Matthew 15 Cross References - Murdock

¹ Then came to Jesus Pharisees and Scribes that were from Jerusalem, and said: ² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread? ³ Jesus replied and said to them: Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God, on account of your tradition? ⁴ For God hath said: Honor thy father, and thy mother; and he that revileth his father or his mother, shall be put to death. ⁵ But ye say Whosoever shall say to a father or to a mother, Be that my offering, by which ye get profit from me: then he must not honor his father or his mother. ⁶ And thus ye make void the word of God, for the sake of your tradition. ⁷ Ye hypocrites, well did the prophet Isaiah prophesy of you, and say : ⁸ This people honoreth me with the lips, but their heart is far from me. ⁹ And in vain they pay me homage, while they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men. ¹⁰ And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand. ¹¹ Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man. ¹² Then came his disciples, and said to him: Knowest thou, that the Pharisees were offended when they heard that speech? ¹³ And he replied, and said to them: Every plant, which my Father who is in heaven hath not planted, shall be eradicated. ¹⁴ Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. And if a blind man leadeth one blind, they will both fall into the ditch. ¹⁵ And Simon Cephas answered and said to him: My Lord, explain to us this similitude. ¹⁶ And he said to them: Are ye also, up to this time, without understanding? ¹⁷ Know ye not, that whatever entereth the mouth, passeth into the belly, and from there is ejected by purgation? ¹⁸ But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man. ¹⁹ For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling. ²⁰ These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled. ²¹ And Jesus departed from there, and went to the confines of Tyre and Sidon. 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. 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. 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. 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? ³⁴ Jesus said to them, How many loaves have ye? They said to him, Seven, and a few little fishes. ³⁵ And he commanded the multitudes to recline on the ground. 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. 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. ³⁹ And when he had sent away the multitudes, he took ship, and came to the coasts of Magdala.

¹ And there gathered about him Pharisees and Scribes, who had come from Jerusalem. ² And they saw some of his disciples eating bread, with their hands unwashed; and they censured it. ³ For all the Jews and the Pharisees, unless they carefully wash their hands do not eat; because they hold fast the tradition of the Elders. ⁴ And coming from the market-place, except they baptize, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have received to observe, such as the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of couches. ⁵ And the Scribes and Pharisees asked him: Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eat bread with their hands unwashed? ⁶ And he said to them: Well did Isaiah the prophet prophecy concerning you, ye hypocrites; as it is written: This people honoreth me with its lips, but their heart is very far from me. ⁷ And in vain do they give me reverence, while teaching as doctrines the precepts of men. ⁸ For ye have forsaken the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men, the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and many things like these. ⁹ He said also to them: Full well do ye spurn the precept of God, that ye may establish your tradition! ¹⁰ For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and whoever shall revile his father or his mother, shall surely die. ¹¹ But ye say: If a man say to his father or to his mother, Be it my oblation, whatever thou mayest gain from me: ¹² then ye suffer him not to do any thing for his father or his mother. ¹³ And ye reject the word of God, on account of the tradition which ye hand down. And many things like these, ye do. ¹⁴ And Jesus called all the multitude, and said to them: Hear, all ye; and understand. ¹⁵ There is nothing without a man which, by entering him, can pollute him. But that which cometh out of him, that it is that polluteth a man. ¹⁶ Whoever hath ears to hear, let him hear. ¹⁷ And when Jesus had entered the house, apart from the multitude, his disciples asked him about this similitude. 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? ¹⁹ For it doth not enter into his heart, but into his belly, and is thrown into the digestive process, which carries off all that is eaten. ²⁰ But that which proceedeth from a man, that defileth a man. ²¹ For from within, from the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adultery, whoredom, ²² theft, murder, avarice, malice, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, reviling, haughtiness, folly. ²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile a man.

⁸ Beware, lest any man make you naked by philosophy, and by vain deception, according to the doctrines of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to the Messiah,

²⁰ For if ye are dead with the Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why are ye judged as if ye were living in the world? ²¹ But, touch thou not, and taste thou not, and handle thou not: ²² for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men. ²³ And they seem to have a kind of wisdom, in a show of humility, and of the fear of God, and of not sparing the body; not in any thing of excellence, but in things subservient to the body.

¹⁸ since ye know, that neither with perishable silver, nor with gold, ye were redeemed from your vain doings, which ye had by tradition from your fathers;

¹³ And ye reject the word of God, on account of the tradition which ye hand down. And many things like these, ye do.

¹⁰ For Moses said: Honor thy father and thy mother; and whoever shall revile his father or his mother, shall surely die. ¹¹ But ye say: If a man say to his father or to his mother, Be it my oblation, whatever thou mayest gain from me: ¹² then ye suffer him not to do any thing for his father or his mother. ¹³ And ye reject the word of God, on account of the tradition which ye hand down.

³ Honor widows, who are truly widows. ⁴ But if a widow hath children, or grandchildren, let them first learn to show kindness to their own households, and to repay the obligations to their parents; for this is acceptable before God.

⁸ But if any one careth not for them who are his own, and especially for them who are of the household of faith, he hath rejected the faith, and is worse than the unbelievers.

¹⁶ If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them support them; and let them not be a burden on the church; so that there may be a sufficiency for such as are really widows.

²³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels. ²⁵ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, while within they are full of rapine and wickedness. ²⁶ Ye blind Pharisees, cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may be clean also. ²⁷ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are like whited sepulchres, which appear comely without, but are within full of bones of the dead and all impurity. ²⁸ So ye also, outwardly, appear to men as righteous; but within, ye are full of iniquity and hypocrisy. ²⁹ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye build the tombs of the prophets and ye adorn the sepulchres of the righteous;

⁶ And he said to them: Well did Isaiah the prophet prophecy concerning you, ye hypocrites; as it is written: This people honoreth me with its lips, but their heart is very far from me.

And Paul addressed to them this speech: Well did the Holy Spirit, by the mouth of Isaiah the prophet, speak concerning your fathers, ²⁶ saying: Go unto this people, and say to them, Hearing ye will hear, and will not understand; and ye will see, and will not comprehend. ²⁷ For the heart of this people is stupefied, and their hearing they have made heavy, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and be converted unto me, and I should forgive them.

⁴⁷ And Jesus saw Nathaniel coming towards him, and said of him: Behold a real Israelite, in whom is no deceit.

² and by which ye have life. In what terms I preached to you, ye remember; unless ye have believed in vain.

¹⁸ And let no one wish, by abasing the mind, to bring you under bonds, that ye subject yourselves to the worship of angels; while he is prying into that which he hath not seen, and is vainly inflated in his fleshly mind, ¹⁹ and holdeth not the head, from which the whole body is framed and constructed, with joints and members, and groweth with the growth given of God. ²⁰ For if ye are dead with the Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why are ye judged as if ye were living in the world? ²¹ But, touch thou not, and taste thou not, and handle thou not: ²² for these things perish in the using; and they are the commandments and doctrines of men.

⁴ and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.

¹ But the Spirit saith explicitly, that in the latter times, some will depart from the faith; and will go after deceptive spirits, and after the doctrine of demons. ² These will seduce, by a false appearance; and will utter a lie, and will be seared in their conscience; ³ and will forbid to marry; and will require abstinence from meats, which God hath created for use and for thankfulness, by them who believe and know the truth.

⁶ If thou shalt inculcate these things on thy brethren, thou wilt be a good minister of Jesus the Messiah, being educated in the language of the faith, and in the good doctrine which thou hast been taught. ⁷ But the silly tales of old women, shun thou; and occupy thyself with righteousness.

⁹ Be not led away by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked in them.

²⁰ Wouldst thou know, O frail man, that faith without works is dead?

¹⁸ I testify to every one that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, that if any one shall add to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book.

¹⁹ Every one that heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the evil one cometh and snatcheth away the seed sowed in his heart: this is what was sowed by the side of the path.

¹⁵ And when ye see the abominable sign of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place; then let the reader consider;

¹⁴ And Jesus called all the multitude, and said to them: Hear, all ye; and understand. ¹⁵ There is nothing without a man which, by entering him, can pollute him. But that which cometh out of him, that it is that polluteth a man.

⁴⁵ And while all the people heard, he said to his disciples: ⁴⁶ Beware of the Scribes, who choose to walk in long robes, and love a salutation in the streets, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and the chief couches at suppers: ⁴⁷ who eat up the houses of widows, under pretence that they prolong their prayers. They will receive a greater condemnation.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their mind to understand the scriptures.

¹⁷ that the God of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, the Father of glory, may give to you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the recognition of him;

⁹ Therefore we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray for you; and to ask that ye may be filled with a knowledge of the good pleasure of God, in all wisdom, and in all spiritual understanding;

⁵ And if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask it of God, who giveth to all freely, and reproacheth not; and it will be given him.

³⁴ Offspring of vipers, how can ye who are evil, speak good things? For out of the fullnesses of the heart the mouth speaketh. ³⁵ A good man out of good treasures bringeth forth good things, and a bad man out of bad treasures bringeth forth bad things. 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. ³⁷ For by thy words thou shalt be justified; and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

¹⁸ But that which proceedeth from the mouth, cometh from the heart: and that is what defileth a man. ¹⁹ For, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, adultery, murder, whoredom, theft, false testimony, reviling. ²⁰ These are the things that defile a man. But if a man eat while his hands are unwashed, he is not defiled.

¹⁵ There is nothing without a man which, by entering him, can pollute him. But that which cometh out of him, that it is that polluteth a man.

³⁸ And the Pharisee noticing him, wondered that he did not previously baptize before dinner. ³⁹ And Jesus said to him: Now ye Pharisees make clean the exterior of the cup and the dish; but your interior is full of extortion and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior? ⁴¹ But, give ye alms from what ye possess; and lo, every thing will be clean to you.

¹⁴ And Simon said: Far be it, my Lord: for never have I eaten any thing unclean and polluted. ¹⁵ And again the second time, there was a voice to him: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean.

⁸ And I said: Far be it, my Lord. For never hath any thing polluted or unclean entered my mouth. ⁹ And again, a voice from heaven said to me: What God hath cleansed, make thou not unclean.

¹³ Their throats are open sepulchres, and their tongues treacherous; and the venom of the asp is under their lips. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness;

¹⁴ I know indeed, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing which is unclean in itself; but to him who thinketh any thing to be unclean, to him only it is defiled.

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

²⁰ And let us not, on account of food, destroy the work of God. For every thing is, indeed, pure; yet it is evil, to the man who eateth with stumbling.

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.

¹⁵ For to the pure, every thing is pure; but to them who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but their understanding is defiled, and their conscience.

⁵ So likewise the tongue is a small member, and it exalteth itself. Also a little fire inflameth large forests. ⁶ Now the tongue is a fire, and the world of sin is like a forest. And this tongue, which is one among our members, marreth our whole body; and it inflameth the series of our generations that roll on like a wheel; and it is itself on fire. ⁷ For all natures of beasts and birds and reptiles, of the sea or land, are subjugated by the nature of man. ⁸ But the tongue hath no one been able to tame: it is an evil thing, not coercible, and full of deadly poison.

¹⁸ For, while they utter astonishing vanity, they seduce, with obscene lusts of the flesh, them who have almost abandoned these that walk in error.

²⁷ But still, lest they be stumbled with us, go thou to the sea and cast in a fish-hook, and the fish that shall first come up, open its mouth, and thou wilt find a stater that take, and give for me and for thyself.

³² Be ye without offence to the Jews, and to the Gentiles, and to the church of God: ³³ even as I also, in every thing, please every man; and do not seek what is profitable to me, but what is profitable to many; that they may live.

³ Give ye no occasion of offence to any one in any thing, that there may be no reproach on our ministry.

⁵ not for the space of an hour, did we throw ourselves into subjection to them; so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from above, is pure, and full of peace, and mild, and submissive, and full of compassion and of good fruits, and without partiality, and without respect of persons.

⁴⁰ As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so will it be in the end of the world. ⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling blocks, and all the doers of evil;

² Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.

⁶ And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned.

⁹ For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.

¹² And if any one buildeth on this foundation, either gold, or silver, or precious stones, or wood, or hay, or stubble; ¹³ the work of each will be exposed to view; for the day will expose it; because it is to be tested by fire; and the fire will disclose the work of each, of what sort it is. ¹⁴ And that builder whose work shall endure, will receive his reward. ¹⁵ And he, whose work shall burn up, will suffer loss; yet himself will escape; but it will be, as from the fire.

¹⁶ Woe to you, ye blind guides: for ye say, Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold that is in the temple, he is holden. ¹⁷ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? ¹⁸ And, whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whoever shall swear by the oblation upon it, he is holden. ¹⁹ Ye fools, and blind: for which is greater, the oblation, or the altar that sanctifieth the oblation? ²⁰ He therefore who sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that is upon it. ²¹ And he who sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth in it. ²² And he who sweareth by heaven, sweareth by throne of God, and by him that sitteth on it. ²³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and omit the graver matters of the law, judgment, and mercy, and fidelity: these ought ye to do, and those not to omit. ²⁴ Ye blind guides, who strain out gnats, and swallow down camels.

³⁹ And he spake a similitude to them: Can a blind man lead a blind? Will not both fall into the ditch?

⁵ and the disputation of men, whose minds are corrupt and destitute of the truth, and who suppose that gain is godliness. But from these stand thou aloof.

¹ But in the world, there have been also false prophets, as there will likewise be false teachers among you, who will bring in destructive heresies, denying the Lord that bought them; thus bringing on themselves swift destruction.

¹⁷ These are wells without water, clouds driven by a tempest, persons for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness.

²⁰ And the beast of prey was captured, and the false prophet that was with him, who did those prodigies before him, whereby he seduced them who had received the mark of the beast of prey and who worshipped his image. And they were both cast alive into the lake of fire, which burneth with sulphur.

¹⁵ Without will be dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood.

³⁶ Then Jesus sent away the multitudes, and went into the house. And his disciples came to him, and said: Explain to us the similitude of the tares and the field.

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

¹⁷ And when Jesus had entered the house, apart from the multitude, his disciples asked him about this similitude.

²⁹ His disciples say to him: Lo, now thou speakest plainly, and thou utterest no allegory.

⁵¹ Jesus said to them: Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes, our Lord.

¹⁰ And he called the multitudes, and said to them, Hear and understand.

⁹ Have ye not yet understood? Do ye not remember the five loaves and the five 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?

⁵² For they did not learn by the bread; because their heart was stupid.

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.

³² But they did not understand that speech; and they were afraid to ask him.

⁴⁵ But they understood not that speech; because it was hidden from them, that they should not know it: and they feared to ask him concerning that speech.

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.

¹² For ye ought to be teachers, seeing ye have been long in the doctrine. But now ye need to learn again the first lines of the commencement of the oracles of God: and ye have need of milk, and not of strong food.

¹⁹ Every tree that beareth not good fruits, is cut down and consigned to the fire. ²⁰ Wherefore, by their fruits ye shall know them.

⁴⁵ A good man, from the good treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out good things: and a bad man, from the bad treasure that is in his heart, bringeth out bad things. For, from the abundance of the heart, the lips speak.

¹³ Food is for the belly; and the belly is for food; but God will bring them both to naught. But the body is not for whoredom, but for our Lord; and our Lord for the body.

⁶ Now the tongue is a fire, and the world of sin is like a forest. And this tongue, which is one among our members, marreth our whole body; and it inflameth the series of our generations that roll on like a wheel; and it is itself on fire.

³⁴ Offspring of vipers, how can ye who are evil, speak good things? For out of the fullnesses of the heart the mouth speaketh.

¹¹ Not that which entereth the mouth, defileth a man; but that which proceedeth from the mouth, that defileth a man.

²² He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not!

⁶ Now the tongue is a fire, and the world of sin is like a forest. And this tongue, which is one among our members, marreth our whole body; and it inflameth the series of our generations that roll on like a wheel; and it is itself on fire. ⁷ For all natures of beasts and birds and reptiles, of the sea or land, are subjugated by the nature of man. ⁸ But the tongue hath no one been able to tame: it is an evil thing, not coercible, and full of deadly poison. ⁹ For with it, we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who were made in the image of God: ¹⁰ and from the same mouth, proceed curses and blessings. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

⁵ And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things, and blasphemies: and authority was given him to operate forty and two months. ⁶ And he opened his mouth in blasphemy towards God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and them who dwell in heaven.

⁴ But Jesus knew their thoughts: and he said to them, Why do ye think evil things in your heart?

²² Nevertheless, repent of this thy wickedness, and entreat of God, if perhaps the guile of thy heart may be forgiven thee.

¹⁰ As it is written: There is none righteous; no, no one: ¹¹ and none that understandeth; nor that seeketh after God. ¹² They have all turned aside, together; and become reprobates. There is none that doeth good; no, not one. ¹³ Their throats are open sepulchres, and their tongues treacherous; and the venom of the asp is under their lips. ¹⁴ Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; ¹⁵ and their feet are swift to shed blood. ¹⁶ Destruction and anguish are in their paths: ¹⁷ and the path of peacefulness they have not known: ¹⁸ and the fear of God is not before their eyes. ¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God.

¹⁸ For I know, that in me, (that is, in my flesh,) good dwelleth not: because, to approve the good, is easy for me; but to do it, I am unable.

⁷ Because minding the things of the flesh, is enmity towards God: for it doth not subject itself to the law of God, because it is not possible. ⁸ And they who are in the flesh cannot Please God.

¹⁹ For the works of the flesh are known, which are whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness, ²⁰ idol-worship, magic, malice, contention, rivalry, wrath, strife, divisions, discords, ²¹ envy, murder, drunkenness, revelling, and all the like things. And they who perpetrate these things, as I have before told you, and also now tell you, do not inherit the kingdom of God.

¹ and also you, he filleth, who were dead in your sins, and in your offences, ² in the which ye before walked, according to the worldliness of this world, and according to the pleasure of the prince potentate of the air, that spirit which is active in the children of disobedience: ³ in which deeds we also, formerly, were conversant, in the cravings of our flesh; and we did the pleasure of our flesh, and of our mind, and were altogether the children of wrath, like the rest.

² and that they speak ill of no man; that they be not contentious, but mild; and that in every thing they manifest benignity towards all men. ³ For we also were formerly reckless, and disobedient, and erring, and serving divers lusts, and living in malice and envy, and were hateful and also hating one another. ⁴ But when the kindness and compassion of God our Life-giver was revealed, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to his mercy, he vivified us, by the washing of the new birth, and by the renovation of the Holy Spirit, ⁶ which he shed on us abundantly, by Jesus the Messiah our Life-giver:

¹³ Let no one when he is tempted, say, I am tempted of God: for God is not tempted with evils, nor doth he tempt any man. ¹⁴ But every man is tempted by his own lust; and he lusteth, and is drawn away. ¹⁵ And this his lust conceiveth, and bringeth forth sin; and sin, when mature, bringeth forth death.

² Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders, and wash not their hands when they eat bread?

²⁵ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, while within they are full of rapine and wickedness. ²⁶ Ye blind Pharisees, cleanse first the inside of the cup and dish, that their outside may be clean also.

³ For all the Jews and the Pharisees, unless they carefully wash their hands do not eat; because they hold fast the tradition of the Elders. ⁴ And coming from the market-place, except they baptize, they do not eat. And there are many other things which they have received to observe, such as the baptisms of cups, and of pots, and of brazen vessels, and of couches.

³⁸ And the Pharisee noticing him, wondered that he did not previously baptize before dinner. ³⁹ And Jesus said to him: Now ye Pharisees make clean the exterior of the cup and the dish; but your interior is full of extortion and wickedness. ⁴⁰ Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior?

¹⁶ Know ye not, that ye are the temple of God? and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? ¹⁷ Whoever shall mar the temple of God, God will mar him: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

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, ¹⁰ nor the avaricious, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor railers, nor extortioners, will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And these things have been in some of you: but ye are washed, and are sanctified, and made righteous, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and by the Spirit of our God.

¹⁸ Flee whoredom. For every other sin which a man committeth, is external to his body; but he that committeth whoredom, sinneth against his own body. ¹⁹ Or know ye not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who abideth in you, whom ye have received from God? And ye are not your own. ²⁰ For ye are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify ye God, with your body, and with your spirit, which are God's.

³ But whoredom, and all impurity, and avarice let them not be at all heard of among you, as it becometh the saints; ⁴ Neither obscenities, nor words of folly, or of division, or of scurrility, which are not useful; but instead of these, thanksgiving. 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. ⁶ Let no man deceive you with vain words; for it is on account of these things that the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience.

⁸ But to the timid, and the unbelieving, and to the sinful, and polluted, and to manslayers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and to all false persons, their portion shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.

²⁷ And there shall not enter it, any thing polluted, or that practiseth impurity and falsehood; but they who are registered in the Lamb's book of life.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth: and he commanded them and said: Go not in the way of the Gentiles: and enter not the cities of the Samaritans. ⁶ But, go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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 Thence Jesus arose, and went to the border of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered a house, and wished no man to know him; but he could not be concealed. ²⁵ For immediately a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him; and she came, and fell before his feet, 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. ³⁰ And she went to her house, and found her daughter lying on a bed, and the demon gone from her.

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

⁸ Bring forth the fruits therefore, that accord with repentance. ⁹ And do not think, and say within yourselves, that Abraham is our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these tones to raise up children to Abraham.

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.

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

¹⁵ and said to him: My Lord, compassionate me. I have a son who is a lunatic, and grievously afflicted; for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.

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.

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?

²⁵ For immediately a woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him; and she came, and fell before his feet, ²⁶ (the woman was a Gentile from Phenicia of Syria), and besought him, that he would expel the demon from her daughter.

¹⁷ And one of the multitude replied, and said: Teacher, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a spirit that will not speak. ¹⁸ And wherever he seizeth him, he shaketh and teareth him: and he gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples, to cast him out; and they could not. ¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long bear with you? Bring him to me. ²⁰ And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed. ²¹ And Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his childhood. ²² And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.

¹³ and raised their voice, and said: Our Rabbi, Jesus, have compassion upon us.

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.

³⁸ And he called out, and said: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. 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.

⁴¹ Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee? ⁴² Doth not the scriptures say, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town of David?

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.

⁴⁷ And he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarean; and he began to cry out, and to say: Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁸ And many rebuked him, that he might be silent. But he cried out the more, and said: Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

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

⁴ What man among you, that hath a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the desert, and go and seek for that which is lost, until he find it? ⁵ And when he findeth it, he rejoiceth, and taketh it upon his shoulders; ⁶ and he cometh home, and he calleth together his friends and neighbors, and saith to them: Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep that was lost.

²⁵ Ye are the children of the prophets: and that covenant which God made with our fathers, when he said to Abraham, that in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed, ²⁶ he hath first established to you: and God hath sent his Son to bless you, if ye will be converted, and repent of your wickedness.

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.

⁸ Now I say, that Jesus Messiah ministered to the circumcision, in behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the promise made to the fathers;

² And behold, a leper came and worshipped him, and said: My Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

³³ And they that were in the ship, came and worshipped him, and said: Truly thou art the Son of God!

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.

²² And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me.

²⁴ And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.

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?

⁶ Give not a holy thing to dogs: and cast not your pearls before swine; lest they tread them under their feet, and turn and lacerate you.

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.

²¹ But he said to me: Depart; for I send thee afar, to preach to the Gentiles. ²² And when they had heard Paul as far as this sentence, they raised their voice, and cried out: Away with such a man from the earth! for he ought not to live!

⁴ who are sons of Israel, to whom belonged the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministration, and the promises, and the fathers;

¹⁵ For if we, who are Jews by nature, and are not sinners of the Gentiles,

¹² And ye were, at that time, without the Messiah; and were aliens from the regulations of Israel; and strangers to the covenant of the promise; and were without hope, and without God, in the world.

² Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh.

⁴⁵ that ye may be the children of your Father that is in heaven, who causeth his sun to rise upon the good and upon the bad, and sendeth his rain upon the righteous and upon the unrighteous.

⁸ The centurion replied, and said: My Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my child will be healed.

⁶ And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to him, and said to him: My Lord, trouble not thyself, for I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof: ⁷ therefore I deemed myself not worthy to approach thee myself; but speak the word only, and my young man will be healed.

¹⁸ I will arise and go to my father, and say to him: My father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee; ¹⁹ and am no longer worthy to be called thy son. Make me like one of thy hired servants.

²¹ And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.

⁴⁰ But his fellow Malefactor rebuked him, said to him: Art thou not afraid even of God, seeing thou art under the same sentence? ⁴¹ And we justly; for we have a retribution according to our deserts, and according to our deeds; but nothing hateful hath been done by him. ⁴² And he said to Jesus: My Lord, remember me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.

⁴ Far be it: for God is veracious, and every man false: as it is written: That thou mightest be upright, in thy declarations; and be found pure, when they judge thee.

¹⁹ Now we know, that whatever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be guilty before God.

²⁹ For, is he the God of the Jews only, and not of the Gentiles? Nay: of the Gentiles also.

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.

⁸ And last of them all, he was seen by me, as it were by an abortion. ⁹ I am the least of the legates; and am not worthy to be called a legate; because I persecuted the church of God.

⁸ to me, who am the least of all the saints, hath this grace been given, that I should announce among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of the Messiah,

¹⁹ and may know the greatness of the Messiah's love; and that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.

¹³ me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith. ¹⁴ And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah. ¹⁵ Faithful is the declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.

¹⁰ And when Jesus heard this, he admired it; and he said to those walking with him, Verily I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.

¹³ And Jesus said to the centurion. Go; be it to thee as thou hast believed. And his child was cured in that same hour.

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.

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.

³¹ And immediately our Lord reached forth his hand, and caught him, and said to him: O small in faith, why didst thou distrust!

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

²³ Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth. ²⁴ And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith.

⁹ And when Jesus heard these things, he admired him; and he turned, and said to the throng that followed him: I say to you, I have not found faith like this even in Israel.

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

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

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.

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him: Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus spake to him, and went away. ⁵¹ And as he was going down, his servants met him, and informed him and said to him: Thy son liveth. ⁵² And he asked them, at what time he recovered. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ And his father knew, that it was at the hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his house.

¹⁹ And he was not sickly in his faith, while contemplating his inert body, (for he was a hundred years old,) and the inert womb of Sarah. ²⁰ And he did not hesitate at the promise of God, as one lacking faith; but he was strong in faith, and gave glory to God;

³ We are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren, as it is proper; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and, in you all, the love of each for his fellow increaseth.

¹⁸ And as he walked on the shore of the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Cephas, and Andrew his brother, who were casting nets into the sea; for they were fishermen.

¹ And when Jesus saw the multitudes, he ascended a hill; and when he was seated, his disciples drew near him:

² And great multitudes assembled around him; so that he embarked and seated himself in a ship, and all the multitude stood on the shore of the sea.

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.

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.

³¹ Again Jesus departed from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of Decapolis. ³² And they brought to him a deaf and stammering man, and besought him to lay his hand on him. ³³ And he led him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and spit, and touched his tongue, ³⁴ and looked towards heaven, and sighed, and said to him: Be opened. ³⁵ And immediately his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plainly. ³⁶ And he charged them to tell no man of it: and the more he charged them, the more they proclaimed it. ³⁷ And they admired exceedingly, and said: He doeth every thing excellently: he maketh the deaf to hear, and the speechless to talk.

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,

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

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

¹ After these things, Jesus showed himself again to his disciples, at the sea of Tiberias: and he showed himself thus:

²³ And Jesus traveled over all Galilee. and he taught in their synagogues and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom; and he cured every disease and malady among the people. 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.

⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them: Go, tell John the things that ye hear and see: 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:

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.

³² And in the evening at the setting of the sun, they brought to him all them that were diseased, and demoniacs. ³³ And all the city was collected at the door. ³⁴ And he healed many who labored under divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

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. ⁵⁶ And wherever he entered into villages or cities, the sick were laid in he streets: and they besought him, that they might touch but the extremity of his raiment. And all they that touched him, were healed.

¹⁷ And Jesus descended with them, and stood in the plain; and a great company of his disciples, and a multitude of assembled people, from all Judaea, and from Jerusalem and from the seashore of Tyre and Sidon; who came to hear his discourse, and to be healed of their diseases; ¹⁸ and they who were afflicted by unclean spirits: and they were healed. ¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch him; for there went a virtue out of him and healed them all.

²¹ And in that hour he healed many persons of their diseases, and of plagues, and of unclean spirits, and gave sight to many blind persons. ²² And Jesus replied, and said to them: Go ye, and tell John all that ye have seen and heard; that the blind see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead arise, and to the poor good news is proclaimed:

²² Men, sons of Israel, hear ye these words: Jesus the Nazarean, a man made manifest among you by God, by those deeds of power and prodigies which God wrought among you by his hand, as ye yourselves know;

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. ¹⁶ And many came to them from other cities around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who had unclean spirits; and they were all cured.

¹¹ And God wrought very great miracles by the hand of Paul: ¹² so that, from the clothes on his body, napkins and rags were carried and laid upon the sick, and the diseases left them, and demons also went out.

⁸ And when the multitudes saw it, they were struck with awe; and they praised God, who had given authority like this to men.

³³ And when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed. And the multitudes admired, and said: Never was it so seen in Israel!

⁸ If then thy hand or thy foot make thee stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is good for thee to enter into life lame or mutilated, and not that, with two hands or two feet, thou fall into eternal fire.

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

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.

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

⁴³ And if thy hand make thee offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than, having two hands, to go into hell;

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.

¹³ But when thou makest a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind.

²¹ And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the lord of the house was angry: and he said to his servant, Go out quickly into the market-places and streets of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the diseased, and the lame, and the blind.

¹⁵ And one of them, when he saw that he was cleansed, returned, and with a loud voice, glorified God. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face, at the feet of Jesus, and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered, and said: Were they not ten who were cleansed? Where are the nine? ¹⁸ Have they so gone as not to come and give glory to God; except this one, who is of another nation?

⁴³ And immediately he saw. And he followed after him, and glorified God. And all the people who beheld, gave glory to God.

²⁴ And they called a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him: Give glory to God; for we know that this man is a sinner.

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. ⁴ And Simon and John looked on him, and said to him: Look on us. ⁵ And he looked on them, expecting to receive something from them. ⁶ Simon said to him: Gold and silver, I have not; but what I have, I give to thee; in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, the Nazarean, rise up and walk. ⁷ And he took him by the right hand, and raised him up: and forthwith, his feet and his heels recovered strength. ⁸ And he sprang, stood up, and walked: and he entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. ⁹ And all the people saw him, as he walked and praised God. ¹⁰ And they knew that he was the beggar, who sat daily and asked alms, at the gate called Beautiful: and they were filled with wonder and admiration at what had occurred. ¹¹ And as he held fast to Simon and John, all the people admiring ran to them at the portico called Solomon's.

⁸ And a certain man dwelt in the city Lystra, who was afflicted in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who had never walked. ⁹ He heard Paul speak: and when Paul saw him, and knew that he had faith to live; ¹⁰ he said to him, with a loud voice: In the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, I say to thee, Rise upon thy feet. And he sprang up, stood, and walked.

³² For, all these things the people of the world seek after. And your Father, who is in heaven, knoweth that all these things are needful to you. ³³ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness: and all these things shall be added to you.

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.

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.

³⁴ And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.

⁶³ and said to him: Our Lord, we remember that this deceiver said, while he was alive, After three days, I shall arise.

¹ And in those days, when the multitude was great, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them: 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 immediately he entered a ship, with his disciples, and came to the place Dalmanutha.

¹³ And Jesus looked upon her, and had compassion on her; and he said to her, Weep not.

²⁹ And inquire not, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor let your mind wander upon these things. ³⁰ For all these things the people of the world seek after; and your father knoweth that, for you also, these things are needful.

³³ And while it was not yet morning, Paul advised them all to take food, saying to them: In consequence of the peril, it is now the fourteenth day that ye have tasted nothing.

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.

³⁷ And he said to them: Give ye them to eat. They say to him: Shall we go and buy bread of the value of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?

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.

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:

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?

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?

⁴¹ And while they still believed not, for their joy, and were astonished; he said to them: Have ye here any thing to eat? ⁴² And they gave him a piece of broiled fish, and of honeycomb.

⁹ And when they came upon the land, they saw coals placed, and fish laid on them, and bread. ¹⁰ And Jesus said to them: Bring some of the fishes, which ye have just caught.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. ²⁷ And he took the cup, and offered thanks and gave it to them, saying: Take, drink of this all of you.

¹⁷ And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said: Take this, and divide it among you.

¹⁹ And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to them, and said: This is my body, which is given for your sakes. This do ye, in remembrance of me.

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.

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.

³ and will forbid to marry; and will require abstinence from meats, which God hath created for use and for thankfulness, by them who believe and know the truth. ⁴ Because whatever is created by God is good; and there is nothing which should be rejected if it be received with thankfulness;

³³ His disciples say to him: Whence can we get bread in the wilderness, to satisfy all this multitude?

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.

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?

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

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.

¹⁰ And immediately he entered a ship, with his disciples, and came to the place Dalmanutha.
