¹ THE beginning of the Gospel of Jeshu Meshicha, the Son of Aloha. ² As it is written in Eshaia the prophet: - Behold, I send my angel before thy face, who shall make straight [Or, prepare.] thy way. ³ The voice which crieth in the desert, prepare the way of the Lord, make level his paths. ⁴ Juchanon was in the desert, baptizing, and proclaiming the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁵ And all the region of Jehud and all the sons of Urishlem went out to him; and he baptized them in Jurdan the river, while they were confessing their sins. ⁶ But Juchanon himself was clothed with a garment of the hair of camels, and engirded with a belt of leather upon his loins; and his food was locusts and wilderness honey. ⁷ And he proclaimed and said, Behold, (One) cometh after me, who is mightier than I; he, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to bow myself to unloose. ⁸ I have baptized you with waters; but he shall baptize you with the Spirit of Holiness. ⁹ And it was in those days that Jeshu came from Natsrath of Galila, and was baptized in Jurdan by Juchanon. ¹⁰ And as soon as he had ascended from the waters, he saw the heavens part asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descend upon him. ¹¹ And the voice was from the heavens, Thou art my Son, the Beloved: in thee I have delighted. ¹² And immediately the Spirit led him forth into the desert. ¹³ And he was there in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satana: and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. 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.] ¹⁶ And while he walked about the sea of Galila, he saw Shemun and Andreas his brother, who were casting nets into the sea: for they were fishers. ¹⁷ And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men. ¹⁸ And at once they forsook their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And when he had passed on a little, he saw Jakub bar Zabdai and Juchanon his brother; and they also were in a vessel, preparing their nets. ²⁰ And he called them; and forthwith they left Zabdai their father with the hirelings, and went after him. ²¹ And when they were come to Kapher-nachum, he forthwith taught on the sabbaths in their assemblies. ²² And they wondered at his doctrine; for he taught them as having power, and not as their Sophree. ²³ And there was in their assembly a man who had an unclean spirit: ²⁴ and he cried and said, What to us and to thee, Jeshu Natsroya? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of Aloha. ²⁵ And Jeshu restrained him, and said, Close thy mouth, and come forth from him. 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. ²⁸ And his fame soon went out through all the region of Galila. ²⁹ And he proceeded from the assembly, and came to the house of Shemun and Andreas with Jacub and Juchanon. ³⁰ And the mother-in-law of Shemun was lying in a fever; and they told him concerning her. ³¹ And he approached, took her by her hand; and she arose, and at once the fever left her, and she served them. ³² Then in the evening at sun-setting they brought to him all those who were grievously affected and demoniacs. ³³ And the whole city was assembled at the gate: ³⁴ and he healed multitudes who were grievously affected with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and would not permit the demons to speak; for they knew him. ³⁵ AND in the morning he arose long before (day), and went into a solitude, and there prayed. ³⁶ And Shemun and (they) who (were) with him sought for him; ³⁷ and when they had found him, they said to him, All men are seeking thee. ³⁸ He said to them, Proceed you to the neighbouring towns and cities; for there also I will preach, because for this am I come. ³⁹ And he preached in all their assemblies in all Galila, and cast out devils. ⁴⁰ And a leper came to him, and fell at his feet, and besought him, and said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me. ⁴¹ And Jeshu had compassion on him, and stretched forth his hand, touched him, and said, I will, be clean. ⁴² And in that very hour his leprosy went from him, and he was cleansed. ⁴³ And he restrained him, and led him forth, ⁴⁴ and said to him, See lest thou tell any one; but go, show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy purification as Musha commanded for their testimony. ⁴⁵ But he, when he was gone forth, began to announce it much, and so divulged the matter as that Jeshu could not go openly in the city, but was without in a solitary part: and they came to him from every place.

⁵ But they said, In Beth-lechem of Jehuda; for so it is written in the prophet:

¹ THEN Jeshu was led by the Spirit of Holiness into the desert, that he should be tempted by the Accuser. ² And he fasted forty days and forty nights; but afterward he hungered. ³ And he who tempteth approached and said, If the Son thou art of Aloha, say that these stones shall become bread.

³ And he who tempteth approached and said, If the Son thou art of Aloha, say that these stones shall become bread. ⁴ But he answered and said, It is written that not by bread alone liveth the Son of man, but by every word which proceedeth from the mouth of Aloha. ⁵ Then the Accuser taketh him to the holy city, and caused him to stand on the pinnacle of the temple; ⁶ and said to him, If the Son thou art of Aloha, throw thyself down; for it is written that his angels he shall command concerning thee, and upon their hands they shall bear thee, that thou strike not against a stone thy foot. ⁷ Jeshu said to him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy Aloha. ⁸ Again the Accuser took him to a mountain which is exceeding high, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; ⁹ and said to him, These all to thee will I give, if thou wilt fall and worship me, ¹⁰ Then said Jeshu to him, Away with thee, Satana! for it is written that the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only thou shalt serve. ¹¹ Then the Accuser left him, and, behold, the angels drew nigh and ministered unto him. ¹² BUT when Jeshu heard that Juchanan was perfected, he removed into Galila. ¹³ And he left Natsrath, and came and dwelt in Kaphar-Nachum by the sea-side [By the hand of the sea] on the borders of Zabolon and of Naptholi.

¹⁷ From that time began Jeshu to preach, and to say, Repent! for the kingdom of heaven hath drawn nigh. ¹⁸ And while he walked by the sea of Galila, he saw two brethren, Shemun who was called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, who were casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishers. ¹⁹ And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

²¹ And when he had passed thence, he saw two other brethren, Jakub-bar-Zabdai and Juchanan his brother, in a vessel with Zabdai their father, repairing their nets: and Jeshu called them; ²² and they forthwith left the vessel and their father, and went after him. ²³ And Jeshu perambulated all Galila, and taught in their synagogues, [Or assemblies, congregations] and preached the announcement of the kingdom, and healed all disease and affliction in the people. ²⁴ And his fame was heard in all Suria; and they brought to him all those who were grievously affected with various diseases, and those who were pressed down by strong pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and the paralysed; and he healed them. ²⁵ And there went after him great gatherings from Galila, and from the ten cities, and from Urishlem, and from Jehud, and from beyond Jurdan.

²⁸ And when Jeshu had finished these words, the multitudes wondered at his doctrine. ²⁹ For he taught them as one having power, and not as their scribes and the Pharishee.

² And, behold, a certain leper came (and) worshipped him, and said, My Lord, if thou art willing, thou canst cleanse me. ³ And Jeshu extended his hand, and touched him, and said, I am willing: be clean; and in that very hour his leprosy was cleansed. ⁴ And Jeshu said to him, See that thou tell no man, but go, show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation that Musha required for their testimony.

¹⁴ AND Jeshu came to the house of Shemun, and saw his mother-in-law lying, a fever having seized her. ¹⁵ And he touched her with his hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and ministered to them. ¹⁶ And when it was evening, they brought before him many demoniacs, and he cast out their devils by a word; and all those who were heavily afflicted he healed.

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.

² But Juchanon, when he heard in the house of the bound the works of the Meshicha, sent by his disciples,

⁵ (that) the blind see, the lame are walking, the lepers are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead arise, and the poor are evangelized;

¹⁰ For this is he concerning whom it is written, Behold, I send my angel before thy face, to prepare the way before thee.

²² THEN they brought to him a certain demoniac who was dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind could speak and see. ²³ And all the multitude were amazed, and said, Is not this the Son of David?

⁴³ When the unclean spirit shall have gone forth from a child of man, he wandereth through places that have no waters in them, and seeketh repose, but findeth (it) not.

⁵⁴ and came to his city, and taught them in their synagogues, so that they were astounded and said, Whence hath he (Whence to him) this wisdom and these powers?

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.

²³ And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up to a mountain by himself, to pray.

³³ And they who were in the ship, came and adored him, and said, Truly the Son thou art of Aloha.

²⁸ Then said Jeshu to her, O woman, great is thy faith! be it to thee as thou wilt! And healed was her daughter from that hour.

²⁷ THEN answered Kipha and said to him, Behold, we have abandoned every thing, and have come after thee: what then shall there be for us? 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. ²⁹ And every man who hath relinquished houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, on account of my name, shall receive a hundred-fold, and shall inherit the life of eternity. ³⁰ Many however are first who shall be last, and the last first.

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. ³² For Juchanon came to you in the way of righteousness; and you believed him not. But the tribute-takers and harlots believed him: but you neither when you saw (him, nor) afterwards, repented, that you might believe him.

² and said to them, Upon the chair of Musha sit the scribes and the Pharishee. ³ Every thing, therefore, which they tell you to observe, observe and do; but after their practices do not act; for they say, and do not.

¹⁶ Woe to you, ye blind guides, who say, That [to him] who sweareth by the temple, it is nothing; but if he swear by the gold which is in the temple, he is liable! ¹⁷ You senseless and blind! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And (that) whoever sweareth by the altar, it is nothing; but [if] he swear by the oblation which is upon it, he is liable. ¹⁹ You foolish and sightless! for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation? ²⁰ He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things that are upon it. ²¹ And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by whatever abideth in it. ²² And whosoever sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of Aloha, and by Him who sitteth thereon. ²³ Woe to you, scribes, Pharishee, hypocrites! because you tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and omit the more grave [requirements] of the law, - justice, benignity, and faithfulness. For these you should have done, and those not omitted. ²⁴ You blind guides, who strain out gnats and swallow camels.

²⁴ And the Son of man goeth as it is written concerning him; but woe to him, to that man by whom [By whose hand.] the Son of man is betrayed! Better had it been for that man if he had not been born.

³¹ THEN said Jeshu unto them, You all shall be offended in me this night; for it is written, I will strike the shepherd, and scattered shall be the sheep of his flock.

⁵³ Or thinkest thou that I cannot request from my Father, and he shall appoint to me now more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁵ (And) many women were there, beholding from afar; those who had come after Jeshu from Galila, and had ministered unto him.

¹⁵ But they, when they had received the money, did as they had instructed them; and that saying went forth among the Jihudoyee until to-day.

⁵ And all the region of Jehud and all the sons of Urishlem went out to him; and he baptized them in Jurdan the river, while they were confessing their sins.

¹⁶ And while he walked about the sea of Galila, he saw Shemun and Andreas his brother, who were casting nets into the sea: for they were fishers. ¹⁷ And Jeshu said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men. ¹⁸ And at once they forsook their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And when he had passed on a little, he saw Jakub bar Zabdai and Juchanon his brother; and they also were in a vessel, preparing their nets. ²⁰ And he called them; and forthwith they left Zabdai their father with the hirelings, and went after him. ²¹ And when they were come to Kapher-nachum, he forthwith taught on the sabbaths in their assemblies.

²³ And there was in their assembly a man who had an unclean spirit:

²⁵ And Jeshu restrained him, and said, Close thy mouth, and come forth from him.

³¹ And he approached, took her by her hand; and she arose, and at once the fever left her, and she served them.

³⁴ and he healed multitudes who were grievously affected with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and would not permit the demons to speak; for they knew him.

³⁹ And he preached in all their assemblies in all Galila, and cast out devils.

⁴⁵ But he, when he was gone forth, began to announce it much, and so divulged the matter as that Jeshu could not go openly in the city, but was without in a solitary part: and they came to him from every place.

¹ AND Jeshu entered again into Kapher-nachum for some days. And when they had heard that he was in the house,

¹ AND Jeshu entered again into Kapher-nachum for some days. And when they had heard that he was in the house, ² many were gathered together, so that it could not contain them, nor yet (the space) before the gate; and he spake with them the word.

¹³ AND he went forth again to the sea; and the whole multitude came to him, and he taught them.

² and they watched him whether he would cure him on the shabath, that they might accuse him.

⁷ And Jeshu with his disciples went towards the sea: and many people joined him from Galila, and from Jehud,

¹¹ And they who were troubled with impure spirits, when they saw him, fell down, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of Aloha. ¹² And he strongly prohibited them to make him known.

¹² And he strongly prohibited them to make him known.

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,

³⁹ And he arose, and restrained the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be silent. And the wind ceased, and there was a great stillness.

² And when he had come from the vessel, there met him from the place of tombs a man who had an unclean spirit,

⁷ and cried with a high voice, and said, What to me and to thee, Jeshu, Son of Aloha the Most High? I adjure thee by Aloha, that thou torment me not!

²³ and besought him much, saying to him, My daughter is greatly afflicted; come, lay thy hand upon her, and she will be healed, and live.

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

³⁷ And he did not permit any one to go with him, except Shemun Kipha, and Jacub, and Juchanon, brother of Jacub.

⁴¹ And he took the hand of the damsel, and said to her, Damsel, arise.

⁴³ And he charged them greatly that no one should know this, and spake that they should give her (somewhat) to eat.

² And when it was shabath, he began to teach in the house of the congregation: and many who heard wondered, and said, Whence to him are these? and what is this wisdom which hath been given him, that miracles such as these by his hands should be done?

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.

⁴⁶ and when he had sent them away, he went to a mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ BUT when it was eventide, the bark was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone upon the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them that they were distressed with rowing; for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night Jeshu came to them walking upon the waters, (as though) he willed to pass by them:

³ For all the Jihudoyee and Pharishee, unless they carefully wash their hands, do not eat, because they hold the tradition of the elders; ⁴ and (coming) from the market, unless they lave,[Baptize.] they eat not. And many other of those (things) there are which they have received to observe, (as) the baptisms of cups, and of measures, and of brasen utensils, and of beds. ⁵ And the Sophree and Pharishee questioned him, Why do not your disciples walk according to the tradition of the elders; but, while their hands are not washed, eat bread? ⁶ But he said to them, Well prophesied concerning you Eshaia the prophet, you hypocrites; [Assumers of faces.] as it is written, This people with their lips honour me, but their heart is very far from me. ⁷ But in vain do they reverence me while they teach the teachings of the commandments of men.[Sons of man.] ⁸ For you have abandoned the commandment of God and hold the tradition of men, as the baptisms of cups and measures, and many things like these. ⁹ He said to them (moreover), You decently* suppress the commandment of God, that you may establish your tradition. *[Decenter, SCHAFF. " speciously."] ¹⁰ For Musha hath said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and whosoever curseth father and mother, the death he shall die. ¹¹ But you say, If a man shall say to his father, or to his mother, My oblation, (be that) whatever from me thou mayest profit; ¹² and you permit him not to do any thing for his father and his mother. ¹³ But you reject the word of Aloha for the sake of the tradition which you have delivered: and many similar (observances) to these you practise.

²⁵ For immediately heard a certain woman concerning him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit; and she came, (and) fell before his feet.

³⁰ And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on the couch, and [that] the demon had gone out from her.

³⁶ And he charged them that to no man they should tell this. But so much as he charged them, they the more proclaimed it; ³⁷ and they were exceedingly astonished, and said, He doeth every thing well; the deaf he maketh to hear, and them who spoke not, to speak.

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:

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.]

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.

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.

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.

¹ AND he arose from thence, and came to the borders of Jehud on the other side of the Jurdan: and great multitudes went thither to him; and he taught them again as he was accustomed.

¹⁷ AND as he journeyed in the way, one ran, fell upon his knees, and asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

²⁴ But his disciples were astonished at his words. And Jeshu answered again, and said to them, My sons, how hard (is it) for those who trust on their riches to enter into the kingdom of Aloha!

²⁸ THEN began Kipha to say, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have cleaved to thee. ²⁹ Jeshu responded and said, Amen I say to you, There is no man who forsaketh houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of me, and on account of my gospel,

²⁹ Jeshu responded and said, Amen I say to you, There is no man who forsaketh houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of me, and on account of my gospel, ³⁰ who shall not receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecution; and in the world which cometh the life that is eternal. ³¹ But many (are) first who will be last, and last (who will be) first. ³² Now when they were going up in the way to Urishlem, Jeshu himself preceded them; and they were amazed, and came after him, fearing. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what it was which was to happen to him.

³⁵ AND Jacub and Juchanon, sons of Zabdai, approached him, saying to him, Malphona, we would that whatever we ask thou wilt do for us.

³³ And he took with him Kipha and Jacub and Juchanon, and began to be sorrowful and agonized.

⁴¹ those who, when he was in Galila, adhered to him, and ministered to him, and many others who went up with him to Urishlem.

² according to that which they have delivered to us, (they) who from the first were eye-witnesses and ministers of his doctrine; ³ it appeared also to me, that having been intimately near to them all, I should record every thing in its order for thee, illustrious Theophile,

¹⁵ for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong liquor [Shak'ra.] shall he not drink, and with the Spirit of Holiness shall he be filled, from the womb of his mother. ¹⁶ And many of the sons of Isroel shall he convert to the Lord their Aloha. 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.

³⁵ The angel answered and said to her, The Spirit of Holiness shall come, and the Power of the Most High [Eloia.] shall shadow over thee; on account of this He who (shall be) born from thee is the Holy, and the Son of Aloha shall be called.

⁷⁰ As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from of old,

⁷⁶ And thou, child, the Prophet of the Most High shalt thou be called; for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, and thou shalt prepare his way; ⁷⁷ To give the knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins,

¹⁰ And the angel said to them, Fear not; for, behold, I announce to you great joy, which shall be to all people: ¹¹ for there is born for you to-day the Redeemer, who is the Lord the Meshicha, in the city of David.

⁴⁹ He saith to them, Why have you sought me (elsewhere)? Knew you not that (in) the house of my Father it behoveth me to be?

³ And he came into the whole country about the Jurdan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Eshaia the prophet, who said, The voice which crieth in the desert, prepare the way of the Lord, and make straight in the plain the highways for our Aloha.

⁴ As it is written in the book of the words of Eshaia the prophet, who said, The voice which crieth in the desert, prepare the way of the Lord, and make straight in the plain the highways for our Aloha. ⁵ All valleys shall be filled, and all mountains and heights be brought low, and the mound shall be a level (place), and the rough place a plain,

⁵ All valleys shall be filled, and all mountains and heights be brought low, and the mound shall be a level (place), and the rough place a plain, ⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of Aloha.

⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of Aloha. ⁷ And he said to those multitudes who came to him to be baptized, O brood of vipers, who hath showed you to flee from the wrath that cometh? ⁸ Work therefore fruits which are worthy of repentance. And begin not to say within yourselves that Abraham is father to us; for I tell you, that from these stones Aloha is able to raise up sons unto Abraham. ⁹ But, behold, the axe is laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore which good fruit maketh not, is cut down and into the fire falleth. ¹⁰ And the assemblies inquired of him, saying, What then shall we do? ¹¹ He answered and said to them, Whoever hath two tunics, let him give to him who hath none; and whoever hath food, so let him do (likewise). ¹² The publicans [Mokasee.] also came to be baptized, and they said to him, Malphona, what shall we do? ¹³ But he said to them, Demand not any thing more upon what is prescribed to you to require. ¹⁴ And the military servants asked of him and said, What shall we also do? And he said to them, Molest no man, oppress no man, and let your wages satisfy you. ¹⁵ But while the people thought concerning Juchanon, and all of them reasoned in their hearts whether he were the Meshicha, ¹⁶ Juchanon answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with waters, but there cometh after me He who is mightier than I; He, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose; He shall baptize you with the Spirit of Holiness and with fire:

¹⁶ Juchanon answered and said to them, Behold, I baptize you with waters, but there cometh after me He who is mightier than I; He, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose; He shall baptize you with the Spirit of Holiness and with fire:

²⁰ added this also upon all, and shut up Juchanon in the house of the chained. ²¹ But it was when he had baptized all the people, and also Jeshu he baptized. And while he prayed, the heavens were opened, 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.

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.

¹ BUT Jeshu, being full of the Spirit of Holiness, returned from the Jurdan, and the Spirit led him into the desert, ² to be tempted forty days by the accuser.[Akelkartsa.] And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were fulfilled, afterwards he hungered. ³ And the accuser said to him, If thou art the Son of Aloha, tell this stone to become bread. ⁴ Jeshu answered and said to him, It is written, It is not by bread alone that the son of man liveth, but by every word of Aloha. 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. ⁸ But Jeshu answered and said to him, It is written, That the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only shalt thou serve. ⁹ And he caused him to be at Urishlem, and to stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of Aloha, throw thyself from hence beneath: ¹⁰ for it is written, His angels he shall charge concerning thee to keep thee, ¹¹ and upon their arms to bear thee up, that thou strike not thy foot against a stone. ¹² But Jeshu answered and said to him, It is spoken, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy Aloha. ¹³ And when the accuser had accomplished all his temptations, he removed from him for a time.

¹⁶ And he came to Natsrath where he had grown up; and he went out, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the day of shabath, and he stood up to read. ¹⁷ And there was given to him the book of Eshaia the prophet, and Jeshu opened the book and found the place where it is written,

¹⁷ And there was given to him the book of Eshaia the prophet, and Jeshu opened the book and found the place where it is written, ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to evangelize to the poor, and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, to proclaim to the captives release, and to the blind, vision, and to assure the contrite by remission,

¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to evangelize to the poor, and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, to proclaim to the captives release, and to the blind, vision, and to assure the contrite by remission, ¹⁹ And to proclaim the year of acceptance of the Lord.

¹⁹ And to proclaim the year of acceptance of the Lord. ²⁰ And he rolled the book, and gave it to the minister, and went and sat down; but the eyes of all them in the synagogue beheld him. ²¹ And he began to say to them, Today is fulfilled this scripture which is in your ears.

³¹ AND he went down to Kapher-nachum, a city of Galila, and instructed them on the shabath. ³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for with power was his word.

³² And they were astonished at his doctrine, for with power was his word. ³³ And there was in the synagogue a man who had the spirit of an unclean devil, and he cried with a high voice, ³⁴ and said, Leave me, what to us and to thee, Jeshu Natsroia? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of Aloha.

³⁴ and said, Leave me, what to us and to thee, Jeshu Natsroia? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of Aloha. 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.

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. 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.

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. ³⁷ And there went out the fame concerning him into all the region which surrounded them.

³⁷ And there went out the fame concerning him into all the region which surrounded them. ³⁸ And when Jeshu had gone forth from the synagogue, he entered into the house of Shemun; and the mother-in-law of Shemun was afflicted with a great fever, and they besought him on behalf of her; ³⁹ and he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and she rose up at once and ministered to them. ⁴⁰ But at the setting of the sun all they who had diseased ones, who were diseased with various diseases, brought them to him, and he upon every one of them laid his hand, and healed them. ⁴¹ And he cast forth also devils from many, (they) crying out, and saying, Thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha. And he rebuked them, and suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was the Meshicha. ⁴² And at the dawn of day he departed, and went to a desert place; and the people sought him, and came to him, and held him, that he should not go from them: ⁴³ but Jeshu said to them, To other cities also must I go to announce the kingdom of Aloha, for concerning this I have been sent.

⁴³ but Jeshu said to them, To other cities also must I go to announce the kingdom of Aloha, for concerning this I have been sent.

⁴³ but Jeshu said to them, To other cities also must I go to announce the kingdom of Aloha, for concerning this I have been sent. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galila.

¹ AND it was while the assembly gathered upon him to hear the word of Aloha, he stood upon the bank of the sea of Genesar; ² and he saw two vessels standing by the sea-side, and the fishermen who had gone up from them, and were washing their nets. ³ And one of them was of Shemun Kipha; and Jeshu ascended, sat in it, and directed that they should take [Or, lead it.] it a little from the land into the waters; and he sat, and taught the multitudes from the vessel. ⁴ And when he was silent from his discourses, he said to Shemun, Lead into the deep, and cast forth your nets for a draught. 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. ⁶ And when they had this done, they enclosed great multitudes of fishes, and their net brake. ⁷ And they signed to their companions, who were in another vessel, to come and help them. And when they had come, they filled those two vessels, so that they were nigh to be swallowed up. ⁸ But when Shemun Kipha saw, he fell before the feet of Jeshu and said to him, I pray from thee, my Lord, remove thee from me, for I am a man a sinner. ⁹ For amazement had seized him, and all who were with him, on account of the draught of fishes which they had taken. ¹⁰ Even so also Jacub and Juchanon, sons of Zabdai, who were partners of Shemun. But Jeshu said, Fear not, from henceforth the sons of men shalt thou catch unto life.

¹⁰ Even so also Jacub and Juchanon, sons of Zabdai, who were partners of Shemun. But Jeshu said, Fear not, from henceforth the sons of men shalt thou catch unto life. ¹¹ And they brought the vessels to land, and forsook every thing, and went after him.

¹¹ And they brought the vessels to land, and forsook every thing, and went after him. ¹² AND when Jeshu was in one of the cities, there came a certain man who was wholly filled with leprosy; he saw Jeshu, and fell upon his face, and prayed of him, and said to him, My Lord, if thou art willing, thou canst make me clean. ¹³ And Jeshu extended his hand, touched him, and said to him, I am willing; be clean. And in an instant his leprosy went from him. ¹⁴ And he commanded him, Tell no man, but go show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy cleansing, as Musha ordained for their testimony.

¹⁴ And he commanded him, Tell no man, but go show thyself to the priests, and offer the oblation for thy cleansing, as Musha ordained for their testimony. ¹⁵ And the fame concerning him went forth the more, and much people were gathered together to hear him and to be healed from their diseases. ¹⁶ And he passed away into the desert, and prayed.

¹⁶ And he passed away into the desert, and prayed. ¹⁷ And it was on one of the days, while Jeshu was teaching, (certain) Pharishee and doctors of the law were sitting. And they had come from all the villages of Galila and of Jehud, and from Urishlem: and the power of the Lord was (there) to heal them.

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.

¹⁴ - Shemun, he whose name was Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jacub, and Juchanon, and Philipos, and Bar Tholmai,

⁶ And Jeshu went with them. But when he was not greatly distant from the house, the centurion sent to him his friends, saying to him, My Lord, labour not, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter beneath my roof. ⁷ Wherefore I was not worthy to come to thee; but speak by a word, and my youth shall be healed.

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. ¹³ And Jeshu beheld her, and had compassion upon her, and said to her, Weep not.

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

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, ² and those women who had been healed from infirmities and from evil spirits, Mariam who was called Magdalitha, she from whom he had cast out seven devils, ³ and Juchana the wife of Kusa, chief of the household of Herodes, and Shushan, and many others, who ministered unto him from their possessions.

²⁸ But when he saw Jeshu, he cried out, and fell before him, and said in a high voice, What to us and to thee, Jeshu, son of Aloha Marima? [God the Most High.] I beseech of thee, torment me not.

³⁷ And the whole multitude of the Godroyee besought of Jeshu that he would go from them, because great fear had taken them. And he, Jeshu, ascended the ship, and returned from them.

⁵⁶ And her parents were astonished; but he cautioned them that no man they should tell what he had done.

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

³⁵ And the voice was from the cloud, saying, This is my Son, the Beloved, Him hear.

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.

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.

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.

⁹ And heal those who are sick, and say to them, There hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.

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.

¹⁵ And thou, Kapher-nachum, which unto heaven art lifted up, unto Shiul shalt thou be abased.

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. ²⁰ Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the demons are subject to you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

²² but if a stronger than he shall come, he shall overcome him; all his armour he taketh on which he depended, and he divideth his spoils.

¹⁰ AS Jeshu was teaching on a shabath in one of the synagogues,

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.

³³ So every one of you who doth not leave all his possession, cannot be unto me a disciple.

¹² And as he drew near to enter a certain village, there met him ten men, lepers, and they stood from afar, ¹³ and lifted up their voice and said, Our Lord Jeshu, have mercy upon us! ¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed.

¹⁴ And when he saw them, he said to them, Go show yourselves to the priests. And as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵ Then one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned to him, and with a high voice glorified Aloha. ¹⁶ And he fell upon his face before the feet of Jeshu, and thanked him. And, behold, this was a Shomroya. ¹⁷ And Jeshu answered and said, Were not they who were cleansed ten? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ None have separated to come (and) give praise to Aloha, but this, who is from a strange people. ¹⁹ And he said to him, Arise, go; thy faith hath saved thee.

²⁸ Shemun Kipha said to him, Behold, we have forsaken every thing, and have come after thee. ²⁹ Jeshu saith to him, Amen I say to you, That no man who leaveth houses, or fathers, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of Aloha, ³⁰ and shall not receive by two-fold (as) many in this time, and in the world that cometh the life that is eternal. 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.

¹⁵ for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries cannot stand against.

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,

⁴¹ And he removed from them as (about the distance of) a stone's throw, and bowed the knee, and prayed, ⁴² and said, Father, if thou wilt, let this cup pass: nevertheless not my will, but thine be done. ⁴³ And an angel appeared to him from heaven, who strengthened him. ⁴⁴ And being in terror, more vehemently he prayed, and his sweat was as drops of blood, and fell upon the ground. 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.

¹⁹ He saith to them, What? They say to him, Concerning Jeshu, who was of Natsrath, a man who was a prophet, and mighty in word and in deed before Aloha, and before all the people.

⁴⁷ and that in his name should be preached repentance and the forgiveness of sins among all nations, and that the commencement should be from Urishlem.

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 Juchanon testified concerning him, and cried, and said, This is he of whom I said, that he cometh after me, and was before* me, because he is anterior** to me. [* Kedom, coram, ante. ** Kadomi, antiquus, vetus, prior, anterior.]

¹⁹ And this was the testimony of Juchanon, when the Jihudoyee sent to him from Urishlem priests and Levoyee to demand of him, Who art thou? ²⁰ And he confessed, and denied not, but confessed, I am not the Meshicha. 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. ²² And they said to him, And who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? ²³ He saith, I am the voice which crieth in the wilderness, Make plain the way of the Lord, as said Eshaia the prophet. ²⁴ But they who were sent were from the Pharishee. ²⁵ And they demanded and said to him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Meshicha, nor Elia, nor the Prophet? ²⁶ Juchanon answered and said to them, I baptize you with waters; but he standeth among you whom you know not: ²⁷ he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁷ he it is who cometh after me, and he was before me; he, the latchets of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁸ These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing.

²⁸ These things were done in Bethania, at the passage of the Jurdan, where Juchanon was baptizing. 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! ³⁰ This is he concerning whom I said, After me cometh a man, and he was before me, because he is anterior to me. ³¹ And I knew him not, but that he should be made known unto Isroel, therefore have I come with waters to baptize. ³² And Juchanon testified and said, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and it remained upon him. ³³ And I knew him not: but he who sent me to baptize with water, he said to me, He upon whom thou seest the Spirit descend and remain, this baptizeth with the Spirit of Holiness: ³⁴ and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha

³⁴ and I saw, and bare witness that this is the Son of Aloha

⁴⁰ Now one of those who heard Juchanon and went after Jeshu, was Andreas, the brother of Shemun. ⁴¹ This saw first Shemun his brother, and said to him, We have found the Meshicha; ⁴² and he brought him to Jeshu. And Jeshu saw him, and said, Thou art Shemun bar Jona; thou shalt be called Kipha.[Pronounced Kepha.]

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

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.

²² AFTER these came Jeshu and his disciples into the land of Jihuda, and there conversed with them and baptized. ²³ But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized;

²³ But Juchanon also was baptizing in Ein-yon, near Sholim, because the waters were there many; and they came and were baptized; ²⁴ for not yet was Juchanon cast into the house of the bound.

²⁶ And they came to Juchanon, and said to him, Raban, he who was with thee at the passage of Jurdan, (and) concerning whom thou didst give witness, he also baptizeth, and many come to him.

²⁸ You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle [Shelicho.] before him.

²⁸ You bear me witness that I said, I am not the Meshicha, but I am an apostle [Shelicho.] before him. ²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete.

²⁹ He that hath the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth and attendeth him, with great joy rejoiceth on account of the voice of the bridegroom: this my joy therefore, behold, is complete. ³⁰ To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease.

³⁰ To him it must be to increase, and to me to decrease. ³¹ For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all.

³¹ For he who from above hath come, is above all; and he who is from the earth, is of the earth, and of the earth speaketh: he who from heaven hath come, is above all. ³² And what he hath seen and heard he testifieth, and his testimony no man receiveth. ³³ But he who hath received his, hath sealed that the true Aloha is he.[D'Aloha sharira-u: compare the same words, 1Jo 1:20.] ³⁴ For he whom Aloha hath sent, the very words of Aloha speaketh; for it was not in measure that Aloha gave the Spirit. 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.

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

⁵⁰ Jeshu saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed in the word which Jeshu had spoken to him, and went. ⁵¹ But as he was going down, his servants met him, and gave him good news,[Sabaruhi.] saying to him, Thy son liveth. ⁵² And he asked at what time he was healed. They say to him, Yesterday, at seven hours, the fever left him. ⁵³ And his father knew that in that hour it was in which Jeshu said to him, Thy son liveth; and he believed, and all his house.

²⁰ For the Father loveth the Son, and every thing that he doeth he showeth him; and greater than these works he showeth him, that you may wonder. ²¹ For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth, so also the Son quickeneth those whom he willeth. 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.

³⁷ And the Father who hath sent me, he testifieth of me: but his voice you have never heard, nor his appearance seen.

² and great multitudes went after him, because they had seen the signs which he wrought on the diseased.

⁸ Saith to him one of his disciples, Andreas, brother of Shemun Kipha,

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.

⁶⁹ and we believe and know that thou art the Meshicha, the Son of Aloha the Living.

⁴⁶ The officers say to them, Never so spake a son of man as speaks this man!

⁴ Me it behoveth to do the works of Him who sent me, while it is to-day: the night cometh when man cannot work.

³ And his two sisters sent unto Jeshu, saying, Our Lord, he whom thou lovest is sick.

⁴⁸ and if we leave him thus, all men will believe on him, and the Rumoyee, coming, take away our country and our people.

¹⁹ But the Pharishee said one to another, See you that you do not profit any thing! For, behold, the whole world is gone after him.

²² And Philipos came and told Andreas, and Andreas and Philipos told Jeshu.

²⁸ Father, glorify thy name. And the voice was heard from heaven, I have glorified, and again I glorify.[Schabechth, vatoob maschbach-no.] ²⁹ And the company who stood, heard, and they said there was thunder. But others said, An angel spake with him. ³⁰ Jeshu answered and said to them, Not on my account was this voice, but on your account.

³ Now are you clean because of the word which I have spoken with you.

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

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

⁸ And the words that thou gavest me I have given them, and they have received, and have known assuredly that from thee I came forth, and have believed that thou didst send me.

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.

¹ THE former writing, O Theophilus, I wrote concerning all those (things) which our Lord Jeshu Meshiha began to do and to teach, 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:

⁵ For Juhanon baptized with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness after days not many.

¹³ And after they had entered, they ascended to that upper room in which were Petros, and Juhanon, and Jakub, and Andros, and Philipos, and Thoma, and Mathai, and Bar Tolmai, and Jakub bar Halphai, and Shemun the Zealous, and Jihuda bar Jakub.

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

¹⁷ It shall be in the last days, saith Aloha, I will pour [out] my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams:

²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in Shiul, nor give thy Saint to see corruption.

³⁶ Assuredly, then, let all the house of Israel know, that Lord and Meshiha hath Aloha made this Jeshu, whom you crucified. ³⁷ AND when they heard, they were pierced in their heart,* and said to Shemun and to the rest of the apostles, What shall we do, brethren? [* Consternavit, permovit animo. Ethpa. Perculsus, permotus, compunctus est.] ³⁸ Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

³⁸ Shemun saith to them, Repent, and be baptized, every man of you, in the name of the Lord Jeshu, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹ For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all them who are afar off, whom Aloha himself shall call. ⁴⁰ And with many other words he testified to them and entreated of them, saying, Save (yourselves) from this perverse generation. ⁴¹ And some of them eagerly received his word and believed and were baptized, and there were added in that day as three thousand souls.

¹⁴ but you the Holy and the Just denied, and demanded for you the man the murderer to be given to you.

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,

¹⁰ and were not able to stand against the wisdom and the spirit which spake in him.

⁶⁰ And kneeling down, he cried with a high voice, and said, Our Lord, let not this sin arise against them. And when this he had said, he slept.

²¹ And all they who heard him wondered, and they said, Is not this he who persecuted all those who call upon this name in Urishlem? And behold, also, hither upon the self-same (object) was he sent to bind and take them to the chief priests. ²² BUT Shaol was the more strengthened, and moved those Jihudoyee who dwelt at Darmsuk, while he showed that this is the Meshiha.

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

³⁷ And you also know by the word which hath been in all Jihud (which began) from Galila after the baptism which Juhanon preached,

⁴⁵ And the circumcised brethren who had come with him were astonished and amazed, because upon the Gentiles also the gift of the Spirit of Holiness was poured out.

¹⁵ And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from the beginning. ¹⁶ And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.

² And he killed with the sword Jakub the brother of Juhanon.

¹⁴ But they went forth from Perga, and came to Antiokia, the city of Pisidia. And they entered the synagogue, and sat on the day of shabath. ¹⁵ And after the law and the prophets had been read, the presbyters of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Men, brethren, have you a word of exhortation to say to the people? ¹⁶ And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them: Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! ¹⁷ The God of this people elected our fathers, and exalted and magnified them, when they were sojourners in the land of Metsreen, and with uplifted arm brought them out therefrom. ¹⁸ And he nourished them in the desert forty years. ¹⁹ And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. ²⁰ And four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, until Shamuel the prophet; ²¹ and then prayed they for themselves a king; and Aloha gave to them Shaol-bar-Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years. ²² And he took him, and raised unto them David the king, and testified of him, and said, I have found David, the son of Jeshai, a man according to my heart; he will perform all my will. ²³ From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer. ²⁴ And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel.

²⁴ And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole people of Israel. ²⁵ And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁵ And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.

²⁵ And while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose. ²⁶ MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life. 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. ³⁰ But Aloha raised him from among the dead. ³¹ And he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people. ³² And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our fathers, ³³ behold, Aloha hath fulfilled it to their children, (in) that he hath raised up Jeshu; as it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. ³⁴ And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; ³⁵ as he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David. And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint to see corruption. ³⁶ For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption. ³⁷ But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption. ³⁸ Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins; ³⁹ and from all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified. ⁴⁰ Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written in the prophets: ⁴¹ Behold, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days which you will not believe if one should declare it to you. ⁴² And when they had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words. ⁴³ And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha. ⁴⁴ AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.

⁴⁴ AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha. ⁴⁵ And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed. ⁴⁶ But Paulos and Bar Naba said to them openly, To you it behoved first to speak the word of Aloha; but because you repel it from you, and determine against yourselves that you are not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath our Lord commanded, as it is written, I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, to be for salvation to the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed [Or, set unto.] unto eternal life. ⁴⁹ And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region. ⁵⁰ But the Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and [certain] rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds. ⁵¹ And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city. ⁵² And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.

¹⁶ AND it was while we went to the house of prayer, a certain damsel met us in whom was a spirit of divination, and she had produced her lords much gain by her divination. ¹⁷ And she came after Paulos and after us, and cried and said, These men are the servants of Aloha the Most High, and announce to us the way of salvation.

¹⁷ And she came after Paulos and after us, and cried and said, These men are the servants of Aloha the Most High, and announce to us the way of salvation. ¹⁸ And this she did many days. And Paulos was indignant, and said to that spirit, I command thee in the name of Jeshu Meshiha to come out of her. And in that hour it came out.

² AND Paulos entered, as his custom was, with them, and three shabaths spoke to them from the scriptures,

⁴ And he discoursed in the synagogue every shabath, and persuaded the Jihudoyee and the Heathens.

³ He saith to them, And into what were you baptized? They said, Into the baptism of Juhanon. ⁴ Paulos saith to them, Juhanon baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in him who was coming after him, who is Jeshu Meshiha.

⁴ Paulos saith to them, Juhanon baptized the people with the baptism of repentance, saying that they should believe in him who was coming after him, who is Jeshu Meshiha. ⁵ And when they heard these (words), they were baptized in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ⁶ And Paulos laid on them the hand, and the Spirit of Holiness came upon them, and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

¹⁸ And many of those who believed came and acknowledged their sins, and confessed whatever they had done.

²¹ while I testified to Jihudoyee and to Aramoyee concerning repentance that is toward Aloha, and faith which is in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

²⁵ And now, I know that again my face you will not see, you, all, among whom I have gone about, preaching to you the kingdom of Aloha.

¹⁶ And now why delayest thou? Arise, baptize, and be washed from thy sins, while thou callest his Name.

⁵ For we have found this man to be a destroyer, and an exciter of agitation among all the Jihudoyee, and in all the land: for he is a chief of the doctrine of the Natsroyee,

²³ AND they appointed him a day; and many assembled and came where he sojourned; and he explained to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha, testifying and persuading them concerning Jeshu, from the law of Musha and from the prophets, from the morning until the evening.

¹ PAULOS, a servant of Jeshu Meshiha, called, and an apostle, who hath been separated unto the gospel of Aloha, ² which from of old he had promised by the hand of the prophets, in the holy writings, ³ concerning his Son, who was born, according to the flesh, of the seed of the house of David, ⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

⁴ and is known [Or, acknowledged.] (to be) the Son of Aloha by power, and by the Holy Spirit, who raised him from among the dead, Jeshu Meshiha our Lord:

³ Because the law was weak through the infirmity of the flesh, Aloha sent his Son in the likeness of the flesh of sin, on account of sin to condemn sin in his flesh;

³² And if his Son be spared not, but for all of us delivered him up, how will he not with him give us all things?

⁴ For every thing that hath before been written for our instruction was written, that by the patience and consolation of the scriptures we might have hope.

²⁶ (to Him) who alone is wise, BE GLORY BY JESHU MESHIHA, UNTO THE AGE OF AGES. AMEN.

⁵ or have we not authority a sister, a wife, to lead about with us, as the rest of the apostles, and as the brethren of our Lord, and as Kipha?

¹¹ For all these which happened to them were unto us an example, and were written for our instruction, upon whom come the ends of the world. [Trostius and Gutbir read, "The end of the worlds, or ages."]

¹³ For we all by one Spirit into one body are baptized; whether Jihudoyee or Aramoyee; whether servants or sons of freedom; and all of us have imbibed one Spirit.

² But we have rejected the secrets of shamefulness; and walk not with craft, nor deal deceitfully (with) the word of Aloha; but by the revelation of the truth make we ourselves manifest to the minds of all men before Aloha.

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."]

⁴ But when the fulness of the time had come, Aloha sent his Son, and made from a woman, and made under the law,

¹⁰ that in the dispensation of the fulness of the times, every thing from the first might be renovated in the Meshiha, in heaven and in earth.

¹⁷ And coming, he preached peace to you, to the far off, and to the nigh;

¹⁴ and I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

¹⁸ And with all prayers, and with all supplications, pray at all times in the Spirit, and in that prayer be watchful in all seasons, praying constantly and invoking on behalf of all the saints;

⁵ And feel [Or, be of this sentiment in yourselves.] this in yourselves, which Jeshu the Meshiha (did) also:

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,

¹³ and hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and brought us into the kingdom of his beloved Son,

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.

²⁵ that he may instruct them who would contend against him with meekness, if by any means Aloha may give them conversion, and they may acknowledge the truth, ²⁶ and be mindful of themselves, and remove from the snare of Satana, by whom they have been entrapped at his will.

¹⁰ For there are many who are not in subjection, and whose words are vain, and make the minds of men to err, especially those of the circumcision,

⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but by his own mercy he saved us, by the laving of the birth which is afresh, by the renewing of the Spirit of Holiness, ⁶ which he shed upon us abundantly, by Jeshu Meshiha our Saviour;

¹ IN manifold portions,* and in all manners, spake Aloha with our fathers by the prophets from the first: [* B'cull manon, in all portions. "Omnibus partibus, i. e., omnifariam, multifariam." SCHAFF.] ² but in these last days he hath spoken with us by his Son; whom he constituted the heir of every thing, and by whom he made the worlds; ³ who himself is the resplendence of his glory, and the image of his Being, and upholdeth all (things) by the power of his word; and he, in his (own) person, hath made purification of sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[The Greatness in the high places.]

¹⁷ Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [things pertaining] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁷ Therefore it was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in [things pertaining] to Aloha, and become an expiation for the sins of the people. ¹⁸ For in this, that he hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹² For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword,[The sword of two mouths.] and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart. 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.]

¹⁵ For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, [having been] tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.

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.

¹⁹ Thou believest that Aloha is one: thou doest well; the demons also believe and tremble.

¹⁴ and if he be sick, let him call for the presbyters of the church, and they will pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith shall make whole him who was sick, and our Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

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.

¹ WE announce [Mesabrinan.] to you that which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, and seen with our eyes, have seen, and touched with our hands, that which is the Word of life. ² And the life was manifested, and we have seen, and testify, and preach to you the eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested to us. ³ And what we have seen and heard, we make known also to you, that you may have communion with us; and our communion is with the Father, and with his Son Jeshu the Meshiha.

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

¹¹ And this is the testimony, That the life which is eternal, Aloha hath given to us, and this life is in his Son. ¹² Every one who apprehendeth [Cul d'achid labro.] the Son, apprehendeth also life; and every one who apprehendeth not the Son of Aloha, hath not life.

⁷ And to the angel of the church which is in Philadelphia write: These saith the Holy, the True, who hath the key of David; who openeth and no man shutteth,9 and who shutteth [Lit. holdeth.] and no man openeth.
