Diatessaron - Part 2
9130 A disciple is not superior to his lord, nor a servant to his master. 10131 For it is enough then for the disciple that he be as his lord, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the people of his house! 11132 Fear them not therefore:159 for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; nor hid, that shall not be disclosed and published. 12134 What I say unto you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye have told secretly in the ears in closets, let it be proclaimed on the housetops. 13135 I say unto you now, my beloved, Be not agitated at160 those who kill the body, but have no power to kill the soul. I will inform you whom ye shall fear: 14137 him161 which is able to destroy soul and body in hell. 15139 Yea, I say unto you, Be afraid of him especially. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing in a bond?162 and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 16141 But what concerns you: even the hair of your heads also is numbered. 17142 Fear not therefore; ye are better than many sparrows. 18143 Every man who confesseth me now before men, I also will confess him before my Father which is in heaven; 19144 but whosoever denieth me before men, I also will deny him before my Father which is in heaven.
20145 Think ye that I am come to cast peace into the earth? I came not to cast peace, but to cast dissension. 21146 Henceforth there shall be five in one house, three of them disagreeing with two, and the two with the three. 22147 The father shall become hostile to his son, and the son to his father; and the mother to her daughter, and the daughter to her mother; and the mother in law to her daughter in law, and the daughter in law to her mother in law: 23148 and a man's enemies shall be the people of his house. 24149 Whosoever loveth father or mother better than me is not worthy of me; and whosoever loveth son or daughter more than his love of me is not worthy of me. 25150 And every one that doth not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 26151 Whosoever findeth his life163 shall lose it; and whosoever loseth his life164 for my sake shah find it.
27154 And whosoever receiveth you receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 28155 And whosoever receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall take165 a prophet's reward; and whosoever shall receive a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall take166 a righteous man's reward. 29158 And every one that shall give to drink to one of these least ones a drink of water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
30159 And when Jesus finished charging his twelve disciples, he removed thence to teach and preach in their cities. 31160 And while they were going in the way they entered into a certain village; and a woman named Martha entertained him in her house. 32161 And she had a sister named Mary, and she came and sat at the feet of our Lord, and heard his sayings. 33162 But Martha was disquieted by much serving; and she came and said unto him, My Lord, givest thou no heed that my sister left me alone to serve? speak to her that she help me. 34163 Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art solicitous and impatient167 on account of many things: but what is sought is one thing. 35165 But Mary hath chosen for herself a good portion, and that which shall not be taken from her.
36166 And the apostles went forth, and preached to the people that they might repent. 37167 And they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them. 38168 And the disciples of John told him168 of all these things. 39170 And when John heard in the prison of the doings of the Messiah, he called two of his disciples, and sent them to Jesus, and said, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 40171 And they came to Jesus, and said unto him, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, and said. 41172 Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? And in that hour he cured many of diseases, and of plagues of an evil spirit; and he gave sight to many blind. 42173 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John everything ye have seen and heard: the blind see, and the lame walk, and the lepers are cleansed, and the blind169 hear, and the dead rise, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 43175 And blessed is he who doubteth not in me.
44176 And when John's disciples departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed shaken with the winds? And if not, then what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? 45177 Behold, they that are in magnificent garments and in voluptuousness are in the abode of kings. 46178 And if not, then what went ye out to see? a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 47179 This is he of whom it is written,
I am sending my messenger before thy face
To prepare the way before thee.
1180 Verily I say unto you, There hath not arisen among those whom women have borne a greater than John the Baptist; but he that is little now in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
2181 And all the people which heard, and the publicans, justified170 God, for they had been baptized with the baptism of John. 3183 But the Pharisees and the scribes wronged171 the purpose of God in themselves, in that they were not baptized of him. 4185 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven is snatched away by violence. 5186 The law and the prophets were until John; and after that, the kingdom of God is preached, and all press to enter it: and they that exert themselves snatch it away. 6187 All the prophets and the law until John prophesied. 7188 And if ye will, then receive it, that he is Elijah, which is to come. 8189 Whosoever hath ears that hear let him hear. 9190 Easier is the perishing of heaven and earth, than the passing away of one point of the law. 10191 To whom then shall I liken the people of this generation,172 and to whom are they like? 11193 They are like the children sitting in the market, which call to their companions, and say, We sang to you, and ye danced not; we wailed to you, and ye wept not. 12194 John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye said, 13195 He hath demons: and the Son of man came eating and drinking; and ye said, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drinker of wine, and an associate of publicans and sinners! 14196 And wisdom was justified of all her children. 15197 And when he said that, they came to the house. And there gathered unto him again multitudes, so that they found not bread to eat. 16198 And while he was casting out a devil which was dumb, when he cast out that devil, that dumbman spake. And the multitudes marvelled. 17199 And the Pharisees, when they heard, said, Thisman doth not cast out the devils, except by Beelzebul the chief of the demons, which is in him. 18200 And others requested of him a sign from heaven, to tempt him. 19201 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them in parables, Every kingdom that withstandeth itself shall become desolate; and every house or city that disagreeth with itself shall not stand: 20202 and if a devil cast out a devil, he withstandeth himself; neither shall he be able to stand, but his end shall be. 21203 Then how now shall his kingdom stand? for ye said that I cast out devils by Beelzebul. 22204 And if I by Beelzebul cast out the devils, then your children, by what do they cast them out? And for this cause they shall be judges against you. 23205 But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then the kingdom of God is come near unto you. 24206 Or how can aman enter into the house of a valiant man, and seize his garments,173 if he do not beforehand secure himself174 from that valiant man? and then will he cut off175 his house. 25210 But when the valiant man is armed, guarding his house, his possessions are in peace. 26211 But if one come who is more valiant than he, he overcometh him, and taketh his whole armour, on which he relieth, and divideth his spoil. 27212 Whosoever is not with me is against me; and whosoever gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 28213 For this reason I say unto you, that all sins and blasphemies with which men blaspheme shall be forgiven them: 29214 but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, there is no forgiveness for him for ever, but he is deserving of eternal punishment: 30215 because they said that he had an unclean spirit. 31216 And he said also, Every one that speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Spirit, itshall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, nor in the world to come. 32217 Either ye must make a good tree176 and its fruit good; or ye must make an evil tree177 and its fruit evil: for the tree is known by its fruit. 33220 Ye children of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? from the overflowings of the heart the mouth speaketh. 34221 The good man from the good treasures which are in his heart bringeth forth good things; and the wicked man from the evil treasures which are in his heart bringeth forth evils. 35222 I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall speak, they shall give an answer for in the day of judgement: 36223 for by thy sayings thou shalt be justified, and by thy sayings thou shalt be judged.
37224 And he said to the multitudes, When ye see the clouds appear from the west, straightway ye say that there cometh rain; and so it cometh to pass. 38225 And when the south wind bloweth, ye say that there will be heat; and it cometh to pass. 39226 And when the evening is come, ye say, It will be fair weather, for the heaven has become red. 40227 And in the morning ye say, To-day there will be severe weather, for the redness of the heaven is paling. Ye hypocrites, ye know to examine the face of the heaven and the earth; but the signs of this time ye know not to discern. 41228 Then they brought to him one possessed of a demon, dumb and blind; and he healed him, so that the dumb and blind began to speak and see. 42229 And all the multitudes wondered, and said, Is this, think you, the son of David?
43230 And he said unto them, Come, let us go into the desert alone, and rest yea little. And many were going and returning, and they had not leisure, not even to eat bread.
45231 And after that, there came to him one of the Pharisees, and besought him that he would eat bread with him. And he entered into the house of that Pharisee, and reclined. 46232 And there was in that city a woman that was a sinner; and when she knew that he was sitting in the house of that Pharisee, she took a box of sweet ointment, and stood behind him, 47233 towards his feet, weeping, and began to wet his feet with her tears, and to wipe them with the hair of her head, and to kiss his feet, and anoint them with the sweet ointment. 48234 And when that178 Pharisee saw it, who invited him, he thought within himself, and said, This man, if he were a prophet, would know who she is and what is her history: for the woman which touched him was a sinner.
1236 Jesus answered and said unto him, Simon, I have something to say unto thee. And he said unto him, Say on, my Master. 2237 Jesus said unto him, There were two debtors to one creditor; and one of them owed five hundred pence, and the other owed fifty pence. 3238 And because they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. 4239 Which of them ought to love him more? Simon answered and said, I suppose, he to whom he forgave most. Jesus said unto him, Thou hast judged rightly. 5240 And he turned to that woman, and said to Simon, Dost thou see this woman? I entered into thy dwelling, and thou gavest me not water to wash my feet: but this woman hath bathed179 my feet with her tears, and dried them with her hair. 6242 And thou kissedst me not: but this woman, since she180 entered, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 7244 And thou anointedst not my head with oil: 8245 but this woman hath anointed my feet with sweet ointment.181 9247 And for this, I say unto thee, Her many sins are forgiven her, because she loved much; for he to whom little is forgiven loveth little. 10248 And he said unto that woman, Thy sins are forgiven thee. And those that were invited began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 11249 And Jesus said to that woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
12250 And many believed in him when they saw the signs which he was doing. 13251 But Jesus did not trust182 himself to them, 14253 for he knew every man, and he needed not any man to testify to him concerning every man; for he knew what was in man.
15254 And after that, Jesus set apart from his disciples other seventy, and sent them two and two before his face to every region and city whither he was purposing to go. 16255 And he said unto them, The harvest is abundant, and the labourers are few: 170 entreat now the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. Go ye: and lo, I am sending you as lambs among wolves. 181 Take not with you purses, nor a wallet, nor shoes; neither salute any man in the way. 192 And whatsoever house ye enter, first salute that house: 203 and if there be there a son of peace, let your peace rest upon him; but if there be not, your peace shall return to you. 214 And be ye in that house eating and drinking what they have:183 for the labourer is worthy of his hire. 226 And remove not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat what is presented to you: 237 and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come near unto you. 248 But whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go out into the market, and say, 259 Even the dust that clave to our feet from your city, we shake off against you; but know184 this,185 that the kingdom of God is come near unto you. 2612 I say unto you, that for Sodom there shall be quiet in the day of judgement, but there shall not be for that city. 2713 Then began Jesus to rebuke the cities in which there had been many mighty works,186 and they repented not. 2815 And he said, Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! if there had been in Tyre and Sidon the signs which were in thee, it may be that they would have repented in sackcloth and ashes. 2916 Howbeit I say unto you, that for Tyre and Sidon there shall be rest in the day of judgement, more than for you. 3017 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt sink down unto Hades; for if there had been in Sodom the wonders187 which were in thee, it would have remained until this day. 3119 And now I say unto thee, that for the land of Sodom there shall be quiet in the day of judgement, more than for thee.
3220 And he said again unto his apostles, Whosoever heareth you heareth me; and whosoever heareth me heareth him that sent me: and whosoever wrongeth188 you wrongeth me; and whosoever wrongeth me wrongeth him that sent me.
3322 And those seventy returned with great joy, and said unto him, Our Lord, even the devils also are subject unto us in thy name. 3423 He said unto them, I beheld Satan189 fallen like lightning from heaven. 3525 Behold, I am giving you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and the whole race190 of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you. 3627 Only ye must not rejoice that the devils are subject unto you; but be glad that your names are written in heaven.
3728 And in that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I acknowledge thee, my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto children: yea, my Father; so was thy will. 3829 And he turned to his disciples,191 and said unto them, Everything hath been delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, save the Father; and who the Father is, save the Son, and to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal him. 3931 Come unto me, all of you, ye that are wearied and bearers of burdens, and I will give you rest. 4032 Bear my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for192 I am gentle and lowly in my heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 4134 For my yoke is pleasant, and my burden is light.
4235 And while great multitudes were going with him, he turned, and said unto them, 4336 Whosoever cometh unto me, and hateth not his father, and his mother, and his brethren, and his sisters, and his wife, and his children, and himself193 also, cannot be a disciple to me. 4438 And whosoever doth not take his cross, and follow me, cannot be a disciple to me. 4539 Which of you desireth to build a tower, and doth not sit down first and reckon his expenses and whether he hath enough to complete it?194 lest when he hath laid the foundations, 4641 and is not able to finish, all that behold him195 laugh at him, and say, 4743 This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 4844 Or what king goeth to the battle to fight with another king,196 and doth not consider first whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh to him with twenty thousand? 4946 And if he is not able, he sendeth unto him while he is afar off, and seeketh peace. 5047 So shall197 every man of you consider, that desireth to be a disciple to me; for if he renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be a disciple to me.
149 Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees, that they might tempt him, and said, Teacher, we desire to see a sign from thee. 250 He answered and said, This evil and adulterous generation198 seeketh a sign; and it shall not be given a sign, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 352 And as Jonah was a sign to the inhabitants of Nineveh, so shall the Son of man also be to this generation. 453 And as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. 554 The queen of the south shall rise in the judgement with the people of this generation, and condemn199 them: for she came from the ends of the earth that she might hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, here is a better than Solomon. 656 The men of Nineveh shall stand in the judgement with this generation, and condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, here is a greater than Jonah. 757 The unclean spirit, when he goeth out of the man, departeth, and goeth about through places wherein are no waters, that he may find rest for himself; and when he findeth it not, he saith, I will return to my house whence I came out. 858 And if he come and find it adorned and set in order, 959 then he goeth, and associateth with himself seven other spirits worse than himself; and they enter and dwell in it: and the end of that man shall be worse than his beginning. 1060 Thus shall it be unto this evil generation.
1161 And while he was saying that, a woman from the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts that nursed thee. 1262 But he said unto her, Blessed is he that heareth the word of God, and keepeth it.
1363 And while he was speaking unto the multitude, there came unto him his mother and his brethren, 1464 and sought to speak with him; and they were not able, because of the multitude; and they stood without and sent, calling him unto them. 1565 A man said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren are standing without, and seek to speak with thee. 1666 But he answered unto him that spake unto him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 1767 And he beckoned with his hand, stretching it out towards his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother! and behold, my brethren! 1868 And every man that shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven is my brother, and my sister, and my mother.
1969 And after that, Jesus was going about in the cities and in the villages, and proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God, and his200 twelve with him, and the women which had been healed of diseases and of evil spirits, 2071 Mary that was called Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven devils, 2172 and Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them of their substance.
2273 And after that, Jesus went out of the house, and sat on the sea shore. And there gathered unto him great multitudes. 2374 And when the press of the people was great upon him, he went up and sat in the boat; and all the multitude was standing on the shore of the sea. 2475 And he spake to them much in parables, and said, The sower went forth to sow: and when he sowed, 2576 some fell on the beaten highway; and it was trodden upon, and the birds ate it. 2677 And other fell on the rocks: and some, where there was not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no depth in the earth: 2778 and when the sun rose, it withered; and because it had no root, it dried up. 2879 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it; and it yielded no fruit. 2980 And other fell into excellent and good201 ground; and it came up, and grew, and brought forth fruit, some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundred. 3082 And when he said that, he cried, He that hath ears that hear, let him hear. 3183 And when they were alone, his disciples came, and asked him, and said unto him, 3284 What is this parable? and why spakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Unto you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God; but it is not given unto them that are without. 3385 He that hath shall be given unto, and there shall be added; and he that hath not, that which he hath shall be taken from him also. 3486 For this cause therefore I speak unto them in parables; because they see, and see not; and hear, and hear not, nor understand. 3587 And in them is being fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, who said,
Hearing they shall hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing they shall see, and shall not perceive:
3688 The heart of this people is waxed gross,
And their hearing with their ears is become heavy,
And they have closed their eyes;
Lest they should see with their eyes,
And hear with their ears,
And understand with their hearts,
And should return,
And I should heal them.
3789 But ye, blessed are your eyes, which see; and your ears, which hear. 3890 Blessed are the eyes which see what ye see. 3991 Verily I say unto you, Many of the prophets and the righteous longed to see what ye see, and saw not; and to hear what ye hear, and heard not. 4092 When ye know not this parable, how shall ye know all parables? 4193 Hear ye the parable of the sower. 4294 The sower which sowed, sowed the word of God. 4395 Every one who heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, the evil one cometh and snatcheth away the word that hath been sown in his heart: and this is that which was sown on the middle of the highway. 4496 But that which was sown on the rocks is he that heareth the word, and straightway receiveth it with joy; only, 4597 it hath no root in his soul, but his belief in it is for a time; 4698 and whenever there is distress or persecution because of a202 word, he stumbleth203 quickly. 47101 And that which was sown among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the error of riches, and the rest of the other lusts enter, and choke the word, and it becometh without fruit. 48102 And that which was sown in good ground is he that heareth my word in a pure and good heart, and understandeth it, and holdeth to it, and bringeth forth fruit with patience, and produceth either a hundredfold or sixtyfold or thirty.
49103 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, like a man who casteth seed into the earth, and sleepeth and riseth by night and day, 50104 and the seed groweth and cometh up, whence204 he knoweth not. 51106 And the earth bringeth it to the fruit; and first it will be blade, and after it ear, and at last perfect wheat in the ear: 52107 and whenever the fruit ripeneth,205 he bringeth immediately the sickle, for the harvest hath come.
1109 And he set forth to them another parable, and said, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; 2110 but when men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went away. 3111 And when the blade sprang up and brought forth fruit, there were noticed the tares also. 4112 And the servants of the master of the house came, and said unto him, Our lord, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? whence are there tares in it? 5113He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. His servants said unto him, Wilt thou that we go and separate it? 6114 He said unto them, Perhaps,206 when ye separate the tares, ye would root up with them wheat also. 7116 Leave them to grow both together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say unto the reapers, Separate the tares first, and bind them in bundles to be burned with fire; and gather the wheat into my barns.
8117 And he set forth to them another parable, and said, 9118 To what is the kingdom of God like? and to what shall I liken it? 10119 and in what parable shall I set it forth? 11120 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and planted in his field: and of the number of the things that are sown in the earth it is smaller than all of the things which are sown, which are upon the earth; 12121 but when it is grown, it is greater than all the herbs, and produceth large branches, so that the birds of heaven make their nests in its branches.
13122 And he set forth to them another parable: 14123 To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 15124 It is like the leaven which a woman took, and kneaded into three measures of flour, until the whole of it was leavened.
16125 And Jesus spake all that to the multitudes by way of parables, according as they were able to hear. 17126 And without parables spake he not unto them; that the saying of the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled:
I will open my mouth in parables;
And I will utter secrets which were before the foundations207 of the world.
18128 But he explained to his disciples privately everything.
19129 Then Jesus left208 the multitudes, and came to the house. And his disciples came unto him, and said unto him, Explain unto us that parable about the tares and the field. 20131 He answered and said unto them, He that sowed good seed is the Son of man; 21132 and the field is the world; and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; 22133 and the tares are the children of the evil one; and the enemy that sowed them209 is Satan; and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 23135 And as the tares are separated and burned in the fire, so shall it be in the end of this world. 24136 The Son of man shall send his angels, and separate from his kingdom all things that injure, 25137 and all the doers of iniquity, and they shall cast them into the furnace of fire: and there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 26138 Then the righteous shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whosoever hath ears that hear, let him hear.
27139 And again the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hid in a field: that which a man found and hid; and, for his pleasure in it, went and sold all that he had, and bought that field.
28140 And again the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a merchant seeking excellent pearls; 29141 and when he found one pearl of great price, he went and sold everything that he had, and bought it.
30142 And again the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast210 into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 31144 and when it was filled, they drew it up on to the shore of the sea, and sat down to select; and the good of them they threw into the vessels, and the bad they threw outside. 32145 Thus shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall go forth, 33146 and separate the wicked from among the good, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
34147 Jesus said unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They said unto him, Yea, our Lord. 35148 He said unto them, Therefore every scribe that becometh a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a man that is a householder, who bringeth out of his treasures the new and the old.
36149 And when Jesus had finished all these parables, he removed thence, and came to his city; 37150and he taught them in their synagogues, so that they were perplexed. 38151 And when the sabbath came, Jesus began to teach in the synagogue; and many of those that heard marvelled, and said, Whence came these things to this man? 39152 And many envied him and gave no heed to him, but said, What is this wisdom that is given to this man, that there should happen at his hands such as these mighty works?211 40154 Is not this a carpenter, son of a carpenter? and is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 41155 And his sisters, all of them, lo, are they not all with us? 42156 Whence hath this man all these things? And they were in doubt concerning him. And Jesus knew their opinion, and said unto them, Will ye haply"212 say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal first thyself: and all that we have heard that thou didst in Capernaum, do here also in thine own city? 43158 And he said, Verily I say unto you, A prophet is not received in his own city, nor among his brethren: 44159 for a prophet is not despised, save in his own city, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 45160 Verily I say unto you, In the days of Elijah the prophet, there were many widows among the children of Israel, when the heaven held back three years and six months, 46161 and there was a great famine in all the land; and Elijah was not sent to one of them, save to Zarephath of Sidon, to a woman that was a widow. 47162 And many lepers were among the children of Israel in the days of Elisha the prophet; but not one of them was cleansed, save Naaman the Nabathaean.213 48164 And he was not able to do there many mighty works,214 because of their unbelief; except that he laid his hand upon a few of the sick, and healed them. 49166 And he marvelled at their lack of faith. 50167 And when those who were in the synagogue heard, they were all filled with wrath; and they rose up, 51168 and brought him forth outside the city, and brought him to the brow of the hill upon which their city was built, that they might cast him from its summit: 52169 but he passed through among them and went away.
53170 And he went about in the villages which were around Nazareth, and taught in their synagogues.
1171 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, and all the things which came to pass at his hand; and he marvelled, for he had obtained excellent information concerning him.215 2173 And some men said that John the Baptist was risen from among the dead; 3174 and216 others said that Elijah had appeared; and others, Jeremiah; and others, that a prophet of the old prophets was risen; 4176and others said that he was a prophet like one of the prophets. 5177 Herod said to his servants, This is John the Baptist, he whom I beheaded; he is risen from among the dead: therefore mighty works result from him. 6178 For Herod himself had sent and taken John, and cast him into prison, for the sake of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken. 7179 And John said to Herod, Thou hast no authority to take the wife of thy brother. 8180 And Herodias avoided him and wished to kill him; and she could not. 9181 But Herod feared John, for he knew that he was a righteous man and a holy; and he guarded him, and heard him much, and did, and obeyed him with gladness. 10182 And he wished to kill him; but he feared the people, for they adhered to him as the prophet. 11183 And there was a celebrated day, and Herod had made a feast for his great men on the day of his anniversary,217 and for the officers and for the chief men of Galilee. 12185 And the daughter of Herodias came in and danced in the midst of the company, and pleased Herod and those that sat with him. And the king said to the damsel, Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 13186 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask, I will give it thee, to the half of my kingdom. 14187 And she went out, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask him?218 She said unto her, The head of John the Baptist. 15189 And immediately she came in hastily to the king, and said unto him, I desire in this hour that thou give me on a dish the head of John the Baptist. 16190 And the king was exceeding sorry; but because of the oath and the guests he did not wish to refuse her. 17191 But immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded that he should bring the head of John: and he went and cut off the head of John in the prison, 18192 and brought it on a dish, and delivered it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother. 19193 And his disciples heard, and came and took his body, and buffed it. And they came and told219 Jesus what had happened. 20195 And for this cause Herod said, I beheaded John: who is this, of whom I hear these things. And he desired to see him. 21196 And Jesus, when he heard, removed thence in a boat to a waste place alone, to the other side of the sea of the Galilee of Tiberias.220
22198 And many saw them going, and knew them, and hastened by land221 from all the cities, and came thither beforehand; for they saw the signs which he was doing on the sick. 23200 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and sat there with his disciples. 24201 And the feast of the passover of the Jews was near. 25202 And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw great multitudes coming to him. And he was moved with compassion for them, for they were like sheep that were without a shepherd. 26203 And he received them, and spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 27204 And when the evening approached,222 his disciples came to him, and said unto him, 28206 The place is desert, and the time is past; send away the multitudes of the people,223 that they may go to the towns and villages which are around us, and buy for themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. 29208 But he said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them what may be eaten. 30209 They said unto him, We have not here enough. He said unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? 31210 And he said that proving him; and he knew what he was resolved to do. 32211 Philip said unto him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread would not suffice them after224 every one of them hath taken a small amount. 33213 One of his disciples said unto him (namely, Andrew the brother of Simon Cephas), 34214 Here is a lad having five loaves of barley and two fishes: 35215 but this amount, what is it for all these? But wilt thou that we go and buy for all the people what may be eaten? for we have no more than these five loaves and the two fishes. 36216 And the grass was plentiful in that place. Jesus said unto them, Arrange all the people that they may sit down on the grass, fifty people in a company. 37217 And the disciples did so. And all the people sat down by companies, by hundreds and fifties. 38218 Then Jesus said unto them, Bring hither those five loaves and the two fishes. 39219 And when they brought him that, Jesus took the bread and the fish, and looked to heaven, and blessed, and divided, and gave to his disciples to set before them; 40220 and the disciples set for the multitudes the bread and the fish; and they ate, all of them, and were satisfied. 41221 And when they were satisfied, he said unto his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain over, that nothing be lost. 42222 And they gathered, and filled twelve baskets with fragments, being those that remained over from those which ate of the five barley loaves and the two fishes. 43223 And those people who ate were five thousand, besides the women and children. 44224 And straightway he pressed his disciples to go up into the ship, and that they should go before him unto the other side to Bethsaida, while he himself should send away the multitudes. 45225 And those people who saw the sign which Jesus did, said, Of a truth this is a prophet who hath come into the world. 46226 And Jesus knew their purpose to come and take him, and make him a king; and he left them, and went up into the mountain alone for prayer.
47227 And when the nightfall was near, his disciples went down unto the sea, and sat225 in a boat, and came to the side of Capernaum. 48229 And the darkness came on, and Jesus had not come to them. 49230 And the sea was stirred up against them by reason of a violent wind that blew. 50231 And the boat was distant from the land many furlongs, and they were much damaged by the waves, and the wind was against them.
1232 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus came unto them, walking upon the 2233 water, after they had rowed226 with difficulty about twenty-five or thirty furlongs. 3235 And when he drew near unto their boat, his disciples saw him walking on the water; 4236 and they were troubled, and supposed that it was a false appearance; and they cried out from their fear. 5237 But Jesus straightway spoke unto them, and said, Take courage, for it is I; fear not. 6238 Then Cephas answered and said unto him, My Lord, if it be thou, bid me to come unto thee on the water. 7239 And Jesus said unto him, Come. And Cephas went down out of the boat, and walked on the water to come unto Jesus. But when he saw the wind strong, he feared, and was on the point of sinking; and he lifted up his voice, and said, My Lord, save me. 8240 And immediately our Lord stretched out his hand and took hold of him, and said unto him, Thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt? 9241 And when Jesus came near, he went up unto them into the boat, he and Simon, and immediately the wind ceased. 10242 And those that were in the ship came and worshipped him, and said, Truly thou art the Son of God. 11243 And straightway that ship arrived at the land which they made for. 12244 And when they came out of the ship to the land, they marvelled greatly and were perplexed in themselves: 13245 and they had not understood by means of227 that bread, because their heart was gross.
14247 And when the people of that region knew of the arrival of Jesus, they made haste in all that land, and began to bring those that were diseased,228 borne in their beds to the place where they heard that he was. 15249 And wheresoever the place might be which he entered, of the villages or the cities, they laid the sick in the markets, and sought of him that they might touch229 were it only the edge of his garment: and all that touched230 him were healed and lived.231
16253 And on the day after that, the multitude which was standing on the shore of the sea saw that there was there no other ship save that into which the disciples had gone up, 17254 and that Jesus went not up into the ship with his disciples (but there were other ships from Tiberias near232 the place where they ate the bread when Jesus blessed it): 180 and when that multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor yet his disciples, they went up into those ships, and came to Capernaum, and sought Jesus. 191 And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Our Master, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered and said unto them, 202 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye have not sought me because of233 your seeing the signs, but because of your eating the bread and being satisfied. 214 Serve not the food which perisheth, but the food which abideth in eternal life,234 which the Son of man will give unto you: him235 hath God the Father sealed. 227 They said unto him, What shall we do that we may work the work of God? 238 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe in him whom he hath sent. 249 They said unto him, What sign hast thou done, that we may see, and believe in thee? what hast thou wrought? 2510 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it was written, Bread from heaven gave he them to eat. 2611 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not bread from heaven; but my Father gave236 you the bread of truth237 from heaven. 2714 The bread of God is that which came down from heaven and gave the world life. 2815 They said unto him, Our Lord, give us at all times this bread. 2916 Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: whosoever cometh unto me shall not hunger, and whosoever believeth in me shall not thirst for ever. 3017 But I said unto you, Ye have seen me, and have not believed. 3118 And all that my Father hath given to me cometh unto me; and whosoever cometh unto me I shall not cast him forth without. 3219 I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of him that sent me; 3320 and this is the will of him that sent me, that I should lose nothing of that which he gave me, but raise it up in the last day. 3421 This is the will of my Father, that every one that seeth the Son, and believeth in him, should have eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day.
3522 The Jews therefore murmured against him because of his saying, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 3623 And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? then how saith this man, I came down from heaven? 3724 Jesus answered and said unto them, Murmur not one with another. 3825 No man is able to come unto me, except the Father which sent me draw him; and I will raise him up in the last day. 3926 It is written in the prophet, They shall all be the taught of God. Every one who heareth from the Father now,238 and learneth of him, cometh unto me. 4028 No man now seeth the Father; but he that is from God, he it is that seeth the Father. 4129 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever believeth in me hath eternal life. 4230 I am the bread of life. 4331 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 4432 This is the bread which came down from heaven, that a man may eat of it, and not die. 4533 I am the bread of life which came down from heaven: and if a man eat of this bread he shall live for ever: and the bread which I shall give is my body, which I give for the life of the world.
4634 The Jews therefore quarrelled one with another, and said, How can he give us his body that we may eat it? 4735 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye do not eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye shall not have life in yourselves. 4836 Whosoever eateth of my body and drinketh of my blood hath eternal life; and I will raise him up in the last day. 4937 My body truly is meat,239 and my blood truly is drink.240 5040 Whosoever eateth my body and drinketh my blood abideth in me, and I in him-5141 as the living Father sent me, and I am alive because of the Father; and whosoever eateth me, he also shall live because of me. 5242 This is the bread which came down from heaven: and not according as your fathers ate the manna, and died: whosoever eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 5343 This he said in the synagogue, when he was teaching in Capernaum. 5444 And many of his disciples, when they heard, said, This word is hard; who is he that can hear it?
145 And Jesus knew within himself that his disciples were murmuring because of a that, and he said unto them, Doth this trouble you? 246 What if ye should see the Son of man then ascend to the place where he was of old? 347 It is the spirit that quickeneth, and the body profiteth nothing: the words241 that I speak unto you are spirit and life. 449 But there are some of you that do not believe. And Jesus knew beforehand who they were who should242 not believe, and who it was that should betray him. 551 And he said unto them, Therefore I said unto you, No man can come unto me, if that hath not been given him by the Father.
652 And because of this word many of his disciples turned back and walked not with him. 753 And Jesus said unto the twelve, Do ye haply also wish to go away? 854 Simon Cephas answered and said, My Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 955 And we have believed and known that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. 1056 Jesus said unto them, Did not I choose you, ye company of the twelve, and of you one is a devil? 1157 He said that because of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot; for he, being of the twelve, was purposed to243 betray him.
1259 And while he was speaking, one of the Pharisees came asking of him that he would eat with him: and he went in, and reclined to meat. 1360 And that Pharisee, when he saw it,244 marvelled that he had not first cleansed himself before his eating. 1462 Jesus said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees wash the outside of the cup and the dish, and ye think that ye are cleansed; but your inside is full of injustice and wickedness.
1563 Ye of little mind, did not he that made the outside make the inside? 1664 Now give what ye have245 in alms, and everything shall be clean unto you.
1766 And there came to him Pharisees and scribes, come from Jerusalem. 1867 And when they saw some of his disciples eating bread while they had not washed their hands, they found fault. 1968 For all of the Jews and the Pharisees, if they wash not their hands thoroughly, 2069 eat not; for they held246 to the ordinance247 of the elders. And they ate not what was bought from the market, except they washed it; and many other things did they keep of what they had received, such as the washing of cups, and measures, and vessels of brass, and couches. 2172 And scribes248 and Pharisees asked him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the ordinances of the elders, but eat bread without washing their hands? 2274 Jesus answered and said unto them, Why do ye also overstep the command of God by reason of your ordinance? 2375 God said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whosoever revileth his father and his mother shall surely die. 2476 But ye say, If a man say to his father or to his mother, What thou receivest249 from me is an offering,-2578 and ye250 suffer him not to do anything for his father or his mother; 2680 and ye251 make void and reject the word of God by reason of the ordinance that ye have ordained and commanded, such as the washing of cups and measures, and what resembles that ye do much. 2782 And ye forsook the command of God, and held to the ordinance of men. 2883 Do252 ye well to wrong253 the command of God in order that ye may establish your ordinance? 2986 Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah the prophet prophesy concerning you, and say,
In that they teach the commands of men.
3290 And Jesus called all the multitude, and said unto them. Hear me, all of you, and understand: 3391 nothing without the man, which then enters him, is able to defile him; but what goeth out of him, that it is which defileth the man. 3492 He that hath ears that hear, let him hear. 3593 Then his disciples drew near, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees which heard this word were angry? 3694 He answered and said unto them, Every plant which my Father which is in heaven planted not shall be uprooted. 3795 Let them alone; for they are blind leading blind. And if the blind lead255 the blind, both of them shall fall into a hollow.
3897 And when Jesus entered the house from the multitude, Simon Cephas asked him, and said unto him, My Lord, explain to us that parable. 3998 He said unto them, Do ye also thus not understand? Know ye not that everything that entereth into the man from without cannot defile him; 4099 because it entereth not into his heart; it entereth into his stomach only, and thence is cast forth in the cleansing which maketh clean all the food?256 41101 The thing which goeth forth from the mouth of the man proceedeth from his heart, and it is that which defileth the man. 42102 From within257 the heart of men proceed evil thoughts, 43104 fornication, adultery, theft, false witness, murder, injustice, wickedness, deceit, stupidity, evil eye, calumny, pride, foolishness: 44105 these evils all of them from within proceed from the heart, and they are the things which defile the man: 45106 but if a man eat while he washeth not his hands, he is not defiled.
46107 And Jesus went out thence, and came to the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a certain house, and desired that no man should know it;258 and he could not be hid. 47109 But straightway a Canaanitish woman, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him. 48110 And that woman was a Gentile of Emesa of Syria. 49111 And she came out after him, crying out, and saying, Have mercy upon me, my Lord, thou son of David; for my daughter is seized in an evil way by Satan.259 50113 And he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, and said, Send her away: for she crieth after us. 51114 He answered and said unto them, I was not sent except to the sheep that are gone astray of the house of Israel. 52115 But she came and worshipped him, and said, My Lord, help me, have mercy upon me.
53116 Jesus said unto her, It is not seemly that the children's bread should be taken and thrown to the dogs. But she said, 54117 Yea, my Lord: the dogs also eat of the crumbs that fall from their masters' tables, and live. 55118 Then said Jesus unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: it shall be unto thee as thou hast desired. 56119 Go then thy way; and because of this word, the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 57120 And her daughter was healed in that hour. 58121 And that woman went away to her house, and found her daughter laid upon the bed, and the devil gone out of her.
1122 And Jesus went out again from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the sea of Galilee, towards the borders of Decapolis. 2123 And they brought unto him one dumb and deaf, and entreated him that he would lay his hand upon him and heal him. 3124 And he drew him away from the multitude, and went away alone, and spat upon his fingers, and thrust them into his ears, and touched his tongue; 4125 and looked to heaven, and sighed, and said unto him, Be opened. 5126 And in that hour his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spake with ease. 6127 And Jesus charged them much that they should not tell this to any man: but the more he charged them, the more they increased in publishing, and marvelled much, and said, 7128 This man doeth everything well: he made the deaf to hear, and those that lacked speech to speak.
8129 And while he was passing through the land of Samaria, he came to one of the cities of the Samaritans, called Sychar, 9130 beside the field which Jacob gave to Joseph to his son. 10131 And there was there a spring of water of Jacob's. And Jesus was fatigued from the exertion of the way, and sat at the spring. And the time was about the sixth hour.260 11133 And a woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said unto her, Give me water, that I may drink. 12134 And Iris disciples had entered into the city to buy for themselves food. 13135 And that Samaritan woman said unto him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask me to give thee to drink, while I am a Samaritan woman? 14136 (And the Jews mingle not with the Samaritans.261 ) Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who this is that said unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest ask him, and he would give thee the water of life. 15138 That woman said unto him, My Lord, thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: from whence hast thou the water of life? 16139 Can it be that thou art greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it, and his children, and his sheep? 17140 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 18141 but whosoever drinketh of the water which I shall give him shall not thirst for ever: but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing up unto eternal life. 19142 That woman said unto him, My Lord, give me of this water, that I may not thirst again, neither come and draw water from here. 20143 Jesus said unto her, Go and call thy husband, and come hither. 21144 She said unto him, I have no husband. 22145 Jesus said unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: five husbands hast thou had, and this man whom thou hast now is not thy husband; and in this thou saidst truly. 23146 That woman said unto him, My Lord, I perceive thee to be a prophet. 24147 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place in which worship must be. 25148 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, an hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. 26149 Ye worship that which ye know not: but we worship that which we know: for salvation is of the Jews. 27150 But an hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: and the Father also seeketh such as these worshippers. 28151 For God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 29152 That woman said unto him, I know that the Messiah cometh: 30153 and when he is come, he will teach us everything. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
31154 And while he was speaking, his disciples came; and they wondered how he would speak262 with a woman; but not one of them said unto him, What seekest thou? or, 32156 What263 speakest thou with her? And the woman left her waterpot, and went to the city, and said to the people, 33158 Come, and see a man who told me all that ever I did: perhaps then he is the Messiah. 34159 And people went out from the city, and came to him. 35160 And in the mean while his disciples besought him, and said unto him, Our master, eat. 36161 And he said unto them, I have food to eat that ye know not. 37162 And the disciples said amongst themselves, Can any one have brought him aught to eat?264 38164 Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. 39165 Said ye not that after four months cometh the harvest? behold, I therefore say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the lands, that they have become white, and the harvest is already come.265 40167 And he that reapeth receiveth his wages, and gathereth the fruit of eternal life;266 and the sower and the reaper rejoice together. 41169 For in this is found the word of truth, One soweth, and another reapeth. 42170 And I sent you to reap that in which ye have not laboured: others laboured, and ye have entered on their labour.
43171 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the words of that woman, who testified and said, He told me all that ever I did. 44172 And when those Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them; and he abode with them two days. 45173 And many believed in him because of his word; 46174 and they said to that woman, Now not because of thy saying have we believed in him: we have heard and known that this truly is the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.
47175 And after two days Jesus went out thence and departed to Galilee. 48176 And Jesus testified that a prophet is not honoured in his own city. 49177 And when he came to Galilee, the Galilaeans received him.
1178 And when Jesus came to a certain village, there drew near to him a leper, and fell at his feet, and besought him, and said unto him, If thou wilt, thou art able to cleanse me. 2179 And Jesus had mercy upon him, and stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and said, I will cleanse267 thee. 3181 And immediately his leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 4182 And he sternly charged him, and sent him out, and said unto him, 5183 See that thou tell not any man: but go and shew thy- self to the priests, and offer an offering for thy cleansing as Moses commanded for their testimony. 6184 But he, when he went out, began to publish much, and spread abroad the news, so that Jesus could not enter into any of the cities openly, for the extent to which the report of him spread, but he remained without in a desert place. 7185 And much people came unto him from one place and another,268 to hear his word, and that they might be healed of their pains. 8187 And he used to withdraw from them into the desert, and pray.
9188 And after that, was the feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
10189 And there was in Jerusalem a place prepared for bathing,269 which was called in Hebrew the House of Mercy, having five porches. 11191 And there were laid in them much people of the sick, and blind, and lame, and paralysed, waiting for the moving of the water. 12192 And the angel from time to time went down into the place of bathing,270 and moved the water; and the first that went down after the moving of the water, every pain that he had was healed. 13194 And a man was there who had a disease for thirty-eight years. 14195 And Jesus saw this man laid, and knew271 that he had been thus a long time; and he said unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole? 15197 That diseased one answered and said, Yea, my Lord, I have no man, when the water moveth, to put me into the bathing-place; but when I come, another goeth down before me. 16198 Jesus said unto him, Rise, take thy bed, and walk. 17199 And immediately that man was healed; and he rose, and carried his bed, and walked.
18200 And that day was a sabbath. And when the Jews saw that healed one, they272 said unto him, It is a sabbath: thou hast no authority to carry thy bed. 19202 And he answered and said unto them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take thy bed, and walk. 20203 They asked him therefore, Who is this man that said unto thee, Take thy bed, and walk? 21204 But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had removed from that place to another, because of the press of the great multitude which was in that place. 22205 And after two days Jesus happened upon him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art whole: sin not again, lest there come upon thee what is worse than the first. 23206 And that man went, and said to the Jews that it was Jesus that had healed him. 24207 And because of that the Jews persecuted Jesus and sought to kill him, because he was doing this on the sabbath. 25208 And Jesus said unto them, My Father worketh until now, and I also work. 26209 And because of this especially the Jews sought to kill him, not because he profaned the sabbath only; but for his saying also that God was his Father, and his making himself equal with God. 27210 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son cannot do anything of himself, but what be seeth the Father do; what the Father doeth, that the Son also doeth like him. 28211 The Father loveth his Son, and everything that he doeth he sheweth him: and more than these works will he shew him, that ye may marvel. 29212 And as the Father raiseth the dead and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whomsoever he will. 30213 And the Father judgeth no man, but hath given all judgement unto the Son; that every man may honour the Son, as he honoureth the Father. 31214 And he that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him. 32215 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath eternal. life, and cometh not into judgement, but passeth from death unto life. 33216 Verily, verily, I say unto you, An hour shall come, and now is also, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God; and those which hear shall live. 34217 And as the Father hath life in himself,273 likewise he gave to the Son also that he might have life in himself,274 35220 and authority to do judgement also, because275 he is the Son of man. 36222 Marvel not then at that: I mean the coming of the hour when all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice, and shall come forth: 37223 those that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those that have done evil deeds, to the resurrection of judgement.
38224 I am not able of myself to do anything; but as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39225 I276 bear witness of myself, and so a my witness is not true. 40227 It is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he beareth of me is true. 41228 Ye have sent unto John, and he hath borne witness of the truth. 42229 But not from man do I seek witness; but I say that ye may live.277 43231 That278 was a lamp which shineth and giveth light: and ye were pleased to glory now279 in his light. 44234 But I have witness greater than that of John: the works which my Father hath given me to accomplish, those works which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 45235 And the Father which sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his appearance. 46236 And his word abideth not in you; because in him whom he hath sent ye do not believe. 47237 Search the scriptures, in which ye rejoice280 that ye have eternal life; 48239 and they bear witness of me; and ye do not wish to come to me, that ye may have eternal life. 49240 I seek not praise of men. 50241 But I know you, that the love of God is not in you. 51242 I am come in the name of my Father, and ye received me not; but if another come in his own name, that one will ye receive. 52243 And how can ye believe, while ye receive praise one from another, and praise from God, the One, ye seek not? 53244Can it be that ye think that I will accuse you before the Father? Ye have one that accuseth you, Moses, in whom ye have rejoiced.281 54246 If ye believed Moses, ye would believe me also; Moses wrote of me. 55 And if ye believed not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
1247 And Jesus departed thence, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee, and went up into the mountain, and sat there. 2248 And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them lame, and blind, and dumb, and maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus: 3249 for they had seen all the signs which he did in Jerusalem, when they were gathered at the feast. 4250 And he healed them all. And those multitudes marvelled when they saw dumb men speak, and maimed men healed, and lame men walk, and blind men see; and they praised the God of Israel.
5251 And Jesus called his disciples, and said unto them, I have compassion on this multitude, because of their continuing with me three days, having nothing to eat; and to send them away fasting I am not willing, lest they faint in the way, some of them haying come from far. 6252 His disciples said unto him, Whence have we in the desert bread wherewith to satisfy all this multitude? 7253 Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? 8254 They said unto him, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground; 9255 and he took those seven loaves and the fish, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and the disciples set before the multitudes. 100 And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took that which remained over of the fragments, seven basketfuls. 111 And the people that ate were four thousand men, besides the women and children. 122 And when the multitudes departed, he went up into the boat, and came to the borders of Magada.282
134 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and began to seek a discussion with him. And they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven, tempting him. 145 And Jesus sighed within himself, and said, What sign seeketh this evil and adulterous generation? It seeketh a sign, and it shall not be given a sign, except the sign of Jonah the prophet. 156 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not be given a sign. 167 And he left283 them, and went up into the boat, and went away to that side.
179 And his disciples forgot to take with them bread, and there was not with them in the boat, not even284 one loaf. 1811 And Jesus charged them, and said, Take heed, and guard yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and from the leaven of Herod. 1912 And they reflected within themselves that they had taken with them no bread. 2013 And Jesus knew, and said unto them, Why285 think ye within yourselves, O ye of little faith, and are anxious, because ye have no bread? until now do ye not perceive, neither understand? is your heart yet hard? 2115 And have ye eyes, and yet see not? and have ye ears, and yet hear not? 2216 and do ye not remember when I brake those five loaves for five thousand? and how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye286 up? They said, Twelve. 2318 He said unto them, And the seven also for four thousand: how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye287 up? They said, Seven. 2420 He said unto them, How have ye not understood that I spake not to you because of288 the bread, but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 2522 Then they understood that he spake, not that they should beware of the leaven of the bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, which he called leaven.
2623 And after that, he came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a certain289 blind man, and besought him that he would touch him. 2725 And he took the hand of that blind man, and led him out without the village, and spat in his eyes, and laid his hand on him,290 and asked him, What seest thou? 2827 And that blind man looked intently, and said unto him, I see men as trees walking. 2928 And he placed his hand again on his eyes; and they were restored,291 and he saw everything clearly. 3030 And he sent him to his house, and said, Do not enter even into the village, nor tell any man in the village.
3131 And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. 3232 And while he was going in the way, and his disciples alone,292 he asked his disciples, and said, What do men say of me that I am, the Son of man?293 3335 They said unto him, Some say, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets. 3436 He said unto them, 3537 And ye, what say ye that I am? Simon Cephas answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. 3638 Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonah: flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 3739 And I say unto thee also, that thou art Cephas,294 and on this rock will I build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 3841 To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 3942 And he sternly charged his disciples, and warned them that they should not tell any man concerning him, that he was the Messiah. 4043 And henceforth began Jesus to shew to his disciples that he was determined295 to go to Jerusalem, 4145 and suffer much, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and of the scribes, and be killed, and on the third day rise. 4246 And he was speaking296 plainly. And Simon Cephas, as one grieved for him, said, Far be thou, my Lord, from that. 4348 And he turned, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Simon, and said, 4449 Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou art a stumblingblock unto me: for thou thinkest not of what pertains to God, but of what pertains to men.
4550 And Jesus called the multitudes with his disciples, and said unto them, Whosoever would come after me, let him deny himself, and take his cross every day, and come after me. 4651 And whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever loseth his life for my sake, and for the sake of my gospel, shall save it. 4752 What shall a man profit, if he gain all the world, 4853 and destroy297 his own life,298 or lose it? or what will a man give in ransom for his life?299 4957 Whosoever shall deny me and my sayings in this sinful and adulterous generation, the Son of man also will deny him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with his holy angels. 5058 For the Son of man is about to300 come in the glory of his Father with his holy angels; and then shall he reward each man according to his works.
160 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There be here now some standing that shall not taste death, until they see the kingdom of God come301 with strength, and the Son of man who cometh in his kingdom.
262 And after six days Jesus took Simon Cephas, and James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain, the three of them only. 363 And while they were praying, Jesus changed, and became after the fashion of another person; 464 and his face shone like the sun, and his raiment was very white like the snow, and as the light of lightning, so that nothing on earth can whiten302 like it. 566 And there appeared unto him Moses and Elijah talking to Jesus. 667 And they thought that the time of his decease which was to be accomplished at Jerusalem was come. 768 And Simon and those that were with him were heavy in the drowsiness of steep; and with effort they roused themselves, and saw his glory, and those two men that were standing with him. 869 And when they began to depart from him, Simon said unto Jesus, My Master, it is good for us to be here: 970 and if thou wilt, we will make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah; not knowing what he said, because of the fear which took possession of them. 1071 And while he was yet saying that, a bright cloud overshadowed them. 1172 And when they saw Moses and Elijah that they had entered into that cloud, they feared again. 1273 And a voice was heard out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son, whom I have chosen; hear ye therefore him. 1374 And when this voice was heard, Jesus was found alone. 1475 And the disciples, when they heard the voice, fell on their faces from the fear which took hold of them. 1576 And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, be not afraid. 1677 And they lifted up their eyes, and saw Jesus as he was.
1778 And when they went down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, and said unto them, Tell not what ye have seen to any man, until the Son of man rise from among the dead. 1879 And they kept the word within themselves, and told no man in those days what they had seen. 1980 And they reflected among themselves, What is this word which he spake unto us, I, when I am risen from among the dead? 2081 And his disciples asked him, and said, What is that which the scribes say, then, that Elijah must first come? 2182 He said unto them, Elijah cometh first to set in order everything, and as it was written of the Son of man, that he should suffer many things, and be rejected. 2283 But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they knew him not, and have done unto him whatsoever they desired, as it was written of him. 2384 In like manner the Son of man is to suffer of them. 2485 Then understood the disciples that he spake unto them concerning John the Baptist.
2586 And on that day whereon they came down from the mountain, there met him a multitude of many people standing with his disciples, and the scribes were discussing with them. 2687 And the people, when they saw Jesus, were perplexed,303 and in the midst of their joy hastened304 and saluted him. 2790 And on that day came certain of the Pharisees, and said unto him, Get thee out, and go hence; for Herod seeketh to kill thee. 2891 Jesus said unto them, Go ye and say to this fox, Behold, I am casting out demons, and I heal to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I am perfected. 2992 Nevertheless I must be watchful305 to-day and to-morrow, and on the last day I shall depart; for it cannot be that a prophet perish outside of Jerusalem.
3094 And after that, there came to him a man from that multitude, and fell upon his knees, and said unto him, I beseech thee, my Lord, look upon my son; he is my only child: and the spirit cometh upon him suddenly. 3195 A lunacy306 hath come upon him, and he meeteth with evils. 3297 And when it cometh upon him, it beateth him about;307 and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and wasteth;308 33100 and many times it hath thrown him into the water and into the fire to destroy him, and it hardly leaveth him after bruising him. 34101 And I brought him near to thy disciples, and they could not heal him. 35102 Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, till when shall I be with you? and till when shall I bear with you? bring thy son hither. 36103 And he brought him unto him: and when the spirit saw him, immediately it beat him about; and he fell upon the ground, and was raging and foaming. 37104 And Jesus asked his father, How long is the time during which he hath been thus? He said unto him, From his youth until now. 38105 But, my Lord, help me wherein thou canst, and have mercy upon me. 39106 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe! All things are possible to him that believeth. 40107 And immediately the father of the child cried out, weeping, and said, I believe, my Lord; help my lack of faith. 41108 And when Jesus saw the hastening of the people, and their coming at the sound, he rebuked that unclean spirit, and said to it, Thou dumb309 spirit that speakest not, I command thee,310 come out of him, and enter not again into him. 42111 And that spirit, devil,311 cried out much, and bruised him, and came out; and that child fell as one dead, and many thought that he had died. 43113 But Jesus took him by his hand, and raised him up, and gave him to his father; and that child was healed from that hour. 44114 And the people all marvelled at the greatness of God.
45115 And when Jesus entered into the house, his disciples came, and asked him privately,312 and said unto him, Why were we not able to heal him? 46117 Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief. Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence; and it shall remove; and nothing shall overcome you. 47118 But it is impossible to cast out this kind by anything except by fasting and prayer.
48119 And when he went forth thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it.313 49121 And he taught his disciples, and said unto them, 50122 Keep ye these sayings in your ears and your hearts: for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, he shall rise on the third day. 51123 But they knew not the word which he spake unto them, for it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they feared to ask him about this word. 52124 And they were exceeding sorrowful.
1125 And in that day this thought presented itself to his disciples, and they said, which haply should be the greatest among them.314 2127 And when they came to Capernaum, and entered into the house, Jesus said unto them, What were ye considering in the way among yourselves? 3128 And they were silent because they had considered that matter.
4129 And when Simon went forth without, those that received two dirhams for the tribute came to Cephas, and said unto him, Doth your master not give his two dirhams? He said unto them, Yea. 5130 And when Cephas entered the house, Jesus anticipated him, and said unto him, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive custom and tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? 6131 Simon said unto him, From strangers. Jesus said unto him, Children then are free. Simon said unto him, Yea. Jesus said unto him, Give thou also unto them, like the stranger. 7132 But, lest it trouble them, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook; and the first fish that cometh up, open its mouth, and thou shall find a staler: take therefore that, and give for me and thee.
8133 And in that hour came the disciples to Jesus, and said unto him, Who, thinkest thou, is greater in the kingdom of heaven? 9134 And Jesus knew the thought of their heart, and called a315 child, and set him in the midst, and took him in his arms, and said unto them, 10136 Verily I say unto you, If ye do not return, and become as children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. 11137 Every one that shall receive in my name such as this child hath received me: and whosoever receiveth me receiveth not me, but him that sent me. 12138 And he who is little in your company,316 the same shall be great. 13140 But whosoever shall injure one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a great millstone317 should be hanged about his neck, and he should be drowned in the depths of the sea.
14142 John answered and said, Our Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we prevented him, because he followed not thee with us. 15143 Jesus said unto them, Prevent him not; for no man doeth powers in my name, and can hasten to speak evil of me. 16144 Every one who is not in opposition to you is with you. 17145 Woe unto the world because of trials!318 but woe unto that man by whose hand the trials come 18147 If thy hand or thy foot injure thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee to enter into life being halt or maimed, and not that thou shouldest have two hands or two feet, and fall into the hell of fire that burneth319 for ever; 19149 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. 20150 And if thine eye seduce320 thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee; 21152 for it is better for thee to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than that thou shouldest have two eyes, and fall into the fire of Gehenna; 22153 where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. 23154 Every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 24155 How good is salt! but if the salt also be tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? 25156 It is fit neither for the land nor for dung, but they cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 26157 Have ye salt in yourselves, and be in peace one with another.
27158 And he arose from thence, and came to the borders of Judaea beyond Jordan: and there went unto him thither great multitudes, and he healed them; and he taught them also, according to his custom. 28159 And the Pharisees came unto him, tempting him, and asking him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? 29160 He said, What did Moses command you? 30161 They said, Moses made it allowable for us, saying, Whosoever will, let him write a writing of divorcement, and put away his wife. 31162 Jesus answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, He that made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 32163 For this reason shall the man leave his father and his mother, and cleave to his wife; and they both shall be one body? 33164 So then they are not twain, but one body; the thing, then, which God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. 34165 And those Pharisees said unto him, Why did Moses consent321 that a man should give a writing of divorcement and put her away? 35167 Jesus said unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts gave you leave to divorce your wives; but in the beginning it was not so. 36168 I say unto you, Whosoever putteth away322 his wife without fornication, and marrieth another, hath exposed her to adultery. 37170 And his disciples, when he entered the house, asked him again about that. 38171 And he said unto them, Every one who putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, hath exposed her to adultery. 39172 And any woman that leaveth her husband, and becometh another's, hath committed adultery. And whosoever marrieth her that is divorced hath committed adultery. 40173 And his disciples said unto him, If there be between the man and the woman such a case323 as this, it is not good for a man to marry. 41175 He said unto them, Not every man can endure this saying, except him to whom it is given. 42176 There are eunuchs which from their mother's womb324 were born so; and there are eunuchs which through men became eunuchs; and there are eunuchs which made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that is able to be content, let him be content.
43178 Then they brought to him children, that he should lay his hand upon them, and pray: and his disciples were rebuking those that were bringing them. 44179 And Jesus saw, and it was distressing to him; and he said unto them, Suffer the children to come unto me, and prevent them not; for those that are like these have the kingdom of God. 45180 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever receiveth not the kingdom of God as this child, shall not enter it. 46181 And he took them in his arms, and laid his hand upon them, and blessed them.
1182 And there came unto him publicans and sinners to hear his word. 2183 And the scribes and the Pharisees murmured, and said, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 3184 And Jesus, when he beheld their murmuring, spake unto them this parable: 4185 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if one of them were lost, would not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go and seek the straying one till he found it? 5186 Verily I say unto you, When he findeth it, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that went not astray; 6187 and bear it on his shoulders, and bring it to his house, and call his friends and neighbours, and say unto them, Rejoice with me, since I have found my straying sheep. 7188 So your Father which is in heaven willeth325 not that one of these little ones that have strayed should perish, and he seeketh for them repentance. 8190 I say unto you, Thus there shall be rejoicing in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons that do not need repentance.
9191 And what woman having ten drachmas would lose one of them, and not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek it with care till she found it; 10192 and when she found it, call her friends and neighbours, and say unto them, Rejoice with me, as I have found my drachma that was lost? 11193 I say unto you, Thus there shall be joy before the angels of God over the one sinner that repenteth, more than over the ninety-nine righteous persons that do not need repentance.
12194 And Jesus spoke unto them also another parable: 13195 A man had two sons: and the younger son said unto him, My father, give me my portion that belongeth to me of thy goods. 14196 And he divided between them his property. And after a few days the younger son gathered everything that belonged to him, and went into a far country, and there squandered his property by living prodigally. 15197 And when he had exhausted everything he had, there occurred a great dearth in that country. 16198 And when he was in want, he went and joined himself to one of the people of a city of that country; and that man sent him into the field326 to feed the swine. 17200 And he used to long to fill his belly with the carob that those swine were eating: and no man gave him. 18201 And when he returned unto himself, he said, How many hired servants now in my father's house have bread enough and to spare, while I here perish with hunger! 19202 I will arise and go to my father's house, and say unto him, My father, 20203 I have sinned in heaven and before thee, and am not worthy now to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 21204 And he arose, and came to his father. But his father saw him while he was at a distance, and was moved with compassion for him, and ran,327 and fell on his breast,328 and kissed him. 22207 And his son said unto him, My father, I have sinned in heaven and before thee, and am not worthy to be called thy son. 23208 His father said unto his servants, Bring forth a stately robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and put on him shoes on his feet: 24209 and bring and slay a fatted ox, that we may eat and make merry: 25210 for this my son was dead, and is alive; and was lost, and is found. 26211 And they began to be merry.329 Now his eider son was in the field; and when he came and drew near to the house, he heard the sound of many singing.330 27214 And he called one of the lads, and asked him what this was. 28215 He said unto him, Thy brother hath arrived; and thy father hath slain a fatted ox, since he hath received him safe and sound.331 29217 And he was angry, and would not enter; so his father went out, and besought him to enter. 30218 And he said to his father, How many years do I serve thee in bondage, and I never transgressed a commandment of thine; and thou hast never given me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends? 31219 but this thy son, when he had squandered thy property with harlots, and come, thou hast slain for him a fatted ox. 32220 His father said unto him, My son, thou art at all times with me, and everything I have is thine. 33221 It behoveth thee to rejoice and make merry, since this thy brother was dead, and is alive; and was lost, and is found.
34222 And he spake a parable unto his disciples: There was a rich man, and he had a steward; and he was accused to him that he had squandered his property. 35223 So his lord called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear regarding thee? Give me the account of thy stewardship; for it is now impossible that thou shouldest be a steward for me. 36224 The steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; and to beg332 I am ashamed. 37226 I know what I will do, that, when I go out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 38227 And he called one after another of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou my lord? 39228 He said unto him, An hundred portions333 of oil. He said unto him, Take thy writing, and sit down, and write quickly fifty portions.334 40231 And he said to the next, And thou, how much owest thou my lord? He said unto him, An hundred cors of wheat. He said unto him, Take thy writing, and sit down, and write eighty cors. 41232 And our335 lord commended the sinful steward336 because he had done a wise deed; for the children of this world are wiser than the children of the light in this their age. 42235 And I also say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends with the wealth of this unrighteousness;337 so that, when it is exhausted, they may receive you into their tents for ever. 43237 He who is faithful in338 a little is faithful also in much: and he who is unrighteous in a little is unrighteous also in much. 44239 If then in the wealth of unrighteousness ye were not trustworthy, who will intrust you with the truth?339 45241 If ye are not found faithful in what does not belong to you, who will give you what belongeth to you?
1242 Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who would make a reckoning with his servants. 2243 And when he began to make it, they brought to him one who owed him ten talents.340 3245 And because he had not wherewith to pay, his lord ordered that he should be sold, he, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment be made. 4246 So that servant fell down and worshipped him, and said unto him, My lord, have patience with me, and I shall pay thee everything. 5247 And the lord of that servant had compassion, and released him, and forgave him his debt. 6248 And that servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence;341 and he took him, and dealt severely with him, and said unto him, Give me what thou owest. 7250 So the fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, and said, Grant me respite, and I will pay thee. 8251 And he would not; but took him, and cast him into prison, till he should give him his debt. 9252 And when their fellow-servants saw what happened, it distressed them much; and they came and told their lord of all that had taken place. 10253 Then his lord called him, and said unto him, Thou wicked servant, all that debt I forgave thee, because thou besoughtest me: 11254 was it not then incumbent on thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee?342 120 And his lord became wroth, and delivered him to the scourgers, till he should pay all that he owed. 131 So shall my Father which is in heaven do unto you, if one forgive not his brother his wrong conduct343 from his heart. 143 Take heed within344 yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. 155 And if he act wrongly towards thee seven times in a day, and on that day return seven times unto thee, and say, I repent towards thee; forgive him. 166 And if thy brother act wrongly towards thee, go and reprove him between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 177 But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two, and so345 at the mouth of two or three every saying shall be established. 189 And if he listen not to these also, tell the congregation;346 and if he listen not even to the congregation, let him be unto thee as a publican and a Gentile.347 1912 Verily I say unto you, All that ye bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: 2013 and what ye loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. I say unto you also, If two of you agree on earth to ask, everything shall348 be granted them from my Father which is in heaven. 2115 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am l amongst them. 2216 Then Cephas drew near to him, and said unto him, My Lord, how many times, if my brother act wrongly towards me, should I forgive him? until seven times? 2317 Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven; but, Until seventy times seven, seven.349 2419 And the servant that knoweth his lord's will, and maketh not ready for him according to his will, shall meet with much punishment; but he that knoweth not, and doeth something for which he meriteth punishment, shall meet with slight punishment. 2520 Every one to whom much hath been given, much shall be asked of him; and he that hath had much committed to him, much shall be required at his hand. 2621 I came to cast fire upon the earth; and I would that it had been kindled already.350 2723 And I have a baptism to be baptized with, and greatly am I straitened till it be accomplished. 2824 See that ye despise not351 one of these little ones that believe in me. Verily I say unto you, Their angels at all times see the face of my Father which is in heaven. 2926 The Son of man came to save the thing which was lost.
3027 And after that, Jesus walked in Galilee; and he did not like to walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 3128 And there came people who told him of the Galilaeans, those whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 3229 Jesus answered and said unto them, Do ye imagine that those Galilaeans were sinners more than all the Galilaeans, so that this thing has come upon them? Nay. 3330 Verily I say unto you now,352 that ye shall all also, if ye repent not, likewise perish. 3432 Or perchance those eighteen on whom the palace fell in Siloam, and slew them, do ye imagine that they were to be condemned353 more than all the people that dwell in Jerusalem? Nay. 3534 Verily I say unto you, If ye do not all repent, ye shall perish like them.
3635 And he spake unto them this parable: A man had a fig tree planted in his vine- yard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 3736 So he said to the husbandman, Lo, three years do I come and seek fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it render the ground unoccupied? 3837 The husbandman said unto him, My lord, leave it this year also, that I may dig about it, and dung it; 3938 then if it bear fruit-! and if not, then cut it down in the coming year.
4039 And when Jesus was teaching on the sabbath day in one of the synagogues, there was there a woman that had a spirit of disease eighteen years; 4140 and she was bowed down, and could not straighten herself at all. 4241 And Jesus saw her, and called her, and said unto her, Woman, be loosed from thy disease. 4342 And he put his hand upon her; and immediately she was straightened, and praised God. 4443 And the chief354 of the synagogue answered with anger, because Jesus had healed on a sabbath, and said unto the multitudes, There are six days in which work ought to be done; come in them and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 4545 But Jesus answered and said unto him, Ye hypocrites, doth not each of you on the sabbath day loose his ox or his ass from the manger, and go and water it? 4646 Ought not this woman, who is a daughter of Abraham, and whom the devil355 hath bound eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? 4748 And when he said this, they were all put to shame, those standing, who were opposing him:356 and all the people were pleased with all the wonders that proceeded from his hand.
Section XXVIII.357
151 And at that time the feast of tabernacles of the Jews drew near. 252 So the brethren of Jesus said unto him, Remove now hence, and go to Judaea, that thy disciples may see the deeds that thou doest. 353 For no man doeth a thing secretly and wisheth to be apparent. 454 If thou doest this, shew thyself to the world. For up to this time not even the brethren of Jesus believed on him. 555 Jesus said unto them, My time till now has not arrived; but as for you, your time is alway ready. 656 It is not possible for the world to hate you; but me it hateth, for I bear witness against it, that its deeds are evil. 757 As for you, go ye up unto this feast: but I go not up now to this feast; for my time has not yet been completed. 858 He said this, and remained behind in Galilee.
959 But when his brethren went up unto the feast, he journeyed from Galilee, and to came to the borders of Judaea, to the country beyond Jordan; 1060 and there came after him great multitudes, and he healed them all there. 1161 And he went out, and proceeded to the feast, not openly, but as one that conceals himself. 1262 And the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, In what place is this man? 1363 And there occurred much murmuring there in the great multitude that came to the feast, on his account. For some said, He is good: and others said, Nay, but he leadeth the people astray. 1464 But no man spake of him openly for fear of the Jews.
1565 But when the days of the feast of tabernacles were half over, Jesus went up to the temple, and taught. 1666 And the Jews wondered, and said, How doth this man know writing,358 seeing he hath not learned? 1768 Jesus answered and said, My doctrine359 is not mine, but his that sent me. 1870 Whoever wisheth to do his will understandeth my doctrine? whether it be from God, or whether I speak of mine own accord. 1971 Whosoever speaketh of his own accord seeketh praise for himself; but whosoever seeketh praise for him that sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness in his heart there is none. 2072 Did not Moses give you the law, and no man of you keepeth the law? 2173 Why seek ye to kill me? The multitude answered and said unto him, Thou hast demons:360 who seeketh to kill thee? 2275 Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one deed, and ye all marvel because of this. 2376 Moses hath given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but it is from the fathers); and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man. 2477 And if a man is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I healed on the sabbath day the whole man? 2578 Judge not with hypocrisy, but judge righteous judgement.
2679 And some people from Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to slay? 2780 And lo, he discourseth with them openly, and they say nothing unto him. Think you that our eiders have learned that this is the Messiah indeed? 2881 But this man is361 known whence he is; and the Messiah, when he cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. 2983 So Jesus lifted up his voice as he taught in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and of my own accord am I not come, 3084 but he that sent me is true, he whom ye know not: but I know him; for I am from him, and he sent me. 3185 And they sought to seize him: and no man laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 3286 But many of the multitude believed on him; and they said, The Messiah, when he cometh, can it be that he will do more than these signs that this man doeth?
3387 And a man of that multitude said unto our Lord, Teacher, say to my brother that he divide with me the inheritance. 3488 Jesus said unto him, Man, who is it that appointed me over you as a judge and divider? 3589 And he said unto his disciples, Take heed within yourselves of all inordinate desire; for it is not in abundance of possessions that life shall be. 3690 And he gave them this parable: The ground of a rich man brought forth abundant produce: 3791 and he pondered within himself, and said, What shall I do, since I have no place to store my produce? 3892 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down the buildings of my barns, and build them, and make them greater; and store there all my wheat and my goods. 3993 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid by for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, enjoy thyself. 4094 God said unto him, O than of little intelligence, this night shall thy soul be taken from thee; and this that thou hast prepared, whose shall it be? 4195 So is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.
