Jesus saith to them: The cup that I drink, ye will drink, and the baptism that I am baptized with, ye will be baptized with: ⁴⁰ But that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine o give, except to those for whom it is prepared. ⁴¹ And when the ten heard it, they began to murmur against James and John. ⁴² And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know, that they who are accounted chiefs of the nations, are their lords; and their great men have authority over them. ⁴³ But it shall not be so among you: but he that would be great among you, must be a servitor to you. ⁴⁴ And he of you that would be first, must be servant to every one. ⁴⁵ And also the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many. ⁴⁶ And they came to Jericho.

He that can be contented let him be contented.

⁷ Because the Holy Spirit hath said: To-day, if ye will hear his voice, ⁸ harden not your hearts to anger him, like the provocators, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness, ⁹ when your fathers tempted me, and proved, and saw my works forty years. ¹⁰ Therefore I was disgusted with that generation, and said: This is a people, whose heart wandereth, and they have not known my ways:

¹⁹ For in those days will be affliction, such as hath not been from the beginning of the creation that God made until now, and shall not be.

Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? ⁵ Jesus replied, and said to him Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. ⁶ That which is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit, is spirit.

¹⁶ And one came, drew near, and said to him: Good Teacher, what good thing must I do, that eternal life may be mine? ¹⁷ And he said to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, except one, namely, God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments. ¹⁸ He said to him, Which? And Jesus said to him: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not bear false testimony; ¹⁹ and honor thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ²⁰ The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my childhood. What do I lack? ²¹ Jesus saith to him: If thou desirest to be perfect, go, sell thy property, and give to the poor; and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven; and come thou after me. ²² And the young man heard that speech, and he went away in sadness; for he had much property. ²³ And Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴ And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God ²⁵ And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life! ²⁶ Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable. ²⁷ Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive? ²⁸ Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel. ²⁹ And every man that relinquisheth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. ³⁰ But there are many first who shall be last, and last who shall be first.

³⁴ Then will the king say to those on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father; inherit the kingdom that was prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

⁸ And they went quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

⁴⁰ And a leper came to him, and fell at his feet, and entreated him, and said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

²⁵ And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter him.

¹⁴ And these came, and asked him: Teacher; we know that thou art veracious, and hast no fear of man; for thou regardest not the face of men, but teachest the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to give capitation money to Caesar; or not? Shall we give, or not give?

¹⁸ And one of the chiefs asked him, and said to him: Good Teacher, what shall I do, that I may inherit eternal life? ¹⁹ Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me, good? For, there is none good, except one; God. ²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not testify a false testimony; honor thy father and thy mother. ²¹ He said to him: All these have I kept, from my childhood. ²² And when Jesus heard these words, he said to him: One thing is lacking to thee: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou wilt have a treasure in heaven; and come after me. ²³ And he, when he heard these words, was dejected; for he was very rich. ²⁴ And when Jesus saw that he was dejected, he said: How difficult it is, for those that have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God! ²⁵ It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man the kingdom of God. ²⁶ They who heard it, said to him: Who then can have life? ²⁷ And Jesus said: Those things which, with men, cannot be, with God, can be. ²⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Lo, we have left every thing, and come after thee. ²⁹ Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you: There is no man, who hath left houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ that shall not receive manifold in the present time, and, in the coming world, eternal life.

² And he came to Jesus by night, and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher sent from God; for no one can work those signs which thou workest, unless God be with him.

²⁷ Labor not for the food that perisheth, but for the food that abideth unto life eternal, which the Son of man will give to you; for him hath God the Father sealed. ²⁸ They said to him: What shall we do, in order to work the works of God?

⁴⁰ For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day.

² And she ran, and came to Simon Cephas, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them: They have taken away our Lord from the sepulchre, and I know not where they have laid him. ³ And Simon set out, and the other disciple, and they were going to the sepulchre. ⁴ And they both ran together; but that disciple outran Simon, and came first to the sepulchre.

³⁷ And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do?

⁶ But arise and go into the city, and there it will be told thee what thou oughtest to do.

³⁰ And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?

³² And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all the saints.

⁷ to them who, by perseverance in good works, seek for glory and honor and immortality, to them he will give life eternal;

²³ For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is life eternal, through our Lord Jesus Messiah.

² For I bear them witness, that there is in them a zeal for God; but it is not according to knowledge. ³ For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness: and therefore they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God. ⁴ For Messiah is the aim of the law, for righteousness, unto every one that believeth in him.

²⁵ And this is the promise, which he hath promised us, even life eternal.

¹⁷ And he said to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, except one, namely, God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁹ Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me, good? For, there is none good, except one; God.

⁴¹ I do not receive glory from men. ⁴² But I know you, that the love of God is not in you. ⁴³ I came in the name of my Father, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. ⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive glory from one another, and seek not the glory which cometh from God only?

¹² They have all turned aside, together; and become reprobates. There is none that doeth good; no, not one.

¹⁷ Every good and perfect gift cometh down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom is no mutation, not even the shadow of change.

⁸ Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God.

¹⁶ And we have believed and known the love, which God hath towards us: for God is love, and whoever abideth in love, abideth in God.

¹⁷ Do not suppose that I have come to subvert the law or the prophets: I have come not to subvert, but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For verily I say to you, that until heaven and earth shall pass away, one iota or one letter shall not pass from the law, until all shall be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Therefore whoever shall break one of these small commands and shall so inculcate on the children of men, shall be called little in the kingdom of heaven: but every one that shall do and teach them, shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you, that unless your righteousness shall abound more than that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁷ And he said to him: Why callest thou me good? There is none good, except one, namely, God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments. ¹⁸ He said to him, Which? And Jesus said to him: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not bear false testimony; ¹⁹ and honor thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

²⁸ And one of the Scribes came, and heard them as they discussed, and he saw that he gave them an excellent answer; and he asked him, Which is the first of all the commandments? ²⁹ Jesus said to him: The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: ³⁰ and thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy might. This is the first commandment. ³¹ And the second, which is like it, is: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. ³² The Scribe said to him: Excellently! Rabbi; thou hast spoken the truth; for he is one God, and there is no other beside him. ³³ And for a man to love him, with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the soul, and with all the might; and to love his neighbor, as himself; is better than all holocausts and sacrifices. ³⁴ And Jesus perceived that he replied wisely; and he answered, and said to him: Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared again to question him.

²⁶ And Jesus said to him: How is it written in the law? How readest thou? ²⁷ He answered and said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor, as thyself ²⁸ Jesus said to him: Thou hast said correctly; do thus, and thou wilt live.

²⁰ Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not testify a false testimony; honor thy father and thy mother.

²⁰ Wherefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh is justified before him: for, by the law, sin is known.

⁹ For this likewise, which it saith: Thou shalt not kill; nor commit adultery; nor steal; nor covet; and if there is any other commandment, it is completed in this sentence: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁷ Now therefore ye condemn yourselves, in that ye have litigation one with another. For why do ye not rather suffer wrong? why not rather be defrauded? ⁸ But ye yourselves commit wrong, and ye defraud even your brethren. ⁹ Or do ye not know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not mistake; neither whoremongers, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor debauchers, nor liers with males,

¹⁴ For the whole law is fulfilled in one sentence; in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

⁶ and that ye dare not to transgress and to overreach any one his brother, in this matter; because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as also we have said and testified to you in time past.

¹¹ For he who said, Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also, Thou shalt not kill. If then thou commit no adultery, but thou killest, thou hast become a transgressor of the law.

²⁰ The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my childhood. What do I lack?

²⁹ And he, being disposed to justify himself, said: And who is my neighbor?

¹¹ And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican. ¹² But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all I possess.

⁹ And I, without the law, was alive formerly; but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died;

⁶ as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; and as to the righteousness of the law, I was without fault.

⁵ having a form of respect for God, but wide from the power of God. Them who are such, repel from thee.

¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust spoil, and where thieves dig through and steal. ²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where no moth and no rust can spoil, and no thieves dig through nor steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart also be.

⁴⁴ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure that is hid in a field; which when a man findeth, he concealeth it, and, from his joy, he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. ⁴⁵ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchantman, who sought after rich pearls: ⁴⁶ and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

²⁴ Then said Jesus to his disciples: If any one desireth to come after me, let him deny himself; and let him bear his cross, and come after me.

²¹ Jesus saith to him: If thou desirest to be perfect, go, sell thy property, and give to the poor; and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven; and come thou after me.

³⁴ And Jesus called the multitude, together with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and come after me.

²³ And he said before all the people: He that would follow me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and so come after me.

⁴² yet but one thing is necessary; and Mary hath chosen for herself the good part, which shall not be taken from her.

³³ Sell your property, and give alms: make for yourselves bags that do not become old, and a treasure that is not transient, in the heavens; where no thief approacheth, and no moth eateth.

⁹ And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles.

²² And when Jesus heard these words, he said to him: One thing is lacking to thee: go, sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; and thou wilt have a treasure in heaven; and come after me.

⁴¹ And as he drew near, and beheld the city, he wept over it:

²⁶ If any one is servant to me, he will come after me; and where I am, there also will my servant be. Him that serveth me, will the Father honor.

³³ These things have I said to you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye will have trouble: but, take courage, I have vanquished the world.

⁴⁵ And they who had a possession, sold it, and divided to each one as he had need.

³⁴ And no one among them was destitute; for those who possessed lands or houses, sold, and brought the price of what was sold, ³⁵ and placed it at the feet of the legates; and distribution was made to every one, as he had need. ³⁶ And Joseph, who by the legates was surnamed Barnabas, (which is interpreted Son of Consolation,) a Levite of the country of Cyprus, ³⁷ had a field: and he sold it, and brought the price of it, and laid it before the feet of the legates.

¹⁷ And if sons, then heirs; heirs of God, and participators of the inheritance of Jesus Messiah: so that, if we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified with him. ¹⁸ For I reckon, that the sufferings of the present time, are not comparable with the glory which is to be developed in us.

¹⁵ And cheerfully will I both pay my expenses, and also give myself for your souls; although the more I love you, the less ye love me.

¹⁷ Charge the rich of this world, that they be not uplifted in their minds; and that they confide not in riches, in which is no security; but in the living God, who giveth us all things abundantly for our comfort: ¹⁸ and that they do good works, and be rich in well-doings; and be ready to give and to communicate: ¹⁹ and that they lay up for themselves a good foundation for that which is future; that they may take hold of real life.

¹² And likewise all, who choose to live in the fear of God, in Jesus the Messiah, will be persecuted.

³⁴ and ye were grieved for those who were imprisoned; and ye cheerfully endured the plundering of your goods, because ye knew that ye had a possession in heaven, superior and not transitory.

¹⁰ For he that shall keep the whole law, and yet fail in one precept, is obnoxious to the whole law.

⁴ and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven; ⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;

⁴ Yet I have a charge against thee, on account of thy former love, which thou hast left.

¹⁴ Yet I have a small charge against thee. Thou hast there them who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to throw a stumbling-block before the children of Israel, that they might eat the sacrifices of idols, and might commit whoredom.

²⁰ But I have a charge against thee, because thou sufferest thy woman Jezabel, who saith she is a prophetess, and teacheth, and seduceth my servants to whoredom, and to eating of the sacrifices of idols.

²² And that which was sowed among thorns, is he that heareth the word; and care for this world and the deceptiveness of riches, choke the word; and he is without fruits.

²² And the young man heard that speech, and he went away in sadness; for he had much property.

³ Then Judas the betrayer, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, repented. And he went and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders;

²⁴ And Pilate, when he saw that it availed nothing, but rather that tumult was produced, took water, and washed his hands before the eyes of the multitude, and said: I am pure from the blood of this just man: see ye to it. ²⁵ And all the people answered, and said His blood be on us, and on our children! ²⁶ Then released he to them Bar Abas; and scourged Jesus with whips and delivered him to be crucified.

²⁰ For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man: and he observed him, and gave ear to him in many things and did the things, and he heard him with satisfaction.

²⁶ And it pained the king greatly; yet, on account of the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her:

¹⁵ And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches.

²³ And he, when he heard these words, was dejected; for he was very rich.

¹⁰ For, sorrowing on account of God, worketh a conversion of the soul which is not reversed, and a turning unto life: but the sorrowing of the world worketh death.

⁵ For this know ye, that every man who is a whoremonger, or impure, or avaricious, or a worshipper of idols, hath no inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.

⁹ But they who desire to become rich, fall into temptations, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and which drown men in destruction and perdition: ¹⁰ for the love of money is the root of all these evils. And there are some who, coveting it, have erred from the faith, and brought themselves into many sorrows.

¹⁰ For Demas hath left me; and hath loved this world and gone away to Thessalonica; Crispus to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

¹⁵ Love not the world, nor any thing in it; for whoever loveth the world, hath not the love of the Father in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world, is, the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world; which are not from the Father, but from the world itself.

²³ And Jesus said to his disciples: Verily I say to you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²⁴ And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God ²⁵ And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life! ²⁶ Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable.

³² And he looked around, to see who had done this.

¹⁵ Verily I say to you, That whoever doth not receive the kingdom of God, like a little child, shall not enter it.

²⁴ And when Jesus saw that he was dejected, he said: How difficult it is, for those that have wealth to enter into the kingdom of God!

⁵ Jesus replied, and said to him Verily, verily, I say to thee, That, unless a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

²⁶ For look also at your calling, my Brethren; that not many among you are wise, according to the flesh; and not many among you are mighty, and not many among you are of high birth.

⁵ Hear, my beloved brethren; hath not God chosen the poor of the world, but the rich in faith, to be heirs in the kingdom which God hath promised to them that love him?

⁴ Ye adulterers, know ye not, that the love of the world is hostility towards God? He therefore who chooseth to be a lover of this world, is the enemy of God.

¹¹ For thus will entrance be given you abundantly, into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus the Messiah.

²⁵ And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life!

¹⁶ And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance. ¹⁷ And he considered with himself, and said: What shall I do; for I have not where I can store up my produce? ¹⁸ And he said This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things: 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? ²¹ Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.

²⁶ They who heard it, said to him: Who then can have life? ²⁷ And Jesus said: Those things which, with men, cannot be, with God, can be.

⁶⁰ And many of his disciples who heard him, said: This is a hard speech, who can hear it.

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 And Jesus said to them: Lads, have ye any thing to eat? They say to him: No.

¹⁹ Ye are my children, of whom I travail in birth again, till the Messiah be formed in you.

¹⁷ Charge the rich of this world, that they be not uplifted in their minds; and that they confide not in riches, in which is no security; but in the living God, who giveth us all things abundantly for our comfort:

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.

¹ My children, these things I write to you, that ye sin not. But if any one should sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus the Messiah, the righteous.

⁴ But ye children, are of God; and ye have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you, than he who is in the world.

²¹ My children, keep yourselves from idolatry.

¹⁷ Because thou sayest, I am rich and affluent, and have no want of any thing; and thou knowest not, that thou art impotent, and miserable, and needy, and blind, and naked;

³ And why observest thou the straw in thy brother's eye, and regardest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ⁴ Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Allow me to pluck the straw from thy eye; and lo! a beam is in thy own eye. ⁵ Thou hypocrite; pluck first the beam from thy own eye; and then thou wilt see clearly, to pluck the straw out of thy brother's eye.

²⁴ And again, I say to you: It is easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God ²⁵ And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life!

²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle, than a rich man the kingdom of God.

⁵¹ And he entered into the ship to them; and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed, and astonished among themselves.

³⁷ And they admired exceedingly, and said: He doeth every thing excellently: he maketh the deaf to hear, and the speechless to talk.

²³ And a person asked him, whether they were few who would have life?

²⁶ They who heard it, said to him: Who then can have life?

³¹ And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.

⁹ And if thou shalt confess with thy mouth our Lord Jesus, and shalt believe with thy heart, that God hath raised him from the dead; thou shalt live. ¹⁰ For the heart that believeth in him, is justified; and the mouth that confesseth him, is restored to life. ¹¹ For the scripture saith: Every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed. ¹² And in this, it discriminateth neither Jews nor Gentiles. For there is one Lord over them all, who is rich, towards every one that calleth on him. ¹³ For every one that shall call on the name of the Lord, will have life.

²³ If they are ministers of the Messiah, (in defect of understanding, I say it,) I am superior to them: in toils more than they, in stripes more than they, in bonds more than they, in deaths many times.

²⁶ Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable.

³⁷ Because nothing is difficult for God.

²⁷ And Jesus said: Those things which, with men, cannot be, with God, can be.

²¹ who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.

²⁵ and he is able to vivify for ever, them who come to God by him; for he always liveth, and sendeth up prayers for them.

¹⁹ And he reasoned with himself, that God was able even to raise him from the dead: and therefore, in the similitude of a resurrection, he was restored to him.

²⁰ And immediately, they left their nets, and went after him.

²² And they immediately left the ship and their father, and went after him.

¹⁶ And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. ¹⁷ And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And immediately they left their nets, and went after him. ¹⁹ And as he passed on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in a ship, and mending their nets. ²⁰ And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him.

³³ So every one of you who doth not give up all his possessions, cannot be my disciple.

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, ⁹ and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the law, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness which is from God;

¹⁰ Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when they revile you and persecute you, and speak every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.

¹⁸ And they will bring you before governors and kings, on my account, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

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.

²⁸ Ye are they who have continued with me in my trials: ²⁹ and I promise to you, as my Father hath promised to me, a kingdom: ³⁰ that ye may eat and drink at the table of my kingdom, and may sit on thrones, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

²³ And this I do, that I may participate in the announcement.

²⁴ By faith Moses, when be became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter. ²⁵ And he chose to be in affliction with the people of God, and not to live luxuriously in sin for a short season: ²⁶ and he esteemed the reproach of the Messiah a greater treasure than the hoarded riches of Egypt; for he looked upon the recompense of reward.

³ And thou hast had patience, and hast borne the burden, on account of my name, and hast not fainted.

¹¹ Blessed are ye, when they revile you and persecute you, and speak every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account. ¹² At that time, rejoice and be glad: for your reward in heaven is great. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.

³² And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him: but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him;not in this world, and not in the world to come.

³⁰ that shall not receive manifold in the present time, and, in the coming world, eternal life.

²³ And Jesus walked in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.

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. ²³ And in that day ye will ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say to you, That whatsoever ye shall ask of my Father in my name, he will give to you.

⁴¹ And they went from before them, rejoicing that they were worthy to suffer abuse on account of that name.

²⁵ And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in afflictions; because we know that affliction perfecteth in us patience;

¹⁰ as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as indigent, yet enriching many; as possessing nothing, yet having all things.

⁸ For it is in the power of God, to make all good abound to you, so that ye may have, at all times, and in every thing, what is sufficient for you; and may abound in every good work. ⁹ As it is written, He hath dispersed and given to the poor; and his righteousness is established for ever. ¹⁰ Now he that giveth seed to the sower, and bread for food, may he give and multiply your seed, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: ¹¹ so that in every thing, ye may be enriched unto all liberality, to the completion of our thanksgiving to God.

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,

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his grace,

⁶ But great is our gain, which is the fear of God, with the use of our competence.

² Let it be all joy to you, my brethren, when ye enter into many and various trials. ³ For ye know, that the trial of your faith, maketh you possess patience. ⁴ And let patience have its perfect work, so that ye may be complete and perfect, and may lack nothing.

¹² Blessed is the man who endureth temptations; so that when he is proved he may receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.

¹¹ For lo, we ascribe blessedness to them who have borne suffering. Ye have heard of the patience of Job; and ye have seen the result which the Lord wrought for him: for the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

¹² My beloved, be not dismayed at the trials that befall you, as if some strange thing had come upon you; for these things are for your probation. 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. ¹⁴ And if ye are reproached on account of the name of the Messiah, happy are ye: for the glorious Spirit of God resteth upon you. ¹⁵ Only let none of you suffer, as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer. ¹⁶ But if he suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on account of this name.

¹ And ye see, how great is the love of the Father towards us, who hath called us sons, and made us such. Therefore the world knoweth us not, because it likewise knoweth him not.

⁹ I know thy works, and the affliction, and the poverty, (yet thou art rich;) and the railing which is from them who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are of the congregation of Satan.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white raiment, to be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not be seen; and put eye-salve on thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

¹¹ And I say to you, that many shall come from the east, and from the west, and shall recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven; ¹² but the children of the kingdom shall go forth into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³⁰ But there are many first who shall be last, and last who shall be first.

¹⁶ Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few.

³¹ Which of these two performed the pleasure of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you That publicans and harlots go before you into the kingdom of God.

²⁹ And all the people that heard him, justified God, as they had been baptized with John's baptism. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and Scribes rejected the good pleasure of God, against themselves; as they were not baptized by him.

⁴⁰ And Jesus answered, and said to him: Simon, I have something to say to thee. He said to him: Say it, Rabbi. Jesus said to him: ⁴¹ There were two debtors to a certain creditor; the one owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty denarii. ⁴² And as they had not the means of pay, he released them both. Which of them, therefore will love him most? ⁴³ Simon replied, and said: I suppose he to whom most was released. Jesus said to him: Thou hast judged correctly. ⁴⁴ And he turned to the woman, and said to Simon: Seest thou this woman? I entered thy house, and thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath bathed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. ⁴⁵ Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman, since she came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. ⁴⁶ Thou didst not anoint my head with perfume; but she hath anointed my feet with perfumed ointment. ⁴⁷ I therefore say to thee: Her many sins are forgiven her, for she loveth much. But he, to whom little is forgiven, loveth little.

³⁰ And lo, there are last that will be first, and there are first that will be last.

¹¹ And the Pharisee stood by himself, and prayed thus: God, I thank thee that I have not been like the rest of men, rapacious, oppressive, and adulterous; nor like this publican. ¹² But I fast twice in a week, and tithe all I possess. ¹³ And the publican stood afar off, and would not even lift his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner. ¹⁴ I say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.

⁴⁶ And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. ⁴⁷ For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth. ⁴⁸ And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal.

³⁰ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who ran not after righteousness, have found righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith: ³¹ But Israel, who ran after the law of righteousness, hath not found the law of righteousness. ³² And why? Because they sought it, not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone: ³³ As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children.

¹¹ And he answered, and said to them: Because, to you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

¹⁷ And Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem: and he took his twelve disciples aside, on the way, and said to them: 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.

³⁴ And without similitudes he did not converse with them: but to his disciples, between himself and them, he explained every thing.

⁵¹ And when the days for his ascension were completed, so it was, that he set his face to go up to Jerusalem.

²³ And he turned to his disciples, privately, and said: Blessed are the eyes that see, what ye see.

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. ³² For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit in his face; ³³ and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise. ³⁴ But not one of these things, did they understand; but this subject was hidden from them, and they knew not the things told to them. And as they came near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the side of the way, begging.

⁸ His disciples say to him: Our Rabbi, the Jews have just sought to stone thee; and goest thou again thither.

¹⁶ Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples: Let us also go and die with him.

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.

⁶⁶ What is your pleasure? They answered and said: He is liable to death.

² And they bound him, and carried him and delivered him up to Pilate, the president.

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 :

⁶⁴ Behold, from his own mouth ye have heard blasphemy. How doth it appear to you? And they all decided, that he deserved to die.

¹ And forthwith, in the morning, the chief priests with the Elders and the Scribes, and the whole Sanhedrim, held a consultation. And they bound Jesus, and led him away, and delivered him over to Pilate the president.

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. ³² For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit in his face; ³³ and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise.

¹ And the whole company of them arose, and carried him before Pilate. ² And they began to accuse him, and said: We have found this man seducing our people, and forbidding to pay the capitation money to Caesar, and declaring himself to be king Messiah.

²¹ But they cried out, and said: Crucify him; crucify him.

⁶ He is not here; he is risen. Remember how he conversed with you, when he was in Galilee, ⁷ and said, That the Son of man was to be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and to rise on the third day.

²⁸ And they led Jesus from the presence of Caiaphas unto the Praetorium; and it was morning. But they did not enter the Praetorium, lest they should defile themselves before they had eaten the passover.

¹¹ Jesus said to him: Thou wouldst have no authority at all over me, if it were not given to thee from on high: therefore his sin who delivered me up to thee, is greater than thine.

¹³ The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he would have justified him and set him free. ¹⁴ But ye denied the holy and just One, and demanded that a murderer should be released to you.

²⁷ For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written.

²² And now I am bound in spirit, and I go to Jerusalem; and I know not what will befall me there;

⁶ Ye have condemned and slain the just, and none resisted you.

³⁹ But he replied and said to them: A wicked and adulterous generation demandeth a sign: but a sign will not be given to it, unless it be the sign of Jonah the prophet. ⁴⁰ For as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights; so will the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

⁶⁷ Then they spit in his face, and buffeted him, and others smote him,

²⁷ Then the soldiers of the president took Jesus into the Praetorium, and assembled the whole regiment against him. ²⁸ And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet military cloak. ²⁹ And they wove a crown of thorns, and set it on his head, and put a reed in his hand, and they bowed their knees before him, and mocked him, and said: Hail, thou king of the Jews. ³⁰ And they spit in his face, and took the reed, and smote him on his head. ³¹ And when they had mocked him, they divested him of the cloak, and clothed him in his own garments, and led him out to be crucified. ³² And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene whose name was Simon; him they compelled to bear his cross. ³³ And they came to a place which is called Golgotha, which is interpreted a skull. ³⁴ And they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall. And he tasted it, and would not drink. ³⁵ And when they had crucified him, they distributed his garments by lot. ³⁶ And they sat down, and watched him there ³⁷ And they placed over his head the cause of his death, in the writing: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁸ And there were crucified with him two robbers, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. ³⁹ And they that passed by reviled him, and shook their heads ⁴⁰ and said: Destroyer of the temple, and builder of it in three days, deliver thyself; if thou art the Son of God, and come down from the cross. ⁴¹ So also the chief priests mocked, with the Scribes and Elders and Pharisees, ⁴² and said: He gave life to others, his own life he cannot preserve. If he is the king of Israel, let him now descend from the cross, and we will believe in him. † ⁴³ He trusted in God; let him rescue him now, if he hath pleasure in him: for he said, I am the Son of God. ⁴⁴ In like manner the marauders also, that were crucified with him, reproached him.

⁶³ And the high priest rent his tunic, and said: What need of witnesses have we, any more?

⁶⁵ And some began to spit in his face, and to buffet him, saying: Prophesy thou. And the servants smote him on the cheeks.

¹⁷ and they clothed him in purple, and braided a crown of thorns and put upon him; ¹⁸ and began to salute him with, " Hail, king of the Jews!" ¹⁹ And they smote him on the head with a reed and spit in his face, and bowed upon their knees and worshipped him. ²⁰ And having mocked him, they divested him of the purple, and clothed him in his own garments, and led him forth to crucify him.

²⁹ And they also that passed by, reviled him; and, nodding their heads, they said: Aha, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days, ³⁰ rescue thyself, and come down from the cross. ³¹ And so also the chief priests, jeering one with another, and the Scribes, said: He gave life to others, his own life he cannot save.

⁶³ And the men who had taken Jesus, insulted him, and blinded him, ⁶⁴ and smote him on his face, and said: Prophesy thou, who smote thee? ⁶⁵ And many other things they revilingly uttered, and spoke against him.

¹¹ And Herod and his warriors contemned him. And when he had mocked him, he clothed him in a purple robe, and sent him to Pilate.

³⁵ And the people stood and looked on; and the rulers also derided him, and said: He quickened others; let him quicken himself, if he is the Messiah, the chosen of God. ³⁶ And the soldiers like wise mocked him, coming to him and offering him vinegar, ³⁷ and saying to him: If thou art the king of the Jews, quicken thyself. ³⁸ And there was likewise a superscription over him, written in Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. ³⁹ And one of the malefactors who were crucified with him, reproached him, and said: If thou art the Messiah, rescue thyself, and rescue us.

¹⁷ For the law was given by the hand of Moses; but the reality and grace was by the hand of Jesus Messiah.

¹⁰ and said to him: Every man first bringeth forward the good wine, and when they are satiated, then that which is inferior; but thou hast kept the good wine till now.

² And the soldiers braided a crown of thorns, and put it on his head; and they clothed him in purple garments: ³ and they said: Hail, king of the Jews! and smote him on his cheeks.

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

²⁰ Then came, to him the mother of Zebedee's children, she and her sons; and she worshipped him, and asked something from him. ²¹ And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² Jesus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask for. Can ye drink of the cup, of which I am to drink? or be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with? They say to him: We can. ²³ He saith to them: Ye will indeed drink of my cup, and will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father. ²⁴ And when the ten heard it, they were angry against the two brothers. ²⁵ And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know that the princes of the nations are their lords, and their great men exercise authority over them. ²⁶ Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you desireth to be great, let him be to you, a ministerer: ²⁷ and whoever among you desireth to be first, let him be your servant: ²⁸ even as the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.

³⁷ And he suffered no one to go with him, except Simon Cephas, and James, and John the brother of James.

² And after six days, Jesus took Cephas and James and John, and led them to a high mountain, apart; and was transformed before them.

³³ And he took with him Cephas and James and John, and began to be gloomy and distressed.

⁵¹ Jesus said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabbi, that I may have sight.

⁷ But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you.

²⁸ Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

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.

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

¹⁹ And Jesus, our Lord, after he had conversed with them, ascended to heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

²⁶ Were not these things to be; that the Messiah should suffer and that he should enter into his glory?

¹¹ And they searched for the time which the Spirit of the Messiah dwelling in them did show and testify, when the sufferings of the Messiah were to occur, and his subsequent glory.

²¹ And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom. ²² Jesus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask for. Can ye drink of the cup, of which I am to drink? or be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with? They say to him: We can.

³⁹ And retiring a little, he fell on his face, and prayed, and said: My Father, if it can be so, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I choose, but as thou.

³⁶ And he said: Father, my Father, thou canst do all things. Let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, but thine.

⁵⁰ And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and I am much pressed until it be accomplished.

⁴² and said: Father, if it please thee, let this cup pass from me. Yet not my pleasure, but thine, be done.

¹¹ And Jesus said to Cephas: Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

²⁶ So also the Spirit aideth our weakness. For we know not what to pray for, in a proper manner; but the Spirit prayeth for us, with groans not expressible:

³ Ye ask, and receive not; because ye ask wickedly, that ye may pamper your lusts.

²⁵ It is sufficient for the disciple, that he be as his rabbi; and the servant, as his lord. If they call the lord of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his family?

³¹ And he said, in addition: If I were to die with thee, I will not deny thee, my Lord. And like him, spake all the disciples.

³⁷ Simon Cephas said to him: My Lord, why can I not come after thee? I would lay down my life for thee.

²⁰ Remember the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe yours.

¹⁴ I have given them thy word: and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.

²⁴ And I rejoice in the sufferings which are for your sakes; and, in my flesh, I fill up the deficiency in the afflictions of the Messiah, in behalf of his body, which is the church;

⁹ I John, your brother, and partaker with you in the affliction and suffering that are in Jesus the Messiah, was in the island called Patmos, because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus the Messiah.

²³ He saith to them: Ye will indeed drink of my cup, and will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.

² As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he might give life eternal to as many as thou hast given him.

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

¹⁶ But now it is manifest that they longed for a better city than that, namely, for that which is in heaven. Therefore God did not refuse to be called their God; for he prepared for them the city.

²⁴ And when the ten heard it, they were angry against the two brothers.

³³ And they came to Capernaum. And when they entered the house, he asked them: What disputed ye among yourselves by the way? ³⁴ And they were silent; for by the way they had contended with one another, which should be the great among them. ³⁵ And Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever would be first, let him be last of all, and servitor to all. ³⁶ And he took a child, and set him in the midst, and took him in his arms and said to them:

²⁴ And there was contention also among them, who among them would be greatest.

¹⁰ Be affectionate to your brethren: and love one another. Be foremost in honoring one another.

³ And do nothing in strife, or in vain glory; but, with lowliness of mind, let each esteem his neighbor as better than himself.

⁵ Or think ye, that the scripture hath vainly said: The spirit dwelling in us lusteth with envy?

²⁵ And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know that the princes of the nations are their lords, and their great men exercise authority over them.

²⁵ And Jesus said to them: The kings of the nations, are their lords; and those exercising authority over them, are called benefactors.

³ not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them:

²⁶ Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you desireth to be great, let him be to you, a ministerer: ²⁷ and whoever among you desireth to be first, let him be your servant:

⁸ But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your Rabbi, and ye are all brethren. ⁹ And ye shall not call yourselves Father on earth; for one is your Father, who is in heaven. ¹⁰ And be ye not called guides; for one is your Guide, the Messiah. ¹¹ And the great one among you will be your servitor. ¹² For whoever shall exalt himself, will be abased: and whoever shall abase himself, will be exalted.

³⁵ And Jesus sat down, and called the twelve, and said to them: Whoever would be first, let him be last of all, and servitor to all.

⁴⁸ and said to them: Whoever receiveth a child like this, in my name, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that shall be least among you all, he will be the great one.

¹¹ For, every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled: and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.

¹⁴ I say to you, that this man went down to his house justified, rather than the Pharisee. For every one that exalteth himself, will be humbled; and every one that humbleth himself, will be exalted.

¹³ Ye call me, Our Rabbi, and Our Lord; and ye speak well; for I am so. ¹⁴ If then I, your Lord and your Rabbi, have washed your feet, how much more ought ye to wash the feet of one another? ¹⁵ For I have given you this example, that ye might do, as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verily, verily, I say to you, That no servant is greater than his lord; and no legate is greater than he who sent him. ¹⁷ If ye know these things, happy will ye be if ye do them. ¹⁸ Not of you all, do I speak: I know whom I have chosen. But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me, hath lifted his heel against me.

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.

² And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed, by the renovation of your minds: and discern ye what is the good and acceptable and perfect pleasure of God.

¹⁹ Being free from them all, I have made myself servant to every man; that I might gain many: ²⁰ and with the Jews, I was as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; and with those under the law, I was as under the law, that I might gain them who are under the law; ²¹ and to those who have not the law, I was as without the law, (although I am not without law to God, but under the law of the Messiah,) that I might gain them that are without the law. ²² I was with the weak, as weak, that I might gain the weak: I was all things to all men, that I might vivify every one. ²³ And this I do, that I may participate in the announcement.

¹³ And ye, my brethren, have been called into liberty: only let not your liberty be an occasion to the flesh; but, by love, be ye servants to each other.

⁵ And ye juniors submit yourselves to your seniors; and clothe yourselves, stringently, with lowliness of mind one towards another; because God resisteth them who exalt themselves, and giveth grace to the humble. ⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under the powerful hand of God: and it will exalt you in due time.

²⁸ even as the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.

²⁶ But ye, not so: but he that is great among you, must be as the least; and he that is chief, as the servitor. ²⁷ For, which is the greater, he that reclineth, or he that serveth? Is not he that reclineth? But I am among you, as he that serveth.

¹⁵ As my Father knoweth me, so know I my Father; and I expose my life for the flock.

¹⁴ If then I, your Lord and your Rabbi, have washed your feet, how much more ought ye to wash the feet of one another?

²¹ For, on your account, he hath made him who knew no sin to be sin, that we might by him become the righteousness of God.

⁹ For ye know the goodness of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who when he was rich, for your sakes became poor, that by his poverty ye might be made rich.

¹³ But the Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, and hath been a curse for us; (for it is written, Cursed is everyone that is hanged on a tree;)

⁵ And think ye so in yourselves, as Jesus the Messiah also thought; ⁶ who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God; ⁷ yet divested himself, and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men, and was found in fashion as a man; ⁸ and he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁴ and one that guideth well his own house, and holdeth his children in subjection with all purity. ⁵ For if he knoweth not how to guide his own house well, how can he guide the church of God. ⁶ Neither let him be of recent discipleship; lest he be uplifted, and fall into the condemnation of Satan.

¹⁴ who gave himself for us, that he might recover us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a new people, who are zealous in good works.

⁸ And though he was a son, yet, from the fear and the sufferings he endured, he learned obedience.

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of that Lamb in which is no spot nor blemish, namely, the Messiah:

²⁹ And as Jesus passed out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him. ³⁰ And lo, two blind men were sitting by the way side. And when they heard that Jesus was passing, they called out, and said: Have compassion on us, my Lord, thou son of David! ³¹ And the multitudes rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they raised their voice the more, and said: Our Lord, have compassion on us, thou son of David. ³² And Jesus stopped, and called them, and said: What wish ye, that I should do for you? ³³ They said to him: Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened. ³⁴ And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.

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.

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.

³⁵ :

⁸ And his neighbors, and they by whom he had before been seen begging, said: Is not this he, who sat and begged?

² that, lo, those accustomed to bring a man lame from his mother's womb, brought him and laid him at the gate of the temple called Beautiful; that he might ask alms of those going into the temple. ³ This man, when he saw Simon and John going into the temple, asked them to give him alms.

¹ THE book of the nativity of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, son of Abraham.

²³ And he came and dwelt in a city that is called Nazareth that so might be fulfilled that which was said by the prophet, that he should be called a Nazarene.

²⁷ And when Jesus had passed from there, two blind men followed after him, and said: Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David!

²³ And all the multitude were amazed, and said: Is not this the son of David?

²² And lo, a woman, a Canaanitess from those confines, came forth, calling out and saying: Compassionate me, my Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grievously distressed by a demon.

³⁰ And lo, two blind men were sitting by the way side. And when they heard that Jesus was passing, they called out, and said: Have compassion on us, my Lord, thou son of David!

⁹ And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed after him, shouted and said: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

¹¹ And the multitudes said, This is Jesus the prophet, who is from Nazareth of Galilee.

⁴² and said: What say ye respecting, the Messiah? Whose son is he? They say to him; The son of David. ⁴³ He saith to them: How then doth David, by the Spirit, call him Lord? for he said: ⁴⁴ The Lord said to my Lord, Seat thyself at my right hand, until I place thy enemies under thy feet. ⁴⁵ If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?

⁷¹ And as he went out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said to them: This man was also there with Jesus the Nazarean.

²⁴ and said: What have we to do with thee? Jesus thou Nazarean. Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God.

¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he went, as he was accustomed, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and rose up to read.

³⁶ And he heard the noise of the multitude that passed, and inquired what it was. ³⁷ They say to him: Jesus the Nazarean is passing by.

⁴⁶ Nathaniel said to him: Can there be any good thing from Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come, and see.

⁴¹ Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee?

⁵² They answered, and said to him: Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see, that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.

¹⁹ And Pilate also wrote a tablet, and affixed it to his cross. And thus it was written: THIS IS JESUS THE NAZAREAN, KING OF THE JEWS.

¹⁴ For we have heard him say, that this Jesus the Nazarean will destroy this place, and will change the rites which Moses delivered to you.

²² And he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure. ²³ From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer.

³ concerning his Son, (who was born in the flesh, of seed of the house of David, ⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

¹⁶ I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things before the churches. I am the root and offspring of David: like the splendid star of the morning.

²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and requested of him, and said: Send her away, for she crieth after us. ²⁴ But he answered and said to them: I am not sent, except to the sheep that have strayed from the house of Israel. ²⁵ And she came, and worshipped him, and said: Help me, my Lord. ²⁶ Jesus said to her: It is not proper, to take the bread of the children and throw it to the dogs. ²⁷ And she said: Even so, my Lord; yet the dogs eat of the fragments that fall from the tables of their masters, and live. ²⁸ Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

¹³ Then they brought children to him, that he might lay his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples rebuked them.

³¹ And the multitudes rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they raised their voice the more, and said: Our Lord, have compassion on us, thou son of David.

³⁵ And while he was speaking, some domestics of the ruler of the synagogue came, and said: Thy daughter is dead: why therefore troublest thou the teacher?

²⁶ (the woman was a Gentile from Phenicia of Syria), and besought him, that he would expel the demon from her daughter. ²⁷ Jesus said to her: Permit the children first to be satisfied; for it is not becoming, to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs. ²⁸ And she replied, and said to him: Yes, my Lord: and yet the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs. ²⁹ Jesus said to her: Go thou; because of this speech, the demon hath departed from thy daughter.

⁵ And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, that shall come to him at midnight and say to him, My friend, lend me three cakes; ⁶ for a friend hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him? ⁷ And his friend within shall answer, and say to him: Do not disturb me, for lo, the door is closed, and my children with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. ⁸ I say to you: If he give him not, on account of friendship, yet on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as much as he asketh. ⁹ I say also to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it is opened.

¹ And he spoke to them a similitude also, that men should pray at all times, and not become weary. ² There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, and regarded not men. ³ And there was a certain widow in that city; and she came to him, and said: Vindicate me against my adversary. ⁴ And he would not, for a long time: but afterwards, he said to himself: Though I fear not God, and regard not men, ⁵ yet, because this widow troubleth me, I will vindicate her; that she may not be always coming and troubling me. ⁶ And our Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith. ⁷ And will not God, much more, vindicate his chosen, who call upon him by day and by night; and have patience with them? ⁸ I tell you, He will vindicate them speedily. Yet the Son of man will come; and will he find faith on the earth?

³⁹ And they that went before Jesus rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

¹⁸ And pray ye, with all prayers and supplications, in spirit, at all times: and in prayer be watchful, at all seasons, praying constantly, and interceding for all the saints:

⁷ Likewise, when he was clothed in flesh, he presented supplication and entreaty with intense invocation, and with tears, to him who was able to resuscitate him from death; and he was heard.

⁴⁰ And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be called to him. And when he came to him, he asked him,

²⁸ And when she had thus said, she went and called her sister Mary, secretly, and said to her: Our Rabbi hath come, and calleth for thee.

¹⁷ Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people.

¹⁵ For we have not a high priest, who cannot sympathize with our infirmity; but one who was tempted in all respects like us, aside from sin.

¹ Therefore let us also, who have all these witnesses surrounding us like clouds, cast from us all encumbrances, and sin, which is always prepared for us; and let us run with patience the race that is appointed for us.

⁸ Therefore, be not like them; for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before ye ask him.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

⁷ and the greeting in the market places, and to be addressed by men with Rabbi.

³⁶ He saith to them: What would ye, that I should do for you?

⁴¹ and said to him: What wilt thou, that I do for thee? And he said: My Lord, that I may see. ⁴² And Jesus said to him: See thou; thy faith hath vivified thee. ⁴³ And immediately he saw. And he followed after him, and glorified God. And all the people who beheld, gave glory to God.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her: Mary! And she turned, and said to him in Hebrew: Rabbuni; which is interpreted Teacher.

⁶ Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God.

²² And Jesus turned himself, looked at her, and said to her: Take courage, my daughter; thy faith hath given thee life. And the woman was cured from that very hour.

²⁸ And when he had entered a house, those blind men approached him, and Jesus said to them: Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, our Lord. ²⁹ Then he touched their eyes, and said: As ye have believed, so shall it be to you. ³⁰ And forthwith their eyes were opened. And Jesus charged them and said: See, that no man know of it.

⁵ the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings:

²² Then they brought to him a demoniac that was dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind man both talked and saw.

²⁸ Then Jesus said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was cured from that hour.

¹⁴ And there came to him in the temple the blind and the lame; and he healed them.

³¹ And he came, and took her hand, and raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.

³⁴ And he said to her: My daughter, thy faith hath made thee live: go in peace; and be thou healed of thy plague.

²⁵ Again he laid his hand on his eyes, and he was recovered, and saw every thing plainly.

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

² and those women who were healed of infirmities and of unclean spirits, Mary called Magdalena, out of whom went seven demons, ³ and Joanna the wife of Chusa, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to them of their property.

⁵ So long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. ⁶ And having spoken thus, he spit on the ground, and made mud with the spittle, and spread it on the eyes of the blind man; ⁷ and said to him: Go, wash in the baptistery of Siloam. And he went, and washed, and came away seeing.

³² Never hath it been heard, that any one opened the eyes of one born blind.

³⁹ And Jesus said: For the judgment of this world, have I come; that they who see not, might see; and that they who see, might become blind.

¹⁸ to open their eyes; that they may turn from darkness to the light, and from the dominion of Satan unto God; and may receive remission of sins, and a portion with the saints, by faith in me.
