¹ And Pharisees and Sadducees came near, tempting him, and asking him to show them a sign from heaven. ² But he answered, and said to them: When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather; for the heavens are red. ³ And in the morning ye say, There will be a storm to-day; for the heavens are sadly red.

¹³ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye devour the houses of widows, under the disguise of protracting your prayers. Therefore ye shall receive greater condemnation. ¹⁴ Woe to you. Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye hold the kingdom of heaven closed before men; for ye enter not yourselves, and those that would enter ye suffer not to enter. ¹⁵ Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye traverse sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is gained, ye make him a child of hell twofold more than yourselves. 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. 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.

²⁷ And Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And he asked his disciples by the way, and said to them: Who, do men say of me, that I am? 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. ²⁹ Jesus said to them: And who, do ye yourselves say of me, that I am? Simon replied, and said to him: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

⁴⁵ And also the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.

¹⁸ And as he was praying in private with his disciples, he asked them, and said: Who, do the multitudes say of me, that I am? ¹⁹ They answer and say to him: John the Baptizer; others, Elijah and others, a prophet, one of the ancient prophets arisen. ²⁰ He said to them: But who, do ye say, that I am? Simon answered, and said: The Messiah of God.

⁵¹ He said to him: Verily, verily, I say to you, That hereafter ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending unto the Son of man.

¹⁴ And as Moses elevated the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up:

²⁷ and hath moreover given him authority to execute judgment. But that he is the Son of man,

³⁴ The multitude said to him: We have heard from the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, that the Son of man is to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

⁵⁶ And he said: Lo, I see heaven open, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

³⁸ concerning Jesus, who was of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. And he it was, who went about and healed those that were suffering from evil, because God was with him.

¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan; ¹⁵ and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage. ¹⁶ For he did not assume a nature from angels, but he assumed a nature from the seed of Abraham. 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. ¹⁸ For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.

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.

¹⁰ And his disciples asked him, and said to him: Why then do the Scribes say, that Elijah must first come?

¹⁵ Others said: He is Elijah: and others: He is a prophet, like one of the prophets.

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.

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

¹⁸ And as he was praying in private with his disciples, he asked them, and said: Who, do the multitudes say of me, that I am? 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.

¹² And there was much altercation among the people respecting him; for some said, He is a good man; while others said, No, but he deceiveth the people.

⁴⁰ And many of the multitude who heard his discourses, said: Certainly, he is a prophet. ⁴¹ Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee?

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.

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

²⁹ Jesus said to them: And who, do ye yourselves say of me, that I am? Simon replied, and said to him: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.

³⁶ And as they proceeded on the way, they came to a certain place in which there was water. And the eunuch said: Lo, here is water; what doth forbid, that I should be baptized?

²⁰ And forthwith he announced Jesus, in the synagogues of the Jews, that he is the Son of God.

¹⁵ and called out, and said: Men, what do ye? We also are frail mortals like yourselves, who preach to you, that ye should turn from these useless things, unto the living God, who made heaven and earth and seas, and whatever is in them.

⁴ and was made known as the Son of God, by power, and by the Holy Spirit,) who arose from the dead, Jesus Messiah, our Lord,

¹⁵ but if I should delay, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God. The pillar and the foundation of the truth,

¹⁰ For on this account, we toil and suffer reproach; because we trust in the living God, who is the life-giver of all men, especially of the believers.

² But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; ³ who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. ⁴ And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs. ⁵ For to which of the angels did God ever say, Thou art my SON, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

³¹ It is very terrible, to fall into the hands of the living God.

²² But ye have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the Jerusalem that is in heaven; and to the assemblies of myriads of angels;

¹⁵ Whoever confesseth Jesus to be the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he abideth in God.

⁵ For who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

²⁰ And we know that the Son of God hath come, and hath given us knowledge that we might know the True One; and that we might be in the True One, in his Son Jesus the Messiah. He is the true God, and the life eternal.

³ Blessed are the poor in spirit for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! ⁴ Blessed are the mourners: for they shall be comforted! ⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth! ⁶ Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satiated! ⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for on them shall be mercies! ⁸ Blessed are the clean in heart: for they shall behold God! ⁹ Blessed are the cultivators of peace: for they shall be called sons of God! ¹⁰ Blessed are they that are persecuted on account of righteousness: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs! ¹¹ Blessed are ye, when they revile you and persecute you, and speak every evil thing against you, falsely, on my account.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answered and said: I praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children. ²⁶ Yes, my Father; for so it seemed good before thee. ²⁷ Every thing is given up by my Father to me. And no one knoweth the Son, except the Father. Also, no one knoweth the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him.

¹⁶ But happy are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. ¹⁷ For verily I say to you, That many prophets and righteous men longed to see what ye see, and did not see it; and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear it.

²¹ In that hour Jesus exulted in the Holy Spirit, and said: I thank thee, my Father, thou Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and hast revealed them to babes: yes, my Father, for such was thy good pleasure. ²² And he turned himself to his disciples, and said to them: Every thing is committed to me by my Father: and no one knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; or who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased to reveal him. ²³ And he turned to his disciples, privately, and said: Blessed are the eyes that see, what ye see. ²⁴ For I say to you, that many prophets and kings desired to see what ye see, and did not see it; and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear it.

³² but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith may not fail. And thou also, in time, turn; and confirm thy brethren.

⁴² And he brought him to Jesus. And Jesus looked upon him, and said Thou art Simon the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas.

⁴⁵ For it is written, in the prophet: And they shall all be taught of God. Whoever, therefore, heareth from the Father, and learneth from him, cometh to me.

⁶ I have made known thy name to the men, whom thou gavest me from the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word. ⁷ Now I have known, that whatever thou hast given me, was from thee. ⁸ For, the words thou gavest to me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known certainly, that I came from thy presence; and they have believed that thou didst send me.

¹⁵ And when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Cephas: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me, more than these do? He said to him: Yes, my Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my lambs for me. ¹⁶ Again, he said to him the second time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He said to him: Yes, my Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me. ¹⁷ Again, Jesus said to him the third time: Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? And it grieved Cephas, that he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me; and he said to him: My Lord, thou understandest all things, thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus said to him: Feed my sheep for me.

⁹ But, as it is written: The eye hath not seen, nor hath the ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man, that which God hath prepared for those who love him. ¹⁰ But God hath revealed it to us, by his Spirit; for the Spirit exploreth all things, even the profound things of God. ¹¹ For what man is there, who knoweth that which is in a man, except it be the spirit of the man, which is in him? So also, that which is in God, no one knoweth, except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God; that we might know the free gifts, which are given to us by God.

⁵⁰ But this I say, my brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven: neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

¹¹ But I make known to you, my brethren, that the gospel announced by me, was not from man. ¹² For I did not receive it and learn it from man, but I had it by revelation from Jesus the Messiah.

¹⁶ to reveal his Son by me, that I should proclaim him among the Gentiles; forthwith, I did not open it to flesh and blood; 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; ¹⁸ and that the eyes of your hearts may be enlightened, so that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints;

⁸ For it is by his grace we are rescued, through faith; and this is not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God:

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now revealed to his holy legates and to his prophets, by the Spirit;

¹⁸ and that ye may be able to explore, with all the saints, what is the height and depth, and length and breadth, ¹⁹ and may know the greatness of the Messiah's love; and that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God.

¹² For our conflict is not with flesh and blood, but with principalities, and with those in authority, and with the possessors of this dark world, and with the evil spirits that are beneath heaven.

²⁶ namely, that mystery, which was hidden for ages and generations, but is now revealed to his saints; ²⁷ to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which mystery is the Messiah; who in you is the hope of our glory;

¹⁴ For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan;

³ Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, who in his great mercy hath begotten us anew, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, to the hope of life, ⁴ and to an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading, which is prepared for you in heaven; ⁵ while ye are kept, by the power of God and by faith, for the life that is prepared and will be revealed in the last times;

¹ And I, an Elder, your associate, and a witness of the sufferings of the Messiah, and a participator in his glory which is to be revealed, entreat the Elders who are among you:

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;

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.

¹⁷ And if he will also not hear them, tell it to the church. And if he will also not hear the church, let him be to thee as a publican and a heathen.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice: and I know them: and they go after me. ²⁸ And I give to them life eternal: and they will never be lost: nor will any one pluck them from my hand. ²⁹ For my Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; nor can any pluck from my Father's hand. ³⁰ I and my Father are one.

⁴⁷ And they praised God, and had favor with all the people. And our Lord added daily to the assembly those who became alive.

¹ And Saul was consenting and participating in his death. And there was, in that day, a great persecution against the church that was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed, except the legates, among the villages of Judaea and likewise among the Samaritans.

³³ Who will set himself against the chosen of God? It is God who justifieth. ³⁴ Who is it that condemneth? Messiah died, and arose, and is on the right hand of God, and maketh intercession for us. ³⁵ What will sever me from the love of Messiah? Will affliction? or distress? or persecution? or famine? or nakedness? or peril? or the sword? ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake, we die daily: and, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. ³⁷ But in all these things we are victorious, by means of him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to sever me from the love of God, which is in our Lord Jesus Messiah.

⁹ For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice. ¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given me, I laid the foundation like a wise architect; and another buildeth on it. But let each one see, how he buildeth on it. ¹¹ For any other foundation can no man lay, different from that which is laid, which is Jesus Messiah.

⁵⁵ Where is thy sting, O death? And where is thy victory, O grave?

⁹ And James, Cephas, and John, who were accounted pillars, when they perceived the grace that was given to me, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship; that we should labor among the Gentiles, and they among the circumcision.

¹⁹ Wherefore, ye are not strangers, nor sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. ²⁰ And ye are built upon the foundations of the legates and the prophets; and Jesus the Messiah hath become the head of the corner in the edifice. ²¹ And in him all the edifice is framed together, and groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; ²² while ye also are builded in him, for a habitation of God through the Spirit.

¹⁰ so that, by means of the church, the manifold wisdom of God might become known to the principalities and powers that are in heaven:

²⁵ Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah loved his church, and delivered himself up for it; ²⁶ that he might sanctify it, and cleanse it, by the washing of water, and by the word; ²⁷ and might constitute it a glorious church for himself, in which is no stain, and no wrinkle, and nothing like them; but that it might be holy and without blemish.

³² This is a great mystery; but I am speaking of the Messiah, and of his church.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body the church; as he is the head and first-born from among the dead, that he might be the first in all things.

⁵ For if he knoweth not how to guide his own house well, how can he guide the church of God.

³ For much greater is the glory of this man, than that of Moses; just as the glory of the builder of a house, is greater than that of the edifice. ⁴ For every house is built by some man; but he who buildeth all things is God.

²⁸ Since, therefore, we have received a kingdom that is unshaken, let us grasp the grace whereby we may serve and please God, with reverence and fear.

¹⁵ And the seventh angel sounded; and there were voices and thunders, which said: The kingdom of the world hath become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah; and he will reign for ever and ever.

¹ And I saw new heavens, and a new earth: for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away: and the sea was no more. ² And I saw the holy city, the New Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a great voice from heaven, which said: Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men; and he dwelleth with them: they will be his people; and God will be with them, a God to them. ⁴ And every tear will be wiped from their eyes; and there will no more be death, nor mourning, nor wailing; nor shall pain be any more; because the former things are passed away.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and upon them the twelve names of the twelve legates of the Lamb.

¹⁸ Verily I say to you, That whatever ye shall bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven: and whatever ye shall unbind on earth, shall be unbound in heaven.

²³ If ye shall remit sins to any one, they will be remitted to him; and if ye shall retain those of any one, they will be retained.

¹⁴ And afterwards Simon Cephas rose up, with the eleven legates, and elevated his voice, and said to them: Men, Jews, and all ye that reside at Jerusalem; be this known to you, and hearken ye to my words. ¹⁵ For these are not intoxicated, as ye suppose: for lo, it is yet but the third hour. ¹⁶ But this is what was spoken by Joel the prophet: ¹⁷ It shall be in the last days, saith God, that I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons shall prophesy, and your daughters and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. ¹⁸ And upon: my servants and my handmaids will I pour my Spirit, in those days, and they shall prophesy. ¹⁹ And I will give signs in heaven, and prodigies on earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. ²⁰ And the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and fearful day of the Lord come. ²¹ And it shall be, that whoever will call on the name of the Lord, shall live. 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; ²³ him, being hereto appointed by the prescience and the good pleasure of God, ye have delivered into the hands of the wicked; and have crucified and slain. ²⁴ But God hath resuscitated him, and hath loosed the cords of the grave; because it could not be, that he should be held in the grave. ²⁵ For David said of him: I foresaw my Lord at all times; for he is on my right hand, so that I shall not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore my heart doth rejoice, and my glory exult, and also my body shall abide in hope. ²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thy pious one to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast revealed to me the path of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak to you explicitly of the patriarch David, that he died, and also was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day. ³⁰ For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne. ³¹ And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God resuscitated; and we all are his witnesses. ³³ And he it is, who is exalted by the right hand of God, and hath received from the Father a promise respecting the Holy Spirit, and hath sent this gift which, lo, ye see and hear. ³⁴ For David hath not ascended into heaven; because he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, seat thyself at my right hand, ³⁵ until I shall place thy enemies a footstool to thy feet. ³⁶ Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus whom ye crucified, to be Lord and Messiah. ³⁷ And when they heard these things, they were agitated in their heart; and they said to Simon and to the rest of the legates: Brethren, what shall we do? 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. ³⁹ For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those afar off whom God will call. ⁴⁰ And in many other words he testified to them, and entreated of them, saying: Live ye from this perverse generation. ⁴¹ And some of them readily received his discourse, and believed, and were baptized. And there were added, on that day, about three thousand souls. ⁴² And they persevered in the doctrine of the legates; and were associated together in prayer, and in breaking the eucharist.

³⁴ And Simon opened his mouth, and said: Truly I discover that God is no respecter of persons. ³⁵ but, among all the nations, he who feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable with him. ³⁶ For this is the word, which he sent to the sons of Israel, announcing to them peace and rest by Jesus Messiah, He is Lord of all; ³⁷ and ye also know the word, which was in all Judaea, which commenced from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached, ³⁸ concerning Jesus, who was of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. And he it was, who went about and healed those that were suffering from evil, because God was with him. ³⁹ And we are his witnesses, as to whatever he did in all the region of Judaea and in Jerusalem. This same person the Jews hanged on a tree, and slew him. ⁴⁰ And him did God raise up, on the third day; and caused him to be seen with naked eyes; ⁴¹ not indeed by all the people, but by us, who were chosen of God to be his witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead. ⁴² And he commanded us to proclaim and testify to the people, that he is appointed of God to be judge of the living and of the dead. ⁴³ And of him all the prophets testify, that whoever believeth in his name, will receive remission of sins.

⁷ And when there had been much discussion, Simon arose and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that, from the earlier days, God chose that from my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and should believe.

⁴ that ye all assemble together, in the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and I with you in spirit, together with the energy of our Lord Jesus Messiah; ⁵ and that ye deliver him over to Satan, for the destruction of the flesh, that in spirit he may have life, in the day of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹⁰ And whom ye forgive, I also forgive: for that which I forgave to any one, for your sakes I forgave it, in the presence of the Messiah;

⁸ He therefore who spurneth, spurneth not man but God, who hath given his Holy Spirit in you.

¹⁸ and who liveth and was dead; and behold, I am alive for ever and ever. Amen. And I have the keys of death and of the unseen world.

⁷ And to the angel of the church which is at Philadelphia, write: These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, who openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth;

¹ And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star, which fell from heaven upon the earth. And there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.

⁶ They have power to shut up heaven, so that the rain shall not fall in those days: and they have power over the waters, to turn them into blood; and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they please.

¹ And I saw an angel that descended from heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand. ² And he seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the Deceiver and Satan, who seduced the whole habitable world: and he bound him a thousand years. ³ And he cast him into the abyss, and closed and sealed upon him; so that he might deceive the nations no more, until these thousand years shall be completed: but after that, he will be loosed for a little time.

⁴ And Jesus said to him, See, thou tell no man: but go, show thyself to the priests, and present an oblation as Moses enjoined, for a testimony to them.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, and said to them: Speak of this vision before no person, until the Son of man shall have arisen from the dead.

³⁰ And he charged them, that they should say this of him to no person.

⁹ And as they descended the mountain, he commanded them to tell no man what they had seen, till after the Son of man should be risen from the dead.

²¹ And he chided them, and charged them, that they should say this to no one.

³⁶ And when the voice had passed, Jesus was found to be alone. And they kept silence, and told no one in those days what they had seen.

⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah.

⁴⁵ And Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him, of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.

³⁶ Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus whom ye crucified, to be Lord and Messiah.

²² Who is false, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Messiah? And that person is a false Messiah. He that denieth the Father, denieth also the Son.

¹ Whoever believeth that Jesus is the Messiah, is born of God. And whoever loveth the begetter, loveth him also that is begotten of him.

²⁸ Verily I say to you: There are some persons standing here, who shall not taste death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

¹² And I say to you. That, behold, Elijah hath come, and they did not know him; and they have done to him whatever they pleased: and, in like manner, also the Son of man is to suffer from them.

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

¹⁷ And Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem: and he took his twelve disciples aside, on the way, and said to them: ¹⁸ Behold we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the Scribes, and they will condemn him to death. ¹⁹ And they will deliver him over to the Gentiles: and they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will crucify him; and the third day, he will arise.

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

² Ye know that after two days is the Passover; and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.

⁴⁷ And while he was yet speaking, lo, Judas the betrayer, one of the twelve, arrived; and a great multitude with him, with swords and clubs, from the presence of the chief priests and elders of the people.

¹² And when the chief priests and elders accused him, he made no reply.

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

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

³¹ :³² But they did not understand that speech; and they were afraid to ask him.

³² And as they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem, Jesus went before them: and they were amazed, and walked after him with trembling. And he took his twelve, and began to tell them what was to befall him. ³³ Behold, we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and the Scribes; and they will condemn him to die, and will deliver him over to the Gentiles. ³⁴ And they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will spit in his face, and will kill him; and on the third day he will arise.

²² And he said to them: The Son of man is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the Elders and the chief priests and Scribes; and they will kill him; and on the third day, he will arise. ²³ And he said before all the people: He that would follow me, must deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and so come after me. ²⁴ For he that will preserve his life, shall lose it; but he that shall lose his life, for my sake, will preserve it. ²⁵ For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it? ²⁶ And whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels. ²⁷ I tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall see the kingdom of God.

³¹ who appeared in glory. And they were conversing on his departure, which was to be consummated at Jerusalem.

⁴⁴ Lay up these words in your minds: for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men. 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.

²⁵ But, previously, he is to suffer many things, and to be rejected by this generation.

³¹ And Jesus took his twelve, and said to them: Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and all the things written in the prophets, concerning the Son of man, will be fulfilled. ³² For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles; and they will mock him, and spit in his face; ³³ and will scourge him, and will treat him with ignominy, and will kill him; and, the third day, he will arise. ³⁴ But not one of these things, did they understand; but this subject was hidden from them, and they knew not the things told to them. And as they came near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the side of the way, begging.

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

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

¹⁹ Jesus answered, and said to them: Demolish this temple, and in three days I will again erect it. ²⁰ The Jews said to him: Forty and six years, this temple was building; and wilt thou build it again in three days? ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body.

²³ him, being hereto appointed by the prescience and the good pleasure of God, ye have delivered into the hands of the wicked; and have crucified and slain. ²⁴ But God hath resuscitated him, and hath loosed the cords of the grave; because it could not be, that he should be held in the grave. ²⁵ For David said of him: I foresaw my Lord at all times; for he is on my right hand, so that I shall not be moved. ²⁶ Therefore my heart doth rejoice, and my glory exult, and also my body shall abide in hope. ²⁷ For thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, nor wilt thou give thy pious one to see corruption. ²⁸ Thou hast revealed to me the path of life; thou wilt fill me with joy with thy presence. ²⁹ Men, brethren, I may speak to you explicitly of the patriarch David, that he died, and also was buried; and his sepulchre is with us to this day. ³⁰ For he was a prophet, and he knew, that God had sworn to him by an oath: Of the fruit of thy bowels, I will seat one on thy throne. ³¹ And he foresaw, and spoke of the resurrection of Messiah, that he was not left in the grave, neither did his body see corruption. ³² This Jesus hath God resuscitated; and we all are his witnesses.

³ For I delivered to you from the first, as I had received it; that the Messiah died on account of our sins, as it is written: ⁴ and that he was buried and arose on the third day, as it is written:

¹⁶ Simon Cephas answered and said: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. ¹⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonas; for flesh and blood have not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.

⁵¹ And lo, one of them with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus said to him: Return the sword to its place; for all they that take swords, shall die by swords. ⁵³ Supposest thou that I cannot ask of my Father, and he now assign me more than twelve legions of angels?

³² And he spoke out the thing distinctly. And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him.

⁶ And when he came to Simon Cephas, Simon said to him: Dost thou, my Lord, wash my feet for me? ⁷ Jesus answered, and said to him: What I do, thou understandest not now: but hereafter thou wilt understand. ⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Never shalt thou wash my feet. Jesus said to him: Unless I wash thee, thou hast no part with me.

¹¹ And he came in to us, and took the girdle of Paul's loins, and bound his own feet and hands, and said: Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man, who owns this girdle; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. ¹² And when we heard these words, we and the residents of the place begged of him, that he would not go to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered and said: What do ye, weeping and crushing my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him: Begone, Satan; for it is written, that thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God; and him only shalt thou serve.

⁷ Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! For it must be, that stumbling blocks come. But, woe to the person by whose means the stumbling blocks come.

³³ But he turned, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Simon, and said: Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not consider what is of God, but what is of men.

⁸ But Jesus replied, and said to him: It is written Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

⁷⁰ Jesus said to them: Have not I chosen you twelve? Yet one of you is a devil.

⁵ For they who are in the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: and they who are of the Spirit, do mind the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For minding the things of the flesh, is death; but minding the things of the Spirit, is life and peace. 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.

¹³ Henceforth, judge ye not one another; but rather, judge ye this, that thou erect not a stumbling-block for thy brother.

²¹ It is proper, that we neither eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor do any thing, whereby our brother is stumbled.

¹⁴ For a man in his natural self, receiveth not spirituals; for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them; for they are discerned by the Spirit. ¹⁵ But he that is spiritual, judgeth of all things: and he is judged of by no one.

¹⁴ And in this there is nothing strange. For if Satan feigneth himself an angel of light, ¹⁵ it is no great thing if his ministers feign themselves ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their glory their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth.

² Think of things on high; not of the things on earth:

³⁸ and he that doth not bear his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

³² And as they went out, they found a man of Cyrene whose name was Simon; him they compelled to bear his cross.

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

²¹ And Jesus looked on him, and loved him, and said to him: One thing thou lackest. Go, sell all that thou possessest, and give to the poor, and there will be a treasure for thee in heaven; and take thy cross, and come after me.

²¹ And they compelled a passer-by, Simon the Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming from the fields, to bear his cross.

²⁷ And he that doth not take up his cross and come after me, cannot become a disciple to me.

²⁶ And as they led him away, they seized Simon the Cyrenian, coming from the fields. and laid upon him the cross, to bear it after Jesus.

¹⁷ bearing his cross, to a place called a Skull, and in Hebrew called Golgotha;

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, and entreating them to persevere in the faith; and they told them, that it was necessary, through much affliction, to enter into the kingdom of God.

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

³ lest any of you should be disheartened by these afflictions; for ye know, that we are appointed thereto.

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

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

¹ If then the Messiah hath suffered for you in the flesh, do ye also arm yourselves with the same mind: for every one that is dead in his body, hath ceased from all sins, ² that he may no longer be alive to the lusts of men, while he is in the body, but only to do the pleasure of God.

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

³⁵ For, whoever will preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life on my account, and on account of my tidings, shall preserve it.

³³ He that desireth to preserve his life, will lose it; and he that will lose his life, shall preserve it.

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

²³ except that the Holy Spirit in every city, testifieth to me and saith: Bonds and afflictions await thee. ²⁴ But my life is accounted by me as nothing, so that I may but finish my course, and the ministration which I have received from our Lord Jesus, to bear testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

¹¹ And they overcame him, because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony: and they loved not their life, even to death.

⁸ Again the Calumniator took him to a mountain that was very high, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; ⁹ and said to him: All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

²⁹ If therefore thy right eye make thee offend, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; because it is better for thee that thy one member perish, than that thy whole body fall into hell.

³⁶ For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life? ³⁷ Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?

²⁵ For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life or be deprived of it?

²⁰ But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?

²⁵ And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.

⁴¹ He that entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that entertaineth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. ⁴² And whoever shall give one of these little ones to drink a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴⁹ So will it be in the end of the world. The angels will go forth, and will sever the wicked from among the just;

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

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

⁶² And Jesus said to him: I am. And ye will see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and he will come on the clouds of heaven.

²⁶ And whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.

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

⁶⁹ From this time, the Son of man will sit on the right hand of the majesty of God.

¹¹ and saying to them: Ye Galilean men, why stand ye and look toward heaven? This Jesus, who is taken up from you to heaven, will so come, as ye have seen him ascend to heaven.

⁶ who will recompense to every man, according to his deeds;

¹² So then, every one of us must give account of himself to God.

⁸ But food doth not bring us near to God; for if we eat, we do not abound; and if we eat not, we are not in want.

¹⁰ For we are all to stand before the judgment-seat of the Messiah, that each may receive retribution in the body, for what he hath done in it, whether of good, or whether of evil.

⁸ knowing that whatever good thing a man may do, the same will be recompensed to him by our Lord, whether he be a servant or a free man.

¹⁰ while ye wait for his Son from heaven, that Jesus whom he raised from the dead, who delivereth us from the wrath to come.

¹⁶ Because our Lord will himself descend from heaven, with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief angel, and with the trump of God; and the dead who are in the Messiah, will first arise;

⁷ and you, who are the troubled, he will vivify, with us, at the manifestation of our Lord Jesus the Messiah from heaven, with the host of his angels; ⁸ when he will execute vengeance, with the burning of fire, on them that know not God, and on them that acknowledge not the gospel of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. ⁹ For these will be recompensed with the judgment of eternal destruction, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power; ¹⁰ when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to display his wonders in his faithful ones; for our testimony concerning you, will be believed, in that day.

¹⁷ And if so be ye call on the Father, with whom is no respect of persons, and who judgeth every one according to his deeds, pass the time of your sojournment with fear;

¹⁴ And of them also prophesied Enoch, who was the seventh from Adam, when he said: Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints;

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

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small standing before the throne; and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged from the things written in the books, according to their deeds.

¹² Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to recompense every one according to his work. ¹³ I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Commencement and the Completion. ¹⁴ Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Without will be dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood.

²³ And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Israel, till the Son of man shall come.

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

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

⁴² Watch, therefore, since ye know not at what hour your Lord cometh.

¹ And he said to them: Verily I say to you, There are some standing here, who will not taste of death, until they shall see the kingdom of God to be coming with power.

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

²⁶ And it had been told him by the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death, until he should see the Messiah of the Lord.

²⁷ I tell you the truth, that there are some standing here, who will not taste death, until they shall see the kingdom of God.

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

²⁷ And then will they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with much power, and with great glory. ²⁸ And when these things shall begin to be, take courage, and lift up your heads, for your deliverance draweth nigh.

⁵² The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death.

⁹ But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, tasted death for all men.
