying, Have mercy upon me, my Lord, son of David! my daughter is grievously possessed with the demon!

¹² And as he approached the gate of the city, he saw (them) following (one) dead, who was the only born of his mother, and she his mother was a widow: and a great multitude of the people of the city [Sons of the city.] were with her.

⁴¹ And a certain man whose name was Jorush, head of the synagogue, fell before the feet of Jeshu, and besought him to enter into his house; ⁴² for he had an only daughter, as a daughter of twelve years, and she was nigh unto death. And as Jeshu went with him, the great multitude pressed him.

⁴⁷ This (man) heard that Jeshu had come from Jihuda into Galila; and he came to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was near to die.

⁴ for, so often as with shackles and chains he had been bound, the chains he had broken, and the shackles he had burst asunder; and no man could subdue him. ⁵ And at all time, by night and by day, he was in the place of tombs, and in the mountains, crying out, and bruising himself with stones.

²⁰ And they brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, he immediately dashed him, and he fell upon the ground; and was convulsed, and was torn.

²⁶ And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead.

³⁵ And Jeshu rebuked him, and said, Close thy mouth, and come forth from him. And the devil cast him down in the midst, and came forth from him, and hurt him not any thing.

²⁹ For Jeshu commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the man. For long [Much or great.] was the time that he had been enthralled of him; and (when) bound with chains, and kept with fetters, he had burst asunder his bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the waste.

⁴⁴ You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.

⁸ Watch, and be mindful, because your adversary Satana, as a lion, roareth and walketh and seeketh whom he may devour.

¹¹ And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss, and his name in Hebrew is Abadon; but in Javanith his name is Apolon.

²⁰ Jeshu saith to them, Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I tell you, if there were in you faith as a grain of mustard, you should say to this mountain, Pass hence, and it would pass away; and nothing should overcome you.

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

¹⁷ And the seventy whom he had sent, returned with great joy, saying to him, Our Lord, the demons also are subjected to us through thy name. ¹⁸ Then he said to them, I saw him, Satana, when he fell as lightning from heaven. ¹⁹ Behold, I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

¹³ BUT men, Jihudoyee, also, who went about and adjured demons, willed to adjure in the name of our Lord Jeshu over those who had unclean spirits, saying, We adjure you in the name of Jeshu whom Paulos preacheth. ¹⁴ There were seven sons of a man, a certain Jihudoya, chief of the priests, whose name was Skeva, who did this. ¹⁵ And that evil demon answered and said to them, Jeshu I acknowledge, and Paulos I know; but who are you? ¹⁶ And the man in whom was the evil spirit sprang upon them, and was strong against them, and threw them, and they, naked and wounded, fled from that house.

⁷ But when he saw many of the Pharishee and Zodukoyee coming to be baptized, he said to them, Generation of vipers, who hath showed you to escape from the wrath that cometh?

²⁸ Come unto me, all you (who) are wearied and bearing burdens, and I will give you rest.

³⁹ But he answered them and said, A generation depraved and adulterous requireth a sign; but a sign shall not be given to it, but the sign of Jaunon the prophet;

⁴⁵ Then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits, than himself more wicked, and they enter and dwell in him. And the end of that man is worse than his beginning. So shall it be with this wicked race!

⁴ A depraved and adulterous race requireth a sign, but a sign shall not be given to it, save the sign of Jaunon the prophet; and he left them, and went away.

¹⁷ Jeshu answered and said, O unbelieving and perverse generation! how long shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me.

³⁶ Amen I say unto you, that all these shall come upon this generation.

¹⁹ Jeshu answered, and said to him, O generation that believeth not! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I tolerate you? bring him to me.

¹⁴ But Jeshu, when he saw, was displeased, and said to them, Permit the children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of those who are as these is the kingdom of Aloha.

⁴⁹ And Jeshu stood, and commanded that they should bring him. And they called the blind man, saying to him, Be of heart, rise, he calleth thee.

²⁵ And he said to them, Where is your faith? But they, afraid, wondered, saying one with another, Who is this that also commandeth the winds, and to whom the waves and the sea are obedient?

⁹ Jeshu saith to him, All this time have I been with you, and hast thou not known me, Philipé? He who me seeth, seeth the Father; and how sayest thou, Show us the Father?

²⁷ And he said to Thoma, Bring thy finger hither and see my hands, and bring thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not unbelieving but believing.

⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified to them and entreated of them, saying, Save (yourselves) from this perverse generation.

¹⁸ And he nourished them in the desert forty years.

⁴ Or upon the riches of his goodness, and upon his long-suffering, and upon the space he giveth thee, presumest thou? and knowest not that the goodness of Aloha unto repentance leadeth thee?

⁹ when your fathers tempted me, and proved (and) saw my works forty years. ¹⁰ On which account I was wearied with that generation; and said, It is a people that doth err (in) their heart, and that hath not known my ways. ¹¹ So that I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.

¹⁹ And we see that they were not able to enter in, because they did not believe.

² For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.

¹¹ Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.

²⁵ And he is able to save for eternity them who approach by him unto Aloha; for he liveth through all time, and offereth up prayers on their behalf.

²⁶ And the impure spirit threw him down, and cried with a high voice, and went forth from him. ²⁷ And all wondered, and questioned one with another, Who is this? and what is this new doctrine? because with authority he commandeth the impure spirits, and they obey him.

²⁶ And that devil cried greatly, and crushed him, and went forth. And he became as the dead; as that many would say, He is dead. ²⁷ But Jeshu took him by the hand, and raised him.

¹⁵ And the dead sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.

³⁹ and a spirit passeth upon him, and he suddenly crieth, and gnasheth his teeth, and lacerateth, and hardly removeth from him when he hath bruised him.

⁴¹ And he reached his hand and raised her, and called the saints and widows, and gave her to them living.

¹² Wherefore let the heavens be glad, and those who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea! Because the deceiver hath gone down to you, having great indignation, knowing that little time is to him.

⁵¹ And he ascended to them into the ship, and the wind was still: and they wondered greatly, and were astonished among themselves.

³⁰ And when he had gone forth from thence, they passed into Galila: and he was not willing that any man should know of him. ³¹ And he taught his disciples, and told them, That the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him; and that when he was slain, on the third day he should arise. ³² But they understood not [Knew not.] his word, and feared to ask him.

³⁶ And wonder seized on every man, and they spake with each other and said, What thing is this? for with authority and with power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they go forth.

⁹ For amazement had seized him, and all who were with him, on account of the draught of fishes which they had taken.

²⁶ And amazement held every man; and they glorified Aloha, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen today wonders.

⁴³ And while every one wondered at all which Jeshu did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴ Treasure these words in your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men. ⁴⁵ But they understood not that saying, because it was hidden from them that they should not know it: and they feared to ask of him concerning that saying.

¹⁰ And they knew that it was he, the beggar, who had sat daily and asked alms at the gate which is called the Beautiful. And they were filled with wonder and astonishment at what had been done. ¹¹ AND as he held Shemun and Juhanon, all the people ran wondering unto them to the portico which is called Of Shelemun. ¹² And when Shemun saw, he answered and said to them, Men, sons of Israel, why wonder you at this? or why gaze you at us, as [though] by power of ours, or by our (own) authority, we had done this, that this (man) should walk? ¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Ishok, and of Jakub, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jeshu, him whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilatos, when he had justified (him) and would have released him;

²¹ AND from that time began Jeshu to show to his disciples that it was to be that he should go to Urishlem, and suffer much from the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and the third day arise again.

²² WHEN they had returned into Galila, Jeshu said to them, It is coming that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, ²³ and they shall kill him; and in the third day he shall arise. And it grieved them exceedingly.

¹⁸ Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and the Son of man is betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they shall condemn him to the death; ¹⁹ and they shall consign him to the Gentiles, and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and shall crucify him, and on the third day he shall arise.

³⁸ But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and take the inheritance. ³⁹ And they seized and cast him without the vinery, and killed him.

² You know not that after two days is the Petzcha,[Passover.] and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that it was to be that the Son of man should suffer much, and be rejected by the elders, and by the chief priests, and by the Sophree, and be killed, and that the third day he should arise!

⁶⁶ And all who heard reasoned in their hearts, and said, What is this child to be? And the hand of the Lord was with him.

¹⁹ But Mariam kept all these words, and compared them in her heart.

⁵¹ And he went down with them, and came to Natsrath, and was subject to them. But his mother kept all these words in her heart.

³¹ AND Jeshu took the twelve, and said to them, Behold, we go up to Urishlem, and shall be fulfilled all (things) that are written in the prophets concerning the Son of man.

⁶ He is not here, he is risen. Remember what he spake with you while he was in Galila, ⁷ and (when he) said, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of men of sins, and he will be crucified, and (in) the third of the days he will arise.

¹⁹ Jeshu answered, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it. ²⁰ The Jihudoyee say to him, Forty-and six years was this temple being built, and wilt thou in three days raise it? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body. ²² But when he was risen from the house of the dead, his disciples remembered that this he had said; and they believed the scriptures, and the word which Jeshu had spoken.

⁴ THESE have I spoken with you, that when their time hath come you may remember that I told you. But these at first I did not tell you, because with you I was.

¹¹ Jeshu saith to him, Thou against ME hast no power, no not any, unless it hath been given to thee from above: wherefore he who delivered me to thee hath a sin greater than thine.

²³ This, who was separated thereunto by the foreknowledge and by the will of Aloha, you delivered into the hands of the wicked, and crucified and slew.

¹³ The God of Abraham, and of Ishok, and of Jakub, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his son Jeshu, him whom you delivered up, and denied before the face of Pilatos, when he had justified (him) and would have released him; ¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you. ¹⁵ And Him the Prince of life you killed, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead; and we all are his witnesses.

³ that none of you should be slain through these afflictions; for you know that to this we are set. ⁴ For while also we were with you, we foretold you that we were to be afflicted, as you know that it hath been.

¹ Therefore we are obligated to be more exceedingly heedful in what we have heard, that we fall not.

² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down. ³ CONSIDER, therefore, how much he endured from sinners who were adversaries to themselves, that ye weary not, nor fail in your souls. ⁴ Not yet have ye come unto blood in the conflict which is against sin. ⁵ And ye have forgotten the instruction of him who, as unto children, hath said to you, My son, contemn not the discipline of the Lord, and let not thy soul fail when by him thou art corrected:

²² Then Kipha took him (apart?) and began to expostulate with him, and said, Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee!

¹⁶ And they reasoned one with another,[One with one.] saying, Because we have no bread. ¹⁷ But Jeshu knew, and said to them, Why reason you because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor under stand? is your heart still hard? ¹⁸ and eyes have you, and not see? and ears have you, and not hear? neither remember you?

³² And he spake the word with them fully.[Or, with uncovered eye, openly.] And Kipha took him, and began to chide him. ³³ But he turned, and, beholding his disciples, reprehended Shemun, and said, Get thee behind me, Satana, for thou thinkest not that which is of Aloha, but that which is of the sons of men.

¹⁰ And they held discourse among themselves, and inquired what was this word, when he should have arisen from among the dead.

³² But they understood not [Knew not.] his word, and feared to ask him.

⁵⁰ But they did not comprehend the word that he spake to them.

⁴⁶ And there entered among them the thought, Who should be greatest among them?

³⁴ But not one of these understood they: for this word [Or, doctrine.] was hidden from them, and they knew not those sayings which were spoken with them.

¹⁶ But these the disciples knew not at that time; but when Jeshu was glorified, the disciples remembered that these were written concerning him, and (that) these (things) they had done unto him.

³⁴ The people said to him, We have heard from the law that the Meshicha for ever abideth: how sayest thou that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

⁵ Thoma saith to him, Our Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way?

¹⁷ And the disciples said one to another, What is this that he saith to us? A little (time), and you will not see me; and again a little (while), and you shall see me, and because I go to my Father. ¹⁸ And they said, What is this little (time of) which he hath spoken? We know not what he saith.

¹⁴ But they are blinded in their minds unto this day. For when the old covenant is read, that very veil standeth upon them, nor is it apparent (to them) that in the Meshiha it hath been abolished. ¹⁵ And unto this day, when Musha is read, the veil is thrown upon their heart. ¹⁶ And when any one of them is converted unto the Lord, the veil from him is uplifted.

¹ IN that hour the disciples came near to Jeshu, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ² And Jeshu called a child, and made him stand in the midst of them, ³ and said, Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore humbleth himself as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven. ⁵ And whosoever shall receive [such] as [are] like this child in my name, he receiveth me.

²⁰ Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zabdai, she and her sons, and worshipped him, and supplicated a certain thing of him. ²¹ But he said to her, What wilt thou? She said to him, Declare that these my two sons shall sit, one at thy right hand, and one at thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² Jeshu answered and said, You know not what you ask: are you able to drink the cup of which I am about to drink, or with the baptism with which I am baptized will you be baptized? They say unto him, We are able!

⁶ and love the chief reclining-places at evening feasts, and the highest seats in synagogues, ⁷ and the shaloma in public places, and to be called of men Râbi.[My Master.]

³³ AND they came to Kapher-nachum: and when they had entered the house, he asked them of what they had argued in the way among themselves. ³⁴ But they were silent: for they had contended in the way one with another, who should be greatest among them. ³⁵ And Jeshu sat, and he called the twelve, and said to them, Whoever wills to be the first, shall be the last of all, and the servant of all. ³⁶ And he took a certain child, and made him stand in the midst: and he took him upon his arms, and said to them, ³⁷ Every one who receiveth (one who is) as this child in my name, me he receiveth: and whoever me receiveth, not me he receiveth, but Him who sent me.

⁷ And he spoke a parable to them who had been invited there, forasmuch as he had observed them, that they chose the chief places of reclining: ⁸ When thou art invited by one into the house of festivity, go not to recline on the principal seat, lest there be invited thither one more honourable than thou; ⁹ and he come who thyself and him had called, and say to thee, Give place to this; and thou be ashamed as thou arisest to take another place. ¹⁰ But when thou art invited, go, recline thee in the last (seat), that when he who called thee cometh, he may say to thee, My friend, ascend and recline above, and thou shalt have honour before all of them who recline with thee. ¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁴ But there was also a contention among them, who of them was the greatest. ²⁵ And Jeshu said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are their lords; and they who exercise authority over them, doers of good are called. ²⁶ But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth. ²⁷ For who is greatest, he who reclineth, or he who serveth? Is not he who reclineth? But I am among you as he who serveth.

³ But I tell you all through the grace which is given to me, that you are not to think beyond what it is proper to think; but that you think with sobriety, every man as Aloha hath divided to him faith in measure.

¹⁰ Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.

²⁰ the worship of idols, sorcery, enmity, contention, ambition, wrath, calumny, divisions, rendings, ²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all that are like these; and they who do them, as I told you before, so now I tell you, the kingdom of Aloha do not inherit.

²⁵ live we therefore in the Spirit, ²⁶ and let us not be vain-glorious, contemning one another, envying one another.

³ And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself.

¹⁴ Do every thing without murmuring and without division;

⁹ I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost[Kadmoyo.] of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not.

⁴ But Jeshu knew their reasonings, and said to them, Why reason ye evil in your hearts?

² And Jeshu called a child, and made him stand in the midst of them, ³ and said, Amen I say to you, unless you be converted and become as children, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Whosoever therefore humbleth himself as this child, he shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

¹³ Then they brought to him children, that he should put his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples forbad them. ¹⁴ But Jeshu himself said, Suffer children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of those who are as these, is the kingdom of heaven. ¹⁵ And he put his hand upon them, and went thence.

¹⁴ But Jeshu, when he saw, was displeased, and said to them, Permit the children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of those who are as these is the kingdom of Aloha. ¹⁵ Amen I say to you, That whoever shall not receive the kingdom of Aloha as a child, shall not enter into it.

²² But Jeshu knew their reasoning, and said to them, What reason you in your hearts?

³⁹ But when the Pharisha who had invited him saw (this), he thought within himself and said, Were this a prophet, he would know who this is and what is her report, for this woman is a sinner who toucheth him. ⁴⁰ But Jeshu answered and said to him, Shemun, I have somewhat to say to thee. He said to him, Say, Rabi. Jeshu said to him,

²⁵ and needed not that any should testify to him concerning any man, because he knew what is in man.

³⁰ Now know we that every thing thou knowest, and thou needest not that any man should ask thee. By this we believe that from Aloha thou hast come forth.

¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

²⁰ MY brethren, be not children in your minds, but in evils be you babes, and in your minds be perfect.

¹³ Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.[D'leh yohbin pethgomo, to whom giving the answer.]

¹ MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander; ² and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.

²³ And her sons will I kill with death, and all the churches shall know that I am he who searcheth the reins and the hearts: and I will give to you every one according to your works.

⁴⁰ Whosoever receiveth you, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, Him who sent me he receiveth. ⁴¹ Whosoever entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet receiveth. Whosoever entertaineth a just man in the name of a just man, the reward of the just man he receiveth. ⁴² And whosoever only giveth one of these little ones a cup of cold (waters) to drink in the name of a disciple, Amen, I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁵ And whosoever shall receive [such] as [are] like this child in my name, he receiveth me. ⁶ And every one that shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, to him it had been better that the mill-stone of an ass* were hung to his neck, and himself plunged into the depths of the sea. [* That is, the stone of a mill worked by an ass or mule.]

¹⁰ See that you contemn not one of these little ones: for I say unto you that their angels in all time are beholding the face of my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁴ So it is not good [Ad lit., " The will."] before your Father who is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

²⁸ Jeshu saith to them, Amen I say to you, that you who have come after me, in the new world, when the Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, you also shall sit upon twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.

¹¹ But he who is great among you, let him be your servitor. ¹² For whosoever will exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever will abase himself shall be exalted.

⁴⁰ And the King shall answer and say to them, Amen I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it unto one of these my least brethren, unto me you did it.

⁴⁵ Then shall he answer and say to them, Amen I say unto you, that inasmuch as you did it not unto one of these little ones, you did it not to me.

²⁸ I tell you, that no prophet among those born of women (hath been) greater than Juchanon the Baptizer. Yet the least in the kingdom of Aloha is greater than he.

¹¹ For every one who exalteth himself shall be humbled; and every one who humbleth himself shall be exalted.

²⁶ But you, not so: yea, he who is great among you, let him be as the least; and he who is chief, as one who serveth.

³⁰ that you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom, and may sit upon thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Isroel.

⁴⁴ But Jeshu cried and said, He who believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him who sent me. ⁴⁵ And he who seeth me seeth him who sent me.

²⁰ Amen, amen, I say to you, Whoever receiveth him whom I send receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me receiveth him who sent me.

²¹ He who hath my commandments and keepeth them is he who loveth me; and he who loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest to him myself.

⁸ Therefore, whoever despiseth, not man he despiseth, but Aloha, who hath ingiven you his Holy Spirit.[Da-yahab becun.]

³ not as lords of the flock, but that you may be to them a goodly example; ⁴ that when the Chief of pastors [Rab Roauthö.] shall be revealed, you may receive from him a crown of glory which fadeth not.

⁶ Be humbled, therefore, under the mighty hand of Aloha, that he may exalt you at the right time.

²¹ And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and upon them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

³⁸ Juchanon said to him, Rabi, we saw a man casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he did not adhere to us. ³⁹ Jeshu saith to them, Forbid him not; for no man who doeth powerful works [Powers.] in my name, can soon speak of me that which is evil. ⁴⁰ He therefore who is not against you is for you.

¹³ And they presented unto him children, that he should touch them: but his disciples rebuked those who presented them. ¹⁴ But Jeshu, when he saw, was displeased, and said to them, Permit the children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of those who are as these is the kingdom of Aloha.

¹⁸ And they called them, and commanded them that not at all they should speak and teach in the name of Jeshu. ¹⁹ SHEMUN KIPHA and Juhanon answered and said to them, If it be right before Aloha that you we obey rather than Aloha, judge you.

²⁸ Did we not commanding command you, that you should teach no man in this name? But, behold, you have filled Urishlem with your doctrine, and you will to bring upon us the blood of this man!

¹⁶ who forbid us to speak with the Gentiles that they might be saved; to fill up their sins for all time: but upon them cometh the wrath unto the end!

⁹ I would have written to the church; but he who loveth to be foremost[Kadmoyo.] of you, Diotrapas, receiveth us not. ¹⁰ On account of this, if I come, I will remember the works which he doeth, who words of evil maketh concerning us; and these not satisfying him, he hath not received the brethren, and those who receive he forbiddeth, and also expelleth from the church.

³⁰ He who is not with me is against me; and he who gathereth not with me, in scattering scattereth.

²⁸ But he said to them, A foeman hath done this. The labourers say to him, Art thou willing that we go and gather them? ²⁹ But he said to them, (No,) lest, when ye gather the zizania, you root out with them the wheat also. ³⁰ Leave (them), that both may grow together till the harvest; and in the season of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the zizania, and bind them (together in) bundles, that they may burn; but the wheat collect into my barns.

²⁴ And when they came to Kapher-nachum, they who took the two zuzis, the head-silver, approached Kipha and said to him, Your master, doth he not give his two zuzeen?[The zuz, or zuza, was a silver coin, value one drachm.]

²⁶ Shemun saith to him, From aliens: Jeshu saith to him, Then the children are free.[Sons of the free.]

⁴¹ For every one who shall give you only a cup of waters to drink in the name that you are of the Meshicha, Amen I say to you, He shall not lose his reward.

²³ He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not collect with me, by scattering he scattereth.

¹³ No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.

³ I therefore make known to you, that there is no man who by the Spirit of Aloha speaketh, and saith that Jeshu is accursed; [Cherem.] and no man also can say that Jeshu is THE LORD unless by the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁵ Some preach from envy and contention, but some from good-will, and in the love of the Meshiha; ¹⁶ for they know that for the defence of the gospel I am appointed. ¹⁷ But those who preach the Meshiha from contention do it not sincerely,[Or, purely.] but think to add affliction to my bonds. ¹⁸ Yet in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every way, if for an occasion, or if in truth, the Meshiha shall be preached.

¹⁹ But Jeshu our Lord, after he had spoken with them, unto the heavens ascended, and sat on the right hand of Aloha.

⁵⁰ and I have a baptism (wherewith) to be baptized, and greatly am I pressed till it be completed.

²² And he journeyed, teaching in the villages and in the cities, and going forwards to Urishlem.

¹¹ AND it was that as Jeshu was going to Urishlem, he passed among the Shomroyee from Galila.

¹¹ And when they had heard these things, he added to speak a parable; because he had drawn nigh to Urishlem, and they expected that in that hour would be revealed the kingdom of Aloha.

²⁸ AND when Jeshu had said these things, he went forward to go to Urishlem.

⁵¹ And it was that while he blessed them, he was separated from them, and he ascended to the heavens.

⁶² If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first?

¹ NOW before the feast of petscha, Jeshu knew that his hour was come, and that he should pass from this world unto his Father, and he had loved his who were in this world, and unto the end he had loved them.

⁵ But now I go unto Him who sent me; and no man of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?

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

¹¹ Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them through thy name, that (name) which thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we are.

² until that day in which he was taken up, after that he had instructed [Or, commanded.] those apostles whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit:

⁹ And as these he said, while they beheld him, he was taken up, and the cloud received him, and he was covered from their eyes.

²² And now I, bound in the Spirit, go to Urishlem; not knowing what I shall know in her.

¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the loins'-girdle of Paulos, and bound his own feet and his hands, and said, Thus saith the Spirit of Holiness, So the man the master of this girdle will the Jihudoyee bind in Urishlem; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. ¹² And when we heard these words, we and the sons of the place entreated of him not to go unto Urishlem. ¹³ THEN answered Paulos and said, What do you, weeping and bruising my heart? For not to be bound only am I prepared, but also to die in Urishlem, for the sake of the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ¹⁴ And when he would not be persuaded by us, we desisted, and said, The will of our Lord be done.

²⁰ which he wrought in the Meshiha, and raised him from among the dead, and set him at his right hand in heaven,

⁸ Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high; he led captive captivity, and gave gifts unto men. ⁹ But he who ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the low places of the earth? ¹⁰ He who descended, is he who also ascended above all the heavens, to fulfil all. ¹¹ And he gave some who (are) apostles, and some who (are) prophets, and some who (are) evangelists, and some who (are) pastors, and some who (are) doctors;

¹⁴ and run towards the sign, to obtain the victory of the high vocation of Aloha by Jeshu Meshiha.

¹⁶ And truly great is this mystery of righteousness,[Kinutho.] which was revealed in the flesh, and justified by the Spirit, and seen of angels, and preached among the peoples, and believed in the world, and taken up into glory.

²⁰ where Jeshu hath first entered for us, and become the Priest for ever in the likeness of MALKI-ZEDEK.

² And let us look unto Jeshu, who hath become the chief and the perfecter of our faith; who, for the joy that was before him, endured the cross, and unto shame delivered himself, and at the right hand of the throne of Aloha hath sat down.

²² who is exalted unto heaven, and is at the right hand of Aloha, and unto whom are subject angels and authorities and powers.

⁵ These twelve Jeshu sent, and commanded them and said, In the way of the heathens go not, and into the city of the Shomroyee do not enter;

²⁷ he, concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send mine angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.

³³ But a man, a Shomroya, while he journeyed, came where he was, and saw him, and had compassion on him,

¹⁶ And he fell upon his face before the feet of Jeshu, and thanked him. And, behold, this was a Shomroya.

⁴⁸ The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?

⁹ The woman, the Shomroytha, saith to him, How (canst) thou who art a Jihudoya ask drink of me who am a woman, a Shomroytha? For the Jihudoyee have no accommodation* with the Shomroyee. [* Vide MASII Pec. Syr., in voce Chashach.]

⁴⁰ And when those Shomroyee came to him, they besought him to be with them. ⁴¹ And he was with them two days, and many believed through his word. ⁴² And they said to the woman, Now not through thy word believe we in him; for we have heard and known that this is truly the Meshicha, the Saviour of the world.

²⁹ And now also, Lord, behold and see their threatenings, and give unto thy servants with boldness to preach thy word, ³⁰ while thy hand thou outstretchest unto healings and mighty works which they shall do in the name of thy holy Son Jeshu.

¹⁹ And you, my beloved brethren, let every one of you be swift to hear, and slow to speak, and slow to be angry; ²⁰ for the wrath of man the righteousness of Aloha worketh not.

¹⁴ But if you have bitter envy among yourselves, or contention be in your hearts, be not inflated against the truth, nor lie; ¹⁵ because this wisdom from above descendeth not; but is earthly, from the reasonings of the soul, and from demons. ¹⁶ For where there are envy and contention, there also are tumult and every thing that is evil. ¹⁷ But the wisdom that is from above is pure, and full of peace, and meekness, and obedience, and full of mercies and good fruits, and is without division, and faces accepteth not. ¹⁸ But the fruits of righteousness in quietness are sown by them who make peace.

³ And one of his heads was wounded as to death. And his stroke of death was healed; and all the earth wondered after the beast of prey.

²³ But he turned and said to Kipha, Get thee behind me, Satana! thou art a stumbling-block to me, because thou thinkest not from Aloha, but from the sons of men!

³³ Kipha answered and said to him, Though every man should be offended in thee, I never will be offended in thee.

⁴¹ Be watchful and pray, that you enter not into temptation. The spirit is ready, but the body is infirm.

⁵¹ And, behold, one from those who were with Jeshu stretched forth his hand, and unsheathed a sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and took off his ear.

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not in me;

³ And Paulos said to him, It will be that Aloha will smite thee, (thou) whitened wall: thou sittest to judge me according to the law, while thou transgressest the law, and commandest that they smite me! ⁴ And they who stood there said to him, The priest of Aloha revilest thou? ⁵ Paulos said to them, I knew not, my brethren, that he is the priest; for it is written, Of the chief of thy people thou shalt not speak evil.

⁹ For I, at the first, proposed in my mind to do many things against the name of Jeshu Natsroya. ¹⁰ This I also did in Urishlem. And many holy ones I cast into the house of the bound, by the authority which I had received from the great priests; and when they were killed by them, I participated with those who condemned them. ¹¹ And in every synagogue I was furious against them, while I constrained them to blaspheme the name of Jeshu; and, being filled with great wrath against them, I went forth unto other cities also to persecute them.

¹⁰ and from the same mouth go forth curses and blessings. My brethren, it is not fit that these should so be done.

⁹ and let no man render evil for evil, nor invective for invective, but, that which is contrary to them, bless: for unto this are you called, that the blessing you may inherit.

¹⁹ All those whom I love, I reprove and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

³⁹ But I say unto you, that you shall not rise up against evil: but if any one strike thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

²⁸ So, the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life the redemption for many.

²⁷ But I say to you who hear, Love your adversaries, and do good to those who hate you, ²⁸ and bless those who execrate you, and pray for those who lead you by violence.[Or, with a chain.] ²⁹ And to one who striketh you on your cheek, offer to him the other: and whosoever taketh your cloak, forbid him not your coat also. ³⁰ To every one who asketh of you give; and from him who taketh of yours demand not (again). ³¹ And as you will that the sons of man should do to you, so do you also to them.

¹⁰ For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.

⁵¹ Jeshu answered and said, It sufficeth until this; and he touched his ear which he had struck, and healed it.

³⁴ BUT Jeshu himself said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. [Aba shebuk lehun, lo gir yodin mono obdin.] And they divided his garments, and cast for them lots.

¹⁷ For Aloha sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might live by him.

¹⁰ The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and destroy: I am come that they may have life, and that which is more.

⁴⁷ And he who heareth my words, and doth not keep them, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

²¹ Let not evil overcome you, but overcome evil with good.

¹⁵ Faithful is the word, and worthy of reception that Jeshu the Meshiha came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.

²¹ For unto this have you been called; because the Meshiha also hath died for us, and left us this example, that in his steps we may walk. ²² Who did no sin, nor was guile found in his mouth; ²³ who was reviled and reviled not, and suffered and threatened not, but delivered his cause to the Judge of righteousness;

¹⁹ And a certain scribe approached him, and said, Rabi, I will come after thee to the place whither thou goest. ²⁰ Jeshu saith to him, The foxes have their dens, and the fowls of heaven a bower, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ²¹ And another from his disciples said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. ²² But Jeshu said to him Come after me, and leave the dead ones burying their dead.

⁵¹ AND it was that when the days were fulfilled for his Assumption, he directed his face to go to Urishlem.

⁵⁷ And while they went in the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee to the place whither thou goest, my Lord. ⁵⁸ Jeshu saith to him, The foxes have holes and the fowls of the heaven a shadow, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. ⁵⁹ And he said to another, Come after me. But he said to him, My Lord, permit me first to go bury my father. ⁶⁰ Jeshu said to him, Leave the dead burying their dead; and thou, go and preach the kingdom of Aloha.

³⁷ Shemun Kipha saith to him, My Lord, why cannot I come after thee now? My life for thee lay I down.

²⁰ Jeshu saith to him, The foxes have their dens, and the fowls of heaven a bower, but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

²⁶ Whoever cometh with me, and doth not hate his father and his mother, and his brethren and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and himself also, a disciple he cannot be of mine. ²⁷ And whoever doth not take up his cross and come after me, a disciple he cannot be of mine. ²⁸ For who of you that willeth to build a tower, and doth not first sit down and reckon the expense of it, whether he have (wherewith) to finish it? ²⁹ lest, when he shall have laid the foundation, and shall not be able to finish, all who see shall deride him, ³⁰ saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. ³¹ Or, what king, going to war with a king his neighbour, doth not first consider, whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him who cometh against him with twenty thousand? ³² and if not, while he is distant from him, he may send legates, and pray for peace. ³³ So every one of you who doth not leave all his possession, cannot be unto me a disciple.

²² But when Jeshu heard this, he said to him, One thing is lacking with thee; go, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come after me. ²³ But he, when he heard these words, was grieved; for he was very rich.

⁶⁰ And many of his disciples who heard said, A hard word is this: who can hear it? ⁶¹ BUT Jeshu knew in himself that his disciples murmured concerning this; and he said to them, Does this stumble you? ⁶² If you shall see then the Son of man ascend up to the place where he was from the first? ⁶³ It is the Spirit that maketh alive, the body profiteth nothing: the words which I have spoken to you, they are spirit and they are life. ⁶⁴ But there are some of you who do not believe. For Jeshu knew from the first who they were who believed not, and who it was who would betray him. ⁶⁵ And he said to them, On account of this I told you that no man can come to me, unless it be given him of my Father. ⁶⁶ On account of this word many of his disciples went back, and walked not with him.

⁹ FOR you know the beneficence of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that for your sake he became poor, though he was rich, that you through his poverty might be enriched.

⁵ Listen, my beloved brethren: Hath not Aloha chosen the poor of the world, but rich in faith, to be heirs in that kingdom which Aloha hath promised to them who love him?

¹⁹ And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. ²⁰ And they immediately forsook their nets and went after him. ²¹ And when he had passed thence, he saw two other brethren, Jakub-bar-Zabdai and Juchanan his brother, in a vessel with Zabdai their father, repairing their nets: and Jeshu called them; ²² and they forthwith left the vessel and their father, and went after him.

³³ But seek first the kingdom of Aloha and his righteousness, and all these shall be added unto you.

⁹ AND when Jeshu had passed thence, he saw a man who was sitting at the place of the tribute-takers, whose name was Mathai; and he said to him, Come after me; and he arose and went after him.

²⁴ Then said Jeshu to his disciples. Whosoever willeth to come after me, let him deny himself, and let him take up his cross and follow me.

³² But to rejoice it behoves us, and to be glad, because this thy brother was dead, and is alive; and was lost, and is found.

¹⁵ WHEN they had dined, Jeshu said to Shemun Kipha, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith to him again the second time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yes, my Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep. ¹⁷ Jeshu saith to him again the third time, Shemun bar Jona, lovest thou me? And it grieved Kipha that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, My Lord, all things thou understandest, thou knowest that I love thee. Jeshu saith to him, Feed my sheep.

¹⁶ Yet also in preaching I have no cause to glory: for necessity lieth upon me; for woe to me unless I preach!

¹⁶ And henceforth we no man know according to the flesh;* and if we have known the Meshiha according to the flesh,* yet from now we know not. [* Baphgar, "In the body."] ¹⁷ Whoever therefore is in the Meshiha is a new creature; the old things have passed, ¹⁸ and every thing hath become new from Aloha, who hath reconciled us to himself in the Meshiha, and given to us the ministry of reconciliation.

¹ You also who were dead in your sins and in your transgressions,

⁵ while we were dead in our sins, made us alive with the Meshiha, and through his grace delivered us,

⁶ But she who serveth pleasure is dead while she liveth.

³ And endure evils as a good soldier of Jeshu Meshiha. ⁴ No man serveth as a soldier, and entangleth himself with the affairs of the world, that he might please him who hath chosen him.

⁵ But watch thou in every thing, and endure evils, and work the work of an evangelist, and thy ministry fulfil.

¹ AND to the angel who is in Sardis write: These saith he who hath the seven Spirits of Aloha, and the seven stars: I know thy works, that a name thou hast that thou livest, and thou art dead.

³⁷ Whosoever loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy (of) me; and whosoever loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy (of) me. ³⁸ And every one who taketh not his cross and cometh after me, is not worthy of me.

¹⁸ And every one of them began to excuse himself. The first said to him, I have bought an estate, and am constrained to go forth to see it: I beseech thee, permit me to be excused. ¹⁹ Another said, Five yoke of oxen have I bought, and I go to prove them: I beseech thee, permit me to be excused. ²⁰ Another said, A wife have I taken, and therefore I cannot come.

²⁶ Whoever cometh with me, and doth not hate his father and his mother, and his brethren and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and himself also, a disciple he cannot be of mine.

³¹ In that day, he who is on the roof and his garments in the house, let him not go down and take them. And he who is in the field, let him not turn his back. ³² Remember the wife of Lut.

³⁷ But Bar Naba willed to take Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos. ³⁸ But Paulos willed not to take him with them, because he had forsaken them when they were in Pamphylia, and had not come with them.

¹³ MY brethren, I think not concerning myself that I have laid hold (of the final prize); but one (thing) I know, that what is behind me I forget, and to that which is before me I stretch,

¹⁰ for Dema hath left me, and hath loved this world, and is gone to Thessalonika; Krispos to Galatia, Titos to Dalmatia;

³⁸ But the just by the faith of me shall live; but if he become weary,[Or, be cut off. ejq, abscidit, defecit, viribus defectus fuit. Ethpa. Excissus fuit; taedio affectus fuit. - SCHAFF.] my soul delighteth not in him.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, not wavering.[Or, not being divided.] For he who wavereth is like the waves of the sea which the wind disturbeth. ⁷ And let not that man expect to receive any thing from the Lord, ⁸ who is divided in his mind, and disturbed in all his ways.

²⁰ For if [when] they have escaped from the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jeshu Meshiha, with those very things entangled they are again over-come, their end becomes worse than the beginning. ²¹ For it had been more tolerable for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, when they knew, to turn backward from the holy commandment delivered to them. ²² But it hath happened to them according to the true proverb, that The dog hath turned unto his vomit; the sow which had washed into the wallow of the mire.
