⁵⁰ And Jesus said to the woman: Thy faith hath given thee life. Go, in peace.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to her: Take courage, my daughter: Thy faith hath given thee life: Go in peace.

⁴² And Jesus said to him: See thou; thy faith hath vivified thee.

¹¹ Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you.

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.

²³ And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth. ²⁴ For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day.

¹¹ And when they heard these things, he proceeded to utter a similitude; because he was near to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was to be soon developed.

³⁶ Jesus said to him: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought, that I might not be delivered up to the Jews: but now, my kingdom is not from hence.

⁶ And they, when assembled, asked him and said to him: Our Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? ⁷ He said to them: It is not yours, to know the time or times which God hath placed in his own power.

²⁸ But if I by the Spirit of God cast out demons, the kingdom of God hath come near to you.

²³ Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, the Messiah is here, or is there; give no credence. ²⁴ For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: or, Behold, he is in a secret chamber; give no credence. ²⁷ As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. ²⁸ And wherever the carcass may be, there will the eagles be congregated.

²¹ Then, if any one shall say to you: Lo, here is Messiah, or lo, there; give not credence.

⁹ And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you. ¹⁰ And into whatever city ye enter, and they receive you not; go out into the street, and say: ¹¹ Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you.

²³ And if they shall say to you: Lo, here he is! or, Lo, there he is! go not forth.

⁸ And he said to them: See, that ye be not deceived; for many will come in my name, and will say: I am Messiah and the time is near. But go ye not after them.

²⁶ John answered, and said to them; I baptize with water; but among you standeth one, whom ye do not know.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God, is not food and drink; but is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which mystery is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

¹⁵ Jesus said to them: Can the children of the nuptial chamber fast, so long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast.

²⁰ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they will fast, in that day.

³⁵ But the days will come, when the bridegroom will be taken up from them, and then will they fast, in those days.

³⁵ Behold, your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you: Ye will not see me, until ye will say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

³³ And Jesus said: A little while longer I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me. ³⁴ And ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come. ³⁵ The Jews said among themselves: Whither is he about to go, that we cannot find him? Will he go to some region of the Gentiles, and teach the profane? ³⁶ What means this speech he uttered: Ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?

²¹ Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come. ²² The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, Whither I go ye cannot come? ²³ And he said to them: Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world ²⁴ I said to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am he, ye will die in your sins.

³⁵ Jesus said to them: A short time longer, the light is with you. Walk, while ye have the light, lest the darkness overtake you. He that walketh in the dark, knoweth not whither he goeth.

³³ My children, a little longer I am with you; and ye will seek for me; and, as I said to the Jews, Whither I go ye cannot come, so I now say to you.

⁵ But now, I am going to Him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? ⁶ And because I have told you these things, sorrow hath come and hath filled your hearts. ⁷ But I tell you the truth, that it is profitable for you that I go away; for, if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye will not see me; and again a little while, and ye will see me; because I go to the Father. ¹⁷ And his disciples said one to another: What is this that he saith to us, A little while, and ye will not see me and again a little while, and ye will see me, because I go to my Father? ¹⁸ And they said: What is this little while, of which he speaketh? We know not what he saith. ¹⁹ And Jesus knew, that they desired to ask him; and he said to them: Are ye debating with each other, of what I said to you, A little while, and ye will not see me, and again a little while, and ye will see me? ²⁰ Verily, verily, I say to you, That ye will weep and lament: And the world will rejoice, while to you will be sorrow. But your sorrow will be turned to joy. ²¹ A woman, in bringing forth, hath sorrow, for the day of her travail hath come: but when she hath brought forth a son, she remembereth not her anguish, because of the joy that a human being is born into the world. ²² Ye also now have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will deprive you of your joy.

¹¹ Henceforth I am not in the world; but these are in the world, and I go to thee. Holy Father, keep them in that thy name, which thou hast given to me; that they may be one, as we are. ¹² While I have been with them in the world, I have kept them in thy name. Those thou gavest me, have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that my joy may be complete in them.

²³ Then, if any one shall say to you, Lo, the Messiah is here, or is there; give no credence. ²⁴ For there will arise false Messiahs, and mendacious prophets; who will exhibit great signs, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand. ²⁶ If therefore they say to you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not out: or, Behold, he is in a secret chamber; give no credence.

²¹ Then, if any one shall say to you: Lo, here is Messiah, or lo, there; give not credence. ²² For false Messiahs will arise, and lying prophets; and they will give signs and wonders; and will deceive, if possible, even the elect. ²³ But take ye heed. Lo, I have told you the whole beforehand.

²¹ And they will not say: Behold, here it is! or, Behold, it is there! For lo, the kingdom of God is within you

²⁷ As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man.

³⁰ And then will be seen the signal of the Son of man in heaven: and then will all the tribes of the earth mourn, when they see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

³¹ And when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all his holy angels with him, then will he sit upon the throne of his glory.

⁶⁴ Jesus saith to him: Thou hast said. And I say to you, That hereafter ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

² for ye know assuredly, that the day of our Lord so cometh, as a thief by night.

² that ye be not soon agitated in your mind, nor be troubled, neither by word, nor by spirit, nor by letter, as coming from us, that lo, the day of our Lord is at hand.

⁸ then at length will that evil One be revealed; whom our Lord Jesus will consume by the breath of his mouth, and will bring to naught by the visibility of his advent.

⁸ So also be ye patient, and fortify your hearts; for the advent of our Lord draweth nigh

¹⁰ And the day of the Lord will come, like a thief; in which the heavens will suddenly pass away; and the elements, being ignited, will be dissolved; and the earth and the works in it, will not be found.

²¹ And from that time Jesus began to show to his disciples, that he was to go up to Jerusalem, and to suffer much from the Elders, and from the chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and on the third day arise.

²² And while they were resident in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of men; ²³ and they will kill him; and the third day he will arise. And it saddened them much.

¹⁸ Behold we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the Scribes, and they will condemn him to death. ¹⁹ And they will deliver him over to the Gentiles: and they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will crucify him; and the third day, he will arise.

⁴² Jesus said to them: Have ye never read in the scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner: this is from the Lord; and it is marvellous in our eyes?

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man was about to suffer much, and be rejected by the Elders and by the chief priests and by the Scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day.

³¹ :

³³ Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to die, and will deliver him over to the Gentiles.

¹⁰ And have ye not read this scripture, The stone which the builders rejected, hath become the head of the corner:

²² And he said to them: The Son of man is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the Elders and the chief priests and Scribes; and they will kill him; and on the third day, he will arise.

³¹ And Jesus took his twelve, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things written in the prophets, concerning the Son of man, will be fulfilled.

³³ and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise.

²⁵ Then Jesus said to them: O deficient in understanding, and slow of heart to believe all the things that the prophets uttered. ²⁶ Were not these things to be; that the Messiah should suffer and that he should enter into his glory?

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it was right for Messiah to suffer, and rise from the dead on the third day;

¹¹ He came to his own people; and his own people received him not.

³⁸ that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, who said: My Lord; who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

³⁷ And as the days of Noah, so will the coming of the Son of man be. ³⁸ For as, before the flood, they were eating and drinking, taking wives and giving to husbands, up to the day that Noah entered the ark, ³⁹ and knew not, until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man be.

²² And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when ye will long to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye will not see them.

²⁴ For, as the lightning darteth from the heavens, and illuminateth all beneath the heavens; so will the Son of man be, in his day.

⁸ I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Yet the Son of man will come; and will he find faith on the earth?

⁷ By faith Noah, when he was told of things not seen, feared; and he made himself an ark, for the life of his household; whereby he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

¹⁹ And he preached to those souls, which were detained in Hades, ²⁰ which were formerly disobedient, in the days of Noah, when the long suffering of God commanded an ark to be made, in hope of their repentance; and eight souls only entered into it, and were kept alive in the waters.

⁵ and spared not the former world, but preserved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood on the world of the wicked;

⁶ And, by means of these waters, the world which then was, being submerged again perished in the waters.

¹⁹ and I will say to my soul: My soul, thou hast good things in abundance, which are stored up for many years; take thy ease; eat, drink, and live in pleasure. ²⁰ But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?

¹⁹ And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury. ²⁰ And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers. ²¹ And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers. ²² And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. ²³ And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom.

¹ But concerning the times and seasons, my brethren, ye need not that I write to you: ² for ye know assuredly, that the day of our Lord so cometh, as a thief by night. ³ While they will be saying, Peace and quietness, then suddenly destruction will burst upon them, as distress upon a child-bearer, and they will not escape.

¹ O ye rich ones, wail and weep, on account of the miseries that are coming upon you. ² For your wealth is spoiled and putrid; and your garments are moth-eaten: ³ and your gold and your silver have contracted rust; and the rust of them will be testimony against you; and it will eat your flesh. Ye have heaped up a fire to you against the latter days. ⁴ Behold, the wages of the laborers who have reaped your ground, which ye have wrongfully retained, crieth out; and the clamor of the reapers hath entered the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. ⁵ For ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and revelled, and feasted your bodies as in a day of slaughter.

²³ And thou, Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to the grave. For if those deeds of power which were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to this day. ²⁴ But I say to thee, It will be comfortable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, rather than for thee.

⁶ and burned up the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and condemned them by an overthrow, making them a demonstration to the wicked who should come after them;

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, which in like manner followed whoredom and went after strange flesh, are placed beneath everlasting fire, being, doomed to judgment.

⁸ And their dead bodies will be in the open street of that great city, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

²⁷ For the Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father, with all his holy angels; and then will he recompense to every man as his deeds are.

³ And as Jesus sat on the mount of Olives, his disciples came, and said between themselves and him: Tell us when these things are to be; and what will be the sign of thy coming, and of the consummation of the world.

²⁷ As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth unto the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man. ²⁸ And wherever the carcass may be, there will the eagles be congregated. ²⁹ And immediately after the distress of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not show her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be agitated. ³⁰ And then will be seen the signal of the Son of man in heaven: and then will all the tribes of the earth mourn, when they see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. ³¹ And he will send his angels with a great trumpet and they will collect together his elect from the four winds, from one extremity of heaven to the other.

³⁷ And as the days of Noah, so will the coming of the Son of man be.

³⁹ and knew not, until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of man be.

²⁶ And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with great power and glory.

²² For these are days of vengeance, to fulfill all that is written.

²⁷ And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with much power, and with great glory.

³⁴ Take heed to yourselves, that your hearts be, at no time, stupefied by gluttony and ebriety and worldly care; and so that day come upon you unawares. ³⁵ For, like a hunter's snare, it will spring upon all them that dwell upon the face of the whole land. ³⁶ Be ye therefore vigilant, at all times, and prayerful; that ye may be worthy to escape the things that are to take place, and may stand before the Son of man.

⁷ so that ye are not inferior in any one of his gifts; but are waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Messiah:

⁷ and you, who are the troubled, he will vivify, with us, at the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah from heaven, with the host of his angels;

⁷ so that the proof of your faith may appear more precious than refined gold that is tested by fire, unto glory and honor and praise, at the manifestation of Jesus the Messiah:

¹³ Wherefore, gird up the loins of your minds. and be awake perfectly, and wait for the joy, which will come to you at the revelation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,

¹³ But rejoice, that ye participate in the sufferings of the Messiah, that so ye may also rejoice and exult at the revelation of his glory.

⁷ Behold, he cometh with clouds; and all eyes shall see him, and also they who speared him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn on account of him. Yes: Amen.

²⁵ Therefore I say to you: Be not anxious about your life, what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink; nor about your body, how ye shall clothe yourselves. Is not the life more important than food, and the body than raiment?

²⁶ For what will it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and shall lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

¹⁷ and let him who is on the roof, not come down to take what is in his house: ¹⁸ and let him who is in the field, not return back to take his clothing. ¹⁹ But woe to those with child, and to them that are nursing, in those days. ²⁰ And pray ye, that your flight be not in winter, or on the sabbath. ²¹ For there will then be great distress, such as hath not been from the commencement of the world, until now, and will not be.

¹⁴ And when ye see the profane sign of desolation, which was mentioned by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not; (let him that readeth, understand;) then let those that are in Judaea, flee to the mountain: ¹⁵ and let him that is on the roof, not come down and enter it, to take any thing from his house: ¹⁶ and let him that is in the field, not return back to take his clothing.

²¹ Then let them who shall be in Judaea, flee to the mountain district; and let them, who are in the midst of it, flee away; and those in the fields, not enter it.

⁷ But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah. ⁸ And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus the Messiah my Lord; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah,

⁶ Now these things were an example for us, that we should not hanker after evil things as they hankered. ⁷ Neither should we serve idols, as some of them served; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to sport. ⁸ Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them committed; and there fell in one day twenty and three thousand. ⁹ Neither let us tempt the Messiah, as some of them tempted; and serpents destroyed them. ¹⁰ Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured; and they perished by the destroyer. ¹¹ All these things which befell them, were for an example to us; and they are written for our instruction, on whom the end of the world hath come. ¹² Wherefore, let him who thinketh he standeth, beware lest he fall.

³⁸ Now the just by my faith, will live: but if he draw back, my soul will not have pleasure in him. ³⁹ But we are not of that drawing-back, which leadeth to perdition; but of that faith, which maketh us possess our soul.

¹⁸ For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error. ¹⁹ And they promise them liberty, while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved. ²⁰ For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah, they become again involved in the same, and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. ²¹ For it would have been better for them, not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known it, to turn back from the holy commandment that was delivered to them. ²² But the true proverb hath happened to them: the dog returneth to his vomit and the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

³⁹ He that preserveth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall preserve it.

²⁵ For, whoever chooseth to preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake, shall find it.

³⁵ For, whoever will preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life on my account, and on account of my tidings, shall preserve it. ³⁶ For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life? ³⁷ Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

²⁴ For he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it. ²⁵ For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it?

²⁵ He that loveth his life, will lose it; and he that hateth his life, in this world, will preserve it unto life everlasting.

¹⁰ Be not terrified at any of the things thou art to suffer. For lo, the Accuser will throw some of you into custody, that ye may be tried; and there will be trouble to you ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

²⁵ Behold, I have told you beforehand.

⁴⁰ Then will two men be in the field; the one will be taken, and the other left. ⁴¹ Two women will be grinding at the mill; the one taken, and the other left.

²³ But take ye heed. Lo, I have told you the whole beforehand.

²⁹ And Cephas said to him: Though they all should be stumbled, yet I will not be.

³ No. And I say to you, That all of you also, unless ye repent, will likewise perish.

⁵ No. And I say to you, That except ye resent, ye like them will all of you perish.

²⁴ And Jesus said to them: Strive to enter the narrow gate: for I say to you, many will seek to enter, and will not be able.

⁴ And it was said to him, by revelation: Behold, I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed their knees, and have not worshipped Baal. ⁵ So also at the present time, a remnant is preserved, by the election of grace. ⁶ But if by grace, it is not by works: otherwise, grace is not grace. And if by works, it is not by grace: Otherwise, work is not work. ⁷ What then? Israel did not obtain that which it sought: but the election obtained it; and the rest of them were blinded in their heart,

¹⁶ Because our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise; ¹⁷ and then, we who survive and are alive shall be caught up together with them to the clouds, to meet our Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with our Lord.

⁹ the Lord knoweth how to rescue from afflictions those who fear him; and he will reserve the wicked for the day of judgment to be tormented,

⁴¹ Two women will be grinding at the mill; the one taken, and the other left.

²⁸ And wherever the carcass may be, there will the eagles be congregated.

¹⁶ and they forbid us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may have life; to fill up their sins at all times. And wrath cometh on them to the uttermost.

¹⁷ And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven: Come ye, assemble unto this great supper of God; ¹⁸ that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains of thousands, and the flesh of valiant men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all the free-born and of slaves, and of the small and the great.
