And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands! ³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and of Joses and of Judas and of Simon?

They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat? ³⁸ And he said to them: Go, see how many loaves ye have here. And when they had seen, they say to him: Five loaves and two fishes. ³⁹ And he bid them make the people recline on the grass by companies. ⁴⁰ And they reclined, by companies of a hundred, and of fifty. ⁴¹ And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they divided also the two fishes among them all. ⁴² And they all ate, and were satisfied. ⁴³ And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes. ⁴⁴ And they who had eaten bread were five thousand men. ⁴⁵ And he immediately constrained his disciples to take ship, and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitudes. ⁴⁶ And when he had dismissed them, he went to a mountain to pray. ⁴⁷ And when evening came, the ship was in the middle of the sea, and he alone on the land. ⁴⁸ And he saw them straining themselves in rowing; for the wind was against them.

¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your discourses, when ye depart from that house or that town, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, that it will be comfortable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, rather than for that city.

²⁰ Then began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not. ²¹ And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ²² But I say to you, It will be comfortable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, rather than for you. 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.

³⁶ For I say to you, That for every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account of it in the day of judgment.

⁵ And against them that receive you not, when ye go out of that city, shake off even the dust of your feet against them, for a testimony.

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. ¹² I say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you. ¹⁵ And thou Capernaum, that art lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to hell.

²² If I had not come and discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins. ²³ He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. ²⁴ If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both me and my Father;

⁵⁰ But the Jews stirred up the chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders. ⁵¹ And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium.

⁶ And he shook his garments, and said to them: Henceforth I am clean; I betake myself to the Gentiles.

⁵ But, because of the hardness of thy unrepenting heart, thou art treasuring up a store of wrath against the day of wrath, and against the revelation of the righteous judgment of God:

¹⁶ in the day in which God will judge the secret actions of men, as my gospel teacheth, by Jesus the Messiah.

⁴ But they who have once descended to baptism, and have tasted the gift from heaven, and have received the Holy Spirit, ⁵ and have tasted the good word of God, and the power of the world to come, ⁶ cannot again sin, and a second time be renewed to repentance; or a second time crucify and insult the Son of God. ⁷ For the earth that drinketh the rain which cometh often upon it, and produceth the herb that is of use to those for whom it is cultivated, receiveth a blessing from God. ⁸ But if it should put forth thorns and briers, it would have reprobation, and be not far from a curse, and its end would be a burning.

²⁶ For if a man sin, voluntarily, after he hath received a knowledge of the truth, there is no longer a sacrifice which may be offered for sins: ²⁷ but the fearful judgment impendeth, and the zeal of fire that consumeth the adversaries. ²⁸ For if he, who transgressed the law of Moses, died without mercies, at the mouth of two or three witnesses; ²⁹ how much more, think ye, will he receive capital punishment, who hath trodden upon the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of his covenant, by which he is sanctified, as the blood of all men, and hath treated the Spirit of grace with contumely? ³⁰ For we know him who hath said, Retribution is mine; and I will repay: and again, The Lord will judge his people. ³¹ It is very terrible, to fall into the hands of the living God.

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;

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,

⁷ And the heavens that now are, and the earth, are by his word stored up, being reserved for the fire at the day of judgment and the perdition of wicked men.

¹⁷ And hereby is his love perfected with us; that we may have open countenances in the day of judgment; because as he was, so also are we in this world.

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.

² and said: Repent; the kingdom of heaven hath approached.

⁸ Bring forth the fruits therefore, that accord with repentance.

¹⁷ From that time began Jesus to proclaim and say: Repent; for the kingdom of heaven hath approached.

¹³ Go and learn what that is: I require compassion, and not a sacrifice! For I did not come to call the righteous, but the sinful.

²⁰ Then began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not.

³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make smooth his paths.

¹⁵ and said: The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent ye, and believe the tidings.

⁶ And the Legates went forth, and travelled about the villages and cities, and preached and healed everywhere.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo, one superior to Jonah is here.

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.

⁷ I say to you, that there will thus be joy in heaven, over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just ones, to whom repentance was not necessary.

¹⁰ I say to you, That there will thus be joy, before the angels of God, over one sinner that repenteth.

⁴⁷ and that, in his name, repentance for the remission of sins should be preached among all nations, and that the commencement be at Jerusalem.

³⁸ Simon said to them: Repent, and be baptized every one of you, in the name of the Lord Jesus, for the remission of sins; so that ye may receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹ Repent, therefore, and be converted; that so your sins may be blotted out,

¹⁸ And when they heard these words, they desisted; and they glorified God and said: Now to the Gentiles also doth God give repentance unto life.

²¹ while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

²⁰ but I preached from the first to them in Damascus, and to them in Jerusalem and in all the villages of Judaea; and I preached also to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and should turn to God, and should do the works suitable to repentance.

⁹ yet it procured me joy, not because ye had sorrow, but because your sorrow brought you to repentance; for ye sorrowed in godly sorrow; so that ye received no detriment from us. 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.

¹⁴ And if one is sick, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of our Lord: ¹⁵ and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and our Lord will raise him up; and if sins have been committed by him, they will be forgiven him.

³¹ But they went out and spread the fame of it in all that land.

¹ And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus: ² and he said to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him. ³ Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. ⁴ For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife. ⁵ And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that they regarded him as a prophet. ⁶ But when Herod's birthday festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod. ⁷ Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask. ⁸ And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer. ⁹ And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her. ¹⁰ And he sent and cut off the head of John in the prison. ¹¹ And the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came and bore away the corpse, and buried it; and they went and informed Jesus.

²⁸ And immediately his fame spread into all the land of Galilee.

⁴⁵ And he, as he went out, began to proclaim it much, and to divulge the matter; so that Jesus could not openly go into the city, but was without, in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.

¹⁴ And Herod the king heard of Jesus, for his name had become known to him, and he said: John the Baptizer hath risen from the dead: and therefore it is, mighty deeds are done by him. ¹⁵ Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet, like one of the prophets. ¹⁶ But when Herod heard of him, he said: He is that John whose head I struck off: he is risen from the dead. ¹⁷ For Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken. ¹⁸ For John had said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to take thy brother's wife. ¹⁹ And Herodias herself was an enemy to him, and wished to kill him, but was not able. 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. ²¹ And there was a noted day, when Herod made a supper, in the house of his nativity, for his nobles and the chiliarchs and the chiefs of Galilee. ²² And the daughter of Herodias came in, and danced; and she pleased Herod and those reclining with him. And the king said to the maid: Ask of me what thou pleasest, and I will give it thee. ²³ And he swore to her: Whatever thou shalt ask, I will give thee, even to the half of my kingdom. ²⁴ And she went out, and said to her mother: What shall I ask of him? She said to her: The head of John the Baptizer. ²⁵ And she soon entered with eagerness to the king, and said: I desire that thou, this hour, give me in a dish the head of John the Baptizer. ²⁶ And it pained the king greatly; yet, on account of the oath, and on account of the guests, he would not deny her: ²⁷ and the king sent immediately an executioner, and commanded him to bring the head of John. And he went, and struck off the head of John in the prison; ²⁸ and brought it on a dish, and gave it to the maid; and the maid gave it to her mother. ²⁹ And his disciples heard of it; and they came and took up the corpse, and laid it in a Sepulchre.

²⁸ And they said to him: That thou art John the Baptizer; and others: That thou art Elijah; and others: That thou art one of the prophets.

¹ And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, in the presidency of Pontius Pilate in Judaea, while Herod was Tetrarch in Galilee, and Philip his brother Tetrarch in Ituraea and in the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias Tetrarch of Abilene,

⁷ And Herod the Tetrarch heard of all the things done by him, and he was disturbed; because some said, that John had arisen from the dead. ⁸ But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen. ⁹ And Herod said: The head of John, I have cut off; but who is this, of whom I hear these things? And he was desirous to see him.

³¹ On the same day came some of the Pharisees, and said to him: Go, depart hence; for Herod purposeth to kill thee.

⁷ And having learned that he was from under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod; for he was at Jerusalem on those days. ⁸ And Herod rejoiced greatly when he saw Jesus, for he had been desirous to see him for a long time, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to see some sign from him. ⁹ And he asked him many questions; but Jesus gave him no reply. ¹⁰ And the chief priests and Scribes stood up, and accused him vehemently. 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. ¹² And on that day, Pilate and Herod became friends to each other; for there had previously been enmity between them.

⁸ For from you the word of our Lord sounded forth; and not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place, your faith in God is heard of; so that we have no need to say any thing concerning you.

¹⁴ And they said: Some say that thou art John the Baptizer; but others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, and said to him: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come? ¹¹ Jesus answered, and said to them: Elijah doth first come, to fulfill every thing.

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

¹² He said to them: Elijah truly first cometh, to prepare all things: and, as it is written of the Son of man, he will suffer much, and be rejected. ¹³ But I say to you: That Elijah hath come; and they have done to him all that they desired, as it was written of him.

³⁵ And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said: He calleth for Elijah. ³⁶ And one ran and filled a sponge with vinegar, and tied it on a reed, to offer him drink. And they said: Desist; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

¹⁷ And he will go before him, in the spirit and power of Elijah the prophet, and will turn the heart of the fathers unto the children, and them that are disobedient to the knowledge of the righteous, and will prepare a perfect people for the Lord.

¹⁶ And awe seized all the people; and they glorified God, and said: A great prophet hath arisen among us, and God hath visited his people.

³⁹ And when the Pharisee that invited him, saw it, he thought within himself, and said: If this man were a prophet, he would know who she is, and what is her reputation; for the woman that toucheth him, is a sinner.

⁸ But others said, that Elijah hath appeared; and others, that a prophet from among the ancient prophets hath arisen.

¹⁹ They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen.

²¹ And they asked him again: Who then? Art thou Elijah? And he said: I am not. Art thou a prophet? And he said, No.

²⁵ And they asked him, and said to him: Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor a prophet?

¹⁴ And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world.

⁴⁰ And many of the multitude who heard his discourses, said: Certainly, he is a prophet.

¹⁷ They say again to the blind man: What sayest thou of him, seeing he hath opened thy eyes? He said to them: I say, that he is a prophet.

²² For Moses said: A prophet, like me, will the Lord raise up to you, from among your brethren; to him hearken ye, in all that he shall say to you. ²³ And it will be, that every soul who will not hearken to that prophet, that soul shall perish from his people.

² and he said to his servants: This is John the Baptizer: he is risen from the grave: therefore works of power are wrought by him.

⁴ and said: I have sinned, by betraying innocent blood. And they said: What is that to us? See to it thyself.

⁹ And Herod said: The head of John, I have cut off; but who is this, of whom I hear these things? And he was desirous to see him.

¹⁰ And they who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and will be merry, and will send presents to one another; because those two prophets tormented them who dwell on the earth. ¹¹ And after these three days and a half, the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet: and great fear fell on those who saw them. ¹² And they heard a great voice from heaven, which said to them: Come up hither. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies saw them. ¹³ And in the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell: and the persons killed in the earthquake, were seven thousand names: and they who remained were afraid, and gave glory to God.

¹² And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired to Galilee.

² Now when John, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Messiah, he sent by the hand of his disciples,

¹⁹ But Herod the Tetrarch, because he was reproved by John, on account of Herodias the wife of his brother Philip, and on account of all the evil things he had done, ²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

³ Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip. ⁴ For John had said to him: It is no lawful for her to be thy wife.

²⁶ I therefore protest to you, this day, that I am pure from the blood of you all. ²⁷ For I have not shunned to acquaint you with all the will of God.

²⁴ And after a few days, Felix, and Drusilla his wife who was a Jewess, sent and called for Paul; and they heard him concerning faith in the Messiah. ²⁵ And while he was discoursing with them on righteousness, and on holiness, and on the future judgment, Felix was filled with fear; and he said: For the present time, go: and when I have opportunity, I will send for thee. ²⁶ He hoped, moreover, that a present would be given him by Paul; and therefore, he often sent for him, and conversed with him.

²⁶ Be ye angry, and sin not: and let not the sun go down upon your wrath. ²⁷ And give no place to the Accuser.

⁵ And he had wished to kill him; but he was afraid of the people, seeing that they regarded him as a prophet.

²⁶ And if we should say, From men; we are afraid of the multitude, for they all hold John as a prophet.

¹⁶ And those sown on the rock, are they who, when they hear the word, immediately with joy receive it.

¹⁸ And the chief priests and the Scribes heard him, and they sought how they might destroy him; for they were afraid of him, because all the people admired his doctrine. (l9) And when it was evening, they went out from the city.

³⁵ He was a burning and shining lamp; and ye were willing for a time, to glory in his light.

² And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. ³ And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded also to arrest Simon Cephas. And the days of unleavened bread were then passing. ⁴ He seized him and cast him into prison, and delivered him to sixteen soldiers, who were to guard him; that he might, after the passover, deliver him up to the people of the Jews.

³ For the time that is past was enough, when ye wrought the pleasure of the profane, in dissoluteness, and in ebriety, and in lasciviousness, and in revelling, and in the worship of demons.

¹⁰ And they who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, and will be merry, and will send presents to one another; because those two prophets tormented them who dwell on the earth.

⁶ But when Herod's birthday festival occurred, the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests; and she pleased Herod.

⁹ and said to him: All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

³⁴ But I say to you, Swear not at all: not by heaven, for it is the throne of God: ³⁵ and not by the earth, for it is the footstool under his feet: and likewise not by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king. ³⁶ Moreover, thou shalt not swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair in it either black or white. ³⁷ But let your language be, Yes, yes; or No, no; for whatever is beyond these proceedeth from evil.

⁷ Therefore he swore to her by an oath, that he would give her whatsoever she might ask. ⁸ And she, as she had been instructed by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptizer.

¹² And when it was morning, several of the Jews assembled together, and bound themselves by imprecations that they would neither eat nor drink until they had slain Paul. ¹³ And they who had established this compact by oath, were more than forty persons.

¹⁵ and their feet are swift to shed blood.

⁹ And it troubled the king: nevertheless, on account of the oath, and the guests, he commanded that it should be given her.

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; ⁴ and said: I have sinned, by betraying innocent blood. And they said: What is that to us? See to it thyself. ⁵ And he cast down the silver in the temple, and retiring, went and strangled himself

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!

¹⁰ And he sent and cut off the head of John in the prison. ¹¹ And the head was brought in a dish and given to the girl; and she brought it to her mother. ¹² And his disciples came and bore away the corpse, and buried it; and they went and informed Jesus.

⁵⁷ And when it was evening, there came a rich man of Ramath, whose name was a Joseph, who was also a disciple of Jesus. ⁵⁸ This man went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And Pilate directed the body to be given him. ⁵⁹ And Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a winding-sheet of clean linen; ⁶⁰ and laid it in his new sepulchre, that was excavated in a rock. And he rolled a great stone against the door of the sepulchre, and departed:

² And believing men gathered up and buried Stephen. And they lamented over him greatly.

² And the names of those twelve Legates are these: The first of them, Simon who is called Cephas, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

⁷ And he called his twelve, and began to send them forth, two and two; and he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out. ⁸ And he commanded them to take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither a wallet, nor bread, nor brass in their purses; ⁹ but to be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them: Into whatever house ye enter, there abide till ye leave the place. ¹¹ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye go out from that place shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a testimony to them. Verily I say to you, There will be comfort for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment rather than for that city. ¹² And they went out and proclaimed, that men should repent. ¹³ And they cast out many demons, and many of the sick they anointed with oil, and healed them.

¹³ And when the day dawned, he called his disciples, and selected from them twelve, whom he named Legates :

¹⁰ And when the Legates returned, they narrated, to Jesus all they had done. And he took them aside, to the desert part of Bethsaida.

⁵ And the Legates said to our Lord: Increase our faith.

¹⁴ And when the time arrived, Jesus came and reclined; and the twelve Legates with him.

¹⁰ Now they were Mary Magdalena, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others with them, who related these things to the Legates.

¹ THE former book have I written, O Theophilus concerning all the things which our Lord Jesus Messiah began to do and teach, ² until the day when he was taken up, after he had instructed those legates whom he had chosen by the Holy Spirit.

²⁶ And they cast lots, and it came upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven legates.

¹⁸ And when they had come to him, he said to them: Ye yourselves know, how, at all times, since the first day that I entered Asia, I have been with you; ¹⁹ laboring for God, in great humility, and with tears, amid the trials which beset me from the plottings of Jews: ²⁰ and I shunned not that which was advantageous to your souls, that I might preach to you, and teach in the streets and in houses, ²¹ while I testified to Jews and to Gentiles, as to repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹² And let no one despise thy youth; but be thou a pattern for the believers, in speech, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity. ¹³ Until I come, be diligent in reading, and in prayer, and in teaching. ¹⁴ Despise not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, and by the laying on of the hand of the eldership. ¹⁵ On these things meditate; give thyself wholly to them: that it may be obvious to all that thou makest advances. ¹⁶ Be attentive to thyself, and to thy teaching; and persevere in them. For in doing this, thou wilt procure life to thyself and to them who hear thee.

⁶ And likewise exhort young men to be sober. ⁷ And in every thing show thyself a pattern, as to all good works: and in thy teaching, let thy discourse be healthful,

² Feed ye the flock of God which is committed to you: have care for it, spiritually; not from compulsion, but voluntarily; not for base gain, but with all your heart; ³ not as lords of the flock, but so as to be a good example for them:

¹³ And Jesus, when he had heard it, retired alone, in a ship, to a desert place. And when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him by dry land from the cities.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea. And many people joined him from Galilee, and from Judaea,

²⁰ and the multitude assembled again, so that they could not eat bread.

¹ After these things, Jesus went to the other side of the sea of Galilee or of Tiberias.

¹³ And Jesus, when he had heard it, retired alone, in a ship, to a desert place. And when the multitudes heard of it, they followed him by dry land from the cities. ¹⁴ And when Jesus disembarked, he saw great multitudes; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. ¹⁵ And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said to him: This is a desert place, and the time is gone; send away the throngs of people, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food. ¹⁶ But he said to them: It is not necessary for them to go; give ye them to eat. ¹⁷ And they said to him: We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes. ¹⁸ Jesus said to them: Bring them here to me. ¹⁹ And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the five cakes and two fishes, and he looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples placed before the multitudes. ²⁰ And they all ate, and were satisfied and they took up the broken remains, twelve full baskets. ²¹ And the men who had eaten were five thousand, besides the women and children.

⁹ And he told his disciples to bring him a ship, on account of the multitude, lest they should crowd upon him

³⁶ And they sent away the multitudes: and they conducted him in the ship as he was. And there were also with him other little ships.

⁴⁵ And he immediately constrained his disciples to take ship, and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the multitudes.

² I compassionate this multitude; for, lo, three days have they continued with me, and they have nothing to eat. ³ And if I send them to their homes fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them have come from a great distance. ⁴ His disciples say to him: Whence can one, here in the desert, satisfy all these with bread? ⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? They say to him, Seven. ⁶ And he directed the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and blessed, and brake, and grave to his disciples to set forth; and they set before the multitudes. ⁷ And there were a few fishes; and them he also blessed, and ordered them set forth. ⁸ And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up seven baskets of the remaining fragments. ⁹ And the men who had eaten, were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

¹⁰ And when the Legates returned, they narrated, to Jesus all they had done. And he took them aside, to the desert part of Bethsaida. ¹¹ And when the multitude knew it, they followed him: and he received them, and conversed with them respecting the kingdom of God: and such as had need of healing, he healed. ¹² And when the day began to decline, his disciples came near, and said to him: Send away the multitude, that they may go to the villages around us and to the towns, to lodge in them, and to procure themselves food, for we are in a desert place. ¹³ Jesus said to then: Give ye them to eat. And they say: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy food for all this people: ¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company. ¹⁵ And the disciples did so, and made them all recline. ¹⁶ And Jesus took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before the multitudes. ¹⁷ And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.

⁵ And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him: ⁹ There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people? ¹⁰ Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired. ¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost. ¹³ And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes.

²⁹ And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there. ³⁰ And great multitudes came to him; and with them were the lame, and the blind, and the dumb, and the maimed, and many others: and they laid them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them. ³¹ So that the multitudes were amazed, when they saw the dumb speaking, and the maimed made whole, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.

⁵⁴ And when they went out of the ship, immediately the men of the place knew him. ⁵⁵ And they ran through all that region, and began to bring forth them that were sick, bearing them on beds to where they heard he was.

² And great multitudes went after him; because they had seen the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

¹⁹ And be ye, my beloved brethren, every one of you, swift to hear, and slow to speak; and slow to wrath:

³⁶ And when Jesus looked on the multitudes, he pitied them; because they were wearied and dispersed, like sheep that have no shepherd.

¹⁴ And when Jesus disembarked, he saw great multitudes; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

³² Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way.

¹¹ And when the multitude knew it, they followed him: and he received them, and conversed with them respecting the kingdom of God: and such as had need of healing, he healed.

² But each of us should please his neighbor, in good things, as conducive to edification. ³ Because Messiah also did not please himself; but, as it is written: The reviling of thy revilers fell upon me.

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.

⁵ And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him: ⁹ There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people? ¹⁰ Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand. ¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired. ¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost. ¹³ And they collected and filled twelve baskets, with fragments of what remained to them that had eaten of the five barley cakes. ¹⁴ And those people, when they saw the sign which Jesus had wrought, said: Certainly, this is that prophet who was to come into the world. ¹⁵ And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone.

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.

²² And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him; and he said: Far be it from thee, my Lord, that this should be to thee.

²¹ And his kinsmen heard, and went out to take him; for they said: He is out of his reason.

³¹ And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the throngs that press upon thee; and sayest thou, Who touched me?

¹⁶ But he said to them: It is not necessary for them to go; give ye them to eat.

³² Then Jesus called his disciples, and said to them: I pity this multitude; for lo, these three days they have continued with me, and they have nothing to eat: and I am unwilling to send them away fasting, lest they faint by the way. ³³ His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude?

² I compassionate this multitude; for, lo, three days have they continued with me, and they have nothing to eat. ³ And if I send them to their homes fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them have come from a great distance.

¹³ Jesus said to then: Give ye them to eat. And they say: We have no more than five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy food for all this people:

⁴ And the feast of the Jewish passover was near. ⁵ And Jesus raised his eyes, and saw a great multitude coming towards him; and he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? ⁶ And this he said, to try him; for he knew what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip said to him: Two hundred denarii in bread would not suffice them, that each might take but a little. ⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him: ⁹ There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people? ¹⁰ Jesus said to them: Make all the people recline. Now there was much grass in that place: and the people reclined, in number five thousand.

¹⁷ And they said to him: We have nothing here but five cakes and two fishes. ¹⁸ Jesus said to them: Bring them here to me.

³⁴ Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes.

⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? They say to him, Seven.

⁹ There is a lad here, who hath with him five cakes of barley, and two fishes; but what are these for all those people?

³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground.

³³ Because, God is not the author of tumult, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

⁴⁰ But let every thing be done with decency and regularity.

¹⁴ for they were about five thousand men. Jesus said to them: Make them recline by companies, fifty persons in a company. ¹⁵ And the disciples did so, and made them all recline.

¹⁹ And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the five cakes and two fishes, and he looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples placed before the multitudes.

³⁶ And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

²⁶ And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake; and gave to his disciples, and said: Take, eat; this is my body.

³⁴ and looked towards heaven, and sighed, and said to him: Be opened.

⁶ And he directed the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and blessed, and brake, and grave to his disciples to set forth; and they set before the multitudes. ⁷ And there were a few fishes; and them he also blessed, and ordered them set forth.

²² And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them, and said to them: Take; this is my body.

¹⁶ And Jesus took the five loaves and two fishes, and looked towards heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before the multitudes.

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

¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and blessed, and distributed to them that reclined. And so also, with the fish; as much as they desired.

²³ yet that other ships had come from Tiberias, near to the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it.

⁴¹ And they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes on high, and said: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

¹ These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said: My Father, the hour is come: glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.

³⁵ And having said these things, he took bread, and gave glory to God before them all; and he broke it, and began to eat.

⁶ He that esteemeth a day, esteemeth it for his Lord: and he that esteemeth not a day, for his Lord, he doth not esteem it. And he that eateth, eateth to his Lord, and giveth thanks to God: and he that eateth not, to his Lord he eateth not, and giveth thanks to God.

³¹ If therefore ye eat, or if ye drink, or if ye do any thing, do all things for the glory of God.

¹⁷ And whatever ye do in word or act, do it in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and give thanksgiving through him to God the Father.

⁴ Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness; ⁵ for it is sanctified by the word of God and by prayer.

³⁷ And they all ate, and were satisfied. And they took up the remains of fragments, seven full baskets. ³⁸ And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

¹⁷ And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the fragments of remains, twelve baskets.

¹² And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments which remain, that nothing be lost.

¹⁹ :²⁰ He saith to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say: Seven.

²¹ And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.

²² And immediately he constrained his disciples to embark in a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent away the multitudes. ²³ And when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone. ²⁴ And the ship was distant from land many furlongs: meanwhile it was much tossed by the waves; for the wind was adverse to it. ²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came up to them, walking upon the waters. ²⁶ And his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they were perturbated: and they said, What we see is a spectre: and they cried out through fear. ²⁷ But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Have courage: it is I; be not afraid. ²⁸ Cephas replied, and said to him: My Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters. ²⁹ And Jesus said to him, Come. And Cephas descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind to be violent, he was afraid, and began to sink. And he raised his voice, and said My Lord, rescue me. ³¹ And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust! ³² And as they entered the ship, the wind subsided. ³³ And they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God!

³² And they went by ship to a desert place by themselves.

²² And he came to Bethsaida and they brought to him a blind man, and besought him to touch him.

¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes.

¹⁵ And Jesus knew, that they were about to come and take him by force, and make him king: and he retired into a mountain alone. ¹⁶ And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them. ¹⁸ And the sea was boisterous against them, for a violent wind was blowing. ¹⁹ And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid. ²⁰ But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid. ²¹ And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.

⁶ But thou, when thou prayest enter into thy closet and close the door, and pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father, who seeth in secret, will reward thee openly.

²³ And when he had sent the multitudes away, he ascended a mountain alone to pray. And when it was dark, he was there alone.

³⁵ And in the morning, he rose much before others, and retired to a solitary place, and there prayed.

¹² And in those days, Jesus retired to a mountain to pray; and he passed the night there, in prayer to God.

²¹ For unto this were ye called; because the Messiah also died for us, and left us this pattern, that ye should walk in his steps.

¹⁶ And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the sea, ¹⁷ and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.

²⁴ And the ship was distant from land many furlongs: meanwhile it was much tossed by the waves; for the wind was adverse to it.

³⁸ And if in the second watch, or in the third, he shall come and so find them, happy are those servants.

²⁸ And they drew near to the village to which they were going; and he made them feel, as if he would go to a more distant place.

¹³ who are born, not of blood, nor of the pleasure of the flesh, nor of the pleasure of man, but of God.

²⁵ And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came up to them, walking upon the waters. ²⁶ And his disciples saw him as he walked upon the waters, and they were perturbated: and they said, What we see is a spectre: and they cried out through fear.

³⁷ And they were in trepidation and fear, for they supposed they saw a spirit.

²⁷ But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Have courage: it is I; be not afraid.

³⁸ Jesus said to them: Why are ye agitated? And why do imaginations arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Look at my hands and my feet, that it is myself. Handle me, and know; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. ⁴⁰ And as he said thus, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat?

¹⁹ And they had gone about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, when they saw Jesus walking upon the sea: and as he drew near to the ship, they were afraid. ²⁰ But Jesus said to them: It is I; be not afraid.

¹⁹ And on the evening of that first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst of them, and said to them: Peace be with you. ²⁰ Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. And the disciples rejoiced, when they saw our Lord.

²⁶ Jesus said to them, Why are ye afraid, ye small in faith! Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the sea; and there was great tranquillity. ²⁷ And the men were amazed; and they said, What a man is this, to whom the winds and the sea are obedient!

²⁸ Cephas replied, and said to him: My Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the waters. ²⁹ And Jesus said to him, Come. And Cephas descended from the ship, and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind to be violent, he was afraid, and began to sink. And he raised his voice, and said My Lord, rescue me. ³¹ And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust! ³² And as they entered the ship, the wind subsided.

²⁷ And they were all amazed, and inquired one of another, and said: What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

¹² And he arose in that hour, took up his bed, and departed in presence of them all: so that they were all amazed, and praised God, saying: We never saw the like.

³⁹ And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Cease; be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

⁴¹ And they feared with great fear: and they said, one to another: Who is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

⁴² And immediately the maid arose, and walked; for she was twelve years old. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

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

²⁴ And they came and awaked him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, our Rabbi, we are perishing! And he arose, and rebuked the winds and the agitations of the water; and they ceased, and there was a calm. ²⁵ And he said to them: Where is your faith? And they being in awe, wondered, and said one to another: Who is this, that commandeth even the winds, and the waves, and the sea; and they obey him?

²¹ And they were glad to receive him into the ship. And, directly, the ship was at the land to which they were going.

⁹ Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five thousand, and the many baskets ye took up? ¹⁰ Nor the seven loaves and the four thousand, and the many baskets ye took up? ¹¹ How is it that ye do not understand that it was not concerning bread that I spoke to you; but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

⁵ And he looked on them with indignation, being grieved with the hardness of their heart. And he said to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched forth, and his hand was restored.

¹⁸ And he said to them: Are ye likewise so undiscerning? Do ye not know, that whatever from without entereth into a man, cannot defile him?

¹⁷ And Jesus knew it, and said to them: Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye still not know, nor understand? How long will your heart be hard? ¹⁸ and ye have eyes, but see not? and have ears, but hear not, nor reflect? (l9) When I broke the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say to him: Twelve. ¹⁹ :²⁰ He saith to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say: Seven. ²¹ He saith to them: Why is it that, to this time, ye do not consider?

¹⁴ And at last, he appeared to the eleven: as they reclined at table; and he reproved the slenderness of their faith, and the hardness of their heart; because they believed not those who had seen him actually risen.

²⁵ Then Jesus said to them: O deficient in understanding, and slow of heart to believe all the things that the prophets uttered.

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,

³⁴ And they rowed on, and came to the land of Gennesaret. ³⁵ And the men of that place knew him: and they sent to all the villages around them; and they brought to him all that were very sick; ³⁶ and they entreated of him, that they might touch at least the extremity of his garment. And they who touched, were healed.

¹ And it occurred, that a multitude gathered about him, to hear the word of God. And he was standing by the side of the sea of Gennesaret,

²⁴ And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus. ²⁵ And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him: Our Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

¹⁰ that thereby I might know Jesus, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death:

²⁴ And his fame spread through all Syria. And they brought to him all them that were very sick with diverse diseases, and them that were afflicted with pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics and paralytics; and he healed them.

¹ And Jesus again entered into Capernaum, after some days. And when they heard that he was in the house, ² many were assembled, so that the house could not contain them, not even before the door. And he held discourse with them. ³ And they came to him and brought to him a paralytic, borne between four persons.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea. And many people joined him from Galilee, and from Judaea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan, and from Tyre, and from Sidon: great multitudes, when they heard all that he did, came to him. ⁹ And he told his disciples to bring him a ship, on account of the multitude, lest they should crowd upon him ¹⁰ For he had healed many, so that they rushed upon him, in order to touch him. ¹¹ And they who were afflicted with unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down and cried out, and said: Thou art the Son of God.

²⁰ And behold, a woman whose blood had flowed fourteen years, came up behind him, and touched the extremity of his robe:

¹⁰ For he had healed many, so that they rushed upon him, in order to touch him.

²⁷ when she heard of Jesus, came behind him in the press of the crowd, and touched his garment ²⁸ For she said: If I but touch his garment, I shall live.

¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them all.

⁴⁴ came up behind him, and touched the border of his garment; and immediately the flow of her blood stopped.

⁵¹ And Jesus answered and said: Sufficient, thus far. And he touched the ear of him that was smitten, and healed him.

⁹ If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed;

¹² Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live.

¹⁵ So that they brought out into the streets the sick, laid on beds, that when Simon should pass, at least his shadow might cover them.
