³¹ Our fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. ³² Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not the bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the real bread from heaven. ³³ For the bread of God is, he that came down from heaven, and giveth life to the world. ³⁴ They say to him: Our Lord, give us at all times this bread. ³⁵ Jesus said to them: I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me, shall not hunger; and he that believeth on me, shall not thirst, for ever. ³⁶ But I said to you, That ye have seen me, and do not believe. ³⁷ All that my Father gave me, will come to me: and him, that cometh to me, I will not cast out. ³⁸ For I came down from heaven, not to do my own pleasure, but the pleasure of him that sent me. ³⁹ And this is the pleasure of him that sent me, that whatever he hath given me, I should lose nothing of it, but should raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ For this is the pleasure of my Father, that every one who seeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day. ⁴¹ Then the Jews murmured at him, because he said: I am the bread, who have descended from heaven. ⁴² And they said: Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? And how doth he say: I came down from heaven? ⁴³ Jesus replied and said to them: Murmur not, one with another. ⁴⁴ No man can come to me, unless the Father who sent me, shall draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 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. ⁴⁶ Not that any one hath seen the Father, except him who hath come from God; he it is, hath seen the Father. ⁴⁷ Verily, verily, I say to you: That, to him who believeth in me, there is life eternal. ⁴⁸ I am the bread of life. ⁴⁹ Your fathers ate the manna, in the wilderness, and they died. ⁵⁰ But this is the bread which cometh from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. ⁵¹ I am the bread of life, who have come down from heaven: and if a man shall eat of this bread, he will live for ever. And the bread which I shall give, is my body, which I give for the life of the world. ⁵² Then the Jews contended one with another, and said: How can he give us his body to eat? ⁵³ And Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That, unless ye eat the body of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life within you. ⁵⁴ But he that eateth of my body, and drinketh of my blood, to him is life eternal; and I will raise him up at the last day ⁵⁵ For my body truly is food, and my blood truly is drink. ⁵⁶ He that eateth my body, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him ⁵⁷ As the living Father hath sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that shall eat me, he also will live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down from heaven: not as your fathers ate the manna, and died; whoever shall eat of this bead, will live for ever. ⁵⁹ These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.

³ Now this Herod had seized John, and bound him and cast him into prison; on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.

¹⁴ After John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, and proclaimed the tidings, of the kingdom of God,

¹⁷ For Herod had sent and seized John and bound him in prison, on account of Herodias, his brother Philips wife, whom he had taken.

²⁰ added this also to them all, that he shut up John in prison.

¹⁴ And Jesus returned, in the power of the Spirit, to Galilee; and fame concerning him spread in all the region around them.

³¹ And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee; and taught them on sabbath days.

²⁴ For John had not yet fallen into prison.

⁴³ And after two days Jesus departed from there and went into Galilee.

⁵⁴ This again was the second sign that Jesus wrought, when he came from Judaea to Galilee.

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 And when they came to Capernaum, those who receive the two drachmas of capitation money came to Cephas, and said to him: Doth not your rabbi pay his two drachmas?

²¹ And when they entered Capernaum, he immediately taught on the sabbath in their synagogues.

²³ Jesus said to them: Perhaps, ye will speak to me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: and whatever we have heard of thy doing in Capernaum, do thou here also in thy city.

³⁰ But he passed through the midst of them, and went away. ³¹ And he went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee; and taught them on sabbath days.

¹² Afterwards he went down to Capernaum, he and his mother and his brothers and his disciples; and they were there a few days.

⁴⁶ And Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a king's servant, whose son was sick.

¹⁷ and sat in a ship, and were going over to Capernaum. And darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them.

²⁴ And when the multitude saw, that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples; they embarked in ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought for Jesus.

⁵⁹ These things he uttered in the synagogue, while teaching at Capernaum.

²² Now all this that occurred, was to fulfill what was spoken of the Lord by the prophet:

¹⁵ And he was there, until the death of Herod; that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, From Egypt have I called my son.

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

¹⁷ that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said: He will bear our sorrows, and our infirmities he will take upon him.

¹⁷ that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, saying: ¹⁸ Behold my servant, in whom I have complacency; my beloved, in whom my soul delighteth. I will put my spirit upon him; and he shall proclaim judgment to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ He shall not contend, nor be clamorous, nor shall any one hear his voice in the market-place. ²⁰ The crushed reed he will not break; and the flickering lamp he will not extinguish; until he bring judgment to be victorious. ²¹ And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

⁵⁴ But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

⁵⁶ And this occurred, that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all forsook him and fled.

³⁷ For I say to you, That this also, which was written, must be fulfilled in me: I shall be numbered with transgressors. For, all that relates to me, will be fulfilled.

⁴⁴ And he said to them: These are the things which I said to you while I was with you, That all things written of me, in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, must be fulfilled.

²⁵ so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause.

²⁸ After these things, Jesus knew that every thing was finished; and, that the scripture might be fulfilled, he said: I thirst.

³⁶ For these things occurred, that the scripture might be fulfilled, which said: A bone of him shall not be broken. ³⁷ And again another scripture, which saith: They will look on him, whom they pierced.

⁷⁸ through the compassion of the mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high will visit us, ⁷⁹ to give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death; and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

³² a light for a revelation to the Gentiles, and a glory for thy people Israel.

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

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

⁷ And as ye go, proclaim and say: The kingdom of heaven hath approached.

¹² And from the days of John the Baptizer, until now, the kingdom of heaven is assailed by force, and the violent seize it.

⁹ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

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.

²⁴ Another similitude he proposed to them, and said: The kingdom of heaven is like to a man who sowed good seed in his field.

⁴⁷ Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a sweep net, which was cast into the sea, and collected fishes of every kind.

¹ Then may the kingdom of heaven be shadowed forth by ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom and bride.

³² I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.

² And he sent them forth, to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

¹¹ Even the dust of your city which adhereth to our feet, we shake off against you: but this know ye, that the kingdom of God hath come near to you. ¹² I say to you, that for Sodom there will be comfort in that day, rather than for that city. ¹³ Woe to thee, Chorazin; woe to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon there had been the mighty deeds, that were in you, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. ¹⁴ But for Tyre and Sidon there will be comfort in the day of judgment, rather than for you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁰ And the times of this error God hath made to pass away; and at the present time, he commandeth all men, that each individual, in every place, should repent.

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

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

²⁵ that with mildness he may enlighten those who dispute against him, if perhaps God may give them repentance, and they may acknowledge the truth, ²⁶ and may recollect themselves, and may escape out of the snare of Satan, at whose pleasure they have been held ensnared.

¹ Therefore let us leave the commencement of the word of the Messiah, and let us proceed to the completion. Or will ye again lay another foundation for the repentance which is from dead works, and for the faith in God,

¹⁶ Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Messiah. ¹⁷ All the generations, therefore, are, from Abraham to David fourteen generations, and from David to the captivity of Babylon fourteen generations, and from the captivity of Babylon to the Messiah fourteen generations. ¹⁸ And the birth of Jesus the Messiah was thus. While his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they had cohabited, she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

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;

²⁹ And Jesus departed from there, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee: and he ascended a mountain, and sat there.

¹⁸ Also I say to thee, that thou art Cephas: and upon this rock, I will build my church: and the gates of death shall not triumph over it.

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

³¹ Again Jesus departed from the border of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, to the border of Decapolis.

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, ² and he saw two ships standing near the sea, and the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. ³ And one of them belonged to Simon Cephas: and Jesus entered and sat in it. And he told them to draw off a little from the shore, into the sea: and he seated himself, and taught the multitude from the ship. ⁴ And when he ceased from speaking, he said to Simon: Launch out into the deep, and cast your net for a draught. ⁵ Simon answered, and said to him: Rabbi, all the night we have toiled, and have caught nothing: but, at thy bidding, I will cast the net. ⁶ And when they had done so, they inclosed very many fishes, so that the net was rent. ⁷ And they made signs to their associates, in the other ship, to come and help them. And when they came, they filled both the ships, so that they were near to sinking. ⁸ And when Simon Cephas saw it, he fell before the feet of Jesus, and said to him: I beseech thee, my Lord, that thou leave me, for I am a sinful man. ⁹ For astonishment had seized him, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes which they had caught: ¹⁰ and in like manner also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. But Jesus said: Fear thou not; henceforth thou shalt catch men unto life. ¹¹ And they brought the vessels to the land: and they left all and followed him.

¹⁴ Simon whom he named Cephas, and Andrew his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

⁴⁰ And one of those who heard John and went after Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon. ⁴¹ He first saw Simon his brother, and said to him: We have found the Messiah. 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.

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

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Cephas, said to him:

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

²⁷ But God hath chosen the foolish ones of the world, to shame the wise; and he hath chosen the feeble ones of the world, to shame the mighty; ²⁸ and he hath chosen those of humble birth in the world, and the despised, and them who are nothing, to bring to naught them who are something: ²⁹ so that no flesh might, glory before him.

²² But Jesus said to him: Follow thou me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.

⁹ And as Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man sitting at the custom-house, whose name was Matthew. And he said to him, Follow me: and he arose and followed him.

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

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

¹⁷ And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. ¹⁸ And immediately they left their nets, and went after him.

¹⁴ And as he passed along he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting among the publicans. And he said to him: Come after me. And he arose and went after him.

²⁷ And after these things, Jesus went out and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting among the publicans; and he said to him: Come after me.

⁵⁹ And he said to another: Come thou after me. And he said to him: My Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.

⁴³ The next day, Jesus was disposed to depart for Galilee: and he found Philip and said to him, Come after me.

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

²² Jesus said to him: If I will, that he abide here until I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.

²⁰ and with the Jews, I was as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; and with those under the law, I was as under the law, that I might gain them who are under the law; ²¹ and to those who have not the law, I was as without the law, (although I am not without law to God, but under the law of the Messiah,) that I might gain them that are without the law. ²² I was with the weak, as weak, that I might gain the weak: I was all things to all men, that I might vivify every one.

¹⁶ But perhaps, though I was not burdensome to you, yet, like a cunning man, I filched from you by craftiness!

³⁷ He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me:

²⁷ Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive?

²⁸ And Cephas began to say: Lo, we have left every thing, and have cleaved to thee. ²⁹ Jesus answered and said: Verily I say to you, There is no man that leaveth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, for my sake, and for the sake of my tidings, ³⁰ who will not receive a hundredfold, here in the present time, houses, and brothers and sisters, and mothers and children, and lands, with persecution; and in the world to come eternal life. ³¹ But many are first, who will be last; and last, who will be first.

²⁸ Simon Cephas said to him: Lo, we have left every thing, and come after thee. ²⁹ Jesus said to him: Verily I say to you: There is no man, who hath left houses, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, ³⁰ that shall not receive manifold in the present time, and, in the coming world, eternal life.

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;

¹ And after six days Jesus took Cephas, and James, and John his brother, and conducted them alone to a high mountain.

²⁰ Then came, to him the mother of Zebedee's children, she and her sons; and she worshipped him, and asked something from him. ²¹ And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.

³⁷ And he took Cephas and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be dejected and sorrowful.

¹⁷ And to James the son of Zebedee and to John the brother of James, he gave the name of Boanerges, that is, Sons of thunder.

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

² There were together, Simon Cephas, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of the disciples.

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

²⁰ And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him.

⁵⁹ And he said to another: Come thou after me. And he said to him: My Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father. ⁶⁰ And Jesus said to him: Allow the dead to bury their dead; and go thou and proclaim the kingdom of God.

²⁶ He that cometh to me, and hateth not his father and his mother, and his brothers and his sisters, and his wife and his children, and his own life also, cannot become a disciple to me.

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

¹⁶ And therefore, we know no person after the flesh: and if we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet henceforth we know him no more.

¹⁶ And when it was evening, they brought many demoniacs before him; and he expelled their demons by a word, and healed all them that were diseased: ¹⁷ that so might be fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, who said: He will bear our sorrows, and our infirmities he will take upon him.

³⁵ And Jesus traveled over all the cities and the villages: and he taught in their synagogues, and proclaimed the tidings of the kingdom, and healed all diseases and all pains.

⁷ And as ye go, proclaim and say: The kingdom of heaven hath approached. ⁸ Heal ye the sick; cleanse the leprous; raise the dead; and cast out demons. Freely ye have received; freely give.

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:

⁹ And Jesus went from there, and came to their synagogue.

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.

⁵⁴ And he entered into his own city. And he taught them in their synagogues, in such manner that they wondered, and said: Whence hath he this wisdom and these works of power?

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

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.

¹⁴ And this announcement of the kingdom shall be published in all the world, for a testimony to all nations: and then will come the consummation.

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.

³⁹ And he preached in all their synagogues, in all Galilee, and cast out demons.

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

² And when the sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many who heard him were astonished, and said: Whence hath he obtained these things? And, what wisdom is this, which is given to him! and that such mighty works are done by his hands!

⁶ And he wondered at the defect of their faith. And he travelled about the villages and taught.

¹⁵ And he taught in their synagogues, and was lauded by every one. ¹⁶ And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he went, as he was accustomed, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and rose up to read. ¹⁷ And there was delivered to him the book of Isaiah the prophet. And Jesus opened the book, and found the place where it is written: ¹⁸ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; and therefore he hath anointed me to proclaim tidings to the poor; and hath sent me to heal the contrite in heart, and to proclaim release to the captives, and sight to the blind; and to send away the contrite with forgiveness of their sins;

⁴⁰ And when the sun was set, all those that had sick persons, afflicted with divers diseases, brought them to him; and he laid his hand on every one of them, and healed them. ⁴¹ And demons went out of many, crying out and saying: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of God. And he rebuked them, and suffered them not to say, that they knew him to be Messiah.

⁴³ And Jesus said to them: It behooveth me to announce the kingdom of God to other cities also; for therefore was I sent. ⁴⁴ And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

¹⁷ And it occurred, on one of the days when Jesus was teaching, that Pharisees and Doctors of the law were sitting by, who had come from all the villages of Galilee and of Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

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;

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:

¹ And after these things Jesus travelled about the cities and the villages, and proclaimed and announced the kingdom of God. And with him were his twelve disciples,

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

⁹ And heal them that are sick in it; and say to them: The kingdom of God hath come near you.

¹⁰ And when Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, on the sabbath,

¹ And on one of those days, as he was teaching the people in the temple, and preaching, the chief priests and Scribes, with the Elders, came upon him,

¹ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to slay him.

²⁰ And Jesus said to him: I have discoursed openly with the people, and have at all times taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews assemble; and I have uttered nothing in private.

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.

¹³ And Ananias said: My Lord, I have heard of this man, from many, how much evil he hath perpetrated towards thy saints at Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And, lo, here also, he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all them that call on thy name. ¹⁵ The Lord said to him: Arise and go; for he is to me a chosen vessel, to carry my name to the Gentiles, and to kings, and among the sons of Israel. ¹⁶ For I will show him, how much he is to suffer on account of my name. ¹⁷ Then Ananias went to the house to him; and he laid his hand upon him, and said to him: Saul, my brother, our Lord Jesus, he who appeared to thee by the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thy eyes might be opened, and thou be filled with the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized. ¹⁹ And he took food, and was invigorated. And he was some days with the disciples of Damascus. ²⁰ And forthwith he announced Jesus, in the synagogues of the Jews, that he is the Son of God. ²¹ And all they that heard him were amazed; and they said: Is not this he, who persecuted all them that call on this name in Jerusalem? And lo, for this very thing also, was he sent hither, that he might bind and carry them to the chief priests. ²² But Saul was the more strengthened; and he confounded those Jews who dwelt at Damascus, while be demonstrated that this is the Messiah. ²³ And when he had been there many days, the Jews formed a conspiracy against him, to kill him. ²⁴ And the plot which they sought to execute upon him, was made known to Saul: and they watched the gates of the city by day and by night, in order to kill him. ²⁵ Then the disciples placed him in a basket, and let him down from the wall by night. ²⁶ And he went to Jerusalem; and he wished to join himself with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. ²⁷ But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the legates, and related to them how the Lord appeared to him in the way, and how he conversed with him; and how, in Damascus, he had discoursed openly in the name of Jesus. ²⁸ And he went in and out with them, at Jerusalem. ²⁹ And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus and disputed with those Jews who understood Greek. But they wished to kill him: ³⁰ and when the brethren knew it, they conducted him by night to Caesarea, and from there they sent him to Tarsus. ³¹ Moreover the church, in all Judaea, and in Galilee, and in Samaria, had peace and was edified; and it walked in the fear of God, and abounded in the consolation of the Holy Spirit. ³² And it occurred, that, as Simon travelled about the cities, he came down to the saints also who dwelt in the city of Lydda. ³³ And he found a certain man whose name was 'neas, who had lain on a bed and been paralytic eight years. ³⁴ And Simon said to him: 'neas, Jesus the Messiah doth heal thee; arise, and spread thy bed. And he rose up immediately. ³⁵ And all they that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him; and they turned to God. ³⁶ And there was in the city of Joppa, a certain female disciple named Tabitha; and she was rich in good works, and in the alms which she did. ³⁷ And she fell sick in those days, and died; and they washed her, and laid her in an upper room. ³⁸ And the disciples heard that Simon was in the city of Lydda, which is near to Joppa; and they sent two men to him, to request of him that he would not delay to come to them. ³⁹ And Simon arose and went with them. And when he arrived, they conducted him to the chamber; and there were assembled around her all the widows, weeping, and showing him the tunics and the cloaks which Tabitha had given them when alive. ⁴⁰ And Simon put all the people out, and fell on his knees and prayed; and he turned to the corpse and said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Simon, she sat up. ⁴¹ And he reached to her his hand, and raised her up: and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her to them alive. ⁴² And this became known throughout the city; and many believed on our Lord. ⁴³ And he tarried in Joppa not a few days: and he lodged in the house of Simon a tanner.

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.

⁴ And he spoke in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and Gentiles.

²⁵ And now, I know that ye will see my face no more, all of you among whom I have travelled and preached the kingdom of God.

¹⁵ Or, how shall they preach, if they are not sent forth? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of the heralds of peace, and of the heralds of good things?

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.

⁶ and said: My Lord, my child lieth at home an is paralytic, and badly afflicted.

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. ¹⁴ And Jesus came to the house of Simon and saw his wife's mother prostrate, confined by a fever. ¹⁵ And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose and ministered to them. ¹⁶ And when it was evening, they brought many demoniacs before him; and he expelled their demons by a word, and healed all them that were diseased:

²⁸ And when Jesus arrived at the farther shore, in the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demoniacs, who came out from the sepulchres, very furious, so that no one could pass that way.

² And they brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And Jesus saw their faith, and said to the paralytic: Take courage, my son; thy sins are forgiven thee. ³ And some of the Scribes said in their minds, This man blasphemeth. ⁴ But Jesus knew their thoughts: and he said to them, Why do ye think evil things in your heart? ⁵ For, which is the easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Arise and walk? ⁶ But that ye may know that the Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins, he said to the paralytic: Arise, take up thy bed, and go to thy home. ⁷ And he arose and went to his home. ⁸ And when the multitudes saw it, they were struck with awe; and they praised God, who had given authority like this to men.

²⁶ And the fame of this thing spread in all that land.

³¹ But they went out and spread the fame of it in all that land. ³² And as Jesus went out, they brought to him a dumb man in whom was a demon.

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

¹ And at that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus:

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.

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.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it departed from him: and from that hour the child was healed.

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

³² And in the evening at the setting of the sun, they brought to him all them that were diseased, and demoniacs.

³ And they came to him and brought to him a paralytic, borne between four persons.

² And as he went out of the ship, there met him from the place of sepulchres a man in whom was an unclean spirit. ³ And he dwelt in the place of sepulchres; and no one could confine him with chains: ⁴ because, as often as he had been confined with fetters and chains, he had broken the chains and burst the fetters: and no one could subdue him. ⁵ And continually, by night and by day, he was in the place of sepulchres, and cried and wounded himself with stones. ⁶ And when he saw Jesus at a distance, he ran and worshipped him; ⁷ and cried with a loud voice, and said: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the High God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. ⁸ For he had said to him: Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. ⁹ And he demanded of him: What is thy name? And he replied to him: Our name is Legion; for we are many. ¹⁰ And he besought him much, that he would not send him out of the country. ¹¹ And there was there by the mountain, a great herd of swine grazing. ¹² And the demons besought him, and said: Send us upon those swine, that we may enter them. ¹³ And he permitted them. And those unclean spirits went out, and entered the swine: and the herd, of about two thousand, ran to a precipice, and fell into the sea, and were strangled in the waters. ¹⁴ And they who tended them, fled and told it in the city and in the villages: and they came out to see what had occurred. ¹⁵ And: they came to Jesus, and saw him in whom the demons had been, him in whom had been the legion, clothed, and sober, and sitting; and they were afraid. ¹⁶ And those who had seen it told them how it occurred to him who had the demons, and also concerning the swine. ¹⁷ And they began to request him, that he would go from their border. ¹⁸ And as he ascended the ship, the late demoniac requested that he might continue with him.

² And this enrollment was first made under the presidency of Quirinus in Syria.

³³ And there was in the synagogue a man, in whom was an unclean demon: and he cried out, with a loud voice, ³⁴ and said: Let me alone: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarean? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God. ³⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, and said: Shut thy mouth; and come out of him. And the demon threw him down in the midst, and came out of him, having not harmed him at all.

¹⁵ And his fame spread abroad still more: and much people assembled to hear him, and to be cured of their diseases.

²⁷ And when he went out upon the land, there, met him a man of the city, in whom had been a demon for a long time; and he wore no clothing, and did not reside in a house, but among the tombs. ²⁸ And when he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said, with a loud voice: What have we to do with thee? Jesus, thou Son of the exalted God. I entreat of thee, torment me not. ²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit, to come out of the man: for, of a long time he had been held captive by him; and he had been bound with chains, and held in fetters; but he had burst the bonds, and had been driven by the demon into the desert. ³⁰ And Jesus demanded of him: What is thy name? And he said to him: Legion: because many demons had entered into him. ³¹ And they besought him, not to command them to depart into the abyss. ³² And there was a herd of many swine grazing on the mountain. And they besought him, that he would permit them to enter the swine. And he permitted them. ³³ And the demons went out of the man, and entered the swine; and the whole herd ran to a precipice, and plunged into the sea, and were strangled. ³⁴ And when the herdmen saw what had occurred, they fled, and told it in the cities and the villages. ³⁵ And the men went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the demons had gone, now clothed, and modest, and sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were awed. ³⁶ And they that saw it, related to them in what manner the demoniac was cured. ³⁷ And the whole throng of the Gadarenes requested him, that he would depart from them: for great fear had seized them. And Jesus embarked in a ship, and retired from among them.

²¹ But others said: These are not the discourses of a demoniac: can a demon open the eyes of one blind?

²³ And they wrote a letter by them, thus: The legates and Elders and brethren, to them that are in Antioch, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, brethren who are from the Gentiles, greeting:

⁴¹ And he travelled through Syria, and through Cilicia, and strengthened the churches.

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

¹ And as he descended from the mountain, great multitudes gathered around him.

¹⁵ But Jesus knew it; and he retired from there. And great multitudes followed him: and he cured them all.

² And great multitudes followed after him, and he healed them there.

⁷ And Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea. And many people joined him from Galilee, and from Judaea, ⁸ and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan, and from Tyre, and from Sidon: great multitudes, when they heard all that he did, came to him.

²⁰ And he went, and began to publish in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him. And they were all amazed.

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